[Guess who lives! After a week of forced bedrest, Leo's feeling a lot better. Still...his slightly over protective little brothers might not be in agreement with him. So he's still in bed for a day or so more, but at least he has his com back!]

I feel like I've missed a lot- anyone want to fill me in?

[So Minato decides to check up on Leo. There's a surprise. He walks in and looks Leo over. Yes, he's been doing this a lot. Getting tired of it yet?

At least this time he seems satisfied.]

You've missed chores for a week.

[He's pretty much given up on glaring at you people by this point. For now he'll just give you a rather even look.]

Not what I meant, Minato.

Re: [commentlog]

[Minato chuckles, his eyes twinkling. He knew that. And it's obvious the even look just amuses him.]

It's been a fairly quiet week. A good week to get sick, really.

... It's beginning to get colder outside, though.

[That cold doesn't really set well with him, but he nods and leans his head against the wall.]

Have I earned enough good behavior to sit on the couch for a while?

[Have a teenage grumbly Leo for a while, Minato.]

[foxtamer]

[Minato avoids that question purely to annoy Leo.]

Mmm, you must be feeling better if you're complaining.

[It's good to see you be a teenager for once, Leo. Maybe you need to get sick more often....]

[commentlog]

[dual_soulninja]

I'm not complaining. I'm just stating a fact.

[No, no he doesn't need to get sick more often.]

[commentlog]

[foxtamer]

If you say so.

[Minato chuckles.]

I suppose we can let you sit on the couch later today.

Re: [commentlog]

[dual_soulninja]

[He's really trying not to look hopeful at that suggestion.]

Really?

Re: [commentlog]

[foxtamer]

[Minato looks amused.]

Really. Staying in bed will slow you down. Even walking out to the living room and sitting on the couch will help. It's not like it's far away.

[He pauses for a moment in thought, then winks.]

But we'll have to sneak you out past your brothers. And then you can claim that you are resting and that moving you back wouldn't be resting.

Re: [commentlog]

[dual_soulninja]

You really believe they'll fall for that.

[flat look, Minato, flat look. He knows the tenacity that the younger Hamato brothers have.]

[commentlog]

[foxtamer]

Worst scenario, I teleport you out.

.. and we can clear off the pillows so you can lay down on it when they're watching.

[Oh, Minato knows. He's just hoping that they'll give up eventually because Leo's well enough to be stubborn. And they'll see how it pleases Leo to be back up like this.]

Re: [commentlog]

[dual_soulninja]

Not sure I can stomach that yet.

[He thinks that over for a few moments before nodding. There didn't seem anything wrong with it and really, even if there was. He would not bring up if it meant he might not get out of this damned room.]

Re: [commentlog]

[foxtamer]

Mmm. We might have to wait a bit, however. Your brothers are likely going to come in and check up on you now that you've made this post. They'll be expecting you to do something.

[... It's not hard to predict that, really.]

Re: [commentlog]

[dual_soulninja]

Likely? I think definitely is a better guess. Either way, I can't get stuck here any longer.

I'm going crazy.

[Not hard at all.]

Re: [commentlog]

[foxtamer]

[A chuckle.]

I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

[At the "I'm going crazy", Minato reaches over to rub Leo's head for a moment.]

Once they think they've assured you'll stay in bed, I'll come get you. Deal?

[dual_soulninja]

[He doesn't flinch at the touch anymore, but he does glance up at Minato.]

...right.
