Sicktember Prompt 4: Pneumonia
The final straw had been when Jack bolted upright in bed at 4am, grasping at his chest with one hand and Robby’s thigh with the other.
“Can’t breathe,” he panted, and Robby had seen his eyes wide, panicked, even in the dim light of the bedroom. “Fuck- ow.”
“That’s it,” Robby hid his alarm behind his unyielding, reserved for the most difficult of patients, ‘I’m-the-attending-and-you-will-listen-to-me' voice. “We’re going in.”
“Not the Pitt,” Jack managed to moan out in-between wheezes, “not the Pitt.”
“Baby, Presbytarian is another 20 minutes away, and Shadyside is even further. God, you could be having a PE-”
“No,” Jack pleaded, “not the Pitt.”

Sicktember Prompt 8: Aches and Pains; or, Angela takes care of Pope after the ambulance crash in 4x08.
His side was the worst. It was a white-hot, gnawing pain, somehow aching, burning and stinging all at once, and he could feel the lacerations there stretching nauseatingly with every movement, shards of glass digging in between his ribs. With another step, the room tilted, and he palmed the frame of the bathroom door for stability, leaning forward as he panted.
A little boy, bottom lip trembling, knees grazed, looking for his mom.

Sicktember 2025 Prompt 3: "Why are you so sweaty?"
Robby frowned and took Jack in. His hair was unstyled in soft silvery curls - normal for a day off - but damp at the edges, sticking to his temples. A droplet of sweat ran down his jaw in front of his ear. There was a flush over his cheeks but the rest of him was deathly pale and drawn. His eyes had a distinct glassy sheen, glazed and unfocussed, the kind someone gets when...
Robby placed his palm against Jack’s forehead. Bingo.
“Jesus, that’s one hell of a fever, baby.”
Oh, Jack thought, yeah. In his exhausted, feverish daze, he hadn’t quite put that together.

Sicktember 2025 Prompt 2: "Forced to go to school/work while sick"
“Don’t start a fight you can’t win,” Dana gave him a stern look over the rim of his glasses, “I’m a nurse, you can’t hide an upper respiratory tract infection from me.”
Jack blinked dumbly.
“Come on,” she urged, “up.”
Dana grabbed him by the arm and forced him to stand, forcing the bottle of water and orange juice into his empty hands.
“I can’t just take a forty-five minute break in the middle of shift,” Jack protested, but followed her lead as she pulled him towards the lounge by the arm.
“I’m not gonna say the ‘q’ word, but we’re doing okay so far,” Dana countered, nodding up at the admittedly (and rarely) under-control board. “We can lose you for a little while you take a nap, you’re not that indispensible,” she bumped his shoulder with hers, winking.

Sicktember 2025 Prompt 1: "It's the middle of the night, why are you up?"
"Jack?" Robby's voice, rough with sleep, cut through the quiet of the apartment. “You out here?”
He paused in the doorway, flicking on the tall lamp behind the couch. Jack was sitting there, hunched over, elbows on his knees and head low, fussing with a spilled cup of water under the coffee table – the source of the clatter.
"It's the middle of the night, why are you up?"

Summary
“Look.” Kendall places his phone down in front of Stewy. There it is, clear as day: ‘Kendall Logan Roy’. Kendall’s taken a picture of the paper, because of course he has. Stewy makes a mental note to get it printed and framed for his next birthday.
“It’s underlined.” Stewy says, slightly confused.
“No, dude, look.” Kendall starts laughing again, and points to the end of the sentence, where the scribbled line starts to divert upwards through ‘Logan Roy’. “It’s crossed out at the end.”
Stewy raises his eyebrows. Shit. It looks like it is.
“Well, uh, I don’t know, Ken … I mean, I thought it was underlined.”
“Shiv and Rome said otherwise.”
Of course they fucking did. Fucking Roys.// or, stewy goes to see kendall after the events of 4x04.

Summary
“Hey, bro.”
Cold. Clinical. Stewy does well to mask his disappointment - he had been poised to offer something, anything: a deliberately stiff hug, a clap on the shoulder. Too many watchful eyes for anything more. That isn’t to say Stewy is surprised. He knows the words behind Kendall’s frosty greeting - don’t touch me, don’t look at me too long, please, I can’t take that right now.
// or, a coda to THAT kenstewy scene in 4x04. we've been well and truly fucking fed ladies.
