Who: Ichiru Kiryuu & Zero Kiryuu
When: September 21st
Where: Hades Temple
What: Ichiru regians his memories of Zero and things happen, including probably sappy sibling times.

Ichiru woke up feeling very strange from his slumber. It was still late in the night. He's not sure what time but he woke up with sweat pooling down his back. He can't remember why or what but it's has been a constant things. He can't remember anything when he wakes up. It was as if it was all ripped from him. He didn't know what but he recalled waking sometimes these days.

Of course, he had sometimes forgotten that he has a God and those emotions that he felt, were very much invading Zero. His brows knitted together briefly as he tried to regain his composure. Something felt off, but he didn't know what. It would be nice if he could comfortably sleep with Zero by his side-- wait.

"Eh??"

There's a bit of confusion in his tone as he realized he thought about something-- that he recalled something. He put a hand to his head. Was he dreaming again?

He didn't make excuses, or offer apologies. None of it will be able to undo what has been done. This he knows. There's no fixing this. After all, he was still a fragment of himself. He could hardly offer anything to Zero. Not that he ever did to begin with. He always took advantage of his brother. It was natural for Zero to be in a constant state of anguish.

"You honestly, haven't changed at all..." he almost mused lightly before adding quietly, "Zero-nii-san."

He stiffens in his hold, eyes widening as he pulls back far enough to see him while those words resonate deep within.

"Ichi...ru?"

His name comes out almost in a whisper, the tone agitated, afraid of the answer.

"Hmm...?"

He's still processing the memories, but he didn't seem to deny the tone.

"You look like you've seen a ghost now."

He's not trying to make light of the situation but Zero's confused face was a little worth the small chuckle.

He clings to him then, his arms locking around him, holding him tight almost afraid to let go.

"You idiot."

"And here I thought you'd get angry instead."

Calling him an idiot. C'mon Zero.

Of course, he lets it happen. He can tell how much Zero had held back prior to knowing about his memories. At some point he linked his arms around his brother as well, his forehead pressing against Zero's now. He's still mentally exhausted from all of this, regardless.

By this point, he's been through the wringer, twice! He's running on fumes here.

"How long?"

How long have you known?!

Ichiru can't blame him, so he's taking this as he goes. He doesn't hesitate to answer because there is nothing to hide.

"When I woke up earlier. It was hazy at first but when you came, I was able to confirm it. However, It's all still muddled."

Which honestly was not that long. That's why he's burrowing your forehead.

Then the pull he'd felt earlier... His grip on him softens but remains firm, not ready to let go of him just yet.

"You got your memories back."

He's heard of it happening to other shinki, but he never thought... He looks at Ichiru as if seeing him for the first time.

Ichiru knew that Zero would feel that pull and in lieu of that, he did make his way here as Ichiru anticipated but not quite like this.

"No. I don't have recollection of anything beyond things concerning you. There are still missing parts."

Many to say the least. He doesn't mimd. It was the comfort that's calming his head down. He's a but out of it still.

There's an overflow of questions at the tip of his tongue but he's restrained by the need to secrecy regarding anything to do with his identity.

"Don't strain yourself, Ichiru."

It's enough that you remember him. It's more than he ever thought could happen. Maybe a memory or two but this much... it's a miracle.

Ichiru knows that Zero has a lot of questions for him-- many of which he might be aware of and others not so much, given there's still a hole in his memories.

"You worry too much."

He replied softly closing his eyes, shifting his head to Zero's shoulder to hide the frustration that still lined his face at the thought of not remembering more, "It's frustrating."

Admittedly, he's being a little honest here. Probably due to his own state right now.

Long fingers settle just above his head, slipping through his hair as he lets him lean into his shoulder.

"I know." He murmurs, his voice low, almost afraid to break the truce. "I know."

The pat on the head felt very nice as they combed through his messy hair. He only proceeded to lean into the touch more. This was his place always. That's why it felt comfortable being here. They were one in the same. Even if they had their differences.

Ichiru could only lightly chuckle at Zero's repetition. He didn't say anything because it was nice right now. He didn't want to change the mood. After all he still felt very messed up after waking up this way.
