“I’m oka— ngh…!” Not even to mutter words of reassurance wasn’t doing any good anymore. How things turned out this way was beyond him, but what he intended not to happen the most has finally taken its turn.. and for the worst….? Sousuke tried his very best to get a grip of his body, to shake off the sudden numbness on his biceps, and the burning sensation that made his shoulder burn to an extent, but it was just too much to take in that even his own body wouldn’t cooperate lifting a finger anymore.
“I-I… can’t… Gou… call…Rin…!” As much as he hated it, there was only one person who can truly handle what was laid out for the siblings now… to watch Sousuke fight over this injury he’s hidden for so long, and to what cost? This. This agonizing pain. The pain that grab hold of his body, that almost bounded him into chains if it weren’t for realizing what it meant to be in a team, to swim with Rin, to swim……..
Before he knew it, everything was spinning, his sweat cold, body trembling from the excessive pain. At this rate, he wasn’t sure if he can even lift himself on his feet…
Almost right after he said for her to call her brother, Gou was regretting not keeping her purse on her shoulder or closer to her hand, because between supporting his weight and keeping them both upright, there was no chance of her grabbing ahold of her purse and getting to the cell phone inside it.
Crap.
Her knees bent slightly as Sousuke continued to be unsteady on his feet, and the only thing she could think of to do to get ahold of her brother was locate Sousuke’s phone. Patting his jacket pockets came up with nothing, but pushing her hand inside each pants pocket one at a time had her hand clasping around the cased device and pushing it open to hastily punch in her brother’s cell number (with a mistake or two because her own mind was racing at this point).
But twenty seconds later, her brother wasn’t picking up his phone; why he wasn’t Gou didn’t know, but all she could do was make a frustrated noise at the phone as if it were Rin himself and she shoved Sousuke’s phone into her own jacket pocket.
“Sousuke-kun, he’s not answering… his phone…” She had to try and push him up to walk, the only other choice would be to leave him there and go find where the nurses’ office was, but she didn’t have a clue where it was, Sousuke did. Her slight stature compared to his was doing them no good, but she had to sling his good arm over her shoulder and try to get them walking.
