I would just like to say that I've had the head-cannon that Remy was non-binary for like, a while now. Longer than 'Look or Look Away' has been around. It is a great story btw, go check it out.  And inspirante, please don't sue me. I didn't mean any harm.

TW: Being sick(obviously), implied vomiting, more or less misgendering, wanting to die(because everyone hates being sick that much. Don't pretend you don't do this).


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been maybe 6 months since Patton has been the children's nanny. And as all illnesses that spread in the house, it starts with Remus. It always starts with Remus. Most of the others would stay in their rooms and be sick, but Remus... Remus goes out, touches everything, goes nuts until one of his siblings or the nanny catches him.

Well, Remus got sick with the flu maybe a week ago and it was slowly spreading through the house. Remus spread it to Roman first, then Logan, then Virgil, then Emile, then Dee. But Remy didn't get sick, or they?

Yes, they did. And they are suffering, a lot. But nothing a little makeup can't fix.

Remy put on their normal outfit, but instead of a white t-shirt, they put on a white long sleeved shirt. They couldn't help it, they were just so cold.

Remy quietly coughed into their fist, they just couldn't get caught. They hate bedrest. And Dee always forces bedrest on people, even the nannies. But since Dee is already on bedrest, he can't tell them to go to their room! Remus already passed the strain of flu that he had spread all over the house. Well almost, Patton had managed to not catch it. To be honest, it's a miracle that he didn't. No one escapes from the wrath of sick Remus.

Remy grabbed their sunglasses and headed downstairs. Patton handed them a cup of coffee.

"There ya go kiddo!" Patton said cheerily with a happy grin on his face. 

Remy mumbled something along the lines of "thanks" and drank their coffee. Remus and Roman had already gotten mostly better, just a sore-ish throat now, nothing that will get anyone sick. The rest were either on the couch or in their room. Unless you're Remy.

"Off to school kiddos," Patton said, twirling the keys on his finger.

Remy nodded and headed out the door, followed by Remus and Roman. (So, in other words, the three redheads of the house left for the car. Everyone else in the house had dark brown hair, sometimes envying the others.)

Patton quickly dropped off the kids, Remy now being alone in the high school building. Remy sighed, which turned into a short coughing fit. They made a mental note to not breathe, or do anything important with their mouth, like breathing. 

Remy tucked some of their stray, long, dark red hair behind their ear. Where it should be; with the rest of their low ponytail. They walked inside the large building.

Remy got hit with another sharp pain in their throat, causing another coughing fit. 'Only 3 more hours. Just 3 more and you can go home and try to rest. You can make it til then.' They told themselves, but they didn't think they would last that long. 

"Dude, you okay? You don't look so hot," one of the football players said. Now was it Jackie or Jordan? They didn't even know anymore.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Remy muttered.

" You sure, you're swayin' and shakin' a whole lot," the player replied.

Remy slowly nodded. 

Another spoke up, "Rem, you should really go to the nurses office. I'll help you get there if you need it."
