author’s note: I woke up under the weather so I felt like writing this lol
——————————————————————————
You woke up to a pounding headache. The kind that makes it hard to tell where you end and the pain begins. Just a few days ago, you were nursing your sick mom back to health, and now it's your turn to face the same infection. The price of love, you think—taking care of those who mean everything to you, even when it costs you.
You felt the bed shuffle. Then the sound of a lighter flicker. Your boyfriend Smokey was having his wake and bake session. You slowly looked over your shoulder, feeling like if you turned too fast, you might puke on the spot.
Turning back, you said, "Can you take it somewhere else?"
Smokey turned towards you, giving you an exaggerated, confused look. "Wait, wait—hold up. Ain't nobody say nothin' when I smoke, now you trippin'?"
"You can smoke, just not here, I don't feel good," you replied quietly.
"Huh?" His tone shifted instantly, sounding more concerned. In a flash, he was at your side, kneeling down in front of you. His eyes softened, and his usual joking expression faded. "Damn, you look rough. What happened to you?"
"You don't look so good. Hell happened to you?" he asked, his voice soft but heavy with concern.
"I must've caught it from my mom," you murmured, your voice barely above a whisper. "Could you run to the pharmacy and grab some aspirin?"
"Yeah, yeah," Smokey said quickly, already moving. He changed clothes faster than you could blink, grabbed his keys, and bolted out the door.
Sliding into his old 1976 Ford Pinto, the engine roared to life, and he sped toward the pharmacy. About thirty minutes later, he returned with a bottle of aspirin and a small bag of groceries, including your favorite canned soups—tomato and mushroom.
As he stepped back into the house, the sound of retching from the bathroom stopped him cold. His heart sank. Dropping the bag of groceries, he rushed to find you hunched over the toilet, your body trembling.
Your face was ghostly pale, beads of sweat clinging to your forehead. He knelt beside you without hesitation, his hand gently resting on your back as you gasped for air.
Smokey grabbed a hand towel and quickly ran it under cold water in the sink. Wringing it out just enough, he returned to your side and gently placed it on your forehead.
"Goddamn, you're burning up," he said softly, his worry slipping through, even as he tried to keep things light. He brushed a stray strand of hair from your face. "We need to get you right. Hold up, I'm here."
"I know," you reply softly, your voice weak but sincere. "Thank you for taking care of me."
He offered a smile, the kind that made everything feel a little bit better, despite the situation. "Ain't no thing. You know I got you," he murmured, gently squeezing your hand.
You couldn't help but smile, even through the pain. Smokey's personality was bigger than life, and it was exactly what you needed right now. Even in moments like this, his energy and that comforting, goofy vibe made everything feel a little more bearable.
Hi! I wanted to ask if I could get some hcs on how the leaders of S.W.O.R.D + Mighty Warriors comforts and takes care of their injured lover? I've had a bad week and got hurt recently and saw your requests open and wanted to ask. I hope you're doing well though!
I’m so sorry to hear that you’re having a bad week :(((
I hope this helps even just a little bit
I hope things start to get better for you, and that your injury heals quickly!!
I apologize in advanced for the Mighty Warriors, i still dont know much about them, and I know missed most of them, but I hope this makes you smile!!
All the love ~ ember 🤍
S.W.O.R.D and Mighty Warriors Take Care of Their Injured Partner
Cobra
Okay I know this man is portrayed as one of the toughest guys in the series, but I just know he’s a softie for his partner
When it comes to injuries, he’s got plenty of experience, and knows how to take care of almost anything
However, if it is a more serious injury, he is right by your side taking you to the hospital
And he’s not leaving your side until you are comfortable
Very very attentive to everything
Whether he is the one treating the injury, or its the doctors, he is paying attention to you fully and completely
If the doctor is the one treating the injury, he is listening to everything that they are saying so that he knows what to do when he takes you home
When y’all are back home, do not even think about lifting a single finger
He is an acts of service kind of guy, honestly he would love taking care of you
Again with being attentive, he doesn’t exactly know what you might need, so he over prepares
And he has no shame is asking friends for help getting him stuff if you dont want him to leave you alone
Need food? He’s asking Naomi to bring something from diner Itokan
Yamato is also on speed dial for anything that you could possibly need (bestie benefits lmao)
Has no issues changing your bandages if that’s what you need
And is immediately reassuring you that he wants to help if your an over thinker (talking about myself lol)
Honestly, Cobra is one that I would definitely want around
Becomes clingy when he knows your hurt, but dont tell anyone
Baby just wants to take care of you
Rocky
Rocky is great at taking care of his partner, however he is not the best when it comes to medical things
Naturally he is taking you to the hospital, cause he knows that the doctors will give you better treatment than he can
Attentive to you, more than what the doctors are saying
When the two of you get home, he might need reminders on treatment and what to do
He was just so worried about you, he missed a lot of the instructions
Does everything he can to make you comfortable
Is totally willing to shut down the club until you are better, so that nothing distracts him from you
Another attentive man, he is constantly asking what you need
Acts of service pt. 2, will not let you move a muscle
Tries to keep his normal calmness, but is rushing to your side no matter what
Gets nervous that anything touching you will hurt you
Honestly, he wouldn’t be clingy with you, and might not cuddle you at all
He’s just so nervous that if he touches you, you’ll be in pain
Honestly, protects you from everything as if you’re made of glass
Might even feed you soup if you ask nicely (again, dont tell anyone)
Wont let anyone go near you unless you say its okay
Even then, hes watching like a hawk to make sure nothing could possibly hurt you
Treats you like a queen always, but is extremely careful when you are injured
Murayama
I cannot with this man
Such a softie for you and honestly is not afraid to show it
He already is clingy, but when you’re injured, mans is glued to your side
Fairly confident with his ability to treat injuries, but will still take you to the hospital, just to be safe
Doesn’t seem like he listens to what the doctors tell him, but remembers everything when the two of you get home
Doesn’t necessarily watch over you like a hawk, but will scold you if you try to do anything on your own
He doesnt need to watch over you because he is stuck to your side
Honestly you are not getting him off of you anytime soon
Has his friends pick up literally anything you could possibly want or need because he refuses to leave your side
Honestly might get a little annoying asking if you’re okay or if you need anything
But its just because he loves you and wants you to get better
Holds you as if it’s the last time he will ever be able to
Refuses to let anyone near you because “you’re his fragile baby”
No shame in having others see him cling to you
Honestly his friends have no issues helping to get what you need
Partially because you’re friends with them too
Partially because Murayama would give them the “say no and I’m beating you up” look
He really does a good job taking care of you, though might go a little bit overboard, but its just because he loves you
Rocky
Ohhh no
This man is freaking out
Internally of course
Not once does he lose his composure
Very good with injury care, so he probably will just treat the injury himself
Seems upset, but in reality, he doesnt want you to know that he is freaking out, cause he doesnt want you to freak out too
Another attentive partner
He’s already attentive to your needs, but when you are injured, he is willing to go to the ends of the earth to get what you need
Even if he needs to leave your side, he makes the trip very quick
Honestly is never gone for more than 15 minutes
And wants to get everything himself, cause he is internally blaming himself for you getting injured
Even if he had nothing to do with it, or no way of preventing it from happening
Poor baby :(
Wont necessarily cling to you, but also refuses to leave your side
However if you ask he will cuddle you for as long as you want
Another one who is cautious to let others near you, but isn’t super stressed about it
He’s stressed about your own well being and you getting better
If there are any issues going on in nameless city he will send the others to deal with it until you tell him its okay for him to go
He is their guardian angel after all (what a man)
Another leader that I would for sure want around when injured
Hyuga
When he finds out you’re injured, he’s beyond angry
I mean who has the audacity to mess with his partner ?!
Please tell him what happened before someone ends up in the hospital room next to you
With him, you might be the one calming him down
There is nothing he hates more than seeing you hurt, it makes him so angry
HOWEVER
Still attentive to you, and will take care of you before he tries to hurt anyone else
If someone else did hurt you, they better flea the city before he gets to them
If it was a matter of you injuring yourself, like falling out of a tree or something PLEASE TELL HIM IMMEDIATELY
Sorry that was the first thing that came to mind lol
Might turn into a protective dad and lecture you about being more careful
He just wants you to be safe
Like Rocky, hes not the greatest when it comes to injury care so he is taking you to the hospital
Seems aloof throughout the entire healing process, however he did actually listen to the doctor, and he does actually take very good care of you
Doesn’t mind of others come to see you
Also isn’t super clingy, unless you ask him for cuddles
Very calm about the situation once he finds out what happened
Gets you what you need, and a little extra gift too to make you feel better
He is attentive to you always, despite what others may think
Ice
Ice is calm the entire time
Doesn’t really know how to treat injuries, but also doesn’t necessarily freak out when you are injured
Takes you to the hospital, listens to what the doctor says, and follows their instructions carefully
Attentive in a very calm manner
Very laid back, however he is still at your side the whole time
Will sit with you and cuddle you, but wont necessarily be glued to your side
Still takes care of the things that he needs to do, while also taking care of you
Productive king
Cooks for you, cleans for you, does anything you ask of him
But will also sit by your side all night watching whatever movies you pick with a pile of your favorite snacks that he picked up earlier that day
If you need something, but dont want him to leave, hes asking Sarah (bestie benefits pt.3)
If you try to do something on your own, hes not gonna lecture you, but he will question you
“What are you doing?” “Getting a glass of water…” “Why didnt you let me get if for you?” Type of thing
Honestly, others may think that he really doesnt care, but in reality, he cares more than he wants to show
And he shows you that he cares with how he takes care of you
Wont shut down the club, but also wont perform either
You are his top priority
Jesse
Unbothered king
After his time fighting in prison, he knows how to handle injuries
Takes care of you himself
Is super sweet with you and only you, ALWAYS, but is more intense with others when you are injured
Does not want anyone distracting him from taking care of you
And will only leave to take care of business if it is something big
And if you say its okay, of course
Another productive king
He already treats you like a queen, its just emphasized when you are injured
Another acts of service kind of guy
Wont lecture of you try to do something on your own, and will only ask what you are doing, but wont be bothered by anything
He knows you are an adult and you can take care of yourself
But he does want to do it for you, regardless
Again, not super clingy, but will hold you if you ask him too (awwww)
Becomes even softer with you
Doesn’t necessarily treat you like you’re gonna break, but just wants you to know that he is there for you
Wants to show you that, despite his fighting habits, he can actually take care of you the way that you deserve
Loves you so deeply, sometimes he doesnt know how to show it
Will play with your hair while the music from the club is shaking the building (something you’re used to already)
52 with kizzy and kaito (they're all dating each other <3)
i just rambled off random numbers lmao THANK YOU SO MUCH
23 was taken so i went for number 32 w smokey <3
"I CANNOT EXPLAIN THIS REACTION!"
lala watches her brother closely as he smiles to the ground. you're in front of him, grinning and laughing with your co-workers. smokey was your favorite customer - he was everyone's purely because of his kindness alone.
you giggle, "it's on me this time! let me pay for him!"
a coworker shoves you half-heartedly, rolling his eyes playfully. the rosey color on his cheeks darkening the longer your eyes stay on him. smokey breathes out, "i can pay for my own drinks."
you lean over the counter to whisper to him. "we always pay for the pretty ones." you wink dramatically before diffusing into laughter again.
it reminded lala of the drunks at club heaven - she knew you meant well and so did her brother. but, smokey's faces grows pinker as he stutters briefly. smokey only hums, tucking his chin further into his chest. he's so helpless.
lala rolls her eyes before sauntering up to the counter, returning the wave you send her way. slyly, she leans onto the counter before speaking. "he could always pay you back with a date, hm?"
it's your turn to freeze, eyes widening and mouth falling at her words. smokey's head snaps up, red ears peeking from his hair. your smile softens as your eyes meet his, "i wouldn't mind a date."
"um-" smokey can't hide his smile as he lowers his head once more. "okay. a date."
——♥︎——
my fave boy to make all shy nd blushy <3 your other requests will b posted soon!
Can I please request head canons of Smokey with a cheerful girlfriend or wife. 😊
ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ sᴍᴀʟʟ ᴛʜɪɴɢs
Pairing: Smokey x afab!reader
Summary: Smokey with a cheeful gf/wife
Warnings: tooth-rotting fluff, swearing
Authors note: I LOVE WHEN THIS MAN SMILES thankoo for requesting Smokey!!!
Request: above!
Sun person x moon person fr fr
Smokey would thrive off her radiance and energy, especially when he wouldn’t be having the best day
Gives the vibes of sitting and watching her do something but he’s smiling the whole time, imagining spending the rest of his life with her, being the first person he wakes up to and the last person to see before he sleeps. The woman he wants to hold when things are tough, wipe her tears and her wipe his
Definitely visiting her often after a day of protecting the city, engulfing her in a hug and enjoying the way she soothes his soul
He probably doesn’t have a lot of free or downtime due to his role but on the occasion he does, he seems like the kind of guy to just chill and do whatever she wants bc he likes seeing her smile and eyes light up
Enjoys cuddling her when sleeping bc he’s terrified of losing her, she’s the light of his life
Strikes as the guy to enjoy walks around the city, taking in the sentiments of their home
Moreover, hand holder 100%. Cold hands? He’s holding them in his pockets, giving her his gloves. Need reassurance? He’s squeezing to let her know he’s still with her
Gives her his coat too, wraps her up snug and gives her hugs. Doesn’t really care if he’s cold, he just wants her to keep smiling
She’s the only person who can get him grinning like an idiot, her energy is just too contagious for him to handle and ends up smiling or chuckling with her, usually in private though, in public he just smiles
CHEEK AND HEAD KISSES ALL THE TIME. Does that thing where he kisses her forehead before he leaves anywhere, sometimes goes for the mouth if it’s a major fight
Peacefully listen to her day any day. Smokey’s a very attentive person and listens to all the details word for word, picking up on what made her grin the most and what made her frown the most
Protective as fuck but not jealous, doesn’t mind her hanging with the boys and looking after them after fights but god forbid anyone tried flirting
Would prefer a small wedding, just her friends, family and his family invited. He doesn’t like having it publicised
Would love her timelessly, in all lifetimes and universes. He loves all the small things about her and how she’s in love with life itself
H&L harem (if you wanna be tagged/removed in future H&L content, comment or lemme know via ‘chat to me bbygorl’ :D);
Request: I saw you was doing requests so could i request a reader x docs old friends headcannons (smokey, river, junior and Louise if it's not too much?)
A/N: I always get nervous when I do Cars content. It's really hard to write for these beans sometimes. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Smokey
He seems like he'd be really sweet guy
Always checks in with you to see how you're feeling, even though he's not a parent he's got that paternal instinct (with everyone but especially you)
Not to suggest he sees you as a kid though, he is one of the few people who appreciates you and sees your skill even when you don't
Always encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone
Helping him around his shop
When the two of you need to let loose, cruising on a drive through the forest or hitting the dirt track
Listening to him brag about spending time with you
River
River is definitely a little standoffish at first, but you're kind of intrigued by him
He is a race car after all
He's definitely the type of car who wouldn't talk much to you at first, but once you get to know him he doesn't shut up
Spending long nights listening to stories of his glory days
Even though you were there for some of it, you never get tired of him telling it
Listening to music together, he seems like a guy who would appreciate some good music
Hanging out with the group a lot because he loves spending time with his racing buddies
Him trying to convince you to race him and you reminding him he's not as young as he once was
Junior
Junior is a little similar to River but the difference is he's not actually standoffish, he just comes off looking rude so often people don't stop to talk
But you did
And you never regretted it afterward
He's actually a really funny guy
He always embellishes stories which is why you've stopped letting him tell them, especially when they're about you
He's more peaceful than the rest of the group, enjoying his quiet retirement
Spends a lot of time with you, doesn't really talk about racing unless with his buddies
Louise
Finally, saved the best for last, Louise
She's definitely a real sweetheart when it's just the two of you but she can be a tad bit aggressive when around other cars
Mostly because she still feels like she has to prove herself to those around her
You spend a lot of time reminding her she doesn't
The two of you still actively race each other and have fun friendly competitions
She misses racing a lot
Watching races together on the screen (always, of course, rooting for Lightning McQueen / Cruz Ramirez because loyalty to Doc)
