A/N: So this is how my English class went!
Teacher: Blah, blah, Beowulf, blah, blah, women and gold, blah, blah, blood and death.
Me: *Writing this*
Enjoy! This is a bit serious.
And thanks very, very much to LEXIRENT97 for your review! You are actually AMAZIIIINNNNGGGGGG!
And to CherryIce1988, yeah, I had to. The last chapter was kind of... not very kid friendly XD
Summary: Connor and Kevin's reaction to homophobia. Takes place in College AU
"I'm fine."
"You're not fine."
"Yes, I am."
"I can't believe you didn't let me kill the bastard."
"Kevin, violence will get you nowhere."
"But-"
"You just have to learn to deal with it. There are homophobes in the world and we just have to… deal with it."
"Did you even hear what he said to you, Connor?"
"Of course I heard. He was right in front of me and kind-sorta in my face."
"I still can't believe-"
"Drop it."
"But-"
"Please?"
"Okay… How's your arm?"
"Not too bad."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
"You just grabbed it too hard Kev, it's really not that bad."
"I'm still sorry."
"Don't be."
...
"Hey Arnold. So kind of you to break down the door like that."
"Sorry but you guys ran up here pretty quick. Momentum you know? Hey Connor, are you okay? I saw you and that guy back there, looked like he was bothering you…"
"Nothing happened-"
"Fuck 'nothing happened'! Something did-"
"I'm fine Arnold."
"If you're so fine, why does Kevin look like he's going to murder someone?"
"I will murder someone."
"No you won't. I don't have the money to bail you out."
"Connor, what happened? Why does Kevin want to kill that guy? Did he say something? What did he say? Tell me!"
"You don't have to answer him."
"Like I said, I'm fine. He said that 'faggots like me don't deserve to live' and that he 'hoped God would have mercy on my soul.' Among other things."
"I'm gonna fucking kill that bastard!"
"He said that?"
"Yup. And then we left."
"Yeah, I saw that… how's your arm?"
"It's fine. You have a killer grip Kevin."
"It was an accident! I'm so sorry."
"Stop apologizing for it."
"It was that grip that kept me from going after that little-"
"Kevin, I'm fine, everything's fine. Just drop it okay? Let's just pretend that it never happened."
"Yeah, you're right."
"And besides, I've seen worse."
"You what?"
A/N: Discrimination based on sexual preference makes me sick. I'll post another, happier chapter later tonight because I don't want to end today on such a depressing note.
Read and review!
