What Could Go Right? Chapter 4
#4 of What Could Go Right?
Alright, first off I want to appologize for missing Saturday, and I want to appologize for a short chapter today. I have a lot of make up work due on school that I have to make up or I am not going to be in a good place next semester. Updates may be shaky for now, but once school normalizes, and life as well (Which, by the look of things I am forseeing that being new years lol) I will become more regular with it. I'm taking a light load next semester anyway, so I may have more time.
Enjoy guys, please comment to let me know what you think.
And yes, there will be straight relationships...just give me time to get the first few characters off the ground lol.
Chapter four
Unnerved
The dorm door slammed open, Dill walking in rather miffed. Ken blinked at him, standing naked in the middle of the room as he just got out of the shower. The door closed with a slam on it's own, due to the nature of the doors as Dill paced the room looking dangerous. Ken frowned, forgetting he was naked and placed his hand on Dill's shoulder. "What happened, you alright?"
Dill sighed and said "Those girls...they are each others date. They wanted two guys to go with them, so they thought they could trick two guys into being gay tonight. A good source of mine showed me proof of what they do. They record it and put it on some fucking porn site for kicks." He said as he turned around. When he saw Ken, he blinked a few times and his mouth opened.
Ken didn't get the face at first, but then he felt the air kick on and felt his lower body start to get cold. Blushing, and realizing his mistake, he removed his paw and hurried to the other side of the room to grab his towel and put it around him. "I'm sorry Dill, I was so worried about you I forgot to grab my towel!" He'd say suddenly, feeling a bit warm in the face. 'Stupid stupid stupid! Dill is going to -kill- you now!' He'd think, as he turned to look at his roommate.
Dill had his back turned, his tail twitching occasionally. His hand gripped the bed frame, his claws digging into it. His fur looked a little on end, and his breathing was a little fast. Thinking his fears where true, Ken hurried and put on some boxers and sat the towel down. They both slept in their boxers so it he didn't think that would push any buttons. "I'm sorry Ken."
Ken blinked a few times, confused as the large cat turned around. He didn't look pissed, but rather he was upset. "I-I'm sorry..I am just so confused.." He'd say as he sat down on the bed. Ken frowned and sat beside his roommate, putting his arm around him.
The larger cat shook his head a few times and sighed. "Why can't I get him out of my head Ken, and why am I even telling you this..."
Ken's mind turned a little, trying to figure out what his roommate meant. Then it clicked as Ken bit down on his tongue to prevent a "OH!" and said "Are you crushing on another guy Dill? You can talk to me if you want, I won't judge." As he put his arm around Dill's shoulder.
Dill bit his lip, drawing blood as tears came up in his eyes. Slowly he nodded, and put his hands into his head. "I'm a fucking faggot, my parents will kill me! And no matter what I can't get him out of my head." sobbing a little. Ken frowned and rubbed his back, being easy.
"Don't worry, I don't care. Don't put yourself down with the fag term, you just make yourself hate yourself more." Ken said softly. "I accept you for who you are, you already are better than a lot of guys I've put up with when helping Grammy. Plus you are a nice guy, does this other guy know though?"
Dill looked up, tears streaming down his face. He shook his head after a few moments, and looked down. "He goes to West Virginia State University, but we where real close in school. I, I always watched him but, I don't know why I like him like this."
Ken thought a moment, and said softly "Hey, it's your feelings man. Don't fight them, and don't be afraid. Your a adult now, you are your own man. No one's opinion really matters except those you let matter. You most likely want to know your friend's opinion, and you obviously care about your parents opinion. So, when you want to and when you are ready you can tell them but you should focus on your own feelings first alright?"
Dill nodded, calming down some. He looked to Ken and smiled, blood tricking down from his lower lip. Ken sighed, and grabbed a water bottle, a clean wash cloth, and wet the wash cloth. He then said "I can either clean you up like a kitten, or let you do it. But either way, please take care of your lip." as Dill chuckled, taking the rag from him and going to the mirror.
Ken went back to his bed and put away his nicer outfit, grabbing a pair of lounge pants to put on. Dill finished with his lip, and left to wash out the wash cloth so it wouldn't stain. By time Dill came back, Ken was sleeping silently with a little bit of purring in between breaths. Dill watched Ken for a moment, his face getting a little darker, and he went to sit on the bed to watch the otter hybrid for a while as the winds picked up outside.
-The Next Morning-
Dill woke up, looking out the window. The rain was coming down really hard, the streets outside being flooded slightly. His phone had the text message alert light blinking, which he checked to see classes where canceled that day and that students where advised against going out in the storm. He chuckled, second day of classes canceled and turned to tell Ken the news.
Ken was laying on his back, purring in between light snores. Sticking out of his lounge pants though, was eight inches of his morning wood. Dill's fur looked like it got darker, and he looked to the time. It was seven twenty four, his alarm would go off soon. Dill quickly laid back down in bed and turned to look at him again, closing his eyes just as Ken's alarm went off. Ken opened his eyes and saw his penis sticking out of his pants. He blushed, and threw the cover over him quickly as he turned to check Dill.
Dill looked pretty much asleep, he always slept through Ken's alarm anyway, so Ken sighed and sat up in the bed covered up. He waited for about five minutes, and sighed finally. He got up, morning wood gone, stripped and threw a towel on, and left to shower. As the door closed, Dill sat up and flattened his ears sadly.
Ken returned to the room a little later, Dill at his computer working on a paper. Dill waved and said "Class canned, too wet out I guess. And I'm not complaining. All University buildings are closed except for the food halls. Be safest to go to Towers though." Ken nodded, and got dressed in some shorts and sat on the bed to open his computer. He saw his phone, and checked it to see a text. It was the text telling him about the classes being canceled, and that students where advised to stay in doors.
Ken shrugged, and turned on his computer as lighting flashed outside. Dill flinched at the flash of light, and again at the crack of the thunder that followed. Ken sighed and slowly closed his computer, not wanting to risk it. Dill shut his computer and unplugged it as well as the wind picked up outside. He then sat on the bed, and the two sat in quiet for about fifteen minutes.
Another flash of lighting, and the power went out with it as the sky shook with thunder. Ken sighed, expecting it to have happened, but Dill whimpered as he laid back as far as he could on his bed. Ken looked over and saw him hugging his knees, honestly looking scared.
'God, Dill is usually someone I'd be afraid would pound someone's face in but he looks like a scared kid. The guy is a big softy' Ken thought as he smiled in the dark "Don't worry Dill, it's just some lightning."
Dill just shook his head and stayed where he was, not moving a inch as if he'd be struck by lightning if he did. Ken sighed, and sat on the bed near him. The large cat's eyes shined dangerously in the dark, but it was only a trick of the light. "You're afraid of lightning aren't you?"
Dill shook his head and said "Not even close." as tears fought to his eyes again.
