A loud bang resounded along the hallways of Cleary University. The bell rings and students scattered, frightened that they too, will be involved with said commotion Felix Kranken and Jack Walten were making. A passerby feels sorry for Felix's abused locker as his back slams into it, but alas they could do nothing to save the poor boy unless they want to be next. They leave and the halls were left barren.
"You fucking piece of shit", Jack hisses, "How many times do I have to tell you to stop talking to my goddamn girlfriend?". Felix holds his hands up in defense but the taller male had no intentions of beating the boy up, only slamming him in a locker for show. Felix clears his throat and apologizes, "Sorry man, she was asking about the homework.. and its kinda going to be rude if I just ignored her..", his gaze avoids the calculating look Jack is giving him.
"And do you think I give a shit?", he growls, " I don't care about your ettiquetes Kranken, listen, my girlfriend will leave me if you keep doing that shit, even I can admit she's a bit of a whore", a noise akin to a laugh accidentally leaves Felix's mouth and Jack just stares at him dumbfounded, "What?".
"Huh?".
"The hell are you laughing at?".
"Oh nothing- its just", Felix adjusts his glasses, "I didn't think I'd be worthy enough for you to tell me I'd be able to steal your girlfriend in a jiffy". Jack rolls his eyes and gives out a hand to help Felix up, which he eyes, "Don't let it get to your head Kranken, its already as big enough as it is".
Felix takes the offered hand reluctantly and Jack lifts him up with ease, "I don't understand", Felix mumbles, "Why are you acting like you didn't just slam me in a locker, which, might I add, is kinky as fuck". He realized Jack never really did anything damaging to him except slamming him in lockers or taking some of his food during recess.
Jack lets out a full blown laugh that he's sure the whole town has probably heard, "What the hell", Felix felt like he'd accomplish something, "That sounds gay bro, jeez". He dishevels his black curly locks before smiling warmly at Felix, "I'm getting tired of this whole... "bullying" thing, you're not even a loser, just a freshy", he folds his arms and looks to the side, as if the admission that comes out next was very embarrasing, " Plus.. You seem like a really cool dude, and I've heared you were into coding and stuff and well, I'm into making stuff that people code so..".
Felix laughs and Jack turns red, "You.. want to be friends with me?", The taller male feigns mock-sadness, "Ugh, am I going to regret my decision?", Felix immediately shakes his head, "As long as you stop slamming me into lockers and threatening to rip my dick out if I still keep talking to your girlfriend then sure".
Jack beams at this and immediately catches Felix off guard by wrapping his arms around him in a hug, almost lifting the shorter man. Jack, having realized what he did, lets go and they stood in awkward silence, which was broken by "Was it too soon to do that?".
"N-no man, but like, give a guy a warning next time", he stammers and Jack smiles, "Okay, Felix Kranken I am going to hug you", the other opens his arms and they hugged in a more civilized manner. Felix didn't know why he suddenly felt like the burger he ate earlier was swirling around in his stomach.
"So.. You doing anything after school?", Jack asks and Felix shrugs, "Wait I want to show you something! Or well, I need help with something", his new found friend giggles at that, "Wow Jack Walten, the most popular guy in school, asking for help from me, what a sight to behold". He gets a playful punch for that.
"Okay so.. You know anything about animatronics?".
