Thanks to Joshua, Tyler, was stepping out of his comfort zone. Tyler had always taken interest in 'feminine' things, but kept to himself about it when not around his family.

After a lot of encouragement from his boyfriend and reassuring kisses, Tyler was ready for school.

He and Josh sat in the jeep as they talked, well Josh reassured Tyler that's he'd kick anyone's ass that even dared to give him a weird look.

"Baby, I promise no one will bother you. It's just floral print, it's not even a 'girl's' shirt," Josh stressed as he rested his left hand on Tyler's cheek and encouraged him to look at him.

Tyler bit his lip as he looked up at Josh through his lashes, "you promise to be there, Joshie?" Tyler asked in a small voice.

"I'd never leave my boy," Josh smiled back with a toothy grin as he leaned in to give Tyler a quick peck upon his pretty pink lips, "you're my honeybee, remember?"

Tyler giggled as he pulled back and looked at Josh with a bright smile, "you haven't called me that in ages!"

Josh just shrugged as he rested his hand on Tyler's thigh before giving it a gentle squeeze, "but don't you ever forget it."

The two exchanged smiles as they climbed out of the black jeep and walked hand and hand through the parking lot.

Josh walked Tyler to his locker before grabbing his own belongings real quick and following Tyler to his first class, which they did not have together.

"I love you, HoneyBee," Josh whispered before quickly placing a quick kiss to Tyler's lips and scurrying down the hall to get to his own class.

Tyler watched his retreating frame with a smile before taking a deep breath and turning towards his classroom.

Here goes nothing....

By the time Tyler made it through his fourth period he was close to tears, mostly from stressing himself out.

Every time someone passed him or laughed he grew anxious and automatically assumed they were directed at him, although he had no actual proof.

However, Tyler decided to stop by his locker before going to lunch and meeting Josh. He grabbed his raspberry tea from the top shelf and closed it, just to be met with Colton.

Colton was a football player, and one of the rudest high schoolers, so naturally Tyler was frightened.

"I knew you were a fag, but do you actually have to flaunt it? It's sickening really," he said with a curl of his lips.

The taunting sneer made Tyler's heart race within his chest as he frantically looked around for anyone that could step in and help him, but nobody was around.

"I can tell you're scared, not so tough when Dun's not around, huh?" Colton laughed as he popped his knuckles and took a step closer to Tyler.

"S-shut up, Colton, leave me a-lone," Tyler tried to sound convincing, but his voice wavered.

The next thing he felt was a fist colliding with his lip as his head flew back with force. A metallic flavor filled his mouth as his jaw popped.

Tyler cried out in pain, but failed to realize Josh running to his aid as he closed his eyes and braced for the attack to come, only it didn't.

Tyler opened his eyes to see Josh holding Colton up by his throat against the lockers as his face burned a dark red.

Colton's face was red as he struggled for breath, his feet slightly banging against the locker as he squirmed.

"Don't you ever fucking touch him again, I don't give a fuck who you are. I swear to god I'll kill you. I will fucking kill you, god damnit why would you do that to him?"

Josh was yelling as he became more frustrated, Colton was terrified and you could see it in his eyes and Josh held him captive.

Before Tyler could stop Josh, the older boy had Colton by the neck and threw him to the ground where he scrambled on top of him and started throwing punches.

Tyler was shocked at Josh's outburst, he's never seen this side of Josh before and it's actually scary.

Josh was blindly throwing punches and Tyler could tell he wasn't fully aware of his actions as he acted on pure instinct and rage.

"Josh!"

Tyler yelled loud as a teacher started running down the hall yelling at the two to stop.

"Josh, please!" Tyler begged as he cautiously laid a hand on Josh's shoulder from behind.

Josh stopped and stood up as he looked down at Colton's bloodied face and limp figure.

"I-I'm sorry, he hurt you and I-," Josh stuttered as he looked at Tyler with watery eyes, "please don't be mad."

Josh knew Tyler hated violence, but Tyler just smiled sadly at the boy as the teacher reached them.

"Office now!" He yelled as his face turned a bright shade of red and the veins in his neck became prominent.

Tyler and Josh started their walk to the office as Tyler laced his fingers with Josh's.

"I'm not mad," Tyler smiled reassuringly as he kissed Josh's cheek and swung their hands between them.

"But-"

"We'll talk about this later, but thank you for helping me," Tyler shook his head as he walked closer to Joshua.

"I'll always save you, HoneyBee."

Tyler smiled and squeezed his hand because he knew he would.
