when you get sick

Yoongi regretted running home in the rain. It got him severely depressed, and it also got him a cold. Yoongi always got sick whenever he went out in rain, and that's one of the main reasons he avoided it, aside from the fact he usually got severely depressed.

Why? Because of that one tornado that destroyed his house when he was little. Tornadoes aren't common at all, but of course the one tornado to happen pretty much ever, went through his town and his home.

That's why he's terrified of storms. And he wasn't planning on telling anyone that anytime soon. He could always just say, 'oh, the rain just makes it harder for me to go out, y'know?' if someone asked why he always failed to meet up with someone if it rained.

PTSD sucked.

Not to mention the twitching, which is just his body's stupid way of coping, apparently. However, it definitely isn't as bad as it used to be. He isn't scared of clouds anymore, and he doesn't shut down whenever it rains or storms. Yoongi copes. That's it. (He has gladly noticed that it has frequently been getting better over the years, but it's still there.)

Yoongi didn't leave his house until Wednesday except for walking the dog. Thankfully, he didn't have to have any human interaction during that time. He did get quite a lot of work done on his music, though.

Yoongi's cold, however, failed to leave him until Wednesday and did the opposite of what he wanted. It got worse. His nose was red and stuffed, his eyes were puffy, his body ached, and he had a pounding headache. So what did he do?

He went and got coffee while his sickness was at its peak. Yoongi failed to notice his oncoming fever, but coffee was going to make everything better.

(It didn't.)

So when Yoongi arrived and got to ordering his drink, Sooyoung stated the obvious, "You look like you died. Or are dead. I know I can't stop you from coming, but you could be a little more mindful of your health."

Yoongi ignored her. He knew he wasn't helping himself in any way by getting coffee, but was a habit. Yoongi just waited for Hoseok to freak out since apparently people love to care about him.

Hoseok did freak out when he saw Yoongi slowly dying by himself at a table. "Yoongi..." he started. Before he could say more, Yoongi glared his worst at him and Hoseok quickly changed what he was going to say. "You, uh, forgot your umbrella. I brought it because I thought you'd be here... so, uh, yeah." Hoseok awkwardly took a seat across from Yoongi and placed the umbrella on the table.

Yoongi stared at his poor umbrella for a few long seconds before croaking out, "Thanks." Yoongi regretted his decision to speak because he sounded very cringy.

Hoseok laughed. "Oh my God, you sound like Spongebob." He kept on laughing and Yoongi could tell he was tying not to laugh, but failing horribly.

"Shut up, Hobi."

Hoseok tried responding but kept on laughing. After a moment of calming down, he finally replied, "Sorry..."

To keep himself from laughing Hoseok just sipped on his coffee while Yoongi sipped on his. He was judging Hoseok so much right now.

Did trust fund kids not get sick? Probably not. However, Yoongi was ready to do everything in his power to see if that theory was true or not.

His mission today was to get Hoseok sick.

So every chance he got he didn't cover up his sneeze, he grabbed Hoseok's cup whenever he could, and overall tried to just contaminate Hoseok and his stuff. (He wondered if drinking your friend's coffee was considered good manners or not, because if so, he has really bad manners.)

That is, until Hobi started catching on. "Yoongi, what are you doing? Are you trying to get me sick?"

Yoongi feigned innocence. "Why would I do that?" He blinked a few times for extra effect.

"Huh? Oh, uh, I don't know..."

Yoongi nodded to himself, silently agreeing with Hoseok's words for a moment. "Then don't worry about it."

The rest of their time at Starbucks proved to be a back-and-forth manner of Hoseok questioning Yoongi on his motives and Yoongi giving nothing away.

Until, of course, Yoongi suddenly felt like death (more than he was, at least). His headache got worse, his joints ached even more and he's pretty sure he just obtained a very high fever.

Hoseok had noticed this and leaned forward in hopes of getting to see if Yoongi had a fever via forehead. But, since Yoongi was sick and his mind was all over the place, he thought Hoseok was doing something completely different and asked, "Wait, are you trying to kiss me? Because then I'm pretty sure you'll get sick without my previous efforts."

Yoongi forgot he was keeping his efforts a secret. Hoseok stopped a few inches away from his face with a confused look. Suffice to say, it was awkwardly silent and tense for a good thirty seconds until Hoseok spoke up.

"Do you want me to kiss you? I won't, but I'm just curious. And hold on, you were trying to get me sick? I'm offended. And hurt." Hoseok dramatically sat back down in chair. "And I thought we were friends."

Yoongi totally ignored the question about kissing. Not today. (song ref AGAIN) Instead, he raised an eyebrow. "Friends? Well, if we are friends, then we should suffer together. And yeah, I was trying to get you sick since I believe you can't get sick." Ugh, Yoongi's voice was getting progressively more sick sounding.

Hoseok was silent for a moment before asking a very simple question. "Why?"

Yoongi shrugged and finished off his coffee. The two of them both glanced at the clock and realized it was their time to leave. They looked at each other and had a silent conversation that might've been 'this isn't over' or 'I'll see you Friday.'

Yoongi decided to go with the latter as he exited the shop and stumbled home, just now remembering that he was terribly sick. He also decided to throw the umbrella out as soon as he could.

He hated rain.

A/N:
I hope that cleared some things up! Yoongi's PTSD isn't going to be the main focus of the story, as this isn't angst, it's fluff. But it will open some doors for more fluff! Don't think too much.  (I'm trying my best!)
