-----------------------

Kaeya spent the weeks he had suspended to smoke pot in his bedroom and regret everything he's done. The day he finally had to go back to school, he was terrified. He didn't want to face anyone.

"Kaeya, hunny, you have school in 20 minutes, please get dressed." His mom said. "I will, I will.." Kaeya yawned. He got up and changed into his regular clothes. 

He looked in the mirror and sighed, he couldn't get out of this. He walked out and put on his shoes and grabbed his bag, "Do you want breakfast?", "No, I'm fine mom." Kaeya said then left.

------------

He was more horrified to face Albedo than anyone else, Albedo hasn't texted the whole time he was suspended. He walked to school as slow as he could.

------------

(at school)

Kaeya entered the school and everyone went quiet, Kaeya looked at the ground and just went to his locker. It felt like everyone was watching him when he was putting his books away. The bell rang and then everyone began talking again and walking to their classes.

While Kaeya went to his, everyone in the hallway was avoiding him.

Kaeya sat in his regular seat and fidgeted with his hands. Albedo was in this class. Kaeya took a quick glance to Albedo's seat, he didn't see him. He began to worry more now, what if he moved schools because of him? Or even worse, states!

No, no, Albedo wouldn't do that..would he? Before Kaeya's thoughts could fill his mind, Albedo came in, 5 minutes late. 

"Late again Albedo, what's your reasoning?" The teacher slammed a ruler down on his desk, "I'm sorry, I came to school late." Albedo sounded different..tired. "Mhm, sure." The teacher rolled her eyes then began her lesson.

Kaeya couldn't focus at all, he just wanted to keep looking at Albedo..he wanted to touch him, hug him, kiss him. He made it his plan to apologize after school.

-------------

(After first period)

The bell rang, this time he had to the same class Childe and Zhongli were in.

He began walking to his class nervously.

-

Kaeya sat down and when he looked up he saw Childe talking to Zhongli with a smile on his face..and a few marks on his neck, some faded and some fairly new.

Childe and Zhongli didn't even acknowledge Kaeya, so he mostly just sat silently in that period

------------

(Next period)

This period he was with Simeon, and Childe. Oh god.

Kaeya walked in and walked to his seat, right before he was gonna sit down he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and was surprised to see Simeon with a nervous smile in front of him.

"Simeon--I'm---I'm really sorry." Kaeya looked away, "It's alright, I get that you're protective over Albedo.  I respect that." Simeon began, "But, just so you know, I'm not into guys. I'm straight, I'm sorry if that confused you." Simeon laughed a little, "What..?" Kaeya looked at him, feeling a little stupid.

"Yeah, please forgive me for giving you the wrong idea with Albedo." Simeon apologized, "You shouldn't be apologizing, I'm sorry." Kaeya smiled nervously. 

"I forgive you, I hope things can go back to normal..and, about Albedo.." Simeon looked away then back at Kaeya. "What about him?" Kaeya asked.

"Well, he hasn't been well..he hasn't been sleeping, and has been acting different. I think it's because you left but..he'd text you wouldn't he?" Simeon asked, "Ah..no, he never texted me." Kaeya replied.

"That's strange..you better talk to him." Simeon sighed, "I will." Kaeya nodded. 

The teacher made an interrupting cough, which made Kaeya and Simeon go to their seats.
