[ it’s just a fever, right?? not whatever webmd says it is? ]

thermometer ha. right, that’s what it is. not a ginger shot?

[myhousemyrules]

What are your other symptoms?

1/2

[trustfundee]

[ oh, so sweet of her to ask. his heart aches for a different reason. ]

headache. my throat feels like it’s gonna rip itself out, i’m not even being dramatic rn

2/2

[trustfundee]

i can’t find an nsaid on uber eats so i just took the ginger shot. fyi, if they ask for the cause of death you can say lack of straight answer re: ginger for a fever

[ now he’s being dramatic. ]

[myhousemyrules]

[ He's definitely got something if his throat hurts and he's feverish. Her first instinct is to go to him, take care of him. She wants to tuck him into bed and make sure he's comfortable. She can't do any of that. ]

How do you not have any of that in your house?

[trustfundee]

wow way to shame me rn. kick me when i’m down ok. not all of us get a nurse or get to be a nurse.

besides. not sure if you noticed but im healthy a lot, like most of the time.

[myhousemyrules]

So you don't get hungover?

[trustfundee]

i do. i lounge around and eat cold pizza. better than any advil. i guarantee it.

how come you’re up rn? isn’t it way past your bedtime?

[myhousemyrules]

I don't think that's scientifically accurate.

I'm reading. You should test. It will help you feel better.

[trustfundee]

it’s tried and true. i can give you anecdotal evidence.

i can’t. i’ve slept all day. the uber food guy is also running really late. what are you reading?

[myhousemyrules]

That doesn't make it medically sound.

Hook, Line & Sinker. It's a favorite.

[trustfundee]

doesn’t make it not true ;) you’re supposed to be nice to me when i’m sick, sweetheart. remember?

haven’t read it. looks like a rom com? it’s got the name of a murder mystery. is it raunchy?

[myhousemyrules]

I'm not your nurse.

[ She's not his anything. It hurts. ] And I'm being nice.

It's a murder mystery. Part of your grandfather's collection.

[trustfundee]

nice you wouldn’t shame me for not having advil.

ha. i had no idea. i googled it. you’re a true dedicated fan, marta. what do you like about it?

[myhousemyrules]

I'm not shaming you. Having Advil is just common in a household.

Same reason I like most mysteries. You really should try and rest. Or make some tea.

[ Has she already ordered and sent him an order of cold medicine and chicken noodle soup and orange juice? Yeah, but she's not going to remark on it. ]

[trustfundee]

well i’m not a common person :)

alright, ill make some tea but i’m doing it for you.

[ he has to drag himself out of bed for it. it’s cold. he’s cold. ]

[myhousemyrules]

How long have you been feeling like this? Any chills? Body aches?

[trustfundee]

since like last night. i thought my drink was spiked for a sec. and yes, all of the above.

where are you rn?

[myhousemyrules]

[ She's a little alarmed at that. He's so cavalier about it. ]

Like roofied you or something??

[trustfundee]

no, no one actually did, but the thought did cross my mind. happens more than you think, you know.

[ but it’s cute, the way she’s reacting. ]

are you worried about me?

[ oh, there goes his door bell. ]

[myhousemyrules]

[ That is deeply concerning. ]

You're not feeling well.

[ It's not an answer, but at the same time, it is. ]

[trustfundee]

[ When he opens the door, thinks it’s the burger he ordered, but when he brings the paper bag inside, he’s surprised by its contents. it’s a little while before he texts her again. ]

this delivery will make me feel better. you sent it, didn’t you?

[myhousemyrules]

I'm not sure I know what you mean.

[ That's a little closer to a lie, so it makes her stomach twist a bit. ]

[trustfundee]

aw, don't be shy. you know what i mean.
seriously. literally no one else would do this besides you.
it's good soup.
you know what would be better tho?

[ he sends her a photo of the takeout soup, with a silver spoon sticking out of the plastic container. it's dimly lit, with his spare hand giving her a thumbs up beside the bowl. ]

[myhousemyrules]

[ Of course he eats it with a silver spoon instead of the flatware it likely comes with. He's so irritatingly charming and disarming. All she wants is to laugh and be there with him. Someone should be there for him and care for him, but then she's reminded of what he's chosen and the women he's had on his arm as of late. ]

Cold medicine and rest most likely.
