Awkward Silence: Chapter 1
By: kaoru1174
A/N: So heres that new story i promised if any one's interested.. this is my first published slash that isn't Mirage of Blaze related. i really like the idea of a DibxSquee. im sure it's not very original but thats okay. this should be short, about 2-3 chapters because thats all my small brain can withstand. Maybe longer which all depends on my schedule. the chapters are short because i start to ramble if they aren't. kinda like this?
Warnings: This is yaoi/Shonen Ai/BoyXBoy. don't like dont read. Pretty simple? All is owned by Jhonen Vasquez and Nightwish and their associates. Not by me. Support them by buying their stuff.
So Enjoy and tell me what you think. constructive criticism is good.
I had never met anyone quite like Dib before. In all reality he scared me. At first. I first met the tall skinny boy in his first year of Hi Skool. I was about 3 years older than him but his reputation followed him through the doors that day. He was known for his crazy interest in the paranormal and being completely unlike anyone else.
I myself did not have the best reputation. I was still the scared, shy child who still carries around a piece of stuffing from my only friend, my teddy bear, Shmee, even though I could no longer hear his voice. I kept to myself and because of this was the constant butt of many jokes. So I understood the small freshman boy even if I wish to have no association with him.
But that would not be my fate. The first day at lunch I took my usual corner to eat the sorry excuse that was my lunch. My parents refused to give me money for lunch, or even fill out the papers for the lunch program, even though I would be allowed free lunch. So I snuck whatever I could find out of my house which often wasn't much. I dug out my hand-me-down CD player that my scary neighbor, Nny, had given me and blasted the volume on the Nightwish CD to block out the chatter of the lunchroom.
I didn't know how long Dib sat there watching me but when I finally noticed I jumped out of my skin! I screamed and almost dropped my CD player! My outburst, of course, drew attention to us. I turned red but Dib seemed completely unfazed by the attention. He just continued to stare at me like he didn't hear the whispers.
Me. In my total shyness just tried to ignore it all. I'm not here…
Eventually after what seemed like the entire lunch period, Dib spoke. His comment took me completely by surprise. All he said was "Can I have some of your Chezy Pufs?"
I almost choked in surprise. Of all the things he could have said? I stared stupidly at him and managed a sentence.
"They're stale…" Mentally I wanted to punch myself! Nice going Todd, way to lose the only person who ever even associated with you! Even if it is just for Chezy Pufs.
Dib's face spread into a grin. "That's the way I like them best!"
And this small awkward silence lead into a whole new friendship I never knew could exist.
