[ sort of kind of was at her side at the time because he's actually a really good knight (just bad at protecting people, it seems), going between her and Schneizel and OH GOD SO HAPPY HE JUST BEAMS. but, he did sit there and watch the dream. the nostalgia is half-appreciated, the dream itself more appreciated, and none of the scenes were unwelcome.
beyond the fever, he's just happy Euphy's awake. he almost moves to hug her. almost. holds himself back, just in case. ]
Ah, almost a month- I'm glad you're awake now, regardless.
[ then, tipping his head. ] Are you feeling alright? No stiff muscles? [ even though she's, um, noodle-y yes. ]
[ action ] ALSDKS OF COURSE IT IS... ;w;naivelysanguineAugust 17 2011, 04:53:45 UTC
[As far as she's concerned, he's the best Knight she could've ever asked for -- so he has no reason to doubt himself. Finding out that poor Suzaku's been left to fret over both of them while they slept -- on top of worrying (or more likely failing to worry) about his own health -- is sure to throw her for a bit of a loop, but for now she's merely content with the pleasant surprise of waking up with him by her side.
She can't help but beam in return, partly because it's Suzaku and partly because that's just who she is. Honestly, she doesn't even think about the possibility of the dream being broadcast. She doesn't see him hold back either, too preoccupied by her own hesitation to reach out.]
It's still so strange to think, sleeping for so long. I hope I haven't worried any of you too much... and yes, I'm perfectly fine now, thank you. But what about you, Suzaku?
[Because stiffness isn't enough of a bother to constitute complaining about at the moment, and he's much more important.]
[ Suzaku enjoyed it! despite the obvious (a fever that'll pass, he knows, so it's really nothing to worry about), he's made sure the air conditioner worked, made sure they were still alive by checking pulses each day (of course), and was otherwise careful with whatever he did. ... obviously he didn't want to trip on anything on his way around the house, so he ended up cleaning and doing laundry and really he's not a housewife but this is the place they're living in s o.
but he enjoyed it. really. even if he acquired an odd sense of haziness in his vision and a habit of staring off and thinking way too hard. ]
I bet. [ a chuckle here. ] Don't worry. As long as you're awake now, there isn't much to worry about. Schneizel is still asleep, though. [ pauuuse as he reaches up and stops halfway to his forehead, brows furrowing and lips pulling into a split second frown before returning to its smile as his hand drops. ] But, I'll be fine.
[ it's not that he is fine, just that he will be fine. but that's always the case with him. ]
[ action ] ♥ ! ALSO I'M SORRY THIS IS LATE /SOBnaivelysanguineAugust 21 2011, 05:20:58 UTC
[Not so sure about that, Suzaku. Sounds a bit housewifey tbh but if he insists... So long as he's alright, Schneizel's alright, and the rest of her loved ones are alright, she's gonna be perfectly content after waking up.
That's a habit that he really ought to break before it gets too bad -- perhaps he should get out of the house a bit more?
There's a thoughtful pause here.]
Brother's asleep as well...? [She's honestly a bit disappointed (and more than a bit worried despite having been fine after her own sleep coma ended) because she wanted to spend more time with all of them, but... That brief frown accompanied by furrowing brows won't go unnoticed. Not a chance, young man.]
Suzaku, what's wrong? Did... something happen while I was asleep?
[ action ] IT'S COOOOL NO WORRIES! /o/keptdownAugust 21 2011, 23:19:06 UTC
[ sdfghklgeow just don't point it out... even if the house sparkles when you go downstairs okok. EVERYTHING IS FINE AND DANDY and nothing hurts. mostly.
hhhm. ]
Yeah. The two of you have been sleeping for a long while now. [ disappointment noted and processed! ] I'm sure he'll wake up soon. After all, I still have to teach him how to play shogi.
[ aka i still need to add another game that he can beat me at to his belt. and then, slowly: ] Nothing relevant happened-- and nothing's wrong. I'm... [ taking a moment to wonder how to phrase this. ]
I'm feeling a little under the weather- a slight fever, but it'll pass.
[ action ] YOU'RE THE BEST! \o/naivelysanguineAugust 22 2011, 02:51:02 UTC
[Alright, fine. For the sake of manpride, there will be zero mentions of those housewife tendencies.]
I see. [More disappointment -- but this time it's assuaged fairly quickly by Suzaku's reassurance and replaced with a smile.] Mm. I'm sure you're right. Oh, that sounds wonderful! I'd love to watch one day.
[Pauuuuse before she inches a bit closer and places a hand on his forehead as if to feel for said fever. Yeah, she's a bit impulsive and doesn't consider that it might make him uncomfortable -- but she does it because she cares. (Even if she's unsure as to what type of feeling that care is anymore.)]
Maybe you should get some rest if you're feeling a bit sick. [...] How long has it been like this? [Care about your own health before ours ! :|]
[ action ] ;u; BUT YOU ARE BETTER... /picks up and puts on lap ouokeptdownAugust 22 2011, 17:07:02 UTC
[ yeees good. 8) his manpride is forever safe, then... he can continue to hold his head up high. (yea) ]
Of course. [ a smile here. ] We'd be honored to have you as an audience. [ you can call foul play when Schneizel tries to move his king first. B|
aaand he lets her! doesn't even flinch under the touch, but his cheeks do redden a little sdfghsdkjg-- his inner ten-year-old tells him to whine and lean into it. he's grown up now, however, so the most he does when he listens to that part of him is lean a bit, a smile still on his face. ]
I'll get some rest when Schneizel wakes up. [ and then he admits something quietly, eyes closing as he fights the urge to shake his head. ] I haven't been able to sleep that well, knowing the two of you were in a sleep coma. [ b-but the royals's health before his forever :( ] The feeling unwell, on the other hand, just started a day or two ago, so it's alright.
[He better keep that head up as high as can be. (yea)]
I'm glad to hear that. [She wouldn't know what's illegal and what's not, but she'll take Suzaku's word for it. No cheating, boys. :|
When his cheeks redden the slightest bit, hers do too -- because even if she's confused about her feelings for him at this point, she'll probably forever be an awkward turtle when it comes to affection with him. Platonic, romantic, even possibly sibling affection one day. It doesn't really matter, still gonna be awkward.]
I... I'm sorry we've caused you so much worry, Suzaku -- but please, rest a bit. I'm awake now, and I can watch over brother until you're feeling better. [Smileeee don't even try to say no -- how can he worry about them if he makes himself sick to death? :c] After all, wouldn't it be best to get over it now, before it gets worse? ... I'd hate to see you get sick because of us...
[ action ] YES ALWAYS AND FOREVER-- C8 /cuddles! <333keptdownAugust 25 2011, 02:16:27 UTC
[ as long as there are no Britannians around to make him feel inferior (yea)-- oh wait 8)a ]
Maybe you can learn, too- it's a little less complex than chess. [ at least to him. and anything that doesn't immediately warrant an ass whooping from Lelouch strategy-wise is a godsend.
just kind of. sits there with his red face, unsuring all over the place. but strangely enough, no part of him really wants to get up and (get out) move, even if he's the slightest bit uncomfortable. he's happy that she'd still touch him after all that's happened, but all he can think back to is (blood, blood all over her, staining her dress, and--) a more unhappy time.
not that it shows on his face because now he's blinking and shaking his head a bit. he reaaally doesn't want to say no, but- ] It's fine. I can watch over him when I go back to our room. [ pause. pauuuse. ] It won't get worse. I'll take medicine.
[ then he thinks. and overthinks. ] Besides, fevers don't last that long. [ ... ] Right?
[ action ] BLUH LIFE I'M SORRY THIS IS SO LATE *AGAIN* ;;naivelysanguineAugust 30 2011, 00:59:34 UTC
[They better not try anything like that... she won't hesitate to slap some manners into them.]
I'd certainly enjoy that. [Not that she'd ever be anywhere near good enough to beat any of them, but merely being given the time to learn is enough for her.
She shifts a bit, unhappy with his own insistence on being stubborn and not wanting to compromise. Neither one of them wanted to back down in this situation, it was clear to her. It certainly made disagreements much more difficult to manage when both parties insisted on being stubborn mules all of the time. She finally heaves a sigh before reaching over and impulsively clasping his hand with her own -- offering a squeeze and a resigned smile before letting go as she stands up.]
It's clear that you don't intend to give in any time soon, so as long as you promise to take something before you end up being the bedridden one...
[ action ] IT'S ALRIGHT. /squeezes!! life is a butt :CkeptdownSeptember 1 2011, 02:43:22 UTC
[ y e s this is good, then. ]
And I'd be happy to teach you. [ the happiest! perhaps beat Suzaku! dC: Suzaku is nice enough to.. hold back... yes... shogi, one of his favorite games.
at that offered squeeze, he smiles a bit and squeezes back, watching as she lets go and slightly. going to tip over. only to catch himself and stand with her. ]
I promise to take something, then. [ a beat. ] I apologize for worrying you- but, I feel it's my responsibility to take care of all of you. [ and he really is sorry! but. this is his duty 8( ] I know that the sleep comas aren't my fault, but I... want to be there for you and the others.
[ seeing as there isn't much he can really do beyond all of this. ]
[ action ] ♥ ! that is is... :cnaivelysanguineSeptember 4 2011, 02:55:06 UTC
Wonderful. [Her eyes might light up a bit at that. Suzakuuu... no letting her win. She'll know that he's holding back, and that's not allowed. Nope.jpg. :|
She's glad to see things progressing in a more... normal manner in regards to Suzaku now. The first month had been abundantly awkward and his behaviour a bit strange, but now things were certainly much smoother.]
That relieves me to hear. [A nod.] I understand, Suzaku... and please, don't apologize for doing what you deem necessary. I'm certain everyone else appreciates your care and concern just as much as I do. You're very important to us.
[ ah- he'll smile a bit when he sees that- aaa he'll try not to hold back then, and just feel bad if he wins.
and, somehow, he doubts that 'important' bit. he'll reluctantly accept it in regards to Euphy, half-accept it if they're talking about Schneizel and Mami, and scoff if they're talking about Sayaka. but, not going to do any of that; too much explanation needed for that. he'd rather nod and go along with it. he's good at doing that, even better at just settling.
and so for her, he nods in response. ] I can only hope. Sayaka and Mami have had to watch me run around the house since you and Schneizel fell asleep. I couldn't tell when either of you were going to wake up. [ then, shaking his head. AND HE WONDERS... ] Are you hungry?
beyond the fever, he's just happy Euphy's awake. he almost moves to hug her. almost. holds himself back, just in case. ]
Ah, almost a month- I'm glad you're awake now, regardless.
