#14 of Eric's Schooldays


The greatest night of your life

With year eleven ending for a somewhat disillusioned Eric, the prospect of year twelve was becoming quite frightening for him indeed. Armed with four A grades and two B grades he started to question himself as to how well he could do this year. With university less than a year away he couldn't really waste as much time as he did when he was in year eleven. It wasn't until his second week back that talk of the school ball started to float around. His school had always done things differently to others when it was the ball day but the conflicts between him and his peers would start long before the ball day would even come.

"So what are you guys coming as in the morning?" Alex asked offhandedly one day.

"Oh I dunno... maybe a pirate or something," Chris responded.

"Probably a doctor,"

"Captain Planet,"

"Pilot,"

"Beer bottle,"

"I don't know... I wasn't thinking of coming,"

Seven pairs of eyes turned to face Eric with looks of shock and surprise on them. What he had just said was apparently more provocative then anything he had ever said in his life thus far.

"I will pretend that you did not just say that. Eric, look at things this way. Would you like to be an outcast for the rest of the year?"Alex asked him.

Eric paused, being an outcast did suit him to an extent; it would help him with his school marks, given that his grades from year eleven weren't all so hot-shot.

"I'll take that risk. What am I going to do there? Stand around and pretend to be interested? Or go out and dance and look like an idiot? Please I can think of a better way to waste five hours!" Eric scoffed, folding his arms across his chest. He had been sceptical of going to the school ball later that year from the very start. Not that he was paying for the ticket himself but he still found it a complete waste of time. Paying ninety dollars to sit around in a suit and dance? It was an absurd price to pay to do so little.

"Eric this is one thing which you will turn up to. I will make sure that you do not miss out on the greatest night of your life even if it kills me!" Alex cried.

Eric was going to make a witty comment aimed at the fox but with only mere minutes left before class he knew better of it.

Days passed and the others would not stop pestering him about his unwillingness to attend the ball. Alex was at the forefront of this and it was starting to get on Eric's nerves. Sure Alex was his best friend but he had his limits. It was simply out of respect for the fox that Eric didn't make any unwarranted moves. Chris was intelligent enough to not push the issue too far and it was because of this, Eric preferred to stay around him rather than the others. Alas it would not be by Alex's words which convinced Eric to go, but rather from an inside source closer to him then he thought.

"Eric I know how opposed you are to the whole ball thing but you never properly explained why you don't want to go. I mean the afters you don't have to go... hell I probably won't go to one either but just explain to me why you won't go to the ball," Chris asked him one day when the two of them were alone sometime after school had ended.

"I thought I explained this to you already. I don't need a social event to destroy what little dignity I have left. Remember what happened when we went ice skating?" Eric growled. The bitter thought quickly came back to his mind of what had happened in his second year of high school. Why he still held on to that thought he wasn't sure but it always came up as a playing card of some sort.

"Eric... that was back then, we all had a good laugh, even if you came back with the most bruises out of anyone. That was two, three years ago and we can go again at any time. This is the Ball we're talking about here. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Once it's gone it's gone for good," Chris told him in a rather quiet voice, something rather uncharacteristic for the fox. Eric got off the ground and turned away from Chris.

"I dunno. I'm not sure I still want to take that chance. I don't need to make a fool of myself in front of the entire school," Eric sighed, folding his arms across his chest, his gaze focused at the ground. Chris got up as well and stood behind the lupine. Placing a paw on his shoulder, the fox gently hugged Eric from behind, hoping to reassure him.

"Eric... I know I shouldn't push it but if I ask you for one thing may it be this," Chris whispered as he walked in front of Eric and took a hold on the wolf's paws in his own, "Eric... will you please come to the ball... for me?"

Eric stiffened; these tactics were something which Alex normally used against him and they usually worked as well. Chris was learning a thing or two about convincing him to do things from Alex.

"I..." Eric started, staring deeply into Chris's eyes. He felt his resistance starting to melt away as Chris held on to him tightly. Sighing to himself, Eric conceded defeat, his stubbornness fading to the logical reasoning located in the back of his mind.

"Fine..." Eric sighed, "But I am so killing Alex for teaching you his style!"

"Thanks man. I will never forget this!" Chris responded, tears welling in his eyes as he hugged Eric tightly.

A little overwhelmed about this sudden display of affection, Eric returned home later that day with a lot of questions on his mind. What with Chris's change in behaviour and all. When he sat down to dinner with his family later the concept of bringing up the ball ran through his mind, unless he chose to pay the ninety dollars for the ticket himself. Then there was the suit he would have to get from one place or another.

"Um... mom, dad, about the ball later this term... I uh... I've decided on actually going," Eric mumbled, hoping that his parents had actually heard him. Keeping his head near his plate he watched as his parents put down their forks and spoons before looking at him.

"That's wonderful Eric... I was hoping that you would change your mind soon enough. We'll have to get you a suit of course. Hopefully you'll be able to use it in your job interview when that happens," his mother said, clearly overjoyed that Eric had decided on going to the ball.

"So have you got a date for the ball then?" his father snickered. Eric coughed loudly as he gagged on a piece of food which went down his windpipe.

"Wait, what? No! Why? Should I have one?" Eric answered in a low voice, feelings of discontent in his voice.

"No, no... sweetie you don't HAVE to have one. Your father is just having a little fun with you. From what I remember someone didn't have a date for their ball when they were younger!" his mother smirked, the comment directed at his father.

"Okay then... if you say so," Eric quietly replied.

Overjoyed by Eric's sudden change of heart, his parents took it upon themselves to find a suit which would fit Eric's physique. Given his rather narrow shoulders, none of his father's suits would fit him. That Saturday, his parents took him out to one of the large department stores to get his measurements. It took them over an hour to get him the right size and in a design that actually looked good. Another hour was taken up by finding the right shoes to match the suit. By the end of the day Eric was starting to wonder how much money his parents had spent on formal wear. Ideally he would like to pay the equivalent back some day but it didn't look promising.

The next problem on the agenda was what he would come in for the morning. His school had this tradition which happened on the ball day every single year. On that day, every Year 12 student would come in fancy dress in the morning to school, bringing with them a can of food and a monetary donation. There were prizes for things such as most creative costume and such but it was exceedingly hard to win those if it all. There was no point in making something given how close it was to the date already. Something generic wouldn't win any awards but he wasn't going to be paying for the ball ticket so what did it matter?

By the time Monday had come around Eric was preparing to pay the 90 dollars for the ball ticket when he was ambushed by Alex. The fox incredibly excited by the fact that Eric had decided on coming.

"I thought you said that you weren't coming," Alex said, resting his head on Eric's shoulder.

"Someone changed my mind," Eric hissed as he handed over the money to the registrar.

"Really? Who then?" Alex asked, clearly puzzled as to who could have changed Eric's mind about the ball.

"Chris did..." Eric responded, putting the ticket into his bag, "Oh and there's something I forgot to give you"

Alex smiled a smug smile, "Oh really? What is it?"

Eric thumbed his nose before slapping Alex on the cheek, leaving a red mark on his cheek.

"Ah jeez... what was that for?" Alex bellowed.

"That was for teaching Chris your convincing techniques!" Eric growled before walking off.

With only a fortnight left to the ball Eric was stuck for costume ideas. As he paced in his room his mobile phone caught his eye.

"Chris would have an idea! He always has an idea at times like this!" Eric thought as he went downstairs and picked up the phone. As he started to dial the fox's number he paused for a moment.

"This is stupid! I mean there's a damn costume store near Alex's place! Duh why didn't I think of that?" he muttered to himself.'

As he placed the phone back he was about to leave when the phone rang, startling him.

"He...hello? Who is this?" Eric asked.

"It's Chris... look uh... I wanted to call for..." Chris started.

"Oh Chris what perfect timing! Look I need a costume idea! Do you have anything?" Eric interjected.

"Uh what? Oh I have an idea! Come as a ninja! It suits you so much!" Chris responded.

"Oh cool! So um what was it you were saying before I cut you off there?"

There was a brief silence while Chris gathered up the courage to say what he was going to say. If only Eric could have see Chris at that particular moment in time.

"Oh right... uh yeah about that... um. Well uh... it was nice that you were coming and uh... well I was wondering if you were going with um... anyone else for the ball," Chris started.

Eric paused, as he tried to interpret this.

"Are you asking me to go to the ball with you?" Eric asked.

"Uh... um... yeah that's right," Chris answered.

"Sure why not. I'd love to,"

With his parents still thinking that he was straight it wouldn't be easy to explain the fact that he was going with someone to the ball now. His parents had always been a little wary, if not suspicious, of Eric's behaviour up until now and it was a surprise that he hadn't been caught yet. Having parents who weren't exactly tech savvy did have its uses.

Half a week had passed before Eric eventually got up the courage to tell his parents to drop him at Chris's house instead of taking him straight to the ball when the time came. His father was sceptical for the reasoning behind it but agreed to it without too much of a hassle.

When it came to the day of the ball itself Eric was preparing himself for something he would remember for the rest of the year at least. As he attached the plastic katana he had borrowed from Alex onto his back he was about to march out the front door when the voice of his mother called him back in.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" she asked him.

Eric scratched his head quizzically. Looking around he tried to find something which would act as a visual clue for this mystery object. It didn't dawn on him until his mother held up the can of food he was supposed to bring. Shaking his head in disbelief he took the can and slunk out of the house without another word.

Arriving at school shortly afterwards, Eric was hasty in trying to find his friends and to see what they had come in.

"Hey the ninja is here. Show us a couple of moves shadow man,"

Turning around, he was delighted to see Alex already there. The fox was dressed as a... playing card? Looking to his left he also saw Steve, who had come as a pilot, Matthew as a doctor and Aaron dressed as a mock version of the pope.

"Is Chris here yet? I have something to settle with him," Eric muttered, looking around at the crowd that had gathered around them.

"No I haven't seen him all morning. He's probably a little late... you know how far away he lives," Alex responded. A little disappointed that Chris hadn't shown up yet he was about to leave when something covered his eyes, causing him to flail his arms around reflexively

"Guess who!" said a familiar voice.

"Gah! Damn you Chris! Let me go this instant!" Eric grunted.

When he was allowed to see again, Eric drew out the plastic katana from its protective casing and pointed it at Chris, eying the pirate costume warily.

"Alright then! I challenge to you a duel. One sword each!" Eric cried out aloud before moving close and whispering into Chris's ear, "Loser has to give the winner a blowjob"

"Oh you are so on!" Chris responded, pulling out his cutlass.

Up until now Eric reckoned himself as a good sword fighter so it came as a real surprise to him as he soon found himself on the ground with Chris's cutlass just a few centimetres above his neck.

"What the hell? Come on best two out three?" Eric whined. Chris stooped over so that his face was just slightly above Eric's.

"You want to risk giving me a second round of head?" Chris asked him in a quiet voice. Eric paused for a second, making sure to give it some thought before answering. Not that he would be saying it out aloud with so many others around.

"Alright you win..." Eric muttered as Chris helped him up.

"Will everyone please come to the gym to hand in your donations," called a voice.

As Eric followed after everyone else he noticed several different costumes, most of them hired but there were a few which were made at home and they looked incredibly impressive. One extremely noteworthy one was someone who had come dressed up as an ATM from a television ad.

"Geez I wonder how long that took to make," Eric whispered, tugging on Chris's shirt.

"I have no idea but damn does it look good!" Chris responded.

By the time that everyone had finished handing in their donations and their parade through the nearby shopping centre it was nearly ten in the morning. Soon enough Eric, Chris, Alex and a few others were sitting around the tables in the nearby McDonalds while discussing their plans for the rest of the day and what would be happening that night after the ball. Apparently he and Chris would be one of the few people away from Alex's afters party, choosing to spend the night at Chris's place after the ball. Not that anyone was asking any questions about why he was staying at Chris's place after the ball. It was probably a good thing otherwise there could have been a few embarrassing disclosures.

"So you think you'll be able to join our Halo 3 games tonight then?" Alex asked as he took a sip from his Coke.

"We should be able to. I don't see why not. You up for some Halo later tonight Eric?" Chris asked him.

"What... oh right. Yeah I'm game. That is assuming I'm not bone tired after the ball," Eric responded.

"Then it is decided. The password we'll be using will be WSBall09,"

Eric couldn't keep his mind on studying when he got back that morning. He was simply too excited. Alex had promised him that it would be an unforgettable night and he was rather trusting of the fox.

"Stand still Eric! Unless you know how to tie a tie stop fidgeting!"

"Perhaps I should have looked this up on YouTube. It would make things a lot quicker!" Eric thought bitterly as he looked down. His father was busy trying to fix Eric's tie and he was starting to get a little impatient. He could have sworn that he had been standing there for over ten minutes just waiting.

"Right that should do it,"

As his father backed off, Eric peered into a nearby mirror, somewhat pleased at what he saw.

"There's my handsome little boy," he heard his mother say as he continued to look at himself.

"Handsome? That's a little exaggerated," Eric thought to himself as he turned away from the mirror. Walking over to a nearby table he snapped his watch to his wrist while letting out a long sigh.

"Can we go now? I feel a little weird just wearing all of this," Eric grumbled, putting his paws into the pockets of his black dress pants.

"Let me take a photo first," his mother responded, holding up a camera.

Eric sighed and faked a smile as best he could just so the whole ordeal would be over as quickly as possible.

A silent car trip later and Eric was soon knocking on the front door of Chris's house, hoping that his father didn't pick up on the fact that he would be the only one turning up. A little lie goes a long way but when you're a terrible liar at times it gets really challenging to keep it going and not be discovered.

"Ah Eric there you are... we've been waiting for you," Chris beamed as he opened the door. The wolf looked at Chris carefully as he scanned the fox's suit, complete with white gloves, cane, top hat and monocle.

"I feel underdressed for once. Did you really have to get all of this?" Eric asked as he entered, making sure to take his dress shoes off at the door.

"Nah this is just for show sake. There's no way I'm coming in all of this crap!" Chris laughed as he placed the extras on a nearby table until he was just wearing the suit which he had hired, "Please follow me,"

Eric dumbly followed after Chris without another word, the fox leading Eric up to his bedroom.

"Now let's have a look at you," Chris started before shaking his head in disbelief.

"What? What's wrong?" Eric asked, clearly puzzled as to what was wrong with his ensemble. Chris merely approached Eric and undid his tie before retying it.

"Your tie is way too long. It sticks out from the bottom of your jacket and that just looks plain ugly," Chris told him.

Eric smiled for a brief second but it was enough for Chris to notice.

"So the one who never laughs, the one who never smiles finally does so, I've been waiting for this day. I want to thank you for making it seem complete," Chris whispered in a voice loud enough so that no eavesdroppers could hear. Eric blushed lightly as he heard this, his heart fluttering a little. Forcing himself to turn away he walked over to the window and looked out, his mind starting to wander a little.

"Eric... what's wrong? Is something troubling you?" Chris asked, walking behind the lupine.

"It's just... well. It's just other people. I mean you know how Steve reacts to your antics sometimes, what with his religion and all that. But he's one of the more tolerant ones. I mean what about everyone else?" Eric responded as he continued to stare out of the window.

"Eric... look at me," Chris commanded. Eric slowly turned to face Chris, his eyes focused on the ground. Raising Eric's face to his eye level, he made sure that Eric was looking at him square in the face before continuing.

"Eric look why do you think I have a lot of friends? It is not the fact that I'm gay; it is the fact that I am who I am. I'm not trying to impress anyone. It is because I'm not trying to be someone else who everyone likes. You have to stop thinking about what others might think of you. Some people may hate me for being a fag. I personally don't give a damn because most of them are retards anyway but the point is, be yourself and don't get upset about what others may think about you okay?" Chris told him, holding onto Eric's arms in an attempt to reassure the wolf. Eric looked out the window once more before nodding his understanding.

"There's a good boy," Chris muttered as he drew Eric into a hug. Going onto the tips of his toes, Eric pressed his lips to Chris's, closing his eyes as they kissed. The fox's soft lips felt blissful against his own, as their tongues gently met one another. Eric felt Chris's arms wrap around him and caress his back lovingly, the gentleness of his paws sending shivers up and down his spine. Eric started to grind his crotch slowly against Chris's, his heart pounding in his chest. The fox ran a paw down Eric's back, grasping one of his buttocks and giving it a little squeeze.

"Hey come on... we're going to be late," Chris breathed as he pulled away from Eric, ending the tender the moment the pair shared.

Sighing, Eric followed Chris downstairs, to where his family was waiting with a camera. They gave a cheer when they pair had reached the bottom, much to Eric's surprise.

"Ah so there's the happy couple! Come on and smile for the camera!" he heard Chris's father say.

"Wait happy couple?" Eric hissed in Chris's ear.

"I had to pull a few strings so we could take you. A little lie didn't hurt anyone right?" Chris responded before pulling Eric into a pose.

"Yeah sure, sure, just like that lie about inviting me and Alex over so you both could screw me silly after what you found on my computer!" Eric growled.

"Now from what I remember you enjoyed it that evening!"

Eric stayed silent. He couldn't think of a comeback for that statement. As he tried to think of something he failed to overhear the short exchange of words between Chris and his father.

"Come on Eric... let's go. Don't want to be late now do we?"

Half way to the Hyatt Regency, the location where his school was having their ball, Eric was starting to have second thoughts about turning up like this. He didn't even notice Chris snap his fingers in front of him.

"Eric... you alright?" Chris asked, giving Eric a firm shake.

"Huh... what? Oh ... well it's just... you know. I don't want to come off as bisexual just yet to the others," Eric replied. Chris shook his head, obviously his message from earlier hadn't gone through Eric's apparently thick skull.

"Eric what did I tell you earlier?"

Eric hesitated, "Not to care about what others thought about me?" he finally answered.

"And what are you doing?"

"Worrying about what others think of me..."

Chris nodded solemnly.

"You have to stop doing this!" Chris demanded.

"I'm just scared is all," Eric muttered.

"Don't worry you'll be fine," Chris told him, holding onto Eric's paw.

"Okay boys we're here," Chris's father announced.

"Showtime," Chris told Eric as he gestured for the wolf to leave first.

Getting out after Eric, Chris held onto the wolf's paw before walking up the stairs to the entrance of the Hyatt Regency. As they walked up the stairs Eric noticed one of his teachers with a camera filming them. Chris merely acknowledged the presence, acting like this event was nothing out of the ordinary. Eric marvelled at Chris's seemingly display of casualness to the situation. There was no way he could pass something off just like that! Smiling at the teacher he followed after Chris into the hall where they were collecting.

"Hey Chris and Eric are here!" he heard Alex call out. Eric and Chris parted as they followed after Alex to where the others were collecting. Eric saw the rest of his friends standing around chatting to one another and drinking various concoctions created by the staff at the Hyatt. Alex had come with Adriana as expected and she looked absolutely fabulous in her dark blue dress. Surprisingly enough Aaron had come with a girl as well, the panther having brought along a mouse as his date.

"Eric can I speak to you for a moment?" Alex muttered.

"What is it Alex?" the wolf asked.

"Did Chris ask you out... are you his date?" Alex asked.

"Yeah that's right. There a problem with that?" Eric responded; his tone of voice coming out as a little more hostile then he had anticipated. Alex was quick to defend himself by apologizing profusely for being so rude. He wasn't used to Eric being aggressive with him before so it came as quite a shock to him. As they returned to the group a coyote, probably no older than 20 or 21, walked around and handed a drink to both Chris and Eric. Thanking her Eric sipped at the drink as a sharply dressed raccoon passed by, his suit complemented by a top hat, white gloves, and walking stick.

"Jeez... Dean really put a lot of work into getting dressed up for tonight huh?" Eric muttered to Steve. The tiger merely chuckled at the comment.

"He's Head Boy. Of course he has to look the part!" Steve laughed.

"Yeah, such a shame you didn't get Head Boy though. I really could see you wearing all of that stuff... and there would be no doubt you'd look better in it as well,"

Draining the last of the fruit juice cocktail, Eric put it aside onto a nearby table when the doors opened and they were allowed into the room set aside for their ball. Following after Chris, Eric marvelled at the enormity of the room. It was easily as large as their gym if not larger with the tables set out in exquisite detail. Several weeks before the ball Eric had taken it upon himself to sort out the seating arrangement for their group, despite being told that it wouldn't make any difference. In the end he had the last laugh as the order in which he had them seated was the same as he had written down. Taking his own seat he smiled politely as Alex sat on one side of him while Chris sat on the other. As the group chatted amongst themselves a voice interrupted them and they all turned, falling silent.

"Good evening fellow students and teachers. Tonight we celebrate one of the greatest segments of Year 12. From the start of the year many of us were eagerly awaiting for this day to come. For over four years the greatest of all teachers have put up with us, watched us grow, develop and struggle. Now with less than one year left we are very well aware of the possible futures that await every single one of us and we will have our teachers to thank because of it. Tonight we thank the staff of the Hyatt Regency and the teachers of our school for their generosity and the many hours of planning that had gone into this one night. Let us make 2009 the best ball that our school has ever seen!"

The crowd applauded loudly as Eric leaned back in his seat. In the short ten minutes that he had been here, he was already satisfied with coming. As he sat through the next few speeches that various teachers had come up with, he glanced over to his right and saw Carla sitting at another table. Shaking his head once, he turned back, hoping that he hadn't been spotted.

"I'm sure at least some of you are hungry. The entree will be served shortly,"

"Something wrong?" Chris quietly asked him.

"No... nothing," Eric responded, gripping the fox's paw tightly underneath the table. Looking back up at the stage, Eric watched carefully as a tiger approached a small platform.

"Good evening ladies and gents. I am Fezik and I will be your DJ for tonight. We'll start things off with a little ambience before revving up into the hottest music for tonight. If you have any requests don't hesitate to come up and ask," the tiger smoothly said into a microphone before starting to play a soft but soothing tune through the speakers embedded throughout the room. Lowering his head, Eric played with the mobile phone in his pocket. He was feeling rather nervous for some reason, unknown even to him.

"Eric? You want a drink?" Alex asked him, passing a jug filled with Coke.

"Huh what? Oh right... yeah that'd be nice," the wolf responded as he leaned back and closed his eyes.

"Come on man stop worrying and enjoy yourself! Who cares if the others find out your bi! You're still you! You didn't get these friends by being someone else!" Eric told himself as his mind started to wander into the land of dreams.

The sound of a plate being placed in front of him brought him back to the plane of reality and after thanking the waiter, watched as nobody touched the food on their plates. Looking down at his plate, Eric got a possible explanation for this. Not being particularly fond of salad, the few pieces of sliced beef on the plate appeared to be the only thing that looked appetising.

"Where have you been?" Eric asked, hearing Chris slump into his seat beside him.

"Requesting a song for later," Chris responded, rubbing his nose with a paw.

"You didn't,"

"Oh but I did... and it's a song you should know very well," the fox mused, removing his jacket and draping it over his seat.

Eric had no idea as to what Chris was up to, but he would indeed find out soon enough as the ambient music gave way to something a little more energetic. The wolf watched as some students got up from their tables and made their way over to the dance floor.

"I wish I could do something as brave as that," Eric thought to himself as he gazed out onto the partially empty dance floor. The tables around him were alive with all sorts of chatter but the wolf paid any of the conversations little attention. Instead he found himself asking why he had bothered to turn up again.

The entree was quickly whisked away by the staff and promptly replaced with the main course, which sent all of the dancers scurrying back to their seats.

"Well at least the school councillors made a relatively good choice in food selection. Although it does seem weird to see rabbits tear into meat like that," Eric thought to himself as he looked up from his plate. He wasn't exactly sure of what he was going to be eating but from the looks of things, it looked like mashed potatoes, something called broccolini and roast chicken wrapped in bacon. A rather bizarre combination but it looked appetizing, something which could have been improved on in the entree.

His table ate mostly in silence, all of them more interested in the food in front of them rather than the conversation which was happening around them.

"Well that was rather tasty," Eric muttered.

"I don't know. I found the chicken a little too dry for my tastes," Alex responded.

"Huh... you never were fond of white meat. It doesn't surprise me," Chris laughed.

Half an hour passed and the music started to pick up in intensity. As some of the others started to get up from their tables, Eric merely watched as the others got up from their chairs and proceeded to make their way to the dance floor. Hearing Chris get up from beside him, he hesitated a little, causing the fox to pause in front of him.

"You wanna come dance with us?" he asked.

"I'll come out later... not now," Eric slowly answered.

"Alright then... but I want to see you shaking that tail tonight okay?"

The wolf watched on in silence, as the fox followed the others onto the dance floor. The music changed to something a little more upbeat as Eric left his jacket draped over his chair. As he leaned back, he stared up at the ceiling for a moment, watching the many lights constantly changing colour from one hue to another.

"What am I doing?" he asked himself before locating his friends among the throng of students, "I might as well join them,"

Getting up from his seat, Eric slowly made his way through the group to where he had spotted Chris, the fox being one of the taller ones among the dancers.

"Hey finally decided to come out huh?" Chris asked.

"Yeah I guess... I was feeling kinda lonely all by myself," Eric murmured in response.

"You'll never be lonely around us... I guarantee it," the fox whispered in a voice barely audible to the wolf.

It wasn't long before Eric and the others returned to their seats for a drink and a chat.

"So who was right about you enjoying yourself?" Alex smirked as he sipped slowly at his drink.

"Fine I admit it, you were right and I was wrong... as usual," Eric responded.

"Oh come on, I was only playing with you! Don't take it too seriously!" the fox quickly added as he noticed Eric's downcast expression. Eric chuckled quietly to himself as he watched Chris and Adriana take turns to whack Alex on the back of his head, the both of them berating the fox for his insensitive comment.

"No guys really its fine... you don't have to beat him up over it," Eric quickly cut in, hoping that the violence didn't escalate into something more dangerous.

As the song changed, Eric's ears perked up as the first few bars of Y.M.C.A started to play through the speakers.

"Come on!" Chris cried as he grabbed onto Eric's arm and dragged him onto the dance floor. Before he could protest, Eric watched as Chris climbed up onto the stage, leaving him to stand in the middle of the dance floor among a whole group of other students. Behind him, the others also got up from their seats as they made their way to the dance floor behind him. Looking up at the stage in front of the DJ were six students, Chris being the stand-out amongst the other five males. The fox was holding onto a microphone and tapping his foot in time with the music. In a voice which he had never heard the fox use before, Chris started to strut across the stage, singing in tune with the song lyrics. It was simply mesmerising to see all six of them singing and dancing in time with the music.

"Young man, there's no need to feel down,

I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground,

I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town,

There's no need to be unhappy!

Young man, there's a place you can go,

I said, young man, when you're short on your dough,

You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find,

Many ways to have a good time,"

Letting the music take control of him, Eric couldn't help but go along with the crowd, making the gestures while lip-synching to the words as the chorus was about to start. On stage, coloured spot lights started to flash on and off as the six furs led by Chris started to make the actions.

"It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.

They have everything for you men to enjoy,

You can hang out with all the boys...

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.

You can get yourself cleaned; you can have a good meal

You can do whatever you feel..."

Unaware that his friends had come to join him, Eric could easily have been seen from where Chris was singing, strutting up and down the stage without a care in the world. As the others joined the wolf on the dance floor, the fox transfixed a sharp gaze on the dancing Eric, the wolf being the next part of his repertoire as the yellow lights shone onto his fur and highlighting it. As the next part of the song was about to start, he pointed out towards Eric, hoping that the wolf would pause from partying long enough to notice.

"Young man, are you listening to me?

I said, young man, what do you want to be?

I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.

But you've got to know this one thing!

No man does it all by himself.

I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,

And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A.

I'm sure they can help you today"

"Hey Eric... look up at the stage," Alex whispered, bumping Eric's elbow just enough to get the wolf's attention. Turning around, Eric watched as Chris started to approach him while still carrying the microphone. The dancing students parted as the fox approached Eric, still carrying the microphone. The wolf paused, curious as to what was going to happen next.

"Young man, I was once in your shoes.

I said, I was down and out with the blues.

I felt no man cared if I were alive.

I felt the whole world was so jive..."

As Chris walked up to Eric, the wolf realized that everyone else had given him a wide berth, watching and waiting for what would happen next. As the fox strutted over, Eric looked around for an avenue of escape only to find that he was entirely blocked off. As Chris held out a paw Eric threw all of his doubts out the window. Who cared if everyone saw!

"That's when; someone came up to me,

And said, young man, take a walk up the street.

There's a place there called the Y.M.C.A.

They can start you back on your way,"

Holding onto Chris's paw tightly, Eric followed the fox back up onto the stage, his heart thumping in his chest. Not used to being the centre of attention he found himself at a loss as to what to do and stood on stage dumbly for a few moments, waiting for the chorus to begin, following the actions of the other five dancers on stage.

"It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A"

Young man, young man there's no need to feel down

Young man, young man pick yourself off the ground

Y-M-C-A

Then just go to the Y-M-C-A!"

As the song ended, Chris and the others bowed to raucous applause, many of them cheering and praising Chris's singing ability.

"Hey guys let's give a round of applause for the dancers huh? They did a fantastic job up here," Chris called out as the crowd applauded loudly.

"Here man... thanks for the mike," Chris told the DJ as he handed the microphone back.

"No probs kid. You've got a good voice, ever thought of going pro?" the DJ asked.

"Nah... I've got all I need right here," Chris laughed, grabbing a hold of Eric's arm in the process. The tiger laughed as he proceeded to change the song to something higher in energy.

"Heh don't let that one go. I still remember the first boyfriend I ever had. Yeah he was a sweetheart,"

Climbing off the stage with Chris, the both of them walked towards the centre where the other students parted for them. Many of the students congratulated Chris on his superb singing skills, something which led Eric to believe that the fox had been practicing the song for a while in the privacy of his own bedroom as Chris wasn't known for singing beforehand. In fact at a party the previous year he had one of the lowest scores on Singstar, even lower than Eric, which was really saying something.

As the music slowly lulled from its high intensity to something much slower, most of the students started to slowly return to their seats. It was mainly couples who had remained on the dance floor with Eric and Chris amongst them. Grabbing onto Eric's paws gently, Chris pulled the wolf close to him as they started to dance a slow waltz. Eric purred gently as he rested his head on the fox's chest, letting Chris lead and following his movements accordingly. His initial apprehension to simply being with Chris started to fade as Eric became aware of the fact that nobody around him could have cared less he was dancing with another male. There was somebody watching however, someone he would never have suspected.

"I guess I was wrong," Eric murmured, as he nuzzled Chris's chest lovingly.

"You ain't seen nothing yet my boy. I've got a whole evening planned out for us," the fox responded

"Oh, really? Well there is no doubt you'll be keeping me in suspense then,"

Chris smiled evilly as gently rubbed against Eric's crotch, being a blush to the wolf's face.

"You know... you look kinda cute when you're blushing like that," Chris mused.

"Oh stop it! You're not helping!" Eric hissed, his face going a deeper shade of red.

"Whoever said I was trying to help you?" the fox smiled as he discreetly gave Eric's ass a grope. Eric eeped quietly as he suddenly felt Chris's paw run over his ass and he started batting at Chris's chest as he pushed the fox away to the edge of the dance floor.

The fox put up no resistance to the lupine as he was pushed back towards their table, the tableside banter having continued while the both of them were dancing.

"Anyone who wants to have a photo please report outside," a voice called out across the loudspeaker.

Chris looked in Eric's direction before gesturing with his intention with his head. The wolf contemplated the action briefly before reluctantly following after Chris. As they left the main ballroom the fox quickly turned, sensing that Eric was merely following him like a puppy-dog and not making decisions for himself.

"I don't want to force you into anything. If you don't want a photo together that's fine really," Chris mentioned, holding onto one of Eric's shoulders.

"B...but I want to," Eric hesitantly responded.

"Photo for you two gentlemen?" asked one of the photographers, the snow leopard eyeing the both of them carefully. Before either of them could respond, the leopard shoved them in front of a bluish cloudy background.

"Alright you," he started, pointing at Eric, "hold onto your partner's hips and lay your head on his chest," while you, now pointing at Chris, "Wrap your arms around him. That's it! Beautiful!"

As the both of them looked at the camera, Eric noticed a few others glancing at them.

"Don't look, don't acknowledge the fact that you know they're looking," Eric told himself as he buried his head in Chris's chest.

"Hey come on, we're done," Chris whispered as he led Eric back inside.

By now the music had started up again and the others had already returned the dance floor. As the pair followed to where the others were, Eric gently eased Chris towards a less busy area of the dance floor. The fox gave a questioning glance but did nothing to impede the change in plans. All Eric wanted was merely another dance away from the others.

"Well at least he is lightening up. Although whether it is authentic, sleep deprivation or a sugar high I honestly have no idea," Chris thought to himself as the both of them danced away from the main group. Minutes passed and before long, Chris found himself feeling extremely dehydrated and in need of something to drink.

"Hey I'm gonna get a drink, would you mind waiting here for a sec?" Chris asked. As Eric watched the fox leave the dance floor. His tail gave a twitch as a chill suddenly washed over him.

"So you're Chris's new little boy-toy. What a douche! Why the hell did he choose you of all things for a boyfriend?" said a voice from behind him. Eric turned, trying his best to hide the feelings of contempt that was starting to run through his body. He eyed the wolverine warily, the apparently well muscled fur standing a good half foot taller than he did.

"What's your name kid?" the wolverine growled.

"Eric," the wolf responded, trying his best not to look intimidated.

"Eric huh... pretty tough name for a little twink like you!" the wolverine laughed as he shoved Eric violently backwards. Stumbling over the leg of another student, Eric fell on his back with a soft thud, his eyes starting to show fragments of fear coupled with anger.

"I can't believe that he would go for a poor schmuck like you! What a prick!"

"Hey you leave Eric alone,"

As Eric got to his feet, an enraged Chris strode over, the wolf taking cover behind the more dominant fox.

"We have nothing to say to one another Kyle but I won't stand by with you threatening Eric like this. Take a hike and don't let me catch you threatening him ever again!" Chris hissed at the wolverine. Kyle gave the pair a dirty look.

"You always felt sorry for the weak and pathetic ones. You could have had someone better," the wolverine snarled before stalking off.

Chris watched as Kyle quickly left before turning back to the cowering wolf behind him.

"You alright?" Chris asked gently as he removed some dust from Eric's shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm fine... I think I've had enough dancing for one night," Eric muttered as he followed Chris back to their table.

"What was that all about?" Eric asked.

"I had hoped that this wouldn't have happened. Kyle was my ex before I left him in year 9. He turned out too aggressive for my tastes, never cared about my opinions... that sort of thing,"

Eric was perplexed; he had been guilty of those kinds of things in the past and it made him wonder what Chris saw in him.

"Then why chase after me? I'm nothing special, hell if anything else I'm guilty of those crimes as well,"

"Eric there is something you must learn about yourself before coming to any conclusions. Sure you are brash at times and downright insensitive at others, but the one thing you do that Kyle or a lot of others actually, is listen. You must do something about your low self-esteem. Nobody likes a person who is depressed all the time,"

Eric mulled this over in his mind for a while. Chris was right at this point and Eric had an inkling that both Chris and Alex were conspiring against him in some way. His past was something he never divulged to the others and constantly explained his present day behaviour.

"Please excuse me," Eric murmured as he left the ballroom to go to the bathroom.

Pushing the door aside, Eric let a horse and a tiger pass him before entering. Splashing his face with some water, Eric smoothed down some fur which was sticking up at an odd angle before looking at his reflection in the mirror. As it stared back at him, his mind started to wander back to what Chris had said to him.

"It's so quiet out here. I guess it explains why Eric came out. Probably would help him think I guess," Chris thought as he left the ballroom in search of Eric. As he followed someone else into the bathroom, he hung back a little as he caught sight of the wolf staring at his reflection. He didn't want to be the one to make the first move.

"You can come out Chris... I know you're there," Eric called out, not looking away from the mirror.

A little stunned that he had been discovered so quickly, Chris came out from behind a wall and placed a paw on Eric's shoulder.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Um... yeah... just fine," Eric mumbled, his gaze now turning to the floor. Disappointed with the answer, Chris spun Eric around until the wolf was facing him. Holding onto the wolf's shoulders with both of his paws he spoke in a solemn yet gentle voice.

"No Eric, look at me... really tell me how you feel. Don't sugar coat it, tell me how you honestly feel,"

Eric trembled slightly as the fox's strong grip held onto his shoulders. With great difficulty, he forced himself to look Chris square in the eye before answering.

"It was that sudden confrontation. I didn't expect that... I feel so vulnerable all of a sudden,"

Eric shivered a little as Chris hugged him, the fox's head resting atop his own.

"Don't worry, as long as you're with me, Kyle will never bother you again. I'll make sure of that," Chris whispered. Getting up on the tips of his toes, Eric pressed his lips against Chris's, closing his eyes as he kissed the taller fox. Wrapping his arms around Eric, Chris slowly edged the wolf back into a vacant toilet cubicle. As he closed the door behind him, he carefully undid Eric's trousers, rubbing the wolf's ballsack through his underwear, eliciting a muffled moan in response. Chris then broke the kiss and nipped gently at Eric's neck. Eric gasped as he was held against the wall of the cubicle, a shiver running through his body as Chris nibbled at his neck.

"Ahh god... what if someone hears us?" Eric mumbled

"Then we'll have to be extra quiet then won't we?" came the response as Chris quickly started to kiss Eric once more, pushing his tongue past Eric's lips.

"Well at least he knows how to shut me up!" Eric thought to himself as he felt Chris's paw slowly move up and down along his hardening member. A bead of pre formed at the tip as he started to thrust slowly into Chris's paw. Getting onto his knees, Chris rubbed Eric's cock a few times before starting to gently lick the tip. The fox continued to tease Eric with his tongue for a few minutes, something which felt like an eternity for the wolf.

"Hey stop teasing me will ya? You're gonna make me go soft!" Eric hissed.

"Tease... you don't know the meaning of the word tease!" Chris smiled as the fox's lips passed over the head of Eric's member and slid down halfway. Eric let out a muffled moan as he bit his lip to prevent from making too much noise. The fox sucked on Eric's cock forcefully, not only causing Eric to let out a lustful moan but also causing his knees to buckle a little. Running a paw through Chris's hair, Eric started to slowly inch his cock further into Chris's mouth, as he held onto the back of the fox's head. Eric shuddered as Chris's warm mouth surrounded his cock, the fox's lips sliding up and down along his shaft. Closing his eyes, Eric panted lightly as he slid his cock in before slowing removing it, savouring the feeling of Chris's tongue along his engorged member.

"God that's good," the wolf murred as he continued to thrust in and out of Chris's maw, his impending orgasm threatening to make a mess on the fox's face. Without warning though, Chris suddenly pulled off Eric's cock, giving it one last lick before tucking it back into Eric's pants.

"Hey why'd you stop?" the wolf moaned.

"I'm saving this for later," Chris smiled, rubbing Eric's cock through his trousers before leaving the bathroom, pausing only to wash his paws in the basin.

"You cheeky bastard!" Eric thought bitterly as fought off the urge to paw and walked a little unsteadily back to the ballroom.

Unaware of the time that had elapsed during which he had enjoyed Chris's mouth, Eric was a little surprised to find that very little time was left remaining of the ball itself. Only half an hour actually remained and that was primarily concerned with a thank you for all of the staff involved and the DJ who had agreed to play the music for them that night. Many rounds of raucous applause rang out from the students as many of them walked outside in a sugar induced high. Eric looked at his watch briefly as he enjoyed the cool night air, 12:30 am, a little bit later than expected but still relatively good timing. He didn't have long to enjoy the crisp air though as he was quickly dragged inside by Chris in the fox's search for their peers.

"So Eric my good man, was tonight a waste of money or not?" Alex asked, the fox leaning against a wall as he ran a paw though his headfur. Eric scratched his head sheepishly as he gave this some thought. If he considered Chris's actions then it turned a good night into an incredible one, not counting Chris's plans for later on in the night.

"Um... yeah I guess so," the wolf reluctantly admitted. Alex made the image of a gun on his right paw and pretended to blow smoke away from the barrel of the weapon.

"Oh yeah... looks like I win again," the fox mused as he looked out of the double doors, "Well our ride is here. So you guys know the plan for tonight then?"

"Yeah I got it. You'd better deliver on it though, you'd better bring your A-game," Chris responded.

"Fine then, ten bucks for the one who wins the most rounds in tonight's Halo 3... deal?"

As both Chris and Eric waved the others goodbye as they left all at once in their hired limousine, Eric couldn't help but notice what sort of a gambler that Chris happened to be.

"Dude, ten bucks? Is it really worth doing well in a game for money?" Eric asked.

"Eric, look at it this way. Alex has been snubbing me for reasons I don't know. Chances are I said something dumb and don't know what it is so it's fun to scrounge cash off him. That and he constantly claims he can beat me easily in any console shooter which I am more than willing to fight over,"

Eric's gaze fell to the ground, of all the stupid things to fight over it had to be who was better at a shooter? Fatigue though was starting to get the better of him however and it wasn't long before his mind started to shut down due to a lack of energy. As the pair sat on a bench nearby, Eric yawned loudly as he nestled his head in Chris's lap, the fox taking the chance to run a paw through the wolf's headfur.

"Hey come on sleepy head, our ride is here,"

Eric mumbled something incomprehensible in response, obviously displeased at having been woken from his short nap. Chris let out a quiet sigh; he wasn't going to get Eric to move at this rate.

"Dad can you help me get Eric to the car?" the fox asked, spotting his father climbing the steps.

"Sure, you grab one arm I'll take the other," the older male responded as the both of them helped the sleepy wolf into the backseat. Eric didn't even notice what was happening to him and as a result, he slept all the way on the trip back to Chris's house.

"Hey, Eric you're not going to have any fun unless you wake up you now," Chris muttered, as he opened up one of Eric's eyes before slapping the wolf across the face.

"Ahh... damn I'm up! I'm up!" Eric groaned as he blearily opened his eyes. As Chris's face suddenly filled his gaze, Eric quickly took his chance and whacked the fox with as much strength as he could.

"Alright... I deserved that," Chris admitted as he rubbed the side of his face ruefully.

"Let's just go inside," Eric grumbled as he opened the door and climbed out.

Greeting Chris's parents properly, he waited for the fox to lead him downstairs, where his gear had already been placed for his convenience. Taking some things out of his bag, he caught sight of Chris changing behind him, the more shapely fox almost teasing Eric with his body. As he continued to stare, the one thing that caught his eye was the blue thong that contrasted against the fox's russet coloured fur. Eric's breathing quickened slightly as dirty images started to form in his mind.

"You know you can stop staring at my ass any moment now," Chris called out as he pulled a shirt over his head. Eric's face flushed as he started to change, cursing his rather apparent lack of skill in voyeurism. As he hung up his suit on a coat hanger, the wolf changed into a loose shirt and shorts. While he was pouring through his bag for his toothbrush, he felt an Xbox 360 controller being nudged against his chest.

"Just put it down on the ground I'll be with you in a minute," Eric muttered. He heard a sigh come from the fox as Chris spoke into a headset. Finding his toothbrush down at the bottom of his bag, Eric grabbed a hold of the controller and sat down next to Chris, the fox having ditched his shirt and chosen to go without wearing anything apart from the thong below his waist.

"Dude aren't you gonna put some pants on or something?" Eric asked as they connected to the game which Alex had set up moments earlier.

"Hey not so loud! This headset is a lot more sensitive than you think and I don't want Alex to know," Chris hissed.

"Yeah come on Eric, be a sport! I'm pretty sure Chris has plans for you that don't involve pants!" came the muffled voice of Alex.

"Hush you! Nobody asked for your opinion!" Chris hissed as the match started and the free-for-all carnage began.

The violent carnage raged throughout the night for over an hour. If it wasn't a shotgun to the face or an assassination from a sword it was a headshot from a sniper rifle or a beat down with an assault rifle.

"They're coming from behind us!" Eric muttered as he swung the warthog his character was driving in a tight circle. Chris snickered slightly at the comment as the elite fired the on-board minigun, taking out their pursuer.

"Oh yeah, score one for us!" Chris laughed into his headset as the match ended, taunting Alex on the other end of the headset. Stretching his paws a little, Eric headed upstairs from where they were in the basement for a glass of water. It was eerily quiet as Eric padded into the kitchen. The light had been kept on just in case either of them needed something and he barely noticed the food which had been left out for them if they were feeling hungry.

"Well that was nice of Chris's parents to prepare something for us," Eric thought as he washed the cup, "Although I wonder if we'll ever be hungry enough to actually eat anything,"

Wandering back downstairs, Eric took his seat again and picked up the controller, blinking a few times as his eyes readjusted to the lighting.

"We're switching to Last Man standing alright," Chris told him.

"Alright then... what map?"

"Rat's Nest,"

Eric let out a sigh as he reclined in his seat next to Chris. He was never good at Last Man Standing. Unlike in real life, he would often charge out onto a map guns blazing and be promptly taken down with a headshot. It would have been alright if they were playing Capture the Flag or something to that like where dying didn't matter. As usual when the game started he lasted about five minutes before having his last life snatched away from him by a plasma grenade. He did end up taking away one of Alex's lives by walking into him as the grenade detonated but it did little to appease him. Reduced to flying around the map, Eric watched as the players killed one another until only Chris and Alex were left in the game with one life each. The wolf watched Chris's screen as the Elite reloaded the rocket launcher and ran around the map, trying to find the remaining Spartan.

"Come on you bastard where are ya?" Chris murmured, his right index finger ready to press the fire button. Seeing the determined look on the fox's face, an evil thought surfaced in his mind... he did owe the fox a blowjob after all.

Getting up, Eric casually leaned over to where Chris was comfortably reclining, the fox not noticing what intention the wolf had in mind. It wasn't until he felt his thong being slid down did he have any idea of what was going on.

"Eric... now isn't the time!" Chris warned, not taking his eyes off the television screen. The wolf wasn't interested in the fox's petty protestations and started to suck on the fox's ballsack. Chris let out a gasp as he felt Eric's tongue dance along his balls, his cock visibly hardening in front of the wolf.

"I owed you a blowjob didn't I? I didn't say when you could have it though," Eric muttered as he gave the fox's cock a gentle squeeze.

"Eric I swear to God if you start blowing me now and I lose the game because of it, I am going to kick your ass you understand? There's ten dollars riding on this match!" Chris grumbled, having seemingly forgotten about the headset which was still active.

More than willing to take the risk, Eric quickly took half of Chris's member into his mouth, sucking gently on it at first before starting to use an increasing amount of suction.

"Oh... fuck... you," the fox grunted as a shiver ran down Chris's spine.

As an evil smile broke out on Eric's face, the wolf suddenly stopped sucking without warning, merely giving the fox's cock the odd teasing lick every now and then.

"If my work isn't appreciated then why should I continue?" Eric asked innocently as rolled Chris's member in between his paws. Chris gritted his teeth as he fought back the urge to start thrusting in between Eric's paws, trying to keep as much of his concentration on the game as possible.

"No comment huh? Well we'll soon see about that!" Eric whispered as he gripped Chris's cock firmly with a paw before gently circling the head with his tongue. Eric felt Chris tense slightly, the fox seemingly enraptured simultaneously by both the game and Eric's ministrations. When Eric started to knead Chris's ballsack with his free paw however, the fox seemingly gave in to desire and bucked reflexively, surprising Eric and almost causing him to gag. Holding Chris's hips down forcefully with his paws, Eric bobbed his head over the fox's cock, eliciting a muffled moan from a somewhat agitated Chris.

"I got you now!" Chris whispered weakly as he saw Alex's character walk past him on screen. Knowing that he didn't have much time left, Eric quickly redoubled his efforts, quickly deepthroating the fox's cock, his lips just nudging against Chris's knot which had now formed. Chris swallowed loudly in a vain attempt to prevent himself from cumming, doing so taking a lot of concentration away from the Halo 3 match and causing the elite to lose all of his shields. The fox swore loudly as his paws fumbled clumsily with the controller, his body shivering, his breathing becoming short and shallow as his cock throbbed inside of Eric's mouth.

"Come on! Cum for me!" Eric muttered as he licked Chris's member from base to tip before pumping it rapidly between his paws. He was well rewarded as Chris came, cum splattering all over his face and the game announcer's voice calling out, "suicide, game over", the fox having blown himself up with a misfired rocket.

"I... am... going... to... kill... you!" Chris breathed as he let the controller drop onto the floor with a clatter, not bothering to look at the mess he had painted Eric's face with. The sound of laughter over the headset roused Chris up from his stupor, the taunting voice echoing in his ears.

"That's game, set and match Chris! I expect the cash on Monday," Alex laughed.

"Oh screw you Alex! Don't make me wonder if the price was worth losing ten bucks over," Chris grunted into the mike.

"If Eric did what I think he did, I'd say yeah!" came the response.

Chris looked over at Eric, his cum sticking all over the wolf's face as Eric poked his tongue out at the fox.

"I think me and Eric are done playing for tonight," Chris said, gesturing to Eric to clean up what he had started, something which the wolf did rather willingly.

"Moving onto more raunchy stuff?"

"Shut up you don't know that! Come on Eric say your goodbye to Alex,"

Eric let out a muffled goodbye from around Chris's cock which Alex only barely picked up before the connection was severed.

"You, shower, now!" Chris growled, gesturing for Eric to follow him.

Without a word, Eric quietly followed after Chris, being careful not to trip on anything in the darkened house until the both of them reached the bathroom. As Chris locked the door behind him, the pair locked their lips together in a short embrace before stripping each other off. Chris wasn't surprised to find Eric already hard and he took his chance to fondle the wolf's cock gently as they stepped into the shower. Turning on the water, the fox gently washed away the cum which clung to Eric's face, taking care not to get any of it into the wolf's eyes.

"Why didn't you swallow it like you usually do?" Chris asked, feeling Eric's member rub against his thigh. The wolf shrugged.

"I wanted to try something different. It looks like it got you really horny this time around," Eric responded, placing his cock between Chris's legs and thrusting slowly with his hips.

"Looks like I'm not the only one who got horny off that," Chris smiled, removing the last remnant of cum off Eric's face, before running his paws down Eric's body. The wolf shivered slightly as Chris's gentle paws paused to massage his ass.

"Now to finish what I started earlier," Chris muttered as he slid down Eric's body and settled down near Eric's member. The fox pumped Eric's cock a few times with his paws before taking a long, teasing lick.

"You are going to let me do that right?" Chris asked in a sly manner, giving Eric's member a tight squeeze. Chris could barely make out a moaned 'yes' in response to his question, the constant beating of water on his head drowning out everything else. Playing with the wolf's ballsack for a few moments, Eric let out a short gasp as the fox sucked on the head of his cock. Placing a paw on Chris's head, Eric slowly started to thrust with his hips, the fox's tongue running along the underside of his throbbing member. Chris was more than a little surprised to find how big Eric was that night, his memory of the wolf's cock obviously differing from what was currently sliding in between his lips.

"I'm going to have to tease you a lot more in future," Chris said in a muffled voice as a finger slipped underneath Eric's tail and rubbed against his tailhole.

"Less talking more sucking," Eric growled as he thrust himself in deeply, a bead of pre sliding down Chris's throat. Eric growled quietly as Chris started to deepthroat him, the fox's warm mouth sending shivers down the wolf's spine. It wouldn't be long before Chris once again pulled off with other thoughts in mind.

"Oh... what now?" Eric whined as the fox turned around and wiggled his ass in front of the wolf.

"You don't want a piece of this?" Chris taunted, his tail swishing back and forth in front of the wolf. Eric reached out and firmly grabbed a hold of the fox's posterior, the head of his cock nudging against Chris's tailhole.

"Oh I want a piece of that ass alright," Eric hissed as he pressed the head firmly against Chris.

"Dude... lube up first,"

"I was getting to that!"

Looking around the shower cubicle, the wolf picked up a bottle of body wash and generously covered his cock with the fluid. He then a finger with the liquid and slowly ran it around the base of Chris's tail. The fox inhaled sharply he let Eric's finger slowly push into him, spreading the makeshift lube inside his ass. Once satisfied that he had applied enough, Eric removed his finger and pressed his cock head once more against to Chris's tailhole. Wanting to get back at the fox for what he had done earlier, Eric merely applied enough force to keep Chris in suspense, purposely not pushing the head of his member inside of the ass before him. He felt Chris tense slightly as he applied a little more pressure, slowly pushing himself in until he was fully inside of the fox's ass.

"Damn man... you've never felt so big before," Chris moaned as he braced himself against the wall, the cock in his ass giving a throb inside of him. Eric ignored the comment as he started to thrust slowly, enjoying the warmth and tightness of Chris's ass. The wolf let out a soft growl as he gripped Chris's hardening cock in a paw and stroked it in time with his thrusting. Disappointed that the fox was enjoying this so much, Eric pulled himself out completely, drawing a whine from Chris which soon turned into an eep of surprise as the wolf gripped his member tightly and tugged gently on his ballsack. Chris clenched his teeth tightly as the feeling of emptiness swept over him like a shadow. Feeling Eric's member start to nudge against his tailhole once more, Chris started to push back in an attempt to feel Eric inside of him. Eric wasn't having any of that though and tugged on Chris's ballsack a little more aggressively.

"If you want to get fucked then I suggest that you let me lead," Eric whispered, rubbing his cock in between Chris's ass cheeks before thrusting back in, not stopping until he was hilted inside of the fox. Seizing the fox's ass with his paws, the wolf gave a series of short thrusts, leaving half of his cock inside of the fox before driving it back in at an ever increasing pace.

"Ah... jeez man... slow down a bit. You've been rather pent up lately haven't you?"Chris remarked

"You could say that yeah," Eric admitted as he kept the thrusting at a reasonable rate.

Chris's ears folded back as he heard this, the answer not particularly surprising him.

"I thought as much,"

Altering the rhythm of his thrusting, Eric heard Chris let out a lustful moan as he buried his cock deep inside of the fox. Leaving his cock embedded inside Chris, Eric slowly started to grind his hips against the fox's backside, Chris's ass gripping his cock like a vice.

"I thought I loosened you a bit... why so tight?" Eric asked as he started thrusting again.

"You know you love it babe," Chris moaned as he pushed back against Eric's crotch, the feeling of fullness sending tingles down his spine. Eric didn't argue with that as the fox's ass squeezed his throbbing member. The wolf struggled to fight back an impending orgasm, as he continued to pump himself into Chris's tightening hole. His cock gave another throb inside of Chris as Eric could feel his knees start to buckle. As he slid in and out faster and faster the wolf couldn't take it much more and he let a moan of pleasure as he came inside of the fox, his warm cum coating Chris's insides. He thrust inside once more as the last spurt left his cock, basking in his orgasm as felt Chris's tailhole milk his member for every drop of cum. He slowly withdrew his cock from the fox's ass, letting the water from the shower head wash it clean.

"You haven't had sex in a long time have you?" Chris breathed as the wolf's cum slowly leaked out of his tailhole.

"It's been a while yeah," Eric finally answered, as he hugged Chris tightly before gently rubbing the fox's hardening cock.

"Well you've had your fun... let me have mine," Chris laughed as he reached out for a towel on a nearby rack.

With nobody else up at that time of hour, Chris was more than confident about leading Eric back into the basement without bothering to put any clothes on. The wolf was a little hesitant though and used his own clothes to cover himself up and they made their way back downstairs. There would be no need for formalities and Chris was very quick to act upon it. Taking the wolf's clothes from him, Chris threw it onto a pile on the floor before pulling the wolf in for a passionate kiss. The fox's cock rubbed gently against Eric's ballsack, prompting the wolf to slowly reach down and rub it gently with a paw. A small bead of pre formed at the tip of Chris's shaft as they slowly shuffled over to the makeshift beds, the fox pulling Eric on top of him as they continued their loving embrace. When Chris broke the kiss he stared at Eric's eyes for a moment before blinking a few times.

"Get on all fours for me for a moment. I want to try something new with you,"

Eric looked at Chris questioningly but said nothing as he got off the fox and got onto his knees, lifting his tail in the air.

Chris chuckled slightly at this as he dug around in a small box which he had hidden nearby from his parents. Taking out a bottle of lube and a small vibrator, the fox smeared the canine shaped vibrator with the lubricant before setting it aside. Taking a few straps from the box, he attached them to the vibrator before turning his attention back to the wolf beside him. Gently rubbing Eric's right buttock, the fox slid underneath the wolf and started to play with his ballsack. Eric moaned quietly, biting his lip to prevent himself from making too much noise.

"This isn't anything new... what did you have in mind?" Eric asked, his cock hardening once more.

"Just wait I'm getting to it," Chris mused as he strapped the vibrator against the wolf's shaft, "Such an impatient wolf, you're making me wonder if I should bother at all!"

Before Eric could respond, Chris turned the vibrator onto the lowest setting, drawing out a soft whimper as the vibrations sent shockwaves of pleasure through his exhausted body.

"How long have you had this?" Eric moaned.

"About a week... I found it somewhere which you don't wanna know," Chris responded before settling behind Eric. The wolf knew better than to press the issue however and leaned forward as the pulsations drew some pre from the tip of his cock. The next thing he felt was Chris's tongue pressing up against his tailhole and the wolf bit his lip as the new sensations rippled through his body. The fox's tongue danced gently over his exposed hole and Eric let out a soft whine of appreciation as Chris's tongue entered him. The wolf trembled slightly as Chris soon replaced his tongue with a finger, slowly loosening the wolf as the fox moved his finger inside of Eric. When Chris had decided that Eric was finally loose enough, he slowly slid his finger out of the wolf, taking the time to slowly cover his shaft in lube before pressing it up against Eric's tailhole.

"You ready?" Chris whispered. Eric moaned a lustful yes as he started to push back against the fox's shaft. Eric let out a soft gasp as the head slowly pushed into him, followed by the rest of Chris's rigid member. His ass clenched tightly around Chris's erection as the fox eventually hilted inside of the wolf. It took a minute or so to get used to the sensation once more and Chris was willing enough to wait before slowly thrusting, pulling out until he was half-way in before slowly thrusting all the way in again. Eric trembled slightly as he felt the weight of Chris falling onto his back, the fox wrapping his arms around the wolf's chest and midsection as he made a series of short rapid thrusts, his knot nudging against Eric's tailhole with every thrust. The warmth of Chris's body pressing against his felt wondrous for the young wolf, a feeling that he didn't want to end as he felt Chris's shaft gently rubbing against his prostate. Eric let out a quiet groan as he felt the vibrator increase in intensity, his entire body quivering as Chris continued to pump into him.

"Come on Eric, up you get," Chris murmured as he slid out of the wolf. Lying down on one of the mattresses, he pulled Eric on top of him, gently rubbing the wolf's throbbing member with his paws. The wolf let out a murr of pleasure as he positioned himself over Chris's cock, the head poking his tailhole a few times before Eric slid down the engorged shaft.

"Go at your own pace man... I want you to enjoy yourself," Chris told him, as he handed the remote for the vibrator to Eric. The wolf shakily took the remote and placed it to the side as some pre came to the tip of his throbbing member and slid down the underside. Turning the knob up to the second highest setting, he let out a whimper as the vibrations surged through him. His tailhole clenched around Chris's member eliciting a gasp from the fox. Holding Chris down with his paws, Eric started to slowly ride the fox's cock, the gentle pulses of the fox's shaft complementing the throbbing of his own cock. Eric let out a soft groan as he started to pick up speed, sliding along Chris's shaft as his ass clenched it intermittently. Some pre ran down Eric's member as the wolf ripped off the vibrator and started to rub his engorged member furiously with a paw. Gripping Eric's hips firmly, Chris did a few long hard thrusts before slowly pushing his knot inside of the horny wolf, his cock rubbing against Eric's prostate. This quickly pushed Eric over the edge and he let out a howl as he shot his warm cum all over Chris's chest, his ass clutching the fox's shaft like a vice. Drawing a murr of pleasure from the fox, Eric could feel Chris's cock spasm inside of him before feeling the fox's warm sticky seed coat his insides. Collapsing on top of Chris, Eric snuggled up to the fox, inadvertently smearing his cum all over himself in the process.

"So... did you enjoy tonight?" Chris asked, gently rubbing one of Eric's shoulders.

"Yeah... I guess I did," Eric smiled as they fell asleep in one another's arms.
