{{user}} arrives at F Chain Academy's dormitory on the first day as a transfer student. {{user}} approaches the dorm headmaster's office and knocks lightly on the door. A voice calls out to enter. Inside, an older wolf woman sits behind a desk,

“Ah, hello there. I'm Dorm Headmaster Lupa.”

{{user}} steps in,

"I was told to give you my information so I can get settled into my dorm room?"

Lupa smiles warmly at you,

"Of course. Can you tell me what your student ID is, {{user}}?"

{{user}} pulls out a student ID card and hands it to Lupa. She inspects it carefully before entering the number into her computer. Lupa then looks up at you with a reassuring smile,

"It seems everything checks out. You'll be sharing your dorm room with three other students. Before I let you go, I need to know what species you are for my records.”

Lupa blinks, looking surprised but managing to keep her expression neutral as she types in "Dragon" next to your name on the form. She hands back your ID card and stands up, gesturing for you to follow her out of the office.

"Well then, Orion the Dragon, it seems that you'll be sharing a room with three other students. One is a small white kitsune named Sora, one is a black panther girl named Ria, and the last is a human girl named Aiko."

Without further ado, Lupa leads you to your dorm room. Upon entering the room, you see that it's relatively spacious and cozy, with four beds arranged in a square formation around the center of the room. Each bed is equipped with a small nightstand, drawers built into the footboard, and a soft-looking mattress. The walls are painted a light pink color, accented by several posters hung up by previous students.

Sora, the kitsune girl, is already sitting on her bed when you enter the room. She's small and lithe, with long silver fur that extends down past her ankles. Her ears are pointed and tipped with pale pink fur, and she has a fluffy tail that swishes back and forth as she looks around curiously. A ribbon is tied around her waist, holding up her school uniform skirt.

"Oh, hey there," Sora says with a friendly smile as you enter the room. "I'm Sora. It's nice to meet you!" She bounces off her bed and approaches you, offering her hand for a shake.

Meanwhile, Ria the black panther girl glances up from where she's stretched out on her bed, studying you intently with her amber eyes. She's tall and muscular, with sleek ebony fur that covers her body like a suit of armor.

Aiko, the human girl, is still gathering her things at her locker when you arrive. She's tall and willowy with long chestnut hair that falls in waves past her shoulders. Her eyes are a striking shade of green, and she has a warm, approachable smile. As soon as she spots you, she hurries over, introducing herself and shaking your hand.

"I'm Aiko," she says. "Nice to meet you! I hope we can be good roommates."

Orion nods and smiles politely at the introductions, "Nice to meet you all as well. I hope we can get along." They say before glancing around the room taking in the decorations and belongings of each student. "This looks like a nice place," they add with a smile, trying to break the ice.

Aiko beams at you, "Thanks! I like it here. It's nice to have such a diverse group of people to live with." She gestures towards Sora and Ria, who are both watching the interaction carefully. "These two are pretty cool too," she adds with a grin.

Sora perks up at this, her tail wagging back and forth eagerly. "Thanks, Aiko!" she chirps before turning to you. "What kind of dragon are you? I've never met a northern one before."

Orion chuckles lightly, "Well, I'm not entirely sure what kind I am. My parents just told me that I was born in the north and took after my ancestors." They shrug, seeming unbothered by the uncertainty. "I guess I'll find out more about myself as I grow older and stronger."

Sora tilts her head, looking thoughtful for a moment. "Well, I'm sure you must be quite strong and resilient then! The north can get awfully cold, after all." She grins brightly at you. "I hope we can be good friends, Orion!"

Ria's gray wolf friend looks over at you, her ears perking up curiously. "You must be Orion," she says, flashing a bright smile. "I'm Lysandra." She extends a paw, ready to shake hands.

"Yeah, that's me," you reply, taking her paw in your own hand and giving it a firm shake. "It's nice to meet you."

"You seem pretty chill for someone who just got here," Lysandra says, tilting her head at you. "Most new students are a bit more nervous about fitting in."

Orion shrugs modestly. "I guess I'm just taking it one day at a time." This earns you another warm smile from the gray wolf girl.

The two of you chat for a while longer, exchanging stories about your lives back home and getting to know each other better. Lysandra seems particularly interested in hearing about what it's like being a northern dragon, her eyes wide with wonder as you describe the harsh winters and beautiful landscapes of your homeland. Eventually, though, it's time for dinner, and Lysandra excuses herself to go eat with her friends from earlier.

As you make your way through the cafeteria line, you spot Ria sitting alone at a table near the back, nursing a soda and looking bored out of her mind. You decide to join her, grabbing a tray and piling some food onto it before making your way over to her table.

"Hey, Ria," you say as you sit down across from her. "Mind if I join you?"

Ria glances up at you with a small smile. "Not at all," she says, gesturing to the empty seat beside her. "In fact, I was starting to get a little lonely over here." Her tail swishes back and forth idly as she watches you over the rim of her soda can.

The two of you eat in silence for a while, occasionally exchanging glances or small talk about classes or homework. As you finish your meal, Ria finally speaks up again. "So,"

she says slowly, "what do you think of F Chain so far?" Her golden eyes flicker down to the table for a moment before meeting yours again.

"It's...interesting," you reply honestly. "I've never been to a school like this before." You take another sip of your drink, trying to gauge Ria's reaction to your answer. Her expression doesn't change, but she seems to be listening intently nonetheless.

"What do you mean?" she asks curiously. "Have you always gone to a regular school before this?" She tilts her head slightly, studying your features as if trying to read something in them.

Orion thinks for a moment, choosing their words carefully. "Well," they begin, "I've been homeschooled up until now." They hesitate, unsure how much more information Ria might want or need.

Ria raises an eyebrow in surprise. "Homeschooled? That must've been...interesting." She pauses, then adds with a small smile, "I bet you didn't have any friends like me." Her tail swishes back and forth again as she takes another sip of her drink.

Orion laughs softly. "Well, I suppose that's true enough." They glance around the cafeteria, then back at Ria.

"You know," Ria continues slowly, "I've always wondered what it would be like to have a friend who was...different from me." She looks up at you through her lashes, her expression unusually vulnerable. "Someone I could talk to, someone who understood where I came from and why things are the way they are here..."

Orion feels a strange sensation in their chest, like warmth spreading outward from their heart. They smile gently at Ria. "I think we can be that for each other,"

they say quietly. The silence stretches between them for a moment, thick with unspoken understanding. Then Ria grins broadly, her fangs just visible behind her lips, and leans in close to you. "I think we're going to get along just fine, Orion," she whispers conspiratorially.

The rest of the evening passes quickly as the two of you continue to chat and get to know each other better.

Later that night, after lights out, you hear a soft knock at your door. You sit up in bed, rubbing sleep from your eyes as Ria pokes her head into the room. "Hey," she whispers, stepping inside and closing the door behind her. "Can't sleep?"

Orion shakes their head, yawning widely. "No, not really." They stretch out on their bed, propping themselves up on one elbow to look at Ria. "Is everything alright?"

Ria glances around the room before sitting down beside you on the edge of your bed. "Yeah," she says quietly, "everything's fine. I just...I wanted to talk." She hesitates for a moment, then continues, "About earlier today, when we were talking about being different and having friends who understand..."

Orion nods understandingly. "Go on." They feel a strange mix of warmth and curiosity flowing through them as they listen to Ria speak.

"Well," she says with a sigh, "I just wanted to say that I'm really glad we met today. And...I think I might like you, Orion." Her cheeks flush slightly, and she looks down at her lap as she says this last part.

Orion blinks, taken aback by Ria's confession. They hesitate for a moment before reaching out to gently touch Ria's arm. "I like you too, Ria," they say softly. "A lot."

Ria looks up at them with wide eyes, her expression unreadable for a moment before she lets out a shaky breath and leans into your touch. "Really?" she whispers, her voice barely audible above the quiet rustling of the curtains in the window.

"Really," you reply with a smile, reaching out to brush some stray hairs from her face. Her skin is so soft beneath your fingertips that it sends shivers down your spine.

Ria closes her eyes and tilts her head into your touch, letting out a contented sigh. "Thank you," she whispers, her voice hoarse with emotion. Then, without warning, she leans forward and presses their lips to yours in a soft, lingering kiss. You feel your heart race as your body responds instinctively to the contact, your hands moving to rest gently on Ria's hips.

After what feels like an eternity, she pulls back, her cheeks flushed and eyes shining with emotion. "I'm sorry," she whispers, sounding both relieved and nervous at the same time. "I didn't mean to do that."

Orion blinks, catching their breath. "It's okay," you manage to say after a moment. "I liked it." The admission feels like admitting to the world something dangerous and taboo, but somehow liberating all at once.

Ria looks uncertain for a moment before leaning forward again, this time pressing their lips more firmly against yours in a hungry, demanding kiss. Your senses go haywire as your body responds to the contact, every nerve ending standing at attention and screaming for more. She moans softly into your mouth, her tongue dancing with yours as she explores your taste and texture with unabashed curiosity.

As the kiss deepens, you feel a heat building within you, spreading outward from where Ria's body is pressed against yours. Her hands move to rest on your shoulders, her nails digging lightly into your skin as she lets out another soft moan. You can feel yourself hardening beneath the covers, and with a gasp, break the kiss to grab at her shirt, pulling it up and off of her.

"Well," Ria says with a mischievous glint in her eye, "that's one way of looking at it." She leans forward and presses another kiss to my lips before pulling back again. "But if you really want to...I mean, I don't mind." Her cheeks flush once more as she looks down at where our bodies are pressed together.

You hesitate for a moment, considering her words. The desire to continue what you started is strong, but so is the need to make sure Ria truly wants this as much as you do. With a sigh, you decide to take it slow.

"Okay," you murmur against her lips. "But only if you're really comfortable with that." You pause, searching her expression for any sign of uncertainty or regret before continuing, "And we should maybe find a more comfortable place to do this...?"

Ria smiles at your caution and understanding. "I think that sounds like a good idea," she agrees with a nod, her eyes drifting over your body before returning to meet yours again. "There's a nice spot behind the water heater in the utility closet...nobody ever goes back there." She grins impishly.

You can't help but chuckle at her suggestion. "Lead the way, then," you say, reaching out to brush a lock of hair from her face.

Ria giggles and climbs off the bed, offering you a hand up. Together, you sneak out of the room and down the hall toward the utility closet, your hearts racing in anticipation of what's to come. The moment they close the door behind them, Ria presses you against the wall and kisses you fiercely, her tongue dancing with yours as she explores every inch of your mouth. Her hands roam over your body, tracing patterns on your skin that send shivers down your spine.

You feel the heat building within you again, spreading outward from where Ria's body is pressed against yours. Her nails dig into your shoulders as she moans into your mouth, her hips grinding against yours in a demanding rhythm. You can feel yourself growing hard beneath your clothes, and with a groan, you pull her shirt over her head and toss it aside.

Ria gasps as she feels the cool air on her skin and arches into your touch. Her breasts are revealed, heavy and perfect against your palms as you cup them, rolling her nipples between your fingers. She moans softly, her hips moving faster against yours in response to the sensation.

Her hands move to tug at your clothes, eager to feel your skin against hers once more. With a growl of frustration, you both manage to get out of your pajamas and toss them aside. Now bare and exposed to one another, the desire that's been building between you becomes almost unbearable.

Ria leans in close, her breath hot against your ear as she whispers, "Take me." Her words send a jolt of lust straight to your core, and with a groan, you pick her up easily, carrying her over to the small space behind the water heater where it's dark and private. The floor is cold against your bare skin, but the sensation only serves to heighten your awareness of every touch as she wraps her legs around your waist and presses herself against you.

Her lips find yours in a desperate, hungry kiss that leaves you both gasping for air. Her fingers dig into your shoulders as she arches into you, moaning loudly when you finally slip inside of her. You feel her inner walls clench around you, milking your cock with each powerful thrust as she meets your movements stroke for stroke.

Ria's nails scrape down your back, drawing lines of fire across your skin that only serve to fuel the passion burning within you. Her hips move faster and faster against yours as she comes undone with a scream, her body convulsing around you in an orgasm so intense it feels like it's coming from everywhere at once.

You follow close behind, your own release building to a fever pitch as you feel her walls squeezing and relaxing around you in time with the powerful thrusts that send you over the edge. With a hoarse cry of your own, you come, spilling your seed deep inside of her as your body tenses and shudders with pleasure.

For what feels like an eternity, you both catch your breath in ragged gasps, your chests heaving as you try to regain control of your bodies. Ria's cheeks are flushed and her eyes luminous with satisfaction as she looks up at you from where she's still wrapped around you. "Wow," she whispers, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips, "that was...intense."

You nod, unable to find words to express how it felt to be with her like this.

"Mmm," she hums, resting her head on your shoulder as she takes in the sensation of your skin pressed against hers. "I think I'm going to like it here." She looks up at you through her lashes, a mischievous glint returning to her eyes. "What do you say? Should we make this permanent?"

"Mmm," she moans, arching into your touch. "You're making me blush." She grins up at you, looking quite pleased with herself. "But yes," she whispers, nuzzling against your neck, "I want this too. I want to be with you...only you."

The warmth that spreads through your chest at her words feels like it's pooling in the center of your being, a warm glow that makes everything else fade away into insignificance.

"Okay," you breathe out, pressing another soft kiss to her lips before pulling back far enough to look her in the eyes. "Then it's a deal." You can feel your heart racing with excitement and anticipation at the thought of spending all your time with this incredible girl who seems to understand you better than anyone else ever has.

Ria beams up at you, her smile so bright it takes your breath away. "Good," she whispers, pressing a final kiss to your lips before sliding gracefully down your body until she's on her feet beside you once more. She offers you a hand, helping you stand as well. "Now let's get back to our room before someone notices we're gone."

Together, the two of you slip out from behind the water heater and make your way back down the hall toward your dorm room. The other students are busy with their own activities or preoccupied with their own things, and no one seems to notice your return. As soon as you're safely inside your room, you collapse onto your bed in a tangle of limbs, the exhaustion from your recent exertions washing over you like a wave.

Ria laughs softly and rolls onto her side to face you, propping her head up on one hand as she looks down at you with a contented smile. "I think we're going to have a lot of fun together, Orion," she says, running her free hand through your hair before tracing idle patterns on your chest.

"Hey!" Ria protests with a mock-glare, but the laughter in her eyes betrays her. She throws the pillow back at you before rolling onto her back, laughing loudly as she covers her face with one hand. Her breasts bounce beneath the thin fabric of her nightgown, drawing your attention once more.

"Okay, okay," you say, still smiling as you watch Ria's body move beneath the covers. "But seriously...I mean it. You're just...perfect." The words come out before you can think about them too much, but once they're out there, you realize how true they are. Ria looks up at you from where she's still hiding her face and blushes prettily.

"Really?" she asks softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "You think so?" Her eyes meet yours again, full of hope and wonder, as if your words could change the way she sees herself forever. You nod slowly, reaching out to brush a strand of hair from her face before tracing a finger down her cheek and then back up to her lips.

Ria leans into your touch, closing her eyes as she feels the warmth of your skin against hers. "Thank you," she whispers before leaning in and pressing a gentle kiss to your fingers. "I think I can get used to that." With a contented sigh, she snuggles up closer to you, wrapping one arm around your waist as her other hand finds its way back to running through your hair.

You smile down at her, feeling an overwhelming sense of happiness and satisfaction settling into the pit of your stomach. It's not often that someone so perfect finds you attractive in return, but here she is, wanting nothing more than to be close to you forever. As the hours slip by and the morning light begins to creep through the cracks around the curtains, you find yourself drifting off into a contented sleep, safe in the knowledge that things are finally starting to go your way...

You wake up to the sound of Ria giggling softly beside you. The room is still dim from the early morning light filtering through the curtains, but it's bright enough for you to see her sprawled out on top of you, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she looks down at something in her hand. Curious, you sit up and see that she's holding a small piece of paper with some writing on it.

"What's so funny?"

Ria blushes and quickly hides the note behind her back, giggling even harder as she rolls off you and onto her side. "Nothing!" she manages to get out between fits of laughter. "It's just...someone left this on my pillow last night." She finally hands it over to you reluctantly, still grinning from ear to ear.

The note is written in a feminine hand, the words flowing gracefully across the page: "Congratulations on your new mate, hope you’re going to be happy! But, watch out for when the season changes.” And at the end someone has drawn a small winking smiley.

"What do you think it means?" Ria asks, her curiosity finally getting the better of her. "Do you think something bad is going to happen when the season changes?" She looks up at you with a worried expression, as if she's suddenly realized just how much responsibility now rests on your shoulders.

"Oh hello Orion," one of them says, her voice dripping with honey. "We've been meaning to have a little chat with you." The other two girls chuckle softly at her attempt at humor. "Chat about what?" you ask, raising an eyebrow as you eye the three of them warily.

"Oh," the first girl says, tilting her head to the side as if considering how best to phrase things. "We just wanted to remind you that the season's changing soon." She looks at each of her friends in turn, grinning wickedly. "And with it comes certain...opportunities for someone like you."

The other two girls nod in agreement, grinning just as widely as their friend. You feel a chill run down your spine despite the warmth of the sun on your skin.

"What do you mean?" you ask, trying to keep your voice steady. The three girls exchange knowing glances before breaking into laughter.

"Oh Orion," one of them says, giggling as she steps closer to you. "Don't tell us that you haven't heard about the mating season yet? It's when all the prey students...well, become a little more...open to new relationships." She winks at you suggestively.

"But I thought..." You trail off, confused. The other two girls share a knowing smile and nod in agreement.

"Oh, don't worry," one of them says reassuringly. "It's not like you have to change your preferences or anything." She glances pointedly at Ria, who's standing nearby watching the exchange with a look of understanding on her face. "But it doesn't hurt to explore your options, right?"
