badfic_manor | Edogawa Conan - Case 037 [In Person

[waking up to a burning- itching sensation on his stomach was not really how Conan wanted to start his day- he scratches angrily at the itchy patch of skin and rolls over to check the clock- 4:56 -yeah he'll be rolling over to get back to bed. It's far too early.]

[...]

[But the itching it back and this time on his arm- did he get attacked by mosquitoes or something in his sleep? Conan just angrily rolls over and now it's on his back and neck- and back at the stomach. What is the deal!?]

[More then a little annoyed he rolls out of bed and clicks his watch on to get a look at his arms. Little dots are all over his right arm- and left- and they're on his stomach. What the Hell? He thought the Author's plots started on Mondays not Saturday. He scratches some at his neck and goes to click the light on to get a better look at his condition. Red dots. Red dots that are pretty much all over him.]

AAAAAAH!

[His very elegant expression can be heard probably all down the hall]

((Conan gets to start his new year off with chicken pox! :D feel free to hear his scream/ be worried/ make fun of him))

[Ran scans the empty sheets quickly, frowning.] They look clean, so it's not bed-mites ...

[Ducking down, she puts her hand on Conan's forehead.] How do you feel, Conan-kun?

I feel okay... just itchy...

Hmm ...

[Ran puts her own hand to her forehead but it's hard to tell if Conan is warm or not. Well, there's one way to be sure.]

Hold still Conan-kun.

A-ah... I-I'm fine-it'll probably go away if we leave it alone.

[She's not thinkingof what he thinks she' going to do is she?]

Don't be silly. This will only take a moment.

[And before Conan can protest, Ran is brushing her fringe out of the way and holding his hair out of the way so that she can press her forehead to his.]

[And his face is suddenly red but he's not trying to escape.]

[Ran studies Conan intently. That's definitely a fever ... She nods, letting his hair fall back into place as she stands.]

You've got a fever and you're flushed -- ne, Conan-kun. When your parents took you for your shots, do you remember if they gave you the extra ones?

Eh? I think they did.[after all he did get his shots as a child... the first time.]

We're going to need to get a doctor to look at you. It's either chicken-pox or measles.

But-[it can't be chicken pox... could it? He shouldn't be able to get it again... measles was definitely possible, he supposed.]

Don't look so worried, Conan-kun! Hop back into bed and rest. I'll bring you breakfast.

Ne, do you know any doctors here?

Umm... there's black Jack-san...

[He is already climbing back in to bed.]

Thank you Ran-neechan.

Black Jack-san? [... Ran's not even going to ask.] I'll look for him.

Ne, both chicken-pox and measles are contagious, so when you next see Haibara-chan, let her know that she's welcome to stay with me while you recover. And we'd better warn your friends so that they know not to come and play.

[Oh right... Haibara...]

Ill be sure to tell her..[he's crawling back under his blankets. Must. Not. Scratch.]

Good. [Such a sweet little kid -- when you're not asking questions. Ran pats Conan on the head as she turns to leave.] After I make breakfast, we'll give you a bath. That should help you feel better.

Mmm! [A bath will feel great on all these damn blisters]

See you soon.

[And it's not long before Ran is back -- breakfast today is a light omelette stuffed with sauteed button mushrooms and bacon, with a glass of orange juice and some toast. There's a tin of baking soda also on the tray. Ran balances the tray carefully as she opens the door.]

Conan-kun? Ready for breakfast?

[Conan has not had much luck with the sleeping thing- though he did try to get back to sleep. This constant itching was going to drive him insane. It was just so tempting to scratch but that would only create scars and make things worse. He didn't need new scars.]

[He sits up and smiles brightly at her.]

Thank you, Ran-neechan!
