I wasn't irritated in the least when Ace and Maitea came in the door. I couldn't sleep or relax anyways, and they had to have had something to say. Ace appeared in mild pain, and Maitea was looking slightly irritated. In other words, no different than usual, unfortunately. I felt a little dizzy as I sat upright on my bed.
"What's up?" I said casually.
"We need some stuff from a pharmacy, we need some help holding it up", Maitea said bluntly.
"Why a pharmacy?"
"Ace-"
"-say no more", I interrupted. I couldn't really get out of this at all. What else was I going to say? Sorry you're fiance is in pain and risk of death, but I don't feel like it? I didn't think I was capable of being that big an asshole to say no.
"Just us?", I asked.
"We're asking Eve after you"
I pretended to think for a moment, and reached across the bed to a nightable drawer. I opened it up, pulled out a little P99 pistol, a few magazines, and stood up.
"Let's go ask", I said. I followed the stressed couple out of my room. She seemed a little irritated about my luck a few minutes ago, but she didn't hate me. And again, who'd be enough of an asshole to refuse getting medicine for a dying partner?
