The school's infirmary was surprisingly large. It took up a good portion of the main office building, and looked like the average emergency room you'd see in a hospital. Six beds in total were lined up along the wall, but only one was occupied at the moment. Apparently, the nurse determined that broken limbs were more of a priority than "unknown" injuries that Kurt had. So, the three were shipped off to the nearest hospital, while Kurt remained at the school.
Both Paul and Vechs were ushered out of the room by Jeff Sano, the nurse's work study student, as soon as they helped put Kurt onto the bed. The nurse said she didn't need them as a distraction when she looked over Kurt. Vechs tried to protest but his roommate silenced him. "You're the one who's going to be explaining what happened to Zisteau, you can't do that if you're throwing a fit."
"I was not throwing a fit." Vechs grumbled, crossing his arms.
~~~
Zisteau rushed through the school yard towards the main office building. His mind a blur with the thoughts of what could had happened to Kurt. It must had been serious since someone else had to call him about Kurt going to the infirmary. The voice on the phone sounded vaguely familiar, but Zisteau couldn't place who it was though.
When he reached the doors of the main office building, Zisteau smashed into them, forgetting that you had to pull to open them. He let out a sigh, pulling open the door and stepping inside before running down the hallway that led down to the infirmary. Zisteau heard his name being called by a teacher, trying to scold him for running down the hall, but he didn't slow down. Though he soon learned he should have slowed, because he crashed into someone. Sending both of them to the floor.
"Ow, hello to you too, Z." Vechs' voice rang through his ears and he found himself on top of the other.
"Don't even try to make any jokes." Zisteau threatened as he tried to pushed himself off of Vechs. After a few failures, all of which Vechs giggled about, a hand gripped his arm and tugged him to his feet. Looking at the owner of the arm, Zisteau was surprised to see Vechs' older roommate, Paul Soares Jr.
The taller teen shot him a smile and Zisteau would had took it as a one of cheer if the other's eyes weren't scanning over him, as if trying to find something untrustworthy about him. "You're Zisteau Battlesignnal?" His voice matched the voice Zisteau had heard on the phone earlier.
"Yeah," Zisteau nodded then became suddenly alarmed again, looking around frantically. "Where's Kurt?"
Vechs jabbed his thumb towards the door of the infirmary. "Lying unconscious in bed while Nurse Crabby and in-every-work-study-class-in-existence Jeff Sano look over him."
"What the hell happened to him?!" Zisteau resisted the urge to grab Vechs by the collar of shirt, knowing the other probably nothing to do with it.
“Our school’s friendliest students tripped him down the stairs and his landing was anything but soft. Before you think about tearing them to pieces, apparently they all had an accident and are at the hospital with broken limbs.” The way Vechs nonchalantly told Zisteau about what happened, many would think he didn’t care.
Zisteau knew better though, he knew that Vechs hated seeing anyone being treated like they were trash and the reason he got into so many fights was because of that. The other was also known to brag about what he had done, so if he said “accident” while describing what happened to known bullies, he must've been in deep trouble to not be able to talk about what actually happened. “Did the nurse mention anything about his injuries?”
This time, it was Paul who answered. “No, she just told us to help carry him here then made Jeff usher us out.” He looked Zisteau over once more, before glancing at the door to the infirmary. “I wouldn’t worry too much. The nurse seemed to know Kurt quite well, so I doubt she won’t treat him with extra care.”
That statement didn’t calm Zisteau’s nerves at all. In fact it did the opposite, it made him worry even more. The nurse didn’t remember people who came in with a small cut and wanted a bandage; she remembered the people who came in with the bad injuries. So that begged the question, how much did Kurt visit the Nurse with an injury and hide it from Zisteau?
While Vechs cracked jokes about “extra care” the nurse would give to Kurt, Zisteau stood there staring at the door, wondering about the question.

Kurt awoke to a bright light shining in his eyes and an ache all over his body, that’s when he instantly knew where he was. He tried to sit up but all of his muscles cried out in protest, making him release a groan.
“Ah, the sleeping astronomer is awake at last! Good thing too, I thought I was going to have to arrange for another ambulance.” The Nurse said and the bright light in Kurt’s eyes receded, letting him get a look of his surroundings.
“How long-” Kurt started but was quickly interrupted by the Nurse’s Work Study Jeff Sano.
“About five minutes; we decided not to report a major concussion though due to…” Jeff glanced at the Nurse quickly before returning his gaze to Kurt. “Certain personal reasons you’ve brought up in the past.”
Kurt knew what he was talking about, so he just nodded after the other was done talking. It was a kind of relief knowing this was another injury he could get away without worrying someone. Someone worrying… Realization shot through him and he found himself sitting up, despite the pain. “Did anyone tell Zisteau?”
Both the Nurse and Jeff shared a look before the work study student started walking towards the door. “There was two people who saw you fall, the upperclassman Paul Soares Jr and Vechs Davion. As you’d expect, your roommate was contacted by one of them.”
Jeff opened the door and Kurt instantly wished he hadn’t. There, standing in the doorway, was his boyfriend. Who had one of the most worried faces Kurt had ever seen in his life. And he had been the one responsible for it. He had only felt worse once in his life compared to now; and both times the feeling started with a worried look.
