Delirious (Oriel)

[Deleted]

Ughhhhh... Being sick sucked.  Not only did this flu have Kodi stuck in bed feeling miserable, but he had to take loads of this gross medicine that made him feel all sleepy and loopy.  Well, more loopy than sleepy - Kodi actually didn't feel like he was going to fall asleep anytime soon.  Mostly because... He was alone and sniffly and just sad that he didn't have someone around to like, give him soup and tell him he'd feel better soon....

Yeah.... The medicine was definitely making him loopy.  Kodi was thinking things he never would have thought without the stuff.  Maybe he'd taken too much...

Whatever the case, the southerner tossed and rolled, trying to get comfortable, but nothing felt good.  He whined out loud, covering his face with a pillow, then blindly reached out to grab his phone on the bedside table.  An idea hit him, and he went to his contacts, which had a total of four numbers.  He hit the one second to the bottom, and started typing a message.

Orioooole.... I have the snifflies and I'm all loooonely... Bring me soup? T-T

He sent it off with a cough and then flopped back down, groaning.  The room was cold, but he felt feverish, hot; he tugged off his shirt and threw it aside, rolling onto his stomach with another moan.  Why couldn't get fucking comfortable!?

When the text message came, Oriel was, as usual, in his room being all domestic with his Squishy-Muffin Butt. That is Phoenix. The boy's broken leg was doing a lot better though it was still going to be a while before it completely healed. They were studying, as best as one who didn't know anything and one who couldn't read anything could study, using their individual strengths to progress more than they would have on their own. Though their grades were still less than stellar, at least they were both steadily improving, to the point where Phoenix might actually be able to graduate this spring!

That thought alone somehow made Oriel sad. But he wasn't going to dwell on it. Nope, totally not necessary and only created equally unnecessary stress.

Oriel's phone buzzed and he pulled it out of his pocket, flipping it open to peer at the screen for a few moments. "The fuck?" he muttered. Oriel leaned over and showed it to his boyfriend with an incredulous stare. "This says what I think it does, right? I ain't crazy?"

Upon confirmation, a bit of coaxing and convincing of his boyfriend to let him go, and a quick trip to the cupboards to pull out some canned soup, Oriel was on his way to the boy's dormitories and, like a boss, barging into the room without knocking, paying no heed to anyone in the common room(there was a derpy little dork who was just asking to be mauled) as he crossed to Kodi's room proper. He let himself in with the announcement, "Everyone get down on their knees and prepare to suck like your life depended on it, for the Evil Overlord has arrived!"

[Deleted]

Kodi was so going to kill himself later. Lock himself in his room and never let anyone see him ever again. This was so out of character, it was ridiculous - he'd never texted someone for help, let along in such a childish way. But there he was, waiting for the other boy to hopefully appear, like a knight in shining armor... With some soup and maybe cuddles.

He was fumbling over to one of his bottles of flu medicine, hoping maybe if he took some more he'd feel a little better when the door burst open, and he jumped, letting out an involuntary squeak. "Oh, it's you!" he trilled upon seeing Oriel's face, apparently oblivious to what the boy had just announced. "I was afraid you wouldn't come, oh, I'm so glad you did!" He was beaming as much as he could with his sickness; his eyes, normally heavily lined and framed with a furrowed brow, were free of any traces of make-up, and his features were more relaxed than they usually were.

Kodi rolled to the side of the bed, and reached an arm out towards his beeest friend, unsure of what he was really reaching for; he just wanted Oriel near him. "Did you bring me some soup an' cuddles?" he slurred, accidentally bumping over a couple bottles on his desk. He then shifted and promptly fell off the side of the bed and onto the floor. He groaned for a second before breaking into manic giggles. "I feel weeeird," he chirped, making no effort to move from where he lay.

[Deleted]

So one uncharacteristic text message later and Oriel was actually doing what it asked because, hey, how often does a rough and foul mouthed psycho-bitch send a message as whiny as that? Without even the slightest of insult? That was more than enough to get Oriel worried about his....friend? Were they friends? They'd had a heap-load of problems, fights, sexual tension, and general snarlings with each other, so it'd be weird to say so. Then again, Oriel considered Jack one of his closest friends and theirs was a relationship built solely on revenge. So...he supposed he and Kodi had a friendship born from fists. And the occasional fuck-a-thon.

Upon entering the room and having his announcement completely ignored, Oriel just stared, completely dumbfounded at the scene taking place before him. Which was basically, Kodi. Smiling. Like a goof. And talking like one too. And without make-up either.

Wow. He must really be out of it to get this bad.

Bad enough to fall off the bed and roll around on the floor like an idiot. And Oriel's first instinct was…..he should take pictures. Film it. Send it to the twins. The ultimate blackmail.

…..maybe he should show some mercy. After all, Kodi was sick. Even Oriel wasn't that evil….maybe….

"Yes I did, I got a whole bunch of soup for you," he started talking to Kodi like he was a mental patient. "First, let's get you back in bed." Oriel set the bag of canned soup aside and kneeled to help the shirtless Kodi get up and back where he belonged. He looked at the empty bottles - yes, bottles - of cold medicine sitting on the nightstand. "Shiit, how much of this did you take." Even Oriel knew better than to take this much.

[Deleted]

Ask Kodi on a regular day, and he'd say like shit they were friends. He just liked Oriel for his attractiveness, his snarkiness, and the fact that they had finally been able to sleep together thanks to the boy's clingy pet for finally giving in an letting him. But regular Kodi was also a chronic liar, even to himself; this drugged up state, as ridiculous as it may be, was probably more honest than he'd been in years. And later, Kodi would regret it. Probably.

Because today, Oriel was Kodi's beeeest friend. His only friend, really. Who else put up with him like this?

Had Oriel taken pictures or filmed the ridiculousness, Kodi would have only laughed and acted even more out of it. Man, whatever that shit was that he drank was really doing something to him. Like alcohol, but intensified.

"Oh my God, you're my fuckin' hero," Kodi gushed, looking up from the floor with adoration at his beautiful knight. "I'm... I'm gonna owe you somethin'. Like... I dunno. Somethin'." Drugged Kodi was also very uncreative. "Bed, right, okay..." He flopped his weight against Oriel as he reached down to help him up, half-pushing himself up, half just relying on the other boy to help him get there. He managed to get halfway onto the bed again when Oriel asked about the medicine. "Uhhhhh... I dunno," he mumbled, face-planting back into his pillow and pulling it close against his chest. "I just kinda drank some... Every few minutes..." How was he supposed to know how it worked? He'd never self-medicated before, and his parents had been the type to rely on faith more than modern medicine. "Tastes awful though," he added, grimacing.

But his train of thought soon changed direction as he peered up at this amazingly handsome guy, a goofy grin still plastered on his face. "Orielllll," he crooned. "You're so pretty. Will you be my girlf... boyf..." He seemed to struggle with this concept for a while before he finally managed,"Will you be my boyfriend and give me cuddles?" Kodi looked up with wide eyes; apparently, he'd completely lost his mind.

[Deleted]

Yeah, yep. Oriel was getting a video of this. Didn't matter if he actually showed it to anyone, this was too hilarious to not keep a permanent record of.

As Kodi rolled and lolled around on the floor, spouting nonsense about Oriel being a hero and something'…..Well, as he did that, Oriel pulled out his cell phone and took a moment to do a little photoshoot. Then pressed the little camera icon to start recording. "Heeey Kodi. How're feeling," he asked, keeping up with the 'you're insane' voice. "Why don't you give up a nice, big smile, okay?"

One that was over and done with, Oriel helped Kodi get into bed. The other boy was heavy, just a bunch of dead weight despite being awake. He rolled his eyes at Kodi's answer. So that's why there were empty bottles of flu medicine sitting next to his bed. And from the looks of it, Kodi just drank the syrup straight from the bottle. Geeze! This guy knew how to read, couldn't he have read the directions or something?? Even Oriel knew you didn't take it like that. Well, now Oriel was a bit worried. "Yeah…I'm sure," he said blandly, taking a seat beside Kodi to tend to him on the bed.

"Will you be my boyfriend and give me cuddles?"

Ughhh….yeah, no. Kodi was gone. Oriel was already not taking anything he said seriously. Oriel sighed. "Position's already taken, but…yeah, I can give you "cuddles"." He leaned over and hugged Kodi into his chest with one arm with a slight scowl. "You know, Kodi…You know you look like shit," and he took way too much medicine. "Maybe you should go to the infirmary and see Dr. Nik or something?"

[Deleted]

As soon as the camera came out, Kodi became the perfect little model, lounging like a lazy cat on his back, rolling around every so often. When Oriel asked out he was doing, Kodi gave a biiiiig grin, waving up at the device. "I feel like... I'm floatin' on a cloud," he slurred, tilting his head and pondering this. "Am I dead?" He considered this some more before suddenly slapping his own cheek, wincing and moving his jaw around. "Nope, that hurt, I'm still kickin'." He gave another bright smile at this fact.

Nope.... Kodi knew nothing about meds. He really should have known better than to try taking it himself, or have actually read what he was supposed to do, but he'd just assumed. And now he got to enjoy all this fun loopiness! And Oriel was here with him and taking care of him! Yay! Without thinking, or warning, he darted in and gave Oriel a big fat kiss on the lips. "Ahehe... I'm like... A damsel in distress... In all those fairy tales... An' you're the prince that comes an' saves me..." Yep... Totally out of it. And book-nerding out. "An' now we kiss an' live happily ever after!"

Fuck, he was going to regret this later.

But the announcement that Oriel was taken made a huge pout come to the sick boy's face. "B-b-but," he whined. Before he could complain more, though, Oriel's arm wrapped around him, and Kodi flopped against him, his mind successfully distracted. "Heee..." His eyes were creased with happiness. He hardly ever got cuddles. Why was that? Did people not like him? Why? "That ain't nice t'say," he complained. "I was too sick t'put on eyeliner or anythin', don't judge meee!" Kodi didn't realize that wasn't really what Oriel meant. As the boy suggested he go to the infirmary, Kodi let out a long, loud whine, burying his head against Oriel's chest. "Nooo, don't take me there, please!" he begged. "They'll like... Stick needles in me an' shit!" He was shivering. "No no no no no...."

[Deleted]

"No….just a little crazy." Though Kodi seemed to want to figure that out for himself. Though if Kodi was willing to hurt himself in this state, then maybe Oriel should keep a closer eye on the boy.

The kiss didn't bother Oriel, though he'd have to say that Kodi was a heck of a lot better kisser when he was….would sober be the right word? Oriel didn't know. He didn't know anything about medicines or what they had in them or what happened when you took too much. All he knew is that he'd heard rumors that you could get drunk off of cough syrup. That and that medicines were also drugs. And he already knew what happened when people took too much of those.

But these couldn't hurt that much, right? After all, they sold them in drug stores, you didn't even need a prescription. Couldn't be that easy to overdose on accident (yes it is!).

With that line of thinking, and Kodi's adamant refusal to go to the infirmary, Oriel just rolled his eyes. "Fine fine….you don't have to go." He really should. "Just calm down, alright?" This was going to take some stamina. Oriel gave Kodi an extra few pats and comforting rubs on his back before pulling him off and forcing the boy back down on the bed. "Now just…lay down. I'm going to make you some soup, alright? Just stay there and…don't move. Rest." Hopefully Kodi would listen to him, but honestly, Oriel wasn't expecting it.

[Deleted]

"I ain't.... I ain't crazy..." Kodi slurred, but his brow was furrowed, as if considering this fact. Was he crazy? No, couldn't be.... He'd know if he was! "Don't say that," he whined. And then he apparently forgot about the conversation because he started giggling over nothing.

Nope, nope... Nothing was wrong. He was just feeling weird because he was sick and he hadn't slept very well. Kodi knew he should feel tired, but he didn't - okay, well, maybe he did a bit, but he was fighting it now that Oriel was here, not wanting to miss a second of his hero being around. He'd be fiiiiine. Maybe he could even convince Oriel to stay the night! Like a sleepover! He'd never done one of those before... No, wait.... He had... Hadn't he? With someone... Kodi's memories were fuzzy.

Kodi's breathing evened out as Oriel assured him he didn't have to go (even if both of them didn't know that he really should). "I'm calm, I'm calm..." he mumbled, relaxing completely against his savior. He enjoyed the touches and caresses until Oriel began to pull him off. Kodi fought it, but he was weak, and it didn't take as much to get him off as it would have otherwise. He whined at first, but when Oriel said what he was doing, he relaxed again and smiled. "Soup! Okay!" He nodded eagerly. He watched Oriel grab the can and leave the room, humming.

It took all but ten seconds before Kodi was crawling to the edge of the bed, flopping onto the floor again, struggling to his feet, and staggering after Oriel. He got to his doorframe and fell heavily against it, giggling. "Done yeeet?" he crooned, taking a few more unsteady steps into the common area. "I need soup! And you!" He beamed at Oriel. "My handsome hero!" He promptly crashed into the counter, barely managing to keep himself upright, but he was still grinning.

[Deleted]

Kodi was doing a swell job of proving himself wrong, especially with all that incoherent giggling and slurring. It was like he was drunk but…shit, did idiots really get this dumb when they were drunk? Or was it because of the medicine? Now Oriel wished he knew more about the subject.

"Good," Oriel breathed as Kodi started to calm down. With nothing else really to do, Oriel gave him a few more comforting pets against his back. "'s gonna be alright, don't you worry." Fuck, even to a psycho like Kodi, Oriel was such a momma.

Oriel had hoped that Kodi could have managed to sit still like a good little boy while Oriel took the whole 3 minutes it took to make a bowl of canned soup…but that was clearly too much to ask. No sooner had Oriel reached the kitchenette, was Kodi stumbling out into the common room making a bigger fool of himself. Man, Kodi was going to kill himself if he ever found out how stupid he looked. So why was Oriel making any effort at all to try and save the tooth-boy's dignity. "Kodi! Either sit down or lay down. Or you ain't getting no soup or nothing!" Oriel pointed a spoon at him, staring down the sick boy.


Meanwhile, on the couch, Kodi's derpy looking roommate simply watched the amusing exchange while he munched his Nacho Cheese Bugles off his fingers.

[Deleted]

Yep, Kodi was actually a nicer person when he was drunk; it was ironic, and he knew it, but he couldn't really help it. It was no wonder, then, that he was acting this way under the effects of the medication.

But mmm... Oriel was being so nice and comforting! Kodi found himself extremely jealous of Ph... F.... Pheener? Fuck, he couldn't remember the stupid pixie's name. Whatever, the stupid boy that got this sort of affection all the time. "I want it t'be better now," he whined. Like Oriel could make it go any faster. "Maybe I should take some more medication..." He swiveled and stared at the bottles, but found he felt too lazy to even reach for one now.

Somehow he did manage to get out of the room, though, barely. He was resting heavily against the counter, panting, his skin beginning to look a little pale as he ignored a few beads of sweat forming along his hairline. "That ain't fair," he cried, cringing like a hurt puppy under Oriel's pointing spoon. "I just wanted t'watch you..." Moping, he turned away, only to catch sight of his roommate, whereupon he lit up a little bit and promptly stumbled his way over.

"Anthony! Anthonyyyyyyyyyyy... Tony... Eeeeee..." Kodi giggled and flopped down on the couch, half-laying on the guy and ignoring his snack. "Isn't my prince super sweet an' handsome?" he slurred, motioning to where Oriel was working. "He's makin' me soup. I think I... I owe him a blowjob later or somethin'." Yep, seemed like a fair exchange.

[Deleted]

"Just wanting it ain't gonna make it happen." A hard truth and it actually made him sick to say it. He knew better than anybody that wanting something bad enough didn't simply make it happen instantly. Hard work, time, patience were what yielded results. But still, it was that last thing that Oriel was quite familiar with. Or rather, familiar with not having enough of. "No…You don't need anymore medicine. Probably just make yourself more sick."

When Kodi came stumbling out into the common room, Oriel was too focused on making the soup to notice the clamminess of Kodi's skin or paleness in his face. Instead, he basically just ignored the sick boy, hoping he would keep himself occupied with the sudden should and half-lunge towards his idly watching roommate.


Anthony, on the other hand, ate one of his Bugle-fingers. "So…what's wrong with Hannibal Lecter here?" he asked with a laugh, peering over at Oriel.

"Nothing, psycho behavior's normal for a psycho," Oriel said, not bothering to look back. "Watch him for a sec, will you? Don't let him bite you, though. Doggie might have rabies."

Anthony just looked back at Kodi and ate another finger. "Dually noted." In a moment of curiosity, he pointed one of his fingers at Kodi. "Who's a good puppy?"

[Deleted]

Medicine.... Made people more sick? Well that was just bullshit, medicine was supposed to make you better. For someone so book-smart, Kodi was incredibly dumb about modern medicine. "'M fiiiiiiine," he assured Oriel, even if he felt anything but. At least everything seemed funny and not all that worrisome.

Like Anthony. His haaaandsome roommate Anthony. Huh, Kodi didn't remember thinking he was handsome before, that was weird. He looked between the two boys at their interaction, grinning like a moron, completely fine with what they were saying about him. "Psycho!" he crooned, rolling onto his back across Anthony's lap. At the finger pointing, he snapped up, trying to latch onto the protruding object, before flopping back and giggling again. "I am!" he yipped.

Ugh... He was so going to kill himself later.

But... All of a sudden, Kodi's stomach felt very, very nauseous, and he groaned, crumpling and curling in on himself. "Unngg... I need... I need t'go..." He stumbled off of his roommate and somehow managed to get to the bathroom just in time for him to vomit up what seemed like everything in his stomach into the toilet. Kodi... Was beginning to realize that something maybe wasn't quite right. He staggered back against the sink and fell onto the floor, groaning as he landed heavily. His skin had taken on a very clammy appearance, and he was shivering even though it was plenty warm.

"Don't feel good..." he mumbled, whether someone had come to his aid or not. He stayed there on the floor, unable to muster the energy to move.

[Deleted]

Oriel just rolled his eyes, listening to the exchange between Kodi and his roommate behind him. That guy must have nerves of steel or be just plain stupid to be treating Kodi like a puppy. He poured the soup into a bowl and threw it in the microwave. Oriel wasn't going to waste time using the stove. Not for something like Kodi. He was lucky Oriel was there at all….Okay, that wasn't entirely true, Oriel was a little worried about the dentokinetic.

Anthony teased Kodi with his Bugle-finger, lifting it up as Kodi snapped at it, and just letting the sick boy roll around like a kid in his lap. He had a series of smiles come and fade away as he watched Kodi act like a doofus. That was until Kodi announced his need to leave, his face suddenly looking much worse than he had a moment ago. Not just pale, but slightly green too.

Oriel heard the sound of bare feet scampering across the floor at a speed of urgency, which clearly got his attention. He followed immediately after the sick boy, arriving behind him just in time to see Kodi with his head over the toilet. When the boy stumbled back, Oriel did his best to break his fall. "Shiiiit, that's what you get for chugging all that medicine."

"How much did he take?" Anthony's voice came from the doorway. He was still eating his fingers, the bag of Bugles in his free hand.

Oriel looked up at him with a hard face as he thought. "I don't know….at least two bottles?"

Anthony's eyes went wide and a couple of chips fell to the floor. "Well, damn! You gotta take him to the infirmary! Or, no, just call 911. No, poison control? And water! Definitely water!" The older boy was clearly going into a panic, the only one realizing just how serious the situation was, and he darted back to the kitchen to get water and maybe a phone.

Oriel, only know understanding the severity of the situation, turned down to Kodi. "You fucking idiot." Carefully, he hefted the Asian boy over his shoulder and carried him out to the couch. Anthony was already on the phone with....somebody. "Kodi...hey, can you hear me?" He snapped his finger over his face.

[Deleted]

Kodi barely realized Oriel's presence there, only that his landing didn't hurt quite as bad as he had imagined it would. Then again, his head felt kinda floaty, like he was a little disconnected from the rest of his body. He figured he should be freaking out, but he was just kind of... Numb. Woozy. "Whatha fuckiz wrong'id me," he slurred, blinking blearily up at Oriel. He reached towards the boy's face, but his arm was too weak and quickly fell back to the floor. "Feel weird..."

He just laid there like a corpse as the two boys interacted, too out of it to really understand why they suddenly seemed so worried and why Anthony suddenly zoomed off, looking freaked out. "Whas'iz problem," he mumbled. He closed his eyes as they suddenly felt very heavy, and he was barely conscious of Oriel picking him up off of the floor and taking him back to the couch.

Kodi grunted as he hit the couch, face twisted as Oriel snapped in his face. "'M not deaf, shid." His tongue felt dry, and too big. "Wha... Unggg." He cringed and curled in on himself again as pain blossomed in his stomach. "Shi... shit it hur's," he moaned, throwing out a blind hand to clutch onto Oriel's shirt in a death grip. "Why'sit hurt?" His eyes were damp, blinking up at his 'hero' like a scared child.
