King thought for a moment running his head through what he could remember about hospital procedure. Everything seemed normal, but… "Do you want to try and see him now?"

Colby sighed softly before looking up. He smiled sadly at the other before shaking his head. "It's alright… I'm used to waiting." He mutters softly, rubbing his face.

"If that's what you want that's fine," King told Colby with a little smile, "But if you wanted to see him sooner, I could try to talk you through."

He shook his head. "I don't think- I don't think I could face him…" He whispers quietly. "Not yet at least…" He mutters.

“Okay,” King responded back quietly. He hadn’t expected Colby to take the option anyway, but felt as if he needed to put it out there for Colby to know that was something that could be done.

Colby sighed quietly as he shook, looking around nervously for a nurse before seeing a doctor walking up to him. He stood and he felt his heart drop at the look on the doctors face. "Sir! My little brother, Pax…" He begged, but was silenced by the doctor shaking his head. "He's not dead… but he's fallen into a coma." He mutters, his eyes gentle. Colby felt himself stumble. He sat back down, his head in his hands.

King was there and ready for Colby. He felt his heart drop at the news about Pax. That, that wasn't good. At least Pax wasn't dead. King held Colby once more giving him silent comfort.

Colby rests his head in his hands, his eyes shutting as he felt the anger and pain ball up in his chest. "We're trying to do all we can." the doctor says gently. Colby nods and waves him away, trying his hardest not to cry.

King could see Colby was in distress. He was very careful and quiet as he asked Colby, "Do you need anything?"

Colby shakes his head. "No… It's alright." He mutters softly as he curled into himself. "I-I don't know…" He whispers softly.

"It's fine if you don't know," King said thinking back to earlier when the positions had been flipped. He kept near Colby and let the villain do his thing.

He sighed and leaned into the other, not wanting to be there at that moment. He wanted to disappear. He didn't wan to deal with this.

King waited for a moment. The wait in the room felt suffocating and he had no idea what Colby might be feeling at the moment. He took a breath and looked at Colby, "Want to go outside for a moment?"

Colby looked up before weakly nodding. This place was to heavy. To miserable. He wanted to cry, but the tears wouldn't come. He shook as he stood, stumbling a little.

King stood up with Colby keeping him in his grasp. He could see the villain was about to fall over. King carefully lead Colby over towards the exit, "Okay. Come on let's go."

Colby nods, leaning weakly on the other. He never thought he would rely on the hero to support him. He followed after and sighed softly. "Yeah… Alright…"

King never thought he would be supporting the villain. At all. It was a strange situation, but he could forget the strangest for now. He lead them to a bench nearby and sat them down, "Here. Take all the time you need."

He breathes in the fresh air and sighed quietly before looking at King. "I don't know how to thank you…" he whispers, sighing quietly.

"You don't need to," King responded his voice at the same level as Colby's. He took a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair, "Consider this the favor I owe you for helping me out the other night."

King shuddered slightly at the memory that was forcing itself to the front of his head before he shoved it back down, "Okay?"

Colby leaned on the other. "Okay…" He whispers before sighing softly and shutting his eyes. "I really am thankful though…" He sighed and curled in on himself.

King found his hand running through Colby's hair. It's what he does with his younger siblings whenever their mother was in the hospital, and at this point, it was just instinct to do so when someone was in distress. He gave Colby a slight smile, "It's nothing really."

He leaned into the gentle touches. He loved it when people touched his hair, it always calmed him down, made him think better. "Thank you." he mutters softly, leaning into King. He needed comfort and assurance as always.

"As I've said, it's nothing," King responded with a light laugh. He continued to run his hand through Colby's hair since the male seemed to calm down with it. He took a slight breath and simply enjoyed the moment no matter how sad it was.

He nods and sighs softly as he leans against the other. "Okay." He shuts his eyes, taking deep and gentle breaths. He was absolutely exhausted, worry and fear clouding over his mind.

King kept quiet and he started to wonder if the events had taken the wind out of Colby's sails. He wouldn't have been surprised if Colby ended up asleep, but he had no plans to go anywhere.
