"Kouichi!!Can you help me wash my back? I can't quite reach everywhere." Kouji sat in the tub, hair in a big soapy mess down his back, arms straining to wash that final part of his body to get clean. [ lumincuswclf ]

“Don’t strain yourself, Kouji,” Kouichi chided as he rolled up his sleeves and pants so he could sit at the edge of the tub and reach the shower head. Once he was settled in so he wasn’t getting too wet, Kouichi combed his twin’s hair out of the way of a warm jet of water to wash the suds down the drain.

He was rather used to taking care of his mother in a fairly similar way.

“Your scars are still healing, so please be careful, Kouji...” of course this was talking to the warrior of light who was always ready to leap out the nearest window at a moment’s notice if he thought it would save somebody.

A fond sigh and Kouichi turned the hose onto a softer setting so he could help wash his brother’s back properly. The elder twin secretly treasured the time he could spend like this, so conventionally making up for their lost childhood.

Kouichi hesitated to put a hand on his brother’s shoulder, fingers curling instead on shadows. What in the worlds could Kouichi say that might lift Kouji’s spirits, when it was always the other way around...  Especially now that “we’ll get them next time” sounded more like an unfulfilled mantra that had yet to work out.

The dark warrior thus stood regretting words he wasn’t sure of, guiltily turning his head down. But as he did so, Kouichi caught sight of something hidden against the ground - a digi egg that had survived the war somehow.

Taking the fragile data, the warrior strode towards his twin. At least there was one life that lived, and thus evidence that their efforts were not all wasted.

“We’re going to fight,” Kouichi said in conviction. “And, we’re going to win!”
