chapter 3 - carter is the continuation of the story "life as we know it" it has been awhile since my last upload I'm going to try to upload more often now but we'll see


The next morning carter could feel the warmth of the sun beating down on his soft brown fur coat. Glistening in the sun He stretched his arms and legs out then realized Jason was no longer there. Carter frantically looked around the room to see if Jason was still in the room somewhere till He looked at the clock reading 930 and remembered Jason's comp class at 9 this morning. As he sat up his mind wandered back to all that had transpired the night before. Chills shoot up Caters spine, last night something in him began to stir, something that he hadn't felt since some time ago. It was as if he was turned on by Jason. "But how?" he thought. Carter got out of bed and walked over to the coffee pot which Jason had been so kind to leave on for him. He began thinking this was crazy, Jason knew he was straight, but still he really enjoyed last night. "why?" he thought again. Then he began to wander what Jason was thinking about all this. While he was drinking his coffee mixed with a bit of Kahlua in he decided he'd better get ready for government. He was the only junior in his class since he forgot to take the class as a freshman. Carter went over to his closet and grabbed a pair of ripped blue jeans and a muscles shirt. As he was getting dressed he couldn't get Jason out of his head, his masculine body, his muscle weren't huge but they were super defined, and with his fur trimmed down around his abs and pectorals. His gorgeous two-toned face. Catching himself in a daydream Carter grabbed his government book and left the dorms. He saw Rodney walking down the side walk.

"Hey Rodney wait up." He called.

"What's up Carter?" Rodney asked.

"Oh not much" carter replied

"I saw Jason today in comp he's seemed...... much better in fact he had more of a bounce in his step than normal, it was almost annoying." Rodney stated

"Really? That's good" carter said. The same feeling carter had last night as the two of them fell asleep had come back. It was as though every time he heard Jason's name a spark went off inside him.

Rodney and Carter were both on their way to government.

"So what'd you two talk about last night." Rodney asked. He was hoping to figure out what made Jason so happy today.

"Oh umm... Jewel called me last night and Jason figured everything out" Carter said slyly

"okay.... sooooo?" Rodney waited for more information

"You know about Jason and Sam's brother right?" Carter asked

"shit! She found out? Well that kinda fills in the blanks" Rodney stated "wait! what all do you know now? If you know about that."

"Jason came out to me last night, and well he didn't go into all the details. But for the most part I'm assuming he wasn't holding anything back."

"he usually doesn't" Rodney reassured carter "so that's it? That doesn't explain why he was all smiles this morning."

"Yea.. I don't know either" carter said unconvincing and avoiding eye contact and now realizing Jason must have thought more into being snuggled up with him.

Rodney and carter were outside the pre req building of AHU. They were about to go in when Rodney stepped in front of carter

"You're lying, I can tell you have the same upbeat way of caring yourself as Jason had" Rodney said sternly. "Forget government lets go for a walk we need to talk"

"No I'm not" Carter retorted quickly. "And I'm not skipping class."

"dude I'm majoring in psychology, and you're lying out your tail hole" Rodney had a bit of a growl in his voice. "we can talk about this now or later when Jason is around."

"fine we'll go for a walk but I'm stealing some of your cigs cause I'm out." carter replied lighting one up on the sidewalk.

Rodney and carter walk away from the pre req building, and down the sidewalk surrounding campus. The cool air of spring flowing through their fur. The trees were trying to bud but every time they did another last frost swept through the area knocking all the buds off the braches. That's march in Michigan for you though.

"So what went down last night, I won't judge or anything? I'm just curious because you two are my best friends and I just don't want this to change anything between us." Rodney asked

"Ok Rodney, here it goes... Carter took a deep breath.... we got pretty drunk, well at least Jason did he drank over half my bottle of three olive. We were feeling pretty good and so after we solved why Sam broke it off with him we went to the showers he kept looking over to me I was bit confused at first but I caught myself looking at him too. After that he wouldn't look at me, I thought I might have offended him or something. Anyways we went back to my dorm and I went to my bed. I was watching Jason as he was getting ready to lie down but instead of going to the couch where he normally sleeps when he comes over, he came to my bed and laid down next me. He lifted his head a little to look over at me but then I just put my arm around him and smiled I don't know why but I just wanted to. He didn't seem to mind in fact he smiled at me, so I smiled back and we fell asleep together there."

"uh huh.... I thought you were straight? Rodney asked

"I AM!" Carter quickly retorted "Well I think I am" Carter quickly looked down while twirling his thumbs

"That explains the smile." Rodney said under his breath.

"what'd you say?" Carter asked

"Nothing." Rodney smiled

"hey Rodney I have to ask you something"

"What's that Carter?"

"Well... I'm not saying I'm gay or anything but ... um has Jason ever said anything to you about me?... like you know." Carter's voice was broken up a bit. " I won't say anything to him if you tell me.

"I get what you're saying... well... he really has admired you since we met you back in September. I guess you could say it's like a crush" Rodney laughed a little. "Why? What are you planning on doing?"

"Oh it's nothing just I don't know yet. I was mostly just woundering." Carter replied

"Hey Just do me a favor Carter. Don't mess with his head. I think he may really like you"

"Trust me I won't....but I do need to talk with him about last night, cause i felt something last night that I haven't felt in a long time. something I've been missing that i used to have." Carter said on edge.

Carter took another cigarette from Rodney after letting his last one burned down. he light it up them looked at his watch reading 11:12 am. "Rodney is it weird to remember the feeling of something you haven't felt in years?"

Rodney searching his brain trying to remember different things from his psychology studies. "the only thing i could think of would be some sort of repressed memory that is starting to surface."

Well what would I have to do to remember it?" Carter asked.

"well you could put yourself in a similar situation as you were when you first felt that feeling or......." Rodney left off.

"or what!?" Carter asked frantically. " I can't just go up to Jason and say "hey wanna lay in bed together again tonight I need to find out if I'm gay?" How well do you think that'd play out!?"

"calm down this isn't the American Psychiatric Association approved method but it worked for my native ancestors before me and we can do it right here in the woods."

Rodney said as he pulled out a cheaply made glass pipe, two baggies with something in each one, and cigarette papers.

Carter raising his eyebrow. " damn you come Prepared."

" yup" Rodney responded picking up the cigarette papers and one of the baggies he began to pinch out some buds from the baggie. As he was rolling the joint he told Carter." This is going to relax you mind and prepare you."

I know what weed does smart ass, we smoke together all the time." Carter joked.

Rodney laughed as he put the freshly rolled j up to his lips and lit it up. He then passed it on to carter. "Well then why did i bring a bowl?"

Carter didn't think about that, Rodney always preferred a perfectly rolled joint over any other type of smoking device.

"I just got this in the mail from my cousin in Texas holding up the seeding baggie for Carter to see closer. "this my friend is salvia."

Carter passed the joint back to Rodney. "so is it a sativa or indicia?"

"not even in the same family man." As Rodney took a big hit and passed it back on to Carter. "this right here is a different plant. One that many believe allows you to see things in the past present and future."

"Rodney you know I don't do it unless mother earth produced it." Cater ripped a good hit of the j before handing back to Rodney for its final hit.

That's the beauty of it it's all natural and the effect are super intense but only last for a short time. My ancestors used it as a way to figure out problems. Rodney put out the roach before returning it to the bag in which it came. He then picked I'll the bowl and filled it with the salvia.

What an i suposed to do with it? Cater asked feeling the effects of the weed take full effect.

"First off get your ass off that log and sit on the ground up against that tree" Rodney point to a tree to the left of Carter. And Carter did so. "now hold this bowl. Just so we're clear this is your first time doing this right?"

"yep." Carter replied.

"alright then you're going to hit it like you're taking a big rip of weed through the bowl but you're going to hold it for as long as you can. As soon as you exhale you should feel it. It will feel like nothing you've felt before."

Yea that makes it seem so much better." Carter said with much sarcasm.

"but before you hit that take about five minutes of quiet to let the weed really settle in and relax you while thinking of nothing but the feeling you felt last night okay?"

"Rodger that Rodney."

Rodney lit up a cigarette and Carter began to think of his encounter with Jason last Night. It's started when Jason first came out of the closet to him the feeling escalated when they were in the shower together but then there it was that feeling peaked when he put his arm around Jason's neck. He could almost feel it again and Carter put the bowl to his lips and put the flame from a lighter over it, while covering the choke, began to take a long hit and he watched as the salvia quickly turned to ash and her let off the choke continuing to inhale till the bowl went out and held it in. In his head he began to count 1...2...3..... As he was counting and trying to hold on to that feeling he felt a weird numbness over his body ....7....8....9 the feeling didn't get any stronger though 11...12....13..he began to wonder if he did it right. Rodney said it would hit fast 15...16....17.. " huuuhhhhh! Cater exhaled deeply then shot straight up against the tree eyes wide open. The last words he could mutter were "what is this"

"It worked" Rodney thought to himself and then continued to watch.
