Chapter Eighteen
#1 of The Roommate
After lunch, Oscuro sought Xaver out, knowing he was probably alone at his desk. Xaver didn't look very busy and Oscuro went ahead and walked up to his desk, being straightforward about it instead of his usual sneakiness approach.
"Xaver." He didn't say anymore and set a plastic bag on top of the desk.
"Huh?" Confused, Xaver first looked at the bag, then at Oscuro. "What are you doing, Oscuro?"
"Just open the bag."
"I don't think I should. Is this a trap?"
Oscuro sighed and opened the bag himself. "I'm just trying to be nice." He pulled out a calendar and set it down on the desk in front of Xaver, then patted the other on the shoulder. "It isn't much, but I thought this would make you feel better. You can cross off all the days that have gone by, and every time you cross something off, the amount of days you have left will get smaller. I went out and bought it during lunch break."
Xaver stared at his gift in surprise. "Wow, thanks. You didn't need to do that."
"Well I wanted to. I'm sick of tormenting you and want you to be happier already."
"I'm sure this will help," Xaver said sincerely. "But why does the calendar have pictures of cats on it?"
Oscuro smiled. "I just think you're going to end up as an eccentric old person with a hundred cats."
Xaver heaved a sigh and knew he should have figured that Oscuro's kindness didn't come without a price. "Well, thank you anyway, even if you did manage to annoy me a little bit." He set the calendar aside. "You can go away now. Just because I slept with you doesn't mean I'm going to constantly spend quality time with you now."
"See you later then." Unaffected by Xaver's mood, Oscuro walked away.
As soon as the buck was gone, Xaver tore off the calendar's plastic wrapping and flipped the pages until he reached the right month. Despite his slight attitude, he was actually glad to have the object and began eagerly marking off days with a pen.
Ten days. He had already been living with Oscuro for ten days, but that meant there were twenty days left. He still had a long way to go, though he had made progress. He was a third of the way done, which was close to half.
He found that he had forgotten all about his first few days in Oscuro's home and how he had passionately detested the cervine. If only Oscuro had decided to be nice in the first place, Xaver's life could have been so much easier back then. Of course, if Oscuro had intended on treating him kindly, Hiro would have never forced the two of them to live together in the first place.
Xaver couldn't stay mad at Oscuro, no matter how terrible he had been in the past. Just twenty more days, and then he would be free.

Bel had eaten his lunch alone that day, declining the invitation that Kyle had offered, and sat at his desk alone. He preferred not to socialize that day, still full of confusion over Kyle and Hiro. He wished he had never met either, or that Hiro and Kyle got along with each other. It would be much easier if he didn't have to decide between the two and could just work something out with them both.
"Ow!" He got a paper cut on his finger. It was deep and the cut turned bright red with small drops of blood welling up on it. Bel had never received such a deep paper cut before and he needed to find some water to wash it out.
He hated to leave his work area when he was supposed to be on the job, but he wanted to take care of himself. It wouldn't do him any good to touch his work and get blood on it.
Bel got up and searched for the drinking fountain that was located nearby. On the way there he saw a short, blonde-headed canine talking to an employee and suddenly felt strange. He hadn't seen Hiro all day, making Saturday morning the last time he ever spoke to him.
Hiro looked very attractive that day, wearing a tie that appeared to be new, or perhaps it was merely one that Bel hadn't seen yet. Bel had always found the canine attractive, but that day he found he had a hard time taking his eyes off of him.
The short dog finished speaking to the worker and Bel crept over to him, not quite sure what he was doing. He reached out and gently touched Hiro on the shoulder.
"Huh?" Hiro turned around and looked surprised to see who had caught his attention. "Oh. Hi, Bel. I've been wondering about you ever since you left me on Saturday. You never really gave me a good opinion of our time together."
Now that Bel had initiated conversation with the other man, he had no idea what to say. "Sorry, Hiro."
"Sorry? For what?"
"I don't think I'm a very good person right now. I gave myself to you, and then the very next day I went to Kyle..." He couldn't finish his sentence.
Hiro rescued him. "I already know about that thanks to Kyle. I don't think you're a slut or anything, Bel. You're just confused." The urge to touch the pretty brown rabbit was tempting, but he resisted. "I should go back to my office now. I'm sure Kyle is missing you."
"Oh. All right then."
Hiro walked away and Bel watched him with a feeling of disappointment. He had expected Hiro to back him into a secluded corner and wildly make out with him like he had on previous occasions, but instead the other appeared disinterested. Perhaps Bel meant nothing to him after all and Kyle was right about him.
He supposed he would be sad though if Hiro passed out of his life. Hiro had made an impression on him and had been the first one to teach him about physical pleasure. Too much had happened for everything to suddenly end, but Hiro would do as he pleased and Bel wouldn't stop him.
Bel went back to his desk and tried not to let his thoughts drift to anything relating to sexual activity with a short canine who regularly gave him his paycheck.
"Hiro, I've been touching myself every night, thinking about you..."
Hiro heard a voice murmuring in his ear and felt an arm snake around his body. "Kyle, is that you?"
Kyle pressed himself up against Hiro and gently breathed onto the smaller canine's neck. "Ky wants to please his master." He reached over to undo one of the buttons on Hiro's shirt.
Hiro raised an eyebrow and tried not to feel aroused at being touched. "Kyle, is there any reason why you're behaving like a complete idiot? Who the hell really talks like that anyway?"
Kyle pulled away and displayed the pout that could usually win anyone over. "Fine then. I was going to do something nice for you, but I guess you don't want it."
Curious, Hiro took the other wolf's paw and pulled him back in close. "No, wait. I want to know what this is about."
The tall lupine grinned with a wag of his large tail. "You said you miss my sexual favors. I decided I'm going to be a nice person and start pleasing you again."
"Thanks, Kyle. So is our fight officially over now?"
Kyle's smile went wider. "But I'm only doing it for a price. If you do me a couple of favors, I'll give you favors in exchange."
Hiro immediately distrusted the other canine upon hearing those words. "I thought you were just a little too eager to do this. What do you want me to do?"
"First of all, you can't have sex with Bel anymore. You won't be needing him anyway if you've got me. The second thing you have to do is help me get seriously hooked up with Bel. I want him to fall in love with me!"
Hiro stared up at the secretary. "I think you're fucking crazy."
"Then I guess no more blowjobs for you!"
The short retriever sighed. "You're really desperate for Bel then, aren't you? I don't know how I can possibly help you, but I suppose I'll try."
"Unlike you, I care about Bel a lot," Kyle said. "I've never felt so strongly attached to one person before, not even you. You're Bel's boss and he'll do whatever you say, so just try to convince him that I'm the right person for him."
The idea sounded terrible to Hiro and he felt like doing the opposite instead, but the thought of no sex as a penalty was also unpleasant. "I'll do what I can, Kyle, but don't expect yourself to be married to Bel within a week."
"That's all right!" the other man said brightly. "Just try your best!" He leaned down and kissed Hiro lightly and quickly, teasing and unsatisfying. "Now get to work."
"I'm the boss. That's my line."
"But I'm the one with the fuckable body that's waiting for your cock. Now go."
Hiro couldn't argue with that logic and began walking in the direction opposite of the one he originally planned on taking. There was nothing to do in his office and he needed something interesting to liven up the day.
Bel was at his desk, busily working as usual. He heard someone approach but didn't pay mind to it until he could feel the person's presence right beside him. He was surprised to see Hiro standing there. Had the other changed his mind and decided to take him away to his office or car for half an hour? Damn it, Bel was ashamed of himself for thinking such thoughts.
"How are you doing, Bel?" Hiro asked rather awkwardly. He had no idea what exactly Kyle wanted him to say.
"I'm good," Bel replied quietly. He looked down at his desk and wished his pulse would slow down.
Hiro grabbed a chair. "I know you're trying to work, but mind if I sit here? It's been a tough day and I need to be around someone nice and calm."
Bel shook his head. "I don't mind at all." Hiro was being strangely kind and polite and he wondered what the others motives were.
Hiro sat down beside Bel, his mind busily thinking the entire time. "You can keep working if you want to. I'll just sit and relax."
"You don't want to talk or anything?" Bel asked.
"We could do that too." Hiro chose to drop the politeness approach and get right to the point. "You know, you and Kyle have got a nice little friendship going on. The two of you look good together."
"We do?"
"Yeah. And Kyle really likes you. I think he might be in love with you, actually. He's a very nice guy and you would be crazy to say no to him."
Bel thought that information over. "So Ky really cares then."
Hiro wanted to go to the bathroom and wash his mouth out as soon as the conversation was over. "I don't think he'll ever give up until you finally give in to him, Bel. You ought to invite him over to your home sometime and show him how much you appreciate him." That sentence nearly made him gag, but he kept a straight face.
"I guess I should..." Bel said slowly. "He's done so much for me and I have to admit that I am starting to become attracted to him." Bel preferred to ask few questions, but a sudden curiosity tugged at him. He studied the canine beside him. "But why are you telling me all of this, Hiro?"
Shit. Hiro was afraid that question would pop up. He shrugged indifferently. "I just want you to be happy. I was glad to give you a good time, but I don't think I'm the right person for you and Kyle will give you a good life."
Once again, Bel felt a pang of disappointment that he didn't understand. "Oh. Well thank you, Hiro."
"No problem," Hiro said tonelessly. Inside he felt the opposite, but he didn't show it. "I'll leave you to get your work done now." He got up and scowled down at the ground as soon as his back was to Bel. What had possessed him to listen to Kyle? The tall lupine had always been good at seducing him, no matter what the circumstances.
He wasn't annoyed because he had feelings for Bel. Bel was very kind and pretty and had been enjoyable in the bedroom, but Hiro wasn't interested in a serious relationship with him.
He supposed his fight with Kyle wasn't entirely over after all. Kyle had lost the contest, but he was managing to get his way in everything else. And his little rules were stupid. Hiro was the winner and therefore should be allowed to have sex with Bel if he felt like it.
"Oh good, Hiro! You're exactly who I wanted to see!"
Hiro wondered how whenever he wanted some peace and alone time, Kyle always showed up. He looked unhappily at the wolf as he approached. "What do you want?"
"What do you think I want?" said Kyle. "How are things going with Bel?"
"They're going good, for you at least." Hiro related his conversation with Bel, doing so as grumpily as he could so that Kyle would know he disliked the task.
Kyle was unaffected by the shorter canine's mood. "You did better than I thought you would! Do you really think Bel will invite me to his place soon?"
"I don't know. Could you leave me and be happy somewhere else now?"
"But I have to give you your reward!"
"Reward?"
Kyle grinned in the enticing way that had always manipulated Hiro in the past. "Every time you help me, I have to pay you back. What do you want to do with me in your office today, Hiro? Your choice."
Hiro suddenly forgot his irritation. "Blow job," he decided after thinking it over for a moment. "I haven't had one in such a long time."
"Okay!" Kyle cheerfully took Hiro by the paw and led the way to the boss's office. "I guess I'm not mad at you anymore, Hiro. How can I be when you're the sexiest man alive?"
Hiro locked the office door and undid his pants. Once his cock was exposed, Kyle kneeled down in front of him on the floor. Kyle reached up and wrapped his paw around Hiro's length, gently rubbing it to get it hard. Hiro soon grew erect and resisted against the others fingers.
"Thanks for telling Bel about me today," said Kyle. He pulled his paw away and leaned his face down to press his maw to Hiro's hardness. His tongue came out and gave a long lick, triggering a spark of arousal within Hiro's body.
"Ky..." Hiro murmured, letting slip the nickname he reserved for intimate moments with his employee. He felt Kyle's lips around the tip of his cock, drawing on him and sucking hard, and he fought to keep still.
Kyle swallowed more of Hiro's length until he had consumed nearly the whole organ. Despite his deep attraction to Bel, he still enjoyed being submissive and sucked as well as he could.
Hiro always enjoyed blowjobs, but they were especially fun with Kyle. The tall lupine was beneath him for once and Hiro felt superior. It felt so good that he moaned and stroked Kyle's ears fondly. "I want to hit the back of your throat," he said. "I promise I won't choke you."
Kyle nodded, silently giving his consent. Hiro moved his hips forward, pushing inside the others maw until he reached the very back and couldn't go any further.
Kyle gasped, relaxing his oral hold. He managed to regain control once Hiro's thrusts lessened and he pulled his head back until the others cock was only partially in his muzzle. Hiro couldn't last any longer and came, spraying into Kyle's maw and on his face. Feeling drained, he stood there and got his breath back looking beautiful and satisfied.
The tall wolf remained kneeling and swallowed several times. "How was it, Hiro?"
"Wonderful, as always. You could make a living sucking people off." Hiro grabbed a tissue from out of the box on his desk and wiped Kyle's face up. "I don't really understand how the hell we started fighting, but it doesn't matter now. I don't ever want to lose my sex toy again."
"You can't compare to any of the other men around here," said Kyle. "You certainly know how to make up for your shortness."
"You tall people are just jealous," Hiro responded. He glanced at his watch. "This is still work time, so get back to your desk now before I get in trouble for being a negligent boss."
Kyle stood up and made sure there was no evidence of their sexual activity. "See you later, Hiro. Remember, I'll keep pleasing you if you keep working towards hooking me up with Bel." He was soon out the door, leaving Hiro alone.
Hiro's mood had improved considerably and his bitter feelings were gone. He didn't need Bel at all. Kyle was willing to give him a good time and was a more exciting person anyway.
The drama with Kyle and Bel was over. Now Hiro only had to see what would happen with Xaver and Oscuro.
