Fixing Errors

Chapter eight

That day was pretty relaxed for Reboot and Eraser.
They mostly laid in bed all day.
Though come afternoon, Eraser's hangover got worse and Reboot had to get up and care for him.
Eraser started throwing up again and going into coughing fits.
Reboot, knowing that the hangover was caused by dehydration, forced Eraser to drink as much water as he could.

Reboot's afternoon was all caring for his love.

Eraser had finally fallen back asleep around 6.
Jam was already home.
Reboot was stressing over Eraser.
And still having that nervous feeling only made him more anxious.

Reboot was sitting beside Eraser, watching him start to fall asleep.
Eraser had been acting so sick. It made him scared.

Reboot put a hand gently on Eraser's cheek as Eraser fell asleep.
He knew Jam had come back and probably wanted dinner.
He got off the bed carefully, not to wake his love.
The smaller went to the door quietly and left the room. He looked down from, the stairs seeing his son on the couch.
Reboot went down the stairs, Jam looked at him seeing him come down.
Jam stood up. "Mah! You look exhausted!"
Reboot gave a small laugh. "Really? I've slept a lot today. Racy did get more of an intense hangover though."
"And you're probably hungry aren't you?" He added with a sigh.
Jam nodded. "Can ya show me? Like, how to make stuff?"
Reboot's eyes lit up happily. "You want to learn to cook? Make meals?"
Jam nodded, "That's what I meant, ya."
Reboot's full expression changed from tired and bored, to more of an excited five-year-olds expression.
Jam smiled, seeing as how his mother lightened up.

"What would you want to make?" Reboot asked happily as he went to the kitchen.
Jam thought for a moment as he followed his mother.
"What does dad like, maybe somethin ta help em out?"
Reboot smiled and looked up at his son.
"He will eat anything, you've seen him. Though for a favourite food... I know he enjoys meaty things. Maybe we should try something like that?" Reboot thought a moment. "Let's look and see what we have before anything. Try and think: What could we do quickly? I should go out. I am a Protector of our Multiverse. I can't just leave it."

Jam nodded as he went into the kitchen.
He opened a cupboard and looked inside. "Uh, cereal? instant noodles?"

All Jam really saw was little things and quick meals.

Reboot looked in the fridge. "There's some leftovers."
"Reheat them or something?" Jam asked.

Reboot closed the fridge door and thought for a moment.
"We could use the leftover meat from yesterday, cut it up and toss it in with some of the instant noodles along with some other vegetables." He looked back up at Jam.

Jam started nodding slowly.
Reboot gave a soft giggle.
"Wha is it?" Jam asked.
Reboot smiled with a very mother-like expression. "I'm just thinking about how you used to look up at me. Now you're taller than both me and Eraser."
Jam smiled back. He stepped towards his mother and picked him up quickly. Not in a romantic way, just in a simple playful way. "Now I can cradle you, like how you used to."
Reboot was a little surprised with Jam's sudden move. He gave a small gasp as he was picked up before laughing.
After a few moments, Reboot tried to push himself out of his grip. "Okay, let's be serious and make something."
Jam set him down gently and backed up. He pulled the instant noodles from the cupboard and looked back at his mother who was pulling things out of the fridge.

They made everything rather quickly, Reboot had Jam do as much as he could, trying to teach him how to use everything, along with random tips.
