On his way to Kaoru's room, Hikaru thought about what his brother had said. What did he mean by 'remembering'? Was he supposed ro remember something?

He sighed, making his way through the corridors and trying to avoid the weird nurses. It looked as if the guy who told him about the murder has known Kaoru for a while.
But that would mean...

He shook his head and decided to ask Kaoru directly instead of agonising over it.

Finally he arrived in front of Kaoru's door. He smiled in anticipation and knocked.

Just the sound of Hikaru knocking made Kaoru smile and he tried not to fall over himself on the way to the door.

"Coming!" Childish eagerness took over as he practically bounded the rest of the way over, gripped the doorknob tight in his hand and swung it open.

The sight on the other side of the door was enough to floor him and send the smile sliding off his face.

God Hikaru looked different.

Or did that mean he'd changed and not realised it? It kind of made sense for Kaoru to have got used to his own reflection, with no one else to measure his appearance by, but he couldn't quite make out what the difference was. Was he thinner? Untidy? Older?

Did it even matter?

"Just..." Kaoru began unsteadily, "Just... get in here." With an uncharacteristically sudden action, he reached shakily out for Hikaru's arm, making to pull him into the room, pull him close enough to hide against.

He didn't want to think anymore.

Hikaru was a bit surprised when he saw the expression on Kaorus face. That was not what he had expected.

Kaoru looked upset and Hikaru and absolutely no idea why. He stumbled into the room as Kaoru pulled him inside.

There was something wrong with this brother. He surpressed a sigh and wrapped his arms firmly around Kaoru.

"It's alright. I'm here now."

Behind them the door swung closed with a soft click and Kaoru sighed, pressing closer to bury his head in Hikaru's shoulder. It would be nice just to stay like this. Fall asleep, maybe. He could probably manage to sleep standing up.

"I just..." He tried weakly, "I'm just glad to see you."

Where was he supposed to start without convincing Hikaru he was crazy? Kaoru couldn't even be sure how much he'd already been told by others, if anything at all, or how much he'd be able to tell himself in one go. Where could he start? With the easier stuff, maybe?

Reluctantly, he pulled away, keeping a hold of Hikaru's hand and his eyes trained to his brother's feet.

"We should sit down." He suggested quietly. "There's a lot to explain."
