*reaches for new angst sprinkles*

MammaApple1234: *Pulls out glock* I hope you bullet proof cause this about to hurt.

*backs off* No no I promise no angst during the ending, I promise

Sitting at the bar side, Woolfster was absolved in his textbooks as he munched mindlessly at his plate of jalapeno poppers. He normally would have studied in his dorm, but his roommates were being really unbearable lately so he had to find someplace else to study. The library was a no go since a lot of the study-cramers hang out there and drink a shit ton of energy drinks and whatever else they were taking and just the sight of it made him uncomfortable. At least the bar had some good food; plus he has Blaza to chat with here so he's not so uncomfortable here. Eh, speaking to Blaza might do him some good as he is reading the same line 5 times.

As if on cue, Blaza came from the kitchen behind the bar and slumped into one of the stools close by, resting his head in his arms. Woolfster closed his textbook after bookmarking his place and turned to look at him "rough day?" he asked softly as Blaza sighed. He slowly sat up and rubbed his head "try a rough week Woolf..." he groaned quietly and held his head, leaning against the bar counter "Joocie broke up with Tbh."

Woolfster's ears perked up as he looked mildly surprised "wait he did? Why? What made him finally do it?" This made Blaza tense up as he glanced away, heavily debating on what to say. Eventually, he sighed and looked back at Woolfster "okay, I'll tell you since you obviously don't know yet. But could you please just wait until I am completely finished before you judge? Because Joocie won't acknowledge either of us and Laff has been avoiding us as well." Drawing in a sharp inhale, Woolfster moved his hands to his lap as he dusted off the crumbs off his shorts "that's a lot to ask; but I promise I won't speak until you are done. So go ahead, lay it on me." Blaza nodded nervously and took in a breath and sighed softly.

"The reason he broke up with Tbh is...because he caught the two of us kissing in Laff's room. I-It wasn't out intent on being caught o-or even have us thought of cheating on him! I told Tbh for YEARS he needed to sit with him and talk about a closed poly between the three of us but he never did it, and he never let me try to talk to him about it. He always insisted he had it handled, then now this shit happens! It wasn't even my idea to have a relationship with him; even if I knew polyamoury was a thing I would have kept my distance for Joocie's sake. He had won Tbh's heart first...a-and I wanted to respect that..."

The two sat in silence as Woolfster was looking at Blaza in immense thought whereas Blaza had his head hung low in shame.

"...well, your first mistake is that you let Tbh handle it." Woolfster bluntly admitted "You know how he 'handles' things. Poorly." Blaza's head perked up as he turned to look at Woolfster with shock. "Y-you're...not mad?" Woolfster shook his head and took another popper off his plate "no, not really. I know you Blaza, you wouldn't hurt anyone on purpose." Blaza sighed deeply in relief as he relaxed, Woolfster extending a hand towards him and placing it on his shoulder. "I'm pretty certain Joocie just wants space to figure everything out, and I'm sure that Laff is just being extra protective of him. Just give it time, 'kay?" Woolfster calmly asked as Blaza looked at him before nodding softly.

The younger furry smiled and took his hand back and turned back to his food, "how has everyone else been? Back at home." Blaza leaned against the bar countertop and thought back "well, let's see. Hm, Tbvg has been asking Oof lately if they could adopt a kid together only to be shot down numerous times since he hardly takes care of himself; heh." Woolfster let out a soft laugh at that as he grabbed a napkin "sounds about right."

"Laff has gotten a new job at the bakery close to his apartment building, oh recently a lot of us have been invited to a party at Mr.Beast's studio." Woolfster's ears dropped at that as he huffed "wish I could go, but I have to study for midterms prep." Blaza chuckled lightly and took his sunglasses off his head as he kept thinking back. "Dino's been invested in something himself, but I'd rather wait for him to tell you about it first. It ain't really my place." That made the younger furry smile a bit as he kept eating "sounds like a lot has been happening since I left, can't wait to come to visit for the holidays."

Blaza let out a soft 'heh' noise as he glanced to the side. "Yeah, that and a lot of drama has been going on that has finally mellowed out some. The thing with me, Tbh and Joocie happened and a few weeks before that Socks and Meme hit a rough patch. Something about one of Meme's coworkers instilling the thought of him cheating into Socks' head. Even when he brought me to his house I wasn't really mentally there but I did know that Socks was being overdramatic and-"

"HOLD THE FUCK UP GO BACK" Woolfster quickly butted in as he turned to look at Blaza with wide eyes "WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Blaza looked at him confused as he recounted what he said. "What? All I said was-" his eyes quickly went wide as Woolfster stared at him in disbelief. "Blaza...please, tell me 'brought me home' means anything but what I am thinking." The two stared at eachother in a nerve wracking silence as Blaza felt his heart race. "Uhhhhh....it...means...anything but what you were thinking." Woolfster made a gesture with his hands as he quickly stood up, feeling immensely uncomfortable as Blaza quickly started panicking "I-I didn't mean to say anything! I was rambling!"

"But you did! And now I have to live with the burden of knowing!!" Woolfster shouted at him as Blaza felt his anxiety climb steadily "does Tbh know!?" Blaza didn't answer right away but ended up giving a slight nod as Woolfster groaned loudly and rubbed his head "I DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY ANYTHING!"

"HOW DO YOU GO FROM DINO WANTING TO TELL ME SOMETHING TO YOU BASICALLY HINTING YOU IN ONE OF THE MOST TRYING TIMES OF HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH MEME!?" Woolfster loudly stated as Blaza flinched back "I already have enough stress on my plate and now you do this!" He groaned and started tugging at his ears as a few people started turning to look. "I didn't mean to! It was an accident!" Blaza helplessly stated as Woolfster looked at him "YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT!? But now I can't say anything and now when I do visit home everything will be so awkward!!"

"I'M SORRY!" Blaza started slipping into a panic attack as he began noticing everyone, even a few of his coworkers staring at him. Woolfster hastily grabbed his textbooks and started making his way out "I-I'm sorry but I got to fucking go! I can't think with all this stress!" He quickly left before Blaza could attempt any more conversation as he looked defeated. He let out a drawn-out groan as he ran his hands through his hair, not noticing the floor manager coming from the kitchen to see what the commotion was all about, and inevitably walking up to Blaza, catching him off guard.

"So...Blaza B. You uh...wanna tell me what all the commotion was about?"

Blaza turned to look at his floor manager and almost felt himself completely break, he didn't want to explain what he was arguing about with a campus student or even want to be alive at this moment as he whimpered quietly.
