It was a silent night, a night full of joy as the citizens of the city gently shops, Christmas a week away as the citizens struggles to get their last gifts. Down below a man wearing a hoodie walks out of a hospital gazing up to the sky, his face shrouded in shade. "Christmas...how long was I gone?" He lifts a burnt picture to his face a tear drips as he stares at a coyote in a lab coat a pair of glasses over his eyes. "My friend...you said you would be the first that I will see...did you abandon me?"
The hooded man continues to walk as a fedora hat flies into his hands, the man holds onto it as he gazes to the bright moon. "Why do I feel so empty...it's like my soul is in pieces." As he continues walking he enters an alleyway, the sound of snickering plays out from behind as men and a couple of girls surrounds him, knives, clubs, baseball bats, and chains with them.
"Look who we got here, what's wrong kid got no where to go huh, just leave everything you have and we will let you pass through with only a bruise or two." One with a purple dyed mohawk walks behind him as he checks the man out seeing a fluffy tail attached. "Yo boys we found ourselves one of them animal men, tell us boy you related to the Loonatics?"
The hooded man tilts head. "Loonatics? What's with that, they a group of botanists or something?" The gang chuckles. "Oh your from out of town huh?" The purple mohawked one grabs the man in the rump. "Damn for a fur and a boy he has a nice butt on him, tell you what kid just let me and my boys have a good time and we can let you slide." They cackle like hyenas.
One with a red mullet grins as he pins the man to a wall. "He's not saying no guess he likes that." He reaches to the man's belt as he starts to remove it, a large grin on his face as he gazes up to the face of the man seeing two ghostly blue eyes, a small blue flame igniting from his forehead. "Don't you dare touch me!" With those words blue flames ignites around each member of the gang before they start to freeze up.
"Hey! Stop it! We were kidding!" The man in the hood glares as he grips his hand into a fist. "Then die peacefully you rodents." Screams are heard as large ice spikes forms piercing each one in the heart. The man holds his head as he punches a wall repeatedly. "Shut up...Shut up...SHUT UP!" He screams out as voices yells in his head, the whole alley ignites in blue flames freezing everything in the area.
The voices soon ends as he holds his head, blood dripping from his hands as he gazes up to the sky. "What have I became?" He squats down holding self a tear falls.
Tell me, oh tell me, the way it works
Who is that inside of me?
Here in this broken-down,
broken-down world,
you laugh, without seeing a thing
I'm just so damaged,
I hold my breath and freeze
Breakable, unbreakable;
shakable, unshakable
When I found you, it shook me
In this twisted word,
I'm gradually growing transparent and vanishing
Don't look for me; don't look at me
I don't wish to hurt you in a world
Of someone's else's imagining
Remember who I am
In a tower so well known to all of the citizens, a brown coyote exits his room stretching as he yawns, a white coat over his arms as he looks through notes on a clipboard, as he casually reads a familiar blue and purple feathered roadrunner pops up behind him staring down. "Hey Tech you ok?" The coyote named Tech stares up and shrugs. "Yeah just bored is all, you got a postcard from the rabbits and Slam yet Rev?" Rev shows two postcards, in one shows a male and female rabbit, Ace and Lexi as they are in Hawaii, the second card shows a muscular brown furred tazmanian devil named Slam in Austrailia. "Yep, they are currently having the time of their lives."
Tech nods and lays back staring seeing a black feathered duck walks pass yawning. "Now we need him out...Rev?" "Yeah?" Tech gently removes his coat staring. "Shouldn't you be with your parents and brother I mean it's near Christmas after all." Rev lays back. "The folks are going to be in Florida, Rip on the otherhand is coming here for Christmas, he should arrive in by tomorrow."
Tech gives a slight nod as he tinkers on a gadget that Rev hasn't saw before. "Hey what's that?" Tech stares at Rev sighing. "It's kinda of an extractor, it's meant for someone currently in a hospital, you see two years back when the meteor struck an odd rock most likely from the meteor itself had struck into the spinal cord of someone I use to know. Normal extraction methods had failed in taking it out, so I'm making this to remove the stone."
Rev stares and leans close. "What happened to your friend?" Tech looks down sad. "I don't wish to talk about it, we haven't spoken in two years, I would visit him every day until well I became a Loonatic, now I barely visit at all." Rev stares whining. "Well Tech let's visit him now I mean if what you said is true then your possibly hurting his feelings for not being with him."
Tech stares about to speak up till Rev grabs his hand. "No is not and answer now." He begins running dragging Tech with him. In 10 minutes flat they arrive at a hospital just laying right at the border of the city, when Rev stops Tech stumbles down eyes wide gasping for breath the world spinning in his eyes. "Rev don't ever do that again." He covers his mouth feeling like he is gonna barf.
Rev smiles and pets Tech. "Come on let's get going I wanna meet this friend of yours." Rev walks dragging Tech along with him, they reach the receptionist as Tech stands up. "Um is Shiba Kitsune ready for visitors?" The receptionist stares up. "Umm sorry sir but appearantly he just checked out." Tech's eyes widens in surprise yet joy. "What but he's been knocked out for two years now, he's up and walking about?" She nods.
Tech leaps in joy smiling. "You by chance know where he went to?" "Sorry sir we have no clue." Tech nods and starts walking out Rev following behind. "So this firend of yours what is he like?" Tech stares at Rev smiling. "You'll see once we find him."
As they walk the hooded man comes out of an alley they pass holding self. "Shut up...get out of my head...your lying to me!" Tech and Rev turns to see him and heads over. "You ok?" The hooded man looks up seeing Tech, his eyes widens as he slowly begins to speak before he whines holding his hands, blood dripping from the knuckles as it slowly freezes up. Tech stares and grabs some bandages as he wraps his hands. "There that should help, where's your parents?"
The hooded man growls as he smacks the coyote across his face. "N-Never talk bout them, never bring those monsters up in my life again!" He steps back as Tech stares. "Hey you ok calm down your going to hurt yourself." The hooded man's icy blue eyes glows under his hood as a gust of wind blows it off revealing a white fox, blue flames gently ignited on his forehead flowing eratically.
Tech stares eyes wide. "Shiba? That you?" The fox steps back as the flames grows. "Go away, your not real, your just the voice in my head, go away, go away, GO AWAY!: He holds his head screaming as fire ignites in a circle around him, ice spikes up imprisoning the fox.
Tech's eyes widens at this. "Shiba! Stop it's me calm down please!" Shiba shakes head as he squats down hugging his knees. "Monsters...monsters everywhere, your not real, your not real, your not-" The flame on his head grows large as the ice grows, an arm rising from the ground made of ice as it attempts to grab Tech.
Tech stares in fear as Rev runs grabbing him dragging him away. "Tech what's going on!?" Tech simply stares as he holds himself. "Shiba must've had gotten a power from the meteor like us but being unconscious for two years he must not know how to control it." Tech stands up staring as a tornado of snow and ice blows around the poor fox who holds himself crying.
"I'm alone...my heart feels so cold...am I dead?" Ice forms above forming a cross as icy chains wraps around him dragging him onto it as he cries. "Let me go!" Tech stares in horror for his friend. "Rev I need you to run around him as fast you can make sure the ice melts I need to get to him!" Rev nods as he rushes running into circles around the icy tornado fire igniting as he runs.
The fox's tears falls as he hangs his head. "You promised me you would be there for me...where are you...Stop it...shut up..." Large needles of ice forms above about to be thrusted into Shiba. Tech rushes in as he brings a metal pole to him. He begins chipping at the ice cross's chains. "Shiba I'm here for you! Wake up please!" Shiba stares at Tech as he struggles. "I'm right here for you, wake up from this, don't let it control you please!"
Shiba sniffles as the flame on his head begins to shrink. "Tech..." "That's right I'm right here!" he hits a chain shattering it off his hand as he tries to pull him off, as he struggles Shiba begins to cry. "You said you would be there for me...two years I was alone! You forgotten of me!" Tech stares up whining. "I did not forget of you, everyday I spent a thought of you never escaped my mind! Your my closest friend and I'll never forget the things we shared together! Please let me save you now, let me save you like I should've then!" He grabs Shiba's arms pulling as hard as he can, the ice cracking as Shiba closes his eyes smiling.
"Tech...Thank you..." The ice shatters as Tech falls down his arm crushed by a large block of ice, Shiba laying on top of him, the flame on his head now out as he lays asleep. Tech removes his arm that was crushed as it heals at a celluar rate. Rev runs up staring at the poor fox as he pets him. "It's ok now right?" Tech simply nods.
One hour passes as the fox wakes up in a bed room, he gazes around to see no one. Shiba stands up whining as his hands bleed a bit. He turns to a mirror seeing a blue circular stone lodged there, his skin looking like it had merged with it. He looks around seeing some clothes laying on a dresser, he looks down blushing to see he's only in his underwear which is a bright blue thong. He quickly gets dressed as he walks out of the room entering the living area staring out a large window that overlooks the entire city. "Wow."
The new clothes he's currently wearing is a pair of booty shorts that's colored black, as well as a red tank top, a few bandages around his knuckles. As he stares at the view through the window Rev walks up behind Shiba smiling and speaks up startling him. "Hey there guess we are room mates." Shiba turns quickly staring at Rev who is wearing the same outfit as Shiba.
"W-Who are you?" States the startled fox as Rev circles around him. "Rev Runner, your new room mate, you were selected to be my room mate since well my brother is taking the guest room." Shiba stares nodding as Rev smiles more. "You know I just noticed you an me have similar body types, we are the same size and weight plus my clothes fits you perfectly." Shiba looks down blushing a bit. "Yeah guess so."
As they chat Tech enters the room smiling. "Hey." Shiba looks towards Tech eyes wide and hugs him. "Thank you so much Tech." He smiles gently at him and nuzzles. Soon later Shiba meets Duck but really doesn't pay attention to him. Soon at a dinner table Rev sets up food smiling. "Hey Shiba tell me how do you know Tech?"
Shiba looks down a small blush. "We were classmates in high school then became room mates at Acme University." Rubs head blushing more as he lowers his head. "I also had asked him out once but got rejected." Duck spews his coffee as he stares. "Wait so your telling us that basically your gay?" Shiba nods as Rev blushes a bit. "Really that's so cool!" Shiba gazes up at Rev seeing the happy look on his face.
Duck face palms as he stares. Shiba tilts head staring. "What's wrong?" Tech stares smiling. "Guess it was good to room you with Rev, last month Rev had actually came out of the closet so to speak of." Shiba's eyes widens as he turns to Rev who is smiling greatly. "He's gay as well?" Rev nods and winks. "Great to meet someone who's like me." Shiba stares eyes wide happily as he hugs Rev.
They ate their meal and Shiba heads to Rev's bedroom smiling as he lays on the bed, he looks around noticing there is no second bed. "Wait..." Rev rushes in and taps Shiba's shoulder. "Something wrong?" Shiba looks up. "Umm Rev there's no second bed." "I know there isn't I thought we can share one bed." Shiba can't hide the blush that's now forming as Rev lays down next to Shiba.
"How long did you had a crush on Tech?" "About a year, he was my first crush but I got over it after being rejected." Rev gently nudges as he nuzzles. "Was that the first time you came out?" Shiba gently hangs head. "Yeah...I eventually came out to my folks a week since I gotten over the rejection...mom mom was supportive, yet my father had fumed in rage, he had harmed me and ruined my life, you see he was also the chairman of Acme University, as I came out, he expelled me as well as..." Tears slowly falls. "As well as disowned me." Rev stares at Shiba as he cries.
"Hey it'll be ok calm down." He gently hugs him. Shiba just looks up and nuzzles him. "It was the same day the meteor his...the day I fell unconscious." Rev gives Shiba a small peck on the cheek. "If your father doesn't love you for you then you can't really call him your parent, besides no matter who dislikes you for being you, you can always trust that someone will love you for you."
Shiba stares smiling as he gently kisses Rev's cheek. "Your right, thanks Rev." "No problem." They smile to each other until they look into each other's eyes, their cheeks beginning to redden. They draw closer to each other as they gently kiss each other lovingly, their arms wrapped around each other's bodies as they kiss passionatly. As they part Shiba blushes along with Rev smiling. "Guess we became something more than room mates huh?" Rev nods as he goes back into the kiss.
