Kiyoshi just remained how he was but hearing his space's door being opened he sat up wiping his eyes trying to make it seem as if he wasn't crying. "S-sorry Ryou, I didn't want to burden you." he held his head it he was dizzy from sitting up to quickly "So this is how a head rush dizzy spell feels." he smiled like an idiot "Thank you for taking care of me." he wanted to hide his illness, his homesickness from him but he knew in time everything would come flooding out it always did.

"No worries. It's good to have this type of treatment when you need it most." Ryou smiled but went to go sit back on the bed. He grabbed his laptop and went to check out a few things. Though mostly things Kiyoshi would be embarrassed about if he knew what Ryou was thinking while scrolling through his shopping list online for costumes and things he thought Kiyoshi would look great in. Even the skimpy ones crossed his mind a few times. He figured to leave him alone right now knowing not to help too much and make him feel worse.

Kiyoshi got around to doing his emails and started on doing some studying, he knew the nurse said he should take it easy but as it stood he already felt like a burden and felt like maybe coming here was the worst decision he could make. Sure he had to work at home to help out but this was different, the work was held at a higher standard meaning more studying and then with two jobs and trying to keep his hobbies he just breathed heavily having a bit of an anxiety attack.

Closing his eyes he tried to get his breathing under control, once it was he went back to studying to the point he actually started to dose off in front of his laptop, his brother sending him an instant message seeing how he was holding up away from everyone. Sighing he placed his head on the table unsure how really to answer that as he didn't want to lie but knew the truth may hurt them.

Ryou finished his looking once he bookmarked a few costumes Kiyoshi would actually agree on, so he thought anyway. He shut down the laptop and wandered back to the kitchen for a snack before bed. He'd eat and study at the same time, thinking it best to do that before bed to retain the useless information easier. "Did you want anything before bed? I'm thinking I want some type of snack."

By the time Ryou was finished looking over the things on the net he was out cold still with the same instant message from his brother asking him how he was getting on without any reply. He had blacked out through the high stress and the lack of sugar in his body so no reply came from his sleeping area.

(i forget if the beds were pushed together into one?)
Ryou walked over when he got no answer, knowing he possibly blacked out since he noticed Kiyoshi forgot about the cocoa mostly ass it was just about untouched and cold. He scooped him up from the desk and brought him to the bed. He knew he'd be fine with some sleep though would perk him up in the morning by forcing some sugar into his system.

((They where but he is in the room his bed came from))

Kiyoshi never even noticed that he was being moved from the room, he instinctually just curled hugging and nuzzling into Ryou a soft snore coming from his mouth, showing he was in a deep sleep. at the moment though in his sleep his mind was working on the pros and cons of staying here and what his family may think of him for quitting as they seemed so excited and even sacrificing so much just to get him there.

(ah lol oki)
Ryou tucked Kiyoshi in before going to get ready for bed himself, careful to not wake him since he always pushed himself too hard and never thought of his health until it was usually too late. As far as Ryou noticed, that was the case. He came back 10 minutes later, shutting all the lights off and turning Kiyoshi's laptop onto sleep mode and plugged it in so it wouldn't die overnight. He figured he'd want to reply to things that had been opened once he was more conscious.

A few hours passed and Kioshi opened his eyes looking around the dark room he found himself wondering where he was, turning his head he seen Ryou now wondering how he got into the bed in the first place. He held his head feeling like crap laying back down looking at the ceiling to him it seemed to be moving so fast so closed his eyes but found that didn't help either. "What the hell is going on." he whispered to himself trying not to wake the other up.

Ryou shifted on his own, rolling over and cuddling up to the warmth. He subconsciously thought he was hugging a pillow, but was really wrapping his arms around Kiyoshi's waist. Soon after he was snoring again as if he hadn't moved at all, not budging until he either woke or got too hot.

Kiyoshi looked to the other trying to keep his eyes straight but he was finding it tough, before he knew it Ryou already had his arm over him cuddling him close for warmth, he knew it had to be for that or he was dreaming about making out with his pillow. closing his eyes soon enough however as he was starting for feel sick, his whole body felt sluggish and heavy it scared him as his body had never once acted like this

Ryou slept that way for an hour more, letting go and turning. Though he woke himself up this time, looking around and checking Kiyoshi now for fever or any signs he wasn't doing too well. He knew he should probably force something sugary in him soon anyway since the cocoa didn;t get used.

Feeling the arm move and the other moving quickly he knew he was more than likely being looked at without needing to open his eyes "G-good morning Ryou." he said weakly his temperature had spiking even though he was uncovered "When I open my eyes it's like the room is spinning so fast I can't keep up, my body feels slow and heavy." he said being truthful before he ended up being poked and prodded to see if he was okay.

Ryou noted how warm Kiyoshi felt. "I'll get something then." He hoped it'd help so they wouldn't have to go to the the nurse's office anytime soon. 2 minutes later Ryou came back with some overly sugary water, helping Kiyoshi sit up and take at least half before he would feel less worrisome.

"There is no need to fuss I'm just fine, just need some more sleep." he said gently knowing it would fall on deaf ears but he still felt like he needed to try. He whines a little as he was helped to sit up as he tried to take the glass he missed it "This really isn't going to work the room is still spinning to much." he whispered though for once was thankful the other helped him drink though clenched his eyes as the water was so sugar filled he moved away from it after the first sip.

"I'll get some regular water after this. I know it's really sweet." Ryou chuckled a bit, though knew it was what was needed. "Just try to drink most of that." He left Kiyoshi for a moment, going to get regular water to wash down the sugar with. "or you can do a few sips then the water. Whichever works." He sat back on the bed with the other glass.

He placed the class down making sure it was on his bedside table before sliding to lay flat. "Ryou I'm thinking about returning home... I don't think I can handle school here." he felt so bad since class's for him hadn't started because of his health. More so he felt like he was letting his parents down but things where so expensive and he wouldn't be able to take the sugar he needed when he needed it because of not being able to eat in classes, he wanted to make the other aware of his thoughts as he moved to his side slowly.

Ryou sighed not sure how he felt about how easily Kiyoshi was giving up. "How will you know unless you try?" He asked, hoping he'd at least consider trying for at least a month before deciding home was his last option. "If you can't handle it after a month's trial, then you should be thinking those things. Not before even trying."

Kiyoshi kept his eyes closed as he listened to the other shaking his head a little "Look how sick I am after being here for less than a week, I need to work two jobs to get the supplies I need for school let alone for what I need to eat." he sighed he felt like a failure for even thinking like this "Then what happens if I need something sweet during class I am not allowed to eat or drink like you are inside it. Heaven forbid if I get into an accident there would be no way I could afford the hospital fees." he clenched his eyes knowing that if he graduated he could get any job he wanted and that he could provide for his family without any problem "This school and area wasn't designed for people who are like me lets face it." he felt sick but tried not to show it.

"I've known plenty of students who sneak treats during classes and have gotten away with it because they tried." Ryou smiled, knowing he'd do what he could to help and he knew others would help too. Just not too many in the classes themselves. The nurse they could count on, and Kiyoshi's boss at the Cafe. "You can do it. There are people who will help. You know that."

"I am not like that, I abide by the rules Ryou so will not eat in the class nor drink in it." he didn't want his school record tarnished for trying and being caught it just wasn't how he was brought up. "That makes one of us." he sighed to the second part shaking his head he had been brought up to be proud and to be able to stand on his own feet just now he felt overwhelmed

Ryou sighed and gave in for now. "At least weigh the pros and cons of each option before deciding on things." He knew he could talk to the teachers to see if they would allow some rule bending in the case of a health concern. But he would do so on his own time, or get Kiyoshi to do so. Or perhaps the nurse who knew of the condition better then both of them. But for now he was tired and they both needed to sleep. "Let's worry about that later. We need some sleep." He couldn;'t stop himself, leaning in to kiss his forehead before cuddling up again like he had before waking the first time.

Kiyoshi sighed nodding at least giving in to this request but his mind was already pretty much made up. He had the feeling he was going to end up running himself into an early grave with the schedule he would have to keep then there was his condition. "I can't go to sleep my employer will be here soon to pick up the treats for the cafe, then I have laundry to do, studying and have to get ready for work." he sighed this was going to be one hellish day he could tell already.

"Then go get some cocoa in you. You'll need more than that but it should do for breakfast." Ryou got up, pulling Kiyoshi out of bed too. "I'm used to not much sleep, but you shouldn't push yourself so hard." He knew there was nothing he could do to stop him from doing so, but warning him was relieving in itself. "Maybe I'll swing by to see what you're wearing this time."

"I don't want the sugar or chocolate." he explained as the other dragged him out of bed he felt wobbly on his feet as he stumbled towards the table sitting down "I want to be able to act like others can and not be dependant on sugar." it was both medical and the only treat he could ever afford so it went hand in hand but he wanted to stop but he didn't know how much of what he was feeling was because he wasn't having things with sugar in it. "You don't understand I push this hard because if I don't work I won't survive here at all." he was talking about school supplies, groceries and clothing.

Ryou huffed, knowing Kiyoshi was being overly stubborn but also knew why. Though he still wanted him to be alright so he would try and do something about that. "What about fruit? they have natural sugars?" He knew that wouldn't be enough for him to survive without the blackouts, but it might be enough until he got to work maybe.

Kiyoshi knew the nurse had told him he should be resting up but it wasn't as if he really had a choice he worked or he went hungry. It was times like this he really did wish like he was like everyone else in the school not having to worry about bills and surviving. "I like fruit, it's refreshing." he knew about the natural sugars but they where far from the amount he needed to keep going through the day. "Thank you for taking care of me Ryou, you're girlfriend is lucky to have you." he smiled a little.

Ryou chuckled a bit at the comment but agreed. "Yes, yes 'she' is." He smiled before going and slicing up some fruit, surprised he didn't cut himself. It was good that he watched Kiyoshi a bit for that cause otherwise he wouldn't have confidence to do it. "I'll still drop by later after Studying a bit."

Kiyoshi opened one of his eyes for a moment hearing the others answer before closing it as the room started spinning again "You're lying." he said with a calm tone it might have only been a day or two but not once had Ryou mentioned a girlfriend nor was their anything inside the room indicating a relationship of any sort. "If you where in a relationship then there would be a teddy or another kind of love token in this room, not to mention at least one picture..." he started as he rolled on his back "And you would have mentioned them at least once in the few days of our meeting." he explained it was easy to see why he got into the school just by his reasoning. "That and your friend at the store thought I was your girlfriend come to thing of it." he laughed weakly his skin sickly pale as it began to sweat showing clear signs of a temperature.

"I meant you, silly." Ryou teased before going to get some of that sugar-water that was already mixed a good amount unlike the one he made in haste earlier. He knew Kiyoshi was just getting worse and worse. He didn't want to see the outcome of neglecting the sugar and knew he had to force him to drink it since he was too proud. "Now come on and let's sit you up." He helped him rest against the pillows, forcing the bottle to his mouth before he could protest. "If you don't drink it on your own I'll not be so gentle in making you take it." He huffed, hoping he would allow it.

Kiyoshi pouted a little as he heard what the other said "I might look like a girl and have to wear dresses and such at work..." he didn't want to mention the dress that had been given to him the day before or the kimono's he wore when dancing "And I didn't know we where dating." a blush clearly visible on his pale skin, he had never thought about a relationship before, he never really had the time to and even now he didn't with work and studies.

Kiyoshi struggled a little as the other helped him sit up, he was happily enough to lay down flat but he just didn't feel like he had much strength so gave up quickly. He turned his head to the side as he felt the bottle on his lips, he didn't want to drink the sugar water that was clear. "I am ill naturally, it does happen... I'll be fine in a week..." he knew it was going to be far longer he didn't have medicine and he was refusing sugar intake "I'm going to make some green tea." he whispered pushing himself up only to fall back his hand going to his head. 'This is the last thing I need. he thought to himself

"What? And here I thought you knew the amusement park was a date?" Ryou smirked, knowing Kiyoshi wouldn't want to do things the easy way. He slid up on the bed, straddling Kiyoshi's hips as he pinned him there, using one hand to hold his nose closed so he would have to drink the water to breathe. That was why he had him sit up so he wouldn't choke. "I'm doing this for your own good. What if you're not well enough in a week's time hmm?"

His blush deepened as he heard the other classed the time at the fair as a date, he just thought it was time spent between friends all be it he was wearing a dress at the time "I-I-I..." he bit his lip "Y-you want to date me?" he sound genuinely shocked at what the other was implying, his eyes closed "I don't have time for that." he whispered, his eyes opening as he felt weight over his own body his nose pinched she shook his head weakly trying to get his door released.

He raised his head to avoid the water and breath "I'll be fine..." sighed but dipped his head as he was getting dizzy once more his eyes closing "Please don't make me... I don't want sugar..." but each time he opened his mouth the sweetened water entered and he swallowed to breath coughing at the end of each mouthful.

(lol caught you at a naked avi time >D)
Ryou thought the date was somewhat mutual, shrugging that thought off for now as he allowed Kiyoshi the rest of the regular water since the sugar water was all gone. "Yes I do like you. But I want to date you. Only if it's mutual." He said after some time. He then allowed Kiyoshi to do as he pleased, leaving his side to get something to drink himself.

((no helping with the item guide))

Kiyoshi moved to place the glass of pure water next to the other glass from earlier he didn't want to drink any more "I don't have the time for a relationship and I definatly don't have time to be sick like this." hearing the door knock he got up slowly holding his head and walking to the the kitchen to get the treats but felt so sick. Eventually he got the treats and headed to the door though was wobbly on his feet.

He handed them over and said he would see him later closing the door and collapsing on the floor "Ouch.." he managed to get out he had a feeling it was going to be over a week before he got better but still he had to continue

Ryou sighed, knowing it would take some work to convince Kiyoshi of many things. He didn't mind trying though since it would keep him from his thoughts of home. He also had studying to do before he would go check up on him at the cafe, some actual breakfast would be good too.

After finishing up what he could of some kitchen massacre he created, he was sated enough to study after cleaning up. He hit the books soon after, finishing the reading and reviewing within 3 hours of studying. He had also made study notes from what he read, making it easier than having to look back in the books later on. He decided to head down to the cafe and see what the costume was for today.

While the other was studying he done some of his own thinking on what the other had said about wanting to be in a relationship his head was spinning he had managed to keep Ryou's radar all day but when it came to getting ready to work he tripped over his own feet thanks to having a dizzy spell making a lot of noise as he did so his laptop flying against one of the walls "no..." he said weakly tears falling that was the last thing he needed at the moment "I-I'll just have to get another job..." he sighed quietly

Ryou was on his way out the door, coming close to the door as he noticed Kiyoshi still there. "you okay? I thought you made it to work?" He crouched down, checking his forehead. He bit his lip thinking. "Did your boss say anything?" If he did then he'd escort him back to bed and head to the pharmacy himself.

Kiyoshi looked to the other from the floor even though he felt ice cold he could feel a few beads of sweat trickle down his forehead. "Y-yeah I'm fine." he whispered "M-my manager has given me paid sick leave seeing how bad I was this morning." his voice was faint, as his head was touched Ryou would be able to see Kiyoshi felt like a furnace with the hell of the other he moved to bed laying down without hassle.

Ryou tucked Kiyoshi in, grabbing a facecloth and dousing it in cold water before wringing it out and placing it over Kiyoshi's forehead. "I'll be back in a bit. Just stay here and rest." He also left an ice cold bottle of water beside the bed. He then got ready to go to the pharmacy. "If the cloth gets too warm just use the bottle."

Ryou had to walk past a shady part of town before heading to the Pharmacy. He somewhat knew things that went on there but not to what extent. He was just about to turn the corner by the Pharmacy when he was stopped by someone's hand on his shoulder. He turned to face the person, noticing it was his Counsellor from his old school who got discharged since the school closed. He stopped to talk for a few minutes, knowing the counsellor would expect him to stay and chat for a bit. He told him the reason he was out and that he had to go to the Pharmacy and back to the dorm. The counsellor handed him a number and walked off down the shady area of town.

Ryou got back 30 minutes later with different meds for fever and cold, just in case.
