Project: hair cut

"AHHHHHH!" Screamed Matthew. "NOOOOOO! LET ME GO! DON'T TOUCH ME! STOP! PLEASE LET ME GO!"

Roderich and Francis held his arms down while Feliciano was attempting to apply some concealer to Matthew's face. "Ve, but you can't go to school like that." Said Feliciano.

"Your cloths are okay." Said Francis. "But we need to work on your face! If we trim your eyebrows and put on a bit if concealer it won't look so bad."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Screamed Matthew. "IT'S ITCHY! IT MAKES MY FACE BURN AND BRAKE OUT IN HIVES!"

"Shut up and put on some make up!" Growled Francis.

"I'm going to brush away your hair okay Matthew?" Said Roderich. He brushed Matthew's fringe away to reveal his face. Three seconds later Matthew got a violent nose bleed and fell to the ground unconscious.

"MATTHEW!" Cried Feliciano. "Ve what's wrong with him?"

Gilbert sighed. "Just leave him alone. It doesn't matter what we say. He doesn't want to change."

"But what about the rent?" Asked Francis.

"We have to do something!" Cried Feliciano.

Roderich sighed. "We're going to be late for school."

"Fine..." Said Francis. "Where did Matthew go?"

While all the commotion was going on Matthew had regained consciousness and snuck back into his room to change his hoodie (Because it was covered in blood thanks to Roderich).

"I don't want to change." He growled. "I like being this way. I'm happy this way." He pulled on a black hoodie with a white maple leaf on it. "If I have to look at those creatures of the light again I'll melt... I'll go blind!"

XoXoXo at school oXoXoX

Francis, Feliciano, Gilbert and Roderich walked into school together. There were immediate squeals and shouts from all the girls and soon they began to whisper.

"OMG! All four of them came to school together!"

"No way!"

"I wish I could live with them for a day! That would be paradise!"

"I'd sneak into Francis's bed at night!"

"I'd take a siesta right next to Feliciano!"

"I'd spy on Roderich in the bath!"

"I'd put hand cuffs on Gilbert!"

"In my dreams! I can't even work up the courage to talk to Gilbert."

"Then trade places with me." Said Matthew.

"Did you say something?" Asked a girl.

"No." Said another girl.

Matthew shook his head and walked off to his homeroom. Hopefully no one would bother him and maybe he wouldn't be in any of the same classes as those creatures of the light. He sat at a desk up the back and waited for class to start.

Soon everyone was inside and the teacher came in. He called Matthew up the front and introduced him. "So this is Matthew Williams our new transfer student from Canada. Please make him feel welcome." Some of the students began to whisper.

"Is that even a real person?"

"He's so scary."

"No wonder he transferred. He's such a freak."

XoXoXo later that day in the science store room oXoXoX

Matthew sighed contently as he held a preserved frog in a jar. The science store room was pitch black and full of the things he loved; anatomical dolls, skeletons and preserved things in jars. It was just like his room.

"I like school." He said. "Not one of those creatures is in my class, I can come in here during lunch, the library has lots of the scary books I like and the best thing is that everyone leaves me alone!"

He put down the frog and took a bite of cookie and sighed. It was so perfect. School was his one escape from the others. Just thinking about them made him shudder.

XoXoXo after school oXoXoX

"Did you hear the rumours going around?" Asked Francis. "Apparently there was a ghost in the science store room."

"Ve. I heard it was in the library." Said Feliciano.

Gilbert laughed. "I bet they just saw Matthew. Remember we thought he was a ghost when we first saw him."

"True." Said Roderich. Matthew walked past them with his usual dark aura hanging around. "Oh Matthew I got you something." He passed Matthew a bottle of lotion. "It's for sensitive skin." He explained. "It'll make the itching go away. Then we can cut your fringe."

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Screamed Matthew as he ran for his life.

"Damn he ran away." Grumbled Roderich.

"He doesn't even realize he's the reason everyone at school's convinced that there's a ghost around." Said Francis. "He's so clueless."

"Then just leave him alone." Said Gilbert. "Seriously you guys are so annoying sometimes."

While they were talking Matthew was in his room rubbing some of the lotion on his face. 'Why won't they just leave me alone?' He thought. 'Though I am grateful for the lotion. But the only reason I'm itchy was because they put make up on me... Maybe I was a little itchy before too.'

XoXoXo the next day oXoXoX

"Turn this way and lift your fringe!" Said a boy.

Matthew tilted his head in confusion. "Huh?"

"I'm slasher360." Said the boy. He was about average height had blazing blue eyes and flaming red hair. "I'm from the school newspaper. What do you think about the Matthew Williams derby?"

"The Matthew Williams what?" Asked Matthew.

"You see..." Said slasher360. "We've all decided that you're the person responsible for these strange phenomenon's that are happening around the school."

"Strange phenomenon?"

"That's right! So a bunch of guys contributed $50 and we ended up with quite a sum. I call it... THE MATTHEW WILLIAMS DERBY!" Stated slasher360. "Get a clear picture of his face and win $1,000. In other words the first person to get a picture of your face..."

"Hey it's Matthew!" Called a guy with a camera.

"NOOOO!" Screamed Matthew as he ran for his life.

He spent the rest of the day hiding 'Why? What did I do? I just want to live alone by myself!'

During the middle of lunch Feliciano, Gilbert Francis and Roderich found Matthew hiding on the roof. "Why don't you just cut your hair?" Asked Feliciano.

"NO!" Screamed Matthew. This caused Feliciano to tear up and cry.

"At least tell us why you won't cut your fringe." Said Francis.

"No." Said Matthew.

"Tell me." Said Gilbert.

"No." Said Matthew.

"Tell me." Said Gilbert.

"No." Said Matthew.

"FUCKING TELL ME YOU PRICK!" Yelled Gilbert.

"NO MEANS NO DIP SHIT!" Yelled Matthew. "Besides you wouldn't understand..."

Gilbert grabbed Matthew's fringe and held a pair of scissors to it. "5... 4... 3..."

"I SAID YOU WOLDN'T UNDERSTAND!" Shrieked Matthew.

"2... 1..."

"FINE... I'll tell you..." Matthew sighed in defeat. "Two years ago... This guy I really liked called my ugly."

"And?" Asked Roderich.

"..."

"THAT'S IT?" Yelled Gilbert.

"That's really stupid." Said Feliciano.

"That's really dumb." Said Roderich.

"Are you stupid?" Asked Francis.

"That's why I said you wouldn't understand!" Cried Matthew. "Before I would go on diets, worry about pimples and what I wore. Just like everyone else." He looked down at his feet. "... but then He said 'I hate ugly boys', so I figured if I was ugly anyway why should I bother. I was just wasting my time. I gave up worrying about my looks and decided to grow a fringe. I thought if my fringe was long I wouldn't have to compare myself to all the beautiful people in this world. And once I tried it... It was so much fun."

The boys just looked at Matthew with disbelief as he giggled and walked away from them. He was probably going to hide somewhere else in case the people in the derby found him.

"So he used to be normal." Said Francis. "If I'd known that I would have done him by now."

"I don't get it." Said Gilbert. "It was just one guy."

"But that just shows how much Matthew loved him!" Said Feliciano.

"I can't believe a guy would say that." Said Roderich.

"Only an ugly guy would call someone else ugly." Said Francis.

"Yeah!" Said Feliciano. "I bet he's an ugly loser who thinks he's really hot."

"You two are so mean." Said Roderich.

XoXoXo five minutes before class oXoXoX

"He's over there!"

"NOOOOOOO!"

A bunch of girls was watching the whole thing unfold. "The guys are really into that." Said one girl.

"$1,000 dose sound tempting." Said another girl. "But why are they so desperate to see his face?"

Matthew ran past them and tripped over. 'I fucking hate this... Why does this have to happen to me?'

"There he is!" Yelled someone. Matthew swore and started to run again. He kept on running until he came to a fork in the road. He couldn't turn around because the people in the Matthew Williams derby were behind him. He couldn't turn left because his path was blocked by a group of girls and he couldn't turn right because Gilbert was standing there talking with Francis who was holding a large sheet of white fabric for some reason. Matthew was trapped.

Gilbert looked up at Matthew. Suddenly he grabbed the fabric from Francis wrapped it around Matthew and pulled him close to his chest. "FUCK OFF! Stop playing this stupid game! You'll better tell me who started this stupid derby because I'm going to kill him!"

Francis beamed. He was so proud of Gilbert. "Go take Matthew home." Gilbert nodded and picked up Matthew and took him out of there.

The girls just stood there in awe. "He's... He's hugging him..." Said a girl.

"He never even said hello to me!"

Suddenly all the girls shared one unanimous thought 'PREPARE TO DIE MATTHEW WILLIAMS!'. The yaoi fangirls in the school had a similar thought but it was more like this 'WHO'S THE UKE?'

XoXoXo while Gilbert was carrying Matthew home oXoXoX

Matthew was panicking in his head. 'I'm going to melt! No I am melting! But... why does it feel so comforting? He's slim but his arms are so strong... He's so big and warm...'

Gilbert pressed his hand against Matthew's forehead. "Are you okay? You're soaked in sweat." Matthew screamed. Blood shot out his nose and he fainted. "HOLY CRAP! WHAT THE HELL?"

Gilbert sighed and continued to walk home with Matthew in his arms. Later that night Matthew served up dinner to everyone. "I'm not going back to school." Said Matthew. "Not until the derby is over."

"NO!" Cried Feliciano. "You have to go back to school!"

"If you don't you'll become even more isolated from the world." Said Francis.

Roderich took a sip of tea. "You shouldn't worry about the derby anymore. Gilbert beat up all the organizers, they'll be in hospital for a week so you're safe."

"Gilbert's the toughest guy in school." Said Feliciano.

"Surprised that people haven't taken restraining orders out on him yet." Said Francis.

"Shut up." Said Gilbert.

"But... but... I can't!" Said Matthew.

"If you stay home..." Said Gilbert. "I'll cut your fringe off while you sleep."

"Shut up Gilbert." Snapped Roderich. "Look Matthew... if you're happy with the way you look we won't bother trying to change you."

"That's right." Said Feliciano. "Maybe we've been a little too hard on you about cutting you're fringe."

"Thank you." Said Matthew.

Gilbert sighed and picked up a pair of scissors. "But wouldn't life be easier if you cut your fringe?"

"Shut up Gilbert." Hissed Roderich.

"But come on Roddy." Said Gilbert. "Matthew can't live like that forever."

Matthew tilted his head in confusion. 'Why would life be easier if I cut my fringe? That's just ridiculous.'

XoXoXo the next day at school oXoXoX

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief. No one was chasing him or trying to take his photo again. Gilbert's message had gone across. It was nice. He calmly walked down the hall towards the science store room. His sanctuary away from home. He was about to open the door when someone called out to him.

"Hey Matthew?" Asked a girl so sweetly. "Could you please come with us for a bit?"

As Matthew was led away by the girls Gilbert happened to be looking out the window. "What the hell is Birdie doing with those weirdos?" He got up and stretched. "May as well go and see what's going on."

The girls led Matthew behind the gym and cornered him. And they started to verbally attack him. "You got all the boys chasing after you and you act totally stuck up!" Snapped one girl.

"Stop hiding your face on purpose so you stand out!" Snapped another.

"Wait... I stand out?" Asked Matthew in shock.

"Of course you do." Said some other girl. "Even though you're ugly." She pulled out a pair of scissors. "So we're going to make sure you don't stand out anymore. Grab him girls!"

Two girls grabbed Matthew's arms and held him tight. "Hurry up!" Cried one of them. "He's so scary!"

"Oi you guys want that $1,000 come out here now." Said a girl. Suddenly a group of boys jumped up with their cameras in hand. Ready to photo Matthew's face.

The truth of the matter was neither of them really needed to hold Matthew. His mind was in turmoil at what they had said to him. 'I stand out? I stand out? But I thought... I thought I didn't... I thought I didn't! How can this be? I stand out!'

"What is this? A lynch mob? What the hell are you doing to Matthew?" Asked Gilbert. He had shown up just in time to see a girl about to cut Matthew's fringe.

"OMG!" Cried the girls in joy. "It's Gilbert!"

The girl with scissors in her hands ran to Gilbert's side and started waving her arms around. "You don't understand!" She cried. "Those guys who want the $1,000 made me to do it! Please believe me!" She was waving the scissors around so much she accidently cut Gilbert's face.

Everyone gasped. "What have you done?" They cried. "You should apologise by killing yourself!"

"It's no big deal." Muttered Gilbert.

While this was happening no one was paying attention to Matthew. He had fallen to the ground and was looking up at Gilbert's face. There was a definite red mark where he had been cut. He looked at the girl with the scissors and something inside the Canadian snapped.

He jumped up and delivered a flying kick to her face. He turned to the guys with their cameras and smiled sadistically. He grabbed them by the front of their shirt and beat the crap out of them. Then he beat the shit out of everyone else that happened to be there like it was nothing.

Gilbert stood there open mouthed. "That... is so cool."

Feliciano, Francis and Roderich suddenly appeared. They had seen Gilbert walk off down to the gym so they decided to follow. Feliciano gasped. "He's even stronger than Gilbert."

"That's a scary thought..." Said Francis.

Once everyone was beaten to a pulp and left in a pool of their own blood Matthew picked up the scissors that had been dropped during the fight and cut off his fringe.

"How' that?" He Asked. "Now I don't stand out anymore!" He dropped the scissors and pointed to the girls and the people after the $1,000. "You and you had better apologise to that creature of the light right now or I'll kick your ass again!"

"Creature of the light?" Questioned Gilbert.

"How human of you Matthew." Said Feliciano.

Matthew looked over at the four boys, got a violent nose bleed and fainted. "Not again..." Groaned Roderich.

Gilbert smiled and grabbed Matthew by the back of his hoodie. "Let's go home." So Feliciano, Francis and Roderich happily followed Gilbert who was still dragging Matthew.

"Wait!" Called a girl. "Why are all of you...?"

They all turned to the group of beaten girls and said. "We all live together."

"... WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?"

XoXoXo at the school gate oXoXoX

Matthew regained consciousness and the reality of his situation finally sunk in. Matthew screamed and fell to the ground. He started to pull grass out of the ground and attempted to stick it on his head. "MY FRINGE! MY SHIELD! I CUT IT! I NEED A HAT! WHERE'S MY CURTAIN? I NEED MY SUNGLASSES!" He began to cry. "Two years... Two years... I've been hiding my face for two years... How am I going to live now...?"

Gilbert rolled his eyes. "Like you did before idiot." Matthew looked up at him and sniffed. "Before you were kicking ass and looking so cool and now... how lame."

"That's right!" Cried Francis. "Look your skin has gotten so smooth and your acne is clearing up... but you still have bags under your eyes... At least I can look at you now without feeling sick."

"And when you brush your hair..." Said Roderich. "It looks so smooth and silky. Like fine strands of silk."

"And you have very pretty and really, really, really blood shot eyes. I'm not afraid to look at you anymore ve." Said Feliciano.

"And we promise..." They all said together. "We won't let anyone call you ugly ever again Matthew."

"And if someone dose..." Said Francis. "We'll just get Gilbert to beat them up."

"Hey!"

"Let Matthew's journey to turn into a young gentle man begin!" Cheered Feliciano happily. Everyone else cheered too. Suddenly Matthew spontaneously fainted.

"First we need to get him used to the mortal world..." Sighed Gilbert.
