Sickie: Seungkwan
Caretaker: seventeen (Vernon)

Seungkwan p.o.v
I was always very proud of having a strong immune system. I could run around in the rain for hours and then sit in an air conditioned car, and still manage to not get sick. I also could kiss Vernon when he was dying in bed with a fever of 38.9⁰ fever and still manage to stay healthy. The members always asked me how I managed. Good diet? Sleeping? I didn't know, honestly my diet was kinda trash and I didn't sleep any more than any of the other members. But it was something I was always proud of. It led to me often being the one to take care of the others during late February when the annual flu passed through the group. So when February rolled around and the weather was dismal, rainy and cold, I was ready for the onslaught of fevers, the being woken up at 3AM to loud coughing fits, Vernon being a clingy boyfriend, (okay that one wasn't something i would complain about) But, February 21st just days after I had been telling Vernon how surprised I was that none of the members had fallen sick yet, I woke up with an achy feeling over my whole body, a sore throat, and a heavy congestion in my head. I quietly groaned, my literal 11 year streak of not getting sick was broken. I had forgotten how absolutely terrible it is. The bed was empty which caused me to assume that Vernon had already gone out, likely in search of breakfast. I climbed out of bed, stumbling slightly, feeling a bit unsteady. I trudged downstairs, seeing Vernon was sitting on the couch I went over and flopped down, laying my head on his lap. "Good morning boo" he said, not looking up from his phone, but starting to run his fingers through my hair. "Nonie?" I spoke softly, my throat felt like it was on fire. He paused, and looked down at me, his soft smile replaced with a concerned frown.

Seungkwan came downstairs, waking up much later than he usually does, he came over and lay across my lap. "Good morning Boo" i continued playing a game on my phone, playing with his hair with my other hand. "Nonie?" His voice sounded hurt, sad and small. "Are you okay?"
"I think I'm sick" I tried to hide my surprise, I don't think Seungkwan has gotten sick in the almost 7 years we've been dating… actually I don't think he's been sick the entire time I've known him. "It's been so long since I've been sick, I forgot how awful it is." He coughed, it sounded painful. "I'm sorry baby" he sat up, and sniffled, "can you just drug me until it's over?" I smiled, and brushed his hair off of his face, noticing the heat coming off of his forehead. "You can take medicine, but first you need to eat" he pouted, "I'm not hungry"
"I know baby, but you can't take medicine in an empty stomach" he pouted and sniffled, his bright pink nose and pout gave him a cute innocent look. "C'mon just something small"
"Okay" he ducked towards his shoulder and coughed a few times, wincing after. "What doesn't feel good?"
"Everything" I gently pushed him off my lap and stood up, I took his hands and helped him stand. "Like your stomach, your head, throat?"
"Throat, head, nose, and my whole body is achy" I kissed his forehead, "sounds like you've got a bit of the the flu baby"
"But I never get sick!! The last time I was sick was 11 years ago!!!" He coughed again, this time was more harsh, and sounded painful. I pulled him into a hug, pressed against my chest, I could feel his breath getting shaky. "Are you crying?" suddenly worried about him. "Hhitchii -hhh– hhtchii itchHi-etchiH-tchIii- cchhhi"
"Oh, bless you" he sniffled, "thank you"
"C'mon let's get breakfast" he whimpered softly when I stopped hugging him. I took his hand, and he began clinging to my arm like his life depends on it. The two of us walked to the kitchen, "why don't you sit down at the table, I'll get you food" he whined, and pressed his forehead against my arm, "no, I want you" he kept a tight grip on my arm as I moved around the kitchen. As he did, Seungcheol, Jeonghan, and Minghao all gave us strange looks. "Is he okay?" Jeonghan asked, but it was obvious the others were wondering the same thing. "He's sick" the three of them had matching shocked looks on their faces. "Seungkwan is sick?" Minghao shook his head, "I didn't even think that was possible" Seungcheol rolled his eyes, "don't be ridiculous, everyone gets sick" Seungkwan coughed again, and Seungcheol gave him a concerned look, "although, this is surprising" I nodded, "Seungkwan why don't you go lay down" he shook his head, keeping it buried against my arm, and tightened his grip on my arm. "He's… very cuddly" I gently stroked his hair. "Why don't you both go back to the couch" Jeonghan suggested, I shook my head, "he needs to eat" Seungkwan whined. "I'll make something for him, you can both go back to the couch" Minghao suggested sending the two of us out of the room. I nodded, "c'mon baby, let's go lay down" I kissed his forehead, which was quite warm. The two of us went out to the couch, I sat down, Seungkwan lay down, his head on my lap. I began running my hands through his sweaty hair.
There was a loud, crashing sound, as Seokmin, Chan, and Soonyoung pounded down the stairs. Their voices were loud, and as soon as they got to the living room, I hushed them, pointing at Seungkwan. They quickly quieted themselves, "is he asleep?" Soonyoung whispered. I nodded, but Seungkwan quietly spoke up, "no"
"Are you okay?" Seokmin asked , Seungkwan nodded, his eyes still closed, when his eye lashes started fluttering, "hhitchhi- tchiiU-hhtCHii-"
"Bless you" the four of us said in unison, he quietly thanked us, rubbing his nose and sniffing. "Are you sick?" Seungkwan and I both nodded, "Seungkwan is sick?" Chan looked in shock, Seungkwan nodded, and rubbed his nose. "Vernon, what did you do to him?" Seokmin over dramatically asked, I rolled my eyes, Seungkwan shook his head, and set his head on my lap, "he's taking care of me" he nuzzled into my lap, "he's a good boyfriend" I blushed. The others laughed, "you're so cute" I said softly, brushing his hair off of his face. While the others cringed and fake gagged at my comment. The few of them left towards the kitchen, wishing Seungkwan to feel better as they did. 
"I don't feel good" he whimpered, I played with his hair as I did so, "I know baby, probably because you have a fever"
"No, my sinuses hurt"  I bent down and kissed his nose, which apparently was sensitive from his illness, "hhhTTChhi-hhhAtChii tttchhii hh-hhitTchi"
"Bless You" he sniffled and grabbed a tissue from the coffee table next to the couch, and blew his nose. "Is it normal for my nose to be this itchy?" He whined, blowing his nose again. "Yep, pretty much"
"This sucks"
"I know baby I'm sorry" he lay back down on my lap, "I want to sleep"
"Once you eat, we can medicate you and send you to bed" he nodded, I heard Scoups call us from the kitchen, "breakfast is ready"
"C'mon let's go pretty boy" I kissed his forehead, the two of us walked together to the kitchen, the other 11 members were already eating. "Good morning love birds" Joshua said, noticing the two of us. "Morning" I said, sitting down at the table, Seungkwan sat down on my lap, "why's he so cuddly?" Jun asked, pointing at Seungkwan who was curled up in my lap like a koala. "He-"
"HhtcHU hht-CHuH-hhtChHi hhTchhyyu"
"Bless you Seungkwan…. That's something I never thought I'd say" Joshua said laughing. "He's sick" I explained, brushing his hair off of his forehead. The others gave sympathetic looks as Seungkwan muffled a painful sounding coughing fit into my chest. I rubbed his back  comfortingly, Wonwoo set a glass of water on the table next to us. I tapped his shoulder, he pulled away from me, and took a drink of the water. "Ow" he whimpered, rubbing at his throat. I placed a soft kiss to his temple, "I'm sorry baby" I whispered into his ear. He cuddled against me again. "Baby I know you don't feel good, but trust me you'll feel better if you eat something. Then we can drug you and you can sleep" he whined softly, but sat up, taking a few bites, before leaning back against my chest, "do you want me to feed you?" I asked quietly, knowing that having a fever can make it hard or tiring to do simple things, he blushed, but nodded.
Scoups seemed to notice we wanted some peace, because he turned to the others, "guys, living room?" The 10 others nodded, and followed the leader out.

Scoups p.o.v
The rest of us headed to the living room, "alright guys, Seungkwan has always been really good about taking care of all of us… literally every year… since debut. So I think we should be mindful to be helpful in taking care of him. So, here's my plan, Jeonghan, can you set the dehumidifier up in the Verkwan room? Jihoon, can you put Seungkwan's blanket in the dryer? Chan, can you find the thermometer? Mingyu, can you make soup for dinner? I'll get the medicine he'll need, the rest of you, please disappear, and once the others finish, also disappear, Seungkwan needs sleep, and he'll get the best sleep in a quiet dorm"
The others nodded in agreement. They quickly did as I asked, and the 11 of us left the dorm, just before doing so I let Vernon know that we were leaving. And then wished Seungkwan to feel better.

Once the others left the dorm it felt so quiet. "Ready for some sleep baby?" He nodded, "as soon as we-"
"Hhhtchii- HHh- ehh- hhTchhyyu hHtchU-HitcHhu HHttcchUH HHtchhi"
"Bless you- as soon as you get medicated you can -bless you- get some sleep" he nodded, "can you get off my lap so I can get you medicine" he shook his head, "you're comfy" I kissed the top of his head, "you'll feel better if you get medicine"
"Carry me?" He gave me pleading, puppy dog eyes. "It's a good thing you're so cute and small" I picked him up, allowing him to koala cling to me. "Not cute," he said, burying his face into my neck. I laughed, carrying him to our room, the medicine was sitting on the bedside table. He swallowed the medicine and then curled up against my body, "I love you" he whispered. "I love you too, feel better" I said kissing his forehead.
