"Because of you."Because of you." "Me?" "Furry, I don't want to be a... a... a lesbian!" "Who says you are?" "Everybody on this damned campus! They know we're sleeping together, they know we haven't kissed anyone but each other since I decided I was giving up mels a year ago. But I don't want to give up mels, I don't want to be a lesbian! I like mels... " "I believe you, Kiza," Furry said, laying a hand on her roommate's knee. "But Furry, I've never had a successful relationship with a mel, ever! The best relationship I've ever had was with you, and in two weeks that's all going end when Nickolai comes back, isn't it?" "It might," Furry said. "Or we could end up still being best friends, Kiza. I can't believe you started a gangbang just so you could prove to yourself and the whole Ring that you were straight!" "I didn't mean to... but when I was drunk, it just seemed like a good idea." Kiza reached down and grabbed Furry's hand. "I love you." Furry started. "Kiza..." "No, wait," Kiza said. "I mean that. From the bottom of my soul to the top, Furry, I love you. You've proven to me that I can love somebody, and I guess that's the most important thing you've ever done for me. "It's all going to end in two weeks, but those two weeks are going to be the happiest, and the saddest, in my entire life. At least, my life up to now." She slowly stretched her legs out before her in the shower, scratching at her fur. "I'm really a mess." "How many guys were there?" Kiza cocked her head, thinking for a moment. "Five." "FIVE?" Kiza laughed. "Well, you asked. It was a gangbang, after all. I think there was a Lutra, a Mephit, an Uncia-- or maybe a jock Felinzi, not sure-- and a Vulpin." "You're taking this remarkably well for someone who's describing what some fems would call rape." "No," Kiza said. "No, I wanted it. I deserved what happened to me tonight." She wrapped her arms around her midsection. "After throwing up, though, I feel a whole lot better." "Ready to dry off?" Kiza nodded. Furry again helped her to her feet; she was still none too steady. Still holding her roommate in one arm, Furry activated the blow dryers, scratching and ruffling Kiza's fur to make sure that she was completely dry before helping her into bed. |
