Warning: Language! (le gasp!)

Second Slice: Crawling

--

Hard breathing, you could hardly blame me.

An inhale, an exhale. Then the viscous cycle of respiration repeats.

But dammit! My circulation still wasn't going fast enough.

My legs were cramping, burning from the exertion.

"Run, run, run, run. Pick up your fucking feet!"

A hard surface, and suddenly, everything was okay.

"It's too hot for idiots to run around." Stated the even voice and I breathed a sigh of relief into the person's chest.

"Shut up, stupid Doumeki," I grumbled, pushing myself off of the firm chest. I was still panting, and my legs were cramping up even more than before.

"You okay?" He asked, obviously concerned over my lack of yelling, the fact that I wasn't bombarding him with unnecessary adjectives to describe my utter loathing for him.

I was leaning against my knees, still trying to catch my breath. I glanced up at him through sweat-slicked bangs.

He was wearing a plain shirt, plaid knee shorts. The clothing of summer, light and airy.

A sharp pain shot through my left arm and I reflexively grabbed it, hissing through my teeth.

"Hey, you okay?" I heard Doumeki ask again, but I couln'td reply, I needed my breath, I couldn't be bothered.

It felt like something was slowly making it's way through my veins, but it was too big to fit into the space, stretching the smooth muscle that surrounded the blood vessels as it crawled up my arm.

My back hit a wall and I slid down it, still staring at my arm. The pain was unrelenting, shot after shot of overly zealous stimulation to my nerves.

I was sweating again, hot trails streaming off my chin. My vision was getting cloudy, it was hard to see. My brain slowly shut down, and I could hear some sort of vibration around me, drumming itself into my ears.

It was Doumeki.

And then I couldn't see anymore.
