The Lonely Demon Who Found Friends (Boy X Boy)

Chapter 02

Later that day, while Chebito's class was having self-study, against his will, he was dragged out of his class by his little group of friends.

"Where are you taking me? We're gonna get scolded for skipping class ya know!" protested Chebito.

"Chill man, chill! It's just self-study, not like we're gonna do anything even if we stayed in the class!"said his friend Keichi.

"Well I guess you got a point there..." thought Chebito as he was dragged farther away from his class.

"So where exactly are we going?" He asked again.

"Dunno! Just gonna kill some time hanging around school!" Said his other friend Takano.

"You guys..." said Chebito after finally giving up. With a loud sigh he went along with the group. As they roamed aimlessly around the school, avoiding any teachers that came by, they came across a quite large and old store room at the back of the school. The door was open and they could hear voices coming from inside. As expected, the group, along with Chebito, went to sneak a peek, curiosity getting the best of them.

When they poked their heads over the wall of the entrance, they were able to make out a group of boys, around their age judging by their height, and another figure lying on the ground. As the light from a small window near the roof entered and lit the room up softly, they were able to make out the figure lying on the ground. It was their "Demon Boy" Tobi. Just that, unlike earlier at the cafeteria, he was all bruised up and his clothes were ripped from place to place. The other boys kept kicking him in the stomach until he threw up some blood and gave out a yelp of pain. The bunch of bullies had looks like that of sadists... well, that's probably what a typical bully is though. The more pain Tobi received, the more pleasure the other party got.

Meanwhile, Chebito and his group were watching this whole scenario. While Chebito was intently watching them, he felt a hand pat him on the shoulders to get his attention. It was Keichi.

"I think you've seen more than enough for now" he said with a look of concern.

"You're new here so you're probably not used to this yet... well for us this is a normal sight so you'll probably get used to it as well" said his other friend Natsu.

Chebito gave a nod and followed them back to class with a lifeless look on his face.

"This isn't right... no matter how much of a demon boy he is... it... it's just not right..." thought Chebito as his expression turned into a rather pained one.

After that, the day ended without incident and the last bell for the day rang. While Keichi and the group said their goodbyes, Chebito had already rushed out of the classroom, leaving his bag and other belongings in his class. He rushed towards the nearest restroom he could find, but to his despair, it was under  maintenance. Cursing the restroom, Chebito rushed downstairs to the next one, but that one was crowded with a lot of students with hardly any space to get in. Feeling that his "emergency" was nearing its limit, Chebito dashed to the last restroom he could find at an isolated corner near the first year's classes. Not thinking twice he rushed into it to attend to his "needs".

Once he was relieved he gave out a long and deep sigh of relief. He zipped his pants back up and looked around his surroundings. He had no idea of which restroom he was in, since he wasn't used to the school yet. Hoping he could find his way back to his class, he was about to leave the restroom when he heard a loud bang behind him. He turned around to see where it came from, and to his surprise, surrounded by a gang of bullies as always at the far end of the stalls was yet again none other than the "Demon Boy" Tobi Kaneko. As usual he was being bullied by a bunch of guys who this time looked around his age. They kicked him around here and there and banged his head against the wall really hard. Tobi fell onto the ground and stayed there, as if he was waiting for the next attack. Chebito wacthed this whole scenario in silence when a spark of the feeling "I have to go help him" crossed his mind for a mere second. He shook his head and thought to himself, "no no no no! He's the demon boy! You can't get involved with him! Who knows what'll happen...and it's only my first day at school!" But as he noticed Tobi's pitiful situation, his instincts finally got the best of him.
