5th Bite is freshly in love... and then some
Anywhere
[Rin can't believe his luck. Two weeks ago he was cursing his fate and now he has been rewarded with this joy. With someone to hold, to kiss, to love. It's a complete 180 from two weeks ago and it shows in his mood. He's grinning and laughing everywhere he goes, feeling mischievous and in a good mood. Suddenly he's nice and practically beaming at everyone he talks to, probably leaving not a few people confused. He's almost skipping on his toes and his game is better than it had ever been and he has a newfound motivation in lessons. Except... his grades haven't maybe changed as much, like he doesn't learn as much as before, but anyone who has seen him with a certain white haired Ravenclaw student can probably guess he's got better things to do.]
Dark corner
[Except there's one catch. That whitehaired Ravenclaw was a boy. And though Rin tried not to promote it too much, he isn't hiding it either and answered honestly to everyone who asked. Yes, he and Seth were dating. Usually people were okay with this... But not always. Rin has long ago learned that what other people said, or thought is by no means important, but that didn't mean it couldn't hurt him... or worse. His usual reply to any form of discrimination is a flash of sharp teeth, a warning growl and a seethed 'Get lost', but some people are just really resilient to that. Especially the ones who may not be taller, but had twice as broad a chest as him.]
What you a pansy?
[Is what he would face at least thrice a week, pushed against a wall and surrounded, and that is still the better case. He'd fight back, but usually he's gravely outnumbered.]
Toiletts, yet again
[Since encounters like that begun to happen in quite the frequency, Rin started to carry some make up with himself to be able to cover up the bruises. Taking a trip to the nurse's office each time it happened would be like begging for the teachers to get mixed up in this and he doesn't want that.
Thus, usually after such an encounter, he can be see hurrying to the nearest rest room, covering a part of his face, or keeping his head down, hair falling into his face, concealing it. This heightens the risk of bumping into someone, of course, but if he does, he just hurries further, not wanting to deal with the various looks of pity, or contempt.
Once in front of the mirror he washes his face and dibs the marks gently with powder, staring at his reflection in the mirror with an angry look, tears shining in his eyes. But these tears he doesn't let fall. He keeps telling himself that they're not worth it, that this is the kind of situation that - as a certain friend would tell him - can be solved with punches, no need to loose precious fluids over it. But it still hurts. Hurts to be hated for who you were... Rin wonders what was so wrong about loving someone, but he can't find an answer, or a reason. So he just bites back the hurt and let's the anger contain in, as he quietly sneers at his reflection.]

[ Of course, Tokiya would never do anything against the rules, but he didn't need to curse someone directly to execute a threat. ]
no subject
Cowards...
[He mumbles, masaging his stiff and achy shoulder. He hopes this is gonna pass soon, because he isn't sure how much more his body can take. He's also painfully aware of the piercing gaze Ichinose give him and he does everything in his power to avoid eye contact.]
no subject
If you can tell me their names, it'd be easier. Otherwise I just have faces to go off.
[ Yes, he is going to report them. ]
no subject
I don’t really know their names. I didn’t really get to ask, yanno.
[Usually he’s just glad he gets the chance to defend himself. Besides this one hadn’t been that bad… He just hates that senpai had to witness such a disgracing display. Rin wonders if there’s a spell for the earth to open up and swallow him.]
no subject
I can solve that. [ But first. ] Are you injured anywhere?
no subject
I’m okay.
[The wrist he’s holding aches a little, but that might be the bludger he ‘accidentally’ got his with while training and the fight might have just aggravated it. He’ll take care of it later. He doesn’t mention how their beaters had him on their shit list recently as well, because they really can’t afford to lose them in the middle of the season.]
no subject
Take better care of yourself.
[ Read as: 'you're a Slytherin, don't get pushed around'. ]
no subject
Don’t worry. It takes a lot more to take me down.
[If he gets pushed, he pushes back.]
no subject
[ With that, he steps back so that Rin can get moving. ]
Don't be late for your next class.
