Author's Note:

Yay, more Bark!

SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BOOK 6 AND ON!

This is just a short. I been planning on writing this fer a good while now, I want to have text fer prolly all of my pics. ^^ So this one is fer my pic 'Don't Like Bullies'. Takes place Before The War.

In Middle School it was clear that Mark must've had a hard time with bullies and Andy always seemed to be the one to hurt him most.

What would things have been like if Bobby was actually there to protect him, to stand up for him against the threats of Andy Mitchell? Also known as Saint Dane. I hope that all of you enjoy this little short! ^^

Have a nice steaming cup of yaoi and enjoy! Hobey Ho!

Side Notes:

You've been with me through thick and thin, you've never let me down

You're always there to lend a hand when there's no one else around

You had the faith when no one else believed

You gave me strength 'cause you saw the good in me

I can't imagine me without you or you without me

We've always been two best friends, naturally

And if I'm ever afraid, you help me pull through

Forever, best friends, me and you

You need to know you're not alone, I'll be back real soon

There's not a day, when I'm away, that I won't think of you

Don't give up hope, we'll be a team again

And in your heart, you've got to know, I'll always be your friend


Bullies


BEFORE THE WAR


"Haven't got that weez Pendragon around this time, have you?

Mark tightened his gaze on his shoes, avoiding eye contact. Maybe if he didn't say anything, if he just took it, it would be easier.

Andy frowned down at the bespeckled boy, "Scared of me are you, Dimond?" he shoved Mark back into the wall, "Do I scare you?"

Mark winced when his shoulder hit the bricks behind them, finally he looked at Andy Mitchell. He didn't say anything, he stared at the boy that had been his bully since kindergarten. Why me?

"I-If you hurt me, B-Bobby won't be happy. He'll c-come for you," whenever Mark was nervous he had a bit of a stutter, what he said was a bluff, and his stutter would always betray him. But he had to say something to defend himself, he was tired of buying new glasses.

For a moment it seemed that Andy's eyes had become a sort of pale, cold blue, and Mark froze in shock. His eyes widened. Then the eyes were brown again and Andy looked unsettled.

"What're you staring at Dimond?" He hit Mark in the stomach and hissed out, "I don't swing that way."

Mark fell to the ground, hearing Andy's voice laced with venom.

Andy bent down and grabbed up Mark by the collar of his hoodie, he lifted the smaller boy up from the ground. He pulled his fist back and hit Mark in the nose, "Boy, don't you wish Pendragon was here to stop me."

Mark grabbed at his nose, saw the blood on his sleeves, was it broken?

"Too bad for you," Andy hit Mark in the face again and grabbed him by his hair, throwing him back against the wall, "he can't stop me, Dimond."

"Hey!"

Mark and Andy turned to see Bobby sprinting down the empty hallway towards them.

Andy smiled coldly, "Well, well, the hero's arrived," he hit Mark again.

Mark, who had been staring at Bobby with wide eyes, fell to the ground once more.

Andy managed to kick him in the stomach before Bobby reached them.

"Get off of him, Mitchell," Bobby ran and tackled Andy to the floor.

Mitchell tried to shove him off, "Get off me you weez!"

Andy threw Bobby off finally and stood up, he moved to Mark again, Bobby stood up and shoved himself between the two.

Mark grabbed at Bobby's shirt from behind with his freehand, he held his bleeding nose with his other one, "Don't Bobby, he's not worth getting in trouble."

Andy moved to get into Bobby's face, he was ready to hit the other boy when Bobby reached out and grabbed his wrist to stop him.

"Back down, Mitchell." Bobby stared at him sternly, "back down now and I won't beat you down."

Andy pulled his wrist out of Bobby's grip, he glared at him, "we're not done, you and I, Pendragon. Soon enough you won't be here to save him every time."

Andy walked away.

Bobby watched him leaving, he turned to Mark and took his hand that was still clasped on Bobby's t-shirt, "lets see it."

Mark shook his head but Bobby grabbed the wrist of the hand covering his nose and moved it away.

Bobby's eyebrows went down as anger filled him.

"Is it broken?"

"I don't know," Bobby dragged Mark into the nearest boy's bathroom.

Mark sat on the counter as Bobby wiped away the blood with a wet napkin.

"You should've been at basketball practice."

Bobby smiled and shook his head, "No, I shouldn't have."

"How did you know?" Mark asked as Bobby threw away the napkin and got a new, clean one.

"I just had a feeling, I guess." Bobby went back to cleaning the blood from Mark's nose, "I remembered seeing Andy smoking over there. I knew you went by there on your way to the gym everyday after school."

Mark stared at Bobby and smiled wide, "You were worried about me."

Bobby nodded. "I'm always worried about you."

Bobby leaned in and pressed his lips to Mark's.

Mark stopped breathing, he almost froze, but he closed his eyes instead and kissed back despite the shock.

"It's not broken," Bobby said when he pulled out of the kiss, "Your house?"

Mark smiled.

"Yes."
