first home run. [video/action]

[yakyuunosuta]

[A device clicks on! Suddenly, there is a camera feed, and in it's sight is a body. A teenage boy, it looks like, with dark brown hair and a white shirt and jeans. In fact, to those who recognize him, he's Yamamoto, but.. a younger version of him

[Gokudera notices the video first and sdkljfaklm ARE YOU KIDDING. So he finds a coat and heads out into the snow because he is a fucking awesome right hand, and because he just had a friend die on him and god damn you, Yamamoto, you are not doing it too, you asshole.

He finds Yamamoto without too much trouble and kneels down by him, checking him over as well as he can to make sure he's not in danger of dying of anything other than hypothermia.]

You fucking idiot. Yamamoto? Wake up. [He shakes him a little for good measure.]

[yakyuunosuta]

[And Yamamoto is shaken. And he kind of groans a bit, though it takes a moment before he opens an eye and kind of.. stares blankly at Gokudera.

He ran head first into a steel wall okay, he's a bit disoriented.]

Goku.. dera?

[hurricanebomber]

[Yeah, he doesn't look great. But he is also kind of laying in the snow, so something needs to be done here, obviously.]

Yeah. Look, we need to get inside or you're gonna freeze.

[He'll gripe at him about stuff he actually has no control over--like coming back to Wonderland--later when he can be sure he's safe.]

[yakyuunosuta]

...freeze? But it's..

[God, he really has no idea. His head hurts. Actually, his body hurts. He might have a concussion or something and staying awake, especially now with the cold, is very unpleasant. So he tries to stay awake since.. yeah. That seems to be the most controlling thing right now.]

Your.. arm is injured.

[hurricanebomber]

[Gokudera frowns. Whatever happened to Yamamoto before he showed up here, it hadn't happened yet before he left Namimori.]

Yeah, don't worry about that. You need to get up.

[Without giving him much of a chance to respond, Gokudera stoops and pulls one of Yamamoto's arms over his shoulder, dragging him into a sitting position. He notices the sword in the snow and grabs it in his other hand. Can't just leave Shigure Kintoki out in the snow, after all.]

[yakyuunosuta]

[He kind of.. tries to comply, because the snow is making him cold and he's definitely not dressed for making snow angels or anything. So he pushes himself up, trying to shake off the feeling of being dizzy.

Woo, the world is spinning.]

..where are we?

[He mumbles an inquiry, because yeah. Kinda thought he was dying there for a while..]

[hurricanebomber]

[Gokudera's at least nice enough to give him a minute to adjust to being upright.]

This place is Wonderland. And it's January, and you're not fucking dressed for it. So get up.

[With that, he slowly gets to his feet, pulling Yamamoto up with him. Even uninjured, this would be a little hard, since Yamamoto's taller and probably heavier than him. He has to use the sword like a cane to keep from falling over, but he hopes Yamamoto's probably too out of it to notice.]

[yakyuunosuta]

[And Yamamoto kind of.. is. Though most of his weight is muscle, standing up is not what his body wants to do. So his legs threaten to give out under him but somehow he remains upright.

Ignore the fact that he's kind of.. gripping onto Gokudera for extra balance. His sword is almost forgotten entirely.]

Wonderland? But we were..

[Maybe he did die..]

[hurricanebomber]

Yeah. I've been here for four or five months.

[You're supposed to get people with head wounds to talk, right? He can do that. Even though it is taking most of his concentration just to support Yamamoto's weight.

He starts to walk slowly, hoping the other boy can keep up.]

We were what?

[yakyuunosuta]

Months..?

[Yeah, so good job, Gokudera. He tries to follow but yeah, not very steady on his feet. He's aware enough that he can actually kind of support himself, though for how long remains a mystery. He goes to shake his head but that's not the smartest thing to do so he stops midway through the gesture.]

I was.. fighting..

[He trails off, expression serious. Stupid Genkishi. Fuck his life.]

[hurricanebomber]

Yeah, months. And it's been tons of fun.

[Okay, it hasn't been that bad most of the time, but damn it, the last week or so has just been stressful.

He keeps their pace slow enough that Yamamoto can keep up. Because they need to be inside where he can get Yamamoto some healing-type help, but he is pretty sure he can't get him that far if he's unconscious.]

Were you in the future? That's where that idiot Ryohei came from.

[yakyuunosuta]

...yeah, but.. so were you..

[He focuses mainly on walking, though his tone is starting to become less distracted and more.. well.. how it's supposed to sound.]

You were there, too! Unless.. the kid told you to ask me that..

[He pauses, as if considering, though he's mostly trying to not fall on his face.]

Am I dead?

[hurricanebomber]

Yeah, it's a little complicated. Don't strain yourself.

[And he's not even being sarcastic there. He takes it as a good sign that Yamamoto is sounding more aware, though, and keeps talking.]

Yeah, some version of me probably was. But I wasn't.

[He pauses as well, all too aware that if he tries to push Yamamoto and the other boy fall, he'll be going down with him.]

You better fucking not be. D'you have any idea how upset Juudaime'd be if you die in the future?

[yakyuunosuta]

...ow. Okay.

[He doesn't even fully notice that Gokudera's being genuinely concerned. Though he notices the swearing, at least that is normal.]

You weren't? But..

[He needs to stop with the ending of the sentences before he completes them. He releases his grip on Gokudera some, as he tries to rely on him less.]

...heh. A lot, I know. [His smile is off, but it's there.] I just.. well.. I kinda thought I was going to, but then I didn't.

[hurricanebomber]

I can explain more. Once we're inside.

[Leaning less on Gokudera is nice. He gets them moving again, because they're not far from the entrance now, and the soon they're inside the easier this will be.]

Good thing you didn't. According to everything I've heard that future fucking sucks. They're gonna need your help.

[yakyuunosuta]

Haha, yeah, it kinda does! But it's all part of the game, right? I mean, the only way to win is to beat all the bad guys!

[He miiiight be rambling, but at least he's talking. And walking. And yeah, not leaning on Gokudera so much.]
