Stick To Your Guns

  It's amazing how things can change in just a few hours. Somehow I went from Frustrated Princess to a very perplexed damsel as my knight seemed to be more of a dragon of sorts. Instead of a shiny white horse and Excalibur at his side he brought along Sleeping with Sirens and an array of attractive body piercings. I am not very picky when it comes to how my knights and pages look, but I will admit that I am heavily attracted to the /rebel/ look, not personality of course, but the general, pierced ears,lips and anything else they think its a good idea to plug with holes.  Just as the same as before we're going to refer to this particular vigilante knight as Deku, as I like to call him because of his actual namesake.
 
   Deku calls himself a trouble maker and I would tend to agree. He's a high school drop out but is only seventeen and back in class to try and get his GED. Unlike most hole filled seventeen year old boys, Deku is pleasant and doesn't seem to have to make a joke about a penis to be humorous. He walks around with his skateboard and barely focus's on what the teacher says but at this point I don't think anyone has been doing that so I don't hold to much against him for it. It is math after-all.  What drew me to him was that at first I was very wary of him, I've seen his slack short skateboard toting ass before on other not so charming males. The thing was, despite his bored expressions during class and obvious lack luster attention to the booklet in front of him he didn't act like a complete social leper. I am very use to my advances toward anyone, friendly, or flirty going very, unreceived. At the point of my introduction to him I didn't say or do anything that would remind someone of flirting of course, it was more of a conversation opener. I asked him if he knew about the band Sleeping with Sirens, one of my favorite punk bands. He replied back in the note I had sent that he'd just been listening to them. Then it was as if the door had opened to a very interesting development.

 After a few note tosses back and forth I found myself overwhelmed by his exceptionally dorky response in which he wrote down lyrics that happen to contain my name. Those lyrics belonging to the song Amber by Stick To Your Guns. Now I have heard this song only once before and quite forgot it existed. So you can be certain I was quite flattered and confused for several minutes after reading what he'd scribbled down. He said he'd just been listening to it for a few minutes earlier but the fact that he knew my name was related to the song made me very suspicious he wrote it down on purpose. Whether or not he did isn't entirely the point as it was still  adorably charming.  Now before you all go off the rails and tell me to be careful of the peirced dragon that had curled his way around my defenses I will say I am not letting him get to me that easily. I know his type, and I know there is a very good chance that he's probably selling weed on the side and doing his best to be the laziest person around. However I am giving him the benefit of the doubt that he's at least trying to better himself. Unlike half the students in the class with us he's one of the few who doesn't brag about getting high, admittedly he did admit to getting into bars because he looks so much older then he is, but again, I am sort of on the fence about what I think about that, seeing as again he didn't stay on the subject long and sort of rolled back into some other subject.

So we'll see how this continues. I never really thought about it, but maybe the dragon that guards the tower isn't evil at all, it's simply just like every other knight that comes trotting by, only it isn't necessarily handsome, and doesn't speak of fake virtue. It is raw, and never noticed.
