Tiny Terror

Vasco vs. The Wild

(A/N: Shout out to @kcrumpler12345214 for drawing the Tasmanian Devil and inspiring me to write more on Tiny Terror! I'm also legit still emotional about someone drawing Mia and my heart weeps with joy T^T)

  "Mia! You're going to be late!"

  "I know, I know!" I called from my room while scrambling to get dressed and nearly tripped in my coveralls. Grabbing my bag, I rushed to the door and jumped into my shoes.

  "Whoa, what's with the jacket?"

  "Burn Knuckles." Was all I said before going out the door. Running down the sidewalk, I dodged around people and was mentally panicking. I had slept through my alarm and the only reason I even woke up was because Mom happened to have the day off and woke me when she finally got up herself.

  Panting as I burst into the classroom, I was absolutely exhausted. On the way to running here, I ended up getting distracted by some puppies at first, then someone challenged me to a fight, kittens in a store window, another challenge, fell into a puddle, and then yet another challenge before I finally managed to make it to school.

  Dragging my feet to my desk, I dropped my bag into my chair before turning toward the door. It was lunchtime, so I assumed the reason the classroom was empty was due to the fact that everyone was in the lunch hall.

  It was loud and rowdy inside, especially at the Burn Knuckles' tables, but that was no surprise. However, some blonde chick was wearing the Burn Knuckles coveralls and trying to sell books to the crew on how to get girls to like you.

  "Mia! You made it!" Jace called out and waved, and I tiredly returned the gesture.

  "Mia!" Vasco popped up from behind Jace and just getting to see his bright smile was like a cure for all my aches. "I thought you wouldn't make it to school!"

  "I managed." I gave a small smile before sitting next to Vasco and grabbing my fork to stab some fruit.

  "You know, when you deal with a girl, you gotta be like you own her!" Zack popped off, and I automatically kicked his chair out from under him, sending it flying as he fell to the floor.

  "I saw you kneel down to Mira as I walked in." I popped off. "And you don't act like you own her."

  "That was like an oath of a knight!" He retorted while getting up and rubbing his back.

  "You were begging her for forgiveness."

  "Anyway, girls like manly guys! Wait, no, gentle guys!"

  "Aren't you single?" One of the Burn Knuckles popped off.

  "Yeah! Even Vasco has a girlfriend."

  "What do you mean, 'even Vasco'!" The big guy shot a look at the guy that said that.

  "Yeah, what do you mean by that?" I furrowed my brows. "Look at this face- It's cute as Hell!" Grabbing Vasco's jaw, I held his head up while pointing with my fork. "And he's a total fuckin' sweetheart wrapped up in a beefcake."

  "B-Beefcake.... Mia." Jace shot me a look.

  "Don't look at me like that. Have you not seen his tiddies?! Absolutely perfect. And his arms? Bloody God-sends, they are." I waved my fork, and Vasco was turning red, but I wasn't lying. Vasco may have the heart of an angel, but his body was built for sin. That sweet face that could look so vicious, those hands that could hold a pup so gently and yet bust out teeth; he was like two extremes mashed together. And it was hot as Hell.
