(Emmy desperately needed some time away from the mansion so she snuck out one sunny morning and headed down to the beach with her surf board to ride the waves. The water felt wonderful on her smooth skin. When she decided to take a break and grab lunch she noticed a boy looking at her. She flashed him a friendly smile as she walked by him.)

Unlike the usual thick jacket he usually wore, Colton was only clad with a white t-shirt and his jeans. Thank god he didn’t wear the jacket though, it was ungodly hot and the urge to pant was very high… but he held on.

Mostly because of the sight of the badass woman surfing the waves like a pro. She was definitely experienced that’s for sure. He had no desire to surf but… watching her do it sure was beautiful. When she waved as she walked on the shore… he froze up. Should he say hi?

“S-she’s coming closer.” Colton muttered to himself… what does he do?!?

With a confused groan he pulled away from her slick loins and looked up at the amphibian beauty. His ears perked up and his paws fell to his side as she stopped, what did she mean exactly?

“S-something wrong Emmy? Did I mess it up?” He did seem nervous, not entirely sure of what she wanted.

He looked with wide eyes as she moved, her rear moving from his grasp but her lips replacing that lust within the second. He kissed back earnestly and let his paws wander her slender body, his eyes closing as he eased into her touch. What he didn’t expect was the small and wet sensation on his tip, he didn’t really want to wait now. She wanted this, and he was more than happy to deliver.

"P-put it in... I want this... I love you."

As he continued to rub her head she would press her body into his, causing him to feel the rumble of her chest as she purred. sometimes she was painfully obvious about being a feline, but to her it was just her nature.

~“Oh… Yes…”

Her words came out as moans as he continued, and the more he did it the more she rubbed her body against him. she wanted him to take the hint about how she was acting and just.. take her, begin touching elsewhere

!he hoped that her voice would convey that, but if not… she was prepared to take matters into her own hands with how close she was to him.

[schizophrenic-lust]

It was pretty obvious what she wanted now, and he wasn’t sure if he was completely on board. She was acting like a maternal figure for so long that he didn’t even consider that she had an interest in him. He wasn’t sure what to do, rub her head more and feign more or give in to her desires?

He chose the former ultimately, he simply liked what they had already and didn’t want to lose that by enacting on these desires. So he feigned innocence and laughed awkwardly, continuing to rub her ear even as her moans escalated.

"Haha... glad you're enjoying yourself miss."

@schizophrenic-quarian

She wasn’t technically their mother, in fact she wasn’t even their adoptive mother, just a lady who was a mother who took interest in them. Her children had all left, and her husband was dead… leaving her needing a lot of things.

She needed seuxal attention, as well as a maternal outlet and… one young person fit that bill perfectly. THings had begin lightly, but Sarah had been leaning things towards the more sexual side, pressing against them, buying sexy lingerie, while commenting that she has no one to model it for to them… so on and so forth.

She did this all while still being motherly, helping pay for schooling, buying pretty much anything they wanted, hosting parties the works!

Currently they were alone, and her ‘kid’ had playfully ept her, when she grabbed their hand and pulled it back.

~“Don’t stop.. .that felt really nice.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton had certainly been enjoying his time with his 'adoptive' mother, he never had a mom so it was all a bit strange for him at first. Still once he got a hang of keeping his room clean and keeping his mother happy he was enjoying himself far more than he was on the busy streets.

Still it seemed something had been off lately, she was pushing him for something... maybe he was just ignorant but he really didn’t get the suggestions she made when he judged her new lingerie or underwear that she bought. Right now though, he knew she loved her ear being rubbed so he was doing his best to keep his mother entertained.

"Yes ma’am. Sometimes I forget just how much you enjoy this spot."

I WILL BE CENSORED AFTER DEC 14TH

Good, I’ve got your attention. I’ve heard about this net neutrality bullshit returning. I fought it when it started popping up a few years ago, and I’m going to fight it again. Guys, it’s BACK AGAIN and even worse theres a big chance it will END UP PASSING!

https://www.battleforthenet.com/#bftn-action-form

This could literally mean a shit ton of you wont be able to see me anymore if your provider decides that they want to regulate/censor, sayyy overly sexual content. You’ll also have to pay extra money to even use Tumblr!

https://www.battleforthenet.com/#bftn-action-form

Please guys, we defeated this shit once, we can do it again. They’re trying to do it now while people are distracted by the holidays and fucking Justice League. As of today, it seems as though there have only been 266,810 calls made to Congress. This is NOT good enough!! MILLIONS of people use the net, and if each one of them took 60 seconds to call and protect it, holy balls do you KNOW how much of a difference that would make??? But noooo, you’re busy streaming an ecchi anime that wont be available to you soon!!!!!

Heres a direct link to make a difference (theres also links to other sites of the same nature on here), and yes, YOU can make a fucking difference because this is YOUR internet at stake here. If you’re not going to make the call, share this and maybe SOMEONE fucking will!! This is important as shit and we cant afford to lose. Dec 14th is the deadline.

https://www.battleforthenet.com/#bftn-action-form

[cloudyheadedhooter-deactivated2]

I know this doesn’t sound important but….

The reason they started this again is because… the timing.

Coincidence? I think NOT.

Everyone is so obsessed with something else, The FCC are manipulating us.

[xxkittenxxyt-deactivated2018020]

I seriously don’t want to give up Tumblr and YouTube all together because of this crap..

Batch pleasure - by Elvofirida

[schizophrenic-lust]

Sometimes, being a student in high school sucked. Krystina Sandoval, a Freshman at Henry J. Gloval High School found today to be one of those days. The leggy blonde hadn't even been able to get from the parking lot, where her older brother Christopher had parked, to her locker without hearing the catcalls. The books she needed held in one arm across her chest, she slammed her locker door closed and began to stalk down the hall. Turning a corner, she smacked face first into someone's chest.

Colton was panting as he ran the opposite direction. Butch and his cronies were right behind him at the moment and he wasn’t gonna be anywhere near them in the next… ah crap.

“Oof!” Colton felt the air get knocked out of his lungs as he collided with the fellow student, he fell onto his rear and put his paw to his face.

“S-sorry!” Colton muttered out before he felt an aggressive hand on his shoulder. Slowly he looked up to see butch… the man was a mountain, he stood at a whopping 6'6 and Colton didn’t want to guess the man’s weight.

“Hey buddy… trying to run again?” His voice was deep and booming like a volcano… it made Colton shiver at the mere sound of it.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She shook her head at him and smiled. “It’s our night Colton.” She amended his sentence. “And we are going to show these stuck-up, smarmy, morons excactly how much fun we can have.” She would have found it entertaining to simply start a brawl, but two things stopped her. Firstly; Colton had gotten much better as a fighter, but he wasn’t ready for something like that yet. Secondly; she looked far too stunning in this dress to risk ruining it with violence. She led him to the entrance and offered their tickets. The teacher taking them nodded once to them and let them pass. They entered the gymnasium and she looked around at all of the decorations and the people who were generally just milling about.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Her correction made him go silent, he found it hard to speak after that… he felt like she was spending more time taking care of him than he taking care of her. But she didn’t seem too bothered by that so he tried not to think about it.

He didn’t have a single shred of violence in his body, even with his self defense training. Of course he wouldn’t tell Krystina that but if the illusion of defense made her happy then so be it. Colton did leave her momentarily to grab the both of them punch… but she seemed too engrossed in the environment to care.

“Here, I thought you’d like this.” Colton said as he handed over her cup of punch.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She took the cup from him and gave him a warm smile. “Thank you.” She said softly. “Sorry if I come across as overbearing sometimes. One of the perks of being an Army Brat.” She mentally kicked herself for wearing these heels. I can’t dance in these, I’ll break my damned neck. She thought to herself.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton couldn’t dance anyway so it wasn’t like she was losing out on much. Still her military history only made him feel safer if he was being honest with himself.

“Well… I’ve never D-done this before so I’m not exactly sure what to do besides… well… dance… we can wait for something slower to come on if you like though Krystina.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I’ve never done this before either.” She admitted. She bent her knee back, and reached behind her to remove her shoe, then repeated the process with her left foot. “But I’m certain of one thing, if I try to dance in these death trap shoes, I’m likely to break my damned neck.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton couldn’t help but chuckle as she took her heels off, clearly she was dressed to impress a little too much at the moment. But at that moment a slow song played… it was definitely orchestral in nature but it served its purpose beautifully. That being to boost Colton’s confidence. So he offered the human her paw and gave his warmest smile.

“Y-you wouldn’t mind joining me on the dance floor would you?”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Not at all.” She replied, placing her hand in his paw. “Lead the way.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

And Colton did exactly that, leading her out near the center where it was surprisingly the most empty. He put both paws on her shoulder and slowly began to rock his hips to the harmonic tune. Clearly he enjoyed this type of music.

“H-honestly… if you don’t mind me confessing… I… I’ve been trying to find a way to ask you out since before we ran into each other… only I found out how much I needed you… I hope this doesn’t sound too sappy but… I… I really do love you…”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

Hearing his confession she felt her cheeks turn a bright red and shook her head to form a small curtain of her hair to hide it. “Did you hear that?” A disgusted grunt came from nearby, “the mongrel confessed to the ice princess. Maybe they’ll breed and have puppies.” The jeering continued for a moment, causing the muscles in the blonde’s cheek to twitch. “C-Colton, I don’t know what to say,” she had began to tell him when she paused and scowled. “Hold that thought for just one moment.” She gracefully extracted herself from his warm embrace and then spun around, her right arm held close to her chest until she snapped it outward, fist clenched to connect with the loudest and closest of the commenters. There was a loud crunch and then an agonized muffled cry as he fell to his side clutching his jaw where it met his ear. A glint of blue-steel seemed to shine on her hand for just a moment before she dropped her hand back to her purse. When she removed it her hand was normal once more. “Anybody else want to run their fucking mouths?” She paused, “I thought not.” Then she returned to her date and smoothly resumed their dance.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was definitely a little thrown off by the quick turn of events. The comments made him wish he hadn’t even said anything and the impending violence even made him wince. The quick flash of blue confused him though… what was that? Either way she returned back to their dance quickly enough and… well he was too flustered to continue his thoughts.

“I… I’m sorry if this came as a surprise… I shouldn’t have said anything.” His fears overcame him and he let go of her admittedly soft embrace. He then quickly paced away, pushing his way past other teens and humans… why was he such a goddamn disgrace?

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

The blonde shook her head as he ran from her and she let out a curse under her breath. She would never catch him in these death traps she wore on her feet. Carefully she kicked the shoes from her feet and hiked her dress up. Then with the murmuring crowd still parted in his wake, she ran after him. Bare feet slapping the tile floor with every step, she made her way towards where she had lost sight of him. “Why the hell does he run away?” She growled to herself, “Am I really that intimidating?” She stopped abruptly and took a deep lung full of air. “Colton!” She shouted, in her sharpest, most commanding voice, “where the hell did you run off to?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was doing the most cowardly place he could be, he was simply hiding in his locker, light whimpers of fear and tears could be heard emanating very close to Krystina.

“S-shut up… y-you’re no good Colton… you’ll ruin everything she strives for. You’re a useless d-distraction.” His anxiety seemed to have come to the point that he was verbally speaking for the voices in his head.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She froze in place hearing the whimpers and one sided argument from her left. There was no mistaking the voice, muffled as it may be. Quietly she padded over to the row of lockers and placed her ear next to the one that the sound was originating from. Clearly Colton was inside and he was obviously struggling with himself. She was unsure what to do to help him in this situation, didn’t know if she could say anything to him that would make things better… or if she would just make things worse. At long last, she gently rapped on the metal. “Are you just going to stay huddled in there all night?” She asked in a quiet voice. “I shouldn’t have made a scene back there, I’m sorry. I ruined everything.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

The lack of high heels definitely helped in her efforts to sneak up on the lockers. Still when she listened he would utter more self degrading things. Such as his whole life being a sham or maybe how much of a coward he was.

When her voice was heard however he went silent, obviously trying to hear what she had to say. When she finished… he gently pushed up the latch that held the locker closed. He stayed huddled for now but he gave Krystina eye contact.

“You S-shouldn’t be sorry… I shouldn’t have to put you through shit like this. I’m… not good enough for you… I’ll never be good enough for you but… I’m sorry I am such a coward.” Colton whimpered out before burying his muzzle into his tuxedo.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She laughed softly and reached into her purse to retrieve the item she had slipped out and back in. “You didn’t put me through anything,” she said in a soft and reassuring voice, “I’m not very well liked as it is in this school, and I’m quick on the trigger when it comes to using force.” She let the item fall to the floor with a heavy thunk. A pair of cobalt-blue steel knuckles. “Bought these for two reasons; first, because I expected trouble like what happened earlier, and two, they matched my dress.” She crept forward and stroked the fur atop his head softly, “what do you say we get out of here?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Her humor seemed to elicit a chuckle out of the mutt, his demeanor easing up a tad. So when he saw the steel knuckles… she definitely didn’t take any chances that’s for sure. The woman was tough as nails and definitely suited her to bring such a weapon.

Colton purred softly as his fur tufts were fiddled with, the feeling was quite pleasurable. He felt… loved… for once at least.

“Yeah… who needs prom when… we have each other right?” Colton said with a teared up smile.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

she chuckled and wiped the tears from his eyes. “True enough,” Krystina responded, “but this is only Homecoming, Prom is still a ways off and we’re gonna knock ‘em dead.”

an idea was forming in her mind, but she would need his help to pull it off.

[schizophrenic-lust]

True this was only homecoming… maybe they could knock this whole school dance out of the park next time. Colton then decided it was time to get out of his locker, especially considering he was mostly calmed down now.

“Y-yeah…” Colton then climbed out of the locker, His form seeming a little hunched from being closed inside his locker.

“S-so… where are we going? Mrs. Kibbs isn’t expecting us until at least until Eleven.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I’m thinking the Prometheus Club would be a good place to eat.” She said with a grin. It was the best and most exclusive restaurant in Monument City, almost impossible to get a table without a three month reservation. Fortunately, her and her siblings guardian was a Lieutenant General in the Southern Cross Military and the brother of the owner, thereby having a standing reservation.

[schizophrenic-lust]

His eyes widened with interest as she suggested possibly the most impressive building in the city. But how was she gonna pay for them? Better yet would he have to give his whole confession another shot? Cause he wasn’t exactly sure his nerves would hold out this time.

“W-what… I mean if you have a way in then yeah!” He exclaimed with a smile.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She grinned and straightened his jacket and tie. “I think I can swing that.” She said as she led him towards her car. As they got in, she started the engine and slapped the transmission into gear. Tires squealing as she pulled out of the parking lot, she merged into traffic, and headed towards the Prometheus Club.

[schizophrenic-lust]

It was all a rush from there, the excitement of going to such a high class place and the fact that… for the most part Krystina seemed to appreciate his feelings for her. Although the whole confession was rudely interrupted by a group of very mean students. Either way… Colton was more interested in seeing how she felt than anything, after all he didn’t spend his allowance on tickets and a tuxedo for nothing.

“S-so what’s this place like exactly? I’ve only heard rumors really.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Well it’s the closest thing to pre-Rain fine dining that we have.” She admitted, “genuine hand crafted furnishings, not the prefabricated stuff most places has, and an atmosphere of elegance not often found in other post-Rain restaurants.” She smoothly pulled into the parking lot and shut off the engine. His feelings for her slightly complicated things, as well as her own growing feelings for him. He was hardly scrawny, and underneath that fur had a rather impressive physique, she knew that from their hours of her throwing him around like a rag doll. “Shall we?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

“We shall.” He spoke with a slightly snarky tone, getting out of the car first he immediately noticed the bright colors mixed with an almost sickening amount of white. It was a bit stranger but it was at least better than the usual brick and diners he got to eat at in his part of town. He was actually quite surprised with his strength when he actually got to training with her, especially considering the one time he won in a spar… mostly by pure luck but it was an improvement in his eyes.

“Whoa…reminds me of… what was it called? Some old 1990s movie… I don’t recall its name though.” He was basically thinking out loud but a response from Krystina wouldn’t hurt either.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I know what you mean,” she agreed, “before I first was brought here, I thought places like this didn’t exist anymore.”

The moment they entered, the host immediately came over and ushered them to a table, much to the consternation of several people who were waiting to be seated.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was quite surprised as she led him inside, club music was raging on one end of the building while the other was more relaxed with calmer music and a more simple colors. Following the waiter, Colton couldn’t help but notice the amount of people at the waiting area, clearly Krystina was important if she could get them in like this. And he let out a sigh of amazement they sat down. “W-wow… quite a restaurant. How many times have you been here?” Colton inquired with his ears perked up attentively clearly trying to start a conversation between the two now. This was ten times better than homecoming though!

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“About fifteen or twenty or so,” she said as she looked across the crisp linen tablecloth at him. “The General usually brings us here for special occasions.” She referred of course to her legal guardian, and godfather. She sipped from the water goblet that was filled nearly to the brim with ice cold lemon-water.

Homecoming hadn’t gone as well as she had wished it would, but at least her date was good company. She hardly cared if anyone else recognized that fact or not. “You know what really annoys me?” She asked suddenly, “look around us right now, how many dirty looks are we getting here… apart from those who have yet to be seated of course.” There weren’t any scowls of contempt or disgust from the others who were seated, nobody cared that they were together.

“Now, why can’t our classmates and the others at school be like this? Why do they have to be such immature jerks?” She sighed “sorry, I didn’t mean to dredge up something unpleasant… it just irritates me you know?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

The thought of her deploying scared Colton to the core as she mentioned her military family. He honestly didn’t know what he would do without Krystina, as far as he was concerned she was the only thing keeping himself from just ending it all… but with that depressing thought aside she was right about the people here, they did care… granted they didn’t know Colton or Krystina that well. “I don’t know but… none of that matters right now… it’s just you and me.” Colton smiled softly. He made a bit of a bold move as he reached across the table and linked his paw with her right hand. He hoped the intimacy would be known to Krystina… that she knew how much Colton cared for her. “You understand that… right?” Colton asked softly, a solid gaze looked back at Krystina’s icy blue eyes.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Yeah,” she grinned reaching up and undoing some of the pins that held her hair up in place. She let the platinum blonde tresses fall and shook her head so that they cascaded down her back like lightly curled waterfalls. She squeezed his paw softly, “just the two of us tonight,” it was not meant as there would be nothing after tonight, it sadly and quietly stated instead that come Monday, they would be back at their high-school and forced to share their time with others.

“But let’s relax, eat up, and enjoy each other’s company.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton shot a happy grin at the other… he was actually at peace for once… maybe even in love.

They left the expensive restaurant happy and laughing as they walked back to the care. He had a near permanent smile on his face and Krystina was actually looking like she wasn’t bothered anymore! If anything this was aiming to be the best night of his night… but it wasn’t even close to 11:00PM yet… that’s when his foster mom wanted Colton back.

“So… we have extra time if you want to do something else Krystina.” Colton suggested idly, not wanting to make the situation awkward.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

Perhaps it was the atmosphere, perhaps it was the food, or something in the food, but she felt unusually warm after their conversation over dinner. “I’m open to pretty much anything at this point Colton.” She said, resisting the urge to run her hands through his thick fur.

“Though it is kinda warm out here,” she opened the passenger door for him, perhaps the air conditioning would help matters.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton thought for a moment as he sat in the car, maybe… he could… yeah… maybe she would like that! So Colton leaned forward to the dashboard and began looking at the on screen map and touching a specific location. A cliff at the edge of the local park a tree sat snugly on top with an overview of the forest below. A pretty romantic spot and where Colton went to clear his thoughts during troubled times.

“I hope you don’t mind but… can we go here? I set it up on the G.P.S. for you Krystina… I don’t mind if you wanna go home though.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She slid behind the wheel and turned the key. The engine hummed to life and she threw the car into reverse. “Let’s ride.” She said with a grin, “I really don’t want to go back home just yet.” She had a reason of course their Guardian was still at the base, and she knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that Chris would have taken his date there for a ‘private after party’

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton had something similar in mind, not anything that a Krystina would resist but… he just wanted to show his affections. Still the thought of seeing Krystina in that bra one day had become… different over time… still he knew the drive wasn’t gonna be long so he took a deep breath and clasped Krystina’s free hand affectionately.

“I’ve… had a lot of fun tonight… I mean homecoming was kinda crappy but we made up for it right?”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She grinned over at him, he was right the evening had been fun. “Yeah, we did didn’t we?” She had made sure that the hand of hers that he had taken was palm down, his fingers holding the back of her hand. It wasn’t a gesture that indicated her opposition to it, she wasn’t opposed, she just needed to be able to shift.

Krystina followed the guide on the GPS, thankfully she had installed a voice patch to the system that eliminated the clearly artificial voice and replaced it with the voice of a pre-rain actor. A gentleman named M. Freeman.

When they reached the small but deserted parking area, she pulled in and shut off the engine.

“Looks like we’re here.” She said softly.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton watched the road and listened to the radio, it was pre-rain stuff of course. Stuff that Colton preferred too, this new age stuff was rather garbage in his opinion. Still he couldn’t help but wonder if he was making the right decision… confessing his love like this.

He walked out of the car and immediately walked over and sat under the tree, his eyes glued to the view on the edge of the cliff. The lights of the town and the neon from their high school homecoming still going on… it was a rather beautiful night actually.

“I… I hope you’ve had fun… even though homecoming didn’t work out… I haven’t really known how to tell you but… but…” Colton was left speachless… right w hen he was about to say the most important words of his life.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She had been gazing up at the stars but she turned her head to look at him. The moonlight caught the shimmering folds of her dress and made her skin appear almost luminous.

“We’ve been friends for a while now Colton, you can tell me anything.” She smiled at him, “breathe and say what’s on your mind.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Three dangerous words were on the verge of being said but he knew it could go both ways… even if they had fun. So he did as she said, he breathed and said exactly what was on his mind. Although he did take her hand in his paw as he spoke.

“I love you… Krystina… and I don’t have any doubts about it.” It was scary, this wasn’t some high school crush to him, this was someone he actually wanted to spend his days with! Hell maybe even… no that was looking too far ahead.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

Three words… three simple words. They held the impact potential of a Swift truck. Her cheeks darkened, the color somewhat washed out by the moonlight shining down from above. Her heart raced in her chest and she could only stammer at him. She had known about his feelings for her, but he had never come out and said it before. Her own feelings for him had been growing steadily over the past few months.

“I…” she tried to say something that would not make her sound like a fool, “I’m not sure, but…” damn she was bad at this. “I think… I think I might love you too.” She looked away, cheeks even darker. It was hard not to care about him after all the time they had spent together.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Those words... he never felt so complete in his entire life, nothing could replicate this moment. No words could describe how he felt, his heart had grown about ten times as it beat roughly in his chest. He could feel the weight of her words, he didn't know if she would care but... for once he took initiative.

His paw reached to her right cheek and turned her head towards his. He smiled nervously before leaning forward and planting a gentle kiss on her lips, clearly not wishing to invade the woman's privacy more than that.

"I think I'm the happiest man on earth right now." Colton said with a smile.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Sometimes, being a student in high school sucked. Krystina Sandoval, a Freshman at Henry J. Gloval High School found today to be one of those days. The leggy blonde hadn't even been able to get from the parking lot, where her older brother Christopher had parked, to her locker without hearing the catcalls.

“Hey buddy… trying to run again?” His voice was deep and booming like a volcano… it made Colton shiver at the mere sound of it.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She shook her head at him and smiled. “It’s our night Colton.” She amended his sentence. “And we are going to show these stuck-up, smarmy, morons excactly how much fun we can have.” She would have found it entertaining to simply start a brawl, but two things stopped her. Firstly; Colton had gotten much better as a fighter, but he wasn’t ready for something like that yet. Secondly; she looked far too stunning in this dress to risk ruining it with violence. She led him to the entrance and offered their tickets. The teacher taking them nodded once to them and let them pass. They entered the gymnasium and she looked around at all of the decorations and the people who were generally just milling about.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Her correction made him go silent, he found it hard to speak after that… he felt like she was spending more time taking care of him than he taking care of her. But she didn’t seem too bothered by that so he tried not to think about it.

He didn’t have a single shred of violence in his body, even with his self defense training. Of course he wouldn’t tell Krystina that but if the illusion of defense made her happy then so be it. Colton did leave her momentarily to grab the both of them punch… but she seemed too engrossed in the environment to care.

“Here, I thought you’d like this.” Colton said as he handed over her cup of punch.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She took the cup from him and gave him a warm smile. “Thank you.” She said softly. “Sorry if I come across as overbearing sometimes. One of the perks of being an Army Brat.” She mentally kicked herself for wearing these heels. I can’t dance in these, I’ll break my damned neck. She thought to herself.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton couldn’t dance anyway so it wasn’t like she was losing out on much. Still her military history only made him feel safer if he was being honest with himself.

“Well… I’ve never D-done this before so I’m not exactly sure what to do besides… well… dance… we can wait for something slower to come on if you like though Krystina.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I’ve never done this before either.” She admitted. She bent her knee back, and reached behind her to remove her shoe, then repeated the process with her left foot. “But I’m certain of one thing, if I try to dance in these death trap shoes, I’m likely to break my damned neck.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton couldn’t help but chuckle as she took her heels off, clearly she was dressed to impress a little too much at the moment. But at that moment a slow song played… it was definitely orchestral in nature but it served its purpose beautifully. That being to boost Colton’s confidence. So he offered the human her paw and gave his warmest smile.

“Y-you wouldn’t mind joining me on the dance floor would you?”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Not at all.” She replied, placing her hand in his paw. “Lead the way.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

And Colton did exactly that, leading her out near the center where it was surprisingly the most empty. He put both paws on her shoulder and slowly began to rock his hips to the harmonic tune. Clearly he enjoyed this type of music.

“H-honestly… if you don’t mind me confessing… I… I’ve been trying to find a way to ask you out since before we ran into each other… only I found out how much I needed you… I hope this doesn’t sound too sappy but… I… I really do love you…”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

Hearing his confession she felt her cheeks turn a bright red and shook her head to form a small curtain of her hair to hide it. “Did you hear that?” A disgusted grunt came from nearby, “the mongrel confessed to the ice princess. Maybe they’ll breed and have puppies.” The jeering continued for a moment, causing the muscles in the blonde’s cheek to twitch. “C-Colton, I don’t know what to say,” she had began to tell him when she paused and scowled. “Hold that thought for just one moment.” She gracefully extracted herself from his warm embrace and then spun around, her right arm held close to her chest until she snapped it outward, fist clenched to connect with the loudest and closest of the commenters. There was a loud crunch and then an agonized muffled cry as he fell to his side clutching his jaw where it met his ear. A glint of blue-steel seemed to shine on her hand for just a moment before she dropped her hand back to her purse. When she removed it her hand was normal once more. “Anybody else want to run their fucking mouths?” She paused, “I thought not.” Then she returned to her date and smoothly resumed their dance.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was definitely a little thrown off by the quick turn of events. The comments made him wish he hadn’t even said anything and the impending violence even made him wince. The quick flash of blue confused him though… what was that? Either way she returned back to their dance quickly enough and… well he was too flustered to continue his thoughts.

“I… I’m sorry if this came as a surprise… I shouldn’t have said anything.” His fears overcame him and he let go of her admittedly soft embrace. He then quickly paced away, pushing his way past other teens and humans… why was he such a goddamn disgrace?

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

The blonde shook her head as he ran from her and she let out a curse under her breath. She would never catch him in these death traps she wore on her feet. Carefully she kicked the shoes from her feet and hiked her dress up. Then with the murmuring crowd still parted in his wake, she ran after him. Bare feet slapping the tile floor with every step, she made her way towards where she had lost sight of him. “Why the hell does he run away?” She growled to herself, “Am I really that intimidating?” She stopped abruptly and took a deep lung full of air. “Colton!” She shouted, in her sharpest, most commanding voice, “where the hell did you run off to?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was doing the most cowardly place he could be, he was simply hiding in his locker, light whimpers of fear and tears could be heard emanating very close to Krystina.

“S-shut up… y-you’re no good Colton… you’ll ruin everything she strives for. You’re a useless d-distraction.” His anxiety seemed to have come to the point that he was verbally speaking for the voices in his head.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She froze in place hearing the whimpers and one sided argument from her left. There was no mistaking the voice, muffled as it may be. Quietly she padded over to the row of lockers and placed her ear next to the one that the sound was originating from. Clearly Colton was inside and he was obviously struggling with himself. She was unsure what to do to help him in this situation, didn’t know if she could say anything to him that would make things better… or if she would just make things worse. At long last, she gently rapped on the metal. “Are you just going to stay huddled in there all night?” She asked in a quiet voice. “I shouldn’t have made a scene back there, I’m sorry. I ruined everything.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

The lack of high heels definitely helped in her efforts to sneak up on the lockers. Still when she listened he would utter more self degrading things. Such as his whole life being a sham or maybe how much of a coward he was.

When her voice was heard however he went silent, obviously trying to hear what she had to say. When she finished… he gently pushed up the latch that held the locker closed. He stayed huddled for now but he gave Krystina eye contact.

“You S-shouldn’t be sorry… I shouldn’t have to put you through shit like this. I’m… not good enough for you… I’ll never be good enough for you but… I’m sorry I am such a coward.” Colton whimpered out before burying his muzzle into his tuxedo.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She laughed softly and reached into her purse to retrieve the item she had slipped out and back in. “You didn’t put me through anything,” she said in a soft and reassuring voice, “I’m not very well liked as it is in this school, and I’m quick on the trigger when it comes to using force.” She let the item fall to the floor with a heavy thunk. A pair of cobalt-blue steel knuckles. “Bought these for two reasons; first, because I expected trouble like what happened earlier, and two, they matched my dress.” She crept forward and stroked the fur atop his head softly, “what do you say we get out of here?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Her humor seemed to elicit a chuckle out of the mutt, his demeanor easing up a tad. So when he saw the steel knuckles… she definitely didn’t take any chances that’s for sure. The woman was tough as nails and definitely suited her to bring such a weapon.

Colton purred softly as his fur tufts were fiddled with, the feeling was quite pleasurable. He felt… loved… for once at least.

“Yeah… who needs prom when… we have each other right?” Colton said with a teared up smile.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

she chuckled and wiped the tears from his eyes. “True enough,” Krystina responded, “but this is only Homecoming, Prom is still a ways off and we’re gonna knock ‘em dead.”

an idea was forming in her mind, but she would need his help to pull it off.

[schizophrenic-lust]

True this was only homecoming… maybe they could knock this whole school dance out of the park next time. Colton then decided it was time to get out of his locker, especially considering he was mostly calmed down now.

“Y-yeah…” Colton then climbed out of the locker, His form seeming a little hunched from being closed inside his locker.

“S-so… where are we going? Mrs. Kibbs isn’t expecting us until at least until Eleven.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I’m thinking the Prometheus Club would be a good place to eat.” She said with a grin. It was the best and most exclusive restaurant in Monument City, almost impossible to get a table without a three month reservation. Fortunately, her and her siblings guardian was a Lieutenant General in the Southern Cross Military and the brother of the owner, thereby having a standing reservation.

[schizophrenic-lust]

His eyes widened with interest as she suggested possibly the most impressive building in the city. But how was she gonna pay for them? Better yet would he have to give his whole confession another shot? Cause he wasn’t exactly sure his nerves would hold out this time.

“W-what… I mean if you have a way in then yeah!” He exclaimed with a smile.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She grinned and straightened his jacket and tie. “I think I can swing that.” She said as she led him towards her car. As they got in, she started the engine and slapped the transmission into gear. Tires squealing as she pulled out of the parking lot, she merged into traffic, and headed towards the Prometheus Club.

[schizophrenic-lust]

It was all a rush from there, the excitement of going to such a high class place and the fact that… for the most part Krystina seemed to appreciate his feelings for her. Although the whole confession was rudely interrupted by a group of very mean students. Either way… Colton was more interested in seeing how she felt than anything, after all he didn’t spend his allowance on tickets and a tuxedo for nothing.

“S-so what’s this place like exactly? I’ve only heard rumors really.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Well it’s the closest thing to pre-Rain fine dining that we have.” She admitted, “genuine hand crafted furnishings, not the prefabricated stuff most places has, and an atmosphere of elegance not often found in other post-Rain restaurants.” She smoothly pulled into the parking lot and shut off the engine. His feelings for her slightly complicated things, as well as her own growing feelings for him. He was hardly scrawny, and underneath that fur had a rather impressive physique, she knew that from their hours of her throwing him around like a rag doll. “Shall we?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

“We shall.” He spoke with a slightly snarky tone, getting out of the car first he immediately noticed the bright colors mixed with an almost sickening amount of white. It was a bit stranger but it was at least better than the usual brick and diners he got to eat at in his part of town. He was actually quite surprised with his strength when he actually got to training with her, especially considering the one time he won in a spar… mostly by pure luck but it was an improvement in his eyes.

“Whoa…reminds me of… what was it called? Some old 1990s movie… I don’t recall its name though.” He was basically thinking out loud but a response from Krystina wouldn’t hurt either.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I know what you mean,” she agreed, “before I first was brought here, I thought places like this didn’t exist anymore.”

The moment they entered, the host immediately came over and ushered them to a table, much to the consternation of several people who were waiting to be seated.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was quite surprised as she led him inside, club music was raging on one end of the building while the other was more relaxed with calmer music and a more simple colors. Following the waiter, Colton couldn’t help but notice the amount of people at the waiting area, clearly Krystina was important if she could get them in like this. And he let out a sigh of amazement they sat down. “W-wow… quite a restaurant. How many times have you been here?” Colton inquired with his ears perked up attentively clearly trying to start a conversation between the two now. This was ten times better than homecoming though!

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“About fifteen or twenty or so,” she said as she looked across the crisp linen tablecloth at him. “The General usually brings us here for special occasions.” She referred of course to her legal guardian, and godfather. She sipped from the water goblet that was filled nearly to the brim with ice cold lemon-water.

Homecoming hadn’t gone as well as she had wished it would, but at least her date was good company. She hardly cared if anyone else recognized that fact or not. “You know what really annoys me?” She asked suddenly, “look around us right now, how many dirty looks are we getting here… apart from those who have yet to be seated of course.” There weren’t any scowls of contempt or disgust from the others who were seated, nobody cared that they were together.

“Now, why can’t our classmates and the others at school be like this? Why do they have to be such immature jerks?” She sighed “sorry, I didn’t mean to dredge up something unpleasant… it just irritates me you know?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

The thought of her deploying scared Colton to the core as she mentioned her military family. He honestly didn’t know what he would do without Krystina, as far as he was concerned she was the only thing keeping himself from just ending it all… but with that depressing thought aside she was right about the people here, they did care… granted they didn’t know Colton or Krystina that well. “I don’t know but… none of that matters right now… it’s just you and me.” Colton smiled softly. He made a bit of a bold move as he reached across the table and linked his paw with her right hand. He hoped the intimacy would be known to Krystina… that she knew how much Colton cared for her. “You understand that… right?” Colton asked softly, a solid gaze looked back at Krystina’s icy blue eyes.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Yeah,” she grinned reaching up and undoing some of the pins that held her hair up in place. She let the platinum blonde tresses fall and shook her head so that they cascaded down her back like lightly curled waterfalls. She squeezed his paw softly, “just the two of us tonight,” it was not meant as there would be nothing after tonight, it sadly and quietly stated instead that come Monday, they would be back at their high-school and forced to share their time with others.

“But let’s relax, eat up, and enjoy each other’s company.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton shot a happy grin at the other… he was actually at peace for once… maybe even in love.

They left the expensive restaurant happy and laughing as they walked back to the care. He had a near permanent smile on his face and Krystina was actually looking like she wasn’t bothered anymore! If anything this was aiming to be the best night of his night… but it wasn’t even close to 11:00PM yet… that’s when his foster mom wanted Colton back.

“So… we have extra time if you want to do something else Krystina.” Colton suggested idly, not wanting to make the situation awkward.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

Perhaps it was the atmosphere, perhaps it was the food, or something in the food, but she felt unusually warm after their conversation over dinner. “I’m open to pretty much anything at this point Colton.” She said, resisting the urge to run her hands through his thick fur.

“Though it is kinda warm out here,” she opened the passenger door for him, perhaps the air conditioning would help matters.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton thought for a moment as he sat in the car, maybe… he could… yeah… maybe she would like that! So Colton leaned forward to the dashboard and began looking at the on screen map and touching a specific location. A cliff at the edge of the local park a tree sat snugly on top with an overview of the forest below. A pretty romantic spot and where Colton went to clear his thoughts during troubled times.

“I hope you don’t mind but… can we go here? I set it up on the G.P.S. for you Krystina… I don’t mind if you wanna go home though.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She slid behind the wheel and turned the key. The engine hummed to life and she threw the car into reverse. “Let’s ride.” She said with a grin, “I really don’t want to go back home just yet.” She had a reason of course their Guardian was still at the base, and she knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that Chris would have taken his date there for a ‘private after party’

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton had something similar in mind, not anything that a Krystina would resist but… he just wanted to show his affections. Still the thought of seeing Krystina in that bra one day had become… different over time… still he knew the drive wasn’t gonna be long so he took a deep breath and clasped Krystina’s free hand affectionately.

“I’ve… had a lot of fun tonight… I mean homecoming was kinda crappy but we made up for it right?”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She grinned over at him, he was right the evening had been fun. “Yeah, we did didn’t we?” She had made sure that the hand of hers that he had taken was palm down, his fingers holding the back of her hand. It wasn’t a gesture that indicated her opposition to it, she wasn’t opposed, she just needed to be able to shift.

Krystina followed the guide on the GPS, thankfully she had installed a voice patch to the system that eliminated the clearly artificial voice and replaced it with the voice of a pre-rain actor. A gentleman named M. Freeman.

When they reached the small but deserted parking area, she pulled in and shut off the engine.

“Looks like we’re here.” She said softly.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton watched the road and listened to the radio, it was pre-rain stuff of course. Stuff that Colton preferred too, this new age stuff was rather garbage in his opinion. Still he couldn’t help but wonder if he was making the right decision… confessing his love like this.

He walked out of the car and immediately walked over and sat under the tree, his eyes glued to the view on the edge of the cliff. The lights of the town and the neon from their high school homecoming still going on… it was a rather beautiful night actually.

“I… I hope you’ve had fun… even though homecoming didn’t work out… I haven’t really known how to tell you but… but…” Colton was left speachless… right w hen he was about to say the most important words of his life.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She had been gazing up at the stars but she turned her head to look at him. The moonlight caught the shimmering folds of her dress and made her skin appear almost luminous.

“We’ve been friends for a while now Colton, you can tell me anything.” She smiled at him, “breathe and say what’s on your mind.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Three dangerous words were on the verge of being said but he knew it could go both ways... even if they had fun. So he did as she said, he breathed and said exactly what was on his mind. Although he did take her hand in his paw as he spoke.

"I love you... Krystina... and I don't have any doubts about it." It was scary, this wasn't some high school crush to him, this was someone he actually wanted to spend his days with! Hell maybe even... no that was looking too far ahead.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Sometimes, being a student in high school sucked. Krystina Sandoval, a Freshman at Henry J. Gloval High School found today to be one of those days. The leggy blonde hadn't even been able to get from the parking lot, where her older brother Christopher had parked, to her locker without hearing the catcalls. The books she needed held in one arm across her chest, she slammed her locker door closed and began to stalk down the hall. Turning a corner, she smacked face first into someone's chest.

Colton was panting as he ran the opposite direction. Butch and his cronies were right behind him at the moment and he wasn’t gonna be anywhere near them in the next… ah crap.

“Oof!” Colton felt the air get knocked out of his lungs as he collided with the fellow student, he fell onto his rear and put his paw to his face.

“S-sorry!” Colton muttered out before he felt an aggressive hand on his shoulder. Slowly he looked up to see butch… the man was a mountain, he stood at a whopping 6'6 and Colton didn’t want to guess the man’s weight.

“Hey buddy… trying to run again?” His voice was deep and booming like a volcano… it made Colton shiver at the mere sound of it.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She shook her head at him and smiled. “It’s our night Colton.” She amended his sentence. “And we are going to show these stuck-up, smarmy, morons excactly how much fun we can have.” She would have found it entertaining to simply start a brawl, but two things stopped her. Firstly; Colton had gotten much better as a fighter, but he wasn’t ready for something like that yet. Secondly; she looked far too stunning in this dress to risk ruining it with violence. She led him to the entrance and offered their tickets. The teacher taking them nodded once to them and let them pass.

Colton did leave her momentarily to grab the both of them punch… but she seemed too engrossed in the environment to care.

“Here, I thought you’d like this.” Colton said as he handed over her cup of punch.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She took the cup from him and gave him a warm smile. “Thank you.” She said softly. “Sorry if I come across as overbearing sometimes. One of the perks of being an Army Brat.” She mentally kicked herself for wearing these heels. I can’t dance in these, I’ll break my damned neck. She thought to herself.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Not at all.” She replied, placing her hand in his paw. “Lead the way.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

And Colton did exactly that, leading her out near the center where it was surprisingly the most empty. He put both paws on her shoulder and slowly began to rock his hips to the harmonic tune. Clearly he enjoyed this type of music.

“H-honestly… if you don’t mind me confessing… I… I’ve been trying to find a way to ask you out since before we ran into each other… only I found out how much I needed you… I hope this doesn’t sound too sappy but… I… I really do love you…”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

Colton was doing the most cowardly place he could be, he was simply hiding in his locker, light whimpers of fear and tears could be heard emanating very close to Krystina.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Well it’s the closest thing to pre-Rain fine dining that we have.” She admitted, “genuine hand crafted furnishings, not the prefabricated stuff most places has, and an atmosphere of elegance not often found in other post-Rain restaurants.” She smoothly pulled into the parking lot and shut off the engine. His feelings for her slightly complicated things, as well as her own growing feelings for him. He was hardly scrawny, and underneath that fur had a rather impressive physique, she knew that from their hours of her throwing him around like a rag doll. “Shall we?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

“We shall.” He spoke with a slightly snarky tone, getting out of the car first he immediately noticed the bright colors mixed with an almost sickening amount of white. It was a bit stranger but it was at least better than the usual brick and diners he got to eat at in his part of town. He was actually quite surprised with his strength when he actually got to training with her, especially considering the one time he won in a spar… mostly by pure luck but it was an improvement in his eyes.

“Whoa…reminds me of… what was it called? Some old 1990s movie… I don’t recall its name though.” He was basically thinking out loud but a response from Krystina wouldn’t hurt either.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I know what you mean,” she agreed, “before I first was brought here, I thought places like this didn’t exist anymore.”

The moment they entered, the host immediately came over and ushered them to a table, much to the consternation of several people who were waiting to be seated.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was quite surprised as she led him inside, club music was raging on one end of the building while the other was more relaxed with calmer music and a more simple colors. Following the waiter, Colton couldn’t help but notice the amount of people at the waiting area, clearly Krystina was important if she could get them in like this. And he let out a sigh of amazement they sat down. “W-wow… quite a restaurant. How many times have you been here?” Colton inquired with his ears perked up attentively clearly trying to start a conversation between the two now. This was ten times better than homecoming though!

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“About fifteen or twenty or so,” she said as she looked across the crisp linen tablecloth at him. “The General usually brings us here for special occasions.” She referred of course to her legal guardian, and godfather. She sipped from the water goblet that was filled nearly to the brim with ice cold lemon-water.

Homecoming hadn’t gone as well as she had wished it would, but at least her date was good company. She hardly cared if anyone else recognized that fact or not. “You know what really annoys me?” She asked suddenly, “look around us right now, how many dirty looks are we getting here… apart from those who have yet to be seated of course.” There weren’t any scowls of contempt or disgust from the others who were seated, nobody cared that they were together.

“Now, why can’t our classmates and the others at school be like this? Why do they have to be such immature jerks?” She sighed “sorry, I didn’t mean to dredge up something unpleasant… it just irritates me you know?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

The thought of her deploying scared Colton to the core as she mentioned her military family. He honestly didn’t know what he would do without Krystina, as far as he was concerned she was the only thing keeping himself from just ending it all… but with that depressing thought aside she was right about the people here, they did care… granted they didn’t know Colton or Krystina that well. “I don’t know but… none of that matters right now… it’s just you and me.” Colton smiled softly. He made a bit of a bold move as he reached across the table and linked his paw with her right hand. He hoped the intimacy would be known to Krystina… that she knew how much Colton cared for her. “You understand that… right?” Colton asked softly, a solid gaze looked back at Krystina’s icy blue eyes.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Yeah,” she grinned reaching up and undoing some of the pins that held her hair up in place. She let the platinum blonde tresses fall and shook her head so that they cascaded down her back like lightly curled waterfalls. She squeezed his paw softly, “just the two of us tonight,” it was not meant as there would be nothing after tonight, it sadly and quietly stated instead that come Monday, they would be back at their high-school and forced to share their time with others.

“But let’s relax, eat up, and enjoy each other’s company.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton shot a happy grin at the other… he was actually at peace for once… maybe even in love.

They left the expensive restaurant happy and laughing as they walked back to the care. He had a near permanent smile on his face and Krystina was actually looking like she wasn’t bothered anymore! If anything this was aiming to be the best night of his night… but it wasn’t even close to 11:00PM yet… that’s when his foster mom wanted Colton back.

“So… we have extra time if you want to do something else Krystina.” Colton suggested idly, not wanting to make the situation awkward.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

Perhaps it was the atmosphere, perhaps it was the food, or something in the food, but she felt unusually warm after their conversation over dinner. “I’m open to pretty much anything at this point Colton.” She said, resisting the urge to run her hands through his thick fur.

“Though it is kinda warm out here,” she opened the passenger door for him, perhaps the air conditioning would help matters.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton thought for a moment as he sat in the car, maybe… he could… yeah… maybe she would like that! So Colton leaned forward to the dashboard and began looking at the on screen map and touching a specific location. A cliff at the edge of the local park a tree sat snugly on top with an overview of the forest below. A pretty romantic spot and where Colton went to clear his thoughts during troubled times.

“I hope you don’t mind but… can we go here? I set it up on the G.P.S. for you Krystina… I don’t mind if you wanna go home though.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She slid behind the wheel and turned the key. The engine hummed to life and she threw the car into reverse. “Let’s ride.” She said with a grin, “I really don’t want to go back home just yet.” She had a reason of course their Guardian was still at the base, and she knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that Chris would have taken his date there for a ‘private after party’

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton had something similar in mind, not anything that a Krystina would resist but… he just wanted to show his affections. Still the thought of seeing Krystina in that bra one day had become… different over time… still he knew the drive wasn’t gonna be long so he took a deep breath and clasped Krystina’s free hand affectionately.

“I’ve… had a lot of fun tonight… I mean homecoming was kinda crappy but we made up for it right?”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She grinned over at him, he was right the evening had been fun. “Yeah, we did didn’t we?” She had made sure that the hand of hers that he had taken was palm down, his fingers holding the back of her hand. It wasn’t a gesture that indicated her opposition to it, she wasn’t opposed, she just needed to be able to shift.

Krystina followed the guide on the GPS, thankfully she had installed a voice patch to the system that eliminated the clearly artificial voice and replaced it with the voice of a pre-rain actor. A gentleman named M. Freeman.

When they reached the small but deserted parking area, she pulled in and shut off the engine.

“Looks like we’re here.” She said softly.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton watched the road and listened to the radio, it was pre-rain stuff of course. Stuff that Colton preferred too, this new age stuff was rather garbage in his opinion. Still he couldn't help but wonder if he was making the right decision... confessing his love like this.

He walked out of the car and immediately walked over and sat under the tree, his eyes glued to the view on the edge of the cliff. The lights of the town and the neon from their high school homecoming still going on... it was a rather beautiful night actually.

"I... I hope you've had fun... even though homecoming didn't work out... I haven't really known how to tell you but... but..." Colton was left speachless... right w hen he was about to say the most important words of his life.

[legends-of-a-captain]

《ℒ⛊》 When Colton got in, Lance swims to him and then wraps his arms around him with a smile, looking into the eyes of his lover and then gave him a kiss. He wanted to savor this momnet with him until Cynder shows up and wanted him all to himself in the mean while. His cock was back up again and then winks at him.  

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was a little surprised when he resurfaced to see Lance reaching out to him, but he didn’t resist. Colton simply swayed into his arms and leaned his head into the other’s chest. His eyes closed in comfort. But he could definitely feel the other’s cock poking his thigh, and that made Colton smirk.

“W-wanna try it out here where the water’s deep? I think that sounds fun.” Colton suggested.

[legends-of-a-captain]

《ℒ⛊》 “Nah. I wanted to tease you right now and get you warmed you.” He said with a smile and then kisses his nose. Once the dragon was done teasing him, Lance pulled away and then leans on the side with him and then was waiting for the queen to come here. He was rather happy that she was going to join them. 

[schizophrenic-lust]

The idea of a threesome with the queen herself was extremely arousing but Colton was a little bit concerned about whom the queen would be interested in? The hunky dragon or the skinny Coyote? Either way, Colton was sure that he would at least get a very good view.

"You tease... you know I love you right? This is just a physical meeting after all." Colton clarified since he did have privacy with his lover.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Sometimes, being a student in high school sucked. Krystina Sandoval, a Freshman at Henry J. Gloval High School found today to be one of those days. The leggy blonde hadn't even been able to get from the parking lot, where her older brother Christopher had parked, to her locker without hearing the catcalls. The books she needed held in one arm across her chest, she slammed her locker door closed and began to stalk down the hall. Turning a corner, she smacked face first into someone's chest.

Colton was panting as he ran the opposite direction. Butch and his cronies were right behind him at the moment and he wasn’t gonna be anywhere near them in the next… ah crap.

“Oof!” Colton felt the air get knocked out of his lungs as he collided with the fellow student, he fell onto his rear and put his paw to his face.

“S-sorry!” Colton muttered out before he felt an aggressive hand on his shoulder. Slowly he looked up to see butch… the man was a mountain, he stood at a whopping 6'6 and Colton didn’t want to guess the man’s weight.

“Hey buddy… trying to run again?” His voice was deep and booming like a volcano… it made Colton shiver at the mere sound of it.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She shook her head at him and smiled. “It’s our night Colton.” She amended his sentence. “And we are going to show these stuck-up, smarmy, morons excactly how much fun we can have.” She would have found it entertaining to simply start a brawl, but two things stopped her. Firstly; Colton had gotten much better as a fighter, but he wasn’t ready for something like that yet. Secondly; she looked far too stunning in this dress to risk ruining it with violence. She led him to the entrance and offered their tickets. The teacher taking them nodded once to them and let them pass. They entered the gymnasium and she looked around at all of the decorations and the people who were generally just milling about.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Her correction made him go silent, he found it hard to speak after that… he felt like she was spending more time taking care of him than he taking care of her. But she didn’t seem too bothered by that so he tried not to think about it.

He didn’t have a single shred of violence in his body, even with his self defense training. Of course he wouldn’t tell Krystina that but if the illusion of defense made her happy then so be it. Colton did leave her momentarily to grab the both of them punch… but she seemed too engrossed in the environment to care.

“Here, I thought you’d like this.” Colton said as he handed over her cup of punch.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She took the cup from him and gave him a warm smile. “Thank you.” She said softly. “Sorry if I come across as overbearing sometimes. One of the perks of being an Army Brat.” She mentally kicked herself for wearing these heels. I can’t dance in these, I’ll break my damned neck. She thought to herself.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton couldn’t dance anyway so it wasn’t like she was losing out on much. Still her military history only made him feel safer if he was being honest with himself.

“Well… I’ve never D-done this before so I’m not exactly sure what to do besides… well… dance… we can wait for something slower to come on if you like though Krystina.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I’ve never done this before either.” She admitted. She bent her knee back, and reached behind her to remove her shoe, then repeated the process with her left foot. “But I’m certain of one thing, if I try to dance in these death trap shoes, I’m likely to break my damned neck.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton couldn’t help but chuckle as she took her heels off, clearly she was dressed to impress a little too much at the moment. But at that moment a slow song played… it was definitely orchestral in nature but it served its purpose beautifully. That being to boost Colton’s confidence. So he offered the human her paw and gave his warmest smile.

“Y-you wouldn’t mind joining me on the dance floor would you?”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Not at all.” She replied, placing her hand in his paw. “Lead the way.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

And Colton did exactly that, leading her out near the center where it was surprisingly the most empty. He put both paws on her shoulder and slowly began to rock his hips to the harmonic tune. Clearly he enjoyed this type of music.

“H-honestly… if you don’t mind me confessing… I… I’ve been trying to find a way to ask you out since before we ran into each other… only I found out how much I needed you… I hope this doesn’t sound too sappy but… I… I really do love you…”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

Hearing his confession she felt her cheeks turn a bright red and shook her head to form a small curtain of her hair to hide it. “Did you hear that?” A disgusted grunt came from nearby, “the mongrel confessed to the ice princess. Maybe they’ll breed and have puppies.” The jeering continued for a moment, causing the muscles in the blonde’s cheek to twitch. “C-Colton, I don’t know what to say,” she had began to tell him when she paused and scowled. “Hold that thought for just one moment.” She gracefully extracted herself from his warm embrace and then spun around, her right arm held close to her chest until she snapped it outward, fist clenched to connect with the loudest and closest of the commenters. There was a loud crunch and then an agonized muffled cry as he fell to his side clutching his jaw where it met his ear. A glint of blue-steel seemed to shine on her hand for just a moment before she dropped her hand back to her purse. When she removed it her hand was normal once more. “Anybody else want to run their fucking mouths?” She paused, “I thought not.” Then she returned to her date and smoothly resumed their dance.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was definitely a little thrown off by the quick turn of events. The comments made him wish he hadn’t even said anything and the impending violence even made him wince. The quick flash of blue confused him though… what was that? Either way she returned back to their dance quickly enough and… well he was too flustered to continue his thoughts.

“I… I’m sorry if this came as a surprise… I shouldn’t have said anything.” His fears overcame him and he let go of her admittedly soft embrace. He then quickly paced away, pushing his way past other teens and humans… why was he such a goddamn disgrace?

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

The blonde shook her head as he ran from her and she let out a curse under her breath. She would never catch him in these death traps she wore on her feet. Carefully she kicked the shoes from her feet and hiked her dress up. Then with the murmuring crowd still parted in his wake, she ran after him. Bare feet slapping the tile floor with every step, she made her way towards where she had lost sight of him. “Why the hell does he run away?” She growled to herself, “Am I really that intimidating?” She stopped abruptly and took a deep lung full of air. “Colton!” She shouted, in her sharpest, most commanding voice, “where the hell did you run off to?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was doing the most cowardly place he could be, he was simply hiding in his locker, light whimpers of fear and tears could be heard emanating very close to Krystina.

“S-shut up… y-you’re no good Colton… you’ll ruin everything she strives for. You’re a useless d-distraction.” His anxiety seemed to have come to the point that he was verbally speaking for the voices in his head.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She froze in place hearing the whimpers and one sided argument from her left. There was no mistaking the voice, muffled as it may be. Quietly she padded over to the row of lockers and placed her ear next to the one that the sound was originating from. Clearly Colton was inside and he was obviously struggling with himself. She was unsure what to do to help him in this situation, didn’t know if she could say anything to him that would make things better… or if she would just make things worse. At long last, she gently rapped on the metal. “Are you just going to stay huddled in there all night?” She asked in a quiet voice. “I shouldn’t have made a scene back there, I’m sorry. I ruined everything.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

The lack of high heels definitely helped in her efforts to sneak up on the lockers. Still when she listened he would utter more self degrading things. Such as his whole life being a sham or maybe how much of a coward he was.

When her voice was heard however he went silent, obviously trying to hear what she had to say. When she finished… he gently pushed up the latch that held the locker closed. He stayed huddled for now but he gave Krystina eye contact.

“You S-shouldn’t be sorry… I shouldn’t have to put you through shit like this. I’m… not good enough for you… I’ll never be good enough for you but… I’m sorry I am such a coward.” Colton whimpered out before burying his muzzle into his tuxedo.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She laughed softly and reached into her purse to retrieve the item she had slipped out and back in. “You didn’t put me through anything,” she said in a soft and reassuring voice, “I’m not very well liked as it is in this school, and I’m quick on the trigger when it comes to using force.” She let the item fall to the floor with a heavy thunk. A pair of cobalt-blue steel knuckles. “Bought these for two reasons; first, because I expected trouble like what happened earlier, and two, they matched my dress.” She crept forward and stroked the fur atop his head softly, “what do you say we get out of here?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Her humor seemed to elicit a chuckle out of the mutt, his demeanor easing up a tad. So when he saw the steel knuckles… she definitely didn’t take any chances that’s for sure. The woman was tough as nails and definitely suited her to bring such a weapon.

Colton purred softly as his fur tufts were fiddled with, the feeling was quite pleasurable. He felt… loved… for once at least.

“Yeah… who needs prom when… we have each other right?” Colton said with a teared up smile.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

she chuckled and wiped the tears from his eyes. “True enough,” Krystina responded, “but this is only Homecoming, Prom is still a ways off and we’re gonna knock ‘em dead.”

an idea was forming in her mind, but she would need his help to pull it off.

[schizophrenic-lust]

True this was only homecoming… maybe they could knock this whole school dance out of the park next time. Colton then decided it was time to get out of his locker, especially considering he was mostly calmed down now.

“Y-yeah…” Colton then climbed out of the locker, His form seeming a little hunched from being closed inside his locker.

“S-so… where are we going? Mrs. Kibbs isn’t expecting us until at least until Eleven.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I’m thinking the Prometheus Club would be a good place to eat.” She said with a grin. It was the best and most exclusive restaurant in Monument City, almost impossible to get a table without a three month reservation. Fortunately, her and her siblings guardian was a Lieutenant General in the Southern Cross Military and the brother of the owner, thereby having a standing reservation.

[schizophrenic-lust]

His eyes widened with interest as she suggested possibly the most impressive building in the city. But how was she gonna pay for them? Better yet would he have to give his whole confession another shot? Cause he wasn’t exactly sure his nerves would hold out this time.

“W-what… I mean if you have a way in then yeah!” He exclaimed with a smile.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She grinned and straightened his jacket and tie. “I think I can swing that.” She said as she led him towards her car. As they got in, she started the engine and slapped the transmission into gear. Tires squealing as she pulled out of the parking lot, she merged into traffic, and headed towards the Prometheus Club.

[schizophrenic-lust]

It was all a rush from there, the excitement of going to such a high class place and the fact that… for the most part Krystina seemed to appreciate his feelings for her. Although the whole confession was rudely interrupted by a group of very mean students. Either way… Colton was more interested in seeing how she felt than anything, after all he didn’t spend his allowance on tickets and a tuxedo for nothing.

“S-so what’s this place like exactly? I’ve only heard rumors really.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Well it’s the closest thing to pre-Rain fine dining that we have.” She admitted, “genuine hand crafted furnishings, not the prefabricated stuff most places has, and an atmosphere of elegance not often found in other post-Rain restaurants.” She smoothly pulled into the parking lot and shut off the engine.

[legends-of-a-captain]

Continuing from a previous thread. (In arms of a dragon)

《ℒ⛊》”Yeah, we should go there now before she changes her mind.” Lance was putting his pants on and then he opens the door, looking around for the cost to be clear and then he starts walking to the door at the end of the hallway that they were in. There was a door and steam was coming out from the side. 

@schizophrenic-lust

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton had wiped his muzzle off with a wet towel before following Lance, he didn’t want anyone smelling Lance’s musk so profoundly at the moment. But once they reached door, the heat from the steam could be felt even from a couple yards away! The door was slightly ajar with heat, humidity, and steam emanating from the slight crack… that was probably the hot springs. “So anything I need to know before we go in?” Colton inquired.

[legends-of-a-captain]

《ℒ⛊》 “No. Just give her a nice ass slap when you see her okay? She really likes it and it gets her in the mood.” He said and then smiles and then opens the door and on the other side was the spring and in the middle was a rock letting out a small waterfall of hot water. He then walks in but Cynder was not in there. He then strips off his cloths and then put his toe in the water first and then dips in with a smile. 

[schizophrenic-lust]

Lance's words were... surprising... it seemed Colton's intentions about the event was true. Still he couldn't help at the thought of spanking a queen... but thankfully she wasn't there. However the hot springs were and it only took Colton mere moments to strip down and throw himself headfirst into the water.

He wasn't disappointed, it was very hot but the moisture seemed to be what saved him from overheating. No need to sweat when you're in water after all. "Holy crap this water is amazing!" Colton exclaimed.

[schizophrenic-lust]

“Hey buddy… trying to run again?” His voice was deep and booming like a volcano… it made Colton shiver at the mere sound of it.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She shook her head at him and smiled. “It’s our night Colton.” She amended his sentence. “And we are going to show these stuck-up, smarmy, morons excactly how much fun we can have.” She would have found it entertaining to simply start a brawl, but two things stopped her. Firstly; Colton had gotten much better as a fighter, but he wasn’t ready for something like that yet. Secondly; she looked far too stunning in this dress to risk ruining it with violence. She led him to the entrance and offered their tickets. The teacher taking them nodded once to them and let them pass. They entered the gymnasium and she looked around at all of the decorations and the people who were generally just milling about.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Her correction made him go silent, he found it hard to speak after that… he felt like she was spending more time taking care of him than he taking care of her. But she didn’t seem too bothered by that so he tried not to think about it.

He didn’t have a single shred of violence in his body, even with his self defense training. Of course he wouldn’t tell Krystina that but if the illusion of defense made her happy then so be it. Colton did leave her momentarily to grab the both of them punch… but she seemed too engrossed in the environment to care.

“Here, I thought you’d like this.” Colton said as he handed over her cup of punch.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She took the cup from him and gave him a warm smile. “Thank you.” She said softly. “Sorry if I come across as overbearing sometimes. One of the perks of being an Army Brat.” She mentally kicked herself for wearing these heels. I can’t dance in these, I’ll break my damned neck. She thought to herself.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton couldn’t dance anyway so it wasn’t like she was losing out on much. Still her military history only made him feel safer if he was being honest with himself.

“Well… I’ve never D-done this before so I’m not exactly sure what to do besides… well… dance… we can wait for something slower to come on if you like though Krystina.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I’ve never done this before either.” She admitted. She bent her knee back, and reached behind her to remove her shoe, then repeated the process with her left foot. “But I’m certain of one thing, if I try to dance in these death trap shoes, I’m likely to break my damned neck.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton couldn’t help but chuckle as she took her heels off, clearly she was dressed to impress a little too much at the moment. But at that moment a slow song played… it was definitely orchestral in nature but it served its purpose beautifully. That being to boost Colton’s confidence. So he offered the human her paw and gave his warmest smile.

“Y-you wouldn’t mind joining me on the dance floor would you?”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Not at all.” She replied, placing her hand in his paw. “Lead the way.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

And Colton did exactly that, leading her out near the center where it was surprisingly the most empty. He put both paws on her shoulder and slowly began to rock his hips to the harmonic tune. Clearly he enjoyed this type of music.

“H-honestly… if you don’t mind me confessing… I… I’ve been trying to find a way to ask you out since before we ran into each other… only I found out how much I needed you… I hope this doesn’t sound too sappy but… I… I really do love you…”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

Hearing his confession she felt her cheeks turn a bright red and shook her head to form a small curtain of her hair to hide it. “Did you hear that?” A disgusted grunt came from nearby, “the mongrel confessed to the ice princess. Maybe they’ll breed and have puppies.” The jeering continued for a moment, causing the muscles in the blonde’s cheek to twitch. “C-Colton, I don’t know what to say,” she had began to tell him when she paused and scowled. “Hold that thought for just one moment.” She gracefully extracted herself from his warm embrace and then spun around, her right arm held close to her chest until she snapped it outward, fist clenched to connect with the loudest and closest of the commenters. There was a loud crunch and then an agonized muffled cry as he fell to his side clutching his jaw where it met his ear. A glint of blue-steel seemed to shine on her hand for just a moment before she dropped her hand back to her purse. When she removed it her hand was normal once more. “Anybody else want to run their fucking mouths?” She paused, “I thought not.” Then she returned to her date and smoothly resumed their dance.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was definitely a little thrown off by the quick turn of events. The comments made him wish he hadn’t even said anything and the impending violence even made him wince. The quick flash of blue confused him though… what was that? Either way she returned back to their dance quickly enough and… well he was too flustered to continue his thoughts.

“I… I’m sorry if this came as a surprise… I shouldn’t have said anything.” His fears overcame him and he let go of her admittedly soft embrace. He then quickly paced away, pushing his way past other teens and humans… why was he such a goddamn disgrace?

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

The blonde shook her head as he ran from her and she let out a curse under her breath. She would never catch him in these death traps she wore on her feet. Carefully she kicked the shoes from her feet and hiked her dress up. Then with the murmuring crowd still parted in his wake, she ran after him. Bare feet slapping the tile floor with every step, she made her way towards where she had lost sight of him. “Why the hell does he run away?” She growled to herself, “Am I really that intimidating?” She stopped abruptly and took a deep lung full of air. “Colton!” She shouted, in her sharpest, most commanding voice, “where the hell did you run off to?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was doing the most cowardly place he could be, he was simply hiding in his locker, light whimpers of fear and tears could be heard emanating very close to Krystina.

“S-shut up… y-you’re no good Colton… you’ll ruin everything she strives for. You’re a useless d-distraction.” His anxiety seemed to have come to the point that he was verbally speaking for the voices in his head.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She froze in place hearing the whimpers and one sided argument from her left. There was no mistaking the voice, muffled as it may be. Quietly she padded over to the row of lockers and placed her ear next to the one that the sound was originating from. Clearly Colton was inside and he was obviously struggling with himself. She was unsure what to do to help him in this situation, didn’t know if she could say anything to him that would make things better… or if she would just make things worse. At long last, she gently rapped on the metal. “Are you just going to stay huddled in there all night?” She asked in a quiet voice. “I shouldn’t have made a scene back there, I’m sorry. I ruined everything.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

The lack of high heels definitely helped in her efforts to sneak up on the lockers. Still when she listened he would utter more self degrading things. Such as his whole life being a sham or maybe how much of a coward he was.

When her voice was heard however he went silent, obviously trying to hear what she had to say. When she finished… he gently pushed up the latch that held the locker closed. He stayed huddled for now but he gave Krystina eye contact.

“You S-shouldn’t be sorry… I shouldn’t have to put you through shit like this. I’m… not good enough for you… I’ll never be good enough for you but… I’m sorry I am such a coward.” Colton whimpered out before burying his muzzle into his tuxedo.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She laughed softly and reached into her purse to retrieve the item she had slipped out and back in. “You didn’t put me through anything,” she said in a soft and reassuring voice, “I’m not very well liked as it is in this school, and I’m quick on the trigger when it comes to using force.” She let the item fall to the floor with a heavy thunk. A pair of cobalt-blue steel knuckles. “Bought these for two reasons; first, because I expected trouble like what happened earlier, and two, they matched my dress.” She crept forward and stroked the fur atop his head softly, “what do you say we get out of here?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Her humor seemed to elicit a chuckle out of the mutt, his demeanor easing up a tad. So when he saw the steel knuckles… she definitely didn’t take any chances that’s for sure. The woman was tough as nails and definitely suited her to bring such a weapon.

Colton purred softly as his fur tufts were fiddled with, the feeling was quite pleasurable. He felt… loved… for once at least.

“Yeah… who needs prom when… we have each other right?” Colton said with a teared up smile.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

she chuckled and wiped the tears from his eyes. “True enough,” Krystina responded, “but this is only Homecoming, Prom is still a ways off and we’re gonna knock ‘em dead.”

an idea was forming in her mind, but she would need his help to pull it off.

[schizophrenic-lust]

True this was only homecoming… maybe they could knock this whole school dance out of the park next time. Colton then decided it was time to get out of his locker, especially considering he was mostly calmed down now.

“Y-yeah…” Colton then climbed out of the locker, His form seeming a little hunched from being closed inside his locker.

“S-so… where are we going? Mrs. Kibbs isn’t expecting us until at least until Eleven.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I’m thinking the Prometheus Club would be a good place to eat.” She said with a grin. It was the best and most exclusive restaurant in Monument City, almost impossible to get a table without a three month reservation. Fortunately, her and her siblings guardian was a Lieutenant General in the Southern Cross Military and the brother of the owner, thereby having a standing reservation.

[schizophrenic-lust]

His eyes widened with interest as she suggested possibly the most impressive building in the city. But how was she gonna pay for them? Better yet would he have to give his whole confession another shot? Cause he wasn’t exactly sure his nerves would hold out this time.

“W-what… I mean if you have a way in then yeah!” He exclaimed with a smile.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She grinned and straightened his jacket and tie. “I think I can swing that.” She said as she led him towards her car. As they got in, she started the engine and slapped the transmission into gear. Tires squealing as she pulled out of the parking lot, she merged into traffic, and headed towards the Prometheus Club.

[schizophrenic-lust]

It was all a rush from there, the excitement of going to such a high class place and the fact that… for the most part Krystina seemed to appreciate his feelings for her. Although the whole confession was rudely interrupted by a group of very mean students. Either way… Colton was more interested in seeing how she felt than anything, after all he didn’t spend his allowance on tickets and a tuxedo for nothing.

“S-so what’s this place like exactly? I’ve only heard rumors really.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Well it’s the closest thing to pre-Rain fine dining that we have.” She admitted, “genuine hand crafted furnishings, not the prefabricated stuff most places has, and an atmosphere of elegance not often found in other post-Rain restaurants.” She smoothly pulled into the parking lot and shut off the engine. His feelings for her slightly complicated things, as well as her own growing feelings for him. He was hardly scrawny, and underneath that fur had a rather impressive physique, she knew that from their hours of her throwing him around like a rag doll. “Shall we?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

“We shall.” He spoke with a slightly snarky tone, getting out of the car first he immediately noticed the bright colors mixed with an almost sickening amount of white. It was a bit stranger but it was at least better than the usual brick and diners he got to eat at in his part of town. He was actually quite surprised with his strength when he actually got to training with her, especially considering the one time he won in a spar… mostly by pure luck but it was an improvement in his eyes.

“Whoa…reminds me of… what was it called? Some old 1990s movie… I don’t recall its name though.” He was basically thinking out loud but a response from Krystina wouldn’t hurt either.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I know what you mean,” she agreed, “before I first was brought here, I thought places like this didn’t exist anymore.”

The moment they entered, the host immediately came over and ushered them to a table, much to the consternation of several people who were waiting to be seated.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was quite surprised as she led him inside, club music was raging on one end of the building while the other was more relaxed with calmer music and a more simple colors. Following the waiter, Colton couldn’t help but notice the amount of people at the waiting area, clearly Krystina was important if she could get them in like this. And he let out a sigh of amazement they sat down. “W-wow… quite a restaurant. How many times have you been here?” Colton inquired with his ears perked up attentively clearly trying to start a conversation between the two now. This was ten times better than homecoming though!

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“About fifteen or twenty or so,” she said as she looked across the crisp linen tablecloth at him. “The General usually brings us here for special occasions.” She referred of course to her legal guardian, and godfather. She sipped from the water goblet that was filled nearly to the brim with ice cold lemon-water.

Homecoming hadn’t gone as well as she had wished it would, but at least her date was good company. She hardly cared if anyone else recognized that fact or not. “You know what really annoys me?” She asked suddenly, “look around us right now, how many dirty looks are we getting here… apart from those who have yet to be seated of course.” There weren’t any scowls of contempt or disgust from the others who were seated, nobody cared that they were together.

“Now, why can’t our classmates and the others at school be like this? Why do they have to be such immature jerks?” She sighed “sorry, I didn’t mean to dredge up something unpleasant… it just irritates me you know?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

The thought of her deploying scared Colton to the core as she mentioned her military family. He honestly didn’t know what he would do without Krystina, as far as he was concerned she was the only thing keeping himself from just ending it all… but with that depressing thought aside she was right about the people here, they did care… granted they didn’t know Colton or Krystina that well. “I don’t know but… none of that matters right now… it’s just you and me.” Colton smiled softly. He made a bit of a bold move as he reached across the table and linked his paw with her right hand. He hoped the intimacy would be known to Krystina… that she knew how much Colton cared for her. “You understand that… right?” Colton asked softly, a solid gaze looked back at Krystina’s icy blue eyes.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Yeah,” she grinned reaching up and undoing some of the pins that held her hair up in place. She let the platinum blonde tresses fall and shook her head so that they cascaded down her back like lightly curled waterfalls. She squeezed his paw softly, “just the two of us tonight,” it was not meant as there would be nothing after tonight, it sadly and quietly stated instead that come Monday, they would be back at their high-school and forced to share their time with others.

“But let’s relax, eat up, and enjoy each other’s company.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton shot a happy grin at the other… he was actually at peace for once… maybe even in love.

They left the expensive restaurant happy and laughing as they walked back to the care. He had a near permanent smile on his face and Krystina was actually looking like she wasn’t bothered anymore! If anything this was aiming to be the best night of his night… but it wasn’t even close to 11:00PM yet… that’s when his foster mom wanted Colton back.

“So… we have extra time if you want to do something else Krystina.” Colton suggested idly, not wanting to make the situation awkward.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

Perhaps it was the atmosphere, perhaps it was the food, or something in the food, but she felt unusually warm after their conversation over dinner. “I’m open to pretty much anything at this point Colton.” She said, resisting the urge to run her hands through his thick fur.

“Though it is kinda warm out here,” she opened the passenger door for him, perhaps the air conditioning would help matters.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton thought for a moment as he sat in the car, maybe... he could... yeah... maybe she would like that! So Colton leaned forward to the dashboard and began looking at the on screen map and touching a specific location. A cliff at the edge of the local park a tree sat snugly on top with an overview of the forest below. A pretty romantic spot and where Colton went to clear his thoughts during troubled times.

"I hope you don't mind but... can we go here? I set it up on the G.P.S. for you Krystina... I don't mind if you wanna go home though.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Sometimes, being a student in high school sucked. Krystina Sandoval, a Freshman at Henry J. Gloval High School found today to be one of those days. The leggy blonde hadn't even been able to get from the parking lot, where her older brother Christopher had parked, to her locker without hearing the catcalls. The books she needed held in one arm across her chest, she slammed her locker door closed and began to stalk down the hall. Turning a corner, she smacked face first into someone's chest.

Colton was panting as he ran the opposite direction. Butch and his cronies were right behind him at the moment and he wasn’t gonna be anywhere near them in the next… ah crap.

“Oof!” Colton felt the air get knocked out of his lungs as he collided with the fellow student, he fell onto his rear and put his paw to his face.

“S-sorry!” Colton muttered out before he felt an aggressive hand on his shoulder. Slowly he looked up to see butch… the man was a mountain, he stood at a whopping 6'6 and Colton didn’t want to guess the man’s weight.

“Hey buddy… trying to run again?” His voice was deep and booming like a volcano… it made Colton shiver at the mere sound of it.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She shook her head at him and smiled. “It’s our night Colton.” She amended his sentence. “And we are going to show these stuck-up, smarmy, morons excactly how much fun we can have.” She would have found it entertaining to simply start a brawl, but two things stopped her. Firstly; Colton had gotten much better as a fighter, but he wasn’t ready for something like that yet. Secondly; she looked far too stunning in this dress to risk ruining it with violence. She led him to the entrance and offered their tickets. The teacher taking them nodded once to them and let them pass. They entered the gymnasium and she looked around at all of the decorations and the people who were generally just milling about.

Her correction made him go silent, he found it hard to speak after that… he felt like she was spending more time taking care of him than he taking care of her. But she didn’t seem too bothered by that so he tried not to think about it.

He didn’t have a single shred of violence in his body, even with his self defense training. Of course he wouldn’t tell Krystina that but if the illusion of defense made her happy then so be it. Colton did leave her momentarily to grab the both of them punch… but she seemed too engrossed in the environment to care.

“Here, I thought you’d like this.” Colton said as he handed over her cup of punch.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She took the cup from him and gave him a warm smile. “Thank you.” She said softly. “Sorry if I come across as overbearing sometimes. One of the perks of being an Army Brat.” She mentally kicked herself for wearing these heels. I can’t dance in these, I’ll break my damned neck. She thought to herself.

But at that moment a slow song played… it was definitely orchestral in nature but it served its purpose beautifully. That being to boost Colton’s confidence. So he offered the human her paw and gave his warmest smile.

[schizophrenic-lust]

It was all a rush from there, the excitement of going to such a high class place and the fact that… for the most part Krystina seemed to appreciate his feelings for her. Although the whole confession was rudely interrupted by a group of very mean students. Either way… Colton was more interested in seeing how she felt than anything, after all he didn’t spend his allowance on tickets and a tuxedo for nothing.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Well it’s the closest thing to pre-Rain fine dining that we have.” She admitted, “genuine hand crafted furnishings, not the prefabricated stuff most places has, and an atmosphere of elegance not often found in other post-Rain restaurants.” She smoothly pulled into the parking lot and shut off the engine.

“Now, why can’t our classmates and the others at school be like this? Why do they have to be such immature jerks?” She sighed “sorry, I didn’t mean to dredge up something unpleasant… it just irritates me you know?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

The thought of her deploying scared Colton to the core as she mentioned her military family. He honestly didn’t know what he would do without Krystina, as far as he was concerned she was the only thing keeping himself from just ending it all… but with that depressing thought aside she was right about the people here, they did care… granted they didn’t know Colton or Krystina that well. “I don’t know but… none of that matters right now… it’s just you and me.” Colton smiled softly. He made a bit of a bold move as he reached across the table and linked his paw with her right hand. He hoped the intimacy would be known to Krystina… that she knew how much Colton cared for her. “You understand that… right?” Colton asked softly, a solid gaze looked back at Krystina’s icy blue eyes.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Yeah,” she grinned reaching up and undoing some of the pins that held her hair up in place. She let the platinum blonde tresses fall and shook her head so that they cascaded down her back like lightly curled waterfalls. She squeezed his paw softly, “just the two of us tonight,” it was not meant as there would be nothing after tonight, it sadly and quietly stated instead that come Monday, they would be back at their high-school and forced to share their time with others.

“But let’s relax, eat up, and enjoy each other’s company.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton shot a happy grin at the other... he was actually at peace for once... maybe even in love.

They left the expensive restaurant happy and laughing as they walked back to the care. He had a near permanent smile on his face and Krystina was actually looking like she wasn't bothered anymore! If anything this was aiming to be the best night of his night... but it wasn't even close to 11:00PM yet... that's when his foster mom wanted Colton back.

"So... we have extra time if you want to do something else Krystina." Colton suggested idly, not wanting to make the situation awkward.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Sometimes, being a student in high school sucked. Krystina Sandoval, a Freshman at Henry J. Gloval High School found today to be one of those days. The leggy blonde hadn't even been able to get from the parking lot, where her older brother Christopher had parked, to her locker without hearing the catcalls. The books she needed held in one arm across her chest, she slammed her locker door closed and began to stalk down the hall. Turning a corner, she smacked face first into someone's chest.

Colton was panting as he ran the opposite direction. Butch and his cronies were right behind him at the moment and he wasn’t gonna be anywhere near them in the next… ah crap.

“Oof!” Colton felt the air get knocked out of his lungs as he collided with the fellow student, he fell onto his rear and put his paw to his face.

“S-sorry!” Colton muttered out before he felt an aggressive hand on his shoulder. Slowly he looked up to see butch… the man was a mountain, he stood at a whopping 6'6 and Colton didn’t want to guess the man’s weight.

“Hey buddy… trying to run again?” His voice was deep and booming like a volcano… it made Colton shiver at the mere sound of it.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She shook her head at him and smiled. “It’s our night Colton.” She amended his sentence. “And we are going to show these stuck-up, smarmy, morons excactly how much fun we can have.” She would have found it entertaining to simply start a brawl, but two things stopped her. Firstly; Colton had gotten much better as a fighter, but he wasn’t ready for something like that yet. Secondly; she looked far too stunning in this dress to risk ruining it with violence. She led him to the entrance and offered their tickets. The teacher taking them nodded once to them and let them pass. They entered the gymnasium and she looked around at all of the decorations and the people who were generally just milling about.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Her correction made him go silent, he found it hard to speak after that… he felt like she was spending more time taking care of him than he taking care of her. But she didn’t seem too bothered by that so he tried not to think about it.

He didn’t have a single shred of violence in his body, even with his self defense training. Of course he wouldn’t tell Krystina that but if the illusion of defense made her happy then so be it. Colton did leave her momentarily to grab the both of them punch… but she seemed too engrossed in the environment to care.

“Here, I thought you’d like this.” Colton said as he handed over her cup of punch.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She took the cup from him and gave him a warm smile. “Thank you.” She said softly. “Sorry if I come across as overbearing sometimes. One of the perks of being an Army Brat.” She mentally kicked herself for wearing these heels. I can’t dance in these, I’ll break my damned neck. She thought to herself.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton couldn’t dance anyway so it wasn’t like she was losing out on much. Still her military history only made him feel safer if he was being honest with himself.

“Well… I’ve never D-done this before so I’m not exactly sure what to do besides… well… dance… we can wait for something slower to come on if you like though Krystina.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I’ve never done this before either.” She admitted. She bent her knee back, and reached behind her to remove her shoe, then repeated the process with her left foot. “But I’m certain of one thing, if I try to dance in these death trap shoes, I’m likely to break my damned neck.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton couldn’t help but chuckle as she took her heels off, clearly she was dressed to impress a little too much at the moment. But at that moment a slow song played… it was definitely orchestral in nature but it served its purpose beautifully. That being to boost Colton’s confidence. So he offered the human her paw and gave his warmest smile.

“Y-you wouldn’t mind joining me on the dance floor would you?”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Not at all.” She replied, placing her hand in his paw. “Lead the way.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

And Colton did exactly that, leading her out near the center where it was surprisingly the most empty. He put both paws on her shoulder and slowly began to rock his hips to the harmonic tune. Clearly he enjoyed this type of music.

“H-honestly… if you don’t mind me confessing… I… I’ve been trying to find a way to ask you out since before we ran into each other… only I found out how much I needed you… I hope this doesn’t sound too sappy but… I… I really do love you…”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

Hearing his confession she felt her cheeks turn a bright red and shook her head to form a small curtain of her hair to hide it. “Did you hear that?” A disgusted grunt came from nearby, “the mongrel confessed to the ice princess. Maybe they’ll breed and have puppies.” The jeering continued for a moment, causing the muscles in the blonde’s cheek to twitch. “C-Colton, I don’t know what to say,” she had began to tell him when she paused and scowled. “Hold that thought for just one moment.” She gracefully extracted herself from his warm embrace and then spun around, her right arm held close to her chest until she snapped it outward, fist clenched to connect with the loudest and closest of the commenters. There was a loud crunch and then an agonized muffled cry as he fell to his side clutching his jaw where it met his ear. A glint of blue-steel seemed to shine on her hand for just a moment before she dropped her hand back to her purse. When she removed it her hand was normal once more. “Anybody else want to run their fucking mouths?” She paused, “I thought not.” Then she returned to her date and smoothly resumed their dance.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was definitely a little thrown off by the quick turn of events. The comments made him wish he hadn’t even said anything and the impending violence even made him wince. The quick flash of blue confused him though… what was that? Either way she returned back to their dance quickly enough and… well he was too flustered to continue his thoughts.

“I… I’m sorry if this came as a surprise… I shouldn’t have said anything.” His fears overcame him and he let go of her admittedly soft embrace. He then quickly paced away, pushing his way past other teens and humans… why was he such a goddamn disgrace?

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

The blonde shook her head as he ran from her and she let out a curse under her breath. She would never catch him in these death traps she wore on her feet. Carefully she kicked the shoes from her feet and hiked her dress up. Then with the murmuring crowd still parted in his wake, she ran after him. Bare feet slapping the tile floor with every step, she made her way towards where she had lost sight of him. “Why the hell does he run away?” She growled to herself, “Am I really that intimidating?” She stopped abruptly and took a deep lung full of air. “Colton!” She shouted, in her sharpest, most commanding voice, “where the hell did you run off to?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was doing the most cowardly place he could be, he was simply hiding in his locker, light whimpers of fear and tears could be heard emanating very close to Krystina.

“S-shut up… y-you’re no good Colton… you’ll ruin everything she strives for. You’re a useless d-distraction.” His anxiety seemed to have come to the point that he was verbally speaking for the voices in his head.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She froze in place hearing the whimpers and one sided argument from her left. There was no mistaking the voice, muffled as it may be. Quietly she padded over to the row of lockers and placed her ear next to the one that the sound was originating from. Clearly Colton was inside and he was obviously struggling with himself. She was unsure what to do to help him in this situation, didn’t know if she could say anything to him that would make things better… or if she would just make things worse. At long last, she gently rapped on the metal. “Are you just going to stay huddled in there all night?” She asked in a quiet voice. “I shouldn’t have made a scene back there, I’m sorry. I ruined everything.”

[schizophrenic-lust]

The lack of high heels definitely helped in her efforts to sneak up on the lockers. Still when she listened he would utter more self degrading things. Such as his whole life being a sham or maybe how much of a coward he was.

When her voice was heard however he went silent, obviously trying to hear what she had to say. When she finished… he gently pushed up the latch that held the locker closed. He stayed huddled for now but he gave Krystina eye contact.

“You S-shouldn’t be sorry… I shouldn’t have to put you through shit like this. I’m… not good enough for you… I’ll never be good enough for you but… I’m sorry I am such a coward.” Colton whimpered out before burying his muzzle into his tuxedo.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She laughed softly and reached into her purse to retrieve the item she had slipped out and back in. “You didn’t put me through anything,” she said in a soft and reassuring voice, “I’m not very well liked as it is in this school, and I’m quick on the trigger when it comes to using force.” She let the item fall to the floor with a heavy thunk. A pair of cobalt-blue steel knuckles. “Bought these for two reasons; first, because I expected trouble like what happened earlier, and two, they matched my dress.” She crept forward and stroked the fur atop his head softly, “what do you say we get out of here?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

Her humor seemed to elicit a chuckle out of the mutt, his demeanor easing up a tad. So when he saw the steel knuckles… she definitely didn’t take any chances that’s for sure. The woman was tough as nails and definitely suited her to bring such a weapon.

Colton purred softly as his fur tufts were fiddled with, the feeling was quite pleasurable. He felt… loved… for once at least.

“Yeah… who needs prom when… we have each other right?” Colton said with a teared up smile.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

she chuckled and wiped the tears from his eyes. “True enough,” Krystina responded, “but this is only Homecoming, Prom is still a ways off and we’re gonna knock ‘em dead.”

an idea was forming in her mind, but she would need his help to pull it off.

[schizophrenic-lust]

True this was only homecoming… maybe they could knock this whole school dance out of the park next time. Colton then decided it was time to get out of his locker, especially considering he was mostly calmed down now.

“Y-yeah…” Colton then climbed out of the locker, His form seeming a little hunched from being closed inside his locker.

“S-so… where are we going? Mrs. Kibbs isn’t expecting us until at least until Eleven.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I’m thinking the Prometheus Club would be a good place to eat.” She said with a grin. It was the best and most exclusive restaurant in Monument City, almost impossible to get a table without a three month reservation. Fortunately, her and her siblings guardian was a Lieutenant General in the Southern Cross Military and the brother of the owner, thereby having a standing reservation.

[schizophrenic-lust]

His eyes widened with interest as she suggested possibly the most impressive building in the city. But how was she gonna pay for them? Better yet would he have to give his whole confession another shot? Cause he wasn’t exactly sure his nerves would hold out this time.

“W-what… I mean if you have a way in then yeah!” He exclaimed with a smile.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

She grinned and straightened his jacket and tie. “I think I can swing that.” She said as she led him towards her car. As they got in, she started the engine and slapped the transmission into gear. Tires squealing as she pulled out of the parking lot, she merged into traffic, and headed towards the Prometheus Club.

[schizophrenic-lust]

It was all a rush from there, the excitement of going to such a high class place and the fact that… for the most part Krystina seemed to appreciate his feelings for her. Although the whole confession was rudely interrupted by a group of very mean students. Either way… Colton was more interested in seeing how she felt than anything, after all he didn’t spend his allowance on tickets and a tuxedo for nothing.

“S-so what’s this place like exactly? I’ve only heard rumors really.”

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“Well it’s the closest thing to pre-Rain fine dining that we have.” She admitted, “genuine hand crafted furnishings, not the prefabricated stuff most places has, and an atmosphere of elegance not often found in other post-Rain restaurants.” She smoothly pulled into the parking lot and shut off the engine. His feelings for her slightly complicated things, as well as her own growing feelings for him. He was hardly scrawny, and underneath that fur had a rather impressive physique, she knew that from their hours of her throwing him around like a rag doll. “Shall we?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

“We shall.” He spoke with a slightly snarky tone, getting out of the car first he immediately noticed the bright colors mixed with an almost sickening amount of white. It was a bit stranger but it was at least better than the usual brick and diners he got to eat at in his part of town. He was actually quite surprised with his strength when he actually got to training with her, especially considering the one time he won in a spar… mostly by pure luck but it was an improvement in his eyes.

“Whoa…reminds me of… what was it called? Some old 1990s movie… I don’t recall its name though.” He was basically thinking out loud but a response from Krystina wouldn’t hurt either.

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“I know what you mean,” she agreed, “before I first was brought here, I thought places like this didn’t exist anymore.”

The moment they entered, the host immediately came over and ushered them to a table, much to the consternation of several people who were waiting to be seated.

[schizophrenic-lust]

Colton was quite surprised as she led him inside, club music was raging on one end of the building while the other was more relaxed with calmer music and a more simple colors. Following the waiter, Colton couldn’t help but notice the amount of people at the waiting area, clearly Krystina was important if she could get them in like this. And he let out a sigh of amazement they sat down. “W-wow… quite a restaurant. How many times have you been here?” Colton inquired with his ears perked up attentively clearly trying to start a conversation between the two now. This was ten times better than homecoming though!

[squadsevenandussanvegad]

“About fifteen or twenty or so,” she said as she looked across the crisp linen tablecloth at him. “The General usually brings us here for special occasions.” She referred of course to her legal guardian, and godfather. She sipped from the water goblet that was filled nearly to the brim with ice cold lemon-water.

Homecoming hadn’t gone as well as she had wished it would, but at least her date was good company. She hardly cared if anyone else recognized that fact or not. “You know what really annoys me?” She asked suddenly, “look around us right now, how many dirty looks are we getting here… apart from those who have yet to be seated of course.” There weren’t any scowls of contempt or disgust from the others who were seated, nobody cared that they were together.

“Now, why can’t our classmates and the others at school be like this? Why do they have to be such immature jerks?” She sighed “sorry, I didn’t mean to dredge up something unpleasant… it just irritates me you know?”

[schizophrenic-lust]

The thought of her deploying scared Colton to the core as she mentioned her military family. He honestly didn't know what he would do without Krystina, as far as he was concerned she was the only thing keeping himself from just ending it all... but with that depressing thought aside she was right about the people here, they did care... granted they didn't know Colton or Krystina that well. "I don't know but... none of that matters right now... it's just you and me." Colton smiled softly. He made a bit of a bold move as he reached across the table and linked his paw with her right hand. He hoped the intimacy would be known to Krystina... that she knew how much Colton cared for her. "You understand that... right?" Colton asked softly, a solid gaze looked back at Krystina's icy blue eyes.
