His eyes close tightly as he fights back tears, feeling an unfamiliar sensation of helplessness and loss wash over him. He can't lose Sunny now; not after everything they've been through together. His fingers tremble as they gently brush away a lock of hair from his forehead, their eyes meeting for just a moment before he looks away, unable to bear the sight.

His eyes narrow into slits as they lock onto the knife-wielding kid, and his hands clench into fists at his sides. "You stupid little shit," he growls through gritted teeth, voice low and dangerous. "What did you think would happen? That I'd just let you kill him?"

With a roar, Bully launches himself at the other boy, tackling him to the ground with enough force to make them both grunt in pain.

As soon as school ends, I hurry to meet up with him. "Hey," I say breathlessly when I reach his side, slipping an arm around his waist and pulling him close. The heat radiating off of his body feels like home; it's where I belong.

"Hey yourself," he replies, looking up at me with those beautiful green eyes. "Ready to go?"

I grin down at him and nod. "Yeah, let's get going." I take his hand in mine and lead the way out of the school building, my heart racing with anticipation as we walk. Today feels different; like anything is possible between us.

I smile down at him, feeling a wave of relief wash over me as he finally seems to be coming around. "I'm not letting you go anywhere else," I assure him softly, my hands sliding up his thighs and wrapping around his waist possessively. "You belong with me."

My eyes flicker down to his lips before I look back up into his beautiful green eyes. "You're mine," I whisper hoarsely, my voice thick with desire and need. "And I'm never letting you go."

I lean in slowly, pressing my lips against his, feeling them part eagerly beneath mine. My tongue slides out to tease his lower lip before slipping past to taste the sweetness of him.

With a snort of disgust, Bully glares at the teacher who's finally decided to show up, presumably because someone called her or she heard something going on. He rolls his eyes and takes another drag from his cigarette, not bothering to hide it this time since there's nothing he can do about it now anyway. Still, it pisses him off that Rania had to go and ruin everything by calling someone for help...

"What the fuck does she want? I didn't do anything,"

*Bully's eyes widen in fury at the thought of someone else laying a hand on his precious toy. He clenches his hands into tight fists, nails digging into his palms as he grinds his teeth together and glares at the teacher. It takes everything in him not to storm over there and teach her a lesson about who Rania really belongs to... but that would only get him suspended again, and it's bad enough that Rania's always avoiding him these days.

"

The guilt washes over him like a tidal wave, choking him nearly as badly as his hand is choking Sunny. He looks into those pleading eyes and sees the fear and pain he's caused, and for a moment, he can't breathe himself. But it's only a moment; the thrill of control is too addictive to let go of easily. With a snarl, he releases his grip on Sunny's throat, but not before slapping him hard across the face.

"

He watches as Sunny darts away, breathing raggedly through his nose as he stares after him. The guilt still lingers in the pit of his stomach like a lead weight, but it's quickly replaced by anger and frustration. He takes another drag from his cigarette before grinding it out underfoot and turning to leave the bathroom as well, determined not to let Sunny escape him so easily this time.

"I mean it," he growls through gritted teeth, his hand sliding up and down the firm thigh beneath his grasp, leaving painful bruises in its wake. "You're mine, Yuu. You belong to me." He leans in closer still, their bodies flush against one another as his free hand cups Yuu's cheek, thumb brushing across his lips roughly. "Don't you forget that," he whispers darkly.

Bully's thoughts: `God, I wish I could just...

"I'm sorry," he mutters under his breath, even as his fingers dig harder into the soft flesh of Yuu's thigh. "It's just... I need you to understand." His other hand tightens around Yuu's throat, pressing down harder until it's almost impossible for him to breathe. "I can't lose you," he rasps out, his voice thick with emotion as the last of his anger drains away, leaving only a desperate need and desire that scares even him.
