Oh come on. "I'll be fine, I just need to take some medicine." It was too quiet to even qualify as a protest, and I wasn't sure she'd actually heard it.

She took his hand. "And someone who isn't an asshole to take care of you."

2015-09-24 07:22:02

🌀

I sighed again and shook my head, but finally closed the door. "Speaking of assholes, he's been gone for two days," I whispered.

2015-09-24 07:25:13

●

"Wonderful." Ivory stated. So he was missing. "And Terezi hasn't seen him?"

2015-09-24 07:26:46

🌀

I shook my head again, reached over, and picked up my phone, holding it up.

2015-09-24 07:27:19

●

She took the phone, stared at the text for a moment, then put it down. "Great. I'll talk to Lance about it, but right now, you need rest."

2015-09-24 07:29:55

🌀

I shook my head for what was bound to be one of eight hundred times today. I had to eat something, and clean the stove while he was gone and couldn't cut me off from it, and maybe clean up the blood in the bathroom, and...

"Seculus this isn't up for debate." She grabbed him, and lifted him into the air. Just like she did when he was drunk.

2015-09-24 07:34:19

🌀

WH--HEY! "Put me down, this is ridiculous!" I shouted at the top of my extremely limited volume range, and grabbed for the back of the couch. As she started to walk towards my room I managed to pull myself away and fell out of her arms to the ground, head spinning.

2015-09-24 07:38:41

●

She frowned, and did it again. He was getting to that room, one way or another. This time, she did make it into the room, and dropped him onto the bed.

2015-09-24 07:40:22

🌀

"Oof! Wait, I need to clean up, and get something to eat, I can't.................." My mouth kept moving, but nothing came out. Oh, you've /got/ to be kidding me.

2015-09-24 07:42:36

●

"No. You don't. You /need/ to rest. You're sick."

2015-09-24 07:43:33

🌀

I continued to silently protest. Tassek's missing, Terezi's going to want my help finding him, I need to /eat/ something, I can't just rest at a time like this! Then my futile jaw movements were cut off by a sudden sneeze, which I caught with my shirt sleeve. ....ew.

2015-09-24 07:45:59

●

"See? You're making yourself sicker by arguing with me."

2015-09-24 07:48:08

🌀

I crossed my arms with a scowl, then quickly unfolded them again. Right. Ew.

2015-09-24 07:49:24

●

She rolled her eyes. "You can be mad at me all you want once you're better. I'll be right back. Yes, I'll still be here, so I'll know if you leave." She exited the room.

2015-09-24 07:53:00

🌀

I would've grumbled to myself if I could. I pulled off my fever-sweaty and now slightly slimy shirt to change. I certainly don't want to get my sweater dirty.

2015-09-24 07:55:40

●

She returned shortly, with a mug of tea with ginger,lemon, and honey, as well as bowl of broth in her hand. Almost ignoring him at first, she set them down on the table, then realized what he was doing. "...Do you need me to leave for a few moments?"

2015-09-24 08:00:50

🌀

I noticed her come in as I was digging around for a shirt and turned a bit red. When she looked at me I shook my head quickly and grabbed the first thing I saw, trying to pull it over my head, but I did it too fast and fell back against the bed, dizzy, dropping the fabric on the floor. Shit. Uh. Nnh.

2015-09-24 08:04:09

●

She sighed. "Seculus." She reached out and touched his shoulder. "I live in a house of three other men, and every one of my friends is male bodied. There is /nothing/ to be embarrassed about if I see you shirtless."

2015-09-24 08:06:18

🌀

There was an itching in my scars, just beneath her hand. I rubbed my arms and reached for the shirt again, blush not fading by much. It doesn't matter if she's used to it from other people, I'm uncomfortable with her seeing /me/ like this.

2015-09-24 08:10:11

●

She removed her hand from him, and looked away. Whatever makes him most comfortable, she guessed. Though there really was nothing about his body to be ashamed about.

2015-09-24 08:14:19

🌀

I looked down at the multiplying scars on my wrists and pulled my sleeves down over them. She'd worry. The shirt I'd grabbed appeared to just be a blue graphic tee with a depiction of rain on it. Something I picked up at a thrift store, probably.

2015-09-24 08:17:41

●

She waited a few moments before looking back at him. That was cute. "The tea will help with your throat, as well as your fever. The broth will help with your sinuses. Hope you like spicy foods." She instructed.

2015-09-24 08:20:34

🌀

Eh? I frowned, but not from anger. How would you possibly make tea spicy? Oh, she was probably talking about the broth. I took the tea and took a sip. ...it'd been a while since I'd had well-made tea. It left an odd aftertaste, and it tasted like there was ginger in here, but all the same. I smiled just a little at her.
