charlie dalton

An absolute drama queen. He stays in bed most of the time, moaning and groaning for you to come and lay with him. You oblige, of course. Sleep is common with him, so much that his sleeping schedule becomes completely out of whack. He has odd sorts of requests and often puts on a show to get what he wants, whether it be a foot rub or you to comb your fingers through his hair until he falls into a feverish sleep.

knox overstreet

as a person, knox is very aware of his person. he can feel the slightest sickness in the air and does a pretty good job keeping it away so he doesn't have to miss any class, aka, get an angry phone call from his parents. but as cold season comes, he can't help but catch it. he tries to get ready in the mornings but end up feeling like a heap of shit by 8am and gets sent back. you visit him between classes and being his meals to him as he needs. at nights though, you help him get ready for bed as you do yourself, then later find Knox's fever-ridden forehead buried in your neck moments later when you two reside under the bedsheets.

neil perry

the "I'm not sick, I can go to school!" type. you practically have to fight him back into bed or pull him back up the stairs so he doesn't go to his classes. he hates being sick, he wants to be doing something at all times. what he does enjoy though is when you read to him. mister keating usually assigns nightly readings, and you often read to him when he's sick. sometimes you pull up a chair or sometimes you lay with him and try to ignore his sweating fever seeping through your clothes. seeing neil in such a calm and immobile state is an odd sight, but one you can enjoy.

todd anderson

straight up won't say anything to anyone about it, not even you. the boy would rather sweat through his school clothes in class than tell someone he doesn't feel well. he doesn't like making a scene or asking for attention, even though you tell him that sickness is none of those things. but when you tell him he needs to stay in and rest, he does. you'll find a way to stay with him as much as possible during the day, and he insists you should go to class. but you climb into bed with him and just brush his hair from his forehead as he talks to you about the things he thinks and writes of. cold medicine makes him loopy in general, so his small bursts of passion are usually odd and incomprehensible, but you make sure to write them down for a later date.

gerard pitts

he insists on taking care of himself in fear of getting you sick. he really insists. so you respect that and keep somewhat of a distance, checking up on him when you can, but sometimes you really can't help yourself because he's so miserable and you crawl right into bed next to him and squeeze his y'all frame tightly. he mumbles a rejection but you don't listen, but hold tighter. he doesn't reject after that, he nuzzles close.

steven meeks

he keeps busy when he is sick, despite your pleas to just stay in bed. he really likes to put all of his sheets and blankets around him like a cocoon and sit at his desk to work or read or just to smoke and look out the window. he doesn't like to feel helpless and you can respect that. so you sit next to him in another chair or on his bed and the two of you talk. when he is sick, or you, the chance to really talk about meaning and your thoughts arises. you both consider these times some of your best together. he also enjoys sitting up with you and stealing kisses at your cheek.
