Rich placed a hand over his mouth in an attempt to quiet the sobs that racked through his body and filled the empty classroom.

He had only just been discharged from the hospital the day prior, fiery red burns scarring him from his leg all the way up to his shoulders. While he could care less about them, students in the halls would always point and stare, their mouths ajar.

Some who attended the Halloween party scowled at him, a handful passive-aggressively pushing him. His entire body shook as he allowed a few tears to slip from his eyes and onto the floor. He pulled his knees to his chest, tracing his index finger over the surface of a desk, picking up dust in the process.

He froze on the spot when he saw a sliver of light fill the room, indicating the door had opened. Wiping his eyes, he scrambled out the door, only to be wrenched back and immediately pulled into an embrace.

Rich instinctively thrashed against the unidentified figure but lowered his hands when he heard who it was. "Rich, Rich, It's me!" "...Jake?"

Tears clouding his vision once more, he returned the hug with just as much force and exigency as Jake.

The room fell silent, the only sounds being the occasional sniffle emitted from Rich followed by reassurance from Jake. When the smaller boys breathing had evened out, Jake broke the silence that engulfed the two.

"What are you doing in here..?" He raked his fingers through the other's hair, smiling at the regular softness of it. "Getting my mind off of things.." That wasn't a complete lie, Rich did go there to get away from the continuous murmurs of his peers.

Jake exhaled deeply, allowing the other to synchronize his breathing with his. "Do you wanna skip last period, we can go to the mall or something." Rich allowed a smile to tug at his lips, nodding tiredly.

"Can we just go to your house though? I'm not feeling up to.. anything today." Jake gave a hum in response, Rich interpreted it as confirmation.

TimeSkip

Rich propped his bag on the chair of Jake's desk, flopping onto the mattress and bathing in the sense of familiarity. Jake rolled his eyes playfully, putting a hand on his hip like a disapproving mother. "Comfy?" Rich only nodded his head yes, ignoring the obvious sarcasm etched into the question.
