Ryujis head was melting, the skin was tight with his clenched jaw. His eyesight was blinded and his brain felt like it was bleeding yet at the same time begging to crawl out of his head and honestly, he kind of really wanted it to happen right now.
The headache was dull in the morning, the same pressure he had practically everyday, the one he went to ignore and of course it came back to attack him later throughout the day. There were just so many people, the lights were too bright and his hand was cramping and his vision was doubling. The pain had began to circulate around behind his eyebrow, he ignored it too believing it was just from trying to focus without his glasses but as the day kept and kept going on the pain traveled behind his eye, up his head and around to the back where his neck started, giving pain to his lower back.
So now he was standing, or at least trying to, his arms crossed as he awaited for his friends, every few blinks ended up with him tumbling into the wall beside him. Now his hand was supporting his tired weight against the wall, his free hand allowing his fingers to massage at the skin of his forehead that seemed to be vacuum sealing itself, all he wanted to do was take some painkillers and lay in a dark warm cave until it was over but even so if he tried to sleep it off it would be back to the dull headache.
Ryuji looked up when the voices of his two friends greeted him, Konekomaru and Renzo smiling as they walked over “hey bon! You good? You look like you're about to pass out” Renzo said as they got into his space.
Ryuji didn't answer but took Renzo's hand, placing his palm against his eye, slowly Renzo's hand circulated to the side, his palm rubbing up to his head and around his eye. “Migraine?” Konekomaru asked, getting an affirmative hum from Ryuji, Konekomaru gave a hum back and helped slid Ryujis bag off his shoulder before going through it. “You're medicine isn't in here”
“..I know, I left it in my desk..” Ryuji whispered, his untouched eye peeking open to look at Konekomaru before at Renzo when he whispered “then you should eat before we get you back to the dorms, rather you be counted absent from your Migraine than suffering the rest of the day”
“I'll suffer either way..” Renzo rolled his eyes before looking at Konekomaru who got his signal and left to get Ryuji something warm to eat and drink. Renzo watched him leave before helping Ryuji sit down, taking off the jacket of his uniform and pulling it over Ryujis head before going back to trying to massage the pain out, his palm running down to his jaw. Usually, Renzo would be the type to get a nurse or stand awkwardly until the person was helped but with Ryuji he couldn't help the way he took over for him when he was in pain, maybe it was because he was the bocchan, or because he knew what to do..or possibly something else. He wouldn't dwell on it, Ryuji was with Okumura, he made his choice of who he wanted to be with and he wouldn't get in the way of that.
They stayed like that for a bit until Konekomaru came running down the hall and over to them, he sat down in front of Ryuji, lifting the jacket a bit so he could help him drink the warm bottle of green tea while Renzo helped him eat the warm sandwich “Sorry it took me so long bon,” Konekomaru whispered “I had to microwave the sandwich, they were freezing cold” Ryuji hummed but ate as much as he could until he got nauseated, pulling away and curling up, his head buried between his knees.
“Hey koneko, can you get okumura? He'll be able to carry him to his dorm unlike us-” He giggled softly as Konekomaru nodded and got up, running off to find Okumura. Renzo sighed and leaned against Ryuji, soothing his hand up and down his back until he spotted Konekomaru coming back with Okumura “hey, is he okay?” He asked “yeahhh..not really, bons got a Migraine and none of us can lift him like you could”
Okumura gave a curt nod before moving the jacket, picking Ryuji up bridal style and pulling the jacket over his head so he could encase himself in the darkness again “Shima, could you come with me to help?”
“A free excuse to skip? Count me in” He ignored Konekomarus disappointed sigh, letting him leave as he and Okumura walked to the dorms, Ryuji was slapping Okumuras shoulder weakly to get his attention where for now they were headed to the bathroom “help him undress, I'll get a shower started” before Renzo could try and get them to switch Okumura was off and out of view, leaving Renzo to sigh in defeat as he held ryuji up.
“Alright, I'm sure you can undress by yourself,” Renzo said, watching him do as needed. Now turned around and trying to bite off his oncoming blush. Okumura had perfect timing, with a small thank you to Renzo he was guiding Ryuji to the showers. Renzo let out a held in breath before leaning against the wall. After a few seconds he stood “aye okumura! I just remembered I have a test I have to do so I'm going back to class!” Renzo slightly yelled, getting an okay back before leaving.
Rin was in the shower with Ryuji, his fingers running through his soaked locks, rolling around his head with his nails lightly scratching his scalp, he did his best to ignore Ryuji's moans, he was arching into the touch, his eyes closed and even tho the shower was on he could see the tears sliding down his cheeks from the gruesome pressure in his head. “It's okay ryuji..once you feel better we'll get you into bed and some medication, once you wake up I'll make you some seaweed soup” He ran his hands down and over Ryujis ears to make some of the noise go down, for now Ryuji would listen to only the sound of the shower head while fighting off sleep, nausea, and his killer Migraine.
Before he knew it Rin was scrubbing through his hair with conditioner and shampoo, then next his body, helping him wash off before out of the shower and into a towel while he used his warm flames to dry him off. Now he was changed into less restricted clothing, under the covers, medicine took and rins warms hands rubbing against his body over the blanket and soon he fell onto a much more comfortable sleep than he had planned
