hey y'all, it's me again! can i request an extremely fluffy imagine with garcello being an emotional wreck when meeting his long distance s/o for the first time on his birthday? i'm not feeling too well so hopefully some fluff will lift my spirits :) - 💀💍
"Awh, c'mon Gar. You can't just sulk around on your birthday!" Annie frowned at her longtime friend, who was just staring out the window with a blank yet solemn look.
A few moments passed before she perked up at the sound of a knock on the door. "Oh! I invited someone who'll cheer ya up. I know ya wanna meet em~" She tried grabbing Garcello's hand and tugging him away from his spot, but to no avail. "Ugh..Garcelloooo. Come with me or I'll make you chug one of my drinks!"
"Sorry, Annie. Not in the mood for any guests today."
"But-"
"Just tell 'em to give you the gift and leave." Eventually he freed himself from her grasp, taking out a cigarette pack and walking back into the kitchen.
It seemed dumb that the stress of someone just visiting was enough to make him desperate for a smoke. But he didn't care for any unwanted company right now.
Normally, he wouldn't be this gloomy...but there was someone who he wanted to see more than anyone else, especially on his birthday: You.
For a few months you two have been dating via long-distance. Telecommunication apps worked wonders, though of course Garcello yearned for the day he could finally meet you.
At the same time..he wasn't sure if you'd want to stay with him once you got to know the real him.
You always told him how much you loved and supported him. But he still had doubts about himself.
Like whether he meets your standards, if his habits will ruin things, or if he'll be too-
"Oh, hey Annie. Gar told me a lot about you. Is..he home?"
"Yeah totally! He's in the kitchen! I'll head out so you two can chill together."
Garcello nearly spat out his cigarette, not even having the chance to light it as he heard what sounded like your voice. He looked over and saw you with a suitcase and...
Was that a small birthday cake?
Once you locked eyes with him, you instantly smiled. Without any hesitation you put down your stuff and ran over to him, hugging him tightly. He did the same as well, at first still in utter disbelief.
"[Y/n]..? I-It's..really you?"
"The one and only! Happy birthday, Gar." You chuckled, pulling away to look at the teal-haired male. "Wowie, you're way more handsome in person! Has anyone ever told you....?"
Though you paused, realizing he was starting to cry. His hat did little to hide the tears as he laid his head on your shoulder, mumbling about how happy he was to finally see you.
You were actually here and he couldn't believe it! He didn't care about impressions right now; all of his previous doubts were thrown out the window when he realized you truly loved him.
Loved him so much that you didn't hesitate to rush into his arms and call a mess like him "handsome".
And as you hugged him once more, you knew you've given him the best gift of all:
A surprise visit that'll change both of your lives for the better.
Hi! I’m sorry if this is too hard but I never see any representation of Type One Diabetes and I was wondering if you could make a platonic fanfic of Garcello and Y/N, like he helps them go to appointments or let you vent to him about having type 1 diabetes. Also please ask me if you don’t know much about the condition I’m diabetic myself! Sorry for asking-
(I'm really sorry that this took such a long time, but I couldn't come up with any ideas to start the scenario off, so I hope that headcanons are fine. I did some research to write this, but if I got anything wrong about type-1 diabetes, let me know ˆˆ)
As your friend, Garcello would definitely want to help you out if you'd allow him to, so you should expect having chats with him about your condition. He'll ask questions such as: "what can I do to help?" "what would you like for him to do, to help you out?" "if you're experiencing low-blood sugar, what should he do for you?" "what foods can you eat and which ones are off the table?"
For someone so laid-back and easy-going, he does quite a lot of research on type-1 diabetes, but when it comes to actually helping and supporting you, he'll ask you those questions to make sure he's actually doing something that'll help you out. For example, if you'd want him to remind you to check your blood sugar whenever the two of you hang out, he'll try his best to keep that in mind and he'll gently remind you every now and then.
Or if you'd like him to comfort you whenever you feel distressed or if you're in any sort of physical discomfort due to the symptoms you feel, he'll try to help the best he can. In general he'd try and help you relax and do something you enjoy, go out for a walk, or the two of you can sit down and talk about it and rant to him, or if you want to do something else, that's fine with him so long as it helps you out. If your mental health starts to take a turn for the worse as a result of all the stress, he will not hesitate to intervene and talk to you, even suggesting therapy to help.
If you feel any physical pain like headaches or fatigue, he'll offer you some headache medicine or an ice pack and encourage you to lay down and get comfortable. If turning the lights off in the room helps with that, then he'll close the curtains, turn the lights down and dim the room.
He's willing to spend as much time as he needs to in order to learn how a glucagon spray works, or what he needs to do when you're experiencing low or high blood sugar. And now he usually keeps a snack or a drink on him to help raise your blood sugar or help with ketones if necessary.
He doesn't mind accompanying you to appointments, whether it be driving with you there, or walking. And while the two of you wait for the doctor to call you in, he could keep you entertained with a funny conversation, or the two of you could just enjoy one another's company in silence.
Whenever the two of you hang out—and if you like eating out at restaurants sometimes, he'll make sure to ask the server about the carbohydrate count if you forget to. Or if you prefer making your own food at home, he could help you prepare and cook it, but he's no Michelin star chef.
He tries his best to keep an eye out for any symptoms of high or low blood pressure, and whenever he thinks he's spotted one, he'll encourage you to check on your blood pressure. He'll say there's no harm in being too safe.
You already know this, but he has a bad smoking habit, and he sometimes tends to offer people a cigarette. Of course he learns that smoking can be really harmful to your health, so he tries to keep himself from smoking around you and he leaves any cigar pack he has at home. Despite being so neglectful of his own health at times, he doesn't extend the same courtesy to any friends of his. Especially if he cares a whole bunch about them. So in general, he'll make sure to do his best to help you take care of your own by providing whatever support you'll allow him to.
