Prompt: After a successful tour, Copia has thrown himself back into work at the ministry and begins to grow ill from exhaustion.
Thank you to @n-u-l-lo for requesting! This is my first writing ever so please be kind >.< constructive criticism is accepted though.
ENJOY <3
It's a cloudy, crisp autumn day and everyone is hard at work at the ministry, especially one Papa in particular. Despite how much energy he had put into their recent tour, he was adamant about continuing to work just as hard now, feeling the pressure of Sister Imperator and Nihil as well as having a lingering fear that something might happen to him, given that Saltarian had been hanging around lately, and the tour being over too. There isn't a day go by that he doesn't remember what happened last time...his dear brother Terzo's untimely demise...
Anyways, Copia was currently walking down the hall towards the library, when a small dark shadow whips passed him and stops him in his tracks. "Papa! Gosh I feel like I haven't seen you in days!" Aurora smiled sweetly as her tail whips around excitedly. He smiles back softly as he tries to move forward, "Ah, my apologies picolla Ghuleh. I have much work to do. We can talk more later, eh?" "But, you've been on your feet every time I've seen you around. You really should be resting, not that I think you can't handle yourself I just-." She stopped herself from rambling on. He smiled sadly, patting her shoulder, "I am okie dokie, I just have some things to do, you should rest as well, you have worked very hard on your first tour with us my dear, if you'll excuse me." She frowned as he walked passed here hurriedly, noticing the fatigue in his face and the almost sad tone in his voice. As she turned, Swiss appeared at the end of the hall, looking at her expression and Copia walking away from her. "What's wrong Ro?" he placed a hand on her head. "He hasn't stopped ever since we got home. He looks so tired Swiss...I'm worried about him." Her tail drooped with her shoulders as she leaned against him. Swiss nodded and rubbed her arm, "Our Papa is stubborn, but hopefully he'll rest soon. It must be important if he hasn't yet."
Copia sat amongst several books, his scribbling rang throughout the silent room. The clock stroked midnight and he jumped slightly, groaning and setting his pencil down. Copia laid his head in his hands, a dull ache pulsing through his brain.
I can't... I can't stop working. What if they see me like this, weak...
He stood and left his things on the table, walking out of the library. As he made his way towards his room, the world suddenly tilted, time seemed to slow down as he lost his balance and fell to the ground. His head throbbed in pain and his limbs felt weak. Trying to move, he felt as though he weighed a ton. "H-help..." he croaked. He felt a pang of fear run through him.
Am I dying? No...please, I'm not ready.
Fatigue started taking over and his eyes were slipping shut. Footsteps came from down the hall, then they started pounding against the floor, sprinting towards him. "PAPA! Papa open your eyes please, can you hear me?!" His eyes barely opened to see Sodo leaning over him, holding his head. "Ghul...tired..so..tired" Copia let his eyes close as exhaustion took over. Sodo shook him and tears welled in his eyes, panicking and yelling for help. He held Copia's head in his lap, trying to make him as comfortable as he could. Moments later Mountain turned the corner and froze for a second, fearing the worst and ran to pick him up carefully, the two walked him to his room and called for a nurse. After checking him over she informed the ghouls that he seemed to be extremely exhausted, he had developed a fever as well. "His other vitals are very good, he will be alright with plenty of sleep." She nodded at them and slipped out of the room. Sodo slumped in the chair across from Copia's bed. His shoulders jumped as a small cry left is lips. Mountain kneeled in front of him, gripping his neck and pressing their foreheads together. "I thought he was...and all I could think of was Terzo...I cannot lose someone else. Especially not him." Mountain frowned as his heart ached at Sodo's words. The ghouls loved their papas dearly, and ever since Terzo they have been very protective over Copia. "He will be okay, let us leave him to rest. We can check on him later, I will have Aether watch the door so he does not try and go working again." He patted Sodo's shoulder before pulling him up and out of the room. They went to the den with the others and informed them of Copia's state. Everyone's ears and tails fell and sadness and worry permeated the air. Cirrus spoke up, "I know we're worried about him, but let's also try not to be overbearing when we go see him. Try not to talk down to him, or yell at him for being so reckless. He'll have learned his lesson from this." Everyone nodded and started to move to their rooms for the remainder of the night.
Day came and Copia started to awaken, feeling extremely groggy, but better that he had gotten some rest. As he went to move, he felt a weight on his legs, and something cocooning him on either side. His eyes sprung open to see several ghouls piled into his bed. Cumulus, Cirrus and Sunshine on his sides, and Phantom, Aurora and Swiss were at his feet. Aether, Sodo and Mountain were standing on his left and smiling down at him. "Apologies Papa, but we couldn't convince them to not swarm you." Aether smirked. Sodo looked at him with big sad eyes, "You really gave me a fright Papa..." "All of us." "We just want you to take care of yourself." "We care about you very much." "If anything happened to you.." "We would be lost without you." (you may choose who says what I just didn't want a run on dialogue ahhh) Copia felt his heart swell up and tears pricked his eyes, he had never felt so loved, not even by his own mother. These wonderful creatures were his family...He cleared his throat and smiled down at all of them. "My dear ghulehs, mi dispiace, I did not mean to frighten you. I just...I have been so very focused on working so hard, so that the ministry takes me seriously. So that my m...Sister Imperator and Nihil take me seriously. You all mean so much to me as well. I will not push myself again, I promise. Thank you, for being here for me." Phantom and Aurora climbed up to embrace Copia, the others including the standing ghouls piled in for a giant hug, "Ai, you all are very heavy." Everyone started to laugh and held each other. Their strange and lovely family all together. <3

Copia x Phantom ghoul
Prompt: Phantom is one of the newest ghouls to be brought to the ministry and he's feeling quite out of his element, but have no fear, Papa is here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's midday and the ministry halls are full of siblings and staff members, busy at work. Down past the Commons, to the end of a hall, is the room in which the ghouls reside. Most of them are practicing music for the Ghost project, but one ghoul in particular is missing. Out in the gardens, the fairly new quintessence ghoul hid amongst the bushes. When he first arrived, he was bright eyed and bushy tailed, excited to have a new family. He still was at heart, but his mind grew weary as of late. Everyone here was so well acquainted and got on well, however, he felt as though he didn't fit in. Earlier that morning, he had tried to make small talk with the other ghouls, but they'd basically brushed him off and gave him a pat on the head as if he were a child.
I may not be an old geezer ghoul, but I'll be damned if I'm treated like a kit-
He thought as he picked leaves off of a bush, sending them into the air and watching them float back down to the ground. Even the newest ghoulette Aurora was getting on with the rest, and they weren't treating her with kids gloves! As Phantom fumed and went to pluck more leaves, a snap sounded behind him. Nearly jumping out of his skin, he turned to see a red tracksuit and panda eyes.
"Oh! Satanas little one, you scared me-" Copia held his chest dramatically, chuckling softly.
Phantom grumbled,"I am NOT a little one!" He covered his mouth in shock. "Forgive me Papa, I did not mean to speak so rudely."
Copia let out another small chuckle, "No need to be so formal, it is my day off...", he showed off his casual wear, "and we're alone. Please, call me Copia."
With an old man grunt, he sat down next to the ghoul. Looking up at the cloudy sky and then back down to give Phantom a sad smile.
"Now, I know there is something wrong because this is MY something is wrong spot, so tell your Papa what is wrong." He placed his hand on his thigh and Phantom couldn't help the way his tail flickered happily.
"It's just... it's been a month since you so graciously summoned me, but I'm afraid I don't exactly fit in." His ears flattened slightly, his bottom lip jutting out. "I'm treated like a child and almost always excluded when the ghouls go out together..."
Copia frowned as he listened, his hand rubbing Phantom's back soothingly. He'd noticed how the ghoul had become less friendly and more quiet. Gently touching his chin, Copia turned his face towards him. Phantom faintly blushing at the gesture.
"I'm so sorry you have been feeling like this. I wish I would have known sooner, but I'm very happy you have told me now. You should tell the others how you are feeling. I know they seem like big, tough guys, but they are not meanies, I promise you. Okay, maybe Sodo can be a meanie, but he means well... most of the time."
They both laugh at the statement and Phantom smiles up at Copia. "Thank you Papa, er, I mean Copia. You're really the only person I've felt I could confide in since my arrival, though I hope after I talk to the others, that will change."
Copia grinned and softly brushed his thumb over Phantom's chin, "While I do hope your companionship with the ghouls works out, I wouldn't mind if you confided in me more often. I'm always here for you, my ghuleh."
Phantom's ears perked up and his tail swished from side to side, Copia smirked at his reaction and gently pulled him in, his breath fanned across the ghoul's face, his eyes closing before he felt lips planting a soft kiss on his cheek. Phantom unconsciously let out a whine of disappointment, and Copia couldn't help but laugh.
"Consider my teasing your punishment for missing practice, if you're a good ghuleh there will be plenty more where that came from." With another grunt, he rose from his spot and dusted his pants off. He looked down at Phantom and offered his hand, pulling him up from the ground.
"I- I promise, no more missing practice, and I'll talk to the ghouls, and I'll be good, and practice real hard- am I talking too much?" Phantom rambled excitedly, the light in his eyes sparkling again.
Copia stared affectionately and shook his head. "Of course not, I find your excitement quite endearing. Now let's get you back inside, eh?"
Still holding his hand, the pair walked back into the warmth of the building. Phantom looked at Copia and then down the hall towards the ghoul's den.
I think I'm gonna be just fine.
