Everlasting Winter

Spilled milk

Todoroki POV

The next morning Fuyumi came into my room to get me up.

"Shoto I heard your alarm, you overslept," Fuyumi says soft.

I try to speak but my left eye started hurting again. I moan in pain as I hold my face.

"Shoto what's wrong?" She asks.

"My eye really hurts," I say.

"Oh Shoto, let me see," she says worried.

I sit up and move my hand away from my eye. Fuyumi puts her hand on my cheek.

"Your eye is shaking badly. Did you forget to use your drops last night?" She asks.

I shake my head.

"Is your vision bleary?" She continues.

I nod.

"I'll get Natsuo to come up and help you while I try and set up an appointment with Dr. Nurko," she instructs.

"You don't have to call him," I say frantically.

"Shoto if you eye is hurting, we need to talk to Dr. Nurko about it. You could be losing your vision faster than we excepted," she explains.

"I guess you're right," I sigh.

She smiles "I'll get Natsuo to help you put some drops in and then put your patch on, so the light doesn't bother it, okay?"

I nod.

She leaves my room and goes downstairs. I stand up and walk to the bathroom to grab my prescription eye drops and a white eye patch for later. I go back into to my room and Natsuo is already there. I hand him the drops and patch and lay down on my bed.

"Let me know if it hurts okay," Natsuo smiles.

I try to stay as still as possible while he is putting in the drops. After he is done, he helps me sit up.

"The shaking is worse than normal. Let's hope Fuyumi can get you an emergency appointment," he says putting on my patch "how does your eye feel now?" He asks

"Better, the patch helps," I say.

I jump at a sudden knock on the door. The door opens and Fuyumi walks in.

"Dr. Nurko had an opening this morning. The appointment is at 8:30 so we have just over an hour to get ready," she smiles.

"I'm I going to school afterwards?" I ask.

"Yes, you will hopefully get there just before lunch," she says.

I sigh and get my uniform. Fuyumi leaves to allow Natsuo to help me change. I could probably change on my own but when my eye is bugging me it's way harder, so Natsuo is kind enough to help me. After I'm changed Natsuo, and I head downstairs. I head straight for the table and sit down. I already feel nauseous, and eating would only make it worse. I was lost in my own world until Natsuo puts a bowl of cereal in front of me.

"Shoto, you need to eat something," Natsuo says kindly.

"I'm sorry I can't," I say.

"All I ask is that you try," he says back smiling.

I sit at the table for a few more minutes before getting up and going to my room to get my school bag and gather my homework.

"Nice try Natsuo" Fuyumi sighs cleaning up my untouched bowl of cereal

"Why won't he eat?" I hear Natsuo asks.

"Natsuo, we both know why he doesn't eat," Fuyumi says.

"I know," Natsuo sigh, "but it still doesn't make it right. Our baby brother hates himself so much that he makes himself throw up on purpose. We must at least make him eat something," Natsuo pleads.
