Collapse Aftermath - Leader Whump
He tried to stay upright. He really did, but the second Leader's knees buckled any effort to grip onto composure was lost.
A quiet groan was the most objection Leader managed at the arms locking around him, flaring the wound in his side.
Colourful exclamations of panic from his teammate morphed into something distant as he slumped against the other, short breaths the only thing to be heard above the heavy heartbeat- not his own, thudding against his ear.
Heavy limbs of no use to him, Leader could only shudder as Teammate lowered him to the floor, the painstaking care doing nothing for the torn skin that screamed in protest until the ceiling above finally flooded his vision.
His eyelids drooped beneath the harsh fluorescent tubes glaring down, a distinct chill settling around him as his head lulled to the side.
"Shit, shit! Hey- Can you hear me?"
Leader mustered some vague groan, frantic tapping against his cheek tugging back on his thread of consciousness. He failed to bite back his half-strangled cry, no warning coming before the firm pressure pushed into his side.
"Fuck! Why didn't you say something?" Teammate's wide eyes flickered from their captain's wound to his paling face.
".. 'thought I had it h.. handled," he gritted out, biting back another wince.
"This- this is not handled boss!"
Dark spots blotted the face looming above him in and out of focus, nothing but Leader's choked breaths occupying the space between the pair. "Yeah.." he whispered, eyes threatening to fall closed.
"No, no. Come on Leader, eyes on me," Teammate encouraged, shaky voice accompanied by incessant tapping resuming on the side of Leader's face.
Sluggishly swiping at it only yielded his own hand caught in Teammate's, guided down toward his side.
"Just keep that there, okay?" They carefully laid his palm across the soaked material, drawing a shaky breath. "I'll get help just- just stay there."
Leader's glazed eyes followed Teammate as they scrambled to their feet.
"I'll be right back. Right back," they promised, giving their captain's limp form a final glance before sprinting out the door, rushed footsteps fading down the hallway.
