Ralf was somewhat scrawny and didn't tend to get the best of grades, but he considered himself a pretty intelligent raccoon, so when the humanities professor went off on yet another tangent about Plato's Cave, he couldn't help but zone out. No duh it represented that there's underlying stuff we don't know about - it was nothing he hadn't heard a dozen times and figured out the very first time.

As had so often happened in the past few months, his thoughts strayed back to that day he'd snuck into the wrong locker room for some pictures ... and ended up getting so much more. Sadly, it had never happened again, not with any of those girls, but it didn't stop him from fantasizing. His photography habit had slowed and shifted to more above-board subjects to take pictures of, but that didn't really have anything to do with that day in the locker room, he was pretty sure. Probably, it was just because of the new batch of webcomic series he'd discovered and been addicted to lately: Tokiri Land.

What had happened to him in that locker room would have fit right into the kinds of things that happened in the Tokiri Land comics. And somehow, that almost made him feel like he actually was a part of it. Which series would he want to be in most? Maybe the Desert Island series, with all those bikinis and topless native girls? Oh, but what about the Sex Ed series? Everything seemed to be fair game there, and the teacher was such a milf. Or maybe ... if he could take the place of the witch's familiar in the Enchantment series as the witch went around making everyone fall in love with each other whenever she felt like it...

He felt a tightening in his shorts. Oh no! Hastily, he covered his crotch with a strategically-placed hand and glanced around, hoping nobody had noticed.

Thankfully, everyone else seemed to be just as zoned-out as he was. Nobody was looking at him. Still, he figured he should probably find some way to distract himself from thinking about Tokiri Land. These shorts were pretty thin, and it would be really easy for the other students to see if they looked. To save himself the embarrassment, he had to find something else to focus on, something less sexy.

His eyes searched around the classroom, but instead of focusing on the window, the cluttered dry-erase board, or even the professor - who definitely would have killed his incoming boner - he found himself staring at the bunny sitting ahead and to the left of his desk.

It was only natural that his eyes would want to end up there. Her golden-furred legs were really nice, and though the back of her chair blocked most of his view, he could still appreciate the curves hidden by her shorts. A red bra strap had escaped from underneath the thicker strap of her blue tank top, and it kept drawing his eyes, making him wonder what the rest of it looked like. What was her name again...? Lacey, he was pretty sure. The way she was twiddling one finger through her blonde hair as her other hand worked the tablet in front of her was surprisingly alluring...

And there it was, full-on boner. Damn it. He had to focus on something else! What about that tablet - what was she doing on it? Maybe that would be a good distraction.

She had some kind of art program on it, and she was drawing with her finger. Putting the finishing touches on comic page. That was... It looked a lot like Tokiri's work, actually. If he didn't know better, it could have been right out of the Enchantment series! What the yiff? Was she copying his style? That was really rude!

As he watched, she saved the file and then uploaded it somewhere.

Ding. His phone beeped. He took it out to see what had come in.

It was a Patreon update from Tokiri, and... No. No way! It was the same thing he'd just seen Lacey making!

Is she ... Tokiri? Tokiri was a girl? Ralf blinked, his eyes going unfocused as his brain rapidly reorganized everything he knew about his favorite artist. This changed ... a lot, actually. And, and... She was sitting right in front of him! Right there! His jaw dropped. This was--

"Thank you, that will be all for today. Remember, your papers are due Thursday - see me in my office if you're having any trouble with your thesis statements."

No matter how distracted, no college student would ever miss words like that coming from the professor. Everyone packed up their stuff in what seemed like just an instant; Ralf barely kept up with them in time to not be the last one out of the door. Thankfully, everyone seemed too busy to notice him hastily tucking a certain something into his waistband.

Lacey was far ahead of him by the time he made it into the hall, already almost around the corner, but he rushed to catch up to her, almost breaking out into a run. The only thing that kept him from running was that he didn't want to cause a scene - if he did, all the students he was passing in the hall would wonder why he was in such a hurry.

He did manage to catch up to Lacey, but when he did, he was kind of winded and could only manage a lame, "Oh, um, hey."

"Oh, hi." She glanced over at him, but didn't stop walking. "What was your name again?"

"Um, Ralf." He laughed a little, for some stupid reason.

"Oh yeah. Okay."

Keeping up with her as she walked, he mentally kicked himself. Why did he have to be so bad at this? He knew he sounded so stupid, but what could somebody say in a situation like this? He had no idea, so he just went with what he had. "Hey, um... This might sound really weird, but are you Tokiri?"

She stopped walking. Suddenly, she was paying full attention to him, except for a quick glance around to see if anybody else was listening to them. "Are you a fan or something? How did you find out who I am? I'm really careful online. How'd you get my personal info?"

"No, no... I just saw you working on that latest piece just now. And wow! It looks really amazing!"

"Oh?" That changed her demeanor entirely. She looked away for a moment, nearly blushing. "You think so? It's not really that good." She twirled her finger in her hair again, just like she had while drawing.

"Are you kidding? Everything you do is amazing! I'm WashbearPics69, by the way - I'm even supporting you on Patreon!"

She smiled. "Aw, thanks!"

The hallway was beginning to clear out, and standing here with her was starting to feel a little awkward, so he shuffled a couple steps away backward. "So, um, yeah... It's really cool to meet you in person. I really love your work."

Just as he turned to leave, though, she reached out and caught his arm. "Hey," she said. "Want to see where I get my inspiration?"

Ralf's ears perked up. Was she going to show him some new webseries to follow or something? What could possibly be so awesome that it inspired an artist as amazing as Tokiri? He nodded eagerly.

"Great - meet me in the library. I have to stop by my car first."

He looked around, as if the hallway would help him figure out what was going on. "Right now? I kind of have a class I have to--"

"Trust me, it's worth missing a class for." She gave him a sly wink.

Wow... That must be a really good webseries! He shrugged, trying to play it off as nonchalant. "Okay... Pre-Calc is boring, anyway."
