Dorms
"I'm a shapeshifter," Maria replied casually. She walked to her bed and moved her travel packs to the floor at the end of the bed. After rearanging the pillows against the wall, she sat down, looking over to Kitty with a sort of blank look.
Kitty grabed a pillow and layed at the end of her bed.
Maria watched Kitty then looked around the room. "So," she said.
"So you like fireworks?" Kitty asked, she was pretty much daydreaming at this point.
Maria continued to watch Kitty, but answered politely, "I don't mind them, if that's what you mean."
Unko simply smiled. "Take a few lucky guesses, I'll tell you if you're right."
Charlette tried to stand up, but fell down again on the hardwod floor. She shook her head and chuckled at hereslf, "Well first, can you help me up? I keep falling back down." She smiled up at Unko.
"That had to hurt. I'll prepare your bed at the morgue." Unko laughed while offering his hand to help her up.
"Ha ha," Charlette took Unko's hand and pulled herself up. Sh took back her hand and wiped off her clothes and glanced a the clock. "I have to go," she pulled Unko out of her dorm and turned and closed her door and locked it.
"What's the rush? Is a shoe sale ending in 5 minutes?" Unko said sarcastically.
Charlette turned, walking backwards. "No," she tried to explain, "I have to go meet my friends and I'm already a half an hour late." She smiled, "Sorry, we'll talk later, I guess."
Micheal watched the transformation indifferent to which form the woman was in. He listened as she asked who he was. "It's better manners to supply your name before asking for someone else's," he replied, almost coldly, but to him, he was simply supplying a fact. "Mine is Micheal Watson." He continued to watch the female standing outside his door, careful to keep his door and his stance somewhat nuetral in any way.
Charlette looked at Micheal, "Your right," she chuckled a bit. "I'm Charlette Costello, Vixen."
Nodding Micheal watched Charlette's eyes. "You transform into a thrice tailed fox," he said. "Right?" He already knew the answer, but didn't want to seem too informed on things. He took the liberty of knowing who did what.
Maria stood from the bed and moved to the door, the key now hanging around a ball chain around her neck and closer to her stomach than anything. "I'll be back later," she told Kitty. "Don't wait up." And with that, she exited the room, closing the doors behind her. She turned to walk back to the auditorium and noticed a blond girl talking to a rather tall dark brown haired boy who stood, blocking the door. She watched as she passed, but kept walking.
"Don't worry I won't." Kitty said under her breath.
Charlette smiled softly and leaned against the railing her back to it, "Well, Unko is a bit reserved at first I guess. As far as I know, he has telekinesis. That's all I've seen and school just started."
" Ah ...on
he has the sme power as me i hope nothing strange happens" Nathan said sighing. "So how much farther are the room?"
Charlette stood back up, "Oh right." She blushed, "Right over here. You guys are right next to me."
"Ummm...ok" Nathan said walking up to his door and turning speacking to Vixen, "thank you for your help im goin in now is he in there?"
Maria had just turned the corner when she saw Charlette and Nathan talking. She continued her pace, and seemed to completely ignore them until she stopped and looked to Charlette. "It seems we have something in common," she said, then glanced to Nathan, before returning attention to Charlette.
" Watching the woman with Charolotte, Nathan asked, "and you are?"
Unko opened the door and saw Nathan, Charlette, and Maria. "Charlette, nice to see you again. Who is this?" Unko asked looking at Nathan.
"....So you are Unko, I'm your room mate" Nathan said walking in the room past him.
"Nice to meet you, roomie." Unko said as he outside to let Nathan in.
As he and Unko walked in, Nathan noticed a cup fly at his face, as he dodged it he yelled, "why did you do that cause i didn't?"
Unko stopped the cup in mid-air. "What the hell are you doing?! That's my freakin' favorite cup!"
"What i didn't do it...... and you didn't do it
what the hell is happening i know he has the same power as me but this shouldn't be happening" Nathan thought to himself taking the cup and sitting it down where it had came from.
"Well, obviously you had to have done it. Why did you do it?" Unko asked Nathan while summoning his cup to him.
"Damnit i didn't do it!" Nathan shouted, "why would i throw a cup at myself!"
"Well, I certainly would have no reason to throw a cup at you... yet but that still leaves you and only you so spill it or I will have resort to take this into my own mind." Unko said.
"I have no idea what happened i didn't throw the cup and you are adamant that you didn't either so i don't know what to say" Nathan said glaring at Unko.
This is weird this shouldn't be happening just cause we have the same powers....wait he thought to himself before shouting, "did you read my mind when i walked in cause that could explain this cause i was thinking about us having the same powers and then the cup flew at me!"
Unko sighed. "No, I didn't read your mind but if I have to I will."
"You might not like what you find in there but i'm telling you i didn't do it, I've never even used my powers since i've been here" Nathan said sighing. "But i'm tired of this lttle game so can you just tell me where to put my stuff so i can go back to the auditorium?"
"Knowingly..." Unko muttered under his breath. The auditorium is down the hall to the right.
"....umm i know where the auditorium is i need to know where to put my stuff up at" Nathan said sighing.
"Who do I look like? Your mother? Put your stuff where you want for now." Unko said shaking his head.
"Fine then" Nathan said flinging every thing in the room then stopping it in mid air, "hows that for you" he aded walking away leaving it floating in the room.
Unko sighed before walking over to Nathan's bags and touch one of them making them all crash to the floor.
Charlette smiled at Unko and then looked at Maria,
What's going on? What do we have in common? She saw Nathan leave, she followed him, "Nathan? What's going on?"
"Nothing" Nathan snapped coldly back at her out of fustration
"Hey!" Charlette grabbed his arm and turned him toward her, her eyes narrowed slightly, "I was only asking! You can have your adittude, but don't take it out on me! I won't take it, got it?!"
Glaring at her, Nathan shook his arm free and snapped, "what ever."
Piper walked up the stairs and came face-to-face with Nathan, she narrowed her eyes, "Watch where you're going."
Charltte widen her eyes, wathcing Nathan and Piper, ready to step in if nessecary.
Waving his hand Nathan moved Piper out of his way as he kept down the stairs saying, "just leave me alone please i have to think."
Piper narorwed her eyes.
"NO Piper! You can't--" Charlette began, but stopped dead. She looked at NAthan.
When Piper narrowed her eyes, Nathan had turned to solid stone, "Try and think now." She walked up the stairs and into her room, smirking.
Charltte sighed and walked down the stairs to Nathan, and in the blink of an eye, he was back to normal. She looked up at him, since he ws taller than her, "Piece of advice, don't piss off a gorgon." She smirked slightly, trying to laugh.
"don't worry about me she won't get me again" Nathan sighed smirking a little.
"Yeah," Vixen smirked, "Well, if she does, I'll turn you back." She laughed lightly, and smiled slightly.
"Well anyway what's with waht happened in the room when i walked in neither of us used our powers and the cup flew at me that was weird do you think we are clashing or something?" Nathan asked slightly worried.
"Yeah," Vixen nodded her head, "Sounds a like Murphy's law." Vixen smiled up at Nathan.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Nathan asked her preplexed.
Vixen laughed, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." She blushed, "I'm a bit of a nerd."
Unko laughed. "Not at all, just very informed."
"....Ummm ok then
crazy people are taking over thw world" Nathan thought to himself as he walked up to Unko. "I think we got off to a bad start with that so do you think we should try this again?"
Matt smirked, and snuck up behind Vixen, "Boo!" He smirked.
Vixen screamed for a second before realizing who it was, "MATT!" She grabbed him by the collar and threw him down the flight of stairs. She glared at him.
Matt landed on his feet, laughing, "See you around, Vix!" He waved.
Vixen folded her arms, frowning slightly.
Taking his gaze of of Unko for a second, Nathan looked at the boy that Vixen threw down the stairs and asked, "why did you do that all he did was scare you?"
"Hmm?" Vixen turned around, her arms now by her side, "Oh..are you talking about Matt? He's a jerk!"
Unko laughed. "Watch it or she'll toss you next."
Turning his gaze back to Unko, Nathan said smiling, "I doubt that highly. Now are you going to answer me or do i have to throw you down the stairs to get an answer" he added smirking a little.
Vixen pushed Unko in the arm lightly, "I don't know him that well." She smiled at Nathan, "And you're probably right, I couldn't lift you."
"I'm not that big" Nathan said playfully, "but i can lift you" he added raising her up with his powers.
"Hey!" Vixen said as Nathan raised her up. She laughed a little, "Put me down."
Unko smiled and laughed. "Barbarian!" he yelled. "We all know women love it when you pick them up yourself." Unko said before snatching Charlette out of the air in his arm and started running down the hall with her.
"HEY!" Vixen yelled, laughing sligthly, "What is it, PLay around with Viexen day?"
"Not just you" Nathan said laughing while picking both her and Unko up with his powers. "What now" he added laughing.
"Oh please!" Unko said negating Nathan's powers with his own causing himself and Vixen back to the ground. "Now, as for 'Play around with Vixen' day just say the word and we'll make every Tuesday that." Unko said with a laugh.
"That works foe me but lets make it a tues-thurs thing that works better for me" Nathan said laughing slightly.
"What are you talking about?! Who said anything about *you*!" Unko yelled laughing.
"Me what about you" Nathan said running up to the both of them laughing slightly harder now.
"Me? Come off it now! Go find your own foxy lady!" Unko told Nathan. "Pun intended." Unko said to Charlette.
Vixen narrowed her eyes at Unko and Nathan, she got out of Unko's arms. "Or how about no 'Play around with Vixen Day'?" She lightly pushed Nathan, her hand on his chest. "Oh and Unko...That wasn't funny." Shleaned against the wall, sighing.
What's with these guys?,, she chuckled to herself.
Nathan stated without realizing he had never toldanyone he could read minds, "nothing is with us....Oops"
Vixen bumped Nathan in the chest with her shoulder as she stood up, laughing slightly.
"Well i'm not used to this yet i haven't been able too for long" Nathan said backing in the corner.
Vixen looked corcerned, "Able to do what?" She tucked some of her hair behind her ear.
"read minds what else" Nathan said shyly.
"Oh," Vixen blushed, laughing slightly.
"What it's new it's the whole reason i got disowned and came here i didn't know i was reading there minds and i lost it about what every one was saying behind my back. Even my own parents and I destroyed everything in a blind rage."
Vixen walked over to Nathan, placing her hand on his shoulder, "My parents died when I was four. My dad was a shapeshifter like me and my mom was a wiccan. I got raised by my friends' sick mom." She smiled softly at NAthan.
"I collapsed four houses on 20 people and my parents barely got out before i killed them too" Nathan said sighing.
Vixen sighed, "Yeah, well I didn't say what killed them though..." SHe looked out the window.
"...Oh" Nathan said looking out the window as well asking, "so how did it happen?"
Vixen kept looking out the window, "Let's jsut say it was an accident......
that I caused." Her eyes teared up a bit, but none spilled over.
"Ah i understand exactly how you feel" Nathan said sighing and putting his arm around her.
Vixen layed her head on his shoulder, the tears gone. She looked up at him, "I'm sorry, for what's it worth." Vixen didn't want to move, But I wouldn't mind sitting down though. I've been standing all day. she thought to herself. She sighed and closed her eyes.
"I've been standing all day to so it don't bother me a bit" Nathan said laying his head on hers lightly.
Vixen pushed on Nathan's chest, "I thought that for a reason. It was supposed to be in my head." She smiled, "But yeah, you didn't have to deal with twin grgons and a bad luck spirit. Not to mention the guy I threw down the stairs, who the bad luck spirit follows around." She smiled,But I still want to sit down.
"True just one gorgon, a crazy phycic, a nutty shapeshifter, and thats about it" Nathan said snickering a little.
Vixen pushed a bit harder on his chest, "Try a smart shapeshifter. And if I wanted, I could change, and you wouldn;t be able to find me." SHe smiled knowingly.
"You forget i'm a crazy phycic too i can find you by your thoughts" Nathan said laughing.
"Well, when I change. I'm not me, so good luck if you try," She smirked up at him, pulling her head off of his shoulder. She pulled away and slid down the wall, she smiled.
"What so are you leaving me" Nathan said playfully.
"We were never together," Vixen smirked.
"I was talking about leaving me here" Nathan said laughing.
Vixen nodded to the spot beside her, "Then join me here." He better not make me sit on him, she thought, closing her eyes.
Walking over to sit beside her, Nathan whispered in her ear, "don't worry i won't" before he fell down laughing.
"Good," Vixen smirked, her eyes still closed.
"So anyway don't you think we should move out of the hall before we get stepped on or run back into one of those gorgons?" Nathan said closing his eyes as well leaning up against Vixen.
Vixen opened one eye, looking at Nathan, "No, I know those gorgons. So they won't be a problem for you. That was Piper, she's the one you have to watch for. Short temper. Pure id the other one, she's very shy and sweet." She closed her eyes again and leaned back against the wall.
"Ah well if she tries to turn me to stone again, I'll turn her mind to mush" Nathan said harshly.
Vixen pulled her head back, "She won't and don't threaten my friends."
"did you forget she attacked me" Nathan said, " and that wasn't a threat that was based on her own actions if she doesn't use her powers on me then i won't use mine on her it's that simple."
"Fine, she won't," Vixen leaned back against the wall, closing her eyes.
"Then i will do nothing to her" Nathan said lying his head back as well thinking,"why is she being so nice to me i barely even know her?"
Angel had appeared directly in front of both Nathan and Charlette, and took a few steps back to steady herself. Brushing off her outfit, she noticed the two of them and leaned her head slightly to her right. "What are you two doing?" she asked, calmly and as if it was a completely natural conversation.
Rain sat on her bed in her dorm trying to concentrate on her powers.
Maria woke to a thumping noise, that vanished once her eyes opened. Stupid dream, she thought, rubbing her eyes and forehead. She looked over and saw Kitty wasn't in the room. She stood, stretched, and looked around at her things. She had taken time to put things away before she too left the dorm room, but she didn't leave the area. Instead, she knocked on a random dorm room number, one where she couldn't hear barely a sound. She kept her original appearance and hoped that whomever occupied the room would hurry and open the door.
Micheal arrived at his dorm room, with Zim still nuzzled against him. He hadn't said a word the entire trip, nor did he when he opened the door. Silently, he lead Zim into his room, hoping to change before too long. He disliked how lengthy his body was, despite the toned muscle.
Zim walked in and looked around."You have a very nice room.Much cleaner than mine is."She gave a sweet smile to Micheal.
"I'm the only person in the room," Micheal said, removing a black sleeve-less shirt from his dresser. He slipped it over his torso, the cloth stretching slightly, giving a skin-tight appearance. He'd also found a pair of black pants, similar to the ones he had on before, but different in subtle designs. This time, he simply laid them on the bed, his previous pair of pants echoing that of long shorts, and he never really minded much. The carpet underneath his bare feet seemed to itch just the right places and he sat down on the bed for hisself, watching Zim.
Zim sat down on the floor and closed her eyes.She breathed in threw her nose,inhaling the smell of the room,and Micheal."Its very tranquil here...I have my own room,but I get extremely messy when I'm fustrated."She smiled up at him.Her dull red eyes were lit up with happiness and a sense of caring.
Micheal's smile seemed unnoticed by him as he looked back to Zim. It was strange to feel protective, but want so much for someone, and it was completely new to him. "I enjoy peace and quiet," he said, a broader smile adding to his calm, somewhat timid voice.
"So do I...Well,accually,I prefer listening to music and drawing...Its very relaxing.."Zim sighed softly stretched her arms,cut marks showing on her wrists.
Questions flitted across his mind when Micheal noticed the marks, but he refused their calling. "I don't listen to music that often," he said, concern drifting over his face, more apparent than the brand new feeling for Zim he'd had since meeting her, or so he would come to realize.
Zim blinked when she saw his consern.She looked at her wrists and smiled."Oh...These old things...I use to be a really messed up and depressed kid."
Micheal's concern faded, but didn't dissappear. "'Used to be' are the key words there," he said, somewhat releived. He looked at the pair of pants to his left before looking back to Zim, contemplating on what he was going to say that would allow him a few minutes to change his pants.
"If you want me to turn around so you can change,I will."Zim smiled and turned around,staring at a wall.
Micheal was surprised by this. I wonder if she's telepathic, he mused as he slipped the torn, ripped, and basically useless pants only to slip on what appeared to be better condition ones. The subtle differences didn't stick out enough to take more notice in than one would for different sized feet. "Thanks," he told her, sitting with his back against the side of his own bed. "I'm done."
Zim turned back around and smiled up at him.She kep staring derectly into his eyes.She thought they were like gems.
Suddenly, Micheal's face seemed to eminate his bang's color: red. He broke the direct gaze by looking away, as if trying to find a place to put his torn pants. He stood and dropped them in a basket next to his dresser and made sure all the drawers were shut after pulling out a few extra things he normally wore. He seemed to take his time to put them on before he couldn't think of anything else to do. He simply stood before his own dresser, as if waiting to see what Zim wished to do.
Zim just smiled sweetly.She got up and walked over to Micheal,wrapping her skinny arms around his stomach.She nuzzled his back,small tears forming in her eyes.
"Well vixen...I guess i will see you in the morning..." Nathan siad smiling as he stopped at his room.
"Or you cane come in for a bit, My roomate's still out," Vixen looked at him.
"You don't mind..." Nathan asked.
"No.." Vixen shook her head, she leaned back against the door to her dorm.
"Well if your sure..." Nathan said smiling.
'I'm sure," Vixen smiled, opening the door, and grabbed Nathan's shirt, taking him inside with her.
"Ok then..." Nathan said laughing lightly as she drug him in.
Vixen closed the door, she smiled and went and sat on her bed.
Walking over sitting down beside her, Nathan asked smiling, "well now that you have me what do you want to do..."
"I'm thinking Kiss, but if you have something else in mind," Vixen laughed.
"What ever you want..." Nathan said leaning over to kiss her.
Vixen kissed him, smiling.
Rolling over, Nathan laid them down and kissed her again softly moving down slowly.
Vixen giggled smiling.
"Whats so funny.." Nathan asked smiling as he gently brushed her bangs off her face.
Vixen smiled, leaning up and kissed him.
Smiling as well, Nathan pulled her ontop of him and placed his hands around her waist leaning into the kiss.
Vixen rolled over so she was on the bottom, still kissing Nathan.
This works even better.. Nathan said smiling kissing her again rubbing her leg with one of his hands gently.
Vixen wrapped her leg gently around one of his, she smiled into the kiss.
Smiling himself, Nathan continued kissing her while he ran his fingers through her hair with one of his hands.
Vixen smiled, she pulled away to breathe, she leaned her forhead agianst his.
Breathing slightly heavy, Nathan muttered inbetween breaths, "I thought we were just kissing...." before smiling.
"Kissing..sometimes..becomes more," Vixen panted out, smirking.
"....I'm nervous..." Nathan said looking away slightly.
A blush finally broke free and spread across Vixen's face.
"Why are you blushing.." Nathan said turning to reveal his blood red face.
Vixen just blushed some more, buring her face into his chest, "Why are you blushing?" it was slightly mumbled.
"Because I'm nervous..." Nathan said turning away slightly again.
Vixen just laid down, closing her eyes.
"whats wrong..." Nathan asked laying beside her smiling lightly.
"Nothing," Vixen smiled, cuddling against Nathan.
"Good..." Nathan said smiling kissing the top of her head as he wrapped his arms around her.
Vixen laid her head on his chest, closing her eyes.
"I think I'm falling in love with you..." Nathan said closing his eyes as well.
Vixen had already dozed off, not hearing abything.
Smiling, Nathan dozed off wrapped around her.
Vixen fell into a deep sleep, using Nathan as her pillow.
Soon falling asleep as well, Nathan uncoiled from around her and snugged in next to her.
Vixen woke up around midnight and walked over to the closet, getting a silky black blanket, she laid it over them and cuddled back agianst Nathan.
"Are you awake.." Nathan whispered not even opening his eyes.
"Hm...yes and no," Vixen cuddled closer, trying to stay in the warmth.
"Huh..." Nathan said smiling lightly as she cuddled in closer.
"Yes, I'm awake, and no, I'm trying to go to sleep," Vixen chuckled lightly.
"Oh...ok then i will just tell you in the morning then..." Nathan said smiling putting his arms around her.
"No..what?" Vixen looked up at him.
Already asleep again, Nathan rolled a bit under her when she moved up.
Vixen shook him lightly, "You better tell me...you got me awake now..."
"Huh...tell you wh....oh i just wanted to say i love you because you were asleep when i said it earlier..." Nathan said smiling before falling back asleep.
Vixen blushed, "...What?"
Already asleep again, Nathan never heard anything she said.
Still blushing, Vixen shook Nathan lightly, "...Nathan..." She laid her head in his chest, thinking about what Nathan said.
"Huh..." Nathan blurted jumping up, "Oh i'm sorry what do you need.." he added smiling.
Vixen almost fell off the bed, but righted herself, "...Nothing...."
"Wait why are you blushing...." Nathan asked curiously.
"No reason," Vixen laid back down.
"Its because of what i said..." Nathan said beginning to blush himself now.
"Yes and no," Vixen breathed out.
"Huh...?" Nathan asked confused again.
Vixen sat up, turning to face him, "I loved to hear that, but I'm not ready just yet to say it."
"I understand...I won't force you too just say it when you feel is right..." Nathan said smiling.
"I will," Vixen smiled, kissing him.
"Good.." Nathan said smiling more as she kissed him.
Vixen laid back down, smiling.
"Get some sleep...."Nathan said smiling lying back down beside her snuggling back in.
Vixen lightly nuzzled Nathan, smiling and closed her eyes.
Smiling lightly as Vixen snuggled closer to him, Nathan closed his eyes and quickly fell into a deep slumber.
Vixen felt a calmness wash over her, and she fell asleep.
Kitten was making her nightly rounds to check on the students, she saw that Nathan and Vixen were asleep, It would be a shame to wake them up. She smiled to herself, closing the door and looked to check in on Unko.
Unko just stared at Kitten when she entered the room. "Can I help you?"
"Just checking on everybody," Kitten smiled, she leaned against teh doorway, "So what do you think of the school?" She brushed her long black bangs out of her face, smiling softly.
"It's alright, I suppose." Unko said shrugging his shoulders. "You're a teacher, right?"
"Yeah, history, but I'm only filling in until a permanet teacher comes in," Kitten smiled. "I'm Kitten by the way."
"I'm Unko Taloc but I'm sure you already knew that." Unko said
Startled by her sudden embrace, Micheal looked over his shoulder at Zim. He tilted his head and repositioned an arm around her shoulders, managing to twist around to face her, his own toothpick-like body easily manuvering between her arms. "What's wrong?" he asked, seeing the forming tears.
Zim kept het her skinny arms around him.The tears fell slowly from her eyes."I-I was so worried about you...I thought there was nothing I could do.."
Blinking at her concern, Micheal found himself stuck between two things. He could lie and say he had control over it, not to do that again, or he could tell her the truth, both of which seemed to have a dismal outcome, at least at first glance. Before he could stop himself, however, he alerady begun to explain his situation. "I change every month, on the new moon." He paused. "I usually can control when I change on any other day..." He stopped and placed his other arm around her, feeling more natural to return her hug.
Zim smiled."You told me about...A creature....You can't control him on the new moon?"She looked up at him,her own past haunting her and creeping from the back of her mind.
Micheal nodded, looking back to Zim. "When there's no moon in the sky," he added, trying to figure out if this triggered something in her mind that was making her worry.
Zim whimpered and nuzzled his chest softly."I don't want to loose you...I lost my best friend almost the same exact way..."
Micheal blinked and then smiled. "You're not going to lose me," he told her, placing his other arm around her. "It's not as uncontrolable as it sounds." He laid his cheek on Zim's forehead, gently.
Zim smiled softly and nuzzled his cheek."I feel a special connection between me and you..That I haven't felt between anyone in a long time...."
"Hey...are you awake..." Nathan muttered stirring slightly.
"I am now..." Vixen shifted alittle to get comfy again.
"Some body peeked in a while ago...i think it was a teacher..." Nathan said sighing.
"Yeah, it was Kit-"Vixen yawned, "-ten."
"Ok..." Nathan said yawning as well.
Vixen sat up streaching, "Well now I'm awake."
"Well...I...am....too...." Nathan tried to say before collapsing unconcious.
Vixen rolled her eyes, "Guys." She climbed out of bed, and started up her labtop.
"What about guys..." Nathan asked bouncing up.
"I'm talking to the guys," Vixen smiled, "The ones from back home."
"Oh...I have no friends from where i lived..." Nathan said sighing as he sat up beside her.
"Aww, I'm sorry," Vixen placed down the computer and slid onto Nathan's lap.
"It's ok...it was my fault anyway...i should have gotten more control over myself..." Nathan said sighing.
"That's why we're here," Vixen said.
"I know..." Nathan said as a hint of a smile appeared on his face, "but i will need alot of practice to gain control just to the level Unko has..." he added.
"It's gonna take me a ton of work jsut to even try to get control," Vixen looked at the floor.
"Yeah..I wish mine was more physical...then it wouldn't be so hard...i would just have to train my body...not my mind.." Nathan said sighing heavily.
"Oh, no it's mental and physical, trust me," Vixen sighed.
"Oh no i wasn't talking about you...I just wished i had something different is all...this is so hard to control.." Nathan said correcting himself.
"Well would you ratehr be the daughter of the devil, a gorgon, a dragon, or um..a wind manipulater?" Vixen smirked.
"Just something easier to control..." Nathan replied laughing lightly at her comment.
"Nothing's easy to control, you have to work at it," Vixen smiled.
"I know.....expecially you..." Nathan said laughing.
"Hey!" Vixen hit him on the arm.
"Well you are hard to control...but i like that.." Nathan said laughing as he rubbed his arm.
"You're no walk in the park either!---wait, what?" Vixen said.
"I said i like that about you..." Nathan said laughing, "and i am just as hard to control.."
"Well, I liek you too, and you are." Vixen smirked.
"No I'm not...you just don't know how to yet is all.." Nathan said laughing more now.
"You just said you were!" Vixen laughed.
"I was being sarcastic...I'm harder to control..." Nathan said smiling.
Vixen stuck her tounge out at him.
"Hey..." Nathan said smiling as he kissed her.
Vixen smiled, wrapping her arms back around his neck.
"Its almost morning.." Nathan said almost sadly, "we will have class soon..."
"Classes don't start until the afternoon," Vixen smirked, "I saw so online."
"Well that's good...it means i have more time with you..." Nathan said smiling kissing her again.
"Yes it does," Vixen kissed him back.
"What do you want to do until then..." Nathan asked smiling as he returned her kiss more intensely this time.
"What do you think?" Vixen smirked, holding him close.
"I don't know...but i'm up for anything you want to do..." Nathan said smiling kissing her again.
"Well i'll give you a hint, I don't want to move," Vixen smirked.
"....ok..." Nathan said shaking his head laughing slightly before kissing her again and laying them both down.
Vixen giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"You know that wasn't that good of a hint...I kinda already knew that..." Nathan said laughing.
"I know, but you wouldn't let up," Vixen laughed, "So I had to do something."
"Well now...what do you want to do then..." Nathan asked laughing a little less now.
Vixen leaned up and kissed him.
thats all I needed to know.. Nathan thought smiling as he returned the kiss carressing her side gently.
Vixen smiled into the kiss.
Nathan slowly moved from her lips down to her neck nipping lightly and leaving a small hickey where he bit.
Vixen bit Nathan on the lower part of his neck.
Wincing slightly, Nathan smiled saying, your fangs are still sharp...but I like it....
I don't have fangs, only when I'm a fox, Vixen smirked, nipping at his earlobe.
I.. "ah" ...I..know...that.... Nathan replied letting out a slight moan.
Vixen smiled.
"I was trying to say..I know that i was just playing..." Nathan whispered in her ear softly blowing in it.
Vixen shivered, smiling.
"Well now.." Nathan said smiling as he nipped her ear.
Vixen's computer beeped, and she jumped, "Oh my god!" She moved it toward her, "It's Luna, hang on." She typed something, she turned back to Nathan, smiling, "Okay where were we?"
"About here..." Nathan said smiling as he began kissing down her neck and onto her shoulder.
"Can we go back up to the bed?" Vixen whispered into his ear.
"Of course..." Nathan said smiling picking her up and stepping backwards a few times then falling onto the bed laughing.
Vixen laughed, she kissed him again.
"Whats so funny...I tripped over my shoe laces.." Nathan said laughing before kissing her back.
Vixen just smiled, she pulled Nathan closer to her.
Smiling as she pulled him to her, Nathan kissed her intensly and pulled her ontop of him kissing her again.
Vixen held onto him tightly, kissing him back.
Wrapping his arms around her tightly as well, Nathan deepened the kiss.
Vixen pulled away, smiling.
"What..." Nathan asked smiling.
"Just had to breathe," Vixen smiled.
"Oh...." Nathan stuttered before bursting out with laughter.
"What's so funny?" Vixen asked.
"I...don't...know...I...can't stop...laughing..." Nathan said gasping for air still laughing wildly.
Vixen leaned down, kissing Nathan.
I'm serious...I can't stop laughing... Nathan rang in her mind almost as if he were screaming.
Vixen leaned back, frowning, "Hang on, I think I remeber a spell...How'd it go?.... Oh yeah, Arrestare questa risata, arrestano questo grido dall'evasione delle labbra ancora."
Its..not....... Nathan tried to say before passing out cold but still breathing.
"That wasn't supposed to happen..." Vixen mumbled. She slapped him across the face.
".....Why did you hit me...." Nathan asked nearly breathless as he woke up slowly.
"It was the only way I could think of that would wake up up," Vixen smiled slightly, "...Sorry..."
"Its ok...but next time say something first...I was already awake when you hit me...I just hadn't opened my eyes yet..." Nathan said rubbing his face grumbling incoherently.
"I'm sorry...oh, I'm sorry..." Vixen mumbled,biting her lip.
"There is no need...I already said it was ok.." Nathan said smiling at her.
"No I slapped you..I'm sorry," Vixen said, "Can I do anyting for you?"
"Well...you can stop saying your sorry..." Nathan replied smiling as he leaned up and kissed her on her cheek.
"Oh, sorry..." Vixen realized she apologized, "opps, sorr-" Vixen sighed, chuckling.
"You are hopeless..." Nathan said smiling as he kissed her.
Vixen smirked, nipping at Nathan's neck.
Nathan smiled flinching lightly as she nipped him and he kissed her again nibbling at her lip.
Vixen pulled him close, smiling.
Nathan smiled more as she pulled him to her while he kissed her again.
Vixen rolled back over, smiling into the kiss.
"Hey..I liked that..." Nathan said smiling before he kissed her again.
"Well I like this..." Vixen smirked, nipping lightly at his earlobe.
"Well this is better anyway.." Nathan said smirking as they both began to float and he rolled over under her now.
Vixen nodded, yawning slightly.
"Are you that tired..." Nathan asked smiling yawning as well.
Vixen had dozed off, some of her blonde hair falling into her face.
A few hours later Nathan stirred slightly rolling over.
Vixen whined in response, although she was asleep.
"What.." Nathan mumbled as she whined yawning loudly.
Vixen didn't stir, instead she rolled over onto her side, shivering a bit.
Nathan smiled yawning again as he yanked the blanket out from under him and snuggled closer to her covering them both with it.
Vixen smiled softly, she rolled over, stirring slightly. She kissed Nathan, and cuddled against him, pulling the blanket closer.
Smiling as she kissed him, Nathan wrapped up to her and put his leg inbetween hers and draped his arm around her gently.
Vixen hooked leg around his, and gently placed her hands on his chest, smiling soflty.
Micheal glanced to his door and smiled. "It's good one of us knows what we're doing, then," he said.
"What do you mean?"Zim blinked.
Micheal simply shrugged and smiled so strangely it seemed he'd never have a normal looking face again. He'd hoped for a laugh.
Zim smiled and giggled."You're so cute..."She blushed,realizing what she had said.
Micheal smiled naturally, now. He then seemed drowzy for the slightest noticable moment, but regained his composure. "Are you hungry?" he asked.
Zim smiled."Alittle."She bit her lip."Micheal...?"
"Yeah?" Micheal replied, uncertainly as a question would be asked. His eyes seemed to soften and his head naturally tilted towards Zim.
Zim blushed and bit her bottom lip.She avoided eye contact."Um..Can I...Kiss you...?"
Kitten shook her head, "There are a lot of students, you think I memorized them all?" She chuckled.
"Then don't memorize. Know." Unko chuckled.
"Easier said then done," Kitten laughed, "With all the names I have to know."
"There's less than the average attendance to any other school so it shouldn't be that hard." Unko said.
Kitten stuck out her tounge out at Unko, "Okay then mister smartie pants."
Unko gave a small grin. "You're welcome."
Kitten chuckled, "Funny..."
Unko gave a slight head bow. "Thank you."
"You're a telepath right?" Kitten asked.
"Yes, my powers dabble in telepathy a little." Unko said.
"Just don't read my mind," Kitten winked.
"Any particular reason why I shouldn't?" Unko with a slight smirk.
"Well reading a vampire's mind isn't what most people what want to see," Kitten smirked, tucking her bangs back.
"You think I haven't already seen it all? You wouldn't happen to be trying to hide something from me using your vampiric past to cover it now, would you?" Unko questioned.
"Maybe," Kitten smirked, "My mind has many levels to it, you'll only see what I present."
"You greatly underestimate me then." Unko said with a grin.
"Oh no, I know the extent of your powers, but no one has broken through to my mind," Kitten smiled widely.
"What exactly are you trying to say then?" Unko asked.
"Exactly what I said. Unko, I don't beleive in double talk," Kitten said.
"Excuse me. What I meant was it seems like you're negating yourself by saying that I'm not able to explore the void that is your mind but yet I am. Which is it?" Unko corrected.
Kitten smiled teasingly, "Now that's the right question to ask.."
"That's what I said before but you just didn't take it like I meant it to." Unko chuckled.
Kitten smiled teasingly, "Watch it you or I'll stick you with an unwanted partener tomorrow..."
"Oh? And what would that entail?" Unko asked.
"Aww..now I can't give away my favorite project of the year, "Kitten purred, smirking.
"I could easily find out by highjacking your mind, you know? But I won't. It seems like too much of a hassle when I'm sure some curious soul will find out for me." Unko said with a tiny grin.
Micheal blinked lightly before he said, "Yeah."
Zim smiled and blushed a little.She leaned up and gently pressed her lips against his.
At this point, Micheal remembered the many movies he'd seen with a romantic kiss involved, and in this case, it felt so different. As if he was told on cue, he embraced her with both arms, his own eyes closing.
The pink hue on Zim's face slowly began to fade.She wrapped her skinny arms around his shoulders and carressed his neck.
One of Micheal's hands had found Zim's cheek just above her neck. He couldn't help but think in the back of his mind, How did this happen to me? but in such a happy tone, he wasn't sorry for it at all.
Zim shivered softly and smiled to herself.She broke the kiss and looked up at Micheal,blushing.
Micheal's naturally straight, almost emotionless face had taken to glowing from this. He let his hand travel from her cheek, down her neck and arm, until it had to jump down to her waist. It seemed odd to simply stand there, but at this moment, he simply drank in the image of her.
Zim's face was pink once more,but she just smiled and kept her thin arms around his shoulders.It was odd,but she liked it.She smiled up at him."M-Micheal..?I..Um..need to tell you something.."
"Vixen...something is wrong...I..I..I can't control my powers..." Nathan mumbled breathlessly as he looked up and saw that they were no longer in her room.
Vixen didn't stir, she had fallen into a deep sleep.
"Vixen...We are floating on your damn bed in the air..." Nathan shouted shaking her awake.
Vixen stirred a bit, she blinkrd, closing her eyes, and they were back in her dorm.
"Was that a dream of yours...." Nathan asked looking at her confusedly.
"Hmm nmm...yours...." Vixen yawned.
"So which one of us projected it then..." Nathan asked confusedly.
"You di..."Vixen trailed off goign back to sleep.
"I did..." Nathan mumbled, "I didn't know that..I...could do that..."
"Nathan...go to sleep.." Vixen said, as her alram went off. She whined lightly, getting up and shut it off. She stood streching, her backside to him.
"Well that just blew that idea..." Nathan snickered.
Vixen playfully glared back at Nathan, changing into a panther and streched some more before changing back to herself. She walked over to her closet, Now what to wear? She had rearranged her clothes to her liking.
"Hey is class startin soon or something..." Nathan asked standing up.
"IN the afternoon, remember?" Vixen pulled out a black dress, it had rips and chunks were gone out of it. SHe blushed hard, she mutter under her breath, "I thought I got rid of that.." Shw threw it back into her closet, looking through her clothes again.
"I know that...what time is it.." Nathan asked walking over to her.
Vixen blushed, trying to hide the dress, "Uhh...about nine..."
"You know you don't have to hide that...I saw it when you pulled it out..." Nathan said blushing lightly.
Vixen blushed even more, "uh..it's not from you're probably thinking...."
"How do I know until you tell me.." Nathan siad smiling
"It was Luna....." Vixen blushed, "Long story...." She turned back to her closet and pulled out a black halter and a jean skirt with black boots. "You stay here or go get your clothes or whatever, but do not follow me..." Vixen headed to the bathroom.
Aww I wanted to go with you... Nathan replied with a smirk as he walked over to the door, "I'll be right back..I'm going to change too.." he said walking over to his dorm.
Vixen changed and threw her dirty clothes in the hamper. She picked up her laptop and placed it on her desk and sat in the chair, surfing the web, waiting for Nathan to come back.
"Hey..." Nathan said smiling as he walked in.
"Hey," Vixen smiled over her shoulder.
"So what do you want to do until class starts.." Nathan asked sitting down on her bed.
"No idea," Vixen shut the laptop, and went and sat next to Nathan.
"you didn't have to do that i was fine.." Nathan said blushing slightly.
"Do what?" Vixen looked up at Nathan.
"Leave what you were doing I was fine just watchin you.." Nathan said blushing a little more now.
Vixen laughed lightly, "I was only on bored.com, nothing really specail on there."
"Well I thought you were talking to your friends again.." Nathan said chuckling lightly.
"Maybe but the only student who knows what the project is Luna," Kitten smiled.
"That doesn't mean there won't be others." Unko answered.
Kitten laughed, "Yes...when I tell the class..."
"Then why the secrecy?" Unko asked.
Kitten smiled, "None, just thikn not many people will go for the idea, that's all..."
"That's the same thing as secrecy." Unko said.
"Well, I'm a teenager..." kitten laughed.
Unko shook his head and laughed. "So am I. That's not an excuse."
"I just used at one, so what now?" Kitten smiled, standing up.
Unko just shook his head. "How'd they end up hiring you? Usually they go for older, sometimes more boring people."
"Anything," Micheal said. It seemed to come out faster than he meant it, but he still meant it. He was always called a great listener.
"I-..."She paused and summonded up all her courage."I think..I think I realy...Like you...Like..Like you.."
Micheal didn't know how to take this news. He didn't know whether to be happy or to be shocked. He also didn't know if he should say the same, but he'd never, never felt the way he did when he was with Zim. He smiled and kissed her forehead, not knowing what else to do.
Zim smiled softly."I know you don't feel the same way for me..But I just wanted you to know my feelings for you..I know I must sound stupid...A stupid girl like me,liking an amazing guy like you..."
Micheal blinked, shocked she called him amazing. "Really? You think I'm amazing?" he asked, amazed and awed he'd been called that. Within a few seconds he'd pushed a stray hair from her forehead and added, "You're not stupid...I just don't know how to respond." The last part was quieter than saying she wasn't stupid. He hated to admit he was dumbfounded for responses, but it was true and he didn't want to hide the truth from her.
"I don't think you're amazing..I know it.."Zim smiled.She felt so weak compared to the boy infront of her."I am stupid..Everyone knows it..I'm just an obediant stray dog..."She talked as though she was happy about insulting herself.
Vixen laughed, shaking her head, "No, just browsing around..."
"Alright then..." Nathan said smiling as he climbed behind her and started rubbing her neck.
Vixen squeaked lightly, she covered her mouth for a second, "What are you doing?" She smiled.
"Nothing...do you want me to stop..." Nathan asked as he continued rubbing her neck and moved to her shoulders slowly.
"No...I'm just really ticklish..." Vixen giggled, she squirmed a bit when Nathan rubbed a ticklish spot on her shoulder.
"Oh really..." Nathan said with a small smirk.
"...Yesss..." Vixen replied, wondering what Nathan was up to.
"So if I just did this...." Nathan said rubbing his fingers against her ribs softly.
"Stop it!' Vixen laughed, squirimg slightly. She clutched at Nathan's hands, trying to hold them still.
"You should know I don't need those..." Nathan said smiling as he shirt ruffled and began tickling the same place.
Vixen laughed louder, she accidently fell backwards onto Nathan. She squirmed when he continued to tickle her.
"I think that's enough torturing you for one day..." Nathan said laughing as the tickling ceased.
"I'm gonna get you back," Vixen playfully glared at Nathan.
"You would have to be able to get to me first..." Nathan replied laughing as she slowly floated in the air.
"Please put me down, I was comfy," Vixen said, a small frown on her face.
"Of course..." Nathan said smiling as he lowered her into his lap.
Vixen closed her eyes, a content expression on her face.
"So what do you want to do until class starts..." Nathan whispered in her ear.
"Stay right here," Vixen whispered softly back.
"I think I can manage that..." Nathan said smiling as he kissed her neck sensually.
Vixen shivered, she pulled Nathan's face toward hers and kissed him.
A smile formed as Nathan deepened the kiss happily.
Vixen pulled Nathan closer, smiling softly into the kiss.
Nathan layed back smiling as he pulled her down to him and kissed her again.
Vixen rolled over so he was on top, this time she deepened the kiss.
"You wanted to be ontop last time..." Nathan smirked returning the kiss.
"No, you wanted me to be on top..." Vixen kissed him again.
"Bah I hate simantics..." Nathan replied smiling widely.
Vixen stuck her tounge out at Nathan, as her laptop began to beep. 'Oh, that's Prue and Piper's mom, hang on," Vixen pushed Nathan off of her and rushed over to the computer to answer the message.
"Ok.." Nathan said startled slightly.
Vixen sighed in relief, "She's feeling better..." She smiled widely.
"Whats going on...did they turn someone else into stone.." Nathan asked sarcastically.
Vixen turned to Nathan, completely serious, "She raised me when no else would, and she was sick-and still is." With that vixen turned back to her computer.
"Oh...i'm sorry then..." Nathan muttered slightly embarrased.
"It's alright...please just don't assume things about them, their my family.." Vixen said softly.
"It wasn't an assumption just a joke but I am still sorry none the less..." Nathan replied looking away.
Vixen closed her laptop after writing a response, she walked over to Nathan, kneeling in front of him with ehr back to him. She laid her head on his lap, closing her eyes.
Nathan smiled as he layed back on the bed and played with her hair.
Vixen stood up, and laid next to Nathan, nuzzling him.
Nathan moved closer to her snuggling against her as he kissed her cheek smiling and closed his eyes again.
Vixen looked out the window, the sun was shining through."Let's go outside, it's nice out," She smiled.
"Alright then.." Nathan said smiling as he sat back up with slight bags under his eyes.
"But you look tired, maybe we should stay inside then..." Vixen voiced, conerned.
"I'm always tired It will be fine..I just can't get a good night's sleep until I can control my powers...or they go haywire when I dream...." Nathan muttered yawning loudly.
"WEll how about we just go to the HSG Tree Grove and relax?" Vixen said, standing up.
"Sure why not.." Nathan said smiling as he stood, " you lead the way..."
"I'm best friends with the principal and, I kinda own the school," Kitten smiled.
"The personal network? That makes me doubt your skill as a teacher." Unko said.
"Hey! I already went through college four times, and I'm only 19. So I think I can teach a couple of teens," Kitten playfully glared at him.
"You only think you can. You have no prior teaching education I'm guessing because you were probably just offered the job when they decided to start this school, which right there is why." Unko said with a smirk and shook his head a little.
"Ha. That's cute. But I think you forgot, I own the school, I made the school, and started it," Kitten smiled.
Unko laughed. "I'm sorry, that then clearly states my point."
Kitten walked over to him, playfully glaring, she hit him lightly on the arm, "You think that's funny, do you?"
"You and your redundant questions." Unko laughed.
Kitten leaned forward slightly, not realizing she did and stuck her tounge out at Unko.
Unko laughed and used his powers to grab her tongue. "Didn't mother ever tell you that it's not nice to stick your tongue out at people?"
When Unko used his powers, Kitten used her's to try and block them, but instead, she started to fall forward.
Unko leaned forward and caught her before she could hit the floor. "Clumsy now, aren't we?" Unko said with a laugh.
Kitten had placed her hands on his shoulders to balance herself. She smiled, "Yeah, sometimes, but this was due to the power clash."
"I know that. You tried to negate me and didn't use enough to break through, hence why you fell." Unko added.
"Yes, I know that," Kitten said, now aware that her hands were on his shoulders. She blushed slightly.
Unko cocked an eyebrow to feign a look of confusion when he knew full well about the situation.
Kitten lifted her hands, up, "Uh..you can let go of me you know...." The blush still there.
"You need to stand up." Unko said letting go.
"Thanks..." Kitten stood up straight.
"You're very welcome." Unko said sitting back down normally on his bed.
kitten glanced out the window, blinking, "It's morning..Well it was nice talking to you Unko. I better go check on the rest of the students, and go get the ha-I mean supplies, for the project." Kitten smiled.
Unko smirked. "You do that, where do I go? I was never given a schedule."
"You are not," Micheal insisted. "Stop beating yourself up about how you act around others." He had let his arms drop, to hold her hands in his. It seemed the right thing to do just then. Had he ever been born with a sister like him, he would've attempted to slap her across the face, a wake-up call if anything. He was surprised to hear the insults coming from Zim as if they were facts she should be proud of. "Whatever it is you got stuck in your head, it's not true. You're beautiful, caring, and definitally not stupid...and you're definitally not a dog."
Zim blinked and looked up at him,staring into his eyes."You really think so..?"She stared at him and spoke as if no one had ever said such words to her
"Yes," Micheal said, meaning the word more than ever.
Zim leaned up and kissed him again,tears rolling down her eyes."I love you Micheal...I don't care how you feel about me...I love you so much..."
Micheal pulled her to him, hugging her tightly. He had never heard someone say love to him like she just did. In her ear, he says, "I love you." It was strangely fitting, but he couldn't find any other words to explain it. This would be the first time he was so open and talkative to someone and she loved him back.
Zim smiled softly and nuzzled him.She loved the feeling of the words being returned,but she couldn't help but wonder...Was it just a lie?Something he had said without any meaning or explaination behind it?Was he just saying that to make her feel better?
Micheal, enjoying the embrace, sighed lightly. "I," he paused, "Think we should see about getting some food. I've been hungry since..." He didn't finish, but his stomach rumbled, as if on cue.
Zim giggled and nodded.She nuzzled him."Come on."
Micheal smiled, leaving his arm around her waist.
"wana get some pizza?"Zim asked,leading him Outside of HSG
"Well, I know you're in my history class first, so why don't you help me get the 'supplies'?" Kitten smiled.
Back to High School of the Gifted
Stumble!
