A/N Ok and on to the real story!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Haru sighed. That was all Makoto had been saying for the past half hour. He loved his boyfriend, he loved both of them, but Makoto had a habit of over apologizing, which was ironic given that Rin was the opposite. Sure this time it was sort of his fault but Haru didn't hold him at fault at all. "Really Makoto I'm fine."
"No you're not!" the green eyed gentle giant whined, "You're wrist is sprained and you cheek is bruised and it's my fault! I shouldn't have startled you!"
Haru stared at him until he stopped, "Did you mean it?" he asked bluntly.
"What?! Haru of course not!" Makoto exclaimed; sounding slightly panicked at the very suggestion.
"Then it was an accident and there's no reason for you to apologize." Haru concluded as though it was obvious. Makoto opened his mouth to argue but Haru's logic was pretty solid. Still he felt guilty and that guilt must have shown in his eyes as Haru reached out with his uninjured hand to give Makoto's hand a small squeeze. His silent way of telling him that he didn't blame him.
The nurse, who had until this point remained silent with a small smile on her face as she bandaged Haru wrist, stood back, "Alright Mr Nanase, all taken care of! Just try not to strain it too much over the next few weeks and it should heal perfectly."
He nodded, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, you're actually lucky we aren't too busy today so you didn't have to wait too long." She said casually as she cleaned up the equipment with practiced ease.
Makoto nodded, easily slipping into the conversation as Haru fell quiet. "Yeah, I hope it will stay that way too." He was genuine as he told her that, as a fire fighter he had seen enough people get hurt but he could only imagine how many the nurses would have seen.
She sighed, "As do I but the peace never lasts too long."
As though it had been waited for her to say the words, the nearby emergency doors burst open. Urgent yells for assistance echoed through the halls and had the nurse rushing out, of the room, throwing an apologetic look over her shoulder at the two.
"We should probably leave in case they need the bed." Haru said as he gathered his things and started towards the door. Makoto nodded and followed. The two had parked near the emergency entrance, Makoto's mother hen instincts having been in overdrive when they arrived.
The two had been about to go out, Rin had been working a hard case lately so he wasn't with them, leaving the other two to spend some quality time together. Haru had been heading down the stairs when Makoto had asked him something. Apparently Haru had been deep in thought because Makoto's voice had startled him. In that moment Haru's foot had missed the next step and he fell. He only fell down a few steps but Makoto had panicked, sweeping him up into his arms and practically running to his car.
In his hurry to get Haru help he had pulled up near the emergency entrance, parking close by and carrying him inside, much to Haru annoyance.
As the two were leaving the doors were thrown open. Quickly clearing the way for the paramedics, Haru glanced curiously at the gurney. It was hard to see who was on it. There were four paramedics crowding around it and two doctors who had joined them when the ambulance arrived. One of the paramedics was straddling the patient and administering chest compressions. Haru was about to look away but a deep sense of dread had started to form in the pit of his stomach.
"Makoto wait…" Haru's voice was quiet as he grabbed hold of Makoto's sleeve. The taller stopped and looked back at him in concern, worried he'd been hurt somehow. Following blue eyes to the gurney Makoto was confused for a minute.
Looking between the doctors and people as best he could, Makoto was able to make out a uniform. It was torn and dirty but it was clearly a police uniform. "Haru… is that…?"
As the gurney passed them Makoto gasped.
Haru froze as he saw the patient clearly.
He may have been covered in blood and paler than he'd ever seen him, but they would recognise him anywhere.
"Rin…"
