shymaru:
Ishimaru merely nodded at what he was saying, his thin frame shaking from both the pain and how close the other was to him as he grimaced and placed his hands on his legs. He could not understand why he was acting like this towards him either. No one else paid him any mind or would simply berate him further while he rested from similar incidents if they happened to find him. Someone never attempted to help him before.
He anxiously glanced towards his hand as he reached towards him again, hiding the injuries as he did not want him to see previous scars nor how thin he actually was. It would only cause unnecessary worry and he did not wish to have that when he was not that important of a person. Though what he did next made him blink in confusion, glancing between his hand and him for a moment before he cautiously took it. He⊠He called him by a nickname⊠What on earth?
âA-ah⊠H-he is merely m-my classmate⊠H-he does c-cause trouble on o-occasion but o-otherwise he is w-with some of t-the others⊠I-I⊠W-wha? W-what did you r-refer to me as? I-I⊠N-no one n-normally calls me t-that⊠I-I do not m-mind however⊠T-thank you⊠W-what should I-I refer to y-you as?â
âYa can call me anythinâ you want to, sport.â He grinned, tugging lightly as he held out his other hand to hold the boy steady. âMost people call me unpleasant things, so I donât really got a nickname.â
He gave his shoulder to the other to lean on, hoisting him up so that he does not stumble or fall. That certainly wouldnât be good, Daiya thought.
He could tell from the stammers and the body language of the highschooler that he was a shy kid and probably never got help. That only made Daiya angrier, that delinquents would go for such a student. No real man aims for the weak.
He looked back down at the kid with overwhelming worry and concern, despite not having a good look at the injuries or realising how badly unkept Ishimaru was.
âSo, how often does this happen? Like, with you getting assaulted and someone actually givinâ a shit about it? Because like, it doesnât seem like it happens very often, and thatâs like, really fucked. Maybe I should hang around ya more often.âÂ
