Reunion

Part 1

Kurt walked down the halls of the highschool with a huge grin on his muzzle, the handsome young white tiger stood around 7 foot tall, and had a brilliant muscled physique. As he walked along he looked around, Junior year was wel gone and his first day as a senior had started, and what a year it was gonna be! Captain of the football team, and the debate team, everyone loved Kurt, well... almost everyone, there were a few people he picked on, but otheer than them, everybody.

Kurt hadn't always been the athletic hunk he is today though, in fact up until the summer before freshman year, Kurt was the nerdiest tiger you'd ever meet, and his body was best described as lanky, but he decided to change all that and over the summer.

A bit further down the hall, fumbling with his locker was the guy Kurt was looking for, Brett, a human. Brett was a nerd to the core, and kind of a loner. He was a good foot shorter than Kurt and was a ginger, that is, pale freckled skin and copper red curly hair...

Kurt walked up behind him, and knocked the books out of his hands, no words were exchanged, Brett just sighed and picked up his books and ran to his first class, while Kurt ran back to high five his friends, the huge grin still plastered on his face, the tiger trying his hardest to not lose his cool image, even if it meant acting like a jerk.

"Dude, that was so awesome!" Proclaimed baxter, a hyena Junior with straght black fur, and a slightly smaller frame than Kurt's.

"Yeah the look on that freaks face was priceless!" added Vick, a lean fast looking lion.

"Yeah... sure" replied Kurt, "We should probabl get to class though, remember, if we get detention for being late we'll miss practice"

Brett's first class of the day was art, as it had been all three previous years, but this year was art four. That meant he, as well as the other two seniors in the class, would have to add a mural to the school. Normally the anouncement would have made him nervous, but he was too distracted to care... Believe it or not until Freshman year he and Kurt had been best friends, inseperable, but then Kurt became different, he started to play football and stopped talking to Brett. He was crushed, he stopped caring, most of the time he didn't leave his room, and he just closed himself off...

"Hey, you ok?" asked Violetta, a sweet demeanored, goth bunny girl, and the only other senior in first period Art class, and one of the very few people Brett ever talked to.

"Huh? oh hey Vi, yeah... I'm fine, just... thinking"

"Lemme guess... Kurt?"

"y-yeah... first day and he's already picking on me..."

"What the hell is that guy's problem?" Vi whispered

"Guess I must just be an easy target..." Brett lied, Vi transfered in Sophomore year, so she didn't know about the past friendship between the two.

"Still he's a jerk, I wish we could just put him in his place!"

"Same here" Brett replied secretly wondering why, after everything, all he wanted was his friend back...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kurt's first class, AP Literature. While not exactly a nerd anymore, he was still brilliant, after all a football scholarship isn't worth much if the colleges don't accept you or if you flunk out! The teacher was super strict and so there was no talking, to top it off it was a block scheduled class, meaning 90 minutes rather than 45 except on Tuesdays and Thursdays when the second period was replaced with a free period. after to 90 minutes of boring lecture the rest of the day went by pretty quick. Then Kurt met up with his friends for football practice.

"Yo Kurt! C'mere we got a plan for an AWESOME prank!" yelled Franco a white furred wolf.

"Tell him Mark, tell him!" said an overly excited Coyote named Calo

"Ok so what's the plan?" asked Kurt, hoping nothing turned violent

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, the week of homecoming was here, the school was totally excited, not Brett though, to him homecoming was just another night, he never went, mainly because he was gay and too afraid to come out. It was Friday, the next night was homecoming and Vi was trying to convince Brett to go.

"C'mon! you don't even need a date! I'm sure somebody will get ditched and you can like, be her hero for the night!"

"Vi... Thanks but no, I'd rather be the loser who stays home than the loser who goes to homecoming stag"

"Oh... fine... I was even gonna ask my date if you could ride with us... maybe prom then..." Vi sighed

Just then something unexpected happened, it was the end of the day, but there was no football practice because of a big prank pulled by the rival school, they somehow managed to cover the entire field in red paint and it was still being cleaned up. Brett looked up from he and Vi's table to se Kurt walking over and waving.

"Um... hey, Vi, it is Vi right? you think I could talk to Brett alone for a minute?" Kurt asked politely playing with his shirt collar.

"Uh... I guess..." she said the leaned to whisper to brett "If he does anything just come find me ok?"

as she walked away Kurt sat down across the tablee from Brett nervously, he was so nervous about what he was about to do

"So... Brett... Tomorrow is homecoming ya'know? you have a date yet?" Brett was excited to have Kurt talking to him but wasn't entirely sure why he would ask.

"No... probably just gonna stay home, play some Xbox or something, how about you? who are you going with?"

"Well... that's sort of the thing... I don't have a date, and I was wondering..... would you liketou go with me?" Kurt asked with a coy smile. Brett's heart felt like it was sailing, not only was Kurt talking to him but he was asking him out!

"you mean like... as your date?" Brett asked sheepishly

"Yeah, as my date..."

"YEAH!" Brett couldn't contain his excitment

"Well then, I've got some bad news" Kurt said in a mock sad tone "I'm honestly just asking you on a dare, casue Mark caught you checking him out in P.E. so we just wanted to get an admission out of you!" Kurt laughed

"I... you... I just...." Brett couldn't think, he coud hardly breath, as high as he had felt a minute ago, was equal to how low he felt now, he couldn't hold the tears back and he got up and ran crying away from the table, Vi had stayed within earshot and needless to say she was not happy.

"Kurt what the FUCK is wrong with you, you piece of- wait... what the hell?" she stopped short, she noticed Kurts face was nearly as sad as Brett's was and a tear running down his face.

"Just... go the fuck away Vi... you wouldn't understand..." Kurt said weakly

"Try me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brett Kept running, he just wanted to be somewhere else, anywhere else, he ended up in the woods, he knew where he was, but he didn't mean to come here. In front of him was the biggest tree in the woods, and in the top, an old tree house, he knew it all too well. At the base was something carved into the tree... "Brett and Kurt's BFF treehouse" Brett couldn't stop crying, he climbed up into the treehouse and curled up in a corner, he didn't have the energy to walk home, he needed a little sleep.

"How could I be so stupid" Brett was talking to himself, a bad habbit he developed. "Of course it was a joke, he hasn't cared about me in years, let alone like me" Brett felt like something was clawing at his insides. after a few minutes he drifted off to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wow... so you two were best friends?" Vi asked.

"Yeah,then... I guess my newfound popularity ended up going to my head... GOD I'm so stupid... why did I let them talk me into that! He's never gonna talk to me again..." Kurt said, deep regret in his voice.

"Go find him, you never know what he'll say when you appologize, I bet deep down he misses you as much as you miss him!"

"Yeah, I'll head to his place... hopefully they still have the key hidden where I can find it...

Kurt got to Brett's house but nobody was there, his parents were rarely around, but even Brett wasn't there.

"NO... no... where is he... I've gotta find him... who knows where he went, he could have gotten hurt... or run into the street..." Kurt nearly started crying again but managed to hold it back and thought things out "If he's not in his room... where else could he be?" He thought back to their friendship over the years. "THE TREEHOUSE!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kurt spent an hour walking to the treehouse, seeing it again reminded him of the good times, and how much he missed them.

"I hope he's here, and that he's ok" Kurt thought to himself as he climbed the ladder, it was early evening and the sun was setting, but as he entered the small room he could see the smaller form quivering in the corner

"Brett, wake up... Please be ok..." Brett sat up and looked at him

"What do you care Kurt, even if I weren't ok who would give a fuck" Brettchoked out through his tears.

"Brett... Please forgive me.... I'm so sorry... I just... I forgot what was important"

"Right... I'm sure this isn't just another setup... let me guess, you get me to come down then your friends are gonna jump me?" Brett said, heartbreak still strong on his voice

Kurt walked over and sat down next to Brett, "No... I promise... that's over" Kurt put a paw on Brett's shoulder and looked him in the eye "Brett... every night since I started this... since I lost you... I cry over you, I miss you... it may have been a prank the first time... but please... will you really go to homecoming with me?"
