After finding out that Liam was ill and in bed, Reagan had decided to visit. After all she hadn't seen him in a while, and she didn't want him to be on his own all day.
She threw a hoody over her cookie monster t-shirt, and after saying a quick goodbye to Holly (her room mate) she left the dormitory and made her way to the boys block.
She'd hoped she had the right dorm number, she could have sworn it was number three, so she knocked twice, pushing her hair out of her face. She hadn't even bothered to put her usual make-up on, she didn't really need to know she had Liam. She didn't need to impress anyone.
She pushed the door open, surprised it was unlocked and quietly walked in. She had the right room. Thank God. "Hey" She said with a smile, as she noticed Liam in bed with his laptop by the side.
ooc: haha. lame start but hey (: |

Liam was coughing his lungs up as he heard the knock on the door. As soon as his coughing stopped, he sneezed and therefor couldn't say "come in" before the smiling face of his beautiful girlfriend met him. Geeze, she didn't even do anything special and yet she always left his breathless. He smiled weakly, shutting his laptop and killing the volume of the music (ARMOR FOR SLEEP - Williamsburg<3) coming from it. He shoved it onto the nighttable, which was littered with cough medicine, gatorade, tissues, and his phone. He patted the spot next to him on his queen-sized bed and smiled up at her. "Hey how have you been?" His voice was strange and hoarse from being swollen and coughing so much. He managed to stay sick-free for all of about ten seconds, before coughing and sneezing a few times again. He brought a tissue up to his nose and looked apologetically at her. He dropped the tissue in the wastebasket by his bed. |

Reagan crossed the room, and took a seat on the other side of Liam, her legs folded beneath her. She smiled at him, he wasn't very well at all. "You sound awful" She joked, "No offense" She added, with a grin.
She kicked her low back converse off, so she wouldn't ruin the quilt cover with her tatty shoes. "Never mind me, I've been fine, how long have you been like this?" She asked, fiddling around in her jacket pocket for something. She drew out a pack of Cherry Strepsols, "These are the nicest thing ever, they're used for emergencies only" She said with a smile, handing them to him, "I'll let you have them" She finished. She hoped he'd get better soon, she hated seeing him ill, but at least he wasn't worse. |

Liam smiled as she sat down next to him, worried to touch her or anything cause he didn't know if he would make her sick. He'd been taking medicine for over 24 hours, he shouldn't be contagious. But just in case... He laughed as she joked, his laugh sound as strange as his loss of voice. "I'm the worst I've been right now, I think." His raspy voice being a little more than strange as he tried to talk. This was the most talking he'd done in days. Lately none of his roomies had talked much anyway so he hadn't had to. "No, not nevermind you. I still care. And only like three days. Not too long..." He smiled as she handed him some more medicine. This was a reason he loved her, she was so thoughtful and no matter how shitty you felt, she could always make you smile even if you didn't want to. He coughed violently again. |

She pushed the sleeves of her jacket up, so they reacher her elbows. It sounded that it was painful for him to speak, he must have a really bad sore throat. Three days was long for Reagan, she hardly ever got sick. She was just one of those people.
"Three days you've been like this?" She said, looking around, at the bedside table which was covered in tissues, glasses of water and some sort of medication. "Why didn't you call me or something?" She added with a smile. She'd have gladly come over and kept him company, "You didn't expect your roomies to look after you right?" She laughed, "Boys are hopeless" She continued, with a small smirk.
She jumped up off the bed, deciding to make herself useful instead of just sitting there. |

Liam watched as Reagan messed with her hoodie, she was always so effortlessly pretty. He loved it. She spoke up and sounded surprised. "Yeah, but i've etiehr been in the chat rooms with those idiots or asleep so I don't mind much. Or watching 80s movies. It's cool..." He croaked, his voice breaking slightly in the middle of his attempted statement. He smiled by reflex since she did, he always did. She had that effect on him... "Yeah, they've been shoving soup in my face and leaving for hours on end. Not as hopeless as you'd think. Chris and Chase are nice guys." He raised an eyebrow as she jumped off his bed, shaking is slightly. "Whatcha doin?" |

Reagan looked around the room, it was tidier than hers, well her side of her room anyway. Even though she had cleaned it the other day it wasn't long before it became a mess again.
She laughed, by idiots she guessed he meant Ryuu, Maxxie and whoever else was online.
Smiling still, she always did around Liam, she went over to the bin, deciding to empty it or something.
"Cute" She said in response to what his comment about Chris and Chase, "I don't think I've met them before" She added, she didn't think she had.
"Trying to be helpful" She grinned, picking up stray tissues from the floor which had missed the bin, there wasn't really much she could do. But she wanted to help as much as possible. |

Liam smiled as she looked around, still a little confused. He nodded as she talked, maybe she thought his room was too tidy. In actuality, it wasn't. He just hadn't gotten up to make much of a mess in days. So it wouldn't be bad. And he didn't share the room, so no one else would make a mess. He laughed slightly as she tried to be helpful, and she was, as his laughter turned into coughing. His coughing stopped and just as he opened his mouth to say something else, he sneezed twice. He wiped his nose on the sleeve of his hoodie and looked up at her. "You don't have to. You're my girfriend, not the maid." |

She tipped the load of tissues into the bigger bin, and turned back to face him just as he sneezed. "Bless you" She laughed, "Eugh, Liam that's gross" She added, as he used his sleeve as a hoody.
Reagan sat herself back on the bed, fidgeting until she was beside Liam, to be perfectly honest she didn't really care if she caught his cold.
Shrugging she replied with, "I'd be a rubbish one" which was totally true, she couldn't keep anything tidy for long. "But starting from now, I'm going to be your maid" She laughed, "and your girlfriend" She added.
Sticking her short legs in front of her, crossing one over the other she then said, "So, are you sure you don't need anything?"
She shot him a smile, "If not, I'll have my paycheck and leave you be" She joked.

He watched as she ran around his room and did stuff, smiling. She was so willing to help, he was so happy to have her. Not that he wasn't all the time, but more now. He laughed, sounding all congested as she said him wiping his nose on his sleeve was gross. He pointed to the box of tissues, which was empty. He smiled as she sat close to him, putting an arm around her waist. He wasn't going to do much more than that, holding hands maybe, but he really didn't want her to be as sick as him in a week. He didn't want her to go through this. It was torture. Better now that she was there but still... He laughed as she decided to be both his girlfriend and maid. He would be okay with that, but he'd definately tidy up a lot more around the dorm so she wouldn't be overworked. "Yeah I don't need anything, just having you here's good enough." He smiled, grabbing her hand with his free one. |

She grinned as he grabbed her hand, and she entwined her fingers with him. Things had been so perfect for the last few weeks, she'd never have thought this would have happened.
She glanced at the empty box of tissues, and fished a small white tissue out of her jacket pocket, she seemed to have everything with her. "I only have one left" She smiled, "Its clean I promise, only use it when you've finished with your sleeve"
She fiddled with her wad of bracelets, she had a strange obsession with beaded and homemade bracelets, you could say she collected them. And she always wore far too many. "I'm actually not helping, you should be resting, then you'd get better quicker" She pointed out with her famous grin, "But I'd rather sit here with a sick Liam, than no Liam at all" She smiled, "I wouldn't want you to be lonely" |

Liam smiled as they held hands, he really was starting to think he loved her. Not like, but love. And that was rare for him, he hadn't ever loved before. He was unsure wether or not to tell her, and decided against it. There would come a better time, one when he could kiss her too. Instead of now when he would probably just sneeze on her... Oh well. He took the tissue from her with a thankful smile and laid it on his bedside table. Speaking of Reagan's bracelets, there was one that he had bought her and one he had made her that he noticed on her wrist. He never had any on him besides a purple rubberband and a string one that someone had made him back home and it said lover on it in letter beads. He'd had a heck of a group of friends back home in New York. He surprisingly didn't miss them much, he had great friends and an amazing girlfriend here. What did it matter who he missed when he didn't need to. "I like not being lonely, I like having you here. I feel better already." |

"I like being here" She said in reply, tilting her head back a bit to smile up at him. She was starting to get used to being small, well small around Liam, it didn't really bother her anymore.
She wriggled slightly, bringing her legs closer to her chest, so that her knees were now almost level with her head.
"So what exactly have you been doing all this time?" She asked, tracing her fingers over his. "I'd get so bored sitting in bed all day, I guess I'm lucky not to get ill very often"
She continued, she was rambling again. She often did this, it was a bad habit of hers.
Most of what she said sometimes was utterly useless, and completely irrelevant to the conversation at the time.
Her attention was then drawn to her collection of bracelets on her wrist, almost every single one held a memory. Most of them were souvenirs from places she had been, her favourite one was the pink, yellow and white beaded one that Liam had made for her.
Of course. She laughed, "I remember when you made this" She said, it was before they were going out, they had been friends for a while now.
OOC: idk if that makes any sense (:

The fact that Reagan liked spending time with him even though he was sick out of his mind and might not remember that she was here made him happy. No one else he knew would stick it out with him being sick, his roommates hadn't, his best friend Oli was busy, and Ryuu would just throw beers at him. Liam had cut down on drinking a lot ever since that night in Sierra, when he had pulled Holly into that back room and... well, he didn't like to think about it. He didn't drink much anymore mostly because he knew if he did, he'd do something stupid and maybe lose Reagan. And seeing as she was the only one who would stick it out with him, why the hell would he do that? He loved her. "I've been on my laptop. And it is boring, only laugh when I'm in the chat rooms with Ryuu and Jared and Holly and Max and you and everyone." He brightened up a little. He watched her mess with her bracelets, her fingers stopping on a farmilliar looking one. Why? Oh yeah, he'd made it. "I remember making it too. It was your birthday. Or my birthday. I'm not sure... but it was someone's birthday." |

Reagan laughed, the chatrooms sure were entertaining, especially when everyone was online. Basically that meant, Ryuu, Jared, Holly and Max, as well as her and Liam.
"Hours of our lives are wasted on the internet" She laughed, which was true, but there was nothing you could do about it.
She fiddled with the bracelet, remembering the day when her, Liam, Holly and most likely some other people were sat in her dormitory making bracelets from the kit she had received for her birthday.
"Oh yeah" She laughed, as it came back to her, "I got a large contained full of beads, and then a back of elastic" to her that was actually a great birthday present, she loved making jewelery.
"Doesn't it seem really weird, that was like a year ago" She added randomly, leaning against him, but it wasn't as if she was pushing him or anything, she was so small she wondered if he could even feel the weight.
"Or near enough a year" She corrected, if she remembered right it was either her fifteenth birthday, or her sixteenth. Both seemed ages ago. |
