Who: Ichigo and YOU
What: Wellness check time!
When: Horseshoe 19

Bright and early, Ichigo came to the medical car. He had a large thermos of coffee, and Shiro had a cardboard box with some cat toys to keep him busy. He'd even managed to get some of his pens back from Grimmjow. Setting up a stack of file folders, he opened the door to the first exam room and got ready.

"Good morning! Here for your check up?"

"I'm back," Kaiba says reluctantly. That incident from a few days ago is still fresh on his mind, but he'll behave this time.

He sits on the exam table again, taking a shallow breath. Still healing, apparently.

The shallow breathing had Ichigo arch an eyebrow. "Did you get yourself hurt again, Kaiba-kun?"

[blue_ice]

"No, I'm just taking things slowly on the doctor's orders. Everything should be healed by now."

He stretched his arms and legs in front of him, blinking at him. "I'm...sorry I was difficult the other night. I was angry at myself for being ambushed so easily."

Reaching out, Ichigo ruffled Kaiba's hair with a smile. "I've been there. It's hard to remember to be compassionate to yourself when something like that happens." He put the cuff around one of the younger man's arms. "Just relax for a bit while I do this and then I'll take a look at your injuries."

Kaiba made a strange noise in the back of his throat, leaning back at an almost comic angle.

"Don't do that....please," he added, after a moment of thought. Best not to upset the doctor again, given the stunt Kaiba pulled the other night.

He relaxed as best he could, silent as the blood pressure was taken. Once done, he peeled off his shirt and started on untying the bandages. The claw marks hadn't been deep at all, the bandages were just to prevent infection.

"Believe me, I don't want to make my being here a habit. You're busy enough as-is"

"Let me handle the bandages." Ichigo rested a hand on Kaiba's shoulder before taking over the changing of the bandages. "These are healing well. The lacerations are healing up nicely, though you may still scar."

[blue_ice]

"Right." He takes a breath and forces himself to relax, though that becomes a slightly bitter chuckle.

"I'm used to that, at least." Kaiba's back has a number of thin scars on it, though they're years old at this point. He reaches up to let Ichigo do his work, 'fixing' his hair all the while.

"If I had a camera, I would take a picture of your back to document all these scars." Ichigo's voice was soft, and he was struggling to not get angry at whoever had inflicted the majority of them.

[blue_ice]

"No need. The one responsible is dead and buried." Kaiba's voice was...tight, tense. He didn't like to dwell on his past weakness, but instead look toward the future.

He focused on breathing as he allowed Ichigo to finish the exam. "So...is everything stable? Do you have your baseline?"

[strawberryprotector]

"I did just check your blood pressure not that long ago, so I don't feel the need to check it again unless you've been feeling unwell. So all that's really left is height, weight, and reflexes. And anything you want to report about your medical history."
