Because I just got mine out and my mouth is in uber pain and I'm still updating... I must really love In the Heights...
Lincoln was refusing to come out of his room, and Nina couldn't help but think he was being silly. It had been nearly five days since his surgery, and she thought he looked fine. Lincoln, however, insisted that he was still swollen and bruised and told Nina that he couldn't possibly let anyone see him in that state.
"Lincoln, I'm serious, you need to come out!" Nina pounded on her brother's locked door. "Benny and Usnavi are coming over and I'm not making excuses for you!" She heard a soft moan on the other side of the door followed by a grunt. That meant that Lincoln did not care what she had to say; he was not coming out.
"Everyone says you look fine and your healing time was only three days," Nina reminded him crossly, folding her arms over her chest. "It's been five." Sighing heavily and dramatically, Nina made a big deal out of walking to the door when she heard a knock on the other end, trying to entice Lincoln into coming out.
"Still holed away in his room?" Benny asked when Nina opened the door. She nodded and Benny, winking, walked in and began banging on Lincoln's door. "Link, buddy, I am not moving until you open this door! I'm dead serious! I'll get Usnavi and Sonny and Vanessa to all come up here and we'll bang on the door until it breaks. Hear me? Get out of your–"
The door swung open and Benny just barely managed to stop his fist from knocking Lincoln square in the face. Nina giggled at the shocked looks on both boys' faces and had to press a hand over her mouth as she watched Lincoln's face turn red.
"Happy?" Lincoln raised his arms sarcastically, smirking. Benny slung an arm around his shoulders, saying, "Very."
"Just wait 'till you get your wisdom teeth out," Lincoln grumbled as Benny swept him out the door, putting his other arm around Nina and brining her along too. "You won't want to go anywhere looking like a chipmunk either."
