Prompt: Sickness

Title: Just a Cold

Word Count: 177

Notes: Just a little bit of silliness that popped into my head while looking at some past challenges. No spoilers, and takes place sometime way after the end of KH2.

 

It was just a cold, he had sniffed, then sneezed, then sniffed again. The king looked unimpressed.

 

“You remember last time it was just a cold?” Mickey’s tail thrashed just a little.

 

“But that was on the Twilight Path, and it was wet and cold all the time.” Riku sneezed into his sleeve. “Your library is a little drafty, but I’m wearing a sweater.”

 

“Go to bed.” Mickey said uncompromisingly.

 

“But…” Riku frowned; he was comfortable on the sofa, and he was just getting to the good part in the book he was reading.

 

“You were delirious with fever for three days, and six weeks later you were still coughing.” Mickey was not amused.

 

“But…” Riku protested.

 

“Go to bed. Take the book with you if you want, but go to bed.” Mickey insisted.

 

Riku sighed and pushed himself off the sofa, sneezing as he did. After all, Mickey was king, and it was his castle, and he was right about the last time Riku had gotten sick.

 

But who knew a mouse could be so pushy?

X3 Riku with a cold is adorable. ♥

Thank you! What's really funny is that I keep all my drabbles in the same document, and this one happened to end up underneath a drabble where Riku claimed to never get sick. Silly boy. :)

This is so cute! No one can resist Mickey =D He is, as you rightly pointed out, the king.

Thank you! I love your avatar, by the way. That's one of my favorite movies.

He's such a stubborn little brat. But that's one of the reasons we love him. ^-^

Mickey or Riku? :)~ It's a trait I love in both of them. Thanks for the comment!

[fox_the_kitsune]

I was thinking of Riku when I commented, but yeah, I guess they're both kind of stubborn.

I think Mickey would have to be,to be able to keep Riku in one piece for so long. He'd have to be at least as stubborn as Riku, and like you said, Riku is a stubborn little brat.

This is so cute! Mickey putting his foot down like that is just sweet. XD

Thank you! Somehow Mickey manages to be sweet and authoritative at the same time. It's a good skill. I wish I had it.
