Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Greg was surprised when Teddy hauled him into the boys lock room by the back of his neck, gentle as a mother cat with a kitten, an obviously false smile on his lips as he regarded Greg with cold blue eyes. “I,” Teddy said, “don’t care. You can say anything about me that you like and I’ll keep on not caring.” Teddy’s grip tightened, ever so slightly, just enough to remind Greg of what he could do, if he wanted. “But Billy is off limits,” he growled, the false smile dropping away. “You say anything, upset him in any way, and I. Will. Hurt. You.” The smile returned, all bright and brittle and full of sharp white teeth. “Okay, Greg? Buddy?”
Greg found himself nodding, listening to his self preservation instincts today. Teddy’s hand dropped away, letting Greg stand on his own two feet again. The boy found himself able to catch his breath, which he hadn’t realized he’d been unable to breathe until then.
“Great talking to ya again, Greg. Be seeing you.”
