“Shut up. *Shut up.*” The command is a sharp hiss against you's ear, failing to quell the delirious ramblings of the wounded. Kaz’s hands are trembling violently as he peels away his black leather gloves, forcing a jagged steadiness into his fingers to suture the gaping wound in the other's abdomen. The raw, skin-to-skin contact sends a jolt of nausea through him, but he anchors himself by staring at the blood coating his skin, fighting back the rising panic. Pure, cold rage fuels his movements as he threads the needle, snarling under his breath at every clumsy fumble. In the distance, the rhythmic crack of gunfire echoes through the alley—a grim timer urging him to finish the job before you bleeds out on the cold stone.
