The Kings stayed completely still when the video ended. They were even holding their breath. But no one was more tense than Jonas. He didn't know how they would react. If they would be terrified or disgusted by him. Would Hugh look at him differently? He suddenly was terrified to see their reactions and placed and arm over his eyes.

It was funny to think that the animal in the video was now this docile and scared.

Hugh was truly surprised with what he saw. The raw emotions that Jonas felt and the breaking point he hit. He wanted to cry for the pain Jonas must have felt. His eyes turned and he saw a very silent Jonas laying on his lap with an arm over his eyes.

Hugh lifted the hand he was still holding and placed several soft kisses on his fingers, not caring who saw. Jonas flinched and moved his arm from his eyes, looking at Hugh with a look of disbelief.

"Hugh..." Jonas suddenly felt leery. The video just reminded him how his best friend betrayed him and was the source of his pain. But it was also such a low point, so how could they look at him the same? Jonas sat up and tried to move away, his face turning to stone again.

"Stop." Hugh suddenly said and leapt towards him. His movement caught bought of them off balance and they fell on the ground. Hugh pinned Jonas down on his back. "You are not putting up your walls again."

"Hugh, what are you doing?"

Hugh smiled warmly. "I am initiating my brilliant three step plan. First, I'm going to kiss you. Second, I'm going to tell you that video made me like you more, and possibly turned on. And third, you're going to tell me the name of every single person was in that room so I can fucking kill them."

He leaned forward and pressed his lips on Jonas'. Jonas felt a tremor through his body and electricity with the touch. He didn't feel butterflies like the stories, he felt a storm brewing inside of him. It was intense and insatiable.

The fear he felt fled like lightning and replaced with overwhelming relief and affection. He wrapped his arms around Hugh and started to return his kiss. His tongue brushed against Hugh's bottom lip, and he opened his mouth a little, allowing Jonas' tongue to slip through. His tongue caressed Hugh's, making him release a small growl of pleasure.

Hugh slowly pulled away and was breathing heavily. He kissed Jonas' cheek. "That video made me like you even more." He kissed Jonas' other cheek. "And I am really fucking turned on right now."

Jonas laughed and turned his head away. But Hugh pulled it back and grinned. "Now that we have completed step one and two, how about giving me those names, sweetheart?"

Jonas smiled back. It was a full smile and made Hugh's breath hitch and stare at him in a daze. "I think I did a pretty good job of fucking them up." Jonas said quietly.

Hugh woke up from his stupor. "Fine. I'll concede on the names, but that's only because I know what Lukas looks like."

Jonas sat up quickly, pushing Hugh back a little, so he was straddling Jonas' thighs. They were face to face and Jonas grabbed on to Hugh's hips, holding him closely. Jonas gave him a light kiss on the corner of his mouth. "Are you sure you're ok with what you just saw."

Hugh shook his head, making Jonas' heart drop for a moment. "I'm pissed. I really want to lay my hands on those bastards."

Jonas chuckled softly and kissed him again.

Hugh leaned forward and started to kiss Jonas' neck. "But I'm also curious about how many of those rumors are true. Do you also bite?"

Jonas let out a low hum. "Only if you ask."

Millan, Sam, and Rodgers stared at the scene with wide eyes, the video long forgotten. They always saw Hugh and Jonas joking and hugging each other. They jested, asking about their relationship status, but they never got an answer and assumed that if anything they were overly affectionate friends.

Millan was the first to recover. "We always knew you were a badass, but you seriously took out like 10 assholes, a few teachers, and held off security guards all while you had your stomach cut open. That's another level... I'll give you props... but I'll leave the kisses to Hugh."

The others laughed and nodded with agreement. Hugh smirked and kissed Jonas' forehead before pulling him up from the ground. They went back to their original position but this time openly holding hands. "So now we know why you were in the hospital, what happened next?"

Jonas tightened his grip a little. "I was there for a couple of weeks because... it was better for me to recover there. During my stay, I met a kid who was doing physical therapy, Brett. A good kid and wicked smart. Always had a book in hand and let me borrow a couple from his collection. But one day I went to help him with his physical therapy and was wearing my St. Vincent's hoodie. One look and he collapsed with a full blown panic attack. After realizing what caused it, I threw the jacket away and helped the nurses calm him down.

"It took another few days to build back the trust I lost because of that damn hoodie. He finally opened up and told me he was the kid that was kidnapped during the Hunt. Those fuckers tied him to a gravestone all night and beat the piss out of him, even breaking his hip. The school never found him, but instead of delivering him to the school and tying him to the flagpole, they left him in the graveyard. He stayed in that place for another night by himself until a groundskeeper found him. By that time, his broken hip was so fucked up that he couldn't move for weeks.

"He was getting better, at least I thought he was. And even when I was out of the hospital, I would join him for every therapy session. But one day, I showed up and he wasn't there. A nurse handed me his favorite book, The Book of Five Rings, and a note."

Jonas has memorized that note and still has it in the book sitting on his desk.

Jonas,

My favorite quote in my favorite book is: "Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men". It used to always give me strength. But now, I'm tired and victory has become bitter. Please be victorious every single day on my behalf.

Your friend

Jonas held in his emotions and let out a long breath. "Brett basically died in that graveyard on the night of the Hunt. It just took some extra time for him to exhale his last breath. But it was just long enough for him to show one broken soul the last bit of kindness he had in his heart before he left this world.

"After some digging, I found that he was the third suicide in the last decade because of this stupid fucking Hunt. So armed with this information and that video of being sliced with the bottle, I approached the school board and negotiated. I would not release any of this information nor report any bullying against me if they shut down the Hunts. We finally came to terms, and the Hunts were disbanded... But fuck... I was too trusting again."

Hugh was gripping Jonas' hand tightly. "I for one, really want to bash some faces in."

Sam grunted with agreement while the others nodded. They were all were burning with rage. They just learned about Brett passing away, but didn't know it was because of suicide due to the trauma he suffered. In fact, they never heard about the people committing suicide until Jonas mentioned it in the video they posted earlier. The school must have covered it up and kept it hidden.

They also noticed something Jonas said. He mentioned that he wouldn't report 'any bullying', meaning it was probably open season on Jonas after that decision was made to shut down the Hunts. Jonas endured god knows what because he thought he finally found a small victory on behalf of Brett.

Jonas cracked his knuckles. "Then let's call those motherfuckers over."

"Are we going to have another date night?" Hugh said with a cold laugh, ready for the fight.

A new video was posted on the Kings of Hawking's page and reposted by each king. It was only a few seconds long, but was already exploding on social media.

Hugh was leaning on Jonas in the center, while the others were sitting on the table behind them.

: I thought you wanted the Wolf Challenge, Jackson. Stop fucking around and come test out my bite.

: Bring your friends too. The Kings are waiting.

They attached their location to the post and even panned camera around to prove they were at the town center. It was recognizable to anyone who lived in the town so they could not lie.

It took less than ten minutes for the park to be surrounded by sports cars, all the headlights illuminating the five Kings who seem to not care about their arrival. Jonas was back to laying his head on Hugh's lap.

There were more people than the mall, but the five Kings were calm and ignored the approaching figures.

"Wolf! I'm here, you bastard." Jackson yelled out. There were five other large kids behind him that all looked like fighters. Lukas was standing next to him. When Hugh saw Lukas, he chuckled darkly.

"It's going to be a good night." Hugh said with a smirk, his eyes never leaving Lukas, making him shift uncomfortably.

Jonas got up and took off his jacket while the others followed suit. As he was putting it down, his back turned towards the mob, he heard Jackson rush towards him with a yell. He made a promise to never get caught unaware again, so learned how to defend his back.

Jonas rolled his eyes and spun on one leg and swung the other around with a high spinning kick. His heel cracked across Jackson's face.

Like he was hitting a wall, Jackson crumpled to the ground. Jonas froze with a perplexed look on his face when he didn't come back up. "I thought he was a fighter." He grumbled. "Fuck that was disappointing."

Hugh patted him on the shoulder. "I think you would have knocked me out with that kick, so don't feel down about that. There's still a good 40-50 heads to bash in."

Sam laughed. "Hugh's right. Let's go crazy tonight."

Hugh gave a wild grin and started to mimic his favorite movie line. "Warriors! Come out to play!"

Some from St. Vincent's already were running back to their cars, but for a many of them, it was too late. The Kings were angry and the night was young.
