RULES
► 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 curls almost instantly back into the blankets, into the warmth and the security, but he's still sobbing for a minute, buried in one of his pillows and choking on his own snot and saliva.]

[He coughs, and with one hand tries to rub the stupid miserable tears off of his face while he reaches out and curls his fingers around Karkat's with the other.]

O-oh my God, Karkat. How many times do I have to tell you I'm not dying. I feel like I am, but it's just a really nasty cold. [He tries to sniff, because he's still crying a little, but it just makes him cough again and he shakes his head, smiling somehow.]

[He squeezes Karkat's fingers.]

And I am a jerk. Because I yelled at you, when you're just worried and trying to help. But you know what?

[Twines their fingers through his fevered haze.]

You're special too.

[threshprinceoffuckyou]

Excuuuuuuse me if I'm skeptical with your dangerously high body temperature and your lapses of fitful coughing! That's not a very good argument, John!

[ He squeezes John's hand tighter. ]

[ Resists. Urge. To kiss. ]

I'm glad we have, uh, that established.

[ofbreath]

It's not that dangerous, I don't think. If you're that worried there's probably a thermometer in the bathroom drawer, I could tell you how not-life-threatening my fever is.

[Squeezes back, oblivious to the desired urge to kiss.]

...yeah. You're kind of my favorite roommate. Only, right now, but definitely the best I've ever had. Nobody else nearly starts crying over an argument about soup I just threw up.

We are so retarded, man.

[threshprinceoffuckyou]

I'll get it later. [ Because they're holding hands, okay. Wow, Vantas, how pathetic can you be. ]

SHUT UP, WE ARE NEVER GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT EVER AGAIN.

Augh, yeah, I always feel my think pan regress when I'm around you. Your stupidity is infectious.

[ofbreath]

Okay. [No, John's pretty okay with this too.]

...haha, okay.

Geez, rude.

[threshprinceoffuckyou]

Look at all the fucks I'm giving!

Move.

[ He gestures for John to move, then lies down next to him again. He doesn't untangle their hands. Because fuck you, is why. ]

[ofbreath]

I see so many fucks. They're just invisible and camouflaged with their surroundings. Ninja fucks, maybe.

[He sort of wiggles awkwardly, and smiles a bit, leaning back against Karkat once he's lying down with him.]

...thanks, Karkat.
