Jay/Carlos
Child Taylor
Age 15
Prompt so Taylor was bullied or used by a boy and Carlos and Jay threaten him with these attack dogs and steal a bunch of his stuff.
A few weeks ago, Taylor's school had there sports awards night. Taylor was there of course, as she played almost every sport offered at the school. At the ceremony, the school awarded one student the "Athlete of the Year" award. And this year, the lucky winner was Taylor. Her parents were very proud of her (they may have shed some tears).
However, Steven Smith, Taylor's rival at school, wasn't happy with the outcome of the awards night. He firmly believed that he deserved the award and that Taylor shouldn't have won. For the past two weeks, every chance he got he reminded Taylor that he should have won and how horrible she is and what a total b*tch she is and a lot of other crap. For the most part, Taylor just ignored him. But today, he did something she couldn't ignore.
It was the end of the day and Taylor was getting ready to head home. She finished putting away her unwanted textbooks in her locker and was ready to walk home (since she lived like five minutes down the road.) She closed her locker and turned to come face to face with Steven.
"Ugh, Steven, what do you want now?" Taylor asked, crossing her arms.
"I want what's rightfully mine," Steven said.
"Look, Steven, we've been over this. I'm the better athlete and you just have to accept that," Taylor said smugly.
"Ah, yeah right b*tch. We all know I'm the top athlete at the school and the only reason they're even giving you the award is because they want to encourage more girls to play sports," Steven said, "So here's what your gonna do. You're going to walk down to the office and tell them that you don't want the award. You're going to tell them that I deserve it. Got it?"
"Oh yeah? And what are you gonna do if I don't Steven?" Taylor asked and the next thing she knew, Steven's fist connecting with her face. Taylor stumbled back, almost falling to the ground. She covered the eye that had been hit and when she looked over at where Steven was standing, he was gone.
Taylor was shocked. Now, she wasn't like other girls who screamed in terror at the thought of violence. She was tough and she had been taking martial arts since she was four. But for a guy to punch her? She'd never been in a fight fight before and she'd never have someone hit her and mean to hurt her. That's what shocked her. She opened her locker and looked in the mirror she had in there. Steven's fist had given her a nice black eye.
"Oh no, dads are so gonna freak," Taylor whispered before hurriedly rushing out the door of the school and jogging home. The whole jog home Taylor tried to think of an excuse as to why she had a black eye. Hit herself with her locker? Fell down the stairs? Some rabid dog? No, none of those would work. I'll just have to hide it Taylor thought as she arrived at her family's home. To her luck, both her parents were home.
"Alright, I'll just go in there and rush right upstairs," Taylor whispered before opening the door. Both her dads were in the living room and from their view, they could only see the side of her face that didn't have the black eye.
"Hi dads, I'm back from school, love ya," Taylor said as she ran up the stairs to her room. At the sound of her voice, both Carlos and Jay looked up from the TV and over at the stairway, only to see their daughter race onto the last step and disappear from sight. This action alone worried them. Taylor always saw them when she got home. She'd walk over, give them a hug and talk for a while before she went and did her own thing.
"What's up with her?" Carlos asked his husband.
"I don't know, but it's weird. Maybe something happened at school?" Jay guessed. Taylor usually didn't hide things from her fathers. Most of the time she just told them what was going on, they were that close.
"What if it's a girl thing? I hate when they're girl things," Carlos said, groaning at the thought. Last time the 'girl problem' was that Taylor had no tampons and couldn't leave the house to get more because "she didn't want niagara to explode in her pants." The two stood in the aisle for a solid half hour before giving up and calling Evie for help. She still hasn't let them live that down.
"Nah, she usually more up front with girl things," Jay said thinking, "You know, we could just ask her."
"Guess it's worth a shot," Carlos said with a shrug.
"Taylor, will you come down here please?" Jay shouted. Upstairs, Taylor heard her dad's shout and cursed. She had just found the makeup Aunt Evie gave her and she couldn't face her dads without it. If they saw the black eye, they'd freak and baby her.
"Um, I'm a little busy at the moment. I'm working on, uh, homework," Taylor lied, hoping her dads would buy it. They didn't. Taylor always did her homework after dinner, never before.
"You can work on homework later. Just come down here please," Jay shouted up to her again. What do I do, what do I do? Taylor thought as she rushed around the room trying to figure out something. Coming up with no good plan, she settled with the quickest thing. She pulled her hair out of the pony tail it was in and parted her hair so some of the front section was covering her black eye. Sure she looked goth but it was better then anything. She took her time getting downstairs, since she really didn't want to face her dads.
"You guys wanted to see me?" Taylor said, standing in the entry way. Both dads looked at each other before looking back at Taylor.
"Um, why is your hair like that?" Carlos asked.
"I'm, uh, experimenting. It's a common thing that teens do and uh, I'm a teen so I figured, why not experiment with my look," Taylor rambled, a sign that she was lying. Both her dads knew all the signs of her lying.
"Yeah, sure. Just move your hair and sit down," Jay said, his worry for his daughter growing. Taylor rarely lied, and it was never to them.
"Um, no thanks, I'm good here," Taylor said, leaning against the wall. Rolling his eyes, Jay stood up, walked over to his daughter, and moved her hair.
"Um, I don't think you wanna," Taylor said just before her dad moved her hair. Both her parents gasped with shock when they saw the black eye.
"Oh my god, Taylor! Why didn't you tell us!" Jay said in shock.
"I'm getting you some ice," Carlos said, already halfway to the kitchen.
"Daddy, that's not necessary. I'm fine, it doesn't even hurt," Taylor said.
"Oh really," Jay said rising an eyebrow. He poked the black eye with one finger and Taylor flinched in pain, muttering a soft 'ow'. "Yeah that's what I thought." Jay grabbed one Taylor's arms and lead her to the couch just as Carlos walked back in with the ice pack. Carlos sat next to his daughter and placed the ice pack on the brushing. Taylor flinched at the cold.
"Alright, who did this to you? What happened?" Jay asked, sitting on the other side of Taylor.
"Um, I hit my face with my locker," Taylor lied.
"Seriously? We know when your lying Taylor," Carlos said, "What happened?"
"Alright, there's this guy in my grade named Steven Smith and he's all pissed because I got the athlete of the year award and he didn't. For the past few weeks he's been annoying the crap out of me, going on and on about how he should have won and girls don't deserve to win. Today, he told me to tell the office that I wanted to give my award to him. I told him no and he punched me in the face," Taylor explained. When she finished her tale, her dads were furious. How dare someone do that to their little girl.
"How dare he!" Jay said, standing up in rage.
"Dad, calm down, it's fine," Taylor said.
"It is not fine Taylor. No guy should ever hit a girl, especially my little girl. I swear, when I lay my hands on that guy," Jay said, cracking his knuckles.
"You know, we just got some aggressive dogs in the shelter. I say we go and take them to that guy's house and let them take care of him," Carlos said, just as angry as Jay.
"Dads, you are not allowed to hurt him or send attack dogs. Besides, I already plan on emailing the principal," Taylor explained, the only calm one in the room.
"Fine, you're sure your okay?" Carlos asked in concern.
"Positive Dad, it's just a little sore, that's it. I think I'm just gonna go upstairs and take a nap," Taylor said, standing up. She gave each of her dads a hug before going upstairs to her room.
"Alright, sleep tight honey. We're gonna go pick up some food," Jay shouted up to Taylor, getting an "okay" in response. Carlos looked at his husband with confusion on his face.
"Why do we need to go get food? You already started dinner and we just went grocery shopping yesterday," Carlos questioned.
"We're not getting food, we're getting revenge," Jay said, tossing Carlos the car keys.
The next day, Taylor returned from school with a smug look on her face. She walked over to her two dads in the kitchen and stood in front in of them with her arms crossed.
"So, is there anything you two want to tell me?" Taylor asked.
"I don't think so," Carlos responded.
"Why? Did something happen at school?" Jay asked, acting completely oblivious.
"Yes, actually. Steven showed up to school with bite marks on his arms and legs. He claimed that some crazy dogs chased him around the woods near his house last night. He also said that when he got back home, some of his belongings were gone. Do you two know anything about that?" Taylor asked, raising her eyebrow at them.
"Wow, how tragic," Carlos said, taking a sip of his drink.
"Yes, horrible. However, I know nothing about that," Jay added, also taking a sip of his beverage. Taylor just shook her head before giving each dad a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you," she said before turning and going upstairs to her bedroom.
"We did good," Carlos said, giving his husband a kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah, we sure did."
I hope that was good. I can totally picture Carlos and Jay getting revenge like that though. I hope you enjoyed it and thanks for reading!
Next time will be another Mal&Ben story with Davina (since I have like fifty requests for them) this one will be a little different and will be centered around chocolate chip cookies.
