[@hyah-lian requested a sickfic prompt; Far/Rabbit/Ordon down with the flu and ending up with grumpy cuddles]
Their tent was a miserable place to be. Rabbit stood his ground near the entrance, arguing with Smith to let him out. If it wasn't for whoever was their assigned guard at the moment, Far would've snuck out a while ago, and Ordon was likely to follow. At least he had a tent. Though company wasn't preferable, he had chosen his companions so this was who Far was stuck with.
Only Minish, the lucky thing, had managed to avoid the sickness that the other three had woken up with. They were trapped in their quarantine until they got better or the rest of the group came down with it too.
Rabbit broke into a fit of coughing, inadvertently letting Smith win. He collapsed onto his bedroll, breathing hard after it passed.
"They won't let me out," Rabbit groaned. "Not even to get some water. We're to ask for it to be brought to us."
"C'mon, we can't have everybody getting sick," Far said tiredly, and glanced at Ordon.
Far and Ordon had butted heads earlier, when they had noticed each others' predicaments. Ordon had been so overbearing that Far had been freaked out a bit, but he had retaliated by simply giving Ordon the exact same treatment. Ordon had shifted to his wolf form after his attempts to coddle Far were thwarted, and they had retreated to opposite corners of the tent.
Ordon gave a weak growl. Far gave him a lopsided grin right back.
"But I can still do things!" Rabbit protested. "Look at me, I'm fine! I'm barely sick!"
"You'll hit your fever soon enough," Far said, and Ordon huffed agreement.
Rabbit coughed again, and Far made a considering noise.
"Hey Ordon, what say we both get what we want?" Far said quietly, gesturing at Rabbit.
Ordon flicked an ear and heaved himself up. He crept behind Rabbit, who was completely unaware, and easily took his sleeve between his teeth. He gently tugged and Rabbit had no choice but to stumble over to where Far was waiting.
"Ordon, don't you dare!" Rabbit hissed as Ordon slipped behind him and shoved him into Far's arms. "Far, you're roasting, now isn't the time for cuddles-"
Far laughed softly, holding his squirming partner tight. "We're all stuck in here together, we might as well."
