Chapter 10 Sick days

Quanktumspirit: "Please review."

On this day, Heinz Doofenshmirtz was sitting at home. He was holding his head as his nose was running.

"G... g... Great... I have just started my relationship with P... P... PERRY... hatue... The Platypus and I am now... S... Sitting sick in bed," Heinz complained.

He got another tissue and blew in his nose. Just then his phone rang, Heinz rolled his eyes as he recognized the OWCA's phone number.

"Hello... h... h... HATUE!" Heinz went and then blew in his nose.

"Dr Heinz Doofenshmirtz? It's almost 8 AM and you haven't done anything suspicious online yet. Are you going to be doing something bad today?" Carl asked over the phone.

Heinz rolled his eyes, "N... No Carl. I... HATUE... I caught the flu and I'm very sick. Just... t... Tell Perry the Platypus he can have... hatue... Another day off. I don't... hatue... Feel like doing something evil today."

"Ok, if you say so," Carl said. "And get better soon, Dr Doofenshmirtz."

"I'll try," Heinz said as he cleaned his nose.

Heinz hung the phone back up and filled a bowl full of boiling hot water, he hung his head over it and sighed.

"I'm really in a pickle." Heinz sighed as he tried to stop shaking.

With Perry the Platypus.

Perry was having a lovely dream of dancing with Heinz at a ball. He hummed quietly to himself, just then his watch on his wrist rang.

Perry blinked and looked around the room, Phineas and Ferb were outside, apparently, Perry nodded and answered the call.

"Yes?" He asked in his platypus language.

"Agent Perry the Platypus, today you have another day off. Dr Heinz Doofenshmirtz has signed himself off for today. He is sick at home with serious flu. So have a nice day today," MM said and got off the phone.

Now, had Perry had not this emotional turmoil in his heart about Heinz Doofenshmirtz, then he would have ignored such a statement and enjoyed having a day off. However, now that he has fallen for Heinz, his caring side shot through.

Without asking MM for permission, Perry left the house again, he jumped onto his motorbike, strapped his helmet on and drove down to Heinz's apartment.

A short while later he reached the house, parked his bike up and walked the stairs up to Heinz's home. He pulled his spare key out and opened the door.

No one was in the living room as Perry worked out, but he heard someone in Heinz's bedroom.

"H... H... HATUE!" Perry heard.

Perry followed the sneezing sound and came face to face with his 'friend' Heinz Doofenshmirtz. Heinz was still in his PJ's, with an empty box of tissues on his chest. Heinz shook as he tried cleaning his long nose.

Perry activated his speaking chip again, "Heinz, what happened?"

"I... I... HATUE... I'm sick with the flu... A... A... Agent P." Heinz explained and blew into his nose.

Perry could see that.

Quickly, Perry shot out of Heinz's home. He left for the supermarket across the street, using his OWCA allowance he bought his 'boyfriend' some cream, more tissues, chicken soup, and a flu jab.

He walked back to Heinz's home and jumped up onto Heinz's bed. For starters, Perry moved Heinz's top, Heinz Doofenshmirtz blinked and blushed as Perry looked down at his red chest.

"P... Perry what... HATUE... What are you doing?" Heinz asked as he shook.

Perry handed Heinz the cream and instructed him to rub it over his chest. The chemicals in the cream would enter Heinz's body and attack the flu germ, as well as get rid of it.

He then placed the box of tissues next to Heinz's head as well. Then he left the bedroom again.

Heinz did as he was instructed and cleaned his nose again before throwing the used tissue in the bin, which was starting to overflow.

Perry made an eating sign and pointed at Heinz's clock, it is just 2 PM. Heinz understood what he meant, even more so as Perry showed him the tin of chicken soup.

"Hu? Oh no, Perry. I haven't had my lunch yet. Chicken soup? Yummy. But... Do you know how to cook and use an oven?" Heinz asked, concerned that Perry might burn his fingers.

Perry nodded his head. He left Heinz back in his room alone and entered the kitchen. Heinz cleaned his nose again and breathed harder through his nose. He hates the flue so much.

Perry found with no problem the cooking pot, a spoon, and he turned the oven on.

Just then, Norm the Robot man walked in and looked at Perry. Perry found a tin opener, but he had no clue how to use it. He threw the soup tin against the counter in frustration trying to open it.

"Calm down Perry, let me do it," Norm said and caught the tin in his big hand.

Perry nodded and thanked the robotic man. Norm changed his hand to a can opener, placed the rim of the tin in his hand and opened it without a problem. Then he tipped the contents into the pan and handed it back to Perry.

Perry turned the stove onto gas mark 3 and stirred the soup in the pan around, to make sure he won't burn it on the bottom. Norm got another bowl out and a spoon.

"Perry," Norm addressed the Platypus.

Perry looked up for a short while from the meal and looked over to Norm.

"Do you think dad would like some tea as well? I could make him a pot." Norm suggested.

Perry nodded and pointed to the cabinet where Heinz's tea bags were stored away. Norm got the tea bag down, threw one into the teapot, and then filled the kettle up. After it was boiled, he poured the water into the teapot and placed it on the tray.

Perry tasted the soup with a spoon, as he confirmed it was warm enough Perry turned the gas back off, lifted the pot up and poured the soup into the bowl waiting for it.

Norm nodded and lifted the tray up. Perry placed the pot into the sink and fished out of the draw a spoon.

"Perry." Norm was about to address the platypus as he saw Perry wanted to clean up. "Don't worry about the cleaning. I'll clean the pot up. And you get the soup and tea up to my father, please."

Perry blinked, but nodded. He lifted the tray and walked the meal carefully upstairs to Heinz's bedroom. Norm smirked to himself, things were going to be intense.

Upstairs Heinz Doofenshmirtz was still sneezing, he shook in his bed and wanted nothing more to do than to just die.

"I swear I will invent some form of -inator that will exterminate all known diseases. This is a disaster," Heinz complained and shook in his sheets.

Just then he heard a calming chatter, Heinz looked up and saw Perry was just walking in with a bowl full of chicken soup and a cup of hot tea.

"P... Perry? I thought you left back home." Heinz asked, surprised that Perry was really here.

Perry shook his head and motioned for Heinz to clean his bedside table a bit up. Heinz moved several books out of the way so that Perry could place the tray on it.

He saw that on the tray was a bowl full of a creamy substance and a teacup full of tea. Heinz raised an eyebrow, and Perry handed Heinz the tea first.

He nodded and drank from it, he sighed, his sore throat was not getting better, but it was ok. Then he picked up a spoon and the bowl full of chicken soup. He tasted it and scrunched his nose up.

"Yuck, threw a blocked nose, you can't taste much. Bleach," Heinz complained.

Perry rolled his eyes and ran back downstairs, a short while later he came back with salt and pepper. Heinz added the herbs to his soup and found it to be just as bland tasting had he not added the salt and pepper to it.

But still, yuck. Heinz finished the soup and tea, Perry picked the empty cups and dishes up and walked with them back downstairs.

He washed up and placed them away, then he walked back upstairs with a hot bowl full of boiling water, Heinz leaned over the bowl and tried to sweat the cold out of him.

The time was running away from the two. After taking care of Heinz for over 7 hours, Perry signed to Heinz that he had to go home.

Heinz nodded, "I'll cope, Perry. And hopefully tomorrow I will be better."

Perry nodded and handed Heinz then a 'Get better soon' card. Heinz smiled and gave the Platypus a hug.

"Thank you so much, Perry. And if I am not well tomorrow, then you can have another day off," Heinz suggested.

Perry nodded, he hoped that wouldn't be the case, but he couldn't change how Heinz was feeling at the moment. He gave Heinz one last hug before returning home.

Heinz leaned back into his bed and fell asleep. Downstairs, Norm the Giant Robot man cleaned up the house before retiring to bed as well.

Quanktumspirit blinking at the screen: "Wow, I've written a lot more than I thought I would. Please review."
