Isho: forgive my absence, i got lost in the internet but i managed to find my way back. let me tell you, homestuck is addicting, if confusing.


Ah, another week of school. Finally, after two days of enduring my boring parents, I can finally see my beautiful Dai-chan again. He didn't return to the dorms last night so he might be returning early in the morning. So I'll be seeing him in class. My fingers twitch. No, I must keep my restraint. Jeez, who knew not touching my adorable Dai-chan for half a week would be so hard. And now that I can't scent mark him regularly, I have to follow him around whenever I can so no one gets the wrong idea of him being available.

I might also have to use different methods of courting; explaining my skills in bed doesn't seem to be working for some reason. I mean, I'm following all of the advice my dad gave me when I became sexually mature. Well maybe not all. I wonder if Dai-can likes shiny things. Dad says if the other methods don't work and my intended mate is harder to get then I will have to resort to gift giving, the shinier the better. Of course I have plenty of shiny things, plus I could steal anything I need to. What's not to like!?

Just as I'm packing all of my books that I will need today into my bag when I hear the doorknob turn. My head swivels to see Dai-chan poking his adorable little red head into the room. I smile and open the door wider, helping my Dai-chan enter the room, closing it behind us. I immediately wrap him a nice snug embrace. Ahh, what can I say, habits die hard.

Mum drives through the school gates about thirty min before my classes start. This way I have time to get my books from my room. Also so she isn't late for her new job that she started a few days after we moved. At least I ate already so I don't have to fight through a massive throng of people in the cafeteria. Mum pulls up to the gates and stops so I can get out. I grab some of my games that I forgot to bring last week and open the door.

"Give me a kiss before you go sweetie."

I blush but still indulge her as well as share a hug over the divide in the car. After, she ruffles my hair after pulling off my hat.

"Oh, I'm going to miss you baby. Have a good time at school!"

"Ok Mum."

I manage to get out and walk a few feet before I hear her shout.

"Oh, and Mummy wants to meet your sweetheart at some point!"

I groan and slap my hands over my face, covering my eyes, as she drives off into the encroaching daylight. I was hoping she would forget about that. I shake my head and sigh, continuing on towards the dorms. Hopefully, Dark will be in the cafeteria and I will have a somewhat uneventful morning until I get to class. Even better, maybe he's given up on me altogether and we can be normal roommates. Nah, fantasy belongs in fantasyland.

I quickly make my way through the chilly air to my destination and head up to my room, only seeing a few people along my way. I get to my room and listen for a moment, wondering if I could tell if anyone is inside, sniffing the air a bit out of habit. I can't really hear anyone, but that probably just means he isn't moving around a lot.

Hesitantly, I open the already unlocked door and push it open a little bit, maybe he's in the shower or something. Suddenly, the door is swung all the way open and I'm grabbed by the arm and pulled further into the room. I hear the door close and I'm pulled into what I assume is Darks' embrace.

For moment, I am startled and lost in what I should do. Part of my likes this form of contact, it's not lewd and is a very simple and comforting greeting. It also gives me a big dose of Dark's scent. Musky, healthy, and tantalizing. My eyes droop as I get lost in it for a moment before I feel the embrace tighten and I shoot to awareness. My ears press into my head and I start to squirm and whine in distress. I eventually manage to push him away and quickly get my things put together before quickly leaving, Dark hot on my heels with a smug grin on his face.

History class went by pretty normal; Saehara and I were discussing what we did over the weekend and eventually what video games we liked before class started. Dark didn't really talk but he seemed to be paying attention to our conversation. At least he was still keeping his promise about not touching me inappropriately.

After class we went separate ways, since Saehara and Dark had class and I didn't. I wonder where I should go; the teacher didn't assign any homework today so I didn't really have anything to do. Maybe I should check out the library and see what they have. I vaguely remember where it is when With took me on his hyper and bouncy tour of the school.

I meander down the hallways until I find the library and enter. The library here is a decent size, three of the walls are covered in rows of books as well as having three stand alone shelves in the center of the room with signs above stating what genre was underneath. I go over to the thriller section on the back wall, while evading all the tables and their various occupants, and start scanning the selection.

I pick out The Bourne Identity and walk over to one of the tables. All of the tables had at least one person occupying them and the person I sat across from had relatively long, pale blond hair tied behind his hair so it cascaded down his back. He was reading a textbook and writing down notes, so I tried to be as quiet as possible as I pulled out my chair and sat down, he still looked up at me from his book though before going back to what he was doing. Surprisingly, his eyes kind of match his hair, though it has a bit of brown in it. After sitting down I open the book and began reading, if I like it enough, I'll check it out of the library.

After around twenty min, I start to feel a little uncomfortable, shifting side to side in my seat. Eventually I look up and notice the student staring at me intensely. My ears fold down in discomfort and I fiddle with my book.

"Um, am I disturbing you? I can leave if you need to concentrate."

He just stares a little longer and then slowly blinks before standing up.

"No, you're fine."

And then he picks all his stuff up and leaves the library. I stare after him a little bit and then just sigh and shake my head, man that was weird. I take out my cell phone and look at the time. I suppose I should start heading towards my class. I mark my place in the book and go to check it out before leaving myself.

i looked up some shit on crow and fox mating rituals. everything in this chapter is made up. there will be actual facts later on, but these i found more amusing. better than having dark prance around like a loony.
