Lion (manxboy)

Chapter 1

He stood at the end of the table and fists against the hardwood, eyes filled with nothing but pure rage. "I didn't do it!" He roared, his black hair stuck to his forehead, his body shaking as he tried to calm himself down, "I didn't fucking do it," he snapped, his arms reaching for the side of the table, flipping it under itself. This man was full of rage, full of frustrations he could no longer explain. He was usually the silent type, he would have never yelled the way he'd just did, but he was mad, a mad man. A man of nature who filled himself with so many thoughts, he finally snapped. "If I would have done it, I would be in jail!" His voice was shaky as he continued seething words through his clenched teeth.

"Then why are you so upset, Mr. Meyer?" His social worker backed away from the tossed table, her lips pressed in a thin line. "I can assure you, if you hadn't done it, you would not be acting this way," she pressed the tip of her pen against the torn papers on her clipboard.

He was at a loss for words. His arms shook from agitation, "if you would be innocent and accused of something you didn't do. You'd be pissed too, lady," he growled deeply, forcing his way towards her. But before he could reach her, he was pulled back, a taser to his rib, and he collapsed to the ground.

She walked forward, her heels just before his face as she crouched, "see, the thing is, Lion, I know you did it," her hand reached for her glasses, triumphant smirk to her lips, "and these kind men will take good care of you. You are no longer in my custody." With a click of her pen, she rose back to her height, giving the nod to the gentlemen, and walking away.

His arms were loose, allowing the men to cuff him. They tugged at him until he stood tall, his hair falling forward with his leaned head. He couldn't believe what she'd done to him. All those years of trying his best to stay calm, not be the monster he used to be. And finally, it turned out he was never going to change. The fresh breeze hit his face, blowing his hair away as his eyes caught sight of the red and blue lights shining in the mist. He was hopeless. Lion broke away from the men, shaking them off like a wild animal as he roared out, trying his best to kick and scramble away from them, but before he could move any further, his head was being pushed down into a car. He watched the lights move in slow-motion like he was going to pass out. His eyes watered, "we'll be taking it from here. Agent Colm, please drive this man to the state office."

His head was over the car as Lion tried his best to take a peek at the tall man, but he could only see a light chocolate color and a large tattoo on the man's arm. He'd never seen anyone like him before, especially not in the law business. The driver's door opened and closed. He could see large shoulders, an undercut man bun, and sunglasses in the rear-view mirror. But he still didn't know who it was, "don't worry, kid, that lady will no longer be a problem for you," a deep voice spoke as the jeep began to move. Lion sat still, eyes still watering, his dark locks one-by-one falling forward as he hid his face, "we're gonna sort this out for you, aight?" It spoke again.

"How do you know?" He seethed softly, a few sniffles as he made himself comfortable in the back seat of the vehicle. "She - She kept telling me that I did it, I didn't do anything, I- I tried stopping them... please, you have to believe me," there was a deep grunt, and an arm pressed against the window like the man was in thought.

Agent Colm sighed as he sped up, his thumb tapping against the steering wheel, "I don't know what happened, kid, but you can't convince me until you've accomplished your probation. I heard you haven't been doing very well with that," he chuckled softly, "but we'll help you out."

"Who are you anyway? You don't act like a probation officer," Lion leaned forward a bit, sneaking a glance of the man. He had a sharp jawline with three hoop earrings to his ear, a built shoulder, and torso; that's all Lion could see from his small view.
