how am I supposed to sleep now?? argh,,there are so many emotions inside of me now and..I´ve been waiting for the update,thinking about it all day and..wow..what happend here? and why is it 3 in the morning and I can`t talk to anyone about it XDD so let me sort my thoughts...nino confessed..ohchan chickend out..sho`s an abusive ass...the fight..the stairs..the meds...I need someone to talk to X////X

[arashiforyou]

you can talk to me XDD
i was scared to post this chapter because of the many events happening. especially the ending bit OTL
many things have been revealed, ne. and in the most undesirable way too haha! (oh, i should't laugh)
thanks for reading!

I actually stayed awake most of the night and morning,lying in bed and thinink about the events of this fic. ahh I`m no good when I can`t share my thoughts haha XD but everyon else was asleep. just one question; the virus didn`t break out yet right? since ohchan is so..*searches for words* strong and kinda healthy. Reminded me of a singer in germany who is HIV positive and was accused to 'want to spread the virus'. Back then I was shocked cause I never knew that you could live with this virus without it breaking out. Maybe cause media always just shows cases in which the patient is close to death..? Made me think..back then I really researched the issue,even though I was no fan of that singer

[arashiforyou]

oh gosh, i know the feeling! whenever i read a really good unfinished fic, and i end right when everything is falling apart, it's hard to go to sleep, and you just lay there like O_O
as for your question...well, all i can say for now, without spoiling, is that i did lots of research about HIV before i wrote this story. (it also helps being a health major. haha!) so everything about ohno's virus will be looked over in the next chapter. no worries. but i will say you're on the right track.

[br_arashi]

Well, if it helps, in Brasil HIV is treated by a drug called AZT, and it's pretty common knowledge since there's always out of stock and it's covered by the news.
So much information... I think I'll wait for answers next chapter.

[arashiforyou]

actually, i was researching on the type of drugs for HIV, but then i wanted to be accurate and look up what is a common drug in Japan, but I couldn't find any since there's not many cases in Japan. so then i thought i'll use Truvada and be fancy. but then i was worried if readers wouldn't really know the drug prescription name. i was going to use AZT too. but i figured why not just come out bluntly for everyone to understand.
no doubt i definitely did wanted to say just the drug names, because on real prescription bottles, they don't just say "Hey! this is HIV drugs! :D" hahha! but even still, i thought it'll just make it easier for the readers. :3
thanks for reading!

[br_arashi]

Yeah, I, for instance, wouldn't understand Truvada... But I'm pretty sure almost everybody is aware of the drugs used on their own country, ne?
Maybe now I'm more able to comment, lol!
I was totally captivated by Ohno's thoughts. At first I believed he was disgusted by the kiss, but then I realized he really had not a clue about Nino's feelings.
I also think he has fallen in love with his student, although he seems too dumb to assume it.
I just hope he can get better enough to the ball. It would be a shame if, after so much effort, they had to just give it up.
And Sho is a monster!
I can't believe he thinks he has any rights on Nino! And, for what it seems, although he is not drinking anymore, his behaviour didn't change that much after all, ne?
Waiting for next!

[arashiforyou]

yes exactly! when i looked for common drugs, it's mostly what i found that is common in America, but i could not find if it was common in Japan. i might never know unless i used a proper researching database. (i could use my college library data, but it's too much work) XD
ohno's thoughts are jumbled up at the moment. but he definitely has his reasons for why he reacted the way he did for that kiss, and you'll see that in the next chapter. (deeply hinting that this ohmiya fic might be different from the norm!)
and as for sho, yes! he has a dark side to him. there has been history between nino and sho, and sho's brute behavior was one of them. but don't be too quick to judge sho! please be patient! :3

[coolohoh]

OMG. what what why!

[arashiforyou]

omg, well, because! XDD
the next chapter will have everything explained, don't worry!
thanks for reading!

[atenea005]

Oh-chan!!!...what????!!!!!! HIV prescription drugs??eh? Oh-chan??? and yeah How Nino knows it??????????????

thank you for update!! but eh???'course I'll wait for next chapter!!!

[arashiforyou]

i told you something BIG was going to be revealed! i said it in my author notes! XD
and i was going to just say the drug name and not tell what it actually was for because that's how real prescription drugs are written. but then i thought i wanted to crush your soul more, so i came out and bluntly said it's HIV! plus it saves the hassle of writing a scene where nino has to look up what the drug is XDD
thanks for reading!

[atenea005]

yeah and you did!! It was.....you did!!

iie thank you for sharing!!
