#6 from your sickfic ask prompts? :3c

Hell yeah, I’ll reblog this with the story my other account @osp-originals once I write it! Do you have any favorite among my OCs? Or do you not mind who I wrote it about?

I have a headcanon where Atsumu is more likely to get sick due to over practicing & stubbornly hiding his illnesses (or just having an unlucky immune system). While Osamu is just cursed to have more allergies (like he and Atsumu both have pollen allergies, but he has it worse. And Osamu is allergic to all pets, but Atsumu can handle cats and most animals) and overall bad symptoms. They bicker a lot who has it worse.

Yesss. Very nice. I like the Atsumu having a poor immune system option better, personally, so I'll go with that one.

Osamu has a crazy number of allergies. He's allergic to basically everything that can be airborne. Dust? Yes. Pet hair and dander? Yup. Pollen? Absolutely. It drives Osamu crazy, and Atsumu loves to tease him about his allergies. Osamu has to take lots of allergy medicine, both prescription and over-the-counter. He takes the prescription stuff in the morning and at night and uses the over-the-counter medications as needed in between his prescription doses. The worst part is that Osamu loves animals, but he can't be near them without taking a dose of Benedryl (or else his eyes and throat will swell. It's super uncomfortable, and if the swelling doesn't go down fast enough, Osamu is dragged off to the hospital for more treatment).

Atsumu's immune system is already garbage, but Atsumu overworks himself constantly, so his immune system is basically nonexistent. He gets sick from EVERYTHING. Akagi sneezed beside him once, and Atsumu was out sick with a fever for the next two days. This annoys Atsumu since it cuts into his practice time, but he also knows that it's technically at least partially his fault that he gets sick so often. Osamu is Atsumu's primary caretaker, much to Osamu's displeasure. Atsumu isn't fussy when he's sick. Instead, he's unnaturally quiet and submissive. Osamu hates taking care of him because he can't stand to see his brother so miserable. Atsumu gets terrible fevers no matter what he's sick with, and fevers make him very dizzy. He swoons or passes out at least once every time he's sick. (If his fever is too high or he hits his head from passing out, then Atsumu gets to go to the hospital too. Atsumu and Osamu have been in the hospital together for illness and allergies respectively four times to date. They room together and annoy everyone on their hospital floor. The nurses dread seeing them together and play rock-paper-scissors to determine who's going to be their nurses.)

suna sick/allergy hcs?

Sure. Here ya go.

Suna gets sick more than he probably should because he doesn't take care of himself. His eating habits are very sporadic. He either doesn't eat, or he consumes everything in his fridge in two hours. Osamu tries to help by bringing food for Suna everyday, but Osamu usually ends up eating it before it gets to Suna because Osamu got hungry waiting for lunch.

Kita is the only one who can get Suna on a regular eating schedule. Kita does this by always having extra food on hand at school and reminding Suna to eat constantly. Suna obeys because he's too scared of Kita not too. Suna even eats normally on weekends because while he's not sure how, he knows Kita will know if Suna doesn't listen to Kita.

Suna gets a mix of respiratory and stomach illnesses. He gets respiratory illnesses more in autumn and winter and stomach illnesses more in spring and summer. Suna's fevers are midrange and don't normally come with any side effects. However, extremely high fevers can give Suna awful migraines and nausea if they aren't lowered fast enough.

Suna is allergic to pollen and strawberries. His pollen allergy is pretty minor. He only takes allergy medicine during the spring to alleviate it because he doesn't have trouble in any other seasons. Suna's allergy to strawberries is much more severe. Eating strawberries gives him hives, rashes, and a fever, so he carries an EpiPen in his bag just in case. Suna has never gone into anaphylactic shock because of strawberries, but his doctor warned him that it could happen in the future, so Suna stays far away from strawberry products (even artificially flavored ones).

Can you post more of your Semi HCs? I love the stuff you’ve written for him so far.

Totally. Hey ya go!

Semi is a quiet sickie. He's in denial when he first starts showing symptoms, and he still won't say anything even after he's come to terms with being sick. He hates burdening others, especially his team and family.

This attitude has come back to bite him so many times, though. Semi is infamous for passing out at family gatherings from hiding his illnesses, and it's now an inside joke amongst his family because it's happened so many times. Semi doesn't think it's funny and gets mad whenever his family brings it up because he's not that bad, right? (He is.)

Semi has also been taken to the emergency room straight from volleyball practice a few times. The first time was in elementary school. He had the flu and didn't tell anyone, so he ended up passed out on the gym floor halfway through practice.

The most recent incident for Semi was at the end of his second year of high school. He'd had a cold all week, but since he refused to rest and relax, the cold developed into viral pneumonia. He's had trouble breathing throughout practice but doesn't tell anyone (as per usual). Then Washijou made them do flying falls around the court. Semi goes to do his first one and just... doesn't get back up. No one notices at first until Shirabu quietly asks why his upperclassman is still on his first flying fall. Everyone stops to look at poor Semi, and then it's pure chaos.

Tendou is actually responsible for once and calls an ambulance while the coaches try to assess Semi's condition. They don't know much beyond an extremely high fever and breathing difficulties, but those symptoms and passing out alone warrant a hospital visit, so Semi is sent off in the ambulance as soon as it arrives. The team comes to visit him the next day, and it turns out that Semi's fever had spiked to 104.9 °F (40.5 °C) last night, so he's super out of it on pain killers and fever reducers. Tendou records video of drugged-up Semi to be used as blackmail at a later point (and to serve as proof that Semi is NOT to be responsible for his own health anytime soon).

Semi spends a week in the hospital before he recovers enough to be discharged. Even after that, Semi's still very weak. His lungs are a wreck from pneumonia, so he's not allowed to participate in practice until his lungs recover enough for him to play. Shirabu covers for Semi while he's recovering (setting the stage for Shirabu to take Semi's position in the coming year...).

do you have any konoha sick hcs?

Yes, of course I have headcanons for the best brown owl boi. Enjoy!

Konoha gets sick pretty often, but most of the time, it's only a cold or minor illness. But when his illness is bad, it's very bad. Konoha has been hospitalized multiple times because a seemingly mundane illness (flu, stomach virus, etc.) escalated dramatically.

Konoha runs relatively high fevers, and the fevers are often accompanied by vertigo and headaches. Konoha gets a mix of stomach and respiratory ailments, but the ones that tend to get bad for him are the respiratory ailments. Those are the illnesses that lead to bad stuff like pneumonia and septic shock.

Fukurodani knows about some of Konoha's medical history, so they try to help him out when they can. Bokuto and the coach try to send Konoha home whenever they notice he's sick, but Konoha has started hiding his illnesses in retaliation because he hates missing practice. This leads to things like Konoha passing out or getting hurt from fever and exhaustion.

Akaashi and the managers are the ones to help Konoha when this happens. They keep Konoha calm and comfortable with cold compresses and makeshift blankets until help arrives (the coach is the one to determine if that's Konoha's parents or an ambulance).

The worst illness Fukurodani has seen Konoha have was bacterial pneumonia in the middle of his first year. The pneumonia developed from a lingering cough Konoha had after contracting the flu earlier that month. (Konoha fainted during a practice match with Nekoma, so Kuroo, Kai, and Yaku saw what happened too.) The coach and the managers rush over to Konoha and check him over. Konoha has a terrible fever, but the most worrying thing about his condition is that Konoha's barely breathing. The coach immediately calls an ambulance, and Konoha is taken to the hospital as soon as the paramedics arrive.

The team isn't allowed to see Konoha until three days after he was admitted because that's how long it took to get the pneumonia under control. Konoha remains hospitalized for another week because the doctors are worried about lasting damage to his lungs. The damage is relatively minor, but Konoha still has trouble shaking coughs and respiratory infections throughout high school.

Have any sick HCs for the managers? (Yachi, Kiyoko, Shirofuku, Suzumeda, etc.)

I'm not as into femwhump, but I've got a few hcs around here somewhere...

Yachi takes good care of herself, so she doesn't get sick often. She only gets sick when she's extremely stressed (exams, big games, etc.). Yachi gets mostly fevers and headaches and rarely vomits. She hasn't thrown up since elementary school, so she has a kind of streak going. Since her mother isn't really around much, Yachi learned to take care of herself when sick. This experience makes her a very good caretaker, despite her meek nature.

Kiyoko also doesn't really get sick. Instead, she gets semi-frequent migraines. She carefully manages her migraines with medication and rest, so it's not really a big deal to her anymore. On the off chance that Kiyoko does get sick, she tends to get colds and other respiratory infections. Kiyoko has only gotten sick once in high school. It was in her first year while managing the volleyball club. A flu bug was running rampant in the school and eventually took down the entire volleyball club, including Kiyoko.

Shirofuku gets sick a normal amount. She tends to get stomach ailments, but they never seem to affect her appetite. She's always hungry when she's sick. It doesn't matter how queazy or nauseous she is. Shirofuku will constantly want food, so whoever's taking care of her should always have lots of soup, crackers, rice, or other easily digestible foods on hand. If not, Shirofuku will eat whatever she comes across, no matter how much it might upset her stomach.

Suzumeda has a super good immune system. She can't explain why, but she never gets sick. Good immune systems seem to run in the family, though, because her parents never get sick either. In the extremely rare event that Suzumeda gets sick, she'll get a fever and become unusually clingy. She likes to cuddle when sick, so her caretaker should be prepared for that because she will pout very adorably until she gets her way. It's easier to just give in to her because almost no one can say no to her pouty face.

do you have any hcs for shirabu? i love his character so much 🧎🧎

I like him, but I'm more of a Semi fan myself. Don't worry, though. I still have headcanons for Shirabubu.

Shirabu is a whiny sickie, but that's only after he's caught being sick at practice or at school. Once everyone knows, he sees no point in pretending anymore and goes full-on princess mode. He's sick, so everyone is going to wait on him and listen to him complain, dammit!

Shirabu tries to take care of himself, but he can never get enough sleep because he's busy with his studies. The lack of sleep will eventually lead to him getting sick, but he only gets sick a few times a year, despite this. Shirabu spikes midrange fevers, and his worst symptoms are dizziness and coughing. He gets headaches too, so he has lots of acetaminophen and Excedrin stored in his bathroom and dorm room.

Semi and Jin are Shirabu's primary caretakers when sick, but Taichi helps out too since he's Shirabu's roommate. Without fail, these three get sick after taking care of Shirabu no matter what precautions they take. They've tried everything, but nothing seems to work. Masks? Nope. Extra sleep? Nope. Vitamin C pills? Nope. It's infuriating, and the Semi and Jin have threatened to stop taking care of Shirabu multiple times (Taichi has no say since he and Shirabu live together), but they've never gone through with it. They've helped Shirabu every time he's been sick while on campus. The rest of the team thinks it's super sweet, but they know better than to actually say that to Semi, Shirabu, or Taichi (Jin is chill, so they can talk with him).

In the manga it said Osamu did not participate in the Hyōgo Qualifier Finals because he was not feeling 100 percent. Do you have any headcanons like if he was sick or other health issue or something? I personally headcanon he caught Atsumu’s cold.

I think that's a great headcanon, and I'm going to steal it if you don't mind. He probably caught the cold taking care of Atsumu. He drags Atsumu home after Kita tells everyone that he's sick. Osamu is also the one who takes care of Atsumu the three days he's stuck at home because their parents are too busy with work to stay home. Atsumu returns the favor after Osamu gets sick, but he feels guilty that Osamu couldn't participate in the finals. Osamu bops Atsumu on the head and tells him not to worry. He's not mad at Atsumu. He knows his brother wasn't trying to get him sick, and it's not that big of a deal anyway since he'll get to play in nationals now. Atsumu tears up a little at this and hugs Osamu tightly. Osamu is surprised, but he hugs his brother back. Then he teases Atsumu for coming to practice sick, and the moment is ruined.
