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.]

Toilets
I can't run to a teacher every damn time this happens. They won't be always available.
[Especially not when those apes decided he was in for a round.]
I need to show I can defend myself.
Toilets
[He leans against the sink, looking away from the mirror for the meantime.]
Toilets
Wanna train for Auror. Why?
Toilets
[Yes, he is getting to a point here.]
Toilets
[But he has a hunch where Kaoru is heading with that. There was all that stuff about teamwork and he knows, because he does play Quidditch and he is pretty big about teamwork. And he supposed before you got killed, it was better to call for help.
He sighs.]
Fine, fine, I get it. I’ll tell someone before it gets out of hand, there, satisfied?
Toilets
[Sure he got wanting to do things alone, he and his brother did. But it was for a completely different thing. He at least had his brother.]
Toilets
It’s nothing serious yet. Just a little steam in the student body, that needs to deflate. I don’t want to blow it unnecessarily out of proportion.
Toilets
[He checked himself in the mirror briefly before he turned around and started to head toward the door.]
Not much else I can say.
