Vash was attempting to detach Meryl who was still clutching his arm, and bragging about her father's latest trial. "Yeah, funny thing, those insurance claims eh? "He said, nonchalantly. They turned a corner, and saw a large blob of yelling students. Millie's voice was heard, so Vash ran over. He pushed his way through the crowd, figuring he'd see his "Rebel" Brother, getting his ass kicked by an upper-classman.

What Vash found made his gag reflex work.

After bursting into the crowd, Vash took one look and gasped. His friend, and bandmante Midvalley, catching the brunt of high school homophobia. Nick looked at Vash, terrified. Vash could feel his heart beat, so loud, fast, and heavy feeling, he was sure the whole school could hear it. Midvalley was curled up, quivering against the wall.

Legato Blinked. What the hell is this? Hw watched knives, The boy hadn't moved since the door knob busting off, He was staring right at legato. "Um?" Knives grinned and leaned forward. Legato had all he could do but kiss him, so in a pseduo sane moment, he shot him his trademark icy glare. "What do you think you're doing?" Defenses up... Knives backed up. "Well, I was about to share a piece of information, but if you're not interested..." "Well, I'm not." "Bluesummers, I like you." WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!!?!? HE ----? "Scuse me ? " "Look, Hear me out." Legato rolled his eyes. "Legato, You and I are two of the most feared and respected people in our class. Hell Maybe even this whole high school. You, and I, Should take this whole socialitical establishment down." Legato mulled this over in his brain....Holy shit, Me and knives, fucking millions knives, taking this human breeding ground down......"Well Millions, if it weren't fore that pathetic human bitch we wouldn't be having this conversation, or even considering any of that."

Vash made his way over to Nicholas. Nick had the utmost pained look on his face. Brittany was standing in the center, still being cheered on by the mob. Midvalley'd just been hit with another round of air-born text books. He cried out "Someone save me..." He pulled his face from the wall, and searched the crowd for a familiar face. Nick stood there, blurred in his vision, but still the guy that was causing him this anguish...He looked paler than the wall he'd been leaning against. Vash Grimaced. "STOP THAT!!!" He yelled, something in side of him was taking over.

"Oooooh, If it isn't Vash Savrem," "She began "Saving the gay, I mean, Day?"

Nick sighed I cant deal with this... He looked Back to Vash. Shaking his head, he slowly made his way out of the crowd, not even looking back.

Vash looked around. Brittany glared at him. He looked at Midvalley, and knelt beside him. "You ok man?" Vash whispered. Midvalley whimpered in response, and allowed Vash to help him up. Once on their feet, With Vash supporting Midvalley, arm around waist, The two bandmates faced the dwindling crowd.

Millie Stepped fourth, and slapped Brittany from behind. "You should be ashamed of yourself" She yelled. Brittany smirked, "Why would you care anyways Thompson?" Millie glared Back "You hurt knives!!" Brittany laughed, "Catch you two fags later..." And she lead the group away.

Behind the group stood a teacher. Mr. Donovan. "Well, Well, Well, Three students for a half day suspension, and a Friday detention." "But sir we.." Vash Reasoned. "I've heard enough out of you...I know your brother's trouble mister, It seems to run in the blood." "Sir..." "So, Let's see, who we have here." He pulled out a small note pad and began to write as he spoke. " We have a Mr. Vash Severe, Your brother might be joining you, He's been skipping classes already..." e paused to look up at Vash, who was looking concernedly at Midvalley. "And You, look like a Thompson, You'd be one of the younger ones...." He paused as if thinking hard. "Millicent?" "Yes sir." He Smiled, "Where's that no good boyfriend of yours, That druggie Wolfwood, I'm sure he's the root of this fight.' Midvalley almost fell over...." And you, Ahh, yes, Mr. Salino, The transfer student. I don't know where you came from, but If you keep up this behavior, You'll be out of here soon." He turned and began to walk away. " Be out of here by noon, your parents will be notified, and you are to report for four hours of detention on this Friday afternoon." He walked halfway down the hall. "One more thing, Mr. Salino, And Mr.Saverem, There are NO Public displays of affection allowed on school premises. Even if there were, you both would probably get the shit beaten out of your asses..."

Legato sighed. "So, What do you want from me?" "I Want..." I want us... "I want you and I to" HOLY SHIT KNIVES!!!! Your thinking about a guy.......like that....."To?" "To, be friends."

Legato snorted at that. "You want..." You....really do......want......me? "my companionship," He put on a sarcastic falsetto tone "Ohh, Millions Knives wants to be my friend!!!" He rolled his eyes. Knives replied rather timidly, "Well, It's just that, you and I have allot in common, and you don't really seem to have allot of freinds.You seem like you have mainly followers." "I'd never want to be friends with your type of people knives, I'm sorry." Knives stood up and extended his hand. "So, I'll leave them, They were to manufactured for me. So, What do you say, want to help me turn this place into our school instead of theirs? " Legato sighed again. He's so cute when he smiles...

Just then the door opened. Nick looked at the two confused. "I'm not even going to ask." he said. the two of them stepped out of the closet. Nick pulled a small joint out of his pocket and lit it. "you ok?" Knives asked. "Don't wanna talk about it." he replied, taking a hit.

Mille lead the way into the girl's bathroom, and locked the door. "I don't like, him very much he's just MEAN!!!" Millie watched, as Vash looked the saddest he'd she'd ever see him. He was looking at Midvalley. "Shit.." she muttered. Midvalley was leaning against the wall. "I'm....." He began...Vash Stared downwards, arms crossed. Millie looked over at Midvalley. He had a bloody nose, his lip looked like it was bleeding, Scratches, cuts and bruises littered his arms legs and back. To make things worse he still had the "f" Word eyelinered across his fore head. "Middie," Vash started...My god, my heart's breaking.....Shit I could just start bawling..... "Do you need a hug?" What the hell? Midvalley looked up, at the taller boy, and in that light he looked like an angel. Midvalley swallowed a mouthful of blood. "I'm....all bloody, you don't want...." Vash felt his heart breaking again. " Yeah, I do...." And with that Vash Hugged Midvalley the tightest he'd ever hugged anyone before.
