The day seemed to have gone by pretty quickly. Most of his classes seemed to be with Alfred, so at least he knew someone in his classes. Though, the two classes he didn't have him in seemed to be his first period, and his seventh period. Other than that, Alfred was in the rest of him. Eventually, the eighth and last bell of the day came around, and Kiku could tell that he wasn't going to enjoy it.

Gym.

He walked with Alfred through the rather large gymnasium, before he led the male into the boy's locker room. "The one next to me is empty if you wanna take it!" Alfred offered while he flashed Kiku a smile, and, in return, he nodded faintly, a tiny smile on his lips. "Thank you very much, but, I do not have any gym clothes on me." He spoke as the two made it towards the back of the locker room, where Alfred's locker was. "Oh hey, don't worry! Coach usually provides gym clothes for us." He said, then pointed towards the room in the back. "Clothes should be in there if I'm right, go one and pick your size." With a simple nod, Kiky began his way into the back room after setting his belongings on the bench. Walking inside, he noticed the obvious odor coming from the room. It was rather overpowering, he had to plug his nose as he began to find a shirt and a pair of gym shorts that would fit him. "Hey." Kiku jumped at the sudden voice, turned around, only to see the gym teacher standing there. Seeing the surprised look on the student's face, he gave a faint chuckle. "Relax, I'm not going to hurt you. The other students tell you you're my new student, is that correct?" Kiku slowly nodded at the question, and the gym teacher grinned.

"It's nice to meet you! I'll make sure everyone goes easy on you today, okay? Now, hurry up and change, class will be starting soon." Again, Kiku nodded and when the gym teacher left, he was quick to search for clothes small enough to fit him, and he returned to Alfred, who had already changed into his gym uniform. When seeing the Asian return, he gave him a small grin. "Hey! The other guys had already left for the gym, so, hurry up and we can get going too!" Kiku slowly nodded as he walked back to his locker. "Um.. Alfred? Do you uh, mind turning around? I'm not so comfortable with someone watching me change clothes." He admitted while an embarrassed blush made its way to his pale cheeks. It took Alfred a small moment to react, before he chuckled, but, nodded away as he began to turn around. "Sure dude, I don't mind!"

And with that, the American had turned right around, giving Kiku the privacy he very much appreciated. Giving a small nod, he quickly changed out of the current clothes he had on, before he placed the gym clothes he had. Placing his previous clothes into his gym locker, he shut it, before turning over to look at Alfred again, telling him that he could turn back around. When he did, though, he went to grab Kiku's wrist, and literally dragging him out of the locker room, and into the gymnasium, where, the teacher was explaining the game he had in store for his students. Of course, it had to be the worst game of all time; Dodgeball. Kiku was awful at that game, well, he was awful at gym period. So he knew he wouldn't have a good time. At least when the teacher was splitting up his students, Alfred was on his team, so at least he could rely on the American, because from the way that he was built, he did seem like he was a sporty person. As people went on their side, Kiku almost immediately walked on over to Alfred, who was quite happy when finding out that Kiku was on his team, and gave him a grin once Kiku had close. "Hey! Great knowing you're on my team, don't worry! I'll make sure no one hits you, alright?" He gave Kiku a wink, and in return, he slowly nodded.

Dodgeballs were set in the center of the room, and the second the teacher blew the whistle, everyone was off, except for Kiku, and a few other people who like Kiku, were not a sporty type.

Alfred grabbed a few of the dodgeballs, before rushing back to Kiku, and began to throw them at the other team, hitting one of them, which Alfred got lucky, that person was about to throw a ball towards him.

The game went by pretty well. Kiku stood behind Alfred the majority of the time, and Alfred kept his word by making sure no one would hit him, that is, when he was bending down to pick up a ball, he was hit on the shoulder, and was officially out of the round.
"Dude! Not fair!" Alfred huffed, before he turned to look at Kiku. "Sorry man, I can't keep my promise, looks like you're on your own until the round is over." He told the Asian as he walked to the side lines.

Oh boy.. This isn't good. Kiku was already nervous as he looked at the other team. Some people were whispering to their teammates, while at the same time looking at Kiku with rather devilish grins on their faces as they both nodded. One by one, they went to other members, whispering in their ears, and eventually, whatever they all agreed on, they all stopped throwing their balls, and waited for Kiku's team to eventually run out of balls to throw. Once they did, each person from the other team picked up a ball of their own, and walked towards the side of the gym, where Kiku was. Instantly he realized what they were doing, and it was a little too late for him to react.

Dodgeballs were thrown, and almost every single one was thrown at him, hitting his stomach, legs, arms, and when the last ball was thrown, he could have sworn this kid had massive throw, because when it hit him right in the center of Kiku's face, down he went, his vision growing blurry by the second. The teacher blew the whistle for everyone to pause what they were doing, before he rushed to Kiku. Students began to swarm around the two, Alfred being one of those people. He pushed past everyone so that he could finally get to Kiku, and when he did, he kneeled down right at his side, calling out his name. But, Kiku didn't respond. He seemed quite out of it. But, there was one thing he heard.

'Alfred, get him to the infirmary.'

His head was pounding, and he felt dizzy. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a completely different room.
How did he end up here?

Memories of what had just happened fled through his head. Oh right.. I was knocked out during Dodgeball. Good going Kiku! It's your first day and you're already in the infirmary!

"Kiku!" He heard a voice. He looked around, only to have his eyes land on a familiar blond, who was staring at his friend with a worried look. "Oh, Alfred-" He went to sit up slowly, only to be pushed back down by the American. "Don't force yourself to sit up, dude." Kiku only nodded lazily, before he felt something shoved in his nose. Reaching up slowly, he went to pull whatever was in it, and expect it as best as he could.

The first thing he noticed was blood. He could assume it was just a tissue in his nose. He tossed it, only hoping that a trashcan was next to him. "How long have I been out?" Kiku couldn't help but ask once he looked at Alfred again. "About an hour. School is already out. Do you have a way home?" Kiku shook his head slowly. "My.. My father doesn't come home from work until nighttime.."

"What about your mom?"

Kiku frowned slowly. "I- Uh. I don't have a mom, not anymore.." He trailed off as once again he went to sit up, this time, being much slower, and this time, Alfred didn't force him to sit down. "Oh dude, I'm sorry, I didn't know.." Kiku shook his head "It's okay. I honestly don't have any memories of her. She passed just after having me.." He told Alfred, who was still frowning, but, he offered to help Kiku up. "Here. I have a truck I can drive you home in that, just tell me where you live." He flashed Kiku a friendly smile, and in return, Kiku gave him a rather faint one as he allowed Alfred to help him, and with that, and after gathering his belongings, the two left the building. The two were still in their gym clothes, but, Kiku didn't care, really. He could just change at home. When in the truck, he told Alfred his address, and as he began to drive them home, he pressed his head against the window. It was a decent drive, about a ten minute drive, and when they got there, Alfred helped him inside. It was a decent home, a home big enough for him and his father to share. He told Alfred that he could handle it from here, and as a response, Alfred let go of him, and watched a Kiku walked over to the couch to sit down.

"Thank you, for helping me." Kiku told Alfred as he turned to look at him. Flashng the Asian a grin, he shook his head. "No problem, dude! We're friends now, right? That means I'll help you with anything!" Alfred exclaimed with a laugh, and Kiku couldn't help but smile faintly while he gave Alfred a faint nod.

"And goes for you too. I'll help you with anything." Alfred's grin only grew as he heard that. "So, I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" Alfred began his small walk over to the door.

"Mhmm. Though, I'll be skipping gym tomorrow." He said with a tiny chuckle. It wouldn't really be the first time he did that. Back in Japan, he almost always skipped gym because he was never good at it. Chuckling, Alfred began his way to the door.

"Alright, bye!" And with that, Alfred left.
