Skye
I groggily opened my eyes to find I was in bed, why do I keep doing this to myself? I looked up slightly to find I was still wrapped around Dylan, just laying on my bed instead of sitting on the floor.
"You know how fucking difficult it was to lay down with you and your damn cobra grip?" He said keeping his eyes closed, only opening them after I jumped slightly from being tired and his random speaking. Dylan chuckled and kissed me, resting his head again like three seconds later.
"Back to sleep." I mumbled as I lay my head back to where it was before.
I woke up to my forehead being kissed and opened my eyes to find Dylan trying to wake me up.
"Come on Quetzal, I love you but wake up, it's time for school." Pf he sounds like a parent.
"If you love me you'd let me sleep." I retorted tiredly, rolling onto my stomach, snuggling into my pillow and accidently lightly kicked Roxie at the foot of my bed. I heard him chuckle then felt him lean down.
"Well there is something we could do in bed all day besides sleep." He whispered huskily in my ear, making my breath hitch and heart feel weird.
"Uh..... Nah schools fine, haven't pissed everyone there off for awhile. They've probably missed my sass." I replied awkwardly, flustered one would say.
"Still cute when you're flustered Quetzal." He called after me as I left my room, teleport-changing my clothes and shifting my hair on my way downstairs. I felt my cheeks get warm as I found something to eat despite not at all being hungry. Was mainly to avoid speaking. "Really Quetzal, I know you aren't actually hungry. Glad you'll eat anyways though, but still." Dylan said as he walked into my kitchen. I snorted and unwrapped a granola bar, taking a bite that made me almost gag while chewing it. He poured me a glass of milk and made me take it from him as he said, "At the very least drink all of that." Somehow knowing I gagged even though I never showed it. I gave him a slightly grateful look after gagging from swallowing the bite I took then chugged the milk, putting my glass in the sink and teleporting us to just outside the school in some trees. Unfortunately it was literally IN the trees and we had to climb down.
"Well, there's my DPA for today." I muttered as we headed to class. I felt anxious and awkward at being here again since I disappeared for a few months to be at Kelseys school. I sat in my usual seat, kicking someone out of it and sat down with my feet up.
"Skye, I see you're back. Though I wasn't informed of this... What are you doing here I thought you changed schools?" The teacher went on.
I faked a smirk and answered, "Yeah, my parents made me switch to homeschooling for a bit there, but I like it here so much better so I'm back." The teacher sighed and refrained from saying anymore and continued on, involving me in the work that I completed before he finished explaining it to the class. "Miss me?" I asked as I gave the sheet back.
"So much." The teacher sarcastically answered, starting to mark my work once he was done talking to the class. I sat back in my seat and tried not to pull out my binder to draw, scared of what I'll end up drawing. I felt watched so I glanced beside me at Dylan to find him giving me a slightly worried look.
"What?" I quietly whispered.
"You not drawing." He answered quietly. I stared at my desk and rubbed my wrist.
"I'm scared of what I'll draw.... I don't want more of those drawings..." I barely audibly answered, wishing I could cut instead even though I know it's not actually going to solve anything. Dylan reached over, gently grabbed my hand and ran his thumb across the back of it. I didn't want to look weak or vulnerable in front of everyone so I gave his hand a quick, gentle squeeze and pulled mine back. He didn't look too happy about it, but accepted it and didn't try it again. Just to prove my point I guess, I pulled out my binder and started drawing anyways. By the end of class I finished and had drawn someone stabbing themselves in the chest, all pure black to symbolize the negative things making them do that. I knew Dylan was staring at it with me and I muttered hatefully, "See. No point in drawing anymore." The hate obviously directed at myself.
"Bullshit." Dylan retorted, sounding mad. Why the fuck is he mad at me?
"The fuck am I supposed to do to not draw this shit? You know I just draw without paying attention." I whisper demanded.
He sighed and thought for a second then quietly answered, "Just... Think of me as you draw. See what happens." I blinked but agreed then packed everything up to head to our next class. Eventually school was almost over and I was dreading what Dylan was making me do once school was over for Kelsey. While we waited we just hung out in our usual spot outside.
'Want to come over to my house in a few minutes?' I mind linked my sister as soon as her bell rang, I remember its schedule so it was easy.
"You ask her ye—" Dylan started to ask but I cut him off, "SHHH shush."
'Uhh.. yeah sure, see you in a few.' she replied almost immediately.
"Ugh... kay let's go... " I muttered to Dylan, using my wrist device to make a portal for us to my house after going to a hiding spot. We just sat on my couch in silence waiting for her to get here. Within minutes there was a knock on my door so I stood up, dragged my feet and opened the door. "Hey." I greeted, having no effort for excitement of any kind in my voice.
"Hey." she replied as she walked in. "Hey Dylan." She called out after, since why would I be here alone right? I really don't want to do this... I mean yes I do want to tell her but.... Not right now.
"Skye has something she wants to tell you, isn't that right Quetzal?" Dylan bugged me. I sighed a bunch and rolled my eyes some, but eventually told her the truth about the art in this house and repeated myself way more times than fucking necessary. Also quoting Pulp Fiction in the process. Kelsey couldn't believe her ears apparently and complimented me on how amazing it all was, but then she asked that question I didn't want to answer... "Don't want to brag I guess..." I muttered my response, looking away from both of them. Sadly she ended up guessing the real reason, but I suppose it's nice she cares enough to know me that well already. Suddenly Kelsey told me she wants to hug me and I had to refrain from backing up and shaking my head, settling for just replying, "I'd rather you didn't... No offence..." She shrugged and understood I don't like hugs, unless it's Dylan, to which I glared at and retorted, "Pf. He's lucky if he ever gets one." Kelsey didn't really seem to believe me then asked me to draw her wolf after slightly chuckling at me. I teased her a bit then agreed to and drew it no problem, blowing her mind. She brought up the fact that I could shift and be a different person and make money off of my work but I told her boss would kill me if I did that even though he doesn't know about my art abilities somehow.
"Wait you can draw really well too?" My sister asked Dylan after he brought up our boss knowing about his art skill. He awkwardly explained that he used to draw me all the time and went back to doing so during our time apart.
"Ha... You think your drawing pile is bad? I had to tell my mom I was fuckin watching porn so she wouldn't come in my room to see all the fuckin papers with you on them on literally everything." Dylan answered my surprise. I tried not to laugh, I really did, but that was fucking hilarious. So I burst out laughing uncontrollably. He went on to say, "You know how fucking awkward and embarrassing it is telling your mother you're masturbating? Especially when you aren't?" Making Kelsey and I laugh even harder. After he explained how his mom at least knows he was lying we eventually finished laughing and I asked Kelsey if she wanted to have a sleepover. We all agreed to sleep at her house with Lily and Drake, probably Kat and Jason too but I don't know yet. I teleported us to her room and teleported Lily and Drake there as well.
"How do you know no ones ever like going to the bathroom or half naked or something when you do that?" Kelsey asked. Never entirely thought of that..
"I don't know, just lucky so far I guess." I answered, shrugging and causing them all to fake gawk at me then laugh.
"You sayin you want to be half naked?" Drake joked, reaching for Kelsey who slapped his hand then immediately yelled with Drake, "OW!" both of them rubbing their right hands.
"What the hell was that?" I slightly demanded, confused as to why they did that.
"The whole mate bond thing remember. You feel each others pain, quite god damn literally." My sister answered, muttering at the end. Realization painfully punched me in the face but I quickly hid it and chuckled along with everyone else. I glanced at Dylan who kept an amused face to match the conversation but knew he knows what I realized, I know he knows. We all chilled in Kelsey's hang out room after getting a tour, me teleporting Jason and Kat to join us. Roxie happily circulated all of us to get as many pets as possible. Then we went to bed some hours later, the thought of Dylan feeling what I was doing still heavily on my mind.
