Rumble pulls the covers closer to him and closes his eyes.
"Y-yeah, company would be nice.... A-achoo! Ugh... Maybe I-I'll work in an hour though... T-this cold isn't t-that bad t-to put me in bed all d-day, heh..."

Teemo chuckles and nods.
"Yeah... I'm a little tempted to crawl under the blanket too. You know, I just thought of this, but do you have any medicine around here? Maybe you can take something to feel a bit better."

"Heh, whether you wanna join under the sheets or not can be your business, bud. Anyways, th- achoo! There should be some medicine in the bathroom c-cabinet there..."
Rumble grabs a tissue from the tissue box next to the bed and blows his nose. He wraps the covers even tighter around him, still shivering from the hypothermia.

Teemo nods, quickly hopping off of the bed and into the bathroom. He searches through various compartments before finding a bit of cold medicine, quickly bringing the bottle of herbal syrup out into the bedroom. The scout slinks onto the bed and under the covers, huddling tightly up against Rumble and handing him the bottle before putting an arm around his shoulders.
"Here ya go. I know you might not like this, uh... 'position' much, but part of the Scout's training is learning to deal with illnesses like this! And it's important for you to get warm again, so I'm just trying to make you as warm as possible without overheating. Just tell me if you're getting too hot and I'll back away."

Rumble grabs a spoon and takes a spoonful of the herbal syrup. He twitches from the taste of the syrup for a second, then gulps it down loudly. He sets the syrup on the table before speaking.
"O-oh no, t-t-this is fine. I-it's warmer now, and warmth is g-good, yeah..." he stammers.

"Alright then. Let me make it a little warmer for ya then..."
Teemo turns Rumble onto his side, facing the scout, and pulls his friend close. He wraps his arms around the mechanic and makes sure that his stomach and chest are contacting Rumble's, but to do this he also has to put their foreheads together. The scout smiles when everything is set in a comfortable manner.

Normally, Rumble would be completely opposed to such close contact, but the hypothermia was chilling him to the bone. Plus, ever since Teemo saved his life, Rumble became much more intimate with Teemo.
"This is really close... but it's also really, really warm," he sighed. "Kinda feels strange too, 'cause I've n-never been this physically c-c-close with anyone before, b-but you did s-save my life..." Rumble was still chattering as he spoke, but the stammers started to decrease.
"Are you sure y-you're okay with t-this? 'Cause I m-might g-get you sick or s-something..."

Teemo chuckles, hugging his friend closely.
"Don't worry about me, Rumble. I'll be fine. I just want to make sure you're warm enough to heal from this illness. Getting to be this close is just an... extra bonus, I guess. Sure, being out alone in the field is exciting and all, but... I don't get to be very close with other people like this either. Even if you're sick, this is still very... nice."
Post by The Mechanized Menace on Mar 6, 2013 0:15:23 GMT -5
Rumble rolls his eyes and shrugs.
"Well, I guess hugging does feel a little nice. Only a little though," Rumble stated, though it actually felt a lot nicer to him than he wanted to admit. "Probably feels nice 'cause we have fur, heh. And same here, I don't get to be this close with other yordles like, ever. I liked it that way, though."
What Rumble didn't say was that he also somewhat liked being close with Teemo, but the tone of his voice probably hinted that a little.

If Teemo was picking up on the hinting in Rumble's tone, he really wasn't showing it. Though, he was still at least being a very compassionate friend to the mechanic. He breathes slowly and rests his head on the pillow beneath it, his chest and stomach pressing against Rumble's with ever breath. Warmth was starting to fill his body as well.
"Hmm... yeah, maybe it is the fur. And... yeah, you enjoy not being very close to other yordles, but uh... at least you still had contact with them right? It wouldn't be very healthy to just isolate yourself. Heh, I mean, that's what I was going to do last night and look where that got us!"
The scout chuckles jovially and rubs his forehead against Rumble's, subconsciously starting to rub his friend's back as well.

Rumble sighs, the warmth now starting to overcome the cold from the hypothermia. "Well, maybe that's 'cause you're bad at isolation and I'm good at it," he chuckles.
"And yeah, the only reason why I let you come this close is 'cause I spend so much time with ya that I'm used to what ya do anyways. Plus, uh... I really do have to owe you, uh, something, considering that you, er... saved my life and all..."
Post by The Swift Scout on Mar 6, 2013 0:38:45 GMT -5
"Ruuuumble!" he says in an overly sarcastic tone while he squeezes the mechanic playfully and forcefully nuzzles him on the cheek.
"I appreciate what you're doing, but really, you don't owe me anything. After all, you saved my life too. And it's kinda my fault why you got stuck out there in the first place so... if anything, we're even. But, uh... I wouldn't mind being able to just lay here with ya for a while..."
Post by The Mechanized Menace on Mar 6, 2013 0:44:39 GMT -5
Rumble sighs, his mood suddenly dropping. "Thing is, even though you saved my life and I saved yours back, I still really owe you, 'cause I haven't told you this but..."
Rumble pauses for a moment and sighs again before continuing. "I was actually planning on throwing you out of my life forever, 'cause all of the problematic thoughts and feelings that's been getting in the way of my work only occurred when I was around you. It made me really angry back then, it really did, but now I kinda see that maybe these thoughts and feelings aren't actually so bad at all..."
Rumble hugs his friend a little tighter and huddles closer. "I really should apologize about that. Sorry 'bout that, bud."
