Ven’s breath clearly hitched as the other blond got closer - then it hitched again because the first sharp inhale actually hurt. Oh now he was going to try talking to him? Unfortunately Ven didn’t have it in him to actually say anything in response.
“Uh… yeah,” His voice was hoarse, clearly from being in the cold. But everyone being worried? No, he’d only just started at this school. The first damn day! Teachers probably sent this kid out after him out of pity. Ven didn’t want that, and they sure as hell were doing a lousy job at making a complete lookalike tail him outside.
This was definitely just a hallucination from his new meds, wasn’t it?
Ven took a few more moments in silence, palm pressing to the center of his chest as the cold finally reached his core. He stood up abruptly, facing anywhere except towards the other student, and sidestepped around the other side of the bench. Every bit of his body language was either trying to curl in on itself to keep warm, or run away from the other teen. It was probably the worst combination but Ventus quickly turned back towards the school doors and hurried back, taking wide strides in hopes of leaving the other blond behind.
And of course, returning indoors just met him with a wall of teachers that were on their way outside. To check on him probably.
“I want to go home,” It was a demand, his expression was quite upset and Ven was not going to take no for an answer. Sure the day had only started, but given that it was a horrible start to the day, had him dreading the next few hours. The anxiety was so bad that tears were already welling in his eyes as he tried to glare at the principal. “I… can’t. Not today, I want to go home. Now.”
[ ✨ ] – Roxas seemed to relax a little bit once they headed for the school again. Shit, it was cold. The blonde shivered and began to rub his arms to try and bring heat through friction. Ventus was pretty fast and Roxas had to jog a bit to keep up. His feet crunched in the snow and breath showing with every exhale.
Upon entering the school, Roxas blinked at the wall of teachers. He heard Ventus beg to go home for the day and he could see the principal open his mouth to say something. “Sir, with all due respect, I think it’s best if Ventus is allowed to go home for the day,” Roxas interrupted the principal before he could say anything.
The male closed his eyes, as if in thought. “Sir, he isn’t ready to be here yet. I do not know about his past or what had happened to make him come in halfway through the year, but he isn’t ready. Look at him shaking--” Roxas was about to say more when the principal raised his hand. The teen shut his mouth and waited.
“I understand that Ventus is in a tough situation, but I can not allow every student to skip school because they are not ready to return. If you are truly unable to return due to medical reasons, I would need a doctors note. But the doctor cleared you to return Ventus.”
