Valentines day, why the fuck does it still exist?
Sure, I may be more "eat the rich" than Dess was, but it never made sense even on a love reason. Aren't you supposed to love someone everyday? Whatever, I couldn't really care less. I've only had two crushes in my whole life, one which is deader than my bio-parents (who I have no clue who they are) and the other is Berdly.
I kinda only was friends with him for so long due to his passion for Smashing Fighters (which I still totally beat his feather ass at lol), but he really isn't a bad person once you get to know him. He's annoying, and he can go wayyyy too far at times, but both have been decreasing. Dude finally went to therapy and got on meds, and honestly? Good for him! He has... egg coded behavior, but I rather not touch that with a 10 foot pole. Maybe Sus- wait no, Noel could help him with that.
Oh right, Susie. Her and I managed to repair our relationship after the incident, which was nice. She was very confused for awhile when Noel told her he was transmasc, but thanks to yours truly, their relationship is better.
And me? Still depressed, and have no clue what I want in life. I changed majors to bio after I couldn't find a single graphic design internship. Bio is cool, but the math really isn't needed. Do I hate myself? Yes! But it at least is a little less than what it was as a teenager.
Today was pretty simple, due to the whole weekend thing. I grabbed some basic clothing, before heading down to the dining hall for our group's meetup. The food is worse than QC's, but at least there is more variety. You can only take so much diner food before you want to go drown in the lake near my father's shop (don't ask me how hes doing, probably fucking some other guy idk)
First person I saw was obviously Berdly. Even if he isn't as big of a nerd, he still likes to be on time. I probably should be on his schedule, considering my classes have fucked attendance policies.
- "Salutations Kris! Class still treating you well?"
- "Yeah, your eyes seem less baggy"
That wasn't a lie. His computer science major was causing major stress, and I'm suprised he didn't drop out yet.
- "I finally changed my major. Social Work, less programming crappy computers using languages from the 1980's and more helping others. Will it work? I have absolutely no idea!!"
I chuckled at that last part. Social work seems like a nice path to go down. He has some insane emotional reading skills, even if he didn't show it back in high school. Susie and Noel came by, me fist bumping the saurian (how does that work???) and Noel shaking Berdly's wing-hand-thingy. Somedays I do wish Toriel wasn't a pussy and let me go to those monster anatomy classes.
We grabbed our food, and went to sit and talk. The conversation was.. as normal as 4 suicide risk college students could preform. Eventually the conversation went to Valentines day.
- "Me and Noel were probably going to fuck around for Valentines"
Berdly gagged
- "Probably another 'fucking around' knowing you"
Susie was about to punch him, but slowly realized that Yes! She is a freak!
- "Yeah yeah, don't think I remember your plans to court kri-"
WHAT?!!??!!?
I think all three of us looked at him in pure horror, including Berdly who looked like his entire family turned into chicken nuggies. I mean, he is cute and it would work but Noel absolutely was NOT supposed to say that. That is LITERALLY the first rule in Wingmanning!
- "Damn, tell us all about his fetishes while you're at it"
That got me to laugh while drinking, and now my nose owie.
- "I would much rather show those scores than have this revealed, NOEL WHY???"
- "It was an accident! I'm sorry Berd-CRACK-ly"
Ahhh, so he got on T like me, good for him. Unfortunately, he will have to learn the concept of "maintaining composure when your voice sounds like a broken f150", very hard. The rest of the time was spent eating with slience, which was uncomfortable for me and Berdly. I wouldn't blame him, but I am going to ask if that was serious.
Noel and Susie parted ways once we cleaned up our trash, while me and Berdly talked outside the dining hall.
- "Hey Berd, was Noel right? Were you going to ask me out?"
Berdly's feathers puffed up... cute
- "I-I was, if you would accept me."
"here goes nothing", I thought
- "Sick, I think you're cute as well"
I said before kissing him on the cheek, before realizing THAT WAS A TERRIBLE FUCKING MISTAKE!!!!. At least he seemed fine with it, as he held my han- OH FUCK HIS FEATHERS ARE SOFT
- "How the hell are your feathers THIS soft?"
- "Preening and mist, it's shockingly easy.
- "Ahhhh, say, after class tomorrow you wanna fuck around at the arcade?"
- "Sounds nice, I shall meet you at 15:00 Military time, Goodbye for now, my Player 1"
Oh, so I guess I'm player 1 now. Not complaining, just suprised he would admit it.
And well? I guess I have a partner, teehee!
