Did Time Stop?

04. BUB?

Mattia's POV
I was starting college at Stockton University today and I was actually excited, yes I was nervous but I was a nice kid and was good academically, physically considering I play soccer, and I'm not bad looking. (A/N: we love when he's cocky 🤩)
At the college
I just got my schedule and room number, I was reading it as I was walking down the hall getting to my room so I could put my book bag and smaller things down first before going to my car and getting my bigger boxes. My head snapped up and my eyebrows furrowed as I heard a punch landing and a body falling. I look up to see a smaller guy on the floor holding his face. As a taller one is standing over him with a group surrounding. You can tell he wanted to cry because he had his nose kinda scrunched and was looking down.
"Woah man wtf?!" I say getting angry and my blood boiling walking over. I don't know why I was so angry about this one boy because there was another guy on the floor almost taller than the black haired boy but seeing him almost cry beyond angered and hurt him. Maybe because he's small? I don't know, I shake my head as I approach the group. As I'm about to get there I hear more guys.
"Hey!"
"Back tf up"
"Wtf are you doing leave them alone!"
"Aye guys, back off"
I was going to yell at the taller boy first but I looked down to see a bruise forming on his cheek.
"Hey bub, are you okay?" I ask examining his features closer, he is more feminine in the face. His eyes almost honey brown, they're impossible not to get lost in. My eyes soon trail to his lips. He licks them looking down with a pink tint creeping up on his face. They are small but not to small. His nose is an actual perfect size and the way he scrunches it is adorable. "Wait adorable? What?" I say to myself confused. I mentally sigh watching the smaller boy get up.
"You're a dick, you really have to bully people shorter than you just to prove a point?" He yells at him and I could tell he was getting angry, his eyes were narrowed, nostrils flaring and his fist clenched at his sides.
"You jumped in, you were and probably are irrelevant! You had NOTHING to do with this you FAG!"    The taller guy laughs a little  looking at his friend while he daps him up. Wtf? Why would you call someone that, and that's when I got pissed. I don't think there was ever a time I've been this pissed. Actually there was, maybe the author will tell you soon.
Me: Mattia it's my story let me say it jeez.
Mattia: well... get on with it
Me: Maybe I'll tell you guys soon. *sarcastic eye roll*
Mattia: I'm just quick like that *hair flip*
Kai: peryat 💅🏽
Me: okay idiots let my story continue.
Okay we're back to our scheduled program
The shorter boy is no longer in front of us. I should really figure out his name soon. While mentally noting that I get up beyond pissed and look this piece of shit right in the eye with so much anger in my eyes and my fists clenched.
"Listen here you disrespectful piece of shit, you are in no way any kind of relevant and you call someone else irrelevant? Get somewhere further in life than a cigarette carton which you wreak of by the way, and don't you EVER call someone a fag again or I myself will find you and beat the shit out of you, do you even know him? Do you know what he goes through? Is he even gay? What about the other one? Do you know anything about their life? No you fucking don't and if he was gay oh fucking well he is still a human and humans deserve respect and acceptance no matter what or who they like! Don't belittle someone else because your life's shitty and old prostitutes are the only girls that would give you the time of day and probably have expired titty milk, oh and newsflash just because you don't like something about him doesn't mean it's gonna change. So you and your "besties" need to get the fuck out of here before all of you are gonna get a rude awakening!" I yell while slowly walking closer to him making sure to lace my voice with as much venom as I can and getting in his face. I turn around to see the other group of guys that helped the other boy up behind me looking equally pissed.
"Yeah I'd take the hint and gtfo before I flip your world upside down." The tanner one of the group says, he's kind of short but not as short as the other boy which I need to find.
"Hmph whatever, come on guys." He says signaling his friends away.
"Thanks for backing me up guys, you seem cool, I just hate bullying." I say rubbing my face in annoyance.
"It's unnecessary and honestly you have no idea what a person has in their life, you should always be nice in the start unless they give you a reason not to be." This time a taller guy is speaking, he has a kinda weird shaped nose but oh well. Everyone's different. I suddenly remember that the other boy is somewhere and I want to go find him.
"Hey, I'll catch up with you guys later, lunch maybe?"
They all nod their heads as I head off towards a corner I saw the boy run to out of the corner of my eye while yelling at the slim Jim. I chuckle to myself at the nickname, I turn to see the boy with his head down in his knees with them pulled tightly to his chest sobbing lightly. It broke my heart and I couldn't tell why, I just wanted to make him feel better.
"Hey hey bub it's okay." I say reaching to grab him, he flinches at the contact and my face softens.
Kairi's POV
"Im not going to hurt you, I promise okay?" He says looking in my eyes, I lock mine on his and see he's sincere. There's seriousness yet something else there when I look at them but can't tell which confuses me so I tilt my head to the side which is my way of signaling my confusion. He must've noticed. His eyes flicker and then I see admiration show in his face, his lips slowly curving into a smile.
"U-uh are you okay?" He chokes out. Is he nervous? I smile at him nodding while leaning into his touch. My skin felt like my whole body was on fire, electricity running through my veins. My body fits into him perfectly, if only he was gay...

I'm not doing okay mentally, emotionally or physically and it sucks.. I cry almost every night, can never sleep and I'm just hurt. I will try to update as much as I can during this time :( just please be patient with me. I'm sorry.
