Sickie: Deku
Carers: Todo,Ocha
It was Christmas eve when he started feeling sick. He knew he should have told his partners, but it was the day before Christmas! He didn't want Ochako and Shouto to worry about him. This was their only week off of hero duties and he just had to go and get sick!
The first symptom of him being sick was getting a migraine. Keep in mind, he gets these all the time so this wasn’t a big indication of him getting sick.
✩｡:*•.───── Morning of Christmas eve ─────.•*:｡✩
Izuku was the last one awake, Shouto noticed. Now this wasn’t that uncommon as Izuku is not a morning person. But the thing he noticed that was odd was that Izuku slept in longer than he usually does. ‘Maybe he just has a migraine.’ He thought to himself, ‘I should go check on him. I’ll ask Ochako to grab a glass of water for him.’
As Shouto walks downstairs to ask Ochako, she’s already heading upstairs to wake Izuku. ‘Huh, she already has water.’
“Hey Shouto I’m going to go check on Izuku, he never sleeps in this long.”
“Alright, I’ll set up a movie downstairs?”
“Sounds good, Shouto.”
As Ochako walks into their bedroom she sees the lump of Izuku under the covers. ‘Aww he looks so tired.. I feel bad having to wake him.’ Ochako then sits down on the side of the bed leaning down and whispering into Izuku’s ear.
“Hey.. are you awake?”
All she receives is sleepy grumbles from the pile of blankets on the bed. She giggles softly, slowly peeling off the blankets from Izuku’s form.
“Uggh.. Ochako..”
“Hey sleepyhead” She whispers softly into his ear.
Izuku mumbles something soft and unintelligible, but from what she can make out he said he has a migraine.
“You want some meds and then sleep, or just sleep?”
“Just sleep..” He softly whispers.
“Alright if you need me or Shouto, we are gonna be watching a movie downstairs.” She whispers softly. All she receives in return are soft snores. She chuckles and starts making her way downstairs.
»»————- 4 hours later, 2:00 PM ————-««
As Izuku wakes up, the first fully conscious thought he has is this. ‘I feel like shit.’ His head is pounding and he feels freezing like he is inside a freezer, or out in the snow buck naked.
He only came up with one logical conclusion as to why he is feeling this way. He’s sick.
He’s gonna try damn hard to not let his partners know though. (Spoiler, he fails)
As Izuku walks downstairs with his favorite blanket around his shoulders, he starts feeling lightheaded and nauseous. ‘Shit..’ he thinks plopping down onto the couch. He closes his eyes for a brief moment as he feels the weight on either side of him dip.
“Good morning, or should I say afternoon?” Shouto says softly. Izuku peels his eyes open at his words, breathing softly as the nausea goes away.
“Morning Shouto, Ochako..” Izuku says quietly.
“Still have a headache? Need anything?” Ochako asks softly, not wanting to startle Izuku.
“No.. I just woke up and wanted to see your beautiful and handsome faces today. I also may or may not want cuddles..” Izuku says softly, blushing a little at the little confession.
“Oh? Is someone feeling a little shy today? You haven’t blushed when asking for cuddles for a long time.” Shouto teases Izuku.
Izuku blushes nodding softly, scooching closer to Shouto’s left side. Ochako sees this opportunity to squeeze onto Izuku's left side, frowning at the unnatural warmth that radiated off his skin.
“You sure you're feeling okay, Izuku? Ochako asks as Izuku shivers under her touch.
“I’m sure Ochako..” Izuku says, suddenly getting an intense wave of nausea. He reaches over for another blanket and swaddles himself into the warmth, ignoring the nausea as to not worry his partners.
By now Ochako was getting worried either way so she looked at his face and he looked very pale and uncomfortable.
“Izuku.. I’m going to grab the thermometer.” Ochako says getting up suddenly and runs up the stairs to grab the thermometer.
Shouto, hearing this conversation, looks down at Izuku and becomes very worried. He looked so pale and queasy, he looked like he was ready to hurl right then and there. So he made the executive decision to get up with Izuku and head to the bathroom.
Izuku is suddenly overcome with nausea and gags into his mouth. Shouto takes this as an initiative to move faster before everything from Izuku’s stomach decides to make itself known on their carpet. Shouto was just fast enough to make it in front of the toilet and then the dreaded sound of liquid on liquid was heard.
Ochako walked downstairs only to find that Izuku and Shouto weren’t there! But as she walked closer to the couch she heard the dreaded sound of liquid on liquid. She walked dreadingly into the bathroom that Izuku and Shouto were in.
Shouto looked up to find Ochako walking in as he held Izuku’s bangs out of his face. Ochako hands Shouto the thermometer and Shouto runs it across Izuku’s forehead. 103.4. It's a pretty high fever but Izuku will be okay. Izuku lays his head on the side of the toilet seat, exhausted.
“Izuku.. You should've told us you were feeling sick.” Shouto says lovingly, pressing a kiss on top of Izuku’s head.
“Didn’t ‘wan worry you..” Izuku says as his words start slurring together.
“But it’s our job to worry about you as our partner Izuku!” Ochako says worriedly.
“I-I know but..”
“No buts mister, you are gonna get all the affection this week!!” Ochako says and Shouto nods along.
“Now, is there anything we can get you? Do you need to be alone for a minute?” Shouto asks.
“Can we go back to the couch and watch a movie..?”
“Of course Izuku, you just have to ask!” Ochako says reassuringly. Izuku nods and picks himself up.
“I’ll come out in a sec, I just wanna brush my teeth real quick.”
“Alright see you in a sec Izuku.” Ochako says, walking out of the room.
Izuku then fully stands up to brush his teeth. He brushes his teeth then walks over and back to the couch. He sits down next to Ochako and falls asleep, leaning on her shoulder.
He wakes up a few hours later, disoriented and confused as to why he was awake. By now Ochako and Shouto have gone to bed and taken him with them. He soon realizes why he was woken up. He feels incredibly nauseous so he stands up and walks calmly to the bathroom to do what he needs to do.
He walks in and leans next to the toilet and his stomach clenches. Bringing up the rest of anything that had not been emptied out of him earlier. He then suddenly gets a cramp in his lower abdomen. ‘Oh shit,’ he thinks to himself as he flushes and gets situated on the toilet, preparing for what's going to happen next.
About an hour later he walks back into their bedroom and lays back down in bed. By now it's about 1:00 in the morning. He doesn’t wake until about 7 later that morning.
He walks downstairs looking very pale, he is also shaking as he sits down on the couch. Shouto takes notice that he is awake and walks over.
“Hey you alright? You look pretty pale, Izuku.”
“Yeah I’m alright, just tired and a little crampy.” Shouto cringes at that and hugs him.
“I’m sorry you have to deal with that.” Ochako walks in from their garage at that moment.
“Good morning sleepyhead, how did you sleep?”
“I slept fine I guess, I threw up once and had cramps all night.”
Ochako looks at him worriedly. “Awwh I’m sorry Izuku, I hope you will feel better soon.”
“Yeah, I hope so too..” Izuku suddenly gets a sharp cramp and stands up. He calmly walks into the bathroom and doesn;t come out for another 30 minutes.
Izuku walks out of the bathroom looking pale and uncomfortable. He sits down on the couch holding his stomach delicately.
“Shoutooo.. C’mere..”
Shouto walks over and hugs Izuku without a word.
“Can you rub my stomach? It's very upset and also I’m cold.” Izuku wines and hugs Shouto closer.
Shouto sighs fondly, “Of course Izuku, you just have to ask.” Shouto grabs a blanket to cover them both and then starts rubbing Izukus stomach with his left side.
Ochako walks back in the room and asks;
“Do you guys want to open presents now?”
“Sure,” both Shouto and Izuku reply.
“Here I'll hand you guys yours so you guys won't have to get up, you look comfy right there.” Ochako says softly, now wanting to aggravate the headache Izuku probably has.
“Okay,” Izuku replies, steadily getting more tired as time goes on.
After opening presents Ochako and Shouto take notice on how tired and sleepy Izuku is acting.
“Izuku?” Ochako asks.
“Yes?”
“Are you feeling tired?”
“Uhh.. yeah actually..” Izuku says softly.
“Take a nap,” Shouto says, wanting Izuku to get better as fast as possible.
“Alright..” Izuku whispers softly as his breaths even out and he falls asleep.
