 Angus got up, off the couch, and ambled into his bathroom, shutting, and locking the door behind him with a clunk. Angus contemplated himself through the mirror, taking off his glasses. Everything was smudged, as if he were in a dream. He set his glasses down on the sink, his eyes becoming watery.

 "Is this all I have?" Angus asked himself. "A cat and crocodile for friends, and a freaking fox for a boyfriend?" Angus turned on the sink, the cold side. "...At least I actually had a damn family before." Angus ducked his head down, into the water. He felt the frigid temperature descend into his eyes. He held his breath for a good twenty seconds, before coming up for air.

 "A-Angus! You okay?" Gregg's voice commented from the back of Angus's mind.

"Yeah. I'm just fine." Angus confirmed, obviously lying. A sigh crept from Gregg.

 "Fine, I'll leave you alone." He croaked out in a small voice, his footsteps fading away. Angus appeared at the door for a few seconds, before putting his paws under the freezing cold liquid. It stung.

 "Jeez, that is fucking cold." Angus cursed, cringing. He soon got used to the temperature, flipping his hands over so that his palms were being hit, his fur being forced downwards. He extended forward, his whole forearms going under the faucet. The stinging got worse, but Angus didn't blink an eye. The water extended to his elbows, dripping off like a saturated sunrise. He admired the water's elegance, the glimmer, and shine. 

 'It's much more lovely than I am.'
