Whumptober: Day 14 feat. flare ~ water inhalation wc: 297
The thing about water… it was merciful to an extent, just as dangerous as fire. And yet, it killed flames.
And the thing about Kai, well, in a deadly game of elemental Would You Rather, he would rather burn at the stake than drown.
This fucking water burned in more ways than one. He laughed - inhaling more of the freezing substance as he did so. His lungs were screaming in his place, the water grated against fragile tissues as droplets swarmed the place they definitely shouldn’t be. At the same time his skin was crawling, numb from the tendrils of cold that pushed and pulled against his skin.
The hands that (barely) held him in the rushing river pulled roughly and heaved Kai out of the water. The master of fire hardly even noticed. At first sign of air his body shook, gasping and choking on air and words and water.
There was something buried inside him that caused every flinch, every recoil. Kai almost didn’t want to know what it was.
A stiff kick reached his ribs and red hot to flared up his spine, the coughs grew more guttural. The asshole that was trying to kill him hadn’t been Kai’s priority for a good few minutes and it seemed to be getting to the poor guy’s head.
Kai was too busy to care, his chest shuttered and struggled to bring in any more air than the bare minimum. The foot tried to nudge him onto the side. How thoughtful. The movement caused Kai’s blurring vision to spin, his stomach churning.
If he could sell his soul he would. Just be floating in a realm without pain. Without the rushing rushing water.
Something knocked him hard in the head and every conflict in his body dimmed.
