Sick as a dog....

Who: Riku and Sora
When: A few hours after Riku's fight with Roxas.
Style: Action~
Status: Closed.

[ Sora was laying in bed, his head was pounding and it felt both hot and cold in the room at the same time. He was wrapped tightly under his blankets and he'd heard the sound of Riku leaving and the dogs barking but his head had hurt to much to try and really comprehend what was going on.

It was rare for him to get sick but sick he was. It may have been the snow that did it, or it could have been part of the curse that seemed to be going around. Either way he was one miserable hero of light. ]

[ It had taken him a while to drag himself back to the place he shared with Sora. He's sore and wet, still unsure about everything that happened (and why it had happened in the first place). Riku immediately changes his clothes when he comes in, ignoring the dogs' greeting until he's more dry and smelling less like the pond. Only then does he placate the animals with an affectionate rub behind the ears before slipping into Sora's room to check on him.

He feels how hot it is in there almost immediately, but it might be the lingering effects of being cold. He leans over him. ]

You awake? How do you feel?

[ Sora groaned as he rolled over to look at Riku. His cheeks were flushed red and even his eyes had a tinge of pink to the edges. ]

Riku...[ Sora's voice came out in a whine. ]

Everything still hurts.

That's what you get for running around without a coat on. [ He's teasing though, and after a second, he sits on the edge of the bed. ] ...want me to get you anything?

[ Sora tried to frown up at Riku but it didn't really work well. He shook his head though the truth of the matter was that Sora really hadn't eaten much of anything the past few days and he needed to eat something. ]

[ Riku gives him a sigh, idly pulling at the blanket and trying to draw it up more around his friend. He knows better than to believe that anyway. ]

Think you could eat? Maybe there's some soup...

[ Because he's not going to attempt much else that requires a lot of cooking. It's not a skill he's proficient at, unfortunately. ]

[ Sora squirmed back a bit against the bed so he was sitting up. ]

I think I can.

[ His stomach felt queasy still but something light like soup shouldn't be too bad, right? ]

Okay. Hang on.

[ Riku's off the bed before Sora can even protest, venturing into the kitchen to find something. When he finally comes back, there's warmed soup in a cup. Because he definitely doesn't trust Sora enough with a spoon right now.

...and he suddenly wishes Kairi was here to help with this sort of thing. ]

It might be hot. Don't drink it all at once.

[ Sora nodded and took the soup into his hands. He held it under his nose a bit to try and clear up the stuffed up feeling so he could breath again. ]

This sucks.

[ Really he didn't have a better word for it. He hadn't felt this sick since he was a little kid and ended up with the chicken pox. ]

Something like a cold isn't gonna take you down. You're stronger than that.

[ He sits again, making sure Sora doesn't drop or flip the cup so hot soup ends up all over him. Riku pushes at his hair, the dampness making the back of his neck itch. He tries not to think about it though. Or the fact he's beginning to ache a little.

A gentle poke into the blankets at his side. ]

It'll get better.

[ Sora shifted a bit at the poke, but he managed not to drop the cup. He blew on it softly and brought it up to his lips to sip at the broth. ]

I know, but it hurts now.

[ And he'd definitely tried using curaga and was very disappointed that it hadn't worked and had only left him feeling weaker. Wasn't magic supposed to help? ]

I can find more of that medicine if you think it'd help. [ Okay, so maybe he's being a bit of a brat now. But he thinks Sora deserves some of it for whining so much. ]

Come on. You just need to rest.

[ Sora made a face. ]

I don't want to take that stuff anymore, it's not helping.

[ At least that's how he felt about it, and he had every right to complain! He took another big sip of soup. ]

You're only saying that because you don't like it. Hey— [ Oh yeah. He sees right through you, buddy. And then he reaches over to try taking the cup from him. ]

Take it easy, Sora.

Ah, hey!

[ Riku took the cup just as the heat was starting to really hit his tongue from the depths of the cup. He pouted a bit but who could take him seriously when his cheeks were that rosy? ]

Riku give that back!

[ He reached out for the cup. ]

I'm fine I know how to eat soup!

[ He holds it away from him where he obviously can't reach it. ]

No way. You're gonna get it everywhere drinking it like that, and I'd have to clean it up.

Riku I'm not a baby!

[ Though he's acting a little like one. ]

I don't believe you.

[ He's teasing him now, arm sliding around his shoulders to drag him in close. Odd how he's not worried about catching whatever it is he's got, but it's a little too late to think about that now. With the cup in his other hand, he can't rub his knuckles over Sora's head. So, he's content enough with making him suffer this way instead. ]

Riku!

[ Sora screeched the other boys name as he was pulled down. He wasn't thinking about how Riku couldn't give him a noogie just that this was usually where things started. He reached up to push at Riku's chest to get away from the older boy though there was a grin now on his face. ]

Knock it off!

Okay, okay.

[ He's smiling a little. At least, until he tries to pull away from him. When his arm doesn't really budge from around Sora's shoulders, Riku frowns. ] ...you can let go now.

[ Sora's eyes widened in shock. He tried to pull his hands away from Riku's chest but....]

I-I'm not...

[ Oh no...oh no, oh no, oh no not this again! ]

Ack! Riku! [ Sora pulled against Riku's chest hard as he tried to lean back away from the silver-haired teen. ]

Wait. [ He pulls a face. Okay. That didn't feel too good. ] Wait. I don't think it's doing any good...

Is this a curse?

[ Sora stared down at his hands on Riku's chest and frowned. At least it wasn't Vanitas again. ]

Yeah...This happened a few weeks ago...

[ Unlike Sora, Riku is kind of looking at the ceiling and wondering how to fix this. ] ...what should we do?

There's nothing we can do. We're going to be stuck like this until the curse lets us go.

[ Really there were worse things. ]

Okay... [ He probably sounds so reluctant about it too. Still holding the cup, Riku leans over - with Sora stuck to him - and sets it on the floor beside the bed. ] I guess we might as well make the best of it.

[ Which means he's camping out. No way is he carrying your heavy butt anywhere, buddy. ]

Whoa! [ Sora cried out as he was moved around. ]

Riku you're going to get sick!

[ As if they had a choice in any of this. ]

If I was gonna get sick, it would have happened already. [ He moves a little, using his free hand to scoot further onto the bed. ] Come on. I need your help to make this work.

[ Sora made a face, but he did as Riku asked. He shifted back and pulled with his hand since he was already stuck to Riku anyway. At least there was enough room, but this of course meant a cat or two would be out of a bed for awhile. ]

...Riku...

[ And that's when Sora noticed something. There was an odd smell to Riku's hair and skin, besides that his hair was still a little damp. ]

Riku why's your hair wet?

[ He literally freezes up for a second, and then, when he relaxes, he drops his head into the pillow. Don't mind him making himself as comfortable as he can despite the fact Sora is stuck to him. At least it's not too awkward... ]

Don't worry about it, Sora. You need to sleep.

[ Sora frowned. With a reaction like that it was exactly something he needed to worry about it. Despite them already being stuck so close together he leaned in a bit further and took in a deep breath of his best friends smell. ]

But you don't smell like you've come out of the shower. You smell...murky.

[ He should know that Sora isn't going to leave it alone until he tells him something convincing, but Riku doesn't feel like being too terribly in-depth with his explanation. He goes to push him away but remembers that if he does, they'll end up stuck like that too. So, he sighs. ]

I was outside for a while. [ He closes his eyes. ] I'll do something about it when we're not stuck together, okay?

Outside?

[ Sora frowned. It was cold outside and Riku was wet. What could he have been doing outside? That would have been one helluva snow ball fight! ]

But...It's not that I mind...

[ And really he didn't. Sora was just concerned. ]
