Taurtis watched as his best friend, a dead fish, get thrown out the window by Grian. Taurtis then squeaked out in surprise and raced over to the window, pushing Grian and Sam out of the way. His dark brown eyes soon flooded with tears and the shorter male whimpered, causing Sam to frown. Grian bit onto his lip as he watched the shorter, raven-haired male peered out the window and down at the ground. "Grian, you killed Mr. Fish!" Sam said in a joking matter, but the bunny boy instantly regretted it when Taurtis broke down into tears. Taurtis then climbed out the window, kicking his short legs during the process. Grian and Sam instantly panicked and tried to reach out to Taurtis to grab onto him, but Taurtis already had jumped out the window. Mrs. Okami gasped loudly and pulled Sam and Grian out of the way, looking down to see Taurtis on his knees, holding his fish as he sobbed. He must've phased his legs during the process of jumping out the window.
While Mrs. Okami was distracted, Grian turned around and raced out of the room. Sam yelled after the brit and chased him, noticing that Grian was running down the stairs to go outside. Sam stopped at the door entrance and watched the brit run out towards Taurtis.
Taurtis weakly looked up with his eyes full of tears to see Grian in front of him. "Go away!" Taurtis yelled, sniffling. "I--I just want to help.," Grian said with his thick British accent. Taurtis rubbed the tears away from his eyes with his arm, still crying his heart out. Taurtis held his fish against his chest softly and he choked on a sob, looking down at the fish. "I'm so sorry Mr. Fish, I should've saved you..." Taurtis whimpered and nuzzled the fish's fin softly. Grian frowned. He felt absolutely terrible for doing this.
The brit looked up to the sky to notice it beginning to rain. He sighed softly and glanced back down at the shorter male in front of him, frowning still. Grian sighed again and got down onto his knees, ignoring the fact that his mum will murder him for getting his pants dirty from the mud. "Look Taurtis... I know you don't like me right now but I'm trying my best, okay? I'm extremely sorry for throwing Mr. Fish out the window, and you have every right to hate me but... I don't want you to hate me..." Grian muttered and looked down to the ground. Taurtis noticed that the British had tears in his eyes. 'So the jerk does care...' Taurtis thought to himself then looked down at Mr. Fish. He sighed shakily then looked at Grian. "Do you...want to help me...b--bury Mr. Fish?"
Grian slowly looked up at Taurtis as tears dripped down his cheeks. He slowly nodded and wiped his tears away, sniffling. "Y--yea.. its the best I can do..." Grian muttered as he helped himself up, helping Taurtis up as well.

Taurtis and Grian finished burying the fish besides the small stream that flows past the school. Taurtis was still being an emotional mess, but he felt better now that Grian helped him. Taurtis looked up at the taller male once they were done. "Thank you.." he muttered quietly. Grian looked down at him and smiled. "No problem..." he muttered back. They both looked down at where they buried Mr. Fish and Taurtis sighed. "I'll miss him.." he whimpered out. Grian frowned and he grabbed onto Taurtis' shoulder and pulled the smaller male close to him, hugging him softly. "I'm sorry..." Grian said quietly. Taurtis blushed softly but a small smile was placed onto his freckled face (I see Taurtis with dark skin and freckles hHh). Taurtis wrapped his arms around Grian's waist tightly and nuzzled his shirt softly.
"It's okay."
