High School

[Ben]

I smile and hug you tight

Animus smiled softly, "id love to go see them. it sounds like a great plan." he clapped his hands together, "Itadakimasu!" his tail wagged happily as he looked at Aaron. "So do you know where we will be staying when we go?" he took a small bite of the toast then siped the coffee trying his best to look like he enjoyed it

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "Well, we have two options," Aaron said as he scratched his head. "We can either stay with my family, an hour out of my hometown...or we can stay with...my master..."
     Aaron mumbled that last part and cringed. He saw Animus' expression and blinked.
     "That's tea by the way."
     Home...what a daft idea. He had only met this guy a few days ago but already he was getting comfortable, as if this new lifestyle had been in place for ages.
     Aaron wasn't sure which 'he' he was thinking about.
     Aaron sighed and sipped at his tea. He wasn't comfortable, he was I'll at ease. So why was he suddenly planning to just up and take Animus to the Blade family graves?
     And accommodation...sleeping in a car would be less painful. Furthermore if the both went to stay with Aaron's remaining family in the Blade estate there was no doubt Animus would be socially tortured; he didn't have enough mental or emotional strength to either fly under the radar if be respected by the Blades. Aaron himself wasn't even respected; he was considered a runt. And if the blades saw Aaron and Animus as 'together'...they'd both be majorly chewed out.
     So that just left master. He lived locally, and he treated everyone equally: with derision. At least he wouldn't lay a paw on Animus then. Animus was quite obviously Aaron's Destroyer. As such, he was Aaron's problem.
     Either way it was going to be a nasty trip. Why, why, WHY could Aaron not just stay home and play games, watch movies?
     He knew, though. He was in an uncertain period in his life. He just had to throw himself into the fray and I his healing after.
     "I can...try to make you look a bit less effeminate, if you like. You can borrow some of my clothes. I'll fix your hair, but then we need to go. The trip is long and sucks pretty badly."

"Well hmm..." Animus rest his head in his paw and tapped his chin, "Master or Family... i'd like to meet both really... oh this is hard!" he closed his eyes and thought about his situation, he was living with a guy that he met only a few days ago... but it felt as if they'd known each other for years. "And is something wrong with the way i look?" he looked at Aaron with a tilted head,sure he tried to convince people at school that he wasnt a girl,but only because he would be pestered even more if he didnt. In reality he liked the way he looked. Maybe Aaron was emberrassed of his effeminateness, he thought.

     "Well you always hate looking so ladylike," Aaron said slightly defensively. "A-and besides, you're just wearing a shirt! You can't travel without pants, no matter what your gender!"
     Aaron but hard into his toast, a bit embarrassed. Did...did Animus only complain about his looks in public?
     It was an awful decision to have animus make; where to stay. He stood up and left the room. He came back wearing grey pants, a white shirt - both of which looked sort of like combat monk wear - under a modern, long black coat. It was different to Mark's, however. Of course Aaron was wearing his blue scarf as well. As usual he had forgone shoes. He slumped on the couch and have Animus a look with his thin green eyes.

Animus giggled and stood, the collar on his bell jingling softly due to this, "I see i see... Aaron contrary to popular belief i do like how i look... denying it at school is only for school. Unless... you dont like it then i guess... ill change." he looked to the floor, he didnt really like to act like something he isnt but if it was what Aaron wanted, he would. He waited for Aaron's answer before he put anything on.

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "I...dress how you want, stupid!" Aaron blushed and looked away, picking at a buckle in his coat.
     -DAMN DAMN DAMN! Now I've made him uncomfortable. I bet he feels set upon now, like I'm just another jerk trampling him. Dammit!- Aaron cursed himself. He fixed an eye on Animus but looked away when his glance was met.
     "A-are you getting changed or not? We need to go." Aaron tried. His annoyance at himself had crept into his voice - he sounded tense but not angry.

[Babydoll Animis]

"I-Im sorry!" Animus quickly ran to the bathroom and came out with black shorts and his usual red hoodie on
-I didnt upset him did i?- animus thought
This was the first time Aaron was ever really stern with Animus. He twirled his hoodie fastening string around his finger as he thought. "Oh wait!"
He rushed to his satchel a pulled out an object wrapped in paper, he tucked it in his hoodie pocket and went to the door, "Onward!"

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "What's that?" Aaron asked, sighing once more as he stood. He rinsed out their dishes, grabbed his wallet and made out the door.
     The streets were cold and a light drizzle had set in. The bust stop was a few minutes walk away - as long as the school but in the other direction.
     Aaron glanced at Animus again.
     "So? Where do you want to stay?"

[Babydoll Animis]

"Secret." Animus said as they stood a the bus stop and patted his pocket, "Well we are visiting your parents so id like to stay at your family house. But maybe we could visit your Master sometime too, right?" he was somewhat excited, he wondered what Aarons family was like, if they would like him. No turning back now.

Aakor finally woke up from his coma gasping for air. "...oh my f**king God!"

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "My...family? Sure." Aaron swallowed hard and walked in silence for a bit. His coat rustled in the wind and rain. The sky opened just a little more.
     "Animus? My family aren't really...worth your time. They're what you'd call cruel. To be honest...taking the ridiculous  train fare in the evening might be better."
     Aaron fell silent after that. Was...was Animus excited for this? His beliefs in people's inherent goodness were about to be squashed flat. Then again...his school and work lives knew no bounds of suffering.
     Aaron vowed anew to protect Animus.

[Babydoll Animis]

"Oh im sure they arent that bad... and we can always just leave and go to your Master if it gets too bad." Animus looked up at the sky and felt the breeze ruffle through his fur, his hair swayed as well as his tail, he walked along the edge of the side walk and held out his arms trying to walk in a line. He felt the rain droplets hit his face, he smiled.

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

    "Right." Aaron said, unsure. While Animus was distracted he paid for both of their bus fees and dragged the wolf with the crescent fur patch on his head into the bus stop.
     "It's seven dirty now. We have the nine o'clock."

     (((I'm kind of assuming this town has a big city style bus station that works a bit like a train. I uh...I live in he country and don't get out much - Enigir.)))

[Babydoll Animis]

  (((lol dont ask me i live in the country too!!!!)))


"Soo tell me who all lives at the house." Animus played with his hair, putting it up in pigtails and a bun the letting it fall back down, he sneezed. "Is there a lot of people?"
