Nina\'s Break Down
(Warning: This story contains sexual contact between two under aged characters. No real people were made an example of in this story and it's a completely fictitious story. This is my first work on yiffstar.com, or anywhere, for that matter, so comments would be appreciated. I know the story is short but it's sweet. Not alot of sexy yiff stuff in there but it's a story of young love, a conflicted love. Please enjoy.)
"Tessa?" Two large, amber colored eyes peered from the darkness of her treehouse, striped arms crossing on the floor as she steadied herself o the stairs, "Tessa, are you awake?" It was soo depressing, Nina's mother had grounded her when she was cleaning her room a week ago. In school, during math class she had sqribbled her lover's name all over her day planner in bright pink marker. Now she watched the young bear as she sleep, having snuck acorss the lawn and scurried up the ladder into the treehouse. No one knew she used it anymore, since she was already 17, but Tessa hid there when she was lonely and berieved. She lay against the harsh floorboards, her rich colored brown fur ruffled and filled with burrs she'd picked up when she ran home this afternoon to skip school. Her parent's didn't know yet, Nina's mother kept trying to call them and tell them their daughter was a lesbian, but they were on a trip to Canada with her grandmother. Apparently slots are the in thing will old people these days, addicting like pot but alot more expensive and just as big a waste of time.
"I just...wanted to say I was sorry..." Nina was whispering to the air now, Tessa's chest rising and falling with the peace of her sleep, "I didn't mean for this to happen. I was careless..." The tension in her voice was strong, her tiger eyes closing tightly as she faught off her tears. Talking about it made was excrutiatingly hard, she loved Tessa, a hard love that would knock the socks off the coldest hearts. Even Hitler would have swooned and giggled for a moment to feel this. Nina finally climbed the final steps up the ladder, having been afraid to climb all the way in, and sat herself cross legged on the floor while she reached out to stroke Tessa's short brown and blue streaked hair. Moments passed in silence as Nina sifted through her day, school and laughing among her peers, rushing down the street to work after school and finally after her 6 hour shift she'd run the few blocks to the treehouse. She just couldn't ignore the preasure, she couldn't go home or her mother would stick her nose in the bible again. She'd started the annoying habit this last week, making her quote verse after verse until she thought she'd develop stigmata. Even Jesus would have said "Okay, enough of this shit now, I need a cig." After awhile of deep thought she sighed and continued with her apology, her hands stopping their loving strokes to Tessa's hair then rubbing nervously along her face, as she tried to ease the stress out of her mind.
"My mother doesn't understand, she thinks that gays are a sin, you know how she's trying to fit in with the Catholic crowd now...I guess the church has a real hott priest or something, that's all. Hypocritical...b-bullshit!" She stammered before the tears finally slid from her face, years of stress tolled on her young mind, growing up in the ghetto with a single parent was not the way she should have lived. Her father had been an emerging tattoo artist when he'd met her mother at a concert,they hit it off and after a few weeks she wound up with a swollen belly. She expected a proposal but soon realized she was only one of man women that he'd gone through that year. The man soon moved out of state to set up his own tattoo shop and her mother flat out refused to even give Nina a name. It was harsh, Nina knew she could have brothers and sisters out there, or she could even know a man who had since grown up from his wold days. The young tigress rocked back and forth for a moment, hugging arms around her pink t-shirt while she sobbed, locking her eyes closed while her emotions tore through her like a riptide, almost a physical pain wrecking her young body. Torment, it was torment, why did she have to be soo alone? She'd even cut herself on her thigh, everyone was doing it and it seemed to help them but the physical pain couldn't erase her turmoil and anguish. Bandages wrapped her leg that day, and the scar was the immortal stamp on her body that told the story. Every time she looked at it she remembered.
The sleeping bag on the floor rustled as Tessa slowly woke, tugging her sleeping pants into their right place after they'd wrapped around wrong her in her troubled sleep. "...Nina?" Finally a gruff and sleepy voice interviened the silence, deep forest green eyes trying to focus in the dark. "Nina, amor, stop cryin', we can work this out," The bear paused to take a deep yawn, "It's just you and me, babe, and nothing could tear us apart. Your mom just doesn't understand that's all!" She knew what Nina was going through, they'd already talked on the phone in depth the night before, their conversation stretching all the way into three in the morning.
Nina's chin wobbled as she tried to slow her sobbing to a stop, making those sad little noises we all make when we've had our hearts tossed around. "I can't...I can't TAKE it, Tessa! This year is going soo slow, people at work hate me and the manager thinks I'm stupid! If I can't keep this job then we can't start a life together! I can't believe mom had to SEE that!" She'd been employed at a local super market, pushing carts through the snow all winter and in the rain all summer, it was a hard job but it was a way to start saving. The small pile of cash she kept tucked under her mattress had grown alot the last few months and with it, so had her hope for the future. For Tessa and Nina to pack large brown boxes with duct tape and sqribble on them "Tessa and Nina's Room." Maybe even get the "Hers" and "Hers" towels? No, maybe that's too corny, that always did scream suburban housewife to me..
A warm and gentle padded hand reached out, wrapping around Nina's forearm and tugging her closer towards the small sleeping bag. Nina obliged in her need of comfort, her need of someone to touch and to support her, understanding. "Gatito, I love you, and I'll always be here for you, we can make this and I know it! Only a few more months and we're good to go, just think!" Of course Tessa's parents would understand, they were like neo hippies, love and peace and respect the earth man. They loved their daughter and accepted most desicions she made on her own, encouraged her to be open minded and to express her emotions. Maybe they could just talk to Nina's mother, maybe the could make her see the love for Tessa in her daughter's eyes, if could just be that simple. Just a chat over a cup of tea and it would all be over, no more hiding for Nina...Maybe when Tessa's parents came home tomorrow! She would grab Nina's paw and rush from the treehouse to their freshly parked minivan, exclaiming her young love and demanding that Nina's mother should be forced to understand. Surely her parents would get it.
The orange and black stripes rubbed along the bristle matted fur as they curled together, rubbing cat like along each other's faces with their hands reaching for one another. "It'll be alright.." The coo was murmered into the tiger's ear as she slowly feel asleep, exhausted from crying, working, school, the stress and the preasure. The bears clawed hand gentle slid under her waist band, cupping her privates while they snuggled close in the cool night air, hummed to sleep by the gentle sound of cicadas. Her gruff voice carried in the wind and she kissed Nina's furred cheeks slowly, her own body relaxing deep into the cushioned sleeping bag, "El lucero del alba brilla su luz en el seno. La madre muestra el amor y enjuga las lágrimas..." The song couldn't go on, her mind was half asleep already and she merely hummed a the tune as her expresison melted into one of serene peace. Their future was bright, without a doubt.
