[For the first time in their entire relationship, he's completely numb.
Deep down he always knew it'd come down to this, given her track record. One of these days she would really get herself killed, and that's part of why he'd been fighting his feelings so hard. (The other part being, of course, that she was always picking on him. Funny how that doesn't even matter now.)
He was used to her getting herself almost killed, she was the woman who ended up in the hospital after tripping and landing on a fucking tree branch after all. Every time she'd end up in this situation he'd hide his worry behind anger, then pick on her for being such a clumsy idiot.
But right now all of that seems a million miles away. This isn't just a case of "oh, she tripped and hit her head and needs to be waited on hand and foot", she's fucking dying.

And he doesn't know what he'd do without her.]
