Do these bullet points all make sense?  Yeah, that should be fine.  Coffee coffee coffee, why isn’t there more coffee?\n\n“Hey, babe.  Doing alright?”\n\nTeddy barely registered the voice of his roommate.  They were just roommates.  Just that.  As far as anyone back home needed to know, or indeed anyone in class.  “Just wrapping up this presentation for my marketing seminar,” he said.\n\nTwo paws came to rest on his shoulders.  Strong paws.  Comforting paws.  “Really burning the midnight oil, aren’t you?”\n\nThe familiar stirring in his stomach distracted the fennec.  It had been such a relief to find a male who really understood him.  When he’d first met Derick in his macroeconomics class, he never would have suspected that they’d be rooming together.  The deer was a football player, huge, stocky, MANLY.  Being thrown into a group project with him was going to be a nightmare.  He’d have to carry the jock’s weight.\n\nBut Derick wasn’t like that at all.  He played football, sure, but he was under no illusion of going pro or any of that bullshit.  His words.  His football scholarship was just to help him pay for his education.  He wanted to be a chemistry teacher, and took his studies just as seriously as his sport.  In the end, they’d formed a friendship.  They studied together.  And when Derick quietly came out to him as gay, Teddy had done the same.\n\nHe was magnificent.  They had no idea if they meant to last, but while they were at school, they had each other.  Teddy hadn’t hesitated for a second when Derick suggested they look for an apartment together for their senior year.  Living with him had been wonderful.  Neither male had to hide from each other.  Their courses of study were radically different, but they clicked in the most serene way.  The sex wasn’t bad, either.\n\nTeddy sighed and leaned back in his chair.  “Can’t relax just yet,” Teddy said.  “This is my most important project.  This is what I’m going to be DOING.  Can’t fuck this up!”\n\nDerick leaned down over him.  Those strong arms wrapped around the fennec’s torso.  “I know, I know.  Just don’t stay up too late, alright?  I miss my fenfen.”\n\nWarm tingles ran down Teddy’s spine.  He tore his paws from his keyboard and grabbed onto those muscular arms holding him.  “I’ve missed you, too,” he whispered.  “But I’m almost done.  Once this presentation is done, I can relax a little.”\n\nThe deer kissed the top of his head.  “How’s the job hunt been going?  I know you were looking at big cities.”\n\n“I’ve got a promising lead in Boston,” Teddy said.  “It’s a medium size company, operates in the US and Europe, looking at expanding into Asian markets.  This could be a golden opportunity.”\n\nDerick chuckled.  “Boston, huh?  That’s a little far from home.”\n\n“Not far enough!” Teddy declared.  He leaned back against the deer and sighed.  “Same time zone, at least, so there’s something.”\n\n“True that,” Derick replied.  “Heh… wonder what I’d need to get certified to start teaching out there…”\n\nThe icy knife in his back.  This discussion always tore him in two directions.  On the one paw, he’d love to have Derick with him.  It’d make a move nearly a thousand miles away from home that much more bearable, to have a familiar face going with him.  And he really did love Derick, even if they both had trouble saying it.  \n\nOn the other paw, though, Derick felt almost too good to be true.  Derick was a right-now boyfriend.  Part of him really wanted to cut ties with everything he’d ever known and get a fresh start, in one of those liberal hubs his pastor at home liked to compare to Sodom and Gomorrah.  Not that Columbus was any less liberal, as he’d found out pretty quickly upon arriving.  But the coasts called to him.  He felt a little sick every time he thought about breaking up with Derick at the end of the semester.\n\n“Oh, not this again,” Teddy muttered.  “You’ve got so much for you right here.  Why would you want to throw that all away just to chase me?”\n\nThe deer laughed and kissed between Teddy’s ears.  “I couldn’t imagine any other man I’d want to follow.”\n\nTeddy sighed and nuzzled Derick’s arm.  Some days he was just too… he couldn’t even think of a good word for it.  He kissed the deer’s upper arm, inhaled his scent.  Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea.\n\nHe grabbed his mouse and minimized his presentation, then brought up his browser.\n\n“Doing some more research for your project?” Derick teased.\n\n“Something like that,” Teddy replied.  He typed ‘teacher licensure Massachusetts’ into the search bar.\n\n“Oh, and what might this be for?” Derick said.\n\n“Just a thought experiment,” Teddy replied.  Why was he doing this?  He clicked the first result on his search and scanned the page.\n\n“I’ve already looked into it,” Derick whispered.  “My advisor made arrangements for me to take the requisite exams here.  I’ve already passed them for Ohio and Massachusetts.  Got offers in both states, too.”\n\n“You’re insane,” Teddy said.\n\n“Isn’t that my best quality?” the deer replied.\n\nTeddy leaned back in his chair and grabbed the deer’s arms again.  He held them tight to his chest as he stared straight ahead of him, not seeing anything.  “Your family still loves and supports you.  Why would you leave them behind to follow a stupid faggot like me?”\n\nThis time the deer pulled away.  He turned the fennec’s chair around and grabbed his shoulders.  He leaned down, staring into the fennec’s eyes, his face so close their noses were practically touching.\n\n“First of all,” Derick said.  “Never talk about yourself that way.  You’re a wonderful man and you know it.”  He gave Teddy a quick peck on the lips.  “Second of all, yes, they love and support me.  And that includes realizing that I might be moving far away.  I can still visit over Christmas and the summers.  Thirdly…”  He pressed his lips to Teddy’s again.  “Come to bed.  You’ve had a long day.”\n\nThe fennec whined as Derick pulled him up out of his chair.  Teddy was certain that if Derick wanted to, he could have carried the fennec all the way to Boston and not even break a sweat.  The deer held his paws in a gentle grip and guided him to their bedroom.\n\n“Let me show you why I want to follow you out to Boston,” Derick whispered.\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>Drag and drop an image.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do these bullet points all make sense?&nbsp;&nbsp;Yeah, that should be fine.&nbsp;&nbsp;Coffee coffee coffee, why isn&rsquo;t there more coffee?<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey, babe.&nbsp;&nbsp;Doing alright?&rdquo;<br /><br />Teddy barely registered the voice of his roommate.&nbsp;&nbsp;They were just roommates.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just that.&nbsp;&nbsp;As far as anyone back home needed to know, or indeed anyone in class.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Just wrapping up this presentation for my marketing seminar,&rdquo;
