A knock echoed through the house, it was Monday again. I'd slept majority of the day Sunday, spending my awake hours with my head over a toilet seat or sat next to the radiator. Mom left early to go to work, leaving some porridge on the side for breakfast before I went to school. I couldn't stomach it but I didn't want it to go to waste, so I put it in a container and headed for the front door. Kenma was on the bottom step playing his switch before he put it down and looked up at the container being shoved into his face.

"what's that?" He hesitantly took it before opening it up, I knew he never ate breakfast at home so I used that as an excuse.

"Exactly what it looks like shorty, porridge. You wont grow if you skip breakfast" Of course that caused a huff to come from Kenma, but he didn't respond to it and started eating instead. It was nice to see him eat, maybe it was because it meant moms food didn't go to waste, but also his cheeks always went slightly puffy when he chewed, it was quite amusing to watch.

"oh right, Kenma I have a present for you" I swung my bag round to my front, almost taking the smaller male out along with his porridge. I sieved through the bag until I pulled out a piece of tissue paper with something inside. Kenma put the lid on his porridge so one hand was free and unwrapped the paper, pulling out a little black bracelet with a charm of a switch attached to it.

"I got it from the arcade, I forgot to give it to you at the park"

Kenma eyed it for a second before turning his head away, a frown found its way upon my face as I thought he didn't like it, but when he turned back around his cheeks were a tinted pink.

"You're really cheesy Kuroo"

I took this as a compliment and laughed, opening the bracelet and putting it on his hand as his other hand was occupied. It suited him quite well and he seemed to like it judging my how he was twisting his wrist to get a look at the whole thing. 

The corner of his lip went up in a semi formed smile that he tried to cover by allowing his hair to fall in his face, I should of got him hair grips while I was at it.                                                              

He finished the porridge and gave the container back to me, I need to remember to wash it up before mom gets home from work tonight, it's not that I had anything to feel guilty about, it did technically get eaten- just not by me.

Class was a drag today, we had a substitute which meant today's lesson would be copying from a text book, Kenma had his headphones on and was staring out the window again, how he had better grades then me still came as a shock. 

Surprisingly the substitute asked us a lot about our work. We started answering questions from text books and were asked to preform examples on the board to which she picked us at random. I know its mean but I was really hoping that she would pick Kenma, sure he would probably be able to do it, but his hair always stuck up when he lent on it for too long and I wanted to see it

Of course fate was not on my side, as the next person she pointed at was me. I heard my other acquaintances from class give me sarcastic cheers to which I discreetly suck my finger up to them, sighing as I pushed my chair back and stood up.

I went to walk forward but something stopped me, it felt like gravity was trying to weigh me down. I held onto my desk and took a few deep breathes, earning some concerned looks but also laughter from those who thought I was trying to get out of doing the example.

"Young man is everything alright?" I could hear her foot steps echoing towards me, she seemed so far away and yet the clacking of her shoes sounded loudly inside my head. The room began to slowly spin, a nauseating feeling invaded my stomach as I tried to catch my breath, someone was calling my name, such a familiar voice yet I couldn't see or recognize who it was. I wanted the room to stop spinning, I wanted everyone to stop staring at me like I knew they were, I could feel their eyes on me, watching me, watching my body slowly sink to the floor as I collapsed, eyes half lidded open while someone sat down by my side.

That was the last thing I could remember.
