Maka Albarn Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Stilio shook his head, face still as red as a tomato. "Not really."
Maka Albarn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 "No, I'm not." Stilio's tone was serious, and firm. He truly thought himself as ugly and unattractive.
Viperscreed Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Jervis raised an eyebrow. "I would personally date you." Jervis stated simply.
Maka Albarn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 "You would?" Stilio's face was red once more.
Viperscreed Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 "Yeah." Jervis said smiling and ruffled Stilio's hair. "Why wouldn't I?" He asked.
Maka Albarn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 "Because I'm an ugly freak." (Stilio's bullied a lot so he's really insecure.)
Viperscreed Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 "There is no way you just said that." Jervis said flatly. "He did, young master." Alexandria said as she dangled from his arm, swiping a paw over her ear. "Your coming with me." He said, picking Stilio in his free arm.
Maka Albarn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Stilio blushed a bit deeper. He knew he was small for his age, but he was being carried like he was a toddler.
Viperscreed Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Jervis toke Stilio to a restroom and stood him in front of the mirror. He gently fixed Stilio's hair so it was out of his face. "Alright, now tell me that that isn't a nice looking young man." Jervis challenged, gesturing to Stilio's reflection.
Maka Albarn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Stilio looked in the mirror. He didn't see a nice looking young man, like Jervis did. He saw a boy with stone-cold grey eyes, messy blond hair, and fat. Too much fat. He wasn't fat, he was skin and bones, but he didn't see that. He felt the cuts on his wrists sting under the long sleeves of his school robes.
Viperscreed Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Jervis watched the other for a moment, expression softening a bit. He wrapped an arm around Stilio's shoulders. "What do you see?" Jervis asked softly.
Maka Albarn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 "A boy who isn't good enough. A boy who's fat and ugly and stupid."
Viperscreed Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Jervis' eyes widened a bit and he looked down at Stilio. "I think you're good enough, more then good enough actually." He said softly, gently rubbing Stilio's shoulder with his thumb.
Maka Albarn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Stilio gently tugged on his left sleeve, silently hoping the other didn't notice.
Viperscreed Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Jervis glanced down and furrowed his brow. "You got a stickle burr in your sleave?" He asked, having found a couple in his own earlier and he reached down, flipping the sleave to look at its inside.
Maka Albarn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Stilio bit his lip, seeing the scars from where he mutilated himself.
Viperscreed Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 "The hell..." Jervis said, gently pulling the sleave back to look at the other's wrists. "Oh Stilio..." He said softly looking down at the other, his grip tightening slightly.
Maka Albarn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Stilio was silent, staring at the floor. He didn't want anyone to find out what he did to himself on his worst days... He just tugged his sleeve down once more, not looking up at Jervis's face.
Viperscreed Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Jervis gently pulled Stilio into a hug. "You don't have to do that anymore, I'm here... okay?" Jervis inquired softly.
Maka Albarn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Stilio mutered an, "okay," after burying his face in the other's chest, crying a bit.
Viperscreed Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 "I'll keep you safe." Jervis said softly, holding Stilio tightly.
Maka Albarn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 "Thank you," Stilio muttered softly, his face still hidden in the other's chest. He liked having someone who cared about him.
Viperscreed Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 "Anytime." Jervis said gently, resting his cheek in the other's hair.
Maka Albarn Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Stilio wiped his tearful eyes, sleepily yawning.
