Alex slowed his candy consumption as Kuro talked. He had always found comfort in singing and talking, even if he wasn't greatest, and even the thought of going mute scared him. For Kuro to have almost lost the ability to do something he loved really struck a chord with him. He sat up, wrappers falling off his shirt.
"Hey, if you ever need a new arm, just come to me, and you can have mine. It's not like I'm using it for much..." He chuckled a little, but it had a hint of care and concern behind it. He had very little ability to console people, so he tended to joke when he didn't know what to say. He scratched the back of his neck nervously. He had unknowingly dampened the mood with his question, and felt he needed to fix it. Then his face brightened and he grabbed his sketchbook. He sat on the edge of Kuro's bed and grabbed a pencil. "The past is the past, but sketches are forever! Unless I erase them, of course. So, how about showing me some of the basics?" He smiled eagerly.

Alex enjoyed drawing the chibies. They were simple and a little ridiculous, much like his personality. He struggled a little as they started, but soon they were making short adventures featuring chibi versions of each other. Alex was having a lot of fun, and from the looks of it, so was Kuro.
As they worked their way through Alex's sketchbook pages (it was a cheap book, so he didn't mind using so many of the pages), when they came to a page randomly in the middle with a sketch on it. Unlike the other sketches in the book, this one was very professional and finished. It showed what appeared to be a much younger version of Alex and an older boy climbing a tree. It was very detailed, and an incredibly drawing by any standards. Alex lost his smile the moment he saw it. He began tearing it out of the book and folding it up to put in his pocket. "Sorry, didn't notice that one... We can just use the next page." He began drawing again, but his energy seemed to have been sapped.

As Kuro chuckled, Alex joined in. Kuro laughing just made Alex want to laugh too. Granted, a lot of things made Alex laugh, but this was still nice. He took a long look at the map. The academy was huge, with so many buildings and structures. He saw the pool that Kuro had mentioned, not far from their dorm. "The pool sounds fun! I haven't been swimming in forever, and I should probably work off all that sugar and fat I ate. Oh, and I have new swimsuits!"
Alex tossed the map on the bed and dived under his bed. He tossed out some cheap flip flops, a towel, then said "Aha!" He stood off and showed off two swimsuits. The one on the left was a normal pair of trunks, covered in incredibly vibrant neon swirls. Looking at it was like staring at a laser light show. The other was a speedo type suit, covered in the same design. "They came in a 2-for-1 pack. I feel like the one on the left is 'Hey, look at my awesome new swimsuit!', but the one on the right is 'Hey, look at my awesome new swimsuit... AND my awesome legs!'" He comically lifted his pant leg like a model to show off his "awesome" legs. "What do you think I should wear? You're artsy, so I trust your opinion. Then we can grab your stuff and go!"
