The Heart Grows Fonder - an Octopath Traveler (Cyrus/Therion) fanfiction by QueenNeehola.
Summary:
'He doesn’t know what’s wrong with him. He feels restless and lethargic all at once, the urge to busy his hands and mind battling with the desire to do just the opposite and lie in a pathetic lump on the floor. He’s tired, but sleep doesn’t seem to want to come to him as easily anymore. The bed is always so cold, but he makes himself too hot tossing and turning and wrapped in Cyrus’s clothes.
He’s sick, he decides, despite no fever or sniffles, and picks the least offensive-smelling of the medicines Alfyn had last delivered to them and downs it in one.'
When Cyrus takes a short work trip away from home, Therion is left to hold down the fort. He relishes the chance for alone time, plans for so much productivity, but in reality he ends up struggling with something he has never really experienced before...
