TW: Bullying, Transphobia (the transphobe gets his ass whooped tho), and what could vaguely be read as a mention of abuse but it only last like one sentence

Please don't trigger yourself if any of these can set you off, if these make you uncomfortable or could possibly trigger anything, read with caution or don't read at all. It's up to you.

Dick didn't really care for recess. He enjoyed the break from the classwork, but all the other kids avoided him because they thought he was boring, so he mainly ended up sitting along the wall and reading a book. The other kids were extremely loud though, and the random screams hurt his ears from time to time.

But recess wan't necessarily 'bad' in his opinion. He just wished the teacher would let him to stay inside the classroom.

Dick looked up from his book at the loud 'thump' on the other side of the wall. He expected laughter or to see a group run over to grab a ball they'd thrown. He didn't expect an pained hiss.

He looked over the side of the wall to see an older kid smiling down at the new kid in Dick's grade who had a decent sized scrape on his arm.

"Sorry." Jonathan was the younger boy's name, Dick thought. He'd just transferred to this school a week and a half ago.

"Watch yourself bro, you wouldn't want your secret getting out at this school too, would you?" There was laughter that time but it sounded malice, like how goons laughed when they thought it'd be 'fun' to push him around.

If that was Jonathan's brother (Michael? Dick though that was the older's name) why wasn't he helping him? Dick's brothers fought a lot but they were never cruel enough to (Dick assumed) blackmail and laugh at one another like this.

"I-It's not a secret." Jonathan said back, cradling his arm. "I just haven't told anyone yet."

The older boy laughed again, kicking some dirt up towards the Jonathan's face. "Sure. And when you do tell someone its gonna be just like at the last school. Why don't you just man up." Jonathan flinched and Dick had seen enough.

"You are unnecessarily cruel." Dick said standing  beside Jonathan.

Michael just looked amused, "Who's this? I bet your 'friend' doesn't know."

Dick looked directly at the older boy. "Please stop harassing my classmate."

"Back up, tiny." The older said offhandedly, pushing Dick off to the side.

Dick grabbed Michael's wrist getting an annoyed gasp from the other. Michael tried to pull his wrist away, getting angrier when Dick didn't let go. 

"Let go, freak." Michael spat, still tugging on his wrist.

"Apologize to Jonathan." Dick said, watching the older struggle aimlessly.

"Get out of here before I beat your ass, kid."

"Just get out of here, Dick." Jonathan said, pulling Dick's attention away from his brother.

Dick shook his head. "He is obviously messing with you to purposely harm you."

"Ok, you've had your chance." Michael took a swing towards Dick head, an annoyed look on his face. Dick dropped down, flipping Michael over his shoulder in the process.
