14 | Passed Out

When it's written like this it's a flashback

The two men searched the lab together. Komaeda took slow, small steps and kept sneezing.

"If you need to take a break-"

"No, I'm fine, thank you,"

"You can hold onto me if you need support,"

Komaeda leaned against the brunet, who put an arm around him. "That wall looks like the one Kamukura-kun was living behind,"

Hinata got out his crowbar again and pressed it through the small space between the floor and the bottom of the hidden gate. He pushed down onto the crowbar, opening the door.

"Jackpot."

"Let's search this place," Komaeda said, slowly walking towards it.

Once they were both in the room, the pale man sat down on a chair and looked around. "This equipment looks older than the one in Kamukura-kun's room, but I think it has the same purpose." He opened a drawer. "Here, look. A VHS tape,"

"VHS? Who uses that stuff anymore?" Hinata asked, grabbing it. "Whatever, it's ours now. I'll take a look at it,"

"This has to be Shinguuji's lab," Komaeda said.

"I'll bring this up to the detective,"

"..."

"Komaeda?"

"Huh? What?"

"I said I'm gonna bring this up to the detective,"

"Mhm. Okay. I think I fell asleep for a moment,"

Hinata sighed. "I'm gonna bring you home now."

"What? No!"

"Come on, you're obviously not well. You need rest." He grabbed his hand.

"No! Let go of me, you- you're so controlling!" Komaeda scolded.

"I'm just worried about you!"

"You're not! Let go of me!"

The brunet let go. "You need to go home, any doctor would agree with me,"

"I don't care, I don't like doctors anyway..." he got up.

"Look, I'm sorry for grabbing you like that, but I'm just worried about you,"

"I feel fine though! I told you, I..." he stumbled a bit, grabbing the doorframe. "I'm fine,"

Hinata sighed. "Your legs are shaking,"

"They're not, I'm fine!"

The brunet slowly approached him. "Hold onto me if you want,"

Sweat rolled down Komaeda's face. "Uhm... catch me,"

"Huh?"

He fell forward, landing in Hinata's arms. "Shit!" The commissioner said, grabbing his phone to call an ambulance.

-

Komaeda woke up in a hospital. He hugged himself, looking around.

It smelled like hand sanitizer and nurses and doctors were rushing through the hallway last his open door.

He sat up quickly, heart beating fast.

"Welcome back, Komaeda-san," A doctor said, walking into the room. "How are you feeling?" She asked.

Komaeda looked around.

Syringes were stabbed into his thin, weak arms.

He backed away from the doctor.

"Is everything okay?" She asked.

He hugged his dog plushy as the adults were discussing if he was going to make it or not.

"You don't have to be scared,"

He took a deep breath and smiled at her. "I feel fine," he said. "Is Hinata-kun still here?"

"I'm sorry, officer Hinata left a while ago. We checked for any injuries and asked him about the symptoms you showed. It seems as though you simply have a cold and overworked yourself. You are free to leave now,"

The pale man quickly stood up. "Alright! Thank you for the help! Have a good night!" He left the room.
