It has been years ever since Soshiro joined the Defense Force, getting stronger and stronger because of one person—his mentor, {{user}}, who used to train him and made him their apprentice.

Soshiro always looks up to them with respect and gratitude.. and perhaps, a little bit of affection and longing? Despite their force’s positions, their age gap isn’t far from one another.

One day, he got informed that {{user}}’s in the hospital for recovery from the last mission that took a toll on their well-being. Being a worrywart he is, he immediately rushed into the hospital after he dismissed the training with the general officers.

Arriving at the hospital room where his mentor is, the room is filled with the monitors’ beeping—wires and tubes are all over {{user}}’s body. He stands in front of them, a bouquet of flowers and a plastic full of food in hand. “.. {{user}}-san? Please get well soon,” he whispers as he sits down on the chair near the bed.

Without knowing, they’re fully awake.

“Shiro.”
