You okay, love? (England x Bullied!Reader) Modern AU

4 - I'm okay

Over the course of two months you had gotten closer to the charming brit he would be there to chase off most of the problems. You were still called a gloomy, nerdy girl however he assures you that it's not true.

Now you were sitting in the usual garden area under the shadow of the gazebo made of white stone which this rich school could oddly afford. Arthur had mentioned he'd show up a little late since he had to speak with a teacher. It's lunch so it's not uncommon for students to do that.

All alone you space out silently listening to the sounds of nature around you, the garden was quite big and well kept.

Everything went down hill when Trixy and her friend were walking this way a pissed look on her face. "Nerd! What did I say about staying away from him!?" She grabs your hair yanking you up only earning a flinch at the action.

"Arthur turned me down and I bet it's because you told him what I did! Didn't you!?"  You shook your head no while protecting your sides. "Breaking a rib or two wasn't bad enough." Throwing you back into your seat her friend pulls a bottle of alcohol out the expensive bag and hands it to Trixy. "Drink it."

You shook your head no as your nose scrunches up in disgust. Little miss princess wasn't having it. She opens it and grabs a fistful of your hair tilting your face up while pouring the liquid on you, didn't go into your mouth really but it smelled strong. "Stop! Leave me alone!"

Shoving her away she glared at your shaking form. Yeah you were a little scared..she broke your ribs who wouldn't be on the defense?

"Little bitch." Trixy smirks splashing a bit more on you as her friend tackles you down sitting on your struggling form. "Do it now Trix~!" both grin as the bitch hovers over you with the bottle.

"What the bloody hell is going on!?"

Opening (E/C) orbs you turn your head to see the only friend you had at this place. Tears weld up as relief floods glad to see him here.

"She..she told us to do this Artie." Trixy tried to switch to her good girl persona shocked she got caught. "Right?" she looks to her friend who nods.

Arthur walks over obviously fuming at the two for openly bullying (Y/N) like this. He could smell the alcohol from a distance. "I doubt she would want you to hold her down while dousing her in alcohol!" He yanks the bottle from her and shatters it on the ground. "Get off her!!" Both girls yelp and back up which allows you to sit up some.

"If I ever see you gits around her again I'll place the worst curse possible on your heads." He glared at the two darkly while holding you near.

Both girls got the hint and ran off frightened.

Arthur looked down at your trembling form. "It's alright love, you can let it out. They're gone."

And you did. You cried, screamed, all while clinging to him neither of you moved even after the bell rang. Soon your cries stopped leaving you just resting against him tired. It only took moments for it to dawn on you that you were getting him wet in alcohol to. "I'm sorry! You..smell like it to."

He chuckles and gets up taking your hand to bring you along. "It's alright, love. Here, let's go to the nurse I think your hand needs to be bandaged."

At one glance you do see that it was bleeding from when she shoved you.

Without a word you follow Arthur to the nurses room. It was funny to watch the brit get scolded by the nurse for both of you smelling like that. In the end you were just hoping it was all finally over.

A week passes since then and Trixy stayed away from you. She gave up on Arthur so it seems and moved onto some boy from South Korea. Suppose she was a K-pop fan after all.

In the meantime Arthur introduced you to his brother officially, and a few of his friends. Being the shy you, not much came out but a 'hello'. The albino boy laughed in a strange way and comments on how cute and short you were...but you were average height he was just a giant, the Spanish male agreed while ruffling your hair, Alfred was busy talking to his brother.

Either way you were slowly making friends despite the rumors that were said about you. Slowly, your little group at lunch grew under the gazebo. It was just you and Arthur, then Alfred came in which made lunch all the more noisy but exciting. Soon Gilbert, Francis, and Tony joined, then Eliza. Now you were surrounded by people who were beginning to understand you.

It felt nice.

You're still pretty quiet at times.

"You ok, love?" The brit noticed that you weren't speaking much.

A smile passed your lips as you place your hand over his. "I'm okay."

"As long as you're here, I'll be okay."

*~(A/N: Cheesy ending I know *sob* but it's all my brain could come up with. I've been trying for the longest to come up with a proper ending. Thanks for reading this short book, I'll do better next time. Bye!)~*
