The college outcast
This is chapter 2 yada yada yada. On with the fic.
I wake up in a bed in a hospital like setting. in a bed with a splint on my nose and a brace over my back and a nurse sitting in a chair typing on a laptop. I shifted myself up which caused the bed to creak and the nurse just looked up and said.
"Be careful kiddo you sprained your spine and I don't want you to agitate it,"
"Ok thanks," I say
"Oh by the way I'm Mrs. kline," She says.
"Austin 'Dark frost' mactavish," I say.
"Why the nickname?" she asked.
I grabbed my phone and showed her a weavile profile with the typings.
"Oh that makes sense well I'm one of the few people who probably won't hate you," She says.
"Some others are the Dean, my art teacher, and biology teacher," I rattle off.
"Why do people have to be assholes… er pardon my french?" I say.
"Oh don't worry about it that's not the worst I get from students," She says.
"Well I haven't had the most glamorous life and people have been treating me like crap as you can probably tell," I say.
"How long was I out anyway?" I ask
"3 days," She said flatly
"WHA!?" I shout.
"Oh sorry for shouting," I say remorseful
"Oh it's fine and you have been exonerated from all homework you have accumulated so you can just jump back in when you get better but until then you are bedridden for 3 weeks," She says.
"Thanks," I say.
Just then a knock at the door rang through the office.
"Come in," She said.
Once the door opened a girl walked in and wasn't surprised that I was a morph.
"Hello Layla," She said.
"Hi, Mrs. Kline," She said back.
"Oh hello," she says to me nervously.
"Hi," I say.
"Oh, Austin as you probably heard this is Layla, she is the one who brought you here after the incident," Mrs. Kline said.
"She also stayed by your side for most of the time until I chased her out," She explained
"Oh, Thank you," I say blushing but it was hidden by my fur and I saw she was blushing too.
Suddenly my stomach growls and I just blush harder and it actually is peaking through.
"I guess I'm hungry," I say laughing nervously.
"Oh I'll get you something to eat," Layla said.
I get moved to a wheelchair after a few grimaces and a few colorful adjectives under my breath.
"Thanks," I say as she wheels me off.
She takes me to my room and on the way there I ask her a question.
"Hey Layla," I say.
"Yes?" she answers.
"Why?" I ask.
"Well, First off I hate seeing someone get picked on, second Weavile was my favorite while playing through pearl, and third I really like you," She says.
"Oh, though one more question," I say.
"Ok," She said.
"How did you get me to the nurse's office when I'm well built if you will?" I ask
"Looks can be quite deceiving, Also the Dean helped me after I saw his contact in your pocket" She says.
"Ok makes sense," I say.
We reach my dorm and she sees the hate mail I get.
"Yup, this is my life, glamorous and exciting," I say sarcastically.
"Well maybe we should get these off," She says taking the hate off of the door and places it in my pile that I have on a shelf.
"Why put it here?" She asks.
"Just in case I get yelled at for my door being in shambles I have proof that it wasn't me," I say.
"Smart," She says.
"Yeah anyway I'll let you get settled and I'll be right back with our lunch," She says.
I wheel over to my bed and get in and just relax after a few awkward and painful shifts.
"Man I need an elevator just to climb one stair ugh," I say with a groan.
I then finally get comfortable and wait for my potential girlfriend to come back.
I was just about to fall asleep when she came back into my room with a tray of food and hands it to me.
"Thanks Layla," I say grateful.
"You're welcome," She said.
"Man its feels like I've known you forever and we basically just met," I say.
"I kinda feel that way too," Layla said.
"Do you know if there are any rules about students being in the opposite dorms?" I ask.
"I don't think so but it wouldn't matter in your case," She says.
"Yeah I guess so," I comment.
We eat our meals and get comfortable in my room and since its friday, Layla can hang out in my room for the weekend. I get ready for bed with what I can do.
"Ok Layla I guess you can sleep on the couch if you want I mean-," I start before I see her jump into my bed.
"Yeah I guess that works too," I said.
She just grinned and said "Well someone has to take care of you,"
"Well I guess you're right anyway good night," I said.
"Good night," She said back.
single line break
I open my eyes and see a beautiful girl next to me sleeping with her head on my chest just above the cast and subtly shifting to get a better position on her pillow of sorts and I tried my hardest to try and get up without her waking up. Which was a vain attempt but it was worth a shot.
"Err… what happened?" she asked.
"You're in my bedroom and am sleeping on my chest," I say.
"Oh err sorry," Layla said.
"Its fine shade," I say.
"What?" She asked.
"Well Layla means shadow, and shade is a form of shadow ergo that's my nickname for you, I hope that's ok," I said.
"Oh yeah that's fine," she said "By the way your chest is very comfortable,"
"Well I need to get a shower, after that altercation and being out for three days doesn't help my cause at all," I say.
"Oh yeah here let me get off of you," She said.
"Thanks," I say.
"You know with there being no rule about opposite dorm visitation, I think you could move in here, I would just have to clear it with the dean," I say.
"True," She commented.
"Anyway could you help me up," I say.
"Sure," She says.
She helps me up and surprisingly the pain of yesterday was reduced to a dull ache, I feel better maybe this pokemorph thing had more perks than I originally thought.
"Thanks," I said.
"No problem," She said.
"Man I feel better," I say.
"Maybe its the pokemorph thing," She said.
"Possibly," I say.
I take off the cast and stretch and get a satisfying pop out of it.
"Eeell," She cringed.
"Oh things happen," I say as I step into the shower.
I start up the hot water after I get undressed and jump in.
"Man its going to take a fortnight to get this stuff out of my fur," I say.
I get most of the stuff out of my fur when I hear the door open and someone slides in behind me. I instantly froze and start turning around and saw my soon to be girlfriend in the buff if you will.
"Isn't this a little too forward for someone you just met," I say blushing.
"Well if I move in you might as well get used to it," She commented.
"Well since you're here could you please get the small of my back?" I ask.
"Sure," She said holding a wash cloth.
"Yep right there," I said.
We finish up our showering and I make some breakfast.
"You want a spring tart?" I ask as she is drying off.
"Yeah that's fine," She called back.
I put the spring tarts into the toaster and wait until I hear a scream and a light thud.
I open the door and see Layla on the floor a little shaken.
"Hey shade I'm the one who is supposed to be injured not you," I say.
"Very funny weasel boy," She commented.
"Oh watch out, the floor is slippery," I said.
"Again hilarious," She said annoyed.
I help up my girlfriend and hug her.
"Thanks for helping me, my shadow queen," I say.
"Aw thank you," She said.
"Your welcome," I said.
BOING
"Oh looks like breakfast is ready," I say.
"Great, I'm starving," She says.
"Me too," I say.
"Anyway wanna get some coffee after breakfast?" I ask.
"Yeah that sounds nice," She says.
We eat our meager breakfast and head down to the coffee shop and we go order.
"So what would you like?" I ask Layla.
"Well I would like a latté," She says.
"Ok two latté's please," I say.
"OK what name?" The barista says.
"Dark frost," I say.
"Ok just give us a minute," She said.
Layla and I take our seats next to some of her friends.
"Hey guys," She says.
"Hi Layla," The one on the right said.
Upon seeing her friends I notice that there's more to Layla than meets the eye.
"Care to explain why the morph freak is here?" The one on the left said.
"The "morph freak" is right here and he has feelings," I say menacingly.
"Nova, knock it off, Austin don't scare the natives," Layla snaps.
"Heh-heh, wouldn't think of it," I say.
"Dark Frost!" I hear.
"Oh look at the time, that's the coffee," I say.
I leave and the group continues to chat.
"Look what is he to you?" Nova asked.
"He's my boyfriend you idiot," I say.
"Oh well excuse me," She said.
"OK here is your latté," I say.
"Thanks Austin," She said as she sat down.
"Ugh," Nova said.
We had our coffee and since it was saturday we just went back to my dorm but on the
way Layla gets stopped.
"Hey Layla," A random football player said.
"Uh… Hi ashton," She said.
"You know you love me, I think we should date," He said cocky.
"Thanks but no," She said.
"Yeah just dump that loser then you can get a real man," He said.
"Lay off, Ashton," Layla commented upset.
"Aw come on," He said whining.
I tapped his shoulder and he turned around.
"Listen Layla said no so that should be the end of it," I say peeved.
"Go away this is man's business and if Layla can't see that, then she is blind because of you freak," He says.
"Call me a freak, like that's original and also NO MEANS NO," I shout holding a shadow ball in my hand.
"Come on Layla let's go," I say as we leave.
"Yeah, oh we have to stop by my room so I can get my stuff since I'm going to be staying in your room for a while," She says.
I then get a good look at her room and I notice its bigger than my room and the dorms beside me combined.
"Um-" I start.
"Oh yeah this was one of the school's mistakes and so I got a deluxe since the contractors flubbed up and the girls dorms were trying to mirror the boys," She explained.
'What does she even see in me, I mean here is this rich girl going out with a freak and she's everything that i'm not,' I think to myself.
"Hello earth to feather head," She said.
"Oh heh sorry got lost in thought there," I said.
"Also what did you call me?" I ask.
"Feather head," She said.
"Ok I'll let that slide, here let me get that for you," I say as I grab the stuff that she needed and we headed back to my dorm with her stuff.
"Thanks Austin," She said.
"No prob," I say.
"But I do have a question," I comment.
"Why me?" I ask.
"Well first I don't know why you would even ask something like that but you are one of the few people in this school that isn't a total ass," She explained. "Plus your fur is great to sleep on but that's not the point here,"
"Ok," I said smiling.
We head back to my dorm and we hang up her clothes in my closet and her undesirables in her own drawer and was clearly labeled.
"There you're all unpack-," I started before Layla surprised me with a kiss that seemed to last an eternity.
"- not that I didn't enjoy that but why?" I ask.
"You are my boyfriend and I want to remind you of that," She says.
"Thanks and I would like to try something," I say.
"What is it?' She asked.
"Well I think I can use my ice to make something really pretty and I want my girlfriend to be the first," I say.
"Aw thank you," She said.
"So what's your favorite flower?" I ask.
"A rose," She answers.
"You might feel a slight pinch and you may feel cold is that ok?" I ask.
"Yes," She says.
I then do a very low power ice beam at her wrist and "burn" a weavile pattern onto her and then switch to a VERY low intensity of a dark pulse and make a zorua pattern after Layla's flinching stopped then I make a ice colored rose under "Us".
"Ok done," I say exhausted
She looks at it and says "Austin,"
"Yes," I say expecting the worst.
"I LOVE IT," She said.
"Please don't scare me like that," I say relieved.
I tapped on the mark "Mine!" I say smiling.
"Yours," She said with a flinch.
"Oh sorry forgot that area is still tender," I say nervously.
"Its fine," She said with grimacing smile.
"So if you wanted a ring what would it be?"
"Aquamarine with a silver ring," She answered.
"Why do you ask?" She questioned.
"Oh just curious," I say.
"Good night my shadow queen," I say as its getting late.
"Yep good night my ice king," She says.
We sleep the night away in each others arms.
Finally I can put this chapter to rest, anyway still having fun writing this story.
And to all the people that have to point out the glaring differences please keep them to yourself. If its anything besides grammer, punctuation, or my head canon please don't review for them. And please stop with the way I say OK I've seen it spelled that way before. Other than that I Will continue this story.
