This is a generic Jakepost to reply to. Because the meme post was all Jake and has some inconceivable amount of comments now so it doesn't like to load. Have at, my lovelies.

"Good. Take it easy for today and you should be right as rain. I know you weren't exactly expecting to stay the weekend, so if you need anything or to get home I can take you tomorrow."

Jake was sort of wilting into his coffee. Oh, it was warm. He liked warm.

Jade smiled, shaking her head.

"It's no trouble at all. If you're here to watch him I can finish up what I'm working on in the lab in time to get you to work and keep an eye on him while you're gone. What are your usual hours?"

Jake hunkered back against Dirk, still with his coffee, and felt marginally less awful as the warmth and caffeine spread through his system. His shaking would be worse by the time he was done with the mug, for caffeine versus sustenance, but he'd be warmer and sated.

"Consider your time with Jake payment," Jade corrected, reaching out and patting Dirk gently on the head. She didn't want to mess up his 'do. Standing, then, she moved away from the bed and watched them both for a moment. "I'll be downstairs if either of you need anything."

"Sorry, gram," Jake rasped idly, and Jade just tsked again.

"Don't be sorry, just rest and feel better. Come get some soup when you're up for it."

[shitknickers]

Jake grumbled again, and Jade waved off Dirk's thanks with a smile before she left the room again. The warmth of the coffee was lifting Jake's mood a little but he was still quiet and listless.

[shitknickers]

"Guess so," Jake offered thinly, pushing his mug onto the bedside table across Dirk and leaning into him. "Sorry."

[shitknickers]

"You worried me, in class," he breathed. "I haven't been that scared in years." He wasn't really meaning to talk, words were just sort of happening.

[shitknickers]

"Mmngh. I know you didn't," he pressed his face into Dirk's hand. Despite the fact that he was cold, his face felt hot and Dirk's hand was pleasantly cool. "'n I'm sorry I turned around and caught your sick. I'm an awful patient."

[shitknickers]

"I'm comfy," he whined, leaning into Dirk's forehead. Gosh, that was nice.

[shitknickers]

He huffed softly, but pecked him back.

"Shouldn't," he said. "'s probably how we transferred the sick between us anyway. Don't wanna get you a repeat." But God he wasn't really fighting back. Dirk was just so warm, and pleasant, and inviting.

[shitknickers]

"Oh," Jake offered smartly, color rising to his blanched cheeks.

[shitknickers]

"I'm just tired," he offered mutedly. He didn't actually feel sick to his stomach, for once.

[shitknickers]

"Mmh," Jake offered, turning sideways and burying his face in Dirk's arm. "I didn't want to inconvenience anybody." He wasn't really entirely consciously nattering.
