"Tsukasa, Tsukasa!"
Akito gasped, grabbing Tsukasa's wrist and pulling him closer as the blond screamed, his amber eyes wide and filled with pain and fear as his hands flying towards his head.
"Tsukasa, Tsukasa, calm down, it's okay, just breathe-!"
The ginger pressed Tsukasa's face against his chest, rubbing his back just as the knight himself had done some times ago. Mizuki winced at his ragged gasps and wails, their eyes darting around warily.
Her eyes rested on Tsukasa's skin. Black, swelling veins pulsed throughout his body, reaching from his arms, to his neck, and even on his face. It was a phenomenon that had been happening for a while now, and even so, nobody had managed to find a cure.
Lately, it had been growing stronger. It was Tsukasa's own decision to gather them and Akito, humbly asking to aid him in searching for any possible cure.
That was months ago.
They were still out, exploring different lands and terrains and even asking around several kingdoms about any idea of what this.. curse could even be. So far, they had found nothing.
And they were running out of time.
Tsukasa's.. outbursts, they liked to call it, had been growing stronger and more frequent lately. Akito was the one who discovered the current method of calming Tsukasa down whenever it happened as an attempt to push it back, push it away.
It wasn't working anymore.
Still, he tried. He was still running his hand through Tsukasa's hair, gently trying to reassure him as Tsukasa grit his teeth and screamed in pain.
"Tsukasa, Tsukasa, just take deep breaths," Akito hissed, "Calm down, okay? Calm down, it's okay, it's okay.."
Tsukasa whined, biting his lip as he squeezed his eyes shut from the pain he felt. It was as if thousands of daggers were digging into his skin, twisting around and piercing his flesh. His lungs were in fire, burning, there was something stuck inside his throat, he couldn't breathe.
He was trying to breathe. He was trying, but he couldn't, it was like his chest was compressed, squeezing, tight-
And then, it died down.
He felt like he could breathe again. He felt like he could-
..No, that was a lie.
His chest still felt tight. All that subsided was the unbearable pain that shot throughout his body. Tsukasa gripped onto Akito's sleeve as his legs went limp from underneath, dragging both of them to the ground.
"Tsukasa-!" Mizuki knelt down. "Are you okay? How do you feel?!"
"Mghhh.."
Tsukasa grumbled, his eyes still squeezed shut. His body felt weak. He couldn't.. move.
His mind felt fuzzy.
"Tsukasa,"
Mizuki put a hand on his shoulder. "How do you feel?"
