tw: hospital, accidents, lost person

Regulus was pacing around the living room, biting his thumbnail. James left to look for their son almost three hours ago. He had already called Lily and Pandora to make sure she wasn't at their place; he called Remus and Sirius to ask if he had gone to visit their daughter. He even called Barty and Evan to see if Harry had come to their studio for another piercing without asking his parents. None of them had seen him that day, but they promised that they would let him know if they saw his son.

Harry never caused any problems or ignored calls from either of his parents, so all four of them were going ballistic since he didn’t come home after his curfew.

Three hours, thirty-seven minutes, and eighteen seconds into James’ searching, Regulus’ phone rang. He practically lunged at it to see Draco’s number on the screen.

“Draco?” he asked, a little panicked. Why was his son’s boyfriend calling him?

“Um, hi uncle,” he said carefully. “So, a funny thing happened.” His cousin's son laughed nervously.

“Draco, get to the point." Regulus tried not to shout at the boy, but he couldn't; he was too scared. “Harry went missing, and I’m sorry, but I don’t really have time for your funny stories.”

“Yeah, about that.” He could almost hear Draco clutching his neck in a nervous gesture. “Harry may or may not have had an accident.” Regulus felt all the blood draining from his face. His son had an accident. What the fuck?

“What do you mean an accident?” he asked, his voice strangely calm.

Draco cleared his throat. “Well, we went to that skatepark near the forest, and he tried to do this new trick he saw somewhere, but landed badly and hit his head—nothing serious really considering all the previous injuries.” The boy laughed nervously. “Anyway, I checked if he was alright, and he said that he’s fine, so we went to get something to eat, and then he started acting weird, and when we went out, he puked and started sweating and kinda fainting, and I got scared and called an ambulance, and...”

“So basically, he has a concussion?" Regulus concluded, gritting his teeth a little. Harry might be smart, but James passed all his recklessness on to him. “In which hospital are you?” he sighed, already grabbing all the necessary stuff and texting James to come back.

Draco gave him the information, and with Regulus’ final ‘okay, see you there’ he hung up.

James arrived five minutes later, and his husband didn’t even give him time to turn off the car.

“We’re going to the hospital,” Regulus announced, entering the address into the navigation. James looked at him with big, scared eyes.

“What happened? Is he alright? Oh no, is he d-“

“Don’t you dare finish that sentence. He had a concussion; Draco’s with him. Now, let’s go.”

They drove as fast as the traffic let them, with Regulus still explaining the situation to his husband. James’ hands were gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Trying to calm him even the tiniest bit, Regulus started running his fingers through the other’s hair.

When they finally arrived, they rushed into the hospital, breathlessly babbling Harry's name to the woman at the reception desk. Getting to the room she said he was in took them less than three minutes, and the first thing they saw was Draco pacing in front of the door.

As he noticed them, he strutted in their direction, already talking fast about how it’s not Harry’s fault and pleading with them not to be mad at them.

“Draco!” James cut in. “We’re not mad; we were just worried.”

“Well, I am a little mad,” Regulus said when the boy looked at him. “Why didn’t you call earlier? We, his moms and uncles, have been looking for him for the last four hours!"

Draco looked at him with wet eyes. “I was just so worried and scared,” he mumbled as a lonely tear rolled down his cheek. At the sight, Regulus pulled the kid into his arms, whispering his apologies and explaining that they were all worried and scared, too.

James must’ve noticed the doctor, because Regulus heard him asking what exactly happened and how their son was doing.

“He’s awake and as well as he could now, but he needs to spend the night, just in case,” the doctor replied, letting all three in.

When they saw Harry smiling a lazy smile, all the bad emotions went away. They rushed to his bed, both his dads close to crying, asking how he was doing.

“I’m alright; my head hurts a little, but it’s fine. The doctor said it should go away in a few days,” Harry answered, sounding a little tired. Then he turned to Draco. “Thank you, Cariño,” his boyfriend just smiled wobbly in response.

“I should get going,” he said, sounding apologetic. “Mom is waiting outside, pissed as Hulk.” All three Potters laughed at Draco, who stepped closer to Harry, giving him a kiss on the forehead. “I’ll try to come back tomorrow. Bye, mon chéri.”

As he walked out, Regulus and James started fussing around their son again. When he told them he was feeling sleepy, they turned the lights off and started gathering the necessary things to go talk with the hospital staff. Harry turned to them.

“Can you sleep with me tonight? I don’t want to be alone,” the boy said, sounding as if he were five and had a nightmare again. James and Regulus looked at each other, having a silent conversation about how they could go talk to someone later and call in sick at work in the morning.

“Of course, niño,” James replied, taking off his shoes and lying down on Harry's right. Regulus joined them soon after, lying down on his son's other side, cuddling him, and softly singing the song Harry always liked to sleep to as a child.

As the boy fell asleep, his fathers looked at each other, kissing their son's head and then each other.

It had been the most stressful moment of their lives since Harry was born, but now, in the quiet hospital room, lying together, they felt at peace.

also sorry to my 3 or so francophone followers that i now use ur language purely as some type of echolalic vocal stim. for some reason beaucoup de and avec have replaced lots of and with in my entirely english mental narration. i mumble bonjour merci beaucoup bonjour bonjour to myself and then get confused when someone nearby responds ça va. almost like i forgot french was real?

[espressoristretto-patronum]

Okay, my goal of this month, the pride month, is to find the courage to publish at least one chapter of my MC Tori x Poppy long-fic that I've started writing. Work and adult life permitting, of course.

I know that I won't be 100% proud of it, damn not even 50%, but hey, I'm battling a huge self-critisism (I should stop comparing myself to others, for example) and I'm writing in a language that isn't my mother tongue. I still cringe when I read my stuff or hear myself speaking English, but I know that a few years ago I wouldn't have even dared to have a Tumblr blog. Of that I'm a little bit proud 😊

[free-luigi-mangione]

also okay i'm just gonna say this once and for all please please stop apologising for english not being your first language i promise you y'all are doing extremely fine and well!!! i'm proud of y'all being able to interact in multiple languages and y'all are able to express yourselves completely alright too :D there's NO need to apologise about anything!!! if anybody speaks multiple languages and happens to not be as good in english as they are in other languages, let me tell you, y'all are already doing way way better than most people on like reddit who only speak english and still don't understand what simple things written in the motions mean. and since unlike them you're able to communicate perfectly fine in multiple languages, you should be proud of yourselves too and remember never let english take away your own language or any other language, english is only the lingua franca because of colonialism and imperialism and we should NOT let them have our tongue!!!

You will meet the dumbest people in life at work

[trashworldblog]

one of the rare joys of being a native engish speaker is when a multilingual person asks "how do you say..." and i get to say some nonsensical word or phrase (for example an "arms race") and they just look at me like I broke all the laws of language that they know and understand and use to communicate in the country they live in for 20+ years.

and then go on with their life, forever smarter then me.

[tj-crochets]

Hey y’all! Do you know of any good sites to learn non-baby ASL for phrases like can I pet your dog, are you okay, do you need help, please help me, or other things like that? Mostly I just want to be able to communicate with one of my neighbors in an emergency, but also she walks her dogs around the neighborhood and they are adorable and I really want to be able to ask if I can pet them, but googling it is just getting me baby ASL tutorial videos and idk if that’s the same

Wttt/wttsh weak 1 dogs and gov

Alaska was absolutely heartbroken when he learned about Laika, full-blown sobbing. It also wouldn’t shock me if Texas was really fucking sad when he learned about it to. I think that they are both giant dog lovers, like will cry when you see those ads on TV for shelter animals. Now this leads me into my next part. The states definitely have doggy play dates. Just like once a year everybody will meet up and bring their pets. I think it might’ve started as a doggy play date but eventually just turned into pet play dates. Hey, it’s a good way of socializing your animals with other animals to make them better with it.

Something that has lingered on my mind is why the fucking hell can Gov not speak Spanish. Like for those who do not know the US has no official language, well, English is the most common and states are allowed to have official languages. But the US federal government doesn’t. Is this an ability that IDC has? Why can’t he? Is he just pretending that he can't? It wouldn't shock me, but also still, it would. Like it makes sense that he can’t understand Louisiana’s French, because Louisiana French is not the same as standard Parisian French. Which most likely if Gov was taught to speak French when he was younger before really there was a bigger standardization of French. Like it wouldn’t shock me if Gov could speak multiple languages. At the very least, he should be able to speak English and Latin because well when the US was being created, this would’ve been the language taught in academia and talk to people who ran government and did law. Aka most of the founding fathers did have a translator for the Spanish empire, did the Spanish empire just speak English because let’s be honest I don’t think he would. Spain seems petty enough just not to do that, especially at that time. I don’t know about modern España. They seem pretty chill lax, to be honest. Except Catalonia what the hell is going on there, I mean like I know what it is but still, wtf.

I love the idea that government is short, I don’t know I just can see it. Probably like 5’4 or something. Hay, you’re still taller than me gov. I think him being tiny is just my desire to put him in a jar and shake him around. I know that’s weird. I can’t say anything else. It’s just weird.

and please dreamtonics or any third part synthv dev anyone i am BEGGING you to make more english synths with non-american accents i dont mind the americans but i am GREEDY and i want MORE

[mobius-m-mobius]

feel free to ignore this but omg you know thai?????? im beyond elated omg???? ALSO that tag is basically the equivalent of incoherent crying sound like ‘waaaahhh sniff sob wailing waeeee’ lmao 😂 (oh your thai spelling is perfect btw)

Omg no I felt the exact same when I saw your tags!! Which definitely had me cracking up because there's nothing better than sobbing incoherently over Lokius as all of us are proof of every day lmao 🤣

I'm half Thai but grew up in the US having never been taught the language and didn't get into anything Thai related until college so the level at which I can speak/understand anything is tragically low and what mainly gets me by is watching more Thai shows than English and Google Translate, lol 😅 But I was SO excited seeing you know Thai too, what a cool thing to share in the fandom 🥰💖

[analogboii]

sometimes when im trying to get my gms attention or trying to tell her like 'it comes with cheese' but she isn't listening and I'm feeling like a menace, I'll cycle through telling her in, like, five different languages. typically french grabs her attention the best 💀
