[Third try's the charm. Or is it the sixth? He can't remember. You'd think after months spent in the bowels of the coldest villages imaginable, sleeping under the stars and in caves while weathering the elements would have turned his immune system to stone.

Instead he finds himself red around the nose and congested, slouching on his bed and ( Read more... )

I'll let our boss know, Sasuke. Once again, keep yourself wrapped up.

I'll get some ginger at the market, too.

[Filtered] switch_it_off February 6 2010, 22:41:44 UTC

I'm fine. Don't bother.

[Filtered] shar1ngan February 6 2010, 22:43:30 UTC

Don't be foolish, brother. Better to get well quickly.

[Filtered] switch_it_off February 6 2010, 22:47:43 UTC

[Can you tell he isn't used to this? Being taken care of, being fretted over, it leaves him uneasy and confuses him. He's quiet for a long time before finally switching on the voice function, raspy and tired.]

I just need rest.

[Filtered] shar1ngan February 6 2010, 22:50:36 UTC

[Voice is easier for him, too]

Yes, you do need rest, and warmth. And a bit of ginger tea won't hurt. Our moth-- [Short, awkward pause] ...It's an effective remedy.

Re: [Filtered] switch_it_off February 6 2010, 22:56:35 UTC

... yeah. [Itachi keep digging in like this without intending to. It makes Sasuke flinch, something he's glad his brother can't see.]

[Filtered] shar1ngan February 6 2010, 22:58:43 UTC

[He's so not used to having someone he can talk to about...anything.]

[Soft] I'm sorry. [A little louder] I'll be back soon with the tea.

[Filtered] switch_it_off February 6 2010, 23:42:27 UTC

Don't. You'll just get sick too, you're already - [He breaks off, coughing, but it's for the best. He doesn't know how to put this to words, what he feels when it comes to ... this.

The fear and exhilaration he'd felt that time he'd watched Itachi coughing blood between his fingers like a river, and then the horror when he realized what it meant. What it really meant, it made it all too real, too permanent.

He never wants to see that again. Not because of him. Not because of anything.]

Re: [Filtered] shar1ngan February 6 2010, 23:53:37 UTC

[He's silent for a long time] I'll be all right, Sasuke... That...there isn't much that can be done.

...If I'm going to catch what you have, I'll catch it. I don't want to be...separated from you.

[Filtered] switch_it_off February 7 2010, 00:01:32 UTC

It doesn't ... mean I want to make it worse. [If there's no way to convince him otherwise, at least he's mumbled it into his hands, frustrated, exhausted. His ignorance already killed his brother once.

He doesn't want to bring about that death again. He doesn't think he can survive losing him again.]

Re: [Filtered] shar1ngan February 7 2010, 00:09:25 UTC

[He's torn, honestly. Like Sasuke, he's not used to someone worrying about him, and he's happy to have the chance to care for his brother for once. To make him feel better, in his small ways. But he recognizes the frustration and the worry in Sasuke.]

...Would it be better for you if I leave it outside the door?

[Filtered] switch_it_off February 7 2010, 05:20:34 UTC

[His mouth opens, and he wants to say 'do that,' and inject his tone with a coldness to drive Itachi away. But instead, he mumbles something contrary and tired, and hates himself for giving in. If Itachi takes ill, he'll never forgive himself.]

no...

Re: [Filtered] shar1ngan February 7 2010, 05:25:59 UTC

[Silent for a long moment. Does that mean Sasuke wants him to bring it in after all? Or does he not want any coddling from his brother at all?]

I'll...bring it in, then. Just don't sneeze on me.
