It wasn't entirely unusual for them to get hurt in battle. They couldn't dodge every attack sent their way. They weren't that good at this.
Normally the injuries were quite small, not requiring any real attention. Maybe just a small bandaid or something to keep it clean. It was rare for anyone to sustain a more serious wound but it did happen a few times.
And that just so happened to be this time. They had been fighting a particular tough automonster and all of them had ended up with some sort of injury. Most weren't too bad, but one or two of them did get it a bit worse.
Sakito happened to be one of them. He had a gash on his shoulder. It wasn't that bad, but bad enough it needed a bit more attention. He had begrudgingly followed everyone back to their base and was about to start wrapping up his wound himself, when suddenly he had both Jou and Mira in his face, asking him to sit on the couch.
Sakito awkwardly did as asked, not seeing any other option. They were being quite insistent on helping him. It was throwing him off guard. Why were they trying to help? It was his injury, shouldn't he be the one to take care of it?
He spared a glance over at the other three, seeing that Taiya and Genba were doing the same to Ishiro. Ishiro had a cut on his face that they were taking care of. Ishiro didn't seem to be that bothered by the help he was receiving.
Was this... how a team worked? They all helped each other like this...?
"Can you take off your jacket?" Mira asked, dragging him back to his own situation.
Sakito shrugged his jacket off, making a note he would need to mend the tear in it at some point. He looked at the wound now that it was in full view. It was not a very pretty looking wound, but it definitely hurt worse than it actually was.
"I got the disinfectant." Jou said, holding a cloth in his hand. The scent was filling the air quickly of the alcohol.
Sakito tensed as suddenly the cloth was on his shoulder, cleaning up his wound. He bit his lip to stop himself from daring to make a complaint.
"Alright. Does it look good, Mira-senpai?" Jou finally pulled the cloth away. Sakito let out a small sigh.
Mira looked over his wound. "I think so. Can you help me wrap it then?"
"Of course." Jou nodded.
Sakito watched silently as they worked together to bandage up his shoulder. He had never... had anyone care like this.
"Is that too tight, Sakito?" Mira asked him.
Sakito pondered for a minute and then shook his head. "It's fine."
"Then you're all good." She gave him a smile and a thumbs up.
Sakito awkwardly averted his gaze, mumbling quietly. "Thank you..."
"You have some small cuts on yourself too, Mira-senpai." Jou commented.
"I do, huh. Can you help me clean them up?"
"Yeah."
Sakito watched as everyone worked together and aided each other. This was what it was like to be in a team...
He stood up and went over to join the effort.
