ㅤ He plug his earphone on his ear with no sound nor music to produce. For the reason of pretending to be busy hearing something else when it was just for show. It's his way of escaping interaction in crowded places like School Canteen. It's not that he hates communicating with his schoolmates but rather hates the attention he gets, all eyes on him.

The gaze that sparks curiousity for him or the judgement that will never be a verdict on the line of his life, an unnecessary tittered thoughts of the people that draws a boundary that he was different, an outsider that does not belong in the institution.

Rimuru have been conscious of how the school treats him. In the eyes of bigot, a person like him is a stain on their stance. He was once a student that dreamt of the school life, having friends and eating lunch with them but due to him not meeting their own beliefs, he was isolated.

Rimuru was lost in thought that he almost didn't notice Diablo who sat next to him, sneering as his apple of cheeks reddens. "Mind if I sit besides you?" Diablo asked while arranging his lunch tray on the table. Rimuru rolled his eyes in disbelief and didn't give him a dime of his voice and acted that he didn't hear him. "Pfft, let's eat." sneered by the raven.

Diablo is his lover and to them, they believe that it's not their fault that they've fallen for each other and yet, an all-out boy's school can be quite harrowing in taking their side. Eversince their relationship was caught in the storage room, students and even teachers started avoiding them. Giving them the stares of peculiarity mixed with disgust.

To Diablo, it was not big of a deal for he is the one who ignores them. Other's arbitrary doesn't matter on him unless it's about Rimuru. However, it's not the same for Rimuru. It irks him how they're evidently cast off and how his lover seems blind on their situation. He have thought of this a dozen of weeks ago. How come they are treated indifferently when all they did is to love?

Normality doesn't incline that it's the basis of humanity. Those who failed to be a part of the aforementioned is prior upon the subject of suppressing them on their own beliefs and is obviously not abnormal. Thus, should be treated in a fair and acceptable way. Rimuru was in awe of his own decisions, so this was the result that can satisfy his psyche. He stand up and looked at his lover that was calmly eating his lunch, look at this male species chilling— that made Rimuru's head shook in surprise. Without a second, Diablo noticed him. There's a grain of rice left on the corner of Diablo's lips. If only this guy is not cute.

"I have no intention of being kept and continue receiving this ill-treatment. And you, Diablo. We have a lot of things to talk about when we're home. I can't believe that I've withstand this for a whole year." Rimuru grumbled and left the canteen without giving Diablo a look back who is now hurriedly following his lover, he surely is clueless.

To voice is to bleed— and Rimuru have been giving his blood and sweats in hopes to carry out his dedication of wanting to have equal rights. It wasn't easy. It took them 'till they've graduated in school to fully begin what he wanted to achieve. 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱.

Slowly meeting people who we're on the same page with them was consoling and soothing. Their misery will end this day. No one in this damn planet shall be subjugated. Albeit he happened to encounter such imbeciles as he move along with his plan, a perfect moment for Diablo to entasked with.

"Why don't you just not bother it like how Diablo did, it's not like you can please wh—" Gobta who was holding a banner was cut off by Rimuru.
ㅤ
ㅤ
"I am not pleasing them, Gobta. Be mindful of your words. Staying unbothered on a matter where you are being bothered is quite ridiculous right? When you scratch a plate, it will surely make noise."

Gobta changed his gaze to Diablo, "Nee, Diablo you got a good scolding too before?"
ㅤ

"I have heard Shion cooked last night and there were left overs, shall I call her and tell her that you don't want it to waste?"
ㅤ

"Stingy!" Gobta shouted. Rimuru who swiftly took glance in front of him, a crowd of people are gathered as they swayed their gleaming flags. Before, he was trying to escape crowded places but now, these thousands of voices are the key to free themselves.
