*zaida was drawing during lunch until the popular girl name Amber came and threw her sketch book*
Amber:"stop f*cking acting like a hipster you f*cking whore!"
*all the firs around her started laughing and circled around the two*
Zaida: "look im s-sorry... I won't act like that..." *she says not knowing what she did wrong*
Amber pushes zaida "oh please!!"
-
Acon stepped between Zaida and Amber. Without warning, Acon brought back her fist and sent it flying forward, catching Amber in the jaw. "Back the f**k off." She spat on Amber's bruised face.
-
*amber punches acon making her fall down* "back off b*tch!!"
*she pushes zaida as the other girls surround acon laughing some kicking her*
*zaida knew that she want suppose to use her martial arts moves in school but Amber was hurting her and other people so zaida had no choice and locked Amber in a rear naked choke (yes it's called that I don't know why lol =~=) as every one sees Amber struggle and finally get weaker from loosing oxygen they yell at zaida 'your gonna kill her! Stop!
'Oh AMBER!'
*zaida holds her still until Amber passes out zaida pushes her to the floor and grabs her flannel and her Bernie and sketch book she then ran off, everyone ignores zaida and acon and surround Amber that was on the floor out cold*
-
Acon rummaged through Amber's bag, taking all the money and electronics she could. While she was out cold, Acon also took her shoes and any clothing she could. She ignored all the jeers from other students as she calmly walked away with Amber's belongings.

-
*zaida hid away thinking the teachers would find here and suspend her so she stayed behind the pillar eating and drawing*
-
*Gav'riel spots Zaida and moves towards her,adjusting his scarf*
-
*she continues to sketch a picture but notices gav'riel and gets scared so she tries to ignore him hoping he wasn't a popular kid at school*
-
*He says in his strong arabiac accent*"Aye,no ma'am i am not a bad guy"
-
"Oh... Good.." *she says with relief and relaxes herself and her ears that were down go back up feeling better*
-
*He looks at her with a friendly smile*"You sure taught amber a lesson right?"
-
*she nods* "yea but I didn't want to do that..." *she looks up* "but she can't stop messing with me so I had to do something eventually.."
(Gtg goodnight)
-
James was at the corner table with his friends when the fight broke out. During the fight the group was laughing because this wasn't something new to go on. Whenever zaida put amber in a choke hold, however, the group fell silent. "Wow, never thought that zaida girl had it in her." The group continued eating like nothing had happened.
-
Fredric sat on the floor against a wall, having been kicked off of the table he was previously on, no one usually sat with him anyway so him being alone and sitting on the floor was common for him. He sighed and began eating his packed lunch.
-
Thomas sat there on his laptop, when some girl asked if she could sit where he was. He could tell she wasn't one of the 'in' clique by the way she carried herself, so he obliged. His laptop was running low on power, anyways. So he looked for a nearby wall outlet, folded up his computer, and walked over to it.
Frederic was already sitting there, though. So he just sat next to him, plugged in his laptop, and resumed playing on his laptop without a word.
-
Fredric looked at Thomas, wanting to talk to him, no one had ever willingly sat next to him before due to the rumours going around that he was gay. He dismissed the idea of talking and went back to eating, Thomas most likely didn't want to talk to him anyway.
-
Acon walked into the lunch room she sat at a table with crossed legs and munched on an apple.
-
"Cheeki breeki iv damke!" The bandit yelled, as he blasted him in the face for the twentieth time. He would have to quit for a bit before he broke something.
"Hey." He said to Fredric, not knowing anything about the rumors that he was gay. He wasn't very in tune with such things, anyways.
-
Fredric looked around. "Umm... Are you talking to me?" He said quietly, almost mumbling.
-
Acon looked about the cafeteria for a teacher before she popped an e-cig in her mouth and smoked until its power went out.
-
"Don't see anyone else I could be talking to." He says, rolling his eyes
-
Fredric smiled slightly. "Umm... Hello..." He said, still almost mumbling.
-
"I'm thomas."he said, remembering when he was like this "Don't believe I know you."
-
"I am... Fredric, the laughing stock of this school." He sighed and closed the lid of his lunch.
-
He gave a short, sardonic laugh and said "everybody's a laughingstock around here, friend. You've just gotta get used to it."
-
"Sounds like fun, getting used to being laughed at by a society that doesn't understand the importance of difference. This place is one of the many reasons the world is being run into the ground." He stopped and sighed. "Sorry, I got a little carried away."
-
"No," thomas said "you're right. This society's being run into the ground. That's why you've got to find a good,dependable rock to stand on. For me, that rock is this." He finishes, pointing at his laptop
-
"If i brought my laptop it would get smashed, I'm not allowed to have a hobby in this school." He thought about when he brought his iPod, they beat him up and stood on it.
-
Name: Dubaku
Age: 17
Grade: 12
Personality: Sarcastic, kind of a jock, opinionated, don't take nothin from nobody, but mostly chill.
Hobbies: Snowboarding, Lacrosse, body building.
-
Acon played with her camera, changing the f stop, adjusting aperture, etc. Etc. The end of her ecig glowed blue as she inhaled and light mist exited her nostrils as she exhaled.
-
*zaida was finally done and jumped to her feet and slammed her sketch pad to the floor* "YES!!"
-
Fredric jumped slightly at Zaida's exclamation.
-
*Dubaku walks down the hallway with a few of his friends and notices a sophomore slam her sketchpad to the floor, he then joins his friends in a brief laughter*
-
*zaida saw some people stare and sat back down embarrassed and opened another page and started drawing a different picture*
-
Fredric stood and slowly walked over to Zaida. "A-are you ok?" He speaks in his usual quiet voice.
-
*she says quietly* "yes" *and nods when she replies*
-
Acon put her neon hair into a messy bun before she turned in her seat to watch the other students. She took a few choice pictures. Some students noticed her and posed, others didn't, some even flipped her off which made her smile and flash a picture anyway.
-
Fredric nodded and kept his usual mumbly voice. "O-okay... I'm sorry i-i bothered you." He turned around and started walking back to his previous spot on the floor, slowly.
-
"It's okay.. Your weren't bothering me.." *she colors the eyes*
-
Dubaku and his friends go into the senior's courtyard, where there are four flat screen TVs, two with PS4s hooked up, two set to sports channels, a few large sofas and lounge chairs* Thank you government for giving this school a huge grant towards improving this courtyard. *he said to himself* Man, they went all out.
-
*zaida went to class early and sat down* "I hate psychology..." *she complains*
-
Acon walked past the courtyard and shook her in disappointment. "Wow. So many other things we could have used that money for." Acon took a few pictures, planning to write an article about in the school's paper.
-
"You know," thomas said, getting up as he heard the school bell "we should talk more. What class do you have next?"
-
Fredric raised an eyebrow. "Psychology... Why?"
-
"Ah. Didn't take psych. Bummer. After that I have English. You?"
-
"Same..." He replied.
-
"Cool!" He says, smiling "what teacher?"
-
*he hears the school bell* Aw, really? *he gathers his things* Man, I really don't wanna go to AP physics today.
-
"Miss Munson"
-
"Cool!" He says, patting him on the shoulder "see you there?"
-
"Umm... Okay but, are you sure you want to hang out with me? There's some rumours going around..." He looks at Thomas, worried that the rumours would start involving him.
-
Yo, let's go, people, V-I-S comin' through, Very Important Seniors comin' through. *he says as he gently moves people in the halls off to the side*
-
"Pfah!" He goes "I don't give a damn about the rumors. Not like they like me very much, anyways."
-
*zaida listens to sunlight from modestep as some student walked in she puts her head on the desk hoping they wouldn't talk about earlier*
-
Koki was about ready to slam her head into a wall. She was sitting in the school library during her off period with her Anatomy and Physiology book wide open and notes strewn everywhere. She let out a hideous and loud sounding groan. "Why did I think it was good idea to skip this class? Now I'm so far behind." She stated before being shushed by the librarian
-
Trig was easy as hell. So it was boring as hell. So naturally, thomas was 'taking notes' as the teacher taught something about some waves. He usually banks on the fact that his teacher, mrs. Molina does a review before every test. He's done that so far, and he has an A in her freaking class! Much better than his math teacher last year.
-
Fredric sat at the back of his psychology class, as usual no one was sat near him. When the bell eventually rung Fredric left and two male foxes pushed him into a corner. The foxes punched him in the ribs making him gasp for air and fall to his knees.
They started kicking him. "F*cking gay c*nt!"
-
*zaida raised her hand and told the teacher she wasn't feeling good and got a slip to the nurse office and got all her items she then walks to the end of the school and sat down listening to music hoping she could get away with skipping class*
-
Thomas was heading to his English class when he saw Frederic getting the tar kicked out of him. He'd seen this multiple times before, and on no occasion had he actually done anything. But now he'd talked to him... He felt he had to help for some reason
"You'd best not do that." He said to the burlier one
-
The heavily built fox turned. "Why not? You this puff's boyfriend or some'ink?" He smirked.
The other fox knelt down and started punching Fredric in the stomach and face.
-
"I fail to see why that matters. If you are so bellicose that you pick fights with random passerby, I believe that you should be stopped."
-
"Y' not denying it." The heavy fox chuckled. "If ya really don't want the s*it beat out of ya, sling ya hook."
-
"Oh. I don't want the shit beat out of me. But then again, I'll bet you don't want your throat slit."
-
Acon passed the scene with a raised brow. "Boys, boys. Is there really any need for all this violence?" She said with a calm smile, sauntering up to the group.
-
The heavy fox snarled at Acon. "Shuddup b*ch! ya point would only matter if you were layin' on ma bed with ya legs spread!"
The other fox stopped beating Fredric and started going through his backpack.
-
Acon laughed. "Learn proper English first, then I might consider even looking at you like a human being."
-
"Right." Thomas says, rummaging through his pockets, only to pull out a cellphone "you see these?" He said, showing him a picture of various different types of knives "made them myself. And if you don't stop, I will go home, grab... This one." He points to a rather vicious looking curved blade "and slit your throat. Then you'll die of blood loss rather quickly. Within a minute, if I am correct. And in your last fleeting moments, choking on your own blood, you'll see my face. And I'll be smiling."
-
"Never mind 'you'll be smiling', you'll probably be blowin' me ya f*ckin' gay boy!" The heavy fox laughed and kicked Fredric once more in the ribs.
-
Acon took her camera from around her neck and swung it at the heavy fox's face. She straddled him as she repeatedly beat him over the skull with the camera. Hard enough to harm, but not enough to kill.
-
The heavy fox put his paws over his face. "Ah, s*it b*ch, ya must really want me to f*ck ya!" He rolled over so that he was on top of her. "'ow does that sound?"
Fredric mumbled behind his paws. "S-st... op... It." He coughed. "G-get... Off... Of... Her."
The other fox kicked him again. "Suttap!"
-
Acon winked and puckered her lips under the fox before she sat upright and latched into his face with her teeth. She twisted and mangled the fox's face, turning them around so she once again was on top.
-
The fox clasped his face in pain. "Ahhh! S*it me face! A can't see!"
-
Acon stood, satisfied with the damage she had done. She then moved to help Fredric to his feet.
-
Thomas pulled what he called a 'shank pen' from his pocket. It was a large, steel thing that he had sharpened himself. For self defense. He then proceeded to drive it into the back of the fox beating up Frederic.
-
*Dubaku notices the drama goin' down, and immediately recognizes the burly fox, and shakes his head* I knew Karma would bite him in the ass eventually. *he moves Thomas out of the way* Okay, kid, I think ya proved your point there. *he looks back at the fox* You best start runnin'
-
The heavy fox rolled around the floor, clutching his face. "F*ck, me face!"
The other fox quickly helped the heavy fox to his feet and then quickly shuffled away with him. "It's okay... I'll take you to the nurse." He turned to the group. "I'll get you lot done for this!" He continued to leave.
Fredric, aided by Acon, stood. "T-th... ank... You."
-
" you okay?" Thomas says, moving to help him walk "let's get you to the nurse."
-

Grade: 11
Personality: Dry, sarcastic
Hobbies: yet to be developed...silly new characters.
-
((I don't see why not!))
-
((Yea anyone can join :3))
-
((Join us~))
Fredric limped a little. "I-I'm... Fi... ne"
-
"No." Thomas says "you're not. Now let me help you to the nurse's."
-
(((I love these forums. Also it's midnight here - aim for two am, Enigir! Yeah!)))
Aaron walked into the main area with his satchel of books by his side. The eleventh grade transfer student gazed cooly around. Furs of all species were doing their thing. Bit actually sure where he was it what time it was he leaned against a wall and waited for something interesting to happen...
-
*he puts his hand on Fredric's shoulder* Yo, li'l dude, you look like you could definitely use some protection
-
*zaida falls asleep until getting picked up by the arm by the teacher and scolded at for not being in class she was then walked over to her english class and sat her down still yelling at her zaida ignored them and sighed waiting for the super visitors to leave when they finally do she puts her face to the desk no wanting to do anything*
-
Fredric limped into his English class, he kept his hand over his stomach. His face was bloody and bruised and his hand was wrapped in bandages as he walked passed, some of the children mumbled and giggled. He sat down slowly and sighed.
-
"Oh hell!" He went, cursing to himself. He had endangered his academic career, after all. He'd stabbed a kid.... As he walked to English, he formulated a plan to salvage his future. He didn't regret standing up for the kid... But he would have to act accordingly. "Look," he whispered, sitting next to Frederic "I'm going to be sent to a councillor's sometime soon, probably tomorrow. and I have a favor to ask you."
-
Fredric struggled to speak. "W-wh... at is... It?" He whispered in another mumble.
-
"I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend." He said "that way I can tell them I tried to save you. And they'll be all PC and shite, and they'll let me off semi-Scott free."
-
Fredric blushed. "Umm... Okay..." He tried to hide his embarrassment. "Are you...?"
-
*zaida moans and sits up seeing a random fur stand in the way of the board* "could you move please" *she says quietly so she could do the warm up before the teacher arrived*
-
"Y-yeah..." He mumbled, scratching the back of his neck
-
*the male fur turned around eye balling zaida* "aren't you the girl who beat up Amber?"
*her eyes widen* "uh... I..."
*he walks closer* "you are!! Amber wants a rematch after school.."
-
"Is this... Are you...?" Fredric raised a confused brow.
-
He shrugs "it could be if ya want it too. This would be a first for me... But we could see how this goes!"
-
Fredric nodded shyly. "O-okay..."
-
"Right..." He said, scooting his chair over "I think this'll be good for the both of us." He finished, giving him a somewhat discreet hug
-
(its not too late for me to join in is it? )
Name: Animus Shiro
Gender:Male
Age:17
Grade:11
Personality:Extremely shy, quiet, caring, naive, airheaded at tmes
Hobbies:art, writing, reading, music, acrobatics
Extra:Animus is usually bullied for his girlish qualities as well as his smallness, he stands at a whopping 4 feet and 7 inches. Most just assume he is younger than his actual age. He wears glasses and is usually seen reading in class. His grades are alright but he still worries about not doing good enough.
-
(((Never too late to join a fun RP man...only serious RP requires formalities and such. Also I dunno what to post next.)))
-
(aw yeah!)
Animus sat in the far corner of his English class, his footpaw tapping against the floor. His ears pricked up as to listen to the nearby whispers, "Such a girl... why doesnt he just admit it already?" Hearing this he buried his face in his book and frowned. "im not a girl...." He blinked a few times trying to stop from tearing up.
-
Aaron frowned as he leaned on the wall and tossed a glanced at one of the English rooms. It seemed annoyingly rowdy. It was likely filled with lower graders. It had to be - he couldn't stand the thought of inanity coming from his own grade. He frowned. He'd heard the place was filled with delinquents from an old man in the shoe store by the edge of town. Were they true...?
It was probably gonna suck finding out, he thought irritably as the noise from the nearby classroom continued.
-
Animus looked back up to see the frowning jackal he thought that he must be from a higher grade considering his composure and look, he tilted his head slightly and pushed his glasses back up his snout as to get a better look. The reason frown was obvious, no one in class would keep their mouth shut long enought to even hear a book drop to the floor. Animus kept staring with a puzzled look on his face.
-
The nine tailed demon fox glanced up with his slitted eyes and immediately found himself being stared at by a...girl...with glasses. Was she a girl? She kinda looked not so much androgynous as both, depending on where one focused.
Aaron looked at the ears. From that perspective, she was definitely female. But stare at her nose long enough and she looked like a guy. He flicked an ear as a more pressing concern ailed him: whoever that person was, the person was his age. Most likely his grade.
"Oh, damn." Aaron huffed. Now came the difficult decision: go find the headmaster or intrude halfway through class?
The handsome fox blinked as he thought, staring all the while at the dumbstruck gender bender.
(((I hope Aaron's opinion isn't too blunt. I've been writing with Alastair Randomtail and AJ Shisa for too long - I love the tall, dark, handsome and blunt types... - Enigir Shosa.)))
-
(((oh no its totally fine! i actually was kind of hoping for something along those lines.)))
Animus, being the airhead he was at times, only just realized that the demon fox was staring back at him. His face went bright red with embarassment, he quickly ducked behind his book again. He was quite good looking, Animus thought. And whats more is that the fox seemed to keep looking his way. "Oh what do i do?" the small wolf panicked
-
"Oh, what do I do?" Aaron huffed irritably. After minutes he decided that considering how long it was taking him to mull things over He might as well just wait for the end of class.
That kid with the glasses...would she - he? Be of any use? Perhaps this one could tell the transferred fox some things about the town. About the school. He stared further, hoping the intensity of his gaze might spark some interest and cause the fur to approach him.
-
Animus contemplated on wether to rush out of class as soon as the bell sounded or to suck it up and approach the attractive demon fox. His tails, even his stare seemed to pull Animus in. It was as if his only option were to talk to the fur. "oh god just dont mess up you goof..." Animus said to himself, he occasionally peeked from behind his book to look at the fox again. He then looked to the clock, only a minute or wo was let before class ended. Animus gulped
-
Aaron raised an eyebrow. The girl was having a panic attack by the looks of things. He chuckled quietly and drew his phone from under his long blue scarf like gun. He started tapping away on it as he waited.
The bell sounded and people started passing by. Someone called him 'Francis' as he walked by. Was it the blue scarf, grey shirt and red pants that made him look like a flag? He frowned deeply and watched the door of the room opposite him.
-
Animus got up and made his way to the door, no wait... the fox. His mind kept flip flopping, he eventually found himself getting closer to the fox as he heard the insult one of the students threw out so carelessly. He knew that talking to the Fox was the right thing to do now, he stood in front of the fox's desk and smiled shyly, situations like this aways caused his voice to go up a pitch, as if his voice didnt sound feminine enough, "Um... H-Hi... you seem... new. M-My name is..." he stoped mid-sentence as he looked down he was wearing a skirt, he totally forgot that he was given a girls uniform at the start of the year. He eventually got a guy uniform but his pants were dirtied from a rather gruesome prank the other day. He was too tired to notice and put the skirt on by mistake. His mind was in full panic mode, but he tried to keep cool and continued, "My name is Animus... but i usually get called Ani"
-
Aaron put his phone away and smiled as disarmingly as possible. Unfortunately this smile tended to be incredibly attractive as well.
"Hello, miss Animus...? My name is Aaron Blade. I'm new in town. Naturally I have questions. First, whereabouts is a good place to look for work. Second, are the rumours of delinquency here true? Third...how does one navigate around here? And is there a student services desk around here?"
Aaron stowed his phone in his shirt pocket below his scarf and waited patiently. He wondered just how much he would have to piece the answers he received together.
-
Animus knew he would be called miss and felt a bit overwhelmed with the questions but he blushed at the dazzling smile the fox gave which seemed to calm the wolf a bit "u-umm... work is fairly easy to find... the school offers a few things to do.. but outside of school you can find a few restaurants for hire. The rumors are true... and some students are victims of harmful pranks... including me. Navigation is just a self taught thing... we do have student services. I actually would be happy to show you around if youd like Mister...?"
Post Merge: October 28, 2014, 08:28:39 AM
hed already forgotten Aaron's name... and his airheaded repuation lives on!
-
"Blade. Aaron Blade." He sighed, but nonetheless projected a helpful air. Aaron wondered about getting work in a restaurant. Or a cafe - cafe work appealed to him.
"Lead the way then, nameless lady." Aaron glanced around with his scarily sharp eyes before looking ahead and adjusting his satchel. As he did so, a piece of paper fell out. A drawing.
Aaron gazed with horror at the picture. The shirtless but scarfed Aaron blade wearing a light muddy brown exorcist sarong - labelled that by Aaron's own hand - and wielding a scythe decorated in crosses gazed confidently back. Aaron was petrified. He glanced up at the girl and waited for his breathing and heart both to stop.
(((Enigir's note - it's not a perverted drawing by the way, it's more the fact that he draws himself as OC characters in this world without magic that's awkward XD )))
-
Animus saw the paper and picked it up to study it. He saw the beautiful shirtless fox, he blushed, "this... is so.... cool!" his wolf tail wagged,causing his skirt to move around a bit "i wish i could draw like that!" he smiled comfortingly at the petrified Aaron "im sorry that wasnt meant for me to see was it? well it is really good though... d-do you think you could teach me? i work at a small cafe some days though... so iguess there really wouldnt be much free time" Animus looked up at Aaron with a small glimmer in his eyes
-
Aaron's heart stopped. He blinked as the raw fear shit his system and as the realisation of what just happened washed it all away. Aaron prised the drawing away and stared at the wolf before him. It was scary how smoothly they were interacting.
Not to mention...this girl was so CUTE! If only Aaron knew the truth...
He gestured for them to start walking as he secured the drawing away and wondered.
"Say...is this cafe you work in hiring new staff?" Aaron tried to calm his racing heart as he walked, focusing on each step to ring himself back to normal.
(((Aaron's gonna die pretty soon - and he hasn't even started studying yet! This RP is entertaining. - Enigir. Also I'm going to shower now. Brb in a bit!)))
-
Animus lead the way and walked out of the classroom an down a long hallway, lockers coveried the walls, "well now that you mentin it, i think we've just had someone quit because he was movng..." Animus thought of working along side Aaron, he smiled a bit "hey maybe after school we could both walk to the cafe... together." his tail swayed and lightly dragged across the floor, his ears flickered every once and a while as if they were listening to something, he went up a flight of stairs and arrived at the student service desk "well here we are! ill wait out here if you want me to"
(((Die? oh noooo! Well have a nice shower!)))
-
"To-together?" Aaron asked, his ears shooting skywards. He flattened them out of embarrassment a bit but got control of himself quickly. "Y-yeah. I'd uh...like that. You know you still haven't told me your name."
MY HEART~!!! Aaron thought. The possibility of working alongside this cute girl was sending him into a happy daze that was difficult to resist. He was rainbows and shiny bubbles at the moment.
Aaron opened the door and entered.
"Come in, wait, whatever you like," he said, with an uncaring tone but holding the door open like a classic tsundere.
(((I'm not sure but I think I'm back now XD - Enigir)))
-
"o-oh its Animus... Animus Shiro but call me Ani" Animus smiled and walked in, student services was a safe haven for Animus occasionall so its no surprise he was greeted by staff " Mr.Shiro? Is everything alright?" staff member asked
"Oh im just showing a transfer student around dont worry!" Animus said reassuringly
"This is Aaron Blade" Animus took a seat and smiled at Aaron
-
"Hello. I have a few questions." Aaron provided his hand to shake.
...
Aaron opened the door and held it for Animus when the four hour session had ended. He had taken all the instructions well enough from the staff member whose name he had already forgotten but what was really getting to him was this:
"So...mister Animus Shiro, huh?" Aaron asked, placing emphasis on the word 'mister' and with a little more skepticism on his voice than intended. He was slightly crestfallen but wasn't showing it. After all - a cafe job was at stake. But still...he was slightly confused in his feelings.
-
Animus gripped at his skirt and looked to the floor, "i-im sorry... i know i should have told you... but what with wearing a skirt... i figured it would just be easier. I-i really am sorry..." his ears lowered 'He hates me... just like everyone else...' Animus thought,he stood there saddened and ready to face whatever judgment He thought Aaron might dish out
-
"Uh-huh." Aaron said quietly. Make...WHAT easier exactly? He sighed. "You know you've really done my head in, Animus. I'd like to know a few things. One - why are you dressed rather convincingly as a female? Two, are you...you know. Interested? Forget it. Three - is any of this going to affect our working together at this cafe of yours?"

"i-it was a mistake... my pants werent clean... and im not all there in the morning so i just slipped it on without thinking." Animus gripped the skirt tighter,he tried to not cry, his voice had a small shakiness to it "n-no it shouldnt... affect working at the cafe... and i am interested... but i... i dont know..." he covered his face with his paws
-
"You're a mystery." Aaron sighed as he tenderly reached forwards and dried Animus' eyes with his thumbs. He chuckled a little and placed his hands on his hips.
"You uh...make a cute girl." Aaron looked embarrassedly away. He was sort if confusedly touched that Animus fancied him.
"Hey. Ten minutes left for school. Wanna go get snacks before we hit the cafe - provided we can go today that is."
-
Animus looked at Aaron with slight surprise, he actually felt happy, "i-im not cute! but id love to get some snacks before go to the cafe..." animus smiled "lets go!" he grabbed Aaron by the arm and pulled him along "so what do you want to snack on?"
-
"Whoa, easy!" Aaron skipped a couple of steps and caught up with his odd new friend.
"I dunno. A cheap flavoured milk and a chocolate bar? Or maybe something else will catch my eye." He was confused. He knew fully well that Animus was a guy. But...he was still fostering the idea of maybe asking her - him - out. He flattened his ears as he thought.
-Brain, I'm not doing this. Shut up- Aaron snapped internally. He looked around as they walked. Nothing caught his eye. He swished his tails and thought of something to say.
"My kind aren't actually demons you know." He blurted. "It's just history and folklore."
-STUPID, STUPID!- he roared in his head.
-
Animus giggled, "Really? Well i read lots of books... preferrably occult or fantasy... or demonology really..." Animus looked around for a snack machine or snack stand "tell me more!" Animus hugged Aaron's arm and looked up at him smiling
-
*zaida didn't want without fight she felt bad from earlier and didn't want to hurt Amber again even though she was bullied by her* "ten minutes left.....ugh..." *she hides her face in her note book*
-
"Where I come from my kind are relatively common. A birth defect in a single nine tailed fox led to dominant tail genes overpowering recessive tail genes in normal foxes and creating...more of a throwback than a mutation. That's the science in a nutshell. The story goes that a powerful fox Mage delved into every type of dark art there was. Apparently it started out as study but of course he went mad along the way. He started abiding his powers to impress, then to influence, and finally to destroy. In pursuit if his ideals this mad fox supposedly absorbed his chosen mate - a black cat Anthro - and each of her nine lives became a tail. They say that the fusion also created a child from the fox's original tail which fell off and became the ninth life - the dominant life. Convenient really, otherwise supposedly we'd all have ten tails. Anyway, the mad fox ran off to some magical land or another to study evil for all eternity whilst his son grew up to be a nine tailed fix as well. The son apparently found his fathers notes and became a demon lord, amassing a huge army of demon to take vengeance upon the world for chasing his father away. The rest is kinda lost on me, but my kind - one tailed foxes - always breed and christen after chasing feral and Anthro felines alike far, far away."
-
"Wow.... comes to show you what power can do to a person huh? but i guess that its still pretty awsome though..." he spotted a snack machine "There!" he pointed nd started tugging Aaron again
-
"It's only stupid folklore." Aaron grumbled. "But it's true that power does corrupt. Look at our leaders if you can stand to."
Aaron stared at the machine. He was suddenly not very hungry - his nerves were kicking in. He really wanted the job. He sighed and went for a bag of Doritos.
-
Animus reached for the cheetos, instead he found himself intercepting Aaron's paw and grabbing that instead, he gulped and blushed,puing his hand away quickly "oh my god i am so sorry!"
-
"For what, touching me? You're weird." Aaron blinked. He snaked his paw around and grabbed his chips.
-I thought all the weird stuff happened in "college"- Aaron thought. He decided he wouldn't react to any more of the awkward situations. He had to gauge the towns overall personality before he started forming so much as friendships with anyone. He looked at the flustered character to his right. Well...anyone else. What harm could come from being nice to someone? Besides...animus was interesting to be around. Aaron was at ease around her. Damn. Him. Around him.
Aaron flicked his ears.
"What are your elective classes?" He asked.
-
Animus gathered himself and readjusted his glasses, "m-my electives are... vocal music, home economics, and art. what about you?" he looked to Aaron "am i really that weird?"
-
"Huh. Art, creative art cause I'm lazy and study of religion. That kinda stuff fascinates me. At any rate we'll be seeing each other a lot. I...look forward to it." Aaron opened his chips and munched a few.
-
"same!" Animus sat back totally forgetting his cheetos, he started to play with his tail and giggling, he then hugged it close and nibbled slightly on it "mmrrff"
-
Aaron sat by his new friend in the gutter.
"Why are you chewing in your tail?" As he asked this, Aaron's own weird tail habit kicked in and he started curling them clockwise.
-
"csh itsh finnn!" he saw the curling tails and pointed to them "whff arf yff don tff yrff tllfff?" he giggled
-
"The swaying of my tails causes a vortex to build from the base of my spine. Being what I am I can use the subtlety of my demonic blood to kill at least six people in a kilometer radius."
Aaron said this all with a deadly serious expression as he gazed up at the nearest building across the street, doing his best to hold a straight face.
But of course, this was the real world. There wasn't any magic on earth...
Aaron became acutely aware that if a strung of stage des were to happen near the same time as his arrival he'd be blamed for sure. He felt suddenly uneasy...

-
*the bell rang and dis began to wait for zaida at the front of the school*
*when zaida arrived she tried getting past them to go home until Amber came out of the crowd* "ready for a rematch..."
zaida:"I don't want to fight you Amber.."
Amber:"fine... Leave"
*zaida was walking away until kicked in the back of the leg and fell getting kicked by Amber while everyone cheered. After a minute zaida grew with anger and finally stood tackling Amber and began to punch her over again and now everyone started cheering for her*
-
Fredric sat with Thomas. "So... Umm... What do we do?"
-
"I-uh..." He goes "I dunno... Maybe come over to my place? It's not that far of a walk."
-
He nodded timidly and blushed. "S-sure..."
-
"Right..."he said, giving a nervous smile "my mom is super Christian... So don't let on that we're... Y'know. She'll have a sh*t fit."
-
"I'll try not to..." Fredric returned the nervous smile.
-
"Right..." He said, taking his hand "so, what do you like to do in your spare time?"
-
"I'm usually on my own, so I read..." Fredric sighed.
-
I stand outside the school and kick the wall a few times before starting to walk home slowly
-
Fredric stood started walking to the schools exit with Thomas. "Why? What do you like to do?"
-
He shrugs "video games, mostly...and I was just wondering... Was trying to think of something we could do."
-
*zaida hears the cheers making her punch Amber harder and harder with each strike finally making her nose and mouth bleed*
-
Sees a croud and walks over watching the fight that was just more of a beating than anything
-
*Gav'riel looks on,his face unerved as blood and teeth get on his face*"L-Ladys Please Stop...."
-
*zaida gets up* "Your not worth my time anyways, you b**ch.." *she pushes her way through the crowd as Amber laid on the floor crying*
-
I laugh at the girl that got beat
-
*He looks at ambers beat in face before picking her up and taking ger to the nurse*"Ssssssh...you are gonna be okay"
-
*amber snaps at him* "let go!!" *her popular friends surround her talking to her*
*zaida rolls her eyes and sat next to the tree began to draw*
-
"Thomas... Do you really like me?" Fredric enquired.
-
walks after the girl who beat up the other "hey that's was one wicked punch you've got"
-
*zaida looks up at him and looks back at her paper and mumbles* "t-thanks i guess.."
-
*He looks at his blood covered hands before feeling a tear fall down his face*"I'm useless....I try to help...."
-
"Well..." He says, blushing "well... Yeah. I do."
-
*amber got up walking away with her friends and Zaida shouts* "she's a b**ch she's not gonna let you help her.."
-
No I was great surprised you didn't knock in her face
-
"I was avoiding that anyways..." *she says drawing* Besides I don't want to go to juvenile hall.." *she mumbles to herself*
-
"Eh oh well, so what is it your drawing"
-
*she shows him the paper showing a shadow like creature for her animation class*
-
*A rustling is heard in the tree above zaida* "Yo keep quiet down there you're gonna get me caught." *A light and a figure is seen in the tree branches*
-
"Woah looks great, I'm quite the crappy artist" looks up in the tree "what the fu"
-
Acon skipped about as she snapped pictures.
-
*The light is put out and a head pops out of the leaves at the bottom of the tree.* "Sheesh can't I be left in peace?" *James looks around while upside down* "Wooah trippy."
-
Oh I see *laughs a bit*
-
"You wanna join me or something?" *James looks down at ben*
-
Hell yeah
-
"Well then get your fluffy self up here." *James disappears back into the tree only to have his head pop back out.* "Zaida you want in on this?"
-
((Just a quick question, can we display character interactions outside of school?))
-
((Yash))
-
Animus could tell something was troubling Aaron, he released his tail and nudged him a bit, "you doing okay?" he became worried, Animus got up and placed his paw on Aaron's forehead, "you dont seem to have a fever..."
-
I climb up into the tree
-
"Now I only share as long as you accept my terms." *James sat himself back up into the tree across from ben.*
-
"Right..." Thomas says to Fredric, letting go of his hand "my mom's a nice person... Just don't mention that you're... y'know." He walks up to his door, knocking on it
-
"Okay..." Fredric kept his head down.
-
"Who's this?" His mom went, her country twang and warm smile quite evident
"This is Fredric, mom." He says, smiling at her "he got beat up, so I thought to be friendly with him."
-
Fredric brushed his hair out of his face and extended his hand. "H-hello."
-
"Hi!" She said, shaking his hand "I'm Angela! Come in, child. You look hungry." She says, not saying anything about his bruises.
-
Ok then what are your terms
-
Acon sat outside the school with her music playing loudly and her camera flashed as she shot photos of odds and ends.
-
Hears the music and pops my head out of the tree
-
Acon turned and smiled at Ben before she snapped a picture of him.
-
The flash catches me off guard and I fall out of the tree
-
Acon raised a brow. "Gravity strikes again."
-
*James looks down at the fallen ben* "BWAHAHAHAHA"
-
I laugh a bit and hide the branch that came down with me "it seems so"
-
Acon got up and walked over to Ben. She held out a paw to help him up.
-
I grab Acon by te paw and stand up not using her assistance very much "thanks"
-
Acon shrugged. "No biggy. While I have you like this I might as well introduce myself." She shook Ben's paw. "The name's Aconitum Lovien, you can call me Con, Tom, or Acon. That works too."
-
Shakes your paw "I'm Ben, you have a wonderful name, I think I'll call you Acon" smiles
-
Acon smiled. "Haha, thanks, Ben." She rolled his name over her tongue a moment. "Ben, I like it. It's like plain bagel. You know? Sometimes I just don't want all that flavor in my mouth. What if I just want the taste of the creamcheese and the dough, you know? Some people just have such ridiculous names that nobody has time for. It's nice to hear the plain bagels of names."
-
"I love that" laughs "it's good to hear im the wheat bagel of the bunch with cream cheese and what ever, I don't even know"
-
"Embrace it! I get so many jokes on my name, it's unreal." Acon laughed.
-
"No your name is impossible to make fun of" laughs "I'm serious"
-
*he catches wind of Acon's and Ben's conversation* Like how the first part of your name reminds us of Akon, the non-rapper who all people assume is a rapper? Or how your name looks like something off the periodic table? *he says as he walks by the both of them*
-
Acon smiled at Ben before she turned a glare to Dubaku. "Shut up, ass hat!" She snarled.
-
Fredric, after exchanging pleasantries with Thomas's parents, turned to him. "What if they find out?" He whispered, visibly nervous.
-
"I...I don't know." He whispered back "my dad might be okay with it... But my mom? I don't know." He gives Frederic's hand a light squeeze under the table
-
Fredric continued whispering. "Let's hope your mother doesn't find out." He blushed and sighed.
-
*zaida gets tired of the conversation and get up walking to the other tree and sitting down beside it and began to draw until part of ambers blood that was on her knuckle got on the paper* "DAMMIT!!" *she yells crumbling the paper and throwing it she lays against the tree and sighs not wanting to go home*
-
"Yeah." He said, giving a small smirk "let's... Let's get to my room. There's a door we can lock."
-
Fredric nodded and blushed heavier. "O-okay..."
-
He smiled, stood up, and walked over to his room. "There." He said locking the door behind him "you're a cute little guy, you know that?"
-
Fredric looked at Thomas. "Am I?"
-
"Heh..." He goes, sitting on his bed "yeah, you are!
-
"T-thank you..." Fredric sat on the floor.
-
"C'mon!" Thomas said, patting the bed beside him "c'mere!"
-
*Dubaku pulls up to his house in a black Cadillac escalade, blaring rap music*
-
Fredric stood, walked over to the bed and sat down.
-
"There." He smiled, putting his arm around Fredric's shoulder "there. Better?"
-
Fredric nodded timidly. "Y-yeah..." He smiled.
-
Thomas smiled back, and then leaned in, as if to kiss him
-
Fredric twiddled his thumbs, not noticing Thomas leaning in.
-
Thomas nervously chuckled, and sat back, repelled by his not noticing.
"Well," he says, gesturing at his TV "ya wanna play?"
-
Fredric looked at Thomas. "Can I... Umm... T-tell you something?" He blushed a little.
-
"Sure!" He said, smiling "I'm your boyfriend! You can tell me whatever you want!"
-
"I t-think... you're handsome..." Fredric blushed heavily.
-
He grins at him, then embraces him in a hug. "Thank you..."
-
Fredric blushed even more, before squirming slightly.
-
*zaida stood up and sighed leaning her back against the tree watching the sun start to go down* "I only can wish.." *her ears go down, sadden*
-
He backs away "s-sorry... D-did I... Was... Should I not have?"
-
"N-no... It's just..." Fredric leaned forward and kissed Thomas.
-
"Oh!" Thomas goes, blushing heavily before returning the kiss
-
Fredric smiled. "I... Umm... I really like you..."
-
Thomas smiled back "me too..."
-
*Gav'riel washes his hands from the blood and sighs putting his reptilian snout to the wall*"Ugh...get you're head in the game Gav'riel"
-
"I-I'd even go s-so far as to say that I l... Lov...ed you." Fredric kissed Thomas, passionately.
-
*zaida looks at her phone showing 5:23 p.m she shrugs and calls her mom waiting for her to pick up*
Mom:"oh hello sweetie!!"
Zaida:"hey mom.."
Mom sighs* "look sweetie pie me and dad gotta go on a business trip for a month so we won't be here on your birthday.. I'm so so so..
Zaida:"sorry, yea I know... It's fine...
Mom:"you sure?"
Zaida rolls her eyes and makes her voice sounds happy* "yea don't sweat it.. Love you, be careful.
Mom:"good, love you bye muah!"
*zaida hangs up and tosses her phone in the grass* "I'm done...
-
Thomas grins, blushing uncontrollably, returning the kiss "I... I would... Too."
-
Fredric adjusted his clothes and sat in silence, still blushing.
-
*Gav'riel shakes his hand of water and walks toward zaida*"I Am truly afraid of you ma'am..."
-
*she looks at him* "s-sorry i honestly didn't want to hurt Amber.. She kept hurting me physically and mentally and i told her to stop... I didn't want to hurt her but she just.." *sighs* "sorry..." *she tucks her knees to her head*
-
"Well... We could-uh... Do... It, y'know? My parents'll be gone this weekend... So... Yeah." He sits back, still blushing, not sure if he just made a terrible mistake
-
*He sits down next to her,patting her back*"But you are a sight to behold,meaning you're beautiful...both mentally and physically"
-
*she blushes* "thanks...." *she leans in and kisses his cheek* "you made my day.." *she smiles at him*
-
Fredric was taken back by what Thomas had just asked him. "I... Umm... Su... O-okay..."
-
"Did I... Was it too soon?" He asks, embarrassed. He was new to this whole romance thing, and he hoped that he didn't just make a terrible mistake
-
Acon had finally returned home after staying out late in town. When she snuck through the door, she was relieved to see that her brother, Dox, was already out cold on the couch.
-
*James climbed down out of the tree and started walking home* "You be careful you two!"
-
"I don't know... If feels right." Fredric wondered if it he should.
-
"Right..." He said, breathing a sigh of relief "right, time to be serious. About the meeting we're going to have with the councillor?"
-
*she blushes* "thanks...." *she leans in and kisses his cheek* "you made my day.." *she smiles at him*
*He blushes and hold her face,before suddenly kissing her*
-
Acon went and sat on the floor beside the couch after she had changed out of her school clothes. She flipped through the channels, careful as to keep the volume low. The last thing she wanted was an irritated Dox beating the crap out of her for waking him in his drunken stupor.
-
"Yes, what about it?" He enquired.
-
"Right..." He says "guess we won't have to lie about being boyfriends, eh?"
-
*her eyes widen for a moment she then kisses him back with passion*
-
Fredric giggled. "No..."
-
"Right." He says, looking at his ps4 "ready to get your *ss kicked?"
-
Fredric smiled. "Whatever you say." He said sarcasticly.
-
*after a couple minutes she stops kissing him blushing* "UHH... Hey you wanna come over?..."
-
*He blushes and nods*
-
"Right." Thomas said, tossing him a controller, and turning on the console "get ready for an *ss whoopin'!"
-
*she stands up* "it's sorta a walk.." *she begins walking to the rich neighborhood*
-
Fredric holds the controller and gets ready for battle.
-
"Game on!" He goes, starting a local split-screen match I call of duty
-
*Dubaku puts on his PJs, turns on some music and starts up his PS3* Huh... what to play
-
*they arrive at her house that was huge having the front yard with some plants trimmed like squares and circles and some statues and a huge fountain in the middle* "we're here.." *she walks to her door opening up revealing a room with couches and a table with expensive decorations on the cupboards and a class design on the table and the living room next door with flat screen in living room with leather black couches and beside the t.v was speakers connected to the wall and stairs that lead upstairs and beside the living room was the kitchen next door*
-
I'm walking around town at around midnight and take my phone out of my pocket answering a call from his parents asking him where he was just a simple reply back "out" he closed the flip phone and shoved it back into his pocket, I stand my back against a lamp post
-
*He looks at her and politely sits on the couch*
-
*she slightly takes off her shoes and kicks in the air making them fly to the other room and then slides across the floor to the kitchen* "you wanna drink.. Ah ima get you one anyways I'll be right back okay"
-
"Haha, I'm fine! I pull that joke to scare folks but you really have fine your reading! Hey...wanna hit this cafe? The sun's shooting down..." Aaron grinned and stood. He crumpled the empty Doritos packet and shoved it under his scarf.
-
Animus groaned, "you really worried me!"he grabbed Aarons hand without thinking and headed toward the cafe " come on come on!" his tail wagged fast
-
"Yaaah, okay -whoa!" Aaron tripped and face planted into the pavement. He grinned reassuringly at Animus before getting up and striding gracefully alongside his new friend.
"Ever heard of The Fenrir?"
(((What so the school uniforms look like - I can't be French furever. Pun pun pun fur pun. But seriously. Une oia pa du...anything else (lol idk what I just typed - French gibberish?) but yeah uniforms.)))
-
(( the only french in there is une haha))

((No uniforms you wear what ever..))

((Du is actually French! It means of/some.... Idk haven't had French in a while.))
-
((What in the, well not the reaction I was expecting but ok haha, ou guys wanna know why fire trucks are red))
-
((( ok but more importantly can you resist the thought if my attractive fuzzy hide in that uniform? Haha...! )))
-
After a while, Acon slipped on her shoes and her jacket and walked out of her brother's apartment.
-
(( because there are eight wheels on a fire truck and four people died inside them, eight plus four equals twelve there are twelve inches in a foot, and one foot is a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was a ruler, and Qween Elizabeth was also a ship, and the ship sailed the seas, and in the seas there are fish, and fish have fins, and the Finns fought the Russians, an the Russians are red, therefore fire trucks are red))
Sees the girl he met earlier "hey Acon"
-
*Dubaku goes through his mail* College, college, college, college... A letter from Lamborghini? Oh, right, yea, the internship... *he opens the letter and reads it* "Dear Dubaku, We at Lamborghini blah blah blah bl- as a token of our appreciation for your services, we have personally sent to you a new 50th Anniversary Lamborghini Aventador, it should be delivered shortly to your home address-" *he stops reading* They're bullish*tin'. *he then hears a knock on his door, he answers the door* Yo? *his jaw drops in awe as he sees a yellow Lamborghini Aventador in his driveway, a man then gets out and walks up to Dubaku* "Delivery for a, uh, Dubaku?" *Dubaku pulls himself together* That's me. *the man hands Dubaku the keys* "Enjoy your new ride, sir."
-
Acon looked to Ben and smiled sheepishly at him. "Hey."
-
What Ya doin sneakin around
-
*Dubaku immediately hopped into his new Lamborghini and drove off to school*
-
((No reaction from that XD))
-
Acon shrugged. "I just wanted to get out of my apartment for a while."
-
"I know how Ya feel" smiles and sees the sports car race by "wanna go pop a few tires"
-
Acon shrugged. "Sure thing. As long as we don't get caught." She teased.
-
"Ya scared or something" tosses a large pocket knife to Acon
-
*Dubaku grabs a megaphone out of nowhere* Attention all students and staff of FHS... eat sh*t, I got a Lambo
-
Acon laughed. "Nah, my brother used to make me do things like this."
-
I walk up to the lambo's window and start talking to dub "hey man nice car" I motion for Acon to slag the tires behind my back
-
These tires are bulletproof, nigga!
-
Doesn't mean you can't cut em, people with bullet proof vests get stabbed so that just goes to show something
-
Acon knelt beside Dubaku's car and tried stabbing them. "Wow."
-
*Dubaku sees Acon's failed attempt* I repeat, "eat sh**". *he rolls his windows up and blasts more rap music*
-
((( Oi Dubaku, how you say your name? Doo bark oo or like Japanese where the u is silent so it's just Du bach? K thx)))
-
Acon stood and opened Dubaku's door before she took a seat in his lap. "Aww, don't be so cruel."
-
(Doo-bok-oo)
This right here's a gift straight from Lamborghini. Only 200 of these were made, and this nigga right here *he points to himself* owns one.
-
*I pull my glock out and shoot out the back window* you too mother **censor**
-
"Whoa. You guys...?"
-
"What!" Looks at Acon sharply
-
Oh, you're a poor sport. Thank god I ain't gotta pay for the damages. That's the only window that ain't bulletproof *he lets Acon out of the car and closes the door* So, you gonna have that money for me tomorrow, right, bruh?
-
Acon shrugged and averted her eyes. "N-nothing." Acon smoothed her jacket.
-
"No I'm sure you can pay for it yourself" flips Dubaku off
-
*she comes back with water* "here.." *she sets it on the table and sits next to him*
-
Ha, you're hilarious, but you shot out the window, so technically, you're responsible... with that I'd like to say "Be stressed"
-
"I think it's pretty safe to say, Ben has no regrets." Acon pointed out.
-
Im not its your **censor** pile of scrap metal so you can deal with it unless you beat me in a fight
-
Acon moved to start tugging on Ben's arm. "Hey, let's just go. No fights are in order."
-
I look at Acon then back at Dubaku "not worth my time anyway" spits on his car
-
Acon tugged a little harder on Ben's arm. "Ok, ok. You made your point. Let's just go do something else."
-
I put my arm around you, "what do you want to do then"
-
*Dubaku gets out of the car, and walks up to Ben* You think I ain't gonna drop yo bitch ass? *he says, looking down at Ben* Pfft, man, get the f*ck outta here. You ain't worth my time. I can get a whole lot more outta you just by suing you.
-
That's one way to pussy out
-
Acon held out a paw as if to stop Dubaku. She backed away with Ben just behind her. "Come on, guys. Please don't."
-
Hun if he really wants to fight thats not gonna stop him
-
Eh, whatever, he'll be left with pretty much jack sh**
-
*zaida sat down not talking awkwardly as she blushed* "about earlier....?"
-
Acon rolled her eyes. "Can't we just settle things like civil furs?"
-
" **censor** it why not" turns away walking quietly with a clenched fist
-
Acon padded close behind Ben. "Are... are you mad?"
-
*Dubaku goes on his phone* Oh... yo, nice, they cover the repair costs
-
Punches the telephone pole as I walk by it, leaving a large dent it it "no but somebody's gotta teach the shit a lesson and I wanted to be the one to do it"
-
Acon flinched and stopped where was, unsure if she should just go home and take her chances with her brother. "I-I'm sorry."
-
Yo Ben! Lucky break for you, bruh, turns out you ain't gotta pay sh**
-
"No, no it's fine" sits in the grass motioning for Acon to sit on his lap
-
Acon walked up to Ben and sat in his offered lap. "So... what are you doing out so late?"
-
"I'm always wandering the streets don't like home, hate my parents" hugs you softly
-
*Dubaku gets back in his Lambo and drives home*
-
"O-oh. Can't stay cause you hate your parents. I feel ya." Acon hugged Ben back.
-
I take a deep breath "yeah it's shitty ain't it"
-
Acon sighed. "Yeah. It is." She let her ears drop. "It really is though."
-
Lays down and closes my eyes "yeah... So what do Ya do for fun"
-
Acon smiled deviously. "I sit in the park and take photos of the unsuspecting public."
-
"Oh that sounds like fun" smiles
-
Acon laughed. "It is... until people start chasing you."
-
Well thats what I'm for people won't chase you if I'm around *laughs a bit*
-
(( could I join in? ))
-
(( sure can))
-
((Go for it, bro!))
Acon smiled. "Haha, good."
-
"Yes very good"
-
((I, too, may jump onto this cart of musical groups [bandwagon].))
-
((Yes now stop asking you nerds and just join (030) lol))
-
((Ah, yeah! Ray's joining the party!))

Aakor was running across the street. He had a black and red messenger bag and was wearing a grey t-shirt with the muddy fox logo in a dark red on the front and black paw prints going up the back with smoke like effects surrounding them his trousers were a pair of faded Marc echo jeans. He was also wearing a pair of air-walk high-tops.
-
((Cool Ray has joined the party))
-
((He has. *adjusts glasses*))
-
As Aakor got to the steps he leapt up the wall with ease then calmly straightened out his shirt and calmly asked acon "hey do you know what time lessons usually start? I just moved form the UK so I'm not sure how things work around here. Oh and I'll think I'd class as a senior but I'm not entirely sure."
-
Acon thought for a moment. "Classes start at eight fifteen. As for your class, my advice would be to go to the main office."
-
Aakor tilts his head to the side and, trying not to sound like an idiot, asks "uhh... Would you be able to lead the way?"
-
Acon nodded. "Of course!" Acon waved Ben goodbye and led the new student to the office. "Here we are." She said, walking through the door.
-
"Oh. Right well thanks." Aakor said to acon as he walked in and continued "excuse me I need a bit of help finding my lesson. I was hoping that you could help?" He said nervously to the person at the front desk.
-
((( I think you gotta fill in your own NPC staff interactions - we only have student RP'ers here. XD also there's no uniform and also wannit midnight a second ago? Or evening? I dunno. YAAAY Ray and Aakor! - Enigir Shosa)))
-
Animus toally freaked out, "oh my god i am so so sorry i am such an idiot!" he looked Aaron up and down for injuries "Aaron why someone like you still hangs out with someone like me is a mystery...." Animus turned back to the cafe "come on...."
-
Fredric woke up, sitting on the floor of Thomas's room. Thomas had fallen asleep so Fredric, to be polite, had slept on the floor.
-
Animus approached the cafe, a large black wolf was seen cleaning glasses from the window a serious look on his face, he noticed Animus and raised a paw to greet him as he entered with Aaron, "Hey little pack... whats with that get up? you look awfully cute.."the wolf said with a slight grin
"I had a slight problem with clothes this morning.... and i am not cute!" Animus stomped his foot on the hardwood floor, "Oh right... M-Mark this is Aaron... he wants to see you about replacing edmund" Animus stood to the side and let Aaron in
Mark perked his ears, "wow whered you find him?"
"oh dont take it the wrong way Mark we're just friends... i think" Animus shrugged and heded to the back to change into his cafe umiform
"Hey you know the rules... its the week for your other uniform." Mrk looked back to Animus
Animus blushed, "b-but Aaron is here..." Mark crossed his arms
"Listen we gotta draw in some new cusomers, i know its not that great but it keeps business going" Mark said with a slight frown, Animus nodded and gave Mark one last look, it was obvious from a single glance that he worked out, a lot. his large chest and arms gave that away,his uniform, a black apron with a white undershirt and black pants seeemed to be tight on him, his rght eye had a scar running across it, he had a very intimidating look, whichwas sometimes needed if customers were causing trouble, "alright... so Aaron was it? lets get started... why dont you tell me a bit about yourself?" Mark looked Aaron up and down, "Cause you dont seem like the type to fall for someone like Ani... but to each his own..."
-
"It's good to meet you, sir. My name is Aaron Blade. I live alone and train regularly in various martial arts. I'm comparatively weak but my precision and stamina are above average - I believe this might help in the workplace, but this is if course up to you. That aside I am artistically inclined. I've not much else to say - just your regular gaming, studying teen." Aaron shook hands with Mark and smiled warmly.
"Furthermore, I am friends with Animus. We met today, so even if I were inclined to pursue a relationship with him it would be on the whole tasteless to do so so soon."
Aaron looked over the uniform mark was wearing and blinked.
"If I may ask, my neck is somewhat sensitive, so would it be possible to wear my scarf whilst on the job? I do not mind if this is not possible. Furthermore it isn't something that will put health and safety in the risk zone. I could also purchase a black or white scarf to better suit the dress code. Again, though, up to you."
-
(( shosa I literally have no clue how the educational system in America works. I live in the UK. ))
-
(((Where'd that come from, Aakor? Also neither would I, I'm an Aussie. Also the above post a Aaron applying for a cafe job with Animus, not at school XD )))
-
((Well, what do you want to know? I live in the US, and am currently in High school. Ask away!))
Thomas woke up. Rubbed his eyes, and noticed Fredric asleep on the floor. He smiled. He looked kinda cute while he was asleep. Thomas got out of his bed as quietly as he could, and decided that he would get dressed, and then wake Fredric up.
-
Fredric once again woke up, he looked in front of him and blushed heavily when he saw that Thomas was changing.
-
Thomas continued changing, slipping on a white T-shirt and jeans. He didn't notice that Fredric was awake.
-
I wake up rubbing my eyes then I throw on a black T-shirt and a pair of camo pants
-
Ray sat in a non-descript corner of the school, going over his classes. He moved his mouth silently as he read. After a third read-through, he looked up. Huh...so this is what transferring is like? Ray hated to be new to an environment, as it required him to learn the queues and quirks of the people around him.
-
Acon slinked around the halls. She snapped pictures of odds and ends.
-
*zaida woke up in the empty house remembering ga'rel left last night after they hung out for a bit she then quickly got dress she then left to school*
-
I get in my car and drive to school slowly
-
Fredric couldn't help but watch Thomas change.
-
Ray looked up at the clock, and noticed that people should be coming in any time now. He'd been exceptionally early, to ascertain his schedule.
-
Once Thomas was done, grabbed a pair of shoes and socks, put them on, and then turned to wake Fredric.
"Oh." He went "you're already awake?"
-
*zaida made sure no one saw her walking out of the rich neighborhood as she walked to school*
-
Acon rounded a corner to take a photo of a water fountain when she picked up a new scent. Her ears perked. "ooh! A new kid."
-
Ray sat, and stared at the door. He waited for the others to enter, and dreaded the thought. Ray hated huge groups, too many people doing to many things at once made his head hurt. He liked to keep track of everyone's actions.
-
I park my car an walk in school
-
Acon crept up quietly beside the new kid, her camera ready. When she was close enough, Acon stroked his arm and looked at his crazy eyes. "Hi."
-
Ray blinked, and turned. He spoke quietly. "H-Hello."
-
James walked from his house into the school and towards his favorite morning corner. But, there was someone standing there and acon was trying to take a picture of him. "Acon, leave the poor soul alone." James walked up and stood next to the two. "Are you ever gonna stop taking pictures acon?"
-
Acon got very close to the new student and sniffed his jacket. "Mmm... I love that new kid smell."
-
Ray rubbed his paws, uncomfortable. What do they want, I wonder? Money? Or just bloodletting? He looked between Acon and James calmly enough.
-
*zaida arrives at school and texts gav'riel* 'tell me when you get to school :)' *she puts her phone back in her pocket and walks to the cafeteria for breakfast*
-
Acon looked at James and stuck out her tongue. "Never!" She snapped a few pictures of James.
-
I walk over to the small group with a smile
-
Acon turned back to the new kid. "I'm just tryin to make a new friend."
-
Ray continued to rub his paws, gaining a little speed. He was quickly becoming even more uncomfortable. Ray could feel panic at the corners of his mind.
-
James made funny faces when acon was taking pictures of them. "I hope you frame those and put them on a wall somewhere." James turns to ben and holds his paw out for a low 5. "Wassup man?"
-
*after she ate she laid down in the bench hearing more and more kids arrive and some talking getting her a headache*
-
Low fives James "not much man" looks at Ray "you new here?"
-
Fredric nodded slowly, his face was still red.
-
Ray nodded, and looked at Ben. He spoke quietly."Yes."
-
Well then howdy there im Ben *puts out my paw*
-
Acon had taken the new kid's schedule and was looking over it. "Sophomore. Sweet cause we totally need more."
-
Ray offered his paw shakily. "I-I'm Haedon...but most people call me Ray...among other things."
-
"Heh..." He goes, blushing himself "well... How...uh how did I look?"
-
"Very nice meeting you ray" shakes his hand
-
"Y-you... Umm... L-looked good..." Fredric covered his face to try and hide his embarrassment.
-
Ray smiled and nodded, pulling his paw back. "Same." He looked around, still uncomfortable, though slowly getting better. Maybe they don't want anything. They're just trying to be friendly.
-
"Would you like some assistance finding your first class"
-
Acon smiled brightly at Ray's schedule. "We have a lot of classes near each other! We will be best pals. I just know it!"
-
"T-thanks..." He says, looking to the side, embarrassed
-
Ray looked at Ben, and nodded. "I-If you would, please?" He stood, and seemed to limp away.
-
*zaida fell asleep on the bench do to the fact she fell asleep at 1 in the morning after a couple minutes the bell rings* "uh!! Dammit!"
-
Walks with Ray to his first class "here you are, if you need anything just ask"
-
Ray nodded. "Uh...I need to see the nurse. J-Just to finalize something."
-
*zaida slowly goes to her first period*
-
"Sure thing walk down the hall a bit and it's the first door on your right, bippidy boppidy booppity" makes some had gestures
-
Animus yawned and made his way to his locker to gather a few things for first period,he found his locker opened and in a mess, many things were gon0e including his mother's picture,his eyes widened and teared up "N-no... Mom was... stolen..." he desperately clawed through what was left hoping he was wrong, but to no avail. He sunk to his knees and let out a loud cry. Some students burst out in laughter whil others whispered and stared. Animus rushed down the hall, "Mom! MOM!"
(((we are allowed to do things involving after school arent we?)))
-
((Yesh :3 well I gtg I'm in first period getting dressed for P.E))
-
Ray walked to the nurses, with what appeared to be a limp. He stepped into the office, and after a few minutes, walked back out, a note taped to his schedule. Ray walked back to his first period, a light smile on his face.
-
(((have fun! :) ))))
-
(( good luck with physical education)) im walking down the halls when somebody runs into me "woah there"
-
Upon reaching his first period, Ray turned, and started off to his second period, using his first day to map out a route. I'll still have to map out the routes that the bigger, meaner ones use.
-
"Well," thomas says, we've got to go to school." He glances down at his watch "Ah sh*t! We're late!"
-
Fredric stood quickly. "Y-yeah..."
-
"Here's your Bookbag!" He tosses it at him, and grabs his own "let's go!"
-
Ray sat on a bench, and scratched at his left leg, absently. He pulled it up on his right knee, and sighed. "Well...it's my first day, guys. I think it'll go well. I've already met some nice people." He looked up, and sighed again. "I miss you."
-
Animus fell back to the floor and looked up to Ben, a look of desperation and pure dread on his face, "i... im sorry!"
-
Fredric caught the bag and put it on. "Yeah..."
-
"C'mon!"he said, dashing out the door to his house "let's go, let's go!"
-
Fredric followed behind trying to keep pace with Thomas.
-
What's got you troubled *puts out my paw to help sub up*
-
Within a minute or two, they were at the entrance to the school
"Right, if we hurry, maybe our teachers'll let us in."
-
Ray limped around, and went to the main office. He sat, and talked with the people inside.
-
Fredric nodded and continued to follow Thomas.
-
Acon sat outside the girl's bathroom, yelling at her brother on the other end. "School isn't even over yet! Why do you need me to do it?!"
-
"We have the same teacher first period, right?" He says, barging through the school doors
-
I walk to class and sit down half falling asleep
-
"Y-yes..." Fredric accidentally ran into Acon and fell.
-
((Back! xD))
-
Acon hung up on Dox and walked to class for the first time since school even started.
-
Thomas quickly rushes to his side, and offers a paw to help him up "you okay?"
-
Wakes up and sees Acon walk in
-
Acon sat at a desk in the back of the room, hugging her knees to her chest.
-
Fredric takes Thomas's paw and stands. "I-I'm fine..."
-
"Good!" Thomas says, smiling "let's get to class, yeah?"
-
Good mornin' Acon
-
"Yeah..." Fredric brushed himself off and continue towards class.
-
"Morning." She smiled.
-
Hey if the teacher is a no show wanna skip
-
"Right." Thomas goes, holding the door open "after you."
-
Acon shrugged. "Sure." She crossed her legs on the chair.
-
I get in the teachers chair and roll next to Acon "so you come here often?"
-
Acon shrugged. "When I feel like it."
-
"sounds nice" stands up offering the chair to Acon
-
Acon moved to the chair and brought her knees up under her chin. "So... when's this teacher supposed to come in?"
-
"No clue" smiles and pushes the chair around slowly
-
Fredric walked in and smiled at Thomas as he passed him.
-
Acon smiled. "Where to?"
-
Thomas walks in after Fredric "huh." He goes "no teacher."
-
Animus hesitantly reaches out and grabs Ben's paw, "m-my locker was broken into... and they..... they took something important...." Animus wiped his eyes
-
Fredric sat in his usual place in the back of the class.
-
Thomas proceeds to sit next to Fredric, plugging in his laptop an turning it on.
"Y'know," he whispers to him "you don't have to sleep on the floor next time."
-
*zaida fell asleep on her desk.*
*teacher walks up slamming the ruler to the desk* "ZAIDA!! WAKE UP!!"
*zaida gets startled and wakes up* "uh s-sorry!... Didn't get much sleep..."
*teacher sighs* "that's to bad. And it's not my problem next time sleep early.." *he walks up to the board beginning to teach*
-
Where ever you want hun
-
Acon thought a moment. "Hmm... let's go downtown. I wanna mocha latè."
-
Sounds good to me I open the door to the class room and roll the chair out the door
-
"Hey..." Thomas says to Acon "mind if me and Fredric join ya? I mean, you kinda chewed on a guy's face for him. I-I'll pay, if ya want."
-
Acon looked to Thomas and Fredric. She shrugged. "Sure I don't see why not. Ben, is that ok with you?"
-
"I suppose so" spins the seat around then pushes the chair down the halls
-
"F*ck this" *zaida get up walking out of the classroom*
*the teacher yells* "where do you think you going!!?"
*zaida shrugs* "don't know just not here..."
-
Acon sees Zaida and waves her down. "Hey! Come skip with us!!"
-
*zaida just quietly follows a couple feet away from them as her oversized jacket went a little past her thighs to her shorts*
-
"Yeah because seniors rule" laughs an picks Acon up out of the chair and runs to the front door
-
Acon smiled. "Yeah, some seniors." She pointed out. Acon didn't much care for many people in their graduating class.
-
"Well," thomas says to Fredric "you wanna come?"
-
"Only a select few" kicks open the door and walks out with Acon
-
"Umm... Y-yeah... Okay." Fredric nodded.
-
"Cool!" Thomas says, walking to the door "let's go!"
-
*as they walk Zaida's ears twitch* "sh*t.." *she walks across the street to not get the others in trouble because of her, she covers her face with her hoodie as the police car passes by with the sirens and spray paint all over it* "pfft hahaha!!" *she laughs falling on her back when the car disappears in the distance*
-
*Dubaku drives down the street in his new Lambo, the back window's fixed, he's blaring Me OK by Young Jeezy, he then gets out, wearing a purple T-shirt, slate jeans, Timberland boots, aviators and a purple LA snapback, he turns to see the others across the street* Yo, slackers! *he laughs*
-
*zaida ignores him continuing to laugh almost crying holding her stomach as it started to hurt due to the laughing*
-
Animus went to the court yard of the school. He didnt care abou anything other than finding that picture "Mom please be okay..." a group of guys walked out the leader of the group, a lion, held up the photograph of a smiling blue female wolf, "looks like girly boy fell for it" he said and laughed. Animus lunged forward but ended up running right into one of their fists,Animus doubled over holding his somach "give me... Mom back" he managed to say. The lion grabbed him by the hair and lifted him up, Animus yelped and whimpered
"Fat chance girly..."the lion smiled wickedly and stuffed the photo into his back pocket
"Lets have some fun boys!" The group surrounded Animus and kept throwing him to the ground,he sobbed and cried out for help
-
Acon heard the cries for help and jumped from Ben's arms. She found the group in the court yard and charged at them full speed. She knocked the lion to his feet and stood over Animus. "Back the f**k off!" She snarled.
-
*Dubaku arrives back at school, he then exits his car with a Chipotle bag, and locks it* God dayum, I love this car. *he makes his way into the school and notices somethin' going down in the courtyard* Yo, the f***?
-
*zaida didn't want to risk getting in trouble by the police and walked back to the school giggling as she plopped on the grass watching the group look over something* "Hmm?"
-
Acon flattened her ears and bared her awful teeth. Her lips curled back in a defensive manner as she growled and foamed at the mouth.
-
Thomas went to the courtyard, attracted by the calls for help. He saw animus getting the tar kicked out of him, and Acon going to defend him. He would help... But he was to afraid. He would help him, but he was afraid there would be two guys on the floor there. He was no good in a fight without one of his knives, and he really didn't want to bring a knife to school. That would get him expelled. And he didn't want that to happen. So he stood there, unsure of what to do.
-
*he gets a better look of the situation in the courtyard* Yo, I think I know that dude. *he thought to himself as he looked at the student in the center* Well, time to grab my spoon. *he quickly retrieves his lacrosse stick and enters the courtyard* Yo! Bruh! Y'all wanna dance!? *he loads in a lacrosse ball and shoots it at one of the guys in the group, hitting him square in the ribs*
-
Fredric stood behind Thomas, someone – obviously fuelled by the fight currently happening – pushed him into Thomas.
-
"Agh!" Thomas goes, turning around to face his attacker "Who the hell?"
-
"Sorry..." Fredric looked at Thomas. "Umm... Could you f-follow me for a minuet?" He walked towards a small area in the courtyard what was hidden from the rest.
-
"Sure." He said, following along "what for?
-
Ray stepped out of the school building, and sat in the courtyard. He watched the events unfold, taking notes of who did what.
-
*zaida listened to music as she drew the fight on a black piece of paper*
-
Fredric reached the area and waited for Thomas.
-
Thomas got to the hidden area, saw Fredric, and smiled at him "Why are we back here, might I ask?"
-
Ray had seen Thomas and Fredric withdraw from the group, and payed good attention to them.
-
Fredric put his hands on Thomas's shoulders, stood on his tiptoes and kissed him.
-
Thomas recoils slightly for a moment, surprised, but then returns the kiss.
-
Ray blinked, and shook his head. Not my business. Good for them, they've got a thing. He nodded, and continued to observe the group. Ray fiddled with the side of his left leg, in case someone saw the two.
-
*zaida looks around seeing them and raised a brow for a second but then shrugged minding her own business not really a person that cares for sexualities*
-
Animus layed on the ground dazed and in pain he was only thankful it stopped. The lion roared in anger. "The f**k do you think youre doing?!" the lion yelled at Acon
"M-Mom..." animus said then tried getting up only to fall back to the ground
-
Acon sprang forward and socked the lion right in his nose to make him stagger backwards. She danced from foot to foot, her fists up and ready like a boxer for the win. Acon moved forward and munched the lion again. She kept hitting him and hitting him until the front of his shirt was completely bloody.
-
Fredric kissed Thomas deeper, before breaking it and smiling.
-
*as the supervisor tried stopping the fight it was no use to only tell the principal*
*the rhino in the suit nodded his head at the supervisor* "ok..." *he stood over the cheetah supervisor. Walking outside he roared* "STOP ALL OF YOU!!!"
-
Yo, Acon, toss me that ball back, would ya?
-
The lion struggledaway from Acon and ran,the group followed, Animus'vision was blurry from his tears but he managed to see them running right before he lost consciousness. He layed there breathing heavily. The photo had fallen from he lion's pocket and landed in a puddle.
-
*Dubaku went to pick up the photo* Huh...
-
Acon kicked Dubaku his ball and turned to lift Animus onto her back.
-
*the principal got mad seeing no one paid attention he then walked to Acon and grabs her by the scruff of her neck* "everyone listen!!"
-
Thank you. *he scoops up the ball* now to enjoy some chipotle
-
Acon made a face of disgust, but the principal's actions didn't hurt at all. She just let him have control... this time. "But principal man!"
-
*he looks at her* "don't say a word!! All of you to the office!! I'll be talking to you all!! And ZAIDA YOU TOO!!"
*he points at zaida*
*zaida slams her sketchpad* "WHAT DI-"
*the principal roared at her* "SHUT UP AND TO THE OFFICE!!"
*zaida rolled her eyes and walked to the office texting while she walked slowly*
-
Ray shrugged, and stood. Not the first time he's been accused, and certainly not the last. He limped behind the principal, his face neutral.
-
"I'm sorry, sir." Thomas said "but you just assaulted a woman. And I will testify as such."
-
Acon lamely smacked the principal's paw. "Sir, could you let go of me?"
-
"She could press charges, sir. I reccomend you let go."
-
*he laughed a bit* "well on the school laws if students hurt one another i must stop it now matter what it takes and as you see the poor young lion is bleeding and might be injured badly.." *he looked at acon* "you need to go to the office as well... AND ZAIDA OFF YOUR PHONE!!"
*zaida flips him off mocking him*
"And you young sir to the office.. Your a witness or victim who knows I need information of what happened" *he huffed and walked to his office*
-
Thomas gave a laugh as well "well, sir, you have no proof that it wasn't self defense. And until you do, you should treat them equally. Innocent until proven guilty, right?"
-
Acon rolled her eyes. "Lewis, we've been playing this game since Dox graduated. And that poor lion was mashing some kid's potatoes. I had to teach him what for!"
-
*the rhino looked around seeing ray* "you too.. Office.. And acon you were probably helping I know that but did the lion touch you first?" *he said looking at her as he opened the door to the office for her*
-
Acon scoffed. "That jack waggon didn't get a chance to even THINK about laying his hands on me." She smirked.
-
"C-cant you... just look a-at the... security cameras?" Fredric offered a solution.
-
Aaron woke in his apartment late that morning. The first thought that crossed his mind was the cafe. Had he gotten the job? He wasn't sure. Then...Animus. That kid...
Aaron had a shower since he was already late, and he made himself a lot of toast before brushing himself down and doing his tai chi.
He sinned his usual gear plus his satchel and made off to school.
...
Aaron entered the school grounds and sighed. Time to make more new friends. But not before he hunted down his confusing friend to say hi.
-
*zaida smiles in the office*
*the rhino sat down in his seat* "yes I can check the camera's but first of... Zaida you spray painted a police officers car.."
*zaida says sarcastically* "noooo.."
*rhino almost about to yell gets interrupted by Zaida's paw in his face*
*she looks at her phone and chuckles then calls her mom* "Hmm? Ok... Here it's for you.."
*he hold the phone to his ear* "hello?... Yes.. She did.....*he went silent for a moment and his eyes widen and mouth drops* "WHAT REALLY!? DEAL!" *he hands zaida's phone back*
*zaida smiles*
*lewis clears his throat* "zaida, and any of her friends are excused.."
-
Acon rolled her eyes. "Dude, seriously. That's f**king weak." She turned and left the office, a little disappointed in Lewis's will.
-
*lewis laughs* "not weak if it's money hahah!"
*zaida left the office laughing* "now to sue him, what tard!!"
-
Acon rolled her eyes again. She never thought much of people that threw their money around like they were hot shit. She also hated the way people thought all their problems would go away with a law suit. All taking someone to court did was get you shot. "Nope. Still weak." She muttered.
-
Aaron walked through the grounds and saw a gaggle of students leaving the principal's office. He smiled but eyed them suspiciously as they left. He knocked and entered.
"Please excuse my lateness, sir," he smiled but not too broadly. "I wonder if I might pick up my timetable or wether you have a download system on the school site for that. Additionally, I wish to know the whereabouts of Animus...uh..."
Aaron cursed himself. He'd already lost the sirname of his new friend.
-
"Ah it's fine! Just tricked my students though haha... She thought she could bribe me but I knew that was a fake call..." *he says to himself* "your Aaron correct.. I'm Lewis your principal so do you need anything?.." *he starts calling zaida's parents*
*she looks at acon* "he touched you right?"
-
Animus groaned as he opened his eyes to a squint, he was in the nurse's office, his body was bandaged heavily. He groaned as the pain and memory of what happened started coming back. He looked up at the cieling and put his arm over his face, "I lost mom" a few tears fell back onto the cot. He then looked out the window and thought of Aaron. Where was he? After the interview, Mark said that he could start tomorrow, and that Animus was the one to tell him.
-
The crazed thumping of footsteps could be heard outside the nurses hallway.
A thud could be heard outside the office.
Then...silence.
After a while, Aaron gently opened the door and padded softly inside. He was nursing a slight bruise. The second he had heard about his friend he had hurriedly excused himself from down the hallway.
He caught sight of his friend and a look of shock stole his face.
"Hey..." He said softly, thinking if his friends well being despite wanting to interrogate him as to the names of his assailants. "How're you holding up buddy?"
-
Animus saw Aaron and smiled slightly. He wiped his eyes and sniffled, "Aaron! Y-You're here... Im doing good!" he tried to force a small laugh but it only resulted in a cough and wince
-
"Shut up...no you're not." Aaron sighed. It looked like he was up for butler duty. Additionally, it looked like the Blade family demon fox payback techniques were going to be employed early.
Aaron pulled up a chair and sat beside his friend, gently putting a hand over Animus' eyes and brow.
"What happened to you?"
-
Animus shakily grabbed Aaron's paw, "M-My locker... was broken into... they took.. Mom's picture and so i wentto look for it... the lion.. he..." he looked away and stopped talking in fear of breaking down again.
-
Ray limped into the office, and sat. "You wanted to see me, sir?"
-
Fredric discretely held Thomas's paw as he whispered in his ear. "Do you want to come to my house after school?"
-
*he stops talking to zaidas parents* "yea I will ok thank you.." *he looks at ray* "well I trust you so what happened?"
-
Ray shrugged, and scratched his leg. "Not really, sir. I wasn't around when the fighting started."
-
"I want the names and faces of these people. After school I have a thing to do. Then with your permission I'd like to meet your fam...ily. They took your mother's photo?"
Aaron wondered. Surely a photo wasn't so bad - unless of course his mother was dead. Aaron bit his lip at that thought.
-
*he nods* "okay... Thank you oh also send zaida here"
-
Ray shrugged. "I would like to bring another topic to light, if you don't mind, sir."
-
*he looks at the clock* "I suppose so, I have time so what is it?"
-
Ray cleared his throat. "It's your action with one of the students, out in the yard."
-
He shook his head, 'My mom's photo was the only family i had... i forgot to take it out of my locker yesterday when we left for the cafe... oh right.. Mark said that he wants you at the cafe working tomorrow..." His mother and father had died in a housefire two years ago... that photo was the only thing saved. "And the only person to worry about is the lion, his name is Devine... he's always been pestering me..." he lowered his head, "Im sorry..."
-
"I know... I'm probably going to get fired or sued but I can't do anything now.. Besides I'm having a hard time and it was a bad reaction..." *he sighs*
-
Ray glared at the principle. "Sued, or fired? Try a few in prison. Assault, especially against a student, is a criminal offence. I merely wanted to inform you, that I was going to the authorities, sir." He stood, and walked out.
-
"I...I...s-see." Aaron said, utterly crushed by this news. "Where have you been living all this time?"
-
*he rolled his eyes* "don't care.. Been in prison before.." *he sat down thinking of his wife and put his head on the office desk*
-
Animus stayed silent and only looked at Aaron, he gulped.
-
"Well..." Thomas whispers back "well, yeah. I'd love to come over!"
-
"Animus...where have you been living!?" Aaron demanded, now on the whole worried.
-
Ray glanced at the principle, and whispered to himself. "Weak." He sent the video he took to the authorities, with a text saying that had happened today. Ray limped around, and sat. He massaged his thigh, and pulled at his left leg.
-
"i... ive been sleeping... in the cafe... when Mark leaves... i sneak in and stay there..." he looked down and frowned "i didnt want to bother anyone... please dont tell Mark..." he looked down
-
*after a couple hours the police picked up lewis*
*the speakers went on and was heard* "school will be cancelled for a week or so..." *every student began to leave*
-
Ray moved, and sat on a courtyard bench, and called out. "Can someone lend a hand, please?"
-
Aaron glared at his knees. His fists were balled. All he wanted to do was fly out of control over the injustice that had made a slave of his friend.
"And you're okay with this?" He whispered, his voice shaking. "You're okay with just sitting back and taking needless punishment!?"
Aaron stood up and stood there, shaking. His eyes - usually slitted - had shrunk further. How eyes were welling up from rage. Aaron stood there for a long while, projecting an air of wrath.
Calmly, he spoke.
"The second you're discharged from here you find me, you understand? Then go grab your things and take them to maple street, the apartment block by the bakery. You take them to room number thirty - and you stay with me, do you understand!?"
Aaron stated at his limp and piteous friend with fire in his eyes.
"I'm going now. To live up to the demon in my name..."
...
That evening, Devine the lion was found in the park wearing a towel, chained to a tree, with both his legs broken.
-
*zaida sat under the tree she always got art ideas there* "hmm lets see what to draw" *she put the eraser part of the pencil to her mouth thinking* "ahhhaa!" *she begins to drawing*
-
(( sorry I was gone so long, what did I miss ))
-
"Good... My parents aren't home today." Fredric smiled and kissed Thomas on the cheek.
-
(There was a fight and the principal grabbed acon and he was sent to jail, school is off for a week)
-
"Well," he says, smiling and returning the kiss "let's get to your house, yeah?"
-
((Awesome)) I get in my car and reach into the glove box grabbing a pack of cigarettes
-
"Yeah..." Fredric stood and smiled.
-
"You know," thomas said, pushing open the exit to the school "I think I'm breaking you out of your little shell!"
-
Fredric nodded. "Yeah... I think you are." He continued walking home.
-
He gave him a little peck on the nose, smiling "well, what're we gonna do?"
-
"I don't know..." Fredric gave a cheeky grin. "What was that you offered yesterday?"
-
Acon walked out of her brother's apartment complex with tears in her eyes. She held a tissue over her bleeding nose and tried to open her swollen eye.
-
*zaida was halfway done with drawing the monster that she used to have in her nightmares as a small child*
-
"Well," he said, returning the grin "we could do that! I'm glad I don't have to wait all week!"
-
I lite the cigarette and start driving home
-
Acon walked down the street, hugging herself. She found a spot near the bay and sat with her legs dangling into the water. She watched the little crabs try to hang onto her toes.
-
Fredric hugged Thomas as he arrived at his house. "We're here..." He lifted a gnome and took the key from under it. Fredric then unlocked the door to show a rather expensive looking interior, he walked through the door and waited for Thomas to follow.
-
*zaida finishes and sighs* "I remember those nights.. When my parents didn't give a f*ck and let me cried myself to sleep.. I hate them" *she tosses her sketchbook*
-
I see Acon walking and follow slowly behind her in my car letting out huffs of smoke I park my car when I see Acon sit I get out of my car and walk up quietly behind her
-
Ray limped down to the bay, and sat. He pulled at his left leg again, and sighed. Ray looked around, and spotted Acon. "Umm...e-excuse me? Could you give me a paw?"
-
"Huh." He goes, following him through "nice house!" Definitely more expensive than his. "Let's see how we can use it!" He gives a cheeky grin
-
Acon jumped and turned to Ray, then Ben. "W-what's going on?" She jumped to her feet.
-
I saw you crying so I came to calm Ya *takes another huff of smoke*
-
Ray smiled. "Sorry if I interrupted something here, I just need help." He motioned at his leg. "If one of you would be so kind?"
-
*after a while zaida got up walking home humming to herself as she played on her phone*
-
Acon wiped at her good eye and looked between she two again. "What do you need help with?"
-
Aaron strode with his hands in his pockets down the street, his head hung low and his tails not splayed like usual. Tonight, SOMEone was being chained to a tree. He sighed.
The demon fox clans were all cruel in certain ways. Good people inside, but still cruel. What was Animus going to think if he found out?
"Oh, you did this? For me?" He asked in a high voice, putting on a teary face.
"My lord, you're a monster! Get away?" He tried again, imitating animus both times. He sighed again. Maybe animus didn't need to know. Maybe he could blame it on another local delinquent.
He stopped and game to himself staring at the ocean on the beach.
I has a Facebook! Enigir Shosa's the name, having 2500 accounts is my game!
Help me. Also this is my signature.
-
Ray pointed at his leg. "Could you pull on this, please?"
-
Acon took a step back. "W-what?! Look, if you're some kind of pervert, I don't want any part of that."
-
Ray shook his head. "No no. I'm not looking for a woman, I just need help. Please?"
-
"I can help" I walk over to ray "what am I supposed to do"
-
Acon crossed her arms over chest and stuck her nose into the air.
-
"Acon, Hun can you take this" hands Acon the cigarette
-
Ray looked up at Ben, and smiled. "Thank you, just pull." He fiddled with his left thigh for a moment, before gripping the ground behind him.
-
I pull on Rays leg hard
-
Acon took Ben'a cigarette and stuck it in her own mouth.
-
The appendage clicked, and flew from Ray's pant leg. He sighed. "Thank goodness! Thank you, friend!"
-
"Well that's a new one" hands the leg to Ray then gets up and sits next to Acon putting my arm around her
-
Ray dug around the inside of the appendage, and pulled out a rock. "Yeah...been like this for a while now...people treat you different when they know, y'know?"
-
Acon leaned against Ben. "How have you been?" She gently touched her eye.
-
"Pretty good, now you must have quite the story about that shiner" takes the cigarette and takes a huff
-
A foxy head popped sheepishly out of the water by the group Acon was in and called out.
"Hey...you guys haven't seen any uh...clothes floating around here have you? I was swimming and the water kind of...got me."
I has a Facebook! Enigir Shosa's the name, having 2500 accounts is my game!
Help me. Also this is my signature.
-
Acon sighed. "I uh... I fell... into my brother's clenched fist. He wanted me to pick up... something for him today, but I couldn't cause of school. So, when I got home, I 'tripped' and he 'caught me' with his fist."
-
"Well that's a bunch of shit, want me to kick his ass"
-
Acon shook her head. "N-no. He's... pretty big, and mean. He'll beat the crap out of me again." She turned to the new fur. "I saw some clothes floating down that way." She pointed.
-
"Cheers." Aaron dived and swum away. About ten minutes later he walked, dripping but still oddly good looking, up to the group.
"I overheard some of your chatting. You wouldn't happen to know if it relates to one 'Animus' would you...?" Aaron's tone was pleasant enough but he was ready to employ his martial arts at a moments notice.
I has a Facebook! Enigir Shosa's the name, having 2500 accounts is my game!
Help me. Also this is my signature.
-
Acon narrowed her eyes. "Why would he have anything to do with this?"
-
"Why indeed. Forgive me, I am new to town. Aaron Blade." Aaron extended his arm for a handshake and smiled disarmingly.
"Forgive my inquisition. I'm merely trying to establish by social role and the roles others play in the community."
I has a Facebook! Enigir Shosa's the name, having 2500 accounts is my game!
Help me. Also this is my signature.
-
*Dubaku walks up to Zaida* So, rich prick to rich bitch, whatchu drive?
-
Acon shook she fur's paw. "Yeah, nice to meet you. Name's Acon."
-
"A pleasure, miss Acon. So what does one do to kill time here?" Aaron asked, wondering if he was about to go for a night of tyre slashing. He started running off questions and trying to phrase them so as not to arouse suspicion. He didn't like being a target - but only because his efficient retaliations weren't always easy to cover up. Chaining the lion to something would possibly rouse suspicion...
I has a Facebook! Enigir Shosa's the name, having 2500 accounts is my game!
Help me. Also this is my signature.
-
*she looks at dubuka while walking home* "don't call me that and why do you care?"
-
Ray observed from the bench, his leg beside him.
-
Just do whatever you want man
-
"I see. I'll not worry about the inherent values associated with maintaining a civil degree of order," Aaron said, his silver tongue getting the better of him. He swore briefly in his mind and shivered. He sighed and made to move on...
I has a Facebook! Enigir Shosa's the name, having 2500 accounts is my game!
Help me. Also this is my signature.
-
'Ey, don't blame a nigga for bein' curious, y'know. *he unlocks his Lambo, the distinctive chirp can be heard*
-
"I don't know what you said but ok" smiles and laughs a bit
-
*she rolls her eyes* "why can't you talk with proper grammar... And stop cursing" *she sees her house in the distance and sighs in relief* "look im sorry but I gotta go.."
-
Whatever, brah. *he gets in and starts the engine, he then rolls down the window* Yo, lemme know when you can actually drive one of these. Better hurry, because there were, like, only 200 of these made, and they goin' fast. *he revs the engine*
-
"I hate those cars besides why buy that sh*t when you can make your own.." *she enters her house and jump on the couch slipping her shoes off*
-
Acon sat up and smoothed the front of her jacket. She sighed as she threw the bloodied tissue in her nose away.
-
I smother the cigarette and throw it
-
Ha, make your own, you're thinkin' PCs. Yea, make your own car and see if it can out run a Lamborghini Aventador. You must be retarded or some sh**. *sigh* It's alright, no need to be jealous, I'll let you ride up in it one day
-
Acon brought her knees up under her chin. "I don't wanna go home."
-
"You don't have to go back I'll stay with you" holds Acon close
-
Acon smiled up at Ben. "R-really?"
-
"Any day"
-
*zaida turns in the t.v watching walking dead while she drinks dr.pepper and eats pizza* "damn I lost lot of episodes.." *chuckles* "guess I gotta catch up.."
-
Acon smiled brighter. "O-ok!" She hugged Ben tight and buried her nose into his chest. "Thank you! Thank you!"
-
I smile and run a paw between your ears softly
-
Acon giggled. "S-so... what are we gonna do?"
-
Whatever you want, no regrets, anything is cool with me
-
*she pauses the show walking upstairs getting in her tang top and her black and dark purple poka dot pajama pants turning up her music making the noise blast outside and she grabs a canvas starting to paint a zombie inspired from walking dead* "why have I never thought of this..." *she says smiling*
-
Acon thought a moment. "I uh... I don't know. I've never been out this late without something to do."
((I love cannibals! Gaia knows what I'm talkin about. :3))
-
Animus stood in front of the apartment building, he recalled the last words he heard Aaron say... demon? He shook his head and stood nervously, unsure of how he felt for Aaron. He heard what had happened to Devine. But surely that couldnt have beem Aaron... could it?he thought. He gulped and picked up a small satchel,he kept trying to take the first step towards the door but he couldnt do it.
-
"Well I've got a car it's gassed up we can go anywhere do anything, we can stay here if you want" smiles
-
*Dubaku enters his house and changes into rasta PJ pants and a white tank top* *sigh* Dayum, finally time to myself
-
Acon sat back and crossed her arms. "Let's go to the park."
-
"Hi." Aaron said from behind animus, clapping him on the shoulder. He skunk from the darkness, as if pleased with himself, and motioned for Animus t follow him inside.
I has a Facebook! Enigir Shosa's the name, having 2500 accounts is my game!
Help me. Also this is my signature.
-
"Oh I love the park, shall we" smiles and gets up opening the passenger side door
-
Acon hopped in Ben's car and buckled herself in.
-
I start the car and start driving to the park "so what are you thinking of doing at te park"
-
(((Don't forget the chained up lion in the park XD )))
-
*zaida gets paint all over her clothing and fur* "damn! For my first zombie that looks f*cking sick!!!"
-
Acon shrugged. "Play around maybe. I don't know."
-
Ray sighed, and walked towards 'home', or rather, a burned out warehouse. His parents both died in a car crash, that also cost him his leg. Ray walked in, and opened up a cargo container. Inside was a small alter, a doll of himself, and a few vials of blood. He'd been trying to put himself inside the doll, if any reason, to prove that he could. And, perhaps someone would take him in, give him a home.
-
Animus jumped a bit then calmed down seeing as it was Aaron, "y-you scared me..." he shuffled in place for a moment then went inside
-
"How are your injuries?" Aaron asked as he trudged around the hallways. He unlocked his door and held it open for Animus. "You'll have the couch tonight. I'll sort our proper bedding come tomorrow I swear."
-
"So you haven't told me yet, are you up for anything?" I smirk
-
Acon raised a brow and looked at Ben. "Define 'anything'."
-
"Ya know... Stuff"
-
Acon frowned. "What kind of stuff? Illegal stuff? Stuff that might end in complete embarrassment?"
-
"Little bit of both I guess" laughs
-
*zaida gets bored painting and grabs her phone calling gav'riel* "come on please answer..."
-
Acon raised a brow. "Uh..."
-
"my injuries are almost gone... and you dont have to do so much im fine with just the couch! youre doing so much as it is..." Animus looked up to Aaron. it was still hard to believe he was going to be iving with someone else, let alone Aaron,a guy Animus cared for deeply and romantically.
-
"Never mind, shouldn't have asked.. Anyway" parks the car and hops out walking into the park
-
Acon hopped out and followed Ben. "Well, hold on! I don't even know what you're asking!"
-
Aaron shrugged and whipped his shirt off, flinging it into the washing basket. His scarf remained in place.
"Don't get the wrong idea." He said with a wry smile as he heard a little gasp behind him. He stood in place and looked around. He nudged the door closed with three of his tails and gestured to the meagre kitchen.
"Hungry? Wanna watch something or play video games? It's only Japanese stuff I'm afraid. I'm kind of a sucker for jap stuff. Oh, bathroom and shower's that way."
-
"Nah it's fine, it was a stupid question anyway" I shrug
-
Ray worked on the alter, trying all he learned. He held his prized possession in his paws, an amulet, carved from pure obsidian. Ray checked astronomical charts, and calculated that there would be an eclipse tomorrow. Hopefully, he could get everything set, and capture the light of the black sun in the trinket.
-
(((Wasn't this no magic? Wass going on?)))
-
((Don't worry, I tried something like this in high school. The only trouble was...I never got my black sun...So I gave up.))
-
Animus blushed bright red and could feel his ears burn, "im... im fine with japanese! japanese food actually does sound good!" he looked away and made his way to the couch and saw the controller on the coffee table, he picked it up and studied it. He pressed a button and it caused the game console to start up, his ears flickered and perked. He looked back at the shirtless fox, his ears started burning again as his tail wagged. He patted his cheeks and shook his head and returned his gaze to the tv.
-
(( that's deep brother ))
-
((Oh my.))
-
Keeps walking along the sidewalk my paws shoved into my pockets
-
Acon trudged on beside Ben. "You gotta tell me now! I'll die if I don't know! Do you want me to die, Ben?!"
-
"Nah I'm just another lustful guy, that's it" sighs
-
Acon raised a brow. "Oh~ why didn't you just say that?"
-
"No no, the food's western enough." Aaron said. He watched Animus react as he played with the controls and started fidgeting, wrongly assuming that it was excitement over the game console.
"I'm a halo fan too. Wanna co-op on that? I recently got four. It ain't bad. New guns are to die for. Ugh...I don't feel like cooking. Two minute noodles and soft drinks?"
Aaron ambled to the kitchen and waited for a response.
-
"I don't know.."
-
Fredric woke up next to Thomas, he cuddled him and smiled.
-
"Heh..." Thomas goes,cuddling him back "that was fun, wasn't it?"
-
Fredric blushed a bit. "Y-yeah... Umm... I lov... Umm."
-
Thomas smiles at him, and says "I love you too."
-
Acon shrugged. "Ok, well I would have said yes quicker if you just said that." She laughed.
-
I smile "oh heh"
-
Acon sat on a swing and flipped herself upside down.
-
I sit on the swing next to you
-
Acon, still flipped over on the swing, turned to Ben and poked his knee. "Ben, why did you stay with me?"
-
*zaida look seeing a blood puddle around her as she looked down seeing she was tear open* "ahhhh!!" *she woke panting and holding her chest and lean her back against the wall* "oh my god.... Just a night... just a nightmare"
-
"Because I like being with you"
-
Acon nodded, accepting answer. "Oh, cool beans."
-
"Why do you ask"
-
Acon blushed a little. "Just uh... just wondering."
-
I smile and chuckle a little "I don't think your telling me everything" I smile
-
Acon laughed and giggled. "Whatever do you mean?"
-
"C'mon give me the whole story" I smile and laugh
-
Acon shrugged. "Once upon a time, there was a super hot guy that was under a spell that blinded him. The spell was so strong that the guy didn't even realize he was spending time with the weirdest chick in school. The end."
-
"Well the super hot guy did know what he was doing and he liked weird in fact the super hot guy loved this weird girl" I smile
-
Acon flipped herself upright and smiled at Ben. "Is the super hot guy high off his ass?"
-
"No the super hot guy left his weed at home"
-
Acon nodded. "Cool. The super hot guy has gained my seal of approval."
-
I smile brightly "it's good to know I got the official Acon seal of approval"
-
Acon smiled knowingly. "It is. Embrace it! Not many can acquired it."
-
"It is my honor to acquire such a token" I smile and stand up
-
Acon smiled and leaned forward to set her chin in her paws.
-
I start whistling and put my paw out to you
-
Acon took Ben's paw and stood.
-
I keep whistling and I begin dancing with you
-
Acon groaned. "Uh. Why are you doing this to me? I can't dance." Acon jumped up into Ben's arms and wrapped her legs around his waist.
-
I smile "hey I suck at dancing too" laughs and looks into your eyes
-
Acon laughed. "Good! That way we can suck together when senior prom rolls around."
-
*zaida turns up her music that was another day (xkore remix) the loudest she can as she painted the zombie picture moving her head with the beat as it blasted* "haha f*ck yea." *other Furries complained that lived near her* "shut the hell up hahah!"
-
"Yes, we will be the suckiest dancers at prom"
-
"Th-that sounds good too!" Animus smiled, he held the controller and scooted over to give Aaron a little space to sit down next to him, "Ive played halo beforte... when i lived with... oh nevermind! Lets just play!"
-
*after zaida was done she passed the time by messing around, watching t.v, and after a while it was 10:32 a.m*
-
Ray ascended to the roof of the warehouse, and left his amulet up there, surrounded by mirrors. He got prepared for school, and wandered towards the institution. I hope it works...I just want a home, someone's affection. I-I don't know what I'll do without it. Ray sighed, and entered the building. He limped into the bathroom, and looked at his face. Small symbols were scattered across his face, and he wiped them off, hoping that everything would go as planned.
-
Acon dragged Ben into the school by his paw. She wanted to see what kind of things they could get into while school was out.
-
I smile and follow behind Acon
-
Acon turned to Ben. "Is there anything you might wanna do while we're here?"
-
There's nobody here right
-
Acon nodded. "Nope. I don't think so."
-
"Perfect" I grab you by the paw and kiss you
-
Acon gasped a moment before she smiled and leaned into Ben's kiss. She put her paws on either side of his face.
-
I kiss you deeply putting my paws on your waist
-
Acon smiled and wrapped her arms around Ben's neck.
-
I smile and kiss your neck softly
-
Acon giggled and nibbled on one of Ben's ears.
-
I smile and kiss you again "where you wanna go"
-
Acon blushed and smiled up at Ben. "I uh... I- I don't know. Wherever."
-
"How's the auditorium sound to you"
-
Acon thought a moment before she shrugged. "Sure, why not?" Acon started leading Ben to the auditorium.
-
I smile and pick you up carrying you to the auditorium
-
Acon giggled. "What are we gonna do in there?" She played with the collar of Ben's shirt.
-
"I've got a good idea, I'll show you when we get there" I smile and continue walking
-
Acon shrugged. "Works for me."
-
We get there and I set you down and open the door for you
-
*in the auditorium were a couple of guys talking to one another with a other female tied up with bruises and cuts*
-
Acon walked through the door and looked around the room. she caught sight of the small group. "What the hell?!"
-
"That's new, Acon get down and stay quiet" I pull out the glock
-
Acon was going to object, but just grabbed his paw. "Ben, wait. What if..."
-
*as the girl was a freshman and cried as the rope over her mouth made it unable for her to speak*
*male bear looks at the girl smiling as his gang stood behind him: "what for her"
*the husky looks down smoking his weed as he giggles seeing the girl struggle*
*crocodile looks at him and ask:"whatchu got?" *his group behind him whisper*
-
"I anything happens, run, fast"
-
Acon let go of Ben's paw and ducked low behind a few chairs.
-
*the crocodile see's the weed, cocaine, and meth in his back pack* "niiiice"
*zaida walks in* "how's it going big bro?" *the husky looks at her angrily* "ZAIDA I'm at work" *he pulls a gun out and his badge* "get down!" *the other furs around him do the same*
Crocodile "shit!!" *he runs off ditching his gang and ran out the doors holding the backpack and the bear chases after him* "freeze you f*cker!!"
-
Acon stood and watched the event take place with a smile of amusement.
-
I get up an holster my hand gun
-
Acon hugged Ben from behind and buried her nose into his spine. "Man, this is better than cops."
-
*the bear comes back with the crocodile* "stuff ass.."
*the husky pins the crocodile to the wall beating him until he was bleeding and crying in pain* "how do you like it you F*CKING PR*CK!!"
*the bear helps the girl up* "you'll be fine sweety... Zaida I need you to go to the red mustang outside and grab the health kit...?"
*zaida nods and walks outside*
"It's ok shhh..." *the bear pats the girls back*
-
I smile when Acon hugs me, I was still amazed the police haven't seen us in here yet
-
Acon watched the group before them with a bit of interest. "Maybe if we're quiet, they won't ask us any questions."
-
I lay on the floor to hide
-
*the husky throws the crocodile on the floor making him hit his head and fall into a coma* "you two...come here" *he says turning his face to acon and Ben revealing the huge scar across his face* "don't think I didn't see you guys.. Now please come here.."
*zaida walks back in throwing the health kit to the bear and walks to the husky*
-
I stand up and take Acon by the paw thinking shit shit shit we walk over quietly
-
Acon raised brow and tried pulling Ben in the other direction. "What are you doing? I don't wanna talk to some pig." She growled under her breath as Ben pulled her closer to them.
-
"Listen these guys are serious, got in some trouble with them before"
-
"Yeah, I'm serious too!" She whispered. "My family'll kill me if they find out I was talking to the law." Acon looked around, a bit paranoid and hoping Dox doesn't just pop up out of nowhere.
-
"Ben im waiting..." *the husky says waiting getting impatient*
*zaida nudges his side* "I know them there ok.."
*he looks down at her* "are you my boss?"
*she put her ears down* "no sorry.."
-
"Ok here's what you do, you run as fasts possible and I'll meet you at the bay"
I walk over quietly
-
*he looks at ben* "now stop acting so jumpy.. I just need you not to tell no one especially your girlfriend...that's all your not in trouble.. But if you tell anyone it could spread like a wild fire.. And if it gets to his friends, they could find where I live and kill my wife and kids and if that happens i with beat that person until they die with their blood on my fists, you understand" *he looks at Ben straight in the eyes waiting for a response*
*zaida looks at the two worried if her brother does anything*
-
Acon narrowed her eyes at the cop before she left for the bay.
-
"Understood sir" I walk backwards to the door
-
Ray watched, as the sun darkened, and smiled as it passed. He prayed and prayed that something would've happened, but when he reached the set up, he was disappointed. The eclipse had not been entirely full, so the process failed. Ray held the amulet, and sighed. "Oh well...we'll try again some day."
-
Acon walked along the street with her paws jammed in her jacket pockets.
-
I run out the doors full speed and out of the school
-
*he stares at Ben slowly walking out and clenched his teeth and closes his hands to fists and when the crocodile woke up he started beating him up again*
*zaida was outside already messing with her thumbs*
-
I run up behind Acon and poke her on the shoulder
-
Acon turned and smiled at Ben. "Hey. What happened?"
-
Aakor was testing how good he was at climbing and before he knew it he was higher then he usually likes to climb or can climb. "Oh s**te!" He shouted as he slipped and fell to the floor at the stairs leading up to the third floor.
(( only doing this because I'm not going to be active very often for a while. ))
-
"Nothing, but hey don't talk about what we saw to anybody"
-
Acon nodded. "Oh, ok."
-
Yeah sorry about that
-
Acon shook her head. "No no. It's fine." Acon stepped forward and kissed Ben.
-
I smile "sorry I didn't exactly get to show you the surprise"
-
Acon giggled. "It's ok. You can show me next time."
-
"It would be my pleasure, heh and yours"
-
Acon smiled brightly and blushed.
-
I smirk and kiss you
-
Acon leaned into the kiss when her phone rang from her back pocket.
-
I kiss you deeply and talke your phone and toss it a few feet
-
(((Aw heck naw! Gurl you gun let ben do that to yo phone!? id be slappin that face of his!!! jk carry on... ))) XD
-
(( haha well it's not you XD ))
-
((Haha!))
Acon giggled and continued kissing Ben.
-
XP (((haha id probably be the same about it actually!)))
-
((You'd keep kissing me? Haha))
I smile and run my paws down your sides
-
Acon her paw through Ben's hair and smiled as they kissed.
-
I smile and grab your hips
-
*zaida runs through the park with scratches and bruises finally falling on her back* "this sucks..."
-
Acon giggled. "Ben, I..
"
-
"I love you Hun" I smile
-
Acon bit her lip and looked into Ben's eyes. "I... I love you too."
-
I pick you up and spin around then set you back down
-
Acon giggled and kissed Ben again. "You're a dork." She teased.
-
I kiss you back "I know" I laugh
-
Acon blushed and deepened the kiss.
-
XP (((haha! you know i would)))
-
I murr slightly and hold you close
((I'm flattered))
-
*she sits up* "rule to self never climb trees" *she sees her brother walking to her and she gets scared*
*warrik finally walks up to her* "what the hell were you doing in that tree?!"
*she stutters* "just i- i was bored.."
*he raises a eyebrow* "I just wanted to tell you" *he pics her up by the shirt and sets her on her feet* "the thing I told Ben.. Make sure he doesn't tell ANYONE"
*her eyes widen* "WHAF HAPPEN TO YOU, YOU USED TO BE SO NICE AND.."
*he interrupts her* "stop yelling jeez.."
*tears build up in her eyes* "what did I ever do to you!"
*he growls and pulls a cigarette out and starts to smoke* "nothing... I just..." *he stops an crushes the cigar in his hand* "I'm sorry.." *he mumbles before walking off to the bench and sitting down takin pills* "it's hard trying to take care of my family even though they left me.."
-
Acon whimpered, gripping Ben's shoulder. "I love you." She whispered.
-
I whisper back "I love you too"
-
Acon sighed and buried her nose into Ben's chest. "W-what now?"
-
I rub your back softly "my parents aren't home"
-
Acon smiled. "Ok! Let's go there."
-
I smile and lead you to my car
-
Acon followed close behind Ben to his car. When they arrived, she hopped into the passenger seat.
-
I smile and start the car driving to my house "I leave in a" *cough* "beach house"
-
Acon smiled. "A beach house?!"
-
"Yeah" pulls into my driveway behind a couple sports cars
-
Acon looked out her window in awe. "Wow. Why is everyone around here a rich f**ker?"
-
"Yeah.... It's not that cool..." I get out of my the car and pull my house keys out
-
Acon hopped out and followed Ben. "Where are your folks?"
-
"Out of state for a few weeks" I put the key in the door and turning it with a click, I open the door and throw the keys on te floor
-
Acon wiped her shoes on the mat and followed Ben inside. She looked around the house with wide eyes.
-
I take my shirt off and stretch before plopping on the couch
-
Acon shrugged off her jacket and sat in Ben's lap. She kissed him and rested her head in his shoulder.
-
I smile and hold you close
-
Acon sighed and closed her eyes, pulling her feet up on the couch.
-
I smile and close my eyes holding you tight in my arms
-
After a few house, Acon woke and lifted her head to kiss Ben's cheek before set off to find a bathroom.
-
I wake up slightly then pass back out
-
Acon wandered the halls of the house with an open mouth. "I haven't see a place this big since dad kicked me out."
-
Aaron sat beside Animus and heaved a heavy sigh.
"Since who?" He asked, kinda tiredly. "An'way, what you want for dinner...?"
-
"i'll eat whatever you do... im not very picky. And since i lived with my... parents." Animus recalled loosing his mother's photo, he chocked back the lump in his throat and smiled "ready to be schooled by a halo legend!?" he said then giggled
-
"I prefer co-op. But I guess..." Aaron yawned, and promptly fell sideways into Animus' lap, asleep.
-
Animus freaked a bit and blushed, "A-Aaron?" he realized Aaron had only fallen asleep and smiled, "sweet dreams" he whispered then pet Aaron gently and soon fell asleep himself
-
The area was grey. A young pup skipped out of the primary school gates. The graze in his knee hurt a bit but was fine. But they didn't know that...they didn't know that as they rushed across the street -
Aaron woke with a hiss of drawn breath and sat up. A passing truck blared it's horn as it drive by. He mumbled a curse and looked at animus blearily. Why was he here? Oh yeah...
Aaron sat up and his stomach growled. He hadn't had dinner...? He sighed and waddled to the bathroom. Apparently school was out. This was perfect. Wait. Didn't animus have work today? Didn't he? He left the bathroom and nudged animus gently awake.
-
Animus gasped and opened his eyes widely,he jumped forward and hugged Aaron tightly, "MOM DONT GO BACK IN THERE!" he gripped at aarons fur desperately then snapped out of his trance, he realized it wasnt his mother he held tightly
-
"M...morning." Aaron said, hoping the pair's tiredness would blank out the hint of sadness in his voice.
-Looks like we were dreaming about the same thing- Aaron thought to himself.
"C-Cereal for breakfast?"
-
*zaida was finally home* "this sucks ass!" *she threw the ball causing it to hit a vase and break* "oops" *she says sarcastically*
-
-oh crub oh crub oh crub oh CRUB!- Animus thought. He was too embarrassed to notice anything else. He slowly detached himself from Aaron "i... dont like cereal..."he saw the clock nearby and realized he was going to be late,that Aaron was going to be late. His mind snapped into full gear as he grabbed Aaron's arm and pulled him to the door "We are so dead if we dont leave now, i will make us something at the cafe! I wont have you being late on your first day mister!" he realized that Aaron was still shirtless and still hot as ever "get dressed!"
-
"Easy, easy! I got a uniform waiting there don't I? I'll slip into that when we arrive." Aaron grinned sleepily and motioned for Animus to wait. Then he produced an iced coffee from the fridge.
"I keep these for when I oversleep. Or if I'm hungry. It won't make a breakfast but mark won't kill us for being tired either."
Aaron cracked the drink open, took his turn dragging animus along and skulled half of the drink. He passed the other half back to Animus as they moved briskly down the stairs and out of the building.
-
Animus did his best to keep up as he was dragged along, he held the coffee and took a sip then made a sound of disgust, "im sorry coffee really isnt something i like" he looked up at Aaron and then looked down at his hand holding Animus', it felt so warm
-
Aaron checked the street four times as he approached, and a fifth before actually crossing. The pair arrived at the cafe pretty much just before opening and Aaron knocked on the door and grinned at Mark. Aaron didn't really care that he wasn't wearing a shirt in the middle of the morning street.
"Sorry my tastes aren't great." Aaron mumbled to Animus. "We'll go shopping next pay and I'll note the stuff you like. Till then it's a guessing game."
-
Mark looked at the two and squinted, he was at the bar cleaning glasses like before.
"No i didnt mean it like that! i... im sorry im just not used to this and..." he held onto Aaron's paw with both of his, "if its alright id like to cook something for you tonight!" his gaze trailed down to Aaron's torso, he blushed again and quickly looked away
Mark unlocked the door as he saw what was going on
-
"U-uh! S-sure man! Your call~!" Aaron said shakily. A thought had struck him - was Animus just a friendly guy...or could it possibly be that the effeminate wolf boy possibly liked Aaron; was interested in him romantically?
He turned to face Mark and smiled as calmly as he could.
"Animus told me you had employed me - thank you so much."
-
Mark grinned, "dont thank me yet heh." He opened the door and then looked to Animus
"Remember... its special uniform week for you." Mark huffed then Animus groaned
He looked back to Aaron, "uniform is in the back... lemme show ya..." he walked to the bar and through a door behind it
-
"He dresses you as a lady to spark customer attention doesn't he?" Aaron asked flatly as he followed Animus. "Oh, what's did he say about the scarf?"
-
Animus nodded and scratched the back of his head "i get paid extra for it... so its not like i mind really.." a flat out lie. last time he ressed up it caused an uproar, two delinquent hot heads ended up wrecking the cafe fighting over Animus. "oh and as long as you wear your uniform anything extra is fine"
-
"Mark flat out forced you to wear it, you couldn't refuse because he's terrifying and you're timid, and he isn't paying you extra at all, is he?" Aaron said flatly, remembering his he and "she" had first met, knowing how Animus was as a person and putting two and two together. He sighed and petted his head.
"You're a piece of work, Animus." Aaron sighed and smiled inwardly. He'd been just like Animus when he'd lost his parents. His family had brought him up to be strong, they had been his support. And now it seemed that it was Aaron's turn to help somebody else. But under his guidance...what would Animus become?
Aaron felt a thrill of fear. What if he got it wrong, and hurt Animus? Or was blinded by his emotions and obliviously turned Animus into a monster?
He looked at animus, lost in his shame. No...he wasn't a bad kid. Aaron sighed again.
"I see you." Aaron said, referring to the body, mind and soul of Animus in their entireties. "But what do you see, I wonder. Animus...let me...let me be your light. U-until...you learn to see." Aaron blinked and looked away.
(((You fell asleep didn't you, Sub? XD Also a fun thing for anyone reading this touching RP - I can't stop humming the Kingdom Hearts II track that plays over The World That Never Was and I'm getting massive Kingdom Hearts feels...)))
-
Animus stopped and turned back to Aaron,looking at his face, "o-okay..." his heart started beating a bit faster, was this... love? He kept looking at the fox. "Aaron i..."
Animus felt the warm paw on his head,the same warmth that still lingered in his own paw. For the first time in two years, he didnt feel alone. He felt happy. He made it up in his mind that he did love Aaron.
"I need to know your shirt and pant sizes..." he changed the subject entirely... thats animus for you
-
Aaron gave his sizes to the shifty wolf and took his clothes. Without even thinking he slipped out if his shorts and in one smooth and fast motion he slid his pants on. He put on his socks and shoes next - all of which were black - and proceeded to take of his scarf. His neck was...was...!
Unmarked. Ordinary. Boring. He caught animus looking.
"Haha, quiet lie? My neck's fine. I just have a scarf thing. Well...a collar thing. Most of the time it's socially acceptable but I don't like being thought of as someone's pet. Plus scarves are neat."
Aaron buttoned up his white shirt, tucked it in, tightened his belt, slid his apron on and fixed it as he pulled his scarf back around his neck. He grinned. His shirt was a little tight. He liked the look. He availed himself of the mirror and was quite happy with way he saw. He splayed his tails and posed a little. Then he came to himself with Animus staring.
"U-uh..." He said, staring embarrassedly back. "S-sorry. My loved ones used to claim I had parakeet or budgerigar in me...heh. Hurry up and change."
-
Animus couldnt stop looking at Aaron,he looked REALLY good in his uniform,and collar!? "W-Well actually... i wear one... a collar... i have a few. but is it really that unacceptable?" he started undressing, a bit embarrassed seeing as Aaron could see him in his complete normalness, well mostly. The only noticeable thing was a medium sized scar on his right shoulder blade, a burn injury.
He grabbed the maid outfit and slowly put it on, he felt Aaron glancng which made him all the more nervous. He pulled the panty hose and heels on along with the sleeves. To any other person, Animus was a girl who looked as if she worked as an actual maid. "W-Well? does it look okay?"
-
"!" Aaron made a surprised noise in the back of his throat. Animus was incredibly attractive - the transition was amazing! Aaron looked away.
-don't tell him he's cute don't tell him he's cute don't tell him he's so cute think of something to say Aaron he's staring at you and it's adorable but don't tell him- Aaron thought frantically.
"I think I'm hungry." Aaron mumbled.
-Oh, ya can't take THAT the wrong way AT ALL- he cursed himself.
"Breakfast?" He coughed and walked out. He was too busy trying to stay same that he didn't stop to think that his off reaction might offend her - uh, him.
-
Animus giggled, he didnt think anything but that Aaron was still hungry "you must eat a lot huh?" he grabbed two bagels and went to Aaron offering him one.
Mark looked Aaron up and down and let out a grunt, he saw Animus and blushed ever so slightly, "that is bound to get some business..."he scratched his chin and grinned, "Hey Ani, you free tonight?" he glanced to Aaron and studied his reaction
-
Aaron blinked and studied Mark himself. Free tonight...? Was the cafe a place that operated into the moonlit hours? Or was Mark a pervert trying to take advantage of Animus, who had no willpower. If that was the case, would it not be better to sub in and take Animus' place? If Mark was a perv then he had no place in a public place like the cafe. Aaron would break him the Blade family way and run things himself - no...he would manipulate the next in charge. Either way Animus would be safe.
No...the town was full of sub-fur degenerates but Mark seemed honest enough. This was all just paranoid thinking. Was it better to simply ask why, or ask for late training and observe the situation?
It was that the point - asking Animus to show Aaron the ropes tonight?
However Aaron acted, it was his one and only shot. In his head, he put on a manic grin. This was life, this was feeling alive! To calculate variables and alter one's future!
But this future would affect Animus' future too. Aaron wasn't ready to gamble Animus' fate just yet. What to do!?
Aaron measured his breathing. His face was straight. The next move was theirs. Staying silent generally yielded more results anyway - if Mark didn't explain himself THEN Aaron would step in - especially if Animus wouldn't talk about it later. Then something would be irrefutably wrong. Aaron relaxed a little.
The next move wasn't his to be made...
-
"W-W-What!?" Animus covered his face with his paws. Mark looked back to Animus and got right in front of him,he leaned down a bit to be eye level with the small wolf "What im saying is either way... dressed up or not, yer a cute little thing and i wouldnt mind taking you out for a nice night after work." Mark moved a small strand of Animus' hair from his face "Whadya say?" Animus kept his face covered and let out a small whimper "Thanks for the offer.. b-but i already promised Aaron id cook for him tonight..."
Mark glanced over to Aaron again, he knew how foxes like him operated... this was simply testing how far he would and could go before Aaron would show him how protective he was of Animus
-
"Hehe, you're dangerously attractive, aren't you?" Aaron beamed at Animus cheerfully. His mind was reeling. This had to be a test. Otherwise Mark would just smother Animus when Aaron was on his lunch break.
Aaron reached out and poked a nerve in Marks neck with a claw. Mark froze.
"When we first met I mentioned my martial arts, boss? My life led me to an interesting teacher, and I'd happily tell you about all the things I can do to both organic and inorganic matter. I appreciate you're testing your new staff but Animus is clearly unsettled."
Aaron hit another nerve and greed mark. If by some chance that slow brawn crushed Aaron's arms, he had a knife hidden in his scarf he could wield with his teeth. His sensei had taught him much and had helped him through his pain. But he would never let his secret weapon be seen. Those who saw it died.
"Now I'm no barista so I'll need one guidance before we open." Aaron smiled warmly.
-
Mark let out a huff and rubbed his neck, "yeah yeah Ani here personally volunteered"
Mark walked past Aaron bumping into him, a small note fell into Aaron's pocket with the words, 'see me after work without Ani'
Mark went to the back and started the stove, "d**n brat..." he grumbled
Animus looked to Aaron worriedly, "You shouldnt have done that. i dont want you getting fired becase of me. i can handle it. he really is a nice guy... Mark. well anyways lets get started shall we?" animus brushed his skirt off
-
(((THIS RP ROCKS! Having to think my way through situations, having such great characters to work with, I too feel alive! ...if only I were so calculating and mentally strong IRL - I mean I am as smart as my characters because they come from my mind but IRL I'm not so fast on the grey matter - and I don't get int dangerous situations. Hehe.)))
"If he's so nice then he won't fire me. Face it, he's as much a salve to his desires as everyone else in this town." Aaron said bluntly.
-Even me...but I'm in it for you too- Aaron added in his head, guiltily. His face didn't waver as he planned his next move. He knew. It came to him - when Mark heard about the lion Aaron chained to the tree the fox would just casually drop the fact that the lion had been the last person to mess with Animus. Until then...Animus didn't leave Aaron's side until he was stronger. Aaron didn't want Animus to get hurt.
"Yeah, show me the basics!" Aaron smiled as charmingly as possible. He'd be careful about it, but maybe he could use Animus' apparent infatuation with him to calm the wolf down in stressful situations. The numbers added up...
-
(((wel im happy youre enjoying yourself... i love this RP too its very interesting to say the least)))
Animus couldnt think like that, even if he tried. He believed that everyone was good deep down. He simply shrugged off the desires remark and went to flip the closed sign to open.
"Okay okay.... always wipe tables off as soon as customers leave and the dishs are gone... notepads for orders are in drawer behind the bar. ummm always try your best to make the customer feel good when they leave, so you gotta show those pearly whites mkay?" Animus handed Aaron a rag and got one himself,he started to rub down the tables and set chairs on the floor, "he coffee machine is simple enough everything is labeled thanks to your truly. Mark is the chef but i usually make any complicated orders... Mom taught me how to cook so i like it." Animus questioned the last part of what he said
-he didnt need to know that. oh ani you goof he will just think youre a cybaby that always relied on his mom- he thought
-
"Everyone is a slave to their instincts, without exception." Aaron said flatly, but acknowledging the instructions he was being given. "I've noticed the way you are around me. The way you look at me. Tell me to my face that you do do because you want to, totally and utterly out of your own decision irrespective of your primal wants. Tell me the lost souls in this degenerate, backwards town do what they do to each other and to you purely because the town requires an ambience and not because they are filled with wrath, lust, greed, pride, gluttony, envy and even sloth!"
Aaron realised he was behaving too heatedly and backed off. Animus knew. He of all people knew. But this mentality of his was one he designed to protect his sanity from a world he hated inside. Aaron was like that once, too. His expression softened.
"Your mother sounds like a smart woman, preparing you for your life ahead from a young age." He absently wiped a table down. Mother...
-
"yes, i can say it... i do this because i want to. because you of all people chose to speak to me... to be kind to me... even after you realized i wasnt a girl. my mother was awesome." Animus stood with his back to Aaron wiping a table. "you could have just left me as soon as you found out that first day... but you didnt... why?"
-
"I knew you'd ask." Aaron said. He wiped tables in silence for a long while.
"I know why you say that. I know you know the truth behind how this world operates and I know you truly hate it. So you hide behind you smile and pretend everything is okay even when the world around you is collapsing. But you have it wrong. You need to hate your circumstances and use your strength to cope with reality, not cope with your circumstances and hate reality. Hate is a release to your social limiters, Animus. It isn't evil. People are evil, and hate releases it. Don't you think I have hate? I'm full of it! My parents died because they couldn't pass up the chance to get hit by a truck because I had a little grazed knee! For a long time I hated the world and coped with the jeering. But then I met my master. He taught me to hate the jeering injustice, he taught me to fight, and he told me to deal with reality. By accepting this new perspective I changed reality and became strong! As for why I stuck with you? It's simple - I couldn't ignore my desires. I clapped eyes in you and saw another haunted soul where none should be! And don't be naive - I didn't see myself in you. Frankly I'm not so sure I'd give myself the time of day. But you...you're the seed for positive ideals, if ever that existed. And besides...positive ideals..."
Aaron trailed off as he moved to the next table.
-
Clattering was heard then Animus was in front of Aaron, hugging him tightly, tears in his eyes, "you dont mean that, its not possible. please stop saying scary things Aaron. i dont know what your 'Master' taught you. but i dont hate... not ever. i dont hate Devine, i dont hate Mark. And i certainly dont hate my circumstances, because then, i wouldnt have met you." Animus trembled slightly and gripped at Aaron's fur, "hate does not release evil... and evil is not what we are.i refuse to accept that!" Animus was tempted to tell Aaron how he trully felt but he also knew this wasnt the right time nor place. "y-you dummy... youre a big dummy..."
-
---"One day you will meet someone who will completely destroy everything about you, my pupil." The tall imposing figure said.
"Teach me how to defend against it!" Aaron, barely a teen, demanded.
"Insolent child, you cannot defend against that which you cannot see! When this time comes, you must believe like never before in your strength, and ability to heal. Now get out if my sight." Aaron's master said.---
Aaron stood still, as Animus held him. He couldn't move to dry those tears. Because...because...Animus was crying for him. So this was the one who would destroy everything about Aaron - his ideals and beliefs.
-Get off me...let go, you're being stupid...!- Aaron thought desperately. He couldn't speak. He could barely breathe.
"Customers are going to come soon." Aaron said flatly. It was all he could do not to let his voice waver.
-
---"Little ani, you have a special heart. It can melt the coldest of hearts and heal the worst of injuries. Never give up on your own heart, never give up on love or life" Animus looked up at his mother, he was only a child back then, he had no idea what she meant until now---
Animus gripped tighter, "okay... so what?" he knew that he may have been pulling at Aaron's fur a bit too tight. He didnt care. Aaron was that cold heart, it broke Animus' own heart to see him like this, he worried at how Aaron lived before they met,it only made his tears fall even more. Maybe it was the time... Animus couldnt tell anymore, "please let me in, is that how you really feel about whats going on? or are you just repeating what youve been taught?"
-
"I...I'm...trying to do my job...this will just get us fired...someone will walk in..."
-Am I trying to...escape!?- Aaron wondered. He shook where he stood.
He tried to say more. But his conviction had slipped. He hardened his heart a little and pushed Animus gently away. He turned away and picked up the chair Animus had knocked over.
"Don't challenge my ideals when I'm trying to protect you..." He whispered.
-
Animus stood there, he couldnt do anything more and he knew, but he just wanted to go right back to holding Aaron, he wiped his eyes and sniffled, "You asked to see my parents? Im going to their grave today... its up to you..." he turned away and went to go put the samples out on the displays,he hummed silently to himself as he arranged small nibbles of food outside on the plastic trays. His smile returned slowly and was back by the time the first customer arrived. "Welcome!"
-
"Irasshai!" Aaron added; welcome in Japanese. He continued scrubbing.
-
The woman smiled at both of them and sat herself in a small single seat table, Animus brought a cup of coffe to her and got out a notepad from his pocket, "What can i get you miss?" the Woman ordered a princess parfait along with a petite doughnut,Animus scribbled it down and rushed to the back, "it will be right out!"
"What a pretty girl..." the woman said with a soft smile
Animus lipped to Aaron, "keep her coffee glass full"
-
Aaron stood at a respectful distance and put on a pleasant and subservient expression. He kept his tails splayed and evenly spaced.
-
The woman sipped her coffee quietly and looked out the window,her tail swayed and hungs out the back of the chair. Animus helped Msark out in the back preparing the parfait the doughnut on a dish steaming.
The coffee glass was almost empty.
-
Aaron slid silently away, reappearing besides he customer with a slight cough.
"More coffee, milady?" He asked, with a flourish in both his free hand and his voice.
-
"oh! what a gentlmenam! please." she held up her coffee cup
"you wouldnt happen to be dating that cute girl would you?"
-
"Perhaps when we learn more about one another. After all, it does little for love to rush." Aaron said diplomatically, wondering for a brief moment if some celestial force was testing him. He gently poured the coffee an stepped back once more.
"Please, enjoy."
-
"oh how sweet. good luck young man" she smiled at him happily as Animus came out with the parfait and doughnut "here you go ma'am! enjoy!" Animus set the dishes onto the table and backed up to Aaron's side
-
"Things are going well so far." Aaron mumbled, wondering how long it would take for someone to barge in from somewhere and threaten assault in some fashion. "Your advice? You are my senpai in this."
-
As if something heard Aaron's thoughts, a low rumble was heard as a large gang of men and women of all ages rushed to the cafe hearing that the cute maid was back and ready to serve. "And now... the day begins..." Animus sighed, "get ready to take orders. ill be in the back, mark will take my spot as server for the most part"
The number of customers seemed to never end no matter how fast or hard they worked, Animus came out to deliver complex dishes, only to be felt up by pervs or hit on by men. Animus ignored them as best as he could and tried to not say anything and simply smiled. Mark had kicked a few out by then when he caught a few of them. Animus kept looking at Aaron, admiring how he looked and that smile that seemed to quicken Animus'heart as well as the girls. By the time the crowd died down,the cash register was stuffed with loads of cash. Animus was already out of his uniform and heading to the door. "thank god thats over... mom, dad... here i come"
-
"Let's go." Said Aaron, beside Animus. He wore his red shorts, blue scarf and a fine greatcoat which apparently no longer belonged in Mark's ownership.
"I'm sorry I couldn't keep all those customers off of you. I did my best within he limits of my job."
-
"Dont worry about it! Just knowing that you tried is enough for me. Besides Mark has gotten good at spotting the frisky ones now a days" Animus smiled and walked down the street, he walked close to Aaron's side. "So you ready to meet em? i think theyve been dying to meet you.... no pun intnded" Animus smiled lessened slightly. The cemetary was peeking up as they walked further.
-
"Of course Mark would recognise the perverted types." Aaron grunted. He didn't comment on meeting a couple of gravestones - after all, he had a pair waiting for him back home. He was practically used to it.
-
Animus skipped along the path and stopped at a large marble tomb, his smile faded, "Hey mom... hey dad... youlll never believe what happened! I made a friend. His name is Aaron Blade... and he is really nice." Animus saw Aaron trudging along slowly, "Aaron come on theyre waiting!" he looked at the tomb closely "i hope the keepers have been keeping things clean..."
-
"Hello...my name is Aaron Blade - your son likely mentioned that. He's a good person, you should be proud. He works hard at the cafe and frankly deserves a raise. He'll be getting one soon, I think. Possibly because he counts as senior staff. I...I've promised to look after your son. So if you've been worrying, you can stop. My master taught me to be strong. Oh, right. He's living with me now, too - n-nothing serious, it's just he was staying at the cafe before."
A chill wind blew the trees, Aaron's scarf and new coat to one side.
"I'm sorry I met you both this way."
-
The last words Aaron said hit him hard. Animus wished now more than ever that they could be here. To meet the first person he had ever fallen in love with. He was sorry too. His paw slowly drifted closer to Aaron's. He wouldnt cry this time. "Aaron" he grabbed his paw, feeling that familiar warmth again.
-
"How did this happen?" Aaron asked Animus quietly, as if to avoid insulting his family.
-
"it was... stormy... electrical lines broke from tree branches falling and they hit the house... i woke up and smelled smoke, dad was carrying me and then laid me dow on the grass... he went back in to try and save mom... the house collapsed... all i could tell was that my back burned... then i woke up in a hospital" his grip tightened on aaron's paw "Aaron... look at me."
-
I wake up early in the morning and stretch, I get up quietly not to wake Acon then go to a doorway with a pull-up bar in it, I grab the bar and pull myself up
-
Aaron fixed a sharp eye on his friend. He brought his tails together and lowered them all. He blinked. The sun was going down, and Mark actually had recommended Aaron stay late with Animus to learn all the basics. Unfortunately Mark himself wasn't going to be present due to the severity of the...conversation...he and Aaron had shared.
-
Acon woke up after a while and sat up on the couch. She rubbed drool from her chin and looked around, almost forgetting where she was. When Acon remembered all that went down last night she groaned and stretched.
-
walks in to the school wearing a black sleeveless shirt and black jeans and combat boots with a rainbow badana hanging out of his right back pocket
-
I walk back into the living room "hey hun"
-
*zaida say on top of the school building shes been there since 5:00 in the morning and watched the cars pass in the busy street ahead*
-
Acon smiled at Ben and crossed her legs. "Morning."
-
"Want some breakfast" I say draping my shirt over my shoulder
-
Acon nodded eagerly. "What are we having?"
-
"Whatever you want" I smile
-
Acon thought a moment. "Let's make eggs and sausage!"
-
"Sounds good to me" I walk into the kitchen and put a pan on the stove
-
By now Aakor had been rushed into hospital and was in a comatose state. His brain could still keep him alive just not awake.
-
Acon got up and followed Ben into the kitchen. She at a table and crossed her legs under her.
-
I crack four eggs into the large pan and turn the burner on
-
Acon watched Ben from where she sat with a dreamy smile. "So... what else can you do for your woman? My mom always used to say 'if a man can cook for you, he's a keeper.'" Acon giggled. "If you say you can fold your own laundry, we're getting married tomorrow." She teased.
-
"I guess that means we're getting married then" I laugh and put the large pan on a low burner and pull out another pan
-
Acon giggled put her elbows on the table, holding her chin in her paws.
-
I put some sausage in the other pan
"So how'd you sleep hun"
-
Acon shrugged. "I slept pretty well. Better than usual." She smiled. "I hardly ever get a good night's sleep at my brother's place."
-
"You can stay with me for a couple weeks if you want" I smile and put some sausage on a plate with two of the eggs and then do the same to another
-
Acon looked at Ben with a raised brow. "Your parents won't mind?"
-
"They are out of state remember, they don't have to know" I hand a plate and fork to Acon with a smile
-
Acon nodded. "Right. I almost forgot." She took her plate and started eating, shoveling food into her mouth quickly.
-
I smile and eat some of my breakfast
-
When Acon was finished, smiled brightly at Ben. "That was delicious! Thank you."
-
"Just for you" I smile and stand up taking the dishes to the dishwasher putting them inside
-
Acon watched Ben a moment before she looked about the room. "So... what kinda fun things do you do here?"
-
"I work out, go for joy rides, blast classic rock, play guitar, and swim" I laugh
-
Acon giggled. "Sounds like a blast. Working out requires me to get physical and that's gross." She laughed. "I suck at stringed instruments, but I'm boss at the triangle. Then swimming?" She shuddered. "I'll dip my toes in the water, but I have to get In there and move around, you might as well just let me sink to the bottom."
-
Well there's a hot tub a pool and the beach
-
Acon held up a paw. "Did I just hear hot tub? Ben, I think at this point, you don't even need to try and romance me anymore. It just kinda happens for you."
-
I laugh, "so I assume hot tub then"
-
Acon nodded. "Yup! Hot top!"
-
I smile and take Acon by the paw leading her to the hot tub
-
Acon beamed with excitement. "So, I don't have a bathing suit. I-I hope skinny dipping won't be a problem."
-
"Not for me," I take my clothes off and leave them in a heap
-
Acon followed suit and removed her own clothing, revealing the corset piercing on her back. She ran up behind Ben an hugged him. "This is gonna be fun!"
-
I smile, "I agree"
-
Acon moved infront of Ben and leaned up to kiss him. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
-
I kiss you then pick you up and get in the hot tub
-
Acon sighed when she felt the warm water soak into her fur. She continued to kiss Ben deeply, running her paws over his shoulders and through his hair.
-
I hold you close to me and put my paws on your hips
-
Acon giggled and buried her nose into Ben's neck. "I love you."
-
"I love you too" I nibble on your neck
-
Acon sighed and hugged him as close as she could get him.
-
*I run my paws up and down your thighs*
-
Acon up and smiled at Ben, holding his cheeks in her paws. She kissed his nose and smiled brighter.
-
I grab your butt and kiss your neck
-
Acon yelped in surprise but soon smiled and ran her paws over Ben's back.
-
And some time later, I breath heavily and smile "heh that was fun"
-
Acon nodded, trying to catch her breath. "Yep." She giggled.
-
I kiss you then slouch a bit
-
Acon smiled and rubbed between Ben's ears. "My brother would kill me if he knew what I was doing." She laughed.
-
"He'd have to get through me first" I murr
-
Acon and leaned forward to touch her nose to Ben's. "I know." She giggled.
-
I smile and kiss you softly
-
Acon sighed. "This probably been the best morning I've had in forever." She tugged on one of Ben's ears.
-
I completely agree with you
-
After a while Acon climbed out of the hot tub and shook herself out like dog.
-
I follow suit
-
Acon turned to Ben and gave him a smile. "So, what now?"
-
Joy ride?
-
Acon shrugged. "Why not."
-
I grab the keys to one of the sports cars
-
Acon got dressed and headed out the front door to wait for Ben.
-
I walk out the door fully clothed wearing camo and a black tank top, I push the button and a lotus Elise comes to life
-
"Wow." Acon said with an impressed look in her eye. She jumped into she car and studied its inside.
-
Animus woke up on the couch, he remembered what happened last evening.
---"Next time you go to visit your parents. Take me with you. id love to meet them!" Animus smiled up at Aaron, he noticed the sun setting on the horizon. "So... can we go... home now?" he couldnt help but keep looking into Aaron's dazzling eyes,it felt as if time had stopped---
-
"The lotus it is then" I hop in the drivers seat and put the key in the ignition
-
Acon adjusted her jacket and looked at Ben with a bright smile. "So... where to?"
-
Anywhere I wink and pull out fast
-
Acon giggled and leaned over to kiss him.
-
*zaida kept the house clean and organize angry that her parents were on another business trip. She laid on the couch looking at her house in disgust* "why do they need money... We have enough.. They just care about money..."
-
I lean over and kiss you before putting the car in first gear then slamming on the gas
-
Aaron was standing by the window, gazing out I to the streets with a hard expression. He was lost in his own mind. In the memories he had of his parents, of his master. He knew it was already over, the battle to remain as he was. But he was scared. Scared to change. Scared of getting hurt.
The director of the cafe below Mark had fallen ill - that was his fault. Mark himself wasn't quite up for cafe duties. That was Aaron's fault. So it remained up to him and Animus wether the cafe opened the next two days.
Aaron wondered. Did he offer to take Animus with him for a bus trip to the Fox's hometown, to meet his set of gravestones? Or did they run the cafe? Honestly...Aaron wanted to sit at home and hide from the world - to play games and send Animus somewhere. But then Animus might get hurt. Aaron frowned as Animus woke up, still gazing out the window.
"Morning." Aaron said softly, turning to smile at Animus. He turned back to the window, still smiling. Even after the training am the wolf had given him at the cafe he had still cooked that meal. The guy had been dog tired - no pun intended - but had still made some delicious food.
"Tea? Toast?" Aaron asked.
-
*zaida got up of the couch yawning* "man I'm f*cking lazy..." *she calls her mom and dad but they don't answer* "of course...."
-
Animus had a serious case of bed head. A usual thing that happened for him, he yawmed and let out girlish moans and grunts as he stretched, "Morning." he had a groggy smile on his face as he made his way to the bathroom, "toast sounds great." he looked at the mirror and giggled
-
*zaida put on a jacket walking outside* "wonder what are new principal is?" *she shrugs* "why do I care...." *she makes her way to the bay and sits down looking at the mist and then her watch showing 6:00* "damn...." *she puts her feet paws into the water making them move back and forth causing the water to move around as she hums to help*
-
(((I think it's five days till school starts again, assuming we had the whole week off. Not counting weekends it's three.)))
Aaron choked on his own spit.
-S...so cute...- he thought. He ambled to the kitchen and fixed some toast and started on the tea.
"What you want on your toast?" He asked the bathroom door.
-
((4 days to be exact))
-
"Ow... ow... id like... ow... butter and strawberry... ow... jelly on mine please!"Animus was wrestling with his hair, trying to straighten it with a brush, he managed to get it tamed down,he then reached into the cabinet under the sink and grabbed his satchel,he reached in and pulled out a collar, his casual house wear, which consisted of said collar and a large shirt long enough to cover his thighs and loose enough to look as the hed put on a lover's shirt. He managed to fasten it and then studied how it looked in the mirror, the design was simple enough, studded with a small plaque on the front saying 'Anima Libera' along with a small bell that jingled as he turned side to side. He nodded in approval and left the bathroom. Animus sat back on the couch and rubbed his eyes, "so whadya wanna do cap'n?" he looked back,the bell jingled again
-
"Right." Aaron sighed as he thought. He waited for the bread to toast and put everything but the jam away.
(((We call it that where I live. Jelly, jam, same stuff. :3 )))
"H-hey. Do you...feel like travelling today? I had an idea. But it isn't really important, so I'd you don't feel like it don't stress."
-
Animus smiled "Im totally up for it! i mean im up for anything... a-as long as im with you...." he blushed and looked away, "so... where are we going?"
-
"Two or three towns over, through the city. We'll be using public transport and getting there should take half the day. I was thinking we'd spend the night then the rest of tomorrow coming home. I was thinking...we could see my folks. I lied about it bit being important, by the way. Just to take pressure off. Um." Aaron finished making their breakfast and served both on the coffee table. He sat and clapped his hands together.
"Itadakimasu~!" He said. He looked at animus. "The japs say that before eating. Literally it means 'we recieve'. Generally it translates to 'thank you for the food'."
-
I pull into the drive slowly not to wake Acon
-
Acon stretched and sighed, but kept her eyes closed and went right back to sleep. She curled into a tight ball whimpered in her sleep.
-
I park the car and open my door and take the keys out, I walk around the car and open the door and pick you up sitting down with you im my lap still curled up
-
Acon stured a little, but calmed down and stopped whimpering. She clutched Ben's shirt and buried her nose in his chest.
-
"You ok hun" I say holding you closer
-
Acon opened her eyes lazily and looked up at Ben. She nodded and forced a smile on her lips. "Y-yeah. I just had a bad dream. That's all."
-
"Okay" I kiss between your ears then smile
-
Acon smiled and let her ears drop. "I love you... so much." She whispered.
-
*zaida got a email on her phone and read it* "school starts on Thursday...." *she says out loud* "dammit only one more day to enjoy break... That sucks ass..."
-
"Hmm..." Thomas says, placing a hand on Fredric's shoulder "last day of the break. Kinda wanted to take you airsofting. So, whaddya say to that?"
-
"Umm... O-okay!" Fredric smiled hugged Thomas.
-
"Alright!" Thomas says, smiling "let's get you to y house and get all tac'ed up, soldier boy!"
-
I smile and whisper in your year "I love you so much more sweetie"
-
Acon giggled and hugged Ben tight.
-
I smile and hug you tight
-
Animus smiled softly, "id love to go see them. it sounds like a great plan." he clapped his hands together, "Itadakimasu!" his tail wagged happily as he looked at Aaron. "So do you know where we will be staying when we go?" he took a small bite of the toast then siped the coffee trying his best to look like he enjoyed it
-
"Well, we have two options," Aaron said as he scratched his head. "We can either stay with my family, an hour out of my hometown...or we can stay with...my master..."
Aaron mumbled that last part and cringed. He saw Animus' expression and blinked.
"That's tea by the way."
Home...what a daft idea. He had only met this guy a few days ago but already he was getting comfortable, as if this new lifestyle had been in place for ages.
Aaron wasn't sure which 'he' he was thinking about.
Aaron sighed and sipped at his tea. He wasn't comfortable, he was I'll at ease. So why was he suddenly planning to just up and take Animus to the Blade family graves?
And accommodation...sleeping in a car would be less painful. Furthermore if the both went to stay with Aaron's remaining family in the Blade estate there was no doubt Animus would be socially tortured; he didn't have enough mental or emotional strength to either fly under the radar if be respected by the Blades. Aaron himself wasn't even respected; he was considered a runt. And if the blades saw Aaron and Animus as 'together'...they'd both be majorly chewed out.
So that just left master. He lived locally, and he treated everyone equally: with derision. At least he wouldn't lay a paw on Animus then. Animus was quite obviously Aaron's Destroyer. As such, he was Aaron's problem.
Either way it was going to be a nasty trip. Why, why, WHY could Aaron not just stay home and play games, watch movies?
He knew, though. He was in an uncertain period in his life. He just had to throw himself into the fray and I his healing after.
"I can...try to make you look a bit less effeminate, if you like. You can borrow some of my clothes. I'll fix your hair, but then we need to go. The trip is long and sucks pretty badly."
-
"Well hmm..." Animus rest his head in his paw and tapped his chin, "Master or Family... i'd like to meet both really... oh this is hard!" he closed his eyes and thought about his situation, he was living with a guy that he met only a few days ago... but it felt as if they'd known each other for years. "And is something wrong with the way i look?" he looked at Aaron with a tilted head,sure he tried to convince people at school that he wasnt a girl,but only because he would be pestered even more if he didnt. In reality he liked the way he looked. Maybe Aaron was emberrassed of his effeminateness, he thought.
-
"Well you always hate looking so ladylike," Aaron said slightly defensively. "A-and besides, you're just wearing a shirt! You can't travel without pants, no matter what your gender!"
Aaron but hard into his toast, a bit embarrassed. Did...did Animus only complain about his looks in public?
It was an awful decision to have animus make; where to stay. He stood up and left the room. He came back wearing grey pants, a white shirt - both of which looked sort of like combat monk wear - under a modern, long black coat. It was different to Mark's, however. Of course Aaron was wearing his blue scarf as well. As usual he had forgone shoes. He slumped on the couch and have Animus a look with his thin green eyes.
-
Animus giggled and stood, the collar on his bell jingling softly due to this, "I see i see... Aaron contrary to popular belief i do like how i look... denying it at school is only for school. Unless... you dont like it then i guess... ill change." he looked to the floor, he didnt really like to act like something he isnt but if it was what Aaron wanted, he would. He waited for Aaron's answer before he put anything on.
-
"I...dress how you want, stupid!" Aaron blushed and looked away, picking at a buckle in his coat.
-DAMN DAMN DAMN! Now I've made him uncomfortable. I bet he feels set upon now, like I'm just another jerk trampling him. Dammit!- Aaron cursed himself. He fixed an eye on Animus but looked away when his glance was met.
"A-are you getting changed or not? We need to go." Aaron tried. His annoyance at himself had crept into his voice - he sounded tense but not angry.
-
"I-Im sorry!" Animus quickly ran to the bathroom and came out with black shorts and his usual red hoodie on
-I didnt upset him did i?- animus thought
This was the first time Aaron was ever really stern with Animus. He twirled his hoodie fastening string around his finger as he thought. "Oh wait!"
He rushed to his satchel a pulled out an object wrapped in paper, he tucked it in his hoodie pocket and went to the door, "Onward!"
-
"What's that?" Aaron asked, sighing once more as he stood. He rinsed out their dishes, grabbed his wallet and made out the door.
The streets were cold and a light drizzle had set in. The bust stop was a few minutes walk away - as long as the school but in the other direction.
Aaron glanced at Animus again.
"So? Where do you want to stay?"
-
"Secret." Animus said as they stood a the bus stop and patted his pocket, "Well we are visiting your parents so id like to stay at your family house. But maybe we could visit your Master sometime too, right?" he was somewhat excited, he wondered what Aarons family was like, if they would like him. No turning back now.
-
Aakor finally woke up from his coma gasping for air. "...oh my f**king God!"
-
"My...family? Sure." Aaron swallowed hard and walked in silence for a bit. His coat rustled in the wind and rain. The sky opened just a little more.
"Animus? My family aren't really...worth your time. They're what you'd call cruel. To be honest...taking the ridiculous train fare in the evening might be better."
Aaron fell silent after that. Was...was Animus excited for this? His beliefs in people's inherent goodness were about to be squashed flat. Then again...his school and work lives knew no bounds of suffering.
Aaron vowed anew to protect Animus.
-
"Oh im sure they arent that bad... and we can always just leave and go to your Master if it gets too bad." Animus looked up at the sky and felt the breeze ruffle through his fur, his hair swayed as well as his tail, he walked along the edge of the side walk and held out his arms trying to walk in a line. He felt the rain droplets hit his face, he smiled.
-
"Right." Aaron said, unsure. While Animus was distracted he paid for both of their bus fees and dragged the wolf with the crescent fur patch on his head into the bus stop.
"It's seven dirty now. We have the nine o'clock."
(((I'm kind of assuming this town has a big city style bus station that works a bit like a train. I uh...I live in he country and don't get out much - Enigir.)))
-
XD (((lol dont ask me i live in the country too!!!!)))
"Soo tell me who all lives at the house." Animus played with his hair, putting it up in pigtails and a bun the letting it fall back down, he sneezed. "Is there a lot of people?"
-
"My grandmother. My uncle and aunt. Their three kids; two girls and a boy my age. Also the cat family that works under ours. We're a traditional nine tailed family." Aaron said with a hint of bitterness in his voice.
"Did you want to know about my master? He lives alone. He brings the odd woman back to his house occasionally, but oddly he seems to behave around them. Still treats me like *censor'd* though..."
-
"wow full house huh? And your Master must be quite the looker. but he shouldnt treat you with anything but kindness" Animus looked up at Aaron "and traditional? like no shoes on in the house?"
-
"The fascination with japan is purely my own. That and I never wear shoes. But honestly I'd prefer it if you scuffed up the place. And when we're there, do not apologise for anything, to anyone. Ever. Got it? If you do you'll be torn apart. Be unashamed, unrestrained. Treat it like it's your own place. But worse." Aaron said bluntly.
-
Animus looked to Aaron, "Aaron im not going to be mean." he said with a concerned face
"Whats the worse that could happen? They wont hurt beat me or anything will they?"
-
"Survival isn't mean. They dominate. They will treat you like a slave and you need to stand against that. Unless you want to be an unpaid, 24-hour peon, then go right ahead. I just figured you were sick of living like that is all." Aaron snapped. He turned to give Animus one of his soul piercing stares.
"Quit thinking that people are inherently good!"
-
Animus gasped slightly as his face saddened, that shook him. He looked down and lowered his ears, "im.... im sorry but i cant... i refuse to believe that they arent... and im happy with the way i was living... am living"
-
"You're honestly happy to be broken time and time again are you!? Living like an urchin, barely living!? Stop being so weak! Stop putting up with all this!"
Aaron stood and almost glared down at Aniums.
"Live! For the sake of anyone you've ever cared about, stop scrounging a living here! Strive in your studies, rise in the cafe, live! Society itself functions on stepping over others, so don't just sit on the floor! You have no reason, or right!"
-
Animus' lower lip trembled, "You dont think im trying to live for the people i love? I do strive in studies im the top in my class... and i worked my best everyday at the cafe... i want my parents to be proud of me. Even if i dont know how they feel now." Animus wiped his eyes "I am happy... not with being broken... but im happy that im living. i dont regret anything, im thankful for everything good thats happened. You have no right to tell me how to live. I feel like i am living life to the fullest to the best of my own abilities. You may have a cruel family. but at least you have a family." Animus walked over to the nearby restrooms and locked himself in a stall. He hugged himself and closed his eyes and tried to calm himself. "Stop crying Ani... you promised..."
-
"I said too much. I only meant..." Aaron whispered to himself.
He realised something. He was still operating under his master's basic underlying ideals. Cruelty had been a part of his life for so long, he was trying to make Animus become cruel in an attempt to bring his strength in line with Aaron's set of ideals.
But of course...Animus WAS strong - to find peace in his life even when being trampled on. To dismiss each beating simply because it was a good thing to do...
So...was Aaron...weak? Or at least needlessly defiant?
Aaron huffed and clutched his head. Damn Destroyer...
He walked into the bathrooms and nearly knocked. Oddly, nobody else was in. He sighed quietly and knocked twice.
"Animus...? Are you...okay?" Aaron couldn't quite say he was wrong, that he had worked it out, just yet. At least...he thought he had. It was probably just a breakthrough. But still...he wanted to make amends.
-
*it was morning and zaida was at school in the gym waiting for more student to arrive for the assembly when most of the teens arrived it started*
Mr.louis a fit horse walks out* "hello kids im Louis your new principal... And I just want to tell you all I'll make this school better, safer and make more clubs and other classes like that's so...."
*zaida heard blah blah blah zoning out as she was tired and fell asleep twice after he was done all the kids left to their first periods beginning to learn, zaida walks in her class and sits down waiting for the teacher*
-
"Just give me a bit okay?" Animus sniffled
"Dont cry... you promised" Animus kept whispering that to himself as he held himself tighter, he wish he could be held, he wanted Aaron to hold him. But he knew he wold lose it. He simply sat and whispered. He became calm ater a minute and opened the door. "What time is it?"his eyes slightly puffy and tired looking
-
"We still have an hour." Aaron said softly. "Animus...Ani...I'm...sorry. Since I've met you my perceptions have been turned upside down. I...I feel vulnerable, Ani, and even saying this much makes me want to throw up with fear; my gut's churning right now. I've been questioning my life, my mater, my stupid family and myself since I met you. And it's not your fault...well...it is, but it's not...bad? I'm..."
-So lost- Aaron thought, but couldn't speak. -I'm lost and I've been questioning every constant in my life and all I have to trust is you, but I haven't been able to even though I must...everyone I've am ever trusted I trusted willingly and easily. Master...my family...and now I think they've led me astray I can't trust so easily anymore...even though you're probably the only one I should!-
"And really? Now I...now I know I'm wrong I just...I'm sad I've hurt you..."
Aaron slid his arms around Animus and slowly pulled him into a tight embrace. Aaron rested his chin in Animus' head.
"It's like I live to be changed. I'm so easily fooled. Don't cry because of my stupidity, Ani. How can I really mean it? Please...I haven't the right to ask...but please...teach me how to be strong like you."
-
Animus gasped, he found himself astonished, his arms slowly slid around Aaron as well, "Aaron... its okay... and i... im sorry i know youve seen me cry before but... i made a promise. To my mom, she said, the only times i could cry is when i know im alone, or when im with someone i trully love." Animus buried his face into Aaron'schest and sht his eyes tightly, "I dont want you to hurt or be sad because of me. And i promise ill try my best to show you, i dont know if what you call strong is really stong, but i want you to be happy so please" He lifted his head and looked into Aaron's eyes, Animus' own eyes a bit teary "smile." Animus lifted a paw to cup one of Aaron's cheeks, Animus smiled, "Its the first time you called me by my nickname." A tear escaped from Animus' eye and slid slowly down to his own cheek
-
Acon walked into school with a bit of a spring in her step. Today she had on a pair of black leather skinnies, a tight t-shirt that was cut off to show her pierced belly button, black docs and one of Ben's jackets. She was in late today because it took all she could to get out of bed this morning and took even more will power to get Ben out of bed.
-
"God I friken hate this place" I say as I trail behind Acon
-
Acon turned a smile to Ben. "I know. But we gotta go for our education." She teased.
-
I smile back "only reason I'm here is because you are"
-
Aaron smiled a little.
"Come on. Someone's gonna need to use the bathroom and they'll walk in on us."
Aaron slid out of the hug, one arm trailing behind to grab Animus' hand and drag him along behind.
"How do we kill the next hour?"
-
"hmmm... we could drop by the cafe. Or maybe take a quick walk throught the park, it's pretty close by, i hear there may be a cherry blossom path." Animus lightly squeezed Aaron's hand.
"But on one condition!" he held up a finger
-
"Acon, sweetie, why are we still here?"
-
Acon sighed. "I need to talk to Mr. Smith about my bio project."
-
"Fine" I put my arm around you as we walk to Mr. Smith's class room
-
((True story time! I used to actually have a teacher who's last name was Seaman. XD))
Acon led Ben to her bio class room and up to her teacher, an old fox with sunken in features.
-
((True story I had a bio teacher who's name was fish))
"Good day sir" puts my paw out to shake his hand
-
The old fox took Ben's paw into his own and shook it with a stern look to his face. He turned to Acon and motioned for her to speak. "M-Mr. Smith, for the project, do I really have to work with Amber? She's a dumb bimbo and I'm only gonna have to do the work on my own anyway." Smith chuckled and nodded with a knowing smile.
-
I look to the teacher then to Acon and back "listen sir, I am sure we can reason to get Acon here a better partner"
-
The fox sighed. "I'm sorry, but everyone else already has a partner."
-
"Sir is there any way we can find Acon another partner"
-
The fox sighed. "Not unless someone new joins the class, but I don't think that'll be happening any time soon."
-
I cringe slightly "I'll join the class"
-
*the principal walks to Zaida that was sleeping* "young lady hello? Wakey wakey.." *he tapped her shoulder and she wakes up screaming"
Zaida:"ahhh!! F*ck!! Oh SORRY SORRY!"
Horse:"it's fine sweety just please don't do it again ok and watch your mouth hehe" *he chuckles and walks outside the classroom*
teacher;"take you notebooks out we're on lesson 1"
-
The fox ran a paw over his face. "You'll have to get a schedule change. Well, ms. Lovien, I guess you'll be switching out partners." Acon looked back at Ben and smiled.
-
"Okay that won't be an issue sir, thank you" I smile at Acon
-
Acon thanked Mr. Smith and pulled Ben out of the class room with her. When they were out in the hall, Acon backed up onto the lockers and pulled Ben in for a passionate kiss.
-
I smile and kiss you passionately
-
Acon giggled against the kiss and wrapped her legs around Ben's waist.
-
I smile and push you against the wall holding you up still kissing you
-
*the principal sees the two kissing and letting them be*
"Hey you kids go to class he yelled at the group that were messing around scratching the lockers with foul words*
-
Acon smiled and giggled a little louder. She noticed the principal and sighed in relief when he moved on.
-
(( the principle is just like well I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see that))
I smile and kiss your neck softly
-
((Yep lol)) *the principal answers his phone with a headache* "no listen!! It's your fault so your going to have to fix it yourself, your not my son your pathetic!" *he hangs up throwing his phone and walks in the office* "dammit... Why God.. Why.."
-
Acon sighed and hugged Ben tight. She buried her nose into his neck and smiled.
-
I smile happily and hold you tight
-
Acon sighed. "When's the school day gonna be over?"
-
"I don't know but I want to get home with you as soon as possible"
-
Ray sat in the common area, the obsidian amulet around his neck. He had a burning desire to speak with someone, as he needed to bounce ideas off of another. People passed him, whispering between each other, and shooting glances at him.
-
Acon giggled. "Yeah? Soon, don't worry. As soon as we get home, I'm all yours." Licked Ben's nose and winked. "Hey, let's go out onto the court yard."
-
I grin and nip your neck a bit then carry you to the court yard
-
Thomas shrugged, sitting next to ray. He was pretty sure that guy was lonely, and he hated seeing people lonely. He just had been too enveloped in his video games to notice them before.
"Hello!" He said to ray "I'm thomas, you?"
-
Ray smiled, and nodded. "I'm Haedon, though most people call me Ray, like my father and his father before him, and so on."
-
"Well, nice to meet you, ray!" He said, offering his hand and smiling "what's up?"
-
Acon nibbled at Ben's neck as he carried her. She giggled and kisses his cheek.
-
I murr as we enter the courtyard
-
Ray shook Thomas's paw. "Failures, mostly. My recent projects have all but blown up in my face."
-
"Huh." Thomas says "what projects were they? And I won't judge, no matter what it is." He pauses for a moment, giving a sardonic laugh "and plus, I'm not the most... Socially respected member of this school anyways."
-
Acon laughed and pulled Ben down on the ground with her as she fell on her back under a tree.
-
Ray chuckled, as a rock flew just above his head, amongst the calls of 'witch' and 'burn him'. "Try being the only one practicing the arcane. I was working with the light of the black sun...but I couldn't capture all of it." He held up his amulet, which had a slight shine to it. "Only a little."
-
Thomas shrugs "well, I'm gay.... Don't worry, I've already got someone. Not trying to feel you up!"
-
A black fetal Jackal that looked almost identical to Acon sat on the other side of Ray. "I might though." She teased.
-
Ray shrugged. "I'm...well...not attracted to either sex. So I wasn't too worried." He chuckled. "I guess school's the place for all the mutations, huh?" Ray looked at the jackal, and smiled. "And who might you be?"
-
Fredric saw Thomas and walked up to him. "Umm... Hi Thomas..."
-
She placed a paw on her chest and gave Ray a wide grin. "I'm Acon's little sister who she never talks about. The name's Dannie."
-
*zaida was passed out in the grass with her notebook covering her face as she slept peacefully*
-
"Hey there!" Thomas said, smiling "what's up?"
-
Ray nodded. "Well, Dannie, I'm Haedon...though, I prefer Ray." He smiled, and toyed with the amulet. Ray peered at the thing, and sighed. "I was so close..."
-
Dannie raised brow and tilted her head. "So close to what?"
-
"D-do I need... an excuse t-to want to... see you?" Fredric sat beside Thomas and smiled.
-
Ray sighed. "A breakthrough...I've been...Well..." He leaned in close. "I've been working with the arcane, but I keep hitting roadblocks. I was trying to work with manipulation of energy. But I've not found...what I'm missing."
-
Dannie's widened. "Wow. What are into that stuff for?"
-
"Hah!" Thomas says, giving Fredric's paw a discreet squeeze "you never do!"
-
Ray sighed. "My parents were into it, and I wanted to follow their footsteps. Dad was really close, too. We were actually on our way to an exposition, before we crashed, and costed me my limb." He patted his false leg.
-
Dannie winced. "That's heavy. I'm sorry about that."
-
Fredric kissed Thomas in public, putting his hands behind Thomas's head as he did so.
-
Ray noticed the Fredric and Thomas, but kept his eyes toward Dannie. "No no, it's not your fault." He chuckled. "So, what's with the curiosity? Most people start throwing matches or holy water at me at this point."
-
Thomas blinked, and recoiled a moment, before leaning into the kiss.
-
Dannie shrugged. "My sister is really into blood magic and shit like that. I guess I get it from her. And don't worry, at least you don't bebes shot at you."
-
Ray sighed. "I've had it all, Dannie. Blood magic, you say? Hmm...I've heard about it but I've not tried it too much. Is it as strong as they say?"
-
Fredric started kissing Thomas more passionately leaning further forward as he did so.
-
Dannie nodded with an impressed smile on her face. "Oh, yeah. Got to be to keep mom in a coma for ten years. Man, coolest stuff to watch."
-
Ray chuckled. "Huh...maybe I'll ask her about it. That sounds useful."
-
Thomas felt the eyes boring in on him from quite a few kids, most of them yelling various curse words at him and ray. His eyes flitted from person to person, unsure of whether he should push him away or just say 'damn the consequences', and just keep kissing him.
-
Dannie shrugged. "Maybe. I'll try and ask my brother if we can hold off on pulling the plug for a little while longer." Dannie leaned back on her perch.
-
"C-condition?" Aaron asked. What condition would he need to meet to go for a WALK of all things? He gazed curiously at Animus.
-
Animus blushed and glanced away, "Y-you have to let me... ride on your shoulders...." he fidgeted in place nervously.
-
Ray shrugged. "Unless one of your siblings can teach me...?"
-
Dannie thought a moment. "I'll see if Acon can. I just need to catch her when she's not porkin her boyfriend."
-
I fall on top of Acon and laugh a bit
-
Acon smiled and hugged Ben close to her. "I wanna go home."
-
I smile "now your talkin'" I stand up and put my paw out to help you up
-
Acon giggled, grabbing Ben's paw to hoist herself up off the ground.
-
I hold your paw and start walking to the lotus you begged me to drive to school in
-
((Gotta love that lotus though! B) ))
Once they were to the car, Acon climbed into the passenger seat and buckled herself in.
-
((It's a cool ass car))
I turn the key and rev the engine a few times
-
(( too cool. -_- I'm on to you Ben... ))
Acon sat back in her seat and crossed her legs before her.
-
((What ever do you mean))
Pulls the car out and speeds off home
-
((The orphans! I know it was you!))
Acon got out of the car when it stopped and waited for Ben at the front door.
-
((What?!))
I toss the keys to Acon then grab Our bags
-
((Yep! I found you out. *wags finger with sas*))
Acon caught the keys and walked inside, holding the door for Ben.
-
((I don't remember doing anythig to any orphans ))
I walk in the house and throw the bags down
-
Acon closed the door and jumped into Ben's arms. She kissed him deeply and giggled against his lips.
-
I catch you and kiss you back deeply smiling slightly
((What do you mean by orphans? I'm so confused!!"
-
((Don't act like you don't know! The orphans! The orphans!! Nooo!!))
Acon whimpered quietly and shrugged off her jacket. She pulled away every so often to catch her breath before she dove in for another heated kiss.
-
(( sweet Acon why must you drive me to the brink of insanity, haha I don't know any orphans!!))
I start lifting your shirt up slowly
-
((Uh... cause if I didn't, your closet troll would be out of a job.))
-
Ray chuckled. "As long as she's okay with it. I really really wish to know more about it." He blinked, and waved his paw frantically. "Blood magic! I wish to know more about blood magic!"
-
(( good point ))
-
Acon sighed and removed the rest her clothes, as well as Ben's and got to work.
Dannie giggled. "I know what you meant."
-
I smirk and kiss your neck a few times
-
Ray nodded. "G-Good. I didn't want to seem like that guy. Uh...do you know any sort of arcane art? I've got a few...issues...with my studies."
-
Acon giggled when they finished and kissed Ben. "I love you." She she sighed, closing her eyes
Dannie shrugged. "I don't know enough to be able to say I do. just a sprinkle of information, you know." She tilted her head in question. "What kind of 'issues'?"
-
Ray shrugged. "Well...I've had several...more explosive...results. Erm...do you know anything about catalysts?"
-
"I love you too sweetie" I hold you tight and close my eyes
-
Acon hugged Ben's head to her chest and kissed between his ears.
Dannie shook her head. "Nah. Sorry. What's that?"
-
I smile and laugh a bit
-
Ray shook his head. "Never mind that, I don't have my book...it's hard to explain."
-
Dannie shrugged. "Okay. No biggy." She turned to rummage through her bag and pulled out a leather bound book with a title scrawled on its spine in a different language. She studied the cover before she handed it to Ray. "Here, you can study this until Acon has a chance to talk to you."
-
Ray took the book carefully, and nodded. "Thank you." He leafed through the pages. "Hmm...an old language to be sure."
-
Dannie nodded. "Yup. My brother says it used to belong to our dad, and his grandfather before him." She shrugged. "I don't know how true that is, though. Dox is prone to compulsive lying. So is Acon, so my advice when you talk to her would be to take it all with a grain of salt."
-
Ray nodded. "I would've anyway. With arcane arts, you usually take everyone's thoughts with a grain of salt."
-
Fredric broke the kiss and blushed. "Umm... S-sorry, I don't know why I did that..." He tried to hide his embarrassment by covering his face.
-
"I'm sorry..." Thomas says, shrinking into his chair, hoping that the other kids would focus more on ray and Dannie than him and Fredric... But it didn't seem that way.
-
Ray noticed the predicament Thomas and Fredric were in, so he did them a favor. He removed his fake leg, and threw it across the hall.
-
"T-thanks..."thomas says, his voice barely a whisper "...owe you one." He pulls his hood over his face, trying to hide it
-
Fredric stood. "I-I think we should g-get out of here..." He says in his usual mumbly tone.
-
Ray smiled. "For what? Being a good sport? No." He patted Thomas's back. "Besides, I owed you."
-
Thomas purses his lips, and then nods, quickly moving to the exit. He turns, and flashes a brief smile at ray as he leaves.
-
Dannie glared at the kids with bared teeth. "What was that about?"
-
Ray sighed. "Oh, a diversion, is all. Hey! Someone grab my leg!"
-
One boy stooped to pick up the leg but ran away with it laughing with his friends.
-
Ray sighed. "They always run. Dannie? Could you help me get that?"
-
Dannie nodded. "That was d**k move." She stood. "What's the plan?"
-
Fredric followed closely behind Thomas. "Where do you want to go?"
-
Ray placed his paw on Dannie's shoulder, and stood. "Well...we'll ask him nicely."
-
Dannie sighed. "If that doesn't work...?"
-
Ray shrugged. "Well, we'll...do something..."
-
"Can beat him up?"
-
Ray shrugged. "Maybe. It'll be hard for me, though, given that I'm using you as a crutch. Thank you, by the way."
-
"I... I dunno." He said, shrugging "Let's go to class, I think we have miss Munson next."
-
Dannie nodded. "Okay. Well, I'll beat him up, and you can kick him as best as you can. Right between his legs."
-
Ray chuckled. "So I can fall over, right? Unless I use my stub, I guess." He hopped along, towards the kid with his leg.
-
The kid saw Ray and Dannie. He cracked up.
-
Remulus some weird kid not knowing the situation stood in between them. "No one gets hurt and everyone feels safe." Remulus said. As Ray yelled "Pysche!!!" Dannie located his fist in Remulus's jaw. Blood sprayed from the side of his lips. Remulus almost rendered unconscious performed a flying spin kick on Dannie aiming for the side.
-
((I'm so confused...What happened there, Sol? Ray's a one legged kid, and doesn't fight. Dannie's, from what I've seen, is the violent one.))
Ray approached the group, with Dannie's help, and smiled. "Excuse me? It seems, you've got my leg. I need it, please."
-
"C-carry you...?" Aaron asked skeptically. He sighed.
"I don't know about that, Animus. But I am curious about this tree. So let's go anyway."
Aaron stood and gazed into the distance with his sharp eyes.
-
Animus looked down a bit disappointed but then smiled and nodded, "Alright!" he didnt know what came over him to ask that in the first place. He also realised Aaron started calling im by his full name again.
-Animus dont you dare get your hopes up. He is a straight guy after all as far as you know he could still just consider you a close friend- Animus thought to himself
-
Aaron ignited the fluttering in his stomach and started walking. Thankfully Animus hadn't been too crestfallen. Still...it had been an oddly tempting thought. Perhaps on the way back...?
*what am I thinking...?* Aaron frowned at himself as he crossed the road - checking it is times each way as he did so.
-
Animus followed close behind occasionally looking up at Aaron, studying his defined features and physique, he blushed a bit. He then looked ahead and sneezed again, "ugh im sorry i dont know whats wrong with me, allergies maybe..." Anims giggled a bit and kept walking noticing the attentiveness Aaron had on the road,
-
Aaron finished crossing and strode to the park gates. He stopped and caught Animus' hand - but only so animus wouldn't grab it and drag him across the countryside again.
"So where lies the fabled tree?" Aaron asked with some skepticism. He was honestly far away, thinking of his master and family. This trip was messing with him too much. At least if they were out of town,Ani wouldn't be hurt. Animus...animus wouldn't be hurt.
*Why can't I just use his nickname normally...?* he asked himself suspiciously. He ignored the fact that he was growing more comfortable around his Destroyer by the day...
He have the wolf one of his cool, soul-piercing stares. The kind that usually pinned targets to the spot.
Aaron studied Animus; really tore him apart and numbered each piece. But the numbers figuratively scrolling down the demon Fox's vision kept jumping.
*He really does have a...a...nice face. Really, he could pull off being either male or female - until he disrobed at any rate. And he looks so young too. It's a wonder he isn't vain and deceitful. His patents must have really reared him well before they kicked the buck - .*
"Dammit!" Aaron swore. How could his thoughts be so blunt? He honoured his patents even in death but here he stood, thinking like that.
His guilt and emptiness was building...at that moment Aaron wanted nothing more than to hold someone. No...not just someone. Animus. Suddenly afraid, Aaron shut those thoughts out. Why was his mind so scrambled today?
As if cursing out of the blue after staring at Animus hadn't been enough, Aaron glared at a leaf on the grass with incredible intensity.
-
Animus squeezed Aaron's hand lightly a bit worried, he had been silent obviously lost in thought, "when you come across a small dragon statue covered in moss there should be a small path thats kind of easy to miss right next to it. the tree is on a small island surrounded by a pond. Animus noticed the piercing gaze turn to a leaf. Thinking that it would catch fire from Aarons stare. Animus payed no mind to the cursing. He usually never payed attention to it. "Aaron? Are you okay? We dont have to go" Animus wanted to hug Aaron but figured the fox already was sick of hugs. So he held onto Aaron's hand reassuringly.
-
"I'm such a jerk...the real question is why you hang around me, not why I hang around you..." Aaron growled more out of annoyance at himself than anything else. But he squeezed Animus' hand anyway. He wanted to see the tree anyway, so he eased animus along by turning, still holding the short and effeminate wolf's hand.
-
"You arent a jerk. You always arent afraid to say whats on your mind if something is wrong. I like that about you. Youre so confident and cool. I hang around you because i like to and want to. You always seem to put a smile on my face more often than not."Animus smiled softly even though Aaron wasnt looking
-its one of the reasons im so in love with you- Animus thought to himself only wishin he could just sa it
-
They walked a little while and marvelled at how the trees seemed to form a beautiful green tunnel which led eventually to a marvellous cherry blossom sitting atop a hill of green crystal, which floated in a lake of diamond. The whole area shimmered and radiated peace.
At that moment Aaron wished he was blind enough to follow some religion so that he might fall to his knees and pray. He stared at the scene before him, taking it all in. His nine tails swayed and he allowed himself to be at ease.
-
"My dad... he would always take me here if he ever thought that something was troubling me. i always loved it and he would carry me on his shoulders so i could see everything. he said 'this tree is magical, if you take a falling pedal and make a wish it will come true' he was always saying silly stuff like that" Ani looked at the familiar tree and waved at it as if it were a friend
-
"Catch...a petal...?" Aaron wondered as he basically did just that. He lifted a paw to block the sun as a gust of wind blew a petal back into his paw.
He stared down at it, horrified, as if he was facing done great ultimatum.
-
Animus was looking at the tree, lost in his memories. He didnt seem to notice Aaron at all,a small pedal seemed to have landed on his muzzle.
-
Shaking with rage, Aaron crushed the petal and glared at the tree.
*I WANT MY PARENTS BACK!* Aaron roared at the tree in his mind. *AND A BORMAL CHILDHOOD! SO F**K YOU!*
Aaron's phone beeped.
"NO!" He cried out, and picked Animus up by the scruff of the neck and literally carried him out if the area.
-
Animus yelped and whimpered, "A-Aaron ow! That... that hurts!!! Whats wrong..? ngh!" Animus tried to look back to the tree. but the grip Aaron had kept him looking ahead. "Aaron please youre hurting me!" He heard the bus approaching the stop.
-
"Sorry! Sorry! A thousand times sorry!" Aaron said, sounding genuinely apologetic. The bus started to pull away from the station. Aaron flung Animus up into his shoulders and ran at full tilt - maxing so far at around twenty-five kilometres per hour. The bus accelerated and Aaron carried Animus along the footpath as he thought.
He checked the roads as much as he could and made a decision.
Going against all logic Aaron ran up behind the bus - accelerating again to about thirty - along the road. As they neared the moving vehicle:
"Grab! Bus! No! Argue!" Aaron huffed, his breathing and words laboured both.
-
Animus was wide eyed and gasped feeling the wind brush against his fur he looked down to Aaron and did as he said,he gripped onto he bus with as much strength as he could, "Aaron what now?!"
-
Acon walked into the building with her clear backpack slung over one shoulder. She went straight to her locker and stuffed her gym bag inside. "Not goin gym, no sir. Ain't doin it." She said to herself as she walked off.
-
I walk into school and go to gym sighing
-
Acon pulled out her phone and sent a text to Ben.
'Hey, what are you up to?'
-
I pull my phone out and text Acon back 'I'm in the locker room getting ready for gym, why' I send it and change my shirt
-
Acon sighed.
'Nothing. Nevermind.'
-
'Nah what do you want, I'll skip if that's what you want'
I sit waiting for a reply
-
Karran sits in math, bored. Barely registering what the teacher iss saying. He is pretty sick of triangles by now. He is quite good at math, he just isn't particularly interested by it.
-
*Make an educated guess!* Aaron thought as he pushed against Animus' feet with his hands. He sent one last burst of strength - one he really didn't have - and leapt, grabbed the rear railing and vaulted between the top tail and the floor.
Both he and Animus crashed to the floor. They received some mixed looks from the passengers.
Aaron curled into a tiny ball, coughing, gasping and dry retching on the floor. He coughed out a small cloud of blood but otherwise did little note than choke and writhe weakly on the ground.
(((Is anyone bothered that Ani and I just forgot the dates and are leaving town on a quick two day adventure or what...? Hehe, what, what's going on? It won't be long I swear... - Enigir Shosa.)))
-
((Oops forgot to do this))
Name: Karran Otsoa
Gender: Male
Age:15
Grade: American equivalent of year 10 in England?
Personality: He doesn't act the same as everyone else and is sometimes picked on for it. He is quite intelligent and imagi native. When someone annoys him he can get angry and lash out quite easily.
Hobbies: Music, writing, reading and running.
-
(( those hobbies were mine in highschool, except shooting and fighting would be in there for me))
-
Animus teared up and held Aaron close to his chest, "Aaron! Oh my god Aaron! What do i do!?" Animus looked to the passengers, "Please help me! Someone!" Animus became hysterical, he felt dread and was terrified for Aaron.
-
Aaron lay still in Animus' arms awhile. To be honest he was enjoying the softness and the warmth of his friend in the cool bus. He stopped dry retching first. After a while he stopped coughing too. He lay there, curled up, his breathing becoming gradually less ragged after about twenty minutes.
Nobody had moved, save for one blank looking cat on the seat nearest who seemed to make a show of gasping and looking around.
Aaron slowly opened his eyes. His mouth was a little open at the nose to breathe, but it soon curled into a smile as his tails curled around like usual.
*I over-exerted myself...I just can't leave well enough alone...when a challenge comes. Hehe...now look at me...laying in Ani's arms like this...* Aaron thought slowly as his breathing did the same. He fixed an eye on Animus. His face was naturally sharp but even so just being a fox made his sliver of an iris and his curly smile cause him to look sly.
*Did...have I...scared him? Oh...look at him. I've scared him...I'm such a...jerk? A fool...? I dunno...*
Aaron's chest rose and fell almost peacefully. Animus was really warm and comfy. He accidentally made a stupid smacking noise with his mouth as he made to speak.
"Hey..." He said squeakily, groggily. He sounded as though he had just woken up. He raised a paw and gripped Animus' knee. Then he wiggled his head and ears by ani's hand, secretly hoping for a pat.
He was a sucker for pats...even though there were a bunch of people around Aaron didn't have the energy to care.
"W' made th' bus..."
(((I'm a sucker for RP drama. Hehe - Enigir Shosa.)))
-
Farran was pretty zoned out, lost in his own thoughts and barely aware of what was going on around him. He snapped out of it quickly when the teacher said his name. Oh was she asking a question. He looked at the board and what was writyen on there, taking a moment to work it out. He gave his answer and, thankfully, it was right.
-
'No, no. Stay in class. I'll wait. ;)'
Acon sighed and went to sit outside the gym and waited for Ben's class to finish.
-
The class ends and I walk out the doors to the gym sweaty, I see Acon "hey darlin"
-
Acon smiled and got up from her place on the floor. She ran up to Ben and kissed him. "Hey, babe! How was it?"
-
I pick you up and kiss you back "it was fun"
-
Animus was still crying and holding Aaron close, "sshhhh dont talk just breathe okay?"Animus lifted a paw to Aaron's head and patted him over and over occasionally rubbing his head as well. "Please dont ever do that again... if i lost you Aaron... i..." he trembled a bit
-
Acon nuzzled Ben and wrapped her legs around his waist. "So, what do ya have planned for the rest of the day." She kissed his cheek.
-
"'M not g'n' die..." Aaron said as flatly as possible as he huffed in Ani's arms.
"Jus' exert'd m'self..."
-
"Whatever you want babe" I kiss you
-
Animus wiped his eyes and smiled a little, "you carried me on your shoulders after all" he kept petting Aaron on the head
-
"Sh-shut up. It was practical." Aaron mumbled. Only a handful of people were still staring at the pair now.
-
Animus giggled, "oh gosh i l-" He stopped himself from nearly slipping it out, 'I love you' "l-l-like riding in buses..." he blushed a bit and looked up, "Aaron... they keep staring..." Animus only realised this. He was too panicked and worried about Aaron to notice it sooner.
-
Aaron staggered to his feet and drew his wallet like a pistol. The over-acting twit sitting nearby gasped and cowered.
"I'm going to pay the bus fees, you dolt." Aaron snapped, now quite recovered, and strode gracefully to the driver and explained the situation.
He walked back after paying both his and Animus' fees and dragged Ani to the most secluded part of the bus he could find. He have Ani a suspicious stare.
"You really like busses huh...?" He said, wondering if animus had been covering something or had genuinely meant what he said. Either way it had been odd.
-
Animus stiffend up, "o-oh yeah i do. umm..." Animus looked out the bus window, "i really cant wait to see your family" He smiled hoping to change the subject, "i hope... they like... me" he slowly nodded off and leaned against Aaron, he had become somewhat tired from the whole fiasco they two went through.
-
"Oh."
Aaron stared sadly out of the opposite window. The engines wheezed and the whole bus shudders and rocked at it trundled up the road to the next town.
"They will," Aaron whispered.
The bus edged on...
...
At midday the duo arrived at the city spear ting the two towns. Aaron looked at the nap he had stolen from a passing tourist.
"We're in mid-town, and north district is what we want for a cheaper ride. It means passing through the city on foot, but that's damn faster than going by taxi. Come on, bluey." Aaron folded the map and started walking.
*not to mention there's an anime store in the way! I love this part of the trip!* Aaron giggled internally. The city smell was burning his brain though. He readied his wallet...
-
"Bluey?" Animus giggled, "alright! not to mention what kind of book stores and antique shops we could go to! anime too! oh Aaron thanks so much for brining me!" He looked up at the sky and closed his eyes taking in the scent and sunshine.
-
"Hmm? No - that's not your new nickna - shut up. We're only halfway there anyway. We have an hour and a half to kill so let's hurry..." Aaron smiled at the sun shining through a gap in between two sky scrapers. The passed the strategically placed trees and old church architecture as a brisk pace.
-
The crowds were huge as it became rush hour for those that worked,Animus became nervous,he never had been through something like this before,without thinking he reached out and held onto Aaron's hand tightly. "I-is there always this many?"
-
"Are there always this many." Aaron corrected Animus absently. "And yes."
Aaron glanced around as he walked, sizing up each person as they passed his field of vision. He did this habitually. Soon he started predicting their movements and tracking them. All of this his family had taught him, and all of it was required to deal with his master. He grinned. He wasn't rusty. Time to buy a reward.
"We're going in here." Aaron said as he dragged animus down a spooky looking alleyway."
-
Animus noticed the alleyway seemed to be dark oddly, he stopped in his tracks only to be tugged forward by Aaron's hand, "w-wait...."
-
"You won't believe what we're about to get in here..." Aaron said excitedly, not considering his tone and wording might scare Animus out of his skull.
-
A trashcan in the alleyway crashed over, Animus let out a girlish scream and held onto Aaron's arm. "Its just the dark its just the dark" Animus repeated to himself quietly. His eyes were shut tight as Aaron kept leading him onward.
-
"Here we are..." Aaron purred, eating a hand on a huge steel door. Then it squeaked open.
"Mr. Takahashi? I'm back for more fullmetal. Got it in yet?" Aaron wandered into the anime store with his tails wiggling. It wasn't a brightly lit wonderland at the end if the alley but it had a ton of cool stuff in it.
-
Animus looked at all of the anime merchandise and smiled widely, he looked around and spotted a few items of interest such as a Tokyo Ghoul mask and a small IA vocaloid figurine. He let out a squeal of delight.
-
"Vocaloid, really?" Aaron asked, already forking cash over for a Fullmetal Alchemist collection, some Attack on Titan figma and some Kingdom Hearts play arts figures. He placed them into a Fairy Tail satchel he bought to carry it all and moved to stare at the manga.
He had already spent a few hundred dollars.
-
Animus lowered his ears, "whats wrong with vocaloids?" he asked a bit sadly
he passed by the figure and looked to other things, His gaze seemed to keep going back to the medium sized Dango plushies. He wandered aroun the rest of the store humming Dango Daikazoku then gasped to see the Witchblade gauntlet setting up on a shelf
-
"Nothing..." Aaron went back to the manga. He wondered whether or not to spend more of his anime savings on figma or manga...then he saw Kain.
"Kain!" Aaron said abruptly, rushing over to the Dissidia 012 Final Fantasu Dragoon. "Want."
-
Animus seemed to be out of sight. A small rumbling was heard near the back. "pshhh pow ping wapoo!" Animus giggled
-
"What are you doing?" Aaron asked, heading towards the back of the shop.
-
Animus had found the cosplay dressing room, he was dressed fully as Ryouko Matoi from Kill La Kill, the revealing school girl sailor uniform fit his feminine frame quite well. He looked to Aaron,his face became bright red, figures in his hand. One hand adorning the witchblade. on his back was sheathed the keyblade.
-
"I...don't...know how to react to that..." Aaron said as he stated at the spectacle before him. He grinned.
"I have sword skills, I could rock a Keyblade." Aaron neglected to mention all of his blade mastery - even his cooking skills - came from his jerk of a master. Them he blushed a bit.
"Are you...gonna...but those...?" He kicked himself mentally and looked away.
-
"i... i... was... along with umm.. the others" Animus rubbed his arm emberrassed and glanced to the Final Fantasy Lightning, Miku Hatsune, and boy lolita costumes. A few stacks of what seemed to be manga sat on a chair next to it.
-
"How much money do you have!?" Aaron exploded, utterly forgetting about his sudden attraction to the oddly dressed animus.
Between the manga and the costumes there was probably near six hundred dollars to a clean grand of merchandise there.
-
Animus jumped a bit and yipped, "i... didnt really have much to buy since i lived a the cafe... so i saved up." he looked away "is it too much? i can put some back if it is..." he was totally out of it. he seemed to have been in his own world when indulging in the cosplay. He wondered if Aaron thought he was a total weirdo for wearing what he was wearing. He looked to the floor.
-
Aaron snorted and left the cubicle, only to return later wearing a Sword Art Online Blackwyrm coat.
"Personally I like this...maybe some of sora's gear. They don't have any that I can see though - old man Takahashi doesn't have everything. But still...it's your money, but you've got nearly a grand of stuff! Are you gonna wear most of that - actually this coat is quite nice...okay. I'm buying it."
Aaron floated out in an otaku daze. The cash register ate the rest of the next three months' anime related spending money. All Aaron had left was his living money, thankfully in the bank.
-
Animus looked to the chair of manga, "well i could lose a few of these..." he approached the chair and accidentally bumps the leg, some fall onto the floor reavealing a few had an 18+ label as well as another book containg a label that had the partially covered word 'douji' on it. Animus hurriedly gathered them up and gulped.
-please dont tell me he saw please oh please- animus prayed He set a few back and covered the rest up with his cosplay. He decided to leave the keyblade and witchblade but was still happy with what he ended up buying. The total ended being around $730. A still large price but Animusdidnt seem to mind.
-
Aaron turned to animus as the wolf had his things packed in a few bags.
"If I don't leave here right now I won't leave at all, and will have no money left to live on." Aaron used pure willpower to stagger out of the building and out of the alleyway. He was still wearing his SAO coat, plus a black pair of pants. He was still wearing his scarf and his hunting knife's handle was sticking out.
"I'm happy with that. Can I read your manga when you're done? If they're in Japanese you'll need a translater anyway..."
-
Animus had totally forgotten o change out of his current uniform so Senketsu seemed to be what todays wardrobe was in store for him. He looked up to Aaron and blushed then shook his head over and over, "n-n-n-no its not exactly something im sure youd like anyways." He noticed the knife handle but merely pointed at it. The shortk skirt along with the suspenders and short belly shirt seemed to be all thatcovered him along with the novelty glove that completed the whole set.
-
Aaron glanced down at his knife and froze. It was no joke that anyone who had the misfortune of catching sight of it died soon after. His instincts conflicted with his reason, Aaron stood there, panting suddenly. Then, he slowly raised a paw and covered the weapon with a roll of scarf.
That had been safe at least - his hands rarely handled the blade. It was a jaw-wield type operation.
"Let's go to the bus stop now." Aaron said, suspiciously shakily. He started walking again.
-
Ray, having collected his leg from the miscreants, wandered about, unsure of what to do. He whistled lightly, as he limped about. Ray spun the obsidian amulet around idly, the black object reflecting light like a mirror.
-
Animus gave Aaron a reassuring smile, "At least i know you are prepared" he placed a small hand onto the fox's arm and squeezed it gently, "but yeah we need to go." Animus walked alongside Aaron catching the attention of many men who thought the little wolf was simply a female in cosplay. His white furred stomach and bright blue furred back exposed showing off his girlish figure. He met te glance of a tiger who seemed to give him a grin and a wink causing Animus to blush and hide behind Aaron as they walked.
-
"Pre...prepared for what, what are you talking about?" Aaron smiled shakily. He put it out of his mind and focused on giving anyone who looked at Animus a lightening-charged glare. The bus stop was within sight...albeit a little far away.
(((Yep. I'm off to my course tomorrow. What's the bet that after warning everyone I will be gone for two weeks I will have a net connection there XD - Enigir Shosa)))
-
Animus hugged Aaron's arm, "you... you'll protect me..." he said unsure of himself. "Aaron... i know you might hate it but they all think im a girl... could we walk together like a couple? at least until the bus stop? im sure itll stop some of them..." he asked hsitantly. the stares were becoming more and more of a growing problem.. When the passed through a few people Animus yelped, he felt a hard grab to his butt.
-
*THWACK!*
"I saw that!" Aaron glared down at the one who had tried to grope Animus. His eyes were two thin slits of insane wrath and his voice was the coldest m and sharpest iron. Aaron leaned in as the man he had decked with a unrestrained punch started shaking.
"If you don't fix up your moral guidelines you're going to die early one day." Aaron whispered. He straightened out and took Animus' paw with a wide, innocent smile.
"Shall we go?" Aaron asked brightly. As they came closer to the bus stop:
"Carry you on your shoulders. Your first odd request today. Your second? Hold hands as we walk. Both of these requests are things those seeking to become a mates pair do. I also refuse to believe you're so off and on awkward all the time. So my question is this: why. Why are you behaving like this?"
Aaron glanced back at Animus with a look that demanded an answer.
-
Animus gave a look at Aaron's victim and then looked away, he tried to keep up with Aaro stumbling a bit. He blushed at the utterance of mates "i... i dont know... im sorry." he looked to the ground as they approached the bus. If only Aaron knew, if only Animus had the courage to tell the fox.
-
"Tell me, Animus Shiro. Now." Aaron demanded. He picked up the pace to add pressure to the situation.
-
Animus teared up a bit, "i... i cant..." the bus horn went off a few times.
-
"Tell me." Aaron looked away. Was it...something not quite ordinary?
"Tell me...please. I mean, what's so bad you can't tell your roomie? And...if it really hurts so much to say, I'll...I'll comfort you after..."
-
Animus felt so conflicted. Was he going to tell him? Then he sparked an idea, "when i meet your parents, i'll tll you. okay?"
-
"Meet my...parents. Right. Okay." Aaron fell silent after that. He was silent all the way to his hometown.
...
The town was a dusty road with houses and stores stretching along the strait. Up a forested hill lay a large looking mansion. Aaron had mumbled about it being an hours walk because vehicles couldn't seem to get up there.
Aaron stared blankly along the road. A gust of wind blew dust past the Fox's vacant expression. His chest was hurting again. But of course, it always did...here. Aaron didn't move.
The Blades...his master...his parents...they were here. All here. Waiting.
Just for him.
"Excuse me." Aaron walked off before animus could do anything. He made behind the houses by the entrance of town, staggered to the trees and grabbed a handful if bark as he fell forward to vomit.
He clutched his chest and retched for a few minutes. His eyes were on the verge of tearing up. Aaron threw up one last time and, empty, made back to animus after wiping his mouth on a leaf.
"Where to?" Aaron asked. His voice lacked tonal variety.
-
"Well... we could go see your parents now... or we could visit your family... or you master..." He looked at the area then to Aaron. "Its up to you"
-
"I don't..." Aaron muttered, unmoving. He hiccuped.
-
"okay... your parents" he giggled a bit at the hiccup. He knew he couldnt hold back his feelings... he had to tell Aaron... and the item wrapped in paper was becoming somewhat bothersome for the small wolf to carry.
-
(((OOOHHHHHH NO HE DIDN'T! NO HE DIDN'T! - Enigir)))
"O...okay then." Aaron trudged with heavy footsteps through town, not seeing all the people greeting him as he made through town. It took them twenty minutes to get to the other side of town. They turned right - always keeping to the footpath - and entered the black iron gates to the cemetery. They ventured to the very back and stopped by two graves.
"Mom? Dad? I'm home." Aaron's voice was high. It wavered. "I know I'm home early...the town with the high school is filled with delinquents. They shut the place down on day three. So I...I thought I'd visit. This here is Animus Shiro. He's my Destroyer. He's a good kid, bit sort of awkward. He...he found me a job in the cafe in town...the pay...the pay is..."
Aaron fell silent. He bit his lip.
"The pay is great!" Aaron growled. He wasn't angry. "You probably want to meet my new friend...he's the...you know how my life's been. Anyway...I'm taking him to meet the rest of the Blades and to meet my master. I'll...I'll talk to you guys later tonight. P-please...meet Ani..." Aaron stumbled a few feet aside and crumpled in a ball by the gate. He stared into the dirt and leaves.
-
(((huh?)))
Animus tilted his head when he heard the word Destroyer but shook it off andlooked to the graves. He smiled, "Hi Mr. and Mrs. Blade... Its such a pleasure to finally meet you both. Your son is such an awesome guy... hes been taking care of me practically the moment we met." He approached the graves and crouched to be eye level. Animus looked back to Aaron and then back to the graves. "I brought you both a present... it may not be much but i hope you will like it.Its the least i could do to thank you for bringing Aaron into the world." He pulled out the object and unwrapped it, inside was a glass rose,he set it between the graves carefully. He gulped, "If it hadnt been for you both... i wouldve never met Aaron... He and i wouldve never met... and id still be stuck in the situation i was trapped in. You see Mr. and Mrs. Blade,"he paused and teared up, "in the process of saving me... your son has stolen something of mine. Something that i never knew i could lose." he stopped and shook from the nervousness... it was time and he was afraid.
-
Aaron glanced over at Animus. He looked at the rose and his eyes watered. He stood.
-
Animus hugged himself to stop shaking, "my heart..." he was too scared to look Aaron in the face. Did he hate him now? He couldnt stand it. he wanted to crawl away and be forgotten. His voice was shaky, "and i hope.... maybe someday... he might have the same feelings..."
-
Aaron slid out of his stupor to look at at Animus from his position on the ground, his arms hanging from his knees. He didn't know what to say. He didn't know what to think either.
Animus...loved him?
What a way to let Aaron know, right in front of his parents' graves.
"Ani..." Aaron whispered, tearing up. He covered his eyes with a hand, thinking. About everything. About nothing. A million emotions rolled through him, and the emotional instantly caused by just being there wasn't helping.
"I...I'm...th-this is..." Aaron sighed, them stood up with his head bowed. He sniffed. "This is such a terrible day for rain..."
The skies were filled with naught but the odd leaf and the sun though...
-
Ray wandered about town, getting odd looks from the various people. Mostly because he had just reapplied ritual markings to his face and arms. The obsidian necklace dangled from his neck.
-
Animus sniffled and looked up, "but there isn't any clouds... I'm sorry im so sorry... I didn't know how else to say it." He stood and turned to Aaron and placed a hand on his cheek, "Aaron... is it okay... if you hug me?" he tried his best to not cry, an audible gulp was heard as he swallowed down the knot in his throat
-
"No...it's raining." Aaron lifted his muzzle to the sky. There were dark wet patches beneath his eyes.
"We should get someplace dry...look at me. I'm sopping wet...we'll stay at my master's. It's just down the road."
Aaron turned and shuffled away, feeling numb. In front of his parents like that...animus really was interesting. Aaron smiled humourlessly. He was feeling too much to be able to feel anything; to distinguish. It was almost a relief. Everything could be dealt with later.
-
Ray wandered aimlessly, and bumped lightly into Aaron as he passed. He spoke quickly. "S-Sorry!"
-
(((Ray? Aaron and Ani are in the next town, past the city. Did you follow us a few hundred kilometres? Hehe - Enigir)))
-
((He's wandering, so...I guess he did, yeah.))
-
Ani stood there and bit his lower lip to stop himself from sobbing or crying out. He didnt care if there was someone nearby, he felt like hed just betrayed Aaron. The wet patches under his eyes, Animus stood in the cemetery while he let Aaron wander away. "im sorry..." he said it over and over again and fell to his knees. "you must hate me now... but its okay... its... okay." His head hung down.
-
Aaron shuffled to the door and knocked on it limply. The door swung inwards...and a bear of a fur reached out, grabbed Aaron by the throat and hurled him across the street!
Aaron clutched his head and leaned away from the house he had hit.
"Ita..." He gurgled.
...
"Hello." A female voice, soft and light - and with very little tonal change - greeted animus. A white furred little wolf girl with golden eyes stared half-lidded at Animus.
"Are you Aaron's friend?" She asked with a tilted head.
-
Animus looked to the girl and gasped, startled by the girl, he gulped and nodded, "i w-was.. i mean am..." he looked to the ground, "oh i dont know"
-
"Hmm." She laughed with a tiny tilted smile.
"Then perhaps you desire more of the boy than merely his company? Oh don't look at me like that. Young love is so sweet. But if that isn't the case, you should really push for your place in Aaron's heart. You see, since is parents died he never had any friends. His heart has turned to stone. And yet I feel
As though it's broken open recently. Tell me: who are you?"
A chill wind blew leaves through the little girl's long silver hair. Her voice was light but the way she used it seemed beyond the capabilities of a child.
-
Animus looked up at the girl, his own golden eyes apparent as well as a light blush in his cheeks, "m-my name is Animus Shiro... i go to the same school as Aaron... " he realised Aaron had gone off, "oh no... whered he go?"
He sighed then looked bck to the wolf girl, "If you dont mind my asking... who are you?"
-
The girl smiled.
"My name is Joanne." She pointed down the road. A gust if intense wind blew hard enough to force Animus' eyes shut. When it was over, the white furred girl in the grey-white dress was gone.
-
Animus rubbed his eyes a few times a bit confused but yet he fekt like he needed to find Aaron. He stood with a newfound determination. "I wont let you go cold again."
-
Aaron eased himself up from across the street and glared at the man in the red-black coat in the doorway.
"YOU HAVE SOME NERVE SHOWING UP SO SOON AFTER LEAVING, RUNT!" The man bellowed. Aaron checked the street six times and stormed back over. He made to throw a punch and took a nasty blow to the head. He crumpled and gasped.
"Delinquents closed it down~! I came with a friend..." Aaron wheezed.
The towering monster above him hesitated.
"What friend?" Aaron's master asked.
-
Acon wondered about the school for a while before she stopped in the counciling office to 'barrow' a few things.
-
I shove my keys into my pocket as I walk in the school
-
Acon skipped out of the office with her pockets full of small candies and other items.
-
I groan a bit and walk to my first hour
-
Acon found Ben in the hall way and smiled brightly at him. She ran to catch up with him. "Hey, you!"
-
I smile and turn around waiting for Acon "hey there"
-
Acon jumped into Ben's arms and kissed his cheek. "Where are you headed?"
-
I catch her and laugh a little "I'm on the way to class"
-
Acon giggled, nuzzling his cheek. "Mind if I sit in?"
-
"Not at all, I would actually love it" I smile a bit carrying Acon to my class
-
She clung to Ben, wrapping her arms around his neck. "What class is it?"
-
"Current world issues" I smile a bit holding Acon a bit tighter
-
Acon stuck out her tongue. "Yuck." She giggled.
-
"I know, it's not a lot of fun" I walk into the class still holding Acon we get a few glares but I shrug them off too happy to care
-
Acon smiled as they sat and laid her head down on Ben's shoulder. "I think they're jealous." She giggled.
-
I smile and turn on a laptop "I'd have to agree with you" I say before nuzzling the top of your head
-
Acon giggled again and watched Ben work. "So... what cha doin?"
-
"Just typing a paper" I say with a bored tone. I sigh and mess around with my class ring a bit
-
Acon leaned over and wrapped her arms around Ben's waist.
-
I smile and stroke one of your ears softly
-
*Dubaku walks into the classroom with a Chipotle bag in one hand, and a drink in the other, the teacher is about to ask why he's late but he interrupted* Yea, I was busy with shit that ain't this. Sue me.
-
I laugh a bit and chime in, "he wouldn't know what to do with your food stamps"
-
Acon's eyes widened and she covered Ben's mouth with her paw. "Stop that!"
-
I grumble then lick Acon's paw continuing to type
-
Acon smiled warmly and put her paw down, kissing Ben's cheek.
-
I smile happily
-
*Dubaku turned around* Food stamps? Boy, I drive a Lambo. Compared to me, food stamps is all you're makin'. *he laughs, grabs a seat and leans back, putting his feet up on the desk*
-
Acon huffed, picked up a large text book and chucked it at Dubaku. The book nailed him in the back of his head.
-
*Dubaku rubs the back of his head* Guess I hit a nerve. *he chuckles*
-
Acon growled, sitting back down. "Look you little, piss ant. That shit isn't funny."
-
I dunno. I was laughing. So were most of the dudes on the lacrosse team. I'd say that qualifies as funny.
-
*Suddenly a drug crazed ulfur ran up to acon and dubaku* "I send my regards! SHIKAKA!" *I stab dubaku in the stomach and then throw the knife at acon, missing her by millimeters*
-
*Dubaku pulls out the tiny knife* The hell? Eh, I never really liked this shirt that much anyway. That kid is on his way to getting beamed with a lacrosse ball.
-
If I remember that car was given to you not purchased by you, and I have a lotus in the lot right now and a Maserati back home so you can think what you want but I believe I have a higher income then all you dumbass lacrosse players combined
-
Boy, you do know my Lambo will leave your mommy's Maserati and your daddy's Lil Lotus in the dust. Plus, I got a Ferrari LaFerrari, a Koenigsegg Agera R, a Lamborghini Veneno, a Bentley Continental GT, a Ferrari 458 Spyder, and a Lamborghini Sesto Elemento sitting in my garage. I just really love my Aventador. I guarantee that your net worth is only 5 figures, just going over $90,000. Also... *he takes out his lacrosse stick* Do you even STX Katana, bro?
-
Acon rolled her eyes. "See, this is why I hate rich kids. Mommy and daddy make all the money and for some reason, those little pricks think they're the bread winners. I just don't get it." She stood, picking up her back pack. "And what a shame that one of those little pants pissers is on our lacross team. Lacorss is a very respectable game and people like you only ruin it." She spat at Dubaku on her way out of the classroom. "Ben, I'll be outside in the court yard. Come find me when your head's out of your ass."
-
*he whistles, then looks to Ben* Dayum... you just got told, son. Wait... no, never mind, I think we both did. 'Ey, don't be hatin', remember your name sounds similar to a dude with a Gallardo... Akon
-
"Sure thing" I look at dub "no she's just fed up with the fighting thats all
-
Sitting on a stone bench, Acon wiped at her eyes. She tried to keep tears back, but she found it hard.
-
Ray limped passed Acon, but turned, and sat beside her. "Everything okay?"
-
Acon shook her head. "No! Everything is not ok!"
-
Ray flinched, and reeled back. "D-Do you...wanna talk about it?"
-
Acon nodded. "My boyfriend! I... he... I love him so much, but he fights. A lot."
-
Ray nodded. "I see. Maybe...maybe you could talk to him?"
-
Acon shrugged. "I-I don't know." She sniffed. "I don't want him hurt... or in jail."
-
Ray shrugged. "I wish I could help, but no-one listens to me. They think I'm crazy."
-
Eh, fair enough. *he looks at the clock* Well, at least the school day's almost over. I'm just about done for today.
-
Acon eyed Ray for a moment before she laughed. "Yeah. They do." She bit her lip. "Oh! I uh... I don't think that."
-
Ray nodded. "Well, thank you."
-
Class ends and I turn the laptop off shoving it in my backpack I walk out of the class and punch a wall my knuckles bleeding a bit
-
Acon sighed. "So... what's up with you kid?"
-
I walk to the courtyard
-
*Dubaku walked out and saw Ben punch the wall* Shit, you are mad unstable. *he walks outside to his car*
-
Ray shrugged. "Hated by society, scorned by most people, and surviving off of whatever I can find, or steal. Other than that? I'm hoping I can get another portal open."
-
Acon hugged herself. "Portal?" Her ears perked and she turned to see Ben. "Are you done?" She scowled.
-
Ray saw Ben, and stood. He spoke quietly to himself. "The fighter." Ray looked at Acon, and smiled sheepishly. "It was fun talking to you, I'll see you later!" He started away, hoping he hadn't offended Ben.
-
"Yeah" I say some blood dripping from my knuckles "I'm goin to the hospital for a couple stitches"
-
"What'd you do? Go and fight Dubaku?" Tears welled up in Acon's eyes.
-
"No I punched a wall to stop myself from caving in his face" I start walking to the parking lot leaving a thin trail of blood behind me
-
Animus left the cemetery and traversed the empty streets calling out Aaron's name, a bit scared someon might get mad at him for being loud, but he wanted to find Aaron, he wanted to apologize, "please be okay... Aaron!"
-
Acon sat where she was and watched Ben leave. "That's it?" She said to herself, wiping tears from her eyes.
-
Ray limped back towards Acon, after Ben had left, and sat beside her. "So, that happened."
-
Aaron glanced at Ani from the floor as his master did the same from his standing position in the doorway.
"This little girl is your friend? What kind of twit are you?" The master sighed.
"That's Animus Shiro...my destroyer." Aaron coughed. His master failed to react.
-
I unlock the car and get inside pulling out violently speeding away
-
*Dubaku got into his Lambo* Have a nice day, ya miserable bastards. *he laughs, does a burnout and speeds off* Wooooo!!!
-
Acon cried into her knees. "He just left."
-
Animus saw Aaron injured on the ground, he failed to notice the hulkinf fur monster standing over him, "oh my god are you okay what hap-?" he noticed the shadow and turned back looking to the master, "i-isthis...?"
-
Ray flinched, and then patted Acon's back, gently. "U-Umm...h-he'll...erm...uh." Ray shook his head, and remained silent.
-
Acon's cries got worse when she realized she didn't have a ride. "Where am I gonna sleep?"
-
"Aaron Blade. How disappointed I am in you! What kind of pathetic destroyer can beat one such as you so easily!? And the age gap! It's shameful! How dare you - get in!" Aaron's master picked the fox up and hurled him onto the couch. Aaron bounced off of it and Into the wall.
The dark figure with the odd coat turned to animus and knelt condescendingly down.
"Hello." He grunted; civil enough considering...
-
Ray blinked. "U-Um...I've got room...b-but, it's a warehouse...n-not far from here." He rubbed the back of his neck. "I mean...it's got heat, and running water."
-
I arrive at the hospital and wait as the doctors clean off my fist putting stitches into my knuckles
-
"Aaron!" Animus cried out and whimpered,he was completely worried and afraid, would this master hurt him too, more importantly, was Aaron alright? He looked to the ground scared, "h-hello... im... im Animus Sh-Shiro... Aaron has told m-me a lot about you... but please.... please stop hurting him!" He shut his eyes tight waiting to be picked up and slammed into the ground or something similar.
-
Acon looked at Ray with hopeful eyes. "Really? I've been staying over at Ben's for the pays few days." Suddenly, her ears dropped. "No, never mind. Ben's a pretty jealous guy."
-
No blow was forthcoming.
"THIS is what broke you? Sad. Get in here, runt." The master directed the first of that to Aaron and the last to animus.
"So what bring you into my pupil's life, Shiro-runt? Want something to drink? I've got various fruit juices in the fridge. Cups under the sink, right drawer. Don't empty me out."
-
Ray offered a smile. "I'm sure he'll understand. But, if you wish otherwise, so be it."
-
I sigh as they finish
-
*Dubaku speeds past Ben*
-
Acon forced a smile at Ray. "No, ill be fine."
-
Ray sighed. "Well...at least let me walk you home? I could use the company, and the walk. Please? I've held conversations with my reflection for the past few days, and need someone else to talk to." He smiled pleadingly.
-
The small wolf relaxed then frowned a bit at the runt remark. Animus entered with ears lowered, "Oh no im fine but... thank you. W-Well... Aaron... saved me from my situation..."
-
Acon nodded and stood. "Sure."
-
"Which is? Explain yourself, girl!" Aaron's master said harshly. Aaron writhed on the floor and faded away a little. Doubtless he'd be woken if needed.
-
Ray stood, and limped along beside Acon. He looked briefly at her, before locking his eyes on the horizon. "You're beautiful."
-
Acon blushed. "Thanks." She brushed her hair from her face.
-
Ray offered a sheepish smile. "Sorry if that was too forward, I was just speaking my mind."
-
Acon shook her head. "No no! It's fine."
-
I get back in the car and slam my head into the dashboard "**censor**, I'm so **censor** stupid" slams my head down again
-
Acon sighed after a bit.
-
Ray offered a smile, as he limped along. "Everything okay?"
-
I sob a bit "I've got a problem" I sit back up and start the car soaring back to the school to apologize to Acon. I get out of the car and search around for her
-
"Did you see that?" Acon saw Ben's car whiz by Ani smiled brightly.
-
"Shit where did she go" I continue looking asking people if they'd seen her
-
Ray blinked. "I did. What was it?"
-
Acon took Ray's arm and stared pulling him back to the school. "My baby came back to get me!"
-
I run back out of the school my search failed, I look about frantically
-
"Ben!" Acon called once the school was in view. She let go of Ray's arm and ran to Ben with tears in her eyes.
-
Ray stood, and smiled at Ben, hoping he wasn't upset.
-
I hear Acon then look seeing her, I run to her hugging her tight on arrival "I'm so sorry I'm such an ass"
-
Acon buried her nose in Ben's chest and smiled warmly at him. "I love you! I love you so much!"
-
"I love you too" hugs her tighter and smiles
-
Acon leaned up and kissed him. "Please don't ever do that again!" She pleaded.
-
I kiss her back "I'll try.. For you"
-
Acon smiled and nodded. "Okay. I... just want you to be safe."
-
Ray smiled, and started limping away. "I'll...I'll see you later, miss."
-
Acon turned her head to Ray and nodded. "Goodbye! Thank you!"
-
I look at Ray a bit "thanks for keeping her safe pal" I look back down at Acon "but safe is no fun"
-
Acon sighed and looked up at him with a sweet smile. "Safe is what keeps us alive and out of jail."
-
"I guess you've made your point, do you wanna go home now?"
-
Ray winced, and started to walk away. He felt like he'd done something wrong.
-
Acon nodded. "Uh huh. I'm exhausted." She kissed him softly.
-
"Me too." I kiss her back softly and pick her up with a smile
-
Acon giggled and wrapped her legs around Ben's waist, her paws placed on his shoulders.
-
I smile happily as I carry you to the car
-
Animus winced and yelped startled by the harsh words of this master. ""i-im sorry! Aaron gacw me a place to stay... when i was living in a snakk cafe"
-
"Really." The man said. "Of course he would. Perverted. So what's your story? Why were you in the cafe and for the love of god WHY are you his destroyer?"
-
"My parents were.... my parents were killed in a house fir a few years ago... so i was left on my own..." Animus gulped and gripped his hands together tightly, "and so i snuck into the cafe... i dodnt want to be a bother to anyone... so it seemed like a good idea... but whats a Destroyer?" Ani loked to Aaron
-
"You mean you don't know what a destroyer is? Destroyers are those who shatter the ideals and values of their Marks. A Mark is often one individual, chosen only for the Destroyer by Fate. Those following my creed understand that meeting one's destroyer is a pivotal point in ones life. One thing I neglected to mention: a destroyer is known in other circles as a 'soul mate'; a lover. So...you love my pupil, don't you, little girl?" The man sighed. It was hands off; Aaron had to find his own way now. Until his ideals took root there was no talking to the nine tailed fox.
-
Animus blushed bright red, "w-w-what!? i... i.... i dont... i mean i... ummm... i just..." Animus covered his face with his paws and squealed
-
"By the way, you're lucky I caught him watching Kill la Kill or I might shoot you for dressing like a cultist school girl, miss Shiro." The towering figure said. "It figures he'd go for a cosplayer. And an orphan at that...you were built for each other. I bet you get him in all the right...spots...too."
The man narrowed his eyes. He wouldn't even need his imposing figure to rip this one apart to see how she ticked.
-
Animus squealed even louder, "n-no we havent even oh m y god... we havent done a-anything! and ummm... Mister... Master?""
-
"Solrein. Solrein Cross. Everyone calls me Cross. At any rate, I'm surprised. The fox has remained a gentleman in your company."
Cross fell silent and stared deep into animus' soul. A grandfather clock upstairs ticked loudly. It chimed five in the evening.
"DINNER TIME! NOW!" Cross shouted. Still apparently out cold Aaron shot up like a puppet being wrenched into action and started cooking in the kitchen.
"We will be watching the news this evening, followed by a film of my choice." Cross said with finality. Aaron started waking up halfway through his cooking. Apparently it was a posh chicken dish.
-
Animus squeaked again from he abrupt yelling and slipped, he fell onto Cross, "i-im so sorry!" he looked up to Cross and blushed brightly, now that he had a good look, Cross was quite the looker, he extinguished that thought instantly... Aaron was the one he loved.
-
"Get off of me." Cross sneered.
-
Animus flung himself off of Cross instantly and trembled a bit, he scoot back against a wall and gulped
-Aaron please help me!- Animus screamed in his mind
"y-your plan for tonight... it sounds great, again im really sorry Mister Cross!"
-
"Don't be obsequious." Cross grunted. "I'm only letting you two losers know do I'm not forced to sit through hours of anime tonight."
"Dinner," Aaron tiredly said as he placed a hurriedly made but still amazing dish before the three of them. He collapsed on the couch and forced a few mouthfuls down. His vision was practically gone; just two pinpoints. He was so tired...he owed it to his parents...to...to visit...
"Ani...? Coffee..." He gurgled as he slid down the couch.
-
Animus couldnt pinpoint it, but for the first time he felt somewhat irritated and upset with someone... and tha someone was Cross, he looked to Aaron with major worry and rushed to put a pot of coffee on, he rushed back to Aaron and lifted tyhe fox's head into his lap, "shhhhh just rest..." he stroked Aaron's head and hummed softly enough for only Aaron to hear, he had set his piece of dinner on the floor next to him along with Aaron's, "a-are you still hungry?" Animus whispered
-
"No...family..." Aaron mumbled.
"Give him the drink, animus. He needs to see his family. Wake him by prodding his side just below the rib cage." Cross said as he stared at the television, oddly tenderly.
-
Animus trailed his fingers down to the spot and gently poked at it
-
"Gah! Whu..." Aaron jerked violently and kicked, waking slowly back up.
"She got your drink. Take it and get out." Cross said flatly. Aaron took the coffee with a small thanks and sipped at it. It was great. A veritable Shiro Special.
-
"Thanks Mister Cross..." Animus said with a smile, he grabbed Aarons arm and helped him stand, then he headed towards the door
-
"No! You stay back here!" Aaron snapped at Animus like a cornered and wounded animal. He stood silent in the doorway for a moment before sliding off into the growing darkness.
-
Animus closed his eyes tightly and lowered his ears at the stern talk from Aaron, "b-but i... no!" he wiped his eyes and ran after Aaron
-
Cross grabbed Animus' arm and watched the fox slink off I to the night. He have Animus a meaningful look.
-
"i.. i still need to...! p-please let go! i said let go!" Animus became hysterical and sobbed, "Aaron come back! please!" he tried pulling aay from Cross' grasp, "im sorry Aaron! im... im sorry..." he gave up and went limp, he fell to his knees and cried
-
Ray moved along the street, feeling the eyes of hundreds glare at him. He didn't care, all he wanted was to return to his warehouse. Ray opened the gates, and slipped inside, before anyone saw him, and ran into the warehouse. He flopped onto the mattress he found, and curled up.
-
"Do you know him at all, miss Shiro? It's ibvious he's going to the graveyard to visit his parents. Don't you ever spend time alone with yours? Trust me. He will return by midnight."
Cross grabbed Ani by the scruff of the neck - quite parentally - and carried Animus back to the sofa. Then he wiped Animus' eyes with a napkin and set him in front of the TV.
"Immerse yourself in current affairs."
-
Animus calmed as he was carried then put down, he sniffled and nodded understanding now. he watched the program for a bit then shifted postin to get comfortable, "umm... Mister Cross?"
-
"What is it, girl?" Cross asked softly.
-
"B-Boy..." Animus corrected
-
Equipped with her new backpack, and everything that a student could need(plus a little more), Faye walked into the doors of her new high school. She looks down at the paper in her hand, trying to make heads or tails of what the symbols meant, and where she could find her classes. She sighs, and looks around. "how am i ever going to find my first class...." She looks back down at her schedule, and studies it intensely for a few minutes.
-
"B-boy?" Cross said. He clutched his head and sighed. "Today has been stupid. I'm going to bed. Watch whatever you want."
Cross thumped upstairs and slammed the door shut. Slightly muffled, he shouted:
"AND DONT MAKE ANY NOISE!"
...
Aaron hadn't been able to speak to his parents. He simply collapsed between the two graves and felt. He let all of his emotions erupt and tear him and each other to pieces until he couldn't even sustain his waking state. And so like many other nights he may between his parents' tombs and slept.
The white clad Joanne stood above him, smiling inscrutably.
-
*Ulfur walked up behind the fresh meat studying her schedule* You lost little lady?
-
Animus turned the tv onto a nice action show, "Aaron please be okay, no matter what ill always love you..." he layed on the couch and slowly fell asleep
-
*Dubaku entered the school and suddenly saw Ulfur, he took out his lacrosse stick and shot a ball at Ulfur, nailing him in the temple* That's for ruining my shirt, ya li'l wad.
-
*turns around and looks at dubaku* Funny joke lil man!
-
What part of this is a joke to you, exactly? *he cracks his knuckles*
-
That you get all that you want and do nothing to deserve it. *points a finger at dubaku* You are the joke man.
-
The next day, Aaron awoke in the spare room of his master's house. He sighed and stretched, wriggling around a little. It was a nice warm bed. Eventually he woke up a little and sat on the side of the bed, rubbing his eyes.
Aaron made his way downstairs and poured a coffee before quietly starting on breakfast. He placed Animus' on the coffee table and poked him awake before tiredly gliding up the stairs and knocking on Cross' door. After a grumbled instruction he entered, left the food and started waking up as he came back downstairs to eat his own food by the door on the ground.
-
Animus leaned up and yawned, his bed head seemed to be the norm, he smacked his lips a few times then looked to Aaron eating, he blinked a few times then it clicked, "y-youre back!" animus scrambled to Aaron and hugged him tightly, "i was so worried..."
-
Am I now? So, I don't deserve to indulge, that's it? You really think I give a shit? *he starts laughing*
-
Aaron jumped and growled, his ears flattened back. He took a moment to realise it was Animus and he mumbled an apology. He wasn't quite awake yet.
-
Animus scooted back and looked to the floor, "no you dont have to apologize... i do... i... i told you... when we were with your parents... that was so insensitive and wrong of me to do... im sorry Aaron... im just... i dont know why you hang out with me.... sometimes i wonder if it would be easier for you if we didnt meet...."
-
Whatever, you're a waste of my time anyway. Have fun being in the 99% *he walks down the hall, then sees the new student* Ayo, need help gettin to class, shawty?
-
"Don't talk sh*t, Ani...I just prefer to breakfast alone of a morning is all..." Aaron mumbled, reaching out to grab Ani behind the head. He pulled ani's face on to his shoulder and rested his head against the wolf's neck.
"Morning."
-
Animus blushed as he felt Aaron rest his head into his neck, "M-Morning..."
-why cant i jst shut up...- he thought to himslf -i keep upsetting him-
-
Aaron held him there a little while, until he heard Master Cross stirring in his room. He gently pushed Ani away and continued on his food.
-
Animus glanced to the tv and saw his reflection, "oh my god my hair!" he rushed to the bathroom to fix it immediately
-
(((Edit: deepness imminent! - Gir)))
"How's my gay little pupil this fine morning?" Cross growled and rubbed his eyes. He was already wearing his menacing coat. On his back was a sword.
Aaron sighed. He had thought his master might be a bit classier than this. But of course Solrein Cross would be an utter jerk when dealing with Aaron's affairs.
Aaron stood and loosened his scarf a little. Of course Cross knew what that gesture meant.
"You DARE threaten me?" Cross growled as a grin slid across his face. "First time you have ever even tried to defy me so openly. Are you sure you're ready to die today?"
"I will not have you insult Animus and I so loosely." Aaron's voice wavered a fraction.
"Righteous punk-ass! You think your values have any meaning!?"
"THEY SHOULD, THEY WERE YOURS TO BEGIN WITH!" Aaron roared. His eyes teared up with rage as he drew his knife and held it in both hands. "Animus, shut the bathroom door. Now!"
Aaron waited for Animus to hide himself before he continued.
"Oh, so now you're going for the ringleader of mardi-gras huh? That's your very first ambition!?" Solrein Cross snarled.
"No! But if I were at least it would be mine!"
"For the sake of your boy toy," Cross challenged.
"But still mine!" Aaron adjusted his grip on his knife. It gleamed silver. He had kept it well. "Damn hypotheticals! Can't you see past your goddamn perceptions and think for yourself!? I'm your son, at least the damn nearest thing you ever got to one - and you're going to act like THIS just because my destroyer wound up male!?"
"I'm going to act how I want around you because it might leave a lasting impression on your impressionable, blank slate of a mind!" Cross slammed a fist on the bench.
"Yeah right! I'm stuck with all your stupid, morally and emotionally useless teachings and believe me maintaining that kind of idiocy takes a lotta focus! And screw your ignorance! Do you even know what being gay actually is!? It's just primal desire; it's love! If you've got no time to worry about the bigger issues in life then you can just GO DIE!" Aaron screamed that last part at the top of his lungs. Cross knew what it was for Aaron to threaten death; the fox took that kind of thing very seriously. He wouldn't even listen to jokes with death involved.
Inside, Cross smiled. He was done as Aaron's master.
*You're really set in your convictions, aren't you my boy? Well done. You don't need me so much anymore. With what I say next, please understand that I will always be there for you.*
Cross frowned on the outside.
"I'm disowning you as my pupil." Cross said simply; quietly. Aaron was shocked. He just stood there with wide eyes and a thumping heart. Cross made to push past him.
"...No..." Aaron whispered. He splayed his tails and made to stab Cross. "NO~! No...not like this! Not because...because of THIS..."
Cross let Aaron have a free shot to his side. It was a light wound. It felt light to cross, who had fought enough in his life to tell. He took a step back then walked around Aaron. The door seemed to click open and slam shut overly loudly. Aaron fell to his knees. His master left him, his dead parents hated him, Animus was going to get scared and run away, probably through a window. The rest of the Blades would hunt him down and probably kill him for all this. Aaron smiled sadly. He looked tearfully down at the knife. Of course...his parents would hate him forever. But still...but still...the Blades wouldn't kill him. HE WOULD!
Aaron fumbled the knife he had wielded so fluidly and expertly before and barely got it up to his chest. He held it in both hands. He was shaking.
Then...everything stopped.
Aaron just sat there...not moving. Not thinking. Not feeling. Barely breathing. He swore he could hear Animus in the bathroom.
He was...still there? He looked down.
"YARGH!" He yelped like he'd actually stabbed himself, throwing the hunting knife across the room as he spasmed in fear. What was he doing!? He couldn't just die like a coward! Them he'd never be forgiven - by anyone! And his other family could go stuff themselves! If Ani was there...then maybe...just maybe...there was just a tiny, nearly microscopic reason to keep living. Aaron smiled dementedly, curling up into a tiny ball in the floor and shaking as the tears flowed. He couldn't think about what to do. He honestly tried. But in the end the only thing he wanted; the only thing he thought he could possibly handle right now...was the company of a blue and white wolf called Animus Shiro.
(((Sorry for the stupidly deep post, anyone who reads this. I'm really sorry if I pull any heart strings...I just...well...I dunno. I got nothin'. But don't worry about me, I'm not expressing any current angst with this post! But, in advance, if I hurt anyone with this intense emotional post then I'm sorry.
- Enigir Shosa.)))
-
Animus was wide eyed, the knife... but Aaron couldnt have... could he? Animus took a step to the door, "A-Aaron?" he said shakily, he slowly peeked his head from the door, his hands shaking from the intensity from the argument his friend and his friend's former Master had, also he shook and teared up from the things he had said about him... but that didnt matter right now... he saw Aaron curled on the ground making Ani fear theworst, he let out a loud wail and dashed to Aaron crying hysterically, "Aaron no please dont die on me! Aaron i love you dont-!" he looked over to t knife laying on the ground then looked over Aaron and let out another wail and held him tightly, "i... i thought... i lost you...." he gripped Aaron's fur and then moved a paw to his head, petting the fox comfortingly, "shhh" Animus sniffled and pressed his head into Aaron's chst, "please dont cry...."
-
Aaron lay curled up for a long while. Feeling was returning to his body and his mind. But that was a mixed blessing. He couldn't even begin to describe how he felt. Violent...afraid...alone...vulnerable...free...all that was merely a beginning.
"I really hate my life right now!" Aaron choked and half laughed, half sobbed. He pulled himself closer to Animus.
That wolf...really, animus was the source of every piece of misfortune that had befallen Aaron these last two days. But somehow...
It was as though it didn't matter so much.
"I...I..." Aaron huffed desperately.
-
"j-just try to breathe normally Aaron calm down..."Animus tried to choke back the sobs and tears himself. He then took a deep breath then exhaled, "breathe Aaron... breathe... then tell me..."
-if we hadnt met... would he be in this mess? no of course not... ive done nothing but hurt him ever since weve crossed paths....- he thought as he kept trying to comfort him
-
"I...I'm..." Aaron staggered to his feet. He took a few steps towards his knife and picked it up.
"IM SO ANGRY NOW!" Aaron roared with insane eyes. He tore a huge hole in the couch and flipped it over, lightly damaging the coffee table. He hopped over it and put his foot right through the TV. Then the enraged fox threw the remote through the window and tore into the next room. Further sounds of insane destruction could be heard from there. Then Aaron shot upstairs, a feral grin on his face, and kicked his master's bedroom door clean off - after a few attempts. He broke everything glass in there and threw a cheap replica painting down the stairs. He bounded down along just after the unfortunate canvas with a feral grin over his face. He bounced along and pinned Ani to the floor - Aaron's feet on Ani's ankles, his hands on the wolf's wrists. The Fox's tails were uneven and splayed. His eyes were feral slits.
"You..." Aaron purred. His smile widened a little. He released his grip on one if Animus' wrists and gently stroked the wolf's face with an almost possessive finger.
-
Ani looked at Aaron and huddled in a corner as he went crazy, his ears covered by his paws before they were grabbed and pinned above him.Ani yelped and whimpred shaking, "A-Aaron... that hurts!" he struggled against his grip and then gasped a bit as he saw his feral smile, he flinched a bit as his finger ran across his face "W-What are you doing?"
-
"You..." Aaron repeated. "...are the stupidest guy I've ever met."
Aaron said that with a laugh. He shifted his weight so as to stop causing animus pain and used his free finger to poke Animus' nose.
"You're stupid." He said again. "Your timing is awful...you're too polite...you're confusing, you're timid, you're...a total goofball."
Aaron got up and sat beside animus. He stared at the wolf with new eyes.
"You know what, goofball? All that is exactly why I think I want to give this a shot. What do you say - now I've got it all out of my system - wanna give a relationship a chance? If you can still handle this angst-ridden dumbass of a fox, that is."
-
Ani looked to Aaron a bit dazed, "W-wait..." he tried processing what was being said then gasped, "y-you want to... with... me?" he looked into Aaron's eyes as a small tear escaped his eye... "yes... yes!" he grabbed Aaron's paw and nodded over and over, "yes, yes a million times yes!"
-
"Whoa, easy!" Aaron said, burying his face in his knees and blushing like crazy. "I'm not proposing marriage or anything I just...I'm saying that...I want to be..."
Aaron stood up and turned his back to animus, his tsundere powers awakening.
"I'm just saying that I'll let you be my b-boyfriend if you really want to, you idiot!"
Aaron harrumphed and turned.
"He's gonna kill us when he gets back, and this trash house makes me wanna puke anyway. So get your stuff. Let's go eat in the city in our way back home. And then...maybe we can go out to that Chinese place tonight once we're home. And then watch all the anime we bought..."
Aaron's eyes glazed over at the mention of all the merchandise they had bought back at the store in the city yesterday. He snapped out of it and thudded upstairs to the spare room to collect his bags of stuff. He donned his Sword Art Online Blackwyrm coat and black pants before putting all of his stuff into a duffel bag he decided he was going to steal from his master. He returned and gestured for animus to put his things in the spare room in the bag.
-
Animus was to exciged to remember about visiting Aaron's family, he quickly did as Aaron asked, a large smile on his face, "of course i want to... i... i love you..." he said wit a blush and quickly headed to the door, "lets go get some grub then.... chinese food and anime here we come!!!"
-
"Grub? Really?" Aaron asked. "At any rate we need to get lunch first. Now come on, before the old hole comes back and attacks us - I'm not good enough to hold him off long."
Aaron carried both of their things and made along the path. They passed the open structure pub...and Solrein Cross watched them pass. Aaron flipped him the bird and kept walking.
Cross simply smiled.
-
Ani stayed close to Aaron's side and hid behind him as they passed Cross, as they were out of view from the pub Ani leaned up and whispered, "h-hey Aaron?"
-
"What, animus?" Aaron asked as he glared out at the approaching bus stop.
-
Ani blushed, "A-as much as i enjoy wearing senketsu... it would be nice to be in some... more clothing..." men continud staring like before... a few pubs nearby had some men that would whistle out
-
"Ugh, fine. Take the bag and change in the bus stop restrooms. And ignore those guys - they're all a bunch of virgins that wouldn't even speak to a woman let alone try anything." Aaron sat down on a bus stop bench and waited.
-
Ani smiled and took the bag, "ill be quick..." he went to the bathroom and locked himself in a stall, he quickly changed into his shorts and hoodie,
As Aaron sat a bell jingle was heard, a feline looking fur sa next to him, his fur a pale white, he wore a collar with a bell, "hello..." he said with a mocking smile and tone
-
"Hello." Aaron continued to wait in silence.
(((Sorry fir the wait I was lunching - Geer)))
-
He chuckled, "my my why Ani chose you is a mystery to me... he seemed to have a thing for rough guys ever since he was a pup though... oh where are my manners? Im Noah..."
-
"What..." Aaron turned and gave Noah a very suspicious look. "...are you talking about? And what connection do you have to Animus Shiro?"
-
Animus called out to Aaron as he left the bathroom, as Ani caught Aaron's attention Noah had disappeared, "Aaron? you okay?" Ani looked to Aaron with concern
-
((Can I join in?))
-
(((No reason why not - but my character and sub's are in a town one city over from the town the actual High School is in. Out characters are heading back now. Enjoy! - Gir)))
"No. I am disgruntled - who is this Noah character that approached me just now? And why is he so like Joanne?" Aaron half snapped.
-
"How do you know Joanne? Who is she? and who is Noah?" Ani tilted his head
-
((Meh. Ill just be a... creepy distance tag along.)) Julie was seated at an out door cafe; she was visiting her friend out of town for the day. She spotted students from her school, she paid her bill and quietly stayed a distance aways and watched them curiously.
-
"How could I NOT know Joanne? She lives in this retarded little town and in tiny places like this everyone knows everyone. She...interferes with things - the Blade family in particular. She...well, she's an enigma. I've no proof but I heard tell she's in her late twenties, early thirties. She is a remarkable individual - even that jackass Cross said 'she is one with the wind'. Probably cause of the way she comes and goes without a trace as she pleases. She can also hold her liquor and isn't so creepy when you get to know her."
"But as for Noah...he was a lot like Joanne. I..." Aaron frowned. "I couldn't describe him aside from being a smug bastard who seems to know you like a favourite book."
Aaron stood and took the big duffel bag as the bud pulled up.
"Come on."
-
Ani had his thinking face in action as the bus pulled up and the new couple boarded. "S-so you dont like Joanne? And Noah knows about me... well nevermind." he found two empty seats and sat near the window "so... we're... dating right?" he blushed and twiddled his thumbs nervously
-
"We are, but save your reaction. First you question the identity of this Noah character, and then you speak as if he were a skeleton you've been hiding in your closet. As for Joanne, we have a relationship of mutual respect and mild camaraderie. Now please...explain Noah."
Aaron paid the bus fare - nearly to the detriment of his wallet - and sat beside his potential mate.
-
Ani shuffled a bt in his seat and looked out the window, "well.. i was... kind of shocked when i heard you say that... Noah was a character in a story my mom made up to keep me calm... she said'If you ever feel like you arent safe you can call on your guardian angel, hhis name is Noah, just say his name and he will come running'" Ani teared up, "oh gosh im sorry..."
-
"It seems your mother was more than just a smile and some stories. Frankly I think you have some digging to do." Aaron fell silent as the bus roared and whooshed away from town. He put the duffel bag on his legs and rifled through the things inside.
"Wait, my pile is in the other...side...Animus? Why am I looking at Doujinshi? And...oh, Ani. See if you weren't so secretive you might not have wasted so much money. I've got the complete series for this one back home."
-
Ani let out a soft squeal and yanked the Doujinshi from Aaron, "You didnt see that!!!!" his face was beet rwd as he hunched over and lowered his ears, "ill just... have an extra copy then!!!"
-
"What are you so upset about, it's not a bad story. Actually give me that, I forgot most if his it started." Aaron distractedly took the manga from Animus and started reading. Within seconds he was totally absorbed. He stopped for a second.
"Don't look through my stuff, some of it's yours." He went back to reading. One of his tails snaked around and draped itself around ani's hips and tail.
-
Animus cotinued to blush and let out a groan, he looked down to the draping tail and hesitantly rested his paws on it. "i wont...."
Thankfully he managed to sneak the hardcore doujin from him labelled, "The Deep Darkness Rising"
-
Several hours later, Aaron staggered through the door of their apartment and flopped on the sofa. The duffel bag rolled off somewhere. They hadn't caught lunch fur to a breakdown on their first bus which had nearly stranded them in the city. Then his card had been declined about twelve times at the restaurant he had tried to take Sub into that night. He was tired and hungry. He rolled onto his back.
"How y' feelin' dude...?" He half sighed.
-
Ani instantly went to the kitchen and turned on the oven, "we cant eat chinese out then ill just have to make some old fashioned shiro Chinese!!!!" he had a look of determination "you just rest while i get it made baby!" Ani blushed andleft his maw open a little, "n-nothing...." he went o the fridge and gathered the vegies, chicken, and then grabbed tortillas. he grabbed a pan and poured vegetable oil in it and slapd a tortilla in it... it sizzled to a crisp. The chicken was cooked and diced as well as the vegies which Animus rolled into the tortillas making home made egg rolls
He took the remaining meat and veggies and cooked it in a pot of rice
-
*Dubaku burst through his front door, looking at all the continuing snowfall, he took a deep breath* Finally, winter is here. *He rushed back inside to get his board* it ain't a day for drivin' a Lambo to school... no, Imma have some fun
-
Aaron barely managed to finish his meal before he collapsed on the floor that night.
...
Aaron hoisted his backpack a little higher on his shoulder the next morning and glanced at animus.
"Didn't that last two days feel like two weeks?" He remarked casually. Never mind the fact he was 'with' this guy after just one week...
"So how do you want me to play this? Do we let people know by themselves or...what?" Aaron stated at the school as it loomed ahead. The snow fell in a beautiful white sheen...only in the films. Currently it was way too cold, turning brown on the ground and gusting in thousands of different directions.
As Aaron sighed, a puff of frost came with it.
-
*Dubaku got a running start and hopped on his board, the bindings automatically strapped his feet in, and he began his ride to school*
-
Ani sneezed an sniffled, he pressed himself close to Aaron as he shivered, "t-too cold... i-i-i hate cold... b-ut i-if anyone asks.... t-tell them the truth... but dont say anything unless necessary" he looked to the school as memories of their first meeting flooded his mind, a small smile played across his quivering lips, "i-it felt more l-l-like months to m-me"
He hugged Aaron's arm as he shook from the cold, although he wore a fuzzy coat along with ear warmers and warm pants along with gloves, which he had Aaron to thank for keeping a few of his old clothes. He always was sensitive to the cold... he hated winter and preffered to live in year round warm locations.
-
((Something I didn't ask. Is this a live in school or a regular public school?))
-
(((public buddy! :3 )))
-
((Kinda wanna get back into this, but as a different character because lotty seems to have a all of interest in forums RP's.
-
((yeah is it just me or have sub and i just dominated this rp? Unless he and i have another plot idea we shall continue to comply as students - well i guess i cant speak for him. But yeah. My aaron needs to socialise with others. - gir ))
-
((lul. Ani is shy as fak aaaaand plot... hehe too much plot))
-
((Roighto, if lotty comes back, I'll go back to thomas. For now, I'll be 'Don Copland', German shepherd JROTC student.
-
((Boop! Here I am!))
-
((Kiiinda wanted to be a JROTC student tho
-
(((What's a JROTC?)))
Aaron checked his timetable as he entered the school and held the door for animus. A double in art was next. He wordlessly held the scrap of paper out did Animus to see.
"I can show you how to draw. Hey...remember that exorcist picture I drew of myself? The one I dropped when we first met?" Aaron glanced out at the snow. He ignored the lockers and walked closer to the glass. So...was this his life now? He felt so unrestrained, and almost content. No...he felt loved. It was a warm feeling. He put an arm in the cold glass and leaned his head on it.
"Animus." He said, trusting the wolf would be beside him. "I'm going to force you up into a higher tank in the cafe. Depending on how the current owner reacts, I might push to have you in charge. From there I branch out with a reference written by you to one of the restaurants. I work my way up in there. By that time I estimate our school lives will be half over. And by the time we graduate...I always wanted to travel. What do you say, Ani? Do you think it's worth giving that plan a shot?"
The snow fell harder still.
-
((JROTC is a military program that most high schools have. Even mine did until our sergeant retired.))
-
((Yup. And sadly, my school doesn't offer it because it's a nerd school, literally.
-
((Hey. Nerd schools aren't bad. Mine is a school of excellence or whatever. We have a trade school that we can take classes at.
-
((I'm not saying it's bad! TERRA is great! It's just I'm kinda sad they don't offer JROTC.
-
((Ey, I'm goin into Navy ROTC, and I'm pursuing a career in Aerospace engineering, whaaaat?))
-
Animus looked to Aaron ad thought for a moment, "thats sounds so wonderful... and knowing that you are doing it for me makes it even better... but do you think id be a good manaer? ive never really taken charge before... and where would we go?"
-
"Who knows?" Aaron shrugged as the first bell rang out. "Just do your job - which is ensuring others do theirs with maximum efficiency. Let's hit art."
Aaron sauntered down the corridors and waited by the door, leaning coolly against it. He made sure not to make his reactions to passing women so enthusiastic. After all...
The instructor opened the door and Aaron checked the corridors. The crowd was thick. Where was Ani?
-
Ani looked around, "A-Aaron?" He was swept away with the crowd, he held up his hand in hopes that Aaron would see him, "im... im here Aaron!"
-
Don was walking down the hallways, to his JROTC class. Sergeant Dallas had said there would be a uniform inspection today, so he wore his uniform, "Copland" emblazoned on his chest
He saw Ani calling out for someone, so he stopped, and said "what seems to be the problem, miss?"
-
Ani looked to the fur and blushed slightly, "u-umm... i-ive seemed to have lost my way.... this crowd is huge and well..." he looked up to Don, "im supposed to be in the same class as my b-boy... friend so i really dont want to miss it... we have art together..." he looked around hopin to see Aaron but the crowd blocked his view every direction he looked
"o-oh my name is Animus... but most people call me Ani... w-whats yours?"
-
Don nodded "boyfriend, huh? Well, if you need to, I can get you to the art class. The uniform seems to...persuade people to get out of the way." Even as they spoke, the crowd of various furs seemed to part as they passed. He looked to him with a friendly smile "sound good? The name's don, by the way."
-
Ani smiled sheepishly and nodded back, "n-nice o meet you... and i appreciate your help Don."
-
"Ain't nothing to it." Don said, taking him by the hand, and leading him towards the art class. Once they were there, he said "you're a cute one! Your boyfriend's lucky to have ya!"
-
Acon prowled around school with her camera in paw. She snapped a few pictures as she went along.
-
((for the plot!))
As don went to his class, he thought about ani... He was pretty sure ani might've been a guy... But he looked... He didn't know. He would find him later. Talk to him. Or her. He sighed, and began work on his math problems... He didn't really know what they were about, but it was something to do... Something to take his mind of ani.
-
Ani entered the classroom blushing, Don called him cute, "i-im not..." he whispered to himself as he found a sea next to Aaron, "im sorry... the crowd pulled me along..."
-
Acon snuck up behind Ani and took a picture of him. "Aw! So cute!" She squealed.
-
Ani jumped in his seat and gave a small whine as the flash blinded him for a second, "w-w-wha?!" he rubbed his eyes and looked to Acon
-
"You!" She chipped, pinching his cheek. "You're so cute!"
-
*he winced a bit as she pinched his cheek, although it didnt hurt, he blushed more, "i-im not cute." he covered his face with his paws and shielded himself using his tail.
-
"Yes you are! Too cute in fact!" She giggled.
-
Ani groaned then peaked an eye out to her, "d-do you work for the yearbook club?"
-
Acon nodded. "Yup! I'm also head of senior video!" She beamed with pride.
-
"then... do... do you think i could join yearbook?" ani moved his tail away
-
Acon shrugged. "Yeah, I don't see why not."
-
Ani smiled wide, "r-really? you mean it?" his tail wagged as he looked up at Acon with his golden yellow eyes, "thank you... thank you so much..." he looked to the floor and queitly said, "ive never really had anyone be nice to me before... except for Aaron and Don..."
(((LMAO I AM So Sorry Nai Nai XD how could i forget such a cute face :P )))
-
((And don! >:U))
-
Acon raised a brow. "I have no reason to be mean, so I won't."
-
Julie popped her head into the door of the art room and awkwardly stalked in, grabbing a bag she had left in the room, "miss Pennington." The teacher boomed and her ears folded back, "where are you going?" She looked up at him and blinked, pulling out a big black marker and dry erase board, "Nurse" she held it up to him and he waved her off. She pulled up her blue sleeve and wiped it off again, running out of the room.
-
"so can we be... f-friends?" Ani shyly looked up at Acon and fidgeted a bit in his seat , he noticed a girl leaving but quickly drew his attention back to Acon
-
Acon shrugged. "Sure!"
-
Julie put her bag over her shoulder and the strap rested in the middle of her chest as she went to go and mess around in the schools greenhouse.
-
Ani nodded and turned back to the teacher, he doodled a bit while listening, he kept trying to write his name in cursive but always kept making it look bad, he soon huffed and gave up then went back to drawing things around im, his drawing skills were lacking in all places but lookng and drawing what he saw, as long as he could see it, he could draw it exactly the same with every detail, like a photograph
-
Don sighed, checking his watch. He had two conflicting meetings, his JROTC, and yearbook. They were doing practice for a parade in JROTC Which he was good at, he was pretty sure he didn't need it. But Sgt. Dallas would yell at him... Mneh... He didn't really need to go there, and he could bear Dallas' yelling.
"Yearbook it is..." He muttered to himself.
-
*Ulfur was inside the greenhouse cultivating a certain "herbal" plant of his and ducked under a table when he heard someone walks towards it* Don't tell me its the teach, I swear if its the teach....
-
Ani hurriedly made his way to yearbook, his tail wagging and a small smile on his face, he was nearly there before he bumped into Don and yelped as he hit the floor, his books and papers sent flying, "i-im so sorry i didnt mean to p-plese dont hur- o-oh...it's you Don... w-what are you doing here?" he looked up to the fur and blushed lightly
-
Don leaned down, gathering up some of his books and papers "Yearbook." He said simply, somehow keeping his emotions in check "D-do you have it?"
-
Julie went and tended her part of the green house, sitting and tending her roses, bluebells and a few other colorful flowers. There was also a small bonsai tree she had been growing. Today was the day she would clip it for the first time.
-
*ulfur sat still and quiet under the table next to where some one was doing something to a plant*
-
She tilted her head as she picked up the clippers, "well little tree... today is your first hair cut.. and if it turns out bad well.." she sighed softly, "Im sorry." She began to clip softly, being very careful and gentle.
-
*ulfur began to slowly and quietly slide under tables towards the door*
-
She heard rustling and she jolted, accidentally cutting it somewhere that it didnt need to be cut. Her jaw clentched shut and she stood quickly, picking up her bag and running out.
-
*ulfur breathed a sigh of relief and stood back up* Oh man was that close. I wonder what they were doing in here...
-
She went into the hallway and began to kick a bench until her foot stung and she whimpered, slumping into the bench. She wasn't really a club person. Or a people person. She just kind of.. did what she wanted.
-
*Ulfur spied the cutters next to the bonsai tree* I bet they were trimming this little midget tree. *Ulfur went back to collecting his "harvest" but kept looking back to the cutters and midget tree every minute or so*
-
She sighed and looked at her digital watch, silently standing. She paced for about ten minutes before deciding to go back to the greenhouse. Who cares if there is another person there. She internally pep talked herself, her pulse was racing.
-
*Ulfur finished his "harvest" and walked over to the midget tree* Damn this conscious of mine... *ulfur took out his phone and began to watch a video on how to trim midget trees while holding the clippers* Hmm so they are called Bonzai trees...hmm
-
She opened the door softly and slid in very quietly. Seeing him with her clippers her eyes immediately widened as she screamed at him, "Don't touch it!"
-
*Ulfur jumped slightly and then relaxed after seeing who it was* Who are you to tell me what to do? You aint a teach, so you have no authority.
-
She covered her mouth, she didnt talk to people, but the shock of him about to touch her tree made her upset. She glared at him and walked over, not talking again. She jerked her clippers out of his hand and set down infront of her tree, beginning to prune it. Now pretending he wasn't there.
-
*ulfur shoved his phone in front of the tree* Hello? I was trying to help... *the screen showed a professional tutorial on how to trim bonsai trees*
-
She pushed it away and frowned, glaring at him.
-
What? No sprechen the english? No habla ingles? *Ulfur slid his phone back into his pocket*
-
She glared at him and sprung from her seat, throwing her fist into his jaw.
-
*Ulfur staggered and held his jaw* Well what are you then? Can you understand what I'm saying?
-
Ani gathered the rest of the papers and the last book, "i do... so i guess we do have a class together..." as he held his paw on the book he noticed his paw was covering Don's, he gulped and slowly pulled his paw along with the book away, "s-so are you part of the J... ummm JOTB... or wait no..." he kept trying to repeat it correctly to himself
-
She nodded and crossed her arms, looking away
-
*Ulfur snapped his fingers* Hey I'm over here. If you can understand me, why don't you at least say something like...how about your name?
-
"J-Jrotc..." Don said, blushing slightly as ani's paw touched his own.
He cleared his throat and said "supposed to be a military thing."
-
She angrilly slapped his hand, getting her dry erase board out.
-
"i see... so are you going to join the military? a-after high school i mean.." he looked to the floor and twiddled his fingers as he held the books
-
"Well, yes, I plan to." He looked to him, still blushing slightly "gonna be an engineer officer! Just like my pops!"
-
Ani giggled a bit, "thatsreally good... my dad was an engineer actually... not an officer... but..." he teared up a bit, "oh gosh im sorry... it's still hard to think about my parents sometimes..."
-
"Yeah... I'm sorry, it was my fault." He looked to him with a smile, placing a hand on his shoulder "glad to see we've got a class together, friend!"
-
Finally some communication. *Ulfur stood with crossed arms*
-
She wrote on it quietly, "My name is Julie, happy? Now go away."
-
*Dubaku walked into class, late as usual, holding a Five Guys Burgers and Fries bag in one hand, and a drink in the other, the teacher looks at him* "You're late."
Sue me. *Dubaku said as he walked to his seat*
-
*Ulfur looked at the board and smiled* Well pleasure to meet you too julie. *Ulfur left the greenhouse and sat outside the door waiting for julie to come out*
-
She huffed and sat down; fixing her tree quietly. When she finished she watered her plants and then got up and left the greenhouse quietly.
-
*Ulfur got up and walked beside her* Hey hey so the mysterious girl with a love for bonsai trees re-emerges. Still not gonna talk to me?
-
She crossed her arms and turned her head away, quickening her pace.
-
*Ulfur's long legs easily kept pace with julie* Come on can't be quiet forever...
-
She jerked out his phone from his pocket and typed in it, "Yes, I can, and I will."
-
Hey nice hands jewels. And nope nopity nope nope. Im sure I can get you to talk somehow.
-
She rolled her eyes and texted herself and put his phone back in his pocket.
-
*Ulfur thought to himself, eh ill see what she did later.* Well see ya round jewels, I have a friend to go see. *Ulfur pivoted and went back the way they came*
-
She sighed in relief and went to history class.
-
*Ulfur had returned to the greenhouse and pulled up a folding chair under some of the taller plants* I wonder what jewels did on my phone. *Ulfur pulled out his phone to check*
-
She had put her number in the phone and texted her own phone so she had his number.
-
humph well I guess this must be jewels phone. Heheh I thinks I gots an idea forming. *Ulfur walked up to the bonsai tree and took a selfie with it* I bet she is gonna come running. *Ulfur sent the pic to her with the caption: "Eyy jewels I got myself a friend"*
-
She opened the text and her eye twitched slightly, she quickly wrote on her board, "bathroom" to the teacher and ran out, running toward the greenhouse. "I'll kill you." Is what she responded. She busted into the greenhouse doors.
-
*Julie busted in on ulfur doing the carlton with some metal music playing, and the tree sat untouched in the same spot as it had been* Just me and this midget tree all alone till a certain jewels came to break up the party, eh? *Ulfur turned off the music and stopped dancing*
-
*Dubaku got up and walked to his Lambo, he saw someone bust into the greenhouse* Dayum, that bish crazy for trees
-
She huffed angrilly and walked over to him, batting his chest with her closed fists.
-
Ani smiled again and nodded to Don, his tail wagged and brushed against Don a bit, "lets go!"
-
Ahhh! *Ulfur reached out and hugged julie, effectively stopping her punches*
-
Don smiled, walking along with Ani to yearbook. Today, they were going to do pictures. He was assigned to take pictures in the greenhouse, and he hoped that Ani could come with him.
-
*Dubaku starts laughing at the stuff going on in the greenhouse, he then sticks in through the open doorway* Yo, get a room you two.
-
She squirmed angrilly in his arms and then huffed at the uselessness of her struggle.
-
Are you done jewels? If you are, I'll let you go...
-
Today not many things needed to be done in yearbook. They decided to let Ani tag along with Don and help out with pictures, Ai looked to Don and gave a slight smile as he made his way to Don, "s-so shall we go?"
-
*Dubaku recognized the guy holding Juliet* Yo, you that drug crazed dude that tried to stab me.
-
"Sure!" Don said with a bright smile "let's get going and get some trees!" He grabbed up his camera, an expensive thing that was his father's.
-
Ani used a school provided camera, he now regretted buying all the cosplay without thinking. But then again he never thought he would be in yearbook. he walked along the path to the greenhouse taking pictures of the surrounding foliage
-
Aaron apparently materialised beside the two and gave them both his usual imperious stare.
"Animus...I see you've made a friend." Aaron said with considerable suspicion. He had of course observed the way that Acon and this Don had interacted with Ani and was fairly certain that they were kind to him, but for surety's sake he needed to see how both parties reacted around him.
"So who is this?" Aaron asked politely enough, flicking an ear as a fly buzzed past it.
-
She tried to tug away angrilly, pouting.
-
Fine you know what Ill text you sometime later eh? *Ulfur disappeared out the back door and into the woods*
-
She sat with her flowers quietly, laying her head down and falling asleep.
-
Animus looked to Aaron and walked close to his side, "this is Don... he helped me get to art when i was swept away by the crowd. he is in JROTC i think it is called. but Aaron... i didnt know you were in yearbook. you arent skipping class are you?" he said with worry
-
*Dubaku walks up to Julie* Y'know that dude's unstable, right?... He legit stabbed me. Just thought I should put that out there... Imma just, uh... go. *he gets into his Lambo and drives off*
-
"Class...to be honest, I don't feel as though I'm learning anything. And besides...since I was disowned I'm feeling sick to my stomach. It's easier to check on you." Aaron turned to Don.
"Thanks for looking after him. He seems to find trouble no matter where he looks."
-
*after dubaku drove off, ulfur came back into the greenhouse to find jewels asleep.* D'aww thats so cute. *Ulfur sat outside the greenhouse which he figured was going a be a place he was often*
-
"I... I dont get into that much trouble really do i?" he looked to Aaron, Ani looked down to Aarons paw but quickly looked away to the ground
-would he be okay with... with holding paws?- he thought to himself
"e-either way thank you very much Don i appreciate it!"
-
She woke up later on and rubbed her eyes with a light squeak, meant to be a yawn.
-
*Ulfur popped his muzzle inside the door to the greehouse*Ya okay in there jewels?
-
(Cutest yawn ever)
-
She threw a pen at him and yipped.
-
Hey! People who live in glass houses shouldnt throw things *Ulfur teased and then took his muzzle back out of the door*
-
She huffed angrilly.
-
*Ulfur stuck his muzzle back inside* At least I wasnt a creep and stayed in there while you slept!
-
"N-no, you stay here Ani...animus! You've made some friends, so enjoy their company. I'm just going to...I got school stuff to take care of." Aaron slipped silently away.
-
Ani frowned a bit, "A-Aaron? wait..." he saw Aaron slip away and lowered his ears, "did he notice me looking?" he whispered to himself he looked back down to the ground saddened
-
Aaron leaned on the wall and panted a little. He was relieved...that Don would have made a dangerous adversary should he have been
A threat to Ani. But no...Ani was showing him
That not every person in the world was intrinsically evil. Why...was this so hard to accept though?
-
(((Brb ten minutes, getting stuff for mama-dog IRL - Enigir)))
-
Then a small bell sounded, the white feline stood next to Aaron, "my my arent you the coward" he said with a smirk, his tone still as mocking as before
-
"YOU!" Aaron pinned Noah to the opposite wall and growled in his face.
"What are you!?" Aaron snapped, his tails splayed.
-
Noah gave a soft laugh, "hey hey easy foxy boy. i thought little Ani told you, im his guardian angel" he giggled, he kneed Aaron in the thigh then took a foot and hooked Aaron's ankle making him lose his balance, Noah slipped away and gave a sly grin, "why so angry anyways hm?"
-
"Tch!" Aaron stood and stared Noah down. His combat abilities were difficult to predict and some of the observations Aaron made changed seemingly at random. Noah was not safe to challenge.
"Angels do not exist. Yet I cannot tell what you are - the closest thing I know to you is by no means similar to you in any way. What I do not understand makes me uneasy, and things making be uneasy are to be eliminated. So tell me what you truly are and what your connection to my chosen partner is or so help me a storm will descend upon you!" Aaron growled more loudly at Noah.
-
Noah smiled and raised a brow, "my my.... alright then... but... you must do one thing for me in return for my information! but you must also ask nicely too..." he looked to Aaron with a smirk
-
"Name it..." Aaron sighed. "...please." He stood back and gave Noah an expectant stare. Why had that creepy dog not even batted an eyelid at Aaron's threat? Surely he knew what hells a demon fox family could deliver?
-
Noah let out a small squeal of delight as his cat like tail wiggled excitedly, "okay oka that was perfect ill spill... but just to let you know... there are certain things i cant share... at least not yet... please dont take this the wrong way but... i dont trust you... in fact i find you to be a threat to my little Animus... I dont know if this relationship you hold with him has an ulterior motive. so the one thing i want from you is to try and act like a couple with the little dear." he approached aaron closely and circled him slowly looking him up and down, "got it?"
-
Aaron's pupils shrank to pinpricks as he backhanded Noah as hard as he could, before he even knew what he was doing.
"How DARE you underestimate my feelings for that wolf you son of a b**ch!" Aaron thundered. He narrowed his eyes.
"This had better be good."
-
he caught Aaron's wrist and squeezed it with a vice-like strength, "watch yourself you mess with the joker you get tricked" he laughed then let go of Aaron's wrist, "so let me begin by saying that ive known the Shiro family for most of my life and let me tell you... Animus has got a pretty interesting lineage. But for now ill leave you with this, I was asked personally by Animus' mother to watch over him. If harm comes to the child then i am to intervene without him knowing i exist... so if you think i shouldve done something while he lived in the cafe you are going to need to save it loud mouth..." his tone seemed light yet he talked of such serious things
-
"And you're only in it for the physical department of harm, you freak!? You can't handle him hurting inside!? What are you? Some hired bodyguard? Fat lot if good you are, the way he gets beaten up all the time! I hate to say it, batman movie dropout, but you're a useless hack! And if you mess with Ani and I any more you're going to die!" Aaron finished hating on Noah and turned to leave.
"Got anything useful to shoot after me before I leave?" Aaron snapped.
-
Noah smiled and turned his back to Aaron, "oh nothing else very serious really, just that Ani has a heart condition.. over exertion and such could cause him to go into an asthma like fit... and youhave no idea about me... you can forget about me not interfering, seems like one of my dea family members are involved with your family anyways... well goodbye Aaron Blade... for now... hehe" he disappeared into the shadows
-
"Huh. Great."
...
Later that day - when school was over - Aaron approached animus.
"Hey. How're you feeling after today?" He asked with a smile.
-
Ani had his head down until he heard Aaron, he snapped up and smiiled, "it... it was good! i mean im feeling good. what about you?"
-
"To be honest, utterly nonplussed. But never you mind that for right now. What do you feel like doing with the rest of the afternoon?" Aaron gazed out of the window. This Noah was another challenge. The question was: need he be faced down...or not? And did Aaron notify Animus of his existence or not?
-
Animus looked to Aaron's paw and gulped as he slowly inched his paw closer to the fox's, "u-ummm well... we could go to karaoke... or wait what about the cafe? oh right we still dont have until the day after tomorrow... well we could go to my... my most favorite shop in the city... if youd like to see..." he was nanometers from Aaron's paw
-
"We can go to this store of yours if you like." Aaron said distractedly. "Animus? I'd like to know everything about your lineage. Or perhaps a quid pro quo if you prefer."
-
Animus looked to Aaron and shook his head, "i-im sorry but my parents never told me anything about our family.... they said that we should just focus on our lives rather than theirs..." his pinkie paw touched against Aaron's paw, Animus blushed
-
"Oh, for Christ's sake..." Aaron muttered. He blinked and looked down at Ani's paw. He rolled his eyes and held it in his own. "Well do you remember any names of friends if your parents?"
-
Animus was taken by surprise for a moment then smiled softly as he lightly squeezed Aaron's paw, he interlaced his fingers with his partner's, he then snapped out of his dreamy state then tried to focus, "u-ummm no... i mean we had mutual friends but no one worth mentioning really"
-
"So shoot me a name." Aaron suggested. "And get your stuff and let's go. This place sucks for recreational time wastage."
-
Don sighed, in his own little world right now. He was listening to some Ukrainian song from a game he liked. He saw animus holding hands, an found himself scowling. He shook his head, stealing a glance at Animus as he passed.
-
Animus looked back to Don as aaron dragged him away, Animus frowned a bit as he saw Don with a somewhat troubled expression, he quickly turned back and tried not to stumble over himself as they left, "u-ummm... well... i guess if there was anyone it would be the Macabres on 28th street"
-
She crossed her arms and looked away.
-
"So who's your friend?" Aaron asked skeptically as the two walked paw in paw. He glanced up at the sky. The snow was rolling in. At this rate things might get unpleasant.
"I have a slight confession to make, Animus." Aaron said awkwardly.
-
Animus looked up to Aaron, "Don is just a friend i me. what's wrong?" he lightly squeezed Aaron's paw then to the falling snow before him
-
"I...bought into a fad, recently. Despite my telling you how little I care for these fleeting things on the bus." Aaron sighed and produced his iPod. He opened an app and showed it to Animus.
Five...
Nights...
At...
Freddys...
"I'm hopelessly addicted." Aaron grumbled with a smile.
-
Animus looked at the iPod and giggled, "hun let's get one thing straight, imma horror fanatic... and I dont get scared of todays types of horrors, they get so predictable. so hows about we hook up the stream net and watch this on the tv tonight hm?" Animus sounded a bit confident in what he said.
-
Don sighed, climbing into his car and driving himself home. When he got home, he sat at his computer and played Some supposedly hyper realistic ww2 shooter for a bit.
-
Fredric was sat on the couch at home, he sighed, loneliness consuming him due to the fact that he hadn't seen Tom in a while. He stood and walked into kitchen, planning on making himself something, stopping and blushing when he saw the kitchen counter. Turning back around, he smiled a little and sat down on the same couch he was on previously.
-
Thomas sighed, approaching Fredric's house with a sigh, he knocked on the door, standing there with his hands folded behind his back.
-
Fredric heard someone knock on the door and stood up, he straitened his hair and walked to said door, reluctantly opening it. "yes yes... what is it?" a smile grew wide across his face as he saw Tom. "T-Tom?"
-
Thomas smiled, though grief could clearly be seen on his face. He brought Fredric into a tight hug "my...my parents found out. They don't like it..."
-
Fredric returned the hug and buried his head in Tom's shoulder. "I thought you had left me..."
-
"Yeah...yeah." He gave another sigh "I told them it was to get myself out of trouble. Told them it was bullsh*t." He sighed deeply "but...it's not."
-
Fredric kissed Tom deeply. "I missed you..." He sighed. "Umm... D-do you want to... live with me?"
-
Thomas sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. Too many options, all of them have some sort of bad consequence. If he left his parents, there would be legal complications, no doubt. And he might even be forced to go back to them. If he stayed, he wouldn't be able to be with Fredric "I... Don't know. Need time to think."
-
Fredric nodded. "O-okay... I love you." He smiled and hugged Tom tighter.
-
Thomas sighed, mentally recalling the number for child protective services "I love you too..."
-
"Huh? Watch what? And what was this macabre you were talking about?" Aaron asked, tripping temporarily out.
-
Ani giggled, "okay watch Five Nights At Freddy's and my parents had some friends with the last name of Macabre on 28th street
-
"Heh...right...right, Freddy..." Aaron sank into deep thought. He fell silent as he walked.
-
"Yeah the Macabres were the closest to my parents... i guess if youd consider it being close... but the dad has a degenerative disease and their son takes care of him occasionally, he is really cool and fun when he was there.... he was a goofy cat" he giggled
-
"Can you remember his first name at all?" Aaron pried. He turned in to their apartment and keyed the door. He slid quietly up the stairs and keyed the room door. He held it open for Animus and stated into space.
-
"Nathan Macabre... i think tha was the son's name..." he entered into the apartment and sat on the couch then got out his homework and text books, along with a few occult books to read after he finished
-
"You have homework? Heh." Aaron flashed his books. "I hide in the library every lunchtime and what do you know, never any homework. Except on Thursdays when my final lesson is a homework guarantee. That aside all I have are running projects or classes that provide until the very last session." Aaron finished flaunting his time management and gazed at Ani thoughtfully.
"Want help with that?"
-
"why? im already done... but thanks" he placed his notebook on the table then picked up an occult book
-
"Right." Aaron immersed himself into the world of his phone for a good while.
"Whatcha reading about?" He asked after twenty minutes.
-
"hm? oh... magic symbols and rituals... really interesting, see here the symbol for tree and here is the symbol for dye and here is the symbol for greed, if performed right it says you can conjure money... oh and this one is my favorite symbol which means Time!" Ani had gone to Aaron and sat on the armrest of the chair Aaron sat in. he pointed out the symbols.
-
"Money doesn't grow on trees, Ani. Or magic circles." Aaron grinned. He made to throw his arm around Animus' shoulders a few times but wasn't quite comfortable enough to go through with it. He checked his phone again. He smiled.
-
Animus giggled and rolled his eyes at Aaron, he then smiled softly noticing Aaron's attempt, -take your time im not going anywhere- he thought
He saw Aaron smile and tilted his head, "watcha so happy about?"
-
"Oh, just...something I'm planning." Aaron smiled and leaned into his seat a little. He wondered about the FNAF gameplay - he hoped he wasn't in the firing line...
-
Ani leaaned over a bit to try and get a better look but ended sliding off of the armrest and into Aaon's lap, Animus blushed brightly
-
"No, you will not foil my plans couch slider! World domination is mine!" Aaron half laughed as he turned his phone off.
"But seriously chill out."
-
Animus gulped and nodded, he curled his tail in front of him and started knit picking at it, "s-so whats for dinner? and world domination?"
-
Acon walked into school stretching her long arms over her head. She held her camera tight in her paws..
-
Jolly Walked in to school being the New fur he looked around and pulled his phone out of his pocket posted up on a close wall staring intently at his phone
-
Ray limped into school, and whistled quietly. He braced himself, and stood on one leg, adjusting the fit of his prosthetic leg. Comically, if one was to look, Ray would be striking a Karate Kid-esque pose.
-
Jolly looked over at ray whom had just walked in and quickly with his phone took a picture and chuckled silently as his fingers began to move fast paced across the screen and tapping button so Pop's and Clicks could be heard
-
Ray removed his prosthetic, and smiled at the newcomer, waving his leg about comically. "Y'know, some say it's rude to take pictures with others, and not ask."
-
Jolly shook his head and used his leg to push up off the and walk towards the guy waving his Prosthetic leg about and extended his paw "The Names Jolly, Go ahead and laugh now if you insist, or wait until i leave, The choice is yours" Jolly Said putting his phone in his pocket
-
Ray smiled, and lowered the prosthetic to Jolly, as if he was extending his own paw. "People call me Ray."
-
Jolly looked up and placed his paw on the Prosthetic and shook it gently and smiled slightly "Ummm....Defiantly can't say I've done that before" He chuckles lightly
-
Ray smiled. "I hope so."
-
Jolly Looked confused "So, What class do you have right now, Because i have no clue where im going" He looked up and down the hall and smiled
-
Ray put his leg back on. "Where's your schedule?"
-
Jolly Pulled his Schedule out as a neatly folded square and unfolded it "Right here" He looks at it and hands it to Ray
-
Ray unfolded it, and smiled. "Hey! You've got first class with me!"
-
Jolly jumped a bit in surprise "Really?!"
-
*Dubaku sulked through the entrance and let out a pained groan* Ugh, man, why's it gotta be Monday? Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. *his friend Colin walks by him* Yo, bruh... wanna go cliff jumpin with me? *he asks jokingly*
-
Ray nodded. "Yeah, really. We'd best get going." He started towards class.
-
Jolly Jumps following Ray "So how is this school....social wise" he said looking down at their feet as they walked
-
Ray shrugged. "You name it, we've got it."
-
Jolly Smiled "So golf is an option i'm guessing?" he started to vibrate a little with excitement
-
Ray shrugged. "I think so. I've been busy, so I haven't looked."
-
Jolly Sighed "You are a man of few words and even fewer action sometimes" He chuckled
-
Ray chuckled. "You should catch me on a talkative day, friend. I'll yap your ear right off your head."
-
Jolly Smiled "Depending on time and who you are i can do that too" He laughed lightly still walking
-
Ray smiled, and stopped at a door. "Here, first period."
-
Jolly Smiled and peered into the room "Seems empty right?" He looks and coughed

Ani made his way to his locker then ventured into the guys locker room. He quietly hummed to himself and changed into a workout outfit, short shorts and a tight shirt that showed off his belly, he just finished slipping his shoes on when he began coughing madly, his chest tightened and ached then everything subsided, Ani was on all fours panting, "w-wh? " he sniffled and shook his head, "im sure it was just a small episode... dont worry about it.." he said to himself. A shadow receded behind the lckers, a white cat tail was then seen slipping out the door
-
*he sits in the locker room also*
-
Aaron had silenced the whole room, yet again.
Combat Classes were commonplace these days and the close combat variant was what the fox had chosen. His blunt wooden sword dripped as a small patch of blood had been drawn from his opponent's arm - who sat in the ground aching and afraid.
Aaron thought briefly of Solrein Cross. Thanks to that jerk Aaron knew the technique for cutting with blunt objects as thought they were sharp. In truth the whole class was a bludge to him; easy grades. In terms of close combat he'd some the hard yards.
-
*zaida was silent and sat down on the p.e field being scolded at from the coach*
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
*He looks at his skinny frame as his raptor tail wags idly*
-
Coach: "Zaida! You were all over the place! I don't even know what the hell I was lookin at!"
-
zaida crossed her arms and huffed* "so I can do whatever how about you get a real job instead of watching teens run laps all day..." *she hissed*
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
Not much ent on in his gym class, Ani usually just sat and read his book, but occasionally he played a little practice tennis and swam when he could, the school bell rang and Ani smiled, it was art class next, he couldnt stop thinking about Aaron.
-
Coach: "maybe you would get a little faster, I could have a real job!" He sigh. "Run it again."
-
"I told you I can't run I have a medical problem!! It hurts my legs when I do!!" *she roared in his face* "and you can't force me to do anything!!"
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
Coach: he scoffed. "Doll, so many kids give me that, it's unreal." He writes Zaida a pass. "Looking forward to seeing you in detention... again."
-
*she rips the detention slip from his hands and begins to walk the track snarling*
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
Aaron sighed and loosened his shoulders as he shuffled to art. He was grateful for the chance to snooze after all that fighting. The instructor had him cut through the whole class to test his endurance. And if course whilst Aaron's efficiency made him seem unnaturally suited to close combat he still had vey normal limits. His body was on fire, he was panting but it wasn't enough. The art room was air conditioned though, thank god.
Aaron stopped at a drink tap and lapped at the cool water. He stopped to pant heavily a few times but was feeling marginally better by the time he was in the art room. It was, however, a very small margin. He scored a seat next to Ani and promptly opened a sketchbook and lay down in front of it, a pencil in hand.
-
*he walks out sighing looking at zaida*"so hot..."
-
*Dubaku walks onto the track in his laX shorts, carrying his lacrosse stick* Ah, my favorite time of the day, besides lunch. And I still manage to be late. *he laughs*
-
"Yo dubaku!"*he smiles and starts running to him*"Hows it going homie?"
-
*she huffed as she walks* "detention over my leg... I have a medical problem and can't run and I get detention... What an Ass.."
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
*Dubaku sees Jake run over to him* Oh, yo what it is, my dude, what it is. *he gives him a fist bump*
-
"Yeah!"*he smiles as his tail drags behind him*"So your doing lacrosse?"
-
Yea, we ain't doin' nothin specific, just whatever sport. *he twirls his stick* So, figured I'd bring my stick because the school issued ones suck royally
-
*zaida arrived with the other girls in her class and lined up for the 1 mile dash. She lied about her leg but wanted to save her energy since she was so competitive. They all got in their running stance and the coach yelled* "hey boys please make room the girls here need to run just go on row 8..."
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
Yea, got it, I'm not doin' the run, though. Hey, where do ya keep the lacrosse balls?

-
*the buck yelled at them to go faster* "come on show me all you got!!!"
*zaida finished her first lap but a male cheetah kept his pace behind her*
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
*he sprints head first passing a few more reptiles and going behind the cheetah*
-
*zaida smiled looking back and then kept running in the same pace for some reason as well as the cheetah. The cheetah huffed heavily keeping his head forward*
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
*he goes next to the cheetah*"Huff huff! h-h-hey zaida!"
-
*as they ran a few more laps zaida heard she was being called and glanced back but continued to run looking forward to not lose focus* "what the... The hell do.. You want!! Kinda busy!" *the cheetah huffed heavier*
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
*He tripds before being trampled by the crowd*"AHHH!! MY ARM!!!!!"
-
*zaida continued to run but saw him fall and felt horrible then turned around jogging over to him and helping him up as the cheetah came in first*

*The bone is popped from his arm as he whimpers in pain*
-
*zaida clenched her teeth seeing his arm* "oh sh*t.." *she was careful with his arm and held it to his chest* "ok come on let's get you to the nurse..."
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
*He moans in pain as tears fall from his eyes*
-
"Shhh it's alright..." *she walks with him until arriving at the nurse* "he broke his arm it's pretty bad"
*the female hawk gasps* "oh... Oh no set him down.." *zaida sets him on the chair*
Nurse:"ok hun what's your mom or dads number?"
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
"808-987-7654"*he shakes in pain*
-
*she calls* "your son jake.. He broke his arm on the track and may need to go to the hospital..." *she says worriedly and nods answering back* "they'll be here soon you just relax and the ambulance are coming..."
*zaida sat on another chair watching everything*
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
"it..it hurts..."
-
"Yes I know honey but at this school we don't have anything for arms like this your need surgery" *she whimpered worriedly* "im going outside to wait for the ambulance zaida stay here if anything happens please tell me..."
*zaida nods as she ran off*
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
"Ow..."*He looks at zaida a bit in pain but smiling weakly*
-
*she messed with her hand looking at his arm and back to him* "...ouch..."

-
*Dubaku joined the group of fellow lax bros and started shooting with them*
-
*she messed with her hand looking at his arm and back to him* "...ouch..."

*He looks into her eyes,his green eyes glowing faintly*
-
*she smiled* "I hope you feel better..." *two doctors walk in* "jake... Oh bud that's gotta hurt come on.."

-
*he gets up waving her off*
-
*she waved back before leaving and back to p.e*

*few hours later*
-
Ani sat at the front of the school and waited on Aaron, "oh i hope nothing went wrong..." he coughed a bit
-
(((Weren't we both in art class? - Gir)))
Aaron panted sleepily with his eyes shut on the art room desk as the art teacher animatedly gibbered on about existentialism and occasionally touched base with reality by mentioning an artist's name.
Thank his free creativity was more or less encouraged in that class.
The teacher stopped, and Aaron opened his eyes in time to see his blank sketch pad fly away. The teacher inspected it with a cruel eye.
"It's minimalist." Aaron said with half if his face implanted on the table.
"Get out of my class." The teacher sighed.
"Oh come on I just came outta combat, I'm exhausted. What about the art of war huh?"
"Unless you are drawing it, mister...'Blade' - ,"
"Aaron."
"Then I do not care." Aaron stared up at the teacher. The teacher stared back down at him.
"Gimme that." Aaron grumbled tiredly, snatching away his pad and putting pencil to paper. He didn't focus on what he was drawing as he gazed at the paper without seeing what he was doing.
-
((sorry... disregard my last post))Ani looked to Aaron concerned and placed a paw on his arm, "are you okay? well i guess you arent but... can i do anything to help?" he slid his paw down to Aaron's and held it gently
-
"Paracetamol and either an icy cold coffee or a soft warm bed, either one devoid of ink-sniffing crazies." Aaron mumbled as he continued to draw, his head bobbing in the way only tired students damned to stay awake bobbed their heads. He blinked and picked out another pencil, sharpened it and handed it to animus.
"A rush of adrenaline might help. Hold this pencil like a dagger and at a random time without warning me stab me in the arm or someplace. Not the hand though. And before you even start with the 'not being able to hurt me' thing, pretend it's medicinal. And be discreet about it or you'll get in trouble."
Aaron stopped and blinked, his head sinking like a blimp with a hole in it. He looked at the paper and scowled. He had drawn an incredibly imposing figure indeed. Solrein.
"Never mind!" Aaron growled suddenly, ripping out the page and tearing it up into thousands of tiny squares. He took back the pencil and angrily chewed on it. Half fell suddenly out if his mouth - in his anger he had bitten it in two.
-
Ani was strtled a bit by Aaron's uproar, it caused his seat to tilt back, he tried to grip to something but failed, he landed to the floor with a loud thud, the adrenaline pumped through him his body strained, the tight feeling in his chest started again, his vision was blacking out, he was halfway unconscious, "a-aaron..." he curled up in agony as his chest began to ache again. He passed out as his breathing became quick and laboured.
-
"Yo, teach! Wolf down!" Aaron exclaimed upon seeing animus collapse. He vaulted over the desks and somersaulted over the rest of the class. He landed badly and collapsed for a few seconds before lurching over to the campus phone and dialling the nurse's office. Someone was coming before he could be reprimanded and kicked off the phone.
-
*zaida was at first lunch but sadly in detention from her p.e. She laid on the bench looking at the bright blue sky and yawned* "another detention..." *she said in a bored voice while tapping her foot hoping the one would pass by*
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
"Damn, I'm on my way, gotcha." Don rushed out of the school nurse's office, adjusting his black, army beret (which he always wore). He had completed all of the math classes he needed (he was two years ahead), o he had a free period. So, he decided he might as well get in some community service hours helping the nurse. So, he sat in the nurse's office most of the period playing on his phone.
Don copland was in there quickly, Huffing as he barged into the art classroom.
"Oh..." he said when he spotted ani.
But he quickly got over that, rushing to his side, and helping him up.
-
"Allow me to help," Aaron said quietly from beside Don. His tails were waving creepily and his pupils were mad little dots in the white void of his eyes. But he was all there.
-
Ani cried out loudly and cutched at his chest, his breahing almost faint, "h-hurts!"
Tears rushed down his face and his whole body trembled in agony.
Noah burst into the room without saying a word and scooped Ani up. He looked back at Aaron and Don with a feral and viscious look on his face, "im going to have a talk with you both once he gets to the hospital...." he dashed out of the school and mde his way to the nearest hospital he coul find, Ani was put in a room and monitored. An IV in his arm, he slept with a pained look on his face.
-
"sh!t man..." don goes, raising his arms and backing away from Noah's glare, shaking his tail uneasily as Aaron stared at him as well "sorry."
After he was gone, Don shook his head, turning to Aaron " just trying to help, man... no need to get all like...that"he waved his hands in abroad gesture at him, a nervous smile on his face
-
"Noah!" Aaron hissed. He was taking Ani someplace but Aaron had to be sure - he dashed out of the room leaving a bewildered art class behind.
The fox ran on all fours, somehow gracefully as if he were a feral fox. He stopped by the park to catch his breath.
(((Don't get Aaron wrong, Nai-nai, he was just scared for his partner - Gir)))
-
Noah sat outside of Ani's hospital room and bobbed his leg up and down impatiently, his fur dried under his eyes a bit, he was lost in thought.
-
((fuq mang... we posted at the same-ish time! XP and he's a normal guy, he gets kiiinda scared by you.))
"I'm gonna... go... I guess..." he let out a nervous chuckle, quickly running out of the classroom, and to the hospital. He was technically on a free period, which meant he techinically wasn't skipping school. So, he jumped into his car, an old, beat up muscle car, and sped on over to the hospital as fast as he could.
-
Ani, struggled to open his eyes and glanced around the room, -im... in the hospital again. did i pass out?- his chest still ached a bit. He slowly let sleep overtake him once again.
Noah threw his fist against the wall, "where are they?" he said gritting his teeth
-
"He's here. Good." Aaron said, walking up to Noah.
"What the hell was that!? Why did he just drop like that?"
-
Don grunted, practically bursting through the hospital doors "H-hey..." he said, again nervously. Aaron just creeped the hell out of him. He stood in the corner of the room, shying away from Aaron, but visible to ani.
-
Noah spotted Aaron and growled, he bound at him and lunged forward foot first, he made contact with Aaron's chest and made him fall back, Noah stood on his chest and then slowly lowered down so they were face-to-face, "what" he pucnhed him, "the hell" he threw another punch, "kind of mate are you?!" he balled his fists together and drove it down straght at Aaron's face, "i already told you you piece of trash Ani has a heart condition!!!!" his punches were almost inhuman in strength. He gripped Aaron by the collar of his shirt, "wintetr and cold dont cooperate with him and on top of all the stress youve put him through is no wonder that he ended up like this!" he roared loudly and head butt Aaron "and i come in to see you fighting with some other guy? Ani was right there in agony while you just went and had a petty little fit! you arent worthy to be his mate if you cant even be concerned about him in a situation like that!" he panted heaily from using all his energy and scoot back against the nearby wall, "you get one more chance Blade... after that ill see to it that you cant see Ani again..."
-
"I was...s-scared for him..." Aaron gurgled. He knew he was already gone - if anyone tried to kill him he was a dead fox. He was actually quite confused - and it wasn't the beating. What fight? He hadn't conflicted with anyone but the teacher in art! Or...was Noah annoyed because Aaron took combat class? His head was reeling.
"Let me see him~!" Aaron gurgled on the floor. He was no longer able to move seven if his tails. His left arm was also going numb for some stupid reason.
"Get off...me..." He huffed at Noah.
-
Don stoo back, watching the fight. He used the fight to approach ani. "hey..." he said, hoping his fur would hide his blush "How're you feeling?"
-
Noah shook in anger, "i mean when that0 don guy went to help him you were more concerned about getting Don away rather than helpin Ani!!!! you are so..." he flopped on to the floor and rested against a wall, "and no... no way am i letting you see him right now..."
-
"You...you..." Aaron smiled and chuckled even though it hurt to do so.
"You're blind...and stupid? I didn't expect those two traits to be present in you, Noah. I was offering assistance. Even if I look wild-eyed...my composure is...is...um...good. Yeah...uh...f**k, you really...really...um...did a number on me. Yeah. Um..." Aaron was losing it, fast. His vision was clouding up stupidly quickly.
"Helping...him..." Were his last words in the light.
-
Noah sighed and went down to the cafeteria, he brought a rather lrge cup of ice water and splashed it at Aaron, "wake up.." he spat
-
Aaron gasped and shrieked. Oddly, no nurses had showed up. Then again, the outside world tended to become irrelevant whenever Joanne was around too so go figure. Aaron tried to stand, falling over every time he tried. He wasn't in control of anything any more - he was starting to feel afraid. He pushed those feelings down as he finally got to his feet. He glared blearily at Noah.
"He's got my old clothes...what more does he need...?"
-
Don peeked his head out of the door "uh... yeah... You gave him quite the beating... and you were just trying to help... i mean... he is worth it, heh..." he screwed up his face a moment, realizing what he just said he blushed heavily, looking away "I'll be...uh... going... I guess. bye.." He stood, walking away from the bright, green sign that said exit.
-
"Hey...be his friend...but I love him...so back of in that department, kay? Sides...if yu get too tangled with Ani you have to deal with THIS idiot..." Aaron huffed to Don as he leaned heavily on the wall.
"Please...I love him..."
He added.
-
Noah looked to Don, "no come back... dont be shy now..." he smiled a bit and beckoned Don back, he then turned to Aaron, "what more does he-? are you even listening to yourself!?" he growled, "he needs someone to protect him and love him and be by his side! he needs a rock! he needs someone to be strong for him! that little wolf has been through a lot... and didnt frown and went dark like you... he has stood against way more than you have ever fought through..." he helped Aaron stand and supported him, "what did you think being with Ani meant? he is just like any other girl you would date Aaron... he is basically a girl in a guys body... so start treating him like a princess.."
-
"I don't..." He sighed, adjusting his beret, and walking back towards Noah. He stared at aaron, obviously afraid of him "hey... he said, with a sigh "Sorry about that..." he grunted, smiling nervously "yeah... Uh... sorry."
-
"If you love him so much, why don't YOU date him!?" Aaron snapped at Noah, that effort alone messing with his vision. "Who the f**k do you think you are!?"
-
Don sighed "He learned his lesson, I think... Now let him be with his mate, would ya?" It took him a bit of (barely noticeable) effort to say it, but he said "he really loves him..."
-
Naoh gave Aaron a long and hard glare, "Don... go in there with Ani... i need to speak with Aaron alone..."
-
Aaron huffed tiredly and glared at Noah. He didn't have much to say just then.
-
Noah dragged Aaron to a waiting room down the hall and set him down, "first offf... it should be ME asking you that... secondly... i cant... i promised someone i wouldnt interfere... only protect... trust me id have Ani marry me if i could..." he looked away with a slight pained expression. "Listen... i know you hate me... and i dont like you... but can we please stop acting like damn forsaken brats and focus on whats important?" he looked At Aaron seriously and huffed
-
Don sighed, and nodded "okay." He sighed a moment, his hands in his pants pockets. He paced around a moment, gathering up courage " look... ani... I like ya... Okay? I uh... just wanna put that out there. but... You've a boyfriend so... I just dont know." he sighed again, immediately wishing he could take back those words
-
Ani opened his eyes slightly and saw a shadow going back and forth outside then heard, "look.. ani... i like ya... okay?"
Ani was still a bit too tired to register it completely, "d-don?" he said weakly
-
Aaron slumped in his chair a bit, suddenly very sore and very tired.
"I don't wanna play right now...just...just gimme a mo..." Aaron's eyes closed. His breathing slowed.
-
Don looked to him "yeah?" he breathed another nervous sigh, wanting to run. But something kept him from doing that. He figured he could leverage the fact that his current boyfriend had gotten someone to beat him up at his incompetence... but he didnt know. So, he just stood there.
-
*he sits at a desk,his arm stitched together and his bone fully healed*
-
*the coach watched the kids in detention* "zaida sit up!!"
*zaida jumped up growling*
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
*He sits at a desk in detention,presumably punching the person who broke his arm,amber....that bitch*
-
*Zaida hummed to herself and rested her head on her paw and Amber threw small paper balls at her giggling*
Zaida whispers:"stop.."
Amber smiled: "do something..."
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
*he feels the urge to punch amber....again...before sighing and tapping a claw on the table*
-
*after a couple more paper balls zaida stood grabbing her book and walked to Amber before slamming the book to her head and tackled her to the floor punching her and Amber blocked struggling*
*the coach stood* "EEYY!!" *he ran over pulling zaida off and stood between them* "girls girls stop!! Zaida air across the classroom and Amber just sit down I'll get a tissue for you nose..."
*zaida smiled and sat at the very back and hummed once again playing dubstep in her phone and listening through her beats*
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
*he chuckles seeing amber in pain*
-
Ani teared up, he didnt know why but he began crying loudly, "im sorry... im sorry" he kept apologizing over and over
Noah lightly smacked Aaron's face, "my god do youu need like an energy drink?"
-
Don cocked his head, confused. This definitely wasn't the response he expected. "You're...sorry?" He paced around the room, unsure of what to make of that.
-
Ani shut his eyes tightly and continued crying, "i-if it wasnt for me being careless... this wouldnt hae ever happened im so sorry..." he was almost woken up but not completely yet
-
"Ain't none of this your fault, ani." Don said with a nod, still pacing around the room, still afraid of Aaron. "Just a string of coincidences. Ain't your fault. If you don want to see me again... I'll leave now. But..." He gave another sigh "I don't want to... Even though Aaron will kill me."
-
Ani sniffled and looked at Don, "w-why would Aaron kill-?" he then realised what Don had said "don... i... you like... me? but... i dont... what is there to like? im nobody... im still a bit surprised that Aaron..." he trailed off and looked to his lap
-
"Well..." Don gave a long, drawn out sigh "first of all, you're a cute little thing. And from what I know of you... You seem to be a sweet person: you care about people. And... I dunno... I guess you just kind of strike my fancy!" He gave a chuckle, and rolled his eyes "and you're taken too, which means that I like ya even more, hah."
-
Ani blushed and covered his face with the blankets, "th-thats so sweet of you to say..."
-
Don sighed loudly "yeah... So... What are you going to do with that information?" He sighed "please don't tell Aaron. I'm not a fan of being killed."
-
Ani gave Don an innocent look and shook his head, "no i understand... youre secret is saf i promise... but... i cant... i love Aaron and i just... i just dont know..."
His ears perked, "is Aaron here? i want to see him i-! " the monitors beeped loudly as Ani cringed and gripped his chest again, a slew of nurses and doctors rushed in and surrounded Ani, a doctor shoved Don out of the room and sh the door.
-
*zaida continued to listen to dubstep carelessly while her tail went slowly in a back and forth motion she watched the clock hand move every second but felt like hours. She stopped listening to music and watched the clock like a hawk and all she heard was her heart beat, breathing and taping of her claw on the desk she couldn't wait for Friday to be over all she wanted to do was go home and play video games but slowly the clock ticked making her furious how long it was taking*
If you want peace, then prepare for war
-
*Dubaku walked into detention, holding a Foot Locker bag with a box of a new pair of Jordans in it* Give me detention because the line at Foot Locker was so long that it took me forever to buy these Jordans, that's rational. *he said to himself*
-
Acon sat in the back of the room with a large smile on her face. She had her phone in her paws and her thumbs flew.
-
Don blew a stressed breath out of his mouth, resting his head against the door. He had done that, he had made him feel bad, it was his damned fault. He pounded his fist on the wall, muttering a string of obscenities that gradually increased in volume, until he was screaming.
-
Half an hour passed and the staff came out of Ani's room with relieved sughs and pained faces.
-
Aaron gasped and sat upright, staring wildly at Noah.
"I just glimpsed the light in the darkness~!" He squeaked as all of his fur stood on edge. Then he leaned in and stated tiredly at Noah.
"If it lets you be easy knowing I'm with Ani then ask me everything you want to know - but in a style if quid pro quo, you answer the same question about yourself as if I had asked it back, alright?" Aaron had a serious if not tired expression as he leaned in and gazed into Noah's angry and tricky eyes.
"Please, begin."
-
Noah shook his head and grinned, "no no... i like the idea... im just bad at asking things in order to get information i like... you begin..."
-
"Fine." Aaron said flatly. "Who and what are you and how does that tie you with my partner?"
-
Naoh looked out from he window and sighed, "alright... are you sure you want to hear this?" for a quick moment Noah gave Aaron a serious look
-
"Hurry the f**k up, Noah! I'm still slipping!" Aaron barked, his fur standing on edge.
-
Noah leaned forward and shoved a few painpills into Aaron's maw while he was yapping then he pulled out a cold energy drink and held it to his groin and smirked, "well let me help you out with that before i begin...." he then left the energy drink in Aaron's lap and sat back, "Ani has siblings he doesnt know about... and my name... is Peter Macabre, but please keep calling me Noah...Ani's mother asked me to watch over him the night she died. The night i saved him."
-
Don checked his watch, giving a small curse as he did. He stepped back into ani's room, waved at him, said "period's almost over, gotta go." He seemed oddly calm for his ealrier outburst.
-
(Wow. Can we bring this back? Is that a thing that could happen right now?)
-
(Sure thing)
-
(Yeah! Lets do et~!)
Acon was walking home from the school after detention with her paws jammed into her pockets.
-
I stand my back to a light pole messing with a pocket knife
-
Acon continued walking until she noticed Ben and smiled brightly. "Hey, you!"
-
I smile and close the knife "hey"

-
Acon walked up to Ben and gave him a quick kiss.
-
I smile a bit and hug Acon
-
Acon giggled. "So, what cha up to?"
-
"Nothin much, how was detention" I chucke a bit
-
Acon smirked and rolled her eyes. "Pretty uneventful. I pulled a Breakfast Clud and tried crawling through the vents to sneak out."
-
"That never works" I smirk a bit and laugh
-
Acon nodded. "Agreed. I don't know why I even tried it. It got me two more hours of detention."
-
"Walking out seems to work well for me"
-
Acon giggled. "I'm too small. Jason would be on me faster than I could blink."
-
"Ill just have to pick you up and walk out with you" I laugh a bit
-
Acon leaned upward and kissed Ben lightly.
-
I kiss you back and smile a bit
-
Acon sighed softly before she broke the kiss. "So, what do you wanna do?"

"I'm up for anything"
