  Quackity tries to reach out for him. A small whimper slips out of him when their caregiver promptly stops him.

"But-But- bub feels yucky. Wanna help. Cuddles help."

"I know you wanna help your little brother, buddy, and you can! You just can't touch him or we'll have two yucky-feeling babies on our hands, and we don't want that, now do we?"

"No.. but-!"

Sapnap is quick to interrupt his protests with a soft tsk,

"I know, kiddo, I know," He kneels down to match Quackity's level from where he is on the floor. He brings up his thumb to the other's cheek, guiding the little's eyes and attention away from Karl and over to him.

His heart skips a beat when he sees not the sick, but his other little boy's (just craving to comfort as opposed to being comforted) eyes water at the sight of his brother in pain. Quackity knew he was in pain and if he couldn't give him cuddles, he couldn't give him anything.

"I'll tell you what. I'm getting your brother a baba so I need to make a trip to our room where we keep all the little gear. While I'm there, I can go pick up some paper and crayons so you can make him a get-well card. How does that sound, bubba?"

The younger seems to cheer up at the sound of paper and crayons so he obliges.

His caregiver told him to sit criss-cross applesauce on the soft carpet right next to the couch Karl was lying on, (keeping a safe distance. He made that abundantly clear,) but he couldn't resist.

His eyes drag on Sapnap until he's completely out of sight, then focusing his attention back on his sick sibby.

Quackity gets onto his hands, crawling to the couch and Karl's head. This time, right next to the couch.

He brings a hand, gripping lightly on the edge of Karl's blanket, whilst his other, more hesitantly than the last, opts to push back Karl's bangs that were covering his over-heating face.

"Hiya Karl."

His heavy eyelids lift slowly, a tired smile is plastered on the sick boy's lips.

"Shouldn't be so close. Don' wanna get ducky sicky." Karl coughs out, voice raspy as ever.

Q pouts. Sighing in defeat, he lets the side of his head fall onto the edge of the couch, hiding his flushed face in his hands. He doesn't look up at the sound of faint whines or the light feel of something moving, but he does feel the obligation to peak out an eye when he feels fingers tug at his own.

He feels a smile tug on his lips when he noticed Karl moved down to his eye-line, nose so close it's touching his when he brings their now intertwined hands lower. 

After a couple seconds that felt like hours of simply staring doe-eyed with childlike innocence at each other, Karl lets his eyes drift shut, resting his forehead on Quackity's.

He knows he shouldn't be so near to Karl. He knows he'll get sick. He knows Sap wouldn't be so happy when he gets back. Despite this, he leans into the touch.

"I'm back, and I got everything! Q, please try not to spill the crayons all over the place, just this once. I know it may seem fun for you, but it is not very fun for me to clean it up for you, okay?" Sapnap looks up once he finishes his sentence, noticing his little ones so close together.

Quackity managed to snuggle his way practically glued to the other (the sick other, Sapnap points out, wincing).

The caregiver sighs, knowing their contact was inevitable.

Shaking his head, "I look away for 5 seconds-"

He smiles anyway. If he has to take care of two sick littles, so be it.
