Idea of Him 💕 (Pico x Boyfriend SoftMod) FNF

[7] Mistakes Are Normal

Minutes before the bell was ready to ring, students such as him were one by one being handed their test scores as students brought up new topics on how others did on their tests. Some saying it'd probably be bad, while others explained they made sure to study decently. But, for Benjamin he made sure of it he gotten everything correct. Studying every single day once he got home. But, made sure to text Pico. 

It always was so comforting after a long, stressful study period, he was able to just bring up the most random topics with the ginger over messages. 

Pico would always send him good night messages as he'd always get overly excited over them. He loved to see him text him 'I love you's' daily when going to bed. Though, he never said them to him in real life when the two split to go home after walking. 

Soon a tall presence walked by his desk where he sat thinking as his ADHD got the best of him. Soon noticing a light white paper on it's back was sat on his desk as his teacher walked away to give out the other students their math scores. 

As Benjamin snapped back to reality, he'd blink twice while he gazed at the paper flipped on the blank side as he was confused, but didn't think much of it. 

As the painters right hand begun to flip it over without a trace of thought, his heart stopped as the pupils in his eyes became small while his eyes widen to the horrors of what he saw at the top right of his page in red. 

''𝗔 𝗕? 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗕+?'' Thought the painter as everything inside of his brain shut down as he stared at the page on his desk with a blank, yet depressing expression.

He swore he's done everything correctly. How did he mess up so bad to the point where he didn't even get a + for his B? Why wasn't it an A+ like it always was? Why wasn't it perfect-?!

While gazing over his answers towards the ones that were marked incorrect, he tried solving the situation with his brain but everything felt foggy. He felt so, stupid. His hands dug deep into the fabric of his pants uniform as he could hear a storm from his mind as he re-read everything, but couldn't understand what was wrong, and how he was marked off points. 

Before he could sort out anything with his lost brain, the bell rung as students who were already packed ready for their lunch period begun to storm out of the classroom with chattering of all sorts of topics with friends as Benjamin was left alone, in silence to collect his disappointing thoughts. 

No movement was made in his small, yet fragile body. Being as stiff as a wooden board while he was ready to shut down for the day. 

What would he say when he came home? He didn't want another cigar burn if they find out about their winter break test. Knowing he'd have to keep this on the down low for the rest of his life for High School or it's another beating for him. 

Without having a chance to cry and sorrow over his mistakes, what felt like his ears twitching heard a soft knocking from somehow outside of the classroom as his eyes hovered around the empty room till he begun to hear the sliding door opening with gentle force. Seeing as soft pale hands were clenched onto the side of them as the ginger hair and undone red tie walked himself in.

''You hadn't packed up yet-?'' He questioned, seeing as the struck painter was still seated in his assigned desk as he still look down at the page with disgust, and dread. 

''Uhm, I spaced out.'' Benjamin spoke up as he'd move his chair as he got up. Having space to himself as he grabbed his messenger bag from the ground as he was ready to trash the score he earned and call it quits. Till, soft rustling from a wobbly paper as his heart shook. 

''Eh-!'' Benjamin replied in horrors to the ginger reading out his scores without his permission.

''Holy shit,'' Pico said with raised brows. Too, his lips raising with a bright smile.
