"...so I get naked to save someone." With a throbbint headache, Garren groaned softly to himself- it had been a few moments after he rescued cute younger Ramik Malek and had made a bunch of Jocks run away by the power of standing still menacingly and punching someone in the face. He was expecting the others to join in, but he must have underestimated the power of his [He's Just Standing There. Menacingly] trope- In fact, why don't he take a look at all his tropes again?

"Thank you- Oh, hi yeah, the n-name's Kenny- Well, not really, but unless you can pronounce Khaleel Naazy Al-Bahir correctly then you can call me just Kenny." He was awkward. He stuttered, and he looked up at him nervously- Garren hummed for a moment, thinking about what to say to break the awkwardness, so instead he went for the tried and true method of pretending to be smooth! Or, he would've, but instead he chose to try and make conversation when he noticed something about... cute little Kenny. His actor, or rather, who he looked like was Egyptian.

Rami Malek was from Cairo and spoke Arabic!

"So... Khaleel Naazy Al-Bahir is that, like, Arabic? Persian?" Trying his best to pronouce Kenny's full name- and failing, by the looo he gave him, Garren decided to also introduce himself to him: "The name's Garren. Garren "Top" Maverick... " he allowed his voice to linger for a moment, grinning as he noticed the single twitch from the boy's shoulder that tensed for a moment (his [Nerds are Hot] trop activating) and went: "Top as in, you know, the movie... Top Gun Maverick- my father was a fan of the movie." Shrugging nonchalantly and pretending not to notice how Kenny looked a bit disappointed and a bit relieved as he started sipping his water, he went in for the strike: "Or top as in..." He looked him up and down, a teasing smirk growing on his lips: "Well, I'd guess you wouldn't know... You strike me as a bottom-"

"—pffft!"

"-of the school hierarchy." He finished his sentence, grin wider now that he knew- Ooh, cute boy has some cute knowledge about gay sex, huh? Wonder how that happened. He enjoyed the look of shame and embarrassment in Kenny's face, an almost sadistic glee filling his heart for a few moments: "Well, at least I got these guys off of your back this time... So, tell me, what was a cute and innocent guy like you doing cosplaying as a piñata?" He could feel Kenny's body vibrate as this... aura of power? Something was released.

[<Nerdy Aura> activated!]

[Nerdy Aura: All characters with not intelligence are immediate drawn to you and become aggressive towards you.]

[Your <Nerds are Hot> trope completely resists it!]

He could basically feel his lust grow- what the fuck? He was a horny teenager, but this was getting into creepy vibes here!

"Oh, you know, just regular things..." He spoke slowly, his eyes looking around him but not making eye contact: "Became the chess club's president and that seemed to trigger an unspoken rule... And then I got hung like a witch." He looked a bit sad about that, and that wasn't great- cute boys should never be sad!

"Better than the alternatives, am I right?"

"Huh?"

"You know... crushed alive by boulders, set on fire, drowned, beheading. Oh, and all the other ways other cultures executed their criminals or tortured them- I'd recon being hung from your underwear is not that bad, right?" Looking at the boy's ruined pants that were way more torn than he thought, Garren looked around- there weren't many people around, only the jocks had been here a few moments ago, and now they're alone! "Look... your pants are ruined, your underwear too... Come with me." He took one of the boy's hand and pulled him towards where he believed the nearest boy's bathroom was.

Once there, he closed the door behind him: "Here-" He took off his shirt and gave it to him, and under the boy's wide eyes he started lowering his pants. He walked, in his underwear, into the stall- there, he took his underwear off and put his pants back on before walking out of the stall. "-wear this." He gave the boy his underwear.

What? He has done this before. A friend shat his pants, so he took his underwear off and gave it to his friend, and now he's just doing it again.

Nothing more...

No way the cute blushing face of the cute nerdy boy as he looked down at the much bigger underwear on his hands and his own torn ones... Well, that was just a nice bonus.

"Oh... I'm bigger than you." He chuckled, adjusting the pants he was going commando under- he pretended not to see the way Kenny's eyes widened when he heard him, trying to keep the smugness off of his voice as he said: "But I think it'll fit your little waist-" He turned around for a moment, shirtless still: "-oh, you csn use my shirt to wrap around the waist so your torn pants don't show your torn underwear and your cute little ass."

"...thank you?"

"You're welcome babydoll."

Turning around, he walked away, feeling smug.

——

Kenny was pretty sure he was dreaming.

After all, why would the new hot guy explicitly flirt with him? Even he, who was dumb as a rock when it was about flirting, could tell that the guy was flirting with him and making sexual innuendos to him.

He came in the beginning of the year- Nobody had ever seen him in town before, nobody was aware that there was going to be a new kid, only learning he existed almost a whole month after the school started. People started talking, and soon everyone learned of the new kid- it wasn't that uncommon to have a new kid, but a new kid who was so mysterious? He practically didn't exist and wasn't noticed for a whole month! Then there was also the mystery of where he lived, who were his parents, and what was his whole deal.

But pinning him down was almost impossible- he slipped by unnoticed by everyone! People that tried to speak to him found themselves either ignored or downright shooed away verbally by a firm "fuck off" before he left. He was, in one word, a loner.

And lonely weirdos are easy prey- or so people thought.

He was hard to find and even harder to bully- verbal attempts were squashed brutally with insults that made even Mean Mackie cry. The meanest girl you could ever meet and could sentence you to death by a few words was obliterated, people say it wasn't even a fight at all.

It was an execution!

(Meanwhile, what happened:

Mean Mackie: So, where did you buy your clothes... they're... unique.

Garren "Ruthless" Maverick, who has been through worse bullying and has ammunition: From your mother's garage sale after she divorced your father- By the way, yes, it was your fault. You needed so much attention that they couldn't give attention to each other and had to find it in the arms of other people.

Mean Mackie: ...

Garren "Not Even Started" Maverick: Also, your skimpy clothes are rather expensive- another reason your parents divorced. You wasted too much money and they got into arguments over it, slowly snuffing out the remnants of love they had for each other. In simpler words, because you're tood dumb to understand:

Your selfishness destroyed your parents, as it will destroy you one day too.

Mean Mackie: *runs away crying*

Garren "Proud" Maverick: GG EZ)

And now... that guy- that guy flirted with him? As Kenny held the underwear he was given after he got back home and entered his room, he couldn't help but... Swoon. He explained to his mother and father what happened, how he had an accident where his underwear and pants were torn and a friend gave him his shirt so he wouldn't walk home with his ass exposed. His mother fussed and fussed about him being hurt, he assured he wasn't- his dad was a bit more calm and asked him straight up if he was fine, and Kenny just nodded.

Then his mother took the shirt- sadly he couldn't hold onto it -to wash so he could give it back.

He didn't tell his parents about the underwear. He didn't know why exactly, but when he was in his bedroom, hidden away from the world and wearing clean clothes, he pulled out the underwear that was given to him and took a good look at it- 38 waist, huh? He was a bit larger than most people! It was a pure black underwear, boxers to be specific, and they were... sweaty? I mean, he must've worn them all day, he couldn't wear them too!

He should give this to his mother and tell her the truth- It was at that moment that it slipped off of his hands and fell right into his face. He was about to take it off of his face when the smell hit him... "...holy." It was strong! It was strong and... kinda hot- Okay, creepy! "I'm already weird- don't wanna be underwear sniffing weird..."

He threw the underwear away. Got up from his bed, and went to take a cold shower!

He is ashamed to admit he did, indeed, masturbate with that underwear on his nose right after his shower.

He felt dirty...
