Never Let Go (A Gay Furry story)

~~~3~~~

"Oh come on Felix, no need to be so grumpy," Gav's dad tells me while laughing with his wife. He can hardly keep his eyes open.

"If I wanted to be laughed at, I might've just stayed at school" I sternly say while going through my bag, and pulling papers out of my bag so that we can copy all the information down onto a powerpoint.

"Okay, it seems like Mr. Serious pants is wanting to get to work," his mom says while taking a step towards the door "We'll leave you two for now, but don't forget dinner will be ready soon" before she closes the door.

I shake my head and sigh; I wasn't looking forward to coming to his house, and now I can't wait to get out.

"So do we have everything ready to begin making the presentation?" He asks while looking down at my computer screen "Woh what, you're already creating the slides and adding all the information we did in class and at the library" I turn to face him, and just slowly nod my head while still typing away on the laptop.

"Yeah, I just like to finish my work as early as possible so I don't have to worry about anything else later on. We may have two days to work on it, but I just wanna finish this so I don't have to think about it any longer" I focus on reading the paper, and typing what I see.

"I know you might not like me or that you don't even want to be here, but can I know why you hate furs?" he sits down next to me, making the bed bow further under our combined weight "Or having to talk to anybody for that matter"

Gavin right there almost struck a nerve within me, but I just let out a big breath and I shake my head. "No... You won't know why, and I don't think you'll ever understand. Your family loves you, and you are comfortable around them. I haven't seen my parents in months, they are out who knows where, working their asses off; they never had time to raise or love me, it was always my nanny who did that" I stare at my computer screen for a second before looking up at him, and he's completely speechless.

"I can see I spoiled the night, I guess I'll be off then, don't want to ruin your family dinner with my negativity" I get up and walk out of his room, before turning down the hall and towards the front door, saying "Something just came up and I have to go, nice meeting you" to his parents; which was a complete lie.

As I slowly walk down the sidewalk, kicking a rock, I realize "Shit, I left my bag in his room. Now I'm gonna have to go back and get it tomorrow. Well at least I carry the most important stuff in my pockets" I take my house keys out of my pocket and run back home, trying to stay in the light since I'm a bit scared to be out by myself when it is dark out.

I run up my front steps, unlock the door, and slam it behind me before locking the deadbolt and doubling over to catch my breath; I made it home safely. "God... I need to stop reading so many of those horror stories" I say between deep breaths, and shake my head laughing. "They always make me paranoid to be out at night"

After catching my breath, and getting a glass of water from the kitchen; I sit on the couch and kick my feet up onto the coffee table "I'm kind of surprised Gavin let me leave his house without saying a word, I guess he was shocked? Nah I doubt that's the reason; why can't I get him out of my head?" I mumble as I sit there, thinking for a bit as I thumb my phone, waiting for a text from him. But it never comes. I shrugged it off like usual and go up to my room to play video games, before ordering a pizza.

"Shit! Hold on guys the pizza is here, protect me while I pay for it. I swear if I go down and I lose all my perks" I take off my headset, leaving it and the controller on my bed as I run for my wallet and thrust a wad of cash into the Leopard's paw.

"You having a gaming session?" The Snow Leopard asks me while taking out my pizza from the bag he carries.

"Mhm," I say, waiting there anxiously as his slow ass tries to get the box out. He hands it to me, and I close the door on his face, not meaning to be rude, so I yell "Keep the tip!"

Before I run back up to continue playing Zombies. And by the time I know, it's morning.

"Argh!" I say as the sun shines through my blinds, right into my eyes. "I must've just passed out while I was playing," I say while grabbing my phone to look at the time. 10:36 AM. "OH FUCK ME. I have to get my bag from Gavin's house, ughhhhhhh" I groan while standing my lazy ass up, and walking to the shower; stripping pieces of clothes off until I'm looking at myself naked in the mirror.

"Why hello there you ugly fuck" I laugh for a few seconds, standing there all nude, paw running down my sheath and sack before letting out a breath. A few seconds later I'm in the shower, the hot steam rising around me while I stand under the cascading water pouring down my back as I think. I've felt lonely for a few years now; no friends or family to speak of that I know well, just the occasional school acquaintance who usually moves on after a week or two. "GOD! Why am I so lonely..." I yell while hanging my head low, and rubbing my eyes, letting the waterfall down the ridge of my muzzle.

"I came out to my best friend, telling him that I had such a huge crush on him" I turn the shower off and reach for my phone, scrolling through all my contacts of friends I no longer have with my soaked paw. I stop on his number, reading his name silently. "James"

I step out of the shower and begin drying off with a towel, running it over my arms and legs "I wonder how he's doing" I say while standing up and looking at myself in the mirror again; I'm still the same, butt ugly as before, but now my fur is all puffy.

I grab my phone again and type out a simple "um hi? How's it going? It sure has been two years since we've talked James."

But I don't hit send; I just stop and stare for about 30 seconds, looking at what I wrote to him then right at that moment it hits me. "Why did he stop talking to me? He didn't yell, he didn't call me names, and he didn't do anything hurtful to me. He simply got up and left my house." My finger taps the send button and I wait for a response; if I even get one.

While I was waiting for James to message back, I chose to go get my bag, it took me half an hour to get to Gav's house. I could've gotten there much earlier if I hadn't kept stalling by looking through furbook, or pretending to be interested in an insect that flew by me, just so I could have another minute. I dread getting to his house, because I know I'm gonna get pulled into some sort of conversation.

"It's now or never" I grumble to myself under my breath while reaching for the doorbell; but there was no need since the door swings, revealing Gavin's entire family standing there in hiking gear.

"Oh, it's Felix!" Gavin's mother says as she stands in the doorway, before moving to the left for her husband.

"He's probably here for his bag that he left by accident" His dad points out while walking past me and to the car.

"I'll just go upstairs and grab it for him real quick" Gavin runs upstairs and come back fast, throwing the heavy bag to me; luckily I catch it with my arms with only a little grunt when it slams hard against my chest.

"Hey Gavin, I'm sorry about yesterday" I give him a look of guilt, before turning my gaze to the ground "A lot of things were happening, and I got overwhelmed"

"It's okay, water under the bridge" he responds back to me nonchalant, but I think I saw him roll his eyes as he steps past me. "Bye" He yells when his dad pulls out of the driveway, and speeds off down the road.

"Umm, I don't know what to say" I look at the car driving off until I can no longer see it. Once I can't see it any longer I wanted to go back home, but I take the long route through the park. My phone vibrates in my pocket, so I take it out.
