No "I" in Nurse by Monkey_pie (PG)

Why this must be read: Because it's a story about the loopy and tender reality of MCR being a family. Written for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yobrothatssick sick!Frank challenge, this is a nifty peek in how the Waybros and Ray take care of an extra-phlegmy!Frank.
One of the best things about this fic is seeing the different ways each band member approaches the situation. Ray's practical attitude, Mikeyway's quiet and observant temperament and Gerard's randomly zany but very earnest way of looking at things show the strength and love everyone in the band feel for each other.
With random asides to Wayspeak and Wayfunk (its more questionable cousin), this is a fic that celebrates the bond and the history of present-time MCR.
An Excerpt
“No Ray, you can’t get that one,” Gerard exclaims with a noise of disgust.
Ray studies the box of cough syrup, brow furrowed. “Why not? It says right here multi-symptom cough and cold isn’t that what we need?”
Gerard purses his lips and lets out an exasperated sigh. “It’s grape flavored.” He looks expectantly at Ray, though Ray is not entirely sure what kind of reaction Gerard is expecting from this proclamation.
“Okay? But Frank likes grapes. And it says right here multi-symptom cough and cold.” Ray is standing by this assertion. He had spent the last 15 minutes crouched in the fluorescent-lit aisle diligently reading the labels on each box of cold medicine. Frank is back on the bus being a coughing, sneezing, sniffly, feverish mess and Ray is completely determined to bring back the perfect cure.
“Grape flavoring is an abomination,” Gerard declares. “It has no relation to actual grapes. You can’t get that for Frankie, it’s gross.” Gerard punctuates his words with an emphatic hand gesture that leaves a display of nasal sprays in disarray. “See if they have something red-flavored.”
