Prompt: Drugged

Rating: PG
Warnings: Drugging, kidnapping
Summary: They were kidnapped for ransom.
AN: (So the prompt... sorta worked?) The drug, mentioned briefly, is forane, and it's apparently used by doctors. I was also told, by the internet, that it works like the chlorofoam rag. (I also gave up on the title, so yes, it's from "Cough Syrup" by Young the Giants.)
Ayame’s head ached. She blinked twice, trying to clear her head so she could escape.
She couldn’t concentrate on anything, but she felt like she needed to remember something. She couldn’t remember how she got into this dark room.
There was shifting next to her and she wanted to turn to look, but just the slightest shift made her nauseous. She closed her eyes and breathed slowly and deeply, hoping to bypass the nausea.
After a few moments, she managed to regain some control over her body, and she stared ahead at the door that was so close yet so far. She could feel her bindings digging into her skin-it felt like rope-and she realized she was kidnapped.
If she had to hazard a guess, the person next to her was her cousin, Keigo Atobe. He wasn’t speaking-or bragging-so she had nothing to base that assumption on other than it made sense if they wanted ransom.
She hoped-against all odds-that she could keep herself from vomiting all over the ground. She wouldn’t degrade herself even more by losing control of her stomach while in the grips of her (their) kidnappers.
Ayame heard rustling, as if the other person was trying to wriggle free from their bonds, but she thought it was futile.
“Keigo,” she whispered, hoping that their captors weren’t near enough to hear them.
“Yes,” he asked calmly.
Ayame could still hear the frustration, the anger that they were captured, but she didn’t comment on it. There was no reason to get into an argument. Not when it would take both of them to get out of this sticky situation.
“We need to get out.”
She could hear his sarcasm dripping from his voice. “Really?”
“Yes, really.”
She didn’t say anything-didn’t mention that they were stuck with no way out-but she appreciated his calmness and assuredness. (Even if she thought it was a bit ridiculous.)
They couldn’t wriggle out of the rope, but maybe, maybe, they could help each other out. If they could even reach each other.
But before they could do anything-come up with a way to escape without dying-something happened to disrupt their planning.
There’s a sound in the distance, a shout, a bang, and then the police surged in. She wondered who told them where they could be-she didn’t think anyone saw them get kidnapped. (Ayame couldn’t even remember who had come up to them and grabbed them.)
It was a haze of being transported to the police station-freed but not-and vomiting into the toilet once they were free to leave. (She felt better after emptying her stomach, but she felt like she was missing something.)
Ayame was taken to the hospital after, drug test administered. She wasn’t too hopeful that they would find the drug in her system-and it was proven when she was asked about how she felt and what she did when she woke up.
She barely remembered-the nausea, the heavy head, the haziness of everything-and they wrote it down.
Ayame didn’t like answering these questions. She just wanted to sleep off the sedative (furone or something similar to that; Ayame wasn’t listening to the doctor), but her parents were keeping her up. Keigo was going through something similar-Ayame was sure.
