The wind howled in the cold midnight air and the trees swayed in its wake. The moon shown bright and illuminated into your bedroom window, covering your face in its brightness. Your chest moved slowly up and down as soft breathing could be heard from you. You eyes lay closed peacefully- until you heard a loud thud come out from your bedroom. Your eyes shot open as you sit up quickly in bed.

Must be Ryu slamming the door again. This has been happening a lot lately- your brother coming home angry and slamming your door and waking you up. You sighed and swung your feet off the bed and force yourself to stand due to your tiredness. You stretched as you walked to your bedroom door, opening. "Ryu?" You called out, and of course, no reply.

You walk into where you knew he'd be- the kitchen. And there he was indeed, an ice pack held on his side. "Ryu.." you walked up to him, "i thought you said you would be more careful." You say in a disappointment tone and shook your head. You knelt down to the cabinet under the sink, rummaging through it to find the medkit.

"No," he sighed, "you told me to be careful and i never said i would listen." You rolled your eyes.

"Clearly." You muttered to yourself. You smiled when you finally found the medkit and stood up quickly. "You know the drill." You looked at him and he rolled his eyes while nodding. He makes his way over to the stool at the bar in your kitchen and took a seat. He took off his button shirt leaving him in his white tank and you sighed in disappointment at the deep scratch on his arm.

You take out the disinfectant spray and some bandages and got to work. You spray the disinfectant and he winces and jerk his arm back. "Hey!" You glare at him, "you did this to yourself." He rolled his eyes again. Geez, someones moody tonight..

You finally finish patching him up, putting away the supplies before looking at him with your arms crossed. "So you wanna tell me what happened?"

"The usual." You blinked at him. Did he really expect you to know what 'the usual' was?

"Whatever. Im tired. Its late. Im going to bed." You say while dragging your hand down your face.

"Goodnight pipsqueak." You glare hard at him. Your only 4 inches shorter than him (5'7) which you guess to him is a whole foot. You say goodnight to him by flipping him off and he only chuckles at your response, you secretly do the same.

The next morning came faster than you would have liked. The sun seeped in through the window, just as the moonlight had the previous night, only this time it was much brighter causing you to groan in your sleep. You turned away from your window and pulled the blanket over your eyes, protecting them from the rays of light. Soon enough you were laying there in comfortable silence on the verge of going back to the abyss of darkness we call sleep, until the blankets were yanked off of you.
