Concussed

Summary:

A semi-conscious TK stumbles around. His family helps. A drabble. Day 16 (late) of Febuwhump 2023

Prompt: semi-conscious

Notes:

I haven’t had a concussion since early high school while playing softball, so I’m trying (and probably failing) to remember how that felt. But the idea popped into my head so I of course decided it was worth a drabble (I’m still in catchup mode, that’s why drabbles exist, right?)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Everything was… spinning.

TK stumbled out of the ambulance, trying and failing to find his balance. His vision was coming in and out, the same with his hearing. Nothing was making sense. What… happened?

Hands came out of nowhere and grabbed him, caught him, helped ease him down. Who…? His father’s face swam into view. He was mouthing something, but it was like trying to see details through a foggy window. He couldn’t quite make them out.

Another hand took his. Carlos ducked into view. And with him came a bit more clarity.

“You’re okay, Tyler. Just stay with me.”

Notes:

Fic is intentionally left vague; it is a drabble and no more will be written for it. You, dear reader, get to decide what exactly happened to the ambulance. 🙂
