You know, another way the trope MAY be plausible, is that B's actions and words become a catalyst to SHOW how A has been changing on his own, subtly, without much noticing it on his/her own.
The problem with that is largely in execution, because most sickfic is either drivel or triggery-nauseating because of the psychological elements. I can't even tolerate much of the "morning sickness" trope stuff for similar reasons, due to the preponderance of fics which focus on that particular aspect also including "reasons" to force a bond between the two parties.
And yeah, that's obviously another form of and allusion to r-pe culture.
