Hey everyone, I'm back with a 13 page story! I had a really great time writing this even if it's more story driven than sex wanted. I gained some inspiration from personal fears of mine and decided to make it into a small story that I've come to love writing. This is about personal fears of mine about as you can soon guess sexuality, I'm only out to you beautiful people so I thought this could help me a little bit (and possibly others?). The main character Jake shares a few of my qualities such as being shy( although I'm not as much as him) and not really knowing who he is. I really hope you enjoy this story and if you do possibly a sequel may follow.?

Without further ado I present to you Alone no more.


Jake knew something was up as soon as he left his dorm room. It started out small, a few glances here and there, quiet snickers, or complete silence when he passed some people who were just talking. This was all it was until Colby, a big bison who as always was sitting with his pal Barry a grey wolf decided to say something. "Hey Jakey!" Colby called out across the school grounds his deep voice easily carrying the distance. "Is it true that you were at that fag bar yesterday?" Those two were always looking for girl(s) or something to torment.

What a way to get everyone's attention. Everyone in Jake's vision turned toward him, no telling how many muzzles were pointing at him behind his back. As far as he knew, Colby just announced this over the intercom making everyone stop eating their breakfast and look up from their last minute studies to stare at the brown otter, now clutching his books to his chest as if they were a teddy bear. Jake slowly tilted his head up to look at the bison and wolf getting up from their seats and walking toward him, he then thought "Wait he was at the bar?" To "Holy shit who saw me at the bar?"

There couldn't have been anyone in his college there, he takes an hour bus ride so no one notices him. They are just messing with him right? It's in their nature to embarrass someone in the most open part of the school where what felt like almost everyone was at at the moment. Jake could feel his fur turn into molten lava under his light blue tank top. Was it his outfit, did it look too gay? No a lot of aquatic animals dress like this, yeah he wore shorts that might be a little too short to subtly well... dress "gay" in his opinion but he could pass it off as if they shrunk in the dryer or something like that. What felt like thousands of eyes were upon him, if he could he would have curled his tail around his leg in fear but otters can't do that.

He could feel his blunt claws dig into the books he carried which will definitely leave marks in the hundreds of dollars of pages. He could just keep walking and pretend he didn't hear the bison and just ignore him, but he could only form the previous three thoughts as the bison, in Jake's opinion thirteen foot frame cast a shadow over his short one with the wolf nearing the otters side. Jake couldn't form any words only try not to shake too hard. Was he surprised that he wasn't outed as gay earlier in his college life, YES, yes it did but no matter how many times he planned what he would say and do in his head none of those plans were coming to him now.

"You know, once we found out it wasn't that hard to believe it. Our little gay otter growing up so fast." Colby barked. " I've always seen you checking me out when you thought I wasn't looking, I just thought I'd let you. Not too many sexy bison around here."

Jake now quickly looked down at the grass only able to stammer out "I..I..I've never checked." But was cut off by Barry.

"You too? I thought I thought I was the only one. looks like he's been busy."The stares of the other students were being burned into his soul. He knew practically none of them, he stuck mostly to himself only occasionally did he make a few friends, but at this moment none of them were here to stick up for him. "Mary said she saw you there, she told us she didn't want to worry about any guys hitting on her while she was on vacation with a friend so they went to. What was it called? The indigo booth or the indigogo plaza. Anyway she said she saw our little otter getting hit on by a small group I didn't believe her until she showed me the pictures." Colby loudly exclaimed.

"So...so what? Who cares what or who I like?" Jake whispered possibly loud enough for the wolf to hear.

"So it's true!" The wolf belted out laughing slapping Colby on the back. "We got what we wanted isn't that right Colby. Let's let him off the hook for now then again he may enjoy being on one." The bison let out a chuckle and a small smile.

"See you back at the dorm fag." They started to walk away leaving Jake stuck in place by himself watching the bottoms of their paws and hooves walk away. Slowly he left the center of attention, no one chased after them to tell them to apologize, no one went to Jake to help him they just went back to the talking and studying. Jake was okay being somewhat of a loner, but for the first time he felt truly alone.

His legs slowly became unstuck and he could tell themselves to start walking, he could feel a few people stare at him as he walked past them still clutching his books. This had to be the most humiliating and embarrassing day of his life and it was only morning. He started to walk to his appropriate class but couldn't focus on the right path so he got lost.

Jake's phone rang from a text message taking him away from his thoughts. The message was from his group partner Seth who was in his writing class. "Where are you? Are you sick? Do you need me to take notes for you?"

The weight on Jake's shoulders grew smaller, He's not alone, he has Seth and Cassie his other partner, hell even his digital arts director Mr. Jason(who he suspected was gay and all of whom he's not even 'friends' with). Jake stopped and moved over to a bench that was close by him to sit down. He put his books down next to him and responded back to Seth."I'm sorry something came up." He wondered if he should say more "Please can you take the notes for me, I just can't deal with class right now :(." He was about to pick up his books when he got a message back."Okay remember partners stick together. Stay in your room and rest. P.s Mr. Jason says hi."

So Seth heard what happened? He got a small smile on his face at the last part, one's acting like a mom the other like my friend he chuckled softly. No use in staying out here when he could take a now needed nap. Feeling emotionally drained he picked up his books, got off the bench and started making his way back to his dorm with a very little spring in his step.

He got to his co-ed dormitory with only a small amount of self doubt inside of him. When he arrived inside the building he checked every corner just in case Colby and Barry were waiting for him, he knew they wouldn't be but he couldn't escape that fear. He finally got to his door that read 425 Mr. Logan,Jake Mr._____. He reached into his shorts to grab his key and put it inside the hole, when he opened the door he slipped on something on the ground which almost made him fall down if it wasn't for the doorknob he was holding onto. "What the?" He said to himself reaching toward the floor to pick up a few sheets the sheets of paper. When he had them in his paws he knew it wasn't paper, he looked at one of them which read "Told you Jakey" in green marker. He froze instantly not wanting to turn them around. With a quick burst of adrenaline he turned the pictures revealing their secret to him. The pictures showed him,HIM at the bar with the group that he was getting hit on by the other night with a huge rainbow flag on the wall behind him and the name of the bar on it. The last picture showed Jake kissing a tiger on the lips while getting groped all at the same time.

This made him freeze, was this on the internet? Who else did that big mouth tell? What does it matter anymore? What he felt earlier returned to him, he still felt scared that people knew he was gay. But having the chance to tell his friends, well friend, and others face to face that he was gay was taken from him. This personal thing about him that made him different was being told by rumors and two bullies. Not by an otter that didn't care what other would think, an otter that could kiss a boy on the lips in public and not only surrounded by people like him or alone,that's what he wanted.

But Jake couldn't do any of that. He ripped up the pictures except for the last one and threw them away, he put the intact one on his dresser it was a flattering and sexy pic after all. he stripped off his tank top and dropped it to the floor, shorts following them soon after he was then left in his short, tight, pink underwear that couldn't be any gayer or hotter and slipped into bed trying to dull out the world with very little success.

....................................

He woke up from his nap from quick tapping noises filling his ears. He lifted his head up from his pillow and blinked his unfocused eyes. Another set of taps filled his ears."Hello, Jake it's me Seth." What's he doing here? How does he know where my room is?

"O-one minute!" Jake called out quickly putting on his shorts and tank top again. He looked around his room putting away things that he didn't want Seth to see (or you to read about).He did a quick glance around the room double checking, the poster! There was a poster of a kangaroo's lower thigh up to his abs only covered by a similar underwear he was wearing, but he couldn't take it down without ripping it.

Jake loved that he didn't have a roommate to share the room with. He could have the entire room to himself without the annoyance of someone else and he took advantage of that by covering the entire room with his personality, and his personality was plastering the room with his things and what "things/parts" that interested him, after all he had no plans on bringing anyone in here.

"You okay?" Seth called out,knocking again. Fuck, well he already knows right? Jake opened the door a crack to see Seth's furred face looking back at him.

"Hey Seth... what do you want?" He asked hopefully not sounding rude.

"I have notes for today's class that you wanted and I wanted to check up on you." The black and white spotted rabbit quickly added.

"Do you mind if I come in?" He asked Jake a little concerned. Jake opened his door slowly and stepped to the side letting the rabbit in the room. Jake saw seth's nose twitch as he walked in getting hit with all the scents that Jake has had, the rabbit definitely knew him on a deeper scale now. Then Jake saw him look around the room quickly blinking his eyes in surprise. So he didn't know before?

"So what I heard was true?" So he did know.

"Well...You can't be that surprised right?" Jake quietly joked, while staring at the awestruck rabbit.

"I did have my opinion but I just thought that you were a little feminine, not gay. I don't immediately have a he's gay thought." He answered before adding "Don't you have that?"

"I don't really think about others too often, you and Cassie maybe." Jake responded, his voice gaining a bit more confidence while reaching to hold his left elbow with his paw.

"I'm flattered!" Seth gasped sarcastically bringing his paws to his O shaped muzzle. " Sorry we only talk in class then and text each other to cheat on unfinished work." Seth told him with a tinge of guilt in his voice.

"Well, you're here now." A small silence passed." Thank you, I really mean it." Jake told him, voice cracking a bit.

"At least now I can introduce you to my other LGBT friends." He said with a smirk. "I'm serious. You didn't think you were the only person like this right." Seth asked him, a little bit surprised. He was more surprised when Jake ran up to him with cheetah like speed and hugged him tightly knocking Seth back a few feet.

"Oof." Seth exhaled not sure what to do with the otter wrapped tightly around him. He started to rub Jake's back slowly." I take it you dealt with this all alone your entire life?" He could feel Jake nod against his ribs not loosing his grip on Seth. He just kept rubbing the shorter otter until Jake pulled away a minute later.

"I'm sorry I don't know what came over me." Jake finally told Seth.

"It's fine honey, just caught me by surprise." He responded."Would you mind telling me why you never talked to anyone about this?" Jake walked over to his bed to sit down, Seth followed and pulled Jake's desk chair in front of him and sat down facing the frightened otter.

"To make it simple, my parent's were die hard Christians. They spent all of their free time at the church or a church friends house to talk about how almighty they've been because of this I was taken along with them every time. They wanted me to learn about how great "God" could be. I got sick of this quickly and they punished me for it saying that If I don't go to church with them I'll be taken by the devil. One day I responded Then let him take me. In response they forced me to spend my summer in a loss of faith camp, that's when I lost any faith in them and any higher power and that if I lived that life I couldn't live how I really was. Then when I was in my bed one night while looking at porn on my phone."He blushed."That slipped out, I realized that I would never be able to act on these feelings and if I ever told anyone about them I would be sent to a gay camp or something. So I kept it secret and left for college and got as much money as I could and transferred here wiping my parents name from every file I could and haven't talked to them again."

Seth was brought back by this, Jake has lived a lie for most of his life no wonder he acted like this. "I understand that, but that seems a little extreme." Seth told him honestly.

"The reason I haven't talked to them is because when I first arrived here I told them I was gay, they told me that they were going to cut off my funds so I couldn't steal their hospitality anymore. And so a fag from hell won't corrupt their flock. So now I'm left with a heavy amount of student loans, no job, and no one to turn to." Jake said to both Seth and himself.

"And I thought you were just normal art student."Seth told him stunned. They sat in silence for a good amount of time before Seth's Eyes turned towards the cabinet next to Jake's bed. " I see you wasted no time in exploring your new life." He pointed to the picture. Jake looked confused for a second then noticed the picture of him being groped.

"You weren't supposed to see that." He quickly said while flipping it over and putting it inside of the cabinet.

"How about that ?"Seth pointed up to the half naked Roo.

"You're not helping you know." Jake squealed standing up to cover the person of his many fantasies.

"Yeah I am, I got you to get a smile on your face." The Rabbit retorted with a smirk, folding his arms across his chest and folding one leg over the other. Jake noticed that he did have a smile on his face after Seth told him, and a blush. After a moment of silence Jake asked. "Were you serious about what you told me earlier?"

"About what?" He responded questionably.

"About your friends." Jake then lowered his voice." And how they're... like me?"

"Of course I was and stop acting like we're a conspiracy or something listen I'll demonstrate." Seth then stood up and took an exaggerated deep breathe."WE'RE GAY, WE LIKE DICK!" Jake jumped at this, surprised by the outburst.

"Why did you do that!" Jake yelled throwing his arms, fur bristling out as much as it's thickness could allow.

"To show you know one cares." Seth explained walking up to him and putting a paw on Jake's shoulder to calm him down. There was a knock on the wall

"YAY! Now shut up!" Jake's neighbor yelled.

"Much." Seth added after the the lovely neighbors outburst. Wait, he just had an outburst. Seth's eyebrow raised. "Anyway, I can introduce you to them if you want, I'm meeting most of them later at a coffee shop." He asked Jake, shaking off what just happened .

"How many like two, three?"Jake asked back, still skeptical what Seth will do next.

" Times that by six, or four." Seth finally answered worried that he might scare Jake off or make it seem too intimidating. Jake quickly did the math in his head.

"Twelve! Are you nuts, I'm not good with people, are you guys a group? Are you all dating? How do you know they'll be okay with it, how do..." He started to drone on in nervousness. Seth covered Jake's mouth with his paw to shut him up. The inside of his paw grew wet and warm from Jake's breaths.

"You want to know how I know they'll be okay with it?" Seth asked Jake losing his good, happy nature and gained a serious one. Jake nodded up and down." I know because they are like you, some are more talkative, more louder, and some that can be seen as totally different from you. But in the end we have to stick together, one stick is easy to break alone but once you add other's to it it can become unbreakable." Jake locked eyes on him.

"Mphf mphff." His voice muffled, Seth took his paw away." But, I'm still not good with people." Seth rolled his eyes.

" All you have to do is meet them, they do the talking. Also look pretty, everyone goes for the cute ones but you won't have to try to hard for that." Seth flirted, going back to not so inspirational self. That left Jake with a blush yet again." Okay, with that said I'll let you have some time alone to think it over. I'll be here around six so you have four hours. I'll see you then, okay? I have some business to take care of." Seth said the last part like an Italian mob boss causing Jake to chuckle.

" Okay, I'll be fine. Thank you again, it feels good to have someone to talk to." Jake told him with the most honesty and relief he's ever had.

" Not just someone, a friend." Seth answered in a similar way and walked to the door opening it before saying " I'll see you then." And while pointing at the Roo he finished with." Think of him for me. I already smell what you left behind stud." He winked and left the otter to his now dirty and embarrassing thoughts.

"Well, this is...different." Jake would usually be playing on his computer, drawing, or. Well, anything other than being with someone. He walked to his bed and sat down, bouncing on the springs as he did so. He started to plan out what happened today: "I woke up, spent a 'good' time waking up, put on clothes, ate, walked to class, was outed as gay, made a friend, and will hopefully make more if the others accept him. But what if they don't?"Seth's words started playing in his head. Jake sighed bringing his paws up to cup his face exhaling deeply," What if I can't accept myself, truly accept myself. I can dress skimpy, talk and hell even be intimate with a guy, I hope, but what if I can't stick with that guy or even find one." He'll just have to wait to find out.

Jake checked his phone. He had three and a half hours left until he had to leave, he had no classes today anymore so why not go for a walk. He got up shaking his tail to get it moving again. He'll leave behind his headphones it's best if he thinks for a little bit. Slowly he made his way out of his dorm and outside, taking in the refreshing fresh air and listened to the bustling noises of college life.

The otter made his way to the center campus before turning back around and heading to a smaller one away from his dorm. He picked up his pace wanting to get to his more secluded spot and not have to be near many people, the scents of everyone were gathering in his nose making him stuffy. "I can't even imagine having a nose like a fox." He thought getting closer to his path. He discovered it about two months ago and was surprised that not more people made it a hang out. It was on a small ravine of water that was filled with peacefulness and only the sounds of nature. Jake got on the path that leads to the ravine, he only found it when he tripped and fell down the small bush ridden hill hiding it.

He pushed past his way through the bushes finally arrived in his purgatory. He sat down on the grass going as close as he would to the edge of the water, sometimes when he was sure no one was around he would skinny dip in there but it wasn't the time for that now.

The memory unknowingly led his paw to his cloth covered sheath already feeling it's growing heat. He could deal with this tonight when he had his lube and his toys. He hasn't been stretched in a while, but he was all alone no one else is or should be around. He let his paw slide in his shorts and under his underwear feeling his growing length slide out of him. His paw squeezed around it causing shivers to run down his body and pleasure to meddle with his mind. His paw started to slowly stroke up and down focusing on his tip. Jake used his paw pads to massage his shaft, he reached further down to grip his brown sack squeezing slightly feeling them jiggle around produce his life giving seed. He played around with them before returning to his cock now showing proudly in the air ready to be milked. Jake could smell his scent in the air easily, he brought the tip of his thumb to his slit covering it in his pre before sticking it in his mouth savoring the salty taste.

"Hey would this spot be okay!" A voice called out near him. Jake jumped when he heard the yell, quickly shoving his diminishing shaft back in his shorts where they should have stayed. He got up and started walking away from his not so secret spot feeling his shorts tent out in the front. He rushed past bushes but almost ran into a squirrel,.

"I'm sorry about that, hey I'm..." But she trailed off when she noticed Jake's tented shorts.

"Sorry." He quickly said rushing past her.

"Hey what happened?" He heard a male voice behind him say. "Um.uh Nothing why?" She responded back. At least there are a few nice strangers out there.

.................................

Jake quickly made it back to the main campus and with no evidence of what just happened on him except maybe for a permanent blush. The otter shoved paw into his pocket to pull out his phone and checked the lock screen. It read 17:00 over his wallpaper of a fox he drew in his classes. "Should I walk around for a bit or go back home and wait for an hour?" He asked himself not knowing what to do in his spare time. Students started to leave their respective buildings, most of them not having any classes left for the day. "Home it is." Jake started to speed walk wanting to avoid the mass of young adults going every which way.

He was able to avoid any confrontations that would repeat the morning's events, or what happened at the pond and got in his room with his dignity. "Forty minutes." Jake told himself, then he would be with people that he can't wait to see. He's been waiting years for something like this to happen, he was ecstatic when he found out that Seth was, uh interested in men too forget bout twelve other people. Jake sat down on his desk chair and made sure to spin around on the wheeled chair at least once before resting his head on the wooden desk.

He wondered if he should google something like how to act cool in a group or how to not be shy or even better how do you do live the way you were made when you were told it was evil? You know what, that would probably be on there. He opened his laptop but was interrupted by a knock on the door. There goes the help from incomplete strangers. He checked himself in the mirror and adjusted his tank top before opening the door. He was greeted with Seth's Pink nose and black muzzle."Hello cutie, ready?"

Great, Jake was already starting to stutter. "Oh, y-yeah." He walked out into the hallway and closed the door behind him.

"Easy, you'll be fine. I can keep you safe." Seth winked at him and bumped Jake's shoulder with his own shorter one and started walking. "What don't believe me? I can see it on your face" The rabbit chuckled. "Yeah, you're probably right. I hope you can run." Jake stared at him with wide eyes. "Easy killer, save those eyes for someone cute you see. Or is that why you're staring at me?" Jake turned his head forward and stared down the hall.

"Don't worry you'll have fun." Seth reassured him, something that Jake needed.

"Soo, will I know any of them?" Jake asked, trying to think of things to say.

"Most likely you won't most of the guys are, as stereotypical as it is are doing theater. I think two of them do an English major though." He answered trying to remember what they don't usually talk about even though they all go to the same college.

"How did you get involved with them if you do digital?"

"There was actually a small pride gathering here my first year. I met most of them there."

Jake started to tense up a bit." Wait, do all of you do parades and stuff like that. I'm not sure I can do that."

"Most of us do one if they are around here. And before you say it, no there are only a few of us that are activists. We all get together to have fun, we might go over someone's dorm to play video games, go to the coffee shop to hangout and gossip, we're a group of friends." Seth responded, calming Jake's nerves in the process.

" How long can we stay at the shop, doesn't it close at seven?" Jake wondered.

" Well since the school runs it we can have the shop for a few hours after it closes as "A Meeting For LGBT Members!" We just lie and say we're a school group."

"The school runs the shop?" Jake asked surprised of how much reach the school had.

"Yeah, why do you think a coffee shop closes at seven?" Seth laughed while opening the exit door for Jake.

"Ladies first." Seth said in a snotty waiter accent.

"The Audacity." Jake exclaimed walking out the door with the bunny hot on his heels.

"He lives, he has a funny side." Seth yelled, surprised that Jake was finally an emotion other than gratitude or fear.

"Shut up." Jake laughed slapping Seth lightly on the shoulder. Seth took it in stride and jumped back like Jake just hulk smashed him. They both laughed and continued their walk, talking back and forth until they arrived at their destination.

Jake stopped walking when they got there, Seth didn't notice until he had his paw on the door.

"You good?" He asked stepping back toward the otter.

"Scared." Jake responded honestly.

"Scared? How about anxious, shy? Scared is when you have a murderer coming after you." Seth told him. Jake just continued staring at nothing in particular.

"I talked to all of them before hand about you, they'll like you." Seth told him and pulled on Jake's arm slightly.

"Wait you told them about me?" Jake asked, knowing if he doesn't meet the group now Seth will do something like show them to his place so they could all meet.

"There! That's how you should feel, alive." Seth kept his paw on Jake but didn't tug again.

"Okay, but I'm blaming you if something goes wrong." Jake told him and started walking to the door.

"Duh." Seth answered back."What other way is there?" Jake opened the door this time with Seth now leading.

"Look who's finally here." A stallion yelled from the crowded booth in the middle of the shop. Seth tugged on Jake again when he stopped walking, leading both of them to the tables with six now eight people.

"Hey everyone! I've got someone for you all to meet." All the eyes turned to Jake. He gulped.

Jake opened his mouth and then closed it again. At Least at the bar he was drunk, and one other thing.

"Hello nice to meet you, I'm Paul." A bloodhound said extending a paw.

"Jake." He responded weakly, meeting Paul's paw and shaking it once before letting go to rub his elbow.

"How is it you always go after the shy one's Seth?" A fox in the middle of the booth said loudly enough to make Jake jump.

"Shut up, Don't listen to Max. No one else does." The rabbit shot back giving a glare to the fox that said quit it!

"You didn't deny it!" Max squealed.

"Come on, we don't want Jake to run off." The stallion told Max in a more forceful tone." I'm Flint, nice to meet you." He extended his hand as a fist. Jake connected his own with Flint's. There was a chorus of hey's and hello's from everyone else that Jake responded meekly too. He Saw Seth doing the same thing but being much more louder and flamboyantly.

"Come on, sit down." Flint pulled a chair out from a table and put it at the end of the booth that Seth was sitting at.

"Thank you." The otter told the former intimidating stallion and sat down.

"Sooo everyone how have you all been?" Seth asked now bouncing up and down on his chair.

"Tired." "Bored." "Depressed." "Horny." Guess who said the last one. " Anxious." There was silence for a second. "What a happy bunch." Jake said aloud mostly to himself.

"Ha you said it." Flint slapped Jake out of the shoulder, almost knocking him into the table.

"Easy Jake, I know there's a table of attractive guys but try and settle down." Max told him and winked. Jake didn't know how to respond to that, he blushed at first then surprisingly he laughed.

"HA, you're paying for my dinner!" Max pointed at Paul.

"Fine." The long eared dog reached into his pocket and handed Max a twenty.

"Did I miss something?" Jake asked Seth. Max responded for him.

"Seth told us that you were super shy and not talkative so I bet Paul that I could get you to laugh at my hilarious jokes. But he did leave out you were super cute." He winked at Jake again.

"Immature jokes more like." Flint quickly exhaled."What' your major." He turned his body to Jake.

"Digital arts, same as Seth. You?"

"Athletic training." He answered quietly.

"That's a major." Jake put his paws to his muzzle."I'm sorry I didn't mean that."

Flint chuckled." Don't worry that happens a lot."

"He's going to be around professional sports players if he gets his degree" Jake heard from someone in the other booth.

"More like rich, out of shape people" Flint responded to the voice.

"Or be featured in the 'Bad Dog' magazine." Max butted in earning a certain finger from Flint.

" What? Your gay and you have an attractive bod." That earned him a second. "You're certainly keeping Jake's attention." That earned him another from Jake. "You're rubbing him off already. Oh wait sorry rubbing off on him." A fourth finger now.

"Watch it, they might grow another paw." Seth giggled at their reaction. Jake was the first to put his digits down.

"Well since everyone is here who wants what?" Paul said loudly standing from inside the booth. Jake saw everyone's ears perk up, he even saw the tips of everyone else's in the booth to the side of them. After a wave of yells and paw's in the air holding money Paul scooted out from his seat and up to the cashier."Wait, Jake. What do you want?"

"Um, do they have soda?" He answered quietly not wanting the others to think he's childish.

" Never mind I know what to get you." Paul quickly responded after Jake's answer.

"You don't drink coffee?" Flint asked him, sounding skeptical.

"No, I never got the taste for it." He partially lied, his parents never believed in coffee or any unnatural products, even though it's almost all natural. Must have been the caffeine.

"Okay then, how about you tell us how you got a taste for other males? If you're going to join us you must go through initiation." Max waved his hands mystically. Jake got quiet for a second.

"I'd rather not spoil your or my evening thank you very much. Saying it once was enough." Jake told the fox, leaning back and looking away trying to get as much space as he could.

"Oooh a juicy story, we've all got time." The fox quipped rubbing his paws together.

"If he doesn't want to tell it he doesn't have to." Flint said, cutting off Seth's open muzzle.

"To put it simple bad family." Seth told the table. He looked at Jake giving him a small reassuring smile. That shut Max up and put his skewered ears and dopey face into what would be his normal one.

"Sorry to break character, I don't do this often but I'm not going to take that any farther." Max looked around the table and just like that it was back." But I bet Flint wants to take his relationship with Jake further."

"I called him cute once, ONCE when Seth showed us a picture. You all did." The brown and white stallion exclaimed sitting straighter.

Jake squeaked out. "You have a picture of me? Wait you called me cute?"

"I was just." Paul cut Flint off by placing the coffees on the table.

"There you go drink up." He announced, every one went in for the cups all at once. Causing a small war of paws and fur flying everywhere.

"And for you Jake here is some." His voice was getting louder and then fell flat."Tea. The cashier said she liked it so... Just try it." Paul handed it to him. Jake looked backwards toward the counter and saw the squirrel cashier, wait she looks really familiar. Holy crap that's!

"Uh, you going to take it." Paul shook the cup toward him. Jake took the warm cup in his paws.

"I'm not sure, Jake will you take it or give it." Seth called out. Jake almost spewed out the tea he just sipped.

"You're supposed to be on my side!" He responded almost yelling.

"What? We don't judge, a top needs a bottom or else he just has his paw." Seth giggled.

"No I. I-um I'm not sure I." Jake stuttered out not sure what to say.

"He's had enough guys, quit it." Flint told them, he'd be growling if he wasn't a horse.

"Flint's right, just wanted to show Jake what he's getting into. We love you, you're our gayby." Seth told Jake making him feel lost for words, in a good way this time.

"Back on track, Paul how was your interview?" The group stayed and chat for a while enjoying their coffee and tea, happy being a group of socialites. Jake stayed quiet most of the time still not comfortable enough to be the center of attention that everyone is listening to.

He stayed for a few hours enjoying not being alone and made a few friends at the same time, something that he hasn't felt in a while.


If you made it this far I need your help deciding what will come of the story. Jake is open to relationships and I need your ideas of who he should go for,.Flint the lovable stallion, Seth the very open bunny, or a new or previously mentioned character in the story such as Max, Paul, and Mr Jason. Just comment below of who you think Jake should gain a stronger relation ship with, thank you and love you.
