Chapter Sixteen
#17 of The Roommate
Bel was unwilling to wait all morning for Hiro to wake up, since he was anxious to leave and meet with Kyle. He went into the bedroom to check up on Hiro and stood at the side of the bed. Hiro's eyes were closed and he was breathing deeply, though Bel couldn't tell if he was really asleep or not.
He bent over the short canine's head and whispered loudly in his ear. "Hiro!"
"What?" Hiro murmured sleepily. "I told you to go away."
Bel was frustrated and almost felt like behaving unlike himself and smashing something. He pulled the blankets off of the shorter male. "I need to go home, Hiro."
Hiro tried to grab the blankets back, but they were out of his reach and he was forced to sit up to obtain them. His eyes opened and he looked at Bel, who was standing beside him with less and less patience as each minute passed.
"Since you want me to get up so badly, I guess I'll do it," he said with a dejected sigh. "Consider yourself special, because I wouldn't do this for anyone else."
Bel felt a rapid surge of relief and helped the other retriever out of bed. Hiro nearly tripped and hurt himself since his exhaustion prevented him from maneuvering his body movements very well, but he managed to make it out of the bedroom safely.
"I already ate," Bel informed him.
Hiro nodded and stumbled to the bathroom to wash his face. Bel sat on the edge of the bed and waited, his patience returned to him. Hiro reappeared looking more awake and sat on the bed next to Bel. "We've got a whole entire weekend. I spent the night dreaming about all the things I'm going to do to you."
"Actually I have to leave," Bel said quietly.
"What for? Do you secretly have a stash of sex toys that you've been waiting to use all this time? If so, then go ahead and bring them."
"No, that's not it..."
"Then what the hell do you need to do that's so important?"
"I need to take care of my dog," Bel mumbled, his ears falling back on his head.
Hiro laughed. "You can do that later. Your dog will be fine." He put his arm around the other and pulled him close. "So, what did you think of my cock last night? Do you want more?"
"Hiro, I really do need to leave," Bel insisted. "I can't leave Miyu alone for too long."
Hiro sighed and released his hold on Bel. "You're no fun. Run home to your pathetic little dog then and miss out on some more mind-blowing sex."
Bel felt bad for walking out on Hiro so soon, but the short canine could handle it. The issue with Kyle was more important and Bel didn't want such a recent friendship to die after all the kind things Kyle had done. He said goodbye to Hiro, but the other merely grunted at him. Bel tried not to take it personally, since Hiro was probably still irritated over getting up, and left the apartment to get on a bus.
He went home to his own apartment first to wash up, change his clothes, and feed Miyu. As soon as those chores were completed, he picked the telephone up and called Kyle a second time.
Kyle answered immediately. "Hello?" He sounded impatient and Bel could understand why.
"It's Bel again. I just left Hiro's apartment and am in my own home right now."
"Don't mention that bastard to me. Come over to my apartment as soon as you can. Since we couldn't have dinner together, maybe we can share a very early lunch instead."
Bel nodded, and then realized Kyle couldn't see him doing so over the phone. "Okay."
"I'll see you soon then." Kyle hung up.
Bel set the phone down and seated himself on the couch in an attempt to steady the dizziness that was invading his mind. The confusion had not left him and he felt like he was the rope in a game of tug-of-war, with Kyle pulling on one side of him and Hiro pulling on the other. The hardest part was that Bel felt responsible for deciding who would win the game.
He had no idea what conflict had started up between Kyle and Hiro, but he didn't like being included in it. He liked Kyle very much and didn't want to upset him, but at the same time he had a right to become sexually involved with whoever he wished. His time with Hiro had felt incredible and it made him look at his boss in a new way. It wasn't fair to be placed in such a difficult situation.
After making sure Miyu had plenty of water and locking his apartment up, Bel got in his car and drove to Kyle's home. It was turning out to be one of the busiest Saturday mornings he could ever remember having.
The trip to Kyle's apartment didn't take long and soon Bel found himself standing outside of his friend's door. He knocked, then realized he hadn't done it hard enough and knocked again. He mentally scolded himself for being nervous.
Kyle answered the door and immediately put his arms around Bel in a hug, pulling him inside. "Bel, you poor thing! Are you hurt? Did he force you at all?" He petted the feminine rabbit soothingly, much to Bel's confusion.
Bel tried to wriggle out of the tallwolf's grasp. "Ky, I'm fine..."
Kyle didn't let go and continued to cling to him and pet him like a worried mother. "Are you sure you're okay? I don't know how the hell that midget managed to seduce you, but I should hire somebody to beat him up!"
Bel finally managed to break free and stood apart from Kyle. "Ky, stop jumping to conclusions. I wanted what Hiro gave me, and I enjoyed it."
Kyle looked as if someone had just reached into his pants and tugged sharply on his underwear. "Bel, don't say that. I bet he brainwashed you! Don't listen to him!"
"Why are you being weird?" Bel demanded in frustration, raising his voice more than he usually did.
Kyle sighed. "Never mind. This is between me and Hiro and I shouldn't drag you into it. Let's just both calm down..." He hugged Bel again, more gently that time, and kissed the other on the mouth. It was the first time he had done such a thing to Bel and he pressed harder in a sudden burst of eagerness. "Bel, your lips are so soft!"
"Kyle, what are you doing?" Bel didn't pull away and appeared to be making inquiries out of mere curiosity.
Kyle ran his fingers through Bel's hair and touched his lips to every part of the others face. He knew right then and there that he was ready to act. "Bel, you may have lost your virginity to Hiro, but I'm going to be your second time."
Bel still felt sore from last night and the proposal of more sex so soon was overwhelming. "Right now?"
"I've waited long enough. I'm not going to wait longer only to have somebody else get to you before me again."
Bel didn't get a chance to reply just then because the telephone rang. Kyle didn't move from where he stood and embraced Bel, rubbing his paws over the small rabbits body.
"Ky, are you going to answer the phone?" Bel asked as another ring filled the air.
"Just ignore it. I'm sure it isn't an important call." Kyle kissed Bel's lips again, then pulled away and took him by the paw. "I guess I can't compete with Hiro, since he's had more practice fucking than I have. I spend most of my time getting fucked. But Hiro doesn't matter. I'm going to give you a good time right now, Bel."
He took the other male to his bedroom and gently set him on the bed. Bel remained quiet as Kyle removed his shirt for him, and then the rest of his clothes. Having had sex once before, Bel was entirely prepared for what would happen and watched Kyle stand in front of him and undress.
"Don't you dare compare me to Hiro," Kyle warned once his body was entirely exposed.
"I won't," Bel promised. He reached out and carefully touched the half-hard organ between Kyle's legs, thinking it was a ritual wanted by every male before sex. Hiro had certainly enjoyed it and Kyle apparently did too. He laid a paw on the back of Bel's head and petted him.
"Where did you learn that from, Bel? Shit... Never mind, don't answer that."
Bel blushed and remained silent, knowing that any mention of Hiro would make his friend upset. He could hear the phone ringing again from the other room, but Kyle took no notice of it.
Kyle straddled Bel's body and bent down to plant a kiss upon the others lips. Bel moaned and kissed back, soon forgetting everything but the sensations that were running through him. Kyle let his paws roam over Bel's body, exploring every nude inch. He reached the others thighs and gently pushed them apart.
"Are you ready now?"
Already experiencing sex made Bel crave more of it. He nodded his head.
Kyle positioned his arousal in the right spot and eased himself inside the feminine rabbit's body. Bel emitted a cross between a gasp and a moan. "Ky!"
The tall lupine smiled. "You like that then?" He continued moving inside Bel, going harder, then slower, and then harder again until he found the right pace and stuck to it. He entered deeply and hit the most pleasurable spot of all, making Bel cry out.
Kyle was tempted to ask if he was better than Hiro, but he refused to let the question escape his lips. The day was meant to be about him and Bel, which meant no mentions or even thoughts about Hiro. He doubted Bel would be able to answer his question anyway, as he was too busy moaning and writhing beneath him.
"You're so beautiful, Bel," Kyle said. Hiro had probably never complimented Bel during sex. Shit. No more Hiro. Hiro didn't exist at the moment.
Bel nodded, acknowledging the dark wolf's statement. His face flushed and a shudder ran through his body, and he gasped out Kyle's name as he released.
After Kyle came as well, the two of them lay on the bed quietly, simply enjoying each others company. Kyle no longer felt resentment at the moment. He hadn't taken Bel's virginity, but he had successfully given him a session of good sex and that was what mattered. "This is the best weekend ever," he remarked.
Bel curled up on his side and breathed deeply. "It's been an exhausting weekend."
Kyle sat up and took Bel's paw, pulling him along. "Come on, let's get in the shower and get clean. Then we can have lunch." He gathered up two changes of clothes, knowing that nothing he owned would be too small for Bel since he was taller than the light furred rabbit. He took Bel into the shower with him and the two males washed each other, cleaning off the bodily fluids that were a result of their intercourse.
Once they were both bathed and dressed in fresh clothing, Bel and Kyle sat in the kitchen and had lunch. They were almost finished eating when the telephone rang a third time.
Kyle banged his paw on the table in frustration and sighed. "I wish that phone would just shut up already. If I answer it, maybe it will finally quit."
He got up from the table and picked the telephone up. "Hello?"
"It's about time you picked up. I've got the best news ever!"
"Hiro, did you already try to call me twice before?"
"Yes," Hiro replied. "I'm so impatient to tell you that I would keep calling you all day long until you finally answered."
Kyle clenched the phone tightly in his paw, not caring if he broke it. "I think I already know what your stupid news is. Bel's over at my place right now and he told me."
Hiro was quiet, as if surprised into silence. He found his voice again. "Well I don't care if you already know what happened. I'm going to tell it to you myself. I FUCKED Bel!"
Kyle promptly hung up and slammed the phone down. "Bastard," he muttered under his breath.
Bel was finishing up his meal when Kyle reentered the kitchen. "Ky, is everything fine?" he asked, noticing the tall wolf's distraught manner.
"Yeah." Kyle calmed the expression on his face. "Nobody important called." He put an arm around Bel's shoulders. "How about you hang out with me for a couple more hours? Surely you don't have anything important to do."
Nothing made sense anymore to Bel. He had had sex with his boss the night before, and just recently had sex with his good friend. He had no idea what either male really meant to him and didn't know if he would ever find out. "Thanks, Ky, but I think I'll go home." More than anything, he just wanted to be alone for a while.
Weekends were the worst for Xaver. Weekdays were bad enough, but on Saturdays and Sundays he had no place to go. He was stuck in Oscuro's apartment and was gradually being driven more and more crazy with the boredom. It had taken him a very long time, but Xaver finally realized that being alone constantly wasn't always a good thing.
He wondered what Oscuro would do if he told him he was restless and bored. The buck would probably consider it a complaint and refuse to help him. The bastard.
No, that was unfair. It was impossible to deny that Oscuro's behavior had improved over the last few days and Xaver was beginning to think that he could trust him. Not with anything important, of course, but he was willing to give Oscuro a chance.
Xaver hadn't seen Oscuro in a while. The two of them had eaten breakfast and showered separately, and then Oscuro had disappeared to his bedroom to amuse himself. Taking a deep breath, Xaver walked up to Oscuro's bedroom door, which was firmly closed. He felt crazy and incredibly stupid, but he compelled himself to knock anyway.
Several moments passed before the door opened and Oscuro appeared looking slightly flustered about something. "Xaver, what are you doing here?"
"I'm sharing this apartment with you for a month," Xaver replied. "I thought I was allowed to go anywhere."
"Well do you have to visit my room right this minute?" Oscuro was holding a magazine in one hand and had it casually positioned in front of his lower body, below his waist, as if holding it upright was too much effort. "Just give me a few minutes and I'll come out and help you with whatever it is you need."
Xaver shrugged. "I'm here because I'm bored."
"I guess I'm bored too. But this really isn't the right time for you to be seeking entertainment from me."
"What are you talking about? I'm sure you have plenty of things to do. I suppose I'll steal your magazine from you if you don't want to use it." Before Oscuro could stop him, Xaver grabbed the magazine out of the buck's hand. It soon became apparent why Oscuro was so unwilling to talk to him.
"Shit," Oscuro muttered, lowering his ears. "Xaver, I was shielding myself for your own good and now you've gone and brought trauma upon your poor, sensitive self."
Xaver quickly averted his eyes from the Grey-haired bucj's crotch area, though he had already seen the aroused bulge in Oscuro's pants. He had no idea why Oscuro was hard or what he had been doing, and he seriously didn't want to know. "Er... I'm going to go to the kitchen now," he said lamely. "I'm getting hungry."
"After I take care of myself, I could still fix your boredom problem if you want me to," Oscuro offered, keeping up the conversation as though nothing strange had occurred.
Xaver nodded, feeling more idiotic by the second. "Maybe." He quickly handed the magazine back to Oscuro and went back to the living room. Oddly, he didn't feel as shocked and freaked out as he had when he caught Oscuro and Kyle having sex. He was more confused than ever before and the worst part was his own privates were tingling curiously after seeing Oscuro in a state of arousal.
He thought back to the time when he had unintentionally made himself hard while in the shower. He supposed he couldn't ignore the fact that he and Oscuro both possessed male equipment and that their cocks would always be there, no matter what. They were only body parts and there was honestly nothing to be afraid of.
He was being weird. His thoughts had strayed to a subject he still wasn't fully comfortable with yet and he decided he might as well distract himself with an early lunch. He had told Oscuro he would be in the kitchen after all.
He stood around in the kitchen but didn't get himself anything, not feeling hungry. He wondered how long it would take for Oscuro to make his erection go away. Soon he heard Oscuro's bedroom door open and close and he quickly opened the refrigerator so he would look like he was doing something.
He heard Oscuro behind him but didn't turn around. The contents of the refrigerator were suddenly very interesting. He was studying the side of a milk carton when he felt a hand gently touch him on the shoulder, forcing him to tear his attention from the food products.
"What do you want, Oscuro? I'm busy."
Oscuro took his hand away from Xaver's shoulder. "You really ought to get out of the house. I say we go somewhere today."
Xaver shut the refrigerator door. "Where would we go?"
The other shrugged. "Anywhere. I'll take you driving and I can stop wherever you want me to. Except for your apartment."
Amazingly, Xaver hadn't thought of his apartment. He supposed he was getting accustomed to his new surroundings and the thought scared him a little bit. What if he forgot his old life? "Can we just drive past my apartment? I want to see it again, even if it's only the outside of the building."
"That's fine, but you can't get out of the car. You could go spastic and run for home."
Xaver didn't care if he wasn't allowed inside his home. "Thanks, Oscuro," he said quietly. "You've been scarily nice for the past couple of days, but I might as well take advantage of it." He followed Oscuro outside to the car. Perhaps that weekend would turn out to be much better than the last one.
