Voltron (KEITH)
"Shiro, Keith's out of bed again," Pidge calls from her spot on the couch. Keith gives her a betrayed look, but he gives himself away a moment later.
"Heh'GZZTshhh...hih'TZZsghh...huh'GSHhhh" He sniffles wetly and wipes his nose on his wrist as Shiro walks out of the kitchen.
"Ew, don't wipe your nose on your arm," Pidge whines. Shiro gives Keith a look that could melt metal.
"Keith this is the third time you've left your room. You'll never get better if you don't rest," Shiro tells him firmly before taking him by the shoulder and steering him back into his bedroom.
"Combe ond, I'mb barely even sicgk," Keith argues. Shiro rolls his eyes and hands him the box of tissues. Keith glares but takes the box and blows his nose.
"Keith I'm not doing this to-"
"Hih'dZZtSh huh'GZdTShhhh, sorry."
"Bless you -punish you," he finishes after pausing to let Keith sneeze.
"Sure feels thad way," Keith mumbles, voice muffled by the tissues. Shiro shakes his head and moves to sit next to Keith on the bed.
"Keith I just want you to get better, but to do that you need rest. Now get some sleep," Shiro says smoothing back Keith's hair.
Halfway through round one of training, the team hears a poorly muffled sneeze from down the hall and exchanged exasperated expressions.
"What are you gonna do, Shiro?" Hunk asks. Shiro was running his hands through his hair in frustration. Then Keith was in the training room, dressed out in full armor. And sneezing.
"Hih'DTZ...hih'DtSh...sorry, let'd do thid," he says taking up a fighting stance. No one moves for several moments until Shiro is once again leading Keith by the shoulder back to his room.
"Keith, training is not included in resting. Just lay here and go to sleep. I'm serious. Don't leave this room again," he says once again putting Keith to bed, tucking him in, and brushing back his hair. Shiro leaves the room to the sound of Keith's coughing. Shiro wasn't sure what to do with the red paladin. He seemed so set on not doing as he was told. He knew it was only a matter of time until Keith was out of bed again.
And that time was only an hour later. Hunk found him in the control room working on something. Hunk surprises him with a warm hand on his shoulder.
"Keith, aren't you supposed to be in bed?" Hunk asks. Keith shrugs.
"Huh'DTZzzshh...Hih'dZZtSh eh'TZZshhiew," Keith stays bent into his elbow for another moment after the sneezes end, catching his breath. Hunk winces at the rattly sound of his breath.
"Bless you. Come on, we're getting Shiro," Hunk says pulling him up and leading him up the stairs.
Shiro sighs when he hears Keith's coughing before he sees either him or Hunk.
"Keith, what did I say, come on, back to bed with you," Shiro says. This time, it's easier to get Keith into bed.
"If you leave this bed one more time, I swear I will strap you to it," Shiro says. Keith looks away and sniffles.
"Dond't leave. I dond't feel good," Keith says. Shiro frowns and puts a hand on Keith's forehead.
"You've got a fever. No wonder you're being so stubborn. Don't worry, I'll stay," he says sitting beside Keith on the bed. He hands Keith a couple of tissues when his lips curl up.
"Huh'DTZzzshh...Hih'dZZtSh." Keith sniffles miserably and blows his nose.
"Bless you. Get some rest," Shiro says, but this time, he stays seated on the edge of the bed with his sick, stubborn paladin.
