The Disappearance of Osomatsu-san Drabbles

Sickness (Kara)

The eldest brother of the Altmatsus had gotten a cold, something that the five brothers didn't know of until Kara had passed out. They were in the middle of walking through the city, when Todo had noticed Kara wasn't as fussy as he usually was. When Todo had asked him what was wrong, Kara immediately collapsed on him, causing some of the people passing by to panic whether Kara might have died in the middle of the street. Thankfully, that wasn't the case; Kara was just exhausted, as well as sick.

Denying the kind strangers' offers to call an ambulance, Todo decided to carry Kara on his back as Choro and Ichi lead the way back to their house. Todo gently set Kara on the couch, and had Jyushi and Oso give him pillows, a blanket, and some stuffed animals to keep him comfortable for the time being. Even Mimatsu, Ginger, and Elizabeth seemed to notice that something was wrong, as Ginger jumped beside Kara and nuzzled to his side, Mimatsu was watching him, and Elizabeth slithered around his feet as a comforting gesture.

Ichi took the thermometer out of Kara's mouth. ".. I don't even wanna ask." He scowled upon seeing the number. "Well.. he's running on a high fever. That much is obvious. Do you think we have medicine for colds?"

"We do.. I think?" Choro walked in with a tray containing the medicine, a silver spoon on a platter, and a glass of water. There were also different pills on one side of the tray. "I offer my deepest apologies.. I do not necessarily know much about medicine besides.. cough drops. So I decided to put everything on the tray."

"It's fine, Choro. You don't get sick much, so it's natural you don't know about that much. Ichi'll be the one in charge of that." Todo was the next to walk in, with Oso following him. Oso was carrying a basin full of water, and a small white towel was on top of his head. Todo was busy texting on his phone. "I asked Professor Dekapan to come over as you asked, Ichi. Let me see the thermometer- never fucking mind, the fuck's with that temperature? That's higher than my old high school classmates. "

"What's that phrase supposed to mean?" Jyushi asked, tilting his head. He had set down Kiiro-kun besides Kara for "good luck", or that's what everyone understood.

Oso raised a finger. "Well.. that means-"

"Never mind!" Ichi interrupted, glaring at Oso, before turning to Kara. "I guess someone didn't tell us they weren't feeling well."

Kara made a weak chuckle. "Someone has to feed you guys and watch over you."

"Yeah, well guess who has to stay bedridden until we're one-hundred percent sure he doesn't die on the streets?" Todo scoffed. "Oso, the towel."

Oso gently set down the basin on the floor, taking off the towel from his head and soaked it with cold water, before squeezing it to make sure it didn't leak. "..Here you go.." Oso set down the wet rag on Kara's forehead, brushing off his hair. "..Get better.. otherwise.. I'm calling.. Osomatsu.."

"Dear god no." Todo snorted. "Have you seen what Osomatsu does when his brothers are sick?"

"Waste their money? Yes." Kara chuckled with a cough. "That'd be unfortunate, huh?"

"Whatever. Get better."
