School Days
Characters: Billy, Wanda
Setting: Outside Billy and Teddy's apartment
Content: Injured persons and ignorant people, perhaps some swearing
Summary: Billy isn't excelling in the social aspect of school. His pseudo-mum helps.
He didn't understand what it was they saw. People had been calling him 'faggot' well before he'd really given his sexuality any thought, and seemed to have stuck. Even in this new world it had taken him all of two days at his new school to rub someone the wrong way. He'd looked at him wrong, or just plain looked wrong. He supposed other kids got called the same name, most of them weren't gay. Billy had never given any confirmation that he was or wasn't, but he couldn't help but let it get to him. Was it stamped on his head or something? And did it really mean he deserved this black eyes, bloody nose and- his tongue darted out- yep, split lip too.
He sat limply on a swing set outside of the apartment, frowning into the distance, fingers twisting absently around the chain. He didn't want to go inside. He didn't want to upset Teddy. Was Teddy even home yet? It didn't matter, he'd come in eventually, and he couldn't exactly hide the bruising. He wasn't sure why exactly he expected school to be different here. He liked it outside of the hitting. Superhero or not, he wasn't about to hit back. The last time he'd done that he'd nearly killed a boy, and with everything going on he'd rather not be outed as a mutant right now if he could help it.
It reminded him off how he'd first discovered his powers, how the real Wanda had comforted him, that was before he knew who she was to him, before she had her break down...before the war. So much had changed.
