Another Soul in The Multiverse (Sans Aus x Reader Oneshots/Scenarios)

Sick Day with Dreamy

(Because I actually had a fever before writing this :) )

(Also takes place in the same setting as the last, most might be, until I clarify otherwise)

Sorry if the end is a little anticlimactic, there's only so much I could do with this idea haha
________

Day 1:

You could already tell it was a shitty day when you felt the state of your throat and heard the sound of your cough. You weren't sure if you were sick, but something was definitely wrong.
You curled up in the little house that was typically occupied by Dream.
(see last chap to know what I'm talking about)
But it was also the one you stayed in a lot. And were alone in at times. This was one of those times.
You knew Ink was out, since he was almost always busy when you weren't. So you had to figure something. And as much as you didn't want to move, your throat was killing you and you had to do something about it.

You pulled yourself out of the bed, trudging into the kitchen for a glass of water. You coughed and spat some mucus into the sink with a slight cringe of disgust. Needless to say you felt like shit at the moment, and were most likely alone in this house.
As you were in a coughing fit, you heard a portal open.
"Hey, I- Oh! (Y/N)? Is that you?"
You looked over, realizing Dream was here all of a sudden.

"Dream? I didn't realize you were gonna be here today-" You sputtered, choking back another cough.
"Oh dear, you really sound out of it." He said, his expression contorting into concern as he approached you. "Do you need anything?" He asked.
"I was trying to get some water." You mentioned. He nodded and got you a tall glass of water before helping you back to your room.

"Originally I was looking for something, but clearly you need me. So I'll be staying." Dream said with a smile. You smiled back slightly before letting out another pained cough.
Dream laid you down on the bed, getting you situated and everything.
"I'm going to find a thermometer, and then we'll figure out what medicine you'll need, alright?" He planned. You smiled and nodded, letting him head off as you curled up in the bed.

Soon Dream got back and checked your temperature, turned out to be a fever and headed off for medicine.
You cuddled into the blanket as you waited for him. You enjoyed being cared for like this. Especially by a sweetheart like Dream. You smiled to yourself, he was so attentive, it warmed your heart. And made this shitty day just a little brighter.
Soon Dream got your medicine as well, helped you up to take it and you were set for the day.

"Chances are this might last a few days, most colds and fevers last 3 days on average." Dream said after sitting on the bedside. "But, I'll be here for you the whole time." He smiled. "Thank you, Dream." You said.
"Oh! And here," He set a small trash can beside the bed. "Just in case." He said, giving you a slight nudge. You knew what he was talking about without him having to actually speak of it.

"Thanks, Dreamy." You smiled. He giggled slightly, seeming to blush at the nickname.
"Hehe, anytime. Now get some rest."

Day 2:

You woke up around 3 or 4 needing to vomit. That sucked. You were able to get it into the trash can, but ultimately decided to head to the bathroom to finish up. Your little fit ended with a faceful of tears and sweat as your insides contracted painfully.

You ran downstairs to where Dream was in a different bedroom. He told you to come to him when any new symptoms arose so he could get the right medicine. You gently shook him awake. The skeleton's golden eyes opened and met yours.

"Hmm?" He hummed out groggily.
"I uh, threw up finally." You stated. He shook his head a little as if to wake himself up more.
I'm sorry dear!" He whispered out. "I'll find something for you, meanwhile you get some water." He said, getting up from the bed. You went to the kitchen as he went a different way you weren't paying attention to, as you headed for the sink.

You got some water in a tall glass, sipping it down with a sigh. Dream sprinted into the room soon after. "Here." He said, pouring some medicine into a small cup before handing it to you. You took it quickly and thanked him.
Dream soon helped you back to your room, settling you back into bed. He took your trash can and emptied it, returning with it freshly lined and placed it back beside your bed.

"Thank you." You said with a smile.
"Oh it's no problem." Dream said, slightly tucking you in, making you giggle. "I'm here to help you whenever you need, (Y/N)." He said with a warm smile.

Later on in the day, your fever had gotten worse than yesterday. The coughing was worse, you were sniffling more and your insides were aching for whatever reason.
You spent most of the day in bed as Dream came and went, ultimately staying in the house, but having to grab stuff from other rooms and such. It was a more miserable day, but also showed you how much Dream cared about you.

Day 3:

You woke up with the world unsteady beneath your feet. You felt dizzy and had to reach and grab for walls to take your first trip to the bathroom.
Dream had found you half way back to your room before helping you back into bed like he had been doing. Stars, what did you do to deserve him. The golden guardian watched over you so well in a time of need.

This time though, he curled up next to you in the bed.
"Oh, don't you have stuff to do still?" You asked. Dream chuckled. "Don't worry about it." He said. "With your current state, you probably won't be able to get out of bed for very long, so I'll stay by your side." Dream explained, snuggling next to you.
You smiled and snuggled back, enjoying his company like this.
"Thank you so much, Dreamy." You giggled. "I know I've said it a lot, but really, you've done so much."

Dream smiled brightly, pulling you close to him. "Anything for my favorite human after all." He giggled.
"Wait, really?" You asked.
"Well yeah. Not just any human can end up in a place like this, you're special and even without the whole, universe hopping thing, you're still so unique and amazing." He said with a warm smile.
You looked away as you felt a warm fuzziness fill your face, chest and tummy. Making Dream laugh giddily at what he'd accomplished.

You could tell that he knew you were spoilt by the praise and ever so slightly swooning since he could sense emotions. And that made it just that tiny bit more embarrassing and worthy of being flustered.

You spent the rest of the day still trying to get better, eating foods you deemed inoffensive on the stomach, drinking plenty of water, and spending time with Dream.
You couldn't ask for a better caretaker for something like this.

Day 4:

You were able to get out of bed with ease again. And your temperature had gone down plenty, though your coughs and sniffles still lingered. Dream continued to help you with those symptoms even though you tried to convince him you were alright enough now.

Not that you didn't enjoy his help, you just didn't want to drag him away from his life too much. And of course, Dream was stubborn with you. It was cute honestly, his stubbornness being so well meaning it was kind of funny.

"So any complaints or things still bothering you?" He asked as he prepared you a nutritious lunch to help keep your fever from coming back.
"My stomach muscles hurt from coughing so much." You mentioned. You'd noticed when you stretched this morning how strained your abdomen was.

"Oh dear, that should just pass eventually. But I can see how that's inconvenient." He said. You nodded as he placed your food on the table in front of you. "Throat okay? Or still a bit sore?" He questioned.
"Still sore." You responded.
"Ah. Well, here." Dream sat down across from you letting you eat. "I suppose just keep hydrating, it'll pass as well."

While you were eating, Dream got a phone call. He left the room so he could take it and not bother you and just in case it was something important.
He soon came back with a soft chuckle.

"Who was it?" You asked curiously.
"Oh, just Ink. Wondering where I've been. I only just realized I haven't at all told him I was here with you." He laughed.
You snickered softly as well.

"But, I did tell him. And he wishes you well and is glad you're better." Dream said, walking over to you.
"And I'm glad you're better too," He said, pushing your hair out of the way gently and kissing your forehead.

You blushed lightly.
"Yeah, thank you, Dreamy. I love you." You grinned up at him.

"Anything for my favorite human ♡"
