Fluffy SKZ Oneshots EP.2🧸

Winter flu🌡️

Sickie: Seungmin

Caregivers: mainly Felix

No one’s POV.:

Glancing at the couch, Felix furrowed his brows. Him and Seungmin had spent the first half of the day decorating their shared apartment to help them get into the Christmas spirit. Not long after they were done, Seungmin had stretched out on the couch, not even interested in having lunch first. Felix had planned to bake cookies that afternoon, making the most of their day off, but now that his friend was sleeping in the living room, he didn’t want to wake the younger.

Felix grabbed a fluffy blanket from his room and carefully covered Seungmin with it, noting how the vocalist’s brows were drawn into a frown. He didn’t look comfortable but their couch had never been the best place to rest and he’d most likely end up sore later. Felix didn’t have the heart to wake him though, so he went to play computer games in his room to grant the other as much sleep as possible. He could still bake his cookies later.

When Seungmin woke up, his body was stiff and achy, making him groan as he sat up. He turned his head a few times and rolled his shoulders in an attempt to loosen up the tight muscles but it did little to help. All it did, was make his head pound and pressed the balls of his hands against his eyes. Gulping, Seungmin figured some water would help him get his bearings. He really shouldn’t have slept on the couch because now, he felt like he had been hit by a car, which was not how he had wanted his day off to go.

Sluggishly getting to his feet, Seungmin clutched the back of the couch and panted as his heart suddenly started to race. For some reason, he felt awfully shaky all of a sudden. Water would surely make it better, right? Dragging his achy body to the kitchen, Seungmin poured himself a glass of water and almost dropped it from how badly his hands were trembling. He ended up spilling some onto himself, barely noticing it though.

“Felix?!”, Seungmin yelled, suddenly feeling lightheaded. He set the glass down and clutched the counter for support. Sliding down with his back against the kitchen cabinets, Seungmin prayed the other wasn’t wearing his headphones as he felt his consciousness slipping away. Though Felix had his headphones on, he did hear his friend’s call and rushed to the living room. It took a moment for him to find the vocalist slumped on the floor in the kitchen. Rushing over, Felix crouched next to Seungmin and gasped: “Hey, hey, you with me?” – “F-feel faint…”, the younger slurred, weakly holding his head in his hands.

“Okay, alright… lay down”, Felix rambled, helping Seungmin ease himself into a flat position, “Deep breaths.” The Aussie ran a kitchen towel under cold water and draped it across the other’s forehead. Squeezing Seungmin’s shoulder, Felix hummed: “Talk to me. Gotta know you’re still with me. What happened?” – “Dunno”, the vocalist breathed, fidgeting his hands, “’s getting better. Jus’ -jus’ don’ feel good. Gosh, my head.” – “You’re burning up”, Felix frowned as he pressed the backs of his fingers against Seungmin’s pale cheek.

When Seungmin felt a little better, Felix helped him sit back up and handed him his glass, steadying his hand so he could drink a few sips. Rubbing the vocalist’s back, Felix hummed: “Were you already feeling bad earlier or did this come out of nowhere?” Clearing his throat, Seungmin rasped: “I felt a bit off but when I woke up, everything hurt. ‘m jus’ so out of sorts.” – “That sounds like the flu to me”, the older frowned, “Do you have any other symptoms?” – “Throat”, Seungmin whispered as he handed the glass back.

With Felix’ help, Seungmin managed to get back to the couch and weakly collapsed into the cushions. Shivering, he pulled the fluffy blanket around his shoulders and sniffled: “This sucks, we only just got a day off.” – “Better now than be sick on Christmas”, Felix argued, trying to look on the bright side, “You look chilled. Want me to make some hot chocolate?” – “Don’t feel like I could stomach it right now”, the younger pouted as he curled up on the couch.
