Big, Little and Tiny Sef <3

Relaxed.

Yusuf's POV:

Youssef woke me up. It feels weird to say but Mr Farouk is just weirder to say outside of school.

"Come on kiddo, one more day and then you get a whole week off."

"A whole week?"

"Yeah, technically a week and a half because you'll go back next Wednesday."

"Fine." I whined as he helped me sit up. My back still hurt a little bit.

"Good kid. Do you want breakfast? I could make toast, or I think we have eggs? If you like scrambled egg?"

"I'll be okay. I never really eat in the morning."

"Just make sure you eat at break then, hm?"

I nodded as he left so I could put my uniform on. I was gentle, making sure not to catch any of the plasters on my shirt. I felt as if my back was more plaster than skin.

I walked downstairs and found Youssef with a cup of coffee and his phone. I think he was still half asleep.

"Morning sweetheart." Nathan smiled as he handed me a drink.

"I'm not thirsty."

"I'm not bothered. You need to drink, it's getting hotter outside now."

I scoffed and he nodded to the glass.

"Drink. Sef, tell him."

"It's not worth fighting with him. Leave it Yusuf."

I drank the whole thing in one and handed him the glass back.

"Thank you." Nathan nodded as I scowled at him.

I got my shoes on and waited for them to do the same. I'm used to walking half an hour just to get to school but they can just drive for ten minutes.

"Have you got a pen?" Youssef asked.

I nodded.

"Have you got a pencil?"

I nodded again.

"Do you have a ruler?"

For the third time, I nodded.

"Okay. Good. Grab your bag and we'll all get in the car in a few minutes."

I stood outside for them, fidgeting with my thumbs and picking at my nails.

"Leave them alone." Youssef whispered, patting my back as he got into the car.

"I can't. People will know when I show up with you."

"We have to be there half an hour before the kids, you'll be fine."

I looked at the time and it had just gone twenty to eight.

"I hate you."

"Get in, can you do the seatbelt?"

"...yes, done it."

I knew what he was doing. It's easier to make me behave when he can whisper rewards for being good for him. I've done the same to Yas since she was two. Oh. He's got me wrapped round his dumb little finger.

"Good kid." He nodded as Nathan got in too.

The drive was okay. Nathan and Youssef just talked the whole time so I had time to think of big kid stuff. I have a test today. R.E, hopefully she's feeling generous and will help out a bit.

We got into school and I sat with Youssef.

"In school, just call me Mr Farouk, yes?"

I nodded.
