Something short and sweet for @taznovembercelebration day 10

Day 10: sick

The Taaco twins have one cardinal rule: if you receive a text consisting of SOS and a number, you call your twin in that many minutes and give them an excuse to leave wherever they are. No questions asked.

Read it on AO3

Taako's having a nondescript night at home when his phone lights up with a text.

SOS 7

He waits exactly seven minutes, then calls her.

“Hello?” She should get an Oscar for that greeting alone. It's a perfect tone of slight confusion with a tinge of concern.

“Lup,” he puts on a performance of his own, making his voice sound weak and strained, “you gotta come home right now.”

“Taako? Are you okay? What's going on?”

“I'm really sick,” he lays dramatically on the couch for effect, tossing an arm over his eyes, “I haven't been able to keep anything down, and we're out of tums and tylenol.”

“Alright, it's okay.” Her voice quiets a bit through the phone as she talks to the shmuck that she was convinced to go on a date with, “I'm sorry, I gotta go. My brother-”

“He's a grown man.” The guy's voice is quiet, seeing as the phone isn't on speaker, but Taako's able to pick it out. “Sit down.” He sounds like a douche.

“Lup,” he groans, “my stomach hurts so bad, and I'm burning up. I think I need to go to the hospital.”

“He's in a really bad way,” she says to the guy, “I need to go help him.”

He can only get a vague impression of the guy grumbling, but Lup says goodbye to him and a moment later, she says into the phone, “what a fucking asshole.”

He drops the ailing brother act, “that bad, huh?”

“Ugh,” he hears her car door slam, “me telling him I needed to leave just now was the most words I've been able to say in a row all night.”

“Gross.”

“Just wait ‘til I get home, it gets worse.”

“I'll see you soon.”

“Thank youuuuu.”

They hang up, and Taako goes back to his show. About 25 minutes later, the door swings open and slams shut.

“This fucking guy-”

About a month later, Taako's home alone again while Lup's out on a date. But he isn't waiting for an SOS, because this date in particular is with one Barry Bluejeans. Lup probably wouldn't admit it, but she's been cuckoo for him from the moment she laid her eyes on him and he opened his mouth. As far as Taako's concerned, they've been going on dates for ages now, they just lied to themselves and said they were hanging out as friends. But this date is for realsies. “We said it was romantic and everything,” Lup had told him a few days prior, buzzing with excitement.

Lup said she'd be back later that night, but he's honestly not expecting to hear from her until morning. So when his phone lights up, he's confused.

SOS 2

Taako scoffs and goes against SOS protocol, texting her back:

🌮🔔

No

lupdelup

what?

🌮🔔

Unless you give me a reason, absolutely not

lupdelup

I thought the whole point of this system was no questions asked

🌮🔔

I've had to listen to you talk about this guy for YEARS

You get all wistful about it every single time

If you tell me he's a creep or a douche or secretly racist or something, ill call you, but im not giving you a bail out call if you're just getting all in your own head overthinking and freaking out about being on a date with THE barold bluejaens.

lupdelup

Taako please i dont know if i can do this

🌮🔔

Of course you can, you're LUP

He's lucky that you're into him and i know that he knows that

Tell you what

I'll give you an SOS 60

lupdelup

60 is so many though

🌮🔔

I'll call you in an hour. If you still want to bail, then bail. But go back to your man and enjoy it. From what I know about him, it'll be the best date you've been on in months

lupdelup

Maybe even years.

🌮🔔

I'll talk to you in an hour

lupdelup

Fine

Asshole.

Taako sets himself a timer for 60 human minutes and goes about his evening. When it goes off, he considers not calling and waiting to see how long it'll take her to notice. But he's a man of his word, especially for Lup, so he calls. It rings, and rings, and rings. Taako's hopeful, Lup almost always picks up SOS calls on the second ring. It rings one more time before he's sent to voicemail.

The phone beeps in his ear.

“Your call has been forwarded to our automatic voice message system. Lup Taaco isn't available right now. Leave a message after the tone.”

“Told you,” he says, and hangs up.

Lup doesn't come home until morning.

Well, I don't feel nauseous after every swallow of food this morning 👍Bare minimum improvement.

I'm sipping water and nibbling on animal crackers for now. Ate some lunchmeat turkey slices and a bit of bread for breakfast an hour ago

My neck actually doesn't hurt much aside from like.. the soreness you get once something is done actively hurting. Does that make sense? But my head, ear, and eye still ache. So im thinking of limiting my screen time today as well u_u

Yesterday after the bath i pretty much just slept the rest of the day next to my mom as she watched tv, aside from moments she encouraged me to eat some granola to have something in my stomach. Then went downstairs to give the dogs their dinner, and listened to videos until bed time.

The nausea was really strong, but only after swallowing. And when i got some acid reflux i tried to take some chewy tums and THAT made the nausea skyrocket while i chewed one. But i was able to just do some deep breathing (while standing in the bathroom just in case lmao) and it passed. I chewed the second tums just fine

Idk man

Maybe I'll sit next to mom upstairs again. Maybe bring my sketchbook and doodle or something. Or write in a notebook. Or maybe I'll make a makeshift eyepatch so my right eye isn't bothered my screens. Idk! We'll see.

I promise im not ghosting anyone u_u I'm just having a wierd month to say the least

[getoswhore]

Alrighty, finally made it home--and am not procrastinating because I randomly remembered this...nooo--Alright so the start off is I'm dying internally and want to murder the uterus because it is being so mean. It went almost an entire month and then on the last day went "HI MF! MISSED ME????" and I didn't. Off of that, second this is that I have assignments due THE MINUTE WE COME BACK FROM BREAK. College (highschool) professors can suck my ass. My friend/study buddy is unable to show up and now I am running out of things to distract myself. I have an outline that I really don't wanna do. It's so boring. It's on the Gilded Age which is just ugh.

The other things is that I lost a really old friend. She...she decided she no longer has time for me but can go and do other things with other people after I've tried making plans with her for months. I was planning on giving her the birthday present, but then I had to get work done. I just...it hurts you know? I thought we were better than that, not that it matters. I'll be fine...like always. Just means my close friends have dropped to one, and she's one who...I have never met in person, but I love her like family. I guess that should work, right? Heh...look at me being depressing...I really need to not do that often. I'll be okay, I hope.. Thanks for listening!

please dont...dont ask

lots under the cut! <33

:(((( ik cramps can be icky but you got this!1! just put a warm heating pad on your tum tum n take some ibuprofen if you can n drink some warm milk! always works for me even when it feels at its worse :/ usually i think the cramps get bad when it's late? well, to me it does :((( but it's only just for a few days bb, you got this. <3

'A DAY DOESN'T DEFINE HER'

'Rakshanda!, Meri chai lay kay aao!'

('Rakshanda!, Bring me my tea')

'ji abhi lai,' ( 'coming!') was the reply that came from the kitchen.

After a few minutes later, she emerged with a tray in her hand and a duppatta wrapped around her head. Beads of sweats covered her forehead but she had no time to wipe it. Her husband has demanded tea and that is all she cares about.

She placed the tray on the side table. Her husband was rocking in a chair, reading a newspaper while the kids were playing infront of him.

'yeh lain ap ki chai' ( 'Here u go. Ur tea') she said.

'Hmm', he said while not even looking at her.

'Jaisay hi chai meri khtm ho, tum khana lagao,' ( 'The food better be ready by the time i finish this tea') ordered the husband and with that her heels were turned and she hurried back into the kitchen.

She made the salan(vegetables), the rotis(bread) and, at the same time, looked after the kids who came to her from time to time complaining about everything.

It was 35°c outside, she was dripping in sweat but her duppatta didnt fall of her head, her hands didn't stop from all the chores while her husband sipped the warm tea under the fan.

'Chai khtm hogai hai meri. Khana lagao,' ('serve the food i am done') he said as he put the cup on the tray and sat on the dining table.

The kids joined their father while she, alone, set up the table. The food was hot, the rotis(bread) were fresh-she did a fine job and now it was time to eat.

'Chai zara achi nhi thi. Ainda dekh kay banan', ( 'Tea wasnt good. Make sure its better the next time' ) he said while he placed his plate infront of him.

She only nodded and set the food for her kids. One bite for each by her hand, while her husband had the warm food all by himself.

'Yeh kia!. Aj sabzi roti kun banai?' ( 'What is this?! Vegetables again?')

'Ji woh murgi ap say kahi thi-----' ( 'Yes. I asked u to buy Chicke--_)

'Kia mtlb hai tumhra haan! Jab mai neh bola hai chuti walaye din acha khana banaya kro to tumhy baat samjh nhi aati hai'. ( 'What is the meaning of this?! I told you that on my off days, u're suppose to make 'good' food but u never listen!')

The kids looked at their father and then back to their mother. Her head was bowed while she fed them but her duppatta didnt left her head.

'Aik to pura hafta mehnat kro. Aik choti milaye to uspaye bhi ghr mai mach mach krti ho tum,' ( 'i work all week and when i get a day off, all i get is you yapping all day') he scolded her but still kept eating the warm food and the fresh rotis(bread).

The kids ate in silence. She didn't reply back.

After the kids were done, it was her time to eat. After a whole day of exhausted work, she was tired and hungry and the food looked delicious and she couldn't wait to dig in. She dragged her plate infront of her, poured the food and was about to have her very first bite when her husband stood up. She dropped the bite immediately and stood up with him.

'Ap ko kuch chahiye? mujhy bata dain.' ( 'Do you need something? I'll get it for you')

'Nhi mera hogaya. Subha jldi jana hai kaam pay isliye doodh abhi foran pio ga mai'. ( 'No. Im done. I need to leave early for work so get me my warm milk soon') He left and went to his room.

It was 8 at night in a small house of a small village. Rakhshanda, a housewife, cleaned the whole house, put her kids to bed, gave her husband his warm milk and then finally sat down to have her cold meal and roti(bread) and all this time her duppatta didnt fall of her head. She was exhausted and tired, her legs were sore, her back hurts like a thousand pins and needles were piercing inside her skin but still she worked tirelessly and then finally went to bed in order to start her day again, impressing her husband by fulfilling his demands and looking after her kids because she was told when she was little that this is her job which she would never be paid for.

While Rakhshanda worked throughout the whole day, miles and miles and miles away women held play cards and banners, dancing and taking selfies on the street celebrating 'WOMEN'S DAY'.

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ this is gross af

(no I'm not kidding you've been warned lol, I just had to share in case anyone wonders why I've been hit and miss on here lately, or in case this can tip anyone else off about what can happen)

*holds up the tissue I just blew my nose in* Yup that's a noodle....I bet you're wondering how I got in this situation. Well, let me tell you my tale of woe...

It all started with the pollen wave, it knocked out just about everyone but me especially. I got a sinus infection so bad it threw off my equilibrium to the point of severe nausea. Upon realizing it WAS a sinus infection I was hastily put on antibiotics and prednisone.

Being on antibiotics means a trip to the store for yogurt (any other vagina havers out there will understand why) and yogurt means cereal to go in it cause I'm weird that way.

My cereal of choice is Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which would be fine except I'm technically allergic to cinnamon. But I've had my food allergy symptoms under control for a long time so I don't even think about it anymore.

So finally I'm mostly better, though still tapering off the prednisone (a drug you shouldn't cold turkey for fear of rebound symptoms) annnnd I manage to find the only hole in the yard and twist my ankle. So I stay on the prednisone a little longer to help with the swelling that caused. And I decide as a little treat for myself I'll buy another box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch to snack on.

So prednisone done and ankle on the mend I decide to finish off said cereal as my night time meal, I don't quite do that and we have to get up early for a grand opening celebration the next day so perfect! I have cereal once again for breakfast....and guess what's at the grand opening? Snicker doodles!!! I never get to have snicker doodles anymore! (I think y'all can see my failures)

So I come home to go back to bed and...well my tummy hurts a little. "Weird my tummy never hurts, well I can sleep it off" I think to myself. So I get up....and yeah I'm a little nauseated, but it's probably because I'm hungry and that time of month probably has my iron tanked! I'll fix something rich in protein! Some Teriyaki chicken and noodles! (Failure numero dos....I am also allergic to ginger....and wheat....)

Now for a few precious minutes I'm feeling great! Yup just hungry......annnnd then suddenly very very nauseated, I go lay down and beg my mom to tell me I'm not sick, I can't be sick AGAIN

She says she's afraid the prednisone has completely reset all the hard work I put into getting my allergies in check (this indeed turns out to be the case) and I'm probably just gonna have to be careful for a few weeks

So I take some Tums and some Nexium and try to get some sleep....doesn't happen and the nausea takes it's natural course....and ofc nothing has digested because your stomach just doesn't do that when it's that upset.....

So yeah

I've been blowing noodles out of my nose since last night....

Kill me 🙃
