a moment of weakness: ill
@therussianandthefinn sent ‘a moment of weakness’ for a randomly generated starter scenario - 20 my muse is sick, near passing out, but keeps on pushing
fever. it’s just a fever. he’s been neglecting his health for days now, he knows he has, and it shows in how his cheeks are permanently red, how he sways like a branch in the breeze, he’s clumsy-- he tries, so damn hard to cut a single slice of orange, but catches his thumb instead.
“ mierda “ he stumbles back, his hips hitting the counter behind him and he slumps, watching beads of blood drip from his finger and onto the floor. he doesn’t like feeling this way-- weak, in need of help, having to rely on other people was not something he enjoyed.
that’s how he ended up collapsing. the floor was rushing up to greet him, the fever finally taking its toll and claiming his consciousness for itself. the tile feels cool against his cheek, and his fingers feel numb. he’s shivering on the floor. he’s made a loud, clattering thud as he falls.
that’s the only sign anyone will get that he needs help.
