Risk It All (Chishiya X You)

(un)mended

You managed to drag him into the house enough to lay him flat on the floor and close the door behind you before starting on the stitches.
Chishiya hissed as the needle pierced his skin, you'd cleaned the wound as best as you could following his instructions word for word but honestly, this was the part you were dreading.

"I'm so sorry." You babbled out as you threaded the needle through again.

The wound was deep but luckily it didn't hit any organs, regardless of how many needles you had you were entirely sure you wouldn't be able to fix that without at least basic medical knowledge.

It took a few more stitches before he deemed it enough, you tried to keep your hands as still as possible as you wrapped the dressing around the wound, his face pale and sweaty as he struggled to keep his eyes open. "T-Thankyou."

"Don't try to talk right now." You shushed him. "Save your energy."

"You wouldn't -" Chishiya coughs. "-know what to do if I didn't talk you through it."

"Is there anything else I need to do?" You asked as you secured the last strip of tape around the bandage.

He shook his head as best he could. "I need rest and fluids, I need to get to the bed."

"I think I can help, just tell me how." You shove the spare tape and bandages aside as he tries to sit up.

"I'll need you to support my wounded side, I can't put pressure on it." He explains.

You quickly jump into action, wrapping his arm around your neck and helping him stand. Despite his wound, he doesn't put his entire weight on you.

"Relax against me." You mumble, as you take small shuffled steps towards the bedroom.

Chishiya snorts. "Yeah and then when you fall to the floor who will help me?"

"Shut up." You huff, turning your body around to sit him on the bed. "Can you lay down okay?"

"Yeah, I just need to sleep." He gives a weak smile but you tap his arm.

"You can't sleep until you eat. It may be cold but I can reheat it. I made dinner before all..." you wave your hands around his wound. "This."

He rolls his eyes, turning to face the wall, you almost thought he had dismissed you before he looked at you again. "Okay, I'll stay away. Don't take too long."

You didn't respond, instead, you made your way to the kitchen, flicking on the small portable stove and reheating the earlier prepared food, it wouldn't taste as good, not that it would have tasted great anyway considering what kind of food it was but it was at least something to keep you both full.

Something to keep you both alive.

You tried not to think about things like food, heat, electricity and water because then you would have to consider the possibility that one day, if you didn't make it out of these games, and you didn't die, you'd run out of the necessities.

Not run out in a way where you had to do another short, albeit dangerous, stock up but run out in a way where there was no more to be found.

You sighed, brushing away the heavy thoughts as you placed the food back on the plates. You juggled both plates back to the bedroom and sure enough, Chishiya was asleep.

You nudged him a little, slowly and gently, of course, to rouse him. Though you didn't have to try too hard as once he smelt the food he was instantly twisting his body around to take the bowl from you. "Thanks."

"How do you feel?" You asked, taking a mouthful of your food.

He finished chewing before speaking. "In pain."
"What happened?" You asked around your spoon.
