That One Kid From Band

Stars

A/N-I'm wearing fake nails rn, so sorry if there's any grammar mistakes.

   Isn't it weird how much someone can mean to you in such a short amount of time? It's weird for me to be open like this, I guess he just has that kind of personality. He was just sitting there, staring at me and letting me ramble on and on about my hobbies. Well, on and on until the teacher spoke that was.
"Start packing up, 4 minutes left!"
She squeaked. I tensed and growled, begrudgingly reaching under my desk for my backpack, seeing Tobi grab his off the back of his chair and sit it on his lap.
"You look tense."
He commented, sifting through his stuff mindlessly.
"Yeah, that hallway can be hell during passing period."
I huffed, standing up and putting my backpack on.
"Hey, I can walk with you. It's not like I really know my way around anyway."
I glanced over at him, watching him rise to his feet as well, everyone else doing the same as the time ticked by, only having a minute left before all hell was unleashed.. in actual hell.
"Yeah that'd be... nice"
The thought of someone tall walking next to me all the way to my next class.
"Good, cause it's gonna happen anyway."
He chuckled. I smiled but it immediately fell as I heard the bell ring, the teacher granting us access to leave. I cursed under my breath. The hallways were more than dangerous for a guy the size of a sixth grader in highschool. It was more serious than I made it seem to Tobi. He doesn't know that every fucking day of my life I get pushed against lockers on my way to my classes by the jocks. He doesn't know that guys would do that and pin my arms above me head, grinding onto my ass roughly and teasing me about my sexuality. He doesn't know that I get pushed down the stairs and that my tail gets stepped on every time that happens. I was snapped out of my daze by Tobi snapping his fingers in front of my face.
"Eros? You alright there bud?"
I sighed, looking around and seeing everyone gone. I stepped out of my desk, pushing in my chair and nodding silently.
"You sure?"
He asked, stepping out of the way for me.
"Yeah.."
I lied straight through my teeth. I was not okay. I slowly walked out of the class, checking to see if Tobi was behind me, which he was. I stepped out of the class, very hesitantly turning to the left, down the hallway towards my science class. My shoes squeaked as I walked, not speaking at all, but clinging to Tobis side. My eyes widened and I instinctively grabbed onto his hoodie sleeve when I saw the dick that usually teased me.
Richie.
A douchy name for a douchy guy. As he got closer, I scooted closer to Tobi, him clearly getting confused as to why I was sticking to him like glue. Richie chuckled at me, taking his eyes off me and looking at Tobi. Oh no. If he thought he was going to bring Tobi into this, he was wrong.
"H-hey, don't bring him into this!"
I nervously snapped, trying my best not to looked scared.
"He already is, hanging around a faggot like you."
Tobi looked like he suddenly knew what was going on, because he tensed up.
"Look kid, I don't even know who you are, or you twos relationship, but it's clearly not a good one, so back off."
He looked Richie straight in the eye, glaring at him with eyes that would scare hades himself. Richie growled, puffing out his chest a bit.
"Are we gonna have a problem, newbie?"
Tobi looked pissed.

"We already do, fucker."
