Library [11/12]

[likethegun]

Sam had enjoyed being at John and Aeryn's wedding over the weekend, but now that he was back and in school mode, he was thinking about his vision again, and what it might have meant. Luckily, he just so happened to have a whole library of books at his disposal today.

"What?" Cough. "Yeah, I'm... fine. Really." He shrugged. "How're you?" Followed by another coughing fit.

"Not currently losing a lung," Peter said. Not that he could. At least he was pretty sure he couldn't. "Sure you don't need any water or anything?"

Getting the coughs under controls, Ronan nodded a bit. "Maybe a little?" he said. "I, uh... Y'know, you saved my life." Coherency? Logical progression? Who needs those?

"It's just water, but you're welcome," Peter said. He decided to see if he could try steering Ronan over to a chair.

"When I was away. Your powers. They saved me." Which was probably even more confusing and less coherent. Also, it said something about how bad he was resolutely not feeling that he let himself be steered to that chair, although he did resist a little actually sitting down in it.

Well now Peter was curious. "You were able to copy my powers?"

He may have also been trying to subtly check Ronan's visual symptoms as long as they were talking.

"The idea, the chameleon, it-" Ronan's explanation was interrupted by another coughing fit; this time, it was so intense that he doubled over, unconsciously leaning against Peter for support.

The rash was spreading down Ronan's arms, if Peter thought to pull up his sleeves a bit to check.

"Okay, maybe we're going to stop talking for right now," Peter said. He was happy to let Ronan lean on him. Both because he liked offering support, and because it let him do a better symptom check. "How long have you had a fever?"

"Wha-?" Ronan's eyes were going a bit glassy as his fever spiked, and his legs were becoming increasingly unsteady and unable to support him. "No- no fever-"

Peter put the inside of his wrist against Ronan's forehead. "You're burning up. And you really need to sit."

Re: Fourth Period [11/12]

"No, no, I'm-" Ronan swayed dizzily. "I'm fine, I-"

Which would be when he collapsed on the floor in front of Peter.

"Ronan!" Peter knelt down beside him. He checked for a pulse, then tried to rouse him. "Open your eyes for me, okay?"

Since the need was even more urgent, Peter did a quick check for any other obvious symptoms. This would be when he moved Ronan's sleeve and noticed the rash. He kept his thought of crap to himself, since he didn't want to project any of his worry onto Ronan.

Ronan managed to open his eyes, rousing a bit at Peter's attempts. "I'm fi-" More coughing. "Fine, really. I just need to rest a bit. Just rest."

Re: Fourth Period [11/12]

"Good idea," Peter said. He moved to pull Ronan up as gently as possible. "In fact, I know just the place. I'll take you there. Won't even have to walk if you don't want to."

Ah, joys of superstrength plus TK. And of not really caring if he made it to class when he had someone who needed help.

"... Okay," Ronan murmured, barely conscious. As Peter lifted him, he unconsciously snuggled in a little bit, closer to the warmth of Peter's body.

"Be there before you know it," Peter promised. He pulled strength into the mix, since Ronan seemed to be comforted by being close, and took him to the clinic (http://community.livejournal.com/fandom_clinic/408913.html?thread=9322321#t9322321).
