Thursday at the gym, Venti entered the locker room to see the sight of a naked grizzly bear's backside. "I don't believe it," he said. "Charles? I thought you left?"
Sure enough, Charles turned around, rubbing the back of his head and looking down at the tiled floor. He had the decency to cover his groin with a towel. "Ah, yeah...I met someone a few months ago and he was movin' here, so I figured I'd move with him."
Venti smiled, and it was a genuine one he felt both outside and in. "I didn't like how you and me parted. I'm sorry for...well..."
Charles arched an eyebrow and smirked at Venti as he withdrew a pair of red and white striped boxers from his locker. "Fer not callin' me out when I was steppin' over my boundaries, pup? Fer bein' a loudmouth and gettin' too inappropriate with ya?"
Venti raised his hands, palms outward towards the bear. "No...well, maybe for the first part, but if I'd told you to tone it down, I was afraid you'd act like me, and be temperamental about it."
Charles discarded the towel on a bench, putting on the boxers. "Yer a shitty liar, pup. Nobody acts like ya. That's why yer my favorite pup."
Venti shook his head with a chuckle. "I'm not sure if I should be insulted or not, so I'll just gloss it over and ask who's the lucky guy?"
Charles froze a moment, eyes wide with...surprise? "Aw, hell, did I let it slip I met someone?"
Venti couldn't remember the last time Charles was caught off guard. "Uh, yeah. You did." Even when they were dating, Charles always acted like he had it together. A strange feeling of deja vu was creeping up on him.
"Ah, I can't say, pup." Charles didn't make eye contact with Venti as he started putting on his clothes. "I shouldn't have even said I was datin'. You understand right, pup?"
Venti leaned back against the lockers, the cold chill of the metal against his fur fighting the feeling of numbness. "I doubt I'll ever understand you, Charles."
"Haw! Yer such a riot, pup."
Oh, I wish, Venti thought.

It seems like Venti's grown a lot since the beginning of the series, I would think. Even taking into account this convo with Otis, I might even go so far as to say that THIS Venti would have been able to make his relationship with either potential husbear work. :P As it is, the optimist in me is hoping that all parties involved have reflected on their mistakes and made changes to the point that they can all be friends.
*nods* Well your hopes are good ones, I can agree with you on the points youve made.
But then again, seeing as how the series has been so far and the writer being a realist as well i cant help but think that it can go one way or the other.
Despite Ventis maturity and growth so far, we cant forget how much of an egoist he is. He may let this affect him more then he lets on. The result could be slow and eroding or quick and explosive.
So i won't hold my breath, i'll react accordingly to the series, cause much like real life, the easiest way to have things go wrong is to try and predict where their going. So i wount set myself up for disappointment.
