TW: Second hand embarrassment /hj

Nicole dropped Gumball and Darwin off at school. It was Darwin's first day! Gumball was super excited to spend the School day with his little brother for the first time. Nicole kissed Darwin on the forehead after he left the car.

"Goodbye kids, be good!" Nicole called to them.

"We will!" They said in unison.

As Gumball walked up to the school he was jumpy and energetic, as usual, but then he noticed that Darwin wasn't walking next to him. He looked behind him and saw his little brother shyly walking behind him.

"Everything ok, dude?"

"Huh? Yeah, yeah everything's fine." Darwin began to rub his arm. "Just a little nervous, that's all."

Gumball put his hand on his brother's shoulder reassuringly

"Awwww, buddy, you have nothing to be nervous about."

"B-but this is a new school! I don't know anyone and-"

He began to hyperventilate. Gumball spoke to him in a soft voice.

"Hey, hey! Easy there, calm down, calm down."

Darwin sighed.

"There's one person you know."

"Who?"

"Me! And I know everyone! I'll walk you through it, you have nothing to worry about, I promise!"

"Y-you promise."

"I promise."

Darwin smiled. "Thank you."

"C'mon lil bro, we gotta get to class before we're late."

Gumball grabbed Darwin's arm and ran into school.

Everything went smoothly, that was until recess. Gumball ran ahead up him. Darwin tried to catch up to him, but he fell into the dirt. He got up on his knees and dusted himself off. As he did so, he heard laughter from behind him. That's when he realized that he didn't fall, he was pushed.

He looked behind him and saw Tobias Wilson wiping a tear of laughter.

"A fish with legs? You gotta be kidding me!"

"Oh, uhmmm..."

Darwin looked down at his legs. He was overwhelmed and didn't know what to say as this was his first time being picked on. He just blurted out "sorry."

He began to get up, but he didn't get a chance as Tobias asked another question.

"How did you get your legs anyways?"

"Oh! Well..." Darwin wanted to say "You coulda just asked," but he was pretty scared. He just wanted to do whatever the rainbow figure told him to do in hopes that he'll leave him alone.

"It started when Mr. Dad bought me from a van as a pet goldfish for my brother Gum-"

"So you're a pet?" Tobias interrupted with an eyebrow raised.

Darwin looked down and played with the dirt as he spoke shyly.

"N-not anymore."

Tobias snickered before laughing.

"You- you don't just stop being a pet."

He continued to laugh as Darwin held in tears. His cheeks began to turn an adorable shade of pink.
