[Yeah, having your throat burning and the taste of the stuff still in your mouth to go along with the smell is a hell of a lot less pleasant than the smell alone.

[A few more breaths, a moment for his head to stop spinning.] Don't need you to do everything for me.

[He's sick, not paralyzed. He can absolutely do this. With a little effort, he manages to push himself up into a sitting position. See? He's handling it.

[... Though she's probably going to have to keep holding the cup for him, because he gets the impression that if he doesn't keep using both arms to brace himself, he's going to fall back down.]

[plum_that_snaps]

[She sees him struggling and frowns. You don't always need to do everything on your own. That's why I'm here, Hitsugaya-kun.]

[But she holds the cup of cold water up for him to drink anyway.]

When you're sick, you really should let people baby you more. [Emphasis on the word 'baby'? Maybe.]

[icy_heavens]

[And he'll frown at her frown. It's what he does.] I'm not a baby.

[Nevertheless, he drinks as much as he can from the cup while she's holding it there for him. The chill of it instantly makes him feel so much better, and washes some of the taste of bile out of his mouth.]

[plum_that_snaps]

[She smiles, amusement in her eyes.] Of course you're not. [Her best bet to win the teasing game is not to argue; words are her weakness and his strength.]

[icy_heavens]

[Still all frowns here.] Quit that. You're starting to sound like these stupid nurses who pat me on the head and try to give me stuffed animals.

[Has he mentioned yet how much he hates being in the pediatric ward? Has he?]

[plum_that_snaps]

[Her smile softens at that and her eyes go back to normal.] Sorry, Hitsugaya-kun. I shouldn't tease you when you're not feeling well.

[icy_heavens]

[He lies back down, feeling a little better after the vomiting and the water. (And, though he doesn't know it, from having Hinamori understand and forgive him for what his powers did to Granny.)]

It's fine. [Sort of. It doesn't really bother him that much, because unlike the nurses, she's not doing it out of the sincere belief that he's a kid. Hence why she only gets told to stop, whereas the nurses get hands swatted away and stuffed toys thrown back in their faces.]

[plum_that_snaps]

[A hint of distance enters her gaze at that response. Always pushing away. "It's nothing." "It's fine." "It doesn't matter." "Who even wants you around here anyway?" It was just pure stubbornness, she supposed, that she ignored it and stayed by his side—for his own good, really, and because she liked being around him. Even if he didn't like her being there, she wanted to stay.]

It's not fine. Don't say things you don't mean.

[Kindly, even though she's being serious.]

[icy_heavens]

[Oh, he hasn't said he doesn't want her around since they were kids. He's grown out of that one. All of the "It's nothing" and "It's fine" are more efforts to alleviate her worries than anything else. That there could be a different interpretation of that isn't something that really occurs to him.]

Well, you're not as bad as them, at least. [It's in a bit of a lighter tone, mostly out of the fact that she seems to need it that way. And it's the truth.]
