POV CHANGE TO THIRD FOR THIS ONE MAGICAL TIME

Mr. Chair stared up at the off-colored version of Stephano. He looked so scary, and Mr. Chair wanted so badly to just…

"Chair-Mode activate! Boop!" He involuntarily squeaked out, falling into the natural chair position.

"Wow, Stephano, got a real tough one here, eh?"

"Shut the hell up, Gonzalez!"

Mr. Chair couldn't help but stare at the two identical statues, apart from color. The one he knew was Stephano looked banged up, like he had been getting abused.

He punched the other statue, a loud pang emitting. The other, who was assumed to be Gonzalez, turned around and knocked Stephano to the ground with a punch in the jaw.

"Mr. Chair! Get out of here!" Stephano pleaded, Gonzalez giving him a kick to the side. "G-get out of chair mode! L-leave!"

Mr. Chair was so scared, he tried, with all his might. He couldn't stand it. Fear still ran through him, but seeing Stephano still looking at him pleadingly despite being beat made him pretty angry.

His body went numb, and before he knew it, he had tried to punch Gonzalez in the back. He was thrown into the open door, now feeling the pain in his body now.

"Listen here, idiot. I came to torment my brother, and I guess since you're a package deal, you too. You're going to regret-"

"Woah, woah! Gonzalez?"

Mr. Chair relaxed, Pewdie was here.

"Fuck…" He groaned.

"What did I tell you when Stephano enrolled?" The Swede glared.

"To not come on campus due to my records." The statue groaned.

"So get off!"

The bronze statue rolled his eyes and stormed past the Swede. He walked in and he observed the situation. He called for nurses and Gabriel cause that guy sometimes gives out free candy.

Stephano and Mr. Chair ended up in the small hospital area of the school, their beds next to each other.

It was a few hours until things cleared up, and Mr. Chair broke the silence.

"Thank you, for trying to protect me." He said softly.

"Non… Thanks for trying to help me. I know it ueh… It takes a lot for you to break chair-mode." The statue smiled, turning his head to look over to the other boy.

"Why didn't you tell me about him?" Mr. Chair asked, frowning again.

Stephano was silent, and mulled over possible ways to answer without rambling.

"Um, he's my brother. I thought coming to a school like this would keep him away from me. I guess the rules didn't matter to him." Stephano sighed. "He never did like me all that much."

"Stephano, that doesn't answer my question, why is he someone that you hide from me?"

Stephano sighed. "It's a long story, okay? I'll tell you another time. I promise. But right now, I really don't want to think about it."

Mr. Chair didn't really want to push him, so he just let it be. He turned to look at the ceiling, frowning. He couldn't help but wonder why Stephano would keep anything from him. Mr. Chair is basically and open book, Stephano knows everything.

It's common knowledge that the statue is not as open as Mr. Chair is, but they're dating. Shouldn't he have a right to know this kind of thing?

Stephano is brushing it off as nothing, but in reality, an abusive brother that will go to near-extreme lengths just to hurt you is a little bit concerning.

Just about enough to maybe' want to tell his own boyfriend about it?

Yeah, seems about right.

Tears brimmed in his brown eyes, he didn't know why. He was just too stressed with this whole thing.

Maybe' he just isn't made for a relationship?
