Datura Stramonium

[Y/N] jolted awake,panting as they sat upright.They turned their head to the side to see Neige sitting down on a chair near the bed looking confused and concerned.

"Are you okay?"

Nodding their head,they looked back forward,trying to calm themselves and steady their breathing.

"What...what happened...?"

Side glancing to see him give them an odd look,he didn't respond.Making them even more confused.He moved his gaze to the floor and seemed to be in deep thought.It was quiet for a while until he looked back up and quietly spoke,just loud enough for them to hear.

"What do you mean?you just fell asleep again.."

An alarmed expression replaced their confused one.Neige stood up to get something from the book shelf above,letting [Y/N] see what he was doing at the table earlier.

Upon seeing a book,pencil,and eraser,they remembered they still had class.Eyes widening realizing they were absent for at least two days.They weren't sure if Neige excused them or not,because he was currently the only person who knew of their state.

They had gotten the idea of asking him.They carefully picked out their wording in their mind,mustering the courage to ask while doing so.

When they had finished thinking,he had already sat back down and started to write again.Opening their mind to speak,not a single word came out.Their voice got stuck in their throat.They closed their mouth again and slightly furrowed their brows.

Swallowing the lump in their throat,they inhaled sharply,but tried their best not to sigh.They finally spoke but their words came out as a barely noticeable whisper.

"Neige,what about my classes?..I have to be at least absent for two days now.."

He stopped what he was doing,the sound of his pencil coming to a halt.A few seconds pass by,he turned his head a little,enough to see them.A small smile evident on his pink-ish lips,he quickly closed his eyes to hide the dead look in them.

"I told them you were sick and under my care.Don't worry about it."

Although his voice seemed way too firm and planned,they didn't think much of it.Its Neige,after all.But they are worrying about all the activities and home works they missed out on.They were concerned about the missing works,but they shouldn't be thinking of that at the moment.

A few days have passed by now.

How long has it been ever since you have gotten out of Neige's room?

Probably a week,or so.

They wanted to leave.To go to their classes again.Do what their supposed to.

Check in on Yuu and Grimm.

Neige kept convincing them to stay though.He kept telling them how they were still so sick.How he can't just let them go around campus in this state.

After every meal [Y/N] had in his room,he oh so nicely shoved pills down their throat.Saying it was their medicine.

Never have they felt even more sick after taking medicine.

Every single day,they asked him the same questions.When will they be able to leave and what about their studies.

One day however,his answer changed.It went from silence or a quiet 'soon' to:

"What?Aw [Y/N]-san...do you not like it here?is it not fit for your liking enough?..is that why you wanna leave me?"

It was obvious he was trying to gaslight them.But they panicked and tried assuring them they don't wanna leave him.

they just wanna go back to their room again and retrieved their old schedule..

Each passing day,they grew more and more suspicious of the 'medication' Neige was feeding them.It looked nothing like anything they've ever seen before.It looked...odd.

They gave him a suspicious look every time he told them it was time to take their meds.

And if the pills he gave were weird,he was even more weird.To say he's been a bit too...touchy and tender to them was an underestimation.

His body heat was always near them whenever they were awake.Hell,it felt like he was beside them even when they were asleep.

It honestly was concerning.How his phantom loomed over them every millisecond.But they couldn't think of that at the moment,their mind was too foggy to even process anything happening.

They barely could even move or talk the more days pass as they took the medication.They wanted to stop drinking the pills.To stop Neige.To get out of his room.

One day,Neige was too occupied.His schedule was cramped with school activities and other celebrity jobs.Completely forgetting about giving you the newer pack of medicine since the old once ran out.

Finally having their consciousness back,the hard slap of reality hit them like a bus.

Neige,no wonder he was so persistent on feeding them those pills.

You wondered how he even got his hands on Datura stramonium pills.

It must have been why it took him a while to give you new ones.

But This, was finally the perfect opportunity to finally leave.
