No Because I've Been Sore For Days After Going Rollerskating So Thank You For This - Tumblr Posts

M4 With A Sore MC

Is this self-indulgent because my body is sore? Mayhaps. But let's be real your back probably hurts too

GN!reader, fluff

Felix

Have you seen the weird positions this gremlin sits in?

You come into the study that morning for your magic lesson rolling your shoulder, trying to work a kink out. You've been pulling late nights and all-nighters for the last two weeks in a row. Your fingertips are singed from practice and there's a steady pounding in the back of your skull. And you're tired.

But you have to learn.

Felix notices, of course. He asks if you're quite alright. You tell him you are but,, you aren't exactly convincing.

Felix snaps his book shut and grabs your hand, lightly tugging you onto the sofa. You poor thing. Magic is hard. Not everyone can be a prodigy like him :)

No but seriously lay down baby,,, he snuggles you up with blankets. If you have a headache you should drink a lot of water!! He also has some enchanted chamomile tea that helps with dehydration.

He insists on you putting a cool rag on your head.

Perches on the arm of the sofa. If you wiggle around enough you can put your head in his lap. He m e l t s

Please,,,, please,,,,,,,,, ask to read some of his fanfiction

He'll blush and splutter and whine but if you look up at him with those big eyes?? Pointing out that you're all sore and tired and hearing a story would make you feel better?????

He reads the fanfiction. He does voices. He's blushing and giggling the whole time but he does it for you.

You spend most of the day like that. He definitely has a few spells to help with your pain, but mostly what you need is rest.

Stella,, sitting on your stomach,,,, trying to help in her own little way

Just being in the study,,,,,,, it smells like old books and lavender,,,,,,,,,,,,, little like grape,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it's nice and cool and comfy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, he reads to you until you fall asleep,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, gives you a lil smooch,,,,,,,,,,, peace,,,,,

Anisa

She's a knight! She has an Official and Intensive™ training routine. She knows all about getting sore. Definitely has the most official approach to it!! Takes a day off to look after you.

Draws you a warm bath. Gets you a cool compress. Shows you how to stretch.

Definitely teaches you about some basic anatomy stuff in regards to exercise. Even if you zone out it's just nice hearing her voice.

Helps you move around if you need/want it. Definitely wants you to take it easy but also knows a bit of walking does a lot of good.

Consider,,, marketplace date. You guys sit on a bench underneath a weeping willow. Snacking on goodies from the nearby stalls.

A traveling band plays in the square. You can't dance but you can sway in time with the beat, bumping your shoulder against Anisa's.

She laughs, slipping an arm around your waist and humming along

You guys stay out there for the better part of the day. If you fall asleep then she princess-carries you back to her apartment

She,, tries,,, really hard,,,, to make your favorite snack. Is super excited about it. Gently wakes you up.

Somehow it's burnt and undercooked at the same time.

But she tried!! She tried so hard. And you love her for that.

But also I think if you eat it you get +75 poison damage so maybe you should discreetly nudge that into a plant or something

Sage

Y'know sex is a pretty good pain reliever wink wink

No but actually he's sympathetic. He's been a fighter all his life. Corruption might keep him from dying but it sure as hell doesn't stop the hurt.

He's seen how hard you work. In fact for the last week he's been pestering you to take it easy, skip training and come drink with him. And while he's obviously full of lame flirts and innuendos, he really is trying to help in his own Sage way.

But now you're all sore and worn down, muscles you didn't even know existed burning and yelling at you

Sage,, probably offers to make you the Astraea equivalent of a hot toddy but with extra alcohol. It's how he deals with his pain.

He also offers to give you a massage - no, not like that! Though he's tempted. But no, he means a legitimate muscle massage. No funny business.

I mean he can do a little funny business if you want that's entirely up to you

Once you're settled and feeling a little better, he cuddles you close and purrs. It's like being wrapped in a vibrating, heated, weighted blanket. Incredibly soothing.

Probably tells you stories about his old fighting days and the various ways he dealt with the ache afterwards. Tries to make you laugh, though not so much that it hurts you even more.

While he rolls his eyes and huffs on the surface, in reality he is at your complete beck and call. Even vaguely suggest you might possibly want something and he's already got it. Poor baby just wants you to feel better

And once you have recovered a bit, he definitely tries to keep you from overworking yourself again.

Rime

Everyone talks about Rime's healing powers in past tense. But I'd like to suggest that Redemption!Rime still has at least some of his magic.

So once he finds out you're sore, he's going full Nurse Mode™

He has ice magic? Instant ice pack. But he insists on cuddling you from behind. If you get flustered he jokes about your heart rate going up, oh, is he gonna have to do a full examination on you? Your pulse spiking like that isn't good :( and your cheeks are red do you have a fever? :((((

He's such a little shit he's trying not to laugh the whole time

It isn't his fault! Entirely!! You're cute when you're shy

But he does take good care of you. Keeps your mind off the pain by telling you old embarrassing stories. Asks you to tell him about how medicine works on Earth. Is there anything you want him to try that might help you?

Be prepared for a well-intentioned lecture about taking care of your body
