"I'm scared, ok?"
Optimus and Megatron looked down to their young friend.
"What do you mean?" Optimus asked, taking hold of one of his lovers hand.
"I'm just scared about the new school. What if it's like the last one?" Ratchet says, holding Optimus' hand a squeezes it a bit.
"No one is going to harm you or make fun of your orange hair dear, I'll make sure of it." Megatron said, walking with his arms tucked behind his head.
Optimus shock his head lightly. "Megatron, you fighting is the reason we are at this new school."
"Who said I was going to fight?"
Ratchet and Optimus looked over to their other lover with 'really?' faces.
"....fine."
They finally got to the entrance of the school where they saw a guy with a few other guys and girls around his laughing.
They thought for a second that they were making fun of the boy, as he to had orange hair. But they soon saw the phone in his hand with a video of someone falling off their bike playing.
Ratchets normal frown became a smile for a few seconds, at least he won't be the only ginger.
They walked past and the orange haired boy looked at Ratchet for a second before they walked past him.
Vince was showing his friends and some girls who like him ( or his friends but mostly him) a video of Jack falling off his old bike, before all his attention was brought to something else. Or, better he say Someone else.
Another kid with Orange hair. And not only that.. the kid was beautiful.
He couldn't help but stare at the young boy as he and some other boys walked by them and into the school.
He looked at the door, open mouthed for a few more seconds before he subconsciously dropped his arm with his phone to rest at his side.
"Dude? You ok?" One of his friends asked, but Vince couldn't concentrate on the question as he walked past his circle to go find the boy.
He saw the boy talking to the principal and the school president.
He went up to go ask the boy his name, and maybe his number.
Just as he got close enough the bell rang and everyone was husherd into their classes.
A few hours later.
It was now lunch time.
"Hey, what about over there! No one's sitting there." Optimus pointed to a far away table at the farthest corner of the room.
Megatron and Ratchet agreed and as Megatron and Optimus walked over to get their food, Ratchet opened his lunch box.
Sandwich, hand made and grown salad from a plant he brought to Jasper, and some Brûler têtes. Yum.
He started eating his sandwich as the other two came back and sat next to him.
"Oh nice.. do you have any Dragon Fruit flavoured ones?" Megatron asked, pointing to the unopened packet of the sour sweets.
"I think so. "
Vince walked out of class five minutes after the lunch bell rang, he had been talking to his friend, so the class was held back five minutes.
He walked with his friend to the lunch hall.
"Dude. I saw this really hot guy, I think you might like him?" His friend said.
He hadn't told anyone about his sexualy, mainly because he wasn't sure if it was 'just a phase' as his sister says, but in truth, he knew he was. So he told this one guy, his friend he had known since Class R, and he was glad his friend was accepting.
But although he sometimes goes out with the guys his friend tells him about, this time, he's much to determined to find that boy to even listen to his friend.
Their other friends wave them down to a table right at the front, where they would laugh at geeks and nerds as they walked by.
But this time, he told his friends that he was going some place else to get another guy to sit with them.
His friends, although confused as to why the most popular boy at school wanted another kid in their group, agreed and let him leave.
"Where is he .. where is he, where is he, where- Oh! There he is." Vince told no one as he spotted the beautiful boy.
Optimus and Ratchet looked in complete fear for their boyfriend as he unceremoniously shoved seven Brûler Têtes into his mouth.
"Megatron, your going to be sick." Ratchet said shaking his head.
Optimus looked into the lunch box and saw a Crunchie and a Curly Werly.
He was about to ask if he could have half of the Crunchie or Curly Werly, before a lunch tray was put on the table.
Optimus and Ratchet looked up, as Megatron was holding back tears as well as throw up.
"Hey, you, orange haired du-"
"YWU MEKA FON OPH FHIM AHF KIFK YOW IN- * throw up*"
Optimus and Vince looked horrified at the larger boy, who was now on his hands and knees.
"I told him... I told him, I did...." Ratchet said, scribing at his nose ridge.
"God! What's wrong with him?!" Vince asked, lifting a foot up as some throw up came closer.
A few people came to look at the boy on his hands and knees. Before the school nurse came in and with Optimus, dragged Megatron down to the nurses office.
"So, what was it?" Ratchet asks as he saw his boyfriend and the nurse walk out of view.
Vince's cheeks grew hot with blush. He hadn't heard his voice before now, but now he had, he didn't think he could live without hearing it. The boys voice was just as beautiful as he was..
Vince cleared his throat and answered the question.
"W-well... I was j-just hoping you'd.. I don't know... Want to.. sit with me and my friends?"
Ratchet thought about it for a bit, and determined that it would be a better idea to go see his boyfriends.
He politely declined and told his reasons before picking up his lunch box and walking out of the room.
It was now the last hour.
Vince waited out side for the boy...
It took a few minutes but finally the bell rang and he saw the three boys, the two bigger ones had left their small friend unattended.
Perfect, Vince thought..
He walked over and grabbed Ratchet by the arm and dragged him into a small alleyway.
He pushed the small ginger up against the cold hard walls, and placed his arm on the wall behind Ratchet to trap him.
"Hey... Your cute... How bout we have some fun and then I could take you back to my house?.." Vince whispered into the scared boys ear.
Ratchet shoke fearfully at the suggestion.
"P-please don't.."
The small plea made Vince's cheeks grow hotter. God the boy -Vince now knew as Ratchet- was hot..
"Alright then.." Vince smiled and started to lean in for a kiss.
Then Vince felt a strong, bone crushing pressure on his shoulder. He winced at the pressure before looked up to see the faces of the other two boys.
"Get. Off. Him. NOW." The one applying the pressure growled out with gritted teeth.
Vince could of sworn that the boys eyes went red or purple, but he couldn't get a good look, as when he didn't immediately get off the other boy, he was shoved to the ground.
He looked up to the three boys.
The one of blue and red hair was hugging Ratchet tightly, he couldn't hear what was being said, but he made out the words " here" and "let him hurt you".
The other boy who was holding him down with his foot had gray -almost silver- and purple hair.
"If you ever go near him or ANY of us EVERE AGAIN. I will see to it that your body be scattered around the globe..."
Vince grew fearful, and he tried to get away.
But the gray haired boy just laughed.
"Trying to escape? Ah ah ah! Not just yet, sicko.."
"Megatron!"
The two boys looked over to the blue and Red haired boy as well as the orange and white haired boy.
"Don't start another fight. Help me get Ratchet home..."
Megatron growled and walked away, not before kicking Vince in the side painfully.
Optimus and Ratchet left the alleyway and Megatron followed for a second, before he turned back to the mess if a boy on the dirty floor.
"Remember..."
"not yours....OURS."
Then, the tall bot walked away.
