Hi everyone, this is just something that's been rattling around in my head for a little while now so I hope it's not too bad. It's a Heath x Manny slash because the fandom doesn't get enough love. Anyways, hope you enjoy. Also if you don't like slash fics that's your problem, I don't want any mean comments alright.
PS; I own nothing
It was a cool autumn day at Monster High. Manny Taur the school's resident bully stood by the old haunted oak in the front of the school. He was looking around as if trying to find someone. Frankie Stein walked past as she was heading home. She saw Manny and knew he was clawsome at mad science, they had a big test the next day and she wanted to pick his brain a bit. She walked over to the Minotaur and noticed he seemed a bit distracted.
"Hey Manny are you alright?" The bull boy jumped when he heard the ghoul.
"Oh Frankie it's just you." Frankie raised a brow at the monster boy.
"Are you okay Manny you seem a little out of it." Manny looked at her for a second then continued scanning the grounds.
"Yeah Frankie I'm fine. I just have some plans with Heath tonight and he's late meeting me here." Frankie nodded remembering how impatient Manny gets.
"I thought Heath had detention today because he accidentally melted that statue in the library this afternoon." Manny straightened up and face palmed at the stupidity of his old friend.
"Thanks for the heads up Frankie. Looks like I just stood here for half an hour for nothing." Frankie nodded again and waved him goodbye.
Manny sighed and walked into the school. He knew where they held detention and knew that Mr. Rotter watched detention on Fridays. He opened the door seeing Mr. Rotter at the front desk and four students around the room. Looking around Manny found Heath at the back of the classroom.
Heath looked up at the clock, there was only two minutes left of detention. He looked around the room starting to get antsy about leaving and going to find Manny. He knew he was in trouble for making Manny wait so long. Mr. Rotter confiscated all their cell phones at the beginning of detention so he wasn't able to text Manny to let him know he'd be late.
"Aw Mr. Taur, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be out enjoying the Friday evening?" Heath gasped and looked over to the door seeing Manny looking right at him.
"Hi there Mr. Rotter. I was on my way to do just that. I had plans with Heath tonight but it looks like he forgot to tell me he had detention today." Heath turned away looking a bit sheepish.
"I see well detention is almost over if you want to wa…." Just then the bell rings and the students exit the room. Heath walks over to Manny still looking ashamed. He grabs his phone off the front desk and the two leave for the weekend.
"Now then, care to tell me why you didn't text me you'd be late." Manny refused to look at the smaller creature.
"I'm really sorry Manny I am. The detention was a last second thing and Mr. Rotter took my phone so I couldn't tell you." Manny finally looked down at the fire child. Heath was making the puppy dog eyes he always made when he wanted Manny to forgive him. Manny sighed and put his left arm around the smaller boy's waist.
"Well when you put it that way I really can't stay mad at you can I?" Heath grinned and let Manny lift him off the ground a bit so they could kiss.
Both boys were still getting used to kissing each other. Manny's bull muzzle made things a little difficult and when Heath got really turned on he flamed up. The two together looked pretty miss matched. However they cared for each other a great deal. Neither would say love. And what made their romance more confusing was that they kept it completely secret. Both Heath and Manny are in the closet. Neither of them has even come out to their families yet. Manny was the more closeted of the two. Heath didn't care so much if people knew he was gay, but he was loyal to his boyfriend and agreed he'd come out with Manny when he was ready. As far as anyone else knew they are just best friends.
They got to Manny's house that evening happy they'd get some alone time. Both Manny's parents went to his little sister Minnie's ballet recital. Normally he'd go with them but he'd already told his parents he was hanging out with Heath that night so they said they could use the house for the night. The two got to the Greek country house and entered to a very tidy traditional looking living room.
"Heath I glad we're alone. I actually want to talk to you about something." Heath looked up to his secret boyfriend curiously.
"What's up Manny?" The two sat down on the large L couch and Manny sighed.
"I-I think that...I'm ready. To come out I mean." Heath paused for a second but smiled and took Manny's hand.
"I'm glad you think you're ready. How about you come out to your parents first and we'll go from there."
"Alright, but could you be with me when I do? I just don't think I can do this alone"
"Of course dude. You know I'm right here for you."
Manny did know that. He smiled at his secret love and brought the smaller boy onto his lap. The size difference between the two boys was almost comical. They sat there in silence for a while simply holding each other. Manny was never really the type to show affection outside of his family, but Heath was a special exception. He adored the younger creature with all he had. And he knew that Heath felt the same.
"Hey Manny?" Manny looked down at Heath and the smaller moved his head up just enough to kiss the bigger. Just as the two deepened their kiss the door to the Taur residence swung open.
"Manny!" The boys parted and looked toward the door. Standing there was a giggling Minnie and two shocked Taur parents.
"M-Mom, dad w-what are you doing back so soon?" Manny stood up completely red in the face. This wasn't the way he planned to tell them the truth.
"Minnie's recital was canceled because the lead girl got chicken pox. Manny when were you going to tell us about this?" His father asked.
"I well...I actually was...I mean I was gonna, but I...I...I..." Manny was frozen in place. He tried to speak but couldn't find the words. He fell onto the couch and began to cry. Heath who had been standing quietly till now sat next to Manny to comfort him.
"I-I'm sorry. I know I should h-have told you, b-but I just c-couldn't. I k-know how traditional you are and I-I just d-didn't want to disappoint you." Manny began sobbing.
"Manny it's alright. Just calm down okay." Heath spoke gently soothing the larger boy's back.
But Manny couldn't calm down. He thought it was over. His parents knew about him now and now they're mad at him he just knew it. Even Heath's touch which normally calmed him down easily couldn't help him. He couldn't take it anymore and ran up to his bedroom. He locked the door and collapsed on the floor. This was to much for him right now. Why did it have to happen to him?
Mean while down stairs...
"Oh no man, this is bad, seriously bad." Heath paced back and forth nervously while Mr and Mrs. Taur sat on the couch still processing.
"I don't understand why Manny felt he needed to hide this from us." Mr. Taur thought out loud.
"He was going to tell you guys this tomorrow. He thought we'd have the house to ourselves tonight and we were off our guard." Heath ranted more to himself.
"Mommy, daddy are you mad at Manny because he loves Heath?" The three look over to the little Minotaur sat on the floor. Mrs. Taur picked up the little girl and held her tight.
"No baby we're not mad at all. We're surprised that he felt he needed to hide something like this from us but we're not angry at him." Heath stopped pacing and looked over to the small family.
"Listen you guys, I'm going up stairs to try and talk to Manny. Who knows how this is messing him up right now."
"I'll go with you Heath. I just hope he'll listen." Heath nodded and Mr. Taur followed him up stairs.
They got to the end of the hall to Manny's room and Heath knocked.
"Manny, it's me, are you alright? Manny?" He didn't answer, not a single sound.
"Son, are you okay in there? Please Manny we just want to talk." Again no answer.
"MANNY!" Mr. Taur shouted slamming into the door busting it open.
Heath entered the room first and froze. Mr. Taur entered next and did the same. There in front of them stood or really lied an unconscious Manny. The two snapped out of their trances and helped Manny up onto his bed. Heath turned on the lamp of Manny's nightstand and eyes were completely glazed over and red. His cheeks still lightly tear stained. Mr. Taur sat on the bed holding his son.
"It looks like he cried himself to sleep or something." Heath said sitting on Manny's other side.
"Oh son, why did you do this to yourself? Why didn't you trust that your mother and I would support you?" But Mr. Taur knew he wouldn't get an answer with him in this state.
"Heath why don't you come back tomorrow? I'll call the school in the morning saying Manny will be out." Heath nodded and got up. Before he left the room Heath turned to his love and walked back to the bed. He bent over and placed a light kiss on Manny's lips.
"Don't worry Manny, it'll be okay i promise." With that Heath left and headed home to get himself ready for a very difficult day tomorrow.
Alright people that's the cliff hanger. But don't worry sweeties I'll get part two up in no time. Hope you enjoyed my first MH fic. Let me know in the comments what you thought. Again nothing mean okay. Bye-bye =).
