398 Things

A man wearing a white, doctor's coat, checked the few papers in his hands before looking at the two people in the room. "There is nothing wrong with his body, all the tests have acceptable results. Although his body is considerably weak, it's not to the extent that might bring him trouble for now, however, he needs to take care of his body more in order to improve his health. I'll give him some pills he needs to take, mostly vitamins and such. Overall, there is nothing threatening his life or any problems with his health. Still, considering that he was unconscious for a long while, it'd be nice if he stayed in the hospital for another night, only to reassure that there is nothing wrong."

Kairen pulled down the sleeves of his clothes and leaned back. Aaron peeked at him once before nodding at the doctor. With that, the doctor turned around and left the room. "You were unconscious for a whole day without any reason, huh?" @@@@

Instead of responding to Aaron, Kairen pulled the blanket over him while still sitting on top of the bed in silence. "Either the doctors don't know how to do their job, or a certain someone is hiding things from me," Aaron huffed as he glared at his brother on the bed, "Again!"

His brother was overwhelmed by anger. "Yeah, yeah, nothing is wrong at all! It's only natural to suddenly drop faint here and there!"

'You can just directly question me instead of nagging like an aunt...' A faint smile formed on Kairen's lips. He lowered his head so that his brother wouldn't see it. "It's not something that doctors would understand."

"Ah yeah? Yes, sir! Please tell me more about it!"

Kairen touched his face. What did his brother mean? Kairen was still smiling! He didn't ask anything though. The room was silent for a few minutes. "I thought you'd throw a tantrum about not wanting to stay at the hospital and wanting to go home. I don't remember there being a single time when you stayed in the hospital without nagging and begging me to allow you to go."

Aaron was right. Kairen hated hospitals. "If it helps you feel less anxious, then I'm fine with it."

"...." Aaron opened his mouth but said nothing. He stared at Kairen while blinking his eyes. "...I'm only capable of making you worry, after all," he mumbled as he pulled the blanket closer. "...." Aaron blinked again and again. "No there is definitely something wrong with you!"

This was the first time this little stupid brother of his was acting like this! Right at that moment, Aaron heard a low voice that barely escaped the other boy's tightly closed lips. "...Yes..."

No, there was one time when he'd seen this little stupid brother of his in such a state. That was when they'd just lost their parents. But nothing significant has happened recently!

The boy lowered his head even more, "I'm scared..."

Kairen was finally finding answers to his many questions, but he wished he wouldn't get his answers in such a way. He felt like if this kept going on, he'd eventually lose himself, Kairen would lose to Reynold, and he'd forget his own memories again. Kairen was scared. "What are you scared of? Hey! Look at me! A-are you crying? Ren?" His brother came closer and examined Kairen in panic. Seeing him acting like this despite being so angry a few seconds ago, Kairen couldn't help but chuckle. "No, I'm not crying."

Kairen had to ignore everything related to Reynold, even the fears that person brought to him.
