Short Stories (BxB)

Nathan & Alex

Description: Alex is a simple guy. Sarcastic but also nerdy -- a perfect target for bullies. When the school's bad boy Nathan sees him get bullied, he gives him tips on how to make it easier. Aka stop being so sarcastic when he is getting bullied. Alex accepts the advice but always answers him sarcastically. He is the only person in the whole school who isn't afraid of Nathan -- and Nathan has no idea why. It intrigues him. (around 3400 words)

-The first scene is present time, the rest of the scenes are in the past to show how their relationship developed (Sorry if it's confusing)

Alex's POV

"Watch where you're going, trash!"

I rolled my eyes at the insult... but immediately realized my mistake.

He grabbed the back of my hair and made me look up at him, "Did you just roll your fucking eyes at me?"

Oh gosh...

I tried to shake my head but he was holding onto my hair too tightly, "N-no..."

He smirked mischievously, "Lying to my face, are you? You'll pay for that."

He lifted his other hand to hit me when a voice boomed behind him, "How do you plan on doing that?"

Relief washed over me instantly as I recognized the voice.

Jack turned his head, "Nathan. I'm just teaching this nerd a lesson."

He crossed his arms and gave Jack a look that could have killed, "What did he do?"

Jack thought Nathan was on his side so he laughed and pulled my hair harder, "This little shit ran into me."

I cried out in pain but I couldn't get away. I looked at Nathan and he looked like he was about to kill.

"I-I'm sorry Jack... please let me go," I said, hoping to de-escalate the situation.

"Oh, now you're scared?" He laughed.

Scared for you...

Nathan took a step forward, giving Jack a motion to go closer.

Not loosening his grip on my hair, he leaned his ear closer.

"If you don't have your hands off of my boyfriend in five seconds... you're dead fucking meat."

I watched as Jack's eyes widened and he looked between Nathan and me. But instead of letting go, he laughed.

"This nerd? C'mon, I know you're messing with me. You want me to let him go so you can beat him up instead? Fine. Here," he said as he used my head to push me towards Nathan.

I stumbled and almost fell over but Nathan caught me.

He rubbed my head and fixed my hair as he whispered to me, "Are you alright?"

I nodded and whispered back, "Yes... please don't beat him up. I don't want you to get into trouble again."

He smiled a little, "I'll just smack him around a little, don't worry. Now go to class."

I nodded before walking away.

I heard some shocked noises from Jack and people standing around. Then a smacking noise and a groan, probably from a punch.

I just sighed and kept walking.

Word was going to spread and I was going to have to answer a bunch of people's questions. How did you guys start dating? Is he forcing you? Why are you dating? And other stupid personal questions.

The truth was... it just kind of happened. 

~Flashback~

I rubbed my cheek lightly. Who the hell did those jackasses think they were? They always mocked me and that time one punched me too. Just because I was a "nerd".
