Some angst in your bffnate: October is supposed to be Kit's one down month between Sept and Nov. Kit thinks they'll have some decently stress-free time when Nate starts acting up and they just. Freak. Or try not to. They make a real thing out of Mads birthday and Halloween preps to distract themself, trying not to concern everyone by hiding the fact that they're bringing up feathers multiple times a week. Bonus: Nate doesn't know why Kit brings up feathers-maybe hes not even heard of it before?

Bonus #2 for your bffnate angst: he hasn't been properly filled in on why Sept and Nov are so distressing.

angst? in my bffnate? its more likely than you think

like kit and nate have been buddies for a while before this, just being two emo enjoying friendos together, and like. nate has been kinda worried when they havent been hanging even nearly as much with kit during september. so when october hits, and kit seems to light up a little bit again, nate is so on board when kit brings up that ‘hey mads’ birthday is in a few days i wanna prep something’

and like nate helps them arrange a party and everything, and on the night of the party, is the first time natemare hits in their presence. like this isnt really a stress related thing for nate, it just happens randomly during november, and its like really unpredictable and nobody knows why or when to expect it. but now its happening at the most inopportune time at the party and nate is just. kinda making a mess and giving everyone hard time and just turning things upside down and kit doesnt know what the hell he is doing or why hes doing this and nate doesnt listen to them and hes just raising some hell with making a mess with the food and popping the balloons and did you just try to steal mads’ presents what are yOU DOING

and at one point nate just disappears from the party and stuff calms down but it still like. leaves a mark and kit is so stressed even tho mads is trying to tell them its alright he didnt break anything or do more than just make everyone really confused and maybe upset with something he said and whatnot, but kit is like. why. why did he do this he was almost as excited about this as i was nate why

confronting him the following morning doesnt help. nate doesnt remember anything. nobody knows whats up. kit might suspect that he secretly got drunk last night cause nate is irresponsible little nerd. but nothing is confirmed. it kinda gives a little strain on their friendship but ultimately since nate seems to get back to normal from that point forward again, kit kinda. forgives. not forgets, but forgives, at least for now

until he starts showing similar kind of behavior again the closer they get to halloween, and kit doesnt want to deal with this cause october is supposed to be a fun month between all this garbage and november is coming and they dont want to deal with it and now one of their best friends is making it really hard for them and they just. kind of break after natemare happens again at the halloween party

the following morning nate again claims not to know anything. kit is beyond frustrated. what is he doing. why is he doing this. and eventually after they have a heated enough argument about nate ruining the “only month around this time of the year they can feel happy and free” it all just. kind of comes out. with a pile of feathers that kit has been coughing out in secret all this time trying to deal with this boi and everything coming up in the following month. and so nate is brought in on these disaster months and kit having this whole stress feather problem and everything in between

and like nate is. a very understanding and loving friend but hes so fucking clueless and oblivious unless you straight up tell him these kind of things so he wasnt aware of kit’s struggles until now and he pulls them into a hug and apologizes so much for making things so much worse with everything..

..clearly implying that he knows at least something about this natemare thing, but hes not elaborating on that as kit doesnt ask
