Fever - SemiShira

Sick person : Shirabu
Caretaker : Semi

(Shirabu has a high fever and feels dizzy but Semi takes care of him)

3rd person POV

Semi has an arm under and wrapped around Shirabu, who is laying on his chest, hand placed precariously on his man boob. It's lovely, they're both sound asleep, the only noises being their laboured breathing.

It's a Saturday afternoon and they're napping together in bed, the day started pretty slow so both of them thought a nap would serve them well. They both have been working super hard lately too.

Semi—the lighter sleeper over the two doses awake when he hears strange noises, much different from their breathing. Semi blinks when he hears it again and notices it's coming from Shirabu. He's whimpering in his sleep, very unusual for the strong-witted blonde.

Semi takes a closer look at his husband, his hair is sticking to his forehead and he suddenly feels like a furnace against him rather than a comforting feeling. Semi gently moves the hair on his forehead out of the way to feel for a fever.

Sure enough, his hand meets unnatural heat, no doubt a fever, and a bad one at that. Semi's eyebrows pull together, Shirabu must've caught something or it could be a stress-related illness. Semi hopes it's not the latter.

"Shira, babe. Wake up." Semi gently uses the arm wrapped around Shirabu to wake him up with calming touches. Shirabu whimpers like he's in pain and Semi stops imidiantly. "Shira? What's wrong love?" Semi asks when the shorter's eyes flutter open.

Shirabu's body shivers with a chill and he buries his head into Semi, his whole body aches, his head hurts and he feels like his brain is swimming inside his skull, dizziness blurring his vision. "Semi..." Shirabu whines, "Yes Shira?" Semi brushes through his damp hair.

"I don't feel well... I think I'm sick." Shirabu struggles, but he manages to get the sentence out. "I can tell Shira, you're so warm. Is there anything else apart from your fever?" Semi uses his index finger to lift Shirabu's chin, keeping eye contact. "Mhm, I feel super achy, my head hurts and it feels like everything is swimming.." Shirabu wants to cover his eyes at the mention.

Semi frowns, looks like this sickness isn't going easy on Shirabu. "Stay here I should grab a thermometer and medicine." Semi starts to move but it results in a long whine from Shirabu. "I'll be quick, I promise." With that Semi is let go and ventures to grab things for Shirabu.

Coming back with water, medicine and a thermometer Semi sees Shirabu in a similar state as before, still awake and uncomfortable. "Have some water Shira, and take these, they should help with the fever and headache." Semi sets down the water and medicine before helping Shirabu sit up in bed.

Shirabu squints at the minimal light coming through their bedroom window and the change in orientation makes him even dizzier. He feels his shirt sticking to his back which is patchy with sweat, gross. Semi watches in worry when Shirabu takes the medicine, he's never usually super quick to admit to illness.

"Let's have a shower Shira, you'll feel better after and it might help your fever, " Semi suggests, seeing how disheveled and sweaty Shirabu looks. Shirabu hates the thought of standing that long, he's a little scared even given how light-headed he is sitting up.

"It'll be a quick one, promise." Semi encourages and Shirabu doesn't have the place to say no. When Semi receives a noise of confirmation he helps Shira stand up from bed, taking his hand and placing a palm on his back. Shirabu's suspicions were correct, after the journey to the bathroom he has to sit on the closed-lid toilet otherwise he'd fall right then and there.

The world feels like it's on a 45° tilt and Shirabu hates it. Semi turns on the shower, getting it to the precise temperature for Shirabu. Semi doesn't miss the controlled breathing before Shirabu starts to strip off his clothes. Let alone the way Shira clings onto Semi when they're actually in the shower.

The water feels nice—really nice actually but the motions of washing himself and his hair have Shirabu so lightheaded and dizzy, he feels like crying. "S-Semi.." Shirabu says with a hint of urgency in his voice. "Yes Shira, what's wrong?" Semi already felt this coming, he hopes it's not too bad.

"I'm really dizzy... it feels l-like I might pass out," Shirabu says quietly, hazy eyes blinking up at Semi. Now that's concerning. "Oh Shira, come on let's wrap you in a towel and have you sitting down." Semi moves fast but carefully as he helps Shirabu step out of the shower.

Semi wraps a towel around Shirabu's waist and sets him down on the closed toilet lid, getting himself a towel afterward. Shirabu is still seeing stars and can't help but feel tingly in his fingers. He tries to blink and concentrate on his husband. Semi watches in concern, "Breathe love," Semi rubs Shirabu's arm as he visibly sways.

Semi half expects it but is still surprised when Shirabu lulls to the side and his eyes close. With quick reflexes, Semi catches Shira before he hits something. "Shit." Semi curses just as Shirabu starts to gain consciousness, only a quick one, phew.

"There you are, you just fainted not long ago." Semi smiles at Shirabu, who is rightfully confused, noting that he feels like shit. "You're probably tired, Shira, feel okay to stand up?" Semi holds Shirabu's hand, squeezing gently. Shirabu nods.

"Okay, let's go back to the bedroom and I'll get you some clothes." Semi guides Shirabu, who thankfully doesn't pass out again and makes it safely to the edge of the bed while Semi digs for some pyjamas. He settles for a loose, patterned pyjama set.

Once they're both dressed, Semi watches as Shirabu's eyes fall closed while he dries his hair, worry pops into his mind for a second that he'll faint again but Shirabu reassures him by holding onto Semi's clothes. "Okay Shira, let's lay down, you need rest so your fever lowers." Semi gives him a little peck on the forehead to wake him up more.

"Okay, Semi." Came Shirabu's tired response, he still feels the jackhammer in his head and chills running down his body, dizziness has gone down but he's in no shape to be up and about that's for sure. Semi pulls back the covers for them both to get in, Shirabu practically landed on Semi's chest once again.

Semi did a last quick fever check—still feels as high as before. Semi sighs, he could get a fever strip to put on his forehead but the way Shirabu is clinging to him. He doubts he'll be able to get up without his feisty husband dragging him back. "You're lucky you're cute." Semi laughs.

"Hm..?"

"Nothing, sleep well Shira."
