His fingers splitted furiously over the brand new keyboard, complete with the laptop. He furrowed his eyebrows, concentrating hard on getting this stupid paper done before tomorrow. Even though it wasn't due until next monday. Suddenly an IM popped up on the screen.
KonnerIssacs68: Yo. Hows Harson?
Tanner glared at the screen. Thats the last person he wanted to talk to. His stupid older brother, Konner.
sheeeitbrotha_T.I: Leave me alone, I'm busy. KonnerIssacs68: Dude, chill. I know we had our problems, but really...don't you miss me at all? sheeeitbrotha68: Not really. KonnerIssacs68: Lol. Tomorrow, me and a few of my buddies are going to a show. Wanna go? sheeeitbrotha_T.I: I guess. Be over tomorrow. Bye.
Tanner exited out of the conversation and finished up the paper, soon shutting down his laptop to avoid any other Konner convos. A sigh parted from his chapped lips. The cold air was bristling and painful these days. He couldn't wait for spring. A chilling lonliness settled over the dorm room. Tanner glanced at the small beside clock and let out a short gasp. It was already 10:30 pm! There was no way Avery was going to want to sneak out now. She hadn't even called him. He understood completely though. He lifted his thin body out of the chair. Tanner had been losing a lot of weight lately due to the fact there was basically NO time for food anymore. He shrugged it off, though. It didn't really bother him. He'd always been skinny and not that interested in food. He walked over to his Gibson Les Paul guitar that leaned in the corner along with some song sheets. He picked his up and sat on his messy bed.
He began to play without an amp or song sheet. This song was pretty important to him. It encouraged him to begin musical interest. It was 'Welcome to the Jungle' by Guns N' Roses. It was old. He could play new, too, but this was a fairly easy song. A smile drug the corners of his lips upward. Tanner suddenly stopped, feeling empty and lonely once again.

"I thought you said he was 800 years old." Gee whiz, look who was standing in the doorway. Avery was panting, eyes scorching as they scanned his frame, taking in his image like it was brand new to her. No matter how many times she'd see that boy, he'd manage to earn her full attention. She pointed down the hallway, lips hanging open for a few moments before she finally spluttered out a stream of profanities. "That fucker...was trying to get me to leave. He was like..YELLING at me," she growled, inserting a few theatrical gasps in between her words. "And you have no clue how hard it was to get here," this was probably the most stressed he'd ever see her, as it was almost impossible to get her to the point of wanting to kill somebody, though her tense body and enraged eyes showed that she had definitely gotten herself to that point. "I'm so sorry, it's 10:30," she groaned, eyes scanning the clock beside his bed. This had not worked out at all like she'd imagined or planned, and that was enough to infuriate her even farther. It wasn't uncommon for her to make a mountain out of a molehill, but all she saw this turning out to was less time with him. She'd wanted to be here at least three hours earlier than the current time, and had completely failed. She was leaning against the doorway, an exasperated frown settled upon her infuriated face.

As her enraged voice suddenly filled the room, he jumped, not expecting this at all. He hopped up and jogged over to her, pulled her body to his. No, I'M so sorry. I had no idea he'd react like that. He's probably had a heartattact by now. He whispered, trying to calm her down. Don't worry...he'll forget about this in about 3 minutes. He told her. Psht, she could spend the night and no one would know. Tanner placed a finger underneathe her chin and lifted her mouth to his, kissing her for a long moment. Hopefully that would put her in a better mood. He took her hands and pulled her in the room, shutting and locking the door behind her so no one was tempted to spy on them. Tanner smiled her. He felt bad for making her come down here. She looked tired...He hoped she wasn't doing this just because he wanted her to. Are you ok? He asked softly, kissing her again.

"I am now," she almost looked dazed, as if the kisses had sent her into some sort of blissful dreamland. She was leaning almost completely on him, any sign of her previous rage having disappeared. "He's not going to come like, find me and make me leave, is he?" hah, she truthfully couldn't care less. He made her feel completely protected and safe, as if nothing in the world could even come close to touching her. She'd kill the guy before he could even ask her to leave Tanner's side, considering that was totally out of the question. As long as he wanted to put up with her tonight, she'd be sitting here in his dorm, even if they had to resort to staring at eachother for some sort of activity. Anything that would allow her to be with him. Her head was upon his shoulder, shifting to press her lips against his neck. "It's so great to see you," she was just barely whispering, arms gripped tightly around his stomach. He'd have to peel her off. Only now did she realize how much she'd been craving his attention and being with him.

A sigh of relief quietly excaped his vocals as she calmed down. He didn't want her to have to be here. He wanted her to wamt to be here. He held her tight, his hand locked behind her back. Tanner, too, wanted her attention, just as much as she wanted his. Nope. Like I said, he's already forgotten about it. Tanner said with an amused tone to his voice. He backed up a bit and sat on his bed, pulling her body to a sitting posistion on his lap. It's so great to see you too, baby. He said in a loving voice, kissing her cheek. Tonight was going to be PERFECT. Nothing could mess this up for him. Or her.

For a while, she simply stared at him, an occasional kiss placed upon his jaw just so she wouldn't come off as being creepy. She was building her courage up for the question that was nagging at her, though it's not like it was going to anger him. She just simply didn't like the thought of what she was asking, seeing it as fairly selfish. "What was that..surprise you were talking about, in IM?" her voice was high pitched, sweet as honey as she begged him to tell her. She was like a child, and he knew that - which meant he should also understand that it'd be impossible for her to function much longer without knowing what he'd been planning, or simply just pondering in his thoughts. Whatever it was, she wasn't going to rest until he told her. The silence of the dorm room surrounding them, her settled nicely into his lap. It was ideal. Things never ceased to work out amazingly with him, but she figured that was to be expected. She'd known not too long after she'd met him that he was something special, and perhaps she was just too nice, but that had seemed so obvious to her. It was amazing he hadn't already been taken by some girl when he'd arrived at this town. That idea caused her to shudder, blocking the thought out of her mind. She couldn't imagine a world without him, and it was idiotic to even let that enter her thoughts. It wasn't going to happen, so she had no reason to worry about it.

When she spoke, he almost jumped strait up. But, and idiot with half a brain would know that Avery would fall to the floor, and lets not do that Tanner. Tanner smiled and thought for a moment. I don't know...Maybe I shouldn't tell you yettt. He teased, smiling into her eyes. He knew that would drive her incredibly CRAZY. Tanner waited for her response. Of course he would give it to her, but he wanted a challenge from her first. He touched her black hair, gently running his fingers through her locks. A teasing smile creased his mouth upwards. Tanner was almost positive that she would love what we was about to do, but by some chance that she didn't, he'd definately find something else to surprise her with.

She was literally glaring at him, eyes searching over his face as she puckered out a bottom lip. She pulled off some absolutely irresistable puppy eyes, leaning in towards him and eventually leaning her forehead against his cheek. "Pweez?" she pouted, coming off as absolutely pathetic. Oh come on, she'd practically killed herself getting here, he couldn't keep the surprise he'd been bragging about from her for long. She clearly wasn't expecting an instant response, running her lips down to the corner of his mouth. "I will kiss you if you tell me. Otherwise, no more kisses for the rest of your life," hah, some threat. She couldn't go a day without craving his presence, and like she was going to resist herself from kissing him? Good luck with mission impossible, Avery. Curiosity killed the cat, and she was trying to extinguish it, the millions of thoughts of her 'surprises' keeping her from doing so. She was going to explode soon if he didn't just come out and say it, or do it, or..whatever he had planned. Truth was, she didn't really have a logical idea.

The teasing smile was still plastered on his playful expression. Welll... He continued his torchuring game. He began to shift his body, picking her up and setting her on his bed. The pathetic smile turned into a full-out grin. Tanner turned to the set of drawers next to his bed and opened the top drawer, pulling out two small boxes. One was a $400 diamond necklace and the other was a $300 giftcard to Hot Tropic. He knew that he probably should've put more thought into giving her something a little more special, but he'd gained some extra cash and what else could he POSSIBLY want to do but spend it ALL on Avery. She was the light to his tunnel, the cheese to his maccaroni, his everything and this is just half of what he wanted to give her in the next few weeks. He'd been getting paid to play solo acoustic songs at a local coffee shop and was working some hours at a concert venue concession stand. How did he gain all this cash with these little odd jobs? That for him to know. This wasn't all that he was giving her, there were so many things he had planned....Much more original things than spending money on her. Things that he thought of himself that were going to as special to him as for her. She couldn't know yet, though.
Tanner smiled and handed her the two items. It's not much, but I figured you might like them. He said, putting his hand on the back of his neck. Money wasn't a big object to Tanner so thats why he told her the very expensive items were nothing much. He felt bad because he didn't have something more formal planned for her.

(BAHA, the cheese to his macaroni. That. is funny. )
This entire thing caught her off guard, from suddenly being handed what, $700 to his almost nervous demeanor as he stood before her. Until she'd seen the hopeful look on his face, she was going to reject it. Horrible thing was, she wasn't worth this, not even close. She should be giving him something, considering he'd basically saved her life, and made everything worth living for. Unfortunately, she was on the verge of crying again, since she couldn't handle her emotions as well as she usually could when she was with him. Part of that was because she felt simply so comfortable with him, almost vulnerable, and knew he'd accept her for what she was, no matter what she barreled his way. Her moist, deer in the headlight eyes wandered up to his twisted features as she gently set what he'd given her beside her on the bed, as if they were fragile.
Of course, she didn't see him in that same light, considering she ran at him, glomping him in a hug that had enough force to send him back a few steps. "You are the best person..I've ever met," fuck, she had to get all choked up right now. Her voice broke, the word 'met' difficult for her to gasp out. A lot of girls might not have reacted this way, for quite a few reasons, but she was just different. This was how she intended to show him her ceaseless thanks, for more than just the necklace and the giftcard. For everything.

Really, he wasn't quite sure if he'd expected this or not. He'd take in whatever she had as a response, though. As she hugged him, he felt a certain sense of pride that he hadn't felt in years. Proud to be Avery John's boyfriend. And so much more than that. He knew that she was going to be his final love, no matter if she loved him back or not. Tanner wanted to reply, but all he could do was hug her back, harder than usual. Due to the fact that his emotions were triggered at the sound of her beginning to cry. He held her. That's all he wanted to do at the moment. This was by far the best feeling you could EVER have. It was different though because he'd never felt this feeling before. He'd had girlfriends before, but none like this...None that he could completely open up to, none that were as beautiful and confident like this one. She was the only one. Avery...You deserve everything you're given. I truly loveyou. He'd never said that before...especially to a girl. His heart seemed to swell. He knew from then on...he was set for life.

"Stop talking, or I'm going to keep crying," she threatened, laughter breaking through her hushed emotions. "I love you too," she muttered, finally backing off of him, considering he probably couldn't breathe with how hard she'd been hugging him. Of course, she couldn't hold back being the dork she was for that long of a period of time - which was why a hand was clapped over her eyes as she took a few strides backwards. "I don't want you to see my messed up makeup," she offered her excuse, hoping he wouldn't assume she'd gone crazy, especially since she ran into the drawers that her gifts had originally emerged from with a small "oof". Instinctively, the hand was off of her eyes, staring behind her at the desk like it was some monster. "Stupid desk," she growled, turning back to stare at him with a brilliant smile. Bounding back to the bed, she snatched up the necklace, running up to him. She was moving at hyperspeed now, a kiss placed on either of his cheeks as she opened the case. "Put it on me, put it on me," her feet were pounding up and down as though she was marching, her excitement unbearable.

Tanner smiled at her lovable reaction. He pinched the necklace between his thumb and forefinger, wrapping it carefully around her neck. As he latched the necklace, he gently turned her aorund to get a vision of how it really looked on a person. Actually, he was quite proud of his purchase. He'd never been able to pick something so nice out for ANYONE. Even for his best friend's birthday, or his cousin, Sterling...or even his own mother! Like it?? He asked quietly, his lids becoming heavy over his pale blue eyes. It wasn't that he was tired, he was just getting woozy due to all the exitement. Her beauty, her being here in the middle of the night was absolutely perfect to him. It was strange, yet superb how just two people could create such a close bond and love each other so much in just a few short weeks. Wow...it had been a month. Time flew by when he was with her...which sucked sometimes. Yet, it was all worth it knowing that she'd be right by his side for a long time.
Tanner looked at her for a few moments. You can stay the night...if you want...He spoke shyly, not knowing if she was going to feel completely uncomfortable staying the night with a teenage boy.

"Love it, love it, love you, love it, love you.." she was going back and forth with her words frantically, twirling a strand of hair around her finger as she kept her crisp eyes focused entirely upon his perfect face. Who knows how often she'd see him after this point for a while - she had to really take in and memorize the moment, or she'd kick herself for it later. Her eyes flickered away only for a second at the door, checking upon it to see that nobody was going to exactly intrude upon them. Luckily for her, the door didn't move for a second, which was obviously enough permission to leap on him as she did, legs wrapped around his waist. She was really hoping he'd be slightly prepared for that, or she was going to fall on her ass, but nothing really mattered much but him. "Sure I'll stay," she smirked, kissing his nose at the sheepish expression she saw there. Just too cute. It was crazy.

Luckily for him, he was prepared for anything nowadays, knowing how unpredictable Avery was with her actions. He chuckled and held her carefully. It was definately not a problem to hold her due to her small weight. Perfect!He replied to her acception of his overnight invitation. Never did he seize to grin in those moments. It was just to amazing and perfect for it. Tanner took a few steps backward, falling onto the bed to where she was ontop of him. Maybe this would be a little more comfortable for her due to the face that she was totally in control at the moment. She could easily handcuff his hands and feet to the corners of the bed and beat him with a stick. He couldn't do a thing about it. Even if he wanted to.

Even though that would've been slightly interesting, minus the beating him with a stick part, she wasn't quite in the mood for that. She just wanted kisses, your basic affection that suited this moment quite well, smacking her lips against his the second he was down. True, she was handling this much better than he'd probably been thinking she would, not feeling so helpless and puppet-like as she had in the meadow just a while ago. It was a mild bit of deja vu, however, holding herself up in the exact same position he had in that moment, in order to not squish him into the bed until he suffocated. That'd mess this up just a tad as well. A pleased hum came from her throat, shifting to press her lips against his jaw and nibbling slightly on his earlobe. In her opinion, she could never do the same thing to him that he did to her, make her breathless with a glance and stunned with every single time he touched her. She could only try.

Psht, that was definately not the case. Tanner could only breathe short gasps when he caught sight of the beautiful Avery. She was like his anti-drug. Everything that he could've ever dreamed of. He made himself completely vulnerable as she kissed him. He didn't want her to feel like he was in control. Which he wasn't at the moment. He let her do whatever she felt like. Anything would be good for him. He stretched out his arms to where they weren't even touching her. The only thing that was touching her was his body against her's.

Either she was just getting worn out of this, or she as completely delirious due to what he was making her feel right now - and if she didn't know any better, she would've gone with the latter. She started cracking up, rolling onto the bed beside him and laughing even harder, clutching at her stomach. "I'm so stupid," she gasped, running a few fingers across his neck where she'd kissed it just earier. "I'm like..the worst girlfriend ever and I have you pinned on a bed and I'm kissing you. It's crazy," she smirked. The meaning behind her words was almost impossible to discover. She a stupid because she was kissing him? It was so hard to understand her at times,but if you looked into her words enough, you'd maybe see a faint glimmer of what she was attempting to get across.
