Untold Secrets [SakuAtsu]

Disclosure

6:34 PM February 1 Higashiakiru Village 

"Hey! Don't slack off! We need to find a place where we can stay the night!" Atsumu shouted, who's already twenty meters away from Sakusa.

Sakusa was down on his knees, panting heavily and his heart beating erratically. Atsumu was starting to get annoyed because if Sakusa was running all his might, they have already arrived somewhere they can stay in. 

"It's almost seven in the evening get up!" Atsumu helped him up and Sakusa tried to stand, but his legs felt like rubber.

Sakusa lay on his chest with his face in the grass, breathing heavily and noisily.  He felt weak on his legs, struggling to control his breathing so he won't pass out. Atsumu suddenly felt worried  that something was wrong with him as he was sweating a lot and he was breathing heavily. 

"Sakusa, are you alright?" Atsumu held his arms to help him sit up but he felt something unusual. He hurriedly placed his palm on Sakusa's forehead but was brushed off by him. He tried to stand up again but the pain was excruciating.

"Let me carry you." Atsumu said, one knee on the ground and his arms around his back to support Sakusa.

"There's... no way.... I... will... accept... your offer." Sakusa breathed.

"Don't be stubborn. There's no way you can take another step on that place. You have a high fever and you can't even stand properly." Atsumu went closer beside Sakusa and forcibly pulled him on his back to carry him. 

"Hang on tight. We need to look for a pla------" Atsumu felt something wet flowing on his face, not sure what was it so he held out his free hand and suddenly the rain started pouring.

"What the fuck's with this timing?!!" Atsumu walked as fast but carefully as he can to look for a shelter but they were still far from the village. The rain became a downpour, soaking the dense forest where the ground that is now muddy made Atsumu to struggle more as he supports Sakusa on his back. 

"Sakusa, bear with the cold for a minute." Atsumu used his flashlight on his phone and roamed his eyes around to look for a place that they can use as a shelter but still no luck to find one. 

"Turn left." Sakusa murmured.

"What?" Atsumu asked, confused of what Sakusa is saying.

"There's... a hut... that is... one hundred... meters... from here." 

Without thinking, Atsumu run as fast as he can to look for the hut Sakusa was pertaining to. He just wants to find any roof under them to escape the rain and the cold wind rubbing on their skin, as it was still winter season. 

"Look... on.... your... left." Sakusa mumbled.

He was right. A hut was there, made out of wood as the wall, and straw and palm branches as the roof. Atsumu hurriedly went inside and gently placed Sakusa on the wood bed. He was soaking wet and he was shivering like a leaf, hugging his self to lessen the cold he was feeling. 

Atsumu walked around the hut and luckily dried woods and some newspapers were left. He used a thick wood to dig a hole on the ground and surrounded it with stones as the base. He placed the newspaper at the center of the hole in a teepee shape and placed the dried sticks/woods around it, leaving some gaps for oxygen to escape. He then walked towards Sakusa and asked,

"Sakusa, you have a lighter with you?"

"In here." Sakusa said raising his coat and pointed out his inside pocket. 

"Hope this will work without the fuel." Atsumu lighted up the newspaper and added some of it over and over until a fire lit up the woods.

Atsumu glanced back at Sakusa who's drenched to the skin and rivulets of water ran down his shivering body. He stood up and removed his coat, placing it beside him.
