Acknowledgements: I would like to thank all of the furs that have agreed to appear in this story, including my new mate, Rion Kagemon who for this story stars as Daniel Kanon. Guys, thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Manolo has been in hospital for twenty four hours now, it's the end of another school day and me and Danny decide to pay another visit to Manolo to see if there is any change, we arrive at his room and see the school counsellor, a brown furred wolf by the name of Bill Williams, sitting in a chair at Manolo's bedside.

"Hi Daniel, I heard that you got caught up in this, and this must be your friend Tyler?"

Daniel shook the wolf's paw and replied.

"Actually Bill, Tyler is more than just my friend"

I let out a gasp as I hear Daniel begin to divulge the fact that we are boyfriends to someone that as far as I was concerned was a complete stranger. I elbow him in the chest; he places a strong hoofed hand upon my shoulder.

"Tyler, relax love, this is Bill Williams, he is the school counsellor"

Bill continues where Daniel left off.

"And as such anything that you guys do or say will remain strictly confidential, as it is I too have things that I don't want going any further, which is part of the reason why I'm here"

A smile breaks out on Daniel's face as he realises what is about to be said, he beats the wolf to it.

"You are Principal Lions' mate aren't you?"

The wolf just blushed and nodded.

"Ok boys, so now you know. Daniel, I know for a fact that Dillon holds you in very high regard and I must say that from the dealings that I have had with some of your classmates, it seems that you are well liked throughout the school. Tyler, you are one very lucky young dog to have landed such a stud. Now guys, I'm sure that I can trust you both as far as the fact that this conversation never took place? And now to the other part of the reason why I'm here, Manolo, it's my understanding that you two have decided to try and befriend him, if his grades had been any lower than they are I would have said don't waste your time, however, his grades are such that if he was to fall in with the right set of friends, he could in theory get back to at least a B grade. So I'm giving you both my personal cell number to be used anytime day or night if you need help with Manolo, I really want him to become a success, and if he does, it will look very favourable on your records too. I will leave you both alone, but remember, keep me updated with how things are going"

With that, Bill left the room. Daniel and I pulled up our own chairs and settled down for what we thought would be a long night, an hour in though and we are both surprised to see the eyes of Manolo begin to slowly open, he looks at us and begins to shiver.

"Guys, please I will be a good guy I promise, just don't hit me again"

Daniel stands and slowly walks to Manolo's bedside and then places a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"Bro, relax, we're not the ones that did this, in fact it is thanks to me and Max Lightrave that you are in here, it was Tyrone Blackstock that was using you as a battering ram, but don't worry, he won't be bothering you or the school again"

With Daniel's calming hand on his shoulder, Manolo begins to feel better; I stand next to my new lover and tentatively stroke Manolo's head fur.

"Tyler you can stroke my fur without any fear, in fact I owe you a huge apology, sorry doesn't even come close to how I feel. I mean, I have been shitty towards you, I raped you, hell I even stole from you, and yet yesterday in that bathroom, you sat with me, helped me open up, and now today here you both are sitting at my bedside as friends or family would do, even my mother and father haven't come to see me so that tells me a lot"

I stop stroking Manolo's fur and head out of the room to let the doctors know that he is awake; I walk back in with a doctor following me.

"Welcome back to the land of the living Mr Sampaio, I need to do some checks on you so I will have to ask your two friends to leave for a while"

Daniel and I leave the room assuring Manolo that we will return.

<><><><><><><><><><><><> 

At Tyrone's house, he is in his bedroom lying naked on his bed; images of Manolo flash through his head and rock his body as he feels each of the hits against the lockers. After he manages to clear the images he leaves his room in search of his father.

Tyrone finds his father in his study and gently taps on the door, Tyrone's father looks at his son who is now standing there with his head hung in shame.

"So Tyrone, you have deemed it safe to leave your room, maybe another whipping with my belt will prove otherwise, or have you come to seek my forgiveness?"

Tyrone kneels on the floor and buries his head in his hands and begins to sob, his father slowly gets up from his seat and walks towards him, once in front of his son he offers his huge hand to help his son stand. Tyrone begins to speak through the floods of tears.

"Dad......I'm not........a bully................I'm not proud.....of what I did, I only did it.....to repay the guy.....for what he did to me. I know......that it is wrong to retaliate in such a way, but I just lost it.......and what is worse, the captain of my football team, Daniel, has dropped me from the team. I knew I had an anger problem, which is why I chose to play football.......I needed to get rid of my anger and thought I could do it on the field. I was doing well at it too, ok my grades have suffered, but I was beginning to feel happy, then Manolo attacked me and set me back into my angry ways"

Tyrone's father spoke in softer and gentler tones than he had before as he made his reply.

"Son, violence solves nothing, you at least know that much, I have always been able to read you so I know when you are lying and when you are telling me the truth. What I see now is a Rhino who towers above me in height and has muscle tone that would put most bodybuilders to shame, and yet I see you crying tears of remorse. Truth be known son, it killed me yesterday when I took my belt to your butt, but you can understand how me getting a call from Principal Lions whilst I was in the middle of giving a patient some very bad news pushed me too far"

Tyrone nodded solemnly and then looked at his father.

"Dad, I want to go and see Manolo in hospital, I want to apologise to him. I know that he will probably have someone from the school there with him, and I know that I will probably get some kind of beating from them, but this is something I have to do"

A smile breaks out on Tyrone's fathers face.

"Son, I will take you and I will be with you. If you can face what you are sure you have coming to you and just take it, you will make me proud"

Tyrone and his father head to the hospital and then to Manolo's room, his father knocks gently on the door and I look up. Daniel also looks up at the door and sees a Rhino standing there, he bolts from his seat ready to pound on the Rhino for having the audacity to come to the hospital, as he gets to the door, he realises that this Rhino is shorter, but still resembles Tyrone. Daniel opens the door and then sees Tyrone standing to the side.

"How fucking dare you come here, what, isn't it enough that you put him in here?, you have to come and gloat, I should put you in the next room"

Tyrone now stands in front of Daniel and takes the verbal bashing, this antagonises Daniel even more as he balls up his right hand to punch Tyrone with all of his force, the swing is about to be put in motion when Manolo stops him.

"Daniel, enough please there has already been too much blood spilt, your mate has been able to forgive me, you have even forgiven me, now I ask that you try to forgive Tyrone, as I have"

Daniel slowly lowers his hand but lets out a disgruntled snort and then stands aside and allows Tyrone to enter the room. Tyrone's head bows as he walks to the bedside of Manolo, again tears begin to well up in the Rhino's eyes as he gently sits on the edge of Manolo's bed.

"Manolo, I so wanted you to feel the pain that you put me through, and once I started I couldn't stop, but when I got home and after the strapping that my dad gave me, I lay on my bed and all I could see were the images of you being rammed into the lockers, it was almost like it was me being rammed into the lockers, I felt every hit, and that's when it finally dawned on me what I had done to you. I know that I don't deserve to live and I will understand if you ask my old football captain to escort me out, but before you do, let me say what I came to say, I'm so sorry that I took it too far"

Tyrone's dad now had tears in his own eyes as he laid a gentle hand on his sons shoulder. Tyrone stood and headed towards the door, only to be called back by Manolo.

"Tyrone, I too am sorry for what I did to you, for what it's worth I would like to ask you to be my friend. Until I met Tyler I hadn't had a friend so I knew no other way of living, but Tyler's friendship is infectious, and I now find that I want more of it"

A smirk plays across my muzzle as I lean across to Daniel and whisper to him.

"Well hun, I hate having to say it, but I told ya so"

Daniel lets out a huge sigh as he realises that he is not going to hear the last of this.
