It was an average Monday morning. The sun was rising, spreading its golden light onto the world. In a small apartment lived 7 roommates who barely escaped a lab that was disguised as a mental hospital. Gill, the leader of the 7 people whom they call themselves the "Tank Gang". Peach, Gill's girlfriend, Gurgle, Bubbles, Deb with her "sister" Flo, Bloat, And Jacques.
Peach, Deb, Bloat and Jacques have jobs at an Elementry school. It's the Elementry that a kid by the name of Nemo goes to. Nemo was taken from his father after disobeying him and was put into the lab with the Tank Gang. They soon worked together to help Nemo get out of the lab so he could reunite with his father. It's been about a year and a half since then and Gill is now Nemo's mentor.
He takes him to school every day along with Peach, Deb, Jacques and Bloat. Peach is a math teacher at the school, Deb works at the front desk of the guidance office, Bloat is a coach and Jacques is the janitor. Almost every week Gill would come along and help Peach in the mornings until after lunch when she gets to teach Nemo and his classmates.
See, Nemo gets his science teacher, Mr. Ray, for the first half of the day, then lunch and recess, then Peach at the second half of the day. Nemo was Peach's best student, getting good grades and being well behaved. Peach hasn't taken a sick day off throughout her job. Even when she was sick, she would still come to work.
This would worry Gill a lot. Peach would always keep her and Gill up all night with her working in the middle of the night. Gill always tries to convince her to take a sick day but Peach was too stubborn to do it. She never really takes a break, until today that is.
Peach's eyes slowly stirred open from the sunlight in her eyes. The first thing she saw was Gill sleeping next to her, his arms around her waist. Peach softly chuckled and carefully moved from the bed without waking up her sleeping partner. She immediately noticed that her head started to ache and her throat started to hurt.
She assumed it was just morning sickness or something and went into the restroom to take a shower, hoping it would go away. After she got dressed, it didn't go away, it only got worse. She started to cough. Peach knew that this couldn't ruin her day so she just pushed through it and headed down stairs.
? ﾟﾒﾖ? ﾟﾒﾖ? ﾟﾒﾖ? ﾟﾒﾖ? ﾟﾒﾖ? ﾟﾒﾖ? ﾟﾒﾖ? ﾟﾒﾖ?
She met up with the others who were already and talking to each other. When they took a look at Peach they were silent until Bloat spoke up. "Peach, are you okay?" "Yeah, of course I am, why do you ask?" She said before sneezing. "Bless you. Peach, no offense, but you look like a mess." said Deb. "Oh god if you have germs, stay like 10 feet away from me if you could." Gurgle backed up.
"Peach, chéri, you must've gotten sick." Jacques finally said, pointing out the elephant in the room. "Sick? I can't be sick, I have to teach." "Come on, can't you just take one day off?" Asked Gurgle. "No way! I would never ruin a perfect job record." Peach argued. "Peach, we know how much your job means to you, but you can't just keep over working yourself like this. It's not healthy." Deb said, placing a hand Peach's shoulder.
Gill finally came down stairs and met with everyone else. "What's going on?" He asked. "Mon amie, we think your amoureux is feeling mauvais." Jacques explained in French. Gill looked at him confused until Bloat groaned. "Gill, your girlfriend's sick and she's too stubborn to admit it!" Bloat shouted, earning a smack from Deb.
"Gill, I swear I'm fine." Peach assured, coughing afterwards. Gill stepped forward to try and help her but Peach held up a hand, signaling that she's fine. "My throat would always get raspy in the morning." "Psh, so you also constantly sneeze in the morning?" Bloat asked sarcastically, making Peach roll her eyes. "Look, we're gonna be late, let's just go and pick up Nemo and head to work."
Peach sneezed again. "Hold up, let me take a look at you." Gill grabbed Peach's hand, stopping her from walking out the door. She sighed and turned around, letting Gill check her. He placed a hand on her forehead and it was burning hot. "Peach, your burning up, this is the second time this month." Peach guiltily sighed. "Okay, I'm sick. But it's not gonna stop me from going to work."
Gill grabbed Peach's hand again then places his on her shoulders, causing her to face him again. "Not so fast. Peach you've done nothing but chores and work. As much as we appreciate it, there can be a limit. You stay up all night doing school work and it's getting you sick. It's staring to worry me. You got to take a break every once in a while."
"I'm sorry, Gill, but -" "No buts, Peach." Gill interrupted her. "You're taking the day off today so I can take care of you and let you rest, period." Peach looks down at the floor, refusing to face Gill. He sighed and lifted her chin up. "Look, I care about you and want what's best for you, and what you need right now is a break." Peach sighed. "Okay, but just for today." Gill softly grinned and kissed her cheek.
After saying goodbye to Bloat, Jacques and Deb, Gill takes Peach to their bedroom. Peach lays back down under the covers. "I'll be right back, okay? I'm gonna call Hank and ask him to substitute for you." Peach nodded as Gill left the room. He unlocked his phone, found Hank's contact number and tapped it. It rang three times until Hank answered.
"Hello?" Hank's voice was tried and raspy, Gill's call probably waking him up. "Hey, Hank, it's Gill." Hank wakes up a bit more and sits up on his bed. "Oh, hey, Gill. What is it?" He asked. "I actually need a favor from you. Peach's sick and I've convinced her to take a day off. Do you mind substituting her class?" Hank groaned a bit. "You know how much I hate substituting. Remember when I had to substitute for Mr. Ray for a long time?"
"I know, I know, but that was before the gang and I escaped and Mr. Ray was Nemo's only teacher. Plus Peach's class doesn't get that rowdy from what I heard." Hank sighed. "Alright, I'll do it." "Thank you so much, Hank. I owe you." "No need." Hank assured. "Hope Peach feels better. See ya." With that Hank hung up.
"Thanks, bye." Gill turned off his phone and headed back into his bedroom where Peach laid, sleeping peacefully. He chuckled a little and laid next to her, pulling her close so that she was laying against his chest. He wrapped one arm around Peach's waist and the other was stroking her short pink hair. "Sleep well, love." Gill whispered before falling asleep himself.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Around 3:30 in the afternoon, Peach started to slowly wake up. She still didn't feel well, her nose stuffed up and her head still throbbing. She looked over at Gill who was still asleep and smiled softly. She was grateful she had someone like him to look out for her and take care of her. She nuzzled against Gill's chest, letting his warmth embrace her.
Gill woke up a moment later, a yawn escaping his mouth. He looked down at Peach and chuckled. "Hey, Pinky. How are you feeling?" He said in a tired voice. "It hasn't gone away. My head still aches." Said Peach, as she sniffled after she spoke. Gill leaned forward and kissed her forehead. "Does it ache now?" "Not as much." Gill grinned and pecked Peach's lips.
The two leaned in for another kiss until they heard a knock on the door. "That's probably the others, I'll go get it." Said Gill, leaving the bed. Peach nodded and laid back down. Gill headed downstairs and towards the front door. To his surprise, Marlin, Nemo, Dory and Hank were there along with Deb, Bloat and Jacques. "Um hey, what are you all doing here?" Gill asked.
"We heard Peach was sick." Answered Marlin. "So we all pitched in and got her this" Dory said, handing Gill a pink basket full of spa goods like shampoos, soaps, lotions, body washes, etc. It was all nicely wrapped in a pink bow. (Kinda like this one⬇️)
"Wow, thank you guys so much. I know she'll love this." Gill thanked them. "Of course, she deserves it." Said Hank. "Tell Peach we hope she feels better." said Nemo making Gill chuckle. "I will, thanks again." After saying their goodbyes, Marlin, Nemo, Dory and Hank left. Gill looked at Deb, Bloat and asked "Did you guys help as well?"
"Oui, she really did need a break so we gave them the idea of the panier cadeau." Answered Jacques. Gill grinned. "Thanks guys, you're the best." "No problem, Gill." Said Deb. "Now go back up to your lover you sly fox." Bloat teased, nudging Gill's arm with his shoulder. Gill laughed, thanking them one last time and headed back up to his bedroom.
He noticed that Peach has fallen back asleep. Gill shook his head amusingly and went over to her side. He set the basket down by her night stand and kissed her cheek. "Feel better, Pinky." Gill whispered before quietly heading back downstairs to let Peach get some rest.
