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