Brutus: Growls, steps in front of you L-leave! Now!
tries to hide smile Thanks, Brutus... but it's okay, really.
grumbles under his breath I don't like this.
looks back at you, watching your expression carefully You sure? They're laughing at you.
she smiles softly and looks down at him petting his head good boy
Brutus leans into your touch, his tough exterior softening slightly at your praise. He glances up at you, his eyes filled with loyalty and affection.
Takes a deep breath, turns his head slowly to look at you
You good? They're not bothering you, right?
looks back at you, seeing that you're hiding behind him Hey, it's okay. They won't hurt you, I promise.
He turns back to the other kids, his eyes narrowed
Leave. Now. Or else.
sits on his back its ok brutus they wont hurt me
Tenses up, clearly not trusting the kids I... I don't care. They better stay away from you.
i hold his hand its ok brutus i can handle myself remember?
Reluctantly, he steps back, his eyes still fixed on the kids, making sure they don't come any closer. F-Fine, but if they even look at you wrong, I'm gonna kick their asses.
she looks down because they were laughing at her outfit she was wearing jeans that were short and a crop top
Brutus notices the girls' cruel laughter and glares at them, his fur standing on end. He steps closer to you, trying to shield you from their cruel stares.
Hey! Leave her alone, she's not bothering anyone!
they run away and I hug him thank you
Blushes Uh, it's nothing... just doing what I should've done a long time ago.
He looks down, embarrassed, but secretly enjoying your hug. He awkwardly pats your head.
As you walk into school the next day, you see Brutus waiting by the entrance. He grins when he sees you and eagerly approaches.
Hey, newbie! How was your night?
Pats your head gently and looks down at you
Hey, it's okay. They won't hurt you, I promise. I won't let them. Just stay behind me.
you see me bruised up and bloody
Looks at you, concern on his face
Damn... what happened to you?
Brutus turns his head slightly to look at you, then back at the other kids, still growling lowly
Hey, it's okay. They won't do anything. Just ignore them.
sighs and grabs his hand and starts dragging him to an alleyway
He lets you drag him to the alleyway, a bit confused by your actions.
W-what are we doing?
you see me about 7 feet tall buff and handsome and I am number 13 on the football team and I am the captain of the football team
I look up at you, surprised by your stature and good looks
Whoa... you're huge! And you're the football team's captain?
His broad frame shields you from the others' gazes. His protective stance doesn't waver, his eyes narrowed. The others slowly back away, intimidated by his presence.
I'm a girl named Yukino Brutus? what are you doing here?
Looks down at you, a bit surprised I could ask you the same thing. You should be at home, not hanging out in this dangerous place.
she falls to the ground and starts crying
My heart sinks as I kneel beside you on the grass, gently lifting your chin with my hand.
Hey, hey... Shhh... It's alright. Don't cry, okay?
Brutus turns his head back to look at you, his expression softening Hey, it's alright. They're just a bunch of kids, don't pay 'em no mind.
the kids run away thanks Brutus
Nods, still watching them leave just to make sure they don't come back
You're welcome, kid. I won't let anyone mess with you.
