Clare woke up, very happy to have Sav at her side. She was in a tiny bed in a room that smelt like stale weed and sex. She saw a candle and burned it. The smell roused Sav into consciousness. It was 1PM.

"Good morning, Baby."

"Good Afternoon, Sav. We slept through the morning."

He sat up, looking sleepy and with sex hair. "I'm hungry."

"We can go to the store and buy some food. I'll make lunch. First, let's get your sheets in the wash." He and Clare got his laundry in the washer machine and then went to the corner store to get bacon, eggs, cheese, bread, green juice, pasta, ground meat and tomato sauce. "This should do."

Sav paid and then they put his food in the fridge and put his clothes in the drier. Clare made grilled cheese with bacon, and they had green juice to drink with it.

"Oh My God!" Sav groaned into his food

"Do sandwiches make you horny too?" Clare joked.

"Everything you do makes me horny, Clare."

She giggled. After drinking her juice, she started on the dishes. Then it was back to Sav's room. Clare went in cleaning mode. She even cleaned Jamie's bong.

"I don't think he's ever cleaned it before," Sav laughed.

They went and got his sheets, made his bed, and then sat down on it.

He kissed her. "I love you so much!"

"I love you more."

"I love you the most"

They kissed again, his hand starting to go up her shirt, when they heard a knock. Before they could answer, they saw a head, "Oh Sorry." They broke apart.

"Clare, this is Tom. Tom, Clare."

"Oh, you're the girl who he can't stop talking about. I can see why."

Clare blushed.

"Sav, they came in today."

"Really, I thought you said two weeks."

"Well, Christmas came early okay." The door was closed now. Tom pulled out a bag of dried something. "$25" Sav paid him and Tom was off. "Have fun!"

"What's that?" Clare stared at it.

"Mushrooms."

"Have you ever done them before?"

"No, but Jamie goes on about them like they're the best thing ever."

"How long does it last?"

"Six hours."

"That long?"

"I think it goes by fast."

"Did you want to do them?"

"I can wait if you don't want to."

Clare thought about it. She wasn't sure if she wanted to or not, but she didn't want him to do them for the first time alone, or with someone else. "I don't know."

"Let's read about them." Sav pulled up a website that Clare had never seen before.

"What is this?"

"It has a bunch of useful information on drugs: the laws, dosages, side effects, user reports, contraindications." There it was, psilocybin. Sav clicked on it and it had a chart and a bunch of facts on the bottom. They read it together. Certain words stuck out like euphoria, tessellations, giddiness. It sounded interesting.

"Let's do it."

Sav got some peanut butter and a scale out. He measured out a dose for each of them, giving Clare the smaller dose. They put the mushrooms on the peanut butter which was on a cracker and ate it. Clare had trouble chewing. Sav got them some juice, and she gulped it down.

"What do we do now?"

"Wait." He put on the Beatles, and he started to kiss her. They went slowly and lazily and Clare's head started to feel floaty. She didn't see anything yet, but she felt weird.

"Do you feel it?"

"Not yet."

She closed her yes and started to take deep breaths. Soon, the color red just seemed to take over. Sav looked at her; her pupils were huge. She grabbed her stomach. He grabbed her a trashcan, but she only had to spit. "Sorry, that was gross."

"It's okay." He started to feel weird too. Clare could sense it. She took his hand. He closed is eyes and then he saw a giant cat, like a house cat but purple and yellow and gigantic. He shot up. "Did you see that?"

"It was probably the drugs," Clare laughed. She saw fractal patterns on his wall. She got up to touch it. "Cool!" They explored his room for a bit.

"Let's go out while there's sunlight." He took her hand and they went outside. Everything was like a new world for them, fresh, vibrant, joyful. Sav climbed a tree. Clare wasn't much of a climber. She played on the ground instead, chasing the squirrels and watching the birds fly. Sav got lonely and went back to her. He hugged her, pulling her onto the grass and they rolled around.

"I'm starting to get chilly."

He took her back inside. Clare was staring at his bubbler.

"Do you want to smoke?"

"Can we?"

"Yeah, it'll be fine." He packed the bowl and gave her the first hit. She took it and this time, her visuals got more intense. It was weird, like the weed and the mushrooms joined forces.

She handed it to Sav. They went back and forth, and then Clare said "I'm good."

Sav looked at her. She looked like a mythical princess. Those eyes were captivating him. He pulled her to him and kissed her. The mushrooms made the kiss feel different, like they were bleeding together into one. Clare wanted to get naked. She started yanking off her clothes. Sav followed suit and then they were going at it. He looked like a sex god/warrior king. She pulled him on top. He started to devour her flesh, kissing, biting, sucking all over her. She was very wet for him and spread her legs.

He thrusted into her.

"FUCK!" she cried out as her senses went in overdrive. He was in a different world. She felt so weird, but so right. He pressed his lips onto her neck and began to thrust. Yesterday was nothing compared to today. Clare and Sav could hardly handle the amount of pleasure they were feeling. They were yelling, biting, scratching as they pounded into each other, again and again. He pulled her on top, loving the sight of her breasts heaving as she rode him. She leaned down and kissed him, trying to devour his mouth as she laid her claim to him. "I am the Walrus," played as Sav pinned her knees to her shoulders and began to fuck her.

All Clare could see was fire in his eyes as he had her. She was overwhelmed with pleasure and excitement and boy was it amazing. She grabbed his hair, pulling him towards her so they could kiss. He pretty much mauled her mouth. All he could think about was invading her, making her his. She was everything. She came, hard, and he followed her. Eventually, he rolled off her. She got up and burned the candle again. She wanted to see the flame as it danced about. She smiled. Sav was drawn to it and stared. It was fun to watch, for a bit. Sav then blew it out.

"Hey!"

"We're really high. Should probably be careful with flames."

She pouted, but he was right. He decided to put on a playlist, a mix of old and new favorites. He then, put on his towel and went to get more juice. They should have bought two bottles. He came back to share with Clare. They drank and then she put down the glass. "We should smoke again, and then you should fuck my brains out."

Sav wondered if that was possible, could brains get forced out from too much dick. He laughed at the thought and then packed his bowl. They were on another dimension again. Sav pulled her onto him and they kissed. She pulled his hands to her breasts, and he began to knead them. DAMN! These feel amazing.

"OH! SAV!"

He loved that sound. He pulled her closer and entered her from behind. He pushed into her, "FUCK!" she cried. He grabbed her hips and began to pound her.

"OH! FUCK CLARE!" Sav was growling, Clare shrilling, the two of them ready to fuck until they gave out. It took a couple of hours, but it felt like days. They collapsed onto the bed, needing a break, and a shower. They took one together, the water fun to play with, and then they got dressed. Tanya saw them, and their pupils, and asked if they wanted candy.

"YES!"

She had pop rocks and sour patch, both of which were amusing to them. She also had a slinky and a sparkly toy. She had clearly been on a few trips of her own. They thanked her for the fun and went to wander. The other students were nice, keeping them entertained as they babbled and tickled each other. They went to his room and watched Kiki's Delivery Service, until they both fell asleep.

After a long slumber, they woke up late Sunday morning and Clare felt a bit hungover. Sav was just sleepy. He made bacon and eggs and toast for them, while she drank some water. After breakfast, Clare felt a bit better and called her mom. Then, she started answering her texts. She got a bunch from Alli. She answered the last one and then went back to Sav. He had to read for class on Tuesday. Clare got a book and read near him. She grabbed Fear and Loathing from Las Vegas off his shelf. Sunday was a recovery day for both of them. They did a fair amount of drugs this weekend, especially since Clare hadn't done any before she got there.

The evening came and Clare made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. They ate together, reminiscing about their weekend: the funny looks they got after they would leave his room, the crazy visuals they saw the day before, the moments where they just held each other. Clare had to drive home tomorrow, and she didn't want to, but tonight, they had each other.

Sav did the dishes this time, and he and Clare went to get more green juice. When they returned, another gathering was forming in the common room. Music was playing, but it wasn't very loud and people were sitting around with beers in their hand. Clare sat in Sav's lap and played with his hair as they hung out with his peers. They brought out the hookah again, and Clare and Sav had fun shotgunning it together. Eventually, it was time to go to the bedroom. Clare said her goodbyes, and they were off.

It was slow and easy this time. Clothes fell to the floor as Nick Drake serenaded them. Soft kisses covered them from head to toe as they explored each other as if for the first time. Clare knelt in front of him and carefully sucked him into her mouth. He loved to play with her hair as her head bobbed up and down, and she liked to tease his balls with her fingernails as he lost control. They switched roles and he made her scream his name as he sucked on her clit and plunged his fingers into her hole. She, came hard, and he pulled her to him, throwing on a rubber before he plunged into her, catching her mouth in a kiss before she could scream Their mouths moved together, tongues batting as he claimed her and she moaned into her kisses as he enjoyed her. She was on top the next time, giving him a rest and the last time she was lying n her stomach, he was on top, thrusting away until they both climaxed and they fell asleep together, Nick Drake looping back to the beginning.

They woke up in a bittersweet embrace, sharing a final shower together before she packed up and drove home. He knew Christmas would get there before they knew it, but he missed her already.

"I love you Clare Edwards."

"I love you more, Savtaj Bhandari."

She drove home, listening to a CD he had made for her over the summer. His voice was always playing when she was alone in her car. He was always there to ride with her.

She had a mix of conflicting feelings after she returned to school. Clare Edwards didn't do drugs, but she did and she loved it. She didn't think Alli would understand, and she didn't want to get Sav in trouble, so she needed to find someone else to talk about it. She saw Bianca when she parked her car. She would understand.
