Walker extras

~Exhaustion~

//Yordan/#22's P.O.V//

//this is only my headcannon. None of this actually happens!//

As I run from the drones, my breath becomes shorter and shorter. My legs ache more and the sweat from my forehead drips down. I have been running for way too long. I then fall over from the horrible pain in my legs. I quickly get back up and run, dispite the excruciating pain in my legs. Once I manage to outrun the drones, I find the base entrance and light my torch. I walk the cold halls, finding it extremely hard not to just fall to the ground. My chest is tight and my hair is drenched in sweat. I manage to find the main entrance and I see #0 there, with his torch. I hold up the photo.

'Youre back earlier than I thought'
'I was... Being chased by drones...'
'makes sense. How long for?'
'About 30 minutes...I was running non stop'

I run my fingers through my wet and matted hair as he looks at me with a concerned look.

'havw you really been sweating that much? Your hair is drenched'
'yeah...you know how fast the drones are...'

I begin to cough as my chest tightens and it's becoming more difficult to breathe. #0 looks more worried about me now and I'm finding it hard to focus.

'#22, Are you alright?'
'I...I need to... Sit down...'

#0 sighs and walks infront of me, his arms open. I throw myself into them and he hugs me softly. His hug is warm and makes me feel safe. He's always been nice to everyone but I'm surprised he let me rest in his arms. I cough harshly again from the intense tightness in my chest. I can feel #0's hand on my back. As I'm coughing, he's pating my back softly. Once I stop coughing, I start to feel somewhat lightheaded and dizzy. My stomach is slightly painful from the constant running. I regretted eating on the way to collect the evidence from lily. I can feel myself going more limp and my focus is completely gone. It was then I hear #0 trying to talk to me. He whispers in a gentle and calm tone.

'#22? Are you alright? You don't look good'
'Im exhausted...im in pain... I... I think I just need to... Rest for a while...'
'Alright...You can probably rest while I get the vehicle ready. You might even be able to rest on the way to where the evidence is'
'Alright...'

He slightly loosens his grip on me and I grab onto him.

'don't...dont let go...'
'I can't hold you there forever'
'I... I can barely stand...'
'Alright... Just hold onto me whole I help you into the vehicle (idk what to call it)'

He helps me into the vehicle and I lean on the seat, nearly dozing off immidiatley. As I hear the sound of the engine starting, I slowly fall asleep, feeling extremely safe with #0 next to me.
