'Letter'

(Third) POV:

Roman walked the halls of his middle school, his heavy backpack slung over his shoulders as he walked.

His obnoxious brother, Remus, was beside him, walking and taking about how they had to dissect a frog today in science, although Roman was barely listening.

His mind was out of it, as he looked around the hallway, as if looking for something, or more specifically, someone.

There was this one kid in his classes that he seemed to admire, although he never go the chance to walk up and talk to them.

Their name was (Y/n), and Roman was already aware of the tingly feeling his stomach would emit as he got close to them.

They way they smiled whenever they saw caught him staring, would always bring a blush to his face, although thatw as mostly from embarrassment at the time.

(Y/n) was always the shy kid, thy never seemed to talk to anyone or have any friends, which, drew the attention of some bullies.

Roman had always wanted to help them, but as he always was about to interfere, it was time for class.

Roman hated to see (Y/n) getting picked on, they were always so nice to him, whenever he actually did talk to them, although they didn't really talk a lot. It was usually just some casual greetings.

Roman shook his head as something in the far corner of the hall, caught his eye.

The sight of (Y/n) getting bullied, made his blood boil, the look on their face as they head hung, how they were cornered and forced to listen to the insults and pushes from the other kids, the small tears that were forming in their eyes made his anger pulse through him.

Before he even knew it, he was running up to them, screaming as he decked one bully in the face.

Shock was evident on (Y/n's) face as they flung their head up to see what was going on, the sight of one of the kids on the ground and Roman looming over the top of them, the other two kids; who were picking on (Y/n) as well, lunged at Roman, tackling him to the ground.

(Y/n) didn't know what to do as they saw Roman and the other kids fall to the ground, punching and kicking each other. They couldn't seem to move as Roman kicked one of the two kids in the groin which caused them to groan.

Roman pushed the kids off of him as he got ontop of the kid he kicked, punching him, the other kid punting him in the head, causing Roman to fall back on the ground.

As the two kids saw Roman slowly start to stand up again, fists clenched at the ready to strike, they ran for it, giving up the fight as the scurried away from him.

(Y/n) just stared, their mouth agape as they watched the kids leave, before turning their attention to Romanz his nose was bloody, his face and arms were covered in forming bruises and his breathing was unsteady from the tiring events. Their eyes were already glossy with tears from the past bullying and the recent fight.

Thankfully, as the swarm of kids that had crowded he fight, hoping to watch, drew the attention of the teachers, which escorted Roman to the nurse's office.

(Y/n) watched as they took him away, unable to say anything or express how thankful they were for him sticking up for them. But as he passed by them, he gave them a small tired smile, which made their heart warm.

                   •   •   •   •   •

The next day, Roman went up to his locker, the many bandages on his and bruises from the fight yesterday.

He sighed as he opened his locker, he wasn't able to talk to (Y/n) yesterday, due to him being in the nurse's office and his parents coming to pick him up after school. He really wanted to talk to them, but didn't seem to get the chance yet.

He opened his locker, the soft tap of something dropping out of it, drew his attention to the floor, where he noticed a small plain envelope.

He picked it up, his curiosity swimming through him as he opened it, and started reading, his cheeks warming with every word he read.

'Dear Roman, Thank you so much for what you did for me yesterday with the bullies, it meant a lot! I don't think they will bother me anymore thanks to you, I'm so grateful for your help. I'm just sorry that you got hurt in the process. I want you to know that if you need help with anything just let me know, and I'll try my best to help you with it. Again, thank you so much! You're my hero!
              Sincerely, (Y/n).'

The words 'You're my hero' made Roman blush heavily and get excited and giddy as he read over the words over and over again.

He couldn't help the small, tiny squeal that escaped him lips, he held the letter, gently as if it would break, before setting it back in his locker, making sure it wouldn't crumple or tear as he went to his next class, hoping to see (Y/n) soon.
