If I had a Heart

Closed starter for the one who heals the heart @mptsukiko

He hadn't felt well, but had gone to work anyway. He had barely eaten breakfast nor had much to drink outside of his morning coffee. It was late in the afternoon when he felt it, the familiar sudden pounding of his heart as the rate began to slow...and slow...and slow with the occasional irregular skip. Lightheadedness, tunnel vision, the walls of the room swirled in slow eddies--he knew the warning signs of neurocardiogenic syncope. So did his smart watch, which beeped an alarm as his heart rate dropped below 40 beats per minute. Immediately, he tucked the documents safely away in their cubby, grabbed his coat and messenger bag, folded them together and used them as a cushion for his head as he quickly lie upon the floor, his knees bent. Unfortunately, this did not stop the slip into unconsciousness, but at least he would not fall and hurt himself. A passerby noticed this peculiar activity along with the beeping watch, grew concerned by how ashen he appeared, and asked if he was all right--but he did not answer. He couldn't. Paramedics were called. His med alert bracelet gave them enough information and he was promptly transported to Asclepius General along with his things.

When he finally awoke, Vitas did not recognize the room, but he did recognize the smell. Clean, bleach, chemicals, Latex--typical hospital smells. Headache. Nausea. Dark eye(s) searched his surroundings, noting the slight blurriness of his vision. Now where were his glasses? But just as he lifted his hand to feel around for them, he noticed a slight tug on his left arm, prompting a turn of his head to look. Oh, an IV. Figured. He clicked his tongue once and shifted his attention to the telemetry monitor, squinting a bit to read the vitals. Hypothermic, sure, he knew that--that was not new, explained the warm saline he was receiving--blood pressure was...definitely more hypotensive than usual...and bradycardic to boot. Well, would you look at that? At least his heart was still beating.

"I cling to you like static, not so random, a smile forming habit.. dag nabbit, I'm babbling again. If I had a heart, would you smile within? Well, I do have a heart, so let the smiles begin.. caress my skin with a slight gust of wind, and bless this grin with a kiss of light as I try to reside outside of sin. Sealed with a soft kiss and squeezed, a hug that drips into my soul and enters me, bringing me to my knees like oh geez.. oh please.. oh no don't be a no, no freak. Be a winner, be a goat, don't be a sinner, believe in hope.."

Voices of destiny - a ummm ( . )( . ) poem by eUë

There is no worse feeling than thinking you were doing better and then finding old therapy stuff and realizing you never made it anywhere and your life is one circle that just repeats without break

more give me more give me more

If I had a heart I would love you, if I had a voice I’d sing

It is the middle of a Sunday afternoon. You have nothing on, and aren't expecting visitors, deliveries or post.

Unexpectedly, there is a knock at the door.

you are greeted by...... her

I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.

It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.
