Drabble 1
It was the Doctor that interrupted their reunion, putting a gloved hand on his patient's shoulder. It was at that point that the tangled huddle of children realised that Kouichi had slumped tiredly onto his brother in the excitement.
'Ni-san!' Kouji momentarily panicked, and understandably so; the fresh scare still burnt his mind.
'I'm fine,' the other mumbled.
'Unlikely,' the Doctor said, overhearing. 'Considering your heart stopped for a few minutes.' Indeed, he could feel the slight trembling. 'But I'm here to sort all that out, and the rest of you children will have to come back tomorrow.'
No amount of protests would sway the Doctor, and the five subdued yet content children filed out of the emergency room.
'Can we come back tomorrow?' Kouji asked urgently.
'Visiting hours only,' a nurse replied, before smiling kindly under her face-mask. 'Don't worry; we'll take good care of him.'
Still, they were a little anxious when the doors closed behind them, though the fact that Tomoki had managed to spot a tiny wave from Kouichi rested their minds. Still, Kouji thought firmly, he couldn't be completely satisfied until his brother was discharged with a clean bill of health. And the others agreed.
