Pain Call
Title: Pain Call
Fandom: Tiger&Bunny
Character: Kotetsu
Summary: Painkillers made for very bad night companions.
Warning: Angst
His hand twitches in his sleep, eyebrows furrowing.
Danger. He had to act-
Sweat collects on his forehead, rolling down in beads.
-save her. He couldn't save her. Not quick enough, never good enough. Run, run faster-
His teeth grit, jaw aching.
His shoulder ripped open, every nerves in his body flowing with pain, he had succeeded, he had protected him-
He's tensing up as seconds tick by, anguish building up, crushing the bubbling relief.
He should have been more careful. He knew she was there yet he hadn't kept an eye on her-
He's shivering, t-shirt and sheets soaked in sweat.
He had been on time.
He turns on his right side.
A split-second too late.
He winces, pain once again blossoming under his skin.
Blue and green flames filled his vision-
He clenches his eyelids shut as tight as he can.
He saw the metal roof fall in slow motion-
CRASH
His eyes fly open.
He's in his bedroom, in his bed.
It's late at night.
His head feels like it's filled with cotton.
His left foot brushes against the floor as he gets out of bed, wobbling.
It takes some time for him to notice he's walking on the broken vase he knocked out in his disturbed sleep.
His shoulder aches.
His head hurts.
His chest feels tight.
Kotetsu had never liked painkillers.
