Prompt #12

Caring For Each Other While Ill

For Hanzo, the former specter and revenant may be stubborn before but even him being himself was and always be stubborn. He may not admit it but sometimes he really do need the comfort, the help to fill in the void that was missing from his heart. Luckily he has his partner Kuai Laing who would made him have a purpose in life, he become the Cyromancer's Guardian in order to repent over his mistakes over murdering Bi Han despite he was innocent in the Shirai Ryu massacre.

However, he was not innocent enough as to be Kuai's brother, even emphasizing "We share blood, we are not brothers". Regardless, he fell hard, did not expect he would nut he knew what he wanted and he wanted Kuai Liang and that did. You may be well thinking, what did he need Kuai for? Despite his stubbornness but once he felt he was losing, he needed help, help with...

"Kuai I am fine. I need to go tow work, the new trainees should be starting their training right now". Hanzo tried to get up but Kuai had him chained to the bed because of how Hanzo does not want to rest and Kuai did not take it lightly. "Hanzo, you are sick and you. Need. Rest. Just. For. One. Day. I'm sure Takeda, his father and Johnny could help with the training".

"Did you say Johnny!? That nutmeat training my clan!? Oh no, I am not allowing him that".

"Everything will be fine, now stay put or you are going to hurt yourself more, do you want the students get infected by you too if you had gone?". Hanzo shook his head, having his towel off him when Kuai straddled but his hips ground him to the bed.

"Hanzo".

Hanzo could not tell if his face was heating up form the fever or the sight of his loved one right by his face, he gulped in nervous, waiting for the other man's response.

"Hanzo, try to at least rest for one whole day for me, and I might give you a reward, so what do you say?". Hanzo felt his brain shad gone short-circuit to create a comeback response. Kuai smirked but his eys were clouded with lust, generating a cool sensation on his palm and placed on Hanzo's forehead. Feeling it satisfying, Hanzo could not help but make a little noise, a moan of satisfaction.

"Good, that will help the both of us, with you making those sounds while I have an outfit for this kind of occasion, what do you say?". The Pyromancer blinked, "Can I.. have pictures?"

Kuai chuckled as he got up, "if you can stay in bed long enough then yes".

"Challenge accepted".

For Kuai, he was not as stubborn as Hanzo if he was sick but he is more shy to ask for help because growing up in the Lin Kuei, everyone is on their own, even Bi Han would not help his own brother, would but with the consequences and that is how it is drilled to his mind.

When Hanzo come to his life, he really had thought he was and always been a burden to the other man but with Hanzo's reassurance, he gladly accept them. Kuai rarely gets sick but when he does, he was pressured to rest even the smallest of cough by his workmates and clan members. If Tomas was here, he would have teleported Kuai back to bed. Now with Hanzo taking care of the younger man, he wasn't frustrated or anything but looking at how Kuai behaves, definitely experiencing the so-called Fever Dream. Hanzo could keep him in bed of course, unlike him but one disadvantage. That is:

"Kuai, you have to let me go, I need to help with the paperwork you need me to finish remember? , Kuai whined, he as clinging Hanzo tight, "But Hanzoooo, I want you here, my cuddle insect".

"What in the elder gods you mean?", Kuai finally let go, "You're scorpion so insect, you called me Polar Bear". If this were a comedic show, Hanzo would hear laughter in the background by now. "Very funny. Now stay. I'll do my paperowk=rk by s=your side =, then you don't have to whine oer me not here, understand?"

He could hear Kuai whined by the suggestion but he could see he had to agree somehow. Later then, Hanzo with his reading glasses started analyzing the paperwork while Kuai was by his lap, sleeping soundly like a cat, Hanzo would have to call Kuai a cat rather than a polar bear. His free hand massaged Kuai's temple, feeling it less warm than before and tracing his finger on his scar, always reminding how storng Kuai is and all. That is how domestic the two could be who proved time to time with their titles as Grandmasters and the deadly alliance of both Fire and Ice.
