[the words earn hizamaru another kiss - this one to his temple, and then another to his cheek, and one that presses against the corner of his mouth. all of them are soft, intended to be reassuring]

Mm, it's the elder brother's responsibility to be reliable when the younger is facing an ordeal.

You don't need to apologize - you only need to feel better.

[that's all higekiri cares about.

and also putting his blade through whoever's carelessness did this to his brother]

[leggymaru]

[He can't tell if he's trembling from the poison or because he made the mistake of seeking his brother's touch. Maybe both. He accepts the kisses, but his face doesn't stop being pinched sadly.]

I'll... be okay... I'll be okay. Elder brother...

If something happens... to me... Please--if something happens, be careful. Do you promise?

[banzais]

[hey fuck this, hige has decided that he hates it

he's just going to press another kiss to hizamaru's mouth directly if it'll get him to stop saying words like that]

... I promise, but that's not going to happen. This will be temporary. I'm going to find who has the antidote [way too quickly] and your body will be mended.

Don't be scared. I have a feeling that everything will be okay.

[horrible that he's right]

[leggymaru]

[Slowly, he tips his head down to force Higekiri not to kiss him, too fearful he will infect his brother. He does offer the smallest nuzzle with his cheek and temple.

He squeezes his eyes shut and then opens them.]

Elder brother... What if someone else requires the antidote...? Tomorrow... if something is accidentally touched? I can't...

[banzais]

We advise them not to - or use a cloth to cover our mouths, and gloves on our hands to prevent us from touching it. You couldn't have known... but that doesn't mean you should suffer.

[he'll just softly nuzzle back then, a small motion to try to reassure]

I'll see Chuuya tonight - and if we use the antidote, then I'll ask for another to be put in the gift shop so we can buy it.

[leggymaru]

[Unfurling his arms is slow and very stiff, but he manages. He can get them somewhat around Higekiri's middle, and the rest of his upper body--shoulders, head--droops onto the brother's shoulder a moment, exhausted.]

...Thank you, Higekiri. [A pause.] Please... forgive me for things I may say... while this body feels the way it does.

[banzais]

[ . . . . . . . .

you're going to have to forgive him because he has no idea how to react to that. who is higekiri. he blinks once, twice, obviously thrown at hearing his name - or any proper name - from hizamaru's mouth? he's so terribly thrown that he doesn't even know how to respond for a second]

... ah...

It's fine - I'll forgive you...

[ . . .

who the fuck is higekiri

he hugs his brother back anyway?]

[leggymaru]

[He does not realize how much he has turned Higekiri's world upside down, it's fine. He kind of just stays there for a long handful of minutes.]

Thank you, elder brother.

[And then he reluctantly starts trying to pull himself away. It's hard, but he feels... awful really. And he's wet and disgusting.]

I'll wait for you.

[banzais]

[who the fuck!! is higekiri!!! who is higekiri to hizamaru!!!!

he actually visibly relaxes when he hears 'elder brother' again...]

Mm - I'll help you get undressed, and then I'll see who I can find.

[leggymaru]

[his very special big brother higekiri...]

Okay. [He won’t resist, but he may flinch several times because his body has just decided it’s going to be startled by literally everything.]

Please be careful. Please let Dimitri-san stay in your other room for a while. Is that okay, elder brother?
