"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.
