Sick day.
Dirk Strider poped his head into his little brothers bedroom and when he saw he was still asleep decided to wake him up. He placed little Cal right beside his face and began to poke him.
"Hey little bro wake up. It's time for school." Dave opened his eyes, saw little Cal and jumped.
"Damnit bro do you have to do this every morning?" Dave asked setting up.
"You would think after all this time you would be used to it. Woah little dude you look like shit." Dirk said observing his brother.
"Well gee thanks." Dave said reaching for his shades.
"No you seriously don't look good are you feeling okay?" He asked reaching out and putting his hand on his little brothers looked paler then usual but his cheeks were red.
"Now that you metion it I don't feel all that great." Dave said floping back down on the bed.
"Okay no school for you today. I guess i'll have to call in for work too." Dirk started to get up but Dave stoped him.
"You don't have to do that bro. I'll be fine here by myself." Dirk smirked.
"No I do have to stay here because someone has to make you get better. Besides if I leave you'll touch my shit. You know I hate it when you do that." With that he left and Dave heard him in the other room telling his boss he would have to take care of his poor helpless baby brother. Dave rolled his eyes. Dirk came back in the room looking pleased with himself.
"So little bro are you hungry?" Dirk asked putting his hands on his hips.
"Kinda." He said still feeling lame that his brother had to stay and watch over him.
"Okay i'll see what we have." Dirk said leaveing the room again.
"Not much." Dave said in what he thought was a low voice. Dirk must have heard him though because he came back with Cal.
"Here little Cal can keep you company while I'm gone." Dirk layed Cal right on top of Dave's chest.
"Fuck." Dave said to the ceiling ignoring the eyes of the creepy puppet. About twenty minutes later Dirk came back.
"Here the finest that the Strider household has to offer." Dirk said handing Dave a bowl of soup and setting a glass of orange juice on his bedside table.
"So a can of soup and orange juice?" Dave asked setting up.
"That's right." Dirk said crossing his arms.
"Can't I have apple juice?" Dave asked.
"No. Not while your sick. Orange juice has Vitamin C and shit. It's good for you." Dirk waited until Dave was done to leave.
"Well you need to sleep so have fun with Cal." He said waiting to leave. Dave grabed his shirt sleeve.
"Uh can you stay here with me like you used to when I was little?" Dave asked a little embarrassed. Dirk shrugged and got under the blankets with Dave. At first Dave was being stubborn and just kept to himself then when Dirk put his arm around him he put his head on Dirk's chest.
"Hey bro," Dave said yawning. "I love you."
"Yeah I love you too little bro." Dirk said taken back by his brothers comment. They stayed like that the rest of the day.
