Warnings: Reno POV
AN: Halfway through, now, guys. I think this may be it for Competition for tonight. I'm feeling the need to work on another story, so...after this will be another short plot bunny and I'll go back to working on the bigger projects again. :3
Age Four: Savior
So, I stayed home from work today. Of course, that means that I get to stay home with a sick four year old passed out on my chest. This doesn't help my own sickness, I know it. Sighing a little, I rub at my eyes and glance at the clock on the wall. Rude left at 6:30 am. It is now 6:45 am and I want him to come back home right now. He said this would be a perfect way for us to bond. I don't think so.
"I fucking hate you, you piece of shit. Taking all of his love away from me, making me spend thenights alone, and then you think you're able to cling to me like I'm your mother or some fucked up shit like that. Start calling me that and I'll be pissed. How can you sleep through this? I bet you like the rumble in my chest because of Rude, huh? Yeah, that's why I like it, too. God, why do you have to drool everywhere? This is my favorite shirt, you know. Well, favorite shirt that Rude makes me wear to bed now that you're old enough to come in and see us if we're naked." I sigh a little, growling. "Wake the fuck up and get the fuck off of me, or I'm going to bash your head in." I feel my body temperature sky-rocketing, but I don't care.
I keep on going and yelling and screaming until the last thing I remember is his head lifting right as my eyes close.
When I awake I find myself laying uncomfortably with a stick in my arm. I crack open blue eyes to look at it, and notice an IV. Upon further opening my eyes, I realize that there's this blinding white light everywhere and that the whole room seems white. I'm even dressed in white. When a bald-headed angel peeks over me, I vaguely wonder if I died and went to heaven.
"R-rude...?" I cough, confused.
"Suguru saved you today."
"H-huh?" I close one eye and sat up a little, shielding my eyes from the white light facing my bed. "What...what do you mean?"
"He told me you went to sleep right when he woke up, and he tried to wake you up but he couldn't. So he called me and told me what was going on and I came to get you both and rushed you here. Turns out your little flu you were complaining about was the Swine Flu. And that was only a little bit of your problem; here, this is for you, from Rufus." He hands me a big bottle of rum.
"Huh?"
"You're so confused.." He rubs a hand through my hair. "Mm...your alcohol addiction...your body needs it to survive, now, and...you haven't had any today. Also, you were dehydrated so bad they couldn't take blood from you for an hour without the IV..."
"So...I'm dying?"
"No, we caught it early enough, you should make a full recovery. Aren't you glad you had Su around?"
"Where is he now?"
"He's with Vincent..."
"Yes, I'm glad he was around." I smile, leaning up to kiss him.
"Uh, uh, uh, Mr. Contagious. I'm not catching this, too. I may stay in here with you until you're able to leave, but I refuse to catch this stupid sickness, too."
AN: Alright, there we go! Half-way through! Just wait, guys, you'll love it. :3
