The Blind and Bullied (John x Dave)

As the halls suddenly grew quiet at the sight of Dave, you might not think of him as the school bully. With his douchebaggy shades and his simple white t-shirt with that record on him, he looked as innocent as ever. But, everyone knew that looks were deceiving. Everyone, but a boy named John. Why? He's blind dumbass he can't see looks.

It was an unreasonably warm November day over at MSPA High. It might have been warm outside, but as Dave walked across the halls, the place seemed to get cold with fear and silence. John was his target today. He was new and blind, and he made an easy target. His guide, a paraplegic guy named Tavros, made this all the easier. As the two of them headed towards their next class, John felt Tavros freeze in place.

"What's wrong Tavros?" John asked in confusion "We're gonna be late if we don't—""Shut up eyeless!" Dave interrupted and pushed John into the lockers. John was in a mix of shock and fear. He was told about Dave Strilonde, the Senior Bully of MSPA High. He believed that Dave wouldn't hurt him because of his problem, but he was wrong. "Are… are you Dave?" John rasped "Of course I am! Who do you think I am your just as blind sister?" Those final words stung John like lemon juice in a cut. His sister, Jade, came to the school before he did, and met Dave before he did too. She told him many stories between the two of them. With her dyslexia, she was found being picked on every day by him.

As Dave departed after pushing John again and flipped Tavros over, the halls quickly filled with whispers of what just happened. "Why is he like that Tavros?" John asked to his friend after recovering, even if he was blankly staring at a wall. "Uh, we don't really know." Tavros said "Some people say it's because of his insecurity of his homosexuality, but others say because he was born to be the biggest ironic douche of the universe, I think. Uh, a little help please?" As John tried his best to help Tavros up, he couldn't keep thinking about Dave's sexuality. Is it true? Am I not the only gay person here? Am I actually attracted to this douche? This was spinning in his head until the bell rang and they were off to English.

During lunch, John decided he knew the grounds enough to be alone for a while. "You sure about this John?" Tavros asked. "Yes I'm certain." John said, still a little unsure about his own decision. He mostly was hoping to talk to his sister about Dave. He wouldn't know when she got here but he knew that she would know when to talk to him. And that time was now. "Hi there John!" Jade said as she sat down next to her. The smell of citrus fruits quickly filled John's nose. She always seems to be eating either a lemon here or an orange there. "I heard about what happened in the halls. You ok?" "Yeah I'm fine. Do I look fine to you?" John replied, in hope he doesn't look all that damaged on the outside. "Yes you look fine, minus a few bruises."

Shortly after, Dave came out. John didn't know, until he was almost right on top of him. John didn't know whether to be scared or excited. Scared, because of Dave being the senior bully, but excited because of Dave suddenly becoming his sudden love interest. It was rare for John to find guys he liked, but something within Dave's douchebag level made him seem very attractive. But as for Jade, she decides to ditch you in wish you for the best. Sister of the year right there goddamn it! John thinks.

"Look who it is, John Fucking Egley…Eggbert…Egg-whatever. What brings you to this spot?" Dave says somewhat monotone. They were pretty much alone, since everyone else was busy eating their lunch. "What do you want Strilonde?" John says like he's about to confess something. He doesn't of course. Instead, he gets pulled back inside into a Janitor's closet without anyone noticing. Of course, all John could feel was him being pulled to god knows where. But just as he believes he's about to get the beating of his life, something else happens. Something warm, and somewhat chapped, touches his lips. It takes him at least 10 seconds to process what is going on. He not bleeding, but instead, he's being kissed. Kissed, by Dave fucking Strilonde, the senior bully of MSPA High.

Shortly after, Dave releases his grip from John. John's very stunned, but manages not to fall to the ground in shock. "Although you might be a scrawny and non-ironic dumbass nerd, you're still the only gay guy that wasn't put off by my asshole acts." Dave said eventually. John was in half shock, half happiness. "How did you?" "Being the school's bully, I have spies everywhere." Dave replied "One of them told me about you mumbling my name during English, facing blankly towards the window. It's like one of those dumb romance novels, where someone turns the other fucking cheek just to be in love with someone, ironic or otherwise. But this is total irony for the both of us."

As Dave helps John up, he realizes that it's 10 minutes past lunch and they are both late for their classes, but none of them care. They decide to keep this a secret until John gets out of high school. Until then, they decide to act the same way they did earlier that day, as they only tell a few people the truth. But even then, John decides against telling Jade because of how excited she gets about secrets. But he knows that she'll find out eventually. She always does.
