Chapter 7
"Class, this is Gavin! He just moved here from England, so be sure to give him a kind welcome!" the teacher told them. Everyone began to talk amongst themselves while the teen in question just gave a simple nod in response to the introduction. Gregory watched nervously as Gavin lumbered towards him, a look of great disinterest on his face. Gregory shuttered. He had forgotten just how big of a guy Gavin actually was. He looked towards the door. Jimmy had left a few minutes ago to go to the office and hadn't returned. That's when he heard the chair beside him screech as it was dragged across the tile, as well as the thump of things being set down. Gregory glanced over, whimpering. He was even more intimidating up close.
"Good morning." he heard the older teen grumble. At first, he opened his mouth and nothing came out. Gregory scowled to himself. He had never been afraid of Gavin in the other timeline, so there was no reason he should be now! He took a deep breath.
"G-good morning. I-I'm Gregory!" he squeaked, shakily holding his hand out. He watched in shock as his hand completely disappeared inside Gavin's... although, the older teens grip was surprisingly gentle.
"I'm Gavin. It's nice to meet you." Gavin sighed, giving him a small smile. Gregory instantly felt a wave of relief wash over him, mainly because Gavin no longer looked homicidal. In fact, as Gregory looked into his stormy green eyes, he realized that Gavin was actually quite calm.
"It's nice to meet you too. So... you're from England, huh?" Gregory questioned. Gavin nodded.
"Yep. From the London area, actually." he muttered.
"...and do you have any siblings?"
"A brother and a sister. My sister is back home, and my brother... well... he's my twin, actually. He's not the most normal guy, I grant you, but at the end of the day he's a good kid." Gavin explained. Gregory was happy to listen as the Brit told him more about himself as well as his family. It was certainly better than listening to the teacher talk about the value egg whites. The two continued to continued to chat until Gregory felt this sudden pain in his stomach. His eyes widened. This feeling normally meant that something bad was happening, and Jimmy had something to do with it.
"E-excuse me." Gregory stuttered. He quickly ran into the hall, waving to the teacher as he went by. Gregory listened, trying to find any signs as to where his brother could be. He just hoped that Jimmy wasn't getting beat up or something like that. Of course, everyone knew the rule, and it was that if you mess with one twin, you mess with both of them. He ran through the hall, letting out a gasp as he was suddenly knocked over. It felt almost like he had run into a wall. Gregory snarled. He was about to say something when he heard a familiar voice.
"Oh my! I'm so sorry! Are you ok?!" it cried. Gregory looked up, his eyes widening. It wasn't a wall at all, but a very tall teen. That teen was Johnny. His Johnny. The two stared at each other for a moment.
"J-Johnny..."
"Sir..." and with that, the two latched onto each other, Gregory burying his face into the older teens chest. After a minute they pulled away, but only slightly. He looked up into the icy blue eyes of his favorite Brit.
"I-It worked Johnny. You're machine really worked." Gregory sniffed, wiping the few stray tears from his cheeks. Johnny nodded.
"It did... my god, I've missed you so much." Johnny mumbled, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of his head. Gregory blushed and was about to say something when that awful feeling in his gut returned. It reminded him of the task at hand.
"I missed you too... b-but now isn't the time to stand around! I need to find Jimmy ASAP!" Gregory exclaimed. Johnny nodded, getting a serious look in his eyes. It was the same look he got whenever they had a new case.
"Alright! What's the problem?"
"Sooo long story short Jimmy sometimes has these 'flashbacks', usually in the forms of nightmares, of the other timeline. He gets pretty freaked out... I-I'll explain more later! Let's go!" Gregory ordered. The two quickly walked down the hallway, staying close together. They needed to find Jimmy before it was too late.
