Overprotective

Benjamin hums as he was sitting on the stairs, holding Tux who was back in his plush form. He smiles and then he feels something hit the back of his head, "Ow, what the-?" He turns to see Jackson, who pushes him off the step, "I stayed in the cellar because of you!" Benjamin stands up, backing away, "You got yourself in trouble. You punched me in the face and tried to rip Tux." Jackson pushes Benjamin hard, making him fall to the floor and kicks his side, "Listen to me, American boy....I don't like you being here. I know what I saw and you made me look crazy!"

He picks Benjamin up by his pajama shirt and punches his jaw, and kicks him with the heel of his foot on Benjamin's nose, making it bleed. Benjamin coughs, shaking and he backs away, and when Jackson was about to throw another hard punch, he gets pinned to the floor, feeling something sharp on his chest. He opens his eyes to see Tux in his monster form on top of him, his claws dug into his chest, growling. His The thread in his button eyes glow yellow and he snarls, all his sharp teeth showing.

"I warned you didn't I?" Tux gets close to Jackson's face, his teeth bared and his mouth drooling. Jackson whimpers, trying to escape but the cat had him down. Benjamin grabs Tux around his side, "Tux, don't... I don't want you to get in trouble. Please..." The cat was filled with anger, snarling at the whimpering bully underneath him. Benjamin pulls Tux, trying to move him, "Tux please....Are you listening to me?" Tux didn't hear him and with a quick swipe of his free hand, he leaves three deep scratch marks on Jackson's face that were near his throat. Jackson pants, tears falling down his face.

Tux smiles, and gets ready to swipe again until his head was forced to move and he was now looking at a crying Benjamin. Benjamin was hyperventilating as he tries to speak, "T-Tux please...d-don't d-do th-this...." Tux growls softly, but he shakes his head as he had flashbacks of all the times he had seen Benjamin cry, or was hurt. He started to remember that night when Benjamin's "father" knocked him out, and he roars and snaps out of it and gets off Jackson, and the boy runs away from the monster cat.

Tux pants and he looks at his claws, and it was covered in blood and he looks at Benjamin. He sits down and Benjamin hugs him, crying. Tux folds his ears back and he looks down as he holds his kid.

Benjamin wraps his arms around the monster cat, "Tux you're not like that...you're not a killer...." Tux pants, "B-Benjamin....I am a killer....you don't understand, I-" "No you're not! You're not a killer...." Benjamin shakes, tears flowing down his face, "You're not a killer....I know you not...." Tux shakes and he hugs Benjamin tight, and his mind races, "He doesn't know it was me....I don't want to tell him....I can't risk that...." He feels Benjamin nuzzle his chest and he lets the child embrace him.
