[A week since Blue died had passed. The last thing he expected was to find himself one day fall out from his bed onto the floor. He cries out in surprise, not expecting the impact against the floor

[One or two weeks pass, and an overnight storm washes something up on the beach closes to Red's house on the island. Passerby who look closer will notice it's a body. Specifically, a body wrapped pretty tightly in a large black cloak, heavy with seawater.

Red is lying half in the tide. He isn't breathing, too much seawater in his lungs, but his pulse is steady. He's been set back quite a ways in his healthful meals, once again starved to the bone, too.]

[It was hard trying to keep focus with Red gone. It was his fault, he couldn't ignore the guilt. He shut himself away from others on the island and did nothing but training. He could barely sleep and ended up throwing up whatever he tried to make himself eat.

Basically he felt just as crappy as he did physically as he did mentally. He was on his way back from training when taking note of a body. He doesn't connect it with Red right away as he approaches closer. The moment he get's a closer look however his eyes widens.]

...Red...?

O U

[exileforfreedom]

[Is there any denying he's your Red, Blue? He's the right age, even has the cloak. Hopefully you know your CPR, he could use some right about now.]

[reachforfreedom]

[He'll take a moment to check to see if Red was breathing and then his pulse. He's alive he's alive but how? How was he alive? He takes a moment to flip Red onto his back before proceeding to give him CPR. He didn't want to lose him a second time. He had to make sure he was alright.]

[It won't be long before Red starts coughing up the water in his lungs. He's definitely alive, trying to blink his vision back to working properly. Who what where when why how--]

... B... B--[Cough]--Blue...?

[reachforfreedom]

[Blue manages a smile despite how forced it looks.]

...yeah. Just relax, Red...and I'll get you back home.

[exileforfreedom]

... Wh... What hap...pened...? [He can't really do anything but relax, he's so low-energy. The last thing he remembers is a sharp pain in his chest and his vision going dark... His lungs are burning from the water, so he's worried whatever was wrong with him enough to knock him out is still there, but... No, this feels different. That was like pressure, this is like... An ache.]

[reachforfreedom]

You...

[He mumbles the rest of his words as he starts to pull Red closer to himself. It's a good thing you're already wet, Red. Or you just might notice Blue's own tears dripping on you.]

[exileforfreedom]

[Red can't make out what you're saying, but he does note that you're crying. He'll have to ask later, when his lungs feel more up to talking. For now, there's more coughing, raspy from the water.]

[reachforfreedom]

[It takes him a few minutes to think to pry himself away from Red.]

...do you think you can walk, Red? Just nod or shake your head.

[exileforfreedom]

[He nods. He thinks he should be able to, if you help him.]

[reachforfreedom]

[Seeing Red nod, Blue will reach over to place Red's arm over his shoulders.]

...just lean on me. We'll go slow, got it?

[His smile is strained and if Red looks hard enough he can tell Blue has become thinner than last time he's seen him. He even had bag under his eyes, worse than the ones he's had previously.]

[exileforfreedom]

... [Red nods. He's so tired... He just wants to know what happened to him. He's so lightheaded...]
