    «And... What is it ?» Brian asked, still surprised.

    «Alex was beaten up. He's at the infirmary right now. A-And... I-It's all my fault...» Roger started crying. Brian began stroking his hair as he heard a sob coming from his student.

    «And why is it your fault Roger...?» He whispered, trying to sound reassuring. Roger sighed.

    «I... I dated... I mean... I still date but... I don't want to date her anymore. I should have... I shouldn't have dated her...!» He cried more in Brian's neck. The teacher didn't really understand, but the only thing he understood made him sad. "Her"... He's straight Brian you don't have any chance with him.

    «Calm down Roger and explain to me the whole situation okay...? I won't tell anyone I promise you... Just... Calm down Roger I hate seeing you cry...» He was sincere. He hated to see his favorite student cry. He knew he had a difficult life and he found him very strong. He slightly pulled away and wiped Roger's tears away. He just wanted to kiss him. He loved hugging him, even if Roger hugged him by surprise. «Calm down... You're okay, Alex is safe... Everything is okay...» He whispered again as he stroked Roger's cheeks with his thumbs. «Here, let's seat, we'll be more comfortable.» He took Roger's hand and leaded him to a chair. He sat down next to him. He wrapped his arm around his shoulders and waited for him to be ready to explain.

    «So...» Roger sighed, looking at his lap. «You see... Six months ago, I started dating a girl... And... Alex found out her real attentions. She's the unknown leader of the bullies' squad. The one that bullied Alex. And... Then he threaten her to tell me the whole truth... Then she told... Paul Prenter... To bully him... It lasted a bit less the six months... And I didn't notice anything I'm the worst brother ever...!» He cried and buried his head into Brian's chest. The teacher held him tight against him and stroked again his hair.

    «I know that Prenter... I'll tell the director don't worry, he'll be expelled okay ?» Brian whispered in Roger's blond hair. «But tell me what how Alex got beaten up okay ?» Roger nodded and pulled away, rubbing his eyes.

    «I found him in the restroom. He was with John... John Deacon. I had asked him to wait me here while I talked to my girlfriend. When I went to the restroom to find him I... He had a black eye and a very big bruise on his cheek... I asked him to explain me what happened and he did... Then I took him to the infirmary...» Roger explained, tears rolling down his cheeks. Brian pulled him against him and hugged him tightly.

    «I'm here Rog... Don't worry it won't happen again... If you're going to go back to see Alex, can I come with you ?» Brian asked. Roger nodded and without thinking, pressed a kiss on his teacher's left cheek. He froze and panicked.

    «I-I'm sorry ! I didn't mean...! I-I don't know what came over me I--»

    «Roger. It doesn't matter don't worry, you're still shaken up. Come on, let's go to see him.» Brian answered, blushing like mad. They slowly walked out of the classroom and went to the infirmary. On the way, Roger discreetly held Brian's hand, wanting to get comfort. Brian held his hand too and smiled at him.
