Angst ends with a bit of floof
Backstory: Doc just saw Bdubs cheating on him with Etho, so he went to Ren for help :)

I could feel the tears flush down my face as I went to Ren's door. My whole body felt numb as I knocked on the hard wooden door. As the door was opened Ren looked shocked. “Are you alright Doc?” His voice shaked but before he could think, I pulled Ren into a tight hug and rested my shin on his head. I was shaking a lot as I wrapped my arms around him.

As Ren pulled away he just looked at me. Before gripping onto the cyborg hard and pulling me to the black leather couch. “Doc… what happened?” His eyes were filled with gloominess. “I-I'm gonna murder… E-Etho and Bdubs…” My voice was cracking as I spoke. “Why…? Aren't you dating Bdubs?” I shook my head. “He prefers Etho over me.” I forced out a small smile. Before I could speak once more I felt Ren hug me once more. “One day I'll get revenge on you Doc, I promise.” His words calmed me as I knew he would stay by my side.

“If you want you can stay here until you're ready to face Bdubs again.”
I nodded as I hugged him tighter. My natural eye stopped stinging as the tears were no longer falling. As I didnt feel the need to cry as much, since now I had an excuse to hang out with Ren, who I knew would be alot more loyal.

As we sat there I heard a brief knock on the door. Ren went to open it as I trailed behind. As the door was shifted open a masked figure stood there. White hair dropping down their face, and a scar down his red eye.

Etho. “What do you want, Jerk..?” Ren's response made me smile as I thought it was an appropriate one for the person. “To say sorry, I didn't know about Doc and Bdubs. I just thought you should know.” His eyes were dim as he started to go back to wherever he came from. “Did you break up with him?” I asked filled with curiosity. He just nodded. “I do love him, but I can't be a homewrecker.”His gaze was directed at his feet as he obviously wasn't comfortable talking to us.

“You don't have to break up with him if you don't want to, it doesn't bother me. Just be careful of him.” Ethos eyes lifted as I spoke. “I don't think I will… know that he has a past in cheating.” I smiled slightly before Etho went off to his base.

“You handled that Well Doc.” Ren said before closing the ajar door. “Only because I had you Ren.”
