Mr Farouk and mr ajayi

Chapter 16 - out

T/W- self harm mentions

Now yousseff and Nathan's relationship had been outed to the school , everyone knew about it . However this also meant that Nathan and yousseff could kiss in front of colleagues and hug and cuddle no questions asked .
Lessons were different though , students obviously knew so took every opportunity to make a joke about it or smirk at mr Farouk if mr ajayi walked in . Though neither men minded because they had eachother . And that's all they needed .

4 weeks of being out to the school

" hey love " mr Farouk walked into mr ajayi's classroom during lunch .
" oh hello darling " a smile spread across both of their faces followed by a flush of light pink
Nathan stood up from his desk chair to grab some books to mark before he was caught off guard by yousseff wrapping his arms around his waist . He had his head buried into Nathan's neck kissing it lightly. Nathan turned and smiled at his beautiful boyfriend , then kissed him lightly on the lips . His hand brushing through his thick black hair .
They were deep in each-others embrace until they heard a familiar laugh behind them . They turned to find Charlie spring laughing by the door looking at the two men .
" you two are so soppy " he giggled
Mr Farouk pulled a face of just pure annoyance with a hint of embarrassment.
Over the years mr ajayi had become a bit of a parent figure for Charlie considering his family life at home wasn't too great at the moment . And mr Farouk had become a lot closer to Charlie after the Paris trip and now he taught him for science too . As well as this helped him re integrate into the school after he has spent a few weeks in hospital .
" what are you up to Charlie ? " mr Farouk asked now smiling happily
" nothing , I'm so bored now Nick is in six form " Charlie continues staring at mr Farouk " but I can see you two are very busy " he laughed again
Mr ajayi chuckled " I sp-ose "
Mr Farouk just blushed and smiled at his boyfreind .
" but I was going to ask . Has everything been okay since people found out about you two dating ? I've only been back in school a few days so I don't know a lot " Charlie invited himself to sit in mr ajayi's spinning chair as the two men sat on a desk next to eachother .
" well there has been the odd student who has said some things to us but for the most part it's been really lovley " mr ajayi said turning to mr farouk
But mr Farouk turned to Charlie looking a bit concerned " how have you been Charlie ? "
Charlie's smile dropped a bit and he looked at the floor
" w- well . Me and my mum keep getting into arguments . She keeps saying that I'm doing this for attention and me not eating is a way of getting 'popular' Wich is the opposite of what I want . "
Charlie's knee started bobbing up and down quickly
" and she said that - that . That night where I relapsed she wished that I would have just gone deep enough to learn not to do it . And that I'm never going to be loved with scars and.. " Charlie's voice trailed off into a stream of tears and murmurs
Mr Farouk leapt up from where he was sat and Charlie stood up and launched himself into mr Farouk's arms sobbing .
Mr Farouk looked over Charlie's shoulder as they hugged giving me ajayi a scared look . A .really . scared look . He just held onto Charlie tightly .
Still in the hug mr Farouk Began to speak
" you can talk to me anytime Charlie , you know that right ? "
" yeah " Charlie whimpered
" I- I'm sorry "
" no Charlie . Your not . This is not your fault and you have nothing to be sorry for . Okay ? " mr Farouk said sternly
" mmmh "
" come on you two let's sit down here " mr ajayi said guiding them towards a painting of a tree in the corner of his room . Where Charlie used to sit all the time in year 8,9 and 10
They all sat and Charlie leant his head against the cupboard with tear stains all down his red face .
" you haven't . Cut yourself recently have you Charlie ? "
Charlie just blankly stared at the floor and Brought he's knees up to his chest and slowly pulled up the arm of his blazer to reveal bright red and white lines scattered up and down his left wrist .
" oh Charlie . C'mere " mr ajayi pulled him in for a hug this time . And pulled away to grab a first aid kit off the wall and slowly wrap up Charlie's cuts and pull his blazer back down softly .
The three stayed in there for the rest of the day getting covers for all of their lessons . Mr Farouk's and mr ajayi comforting Charlie in any way possible . Getting him small snacks like grapes and crackers . Just small things that Charlie would be able to manage . Mr Farouk looked at Charlie worriedly " it will be okay charlie . Everything's going to be okay . I promise "

Okay love this even though it's sad but you can really see me Farouk's soft side
