—————————————————————————————————————
[Sabre's POV]
I slowly wake up, feeling like I just got off some seriously crappy fair ride from those storybooks.
I don't even want to open my eyes, I just want to go back to being unconscious so I don't feel this awful ache all over my body. I eventually convince myself to try and at least sit up, forcing my eyelids to open. I very soon regret that, as when I do open my eyes it just looks as if the room is spinning. I quickly shut my eyes again and bury my face in my pillow.
I try to just let this all pass, but it won't go away. My head is pounding, and everything just feels sore. I slightly open one eye and try to reach for the water bottle on the end table next to the bed, as my throat feels dry and scratchy, but it feels like it's miles away and I quickly give up. I close my eye again and try to make the pain go away.
I suddenly start coughing, as I always do whenever I'm sick. Not even a second later I hear Orange rushing up the stairs, his loud clanking footsteps not really helping with the headache. I hear Orange get to my room, and speed over to me.
"Sabre, are you okay?! What's wrong?!" Orange asks, clearly panicking. I flinch at the noise.
I just groan, really not feeling like talking. I feel Orange lift the covers off me slightly, and I open my eyes halfway. Orange looks at me for a minute, his eyes darting from side to side as he takes a worried expression. I think he's scanning me...?
"Jeez, your systems are going haywire!" Orange says. "Wh- Are you feeling okay?!"
Orange carefully picks me up and lifts me off the bed, pretty much cradling me. I manage to focus myself so I can talk to him.
"I-I think I got sick..." I say, almost whispering, my voice sounding hoarse.
"Sick?! How?!" Orange exclaims, starting to walk downstairs. I wish he'd quiet down a little...
"I dunno..." I mumble.
Orange gets me over to the couch once we get downstairs and sets me on it. He's frantically asking questions, trying to figure out what's wrong, but it's too loud and it's making my head hurt worse. Orange soon notices.
"I'm sorry, am I being too loud?" Orange asks, lowering his voice. "What's wrong?"
"Head hurts..." I say, trying to clear my dizzy vision.
"Sorry, buddy. I'll be quieter." Orange says. "Uhh... Do you want some food? You woke up late, and you usually have something by now..."
"I can try." I say.
Orange walks off to the storage room, and brings back an apple and two small melon slices. He hands them to me, and notices I'm shivering.
"Why are you shaking? Are you cold?" Orange asks, and I nod. "Okay, be right back, I'm grabbing one of your blankets."
Orange quickly but quietly heads upstairs, and I eat the fruits he gave me. I notice Gerald walking up to where I am, and he hops up on the couch.
"Hi, Gerald." I smile.
Gerald seems to ignore me and hops up onto the arm of the couch next to me. Confused, I stare at him.
"What are you d- *cough* doing?" I ask the little mechanical pig next to me, who's now on top of the head of the couch. Suddenly, I feel a wave of nausea over me.
