Kyoshi just sat on the floor studying his fan or any damage from his fall, seeing none he smiled "Might need to make a new one..." he say quietly to himself, 'but first I must give Ryou a gift, I don't think one of my cords where right... it was foolish to give it, but it's the only sentimental thing I have' he let out a sigh and shook his head as he tried to figure things out 'If I had been placed with anyone else in this school I'm sure they wouldn't care as much... I wonder why he does' his cheeks pinking as he remembered Ryou's out burst not fifteen minutes earlier 'Is he re---' he began to think but was brought out of his thoughts as Ryou spoke to him

"It's only laundry so it's not like I would be serving tables, that is tomorrow" he say quietly the blush fading "There is no need for tape I will take it easy" he say with a quiet yawn crawling to his bed and curling with the same stick of pocky in his mouth and falling into a light sleep

Ryou sighed happily, though it would have been fun to pin him there. He's glad Kyoshi listened instead of doing anything else. He stayed up, waiting to see if he was going to try and sneak in some chores or something. He figured he should get a head-start on the homework they missed. He finished that within an hour, keeping an eye on Kyoshi all the while. He eventually fell asleep around 1am.

Remained in a light sleep the pocky in his mouth, about two in the morning however he woke up and moved to take the washing out of the washing machine and into the tumble dryer, he still felt weak and dizzy but a little better than earlier half the picky stick still in his mouth from when he fell asleep.

Keeping to his word he moved back to his bed but instead of laying back down, he sat and watched the sleeping Ryou a smile on his face, soon though he felt his cheeks flushing and brought his hands up to cover them "What is it with me when I am around you?" he whisper to himself, he felt his stomach knotting and his heart beat faster "Is this love?" he found himself wondering.

After a few minutes of debating with himself he finished his pocky and moved off the bed and crawled over to the others. Carefully he moved into the others bed and closed his eyes for a moment, his heart beating so fast and hard he felt it coming through his chest "If this is love then I wish to share something precious with you Ryou" he whisper as he leaned up to the others ear he knew he would be asleep and unable to hear but still he wanted him to know. Slowly he would use his hand to support himself and leaned over the sleeping Ryou, looking for a moment he blushed before leaning in and gently kissing him for a second truly hoping the other wouldn't wake up, he wouldn't know how to explain it

Ryou had been asleep for most of what Kyoshi had said, only waking when he felt the other crawl into his bed. He waited to see what Kyoshi was doing before letting him know he was awake. He felt someone kissing him, wondering who was in the dorm besides Kyoshi. He kissed whoever it was back, opening his eyes after. He wasn't going to say he thought someone broke in the dorm.He broke off the kiss, looking at Kyoshi a bit. He really didn't know what to say, grabbing Kyoshi and bringing him close.

Eyes went wide as he felt his kiss being returned, and almost fell out the bed as he seen the others eyes open he had no idea how he was going to explain this, it was a first for him in so many ways, he closed his eyes and looked down in disgust with himself for firstly taking liberty's with someone who had been kind with him and secondly for kissing someone of the same gender "I-I-I...." he couldn't get much else out, but he looked up in surprise as he was grabbed and brought closer. He began to shake slightly through fear, his dizziness returning as he began to breath shallowly through anxiety and fear.

"Don't think, just sleep for now." Ryou grabbed him and tucked him in before wrapping his arms loosely around Kyoshi's waist. He was too sleepy to talk this late. They could in the morning. He figured Kyoshi was embarrassed and going to take a while to give an answer anyway. He just smiled before falling asleep again. He went back to sleep until the alarm sounded for them to get ready for class. He groaned, waking and remembering Kyoshi had been in the same bed and had kissed him while he thought he was asleep. A light blush appearing as he checked for Kyoshi.

Kyoshi nodded to what Ryou said and closed his eyes to get some sleep; however it was restless and he couldn't sleep for more than fifteen minutes at a time, soon though four in the morning came round and he moved out of the Ryou's arms slowly and carefully. Moving to the tumble dryer he took out the uniforms.

Getting everything he needed he began to iron them and placed them up on the door so they couldn't be creased after which he placed the ironing bored and the iron away. taking his uniform and a towel he moved to the bathroom, removing the kimono, cords, and underwear and had a quick shower cursing himself for making such a stupid move while doing so.

Getting out of the shower he chanced into a clean set of boxers on and changed into his uniform, he was unsure if he was allowed to go to classes that day, by five in he morning he began to make breakfast like he had since he had came to the school, humming to himself as he placed the food on the table but that stopped the instant he heard the alarm and reality kicked back in

Ryou rolled out of the bed, fixing it the best he could in mid-sleep. He knew Kyoshi must have been up for a few hours at least, noticing how tidy the room was and the scent of food. He decided to think about what he was going to say, heading for the shower first. He finished up with his usual record time of 15 minutes, half dressed as he walked out to the kitchen. "feeling okay? not dizzy or anything?" He planned to start off with regular questions first.

He sat down at the table first, feeling that Kyoshi might be trying to figure out things with himself so he didn't want to bring up the kiss just yet. "I'll call the clinic since the nurse didn't say if you could come back to class or not..." He said as he ate, finishing up before taking his plate to the sink and heading for their dorm phone. He dialed the number hoping to hear an answer from her.

"I feel dizzy and a little shaky" he confess, unable to make any kind of visual contact with Ryou as he spoke, still feeling uneasy on his legs, but he had made sure to have some sweetened green tea by him at all times. "I can survive the day I'm sure... besides I have work tonight" he moved his hand to his mouth as he yawned a little, he was quite glad that the kiss last night wasn't brought up as he hadn't got an answer for any questions that were brought up

Sitting he quietly ate and didn't say a work keeping his head lowered as he done so only nodding as an answer to what Ryou had said about calling the clinic. His eyes rose as Ryou went to the phone once again he was cursing himself within his mind for doing what he done yesterday, but was done was done and nothing could change it.

The nurse picked up the phone as it rang expecting it to be one of the three people she had seen the day before "Hello, How can I help you?" she say then looking to the number Id on the phone reading 13 she knew it would have definitely been Ryou "Oh Ryou... is everything okay? I wasn't expecting a call until the beginning of next week unless.." she stopped suddenly "Is Kyoshi okay? Nothing's happened has it?" her voice filled with worry

"No he's pretty much fine, Just wanted to know if he'll be good for classes today. If so, I'll pack tons of sugar." Ryou teased a little. He didn't say anything about how Kyoshi was still a little dizzy. He figured he'd be fine with the sugar and not overdoing anything. He kept watch over the boy in case he slipped up or something.

"Oh no, the work I brought with me yesterday was for the week." she say listening to everything that had been said "You have both been excused from classes because of this... what counts for one counts for the other as the headmaster says." she say contently "All work must be finished in seven days though and handed in"

"Alright. I'll call if there's any changes." Ryou said as he hung up after she agreed. "Looks like we're out for the week...heh I got most of it done within an hour while you were out. The reading bits at least. We have a few drawing assignments and apparently they're thinking of putting on a play...anyone can join it though but for us we have to since it's the class too." Ryou pouted, hoping it wasn't some weird prince/princess type of play. Though he'd be all right if they got the leads if they were lucky enough.

Kyoshi looked at him with a bewildered face but looked down quickly afterwards "O-okay, but I'm fine to go to class" he say quietly "I should do some of the work, it's not right for you to do everything I am not an invalid..." he sounded hurt and somewhat offended by how he felt like he couldn't do anything for himself

"That's why there's a work pack for BOTH of us. Due by next week. It's a weeks worth of assignments. So we might as well listen to her orders. But I'll stop by your work and such too." Ryou said, a little saddened that Kyoshi thought he was doing all the work. "They're not group assignments yet though. Though I guess since those rules probably apply I see your point. I only did half the reading so far."

Kyoshi stood up from the table quickly "For us everything is a group assignment, what works for one works for both remember" he say with a sigh clearing away the table yawning a little as me moved "No need I am going to work tonight... I have no other option" his words showing he couldn't afford to miss work for anything "Art assignments are easy enough, drama simple enough, english the same..." he yawned once more the plate he was drying smashing on the floor as he moved to hold his head feeling dizzy. He was getting worked up over it and it was effecting him, didn't help that he still had to answer for the night before

Ryou nodded. "I can always bring some cause I'm still going and we could read over it during your breaks." He said, handing him some chocolate as he grabbed him so he wouldn't fall. Maybe plastic dishes would be a good investment too. He would ponder that as he would stop by the mall before going to the cafe. Once he figured Kyoshi was okay he let him go.

"During breaks is when I take sugar pills" he say quietly his eyes closing, it was only a small amount of sugar as really he tried to keep an eye on his money, chocolate was normally used for studying purposes, seeing the chocolate he shook his head "I don't need it... just stressed is all" he say moving to his knees he began to pick up places "We don't need plastic plates we are not infants just so much has happened recently" he say with a light hint of anger as he placed the plate into the wastebasket.

Once done he moved back to his bed and fell back closing his eyes he was no beginning to wish he had never applied once again, as he felt like he was being treated like a child because of something he couldn't help.

Ryou sighed, following him as he crawled onto his bed. "mmm fine. still should have something though." He reached for his bag as it was on his own bed, sighing that he'd have to get up. He grabbed the box of pocky. He went back to Kyoshi's bed and lay there close by. He offered a stick as he felt a bit bad for the change in the mood. He hadn't meant to make him feel babied. "could still get some studying down though. I'm not going because I want to keep an eye on you. The cheesecake is just too good. And, yeah I want to keep an eye on you." He blushed slightly almost thinking of himself as a stalker and a bit overprotective. He sighed.

"I said I'm fine and so I am" he grumble pulling his blanket up over his head. Feeling the other sit on his bed he just turned away he might have been the child out of the two of them but he knew he had enough ability to be able to look after himself, he didn't need a babysitter to baby him. "I'll do some studying before I go, some when I get back" he say in a low tone, he knew his friend had a sweet tooth when it came to Cheesecake, but hearing how he wanted to go and keep an eye on him he was within mixed emotions he was happy that he cared so much even after last night, but he hated the fact that he was still being watched over like a three year old

Ryou sighed, resting his head on what he figured was Kyoshi's chest. "sorry if I keep babying you. I just don't know anything else since I never was allowed to have friends or social activities. But you worry me when you nearly blank out and get dizzy." He mumbled into the boy's chest, clinging to him outside the covers he was hidden under.

Kyoshi remained on his side and curled a little more "I can understand that my blacking out and dizzy spells are worrying they don't happen often though" his voice showing that it was truthful "Stress and lack of sugar cause it" he close his eyes "I've never had time for friends nor for social activity's either, to tell the truth you are my first and only friend" he confess feeling even lower about himself now

"hey, at least you're not alone." Ryou pulls the covers down just enough to kiss Kyoshi's forehead. He understood what Kyoshi was getting at though. "I'll try not to bother you too much about it then." He said, offering a forgiveness treat of pocky. He found it funny that he was nearly pushing Kyoshi out of the bed by cuddling as close as he could. He would grab him before he'd fall though, unless they both would.

"Not anymore..." he say with a small voice, feeling his blanket coming down he curled a little more, a light blush coming to his cheeks as the top of his head was kissed "I don't mind you bothering me, you kind of remind me of my elder brother, he was overly protective too" she say his voice warm but tired, bringing the blanket down he seen to pocky and placed it into his mouth "Thank you" he smile a little, though he found it strange that Ryou was holding onto him so close, but felt so much better that it was because of his body weight he hadn't landed on the floor "Why did you call me hot?" he ask his voice showing confusion on such a compliment, he had been called it before at home but it was different he was so similar to his brother all be it of a social status and had very few life skills but still it felt a little awkward

Ryou blushed lightly. "Because you are. Anyone would be lucky to know you. I didn't just mean your looks either. Your personality and just you." He averted his eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed. He meant every word though. He didn't mean Kyoshi was hot on just looks alone. He loved every thing he found out about him in the short time they were roommates.

He shook his head a little "I do not believe so, I just came to the realization at an early age that as my family where less well off than many other families even in my community, that if I wanted to be better and help look after my parents I needed to study and work as hard as I could" he say truthfully lowering his head, he truly didn't see anything special in him, but then when he had always beaten down so much because of he looks, how smart he is and how little had it takes it's toll on how he looked at things

"I don't care if you don;t think so. That's your own choice. When do you have to work? You can go back to sleep and I'll wake you maybe an hour before." Ryou says, still on his bed and not leaving soon. "You are. everyone else just doesn't see that in you because they only thing from a rich point of view."

"Right after school, but I may go early since I have no lessons, but then I still have to get you a gift" he say pulling the blanket back over his head as he blushed once more at the others compliments he didn't want to argue with him but he felt unworthy of such praise "Money is only material, there is more to life than one of the deadly sins" he say quietly with a sigh 'Greed makes good people corrupt' he thought to himself

"Ah. When did you think on going so I know. You still look pretty tired so you should get some rest." Ryou didn't push the compliments more than needed, resting on his still. He was a pretty comfy 14 year old he had to admit. He would probably cling a little more like this, not too much elsewhere though.

"I haven't thought about it, I don't even know what I am wearing tonight" he brought the blanket down and looked to the hanging Yuuki uniform and closed his eyes 'please not another skirt' he thought to himself for a moment "I don't need sleep, I'm good please stop worrying" he say with a small yawn, he bit his lip as the thought of last night moved back into his head

"But you're body is saying otherwise. Ah who knows...we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully for your sake nothing slutty." Ryou would only like seeing that himself, not anyone else seeing. "I try but then I guess I can't fully not. could be worse...at least that skirt was no mini-skirt." He tried to help reassure him it'd be fine whatever the costume was. He'd talk with the manager if he had to. Just until Kyoshi was more used to showing off more skin, like the skirts. He noticed him biting at his lip, rubbing his thumb over to get him to stop.

"I had a restless night is all, and little sugar" he admitted, he didn't want to sleep at the moment as he knew he had somethings to do "I got paid five hundred dollars for the notes I done and sent away like I said I want to send some home and I need to pick up so fabric... I want to make you something as a thank you" he say gently, though on hearing what he said he didn't know how to take it as it was like mixed signals to the boy as it could have been 'I don't think you look good, so don't be revealing' or 'I am being overly possessive and protective and no one should see your form' even though confused he didn't want to say anything and make himself seem like a naive child. When Ryou's thumb went to his lips he turned his head so it wouldn't be touched, and kept biting his lip

Ryou sighed, sitting up in Kyoshi's lap. "I mean you shouldn't have to wear what you don't want to if you feel you're being taken advantage of at work. I don't need anything honest. You want anything else...chocolate?" He asked as he leaned forward, his hands on either side of Kyoshi's head on the pillow. He would get up if told to if Kyoshi wanted to get up. He still wondered about the kiss though, smiling as he zoned out for a moment. He then looked at Kyoshi, blushing a bit.

Looked to Ryou as he sat up and listened to everything that was said "If I am to keep this job then I must do as I am told, I don't get to pick and choose what I like and what I don't like" he said truthfully, he was completely unaware that it was because of what Ryou had said that he had wore the outfit he did last and any female outfit to come "You have been taking care of me, I want to give you a present but you said things of sentimental value is what you cherish so I will make you something" he say smiling though shook his head "Chocolate is what I use when I study" he was quite sure they had been over that one before but pulled up his blanket once more

Ryou pouted at the chocolate refusal. "I know but it's already on the plate." He felt a little guilty about the costume thing. Though he'd done that when he just wanted some entertainment, not knowing he'd end up crushing so hard. "Thanks...what would you like that's sugary then?" He asked, uncovering the sheets from Kyoshi's face again. He found it cute how he tried to hide away.

"I only eat chocolate when studying" he reconfirmed he didn't want to see him pout its just when he was with his parents money was so tight he had to be careful when he enjoyed chocolate and when he had a sugar tablet as a supplement instead, hearing the question he shook his head under the blanket, as he felt his blankets being moved he clung to them so they wouldn't move

"what about fudge. That stuff is so good and made of like pure sugar." Ryou had bought some recently and had a little left too. He lay flat on his stomach, still on Kyoshi. It was slightly amusing to see Kyoshi being so shy. He wrapped his arms around, trying to hug him in his sheets. "you know i'd do anything for you." He stared at the sheets where Kyoshi hid his eyes, blushing slightly as he said that. He would get up and let him go soon, when he stopped trying to hide in his bed.

"I'll be fine I had a maple syrup with my pancakes" he said with another yawn, though felt the others weight on him once more and blushed a little "Is there any reason you are leaning on me?" he ask quietly, he didn't want to offend the other, his eyes going wide as he was hugged over his blanket "Y-You don't have to, I-I'm capable of doing it myself" he say once more feeling like he was going to be babied. Feeling the other get off his bed he closed his eyes he was still confused about his feelings as such things where yet to be explained to him

"You sure. Get something then." Ryou stuck out his tongue childishly before heading to the bathroom for a few. He figured Kyoshi was confused with himself, so he'd give him time to sort out things in his mind. "by the way, you're really comfy." He shouted from the bathroom before coming back out. He decided to sort out the homework by time. Reading being the longer of it all.

Kyoshi brought the blanket down just enough to uncover his eyes "I-I still don't need anything" he say softly, he bit his lip lightly once more as he watched Ryou walk into the bathroom "I'm sorry for last night... I don't know what it was I just..." he closed his and pulled the blanket up over himself again he wanted to get it all out but he was anxious

"Mmm you're just confused right now. Don't apologise for something you're uncertain about." Ryou said, pondering if Kyoshi had too much stress and stuff too. "When's the last time you've ever gotten a free massage? It helps lift stress and tension. Even if it's just a shoulder rub." He asked, sitting on his bed. He was thinking of offering a freebie of sorts.
