Ashley got out of class and went to her dorm room. She opened the door and saw Kyle sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and his legs crossed. Kyle didn't say anything. Ashley was a little concerned.
"Hey, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just trying to meditate."
"I see..."
She sat on her bed and laid down. She thought about what the headmaster said to them earlier.
She looked at Kyle. All she saw was flashbacks of him beating off the jocks. He saved her from them. She then closed her eyes and let out a sigh. She stood up and went to Kyle. Kyle opened his eyes and looked at Ashley. He continued to look at her. The two had nothing to say to each other, so all that was heard in the room was the sound of their breathing.
"I...Um..." Ashley tried to speak.
Kyle looked down. Ashley was blushing slightly. She had no idea how close she was to Kyle. Kyle was concerned too. Ashley backed away slowly.
"Do you, not want me around? Do you like, have a boyfriend or something?" Kyle said.
"No! I mean, why are you asking?! It's none of your business!"
"I don't know... You seem to hate me or something."
"I... I don't hate you, Kyle... It's just... I've hadn't had it good with other guys..."
"Well, am I one of those guys to you? Like I said I'll just leave you alone if I'm bothering you."
"N-No... You're fine really... Look I'm sorry if I'm not treating you with respect. I just... I..."
"Sure..." Kyle said in an annoyed toned.
Ashley looked at Kyle. Kyle had his eyes closed again. Ashley looked down. She went to her desk and pulled up her bag. She pulled out her papers and books
Ashley began to write on her paper. She looked back at Kyle. Kyle still had his eyes closed. Ashley tried to focus back on her paper but she kept looking at Kyle. The flashbacks scattered across her head when she looked at him. She couldn't help but to feel bad.
"K-Kyle..."
Kyle was silent. He didn't respond. He just got up and walked to the door.
"Sorry... I'll leave."
"W-Wait..." Ashley said as she quickly turned around. Kyle stopped. He looked at Ashley. Ashley was looking down.
"I..." Ashley tried to say but Kyle cut her off. Kyle had an emotionless look on his face.
"Don't worry about it... It's clear you don't want me around anymore..."
"N-NO! It's not like that... I just... I just... never... never had something like this ever happen to me before..."
"A guy living in your room... Or a guy taking a blade in the shoulder for you..."
Ashley's eyes widen.
"That's right... He was coming for me... And Kyle stopped him... He took the blade for me... How could I been so ignorant... I've done nothing... But disrespected him... Kyle... I'm so sorry..." Ashley thought to herself.
She stood up from her chair. She slowly walked to Kyle. Kyle was watching her.
Ashley held Kyle's hand tightly. She turned red. Kyle turned red as well. His face turned from being serious to being confused.
"Hey... I'm sorry... You've done a lot for me. And... I've been treating you unfairly... Please... Allow me to make it up to you..."
"Uh... How?"
Ashley rubbed Kyle's hand she turned extremely red. She was smiling to herself.
"Oh my god, I'm rubbing his hand... I can't stop... It feels wonderful! Damn it Ashley... Stop it... You're doing wrong things..."
Kyle looked away for a little bit. Ashley had her eyes closed and she was blushing madly. Kyle looked at Ashley and blushed.
"I should really say something... This does feel nice however..."
Kyle let out a sigh.
"L-Listen... You don't need to be this extreme about it."
Ashley opened her eyes and pulled her hands behind her.
"W-WHA?! I WASN'T... I was just... GAAAH! YOU MAKE THIS SO AWKWARD!"
"WHA..."
Ashley clenched her fists. She was turning bright red.
"I'm so embarrassed..."
"Alright listen... Do you want to go eat? Relax a little? Take some things out of your head."
"Go... out?"
"Yeah to the cafeteria."
Ashley blushed and looked down.
"Is this going to be a date or something?"
"I'm just trying to help you relax..."
"Hmmm..."
Ashley faced toward Kyle. She regained her composure.
"I suppose we could go out..."
"Alright, get ready I guess..."
Kyle grabbed his stuff. Ashley grabbed her belongings too.
Kyle and Ashley walked to the cafeteria. They took a seat at an empty table. They sat across from each other.
"So..." Kyle started. "What do you want to eat?"
"Umm... I don't know... You pick."
"Uh... I don't know. This is a cafeteria not a restaurant... I'll go check what options they have alright?"
"Alright..."
Kyle got up and went to the front counter. Ashley was sitting there thinking to herself.
"This isn't a date right...? No... We're just eating... I mean, Kyle didn't really ask me out like that right...?"
Ashley saw Kyle talking to the cashier.
"No... I..." Ashley shook her head while also turning red. "He's a sweet guy... He did help me... I can't be too harsh on him..."
After a bit, Kyle got their food and came back. He sat it on the table.
"I got you grilled chicken and fries... Is that alright?"
Ashley let out a smile. She saw how good the food looked.
"Yeah! Wait... How much did it cost."
"Don't worry about it."
"N-No... I can't just..."
"For real it's alright... Just eat. It's okay."
Ashley got her food and looked at Kyle. She took a bite.
"Ooo... It's great!"
Kyle took a bite.
"Pretty nice."
"So uh... Kyle... I just wanna say... Thank you for everything... Really I do appreciate everything you've done."
"Hey hey, it's all good. We're friends now right?"
Ashley's eyes widen.
"F-Friends?"
"I mean... If not then..."
Ashley smiled a little.
"Y-Yeah... friends..."
"So Ashley, what are you trying to aim for in college?"
"Oh, well I'm trying to be a doctor... But... I don't have the funds to pay for medical school..."
"I'm sure you'll reach your goal. Just don't let anything weigh you down."
Ashley's eyes sparkled. She then smiled.
"Thanks..."
"You know, I came to college to pass it...to prove my friend wrong, Although I'm not doing too well at the moment. As you may know... I already got into fights and I'm suspended... I might just be here for the first year and bounce... I can just work elsewhere and get money. Plus I don't really need a degree for game development ehehe..."
Ashley tilted her head, she was confused.
"You're trying to be a game developer?"
"Well that's at least what I wanted to do... I also wanna be well known for my talents as well. However... Things aren't going smoothly for me. I've started to lose more and more confidence in myself. So I just... Do whatever I feel like doing now... I have no goals now... Which is why I'm kinda feeling stupid to apply for college knowing that I have no motivation to do anything."
"But you are doing something you love doing right? So what else matters?"
Kyle looked at Ashley. His face was emotionless.
"The fact that I need to get my life together... What else matters to me now? Go to college and meet with people that I'll see for like a month then never again? I came here to socialize as well, but so far all I've been getting into is idiots... Besides you. You're pretty chill."
"Thanks..." Ashley blushed.
Kyle laughed a bit. He then got serious again.
"But yeah... I really should try to get my life together... No more fights too. Not going to lie that fight was one of the hardest fights I've ever had."
"Yeah, I heard people were talking about it..."
"I see... Well I should probably-"
Kyle was interrupted by a taller guy with slicked back blonde hair and a big jaw coming towards their table. He had a confident smirk on his face. He was wearing a leather jacket with a black t-shirt underneath it.
"Well well well, look who it is... It's Kyle and Ashley."
"You know me?" Kyle said to the dude.
"Yeah of course I know you... You fought off the rest of my football team."
"Oh well, your team decided to randomly jump me, also tried to attack Ashley as well. For no reason. Also... one of your team stabbed my shoulder... After trying to stab Ashley... Sick fuck..."
"Ah... Well speaking about that. I need to talk to Ashley." The dude said as he pulled out a blade. Kyle stood up and walked in front of the dude. Ashley stood up too.
"K-Kyle..."
Kyle blocked the way.
"We're having a date right now, and you're ruining it"
"H-HUH?! SO YOU WERE ASKING ME OUT ON A DATE?!" Ashley said with anger as she turned red.
"Aw I'm sorry but does it look like I care? Do you know who I am?"
"No I don't."
"I'm Nick, I run this school."
"Yeah? Good for you, I don't give a single fuck about this school nor you."
Nick growled with anger. His eyes were in flames. He snapped his fingers. A group of jocks rushed over to the table and surrounded it. Kyle was more focused on Nick.
"Now what? You've got nowhere to run and nowhere to hide."
Kyle grabbed Nick by the arm and disarmed the knife. He grabbes Nick's neck and threw him at the jocks, crashing into them. Kyle quickly grabbed Ashley and rushed out with her. Nick yelled.
"GET THEIR ASSES!"
Kyle rushed to the dorm with Ashley. He looked back and saw that the jocks were catching up. He wasn't going to make it. He had to do something.
"Shit. Ashley go back to the room. I have to handle this myself."
"Wha-"
"No time, just go!"
Ashley ran towards the dorm. Kyle stood still facing the jocks. One of the jock swung a punch, Kyle blocked it and elbowed his neck. The jock was out cold. Some of the jocks tried going around Kyle to get Ashley, but Kyle was blocking the way. Then a group of jocks teamed up and tackled Kyle together. He was taken down. They all began to throw punches and kicks. Ashley was looking back as she saw Kyle. Kyle was on the ground blocking his entire body.
"Why am I running away... I should help him... But, what can I do to help... I can't do anything to help... Kyle... I'm sorry..."
Once she got back to the room, she immediately called the office.
"H-Help! Someone is getting attacked in the east hallway! Please stop them from beating him up! THEY'RE HURTING HIM!" Ashley cried.
"Alright we'll send security right away!"
Ashley hung up the phone and sat down on the floor. All she could think about is if Kyle is going to be okay. Her tears swept through her eyes.
"He... protected me... Again... He keeps risking his life over me. Kyle... Why... Why are you doing this to me... Can't you see, I'm trying now to get close to you after what had happen to me... I've don't want the same thing happening to me... But you keep getting in the way..."
Flashbacks of Kyle ran through Ashley's head. Ashley covered her face and began to cry. She then heard a knock. She got up quickly to open the door. She then covered her mouth and gasped.
"I'm back..." Kyle said. His head was bleeding, and his clothes were all dirty. He had bruises everywhere.
Ashley hugged Kyle tightly. She was relieved that Kyle is okay. Kyle's eyes widen and then he smiled. He hugged back.
"What happened..."
"Ehehe... To be honest I was quite helpless... But yeah security came and tackled down the jocks. I escaped back here."
"You idiot... Why... Why did you risk your life again to protect me?"
"Because, you're a not stranger to me anymore. You're someone I care for now."
"Y-You care? N-No..."
"I don't expect you to do the same for me. And it's okay..." Kyle said to Ashley.
"You're... such an idiot... " Ashley cried. She was embracing Kyle's body onto hers.
"Yeah, I guess I am."
Kyle got up and opened his drawer and took out a first aid kit. Ashley grabbed the kit from Kyle.
"Please... Let me..." Ashley said to Kyle.
Kyle smiled at her.
"Okay." Kyle said as he sat down.
Ashley began to clean Kyle's wounds with care. Kyle winced a bit, but he was glad to have Ashley by his side right now.
"You got mad, didn't you?" Kyle told Ashley.
"Huh?" Ashley looked up at Kyle.
"When I said it was a date, right?"
Ashley turned red. She then narrowed her eyes and pout.
"That doesn't matter right now..."
"You told me you didn't had it good with guys, I'm curious Ashley. I want to know who hurt you that badly."
Ashley looked down.
"Just someone, I've put all my trust and faith into... Someone who I've given all of my love to..."
"Hm... Sounds like a boyfriend?"
Ashley looked up and then at her knees.
"Someone I was with for two years. Someone who promised he'll always love me and will always be by my side... But he... started to change... Into someone I don't like. He accused me for doing things and not spending time with him because I was busy... He.. He then broke my heart after saying he was going to see other girls..." Ashley's voice began to drop. She looked at Kyle. Kyle's eyes were showing sympathy and sadness. Kyle grabbed her hand. Ashley looked at him and blushed.
"You're definitely a good girl. You're not at fault at all..."
Ashley's eyes sparkled. She then looked down.
"I... I don't want to talk about it anymore..."
"Sorry."
"No it's fine..."
Ashley said as she began to wipe the dirt and dried blood off of Kyle's wounds.
"Kyle... Thank you... I don't know how to make this up to you... You saved me twice."
"You don't have to do anything."
Ashley continued to wipe off the dried blood and dust off of Kyle's wounds. Her hands were touching Kyle's bare skin. She was careful not to hurt him. Her face was getting redder and redder.
"I'm so sorry..." Ashley said as she broke down in tears. "I wanted to help you! But... But..."
"It's fine. Really I understand. None of it is your fault."
"No... It is... They keep trying to sexually harass me... And..."
"... I will not let any of those fuckers... Get near you."
"And what happens if you're not here? I'll get harassed, and nobody can stop them..."
"Well, then let me know... And I'll break every single bone in their body, when I find out. I'll try to look out for you as much as I can."
Ashley looked down.
"I can't always depend on you..."
"You can't, there's times where you have to solve it yourself. I could teach you some martial art moves so you can escape."
"I'll be fine... Just worry about yourself right now... please..."
Ashley wiped the remaining blood off of Kyle's wounds. She then began to bandage him up with care.
"Thanks..."
"You're welcome..." Ashley responded while looking down.
Ashley was thinking to herself. She began to fantasize.
"Kinda sucks that this happened to me... Good thing I'm off for 5 days, that way I can recover."
"I can treat you as well." Ashley said as she smiled.
Ashley snapped back to reality.
"Grr... YOU IDIOT!" Ashley said as she pushed Kyle down.
"WHA?! What did I do?!"
"I have to take care of you now... Since you're injured."
"Oh... Well you don't have to."
"Shut up... I have to... You protected me now I have to help you."
"Look really, if it bothers you..." Kyle tried to finish but Ashley embraced Kyle tightly. Kyle's eyes widen. Ashley was hugging him tightly.
"I'm so grateful... I'm so happy... That you are here..."
Kyle smiled, he hugged back.
"I'm grateful that you're here too. I finally met someone amazing."
Ashley's eyes were sparkling, she smiled.
"I... I may have... fallen for you Kyle... After all you've done... Is protected me... And been so kind to me..." Ashley thought to herself.
"You know... You're really beautiful when you smile..."
Ashley narrowed her eyes and blushed. Kyle held her cheek.
"I mean it..." Kyle said to her.
"Kyle..."
They slowly leaned in.
"Am I really going to... kiss him... I... I give up... I kinda want to... Kyle..." Ashley thought to herself.
"This is wrong... This is wrong... This is wrong..."
They both closed their eyes.
Chu...
They both kissed... Both of their lips were pressing against each others... Usually something would ruin this scene but they actually kissed!
They broke the kiss and stared at each other. Then they both realized what they've just done."
"You..." Ashley said.
"We...Kissed..."
"W-Why..."
"I was just... doing what you were doing..."
"N-No... I..."
Kyle got onto his knees and put his hands together.
"Ashley... I take the blame for all this... Please, forgive me... And we will pretend none of this ever happened..."
Ashley closed her eyes. She smiled to herself.
"Kyle..."
Kyle looked at Ashley. Ashley had her arms opened.
"Come to me Kyle..."
Kyle's eyes widen. Ashley was sparkling, she was smiling to him.
Kyle slowly stood up and hugged Ashley.
Ashley cuddled Kyle. Kyle smiled and cuddled Ashley back.
"Can we... kiss some more Kyle?"
"T-That's a bit much to ask for..."
Ashley leaned in. She pressed her lips onto Kyle's. Kyle kissed back. Ashley wrapped her arms around him.
"Mmm..."
Kyle slowly stuck his tongue inside hers. Her tongue slowly reached out to his. Ashley broke the kiss. She turned red and made a slight annoyed look.
"S-So... Perverted Kyle..." Ashley said. She seemed a little displeased but then quickly smiled. "I supposed... It's okay..."
"Is... Is this alright? I feel like this is kinda wrong..."
Ashley looked away.
"I'd like it to be okay... Don't you?"
"Yeah... In some way..."
Ashley pressed her lips against Kyle's again. Kyle rolled along and kissed back.
"I need to stop this... I need to stop this..." Kyle thought to himself.
"Why... Why am I doing this... Why do I enjoy this? Why... Why do I like him... I don't even much about him and recently met him... But..."
Kyle broke the kiss. His face was deep red.
"We should get to bed now... It's getting late... Could you help me out please?"
"Huh? Oh... sure."
Ashley got up and laid Kyle down on his bed.
"Are you comfortable?"
"Yeah, thanks."
Ashley was about to move away but then, Kyle grabbed her arm.
"Huh?"
Kyle smiled.
"Hey wanna sleep with me beautiful?"
Ashley turned bright red and shook her head rapidly. She then looked at Kyle and slowly nodded.
"I suppose... We could. But I haven't finished my work."
"Oh... That's my fault... Hey listen, talk to your teacher about it, I'm sure he or she will understand."
Ashley smiled. She then giggled.
"Hmm?" Kyle said.
"It's not due until next week. I just get into the habit of finishing work early so I'd have extra free time."
"Ah... Well sorry to break your routine..."
"You're okay... Honestly."
"Anyway I'll head to sleep now." Kyle said as he turned over.
"J-Just... one night... I'll sleep next to you."
"You know I was joking... Right?"
"N-No... But... Even if..." She laid down next to Kyle and turned her back towards him. "I can't leave you alone after what just happened..."
"Alright I guess..."
Ashley cuddled Kyle. Kyle rubbed her head, patting it. It stayed like this for a few minutes. Kyle then spoke.
"H-Hey... What are we now..." Kyle asked her.
Ashley's breathing was slowing down. She was already asleep. Kyle looked at her and smiled. He slowly closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
As soon Kyle woke up she notice Ashley was hugging him tightly. He slowly brushed off Ashley's hair with his hand.
She slowly opened her eyes. Ashley looked at herself and Kyle. She was smiling.
"Good morning Kyle..."
"Oh... Good morning. Why am I feeling something soft..."
"Huh?"
Kyle moved the blanket over. He was grabbing Ashley's breast. Ashley's eyes widen.
"G-GET OFF ME!"
Ashley pushed Kyle off the bed.
"WHA!" Kyle yelled as he fell off. "AGH FUCKING HELL ASHLEY DID YOU FORGET I'M INJURED!"
"WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE YOU DOING YOU PERVERT!?"
"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!"
Ashley got up. She grabbed her clothes.
"TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME RIGH?!"
"N-NO! ASHLEY I PROMISE I WASN'T DOING ANYTHING!"
Ashley looked at Kyle and let out a sigh.
"I can't even get dressed around you anymore."
"Fine I'll leave!" Kyle said as he got up. He limped to the door. Then he stumbled down onto the floor.
"Wait!" Ashley said as she ran to help him.
Kyle grabbed the doorknob he lift himself up. He was about to turn it.
"Kyle, I'm... I'm sorry!"
"It's fine. I get it, and apology accepted."
Kyle turned the door knob and left the room.
Ashley was now left alone in the room. She sat down and began to think.
"He touched me... It felt..."' Ashley said as she smiled to herself and blushed.
"Kyle... If only we did it again..." Ashley said as looked down. She quickly got dressed. She then looked out the door. Kyle was sitting outside. Ashley's eyes wide
"You... You didn't leave?"
"Well no I can't leave... School is in session and I'm suspended for 4 more days."
Ashley walked to him. She offered a hand to pick up Kyle. Kyle reached out his hand and got up. She laid Kyle down on his bed.
"Please rest alright."
"Ashley... There's something I really wanna tell you, but I know you'll get mad at me..."
"Then maybe you really shouldn't tell me, I might hurt you again."
"More likely you will."
"I'm curious... What is it."
Kyle smiled.
"Aw forget it... There's no point..."
Ashley narrowed her eyes.
"Are you serious?!"
"Just go to class Ashley, maybe another time I'll tell you."
"For real you're making me very curious..."
"Yeah, sorry...anyway head to class alright?"
"Alright... Bye."
Ashley walked out. She was thinking to herself.
"What did Kyle wanted to say to me... Could he had been trying to confess to me? Could he already had fallen for me?!"
Ashley began to fantasize.
"Ashley... I really like you... But I know you'd hate me for saying that. I'm so ashamed of myself, if only there's a way for you to forgive me."
"Oh, Kyle... Just come to me and we can sort it out."
"With our lips?"
"You pervert! But... I'll allow it... Just for you Kyle..."
"Ashley... How can I ever repay you..."
"Consider us even..."
Ashley was turning bright red. She was smiling slightly. She then shook her head.
"NO! NO! PERVERT! BAD PERVERT THOUGHTS! ASHLEY STOP! You're in school!"
Ashley quickly rushed to school. Kyle was on his bed thinking.
"Am I in love? Maybe... Ashley is really nice... But I don't know much about her... So I don't think I can be in love. Maybe I just like her... Ah whatever... Spend some more time with her, then I'll know..."
