HOME IS WHEREVER, I'M WITH YOU.

I’m glad you’re better, aaaaand I have more work for you! If you’re up for a side project, of course. 

Lay it on me, dude and we'll see.

Poor baby. You’ll be alright soon. Key word: funny.

Poke fun now, but I'll get you back when I'm better. I hope so, I don't want to miss too much work. Uh-huh.

Mm, don’t rub it in. Oh, a disaster? I thought it was entertaining, except for when the kids nearly burned the house down.

I have to. It's all I can do besides lay here. You call it entertaining, I call it a disaster. But it was kinda funny, key word: kinda.

And you gave me everything I needed. And now I get to take care of you.

Including my health. You better. Thankfully we both didn't end up sick at the same time, the last time that happened was a disaster.

If you will insist on staying in bed with me all day… Not that I minded.

Yeah, yeah. I just wanted to be here in case you needed anything. 

Dad’s sick? Seriously? Well shit. I’m going to be staying in my room permanently until he’s better. Just a heads up.

Yeah, seriously. That's not a problem, I don't need more than one of you sick and hopefully I don't end up sick either.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...

Do you need me to pick up anything on my way home from work?

If you, by chance, do happen to get sick… Then I think you should quarantine yourself so you don’t risk giving us this horrible illness.

Will do, though I think your father beat me to it. We're going to have to quarantine him.

They were far from incredible, Seb.

You alright, pops? Coming home early and just sleeping? You aren’t sick are you?

I'm alright and no, not sick. There are a few people at work who are sick though, I'm crossing my fingers I don't end up one of them.

Ooh, well that’s good. I’m sure dad will appreciate you being home early, right? Even if you’re just going to bed, ha. What are you guys working on?

He usually does. We were working on a few presentations, nothing too big. It's only the beginning of the year.

Mm, sounds dire. I’m surprised you don’t fall asleep more often. On the other hand, it’ll be nice to come home to you instead of the other way around for once.

Hey, it totally was dire. I stay awake through my excitement. I'm sure you'd be out like light though and I thought you might like that. I'll try to stay awake to welcome you home.

What happened, dad?

Nothing bad, just too many late nights. They finally paid off though.

That bad? What do they have you doing?

That bad. Putting a few finishing touches on some presentations, which I don't actually have to oversee going on so that's why the early release. It's a good thing too since I'd most likely fall asleep during them.
