3: Hello Kitty

"Bullying isn't tolerated here. Don't you know that, Benson?" Killian says in a low voice, gripping the boy's throat tightly.

The boy who was about to hit Sebastian with a baseball bat is now turning red because Killian has him pinned to the wall and is sucking the breath out of him by choking him, however, there's another reason why he is red; bloody red. Blood is pouring out of his nose and mouth as Killian has punched him mercilessly. Undoubtedly, his nose is broken.

Killian's monstrous grip is firm but not like an iron grip that will really send him to the hospital, well, he hopes so. It's not his plan to engage himself into a bigger catastrophe right now.

From the corner of his eyes, Killian sees Joseph Benson raising his bat; a futile attempt and nothing else.

"Drop the bat, Benson. You don't want to do that again. " Killian threatens, his face hardening and grip tightening.

The boy struggles for a while. He looks into his friends' eyes for help but none of them comes forward. Everyone knows when to retreat. No one is ready to displease the king of the school. Joseph has always regarded himself as an equal of Killian, making himself believe he can get away with hitting Killian with the bat when Killian tried to stop him from harming the new boy.

"Fuck, Price. Let me go now. Please." Joseph chokes out after throwing the bat, desperately trying to pry Killian's fingers from his burning throat.

"Let him go! You are gonna kill him at this point. What are you even doing?" Killian cranes his head towards his right side where he sees a panicked Sebastian Greenfield tugging at his arms to get him away from the injured boy.

Students anticipate for something to happen this time. None of them dares to interfere when people fight in the school. But they make a sacred promise of fleeing away in fear when the fight involves Killian or being silent spectators when the fight becomes too dramatic just like this one. But here the new boy is fearlessly trying to stop Killian. Maybe he doesn't know the way of the school. No matter what the reason is, everyone present there knows it's never a good idea to come between people who belong to the higher position of the food chain.

Sebastian has been calling him since he started beating Joseph like there is no tomorrow but he was too enraged to listen. He doesn't care that the hallway is full of students right now, each one of them whispering things under their breath while fear grips their hearts. Killian is the incarnation of the devil when he decides to be scary and Joseph has committed the mistake of awakening the devil inside him.

Killian proves everyone wrong, cruelly crushing their anticipation as he doesn't say anything to Sebastian, rather he loosens his grip on Joseph's neck. The relief on Joseph's face appears in front of everyone. Will Killian really stop fighting because a random boy asks him to?

After giving Joseph a final look, Killian lets him go. He smirks when his adrenaline rush subsides down and he sees the mess he created on Joseph's face. His face is almost unrecognisable, just like how Killian imagined when Joseph dared to strike him with the bat.

While Joseph pants like a dog who got chased, Killian holds him by his shirt collar and brings him closer, "Don't repeat this act, Benson." He dismisses the boy with that, leaving his collar.

The boy collapses to the floor as soon as Killian lets him go off his hold. When he casts his gaze at Sebastian, he senses fear radiating from him.

"Watch your back. This is Milestone High. " Killian whispers into Sebastian's ears as they are standing close, sending shivers down to his spine.

Sebastian takes two steps back, not being able to hold Killian's Intimidating aura any longer. He looks alarmed, eyes wide in raw fear and concern. Killian should feel happy, his signature smirk should find its way towards his face upon seeing Sebastian cowering beneath him but for some reason Killian doesn't like fear overpowering the neutral expression of his beautiful face. Sebastian's fear doesn't feed Killian's ego which is odd.

"Your face….. You are bleeding." Sebastian breathes out, sounding worried.

Killian raises an eyebrow in confusion. This isn't what he expected from the boy. His expression switched to worry from fear within a second.

"Yeah? Well, he did hit me with the bat, hence the treatment." Killian smirks as he speaks. He looks back to see students scattering around a half dead Joseph,

"Take him to the nurse's office, will you? Don't need a murder charge on my name." Killian says to Joseph's friends who nod their heads in fear.

"Do you perhaps know of any way to get rid of blood off a white shirt?" Killian asks Sebastian casually as if he didn't just almost beat someone to unconsciousness.

Killian expected Sebastian to lash out at him for acting like a lunatic or run away from him in fear like everyone. No doubt he is looking like a maniac right now with blood coating his clothes, hands and the left side of his face. He is lucky Joseph is a weakling and his strike was anything but strong. He didn't undergo a serious injury. Fortunately, he can't say the same thing for Joseph. However, whatever Sebastian does surprises him.

"Come with me." The boy says, worry dripping from his tone.

The boy grabs Killian's uninjured hand and drags him somewhere all while Killian finds himself getting amused.

He really didn't have to step in and save the boy from Joseph's strike but he doesn't know why he acted fast and striked before Joseph could do so. Oh, he knows! The things he does for his sister. He would like to believe he is doing a great job at saving his sister's crush from the bullies, just like she asked.

"So, are we going to the police station or to the principal's office?" Killian asks while walking lazily behind Sebastian as the boy is still holding his hand.

"Shut up before I change my mind." He hears Sebastian threaten without looking at him.

Killian lets out an amused chuckle, amazed by the audacity of the boy threatening someone who is literally covered in blood, most of which belongs to someone else.

"Sit down." Sebastian orders which amuses Killian further.

Without questioning the boy, Killian takes a seat on the bench and watches Sebastian's every action like a hawk who keeps his backpack beside Killian and takes a box out.

"Modern day Dora the explorer. Impressive." Killian comments after seeing Sebastian taking something else from his bag.

It takes a glare from Sebastian for Killian to playfully roll his eyes and zip his mouth shut. If it were anyone else who dared to act like this with Killian, they would be gone by now. Killian himself doesn't know why he is giving this boy so much liberty. Maybe it's the worry shining in his eyes? Maybe. Killian doesn't know if the worry is there for him though. He isn't used to it.

"Why do you have-" He doesn't get to finish his sentence because Sebastian, not so gently, presses a cotton ball soaked with antiseptic onto his cut.

"Oh, now it hurts? " Sebastian mocks as he continues to press the cotton ball to clean the wound.

"Dang it. What the fuck is that?" Killian hisses in pain, pushing Sebastian's hand away.

"Serves you right. Who told you to go fight him? I had him handled. Why did you have to get yourself hurt because of me? Who are you? Superman?" Sebastian shoots one question after another, panic being evident in his voice and facial expressions.

Sebastian doesn't wait for Killian's answer though. He looks for something in his backpack. Killian groans as his eyes follow Sebastian. The boy finally keeps his bag away and turns his attention to Killian.

"Do you see the red underwear over my pants?" Killian finally finds the opportunity to joke, eyes darting towards Sebastian's little container.

Sebastian doesn't reply to him. He takes the bandaid that he took from his bag and fixes it on the cut.

Killian ponders over the fact why Sebastian has a first aid kit with him. Is it some boy scout thing or something?

"Why do you have all these supplies? Gonna apply for the nurse's position in the school?"

Sebastian ignores Killian's pathetic attempts at making jokes and puts the cotton ball in his hand this time, making Killian hiss again.

"Be a little gentle, Mr.Nurse." Killian warns when Sebastian roughly cleans the blood off his hand.

Killian looks at the tooth mark in his hand. He must have hit Joseph's teeth while punching him.

"Want me to show you my medical certificate?" Sebastian scoffs before going back to cleaning his hand.

Killian goes silent to attentively hear Sebastian's worrisome blabbering. He seems to be too panicked and too concerned about the whole thing. While Killian is willing to admit that he went too far but none can blame him. Joseph has the ability to annoy anyone. That boy pushed his buttons one too many times before. It's time he took charge and gave him an answer.

However, Killian can't put a finger around Sebastian's mind. What got him so worked up? Why is he tending to Killian's wounds? He thought the boy didn't like him that much.

Killian doesn't fail to notice how Sebastian winches while bandaging his hand as if it were him who got hurt, the line of worry in his forehead makes him look like an old man. Even his ethereal beauty isn't enough to conceal his concern and his discomfort. Combining his alerted reaction and him carrying a giant box of first aid kit is giving him ideas which he shouldn't have. He doesn't know the boy. They met just today. Therefore, it will be wise of him if doesn't jump to any conclusion. Despite his mind telling him to act rationally, he can't just ignore how unusual Sebastian is behaving.

He doesn't know what takes over him or if his hands have their own mind, telling them to work on their own accord because he almost Swipes Sebastian off the ground and makes him sit on the bench which was occupied by him a few seconds earlier.

It seems to shock Sebastian as much as it did Killian. But Killian is a master of masking his emotions and pulling his facade of a bad boy. That's why when Sebastian stops his blabbering and looks up at him with wide eyes, he smirks like the jerk he is.

"My detective eyes say that there is a defect on your handsome face too. Let me fix that." Killian gives the confused boy a closed mouth smile before taking a cotton ball and soaking it in the antiseptic.

"What are you doing?" Sebastian questions, being skeptical of Killian's motif.

"Being a doctor. Surprisingly, being a Superman is no fun." Sebastian rolls his eyes as Killian lets out a humourless chuckle.

As Killian is much taller than Sebastian, he has to bend down and hover over Sebastian while trying to clean the blood from his lips. Killian surprises himself with how gentle he is tending to the wounds, considering the fact that Sebastian showed him no mercy. His surprise multiplies by tenfold when he finds himself blowing air on the boy's lips. Their lips are just an inch apart, one wrong move and a disaster might happen. Killian notices Sebastian going stiff, restricting even a little movement of his body. If someone were to see them in this position, they would think they are kissing.

Killian can see the boy's lips quivering a little while the tips of his ears turn red. He isn't sure if that's a sign of the pain he is feeling or his discomfort at their close proximity.

Sebastian falls silent much to Killian's surprise. Not only that. It also feels like everything around him stopped making any sounds as his surroundings seem to be eerily quiet, all his ears can pick up is the noise of their hearts beating. All while his eyes catch the beauty that Sebastian's wide puppy-like eyes hold. He is afraid he will drown in those ocean blue eyes. He keeps gently blowing air on Sebastian's lips, causing Sebastian to close his eyes.

"The man of the match is here! Wait, what are you doing, man?" A sudden voice pulls them back from their reverie which eventually brings back all the noises that happened to disappear a moment ago.

Sebastian slaps Killian's hand from his instantly, not feeling comfortable around the unfamiliar figure. Killian also retreats from his position, not expecting anyone to interrupt him.

"What are you doing here, Nick?" Killian asks his friend half-heartedly but his eyes follow how Sebastian is shoving everything into his bag.

Nick beams with happiness, his face shines with pride, "My boy, I heard you sent Benson to the hospital today! I was looking for you to tell you how proud I'm of you." With that Nick engulfs Killian into a bear hug, completely forgetting about the presence of another person.

"Don't be an overdramatic fool." Killian utters after breaking the short-lived hug.

"How can I not? That fucker stole my last girlfriend. Oh, how much I wanted to beat the shit out of him. But I let him go. You see, I'm a generous man." Killian scoffs at his bluff.

Nick is definitely the talkative one of his friend group. He is like a broken recorder. Once he starts, it's hard to make him stop.

"Anyway, What are you doing-" before Nick can finish his sentence, his curious eyes fall on Sebastian.

"Hey, I know you! You are Sebastian Greenfield, right? The boy on whom every damn girl has a crush?" Nick asks, pointing a finger at the new boy.

Sebastian cocks an eyebrow at that, a smirk finding its way towards his busted lips.The discomfort that flashed on his face is nowhere to be found now. Sebastian looks like his usual self now, beautiful and confident which makes Killian more intrigued.

"Is that so?" Sebastian asks, slinging his backpack on his shoulders.

"Dude, you have no idea! Leave some of those girls for us! You call me single in a hundred different languages, dude! " Nick exclaims, looking genuinely concerned.

"Don't worry. I don't wish to speak any of these languages." Sebastian assures while Killian rolls his eyes at their absurd conversation.

Before Nick can ask Sebastian anything else, the bandaid on Killian's cheek catches his attention and he bursts into a fit of laughter, holding his stomach. He didn't notice the bandaid before as he was too excited to express himself to his friend.

Sebastian stands there, giving Killian an innocent smile which is anything but that. Opening the front camera of his phone, Killian sees a hello kitty bandaid on his cheek.

"Cute, isn't it?" Sebastian asks, folding his arms across his chest.

Killian clicks his tongue inside his cheek and gives a nod to Sebastian.

"Just like you." He knows he has caught Sebastian off-guard with his answer as Sebastian's amused smile disappears from his face.

Nick is sitting on the bench as he can't stand anymore. He laughed a little too much. Sebastian takes the chance and walks towards Killian.

"Do me a favour, please refrain yourself from mending into my business again. Let's not interact anymore." Sebastian deadpans, looking up to Killian.

He walks away before Killian can react let alone answer. He has a habit of walking away from things. Killian notes.

"What did he say?" Nick asks Killian as they watch Sebastian walking away from the back yard of the school.

Killian stands there like a statue. What's with this boy? It's been just a few hours he has seen the boy but still it seems like he has seen a few different shades of his personality. Unluckily for Sebastian, Killian has a promise to fulfil. They will be interacting soon. He promises himself that.

"Nothing. Let's go and attend class."

"Dude, you will be called to the principal's office soon. Just stay here and enjoy." Killian nods his head.

Too much to be on the good side of his dad! Just when he thought he had all of it sorted, life had to throw a disaster named Sebastian. Nonetheless, Killian is willing to know more about the disaster. And that's when a plan crosses his mind.

"Why do you look like something evil is cooking in your head?" Nick enquiries, noticing Killian's signature smirk and his gaze which is fixed at the way Sebastian is walking right now.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Killian asks instead, totally discarding Nick's concerned question.

"Why do you ask?"

"We got some work to do." Killian gives an evil grin to Nick, placing his arms on Nick's shoulder blades.
