[Kaguya]

Kyoshi would remain in the garden he had the basic sketch done and was now working on giving it detail. Feeling dizzy he picked up the water he bought and drank some quickly hoping it would be enough to take the dizziness away but it wasn't but he refused to change to the sugar water, he wanted to prove he didn't need sugar to get through a day, slowly he brought a shaky hand to his mouth and yawned he knew he was crashing he knew it from the blackout this morning but still Ryou's words and teasing had really got to him more than any of the other students, more so because they lived together. "I-I I don't need the sugar" he turned his head away from the sketch to the left just by that one action if anyone had heard him they would be able to tell he was unconvinced or lying.

Soon though he opened his eyes and went back to his assignment at times taking deep breaths as he tried to use oxygen alone to get him through the day but he had no idea how long that would last but would try and go the rest of the day without sugar.

As Ryou looked though Kyoshi's thinks he could tell his family were on extremely low income to the point many of Kiyoshi's belongings where passed down to him from other siblings, but even though he had little he was still happy and that was shown by the picture he had where he, his parents, two elder brothers and elder sister where all laughing at a small picnic. Getting to the right drawer of his desk however Ryou wouldn't be able to get into it, as it had been locked so it was obvious Kiyoshi had something he didn't want to share within it. in the left side drawer would be a calender stating birthdays, looking though it all the birthdays of his family would be listed as would Ryou's and his own. The drawer underneath held his schedule and it was would now be apparent why Kyoshi slept so little, through work, clubs, homework he just had no time left to himself even with so little sleep. Also in the drawer would be Kioshi's last medical report giving him a clean bill of health but stating his body had become as much dependent on sugar as it had on water and without it blackouts or worse could happen. The medical report had been addressed to the headmaster

[Uzekins]

Ryou finished up on the list and studied the report before going out looking for him. It was almost time for class now and they would have to get there. He roamed around a few places, his last stop being the garden. He was glad because that exhausted him to run around all over. He found Kyoshi barely hanging on as he stopped by. "It's almost time for class. Want to go now since it's almost time for the bell?" He looked like he might black out again, wondering if he'd been avoiding sugar.

[Kaguya]

Kyoshi looked up as he drank the last of the water he had bought hearing Ryou's he smiled a little taking the bottle down from his mouth "It's almost lunch time" he say standing up on unsteady legs placing his sketchpad and pencil into his book-bag and headed towards the roof using the wall to keep him stable, stopping every now and then to take a deep breath before continuing 'I can do it' he kept repeating to himself trying to reassure himself, he himself didn't know what was in his doctors report only what the doctor had told him and that was his health was perfectly fine.

once getting on the roof he found a place to sit in the shade and brought out his lunch, he looked to the bottles filled with sugar and turned his eyes away, "Should have picked up something to drink" he would say to the other when he arrived

[Uzekins]

Ryou frowned. "It's not your fault you get a little dependant on the stuff. Me i'm addicted to those books. Cannot stop buying them." He was also addicted to certain candies and some porn. He could not go a full week without it. Any of those things. He sat and ate what he packed and what Kyoshi had made.

[Kaguya]

Kyoshi looked to the elder boy for a second before he looked down and to the left "I am not dependent on it" his voice was small as he spoke, he knew deep down Ryou was right about his dependency but wanted to prove him and everyone else that he didn't need the sugar to stimulate his mind and keep him going "So I'm going to stop having it in ridiculous quantity" he closed his eyes for a moment trying to get his bearings as to his eyes the roof was spinning a little, after a minute he opened his eyes and pushed his slice of cheesecake towards Ryou "Here" he'd say simply before beginning to eat what he had made

[Uzekins]

"alright. Good luck." Ryou sincerely meant it too, he wanted Kyoshi to break that habit if he could or see how far he could go without it. If need be, the nurse's clinic was open til 8 pm. He was thankful for that since their school time ran so late. "what do we have after?" Ryou asked, checking up on him every so often.

[Kaguya]

At the rate he was going he knew it would be unlikely he would be able to last till the end of the lunch without blacking out but he still wouldn't reach for the sugar water or the cheesecake but sat quietly eating until he was asked a question "I-I-I can't remember" he stuttered honestly, his eyes closing as he tried to focus his mind placing his lunch down he lay on the ground

[Uzekins]

"you alright?" Ryou asked, not wanting to make him upset or anything but it looked like he was going to pass out with how he was lying down. He really figured Kyoshi should be less stubborn and face facts. He might be able to break it if he cuts back gradually, not cold turkey.

[Kaguya]

Kyoshi shook his head to the question "I feel dizzy, frustrated I can't remember what I have memorized and very tired..." he say honestly "I have done since work yesterday and I don't know why" this was also said in honesty, but then while he was at work he couldn't have sugar as often as his body required it, he slowly moved his arm over his head to cover his eyes hoping it would help him think straight "English, math, break, art, drama, break and music to finish" he say weakly as he ran off the rest of today's time table

[Uzekins]

"alright then. I'm sure if you gradually ween yourself off so much and not try to quit cold turkey it might actually work out well. But right now it doesn't look too good from up here." He said honestly as he offered half of Kyoshi's cheesecake back to him. He was really too full to finish it off and it would help Kyoshi out a bit.

[Kaguya]

"I don't need to ween myself off anyth---" his arm slipped off his eyes as he blacked-out once more, he was forcing himself further than he knew he should have, but still the words Ryou and the others had said about his need for sugar made him more than a little aware about he reliant on sweets and he felt like he had to prove them wrong that he didn't need it to continue

[Uzekins]

Ryou cut off a small piece of the cheesecake, making Kyoshi eat it to come to. "I know you're trying hard that;s why I say it's better to ween off in small amounts than to just try and quit like that." He said, he didn't care if Kyoshi was conscious yet to listen to it or not. He added a 'you're too stubborn for your own good...maybe that's why I find myself falling for you' as he honestly meant the last part as he thought of the dreams. He never normally dreamt of anyone at all.

[Kaguya]

Kyoshi's eyes flickered open slightly when he tasted the cheesecake "It's not sweet enough" he would say complaining at his own cooking, he just lay there longer closing his eyes "My body can't function without a high concentration of sugar... it never will be able to, even if I try and ween myself off it" he say his voice showing he came to the realization he couldn't help how he was "Ryou can you help me up... I wouldn't normally ask but my body feels heavy at the moment" he say he had no idea what was said when he blacked out and perhaps that was a good thing as he still didn't understand relationships

[Uzekins]

"Sure" Ryou gave him his hand and pulled him up, pushing him into his chest until he got his balance. He'd hug him until he'd try to push away. He was slightly relieved to see he hadn't heard that last bit. He was still unsure of it himself but would soon believe it to be true. "Now which do you want. I was carrying around a variety of things as I still have most of them."

[Kaguya]

Kyoshi allowed himself to be helped up and even hugged into the chest Of Ryou without a fight, remaining there believing Ryou just wanted to make sure he didn't fall back and knock his head "Is there a frozen yoghurt machine in this school, they are high in sugar, and in this weather are a good treat" he say his hand moving to the cheesecake to eat it slowly yawning a little between bites

[Uzekins]

Ryou was shocked that he was not pushed away as he hugged Kyoshi, not wanting to let go or anything. He did after a few more seconds. "alright. The convenience store on campus might have some of that stuff. If you want to go and check. I like the ones off campus but I keep forgetting we have one too." He packed up his things and helped pack Kyoshi's as he handed him a small sweet to hold him over until they got there.
