Mine and Aff's word challenge #2

---

Feeling very much like a child banished to the 'naughty step', twenty-two year old Kayden had been made to sit in the corner of the photography classroom, not allowed to interact with the class he had actually been hired to intern for. It wasn't as if he had done anything bad, and really it wasn't just his fault! Dart was to blame aswell but it seemed that just because the older male had to be off teaching a class he didn't have to be punished. With strict instructions to not even mumble to himself as he was perched atop the stool, brown eyes instead opting for glaring at what he was forced to look at on the walls of the room; by the time this class was over he would be able to perfectly describe the photo he was staring at, criticizing it aswell when his mind didn't drift to the reason behind his cruel and unusual punishment.

It had really started a long time ago... and had just excalated to a ridiculous scale. Apparently reffering to David, the head of photography as Dad was frowned upon by some of the more 'serious' members of staff. On top of that finding any opportunity to hold hands with Dart while going down the corridor simply to freak out the younger students apparently wasn't a 'mature' move to make. Then there had been national talk like a pirate day that had been taken too extremes, thus being dubbed by the male 'walk, talk, act and look like a pirate day'.

Unfortunately though today had 'really taken the biscuit' according to both David and the head of the fashion department. They had long since accepted that one of their male mannequins would never be returned to them and in the state it was in they didn't really want it. Kay couldn't understand why they didn't want him back, he was a dam fine mannequin after all what with the permanent marker tattooes that covered his body and the various piercings through his plastic. They should have felt proud too have him as part of the school body. Despite not wanting him back though, a joined decision on Dart and Kay's part, it was realised that Jeff the Mannequin needed to atleast socialize with his own kind, and apparently he wanted to take it one step further.

Now, people react in different ways to walking in on the sight of two humanoid, inanimate objects being put in a rather crude position. Some would laugh, some would try and act dignified and others, well others apparently got quite angry. The shouts that were emitted from the room caused quite a stir, causing both student and staff to congregate around the rooms entrance eager to work out what was going on.

"How dare you defile yet more of this departments objects?"
"Its not my fault! Jeff was lonely..."
"Its true, he was beginni--"
"You stay out of this Reyer!"
"Why can you not just accept him?"
"This mannequin is not a 'him' it is an object."
"How dare you say such things?! You'll hurt his feelings"
"He doesn't have feelings."
"You're all the same. Sexist... racist... whatever you want to call it. Why can't you accept his lifestyle? He just wants to be loved! LET HIM BE LOVED!"

With many more rants regarding the lack of love Jeff was being shown and how its no surprise he had to turn to the arms of a 'floozy' to get it, and more retaliation of him not being real, it could have gone on for hours. Hell it could have probably gone on for days as the tall male was not intent on backing down regarding the mortality of one of the 'greatest friends he had ever had'. As it was it was soon put to an end, when it seemed that both cursing and threats were going to be bought out on the males behalf, the dreadlocked form of his partner in crime took a stand, arms wrapping around the now quite worked up intern, dragging him through the crowds and back to his own department, promising he would bring Jeff to him as soon as he was done getting what would more than likely be little more than a bollocking from David.
