TW: Verbal bullying?? It's not bad though

Dan walked into school, confidently smiling. He had dyed his hair a red colour and he, honestly, really liked it. He thought he looked more than cool.

He was on his way to meet his boyfriend by his locker when someone called his name. He swiftly turned around, his eyebrow raised. "New hair? What are you... emo?" The person chuckled, making Dan's cheeks redden. He didn't really like it when people made fun of him. It always made him shy and quiet- the opposite of his usual eccentric personality. "Has your boyfriend dyed his hair too so you can both be emo together? That's so adorable." Dan closed his eyes, hoping the boy would just disappear... instead, he just walked closer. "No wonder you wear black all the time.. do you cry yourself to sleep too? Because you hate the world?"

Dan stumbled backwards as the boy edged closer to him. "No." He choked out, his eyes wide and filled with fear.

"Oh yeah? I don't believe you." The boy's eyes were dark and filled with so much hatred that Dan was shaking like crazy. He was beginning to get anxious which was a rare thing, considering his outgoing personality. He was just waiting for Phil to turn up and scare the boy away.

"Leave me alone." Dan whispered but his voice was practically inaudible.

"Leave him alone!" A loud, threatening voice called out, making the boy jolt back.

His eyes suddenly became wide as Dan began to smile. They completely switched roles so that Dan was confident and the boy was a trembling, terrified mess.

"Go away before I-" Phil didn't even have to finish his threat because the boy had already taken off running down the corridor. "Are you okay?" He gently placed an arm on Dan's shoulder, making Dan grin out of gratitude.

"I'm fine, he was just bothering me about my new hair." Dan gestured up at his eccentric red hair.

"I love it! It suits you so well!"

"Thank you." Dan blushed, burying his head into his boyfriend's shoulder.

"It's the two emo boyfriends!" Someone yelled, making Phil's grip on Dan's hand tighten in a protective way.

"Don't listen to them." Phil whispered with a small, comforting smile on his face.

"Dan's new hair looks absolutely disgusting by the way! Could he be any more flamboyant?" Dan actually stiffened beside Phil, fear flooding into his body.

"Wait a second." Phil muttered before releasing Dan's hand and turning to the boys who were shouting at them. He walked directly up to the main one and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "If you dare say one more thing about my boyfriend, I will hurt you so bad that you will run home to your mum, crying. So you better shut up and stop being so rude." Phil growled before releasing the boy, making him fall to the ground. "That goes for all of you too." Phil then walked back to Dan and took his hand. "Idiots." He mumbled under his breath.

-

"Does my hair really look that bad?" Dan mumbled into Phil's shoulder, frowning to himself.

"No, it doesn't look bad at all. Those kids are obviously blind because it is very attractive and it suits you so well, Dan." Phil comforted, bringing his fingers through Dan's dyed hair.

"You really think so?"

"I know so." Dan smiled to himself as Phil wrapped a protective arm around him.

I'll edit this later XD

What colour is your hair? Have you ever dyed it?

Ginger *internally groans* I really want to dye it though..
