Some Sick IwaOi Headcanons That Nobody Asked For Since I’m Still Feeling Like Crap:

Some sick IwaOi headcanons that nobody asked for since I’m still feeling like crap:

Two idiots who deny the fact that they are sick to themselves but know the second the other is sick and will nurse them accordingly.

Contrary to a lot of hcs, I think that Oikawa would be a more quiet, sulky kind of sick person. If he’s sick, it’s probably because he’s exhausted himself and so he really wouldn’t have the energy to whine. He will argue with you though over his sickness and will deny it at all costs until it’s simply not arguable.

Iwaizumi doesn’t even bother arguing with him, either drags him home or piggy-backs him halfway when it’s less likely for people to see him because Oikawa refuses to show his weak side to anyone (except his mother, sister, and Iwaizumi, they are the only exception).

Iwaizumi is actually a pretty clingy person when he’s sick. No one expects it (or believes it when Oikawa jokes about it) but Oikawa knows for a fact his friend (boyfriend?) will practically leech onto him, even if he’s burning up with a fever. Mama Iwaizumi says it’s because whenever Iwa was sick as a baby/toddler, she would lay him on her chest and hold him to try and help him feel better. He doesn’t do it with anybody else but her and Oikawa, so she thinks it’s because Oikawa exudes a similar type of comfort to Iwaizumi that he remembers from babyhood. 

Continuing on with that, Iwaizumi likes to lay on Oikawa’s chest if he does latch on. He’s not comfortable unless he can hear the rhythmic beat of his heart.

I know it’s pretty fun to joke about either of them having a lack of cooking skills, but seriously, I think they can at least handle the basics enough that when the other is sick (and a parent isn’t around or they are off at Uni or something) the non-sick person is able to handle at least a simple soup or some rice porridge.

Oikawa is a big mama’s boy and does love it when his mother comes in to check on him and will sit down and brush through his hair with her fingers. When they go onto Uni, Iwaizumi also tries to do this for him and Oikawa really appreciates it.

It’s very rare that they are sick at the same time, but if it does happen they both sort of take turns as best they can to take care of the other.

Also, before they establish a relationship, it’s sort of an unspoken agreement that whoever is sick gets joined in bed by the other. (If they are both sick, the just huddle up together in either of their rooms.)

Iwaizumi will carry Oikawa out to the couch so he can huddle up and watch movies when he’s sick. He will watch them on the couch with him too, or at least stay in the room with him while working on homework.

Iwaizumi gets really bad chest-colds and Oikawa will put vapor rub on his chest even though he can’t stand the smell just so Iwaizumi can breathe a little better.

Oikawa gets sore throats often and Iwaizumi will go out and buy him a slushy or popsicle because it makes him feel better. He will also go look for Oikawa’s expensive, frilly tea so he can brew him some whenever Oikawa is feeling especially bad.

Oikawa does not handle throwing up well. He finds it incredibly gross and the feeling to be suffocating which always makes him panic a little and sometimes turn into a sobbing mess. Iwaizumi will always push his hair back with a headband and sit on the bathroom floor with him, rubbing his back and trying to keep him calm by talking with him.

Iwaizumi gets pretty delusional with a fever and will start babbling about the craziest things. Oikawa finds it cute, though he feels bad he’s sick, and he tries to answer back as much as he can because Iwaizumi likes to have someone to talk to. It’s more grounding for him in his mind and keeps him from feeling shitty and lonely.

Oikawa is notorious for getting sick after finals. He just goes through days of none stop studying, a habit Iwaizumi has never been able to break as much as he’s tried, and will essentially collapse after. Iwaizumi always nurses him better while gently scolding him.  

They will go and get notes for each other if one misses a day of classes. They will just grab the others phone, text the classmates saved in there and go copy down notes so the sick one won’t fall too far behind. Sometimes they even sit in the class for the other if the professor allows it.

Double standard Iwaizumi who will smooch Oikawa all he wants while Oikawa’s sick despite any protest just to prove that he won’t catch it. But will not by any means let Oikawa kiss him if he catches anything. Oikawa gets super pouty about that and complains every time.

After sick spells, they will always take the other out and treat the other to whatever food they are craving. It’s there silent way of saying, “I’m glad that you are better, please continue to take care of yourself.”

I have tons more, but this is long already so I might make a separate post another day.
