It’s gonna be alright! | Hayate | Prologue | OPEN
A groan escaped the bespectacled youth when he came around. His entire body was aching, as if he’d slept on a harsher surface than would be healthy. Given the coldness that crept upon his cheek, Hayate guessed that he’d somehow ended up on the ground, but... how? And why?
As his swimming mind was slowly starting to focus, Hayate attempted to open his eyes. Fortunately for him, the light around him wasn’t too bright, so it only took a few moments and blinks to actually make out what was around him. At least he could confirm with certainity now that he was lying on the floor - and it wasn’t a pretty one at that.
With a confused look on his face, Hayate placed one of his hands besides his head. Pushing against the cold, hard floor, his slightly numb, left arm was finally freed from the weight of his entire body and also left him on a sitting position. Whilst gently massasing his left arm, the redhead decided to get a proper look around-
However, it wouldn’t take long.
After all, when he registered that other people were in the same situation as him - some of them already up, some of them still lying -, his first instinct was to help out wherever he could. Anything else was secondary to the well-being of others, even though he didn’t know anyone here!
Therefore, he stood up - legs still feeling a bit wobbly, but pushing onwards it was! - and made his way to the nearest person. The redhead knelt down, placing a hand on their shoulder to gently shake them.
“Hey, are you okay? Can you hear me? Take it easy...!”
