As Tori finally made it to the men's restroom, she faltered a bit but shook her head and made her way inside.
She saw a golden retriever and a gray wolf using the urinals and said, more like demanded, "Anyone who's not a mustelid, get out NOW!"
Both canines whimpered in fear and could tell the mink was dead serious. Zipping up their pants and bolting out of the restroom quickly, the golden retriever and gray wolf didn't ask questions or protest.
Tori calmed down a bit and tried to gather her bearings. She knew Freddy came in here. Did the neurotic ferret come in and leave so soon? Tori tried to swallow back her tears but heard a flushing toilet near one of the stalls.
She looked over at the second stall, and noticed orange foot paws showing from the door. Dark blue jeans around the legs and the sound of muffled crying.
Tori's heart broke in two. Hearing Freddy's quiet sobbing, Tori slowly approached the second stall and gently knocked on its door.
"Freddy? It's me, Tori. I know I'm not supposed to be in here but I got really worried about you. Please say something."
A few quiet minutes passed by until the voice shakingly replied, "S-s-something."
Tori knew it was Freddy for sure. He really did sound as if he'd been crying while holed up in the bathroom.
Tori could feel tears brimming in her violet eyes. Why? Why did this have to happen? This was all Mark's fault. Why did that asshole have to go and ruin everything for the both of them? Mainly her. But she didn't want to focus on herself right now. Freddy was the injured party in this whole situation.
Tori swallowed the hard lump in her throat and said, "I'm so so sorry for all this happening Freddy. You didn't deserve any of that. At all. Mark's just a butt. He seemed kinda drunk in the first place and he went way too far. I apologize in advance for his behavior. And mine."
Freddy hiccupped a bit from all the crying he had done, sniffling some. He finally found his voice.
"B-but it's true T-Tori. I-I d-don't stand a-a ch-chance with a g-girl like y-you. O-or a-any girl f-for th-that m-matter. I-I really a-am a-a chump a-and a-a l-loser."
Tori could feel her tears cascading down her muzzle now. It really hurt to hear Freddy talk about himself that way.
"Freddy. Could you please open your stall door when you're finished? Don't worry about washing your paws, I have hand sanitizer. I just want to tell you something face-to-face."
Another few quiet minutes passed by, and the sound of a toilet flushing was heard. Tori backed away from the stall and prepared her words carefully.
Freddy finally emerged from the stall, looking like Hell. His eyes were bloodshot from crying and he still had some tears rolling down his orange muzzle. He sniffled and tried to look away from Tori. This really was embarrassing. Crying in front of a beautiful mink who probably had little to no interest in him after what just occurred. Freddy prepared himself for rejection.
But Tori interrupted his thoughts and asked in a gentle tone, "Freddy may I see your paws?"
Freddy was confused at the request but complied anyhow.
Tori had a small bottle of hand sanitizer and put some of the clear liquid into Freddy's paws. She then started to gently rub the hand sanitizer in is paws, making sure it was on there good.
The gorgeous mink then gazed up at Freddy, who was really trying to avoid eye contact.
Tori knew she didn't need words at a time like this. This required action.
She then said in a gentle manner, blushing pink some, "Would you mind if you closed your eyes for a minute or two?"
Freddy was rather confused now. Why was Tori blushing and why did he need to close his eyes? But he didn't voice these questions and complied to Tori's request.
Freddy closed his eyes and awaited for a slap on his cheek.
Tori made sure the ferret's eyes were closed shut, and drew closer to the taller mustelid. She closed her eyes and leaned forward, her lips tracing Freddy's lips. She then wrapped her arms around his furry neck and pressed her lips firmly against his own.
Freddy's eyes shot wide open, his pupils constricted and his heart pumping wildly. He wondered if Tori could feel his heart racing inside his chest. His muzzle, neck and ears completely red from the fierce blush that crept upon his face.
Tori wasn't aware of his eyes opened, she continued kissing Freddy. Her feelings pouring through this kiss. It was the only way to let Freddy know that she really liked him and wanted to know him better.
Freddy suddenly felt something inside of him click. It was warm. It was wonderful. And now he was wanting it more than ever. Pretty soon, Freddy's eyes closed and he wrapped his arms around Tori's beguiling waist. He started to kiss Tori back gently and did his very best not to do anything that would make Tori uncomfortable. His parents did raise him to be a gentleman after all.
The two mustelids finally separated and came up for air. Tori still had her arms wrapped around Freddy's neck, while Freddy's arms were still around Tori's slender waist. Both were blushing and could only hear their breathing over the pounding music from outside the restroom.
Tori finally spoke up, her voice soft and shy, "I really do like you Freddy. I really want to get to know you better if that's what you want?"
Freddy gulped and replied meekly, "I want that to."
Tori gave a soft smile, saying in a feathery whisper, "Why don't we leave this club? It's overwhelming isn't it?"
Freddy felt his face turn a deep crimson and gave a nervous smile.
"O-okay," Freddy stuttered.
Tori still had the same soft smile on her muzzle and gently took her left paw into Freddy's right paw and led him out of the restroom and towards the exit of Animal House.
