Chereads / Death by Fuzzy Socks / Chapter 8 - Melting Snow

Chapter 8 - Melting Snow

Noah ran up to his room and smiled at his phone looking at the opened conversation with Jason. the top was blank and so far his message read, "Hi, this is Noah..." not sure what else to type he deleted it before biting his lip and turning over to look at the his ceiling fan slowly spinning above him. After a long pause feeling sleepy he simply put in "Hi" hit send and drifted to sleep.

Jason's phone buzzed almost two hours after leaving Noah's house. He had been staying up waiting for Noah's response despite having classes again the next day. Smiling at the two character text Jason responded, "Hi there, this is Noah?" After that text was sent and the clock quickly ticked past Jason checked that the volume on his phone was all the way up before rolling over and trying to get an hour or two of sleep before he had to be up in the morning. Before he even registered anything his alarm went off and he swiped up his phone to see if he had gotten any new messages. Seeing that the phone was without one he huffed as he leveraged himself out of bed in order to get ready for the day.

Noah didn't wake up for another several hours, who would without a pressing need to. Looking at the white ceiling above him he slowly turned over knocking his phone onto the floor and stretching out. 'It's a Friday and obviously my dreams or whatever is trying to tell me something about asking Jason out so maybe I should try texting him again,' Noah thought as he fumbled around, nearly falling out of bed himself when he reached for his phone without wiggling out from his pile of blankets.

Pulling his phone up onto the bed he unlocked it and blinked his blurry eyes at the message that had been sent quite early this morning. With a start he sat up and opened his phone to respond. "Yes, hi Jason. Sorry I feel asleep on you last night..." after a few moments of thought he added a smiley face and hit send. Before wiggling out of bed for something warm and comfy to trek down to the kitchen in.

Pulling on an oversized hoodie and gabbing a fresh pair of pants Noah quickly realized he had a problem. 'L! Why do I have a tail?!?'

'Hey, Noah...' L said almost hesitantly. 'Well you see, um, the young miss was a little offended that you thought she was a figment of your imagination so she figured we would do something a little different this time around.'

"What do you mean different? I have a tail! This is the system punishment? How am I supposed to hide that?" Noah shouted, so frustrated that he forgot the system talked to him in his head.

'Okay calm down and put your pants on. They will disappear as soon as you calm down a bit. As for what I mean by different is that most first level systems don't give permanent stat changes. The first punishment is usually really erotic wet dreams that you keep having until the tasks are completed.' L glanced at Noah's stupefied face and decided to continue his explanation before the boy blew up on him again. 'I can open it on your inventory so that you can read about the changes more fully in a bit but mainly as long as you are not experiencing any extreme emotions the changes will not be visible. It is permanent but in a few levels you will also be able to buy a token to get rid of the trait.' L sighed

'Accessing the system while awake is simple but you have to think of the inventory slot or name number in order to access it and you never went in to set up any of that so that was why you were unable to put anything in it last night.'

Noah calming down a bit and keeping his gaze down on his tail was finally able to take a deep breath when a misty light blue smoke swirled around his waist and with a tingle the tail disappeared. With L talking him though things he opened up his stats page and got to work on naming inventory slots so that he could access it. L even had him add opening his inventory as a skill as it was "idiot proof" While doing that Noah also noticed that he did have a new skill that was not there before, looking at it rather distastefully he frowned, 'Why can I activate the furry mode as a skill but not turn it off that way?'

'If you turn it on because of the skill you can also turn it off by will but if you activate it due to fluctuations in your mood then you have to turn it off by calming down. One last thing about protocol 624 is that it is three parts so at least you will be able to know what your next two punishments would be. I would advise against allowing 624 to fully activate as it can be a bit of a hassle. I think that's it. You can read more details on your stats page if you really care. I also figure that you might want a hat as the ears are slightly more noticeable than the tail.'

Noah's tail and ears popped back out upon hearing that and he rushed to the mirror in his bathroom looking at the orange ears perched upon his wavy brunette locks and frowned at the image it made. The tail was only orange at the tip and the rest looked mostly brown like his hair but the ears stood out a bit more. Noah spent a while pacing back and forth before grabbing a beanie and taking a closer look at what this 624 thing entailed.

Noah frowned at the description. The title of the stages didn't seem very helpful. The next stage was something about being smelly and seemed like something he wanted to avoid. He knew an omega was a type of wolf that a pack would bully and a bully attracting sent seemed like something he would like to avoid. In the mean time, he needed to confess to Jason to avoid anything else happening.
