( open ) bad news like a suckerpunch

[apolly]

A. JUSTICE LAW OFFICES

Maybe you dropped by because you know of the lawyer in charge, you have a question about school, you're lost and looking for directions, the possibilities are endless.

It's early morning and no one seems to be in the front lobby at the moment, even if the door's unlocked. But a door off to the left is open, someone coughing their lungs out, but the sound is stopped short whenever the front door bell goes off.

Apollo is sick with a cold. Apparently sick enough for a futon to be laid out on his office floor (thanks to employees), so Apollo peaks around his office's entrance to see who it is. ...From the floor. This isn't an exactly normal picture.

"Can I help you?" He sounds like a frog.

B. GROCERY SHOPPING

Evening time, Apollo only has rare instances where he can actually show up at a store and get some much needed stocking done.

He's got the goods: food, hygeine, some house supplies and of course coffee. Tons of it, because he's currently buying about four tubs of it and dropping it into his cart.

C. MISC go wild. brackets are a-ok.

There Apollo lays, bundled under a blanket, and scowling at the ceiling. At least agreeing to pay Stiles a little more for nursing was paying off, and he wasn't being a total brat about it.

Who said money didn't buy happiness?

"Slowly, but surely. You're not in my will by the way." Apollo's sarcasm meter is off by this point. "... Did you buy that mask?" Apollo feels like he shouldn't be offended, but he is just a bit. Not much can be helped.

"You bought the specific soup I asked for?"

Stiles reminds himself to take a picture of Apollo when the man is unconscious. This is too great an image to not upload to Instagram. The people need to see it. For now, however, he puts aside his nefarious schemes and roots around in the bag.

"As long as Sasuke doesn't inherit the business and management, I really don't care. Also, yes and yes to both questions."

The soap is offered to Apollo, and then Stiles sets down a few other items near the futon: cough medicine, painkillers, a box of tissues, throat lozenges...a roll of smarties candy...

[apolly]

Apollo tries to imagine Sasuke in the legal field but stops immediately.

He makes a grab for the cough medicine as soon as it hits the floor and pops it open. He kind of feels bad to pile more work onto Stiles and Sasuke on top of it, but at the same time, they probably need more work to keep from fighting with each other.

"Oh, uh. Lunch is on me later. As a thanks for all this." Not like anyone would complain. ... And why the candy.

"Smarties?"

Even though his boss is sick, Stiles isn't about to turn down free food. Brightening, he moves forward and forcefully tucks Apollo in. There, there. See what a great employee he is? Maybe he deserves a raise too.

"Oh! No. Those are for me."

And Stiles quickly snatches them back up. After a moment, he pauses.

"...Well, as long as you don't tell Sasuke...I can share with you."
