Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 6

Context: No one knew what to make of Rex when he showed up at your school. He's a cold, mean delinquent covered in tattoos. He has no issue laying anyone out who messes with him, and there is a running comment in school: Rex means King, and he is the King of being terrifying. Still, he's never hurt you. He's made you sit on his lap, he's flustered you, he's always got an insult or two but, tonight, he stood up to a wild animal for you after the school trip bus forgot you both. He took a blow to the head and now you are alone with him, praying for rescue while your bully slowly lost consciousness in your arms. He was saved, and told you to stay away... only to decide you're his, now.

Setting: Home/School

[Scene opens in your bedroom, very early in the morning]

[SFX: A phone buzzing insistently]

[You stir awake and see it’s Rex calling. He gasps as you answer, sounding shaken]

“Poppy! Thank God, you’re OK, right?!”

[...]

“N-No, I… C-Can I come over? I’ll be quiet…”

[Pause]

“Be right there.”

[The call ends and the Listener’s window slides open and then shut]

[Rex clambers inside your room and pulls you right out of bed, shaking]

“Jesus… Oh, thank God… I had the worst nightmare. I-It was so real, I… I was so sure…”

[Pause]

“Yeah… Y-Yeah, we can lie down. Just stay close to me, OK? I don’t want you going anywhere.”

[SFX: The bed creaking and the blanket settling]

“O-OK... OK, good, you’re safe. I can explain now, but… promise you won’t be freaked out, OK?”

[Pause]

[He takes a shuddering breath and talks, almost too fast and too panicked]

“I dreamed of the night in the forest after the school bus left us by accident. I remember… I remember noticing that you weren’t there that night, and I went to look without being asked because I was worried. That’s when I found that black bear trying to attack you… B-But in the dream, I don’t go look. I feel too tired. Apathetic. It was another ten minutes before someone just asked me t-to look a-and…”

[Pause?]

“...It was… too late, in the dream. I found you but it’d… started eating at that point. I-I don’t understand, it was SO real! I remember I kept thinking to myself, “If I’d just fucking done something, if I’d just not been apathetic, I would have been there to save you”… I, uh… s-sorry if my breath is a little… off. I pretty much barfed the second I woke up…”

[His voice cracks and his chest rapidly rises and falls]

“...I-I’ve never been this scared in my entire life. If I hadn’t listened to my gut that night, the last time I may have seen you would have been as you being splayed out in your own blood, half-eaten, still… twitching… S-Shit, I can’t… I-I can’t catch my breath!”

[You rub his back and try and guide his breathing until he calms]

“I’m breathing… One…two… one… two… Phew. I’m trying, baby… I’m trying. I’m just freaked out. I don’t believe in any of that psychic shit, I just… I don’t know. You’re the most important thing in my life, and I’m terrified of doing something to fuck this up. You have no idea how many times I fantasized about how this would go on the off chance it ever did happen.”

[Pause]

[Rex exhales a little, his large frame curled around you]

“I know you trust me… and I know we can talk about anything, but there are parts of me that I have to keep in check to make that work, Poppy. Like having to shove my biceps into a tuxedo for tonight.”

[Pause]

“Yeah, yeah, I know you think I look real handsome in it. You should be more worried about how many people I’m going to have to punch when they look at you in your prom outfit. You best have eyes for me only. Got it?”

[Pause <3]

[He blushes but it’s hidden by his impressive grump face]

“Hey… Don’t you go whispering sweet nothings in my ear. Your parents are a room over and you squeal if I purr in your ear too loudly.”

[Pause]

“Yeah, yeah… Go back to sleep, Poppy. I’ll see myself out after a bit but, don’t worry, I’ll see you tonight, yeah?”

[Pause]

[He sighs]

“Fine. A kiss goodnight for my needy little Poppy. Mwah. Now, get some rest you little dork.”

[It’s pretty easy to fall back asleep with him cuddling you. Even if he is cuddling a little too hard]

[Scene transitions to Prom / 14 hours later]

[SFX: Prom music and the gym doors opening]

[You walk in with Rex, holding onto his arm. He smiles at you warmly, though his smile wanes a bit as people mutter]

“Hmm… Guess Tank was right, Poppy. Looks like we’re the talk of the town, eh?”

[Pause]

“... Hey, um… You trust me, right?”

[Pause]

“Good. I have a bad feeling that they’re going to push us to be Prom King and Queen or whatever, and… I don’t think we should do it, OK?”

[Pause?]

[You take his hand and he’s shaking]

“I-I don’t know, I don’t know why, OK? It keeps giving me the same feeling as the dream earlier. Like if I don’t say something, if I don’t do something, or if I don’t do the right thing… I just don’t want you hurt, OK? I know you’re beautiful and you deserve to wear a tiara and be up there shining, but… I don’t know! I don’t know, I don’t know-!”

[You rest a palm on his chest and he exhales shakily]

“Sorry… C’mon, let’s get our pictures done. We can dance after, if you want, OK? This is your night, so I just want to make sure you have a nice time.”

[<3 Pause <3]

[SFX: Pics being taken and general prom goings]

“Pics done. Heh, even when I try and smile I look like a sarcastic shark. What do you think, Poppy? Think we look good?”

[Pause]

“Good. C’mon, let’s go and dance. I’ve been practicing.”

[Pause?]

“Well, yeah I learned to dance. This is important to you, right? I want you to have a good night with me… One you can remember for the rest of our lives. Y-Your life, sorry.”

[Pause]

[He’s not the best at it, but he has clearly made an effort to learn to dance with you]

[SFX: The music kind of trickling on by]

[Pause?]

“Huh? Do I want to get out of here? I don’t understand, I thought you were having fun?”

[Pause]

“You’re worried I’m not and don’t want my anxiety triggered? Aw, Poppy, c’mon… You’ve been looking forward to this for months, we’ve only been here an hour or so. Are you sure?”

[Pause]

“...Yeah. I did say I wanted to show you the adjustments I made to the van later. Um… OK, yeah. C’mon.”

[He takes your hand and you both walk to the parking lot outside]

[SFX: The music fading and van doors opening and closing]

“Climb on in, sweetheart. Yep. Here we go. Nice shag carpeting, a skylight to enjoy the rain coming down, a little heater for the cold, and some comfy pillows and blankets. Big enough to stretch, cozy enough to cuddle.”

[Pause!]

“Enh, it’s not that impressive. Pretty simple in terms of an engineering project. Flavio downtown lets me use his garage, provided I work on cars for him. The pay is pretty good, can’t complain. Made this in case I ever wanted to just… run. Take it and just travel the country. Do what I want. Maybe start up a shop that can do this kind of customization someday, you know?”

[Pause]

“Hehe, sure. Why not? If you want to be part of the business, why not. Just means you’ll be stuck with me for a bit longer… Come here. Lie on your back and look up.”

[SFX: Some shifting and rain hitting glass]

“Good timing. Let’s just flip the LEDs on and… rainbow rain.”

[The raindrops light up in bright, neon colors as the LEDs change]

“...It’s prettier than I thought it would be. I’ll note that for the ‘business’.”

[Pause]

“Oh yeah, we’ll make sick business cards with dinosaurs and alien biker chicks with chainsaws! And respectfully network at conventions, obviously.”

[Pause!]

[He laughs and puts an arm around you]

“Want to show mad disrespect to these expensive clothes by going out to the BBQ buffet? My treat.”

[Pause!]

“Cool. Before we go, though…”

[He turns to you and kisses you until you’re lightheaded]

“... If you tell anyone this, I’ll throw you back to that dumb, derpy bear, but… I love you. OK?”

[Pause]

“Good. C’mon, let’s go get properly fat, and then we’ll see where the night takes us.”
