Rob's POV
Lachlan and I have been up almost all night just playing video games.
It was now time to go to school and face the stupid bullies.
We walk in the front doors as everyone stares at us.
I'm not sure why we were the center of attention until i heard a "Hey! Get over here you freaks!" from the leader of the pack.
I turn around and walk towards the group. Lachlan looked at me wide eyed and ran off.
That was alright though, i didn't want him to get hurt.
"Seems like we have a CHICKEN on our hands!" One of them laughed as Lachlan ran out the door.
"Shut it you jerk." I spat. "Sticking up for your boyfriend?" they tease.
"Yeah i am. Now leave him the fuck alone before you get your neck snapped in half" I threaten.
They step back a little. "O-okay... We're sorry!" The one in the back stutters.
"No we ain't! That freak deserves it!" The leader says.
All his friends run away, leaving it to just him.
"Seems like you aren't so big now." I smirk. He steps back.
"Sorry! I-i'll leave..." He says, trying to walk away. I grab his sleeve and pull him back.
"I want you to leave him alone. You set one more finger on him, consider yourself dead. I want you to apologize right now." I death stare him.
"Sorry!" He yells. "Now watch it!" I scold and push the boy back.
He runs away, almost tripping a few times. Everyone claps around me as i push my way out the back door.
No one followed me luckily so i headed to the tree i first met him at.
Lachlan is of course sitting there, in the tree branches. "Lachlan" I call.
He peaks down, followed by him jumping. "Are you okay?" He asks.
"Yeah. They won't be bothering you anymore." I smile. He smiles back and glaces down.
"Lets go to my house yeah?" I ask. "We still have the rest of the school day" He sighs.
"Nah. Today was a half day, Remember?" I nudge his shoulder. He shakes his head and smiles. "right." He mumbles.
We walk back to my house and in the front door only to slip our shoes off and run to the living room to play video games.
We both pull out a controller and start to play a game.
"Hey you killed me!" I exclaim, respawning. "Oh well." He laughs and nudges me.
We keep playing, dying multiple times due to other players and each other.
Lachlan having the cutest little laugh in this whole world, causing me to be slightly distracted.
"Lachlan! Shut itt!!" I whine. He laughs again and leans his back on my arm.
"Lachlannn" I sigh. He giggles and continues playing the game.
"Get offffffffff" I yell, still laughing. He pushes even further onto me, almost sitting on my lap.
"Lachlan!" I laugh, fully pushing him off. He whines and pouts.
"Oh shut it." I laugh, killing him in the process. "Oi! Fuck you!" He yells, respawning.
"Ha!" I mumble quietly, trying not to laugh too much.
He comes back over to me in the game of course, wanting to kill me.
"Don't you frickn dare you" I warn. He giggles under his breath.
"Lachlan i swear to god." I say, hiding behind a pillar.
I shoot him and quickly get back under cover. "Ugh!" He groans.
"I hate you!" He yells. "You love me. Shut it." I laugh.
We continued to play the game for hours on end, dying multiple times.
"I'm tired" I whine. "Alright. I can go home now." He smiles, setting down the controller.
"Awe.Why can't you stay?" I ask. "My mom wants to see me too silly." He sighs happily.
I smirk, remembering yesterday and what had happened between her and I.
"What..?" He wonders.
"Nothing. You should probably get home though" I yawn, faking it of course.
He shakes his head and smiles. "Thanks for sticking up for me today." He says meaningfully.
"Of course...May i do something?" I stutter. He nods, smile still upon his face.
I lean down to the boy, brushing my lips over his for a few seconds.
As i pull away, i noticed his face turned blood red.
"I-i" He trys, giving up quickly. "I love you." I smile, taking his hand.
He looks down at our hands that were ever so softly intertwined together and then back up at me.
His eyes were super blue and his smile was soft. "I love...You too." He sighs, smiling.
I pull the boy up and into a tight hug.
"I won't let anyone else hurt you. I promise." I smile, kissing the top of his head.
"I'll be your power."
