Moomin one shots

Fever

In the early spring its common knowledge that allergies are flared like electromagnetic bursts from the sun. This is the time of year all hell breaks lose and you're immune system is fighting its hardest. That's what this short is about.

You currently lie in your bed, dreading having to get up for the day. 
"It's too early to be feeling like this.."
You mutter this to yourself before swinging your legs over the beds edge. It is about seven in the morning but your stomach demands to be emptied. Over to a can you keep in the study across the hall and out with what was inside. 
This had been going on for a couple days now. A stuffy head, sick tummy and occasional headache. You must have had a fever as even the rays of sun through the window couldn't warm you. 
Down in front of the fire place you rekindle the embers left to smolder. Once the fire is going you put on some left overs and heat them before wrapping up in a wool blanket. 
Soon, you thought, my friends should come to find me. As much as you did not want help you were sure to get it. As i on cue a knock comes on the side door before it creaks open. 
"Hello there Moomin."
Moomin comes all the way in and steps carefully to you.
"We haven't seen you in a few days. Are you well (Y/N)?"
You cough something fierce and manage to keep your gag in check before you are able to reply.
"Just got a little cold is all.. I will be fine soon."
He nods softly while he pulls up a chair. 
"Well We were going to visit the beach and we wanted to know if you would like to come?"
You pondered a moment then nodded. Perhaps the fresh sea air would help clear this up.

You manage to only cough on your way to the beach. Once there, all you can manage is sitting in the sand and miserably stare at the waves. 
"Are you sure it's just a cold (Y/N)?"
Little My stands in front of you holding a scallop shell nearly the size of her head. 
"Yeah i-"
Before you can finish you double over and barf what was left in your stomach and begin to heave in vain. Moomin, Snorkmaiden and My run to your side once hearing this. Snorkmaiden observes as she helps you to your feet.
"(Y/N).. It doesn't seem like just a cold.."
They guide you to Moomin house and help when you need to heave again. The trek feels like an hour despite it being less than  a fifteen minute walk. 
"Mamma may have something in her book to help you.."
With that Moomin left you and Snorkmaiden at the steps to fetch Moominmamma. She soon appeared at the doorway, dusting off her paws. After seeing you in such a state she led you to Moomins room.
"Here,"
She immediately fed you as much water as you could choke down at the moment and placed a paw on your forehead.
"This water may calm your stomach a little and my goodness are you burning up."
Outside the door you could hear her voice faintly instruct the others to gather what would become your medicine. 
"(Y/N)? We should have something to clear that up or you soon. Till then, please drink more water if you can and rest."
You must have been weaker than you thought as you spilled the water on yourself then fell asleep miserably in damp clothes.

When Moominmama woke you to feed you your medicine she helped get you into night clothes.
"It wont take but a week to get over this, din't you worry (Y/N)."
You nodded thankfully and let sleep take you over as soon as it would allow.
Whenever you were awake, all of your friends visited with weather updates or gifts of seashells. They did all they could to help and heal you.

Just as Moominmamma said, You were well enough to be on your feet within a week. You thanked everyone with some of your home made preserves. Its always good to have friends you can lean on and help in a bad time. None better friends than the Moomins!
