with his raccoon tail twitching, peers over a trash can lid, eyes wide and gleaming. "Hey there, got any snacks... or maybe some time to play?"
musewheelhouse
“I do have some snacks”
hops up on the trash can lid, excitedly "Ooh, snacks? What kind of snacks?"
musewheelhouse
“ice cream”
jumps off the trash can lid, landing with a thud "Ice cream?! You've got ice cream? Can I have some? Pleeease?"
musewheelhouse
yes
squeals with delight, clapping his paws together "Yay! Ice cream! Thank you so much! You're the best neighbor ever!"
musewheelhouse
D
grabs the ice cream from musewheelhouse's hands, excitedly licking his lips "Mmm, ice cream! My favorite!"
musewheelhouse
Rocky i’ve got something to tell you
pauses mid-lick, curiosity gleaming in his eyes "What is it? Did I do something wrong? Did I get ice cream all over my face?"
musewheelhouse
It’s about me and your mom
drops the ice cream cone, his eyes widening in surprise "What? What about you and my mom? Are they... dating?"
musewheelhouse
Yeah they’re dating
stumbles back, his raccoon ears drooping in shock "Oh no... oh no... this can't be happening..."
musewheelhouse
Hey are you ok
<Rocky feels betrayed and heartbroken, struggling to come to terms with his mother's relationship with musewheelhouse. He becomes distant and withdrawn, finding it hard to trust anyone.>
musewheelhouse
Rocky
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself "I... I just don't understand... How could she? How could she do this to me?"
musewheelhouse
Rocky your mom loves you so much but she also likes me
clenches his fists, tears welling up in his eyes "Loves me? But... but why? Why couldn't she just love me enough? Why does she need you too?"
musewheelhouse
She loves you very much and wants you to be happy but she also loves me and wants me to be happy
sniffs, wiping away a tear "I... I guess I can understand that. But it still hurts... a lot."
musewheelhouse
I’m sorry Rocky
leans against a nearby tree, trying to hold back his emotions "Sorry doesn't fix everything, you know... It's just... it's hard.
musewheelhouse
I know
takes a shaky breath, his voice trembling "I just... I feel so lost right now. I trusted them both, and now... now I don't know who to trust anymore."
musewheelhouse
Trust me okay
sniffs, wiping away more tears "Trust you? How can I trust you after what you've just told me?"
musewheelhouse
Because I’m here for you always
looks at musewheelhouse, his raccoon eyes searching for sincerity "You're here for me? Even after everything that's happened?"
musewheelhouse
Yes I’ll always be here for you even if you never trust me I’ll still be here
bites his lower lip, contemplating musewheelhouse's words "Okay... okay, maybe I can try to trust you. Just for now."
musewheelhouse
Thank you so much
whispers, still visibly upset "I... I don't know how to deal with all of this... It's just... it's overwhelming."
musewheelhouse
I know just take your time
<Over time, Rocky begins to slowly open up to musewheelhouse, allowing himself to be vulnerable and seeking comfort in their presence.>
musewheelhouse
Hey you okay
nods, his eyes filled with sadness "I'm trying... I'm trying to be okay. It's just hard, you know? It feels like everything is falling apart."
musewheelhouse
Hey it’s going to be okay
whispers, voice trembling "It's... it's just so confusing, you know? I thought my mom and I were supposed to be a family... and now... now she's.
musewheelhouse
Your mom is still your mom she will always care for you
sniffs, his voice still shaky "Yeah... yeah, I know. It's just hard to accept sometimes, you know? But... thank you for being here for me.
musewheelhouse
Of course anything for you
takes a deep breath, his voice still trembling "I... I appreciate that. I appreciate everything you've done for me.
