But It's Better If You Do

Sick Day (part 3)

I heard faint voices and opened my eyes slowly. The pain in my side wasn't as bad and I didn't feel like I was running a fever anymore. I sat up slowly and noticed Gamzee sitting next to my bed and Kurloz standing near the door typing away on his phone.

"You all up and okay, mama?" Gamzee asked noticing that I had finally woken up.

I was still a bit dazed, but I managed to focus my attention on Gam. "Hey, lil man." I rasped ruffling his hair. Gamzee gave me a half smile and grabbed my hand.

"Kurbro, A's awake." Gamzee said slowly. Kurloz seemed distracted, frustrated even, and kept typing away not responding.

"I'm glad you're all up awake now, we were really motherfucking worried. Not to mention that Kurloz totally flipped his shit." he whispered to me.

"Kurloz," I whined trying to gain his focus. "I need attention." I groaned.

He locked his phone looking over to the bed. "Motherfucking hello to you too." He sniggered. He made his way over and sat opposite of Gamzee.

"I'm really fucking glad you're ok. When you fainted I thought my blood pusher would explode." He let out a sigh of relief placing his hand on my leg.

I let out a deep breath. "Sorry I had you guys so worried." I rasped apologetically.

Kurloz opened his mouth to reply when his phone beeped again; he made a face before storming out of the room. "I'll be right motherfucking back." He rushed.

Gamzee and I looked at each other questioningly before the door opened again. In walked Mikado and Mituna who was already crying his harder than I had ever seen. He immediately latched onto crying into my shoulder. Mikado had to pry him off of me.

"Where's Kurloz?" Mika asked looking around the room.

"Kurbro bolted just before you guys got here. Seemed pretty fucking important. He said he'd be back soon though." Gamzee slurred. Mikado shrugged before plopping down in a chair and pulling Tuna down next to her.

"Oh, A, we were so worried about you." Mikado gushed.

"Sorry." I spoke croakily. Mikado paused giving me a questioning look.

"Gotta sore throat?" she questioned. I nodded I hadn't even realized the pain had resided. Mikado called for a nurse growing concerned over the gruffness of my voice.
Kurloz returned about fifteen minutes later and a nurse followed after.

"Wow, you're awake and it looks like everyone came to see you," she chirped. She clasped her hands together and smiled. "How can I help?"

"Can you look at her throat or something, I know she's just waking up but she sounds extremely hoarse and I don't think that's normal." Mikado spoke up. The nurse nodded before pulling about and mini flashlight and a tongue depressor. She tilted my head back slightly and held my tongue flat; she shined the light down my throat and called Mika over. Mikado tilted her head to the side and narrowed her eyes perplexed.

"I'll go get the doctor." The nurse said before quietly slipping out of the room.
