[and when you wake up, everything is gonna be fine]
Characters: Watanuki and anyone on the Way who wants to visit!
Content: So he's been out with a stab wound since before the race, and, uh, this is when he wakes up long enough to hold a conversation. COME KICK HIM INTO HAVING SELF-WORTH. :D
Setting: The infirmary
Time: After the race, before the EPIC STORM
Warnings: AAAAAAAAANGST. Lots of pretending to be okay. Evasive answers. Low self-worth.
Waking up came as a great surprise to Watanuki.
He'd come near to death before, working for the witch, but he'd never been close enough to taste it before. He'd never had just a ghost between him and the other side. The unconsciousness had been so final, so close to oblivion; what could possibly have pulled him back from that?.
Then he remembered - that... hallucination. Vision. With Ichigo holding out his hand and that sudden feeling of rising... he supposed that that must have been what stopped him dying. What it signified, he had no idea - did it mean that Ichigo had had some hand in saving him? Was Ichigo all right? Had he lived through that fight? He could be dead at that moment and Watanuki knew nothing except that he was alive and that his chest hurt!
He hauled himself carefully into a sitting position and pulled back the covers to examine the wound. He saw that it was neatly bandaged, but he knew he wouldn't be going anywhere. There was nothing to do but sit and wait for someone to come and check on him before he would get any answers.
