Person A gets injured or becomes suddenly unwell. Person B gets them help, they’re going to pull through…but they have to stay on bedrest, and/or confined to hospital/the infirmary/sickbay etc. Person B misses them of course, this is sad. Their person A is injured…
but this is too good an opportunity to pass up
Person B has a precious few days/weeks to finally cross some things off their to-do list, and they don’t have a moment to waste.
Some examples of the things they get done:
-Cooking
-Cleaning
-Sleeping
-Grocery shopping
-Getting their vehicle serviced (still damaged after their last escapade)
-Washing their clothes
-Going to the dentist
-Doing basically anything that they need to get done in regular life that they can’t do because dammit person A it’s been 5 minutes what’s the emergency now
