Ray Kon felt like shit.
And that was saying something, seeing as how Ray wasn't one to cuss, nor get himself worked up enough - emotionally - to feel so horrible.
But at the current moment, Ray really did feel horrible.

It had started out as a routine visit from the white tigers. Lee was unintentionally hinting at Ray to "confess" to Mariah, Mariah was hanging all over him, while Kevin was somewhere goofing off and Gary was having an eating contest with Tyson.
He didn't remember who won that contest, either……
Then it happened. Mariah GROPPED him. His little sister figure, the one he had always looked at as nothing more then a friend, sister at the most, ran her hand over his groin, and blushed, smiling coyly up at him. He exploded, standing up, making her stumble to catch herself. Everyone looked up, startled.
"Mariah! Whats wrong with you! Ive told you a thousand times that I look at you like a little sister, why cant you just accept that and find someone else?!" The raven haired neko jin yelled, and the pink haired girl flared up.
"Whats wrong with me? Whats wrong with YOU! Im the best you will ever be able to get, Ray Ray! I don't know why you wont just except me! Is there someone else?! You almost act like your gay or something!"
He growled, eyes slitting.
"Shes right, Ray. Theres no one in the village better then her, you," Lee started, but his best friend, or ex-best friend interrupted.
"Don't interfere Lee! And stop being so full of yourself Mariah! That's one of the reasons that I could never except you as a mate! Your too,"
"You never even defended yourself!!" The girl yelled suddenly, and Ray blanched, realizing his mistake, as did the others in the room. "Are you really gay, Ray? ANSWER ME!" Mariah was on the verge of tears. Ray swallowed thickly.
"I,Im bi."
The white tigers were gone not ten minutes later, and Ray had yet to unlock himself from his room.

Remembering how his former teammates and friends had simply abandoned him brought tears to his eyes, again. And again, he pushed them down.
They abandoned him. So WHY should HE be the one to cry?
There were plenty of reasons, his subconscious reminded himself, as it showed some of the best memories he had with the white tigers.
Ray broke down.

"Kon. Are you thinking about coming out anytime soon?" Kais voice demanded, and Ray sniffled. If there was one thing that he knew, it was that his current team wouldn't abandon him.
He slowly stood, and opened the door. Kais eyes widened, seeing the red eyed, tear streaked face of the neko jin. "Ray, you look like shit." A bitter laugh escaped him.
"Yea. Feel like it, too." He said, and Kai shook his head.
"The others are worried about you. They told me what happened. One call, and I can have a bomb dropped on that shitty village." Kai offered, and Ray laughed. Kai was actually good at cheering people up.
"Thanks, Kai. Just knowing I have that power is enough. The others…..and you…..don't care….?" Kai snorted.
"Why should I? Im gay. And the others are your friends, dumb ass. They wont just abandon you over something like your sexuality." Ray sniffled.
"The white tigers did….."
Kai sighed, and put a hand on the neko jins shuolder. "Ray, I know how close you were to them. But now, were your friends, and were worried about you. So buck up a bit, alright? It hurts, but,"
"I know." Ray said, a slight smile on his face at Kais attempt at comforting him.
He sucked at it, but it was the thought that counted.
"Good. Now lets go downstairs." He said, and Ray nodded as he followed his captain.
No, Ray corrected himself.
His friend.
