Hey, could you please continue waking up? thanks in advance
Sure thing! This one is just fluff. Just pure, tooth-rotting fluff. Maybe some plot next time, but I felt like Villain deserved a little comfort. Thanks for the ask!
Masterlist for this series is here.
CW//IVs, food, paralysis
Sleep and bread.
That was what Nurse was focusing on-- Sleep and bread.
Perhaps the most disgusting thing of the whole affair was the IV at Villain’s bedside, administering to them the same, horrible drugs that they had been in in the Chronic Behavior Issues Ward. Nurse had been taking small amounts of them from their workplace ever since they had been transferred to the Ward, and now had quite the supply.
They hated to use it, but there was no choice in the matter. Villain had to be weaned off of the medication, slowly but surely. Stopping it entirely would most likely kill them, their body going into terrible shock.
Yet, every day, in the ward, the dosage had been lowered. Today, it would go lower, too. And, more importantly? Now, Villain was free.
Sleep and bread.
Nurse pushed their way into Villain’s bedroom backwards, their hands full with a wicker tray, atop which various foodstuffs were precariously balanced. They had a whole array of things to try-- water, of course, with a straw, alongside bits of bread, fruit, veggies, and some little pieces of candy as encouragement.
“Villain?” They announced their presence as they entered. There was no movement, but Nurse was used to that. They turned around, allowing the door to drift closed behind them as they viewed their ward-
No. They didn’t like that word. Not their ward, their charge.
Villain was still sleeping. It used to be very difficult to tell, given that they could not blink. Now, however, their eyes were closed, and they looked almost restful.
Almost.
Nurse made an effort to be quiet as they placed the tray on a bedside table. They hated to interrupt Villain’s rest, but getting them back onto a regular pattern of sleep would be very important in their rehabilitation, and the sun had long since risen. With a sigh, they placed a hand upon Villain’s shoulder, watching as heavy eyelids fluttered open.
“Good morning.” Nurse spoke.
Villain’s gaze moved to greet them. They blinked twice in acknowledgement-- Their code for ‘yes’.
Yes, it is a good morning.
“Let’s sit up.”
That was how they always phrased things, when they were encouraging the prisoners in the Ward to work towards movement, to free up the internal stiffness in their body. They did not order, did not even request-- Rather, they invited. Invited their patients to sit up. Let’s.
Villain gave a discontented expression.
Nurse smiled and gave a chiding tsk, followed by a cluck of the tongue.
“I know you don’t want to, I know. Just sit up one time, then I’ll put some pillows behind you, and you can lean against those, how’s that?”
Villain’s expression softened.
“See? Yeah! And, I even have a surprise for you, when you sit up. Now...”
Nurse braced a hand against Villain’s back, arm weaving deftly under the IV line. Though they provided much of the support, Villain was still moving under their own power, muscles shifting where they had once been stone.
It took three minutes. 180 seconds, merely to perform a simple action. Yet, not one did Nurse show impatience. When the task was at last finished, their face lit up with a smile.
“There you go!”
Pillows were stacked behind Villain’s back, providing them support to lean against as Nurse’s strong hand disappeared.
Villain stared firmly at Nurse, narrowing their eyes. That was a question.
“You want to know what the surprise is?”
Two blinks for yes.
“Alright, then, I won’t keep you waiting any longer.”
From the bedside table, Nurse procured the tray of food. Villain’s eyes positively lit up.
“I know you won’t be up for eating a lot, yet, but I wanted to give you a chance to try everything. So, I just took some little pieces...
Let’s try water, first. Do you want some water?”
Two blinks.
“Alright. Do you think you can manage using the straw?”
Hesitation, then two blinks.
Nurse gave an encouraging smile, placing the straw between Villain’s lips. They took a few sips before pulling away, indicating that they were finished.
“Alright, then...”
Nurse took to carefully arranging the options upon the tray.
“One is bread. Two is fruit-- It’s strawberry. Three is cooked carrot. Which do you want.”
Villain blinked four times. Nurse gave a little laugh as they looked at the fourth option on the tray-- Candy.
“Real food first, then that. That’ll be your treat for eating.”
They stuck their tongue out at Nurse, but tried again.
One blink.
Bread.
“Bread it is, then.” Nurse smiled as they picked up the little piece.
Sleep and bread. It could fix anything, as far as they were concerned.

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation
because WHAT are people talking about sometimes

why aren't there more mysteries that take place in nursing homes & retirement communities. i want to watch a group of deranged retirees-cum-amateur-detectives combine their powers of:
decades of life experience
boredom-fueled busybody shamelessness
access to the most gossipy next-door-neighbors in existence
"I am too old to be arrested and/or give a shit" attitude
and solve crimes. this should be an enormous subgenre.
