I Never Wanted To Love You (or did I...)

Graduation or Nothing // Marvin & Whizzer

A/N just your classic high school AU with a lovely little role reversal
(Edited)
~~8am~~

Whizzer sighed as his alarm went off. He had left it till the latest time possible to get out bed. He had to be at school in 30 minuets. He threw on his leather trousers and Slipnot tee. He grabbed his leather jacket and checked his hair. Whizzer smiled to himself. He slipped on his doc martins and threw his sunglasses on his face.

As Whizzer stepped outside, he was his by the warmth of May. He rolled his eyes and hopped in his car. He checked the clock. 8:25am. Shit, he was going to be late again.

It had become a tradition for Whizzer to waltz into his first lesson late. His teacher, now used to his lateness, would thank Whizzer for actually showing up. To which he would always reply. "Your lucky I'm here." Or "Just trying to up your pay check"

Whizzer sauntered to the back of the class and to his normal seat. He slumped in his chair and placed his feet on the desk. He grabbed a pen and notepad from his jacket pocket and pretended to listen. 

He felt a tap on his shoulder and saw his teacher staring him in the face. Lesson was over.

"What do I owe the pleasure of seeing you Miss Stevenson?" Whizzer smiles and he put his stuff back in his pockets and pulled out his cigarettes and lighter.

"Your grades are dropping fast Whizzer. I'm pairing you with our A* student. If your grade doesn't improve you won't graduate next year and will have to retake the grade." Miss Stevenson snapped and crossed her arms.

"If this is your way of telling me I have to deal with Marvin's preppy bullshit for the next year then you can stop planning now!" Whizzer laughed and lit his cigarette.

"Yes it is, no smoking in the building." She rolled her eyes and took his cigarette from him. She put it out on his desk and threw it in the nearest trash can. "Marvin and you both have free periods now so you can study in here while I take my free. I've been given permission to lock the door by the principal so you don't leave."

Marvin moved to the back of the class and sat in-front of Whizzer.

Marvin was your stereotypical preppy kid. He wore bright colours, was captain of the chess club and debate team, had a rich family and was passing every class with A's and above. His pink polo matched his denim jeans and his blue hoodie which was tied around his shoulders. You could say that he was definitely the complete opposite of Whizzer.

"So where should we start?" Marvin asked pulling out all his books, array of colourful pens and notepads.

"How about we start with you tell no one about this unless I say so!" Whizzer warned.

"Okay" Marvin smiled. Nothing could dampen his mood right now. He was tutoring Whizzer Brown. The Whizzer Brown.

Let me add some context for the title given here...

Whizzer may have been the gothic kid at his high school but he was the most popular kid there. People cleared a pathway for him when he walked down the corridors. Teachers never cared that he was late. He was invited to every party, even though he barely ever went. If he did go, you had officially thrown one of the best parties ever. Whizzer was also popular for being the first openly gay student the school had ever had. His coming out encouraged others to do the same. Including Marvin.

Soon the session was over and the pair could leave.

"You know." Whizzer started "I actually enjoyed working with you. Text me some time"

Whizzer gave Marvin his number and Marvin nearly passed out.  Miss Stevenson unlocked the door and smiled and she saw a happy Whizzer leaving her class for once. She started laughing when she saw a pale and shocked Marvin.

"Everything okay Marvin?" She laughed.

"I think I'm gonna faint..."

It soon got round the school about Whizzer giving out his number for the first time. And let me tell you Marvin kind of enjoyed the popularity.

~~2 years later~~

Marvin smiled as he entered the school. Today was his graduation date. He went into the school gym where everyone else was. But he started to get nervous. No one had seen Whizzer unless he was taking an exam. He hadn't messaged Marvin or anything. 

The clock hit 10am and all the senior students began to file out of the gym and to the field. Marvin began to fiddle with his sleeves. Whizzer still hadn't arrived.

As they went through the list of students Whizzers name still wasn't called. Marvin slumped in his chair.  And half listened to the speech that was being made.

"Congratulations students. We did it. We graduated. And in honour of my tutor I decided to change my style for one day, and one day only. So thank you Marvin for helping me graduating."

Marvin shot his head up. There he was. Whizzer Brown. Marvin smiled. He had swapped his dark clothes for a pink polo shirt, a blue jumped which was tied round his shoulder and denim jeans. The outfit Marvin wore during their first tutoring session.

Marvin stood up and ran to the stage. He wrapped his arms around his friend. But lost his balance and tackled him to the ground. Marvin and Whizzer laughed as they collected themselves and stood up.

"You did it!" Marvin shouted, which made everyone laugh.

"No, we did it" Whizzer answered and pulled Marvin in for a kiss. "I love you"

Marvin blushed "I love you too"

Whizzer got two things he wanted that day. A diploma and the boy he had been crushing on since he beginning of time.
