Zelk awoke to still being in Spifey's embrace. He smiled and snuggled back into him, knowing the beaver was still asleep.
Ding!
The sound of a text from Zelk's phone caught the attention of the tiger. He carefully slipped out of Spifey's arms and grabbed the phone to see that the text was from Mega. He opened it and read.

Uncute Mute
Hey, I'm sorry about what happened on Twitter. They forced me to tell them. I explained to Skeppy, and he demoted those trial mods, but it's too late.

Confused, Zelk opened Twitter to find that three trial mods had posted screenshots of Mega saying in private chat that he used to be Zelk's boyfriend. People had retweeted it a lot of times, and the reaction was mixed. A handful of people had tweeted to Zelk that he was disgusting, and the usual homophobic bullshit. A good few of them were going crazy, going on about ships, and asking if ZelkPVP would ever be true again. The overwhelming response, however, was people tweeting to Zelk and Mega that they're sorry that they were outed, and that those trial mods had no business posting that. A few extreme defenders went as far as saying that the trial mods should be banned or blacklisted from the server. Even if people had largely supported him, a few tears fell down his face. He didn't want to tell everyone- it wasn't their business. And if he was going to, he wasn't ready. It was his news to share, and he and Mega could have told people they used to be a thing together. Instead, he was outed now, and by a bunch of trial mods. He saw that he had text from Skeppy, BadBoyHalo, and all of the mods from InvadedLands, but he didn't read them. He was too upset. He turned his phone off and let it all out.
"Zelky?" Spifey said, groggy but concerned. "What's wrong?"
"Three new trial mods on Invaded... they- they found out that I used to date Mega... and they- they posted it o-on Twitter..." Zelk grabbed Spifey and buried his face into his chest, crying.
"There, there," Spifey said, holding Zelk close, running a hand through his hair. Spifey ran to his own room quickly, and coming back with his phone, typing something.
Ding!
Zelk saw that the notification was a tweet from Spifey. He opened it to see what Spifey had said. Spifey tagged Zelk, Mega, and the trail mods that posted the thing. The tweet read "Yeah, yeah, Zelk is bisexual. Big deal. I, myself, and strictly gay. I don't know what Mega identifies as, but we're all human. Love each other, and don't go telling other people's secrets."
"You're gay?"
"Yeah," Spifey said, scooting closer to Zelk. "Since you got outed, I wanted to be out too, so you didn't feel alone." Zelk gave Spifey the longest hug, crying into him.
"How did I ever get so lucky as to have a friend like you?"
"It's okay, Zelky. It's okay. How about we go out to Denny's for breakfast? That way, you can feel better." Zelk nodded, smiling. I have the greatest friend in the world!
