@cleceptiive said: It was a nightmare. It had to be. Just a terrible, terrible nightmare in which Rantaro was stumbling his way, clutching a wound from which so much blood streamed, even trickling between his fingers. He couldn't breath, but he has to do something. Hiro runs over to him. "P-Please... keep pressure on the wound..." Tears were already streaming down his cheeks. "Y-Yeah... l-like that... I'm going to call f-for help!! Hang in there, y-you can do it, Rantaro!!" He goes to grab his phone.
if rantaro got shot, would you...
he only vaguely remembers getting shot , he wouldn’t notice it save for the searing pain in his side with every step , the blood seeping between his fingers as he tries to keep it in. his breathing is heavy , the world seems to swim before his eyes as he crumbles to his knees , face contorted in pain. he whimpers slightly , his hands & arms shaking with the effort of using fading strength to hold himself together. it’s only a single wound , something he supposes he should be thankful for , & knowing him , he probably deserved more , but got off lightly. he hadn’t expected to run into hiro , watching him from the ground where he now lays. breathing takes considerable effort , his hands press lighter & lighter against his side now , noises of pain escaping him with nearly every breath. a bloodied hand reaches out , falling to his side & revealing a gruesome sight ; a hole shot through his clothes & skin , oozing blood & draining energy from him with every passing second. the only thing he’d done was try to help , & now he might die for it. how pathetic , he thought , a grim smile crossing his face for a brief second.
his voice is weak , the ground is cold , & his clothes are sticking to his skin. would help even come in time , could he even be helped now ?? his breathing is heavy still , eyes nearly shut , he doesn’t try calling out again. the pain is only a dull throb in his mind now , he knows he must look quite a sight. had he scared hiro , showing up out of nowhere all bloodied & injured. he wondered , vaguely , if this would be how hiro remembered him , dying on the ground because he was an idiot who got shot.
‘ can you.....do something....for me ?? ’
he forces his voice a bit louder , trying to get hiro’s attention for what may be the last time. he’s tired & cold , it takes so much energy to try & stay alive now.
‘ ......can you....i want...to see you smile....please ?? ’
