ok modern au style because i can’t imagine either of them fussing over the other over a cold as mercenaries in the middle ages lol

griffith goes full doting husband, makes chicken soup, buys three kinds of cold medicine and the extra soft kleenex, and actively tries to catch his cold thru cuddling and making out so guts can either reciprocate or he can have a minor crisis over loving guts more than guts loves him.

guts has learned to dote on griffith too tho it’s not his first instinct, and he does it while rolling his eyes and calling him a giant baby. griffith doesn’t care if he makes him soup and tucks him into bed sardonically as long as he demonstrates that he’s willing to shower him with attention.

it eventually becomes a thing they can joke about.

OR

griffith refuses to acknowledge that he’s sick, and probably works even harder doing whatever modern au griffith does just to prove he can, and guts is like, here I made you chicken noodle soup, eat it, while griffith is like, i told you i’m not sick, and guts is like, eat it anyway, and griffith does while feeling very warm and fuzzy inside.

(this griffith would still drop everything and lavish guts with attention when he’s sick.)

depending on which aspects of griffith’s personality are more prominent in a hypothetical modern au lol.
