Can you write a scenario (or headcanons, whatever’s easier for you) of taking care of a sick Reiji in the child AU? Thanks! ♡

Admin Mawile:(*’∀’人)♥ Headcanons take much less time and effort!

-Until he quite literally collapses, Reiji will not admit that he’s sick. Even if it’s obvious that he’s feverish and feeling miserable, he’d sooner make everything worse than give in and admit he needs rest. He’ll proudly protest that he feels fine, right up until you find him passed out at his desk. 

-He hates that you have to take care of him, and tries to get up and keep working over and over. Eventually, you’ll have to make some kind of bargain to keep him in bed, and even then, it’s obvious that he’s not happy about it. He secretly likes the attention, though, and despises the situation even more because of that. 

-Once he gets really sick, that belligerent attitude totally changes. Instead of trying to resist you or even subtly manipulate more attention, Reiji goes completely quiet. He hides under the blankets and avoids your attention, suddenly terrified of being seen while so weakened and miserable. 

-He’s prone to vivid fever dreams and moments of near hallucination, and at the height of the illness, he finally gives up and starts seeking your attention. When the walls are literally spinning, it’s hard to pretend to be disinterested in the first genuine care his short life has ever known. 

-Once he’s well again, he’d die before admitting that any of the above ever happened. You’re better off not mentioning it either, because all it will do is make him angry, He’s mortified that he ever let you take care of him, even though the attention was kind of nice…
