It hurt. Everything hurt, and he was angry (blinded by rage, almost) and he truly, truly wanted to kill something. Whether or not it was Minamimoto that had started this nonsense, it was him that had injured Hibari.

He wondered blithely, through

Hibari smirks at him, and realizes what a terrible sight he must make- beaten, bloody, slightly burned in places from blasts of energy, or whatever it was. He doesn't even mind too much that Gokudera is seeing him in such a state. Why should he care? Gokudera has seen him weak before, and in any case, he's probably dying. Nothing to worry about, nothing at all, because he won't be alive to see the implications.

Everything has gone so, so far to hell that he can't believe it. The 'dream world' facade has fallen to an eternal nightmare, stretching out as far as he can see- the static and screams the Dreamberry spits are enough to prove that point.

And part of him is glad Gokudera's here, though he doesn't know why- true warriors fight alone, die alone, need no one by their side. (At least Yamamoto isn't here, too. Such an insult may have just killed him.)

Hibari breathes deeply, closing his eyes- the pain isn't anything new, and the wound already hurt a lot, but the sudden burning isn't exactly pleasant. He licks his dry, cracked lips with an equally dry tongue, achieving nothing but the taste of blood in his mouth, coppery and salty, and he'd already had that. When he coughs, when he breathes too sharply, he can taste blood- maybe Minamimoto cracked a rib, or punctured a lung. He doesn't know, and he doesn't care. Either Gokudera will fix him and he'll live, or he'll die in a bloody mess on the school floor, and it won't matter anymore.

He thinks of the last time he was here, at the mercy of someone else, and feels the anger rushing back- but Gokudera isn't Rolo in any way, which makes it bearable. He doesn't mind Gokudera touching him, and it doesn't make him uneasy that he's the one picking up the pieces. Rolo- now, Rolo might have just killed him in his sleep. But Gokudera he trusts, insofar as he trusts anyone; which is to say, not much, but enough.
