[Chuck hasn't been this sick in his life. His head is throbbing and that's probably directly what is causing the nausea and subsequent vomiting and the absolute last person he wants to see him like this is his dad.
He's not an idiot, he knew going into it that carrying the neural load of a real Jaeger and fighting a real kaiju is different from all of the simulations and tests he's been through. He was fully aware that it was going to be the hardest fucking thing he ever did and that's true but it's also the best.
The monster is dead and for the first time in years, Chuck feels like he's doing something.]
Piss off, Dad.
[That would be an entirely more threatening and convincing statement if Chuck could actually pick up his head from the toilet seat to say it. But he can't, because Herc being close to him actually-- is soothing his headache, like his dad's presence is a soothing balm and it's too sudden to be a coincidence. And fuck that.]
