But It's Better If You Do

Sick Day (Part 4)

Kurloz, confused, looked over at Mikado and Mituna; he nodded coolly and sat next to me on the bed. "You all up and okay, motherfucker?" he asked brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. I nodded leaning in to his touch; his hands were really warm compared to how cold the room was. Mikado grimaced, muttering to herself about the interaction.

Not long after doctor came in the room. He didn't say anything; he simply stuck a tongue depressor in my mouth and examined my throat. The doctor looked over at Kurloz questioningly.

"You two don't have extreme sex, do you?" he asked.

Gamzee spit out his soda, Mikado covered her face, Mituna's eyes widened, and Kurloz choked on air. "We're not a thing; she's just my best friend." He gaped. The doctor removed the tongue depressor from my mouth.

"Aubergine, how'd you get scars in your throat?" He inquired.

I shrugged. "Screaming?" I asked more than stated.

"Screaming for what?" the doctor questioned probably thinking it had something to do with Kurloz.

"Screaming to rock music." I admitted.

"Well, you might wanna give your vocals time to relax because you've managed to cause lacerations to your throat. And regarding today's visit, you have appendicitis. We'll have your appendix removed later on today and you should be good to go home tomorrow." The doctor smiled before leaving the room. He glared at Kurloz a little before leaving.

"What the motherfuck was that about?" Kurloz asked glaring at the door.

"You mad, brah?" Mituna questioned.

"Or nah?" Gamzee added.

I giggled to myself and the door opened once more.

"Oh, Aubergine, I'm so glad to see you're awake." the voice called. It was her.

Kurloz growled before standing up. "Relax, babe, I can't believe you didn't tell me out sweet little Abby was sick." Meulin spat venomously.

"I told you to fuck off. I don't wanna have anything to do with you." Loz growled. She always had to have her way, but not this time.

"Why not?" she hissed.

"Meulin, why don't you just leave? This is so uncool and so not the place to start shit unless you plan on staying here for the next week or two." Mikado glowered. Sure Mikado was cute and sweet, but she was also known to beat up even the toughest of guys and this time she wasn't bluffing. Mituna grabbed her arm waiting to see how Meulin would react.

"Go." Loz growled again. Meulin weighed her options and left with a loud huff. I lay in bed clutching my side, a sudden pain jolted through my body.

"Sis-" Kurloz started.

"I'm fine." I lied. My face twisted in pain and I groaned. Mikado went to get the doctor and Loz sat next to me . I curled up into his side and whimpered. He pulled me onto his lap and I leaned against his chest fisting his shirt in my hands.

"Everything'll be okay soon." He whispered.
