III. (open-ish) i said i've been through a lot of noise

featuring: hotdog & his (close) cr
what's happening? frank is suffering from vaccine side-effects and has been ordered to go to the clinic to take care of it; meanttime max has arrived! and just undergone debarking surgery.
day: march 1 (night) & march 2 all day
content warnings: sick man, sick dog, the whine (not)heard round the world.
notes: if it's feasible that frank or micro would have told your character where he is, then feel free to show up. or if you are sick maybe you are unlucky enough to encounter this jerkbutt. hit me up if you want something specific!

march 1

[ after frank gifted jessica a lovely murder basket, she suspects he isn't feeling himself (joke's on her tbh.) since only just injecting him with the experimental drug that would (with any luck at all) make him immune to kilgrave's powers, she assumes frank's weird behavior is a side effect and sends him to the clinic to get checked out. after akira puts him on bedrest, he's open to visitors, and of course the first person he wants to see isn't a person at all. he texts hawkeye and micro furiously: ] bring me my fucking dog, you assholes.

[ okay, so he might be a little testy. once a sleepy max just out of surgery is brought to the clinic, too, the dog will lay at the foot of his bed, alternating between lazily guarding and even lazier dozing. frank hates being stationary. he hates feeling useless. the aches and pains are taking a toll on him, but not as much as the rising tide of frustration and irritability. even if he's usually not a chill guy by a landslide, today he's especially twitchy. he'll likely be up long into the night fantasizing different and creative ways to make kilgrave hurt. oh, hi kids. didn't see you there. ]

march 2

[ frank hasn't slept much. between the fever and refusing to take anything stronger than aspirin, he's sweating and out of it, an angry red rash climbing steadily up the back of his neck to peek out of his black jumpsuit collar. the blankets are on his feet, but he keeps kicking them off. he hates being sick, and he knows he's a terrible patient besides. maria always used to scold him for acting like a child; or worse than their actual children since they took being sick like a champ, just happy for the day away from school. he could endure torture and pain aplenty, max the dog had witnessed both first-hand. he lived in bunkers buried in the sand and traveled to countries that were just holes in the ground, but a little fever and nausea and he's ready to die. every time a cold shiver wracks his spine, he wishes for it even; picturing the bullet in his skull. the doctors telling him a shift in millimeter increment would have killed him. should have, even the way it is.

max is on the floor now, his big block head peeking out from underneath the cot. he watches the door, alerting frank to any new arrival with a tiny growl before shutting his eyes again. the noise little more than a rattly rumble from the dog's barrel chest. the message is clear: you take this one, dad. i'll get the next. ]

[Will is not convinced, brow furrowing, even as he goes back to letting the dog. After a moment, he'll pick out the words he really wants to ask:]

is it that guy? is he back in your head?

[Will relaxes a little, tense shoulders slumping down from their rigid position.]

okay. good. she told me she was a cop.

did she come to visit you?
[Asked with the most knowing eyebrow-arch ever.]
deadboywalking: ([:o] post-flashback)

[personal profile] deadboywalking 2018-03-02 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
because you're friends. [Will's frowning a little now, like the answer's obvious. Or he's worried. You been ditched, daddo?]
deadboywalking: ([:o] que?)

[personal profile] deadboywalking 2018-03-03 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[From Will's perspective, yep. Sure are.]

maybe hospitals make her sad? or scared? or she doesn't want to see you hurt or sick.
deadboywalking: ([:o] why is my brother a loser)

[personal profile] deadboywalking 2018-03-03 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[That's what Will's here for. Artwork and being too damn perceptive.]

would it make you feel better if she visited?
deadboywalking: ([:(] withdrawn)

[Will raises and lowers a shoulder in a shrug, but he can't hide the small, pleased smile. Someone he admires likes him! And wants him around! This is literally the first time this has ever happened!!]

when i was in the hospital last year for a long time, everyone i cared about came and visited. it was nice. it made stuff less awful.

[Have a soft, huffy sound, Frank, and Will shifting to sit a little closer, still smoothing his hands over Max's ears, scritching up and down his neck.]

a lot of people care about you. you're nice to all the kids here. a lot of kids here aren't used to that from adults. like eddie and mike.

if it's bugging you, i can tell them to stop, though.
deadboywalking: ([:)] forreal?)

[Have a knowing look, Frank.]

cause you've got a reputation to uphold?
deadboywalking: ([:)] lmao samwise)

[There's another of those tiny stifled laughs, and Will rolling his eyes.]

you should go back to sleep.
is it okay if i stay for a little? i won't make any noise.
