darker_london | Just need to talk (Danny, Cai)

Danny waited outside the school on Monday afternoon, the sleeves of his jumper pulled down over his hands. He really wanted to talk to someone about what had happened with Rachel, but he had no idea who else he could talk to. Cai had seen the things he had been through, and he might even had felt them. It beat talking to someone else who had just been told about it. He knew he could talk to his mum and he should talk to his therapist, but this thing with Rachel felt more personal. Like it wasn't their business. Cai knew Rachel and he wouldn't judge her.

So he waited and kicked at the ground with his shoes a few times without really looking up. He heard someone call an insult out at him but his eyes stayed fixed on the ground. Fucking arseholes. His jaw tightened and he leaned against the stone wall of the school, trying not to let the name-caller see his displeasure.

"Hey, Marlow! You waitin' for your freak friends?"

"Don't get too close to him, dude, he'll puke all over you."

The pair laughed and the first one called, "do you vomit when you suck dick? Hahahhaa look at him." Danny had clamped his hands over his ears at that, staring furiously at the ground. "I bet your mum sucks dick."

"I'd let her suck mine, fuck-" the second one shouted out.

"Fuck off," Danny said, though it wasn't very loud.

"Aww, did pussy say something? Speak up, nancyboy!"

Talking back was only going to encourage them, and so Danny clamped his mouth shut, anger burning away in his belly.
