[the_zackman]

*hello, Cuddy's house! arrived a little later than he'd hoped, but knocks on the door anyway. is wearing a hooded sweatshirt and jeans, hands in his pockets, looking around at all the Christmas decorations on the street. the mako glow of his eyes is a little more evident in the dim, snow-lit evening*

[is lying in bed with her hands bandaged and a cool cloth on her forehead despite the fact that she's shivering.]

[murmuring, almost scolding, Haruhi for being on the roof for that long without something warm. She hears the doorbell ring and tucks Haruhi in more, the blanket covering her up to her chin and goes downstairs. Opens the door and OHSHII-- MAKO EYES]

[the_zackman]

[didn't mean to scare you, sorry. :<] Hey. Cuddy, right? I'm Zack. Sorry for dropping by so late.

[drcuddles.livejournal.com]

... You're Zack? Come in, it's freezing out there.

[the_zackman]

Thanks. *steps inside* How's Haruhi doing?

[drcuddles.livejournal.com]

[stretching out her arms to take his coat?]

She has a slight fever and the chills, nothing that some medicine can't do.

[the_zackman]

[hands it over with another thanks and takes off his shoes]

For being sick, anyway. [rubs the back of his neck] Is Roxas still here?

[drcuddles.livejournal.com]

... I don't know, he brought her down for me, but I don't know if he stayed or not. I know that Axel wasn't here.

[the_zackman]

That's not surprising. [said dryly, knows that Axel and Haruhi probably shouldn't be in the same vicinity right now anyway. lead the way!]

[leading Zack upstairs and rounding the corner into her bedroom]

Haruhi has taking a liking to my bed.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[is still curled up in Cuddy's bed shivering, but she's pulled the cloth off her forehead and is now watching the snow through the window]

[drcuddles.livejournal.com]

[sitting on the bed and reaching over to Haruhi to turn her over and place the cloth over her head]

Did you take the medicine I gave you?

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

nnngh

[tries to pull away from the cloth]

It's cold.

[totally trying to dodge the medicine question]

[the_zackman]

[leaning against the doorway, watching] Better listen to the doctor, Firecracker.

[drcuddles.livejournal.com]

[pressing her the back of her hand against her forehead]

Well your fever has gone down; and I see the medicine on the nightstand.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[closes her eyes, Cuddy's hand is warm]

I don't want it.

[the_zackman]

[walks into the room] You won't get better if you don't take it.

[drcuddles.livejournal.com]

[looking at Zack, a smile on her face]

See.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[trying to sit up, still shivering]

But it's...gross.

[drcuddles.livejournal.com]

Haruhi, you won't get better.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

...T-that's not true and you know it.

[drcuddles.livejournal.com]

[wrapping her arm around her shoulders and brining her close]

Just take them, seriously.

[the_zackman]

The longer you stay sick, the longer you'll have to take them. I speak from experience.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

.....[curls up against Cuddy before taking the medicine, swallowing it and gagging.]

[pager going off on the nightstand]

Haruhi is going to be falling asleep in half an hour, and I have to go in, apparently. I can give you guys about that time.

[setting Haruhi down and getting to get her coat]

I won't be long, I just have to tell someone 'No'. Then I can get you settled in.

[Please don't rob her]
