Chris looked at his watch as his footpaw rhythmically tapped against the floor. He looked ahead, squinting, and tried tilting his head to the side to see through the crowd, to no avail. Grey wolves were usually much larger, but his short stature meant that he couldn't see above most people. He let out a sigh and leaned his weight back against the wall, wiping his forehead fur with his arm.
"Hey there, young man. You have a moment?"
"Wha-?"
A little confused, Chris looked to the side and saw a tall, thin salamander with a slightly extravagant shirt and hat smiling at him, holding a binder with some papers in one claw.
"Excellent. See, I'm a part of Newtech Finances, it's this awesome project that's going to revolutionize..."
Oh. It was one of _those_ salesmen. Chris tried to tell him that he wasn't interested, but he just kept going on and on about opportunities and interest rates and other stuff like that, not even letting him open his mouth.
"See, doesn't that sound great? All you'd have to do is put your signature down here." He lifted up the binder and presented it to Chris. "I'll take care of the rest. It's super easy."
"Um... Sorry, but I don't think... I already have a bank account, and..."
"Oh, well, that's what's great about our project! You wouldn't need to give up on what you already have. In fact, it would make managing both of them _easier_!"
"Well, but I... u-uh..."
Chris looked up into the salamander's eyes, then down at the papers full of unreadably small text. He tried to take a step away.
"Hey, what's wrong? This offer isn't forever, you know. Listen, maybe I can sweeten the deal a little. If you sign up for this other plan too, you'll also get-"
"Hey asshole. He said he's not interested."
Both of their heads turned at the same time. Standing behind the salamander was a tigress, not much taller than Chris but certainly imposing enough. She was holding two large cups, one in each paw, and staring daggers at the salesman.
"Oh! No no, don't misunderstand me, young lady! We're simply having a friendly conversation here, I'm just telling my good friend about-"
"Maybe your hearing isn't working properly."
She held one of the cups between her arm and her body, and with her free paw she pushed her half-shaved hair out of her eye, taking a couple steps closer before grabbing the collar of his colourful shirt and pulling him down to eye level with her, baring her fangs.
"He said. He's not. Fucking. Interested."
"Woah, woah, woah." The salamander let out a nervous chuckle. "Alright, alright, I get the message! I'll just be taking my leave now, okay?"
"Thought so."
As soon as she let go of his collar, he stood up again, repositioned his hat and quickly walked away. She sighed, grabbing the cup from under her arm.
"Ugh. You okay there, Chris?"
He nodded. "Y-yeah. Thank you. You really helped me out there."
"S'alright. Here." She handed the cup to him. "This will make you feel better. Spicy pepper milkshake."
"Huh? But I didn't-"
She laughed, bumping his chest with the cup. "I'm messing with ya. It's peach, just like you asked for."
He let out a chuckle, the tension in his shoulders relaxing, then picked up the cup and took a sip from the straw sticking out from the top. The tigress did the same with her own cup, and the two of them started walking together.
"What did you get? Sourberry again?"
"Yup."
"I really don't understand the appeal of a milkshake if it's not sweet, but... I guess it suits you."
"Maybe." She took another sip. "Hey, wait a minute. You calling ME sour?"
"Who, me?"
The tigress playfully punched his shoulder. "Yeah, whatever! At least it's not sickeningly sweet like yours. I swear your fangs are gonna fall off at this rate."
"Hahaha." Chris smiled and grabbed his shoulder with his other paw. "Hey, it's kind of hot, you mind if we sit down over there by the shade?"
"Sure, sounds good." They walked over to a nearby bench under a tree and sat down, both of them slurping from their cups.
"So hey, Kyra. Did you hear about the new Galactic Journey movie coming out next week?"
"Yeah. Gab won't shut up about it."
"Gab? You mean your-"
"My partner, yeah. Kinda weird that you two haven't met, now that I think about it. You're both mega nerds about this stuff. But anyways, we're going to see it next Wednesday."
"Oh." Chris looked down. "Okay. Nevermind then."
Kyra turned her body towards Chris, putting her arm over the back of the bench. "Why'd you ask?"
"Oh, I was just. You know. Thinking we could go see it together."
"So come with us then."
"What? Really? I mean, I wouldn't want to get in the way, and..."
"Pfffft. There you go again. You think I care? You're fun to hang out with."
"O-okay. If you're sure..."
"Yeah! It'll be fun." Kyra took one last sip from the almost empty cup in her paw, then squeezed it and threw it into the trashcan by their side. "Plus, that way I can finally introduce you to him. I'm sure you'll get along."
"Yes, I... wait, to him?"
"Yeah. Who else?"
"Oh, I- I just. I thought Gab was a girl?"
"Oooh. Yeah, sometimes, but right now he's a guy."
"... huh?" Chris tilted his head to the side.
"Depends on his mood. He prefers Gabriel when he's a boy, and Gabby when she's not. Gab works either way."
"I... I see."
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Huh? ... oh, I just didn't... know you were into guys, that's all."
"What, you hitting on me?"
"Wha-" Chris looked away, his cheeks immediately turning bright red. "N-no! Of course not!! I just-"
"Hahahahahah." Kyra bumped his shoulder again. "Sorry, messing with you is too much fun. You're fucking adorable when you're flustered."
Chris' cheeks puffed up in indignation, still looking away. Kyra took out her phone and checked it for a moment, before getting up.
"Right, gotta run now. Wednesday, at 4. Movie's on me, but you're getting your own popcorn. Don't be late."
Chris turned his head again, and by the time he opened his mouth, Kyra was already walking away, waving her paw over her shoulder without looking. He leaned back against the bench, letting out a long sigh and wiping the sweat from the fur on his forehead again.
---
Once again, Chris found himself cursing his short height while scouring through the crowd in front of the entrance of the cinema. It was no surprise that it was so crowded, of course. Wednesday was the launch of the highly-anticipated Galactic Journey movie. Chris even saw a few people entering the cinema in full cosplay, which he wished he would have the courage to do. Finally, he spotted a striped orange and black arm waving at him.
"Chriiiis."
Making his way through the multitude, he finally met up with Kyra, and...
"Hey guys! Finally found... you..."
His voice trailed off as he turned his head. Kyra's outfit was nothing out of the ordinary; he was already used to seeing her in a black leather vest, torn sleeves and a spiked bracelet. What was a little more surprising was that her left paw had a leash wrapped around it a couple times. Chris' eyes followed the length of the leash, tilting his head up, and on the other end he found a tall deer, smiling down at him. Very tall, in fact; the guy was probably almost two meters tall. He was wearing a pastel-coloured hoodie and a pair of loose pants, but what stood out the most was the blue collar that the leash was attached to.
"You must be Chris, right? I'm Gabriel. It's nice to meet you."
He took one of his hands out of the pocket of his hoodie and extended it towards Chris, who just wordlessly stood there for a moment, before finally snapping out of it and quickly shaking his hand.
"H-hi! Chris! I mean, me! I'm Chris!"
The deer patiently stuck his hand back into his pocket, still smiling down at him. There was something gentle and comforting about that smile. Also, his long hair gave his face a bit of an androgynous look, but he still looked more on the masculine side. His voice was pretty deep, too. And then there were his light blue eyes, and...
A pair of fingers snapped in front of his face.
"Dude, I know my boyfriend's hot, but you can check him out all you want after the movie, aight? We're gonna be late."
Chris turned his head to look at Kyra, still looking up a little but not as dramatically. "U-uh... I wasn't- I mean, I'm sorry if-"
Gabriel let out a soft laugh. "It's completely okay. Kyra's right though, we need to get going."
Chris nodded, praying to every imaginable deity that the burning feeling in his cheeks wasn't noticeable. Kyra then tugged on the leash she was holding and the two of them walked into the building, followed closely by Chris. After getting their respective drinks, and after a comment from Kyra about Chris' sweet soda probably being able to kill an army from sugar concentration alone, they headed into the theatre. Kyra turned her head and spoke quietly while guiding Gabriel up the stairs.
"Seats are on the second to last row, but we might need to fix that. Gimme a sec."
On the last row of seats there were three lop-eared rabbits, probably a married couple with their kid, having a quiet conversation. Kyra tapped the shoulder of the one closest to her, and they all turned to look at her.
"Hi. Sorry, our seats are the ones right in front of you, but my, um... " She tugged on the leash and pointed at Gabriel's antlers. "My friend here, as you can see, might block your view. Would you like to switch places with us?"
The tallest of the rabbits glanced over at Gabriel, then at Kyra, with a slightly surprised look on his face. "Oh! Yes, that makes sense. Thank you."
The three of them stood up and shuffled over to the next row of seats. Chris looked at Kyra and raised his eyebrow.
"What? I can be polite sometimes. Now get your ass in there."
The three of them took their respective seats, with Gabriel in the middle.
"Mmmmh, the last row is the best", he said quietly, stretching his arms up in the air. The movie seemed to be just about to start, but just as the lights dimmed around them, Chris looked over and saw Gabriel's hoodie and shirt riding up as he stretched, letting him catch a glance of his toned, light brown belly. He immediately looked to the big screen, crossing his legs.
---
"Hmph. That was booooring." Kyra commented as the three of them stepped out of the building. Chris shielded his eyes from the sunlight with one paw.
"Well, I enjoyed it a lot", Gabriel responded. "I figured it wouldn't really be your thing, though."
"It's fine. Got to show off this nice piece of work if nothing else." She pulled his neck down with the leash and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He chuckled in response. "Was at least expecting to see some action, though. Yknow, cool guns, lightsaber fights."
The response came from both Gabriel and Chris in unison. "Lightsabers are from Galactic Quest."
"Well, ex-cuse me for not knowing the difference."
"It's a common mistake", replied Chris. "But yeah, it was a good movie. Kind of killed a couple of the characters, though."
"You mean Luther? Yes, I thought the same. His motivations made no sense at all here."
"I know, right?! He was basically just a plot device! And don't get me started on Ariadne!"
"I was thinking the same thing! They barely gave her any screentime! And how about-"
"Hey." Kyra tugged on Gabriel's collar. "As cool as it would be to let you two co-author a dissertation on Nerd Stuff right now, I'm kinda getting cooked alive here. I'm amazed you can wear a hoodie in this weather in the first place."
Chris' ears tilted up. "Ah! Sorry. Should we..."
"I think we gotta get going now. But hey, Chris, if you two wanna nerd the fuck out together, why don't you come over to our place this weekend?"
"Oh! R-really? You'd..." He tilted his head up to look at Gabriel. "Would that be okay?"
"Hey, don't ask me. She's in charge. But yeah, I'd love to have you there."
"A-alright then! Saturday? Would that be okay?"
Gabriel looked down at Kyra, like asking for confirmation. 'Or maybe it's more like... asking for permission?', Chris thought to himself.
"Sure thing. Bring your uuuuh fucking lightsaber or whatever."
"That's not from-"
"I knooooow!" She rolled her eyes. "Hell, grow a sense of humour, you two."
---
Chris took a deep breath and knocked on the sturdy wooden door twice. While waiting, he found himself fidgeting again. He didn't even know what he was getting so nervous about. Him and Kyra had hung out together countless times before, although never in her apartment. Well, it wouldn't really mean anything anyways. She already had a boyfriend. Well, girlfriend? A partner. So this was just a friendly visit, for sure. It would only be weird if HE started making it weird.
Huh. No one was opening. Was it empty? He leaned in closer to the door and lifted his ear. No, there were definitely sounds coming from inside. Maybe he didn't knock loud enough. He raised his paw and did it again, with a bit more force. After a couple seconds, the sounds stopped and a muffled voice came from the other side.
"...bby? Can you..."
Nothing happened after that. Should he knock again? While he was wondering, he heard footsteps coming closer, and the same voice.
"Oh, for fuck's..."
The door opened in front of him. On the other side was Kyra, wearing a black sports bra and a pair of tight-fitting shorts, and with a white towel draped over her shoulders. Her orange fur was glistening with sweat, and her footpaws were wrapped in bandages.
"Hey there, Chris. When I said 'don't be late' I didn't mean 'half an hour early', yknow."
"Ah. Uh, I'm sorry. Did I catch you in the middle of something? Should I come back later?"
"Nah, I was just finishing up."
She gestured with her head for him to come in, and he followed suit while she closed the door behind him.
"I'm sure Gabby's listening to music over in the living room or something. It's just down the hallway. You can go meet up with her, and tell her that I'm gonna kick her ass while you're at it. I'm gonna take a quick shower and I'll be with you guys soon."
"R-right."
Chris heard the bathroom door close behind him as he entered the living room. Indeed, someone was there, facing away from him. Her long hair was tied up in a ponytail, she was wearing a black T-shirt and skirt, and a short poofy tail was sticking out between them. Her arms were stretched up into the air, trying to reach a box that was high up on top of a shelf. When she finally managed to reach it, she turned around and looked at him, blinking.
"Oh!"
Chris shyly waved at her. The front of her shirt had a drawing of a videogame character on it (one of his favourite games, in fact!). It was hard to ignore the light pink collar around her neck. She smiled and took off one of her headphones with her free hand.
"Hi Chris! Sorry, I didn't hear you coming in."
Interestingly enough, her voice sounded totally different from how it did at the movies. 'That's some range', he thought to himself.
"Hey, uh, Gabby, right?"
"Yeah, that's right. Here, good timing! This is what I wanted to show you."
She walked over to the table and left a box on top of it, along with her headphones once she took them off, having a bit of trouble untangling the cable from her antlers. The box read 'Galactic Journey: Unleashed'.
"Huh? Oh wait, don't tell me that's-"
"The official, limited edition tabletop game for the fifth arc." She put her hands on her waist proudly.
"That's awesome! I could never get a hold of one of these!"
"Hah. I knew you would appreciate it. What do you say we give it a spin, hm?"
"I would love that!" Chris eagerly sat down at the table, looking at the text on the side of the box. "You'll have to explain it to me though. I've never played it before."
"Of course." She sat across the table, opening it up. "It's kind of complicated, but if you've seen the series I bet you can pick it up in no time."
"Oh, only about a couple million times."
"Heheh. Right, so first..."
They set the board and all the little components up and Gabby started explaining the rules to him, guiding him through a couple of the initial turns. By the third turn, Kyra came into the room and hopped onto the couch, having changed into some loose, comfortable clothes.
"Wow, you started without ME? Shame on you."
Chris laughed. "Oh, I'm sorry, you wanted to play the nerdy games with us?"
"Yeah, you know what, just changed my mind actually. You two have fun." Kyra absentmindedly took out her phone and started toying with it.
The next hour or so passed really quickly for Chris. The nerves that he was feeling before dissipated really quickly, and he ended up really enjoying the games with Gabby. Kyra didn't seem to mind doing her own thing, flipping between using her phone and computer and watching TV.
"You know, I'm actually feeling a little overdressed right now", said Chris. "I mean, I knew it wasn't going to be anything fancy, but..."
Kyra lifted her sight from her phone. "Yeah, don't think I've ever seen you in such a fancy button-up shirt before."
"Well, I like it." Gabby smiled. "It's mostly her that's making things awkward anyways. I always have to chase her around to put on some pants when we have visitors."
"Hey, it's my house, I wear what I want."
Chris let out another laugh. "I don't know much about fashion, really. I just didn't want to seem... lazy, I guess?"
"Oh, you can wear whatever you're comfortable with", replied Gabby. "I do that too."
Chris gulped, finally gathering up the courage to ask. "So, um, I guess the collar is just a fashion thing then...?"
"Well, it's not JUST a fashion thing..."
"Good pets gotta wear collars", interrupted Kyra. Gabby just silently nodded.
"... p-pets?"
Gabby tilted her head. "I suppose you don't seem like the kind of person to have much experience with kink, do you?"
"Chris? Yeah, he's an innocent little cupcake, I'm sure." Kyra paused and put her phone down. "Wait. Wait. Shit."
Chris looked over at her.
"Shit. Chris. We didn't make you uncomfortable with the whole leash thing at the movies, right?"
"U-uncomfortable? No, not really, I was just... surprised."
"Right. Well. Okay, so normally I don't give half a flying fuck what anyone around us thinks, but the last thing I wanted was to shove this in a friend's face when they didn't ask for it. Shit. I really should have asked first."
Gabby nodded and turned to Chris, leaving the cards she was holding on the table. "Yeah, I agree. I'm sorry, Chris. We should have asked."
"H-hey, no! It's okay, really! It wasn't, like, traumatic or anything! Just caught me off guard, that's all."
Kyra ran her fingers through her hair. "Still. Gaaaah. I'm such a fucking idiot."
"You can really tell we're not used to hanging out with people outside of our kink circles..." Gabby sighed.
"Okay, okay. Well. No harm done, I guess. Just. Sorry, man."
"It's okay! I promise I'm fine."
Gabby picked up her cards again, smiling, and they resumed the game.
"... um, if it's not too much to ask though..."
"Yeah?"
"What... did you mean by 'pet', exactly?"
"Oh, that's easy." Kyra walked over and put her paws on Gabby's shoulders, her head right between her antlers. "Gabby here is my pet, and has to do whatever I say. Simple as that."
"But... why though?"
"Because I like it", responded Gabby. "We don't need any more reason."
"But, I mean... Okay, I have heard of people doing that in, like, the bedroom, but never outside of that..."
"Well, we- hold on, just to make sure. I know Gabby's okay with me telling people about this, but are you okay with hearing it, Chris?"
Chris paused for a second and then nodded, his cheeks burning up. It had been his turn on the game for a while now, but he wasn't paying much attention to it.
"In that case. Yes, Gabby's also my pet when we fuck. But there's no rule saying it has to be ONLY a sex thing, so."
"I- I see..."
"You seem curious about this whole deal, Chris", said Gabby. "You've never tried it before, right?"
Chris shook his head, looking down at the game board.
"And is it something you would like to-"
"Hold up, Gabby", interrupted Kyra. "I think we're making him uncomfortable now. The poor thing's all tense and shit, see? Let's back off."
Chris was fidgeting with the cards in his hand. "N-no, sorry! I'm just... this is just very new, that's all..."
"Listen, dude, Gabby and I are always good to talk about our stuff, but don't push yourself too hard, aight?"
"What she said. We're here to answer any questions you might have about it, but take your time."
He nodded, shyly. He felt ridiculous now, making such a big deal out of something that they treated so casually, but the reality was that his heart was pounding in his chest and his long, fluffy tail was wagging behind him.
"I'll... Could we, um... keep playing the game for now?"
"Of course." Gabby put down a card on the board. "You're kind of wrecking me, anyways. Wouldn't want to ruin this streak, would you?"
He smiled and put down a card of his own.
"... hey, guys? Thank you. Really."
Gabby gave him a sweet, comforting smile, while Kyra grinned and gave him a firm pat on his back. "We gotcha."
---
Chris' room was dark, illuminated only by the flashing white lights of a large monitor. Across from it, Chris was sitting on his bed with his legs crossed, pressing the buttons on his controller at incredible speed. By his side, a large deer was doing the same, staring intently at the monitor and biting his lip. It didn't take long before a 'Victory' message flashed across the screen.
"Yes!!"
Chris threw his arms up in the air in celebration, and then turned to his playing companion and they high-fived each other. He then collapsed back onto the bed, letting out a loud sigh.
"Man oh man. Haven't had a game that intense in a long time."
"Yeah, same here", said Gabriel. "You're really killing it today."
Chris grinned and put his paws behind his head. "Thank you! I think so too."
After smiling down at him, Gabriel took a glance out of the window, and then took out his phone to look at the time. "Woah. It's gotten dark."
"Oh! Wow, you're right. I didn't even notice. How long was that last game?"
"Let me check the results screen..." He tapped a couple of buttons. "Uuuuh... two hours and twenty-three minutes."
"Holy heck. Okay, yeah, that's... a lot. I kind of lost track of time there."
"That just means you were having fun, right?"
"Hah, yeah, I really was." Chris stood up and stretched, arching his back, making his bones crack loudly. "Ow."
"Hahahah. I guess I should be thankful for the training routines Kyra puts me through."
"Mmmmmaybe."
Gabriel looked at his phone again. "Hmmm, are there even any buses at this time, I wonder..."
Chris stared out of the window, thinking to himself.
"Say... maybe you could stay the night here?"
"Oh!" Gabriel looked up at him, though just barely; even with him sitting down and Chris standing, they were almost at eye level. "Really?"
"I- I mean, if you want to! I don't have another bed, though, so you'd have to sleep on the couch. And uh... I mean, I know we've only known each other for like, a few weeks, so maybe it's weird. Is it weird? Am I making things weird? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"Hey, hey now, no need to stress so much about it." Gabriel looked into Chris' eyes and gave him one of those comforting smiles. "I would love to, if Kyra lets me. I just didn't think you'd be okay with having me over."
Chris nodded. Was he blushing again? He sure hoped he wasn't, or at least that it wasn't noticeable. "A-alright."
"I have to ask though. Give me a second." He looked back down at his phone and started typing. 'Permission, huh...?', Chris thought to himself, glancing down at Gabriel's blue collar.
A minute or so passed. "Right, she's totally fine with it. Very enthusiastic about it, in fact."
"I see." Yeah, that sounded like Kyra alright. Chris reached up and rubbed the back of his head. "Still not, uh, used to this whole 'pet' thing..."
"I can understand that. I'm sorry if we're being a little too... in your face about it."
"N-no, it's fine! I've told you, it doesn't really, like, bother me."
"You just said yourself that you're still not used to it, though."
"Well, yeah, I just mean, it's... weird, you know? Oh, b-but I don't mean the bad kind of weird! Sorry! Just, um. Unusual."
"That it is, yeah. But that's part of the charm." Gabriel smiled and reached up for his collar, running his fingers over it. Chris let out a nervous laugh in response.
"Right, um... let's see. Dinner. You hungry? How do you feel about pizza?"
"Yeah, that sounds great."
Chris took out his own phone and dialed a number on it. "Any allergies or, like, preferences?"
"Anything that doesn't have meat is fine by me."
"Sure thing." He tapped the big green button and brought the phone up to his ear, turning away. Gabriel couldn't help but notice the wagging of his long grey tail as he walked out of the room, and smiled to himself.
---
Dinner happened without incident. Chris and Gabriel found themselves staying up well into the night, chatting, laughing, playing games and watching short clips from their favourite shows together. Chris' eyes were starting to close on their own, but somehow, he didn't feel like going to sleep just yet.
"Oh, wait. Now that I think about it." He turned his head towards Gabriel. "I was thinking you could borrow my pajamas for sleeping here, but uh... they're definitely not going to fit you. I didn't... think of that."
Gabriel had his hands behind his head, watching the screen, though clearly not paying a lot of attention to it. He must have been kind of sleepy too. "Bold of you to assume I wear any clothes to sleep."
"Oh, uh- I mean- I just-"
"I'm joking, of course. I can sleep in this no problem."
"R-right." Chris shook his head, trying to push that image out of his brain. "Won't you, uh, be very hot though? Especially with this weather."
"Nah, I basically don't care about heat. I'm well insulated, I guess."
"I see..."
Gabriel glanced over and saw Chris fidgeting with the fur of his own tail, his cheeks tinted red, illuminated by the harsh light of the screen.
"Mmh. I'm sorry. I guess I'm getting kind of loopy. I should go to sleep soon."
"Huh? S-sorry about what?"
"Kyra made me promise I wouldn't flirt with you while I was here."
... wait, flirt?
"Wait. Flirt?"
"Yeah, you know, I'm just a very... forward kind of guy, I guess? I tend to make playful comments like that a lot. I keep forgetting that not everyone is cool with that. I need to work on it."
"B-but I mean. Flirting? With, like, with me? You were, uh- you like me??"
"I... thought that much was obvious? You just didn't seem particularly comfortable with those comments, so Kyra told me to cut it out."
Chris could almost hear his brain grinding to a halt trying to process the new information it had been given. "But like- I mean, you two are..."
"Are you okay? Oh man, I hope I didn't make things even worse by bringing it up."
"No, I'm just. Aren't you already dating Kyra?"
"Sure."
"So you two have like... an open... thing going on?"
"You could call it that, I guess? She very much encourages me to flirt with other people, if that's your question. She just told me to stop with you because you're 'a cinnamon roll who's too pure for this nonsense', in her words, and just didn't seem comfortable with it."
"W-well! It's not really that I'm uncomfortable. I just kind of didn't... know? I mean, I'm like- flattered, but I'm not really into guys in the first place, so..."
"Wait, really?" Gabriel tilted his head to the side. "Okay, that's a surprise. I was totally sure I caught you checking me out a couple times."
"I- I- I mean!! I'm sorry! I just-"
"Hey, hey, I've told you several times it's fine, haven't I? I take it as a compliment. But yeah, I was sure you at least kind of liked me in guy mode."
"I uh... maybe? I'm not sure! I mean, I have never really been into any guys, and you're not really like, fully a guy, right? I mean, you are! Just, not all the time I guess. I don't think that makes any difference?"
"Ah, you're still questioning stuff then. Right, I get. Sorry if I'm being pushy about it then."
"N-no, it's fine."
Gabriel grinned. "And hey, if you need someone to talk your feelings out with, I'm all ears. Wasn't that long ago that I thought I was a cis straight guy either."
"Really? I mean, I thought that was the sort of thing that one just knows..."
"Oh man. Yeah, okay, we have a lot of talking to do. Maybe now's not the time though. You seem nervous enough as it is."
"I'm not-! ... okay, yeah, maybe I am just a little nervous." 'And maybe my heart feels like it's about to burst out of my chest just a little', he thought to himself.
"Heh. Yeah. Okay, maybe I should be going to bed now."
"Hey, um, before that..."
"Hm?" Gabriel stood up, and then looked down at Chris, tilting his head to the side.
"What kind of- I mean... what do you... think of me? Like, how do you feel, and stuff."
"Hmm, you sure you want to hear about it?"
"I- well, I can't promise I will, like, respond, in any way. But... yeah."
"Well, in that case."
Gabriel bent forward, one hand on his knee, and delicately put his other hand under Chris' chin, tilting it up just a little bit and looking into his eyes.
"How I feel about you is that I think you're really, really cute, and I'd love to ask you to tie me to this bed and do aaaaaall sorts of things to me."
Chris blinked and swallowed. Gabriel stood back up and put a hand on his waist, smiling.
"Still doing okay?"
Chris responded with a silent nod. All hopes that his cheeks and his tail weren't betraying him had gone way out the window.
"Good to hear. I'm going to sleep now, is that alright?"
"Y..." Chris swallowed again. "Y-yeah. Goodnight."
"Sleep well." And with that, Gabriel walked out of the room, leaving Chris with his pulse racing and more confused than he had ever been in his life.

Chris yawned and stretched his arms way up in the air as he sat up in bed. Was he dreaming about something? He rubbed his eyes and then opened them slowly, letting them get accustomed to the small sliver of light coming in through the curtains. Well, judging by the bump sticking up from the bedsheets, it must have been a good dream. Maybe related to last night...
Right. Last night. He had a guest, so he couldn't laze around in bed all day. Getting out of his bed with a quick hop, he opened up the curtains, then considered for a moment whether to wait for his little problem to go down before coming out of his room. He didn't hear anyone up outside, so he figured it was fine, and stepped out and into the bathroom to wash his face.
Carefully tiptoeing along the hallway, he made his way to the living room, where he was surprised to find Gabriel sitting up on the couch, looking into the screen... which was turned off. Chris spoke as quietly as he could.
"Gaaaabriel...?"
"Mmmm" was all the response he got.
"You, um, awake?"
"... define awake."
Chris laughed to himself. "Hahah, not a morning guy? ... or, um, girl. Morning person? When do you uh, decide..."
Gabriel (presumably?) flopped down onto his side on the couch. "Tooooooo early for gender."
With another giggle, Chris walked into the living room and opened up the curtains, letting the sunlight through. Gabriel stirred and covered his eyes.
"Mmmmmmh. To answer your question, no, not a morning person. Got any coffee?"
"Oh, um, no, I don't think so. Sorry. I don't really drink coffee."
"Issokay..." He stood up and stretched his arms, just like Chris did earlier, with the difference that his hands bumped into the ceiling. "Mmmmm."
"Did you sleep well, at least?"
"Yeah, I think so. What time is it?"
"Abouuut noon."
"Wait, what?!" He quickly took out his phone to check.
"Yeah, we kinda stayed up pretty late last night. Do you have to be anywhere soon? Should I have, uh..."
"Well, no, not really. Just... don't wanna leave Kyra waiting. We had plans later today."
"So will you get going now?"
"Yeah, I think so. Sorry. Maybe I can grab a coffee along the way or something."
"You sure you don't want to play a few rounds just to clear your head?" Chris gestured with his head towards the screen. Gabriel smiled.
"Tempting as that is, I think I'll say no. We could be here all day once we get going."
"Hah, okay, good point."
They both walked towards the entrance door. Gabriel reached out towards the doorknob, then stopped himself and turned around.
"Hey, so, about last night... Should I apologize? Was I too forward again?"
Chris looked down, rubbing his cheek. "Well, um... no, I just... I hope you're not expecting me to, like, do anything about it. I have a lot of stuff to sort through. But no, no apologies needed."
"Of course." That disarming smile again. "Take as much time as you need. Talk to you later." He opened the door and walked out, waving at Chris.
"Later!"
Closing and locking the door, Chris leaned his back against it, sighing.
'Alright, so I guess I officially have a huge crush on a guy. Now what?'
---
Chris was lying in bed, staring at the screen of his phone. A chat window was open, and the cursor was blinking at the bottom. He tapped a few words in, then immediately deleted them. He stared at the ceiling for a moment, trying to think of what to say. After writing the same exact message three times, he finally hit 'Send'.
[GreyLuther] hey Kyra, can I ask you something
He then locked his phone and left it on his chest. Surprisingly enough, it only took a couple seconds for the phone to vibrate twice with a response. He picked it up again.
[ky] how am i supposed to know
[ky] if u havent asked
Chris let out a sigh, then sent an image of a miniature bear putting its hands together and saying 'Sorry!'
[GreyLuther] okay so like. remember a few days ago when Gabriel stayed the night here
[ky] ye
[GreyLuther] we talked about some stuff back then
[ky] ?
Chris ran his fingers through his hair.
[GreyLuther] so. are you two really ok with like, seeing other people and stuff
[ky] ohhhh
[ky] ya she told me abt that
[ky] ofc its ok are u gonna ask her out
Already, Chris could feel his face lighting up. Good thing no one was there to see this time.
[GreyLuther] no no!
[GreyLuther] I mean, maybe?
[GreyLuther] I think she's kinda cute and would like to spend more time with her and stuff but I wanted to make sure you were ok with it first
[ky] hell yea
[ky] hold up im gonna give her ur number ok
[ky] ok?*
Wow. Okay. It was very much like Kyra to just go for it like that, but still. Chris took a deep breath.
[GreyLuther] alright
After the longest thirty seconds in the history of animalkind, Chris felt the phone in his paw vibrate again with another message.
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] hi Chris! :D
[GreyLuther] hi!!!
Dammit, that was one exclamation too many.
[GreyLuther] cool name by the way!
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] haha, I figured if someone got the reference it would be you!
He smiled to himself, putting one paw behind his head, although unsure of what to say next. Fortunately, Gabby responded before he had too much time to think.
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] so I'm "kinda cute" huh? :P
[GreyLuther] okay, maybe a little more than kinda
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] hehehe
A picture appeared in the chat window. It seemed to be a hastily taken selfie, showing Gabby from the chest up, her hand covering her snout sideways and making a V sign with her fingers. Her ponytail was resting on her shoulder. Incidentally, Kyra could be seen over her shoulder, sitting on the couch in the distance, but clearly looking in her direction and grinning.
[GreyLuther] okay really cute actually
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] gosh thank you :)
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] is it still only girl mode that you like though?
Chris couldn't tell if he was looking forward to or dreading that question. He took his time to type the answer.
[GreyLuther] okay so I still don't know if I'm into guys like, in general, but I definitely am into you in guy mode too which is a thing I didn't know could happen
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] haha I thought so!
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] wait that sounded kind of pretentious. what I mean is that I'm glad you do
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] cause I definitely am into you as well
Chris covered his mouth with his paw. His muscles were starting to hurt from smiling so much.
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] Kyra is telling me to take it slow with you haha
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] I'm not being too forward again right?
[GreyLuther] no not right now, but uh
[GreyLuther] please be patient with me though I would kinda like to take things slow cause this is like. a lot
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] right slow, gotcha!
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] can I call you my boyfriend now or is that too fast?
Chris' face felt like it was on fire. He took a deep breath.
[GreyLuther] I think I would like that
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] yay!! ^.^
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] you're very cute I hope you know that
For a solid minute or two, he stared at his screen, unable to stop smiling or to find the words to write another message.
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] okay okay Kyra is telling me to ask explicitly about what you are and aren't okay with, I think it's a good idea
[GreyLuther] okay?
[GreyLuther] I mean, what do you mean by okay with?
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] for example like. kissing and such
Chris let his mind wander to the idea of kissing with Gabby. Wrapping his arms around her neck, pulling her down... or maybe, lying down together, on top of her... He shook his head.
[GreyLuther] okay okay I like the idea a lot but I think it's too much right now
[GreyLuther] sorry...
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] that's totally okay! how about other forms of affection? like hugging
[GreyLuther] hmmmm I think hugs should be fine! though I barely reach up to your chest haha
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] you're like an adorable little plush!
He couldn't help but giggle.
[GreyLuther] sorry about all this, I hope you're okay with me being kinda silly about this stuff
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] it's not silly. you need space and that's okay
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] would you like to meet up sometime soon? we don't have to of course! but I wanna give you that hug :D
[GreyLuther] that would be awesome! how about this friday
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] yeah, sounds good!
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] oh wait
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] Kyra just told me we had plans I forgot about! sorry. how about saturday
Nearly at the same time, his phone buzzed with a different message.
[ky] sry for postponing ur date!! we have concert tickets
[GreyLuther] that's fine!
He quickly flipped to the other chat.
[GreyLuther] saturday is good too! wanna come over to my place again?
[ThirdCrest (she/her)] sure thing!! see you then :)
Chris opened up his gallery, and his finger hovered over a cartoony image of a bear hugging a silhouette labelled 'You'. He hesitated for a moment, then tapped the screen to send it and immediately locked his phone again, rolling over and burying his face in his pillow.
---
The doorbell rang. Chris took a moment to breathe, looking at his reflection in the mirror, then walked over to the entrance and opened it. On the other side was, of course, a very cute deer girl; Chris tilted his head up a bit to look at her, smiling.
"Hey Gabby!"
"Hi there!"
He stepped to the side, giving her space to come in, then closed the door behind her. She was wearing the usual skirt and T-shirt combo, the dark colours contrasting with the light pink of her collar.
"You, um. You look great!"
"Heh, thank you! So do you."
They stood next to each other for a moment, smiling. Gabby seemed to be expecting something to happen, but after a few seconds, she turned around and headed to the living room, followed by Chris.
"So, some games?"
"Sure, sounds good!"
He turned on his console and picked up a pair of controllers, handing one over to Gabby, and they sat down on the couch together.
The next half hour or so passed by in the blink of an eye. Time always flew by when they were playing games.
"Hey, um..." Chris said, his eyes fixed on the screen. "I hope you're not finding it, like, very weird that there are so many things that I don't want to, uh, do yet and such..."
"Oh, please. I'll say it as many times as I have to. It's completely fine to need space."
"R-right. Just wanna make sure."
"Is this your- oh, behind you."
Chris' character quickly spun around and shot the creature sneaking up on him.
"There we go. So, is this your first time dating someone?"
"U-um, well. No, I've been with a few girls before. Just... none of them ended particularly well."
"I see. Well, hey, like I said, whatever your reasons are, I'm totally fine with waiting."
"Right. I, uh, appreciate that."
"Oh, but don't feel like you'll eventually need to do anything, either! Physical affection isn't all there is. I'm happy just hanging out with you, alright?"
"W-well, it's not like I NEVER want to do it! I, um, I kind of think about it sometimes. Just not... ready yet, I guess?"
"Ooooh."
Gabby paused the game, and turned to her side, sitting cross legged on the couch, smiling.
"You 'think about it', you say? And what kinds of things do you think about, huh?"
"Oh! W-well! I didn't mean, um... I just..."
"Ah, wait. There I go again. Sorry, you don't need to answer that at all."
"No no! It's not a bad thing! Just ah... are you sure you want to know? You won't think I'm weird?"
Gabby laughed. "Chris, I like weird, but I doubt anything you say will make me think that."
"Alright, then..." He took a deep breath. "I uh... yeah, I do think about kissing and hugging with you. A lot."
"Heheh. Yeah, I think about that too."
"And... you're okay with me fantasizing about it but not wanting to do it yet?"
She nodded. "Of course. And I'd be happy to know about any other things you fantasize about."
"R-really?"
"Really really."
"Well, um, the truth is..." Chris put his controller down, rubbing the back of his neck. "W-when you told me that you wanted me to tie you up... I couldn't stop thinking about that for days, haha..."
"Oooh, is that so? I remember I was super tired and not thinking very clearly then, so I'm glad that didn't scare you off."
"No, yeah, I kinda think it's. Very hot. And..." Was he really going to tell her about all this stuff? He felt like he didn't have a choice now that he had started. It was now or never. "A-and when Kyra has you on a leash I think that's a very good look too..."
Gabby let out a giggle. "Do you... ever think about being the one holding that leash?"
Chris gulped, and then nodded. "I... I do, yeah..."
"Gosh, you are the cutest thing."
"I- I mean, don't get me wrong, I think it's good when Kyra does it, too!"
"You do, huh? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're into Kyra as well, right?"
"I... well, I mean... maybe just a little bit?"
"In the same way that you're 'just a little bit' into me?"
"Uh, no, not exactly? I don't wanna date her like I do with you, I just think she-"
"She has this extremely hot energy about her?"
Chris quietly nodded.
"Yeah, she has that effect on people. Me included." She laughed again. "I'm just thinking about something... I might have had an idea."
"Huh?"
"Well, keep in mind that this is just a proposal. I have no idea how comfortable you'd be with something like this. Buuuut..."
Chris tilted his head to the side, curious.
"So, you told me you had fantasized a lot about tying me up... What did we do after that?"
"O-oh, um, well... y-you know..."
"You don't have to go into a lot of detail. I just want to know if you think about me, you know, sexually."
After a small pause, Chris nodded again. "... yeah. Very much."
"Right, but you don't feel quite ready to actually do anything like that with me, correct?"
"Y-yeah, that's right. Sorry."
"Well, how would you feel about just... watching instead?"
"W-watching?"
Gabby reached up and ran her fingers over her collar. "Kyra and I have done this before. We've had friends over to watch her, well, dom me. It's... pretty hot, to be honest."
Chris blinked, his cheeks quickly lighting up.
"Now, I realize that it's a weird thing to suggest to someone who doesn't feel ready for a kiss yet, but-"
"I- I'll do it."
"Oh! Really? You'd like to?"
He nodded, very enthusiastically. "Very, very much."
"Oh, that's great!! I'll ask Kyra later! I'm sure we can do it soon."
"J-just... uh, to make sure... I wouldn't have to, like, actually get involved... right?"
"You can get exactly as involved as you like. Just watching is fine, talking is fine, some touching is also fine. Entirely up to you."
"Right. Okay. That's, um..." Chris squirmed a little in place, crossing his legs. "That sounds r-really good. I would like that a lot."
"I'd like it too. I would offer to just record it for you or something like that, but I don't like doing that. Just for safety, you know? You never know where those files can end up."
"Y-yeah. I totally get that."
"Great. You can sort out the details with Kyra then. I'm, well... It's not my place to decide anything, haha."
Chris smiled. He was starting to get used to these kinds of comments.
"Right, so what do you say we finish up this game and then watch a couple of episodes?"
He nodded, and they both picked up their controllers again and turned the game back on.
---
Gabby turned her head when she heard a key turning down the hall, and then the sound of the front door opening. She got up and quickly walked over to greet the wolf and the tigress that were coming in, happily chatting.
"Hi, you two!"
Chris shyly waved at her, while Kyra reached up without a word and grabbed her collar, pulling her down to place a quick kiss on her lips.
"Hey girl." When she let go of her collar, Gabby straightened her back again, smiling. "This fluffy marshmallow here has done nothing but gush about you the entire trip."
"H-hey!" Chris tried his best to sound offended, though the waving of his tail betrayed him as usual. He looked up at Gabby. "I was not! She's making it up."
"The hell I am." Kyra took off her vest and handed it to Gabby. "Take this to the bedroom."
She obediently took it, folded it over her arm and headed up the hallway again, while Kyra and Chris walked into the living room. Kyra let her weight down on the couch with a loud sigh.
"I cannot fucking wait for this heatwave to be over, I swear." She turned her head. "Wanna sit here, Chris? We got stuff to talk about."
He nodded and sat down by her side, his paws resting on his knees and his leg nervously bouncing up and down. Gabby walked back into the room then.
"So. How you feelin', Chris?"
"Well, kind of... nervous? But also excited?"
"Yeah, figured. You feeling ready for this whole session and shit? No shame in calling it off, yknow."
"No, I um. Yeah. I think I'm ready."
"'s good." She stood up, walking to Gabby's side. "Before we get going we're gonna have to triple check some stuff with ya though."
"... oh?"
"Oh, don't worry", responded Gabby. "She just wants to be thorough. Kyra is kind of obsessive about boundaries and such. You saw how upset she got last time."
"Hey. I don't recall giving YOU permission to talk."
Gabby giggled and put her hands behind her back.
"Now, Chris, you haven't done anything kinky before, right?"
He shook his head in response.
"Something you gotta know is that boundaries and limits are extremely fucking important here. More than anywhere else. If anyone involved is not liking what's going on, we stop. Period. No questions asked. Got it?"
"Y-yeah. That makes sense."
Kyra put one paw on her waist. "And that includes you. If you want us to stop, at ANY time, you. Speak. Up. Do I make myself clear?"
Chris couldn't quite make out what he was feeling. Kyra certainly looked intimidating, but as long as you didn't get on her bad side, there was always something... comforting about her.
"Yeah. Got it."
"Yknow what a safeword is?"
"Uh... it's like... a failsafe, right? Like, if something hurts too much or something like that?"
"Kinda, but no. It's a word for stopping the scene, for whatever reason. You don't gotta be in pain to use it, you just have to want to stop." Gabby nodded by her side.
"Right. I see."
"Our safeword is 'neptunus'. If it sounds good to you, you can also use it. Just say it and we stop."
"Wait, neptunus as in the Neptunus Society from Fatal Wound?"
"What? No, it's just-" Kyra turned her head, squinting. "Wait a goddamn second. Did you pick our safeword from a fucking video game?"
Gabby giggled and made a zipping motion over her mouth with her fingers, shrugging.
"You unbelievable nerd. You're lucky I love that shit-eating grin of yours so much." Kyra shook her head and gave Gabby's butt a gentle slap, turning her attention back to Chris. "Anyways. We need to be clear on what's gonna happen here. Gabby and I are going to fuck, and you're going to watch. Are you sure you're okay with that?"
Chris nodded, his cheeks turning a little red. Kyra turned her head towards Gabby, who nodded as well.
"Good good. Now, you be a good girl and bring me your leash, will ya?"
With another giggle, Gabby reached into her pocket and took out a curled up leash. Kyra took it from her hand, smiling.
"Hah, so that's why you weren't wearing a skirt. You wanted to be prepared, huh?"
She proudly nodded in response while Kyra reached up and attached the leash to her collar. She then gave it a firm tug. "Down."
Obediently, Gabby got down to her knees. Chris sat up on the couch with his legs crossed, the redness on his cheeks refusing to go away.
"To be clear, Chris. You're totally free to like, strip and jack off if you like. We're both cool with that. But you don't have to."
"I- um... I th-think I wanna keep my clothes on right now. S-sorry."
"Hey man, I just said it's all good. Do whatever you're comfortable with." Kyra tugged on the leash. "This little piece of eye candy IS gonna strip for us, though. Aren't you, girl?"
Gabby enthusiastically nodded.
"Alright, arms up. Now."
Without hesitation, Gabby raised both hands up. Kyra then leaned forward, reaching down to grab both sides of her shirt, taking a moment to playfully nibble on her ear, and then slowly pulled it up, revealing more and more of her lighter coloured belly and her toned chest to Chris. He let out an involuntary whimper, biting his lip. To tell the truth, he had fantasized many times about seeing Gabby shirtless. And now he was going to get to see her completely naked...
Kyra expertly pulled Gabby's shirt up through her arms, her antlers and her leash, then reached down with her free paw and stroked her chest. "That's more like it. She's a beauty, isn't she?"
Chris covered his crotch with both paws, nodding and looking right into Gabby's eyes, who was looking right back at him. "Y-yeah, she really is..."
Kyra gave the leash another firm tug. "Hands behind your back."
Gabby quickly complied. Chris kept staring at her chest ('maybe I should get Kyra to come up with a workout routine for me too', he thought to himself), though it was hard to ignore the sizeable tent in her pants.
"Now..." Kyra bent down and, after fidgeting a bit behind her back, tied the shirt she was wearing in a bundle around her wrists, binding them together. "There we go. Too tight?"
Gabby looked up and shook her head.
"Good stuff." Another tug. "Up."
With a little difficulty, Gabby rose up to her feet. Kyra turned to face Chris again.
"Still doing alright there, dude?"
Chris responded with a quick nod.
"Aight. I'm gonna strip her the rest of the way now. You wanna participate?"
"Um..." Chris hesitated. "I, uh..."
"It's only an offer, I thought you'd like it cause I've seen you eyeing this." She gently slapped Gabby's butt again. "You don't have to."
"I- I want to, but I think I'll pass right now..."
"All good."
Kyra turned back to Gabby, grinning, and took out one of her claws. She then very, very slowly dragged it across her neck, and all the way down her chest, making Gabby shiver. Chris watched intently, and noticed Gabby's knees starting to shake. When she reached the edge of Gabby's pants, she hooked her finger on them, reaching down with her other paw to do the same, and started to pull them down, just as slowly as before. Chris gulped as he saw Gabby's shaft come into view; even with half of it uncovered he could tell it was quite a bit bigger than he expected. Maybe about twice his size? His own paw snuck under his pants as the full length finally bounced out, thick and heavy. Chris took note of how it looked like it stuck straight out, as opposed to his own, which tended upwards against his belly. Of course, Kyra kept pulling her pants down, all the way down to her ankles. Letting his eyes scan back up her body, he saw Gabby had now averted her gaze, her cheeks a faint pink. Was this finally what it took to fluster her?
"Mm, someone's worked up, huh?" As Kyra stood up, she let her paw stroke up the fur of Gabby's leg. From her part, Gabby stepped out of the pile that her pants and underwear formed on the floor now, still looking to the side.
Chris blinked, only barely able to process the situation. Gabby was standing in front of him, totally naked except for a pink collar, and clearly turned on. He bit his lip as his eyes wandered up and down her body, taking it all in, his paw idly rubbing his own shaft, though probably unconsciously. 'She's even hotter than I had pictured...'
Kyra's paw carefully wrapped around Gabby's shaft, giving it a long, slow stroke. She stood up as tall as she could to give the side of Gabby's neck a playful kiss. "Look how hard you are. Is it because of a certain... someone?" While she said that last part, Kyra looked over to Chris and winked. He gave her a nervous smile. "You like having him watch you all tied up and vulnerable, huh?"
Gabby bit her lip and nodded. In response, Kyra wrapped the leash around her paw a few times, making it shorter, and gave it a firm pull.
"Out loud, pet."
"Ah! Y-yes..."
Kyra smiled, satisfied, and started stroking her dick up and down a little faster, picking up a steady rhythm. "Good girl."
Gabby squirmed in place, letting out quiet little sounds.
"Look at you. Fuck, you look like you're almost ready to blow already. Are you that close?"
"K-k-kinda clo-ose..."
Kyra grinned and let go of her dick. "We should stop then. This IS hot as fuck and all, but it wouldn't be much of a show if you came already, would it?"
"Um..." said Chris. "I- I wouldn't really mind..."
"Hah, I figured. Still... I wanna show you a cool thing. Be right back."
With that, and before Chris could say anything, Kyra stepped out of the room. He turned his head to Gabby and locked eyes with her, both of them breathing heavily. It took him a solid ten seconds to realize he was still rubbing himself, and hastily took his paw out of his pants.
"Ah! S-sorry."
Gabby simply smiled in return. After a moment, Kyra returned with a fairly large box, which she placed on top of the table.
"Here we go. We got a bunch of toys we use normally. Chris, you wanna take a look and pick one? It's cool if not, I have some ideas in mind."
Chris scooted over and leaned in to take a better look. The box did in fact have a pretty large variety of toys. He could see ropes, handcuffs and such, a few phallic-shaped objects, and a few others that he didn't recognize, though he could guess the uses of most of them. One large, white object stood out to him, though, since it looked way too big to go inside anyone. He pointed at it.
"Uh... what's that?"
"Oh, that's a massage wand." Kyra picked it up and turned it on as a demonstration, making the rounded tip spin, before turning it off again. "Never seen one before? You should try one sometime, it's pretty great."
"I- I see..."
"I'm sure you can take a wild guess at what it's for. Should I give it a shot?"
"Um. Sure."
Kyra turned around and walked over to Gabby again, smiling and baring her fangs.
"You heard the marshmallow. Go sit on the couch."
"... huh?" Chris tilted his head in confusion.
"Ah." Kyra turned to face him again. "You can still keep to yourself, just scoot over. This thing's real fucking strong, though, so she's gonna have trouble standing."
Gabby nodded and walked over to the opposite side of the couch that Chris was on, leaning back and spreading her legs. Her dick, which had started to soften before, was hardening again in anticipation.
"I-is it really that intense?"
"Just watch."
Kyra leaned over the side of the couch, resting her elbows on the cushion. Chris watched closely as she turned the wand on again and carefully pressed it against Gabby's shaft. She didn't seem to have much of a reaction at first, but as the tip of the wand started to move up and down the underside of her shaft, she quickly started breathing heavily and her legs started involuntarily twitching here and there. It didn't take long before Gabby let out a high-pitched moan, at which point Kyra didn't hesitate to turn the wand off again and pull it away. Gabby let out sigh and slumped back against the couch, and Chris could see her dick twitching in place, a drop of precum forming at the tip.
"Like I said. Pretty fucking strong."
Chris nodded, staring. His paw had gone into his pants again at some point, though he hadn't noticed before.
"Normally she lasts a little longer than this, but I think soooomething must have gotten her real worked up. I wonder what." Kyra grinned. "So yeah, she's gonna blow soon. You alright with that, Chris?"
"Yes!" He caught himself responding with a little more enthusiasm than he thought.
"Heh, aight then. You all ready, girl?"
Gabby nodded, still gasping for air. When the wand made contact with her base again, right above her balls, she took in a sharp breath, and quickly let out another moan. Chris let his eyes wander up and down her body; Gabby's eyes were closed, her head was tilted back, and she was biting her lip to prevent herself from moaning even louder. Her hands were still tied up behind her back, and her hips seemed to move completely on their own, aching for more stimulation. Kyra, unfazed, left the wand completely still against her shaft, and a minute passed like this, then two, until finally her breath started to quicken and, with another twitch of her legs, her dick throbbed and spurted out a single shot that landed on her belly fur. Fascinated, Chris watched closely as the rest of her cum dribbled weakly out of her, leaking down her shaft rather than shooting out. A few seconds later, Kyra turned the vibrator off and pulled it away, and Gabby once again slumped back on the couch, sighing as her dick continued to leak the last of her output.
"So. Pretty rad, huh?"
"Y-yeah, definitely..."
"Now." Kyra left the wand on top of the table and sat down by Gabby's side. "Yknow what aftercare is, Chris?"
"Um. Not really."
Kyra's paw reached up and started very gently patting Gabby's hair. "After a session, you always gotta take care of your sub. It's real important. The most important part, maybe. This shit can get intense, so you gotta let them know that you're there and give em time to recover. This one wasn't so rough, but still."
Chris smiled. "I never took you for the cuddly type..."
"And I'm not." She ran her fingers through Gabby's hair, whose breathing was starting to even out. "Snuggles and shit like that ain't my thing. But I'm always here to care for a sub. I sure as hell am not ashamed of that."
"Yeah, I see. That makes sense."
"So yeah. I think it would be cool if you two wanted to do this sort of thing together, but you better care for her afterwards." She took out her claws, pointing one of them in Chris' direction. "If you wanna keep your dick, that is."
"U-understood."
"Good." Her claws retracted back into her paw, and she let it rest on Gabby's thigh. "Can you reach the tissues over on that shelf?"
Chris nodded, then got up and grabbed the box of tissues, handing it over to Kyra. She then took one of them and started cleaning Gabby's belly fur. In turn, Gabby stirred in place.
"Mmmmm... you liked that, Chris?"
"Y-yeah. A lot. A lot lot."
"Haaah, I'm glad..." Once she was all cleaned up, the three of them sat together for a little while.
"Uh..." Chris said shyly. "Mind if I go to the bathroom? My paw has been kinda, uh, sticky for a while..."
"Hah, sure thing. You know where it is, right?"
"Yeah."
After getting up and walking over to the bathroom, Chris washed his paws and took the opportunity to splash his face with cold water. As he stared at his reflection in the mirror, only one thought went through his mind.
'Wow. That really just happened.'
---
Chris and Kyra slurped from either of their milkshake straws in unison, sitting side by side on the park bench. She let her head fall back, closing her eyes.
"I'm fuuuuuucking done with this heatwave, I swear."
"Yeah, it's been going for a while now, huh? It's very annoying. Good thing we found a spot in the shade today."
"Let me tell you, working out in this heat is absolute hell."
"Oh yeah, I guess it would be." Chris took another sip. "Also. I guess I'm into guys now?"
"Hah, welcome to the club. Enjoy your stay."
"I still like girls though, I know that much. I guess that makes me bi?"
"Maybe. I don't fucking know, man. If you like how that sounds, then sure."
"I think so? I mean, it's not like I get a choice, do I?"
"Sure you do. You can be straight and still be into like, one or two dudes. There's no rules for that."
"Hmm. I guess so? I don't know, this is all pretty uh, new. Today I woke up and thought 'oh, wait, guess I need to have a conversation with my parents now'."
"Pffffffft."
"What, what's so funny?"
"I dunno, dude. You're just so... normal. It's kinda funny in a way."
"Hey, what's THAT supposed to mean?"
Kyra laughed, bumping his shoulder with her fist. "Don't take it the wrong way. It's just... a conversation with your parents? I'm used to hangin' out with people who are way past that."
"Well, I'm not!" He returned the shoulder bump, laughing along. "I'm like, a baby gay. Still taking small steps."
"Hey, take as long as you gotta. Some folks don't figure themselves out until much later. You got all the time in the world."
"Yeah, I guess I do."
"I was surprised you asked Gab out too. That takes real courage, man. I'm proud of you."
"Th-thank you, haha... I still don't know how I did that." Chris rubbed his paw behind his neck. "Oh, and thank you for being so patient, too. You've been really supportive."
"Aw. Ain't you the sweetest little muffin. I'm glad I could help, dude. We've all been through that phase where everything is new and confusing as shit. I know I could have used some support back in the day."
"N-not just with this, either." Chris looked down, lowering his voice. "I didn't think I'd be into, like... you know, collars and leashes and stuff."
"Hah, yeah, I didn't have you pegged as the dominant type either, but hey."
"H-hey, speak a little quieter, will you? You want the entire park to know I'm..."
Kyra grinned. "A dom?"
"Sssssh! Come on!" Chris looked around him, fortunately not seeing anyone close by.
"Hah, alright, alright. Sorry. Hopefully you'll learn to not give a fuck what strangers think soon enough."
"W-well, I don't think I can quite reach your level, but I'll try..."
"Hey, speaking of. Gab told me you had plans for tomorrow."
"Ah, y-yeah, we do."
"Gonna be your first time properly domming, huh?"
"If all goes well, yeah. I'm still a little nervous..."
"I know the feeling, man. It's not really a problem if you do something wrong, though. It's like riding a bike. You learn by doing, and if you stop just cause you fell once, you ain't gonna fucking learn."
"I... guess so, yeah." Chris took one last sip from his milkshake, and then scooted to the side to drop it into a nearby trashcan. "It's funny, you somehow always know what to say. Someone else might have tried to comfort me with 'I'm sure you'll do great' or something like that, which... I don't think would have helped much."
Kyra shrugged. "Hey man, I say it like I see it."
They exchanged a quick smile, then Kyra squeezed her cup and tossed it into the trashcan.
"Oh nice, you got it in."
"That's what your boyfriend said to me last night. Ayo." She lifted the palm of her paw in Chris' direction.
Chris stared at her, blinking.
"What, not even gonna high five me? Fiiine, I'll do it myself." She clapped her paws together. "It's kinda lame if you don't participate."
"Ah, s-sorry. I was just thinking that, like. I do have a boyfriend now. That feels weird to hear."
Kyra laughed. "You do. And hey, your boyfriend's pretty hot, if you ask me."
Chris put his paws behind his head, grinning. "Yeah, he really is."
---
"S-so, um..."
Chris awkwardly shifted in place, sitting on the couch. By his side was Gabriel, patiently looking down at him.
"Like... I think you're going to have to help me out a little here. I don't really, uh, know what to do."
"We can do whatever you like, Chris." Gabriel shuffled closer. "Is it okay if I touch you?"
Chris nodded, and Gabriel reached out and put his hand on his thigh.
"I know you're nervous, and that's totally okay. Know that I don't expect anything from you. We're just here to have some fun together, alright? You're not 'supposed' to do anything specific, just whatever comes naturally to you." He smiled. "I promise, I'll let you know if I don't like it."
"R-right. The thing is though, I haven't done this before, so I don't even know what I want."
"Well... if that's the case, I can give you some ideas. But remember that these are just suggestions, and you should only do what you actually want to do."
"I'd actually appreciate some ideas a lot, haha..."
"Alright, let's see. I think for today we shouldn't go into using ropes or toys or anything like that. Let's say... I'm your pet, and you can do whatever you like to me."
Chris felt his cheeks warming up.
"And, as my owner, you can give me orders and I have to follow them. Does that sound interesting to you?"
"Orders? As in..."
"As in, making me strip, for example. Getting me down on my knees and telling me to pleasure you, or making me bend over and playing with me... those are some ideas."
Chris swallowed. "D-do you actually... like taking orders like that?"
"Oh, I LOVE it." Gabriel bit his lip, carefully stroking Chris' thigh up and down. "Being controlled and played with turns me on. A lot."
Chris nodded shyly. "I... yeah, in that case I would, um, very much like to do that. But like, about the toys..."
"Oh? Is there anything you'd actually like to use?"
"Um, not sure if this counts, but. I've kind of wanted to, like... hold your leash? For a long time now?"
"Oooooh." Gabriel stood up and walked over to a nearby drawer, opening it and looking through it. Finally, he came back with a leash in his hand. "Like this one, you mean?"
"Y-yeah."
"I'd like that a lot. Here, you can put it on me."
Chris stood up as well, took the leash and took a moment to untangle it, then grabbed the hook end and looked over to Gabriel.
"Could you like, bend down for a moment?"
"Oh, certainly, but... wouldn't you prefer to be a little more... commanding when you ask that?"
"Oh! Right. Um." He paused, thinking, and then looked up again. "C-come down here, pet."
"With pleasure." With a giggle, Gabriel bent his upper body down, tilting his head back and presenting his neck to Chris, who quickly attached the hook to the blue collar, giving it a small tug to make sure it was properly secured. Gabriel stood back up, smiling down at Chris. "So? How do you feel?"
Chris looked down at his paw, then followed the length of the leash with his eyes all the way to Gabriel's neck.
"... good. Really good, actually."
"That's great. So, what should I do next?"
"So um. I'd like- I mean. I want you to. Pick me up."
"Hm, pick you up? Like..." Gabriel bent forward, placing his hands by the sides of Chris' waist, and effortlessly lifted him up to eye level. "... this?"
"... a little closer."
Giggling, Gabriel pulled Chris closer, pressing him up against his own body, their faces so close together that they could feel the warmth of each other's breath. Chris figured that, with his dick poking right up against Gabriel's belly and his tail wagging wildly, any pretense of him not being ridiculously turned on was totally gone by now.
"Y-yeah, like that."
They looked into each other's eyes for a moment, quiet.
"So... what now, Chris?"
"... kiss me."
"Thought you'd never ask."
Without another word, Gabriel leaned in closer and pressed his lips up against Chris'. In turn, Chris closed his eyes, letting out a little muffled sound of pleasure into Gabriel's mouth. His footpaws waved around a bit, hovering above the floor, and he put his arms around Gabriel's neck, as if trying to hold himself up, the leash he was holding all bundled up between them. One of his paws moved up to stroke Gabriel's long hair. He responded by slightly tilting his head to the side, their lips rubbing together. They stayed locked in that position for a few more seconds before Gabriel finally pulled his head back, smiling and breathing heavily.
"So, did you like that?"
Chris enthusiastically nodded, trying to catch his breath.
"Here's a little tip for you. When your pet does a good job, they'll generally appreciate it if you praise them."
"O-oh. Right. Well, um. Put me down now."
Obediently, Gabriel lowered him until his footpaws touched the floor, and took a step back. Chris then looked up at him, trying his best to sound confident.
"There's a good boy."
Gabriel bit his lip, clearly appreciating the compliment. "Oh, thank you very much."
"Right, um, now... you did give me a good idea earlier. But first... why don't you, uh, t-take your shirt off for me?"
"Oh, I would love to. But is it okay if I remove the leash first? It's a bit of a pain otherwise."
"Oh! Sorry. Yeah, go ahead."
"Thank you." Gabriel reached up and unhooked the leash from his collar, letting it fall down to the floor. Then, he grabbed the bottom of his shirt with both hands and, in one quick motion, pulled his shirt up over his head. Chris, of course, stared the whole time, feeling his cheeks flush as his light brown chest and belly were exposed. Gabriel then shook his head to get his hair out of his eyes and threw the shirt onto the couch.
"So, uh, have I ever told you that I think you're really, really hot?"
"Don't think you have." He bent over to grab the end of the leash and attach it to his collar again, then run his hand over his own chest, grinning. "But it's good to hear it. Now... should I do anything else or do you plan on just staring? That would be fine by me."
"Oh, right, yes. S-so. This one is, uh, a little more embarrassing, but like... you were the one to suggest it, so..."
"Hm? What is it?"
"... g-get down on your knees."
"Heheh. As you wish."
Gabriel knelt down, resting his hands on his thighs, and looked at Chris.
"I-it's not often that I get to look DOWN at you..."
"How do you feel about it?"
"I um. I like it. A lot."
"Somehow I thought you would."
Looking at the leash hanging loose on the floor, Chris thought back to what he had seen Kyra do before, and wrapped it a few times around his paw to make it shorter. He then gave it a firm tug, and was delighted to see Gabriel quietly crawling closer. He then reached down and very carefully run his fingertips over the surface of Gabriel's antlers.
"S-so um. I guess this position is ideal for... something, but I don't know if you'd be okay with it..."
"Chris, I've told you before. If I don't like something, I'll use our safeword. That's the entire point. If I'm not, you can trust that I'm enjoying it."
"Are you absolutely sure?"
"Double and triple promise."
Chris smiled down. "In that case, um. I would like you to... you know. Give me head. If that is something you'd be okay with..."
"Of course, I would love that. But you're going to have to tell me what you want me to do, remember?"
"R-right. So uh. I guess pull my pants down first?"
With a grin on his face, Gabriel reached up and grabbed Chris' pants and underwear with both hands. He then started pulling them both down, and his eyes fixated on Chris' length as it sprung up, resting up against his belly. He couldn't help but notice a few drops of clear fluid already leaking from the tip, and he licked his lips before looking back up at Chris, who was red as a tomato by now.
"Should I pull them down further?"
"N-no, I think this is fine." Chris was holding the bottom of his shirt up to prevent it from getting stained. "Um. Go ahead and... lick it now."
Without another word, Gabriel leaned down closer to his crotch, stuck out his long tongue, and gave Chris' length a wide lick from the knot to the tip, drawing a quiet little moan from him. He then pulled his head back a bit to look up at Chris again, like asking for confirmation; after receiving a shy nod in response, he went back in and started licking again, over and over.
"Mmh- g-good boy... take it into your mouth now..."
Gabriel giggled and tilted his head back a bit, reaching up with one hand to grab the base of Chris' dick and angle it down towards his mouth. They locked eyes as Gabriel gently put his lips around the pointed tip and slowly, carefully, took the small package into his mouth without much trouble.
"A-ah... oh gosh, Gabriel..." Chris stared down, mesmerized. "Is it-mmph... still okay to tell you to do stuff now... while you can't talk?"
Gabriel nodded in response.
"In that case... s-start moving now."
Obediently, Gabriel's head started bobbing up and down, in a steady rhythm. He could feel Chris' length throbbing in his mouth, and could tell he wasn't going to last very long, but still didn't pick up the pace. He was a bit surprised when he felt a fluffy paw resting behind his head, not pushing with a lot of force but guiding his movements along. He closed his eyes and happily complied, following the rhythm that Chris' paw dictated.
"H-hah... clo-oose..."
Gabriel picked up the pace, moving faster and faster, pressing his tongue up against Chris' shaft to let them rub together with every movement. Even in his daze, Chris couldn't help but notice how even his tongue felt big, covering his whole length with every stroke. It didn't take more than a minute or two before Chris was panting, quickly approaching the edge. Finally, he gripped the back of Gabriel's head with one paw and thrust forward with his hips, letting out a louder moan before going quiet. Gabriel understood the signal and remained still, letting Chris' dick twitch and spurt a few sticky shots onto his tongue, leaving a bittersweet taste on it.
"Nngh- ah..."
When his orgasm started to fade, Chris tilted his head back and let out a happy sigh. Gabriel carefully took his stiff knot out of his mouth and pulled his head back.
"Couch?"
"Y-yeah, please..."
Gabriel rose to his feet, taking Chris' paw in his hand, and they both walked over to the couch. Chris closed his eyes as he let his weight fall down with a 'fwomp'.
"Haaaaaaah, oh my gosh..."
Gabriel sat down by his side. "Is that a good 'oh my gosh'?"
"Extremely good." Chris nodded.
"Glad to hear it. You did super well."
With a big smile on his face, Chris let himself fall to the side, resting his head on Gabriel's shoulder.
"Mmh... I know I have to give you aftercare now, but I'm totally spent. I could fall asleep..."
"Hey, there isn't just a single way to do aftercare. If you're tired, I have a better suggestion. Why not rest your head on my lap?"
Too sleepy to argue, Chris let his head fall forward and left it on Gabriel's lap, who in turn reached down and started running his fingers through Chris' headfur.
"Mmmmm. That's really good..."
"There we go. Let's rest like this."
"Sounds good to me." He yawned.
"Oh, and by the way, Kyra's right, you might want to cut back on the sugar. Even your cum is sweet."
Chris let out a loud whine, rolling over and hiding his face in Gabriel's thighs. "Not you tooooooo..."
---
"Yo, Chris."
An orange and black striped arm waved at Chris from the distance. He happily waved back and ran over to meet Kyra and Gabby. "Hey guys!"
Gabby smiled down at him, her hands behind her back. Kyra was holding her leash, as usual. "How are you doing today?"
"Pretty good! Just finished work now. How about you two?"
"Living through hell", Kyra said casually.
"Oh, come on. It's not THAT bad."
She tilted her head up to look at Gabby. "Easy for you to say. You can somehow wear a jacket and not be hot. Meanwhile I'm in short sleeves and getting fucking incinerated."
"Heh, what do you say we go grab a milkshake then?"
"Good plan."
As they walked through the park together, chatting about various topics, Kyra interrupted them.
"Hey, hold up." She extended her paw holding the leash forward. "Why don't you walk her today, Chris?"
"Wha- really?"
Gabby let out a giggle. "Ooooh, I like the idea."
"I- I mean..." Chris looked around. They were certainly getting a few weird looks, though most people were minding their own business and not paying any attention to them.
"It's only a suggestion. I thought you'd wanna."
"Well, I do want to, but... are you sure?"
Kyra shrugged. "Would I have said it if I wasn't sure?"
Chris looked down to her paw, hesitating, and picked up the leash, wrapping it around his own paw.
"A-alright..."
"Cool. You're in charge of her now!"
Gabby happily bounced up and down in place. He had to admit, their enthusiasm was contagious. And, well, it did feel good. Why should he care about a few looks? The three of them continued their walk, as if nothing happened, though Chris couldn't help but blush every time he remembered what he was holding.
"Oh, there's the milkshake place", pointed Chris.
"Nice! Have you decided what I'm having yet, Chris?"
"... huh? Why should I decide what YOU are having?"
"Well, because you own me? You make the decisions for me now, remember?"
"Wait, really?"
"Hey, if you don't like it, we don't have to do it like that! I just think it's pretty cute."
"... well, i-it is very cute, but... do you always do this with- wait."
He looked over to his side, only to see Kyra was nowhere to be seen.
"Where..."
Gabby pointed towards the milkshake place, where Kyra was already waiting in line. She glanced in his direction, then looked away, pretending to be whistling.
"Did she just... do this whole thing to get me to make the decision instead?"
"Weeeeell, that was probably not her only reason, but... yeah."
"And you really don't have a preference?"
"Hey, don't look at me!" She pointed at her collar. "I'm just a pet."
Chris sighed, then tugged on her leash to pull her head down and give her cheek a brief kiss.
"Sometimes you two are the worst."
