Love is a Sweet Poison

"I am sure that Sensei will understand in the note it says that I will be able to make the exam up during gym class since I am unable to participate in that class." Amelia flips through all her class information. "It looks like I do not have a lot of work that I need to catch up on. I have some of this already complete as I work ahead when I am at home."

Irene knocks on the door and comes in and smiles. "It is good to see you, girls, again. Thank you for being such good friends with Amelia."

"It is not a big deal Suzuki-san. Amelia is an important person to us and we have no issues bringing her, her homework. It is just sad that she is unwell." Sachi bows her head.

"Mother! It is as Sachi said. We would do this all over again in a heartbeat as she is our best friend. She is always finding ways to help me out." Ami smiles big and wide.

Amelia gets up Slowly, "Mother, can you show me where you placed my school work. There are some assignments that I need to send back with Sachi so that it is handed in on time."

Irene walked over to the chest and started to pull out all of Amelia's school things. "I haven't placed them out yet as I did not know if there was a place that you would like them." She quickly stacked out the school supplies.

Amelia went over and started going through the papers and found the assignments that had not been due yet and smiled. She placed that to the side and continued to sort until there were two neat piles. "Thank you, Mother. I was able to find all the assignments that are not marked yet. Your help was greatly appreciated."

"Of course. I will move these back inside the chest if you do not need them?" Irene watched Amelia and was smiling cheerfully.

Sachi got up and picked all the pages Amelia set aside and brought them to the table. "We are here to help when you need it."

"Thank you, Sachi. Mother, there is no point in putting it away. I will get Miyuki to help me put it away later. That way I will be able to reference it as needed." Amelia got up slowly and got a little lightheaded so she stood still with her eyes closed.

Ami was still trying to work hard on her embroidery as that is what she promised. She finally fixed her mistake and looked at her work proudly. She placed it down and caught sight of Amelia. She got out of the spot and offered Amelia her shoulder to lean on. "If you need to rest you can do so. We will be quiet while you do what you need to do."

"I am sorry. The room is spinning. I will lay down and rest for a little while. I should lightly nap so I am sorry." Amelia leaned on Ami and let her guide her to the bed.

Sachi looked at Amelia and Ami. "Just rest. We will be doing our homework assignments. We will be quiet while you rest so please for us, sleep."

"Mmmmk, I will do as you suggest." Amelia slowly gets into bed with Ami's help. "Mother, you must have some things to do. I will be okay." She looked out at the sakura tree and slowly sleep pulled her under.

Gabriel woke up and looked around his room. 'I passed out due to the medicine. One day I will figure out why I cannot beat his sleeping aid.' He sat up and went to the side and peeled off his sweaty yukata. He took a cloth and started wiping down his body and heard a knock at the door and stepped behind the divider in the room. "Come in."

"You sound better. I must say that you really just needed sleep. How many days has it been since you slept well?" Kazuki stepped into the room and was looking for Gabriel.

"Slept well? Hmmmm… I don't remember. I have been so busy so maybe two weeks ago. I was going to sleep better this week and that the girl I fell for fell ill. I was more worried about her than I was about my health. I just couldn't sleep even with my sleeping aid." Gabriel stuck his head out and saw that Kazuki was alone and finished wiping his body down. He got into a new yukata and stepped out.

"You are a fool. You need proper sleep but then again I think I can understand why you can't sleep. Being with your loved one is the most important thing in the world. I look forward to meeting the girl that has tied you down." Kazuki looked at Gabriel. "Since Kosuke is busy on the field I pulled out the carriage and brought it to my place. We are only bringing some of our things and we will come back here to get the rest. I already cleared it with Boss. He will keep an eye on our personal things. I hope that you do not mind."

"If I minded that would lead to bigger issues. As long as I get the herbs that I need, I do not care." Gabriel cleaned up his books and placed them in the cloth square and tied it up. " I want to check in with Subaru. I think I gave him quite the fright."

Kazuki blocked the doorway and looked at Gabriel. "You look a lot better but I do not know if you are okay yet. Let me check you over and if I deem that you are okay then you can go."

Sighing Gabriel turns and sits down and lets his brother inspect his body. "You can tell that I have recovered and that all I needed was some good sleep. Is this really necessary?"
