amazonqueenkate, who was chatting with me when I laid down the basics. Mike Cutter, in high school, was probably an awkward kid, and the only person who really got him was his mock trial coach, Mr. McCoy. If you're not connecting the dots yet, you may want to get off the trolley. In short: High School AU, because it can be done.

“Slow down!” Lupo yells, arm shooting out to block a guy as he comes shooting down the hall.
“Hey! Watch it!” The guy gives Lupo a dirty look. “I didn’t do anything.”
“You were running,” Lupo says evenly.
“Was not.”
Lupo smirks a little. “I saw you running.”
“Yeah? You and who else?” The guy shakes off Lupo’s arm and shoves against his shoulder.
Lupo stumbles back and bounces against the wall. He holds up his hands as the guy advances. “Calm down, buddy. You just need to walk, not run.”
“I’m already running late, and then you get up in my face. Just because you’re Van Buren’s little pet-“
And suddenly the guy is getting dragged sideways, and all Lupo can see is the top of Ed’s head and the anger in the guy’s face. Lupo can only watch as Ed manhandles the guy against the opposite wall and holds him there with a hand to his shoulder.
“You okay?” Ed’s panting and his eyes are a bit wild. “Lup? You okay?”
“I…yeah,” Lupo mutters and can’t seem to look away from the tense line of Ed’s upper arm. “He was just-“
“He was being a dick.” Ed says it to the guy. “Now apologize.”
The guy sneers at Lupo. “Sorry you’re Van Buren’s pet.”
Lupo can’t move fast enough to keep Ed from bouncing the guy against the wall. “Ed, dude, cut it out.”
“Apologize,” Ed says again, his eyes boring holes into the guy. “And do it right.”
The guy looks mildly frightened, and he blinks repeatedly at Ed before looking at Lupo again. “Sorry, man.”
“Sure,” Lupo says and grabs at Ed’s wrist. “Now let him go.”
Ed releases the guy obligingly and watches him hurry away down the hall. “Dick.”
Lupo stares at Ed for a moment and only snaps to his senses when Ed stares back. “The hell?”
“He was swinging at you.”
“Was not.”
“Was too.”
“Was not.”
“Was too.”
“He shoved you.”
Lupo shrugs. “I’m a hall monitor. I get shoved.”
“That is so not cool.”
The way Ed says it, like he is honestly offended, all Lupo can do is blink. “It’s…it’s okay.” He shifts a little when Ed keeps staring at him. “What?”
Ed shakes his head. “Nothing.” He looks down. Lupo’s hand is still on his wrist. “I’m not gonna hit anybody.”
Lupo looks down and pulls away his hand, shoving it in his pocket and backing away. “Yeah. Sorry.”
“It’s,” Ed looks down at his shoes and worries his lower lip. “It’s okay. I just…he shouldn’t have messed with you.”
Lupo can’t fight back his grin, crooked and wide across his face. “Dude. Hall monitor.”
“Yeah.”
“And you’re late.”
Ed gives Lupo his best grin. “Free pass?”
“Do you even-“ Lupo shakes his head when Ed just grins again. “Of course not.” He sighs. “Fine. Go.”
“You rock, Lup.” Ed thumps him on the shoulder with the side of his fist and heads down the hall. “See you at dinner.”
“See you.” Lupo watches him walk away. He takes his hand out of his pocket and rubs his fingers together. It doesn’t stop the tingles that are still sparking off all over his body.
