Step-Brothers

~Chapter Twenty-Five~

"We have to take the bus?? Why can't Michael it's drive us?" Evan is quietly moving through his morning routine, not a morning person at all. Michael is not there.

"Dad- uuugghh Fine."

"Why CAN'T Michael drive us? I hate the bus..."

"Because he's starting his Rut and he doesn't want Jared or you in his car when it happens.."

"..... Oh....."

"Yeah, so it looks like we're taking the bus." Evan groans.

"First day and we're taking the bus..."

"Yep. C'mon guys.." the three of them head out.

"I'm looking forward to not meeting this Rich guy. Evan you know the deal."

"Stay close, keep my head down and try to disappear?"

"Just stay close. If Rich is who they say he is then I want you with me when he's around"

"Unless I meet him when I'm in a different class..."

"It's really best if you just ignore him. He wants attention. Don't give him it, then he won't bother you." That's not at all what would happen. Jeremy's just trying to make them feel better. They get onto the bus, a little embarrassed as they are Seniors.

"This is horrible..."

"Just ignore it for now. After His rut he'll be taking us to school.."

"Can't wait..." They get to school, Jared and Evan staying together as they follow Jeremy in. It's weird going to a new school. Especially one with Rich in it.

"Hey tall ass, where's the other faggot?"

"He's at home...."

"Aw, and he left you to fend for yourself, huh?" he sniffs.

"Smells like you'll be without him for a while, huh string bean?" he glances at Evan.

"What do we have here?"

"He's off limits Rich."

"Sure, sure. Off limits. Or what, you'll send your pathetic excuse for an alpha to get my ass kicked?"

"No-"

"I will" Rich looks at Jared.

"So you volunteer for the ass whooping then. Cool, cool."

"Jared-"

"No, If you lay a hand on him, I'm gonna beat your ass Into the ground."

"Suuuuuure you will. And if you try, you'll get your ass handed to you. Threaten me again and I'll give you a little preview."

"Don't touch him." He takes Evan's hand. He's being protective.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I see. Don't see why I should have to listen to you when he could have a huge upgrade gettin with me for even one night, but okay. Whatever." Jeremy rolls his eyes.

"Do that again, Jeremy, and your ass will be in a locker. I fit Mell in one, I can sure as hell fit your skinny ass."

"I'm sure you can." He's tired of Rich's shit and he's just tired. He needs like a Red Bull, a monster, SOMETHING to wake him up.

"Trying to get smart?" he grabs Jeremy's shirt and shoves him face first into the closed lockers next to them.

"Cause you know I don't like that. You've seen when your faggot gets smart with me."

"No, I'm just really tired..." of his shit. He starts to bend Jeremy's arm back just enough to hurt but not injure.

"Good boy. Then I guess I'll let you go to class." he lets go. Jeremy sighs and rubs his shoulder..
