A/A: GAAAAAAH! So sorry it took me so long to update. But I didn't have my laptop with me over the weekend and that's when I was going to do it (I got stuck babysitting) and by the way I know that the characters in this are pretty OOC but I try. And also, I don't think I need to point this out but I'm gonna. Kathryn is an OC. And since juggling school with a fanfiction to write is REALLY hard I might not be updating as often. I've had a really rough week and i just started at a new school. Thank you to people who reviewed, it is very much appreciated and I also want to start doing little one-shot fanfictions. For anyone who likes fruits basket my next one will probably be for that because I'm WAY better at writing that. Sorry I'm talking so much, I just have a lot to say now ON TO THE CHAPTER. :D
It was the morning after your sleepover and you felt like crap. This was made even worse when you ended up running to the bathroom clutching your stomach. you bent over the toilet as you threw up for several minutes. You were definitely sick, you stand up and go down the stairs for a glass of water to see Nepeta and Rose.
"Are you ok, (your name)? You look like you're sick!" Rose says as she crosses the room to me.
"Yeah, I'm sick" You say as you fill up a glass with cold water.
"Oh no, that's terrible!" Nepeta says as she walks over to you.
"I think the best thing for you to do is just get back into bed." Rose says and pushes you back towards the stairs to your room.
"Yeah, we can tell Kathryn that's you're sick and you need to stay home." Nepeta says. Not really wanting to talk you just nod and go up the stairs to your room. You lay down in your bed being too stubborn to take the disgusting tasting cold medicine that you have (and also being too lazy to find it). you drift to sleep until something awakens you. a cold cloth is placed on your head and you look up to see your mother who seems to be sober for once. She's sitting next to you and looks at you in concern.
"hey, mom" You say, surprised that she's here.
"Hi, hon. Just relax for now and I'll make you some soup or something. Kathryn told me that you were sick." She says and stands up.
"Thanks" you mumble as she turns and walks to the door. you grab your phone to see that it's about noon and also noticing you have a few messages. from Dave and Jade.
GG: I heard from Rose and Nepeta that you're sick
SK: Yeah, I feel pretty bad. But my mom is here and she's trying to take care of me. She seems sober.
GG: Aw, that's sweet!
SK: It's unusual for her, but I guess you're right.
GG: so are you feeling any better yet?
SK: A little but not much
GG: Just get some rest, ok?
SK: Ok, I'm gonna answer Dave now.
GG: Bye!
you switch to your chat with Dave
TG: Rose said you were sick, you ok?
SK: How sweet of you to be concerned
TG: I was just wanting to know if you're ok.
SK: no, I'm dying slowly and painfully because of a little cold. I don't have much time left.
TG: That's not funny.
SK: Yes, I'm ok. I've definitely felt better though.
TG: John is sitting next to me asking a thousand questions to see if you're ok.
SK: Why doesn't he just message me?
TG: I took his phone away from him
SK: Why'd you do that?
TG: To spare you the annoyance of his questions.
SK: Again, sweet.
TG: whatever,
SK: My mom is actually sober and trying to take care of me
TG: are you sure someone hasn't kidnapped your mom and replaced her with an identical person?
SK: That would be entirely possible if it weren't for the fact that this isn't a movie
TG: True, very true
SK: There is nothing more boring than being sick and having nothing to do.
TG: There is a lot of things more boring than that! But I think I can help with your boredom.
SK: How?
TG: I'm going to come over and visit you, then at least you won't be alone.
SK: The sweetness is too much!
TG: Ok, fine I'll take back my offer
SK: No!
TG: Well, I need to go and you need to rest, so I'll come by after school.
SK: Ok, bye.
You put your phone down and hear a knock at your door.
"Come in" You say and your mother crosses the room to you with a bowl of chicken noodle soup, a glass of water, and cold medicine. She hands you the bowl and smiles at you.
"Here, you might want to take this as well" She says and takes the small plastic cup and fills it with the medicine before handing it to you. you swallow it quickly and take the water to get the terrible taste out of your mouth.
"Thanks, mom" You say and you start eating the soup that your mother had made for you. After eating you fall asleep again hoping not to wake up until Dave gets here. It's pretty boring being alone. You wake up a few minutes before your last class should end and sit up in your bed feeling a little bit better. You stand up and see that on your dresser there is a note:
Had to go to work, I hope you feel better soon.
love mom.
You place the note back down and grab your controller to your PlayStation 3 and slide your Skyrim disk in. You wait for it to load then you start the game hoping it will distract you while you wait for Dave. You go spawn at a random point and fast travel to the closest city which happens to be Whiterun (A/N: If you don't know anything about Skyrim then I'm sorry. But the only thing you'll need to know is who Lydia is so just google it) Being that you have a house here and that Lydia is there right now you go to get her. you push X and she starts talking to you.
"Honored to see you, my thane" The npc asks. You hover over the options. you hit X on the text that says "follow me"
"As you wish, my thane" Lydia replies. Lydia may be an annoying npc but she is easy to find for a follower. You go to a random cave and as you enter Lydia speaks again.
"I have a bad feeling about this" Your follower says in a nervous tone.
"Shut up, Lydia" You growl in annoyance at the TV. You enter the cave and fight a few mages who weren't that difficult to beat with your strong weapons. You take there armor and weapons to sell later and realize you're carrying too much. you click on Lydia and go over the option to trade.
"I am sworn to carry your burdens" Lydia says
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, LYDIA!" You scream at the TV not caring how crazy you seem.
"So you yell at video games even though you know they can't hear you?" You hear someone laugh from behind you. You turn to see Dave leaning up against the doorframe.
"How did you get inside?" You ask while purposely ignoring his question.
"I was out there for 10 minutes knocking and the door was unlocked so I came in to make sure you were ok." Dave shrugged and walked towards you
"Well I can't say I'm fine but I'm not dead….yet" You say in an unenthusiastic tone. Being sick is obviously a pain in the ass no matter how much Skyrim you get to play!
"Well at least you're not alone anymore" Dave said.
"that's true, thanks for coming" You say with a smile pulling onto your face.
"Yeah. And besides we haven't really had much time alone together." Dave replies and wraps his arms around your waist. You push him away, though.
"I don't want to get you sick…or throw up on you" You say with a laugh.
A/N: THE CHAPTER ENDS HERE BECAUSE I SAID SO! I don't really know if I want to continue this fan fiction because it's taking longer than I expected to write. So so sorry about how long it took to update and how short this chapter is. But I think I might want to focus on a fan fiction that I can write well so if anyone has requests for fanfiction I will do ones for Angel Beats and Fruits Basket. I will keep doing homestuck fanfics but don't blame me for the characters being OOC :/
