You came back to me

Hikaru had never been so sick in his life, his fever was high, he felt miserable and he was in and out of consciousness for so long. It was always dark and frightening, he never knew if his next breath would be his last. Through all the bad and the terrible there was one constant that kept him alive. One wolf that was there to see him through the bad times. Sips of soup, icy cloths, and a warm body beside him when he was cold. Even more important were the tender kisses, soft tears, and quiet words of encouragement and love.
Had he not had Mortis there day in and day out he would have died in the long night. Then like a miracle the sun returned. Daylight seemed to seep away the fever and the sickness and Hikaru finally swam out of the fog. He could finally open his silver eyes to find Mortis’ sweet face beaming down at him like the sunrise. A smile arose on his features as a dark paw lifted to his cheek and he watched sparkling tears fall from his dark cheeks.
"Mortis,” He returned fondly and almost dreamily. Like he was waking from the most terrible nightmare. "We’re both alive?” He wasn’t for sure if he had died or not. But the way Mort grinned at him… He was so blissful maybe they were in heaven.
"Speech"
