Jess and Tedd

Cooper:
Cooper got tired as he read and crawled under the blanket, curling up. Eventually, Cooper fell asleep, but soon was in a nightmare. He shook in his sleep, a few tears running down his cheek.

(( thanks... I was tentative at first to put both names I go by and so I put Jess, but I felt like my life would make a lot more sense if I put both on there ))

(( Oh yeah, I just noticed you added Justin to your name (: Cool! :D ))

Xavian looked over when Cooper first fell asleep, watching him for a moment before he turned his attention back to his book momentarily.

Cooper:
Because no one had ever cared enough to tell him, Cooper had no idea that he moved so much in his sleep, but he did. He made a sort of whining noise as he kicked around in the bed.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian's attention got pulled from his book, yet again, when he heard him whine. Her watched his kick around, wondering if he was having a bad dream.

Cooper:
As Cooper continued, he fell off the bed, still asleep. It really wasn't that out of the ordinary for him to wake up on the floor, or even in a different room.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian looked at him when he fell, sighing softly and getting up. He picked him up gently, one arm on his lower back and on under his arm near his armpit. He was about to set him down on the bed when he stopped, looking down at the smaller boy with a confused expression on his face.

Cooper:
Cooper's face scrunched in fear as Xavian helped him. Feeling hands on him automatically scared Cooper. More than that, though, Cooper didn't bind before he went to bed. It wouldn't really be that noticeable since his breasts were pretty small, but being so close to anyone and they would know.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian saw the expression on Cooper face and figured he probably didn't like Xavian touching him. He gently placed him down on the bed, but then just stared at him. He would regret what he was about to do..but he had to know. Reaching forward, he slowly lifted Cooper shirt up. As soon as he saw his breasts though, he dropped the shirt and looked away, blushing a bit.

Cooper:
Rolling over onto his stomach, Cooper breathed heavily, and eventually simmered down, falling into REM sleep.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian didn't looked at cooper for a moment, but his gaze eventually went back to him, er, her..? Him? Her? Honestly, he couldn't tell. His voice was girlish, but he was pretty sure he was still an actual boy...But with breasts. Possibly...a hermaphrodite maybe?

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
Cooper slept through the rest of the night fairly undisturbed.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian eventually returned to his own bed, deciding not to think too much of this. If Cooper was actually a full on girl, well, that wasn't really his business. And if he was a hermaphrodite, same thing, not his business so whatever. He laid down, setting his alarm clock and falling asleep about 30 minutes later.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
When Cooper woke, he woke slightly started. He looked around the room, confused for a moment, and then remember where he was. He sighed, not looking forward to the hell he knew would be school. He pulled the blanket back over his head, dreading the day.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian was still asleep in his bed, his alarm not set to go off for another 10 minutes. His blanket was down only covering his legs and, of course, his stomach was exposed.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
Cooper noticed Xavian's stomach and tried not to look too much, but he couldn't really help it. He was so attractive and it was all Cooper could do not to stare. Then he remembered why he got up so early and took his medicines before grabbing his shirt, hoodie and skinny jeans along with the ace bandage. He went to the bathroom and wrapped his chest before getting dressed. With the binding on, Cooper's chest was completely flat.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian woke up while cooper was in the bathroom, his alarm going off loudly. Sighing, he turned it off and sat up, scratching his arm. He saw that Cooper was already awake and he glanced at the bathroom door before looking away and getting up to get dressed.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
Finishing getting dressed, Cooper went to the mirror and brushed his hair and teeth and did everything he had to do to get ready in the mornings. He then headed back to his bed and laid down again.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian was at his dresser now, picking out his clothes. he got out a pair o black jeans, a black t-shirt and some socks. He stripped and got dressed quickly, not hearing Cooper come into the room.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
Cooper had his eyes closed for most of it, but opened them as Xavian finished dressing.

(( So, I'm thinking maybe a bunch of boys corner him and start a fight after his first class and Xavian walks past as it's happening or whatever ))

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Okay, that works (: ))

Xavian put his shoes on then and looked at the time. Breakfast was chaotic sometimes, so he liked to get there early. So, he got his backpack on, since he was going to class right after breakfast, and his track bag.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
Cooper grabbed his own backpack and followed Xavian to the cafeteria.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian left the room and walked down, knowing that cooper was behind him. He wasn't going to say anything to him about what he saw last night, it would probably just make him super uncomfortable anyways.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
After Cooper got to the cafeteria, he was confused by the rush of people around him. He chewed his lip a bit as he watched nervously.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian got into line for breakfast, money ready. He got the same thing every single morning: apple, Cheerios cereal, water and orange juice. He got into the long line, but thankfully it wasn't as long as it would be if someone showed up later.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
Cooper didn't eat breakfast, well it could be said that he didn't eat at all. He sat down at an empty table with a cup of water and drank it quietly.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian got his food a few minutes later and he took his seat and the end of a table he always sat at, beginning to eat.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
Feeling a bit cramped from the many stares he could feel and the whispers he heard about himself, Cooper decided to go outside to get some air. He went out the double doors and around the corner, relatively out of sight. It wasn't until Cooper felt the harsh, cold grip of a boy much larger than his hand that Cooper knew there was anyone there. The group of large guys numbered about five and two of them held him as one of them stood in front of him, "I know you are new, but we don't take kindly to your type here. You can't just come in here with that hair and your stupid clothes, you little girl." He then kneed Cooper in the stomach. Cooper knew what he was about to endure and kept his mouth shut.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian ate faster than he normal did, then he scanned the cafeteria. weird. He just saw cooper a few minutes ago. He began to get a little worried and he stood up, leaving the cafeteria with all his stuff. He left the building just as he hear someone speaking around the corner and he went over there, glaring at the guys.
" Picking on a newbie already?" he asked, going over and pushing the one that kneed Cooper away.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
The boy glared at him, "You are sticking up for this kid? Really man?" He then stepped closer to Cooper and punched him square in the jaw, testing Xavian. Cooper didn't even mind the painful punch, he was still just in shock that he was sticking up for Cooper. He didn't struggle against the boys that held him.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian barley thought before his next action. He back slapped the boy in the face and, before he could recover, kicked him in the gut and he flew back a few feet.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
The boy scuffed on the ground and the other ones who followed him let go of Cooper, scattering away and helping their leader up. The boy in charge glared and walked away, but not before he looked at Cooper harshly, "He won't always be around..." When the two boys let go of him, Cooper doubled over, coughing harshly from the hard kick in his gut. He was short, so it not only hit his stomach, but also his chest.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian glared as the boys walked away, then hurried to Cooper. He put a gentle arm around him and brought him close to himself.
" Where exactly does it hurt?" he asked him.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
Still coughing, Cooper put his hand on his lower chest/upper stomach area. "Thanks," he choked out.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian looked at where he put his hand, biting his lip gently as he suddenly remembered last night.
" You want some water?" he asked. He always kept a bottle in his backpack.

[[deleted user]]

Boone:
Nodding, Boone blushed, "Sorry I keep getting in trouble."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian reached into hi backpack and pulled out the water bottle he always kept, handing it to Cooper.

[[deleted user]]

Boone:
Cooper drank slowly, then handing it back to Xavian.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian took it and continued to look at Cooper.
" Feeling a little better or does it hurt still? Is it hard to breath?" he asked. He knew a lot about injuries, being on track team and all.

[[deleted user]]

Boone:
He chewed his lip slightly, "Um, it's a bit better, but it hurts when I breath in... I don't think it's a problem though."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

" Are you sure? Just try and take slow, deep breaths. It'll hurt, but it'll feel better after a little while," Xavian said, letting him go slowly.

[[deleted user]]

Boone:
Boone took deep breaths like the boy instructed him, and looked sideways at Xavian, "Why is it you are being so nice to me?"

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian looked at Cooper for a moment, actually having to think about that himself. He just...felt the need to protect this boy for some reason. He stands up for other kids as well, but with Cooper...he just felt like he needed to.
" I don't let anyone get picked on," he finally replied.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
Nodding, Cooper smiled at Xavian, "Well regardless to why... thanks." He really liked this boy, but he would never put a freindship in jerpordy to tell him,because he didn't get very many friends.

(( Ugh, sorry about the random name switch...))

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Haha, it's quite alright. I do that too sometimes (: ))

Xavian nodded.
" Yeah, not problem," he said, standing up straight now," You might get a bruise there, since your sort of small and skinny. If you do, tell me and I can give you something to help the pain."

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
Cooper stood up as well and nodded, his eye already starting to bruise from the punch he had taken. But that wasn't a big deal. Cooper was used to having many bruises.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Xavian examined Cooper, then sighed softly.
" If anyone tries to make fun of you or anything else today, make sure you tell me, okay?" he said.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
Chewing his inner lip, Cooper looked at the ground, "I really don't want to bother you."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

" It's not going to bother me. really, i promise. I understand though, if you don't tell me. I'd like it if you would though," he said, shrugging.

[[deleted user]]

Cooper:
Cooper nodded, "Alright, if anything happens, I'll let you know." He picked up his bookbag that had been dropped when the boys ganged up on him.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

" Okay, thanks," Xavian said and picked up his own backpack, heading back inside. It was still breakfast time, but he decided to go right to his first period class anyways.
