Collapse [Prince of Tennis, second-year Rikkai gen]
Set during second year, Yukimura collapses (again? This is probably set after Abridged which was the first time), 363 words. Originally from here (LJ)/here (DW).

"How can you be so calm?!" Sanada demands at Yukimura in his hospital bed. "You just collapsed!"
"Well, it seems like one of us should be calm about it." Yukimura replies. "And you chose your position on the issue first."
"Even if I was calm about it, it wouldn't make you lose it," Sanada says almost sulkily. It makes Yukimura smile a little, despite everything.
"No, you're right," Yukimura agrees. "But I don't know anything yet, and until I know what is going on I'm in the best place; probably right now while we're talking, they're doing tests using all that blood they drew." Sanada pulls a face.
"Yeah," he says, "that wasn't fun to watch."
Yukimura laughs this time.
"No-one made you watch!" He says. "In fact, if I remember rightly, they asked you to leave the room."
"Yeah well, nobody tells me what to do," Sanada replies, folding his arms across his chest.
"You would have had to go if I hadn't requested that you be allowed stay," Yukimura points out. He doesn't find out what Sanada's reply to that is, because a doctor steps into the room and they both fall silent. He introduces himself and begins to ask Yukimura questions.
"Have you in the recent past had the flu, or food poisoning maybe? Or any minor surgery?"
"Minor surgery?" Yukimura asks in surprise. "No. I had a stomach bug a little while ago, which when I think about it could've been food poisoning... Do you suspect something?"
"We have a few alleyways to explore." The doctor replies non-commitally. "What about numbness or tingling in your fingers or toes? Or in your arms and legs?"
"I play tennis daily, for long periods at a time if necessary. A little tingling or numbness wouldn't really register to me."
"He did say he couldn't feel his legs just before he collapsed, though," Sanada says suddenly.
"I did?" Yukimura asks. "I don't remember that. I don't remember much though."
"So you can feel them now?" The doctor asks. He moves down the bed and removes the cover at the end to expose Yukimura's feet. The doctor squeezes Yukimura's big toe. "You feel that?"
Sanada looks at Yukimura when he doesn't answer immediately; Yukimura just looks thoughtful.
"Actually, I don't."
