Oliver felt a ripple of pain shoot up his arm, and wrenched
it away from its place around the other's neck. He grasped his
wrist tightly, letting out a soft whimper of pain as his ears
flattened against his head.
he perked his ear's up and looked at him worriedly, soon enough
hurried through the halls until he found the nurses office and sat
him down in one of the chairs that was inside the nurses
office.
he then went to the desk and talked to the person who was
there.
~~~~~
Matthew sat on the floor beside his bed and tossed a tennis ball,
letting it his against the wall and come back to him over and over
again, not really caring if it disturbed his neighbor or not since
he had nothing better to do.
Oliver quivered in the chair, little body shaking. He was
trying not to cry, clenching his little hands into fists and
squeezed his eyes shut. He swallows the lump in his throat,
glancing up at Tyler with shiny and wet eyes.
Jake jumped at the sound of the ball hitting the wall, and he lets
out a whine. He rolls onto his back, throwing his arm over his head
and huffing. "This day..." He whimpered, getting a
headache.
soon Tyler went back over and carefully picked him up, then carried
him over to one of the free beds.
he sat Oliver down and gently kissed him on the head.
''your alright Oliver...take deep breathes and try to relax...'' he
murmured.
~~~~~~~
Matthew slammed the ball against the wall and it bounced off the
wall with a rather loud thud and sailed passed him.
''darn it....'' he growled, looking over his shoulder at where the
tennis ball went.
Tyler sat down and hugged him, gently stroking his head.
''Oliver calm down... the nurses need to check to see if your
alright, okay....? i won't leave unless i'm told too....'' he
murmured.
~~~~~~~
Matthew got up and went over to where the ball landed and picked it
up, then went back around to where he was before he continued to
throw the ball against the wall.
Oliver shook in Tyler's arms, and nodded once. He was
breathing quickly, and he tried to slow his breaths. He sniffled,
face buried in Tyler's shoulder. He still shivered, shifting every
now and then.
Jake felt his head begin to ache from the pounding. He sighed,
running his hands down his face. He let out a soft and frustrated
scream.
Tyler hummed a soft melody and rocked with him slightly in hopes of
calming him down.
~~~~~~
Matthew continued to toss the ball for couple more minutes then
stopped, putting the ball away before he went to leave his dorm and
go explore the campus.
''now i'm gonna go sit in the chair okay...? the nurses need to
check you over and see if your okay.... i'm not going anywhere'' he
assured, putting his head against his.
~~~~~~~~
Matthew left his dorm and walked next door, deciding to be friendly
and introduce himself.
Oliver whimpered but nodded, jumping when the curtains were
pulled aside to reveal a cute little chihuahua hybrid. "Hello! I'm
Sandra. You're Oliver, hm?" Oliver nodded curtly. "Alright, I'm
gonna need to as you to slip off your shirt so I can check out your
side and arm." Oliver's face flushed, and he took off his shirt. On
his side there were large bruises already forming, a sick purple
and green color against his pale skin. The nurse gasped. "Oh dear.
There not much I can do about these, and the bruises are a way to
tell that your ribs are okay. Your arm has a lot of bruises too...
All I can do is give you these..." She grabbed some Advil off the
counter. "Here..." Oliver took the container, reading it with a
tilt of his head.
Tyler stared at the bruises utterly horrified with wide eye's and
his ear's went limp against the side's of his head.
he started to reach out to put his hand over one of the bruises but
hesitated, then pulled his hand away as he covered his mouth.
~~~~~~
Matthew knocked on the door and sighed.
Oliver huffed. "These should work. You can head out
whenever you need to." The nurse said softly, and scampered out.
Oliver looked back at his side, staring at the bruises as he
gripped the container.
Jake sat up, shuffling to the door and opening it. He yawned,
tilting his head and staring up at the other through his lashes.
"Hello?"
''y-you... tried to hide this from me..... O-Ollie.....'' he
muttered, trembling slightly as tears welled up in his eye's.
Tyler gently cupped his cheek and turned his head to face him,
staring at Oliver straight the eye as tear's started trickling down
his face, obviously hurt that he didn't say anything sooner.
''O-Ollie....! please..... tell me... who did this..?! they are not
going to get away with hurting you....'' he muttered, almost
pleadingly.
~~~~~~~~
Matthew waved and rubbed the back of his neck.
''yo, i'm your neighbor..... my name's Matthew'' he said.
Oliver stared up at Tyler, his small hand coming up wring
around Tyler's wrist. "It's just some guys. I'm s-s-sure some of it
is from Matthew, but the rest is just from some guys around town."
He said softly, his voice light and airy, as though he believed if
he spoke louder he'd sob.
Jake gave a soft "oh" and a little smile. "I'm Jake." he said
kindly, smile on his lips.
''Oliver... please....! i believe the Matthew part, the other part
i don't.... and you've been hanging out with me ever since we met
out by the entrance, so i know that second part is a lie aside from
the restaurant incident.....'' he mumbled.
~~~~~~~
Matthew blinked and a faint blush washed over his face. sh--... he's really, really cute..... i'm blushing aren't
i.. he thought, giving a small crooked grin.
''nice to meet ya'' he said, swaying his tail a little.
"I'm not lying, Tyler. I was extremely picked on and pushed
around back home. These are just bits of aftermath over the day
before we left for here. The rest was Matthew." Oluver said, his
voice soft but stern.
"It's very nice to meet you too." Jake purred, giving a little wink
and letting his tail flick. "Wanna hang out or something?" He
asked, leaning against the door frame with a smile.
Tyler sighed shakily and nodded, rubbing his eye's with his free
hand.
''i-i'm sorry... i'm being rational and over protective again.. and
acting like an idiot..'' he sniffled.
~~~~~~~
he raised an eyebrow and perked his ears forward, tilting his head
a bit like a curious puppy.
''and do what....? we only just introduced ourselves'' Matthew
said.
Oliver shook his head, leaning his head against Tyler's
hand. "You're fine. You did nothing wrong." He hummed softly. His
ears were drooped against the back of his head, and his free hand
rested away from his side, fingers running over the bruises on his
side.
Jake blinked. "Well... It's around 1. There's a cute coffee shop
around here. And a nice Mexican resturant. We just introduced
ourselves, so we have plenty of time to get to know one another."
Jake hummed in a soft tone, tilting his head as he looked up at
Matthew.
