As yuki left the class he heard a door bang just down the hall, following the sound led him to the boys bathrooms he hurried inside frantically looking for kyo "kyo! Hey are you in here?" he called out no response, at first glance the bathroom was empty, then he noticed one of the stall doors was closed the sound of heavy breathing hit his ears, throwing the backpack on the floor he strode up to the door and tried to push it open, locked, "Kyo, Kyo its just me, can you open the door" he heard the breath behind the door hitch before before a quiet voice spoke
"y..yuki"
"yea, yea its yuki, open the door, you'll get hurt if you fall" no response "kyo! Open the damn door" there was a slight fumble behind the door before it finally released, well shit, kyo stood there grasping on to the side of the stall trying to remain upright his whole body shaking, his eyes were glazed over he looked so out of it his skin chalk white
"yuk..yuki…im..i…gonna" his voice wobbled
"yes I know, shit, you don't listen! Why didn't you stay home when the damn dog told you to?" kyo just stared past him blinking slowly not taking in a word he was saying, ok lecture later yuki thought, "ok, get out of there" yuki gently grasped kyo's wrist to guide him out of the stall, kyo flinched away almost falling as he did it was his wrist which held his juzu beads even in this state his instincts were telling him to protect it, yuki realised this "kyo I won't touch them I'm just trying to help" yuki spoke softly trying to gain his trust,
kyo looked up eyes still full of worry but allowed yuki to help him,
grasping him by the elbow this time yuki led him out to the more open area of the bathroom it wasn't ideal but at least out here he couldn't hit his head on anything
"I….I d-dont…" kyo babbled out, his body overcome with the intense feeling of unrelenting fear, his eyes start to well up,
oh god is he crying yuki wasn't any good with emotions at the best of times never mind comforting the cat of all people, "I know, here sit" yuki spoke gently, kyo all but fell to the floor his wobbly legs finally giving out on him all yuki could do was slow his decent, once kyo was safely seated in the middle of the room yuki decided he needed help, classes were due to swap soon and there would be a 5 minute gap where the hallways are flooded with students, he kept a hand on kyos shoulder steadying him as he swayed on the spot, he pulled out his phone quickly shooting a text to haru (boys bathrooms, east corridor, second floor, hurry!) he snapped his phone shut giving kyo his full attention once again,
kyo muttered nonsense as tears threatened to spill over
"its fine listen you'll be fine" yuki tried to comfort giving kyos shoulder a light squeeze, he never did know what to say he just hoped haru would hurry he was better at dealing with this side of things,
kyo tried to speak again "don't…w…w." tears finally breaking free slowly gliding down his pale face as he fought to find his words,
kyo couldn't help it yuki knew that it's just how his confused brain reacted, he rarely showed any emotion other than anger but in this condition he couldn't keep the walls up, it was kinda scary seeing him so vulnerable, kyos trembling body gave a jolt listing forward slightly as yuki struggled to keep him sitting up he was breathing heavy "hey maybe you should lie down", yuki whips his head round as he hears the bathroom door open panicking its another student he lets out a sigh or relief when he realises its haru ,
"is he alright?" haru immediately springs into action, he takes off his backpack wrapping the strap around the bathroom door securing it to a near by pipe as a makeshift lock ensuring no other students can enter before swiftly making his way over to kyo kneeling down in front of him
" I think it's going to be a bad one" yuki answers
haru sighs immediately reaching round kyos neck loosening his tie and unbuttoning the top of his shirt, kyo stares through the floor struggling for breath oblivious that haru is even in the room, haru cups kyos face gently brushing away the tears and guiding kyo to look at him "hey" he gives kyo a gentle smile "breathe for me will ya"
kyo takes a few shaky breaths scanning haru searching for recognition "h..haru? I..i'm..s..seizu" kyos eyes flash with panic as another jolt takes over his body
"I know, just breathe" haru removes his jacket balling it up he places it on the floor as a makeshift pillow "here lay him back" he speaks to yuki "we just gotta ride it out remember?" he tells kyo as he gently pushes him to the floor,
the second kyo is laying flat his body finally lets go eyes rolling to the back of his head muscles lock as his body is overcome with tension, it knocks the wind from his lungs, his arms extend raising balled up fists in the air, his jaw so tight yuki worries he might break his teeth he pulls out his phone again timing the ordeal, suddenly kyo gasps for air as his body is taken over by relentless spasms, every part of him shaking and jerking, his neck repeatedly bashing his head into the makeshift pillow as his arms and legs jerk at un-natural angles, kyo lets out horrible shrieks and grunts as his chest muscles contract forcing air through his vocal cords
"shh your alright" haru speaks he's sitting back on his knees now hands hovering above kyo afraid to touch him, "I knew this would happen, he looked terrible at lunch" haru said sombrely,
yuki was frozen sitting at the other side of kyo he couldn't help but stare in morbid fascination as kyo continued to twist and thrash it looked so painful, it would be had kyos tear filled eyes not rolled into his head the second it began awareness gone
"uh yea, the fool must have known, I don't know what he was trying to prove" there was nothing they could do but wait it out he checked his phone "just over a minute" he announced informing Haru, glancing down at kyo as he continued to convulse he noticed kyo had gone quiet despite still thrashing, then it clicked "Haru! he's not breathing!" His chest contracting so tight his lungs couldn't expand
" shit!" Haru gripped kyos shoulders shaking him roughly "kyo! Kyo breath!" No response, " breathe! Damit" haru called out roughly shaking him again
"stop" yuki yelled as haru continued to manhandle their seizing cousin " he can't hear you" yuki pushed Haru out of the way before placing his fist over kyos chest rubbing up and down kyos sternum with his knuckles Trying to encourage kyo to take a breath, but it wasn't working, why wasn't it working, kyos veins bulge as his lips take on a blue hue, " damn it kyo!" Yuki shouted putting more pressure into his chest if felt like hours before kyo gasped his body fighting for precious oxygen, relief was short lived as a horrendous gurgle came from the boys lips the result of Silvia building up in his airways, Silvia that he wasn't conscious enough to swallow " haru, his side"
haru looked up to yuki face still panic stricken at the reality of kyo not breathing
" his side! Haru!" Yuki struggled to turn his cousins jerking body " he's choking"
"r..right" haru sprang forward helping yuki to turn his sickeningly stiff cousin,
a stream of Silvia and blood ran down kyos face pooling on the tile beneath him, he must have bit his tongue, his breaths were rattling but at least he was breathing, yuki let out a breath of relief tightening his grip on kyo keeping him in place,
" how long?" Haru piped up
"um 3 and a half" yuki replied glancing at his phone
"shit that's"
"yea it's bad"
haru looked down at kyo the spasms tearing through his body didn't even seem to be slowing it didn't look like It was going to end any time soon, he had seen kyo have seizures before but never ones quite so violent "is there nothing we can do to stop it" haru asked
yuki looked to haru before it suddenly dawned on him "his bag, his meds are in his bag" pointing across the room to the discarded object,
haru hurried over to collect the bag rifling through the pockets looking for the medication, " this?" Haru held out a bright orange tube
"yea that's it" he passed the tube to yuki who just quickly glanced over the instructions before popping open the container, within the tube was a syringe filled with the medication yuki looked again at the timer 4 minutes 20, he kept a tight grip of the syringe whilst holding kyo in place but made no move to administer it
"aren't you gonna give him it" haru asked
"no, once he hits 5 we can give it" he's sure that's what hatori had said he wasn't so sure now, none the less he kept a tight grip of kyo willing the ordeal to end his hands were shaking, haru looked down right terrified yuki had seen much more of kyos epilepsy having lived with him the past year but even he had never witnessed one so intense,
haru rarely seen them occasionally kyo would space out for a few seconds or fall to the ground, he'd shake for maby a minute then be back on his feet within 10 that was about the extent of what haru had seen, witnessing his cousin stop breathing in-front of him it was horrifying,
5 minutes "ok try to hold his head still for me I'm going to give him this" yuki announced
haru reached to support kyos head whilst yuki tried to find an opportunity to slide the syringe into kyos mouth
"wait!" Haru called out
yuki looked up to haru surprised at the sudden outburst
"just wait.. look I think it's stopping"
looking down at kyo he was right, the convulsions were slowing within seconds they stopped completely leaving kyo limp,
haru moved forward to position kyo so he wouldn't fall flat on his face his body no longer tense, there was a moment of silence both boys released a sigh of relief then the bell rang signalling the change of classes, haru and yuki looked at one another eyeing the door hoping haru's makeshift lock would hold up,
"we need to call hatori" haru spoke up, still holding on to kyo he was completely limp and appeared unconscious his breaths sounded forced and wet, he looked awful, "do you think he's going to be alright?"
"I don't know, he'll probably be out of it for a while, your right about hatori, I'll call now"
Yuki picked up his phone dialling the cursed doctor. "Keep him on his side" he told haru
After 2 rings the phone was answered "hello"
"Hatori, it's yuki"
" yuki, this is about kyo yes?"
"Yes..he uh"
"How long was it" hatori cut yuki off
"Um.. just over five minutes" yuki could hear hatori sigh over the line
"Ok I'll be there soon, meet me out front"
Just at that the line went dead "hatori is on his way, it seems he already knew" yuki informed haru
"Wait? How could he have known"
" shigure must have called, kyo had a seizure before school this morning shigure asked me to keep an eye on him, he must have called hatori too"
"He what! Why the hell is he at school"
"Shigure tried to stop him I think but you know how stubborn he is"
Both yuki and haru glanced down to kyo he was still unconscious his eyelids fluttered as his hand twitched lightly a sign he may wake soon. haru was holding him in place on his side his breathing had evened out a little, not sounding as much of a struggle, his breath still crackled when he exhaled though which was a concern, hatori would need to check that "should we move him?" Haru asked
"We will need to, hatori is meeting us outside" yuki answered
Just at this kyo let out a low groan, Haru re adjusted himself to be in kyos line of sight as he began to wake, "hey, nice of you to join us" Haru smiled softly.
kyos eyes wandered lazily around the room trying to focus on everything and nothing all at once, "you had a seizure, that's why your on the ground" haru spoke again kyo breifly locked eyes with haru before his gaze trailed off again, he lets out another groan as he brings his hand up to wipe at the Silvia on the side of his face his movements uncoordinated, not doing much other than spreading it around, he coughs weakly trying to clear his lungs of the crackle, and swallows a few times as a whimper escapes him.
"Here" yuki hands haru a paper towel to wipe his cousins face after silently watching the scene, he wasn't good with this side of things so he would leave it to haru.
"Thanks, Kyo I'm just going to wipe your face, here" haru gently cleaned away the spit and blood down kyos neck and chin, kyo doesn't react " kyo can you look at me?" Haru asks trying to coax the boys attention, kyos eyes lethargically wander searching for the source of noice, he briefly catches haru's gaze, "hey, can you tell me where we are"
kyos eyes skip around the room at this question, trying to make sense of his surroundings, he lets out a noise not quite able to form words " that's alright kyo, that was quite the ordeal, just take your time"
"Haru, hatori is on the way"
"Right, let's try and get you up" haru answers both yuki and speaks to kyo
Yuki moves closer ready to help haru move the cat, haru manages to pull kyo upright to sit wrapping an arm tightly around his shoulders to keep him from swaying, kyo lets out a gasp grimacing as he shuts his eyes tight, he must be sore yuki thought as he glanced over his cousin that's when he notices, letting his own face twist to a grimace "haru" yuki points down.
"Oh…right, um that's alright, why don't we quickly get you cleaned up before we go" it would appear kyos trousers are soaked through having had a accident during the fit, haru looks over kyo he still has his eyes squeezed shut breathing forcefully through his nose as his head lolls forward, "I have PE today there's a change of clothes in my bag" haru speaks to yuki.
"Right" yuki nods he looks around the room trying to piece together a plan, by the looks of kyo he wouldn't be able to walk, "ok let's move him over to the bench" pointing to a small bench placed next to the sinks in the large bathroom "we can get him cleaned up and changed then go meet hatori outside"
"Ok, hear that kyo? we're just going to help you over to that bench" haru spoke
Yuki moves forward taking one of kyos arms around his neck haru does the same at the other side as the two boys hoist the dizzy cat to his feet, they slowly make their way to the bench sitting kyo on the edge, if possible the boy seemed to pale another shade the colour draining from his face haru sits with him keeping him upright, as yuki goes to retrieve the change of clothes.
"Kyo how are you feeling" haru asks trying to rouse the cat he still hadn't spoken kyo didn't react at all as if he hadn't even heard haru, "kyo" haru tried again shaking his shoulder trying to illicit any reaction, kyo shook his head lightly at the motion of being jostled he brought a shaky hand up to his chest coughing weakly, he tried to swallow before a small gag escaped him "yuki, I think he's gonna" kyos body convulsed lurching forward, haru fought to keep him on the bench,
yuki who was returning with the clothes quickly moved the trash can beneath his cousin, just in time as his pitiful lunch made a re appearance, kyo gagged groaning in between bouts of sickness, his stomach was empty nothing left but but acid that seared his throat as it bubbled past his lips a whimper escaped him, just as the sickness appeared to pass kyos eyes began to roll "haru!" Yuki sprang forward to catch his cousin as he began slipping from the bench limp as a piece of string, the sickness sapping him of the last of his strength
"Damn!" Haru Fumbled to keep a grip of kyo it was difficult as he went suddenly dead weight "is he alright?"
"I think he's just exhausted, it's to be expected, let's hurry and get him to hatori"
With some difficulty yuki and haru managed to wrangle their limp cousin into some fresh clothes, kyo didn't stir once throughout the ordeal further worrying yuki and haru, " ok let's get to hatori" haru stated once kyo was placed on his back, slowly they made their way through the quiet corridors.
