Chapter Text
(Look, I know there must be a lot of fics about how Sam and Max originally met, but here’s what I think. Take it as a Valentine’s present from me, to you. ❤️)((also, Sam is trans in my headcanon and his original name is Daisy-Bo))
As the sun shines bright above the elementary playground, the school bully laughs loud.
“Daisy! You’re not gonna ever get your lunch back! Hahahah!!” He says, running away with the aforementioned girl’s lunch bag.
“No! Stop! I needed that.” She cried after him, but got drowned out to a whimper. “Please…” Daisy-Bo crawled under a tree root and softly cried about her stolen food.
Suddenly, a sharp scream pierces the quiet schoolyard. And maniacal laughing. And the sounds of more children running and screaming. Daisy pokes her head out from under the tree and sees a small kid (her bully) beaten down with an even smaller anthropomorphic white bunny on top of him laughing while beating the kid mercilessly. Sharp claws meet human flesh, and teachers come running yelling. Eventually, the screaming stops and slowly becomes crying. The lunatic laughing bunny’s sounds are muted entirely as he’s moved inside the building to the principal's office.
The small dog tiptoes from her tree to follow the bunny’s path,but loses his track, despite knowing where the kid’s going.
“Thank you,” she quietly mutters as she makes her way back to her tree.
After the last bell of the day rings to signal the end of the school day, Daisy sneaks around to find the bunny again. When she finds him, she immediately notices he still has a splat of blood on his tummy.
“Hey,” she almost whispers to him. “You- you still have blood on you.” Daisy pokes the bunny’s tummy as he giggles.
“I know, silly. I kept it there.” He pokes Daisy’s tummy back with amusement. She steps back at this, knowing that she’s not very content with her weight.
“Oh, did you not want me to do that? Sorry.” He says shyly. The bunny adjusts Daisy’s bow impulsively.
“I like your bow, though. It’s a nice colour.” He runs off before she can say anything more, so she just stays there processing the interaction.
Soon enough, her mother pulls up to the school parking lot.
“Mama, I met someone new today!” Daisy beamed to her mom almost right after she got in the car.
“Oh, that’s sweet. Was it the bunny who attacked another kid at lunch? I got a call from the principal saying for all other students to watch out for him.”
Daisy stayed quiet for the rest of the ride home.
