Memories

Finny shut the door to his room and climbed into his bed. Crawling under the covers his smile turned into a sad frown, his ears folding as he opened the messaging app on his phone. He tapped the contact labeled “dad” and began reading.

September

 I can’t believe my own son is a faggot
 Do you know how insulting that is?
Dad I’m sorry.. <
 No. I raised you right, don’t show your face back home again.

November

Happy Birthday dad <

December

Merry Christmas dad. <

Finny looked up at the calendar with tears in his eyes. It read April 12.

6 months ago.

Finny ran frantically out of the house, tripping and falling onto the front lawn. A backpack filled with clothes strapped over his shoulders, turning around he saw his dad standing in the doorway, his mom trying to calm him down. “Derrick please..” Mary cries, tears rolling down her face. “NO! I didn’t raise a cock sucker!” He yelled as he thrower a suitcase of stuff at Finny. “You want to be a faggot? Go for it, but not in this house!” Derrick yelled, slamming the door. Finny curled into a ball and cried. Kicked out of his own house by his father for liking men. Tears coated his palms and the grass below him. The small fennec sniffles and got to his feet several minutes later, looking back at the kitchen window to see his parents fighting. He wiped his nose and grabbed the suitcase, tears rolling down his face as he began to walk.

Finny softly knocked on the door of his friends house. Moments later Cobalt answered the door to the crying fennec. “Oh hey! Fin..ny?” Surprised you see his friend crying his eyes out while holding baggage. “C-can I…. come inside…” he managed to mutter out between sniffles. “Yeah, yeah of course. Are you okay what happened?”

“Here you go Finny, eat up. You can stay here as long as you need to.” Said Cobalts mother, placing a bowl of soup in front of the fox. Finny started at his own reflection in the soup, tears dripping down into the bowl. The Australian Shepard’s looked at each other and decided to give him some space. Finny lightly sipped his first spoonful and heard his phone go off. Looking down, it was his mother. Six missed calls and several text messages. “Where are you!?” “Finny are you okay!?” “Please honey.. tell me you’re safe..”. Tears in his eyes he typed back four letters. “I’m ok”

About a month had gone by since the incident. Finny and his mother stayed close in touch over the phone, she would help him whenever she could. Finny has decided that he was going to college next school year. He had planned on it anyway, just now he would need to try a bit harder for it. His mother already was transferring funds to his bank account. The two met up for dinner to talk over the plans. This was the first time they had seen each other in over a month. Mary held her son tightly, tears rolling down her eyes as she kissed both of his large ears then his forehead. “Oh honey… I’ve worried so much..”. The two had they share of tears and hugs before they sat down to order food and talk. The conclusion was made that campus was to far away for Finny to be living with Cobalt so he would need to move closer. The next couple days involved the two texting vacancy’s back and forth to each other, trying to find one that was close enough but not to expensive. A strange room opening with “flexible cost” was listed. Strange, but it wasn’t too far away from campus. The two messaged the owner and set up an interview.

The fennec walked up to the doorstep, looking over his shoulder at his mother waiting in the car on the curb. He knocked on the door and shortly after a green and blue husky opened the door. “Oh hey! You here for the room?”. “Y-yeah.. I am.”. “Sweet, I’m SnowShoe by the way, but you can call me Snow.” “My names Finny.” Snow led the fox inside and into the kitchen table, looking over his shoulder he saw a larger fox and red panda both watching TV. “So Finny, what brings you here?”. “Oh um… I need a place closer to campus… I plan on going next year.” “Oh very nice, honestly that’s so refreshing to hear, last guy just wanted a couch to bum on..”. The fox let out a soft chuckle before looking away and back over his shoulder. “Do they live here too?” “Why yes, they do! Our maid does too! Hey madam!? Want to come meet our guest?”. “Oh no Snow you don’t have t-“ quickly around the corner came out another husky with similar colors except she wore a French maid outfit complete with black and purple striped stalkings with matching arm warmers. “Oh Bonjour, it’s so nice to meet you!”. Finny blushed at the girl before him and started to stutter a bit “H-hey..”. “Will you be our new roommate? I would love another friend to have around!”. “Uhh.. well um… hey Snow? What does flexible cost mean?”. “Oh yes of course. Well it’s quite easy, chip in here and there, don’t be lazy, and all your expenses are paid. There’s no set cost but if you could buy groceries once in a while, take out the trash, maybe pay a bill once here and there. You know. Working together!”. “Finnys eyes widened. “Oh that’s… that’s not bad at all. I could do that.”. “Would you like to see your room?” “Oui! Come Monsieur…?”. With a soft smile the Fennec blushed. “Fenster… Finny Fenster.”

That was 5 months ago, living here had been great, but scars of the past… still haunted him. A few tears fall into his phone before Finny heard a knock at his door. Quickly wiping his eyes the fox replied, “Come in.”. It was Snow. “Oh hey Finny I know you were going to bed but I forgot to ask you. Would you like to go to Pride with us? It’s really fun and we would love to have you come with.” Finny looked at his phone, the screen dimming over his fathers messages. Snow looked at the phone from the doorway. “Finny you know we don’t care if you like guys. Hell I do to, if that wasn’t obvious.” The fox smiled lightly and looked back at the husky. “Yes. I’d love to come with.” Snow smiled and nodded, slowly closing the door. Finny picked up the phone and texted his mother. “Mom I’m going to Pride”
