Entry #2
I have decided to continue writing the events that befall Colin and I, since I can start fresh, just like I am in school. Christmas break is over, and the second semester has begun. But I wont be starting right at the beginning of the semester. I am going to start writing what happened, beginning a few days before Christmas break started but not from my point of view….
"It so cold!" A black hair boy complained
"Your fault for not wearing something warmer," his companion said, pulling the other closer in his embrace.
The two boys were walking down one of the main streets, looking at the shops and stores, and pondering the up coming break. There were presents to buy for friends, family, and of course, for the other.
"The black haired boy continued pulling the other down the street, till he found a shop that he liked the look of.
"Hey, Drake," he said looking at the other boy, " Wanna go in there for a bit?"
The other boy smiled and nodded, and then commented shortly,
"But as seeing you dragged me out here in the first place, I don't see the point of my opinion."
Colin looked at him, pouting.
"But Drake, your having fun right?"
Drake snickered and kissed him on the cheek
"I must say that I enjoyed your little "Strip Tease" back there."
Colin flushed.
"That wasn't a strip tease! You put a snowball down my shirt!"
Drake couldn't help but snicker again at the thought. He HAD put a snowball down Colin's shirt, but he hadn't expected him to strip off his jacket and shirt to get rid of the snow. And Colin's reaction to what he had just done was incredibly cute.
"Okay, whatever you say." He said as the two of them walked into the store
The inside of the store was filled with candy(something that both had been craving since Halloween supplies ran out-they had gone around as salesmen, offering absolutely nothing, which many of the "customers" appreciated, and had filled about two pillowcases with candy). That had run out before thanksgiving, with the stomachs that college possessed. The few friends that they had were aghast when they came back from trick or treating, because by their standards, a boy stopped tricker-treating the moment high school began. Feeling sorry about their lack of sugary goodness, they gave away about half of the candy they had collected. They then proceeded to eat the rest.
Most of the candy in the store was normal, such as chocolates and sweets and such, but at a closer look, each "normal" candy was very different. They were wrapped in normal wrappings, but displayed as what they held in side. A few to mention that were the most interesting(especially for the giver, for it was trick candy) followed. There were chocolate frogs, from the harry potter series, as well as a alcoholic drink called "fireywissbang", which was laced with jalapanio juices, as well as chocolates with the same lacing. Another was a small chocolate called "love drops". When they inquired at the front desk, they found that it was actually a simple chocolate with a cherry inside, but instead of the flavored fluid inside, there was a shots worth of vodka. The most interesting though was a rack that at first glance held thick candy canes in a bowl, that looked like a candle or something. When pulled out though, they were rapier, made entirely from candy cane and chocolate detailing. Written in little letters as a joke on the handles were the quote, "for the armature sword swallower".
They left the store after thoroughly looking at the candies, with a bag of assorted pieces to try, and some of the eviler candies as gifts for their friends. Unknown to Colin though, Drake had gotten another, very special gift for him at the store. They stopped at a few more stores, picking up something here and there, and eventually, were left, only looking for gifts for the family. Which shouldn't have been to hard. Drakes parents had abandoned him when he was little, and Colin's mother had broken up with her must recent husband, and committed suicide, so all that remained was one gift. A gift for Colin's father, since Colin and Drake were both going to be staying at his house during the break, since the college was kicking them out and there wasn't anywhere else to go. As well as the fact that since they were out at school, they figured it was time to come out to the family, what little remained.
Yet they found themselves sitting outside a cafe, mentally banging their heads on the table. They hadn't found anything in the twenty or thirty stores they entered.
Drake slumped back in his chair again.
"remind me what your father likes again?" He asked?
"Almost nothing" was the response
"Have the slightest clue what we might find for a business enthusiast?"
"None…..where haven't we looked?" Colin asked as he looked back at the outdoor malls map.
Drake studied it for a moment and pointed at the one store they hadn't been to. It was a bookstore, with most of the products aimed at the college students, as well as a small selection on manga, dvds, and CD's.
"Were probably not gonna find anything there for him…but we might as well try.."
They got up and walked over to the store, and entered. It was rather full that day, and books were left on the tables, stuck out of shelves and on top as well. After about a hour of looking, they had almost checked the entire store, and had gotten a few more gifts. Then it showed itself. It was a mid sized book, yellow, and had a clasp that looked like it wrapped around the book, as well as the fact that it looked exactly like caution tape. They had found it sticking ever so slightly out of the shelves, and decided that it was the "perfect" gift for Colin's father.
They were snickering as they left the store.
"He's really gonna like this." Colin said as he looked at the cover again.
"yeah, and if he doesn't, should we get ready to run for our lives?"
Colin gave him a look, then pushed him in mock anger
"you wont have to run, but you will now. Im freezing, and there's no way that you can beat me back to the heat."
Drake caught his eye, nodded and started running. They raced each other back to the dorm rooms, and when they got there, fell asleep, after packing their bags and wrapping the gifts.
The next morning, they departed, tossing the gifts at their recipients, with threats to skewer them if they opened them before Christmas, and caught the ones that they received.
They took a bus to the outskirts of the city, and hopped on another one, heading towards its last stop, about a half a day away, in Tahoe. They watched the scenery roll by, and talked about plans that they could employ during the break, napped, and woke up about a half hour before the final stop. Out the window, they could see the lake, and the snow covered mountains that surrounded it. Colin rang his father when they got to the drop off point.
"He said he'd be here in a few minutes," Colin said as he walked back to the bench, sitting down. Drake looking onto his boyfriend for a moment. It lacked the bruises and little cuts, which had healed over, and it also lacked the eye-patch that controlled his personality's. He had been able to convince to remove it, and since then, the two personalities had fused back into one. He also wore colors other then black now. A pleasant but not as important change. He looked good in whatever he wore.
He put his hand under Colin's chin, and brought his lips to his, feeling the warmth that flowed through them. They kisses for a few moments, and they pulled back, knowing that Colin's father would be arriving soon. He pulled up a few minutes later and popped the back of the car over, so that the boys could put their bags in.
He was quiet for most of the way back, except for the hello he gave, and the handshakes he gave.
"My home isn't much," Colin said quietly as they pulled up into the driveway, "but…"
Drake interrupted him with a gasp.
The house was huge(or maybe just for Drake, who for his whole life lived in an apartment). It was two stories, and from the front, eight windows were visible. Two cars now sat in the drive way, and the front yard was completely covered in snow.
"Wow"
That was all Drake said. He just stared at the house as Colin lead him in. Tossing off their shoes, they walked into the living room, complete with a large tree, ornaments, and a huge t.v. and two couches. The TV had been left on, or so Drake though. Colin on the other hand turned to his father.
"You left him at home again?" He said
His father simply nodded, and left up the stairs.
"Incoming for landing!" an unknown voice hollered out
"Wait!" was all Colin got out of his mouth before Drake felt a rather heavy weight fell on his back, and arms wrapped around his neck and legs wrapped around his chest. Not knowing what was going on, he simply stood there.
The same voice that he had heard a moment ago rang out again, this time right next to his ear.
"awwww…..he didn't fall down…."
Drake snickered and suddenly knew what was going on. Someone had jumped on his back.
"Is there anyone on my back?" he asked knowingly
No response came from the voice
"So it would be fine if I sat down?" he asked Colin
Colin had a very slight smirk on his face, but he nodded all the same.
Drake walked over to the couch and was about to sit down when the voice popped up again.
"Wait!"
Drake looked around, pretending to be confused.
"I though no one was on my back."
He felt the weight fall from his back, and watched as the boy walked to the couch and sat down again in front of the screen. He sat down on the couch after a few seconds.
"there must have been nobody on my back." he said
He turned to the boy next to him and started to talk again
"Is this house haunted or something? I heard this voice talking to me. Did you hear it?"
The boy next to him, staring down and shook his head. He was about to burst out laughing.
The silence was broken by laughter though when Colin came up and started tickling the boy. After a few minutes, he sat down on Drake's lap.
"I'd like to introduce you to my little brother, Bobby." He said to Drake
Drake patted the boys head
"Nice to meet you Bobby," he said "my names Drake."
Bobby turned and looked at him with a rather scared look in his eyes.
"You're a dragon?" he said
Drake snickered, "Yes, im a dragon. A very small dragon." he said sticking his tongue out like a dragon might
Bobby laughed again.
