Work Text:
"sunny!" his sister yelled as he stormed out of the room angrily. his grip on the violin was turning his knuckles white. he stomped up the stairs, he was so tired, he just wanted to go back to sleep... but he stopped right at the top of the stairs. and he turned around. he stared at the bottom, an intrusive train of thought ran through his head. 'throw it. throw it. throwitthrowitthrow-' sunny started hyperventilating as the thought became louder and louder-

a crash.

he froze and his breathing halted. he slowly looked down at the bottom of the stairs shakily exhaled. basil stood a mere few feet away, staring down at the smashed violin in shock. basil slowly walked towards the stairs, avoiding the wooden splinters surrounding the bottom of the stairs. sunny was beginning to panic over smashing his violin while basil made his way up the stairs to comfort his best friend.

mari had rushed out of the piano room after the sound of the violin breaking, but the rushing had made her bad knee act up. basil got there before mari did. sunny was hyperventilating, barely standing, he looked weak. basil wanted so desperately to hug him, but he knew that might've been too much. he placed a hand on sunny's free one, but it seems it stressed him out too much. "don't.. touch me!" sunny yelled, yanking his hand away from basil's and his own mouth.

mari got up and ran forward, worried, but she was too late. sunny, out of sheer panic, accidentally shoved basil down the stairs. the two siblings stared in horror as one of their closest friends collided with the bottom of the stairs and the remains of the violin. the crack was sickening. sunny couldn't tell if it was basil or the violin that made the noise. mari moved first, shifting the flower crown basil had been wearing when she went to check for a pulse.

sunny crept down the stairs, trying to convince himself basil was just sleeping. he crouched down next to mari, and asked her, "he's okay.. right?" sunny looked desperate. mari looked pained. she set basil's b- she set basil down and rushed to the phone. sunny didn't know why, basil was fine! sunny reached down and pulled the flower crown up a little to see basil's face but-

he froze. that was the moment he really faced it. basil's mouth still slightly agape, his eyes wide. a few bleeding cuts from the splinters. the flower crown fell over basil's left eye when it was dropped and sunny stared in horror. he heard screeching sirens. his head felt fuzzy. he couldn't think straight. the massive amount of stress all at once was hurting his head. he shut his eyes for a moment, taking deep breaths, but next thing he knew when he opened his eyes, he was sitting next to mari in a hospital hallway.

no, wait he wasn't in the hospital anymore. this room.. is just white.

welcome to white space.
