Chapter Text
Donald begrudgingly sits in his freshman biology class, ready for the day to finally end.
A scared looking freshman sits next to him. “Hi,” the kid greets with a smile.
Donald nods in response.
The freshman fidgets idly. “I… I don't really have any friends. Will… will you be my friend?” He asks.
Donald looks at him.
The kid has neat dark hair, and big brown eyes.
Donald looks away. “What's your name?”
The kid looks at him for a moment, then answers. “Benjamin.”
“Donald.” He offers in return. “What do you do? You in any clubs or whatever?”
Ben lights up. “I'm in theater! Most of the other theater kids think I'm annoying, but I love it!”
Donald nods. “I love actors.” He says, smirking a little.
Ben rubs his neck. “I… I love acting.”
Donald just looks at his phone. “I love that for you, Benny.”
Donald goes through the rest of the school day, not paying the smallest amount of attention to anything. Especially not biology.
By the time the school day ends, he's thoroughly over the school year.
Bill pulls him aside as he's heading outside.
Donald tries to protest, but decides to hear Bill out.
Bill sets his hand gently on Donald's cheek. “Listen, Donny,”
Donald smacks his hand away. “Don't touch me, Bill.”
“Donny, come on. I can't dump,”
Donald already stopped listening. He went this long without knowing the name of Bill's girlfriend, he's not learning it now.
Bill realizes Donald isn't listening, and tries something else to get his attention. Bill pulls Donald into the bathroom, gently setting his hands on Donald's waist. “If you don't want to listen to me, why don't you shut me up?”
Donald's face goes red, but he tries to keep composure. “Bill, we can't. Not here. And Elon and your girlfriend will get impatient-”
“We'll be quick, Donny. It's you.”
Donald is about to say yes, when Elon steps in.
He just stares at the two.
Donald can't look at Elonx- he knows Elon is going to cause a scene. So he won't humor him with his gaze.
Then, Elon simply steps closer.
Donald shoots him a confused look, eying him.
Elon looks at Bill.
Bill takes a step back from Donald.
