Interaction with TestuTestu, could maybe possibly be read as romantic if you look through the right angle but is mostly just very friendly with a bit of trying to ‘save face’

Summary: Early in the morning c/n runs into TestuTestu in the staircase and he doesnt seem to be doing too well at the moment.

--

"Shit!" A gruff hushed voice whispered, clearly annoyed or mad in some way.

Upon hearing the expletive c/n looks up to find the metallic hero student TetsuTestu… leaning against the wallrailing of the staircase. He closes his eyes and tries to calm the nausea that slowly settles down, yet the slight ringing in his head doesn't go away quite so easily.

"Testu?   ..... You okay over there?"

In shock he turns toward c/n's voice and as he moves he clutches the railing a lil tighter, keeping his balance better and ensuring he stays in place (as opposed to say falling face down on the stairs).

"C/n!? What, what are you doing there?" The boy tries to straighten his posture to make it seem like he wasn't relying on the railing of the staircase to keep him from falling over.

"It's pretty early I've never seen anyone else in this staircase at this time."

"Oh I was actually trying to return something to (name of some other 2a student) before it got too late."

"But TestuTestu." The seriousness in the tone of their voice worries and somewhat confuses him, causing his eyebrows to furl in response.

"You haven't answered my question. Are you okay over there?"

As they spoke c/n walked up the stairs towards the kid who finally seemed like maybe he could stand on his own.

"A-ah, um. I'm fine, nothing out of the normal. Just on my way to get some breakfast, yknow gotta get something in the stomach before starting the day."

At this point they're within a more normal distance for a conversation, and c/n's brows also furl after taking in the physical condition of their classmate.

"You're looking a lil pale, and. You do know you're shaking right?"

/what/

"Well barely shaking nearly swaying. You sure you're feeling okay dude? Wanna sit for a moment?"

.... 0.0

"I just need to get some food first then I'll be fine.... can't really take my iron supplements on an empty stomach."

The problem in this solution is getting to the kitchen or dining hall to get some food, and theres three sets of stairs between him and this goal. Stairs that would be much easier to traverse if he wasn't off-balance and tired.

"Ahhh. May I ask, you've said you have an iron deficiency, is it making you dizzy or nauseous right now?"

"Um, yeah actually. But I'll be fine. How, or, why do you know that it can appear like that?"

"Oh, I actually deal with a fairly similar condition. I get presyncope symptoms too, and in trying to figure out why my body does this I read about how iron deficiencies can cause the same things." "If you're desperate right now, or if you just think it'll help, I got some salt with me."

C/n reaches into one of their pockets to reveal a tiny repurposed mint container, shaking it to hear the tiny tiny sound of salt clusters shaking in the container.

"You don't have to its yours!" TestuTestu tries to courteously refuse but c/n is already shoving it towards his hands.

"I have extras in my school bag and somewhere in my room. Just take it. I'm not sure if it'll help you like it does me but it won't hurt to try. Go ahead."

They smile as TestuTestu grabs the container from them and opens it. "Thank you."    He pours the salty contents in his mouth and makes a grimace-y face at the intensity of the taste.

"I'm actually gonna just sit here for a minute, but you should really get that thing to (name from before). Maybe if I'm still here by the time you're coming back down we can both go grab something to eat before the day actually starts."

"Oh shit, (name from before)'s items. Thanks." They start to ascend the stairs again. "And Testu, take care of yourself and be careful on these stairs when you're dizzy like that alright?"

"Alriggghht." He fakes annoyance but end his sentence with a beaming smile as c/n climbs the stairs to the next floor.
