You Deserve It

When the bullied boys saw Eric fall to the ground, they could hardly believe it. A movie played in their heads, from when the bullying started shortly after they got off their bus to this moment. They looked at Klaus with gratitude and admiration, feeling safe at last, but still approached with trepidation.

"'T-thank you so much, Klaus!" One of them exclaimed, thanking him, and the others bowed slightly before him, looking at him with respect.

"You were amazing!"

"It really is! I've never seen someone from this place like that in person!"

"You're a better person than we realize when we hear about how amazing you are!"

Klaus got a little silly at the praise. "Ah! That was nothing, guys! I just did what anyone would do!"

"No, you are definitely our savior!"

"Ah~! Thanks, guys!" Klaus said with his hand on the back of his head, shyly.
