!!Tropes:
* {{Bedheaditis}}: Aran is described as having wildly messy hair while sick.
* BigShutUp: One of the other boxers (exactly who is unspecified) yells one of these at Aran and Disco Kid at the end.
* BlandNameProduct: There's a streaming service called [[Creator/{{Netflix}} Net]]-[[Creator/{{Nintendo}} Tendo]].
* ContentWarnings: The opening notes contains one for emetophobia[[note]]the fear of vomit[[/note]]. Passages containing the triggering material are designated with percentage signs (%).
* CryCute: In a later section, Aran cracks under his illness and [[CryIntoChest cries into Disco Kid's chest]].
* DefrostingIceKing: As the fic progresses, Aran becomes less and less irritable and warms up to Disco Kid.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, but Disco Kid's shiny blue eyes are dull when he's worrying about Aran.
* EveryoneHasStandards: As much as Aran loves getting hit in the games, here he's shown to detest being sick (to the point of crying in pain).
* FaceplantingIntoFood: {{Defied|Trope}}; Disco Kid tries to keep Aran awake so he doesn't fall asleep into a bowl of applesauce.
* GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: Disco Kid is the upbeat Gleeful to Aran's crabby Grumpy.
* GrowlingGut: Two from Aran; once after it's shown that he's sick (described as being "almost on cue"), and again before throwing up the second time.
* HeadbuttThermometer: {{Implied|trope}}; Disco Kid notices that Aran's fever is going down while he is holding him in his arms, tussling his hair.
* TheHermit: Aran kept quiet about being sick specifically because he wanted to be left alone. However, he fails as Disco Kid finds out anyway.
* IllnessBlanket: Disco Kid wraps Aran in a blanket after taking his temperature and learning he has a fever.
* LuminescentBlush:
--> ''Aran went as pink as freshly-unwrapped bubble gum''.
* MinimalistCast: Outside of a brief appearance from Super Macho Man and a brief mention of Mr. Sandman, this fic only had two principal characters; Disco Kid and Aran Ryan.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Disco Kid's first name is given as "Thomas".
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Aran's illness noticeably makes him softer and less prone to anger. In one section, Disco Kid jokes that he can tell Aran is getting better after he starts yelling at Super Macho Man.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Inverted; Disco Kid insists on staying to sleep on the couch because he doesn't want to leave Aran.
* ShoutOut: ''[[ShowWithinAShow The Sassy Sisters of Shady Shores]]'' is a parody of ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'', with the character Stella even being named for one of the lead actresses (Creator/EstelleGetty).
* SickEpisode: The main plot of the story is that Disco Kid is left to look after Aran while he is sick with a stomach bug.
* SleepCute: Disco Kid stays on the couch with Aran, and the two fall asleep cuddled together.
* TalkingInYourSleep: Disco Kid mentions hearing Aran mumble his name in his sleep.
* ThousandYardStare: Aran is said to be "stone-faced" after his second round of puking.
* TheUnapologetic: {{Subverted|Trope}}; Aran is said to struggle with apologies, but eventually chokes one out.
* VerbalTic: Aran consistently refers to his midsection as "me belly".
* VomitDiscretionShot: Aran's second round of vomiting is done very discreetly (it is only shown through sounds). However...
* VomitIndiscretionShot: ...his first round is shown in rather explicit detail.
