At school, Toby went to find Jack. They've been hanging out quite a lot, and Jack was protecting him from Billy and Tate.

Jack, at first, didn't know why he was even bothering to protect some kid he goes to school with, but he does see the troubles he goes through. Jack didn't want to see that anymore.

"Jack! There you are!" He heard from behind. Jack turned and faced Toby, coming up to him in a happy manner. Jack smiled as so far, Tate and Billy hadn't gone up to him yet.

"Yeah, here I am."

"I've been wanting to ask you something."

"Sure, what is it?"

Toby grabbed Jack's arm and dragged him to the library, where Jack likes to be most of the time.

"Why are we in a library?"

Toby's demeanor had dimmed, and Jack knew something was wrong. Maybe he was wrong, and Tate and Billy did get to him beforehand.

Or maybe it's was something completely different, and Toby just wanted to let something off his chest. Jack was grateful that Toby could trust him either way to talk about stuff.

"To have a private talk." Toby said.

"You're nervous. It's okay. Just take your time."

Toby admired that Jack never pressured him into anything. Hence the question Toby is about to ask him.

"I want to be mor -"

"You like me a lot, don't you? It isn't hard to guess."

Toby blushed as his plan of subtlety and just decided to rip the bandaid.

"Do you want to be my boyfriend?"

Jack smiled and nodded, "Yeah, of course."

Toby smiled and hugged Jack, a little too tight, but Jack didn't say anything as this was Toby's only happy moment before he had to deal with the rest of the day.

"Aww. Isn't that just sweet." A voice interrupted, Jack groaned and faced them, "What do you want Tate, don't you have better things to do?"

"Well, we just wanted to see the freak get a boyfriend. They grow up so fast." Billy said in a mocking tone, wiping his face like he's wiping a tear from his eyes.

"Oh fuck off and go do something useful." Jack then grabbed Toby's hand and they made their way out.

"We'll get you next time freak!" Tate yelled.

Toby cleared his throat from the lump in his throat. Jack looked at him and pulled him into a hug. "You know I'll always be here for you."

Toby then started sobbing into Jack's sweate. Jack, not caring about it, started rubbing Toby's hair. "It's alright. Shh, don't waste your tears over them. They're not worth it."
