WHAT what you want
WHERE where you want
WHEN Day ""135""

[The rain has cleared, but it appears to have left some people with a case of the sniffles! The magic sniffles. Even if you've never been sick a day in your life, you might not find yourself immune. Then again, maybe you have a terrible immune system and you're fine. I'm not the magic sniffles police.

Symptoms May Include:

- runny nose
- sore throat
- fever
- thinking you're going to cough or sneeze but actually what comes out is A BURST OF THE TRUTH
- waking up in someone else's bed
- joint aches

At least the sketchy pop-up pharmacy at the mall has a special on tissues and nyquil?]

[ looks at her bemusedly, still half-asleep, for a moment, then blinks and startles the rest of the way awake ]

Oh dear!

You don't look well.

[personal profile] coldhand 2018-06-23 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I don't feel so well either.

[personal profile] motherloving 2018-06-23 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Usually I remember how someone ended up in my bed...

Well, that's not important!

[ cautiously reaching out to feel her forehead ]

[personal profile] coldhand 2018-06-23 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[unsurprisingly, she's warm. very warm]

Is it bad?

[personal profile] motherloving 2018-06-23 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You're burning up!

[ straightens up a bit, starting to push the blankets away fully--he is at least not totally naked, he's wearing red silk boxers ]

[personal profile] coldhand 2018-06-24 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Shouldn't be able to...

[this is all very confusing

the fever doesn't help]

[personal profile] motherloving 2018-06-28 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Able to?

[ he glances her over, rather professionally ]

Oh, even cyborgs have to be vulnerable sometimes, dear. I hate to say it, but...
coldhand: (pic#12297450)

[personal profile] coldhand 2018-06-29 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Not just that. M'... just not supposed to get sick.

[personal profile] motherloving 2018-06-29 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ frowns a little, gingerly reaches out to touch her face again ]

Magic?
coldhand: (pic#12327950)

[personal profile] coldhand 2018-06-30 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Science.

[the last thing she needs is magic thrown in there too]

[personal profile] motherloving 2018-06-30 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, my! I've never heard of science doing that.

[ frowns ]

But you are sick now...

[personal profile] coldhand 2018-06-30 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[huffing and covering her face]

Seems like. No way around it.

[personal profile] motherloving 2018-06-30 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ purses his lips in thought ]

Do you want some tea with honey?

[ still not particularly fazed by her being in his bed ]
coldhand: (pic#12327952)

[personal profile] coldhand 2018-06-30 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[um? well]

That would be nice. My throat could use it.

[personal profile] motherloving 2018-07-03 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Wait right here, darling.

[ and with that, he rolls out of bed, gets up, grabs a robe (also silk, and patterned with little paw prints), and heads into the kitchen ]

[luxurious. and here Bucky just sleeps in a tank top...]

[personal profile] motherloving 2018-07-03 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ kitchen noises! after a while he returns with tea in a cute pink cherry-blossom-patterned mug and hands it to her ]

It has lemon and honey in it. You'll feel better.
coldhand: (pic#12297446)

[personal profile] coldhand 2018-07-03 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[sits up and takes the mug, nodding—then humming as she drinks]

Thanks. I needed that.

[personal profile] motherloving 2018-07-04 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ offers her a smile ]

I'm called Juliet, by the way. You know, I don't often wake up with a beautiful girl whose name I don't know.
coldhand: (pic#12297450)

[personal profile] coldhand 2018-07-04 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Doubt I'm all that beautiful right now.

Bucky. That's what most people call me.

[personal profile] motherloving 2018-07-04 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
What--seriously? I've been preempted!

[ a beat, and then he clarifies ]

I was going to think of a boy's name for you, but you already have one!
coldhand: (B7)

[personal profile] coldhand 2018-07-04 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Wait... what?

[she laughs]

Nah, my parents beat you to that. My given name is James.

[family names. sometimes it's better not to ask]

[personal profile] motherloving 2018-07-07 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ tilts his head, looking at her thoughtfully now ]

Do you want a girl's name?
coldhand: (pic#12327952)

[personal profile] coldhand 2018-07-07 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
Nah... I'm fine with my name. Nickname.

[whatever]
