Leave ((Reader x Kurloz, Humanstuck))
"Kurloz! Let's go! We're going to be late!" You frantically called to your moirail, Kurloz. Kurloz. 17 years old, still pretty young though he was older than you. He was interesting to say the least. Defintely attractive. Tall, mysterious, and handsome. All of this paled in comparison to the one thing that definitely made him odd to others. Kurloz was mute. By choice? Hell if you knew. Maybe it was caused by a traumatic event. You weren't really sure, and you never really pushed it because physoanalyzing people wasn't your cup of tea, and you figured if he wanted to tell you, he would eventually.
He signed frantically to you as you pushed him out the door and into your small buggie. You nodded, but he knew you weren't even looking. Could he blame you? After all you were driving, and going way too fast.
Running into the hell you have to call High School, you grabbed Kurloz by the wrist and pulled him towards your first period, Anatomy with Mr. Henson.
Bursting through the door just as he placed his attendence board, Mr. Henson stared at you and Kurloz. "Barely made it, (y/n). Get here earlier." He tsked you but you had your back to him half way into his sentence. Kurloz huffed out next to you, tuckered out from that run. Not as tuckered out as you though. You were literally panting like a dog. Kurloz smirked and patted your back, and signed "Just breathe" to you. You mouthed a sarcastic ha-ha to him, before turning your attention to Mr. Henson who was explaining muscles again. The guy had a serious thing for anatomy. You liked it too, but Henson boarded on an obsession, possibly a fetish?
Kurloz had a fasination with skeletons, but I wouldn't call it a fetish. He just really liked them. It was the first word I learned to sign when you talked to him, he thought you skeleton so you taught him how to tie his shoes. That was in 1st grade. Now you're both Juniors in highschool.
After you went through 1st period, all the way to 4th PE with Mrs. Anderson, it was finally lunch. Kurloz signed that he would be right back, you tilted your head at him. He signed back, "Bathroom" with a smirk. You waved him away and continued on to get your lunch. You took the B hall all the way down, and found yourself in the middle of the quad. Jeez, you never realized how much you relyed on Kurloz when it came to the school layout. You felt a hand tap my shoulder, and You would have assumed it was Kurloz, but he always pokes your side or breathes heavily onto your neck just to make you jump. You turn around to face Cronus, the school's badboy, and someone Kurloz wasn't too fond of.
"Hey doll. You're lookin' a bit lost. I would love to help you." He reached forward and tucked a piece of your (hair color) hair behind your ear. You shook him away.
"Cronus, I really don't have time for this right now, I have to find Kurloz."
"Kurloz? Who? That shy kid you always hang out with. Now, I don't mean to pull this kind of card, because honestly I dont think he is all that bad....looks wise, but you could do so much better, darling."
You glared up at Cronus, who was taller than you, but not taller than Kurloz. Your (eye color) eyes burned with anger, and you could feel your fists ball up at your sides.
"If you think me dating you would be an improvement, you've got that wrong. Dating you is literal rock bottom, and if you don't back off right now, that is where I am going to put you." Cronus smiled down at you, and grabbed your harm roughly.
"I like mine a little fiesty, but you seem to be getting mouthy ....but you are pretty cute when you're angry." He smirked, and I smiled sweetly.
"Well get ready, because I'm about to get gorgeous." You balled up my fists tighter, you took a step back, your elbow following the notion, and you were about to land a nice punch on his jaw until Kurloz's hand grabs yours. He is behind you, but in just seconds you are behind him now. He has pulled you behind him so he can protect you. You hate this and try to push past him, you can defend yourself, but Kurloz isn't risking that. Kurloz turns his head to you and quickly signs "Stay." to you. You listen as he comes closer to Cronus.
"Look who showed up, it's (y/n)'s boyfriend come to say her from the big. bad. wo-"
Before Cro can even finish his sentence, Kurloz has him pinned to the wall. Kurloz's hand is wrapped tightly around Ampora's neck, as he drags the greaser up the wall, his legs kicking helplessly. I stand up and pull on Kurloz's arm.
"Kurloz! Kurloz stop! KURLOZ! LET HIM GO.!" But his eyes are wide, and focused. NO matter what you do, Kurloz isn't looking at you, he has his sight set to kill. "Kurloz, Kurloz please" Your voice cracks as you see Cronus slowly losing conciousness. The crack in your otherwise always strong voice makes Kurloz let go of Cronus almost immediately as he looks down at you. He signs shyly, almost too himself, " He was going to hurt you." You look down knowing he is right but before you can say anything, Cronus gets up gasping for air, and looks at both of you, bewildered.
"You are a bunch of freaks! Don't you ever let skeleton boy touch me again, or I swear-"
Kurloz turns around and towers over Cronus. He takes a small intimadiating step forward, but Cronus stands strong. Kurloz grabs the collar of his jacket between 2 bony fingers and leans in closely to Cronus,
It's one word, whispered so harshly, it made you shudder from where you stood, observing. Your knees shock in fear. It was the first time you had heard Kurloz speak ever, and it was terrifying. He let go of Cronus who wasn't stupid anymore and decided he should run while he could. You looked up at a content looking Kurloz. He nodded at me before grabbing your hand gentely and leading you towards the lunch line, the oppisite way, before anyone official could come and get him in trouble.
You thought to yourself. He was mute by choice. He didn't talk because he didn't want to but maybe something caused that too. He had spoke though. For you. Today. He had spoke with a voice so harsh so cruel it didn't match him. He had almost killed Cronus brutally with the same hands that were so carefully holding your hand now. Your moirail is Kurloz, and you are fairly sure you are going to be safe with him around you,....well safe from everything but red feelings towards him of course.
