Isaac and Zac
Isaac woke bright and early that morning (for a change). He got dressed and organised himself breakfast. SOmetime during this, a bedraggled Zac got out of bed.
"I take it you're not feeling better?"
Zac was too miserable to answer.
"Do you want me to tend to Saku today?"
Zac looked up at Isaac hopefully.
"Thanks," he said quietly.
"No problem."
Isaac hoped that, when this was all over, Zac wouldn't go back to being mad at him. He made his way to Saku's bed.
"Hey Saku," he said. "Aww, you're still asleep."
He touched his forehead, then paused. The smile on his face faded.
"Oh no..." he whispered. "You've got it too."
Saku
Saku woke up, feeling all muzzy headed as he felt Ike touch him. It was so cold. He opened his mouth to mew in protest and try to snuggle back under the blankets but was hit by a bout of coughing and sneezing instead. He then tried to open his eyes, and was quite terrified to find he couldn't. He scrubbed at them desperately, and rubbed off enough of the gunk so that he could finally open them. "I don't feel good," he told Ike faintly, then lay straight back down, too scared to close his eyes for more then a second in case he couldn't open them.
Isaac and Zac
"Oh man..." Isaac breathed.
He pulled the covers up over him.
"I'll get you some water okay?"
He stood and hurried to the little kitchen.
"Saku's sick too," Isaac told Zac.
"Wha'?" Zac looked up at him with a worried expression.
"He's sick. Don't worry, I'll look after him, like I said I would."
Isaac got some water, and as an afterthought a damp cloth and some tissues. He hurried back to Saku and wiped his face gently with the cloth, then he held him up gently and held the water to his lips.
"Here," he said softly.
Saku
Saku drank thirstily. Cool, cool water. Good. He licked his lips, then rubbed his face with his hand. Cold. "It's cold..." he told Ike, shivering slightly. Then he sneezed. Coughing followed soon after that, great wracking coughs that tore up through his chest.
Isaac
Isaac rubbed Saku's back and drew the covers around him closer.
"I'll check if you have any warmer clothes," he told Saku.
He waiting until the coughing fit was over and then started going through Saku's things. Okay, that looked warmer. Swiftly, Isaac got Saku changed and put on some additional covers.
"Let me know if you get too hot, okay?" He instructed him.
Saku
"Mmmhmmm," Saku said as he tried to curl up into a ball and conserve body heat. He felt so sick and so tired, but he couldn't go cat cos then it got worse. He willed himself not to cry, rubbing a hand tiredly over his eye.
Isaac and Zac
Isaac chewed his lip, not sure what else to do. Water, warmth, all available. Tissues too... oh speaking of which...
Isaac wiped Saku's nose with the tissue. Poor kid. He was having a worse time of it than Zac was.
"How is he?" Zac asked tiredly.
Not that Zac was doing well.
"He's really sick," Isaac replied quietly.
Zac closed his eyes and leaned against the wall.
"You sure you can handle today?"
"Yeah... I just... I can make it, I'm sure. I just need some sleep."
Isaac nodded.
"You get all the sleep you need. I'll ask Mouse if she can keep an eye on Saku when we're busy."
"Thank you. I'm gonna go have a nap."
"Okay."
Saku
Saku sniffled quietly to himself, feeling very das and sorry for himself. He hadn't been sick before...well, not like this. This hurt, and he felt bad, and he wanted his mama. "I want my mama," he confided mournfully, before falling into a fever ridden sleep.
Isaac
Isaac looked down at his nephew worriedly.
"Of course you do, Saku. Of course you do."
He wondered just where Nyx was.
