Just so you's don't try anything funny, all the characters in this story ARE copy write of me, Comatose Huskey. But I can learn to share, if you's can learn to ask nicely. ________________________________________________________________________ * * *
What is love anyway? Chapter 1
- * * "Steven! Dinner's ready!" Christina yelled to her son. "Okay, mom. I'll be right there!" Steven yelled back to his mother from his room. Then he quickly wrote a short message to his friend, Michelle -otherwise called Fuller because it's her last name- that he had to go eat dinner and would message her on Myspace when he was finished. Before leaving his room Steven looked at the digital clock next to his bed on said "Four thirty is to damn early to be eating dinner" to himself. Then proceeded to walk out his room, and down the hallway to the dinning room. As he walked to the dinning room his sensitive huskey nose was assaulted with the smell of about fifteen different herbs and spices. His mother loved to cook using as many herbs and spices as she can to enhance the flavor of whatever she happened to be cooking that night for dinner. Christina loves to cook many different Italian dishes even though she is predominately Polish. The female huskey loves to cook whatever Italian dish that makes her beloved husband happy. As Steven walked into the dinning room he noticed that everyone -except his mother- was already sitting down starting to enjoy the spaghetti and meatballs his mother had made. "Sorry I'm late, I was talking to Fuller on Myspace." He stated before taking his usual seat next to his brother, Alex. Alex -Steven's youngest brother- was not a huskey like himself, his brother -Tyler- , or his mother. Alex got his looks from his father -Steven's step-father- who is a German Shepherd. But, Alex takes after his mother in the sense of being able to comprehend any subject fairly easily. As Steven sat down, Steve -Steven's step-father- said "It's okay, just try to keep track of time better." "Okay, I will." Steven replied before helping himself to the spaghetti and meatballs in the big bowl in front of him that just so happened to be in the middle of the large round mahogany table. At that moment Christina walked back into the room backward -to be able to open the swinging door- with a loaf of garlic bread in her paws. As soon as the female huskey put the bread down, her canine family immediately started to rip pieces off and put them on there plates. "Boy, you guys must have been really hungry. I never see you's eat that fast." she added before sitting down and making herself a plate while she had the chance. "Well I know I was." Alex said as his tail started to wag back and forth, "You're a great cook mom, your food always tastes so good!" "Well I'm happy to hear that, and thank you, that means a lot to me." She replied before spearing a meatball and eating it. "Kiss-ass" Tyler muttered under his breath. "Tyler! What did I tell you about calling your brother names?" Steve said shortly after Tyler made the comment. "Sorry Alex." Tyler said not really wanting to say it, but knew better then to fight with Steve about name calling. After which, took a big fork full of spaghetti and shoved it in his muzzle. After that, the rest of the meal went pretty much in silence with the occasional compliment of Christina's cooking. Tyler was the first to finish his dinner, as always, put his dish in the sink in the kitchen, and went up to his room in the attic, which he had requested to have when they moved into the house some eight years ago in the year 2000 about six months before Alex was born. When Tyler got up to his room he closed the door, turned the TV on the table in front of his bed, picked up his phone in his room, sat on the corner of his bed, and called his girlfriend, Lauren. Lauren is a rat, which Tyler had been seeing since the second week of school -which started in September- and they had just "celebrated" their one month anniversary two days ago. Tyler's room was fairly simple. His bed is positioned under the attic window - headboard under the window- with a table in front of the bed about eight feet away, with a 38" color TV on it. A maple work-desk off to the left of the bed under the slant of the roof. On the desk sat Tyler's Compaq laptop, left open, but turned off. Next to the laptop are various papers, pens, pencils, a ruler, a glass of water that was left half-full, and the USB cord for his Ipod nano. To the right of the huskey's bed is his dresser, with some of his clothes sticking out of the draws. On the dresser is Tyler's PS2, along with various games and a few controllers. On the walls are many different band posters. So much so, that there was no real need to paint the walls because they were rarely seen. Tyler talked to his girlfriend for the rest of the night about any little thing they could think of, eventually falling asleep with the phone next to his ear around midnight. * * * Back in the dinning room; Steven was next to finish his dinner about ten minutes after Tyler did. He excused himself, put his plate in the kitchen sink, and preceded to his room at the end of the hall. After Steven, Alex finished, followed Steven's example with his plate, and went to his room to play his Xbox 360 for a little bit before taking a shower and going to bed. Finally Christina and Steve finished, and went to wash the dishes together. As they washed the dishes they made idle chat about what they were going to do on Saturday with the kids. "I think we should take the kids to see a movie, since its suppose to rain on Saturday anyway." Christina commented to her shepherd lover. "We could, or we could have a family movie day." Steve suggested, "You and I could go to the movie store, rent a few movies, get some snacks, and spend the day at home?" "I like that idea. We could also invite my sister and her son?" Christina added. "I don't see why not. Its always good to have company." Steve said, a big grin spreading across his muzzle. "Then its settled. I'll call Steph, and you tell Steven that we're heading out for a little bit." Christina said, as an equally big grin now on her muzzle as her tail wagged happily. "Okay, I'll tell him, and get the car started," Steve said giving his huskey lover a soft kiss on the muzzle before adding, "and I'll see you in the car." With that Steve left the kitchen to go inform Steven that they'd be going out for about an hour. * * * Steven had just signed back onto Myspace when he got a friend request from a badger that goes by the name Mikeycorpse. When Steven saw the badger, he tried to remember if he knew him, but finally decided that he had no idea who he was. Then after a few minutes of debating with himself, he figure the badger looked cute enough to accept him as a friend. After accepting the badger as a friend, Steven went to look at his profile to learn a little more about his new "friend." A few minutes of reading told Steven that the badger was in fact gay, and was his age. He also learned that they went to the same high school. That made Steven wonder if he was new because he already knew most of the sophomore class. Then as Steven was about to comment the badger, he got a message from none other then Mikeycorpse. So Steven opened the message, curious to see what his new friend had to say. The message read; Hey cutie, ive seen you around school and thought id introduce myself. Im Mikey, or as my friends call me, Mikeycorpse. No, im not in the sophomore class, im a freshmen, I know shocker. Aaaaanyway, wut r u up 2?? Steven was a little dumbstruck at first by how casual this Mikey had sounded in the message and was wondering how he had never seen him before. A couple seconds latter, Steven remembered how to type and wrote a quick response saying: Hi, you probably already know my name, but I'm Steven. Umm, that's interesting because I don't think I've seen you around school at all. If you don't mind me asking, how are you a freshmen? Aren't you fifteen? Umm, I'm not doing a whole lot, just talking to some of my friends. You? Steven wrote on more of a formal tone, still not sure about this Mikey fellow. About a minute later Steven got another message from Mikey. Hehe. Yeah, I already knew ur name. you know you dont have to write all formal like, im not gonna scold you on grammar. No I don't mind. I got left back in second grade cuz I was in the hospital most of the year cuz I was mad sick. But im better now. Nd yes I am 15. Not much really, just talkin to u. hey, y don't u call me. 555-1212. Ill be waiting... Steven wasn't sure what to do. On one hand he really wanted to talk to the badger, but on the other hand, his parents still didn't know that he's bisexual, and didn't want to risk getting caught talking to a very open gay guy on the phone. But, as he was arguing with himself, Steve walked into his room, and broke him out of his thoughts. "Your mother and I are going out for a little bit. Your in charge. We'll be back in about an hour or so." Steve stated, walking up behind Steven to see what he was doing. At that moment, Steven closed the message and turned around to say: "Okay, Steve. I'll keep an eye on Tyler and Alex. Where are you to going?" the huskey asked the shepherd with honest curiosity in his voice. "Nowhere special, just to the store to get a few things. Thanks, we owe you one." Steve replied. "Okay. Anytime, so don't worry about it." Steven said with a smile. Steve returned the smile, patted Steven on the head between his ears, turned around and left the room to go start the car. "This must be a dream come true. Damn I never get this lucky" Steven said to him self before picking up his phone to call Mikey. When Mikey picked up the phone, they immediately started talking about, well, just about anything they could. They agreed to meet before first period the following morning by rooms 171-173 in the music rotunda. Then, after about two hours on the phone, they said their good nights and went to bed. ________________________________________________________________________ ~Author's Note~ Hey, sorry that there's no yiff, and there won't be for a few chapters, But I'd still appreciate any comments you guys might have, Or any suggestions as to what should happen next, Even though I already have a good as to what's gonna happen.
