POV: Third person

The busy halls quickly turned silent as the bell rang and all the students rushed to their classes. Zak slipped through the halls, trying to find his class down at the end of the large building. He spotted Zelk, George and some others who he couldn't bother to care about, talking near some lockers.

Zak quickly gave them a salute before trying to walk passed them, but he was pulled back by his hoodie and forced to stand beside them. "Zakky boy! Come join us!" Zelk gave a big grin, but Zak only shook his head, "Uh guys, can y'all let me go? I kinda promised Darryl I'd focus on classes more so uuhhh yeah." Zak nervously chuckled, playing around with the book and pencil case in his hands.

The boys laughed, Zelk more then the others. "God, he's just some stuck up Christian boy. Don't bother listening to him and come hang out with us." Zak's nostrils flared in anger, quietly snarling at the boy before him. "He's so much fucking more than that, you could never understand."

Zelk shook his head, letting out a deep and frustrated chuckle, "Listen to yourself, you sound like a fag." Zak stood back a little in shock, closing his eyes and taking a deep breathe. "Um, excuse me?"
"Do you need me to repeat myself? You sound like a faggot. Keep talking like that and it'll ruin your image."

Zak winced, being called that brought back horrible memories. He stood there trying to process for a moment before shaking his head and taking in a deep breathe. "You know what Zelk, maybe that's what I fucking want, because maybe I am one." The group surrounding Zelk now all faced Zak and were dead silent, looks of disgust and confusion plastered on almost all their faces.

Zelk stood up straight, no longer leaning up against the lockers. "So you're one of them, huh?" He walked over to Zak, getting close and personal to his face. Zak could feel his hot and furious breathe on his face and no matter and nervous it made him, he never broke eye contact.

"Get the fuck out of my school. If I see you again I'm gonna tell the whole school what you are, got it freak?" Zak laughed, glaring into Zelks eyes. "Well then paint me fucking rainbow and call me a faggot because I like dick and don't care who knows, asshole." They stared at each other for a moment longer before Zelk spat right in the shorter boys face.

Zak flinched before erupting into a snicker, his fists clenched. But instead of starting something, he walked away, dropping his school books and wiping away the spit on his face. "Oh look at that! The pooftah is running away just like he always does!" Zak's steps only grew heavier and faster, trying to get away from Zelks yelling but it seemed that the taller boy was following him.

Soon Zak had started running through the building; trying his best to get away from Zelk and his little posey. Eventually Zak flew out of the school front doors and ran out, sprinting off the school grounds. The group following him stopped abruptly at the doors and almost colliding with one another, "That's right! Run away you little queer! Run away!"

Zak ran for a while longer but soon slowing down and finally coming to a stop, catching his breathe and kneeling down. He picked himself back up, slowly walking down the foot path.

It was a beautiful day, but not to what the rest of society would expect, Zak liked it when it was cold and cloudy, perfect. It may be summer so moments like these are rare for the young boy.

The chocolate eyed boy found himself at the park, but instead of stopping at calming himself down there he trudged forward into the forest. He walked through and went the exact same way he did a few days before. Zak turned around, expecting to see Wilbur in his usual spot alone or with his father, but instead he found someone else.

"Techno..."

Techno looked up in confusion from sharpening his sword, before his eyes became smaller and he stood up immediately moving towards Zak in an angry manner. Before Zak could react or anything, Wilbur came in and stood between the two. "Hey hey hey! Caaaaaaallm down big bro, he's a friend."

"Big Bro?"
"Friend?"

Wilbur darted his eyes between the boys, chuckling nervously. "Zak, meet Techno, my brother. Techno, meet Zak, one of my friends." Techno snarled at Zak, standing up straight to appear more threatening. "I know him and he's not welcome here." Techno walked away and plopped back down where he was sitting before, going back to sharpening his sword.

Wilbur turned and gave a Zak a look of confusion, to which Zak just nodded and shrugged at. "He's the kid I was talking to you about before." Techno muttered, Zak barley heard it but Wilbur could perfectly make it out. "Ah, the one I told you to leave alone and apologise to?" Techno stopped for a second, turning away in embarrassment and staying silent.

Wilbur pulled Zak along and sat him beside Techno. They both just kinda stared at each other and didn't say a word, not daring to. Techno looked over at his brother for guidance, Wilbur just motioned for him to speak.

"I'm, uh...I'm sorry about everything I've done to you, it's kinda what pain and internalised homophobia does to you I guess..." Techno smiled awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck slightly. Zak made a noise of acknowledgment then soon smiled.

"It happens, I didn't exactly do what you did when I was in pain but I did similar things. Drink, smoke, fight, sex, all that fun juicy stuff." Zak added emphasis on the 'juicy' which made the two chuckle slightly. "I guess I'm sorry too, about what Darryl did to you." Zak pointed to the bruises all over his face, Techno just nudged it off. "It's fine, gotta protect your boyfriend so it's understandable."

Zak slightly winced, "Not my boyfriend, sadly." Techno just mouthed a simple 'oh' and looked down at his sword but not bothering to sharpen it. Zak extended a hand towards the pink haired boy, Techno took the hint and took his hand in his,
"Truce?"
"Truce."
They shook hands, smiles tugging at the end of both their lips.

'loose a friend; gain a friend.'

~hii! So, two things to talk about;
I've been using Technos real name for the fanfic because I wanted this fanfic to be as realistic as it could be but then some comments told me that Techno doesn't like his real name being used, so I'm no longer using his irl name and am going to just use techno from now on!
