I'm in a fluffy mood today and this came out of it.

This was war!
He paced back and forth in front of Minion, wearing a green army uniform with several stars and medals all showing the world his amazing achievements which he had many of. That in itself was amazing, for he was only a boy of seven. He held himself upright, chin up and hands neatly placed behind his back. To any outsiders who looked passed his odd appearance they would see a young, mature boy who looked the part of a disciplined military officer. But no one would ever care to look past his differences and see who he really was. If they looked it him at all it would be with a scowl or to make fun of him again. It was all Metro Boy's fault, too!
He had called him out yet again for being different, and the bigots that were his classmates joined in his teasing tirade. Didn't they see he was just as different? He could fly, shoot lasers from his eyes, pick up buildings, and hear things from miles away! None of that mattered because Metro Boy looked human and these "gifts" as people called them, were what made him cool where as his gifts made him a freak. Just thinking about it made him so mad that he wanted to dehydrate them all with his dehydration gun. So why hadn't he? Why hadn't he just broken all the rules and gotten his sweet revenge?
He turned in his pacing and his eyes were caught by the beautiful ocean blue of anothers. Oh. That's right. She was his reason. Seeing those wonderful joy filled eyes knocked him right out of his daydream and back down to the harsh reality that was life.
He had been placed in time out yet again "talking back" to the teacher and "picking on others". He had just asked her why she was continually taking Wayne side when he was clearly as different, if not more so, than himself. She had promptly sent him to time out to think over what he had just said. So he did and he decided that he had been right and that everyone in his class and possibly the whole world were ignorant fools who refused to see the obvious. Except for her. (And Minion of course. And maybe the Warden as well.)
She was the one exception to this rule because she was different. She looked passed what was on the outside and saw what he was inside. She gave him a chance and didn't ostracize him because of his looks or his intelligence. Sometimes the other kids gave her funny looks because of it, but she never seemed to mind. In fact, she had told him many times that she didn't care if they found her strange. That was their problem, not hers. God, she was amazing.
He had managed to catch her eye as she turned around to give him a quick smile. He smiled back and felt the butterflies in his stomach flutter. She made him feel so good when they spent time together. Minion liked her and she liked him as well. She didn't find his big teeth scary in the slightest and he admired her a lot. He noticed her start to fidget in her seat as she constantly glanced at the clock. He wondered if something was wrong.
A loud bell rang and she was the first one out of her seat. She dashed over to the closet and grabbed her backpack and his before coming over to him with the biggest smile on her face. He stood up and she handed him his backpack.
"Are you ready?" She asked him.
"Yeah," He replied with a smile on his face.
For the first time in the history of forever, the Warden was allowing him to have a friend over after school and he had asked her if she would like to come over. He had been nervous at first because he lived in a prison and he was afraid that she would say no because she knew this. Shocking him once again she had said yes before he could even get the question out of his mouth. So today he was going to introduce her to the Warden and all of his uncles and show her all of his pictures and inventions and it was going to be amazing.
"Alright! Let's go then!" she reached out and took his hand.
He didn't pay any attention to the teachers or students who gave him odd looks as he walked down the hallway and out of the school with Minion and her. He didn't take the shortcut to the prison and he didn't run in his haste to get home. Instead, he took his time and enjoyed every second of the wonderful light that had picked him, the strangest person on the planet, to share its luminosity with.
Mmm... Warm and fuzzy. Please leave a review if you enjoyed this short story! I might publish more like this here, so I'll leave this uncomplete until further notice.
