Iori started his shift earlier this time, at 8am instead of the yesterday's 9am. He was scheduled different hours on different days, usually mornings except Mondays where he had morning classes to attend.

He walked over to the room his assigned patient was in, only to find him sleeping. He wanted to quietly close the door, but somebody approached him from behind.

"Can I help you?" the voice asked, making Iori jump from the shock. The door went flying back with the sudden force, crashing with a rather laud sound into the bookshelf behind it, waking up the red head. The newcomer just sighed and said with a displeased tone. "You woke him up."

"Ah, I'm sorry. He was asleep so I was about to go back to the on call room..."the  navy haired teen tried to explain himself, as he turned around only to see the person he bumped into 2 days ago.

" Tenn-nii... ? "Riku was still half asleep, as he bent over his knees to look at the opened door. The white head took a step into the room, smiling at the red head.

" Good morning, Riku. " Tenn said as he set down his bag on the floor and approached the chair and shoe rack. Iori followed him into the room a few seconds later, closing the door slightly. Riku was still not fully awake, so he didn't notice Iori at first.

" Good morning, Iori" Riku finally awoke fully, "Do you need anything from me?" he asked as he sat up on his bed.

"Momo-san sent me here to say he'll come by later in the afternoon to take you for that walk he promised. He couldn't come here himself as he was called downstairs." The blue head said, his gaze traveling to the other teen that was now getting up from the chair.

" Riku, I brought  the clothes I took to wash a few days ago. " Tenn picked up the bag he brought with him, before approaching the small wardrobe and putting the contents of it inside.

"Thanks Tenn-nii!" Riku beamed a thankful smile to his brother, before remembering Iori was still there. "Ah, Tenn-nii, this is Iori the med student Yuki-sensei mentioned last time."

Tenn turned around, and looked at the blue head again. He certainly didn't look like a first year, the surrounding air seemed mature, almost too mature.

"Nanase Tenn, I'm Riku's older twin brother." Tenn said, before turning his attention back to putting the clothes back in the wardrobe. Iori thought he was a bit rude, not waiting for him to introduce himself back.

" Izumi Iori. " he said his own name, before turning his attention back to Riku. "I'll be going then Nanase-san, if you need anything I'm in the on call room."

"Alright, see you later." Riku smiled and waved goodbye to the other teen. Turning his attention to back to Tenn when he heard the door close.

"You're earlier than usual, aren't you Tenn-nii?" Riku questioned.

"I'm here the same time as always, you were sleeping when I came." Tenn closed the wardrobe, putting the now empty bag near the door. "You're usually awake when I come by."

"Ahh... I couldn't sleep at night, so when I finally fell asleep I just slept longer, I guess." Riku woke up a few times at night with coughing fits, that made it hard to go back to sleep.

Tenn looked at the red head with a worried expression, this wasn't something unusual, but it still pained him that Riku had to go through this, for the rest of his life, while he was blessed enough to only be a little weaker than normal people, but that only resulted in him catching a cold or two more. Riku on the other hand, spends most of his life in the hospital, or bedridden at home.
