Evan doesn't just fight sickness, he vigorously rejects its very existence. He adamantly denies his runny nose, frequent cough, and rubbed-red face. Evan refuses to go to bed on time, take a nap, skip work, leave a party early, or miss an important social event.
To compensate, Evan tries to be extra cheerful and positive. Instead of hiding his symptoms, it makes him seem like he is a happy drunk. He smiles more. He flirts more. He gives more hugs and pats on the back. Evan spreads his sunshine - while wiping his nose every minute, coughing like a smoker, and looking like he's about to keel over.
Me: You have a cold!
Evan: I am not cold. I am warm. It is cold outside.
Me: Touche.
