Blossoming Friendship - A Hard Weekend

Story by king of lions on SoFurry

, , ,


Dustyn softly yawned and looked to his left to see a young lion laying next to him, wide awake.

"Morning, Dustyn." the lion smiled joyfully at the snow leopard.

"Morning, Emir." Dustyn said tiredly rolling over to face the lion cub.

"How'd you sleep?" Emir asked, purring softly.

"Good, but why are you in my bed?" Dustyn asked, not fully remembering the previous night.

"Am I not allowed to sleep with my mate?" Emir asked, acting shocked.

"I'm...you're mate?" Dustyn asked.

"Yeah...we had sex last night and I wanted you to be my mate." Emir said and Dustyn's face lost all colour.

"That...that happened?" Dustyn studdered thinking it was all a very good wetdream.

"Yeah, how else would you explain why you're naked?" Emir smiled and Dustyn sat straight up and looked under the sheets. It was true, he was naked, and so was Emir.

"We actually had sex last night?" Dustyn asked confused.

"Yes, hun; we did." Emir smiled.

"Then it wasn't a dream!" Dustyn exclaimed happily hugging the lion next to him, wincing at the sharp pain in his tailhole.

"No, it wasn't a dream! Ouch." Dustyn said and Emir laughed.

"Hey, it's not funny." Dustyn growled.

"Sorry, I just thought your face was so cute when you realized it wasnt a dream." Emir explained to his mate.

"Well, if we're making fun of eachother's faces, then your face when you cummed last night." Dustyn said making fun of Emir's face the previous night.

Emir blushed, but smiled.

"You're gonna regret that, kitty." Emir growled playfully.

"Kitty!?" Dustyn growled at the nickname.

"Yeah, you're my kitty." Emir explained.

"Fine." Dustyn said.

The two smiled and Emir sat up and hugged his lover. Dustyn looked at the clock on his nightstand and gasped, it was 10:24 a.m.

"We'd better get up, lion-boy." Dustyn said.

"Lion-boy?" Emir asked.

"Yeah, if I'm your kitty, you're my lion-boy." Dustyn smiled and Emir returned the smile.

Dustyn swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood up; the snow leopard then stretched as hard as he could, making sure to stretch his tail high, exposing his spotted butt for Emir, and the young lion saw what he wanted, Dustyn's tight tailhole. Emir started purring loudly.

"Lion-boy like what he sees?" Dustyn asked looking over his shoulder.

"Yeah, he likes everything he sees." Emir smiled broadly.

"Good." said Dustyn and he walked over to his dresser and searched for some clothes.

With a sigh, Emir climbed out of his lover's bed and went to his back pack in the corner of the room and searched through it for a some clothes.

"So hun..." Dustyn said and then giggled.

"What?" Emir asked curiously.

"Sorry, I'm not used to saying 'hun', it's still new." Dustyn purred.

"Okay, you'll get used to it." Emir said as he pulled out jeans and a pair of black briefs.

"Well, what I was gonna say was, what do you think the kids at school will think when they find out we're lovers?" Dustyn asked.

"They can think what they want, and if they say anything about it to you, I'm gonna tell them the truth, they have a problem with it, to come find me, but they better have a medic nearby." Emir answered and got a giggle in response, then he pulled a white t-shirt over his head.

When Dustyn turned around, he saw that the lion was dressed like any normal American or British boy would: t-shirt, blue jeans, and tennis shoes.

"Wow...." Dustyn said pulling on his black shirt.

"What?" Emir asked confused.

"I'm not used to you looking like an American." Dustyn said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Emir said annoyed.

"No, no, I mean you normally wear that long white robe and white pants with your white knit cap. You normally look like a Middle Easterner, it's just different." Dustyn explained.

"Fine, kitty." Emir said and stood up.

"Where you wanna go?" Dustyn asked.

"How about the mall?" Emir smiled.

"What for?" Dustyn asked.

"Well, I have a mate and I'd like to show him off since he's the cutest, most adorable boy in the world." Emir smiled.

"Okay," Dustyn purred, "but how do we get there?"

"The city bus." Emir said and grabbed his wallet.

The two walked down the stairs and to the Turners' livingroom and they found Mrs. Turner in the kitchen washing dishes.

"Morning mum." Dustyn greeted his mother.

"Morning, Mrs. Turner." Emir said.

"Morning Dustyn and Emir." said Mrs. Turner, returning her son and Emir's joyful greetings, "How did you boys sleep?"

"Good." Dustyn said smiling innocently.

"Good; you both going somewhere?" Mrs. Turner asked.

"We were hoping to go to the mall." Dustyn answered.

"Good, I need to go anyways; I'll take you guys." Mrs. Turner said and placed the last dish into the dish rack and dried her paws.

---30 minutes later---

The group walked outside of the Turner house and climbed into Mrs. Turner's minivan and got buckled.

"So, what are you boys going to do at the mall?" Mrs. Turner asked as she pulled out of the driveway and headed through the streets to the large mall on the other side of the city.

"Well, I wanna look for some new games for the Wii." Dustyn answered.

"And I was hoping to look at the clothes." Emir said.

"Okay, I'll be in Sears looking for some new sheets for our bed." Mrs. Turner said.

---5 minutes later---

The minivan pulled up in front of the mall and Dustyn and Emir climbed out of the van.

"I'm going to go park the car, meet me at the food court in an hour, I'll be calling your cell phone, Dustyn, to make sure you guys are okay." Mrs. Turner said and drove off to find a parking spot.

"Ready?" Dustyn asked to his lion-lover.

"Yep, let's go." Emir smiled and the boys walked through the large glass double doors.

The boys were greeted with the sounds and smells of the mall; foods, sweets, and perfumes excited the felines' notsrils and the sounds, the pinging of the elevators as they indicated the floor they were stopping at, the laughing and gossip of the girls carrying shooping bags loaded with perfumes and lingerie that could make almost any male go crazy with lust.

"Wanna look for clothes first or games?" Dustyn asked the lion.

"How about we get games first." Emir said and the two looked a few stores down and saw one of Dustyn's favourite stores, Game Stop. The pair walked down the long row of shops to the game store and walked in. Inside there were teens of all different species playing on the newest game consoles and trying out the newest games.

Dustyn and Emir walked over to a shelf and looked at the large display of games, Emir waited patiently as Dustyn looked up, down, to the left, then his right trying to make a decision on a game.

"Hey Emir, what about this one?" Dustyn asked the lion and pointed to a game with a racecar on the front and a cheetah leaning up against the car.

"Its your choice, hun." the lion said and Dustyn picked it up.

"Hey boys." came a voice from behind and the two felines turned around to see Mrs. Turner.

"I thought I'd find you both here." Mrs. Turner said with a smile.

"Ha-ha, very funny." Dustyn said and smiled.

"Well, anyways, I found a parking spot and I'm going to Sears." Mrs. Turner smiled and started digging through her purse and pulled out $20 and gave it to Dustyn,"There is your allowence, Dustyn. I'll be calling your cell."

With that, the snow leopard turned and walked out.

The boys turned around and went to the store counter to buy the game. The tired looking collie behind the counter rang up the game and looked at the screen to see how much the game was.

"$21.98 is the total." said the bored collie to the boys.

"Oh crap!" Dustyn said and looked at Emir, "I need to go get two more dollars from my mom."

"Okay," Emir said, "I'll wait here."

Dustyn ran out of the store to catch up with his mother, he saw her looking at a large map of the mall and ran up to her.

"Mom?" Dustyn asked.

"Oh, hey hun. What ya need?" Mrs. Turner asked.

"$2.00 for a game." Dustyn asked and his mother reached into her purse again, pulling out two crumpled old dollars.

"Thank you mommy!" Dustyn said and kissed his mother on the cheek and ran back to the game store.

When Dustyn returned to the store, he saw Emir was nowhere inside. Dustyn started to panic, he couldn't find his boyfriend.

"Hey, Dustyn!" called a voice from the fountain behind him. When Dustyn turned around, he saw it was Emir, holding a white plastic shopping bag with GAME STOP written on the front in big red letters.

"EMIR!" Dustyn almost roared at the lion.

"What?" Emir asked.

"You scared me!" Dustyn growled.

"Sorry." Emir appologized, lowering his ears.

"Hey, what's in the bag?" Dustyn asked.

"Your game." Emir said reaching into the bag and pulling out the game, handing it to Dustyn.

"I didn't pay for it yet, how'd you get it?" Dustyn asked confused.

"I bought it for you." Emir smiled.

"Thanks!" Dustyn smiled and hugged the lion.

"No problem." the young lion said to his lover.

"Wait, how'd you buy it? You don't have any money." Dustyn asked.

Emir reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black leather wallet and pulled out a Platinum American Express credit card, Dustyn's jaw dropped.

"You have a credit card?" Dustyn asked astonished.

"Yes." Emir answered.

"How on Earth did you get that?" Dustyn asked confused as to why his mate had a credit card.

"My father trusts me." Emir said.

"How much is on it?" Dustyn asked getting a few ideas.

"$2,500.00." Emir said.

"HOLY CRAP!" Dustyn exclaimed.

"What? That's my birthday money." Emir said only to make Dustyn nearly fall over from surprise.

"Where to now?" Dustyn asked after regaining his senses.

"How about Orion's?" Emir asked.

The pair of felines walked down the row of shops again, looking through the large display windows to see if they saw any clothes they liked. Once the group got to Orion's, Emir walked to a wall display of jeans and looked for some he might like.

After looking for a few minutes, Emir found some he liked, a pair with a pink stitching going down each leg.

"We done?" Dustyn asked the lion.

"No, I was wanting to see if there are any new undies that are on sale since last week." Emir said and the two walked to the other side of the store.

Emir looked at one of the large oak tables where the underwear was displayed and he picked up a pair of black briefs with a pink waistband and SLUT written on the butt in pink.

"Bet those look nice on you." Dustyn smiled.

"They're too small, you'd be able to see half of each of my butt cheeks, hunny." Emir laughed.

"That's the point." Dustyn smiled and purred, think of the lion in only the undies.

"Fine, I'll wear these, if you wear this." Emir said and held up a pink thong.

"Okay!" Dustyn said.

"Okay, I'll buy them." Emir said and the group headed to the check out line.

As the boys waited to be checked out, they got very odd looks from the other customers due to the fact that they saw two young boys buying jeans and then a pair of briefs and a pink thong, but neither Dustyn nor Emir could care.

"Hello boys." said the male doberman at the counter.

"Hello." Emir said.

The doberman rang up all the items and smiled at the boys.

"Your total is $123.58." the dog said and Emir ran his Platinum American Express card through the card machine.

"Thank you boys for shopping at Orion's." the doberman said as the two left the store.

"I wonder why he didn't ask us anything." Dustyn said.

Emir turned around.

"That's probably why." Emir said and Dustyn looked, the male doberman was hugging and kissing a large male black bear.

"That would do it." Dustyn joked and the two laughed as they headed for the food court.

Once the two had navigated through the mall to the food court, they saw Mrs. Turner sitting under a palm tree on a bench waiting for the boys.

"Hello, boys, did you have a good time?" Mrs. Turner asked as the boys approached her.

"Yes, mum, we did." Dustyn smiled and looked to Emir.

"Good. Ready to go now?" Mrs. Turner asked and the boys nodded.

---10 minutes later---

The minivan pulled up in front of the Turner household and the group climbed out of the van. Dustyn and Emir walked into the house and went upstairs.

With a sigh, the young lion and snow leopard sat down on Dustyn's bed, which still reeked with musk.

"So, baby, when do you have to go home?" Dustyn asked a

"Whenever my mother comes to get me." Emir said to his boyfriend.

"Okay. Wanna go watch tv?" Dustyn asked and the two went downstairs to watch the cartoons that were on that evening.

After maybe an hour, the sun had fully set.

As the animated television show ended, the boys heard the sound of a car door slam outside, when they looked out the window, they saw a slim female lioness wearing al ong pink robe and a lime green headscarf walk up to the door, it was Emir's mother.

"Awww!" Dustyn whined, "You have to go home."

"It's okay, we'll see eachother in school tomorrow." Emir reassured his snow leopard.

"Okay." Dustyn said smiling.

Mrs. Tunrer walked to the door and opened it, and after greeting the lioness, the female snow leopard asked her to come in.

"Thank you, I am here to pick up my son." Mrs. Asad smiled.

Emir ran upstairs and retrieved his backpack.

"Ready, Emir?" Mrs. Asad asked.

"Yes, mother." Emir smiled innocently.

"Good, tell Dustyn goodbye." the lioness said.

Dustyn walked over and the two hugged eachother.

"Okay, hun, lets get going, your brothers are gonna drive your father insane if I dont get home soon." Mrs. Asad smiled, picturing her husband trying to care of 2 year old Yasirah and Emir's 4 year old triplet brothers.

The lions walked out to the car and climbed in, Dustyn ran up to the passenger window and waved to Emir, who waved back. The car then pulled out of the driveway and drove toward the city.

Dustyn and Mrs. Turner walked into the house together, but Mrs. Turner wasn't smiling, she looked as though she was deep in thought.

"Dustyn." Mrs. Turner said.

"Yes mum?" Dustyn asked nervously.

"Have a seat on the couch." Mrs. Turner said, sitting on the loveseat against the side wall.

"Okay..." Dustyn said, instantly getting very scared and extremely nervous.

After a long awkward silence, Mrs. Turner sighed, only adding to the uncomfortableness.

"Hunny,...are you and Emir gay?" Mrs. Turner finally asked looking at the snow leopard, her expressionless face made her seem horrifying to the cub, even though she was his own mother; her face was similar to the featurless maniquins that were in the store windows in the mall.

"I umm...." Dustyn said trying to think.

"Dustyn." Mrs. Turner said.

"I- I- he...." Dustyn studdered trying to think up something quickly.

"Dustyn Turner, don't lie to me." Mrs. Turner said.

That was it, Dustyn's eyes filled with tears and they started falling.

"So you are." Mrs. Turner said, but Dustyn still tried to deny it by shaking his head, he was going to defend him and Emir as long as possible.

Mrs. Turner then held up Dustyn's bed spread, still wet in places, reaking of lion musk and feline cum.

And now, that was the last the poor cub could take, his eyes let loose all the tears that had welled up, tears that not only were there from the fear, but the horrible feeling that he just not only lied to his mother, but the fact he had sex with his best friend, even though it felt so right and good.

"Yes..." Dustyn managed to say between sobs.

The sight of her son in such a painful spot made the female feel extremely bad, she meant to get the answer, not make her son cry like a newborn cub. The sight was so sad, she even started to get misty eyed, not from the knowledge of her son was gay, but because he was this terrified for it to be discovered.

"But...but Emir isn't gay...he's bisexual." Dustyn said and the female sat down next to her son and hugged him as he cried into her shoulder.

After maybe 4 minutes of solid crying, the snow leopard cub regained his senses.

"How...how did you find out?" Dustyn stammered.

"Well, actually it wasn't from the bed spread." Mrs. Turner said.

"Then how?" Dustyn asked.

"We saw you and him yiffing last night." Mrs. Turner said.

"Wait...we?" Dustyn asked, his face again going solid white under his fur.

"Me and Mrs. Asad." Mrs. Turner said.

"Oh no..." Dustyn said.

"What?" Mrs. Turner asked.

"Emir's family is very religious, they might hurt him if he's bisexual." Dustyn said.

"They won't, Mrs. Asad actually expected this." Mrs. Turner reassured her son.

"Okay...but if he isn't at school, you're calling the police." Dustyn said and his mother agreed to that.

With that out of the way, Dustyn headed upstairs to go and take his bath before bed.

---At the Asad Mansion---

Ma'alikah and Emir climbed out of the car and walked into the mansion through the garage. Upon entering the house, Emir saw something out of the ordinary. Sitting on the couch was Emir's triplet brothers and his sister, Yasirah; sitting in an arm chair in the corner was his grandmother, wearing a completly black robe that covered everything but her face; and sitting in the arm chair next to the fireplace was Emir's father.

Emir felt kind of uneasy by the large group, the last time something like this happened, Emir's grandfather had passed away.

Emir headed for the stair but was stopped by a voice.

"Emir Asad, come here." came a soft voice, it was his mother, now standing by his father.

The lion walked up and stood in front of the huge male lion. Mr. Asad didnt say anything, in fact, he wasnt even looking at his son, but the floor, he did nothing, no moving, no blinking. To add to the lion cub's fear, there were no lights above where his father was sitting, only a little lamp on the side table next to him which lighted only half of the male's face, leaving the left side in sort of shadow.

Emir's father was very intimidating, a 6 ft. 10 inch tall lion with a coal black mane, golden eyes that were sheilded by a pair of gold rimmed glasses, massive claws that were always manicured to be razor sharp, huge canine fangs, and the frame of a soldier.

"What?" Emir asked nervously.

"Emir...we...umm." Ma'alikah said trying to approach the issue at hand.

The lionesse tried to think of what to say; but then came a voice.

"Emir, my son, would you lie to me?" asked the large male lion in front of him, his Arabic accent strong.

"N-no, father." Emir trembled, he had never been asked this before; all boys from Emir's culture respected and feared their fathers, their greatest shame was to disappoint their fathers, and Emir was among them.

"So you wouldn't try to hide anything if I were to ask you a question?" Mr. Asad asked.

"No, sir." Emir quickly answered.

"Are you bisexual, my dear son?" Mr. Asad asked his son.

"Wh-what?" Emir gasped.

"Are you bi?" Mrs. Asad asked.

"No......." Emir started to say.

There was a long and horrible pause.

"YES!" Emir shouted and broke down crying, he fell to his knees crying into his paws.

Everyone watched.

"Rashid." said a voice and everyone, including Emir looked to the old lioness in the corner, it was Emir's grandmother.

"What?" asked the lion.

"He doesn't deserve to have the name Asad, you must disown him." said the female and upon hearing that, Emir started crying harder into his paws, his sobs almost becoming wails of sadness.

"If this was the kingdom, he'd could be killed for this autrocity." said the female and Emir looked at her, he was too terrified to cry, not scared for himself, but Dustyn; if he was killed, no one could protect Dustyn from harm.

"Leave." Mr. Asad said to his younger children and they obeyed almost completely, but they peered around the corner of the wall to watch.

The elderly female looked at her grandson in disguist.

Emir started crying into his paws again, the horrific idea of being shot or stabbed and left to die by the side of a road in a ditch somewhere miles from help replayed in his mind, but worst of all was the thought of Dustyn after Emir was dead, the thought of what Dustyn would do when he found out.

Emir's father stood up and walked over to his son. The cub stopped crying and looked up at the huge beast in front of him.

Emir lowered his ears and clenched his eyes, waiting for the blow from his father's fist or a kick to his stomach, both were strong enough to knock him out or kill him. Out of pure fear, the lion cub started reciting verses from his religion's holy book, hoping that if he was to be killed, he be killed with the words of the holy book of the religion he followed on his lips, the same lips Dustyn had kissed.

Emir's sibling were watching from the corner, tears in their eyes as they were too young to understand why their brother was crying and the uncertainty of what was about to happen.

The huge male looked down at his son and did something he thought he'd never do again, tears started to fall, and they landed on Emir's ears, shoulders, and his pre-mature mane. The cub looked and saw his father crying and Emir was so confused, he himself stopped crying. The male knealt down in front of his son and hugged him.

Emir's grandmother was confused beyond belief, all the while Emir's mother was crying.

"My son," Rashid said and Emir looked up at his father, a weak smile on his stern face and tears streaming down from his deep golden eyes, "I love you, you were my second born son and the only eldest son I have now. You have much more courage then I ever could wish to have. You are my beloved son who will lead the family once I pass on. Never feel scared to come to me, because I will always protect you. You are my son, Emir Asad."

Hearing this, Emir stopped crying and hugged his father.

"Thank you, father." Emir said in Arabic.

Rashid stood up and helped his son up, drying the cub's soaked eyes.

"What are you doing!" Emir's grandmother yelled, "Disown the damned faggot!"

"HEY!" Rashid roared and everyone stopped crying and even breathing. "That is my son, the heir to the family and my fortune. He wasn't raised like you were, mother, he doesn't have to fear death from the religious police or torture for his lifestyle or beliefs. If you don't like that, then you may leave and go back to the kingdom, but you aren't welcomed here."

"You are throwing me out, but not that butt-fucking-cock-sucking-queer!?" the elderly lioness roared at her son and glared at her grandson who hid behind his father.

"Na'am." Rashid said, which was Arabic for "yes".

Emir peered around his father.

The lioness looked at her grandson, "You will regret this you little queer! You and your ass-whore boyfriend."

This infuriated Emir.

"HEY!" Emir roared loudly, almost as good as a fully grown lion and walked out from behind his father.

Everyone was quiet and looked at the cub.

"Guess what? My boyfriend loves me and I love him, and dont you ever, EVER call him a whore, got it you old decrepid bitch of a female?" Emir roared.

"He...He just insulted me! The queer insulted me!" the lioness said looking to her son and the male placed a paw on Emir's shoulder and the cub thought he may have gone too far.

Everyone looked at Rashid.

"I couldn't have said it better myself." Rashid smiled and Emir smiled.

"WHAT!?" the grandmother yelled.

"Leave my mansion, now." Rashid said and pointed to the door.

"But...my belongings." the elderly lioness said.

"They will be mailed to you. Leave now, there will be a ticket waiting for you to return to the kingdom at the airport." Rashid said.

"F-Fine! But I hope you know that homo is no longer a part of the Asad family!" the lioness yelled.

"If you don't leave now, he won't be something you will be, he won't be in an American prison." Rashid said.

The lioness grabbed her purse and ran out the door and hailed a taxi.

Emir sat on the couch and his mother and siblings came and sat next to him, hugging him so he would feel better, Ma'alikah wiped away her son's tears and held him tight. After his mother had left, Rashid called the airport and told them that he wanted a one way ticket to the Kingdom and he bought it.

Before anyone knew it, it was 12:00 a.m. All the cubs were sitting on the large couch and all but Emir were asleep. Rashid and his wife picked up the cubs and carried them to their beds, as they left, Emir unravelling his prayer rug and started praying.

"So, your mother really wants to disown Emir?" Ma'alikah asked as she and her husband walked down stairs.

"Yes; do you think he's scared or worried?" Rashid asked.

"I really dont think so." the lioness said pointing to Emir, fast asleep on his prayer rug curled into a ball.

"Me either." Rashid said and picked up his son, carrying him to his bed and laying him down.

"He will sleep good tonight." the female lion said to her husband as they shut the door to his room.

And, at the exact same time on the other side of the city, the door to Dustyn's room was being shut by his mother; and both, Dustyn's mother and Emir's father saw something shiny on their sons' paws, it was the rings, shining in the darkness with the smallest ray of light, just as the wearers' love does and for them, hope was also shining in their darkest moments.

Both boys slept.

Well, how did this come out? I thoroughly enjoyed writing it, but it took me forever to come up with some drama. Anyhow, please post comments. BYE!
