A/N What's up specimens?! Okay so this one is kind of inspired by true events. Aka, my stupidity.
Once again this was sent to me by Abnegation Ravenclaw but it really has happened to me and it was one of the worst days of my life.
Enjoy!
*Imagine Person B is fond of baking and Person A sticks in a finger to a spoon into the raw batter to eat, just to annoy Person B*
Person A finally falls sick because of it and B nurses A back to health all the while amused at the whole situation*
*Tris POV*
I crack two eggs into the large bowl and mix the batter together with a whisk. Christinas' birthday is coming up soon and she can't bake for shit, so she had asked me to make her some Red Velvet cake. I turn around to grab the cake pan just missing Tobias dipping a spoon into the bowl and trying the raw batter.
"Tobias!" I exclaim, hitting his arm. "This is for Christina, you can't just eat it."
"I just did." he says plainly, tossing the spoon into the sink. Yet another pet peeve of mine.
"Well yeah, duh. But this has raw eggs in it, you could get sick." I say, pushing the bowl out of his reach.
"I've been married to you for three years and every single time you bake I always try some. Have I gotten sick yet? Nope. Pretty sure it's an old wives tale." he leans on the counter with a smirk.
"Would you eat a straight raw egg?"
"No of course not." he exults. "That's not good for you."
"Then why would you eat it in cake batter?" I scoff.
"Because everything is all mixed together and the egg isn't bad anymore." he responds simply.
"That doesn't even make any sense!" I proclaim, throwing my hands up. Tobias smiles then presses a kiss to my cheek.
"You're cute when you're angry."
"I'm not angry, I'm just frustrated." I sigh.
"Jesus, you sound like my Mother." he chuckles. I roll my eyes and return to my baking.
"Whatever." I give up. "Anyway, Christinas' party is at three so please be ready by then."
"It's ten o'clock. I have time." he kisses me again and walks off to the bedroom.
At two-forty-five I finish packing up the cake and making sure I have everything with me.
"Tobias, come on!" I call into the apartment. He walks out into the living room...still in pajamas. "What the hell, Tobias. We have to leave, like right now."
"I really don't feel good. At all. Can I please stay?" he begs, dropping face first down onto the couch.
"What's wrong?" I ask worryingly.
"I don't know." he rolls over and looks at the ceiling. "I just fell...blech. You know?"
"Sure, yeah." I squeeze his hand, and pick my cake back up. "I'll be back in a few hours okay? Call if you need anything." he mumbles in response and grabs a blanket from the ground which he neglected to fold earlier.
"Love you," he mutters.
"Love you too." I reply. "There some Aspirin in the medicine cabinet if you need it." I walk out with my sick husband falling asleep on the couch.
At around seven-thirty I'm walking back home to check on Tobias. I guess the party might be going on for a couple more hours but Tobias hadn't called so I was a bit worried. When I get to my door I can hear the TV playing but upon walking in, Tobias doesn't seem to be watching. He's on his back now, covering his eyes with his arm. If it weren't for the bucket next to the couch I would've assumed Tobias hadn't moved at all.
"Oh my God, Tobias. You look awful." I state, dropping my purse to the ground.
"Ughh." he groans.
"Did you get sick?" I motion to the bucket. Without moving his arm away he nods then groans again.
"Four times." he tells me. I grimace and move to sit on the floor in front of him.
"Did you take anything?" he seems to calm down a little when I start to run my hand through his tousled hair.
"I took some Pepto Bismal earlier but it came up about twenty minutes ago." he moves his arm and looks at me tiredly. "I think I got the Stomach Flu somehow."
"No I don't think so. Otherwise I'd be sick to." after I finish my sentence, I grin in realization.
"What?" Tobias asks.
"You got Salmonella." I don't try to suppress my laugh.
"What?" he repeats.
"You ate raw eggs and got sick." I declare. "The man who claims that Salmonella is a wives tale, got Salmonella and is now throwing up. I tried to tell warn you, I did." Tobias weakly hits me with a throw pillow but in his state it really doesn't hurt.
"Oh shut up." he grunts.
"Hey, you brought this on yourself. Just saying." I get up to get him a glass of water and some Aspirin that might help a little. By the time I return he's already fast asleep curled up underneath the freeze blanket. I pull a thicker quilt out from behind the sofa and gently cover him with it. For some reason, I feel like I shouldn't leave him in here alone and I have no way of taking him to our room, so I make myself comfortable on the recliner and fall asleep a couple hours later.
At around three-am I decided to just stay awake because every time I fell asleep I was awoken only an hour later by Tobias. It's truly pitiful watching someone as tough and quite candidly intimidating as my husband complaining about how stupid he was and how much he wants to eat something without throwing it up. When we both want to watch some TV I try to steer clear of anything mentioning food and it seems to help him a bit. But as much as I feel bad for him, I just love the irony in it. Now I'm not saying that he deserved it or anything, but it is very funny.
Finally at the crack of dawn Tobias things everything has passed and he's okay to eat now. I start out with some water and a piece of toast, much to his disappointment.
"I just don't see why I can't have Taco Bell." he gripes for the hundredth time.
"Do you really want to be throwing up Taco Bell?" I reason, cocking an eyebrow. He thinks for a minute.
"No. But I want it," he settles farther into the couch like an upset child. I chuckle and kiss his forehead.
"You're cute when your sad." I smile, much like he did yesterday. He glares at me but he can't keep it for long.
"Yeah yeah, I know."
"And you're so humble."
"That's why you love me." he grins.
"Very true," I agree.
"Now can I have Taco Bell?"
A/N Okay so I once had a bad case of Salmonella (Much like our beloved Tobias) and it literally sucked. I'm not gonna go into details -because it is actually gross- but I honestly only wanted to eat with throwing up and I just uhhhh
Anyway, I know it's not super long but I didn't really know how to continue this without having be really weird so you know.
That's all dear Peoples.
Ily and DFTBA!
