When I'm with You | BenRazor | Completed

Bennett returned to the classroom and sat down beside Razor awkwardly. "Here's your clothes."

Razor took them from the boy and just placed them in his bag. He was beginning to regret what he had said earlier.

Bennett nervously scribbled on the corner of his notebook. He didn't want to overthink anything.. but he'd never been called cute before.

He wasn't really sure how to react. Wait.. did I make things weird by not saying anything?

Bennett wanted to slam his head on the desk. Idiot.

"Alright class today's almost over, we just have one last announcement." Mr.Kaeya spoke as he entered the classroom. "As you know, each year the juniors get to take a class trip to a camp for fun."

Bennett looked up in surprise,"People actually do those?" He asked Razor, completely forgetting the awkward situation he felt.

Razor nodded.

"The money is due by the end of this week, so make sure to ask your parents and get your permission slip signed." Kaeya spoke before dismissing the class.

"Are you going?" Bennett asked.

Razor shrugged and sent Bennett a text.

I usually don't go.

"Oh.." Bennett thought about it for a moment,"I kinda wanna go.. Will you go if I go?" Bennett asked again.

Of course I would.. Razor thought to himself, but opted to not tell that to Bennett.

Sure.

Bennett felt a wave of relief come over him, although he wasn't sure why. "Also Razor, do you wanna hang out after school today?"

Razor shook his head.

Can't today, sorry :(

"Oh.. okay." Bennett frowned, standing up and holding his backpack. "Text me later at least?"

Razor nodded and Bennett smiled softly. "Bye Razor." Bennett waved as he left the classroom.

Razor sighed and looked down at his phone to see a message.

Li Jing:
Pick up my kids from school.
Be on time.

Razor stood up, wearing his backpack and walking to the elementary school. The boy stood at the front gates waiting for the children.

"Razor's here!" A girl squealed and ran up to him, wrapping her arms around his leg.

Razor patted Mei's head gently and looked up to see where her twin brother was.

The boy in question was struggling to take a toy back from another boy.

Razor's eyebrows drew together with concern. He gently picked up Mei, placing her on his hip, and approached the boys.

"R-Razor. He won't give it b-back." Liu sobbed.

Razor glared at the boy harshly.

Feeling frightened, the boy dropped the robot toy and left it with Liu.

"Th-Thank you." Liu hiccupped, standing up and grabbing Razor's free hand.

For the past few days, the twins mom had been putting more work on Razor, and asking him to pick them up.

Razor didn't really mind though, he felt like he owed her for the hospitality she had given him for the last few years.

"Razor.. will you make lunch?" Mei asked sitting at the kitchen table and working on her school work. Which was actually just coloring a picture.
