Shaun decided to vent so he self inserted himself in a fluffy Shuichi oneshot, you can stop reading now since this is pretty much for my own viewing purposes.

(Shaun's POV)Normally I'd at least fake being okay during my classes, but even that was long gone. I stared down at no point in particular at the floor, not knowing what time it was anymore. Usually I had a very good sense of time, but it seemed I had no will to keep track anymore. Not like it mattered, anyways. I just had to get through existing for these painful six hours as always.
Nobody ever bothered me once, and I've been doing this for a while now. I sort of did my homework, usually it was incomplete but I didn't care as long as I could get partial credit. I had established A's during mania, so who cared if they slid a little bit or if a few missing assignments showed up?
"Okay, as you wrap up..." the teacher began, though I wasn't listening. Something about homework due Monday. I probably hadn't even started if it was Thursday. I'd probably start Monday ten minutes before the due time- assuming I even remembered. Usually I was asleep for so long at home I forgot about all my homework.
The bell rang for lunch and all the students filed out one by one, except a couple who needed little side conversations first. I didn't really listen or care, and kept to my seat in the corner of the room. I didn't have a desk or a chair, but that was the point for me. I didn't deserve them; I didn't deserve to look at my classmates who actually worked to have a good opinion from the teacher. I was just there because it was in my schedule.
The last student had a somewhat long and cheerful conversation with my teacher before leaving in good spirits to the cafeteria, which made me envious. But then... something unusual happened: the door opened to reveal my friend Shuichi.
"Ah... I thought Shaun might be here. Do you mind if I stay here with him?" Shuichi asked the teacher.
"If Shaun doesn't care then I don't care," my teacher looked over at me for a response though all she got was the tiniest shrug that it was almost unnoticeable, but she knew what I meant from experience, "Be nice to him, then. I'm gonna go have lunch with my friends now. Anything before I leave, Shaun?"
Again I simply shrugged, so she left the room. Shuichi slowly approached me once she left and pulled up a chair, sitting in front of me. However, I didn't look up to meet his face, instead just seeing his shoes and the bottoms of his pants because of the way I held my head.
"Shaun... why don't you go to the cafeteria?" Shuichi asked with a concerned voice. He'd deduced I was going through depression and somehow managed to figure out I was self harming even though I didn't tell him anything, so this question was a little surprising since I figured he'd know.
"...I don't wanna have the chance of people telling me to eat. And the cafeteria's too loud," I explained with a sigh.
Shuichi was quiet for a moment before letting out a small sigh, "You're anorexic too, aren't you...?"
"Yep... I thought that one was obvious," I mumbled guiltily.
"You at least need to eat something though," Shuichi prompted.
I picked up a mini packet of Ritz the teacher had given me before she left, "These are good enough. They're... 200 calories for the whole thing. That's a big breakfast, don't you think?"
"This shouldn't be the only thing you're eating," Shuichi shook his head.
"Well, it is. If you have a problem with it then I can just throw this away or give it to somebody else," I threatened with a harsh tone. I was purposeful in my threat: I wasn't angry with him at all, but I was scared and afraid of him finding out how to persuade me to eat more. That's why I pushed everybody away. Unfortunately, he could see that...
