Kuroo has POTs in this. If someone who has this condition sees something wrong, please point it out.
Tsukishima sighed, shifting Kuroo's bag. "Kuroo, Taiki is alerting. We need to find somewhere for you to lay down."
"No, I'm fine. It'll be a few minutes."
"You're stupid," Tsukishima grumbled. He grabbed Kuroo's free hand and saw the dog Kuroo was leading gently bite and nip at Kuroo, becoming more urgent. "Lay down."
"Babe-" Kuroo swayed for a moment, taking several deep breaths. "Oh. Yep. Down."
Taiki barked at him and nudged his legs.
"Thanks." Kuroo laid down on the carpet of the mall he was walking in.
Tsukishima put his pressure cuff on his wrist and tested his pressure. High. He then got his heart rate from something else in the bag.
"What's uh…" Kuroo huffed, eyes closing for a moment. "What's the number thing?"
"160 and 122."
"Shit." Kuroo put his hand to the side. "Check."
Taiki nipped his hand gently.
"Yeah, that's bad." Kuroo opened his eyes. "Good check Taiki. Good boy." He pat the carpet on his left side and Taiki laid across his midsection. "Good boy."
Tsukishima looked around and noticed a mother and her children talking and looking at Kuroo. Taiki was staring at them. Tsukishima stood.
"Babe… Wait… What're you…" Kuroo blew out slowly. "Do I have water in there?"
"Mhmm." Tsukishima got it out and set it within reach.
"Thanks."
Tsukishima headed over to the woman and her kids, nervous. "Hey, can you please stop? Kids are supposed to be taught not to pay attention to service dogs and my boyfriend is about to faint and if his dog doesn't alert both of us he could get hurt."
The woman apologized and Tsukishima went back. He bent down and checked Kuroo again. Things seemed a bit better now.
"How do you feel?"
"I think I can walk to the food court."
"That's not a great idea."
"That's why I said think." He moved his hand. "Taiki. Check."
The dog simply licked his hand a bit and put his head down again.
"Good boy."
Tsukishima helped him back up and Kuroo managed to stand up. He leaned on Tsukishima, trying to focus on just staying awake. They headed to the food court and Kuroo tried standing next to his boyfriend.
"You know… I like being out but not fainting. That shit is annoying."
Tsukishima stayed quiet. He waited a moment and spotted salt packets close by. "Do you want salt?"
"Don't I have a container?" Kuroo questioned around his straw.
"Uh…" Tsukishima checked the bag. "Oh yeah."
"Thanks, babe." Taiki started to alert again. Both sighed.
Tsukishima looked around for a safe place for him to lay down. As soon as he felt a weight off of his shoulders he panicked. He turned to see Kuroo sitting on the ground, eyes slightly unfocused while his breathing started getting deeper and faster again. Taiki was already working on him laying down.
"Shit, shit, shit no I don't…"
"Kuroo. Lay back." Tsukishima rubbed Taiki's head. "Good boy." Tsukishima got down quickly and laid Kuroo down just as he passed out. "Jesus Christ…"
People started to gather around, worried. "Should someone call an ambulance?"
"No, no he's fine. Can someone bring me a chair?"
Someone brought a chair over and Tsukishima lifted Kuroo's legs. He rubbed his hair and checked his heart rate again. Kuroo's lashes fluttered and he opened his eyes. "Mm…"
"Hey."
Kuroo stared at him. He closed his eyes again.
"You awake?"
Kuroo grunted at him and weakly attempted to pet Taiki. He mumbled to himself before trying to sit up. Then he noticed all the people around him. "Um."
He got flooded with questions and Tsukishima glanced at the heart monitor. "Hey stop, he's going to faint again. Please leave him alone."
Taiki alerted and Kuroo started to try and get him to check. That was before Tsukishima quickly made sure that his head didn't hit the tile as he fainted again.
Tsukishima held him still and made sure his legs wouldn't fall off the chair. "Back away. He doesn't need to be anxious when he wakes up."
People backed away and Tsukishima waited.
Kuroo opened his eyes after two and a half minutes. He didn't move from where he was, having to wait.
Tsukishima helped him sit up, supporting his head and back. "Where?"
"Food court. We're at the mall."
"I'm sorry…"
"It's fine. How are you feeling?"
"Woozy."
"Thought you would be. Do you want some fries? They have salt."
"You're a fry." Kuroo pinched his cheek before whining. "My butt hurts."
"Oh my God. Shut up." Tsukishima moved his legs down and gently held his face. "You look stupid."
"How charming."
Tsukishima rolled his eyes. He started to help him up. Someone hurried over and helped him, both supporting Kuroo's weight.
Kuroo swayed, holding both of them.
"Kuroo? Are you okay?"
"Mhmm. Just gimme a sec."
Kuroo was sat down and Tsukishima got him a large thing of fries and fried rice from a different place with a lot of soy sauce, which Kuroo grumbled at.
He needed the salt and his water though if he was going to make it out of the mall.
Tsukishima got him to their car eventually and Taiki was given a treat. Kuroo got to lay down after they got home and slept snuggled up with Taiki.
Tsukishima just sat next to him with his laptop, playing with Kuroo's hair. Kuroo was lulled to sleep by this, calmed. This was nicer than fainting in the mall.
