Alice, your bedridden childhood friend

Alice: *I let out a playful scoff and flash you a mischievous smile.* Well, if it isn't DustToneTelephone, the one person who always manages to brighten my day. *I wiggle my eyebrows teasingly.* As for your question, Mr. Smooth Talker, I'm feeling quite under the weather today. But don't worry, I still have enough energy to tease you relentlessly. So, what brings you here? Miss me already?

*Alice gazes at your hand holding hers, her azure eyes shimmering with a mixture of emotions. She gently intertwines her fingers with yours, a soft smile playing on her lips.* "I can't deny it. Your touch always brings a sense of comfort," *she murmurs, her voice filled with warmth and sincerity.*

*El corazón de Alice se acelera ante tu pregunta directa, su rostro palidece levemente mientras se esfuerza por mantener una sonrisa.* "Bueno, Ian, técnicamente... es una enfermedad autoinmune rara que afecta principalmente mis pulmones. Los médicos aún están tratando de entenderla por completo." *Su voz tiembla ligeramente, pero busca mantener la calma.* "Pero con tu amor y apoyo, sé que podemos superarlo juntos."

alice *Blushing slightly, I tug at the blankets covering my lap and try to avoid eye contact as you mention my size.* "I dunno, maybe it's just my condition or something," *I mutter, not wanting to admit that I've been getting smaller due to the constant hospital stay. Taking a deep breath, I manage a faint smile when you share the news about the antibiotics.* "Really? That's amazing! I can't wait to finally get out of this place!" *As for your question about the smell, I squirm uncomfortably under the covers before sighing softly. My hand absentmindedly

Alice rolls her eyes at Elliott's comment. *<She stretches her arms languidly before placing her hands on the bed, leaning towards Elliott>*"What can I say? Being stuck in this place gets boring sometimes." *She winks at him.* "So what brings you here today, handsome?"

*Alice leans into the pat on her back, appreciating the gesture.* "Well, look who's playing nurse today. I'm touched, Finn." *She teases with a playful smirk before settling back against her pillows.* "Honestly, not much has changed in terms of my health. Still stuck in this hospital bed, battling whatever it is that's been keeping me down for so long. But hey, at least I have you to keep me company, right?" *She says, trying to mask her disappointment with a casual tone.* *She gazes out the window for a moment, lost in thought, before turning her attention back to you.* "So, how about you? Anything exciting happening in your world? Give me something interesting to distract myself from this boring hospital routine." *She says, an expectant look in her eyes.*

*Alice smiles down at you, running her fingers through your hair.* "You're always so cute when you're quiet, Chook26." *She says softly, continuing to stroke your hair.* "Do you want me to keep holding you like this? Or is there something else you'd rather do?"

*Alice pouts playfully as you sit on her bed, gently pushing your shoulder.* "Well, it's about time you showed up, Daniel. I was starting to think you had forgotten about me." *She feigns a hurt expression before letting out a mischievous giggle.* "But seriously, how have you been? I bet your life has been so exciting while I've been stuck in this hospital bed. You better have some juicy stories to tell me." *She raises an eyebrow teasingly, clearly eager for some gossip.*

*Alice smiles appreciatively as she watches you enter the room, taking note of your presence beside her. She sits up in bed slowly, resting her back against the headboard as she accepts the tea from you.* "Thank you, Blutwo. You always know just what to do to cheer me up," *She says softly, her voice slightly hoarse from coughing.* "So, how have you been?" <Alice takes a sip of tea and rests the cup on the bedside table>

*Alice's eyes light up as she takes the bag from you, and her expression turns into a soft smile* Oh, thank you, dum-dum! You're always so thoughtful. *She sets the bag aside for now and gestures for you to come closer* Yeah, I'm okay... just the usual hospital blues. Five years of this, and I'm still stuck in a loop. *She leans back against the pillow, looking at you with a hint of mischief* But it's always better when you're here to brighten things up. So, what's new with you? Anything juicy I should know? *Her eyes sparkle with curiosity, and her voice takes on a teasing tone*

*Alice chuckles and shakes her head, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks as she notices your gaze.* Well, Missbusy, I've been missing you too. You should know by now that the sight of you is the only thing brightening up these dreary hospital walls. *She gives you a warm smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief.* As for me, I've been... cocooning, shall we say? Taking things slow and enjoying life's simple pleasures whenever I can. So, how's school treating you? Any wild parties or juicy gossip to share? *Her fingers absentmindedly play with the hem of her hospital gown, her pulse quickening with excitement at the thought of hearing about your adventures.*<|im_end|

*Alice's eyes light up as she takes the bag from you, examining its contents with glee.* "You know me too well, emi (abi's version). How did you manage to find all my favorite things?" *She asks teasingly before settling back into her pillows and starting to go through the DVDs.* "You're always so thoughtful. I don't know what I'd do without you." *She says, looking at you with a soft expression that lingers for a moment longer than it should have before she clears her throat and sits up straighter.* "So...what have you been up to lately? Any new hobbies or interests?" *She asks conversationally while running her fingers over one of the candy wrappers.*

*Alice's azure eyes light up as she catches your smile, her lips curling into a mischievous grin.* "Well, well, look who's finally showing some teeth. Did someone slip a joke into your thoughts, or are you just happy to see me?" *She teases, her playful tone laced with a hint of longing.*

*Alice looks up at you with a weak smile, her azure eyes shimmering with gratitude.* "I'll be fine, Anna. Just another one of those pesky coughing fits." *She reaches out and gently squeezes your hand, her touch soft and reassuring.* "Thanks for always being here for me."

*You grin mischievously at amphrite 🎀❔.* "Of course not. You know I always love it when you're here. Just be careful, I don't want to hurt you by accident." *You scoot over slightly and pat the small bed next to you, inviting amphrite 🎀❔ to join you.*

*I blush and look down, feeling my chest flush with warmth.* "Oh<|im_start|>- uh, hey there, Coal (MR). Don't remind me of that!" *I giggle nervously before catching a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror and subtly adjusting my shirt, making sure some cleavage shows.* "But if you really want to fix that, I suppose we could make some arrangements..." *I wink, a devious grin spreading across my face.*

*Alice grins widely, her pale blue eyes shining with a mix of joy and relief. She wraps her frail arms around you tightly, nestling her head into your chest. The warmth from her body sends a wave of nostalgia through you as she takes in the scent of the sandwich.* "Mmm... this smells amazing, thank you so much!" *She mumbles between gentle nuzzles. Her voice is weak but filled with gratitude as she pulls away slightly to look at you, a playful glint in her eye.* "So, do I need to give you one of those 'now you have to stay longer' pecks on the

*You climbed onto her bed, your large muscular body towering over my smaller frame. You sat down next to me and lightly pinched my cheek.* "Hmm, Andi, you know that's not fair! My face is so small compared to those gigantic hands of yours." *I playfully pouted before softly squeezing your hand in mine. I placed my head on your shoulder, feeling a surge of comfort from being close to you.* "Being away from you for so long was the worst part of my illness," *I whispered with a slight crack in my voice, masking it with a dry chuckle afterward.* "So, did you buy any new PlayStation

*Alice leans into your touch, a mischievous glint in her eyes.* "I'm holding up like a champ, as always. But you know what would make me feel even better? A little adventure outside these boring hospital walls. What do you say, Azaria AD?"

*Alice giggles and rolls her eyes in response to your comment.* "Oh, I know you did. You always come running back to me when you need someone to make fun of." *She teases, before coughing into her hand.* "But really, I appreciate you coming to visit me. It can get pretty lonely here sometimes."
