► Post with your character, name and fandom in the header.
► They are now, for some odd reason, sick (headache, fever, runny nose, cough, whatever you want).
► Another character replies and is struck with the sudden urge to take care of them (bringing them soup, extra blankets, Sudafed, sexual healing, what have you).
► Go from there!

[He still hates that. He doesn't like feeling trapped by that shit.

And he still loves you! Wonder of wonders.]

Wave it in my face, why don't you.

[everymanhashisprice]

I don't mean to... [he's tired, which makes him more inclined to slip into a calm seriousness.]

... yah really don't mind, I hope... what I have yah do.

[itdoesntmeananything]

I just... don't like the feeling of being trapped in it.

[everymanhashisprice]

I know... that's why I insisted on you going to school, after all...

[itdoesntmeananything]

Yeah, but it just adds to the debt.

[everymanhashisprice]

Until you get a better job than busboy... [you will never outgrow personal hooker, though]

[itdoesntmeananything]

Once I graduate, it should be fine.

[everymanhashisprice]

And then... you can leave here with a degree and without debt, huh? [he'll pet your bangs]

... but yah gotta come visit me...

[itdoesntmeananything]

At the very least, I will. I'll go where job opportunity is best.

[He's amused that you're petting him, as sick as you are.]

Do you need any medicine.

[everymanhashisprice]

I guess I can visit you... [pet pet]

Mm... no, gotta get the booze out of my system first... [he's at least smart enough to not mix booze and meds]

[itdoesntmeananything]

How about that soup I promised before?

[everymanhashisprice]

I'd like that, kid... [his throat was still ragged, sonething warn would be nice]

[itdoesntmeananything]

[He gets up, and leaves. It's a little while before he comes back with the soup in hand.

Spoilers: he made it himself. It's kind of bland because he didn't want to put a lot of salt in it.]

[everymanhashisprice]

[Bland is fine by Brandson, he could hardly taste at the moment anyways, so he'll just enjoy it for the warm of it.]

Thanks, kid...

[itdoesntmeananything]

Yeah. Take it easy, alright? Do you need anything else?

[everymanhashisprice]

... not that I can think of, kid... [mmm soup]

Don't you have class today, kid?

[itdoesntmeananything]

It's just a test.

[Lying liar.]

[everymanhashisprice]

You can't miss a test..!

[itdoesntmeananything]

I already scheduled to retake it. Don't worry about it.

[everymanhashisprice]

... yah shouldn't do that... make things harder for yourself, because me...

[itdoesntmeananything]

...Don't look at me like that.

[everymanhashisprice]

Hey, I wanna make things easier for yah, Ben... don't use your sick days because I'm sick... [though he loved you taking care of and doting on him, he didn't want you to resent it]

[itdoesntmeananything]

I'm never sick. And I didn't use any sick days yet, since I had a doctor's letter.

[everymanhashisprice]

Never sick, what about when you got stabbed, huh? You couldn't go to school for a week....

[itdoesntmeananything]

I had the doctor's letter from that, too. They don't count getting stabbed as being sick so they just sent the work to my email and I did it here.

[Which is why you had to yell at him to stop slouching at the desk a zillion times those weeks.]
