Katsuki sat Kaneki in front of the tv before going into the bedroom to change into something clean. When he was finished, he went into the kitchen to unload the stuff he managed to buy for Junior. The minute Kaneki saw the boxes she hurried over and tried reaching for them, but she was too small.
"Up," she asked Katsuki.
Katsuki picked her up and sat her on the table, her eyes beam as she looked at all the stuff he had brought and started stacking them like blocks. Seeing how excited she was to be playing with medicine made Katsuki realized that maybe the kids needed a toy to play with.
"Why so many?" Izuku asked, his tone almost back to normal.
"I didn't know which one was good," Katsuki replied, looking at him and then to Junior, who was wide awake but very quiet.
Katsuki took the thermometer out of his box, read the instructions before walking over to Junior to take his temperature. The Emt told him that Junior had a lowgrade fever, and if Katsuki wanted them to bring Junior to the hospital.
When Katsuki asked if the hospital was necessary, they told him only is he is 102 and higher. With all that was going on, Katsuki didn't remember to ask what Junior's exact reading was, so he was happy he was able to buy it.
When the reading came back at 101, Katsuki knew it was bad, but not enough to rush the kid to the ER but enough that they would probably be up all night checking his temperature. Katsuki took the boxes from Kaneki one by one to read the back.
"Uraraka suggested Motrin. If you had picked up, I would have told you just to get the Motrin," Izuku said, looking at the Motrin box in Kaneki's hand.
Katsuki was very much aware that he had to deal with not just the kids' tantrum, but Izuku's as well. If it were any other day, he would have had a counter statement.
However, since one for all hasn't killed him yet, he knew he had to thank the children for keeping Izuku from going into hourlong rants. Katsuki held out his hand to Kaneki, and she turned to face him with a massive smile on her face after realizing Katsuki saw her trying to opening the box of Motrin.
When Katsuki heard Izuku chuckled, he realized that the kids were doing God's work for him. After opening the box to read the instruction for the right dosages, he poured it for Junior.
"Wait, shouldn't we wait till after he eats?" Izuku asked.
"Well, he is about to eat, so I don't think it matters," Katsuki replied and gave Junior the medicine. When Junior looked like he was going to spit it out, Katsuki said in a stern voice to swallow it. Junior did the cried for water. His expression horrified by the taste.
"Let's give the medicine a minute first," Katsuki replied.
"I don't like it!" Junior cried, now very upset.
"You are not supposed to like it, it's supposed to help you feel better," Katsuki said, walking over to him with a tall glass of water.
"Are you giving me water or Junior?" Izuku replied, confused, wondering how Juniors was supposed to hold the glass cup that was bigger than his hands.
"Myself actually, are you thirsty? I can pour you a cup?" Katsuki asked, holding the glass to Junior's lips to take a sip. When Junior seemed done, Katsuki drank the rest.
Izuku rolled his eyes before using his free hand to pick and read the back of the box. "Every 6 hours."
"Yup," Katsuki uttered. "If necessary. If he doesn't seem to be better, maybe one of the moms can take him to the hospital tomorrow."
