Maybe Infected was right when he said Retro shouldn't try to treat his virus.
TRIGGER WARNINGS:
Disease
Infection AU..
This won't be a very g0ry AU :3
A work in progress !
Note: "Infection" is misspelled purposefully on the cover lmao, I just though...
Glossi and Lampert stood in silence for a few moments. For once the two were silent. Lampert wasn't complaining, Glossi wasn't being a bossy little--

" Lampert , " Glossi spoke up suddenly, making Lampert jolt slightly in surprise. His tail swayed back and forth nervously. He honestly felt a little angry at her for bringing him here. " Yes , Glossi ? What is it. " Lampert frowned and stood up straight. He placed the metal hands he was fidgeting with at his sides. He couldn't let her know how spiteful he was towards her. " You're being childish. We're visiting him for like 20 minutes. You'll live for 20 minutes. " Oh. She was being bossy again. Lampert's forced polite smile fell into a frown the instant she called him "childish".
" ... But!-" Lampert tried to speak. " No buts! We're visiting Kasper! " Glossi grabbed him by the arm. However, she struggled to pull her along with him because of the massive advantage in physical strength he had over her. He had an advantage in physical strength over most people, though. " Ugh - Come on, Lampert ! We can cut the visit to 15 minutes! " Lampert's shoulders loosened and he breathed an exasperated sigh. He was never going to fight off Glossi's stubbornness. He stopped struggling and let her drag him out of the lobby and to the door of Infected's apartment. Glossi nodded in approval and approached the wooden door labelled "007" with a sign underneath that read "GAMING IN PROGRESS: DO NOT ENTER". Glossi groaned and upon releasing Lampert crossed her arms. " I swear, that sign makes me angry every time I see it. " She wasn't wrong; it was a pretty horrible sign. Glossi shook her head and knocked on the apartment door.
" Hellooo, Infected, are you in? " Lampert opened his mouth to speak, but Glossi elbowed his ribs. She forgot he was made of metal and couldn't feel pain so it ended up leaving a crack in her elbow and she was the one who ended up feeling the pain. " Ow, s̶h̶i̶t̶ ! " Lampert coughed in an attempt to cover up a small chuckle. " Are you ok ? " ... " I know you're trying not to laugh. " Lampert snickered to himself before they heard Infected's voice call to them through the door. " H3y guys! C0M3 0N in !!! ^_^ " Glossi opened the door and stepped inside with Lampert reluctantly following behind. He sort of hid behind her because she was taller than him. Glossi noticed this and gripped him by the shoulders, pulling him next to her instead of behind her. Lampert could do nothing but get pushed around because she caught him off guard. They found K̶a̶s̶p̶e̶r̶ Infected sitting at his desk on his PC on an old website. He switched the PC off and spun around in his old black gaming chair to face the two.
" Wh4T's up ! 1 F0Rg0t y0U guys w3R3 V1S1tIng!!!! :D " Glossi giggled and shook her head before flopping onto Infected's couch. She paused, thinking to herself about what to say. " Yeah, it's good to see you. We haven't spoken in a while. " Infected stood up and sat down on the couch next to his friend. " 1'M k3Wl w1th th4t. IK y0u'v3 b33n bUsy. " The guy nodded and crossed his arms, leaning back on the couch. He glanced over at Lampert. " Wh4t's Up, m4N ! C0m3 s1t w1tH us ! " Lampert grimaced but Glossi shot him a bitter look, so he sat down (as far away from Infected as possible, sitting on Glossi's side instead). " .. Hey, buddy. " He'd be speaking through gritted teeth if he had them. Glossi took a deep breath in through her nose and her brow furrowed. " I heard you paid a visit to Retro lately. How did that-- " She was interrupted by Infected sneezing loudly. Some magenta snot got on Lampert and he shivered and quickly turned away to gag. Glossi rolled her eyes and wiped the fluid off of Lampert with a tissue as if she were his mother and he was a small child. " Toughen up ! " She hissed while she was still leaning over. Lampert sulked and crossed his arms.
Glossi handed Infected a tissue and he sheepishly chuckled and took it, wiping his runny nose. " H3H, s0rry 4B0ut th4t ... " Lampert stood up. " Er - I'm gonna go to the bathroom. " Glossi shook her head in disappointment. " Be quick. " Infected turned to Glossi. " W41t, h3's a L4mP... D03s he 3V3n n33d to - " She quickly cut him off. " It's best not to think about that, Infected. " For a while, they just sat there in silence. When Lampert left the atmosphere seemed to become a lot less tense. After a few minutes they silently decided to put some cartoons on the TV for the two of them to watch. " Hey, you never answered my question earlier, " Glossi smiled gently as to reassure Infected. He seemed slightly off and she was beginning to pick up on it. " How did the visit to Dr. Retro go ? " Infected started to pick at his nails. " M3h, 1T w4S 4Lr1ght. 1 f33l k1nD4 s̶h̶1̶t̶t̶Y̶ 4Ft3r th4t Tr34tm3nt she g4ve m3 buT 1 Th1Nk th0s3 r just S1d3 3ffectS. xP " Glossi nodded. " Sh3 s41d 1t w0ulD h3Lp a l0t 1n a f3w d4ys tho. " Infected stopped picking at his nails and looked up at his friend. His friend smiled at him and he smiled back. For a few fleeting moments they stayed like that, before Glossi turned to the door. Infected frowned and tilted his head. " 1 w0Nd3R wh3N L4Mp3rt'll b3 b4Ck. " The air became a bit heavier with a sort of awkward sorrow, mostly coming from Glossi.
" Yeah .. Yeah me too, Kas- Infected. "
" Huh ? 0_0 "
" .. Sorry Infected. I was thinking about .. Someone else. "
