A/N: This is my entry for the TT25. This is a pretty crazy thing I'm writing here. Its 25 chapters, 100 words each.

I will warn you, kids. This is slash, so if that's not your cup of tea, you might not like this. Also, there is some violence and sadness in here and it's not pretty. If you don't like that either, I suggest you go read something made of fluffernutter.

Prologue

"Get up", he said. "Get up!" He wouldn't stop yelling at me.

I was helpless on my side on the asphalt.

"Why are you doing this?" He swiftly kicked me in my stomach. My lungs deflated from the shock. Hearing him mutter 'I'm not gay', over and over hurt more than the boot pressing into my intestines.

I heard him sniffle, a sob vibrating in his throat. Even when he made my heart ache repeatedly, I knew that his actions were ones he couldn't control.

I still cared for him. And despite his relentless tantrum, I knew he did too.
