The Favor
Story by Smokey Digsby
Gentetsu Takefuji belongs to BaconKing
Smokey belongs to SmokeyDigsby aka SmokeyDaBolfionSergenko
Smokey woke up in his dorm room one day, yawning loudly as he rose to start another monotonous day. He went about his usual morning ritual which consisted of brushing his red and blue fur, brushing his canine teeth and fluffing his tail before getting dressed. After he returned from his morning routine to his room he noticed that his roommate was still asleep. He sighed heavily as he walked over to the bed to attempt to wake up the giant blue wolf sleeping in the bed next to him... Again...
"Gen," Smokey stated as he shook the brute on the shoulder "Come on man it's time to get up or you'll be late for class again." Gentetsu (or Gen as he was better known as) stirred in his covers as he snored loudly. "Dammit Gen..." Smokey walked over to his bedside and grabbed what appeared to be an air horn out of his desk.
"Sorry dude. You asked for this." He said to himself as he pressed the button to the horn close to Gen's head. The giant blue ball of muscle jumped out of bed with a startle and immediately started flailing around in the covers he was tangled in.
"DAMMIT SMOKE!" Gen roared angrily at Smokey after he regained his composure. "I was having an awesome dream!"
"Well I'm sorry that I disturbed his majesty while he slept," the malamute snapped back sarcastically. "But you do realize it's almost time for your first class right?"
Smokey pointed at the clock that read 8:45 am meaning he and Gen had about 15 minutes to get to their first class. Gen grumbled as he walked off towards the bathroom to get ready. As he walked past Smokey just smiled and chuckled.
This was a normal day for the both of them. It usually starts with one of them, if not both of them, being late to class. Gen and Smokey have had this routine for the past 3 years they shared a room together. Gen was Smokey's best friend and vice versa. Smokey was the brains while Gentetsu was the brawn. When Smokey needed help moving something he called Gen first. If Gen needed help with a science project, he always had Smokey on speed dial. It was usually abnormal to see the two apart then together outside of class. However Smokey was grateful to have Gen in his life and he was certain Gen felt the same.
"Hey when you're done your Training Gear and Gi are on the desk." Smokey called out as he put on his jacket. "I got to get going."
"Thanks dude." Gen Called back from the bathroom
Smokey just chuckled. "Gen what would you do without me?" he asked himself. After he left the room to head for class.
A few minutes later, Gen emerged from the bathroom with his fur shining and glistening with water on the surface of it. He looked at the clock which read 8:55 am and he simply shrugged. He was the star of the school's martial arts team plus he was a B+ student. He wasn't really worried. Gen proceeded to put on his clothes for his Martial Arts class and but his gear in his bag. As he picked up his knee pads though, he noticed a note slip out onto the floor. "Meet me in the library at 4 pm sharp" it said with the words "DON'T BE LATE" written in red bold text. Gen could only surmise that Smokey write this letter since he recognized the handwriting. He chuckled to himself as he left his dorm room.
Gen and Smokey went about their days as usual. The only difference being it was quite cold outside and gen couldn't have his usual marital arts practice outside. When the clock started to reach 3:30 pm Gen collected his things and headed from the gym to the library.
"Gah... why the library Smoke?" he asked himself on the way there. "You know I hate the library." Gen just hated the quietness that surrounded the library. It always struck him as weird that no one ever made much noise outside of a scrapping chair and the occasional fart.
Gen reached the library about 5 minutes early, but he didn't see Smokey come in or out of the library. Others came and went looking at the giant wolf standing outside the library in a training outfit. When the clock reached 4:05 pm, he decided to stop waiting on Smokey and see what the hub bub was all about. What he didn't expect was what came next.
"SURPRISE!!!!!" Came exploding at him from all directions of the library. What was once a normally quiet and serene place was filled with noises and bright lights. Gen looked around in shock as confetti was thrown on and around him. The smell of bacon covered steaks wafted up his nose and he saw Smokey standing in the middle of all this with a sly smile on his face.
"I told you not to be late doofus." Smokey said as he went to give Gen a tight hug. "Happy Birthday bro."
Gen had completely forgotten his birthday was today. He was even more surprised at the party being thrown in the library just for him.
"Smokey how'd you manage this?" he asked with curiosity
"The dean owed me a favor," Smokey replied innocently, then he leaned in close "I caught him with Coach Bjomolf a couple week back and as a way to keep me quiet he's given me 3 favors" he followed up with a snicker.
"Damn you sly dog." Gen said with an impressed smile.
"Oh flattery will get you everywhere," Smokey replied handing Gen a piece of cake and a small box. "Happy Birthday Gen."
Gen took the box first and opened it. Inside was a small picture frame that held of a picture of an annoyed Smokey and a brutish blue wolf giving him a noogie in front of their dorm room.
"It's the picture we took the day we met." Gen said quietly. He remember that day fondly three years ago. Gen had just been assigned to Smokey's room after being kicked out of his last roommates room on the first day of the semester. Smokey was finally getting done unpacking and in comes Gen, barreling into the room and as he did so he accidentally stepped on Smokey's spare glasses. Smokey was kinda annoyed the rest of the day so Gen decided to treat Smokey to dinner at the school cafeteria. Not soon after they reach the cafeteria Smokey immediately starts getting harassed by some brutes in the food line. Gen noticed this and told them to back off or it'd be trouble, which in turn started a brawl in the middle of the cafeteria. Gen's only regret that day was not sending those fools to the hospital in a body bag. However they did wind up leaving the cafeteria on a stretcher. But he landed himself in the dean's office.
Smokey immediately rushed into the office and vouched for Gen's actions. They were with good intention and while he may have broken a few rules and maybe a dozen bones in the process the thought was greatly appreciated. Gen and Smokey were inseparable since that day. After that picture was taken Smokey and Gen did most everything together.
"Yea. I figured you forgot that as well doof," Smokey said with a smile "so I thought I'd remind you why we're best friends." Gen pulled Smokey into a very deep and tight hug which almost broke his back.
"Enjoy your party bro." Smokey said rubbing his back. "Tomorrow we can work on using those other favors."
"Definitely." Gen replied simply.
The night was filled with noise, laughter, music, and cake. Thing couldn't have been better for the two bros.
