Locked to vytis

[pasodoble]

( When Lithuania shows up again, Spain's face is planted in his pillow and there's a low, continuous, and miserable moaning coming from him. It's broken by the occasional muttering, )

I'm dying...!

Comments

[vytis]

[He shuts the door behind him, regarding Spain critically in spite of his own obvious illness.]

You're not going to die.

[Probably.]

[pasodoble]

( COUGHS AND SITS UP SO QUICKLY



oh he feels lightheaded just going to lay back down now. )

You don't know that.

[vytis]

[Lithuania looks kind of wobbly just watching Spain move around like that, but he's keeping his usual poker face.]

It won't be much longer, you know.

1/2

[pasodoble]

I knew it!

( And an accusatory finger pointing at LIthuania as he props himself back on his pillows, )

[pasodoble]

You're here to kill me..!

[vytis]

No, actually.

[He does have a cold cloth though and it is getting dropped onto Spain's forehead.]

[pasodoble]

( There's a gasp and then his hand reaches up to adjust it some. The shock is enough to snap him out of his delirium some and his eyes shoot over towards Lithuania, )

... What do you want now?

[vytis]

[Welcome back to non-delirium, Spain.]

Nothing. You're delirious, so who knows if I'm even here.

[Sarcasm is fun.]

[pasodoble]

( Incoming wobbly fist in Lithuania's direction. It lacks any strength do anything, if it even hits. )

No... you're definitely... here.

[vytis]

[He lets Spain hit him, but he doesn't really react to it. He smooths out Spain's sheets instead, as much as he can with Spain in the bed.]

Good to know you aren't completely out of it.

[pasodoble]

( He can see Lithuania. Hear Lithuania. Touch Lithuania. Lithuania is really, really there. Damn. Okay. )

You were here last night too. ( Now, that? Spain thought that was a delirious dream but tonight nails it. And he's going to swat at Lithuania's hand some. Stop that, you aren't his Queen Mother. ) Why are you visiting me? Aren't you sick too?

[vytis]

I am. [And he looks it. He's obviously running a fever just from how flushed his face is. He steps back when Spain swats at him.] This is Miss Nevermind's week, though.

[This clarifies nothing, except maybe to Lithuania himself.]

[pasodoble]

( Squiiiiints. That didn't make any sense at all but maybe it's because of this fever. )

Sonia... Sonia! I can't let her-- ( And suddenly he's throwing off his blankets. Or at least, trying to. He gets rather tangled in them and when he tries to get out of bed, he can only get to the very edge. He's seated now, both hands holding the edge and his head down low as he coughs harshly. ) She can't...!

( Tiredly, he looks up at Lithuania, )

Don't make her do anything, please.

[vytis]

She has a country to look out for; I think she's already made her decision. [He frowns at Spain.] You should lay down.

[pasodoble]

Because of you! ( If his throat wasn't so raw, he would be yelling but his voice is just a rasp when he tries. ) Kaoru died. Kanaya and Touko are gone too... it's just. It's just us! If Sonia fails I can't--

( Coughing and rocking some. Everything hurts so much. He can't think, he's in pain, he can't sleep, he can't eat, everything is so awful. The symptoms are severe but there's something else bothering him. )

I can't let them down. I can't let them down. I can't let them down.

( It feels just like home and he's not sure if he's talking about Sonia and the others or his people anymore. )

[vytis]

Spain, listen to me. [His tone is serious but not cruel.] Your people are safe. If you want to support Miss Nevermind, don't make her worry about you any more than she has to.

1/2

[pasodoble]

( He's shaking his head at Lithuania, head in his hands now. )

If she dies...

[pasodoble]

( And he freezes, completely still and silent for a second before looking up through his fingers. His words are a hiss, )

If Sonia dies, I'll kill you.

[vytis]

[Lithuania stares back at him. He looks too tired to put much of an edge onto his expression, though.] What would that get you?

[pasodoble]

... We would lose.

[vytis]

You can't forfeit the lives of your people for that--not when you've already saved them.

[pasodoble]

If Sonia and I die, we still lose.

[vytis]

You're not dead. She isn't either.

[pasodoble]

( No words, just eyes looking directly at Lithuania. Or at least, the best he can. He seems to be out of focus or unable to completely focus on him. For a moment, it looks like Spain is looking for something-- )

Why are you really playing?

[vytis]

Does it matter to you?

[pasodoble]

( Squinting and

jesus christ his head hurts enough without whatever mindfuck is going on right now okay. )

... I think so?

[vytis]

...Maybe I'll tell you later. [He shrugs.] Goodnight, Spain.

[And Lithuania leaves.]

[pasodoble]

( Don't you dare walk out on Spain you!!! There's another fit of coughing and he's still in the midst of it when he gasps out at Lithuania, )

We're frien--...!

( And he's cut off by his own retching. Screw you, Lithuania. )

[vytis]

[Actually Lithuania pauses before he leaves when Spain speaks again, turning to look at him again. He will even wait for Spain to finish retching, because he looks a little confused.]

[pasodoble]

( Is that blood on his hands now jesus christ is this going to become a thing now too. Spain will continue longer and when it's over, he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand and looks to see if Lithuania is gone or not. )

The memories. ( He sounds breathless. ) Stiles. ( Just getting out bits and pieces. ) We're countries

in his world...!

( It something Spain put together a loooong time ago but he never said anything because haha, the idea of having to kill a friend from home in this place, wow. )

I think... ( And his brow furrows as he sways some. ) We're... supposed to be... to be... ?

( What was he trying to say again? He's having a difficult time thinking again. )
