Highschool Boys [Young Gays]

“I’m dooooone Ryou! Is there anything else I should do?” The small noodle called, chirping suddenly at the pegasus who jumped a little before he slowly slid his front legs forward and moving his lower half down like he was some strange form of dog horse that was stretching out.

“Why don't you go wait on deck with Cas for Diem? He may have a bunch of things.” Drying his hand off as he finished putting away dishes and was now opening a window to let some fresh air in, He did love that nice moment of the ship being almost completely clean. It didn’t take long at all but he adored it, knowing everything was done for now and wouldn’t be a pain next time he came home and cleaned up again.

“Okay! Let’s go Dina noodle!” Back up to tapping around, Cas led the way to the door with his hooves making musical noises along the way, very excited to meet this new person that was going to be staying with them! He usually tuned Ryou out unless he sent off odd feelings so all the wind hybrid knew was it was a school mate and he was a pretty kitty. He loves cats so he minded not! And it made his rider feel sooooo happy.

“There he is!” DIna squeed, rushing down to meet DIem and pat at his fluff of hair as he ascended up the ramp. Cas gasped as he pranced down to meet him, rubbing his hair of fluff against DIem as his mouth grabbed at the bag, tugging it gently to try and take it from the younger male even if he didn’t waaaaaaaanna give it up.

Only part way up, Diem was huffing already as he trudged his way forward. It was so much harder climbing, everything felt twice as heavy as it really was. "Hello Dina, I haven't seen you in forever." Telling jokes just cause he was so tired, he figured the middle of the ramp was as good a place to take a short break. One that was soon interrupted by a dragon that was even larger than Malice, though that looked to be mostly fluff and the empty space that was its sliced neck.

Dragons came in all shapes and sizes, but this was a first for him.

"Ah, w-wait not that one. Here." Pretty sure this was one of Ryou's other dragons, Diem kept a firm grasp on the bag the horse was trying to take and held out the clothes instead. The bag of books had both his journal and a diary that he very much didn't want anyone to see for the life of him. It was quite different from his everyday journal in that only the gayest of thoughts got jotted down in that one since it had a special tiny lock. Granted a cheap one, like girl's used with a very standard key, but it worked.

Tugging a little harder as Diem, Cas stopped as he started stuttering. Just standing there with the bookbag gently still in his mouth but not let go. Being offered another bag he let it go though, taking the other bag as Dina was resting on Diem’s shoulder and patting his hair with her tiny hands as he tried to take a short rest while carrying all the heavy things.

“Hasn’t been that long but hi! We cleaned the house and sang the cleaning song and and...” Droning on and on about alllll the stuff they did while Diem was off packing. Cas was trotting ahead, head moving back and forth as if to the tune of a song that only he could hear.

“What are you two dooooooing?” Ryou called as he spotted the two trotting along, shaking his head as Dina flew off the cat eared boy to wrap around Ryou’s neck instead

“Saying hi of course!” Nodding, Cas agreed as he pranced around, rubbing his head against Ryou as he sighed and went down to meet Diem who looked to be struggling.

“Oh dear, why didn’t you let Cas or Dina take your bag? It looks so heavy.” He sounded truly distressed by the tired cat boy.

“Because he’s stubborn!” Cas told him, trotting into the kitchen as Ryou just squinted at his dragon who vanished from sight. He wasn’t wroooooong but still.

Enjoying the short breather as Dina filled it with pretty chatter and Cas finally took the other bag in sacrifice, Diem did prefer to listen. Whenever he gave his own opinions on things, for some reason people tended to squint at him. Or pull on his ears. Or threaten to stab him. Like that first day when he thought the teachers were just other students.

Looking up at another voice, he was just starting to ascend again with the bag of books when he heard Ryou. Putting one foot in front of the other, he shook his head, adjusting the weight as he started up. "It's got my diary in it, so I'd rather keep it on me." Not that he thought the fluffy horse would rifle through his things, but it made him feel better to keep it close since he had been hiding it so long. Even from the time he still lived with his parents, it had the story of a very pretty boy with sparkling blue eyes that had been his first crush. Very gay. "It's not that heavy anyway, I'm just tired from going through town with them."

“You could have just let him taken it though, it’s not like he’ll be digging through your bag and reading your deep dark gay secrets.” Though kidding, Ryou didn’t realize that was indeed why it was kept so close.

All the same, he shook his head at Diem but walked alongside him, holding open the large doors that led to the kitchen area where things were usually dropped off first before moving downstairs or to where they needed to be. Close by the open doors was a hand trolly with raised sides. Diem’s bag of clothes already set into it as Cas had wandered off, maybe to go get the other dragon to meet Diem? He did like to make sure all the friends met each other so that was a strong possibility.

“You can put your bag in there, this is just the kitchen area but the ship is big so it’ll be easier to push that down the stairs over carry it.” The stairs were not the best, but Ryou hadn’t gotten around to fixing them up yet so they were a bit uneven. Worst case it would be rolled across the deck to the captain's quarters, which also worked as that was where Ryou had many of his own books and supplies. It was also what was the ‘living room’ area as far as one was considered. “Shall we get you a drink so you can have a tour around? There aren’t many rooms but it’s always nice to know the area so you don't get lost~”

“Yeah! Exploooooore! ADVENTURE!” Dina pipped up from Ryou’s shoulders, getting hushed as she wiggled at Diem to just relaaaax and let Ryou lead him around.
