The year was 2007. A gorgeous gothic guy was walking down Main Hall.
Black hair, black trench coat, black sunglasses, black shirt, black pants,
and the second coolest black boots ever.
He sat up on the edge of the bulletin board and pulled out his
laptop. He opened his AIM account, and found a specific buddy on it. He
merely typed seven words into a chat with this person, "Good morning, you
hot goth techie chick."
Across the hallway, a gorgeous girl looked up from her own laptop and
grinned. She was the female equivalent of the gothic person sitting on the
bulletin board across the hallway from her. Except her boots were THE
coolest ever.
She continued to smile and said to him, "Get you lunar ass over
here!" The person in the trench coat didn't say anything, just put away
his laptop, and moved across the hallway. As he sat down, he moved up
closer to the girl like a cat seeking warmth. She reciprocated the gesture
by cuddling up against him.
The moment of silence was broken by the girl saying, "You need to
stop taking sick days, Jason. I missed you."
Jason looked up for a moment with a light in his eyes, as if to
express an apology. Then he swooped up into her face and kissed her. They
wrapped their arms around each other and remained in a motionless kiss for
a long time.
Finally, Jason pulled away, saying, "I'm sorry, Hikaru, we can't
spend our ENTIRE lives like that." She kissed him again. "Well, maybe the
majority of our lives."
Hikaru became serious for a moment and pulled up Jason's sleeves to
inspect his arms. In response, Jason said, "All those scars are old. I
haven't tried to slit my wrists since that last time when you caught me."
Hikaru continued to inspect Jason's wrists, making sure there were no
new scars. After a while, it became obvious that she had finished her task
and was merely playing with her boyfriend. Jason remained silent, however,
simply enjoying the feeling of Hikaru's fingers moving along his arm.
However, he felt he needed to say something when Hikaru's arm began
its ascent up his sleeve. "Uh, dear, if you want to wear the trench coat,
just say so."
Hikaru remained silent using her newfound leverage, with her arm as
much in his sleeve as his arm was, to bring him even closer. Finally,
Jason understood the objective.
With this knowledge, he kissed Hikaru again. And again. And again.
He began to migrate beyond her lips, kissing her cheeks, her chin, her
brow, her forehead, and her neck.
Suddenly, Dr. Krissen's door opened. Jason and Hikaru barely reacted
at all. As Dr. Krissen emerged from her room and saw the two teenagers
practically sprawled over each other, she muttered, "I liked it a lot
better when you two would become nervous and self-conscious when I came out
of my room."
Hikaru tried to apologize, an activity made extremely difficult by
kissing. Dr. Krissen waited a full minute for Hikaru to try and get the
words out, but finally said, "Nevermind..." and walked away.
During their break for air, Jason tried to casually ask, "Okay,
you've been checking my arms every morning for new scars. What about you?"
Hikaru said nonchalantly, "I'm done with suicide. Ever since you
caught me, hon." Jason looked at her with the closest thing to a glare he
ever gave her. Hikaru rolled up her sleeves to prove her point.
Jason pounced on the opportunity to copy Hikaru from minutes before
when she was inspecting his arms.
Hikaru muttered in a very contented way, "You cheater..."
