lockon2urheart[As soon as the Doctor had told him about Haruhi's exploits at the wedding, Lockon had resolved to track her down. They clearly needed to talk, and she hadn't been to see him this whole time - well, he could walk unaided for short periods, now. He was going to go to her, if she wouldn't come to him.
The Doctor had said she was in the TARDIS, which wasn't even technically off hospital grounds. Now he was off the IV he had nothing stopping him from making the short trip to the blue box. Although he wouldn't win any races, he reached it without incident and knocked a few times on the door. He didn't shout. She might not have answered, if she was avoiding him.]

The only way you'll look weak at all is if you let yourself get so worked up that you pass out. Take some deep breaths and get ahold of yourself, Haruhi, you're stronger than this.

The last thing he wants is for her to pass out right in front of him. He hugs her again, holding her close to his chest, keeping his own breathing slow and steady, hoping that'll do something to calm her as well.]
It's okay, Haruhi. Just keep it calm. Everything's gonna be okay.

body goes limp against her will. She leans against his chest because she can't pull away and leans againt his chest, listening to his breathing, on the verge of passing out]
no subject
Date: 2009-02-22 11:48 pm (UTC)[Not panicking, using all his self-control to keep his breathing and heart rate as calm and steady as he can. Same with his voice, talking calmly and quietly.] Deep breaths. Nice and relaxed. Just deep breaths.

[starts trying to match his breathing like he says, one small shaking hand coming to grip his shirt]

[Keeping the slow, steady pattern up, he moves one hand to cover hers.]

Date: 2009-02-23 01:12 am (UTC)Haruhi?
[He looks down at her, worriedly, and she's out like a light, but...she's breathing normally, at least. That much is good. But now what...?
He looks up and around the room. Her bedroom, by the looks of things. The answer was very simple, then. He gathers her up in his arms, carefully, and carries her over to the bed before gently lying her down on it. He follows, sitting down on the edge of the bed and stroking her hair with one hand while he works out what he should do. Stay and wait for her to wake up, or go like she'd told him to before?
He lets out a little tired sigh, and moves his hand away. It's been an emotionally draining visit, for both of them. She might have told him to go, but she might well never forgive him if he was gone when she woke up. The worst she could do if he stuck around was tell him to leave again.
And so, he stays where he is, using the time to think over the conversation they'd had.]

Date: 2009-02-23 01:19 am (UTC)She looks around, trying to remember where she is and quicky realizes it's her room. Haruhi tries to sit up but everything is still so heavy that the most she can do is turn her head.
She looks to the side and sees Lockon and decides, in that instant, she doesn't want him to go.]
Don't-
[It's hard to speak in her sorry state and the best she can do is reach out with her hand and grab his shirt]
no subject
Date: 2009-02-23 01:49 am (UTC)When she spoke and reached for him, he mirrored his earlier gesture and clasped his hand around hers. He smiled reassuringly.]
Hey, I'm not going anywhere. Don't worry.

Date: 2009-02-23 01:53 am (UTC)[It hurt, he was so kind that it hurt, after all she had said. And he was still here, even after she'd yelled. Tears once again flooded her eyes and she struggled to raise her hand to wipe them away, reminding her painfully that she was not strong like he had said.]

Date: 2009-02-26 02:53 am (UTC)Strong is good, but sometimes the strongest thing you can do is let yourself be emotional, you know? It takes strength to let it all out. If you bottle it up, it'll just come back to bite you in the end.
no subject
Date: 2009-02-26 03:36 am (UTC)No, being strong would be dealing with it. No crying.
