Y/N threw a kick at the second bully's ankle, knocking him right off balance and sweeping him onto the ground. Recognizing him to be the one who said all the derogatory lines about Daniel ad his mom, it awakens something in Y/N- enough to make her crouch down on top of him and start throwing punch after punch at his face, and making his buddies screech and yell for her to stop. "Delete- the goddamn- picture-" she let out between punches, the sound of the bully's pleas being, as much as she didn't want to admit it, music to her ears.

Suddenly, another one of the bullies, the last one left unharmed by Y/N lunged from behind her, playing a dirty trick by grabbing her right by the hair, yanking her upwards. "Who do you think you are-" he started, but was silenced as Y/N swung her arm back as fast as she could, throwing a jab right into his ribs. The bully fell to the floor, holding his head in pain.

Wait.

Head??

My hand did make contact with his body, but just barely- by the time I punched him, he was already falling down. So that means- I turned around to see an intimidating figure, shadowing over me.

The guy was clearly around our age- but real buff and terribly intimidating- and- just a liL bit cute- he looked angry too... not with me, right?!

"You." He put a hand on my shoulder, giving me a sympathetic look that was a bit scary from how mad he was. "You alright?" I quickly nodded, not wanting to cause trouble as he turned over to face the already beat up bullies. "You did good." He added, still looking at me, before taking a swing right at one of their faces. Little Daniel and Jiho look just as dumbfounded as me while we all watched vasco effortlessly beat up the three guys, causing them to flee away. Finally, as the convenience door shut, he looked back at us. This... this guy was good! Better than anyone else I've encountered in this small town yet- without actually trying hard, I might not be able to face him at all- maybe this place isn't as boring as I thought.

"You know me? You from our school?"

"Yeah- fashion dept-"

"Fashion? So same class as Y/N and that other transfer?"

I listened in on the converstation, sipping on my choco milk (which vasco bought from the convenience store and gave back to me for "beating up the bad guys like a champ"). "He sure is." "That new guy beat up Zack, right?" Vasco asked, taking out a headphone. "Yep again." I responded. "Hey, Y/N, Jiho- help me tell the new guy-"

"WAH- WHY ARE YOU CRYING-" I fumbled around through my bag to find a tissue while Daniel and Jiho also stressed over the sudden mood change. "Ah, so the rumours are true-" he sniffed as I stuffed a tissue in his hand. "Thanks, Y/N." "don't worry about it, but why are you cr-" "but you. You're strong. Where did you learn to fight like that?" I sweat dropped at his complete ignoring of my question. Maybe I should tell him the truth... he seemed like a good guy. Or maybe- "I just lived in a rough neighbourhood, is all." I randomly made up while Daniel listened in intently. I felt bad for never telling Daniel anything about where I was from, I just wanted him to stay safe. "You don't have a gang, then? You just know how to fight?" He asked, his face laced with suspicion. "Yeah, not right now. That's how it goes." He paused to think for a second, before reaching in his pocket for a price of crumbled up paper and a small pen. He scribbled something down on the paper before folding it carefully and sliding it over to me. "What is this, a drug deal-" I laughed, picking up the paper to see-

That's not- his number, is it?!

"My number." He said on cue. "I would like to speak with you privately tomorrow during lunch- if I don't come find you, please call me to get the location." I sighed with mixed emotions. On one hand, I'm glad it was just a normal reason and I was the one who got it twisted- but on the other-

... he's pretty cute.

"Sure." I laughed. "This sounds shady, but I don't have anything better to do." I ripped off half the paper with nothing on it, and reached over for the pen. "My number too." I passed it over to Vasco, who looked surprised. "For if I don't show up, and you can call me to see why I've broken my promise- not that I will." He gave a small smile as he carefully tucked the paper slip into his pocket.

And that's how I met Vasco, professional gangster- and total cinnamon roll.

Bonus:

"...listen up." The room was filled with tense energy as everyone gathered before vasco. "Today, the Burn Knuckles will try reaching outside our usual Bounds- and find our first new member-" the room all collectively took a deep breath. "- who is not from our department- and is a female." The whole room started gasping and choking, with the Seven Meisters practically dry heaving. "Vasco?" Jace asked with full confusion. "Who- why-" "just trust me, Jace-

I think she'll be worth it."
