[Mayfield Elementary]

[Those who know Hajime will find that he is not his usual cheery, outgoing self today. He's quiet and withdrawn in class and even sitting on the sidelines at recess]

[Streets]

[Hajime is walking home. Or at least trying to. He's not managing to go very fast and has to stop and sit on the sidewalk from time to time]

[5570 Cunningham]

[He's finally made it "home". He stumbles in through the front door]

Ukraine? I don't feel so good...

Streets

[romanovs]

Little one?

[He'll catch up with the boy quickly. The boy was somehow related to his big sister, so he feels responsible for him.]

Re: Streets

[splashpuppy]

Oh... hi.

[He's trying to be polite, but it's taking energy]

[romanovs]

You seem to be very sick, yes?

[Kneeling down next to him.]

[splashpuppy]

Mmhmm. I woke up feeling really crummy.

[romanovs]

Are you headed home?

[splashpuppy]

[A small nod]

Yeah... umm, Ukraine's, I mean.

[Somewhere along the line, he'd started thinking of that as home]

[romanovs]

You should not walk alone if you do not feel well, yes?

[He'll bend up and unless Hajime fights him or steps away, the boy will get picked up to be carried back to Ukraine's.]

[splashpuppy]

Thank you.

[He slumps against Russia. It's all just... too much.]

[romanovs]

[Russia will carry him home very easily, he's not that heavy and Russia is just very strong.]

Next time this happens, you will call me right away, yes?

[splashpuppy]

[It's quiet, but he answers]

Okay.

[romanovs]

[Russia'll carry him home and into his bed unless someone stops him.]

Action ☆ Elementary

[vividly]

Hajime?

[ Vivio comes to stand with him at recess, looking concerned. ]

Is everything okay? You've been really quiet...

Re: Action ☆ Elementary

[splashpuppy]

My head hurts and I'm kinda sleepy.

Home

[motheringnation]

Hajime?

[Ukraine has some wounds on her, but luckily they're not bad, and most seem to be scars. She comes over quickly.]

What's wrong dear?

Re: Home

[splashpuppy]

My head hurts... and my tummy feels funny.

[motheringnation]

Oh dear.

[Just going to pull you into the house and feels your forehead.]

You might be coming down with something. Let's get you out of your winter things and you can lay down inside.

[Considering the wound on her back, she doubts that's what it is, but still. She doesn't want to worry him.]

[splashpuppy]

That sounds good.

[His hands shake a bit as he starts peeling off his hat and mitts]

[motheringnation]

[Helps him with his things and then takes his hand and leads him to his room.]

Did this just start this morning?

[splashpuppy]

[He nods]

When I woke up I was still really tired.

[motheringnation]

It's probably just the flu. Or something like that.

[She'll open the door and turn the lights on. And pull out some spare pj's for him.]

Here, you can change into these. They'll be more comfortable.

Tell me. How do you feel? Your stomach? Head?

[splashpuppy]

Thank you... is it cold in here?

[He shivers]

I kinda feel like I might throw up. And my head really hurts.

[motheringnation]

Not really. But we'll get you in bed and it'll be warmer there.

I'll get something for your head and you just change and crawl into bed, alright?

[splashpuppy]

Okay.

[And he practically is crawling over to the bed to get those jammies]

[motheringnation]

[And she'll come back a moment later with a pill and a glass of water.]

Here. Take this. It will help your head feel better.

[splashpuppy]

[He's managed to get changed and is sitting on the bed. His hand shakes as he takes the offer]

Thank you.

[motheringnation]

[She sits on the side of the bed.]

You're welcome. Do you want me to stay in here with you?

[splashpuppy]

Could you? Just until I'm asleep?

[motheringnation]

Of course.

[She leans forward to give him a kiss on the forehead.]

[splashpuppy]

Thank you.

[He smiles at the kiss and then snuggles into the blankets, trying to find a comfortable position]

Home

[halfalegend]

What's wrong? [Hajime's not looking for Chris, but it's not like he can just ignore that...]

Re: Home

[splashpuppy]

I feel really sore everywhere...

[Just... going to lean against the wall here]

[halfalegend]

Did something happen? [He's going to try and support the poor kid, maybe get him to his room.]

[splashpuppy]

I woke up feeling really crummy.

[He leans against Chris. Almost there...]

[halfalegend]

Oh. Are you sick, then? [Chris is still pretty sturdy, despite his lack of super strength, fortunately.]

[splashpuppy]

I think so...

[He coughs, more or less confirming that]

[halfalegend]

Oh.

Being sick really sucks, huh? [He has sympathy. Gonna try and get you into a bed, kid.]

[splashpuppy]

Maybe it won't be as bad as... before.

[He's felt like this before. And it wasn't good.]

[halfalegend]

What happened before?

[splashpuppy]

A couple weeks before you got here... everything was destroyed. We hid in the basement. And then I got sick...

[He doesn't really like thinking about it]

[halfalegend]

Oh. I'm sorry. That sounds really bad. [To put it lightly.]

[splashpuppy]

I don't feel quite that bad this time.

[He really doesn't want to do that again]

[halfalegend]

That's good. [A little relief here.] So maybe you just need to rest?

[splashpuppy]

A nap... sounds nice.
