We're just friends....Right?

Aftermath of dinner

Blaze taps the tip of her black heels staring at Zane as she sat with her arms crossed at his kitchen table. Her tail flicks and gold eyes look deep in her son's eyes. "Mom..... are you going to say anything or just stare at me" Zane said then Blaze sighs uncrossing her arms. "Ok I'm going to say it.... I know Zane." Blaze said leaning on the table. "Know what?" Zane asked eyes filled with nervousness. "Your father and I  know you're in love with Bonestine." She said and he froze in his chair. "Wh-what?! How?!" Zane asked as his cheeks started to turn pink. "We heard you and Britney's conversation by the window." She said and Zane sighs then tells his mother everything from the day of the fall, how he thought Bonestine's cousin was his girlfriend and to the first fight. Blaze sees his regret and heartbreak as tears fall from his eyes. "I don't know what to do mom! I fucked up! If I had just asked him who the girl was maybe!.....maybe he and I wouldn't be fighting.... We would be together...." Zane said as his ears flatten and his tail lays motionless. Blaze gets up from her chair and wraps her arms around her son. He cries into her chest as she pets his soft cat fur in a motherly way. Her ears flatten, feeling her son's pain but doesn't know how to help him for once. All she could do is comfort her son and hope that something will come and take away his pain.

Bonestine sits on the couch in his house wearing a black nickelback shirt and sweatpants staring mindlessly at the tv. He lifts up a clear glass bottle making the dark purple liquid sway until the tip of the bottle pressed against his lips. He takes a gulp of the carbonated wine cooler and gasps once he releases the bottle from his lips. A commercial comes on the screen advertising the latest song for the band and he leans forward seeing Zane smiling playing the drums. "Zane....." he sighed. "I'm assuming you're thinking of apologizing?" A male voice said making Bonestine jump up and spilled the drink in his hand in the process. He looks up and sees Shadow in jeans, a red sweater, and black boots standing there with his arms crossed. "Fuck dad don't scare me like that!" Bonestine snapped at his father. "What are you even doing here much less how the fuck did you get in?" Bonestine asked, walking past Shadow and into the kitchen for paper towels. "Well I was knocking and ringing the doorbell so when you didn't answer I used the spare key you gave me and your mother." Shadow said, dropping his arms and following his son. "I didn't know sorry..." Bonestine said. "I mean you appeared to be in your own little world. Now what the fuck is going on with you? Your mother and I are getting really worried about you." Shadow said, watching his son toss the bottle into the sink. "Nothing dad" Bonestine said and left the kitchen then down the hall to his room. "God he is so my son..... so fucking stubborn." Shadow thought and followed his son. He gets to his son's open bedroom door just as Bonestine was putting on an AC/DC shirt. "Bonestine I know you're lying son." Shadow said leaning on the doorway and Bonestine sighed. "Have you..... have you ever been in a situation where a friend gets drunk and confesses feelings for you......." He turned and faced his dad. "Not knowing that you felt the same?" He finished asking and Shadow's ear flick up as he raised an eyebrow. "That's very specific but no not really. Why?" Shadow asked, then saw Bonestine looking down and his fair tan muzzle started to turn red. Shadows' eyes widen realizing why. "Oh my god.... Who?" Shadow asked. "Z-Zane...." Bonestine said and shadows jaw drops in pure shock. "Dad..... say something....." Bonestine said. "Holy shit....." Shadow said then looked down thinking then his ears flicked and eyes widened again. "Now it all makes sense." Shadow said and leaned off the doorway. "Come on, let's talk about it and see if I could possibly help." Shadow said, walking up to his son and wrapping his arm behind Bonestine and rested his hand on his shoulder. "Ok... thanks dad but umm can we not tell meadow? I don't want her to tell Britney." Bonestine asked as they walked out of his room. "I promise but I will tell your mother about this," Shadow said. "That's fine."

"Zapella don't you think you were a bit harsh?" Ash asked as the four sat in the recording studio relaxing. "No I don't think I was. This Zane being in love with Bonestine is really killing me." She said and he sighs. "Fair enough.....  maybe we should tell Bones." he said and strums a few cords on his bass.  "What's the point in telling him. Besides we promised Zane even though he's still with Darcy" Ivy said. "She's right, we can't break a promise." Emma said. "I agree" zapella said. The four continued to talk as they loadeded up their instruments.

Little do they know that Darcy heard their conversation.
