There was a knock on the door and Jay rushed over to open it. He was still a little upset because he woke up this morning, went to take a shower, and found it on the fritz. He opened up the door to reveal  his friend Jon standing there with a tool box in his hand and a yawn on his face.
"Thanks for coming over so early, If I can avoid hiring an actual plumber that would be nice" said the red panda with a smile on his face.
"It's no problem man, happy to help. You do know your landlord has people whose job it is to fix these things?"
Jay moved aside and ushered the grey wolf into his apartment. "Yeah I do, but it's so hard to get a hold of them this early and I would like to see if I can get this finished before I have to go to my art showing."
"Oh, that's today? It's over at the regular campus gallery right, not one of those weird ones?"
"Yeah. If you want, I can put you on the list so you don't have to pay to get in. It's the least I can do" he said with another big smile.
"I wouldn't miss it" he said returning the smile. "So what was the problem?"
"Well, I turned it on and things just went crazy. There was this strange sound and then water went everywhere!"
"Hmmm, sounds like there might be air getting into your pipes. Could just be lose. Let me try some things." He went into the small bathroom and set his tool box down. Jay stood in the door way to give the wolf room to work. Jon opened some the panel that exposed the pipes behind the shower/tub and got a flashlight from his kit and crawled halfway into the crawlspace to have a look at Jay's pipes. 
Jay stood there watching him work and wished he would come look at his more intimate pipes, though he would never outright tell his friend because they had been friends for a while now and he wouldn't want to make things awkward. They joked about it sometimes, teasing each other since Jon knew Jay was gay and Jay knew that Jon had a thing for gay guys, but it never amounted to much.  Jay wished Jon would mount him.
"Dude, you okay?"
"Wha!? Sorry, I must have spaced out."
"Well, from what I see, these pipes are a little old and there's a small leak. Nothing serious, just a mild drip that hasn't caused any moistness. I am going to have to cut out a piece of the wall so that I can work. They could just be loose or need some sealant. I won't know a hundred percent until I get your wall open."
"That's cool. How long is that going to take?"
"An hour tops" he said getting up off the floor.
"Thank you" Jay said throwing his arms around the wolf's neck who stood a head taller than the panda.
