the bears-t [tadokoro jin x sick!gn!reader]

    One of the innumerable joys of dating the accurately nicknamed 'bear' of Sohouku was that, when cuddled in conjunction with a comfy blanket, he was the most comforting person you could have at your side. He was warm, and his arms felt like the security you had pined for for so long.

    The seasons were changing once again, and it felt like every year that change came on quicker than the last. Your body was finding it harder each time to cope with the sudden change in temperature, meaning that for the umpteenth time in all the years you'd known him, Jin was comforting you through your annual illness. Only this time, as a partner.

    "You okay, [name]? You sure you don't, uh, you don't need anything else?" he asks, nuzzling his chin on the top of your head, drawing you closer to him with total disregard for his own question.

    "Mmh, 'm sure. So cooooomfy, Jin. You sure you're not gonna get sick from being so close to the diseased?"

    "Pfft," he scoffs, "please. I've been looking after you at this time every year since we were 7. I’m not called the human bullet for nothing, you know. My immune system is just as impenetrable as a bullet casing,” he boasts. “You snuggle as much as you need, [name]."

    "Mmm, Jin's so embarrassing today," you mutter into his chest.

    "Sh-shut up and rest, you sickly thing. I have to get back to practice sometime this week, can't do that with you snivelling all over me."

    "So mean. Love you more for it, tho'. Love you a lot, thank you for caring for me."

    He flushes and sputters at your sudden words, and turns his head away from yours, even though your face hasn't moved from its position in his chest.

    "L-love you too."

    He turns back slowly only to hear the soft sounds of your sleeping, quiet but raspy breaths, even and reassuring. He smiles down at you, pressing a kiss to the crown of your head.

    "Yeah, [name]. Love you a lot."
