The battle had been intense for everyone but even more with Keith. The Voltron Captain had gone out and faught even though he had a fever. He'd gotten past Nanny and into his Lion before the old lady could stop him. The cockpit was cold from the chilly weather. After he got used to breathing in 20 degree weather everything was fine. Keith just wished that his Voltron suit was thermal. He vagualy remembered Allura appearing on his com and asking him what he was doing out in this weather with his fever.
What should he tell her? He was ok. Right? Just a fever. He's had fevers before. No big deal. Keith soon found that not all was ok. The slightest movement off balance had Keith reeling and gripping the arm rests of his chair until his knuckles cramped. It was a good think he hadn't eaten anything since two days ago or he'd have thrown it all up.
The fight was a blur and he just remmebered giving orders. After that he didn't remember a thing. Keith woke up though in Hunk's arms. He glanced around confused and noticed Hunk was carrying him back from his lion. "Put me down." Keith mumbled slightly incoherently. Alright, that was embarrassing. How come his voice was messed up? Hunk just glanced down at him then shook his head leaving Keith to sulk in silence. After he laid there for a moment he started to feel his arms and legs- they were shaking.
"Vhat did I tell him? Hm? Hmph!" Nanny hovered over him growling. "Ve never listens!"
Keith groaned and clung to Hunk hoping he could get away. She sounded like a drunk Sven gone half way female. Or he thought she was a woman- she was wearing a dress. With his fever clogged brain the thought of this crazy old hag actually being Sven in a dress came to him many times and he found himself laughing at that thought getting worried glances from everyone else.
"He's gone crazy." Lance retorted raising his eye brows at his friend. "Maybe Nanny drugged him-"
"Get out of mah sight." Nanny shouted waving her hands towards Lance who started to sprint away. "I told you before, I don't vant to see you in my sight again!"
Lance poked his head around the corner sticking his tongue out. "You're not exactly the prettiest thing on this planet either."
"Nanny, lets worry about Keith first." Allura put a hand on her Nanny's shoulder.
"You're vight of course." The older woman sighed and put a hand to the boy's forehead. "Vell he's burning up but den I'm sure you alveady knew dat. It vas just a cold vut he vent out and dere is no telling vhat it turned into. Take him upstairs and vay him down."
"He hasn't touched any food for nearly three days." Pidge chimed in. "Lance and I have tried to feed him but he always throws it back up."
"This is no cold." Allura said placing her hands on her hips. She stood there in thought then gasped. "Nanny, could he have that..."thing" that I had when I was younger?"
Nanny clicked her tongue thoughtfully, "Vhat the Arusian Flu? It's possible- vut I vould have pinned him to old for dat."
"So it's the flu- no biggie. We have that all over the Galaxy." Hunk shrugged as best he could. Pidge nodding in aggreement.
"Our flu is different from your flu." Nanny reprimended. "It's not to be taken lightly. Ve must keep cool towels and cold baths ready. Allura, be a good girl and go put the coolest sheets on his bed. Then leave him be. Ve don't need you getting sick. From now on, no one but me is to get near Keith."
"You've got to be kidding me." Pidge raised his eye brow.
"'Ave you had the Arusian Flu?" Nanny hovered menancingly.
"No." Pidge squeaked.
"I thought not." She straightened up crossing her arms. "Den I don't vant a word. Take him upstairs den leave him to me."
