12 am.
There was a sudden ring on their phone, a familiar name and number on the center of the screen.
Kenji Sato. [Name] already knows what happened, why he called them.
Squinting their [Eye Color] eyes at the bright light beaming from their phone, They answer the call, already moving to get up from the comfort of their bed. He needed them again.
Just a few words in, and they're on their way to put their shoes on, ready to head to his home.
It was routine at this point.

A wince from him, as their skillful hands bandaged him up. "Be a little more gentle?" he voiced out, sucking in a breath when they touched one of the forming bruises on his shoulder.
"Maybe when you learn how to not get injured," [Name] replied with a steady voice, tying the loose end of the gauze.
"Here's the ice pack, [Name]," the feminine, robotic voice sounded, as metal hands brought the cloth-wrapped ice to the doctor.
"Thank you, Mina," they took it with gratitude, proceeding to place the pack where bruises were forming on Kenji's skin.
The robot's single-circle-for-an-eye glowed as she spoke. "Not a problem, [Name]," before leaving to sort something else out,
A few grumbles were thrown here and there, but they quickly fixed him up in a matter of half an hour. Thankfully, he wasn't too wounded. Just a few scratches and bruises, his Ultraman form shielding him from the worst of the damage.
Still silence filled the room while they sorted out the handy first-aid kit on their lap, organizing it up. [Name] heard Ken grunt beside them, seemingly testing to move while wearing bandages around his torso.
"You still came here, huh?" Kenji remarked, noticing the bags under their eyes. It's been a rough few weeks ever since both of them came to Japan. Settling into a new environment was rough, especially as a doctor. They could only guess how rough it has been to Ken.
"I mean, you did call," they said, closing the metal casing with a snap. "What kind of doctor would I be if I didn't come?" [Name] added on, moving to stand up to tuck away the first aid kit.
He chuckled at that, leaning back on the couch. Metalic blue eyes following them while they put the kit away. "Yeah, what a great friend you are, [Nickname]," Kenji muttered, a hint of sarcasm lacing his tone, as he moved to pull on his shirt.
[Name] couldn't help but roll their eyes, a sigh escaping their lips. "Wow, it wasn't like I decided to go with you when you were needed back here, 'Ji," they retorted.
"Come on, I bought you your flight here, anyway. A little more thanks to me?" he brought up, tilting his head to the side, a cocky smile on his face.
They raise an eyebrow, unimpressed but amused. "Remind me who patches you up, again?"
"...Fair," he shrugs, tilting his head back. "You gonna stay the rest of the night?"
[Name] looks at their watch. Two in the morning. "You think I'll choose to drive all the way back? At this hour? Hell, nah. I'm staying."
Kenji figured. "Yeah, thought so. Mina's already sorting the guest room," he responded, standing up the vast couch. "I'm gonna get some shut-eye, press conference tomorrow. Make yourself at home," the ravenet trailed, dismissively waving a hand while he made his way out the lounge.
"Will sure do," they replied, seeing him walk out the fancy translucent doors.

'For the last few weeks, one name has dominated the headlines. In what is sure to be a historic moment in baseball.'
The computer on the mahogany desk was blasting a live conference, the commenter playing on his script in a well-practiced manner. It was [Name]'s break of the day, lounging in their office while watching a live feed of Kenji like a true friend.
'In just three days, Giants fans will welcome a legend to the new Tokyo Dome, as Ken Sato returns to the land of his birth.'
The [Hair Color]-colored doctor leaned back on the swivel chair they sat on, legs crossed and downing what seemed to be their fourth mug of coffee for the day. The sun was setting out the window, painting the clear skies in a warm orange hue.
'Now, please join me in welcoming him back to Japan, the newest member of our Giants family: Ken Sato!'
It was a bit of a long intro, but the face of none other than their best friend soon entered the camera, a series of cheers and cameras flashing following after. "Thanks for waiting, folks," he sat down, the iconic Ken Sato persona in full view. "All right, who's first?"

(a/n) Hi guys!!! Tofumi back at it again with a new book! This one's short, but I just wanted to release a book about Kenji Sato lol. It will probably only be around 20 chapters or so, but the chapters will be pretty lenghty (I hope)
Thanks for checking this out! Have a great day/night, and take care of yourselves, dears!<3
