Leo's Life - Chapter 4

Story by Leo Husky on SoFurry

, , , , , ,

Leo wraps on a job and heads off with Nate.


"And cut! That's a wrap everyone, great work today." The director shouted from the other room. He was sitting in a chair staring into a monitor. He looked up at his actor, Leo, who was standing behind the kitchen island. Lights stood on stands creating the light for the room, the camera stood on a dolly which rested on a track, and cables covered the floor. There were nearly fifteen people crammed into the kitchen and living room of someone's house.

The kitchen was all white and gray; white cabinets, gray counters, white backsplash, everything looked bland. Leo wore gray and white tones as well making the items on the island in front of him pop even more. Brightly colored peppers, broccoli, lemons, and various other brightly colored produce were placed in a specific manner. Leo and the crew were shooting a commercial for a big chain store who revamped their produce section. The goal was to advertise the freshness of their vegetables.

"Leo." The director said his name extending the sound of the 'O'. He approached Leo clapping his paws together as if he were congratulating the actor. His voice was somewhat deep and raspy, even for a 50 year old. "You did great kid."

"Thanks." Leo responded. His voice may have said 'thank you' while his face and his thoughts were incredibly upset and mad all at the same time. This was his third commercial job in the past few weeks and he was more than done with them. He felt like he should have gotten some traction by now, something in a TV show or a movie.

"Hey, buck up kid. I know this aint what you want to be doing but, you're big break is just around the corner. You're fantastic to work with and their aint no one in this town who has as much determination and dignity as you." He comforted the husky by placing his paw on his shoulder.

Leo looked him in the eyes and cracked a smile. He was right though. He had to keep trying, the road to his dreams may be hard but, once he arrived it would all be worth it. "You're right, Mick. Thank you."

Mick smiled back at him and said, "Now get out of here, you're costing us money every second you're here." He gave him a wink and smacked him in the shoulder blade, like a friend.

"Oh, right." Leo started to head for the stairs because, wardrobe still had his clothes upstairs. Before he headed up the stairs he turned back and faced Mick. "And Mick, if you ever need someone for a commercial, you can always call me." Leo smiled and quickly headed up the stairs.

Leo headed into a bedroom which was set up with clothes and makeup. He quickly disrobed and changed into his own clothes. He headed downstairs saying goodbye to various crew members on his way out. He was bummed that he went from a feature film to commercials but, he was keeping an open mind and trying to stay optimistic.

Outside in front of the house was Leo's car, he had purchased a 2010 Honda CR-V. It wasn't the best car in the world but, it was pretty cheap. It didn't really fit his personality but, it got him to and from work and it didn't break the bank. He climbed up into the SUV and started it up. The leather seats were like sitting on the sun. The steering wheel was hot as well but, not nearly as not as the fireball Leo's butt was sitting on.

As he drove away from the location his phone started to ring. He fumbled a bit trying to pull it out of his pocket. It kept catching on the lip of the pocket and just wouldn't slide out. He yanked on the device and it flew out and nearly went into the backseat. He fumbled it around in his paw and answered it just as it was about to go to voicemail. Before he spoke he looked at the caller ID to see who it was.

"Rebecca, how is it going?" Leo asked trying to sound up beat.

"Leo, I have some great news. There's a new movie about to start casting in the next few days and I think you'd be perfect for the lead role. It's about this tech guy who stumbles upon something and then these guys hunt him down." You could hear in her voice that she was multitasking at her desk.

"Sounds great, go ahead and send me the details. If you hear anything else let me know." Leo finished up the conversation and hung up the phone. Rebecca always comes through and doesn't like to be kept on the phone for long. Leo learned that very quickly.

As soon as Leo was done with that phone call he started to call Aiden Young. A cute German Shepard he had started seeing. The two met a few weeks ago and quickly clicked. Aiden lived in LA and worked in the same building as his agent, Rebecca. They started talking in the elevator and before Leo knew it he was handed his number.

Aiden was more serious at times than Leo was, he wore a suit to work every day and Aiden wasn't as nerdy as Leo was. He didn't play video games but, he did watch a lot of TV shows. He was a bit older than Leo; he was actually 26 years old and went to the gym regularly. They had some things in common but, they had a lot of differences as well.

It was good that the two were seeing each other; it helped get his mind off of Nate and helped him focus all his hormones on something that can actually take them. He still longed for his best friend but, it felt like it was fading away at times.

"Hey, Aiden. How are you doing?" Leo was so excited to be talking to him. It didn't matter how bad of a day he was having; Aiden still managed to put a smile on his face.

"Hey, cutie, I'm not up to much; just walking out of work. Did you want to do anything tonight?" Aiden's voice was both deep and smooth and always sounded amazing.

"Well I was going to go to the gym with Nate if you wanted to join us, and then maybe you and I can get dinner after?"

"That sounds good to me. I'll grab my gym clothes and I'll meet you back at your place."

"Great! I'll see you in a little bit. I've gotta go, I'm driving and I don't want to get a ticket."

"Okay, bye." Aiden replied and Leo hung up the phone.

Back at the apartments Nathan was sitting in his apartment playing Xbox in just his gym shorts. His apartment had the same layout as Leo's but, his bed was a top bunk with his guitar and mic setup underneath it. He had a loveseat couch and a dresser with the TV on top of it. He didn't have any décor up in the apartment just left the bland color on the walls.

Since he went to Rebecca's office a few weeks ago he had been put into contact with a recording studio that was helping him out. He was doing some light work here and there but, was never really under contract for anything. He was doing better for sure but, he hadn't quite hit his big break yet.

Next to him on the couch was his cellphone which buzzed with a text message. It was from a girl named Rachel. Nate glanced down at the message and saw that it read, "Had a lot of fun last night. We should really do that again ;)" Nate just swiped the message to the left and cleared it out. He had plans tonight, he and Leo were gonna play some GTA V together after the gym.

Lately Nate and Leo hadn't been able to hang out as much, mostly because he had started to see Aiden. Nathan was happy for his best friend but, he couldn't lie, he was pretty jealous. He didn't want to lose his best friend, he was really the only friend he had.

Outside in the hallway he could hear a door open and close. Leo was home. Nate quickly sprang off the couch and walked across the hall. His bare paws patted across the wood floors as he walked. He opened up his friends door and walked in without skipping a beat.

"Finally you're home. How was the shoot?" Nate asked Leo who was just starting to take off his pants when his friend walked in.

He was used to Nathan walking in by now. Leo was tired of constantly getting up and unlocking the door and he never got around to making a key so, leaving the door unlocked was easier. It also didn't bother him changing in front of Nate anymore. It was hard to for a while because Leo was so attracted to Nate but, he was doing a decent job at keeping his erections under control.

"It went well." Leo grabbed a pair of blue gym shorts out of the drawer and tossed his pants into the laundry basket. The silk fabric felt much better than the denim jeans he was just wearing. "Mick, the director, was really nice. He told me to keep my head up and my big break was coming." Leo took off his shirt and swapped it for another one for the gym.

"That's great! I'm glad. Dude, you're gonna make it soon. I know it."

"Well Rebecca called once I was off the shoot and she told me about a movie role coming up."

"Even better, man. I'll go with you to the casting call if you want." Nate was genuinely happy for his friend. He wanted him to succeed, even if his dreams were dragging a bit behind.

"Yeah, that will be great." Leo walked over to fill his water bottle. "Oh, by the way, I invited Aiden to come with us if that's cool. Then I figured the three of us can go out to eat afterwards."

Nathan hated being the third wheel and he felt like he was becoming an afterthought more and more since Aiden entered the picture. He just sucked it up and replied, "Yeah, that's fine. Let me go get my bag ready. I'd want to shower there afterwards."

"Good idea." Nathan walked out of the apartment and Leo grabbed his backpack and tossed some shorts and a shirt in, along with his soap and a towel.

Back in his apartment Leo grabbed his backpack and tossed some cargo shorts and a shirt into it. Just as he zipped up the bag his phone started to vibrate. In that moment he instantly knew what and who it was. A wave of disappointment came over him like a wave crashed into the beach.

Leo reluctantly leaned over and grabbed his phone on the bed. He answered it with a regretful, "Hello?"

"Hey sweetie." Aiden said on the other line. "I'm so sorry but there's been an incident at work and I have to go in. I am sorry to ditch you but I have to go in. I'm sorry."

In the short amount of time that Leo knew Aiden, he had already cancelled three times before then. It had started to become annoying and Leo did his best to not sound mad or upset as he replied, "Oh, okay. I understand. I guess I'll see you this weekend then?"

"Yeah, for sure, I'll make it up to you I swear." Aiden said and then Leo could hear someone in the background before Aiden continued. "I've got to go, have fun with your friend." Before Leo could respond Aiden's line went dead.

Leo dropped the phone down from his ear and looked at it for a second and said, "Bye, I guess." He then sat down on the edge of the bed and started staring at the black screen on his phone, thinking. He kept thinking about Aiden and if it was actually worth his time to continue to date him. He thought about what it meant that he cancelled on him again. He then started to question his own looks and if he was actually attractive or not. He made him happy but, that seemed to lack in comparison to the consistent canceling.

In that moment of self-loathing and self-pity the door came open and Nathan came walking in wearing his maroon gym shorts and a gray compression shirt. He noticed that Leo was sitting on his bed and stared at his phone. He could tell that Aiden had just cancelled and he could feel his best friend's sadness coming off of him.

"Aiden bail on you again?" Nate asked in a consoling voice. Leo didn't say anything he just nodded his head. "It's alright, bud. You don't need him anyway. You and I can go without him." Nate tried to make his friend feel better but, Leo wasn't really having it.

"You can go without me. I think I'm just going to stay home." Leo said. He didn't feel like doing anything as he started to question everything about him. Normally hanging out with your best friend would help but, when you're best friend is a six foot three jock with a voice that can melt your soul; it doesn't exactly make you super confident.

Nate put his paw on Leo's shoulder and said, "No. You're not doing this. You aren't going to start making yourself feel bad. It's not your fault your boyfriend is a jerk."

"Thanks, Nate, but I just don't feel like going."

"No, you're going or I will make you go." The kangaroo has some serious tones in his voice.

Leo stood up and looked at him in the eyes and said, "You're not going to make me go."

After Leo finished his sentence Nate lunged forward and propelled both of them down to the floor. Leo's eyes were bugging out of his head with the shear surprise. They both hit the rug with a loud 'thud'; Nate climbed on top of Leo and strattled him, holding down his arms.

"I'm not going to get up until you say that you're going. We will be here all night if need be, I have nowhere to go." Nathan wasn't messing around either.

Leo squirmed and struggled to try and break free but, Nate was just a bit stronger than he was. He grunted and kept trying to lift his arms out of his grasp, he even flailed his legs around in the air but, it was no hope. Nate chuckled a little bit as the husky squirmed underneath him.

This wasn't the first time Nate had done this to Leo either. This time though, they were both wearing gym short and Leo had suddenly become aware that both their balls were toughing. There was just a thin layer of fabric separating them and Leo could feel Nate's sack touching his. Once he noticed this he could feel the blood rushing down and he struggled more to get up before Nate could notice. He could feel his shaft starting to poke out from its sheath and he knew he had to do anything to get Nate up.

"Fine! I'll go to the gym with you." Leo finally shouted. He then started to pray that Nate would get up fast enough.

After a few more second Nate finally said, "You're right you're going." And he started to get up. Nate wasn't stupid though, he felt Leo getting a boner and he defiantly felt his balls. He didn't make any note of it, if anything it would have embarrassed him and that wasn't what he wanted to do to him, at least not now.

Leo stood back up and shook his shorts in an attempt to hide his growing erection. Luckily it wasn't poking straight out, making a tent. He thought of anything else in the world to try and get it out of his mind but, the image of Nate being on top of him naked popped up in his mind multiple times.

He shook his head for a second and claimed, "I have a headache." He then walked over to a cabinet in the sink and grabbed some headache medicine and popped a pill. He didn't want to lose the only friend he had because he was attracted to him still.

Leo grabbed his water bottle, gym bag, and Bluetooth headphones and the two of them headed out to the gym. They jumped into Leo's sandy colored SUV and immediately dropped all the windows and turned on the AC. In the short amount of time Leo had been home the car was already burning hot. Luckily it was just a short ride to the gym.

Once the two were there they walked in and checked in with their tags. The two headed into the locker room where there were three rows of lockers, benches to sit down and change at, a sauna, bathrooms, and of course showers. Leo and Nate walked over to a locker and placed their bags inside and headed back out to the gym floor.

The gym had a soft rubber floor, white walls and a wall of mirrors. The equipment was set up into sections and was all a matching red and black color. There were multiple of every machine and there were free weights as well. Luckily the gym wasn't super packed right now. Sometimes in the summer it can be super busy one day and the next, there's not a soul in there.

Leo walked right up to a treadmill and stepped on. He placed his water bottle in the cup holder and put his earbuds in his ears. Nate stepped up onto the treadmill right next to him, which was odd because Nate didn't go on the treadmill too often.

The husky tightened up his shoe lace and then hit the 'quick start' button and the pad started moving. He quickly sped it up to 3.5 miles an hour so he could get a good walk in for a few minutes. Nathan followed suite but, started off at 4.0. He did have longer legs than Leo but, for Leo, everything was a competition.

After about five minutes Leo shot the speed up to 6 MPH to get jogging. He liked running, he felt like it would help get his mind off of things. It was almost like he was running away from his problems when he did. Everything that had been happening with his attempted career, Aiden, and Nathan, he needed to try and forget about everything.

Nathan started to speed his treadmill up to try and compete with Leo. Nate could always lift more than Leo but, Leo was much faster and had better stamina. He cranked it up to 7 MPH so he could be going faster than him. It didn't take long for Leo to notice the speed change and up his as well.

The two bounced back and forth upping their running speed until Leo jumped it up for a full sprint. When he wanted to and was determined enough he could really get going, about 15 MPH to be exact. Nathan maxed out at 11; his leg muscles looked good and could lift a lot but, his stamina wasn't as up to par as Leo's.

Leo's legs looked almost like a blur of moving back and forth, propelling him forward on the stationary rollers. The motor on the machine was wound up as high as it could go and the sounds of his feet hitting the mat weren't the quietest. His arms were bent as a 90 degree angle as they moved up and down with the motions. His breath and heart rate increased more and more as he progressed.

It wasn't until five minutes in that Leo noticed how fast and how hard he was pushing himself. He quickly slowed down to catch his breath. Five minutes at 15 miles per hour was the most he's ever done; as out of breath as he was he felt a bit of weight off his shoulders, temporarily of course.

After an hour passed Leo stopped on the treadmill; Nathan only did about thirty minutes worth before he went over to other machines to work on his arms. Leo wiped down his machine and took a drink from his water bottle, his heart rate had decreased from the sprint he did and was returning to normal. Leo made a quick glance around the room looking for his best friend. It wasn't until he was about to head into the locker room that he noticed Nate walking over to him.

"You ready?" Nate asked.

Leo was a little taken back by the fact that Nate was already done. Normally they are there for at least two hours. "Already?"

"Yeah? We still have to shower and head out to eat. Plus I wanna play GTA" Nate walked into the locker room, over to their locker and grabbed their gym bags.

Both Leo and Nate pulled out their towels and their shampoos. They both promptly started to strip down and Leo did his best to not catch any glances of the kangaroo. After the incident at the apartment he didn't want to chance anything, especially in a room full of half-naked guys.

The two headed over to the showers; Leo had his towel around his waist and Nate had his hanging over his shoulder. Nate didn't have a care in the world and was super confident about how he looked while Leo was still confident but still self-conscious. With him being in acting he was confident being on stage or in front of a camera and was even 'naked' once. It was when he was removed from those environments he felt more vulnerable and judged.

They both stepped into the shower room which had shower heads lining the two longest walls. A small wall came up as a kind of privacy divider between the showers. There was a hook for the towel on each wall, out of the waters range, and a cubby for their shampoo. A drain was in the middle of each section and the piping was exposed in the tile wall.

Leo and Nate walked over to two showers next to each other and turned on the water. The warm water hit Leo's head and rolled down his back and chest. He turned the hot water down a bit so it was more on the cooler side so he could cool down from the run. Leo grabbed his shampoo and dropped a dollop of if in his paw and transferred half of it to his other one. He ran his soapy paws through his blue hair and around his ears. He grabbed some more and moved on to his arms and continued the process with the rest of his body.

At one point during the shower Leo glanced over and noticed Nate. He was taking his time and had his left leg propped up on one of the horizontal pipes. His butt was perked out a bit; water flowed down his back and off of it or ran down his thick tail. The soapy water ran down his chest and abs until it reached his shaft and balls, where it flowed off and hit the tiled ground. He moved his soapy paws down his thigh and calves but, not as fast as he normally does. For some reason this time he was taking his time, almost sensually.

The husky snapped his head away and quickly finished rinsing off his body. He turned off the water and Nate looked over when the sound of water hitting the tile next to him, ceased to exist. Leo grabbed his towel and started to dry off. He soaked up most of the water off his fur before he headed over to a drying station that was right next to the showers.

The walls were lined with high industrial air vents that blew purified, hot air at someone to help dry off their fur. He stepped in and the motion control sensors kicked in and started to blow dry every inch of him. It was only a few seconds before he finished and he started to head out. He wrapped his damp towel around his waist and headed back over to the locker rows.

Nate was already over at the lockers; he didn't use the drying station because his fur was so short that 90 percent of the water was caught in the towel. Leo needed it because his was a bit longer and he couldn't stand the feeling of damp fur.

When Leo walked over to the Locker Nate was already getting dressed. He was wearing a blue and yellow jockstrap and was sliding his shorts on over it. Most of the time he wore boxers or boxer briefs but, occasionally and mostly at the gym Nate would wear a jockstrap. Leo grabbed his gym bag and did his best not to catch a glimpse of Nates perfectly rounded posterior.

Leo grabbed his black cargo shorts and slid them on without putting on any underwear. Nate looked at him as he was zipping up his shorts and said, "I feel like you go commando a lot."

Leo blushed a little bit and got a shot of embarrassment but, shook it off before replying, "I do, just not all the time. It's really hot outside and sometimes it makes me sweat more down there."

Nate chuckled, "I know, buddy, I'm just giving you a hard time." He smiled and then pulled his shirt over his head. They both finished getting ready and then they headed out of the gym to go get food.
