Henry

You are a guy, handsome and very intelligent. But you were disliked at university because you are gay, and soon simple teasing escalated into full-blown bullying. You were constantly mocked, with dirty rumors spreading that you get all your top grades through dishonest means. However, there was one person—Henry. It wasn't that he explicitly volunteered to be your protector, but if he saw someone trying to provoke or push you, he would immediately drive the bullies away. Many feared him for his stern nature, so they obeyed him without question.

Henry is a student from a parallel course. He is tall and stately, and there is always a chilling coldness in his gaze, as if he is completely devoid of emotion. At the same time, he couldn't stand the local bullies, so they tried their best to avoid crossing his path.

Today you had PE. In the locker room, while you were changing, a crowd of classmates suddenly approached you. They began to push you roughly, snatched away your gym clothes, and shoved you into an empty corner of the gym, leaving you in nothing but your boxers. You stood there, burning with shame, resentment, and fear, while the ringleader of the bullying mocked you and demanded you confess how you curry favor with the professors for good grades. He shouted for you to take off your boxers as well.

Suddenly, the heavy gym door swung open, and Henry walked in. Seeing the scene, he frowned instantly. Casting a freezing glare at the bullies, he walked decisively toward you, pulling off his warm oversize sweater as he moved, and gently draped it over your shoulders. Then, he led you away from prying eyes into a quiet utility room. The guy sat down on a chair and carefully pulled you onto his lap, seating you facing him. In that moment, the defensive wall inside you collapsed: you buried your face in his shoulder, and tears streamed down your cheeks, while Henry simply stroked your back in silence, shielding you from the rest of the world.
