[someone's not been feeling very well lately, and is listlessly playing with some Lego blocks on the kitchen floor. he's fighting rest, and if checking on him one might notice that he's not only burning up with fever, but also has little red blisters starting to spread across his skin. Of course, if you're that close to him you might find yourself in the same predicament in the near future.]



[ooc: anyone who so much as enters the kitchen he's in has a very high chance of catching chickenpox. ♥]

[Well after a while of blindly searching, he just ends up taking Riku to his room. He pulls a rather big shirt over him and tucks him in bed, putting another damp cloth on his forehead.

He's probably not going to sleep tonight. :|]

[is it any consolation that he thinks you're the best Doggie ever? he'll be surprised you actually have a room after finding you sleeping outside though]

[demooning.livejournal.com]

[Why yes, yes it is. Then again, he sort of likes you a lot so it works out either way. As for the room, he just needs a place to stash the clothes he grabs from the closets. And a place to hoard potions too.]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[he's very grateful you're there to watch over him when that fever spikes late in the night, making him both restless and clingy, his eyes slightly glazed as he looks for you]

...Doggie?

[demooning.livejournal.com]

[Sits up straighter from his former slouched position and goes over, checking his forehead. Oh geeze, not good.]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[reaches for you sleepily, feeling much like he did earlier in the day]

[demooning.livejournal.com]

[He changes the cloth, putting a cooler one on his head. He's not exactly sure what to do with fevers, but-]

... How do you feel?

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[closes his eyes because ooh, that feels nice]

'm thirsty.

[demooning.livejournal.com]

[Mkay, goes to get him some water then. He hands it to him carefully, making sure he doesn't drop it.]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[practically gulps it down, though he spills a little when he shivers, the fever making him think it's cold despite the oversized shirt and blanket. when he's done he offers you the empty cup, and attempts to reach for you again in the hopes you'll pick him up]

[demooning.livejournal.com]

[Takes it and puts it on the table next to the bed, sliding into the covers next to him. Then pulls him into his lap, setting his arms around him.]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[freezes briefly in a moment of uncertainty, then buries his face in your chest and tucks himself as close to you as possible, still shivering occasionally from chills]

[demooning.livejournal.com]

[Pulls the blanket around them, keeping him as warm as possible. He's not sure what else he can do, but he'll try to get him to sleep again. ;;]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[it'll be a while before the fever breaks on its own, but when it does he's noticeably relaxing more, drifting into a more restful sleep and dreaming about playing with a great big puppy that looks like you]

[demooning.livejournal.com]

[When he senses him sleeping, he breathes a quiet sigh of relief. This is the first time he's ever taken care of someone so he's feeling pretty accomplished. And since he's sleeping, well. He'll drift off too until Riku wakes up.]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[it's late in the morning when he finally wakes, and there's even more blisters than before covering him now, blisters that he can't help but scratch at because he can't stand it]

[demooning.livejournal.com]

[His scratching wakes him and he grabs his hands to stop him from scratching; picking him up and heading to the bathroom. Time for another oatmeal bath.]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[pouts when you stop his scratching, and pouts even more when he sees where you're headed]

I gotta take another bath?

[demooning.livejournal.com]

It'll help the itching. [Nudges the door open with his foot and sets him down on the counter while he prepares the bath]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[speaking of, he'll be sneaking some scratches in while you're not looking, generally more alert and looking better than he had yesterday]

[demooning.livejournal.com]

[He'll let him by this time. When he's done, he's gesturing for Riku to get in.]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[clambers into the tub, sighing when he sees that once again there are no bubbles]

You forgot the duckie!

[demooning.livejournal.com]

[Digs around for another one and tosses it in]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[he's definitely feeling better this morning, if that tummy rumble while he's playing is any clue. curiosity has him picking out some oatmeal to see if it's edible like the kind in the kitchen]
