Donny started the car and revved the engine a little and smiled at TJ.

"Sounds beautiful don't she?" he said with a grin.

TJ just laughed and nodded his head. He was still indecisive about telling Donny about his problem.

"I see you don't wanna tell me what's going on." Donny began. "That's totally cool though dude. I can dig it. I've got some stuff that needs to be said but I just don't want to tell anybody. So I know how you feel buddy. Just remember, I'm here for you whenever you need me." He looked at TJ and saw his eyes get glassy.

"Thanks dude." TJ choked out trying not mix all of the emotions he was feeling. He still liked Donny; that much was for certain, but he didn't think Donny was gay nor the type that takes lightly to homosexuals.

The two began to pull out of the parking lot as TJ looked out of the side window. His heart sank when he saw the Red Trans Am which contained a distraught looking tiger in the driver's seat. TJ didn't know what he'd do about what had happened earlier. He meant no harm by what he said, but Slater took it differently.

'I'll call him when I get home' TJ thought as he averted his eyes from the red coupe and looked at Donny.

"I'll tell you what's bugging me dude." TJ began. "But, you have to promise me you won't freak or anything."

Donny's ears perked up a little as TJ spoke. "Dude, you know I'm chill." He replied matter-of-factly. "Whatever you tell me isn't gonna change anything. You're you and that's all there is to it." He reassured TJ with a smile.

"Well, I'm gay." TJ said looking intently at the ottsel; waiting for his response.

"Good job." Donny said as he prepared to make a left turn. "I never thought you'd come out of the closet."

TJ furrowed his brow in confusion. "Is that a compliment or an insult?" he asked.

Donny chuckled and replied, "Always a compliment bro. I never diss anybody." He glanced over at TJ then looked back at the road. "So is that all that's bothering you?

TJ just shook his head. "No. It's this guy I like. I pissed him off this morning, but I don't know how I did it. I really didn't mean to and now he's all mad at me."

Donny raised an eyebrow at the steady jet stream of words that TJ had just said. "Sounds like he's upset dude. What'd you say to him?"

TJ rubbed the fur on his chin as he thought and said, "You know, I'm really not sure. I wasn't paying attention to what was going on until he got mad."

Donny looked at TJ and raised an eyebrow. "How can you be talking to the guy you like and not pay attention to him?" Donny chuckled then quickly corrected himself, "But I totally understand dude. That's happened with a few of the guys I liked too."

TJ's mouth opened a little as he snapped his head towards the ottsel as they approached the stoplight; the most confused look he could muster was on his face. "You're gay?!" he asked, shocked as ever.

Donny scoffed and shot a dirty look at TJ. "What? I can't like guys too now?" Despite the betrayal in his voice, he still gave a smile. "I've liked my fair share of guys too. I wouldn't label myself as anything, dude, but it just happens that I like guys."

TJ shook his head as if to clear thoughts from his mind. "Sorry dude. I just didn't think you'd be into guys."

Donny laughed as he floored it and sped down the long stretch of road to get to TJ's neighborhood. "Well, back to your problem," he began, obviously annoyed. "When you get more details on what happened, you should let me know. I'm actually pretty good at stuff like this."

TJ looked at the speedometer and saw they were going 103 miles per hour and he clutched the edge of the arm rest. "Ok Donny. But can you slow it down a little? I have really bad Tachophobia."

Donny took his foot off the gas and just let the car coast until he got to the street he was supposed to turn on to get to TJ's house. TJ looked at his phone intently as if he were waiting for something. In his heart, he was waiting for something but he knew it wouldn't happen. He sighed and put his phone away as Donny pulled up to the house.

"Alright bro. Here you are. It was pretty rad talking with you, but I think we should hang out more often." Donny said as TJ got out of the car.

"Yeah. I'd like that." TJ said with a smile. "Thanks for the ride!" he exclaimed as he ran to the house realizing that he was a little late.

When TJ got in and closed the door, he heard the sound of Donny's Beamer speeding off and it made him smile. He headed up the stairs but when he got to the top, he heard the front door slam open.

"What did I tell you TJ?!!" Theo boomed as he saw his brother on the top step. "I told you not to get a ride from anybody. Who was that? Was that your boyfriend?!"

TJ stood where he was, frozen in his steps and blinked dumbly as Theo interrogated him. "Theo, I'm really not in the mood for this right now. Can you yell at me later?" he asked sincerely hoping his brother would understand how he was feeling.

He didn't though. "No!" Theo screamed. "I deliberately told you NOT to get a ride from anyone but me. Did you not see me behind you guys before he took off going God knows how fast?"

TJ felt a lump in his throat as his brother chewed him out. "I-I'm sorry." TJ said softly. Theo began to walk up the stairs toward TJ with an angry look on his face, but it subsided when his younger brother leaned his head into his chest and started crying.

"It's not fair!" TJ said in between sobs. He was barely audible but Theo could hear the words of pain sting him in the chest like a bumblebee.

"Everyone gets mad at me for the smallest things. I try to make everyone happy, I really do! But, no one ever listens to what I have to say when the time calls for it." TJ continued to cry into his brother's chest until his cries subsided to silent sobs. Theo felt bad for yelling at his brother and making him cry, so he just allowed TJ to let all of his frustrations out before he spoke.

"It's alright baby bro." Theo said, hoping to at least get a smile out of him. "I'm a dick and I know it. I didn't think you'd be like this today." Theo stood looking at TJ thoroughly. 'He looks fucking terrible!' he thought. But he said "As a matter of fact, I've never seen you like this."

TJ turned away from his brother and began to walk to his bedroom. Theo wanted to stop him, but he decided against it to let TJ cool down a little. Theo never thought of himself as a bad brother. He actually thought he was a pretty good influence since TJ dressed like him, acted like him, and even learned to play the bass guitar just like him. But after seeing how he was, he felt terrible; as if all the years of the mean and rude things he did to his brother caught up to him all at once in that moment. He simply walked to his own room and called his girlfriend.

TJ laid on his futon with his right paw on his forehead still silently sobbing.

'What am I crying about?' he asked himself in his head. 'I sound like a little bitch.'

He laughed out loud at himself and wiped his eyes. "I guess I should try calling Slater." He said reaching for the phone. As soon as he picked it up, it rang and it was just the person TJ wanted to talk to.

"H-hello?" TJ stuttered realizing he was still sobbing a little.

"Hey man." Slater sort of mumbled. "I'm SO sorry about earlier today. I just kind of felt offended because I feel like I can tell you anything and I thought you might feel the same way."

The phone was silent for a few seconds before TJ spoke. "It's alright. It wasn't that big of a deal." He lied.

Slater smiled to himself, "Awesome. So uumm, can we still hang out today?"

TJ wanted to say yes but something inside him wouldn't let him. "NO dude. You totally dissed me today and my brother is pissed at me and won't let me go anywhere." He growled. He tried not to be aggressive, but he couldn't help it. It wasn't his fault that the tiger got at him... was it?

"Ok, whatever dude. You don't have to be a dick about it." Slater said slightly annoyed. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Dude, I totally didn't mean it like that!" TJ exclaimed and jumped up as if Slater were in the same room. "Today just sucked. I don't want to be an ass to you. I'll ask my bro if you can come over if you want."

Slater smiled again. He might finally get a chance to be where one of the most awesome guys he's ever met sleeps every day. "Sure! Just let me know what he says."

TJ sighed with relief. "Alright. I'll call you right back." He said.

"Cool." Slater said as he hung up the phone.

TJ laughed at the fact that his lame attempt to hang out with his dreamy friend actually worked. He got up off the futon and walked to his brother's room and knocked on the door.

"Yeah?" Theo asked dully. His response was somewhat muffled through the door but TJ could still understand him.

"Can my friend come over?" TJ asked with his ear to the door.

He heard a loud creaking of a bed then slow footfalls that got louder as they came closer to the door.

The door opened slightly and Theo poked his head out. "What'd you say?" he said sounding annoyed.

"Can my friend come over?" TJ repeated.

"Yeah, sure whatever. Don't interrupt me again." he said slamming the door.

TJ just shook his head as he sent Slater a text message to give him the 'ok' to come over. He sent him the address and say back on the futon. 'I wonder how today is going to play out.' He thought to himself.

About 15 minutes later, the doorbell rang and TJ ran to get it. When he opened the door, he nearly shivered at what he saw. Slater was standing there in an extremely small T-shirt that showed off every line of muscle on his torso and some short basketball shorts with some Vans. If TJ saw anyone else in that, he'd laugh at them and say it was tacky, but on Slater, it was nothing but sexy.

"Hey!" Slater exclaimed with a large grin spread across his face. He looked TJ directly in the eyes and he felt like he would melt. 'Oh god,' he thought 'Why is he so hot? Is it because he's blue?'

"Hey yourself!" TJ said with a little bit of enthusiasm in his voice. "Come on, let's go upstairs."

Slater gladly followed TJ up the stairs to his room and they both sat down on TJ's futon. TJ blushed in embarrassment as he saw that Slater sat in a spot where there was evidence of him pawing off. There were a few minutes of awkward silence until Slater broke it with his deep manly voice.

"Uh, TJ? Can I ask you something?" he said shyly

"Yeah, of course."

"I guess it's actually more of telling you something rather than asking." Slater sat there for a few seconds and then continued. "Since the first day of school, you've been the only person that's actually cool to me and I really wanted to thank you. I sort of wish there were more people like you are school." By this point, Slater was blushing furiously through his white fur and he rubbed the back of his neck in nervousness.

"I don't want to be nosy or anything but I heard you were gay. Is that true?" he asked TJ looking directly into his eyes.

TJ blushed a little and looked away. "Yeah, it is. I didn't plan on telling you that though."

"Oh crap, sorry dude!" Slater apologized. "I thought like, everyone knew."

"Everyone does know," TJ chuckled "I just didn't want YOU to know. I thought you were one of those guys that hate's gay people."

Slater laughed at the response. "Dude I'm fine with it. I just think we should be totally honest with each other."

Slater moved his hand on top of TJ's and held it. TJ felt like his was going to slip out of consciousness because of how good the touch felt. Slater felt like he was going to explode. 'I'm finally holding his hand' he thought. 'I guess I should go ahead and tell him.'

"Uh, TJ." Slater began. TJ looked up at him and their eyes met.

"Yeah Slater?" TJ said blushing because Slater was still holding his hand.

"I don't know how to really put this into a lot of words so I guess I'll just sum it up." Slater took a deep breath and continued.

"I know we really haven't known each other long, at all, but I really like you. You're the kind of guy that I feel comfortable around no matter what. I felt terrible for snapping at you earlier but I only did it because I sensed that you didn't like me."

TJ stared at Slater in shock and disbelief and opened his mouth to try to speak, but nothing came out.

Slater gripped the wolf's hand a little tighter as if he didn't want to lose him. "Do... you like me too?"

TJ listened as the words came out of Slater's mouth like bullets. He hadn't expected for Slater to be gay in the least and he wasn't sure if Slater was being serious or not. Neither of them said a word as their muzzles slowly got closer until TJ parted his lips and let Slater kiss him.

It was the most amazing feeling either of them had ever felt and they wished it hadn't been cut short by Theo walking in on their intimate moment.

"OH," he began. "So THIS guy is your boyfriend huh?"

TJ and Slater blushed deeply at the same time and looked away from the large black wolf. They both sat in silence as Theo scrutinized them carefully. Theo gave them both a sly grin and looked at TJ with fire in his eyes.

"Guess who's home Teej?" he nearly spat at his little brother. "Mom and Dad are goings to be so pissed at you for bringing this guy in here unless you make it worth my while."

"Fuck off Theo" TJ said in the most aggressive voice he could find through his embarrassment.

"Suit yourself then." Theo said as he walked out of the room and yelled "MOM! DAD!"

'Holy shit' TJ thought. 'This is NOT good at all...'
