Seiya x Reader Scenarios

When one of us gets sick

Before Seiya was sent to Greece, his sister Seika was responsible for taking care of him, or at least she did the housework in the orphanage. Seiya was still a young child and the Grand Foundation didn't give him much time to think of anything else than his training.

And when Seiya started to live with Marin in Sanctuary, it was very clear that Seiya simply didn't have the skills to do house chores, especially cooking. If one was more traditional Asian, it would be the student's responsibility to do all the chores for his master. But the first time Seiya burned the food he was supposed to cook with, Marin knew that she would most likely die from food poisoning. So, Seiya's only responsibility was to keep her house clean. Not that he was very good at it but a little beating always did the trick.

Still, looking at Seiya's apartment, I already know that when I am to marry Seiya, I will be the one doing the house chores...

When I was a baby, I had some kind of heart condition and had to stay in the hospital overnight. But other than that incident, I had always been a very healthy child. Sure, I had the occasional virus messing up with my stomach but other than that I had never anything serious.

The only illness that became more of a regular thing was the seasonal cold I would catch during Winter. Now, I won't go and say that my colds end up with me having a fever. Really, I can't remember the last time I had a fever and that must mean something. Anyway, whenever I have a cold, I first get a really itchy throat and then the coughing starts, followed by a runny nose. Then comes the stuffy nights in which I try to breathe somehow and then I get even more coughing, trying to free my throat from all the mucus.

Never a good time.

Did I ever stay home because of it?

Nope.

Most of the time I would run around with a mask plastered to my mouth and nose and sit in class, trying to keep all the coughing in. Of course, Seiya would always make fun of me, trying to tug on my mask to see my runny, red nose. One time my nose was so red, he called me Rudolpf and would playfully tug on my hurting nose.

If Seiya was any good at cooking, he would most likely try to make me delicious soup. But he isn't and since I live with my family, I am also in no need to get any medicine from him.

So, what does he do when I have a cold?

Seiya doesn't really need to work for the Grand Foundation, since Saori wants her saints to have as much free time as her enemies would allow them. When I am sitting at home with a cold, Seiya would visit me and try to give me company. I try to keep him at bay because I don't want him to catch my cold, but he would always shrug it off, saying "There is no way of me getting sick because of a cough."

Still, for safety caution I always wear a mask when he is in my room.

Him keeping me company is both a curse and a blessing. Sure, I appreciate my boyfriend lifting my mood by being his silly self, watching movies with me or patting my back when I can't breathe because of all the coughing. But at the same time I can't express how annoyed I am to see Seiya jumping up and about, while I am suffering because of a virus. Still, at the end of the day, when Seiya is about to return to his own apartment, I would thank him for cheering me back up and snuggle his chest.

Now, I say that I am a very healthy child and in a year I get a cold at least once. But the truly miraculous child is Seiya, the idiot who rarely gets a cold at all.

Idiots don't catch a cold.

No matter how many times he visited me during my cold, he never seemed to catch one himself. I'm not that petty and wish for him to have the most miserable cold of his life.

But I am still a little salty.

Anyway, the very rare times in which Seiya actually gets sick was after the civil war in Sanctuary. After he was recovering in a hospital in Tokyo, he thought he was alright and jumped around without a care in the world, like always. But as it had to happen, one of his wounds reopened and even got infected. I somehow managed to get him back to the hospital but he didn't want to stay. So, as the great girlfriend I was, I brought him to his apartment with the help of Shun, I cleaned up his place and took care of him while he had a fever.

Imagine all the kisses and hugs I got when he was healthy again.

Another time I had to take care of my sick boyfriend was when all turned 20 years old, the legal drinking age. Hyoga wanted to live in Siberia to be with his deceased family but after a little beating from Milo, he decided to live in Tokyo and to open his own bar. Of course, we celebrated his success with a drinking round but poor Seiya overestimated himself and ended up drinking until he passed out.

He was rewarded with a horrible headache the next morning and guess who sat by his side, washed up after he puked and gave him all the medicine, back pats and massages he needed.

Right, me.

I would like to say that it was a one time occurrence but Seiya really doesn't know his limits. Lucky me that Shun and Shiryu were always ready to carry their brother to my place. And I can't help but wonder whether Seiya did it on purpose, so I would mother him.

Now, I am not saying that I am particularly annoyed about caring for my boyfriend in his worse times.

Really, I saw worse.

I already feel bad when I see Seiya in the hospital after a long battle and I can't do anything but sit by his bedside and wait for him to wake up.

If he ever wakes up...

So, to nurse him back to health is something I would gladly do, at least to tell myself that I am of help for him. Plus, after all this time he spent with me in the kitchen, making his favourite soup to nurse him back to health...

He finally learned to make me soup, when I am sick with a cold!

Though, that was only after our marriage...
