Omega19x: *Ryou rolls over, waking up from his nap*
ph33r my rod: "...nnf."
ph33r my rod: *lifts head from pillow*
Omega19x: "... h..hey..."
Omega19x: *cough*
ph33r my rod: "...hey." *sniffle*
Omega19x: "... how you feeling?"
ph33r my rod: "I feel like my nose has been stuffed with cotton, but other than that, decent."
Omega19x: *nasty string of coughing*
Omega19x: "... I feel terrible..."
ph33r my rod: *drapes an arm over Ryou* "...wish I could do something."
Omega19x: "...no.. it's... it's my fault for... for running out in the snow like that..."
Omega19x: *you notice Ryou feels quite warm*
ph33r my rod: *is a little too out-of-it to realize it might be a fever* "...you're warm." *edges closer, as he's still feeling quite cold*
Omega19x: "... no...It's... it's cold in here..." *shivers*
ph33r my rod: "...uh?" *blinks*
Omega19x: *coughs, and pulls the blanket over him a little more*
ph33r my rod: "..." *feels Ryou's forehead*
Omega19x: *groans a little*
ph33r my rod: *sits up* "...okay, you're more than warm." *thinks for a moment* "I'll be right back..."
ph33r my rod: *gets up and walks into the bathroom, comes back with a thermometer* "...here, open up."
Omega19x: (hold on just a sec. the movie's ending. And I love this part!)
ph33r my rod: (( Eep, kay ))
Omega19x: (back)
ph33r my rod: (( WB~ ))
Omega19x: *thermometer should be done by now, real time, without lapse*
ph33r my rod: *looks at it* "..."
Omega19x: "...hm?"
Omega19x: *coughs*
ph33r my rod: (( Safe to assume it's quite high? ))
Omega19x: (eh, not shadow disease high.)
ph33r my rod: (( Well, duh. XD But still enough to count for something. ))
Omega19x: (yes)
ph33r my rod: "..." *gets up again and goes back into the bathroom, comes back a few moments later with a cool damn washcloth, gently places it on Ryou's forehead*
Omega19x: "...?" *blinks*
Omega19x: "... I'm... f..fine..." *cough*
Omega19x: "... and... th..that's cold..."
ph33r my rod: "...you've got a bit of a fever. Not really bad, but..."
Omega19x: *shivers*
ph33r my rod: *gently strokes his hair* "I know it's cold, but it'll help bring it down some..."
Omega19x: "... well... on the bright side, I... I finished the medicine for the parasite this morning... Just so I could get sick with something else..."
Omega19x: *groans*
Omega19x: "... w..wait... that's not... not bright, is it..." *coughing*
ph33r my rod: "..." *sighs and lays down beside him* "At least this time it's something relatively easy to treat."
Omega19x: "... y...yeah... I guess so..."
Omega19x: "... I wish I would stop coughing... it... it makes my chest hurt..."
Omega19x: *followed, of course, by more coughing*
ph33r my rod: *sniffs back what sounds like a considerable amount of phlegm* "...I could give you some more of that cough and cold medicine, if that helped any."
Omega19x: *groans* "... it... it helped a little... I... I guess... You should take some too... You sound so stuffy..."
ph33r my rod: *sits up, sniff* "...'kay." *luckily, Isis left the medicine on the nightstand with a bag of plastic spoons* "Here..." *fills a spoon up and holds it out to Ryou*
Omega19x: *sits up slowly, and takes it*
ph33r my rod: *fills another spoon, takes some himself*
Omega19x: *gulp*
ph33r my rod: *lays back down* "...mmf."
Omega19x: *falls back onto the pillow, wincing and groaning*
Omega19x: "... why is it... the... the little infections feel... just as lousy as the big ones sometimes?"
Omega19x: (cuz we all know they do.)
ph33r my rod: *sighs and reaches out, taking Ryou's hand* "...one of the few mysteries of life."
Omega19x: *covers his mouth with the other as he coughs nastilly*
Omega19x: "...ug..."
ph33r my rod: *gives his hand a light squeeze* "...if we just keep resting, taking medicine, and all of that... we should be better in a few days." *sniff*
Omega19x: "... th..that will be nice..."
Omega19x: "... do... do you think I should go in and see my... my boss?"
ph33r my rod: *groan* "...wait until you get better. If you go in while you're still sick, he'll flip out and probably run all kinda of tests on you."
Omega19x: "... I... I should at least call tomorrow... and say I can't come in... so Isis can plug the phone back in..."
Omega19x: "He's probably filled up the entire tape..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Probably. Try not to tell him you're sick, though. That'll just make him want you to come in more."
Omega19x: "... Is... is it bad when you get sick... and you try to avoid your doctor?"
Omega19x: "and only see him when you're well again?"
ph33r my rod: "...uh huh. 's probably not a good idea for him to do all sorts of tests when you're sick."
Omega19x: "... it'll just make him want to run more..."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "... even though all he really would need is one blood sample... to... to prove I don't have the shadow disease again... He always wants more."
ph33r my rod: "..." *gives Ryou's hand another squeeze* "Sorry you have to put up with that."
Omega19x: "... if... if Seto really does come through... I... I won't have to put up with him much longer... And I can leave."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: *cough* "That will be nice..."
Omega19x: "... I could go to another doctor..."
ph33r my rod: "... You're right, that isn't the only hospital in Domino City..."
Omega19x: "maybe one who's interested in more than just getting his name in the medical journals..."
Omega19x: *sigh* "... but it is the best one..."
Omega19x: "...for... for someone like me, anyway..."
Omega19x: *cough cough cough*
ph33r my rod: "...it is another option, though. It may not be a better hospital, but at least they might treat you better."
Omega19x: *weak nod*
Omega19x: "... you're lucky... Dr. Shogi wants to see me in there... if... if I have even the slightest... twinge..."
