First Aid

"Good morning, Hiwatari-kun!" Risa Harada greeted her friend happily. The blue-eyed male just nodded and sat down in his seat. Risa found herself scowling. Something was wrong. She could just tell by the way he had practically collapsed into his seat. "Hiwatari-kun... are you alright?"

Satoshi Hiwatari inhaled deeply and shook his head. She immediately panicked.

"Why? What happened?" She lowered her voice. "Did Krad come out? Were you out all night trying to catch criminals?" She gasped. "Did you get shot?"

Satoshi gave her a look that made her feel more than stupid. "No, I did not get shot." He sighed. "I just... tripped and fell down the stairs before I came to school today."

"You what?"

"It's nothing, Harada-san," he tried to calm her down. "I'm fine. Just a little light headed."

"Did you break anything? Did you hurt anything? Did you hit your head? Oh my God, Satoshi, are you sure you're alright?" He glanced at his friend.

She hasn't realized that she called me by my first name, He thought. But Satoshi merely shook his head. "I did not break anything. I hurt my left ankle. I did not hit my head because my arm blocked it. And, yes, I'm fine. I told you, I'm just a little light-headed." When he heard a ruffling sound just as the bell rang, and the students came piling in, he turned his head. "What are-?"

"You need support," Risa told him, holding an ace bandage in one hand. "Take off your shoe and give me your ankle."

Although it was highly unlike him, Satoshi accepted the help and put his left ankle on top of his desk. Risa stood and quickly worked on it. She was done by the time Sensei had come into the classroom. As the class started, and Risa began taking notes, Satoshi found himself staring at her.

"Thank you," he whispered when the teacher wasn't looking.

Risa wasn't startled. She smiled and winked at him. "Anytime."


A/N: I actually fell down the stairs on the fourth of July, and I experienced what Satoshi had. Not a pretty young face fixing me up, because it was SUMMER. But still.
