When Kamui was ill he hated being left alone, this was something that Subaru had been aware of for a very long time now. Normally he would have stayed by his brother’s side until he was moderately healthy again, sleeping and reading; occasionally watching television if they happened to be in a world with such a thing, while his twin would drift in and out of hazy dreams.
Unfortunately in this world that hadn’t been possible.
His brother had come down ill, far worse than Subaru had seen in a long time, and was effectively bedridden from day one. Subaru was left with no choice but to leave his brother each day to go out and search for supplies amongst the brief research which he felt needed to be done. It was often a difficult task, Kamui originally latching onto his arm as he tried to leave before changing to holding onto him during the night, keeping the other vampire trapped and then left with the struggle of prying himself free and bolting out of the room. It was painful to do that, tear himself away from his brother in his time of need, and leave for hours on end with little to show for his efforts.
On this night though Subaru had finally found something that would hopefully help his brother a little bit, the issued tablets and medical advice doing very little for the sick vampire who seemed to be slowly wasting away under covers and various blankets. It wasn’t a miracle cure; in fact it wasn’t a cure of any type at all. Merely a movie, some light food and his brother coming home early for the night. Maybe if he stayed close to the other twin then he’d cheer up a little, all the frustration of being sick in the first place surely wasn’t doing him any favours.
Subaru slipped quietly into the bedroom of the apartment building, noting that his dear brother was asleep, tossing and turning but very much asleep. He carefully placed the film into the player by the television, picking up the remote with his now free hand before moving to the bed itself. With a well practiced ease the vampire quietly positioned the cups of tea he had brought into the area on the bedside table along with the remote. Slowly he slipped under the covers, immediately curling close to his brother’s flushed and rather frail form, his head lightly resting on the bare and clammy shoulder.
He could hear his brother mumble something, a muddle of sounds not quite forming words, before eyelids opened so very slightly. Kamui awkwardly fumbled around in an attempt to turn to face the one next to him, only just making it onto his back before giving up. Subaru carefully brushed the hair off his brother’s face, pausing for the barest of moments to simply look at him and then settling down by his side. A small sigh of content from the sickened vampire as his head moved to rest on his brother’s. Subaru flicked his eyes upwards to see the other looking back with a glazed expression, small smiles being exchanged from both soon followed by eyes dropping and the shuffle of the two moving slightly closer.
Kamui mumbled something, Subaru made a vague sound of agreement. As long as his brother was happy he could take some time off from those rounds, make up for the time he’d already spent apart. It didn’t matter if he was risking illness himself.
As long as Kamui was happy then he’d be happy.
