Wickoff -- Established Relationship / Fluffy Sickfic

FILL - Wickoff -- Established Relationship / Fluffy Sickfic
Date: 2021-06-21 05:32 pm (UTC)Her nose is running again, fuck - Kady sniffs hard, ignores the gross wet trickly feeling the same way she’s ignoring the pounding headache and lightheadedness and how her whole face feels encased in cement, and stares down at the clay bowl in front of her. She’s been trying to finish the vision enhancement enchantment on this stupid fucking herbal concoction for three days now, which requires a shit-ton of very specifically timed chanting and candle-burning, and she’s not stopping now, no matter what certain (pushy, overprotective, pain-in-the-ass) people might think about it.
The pointy corner of the box of tissues rams itself into the side of her leg again.
“Fucking quit it,” Kady says, checks the time on her phone again. Six more minutes, then light the white candle in the north-east corner of the small chalk sigil she’d scribbled onto the piece of newspaper she’d spread across the floor for easier clean-up, because sometimes magic is intense and sexy and mysterious, and sometimes it has weird similarities to paper-maché school projects.
“Tissues,” Julia says, from where she’s sitting cross-legged on the floor next to her, and shoves the tissue box into Kady’s leg for the six-bijillionth time today.
“I’m fine.”
“Babe, I say this with the greatest possible love, but you’ve got snot on your face.”
Kady gives Julia the finger, checks the time on the phone, and then sniffs again, harder, making a loud horking sound.
“Sexy,” Julia says.
“Fuck off,” Kady says. “I need to finish this.”
“Oh wow, if only there were another magician in this apartment who could complete this for you, someone who’s not running a fever and dripping fluids from her face -”
“I’m fine, I can do this,” Kady says. “I’m not even that sick.” Because irony enjoys making Kady her bitch, she breaks into a coughing fit as soon as the word ‘sick’ leaves her mouth, bends over to cough into the bend of her elbow, eyes watering. “Fuck. Goddamnit.”
When she lifts her head, Julia’s hand is stretched out in front of her, clutching a tissue. Kady takes it, grudgingly, wipes at her eyes and then blows her nose, not that it makes much difference, there’s plenty more where that came from, as her clogged sinuses have been reminding her all day. She balls up the tissue and puts it in her pocket, then checks the phone - two minutes.
Julia shuffles closer, leans her head against Kady’s shoulder, and Kady closes her eyes, resists the urge to lean back, reach over and touch the soft fall of Julia’s hair. “You shouldn’t. You’re gonna get sick too.”
“Oh, so you are sick?” Julia asks, innocent and poison-sweet. God, what a bitch. Kady fucking loves her.
“It’s just a head cold. It’s nothing.”
“It would be even more nothing if you were lying in bed resting and eating some fucking soup, instead of sitting out here like a stubborn idiot -”
“Pete’s friend really needs this potion, and I said I’d do it -”
“And it’ll get done, I’ll finish it. You don’t need to run yourself into the ground just to prove -”
“To prove what?” Kady snaps, opening her eyes. According to the phone, it’s time, so she grabs the lighter off the floor and grapples with it until the flame leaps up, bright and ready, and she leans over and lights the white candle, runs through the eight lines of Finnish chanting, pretending her voice isn’t cracking and starting to slide off the edge of ‘kinda sexily throaty’ straight into the bottomless pit of ‘near-silent hoarse croaking’. She sits back when she’s done, checks the phone - forty-five minutes until the next candle has to be lit - and sighs, without really meaning to. She’s just - she’s fucking tired, and her head hurts, and basically her whole body, and she just -
“I don’t know,” Julia says, quietly. “I don’t know what you’re trying to prove. The hedges already know you’d do anything for them.”
Kady looks down at the lighter in her hand, spins it between her fingers.
“And you’re the strongest person I know,” Julia says. “And, you know, the love of my life, and all that shit.”
“Julia -”
“So maybe you can give yourself a break.” Julia reaches out her hand, leaves it hanging it the air next to Kady’s, palm turned up.
Kady blinks, fast, because her stupid eyes are watering again, and then drops the lighter into Julia’s open hand. “In forty-four minutes you have to light the blue candle in the south-west corner -”
“I know. Go the fuck to bed,” Julia says, turns her head to press a kiss to Kady’s shoulder, then tilts her head up to kiss the corner of her mouth.
“Okay,” Kady says. “Okay. And, uh, same. The love of my life. And shit.”
“In sickness and in health, bitch,” Julia says solemnly, then grins at her. “Take the tissue box with you.”
