Work Text:
As soon as he heard about the news. Branzy rushed to the hospital as fast as he could.
He couldn't bear to wait any second longer than this.
Not even when he was at his own shop working on something important, because to him, nothing in this world was ever more important than the life and well-being of ClownPierce.
Branzy bumped into a few people while running there. They don't even look like they've heard of the news even. The hemlocke's reputation was bad, sure, but at least this was something worthy to be mentioned too! it was just last night that he got the call from reddoons about it!
Branzy's quickened his pace towards the red building almost out of his sight. His shop was way too far for his liking in this situation. Why couldn't he chose to place it closer than this?
Eventually as his mind was filled with doubts and negative thoughts, Branzy has already reached the Hospital's reception desk without knowing when.
Branzy slammed both of his palms onto the top part of the desk, his own body disheveled and panting from all the running across town. Branzy managed to shout out a sentence.
" I'm here for ClownPierce "
" Is he here? "
" Please tell me that he's okay— "
" please tell me he's aliv—— "
" WOAH Woah woah sir, please calm down "
The receptioner cut him off before he could spill his worry out any further.
" I'm sorry. I-I'm just- just really worried about him "
" no worries, he's in room ■■■. safe travels, sir "
" Thank you "
With all of that out of his way. Branzy pursued his mission to see his man, to see Clown, to know that's he's going to be okay.
Running up several flights of stairs isn't ideal for the exhausted body of an overworked mechanic, but that didn't matter when in just a few more steps, the door was there. The door of light that Branzy had seeked after all of his running.
Branzy wasted no seconds pushing the dark oak door open to the room's occupant resting body. Choosing to close the door immediately after he entered the room.
Branzy's heart pounded louder and louder by every breathe he took. Dropping down to his knees and holding Clown's hand in his.
Clown's hand was not soft in the slightest bit, but it was the one the he knew from all of their years of hardship together.
Clown had not gained consciousness yet, so Branzy would have to wait for Clown a little longer.
At least Clown's still alive. That's all that matters right now.
A day had passed and Branzy finally felt the slight twitching of Clown's hand for the first time after the incident.
Clown had finally awoken from his slumber to the face the he'd longed for this entire time.
Tears welling up in Branzy's eyes and dropping onto his hand as they kept flowing out of those eye sockets containing amethyst eyes.
" Don't cry on me now Branzy, You know i was going to wake up sooner or later "
Clown said as he pulled Branzy closer to hug, only then that be felt something missing from his face, the nurses probably took off all of his head gear when he was still unconscious, including his mask.
" I- I can't help it! you were in the fire Clown! how am i supposed to act like nothing is to worry about! "
Despite sounding mad at it, Branzy still hugged Clown closer and buried his face in the other's chest and sobbed. Simply that alone had made Clown's heart softened at the sight.
" I know.. Sorry for making you worry Branzy "
" No- you didn't do anything wrong Clown, I- I- I just- who wouldn't be worried about their partner? "
" The whole building was in flame! "
" Silly Branzy, I'm not going to die being burned alive "
" I just had to make sure everyone there had moved to a safer spot, being the manager and all that "
Seems like Branzy wasn't buying it, given the reaction on his face was priceless.
Branzy ruffled Clown's hair and pulled him closer for a kiss, even if it's a short one, they both knew that everything had been going on for far too long enough.
" Finally getting your long deserved off the work now right? "
" You're hilarious Branzy, as if it didn't come with the whole building being burned "
Maybe all those smoke had gotten into Clown's head, but he is really glad that he's finally having some time to spend with Branzy.
