April 13th, 1912, 6:55 PM

At the bow of the ship, there was a party planned that night to celebrate that the ship was at her half way point, in 3 days, Titanic would arrive at the White Star Line port in New York, it was going to be a grand old time, there would be some whiskey and rum that some of the 3rd Class Passengers smuggled aboard, there would of course be dancing. Foxy helped get things set up, everyone was getting excited about later, slowly, and noticeably, the passengers stopped talking, there was silence, and passengers were looking at the entrance. Foxy followed their glances to see what everyone was looking at.

It was Otto.

"H-Hallo.." Otto says in a nervous voice, seeing this interaction.

"Did you get lost, silver spoon?" A Irish man said as a couple of passengers chuckle, they were surprise to see a rich person in a place like this.

"Aye lad, this ain't the place for you. Probably should leave before someone tries to mug you for those shoes.." another Irish man said as he stood in front of Otto, towering over him, Foxy quickly got in between them.

"Don't worry, he's here for me, he's nice and friendly and won't cause any trouble, I saved his life last night, he almost fell of the back of the ship, probably coming to thank me" Foxy said, lying twice, so that everyone wouldn't get mad that he was going to a fancy dinner.

"J-Ja, I'm sorry to take him away from your celebration, but I need to speak to him and show him my appreciation" Otto said, still nervous, grateful for Foxy's bravery.

"If you insist.." the taller Irish man said as he stepped away, the two canines began to walk up the stairs and onto the deck.

"Are you ok? I hope you weren't intimidated by them, I'm sure... most of them don't mean harm" Foxy said as they walked up to B-Deck.

"It's fine.. there were a lot of them, cramped in such small quarters.. I didn't expect it to be that bad.."

"that's just the lounge, deep below, its way worst, the hallways are small and cramped, I almost got lost down there, it's like a maze"

"Gott, I hope they were exaggerating about the shoes.."

—

They finally reach Otto's cabin, Otto had found a note on his bed in German.

Me and your mother have gone to the Turkish bath to get ready for tonight's dinner. We want Foxy to be dressed as formally as possible, do not embarrass us.

"Assholes..." Otto muttered as he threw the note in the garbage.

"What did it say?"

"Oh it's just them and their ego, nothing to worry about" He smiled as he hands Foxy his clothes. "Here you are, I do hope they will fit"

"I'm sure they will" He takes the suit and they stand there awkwardly, Otto looked Foxy up and down, think about how handsome he was going to look"

"Uh, I need to change, unless you want to watch me" Foxy said jokingly, somewhat serious, he was also blushing. Otto blushed as well.

"OH! Haha! I forgot you need to change in private, haha, I'll wait outside!" Otto left his room and closed the door, part of him did want to watch. Both of them wanted that. They started to slowly realize that they were becoming attracted to each other.

Foxy began changing, getting fully nude as he put on the new clothes, he went to look in the mirror, he turned around, they fit him well. He picked up his clothes and folded them neatly on Otto's bed. Otto hummed as he kept waiting, really nervous if his parents would be.. Themselves during dinner. Foxy opens the door "I'm ready, how do I look?" Foxy said as he did a little spin. Without hesitation, Otto replied.

"You look very handsome" Otto said smiling, he really did, "let me brush your hair" Otto grabbed a brush and began to comb the fur on top of Foxy's head "to make you look like you are one of us a little bit more" as Otto brushed Foxy's hair, he occasionally looked into Foxy's yellow eyes, and Foxy would look back, both blushing, both felt a deep attraction to each other, despite knowing each other for 2 days, they already had created such a strong bond, they understood each other very well. Both had a similar dream, to start new, to travel the world, to explore, to live without anyone else telling them how to live. Otto looked down at Foxy and held his hand, they both stared at each other. however Foxy didn't want to scare Otto and looked in the mirror.

"You did a wonderful job" he said as he fixed his tie while looking at his hair "we should get going"

Otto was a little sad, thinking that Foxy may not have feelings for him? Otherwise he would have gotten to first base, or maybe, they were starting out slow.

"You're right, let's do this Foxy"

—

They left the room and began headed towards the grand staircase, Foxy was in awe, he was impressed by how beautiful this ship was up here.. the difference was staggering, he couldn't look away from anything, It was iconic, someone would definitely make this into a set piece, maybe in a play, or a moving picture someday, as they started heading down the decks, Foxy started getting nervous, he wouldn't know if these passenger would know he was of their status, but he took a deep breath, he knew he would fit in with his façade.

"Wow, long way down huh?" Foxy looked over at Otto as the farther down they went, the more passengers there were.

"ja, it is truly a work of art this section of the ship truly is"

"I wonder how long it took to make this ship, the blood, sweet and tears, i heard her construction was but on hold due to her sister ship crashing into a British warship"

"Ja, there's a lot of tension in the areas surrounding Central Europe. They say they expect a war, I think it's ridiculous. A war with all our modern knowledge?"

"well, I'm a Pacifist, I don't believe that war and violence should happen, its unnecessary"

"It's especially stupid considering the possibly damage our modern technology can inflict upon a person"

"Right? I hope the tension can cease and we can go back to not living in fear, I hope I never have to see a war in my life"

They finally reach the last set of stairs, there was already chattering

"So is this like a party? how do I act?" Foxy asked, a little nervous now, looking around at the other passengers in their elegant, expensive clothing.

"It will.. be rather quiet in comparison to what you may be used to. The food will be rather nice, and the conversations tend to be about business and politics, stuff that the upper class actually have a hand in if you understand.

"oh yeah totally" Foxy smiled at him, he looked ahead, seeing 2 wolves, both their ears were red like Otto's "I'm gonna guess that's them?"

"Ja, that would be them" Otto took a deep breath as they met up with his parents "Hallo Vater, mother" he smiled, a fake ass smile but a convincing one.

"We were just about to come and get you, ah Foxy, the clothes, I see you dressed well, you could almost pass as a gentleman" Wilhelm said, smiling at Foxy.

"Almost as good as you sir" Foxy smile back

"we have a reservation with Ismay, I'm sure you remember him Otto, we sadly are with that vulgar Brown woman" Marie said.

"Oh? Margaret Brown? Well, that'll be interesting. Regardless I'm sure it will be a nice dinner outing nevertheless!" Otto said, glad that there was another person who would accept him, the other being Foxy.

"I don't think we met, I'm Foxy Piratson, I save your son's life 2 nights ago" Foxy shook hand, she seemed like she didn't want to, in fact, she didn't want to.

"pleasure meeting you" Marie said, wiping her hand while no one was looking, what a bitch, everyone made their way to the table, Otto introduced Foxy to other high powered passengers, John Jacob Astor and his wife were among one of them. They sat down, Foxy sat with Molly while Otto sat between his parents.

—

And just like the other dinners it was boring, sure, the Food was amazing, Foxy enjoyed a lot of it, the gossip was interesting, it went to some homophobia which Otto was right, his father really was a dick, his mother wasn't any better, the dessert was awesome however. It was still better than anything Foxy dealt with downstairs. At least the prices had good taste in food. Mainly because they actually had a choice. After everything, the men and Wilhelm got up to say they were going to the smoking room for brandy and poker, while the women stayed here to gossip more.

"well thank you Foxy, hope you enjoyed the dinner, but I think it is best you get going with your people"

"Yes, I think it is time for me to go row with the other slaves, thank you for the dinner" Foxy said smirking as Otto's eyes widened at the comment, But he agreed with him to say it to him.

Wilhelm gave me a pat on the shoulder "Goodnight Foxy he said as he walked past Foxy walked up to Otto. Otto hugged Foxy "thank you once again for saving my life, In more ways than one"

Foxy was a little surprised by the hug, though others were too busy talking and eating, Marie however was watching in the corner of her eye of course, Molly gave them a thumbs up.

"Does she know.. About us?" Foxy said whispering.

"Yeah, I told her, she supports us" Otto whispered back as he let go of the hug.

"I guess this will be the last time I see you Otto"

"Yes it will be" Otto said, both knew it wouldn't, they both knew they were determined to make sure that was not the case.

"Well, goodnight Otto" Foxy reached out his hand to shake his hand as Otto took it, but, He noticed something, a crumbling sound. Foxy let go and walked away, something was in his hand, he put it into his pocket and a few minutes went by, when no one was looking, he decided to look at it, pulling it out of my pocket and read it to himself.

"Meet me at the clock at 12 AM, look for the tall handsome red fox"

Otto smiled and put the note away, he would leave when his parents were asleep.

—

Otto closed his cabin door behind him, his parents sound asleep, he was successful as everything else was easy from here, he began walking towards the grand staircase, the hallways were very empty, like a ghost ship almost, the light were still on however, there was still life, It was hard to believe such a ship like this wouldn't have tons of people up all the time. and there Foxy was, checking the clock, and as Otto walked up the steps, right as the clock turned 12.

April 14th, 1912, 12 AM

"Foxy" Otto smiles as he gives a hug. He hugs back.

"Otto," he smiled back" So, you want to go to a real party?"

"Hm?" Otto seemed confused and then he remembered that the 3rd class was hosting a party.

"That back there? That wasn't a party, I do not know what you called that, but I will show you a REAL party, with dancing, singing, upbeat music, you will love it"

"Would I even be welcomed there?" Otto asked in a nervous tone, remembering the threat about having his shoes stolen.

"I'm sure they won't mind, if anyone tries to hurt you I will protect you"

"If you insist, by all means, any time to spend with you is worth it" Otto said as Foxy took his hand and led him to the front of the ship, Otto could already hear the music and passengers cheering, it already sounded better than a party on the 1st class deck. They went down into the bow, everyone was cheering and dancing, there was even a band playing, the instruments included bagpipes, violins, spoons, drums, others were drinking beer.

"Wow! This is lively!!" Otto said as It was pretty loud but everyone here seemed genuinely happy. Foxy saw Joseph dancing with his wife along with many others, they were having a blast as their kids along with other kids chased a mouse, the older girls screamed as men laughed.

"Do you think we can dance like that?" Otto said as a joke.

"Only one way to find out! Come on!" Foxy takes Otto by the hand as they get on top of the cargo hatch. They tried to keep up with the pace. This type of dancing was new to Otto, who was used to much slower classical music. He loved this!

"Wooo!" Foxy had Otto close to him as other passengers joined in, at one point, Foxy began making them spin around.

"Hahaha!! Wooo!!" Otto screamed, they were getting closer together, having good chemistry doing this together. Thankfully Otto had training because otherwise he believed the speed would catch up to him. The beat got faster and more energetic as they held each other closer.

"So how's this for a party!?" Foxy said, sweating a little.

"It's tiring in a way that's fun haha!!" They were able to stick closer together and not fall apart with the faster pace.

"You want to slow down and get a drink!?" Foxy was slowing down a little for him, even if it meant they were dancing off beat.

"Ja, that would be really nice!!" They came to a slow stop and got off the cargo lid to get the drinks.

"alright, here you go, hope you are the legal age of drink-"

"Ha, nein!" Otto said as he gulped it all down before coughing. His first ever drink, Foxy laughed as he drank as well, the music calmed down as well, there were a few drunk men, falling over as they took swings of beer. It was all and all really fun. And Otto had only been here for a short amount of time.

"Thank you for taking me here Foxy!"

"Of course, I hope your parents don't know you're awake haha!"

—

"Otto is missing," Wilhelm said, shaking his wife.

"Hmm.. huh? what?" She got up and rubbed her eyes "Something is wrong with that child... Do we try to find him?"

"I'm sure he will come back. this is a ship, there's only so many places he can go. and I think I know who he is with"

—

The music had picked up again, everyone was dancing and clapping to the beat, Otto was quite drunk, Foxy decided to stay a little sober so he could take Otto back to his cabin.

"MMm ahhh verdamn.. I feel a bit sick" Otto said after having his 4th drink.

"yeah, that happens the first time you get drunk, you want me to take you back to your cabin Otto?"

"Ja..." he said as he was hiccuping, he couldn't walk straight. Not like he was straight anyways. He helped him up.

"Goodnight everyone, taking this handsome fellow back!!" Foxy said as everyone cheered, say goodnight and fare thee well. They began walking towards the cabin, as they got to Forward Well Deck, Otto slowed down. "Are you feeling ok? You need to vomit?"

"Nein.. nein.. OH GOTT!" Otto stumbles to the railing as he throws up into the sea. Thankfully Foxy held him before he potentially threw himself overboard.

"Oh god, Not you trying to go overboard again haha"

"I'm not trying.. this time..." he leaned against him again once he was done vomiting. they began walking back to the room, Foxy still holding on to Otto, right up the stairs and into the hallway until the reach the cabin.

"alright, you get a good night sleep" Foxy smiled as he let go of Otto's arm, Otto could stand a little better.

"Foxy.. I don't want this night to end, but it must, I had so much fun with you... I really did" Otto hugged him again, they both hugged each other tight, not wanting to let go, they felt their hearts pounding.

"I'll see you tomorrow? Or.. later today I suppose heh"

"Of course, same place, haha, get rest Otto"

Otto opened the door and stepped into the room, looking back at Foxy, both of them smiled as Otto shut the door slowly as Foxy walked away, Otto turned around... To face his parents with an angry look.

"Where were you and... ughh, why do you smell!?" Marie said, covering her nose.

"A-AH mother.. f-father.. I was uhhhhhhhhhh, at a uh-" he couldn't think up of a lie.

"I see the Fox got you all drunk, What were you thinking?! you realize this could tarnish our reputation?" Wilhelm yelled.

"Haaaaa, ja, tarnishing our reputation. I'm sure our reputation means sooo much, with youuu and mother constantly ranting about homosexuals. You mention it so much it makes me wonder about youUUuu!" Otto said in a silly but drunken mood, He was pissed and somewhat the cracks were coming through.

"I can say the same about you Otto, he has been spending way too much time with you, he might be being friendly, but he has been making advances towards you without you caring, hugging you, giving you notes, cause your mother watched, and now he's getting you pissed drunk? I think he might be a homosexual"

"Wellllll father, it seems to me you're just jealous about not having a good time. Forgive me, but I must go to bed. Guttenn Nachtt" Otto laughed stumbling towards his bedroom.

"And don't even think about seeing him again" Marie said as Otto's heart dropped, he turned around snapping out of his drunkenness.

"You can't do that, I'm an adult and can choose who I spend time with!"

"THAT IS FINAL" Marie screamed, Otto stayed quiet, never being yelled at by anyone before, he closed his bedroom door and collapsed on the bed and cried into his pillow.
