Red stepped out of the bathroom, did she even bring her purse with her?? She sighed, it shouldn't really matter this much anyway should it? He wouldn't remember anyway....
She was about to step into the kitchen, hopefully find something that wasn't a Hungry Man meal and wasn't something she used in her soup- she'd found chicken nuggets and in a moment if weakness even made her own noodles. He probably still had a few egs she could fry up... No, first she'd check in and see how he was doing... She wasn't that hungry anyway- or at least it'd only take a moment.
She came through the living room and found Granny feeding Victor broth, NOT ramming it down his throat thank the gods...
"Hey...." She whispered and knelt down beside him. He was shivering so much... Red put a gentle hand on his cheek and smiled weakly,"Nice to see you awake again"

His eyes were only slightly open, but he grinned at her. Or what he hoped was a grin.
"You look... nice." He breathed. And he could feel that she felt better. If only he felt same.

She blushed a little, hearing him say that... Especially when she knew he felt awful, It only made Red love him that much more. She stroked his cheek and laid her head on his chest a moment. Just wanting to be close to him...
That wasn't really helping was it? She lifted her head and gave him a light kiss,"As soon as you feel better... We'll go walk downtown together, just you and me" she took his clammy hand in hers and kissed his fingers," Sound good?"
She wasn't looking for any sort of response, she just hoped maybe her words could offer some sort of comfort

Whale clutched her hand back and gave a weak smile.
This fever was making every moment so drawn out, tortuously so... but having THIS particular moment drawn out didn't seem so awful, gazing up at Ruby's face...

"So," Granny said, ruining the tender moment. "...It's obvious how my granddaughter feels about you, sonny... enough to give up the shot of finding a decent mate to procreate with. What are YOUR intentions, I wonder?"
She got a nervous little cough from the patient at that. Granny leaned in very close.
"Break her heart, and I'll break your legs..." she threatened lightly.

"Granny, please..." Red looked at her, this really wasn't a discussion Victor should have with under the fever, maybe it was just her being over-protective but being threatened when your sick was an awesome way to really heighten stress levels. Plus.... Well, there was a lot of things for she and him in the future... She wasn't sure about. It'd be better to talk about these things later when they both had their heads

"Hey... he's part of the family now, more or less." Granny huffed, putting her hands up in surrender. "Just giving him the treatment... he better grow a tougher skin instead of hiding behind your skirts all the time..." The old woman stood up with a soft grunt, as her joints rebelled against the action. "Well, it seems like you have everything under control, Red, so I'll be on my way now. Just make sure to give him the soup and herbs while he's awake, and if he vomits, give him this..." Granny held up a container, taking the lid off. The mixture smelled as hideous as it looked.

"Dear... Darwin... what IS that?" Whale groaned, notrils flaring from the scent that Ruby was picking up. He recoiled from the container in fear.

"Something to weigh down your stomach, so nothing comes up." Granny said, giving a toothy smile. "Though it's a bit of a bitch to pass THROUGH the system..."
She could see his eyes somewhat widen, she gavea chuckle. "I swear I'm not doing this JUST to give you a hard time, sonny." She closed the lid and handed it to Ruby. "Just give me a call if you have any questions." She gave Red a little hug and turned to leave.

Red got up and hugged her grandmother be fore she could leave," Thanks again," Not just for helping her take care of Victor, but in her own way Granny had sort of welcomed him into their little family," If I need help I'll definitely ask"
They exchanged one last tender moment, and then Victor and Red were left to themselves again.
She still had the container in her hands, it smelled pretty god awful and she hoped she wouldn't have to feed it to Victor. She brought it into the kitchen before returning to Victor...
She slid onto the couch edge beside him," I'm sorry if she scared you.... Granny can be rough around the edges, but if it makes you feel any better, she likes you better then any of the other guys I've been with"

"I'd hate see how she treated people she DISLIKED." Whale huffed. He was glad they were alone. He looked up at her. "I hope she knows that I would never intentionally hurt you. I would rather die." Seemed a little drastic, such a profession of the heart, but he put it out there, to see what Ruby what do with it...

Ruby blushed, hearing him say something like that... And hearing the sincerity in those words, she was moved.
She leaned down and kissed her forehead and leaned her forehead against his a moment," Don't say that.... I can't even think about loosing you, no matter the circumstance" she kept her voice quiet and soft, stroking the side of his face delicately with her fingertips,"But I feel the same way about you Victor. I would never try to hurt you"

Victor sighed at her words. It was the most he could convey in way of being moved, aside from kissing her... but given the circumstances, that probably wouldn't be as thrilling for either one of them at this moment. Instead, Ruby contented herself by laying beside him, mindful of his bad arm, but nestled in close to him.
He didn't care if he felt like he was a million degrees, not if she didn't... he didn't want to swap this moment for anything in the world...

She pulled her arm around his chest, from what she cold tell he was content with having her there, she didn't really want to move either. Her eyes drooped a bit as she lay there with him," I love you, Victor" She whispered before drifting to sleep in his arms
