Ken felt groggy as he tried to open his eyes. The afternoon sun was shining through the windows upon his face, giving off warm sensation.
He looked around the room and was shocked to see that he was in the hospital.
The first thing that he felt was a sweaty palm attached to his own hand. He was about to yank it away until he recognized the culprit.
"Daichi?"
His voice was hoarse and his throat was dry, likely from not getting enough water.
Hearing his name, Daichi stirred from his slumber. He gripped onto Ken's hand tightly as he lifted his gaze to see his brother watching him in puzzlement.
Ken could see the tear stains left upon Daichi's baby face, a sign that he had been bawling for some time now.
"K-Ken!?"
Daichi's eyes lit up with pure joy as he saw Ken's dumbfounded expression. He didn't care that he was being stared at weirdly, he moved forward for a hug.
