Chapter Text
After the container fight Sannoh´s Hoodlum Squad,exhausted,returns to Itokan.
Celebrating victory.Or at least that´s what they thought.It starts easy,the usual patching each other up and getting the party started with a lot of liquor.Hours into celebrating Naomi send Cobra to the storage to get more tequila when the blonde notices that something´s wrong.
When he tried to reach for the tequila a sharp pain shoots through his side,he groans in anoyance at the thought,that it´s probably a cracked rib and what a pain in the ass it´s gonna be to heal.At least until he tries to leave the storage and sees dark red blood stains on the floor.He shakes his head,as if to shake the situation back into it´s usual place when he get´s dizzy.Probably the tequila,but Cobra wonders,he normally drinks like a tank.It won´t explain either why it´s so damn cold,even though he´s sweating.
He curses and his fingers reach towards his injured side to come back bloody.Fuck.He didn´t even realise he had been injured.He´s gotta have to deal with that shit,probably sooner rather than later.He sneaks all the necessarities for wound treatment and stiches,into his pocket,grabs the tequila and heads out again.pretending that nothings wrong and he isn´t bleeding like a pig.
Cobra has another shot of tequila hoping to ease the pain as he mentally prepares himself for the torture he´s about to suffer.He knows exactly it´s a hell of a dumb idea,but he doesn´t wanna ruin the party or worry the others.He´s gonna be fine,right?
He sneaks into the bathroom when he sees the others all busy,so they won´t notice,then locks the door,leaning against it he sighs heavily.Taking his jacket off is torture by itself and Cobra fears it took a year until he´s now shirtless,looking at his injury.A huge cut on his side,right under his rips,bleeding.He curses again before going to work.He cleans the wound and the needle before putting in the threat.He internally screams at the thought as he never did that before,but starts anyways.
Two stiches in and he feels the stomach acid crawl up his throat.Three and he runs towards the toilet,collapses on the floor and vomits,tears blurr his vision.When Cobra returns to the sink he needs to physically support his weight on his arms,his legs shaking,doing a shitty job at holding him up.“C´mon Cobra.Two more.“
By the time he finished the stiches,cleaned his wound and sloppily bandaged it,he needs to take a seat on the floor,leaning heavily against the wall to not pass out.Black dots clouding his vision,when there´s a knock on the door.“Cobra!You good?!“Yamato.He knows Cobra to damn well.No time for a pity party,Cobra thinks as he get´s up,even tho struggling.“Nah man,I´m good.“He forces out through grittet teeth.Liar.
He puts on his shirt again and runs to the toilet to puke again.Damn it he needs a damn smoke.He swears and curses but eventually puts on his jacket and get´s rid of the evidence of his own diy surgery,before heading out of the bathroom.He manadges exactly two very unstead steps before the world turns black and he collapses completely.
Chaos breaks out immidiatly and screaming erruptures.They run towards their leader,screaming for him but he shows no reaction.He pale and covered in cold sweat.
Yamato´s the first to reach his childhood friend.He searches for a pulse and alarmed turns towards Naomi.“His pulse is racing!“He exclaims.„Is Cobra-san having a heart attack?!“Chiharu yells or more squeaks out in alarm.“What?No!“Naomi turns towards him.“Cobra probably hid an injury that self sacrificing asshole.“Yamato and Noboru exclaim at the same time.
Cobra´s collapse reopened some stiches and blood drops onto the floor.Yamato throws his jacket aside and they gasp,seeing the bloody shirt.“I gotta call an ambulance.“Naomi says,turning towards the bar where she left the cell phone.
Yamato still in panic,rips open Cobra´s shirt to reveal what´s left from his diner bathroom surgery.Noboru curses and storms towards the bathroom,opening the door already a scent of metallic blood hits him.Confirmed in his fear he´s opening the trash and yells „Fuck!“He storms towards the others in a hurry.“That total idiot tried to give himself stiches!“
It doesn´t take long for the ambulance to arrive.And that leaves a total bewildered Sannoh Hoodlum Squad in the waiting room of the hospital.It feels like years until the doctor comes out.“I´m searching for the emergency contact of Hino,Junpei.“He asks and Yamato nearly jumps out of his chair,screaming“That´s me.“While Dan,Tetsu and Chiharu look confused.Naomi chuckles as she remembers they have no idea what Cobra´s full name is.
„Your friend was lucky.He survived emergency surgery and is gonna be okay eventually.However you gotta teach him to go to the damn hospital earlier,not try to treat your own wound and stich it up especially if there´s still glass in the wound that caused internal bleeding.He´s in the recovery room now.It might take a while till he wakes up but I can bring you to him,as long as you all don´t stress him.“
With that they all got seated in Cobra´s hospital room.On the bed,chairs or even the floor.It took hours until they dared to speak.“Had no idea his name´s Junpei Hino.“
Tetsu chuckles.“Sounds adorable.“Dan muses.“He owns Hino´s gas station.Where the hell do you think that name came from?“Naomi chuckles.
„Im´ma call him Junberry now.“Chiharu,seated on the end Cobra´s bed barks out a laugh.„Only if you want me to cut of your manberries.“Cobra mumbles sleepily.
„Cobra!“They all exclaim happily.Yamato and Noboru share a look.They´re gonna scold Cobra later.Now they´re just happy.
