Ko and Rez Orgins
I decided to seperate the Story and Art...OOPS! Enjoy! Walking down the halls of his college during lunch break, his books by his seat, and wallet on himself, Ko is a salamander with fringe and blue scales, peach underbelly, and some spots over him, wearing a yellow sweater, kind of oversized with a cat face and pink accents. He also wore cute brown ankle boots and a pair of jean shorts. He then walked to one of the balconies in the school overlooking a pond, inhaling the fresh air and relaxing a bit. He held his snack, a sandwich he brought from home plus a juice box and banana from school.
He watched the ripples form in the pond from the relaxing breeze. He smiled seeing a family of ducks on the pond swimming around. Once they left the water and waddle to another area, he was done. The ducks entertained him pretty well. He stretched and made sure to throw away his trash, he leaned against the banister with his back to the door.
He heard some shuffling behind him then looked over his shoulder towards the direction. He paused, blinking slowly and then looking away while looking out at the pond once more. He saw a snow leopard, who also was relaxed while leaning on the banister. His red hair, striking with his vivid blue eyes as well. His outfit was green, red and yellow and what Ko saw was that the snow leopard was looking at him when he was turned around.
He heard the leopard chuckle a bit after Ko turned around to look away. He blushed a bit and cleared his throat, turn in his body towards the leopard, smiling while twirling one of his frills. “Ah…I'm sorry..I didn‘t see you here…w-were you here the whole time by chance?” Ko asked, his voice being a bit nervous towards the end.
The Leopard placed his propped hand down to stretch, standing up and smiling down at Ko, who just blinked then looked away with a bit of shyness. This guy was…handsome. Ko felt his cheeks heat up as he got a good look at his broad shoulders. He probably played…sport..maybe football?? Maybe not??
“Ah don't worry about it, sugar. You were looking so cute watching the ducks and all…I didn't want to interrupt that peace.” The leopard said while grinning. He held out his hand as if to shake hands. Ko indeed, reached out his hand to shake it, never really having to do this. “The name is Rez. Nice To meet you…?”
“Oh! My name is Ko! Aha…” He said, his cheeks peeking in heat when he felt Rez's hands…his hands were so…firm…warm. He blinked rapidly as he saw Rez holding back a laugh. Ko squeaked as he let his hand drop And looked away, twiddling his thumbs a bit, glancing at the ground and scuffing his boots on the ground.
“N-Nice to meet you Rez…I uhm…well…aha…you’Re…really..uhm..handsome.” He said, then realized that final thought slipped from his lips and he puffed up a bit.
Rez’s eyes brightened up at those words then he finally let out a laugh. He looked up at Ko with a huge Smile, fangs and all shown. He stepped a bit closer to Ko and leaned against the balcony's banister. “Well…you aren't bad lookin’ yourself. You're quite the cutie if I do say so myself.” He said, grinning And tilting his head.
Ko began fanning himself slightly as he not only was embarrassed, but was a bit flustered at the fact he was called…cute. He looked away at the lake, then at the floor, eyes roaming everywhere except Rez While his fringe flapped up and down, his cheeks red as heck.
Rez lifted a hand up to lightly hold the tips of his fingers and cooed at him, looking a bit apologetic. “Hey sugar…take some deep breathes for me…you lookin’ a Lil purple.” Rez said while watching him carefully.
Ko did as he was told while also staring at their hands. He sighed one final time and then pulled his hand away slowly, cradling it against his chest while nodding and giving a small smile.
“T-Thank you. Sorry for…uh…well…I meant it though…ah…anyway…R-Rez? Thank you.” Ko said, looking at his shoes, pointing his toes inward.
Rez smiled and stood up, straightening his jacket out and dusting himself off. He smirked and leaned down in front of Ko's Vision and smiled at him. “All's good cutie. Hopefully I can see you around campus too.” He said, backing away once the bell rang over the announcement speaker.
Ko straightened up and nodded, walking to the door then turning around, looking back at him and smiled shyly, moving one of his fringes and waving. “Okay. See you later…R-Rez…” He said walking away quickly, his cheeks warm once more as he held them, going to class. Once back in his class, he sat down and stared at his notebooks, processing that encounter. He sighed, laying his head on his desk while looking out into the hallway from the door. He sat up seeing Rez pass by, who actually glanced over, backpedaled to wave at him through the door, then went about his way. Ko felt his heart race as he placed his hand on his chest. He then made a realization, Rez,,,he needed to know more. He bit his lip and smiled to himself, smiling down at his notebooks and then looking up when the teacher came in. This school year was going to be…interesting.
