[Someone would have completely refused a vaccination if it wasn't for his best friend insisting he get one (which he isn't too happy about, to be honest). Fortunately, this means he's not getting Red Asian Flu. Unfortunately he got the other vaccine, which means he's still sick

[lafillebleue]

It was not!

[Aoko, meanwhile, is perfectly fine, having gotten the true vaccine. And she's busy in the kitchen.]

You'd better be lying down, Kaito!

[kaitopants]

[Nope. He's sitting up straight, phone propped onto his shoulder so he can talk to the people on the other line]

I got sick because of the stupid vaccine, Ahoko!

[lafillebleue]

Well, I didn't, so how do you explai--

[She peeks into the other room, brandishing a stalk of celery.]

You can lie down and talk!

[kaitopants]

[... well this is a predicament. Should he snark back at her and risk death by vegetable or not?

He decides that in his ill state it would be better not to say anything]

Yes mother. [though there is some sarcasm there, he leans back and curls up on the couch, pulling the blanket over his head as he mumbles into the phone]

[badend_replay]

mii. Is Big Brother Kaito okay? Do you need anything, sir?

[ Rika also got the other vaccine. Like Kaito, she's pretending to be okay; poker faces are her specialty, after all. ]

[kaitopants]

[D'aaaw, little sister. He grins sheepishly at her.]

Aoko's making some soup. [He jerks his head toward the kitchen to emphasize his point]

[badend_replay]

nyao~. I see...
mii. So Kaito will be okay?

[kaitopants]

[A nod]

Sure! It's just... what, the flu? I'll be over it in a few days. [a pause] Are you alright, Rika-chan?

[Here comes Alfred, looking straight at Kaito. Instead of the usual hamburgers he's eating an obnoxious amount of pickles out of a jar. He sounds rather "nnngggg."]

Stupid is an understatement.

[kaitopants]

[... Kaito stares for a good long moment, before adding his sarcastic and blunt two cents to the situation]

Your mustache looks ridiculous.

[fastfoodhero]

[Alfred is not in the least happy with this situation. Nope. He's mentally shaking his fist at the powers that be of Mayfield.]

It's not as though I wanted one in the first place!

[kaitopants]

What gave you a mustache? [It couldn't have been the vacci-- okay, it could have been.

Though regardless, Kaito doesn't have one. He just feels like crap]

[bustydefense]

Kaito? Is there someone at home to take care of you?

[kaitopants]

[cough] Aoko's making me soup.

[bustydefense]

Okay. Let me know if you need anything, okay?

[kaitopants]

I will. Thanks, Mia-san.
