To say he was stressed was an understatement. Munkustrap paced through the Junkyard. He needed some sort of companionship, friendly, maybe intimate...
No. Maybe intimate was a bad idea. He shouldn't keep sleeping with Kit, he knew he shouldn't. Just she was so good. And it'd been so long.
Fortunately, his decision was almost made for him.
"Hey Lonz? You got a second?" he called, smiling.

Alonzo looked around from his perch on top of the hood of a car, he had been looking up at the stars thinking, dreaming...
Upon seeing Munk he smiled back waving, "yeah of course! Come join me."

Munkustrap quickly climbed up, giving his friend a pat on the back as he sat next to him. "Beautiful night. I love when the moon has that bit of shadow." He gazed at the sky intently. Munkustrap could find pleasure in almost everything.
"What's going on with you?"

"Yeah," Alonzo agreed gazing up at the moon, "me too."
At Munkustrap's question he shrugged, "just...thinking" about Plato. He sighed, should he talk to Munk about it? Well...he was probably the only one who wouldn't mock him, but still.
He shook off his thoughts, "what about you? Something you want to talk about?"

"Stressed. Just sorta felt like I needed a friend." He lay on his back to watch the stars. "What are you thinking about? You look down. ... you've looked down for a little bit, actually."

Alonzo laid back down next the the grey and black tom, "yeah, well there's been some crazy stuff happening in my life the last little while to be sure." He glanced over at his companion, "what about you though? Things have been kind of stressful the last little while, what with that fiasco of a party and everything. You doing OK?"

"In my bed. They fucked in my bed."
Munkustrap sighed, and pinched the bridge of his nose. Though really, there was more stress than that.
"I've been sleeping with Kitrina."

Alonzo blinked, "umm...oh. I didn't think you even liked her that much. In fact I always got the vibe that you didn't trust her."

"I don't."
Munkustrap sighed. "That's what makes me so awful."
He swallowed as he looked at the sky. "It's been awhile, and I've been lonely, and she's... she's just wow. I didn't know it was possible to feel so good. She just... amazing queen... when it comes to sex. Surprisingly good body. I mean, seriously, I'd even suggest you give her a go. Her mouth, and the way she rides, and she can take anything. And I mean anything."
He then looked depressed.

"I've been fucking Plato," Alonzo breathed, barely realizing he had said it out loud. Munk's confession making him realize that if he didn't tell somebody soon, he would explode. Who better to tell than Munk really.
"More than that...I think I love him."

Munkustrap turned on his side to gaze at Alonzo. "Really?" He was a bit startled, mainly because he never got any sort of bi-vibe off of Alonzo, or anything suggesting he liked toms. And, although he was best friends with Plato...
"Are you sure? I don't understand why. You're so smart and he's..." his voice trailed off. "Well, we know what he is."

"I know," Alonzo stated, "but...I...well I just do. I can't explain it. I feel like I've always loved him, and I don't know why, and I've never really thought about toms that way before, but now all of a sudden I...well I do, at least with him." The words were flowing now, he couldn't stop them, "it's so God damned confusing and...and..." he sat up, cupping his face in his hands, "I just don't know what to do..."

Munkustrap pulled himself so he was sitting upright and put an arm around his shoulder. "He's not exactly the easiest cat to talk to if there's a problem..." he said sympathetically. "You can't help who you feel for. Plato though... that's tough. Even if he liked toms... besides my idiot brother... I'm not entirely certain he has the capacity to really get it. Or be committed or anything."

"Fuck," he said, looking down, "the worst thing is that I think you're right, in fact I know you are. He doesn't have the capacity to return my feelings, even if he wanted to, which again, I'm not sure he even does." He buried his face even deeper in his hands, wishing that he had something to punch, something that he could beat on until all of the sadness and anger washed out of him.

"Hey, hey," he said gently, hugging him close with the arm around his friend's back. "That doesn't necessarily mean give up. As much as he drives me crazy, and.. well, it's problematic..." he paused. "Well..."
There wasn't a great solution.
"Maybe think about the why," Munkustrap suddenly suggested. "I mean, you can't help your feelings but usually if you figure out what it is... well, it's easier to cope with. Or get over. I mean... you guys are close. Incredibly."

Alonzo sighed, "I don't know Munk, I really don't...I guess I'll figure it out eventually." He really did have to get over this didn't he? There was very little chance that Plato would ever return his feelings in the same way, so wasn't it naive to think otherwise? So many questions, none with any of the answers he wanted.
He shook his head, "but what about you? This whole thing with Kit, I mean, it's pretty intense yeah? Why is it you don't trust her anyways?"

Silence.
If he couldn't trust Alonzo, his second..?
Still, it was recipe for disaster. Even Tugger had kept silent, though he wasn't sure why.
He exhaled, then spoke.
"Can I absolutely trust you for a judgment call and have you swear not to repeat a word of this to anyone? And I mean anyone."

Alonzo perked up, nodding, a serious look on his face, "of course Munk, you know you can."
What was this? He didn't expect such a serious reaction.

"You know that time we had that drunken party? I went off with Kit. Slept with her. Tugger walked in the next morning and well... whatever. We noticed inside of her thigh she had the "M" scar." He exhaled--he didn't need to say more than that, or explain more, although he added. "Gave a run away story... most horrific thing I've heard. Ever. But I don't know if it's true or not. Tugger thinks she's lying and to banish her but... if she's telling the truth..." He shuddered.

Alonzo nodded, frowning slightly, "but Munk what would make you or Tugger think that she was lying? I mean you accept Jerrie and Teazer's story without question don't you?" He ran a hand through his hair, "I just don't think that she seems like the type who has any reason to lie, not anymore anyways. She seems so...so..."
"Hopeless."

"That's exactly why he's worried," Munkustrap sighed. "Jerrie and Teazer aren't smart enough to pull off anything too bad without being noticed... I think... but we don't know much about her. The backstory... I mean, slaughtered mate and kittens, and being left for dead? It's a stretch. But if it's sincere..."
He sighed. "I don't know whether I'm getting clouded judgment because she's a good fuck, or what. I can't read her."

Alonzo placed a hand on the grey cat's shoulder, "look Munk...to be honest I have no idea whether or not you can trust her or not, but...something in the way she is, the way she acts...it makes me think that she's on the level. I just...I can't imagine how someone could lie about...that."
He wasn't sure, but for some reason, his little interactions with Kitrina made him believe that she was truly depressed, she just, she seemed almost like she was staying alive just to punish herself.

"Maybe," he said with a sigh. "It's just something I need to watch out for. Tugger hasn't said anything, thank the Everlasting Cat..."

Alonzo nodded, keeping his hand on Munk's shoulder but not saying anything. There really was nothing he could say. Munk was a big boy, he didn't need someone telling him that everything was going to be OK, when he bloody well knew that it might not be. He needed someone to just be there, to just listen, and that was what Alonzo was going to do.

"And if she's been honest, and sincere, what I'm doing to her is horrible," Munkustrap added quietly, fully aware of everything. He felt guilty about it. "She's just so good."

Post by Alonzo on Jul 31, 2011 14:56:05 GMT -5
Alonzo shook his head, "it's not like she doesn't want it too though Munk. I mean maybe she needs it just as much as you do."

"I don't know about want me more than like me. And... well." He frowned. "Not my type." He looked a bit guilty then.

"Oh," Alonzo said, understanding now, "so she...well she's kinda fallen for you then? And...well you're more about the...well the physical side of things only, yeah?"
He just wanted to make sure that he had the whole picture. He needed to be sure he understood properly.

"... pretty much. I mean, I could be wrong but..." He sighed and rubbed his brow. "She's just... she's not my type. ... not that I have a type but... I don't see why it has to be all exclusive. There's so much affection cats can have for others and..." He shook his head. "Well, whatever. I just don't know what to do."

"Yeah," Alonzo said nodding and letting himself fall back to the hood of the car, "I know exactly how you feel. Believe me I do."
