Living Under A Loaded Gun

"Well, I like you..." Yikes, yikes, so much yikes in such a small, mushroom covered package. She said it in a way that reminded him of a pup and he did not like it. The further they got into this conversation the more baffled Jupiter became. This was not normal. He wasn't about to use the 'm' word but they were both grown ass adults. She should know what he was talking about. Surely she'd had heat cycles before, right? If she had, it was a marvel she'd made it this long without discovering sex. Where had she been all of her life? He had so many questions.

And you know what? He actually didn't really want any answers. Nah, he was ready to cut his losses here. This was just too strange for him. It had been a roller coaster, that was for sure. A short one, yeah, but a roller coaster all the same. He'd been reunited with a childhood friend, thought he was getting lucky, very nearly got sprung, and then it all fell apart and devolved into whatever this was. "Well, it's okay," Jupiter of course was lying through his teeth, but he could see the look on her face and he didn't want her to feel any worse. He just didn't want to deal with her anymore, either. "Don't worry about it, everyone learns at different speeds, you know."

He cleared his throat and sighed really loudly before getting to his paws. "You know what? I think it's time for me to head home. It's been great, though. I'm glad I got to see you again." Jupiter started to move towards the tunnel to the surface. "Take care, alright? Maybe we'll run into each other again some day." His movements were casual and unhurried, but he couldn't get to the outside world fast enough. This was just to strange for him - and that was saying a lot.
