ph33r my rod: *is randomly staring out a window, looking at the snow - it looks a lot tamer than it did in his last encounter with it, but he still doesn't quite trust it yet*
Omega19x: *is up and about. Still looking a little ill, but otherwise fine.*
ph33r my rod: *walks over to the couch, grabbing a blanket and wrapping up in it... it was cold standing by that window*
Omega19x: "... hey Malik...'
Omega19x: *weak smile*
ph33r my rod: "Hey. You look like you're feeling a lot better..."
Omega19x: *nod* "... I am..."
ph33r my rod: *smile* "That's good."
Omega19x: "My stomach is still turning a little... but not really too badly."
ph33r my rod: "...so you should be completely fine in the next day or so."
Omega19x: "I'll be on the medicine for another two weeks, but hopefully I'll be feeling a lot better tomorrow."
Omega19x: *smiles at Malik*
ph33r my rod: *smiles back and sits on the couch* "... I'm glad it's something treatable for once."
Omega19x: "That is a nice feeling..."
Omega19x: "A normal person disease... I think Mokuba probably called it..."
ph33r my rod: "It's almost... weird, in a way."
Omega19x: "... I... I could get used to... to things like this... I... think..."
Omega19x: "... as opposed to the shadow disease..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Well... don't go getting sick all the time, okay?"
Omega19x: "... oh, I didn't mean it like that..."
ph33r my rod: "I know, it was just a little joke. But yeah... this kind of stuff as opposed to that is better."
Omega19x: "... c..can I sit down with you?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Sure, go ahead... you don't have to ask."
Omega19x: *nodnod*
Omega19x: *sits down on the couch, leaning into Malik.*
ph33r my rod: *wraps an arm around Ryou and adjusts the blanket, draping it over both of them*
Omega19x: *tummy growls*
ph33r my rod: "...you hungry?"
Omega19x: "...I... I don't really feel like eating... but... but I think my body disagrees..."
ph33r my rod: "You probably should, even if it's just something small. You haven't really eaten much since you've been sick."
Omega19x: "I really should have eaten something before taking the medicine... Taking it on an empty stomach just makes me queasy... but... food didn't look so good an hour ago..."
Omega19x: ".. m..maybe some crackers?"
ph33r my rod: "That would work. It's something..." *stands up, leaving the blanket with Ryou* "I'll go grab some for you."
ph33r my rod: *walks into the kitchen, comes back after a minute with a box of crackers* "...here you go."
Omega19x: "... I... can get it..." *but Malik's already up, and back*
Omega19x: "... th..thank you, Malik..."
Omega19x: *opens the box, and takes out a handful of crackers.*
ph33r my rod: *smiles and sits back down*
Omega19x: *nibbles*
Omega19x: "... thank you..."
ph33r my rod: "No problem." *reaches into the box and takes one out for himself, nibbling*
Omega19x: "the... one of the bad sides of being sick... It... I can hardly eat anything..."
Omega19x: "... at least it isn't cardboard..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "...actually edible, huh."
Omega19x: "... much better than hospital food... or nutrient shakes..."
Omega19x: "... H..have you been out in the snow?" *change of topic*
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "...no, not yet." *is still somewhat wary of it*
Omega19x: "...My yami and I went out and played in it earlier... It was nice..."
Omega19x: "We had snowball fights! And... and we made snow angels! and a snow Malik!"
ph33r my rod: *grins* "I saw the snow me. It's cute."
Omega19x: *smiles* "... My yami won the snowball fight. He got me good..."
ph33r my rod: "Heh..." *lightly tugs on a strand of Ryou's hair* "Next time you should wear all white, you'll be camouflaged."
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: "... he... he tackled me..."
Omega19x: "... he's much faster than I am..."
ph33r my rod: "You didn't let him off without a fight, did you?"
Omega19x: "... I.. I hit him with a couple snowballs..."
Omega19x: ".. the... the falling down kind of... well... knocked me for a little loop... We... we stopped playing after that..."
ph33r my rod: "...ahh. You should try and take it easy, since you're still a little sick..."
Omega19x: "... he... he was worried he hurt me..."
Omega19x: "he didn't."
ph33r my rod: "...just kinda got the wind knocked out of you?"
Omega19x: "... yeah. A little surprised."
Omega19x: "gave me a good shock... h..heart wise..."
ph33r my rod: "But you're fine now, right...?"
Omega19x: "... oh, of course."
Omega19x: "... the... the little machine works like a charm..."
ph33r my rod: *huddles up closer to him* "That's good..."
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: *rests his head on Malik's shoulder*
ph33r my rod: *nuzzles the top of Ryou's head* "I'm glad you're feeling better."
Omega19x: "... Maybe.. I...I can manage to go to work tomorrow."
Omega19x: "I... I really should... I... I don't have anymore sick days..."
ph33r my rod: "Does that mean that if you get sick again, you can't take anymore days off? If you happen to get something contagious..."
Omega19x: "... It... it means that I... if I take off... I can't get paid..."
Omega19x: "Which isn't good..."
ph33r my rod: "...oh."
Omega19x: "If... if I don't get paid... I... I can't pay off any more of the hospital bills, or anything else..."
ph33r my rod: *frowns* "That's not good."
Omega19x: "no... I... I finally got a... a look at what I owe them too..."
ph33r my rod: "... It's a lot?"
Omega19x: "... It's a little over 466,635,000 yen..."
ph33r my rod: *blink blink* "... Holy hell."
Omega19x: "... And that's after my... my parent's trust fund paid for the first month..."
Omega19x: (not too far fetched, after I learned my grandmother's month or so in the hospital landed almost half a million bucks)
ph33r my rod: (( ... @@;; Oi. ))
Omega19x: (sickness ain't cheap. I figure throw in an incurable disease, pay for all the drugs, the everything they tried, the relapses, the everything else... we're looking at almost 4 million US dollars.)
ph33r my rod: (( ... @____@;;; ))
Omega19x: (there, we now have an amount, though. Happy?)
ph33r my rod: (( ...yeah, he's gonna be paying on that for quite some time. ))
Omega19x: (probably until his next life)
Omega19x: "... a... a little hopeles... if... if I can't work..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *nod*
Omega19x: *sigh*
Omega19x: "...and... and the debt seems to get bigger... a lot... from time to time."
ph33r my rod: *wraps his arms around Ryou's waist, gently hugging him* "...that sucks."
Omega19x: "... It... it could be a lot worse..."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, it could..."
Omega19x: "...but... it... it's not important right now... And it's nothing you need to be concerned with... I... I can handle it."
Omega19x: *snuggles next to Malik again, and gets comfortable there*
ph33r my rod: "...okay." *reaches up, lightly petting his hair*
Omega19x: "as long as you're here... Everything will be all right..." *smiles*
ph33r my rod: *smiles back and kisses the top of his head*
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: (and I should probably call it a night. I do have work in the morning.)
ph33r my rod: (( Alrighty. ))
