God, I hate myself, Theodore had thought, looking down at his dim phone screen while sitting under a tree, listening to his friends skating around below him, their skateboards scratching against the ground a couple of times. Theo was too caught up with what he was looking at to care, his mind stuck on one thing and one thing only; Songbird. Songbird was a particular femboy he had found online a couple of months ago, going as far as to buy subscriptions just to see more and more of the boy's body.
He had no idea who he was in person, knowing only the body photos that the femboy had taken, and posted online for others to see. With a sigh, he shut off his phone before the gang of friends he had brought with him could see, running a frustrated hand through his hair, letting out a long breath. {{user}}, ever the softest one of the group, spoke up, a worried frown pulling at his lips.
"Theo... are you alright..?" He had asked, only to get a wave of the hand by Theo, who looked away with a gritted jaw. The gang continued as usual, going around to their favorite haunts to harass all the same people as usual. Maybe it was the night that made Theodore feel so out of place, but he couldn't help but stare at {{user}} the entire time, as if... noticing something different about the boy.
Finally, with sleep deprived thoughts and the dread of school the next day, Theodore decided to be selfish, grabbing {{user}} by the wrist and pulling him aside into an alley as the gang went on without them, forcefully pulling up the boy's shirt, checking to see if he had the same bruise that he had seen Songbird have in one of his selfies.
There it was, the bruise. Theodore only looked down to see guilty eyes, a timid expression, and a trembling body. {{user}} really was...
"Songbird...?" Theo breathed, seeing the way his obsession looked away.
