Shut up... everybody gets the flu... [drinker or smoker or not!]

[itdoesntmeananything]

I've never had the flu.

[Hah! Something he can boast about, for once.]

[everymanhashisprice]

Because that damn shot works for you... [only vaccine's that worked for Brandson were the STD ones]

[itdoesntmeananything]

It comes in a nasal mist, now.

[everymanhashisprice]

I'm not shooting flu up my nose...

[itdoesntmeananything]

And that's why you're where you are right now.

[everymanhashisprice]

My body's not meant for that shit... [it interfered with the blood in his alcohol system]

[itdoesntmeananything]

Well, next year, let's get you a real flu shot. Or mist, if you have to.

Better to do it with the controlled strain of the virus that won't kill you, like this one might.

[everymanhashisprice]

I'm not gonna die, don't try to scare me.

[itdoesntmeananything]

You're not, but if you keep getting sick like this, your body is going to wear out way too fast. You don't want a lifespan of only 40 years, do you?

[everymanhashisprice]

I won't ever have to be old, that way... [he doesn't really mean it, but his tone is more bland with the holding back of coughing]

[itdoesntmeananything]

[Bland or not, that feels a lot worse than getting stabbed in the ribs for you. But he does try to blow it off.]

...That's a shame. I'd miss you.

[everymanhashisprice]

Hah... doubtful... by then, you'd be even more sick of me... [a joke, though he wasn't sure if you were being serious by that odd expression you had]

[itdoesntmeananything]

You're such a part of my routine that it's strange to imagine not having you in it.

[That and he loves you, but.]

[everymanhashisprice]

Not sure I like being considered... a routine...

[itdoesntmeananything]

Well, coming from me, you should consider it a great compliment.

[Ben likes his damn routines.]

[everymanhashisprice]

... probably the best I could get...

[itdoesntmeananything]

I don't like to lay it on thick. But at the very least, I do have some respect for you.

[It's part of why your bad behavior drives him nuts.]

[everymanhashisprice]

[Respect was not the word he would expect, in fact, he'll have to laugh]

Hah... hahahaa-- [but it's cut off by a coughing fit to rival bad coughing fits, which he forces into his pillow so it doesn't get on you]

[itdoesntmeananything]

[Oh, you poor thing. Ben rubs Brandson's back to help, somewhat. Or at least comfort him.]

[everymanhashisprice]

[he'll cough himself exhausted, flopping defeated into the pillow to pant his breathe back. He'll just groan sadly.]

... the worst, kid...

[itdoesntmeananything]

Yeah, yeah. Once the flu is done in its attempts to kill you, you can go back to trying to kill yourself.

[everymanhashisprice]

I much prefer the... latter... [he had control over that slow death]

[itdoesntmeananything]

... I was serious, about the missing you thing.

[everymanhashisprice]

.... [he'll take that in, more so than last time]

Yeah... I'd miss yah, too...
