The angry slurs lost no momentum, Nigel shuddered us he watches a streak off black round the corner at full speed. They almost collided. The sooty blur revealed itself to be a cat, the object of all the hatred spewing out. Thick charcoal fur with white tufts that curved up from his ears giving him a rakish wicked look. Nigel could see where the demon calls came from.
'You okay there?'
The cat stared back until Nigel sighed and loosened his collar, a simple poof had him in his furor skin, still taller than the black cat but better able to communicate. 'Okay?'
Bright eyes watched him, the cat sat down curving his front paws a fine image of defiance with a sweet vulnerable tilt to his chin. 'I'm Nigel' Nigel tried, knowing better than to get to close. 'Soots' his voice was quiet, not trusting 'they call me..' Nigel quickly interrupted 'I heard'
'Not afraid' Soots licked a claw and smiled showing off lethal little teeth. It was oddly charming and had Nigel give a snort of laughter. 'I've always had a little bit of a thing for bad boys' he winked, grinning to himself as Soots blinked at the sally.
With a poof Soots turned into a boy, a rangy youth maybe a year or two younger than Nigel. Black jeans, a band shirt and a leather jacket his body all standoffish. His eyes kept their defiance but there was practise about his pose and his slight head tilt gave him away. Nigel lost his fur standing again in his smart works suit. The contrast alone gave him a shiver.
'Only a little thing?' Soots gave a very direct look below the belt and Nigel laughed, this cat had fire 'Big enough to make you yowl!' he leered and was rewarded by a chuckle. 'By me a Latte over the road and you might get to prove it to me' Soots sauntered off without looking back, Nigel followed slowly enjoying the sway of his pert backside. He was definitely up for that challenge.
Yes, Yes, Yes. *grins* You took this prompt and made me see beyond Soots' ears tufts. Cuuuute.
A Latte to get into his pants... *snickers* Not quite old enough to get a beer or too early in the day? Is there a frustrated parent who's given up on their child settling down and doing something to further their life? *blinks innocently*
Nigel finished his report then walked the scenic route from the Negotiators office to the break room. It took him past the big echoy room set aside for lessons, rows of battered wooden desks filled with a scruffy array of kittens. He paused to watch, already having an idea how this would go down.
Soots sauntered in direct to the front of the group. The room fell silent as the little faces stared foward taking in the dark fur andthe white horn like tufts from each ear. There was the odd scared 'meow' and lots of wide wondering glances. He poofed to human and was revealed as a slim rangy youth, attitude dialled down but clothing still showing his rebellious nature. Georgeous, Nigel especially liked the lovely dark bruise just glimpsed under his open collar. A bruise the shape of Nigel's mouth.
A quick finger click and hand clap was the time honoured signal to change and the kittens obeyed. They were a mixed lot, the carefully neat and the defiantely scruffy. None of the kittens had much but they relied on attitude to get them through - something Soots knew a lot about.
'So kitts, you ready to learn?' He made it a challenge, embued it with excitment. Eyes sparked and faces turned eager, because a cat this demonic must have lots of stories to tell, lots of interesting things to teach them.
A chuckle startled Nigel who'd been too busy admiring his boyfriend and thinking of ways to reward him, that he hadn't realised he had company. 'Hey Mr Saunders, I was just..' 'Admiring the view' the older man grinned understanding 'I know how that feels' he surprised Nigel with a wink. It was strange to think of adults dating but the look his former teacher sent down the corridor to Mr Heathline spoke volumes. 'I guess you do' Nigel cheeked. 'You boy is doing good, he has those kittens enslaved already' 'He's very good' Nigel confirmed without intending innuendo though he grinned unrepentantly when he caught the Mr Saunders' twinkle. 'You boy is waiting' he tried to redirect' 'Yes. Yes he is, and yes he's very good too!' Mr Saunders walked off and Nigel heard a deep purred 'Socks' and a delighted 'Coal' through his burning ears, as his attention was drawn back to the classroom.
Ah but you wrote such wondrous story chapters to go with the prompt. I can totally see Soots as being a good teacher up in the front of the class.
Now if I can just get meridae to pick up that Fire Agate prompt and turn it into a story arc. She nibbles *laughing*(That's awful.) *snickers*, calling it magical familiar poop according to Ranel.
Frogs needs a dragon egg pic and liked it.
I'm doing such good work and now there is part 16 of my Steps arc too. I feel accomplished.
Is there a frustrated parent who's given up on their child settling down and doing something to further their life?
Mr Saunders herded his last student out with a friendly but determined smile, she shouted a cheery goodbye nodding acknowledgement to the man who moves to one side to allow her passage. There was the tentativeness of one out of their area of comfort, but the expensive suit was pressed sharp enough to do damage. Dark hair was cut short with a teasing of grey about the sides adding to his appeal. 'Can I help you?' Gold eyes swept quickly over him, he'd like to think they lingered. It was the guarded way he introduced himself that had Saunder's immediately connect father to child. 'I'm Coal Hearthline, I was told now would be a good time to speak with you?' 'Soots' dad, hi, come on in. I'm Socks Saunders, just call me Socks' 'Socks' the nod was respectful and his voice sounded good uttered in that deep controlled bass.
'Thank you for calling by Mr Hearthline' ..'Coal' 'Sorry?' 'Call me Coal, Socks..' 'Oh! Yes. Thank you for calling by Coal. I know it's not usual for lecturers to contact parents at college level but I really thought in this case..' 'What's he done' Coal sounded tired. 'Done?' 'Your predecessor was contacting me all the time regarding my son's..delinquence. Look Mr Saunders, Socks, my Soots is a good boy. He has a bit of attitude yes, but he works hard, he's a good lad.' It wasn't quite a scowl but the impression of thunder clouds was real. 'Delinquence?' Socks let his disgust show 'I'm finding my approach is very different to that of The Prof.' which was the politically correct way of saying he thought his predecessor was a narrow minded old fool with a teaching mentality straight from the dark ages. More stripes on his tawny hide than sense. 'Coal, do you know what grades your son gets?' 'No' He ran fingers through his hair, nice hands, strong capable looking fingers. 'I like to give him his space, I mean he'd say if there was anything wrong. We're close, we do talk' 'That's what I suspected.' Socks shook his head with a little chuckle 'Mr Hearthline' he turned formal 'Your son has the highest grades in the country. I asked to speak to you because I want to utilise that. I do couching away from the college helping at the Lost-Familiars-Concern what I'd like is to offer Soots a job there, it would be voluntary work but a good experience for him and I believe he has a lot to offer. He understands being, well, different'
'Have you spoken to him about it?' 'I've discussed the home and he seemed interested, I understand his boyfriend temps with their familiar-human negotiator dept' 'Yes Nigel, he's a nice boy' 'As I say, Soots seemed interested but I felt happier speaking to you about it before I made any recommendations.' There's been a nasty little case of inappropriate conduct only recently, mildly assuaged by the couple marrying and showing enthusiastic effort towards creating a second litter.
'Thank you' Coal ran that strong hand over his face releasing tension 'this wasn't at all what I was expecting' he beamed 'top of the country. Him and I need a good talk' A talk accompanied by a big hug if Socks was reading him right. 'He gets some trouble from the other cats but he's a feisty critter. I think he'd do well with your strays and he's mentioned teaching before' 'Then I'll speak with him later in the week' they shook hands, neither wanting to release the others 'Perhaps you'd like to visit the centre too, we're always glad of volunteers?' 'That sounds..yeah I might do that, perhaps, um, how about we go for a latte and discuss the idea more?' Socks glanced at the pile of marking weighing his desk down and figured if students could perpetually hand work in late, then for once he could make them wait an extra day for their grades.
I read them out of order almost. There was frantic where's part ?!2?! going on until I found it.
This, this is wonderful. I love teachers like this, who care and make a difference in their students' lives and you did this so well and added in that Soots' father is very like him in his preference for latte. *grins*
Soots going to have the embarrassment of a small sibling?
You need to make this photo larger so it can be studied. Is that a seam going down his belly of a treasure trail? Is that a hairy chest above the pectoral or the costume or is the costume all the seeming bare skin? *snickers* Is he Scottish?
hairy chest and beard and a big grin, I like it he look a giggle.
I think it's co-play have no idea who off though, got posted on gdreads after a search for 'blond slave' apparently!
HUH found it :D:D:D It's co-play Slave Leia :D Google those are some er worrying images! but 'Mike' whoever he is has a big grin in all his pics, good on him.
Treasure trail,,, you follow the trail down to the treasure. *nods nods* This is where a furry chested/bellied man would be at a disability, a person could be wandering around everywhere trying to find your way through the forest.
My mother had me pass along the name Nathaniel John to my daughter as a possible for the little in-process person if male. As I pointed out to her and as you did, Nate. It would be so much easier for small inexperienced fingers to write. Think they have a friend who's named that, godfather material *grins* maybe?
Nate seems so 'western cowboy'. I wasn't sure if you'd like it in the diminutive form.
Long names are so formal though, biblical. Nate is friendlier. I'll name him Nate and he can be full-named at some point ;) But then even short names get shortened - or lengthened which is a strange phenomena ;)
