Kody laid on her bed staring up at her ceiling. Pepper had only just left a few moments ago. Kody’s mom had returned home from a late-night shift at the hospital. Picked up Pepper and was on her way to taking her home before she crashed Last night had been… interesting. Xander, Pepper’s love interest and family friend had visited under the assumption that he was meeting a random girl from a streaming site. Instead, he found Kody and Pepper waiting for him. She giggles a bit to herself when she remembered his shocked expression when she had opened the door. He admitted to have been suspicious when he had seen the locations her address was. But had never honestly expected it to have actually been her. Especially not to find Pepper waiting for him. Her mind moves to the content expression on Pepper’s face once they had finished. How she had thanked Kody herself for helping set it all up. She felt a swell of happiness. She had helped her best friend hookup with her crush. And even if it didn’t totally seal the deal at least she had helped close the gap. At least… she should have felt happy. Well, she DID feel happy for helping her. But there was something else too. A hollow feeling in her chest as she thought of seeing them together. Why didn’t she feel Happier for her best friend? She wasn’t sure who’s stamina she was more impressed with. Xander for keeping up with Pepper’s seemingly insatiable appetite. Or how much Pepper could take and keep wanting more despite having JUST had her cherry popped. In ways she had to admit she was feeling a bit envious… even JEALOUS at not being included. “Who says I’m not gunna?” Had been her reply when asked by a viewer why she wasn’t the one getting fucked. Instead, she had been the loyal friend. Got some fun caught on stream for the pervs then let them have their time together. By the time they had finally finished, Xander was too tired to have given her any attention even if she had dared ask. Maybe that’s why. She thinks wryly. Watching her best friend get railed by a hunky adult cougar. Someone who had practically raised her. Then, not even get so much as a lick of affection. That would bother anyone right? It fit well enough. But, was that really it. Two things nagged her. One was how she could see he still had misgivings about dating her. Yes, he hadn’t seemed to bothered about giving her the D. But what why wouldn’t when put in a situation like that? Two was how she had felt when she had watched them going at it. Guilt gnawed at her belly when she thought about how jealous she felt. As much as she wanted to blame it all on hormones, and not blame on herself. She knew herself better to know that that wasn’t it entirely. Sighing she rolls over and pulls open the drawer next to her bed. Rummaging through it, she feels around for something. After a moment of haphazard searching her paw brushes against something smooth. She pulls it out and stares dully at the dildo in her paws. It worked well enough. But after watching her bestie get railed by the real deal… She growls a bit in frustration and starts to kick off her shorts when she hears her mother call out to her. Jumping up she tries to get to the door before her mother barges in she instead falls flat with a loud bump. She groans in pain as she curses herself for forgetting the shorts around her ankles. To her horror her mother had heard the sound, ran up and was now in her door frame staring at her daughter, naked from the waist down with her butt in the air. “What on earth are you doing!?” her mother asks incredulously. “O-oww… I-I just tripped trying to uh…. Change out of these shorts.” She invents, taking a quick glance to where her dildo had rolled luckily out of site. “Good friend child. You gave me a heart attack!” she scolds, luckily not pressing the issue. “S-sorry.” Kody says wincing as she rolls over into a sitting position. “Thanks for the view” her mother says suddenly rolling her eyes and turning around. “Now, if you are done hurting yourself and flashing your mother, I bought some fast-food breakfast. Help yourself. I’ll be up around one. Feeling her cheeks flush she presses her legs back together and glares as her mother as she walks away. Huffing she stands up gingerly. Checks for any broken bones. Then slides up her shorts again and goes to collect her breakfast. While munching on a cheese muffin sandwich her phone buzzes. Glancing down at the preview she’s surprised its Xander, not Pepper. Curiously she unlocks her phone and opens up her messenger. “Hey there Dakota. Sorry I didn’t say this last night but thanks for setting up that meeting last night.” “Oh it’s no problem ^.^” “I still can’t believe I got to do that with Pepper! ^^” “ “what do you mean? :O” “Well, it’s just that I’d have never imagined her going that far. You know?” Kody chuckled at this. He had a point. Prim and proper Pepper hardly seemed the type to go and basically ask the guy she had a crush on (who was many years older than she) to give her the D. “Yaaaaah! She surprised me too ^^ So proud of her! ;D” “lol. Pity you didn’t get any attention yourself though ” Kody froze a bit feeling her cheeks burn a bit. She hadn’t expected that to be brought up. “ahah! Yeaaaah! It’s ok though! That night was mainly for Pepper ^.^” “True, but I was looking forward to streaming with that naughty kitten I met on stream. ;P As much fun as it was, it could have been double the fun!” “Saying you wanted to do me too huh? ;P” “Of course >;3” Kody bit her lip as she replied. In the back of her mind, she heard part of her mind shouting; Oh no you don’t! This is the guy Pepper likes! Your best friend in the whole world! Yeah but, I didn’t start this. HE did! She reasons back as she keeps up being coy and mischievous with Xander. That’s worse! You HAVE to tell Pepper! She needs to know he isn’t going to be faithful! The loyal side of her mind yowls. That’s their problem. Not mine. She should have seen the writing on the wall. Plus, he never actually TOLD her that they were an item or dating anyways You KNOW Pepper won’t see it like that! You KNOW she is still head over heels and thinks that this was the fairy tale ending she had been imagining! Yeah? Well, that’s her own fault for being so naive then. “such a naughty cougar. First you bag the little snep you practically raised and now you go after her best friend? You’ve got some balls ;3” “Cant help but like what I like ;P” “Hmmm, then tell meee mister X PUMA. Me or lil Pepper?” It wasn’t an actual question. Not really. She was playing along. Being bratty. No way his answer really meant anything to her. “hmmm, I’d have to see how you were in bed first >;3” It was exactly the kind of answer she hated herself for loving. No love, no affection. Just raw lust. The kind of thing you’d say to some rando you met online and never intended to meet again. And if you did, it would likely to just have sex again. “pervert” she replies with a giggle. “You caught me again ;3” “hmmm, I’ve been wondering if my next stream should be a solo affair next orrr if I wanted to invite somone over again.” “are you inviting me over again?” “maybeee” “hmmm, tempting. VERRRY tempting. I’ll have to get back to you on that.” “aww “ “lol. I wont keep you waiting too long. Just keep your plans open Gotta go for now. Ttly!” “bye byeeee!” With a sigh she giggles re reading the crap they had just said to each other. There is no way Pepper could possibly enjoy this kind of play. She had tried to sext with her before but it had ended like it did face to face. Pepper getting all flustered and refusing to play along. Her smile slowly fades though as her doubts came back. I mean, this WAS technically Peppers man… Even if he didn’t feel that way and Kody was aware of that, Pepper WASN’T. Could she really keep this kind of thing a secret? And, more importantly, was she really ok with cheating with her friends first love? It had been several weeks since Kody had helped Pepper hook up with her crush Xander. Since then, Kody and Xander had been chatting daily. One day it’d be normal stupid stuff, others they’d shamelessly hit on each other. While she hadn’t invited him over again, she still teased the idea from time to time. While she and Xander seemed to be hitting it off, Pepper and Xander were a different story. Pepper at first had been a new woman. She showed a confidence she never had before and when she had the chance would gush about Xander. That however lasted for only a few days before it started to slowly taper off. “Well, uh, maybe he’s just been really busy!” Kody tells her friend helpfully. Feeling guilty since she knew very well, he wasn’t and had been talking to her daily. “I-I’m not so sure.” Pepper replies sadly. Kody had never really asked Xander about how he and Pepper were doing. Any info on that front came from Pepper herself. But from what she could gather is that as time went on, they seemed to have less and less to actually talk about. All those similarities they had shared when he babysat were starting to look like just that. A babysitter doing his best to make a child feel important. Now Pepper confident that they only seemed to greet each other in the mornings and would discuss the most basic of things like the weather or a test she took. “C-come on Pep, cheer up. Just have to keep trying, you know!?” Kody said in a false cheerful voice. Outwardly she did was her chipper and happy old self, but on the inside, she was feeling horrible. She had already begun seeing the pattern a while ago. As Pepper and Xander had less and less contact, the more and more she had had contact with Xander. Deep down inside she knew that what she was doing was wrong. That she was helping hurt her best friend in the whole world. Bleakly she wonders to herself if Xander was also feeling the same things. Surely, he could see that he was hurting her too, right? Maybe he WOULD if SOMEONE would tell him! Her loyal side says waspishly. H-he doesn’t need ME telling him that! She reasons back. Maybe he is deluding himself and simply going with the flow like YOU are. He may be a child hood parental figure turned lover. But you’re SUPPOSED TO BE HER BEST FRIEND! The friend to protect her and all!? “I don’t think it’s that simple.” Pepper sighs, cutting her self-depredating inner argument short. “I just don’t think there is as much of something there as I thought there was.” She continues sadly. “But he hasn’t cut it off yet, has he?” Kody points out. “I know. But I think that’s just because he doesn’t want to hurt my feelings.” Pepper says in a voice that suggests she’s on the verge of crying. “W-well tell him to stop being such a jerk then and say it!” Kody says hating the hope of this resolving itself in a way that she didn’t need to come clean. “But… If I do… I-I don’t think I can stand hearing him tell me it won’t work!” Pepper chokes out. Kody automatically wraps her arms around her friend protectively. Pepper sobs a bit as she presses her face into her shoulder for support and comfort. Kody coos softly and strokes her hair trying to calm her down feeling sick to her stomach. This is all YOUR fault you know? A scathing voice pops into her head. Pushing it aside she keeps doing her best to calm Pepper down. After a while Pepper finally straightens up and does her best to dry the damp fur around her face. “I-I’m sorry Kody for being such a wimp.” Pepper sniffs, giving Kody a watery smile. “It’s ok Pep. I understand you’re going through a tough time.” Trying to ignore the nagging voice in her head to come clean. “I’m really sorry. You did all the work for me and it came to this. Pretty pathetic huh?” Pepper hic-ups a bit still trying to dry her eyes. “I know you’ve been trying to help me all this time. But in the end, we were just not compatible enough. No matter how many pep tells you give or pointers it’s just not going to be enough. I should have listened to you from the start. SO… thank you for at trying anyways for my sake.” Each word was like a dagger to Kody’s heart. The unquestioning faith. The total acceptance of whatever she said. Then the final hit was that sad but happy smile. It took all of her strength to just smile meekly back. “J-just doing my best for my P-Pep.” She manages to say. “Whew! I had no idea how much I needed to just cry!” Pepper says after a moment with a giggle. “Thanks for putting up with me. I’ll tell him its over tonight.” “D-do you want me to stay?” Kody asks. They were currently at her house, she hadn’t planned on spending the night, but she felt the need to be there for moral support. “N-No, no. I’ll be alright. I just… need some time alone.” Pepper says softly. That probably hurt the most. She had always been there for Pepper. No matter what, no matter how trivial she had been there. She knew it was selfish and she had no right to be there for her tonight. But still, she hated the thought that Pepper no longer needed her. “O-ok then…” If Peppers mom had known that tonight was one of those spur-of-the-moment watch bill changes that plagued her mother, she’d have never taken her home. But, wanting to give Pepper the room she wanted she didn’t tell her and came up with a lie that her mom was out buying a pizza or something for dinner. With a final wave she closes her front door and flops onto the couch and stares at the black screen. She was about to doze off when her phone chirps and buzzes. Grumbling she wonders if its Pepper suddenly changing her mind. “Hey there Kody ” It was Xander. “Oh, hey there! Thought you worked late tonight!” she replies, her mind still lingering on her guilt. But also, doggedly hanging onto the fact that if Pepper did break things off with him, then she wouldn’t have to feel guilty any more. “Yeah, they sent us all home early tonight xP” “oof, that sucks Dx” “Yeah, if only this happened on a night you streamed right? xD” “Hah, yeah! Buuut, I COULD do one tonight >3>” “:O You could? What about your mom?” “She’s not here thought >3<” “No kidding! Got the house all to yourself tonight?” “Yuup! ;3 Plenty of time to give my number one fan a little stream” “Orr, maybe he could join you FOR a stream ;3” Kody’s heart beat sped up. They had only teased the idea since she had first made the suggestion. She hadn’t put to him again since she didn’t want to seem pushy and he hadn’t given her a set date he’d be free either. But with her suddenly having a day alone and his night also opening up just as suddenly it seemed like the stars had aligned. “ooooo, that’s an even BETTER idea >3<” “Perfect! I’ll head over right now then!” “See you sooooon! X3” Kody leapt up feeling giddy and practically ran to her room to set up the webcam and laptop. As she pulled it all out, she suddenly remembers that Pepper was planning on breaking up with him. The thought only lasts a second though. After all, that kind of made this ok. She had already given up on him, right? Just as she is trying to find the best angle for the webcam, she hears the doorbell ring. Sneaking up to a window by the front door she finds Xander waiting at the door looking at his phone. Her own phone buzzes in her back pocket and she giggles guessing he had sent her a text as well. Opening the door, she leans on the door and lets out a sultry purr. “Well, hello handsome. What brings you here at so late an hour?” “Haha, well hello to you too kitten. Do you mind letting me in? Or do you want the neighbors to catch sight of a stranger entering your home?” “OH, let them talk!” she declares but steps aside to let him in. “Hey, do you mind if I freshen up?” he asks once inside, showing a night bag. She only just realized he was in a uniform. “Aww, but I just LOVE a man in unform though!” she says with a mock pout. “Heh, you might reconsider once you’ve smelled me and said uniform!” “Oh ok Mr. Stinky butt. But don’t take TOO long!” she relents with a pout. “I’ll be quick, don’t worry.” He ways with a smirk. She huffs but lets out a squeak as she feels his paw pinch her butt as he passes by. She play growls and swings and misses an aimed swat as his own toned ass. He chuckles and speeds up down the hall avoiding her flailing paws and locks the door behind him. She huffs and leaves him to his shower and waits for him in her own bedroom. She doesn’t have to wait long for him. Soon she hears the door to the hall bathroom open and in walks the puma. “Boxers and a wife beater huh? You came prepared.” Kody says with a snicker. “You know? I didn’t even realize how perfect this would look!” he exclaims with a laugh. She smiles at him as he sits down next to her and she leans back against him. She purrs lightly as she feels his paws squeeze her shoulders. Closing her eyes, she mmms happily as he messages her shoulders, working out all that “stress”. “Mm, that’s nice. Should that be in the stream too?” she asks half-jokingly. “Heh, up to you Dakota. I wasn’t even sure if you we actually wanted to do a stream.” “Oh no. I DEF want to stream this. You and Pep got to have some fun on our joint account. Its time I had some on my personal account. OH, and call me Kody ‘kay? Every one does. Well, save my mom and Pep’s mom.” “As you wish then, “Kody”.” He replies teasingly. She smirks and logs into her personal account as the older cougar slowly runs a paw down her back. She shivers a bit with a purr as she enjoys the tingling sensation up her spine as he runs a finger down it. “Meep! L-let me log in first!” she complains. “Sorry sorry.” “Soo, should we text or use voice?” she asks. “I’ll let you do the talking.” He replies. “Alrighty then. Just have ONE last question.” She says looking over her shoulder at Xander with a devious smile. “What position do you want to do this in?” “Hmm, you talk up the crowd some and I’ll surprise you.” He says with an equally devious expression. “Oooo. I see. Fair enough.” She giggles before she activates the stream and webcam. “OH look! She’s back!” “Oh good! It’s been too long!” “Hey! Its that cougar guy from a few weeks back!” She giggles as the comments come pouring in. Flicking her tail back and forth she begins talking. “Heeey guys! Long time no see!” “we missed uuuu!” “that was so hot the last time!” “u giys need to double stream more often!” She giggles as some of the regulars from her and Pepper’s joint account recognize Xander. Some of them though ask a few uncomfortable questions though… “I though the cougar and questions your snep friend were goin out? :O” “same! Didn you say that?” Ignoring those questions, she plows on. “Well, oops you caught me. Yup, this is the same cougar guy that gave my lil friend a stuffing. Been keeping in touch lately and it just so happened we both had a clear evening!” She grins as the rest of them catch on to what the stream is about. Even the ones who were trying to figure out the dynamic between Xander and Pepper seemed less concerned about that now and WHAT he was going to do to her. Too easy. She thinks smugly. “wuts the cougar guy doin back there?” That was a good question. What WAS he doing? He had for the most part only toyed with her tail for a moment as she spoke to the fans. Now he seemed to be afk. But he was obviously there because they were asking about him. “Hmm, well I dunno actually. He told me it was going to be a surprise.” She says winking and placing her finger to her lips in a secretive sort of way. “He didn’t tell me, so I’m just gunna wai-t!” She had been leaning forward while sitting Indian style while she spoke. But suddenly she had felt him press on her shoulders and she had fell forward. She let out a squeak of surprise as her muzzle hits the bed, luckily right in front of the keyboard of her laptop. The moment she had hit though she felt his paws grab her sleep wear shorts and yank them down. In her quest to fall more gracefully she had ended up, TAIL up and facing away as if she were a feral cat in heat. Now with herself in the most compromising of positron’s she had struck! “OHSHITBOIS!” “omg” “fucking hot!” Her cheeks burned as she felt him man handle her in full view of the webcam, and read the flood of comments. He had somehow managed to slide her panties and shorts off while keeping her in the “cat in heat” position and was now licking all over her cougar bits. “Nnnng! H-here we go!” she manages to say to the viewers before she simply lets out a moan. His rough sand papery tongue grazes her folds and clit making her gasp out and lift her tail more. “Ahhng!” After a few more licks she feels him sit up and then tugs on her hips a bit, pulling her away from the computer and into the window of view she has pulled up. She huffs looking back at him lifting her tail higher before she feels the tip press home. Letting out a gasp of pleasure she feels him roughly press the thick tip in, spreading her young slit wide. Her eyes close as she moans thinking back on how much Pepper had seemed to be spread, and reveled in it being her turn now. FUCK he’s big! “G-going for broke huh?” she gasps out as she feels his claws graze her hips as he tugs her back and presses himself deeper. “Not complaining, are you?” she hears him whisper into her ear, nibbling it. “N-not at all!” she says, squirming and spreading her legs wider for him as she feels his dick slide in and kiss her cervix. “O-ooohhh! F-fuck your big! D-don’t stop! Breed me!” she gasps out lustfully. She knows she doesn’t need to say it. From how much they had sext, the pics they had shared, and how he had taken over it was rather pointless. But as cheesy as it sounded, she wanted to show him how into it she was. Plus, she wanted him to know he didn’t really need to hold back. She could handle it. He seemed to have picked that up though. The bed creaks under them as she feels him change his position while still buried inside. Then without warning she feels him shove himself down hard and deep inside of her. Each thrust forces a grunt out of her as she feels him press down from practically on top of her. Her inner folds squeezes expertly on the adult sized cock with each thrust earning her a grunt from Xander. She moans out as she feels him repeatedly shove her down, over and over again onto the bed making it creak and groan. Her eyes close slowly as she arches her back feeling his rod hit all of her internal spots sending waves of pleasure through her body. After a few moments she hears his breath get more and more ragged. His arms shake around her as his stamina drains but amazingly, she can feel he was still not ready to cum. With a grunt he stops and then moves around a bit, touching her on her arms and legs to indicate where he wanted her next. For her part she was close, and once she had been put on her paws and knees, the initial thrust is all it takes. She lets out a gasp of pleasure as her body is wracked with an orgasm. She cries out loud as she feels him tug on her hair, forcing her head back as he resumes railing her. She grunts and puffs through the orgasm as she feels his heavy balls slap her soaked crotch with each new thrust. He quickly tires out though and she finally has a moment of rest as they both pant hard. She feels his cock twitch deep inside as he tries to hold off from cumming too soon. Her pussy quakes as badly as she recovers. “Mmmf! N-naughty cougar, dicking a young girl like me.” She gasps out with a purr. She lets out a little squeak as she feels him slap her ass then squeeze her other cheek. A purr escapes her chest as she feels him lean in and feels his breath on her ear. “I’ve been wanting to do this the moment I first saw you stream.” He growls. “Mmmm, then go for it” she coos, pressing her hips back against him. Kody had a lot of practice pleasing boys. Especially older guys. She knew that deep down they loved hearing a girl half their age saying and doing things someone their own age would. Xander was no different, and she knew he had only needed a TINY push… She could tell that was it. A deep growl escaped his chest as he felt her grind back against him. One paw reached around and roughly grasped a breast as he used the other to support his weight. Then with a grunt he began thrusting like there was no tomorrow. Kody had figured th8at as rough as he had been earlier, it was still paced. He had wanted to enjoy this and keep going. Now though his thrusts came one after another at a break neck pace. The room filled with wet slapping noises as she felt his rod slam repeatedly into her. Just as she knew, the new pace wasn’t sustainable. His thrusts slow and less rhythmic. His beath is ragged I her ear and she feels his cock twitch madly deep inside. Seconds later she finally hears a deep sigh escape his maw and the sudden flood of hot liquid flooding her body. Kody herself lets out a gasp and moan as the rush of semen triggers her second’s orgasm. She shivers and moans as rides out the orgasm, keeping her hips pinned back against his. Both cougars writhe for a time before finally the high fades and the fuzzy afterglow takes hold. Panting hard she lets herself fall gently onto the bed feeling the dick partially slip out. She grunts a bit feel it suddenly pop free as he lifts himself up and feels the cool air touch her soaked and abused pussy. She bites her lip remembering the webcam as she reaches between her leg to feel her soaked and parted folds. A moan escapes her muzzle as she blushes at the same time feeling Xander’s cum ooze out. She huffs manages to ask; “Huff, D-did you enjoy that guys? W-want to see what he did to my poor little cougar cunny?” She grunts as she gets in a sitting position and spreads herself wide for the viewers. Not paying much attention to the screen she grunts as she squeezes her muscles so she can watch the thick white viscus fluid gush out and onto the bed. Purring deeply, she grins over at Xander who was also sitting up, smirking as he watched his load ooze out of her. “WHEW! After watching him rail my snep friend and getting stood up by that other guy I REALLY needed that!” she says happily to both Xander and her viewers. Looking back to the screen to see their reactions she suddenly notices that something is VERY wrong… Instead of the usual horny comments or talks of jealousy she notices that they all seemed to be preoccupied with something else. Not something they had seen, but what someone else had wrote. “OMG, I always KNEW this would happen one day!” “HAHAHA! BUSTED!” “that’s pretty messed up. HOT. But messed up =/” Suddenly afraid that her mother had come home in the middle of their sex she whirls around to see if the door was opened or something. Xander too looks over his shoulder, his expression dark with worry. But the door was still shut, and she couldn’t HEAR anything else in the house. Turning back to the screen she’s about to ask what their talking about when someone comments, “looking in the wrong place there kitty” “miiight wanna scroll up sister ;3” “always knew she was a slut xD” Heart hammering in her chest she scrolls up in the chat logs. It was the name that caught her attention. A frightenly familiar sounding name. And the comment left by them only confirmed her fear. PepSnep: what are you two doing!? To her horror she realized that this was some 5 minutes ago. She was no longer logged in, but according to the info she had only JUST logged out. Meaning she had likely seen her show off to the viewers her pussy dripping and oozing with Xander’s cum. “OHSNAP!” “OMFG THEY WERE AN ITEM!” “hahahaha! Got busted getting “busted into” by her man” “fucking priceless” “cheating with your besties guy in LF? Sad” “oh no! I wonder if we’ll see them again :(“ The comments kept rolling in. PepSnep however had remained silent after they had made their initial comment. “look at her face LOL!” “Damn, that’s gotta suck!” “for who? The chubby girl finding her bestriend getting fucked by her guy or the cougar girl realizing shes caught?” “I don’t think she realizes she’s still streaming” “this is golden, tell me soeone is screen recording.” The new comments suddenly roll in and bring her back to reality. “F-FUCK YOU GUYS!” she snarls shutting off the webcam. “Hey, what’s wrong!?” Xander asks. She jumps spinning around nearly forgetting he was with her. Without answering him she jumps up and scrambles to her dresser to find her phone. The feeling of the still hot cum oozing down her legs makes her sick and she grabs her phone and sits down so she doesn’t have to feel it. Ignoring Xander’s now nearly frantic expression she quickly dials Pepper’s phone, hoping, praying she answers. Instead of the phone ringing it instead cuts right to voicemail. Cursing she dials again and again. Each time it just goes to voicemail. “What’s going on!” Xander insists, his expression suggesting he has a suspicion. “T-try calling Pepper!” Kody demands in a distraught voice. Realization dawns on his face as he clearly realizes what must have happened. He leaves the bedroom but instead of coming back on the phone he is instead looking at the screen. With a sigh he sits heavily down and before she can ask he presents the phone to her. There were 3 missed calls. All from Pepper. Fifteen, ten, the five minutes ago. Before that there were even some texts. Pepper: Hey Xander, can you call me? We need to talk. Pepper: Are you there? This is pretty serious. Pepper: Hello? The more she read the more the horrible truth set in. Unless she was on the phone with her parents or something. She had found them on LiveFurs then blocked Kody and likely Xander. Kody blindly shoves the phone back to Xander, rests her head in her paws and begins sobbing. It’s some time before Kody can finally get a hold of herself. During her crying Xander had stayed close by and rested his paw on her shoulder. Feeling comforted by him felt wrong. But she was still happy for the support. Not that she felt she deserved it. “Sh-she must h-have s-started wondering.” Kody finally sniffs, trying to wipe the tears from her soaked cheeks. “It’s going to be fine.” Xander tries to say. “NO, ITS NOT GOING TO BE FUCKING OK!” Kody snarls, standing up glaring at him with her fur fluffed out. Her anxiety turning to anger as she suddenly feels like pinning it all on him to spare herself the guilt. “MY-! NO! OUR BEST FRIEND JUST CAUGHT US GOING AT IT LIKE A PAIR OF RABBITS! SHE’S BEEN SO DISTRAUGHT AND UPSET LATELY BECAUSE YOU WON’T GIVE HER THE TIME OF FUCKING DAY! NOW SHE’S GOING TO THINK ITS BECAUSE WE’VE BEEN FUCKING ALL ALONG!” She knew it wasn’t fair to yell at him like that. Or fair to try to twist it so he was the bad guy for ignoring Pepper. As if she had nothing to do with all those hours of flirting. But what was annoying her most of all was how he was simply taking it, accepting it as the truth. “I know.” He says heavily. “I got so caught up with you that I stopped paying her attention. I knew she had feelings for me. I figured if I slowly stopped, she’d move on. That was selfish of me.” The sudden rush of energy fades leaving Kody feeling faint. Half sitting half falling she slumps back onto the bed and buries her face into her face again. The two-stay silent for a while. “I’m sorry Xander. I’m just so upset with myself. And scared… SO SCARED that I’ve lost my best friend in the whole world.” Kody finally whispers. “It’s not just your fault Kody. I was also aware of Pepper’s feeling but still wanted you too.” “Y-you don’t get it.” Kody says in a quavering voice, on the verge of crying again. “This WHOLE time I’ve been giving her tips. Talking her up. Encouraging her. That you two were for sure an item. I could see how hurt and sad she was this whole time. Instead of just coming clean I let the lie continue. She was about to break up with you Xander. That’s why she was calling and texting you. I figured that-that if you two broke up then I wouldn’t have to tell her a thing. That I’d be in the clear!” The more she spoke the worse she felt. The terrible truth of how awful of a friend she had been, that she was to Pepper. The kindest, gentlest fur she had ever known. Xander too was shocked. He stared at her in surprise. He must not have fully realized what was going on with her. As much as he ought to have known, it still fell squarely on her own shoulders. Because she had been in on both sides. “A-and for what!?” she asks with a sob. “Just so I could get some dick!? Just so I could get fucked by you? Because I was JEALOUS!?” “DAKOTA!” Xander’s stern voice cuts through. She stops, tears still rolling freely as she stares back at him. “I get it.” He continues in a softer tone. “I really do get it. It was… insensitive to suggest that everything was going to be just fine. But beating yourself up over this ISNT going to fix the problem.” “H-how can we wh-when she’s blocked us?” she asks, gesturing uselessly. “You forget. I’m a family friend. And you’re her best friend. You see her every day at school. Hell, you mother would drop you off at her place if you asked, right?” Kody nods, still sniffing. “I know its hard, but for now it’s probably best to give her some room. Give he time to get her mind in a good place. Once she has calmed down enough then we can go and apologize.” “W-what if she doesn’t forgive me?” Kody asks fretfully, still unable to control her tears. “Well… I can’t say that’ impossible. But it has to be up to her. We can’t force her to forgive us. All we can do is when the time is right, give her a meaningful apology. We fucked up Kody. We fucked up big time. “he finishes heavily. Kody sighs and lays down hiding her face. She knew he was right. They had made their bed and they would have to lay in them.
