The next night.
I had been sick as hell all day and had a raging headache. It was a Saturday so I didn't have any classes so I could afford to stay in bed all day.
Tate was at Jonah's for the weekend so I was by myself. Typically, this would be when I'd have Zach over but...my health was clearly deteriorating.
Oh and I was also, ya know, working on getting back together with Luke.
I heard my phone buzz and groaned as I reached for my phone.
It was Zach.
"Hello."
"Yo you free tonight? I can come over."
"Did you not see my snap?"
"No? What snap?"
"Check your snap and call me back."
I hung up and rolled over in bed to blow my nose again.
My phone buzzed again and I picked it up.
"You're sick?"
"That's what I said."
"Alright so rain check on that?"
"Sure."
"Do you need anything? I know you're alone tonight."
"Nah I'm fine. Thanks though."
"Well, hopefully you feel better soon. If you need anything text me ok?"
"Yeah of course."
"Bye."
"Bye."
I rolled over in bed again and tried to close my eyes.
About forty five minutes later I heard a knock at my door.
I sat up in bed.

"Come in?" I said, cautiously. Who could possibly be trying to see me right now?
"Ya know, you should really lock your door. I could've been a serial killer." Zach walked into my room, closing and locking the door behind him.
I rolled my eyes. "Zach, what are you doing here? I told you. I'm not having sex with you right now. I feel like hell."
"I know." He said taking off his sweatshirt. "Now make room."
"What are you doing?" I said, laughing at him but making room in bed for him nonetheless.
"Taking care of you." He said, getting up onto my bed, putting one arm around me.
"You're ridiculous." I said, smiling at him.
"Yeah, but I'm your ridiculous best friend. And as you're ridiculous best friend, I'm here to take care of you." He said, pulling me in close to him.
"Ok well, as much as I would enjoy cuddling you, I should warn you that every five seconds I have to roll onto a different side so everything in my nose clears one side then the other."
"Alright, I'll roll with you then." He said, laughing.
"Ok, real talk though, why are you doing this?" I asked him, trying to reach the tissues at the end of my bed.
He handed me one, "Because."
I blew my nose, "Because why."
"I'm trying to show you that we're more than just sex."
"Zach, we've talked about this. And you know I'm trying to fix things with Luke again."
"So? I can still show you what you'd be missing." He said, winking at me.
"You're ridiculous." I said, rolling over onto my other side.
As promised, he did so as well to spoon me.

"Look, this isn't important right now. You just rest ok?"
"Alright, but you gotta sing for me." I said, smiling at him.
"Fine. What you want me to sing?"
"I don't know...something new. Something I haven't heard before."
"Uh...well what about something that I've been working on for me and the boys?"
"Sure. That works."
"Alright. Uh...used to be scared of the ocean 'cause I didn't know how to swim. I took one sip of your potion. Now I'm just divin' right in. I heard your siren's call it was beautiful. I am drowning but please don't save me. I'm in too deep can't touch the bottom with my feet. Don't know what you did to me I can't breathe but I'm living..."
I didn't get to hear him finish the rest of the song. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Millennial Mage (A Slice of Life, Progression Fantasy)
The world is wild, untamed. Humanity thrives, but only in isolated, well defended cities, ever shrinking as the wilds slowly reclaim all that was taken. The most capable magic users are raised up as Mages to serve mankind, further their cause, and defend them over the course of millennia. Tala is freshly graduated from the magic academy and determined to make her own way in the world. She hopes to pay off her massive debts, quickly, but still plans on living each and every day to the fullest. Too bad the Academy left some glaring holes in her practical education. Loath to let that slow her down, and with no patience for a standard, low-paid apprenticeship (intended to fill many of those knowledge gaps), Tala strives to learn and improve as rapidly as she can on her own. Her unorthodox methods for preserving her own life allow her to take greater risks in search of profit and advancement, much to the surprise of those around her. I do hope you enjoy this tale, but let me know what you think either way! Critique, both positive and negative, is welcome.

The Awakened
Mark was a data analyst that had recently landed a job in a company and his life was pretty normal if not a bit boring through upon meeting a mugger in an alley his life had a drastic change not neccesarily for the better. He stopped being a sleeper and saw a glimpse of the true form of the world which opened his eyes to a new life altogether. ============================================================================================== This is my first fiction and i am loosely basing this on Mage:The Awakening rulebook. Naturally i am going to change things a bit but i don't intend to make this a novel where the main character goes around changing the whole world. It will be based on a normal guy discovering a new world while trying to find his place in it. Also please write comments warning me about things such as development speed or unrealistic relations.
