Chapter 1
"So since we're sharing a dorm together, I guess that makes us roommates." David Starsky walked alongside the handsome lean blond.
"Guess it does." Ken smiled back politely. He didn't know what it was that made him feel so secure with the brunet, but he sure hoped it never changed.
"Well, do you have any rules you want me to follow?" The dark haired man grinned showing off a fabulous lop sided grin.
"Do you need to follow rules?" Ken laughed.
"Oh, except when I'm happy." He bantered back.
"I guess that's most of the time, Starsk."
"Well no it's…what'd you say?"
"What?" The blond frowned.
"Did you just call me, Starsk?" David asked.
"Yeah," Ken nodded, "Ya know it's short for Starsky. I don't think Dave fits you. I'm sorry; I'll call you David…"
"No, no," He shook his head, "I like it, and…you can call me Starsky. It's better than David."
Ken nodded with a smile.
"So what should I call you?" Starsky asked as they rounded the block.
"Anything but Kenneth." The blond sighed.
"Naw," Starsky frowned, "You don't look like a Ken Hutchin…"
"Hutchinson." Ken corrected.
"That's it!" The brunet shouted with a snap of his fingers.
"What?"
"Hutch."
Ken frowned, "What the hell's a Hutch?"
"You!" Starsky smiled, "Or your new name I mean. I an't gonna remember Hutchinson, and Ken doesn't sound like the tough partner whose gonna be cruising the streets with me."
"Ok." Hutch grinned taking a liking to his new name already.
The class bell broke their thoughts
Starsky ran up the steps.
"Come on Hutch," He extended his hand o the blond, "There's a whole world out there that needs saving!"
Hutch smiled taking the offered hand and followed his partner to the academy hall.
And suddenly their worlds didn't seem so dark anymore.
