Once they were inside the school, Benjamin lifted Tommy in a bridal style, carrying him to his dormitory.
Tommy's body was trembling, both from the cold and the pain.
He had not worn any shirt when Benjamin took him all the way to the car, so he was still shirtless and wherever Benjamin touched ached as it was direct contact to his battered body.
Benjamin's dormitory was spacious and well-furnished, unlike the standard student accommodations which according to Benjamin wasn't even open to students.
He laid Tommy gently on the bed, making sure he was comfortable.
Tommy, still bewildered and in pain, watched Benjamin closely.
"What now, man?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Benjamin's expression tightened as he took in Tommy's defensive stance. He hated it! Who knew a kitty could be fierce?!
Benjamin sighed. "Just tell me the bums who did this to you."
