Amir was running, using the rest of his energy to boost himself, adrenaline was flowing through his body, kept him moving forward, he entered an alleyway, going to the furthest corner and letting himself slow fall on the floor, keeping his back against the wall, Amir searched for his radio between his gear, grabbing it and getting in contact with any of the hex.
“Sos… Amir here, I need help…” Amir took a deep breath, adrenaline was starting to get low, all he could feel through his body was pain, he took looked at his radio, seemed like someone was talking, he couldn’t hear much “alleyway… a kilometer far from objective…i think” his voice was getting low, all he could do was mumble anything that came to mind into the radio, Amir closed his eyes, in a struggle to keep his eyes open, resting his hand on his own lap, Amir simply mumbled to himself.
He stayed there for a while, he couldn’t tell how long had passed, after a while he felt someone holding him, and felt his body being pulled up, he could hear voices around him, he finally let himself rest, falling into unconsciousness.
Arthur was the one who found Amir, he tried to stay calm, but Amir not responding to him was not helping, trying to keep calm and rational, he radio the other hex, warning them of the situations, while he improvised an away to bring Amir back to the mall, being as careful as he could, but still fast, he bought Amir back, as soon as he arrived there he could see Lettie and Aoi, quickly he got of the atomicycle and carried Amir to where Lettie indicated to.
Not long after Quincy arrived, he was panting, and he went to the closest person he could find, that one being Arthur.
“Where is he? How is he doing?” Quincy looked stressed, worried, his eyes were searching the mall.
“He is fine now, please calm down, you know Lettie won't let you see him now, he need rest” Arthur said while staying on Quincy’s path, wanting the other to calm down, the other only swore under his breath, taking a deep breath and walking away from Arthur
“He really does love jitter, huh?” Aoi said while walking closer to Arthur, looking to where Quincy went to probably try to calm down.
“Yes… I'm glad they have each other, sure it is an unusual match, but they seem happy” Aoi hummed in agreement to him, staying on his side for only some more seconds, before leaving to do her own thing, so did Arthur.
Quincy was worried about Amir, he wanted to see the other man, he wanted to make sure the other was fine with his own eyes, he felt frustrated that he wasn't there to help Amir, he was glad Arthur was able to find him, but that wasn't stopping him from feeling frustrated with himself.
Some hours have passed, it was dark, that is what amir could tell, the other is that his body was painful, his throat felt dry, he opened his eyes, slowly looking around, he could tell he was at the furniture store, in one of the beds there, he took a deep breath, trying his best to sit up, his arm hurt trying to support his weight, but he was able to lift his body, he took the opportunity to have a better look around, confirming he was alone, to his side he noticed there was a small bottle of water, he smiled, reaching for the bottle and grabbing it, humming to himself while opening the bottle, drinking the water.
He heard steps, looking to the direction of the steps he saw Lettie there, he waved slightly at her as she got closer.
“You should be resting niño, you hit a wall, lucky your bones are intact” she got closer, checking on his bandages, making sure it was all in place “feeling any pain?” she looked at him, watching as he put his bottle away.
“All body, i feel miserableee” he whined, slumping forward slightly, not letting himself fall so it wouldn’t make his own pain worse.
“Expected, well, all i can really recommend is that you rest more, there’s some painkillers that you can take, they should be on the side table” she steps back, giving him some space.
“Thanks Lettie… may i ask, where is Quincy?” Amir asked, while reaching for the painkillers, taking one.
“Niño has been moping around, blames himself for not benign there to help you”
“Can I see him?” Lettie looked at him, up and down, with an eyebrow raised “i will rest more i promise! I just want to see him”
Lettie signed, shaking her head while heading out “you boys and young love, I will tell him he can visit you” all she could hear when leaving was Amir proclaiming that he wasn’t that young.
Amir sat there, staring at the entrance, he leaned back in the bed, playing with the water bottle in his hand, reflecting a bit of what Lettie said “it is not his fault, i was the one who was careless” he picked up the bottle cap, and stayed playing with it, while looking at the entrance waiting for Quincy to appear.
Not long after Quincy appeared, he seemed to relax as soon as he saw Amir, he got closer to Amir, sitting beside him “how have you been, Amir?” Quincy carefully grabbed his hand, interlacing their fingers together.
Amir smiled, leaning on Quincy “just some pain, Lettie gave me some meds, but right now I'm fine! Happy that you are here, really missed you”
Quincy smiled, leaning his head against Amir’s head “glad y’ fine, worried me lot there, sorry for not being there to help you…” he whispered the last part, but Amir did heard that, he squished Quincy’s hand slightly, who looked at him, Amir put a hand on his face, pulling him close for a small kiss, pulling away after, smiling at his partner.
“I don't want you blaming yourself for something that was my fault, i was careless” Amir put his head against his shoulder again, closing his eyes, getting himself comfortable there.
Quincy simply changed his position to make it more comfortable for the both of them, he put his arms around Amir, running his fingers through his hair.
When Quincy finally woke up, he felt a weight on top of him, opening his eyes he noticed that he had fallen asleep in the furniture area, he looked down, seeing Amir there, who looked completely relaxed, Quincy smiled, carefully putting his hand on Amir’s hair, not wanting to disturb his sleep, and carefully petted him, letting Amir use him as a pillow.
Quincy stayed there until Amir woke up, he was just staring at the ceiling while petting the other’s hair, when he felt Amir move, he looked down, seeing the other mumbling while waking up, he sat up, complaining about pain, Quincy was only watching the other, he sat up too, getting closer to Amir, nuzzling against his cheek, leaving a kiss right after.
“Good morning, how y’ slept?”
“A trunk run me over as soon as I opened my eyes, I slept good” Amir said, while rubbing his eyes, Quincy let out a laugh,he reached for the painkillers and water handing it to Amir, who replied with a little thanks while taking it from Quincy’s hand, taking the painkillers, letting himself lay down after
Quincy stayed with Amir most of the day, Lettie appeared to check on him, change any bandages and checking if he had any pain still, Quincy brought him one of Amir’s gaming devices and more water for him, letting Amir talk about any game there he was playing, Quincy only listening, commenting sometimes too, but letting most of the talk be to Amir.
It has been less than a week, everything mostly back to normal, Amir was still healing but wasn’t stuck in pain all the time, he wasn’t allowed in missions at the moment, so he stayed just on the mall, some of that time he was close to Quincy, playing any of his handheld games close to him or rarely shooting with the other, wasn’t a bad time, but sure was tedious not be allowed in missions.
