First chapter of me and aaron's new story!


"Do you see it yet?" asked an otter, bouncing where he stands excitedly. He was waiting for his turn to use the binoculars.

"No...nothi-wait....I DO! I see the island!" exclaimed the flamedramon with the instrument, handing it to the otter.

Squealing, the otter looked through the binoculars and let out a happy yell.

"We're almost there! Finally!"

The otter was Nathan Osworth, a 17-year old. The flamedramon was his 18-year old friend Logan Michel. Both of them were finally on their way to the school of their dreams: Goldenia Academy.

Goldenia Academy was a special school: it was made for students, BY students...literally; students ran shops, restaurants, even taught classes! There were different categories for classes, each class being taught by its individual master, sensei, teacher, or whoever.

And the thing is there were classes that other schools neglect to have.

Nate bounced up and down in place, a paw being placed on his shoulder to stop him.

"Easy there, Ottie." Logan joked. Nate glared at him: Ottie was a name STRICTLY given to him by someone else...and only HE could call him by that.

Logan saw this possibly fatal mistake "S-sorry."

"It's....fine...." Nathan said slowly, going back to watching the boat get closer to the dock. An announcement rang out over the boat's PA system.

"ATTENTION: WE WILL BE ARRIVING AT GOLDENIA HARBOR SHORTLY. ALL GOING ASHORE, PLEASE PRE YOURSELF PROPMTLY."

"I'm gonna go pack up." Nate said, soon running off to the direction of their cabin....but, with JUST enough time to turn around and say "meet me at the cabin before we leave, okay?"

Logan waved him off, smiling "Got'cha. Catch ya later!"

..........................

With the little time left, Logan begins walking around the front deck and watching everyone saying their goodbyes and whatnot. He remembered saying goodbye to his "parents" and boarding the ship with Nathan: the otter was his best friend, the closest person to him.

'Wonder how we'll get along during school....' He thought, looking to the ground and placing his hands in his pockets....of course, with his head down he couldn't see where he was going.

When he looked up, however, he ran face-to-chest first with someone else.

"Oof!" Logan let out, falling onto his back "Arg!.......Damn.....that hurt...." He murmured, rubbing his forehead.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" spoke the other person; apparently he didn't fall over or anything. He offered Logan a hand up...with the Digimon took gratefully.

"It's...no problem....I wasn't watching were I was go-" Logan started, looking up to see who it was: in front of him was a tall Exveemon with deep brown eyes. He wore a light blue tee, a little darker than his scale color, a long-sleeved grey jacket, black denim jeans, and an "X" necklace.

Logan couldn't help but notice the bulging muscles of the other male, noticeable even with the clothes on....though they were flashy: mostly normal for Exveemons....Logan being the same with other Flamedramons being slim but well-toned.

"Uh.....h-hi...."Logan muttered nervously, looking away from his face to keep from letting him see him blush.

"H-hi....uh.....are you okay?" asked the Exveemon, genuinely sounding concerned; in his mind, he couldn't help but admire the "sexy flamey".

"Y-yeah.....I'm good.....you?" Logan asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay." He replied. Silence filled the gap shortly, making Logan's heart race....then jump when the Exveemon spoke again "I'm Dave, Dave Anderson." A paw being forced onto him....compared to his own hand, it was huge.

"L-Logan Michel." He replied, taking Dave's hand and shaking it.

"Nice to meet'cha. So, you going to Gold-Acad?" Dave started, making Logan sigh in relief so he didn't have to offer an idea.

"Yeah, I'm here with my friend. We're both staying here for a while."

....................

After a few minutes Logan and Dave parted ways, waving each other on. Dave rounded the corner, walking casually....while Logan took off towards his cabin. He made the usual 10 minute walk in 5 minutes.

Nathan, during the time, was packing his stuff up and getting ready to walk down the gang plank. Hearing Logan burst through the door, panting hard, was not something he wanted to hear; he was scared so badly he jumped and nearly got himself into position to fight whoever came through.

"Nathan! You'll not believe.....who I just.....met!" Logan muttered in between breaths. Nate relaxed and pulled the Flamedramon over to his bed. Rushing to get some water, he let Logan explain.

"I....was just walking.......down the boardwalk....when I ran into......this Exveemon," he started, drinking some water and setting the empty glass down on the nightstand; he looked straight at Nathan "AND HE WAS HOT!"

Nate chuckled and sat next to Logan, "You get his name?"

"Dave....he's going to Goldenia Academy too! I might see him!" Logan exclaimed, now HE was excited.

"Okay, okay...let's calm down....first we have to find someplace to stay....." Nate said, pulling out his cell and begin texting someone "I sent my old friend J a text: he said earlier we could stay at his house for the night until we find ourselves a dorm or apartment. He also said he had a friend staying with him too, so he didn't mind he we stayed just for the first night; first week at the most."

"Really? Wow, I forgot how cool J was...or how cool you keep TELLING me he is...." Logan said, still unsure about the mysterious "J".

...............................

(On shore)

...............................

On the shore, many people were waiting for the slow-moving ship to roll into the dock. Standing on the beach, shirtless, was a normal orca. He was rather tall, standing at about 6 foot evenly. His tail was rather long, the end being that of a normal orca, laying on the warm sand and swishing side-to-side almost un-prominently slowly.

His name was Johnny, last name Thompson. He was waiting for his friend to come: he went to the mainland to check what was up with the power grid here in Goldenia. He, originally, goes to Gold-Acad....just like Johnny does. He was also waiting for someone else that was supposed to be here.

Flipping out his cell, he checked his messages: two new ones. The first one was from his friend here.

'Everything's fine, just an overload. Should be okay now. Coming back on the next ship.' It was from yesterday, and forgot to check then. The other one was from today, just a few minutes ago.

'Boat nearly at shore, hope to see you soon. Been 3 years....hoped you haven't changed too much, Orcy. XP'

The orca chuckled, smiling to himself.

"Heh.....that's my Ottie...."

.............................

The orca waited on the beach for just a few more minutes, smiling as he saw the boat pull up into the dock. People filed out quickly, one in particular coming out and heading straight for him.

"Johnny-bro!" he came running, hugging the Orca tightly....only to "Meep!" out when the Orca hugged him back tighter.

"Missed ya, D!" he said, picking him up a bit then putting him back down. Dave rubbed his arms, smiling.

"I still don't get how you can be stronger than me when I'm bigger AND older than you by a full year." He said amazed, making the orca smile a goofy grin.

"Guess it's just me...." He said, looking to the boat: he looked at the top to try and see if he spotted anyone.

"Still looking for him?" Dave asked, getting a nod shortly after he asked.

"Yeah, he said he'd be on this boat......wonder where he is." He replied, getting a little nervous.

.....................

Nathan leaned on the railing, his and Logan's bags next to the two; he skimmed over the crowd of people quickly, growling a little in anger.

"Dammit, too many people.....I can't see him...." Nathan cursed, hitting his paw on the rail and trying again to pick out the person.....only to see him stand in the very back, arms crossed...and looking up at the ship.

The otter grinned and began waving to the fur, jumping up and down now.

"Hey! J! Over here!" he called.

.............................

The orca skimmed over the railing one last time, hoping to stop his friend...then seeing him jumping up and down like an idiot. He can't help but chuckle a bit, waving back and motioning him to come.

............................

Nate tugs on Logan's shirt, smiling.

"Come on, let's go! I see him!" he pulled the flamey along quickly with him, their bags being dragged behind.

Quickly the two raced down the gang plank while no one was on it, running towards the other two....but Logan, seeing who was with the waiting orca, stopped dead.

"Nate....that's him. That's the guy I saw on the boat!" he whispered to him, a little nervous to see him again so soon.

Dave wasn't so excited to see the flamedramon again.

"Johnny.....that guy.....I saw him on the boat....." he whispered to the orca "he's SO cute.....b-but....why is he with YOUR friend?"

"Because they're friends....duh." the orca said to him, lightly knocking on his head playfully.

.......................

"Johnny!" Nathan yelled, dropping his bag and running towards the orca; J began running towards the otter too, hugging him once he was close enough.

The otter basically jumped into the orca's arms, wrapping his arms tightly around his neck lovingly.

"I missed you so much....." whispered the otter, his face pushing into the orca's neck; Johnny gasped slightly and murmuring out softly from the "assault" on his weak spot.

"I missed you too, Ottie....I'm glad you're here." Johnny said, smiling and keeping him close in the grasp.

Nathan, in response, smiled....then sealed his lips against the orca's in a passionate kiss.

Johnny was totally caught off-guard in the kiss, but moaned out a bit and pulled the otter closer.......all of this, in public too....for Dave and Logan and anyone nearby to see.

Seeing this, they broke the kiss and giggled.

"Sorry.....I just wanted to taste those lips again.....I mean how long has it been since we last saw each other: 3 years?" Nathan explained, his cheeks going bright red.

Johnny smiled and kissed the otter's nose, giggling.

"Not anymore....now we're together again....just like before."

Nate nodded, soon looking to Logan.

"Johnny, this is my friend Logan; Logan, this is my boyfriend J....we've been on "hold" when he left...." He said, scratching the back of his head.

Logan raised his paw in a greeting, a little weirded out by the sudden affection between the two. Dave felt the same way.

"Nice to meet you; I want you to meet my friend: Dave." He motioned to the Exveemon, he doing the same thing as Logan...though adding in "hey."

"Thanks again for letting us stay with you guys for the night until we can find our own place." Nate thanked Johnny, breaking the hug....but the orca smiled and shook his head.

"No, I said you could stay....I never said how long: I specifically said 'you guys can stay with us for as long as you'd like'.....right?"

"W-well, yeah....but I don't want to be a hassle on you two."

"Please, I insist. Come on, babe....will you stay?" the orca asked, giving him a cute chibi face.....the otter groaned playfully.

"D'awww...I can't resist the Chibi Face. Alright," the otter hugged him again "we'll stay as long as you want me to stay."

....................................

Logan, quietly, walked over to Dave.

"Hey...."

Dave seemed a little nervous "hey."

"Uh.....so.....you're Johnny's friend?" Logan asked.

"Yeah.......you Nathan's friend?" Dave asked himself.

"Yep........he wanted to come here for so long....mostly just to see Johnny." Logan said, soon beginning to walk with the now moving couple: they wanted to get to the house and start talking about what happened while they were gone.

"I could tell, all Johnny could talk about was his "Ottie"....says it was his name for him."

"Yeah, it is," Logan chuckled "I get snapped at if I call him that on accident. Those two sure are cling-y."

"Oh yeah...." Dave said, chuckling as well.

Both looked at each other, then smiled and started laughing.

"Yeah, but I love that guy." Dave said putting a paw on Logan's shoulder like a buddy would; Logan was laughing too much to notice really quickly.

"Same here: I wouldn't want anyone else but Nate as a best friend."

Only until after did he say something did he realize Dave had his hand on him.....it sent chills down his spine, a nervous sweat starting up.

'Oh, God-just....just stay calm, okay?....Stay...calm....' he thought to himself.

Dave, himself, was trying to focus as well.

'Dammit, he's so cute! Why can't I just say that?! Why am I so nervous?!'

'He probably doesn't feel the same way, though....' Both Logan and Dave thought, sighing at the same time too.....but neither of them knew, so neither knows of their crush.

.......................................

So, for a while, they kept going through the neighborhood; Dave was the first to notice, though, that it was too quiet.....yet, at the same time, peaceful in a sense.

"Johnny, why is it so damn quiet around this neighborhood?" He asked aloud, noticing some girls looking at him.

The orca smiles and looks at the two Digimon for a moment then sighs "This neighborhood is peaceful 'cause of school: it's starting." he starts chuckling then pull Nate closer to him "Believe it or not, these houses will be filled with students after a week from now. Just you wait!" He looks at his house smiling wide.

The house wasn't much, mostly normal two floors house with lots of blue colors around since J loves that color for his own reasons.

The otter, as they approached the house, noticed a Lucario doing some gardening next door; curious about him, he tugs on Johnny shirt and whispers to him "Who is that?" Before the orca has a chance to answer, the Lucario already stands and, somehow, materializes in front of him. Nathan, in surprise, yelps a bit.

The Pokèmon laughs softly, offering a paw to Nate: besides the black shorts, he seemed like any other Lucario he met.

"Hey, I'm Lu. I'm the neighbor of this damn orca...." He smiles wide...only to get a hit on the head from the orca's tail.

"Says the one who has girls drooling over him every morning!" He replies back making the Lucario glares.

Dave was about to step in before both Johnny and Lu burst out laughing and giving each other high five and a slap on the ass. Nate confused from the very beginning, gave up on trying to figure out their banter.

"You are such a damn hard target if it wasn't for me being straight.....and you with this otter I might have tried to get you past three years." He teased making J blush crazily. Even Nate can't help but chuckle a little at the sight.

"Well, since I'm here, no flirting with my boyfriend!" The otter says in playful defense, making the Pokémon laugh. They shook paws, smiling "Whenever you need my help, just call me." He smiles and Nate chuckles as he nods.

"Yeah, my name is-"

"Nathan Osworth, boyfriend of Mr. Big muscles here.....right?" The Lucario cuts in, chuckling "I know this crazy orca for three years now so I know you two are an item."

Nate nods and chuckles "Nice to meet you, Lu." He smiles, trying being polite....yet Nate was still confused on how a straight guy is friends with his boyfriend. Mostly anyone who is straight finds J to be a little...."forward", so why not Lu?

Dave and Logan only watch in the sidelines then glare at orca on why he forgot to introduce them.

Johnny blushes and nods "Lu these are our two friends Logan Michel and Dave Anderson. Logan is Nate's friend....Dave you probably saw before: he's my roommate."

Lu smiles and takes both paws shaking them "Nice to meet you both. If big ass over here is being annoying, you just give me a call." He said chuckling, the orca rolls his eyes playfully.

"Zip it Lu!" the orca smiles and hit his shoulder playfully.

"At any rate it is a pleasure to meet Johnny friends for once. I'll see you all later!" He chuckles and gets back to the house as the group of friends move to the door. Johnny began thinking about how he could explain everything. He decided to give up for the moment: he was too happy to get both his best bud and lover back.
