The Selection(of Pencil Cases)

Aspen

America's POV

Waking up, I stretched and smiled to myself. A new start, a new day! Putting on my paper crayon wrap, I tiptoed to the hole in the fabric of my room (Well, more like hopped, since I don't have legs).

Climbing out of my pencil case, I scurried to our special hiding spot. The cabinet door was slightly ajar, and I could see a bit of candlelight peeking through the dimly light room.

Slowly pushing the door open, I smiled when I saw Aspen. Aspen was a Pencil, so he was a caste lower than me. Looking at his rugged handsome wood, I wanted to run my wax through his led.

"Hey," I whispered as I tip-toed across the cabinet floor. Smiling, I set the eraser shavings down.

"America," grinned Aspen. He beamed up at me, and a smile lit up his entire face. "Hey."

"I brought you something to eat," I said nodding towards the eraser shavings.

"Are you sure?" he asked, even though I knew he wanted to.

"Of course, it's all yours," I laugh.

Aspen was a Pencil. Pencils would have to work hard during the daytime. Papers were always in need of more and more Pencils, and a lot of Pencil cases had to hire them. The pay was terrible too. A drop of whiteout a week! That was barely enough to feed one person for a week, nevertheless his twin sisters and his mother.

In order to keep his family together, Aspen had to work odd jobs(like shining the Sharpeners, adding more ink to the Pens). Even that wasn't nearly enough to feed his family, so most of the times he was hungry.

After Aspen finished devouring his eraser shavings, he grinned that boyish grin to me.

And suddenly we were in each other's arms, and he was kissing me. Gasping, he trailed kisses down my wax(neck), and I grasped his led(hair) in my hands. Running my hair through his led, I was overwhelmed with pure bliss.

"Sing to me," He whispered as he let out a sigh. And so I did.

Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you...
