"I'm dying."

"I swear to god, Peter, you're not dying. You've died before! You've known death! This isn't it!"

Stiles wouldn't consider the way he, and the rest of humanity, deals with common colds particularly heroic, but it turns out he's a goddamn superstar. The fact he manages to stay clean, fed, and clothed while sick—with a minimum of bitching—puts him head and shoulders above a born wolf dealing with a mild case of the sniffles.

He mutters to himself while tossing more throw blankets into the dryer, because Peter has apparently never been cold in his life, and earlier he got the goddamn lip going over a "chilly quilt." Never mind the glistening eyes when he ran out of noodles in his chicken soup.

"Ugh, you're such a sucker, Stilinski."

Balancing warm and fluffy throws in one hand and a cup of chamomile SleepyTime™ tea in the other, Stiles makes his way back into Peter's bedroom, where the wolf has made a nest of sadness in the middle of the king-sized bed. He sets the tea on the nightstand, with Peter sniffling pathetically (he's seen these wolves shrug off broken bones, but a magically-inflicted head cold is a bridge too far???) propped up by a ridiculous number of pillows.

"Here, creeper. Drink your tea."

Peter eyes him while he sips at the tea, nose rosy and typically perfect hair mussed in all directions. He looks shiftily down at his cup for a while before speaking.

"I need body heat, I'm freezing in addition to dying."

Stiles huffs and rolls his eyes with his entire body, but still lifts the edge of the warm throw mound and crawls in.

"Don't think this means you always get to be the little spoon, you big ol' zombified baby."

I was chatting outside with my piano teacher after my lesson and took off my mask (I've been taking lessons for 18~ months, but the classrooms are poorly ventilated, frequently filled with adorable-but-contagious kids, and my immune system is like wet tissue paper) and he stopped mid-sentence and was like, "I've never seen your face. It took me off guard."

I laughed and he continued, "I mean, that came out wrong. It's not a bad face. You're beautiful."

And then face palmed and hightailed it back into the store.

Which like, 1/ thanks bud, compliments look good on me, and 2/ sorry man, this is absolutely going into a fic at some point.

Imagine what you could accomplish with the self-confidence of the man who walked by my home while I was in the garage and told me I wasn't charging the rechargeable battery on my electric lawnmower correctly. Who replied, after I asked if he'd had a problem with his, that he's never owned or used one before.

Hey I keep thinking about this question.

For further elaboration; you will be perfectly healthy without it, and face no complications relating specifically to that thing. You can still get exhausted from physical work and need to sit down and rest, but you won't have to be completely unconscious to recover. Likewise, your nutrients will stay balanced and you stay at your current weight, but you won't need any food. You can drink if you want, but its not needed if you don't eat.

And you absolutely CANNOT do what you choose ever again. no enjoying good food or enjoying a comfortable nap. Make your choice.

Reblog if you want it will be appreciated 👍
