[ rest. ]

weight. heat. nausea.

it starts the way it always does; the sharp little pain in your left side, the heat that doesn't seem to ease, and the aches in your bones that nearly cause you to crumble. your lungs welt like they were coated in honey, thick and strangling, each breath seemingly more difficult than the last.

you hadn't said anything, there was no need to. you weren't dying or anything, the world would continue to spin while you dealt. it wasn't always easy, though, to not speak. you saw how they looked at you when your hand trembled trying to pour juice at breakfast but they didn't speak. one because she wasn't sure you'd want her to, and the other because she knew you didn't want it pointed out.

you were grateful, but you knew it wouldn't last. it wasn't bad, no.. they both seemed to always have perfect timing.

like every other bad day, kory approached first. she always did, never being one to keep her worries to herself. she always approached gently when you weren't doing well, kneeling by the side of the bed you were curled up on. you caught how she smiled briefly taking notice of her shirt being on you.

"may i?" she asks, not too loud but not a whisper. you can't find it in you to give a verbal response and just nod.

kory moves with ever present grace to slide in behind you, her frame settled against yours in such a way that feels like it was meant to be. you just sigh and ease into it, melting under the affection and closing your eyes once more. "you are warm," she mumbles, one hand brushing along your arm as her chin rests at your crown.

she doesn't say anything else, but you doze off knowing there's a frown on her lips.

you aren't sure if your eyes are closed for hours or minutes when you feel the edge of the bed dip just slightly. you don't have to look to know it's raven, stepping in like a shadow and claiming her place among the two of you. she adjusts to cross her legs and reaches, fingertips brushing against your cheekbone.

when your eyes do finally crack open, you can see something in her own. it isn't pity, it's never pity. it takes a moment for you to pin it down as understanding and something in your gut twists; something like guilt for making them both worry. "you've been tired lately.." she begins, "not eating correctly. you've been trying to hide how you're feeling."

the urge to argue didn't come like it normally would, no, you just curled a little tighter. her hand shifts lower, down until it rests above your side over the blanket, thumb brushing the material like you could feel it if she focused enough. "you're not broken just because you get sick or feel bad," she mumbles, the corner of her lips twitching down just a tiny bit.

"you are not a burden, starlight," kory finally says, humming gently from behind you, "you do not have to hide when you feel down.. we are here to take care of you on those days, the same as you are for us." the conviction in her tone makes you want to squirm but you just sigh, gaze flickering to stare at the empty doorway. kory's fingers move to smooth over your hair, the warm pads of her fingers brushing the shell of your ear. "it is okay to need rest."

raven's gaze is on her, like she's taking in each syllable before shifting her attention back to you. "listen to her for once," she says, the faintest hint of amusement in her tone. she doesn't let it linger and leans to press a kiss to your temple, staying there for a moment.

"rest."
