𝓑𝓮𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓲𝓯𝓾𝓵 (short furry story)

Friends

Alex

I grabbed the plate of food from his paw. It seemed to be lasagna, although it looked store bought. It was still nice. I wonder if it  drugged it or something? Why would he be so kind to me for no reason. He seemed to be trying to make me more relaxed. He probably notices my nervousness, I can get pretty twitchy around strangers.

"I'll get the TV remote." Hugo said walkIng into the living room.

"o-ok..." I stuttered.

Hugo, the name sticks in my head. It didn't sound American, it sounded more over seas. I wonder what it means?

"It stands for the mind, it's German." Hugo said as if on cue.

"How did you know I was thinking about it?!?!" I shouted somewhat shocked.

"Furs have asked so many times that I can basically read minds when it comes to it." Hugo said while laughing.

"That sounds kinda creepy, don't you think?" I asked.

"Yeah but it's hilarious seeing there reactions. Like yours for example. Haha" he said looking over at me from the couch.

 His chuckle seemed kind hearted and true. Did I really get lucky, that usually never happens. Maybe I won't mind going to this University. I just hope I don't jinx it, I would like to be happy for a bit before I start my journey of life.

I finished my food, washed the dishes, and joined Hugo on the couch to watch some tv.

I lay in my bed, curled up into a ball. That was the only comfortable way I could sleep. Sure it's a little weird, but if you haven't already noticed, I'm just kinda weird. Plus, it makes it easier to breath. When I lay back straight it feels like I'm being sat or on.

 I can't believe I was so awkward today when I met Hugo. As soon as I saw him I rushed back to the bathroom and hid in there for over an hour. I was stuttering a lot every time he asked me a question or just talked to me in general. He probably thinks I'm some sort of loser, but he and I are roommates so he maybe felt as if he had to be nice. I'll just stay away from him, I don't want to get in his way after al....

"Did you paint those?" Hugo asked shaking me from my thoughts.

Hugo's voice startled me a bit, it was a bit awkward sleeping in the same room. Especially for me since he is a tall handsome guy. So you can imagine the gay panicking I'm going through.

"Um, yes. I did." I said nervously.

 Why am I so damn awkward. He is probably going to eather make fun of it or tell me that painting is a girl thing. Oh well, maybe I can take it all down tomorrow to try to fit in.

"They look really good." Hugo said calmly.

   I was kinda taken back by the complement. No one really seems to care about my hobbies. Maybe he is just trying to be nice like earlier?

"Thank you, art is one of my hobbies." I said somewhat proudly.

"I always liked art, I was never really good at it though." Hugo said seemingly jealous.

 I was relieved that he didn't mind my art and also a little happy. The thought of maybe having a friend for once was quite thrilling. But he was probably just being nice.
