A/N: Hi lovelies! I'm back! This chapter took awhile because I had school and life just generally knocking me in the head. But I'm finally back. I have to say that I was listening to a lot of Panic! At the Disco, Demi Lovato and even some Ashlee Simpson and that inspired this chapter.

Anywho, I just want to thank you all for reading/following/favoriting/and reviewing. It really makes my day and I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate it.

I want to give .SP a mention because I enjoy our talks. :D

Special thanks to my beta Harmony Valenka Smith and my friend/beta theAbelo2 or Abel, for helping me with this chapter and being the burning light that keeps me writing whenever it's too dark. And I also want to give a shout out to the Looney Slash Community for being so great and having me be a part of it.

I hope you all like this chapter as, like always, I put my heart and soul into it. Also, if you want to see Bugs and Daffy do more tutoring sessions, let me know and I'll integrate them into future chapters, heck if there is anything in this story that you'd like to see more of or would like to see then let me know. I'd love to hear your ideas. Thanks.


Two Worlds Collide

But who could love me?

I am out of my mind.

– 'She Had the World' Panic At the Disco


Daffy found himself sitting in the Chandler's huge living room, trying his best not to have a heart attack. His anxiety had been with him all day, pooling under the surface but not noticeable enough to become a distraction, until now, where it felt as if he couldn't keep any of it in.

He took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes, but that didn't help. Of course, Daffy knew what was making him so nervous; he was in the Chandler house, with the expensive furniture that cost more than his mom and dad's lifetime salary combined, where the boys with the cerulean eyes and the sinful smiles lived, and where he always told himself he'd never step foot in, but was now chewing on his words.

He took another deep breath and tried to think about what the Chandlers were probably doing at this moment. He had agreed to arrive before them as it was either that or drive in Ace's Volvo with both he and Bugs sitting just a few inches from him, and to Daffy there was nothing worse than sitting in a car for any amount of time, alone with the Chandlers. It just seemed like it would be a really painful time. Now, Daffy felt like kicking himself, because sitting in their house, with their parents right upstairs, waiting to tutor the impossible Chandler twin was way more uncomfortable than a half an hour drive with the twins.

Daffy contemplated taking out One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to read while he waited for the twins to return from their respective after-school activities: Ace's football practice and Bugs'…well Daffy honestly didn't know what Bugs did outside of his garage band.

It was so weird how much a mystery Bugs was, sure the Chandlers always lived their lives in the spotlight so to speak, but so much of their lives were secret and kept under wraps, there was so much that Daffy didn't know and so much he was too timid to find out…

For the thousandth time that day, he was considering his lack of preparation for tutoring the dark lord of Evil and contemplating escaping through the back door when he heard the sound of someone pulling up in the Chandler driveway.

Daffy swallowed – there was no room to back out now…

Ace was the first to walk in - or really burst in as there was no finesse put into his entrance - and his open sky eyes lit up when they saw Daffy. The younger teen gave a shy smile in greeting before it was wiped from his face when he saw Bugs' iceberg ones staring at him in that dark way that made his pulse race.

Daffy quickly stood up to greet the twins properly. He leaned in to shake Ace's hand which he figured was customary for guys to do, but was surprised by Ace turning down his hand in favor of pulling him in for a giant bear hug.

The embrace was warm and comforting, but Daffy was so thrown off by it that he was dazed briefly until Ace released him for Bugs to pull him away.

"This is where you guys are going to work," Ace began after they moved into another room. He motioned to the extravagant space the Chandlers used as a dining room. "If you need me I'll be upstairs, sleeping off this long ass day and maybe torturing Mom and Dad a little." He turned around to leave, before side-eying Bugs and whispering so low Daffy almost didn't catch it: "Don't kill him."

Daffy was pretty sure Ace meant that for Bugs, but like everything else in his life at this moment, he wasn't quite sure of anything.


One hour in and Daffy was half on his way to pulling his hair out; Bugs wasn't just difficult, he was a freaking nightmare. And it wasn't because the insufferable Chandler was incapable or unwilling to learn, in fact he proved that he had a good grasp on the material and had no problems answering some of the challenging questions, but after an hour of making startling progress, he took out his iPod and started listening to some type of loud, obnoxious rock music that set Daffy's teeth on edge.

And sure, Daffy was polite and respectful and was able to get him back to the matter at hand, but then Bugs started falling asleep at the table, and sure, Daffy could deal with that, after all in his remarkably short time tutoring students, he had to deal with both the disrespectful and disinterested Louise, so practicing his patience, he sat there and tried to guide Bugs back onto the right track.

And it started going smoothly until Bugs got upset.

It threw Daffy off-guard, all they were doing was reading a passage from their History textbook when Bugs suddenly swore.

"What is it? What's the matter?" Daffy inquired, thinking it was something about the homework that bothered the older teen.

"I can't do this anymore." Bugs admitted, closing the book with an audible thud.

Daffy frowned. "Look, I know the French revolution is a lot to take in but-"

"No, you don't understand. I can't have you tutoring me," He said, begging Daffy with his eyes. "This is wrong. This was a mistake."

Daffy felt his heart stop. Was Bugs actually rejecting him? What could he have done so wrong? Were they just incompatible? "I guess I d-don't understand."

"Then let me enlighten you. There's a reason I wanted you to tutor me, a reason I thought the alone time would be good for us."

"You just really suck at History?" Daffy asked hopefully.

Bugs smirked. "Not quite."

"Then why?"

"Because you think I'm something I'm not. I've lied to so many people, I don't want to lie to you too…well I don't want to lie to you anymore than I already have." Bugs sighed.

All Daffy could do was blink. He had no idea what to say so he settled for just staring at the other teen.

After a few seconds of silence, Bugs took the raven-haired teen's hand. "Can I take you somewhere?"

Daffy nodded. He wasn't sure what was happening and it wasn't like he trusted Bugs, but for some reason he agreed to follow the older teen, if only because his curiosity outweighed the fear.

They snuck out of the Chandler house quietly and into Ace's Volvo. After a few minutes of driving on the dark road, Daffy eventually figured they were heading back to the school.

He turned to face Bugs who was gripping the steering wheel tight with all his attention focused on the road before them.

"Bugs, if this is some plan to vandalize the school, I'm not going to join you. You can just turn this car around right now if you believe that I'm going to help you destroy-"

But the older teen's intense blue eyes pinned him with that icy stare that made Daffy's mouth run dry and he quickly shut up.

"It's not what you think. Believe me." There was a bitter edge to Bugs' words. Daffy waited, hoping for more of an explanation, but when he realized that no more would be said, he settled for just staring out the window.

They pulled up to the school parking lot after what felt like an eternity, though they couldn't have been driving for more than twenty minutes. Bugs hopped out of the car first before coming around to open the door for Daffy who was beginning to have second thoughts.

The school was obviously locked, after all it was pretty late, but the lights were still on. Daffy felt the unease in his stomach; if they got caught they could be suspended or even worse…expelled! But there was something about the certainty in Bugs, his lack of caution that was becoming contagious and soon Daffy was more confidently following Bugs as he led him to a side entrance behind the school.

The blue-eyed teen jiggled the handle of an ancient looking door. It creaked under his palm and with a push, it swung open revealing a dark passageway. The whole thing was creepy and weird, but Daffy followed Bugs anyways, like a bug attracted to light, feeling more intrigued with every step he took.

After a few moments of fumbling – Daffy wasn't the most graceful person especially when it came to walking around in the dark- Bugs took his hand in his and led him further down the passageway.

Bugs' hand was warm and a bit larger than his. It wrapped around his firmly and sent electric tingles up his arm. Daffy swallowed, and tried to focus on walking properly instead of the heat radiating from Bugs' palm.

The passageway was long, that was for sure. And while they walked, Daffy's mind got carried away. It was beginning to make him wonder if Bugs was leading him to some underground club where all the bad boys and bad girls hung out. Though it didn't make sense for him to bring Daffy who was about as nerdy as they come and would probably kill the fun. Daffy was about to stop walking and demand for Bugs to tell him what he was up to when Bugs suddenly halted his steps.

He flipped a switch and soon the passageway was illuminated by a watery glow. Daffy had to blink a few times to clear his vision.

A stairway faced them. Bugs wasted no time in climbing, still not letting go of Daffy's hand, he led the younger teen up the stairs slowly until they reached the top where the hallways of the high school faced them.

The raven-haired teen almost panicked; he was sure they'd be caught this time and if anyone saw him with Bugs, at this moment, the punishment would sure be serious. But Bugs just kept walking, unaware of Daffy's moral crisis.

Finally he stopped at the entrance of the cafeteria. To Daffy's increasing surprise, Bugs fished out a set of keys and opened the door, sidled in and motioned for Daffy to follow.

It was empty; there was no raving party kids, or rowdy football players, it was just the two of them, alone.

"What's going on?" Daffy inquired, somehow finding his voice.

Bugs smiled shyly, for the first time that Daffy had ever seen. "This is it, this is the part of my life I kept from you."

The younger teen was definitely confused. "What, that you like empty cafeterias, that you're a werewolf who enjoys the smell of bleach and disinfectant at nightfall, or do you just enjoy prowling the halls of high schools at night to appear mysterious or something?"

Bugs laughed. "It's none of those things, though I have to give you credit for your imagination. The truth is my dear Daffy, I am not the uncaring, callous bad boy you see before you. I am…" And he punctuated the words by doing his best Dark Knight pose. "Batman! No I'm just kidding, I actually work here sometimes during the weekends and at night as a janitor."

"Okay, haha you got me." Daffy rolled his eyes. Refusing to believe any of it.

Bugs frowned. "I'm serious."

"Okay, let's say that I buy it. Why do you work as a janitor? Aren't your parents filthy stinkin' rich? Am I supposed to believe that you're humble?"

Bugs smirked, unperturbed by Daffy's words. "Well, the thing is. It was my punishment for teepeeing the Principal's house. A bunch of my buddies and I got in trouble and were sent to help Tom, the custodian, clean the school or risk suspension. Once they did their time, my buddies quit and went back to being bad. As for me, well, let's just say I walk both sides of the tracks. I kind of like cleaning, it brings me peace. And I'm not ashamed of it. Ace knows, my family knows. Though Ace is the only one who supports it. I figured I'd tell you, since you seem like a genuinely nice guy."

Daffy considered this all for a moment, it made sense, technically. But then again, Bugs wasn't a walking pillar of honesty.

"So why'd you bring me here?" The younger teen asked, genuinely curious. "To change the way I perceive you?"

Bugs shrugged. "Maybe, I'm not too sure. I really didn't think this plan through, but I really like you…there's something that I want you to see."

Bugs took Daffy's hand and led them to the courtyard, which was dark save for the moonlight and stars above. Bugs' bright hair shone silver in the light and his beautiful eyes, seemed to glow. He let go of Daffy's hand to disappear and in his absence bright lights blinked to life and illuminated the entire space with radiance.

It took Daffy's breath away. He had never seen the school look like this before, as he always went home early, but now he was speechless. It reminded Daffy of Christmas and it brought warmth into his heart.

He didn't notice Bugs beside him until he heard his voice. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

All Daffy could do was nod.

"It's a perk of being friends with Tom; I kind of get to have this all to myself. And now I'm sharing it with you."

Daffy smiled. "Do you say this to all the other guys you bring up here?"

"No, you're the first one I've ever shared this with."

"Why are you interested in me anyways? I'm practically invisible. I mean, look at me." The younger teen rolled his eyes and stared at his shoes.

Bugs curved a finger under his chin and tilted Daffy's head up so that the younger teen had nowhere else to look but at the blue-eyed bad boy. "I am." After a beat, "Daffy?"

"Yes?"

"I want you to be the Bonnie to my Clyde." Bugs said with blazing sincerity.

Daffy blinked. "I can't."

"I meant it when I said that it won't work with you as my tutor, because there is no way in hell that I can sit with you for more than five minutes without wanting to kiss you."

"I can't." Daffy repeated.

"I know it's because I'm a Chandler and you don't want the extra attention—"

Daffy nodded frantically. "No, it's not that, well it is that but there's something else."

"Is it because I'm 'evil'? I can't really change that."

Daffy nodded. "Because you don't know me and you're not real. You're just one of the popular kids. You can't understand what it's like to be in my shoes."

"I want to know. My life isn't easy Daffy. I can't compare to Ace and I definitely don't meet my parents' expectations."

"You're not real. I don't know you past that mask you wear."

Bugs smirked, but his smile didn't touch his eyes. "What will it take for me to prove to you that I'm real?"

Daffy was about to answer when Bugs leaned in and whispered: "I'm just as human as you. And guess what. I see you, why can't you see me?"

When Daffy looked up, Bugs' lips were level with his. He knew he could get his heart broken, and that Bugs' world probably didn't have any room for him. The Chandlers were nothing but trouble after all, but he couldn't help himself. He leaned up and pressed his lips to the older teen's. Come what may.


A/N: Aaaaand the big reveal! To be honest, I can't help but make Bugs a little dorky and theatrical because I've realized, even though he's like my most favorite cartoon character ever, that he has these quirks that make him so...I don't know...him.

Hope you all like how this story's going so far. Please keep reading and stay safe out there!
