Yuuri’s body shook from the pain. Everything felt distant, even when Viktor ran to his side. He closed his eyes, focusing on his breathing and nodding when he heard those words of reassurance. Rather quickly he could hear the ambulance in the distance, causing Yuuri to look up at Viktor. “Stay with me.” he begged, his voice weak.
❝ i’m right here, yuuri, i’m not going anywhere, ❞
he spoke gently, trying to keep his voice relaxed so that it would sooth his pain and his panic. but, in actuality, the russian was trembling, holding onto his fiancé’s hand as tightly as he could without feeling like he was bringing the other any discomfort.
it all happened so quickly, and yet it all felt like it was happening and slow motion. he was eased back by a paramedic who needed to get close to yuuri.
❝ need to stay close, ❞
he breathed anxiously to one of the individuals who came from the vehicle, his gaze distant as he focused on yuuri and got up into the ambulance with them.
