The Shadows of Fate

Agreement

There it is again....

These mixed feelings are here.

But now they're stronger

You can feel them can't you?

Did they get you out?

Did you get to meet theirs?

"Tetsuya, always remember your way back"

Grandma...

Grandma are you there? I'll go back I promise

Just be there, please.

I miss you.

Suddenly, he can hear everything, feel everything, his mind is no longer numb...it feels like it's in his head.

His eyes that kept seeing nothing, he could feel them now. He could feel his eyes closed, and now it feels easier to open them.

The light is blinding, it's too bright. The ceiling is gray, and he's lying on something so soft and comfortable.

He could feel a cool wind on his face, but his body felt warm and there's something light draped over him.

A bed, an air conditioner, a blanket

"Where..." He tries to find his voice, he tries to voice out, but he could feel his throat straining in need of something wet.

He coughs out, in hopes to produce a small sound and tries to swallow the saliva that's starting to form, to lessen the dryness of his throat.

He faintly heard the door shutting, did someone enter or did someone excited? He attempted to move his head in order to check but to his dismay, his head felt too heavy to move, even though he's lightheaded as of the moment.

He wanted to get up, but his body feels so weak in a way that it feels too light. Like he's nothing but boneless.

Tetsuya is confused, he doesn't know what's happening to him or his body. He doesn't even know where he is.

He closes his eyes, trying to remember an ounce of his memory before falling into a deep void. And the farthest he could remember is tripping on the street while he's on his way back to the inn.

He recalled hearing a voice and someone holding him before he completely fell. He couldn't make out what the person looked like however, but he could tell it was a man who caught him.

Is he in the house of that person? Is he kidnapped? But he's not tied or anything, is the person taking care of him?

He tried sitting up, using his elbows to prop himself before he was abruptly stopped by a voice.

"A–ah...you shouldn't get up so suddenly...!"

A familiar one at that.

Tetsuya crooked his head and met eyes with familiar yellow ones.

"Uhm let me help you get up....?" The male said, unsure of his own offer. "Or should I call in our healer...?"

Still dazed from his sudden wake, Tetsuya just shook his head, "Please" He croaked, "Just help...?" He tried his best to speak.

Tetsuya didn't notice the way the blonde jerks up, "Right..." Ryouta fumbles, rushing towards the light-haired man, reluctantly holding Tetsuya's elbow and his back. His hold was so loose, unfamiliar.

Honestly, curse Daiki for putting him in this situation.

He was just in the kitchen, helping with the dishes and when he was done, he decided to check up on the storm witch (to ensure that he didn't do anything to the sleeping man), but when he attempted to peek inside the room, the door opened wide, which almost made Ryouta trip.
