Summary
To say today wasn’t Gen’s day would be an understatement. He wasn’t even an hour in, and he already felt like high tailing it back to his bed for the rest of the day. A headache was blossoming at the back of his skull, and his eyes and lips were dry.
Worst of all, though, his wings felt too sensitive. Like the nerves had become heightened.
Series
- Part 1 of Sengen Wing AU

Summary
Let it be known on Gen’s tombstone that while he may be the stone world’s best (and only) mentalist, sometimes his best judgments can fly out of the window at the worst of times for the worst reasons. His current situation proves it because as much as he hates to admit it, he’s sick.
~~ Or Gen is sick but hides it until it becomes too much. Senku takes care of him.

Summary
“Sorcerer?” A gruff voice interrupts Gen’s panic, which he realizes is… Magma’s? Now he’s sure he’s going insane, since the brute is gingerly walking towards him and kneeling down to his level. “Ya look like shit.”
The mentalist doesn’t meet Magma’s eyes, and responds with a weak “Don’t touch me, Magma-chan.” Magma ignores him and inches closer, prompting another, more urgent “Don’t fucking touch me.”
And of course, the dumbass ignores Gen and grabs his hands, and everything falls apart.
