Hikigaya would bluntly admit that he was a loner. However if asked if he was ever bullied he would also bluntly say no.

Hayama learned that one of those two statements were not true. Since he'd asked Hikigaya to go with him to Chiba with his old middle school classmates he'd learned more about his middle school life.

In his opinion the other had been bullied. Ruthlessly. Who laughs at a schoolmate when getting an award!

As for high school, Hayama at first would have said the other wasn't bullied.

During their first year, Hachiman in the beginning would be left alone. He was a loner and didn't associate himself with others or any clubs. But throughout the year he had join a club and participated in activities. He had placed a spotlight on himself and his unusual ways. By the end of the year he had went over the line a few times.

People talked and people began to learn more about the unknown Hikigaya. The story of him and Sagami went through the classes like wildfire. Some people grew upset at this, especially over the fact that he had never apologized.

But after time passed, Hayama thought it was water under the bridge. Life was going on its usual routine, until he noticed that Hachiman never came back to class from lunch one day.

He noticed when class was over that his bag was taken by Totsuka. This one moment was all it took for Hayama and Yuigahama to look up from their group's conversation.

It was as if someone opened the blinds to a dimly lit room that Yuigahama and Hayama were sitting in.

After that day, they started watching the other from afar. Hayama noticed the other was getting more withdrawn. Even around Yuigahama and Yukino.

He knew most of the trios' antics, and how Yukino sometimes said cold things to Hikigaya. But the other day while helping one of their clubs activities, was the first time her words seemed to actually hit him.

He had complained loudly about time and how he wanted to go home to his family. Yukinoi heard this and sighed coldly and said. "Would they even notice your absence?""

His usual cold dead fish eyes flashed with hurt. But he remained silent and simply just moved to start on the next task. Yukino didn't say another word to him and actually looked guilty.

Hayama continued to watch him from afar. He didn't dare talk to him about what he was worried about.

Hachiman believed the bullied had to give their consent to feel bullied. Yuigahama and he however began to talk about what they feared. Their conversations overlapped into the group's hearing and soon they too began to glance at the loner.

They tried to hush the two about how Hikigaya didn't care about other's opinions. He was too weird for that. But the day Hikigaya didn't return to class was the day the entire group started to fully look at the other.

They saw how he was arriving right at when the tardy bell rang. How he rarely looked at them anymore from afar. To many times, he seemed to be lost in his thoughts only to be brought out by a flash of hurt coming across his face.

His defenses that held strong for too long, were slowly falling and they were afraid what would happen when it finally crumbled.

Im sorry I just wanted a bullied Hikigaya fic so badly! So the next chapters are going to be where some significant characters see Hikigaya being bullied and realizing they dont know as much as they thought they did of him.
