Chapter Two: Find Good In The Bad
A few days had passed since Zoot and Jaffa had become a couple and they were enjoying their new found closeness. Though they hadn't gone any further then holding hands and kissing which was perfectly fine with Zoot. He knew how hard It was for Jaffa to trust anyone.
Zoot was sitting in the hall with Zoot sitting on their steps, they were eating lunch when a gang who called themselves The Demon Dogs came over and started to cause trouble.
"Hey Jaffa where's our History papers?" the leader asked picking Jaffa up by the collar bad holding him of the ground.
Jaffa gulped, he had completely forgotten about the papers he was suppose to write for them.
Jaffa shook with fear but couldn't say a word. He never spoke to anyone but Zoot.
Zoot growled at this and pushing the leader away and caught Jaffa as he fell. He put Jaffa down and then stalked over to the Demon Dogs leader and stood right up In his face "Leave him alone! Do your own work for a change you creep!" he shouted spitting In the guys face.
The Demon Dogs leader laughed "Why are you defending this twerp, join us Zoot. Your better then him." he said.
Zoot just laughed at this and the leader thinking he was agreeing laughed along with him. But was stunned when Zoot punched him so hard In the face he flew round and fell down the stairs.
The other Demon Dogs got a bit mad at this and started to lay into Jaffa out of revenge. Zoot managed to get them of but Jaffa was badly hurt. They had winded him and broken some ribs.
"Come on we need to get you to the hospital." Zoot said and helped Jaffa to the Nurses office who called the ambulance.
It turned out Jaffa had two broken ribs and was now covered in bruises. He was resting now asleep In A hospital bed. Zoot sat next to him holding his hand.
Zoot kissed Jaffa's pale hand and Jaffa begun to stire and smiled softly when he saw Zoot next to him.
Zoot smiled back "Hey there, how are you feeling?" he asked and leaned kissing him gentle.
"Yes I'm OK now,you saved me." he smiled and moaned a little when he was kissed.
"Well your worth It. I love you so much." Zoot said.
Jaffa blushed then looked up when the doctor came In.
"Hello there Jaffa I need to ask you for your parents contact details so they can coem pick you up." he said.
At the mention of his parent's Jaffa went If possible even paler then normal. Zoot squeezed Jaffa's hand "Um that's not such a good idea." he said to the doctor who frowned.
Zoot looked to Jaffa to see If It was OK to tell the doctor and Jaffa nodded.
Zoot explained what had been going on and so the doctor said he wouldn't let them hurt him. "I will have to report this to the child protection agency. They can not be allowed to get away with such behaviour." he said.
Jaffa nodded and the doctor said he would be back soon to get a statement from him and left the room.
"Thank you for standing up for me against the Demon Dogs." he said.
Zoot smiled and kissed him again. Jaffa reached up to wrap his arm round Zoot but winced.
"Hey take It easy you broke two ribs OK." Zoot told him.
Jaffa nodded and they continued to kiss. After a while they sat talking waiting for the doctor to come back.
The statement was taken from both of them and the doctor allowed Jaffa to go live with Zoot and his parents for the time being while the investigation was taking place.
