He eats a lot that day. His stomach is constantly full, and every time it starts to feel a little less heavy, Ignis is there with another cup. He knows Cor wants him to eat more, so he does his best. Sometimes, though, he barely keeps himself from throwing up, and he sips on the red drink, hoping that Ignis will consider it just as good and stop bringing him cups of soup and broth.
He sleeps, too. He sleeps once in the morning, while Ignis is busy writing at his table, and then again after what Ignis calls lunch. The second time, when he wakes up, he’s lying on his side on the couch, with a blanket over him. He’s not sure whether it’s permitted, and he sits up quickly, but Ignis doesn’t seem to mind.
He spends all day with Ignis, and it’s – easy. Ignis doesn’t ask him many questions or try to run any tests on him. He talks to him sometimes – he explains things about the music, most of which he doesn’t understand, and he talks about cooking – but he doesn’t seem to expect him to say much in response. In the afternoon, the light in the room changes, and Ignis goes and stands in front of the window.
“It’s so pleasant to see the sun after so many grey days,” Ignis says.
He stands up, too. He goes to stand next to Ignis and look at the sun.
“Yes,” he says. “It’s beautiful.”
Ignis turns to look at him. He looks surprised. “Yes,” he says. “Indeed it is.”

I made this months ago but I wasn’t happy with it, so I never posted it. OH WELL I’m not gonna fix it anyway...
