"I know I look like a feminine boy when dressed in trousers but I doubt they will make the connection, I mean your friend at the store thought I was a girl even in boys clothing." he blushed a little as he remembered how the man had flirted with him, and how it seemed to have made Ryou a little jealous not that he seen any reason to it but then they did share a bedroom so it was a little obvious they seemed to be in a relationship, how serious it was, was anyone's guess.

"I can feel it is, no I should be fine until we get home." he was unsure about the second part but he had to try, he didn't want the other wasting his money on him and knew that's what would happen as he could see Richard eyeing up the cotton candy. Sighing he walked to the concession stand and waited as Richard bought the sweet "I think so too." he stated knowing that if it was beginning to dampen so soon that the rain would be coming in a lot quicker than his own estimation.

When Richard was done buying he took him by the hand and walked towards the exit blushing a little, a small nervous smile seen on his face as the boys in the line for the roller-coaster whistled at him telling him he should should go with them and they would shown him what a real man was like. It made him awfully nervous but he ignored it just walking towards the school contently.

Ryou had scoffed and rolled his eyes at the so-called 'real men' in line. "See they didn't even recognize you" He chuckled, though still felt uneasy at what they thought of himself. "How do they know I'm not a real man?" He laughed a bit to himself, picturing the possibilities if they had of ever shown interest in him. "They don't even know me intimately" He laughed it off as he opened the cotton candy, eating some but leaving plenty for Kiyoshi as they walked back to the dorms.

"I-I know..." he smiled walking into the school grounds "It's strange they didn't recognise me but then I've only been in the school for two days." he didn't know if they would recognise him the more they spent time around them but he didn't want to have to worry about that now and though their date had been cut short he found it enjoyable. "Don't listen to them, it's like apes trying to get a mate, they will bang their chest in the hopes they will attract someone who will..." He looked down blushing deeply not wanting to finish that sentence.

"I don't know you intimately and I know you are a real man..." he turned his gaze to him as he sat down the gentle pitter patter of the rain now being heard "A real man cares about more than himself, you do that every time you worry about my sugar levels." his eyes went to the window smiling "Seems we made it just in time." he pitied the ones who where still at the fair but then all the warning signs of the coming rain where there if they just been more observant.

Ryou chuckled, watching as Kiyoshi complimented him without trying to flush. He found it adorable. "Guess we should be lucky then, we won't have to hear their complaints when they're drenched." He was almost glad they decided to go back early, not liking being around all that many people in a close range. He also felt a little sore from the metal of the rides they did get to venture on. The least the Carny's could do was make the metal more cushioned when you were sliding around on the rides.

"think I need a nice hot bath. Those rides may be fun but they're not well cushioned." Ryou sighed as he tried to crack his back to relieve some of the soreness. He was almost tempted to ask Kiyoshi if he'd like to join him, thinking of watching him flush more. He chuckled at the thought.

"Why are you chuckling?" he knew it likely had something to do with him, then it dawned on him that he must be blushing and found himself very embarrassed very quickly, wishing that he had a fan close by that he could cover his face with but decided to use his sleeve instead. "We paid attention to our surroundings those boys where more interested in trying to show off and pick me up." he shook his head believing them foolish. He wasn't one to boast on his looks but there was no way someone like him would date someone with the I.Q of a bowl of split pea soup.

"I agree, I wish they had more padding also." he took some more of the water that had been given to him,his eyes once more going to look out the window as thunder was heard in the distance. Standing he moved to the window opening it humming a little his eyes closing as he listened to the gentle sound of the rain, not worrying about what could be going through Ryou's mind.

Ryou sighed but got up, leaving the leftover cotton candy close by for Kiyoshi while he went to wash up. He gasped when the tub was filled as he stepped in and got comfortable. The heat was almost a shock to his system, but it was what he normally had used for showers so he'd be fine, a little red when he got out, but fine. "He's really too innocent for his own good" He said to himself, chucking again at the way Kiyoshi avoided his eye contact when he was flushing like mad.

An hour passed by before he decided to get out, seeing as the water was cold by then. It had been nice as he needed it just to soak in. He would sleep better that way too.

By the time Ryou had came out of the shower, there would be a note left on the table from Kiyoshi telling him he had went out for a while but best not wait up as he was going to be out for a while. The candy floss that had been placed next to him had been untouched and it was clear he had taken nothing with sugar with him. Kiyoshi was sat at the entrance to the garden finding it more relaxing as he could hear the raindrops as they hit off the leaves he never wanted to make the other worry so that's why he left the note but at the same time he was glad he was away as it allowed him to balance himself and calm down his flushing cheeks without something causing them to flair up once more.

Ryou noticed the note, choosing to do as it said but not the whole time. He noticed the cotton candy still in the same place, thinking Kiyoshi just wanted some personal time, but knew he'd need a sugar boost before he'd be able to get back in for the night. He would wait an hour before going out with something sweet to look for him. After that he'd probably come back once he'd know Kiyoshi had something to help him from passing out.

Kiyoshi looked out on the garden smiling happily, but he was starting to feel dizzy but he hadn't taken anything with sugar. "How stupid could I have been?" sighing he stood up using the wall for support "I should be able to get back without collapsing." slowly he began walking back but only after a few minutes he slid down the wall "Ryou... h-help." he whispered hoping that he would be found soon before he completely blacked out.

(sorry I was delayed a bit. New router got installed yesterday etc. And I was out all day >D)

Ryou wondered where Kiyoshi could have possibly went. There were only a few options but wondered if he would choose the right location in time. He knew a few people liked the Garden for privacy but didn't want to check there first, in case he was wrong. He headed up to the roof, knowing people were allowed there freely. He sighed to himself when he found Kiyoshi not even close to the roof. Though it did have a view of all the other locations he could possibly be.

Ryou looked over the edge of the roof on all angles, checking the garden from that view before noticing someone sitting down, leaning against the school building. He figured it was Kiyoshi as he couldn't see very well from there. He ran down and within 10 minutes was on the level the garden was on. Another 5 and he was reaching the gardens before running out into the garden itself in search of the place he saw someone.

((Sorry myself being spending time with my fiance recently.))

Kiyoshi looked over his shoulder hearing footsteps and the feeling of dread started to kick in, the last thing he wanted was one of the jerks in school to see him like he was but then again he could likely get away with it. 'But if they are anything like those boys or some of the better off boys from around my area, it could turn out bad.' He thought to himself as he remembered some unwanted touching that other people had sustained and if they found out his 'secret' he knew he would never have a normal life here.

Seeing a familiar figure approaching he let out a sigh of relief "I guess it was dumb of me not to take some sugar water or something." he looked down to the floor almost as if he was expecting a scolding "I just wanted to listen to the rain as it hit leaves." he closed his eyes, a smile on his face as he realized just how foolish he had been thinking he shouldn't have taken anything.

(ah ;3 well it doesn't matter I suppose. I get email notifications ^^)

Ryou looked at Kiyoshi, worrying for a moment before he was recognized. He was glad he didn't have to chase after him, knowing he wouldn't be able to run very far even if he tried to. "I'm just glad I checked the roof, though I wish I had of checked here first" He shrugged, sliding down next to him and offered the cotton candy before he would black out. "At least I knew to bring something even if I didn't know where you were."

"It doesn't matter where you checked first, you are here now Ryou." he whispered closing his eyes as the room began to spin "Gods damn it.." he cursed himself now for being so idiotic "You would think with my I.Q I would have brought some sugar watter with me." he sighed his eyes opening as he heard the russle of the bag that held the cotton candy "I don't want to be dependant on that stuff Ryou." he knew that it was something he would have to break in case he began to be dizzy in a class. His head moved to the left his eyes lowering as if he was ashamed of it, in truth he was.

Ryou opened the cotton candy, refusing to let Kiyoshi leave without any sugar. "Just for now. There's plenty of other sugar sources. This was just the quickest one I grabbed." He waited for him to take some, no matter how ashamed he was at himself. It would still be better than watching him black out again.

"If you want to stay out here for a while longer I'll leave you to it." He stood to get up, thinking about heading back as he gave Kiyoshi the bag of cotton candy by placing it in his lap.

"I was heading back to the room when I started feeling dizzy." he explained not moving his head. He wanted to cry but hid it as much as he could though had no idea how much he was able to fool his counterpart. Hearing what the other said he shook his head moving to his feet slowly, he felt lethargic his hand went to his head as he felt dizzy once more. "What happens if I feel like this in class? It isn't like I can consume food or drink in class like you can." he moved a little watching his balance as he swayed backwards and forwards with each movement, what he was more worried about was what would happen when he ran out of things with sugar in them, he had seen how expensive the cheapest chocolate bar had been at that store and refused to take charity.

"I-I'll be fine Ryou, I-I think I just need to sleep the fair seems to have taken it out of me and I have to be up early for my employer to pick up the sweets for the cafe." He knew it could be demeaning work depending on the costume he would have to wear, and that with the hours and having to be on his feet that he would end up spending more than earning but it was a job and it would help him survive, he was just glad that the employer also bought cakes and stuff he made for some extra funds.

"Come on then." Ryou offered himself to lean on, knowing Kiyoshi wouldn't make it inside that way. "The cafeteria always has those sugar packets around for the taking." He chuckled, trying to lighten the mood a bit as he kept them both steady. He wasn't going to take no for an answer, glad there wasn't nearly enough fight in the other to do anything anyway.
