Liam spelt most of the morning, he woke up sweating and with a high temperature. He groaned and sighed, he never got sick. He wobbly walked to the kitchen to take some tablets and the pills his doctor had prescribed him. Liam very nearly collapsed in the kitchen but made it to the couch before passing out under a pile of blankets.
Kasey looked down at her leg and sighed. It was probably best to move it as little as possible, but she was hungry…
HARPER, WAKE UP!
She felt her brother's mind stir and practically groan.
What do you want, Kasey?
I'm hungry but can't get out of bed…
Why not?
Were you not watching me yesterday?
Yeah, but what does that– Oh. Never mind. What do you want to eat?
Just cereal is fine.
All right, Kasey could hear the sigh in his thoughts. Give me a minute.
Thanks.
Liam woke up a few minuets later to Mortem kneading his back before lying down on him. Liam sighed and grabbed his phone to text Kasey.
LIAM: Morning, Kasey. I'd ask what time you'd want me to come over but I've come down with a fever and Mortem is currently lying on my back. I don't think I'll be able to come over. If I can, I'll let you know.
Kasey paused what she was doing and reached over to her nightstand to grab her phone. Seeing the message from Liam, she frowned.
KASEY: You can still come over if you want. Harper can be our slave for the day.
Liam cracked a small smile.
LIAM: I don't want to infect you, though. Honestly I don't think I can make it the few steps to your place.
KASEY: What if I get Harper to carry you? Lol.
She giggled as she sent the text, then finished her food.
Liam rolled his eyes but smiled.
LIAM: Maybe I can walk over, I don't think Harper would even want to carry me.
Kasey grinned and set her bowl back down on her nightstand again.
KASEY: True, true… Anyway, you don't have to come over if you're not up to it. Or if you don't want to.
LIAM: I do want to come over and see you, now it's just the matter of getting my stupid cat off by back.
Liam took a photo of his current situation to go along with his text.
Kasey laughed at the picture, then grinned when she saw Quake trot into her room. The kitten jumped up into her bed and settled on her lap. Thinking it a great opportunity for a cute picture, Kasey took a selfie with the calico.
KASEY: Lol. Look who just joined me.
LIAM: Cuties, that's going as my new phone background. Hehe
Liam smiled and took a screenshot of the photo and set it as his background, Mortem stirred a little and hit him over the head and Liam stopped moving.
LIAM: My stuipd cat just hit me!
KASEY: Wait, what?!? But that's a terrible picture of me!
Serves you right for bothering him. Lol.
She chuckled as Quake kneaded her stomach, her tiny paws not putting much pressure on her.
LIAM: Nah, it's cute. And I didn't do anything but move a little! Stop taking his side.
Liam sighed and laughed a little, Mortem purring away happily.
Kasey sighed and shook her head, reaching up to run a hand through her hair.
KASEY: My hair is a mess, and I look like I just woke up… Probably because I basically did.
And, hey, if you sit up Mortem can't lay on you.
LIAM: But I don't wanna moooooove.
Liam rested his head on the couch and groaned a little.
KASEY: Well, then don't. I'd shrug if you could see me…
LIAM: Aha, so, if I can move, I'll be over in an hour or so? If that's fine by you?
Kasey grinned as she pet Quake.
KASEY: Sounds great! I might take a nap until then, for lack of things to do. :P
LIAM: Aha, alrighty, I'll go shower a be over soon, see you then x
Liam sighed and gently moved Mortem off his back who didn't seem very happy with him before going to shower.
KASEY: See you in a bit!
With a sigh, she set her phone down on her nightstand and closed her eyes. She fell asleep with her hand on Quake's back a few minutes later, exhausted from the wound sapping all her energy.
Liam showered and took his time, letting the water rush over him. He sighed and put some clothes on, as well as a jumper even though his skin felt hot he felt cold. He sighed and fed his cat before realising it had been just over an hour and he headed to Kasey's, knocking on the door quietly.
Kasey was still asleep, so she didn't hear Liam at the door. Harper, on the other hand, was wide awake. He walked over from the kitchen, where he was looking around and making a grocery list, and opened the door.
"I'm assuming you are here for my sister?" he asked Liam, letting him inside.
Liam nodded and ran a hand through his hair, stepping into the apartment, "Yeah, I said I'd be over an hour ago and I take it Kasey is still fast asleep?"
Harper nodded. "Yeah, she is."
He looked Liam over and frowned a bit. "You okay? You don't look too good."
Liam sighed, "It's just a cold of some kind, I've taken some tablets for it but I told Kasey I'd come over so, here I am."
