panic

It had been over a month since the whole event in which Daichi talked to Itsuki in big space.

He hadn't spoken to him in that head space since.

Daichi was curious about what Itsuki was like in big space but he never wanted to ask him to be in it because he didn't want him to be uncomfortable.

He thought that Itsuki would when he was ready and he didn't want to rush that.

He was sat in his room editing some pictures of Minki when his phone began to ring.

It was pretty late considering the time Daichi had been told the Park Residence went to sleep so he was surprised to read the caller ID which said 'Mrs Park.'

He instantly picked it up and clicked speaker, then greeting

"Hello?"

Instantly an extremely panicked Itsuki called out "D-Daichi "

His breathing was erratic and you could tell by his voice he'd been crying.

Daichi instantly started to panic saying

"Itsukie? Is everything okay? Do you need me to come over? Are you okay?"

Itsuki shakily said

"It's Minki , G-Granny found him on the floor and h-he wouldn't wake up. Granny r-ran into my r-room and said he had to go to the vets a-and I didn't know what to do. S-she left me with her p-phone but I don't know what's happening or why he wouldn't wake up o-or if hhe's okay-"

"I'm already on my way Itsukie . I'll be there soon."

Itsuki was getting ready for bed in the bathroom as his grandmother was setting up his bed.

Itsuki waddled his way into his room and his grandmother turned to him asking

"Is Minki not with you?"

Itsuki shook his head tiredly saying

"Nope."

So she turned and said

"I'll go get him honey, you climb into bed."

Itsuki nodded his head and did what he was told and ended up dozing off the moment his head hit the pillow.

The next thing Itsuki knew his grandmother was running into his room shouting his name and saying

"I have to take Minki to the vet now. He won't wake up. I don't want you to see him honey but I need to go now. I'm taking my work phone and I'm leaving this with you. Now I've got to go sweetie. I'll keep you up to date."

She placed a quick kiss on Itsuki's head and then ran out of the room again.

Itsuki sat there as tears started to form in his eyes and his heart dropped.

He stared blankly forward as tears began to fall and remained unmoved even when he heard his grandmothers car rushing out of the drive.

he slowly climbed out of bed with his grandmothers phone in hand and started crying loudly.

He didn't want anything bad to happen to his puppy who he loved with his whole heart.

He slowly found himself scrolling through his grandmothers contacts until he found the name

'Min Daichi'

and clicked on it waiting as the phone rung.

The next thing Itsuki knew Daichi stood at his front door which he had opened at some point and instantly being pulled into the boys arms.

"It's gonna be okay Itsukie , Minki going to get the help he needs."
