Don't think too hard, if you think it hurts that bad
Don't talk about it, don't let it get you down
It's only one part, of the story
Just let it go, don't let this get you down now
“Last Thing on Your Mind- Lights
Loki never felt the need to take history. History was useless to him, his mother's side had always been Fairies, his father had always been merefolk. He knew all the history, better then that brainless teacher could ever teach him. It wasn't a secret he skipped it, everyone knew. He showed up for tests and handed in the required homework but that was all. Matt guilt tripped the fuck out of him for it but that didn't really matter to him. He had the entire Rec building to himself without being bothered by Oona or others. Alone time, just him and the game.
Pinball, that was his favorite thing in the gaming area. The area was usually empty until half way through lunch. Pinball was simple and Loki had always been good at it. Not that he allowed anyone to watch him play, except Matt. Matt was the exception to a lot of things in Loki's life. Since freshman year Matt had pushed himself into Loki's life. But there was a line Loki knew he couldn't cross there, see but don't touch. Loki had spent a few weeks resenting the fact that Matt had become his only friend and then he had fucked Oona. If he couldn't have what he wanted he would go and find a way to relieve the tension. Made him feel like a bastard but he had to keep living, didn't he?
History was about the Purplesmokes who had been burned during the 'dark time', Matt was giving his the dirty look for dumping the newest mistake, and Oona was looking smugger then normal. Loki had never been so grateful for the rec building being left unlocked during school. Loki could spend all day watching the silver little ball bounce around inside the glass case. Time, family, Matt, school, past mistakes, nothing mattered as he pressed the buttons on the side to whack the ball as hard as he could.
“Err...” The voice cut through the air causing Loki to miss hitting the ball. Loki lowered his head slightly. He knew the voice, he was sure of it. “H-hey.”
“Hey.” Loki looked over his shoulder to look at the boy. He was the silent type, that was obvious from the nervous looking around he was doing. His uniform said he was in Blacktooth. Loki went through the list inside his head.
The quiet stuttering Blacktooth. How do I know?
“Mikael, isn't it? You're Danny's friend, right?” Loki asked raising an eyebrow. Danny, the newest mistake, a Blacktooth his age who seemed more then willing.
“Y-yeah, you have a g-good memory.” Mikael said softly, brushing his blond hair out of his face nervously.
“Have to.” Loki shrugged going back to his game slapping the little bar forward smiling as the little bells rang. “You don't seem the type to skip class.”
“I-i err, well, I n-needed to talk to you.” Mikael said, sounding closer. Loki had to keep himself from rolling his eyes. This wasn't the first time a friend of a mistake came to deal scold him for being a 'heartless whore '. Normally Oona was along to look smug but this one was different. Mikael acted like he would rather be any where else then be here.
“Bout what, if you don't mind me asking?” Loki asked lazily as he slammed the ball into the back of the display grinning as the game roared.
“W-well, a-about what happened between y-you and-”
“Look,” Loki sighed as another ball whisked past his defenses. “You either have a hard on for Danny or you're here to tell me I'm a horrible person. Either way, I could really give a fuck less.”
“D-do you have any idea what k-kind of pain he's i-in?” Mikael's voice was shaking as if trying to hold onto something. Loki felt it in his wings that the Blacktooth was only a foot from him.
“I told him that we were nothing more then a one time thing. It's not my fault your friend can't take a hint.” Loki said looking down at his finger nails with boredom. “Now, if you don't mind fucking off I'm trying to relax, okay?”
“D-d-danny l-locked h-himself in the b-bathroom.” Mikael was obviously was losing the battle to keep from stuttering, Loki would have felt sorry for him if the bastard wouldn't have interrupted his only alone time.
“Look, I'm sorry he's taking it this hard.” Loki said leaning on both his arms looking over the course of the pinball machine. “I told him how it would end and when. He knew that I wasn't in this for a long term thing, I don't work like-”
“Oh, I know how you work.” The change in voice made Loki's wings stop moving all together. Loki turned his head slightly to look behind him and felt his head slam into the glass of the pinball machine.
“Fuck,” Loki felt an explosion of pain in his nose and felt warm liquid start to pump out of his face. “What the fuck?!”
“That, Greenplant, is a broken nose.” Mikael's voice didn't sound right, the stuttering was gone and it was deeper. Loki tried to close his eyes, work past the pulsing pain that was located in his noise but it hurt to much for him to think properly.
“Well no fucking shit.” Loki muttered pushing himself off of the pinball machine's glass looking down at the pool of blood and the crack in the glass. “What the fuck did I ever do to you?”
“Nothing. I wasn't on your radar, really.” Loki could almost feel the heat from Mikael's body behind him as he stood up straight the pain in his nose increased from the new angle. “But Danny is my friend and anyone who treats one of my friends the way you did needs to be taught a lesson.”
“Breaking my fucking nose because Danny can't handle his own sh-” Loki felt Mikael's finger tips tracing something on his wings, the touch sent a mind numbing sensation through out his body and he let out a soft sound. “Ah.”
“I'd suggest you stop talking before you get your self into some real trouble, wouldn't you?” Mikael asked as he pinched the area right above Loki's left wing forcing them to crawl back into Loki's body. The feel of them being forced made Loki's entire body shake with pain.
“Go fuck yourself,” Loki barely got the words out before his head was slammed into the same spot on the glass as before. Loki let out a scream as his body rolled off the glass and hit the floor with a thud. “Shit...”
“Scream all you want. No one can hear you from here.” Loki felt Mikael's foot brush up his back before he felt it hit him sending him crashing to to the wall. Loki felt an unimaginable pain arms and legs. The blood from his nose was leaking into his mouth making it hard to breathe. “I would suggest you keep quiet or I'll find a more useful purpose for your tongue, understand?”
Loki bit onto his tongue as he felt Mikael kick him again, he felt the paster break as dust fell on his uniform. Everything hurt, his entire body pulsed with the pain. His head ached the most, he wasn't sure if it was the broken nose or the hitting the wall.
“You belong to one of the most useless clans that I can think of. You're weaker then the rest of us. No increase in strength, no real magical ability to speak of, no real skills...” Mikael slammed Loki's head into the wall at every other word while Loki groaned in pain. His body hurt too much to fight back, too much to struggle. His vision blurred and he felt the entire world on its side. “Although the myth of self lubrication is interesting.”
“Fuck you.” Loki groaned as he rolled on his side. He couldn't see, couldn't tell where Mikael was standing but he aimed towards the voice and spit blood at him. He assumed he hit because he heard a dark sound come from Mikael's direction.
“That's the only way you can understand anything, isn't it?” Mikael's hands burned against Loki's skin as he trailed his hands down Loki's chest. He felt a hand grab on to him roughly through his pants. Loki couldn't move, he felt so tired, he wanted to go to sleep so badly.
Maybe if I'd gone to class with Matt...
/*/
“Jesus Fucking Christ, Mikael.” Loki wasn't sure who was talking but there was a sound of horror in it. Loki wasn't sure how much time had passed, how long he'd been out. “What the hell did you do to him?”
“I was just getting started when you came in, Mitch.” Mikael sounded hurt, that made Loki almost smile. He knew of Mitch but his brain wouldn't function properly as to why he knew the name.
“Do you have any idea what they'll do to you?” Loki felt Mitch put a finger against his neck to take his pulse. Loki wanted to hit his hand away but his entire body wouldn't move.
“So I beat up a fucking Greenplant, who cares?” Mitch's finger shook against Loki's neck as soon as Mikael spoke.
“Looked like you were trying your hand at sexual assault to me.” Mitch growled dangerously low. Loki felt all the pulsing pain in his body stop at the words.
It couldn't happen, it wouldn't happen, not to me. Oh god, oh god.
“That barely counts. His pants are still on.” Mikael didn't sound ashamed, guilty, or even apologetic. He sounded bored simply corrected the story of events. Loki wanted to move so he could strangle the fucking bastard. “Although give me a couple minuets to heal and I can make his 'never been fucked' rep disappear.”
“I think you killed him.” Mitch said softly. “I can't find his pulse.”
“Good. Got what was fucking coming to him.”
I can't fucking die. Matt-

“My wife would have preferred to be here to talk to you.” Loki knew that voice... “I'm sure she made her feels about the entire business clear to you when you called.”
Dad's not working...I'd have to be dead for that to happen.
“We've never had something like this happen in then entire history of the time this school has been open.” He knew Principal Gretinger's voice well enough to know he was unnerved. “You were both students here-”
“My wife and I are not going to sue the school nor can we simply send our children else where. So you may stop reminding me of my school days here.” Loki had never heard his father's 'lawyer' voice outside of the court room and it made Loki want to blackout again. “I also know that the boy who assaulted my son will be sent to a reform school until he is considered in control of himself where upon he will be release. So you may also stop promising me or my family that you're doing everything within your power to punish the boy.”
“I realize you're a lawyer, Mr. Stillfolk, but to have such a jaded outlook on our justice system...”
“The boy was sixteen, was he not? That makes him a minor. No judge would go beyond that.” Loki's father always sounded the same no matter what was happening. “How are the injuries healing?”
“Our medics have done miracles,” Loki assumed it was a doctor, he had the sound of a stuck up one. “Your son still has the bruises, of course, but all the broken bones have been healed.”
“Has he woken up yet?” There was an odd tone to his father's voice to it.
“He suffered mild head trauma.” The doctor said softly. “We're not sure when he'll wake up.”
“We're allowing certain students to visit Loki.” Principal Gretinger said clearing his throat. “All students of course are being filtered through your eldest daughter. We feel it might help...”
Fantastic, Pan is in charge of my social life. Wonder if Matt...
/*/
Loki suddenly felt very cold, as if someone had been next to him and just moved away from him. His body felt stiff like he hadn't moved in a week. He felt the bed he was on shift as if someone was leaving. Loki didn't know if he had dreamt the feeling or if it was real but the need to see. He couldn't make his body move but he forced open his eyes. Everything blurred for a moment and then the bright white of the hospital room came into focus as well as the end of a flicking cat tail.
“Mitch, what are you doing here?” Matt voice sounded hallow but Loki couldn't be sure if he was hearing it correctly. “I thought Pan blocked you.”
“I save his life, got a free pass from the nurse.” Mitch sounded the same, Loki watched Matt's tail flick back and forth slowly. “How is he?”
“He hasn't woke up.” Loki felt his heart pound in his chest at the sound in Matt's voice. Matt sound desperate, angry, and tired.
Don't get your hopes up, Loki. I'm sure friends who don't want each other worry about their health too.
“You look like shit, Bluesky.” Mitch sighed.
“How'd the trail go?” Matt had always been good at ignoring certain parts of conversations. Loki watched the tail flick angrily in his view.
“...Mikael wasn't in control anymore. He gave into the darkness.” Mitch said softly. “They sent him-”
“Well, fuck me.” Matt sounded close to growling. “I do understand its not Mikael but...”
“I know.” Mitch said in a calm voice. “Why don't you go get some air? I'll sit with him for awhile.”
“...I guess if he's not awake yet a few minuets wouldn't hurt.” Loki watched as Matt's tail retreated out of view. Loki waited for the younger Blacktooth to peak his head around the corner.
“Oh, you woke up.” Mitch said looking a bit shocked as he walked over to the bed. “How are you?”
“...Hi.” Loki wasn't sure if the younger boy would get the subtext but he tried to squeeze 'How far did he get? did you tell anyone? do I look like shit?' all into that one word.
“When did you black out?” Mitch asked sitting in the chair next to Loki's bed looking at him blankly. Mitch was a good kid, Pan's age but cute enough.
“I lasted through most of the beating, I think. He had just-” Loki couldn't make the words come out. His throat closed up slightly and he shook his head. “I went out pretty quick after that.”
“He had his hand down your pants.” Mitch looked appalled as he looked down at his shoes. “There was no way for me to prove it and I doubted you'd want anyone to know.”
“Thank you.” Loki said nodding. “I owe you one. I mean that in the whole Godfather* type way.”
“Sure you want to do that?” Mitch asked smirking a little. “I might ask you to dress in drag for a week.”
“Hey if you want to use my life debt on something stupid like that its your choice.” Loki said leaning back against the pillows and closing his eyes.
“I'll have to save it up.” Mitch sounded close to laughing. “What are you doing?”
“Matt might as well think he's one of the first to see me awake.” Loki replied calmly.
I'd want to be the first one to see him wake up. Even if he never knows how I feel.
“I think that'd be the last thing on his mind about now.” Mitch obviously didn't understand.
