I love my new threat that I put in this story. I'll let you know right now,since its in the first paragraph, it involves filing cabnets...
Anyway,a couple days ago, my internet broke. I wasn't very inspired to write. Now its fixed and I got a chapter up! I don't know what's going to come after this chappie,so bear with me. Also, Tormod's poor grammar in the...um, sleeping scene, is intended. My friends and I talk that way to each other,sometimes.
Anyway,I hope you like that chapter.
It was a couple more days into the holiday vacation that Tormod began feeling better. Ed was at his house, but Madison wasn't. That was because Tormod threatened to shove Ed's head into a filing cabnet and violently and repeatedly slam the door closed(sarcasm: yeah,Tormod's definitely over Vika...)if he brought Madison.
Sothe slept over at Tormod's house again the night before. Sothe was there now,too. He remembered the morning well,and he was scarred.
Sothe had slept on the floor. When he woke up at 10:00 that morning,he was suprised,and slightly disturbed. He woke up and felt a warm presence near him. He turned towards the warmth and saw a head of shaggy,red fur invading his head's bubble. It turned out to be Tormod's head.
"Get away from me!" Sothe had screamed almost directly into his friend's ear.
"No. You is cozy." Tormod said,trying to fall asleep again.
"You're in my bubble. Get out of my bubble! I will shove your face into a filing cabnet and violently and repeatedly slam the door!" Sothe warned.
"No." Tormod said again.
"How long have you been like this?"
"Since four in the morning."
"Holy freakin'- Get away!!"
Sothe shuddered now as he remembered the eventful moments of 3 hours ago. He still couldn't look at Tormod with the same face he always had. However, you still didn't have to look very deep to find that Sothe thought it was funny. It showed because he smiled,even as Tormod explained the event to Ed.
Ed turned to Sothe, "So,you slept with Tormod?"
Sothe tried holding back a large laugh,but he couldn't.
"I always thought you'd be a straight virgin all through high school. It turns out I was wrong. You're really a dirty,gay man-whore."
Sothe and Tormod laughed so hard that Tormod,for once,forgot all about Vika.
"Wow." Sothe said,trying to hold back his laughter for one second, then he got serious and realized something," Oh. I gotta go to work. Bye,guys."
"You're leaving me?! That weekend in Italy meant nothing to you!! I bought your spaghetti! And when you "accidentally fell" into the fountain, I helped you out and paid for your broken scapula!"
"Wow!" Sothe said in response,then headed out the door.
"I thought what we had was special!!" Tormod screamed at Sothe.
"Tormod, I never thought I'd ask you this,but,are you gay?" Ed asked.
"No,I was just joking."
"I hoped. That's what it sounded like,but,you never know with you."
"Yeah,aren't I great?"
"Right."

"I have the sudden urge to shout at the top of my lungs the chorus of Good Enough,by Evanescence." Sothe said,hoping nobody heard. He was standing at the counter,examining the customers. Unfortunately,Mia heard Sothe's comment.
"Really?" Mia said,acting fascinated, "That's not weird at all."
"Your sarcasm isn't hurting me."
"I don't care."
Apparently, Geoffrey heard Sothe,too,because he came up behind him singing the chorus of 'Good Enough'.
"Join in,Sothe." Geoffrey started, "You know you want to."
Sothe laughed nervously, "N-no I don't."
Geoffrey just smiled and walked away, humming the same song.
"Great,now you've got it stuck in my head." Geoffrey said.

The next day, at the end of Sothe and Mia's work day, Mia appeared to have something on her mind. She didn't look as happy as she did before.
"Sothe,there's something that's been bugging me." Mia said.
"It shows." Sothe said.
"Am I...attractive."
"You do realize i'm in a relationship,right?"
"Just answer the question honestly."
"I did."
"No,you just asked me a question."
"That was my answer."
"You answered my question with a question?"
"Aha! So you admit its a good answer!"
"No, I ju- Okay,you know what?! Just answer the freakin' question!"
"Um,yes! Yes! I guess!"
"Ike just broke up with me." Mia said quietly,looking down at her feet.
"Oh,I'm sorry." Sothe said.
"That doesn't help."
"Would a hug help?"
"I guess."
Mickey walked into the store.
"Sothe,i'm- Whoa! Hello!" Mickey said.
"Hi,Mickey." Sothe said,letting go of Mia slowly.
"What's going on here?" Mickey asked.
"What? I was just comforting Mia."
"You don't have to comfort her by hugging her!"
"Well,yes I do. That's how I was taught to comfort."
"Who taught you how to comfort people? Your dad?"
Sothe suddenly got really angry. He knew what Mickey was implying and he knew what she thought happened. He didn't want to deal with her right now.
"I'm leaving." was Sothe's simple comment.
Mia looked at Mickey with a face that said "what did he do wrong?",while Mickey's face was saying "stay away". Mickey walked out the door and headed to her house. She basically followed Sothe, glaring at him when he wasn't looking back.

Sothe was at Tormod's house again, with Tormod,Ed and Leo.
"Aw,redwood's first fight." Tormod said. By redwood,he meant Sothe. From Tormod's point of view,Sothe was tall.
"I just don't get it. Mickey and I have never fought before. And she's never overreacted like this before." Sothe said.
"I'm sensing some female issues are involved here." Ed commented.
"Did you seriously just talk that way about my girlfriend?" Sothe asked.
"Hey,it happens. It happens." Ed said.
"Can we get off this topic,please?!" Leo asked.
"Which topic?" Tormod asked. He hadn't been paying attention to the last part of the conversation.
"Exactly! Good boy!" Leo said,clapping.
"Hey! Hey,relationship crisis here!" Sothe said.
"Oh,boo-freakin'-hoo! I've had more relationship troubles than you! Not many more,but still more!" Tormod said.
Seriously,what am I going to do?" Sothe asked.
"Just let her cool off and then go explain what really happened." Ed told Sothe.
"Fine. What do you want to do know?"
"I have to go meet Madison." Ed answered.
"Of course you do." Sothe said.
"You staying here tonight?" Tormod asked Leo,and Sothe.
"Sure."
"Yeah."
Quack!...Random...
So,i'm sorry for making you wait. I'm sorry for this slightly dumb chapter. I hope you still like the story,though. I'm just glad that I actually wrote something again! Review!
