Juliette was sick, now Aaron is sick (part 3)

~The Next Day~

Aaron's POV:
I wake up feeling hot and my throat much more sore than last night. I also feel exhausted. Even though me and Juliette both went straight to bed last night, at 8. I go the bathroom and quickly wipe a wet rag across my head, trying to cool myself down. I'll be fine, I think. Probably just allergies or small cold or something. I don't even know if I can talk right now. I see Juliette perk up behind me, wrapping her arms around me from behind. I turn around and she says, "Good morning." She leans in for a kiss but I pull back, she frowns, "Is it because I haven't brushed my teeth yet? I know you're a hygiene freak but-" I shake my head, trying not to speak, she says, "Wait... are you sick?" I shake my head vigorously, trying out my voice, "No-love I'm fine. It probably isn't even nothing-"Juliette looks at me, "Yeah, right. And I thought I was stubborn." She grabs my arm and drags me back to our bed, "Sit." I grumble, "Juliette-" Juliette says, "No. I'm calling Kenji. He can help." I groan, "Oh god, please, love, don't call him of all people-" Juliette is calling Kenji, her best friend, the annoyance of my life. Kenji answers, "What's up, J?" Juliette says, "Nothing much... but I have a favor, Kenji. Are you free to come over and help? Warner's sick." I hear Kenji's voice over the phone, "Uhhhh I'm busy." Juliette's eyes roll up to her head, "Oh, Kenji, cut the crap. You aren't busy."
Kenji laughs on the other side, "Yeah I know. I'll be there in 15 minutes." She looks at me when she hangs up, "Kenji's going to help you since you're sick." I am about to say something but then Juliette puts a finger to my lips, "Shh. Don't try to talk. Your voice sounds bad." She try's not to laugh. I sigh, laying my head down and groan into my pillow for 10 straight minutes.

When Kenji arrives, Juliette shakes me gently, "Kenji is here." I groan all over. Juliette says, "Let's go downstairs and sit on the couch." I say, "I don't want to go downstairs." Juliette says, "Well, unfortunately, Aaron, you don't have an option anymore. Come on." Finally, I give up and let her win and go downstairs to the couch. I sit on the couch as soon as Kenji is coming in the door with his things, a medical bag and another bag with water and some other things, when he sees me laying on the couch, laying there like a mummy or something, he starts to snicker loudly. I look at him, annoyed. I throw the nearest thing near me and aim for his head. It was a newspaper. He yells, "Hey!"  I look at Juliette. "You didn't say he was bringing all of this stuff, love." I look at Kenji and say, aggravated, "I'm a doctor I can take care of myself, just fine, you twerp." Kenji then points at me, "See? This is why I don't help people. Especially you." Juliette pleads, "Kenji. Warner's just sick is all, he's just easily annoyed right now." I say to Kenji, "I'm "easily annoyed" with him anyday." Kenji says, "Okay. I'm going to start, sick boy. Don't be a drama queen, and you'll be fine." Kenji puts on a mask, I give him a weird look,"I ain't gonna get whatever you got man." Kenji pulls a chair up beside me and says, "Open your mouth, I just need to check your temperature." I mutter something unintelligent but open it and let him check it, "10.4." I mutter under my breath"Great." Kenji says, "Next thing, I need to check your throat. Open wide and say ah, ." I say, feeling slightly feeling uncomfortable. "Is this really necessary?" Kenji nods, "Yes. Now open your dang mouth, bro." I open my mouth again and say "ah" it might be one of the most stupidest things I've ever done. Now it occurs to me why some of my patients always hate me. Kenji says, "Your throat looks really red, man. No wonder why you sound like a dying horse." I would so like to murder him right now. Kenji says, putting on the stethoscope, and puts the cold metallic thing on my chest, I hear him say, "Hey, Don't kill me yet, bro." He listens for a second and says, "Uh okay. Flip over on your back." I give him another look, Kenji says, "Don't look at me like that." Juliette looks at me from her chair she's sitting on, saying, a warning in her voice "Aaron." I comply, flipping over on my back. Kenji says, "Thanks, bro." He places the cold stethoscope against my back, "Okay, breathe in." I breath in slowly, my throat burning inside. "Breathe out." I breath out. Kenji says, "Okay, sick boy, so it looks to me like you have the flu. So, the solution is an injection." Kenji says, "But you should be fine with that, you being senior doctor, and all." I just look at him, trying my best to not look panicked. How do I tell them, me, a senior doctor, is afraid of needles. Kenji says, setting up the needle, "I'm going to get the cotton balls and bandages, hold on." I get up quickly and notice Juliette is in the bathroom. I pick up the horrid needle and throw it in the trash bin, then sit back down on the couch. Kenji comes back moments later and says, "Hey! Where'd the needle go?!" I try to hide my guilt but I don't think I do a good job at it this time. Kenji yells at me, his eyes suspiciously staring into my soul, "WAIT- DON'T TELL ME YOUR-" I say, "No- I'm not-"He wakes up Juliette. I say, "Bathroom." Kenji raises a brow and starts laughing, "Oh? Honestly, I assumed you were always a robot. You hardly ever have to pee but okay. I'll get the shot ready for you." When walking to the bathroom, I do something very immature of me, considering myself, but at the moment I don't care, I hold up my middle finger at Kenji. Kenji gasps, "How dare you-you little ungrateful-" I shut the bathroom door, blocking out the rest of his comment. I look at myself in the mirror. I look like an animal. I sigh, trying to calm myself down, and walk back to the living room. I sit back on the couch. Kenji is preparing another injection. Kenji comes back over and has everything on the tray. I start to freak out, fidgeting on my couch. I think Juliette senses this and says, "I think he's nervous, Kenji, give him a second." Kenji nods, suspicious still, "Hm, okay." I sit like that for a few minutes and finally I confess, "Fine. Okay, man, I admit it, I'm scared of the needles. Is there another way-" He says, "Well, I can knock you unconscious and then stick it in your arm." Juliette yells, "Kenji!" Kenji says, "Just joking, princess. Calm down." Kenji says, "You ready, sick boy?" I fidget again, my anxiety flooding through me, making my arms shake, "Fine. Do it. Be quick about it." He brings it out and wipes the alcohol wipe on my arm, I jerk my arm back, Kenji says, serious this time,"Hey, hey, calm down. Your arms are shaking like crazy, man. I can't give you the shot if your arm is shaking like that. Relax your arm, Warner." I nod, trying to relax my arm a little. He says, "You want J to come over here?" I nod, still not ready just yet. Juliette comes over and I lean against her, she says, "I never knew you were afraid of needles, I'm sorry. But I'm here, so try calming down." I nod again for the millionth time, and I feel a touch on my arm, I jerk, Kenji says, "That was just my hand, bro." Kenji holds my arm in place and carefully moves the needle towards my skin, I say, "Oh god." I squirm, Kenji says, "Stop squirming, man. Okay?" I say, "Okay." Kenji says, "Try not looking at the needle, just look at Juliette. I lean my head towards Juliette and she smiles sweetly at me. Kenji takes his chance and pokes the needle into me. Everything in me feels like jerking my arm back, Juliette sense this, she grabs my face, "Don't look. It's fine, you're almost done." Kenji takes the horrid needle out of me, "See? That wasn't so bad, you scared little rat." I give him a evil look, "What did you just call me?" Kenji says, "A rat." I'm gonna murder him. I've made my decision permanently at this moment. I say, "Now, get out of my house before I do something unpleasant ." Kenji mumbles, "Well, thanks, man. Get better soon, grumpy pants." He leaves. Juliette says, "That was mean." I try and fail to laugh, and kiss her collarbone then her cheek then her lips, "It wasn't that mean." She laughs too, "Come ere." I lean into her and crawl into her arms and we both fall asleep.
