12th Bite is a FAIL of epic proportions

Morning, Slytherin Dormitory

[That Sunday Rin wakes up with a snotty nose and a skull-splitting headache and groans. He supposes after what happened last night he should have expected it, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. He'd been thrashing around all night, but only managed to fall into a light slumber in the wee morning hours dreaming weird dreams of frozen cucumbers, and being convicted at court with his pants down. If he was feverish, that explained those at least.

He dreads the Great Hall. He left Ravenclaw tower in a hurry and has no idea how things progressed from there. Maybe Gareki managed to convince everyone they saw a ghost, but somehow, Rin doubts it. He should just say he's sick and not go to breakfast, he's not hungry anyway. But that would be admitting he's sick, which would cause Sousuke go into full blown mother hen mode, which Rin can't stand. And he's worried about Gareki. He feels sorry for leaving his boyfriend to weather the storm, and he needs to know he's okay and just how much trouble Rin's idiocy has gotten them into. He should man up and brave the giant. Although he's pretty sure by now all of the castle knows.

Rin groans again.]


Breakfast, Great Hall

[Saying bravely he'll face the giant and bravely doing it are however two different things. Rin sits at the Slytherin table, convinced his head is about to explode. The food in front of him keeps turning his stomach, the glare of the morning light from the ceiling is too bright and the chatter is louder and livelier than ever before. Even worse is, that he can hear every single word from the neighbouring Ravenclaw table, every single ONE. They're loud and unrestrained and when Rin had stumbled into the Great Hall several minutes ago, ready to just sit down and not move, not a few of those nosy people looked at him for a brief moment, before continuing to talk louder.

He can feel the stares boring into him, as he sits with his back to them.

He had wanted to find and talk to Gareki, once he'd be safe on his legs again, and wasn't likely to collapse in the middle of the Hall, but now he's not so sure that being anywhere close to the Ravenclaw table is a good idea. It's bad enough it neighbours to Slytherin's already.

Rin groans for the upteenth time that hour, bangs his head against the table and keeps it there. The wood is at least cooler than his hand. Small favors, really.]


Bonus: Infirmary

[He ends up being dragged into the infirmary by the pains he calls his friends and teammates, when he almost collapses from fever that morning. This is also where he spends the complete week, because Madame Pomfrey is relentless. The first few days are spent between half-awake and restless sleep, the rest he's lying in the bed, snotty, grumbling, week and frustrated, waiting for his body temperature to get back to normal. He'll bark and complain a lot during this time, basically, if you brave a visit, expect behavior of a giant baby.]

((ooc: He's referring to this incident from last night, which is NSFW (but so, so hilarious), so read at your own caution, I am jst putting it here to make sense.))

((EDITED! Because Sousuke, Adela and Kise are major pains and Rin almost fainted from fever.))

I heard it another way.

[ Kise shrugs, not really caring about the finer details of the what and how. He's more concerned with his friend being a big baby and needing to see the school nurse. ]

Guess I'm going to find Sousukecchi~

[ Excuse him. Kise's on his way up, lips curved into a smirk. Hopefully the threat of pulling through on a threat will get Rin to go. ]
overexertion: (Uhh okay)

[His prayers only get him his best friend, who may also be his worst nightmare at the moment, as he'll attempt to lift Rin to his arms. One taxi to the infirmary confirmed.]
overexertion: (What did you just do to Gou)

[personal profile] overexertion 2016-11-20 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Trying to take you to the infirmary, obviously. Did you really think you could hide it from me?
enchantressofore: Thanks to Tarot for the B/W bases! (Are you mocking me?)

Whoops

[personal profile] enchantressofore 2016-11-20 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes you are, Rin.

[ The commotion has finally drawn a certain red head to the Slytherin table, and she's frowning at the taller boy before reaching to flick his forehead. ]

You'd tell me the same thing if I looked and sounded the way you do right now. And it's got to be less embarrassing to go yourself than to let Sousuke carry you there.
overexertion: (Sulky)

[personal profile] overexertion 2016-11-20 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Which I will do, if you don't go by yourself.
enchantressofore: Thanks to Tarot for the B/W bases! (Walking with nature)

[ It's a good thing she can tell when Rin actually means what he says and when he's just being grumpy at this point. This definitely falls under the latter.

It also means the next time she gets a break Rin will get a visitor in the hospital wing, but all in good time. ]
overexertion: (What?)

[personal profile] overexertion 2016-11-20 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Rin--

[At least there's Sousuke to catch him and help him.]

Seriously... you were going to ignore being this sick?
overexertion: (Where was I again...)

[personal profile] overexertion 2016-11-22 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
The talk will pass. Hogwarts is known to get new things to talk about in a few days.

[Sousuke looks around to see if Kise was still nearby. After noticing he's withing earshot, he calls out to the blonde.]

Oi Kise, come help me.
