Kai rolled over in bed, hearing the alarm clock ringing. He turned it off and rolled back to his place on the bed, his eyelids where heavy and even the thought of getting up for school made him more tired. He sat up in bed and felt a stinging pain on his wrist, he looked down and cuts on his wrists. He tried to remember what lead up to this, he stopped himself, not wanting to think about it right this moment. Kai got out of bed, he was going to school depression or not. He went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror, seeing his blank crimson eyes. He turned on the water in the sink and started to wash the cuts and his face, once he was done; he walked back into the bedroom and started to get dressed for school. Grabbing two of pills of his medication, he walked downstairs. He took a seat in one the chairs in the dining room, seeing breakfast on the table and his grandfather not in his chair.

He looked up at Mary who was washing dishes. She looked from the dish she was washing, and smiled at him. He smiled back, feeling a little better from the smile he got.

"Where's grandfather?' Asked Kai as he started eating his breakfast.

"Still sleeping in his room, why?" Asked Mary she finished washing dishes and took a seat at one of the dining room seats.

"The depression's acting up again." Said Kai as he stopped eating breakfast.

"Oh no, are you okay?" Said Mary as she put her arm around his shoulders.

"No, I did it again." Said Kai as he pulled up the sleeve of his shirt, showing the cuts on his wrist to her.

"Oh, let's get that cleaned and bandage up. Okay?" Asked Mary as she got up from her seat.

Kai nodded as he also got up from his seat and followed Mary to the downstairs bathroom and watched her get out the first aid kit, and started cleaning the cuts with alcohol and once that was done. She had bandaged the cuts. Letting go of his wrists, she stood up and walked out of the bathroom, Kai following behind her.

"You don't have to go to school if you don't want to." Said Mary as she took Kai's breakfast in the kitchen.

"No, it's okay. I'm starting to feel a little better." Said Kai as he took his medication and put on his shoes.

"All right then, have fun and be careful." Said Mary as she watched Kai leave the house.

Kai walked down to school, still feeling the effects of the depression. He just hoped Tyson wouldn't see him like this. Once he got to school, Kai saw Tyson looking around. Spotting Kai he started waving, smiling at him. Kai smiled a warm feeling taking over before feeling the darkness of the depression taking over him once, reminding that he felt like shit. He walked up to Tyson, bidding him a good morning before walking to his English class.

"Good Morning, Kai" Said Tyson, giving him a big smile.

"Good Morning, Tyson." Said Kai.

"Are you okay? You don't look so good." Said Tyson as he walked in front of Kai and stopped, seeing his blank eyes and how his smile never reached his eyes.

"I'm fine, Tyson. Honest, let's go before the teacher gets mad at us for being late." Said Kai as he walked away from him.

Just then, he felt Tyson grab the back of his shirt and pull him into an empty classroom. He pulled away from Tyson, giving him glare.

"What the hell was that for, Granger?!" Yelled Kai as he looked ready to slap Tyson upside the head.

"Kai relax, I just noticed that you look more tried then you did yesterday, and your eyes are blank. Are you sure you're okay?" Asked Tyson as backed away from, with his hand up to his chest and waving.

"I'm fine Ty-"Kai stopped speaking as he watched Tyson give him a hug.

"Kai, you can tell me, you can trust me. I won't tell anyone." Said Tyson as he let Kai go.

"I won't tell you, you need to figure it out for yourself." Said Kai as turned around and left the classroom, leaving Tyson by himself.

Tyson pouted, Kai was closed off than he thought. He left the classroom and walked down the hallway, knowing that Kai was already in his seat. He got to class just before the bell rang and sat next to Kai. He stole glances at Kai, looking away when he thought Kai was looking at him.

'Okay, first of all. He looks tried and has blank eyes. What's different about him today?' Thought Tyson as he looked at Kai.

He started noticing that Kai had dark circles under his eyes and he looked ready to fall asleep. Tyson, once again, looked away when Kai glanced at him. He looked back at Kai when he looked down to take notes. He also noticed that Kai looked a little pale, not enough to be scared, but just enough to notice.

Once was over, they had headed to lunch. It was then Tyson noticed Kai swayed a little. It was only after they had gotten lunch, which he figured it out.

'Kai has depression!' Thought Tyson as he ate lunch but slower this time, as to not anger Kai.

When they had gotten out of lunch and had their last classes of the day. They had found an empty classroom and sat down; or in Kai's case leaned, in of the chairs.

"I figured it out." Said Tyson, proudly

"And?" Asked Kai.

"You have depression, don't you?" Said Tyson as he watched Kai's eyes widen and then close. Opening them again, he looked down at Tyson.

"Yes, you're right Tyson." Said Kai as sat down in one of the chairs.

"Why didn't you tell me when I asked if you were okay?" Asked Tyson

"Because."

"Because what?"

"Because one: I barely know you. And Two: I didn't know if you would start telling everyone." Said Kai as he held up two fingers.

"Okay, I agree with that. But I'm not the type of person that would start telling people that." Said Tyson as he pulled down Kai's hand.

"But, there's something else." Said Kai as he looked down at the floor.

"What's that?" Asked Tyson.

Kai rolled up the sleeve on his arm and heard a gasp as he looked up and saw Tyson's shocked face.

"That's what." Said Kai as he felt Tyson run his fingers over the bandages.

"Why?" Said Tyson, tears welling up in his eyes.

"This is just part of the depression." Said Kai as he watched the tears roll down Tyson's cheeks.

Tyson put his lips on every one of Kai's bandages and kissed them, only stopping he got to the final bandage. He looked up to see Kai's blushing face.

"W-what was that for?!" Asked Kai, the red blush on his face getter redder.

"That was to remind you that I'm here if you need help." Said Tyson, giving a Kai a smile.

"Whatever." Said Kai as he turned his away, the red blush on his cheeks, now a dull pink.

"Anyways, let's go." Said Tyson as he held out his hand.

"Yeah, let's go." Said Kai as grabbed Tyson's hand.

Hand in hand, they walked out of school. Better friends then they were before.
