Ike felt gloomy the rest of the night and he figured he'd sulk at home until he fell asleep. He must've done something that upset Firkle- but what did he do? Maybe Firkle was just tired today as he said he was.

Ike through down his bag in his room and flopped on his bed and sighed. At least he said he'd see him tomorrow. He probably didn't do anything wrong then. Or maybe he did and Firkle just didn't want him to know.

There's a knock at his window and Ike jumps. He stands up and opens his window and Firkle climbs his way into Ike's room.

Ike feels surprised and slightly concerned. "Firkle? What are you-" then Firkle is kissing him roughly. Firkle flings his arms around his neck and jumps onto Ike before Ike even knows what's happening. Ike instinctively grabs Firkle to hold him up as he wraps his legs around Ike's waist.

Ike doesn't really respond and Firkle pulls back, his face flushed pink.

"Uh Firkle," Ike begins, "What are you doing here?" Firkle moves one of his hands to the back of Ike's neck, tracing his spinal cord to his hair and Ike shivered slightly. "We shouldn't. You're clearly upset about something and I-"

Firkle leans in and kisses him again and pulls only a little bit away to say, "The only thing I'm upset about is the lack of response I'm getting," and he leans in to kiss Ike again.

Ike pulls away this time, moving to sit Firkle down on his bed and Firkle pulls him down on top of him. "Ike..." he whispers, "I want you." And if it isn't one of the hottest things Ike's ever heard-

"Are you sure?" Ike asks, "You didn't seem to feel the same way earlier and I don't want to do anything you wouldn't-"

"I'm sure," he leans up and whispers into Ike's ear, "I was thinking we could do something."

Ike blushed as Firkle bit down on his neck, with full intentions of leaving a very noticeable hickey. If Ike was going to keep things casual with him, he'd let everyone know that he was only doing it with Firkle. Firkle licked over the red bite mark and felt so pleased with himself. He was going to let everyone know Ike was reserved for him.
