High School

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     The area was grey. A young pup skipped out of the primary school gates. The graze in his knee hurt a bit but was fine. But they didn't know that...they didn't know that as they rushed across the street -
     Aaron woke with a hiss of drawn breath and sat up. A passing truck blared it's horn as it drive by. He mumbled a curse and looked at animus blearily. Why was he here? Oh yeah...
     Aaron sat up and his stomach growled. He hadn't had dinner...? He sighed and waddled to the bathroom. Apparently school was out. This was perfect. Wait. Didn't animus have work today? Didn't he? He left the bathroom and nudged animus gently awake.

Animus gasped and opened his eyes widely,he jumped forward and hugged Aaron tightly, "MOM DONT GO BACK IN THERE!" he gripped at aarons fur desperately then snapped out of his trance, he realized it wasnt his mother he held tightly

     "M...morning." Aaron said, hoping the pair's tiredness would blank out the hint of sadness in his voice.
     -Looks like we were dreaming about the same thing- Aaron thought to himself.
     "C-Cereal for breakfast?"

[Farewell]

*zaida was finally home* "this sucks ass!" *she threw the ball causing it to hit a vase and break* "oops" *she says sarcastically*

[Babydoll Animis]

-oh crub oh crub oh crub oh CRUB!- Animus thought. He was too embarrassed to notice anything else. He slowly detached himself from Aaron "i... dont like cereal..."he saw the clock nearby and realized he was going to be late,that Aaron was going to be late. His mind snapped into full gear as he grabbed Aaron's arm and pulled him to the door "We are so dead if we dont leave now, i will make us something at the cafe! I wont have you being late on your first day mister!" he realized that Aaron was still shirtless and still hot as ever "get dressed!"

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "Easy, easy! I got a uniform waiting there don't I? I'll slip into that when we arrive." Aaron grinned sleepily and motioned for Animus to wait. Then he produced an iced coffee from the fridge.
     "I keep these for when I oversleep. Or if I'm hungry. It won't make a breakfast but mark won't kill us for being tired either."
     Aaron cracked the drink open, took his turn dragging animus along and skulled half of the drink. He passed the other half back to Animus as they moved briskly down the stairs and out of the building.

Animus did his best to keep up as he was dragged along, he held the coffee and took a sip then made a sound of disgust, "im sorry coffee really isnt something i like" he looked up at Aaron and then looked down at his hand holding Animus', it felt so warm

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     Aaron checked the street four times as he approached, and a fifth before actually crossing. The pair arrived at the cafe pretty much just before opening and Aaron knocked on the door and grinned at Mark. Aaron didn't really care that he wasn't wearing a shirt in the middle of the morning street.
     "Sorry my tastes aren't great." Aaron mumbled to Animus. "We'll go shopping next pay and I'll note the stuff you like. Till then it's a guessing game."

[Babydoll Animis]

Mark looked at the two and squinted, he was at the bar cleaning glasses like before.
"No i didnt mean it like that! i... im sorry im just not used to this and..." he held onto Aaron's paw with both of his, "if its alright id like to cook something for you tonight!" his gaze trailed down to Aaron's torso, he blushed again and quickly looked away
Mark unlocked the door as he saw what was going on

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "U-uh! S-sure man! Your call~!" Aaron said shakily. A thought had struck him - was Animus just a friendly guy...or could it possibly be that the effeminate wolf boy possibly liked Aaron; was interested in him romantically?
     He turned to face Mark and smiled as calmly as he could.
     "Animus told me you had employed me - thank you so much."

[Babydoll Animis]

Mark grinned, "dont thank me yet heh." He opened the door and then looked to Animus
"Remember... its special uniform week for you." Mark huffed then Animus groaned
He looked back to Aaron, "uniform is in the back... lemme show ya..." he walked to the bar and through a door behind it

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "He dresses you as a lady to spark customer attention doesn't he?" Aaron asked flatly as he followed Animus. "Oh, what's did he say about the scarf?"

[Babydoll Animis]

Animus nodded and scratched the back of his head "i get paid extra for it... so its not like i mind really.." a flat out lie. last time he ressed up it caused an uproar, two delinquent hot heads ended up wrecking the cafe fighting over Animus. "oh and as long as you wear your uniform anything extra is fine"

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

"Mark flat out forced you to wear it, you couldn't refuse because he's terrifying and you're timid, and he isn't paying you extra at all, is he?" Aaron said flatly, remembering his he and "she" had first met, knowing how Animus was as a person and putting two and two together. He sighed and petted his head.
     "You're a piece of work, Animus." Aaron sighed and smiled inwardly. He'd been just like Animus when he'd lost his parents. His family had brought him up to be strong, they had been his support. And now it seemed that it was Aaron's turn to help somebody else. But under his guidance...what would Animus become?
     Aaron felt a thrill of fear. What if he got it wrong, and hurt Animus? Or was blinded by his emotions and obliviously turned Animus into a monster?
     He looked at animus, lost in his shame. No...he wasn't a bad kid. Aaron sighed again.
     "I see you." Aaron said, referring to the body, mind and soul of Animus in their entireties. "But what do you see, I wonder. Animus...let me...let me be your light. U-until...you learn to see." Aaron blinked and looked away.


     (((You fell asleep didn't you, Sub? Also a fun thing for anyone reading this touching RP - I can't stop humming the Kingdom Hearts II track that plays over The World That Never Was and I'm getting massive Kingdom Hearts feels...)))

[Babydoll Animis]

Animus stopped and turned back to Aaron,looking at his face, "o-okay..." his heart started beating a bit faster, was this... love? He kept looking at the fox. "Aaron i..."
    Animus felt the warm paw on his head,the same warmth that still lingered in his own paw. For the first time in two years, he didnt feel alone. He felt happy. He made it up in his mind that he did love Aaron.
    "I need to know your shirt and pant sizes..." he changed the subject entirely... thats animus for you
