After injuring a student, Paintbrush is on the verge of expulsion. With a scholarship on the line, Principal Mephone will let Paintbrush stay at school with partial consequences under one condition--school counseling with Counselor Mepad for the rest of their senior year. With no other options, Paintbrush grudgingly accepts. Expecting hell from the moment they walked into the door, everything changes when Paintbrush meets his student assistant Lightbulb, a ditzy and carefree girl who happens to be in the same grade. A story of growing up and humanity, this is a story of the sweet and spicy moments that occur in our lives.

[HUMANIZED!] "...Alright, does someone want to tell me what the fuck is going on," Paintbrush yelled sternly, rubbing their temples to stave off an incoming headache. "THERE'S A DEMON! THERE'S A DEMON IN THE DORM PAINTBRUSH!" Fan screamed, pointing his lightsaber (where did he even get that?) at the floor, swinging it around and nearing throwing it several times, his grip on the handle unsteady. Paintbrush turned their attention to the end of Fan's lightsaber, and on the floor was a small Cellar Spider, not completely motionless but certainly not hostile. I should've expected this, Paintbrush thought hopelessly, rolling their eyes. I am rooming with five-year-olds. . . OR: Paintbrush doesn't know if they'll pass their first year of college; their new dormmates certainly aren't helping. (A Lightbrush college AU.)
