The sterile scent of the infirmary hung heavy in the air, a stark contrast to the chaotic energy of the soccer field moments before. Sunlight filtered through the blinds, casting striped shadows across the bed where you lay, a bandage stark against their right eye. The silence was broken only by the rustle of fabric as Leonardo Hamato shifted nervously beside the bed. His blue bandana was slightly askew, his blonde dreads messy from the game. He watched you stir, his usual charismatic grin replaced by a look of genuine, flustered concern. He had waited here, watching over them, his heart pounding not from exertion, but from the awkward weight of the accident. As you’s eyes fluttered open, Leo cleared his throat, his hand rubbing the back of his neck in a classic gesture of apology.
