Savannah Blues (10) By Roofles

Isaac's large hind paws took the steps slowly. One by one each with a heavy burden on his shoulders that weighed his legs down as if a ball and chain were being dragged behind him. His fingers traced the wall as he looked down those steps. They shifted and turned forcing him to close one eye and take a steady breath to steady himself. His gut sagged as his shoulders fell and his tail began to tuck under his legs, ears loosing their vigor and falling back.

"This wasn't happening." Isaac mumbled closing both his eyes. This wasn't happening again.

His gut twisted and he half expected to loose the contents within right there on the stairs. But as the world began to settle around him he opened his eyes growling softly. His nails scratched the wall peeling the paint with it as he pulled his hand away. Walking down the steps as heavily as before with a scowl on his face.

"Move," he barked at the two rotties who had taken it upon themselves to fornicate at te bottom. The female turned towards him as if to say 'really.' But his paw was already wrenching them apart shoving her to side.

Her hackles raised but the look that came across Isaac's face extinquished whatever vehements she had for him. A pained expression that was desperately being tried to be masked with anger. His jowels were raised and his lips quivered but his eyes were already beginning to water and the tail between his legs would tell any canine just exactly how he truly felt.

"Isaac," Jack called catching up to him. He had stopped after Isaac pulled away from him. Jerking away from his grasp as if Jack had just burned him. He was only the messenger, as far as Isaac was concerned. But the hyena wasn't in the mood to play. To be coddled and be told everything was going to be ok. He always hated when people told him that. Sometimes life was just shit and you had to grab a shovel and deal with it. Not try and put sugar and spices ontop of it. In the end it was just shit and you either dealt with it or not.

"Don't," Isaac snarled back up at him. "How did you know it was that room, huh? Run up there and see them and decide 'hey! Let's go tell your buddy and what? Get your rocks off or something? What the fuck did you think I was going to do?"

Jack ears fell back at his tone, wincing sharply as if he was had just been slapped. "Not this," he mumbled with downcast eyes. "L-let's had back to the dorm. Sleep it off-," he suggested raising his head trying to be optimistic. Even the tip of his tail giving a wag.

Isaac glared coldly at him making him back off. The hyena shook his head slumping his shoulders a bit more. "Look, Jack. I'm just going to go....get a stiff drink. A stiffy will help me," a twisted smile formed at his drunken lips.

"Then, my funny friend." A mongoose said popping up seemingly out of thin air. "Have I got a stiffy for you." He put a paw on his shoulder guiding him away, guiding him back to where the alcohol laid. "Thanks, Jackie - my boy." He looked over his shoulder with a large grin on his face. "Was fun but I got it from here."

The wild dog reached out as if to pluck the mongoose away but stopped as he saw Isaac's face. The pained express on his face, with those large amber eyes downcast if in shame, tears running down the top side of his muzzle to dripple down his nose. It was a pretty site. Ugly even. Sad and pitiful and Jack couldn't bring himself to pull him away from the small cretin at his side. Knowing that the devilishly little 'rodent' was probably the only one that could get him through this. Sowing and causing choas was a hobby he made a living patching them up afterwards though. Some sick thrill or something he never got it and personally he never wanted too.

The audienced turned away some mumbling how sorry they felt, other's grumbling that they didn't get into a fist fight. And a few wishing they had made up, kissed and fucked right there. But instead they all went back to their means and ends, some to the tv and others back out front where several furs had spilled out onto as if someone had opened the flood gates. Several bears were sprawled out on the lawn as if someone had poached them.

Isaac found his rump hitting the soft cushion of a chair at the table as the mongoose next to him darted around the table at lightning speed. Pouring and mixing, shaking and added olives and icecubes and cherries and drinking it before pouring a simple scotch for him. Sliding it across the table into the hyena's paw catching him off guard.

"Who do you think taught Ralph how to mix drinks?" Alphonse said now wiping the table with a used rag he seemed to have dug up somewhere. For a second Isaac forgot he was in the middle of the party as the mongoose cleaned up a spill, rung the rag into an empty glass and slid it down the table. Waiting for some random joe or jane to walk by and pick it up. "Get your butt hurt? Or hurt because you didn't get your butt hurt?"

Isaac grumbling slumping against the table. "Give me something strong and fruity." The mongoose cocked an eyebrow at the comment, the stripes on his back straightening out as he seemingly stood a bit taller. "Drink. I meant a drink."

"I knew what you meant," Alphonse laughed grabbing a few fruit from the cooler underneath the table and chopping them up. Isaac hadn't a clue where he was getting all this stuff. The cutting board and knife and fruit all just seemed to appear as he needed it. The kitchen was still a good ten feet away. "Here. Something strong. And something fruity." He added dipping his pinky into it. Pulling the black claw out and licking it. "Hm...maybe a little too strong to be honest. Not enough fruit. Let me take off my pants-,"

"It's fine. I can hold my drink." Isaac said downing the glass in a single shot. Sloshing the liquid around in his muzzle before gulping loudly, his throat bulging as he drank the racid rotten fruit smelling liquir. The second it hit his stomach he slammed the glass onto the table. "Give me another."

"You know you might have a problem."

"I don't have a drinking problem." Isaac said taking the glass and splashing himself in the face with it before bursting out into a fit of giggils. "Give me another."

"Ha. I get it. Humor." Alphonse rolled his eyes shaking up another one before siphoning it out into the glass. The hyena gripped the cup, his large paw taking the whole side, his fingers curling around it. The smooth, cold glass felt nice against his paw pads as coarse and rough as they could be at times.

"So tell me. What's so special about this Colin guy, anyways?" The mongoose asked tipping another drink out for a cheerleader who was way over the limit. He watched a nice looking jock take her away. Oh she'd be just fine he was sure as he turned back to the hyena who was mulling over the question. "You've only known him for like, what? A week."

"It's been a while?" He offered trying to find some flismy excuse to grasp onto. The he thought about it the less sure he became with the whole situation which only led to more drinking which in turn led to barely recalling his own name.

"That's what I figured." Alphonse continued watching the hyena with his tongue sticking out. "But see come to me, forget your worries. Break up - so what? He was a douche and now your a single free man that can find some other boy to fight swords with...Isaac?" He poked the hyena whoa slumped onto the table with a giddy laugh. "Ok then. Well my job here is done. Jack come clean up the mess over here."

The mongoose waved at the wild dog peeping around the corner before heading off to cause more mischief. Slipping past him and back up the stairs. Halfway up running into a zebra.

"Whoa, Isaac. You alright?" Jack touched his shoulder getting another giddy laugh from the hyena. "D-did he drug you?" His large ears fell looked at his roommate.

"I'msh fine." Isaac sat back leaning against the chair before falling back in it. Hitting the ground he seemed to be in shock before bursting into another fit of giggils.

"I only act like that when I'm baked." Ralph muttered coming around the corner.

"H-hey look. All's fair in love and war, right?" Jack shrugged.

"True." Ralph said pushing the wild dog out of the way and bending down to help the hyena up. "So unless you can physically take him from me. He's coming with me. And before you cut in keep in mind I have to play bouncer at the bar most nights."

Jack wasn't about to see his efforts put to waste but the drooling hyena didn't seem to be that much of a catch right now anyways. He didn't want to baby sit someone all night while the night was still young. Plenty of boys for the pickings and Isaac would be on his game again tomorrow. Ralph was out of the way, him and Colin broke up. Yeah, things would be sweet come tomorrow.

"And don't think I'm not going to tell him all about the hand you played in this farce." Ralph said nearly picking the hyena up as he guided him out front.

A group of their peers were watching, sipping their drinks and watching the soap opera play out. A nearly naked lion stumbling down the stairs, his pants half way on. "Hey! Where you think your going? I'm not finished." Colin growled his drunken state slowly coming back to reality.

"One second, bud." Ralph said to the hyena were was mumbling a bit to himself about cheese wheels. "Hold this," the zebra said to one of the rotties who took him only because he would've fallen on him otherwise.

"I told you not to touch my man." Colin snarled hobbling on one leg trying to get his leg out of the tail hole he had put it into. Finally forgetting about it he walked down the stairs jabbing a fingers into Ralph's chest who was standing at the bottom. "So get your ass back up there and lets finish this before I go home and finish that-," he pointed at the hyena looking right into the fist that connected with his face.

"Ow." Ralph muttered shaking his hand. "Been wanting to do that since I got here." He looked over at the wild dog who had wisely kept his distance. "This is over yet Jack." He jabbed a hoofed finger at him before turning and taking the load off the rottie who Isaac had been drunkenly and poorly flirting with.

"Hey!" Isaac said pulling his arm back before his mind could wrap around who had touched his shoulder." Ralph!"

"Don't you dare."

"This is Tony."

"My names Robert actually-,"

"He says his penis is better than yours."

"I didn't say anything, I swear!" The rottie said wide eyed looking at the equidae who was still fuming a bit.

"But we all know you have the best penis. How is your penis today?" Isaac grinned toothly with the tip of his tongue out. The blueish gray mug of his brightening up. "I told him yours was the best. Show him yours is the best."

"Maybe another night," Ralph laughed a bit hoisting the hyena up over his shoulder with a loud grunt wondering if he always talked about his penis when he was drunk...and why he wouldn't when he was sober. It really was a nice penis.

"Jack! Have you seen Ralph's penis! It's huuuu-," Isaac voice was cut short as the door slammed behind them. The wild dog winced wondering if it was best to follow them out or not.

Turning around he saw a cat coming his way. Yellow fur and black spots was his sign to get out and he found himself chasing after the two. "I can take him home. He's going to throw up in your car. Be horrible and messy. And my penis is better than yours!"

Ralph looked over his other shoulder at him swinging the hyena around. "Wheee! Jack you have got to try this. I love riding the pony!"

"Of course you do," Ralph smiled darkened as his eyes met the wild dogs who stopped in mid sprint skidding to a halt still out of arms reach. "I couldn't let you do that. He's my responsibility, as a 'good' friend." He emphasize the word. "That's what bartenders do anyways. We get paid for it."

"I know but you seem tired. How about we just let bygones be bygones and call it a night. Hm?" Jack didn't get any closer, keeping his distance was the safest option for him. He was a lover not a fighter. And the zebra was much larger than him; if he could lift Isaac he didn't want to know just what he would do to him.

"True. I think I will. I really do hate violence and I'd hate to have to bash your skull in. So I'm going to do just that. You are nothing but a small microscoptic bygone and I am going to just leave you be as we leave. With Isaac." The hyena threw up on his back. "Unfortunetly..."

"Ew...ok well, yeah. Have fun with that." Jack turned. He might be able to grab some tail tonight because at this rate he really wasn't about to get his paws on the hyena...
