jaren

"Damnit! First day of college and I cant even get my supplies ready!" I rushed out of my dorm room, arms packed with art supplies. Three canvases were stuck under my arms, boxes of oil pastels, acrylic paints and colour pencils in my hands as i ran.

Apparently, my dumb luck had me crashing into another person.

"Ah shit! I-Im sorry Im just-" "Late for art Im assuming." The guy i crashed into was pretty cute, but that didnt make me feel any better.

One of my oil pastels started to roll as another student had started to walk by. "W-Wait dont-!" The student just ignored me, stepping and quishing on the pastel. "That was my favourite colour too. Damn"

I sat back on my knees, picking up my mess. The kid i had knocked down in my rush started to help me. "Names John, whats yours cutie?" "Im not cute, and my names Jaren." John chuckled, reaching for a paint brush that i was reaching for.

Our hands touched, but i pulled mine back quickly. "Uhm, would you like me to help? Im going to the same class." Now that shocked me. "You like art too?" He nodded, grabbing the canvases that had been sitting on the floor.

"You were going the wrong way." "Oh."

John laughed, causing a blush from me. "I dont normally paint, I like using charcoal and pencil, but watercolour is something i also do. I see youre more of that bolder acrylic kind." I nodded.

We had started walking, making small talk as we reached the class room.

"You know, you dont seem like youd be the artsy type." "Really? Well you should see my room. Literally covered in paintings as charcoal pictures." He opened the door, waving to a couple of his friends in here. "Glad to see youve finally joined us Johnny boy. Whos your friend?"

"Names Jaren. Poor soul ran into me while going in the wrong direction." "John! You dont need to tell 'em everything!"

They had laughed, John pulling up a chair for me to sit next to him.

"Alright, roll call round the table."

The first one stood, his tall lanky figure standing about as high as the fucking ceiling, although im exaggerating a bit.

"Cam dont do it." One man had said.

"My name is Cam and Ive got the plan, I have a short attention span, what is that over there." He looked in the opposite direction, eyes focused intentely until everyone started laughing.

"He does it every fucking time we meet some one new."

"Yeah well Im Cam, i art obviously, acrylic, im in my final year, i game i guess, thats about it?" He sat down, and everyone went around the table.

Next was Toby, she was also in her final year and she gamed as well, although she was more interested in the sculpting aspect of art.

Then there was Jay, and im assuming it was safe to say everyone at the table gamed, he was in his third year of college, he was more focused on photography, he also sang in his spare time or when he was taking pictures.

And then finally, John. I had already knew about him, as he had told me on the way here. He was apparently in his second year as well, but afterwards he was moving to a new state.

"What about you Jaren?"

"I do acrylic and oil pastel, im in my first year, obviously from not knowing where the fuck to go, I game as well and i do youtube in my spare time. Or well I try to."

"Oh thank god, we arent alone then." Everyone in the group nodded. "Ive found my people. Thank the lord all mighty for bumping into John." Everyone had laughed, including John.

---------i realized mid way it wasnt even exactly what you suggested im sorry---------------

I just have to say, John is the fucking best friend i thought Id never have.

Since the time ive been here, John has been getting to me. The hugs, the winks, even the flirting! Im not that dense when someone likes me, but im just waiting for him to at least ask me out. Im too much of a pussy to do it for him though.

Our professer has a final exam for us before the end of the year.

We have to draw the person we are assigned to, and I was assigned to John, of all the people. Im not upset, god no, just embarrassed as fuck.

We were told we could use any medium we'd like and it can be in any way we'd like. We were also told, that it could be a nude project if we wished, to get used to the female and male anatomy as if we wanted to make it, we had to learn this. The she went on a whole lecture on how nude was the way olden folks had drawn and yadda yadda ya.

I looked towards John, the blush on my face deepening a colour as i saw he looked at me.

"S-so uh, I have to draw you." "I know, uh, jeez." I started to laugh, causing John to join in too. "This is gonna be so fucking embarrassing." "You tell me! I have to sit however you position me and draw me! Oh god!" "Chill! Im not gonna do anything bad to you! Unless you want me to." He smirked and winked, bright blush on his face.

I rolled my eyes, pushing him away. "Sly dog."

-------------------

With shaking hands, I knocked on the apartment he was living in. He didnt live in the college, seeing as that was way too expensive. I wasted my money for nothing once i found out about how cheap this place is.

John opened the door, bright smile on his face as he let me in. "Welcome to my home. Sorry for the messb I was practing to see which one I liked using best. Charcoal for the win brother."

I looked around in awe. I had never seen him draw anything, let alone paint. He always took his projects home and turned them in so fast.

"Something wrong?" "Dude youre so fucking talented." I looked towards a water colour of a sunset, the colors blending so fucking perfectly. "How? Were you taught? Did you like, look anything up?"

John rubbed the back of his neck, red tinting his face. "U-Uhm, self taught. Why dont we get started?" I gaped at him, letting him take me up stairs. "Your art is fucking phenomenal." "Not really. I can always do better."

He took the bag of my shoulders off, setting it down near the door.

"You wouldnt mind just getting in your boxers would it? If it bothers you, you can keep em on!" The red on his face was darkened, and I couldnt help but smile. "I dont mind." I kissed his cheek, backing up so I can remove my clothes.

"Now, how do you want to draw me?" John looked at me, eyes dialated as they trailed down my body.

"Heyyy youre making me feel insecure!" I sat on the bed behind me, curling myself up. "I-Im sorry! Youre just so-" "Ugly? Yeah I get that a lot."

"The fuck? No! You look amazing, Jaren." He took my hands that were covering my face, holding them in his.

We stared at each other, eyes wide as we grew closer to each other. My eyes looked down to his lips, going back up. He smiled. "Cutie."

John held his hand against my face, bringing our lips together. I smiled against him, bringing us closer. Johm wrapped his arms around me, mine finding their way around his neck.

Finally.
