Work Text:
Jude was sleeping in class, as always he didn’t care if he had a good or bad grade.
He spent most of his night awake anyway, plus it truly wasn’t his fault the lecture was so incredibly boring.
Then Jude heard a high pitched yelp, he almost immediately assumed it was one of the girls before he heard a body hitting the locker and a loud groan in pain as footsteps ran away.
Jude sat up straighter, trying to force the grogginess away as he listened again.
He could faintly hear voices, before another thud and what sounded like someone sliding down the locker as footsteps walked away.
Jude raised his hand immediately to go to the “bathroom” he walked so fast he almost tripped on a water bottle as he entered the warm hallway.
His eyes scanned around before landing on Parker on the ground, clutching his side with one hand as his other one held a dark red ribbon.
“Parker what the hell are you doing-? And is that sharpnesses ribbon?” Jude said, running to Parker’s side.
“Y-yeah.. tai dared me to go up behind sharpness and grab it.. I accidentally grabbed his hair and the ribbon.. I got the ribbon but he got pissed off-“ Parker said as he let out a crooked smile.
Jude sighed as he tried to help Parker up to go to the nurse, Parker immediately let out a groan in pain as he shook his head frantically at the pain.
Jude looked confused as he watched Parker, had sharpness done something else? Jude assumed he only shoved him in the locker.
“Why- didn’t he just shove you in the locker?” Jude said, genuinely curious as he gently let Parker back down.
Parker shook his head, lifting up the side of his shirt to expose a bruise that was obviously a hard punch.
“Oh my god- we need to tell a teacher or get you to the nurse!” Jude said as he looked around helplessly around the hallway.
“No use.. people had in the past- sharp always seems like to get out of trouble- I don’t even know how.. he just- does it” Parker explained as he clutched his side.
“I can- I can tell- no way he can just do that-! Plus my parents are top 3 in donations in this school-“ Jude explained helplessly as he motioned a teacher over.
“Way to rub it in..” Parker grumbled as the teacher walked closer, gasping loudly before radioing for a nurse.
“Who did this to him?” The teacher asked as she bent over to examine the injures.
“It was sharpness- he shoved him in the locker-“ Jude said, thinking sharp may actually get in trouble for once.
The teachers eyes widened before she forced on a fake smile. “I’m sure he didn’t mean to, probably had a bad day. It’s best to let him be” the teacher explained as she waited for the nurse.
“What!? He gets a free pass because of a bad day-? Why does he never get in trouble?!” Jude said angrily, not even he can convince the teachers as he watched her smile falter before she looked away.
“I’ll speak to Mr Conexion about this issue.” She said as the nurse finally arrived, she turned to jude fully.
“Mr Conexion? As in his dad-?” Jude said, excitedly. Maybe he would actually get in trouble for this.
She sighed as she looked at the nurse, both having a whole conversation in one glance.
“Maybe, we can’t just guess- plus sharpness may have a bad day and just needs time.” She explained.
“Bad day-? Bad day my ass! What do you mean he gets a pass like some toddler-!” Jude said- frustration bubbling over.
“Do not use that language with me sir! Go to your class!” She said as she turned away.
Jude stomped angrily to his dorm instead, he didn’t even care anymore— just needed to scream in a pillow or something.
Just as Jude was gonna reach his door he heard yelling nearby, Jude couldn’t help himself but go over to see.
It was sharpness and a taller man, he looked pretty similar to sharp but with obvious differences at the same time,
He could immediately tell it was sharpness’s dad
Same blonde hair but dark brown eyes that narrowed in anger as he continued to yell at sharp. He wore a suit and his hand gestures obviously annoyed or frustrated. Jude finally started to pay attention to the conversation.
“You can’t just start fights over small dumb things! Do you realize what this does to our image?!” Sharpness dad explained loudly, looking down at sharp.
“People always pick on me because I look like a softie! It’s not my fault I get mad easily-“ sharp said, standing still even when his dad stepped closer.
“We put you in this school and even gave a fake last name. We are the number one donors here just so you don’t get in trouble and you’re overusing that!” Sharpness dad said, fists clenched.
“I didn’t ask for it-! What was wrong with the homeschool? I was completely fine until you put me in here!” Sharp said, gesturing to the school.
“Don’t you dare be ungrateful you little-“
Sharpness’s dad said, looking down at his son with anger and what seemed like disappointment.
“Everything was better until you and mom-“
Slap!
Sharpness fell deathly silent as his dad hit him. His face turned to the side at the impact as his hand shook slightly as he touched his face.
He brought his hand back to his view like he expected to see blood, then he brought his hand down. Both arms stiff on his sides.
“don’t you dare speak of your mother! Go to your dorm!” Sharpness’s dad yelled, pointing away to his dorm.
“Y-yes sir.” Sharpness said in a monotone tone as he turned away, looking completely different from the normal confident and cocky self.
Jude’s eyes widened as he walked sharps retreating figure as his dad walked away angrily.
Oh.
Sharp was like this because-
Jude shook his head, no. Sharp wouldn’t buy his pity from a fight with his dad, many people hit their kid, it was probably sharps first time getting hit from his father.
Right.?
Jude walked to his room, trying to ignore how his brain kept flashing images on how sharp suddenly turned obedient when he was slapped, or how his face flashed with fear when his dad raised his hand like it wasn’t the first time.
Jude groaned in frustration as he got up, pacing his room as he weighed his options.
He could go check up on sharp, look around for who his dad actually is.. or stay here and not do anything.
Jude threw on some clean clothes as he walked to sharps dorm, every step feeling heavy.
Jude approached sharps door, hesitating before knocking on it.
Sharp opened the door, the redness from the slap slightly obvious but he clearly put on some concealer, Jude looked past him to see some in front of the mirror before he looked up at sharp.
“Jude? What are you doing here-?” Sharp said, voice having a slightly monotone edge to it, sounding off with his accent.
“I wanted to check up on you! And why is your voice doing that?” Jude teased, forcing cheerfulness like it was his lifelong career.
“I’m kinda feeling sick, why don’t you go or something.” Sharp said, already closing the door slowly.
“Wait sharp- if you’re sick then someone has to take care of you!” Jude said, pushing past him even though sharp could beat him to a pulp if he wanted to.
“Jude- I’m fine-“ sharp started but Jude already gently pulled him on the bed, grabbing a towel and gently cleaning sharps face.
sharp pulled away in confusion, the concealer almost gone from his face, it was a red mark that looked off from his pale skin.
“Sharp-! Just stay-“ Jude said, leaning towards sharp as he lifted his chin to clean the rest of the makeup off.
Sharp was surprisingly obedient and silent, letting Jude do what he wanted.
“Sharp?” Jude said, he hated the way his voice softened without him realizing it.
“Mh?” Sharp said as he looked up at Jude, pink eyes meeting green for a moment.
“I- are you okay?” Jude asked hesitantly, still holding sharps chin making him look up, now Jude could see his red-rimmed eyes and how he must’ve been crying or something earlier.
There was a beat of silence before sharp nodded, trying to look away but Jude wouldn’t let him.
“I saw what happened..” Jude said, putting some of his weight on sharp so he couldn’t walk away from this conversation.
sharpness’s eyes widened before he mumbled a “what do you mean” it was so silent even Jude could barely hear it.
Jude stayed silent before he continued to clean sharps face, realizing he said too much.
“Jude.. what do you mean?” sharp said, looking up at Jude, he had something in his eyes, maybe relief that someone knew? Or perhaps fear that jude could tell everyone.
“Just stay still sharp” Jude said softy, he could see sharp way better now, his smooth skin and his sage green eyes that made Jude forget his train of thought, how his hair looked silky and soft that just made Jude wanna touch it.
Sharp stayed silent as he looked up at Jude, making Jude’s breath hitch softy at sharps slightly exposed neck.
Jude could feel the heat run up his neck to his cheeks, his mind suddenly racing with dirty thoughts before he shoved the thoughts away before he did something he would regret, he was supposed to help comfort sharp.. or just help himself sleep better not sleep with him!
“Why are you helping me? I thought you hated me or something..” sharp mumbled, finally looking down as he let Jude continue, he slowed his movements before he put down the rag, still standing in between sharpness’s knees as he looked down at the beautiful man below him.
“I never hated you.. sometimes I was frustrated yeah but— I would never hate you.” Jude explained, just standing there in between sharps legs, Jude brought his arm down next to sharps thigh slowly, leaning in even closer to sharp.
His other hand trailed down sharp from his shoulder to his hip, caging him in slightly but sharp could easily pull away.
Sharps breath hitched slightly before he turned his head away, looking at the pillow instead of Jude. Jude chuckled softy, his breath fanning sharpness’s cheek.
“Why are you—“ sharp started, voice trailing off as Jude’s bunny ears twitched slightly in excitement. Making sharpness’s eyes snap up to them, the silence weighed between them for a moment before Jude finally decided to do something.
Jude leaned him and kissed sharpness’s cheek gently, staying there slightly too long before leaning back, watching sharp slowly realize what happened and got more flustered, unintentionally letting out a soft whine.
“J-Jude what are you- why-“ sharpness whined softy, Jude chuckled louder as he leaned in more, making sharpness yelp slightly. Jude gently pushed sharpness completely laying on the bed, then Jude moved himself and laid comfortably on sharp, wrapping his arms around sharpness’s waist.
Jude hummed in approval slightly at sharps whine, he wouldn’t admit he really did like hearing him do it, plus it wasn’t his fault sharp was just so vocal.
“Comforting you— maybe also because I wanted to do this for a while..” Jude murmured against sharpness’s collarbone, adjusting his hold on sharp slightly as sharp tried to move against Jude’s hold.
Jude lifted sharp completely on the bed, then moving himself on him. Jude buried his face in sharps neckline as his arms stayed tightly around sharp, sharp shifted slightly under Jude before he let out an soft helpless whine, Jude chuckled softy as he looked up at sharpness’s expression before hiding his face again.
“Didnt know the schools most feared guy is extremely whiny and vocal in bed hm?” Jude teased, knowing exactly how it would sound to sharp.
“I am not- whiny and- bro I just got slapped by my dad and your doing-“ sharpness stuttered softy before looking away completely.
“Well- why did you get slapped by your dad? That isn’t normal” Jude said, looking up directly at sharpness’s eyes.
“Because I shoved Parker in the locker for pulling my hair- he took my fucking ribbon too-“ sharpness said, looking annoyed just talking about it.
“Well- your dad cant just hit you for it?” Jude added, Holding sharp tighter as if he would disappear.
“What do you mean he can’t? He’s my dad he can do anything-“ sharpness started, the monologue tone slipped out slightly like he was told this multiple times.
“No he can’t. Sharp that isnt normal” Jude interrupted, making sharp look down at him. Jude had to use every single fiber of his being to not just melt in sharps embrace and look at his eyes.
“It is for me.” Sharpness said,titling his head like he was genuinely confused of the thought of it not being normal, he wouldn’t wanna admit a part deep down in him knew it wasn’t normal.
Jude’s eyes softened slightly before he hid his face in sharps neck, not wanting to think about how sharp dealt with this his whole life.
“Just- heal.. or something just.. stay..” Jude whispered softy, closing his eyes as he inhaled sharpness’s scent, something like honey and vanilla mixed together that smelled heavenly.
Jude wanted to open his eyes, do a small tease— make him get flustered or something but he felt exhausted, who knew staying up for days does that?
.
Jude also wouldn’t admit he felt relaxed in sharps hold.
Jude heard faint footsteps approaching, they seemed rather hesitant as they entered the hallway— stopping right outside sharpness’s door.
Jude’s eyes narrowed— he didn’t want this moment ruined, he didn’t want sharp to suddenly turn distant and annoyed at everything when Jude already saw this side of him.
Jude held on sharpness tighter, turning his head towards the door, listening closely to the scuffle of footsteps and a knock echoing softy in the room.
“Uh s-sharpness? The nurse told me to come and give you back your ribbon..” Parker said, having a conversational tone in his voice even though there was a hint of hesitation.
Jude had never been so annoyed at someone, this was the first time sharp was being vulnerable and Parker has to come ruin it.
Sharp opened his eyes, looking at the door slightly, he made a small effort to move away from Jude—
Jude held on tighter if that was even possible, looking up at sharp as sharpness looked down at the purple bunny.
“Jude I have to-“ sharpness started softy, eyes looking back to the door unsure if it was locked or not.
“Stay..” Jude mumbled, adjusting himself on sharp trying to get more comfortable even though he already was.
“Fine- just stay silent” sharpness murmured as he turned his head to the side so Jude had better access to his neck, sharpness brought his hands to judelow’s hips trying to hold onto something other then the bedsheets like it was a lifeline.
Jude blushed red and hid his face, he listened as Parker knocked a couple more times on the door before trying the door handle.
Jude froze, who the hell tries and opens a door when someone doesn’t answer? (Def not me irl)
Jude stayed silent, listening to sharpness breath and the fading footsteps of Parker leaving.
He could feel sharpness relax under him, his breathing evening out, Jude could also feel himself growing drowsy.
“Don’t tell anyone about this.. and my dad” sharpness mumbled softy, looking tired, Jude suddenly remembered about the slap.
Jude rose up for a moment, looking at the slap mark, it was still there but slightly faded, the red mark visible even in the dark.
Jude hesitated again, then he kissed sharpness’s cheek, then Jude hid his face as if preparing for a big reaction from the blonde.
Sharp made a muffled “hm?” Sound before kissing Jude’s bunny ears, Jude could feel the heat run up his spine to his neck, the over sensitive ear twitched for a moment before he relaxed in sharps hold.
God it would be a hell of a day tomorrow.
