not here. 1/??

[couragemantra]

[ An SOS?! From Yosuke's communicator?!

Kurt is fishing for it immediately. ]

not here. 2/??

[couragemantra]

[ Oh well okay... he looks okay?! Panicked, but-

Oh wait what?!

Did he run some kid over?!

Yosuke, you idiot! He knew you shouldn't be driving that thing without a license!!! ]

not here. 3/??

[couragemantra]

[ To make things worse, he ran over John?!

And to make things mortifying he ran over John and thinks his name is Bagelhump? For real?

Oh my god how many different ways can you find to be an idiot, Yosuke? ]

video. 4/4

[couragemantra]

[ Kurt switches the video on, his face schooled into a worried, angry sort of expression at this point. ]

You idiot! Did you check his pulse? Is he really... did you really...?!

I told you to get a license!! This is why!

[Yosuke just blinked, utterly lost and confused for a few shell shocked moments, before--]

N-no, I--I mean, I didn't think to! I didn't want to touch him...

[couragemantra]

You're allowed to touch him, it's just not good to move him! Go and do it. Right now. Why are you even talking to me staring at me like you're brain dead, I know you're not. Check John's pulse, for the love of god!

[ Yes, he gets condescending when he's stressed. ]

[lets_go_partner]

[That's probably fair, all things considered.]

I--fine, I'm doing it!! [Yosuke takes your condescension and raises it a flurried trill of nerves.] He's...[A beat.] oh.

video.

[couragemantra]

Oh? Yosuke, what does "oh" mean?

[ It's so hard to tell. He wishes he was there... ]

video.

[lets_go_partner]

He's okay. [Yosuke finally managed, voice light and airy with slumped over shock. It didn't last long, and Yosuke's panicked babble started anew after only a few beats of silence.] I-I mean, he's not okay, he's knocked out, but he's not dead!! Shit, Kurt, I thought he was dead, I thought I had killed him, shit--!

video.

[couragemantra]

[ Kurt first lets out an absolutely relieved sigh, placing a hand over his heart trying to will its beat to calm down again. ]

Good. You should thank your lucky stars he's not, vehicular manslaughter is a serious thing! Just keep him safe until help arrives, okay?

video.

[lets_go_partner]

Y-yeah. [Yosuke nodded, still shaking. The shock of it all was beginning to wear off, physically. His legs barely worked as he went to stand.] I...I'll take care of it, Kurt, don't, like, don't worry. I'm gonna take him to the clinic.

video.

[couragemantra]

You're going to take him? I... I don't know if that's a good idea. You should wait for an ambulance...

[ Maybe. That's how it works on TV, at least. In real life, though, it's probably a little more stressful. What if John's only got a specific time window for his life to be saved or something? Crap... Kurt doesn't know. ]

Or. Maybe not. I don't know, whatever you think is best! Hurry. [ A pause. ] ...I can meet you there?

[Yosuke paused for a moment, only the huff of his breathing audible as he ran towards the clinic. Did he want Kurt to come? Well, that wasn't really the question. He knew he wanted Kurt to be there. It was more an issue of should he. Yosuke sighed, unsure of how to progress.

Then his mind wandered back to the ire of some of John's friends. It didn't have to be romantic. It was just...Kurt was still his friend, no matter what. Isn't that what they'd promised each other?]

Y-yeah. [He paused again.] Please.

video.

[couragemantra]

Okay. [ Kurt sighs. He's up and on his way already. ] Take care on your way, all right? Look both ways before crossing the street!

[ With that sage wisdom, he turns off the feed. ]
