Anemone High Ch. 0 - Introduction
#1 of Anemone High

Authors notes: This series contains graphic sex between two male characters. This, however, is just the introduction. I wanted to write something quick and easy to just set the tone and framework. Otherwise, I feel like I'm writing on a blank canvas, and it feels a little daunting. Fetishes will come and go, each of the announced in the preview box above the story. If you are offended by these things, please look elsewhere. If you are underage, I'm sorry but come back in a couple years. And lastly, if such material is considered illegal in your area, I'm not forcing you to read it. Comments and ratings are greatly appreciated. Any comments, questions, and capricious compliments can be directed to [email protected] Questions on commissions are also welcome.

Set deep in the mountains amongst a dense patch of green forestry, the academy stood boldly amongst the undisturbed nature. Before it's wide gates stretched a long, winding road down to the city below. Cars filled with anxious students crept up the steep slope, dropping off each young fur. Teary goodbyes and joyous laughs echoed about as doting mothers clutched to their sons and boys ran to catch up with their classmates.
High walls surrounded the campus on all sides, jutting up like stone monoliths to remind the students of their place on the campus. However, even with bold walls keeping them in, the campus sprawled endlessly, filled with dormitories, classrooms, libraries, study halls, and everything to make the school a mini metropolis.
"All right, all right," shouted a senior ferret, feeling the need to finally step in and take charge. He waved his paws frantically, trying to usher the packs of chattering students into the auditorium. The student center stood proudly in the middle of campus where the afternoon sun glared sharply off the glass windows. Various faculty and staff stood along the hallway, smiling and welcoming the students as they filed into the beautiful hall.
The sea of students stretched out deep into the auditorium as a tall, broad-shouldered wolf approached the podium. His freshly pressed suit and suave demeanor called forth an air of important and reverence, as if his very presence was enough to silence the sea of chattering boys in front of him. A tall lion boy stepped in front of him to the microphone to speak first, paw habitually tugging at the newly made student council brassard attached to his sleeve.
"All rise for the honorable headmaster, Aiden Sparks," he said sharply, as the boys clamored up to their feet. The wolf smiled down at the lion and give him a gentle pat on the shoulder before taking his place before the podium.
"My dear students, I welcome you once again to the Anemone Academy for Boys. The semester will officially begin in two weeks. Those of you who will be staying in the dormitories must pick up your room assignments by that time. Freshman and transfer students should take this time to familiarize themselves with the grounds to prevent getting lost." Several of the freshmen looked around nervously amongst themselves, as if they waited for at least one of their own to keel over from the pressure and fear brought on by the prestigious school. The wolf cleared his throat, immediately stilling the new students who all turned to listen intently to the rest of the announcements.
"This year we will be attempting something rather revolutionary. Starting next semester, your graduating year will no longer determine your dorm placement. Hopefully, the seniors will be willing to place a strong guiding hand on the shoulders of the impressionable freshmen." The low rumble coming from the seniors grew into a roar as many of the boys looked around, whispering and talking to one another. The wolf clapped his hands, "Settle down, settle down. I'm sure you'll all adjust and coexist."
He shuffled his papers. "A few more things. I'd like to announce that the gym will be opening tomorrow as well as the school pool. Open swim times will be posted and swim team try outs will be held next Thursday, as well as try outs for other teams and clubs. I encourage all of you to join a school club and take pride in your academics and studentship here at Anemone."
"The library will also be opening after a long summer of renovations. I'd like to take a moment to thank all of our kind benefactors for putting so much time and effort into furthering our students' learning. And lately, I'd like to remind all of the students to head to the infirmary should they ever feel sick or hurt. I'd like to make a consolidated effort to prevent unreported illnesses this year. Thank you."
The lion stepped in front of him, "Everyone stand! Salute! Dismissed!"
The students eagerly piled out of the building, spreading across the lush green campus as the wolf stood atop the stage, waiting for every last student file out. The lion cleared this throat before folding his arms across his chest, making sure his brassard remained visible. "Let me be the first to say that I think we're going to have an exceptional year here at this fine institution."
"I agree, Rian. I'm glad to know I have you supporting us as student council president," the headmaster said fondly. "Hand groomed by myself. I'm glad to know you've become a confident leader. The students need someone like you." The lion beamed, feeling his ego swelling more and more as the wolf continued to compliment him. With a dark smile, the headmaster added lowly, "Speaking of grooming, I trust that you'll be proper with your subordinates this year?"
The lion stiffened, raising up his nose before giving a cold reply, "I simply don't know what you mean."
Circling him slowly, Aiden kept his eyes on the boy, tapping his chin knowingly. "Well, I believe while you were the junior treasurer last year, the senior officer taught you his special techniques. How to influence, how to blackmail, how to," he stopped and whispered smoothly to the lion, "handle a riding crop." With those words, the lion jumped, feeling his rear sting from old memories.
"I'll be fine, sir. I have a little more grace and tact than my previous associates," the lion said slowly, trying to keep his tone clear and managed just as his training had taught him to speak when in heated situations.
"This isn't a normal academy, my dear Rian. You know the types of things that happen behind closed doors. I won't ask what you've done or had done to you; however, firmly believe that the students here are best suited to play our their biological desires rather than repress them. Don't you agree?"
"Yes, sir."
"After all, holding back what nature intended, I'm sure the students would become restless and edgy at all times. This way, we will promote the optimal learning environment, where my boys will be relaxed and focused. Correct?"
"Yes, sir, Mr. Headmaster."
"I see you've been well-trained. Very good," the wolf whispered. The setting sun filled the room with a surreal orange glow as the wolf's paws gently cupped the lion's face. "Come closer, my dear protégé. Time to put your training to use."
