With the bout of energy from getting his first good nights sleep in a long time. Aoi happily moved about his apartment, cleaning up as he hummed softly to himself. After a quick morning cleaning session, Aoi grabbed his bag again before making his way out to go shopping.

Maybe it was the fact that he didn't wake up feeling scared of nervous, but he wanted to actually cook today. The good mood continued as he went about shopping as well as even into putting away the stuff he bought after returning home.

Making a soft stir-fry as with some veggies and steak. There was a side of seaweed salad and some crab salad. Though it was just enough for himself to eat. No point in wasting food ah?

When Aoi had finished making his lunch, he went over to log onto his game, enjoying his food while looking through his messages. A few comments about the group feeling regretful the meeting had been canceled and some other lighthearted comments of teasing.

When Aoi had finished reading the majority of his pending messages, he began to reply to the few that were simple enough while ignoring those that he didn't really want to answer with short comments of 'It's fine, just stuff happened.' and a few other non really meaningful replies.

How could he just go off and explain that he was the nut job who had passed out in front of the restaurant ah? It was to embarrassing!

[[God_of_War]]: Hey, Everything okay?

Aoi glanced at the new message for a moment before pulling up the chat.

[[V1RUS]]: Yes. Just had something come up and couldn't attend. Sorry

He replied, feeling a bit bad. GOW was the one who had agreed to pay for the meal after all, and he wasn't sure if there was any down-payments or something like that to secure the table.

[[God_of_War]]: It's fine. I had something come up too.

[[V1RUS]]: Alright, I'll try to make sure to make it next time though!

[[God_of_War]]: We'll have one rescheduled at some point. But right now I'm not sure when I'll be free.

[[V1RUS]]: That's fine. Just let me know when it is then.

[[God_of_War]]: Sure, Did you want to go and practice some more with those class skills?

With the shift in conversation, Aoi found himself once more lost into the game as he went about helping GOW work on his secondary and third skill classes.

Time swiftly passed by, as the two enjoyed just the pleasure of sparing with one another, finding that regardless of who won or lost, it was still enjoyable. With no hard feelings, nor any arguing they just relished in increasing their skills while testing out new strats.

It wasn't until GOW had said he needed to go that Aoi realized that he'd spent the majority of his day sparing with the other. Looking down at the clock, he blinked a few times before replying with a few words before saying his goodbyes and logging out.

Pushing himself up from the chair, Aoi then went to wash the empty dishes he'd had left to the side, before once more taking the medication along with a light dinner. Afterwords he washed up a bit before crawling into bed, enjoying another peaceful nights rest that was a bit shorter than the one before.

This went on for a few weeks as Aoi pushed off the appointment he'd set. Though the medication gave him an extra hour or so of sleep per night, and more regularly he still didn't like the idea of going to talk to someone. Instead it made him feel ill at the thought of once more going back to the hospital.

Besides, he now that he was no longer there to be forced into an appointment, it wasn't like they could make him attend the damn thing right? But like all good things, they soon came to an end as his prescription had slowly been used up.

When someone who rarely was able to sleep, managed to sleep for a few hours each night. It was hard to go back to the long nights without sleep. He would toss and turn in a fretful manor before giving up and trying to find something to distract himself.

Easily he slipped back into his poor habit of staying up all night, or only sleeping when his body forced him to. It didn't take long for his mood to drop again, and his body to feel completely warn out.

Grabbing his bag, Aoi made his way out to head to school, feeling his heavy body protesting as he locked the door behind him. It took a great amount of effort for him to just get dressed these days. Why was it harder than before ah?

Grumbling to himself, he began to shuffle his way to the elevator before he bumped into a sturdy chest, having not been paying much attention to where he was walking.

Rubbing his nose, Aoi glanced up only to freeze as he looked at the same doctor that had been trying to call him for the last few weeks.

"ah…Hello" Dr. Bai Yi had said as he looked down at the small male before him, his own shock clear on his face. He hadn't realized that the patient that refused to return for his follow up appointments was living in the same apartment building as him!

The two looked at one another before realizing that there was only two apartments on this floor, thus that meant not only did they share the same building, they were neighbors…

Bai Yi smiled slightly as he crossed his arms, looking at how the smaller youth shifted in an awkward state of embarrassment. "You realize I've been trying to get a hold of you yes?" he asked in a dull tone. "Though, now it seems I don't' need to call you in order to find you…" his gaze was teasing as he glanced behind the youth at the apartment door that didn't belong to him.

"Should we just make it home visits instead then?" he asked in a teasing tone.

Aoi's expression soured slightly as he looked up at the larger male. Though he didn't really know what to say. Who else ran into the doctor they wanted to avoid just outside their home ah?

(( GOW = [[God_of_War]], I'm making it easier for myself to type out ;w; no judging! ))
