#kandaisya

He sat there a while, watching the small circle of sky still visible from his position and occasionally shouting up for anyone passing by. As it started to grow pink and dim, fear started to make its home in his chest. They should have found him by now. The temperature was also dropping fast- causing him to shiver as things got darker. Freezing to death at the bottom of a well? Things really couldn’t get worse.

It was a stupid sentiment, it turns out. A slow dripping of rain started, quickly growing into a steady downpour. Great. If this kept up, he’d either freeze or drown. It was just a matter of whatever came first. His friends had left him. And not just his friends… Kanda had left him. The one person he cared about more than anything. Daisya had thought the other felt the same but… Well, he had been wrong before.

“Daisya?”

A voice cut through the rain. He could cry. He did cry.

“I’m here! Kanda, I’m in the well!” Daisya screamed, desperately trying to be heard. “Kanda!”

He went quiet for a minute, waiting tensley for any sounds of acknowledgement. For too long there was nothing, but…

“Damn it. How the hell did you get down there?”

Kanda’s voice came from the opening to the well, usual annoyed tone edged with poorly hidden relief.

“Fell. Hurt my leg pretty bad too, so you’re gonna have to help me out.”

Once again there was a brief silence before something soft fell down the well. So he had a rope. Man, he’d really prepared. It wasn’t long before there was the sound of someone coming down the well. Daisya just hoped they wouldn’t get stuck there together.

Boots hit the muddy ground beside him, hands gently finding his face.

“Can you move?”

“Yeah. Can’t climb, but I can stand. I… I wasn’t sure you were coming.”

“I wasn’t. We’re close to the Order so I figured you were fucking around in the woods. You weren’t that hard to find once I started.”

His voice was soft, void of annoyance as he pulled Daisya to his feet. In times like this he was thankful to be shorter than the other, as it made holding on much easier as Kanda climbed. Before long there were out, standing in the heavy rain as the lights of the Order shone from a distance. Kanda didn’t put him down, instead adjusting to better carry him without as much strain on his injured leg.

“Let’s get out of this rain.”
