This is an au where the killing game didn't take place, but they're all still their "in-game" selves.
I'm going to try to write in 3rd person. I've never done this before, so please let me know if there's anything I can do better/different (or if you just like 1st person pov's better).

The time was 4:13pm, and Shuichi was currently rushing to the hospital. He was in a panic; going over the speed limit, maybe accidentally running a red light or two... He wasn't really thinking about obeying the proper traffic laws at that moment. He had a perfectly logical reason to be so panicked. But, to fully understand, it would be best to take some time to look back at the events that took place beforehand.
It was about 3:30pm on a Saturday. Shuichi was sitting in his apartment, occupied by him and boyfriend Kaito of course, reading a book on the couch. Kaito had plans with his friends that day, so Shuichi was home alone. It's not that Shuichi didn't like the fact that he spends time with his friends; he thought it was good that Kaito had the chances to go out and have fun every once in a while! He just honestly missed him. Then again, this is coming from the guy who starts to miss his lover when he's just in the other room. If only the world knew exactly how hard the detective fell for the astronaut.
Before he left, Momota did make sure to shower his boyfriend in so, so many kisses. And of course, we can't forget the tight hugs as well. Kaito had also promised that he would make it up to him, even though Shuichi insisted multiple times that there was nothing he had to make up for. But of course, Kaito always has something planned out for Shuichi when he can't spend every moment of his life with him.
Shuichi started to get bored of the book, seeing as this was his 3rd time reading it. He's a bookworm, and this happened to be his favorite book. Right when the detective set the book down on the couch, his cell phone started to ring. He wasn't really the biggest fan of talking on the phone, but of course he will for other's sakes. He took the phone out from his pocket and looked at it, hoping a little bit that it was just some random number he didn't have to answer. But it wasn't; the person calling him was Rantaro. This was strange, because Rantaro was supposed to be hanging out with Kaito.
"Hello?" Shuichi asked, picking up the phone.
"Hey, Saihara..." Rantaro answered. "You're.. gonna want to hear this..."
Something was wrong. The tone of Amami's voice, the random calling, the detecive's intuition; it was obvious that things weren't right. A million worries started to flood Shuichi's mind. Did something happen to Kaito? Did he not show up? Did he disappear? Did something happen to him? Or maybe he... No, no. As Shuichi's worries grew, his thoughts became more absurd and intense. Kaito would never do anything bad to him. He's never say anything bad about him either. He knew that. .....Right?
"W-What's up?" the detective stuttered.
"Well... Long story short, we had to take Kaito to the hospital. He-...." Rantaro trailed off. ".... I'll let him tell you what happened. But, you might want to come over here as soon as possible. I'll see you soon. "
The other line hung up, and Shuichi froze. Kaito was... hurt? What happened? Why wouldn't Rantaro tell him what happened? After the slight panic attack, Shuichi realized something: he needed to go see Kaito, now. So, he quickly got up from the couch and went to his room to grab his keys. Once he snatched the keys from the dresser, he quickly made his way out the door.
The detective practically ran down the stairs into the parking lot, definitely skipping two or three on his way down. He sprinted towards his car, not really caring if anyone thought he was crazy or whatnot for being in such a rush. Shuichi put the key in the ignition, started the car, and quickly started to make his way towards the hospital. There was only one hospital in town, and Rantaro would've specified if they were somewhere else. He continued on the roads, going over the speed limit just so he could see if his lover was okay.
And here we are now, 4:13pm. Shuichi continued his way to the hospital, getting closer and closer. He eventually made it, rushing into the parking lot and swerving into a parking spot. He didn't care if he was parked crooked or not, the only thing on Shuichi's mind right now was Kaito. Shuichi slammed the car door, locked his car, and started running up to the hospital entrance. Once he made it in, he went up to the front desk to talk to the receptionist.
"How can I help you?" the front desk lady asked.
"I'm here to visit Kaito Momota." he said, nearly out of breath from running.
The lady typed on her computer for a bit, then spoke again.
"Third floor, room 217."
"Thank you." Shuichi said before running off again.
The blue haired boy quickly made his way to the elevator and pressed the button for the 3rd floor. Of course, the elevator had to stop at the 2nd floor to pick up a few more passengers, and Shuichi tried his best to ignore them and not be awkward. When the doors finally opened, he briskly walked down the hallways, scanning each door for room 217.
214...
215....
216...
That's where the rooms came to an end. On that hallway, of course. Shuichi walked down to the end of the hall, and turned to the right. That's when he started walking down the connected hallway. It only took him a few steps, since 217 was the next room to come. The detective walked up to the door, and paused. Anxiety filled him.
What if Kaito was really hurt?
What if he hurt his head and doesn't remember me?
What if this is the wrong room?
What if this was somehow my fault?
What if-
The bad thoughts would not give the poor guy a break. He developed a cold sweat, and his hands began to shake. Part of him thought about running away. Part of him didn't want to go in there. But of course, he could never abandon the love of his life. Not after everything the other has done for him. After hesitating a few more seconds, he knocked on the door. He waited for a few more long seconds, and the door slowly opened.
"Hey Shuichi, you can come in. He's awake, and I stayed here with him until you got here." Rantaro welcomed.
He stepped back, letting Shuichi walk inside the room. Rantaro shut the door behind him, and Shuichi looked upon the hospital bed to see Kaito. He didn't seem hurt at all; when the injured male saw his boyfriend standing at the other side of the room, his eyes lit up and his smile grew large. One wouldn't be able to tell he was hurt, that is if it wasn't for the cast on his left arm, and the bandages on his right cheek and a few on his chest, most likely covering stitches.
"Shuichi!" the astronaut exclaimed, extending his right arm.
Shuichi could tell what he wanted. He practically ran over to his boyfriend and held him tight. The other wrapped his non-hurt arm around his lover. Both of them only wanted to be close to each other. They both wanted to stay like that forever, but anxiety soon came over Shuichi again, quickly forcing him to break the embrace.
"I-I didn't hurt you or mess anything up, right?" Shuichi asked, a bit panicked.
"Of course not! You worry too much, Shu." Kaito answered.
"Yeah, about you."
Kaito chuckled, and grabbed his boyfriend's hand.
"What even happened?" Shuichi asked, sitting down in a chair next to the bed.
"Well, uh..." Kaito laughed nervously.
"He fell off a roof." Rantaro cut in.
"What?!"
"Yeah. We and a few other guys found this abandoned building. So, we explored it a bit, and Kaito got on the roof. Then, next thing I know, I heard a crash, run outside, and there's this idiot laying in a bush." Rantaro explained.
"Hey! I'm not an idiot!" Kaito exclaimed.
It took Shuichi a minute to process what happened. When he finally did, he just couldn't help but let out a small laugh. Kaito was okay, he just, did something a little... stupid.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?!" Kaito looked at Shuichi.
"That was a little dumb..." the detective smiled.
"You're supposed to be on my side here!"
"Heh... Sorry, but it's kind of true."
Kaito looked away, his face showing a slight tint of red from embarrassment. Shuichi leaned over and kissed Kaito on the cheek, making the astronaut smile. This just made Shuichi start kissing him more, all over his face.
"Stop, stop! I'm supposed to be mad!" Kaito laughed.
"I love you!" Shuichi told him.
"I love you too!" Kaito replied, finally giving him a kiss.
