Henry was really beginning to get the handle on this thing called school. Well for the most part anyhow. Well until he brought chocolate covered grasshoppers to school. He was sitting at the lunch table popping them away. Jasper sat down just shaking his head. Maggie was off at some other table, after seeing the grasshoppers she had made a fine exit for the door. "Why…?" Jasper hated to ask.

"They taste surprisingly good you known, their high in protein – A hand was put in front of his face Jasper had stopped him.

"Okay okay I get it." Jasper said he poked one of the insects cringing slightly. Henry held one up offering it. Jasper blinked and was about to reach for it then let his hand drop. 'No I think I'll pass." The day went on as normal, or well as normal as it got with Henry around.

At home Jasper was trying to study, when Henry busted into his room with a handful of rocks. He dumped said rocks onto Jaspers bed. Jasper rolled his eyes placing his math book down. "Could you just for one second not go into apache mode?" Jasper asked pleadingly. Henry ignored him he was rearranging the rocks on the bed into some kind of size order. "Alright what you find? So I can get you out of here."

Henry looked up a rock in his hand. "These things I found them buried in the backyard."

"You dug up the backyard again?" Jasper sighed and picked up a rock. "So…what are these?" He asked trying to understand why Henry did these things, but figured he'd never understand.

"It's pure zinc rock." Henry said taking the rock form Jasper and setting it back down. Then he began to go into a lecture about what zinc was and Jasper just picked his book back up ignoring him. However a thumb came down between the pages and yanked his book down. "Are you listening?" Jasper nodded flicking Henry thumb away."So anyway I thought I'd go online to see what all zinc does for the body you know."

"Are you going to try to find the cure for cancer again?" Henry commented over the rim of his book. Henry just ignored Jasper and gathered up the rocks going out of the room. He had left one by accident and when he was out of sight Jasper dropped his book and picked it up. "Zinc huh?" He mumbled. He jumped out of his bed and went to his laptop. He scanned the few pages of information finding it dull. Then something popped up that made him slam his laptop shut with some force. He scrambled out of his bedroom finding Henry at the main computer.

"Henry!" His voice was between a yell and a squeak. Henry just waved him off still reading the pages of information on his own computer. Then he found the same place that Jasper was at. They both stared at it, reading over it, a few times. "

"I didn't know zinc boosts testosterone…did you?" Henry asked as if it was a normal question. Jasper just shook his head trying out grab control of the computer mouse but Henry held it away from him. "What's your problem?" Before Henry could start lecturing on this subject Jasper clamped his hand over his mouth.

"Don't…I mean it.. Don't you dare!" Jasper ordered. Henry nodded slightly and the hand was removed. Jasper now went to the kitchen sink rubbing his hands in soap trying to rid his hands of what was now on his hands. "Get rid of that stuff."

"Why it's good for you, it..-he got a death glare from Jasper who was looking over his shoulder still scrubbing his hands."How about I just keep it away from you? Deal?"

Jasper hung his head sighing. "Fine, just…don't do anything weird" He heard a laugh, or something like that.

For the next couple days, Jasper didn't really have Henry randomly showing him things, or telling him long winded things about some kind of plant. Which was bothering him to say the least; he was use to having him bother him even just a little bit. He came out of his room crossing the living room to Henry's room. He placed his hand on the door to knock but he heard a noise that made him pause. Jasper was not one to spy, but for some reason he was curious. He placed his ear to the door lightly trying to see if he could hear. There was a rustling of what sounded like either sheets, or papers, it was hard to tell. Then the series of noise that came after made Jasper back away from the door, his face stark red. He back peddled toward the kitchen and opened the refrigerator and then slammed the door shut loudly. He heard either a yelp or a cry of alarm. A few minutes later as he sat on a stool near the counter Henry stumbled out he looked, well horrible. Really he looked like he had been run over by a steam roller, his eyes were a bit sleepy looking and he had dark circles under his eyes., not only that but Jasper could see beads of sweat coming from his forehead.

"You alright Henry?" Jasper asked lightly trying to cover his voice. Henry seemed to ignore him and opened the fridge and opened the milk carton and drank straight from it. Henry never did stuff like that. "Henry?"

"I am fine!" Henry snapped slamming the carton on the counter. He ambled away and headed for the bathroom. As he went out of sight Jasper scrambled for Henry's room. The place was a mess, the rocks that had gone out of sight were strewn over Henry's desk, some were crushed into smaller pieces, and others almost looked like powder. Jasper looked to the computer it was on but the monitor was switched off. He warily flicked it back on, and he got his answer, strewn all over the screen was a perverts dream come true, he cringed switching the monitor back off. He looked down at the rocks again and the powder seem to have a scrap marks through it into a drawer. Jasper opened the drawer and he winced again. Clear capsules of the rock powder were strewn through the drawer.

"What are you doing in here?" Henry voice said. Jasper spun around seeing Henry in the door way. "Get out of here!"

Jasper didn't move and inch. "Henry your sick…look at you, when's the last time you slept."

Henry just stared at Jasper his eyes slightly lidded. He was heading for the drawer when Jasper shoved him away from it. "Henry!" Jasper found himself shoved back and he fell backward landing half crumpled on Henry's bed. Henry on the other hand had grabbed a handful of the capsules and was shoving them in his mouth. Jasper scrambled to his feet grabbing Henry's hand and wrenching it from his mouth. The pills flew all over the place. Jasper then was grabbed and forced backward and onto the bed.

"What the heck are you doing Jasper?" Henry screeched his hands wrapped around jaspers wrists. Jasper wasn't sure if he should be afraid or not, he had never seen Henry like this.

"Henry please..stop.." Jasper barely lifted himself when he was shoved back down. He was so much weaker then Henry he knew that he wasn't going to fight his way out of this, and his father was gone on some trip. "Henry!" There seem to be a glimmer of sanity that flashed across Henry's eyes and his grip lightened.

"Jasper?" Henry's head seem to hang slightly as his grip fell away and he fell backward, his body going completely comatose. Jasper sank to the floor over Henry gathering him up into his arms.

"Henry! Wake up..Henry!" He was shaking him desperately. He saw Henry's eyes flicker open slightly.

"Jasper…what..What's going on?" He head was lying in the crook of Jasper's neck.

"I don't know I want to know the same thing. What did you do with those rocks?" He heard a grunt as Henry pushed away slightly.

"Nothing..i…nothing."

"And the computer? Jasper asked, there was silence, Henry didn't say anything.

"I am sorry...I should have thrown those rocks away like you told me." Henry admitted. He groaned then, he was feeling sick. "…Jasper…they still haven't warn off…" Henry glanced at the pills all over the floor and so did Jasper.

"What should I do?" Jasper asked without hesitation.

"I don't know…I don't feel well." Henry's hand moved to Jasper's shoulder trying to move but just found his body didn't want to listen to him. He suddenly felt himself lifted off the ground. He was being moved and then he was placed on covers of a warm bed. He blinked. He was in Jaspers room now.

He felt a hand on his forehead. 'You feel hot." Henry felt the hand moved down to his neck and around his face. "…tell me what I should do."

Henry looked into Jaspers worried face. He turned to the side as he shook his head. "Leave me." He mumbled. Jasper shook his head bringing Henry back to look at him.

"It's my fault too. I should have just tossed those rocks out." They looked at each other; one looked just about over the edge, the other worried and blaming themselves. Jasper leaned his head closer their foreheads touching. "I really ought to pay more attention to you." Jasper's lips met with Henry heated ones and Henry let a gasp of surprise. However when Jasper came up to pull away Henry wouldn't allow it. He pulled Jasper close and moved him switching their positions.

"Your right…told you so." Henry commented, they both laughed slightly but that changed as Henry moved reclaiming the lips that had left his.
