100° Fever tropes to celebrate 100 followers!! Thank you guys so much for your support ^^
âą The slow realization that they keep brushing it off until they canât stand anymore.
âą Glassy eyes, flushed cheeks, and a voice thatâll barely go over a whisper.
âą Strange fever dreams that blur time, leaving the whumpee waking up thinking only minutes have passed when itâs been hours.
âą The whumpee trying to stand up right, but keeps swaying back and forth, unable to keep good balance from their body being so weak.
âą Random, delirious mumbling that is hardly coherent at all.
âą The soft whisper of the whumper saying âYouâre burning upâŠâ
âą The caretaker staying up all night long, warily counting each and every uneven breath that the whumpee draws in.
âą A bucket that never leaves the side of the bed in case the whumpee needs to throw up.
âą The caretaker pressing a cold cloth against the whumpeeâs head in an attempt to calm the fever.
âą Slumped posture, barely holding themselves upright while the world tilts.
âą The really dry or wet coughs that just donât seem to be getting any better.
âą Slumped posture, barely holding themselves upright while the world tilts.
âą The gross, messy saliva that drenches the whumpeeâs arm ( or hand) whenever they sneeze into it.
âą The whumpee tossing and turning, because they canât get comfortable and are too hot to sleep under the covers.
âą The caretaker rubbing the whumpeeâs back for comfort.
âą The whumpeeâs hands trembling as they fumble with a water bottle.
âą The endless mounds of tissue that are from the whumpee blowing their nose
âą Shivering even as sweat beads on their skin and forehead, eventually dripping down their face like raindrops from the sky.
âą A blanket being tucked tighter around them as they mumble in protest.
âą âYouâre too hot,â the caretaker mutters, voice laced with worry and tenderness.
âą A damp washcloth slipping from their forehead when they drift back to sleep.
âą That fragile, exhausted smile when they finally wake and whisper, âHeyâŠâ
âą Fever finally breaking in the early morning light. Soaked sheets, trembling relief, and soft reassurances from their caretaker.
