This was a request by: zamppaz, basically Rain gets sick but wants to play through a ritual, and they all help him get better after he exerted his energy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This morning, Rain woke up feeling off. He got out of bed and went to the nurse office and they took his temperature, and it was 39°c which is high. He decided to go swimming because water can heal a water ghoul, but it didn't work.
Once the rest of the band found out, they instantly made him go to bed and relax. "We're cancelling the ritual tonight. you're not fit enough to go out there." Papa said, "No, I'm fine, don't cancel it." Rain argued. All of the band members went back and forth about it for about half an hour, but eventually, they all gave into Rain.
Later on, he got out of bed and got changed. He started sneezing a lot but just hid a tissue under his sleeve to use when he was hidden behind Swiss' stage or something.
He put his mask on and then went out into the back stage part, and they all asked him again if he was okay, and he said yes.
They ritual started as usual. However, Rain was sneezing a lot and missed a few notes from his hands snaking when he sneezed. He tried his hardest to be his usual self, but he was getting sicker and was extremely tired.
Once the ritual was over, they all went to the front, and he was hanging around with everyone when he noticed black spots in his vision. He looked over to Swiss and walked over to him, and then he hugged him as a cover and then blacked out. Swiss carried him off stage and took him to a sofa, and went back out, and they all walked back in a few minutes earlier than usual.
When Rain woke up, he was in his bed on the tour bus. He shifted and noticed someone was next to him and turned and saw Swiss sat on his bed holding a cloth to his head. Rain reached up and grabbed the cloth from his (own) head, and then Swiss noticed he was awake. "You need to keep it on your burning up." He said, and Rain nodded. "Sorry." Rain said, "It's not your fault you're sick. We all probably would have done the same thing." Swiss replied, and then Rain nodded and fell back asleep.
When he woke up again, Sodo was next to him. "Hi." He said with a smile. "How are you doing, buddy?" Sodo said, "I feel like shit." Rain replied. "Can we get food?" Rain asked, and Sodo nodded. "Do you want to walk to that fast food place and get some fresh air?" Sodo asks, and Rain nods.
He sits up and feels a wave of dizziness wash over him and slightly falls into Sodo's side. "I'll go get the others and see who wants to come with us. You get ready, okay?" Sodo asks, and Rain nods. He quickly throws on a top and some sweats and then puts his shoes on and walks to the front of the bus. Everyone offers him a hug, and he accepts them, and then they set off.
Cumulus, being the mum of the group, felt Rain's head, and he was still very warm. "Take your jacket off so you cool down." She says, and Rian sighs and takes it off. "I'm cold, though." He says, "That's what your body is doing to make you feel not ill or something. You have to keep it off." She says, and then he agrees.
They get some food and then start walking back. "I don't feel good, I need to sit down." Rain says and then clings onto Sodo and passes out again. When he wakes up being carried by Swiss. "I can stand." He says, and then Swiss puts him down. "You're not in good shape. You need to go home. We will cancel the next few rituals and continue when you get better." Papa says, and Rain wants to protests but they don't let him. Swiss wraps his arm around him to make sure he stays up while they walk home.
When they get back to the bus, they eat, and then Rain falls asleep again. The next day, he is shaken awake by Papa. "You and Sodo are getting a flight back in 2 hours. You need to get ready." He says, and Rain agrees. They get ready and fly back and then get to the ministry.
He goes to his room, and Sodo trails behind him. He gets in bed, and then he makes grabby hands to Sodo and falls asleep, cuddling him. When he wakes up, he is still cuddling Sodo. He starts rubbing his cheek on Sodos chin and purring out of instinct, and Sodo woke up purring. "Good morning or afternoon." Sodo said and then started scenting Rain's chest. (Idk if that's what it's called, but apparently it is).
Sodo went and got him water and another cloth. He came back, and Rain downed the water and then laid in bed. He laid in the same position for the next four hours, not getting better. He had a runny nose, a temperature, a head ache, and he overall felt awful.
About 7 pm that night, all the other ghouls and Papa got home. They all went to his room to check up on him and give Sodo a break. They stayed with Rain and got him everything he needed and comforted him. They took it in turns over the next five days, and Rain's fever slowly went away, same with his cold. He got out of bed more and more every day until he was back to his usual self.
They quickly got back touring, and Rain was fine, and non of the others ghouls got his cold.
