The idea of this was kinda based on something I read a while ago and was just wandering about how different characters would react. The prompt was kinda- 'trapped in a collapse building' and I'm going to try and do a few on different characters. Enjoy.
Also, I will try and end with the title as the last line.
Suits- Mike and Harvey
Mike coughed harshly on the acrid smoke all around him, trying to see whether he could find Harvey anywhere nearby. It appeared that the darkness was too much to spot the other man. Mike pushed himself up onto his knees trying not to cry out as he jolted his ankle, and slowly crawled forward.
At first all he saw was the blood; and he didn't even realise the thing running down his face was in fact his tears.
As he moved closer he saw that in fact this did not look like Harvey. For one simple reason- Harvey wasn't wearing pink socks.
Then Mike realised, this was the man they were talking to earlier. He was killed in his own building, for the very reason they had been called in. It was unstable, and now here was the extent of it. Mike didn't even bother looking for a pulse as he moved away as far as he could in the cramped space.
Mike still had no idea where Harvey was; he knew he was somewhere close by, but there was no sign of life to show he was. So Mike pulled his legs to his chest and buried his face into his knees trying to pretend he was somewhere else...
"Pssst," someone hissed prodding Mike with an outstretched arm. Mike just turned to stare at Harvey who was trapped underneath the desk. He chuckled slightly and crawled over to tear at the wood, trying to get Harvey out of his little prison.
Harvey stared at him intently as soon as he was out and gazed at Mike's bleeding ankle. "Can you stand?" he asked moving to an almost upright position in the confined space.
Mike just stared up at Harvey and tried to stand, failing miserably and falling back down to the floor. "No, Harvey," Mike murmured looking at his foot. So Harvey just hooked an arm about Mike's waist and pulled him upright. "Harvey," Mike quietly stated looking across at the man supporting most of his weight.
"What?" he replied staring at the smaller man.
"I smell gas."
