Sam and Sharron had exploded his voicemail, messages and MuzzleBook,\nwhile mom and dad remained oddly silent. So Sean set his phone to a do not\ndisturb mode, called his boss and headed to a meeting with Amy and Vivian, they\nhad contacted Mr. Franks via e-mail about the debate as soon as they could. Sean\nparked and headed into Channel Five.Vivian bounced with what Sean realized was just her\nbaseline disposition.\"How are you Vivian?\" He said.\"Oh Sean! It's good to see you, but there's a\nsnaffoo, well Amy can explain better,\" Vivian said her sapphire eyes smiled\nat him.\"So she'll be here in a second?\" Sean asked.\"Yes, oh yes, just moments, I was the one that got\nworried after I looked into his background,\" Vivian said while rocking on\nher long feet.\"Wait him who?\" Sean asked.\"Mr. Hastles, he says he will only do the debate if\nit's face to face,\" Vivian said as Amy joined them in the conference room.\"I just got off the phone with him, that man is\n \nopprobrious,\" Amy said, \"Morning Sean.\"\"Well that's a five, no a ten dollar word,\"\nVivian said.\"Morning Amy, what's going on this is that Bu Bucks\nBreed guy right?\" Sean asked.\"Well yes but he is former Pack too,\" Amy said.\"I think there is a story here but we need to talk\nto you first,\" Vivian said.\"Ok, so what's the big deal with this Hastles\nguy?\" Sean asked.\"Well, he is only willing to do the debate in person\nand demands his former student be there,\" Amy said.\"Former student? Was he a professor? I don't know\nthat name,\" Sean said.\"So then you wouldn't mind, good, George said this\nnext week will work,\" Amy said, \"but the guy is cold.\"\"Wait George, Uncle George?!\" Sean snapped.\"Yes his name is George, I knew there was a story\nhere,\" Vivian said falling still.\"How do you not recognize your uncle's last\nname?\" Amy asked.\"He isn't my uncle he just has everyone call him\nthat,\" Sean snapped.Amy said, \"Well, he only worked on three projects of\nnote, the conservation of unnecessary waste, a camp for delinquent youths\n \nand-\"\"We weren't delinquents, why won't that tick just\ndie already!\" Sean snapped.Both reporters had interested glances for each other than\nmasked their muzzles but they couldn't hide their change in posture.\"So you went to his camp but you weren't a\ndelinquent?\" Amy asked.\"None of us were, well statistically probably some\nof us have to be, but it was a camp for parents to try and change their\npups,\" Sean said.\"Like cubscouts or weight loss?\" Vivian asked.\"No...\" Sean said, \"It was a purity\ncamp.\"\"Like a church camp?\" Amy asked.\"I thought it might be something like that but I\nassumed you'd dislike his group that's for 'food' species more,\" Vivian said,\n\"sounds like this guy gets all your negative buttons.\"\"So it's this camp that you hate?\" Amy asked,\nthen said, \"We couldn't find much on it. He leads two organizations one\nworking to limit predator birthrates and return prey to being food species, the\nmotto is the natural life as nature intended.\"\"Are you kidding me?!\" Sean said, \"How is\nhe a spokesperson for anything, let alone such an organization gaining\n \ntraction.\"\"Unnecessary Waste and Back to Natures Calling, both\nare growing in popularity and momentum,\" Amy said, \"But I don't know\nthis camp they haven't been mentioned in his social media and advocacy\npresence.\"\"Probably because it had to go underground after a\nfew altercations and other issues,\" Sean said.\"Fights at a church camp?\" Amy asked\"It's a pack behavioral training camp that was it,\nright?\" Vivian asked Sean.\"I don't know if it was Pack but basically... 'If\nyou can't be straight, don't sin, we'll show you how not to my boy,'\" Sean\nsaid in a quavering voice.\"So you won't do a debate with him?\" Amy asked,\n\"Cause it sounds like there's quite the story there, possibly\nseveral.\"\"Fuck him and his story, I won't!\" Sean said\nthen stood.\"Well without you we don't have you or him, and\nthat's half of the debate and likely most of the story,\" Vivian said.\"I... I can't... I have to go,\" Sean said then\nbee lined for the door. He felt cold all over but for the burning heat in the\nback of his throat.He felt a clawed paw on his shoulder and cringed away,\n \n\"Amy I'm allergic.\"\"Oh sorry,\" Amy said stepping back, \"just think\nabout it, and we'll see what options we can make.\"\"If that camp is what I think it was you could speak\nout about them and how you overcame it,\" Vivian said.Sean laughed bitterly, \"Yeah if only I had overcome\nit.\"\"I'll talk with Franks we can figure something out,\nyou're more important than Mr. Hastles for the debate anyway.\" Amy said.\"Thanks Amy, maybe someday I'll be braver,\" Sean\nsaid.Then he left, without further argument.Sean didn't want to deal with his boss, so he walked\nthrough the sculpture garden not far from the station, while he thought on\nVivian's words.\"How could I be an example, I barely know how to\nkeep my own shit together.\"In his cloudy metal reflection he thought he heard, \"you don't have it together, you can't\nlive under your own hatred how can you handle another's.\"\"A light to the world a city on a hill,\" he thought.\"A bird dying\nin a bramble of thorns,\" his reflection said.\"I haven't given up hope,\" Sean thought.\"Maybe you\n \nshould.\"He didn't want to be around strangers so he headed back\nto the car then drove to Oliver's.\"My meds should be working, I hope he's working from\nhome,\" Sean thought.\"Even if he is\nthese meds will fail, and isn't he just a substitute for what you can't\nhave.\"\"No, I want him for him, and I wanted Xander for Xander,\"\nSean thought.\"Well be\nhonest, you know you can't be with them, you're too damaged.\"\"I'm Xander's best friend, and... I can be with Oliver\nwith these meds,\" Sean thought as he parked.\"Really? best\nfriends is only half of what he wants,\" then the memory of Xander\nleaving yelling in his muzzle for playing games with his heart came to mind.\"I wasn't playing games, I wanted it to work, to\nwake up,\" Sean thought then walked in through the building garage.\"Oh so it was\na game, just one you lost, because you're broken. He just had to deal with the\nemotional manipulation.\"\"No, I didn't want to lead him on, I didn't know...\nand if I could I would be with him,\" Sean thought while he trudged stair\nafter stair.\"So that's why\n \nyou're rubbing someone else in his nose. Someone that if you forget a little\npill, you could die in your sleep from.\"Sean's paw froze about to knock at Oliver's door.\"I'm not... I care about them both,\" Sean thought\nthen knocked at the door.\"But you\nchoose the one you can have sex with.\"\"Shut up,\" Sean thought then knocked hard since\nOliver hadn't answered. Sean checked friend finder Oliver was at home or just\nhis phone was there, and Xander was over at Purrfection.\"You should\njust leave, you're fucking up everyone's lives.\"Sean knocked harder finally hearing a stirring from Oliver's\nplace.\"Who is it now?\" a grumpy Oliver asked through\nthe door.\"See you\nshould leave, he doesn't want you here.\"\"It's Sean, I think I should have taken that sick\nday, I was hoping to see you,\" he said.\"I was taking a nap it's was a busy night,\" Oliver\nsaid. The door jerked but caught on the deadbolt.\"It's locked...\" Sean said.\"To many just walked inside tonight,\" Oliver said,\n\"I thought a tall one might sneak away from Xander and get in bed with\n \nme.\" \"A tall one... you mean Neal?\" Sean asked while\nOliver opened the door.\"Yeah he was acting... adventurous, last night when Xander\ncame by looking for you,\" Oliver said.\"Why was Xander here... adventurous you mean he hit\non you?\" Sean asked then followed Oliver into the living room.\"If by hitting on you, you mean he offered to be my\nkitten for the evening and for me to spray him, then yes, yes he did,\" Oliver\nsaid then sat on the couch.\"Alpha damnit Neal!\" Sean said, \"He is a\nbit kinky and has a tiger fetish but that's not normal behavior for him.\"\"Yeah Xander seemed to be having a hard time\nwrangling him in,\" Oliver said, \"So what's going on?\"\"Well it's the debate for the campaign, the director\nof the camp I was sent to, is a participant and will only participate if it's\nface to face and I'm there,\" Sean said.\"...oh... so your feeling lame?\" Oliver asked.\"Yeah and I probably shouldn't have left the\nhospital... I just woke up and my dad was there,\" Sean said.\"I thought you and your dad were on good terms now?\n \nWell till I heard you hit him,\" Oliver said.\"Fuck you heard already... yeah he wanted me to stay\nand talk, I just wanted to get away from him, and blew up,\" Sean said,\n\"I dreamed about camp, and him sending me, and all this hatred and anger\nbubbled up.\"\"You can't hold on to the anger, it doesn't make\nthings better,\" Oliver said.\"But if you're\nnot angry you can't get hard... oh what would you do if you couldn't hurt\nthem.\"\"I don't know how too... healthily I mean,\" Sean\nsaid.\"I'm not saying you shouldn't be pissed about that\ncamp guy trying to make you talk to him face to face, but hitting your\ndad,\" Oliver said.\"It felt good for a second, then I felt\nterrible,\" Sean said. Oliver scooted closer on the couch, arms open, \"come\nhere.\"Sean flushed happily nuzzling into Oliver's side.\"He is here\nbut you're allergy will be a barrier forever and always.\"\"We will find a way,\" Sean thought.\"Have you even\nasked if he wants to find that way... no you haven't you don't know till you\ndo.\"\"Maybe we should slow down,\" Sean said.\"I prefer slow, I just want to talk and to hold\n \nyou,\" Oliver said.\"He shouldn't\nhold you, Xander is your Jonathan this is your Delilah.\"Sean moved to get out of Oliver's hug.\"What's wrong?\" Oliver asked.\"Don't you think you should be with someone\nelse?\" Sean asked.Oliver kept Sean in his arms, and blinked down in\nsurprise, \"No... Why would I think that or want that?\"\"Because... you said before you were worried about\ntouching me, of hurting me,\" Sean said and continued to shift, not wanting\nhim to let go or to be touched at the same time.\"Oh, well it seemed to hurt you more not to be with\nyou,\" Oliver said.\"But I'll just hurt you, I'm too fucked up,\" Sean\nsaid while he struggled with his feelings and Oliver's grasp.\"Finally you\nadmit the truth.\"\"No you're not and we won't know unless we\ntry,\" Oliver said, he let Sean go.Sean missed Oliver's arms immediately, but was relieved\nall at once.\"But should we try?\" Sean asked.As Sean moved to get away Oliver shifted to keep them\nclose.\"I have to try, we have to try, for ourselves, for each\nother,\" Oliver said.\"Why would you want someone that thinks horrible\n \nthings, and, and gets turned on by you know, hurting and taking virtue?\" Sean\nasked.\"Because you're more than what's happened to you... Sean\nplease, let me just hold you,\" Oliver said.\"I don't deserve it... I should go,\" Sean said.\"No please, you said my home was your home, and it's\nthe same for you!\" Oliver said, \"Stay, it'll be ok!\"\"You will just\ndefile each other, leave Sean!\"\"I shouldn't... I want to stay, but I shouldn't, why\ncan't it be ok,\" Sean said his throat burned and vision blurred.\"If it's done in love can it really be wrong?\" Oliver\nasked then leaned into kiss Sean.\"No... Stop I shouldn't,\" Sean said.\"You don't want it?\" Oliver said hovering\ninches from Sean's muzzle looking from eye to eye.Sean said, \"Yes, it's everything I want, but-\" Oliver kissed Sean.","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1115674-untouchable-chapter-44-solidarity-xander.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1118872-untouchable-chapter-46-rebounding-oliver.json"}
