I aM tHe WaLrUs

[KERFUFFLE]

16, 17 and 18. Equivalent juniors and seniors.

Asher made his way over to her and said to her, "Do you want me to do those? You cooked after all. I should do some work, too," he chuckled. He smiled to himself as she sang. He loved to hear her sing so much, and missed it an awful lot while he'd been away.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Ohhh, okay! I got it =)

Lucy stepped aside and said, "You can help me, but I'm not letting you do them all by yourself, Asher. I made the mess, I should help clean it up, in my opinion." She smiled at him, then went back to doing the dishes, singing a little bit louder. Occasionally, she would reach over and brush his arms with her fingertips, as if reassuring herself that he was really there."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

They have their own canteen as well. I can't wait to be in sixth for and wear my own clothes and have really specific classes and free periods and be allowed to go into town.

"Okay, good enough for me," Asher chuckled, helping to dry and stack the dishes away. Occasionally, he would sing very quietly along with her, if he knew the song. Some, of course, were newer, and he'd never heard them. He didn't think much of his voice, but it was quietly, he was happy, so he didn't mind.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

That sounds so awesome!

The only extra things we get inside school are... wearing what we want (which is what everyone gets), and teachers trust us more.

Lucy tried her best to listen as Asher sang, loving to hear him sing. He always sounded so happy and at peace when he sang with her, and it made her completely happy as well. She scooted closer to him, trying to listen in nonchalantly. When the dishes were done, she wrapped an arm around his middle, beaming up at him.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Yeah. Already teachers are so much more trusting. My tutor is awesome. I can't believe it's my final year with him!

Literally, he's the school hearthrob teacher. He's such a nice guy, as well. And, I think I'm one of his favourite tutees. Everyone is so jealous of me xDD

"Don't listen to me," Asher murmured, chuckling quietly, even blushing a little bit. "You've got a beautiful voice and I sound terrible." He wasn't nearly as bad as he made himself out to be, though. He wrapped his arms around just below her shoulders, smiling down at her adoringly.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

xD Well, if he's the heartthrob of the school, then I can understand why!

It's sad that it's your final year. What subject does he tutor you for?

Lucy made a 'pfft' voice, rolling her eyes and shaking her head. "Really, Asher, you don't sound terrible! You're actually pretty good, even though you don't think so. If you want to hear bad singing, you should listen to Jesse. He's terrible!" She laughed, cuddling closer to him with a big smile. "I love hearing you sing, anyway!"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

He's a form tutor, so he registers us and we have him in the mornings and afternoons every day. He's the one we go to with problems and things like that.

"Well, I beg to differ, especially when compared to you, I am," Asher protested, "You don't have to pretend I'm not too awful," he laughed. He kissed her forehead and said, "Okay, I can just imagine that being terrible. And, thank you, I'm glad you kike to listen. I love hearing you sing so much."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Ohhhh!! Lucky duckies! xD

we mainly have female teachers, and the male teachers are older and not cute.

BUT, the choir is getting a new co teacher. And apparently he's young and cute! RATS! I would be leaving Dx

Lucy huffed and cupped his face in her hands, bringing their faces close together. "You're being a big dummy! I am not pretending, and if I thought you weren't good, I wouldn't say anything about your singing." She stuck her tongue out at him, then gave him a hug. "I'm glad you like hearing me sing, because I do it all the time."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I can't say he's hot, he's been my tutor for four years, and it'd be a bit weird.

My Mom loves parents' evening, I'm sure you can imagine. She thinks he's gorgeous xD

Asher chuckled and stole a quick kiss from her before she hugged him. "Okay, okay, I believe you. But I'll leave most of the singing to you and focus on my forté, art, for most of the time." He hugged her tightly. "You have a beautiful voice. And the song you wrote for me is my new favourite song."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Yeah... I can see that. It's like if a friend of you parents is cute, it'd be weird to say it.

Lucy said, "Well, you should sing with me once in a while. I like singing with you a lot, you know. It's better than singing alone, anyway." She gave him another kiss, then shied away from his compliments. "Thanks, but it's not that great. I mean, compared to the songs on the radio, it's lame."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Yeah, pretty much.

I got a dress!! =D

"Maybe I will. We'll see," Asher smiled, returning the kiss while it lasted. "I beg to differ, though. Sure, it's not as profound as Led Zeppelin,"-- one should mention they were Asher's favourite band who were around at the time--"but The Beatles' songs aren't either. Their songs are great, but they're pretty simple. I think yours is great."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Yayyyyy!!! What does it look like?

Oh, I'll probably be leaving soon. I'm going to a birthday party =)

Lucy said, "It's okay. It's not great. But thank you. I just wanted you to like it, that's it. I want to sing it only for you, and that'll give me happiness enough, I think." She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his chest playfully, before darting away towards the art studio, singing softly to herself as she went, her smile so big she though her face would crack.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

It's this AMAZING royal blue colour, with black sequins around the top in a pattern. It's simple, but it's beautiful. And it's not too "wedding-y", so I can wear it again

Have fun!

"I'm happy with that. If you were famous, I wouldn't be able to keep you. Thousands of charming, gorgeous guys falling at your feet!" Asher laughed. He watched her skip away from him for a moment before he followed behind. When he arrived in his studio, he leaned against the doorframe, waiting to see what she'd do next.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Ohhh! That sounds so awesome! I'm glad you bought a dress that can be worn for more than just weddings, too.

I did have fun! =) And tomorrow, I'm sleeping in!

Lucy called back, "None of them make me smile the way you do. none of them make me all giddy and happy inside, the way you do. You're even better than all of them put together." Lucy sat down in a stool in front of a blank canvas. "Can I watch when you draw me? Or should I let it be a surprise?" She asked, idly swinging her legs, tilting her head from side to side playfully.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Yeah. We were going for that. Since we don't have many weddings, pretty much everyone old enough in my family is married now! So to spend money on something I'll wear once is silly.

Yay for birthday parties and yay for sleeping in!

Asher smiled to himself at what she'd said. He then ran to the bedroom and slipped on a pair of jeans-- he didn't know why, but the idea of drawing without pants on seemed too weird to him. When he returned, he came fully into the studio and she spoke to him. He asked her, "I'm not entirely sure if you can watch and be drawn at the same time. Besides, I think it'd be nice if it was a surprise. This isn't going to be just a drawing, you know. Another lengthy painting project, to the standard of the pieces I sell." He was a surrealist-fantasy artist for the most part, though his paintings were so exsquisitely deatilled that he made impossible things look totally real. He stepped over to her and said, "Therefore, I need to put you in a pose, and you have to look a little like you're day-dreaming-- you're somewhere very far away." He gently took hold of her, placing her limbs wherever he felt like they should go. And before returning to his easel, he leaned down and kissed her neck affectionately a few times, then going to find himself a pencil.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

I'm actually going to a wedding on Saturday! xD It's for a long time friend of the family. And yes, I agree (although prom is an entirely different story xD )

I slept in, and it was pretty great! =D

"I can do that," Lucy told him, smiling. So, she really did start daydreaming, to make her face follow what her mind was doing. She was completely still, like a statue, and her face didn't move or twitch. In fact, the only way you could tell her apart from a statue was the subtle rising and falling of her chest, because of her need to breathe. When she daydreamed, she daydreamed about home. The fields and the flowers, and showing them to Asher. She knew he'd probably seen fields before, and he'd definitely seen flowers. But the ones back home were special.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Oh, really? Pretty much all the family friends are married, too. We don't have many-- a lot of them still live in SA or other parts of the UK that are far away. I've never been to a wedding before.

Yeah. A prom dress will have to be special, of course. Especially because I only get to go to one

I didn't. I was up until past 12 last night and yet I woke up at 7:45. I don't know why, I just couldn't get back to sleep, but I'm not tired, so it's okay.

Asher kept waiting for a time to tell her to stop moving. He was amazed that every time he looked up from the canvas, she was totally still. She was holding a beautiful pose, and a perfect expression-- he figured that either she was really good at this, or she really was daydreaming. He finished sketching her out, being the perfectionist he was-- particularly because he wanted to capture her as perfectly as she could, to try and do her justice--, this took just over a half hour. He looked up and said, "You can relax now. I'll have to ask you to come back another time. I just have to get all the other elements on here." He picked up a little notebook and asked her, "Tell me, what were you daydreaming about?" He looked ready to write.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

I have tons of cousins that are around my age and older, so I've been to their weddings. And my mom's side of the family has a few friends who've gotten married too.

when do you get to go?

Dx that's not good! I woke up around 7, because everyone was getting ready for school. then I went back to sleep.

When Asher told her that she could relax, she gave a soft sigh of relief, stretching out her limbs slowly. "What was I daydreaming about? Well... I was daydreaming about big open fields of wheat, and flowers, too. I was daydreaming about big blue skies with white clouds going by lazily. And there was a breeze that carried petals up into the heavens. And I was there, and you were there, and it was happy. And I also daydreamed about sailing over an ocean of crystal clear water."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Oh. Well, my oldest cousin could get married. But he's not yet. And the rest are around my age or much younger. So, too young to marry xD

The end of this coming school year. I can't believe it, actually..

Asher scribbled down a few notes on what she'd said, for ideas on what to include. You see, he wanted to make this painting as personal as possible, so that it meant something specifically to them when they looked at it. He smiled and said, "Sounds wonderful. But maybe not as far fetched as I was expecting. All of those things are very possible." He shut his notebook.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

xD I have a few cousins who are younger than me. And I have my older borther and my little brother and little sister. HOPEFULLY I'll get to go to their weddings, assuming they do get married.

How exciting!!! You'll love it. Do they have live bands that play for you guys, or do you just hire a dj? We hire a dj.

Lucy said, "I've just been thinking a lot about home, lately. It's the place I ran to when I had nowhere left to turn, when I thought I'd lost you." She moved and kissed him gently, smiling slightly. "I can't wait to show you where I grew up. But I hope my parents don't bring out the baby pictures. That would be embarrassing." Then she laughed, running her fingers through his hair. "Don't get me wrong, I love New York, but sometimes you just need to take a breath of fresh air-- literally."
