Heath anxiously paced all day and night after Lycanna let him go and left him leaning against the lockers of the hallway.

The fire elemental looked frantically for a bushel of bright blond hair the next morning, trying to catch the werecat he had been concerned about.

“Eloise!”

Heath called when he finally spotted him, the werecat looking down at a note in his hands, his ears not even twitching when Heath said his name.

“Eli, baby!”

Heath smiled when he caught the werecat’s hand before he could move.

“Eeek!”

Eloise squeaked at the sudden contact, his tail bristling out into an orange puffball. “Oh,” Eliose said after a moment, calming himself, but his tail remaining in its fluffed state, showing his unease. “I don’t really want to talk to you, Burns.” Eloise said curtly, “I have to go see Headmistress Bloodgood, so if you’ll excuse me,” Eloise attempted to slip his arm away from Heath, glancing up at the fire elemental when he didn’t come loose.

“What?” Eloise meowed, jolting when Heath traced a finger against his furred cheek. “Your eyes are red,” Heath said quietly. “Lycanna said I made you cry; I didn’t want to believe them...”

“Why do you care?” Eloise all but hissed, aggression leaking quickly into his voice, his ears clamping against his head. “don’t you have plans today? better not keep Toralei waiting!”

“Toralei?” Heath mumbled, confused for a good moment before it all came crashing back, his plans with Eloise, and how he had stupidly forgotten them when Toralei had asked him for help today. “You heard that, didn’t you?” Heath asked, his heart breaking at the way Eloise drew back, his tail limply hanging behind him. “Baby, I didn’t mean to-”

“Please, don’t “baby” me,” Eloise said. “Heath, I knew you were promiscuous, I guess I just never figured that would extend to you completely forgetting about plans you made with me in favor of whatever new monster gives you attention.” Eloise sighed, shaking his head. “I need to go, Lycanna is waiting for me.”

“Eli-” Heath started, only to be cut off by a call of his name, the fire elemental turning to see Toralei waving, a smirk lighting her face at the sight of Eloise’s distraught expression. Heath’s distraction allowing Eloise to slip his hand out of the other’s grip and quietly slip away into the crowd of students preparing for the day.

“Eloise-” Heath said, finally turning back, only then noticing the werecat was gone. “Eloise?” he mumbled, his ears lowering and his shoulders slumping. “Burns, there you are!” Toralei said as she caught Heath’s arm, dragging his attention to herself. “We have plans, don’t you remember?” the female werecat purred with amusement.

And then there was this, and Eloise ran away to find Lycanna and cry for a bit

Let's not talk about that note, or why Eloise needs to go see Headmistress Bloodgood, let's just not~

There's a few more images to solve this little drama, I'll get to them eventually, promise!
This comes after the one where Lycanna yells at Heath, of course, which is after they found Eloise crying https://www.weasyl.com/~creamecream/submissions/2011777/doodle-how-could-you https://www.weasyl.com/~creamecream/submissions/2002734/doodle-someone-is-gonna-die
