Off The Rails

(In this AU, Gravesfield is not set in Connecticut. It is set somewhere unknown)
Gravesfield High School, 11:15am. Lunch period
Hunter sat down with his friends, throwing his Pokémon themed lunchbox onto the table, pulling out a ham, tomato and cheese sandwich along with a juice box.
" can I ask a question, Hunt?" Asked Hunter's friend, Tyler, aka Moss
Hunter sighed, biting his sandwich. "Fire away, Moss."
" if your parents are in their 20s, how the fuck do you exist?"

Hunter blinked. " what. Are you playing around or are you being genuine?"

Moss smiled. " being 100% genuine my guy."

" I was adopted, Moss." Hunter scoffed
" but they're in their 20s.." Moss responded
"Exactly, stupid, they're allowed to adopt." Said Hunter.
" but you were 14 when they did. That's  a bit too old to be adopted if you ask me. You had parents that loved you."
As the rest of his friend group was approaching the table, they heard everything.
People surrounding the friends gasped with shock.
Hunter grinded his teeth.
Then, that tough facade crumbled before everyone. Tears clouded his vision, a fierce magenta now drowning in tears. He ran out, chest heavy.

Hunter ran in those hallways, still sobbing his eyes out. Suddenly, someone grabbed his shoulders. The boy freaked out, shaking until he looked up. It was his older brother Cyrus. "Woah, woah woah! Easy, Goldie! What's wrong?"

Hunter broke, clinging to his brother. Cyrus sighed, bringing his brother to the empty art classroom. "Who fucked with you this time, hermanito?" Asked Cyrus, A face full of concerned and worry. But Hunter wouldn't talk. suddenly, Mr. Deamonne entered the classroom.
Darius was the art teacher at least in this wing. He stared at the brothers for a good few seconds. "What happened here?" He asked, kindness lacing his voice.
"Tyler Simmons told him 14 was too old to be adopted and said that he had parents that loved him." Said a voice.
It was Luz Clawthorne.
Cyrus could feel his blood boil. "How. Fucking. Dare. HE?! Luz? Mr. Deamonne? Can you guys sit with Hunter? I have a little shit to deal with."

"Hell no! I'm coming with you!!" Said Luz
"Clawthorne, stay here. I'm calling his mother to come pick him up. The poor kid is a fucking mess right now." Said Darius.
Darius walked towards the phone, and Luz looked at Hunter. " you holding up in there, Slysdale?"
No answer.
Luz sighed. " I was adopted when I was six by my Mama Eda and Nari Raine. They're pretty cool and your parents are pretty cool too. Although your father needs to work on his cooking. Most of the time when he makes nachos they're burnt. We asked for nachos, not burnt chips."
Hunter laughed.
Luz smiled, Hunter Suddenly went silent again.

Luz left the room, much to Darius' dismay.
" why do I even bother with these kids?" He muttered, dialing Hunter's mother's number.

Cyrus walked the halls, hunting for a dirty blonde boy with silver eyes. The predator had found his prey still in the cafeteria. Cyrus had grabbed Tyler by his shirt, fury in his eyes. "So, 'Moss' I heard you told my brother that 14 was too old to be adopted and that is biological parents loved him and he had no reason to get adopted by our parents. Now let me tell you something you little fucking punk, my brother was abused by his father, spit on, hit, punched, forced to pick up broken glass when he was five. When he turned 14 exactly a week after his birthday, he came out as transgender. His father threw him on porch steps after beating the shit out of him and calling him names. My brother was starving for days until my mother found him in a rotting old shed while she was pregnant. So don't you dare say shit like that again or I will find you. As a matter fact you won't be saying shit like that again because..."

Before Tyler could speak, Cyrus punched him square in the mouth and jaw so harshly that there was blood, and it went flying. Cyrus dusted off his shirt and left.
"nobody messes with my golden hermanito.." he hissed, knuckles red from the impact.
He entered the classroom again and Darius directed him towards the principal's office. Cyrus proudly strutted down there to be met with his mother and brother. Hunter was still crying while squeezing his mother's hand. Cyrus quickly stared at principal Graye, before bending down to meet his brother's eyes. " that prick won't be talking anytime soon. He's afraid of my ass now as he should fucking be."  Cyrus whispered into his brother's ear.
Hunter still wasn't talking.
Suddenly, the busted up kid ran into the principals office pointing at Cyrus. Cyrus laughed. " this is what happens when you beat up my brother emotionally you skidmark.." Tyler was still bleeding and bruised. Hunter stared in disbelief, while Night's mouth was wide open. "Cyrus, honey is this the same kid that said shit about your brother?" Asked Night
" yup. I don't stand for people messing with my family."
