It was a crisp, chilly Tuesday morning, and the time on the alarm read 7:00am. The sun gently filtered into the small bedroom, and amongst the mass of blankets and covers on the bed, a body stirred. It rolled about and groaned, and out from the depths, a white-furred head poked out, nosing deeply into the plush pillows and scrunching it's eyes.

The furred creature rolled again and covered it's head with the blankets again, and after a few moments, there was a faint snoring and long, deep exhales. There was silence once again as the creature drifted off into another light slumber. But, it didn't last long.

After a number of minutes, there was a sharp knock on the bedroom door, and it opened a small crack.

"Kids," A woman spoke, her snout poking just through the door. "Time to get up."

Her soothing, yet firm tone was enough to make the blankets stir again, and after a few moments, a pair of figures rolled out of the bed, up on their feet. Briefly, they looked at each other, and grins spread across their face.

The smaller, white fox was Pent, and the taller canine was his boyfriend, Archie. The two of them had been together for a month, and the pair of them were head over heels for one-another. When they weren't all over each other, they were attempting to do other things. They were still in the honeymoon phase, and neither of them knew whether this blossoming need for one-another was ever going to end.

The artic fox stretched out his back and let out a long, tired sigh, rolling his head around. He wondered whether they should have really spent all night messing around. Now the pair of them were tired on this, a school day. He scratched the back of his head and shuffled his way towards the door, with Archie in tow.

"Tired?" Archie asked him quietly as his hands suddenly snaked around Pent's waist, tugging him up towards his body. The small fox stuck out his tongue and his eyes twinkled with mischief.

"Well, we were up most of the night..." He began, and heard the slightly older canine chuckle.

"Your idea, not mine. You reap what you sow." He teased, and Pent quivered as he felt the canine's body press up against him. He could already feeling the swelling member hidden beneath his boyfriend's boxers, pulsing and twitching up against his rump and the small of his back.

"Maybe we should shower," Pent began, feeling his breath hitch in his throat. "Before we, um, spend all day doing this."

"Sounds like a plan. Wouldn't want to get you stuck for the next half an hour." Archie smirked to himself, and Pent felt his cheeks redden at the sheer prospect of it.

The two of them slipped through the door and quickly across the hallway, hopping into the bathroom before Archie's mother caught them fiddling around. It was a difficult situation: Archie was adamant that his mother wouldn't approve of their relationship, so they had to be cautious every time they were over. But, for the both of them, the thrill of being caught was tantalising in itself.

Archie reached over to turn on the shower as Pent stood there, shuffling on his feet with a big grin on his face. In the closed, confined space of the bathroom, his nose picked up the faint aromas of their musk, the sweaty scent of each of their bodies that originated from their boxers.

As Archie turned back around, Pent shifted onto his knees. The canine paused for a moment and his eyes drifted down to Pent, watching his furiously wagging tail and his happy expression. The smaller fox's nose buried itself amongst Archie's boxers, his snout tucked underneath Archie's balls and right up against his taint. The canine shivered for a moment and squirmed a little from the assault, before he eventually relaxed. He could hear Pent taking in deep breaths.

The tantalising scent of his boyfriend's musk was enough to make Pent's body tingle. The little vulpine's tail began to wag even faster, and he let out a small whine as his hand immediately delved to his own crotch. He groped the outside of it and felt his small sheath swell and twitch underneath his own grip.

"Allow me." Archie grinned to himself, getting a little excited himself. He raised his left foot and stroked the pads along the top of Pent's hand, and the fox understood. He slowly moved his hand out of the way, and it was soon replaced with the emanating warmth of Archie's pawpads. A groan escaped his throat and he nosed a little deeper, gently rolling his hips against Archie's foot. His cock twitched and quickly grew to half-mast under the gentle touch of his lover's paw.

"You like that?" Archie asked, his breath turning into excited, short pants as his own cock was pressing right up against his own boxers, eager to be touched and pleasure. Pent slowly reached up his hands and put them on Archie's hips, and he kneaded his hands into his boyfriend's warm flesh. Another groan escaped his throat and it was soon met with Archie's own groan. He was thankful he'd already turned on the shower: it meant that his mother couldn't hear them.

Pent continued to roll his hips up into Archie's paw, and the canine curled and wriggled his toes against the twitching cock, forcing the fox to quiver and shudder from the sheer pleasure. Archie couldn't take the teasing pleasure any longer, and he slowly slipped down his boxers, revealing his twitching member, the knot at the base slowly swelling and forming into a thick, bulbous shape.

"Pent..." He huffed out, angled the tip of his member down. Pent was quick to give him the pleasure he deserved, and his trailing up the hard member and along to the tip. His tongue rolled out, tracing along the tapered end, before he slid the length down into his mouth. He heard Archie groan in utter ecstasy as the tip of the cock slid across the roof of Pent's mouth, towards the back of his throat, before it pulled back again. The small fox gently bobbed his head back and forth, and his boyfriend put his hands on Pent's head, gently stroking and massaging his fur and ears.

Pent began into a steady rhythm of humping his lover's foot as his head began to slowly bob, his hands stroking along Archie's bare hips. Both of their tails wagged happily amidst their moans and groans, and Pent could feel his lover's toes curl and squeeze around his cock. The inside of his boxers was already incredibly sticky, and the tingling pleasure shot right up his spine, leaving him feeling numb, the faint hum of sickly bliss leaving him a moaning mess.

"Keep going, I'm..." Archie closed his eyes as his grip tightened slightly on Pent's ears, and a small exhale escaped his throat. His breathing grew ragged, and he slowly rolled his hips up against his Pent's mouth. His cock slid against the back of his throat, briefly, before it rolled back again.

Pent didn't stop, feeling his own pleasure reaching it's peak. He whined and squirmed under Archie's foot-based assault, feeling the toes wriggling and squirming against his little member. The air was filled with their lewd moans and the wet, sticky sounds of Pent's gooey boxers rolling up against Archie's pawpads. His hips humped faster and faster, quivering and shuddering at his breathing grew irregular. He was as close as Archie was, and he didn't want this pleasure to end.

Then, the canine grunted and shut his eyes tight. A small sigh escaped his mouth, and he relaxed a little as a thick string of cum spurted from the tip of his cock. He orgasmed, pumping string after string into Pent's mouth, leaving the fox with the salty taste on his tongue. The willing fox gulped the fluids down, feeling his cheeks flush with embarrassment and excitement. He pushed his mouth down as far as he could, feeling the thick twitches of his lover's cock against the back of his throat as his own hips wildly humped against Archie's bare foot. He soon orgasmed himself, stickying up the inside of his boxers with his own tiny spurts of cum. Archie curled his toes around Pent's throbbing member as the fox's humping slowed, a sigh escaping from his nose.

The two were left a panting mess, and Archie was thankful they were about to have a shower right afterwards. It made it easier to clean. Pent slowly pulled his mouth back, leaving a string of sticky cum between his lips and the tip of Archie's member, and the canine grinned a little bit, stroking Pent's ears affectionately. The fox laid back a bit and let out a long, tired sigh, a small smile on his face. He was exhausted now.

"Don't go falling asleep on me. You've got to go to school." Archie teased and Pent stuck out his tongue at him, feeling a little defiant. In all honesty, Archie would have loved to have laid in bed all day, but he knew it was important. That, and it was part of keeping up their facade of innocent friendship in front of his mother. He pulled Pent to his feet and grinned as he trained his finger against the sticky boxers, slowly pulling them down.

Pent peered down alongside his boyfriend to see just how sticky he'd become, and he could see the strings of cum hanging between his boxers and his pelvis. He felt his cheeks redden and he shuffled a little, feeling a bit embarrassed. He felt a small kiss on his forehead, before the boxers fell to his ankles. He stepped out of them, and they stepped into the shower.

The warm water was enough to begin to slowly wake the pair of them up, and their hands ran over one-another in the privacy of their showering. Pent was always a little bit explorative, but he enjoyed his lover's gentle touch, and appreciated his aid in washing his back and tail. That, and the hand stroking along his sheath was nice, though he was in no fit state to orgasm again so soon.

"So, what classes do you have today?" Archie asked him as his hands ran along Pent's back. he stroked from his prominent shoulder blades, down to the small of his arched back and further down to his plush rump. He adored the way they felt in his eager hands, and his tail lightly wagged happily.

"Uuuh...Science. P.E...English, Maths, and ICT." He replied absently, closing his eyes and smiling to himself gently. The stroking along his back was nice, as was the groping along his rump, though it made him blush a little. Archie leant down into his shoulder and sighed to himself.

"Mmh. We have all our classes together but ICT..." He sounded wistful, snaking a hand around to Pent's stomach. "I'll miss you."

Pent felt his heart soar, and he angled his head a little, before slowly turning around. He leant up and planted his lips against Archie's own, and they stuck out their tongues, licking against each other. Archie tugged Pent a little closer as his hands roamed again, and Pent couldn't help but giggle.

"It's only for an hour." He tried to reassure Archie, but he was already dreading the lesson without his boyfriend, too. It was hard to keep their hands off each other in the proximity of Archie's mother and other students at school. That, in itself, was the hardest part, but it'd be even harder if they weren't going to see each other for a little bit.

"We'll just have to make the most of lunch-time, wont we?" Archie teased, emphasising what he had in mind with a quick, firm squeeze to Pent's rump, and the fox grinned sheepishly in response. He wasn't going to say whether he wanted to or didn't want to: it was much more thrilling to leave it to chance.

The two of them stepped out of the shower and towels themselves and each other off, making sure their fur was relatively dry before they quickly slipped back into the bedroom. Pent had already packed up his school clothes for the day when he had stopped over, and he tugged on his new boxers and trousers, buttoning them up. Archie was quickly getting dressed himself, as the pair of them knew they often had little time in the morning, especially when they were too busy fornicating to watch the time.

They doon descended downstairs, the pair of them dressed in their school uniforms, and quickly took a seat at the table. The milk, bowls, and cereal was already set out on the table, and Archie's mother was doing the washing up as they ate.

"You were late coming down this morning." Archie's mother remarked, and the two cubs exchanged a worried glance, for a moment. They shifted a little and Archie chewed his cereal as he thought of a good excuse.

"Couldn't find my shirt." He replied, and heard a grunt of wonder in response. He blew a quiet sigh of relief, thankful he'd managed to think of a convincing enough excuse.

They quickly ate their breakfast and were out of the door 10 minutes later, chuckling to each other as they headed down the road. It was cold this morning: it was slowly coming into winter, and the two were strapped up with thick wintery coats. It always got incredibly cold around winter time, and they thankfully had gear to compensate the chill that often set into their bones.

As always, the walk was short, and felt even shorter as the two of them talked, walked, and occasionally held hands, when no-one was watching. Before they knew it, the school was in sight. Their fingertips lingered against one-another's hands before they eventually had to let go, and they parted slightly to make it appear that they weren't too intimate.

They stepped into the halls of the school and Pent moved towards his locker, with Archie quickly in tow. The canine leant against the metal lockers as the fox retrieved his own books and stowed away his gym bag.

"Did you do the science homework?" Archie asked him with a small smirk and Pent shot him a knowing glance.

"Of course." He replied. "Even if you were distracting me a little."

"You loved it." Archie countered.

"...Yes I did." Pent shot back, and the two of them grinned at each other.

Pent shut the metal door of his locker, stowing away the assortment of books into his shoulder bag. They moved towards Archie's locker and their roles changed, with the fox leaning against the lockers, and Archie rummaging through the locker's contents for his things.

Science went by with ease: it was a simple lesson filled with, primarily, Physics. Around the winter season, they move into physics, and it's usually around spring and the start of summer that they primarily do Pent's favourite segment, Chemistry. Archie was a bit more of a math geek, making Physics lessons relatively easy for him. Pent worked lightly slower than him, as it took him a little bit longer to work out the maths behind the questions.

Before they knew it, it was time for P.E, and both of them were dreading whatever outdoor activity they'd be forced to do. They knew it was cold outside, and they had seen blistering winds through the window whilst they had sat in the science lab.

They retrieved their bags from their lockers, and adjourned to the changing rooms at the far end of the school, which a short walk that lead to the gym, if they were going there. The two of them dropped their bags by the bench and began to strip. It was always an odd time: this was the first part where Pent had begun to enjoy the scent of boys. Especially after a vicious workout, the smell of their sweat and musk often wafted around the room and brewed up into a sickly concoction of musk that most people didn't seem to mind, but it was something he enjoyed immensly. But, it was also a curse: he had to avoid himself getting too excited each time and usually had to quickly leave before things got too strained.

Pent tugged off his trousers and pulled on his shorts, briefly lingering as he watched Archie change, spotting the very brief flash of his lover's underwear. He glanced to the left and saw one of his classmate, who he rarely talked to, staring at him, looking puzzled. Pent quickly returned to changing, peeling off his socks and pulling on his sports ones, which reached up to the knees, coloured white with red and blue stripes.

"Alright, gang," The coach stepped into the changing rooms, dressed in his own sports attire. This was how the coach typically addressed his students, and it was at this point that he often told them where to go. He usually went and told the ladies first, and no-one commented on that, lest they start spreading malicious rumors.

"You'll be in the gym today," He said to them, and the room filled with brief sighs of relief. "Don't get too enthusiastic, but today is Dodgeball."

The room erupted into cheers of delight. Dodgeball was every boy's favourite pasttime, or at least, most of them. If was a fast-paced and fun sport that involved throwing balls at each othre. Were they any older, they might have laughed at the immaturity of the explanation of the sport, but they were at the optimum age to be too excited about such a thing to care.

The coach soon departed, and the average speed of the boy's changed to amped up to maximum levels. They were quickly getting changed, eager to get started and make the most out of the lesson before it was over. This was one of the few times that they enjoyed P.E, and that was rare.

They quickly filed their way out of changing rooms, and Pent glanced over at Archie, who looked a little sour. Pent knew why: boys often threw the balls hard, and Archie wasn't good at dodging. It often hurt. The fox reached over and gave his lover's hand an encouraging squeeze, and Archie shot him a small smile in response.

They stepped into the gym hall, and soon enough, sides were decided. Pent was secretly elated when the captain of their team picked Archie to be amongst them, and they stood there patiently until they had to move to their side of the court.

The match soon began, and it was a disaster. Pent might not have been good at the sport, but he tried hard. He was out within moments, and soon enough, so was Archie. The two of them sat on the bench as they watched the rest of the match, and not before long, they were back out on the court again.

It went on like that for a long time until the hour was finally up. Everyone was drenched in sweat, panting and wiping their foreheads to keep themselves cool. They hunched over and panted amongst themselves until the coach finally allowed them to move back to the locker room. Pent held his breath a little, already worried about just how aromatic the changing rooms might be.

They were as bad as he feared. He took up the rear of most of the boys, and by the time he'd stepped into the room to change. The wafting scent of the boy's musk hit his nostrils and he shifted uncomfortably on the spot as he moved towards the benches. Archie glanced to him and looked a little worried.

"Hey. You okay?" He asked him quietly, leaning in a little closer. Pent could smell Archie's own scent in that moment, and it overpowered all others. He quivered a little on the spot and grinned a little awkwardly.

"I...It's the smell," He quietly explained. "Makes me feel...well..."

He didn't need to explain further, and Archie appeared to understand. A slow grin spread across the canine's face, and Pent shot him a frown, wondering what exactly he was planning.

The school lacked showers for their gym rooms, which often left most of their students clad in sweat as they change into their uniforms, and it was no different today. One by one, the boys filed out of the room, leaving the lingering scent of their musk in their wake. Pent was one of the last to get changed, and it appeared that Archie was waiting around for him. It was break time up next: they had nowhere to rush to, and had 15 minutes to spend getting a snack and relaxing. But, Archie had other plans.

Pent was about to reach for his bag when Archie slipped his hands around Pent's waist, tucking underneath his sweater and stroking along his stomach fur. Pent tensed for a brief moment, before a small smile spread across his face.

"What're you doing?" Pent asked quietly, glancing around him. He noticed that they were the only ones remaining in the changing rooms.

"Just enjoying my boyfriend." Archie mumbled. "I have something you might like."

"Mmh...?" Pent quieried with a grunt as the fingertips danced around his stomach and up to his chest. "What's that?"

Archie didn't reply at first, instead dragging the little fox cub over towards the far corner of the room. There were a few cubicles in the changing rooms that were for the more self-conscious people amongst the boys. They were often never used, but were perfect in a time like this. Archie pulled his cute boyfriend over into the cubicle and shut the door slowly behind him with a small chuckle.

"So...?" Pent intially began, wondering what exactly Archie had planned. He shifted to sit on the small bench in the cubicle and scratched the back of his head as his lover slowly turned, his hands behind his back. At first, the 12 year old wasn't sure what the canine was holding, but it eventually became evident.

Before he had much room to say anything more, something was chucked in his face, draping expertly across his nose and up to the top of his head. He blinked and flinched as the assaulting object hit him, and he quickly realised what it was. The aroma was distinct, something he was thoroughly familiar with.

It was Archie's sock, and it smelt wonderful. The end of the sock was right up against his nostrils, giving him the most potent of the smells, mixed in with the small, faint trace of Archie's sweat that emenated throughout the cubicle, as well as the clothing itself.

Pent soon let out a small whine of pleasure and took in a big, deep sniff, his tail wagging behind him and the feeling of pure joy humming throughout his system. Archie watched him with a massive grin on his face, and the canine slowly got onto his knees.

"There's more, my love." Archie assured him, leaning down slowly and putting a hand onto Pent's leg. The fox stiffened immediately and a small whine escaped his throat, his eyes darting down to watch the canine and his lewd, teasing expression. Slowly, the canine's hand drifted closer and closer until he was unzipping the boy's uniformed trousers.

The fox shifted his hips up and the trousers slid down to his socked ankles, as he hadn't yet put his shoes on. With his boxers exposed, the canine slipped a hand in through his leghole and gently stroked his sheath, feeling it pulse and grow under his touch. Pent whined again in response, beginning to pant heavily as he took in the delicious smells of his lover's foot musk.

"Archie...This is..." He whined out in pure happiness, wriggling left and right as he closed his eyes, in paradise. His member was creeping out of his sheath with ease and pulsed into half-mast in a matter of moments, just from the sheer pleasure of his lover's touch, as well as the tantalising scent.

"You like that?" Archie chuckled in response as he slowly slid down the front of his boyfriend's boxers. He exposed the swelling little member and put a hand on it's tip, feeling the tip of his member. Pent was pre-cumming extensively, and his little member twitched at the faint touch.

"You'll love this even more." Archie murmured, and at first, Pent didn't know what he was doing. Then he felt something warm and plush along his member. He peeked open an eye, and let out a gasp when he saw one of Archie's gym socks pressed right down against his cock. His member was enveloped in the sweaty, damp sock, and his small member twitched inside it as a warm groan of pleasure escaped his mouth.

"Oh god..." He sighed out, rolling his head back and relaxing as Archie's hand wrapped around his member again, pumping the sock up and down his knotted length. He quivered and humped every so often, overwhelmed with amazing pleasure and sharp sensations.

"Please...please...!" Pent begged, feeling the pleasure build and build. Archie didn't stop his assault, pumping the sock up and down as Pent writed, his toes curling in his own plain socks. He shuddered and groaned, feeling a sickly sweet ecstasy bubbling up in his system.

Then, it hit him. He humped up and a sigh of pleasure escaped his mouth as tiny strings of cum spurting up into the fabric of the sock, slowly leaking out and dribbling down, coating his member in the sticky fluids as his knot swelled from the pleasure.

"Good boy." Archie teased as his hand gently stroked the pulsing member, feeling it twitch under his grip. He stroked it slowly and felt Pent tense and huff softly. He slowed a little and peeled the sock off of his lover's member, staring at the faint string of cum between the fabric and the tip of Pent's member.

The little fox panted harshly, curling and uncurling his toes, over and over as he slowly sat up, grinning goofily behind the sock, and Archie reached up to pull the sock off his nose. He leant forwards and nosed against his sock for a final time, before he flopped back. He was exhausted.

He shifted and got to his feet, and Archie soon followed, stroking along the small of his back and he tucked away his lover's sheath back into his pants. He quickly got him dressed, and pulled up his trousers.

"...I love you." Pent mumbled to him, pressing into his chest and cuddling him affecionately as Archie pressed his nose down into his shoulders, cuddling against him. They stayed like that for a while, cuddling against each other before they eventually moved. They snuck out and retrieved their things, making sure they were decent. The bell for the next period rang the minute they left the changing rooms, and Pent felt his stomach growl. Perhaps they should have got something to eat.

They moved through to their next lesson, English, and it thankfully went through without a hitch. They sat next to one-another and discussed the various philosophical debates around the play Hamlet, and the effect the betrayal of a parent has on a person. Of course, neither could read too deep into it, but they humored their teacher nontheless.

After that was Maths, and that, too, went by with ease. Both of them were good at the subject, and they made their way through the content without much issue, though Archie was always a little better than Pent at it.

They sat against one-another and the two of them tried their best not to grin too much, or gaze for too long. It was a difficult task, and the two of them were struggling with it.

Their relationship had escalated so month in the past month, and it showed. Once the time came for lunch time, and two of them were struggling to keep their hands off of each other. Archie was the first to crack, and after the two of them had quickly downed their sandwiches, he stood, coaxing Pent out of the lunch hall.

"Eager, huh?" Pent giggled quietly as they walked down the barely populated hallway. The canine stopped, gently moving them towards the stairwell. He snuck them towards the back of the stairs, and they tucked underneath. It was a bit cramped, so Pent moved to sit down, and Archie moved over the top of him.

Within moments, their lips met, and Archie pressed down onto his boyfriend, kissing him over and over. Pent felt weak at the knees, and he was now secretly thankful he was sitting down, else he might have buckled. He reached up, curling a hand around the back of Archie's neck, quivering beneath him.

The two of them were sent into a whirldwind of passion, a tangle of limbs, intertwined with one-another. Their hands gripped and squeezed, tugged and pulled. Archie's mouth descended down upon Pent's neck and assaulted him with a flurry of kisses and licks, and Pent's grip tightened on his lover's shirt. Their bulges pressed against one-another, twitching against each other through the fabric of their underwear and uniformed trousers.

Pent's hands slowly lowered down onto Archie's waistline, and his fingers fumbled with his trousers, trying to unbutton them. The canine above him paused for a moment and slowly drew his head back.

"If we...you know," He began, sounding a little embarrassed. "We'll be stuck."

"...Oh. Right." Pent lowered his gaze, feeling ashamed for having forgotten what a knot actually does. He had been too caught up in the passion of it all to really think about it.

"Silly," Archie chuckled as his mouth descended again, kissing along Pent's collarbone. "Save that enthusiasm for later."

Pent quivered at the mere concept of what ventures they might get up to later on in the day, and slowly, Archie slid out from the stairwell, pulling Pent with him. As they got to their feet and adjusted themselves, they heard the piercing din of the bell above, signifying the end of lunch time and the beginning of the final period of the day.

The two of them stared at each other wistfully, knowing that this was where they would part ways. Archie gave Pent a rather brave expression, though inside, he was secretly going to miss him. The two of them were head-over-heels for each other, finding an hour apart to be pure torture.

They eventually stepped out into the throng of students, and they lingered against one-another for a moment, before they eventually parted away. They went down opposite ends of the hall, and already, Pent could feel a tugging on his heartstrings. He missed him already.

The next lesson, ICT, was only an hour, but it felt more like 10 in Pent's eyes. He absently clicked at the screen as his mind drifted into sickly states of daydreaming.

He was scolded a number of times for not focusing on his work, and after a while, the class was finally over. He blew a sigh of relief and quickly collected his things. He was one of the first out of the door, and they made his way to the foyer, in amongst the mass of other students who were making their way home. He could see just about see Archie in the crowd and made a bee line for him. They greeted each other with a sly, affection bump to each other's shoulders, before they headed out into the crisp afternoon air. Pent shivered, and tugged his coat a little closer to him.

"My place?" Archie asked with a small smirk, and Pent grinned up at him, nodded in agreement. They took a right, heading down the road. The fox was nervous, wondering what they might get up to in Archie's house. It was a little closer than Pent's place, and they got there in no time.

They stepped up to the door and Archie turned the handle, swinging it open and stepping inside. The place was a little quiet, but they could faintly hear the television from the living room.

"I'm home." Archie called, and they heard the TV turn off. There was a scuffling of feet against the floor, and after a moment, Archie's mother appeared in the doorway to the living room. Her lips were drawn into a thin line and she folded her arms, slowly. Something was wrong.

"...You okay?" Archie asked, his face a mixture of worry and bweilderment. She didn't answer as first, as if finding the best way to deal with whatever the situation was.

"I think it's best if Pent went home for the day." She spoke, and the cubs exchanged a confused glance. Pent felt a feeling a dread brewing in the pit of his stomach, and he looked worried. He could already feel himself getting pale.

"Why?" Archie countered, his brow furrowed. It wasn't like his mother to suggest such a thing, unless Pent was unwell, and they both knew he wasn't.

"Because I said so." His mother said after a short pause to reflect on her answer. Archie's expression twitched, and he looked annoyed.

"That's not a very good answer," He countered, and his mother looked livid. "I want Pent to stay."

"He's not. I'm sending him home." His mother replied as she took a step forwards, and both of the cubs shrank away a little. Something was very wrong, but she wasn't letting on why.

"But why? He's done nothing wrong, and neither have I...I think." Archie replied, puffing up his chest a little. He wasn't about to back down, especially when it was his boyfriend he was defending.

For a moment, his mother was silent, attempting to think up a good response. The two cubs stood there, with Archie looking definitively defiant and Pent looking particularly worried.

"I wont have..." She began, struggling to find the right words. "That kind of...behaviour in my household."

"...What behaviour?" Archie, for a moment, was puzzled, but he secretly knew she'd caught them, somehow.

His mother didn't respond to the question, and she moved closer, towards the door. She sidled past them and opened up the front door, swinging it ajar and holding it towards the wall.

"Goodbye, Pent." She firmly replied. Pent stood there for a moment, bewildered, and he looked from her to Archie, and back again.

"Leave, Pent." She demanded, sounded a little angier. The fox felt tears bubbling up into his eyes and he sniffled, hard, wiping his eyes as he headed out the door. He turned to speak to Archie, but the door was slammed in his face.

Pent was speechless. What had just happened? Why was he asked to leave? He feared the worst, and the idea of never being able to see Archie again brought a lump to his throat as he felt tears bubbling up into his eyes. He sniffled hard again and turned, hopping down the steps and heading off down the road as a desperate sprint. He ran and ran for a while until he found himself at his home.

He swung open the door, shutting it hard behind him, which had apparently caused his brother to stir from the kitchen to see the problem. But, by that point, Pent had dumped his bag and shoes by the stairs and was already halfway up.

"Pent?" His brother called, sounding concerned. "What's the matter?"

The small fox didn't repond, heading into his room and shutting the door hard behind him. He landed, face-first, onto the mattress, and bawled into his pillow. He felt as if his heart had been pulled out of his chest. He sobbed and sobbed, wondering what on Earth had caused such a major reaction out of Archie's mother, and why she was so adamant that they couldn't hang out.

After an hour, he could feel his cell phone vibrating in his pocket, and the clothed cub rolled over, digging into his trousers to retrieve it. He looked at the caller ID, and racognised it as Archie's cellphone number. He quickly answered it.

"Archie?" Pent asked weakly, wondering if it were even him at all.

"...Yeah. it's me." Archie replied, but he didn't sound happy. Pent sniffled hard again and wiped his eyes.

"What happened? Your mom was so angry..." Pent immediately asked, and he heard a sigh on the other end of the phone.

"Pent..." Archie began, and the fox's heart sank from his tone. "Mom knows we're together."

"...So?" Pent didn't quite understand the issue. "What's wrong with that?"

"My mom isn't happy about it," Archie continued. "She doesn't think I'm old enough for it yet, or that I should be...with boys."

Pent was silent for a moment, as was Archie, as they mulled over the consequences of their actions. Pent could hear Archie's laboured breathing over the other end of the phone, giving him the impression that he'd been just as upset as Pent had.

"...What do we do?" Pent eventually asked, quietly, wondering if his boyfriend had any ideas.

"I don't know," Archie began, his voice barely above a whisper. "Mom says we...we can't hang out anymore. And that we can't be together."

"But...she doesn't have any right!" Pent insisted, feeling the anger rising within him. "It's not fair!"

"I know." Archie replied, sounding dejected and defeated. "But...I can't do anything about it. Neither can you. But...she can't spy on me at school."

Pent felt his heart sink and felt another wave of tears brimming up in his eyes. He sniffled and wiped his nose, feeling that same dejected feeling that Archie had.

"So we can only be together at school?" He weakly replied, and he heard Archie sigh again.

"Yeah." He replied quietly, and Pent pulled his knees up to his chest. This felt like the worst day of his life.

"Oh, and scouts. But...she might talk to the scoutmaster." Archie added, and Pent tugged his knees up even further. He pressed his chin down into his knees and sniffled again.

"But..." Pent began, beginning to weep a little. He didn't want it to be over, to have to tip-toe around people just because he liked someone, and they didn't like it. He could hear Archie getting upset as well, which made it even worse.

"I'm sorry." Archie replied, and Pent heard him sniff and wipe his eyes. "There's nothing I can do."

"...I guess I'll see you at school, then." Pent mumbled, as he rolled onto his side, pressing the phone against his cheek.

"I love you, Pent." Archie mumbled over the phone, and Pent felt his stomach tingle. He took in a shaky breath as a small smile played upon his lips through teary eyes.

"I love you too." He whispered out, and he heard the faint click as Archie hung up. After a moment of silence, he heard the brief beep that sounded the end of the call. His cell phone slipped from his hands and he pulled his knees up towards himself, tugging his blanket over his body. He wept silent, pressing his face into his pillow. He'd never felt so sorrowful in his entire life.

He hadn't moved for a number of hours, and it was inevitable that his brother would eventually come to tell him his dinner was ready. The tall, athletic Red Fox stepped into the room after peeking his head through the doorway.

"Pent? You asleep?" He asked, and there was moment inside the mass of blankets that told him otherwise. "Dinner's ready. You comin' down?"

"...No." Pent eventually replied after moments of silence, and his brother could hear a faint sniffing from inside the cover.

He sighed. Kotaro was always so close to his smaller brother, but when it came to matters of the heart, Pent loved to shut himself out and not talk about it. Perhaps he feared that Kotaro might have the same reaction that Archie's mother did. Of course, Kotaro already knew the whole story: Pent's mother had called earlier in the day to inform him of what was going on, and the brother had feigned shock at the outing of their relationship to spare them both any sort of heartache. Of course, the red fox was a little more wiser than that. He'd known about their relationship the minute it had started, and he knew Pent had always liked boys over girls. They'd never had the dicussion, but then, Kotaro hadn't really needed to intervene until now.

The 27 year old brother crouched down by the bed on digitrade paws, barefoot, and gently poked at the covers. He saw Pent wriggling underneath them, and knew that the small arctic fox was in no mood for roughhousing, or playful antics.

"Pent," He eventually said, his voice low and soothing. "You can talk to me about anything. You know that, right?"

There was a moment of silence, and eventually, Pent rolled over on the bed. He lifted the covers a little and his small snout poked out from the tiny gap, sniffling a little. He looked as if he wanted to talk about it, but still remained silent.

Slowly, Kotaro snuck his hands under the covers, and pulled. He tugged Pent out of his hiding spot underneath the covers, and into his arms. He gave him a warm embrace, and he eventually felt Pent's little hands reach up and curl around his neck, hugging him back. The red fox stood and carried the boy with him as they left the room, and Pent didn't argue. He sometimes missed being carried like this, so for his brother to do it now when he was at his lowest was actually incredibly soothing.

Kotaro carried his tiny brother downstairs and set him down on the table in the small kitchen they shared. They parted from the hug and the older fox grabbed a tissue from the counter, gently wiping underneath the cub's eyes.

"You don't have to talk about it now," He began as Pent kept his gaze firmly locked down to his fidgeting hands. "But, when you're ready, okay?"

Slowly, the arctic fox nodded, and Kotaro tickled his chin in appreciation. That brought a brief, faint smile to Pent's lips, and the red fox quickly moved to the counter. He scooped up a plate filled with chicken nuggets and chips, and set it on the table.

"Come on, eat up," He began. "Then we'll have ice cream and watch a movie. Just you and me, okay?"

Pent, for a moment, was unsure if he was even up for it, but he slowly nodded. Kotaro always had a way of making him feel a little better, and he was thankful for that. He ate his food in silence as Kotaro washed up the dishes, having already gotten something to eat himself.

Pent polished off his food, famished from the brief lunch he'd have with Archie, and Kotaro popped a tub of cookie dought ice-cream in fromt of him.

"...The whole tub?" Pent quietly asked, looking up at Kotaro with a slightly teary-eyed confusion, and the red fox smirked in response.

"No, silly. We're sharing." He held up two spoons, and the small cub smiled briefly in response. They adjourned to the living room: no talk of chores, or homework, or even what was upsetting the cub. They simply sat on the couch, entangled with each other under a fluffy blanket, and they dug into the ice-cream together. Kotaro had put on a silly cartoon movie, full of jokes and action and drama, and the film lightened Pent's mood.

The red fox pulled Pent up closer as he watched the fox get a little drowsy after the film was finished. He looked down at him, running his large fingers through the small tufts of fur atop Pent's head.

"Tired?" He asked, and it elicitied a firm shake of Pent's head in response. "Alright, another movie then."

Pent often never managed to get past the second movie, and as predicted, he was asleep within half an hour, curled up against his brother's warm body, snuggled underneath blankets. Kotaro sighed and gently stroked his younger brother's ears as he slept, letting him sleep for as long as he wished.

It was a good thing, too: he had school in the morning, and Pent slept right through until 7am the next day, where Kotaro shook him awake. Of course, Pent found himself in his bed, undressed and in his pyjamas. Kotaro had changed him in his sleep, which was just about on the borderline of being alright for his age. He clambered out of bed and groggily got dressed.

After the events of yesterday, he was still upset, but he certainly had a lot more to look forward to now. Whilst he was still stung over the idea of not being able to see Archie after school, he was going to get to see him at school, at the very least. He was looking forward to being able to hug him again.

He checked his timetable as he got changed into a fresh uniform, and soon realised that today wouldn't be as good as he had hoped. He had more lessons today without Archie than he had with him, the only available 2 lessons being just before lunch. The rest of them were on his own, and he had a feeling that he wouldn't see Archie at the end of school either, if his mother was going to keep a close eye on him.

Pent moved down the stairs and around to the kitchen, where his brother was already dishing up breakfast in the form of bacon and fried toast. He set in front of the boy, who nibbled at it as he mulled over how he could help Archie out of this mess they'd gotten themselves in.

"Something on your mind?" Kotaro asked, and Pent briefly looked up at him. He could see his brother's knowing gaze over the rim of the coffee cup he was holding. The cub lowered his gaze.

"...You already know, don't you?" He asked, and Kotaro sighed, moving towards the table. He slid into a seat and set the mug down.

"Yep," He began. "Archie's mother informed me."

"Are you mad?" Pent asked cautiously, wondering whether his brother would have the same opinion.

"Of course not. Why would I? You like who you like, Pent. Nothing can change that." Kotaro smiled, and he saw Pent look visibly better about the situation.

"Does that mean I can bring Archie here after school?" He asked, hoping it might mean he and his boyfriend have a place to hang out, where they wont be judged or told what to do.

"Well...no," Kotaro began, and put up a finger when he saw Pent's face fall. "Not because I don't want you to. But Archie's mother's told me to send Archie home if he comes here. I can't do anything about it."

"Why not?" Pent grimaced, sniffling a little.

"Because, Pent," Kotaro put a hand on his shoulder, looking decidedly apologetic. "It's illegal. His mother has the right to want him home if she wants. I have to respect her wishes as his parent."

Pent lowered his gaze and sighed, chewing away at his fried bread. Just when he thought there might be some hope, they were dashed rather quickly.

"I want to help, Pent," Kotaro began, feeling sorry for his brother. "Give me a few days. I'll try and talk to Archie's mother, see if I can try and sort things out. Okay?"

Pent trusted his brother to do the right thing in this circumstance, especially if Kotaro already knew the whole story, and was on his side. He was certain he could get Archie's mother to lay off.

"Okay. Thanks, Kotaro." Pent leant forwards, and his brother pulled him into a big hug, stroking along his back as Pent pushed his snout down into the crease between Kotaro's neck and shoulder. He took in his familiar, masculine scent. It always calmed him down.

"Okay," The red fox pulled back with a big grin on his face. "Off you go, then. You'll be late for school."

He winked knowingly, and Pent looked a little sheepish as he hopped off his chair and pulled on his shoes, slinging his coat on and scooping up his shoulder bag. He waved farewell to his brother, and then headed off down the road, shutting the door behind him.

He was in a decidedly better mood now that he'd had a talk with his brother, who was more than helpful in making him feel better. He headed off down the road in the hopes that Archie might be as excited to see him as he was.

As he stepped towards the school, he couldn't see Archie waiting out front, and with a frown, he stepped into the well-lit foyer. It was packed with students who waited patiently for the bell to ring to signify their standard home-room schedule.

Eventually, Pent saw him, and waved over. He saw Archie light up upon seeing him, and the two of them met up just in front of the hallway doors, where they'd have to go to their lockers to retrieve their things.

"I missed you." He whispered down to the arctic fox, and Pent lit up in response. They went into the slightly less crowded hallway and towards Archie's locker, where they lingered for a little while, lost in conversation.

"So my brother said he'd try and talk to your mom," Pent eventually said, hoping it might ligthen to mood. "If we're lucky, it might all smooth over."

"I'm not sure about that," Archie said, sounding a little dejected. "My mom was furious when you left. It was horrible."

Archie shuddered a little as he stowed his books for the day in his bad, and Pent grimaced on his behalf, feeling bad for him. He glanced around and snuck in a little closer, hoping no-one would see.

"At least we have this time, now, before classes, and lunch, and stuff..." Pent assured him, and he watched Archie smiled a little. His hand reached up and Pent caught it in his own. The arctic fox squeezed the canine's hand in encouragement, but in all honesty, they were both worried for the future. Pent was just better at putting on a brave face.

"At lunch," Archie began. "We should...you know."

He sneakily grinned, and Pent felt colour rise to his cheeks. He knew immediately what Archie was on about, of course, and the thought of it made him a little embarrassed. He glanced left and right, hoping no-one might be watching him get flustered.

"You could say I'm a little... 'pent up'," Archie joked with him, and Pent couldn't help but snort. "What? It was a good pun."

"Save it for your stand-up tour." Pent teased in response, a big grin on his face, before it settled into a small, sheepish smile.

"...Okay. Lunch time, then." Pent looked embarrassed, but happily agreed. Archie appeared rather pleased, and he quickly leant forn, giving the cub a peck on the forehead before anyone could notice.

They heard the bell ring out, and quickly made their way to Pent's locker, before heading off to home-room. If they had dawdled any longer, they would have gotten into trouble. Both of them were thankful enough that they were smart not to get up to anything lewd during classes. If someone had caught them, the situation might have gone a whole lot worse than it already had.

They sat down next to one-another in the classroom as their tutor took the register, making sure everyone was present. With that, they had a spare 10 minutes to talk, so the two cubs got into a conversation about their classes.

"We have English and Maths together after break time." Pent assured Archie, who grinned down at him with a teasing, knowing smile.

"I don't know if I can wait until lunch time." He admitted, and Pent looked embarrassed again. The arctic fox lowered his gaze, and Archie chuckled a little.

"You're cute when you blush." The canine teased, and the fox gave him an exasperated snort in response.

With that, they had to part, and both of them were going to miss one-another for the 2 hours they had apart. It was bad enough that school was the only time that they could be together now, and it was made worse than they couldn't spend the entirety of school time joined at the hip. They went their separate ways, for now.

Both of them attempted to keep up a facade of working, so that they might not worsen the situation with Archie's mother. If their grades slipped, she might surely blame it on their relationship, which could make it a whole lot worse. So, despite the painful tugging in their chests, they tried their best to remain motivated and determined to work. Pent managed it well enough, but Archie was struggling a little, often lost in thought and a little behind on his work during his lessons. He didn't get much blame or scolding for it, but the teachers were beginning to notice they weren't doing as well.

Thankfully, none of the other students in their year had picked up on them yet, which must have ment they were doing something right. Neither of them had many friends outside of one-another, but they had a few acquaintences, who didn't seem to notice the slightly brooding change in their behaviour, for now.

The two lessons went by slowly, and both of them felt like they were crawling as a snails pace. Thankfully, they were eventually over, and they knew it was break time. As Pent made his way to the foyer, he felt a hand pull him by the arm to the right-hand side.

At first, he stumbled, but eventually caught his foot and leant against the person holding him. He looked up, and realised it was Archie, who had a particlarly cheeky look on his face. Pent glanced around and realised they were in the stairwell yet again, as they had been yesterday. A couple of students were making their way down the steps.

"Archie..?" Pent whispered to him, a little bewildered. "Shouldn't we get a snack?"

"I thought this would be an ideal place to hang out and get some privacy." Archie countered with a grin, and Pent eventually realised that it was sound logic. The canine lead his little boyfriend back underneath the stairs once the students had left, and they were, for a time, hidden away from society. They sat, cross-legged, and Pent chewed on a chocolate bar, enjoying the snack.

They sat there in silence for a moment, before Archie began making his move. He slipped a hand around Pent's side as the fox turned towards him for a moment, rather surprised.

"What are we gonna do?" He asked quietly with a small giggle, and Archie manhandled him a little bit, shifting him around. He nudged and coaxed Pent onto his front against the cold, laminated floor, and Archie clambered on top of him.

"You do nothing," Archie giggled. "Just eat your food. I'm going to take you to heaven."

Pent particularly liked the sound of it, but he couldn't help but giggle from how cheesy it was. He felt his trousers being tugged and pulled, and he didn't argue: he was too caught up in the love for his boyfriend to care. He settled himself down, chewing on his chocolate bar as he felt something wet and warm sliding up against his rump.

"Are you already...?" Pent began, and he heard a small grunt in response. The slick, warm feeling slid up and down his rump, and he could feel himself getting a little sticky. He suddenly felt the weight of Archie on top of him as the cub brought around a tiny tube.

"I packed provisions," He joked, holding up the small bottle, which was now empty. "Now...hold still."

Slowly, Archie angled himself and pressed his appendage down into Pent's rump, sliding his cock around the lube until he eventually found what he was looking for. He gently pushed his member into Pent's ass, and the fox's tight ring clamped down against his member, squeezing and flexing. They had done this multiple times, but never with such a risk of getting caught.

"Someone might see us." Pent warned, seeing multiple students wander back and forth between the stairwell as he peered out.

"Then keep quiet." Archie giggled, slowly sliding himself in until his knot bumped with Pent's furred rump. He gently brung his hips back, before he thrust into him, filling the hair with the wet, slick sounds of his cock sliding in, and the sharp exhale that came from his lover.

Archie slowly began into a steady rhythm of humping that quickly began to speed up. His breathing grew ragged as the sickly, sweet pleasure made his nerve endings tingle and his cock pulse inside the tight hole. Pent lowered his head down, having finished his snack, and pressed his mouth into his arms. His little moans came out muffled and quiet as Archie thrust down into him, leaving their lewd, passionate sex to sound muted and quiet.

Archie eventually leant down and gave into his instincts. He pressed his body into Pent's back, and wrapped his arms around him as his thrusts turned from long, slow humps into sharp, powerful thrusts. He had impressive stamina for a 12 year old, and it showed in his powerful humping, his balls smacking down into the slick, lubed-up fur and skin.

As they humped, they heard the stairwell door creak open, and Archie froze, remaining deathly quiet. Two girls talked amongst themselves as they made their way up the stairs, and the two cubs held their breath, in the hopes that they might not hear them. When they were eventually out of earshot, Archie began thrusting again.

Pent's toes curled in his shoes as his little member twitched and throbbed inside his own underwear. It was only the back that had been pulled down, leaving the majority of his body covered in clothes. Archie had attempted to be discreet himself, with only the zip undone on his shoulders, with which the cock was poking out.

"Almost..." Archie whispered admist sharp, despreate grunts and huffs of pleasure, his thrusts slowing down, but increasing in power. He thrust with force as his knot rammed up against Pent's backside, making the fox tense up a little amongst the assault. He eventually loosened a little, and Archie gave him a number of appreciative licks along his neck. The canine humped down hard into him again, and he felt the hole give way, allowing his knot to pop inside.

They were tired now, and there was no stopping it. Pent let out a quiet whimper as Archie sighed in pure bliss, settling down atop his lover as his cock began to pump and spew tiny strings of cum into his lover's rump, over and over. It lasted for a while, the pent-up little canine orgasming for a number of minutes as he cuddled down into his fox lover, firmly embedded deep into him.

"Mmmh...I love you, Pent," Archie mumbled, and Pent let out a small huff in response.

"I love you too," The arctic fox began. "But now we're stuck."

"...Oh." Archie frowned, and looked a little worried. Thankfully, the bell hadn't gone yet, but it might ring out at any time. The canine pulled out his phone, checking the time.

"We have about 10 minutes." He assured his boyfriend. "Should be plenty of time."

"I thought you said it took half an hour to deflate?" Pent asked cautiously.

"I remain optimistic." Archie countered, and after a brief pause, the two of them began to giggle.

They waited 10 minutes, unsure whether Archie was right. They teetered on the hope that it might be able to be pulled out in time for their next lesson, but it remained firmly stuck even after 5 minutes had passed. They had to remain silent as well, as a few students were beginning to move back and forth.

"It's been 10 minutes," Pent eventually said after a while, and sure enough, the bell rang out. Students began moving out in droves through the hallway and up the steps, which meant their moving and grunting were quitened by the low din of murmuring students.

"It's not coming out." Archie said, sounding a little panicked as he pulled his hips back, over and over. "Loosen up a little."

"I'm trying." Pent assured him, but the knot remained firmly stuck, still. To make matter's worse, the gently tugging of Archie's knot and sending spikes of pleasure through his body, already stirring another orgasm within him, which would no doubt come to fruitition shortly.

"Hurry, we'll be late." Pent urged, and Archie was trying his best, sliding his hips back and forth as he tried to coax and tug the knot from it's hiding place.

"I'm trying, but...Nnh..." Archie let out a small groan of pleasure and Pent frowned a little, knowing he was getting off on it. Admittedly, so was he: he'd been hard for the past 10 minutes, and it hadn't gone away yet.

Slowly, Archie tugged pent onto his knees in the hopes he might be able to dislodge his knot in a different position. He tugged his knot backwards, but it remained stuck inside the tight hole. Pent's twitching member had caused a significent damp spot in the front of his trousers, and the pleasure was beginning to build up within him.

"I think I can...I can feel it...!" Archie urged, trying to keep quiet amongst the wandering students as his knot squirmed and moved inside of his lover. Pent winced a little bit and bit his lip, his breathing growing more and more shallow.

"A-Archie, I...!" He began, before it was too late. His little cock spasmed in unison with his tight hole, that clamped and squeezed around the bulbous knot. Small globules of cum spurted into Pent's underwear, that dripped through the fabric and onto the floor below. He practically coated the inside of his boxers, and a tiny portion of the floor admist his climax.

The sudden squeezed around his knot suddenly sent Archie over the edge for a second time, and a sharp exhale escaped his mouth as he spurted another number of strings into Pent's behind, adding to the already decent amoung of semen inside him. He could feel his knot inflating a little bit again, and he knew he was stuck more than before.

After a few moments, their orgasm died down, as did the throng of students. Lessons had started, and they were absent, locked in post-coitus tying underneath the stairwell. Eventually, someone would come looking for him, and both of them hoped to god they wouldn't think to look under here.

After another 10 minutes of attempting to tug the knot back out, it finally gave way with an audible 'pop'. Archie let out a long sigh of relief, and Pent flopped down, equally as thankful.

"We're so late..." He groaned, dreading what their teachers might do if they found them. He quickly pulled his clothes back up, and Archie tucked his member away as they headed out into the hallway. With no teachers in sight, they parted ways, and attended the same class separately.

Thankfully, when they were asked as to why they were late, Archie made the excuse that he'd ruined his sweater and had to change. Pent made the excuse that he was at the bathroom and was a little unwell. The teacher thankfully passed both of them off as decent excuses, and neither of them got in trouble for it. The students had a collection of skeptical or uncaring looks.

They sat next to one-another in the class and giggled amongst themselves as they worked amongst the other students. Whilst it might have made them panic a little, it was particularly thrilling. They whispered about it a few times before they thought it better to discuss it another time.

The next two lessons went by without much issue. They had been late for English, but had caught up with the work fairly easily. Maths had, as always, been easy, and they were on time for that one. Lunch soon came around the corner, and both of them quietly agreed it might have been better not to go around and do what they had just done for a second time. They thoughtfully chewed their food and mulled over the day's events, as well as the future.

"I hope your brother works something out with my mom." Archie muttered, and Pent nodded in agreement with an apologetic expression. It was hard for the both of them, but Pent's brother might make it slightly easier for them.

They ate with fragmented speech and eventually, and unfortunately, they had one final lesson of the day that they didn't have together. As they stood, Pent appeared hopeful that he might see Archie before the end of the day.

"...My mom's picking me up today." Archie eventually said as they walked towards the hallway, gathering their things from their lockers. Pent's face fell at that, and he lowered his gaze.

"So I wont see you after class." He mumbled, feeling dejected, and Archie reached forwards to squeeze his hand.

"I'm sorry," The canine eventually replied, unsure what else to say. "I'll, um...I'll see you later."

They parted ways on a bad note, and Archie headed down the hall to class at Pent stood there, suddenly envoloped with a throng of students that moved around him to get to their own studies. Pent was like a statue, unmoving for a considerable amount of time before he eventually moved, noticing he was one of the few people left in the hall.

The lesson ticked by like a snail, and he was lost on what to do. He wouldn't see Archie for a while: it was coming up to the weekend soon, and they wouldn't even be able to hang out. He wasn't sure if he was going to cope very well with that.

As he stepped out of his final class after what felt like hours, he felt a buzzing in his pocket. He'd recieved a text message from his brother, and it essentially details that they all had to meet up for a talk, and that he was to join Archie and go to his house. Kotaro would meet them there.

As Pent made his way through the foyer, Archie met him in the middle with a bewildered expression. He must have gotten the same text.

"We're all meeting up, apparently." Archie mumbled, and Pent nodded, feeling a worrying, nervous feeling in his stomach. They moved towards the exit and headed out into the crisp air. His mother's car was sitting at the path, and they stepped into it, shutting the door behind them.

"Hey mom." Archie spoke quietly, and they could see his mother's unhappy face from the driver's seat. She didn't even respond, and the car pulled out to head down the road. They clipped in their seatbelts and kept their heads down, fearful about touching one-another.

They were at Archie's house moments later, and Pent spotted his brother's cherry red car parked on the side of the road, giving room for Archie's mother to park in the driveway. He stepped out as they approached, and the two cubs got out of the car and out of the tense atmosphere, for the moment. Both of them looked worried, but Kotaro held a calming air of serenity.

"Rachel. Good to see you." He held out a hand for her to shake, and despite her attitude, Archie's mother shook it in response, though she said nothing. They moved towards the door and she let them inside.

"Tea?" She asked curtly, but Kotaro wasn't phased.

"Milk, 2 sugars, if you don't mind," He replied calmly. "Come on, you two. Into the living room."

Whilst Archie's mother went into the kitchen, Kotaro ushered to two cubs through into the living room to get comfortable. They slung off their bags and coats, setting them aside as they sat next to one-another on the couch.

After a moment of silence, Archie's mother appeared with two cups of tea in her hands. She set one on the small coffee table for the red fox, and then took a seat herself in the large armchair that said parpendicular to the couch itself.

"Now that we're all here, the conversation can flow a little easier." Kotaro began, and noticed that Archie's Mother wasn't particularly impressed. Her snout was wrinkled up a little and she was more focused on her tea than the discussion at hand.

"...Why don't you start, Rachel?" Kotaro suggested, and saw her perk up. "We'll go around the room, and tell each other what we're feeling right now."

Pent knew his brother was pretty good at solving conflicts, but he didn't realise he was this good at it. He wondered where he got the experience from. Archie's mother shifted in her seat for a moment, unsure what to say.

"Well..." She began, sipping some of her tea with a frown. "I feel...betrayed."

"It's not like I've signed myself over to the terrorists, mom." Archie countered, and Kotaro shushed him. His mother looked crestfallen.

"You've hidden this from me," She began, sounding a bit hurt, and Archie shrank away. "And what you're doing is just so...so unnatural."

Pent's jaw hardened at the response, and Kotaro quickly noticed that his little brother didn't look pleased.

"Let's try and avoid comments like that," Kotaro suggested quickly. "We should foster a more progressive atmosphere."

"They're only 12," Rachel began, as if what she said wasn't wrong, or offensive. "They don't know what they want."

"Not strictly true, Rachel," Kotaro countered, keeping a level head. "We all know that kids are maturing a lot younger nowadays."

"Still," She brushed off his statement. "It's not right. Their education should be more important."

"And in the last month, their grades haven't fallen." Kotaro countered again with ease, and Rachel faltered a little, sipping more of her tea. She was cracking under the pressure a little.

"All I'm saying," She began. "Is that I feel a little hurt. Archie, you should have been able to come to be about this, not go behind my back. You lied to my face, you've done...god knows what with this boy."

"I have a name." Pent mumbled under his breath, and both cubs were looking sullen, as if they'd been told off for having too many sweets. Kotaro pitied the pair of them.

"Personally, Rachel," Kotaro began. "I don't think you're in any position to dictate what your son does and doesn't want. I'm not trying to tell you how to be a parent, but--"

"No, that is what you're saying," Rachel stiffened her back a little, her temper flaring. "Perhaps you're right, in a way, but he's not at the age where he should be in a relationship, especially with someone of the same sex."

"But I love him." Archie blurted out, sitting upright in his seat. The room went deathly silent, and Pent shrank in his seat a little, feeling the colour rise to his cheeks. He began goofily grinning, and he couldn't stop himself from doing so. His mother looked from him, to the two vulpines, and back again.

"You're too young to know what love is." She eventually managed to say, and Archie let out a sharp 'tch' in response.

"I'm mature, mom," He growled out. "Some kids my age already have kids, or worse. Just because I have a boyfriend doesn't mean I'm going to do drugs or get kidnapped."

"No, it doesn't, but you're only 12! You've got 6 years until you're an adult. That's half of your current life, right there!" She responded, and he rolled his eyes at her. Her lips drew into a line again at his attitude.

"Yeah, and I could also move out in 4 years, if I wanted to," He reminded her, and she paled a little. "Mom. I love Pent, and I want to be with him. I want it to last. If you can't accept who I like and what I want to do then...I can't be your son."

Archie was dishing out ultimatums left, right, and center, and the room fell into a quiet air of shock and worry. Even Kotaro looked a little worried, especially for his own little brother. He dreaded the thought of them disappearing at 16 and living in squalor, all for the sake of love. Even then, there was a line.

"I...well..." Rachel wasn't sure what to say to that, lost for words. She slowly set her cup down.

"I..." She began again, her brain churning. "...Okay. I'll allow this, for now, but...I want more transparency. And you're not sharing a bed anymore."

The cubs looked embarrassed, but grateful at the same time. They were enjoying the opportunity of being able to, well, be with one-another again, even if their time was limited, and they would have to bend to her rules. It was better than nothing.

"I assume you're going to enforce this rule, too?" Rachel looked to Kotaro, who nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly. Out of view, he gave the cubs a wink, which gave them an even greater feeling of elation. Their hands clasped together and squeezed, and they gave each other a hug. Rachel apparently struggled to watch, adjourning to the kitchen for a moment.

"See?" Kotaro smiled at the two of them. "Told you it would work out."

"Can we go to my house, then?" Pent grinned, and realised he might have been a little cheeky. Kotaro smirked in response.

"No." He said to him. "You'll need to, well...plan to go both places equally, or else she'll get the impression I'm letting you do what you want. Which, I will, but...we need to keep up the illusion, for now."

"Got it." Both of the cubs said in response. They clasped each other happily, pressing their noses against one-another.

Things were going to be okay.
