(Trace's POV)

When Kastle and I arrive at school we say our good bye's and go to our separate classes.

...........Time Skip...........

It is now lunch time and as I walk down the hall way towards the cafeteria and I can see Kastle being harassed by a clique of the schools biggest assholes, they were making fun of his clothes and calling him a faggot. That was IT! I was tired of this bullshit so I ran over to him and I got rid of the tramps harassing my love. Once he see's me he hugs my torso and starts to cry into my chest. I just stroke his hair and let him calm down a bit before suggesting that I take him home. He calms down then nods his head yes then, I take him home.

...........On the way home..........

"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask. He shakes his head "no" then lets out a long and quiet sigh. The whole ride was quiet and I couldn't help but worry about him, he is my love, and I love him more than I can ever scream. ^^

We arrive at our house and we get out, Kastle drags his bag with his head down. "Here, I'll carry it." I say taking his bag. He complies glumly and lifts his head to look at me, he has a very sad and forced smile on his face. I give him a small smile and I engulf him into a huge hug, then the water works to spring free. I stroke his hair and he try's desperately to stop crying but it isn't working so I sing softly to him.

When he finally calms down I ask him why he was crying. "W-When they c-called me fat and a tramp I-I just tried my best t-to ignore everything b-but i-it just w-was too much a-and I believed e-very thing they said. I-I just couldn't h-handle it." He was sobbing even more and I was trying my damn hardest to calm him down. I can't stand to see my love like this.

I grab his waist and place my left hand behind his neck. I bring my lips down to his hair and whisper only the truth. "Listen to me Kastle, you are so so so beautiful. don't you dare listen to what those stupid plastic pieces of garbage say about you. they know nothing about the true you. you deserve so much more than I could ever give you."

"L-look..." I grab his chin lightly and pull his face up to meet mine. "I am in love with you and I cannot stand seeing you like this. You mean way too much to me." He smiles broadly and pulls my shirt making me get closer to him and lightly places his lips on mine. I don't hesitate to kiss back.

"so..." I say when I pull away. "Is that a positive response?"

"You're so stupid" He puts his hand on my cheek and smiles with tears still flowing down his soft features. "Of course it is" I smile wide and hug him tightly. "want to go inside now?" I ask feeling the gravel on the driveway dig into my worn out high tops. He nods and I lift him up bridal style to take him inside. My beautiful. I love him. Why can't he see just how much he deserves?
