Tommaso POV
The next day after Master Fu, AKA Jade Turtle, rescued us from Chat Noir and his akumas, we decided to hide the cat miraculous inside the Miracle Box. Kagami, known as Ryuko, stated that the reason she was away was because she was part of a fencing tournament in Japan.
Lila and Adrien called in sick while the rest of her gang were at school, much to my suspicion. If they were off sick, then why did I see them hiding in an alleyway, eyeing at Marinette's house and bakery?
Weird.
During our transition to our next class, I saw Dylan harassing Roxanne again. Sighing, I decided to step forward.
"Enough already! She doesn't want anything to do with you." I said, shoving him back
"This has nothing to do with you. Back off or get smacked." He said, glaring at me.
I pulled Roxanne behind me and glared at Dylan.
"This is your last warning, Dylan. Back off!" I growled.
"You don't scare me." He said and punched me in the stomach. I grunted and doubled over, coughing.
What the hell? When did he start getting stronger? I thought and saw a silver ring on his finger. The same on I saw on Lila's finger.
Did he join Hawkmoth?
I recovered and got into my stance. Dylan laughed and threw a punch at me. I dodged the punch and elbowed him in the stomach, stunning him. As he doubled over, I snapped a kick at his head. He chuckled and caught my leg. Before I could free myself, he threw me into the locker, breaking a few.
"Tom, get up!" Marinette shouted. As I recovered, Dylan was about stomp on me. I dodged his foot and kicked him in the groin, stunning him. He howled in pain as I stood up and punched him in the temple, forcing him to kneel. As he got up, he threw dust in my face. I tried to clear my vision, only to get a fire extinguisher to the face. I fell to the ground, clutching the cut on my cheek.
Dylan kicked me in the stomach, cracking my bruised ribs. Roxanne tried to step in but his friends held her back.
"You pussy! Can't even get up to fight. You're pathetic!" He taunted as he kicked me in the face, breaking my nose. My head spun. He raised the extinguisher above his head, ready to finish me off.
Luka ran in and grabbed the extinguisher from him, only for one of his friends to pin him to the ground. With Dylan's guard down, I kicked him in the shin, stunning him, and got up. Dylan cursed and tried to grab me by the throat, but I blocked his arm and chopped his temples, dazing him.
"Clench your teeth, stronzo!" I shouted and punched him in the jaw, reeling him backwards. As he recovered, I punched him again in the stomach, then in the chest and the face again. After unleashing a flurry of brutal punches, I feinted a mid kick and knocked him out with a rolling thunder kick.
As Dylan slumped onto the ground, unconscious, his friends released Luka and Roxanne and ran away. Marinette ran to help up Luka while I slumped into Roxanne's arms.
"What is going on here!?" Our physics teacher, Ms Mendeleiev, shouted as the crowd looked back.
"Tommaso Russo just beat up Dylan Rogers for no reason!" Alya shouted.
"Bullshit! Dylan was harassing Roxanne and Tom stepped in to rescue her!" Marinette shouted, shocking everyone due to the fact that Marinette doesn't look like the person who would curse.
"Enough! Principal's office! Now!" Ms Mendeleiev shouted.
"First, I'm taking Tom to the infirmary to get patched up." Roxanne said as she escorted me to the nurses room.
3 minutes later
After the nurse helped clean my wounds, Roxanne volunteered to help patch me up. While the nurse left us, Roxanne started placing bandages on my cuts. None of us said a word, increasing the uncomfortable tension between us.
After a while, Roxanne spoke.
"I want to thank you for back there. And I'm sorry you got involved." She said, wrapping a bandage on my bruised knuckles.
"You're welcome." I said, blushing as I saw her concentrated face.
"I guess we're even. Since you helped me back then. Had it not been for you, I wouldn't be here." She said, removing the bloody bandage on my ribs. She blushed when she saw my naked torso.
"Si. You could say that." I said, blushing as I remembered our kiss.
"Ok, hold still. I need to put on your cheek." Roxanne said as she sat on my lap, placed one hand on my uninjured cheek and placed the bandage on the cut on my cheek.
I could feel my heart pumping as I gazed at her clear crystal blue eyes and her soft lips. My cheeks burned red.
"Are you ok?" Roxanne asked.
"I- uh-." I stammered, blushing uncontrollably.
She realised the position we were in and started blushing.
"I- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-" She said as she tried to move away, only for her to lose her balance and fall into my arms. We blushed as we held each other, avoiding each other's eyes.
"Your hair smells nice." I said.
"T-thanks. Yours smell good." She said, only to bury her face into my shoulder, hiding the blushes on her cheeks.
Suddenly, Chloe stood in front of us, clearing her throat.
"I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" She asked.
"When did you get here!?" I gasped.
"Just now. Anyway, good news, Dylan's expelled." She said.
"I feel like there is a major but coming on." Roxanne said.
"You're getting suspended for the rest of this week." Chloe concluded.
"Figures. No good deed goes unpunished as Oscar Wilde once said." I groaned.
"Who?" Chloe asked.
"Never mind. What's our next lesson?" I asked.
"Maths with Mendeleiev." She said.
"Great. The same teacher who gets me suspended for defending a student. Well, it could've been worse." I sighed.
"Yeah, I could've gotten raped." Roxanne said bitterly.
"How did you two even break up?" I asked.
She got up from my lap and put on her jeaned jacket.
"I'll tell you later." She said and left the infirmary.
"How are you two not dating yet!?" Chloe asked.
"It's complicated." I said , touching my injured cheek.
