5. Text, PSA | Not even bothered to be locked from Minato

Attn: Ladies especially

My brother Minato is recovering from mono! That means he's still contagious. So if he takes you out somewhere, don't kiss him, even though he's cute. Or share straws or chopsticks. (And it might be good to wash your hands if you touch him but try to do it quietly because he's sensitive.)

But he is getting better and he's been sleeping all month, so if you see him you should say hello and get to know him! He's a really nice guy when he isn't full of germs. ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ He likes music and listening to people talk to him, and he'd really love to make some new friends.

[This post comes with only the best of sisterly intentions. Minato may love to sleep, but she'd seen how grumpy he'd gotten with almost a month of enforced bed rest. It was time for him to get out and meet new people, and what better way than to give him a not-so-gentle push?

Whatever her purpose was though, it got a reaction. Minako didn't bother to wait until her brother was asleep again to post, so not too long after her PSA goes up, another message quickly follows from a somewhat embarrassed and rather annoyed Minato.]

Please disregard most of what my sister has posted here! Except the part about mono.

But I'm not sensitive, and I'm not looking for anyone to kiss right now. [He has a kind of sort of girlfriend here, after all.]

Though I guess if anyone knows much about playing the violin or likes running, it would be nice to find someone to run with a few times a week when I'm better.

[It feels kind of weird asking about that, but... without Akihiko, running and keeping in shape is going to get lonely, and he doesn't know if the school has a track team. So, even if he is annoyed with his sister for starting all this, he... is kind of slightly grateful. And he might as well take advantage of it to ask about a running partner, right?

Besides, maybe there's someone else out there who plays the violin or something, too. He missed the concert due to illness, and he regrets the chance not to find some more people who play music.]

[ Minako is gonna get a knock on her door later on with a still kind of pale and sickly but at least up and walking around brother linefacing at the door.

He is super not impressed, ok ]

[action]

[greatseal]

[She has absolutely no idea why he'd be unimpressed. Her words were all true and she picked a very cute picture of him to advertise with!

She cheerfully opens the door.] Hey, Minato!

[ Chie's just...is so glad she doesn't have a sibling around to embarrass her like that. ]

Isn't this a little embarrassing for your brother?!

[greatseal]

[yes]

He'll be all right. It's better to be safe than have anyone accidentally get sick!

[thewunderkind]

Your brother was the target of biological warfare?

text

[fools_journey]

It wasn't warfare. Just an ordinary virus.

[greatseal]

No, he just got sick. [biological warfare what]

[Private to Minato, MINAKO KEEP OUT]

[helenchanter]

[OH MY GODS CAN YOU NOT REMIND EVERYONE HOW AND WHO HE MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN THAT FROM.]

We need to get back at your sister.

...also I'll go running with you, as soon as you have the energy to do so.

[fools_journey]

She's trying to read over my shoulder right now. [ So they shouldn't plot right now. ]

I'd like that. Thank you.

[pastalishe]

Minako, I think that your brother bears the responsibility to keep himself from kissing others while he's still contagious.

Minato, I don't want to hear any excuses.

[What an absolutely despicable sounding person!!]

[text]

[fools_journey]

Excuse for what?

[ He is honestly confused. What did he do? His sister is the one being a jerk here! ]

[text]

[greatseal]

But this warning is for any girls who might not be able to resist! They deserve all the facts.

[aurathread]

He's not that cute.

[fools_journey]

[ This person disagrees with his sister. . . . they are okay in his books, even if he feels like he should be hurt at being called 'not that cute'. ]

If my sister tries to argue with you, just ignore her.

Of course he is!

[Considering what happened in Animus, Minato and Miki both might be able to indirectly get back at her. Minako has a crappy immune system, and if he's a carrier, he's pretty sure she'll be down for a month and be even ten times more intolerable than her brother about staying in bed. Shinjiro only hopes his immune system is more than enough to make up for it, or else he's going to be down and out and he doesn't want to answer any probing questions.

Shit, though, he's still wondering how the hell Minato got it. ]

I don't think Minato needs a warning label.

[ Minato almost doesn't say anything because this is super awkward, but... he feels like he has to. ]

I'm sorry if I infected you. I'm not sure how long the incubation period is.

[Text]

[greatseal]

Looks can be deceiving, senpai!

But I don't really think he'll have a problem. I'm just teasing him.

[look Minato, she's admitting it.

also both boys had better hope she doesn't find out about why they're freaking out behind her back.]

[voice]

[whereibelong]

[Oh, so that's where Minato had gone? He was sick again? She seems concerned]

What is mono? It's a disease, right?

[She knows a bit about diseases she's never heard of mono. Also... noooot commenting on the rest of that; is that the kind of thing that sisters normally do? Has she been shirking her sisterly duties out of ignorance]

[voice]

[fools_journey]

Mm.

It's full name is mononucleosis. It's caused by a virus.

[ Minato's voice is a little hoarse and froggy, but it's definitely better than it would have been if she'd talked to him even a week ago! ]

[voice]

[greatseal]

It's a disease that makes you really tired for a while... It's not dangerous as long as you rest but it lasts for a few weeks.

[video]

[spaztastic]

[Sorry Minato. Before Shiki could even stop herself, she had turn the video on just in time for her to be seen giggling in the feed. You two are just too much. XD]

[video - but no really]

[fools_journey]

. . . it's not really that funny, is it?

[Text]

[trollsdragons]

Ah, the curse of being devilishly handsome - it's quite the cross to bear, isn't it?

[Text] Best response. xD

[fools_journey]

Um... I think it's more the curse of having a sister who thinks she's very funny.

{ Video }

[til]

I hope he feels better soon. { She is a bit confused by mono - mainly because she hasn't heard of it before - but being sick sucks. She knows that much. } Has he tried soup?

[voice]

[greatseal]

He'll be fine. It's just one of those illnesses you have to rest to recover from.

[She'd bet he's sick of soups by now, honestly.]

[imthegoodguy]

I think this was a little too much information to share on the network.

[ text ]

[greatseal]

It's just a public service announcement.

[More like public trolling.]
