Yandere High: A Samgladiator Inspired Fanfiction

What If?

I woke up in what I guessed was the nurses' office. I blinked a few times before sitting up. I winced at the pain I felt in my stomach and ribs. "She's up, which means that nothing too serious happened." I looked up at the nurse who smiled at me. "She can go whenever she is ready." I looked at the people around me. Sam, Taurtis, Yuki, and Soul were all seated in chairs around the bed.
"Hey (y/n).." Sam spoke up. I tried to think if what to say, other than 'I can't talk to you anymore'. "Hi" I managed to croak.

I spent a while in the nurses' to get used to my battered body. One by one, my friends left. After Soul left, Sam was preparing to go. "Bye (y/n)." He smiled and went to kiss me. I felt so guilty that I was putting my life on the line like this. I was warned to stay away and here I was, not doing my job. When I heard the door shut and sighed. Taurtis grabbed my hand.
"Is something wrong, (y/n)?" I felt my cheeks getting warmer. I shook my head. I could feel his hand enclose mine. "I'm not stupid, I know when something is wrong." He stated. I was trapped. If I lied, he would know. If I didn't, he would know what happened. So either way, I was screwed.

It was a long story, so I made sure that we were comfortable. I carefully sat on the side of the bed and allowed Taurtis to climb up next to me. He smiled and sat next to me. He didn't let go of my hand, which was comforting. I looked up at him and took a deep breath. "So, this girl, Invader, had been eyeing me. I noticed that when I was around Sam, she would give me a nasty look. So, I ignored it until she came up to me in the locker room. She and her girls had me surrounded and I panicked. She told me to meet her after school, which was unsettling enough, but I was brave and said ok. This is where it gets turned around. We had a field day and I didn't think about anything until I saw her looking for me. I wanted to run but I couldn't move. I was frozen. She then had her group take me behind the shed. Then, well, you know the rest."

Taurtis looked at me with the weirdest look. It was a mix of pity and affection. He placed a hand on my cheek and held my gaze. "I'm so sorry (y/n)..." He whispered. I blinked a tear out of my eye. "At least you aren't seriously hurt. I was very worried about  you." I managed to only suffer from a busted lip and bruises on my body. What struck me the most though, was that glimmer of affection in his eyes. It was more than caring, it was love. I inched closer to him and he did the same. "You know, it's kinda hard to say this but, I don't think Sam and I are meant to be. Invader likes him more and they seem like a good couple." Taurtis nodded. It was quiet for a while until I glanced at Taurtis, he looked back at me. We shimmied closer, to the point where I could feel his heart beating.
Our noses were almost touching and I could feel his breath on my cheeks. I placed my hands on his chest and he pulled me in. I closed my eyes as our lips touched and blended into the perfect kiss. That's when I thought about something.

Maybe Taurtis and I were meant to be?
