Fandom: Sports Night
Pairing: Dan/Casey
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: They're not mine. They were Sorkin's brainchild, and ABC screwed them in that not-good way. I just play with them occasionally.
Notes: My webpage is iwannabedonna.
Continuing on the 'Answer every challenge' train... I have written one, count 'em, one, piece of "Sports Night" fiction. It was never finished and tossed out. But something about this combination screamed Dan/Casey. (Plus, Julian Lee wrote a couple of wonderful pieces of SN fic just recently, and it got me thinking.)

Warnings: None.
Summary: Dan is sick. Casey is utterly disturbed.

Challenge: Answering the April 2003 Beginnings Challenge ("Can I die now?"), and the Ripped from the Headlines Challenge (SARS). I so wanted to make it L&O, but the plot tribbles wouldn't let me.

 


The Usual Banter

by Perpetual Motion




"Can I die now?"

"No."

"Please."

"No."

"Maybe I have SARS."

"You don't have SARS."

"I could."

"You don't."

"But I could. I have all the symptoms."

"Dan, you have the flu. That is the symptom."

"But it feels worse than any flu I've had ever."

"You know you sound like a nine-year-old when you say that?"

"Does that make you a pedophile for sleeping with me?"

"I think I am now utterly disturbed."

"Case, where are you going?"

"To get you more juice, and perhaps find someone to give you SARS."

"Come back. No more pedophile quips, I promise."

"You actually do need juice."

"It can wait. Come back."

"Okay, fine, but if your throat gets parched, it's your own fault."

"Fine. Will you rub my back?"

"Yeah, turn over."

"I still think it could be SARS."

"Trust me, Dan, you'd be a lot less quippy if it were SARS."

"Quippy?"

"Quippy. Now try to sleep while I rub your back."

"Fine. Thanks, Case."

"Love you, Dan."
