Danny Pov

I ran my hands comfortably through rex's hair as he whimpered in his sleep before moving over to ben to do the same. Their faces were scrunched up in pain and what looks like fear. With the flushed faces, with chests heaved up and down as they were forced to relieve those two years in a cell. I looked over at the clock miserably and saw that they have already been like this for a couple of hours. It was the day after the 20th anniversary of the day when they were turned into children and the two of them had already turned twenty less than a week ago. I was surprised that they didn't remember exactly on their birthday but I wasn't going to complain, at least we were able to celebrate their birthdays together. I brought my self out of my thoughts as I focused on my friends. They both whimpered in their sleep and even flinched as if they felt pain, which I wouldn't be surprised if they did as it was those memories.

"Shhhh," I gently shushed rex as I wiped off the sweat from his body, "Its ok." Well it wasn't ok as soon as I finished that, rex leaned over the edge of the bed and puked all over the floor, I only missed it by a few inches after I took a step back. I sighed heavily at this, I had just cleaned up bens mess, and now I had to clean up this mess.

It took some time, retches, swallowed bile, but I was able to clean it up, I don't mind taking care of them, but I do mind cleaning up their puke. There was just something about things coming from the mouth, I just can't deal with them. I can deal with blood, broken bones, but it's just something about fluids from the mouth that I did not agree with.

"D-Danny?" I was brought out of my think when I heard the weak and crackled voice of rex, I walked over to his side and pushed his hair back. He looked exhausted and based on the glassiness of his eyes, I could tell that he wasn't completely aware of his surroundings.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" rex leaned into my hand, probably feeling comfort at my touch before letting out a sigh.

"I think I would feel better if a car hit me, and then reversed." I chuckled at this statement, I could relate and considering the fact that they were having symptoms similar to cold, save for the stuffy nose, he probably felt like it.

"Sorry, what do you remember?" rex swallowed hard, and although I didn't want to ask that question, I had to so I could figure out a new time range for how long he'll stay like this. Rex scrunched his eyebrows before answering me.

"I remember breaking out, and staying at my brother's house with Gwen and Kevin, but that's all." I nodded my head at this. He still had a lot to remember, but he was almost done.

"Ok, go back to sleep, you'll be fine soon." Rex tiredly nodded his head before closing his eyes. It didn't take long for him to fall back asleep and it didn't take long for him to start moaning and whimpering in his sleep. I sighed at this, this was gonna be a long night.

"Danny." The voice was whispered and the holder of the voice tried to pull the blanket that was on me. I groaned loudly and pulled the blanket back onto me before rolling over with a sigh, determined to stay asleep on this soft bed. Wait bed? I sat up, confused as I don't remember going to sleep, I just remember sitting in between the beds of the feverish men.

"And the dead rises, about time." I looked over at them as they looked down at me with a smile. They both looked refreshed and were even wearing their old clothes along with their respective weapons, something they haven't done since before we attacked the GIW.

"Come on, we made breakfast, you've been asleep for a while." The two of them walked out of the room, ignoring the look on my face. I scrambled out of the bed, and put on the shoes that were taken off of me.

"Wait!" I ran after them as they walked down the stone hallway. Two years of living the castle had done the two of them some good and now they knew where they were walking. I ran out of the room and watched them as they walked away. I noticed the change in their posture and even in their personality as they talked and joked around with each other. Although they had similar personalities after they were reverted to children, there was always something that was missing. But now, they seemed like nothing happened. Like the past 20 years of reliving their childhood and school didn't happen. I felt a weight lift off my chest as I realized that my mistake was finally repaired, not completely, but still better.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Ben and Rex were looking over their shoulders expectantly, waiting for me to catch up. I smiled and wiped my eyes with my sleeve before slight jogging towards them.

"I get it already! Wait for me!"

"Nope, last one there gets to clean the kitchen!"

"Wait what? Hey, Rex! Get back here!"

"All is fair in love and war my dear brother!"

"Fair my ass! Let's so if it's still fair when my left foot is up your ass!"

"Ha ha Ben. Wait, wait! I was just joking. I was joking!"

I watched them with a fond smile on my face as they chased each other down the hall. Rex running away from Ben as he chased him out of sight.

God I love those idiots.
