The High School Escapades!

Trust

Oh god oh fuck it escalated to kissing.

Like just once on the cheek but still!

Ted was freaking out, and Kid saw it, and chuckled a little, and then kissed him again and woAH

This was the best group gatherings he'd ever attended.

At the time, Penny and Carla had returned from their date, and everyone was sitting around the living room, chatting.

He was pretty sure Lily, Billy, Rachel, and Tiffany were all talking about something, and he was pretty sure it was important, but HOLY FUCK.

Woah now Kid was??? Holding hin??? This was amazing???

He better come.

Cindy had no clue what was wrong with her, but she knew that she needed Felix to help it.

About half an hour passed. There was a knock at the door, and she opened it to find Felix, looking worried, though she couldn't tell whether for her or for himself.

She grabbed his wrist, dragging him to her bedroom. "What's going on?" he asked, concerned.

She didn't answer.

She could practically see his heart sink once he realized where they were going.

Now in her room, she clung to him, breathing into his neck.

"So, um, w-what do you want from me?"

She knew what he was thinking. "I promise it's not that this time. I just... need affection."

He lowered his arms from their previous defensive placement. "R-really?"

"Yes." She held on to him even tighter. "I just really need to be touched right now, but I promise it doesn't have to be sexual."

Slowly, shakily, he brought up his arms to wrap them lightly around her. Huh, so it was that easy to get him to trust her. She took note of that for when she didn't desperately need a hug.

"I don't know what's wrong with me," she breathed. "We, you, used to be happy. Things were good, right?" She looked up at him, and he nodded with uncertainty.

She continued. "Maybe it was something to do with the counselor? She wanted to see me once, and then... I can't remember. It doesn't matter. Just..."

She trailed off. He'd been quiet this whole time, she noticed. She hoped he was okay.

This was the first time she'd ever really stopped to think about this. The first time she'd acknowledged that something was wrong with her.

She just didn't know what.

This was also the first time in a while, she realized, that she'd wondered if, wanted, hoped that Felix was okay with everything that was happening. A long time ago, in freshman year when they started dating, it was all about the money. As sophomores, they grew to appreciate and love each other. That love continued on to junior year and the first part of senior year. It was only after the trip to the counselor, and later nurse, where she had been given some weird medicine, that she needed him so much more in the sexual sense. At first, he said yes on his own. Later on, she needed to coerce him. Later still, and she took to blackmail. And just recently, she'd started taking what she wanted from him by force, regardless of his protesting, his struggling, his begging for her to stop.

God, she felt terrible.

Thinking about it made her break down, crying into his shoulder as he, bewildered, feebly tried to comfort her. She had never sat down and thought about what she was doing before. It hurt too much. It was scary, it was painful, it was so worth it.

She fell onto the ground in tears, taking him with her, with a mantra of "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry".

She hugged him tighter, and he hugged her, and it was going to be okay.

And they clung to each other, Cindy in tears and Felix extremely confused, and it was okay, and she reached up and kissed him.

And it lasted for a while, and there were no teeth, and there was no tounge, and when she pulled away there was a moment of silence.

And then she told him what was wrong, and it came out like a waterfall of emotions that couldn't be stopped, but it could be tamed, and that's what he did.

And things were okay.
