Firestone Hot Springs lotus eater

he felt weird.

he'd felt weird ever since he came back to the Teekons. Puck was either too stupid to realize he was a victim of the season or that he failed to even have 'the talk' with his parentals when he left. Pa was somewhere, stooling in his own misery. Ma was dead so that didn't help. he'd been too young for 'the talk' anyway at the time. it felt like fire ants were crawling on him, biting him but not harming him. just general discomfort. 

he didn't want to impose on anyone if he knew he was in heat. right now all he wanted to do was find some water to roll around in. get the proverbial ants off his back. but this place smelt gross, and he wasn't going to take a dip in boiling water. Puck sighed, testing the waters himself. it wasn't that hot but he had wanted a nice cooling dip. oh well. lifting his eyes from the liquid, he'd spot another in the near distance. female. inside, his organs did a flip. strange. why was he excited to see a girl? 

"hi!" he'd bark out, hoping to catch her attention.
