Don't Own Boondocks

It seemed like an ordinary day and had started off as such for most of the morning for Huey Freeman but as proven time and time again you could only keep running your body to its limits every day with little sleep and weak meals to fuel it till it sputters out and shuts down to force its owner to rest so they can have the three basic human needs that they were desperately in need of. And it was on a crisp cool Friday morning that Huey's body shut down with the only thing that could stave the total collapse of his body being adrenaline.

The moment he realized he was screwed was when he finally had a moment to breathe in his second-period math class having skipped ahead and completed the work a few days ago. It only took a few minutes for the first warning signs to appear. The first of which was all his hair standing on end as if preparing for an imaginary battle where they would somehow be of use. The second was his muscles tensing up and making it very uncomfortable to be sitting in a hard plastic chair. His thoughts were of the panicked angry variety. "Shit Shit what the Fuck man why are you doing this nothings wrong we haven't been in any danger or stressful situations lately why is this happening man I had shit to do today this just had to happen now couldn't be when I was alone no that's too much to ask apparently God damn it ok I can do this just have to make it through the day then when I get home I can pass out on my bed and wait this out till tomorrow yah I can do this just need to focus on anything else and keep myself busy." And the plan was set he had managed to keep his attention on schoolwork his phone switching from app to app and numerous tabs to keep up with his rapidly dwindling attention span. But he had succeeded in making sure no one was suspicious and attempt to "help" him for Gods sakes he wasn't a baby his body was just being a dick today. At least it was Friday and he had the whole weekend to waste if he had to.

But the next challenge was not going to be as easy as it was in school. See because at school there was constant movement and things going on to stimulate him and keep him from breaking down. But for the half hour he spent waiting on the bus he had a chance to catch his breath and with nothing to do it was only a desperate attempt to force the problem back into its box till he was home and could be away from everyone to deal with this on his own. He wasn't in his usual state while waiting. He normally just chilled leaning against the brick wall on his phone texting Jazmine or on a conspiracy site to see if any of them were a reality. But today he kind of walked around trying to hold on to a scrap of adrenaline to make it home in one piece. It was only when he his legs were screaming out in protest demanding he sit down that he finally went back to his usual spot and leaned heavily on the wall looking like it was the only thing holding him up. His vision started to blur the effort of clear focus being tossed aside to conserve energy. He managed to wait the final ten minutes till the bus arrived hanging on by a thread through sheer willpower which while he had an abundance of wasn't of use in this situation only buying a few spare minutes of time. Luckily it was all he needed to be awake and get on the bus. However the final part of his plan had fallen through as the moment he had sat down and his last reserves had been exhausted he immediately sunk into a numb empty state.

He started blankly at his lap the window having too many objects rushing past to focus on. His hands lay at his sides limply numb and useless like the rest of his body. He spent the ride home in total silence missing the glare his brother gave him that was a mix of confusion and worry for his brother having already cancelled his normal schedule to fix whatever was wrong with his brother his first actions were to make sure Huey got inside ok and then immediately go get Jazmine to help as she was the only one who had both the knowledge and care to help people that weren't sick enough for the hospital or emergency room but were still sick enough to require immediate and careful care.

When they had reached their house Riley carefully pulled his brother out of his seat and dragged him inside without anyone noticing and Huey other than the glazed hollow look on his face seemed perfectly fine walking normally and heading inside where Riley shoved him upstairs without any hesitation a look of determination and fierce protectiveness on his face that meant there was no way anyone would get in between him and his brother. While it was mostly shown on Huey there was no underestimating Riley's brotherly instinct. They both had a deep guarding nature towards those they developed close bonds to and heaven have mercy on the poor souls who threatened those they loved.

He made sure his brother was at least in bed his shoes being torn off by Riley because damn it you don't put your dirty ass shoes on your bed that's how you get roaches and bag by the door before he left quietly out the room and shutting the door not slamming it like he usually did. After he was out of the room Huey safe and accounted for he rushed down the stairs going as fast as he could to find Jazmine so he would have someone competent to watch him already having the excuse needed to get grandad to leave him alone he was really tired and looked sick which technically wasn't a lie. Huey lay in bed motionless still conscious with his only thought being "Well this is gonna suck"

AUTHORS NOTE so yah Huey's body pretty much revolted because he pretty much runs into everything full force with ignoring every signal to stop and give them something more than the bare minimum to survive at this point he doesn't even get the signals it just filters them out automatically so then shit like this happens which yah from personal experience it sucks badly and no you don't learn a lesson from it when it gets to that point so Jazmine's gonna come in and force him to just chill for the weekend and watch him like a hawk for a few weeks afterwards anyway the idea came from EbonixBrats fic Hard White which is really good and welcome to the fandom and fanfiction community if your reading this thanks and if you liked this please review
