Let's get a little day drunk

[moneymatters]

Scrooge crossed the grass with a rather decided march, though careful of the cargo he carried. Rather longer than he would've liked- even though it was only a few minutes of a walk at the most -he descended down the steps and to the cottage-looking door that'd been set in a hill, open to the sky. This was the ground-access passage to the Fraggle home beneath Duckburg, and it was on this door he pounded his spare fist twice. While he waited, what he held in his other hand giggled twice, and Scrooge rolled his eyes.

Wembley giggled, raising his hands for a moment, then lowering them when he realized he wasn't sure Gobo had much in the way of peripheral vision, the way he was wearing that blanket. So, instead, he spoke as gently as he could manage. "This is... Actually kind of nice, guys - I mean, you know, we don't really spend that much time together just us three."

[gobetween]

He'd thought about it a moment, how to eat the soup, and eventually settled for very gently, very slowly sipping it straight from the bowl, chin resting at the edge. Snouts really come in handy, you know?

At Wembley's remark he doesn't say anything, though he does make a thumbs-up of approval.

[forachange]

Wembley smiled and nodded. "Yeah, exactly. I mean, sure, it might be better if Gobo wasn't sick and stuff. But then it also might not even be happening, so..." He trailed off with a shrug.

[gobetween]

Another gesture, this one a so-so motion.

[scaredsilly]

"I don't know Wembley, I think it would happen anyway. You two are always together, it's mostly me that never leaves home."

Not that he sounded at all depressed about that. It was just the way things were.

"I'd much rather be here cooking and cleaning, so you all have warm meals and warm clothes to come back to after a day out, euch, adventuring."

[forachange]

"I guess it's just a little different, usually. Most of the time, the girls or Louie or someone else is around, too - and I love all of them! But not the way I love you two. Maybe we can pick some times for us three to do things together. I don't know, it's probably a silly idea..."

[gobetween]

"Dating." He lifted his head enough that he could see, using the back of his hand to brush the blanket back to help with that. "You're describing dating."

[forachange]

"Oh yeah, huh?" Wembley giggled. "Well, we should do that, then, that way! We can do all sorts of things together, us three."

[gobetween]

"I would definitely like that." A smile, then a bit of a wince before he let the blanket drop, returning to the soup.

"...Starting tomorrow."

[forachange]

Wembley's giggle became more of a snicker, then, and he nodded. "Yeah, starting tomorrow sounds good."

[scaredsilly]

"Tomorrow then." Done with his dishes, he picked them up and walked into the kitchen, mindful of Gobo's headache as he set them down to be washed.

"In the meantime, we'll try to keep it down for you, Gobo. And you know, a dark room will help wonders. Standard migraine treatment honestly, plus a little extra food and water, when you can stomach it, to keep your hydration and nutrition levels up."

[forachange]

"Well, if a dark room will help, it's a good thing we're underground," Wembley observed, the last of his laughter fading as he quickly got to his feet and started digging into a cupboard, emerging after a few moments with a bell. He moved carefully so as not to ring it himself, and handed it to Gobo. "Here. If you need us."

[gobetween]

He took the bell, looked at it for a moment, then looked back.

"Wembley. You were careful with this just now why?"

[forachange]

“Well, gee, Gobo, so I didn’t make your headache worse, of course. Wh- Oh. Oh, right.” A sheepish smile as he gingerly took the bell back. “Well, uh... You just get our attention somehow, if you need us.”

[gobetween]

Despite everything he had to smile some, up at him.

"It's a nice thought, Wembley." He rested his arms crossways on top of the table, folding the blanket in with him. "But I'll figure out some way to get your guys's attention without it."

[forachange]

“Yeah. Uh...” Wembley glanced over at Boober uncertainly, questioningly. “...Or you could stay out here with us? Maybe?”

[gobetween]

He thought about that a moment, then smiled and nodded. Carefully.

"Yeah. That sounds nicer than sitting in my room by myself. Even if it is a bit noisier."

[forachange]

"Well, good, then. I'm glad," Wembley said softly. "And I mean, this way, we'll both be right here if there's anything you need. You won't have to wait."

[gobetween]

"Yeah, that's true." He glanced down at the bowl near him, then geeently pushed it away and shifted to lay his head down on his arms.

"I may have to wait on finishing this, though. I'm afraid I might see it again too soon if I try to eat anymore..."

2/2

[scaredsilly]

"That's alright, Gobo." Unfazed by the talk, he picked up the bowl and headed toward the kitchen with it. "I'll store the rest of it away for now, and you can try to eat more later. In the meantime I'll get you something for your stomach."

Pausing, he glanced back. "Have you taken the headache medicine I left?" At a grunt, he nodded. "Good. I'll be back in a jiff."

[forachange]

Wembley, on the other hand, scrunched up his snout at the concern, though the moment passed quickly enough. He just had the best friends, and boyfriends, anyone could ever ask for.

He rested his own head on the table, as well. "Gobo? You wanna go somewhere that's more comfy?"

[gobetween]

Wembley's not going to get much of a response. Like the reply to Boober, this was just another grunt from somewhere within the blankets.

[forachange]

"I think that means you want to wait. I'm not sure, though," Wembley murmured, before giggling to himself in a self-aware sort of way. "Sorry. Wembling again."

He paused for a moment, then folded the blanket a bit, just so the tip of Gobo's snout was "freed", then said - in all earnestness - "It's important that you can breath."

[gobetween]

He does take in a deeper breath when the blanket is moved, and lets it out as a sigh. Shifting enough to pull out a hand, he gave Wembley another thumbs up, then folded that hand back into the blankets.

[forachange]

Wembley smiled, raising his head enough to shift it a bit side-to-side with pride. He was doing a good job helping out, and it felt really great.
