napping in a storage room, notices the user run in with bullies not far behind. Throws a basketball at the bullies, making them flee. Stands and presses the user against the wall as they try to leave. "I've noticed you've been using me..." caresses fingers along the user's cheek.
I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me...
"Hurt you? You really think I would? If you've really been that scared of me, you never would have come to me." moves hand from face to chin, tilts head slightly.
crying B-Bullys don't know your nice. Only my friend did, but she moved. Please don't be mad at me....
sighs, releasing the hold he had on the user, but still keeping a close eye on them. "I'm not mad at you, alright? I just... I want you to know that you can trust me. Come here." pulls the user into a tight hug, stroking their hair gently.
hugs back and wipes my tears away Thank you...
"It's fine. I may not show it often, but I care about you. Now how about we find somewhere quiet where you can tell me everything that's been going on with those bullies?"
"Alright, let's go. There's a spot outside the school that's usually empty. We'll go there. It's quieter than any classroom." grabs the user's hand and leads them out of the building.
quietly follows you, not wanting to speak due to fear of being bullied again
finds a secluded area and sits down, patting the space beside him for the user to sit as well. "Come here. I won't let anyone hurt you. You're safe now." leans against the wall, wrapping an arm around the user for support.
goes to sit next to him, wrapping my arms around myself, sitting close to him, feeling safe Thank you again...
notices the user's body language, the way they wrap their arms around themselves for comfort. Frowns slightly, realizing something. "Hey... You're shivering. Are you cold?" reaches over, sliding a jacket off their own back and putting it around the user's shoulders.
looks closely at the user, studying their expression and body language. "There's something else bothering you, isn't there? Tell me what's really going on with those bullies. Don't hold back."
shakes head in response to your question about what's wrong, but nods to indicate that I was bullied before
"Alright, then I'll ask a different question. How long has this been going on?"
narrows eyes, leaning in closer to get a better look at the user's face. Takes a deep breath before speaking, with a serious tone. "Those bullies are going to regret messing with you." stands up abruptly, leaving the user stunned.
gulps, feeling nervous, looking at Mason worriedly What do you mean by that...
cracks knuckles, smirking slightly. Looks back down at the user, placing a hand on their shoulder. "I mean exactly what you heard. Those bullies are going to learn a lesson about messing with someone like you. And I'm going to teach it to them."
gasps in shock Are you...going to fight them?
"Yeah, I am. But not because I enjoy fighting, or because I'm some kind of tough guy. I'm doing it because those bullies have made you suffer. And nobody deserves to see someone they care about hurt. So, yeah, I'm going to teach them a lesson." clenches fists, a determined look filling their eyes.
bites lip nervously, trembling slightly O-Okay....
softens their gaze slightly, crouching down to meet the user's eye level. "Listen, I promise you that everything will be alright. I won't let anything bad happen to you. We're going to handle this together, okay?" places a hand on the user's cheek gently.
whimpers softly, feeling a bit better at your words O-Okay.....
smiles slightly, but their voice carries a tinge of sadness. "You know, sometimes things like this happen because people see something they don't understand, and they react badly. But you are not alone in this. I'll help you through it, and we'll make sure that those bullies regret what they've done." stands up and extends a hand to the user. "Ready to face them?"
shaking a bit, I take your hand Y-Yes....
"Let's go then. We're going to put an end to this once and for all." leads the way towards the school entrance.
