It's almost over. I'll write another one though.
Banner sat on his bed in the Slifer Red dorm. He had just told his lover, Chazz, his big secret. Now, he was paying the price. How could he think Chazz wouldn't freak out? How could he think he would just accept the fact he wasn't human?
"I don't deserve you, beloved. You need someone better than me." Banner said through his tears.
His hair covered his face as he covered his body with his large quilt. He buried his face in his pillow to muffle the sobs. The Slifer Red dorm's walls were paper thin and anyone listening closely could hear him. He thought about Chazz. He couldn't stop. It seemed like it shouldn't be any different. Even before all this, he always thought about Chazz. That was how his hair turned pink in the first place. It was different though. It was very different.
Before, when Banner thought about Chazz it was out of love and waiting for the end of the day so he could see him. He thought about him like a child thought about their new puppy. All he wanted was to be with him. He was happy to think about him all the time. Now, when he thought about Chazz, it was sorrowful. His heart filled with sadness at the thought of his student. He had broken Chazz's heart and in the process destroyed their beautiful relationship.
He wondered where Chazz was now. Was he sitting on his bed crying like he was? Was he out and about trying to forget him? Was he saying how much he hated this non-human liar?
Banner couldn't stop the cry that came from his throat as he thought that. What if Chazz really did hate him? What if the one man he loved the most decided that he wanted nothing to do with him? Banner gave a sad sigh.
"Just because I'm not human doesn't mean I can't kill myself." He whispered.
He sobbed loudly into his pillow, his mind filled with thoughts of Chazz. If Chazz didn't love him anymore, he would simply die.
"Professor Banner?"
Banner heard his name and sat upright. He looked in the door and saw Jaden and Syrus standing there. They looked at him with concern filling their youthful faces.
"What's wrong, Professor? Is everything ok?" Jaden asked. He walked in as Syrus shut the door behind them.
Banner shook his head. He pushed his hair out of his face and wondered where his ponytail went. He looked at his two students and knew it was useless to try and play off he was ok.
"I got someone I cared about really mad at me. They're so angry and I don't know if they care about me anymore." He said to them.
Jaden and Syrus sat on the edge of bed and looked at their teacher.
"I'm sorry, Professor. But I can tell you now, that person still cares about you." Jaden said.
Banner stared at the young boy and felt like laughing. He didn't know it was Chazz he was talking about. Chazz didn't forgive that easily.
"What makes you think they still care about me?" he asked.
Jaden smiled widely. "Because, no one stops caring about someone that quickly! It takes a while. You still have time, Professor. Try talking to them some more. Though they may be mad at you it doesn't mean that they don't love you."
Banner listened to Jaden and realized that he may be right. Jaden wasn't his smartest student; he was impulsive, careless, and silly. But, hidden under all that was some wisdom.
"You're a good kid, Jaden. Thank you." He said.
"Anytime!" Jaden answered.
"Things will work out fine. Don't worry about a thing. Go talk to your friend and try to make up." Syrus said.
Banner nodded as they walked out. It was amazing how those two instantly made him feel better. Maybe, things really would work out.
How was that? I hope you liked it.
