[ If you had to rank the Samezuka swimming team in order of care-giving abilities, Rin would probably be treading water down at the end of the list. It's not that he doesn't care, or that he's not sensitive or thoughtful enough to provide what needs to be provided, it's just that --
He's Rin. He does the teeth thing. People compare him to a shark. Sharks don't make chicken soup or fold damp hand-towels to drape over feverish brows.
It had been Makoto who'd called him, all the way from Chiba. Iwatobi's yearly recreational trip had coincided with a rather nasty incidence of the flu about the town. Though most of the team had been fortunate enough to avoid its effects, Rei hadn't managed to avoid it. And of course Rei's parents are off on some hot-spring trip (in the middle of July? Of course Ryuugazaki's parents are as ... interesting ... as he is), so no one's left to play nursemaid but Rin.
Even Gou had sent him a text message full of pre-emptively angry emoticons.
So Rin sidles into the Ryuugazaki residence, a thermos full of (store bought) soup tucked under one arm. He's visibly uncomfortable, especially in the lacy Goth Loli cold mask that he's wearing (for some reason, the only kind of cold mask that anyone in the entire hall had was this one -- he has a feeling that someone's fucking with him). In his other hand, he has a konbini bag full of cough drops, flu medication, and some sort of new-age herbal shit that Gou had insisted that he bring. ]

Not dead yet, huh?
