Chapter Text
The light filtered through the window, casting a soft, golden glow onto the room, illuminating the tools and unfinished projects scattered around. The golden glow seeps onto the bed in the room, shining on Redson's face.
The fire user scowls and slowly opens his eyes, blinking the sleep out of them. Dammit, he forgot to keep his curtains closed and now he's awake- redson glances at his clock by his bedside table. The time reads 6:24 AM. Earlier than when he normally wakes up.
He props himself up on one arm, getting up to close the curtain before a sharp pain spreads through his abdomen. Redson lets out a hiss of pain and falls back on the bed, clutching his stomach.
He thought the new medication was supposed to be working. Usually, the pain happens later in the day, but this early in the morning? If it happens three times in a row, he's gonna have to call it and take some pills if he can find the right container in the pill cabinet. In his haste to hide all the meds from Mei and MK when they came over, he completely forgot to organize them again. Why do the migraines hit when he has important things to do?!
He sits up, ignoring the pain in his stomach, and stands up, stumbling a bit and closing the curtains. On his way back to his bed, he picks up the heating pad by his bedside and turns it on. He sits on his bed, wrapping his arms around his stomach and watching the clock.
Yep, 3 times, time to wipe out the pain meds. Redson stands up and walks- EH HEM- stumbles and goes into his private bathroom. He walks- WADDLES over to the drawer with the medication, leaning over like a grandparent with a bad back. Rummaging through the different pill bottles.
"Dammit, I swear it was just here-". Redson mutters under his breath. He finally finds the right bottle. Standing up mostly straight, he opens the lid as it pops off with a pop. He grabs the water and screws off the lid. he takes a sip of water and pops the pill in his mouth, and swallows. He puts the lid back on the pill bottle and screws on the lid to the water bottle and walks back to his room.
He leaves the bathroom door open in case he needs to run to the bathroom at any point. He sits down on his bed and leans back on his pillows, and moves his heating pad on his stomach.
His phone started ringing by his bedside table as the screen glows. He wouldn't have this phone but Mei insisted he has it. Damn mortals and using simple technology to communicate with eachother.
Redson picks up the phone, gritting his teeth as his stomach hurts from the movement. He unlocks his phone and picks up the call from Mei.
"REDBOYYYYY WASUP! How you been? Good? Good! Your coming to sleepover right!? Dont cancel on us again! If ya do im gonna drive over there with mk and drag you to the sleepover myself!"
"Its REDSON dragonpony girl! And yes im coming, no need for you peasants to come over here amd disturb my parents. You both are lucky my aunt understands that I need to go over there while she visits-"
"YOU HAVE A AUNT!? AND YOU NEVER TOLD US REDBOY?"
Redson pinchs the bridge of his nose not understanding how he was friends with such idiotic people. "WHA- YES? HOW DO YOU BOTH NOT FUCKING KNOW!? honestly did you both EVEN STUDY!? She is sworn sister's with my mother and macaque! And sadly the adopted sister of the Monkey King. She lives in the celestial realm!? She came down here to visit my Mother and Father. And as of unfortunate events the time you and the noddle boy planned the sleepover and her coming down her aline. Shes covering for me while I go hangout with you both so I dont get in trouble with my parents!" He feels a wave of pain wash over him, but ignores it so that he can carry on with the conversation.
"Redboy I need to meet your aunt if shes chill like that! You gotta introduce me and MK sometime! WAIT- WHAT DO YOU MEAN SISTER TO MONKEY KING!? HAVE YOU AND MK BEEN HOLDING OUT ON ME THIS IMPORTANT INFO!?"
"I will have none of that! I dont need you both to infect my aunt with you crazy ideas! And no I did not withhold any information from you I assumed you already knew this, even with that pea sized brain of yours. Now back to the topic at hand, yes I am going over to the sleepover Dragongirl. I promise, I know what im doing. Now can you stop annoying me!?" He can already feel a headache coming on.
"awwww okay but I am gonna wessle my way into meeting your aunt! And you better be there Redboy im holding you to that promise! Bye Redson!"
"good-bye dragongirl see you later tonight unfortunately." He hangs up the call and sets his phone down somewhere on his bed. This gonna be a shit show he just knows it.
What a great fucking day to start a flare up. Thanks Sun Wukong for fucking up the removal or the Samadi Fire from my body and giving me this DAMN WEAKNESS- YOU WILL NOT TAKE ME FROM THIS MORTAL SHILE DEATH.
Well now he's gotta pack the pain meds in his bag for the sleepover in case it gets worse. He reluctantly gets out of bed to pack what he needs in a safe spot in his overnight bag in case MK and Mei start snooping.
