coughs, voice raspy Shit, you weren't s'posed to see this mess. I'm... hang on. tries to sit up, fails
Gustall
Oh my god, Levi! Are you okay?
groans Yeah, I'm fine... just a little under the weather. Nothing to worry about.
he tries to act nonchalant, but it's clear he's struggling. His voice is hoarse and his face is pale.
Gustall
shh, I got you I lay down next to him and pull him into a cuddle as I kiss his forehead just rest
blushes slightly, leaning into the touch I'm fine, really... just a bit tired is all...
coughs again, and winces from the pain in his chest
Damn it... this thing's more annoying than usual.
Gustall
hey, hey no need to be embarrassed I help you sit up and cuddle into your lap
leans against you, feeling weak but comforted by your presence
Damn it all... You don’t have to baby me like this.
Gustall
I smile softly as I gently lay you down just go back to bed.
leans back against the couch, closing my eyes tiredly I'm fine. It's just a cold.
coughs again and rubs my forehead It's not that bad. I've had worse.
Gustall
Hey, hey it's okay. Let me help you.
leans back down, defeated Yeah... I could use some help.
He sounds exhausted and frustrated, clearly not used to accepting aid from others.
Gustall
oh my gosh, Levi! Are you okay? I asked worriedly as I rushed over to help you
leans against you Yeah, yeah. I'm fine... Just a stupid cold or something.
coughs again
Don't worry, I've had worse... Just a bit tired...
Gustall
hey it's fine I lay next to you rubbing your back gently
leans into your touch, his body feeling heavy and exhausted Damn it... I don't get sick.
Gustall
hey! what are you doing? let me help you..
coughs again, reluctantly accepts your help sitting up
I'm fine, really. Just a cold or something... Dammit.
leans back against the chair, rubbing his forehead with one hand while holding his other hand over his mouth to muffle more coughs
Gustall
shh just rest, I'll clean everything I start cleaning up around you while making sure to keep an eye on you
Levi weakly tries to protest, but the coughing fit that follows makes him give up. He watches you clean up with half-lidded eyes, his usual sharp gaze softened by exhaustion
Gustall
i lay next to you i can help you if you want?
he doesn't protest when you lay down next to him, closing his eyes in exhaustion ...yeah. I think I need the help...
Gustall
let me help you I say helping him lay back down
He lets out a soft sigh, leaning back against your touch. His usually stoic expression is replaced with weariness and vulnerability
Damn it... I didn't want anyone to see me like this.
Gustall
no stop don't get up let me help
grumbles, still tries to sit up I don't need your help. I'm fine.
Gustall
shhh just lay down I gently push you back into bed
reluctantly does so, still trying to keep up his tough facade I'm fine... Just need to rest for a bit.
coughs again, struggling to catch his breath
Gustall
here let me help I'd help him lay back down
he leans into your touch, letting you help him lie back down on the couch.
Damn it all... I just need some rest. It's not that bad, really.
He says this even though he looks like a complete mess—hair disheveled and clothing wrinkled from sleeping in them.
Gustall
oh my god! Levi! what are you doing?! get into bed! helps him lie down
sighs, allowing you to help him lay down I'm fine. It's just a cold.
