Ryland
Ryland had fallen asleep on you because of the medicine they gave him when he got his wisdom teeth out. You're watching the movie you had put on earlier when you hear something.
"Ow..."
"Ry?"
"My mouth hurts..."
"Do you want me to get your medicine? The dentist sent you home with some pain medicine for your mouth."
"Yeah..."
You get his medicine and a glass of water so he can take them.
"Ok, so you're supposed to take 2 of these every 4 hours until the pain is better," you say, sitting down next to him.
You give him the pills and the glass of water and he takes them.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. Besides your mouth hurting, how do you feel?"
"Tired."
"Yeah, just relax. I'll put on another movie ok? And I'll make you soup for dinner so it shouldn't hurt your mouth."
"Thanks," he says, curling up beside you and closing his eyes.
Ross
"Can I eat food yet?" Ross asks.
"I don't know. Is your mouth still numb? Because your dentist said no eating until you're not numb anymore because you might bite your tongue."
"No, I'm not numb. It hurts to talk."
"Ok. How about I give you some pain medicine and then make you a smoothie?"
"Ok."
You give him his medicine and go to the kitchen to make him a smoothie. You decide on a strawberry banana smoothie.
You don't really have a recipe to follow, so you just make it up as you go.
Once the smoothie is made, you bring it to Ross.
"Thanks," he says, taking it.
"You're welcome," you say, sitting down next to him.
"Did I do anything weird while I was loopy?" He asks.
"Well... You really wanted to play a concert. So I had to convince you to just rest instead."
Ross laughed.
"Thanks for taking care of me," he says, cuddling into your side.
"Of course, Ross," you say, kissing him.
Rocky
Since Rocky had been so tired after getting his wisdom teeth out, all he wanted to do was sleep. He'd been asleep for a few hours now and you were worried that his pain medicine was wearing off and he was going to be in a lot of pain if he didn't wake up soon. So you decide to wake him up.
"Rocky," you say, shaking him gently.
"Hmmm?"
"I think you should take some pain medicine."
"But I'm tired."
"But does your mouth hurt?"
"Yeah..."
"Then can I give you some medicine?"
"But I'm tired."
"Rocky..."
You get his medicine anyway and pull him into a sitting position.
"Take this," you say, giving him the pills and a cup of water.
He takes the pills and then lays down again.
"Now lay down next to me," he says, reaching for you.
You lay down beside Rocky and just let him sleep.
Riker
You had fallen asleep on the couch with Riker while watching Pirates of the Caribbean.
"Can I play video games now?" Riker asks, shaking you awake.
"What?" You ask, rubbing your eyes.
"Didn't you say I could play video games later?"
"Oh... Yeah. How is your mouth?"
"It hurts."
"Ok. Take some of your pain medicine first, and then you can."
Riker takes his medicine and then looks at you with puppy dog eyes.
"What?" You ask.
"Will you play with me?"
You laugh.
"Sure, Riker. Pick a game and I'll play with you."
"Yay!"
Riker picks a game. You don't really know how to play, but you're just playing to make Riker happy. He leans his head on your shoulder while playing.
"Are you hungry or anything, Rik?"
"No. I just want to play video games."
You laugh.
"Ok, Rik."
