Chapter Text
“Fag!”
Pain explodes in Yuri’s stomach then bursts in the side of his head when another punch connects to his cheek. Gravel embraces his face, digging into his skin, as Yuri falls to the ground. His mind swirls and for some odd reason, flickers of cartoons flash through his mind. He recalls the exaggerated violence before his dad tells him to stop watching. The characters seem to always go for the throat, and that’s exactly what Yuri does.
Yuri doesn’t understand why he’s the one sent to the principal’s office. When he returns home, he grabs a pair of scissors.
