Spencer

Out of the crowd that started to form, he saw the NPC with a quest icon motioning him over, he assumed that it was indeed the man that sent him a message for the quest he was about to take. Spencer sighed, looked down at his penguin, which nodded to him, and then he set out for the quest. He was nervous, mainly because he had no idea what was going to come from all of this. He walked forward, and realized it was less of a man, and more of a satyr. He smiled a bit and the man smiled back, the details of the quest were starting to appear in front of him on his HUD screen. Apparently he was to start in a cooking challenge with one of the goddess, Hestia. He gave a small chuckle, but continued to read, he was excited to talk to Hestia about all of this, considering he met her name sake. Wait, I'm facing off with a god of cooking, doesn't sound bad at all. He sighed, the thoughts of what is going to happen finally sunk in. Noot? His little penguin said and Spencer smiled a little nervous-like, but he was ready to do this.

Noot Noot!  Spencer heard his little Penguin call him, and he smiled a bit. Spencer had been lounging at the cliff side for sometime. After the party, the raining night that let all of his emotions spill out onto the floor, and onto his friend Teion, it was difficult for him to really figure out what his next step in life was going to be. He felt lighter, the pressure of love and the wanting of someone was gone, he could feel his emotions returning to himself, and not being thrown at Ryo in horrid attempts of attraction for a man.

Spencer sighed for a moment and raised his umbrella up, the sun was cutting barely through the clouds, and his eyes were being assaulted. He slowly sat up and scooped Noot up, who gave an adorable squeak and looked around. Spencer held the umbrella behind him, and began to stretch and figure out what he wanted to do from there. Okay, I came here to clear my thoughts, but I just feel dull. I need some new friends, some that don't know about all my crap, some that can be my friends without anything else happening inbetween. He sighed and shrugged to himself, it was very difficult for him to make friends, and he didn't know if this exactly was going to work, but he was hoping for the best.

Spencer gnawed on his lip as Teion started to talk about everything, apologizing for this and that, and feeling like the mood that Spencer was in was all her fault. Spencer gave a sad smile and he keeled down in front of her and took her hand. Spencer had no idea what was calming about the interaction, but something about it was. He sat on his knees and looked at the distraught woman, she was taking his own emotions and throwing it on to her body. His hand itches to take back the pain from her, wanting to take the burden she felt in his own pain and emotional distress. "Teion, I'm not going to act like I'm super okay and everything is great in my life, but I'm not going to act like it is your fault for everything. Ryo would have met someone else that wasn't you, if you didn't exist. My own mind wanted someone to latch on to, someone who could possibly love me." His voice caught for a moment, and his eyes dared to flow again, but he forced it back. "But, he isn't the one for me, I've come to that conclusion, I guess it just took you two in bed together to force my mind to know I wont be in the bed with him." He gave a sad chuckle and squeezed her hand softly.

When Teion mention that she didn't like him back, a pang of resentment ran through his body, but he tried his best to ignore it, but it lingered for a moment. This man, this great man, she doesn't even want him? How Dare she- Spencer stop, this isn't going to do anything for either of you. He gave a sigh and scooted Noot closer to the two of them. The penguin had a sad look on his face, but looked conflicted, like he didn't know exactly who to help first. Spencer smiled a bit and ruffled his feathery friend's head. Spencer sat fully on the ground and ran a hand through his hair, this was a bit of a predicament the two of the got themselves into. "Don't cut him out of your life." He spoke after a moment of silence. "Don't do it for my benefit, or even for any guilt you might feel. You two get along together very well, and that isn't something people find often. You are single after all... sorry if that is a touchy situation." He gripped his hands together, hoping he didn't push a nerve. "Anyways.... He's a good man, I should know more than anyone, I loved the man for.... a very long time. You can have your turn at the wheel, that is if you want that turn." Another pang of resentment rang through him, but he ignored it. "I'm not upset with you Teion, you're a... different woman... but not a bad one." Spencer nodded at that statement, and Noot climbed into her lap.
 

@Teion

Oof, where in the world did they go. Spencer frowned a little bit and looked around, trying to figure out where the group went, and why they were alone, well the three of them were alone together. Kairi had something to do, god knows what, and just HAD to leave, so Telrenya, Ryo, and Spencer talked with her and brought her to a safe area in order for her to use a teleport crystal to leave the dungeon. When the crystals of Kairi's teleportation had finally dissipated, the three of them were face to face with a dark portion of the dungeon, which now was lacking a player, and the rest of their group. "Well then..... Where did the rest of the group go?" He asked and turned to Ryo and Telrenya, the three of them were alone.

The group started to walk around the tunnels going through the dungeon, and it seemed that the noise of fighting caught up the three of them, when clashing of weapons and yells started to bounce off of the rock walls. The group ran forward, and they caught sight of the creature that they were going to have to fight, and it seemed to be a bit intimidating, at least to a level 20 that Spencer was. He sighed and took an item that he had in his inventory, a <<Safe Guard>> it would help him stay alive in the effect that he might be hit. "We're finally here, no thanks to you guys leaving us in the dus- Wait who are you?" Spencer saw a new man join the fight, but he didn't question it for the moment, the now seven of them had a boss to take of.

(No Action, Taking Item)

Spencer smiled a bit when he witnessed the first elite getting killed by Ryo, and then Telrenya injured the other one badly. He smiled at Hestia and shook his head. "Don't worry about Hestia, you are not alone with the missing and not hitting people, it is hard to hit these things. At least for me that is." He sighed a bit and shrugged, walking away and starting to get in position to attack the second elite. In the group of Telrenya and Spencer, it seemed that the Elite was really trying to go after Tel. Not on my watch, even though I can't hit something worth [censored]. He groaned a little bit at the information that he couldn't hit these ants, but he was hoping for the best.

He did not get the best that he wanted, unfortunately. However, when the elite went to go attack Telrenya, he was able to block the attack in time so she didn't get hit. The two of them clashed, Spencer holding the ant back from injuring Telrenya. "You ain't touching my friend today." He gritted his teeth and threw the ant back, giving the creature a death glare.

Spencer smiled a bit when Telrenya tried to encourage Spencer on, but he was still a bit worried about all of it. He knew he wasn't as strong as the others, but they made it past the one swarm of mobs, and past the mimic, so it seemed like their luck was increasing, but he didn't know how long this dungeon was really going to take. Man I'm nervous, but I have to keeo pushing through in order for everything to be okay, even tohugh I can't really do much in the effort of everything being okay. Oh well I usppose. He shrugged and watched Telrenya attack the first ant, taking a big chunk of damage out of it. Spencer smiled at her and got ready for the attack, but the second ant was already coming at him. He blocked the first attack with his shield, but the first one struck Telrenya. The secodn one used that as a distraction in order to push through Spencer and strike Telrenya again, taking a good portion of her health.

Spencer clung to his penguin for comfort, it felt like he was the only thing that could make Spencer even remotely happy right now. He cried silently for a moment.... then there was a knock on the door. His heart dropped, and the voice that followed it made his heart pang with pain. He bit his lip and sat there, he just wanted her to go away, he needed her to go away. He groaned silently and curled up closer into a ball, trying to drown out the noises in his head, and the voice outside. Noot, seeing Spencer in such distress, had an idea for him to be a bit happier. Noot slowly climbed up Spencer's body, which Spencer promptly ignored, and Noot jumped off of Spencer's shoulder and latched on to the door knob. Noot's weight slowly opened up the door, and the momentum, plus Teion's knocking, helped push the door slowly open.

The creak of the old hinges made Spencer look up for a moment, and he saw the door start to open. He gave a glare at Noot, he was going to deal with the penguin in a bit but then looked up to see a distressed Teion on the other side of the door. Spencer shot up, trying his best to look okay. He knew that it was all in vain, so after a moment, he let his body sag a bit more and he looked at Teion through wet eyes and disheveled bangs. I don't even know what to say to the woman, I don't hate her, I want to be her friend. But... I hate that I like Ryo. I know I will get over him, but I'm not there yet... and it is killing me. "H-Hi Teion... I'm not going to fake my emotions with you, you're too intelligent for that... I'm not okay." He mumbled and bit his lip, running a hand through his hair before he spoke again. "I'm not upset with you, please don't think that for some reason that I hate you, or that I can't be around you. You really are  friend of mine and I don't want to loose you as a friend. I-I like Ryo, as you can tell. He is the only guy I've met that likes guys, and is open about that. I latched on to him when I shouldn't have. And I dragged my emotions with him even though I knew I had to stop." His voice shook a bit.

"I want you to be happy. Dear god please be happy. If you like him, go for him. I refuse to be someone that stands in the way of someone being with someone else. I just..... I need time to fix myself... And I'm not sure how that is going to happen yet." He smiled sadly and gave the woman and soft hug. "I know I basically didn't give you a chance to talk," He laughed softly a bit before continuing, "But knowing that you even care to come talk to me when you knew something was wrong, that is enough for me to know you care." He wiped his face, and picked up Noot. He might have been faking his emotions a bit at the moment, but he was trying to put on a brave face and push forward with his problems and work everything out in time. She's a good woman..... Her and Ryo... They'll be good together. He looked at the woman, and Noot waved to her, a sad/happy look on his face. 

"Oh well if it was over kill, still pretty great that you were able to kill the dragon so easily, that takes skill no matter who you are." He smiled at Kairi, then looked at the time. He was surprised that it was actually still pretty early in the day. Of course Kairi had killed the dragon in one attack, but he was still surprised that it happened so quickly. He sighed a bit and opened up the quest line that he was following, and saw that he was going to have to start working on the second quest with bit stronger dragon to fight instead of the weaker one the two of them took on. "So, we are heading out to fight the second dragon today. Do you want to put another one into our plans today? I'm basically open, just crafting a bit once a day and now this quest line. Up to you really because I'm definitely good to go." He smiled a bit and shrugged to the girl, he was up for really anything. I wonder what all we could do today, it would be great and weird if we did all of them today, but that sounds hectic and tiring.

Spencer smiled and nodded, the young child waving at Hestia, and saw Noot and Kuro being really affectionate to each other. Spencer smiled at the penguin, and picked him up when he ran to him. Spencer smiled softly and cuddled him close, escorting the little girl out of the cave. Spencer felt the light hit him and he blinked a bit and winced at the light that was hitting him. Spencer shock his head for a moment, and finally was able to see everything that there was. Spencer yawned a bit and started to walk towards the woman, and smiled at the reunion of the two of them. Spencer smiled at it and turned to Hestia, running and giving her a hug. "Thank you Hestia, Really thank you. Over these past few days you have been helping me be happy, and believe more in myself when it comes to battle, that is very sweet of you and I really appreciate it." He smiled and looked up at her, he was glad to have her around.

Spencer nodded when she said something about the two of them going to the second floor and starting it as soon as this one was done with. Spencer gritted his teeth and expected the worst, not knowing how strong this Dragon really could be. Spencer rolled his shoulders and hot his shield and his mace out, ready for anything. "Okay here we go." He said to himself, and was about to get into a fighting stance, but Kairi went forward and struck the beast.... it getting one shoted. Spencer stood there for a moment, in shock. Oh wow that girl is strong. He thought to himself for a moment before taking a step forward, looking at everything that was left of the creature. "Oh wow, that was.. a lot easier than I thought it was going to be." He laughed and rubbed the back of his head. "Looks like we are going to be going to the second floor a bit faster than expected huh." He smiled and clapped for a bit to Kairi. "That was really good though Kairi."

Spencer smiled and Noot ran up to Hestia, waving and waving to Kuro as well, Noot seemed to really like Kuro. Spencer smiled a bit more and started to hear the soft echos of sobbing echoing through out the caves. "Okay little girl, where are you... Hmm.." He thought for a moment and started to walk, exploring the different paths of his quest's path, the map icon just gave a general location of where she could be. "I trust Noot with you, I'm going to head on ahead and find the girl." He smiled and nodded to Hestia, setting off to go looking for the little girl. Spencer started to walk through the caves, the noises starting to get louder and louder, till it seemed they were coming from everywhere. Okay... Where are you coming from exactly. He thought to himself for a moment and closed his eyes, intently listening to everything around him. It seemed to be coming from this different direction, and he turned and walked down that way, finding the little girl. Spencer held out a hand, and after a moments hesitation, she took his hand and stood up, the two of them walking towards Hestia, Kuro, and Noot.

Spencer blushed bright when Teion started to laugh at him with the reaction of everything, but he shrugged it off, it was pretty funny after all. Spencer looked behind and saw that Teion was starting to follow him, but he wasn't in as much of a rush that he was before, that was before he saw Noot trying to climb up a rock wall. He gasped and ran forward, scooping the Penguin off the wall. "Noot for heaven sake you could have gotten yourself killed." Spencer told him with major concern in his voice, and Noot whimpered softly and clung to him.

IN NOOTS MIND.

No! I made my father upset! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I MUST MAKE HIM LOVE ME AGAIN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

BACK TO REGULAR SCHEDULED ADVENTURE

Spencer smiled sadly and help the penguin close, slowly rocking him back and forth. "Please, please don't do that again? Or atleast if you do that, don't try to climb high rock walls or go places you don't know you are going? You really scared me." He smiled softly and kissed the bird's head, his feathers still slightly damp from the water he was playing in just a little bit ago. "I'm not mad at you, I promise Noot." He smiled and Noot happily Nooted and clung to the man.

IN NOOTS MIND

FATHER IS HAPPY YAYYYAAYAAAYYAAYAYAYA, Okay, Now.... I must make Mom Happy! Noot was starting to see Teion as mom, even though he met Hestia first as a female.

BACK TO REGULAR SCHEDULED ADVENTURE

Spencer set Noot down slowly, and Noot ran forward, picking up to small crystal shards and offering them to Teion, almost as an apology gift. Spencer's heart melted and he covered his mouth. "Oh my god he is precious." The knowledge of Noot running away went out of his mind because he was thinking Noot was being an adorable, adorable Penguin.

Spencer smiled a bit and heard Hestia start talking about how he was feeling like a wall, and how he could beat these bats easily. "Now, I wouldn't say invincible, but I am feeling stronger than I usually do, and feeling confident enough against these creatures at this level. Luckily you have helped with getting my familiar so my mitigation is much higher than usual, and thank you for that again." He smiled and heard a soft noot coming from the entrance of the cave. Noot was staying back away from the fighting just in case something could have happened to him. Spencer waved at noot and heard flapping coming from his side, and he knew it was time now. Spencer sighed slowly, then slammed his mace down hard. The bat was under it perfectly, and was able to crush the bat and kill it easily. Spencer holstered his mace and put his shield on his back. "Well, I'm glad that is done."

Spencer smiled and gave Kairi a soft sighed hug. "Well thank you for the Kairi, I understand the feeling of being lonesome, I really do, I'm glad that you have been able to get somewhere in your life that you are feeling a bit better about yourself and your standings with your life." He smiled again and let go of Kairi, continuing to walk. Spencer heard Kairi say something about how it shouldn't be that much longer and the two of them should be reaching the place pretty soon, She also asked Spencer if he wanted to do another one today, and he thought for a moment before nodding. "You know what, Yeah I think I would like to do another one before the end of today, give me some more experience and something to do." Just when he was about to complain about how far away it seemed that they were, the cave mouth slowly started to come forward. "Looks like that is it apparently, are you ready?" He asked the girl and looked at her, hoping she was prepared for all of this that was going to happen.

@Kairi

"Oh girl, I'm so much lower leveled than you are, if he gets into trouble I'm not gonna last long." He laughed a bit and kept running, that cute little penguin was giving Spencer trouble and he had no idea why all this was happening all of the sudden. Noot, what has gotten into you, you were loving on Teion and now you are deciding to just take off? Are you in like your teenage years and feeling rebellious? No... he's a baby of course not.... Freaken Noot. His mental notes on Noot's age stopped as they got to an underground waterfall cave, and Spencer had to take a moment just to look at it all. The light of the crystals made his eyes give off a grey/blue color as he started to take in everything. The sound of crashing water filled his ears, and a small Noot started to echo near the two of them.

Spencer turned, and saw Noot playing at the base of the waterfall, swiming through the crystal blue water, picking up rocks and moving them, almost as if Noot was looking for materials as well. Spencer smiled and his heart hurt with the adorable penguin trying to help the two of them out in their search. "Is this why you ran off Noot? To help us look?" He said and bent down to pick up the penguin, but Noot had other ideas. The penguin spit water into his face as a joke and made a laughing noise, before running off to an entrance behind the waterfall, a space between the water and the cave thin, but big enough for a human and a penguin. "Noot, are we seriously playing a game of tag or hide and seek? Could have at least warned us." Spencer turned to Teion and slowly wiped the water out of his face. "He's not like this ever, I think he is trying to play with us." He laughed and set off to find Noot again, sliding past the water.

Spencer smiled a bit and nodded when Kairi started to discuss what she was feeling, and how she was happy that he was getting where he needed to be. He bit his lip a little bit when Kairi started to talk about herself and the different things about her, how things weren't going the best for her and her decisions weren't going that well. He was glad that she said that she was going to be sticking around. "I'm glad you will be sticking around. Obviously I just got to know you, but I'm glad you will be around for the guild to get to know more, and for me to know more. You seem like a great girl, and I don't think anything will be changing my view of that statement." He smiled and looked down at her, their height a big difference. "So... how long till we get to the cave do you think?" He asked her and looked around the floor, he had no idea where the caves were. Wow, for someone who has been on this floor a lot, I really don't know where I am going. He shook his head mentally.

Spencer shrugged a bit and shook it all off, the worry and the stress that he was feeling that maybe something wont work well and he might not be able to do what he was suppose to do, that is killing these bats. He gripped his hands tighter and made his shield seem like a impenetrable wall, at least in his mind. Spencer sighed softly and charged forward, the two bats coming at him. Spencer stood in place and let the two bats come crashing towards his shield. He bit his lip a bit and the first bat evaporated on his shield, and the other struck him, but took a major amount of damage. Spencer sighed softly and lowered his shield for a moment and gave a thumbs up to Hestia. His health, thanks to his shields enchantments, already gained his health back to where it was. Spencer sighed a bit and shook his shoulders. "I'm actually starting to feel like a tank now, this is weird." He laughed.

Spencer smiled a bit when Teion scoffed at the mention of Erin, obviously not by name, but he was glad someone found it amusing that Erin was a complete jack ass. Spencer kept his rude thoughts about Erin aside and listened to Teion start to discuss all the friends and people she has known. He didn't recognize many, he knew Shield slightly, he was a shop owner who he got his shield from, and he knew of Beatbox, Telrenya's brother and the man who they had the memorial-thing for. The rest were completely lost to him on names. "You know a lot of people I don't. And Yeah I saw Piera was in the guild, I haven't met her yet, but that might change soon I don't know really, there are two people in the guild I haven't really met."

Spencer was trying to think of more conversation topics, but noot wiggled free of Teion's grasp and ran off, to what he had no idea. "Wait, Noot. Noot! Where are you going? You're like a foot tall!" He yelled and turned to Teion, not knowing what happened. I swear if that bird gets himself hurt, and what is even going on with him, did he get scarred? I'm a new penguin father, come on and help me out here Noot. He grumbled in his thoughts and turned to Teion. "I'm not sure exactly what just happened, I swear he isn't like this. Not sure what has exactly gotten into him right now." He huffed and ran after the surprisingly fast Penguin.

Spencer smiled happily that Teion and Noot were getting along well, the penguin seemed contempt in her arms and Spencer was more than okay with Teion holding the adorable penguin for a while on their journey. Spencer looked around the wall and wiped a piece of his hair out of his face, he was surprised by the quickness that Noot latched on to Teion, but if Noot had a good judge of character, Spencer trusted that Teion was actually a good person. Man, I don't know what to talk about fully, considering the fact the two of us aren't that close, luckily Noot is an adorable distraction for the both of us. He smiled at the thought, looking over at the happy baby penguin.

Spencer nodded a bit when he heard Teion speak about his guild, and smiled when she said they are nice. "My guild is a weird guild. Don't get me wrong it is a great guild, but still weird. We met at a haunted mansion, got a member at, basically, a memorial service, gained another one out of the blue, another on a supposed date," Spencer paused for a moment, looking around for a moment, "Another was a long time friend, and two were a couple. And also a douche bag but that is a long story that I'm not really allowed to go into all those details about." He smiled and paused, he had just talked a lot. "Who were some of your old friends? I don't know many people but I hear about a lot of people through the grape vine of lower levels."

Spencer followed along with Kairi, watching as the scenery slowly went by as they walked towards their destination. Spencer trusted that Kairi knew the way to where they were going, but Spencer still had his map at the ready just in case something happened and they couldn't really find their way. Spencer continued the trek with the woman, then she said something about what she was up to since she joined the guild, and then she asked him what he had been up to. "Well, I've been apart of this since the beginning, so it's been a major part of my time here. I got a familiar, a shop, a bunch of levels, some equipment... so basically everything I've done has been inside of this guild." He smiled and then looked down, seemed as though he had like no life what so ever. "I probably seem a tad bit boring considering the fact that I only ever do stuff with guild members, but to be fair guild members are the most fun to hang out with."

@Kairi

Noot Squeed happily and snuggled into Teion's hold, Nooting softly and looking up into Teion's eyes. "Man, he seems to like you. He didn't even do this when he met Hestia and me, well he cuddled me but kind of addressed Hestia's presence, but also was mostly focused on me." He smiled and looked at the happy penguin cuddled into the purple haired woman's arms. Spencer looked at that with a smile for a moment, but he continued on, shaking his thoughts from that. She never did mention anything about her complications with Ryo and her love life, probably best to leave it be considering she didn't say it the first time I asked.

Spencer walked along and felt something move against the cave wall, and he paused for a moment, turning to it. A small turquoise crystal was glowing in the wall, but it moved when Spencer touched it. Spencer picked it up, and the system registered it as a material. He smiled and set it in his inventory, turning back to look at Teion. "So, are you apart of any guilds? Or are you looking for one?" He asked and looked at the purple haired woman. He wasn't like pushing for her to join the guild or anything, but he also was wondering where you was on thinking about guilds.

His heart twitched when Teion said something about Ryo having feeling for her, but he pushed it aside, they couldn't pause their relationship for his own happiness. He sighed softly and listened, Teion talking about how it was complicated. He assumed another man was involved, or maybe another woman for Ryo. Whatever the case was, he was wondering if he really wanted to go fully down that path with questions, considering he was already not the happiest with the idea that Teion and Ryo might actually be together. "Sorry that things are complicated, want to talk about it? I've heard a lot of crap and I can deal with relationship troubles, or somewhat relationship problems." He mentally calmed himself down, and felt a tug at his cloak, the adorable penguin had finally awoken.

His lips turned from a frown to a small smile. "Don't worry my body isn't convulsing, just Noot." He muttered and unraveled his cloak, the penguin yawning and flapping his wings slowly, waking up. Noot's cute eyes blinked a couple times before he adjusted to the darkness of the floor. Noot looked up, then turned to Teion, cocking his head and going. Noot! And flapped, wanting down. Spencer set him down and Noot waddled over to Teion, bopping her shoe softly, and looking up at her, sticking his tongue out. "Teion meet Noot, my penguin. Noot, Meet Teion. My friend." He smiled at the last part.

Spencer smiled at Kimi, the blush on her face was adorable. "Well, the two of you are very cute, and I'm glad you are both finding someone who makes you happy. Lord knows that is hard to come by." He gave a smile and patted Kimi on the shoulder, walking away. Now where did you get to you adorable little penguin, aren't you exploring with Noodle? You two are so small this is going to be difficult. He sighed and climbed the stairs, the steps that both Ryo and Teion had used just moments ago. "I really hope you two haven't gotten yourself into trouble, your mother and me will be very upset with you." He said to himself and laughed, shaking his head.

Spencer paused for a moment when he heard movement, and the adorable noise of Noot. He smiled and was about to open the door, but a distressed noise caused his heart to jump and him to grasp. He was worried for the worst, maybe Noot was hurt, maybe something worse just happened. Spencer pulled the door open quickly, just to see a distressed Penguin running towards Spencer and grabbing on to his leg, almost like the little Penguin didn't want Spencer to see what was going on. Spencer looked up, spotting Noodle. "Hey there little guy, what have you been up to? Is Noot fine?" He picked up the two animals, looking at Noodle and Noot for a moment, Noot seemed to be trying to push Spencer out of the room. "What is going on-" He voice caught in his throat, what he saw in front of him spelled out exactly what was going on.

Spencer blinked once, twice, but yet he couldn't shake the nightmare he was walking into. Something awoken inside of him, and all he wanted to do was be asleep. He bit the inside of his cheek softly, then harder to stop any out cry he had at the moment. His legs, wobbly from over running emotions, slowly allowed him to stand on shaky steps. "S-so Sorry Y-Y-You two. I didn't know you two..." He gulped and turned around, almost slammed the door shut as he left the room. Spencer gasped and ran to the next room, setting Noodle down in the process, his heart beating loud and painful. He slammed the door shut of the other room and pressed his back against the door, gasping for breath he didn't know was gone from his lungs. His mind was running a million miles a minute, while his body wanted to stop everything. Please no....

He slowly slid down to the floor and shook his head. He knew, deep in his soul, that there was nothing going to happen with him and Ryo, he knew that. The same thought ran in his mind Every. Single. God. Damn. Day he was in this game. He understood that. But why, why does this hurt so much that crying isn't enough? Why is feeling sad not something that can comprehend my emotions any more? Why isn't this... enough. He felt a hot tear rolled down his face, then another one, then a waterfall of why am I not good enough fell from his eyes and hit the ground. "Why didn't you want to be with me Eric-" He stopped and covered his mouth, that name was something he forced himself to forget. No! do NOT think of him, he was something that is never going anywhere! Do NOT think of him Spencer. STOP.

Spencer rubbed his eyes and made a small noise with his crying, pausing and covering his mouth, he didn't think about everyone else in the building, he had no idea if no one was going to hear him crying. Noot, the adorable fluff of black and white fur, coed softly and rubbed against the crying man's leg, trying to comfort him in any way that he could. He smiled a little bit and picked up the penguin, cuddling the creature close to his chest. "Thank you Noot." He mumbled and felt the penguin wipe away a tear that he felt forming on his eye. He sighed softly and looked up. "I am over him, I need to force myself over him. It isn't his fault, it is not her fault. It is not anyone's fault. This is my [censored] to deal with and I will deal with it. I'm not in love with Ryo, I do not want him." He said, and started to repeat it slowly, he needed all of that to be true.... he needed it to be true more than he needed anything else to be true at that moment.

And starting now... it was finally starting to become true.
