Manny x Child! Reader! (Dhmis)

The Meeting

In Kindergarten, you were always a shy but sweet child. There was this boy you met in class named Manny. He was a very sweet child, but he didn't have much friends. And he got bullied a lot for the most part. The reason behind this was because Manny was different from other children. He went to a public school and kids were just normal looking children. But due to his black eyes, his blue hair, his yellow skin, his orange nose, his poorly designed clothing, and due to the fact that he is a very skinny kid is what made him look like a monster. And most kids at this school were very...edgy? I mean, there were some girls who wore black and pink and they thought they were all bad. And boys were just rough housing all over the place. You were not like those kids at all. And that's what made both you and Manny special. And for the most part, you were mostly adored by the teachers and staff. Even the Principal thinks you two are adorable together!

"Kids! We have a new student today!" The teacher, Mrs. Cravalho called from her desk. You stood there and waved. Your oversized hoodie covering up your hands. It was the middle of winter after all.

"H-hi.." You quietly greeted in a very soft voice. You blushed for some odd reason. You heard a slight giggle from the back of the room. You decided to ignore it. "Alright sweetheart, what's your name?" Mrs. Cravalho asked.
"Y/N." You whispered. "Y/N. Such a beautiful name! Alright, let's see..you can sit there!" She pointed at the empty spot on the rug next to...a kid with blue hair. You walked over and sat down next to him. He looked dazed, like he was distracted by something. He quickly snapped out of it and looked straight at the teacher.

"Alright kids, who wants to draw?" The teacher asked. You razed your hand. And the boy next to you did too. Sadly, nobody else wanted to, that just meant you and the boy could be...alone at a table.

Ring!

With a ring of a bell, it was recess time! All the kids got their snacks, jump ropes, play balls, friendship bracelets, etc. You just immediately ran straight outside, the boy followed you. He was a little strange, you weren't one to judge, you just thought he was maybe copying you in some way? I don't know. You just wanted to have fun. When you ran outside, the gras was completely gone, all covered in snow as well as the trees. It was such a beautiful sight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You had so much fun on the monkey bars, you could go on and on! You glanced at one of the trees, but something wasn't right. There were some boys, and the same boy you were sitting next to. You got down and took a closer look. The boys were...punching him in the face?! And isn't that the jacket he was wearing? In that kid's hands?! He was wearing nothing but a blue shirt and jeans. The boys walked away laughing, taking his jacket with them.
You ran over to the boy. He was sitting by the tree, wailing in tears and shivering. His face and body in bleeding scars and bruises. "Please stop crying! It's okay!" You sat in front of him and gave him a hug. His shivering body snuggled in yours, sobbing. You looked down at him and ran your warm fingers through his soft, blue hair. You sat him straight up, his watery eyes gazed into yours and his lower lip still quivering. "W-why did you help m-me?" He sniffled. "Why wouldn't I? It's bad to get bullied, and I don't like seeing people sad! I don't want anyone getting boo boos either!" You blushed. He blushed more. "What's your name?" You asked. "Manny." He replied. "Manny, you should tell the teacher about this. Tell on those bullies, you know?" You advised. "But I don't like telling on anyone, I don't like being a tattletale. Achiew!" He complained, giving out a sneeze directly after. "I think you're catching a cold. Let's go inside!". You grabbed his hand and quickly ran inside.

"Is he okay?" You asked the nurse. Manny was sitting on the bed, shivering and sneezing with a runny nose. "It's just a little cold, sweetie. I already called his parents to come and pick him up." The nurse said back, getting an antidote for the cuts.
She found it and dabbed some on a cotton ball. She dabbed the cotton ball on the cuts as Manny tried so hard not to burst in tears again, the sneezing wasn't helping at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Is he alright?" A man dressed in all red asked the nurse. "He just has a little cold. And he got cut in some parts." She explained. "Manny, where is your jacket?" A guy dressed in a brown suit, green hair and yellow nose asked Manny. "I was there, some bullies took it and beat him up!" You interrupted.
"Again?" The green guy asked again. Manny nodded in response. "Um, well we should be leaving. Thanks for protecting him, kid." The red guy thanked you. "It was no problem!" You replied. The green guy picked Manny up. And they left the school, and you left the room and continued playing on the monkey bars. Manny never came the next day due to his cold. But you knew that the next day you would be able to play with him and get to know him better.
