Turning Red | Robaire and Aaron T | Whumptober Day 2 | Thermometer | Delirium
CW: Implied Past Child Abuse/Neglect
Robaire and Aaron T have been quarantined to Aaron's room (they each have a fever) and Robaire still somehow manages to take care of T.
The wee hours of the morning cast a light grey hue over Aaron T’s room. Robaire counted the seconds in each minute, too restless to actually sleep. Aaron T was a heater next to him, softly snoring despite how sick he’d seemed forty minutes ago.
They were both sick. That’s why they were together.
Robaire twisted under the covers and reached for the thermometer on the bedside table. It sat at a steady 20 Celsius, about 11 degrees hotter than it felt. He fiddled with the end of it, watching the little red line reach up higher and higher as his fingertips warmed it.
Aaron mumbled something, so Robaire turned back to face him again. His brows were furrowed. The bed shook along with him.
Robaire shuffled closer, wrapping an arm around him. Aaron nuzzled into him and mumbled something barely legible.
“Mom?”
It took everything to stop himself from flinching.
“I’m cold.”
Robaire pulled the covers up higher, pulled him closer, did everything he could to make him comfortable. “I’ve got you.”
Aaron sighed into him, the tension leaving his face as he fell into deeper sleep. Robaire laid there, eyes open, and went back to counting the seconds in each minute.
HSKJSKKSKDKAKSAKKSKSSK ME????? YOU want to get to know ME? Sorry, don’t mind me panicking because I am in LOVE with your blog and writing! Yes, yes absolutely! *goes into other room to scream in happiness*
I swear to god, the two main reboots of this defunct d*sney MMO are the WHUMPIEST things imaginable. Like, in one of them, a guy wins the election and immediately gets kidnapped for ten years, and in the other, you literally get drafted into a war AND it's implied (design-wise only, sadly) that one of the enemies used to be someone on your side. What the fuck! /posi
