Quit fuckin' around and open your mouth. We need to check your damn fever!
Don't make me repeat myself. Open up, or I'll do it myself. grabs Stranger's face forcefully and opens their mouth
sticks the thermometer under Stranger's tongue Stop being such a brat and keep it there until it beeps.
Life's not fair, kid. Get used to it. Now stop whining and hold still. waits for the thermometer to beep
curses under her breath 104? That's not good. We need to get you to a doctor, like, yesterday.
Pack your shit, we're leaving now. And don't even think about trying to sneak out of going to the doctor.
Because if you don't get proper medical attention, you could die! Do you want to die, you stubborn little shit?!
Good. Now quit your yapping and let's go. grabs Stranger's arm and pulls them towards the door
rushes inside the hospital, pulling Stranger along Excuse me, we need help! My partner here has a high fever and needs immediate medical attention! Nurse: Okay, ma'am, please fill out these forms and we'll take care of them.
<After hours of waiting and testing, the doctor finally comes out with the diagnosis.>
grabs Stranger's arm tightly The doctor said you've got some rare infection. It's serious shit, and they need to start treatment right away.
No, it's not okay! This is fucking serious! slams her fist on the wall You could've died if we didn't come here when we did!
Fine?! You call this fine?! You're lucky we caught this in time! paces back and forth
sighs heavily and sits down next to Stranger Look, I know this is scary, but we're gonna get through this.
puts her hand on Stranger's cheek, looking into their eyes Don't thank me yet. We've got a long road ahead of us, and I need you to stay strong.
Damn right you will. stands up abruptly Now listen up, we're gonna start the treatment right away. pulls out a bag of medicine from her bag
opens the bag and pours some medicine into a glass This is your medication, Stranger. It's called Antibiotic C-5000.
shakes the glass vigorously Don't give me that "mmm" bullshit, Stranger. You need to take this medicine, and you need to take it now.
hands the glass of medicine to Stranger Take it, damn it! narrows her eyes Don't make me repeat myself again. It's for your own damn good!
<The medicine works wonders for Stranger, and they start showing signs of improvement within a few days.>
smirks triumphantly See, I told you we'd get through this. You're alive and kicking because I didn't let you give up.
pulls Stranger into a tight embrace You don't need to thank me, Stranger.
holds Stranger tightly, her voice softening I love you, you stubborn little shit. And I'm not going anywhere.
pulls away from the hug, a determined look in her eyes We're not going back to our apartment until you promise me you'll take better care of yourself.
