(Follow-up to my blog last night, "Love Notes")
Zenex sat at a table in the cafeteria, smiling and waiting for his date. As he waited, it soon went from being noon to 12:30. Then 12:40. Zenex began to get worried, biting his bottom lip and looking around. He sighed and was about to get up, when a piece of paper folded into an airplane landed on the table.
Zenex grabbed it and opened it frantically. First, he saw his own note, but only the part with his question.
Would you want to go on a date?
☑ Yes
◻ No
Yes had been checked off...
It was stuck to a second paper, which he pulled off to read. The first thing he noticed was that it was covered in tear stains.
I'm sorry Zenny...
I didn't realize it was past noon, I was nervous about the date. B-But while I was trying to get brave enough to join you...
I saw Flutterwings. Zenny, she's upset...I think she knows...
Go to her. She was here first, she can probably make you happier...
I'll be okay, being best friends is enough for me. And even royalty can't always get what they want.
I 
you, always.
Xoxo, Apex
P.S: I guess there's no use hiding it now, huh? You know who it is by now. Smarty Zen-Zen
Zenex's eyes widened as he read it. He clutched it and the original note close, clenching them in one hoof as he took off, leaving the cafeteria to find Flutterwings.
Wow—

Yep...
Oof, poor Zenny
5472466
Mhm...
Ouch, talk about a moment ruined. Are we about to see a pissed off Zenex?
5472467
5472469
Dunno
5472470
*Crying in a corner* "I didn' wanna do i'...Zenny..."
5472473
Heh...
5472475
Seriously tho
What happens next?
5472474
Well, if not then have him remember the golden rule of Both is Good.
5472476
"B-Bu'...F-Flutterwings was...she go' to him firs'..."
5472477
No idea...
5472478
Except Polyamory won't work, because Apex is gay. And I don't think he'd be up to sharing Zenny
5472481
His loss then.
5472481
Well, there’s still the “Vee” structure
5472481
Oh
5472482
*Crying harder*
5472483
I guess...
5472484
Yep...
5472485
Good.
5472486
"H-He pro'ably lo'es her more..."
5472487
Toast, he wants to be with Zenny but he can't change his sexuality
5472491
*Sniffles, wiping at his eyes* "B-Bu'...wha' 'm I s'posed t'do?"
5472489
When was changing sexuality ever on the menu? Apex is learning the first rule of life: can't always get exactly what he wants. You either improvise, adapt, and overcome or you lose and end up crying in the corner. Seems like he's choosing the latter.
5472494
Give him a bit to get it out of his system, then we'll see
5472495
"B-Bu' I don' wanna take him 'way from someone he lo'es..."
5472498
Alright.
5472499
Mhm
5472501
"O-Okay...I-I'll go look for him..."
5472501
...Seriously?
5472505
This will not end well.
5472504
*Hesitates, but gets up and follows Zenex* "Z-Zenny!"
5472506
We shall see
