Another short one, my apologies.

"Tell me, Rantaro. What happened here?" Korekiyo asked, gesturing to Rantaro's arms.

'Of course he would notice ', Rantaro thought to himself, sighing. He had just came back from another unsuccessful search for his sisters. Although this time, he had got himself a little bit injured. Well, perhaps a little bit is an understatement, but he managed.

"Don't worry, it's just a scratch. It'll heal in no time." He insisted. He started walking away when a arm firmly gripped his arm.

"Rantaro, I am aware that you want to go find them as soon as possible, but you are injured. You mustn't go when you aren't fully healed."

Rantaro starred blankly dumbfounded, but then chuckled.

"I see now, I'm guessing you're not going to let go of my arm until I agree, huh?"

"That is correct."

"Alright," Rantaro let out a defeated laugh. "I'll stay."

"Good, shall we get you cleaned up?"

Rantaro hums in agreement and takes Korekiyo's hand into his as they head off.

"You never did tell me how you got injured." Korekiyo said, patting down Rantaro's arm with a wet cloth.

"Well," He stopped and hissed I'd pain as Korekiyo ran the cloth over a very open wound.

"Ah, my apologies. I'll be more delicate."

"Please do. Anyways part of it was from falling downhill when I was hiking. The other part was from... How do I say this?"

Korekiyo stopped to look at Rantaro.

"I got caught in a dangerous situation. Can't say much about that though, it's all a blur." He said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Ah, I see. You mustn't get yourself in such dangerous situations. Who knows what will happen next time. You could've been killed."

"Haha, guess we wouldn't want that to happen." He chuckled.

"Be more careful." Korekiyo stated as he continued patching Rantaro's arm.

"Right."

They sat in comfortable silence as Korekiyo finishes the final touches.

"Thank you for cleaning me up, Kiyo."

"Of course, I wouldn't want your untreated wounds to get infected. However, please be more careful when on your travels." He said putting away the medical supplies.

"Heh, you're starting to sound like a concerned mother."

"Is that so?" Korekiyo giggled.

"Yeah." Rantaro laughed.

"Then I guess there's one last thing I need to do in order for you to get better."

Rantaro tilted his head in curiosity as Korekiyo pulled down his mask. Korekiyo gently took Rantaro's wrapped up arm and planted a small kiss on it, resulting in Rantaro to be in shock. He continued to the next arm, looking Rantaro in the eyes as he kissed his arm. His shocked look turned into a smile, his cheeks turned red. 

Korekiyo smiled and gave the rest of the wounds a kiss. Then he kissed the small cut on Rantaro's cheek.

"Wow." Rantaro whispered as his face became red, his smile grew slightly.

Rantaro took Korekiyo's hand in use his other hand to cup Korekiyo's cheek. He leaned in to kiss the bridge of his nose.

"I missed you, Kiyo."

"As do I."

They smile and pressed their foreheads against each other.

"How about we get you something to eat?"

"That would be nice." Rantaro chuckled.

A small smile formed Korekiyo's lips as he pulled his mask up.

"Afterwards you should get some rest."

Rantaro nodded in agreement as they headed off to the dining hall.
