So the relationship between my and kohai (I kind of want to keep his anonymity because I really don't want to go off the rails and gush about him using his real name) is getting pretty...heavy.
We met in an art class in the community college we both go to and we started talking about Spiderman (even though I know almost nothing comics related about Spiderman but I like him as a character) and we exchanged emails because we didn't have any classes together. (Neither of us have driving licenses and we rely on our families to drop us off at school) Mostly our emails were about ideas for comics. I hadn't done much with comics but I was interested and that's how we got to know each more even if I was practically foaming at the mouth with ideas.
We've seen each other on and off at the campus cafeteria and I would look forward to it because I had absolutely no one to talk to and most of time, I was basically stuck at school with nothing to do. I liked talking to him and I started to open up more and more. I said once that at school, I'm basically like Rei: I don't talk to anybody and keep to myself to the point where other people might think I'm just an indifferent weirdo and its maybe only art classes and English classes that I talk at all. But when I get to know somebody I think is worth my time, I want to spend ALL of my time with them and talk to them, which is probably why I come off as needy and clingy. Not only is he not weirded out by it, he's the same way. What was really great was how much stuff we have in common; not just interests but personality-wise. We're both kindred spirits of one another and because we both do art (and fall into similar despondent states of procrastination and frustration) we encourage each other and inspire each other. (or at least I like to think so) Community college has just left me in general feeling like a failure and depressed and he's easily the highlight of my day, even if we just talk about anime or comics.
Then last week, we started talking about...sex-type stuff. It sort of spun-out of an Evangelion conversation and we kind of admitted to one another our secret fetishes. Since he's more into anime than me (I've been dipping my toes into it for a while) I was kind of afraid I'd find out something he'd be into that would too dirty or nasty for me to agree with but we're both into the same thing
strap-ons and butt play in general
but never really admitted to anybody else because its sort of...niche and unconventional.
So he's working on getting his license so we can hang out more outside of school and maybe during Christmas break. Chances are very good for a Satoshi Kon marathon and maybe some cuddling
