Sickies/Littles: Hyunjin & Felix
Caregivers: Minho & Changbin
No one's POV.:
Felix had had a hard time sleeping lately. He figured the lack of sleep was also the reason of the headache persistently thumping behind his temples. That and the fact that he hadn't been in his headspace for weeks. It was obvious the stress was slowly getting to him and the members could tell. They weren't exactly sure what was causing it but their sunshine wasn't himself and they didn't know how to help. "So, our new schedules are up. Since we've been working nonstop lately, we'll have the next week off before starting up again on the following Monday", Chan announced, checking the schedule over on his phone. Wrapping his arm around Felix' shoulder, Changbin hummed: "Looks like you'll finally get some little-time again." The younger gave him a shy smile, a faint blush spreading across his freckled cheeks. The group knew about his headspace and occasionally took care of him when he slipped, so they were glad he'd get a chance to destress again after such a long time. "Should we have a playdate?", Hyunjin whispered, sneaking up behind Felix, "It's been a while...." – "Yeah but maybe not tomorrow", the Aussie mumbled, "I think even if I slip, I'll spend most of the day napping. I'm exhausted and my head hurts. It'll be more fun in a couple of days when we're better rested." The older nodded, he too had been dealing with a headache and really wanted to sleep in the following day.
With how wiped he was, Felix had been certain he'd be out the second his head hit the pillow but unfortunately, he wasn't so lucky. The members had watched him stumble from exhaustion on their way back to the dorm, so they granted him the first turn showering. Now, the Aussie found himself laying awake, staring at the ceiling while his dormmates had showered and fallen asleep. His head still hurt, growing fuzzier the longer sleep evaded him. Slipping into his headspace, Felix broke into tears. He didn't feel good and he had expected to feel better once he got to lay down and sleep but he couldn't. Grabbing his bokkari plushie, he clambered out of bed and almost tripped himself. His hyung would know how to help, right? Maybe if he was tucked in by one of his caregivers, he'd finally be able to fall asleep.
Minho yawned, propping himself up on his elbows when Felix climbed onto his legs. "Tan chu tuck me in, pwease?", the Aussie sniffled, rubbing his eyes with his fist. Sitting up fully, Minho carefully brushed his dongsaeng's tears away and whispered: "What's wrong, sunshine?" – "Tiwed", Felix whimpered, holding back more tears, "Can't sweep." The older gently ruffled his hair and smiled: "Do you want to stay with hyung or should I tuck you into your own bed?" – "Me stay?", the Aussie mumbled shyly. Pinching his cheek, Minho cooed: "If you want to, of course." Felix clumsily crawled under the blanket next to Minho and snuggled into the other's side. Wrapping the little in a hug, the older thought it'd be all good now but boy was he wrong.
After almost an hour of frequent kicks and getting elbowed between the ribs multiple times, Minho sat up and sighed. "Why're you so restless, baby?", he whispered, more to himself than to Felix. The younger gave a sleepy whine, hands fisted in the blanket. When Minho reached over and felt his dongsaeng's forehead, it finally dawned on him why the boy couldn't sleep. Cupping Felix' cheek, the caregiver cooed: "Are you feeling icky, sunshine? I think you're running a fever." The younger gave a pathetic nod. His head still hurt and he had thought his aches came from the lack of sleep but it might as well be the fever. "Alright, do you want hyung to make you a bottle? You can take some medicine, drink your milky and we'll see how we can get you comfortable enough to fall asleep", Minho hummed, pushing off the blanket. Seeing as Felix didn't want to stay back alone, the older placed him on his hip and carried him back to his room. While the little popped his pacifier between his lips, Minho retrieved the baby bottle and bundled his dongsaeng into his favorite blanket.
