Chapter Text
Though Lars may seem like a jerk it wasn't always his fault and the only one who knew this of course was his boyfriend of four months now, the local idiot as referred to by some, Ronaldo Fryman. Take Sponge Bob Square Pants for example, Squidward gets treated as the grumpy stuck up neighbor, but if you lived next to that sponge every day, then had to deal with him at work wouldn't you get at least a little irritated, well, while Lars didn't live next to him he certainly had his own Sponge Bob, who was bugging him on the way to school right now.
"Hey Lars, who works the Big Doughnut while you're at school? Don't you get worried whose hands will be all over the doughnuts," the boy let out an exaggerated gasp," what if they don't use gloves!?" Steven shouted, a hand covering his mouth as if he had just cursed, but he might as well have with the few eyes of students that turned towards their direction." Those savages! I bet the don't even wash their hands."
Before Lars could express how much he didn't care about what happened at the Big Doughnut while he was off duty a tall blonde walked up to him, but unfortunately it wasn't the blonde he was hoping for, in fact he had rarely seen this guy around school, he looked up and down at his attire and immediately remembered why, he was wearing dark blue shorts and a black v-neck, but what stood out was his varsity jacket he draped carelessly on his right forearm.
" Hey have you seen Ronaldo around? Jenny said you would know where to find him, you're....Lars right?" Something about how smooth his voice sounded rubbed Lars the wrong way. He had almost panicked, thinking that Jenny had slipped the secret of their relationship to who ever the hell this guy was.
Lars glanced down to the side of his to see that Steven had already scampered off, probably getting distracted by something else that interested him, he looked back at the taller male in his hazel colored eyes." What do you need Ronaldo for?" He asked, not bothering to answer his questions.
" Oh sorry, my name's Tom," The now named blonde Tom held out a hand for Lars to shake, but when the other boy just sneered he awkwardly pulled his hand back." Right, well we have a science project together, we were working on it last night, I guess I lost track of time because I forgot to get his number. I can be quite air-headed sometimes." He ran a hand through his vexing straight blonde locks, his infuriatingly velvet like voice continued speaking." I really wish I got his contact information." Tom let out another soft chuckle his broad shoulders bouncing lightly." Time really does fly when you're having fun."
"Haven't seen him." Lars said curtly, he was started to get annoyed with this guy's general presence. He then started to wonder about last night when Ronaldo had cancelled their plans of a movie night and a few beers, but he only half listened to the explanation and was now regretting it. Lars didn't even try to hide the fact that he was pissed as he glared at Tom." Don't you have skirts to look up or the coach's sneakers to lick?" Despite the fact that he usually got in to verbal arguments with people, most would think twice about getting on the bad side of a well-built foot ball player he had a reason that was worth it; Ronaldo.
Tom was immediately taken back by the suddenly rude comment and had to rethink over the short conversation to see what he had done to offend him." Uh, well I was just worried about getting the project done." He tried to explain, he wasn't one who was easily intimidated but the glare on Lars features sent chills down his spine.
"You mean you wanted to make sure Ronaldo was getting it done, right?" Lars hissed." I know how you helmet heads work, pushing around nice guys to pick up your slack." What was really on his mind was the 'fact' that this guy was trying to get his grabby hands all over Ronaldo, but he couldn't say that without revealing their relationship." So either leave him alone or you'll be answering to me."
"It's not like that-" Tom was going to continue but the bell rung, beginning the six minute passing period to the next class." I-I gotta run." He said quickly before jogging off to were the classrooms were.
Though he should have been heading on his way to class as well, Lars wasn't in the mood to sit through some boring session with his teacher for an hour and the encounter with Tom just know made his skin crawl, though never really being in a physical fight before he felt an urge to kick that guy's ass, even with a slender frame like his. He subconsciously chewed his bottom lip as he walked aimlessly in the halls, there were a few other students also ditching, most sitting outside classrooms smoking weed, the smarter ones did it in the bathroom.
' Why would Ronnie pair up with that guy for science?' Lars thought to himself.' I would think he'd pick one of his other nerdy friends, not some meat-headed jock.' Before he had time to catch it, a growl slipped past his lips and he was pretty surprised by it, sure he has gotten jealous, more times than he would like to admit, but never this heatedly. More often than not it was his boyfriend who would bring feelings out of him that he rarely liked to show towards anyone else, it was some unnatural, perhaps God given talent Lars had decided. While he doddled around through different hallways, he saw an open classroom, he glanced in while he was walking by, but the sight made his do a double take and stop. There was Ronaldo, sitting at the teacher's desk talking to a couple of kids that were sitting in desks across from him, jotting down what Lars presumed to be notes, then it hit him. Ronaldo usually had Wierdness Investigations club, he was the president as well as the founder, he also got to name the club, which was a tribute to his website.
He took a few steps in, leaning against the door casually before tapping his knuckles on the wood a few times, causing everyone in the room to look up at him, which only made him slightly uncomfortable." Mind if I stay awhile?" Lars asked, he figured that just being around him would ease his nerves a bit more.
Ronaldo smiled gently at him, but one of the 'investigators' as they liked to be called made a whining noise." Aw, I thought it was a real girl."
Just then he was struck at the back of his head by the girl sitting behind him." What do you think I am asshole!?" To be fair her hair was a bit short and she was on the flat chested side, but she had big rimmed glasses that made her attractive, along with the small spread of freckles on the bridge of her nose and her bangs that had an 80's feel to it which added a cuteness factor. Soon the other kids in the small group started contributing to the argument and giving her tip of how to be more female looking.
Lars just rolled his eyes before walking over to Ronaldo." So this is your club huh? They seem like a handful."
"They're not as bad as someone else I know." Ronaldo replied jokingly with a smile that had Lars' heart spinning doughnuts in his chest and a pink blush spread over his cheeks.
"Shut up." Lars muttered, he didn't say it out of anger and of course Ronaldo knew this since he replied with a chuckle before yelling to call the attention of his group mates. Lars had looked over as well to see that someone had taped a post it note with the gender symbol for female on her forehead, the poor girl was just sitting there quietly while the boys lightly chatted and snickered. She ripped it off her forehead when she had realized Ronaldo's attention was on her now.
Before Lars could speak Ronaldo beat him to the punch." Who did this to Alyssa?" He spoke in such a stern manner Lars himself had never heard before and he felt himself shrink a little, he had such an intense look in those deep blue eyes that made Lars choke on his spit even though he wasn't the one who was in trouble, when no one spoke up he said." Fine, everyone is running laps tomorrow on the field, with out their inhalers for the whole week and if no one confesses by then the club will be disbanded."
The reaction of the room was almost instant, though nobody said who it as they were all shouting for the club to remain and after a while a boy had stepped forward to plead guilty, making everyone else sigh with relief and he was hit with a citation and a warning of being banned for the next disruption. Lars had no idea that any one other that Ronaldo could be so passionate about hunting for things that couldn't be explained. He looked back at him, the voice he had used still made him shiver." I'm gonna sit at the back 'kay?"
Ronaldo just gave him a nod." Sure go a head, feel free to join any time you like." He smiled.
Lars rolled his eyes." As if I would want to be around this nerd herd." He said jokingly as he walked to the many empty seats that were further back at the class, but more towards the side so he could have a clear view of Ronaldo, he slung his bag in to the seat in front of him as he took out his phone and began scrolling through different web pages about what to do if your boyfriend suddenly uncharacteristically turns you on.
He wasn't sure how long he had been sitting there but it only felt like a few minutes had passed before he heard the bell ring for second period, Lars looked up from his phone to see that everyone was shuffling out of the classroom in to the halls, except Ronaldo who was collecting papers off the desk and Alyssa who had just gotten up from her desk. Lars got up as well, figuring he could walk Ronaldo to class just because he felt like it, he pocketed his phone and grabbed his bag, about to walk up to the front of the classroom when he was stopped, he watched as Alyssa walked up to Ronald's desk and since he was adjacent to them he could see her cheeks were a dark red.
"U-Uh Senpai." Alyssa choked out, it came out as a bit of a whisper, she kept glancing down at her hands, which were in front of her index fingers pointing out on both hands and she kept pressing them together and pulling them apart in a small rhythm.
Ronaldo looked up to acknowledge the girl with a smile." You don't have to call me Senpai when we're alone, that's only for the club. Did you need something?" He asked as he finished stuffed the pages in to his shoulder bag.
Now Lars had strong principles against hitting a woman, he believed it was cowardly but the net words that flew out of her mouth made him rethink that." Well, I wanted to thank you for handling the situation earlier, with the boys. Being the only girl in the club has it's hardships, but you make it easier by being so kind to me Senpai." Alyssa then stopped fiddling with her fingers to fish through her bag and pull out a small white box with a red ribbon tied around it." I know it's not much. but I've been meaning to give these chocolates to you as a sign of my appreciation." She said holding it out to him.
Ronaldo awkwardly reached out and took the box from her." Oh, um, thank you Alyssa."
Alyssa seemed over joyed at his acceptance of the sweets, but behind her Lars was fuming, as a matter of fact he was charging right up to the front of the class." I'm glad you like them, I also wanted to know if you were free-" She was cut off by Lars nudging her aside, swiftly grasping on to Ronaldo's wrist and dragging him out the classroom.
"We have plans that day." Lars growled at her, as he pulled his boyfriend ,who gave her an apologetic smile, through the crowded halls of the school corridor. Upon seeing the murderous look on Lars' face, most people moved out of the way and he simply maneuvered around the other. Keeping his grip tight on him and ignoring his questions Lars hauled Ronaldo all the way to his house, where he knew his parents had gone off to work.
"Lars what the hell-" Ronaldo tried asking for the hundredth time while he was being hauled across town and 'kidnapped' in to Lars' home, but he was cut off by a pair of lips smashing in to his own. He was shocked by how much passion he could feel behind those lips and his hands instinctively went to his hips when he felt a pair of hands tangle in to his messy blonde curls, when the pulled apart for much needed air Ronaldo could only pant lightly as he stared back in to Lars' eyes.
" Why does everyone want you Ronnie!?" Lars shouted as his hand once again went to his charge's wrist and he pulled him in to his room and slammed and locked the door behind them, he then pushed him to make him sit on his bed before climbing in to his lap." I swear you're never leaving my room again, or else I'll become a serial killer." He huffed.
It slowly dawned on Ronaldo what his frantic partner had meant." Is this about Alyssa?" He asked with smile that was nothing short of charming in Lars' dictionary.
Lars groaned exasperatedly." Of course it's about Alyssa! And Tom! And that gothic punk that stares at your ass in Gym class! And that janitor that just so happens to be mopping every time you walk to History!" After letting out his tangent he panted and waited for his reaction.
Ronaldo shook his head and started full on laughing at him, he was laughing so hard that his face was turning red and tears were in his eyes, when he started to calm down he looked back up at his still pissed off boyfriend, trying to talk while catching his breath." S-Sorry....I jus-s-t....aren't you overreacting?"
Lars gasped and his features looked as if some one had just told him broccoli were sentient beings sent to take over the planet, but with Ronaldo he would be the one to say something like that." Overreacting!? Do you know how much people fawn over you all day? Or how exhausting it is to get them to back off with out telling them about us? I just don't get it...." He looked down and the anger that was once on his face completely fell.
The other boy sighed and pulled him closer so their bodies were pressed up against each other." Lars, we have been together almost all our lives and dating for four months now, do you really think some random stranger is going to come between us just for ogling over me?" He rubbed up and down the small of his back and smiled when the smaller boy relaxed.
The mohawk wearing teen wrapped his arms around Ronaldo's neck and breathed a sigh of relief." Thanks Ronnie, I guess I was just letting things get to my head."
Ronaldo chuckled and nodded." Yeah you were." He kissed the top of his head and they just sat like that holding each other for some time, not a care in the world anymore." But I think you're right about that janitor."
The End......for now......
