[ WP ] bully loves victim . Both are boys .

It was supposed to be a joke. 
 
 He never expected it to have turned out like this. Little Danny, with his green eyes and dimpled cheeks and sun kissed freckles, was all smiles and laughter. He was so alive and joyous, everyone loved him. 
 
 How was he supposed to know about the beatings, the screamings, the rejection? 
 
 It was n't until recently that the homophobic abuse Danny suffered from his parents came into light, and by then it was no use. 
 
 He was n't the only one who pushed the boy into the lockers. He *was n't the only one* who went out of his way to call him a fag. 
 
 He did n't even know he was gay, honestly. 
 
 It was really all just a joke! He was like this with everyone! Besides, no one ever asked him how *he* felt. No one ever bothered to even question why an intelligent boy like Zack would ever taunt the other boy. No one bothered to even question why Zack had taken to paying so much attention to the spitfire in the first place. 
 
 So as Zack stared at the body on the pavement below, too shaken have to even stop the other teen from launching himself off of the seven story school building, he held his lips, still tingling from the gentle kiss of the other senior and thought maybe, just maybe, they were n't so different after all. 
 
 Slowly he began to let go of the railing as well.
