Only The Good Die Young

Oct 11, 2010 23:53

Ray was dying. Actually dying. Right in the middle of the room and nobody cared. He could keel over on the sofa at any moment and no-one would bat an eyelid.

He was a pro at self-pity but the look on his face brought a whole new meaning to it. His stuffed up nose peeked above the blanket tucked under his chin and he sniffed, then rolled his eyes ( Read more... )

"And here I thought you were a picture of feminine solidarity," Sally deadpanned as she walked right into the rec room and wandered straight into Hank's path. A comment like that simply couldn't go without retort and she felt she was forced to make it.

"Come on, I'm a picture of Sally solidarity," Hank corrected, swinging the laptop up and under his arm and holding out his other elbow for her to take. Ever the gentleman was Hank. "You know you're the only woman here for me."

"Currently, it seems I am," she agreed with a quick quip, taking his elbow because well, she wasn't cold. "You do know I don't care if you bring someone back to the room, right? So long as you don't make me watch you two have sex. And so long as she has some flaw I can make myself feel better with."

Hank quirked an eyebrow in amusement as he looked down at Sally. "Find a flaw. Got it." Maybe it was a good thing Karen wasn't on the island then; although knowing his roommate, she'd probably find fault with Karen being too tall or something.

"How's it going between you and Billy-Bob-whatshisface? Test driven his pinky finger yet?"

Carolyn's lips twitched in amusement as she made her way over to the bookshelf. Manly? She couldn't help but wonder what he thought was manly, but she kept questions to herself.

Though the other man's sniffling caused her to look over her shoulder again. "Lemon juice with honey in hot water will help with your cold," she informed him.

"Great." Ray pulled up the blanket and settled his head back on the armrest of the couch more comfortably. He could get used to people bringing him things. "I'll take one of those, thanks."

"What?" Carolyn asked, turning to fully face the guy. She didn't remember offering to get him anything.... Maybe this would teach her to offer advice outside the clinic.

"Heavy on the honey, yeah?" Ray let out a long breath and turned his cheek to the armrest. He wondered whether maple syrup was available on the island. Not that that would do much good without a waffle-maker. "Cheers. Wake me if I've fallen asleep when you're back."

"Shouldn't you be in quarantine or something?" Asher commented from what he thought was a safe distance away. Considering Ray's nose was twice the size of an average one, he made sure that distance was twice as far as it would have been if he was someone with a normal size nose.

"You couldn't have just succumbed to the plague in the comfort of your own place? You gotta take the rest of us with you?" Sure, Asher had once chosen the kitchen as his place to die when he was sick, but Ray wasn't around then. What he didn't know, Asher could (and would) freely bitch about.

"Yes," Ray croaked stubbornly, before turning his head in Asher's direction, closing his eyes and coughing at him. It would serve Asher right if he got sick too. Most of Ray hoped he would.

"Besides, I'm too weak and fragile to keep walking back and forth all the time." Now all he had to do was find a spare bed to sleep in for a couple of nights. "One gust of wind and I might keel over."

"Poor baby," Asher drawled, not sounding the least bit sympathetic. Any pity he might have had for him was killed by that cough.

"So stay in the clinic. Not only will the staff wait on you, but they actually signed up to deal with death germs all day."

"I'm a big boy." That didn't mean Ray didn't want the kind of attention that came with being cared for though. The attention he was receiving right now from Asher he could happily do without, however. "Doctors are for the old and the wounded. Like that guy you shot." He sniffed, satisfied, and shut his eyes again. That ought to have done it.
