It was quite a sight, for anyone who witnessed the walking furnace attempt to transport two individuals who were not feeling their best, followed by a meek boy. Kachiya insisted that she was fine, but after having gotten hit by the frantic half-ton man, said half ton man insisted that she get checked up too. She could barely walk so she didnt have too much leeway to argue.
He was being taking more care to be sure others wouldnt share her fate as the two men rammed through the school medical center calling for help

Tanzo was in quite a bad mood as he sprinted into the medical center. Flynn was going to get many earfuls for this later once he wasn't in danger anymore. Despite his best efforts to keep his friend's sickness from getting any worse, the stubborn boy had really worked himself up from a mild cold to an actually dangerous fever. Needless to say the large metal man carrying him was less than happy at the moment.
Thankfully UA's medical center was well staffed, with all the hero class injuries that needed tending to being understaffed wasn't an option.
"This idiot has a bad fever and needs medical aid immediately" Tanzo said to the first doctor he could find, getting directed to a room and a bed to set his friend down in as the doctors took over
"And this one needs a checkup after taking a bad hit, she's probably mostly fine but she can't currently walk so..." Tanzo said to the next doctor who he handed Kachiya too "and as for me, I'm going to go find a pillow to scream into to let out my frustrations. I'll be back soon."
Tanzo would then walk off in a huff and let the medical staff do their jobs as he found ways to vent

Hal wasn't sure what to do with himself. He was worried about Flynn, but he also had no way to actively help, and he didn't want to get in the way. So understandably, he was wringing his hands as he followed as close behind Tanzo as possible, perhaps even wheezing a bit since even tall as he was, Tanzo was taller and faster than him when he had built up some steam. Hal only caught up when the bigger guy slowed down to avoid breaking down the doors and walls in the medical wing.
He was so worried about Flynn, that he didn't even have his notebook in hand for once, having left it behind in Flynn's room--one more reason his hands were wringing themselves, out of an absence of something to occupy themselves with. He'd hover as close as the medical staff would allow, but obviously the doctors would want to check up on both patients so he couldn't be bedside for them until the examinations were over. So he just stood there in front of the far wall, thoughts racing a mile a minute, self-recrimination being chased around with thoughts about Flynn's kiss, the two sets of thoughts chasing one another around and around in his head until he had worked himself into a mental frenzy trying to figure things out and he slowly slid to the floor against the wall, legs folding up to his chin even before he tucked his head between his knees and mentally screamed, though sound refused to emerge from his parted lips aside from the sound of the start of him hyperventilating.
Why had Flynn kissed him?! How did he feel about that kiss? And why hadn't he called for Tanzo sooner when it seemed like Flynn was getting worse?!

The medical staff raced into action as the students came rushing in shouting for help. Flynn was taken from Tanzo swiftly and within minutes they had his records pulled up as they rushed him into a run to be examined and treated. They also called the agency listed on his record to get an interpreter there as quickly as possible for when he woke up. Kachiya was also greeted by a nurse who politely told her not to worry and simply to follow her to a separate room for a check up just to be safe.
Kachiya's case was easy. The nurse was kind and profressional while taking her vitals and checking for a concusion, which luckily she didn't have. She was lead back out into the waiting room to the boys after only a few moments.
"She's just a bit joustled." The nurse would stated. "She just needs to sit for a bit. She'll be fine."
While all this was happening, another nurse would take not od Hal and pull his records up to be safe. He would make his way over and crouch in front of him, calling his name and reminding him to breath. The nurse would start trying to get Hal to do some breating exercises to calm down while softly telling him it will be fine.
For Flynn, on the other hand, it would be a couple hours before they heard anything. The interpreter would show up before any of the doctors working on him could let the anyone in. It wasn't Yashida this time, but the man who showed up looked just as professional. He was asked to sit in the waiting the room as well until the patient was ready. The man nodded, sat, adn whipped his phone out to start texting Yashisa and ask about the client he was about to deal with.
Finally, a doctor immerged from the door leading to the back and called, "Who is hear for Mr. Hansha?"
He would address the interpreter first and tell him where to go so that he was there ready when Flynn woke up. He then looked to the other students with a soft smile.
"You got him here just in time. We were able to bring his fever down to something managable but we need to keep him here for a few days to a week to be sure it doesn't creep back up. He needs plenty of rest and fluids, but its nothing he can't make a full recovery from especially with a squeeky clean record like his. You're all welcome to head to his room if you wish, he's in 302 on the third floor. The elevator is the first turn to the right after you enter the doors here. He isn't awake yet, but we expect him to come to shortly now that the fever isn't a risk factor for the time being."
And with that, the doctor went off to other patiences. The interpreter gave the kids a soft smile and looked down to them, even Tanzo. This man was tall and slender with cheeta ears, a tail, and markings all over his body. He was mostly likely the one called by the agency because he could get there the fastest. "You kids must be friends of his, huh? My name's Nekomiya Haiya, and I'll be interpreting for Flynn when he wakes up. Yashida says he's quite the character. From how she's describing him he'll be up and out in no time. Stubborness is both a weakness and a strength. Why don't we walk there together?" He was very kind, though a bit more stiff and professional than Yashida normally was. But Yashida had already worked with FLynn for a year and knew with him there was no such thing as being professional. Either way, he would start making his way to the room given expecting the kids to follow

Kachiya did what she was instructed to do, without issue. She felt a little bit dizzy, but that was normal for the most part considering what had happened. She was asked how her head was feeling, if she was experincing any headaches and what had happened. She was asked questions to test her cognizance which was solid, for right now at least. No signs of concussion were currently recorded which was good news but she was given instructions to take it easy for the next couple days and to report any changes.
After being given something sweet to drink, she was allowed to move to the room where her friend Flynn was being kept. On her way up, she passed by tanzo who seemed upset and, as much as she wanted to check up on Flynn, she couldnt ignore a friend in distress and so she had turned around and followed him, being careful to keep a good distance
"Hey"
She stated, remaining cautious until he was fully aware of his presence.
"Any word on Flynn? You doing ok?"
She stated, unsure if she should close the gap to comfort him, hestitantly holding her hand out and placing it back down again

"He'll be fine, and I am fine. I'm just really frustrated with Flynn right now. The only reason he got this bad is because he kept trying to sneak away to go to class despite being too sick for it." Tanzo sighed "I spent all day trying to take care of him only for him to sabotage my efforts at every turn, and now we're here... so I'm just a tad stressed out at the moment."
Tanzo rubbed his temples in exasperation "Flynn is fun to be around a lot of the time, but he's a real headache sometimes. I'll be fine though, been dealing with his antics for two years now."

Hal didn't respond at first--it would take saying his name twice more to penetrate the panic attack that was threatening to overwhelm him. When he heard it, he took a deep breath, thoughts scattered for now as he focused in on the nurse's voice, lifting his head to look them in the eye and listen wordlessly. Slowly, his racing heart settled as he started the breathing exercises he was being told to do, breathing deep and slowly exhaling, doing repeating it several times. His heart was still pounding by the time he started truly calming, but he could at least notice more of his surroundings now, and he had enough presence of mind to thank the nurse.
Of course, all that didn't just get rid of the thoughts that had nearly brought him to panic, but it did allow him to stay calm even while they swirled around in his head. They were interrupted again when the interpreter arrived, but it wasn't one Hal knew, and he distracted himself some more by studying the man's cheetah markings and features while they waited. He wondered who the man was texting, perhaps Yashida since this wasn't her, obviously. Getting tips on how to work with Flynn?
He let out another sigh of relief when the doctor came out to tell them Flynn was going to be fine, and he slowly stoop up to stretch, realizing that this new interpreter was actually taller than Hanzo, even if it was only by a few cm. "Yeah, we are," he answered, since the others were a bit too distracted with their own conversations, maybe they hadn't heard the interpreter? They were standing on the opposite side of the room, after all, and he couldn't hear what they were saying to each other. So, he turned toward them and cupped a hand to one side of his mouth to project his voice to them. "Hey Tanzo, he should be waking up soon! Wanna head to his room with us?" Whether yes or no, he'd turn to follow the interpreter. Perhaps soon enough he could ask Flynn himself what had been up with that kiss.

Nekomiya was the first into the room, followed by the students. Flynn lay in the hospital bed with an oxygen mask over his mouth and an IV in his left arm. He seemed to be sleeping soundly now that the fever had been dealt with. The interpreter pulled over a few chairs from the room, setting his own up near Flynn's feet facing towards him so when he awoke he'd be able to see him clearly. He looked over to the kids and gave a friendly nodded, gesturing for them to take the other seats he had gathered.
Another hour passed before the problem student finally stirred and groaned. His arm reached for his pounding head as he slowly sat up, only for him to notice a tube sticking out of it. His eyes lazily made their way around the room, taking a solid three minutes to fully come to. When he did, his gaze lay on the one the always caught his attention first. He brought his arm up tiredly, flicking his wrist forward with his pointer and middle finger poping out to form the sign for 'throw'... or in this case...
"Hawl?" He voiced as he signed, though he sounded horse and shakey. Slowly he was able to make out who else was there. "Tawnzo... Kawshya..." He started trying to remember what had happened, but it was all a haze. He remembered laying down. Tanzo had brought soup. He starting having a really bad headache again and then... and then what? As always, he was an open book with the confusion painted clearly on his face. His eyes finally rested on the man in the room he didn't recognize who introduced himself as the interpreter sent to work with him. He explained that he was rushed to the hospital with a fever of 39.4 C (103 F) and that if his friends hadn't gotten him there when they did he would have been in serious danger.
Flynn took a three count to take in that information... then his eyes instantly darted to Tanzo. He could feel the agitation and knew full well he deserved it this time. A sheepish grin worked its way onto his face and he held up his pointer, pinky, and thumb to form the casual sign for 'I love you' used for friends and family.

Kachiya was starting to understand the gravity of flynns situation from the doctors, Tanzo and the interpreters explanation of what was going on. She was worried, letting out a sigh of relief when he came too, giving flynn a stern look, making a motion of slashing her neck with her hands. She had intended to communicate to him that he shouldnt speak but, to be safe she stated it verbally as well so that her intentions could properly be relayed to her friend.
"Im glad youre ok, but you cant be a hero if you work yourself sick all the time"
She chastised him before moving in to give him a hug, feeling a bit wobbly after the first few steps. She eventually had gotten her bearings and stepped back to let the other two get their peice in. She would take note of Hal, reminding herself to get aquainted with him and giving the interpreter proper thanks for being here for him

"You owe me big time for today you big dummy" Tanzo signed to Flynn, the sheepish apology defused some of his frustration... at least Flynn recognized how bad he screwed up... but he was still incredibly irritated with Flynn. It was going to be a little bit before the deaf boy was off the hook for this one. "You can start by letting this be a lesson. When I tell you you're sick and need rest... REST. Next time I really will chain you to the bedframe."

Hal was understandably antsy, unable to sit still while they waited for Flynn to wake, but at least he was no longer in a downward spiral of anxiety and panic. He just couldn't stay in a chair, and paced around the room, hands folded behind his back to keep them from fidgeting as well.
When he started coming to, there was enough time for Hal to turn and focus on the other boy. He even smiled when it became clear Flynn was ok, and when he saw his namesign accompany an attempt at verbalizing his name. A storm of emotions, relief, amusement as always at their little private joke, and of course confusion still lingering before, flooded through him, but it all resulted in him maintaining the smile, waiting for Kachiya and Tanzo to each have their respective say.
And then he did something that Flynn probably wouldn't be expecting--he initiated physical contact, just for a moment, stepping in and giving him an almost crushing hug. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it was a tight one, and then he stepped back. "I was so worried when Tanzo rushed off," he signed, and then, now that he'd gotten the worry out of the way, rushed right ahead and blurted out what had been on his mind the whole time--or well, whatever the signing equivalent of blurting was, though he did verbalize it too, as was his habit. "Why did you kiss me?"

Flynn sighed, taking the scolding he deserved. He nodded, knowing they were both right. Then... Hal hugged him. His eyes widened and his face flushed. Hal... hugged him?? Hal hated being touched. How? Why? He was even too flustered to make a comment about back when the first met and he had bet he'd get Hal to hug him. Which gave Hal a chance to ask a question that got him from flustered to down right shocked silent for a moment."Keess? W-w-waht?" His face went full red and his heart monitor raced so faced a couple nurses rushed in to see what was happening, but stood back when they saw he was awake and... seemingly fine?"Waht keess!? Wehn Keess!? Ai... Yoo... Waht!!!! " Flynn felt dizzy with the thought. Did he really kiss Hal!? When!? What happened!? Then another thought; if he kissed Hal out of the blue then Hal probably... The deaf boy grabbed Hal's hands without even thinking as he tried desperately to wrap his head around what might have happened. "OH GAWD AI KEESS YOO!!?? HOW!!?? WHAI! OH FUCK!! AI ROOEHN EHVREHTING!!! SAWRRY!! AI SAWRRY!! OH GAWD, HAWL!!!"Finally it got to the point the nurses stepped in as his heart rate started speeding to dangerous levels with him spiralling. The two women pushed passed the kids sitting around the bed to try and get him to calm down. The got him breathing and one asked for the others to step outside for a moment while they talked him down from whatever was happening.
It only took a few moments before one of the nurses let the others back in. Flynn was loudly sobbing and making near uncomprehensible apologies when they did, assuming that he just fucked everything up with Halldor.

Things went from zero to one hundred really fast. She barely had time to process what was happening right before her. She had given Tanzo a confused, worried look as Flynn had started to react badly to Hals question. She wasnt sure what to do here though she knew she didnt want to see her friend freak out like this
"Flynn? Flynn! Calm down!"
She exclaimed out of habit as she moved to give her friend a hug, moving only to allow the nurses access. She signed the words "OK" to him. The alphabet was something she took the time to make sure she learned again, hoping to convey that he'll be ok
"calm down, please"
She stated, trusting the interpreter to interpret

Tanzo was very much unprepared to deal with this particular crisis. Hal's news being as much a surprise to him as to Flynn here. But he would sign assertively "Calm down Flynn, nothing is ruined. If it were Hal wouldn't be here making sure you're ok. Deep breaths buddy"
As annoyed with Flynn as Tanzo was right now, he put that aside for the moment as he would continue trying to calm the boy down.

The last thing Hal expected was a freakout. He backed up half a step, worried he'd done something to make Flynn's condition worse again, but he found his hands grabbed, and in an instant, that got his attention. He slowly blinked, glanced down at Flynn's hands, and back up into his eyes, cocking his head as he tried, once again, to process what was happening, confusion in full evidence upon his face. He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could, Kachiya rushed in to help try and calm him down, then the nurses pushed past them both to check on Flynn's heartrate and he had to step back, though he never once took his eyes off Flynn.
And that puzzled frown remained even when the nurses let them back in range to communicate. "I just want to understand," he both spoke and signed, slowly and carefully, doing his best to show that despite his confusion, he was also calm and non-judgmental. "What did it mean?"
