The Cornerian Complex

[FoxMcCloud]

Scott perks his ears when Everett told him his night would not be let down with the incedent. He would just about to say something when the waiter showed up and gave them their plates. So he held it back for now. He would glance up at the waiter and smile, "Thank you..." he would say, making a mental not in his head to leave a tip for him. He would turn to Everett, "Wow this all smells good..." he would say, trying to change the subject.

It was after he said that when the waiter came and he sighed as he shut his eyes.

Why do they always come at the worst time?...

It's not the worst that can happen. He is just doing his job...

"Thanks." Everett replied to the fox, taking a drink of his coke again after.

"If there is anything that you need, just let me know, and I will be more then happy to fulfill that for you." Edward said with a smile, as he then packed up the trays and headed back to the back, and completed some rounds for the other customers. It would be a while until he would come back, unless he was called for.

...Was he going to say something, Lloyd?...

I think so... He thought as the smallest tear came down his right eye as he wiped it away.

...A-Are.. You okay?...

...

"Yeah, this looks really good." Everett said with a smile, a little emotional at just being able to have this type of luxury. He made sure to enjoy his chicken and soup combo, as it was the special, slowly, and happily.

Scott would smile at the waiter once more, then turn back to Everett. He noticed the tear just as Everett began to wipe it away. "What's wrong, mate?" he would ask. But when he felt Everett play it off by continueing his last statement, he would not in agreement. "You made a good choice in food there." he would smile with a wink.

Everett finally had a mental break as he took a small bite of his food. He really enjoyed it as it he swallowed, just purely happy to be having this moment.

He looked up to him as the dingo gave him the compliment. He also noticed the wink as well. "I think so. But I think your eye might have a winking issue." He pointed out sarcastically.

Scott chuckled a bit as he took a few bites of food. He had just began to take a sip of his coke when he heard the comment about is eye. He chocked a bit on it, not expecting Everett to say that. "I...uh.....I mean..." he said, he was still trying to breath and drink at the same time. "What I meant to say was, It is just something I do....mostly to friends and people I like.." he would say, taking another bite before having to explain himself more.

"..." Everett was really silent for a moment as he heard the last part.

...Lloyd?... I don't think he finds you as just a friend...

...

...Well?! You can't stay silent forever! Someone-

Shut it! I get it! I need to say something, just back off!...

He set his drink aside. He then looked at the dingo, and swallowed the spit in his mouth. "I want you to be honest... Do you like me? Or am I a friend..." Everett asked. His tone was slightly waveery, but he needed to know.

Scott froze, he seriously had to put a lot of thought into this. He gave a sigh, "Right now...a friend, I must admit, you are really cute, and I would love to get to know you more, but that is only if you let me....and help me to understand what barriers can be crossed in that friendship.." he gave his best reply. His ears would lower and he felt his hands getting clamy from sweat, so he picked up a napkin and began to wipe them.

"..."

Lloyd! See?! He likes you just as a friend.

...

Okay, the silent treatment is rea-

Shut UP!!! That was basically a watered down version of he does want to be with me most likely at one point!...

So? So what if he does... Just tell him you're not like that!

...

...Loyd?...

Everett had another small tear trickle down him. He wiped it with his sleeve, and swallowed. "Well... I respect that, just... I-I'm..." He sighed, wiping his eye one last time, not letting the tears affect his voice. "I'm not gay..."

Scott would lower both of his ears, "I figured that...." he would admit to Everett, "You didn't seem the type to be." He still smiled, "I only hope that it does not affect a friendship..." he would say, giving a bit of a sigh, his suspicions clashing with what hopes he had.

"Ye-..." Everett stopped, not really okay with any of this.

...Lloyd? Why did you stop?...

I'm not okay with this... Why else do you think I did?...

Why does it matter if he likes you!? That is very hypocritical of you!...

...

...Wait... Lloyd... Is this because yo-...

"...No... I am not okay with that." Everett corrected. He stood up, holding back his emotions. "I need to go to the restroom..." He stated as he moved from the table and headed to the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Scott heard that Everett wasn't ok and his spirits dropped. When Everett went to the restroom and closed the door. Scott would lean forward and place his head into both hands, "Smooth, f***ing smooth, Scott..." He thought sourly to himself. He had to make one of two choices....stay and hope Everett was not mad at him, OR try to help Everett by just leaving while he was in there, after paying for the meal of course. He would sit there and try to think.

[Fluxy]

Everett started washing his face off, the small tears not visible because of it.

Lloyd! You can be honest with me, can't you?... Just tell me what's wrong...

The fact that nothing is right...

So!? That doesn't mean everything is wrong.

You wouldn't understand...

...Are you kidding me?!

Okay, okay... Well, what am I supposed to do then?

For one, don't make him feel like crap just because you don't share those feelings.

...

Soon after a couple minutes, Everett came from out of the bathroom, making sure that he dried his face and such so he didn't look like he just cried. He walked up to the dingo, and rubbed his left arm with his right hand.

"I know I haven't been the most clear person..." He started, and then sat down, looking at the table as he didn't want to look into the dog's eyes. "I just... I can't let you..." He tried saying what he wanted to say twice, but both times failed. He just became quiet and drank more of his soda.

Scott had just returned from paying the bill (saying FoxMcCloud put it there....sorry bud) and sat down just as Everett came from the restroom. Scott would raise a hand as Everett tried to explin, "It is ok, no explanation needed....I understand, really..." he would say, trying to make the hybrid more at ease even though this was slightly crushing inside. He would happen to glance at a clock and notice the time, "Wow...uh....I'm sorry, but I have to be going, got to get ready for the concert...." he would say, placing a $20 bill on the table for the waiter. He soon stood up, "I already paid the bill....." he froze and lowered his head away from Everett, "Thank you for having dinner with me..." he would say before rushing out of the diners doors, Only to stop at the nearest Restroom to wash up.

"...But..." Everett froze up. He then sat at the table.

Lloyd?

...What is it...

You know... You could always just see him after the concert to explain. I mean, after telling me... He should understand...

...Do you think so?

Of course!... Just don't be sad, okay?...

...Alright.

He finished the last of his food and sat there. Just trying to get over what happened, and focusing how he would behave when he met back up with the dingo again. He -had- to explain himself to Scott. Not because he felt obligated, but because he wanted too. He just had to wait now for him too be free again.

Scott had eventually made his way to the concert, only to find out that the lady who had been running the orphanage had been arrested for apparent child abuse charges (YAY John lol).  He was told the concert would have to be tomorrow, since the kids had been through enough for one day. Scott was ok with this, he had some thinking to do anyway. He would leave the area for the maintenace crew to finish up so he could still think. He would eventually find himself at the food court, he suddenly had things he wanted to say, but, was unsure of, so he did what he did naturally.

He would begin to whisper to himself.

"It doesn't matter where you are...Doesn't matter where you go,

What is really inside my heart is what I want you to know..."

"Guh...that sounds horrible..." he would say, and find himself with his hands in his pockets, sitting under a small Clock Tower.

After quite some time of conversing with himself...

...And you're sure about all of that, Lloyd?...

Yeah... I'm positive. Just... I am more confident now. It will be fine.

Okay... I trust ya....

Everett soon got up, and left out of the place. He to where the concert was supposed to be, but saw that no one was there. He looked around, but yet he still found no one. "I thought they were going to have it here..." He started, looking around everywhere, not making use of his wings. He then sighed, and sat on the platform where the performers would be. "Now how am I supposed to find Scott...?"

"Now how am I supposed to find Scott...?"

Someone would over hear Everett and walk up to him, "It still is, just being held off 'till tomorrow...some issues with the head of the orphanage being arrested an all and having to be put under new management.." he would inform the Hybrid.

Scott would still be trying to put lyrics together, but was having a massively difficult time with them. Usually they would flow right through him like wind in a turbine...but his mind was honestly elsewhere at the moment. He felt bad, cause now he was having to break his promise to little Airi until tomorrow. "I'll make it up to her...." he would say, hoping that would be the case.

[Fluxy]

Someone would over hear Everett and walk up to him, "It still is, just being held off 'till tomorrow...some issues with the head of the orphanage being arrested an all and having to be put under new management.." he would inform the Hybrid.

Everett would jump a little out of shock as he stood to look at the man. "Oh... Okay." He  started. "Do you know where I could find the band's singer, Scott, uh... Well, I don't know his last name." He finished. He hoped he would at least know.

The man would point towards the direction of the food court, "I enjoys the smell of food.... helps him think...." The man spoke, "But be careful, he didn't look like he was all there to begin with....like he lost something just recently.." the mane would warn. and before Everett left the man would note, "Also, when you find him can you tell him his brother is looking for him?" he would ask.

"Oh, Sure! And thanks, it means a lot." He said happily, and then started heading over towards the food court. "Huh... I didn't know he had a brother. Oh well..." He said to himself making his way to the food court, and now looking for where Scott would be.

Scott would still sit there for a bit, until he got a bit bored and pulled out his iPod. He searched for a song that usually helped him think. Once found he set it to repeat. But the bad part is it was a song he usually loved to sing, which he was trying to see if he could sing during the concert for the kids. He started singing the first few lyrics to himself, "You feel like a candle....In a hurricane...." and kept going until he started to close his eyes and really began to let loose a bit. A few people saw this and at first looked at him funny, but then began to clap in tempo. He then noticed this and just continued, singing out the full song.

"Whe-.. Clapping?" Everett said as he made his way around to see the people clapping along with Scott's singing. Everett sighed at this. "Well... He's giving a little performance... Might as well wait." He said, sitting down in a secluded area where he could still keep an eye out on Scott, and still be partially near him.

Scott was soon done. Everyone nearby clapped as he bowed. A few tried to give him cash or change, but he refused it and told them what they SHOULD do with it. When everyone had dispersed he sat back down on the bench and gave a sigh, it made him feel slightly better, but it might take a bit to shake the current feeling he had.

Everett continued to sit. He swallowed the saliva in his mouth, but just kept sitting.

...Lloyd? You need to get moving...

I know, I know...

He soon got up and stretched. Everett then walked over to where the dingo was located, and sat next to him. "...I heard your show was postponed... I'm sorry about that..."

Scott took his headphones out when he noticed someone sitting next to him, but when he heard Everett's voice, something slightly lite up in him. "It's alright, it'll just be longer for those kids to get a home...." he would say. "I was also hoping that with those kids there and a lot of the childless adults...they may get adopted....but it'll have to wait for one more day." he would say, feeling more sorry for the kids then anything.
