"Gavin, you nut." I smiled as he let go of me. He smiled back before turning his attention to Geoff.

~~

A few hours later, we finished a Let's Play in Minecraft. Not much to the video, all we did was get fucked up. Geoff accidentally spawned too many mobs and it went crazy. It was a fun Let's Play, other than the constant yelling of Michael. I was trying to contain my rage for the game Michael and I were doing later. I think we were playing Surgeon Simulator, but I'm not completely sure.

It was pretty late by now and everyone in the office had left. I pushed my chair closer to Michael's as he started up the game, Surgeon Simulator. Michael started up the camera and started filming.

~~

"Holy fucking shit, Michael. I am trying to pick up the goddamn hammer!" I yelled. The controls for this game were so hard to do.

Michael started to violently press the buttons like it would help at all. I started to giggle. He glanced at me with an expression that could kill. I looked at him and started to laugh even more.

"When I turned back to the screen, our character had died. I looked over at Michael. "Look what you did!"

He looked at me, "You didn't pick up the hammer!"

"Don't even start! You were the one who made me laugh!" I crossed my arms.

We went through another hour of trying to beat the game. Of course, I threw my hands up and surrendered. This was one of the hardest games to play with two people in my opinion. A few seconds after we ended the video, Em peeped her head in as if we she were making sure we weren't going to murder her.

When she saw that we were finished filming, she opened the door wider and walked up beside me. I had forgotten that she was going to be editing the video tonight. I propped myself up on my crutches and Michael helped me towards the door. I waved at Em and we left.

~~

Michael had gotten sick when we got home. He was throwing up in the bathroom so I stayed in there to make sure he was okay. He didn't want anything to eat, but I forced him to eat some crackers, because of the salt.

We stayed up a couple more hours before both of us eventually fell asleep on the bathroom floor. I was sitting up against the bathtub. Michael was laying on the floor with his head in my lap.

I woke up with a sore neck from having it on the edge of the bathtub. I went to get up, but realized Michael was still laying on top of me. I didn't feel like waking him so I looked around for my phone. It was on the floor beside me. I picked it up and saw it was already 2pm. I had four texts from Gavin and four from Em.

Nagi are you not coming to work? ~ Em
Seriously Nags it's already noon. ~ Em
Are you dead? ~ Em
Oh don't be dead. ~ Em

Hey sis. Being held captive by Em until you answer soo. - Gav
Are you still asleep? - Gav
Oh you could be sick! - Gav
Or maybe my boi is sick? - Gav

I decided to text Gavin first.

Don't worry, Gav. I'm fine, but Michael got sick last night. Tell the gang we won't be at work today for me! ~ Nagi

I hope Michael feels better. Love you, sis. - Gav

Love you, too, Gav. I'll keep you posted. ~ Nagi

I sat my phone back down on the floor. Michael was still sleeping. I really wish he would wake up soon. I would like to get him somewhere more comfortable. My phone buzzed and I picked it up. Another text from Em.

Michael's sick?? Aww that's too bad. Hope he feels better! ~ Em

Don't worry, its probably just a bug. ~ Nagi

Tell him I said he better get well soon! ~ Em

I will. I just gotta get him up first. ~ Nagi

I sat my phone up on the edge of the sink this time. My movement woke up Michael. He sat up and looked over at me. I smiled.

"Are to feeling any better?" I asked, getting ready to stand up.

He shrugged. I stood up and leaned against the sink. "Let's go to the couch. It's a lot more comfortable."

He nodded and stood up. I grabbed my crutches and lead the way. Michael plopped down on the couch. I went to get him some Sprite. Might I remind you how hard it is to use crutches and carry a drink, but somehow I managed it. I sat my crutches on the floor and sat down, still holding his cup. I had him take a few sips and told him to lay down. He put his head in my lap and I turned on a movie.

Every now and then, he sat up to get a sip of Sprite or trudged off to the bathroom. I realized any normal person would stay away from someone who was sick as best as they could, but I was trained for this is ways, so I could handle it.

"Do you want to take tomorrow off too?" I looked down at him. He looked up at me with puppy eyes and I took that as a yes.

Cherry had made her way onto the couch and fell asleep by Michael's feet. Half an hour later, Michael fell asleep too. I fished for my phone and started to text Em.
