Aleks jumped to his feet immediately as the last bell rung, practically running out of the room before the teacher even dismissed the class. Honestly, he wasn’t a big fan of Science and, after a whole day of school, he really just wanted to leave as fast as possible.

He jogged to his locker, doing his best to not drop his heavy Science books and stuffed them in his unorganized locker. He slammed it closed after swinging his bag over his shoulder loosely and locked it once again. He pushed through the numerous students roaming the halls, who looked just as impatient as him to get home, being slightly more cautious of how rough he actually shoved through to avoid another unwanted fight.

He took a seat on the bus and waited for the guys, who probably weren’t as rushed as him to get home. After a few minutes of boredom, he took out his phone and flipped it sideways before tapping it wildly with his thumbs, playing a game he had downloaded not too long ago.

He looked up every few seconds, petulantly waiting to see the familiar faces of his friends appear suddenly. When he realized it had just been a few minutes and the bus wasn’t departing for a good ten minutes, he stopped looking up and just continued playing, getting more engrossed by the game than before.

The voices of arriving people got louder and louder every minute as other students took their seat and conversed with their own group of friends. He glanced out the window and tapped his foot impatiently, all of a sudden finding seconds to be a lot longer than usual.

He shook his head, as if telling himself to stop being too impatient and continued tapping on his phone. Just as he was beginning to get occupied by the application once more, he heard a voice speak out of the blue.

“What are you playing?”

He jumped slightly and turned to the person who had given him a scare. Even though he had recognized the accented voice fairly quickly, the abrupt question that cut through the noise in the bus had startled him nonetheless.

“What the fuck, Eddie! You scared the shit out of me, don’t do that!” Aleks yelled. And, judging by the Latino’s expression, it had only added to his delight.

Eddie laughed, pointing towards him. “You fucking jumped!”

Aleks crossed his arms after pushing Eddie’s pointing finger and hand lower.

“You okay, Aleks? You jumped pretty high,” he heard Seamus ask with a teasing tone.

He glared at the blonde and noticed that Eddie hadn’t been the only one to arrive, but the others had as well. It lifted his mood up to finally have them there and it lifted even more when the bus driver actually started driving, but he kept his pissed off look anyway.

“You two are dicks,” he grumbled, pushing Eddie’s shoulder.

“Hey, at least they didn’t almost hit their goddamn heads on the roof of the fucking bus,” James added with a smirk.

All of the Creatures, even those who hadn’t really pitched in the teasing, laughed at the joke, much to Aleks’ annoyance.

“Scratch that, all of you guys are dicks.”

“Aw, lighten up!” Eddie encouraged, punching his arm playfully.

He glared at Sly as he hit his arm and pain rushed through it again, just as it was beginning to numb down. He saw his face shift from a mocking one to a regretful one as he remembered what happened at lunch.

“Sorry, Aleks; I forgot.”

“It’s… fine. I just kind of hurt, but it’s fine.”

“What hurts?” Ze questioned from his seat next to Sp00n.

The Russian struggled to find a logical explanation that he could use instead of the real reason, gaze shifting around nervously.

“He got beat up,” Sly enlightened, turning to all the others. Even though he couldn’t see the YouTuber’s face, he could tell by his voice alone that he was still fairly displeased with the situation.

In a way, Aleks wondered why he cared so much. They had only met a few days ago; it wasn’t like they were childhood friends or anything with a similar relationship. He had to admit, Eddie was a one of a kind person he would probably never fully understand. It still troubled him though; he had a feeling Eddie would do something he would later regret while he would be blinded by anger and that was the last thing any of them needed. He wondered if it was completely obvious and he was just being oblivious; he tended to do that at times, causing him to face palm years later when he remembered his stupidity.

His thoughts were interrupted as the guys’ questions finally made their way through his bubble.

“Aleks, you got beaten up?” Jordan asked, incredulous.

He just nodded solemnly, avoiding the stares his friends were giving him.

“By who?”

“Brad and his gang,” Eddie replied for him.

He debated telling them about the punch he had successfully given to the leader; it could make Sly feel better but could also make the Creatures look at him slightly differently if they didn’t condone violence, even if it was to defend himself.

James chuckled in an unsurprised way. “Of course, that fucking douche.”

“That dude’s a fucking asshole,” Seamus spat, leaning on his boyfriend with a scowl.

He let out a small bitter laugh. “Trust me, it was hard for me not to notice.”

Sp00n raised an eyebrow doubtfully, “But did you do something to him? He usually goes for people when they do something he doesn’t like, even the smallest fucking details.”

Dan nodded in agreement. “Yeah, he always goes for you when you do something to him, even the things that no one else would give a shit about.”

He shrugged his sore shoulders. “I just pushed my way through all the people in front of me when I was going to lunch and happened to push him too roughly.”

Seamus rolled his eyes. “What an idiot.”

“Did you fight back though?” Jordan asked.

Aleks wanted to make sure they didn’t mind it before he actually answered to avoid risking this somehow be pinned on him.

“Why? Does it matter?”

“Just wondering, that’s all.”

“Well,” he started. “I did kind of punch him in the face hard enough for him to fall back to his friends, that’s probably the only fucking reason they left me alone.”

Eddie turned to face him, a proud smile on his face. “Hell yeah, that’s my Aleks!”

Your Aleks?” Jordan repeated with a smirk.

Eddie’s face turned red once he realized the fact that he had mentioned him as his, pushing his glasses back up.

“Uh… I didn’t mean my Aleks, I meant our Aleks. He’s not mine, of course,” he stuttered, slightly quieter while saying the last part.

He had no idea why, but Aleks felt his heart drop slightly when Sly tried to assure that he was, in fact, not his.
