What is metal anyway?

Retsuko goes to the karaoke bar and inadvertently runs into Hiada. After a bit of awkwardness, they both go into a bar and sing a few songs and drink. The drinks turn into a lot. Soon enough things slip out and some banging happens. F.

I wrote this because Camotli posted an animation featuring everyone's favourite red panda and in a bout of alcohol infused inspiration started bashing it out while catching up to the second season and movie. Seriously I watch one season and blink and suddenly there's more? Fuckers.

If there's any plot holes or bits where it's disjointed it's because I ran over a few small revisions to it as I got further into season 2, like a smarty pants. I wanted to try something a little different and emulate the exaggerate feel of the show's slice of life-ness. I'm not exactly sure I did it because we're talking animation vs word play but either way I'd love to know how I did :D

It's not needed for the story in anyway but Anarchy in the UK by sex pistols is what I imagined Haida putting on. Go figure.


Retsuko entered the karaoke bar, the same one she went to, the same one she'd wailed screaming lyric after lyric. Her haunt was the perfect place to relieve the stress from her dead-end job, free from the stress of her boss, submissive position, and bothersome coworkers, a place to herself. Here nothing surprised and it was all completely in her control. It was the only vice she gave herself, that and it was fun to scream at the top of your lungs to music.

However, as she queued up her world shattered when she saw a familiar face walking through the door. A hyena she knew very well, Hiada, currently unaware of her existence but he might be. What a time to be without the dynamic duo! If Retsuko didn't do something first he might see her, after all she was keen not to mix her public with her private life. Imagine the embarrassment if the office heard? Oh no this was bad, this was really, really, bad.

"Oh... Hey Retsuko." Came the familiar voice before she had time to think.

Wish little choice she slowly turned towards the voice, it was him for sure. He had his head cocked, he seemed just as surprised to see her as she was, maybe it'd be just like when Gori and Washimi found out. "What uh, what are you doing here?" he asked, interrupting her thoughts.

"Oh um... " She stammered, cheeks going as red at being caught. "I'm just here to enjoy an evening in a booth is all." she explained laughing nervously.

"Oh well, me too." Came an equally nervous reply, shit. "What do you say... we... go together?" he added, oh no.

He said it. Why? This was the complete opposite of what she wanted! A quiet evening alone, ruined by that one sentence. She couldn't say no! Not on good consciousness anyway, Haida was a trusted friend and someone who shared her trouble during work not after it. "Su-sure Haida, why not?"

"Great, a room for two then!"

Why? Why? Why?

"Yea, it'll be great."

Retsuko looked away to hide her embarrassment, it was one thing to sing alone about the stress of her workplace, another to sing with her yoga buddies and rant to them. It was a completely different matter to sing with a co-worker who knew her personally, having seen her façade and seeing the contrast of her inner thoughts. What would they think? Her rational mind told her that nothing would change, in fact it would be like when Washimi and Gori saw. As long as it was someone prone to gossip like Kabae then they'd handle it like an adult and not spread it around the office, she had enough of that last time she'd been the office hot topic.

"Oh hey, room for one?" Asked the baboon when they got to the front. "Or two this time?" he added after noticing the hyena next to her.

Retsuko just nodded, speeding her and her surprise karaoke buddy through the reception fast and into the booth. Somewhere she could relax and time to work into her head that all the worry she'd have was in her head. It'll be a fun time with a friend so why was she so scared about her secret being revealed? It sucked! The silver lining to it all was Haida being in a world of his own and not catching on to just how frequent she went here.

"So. Um. What now?" Haida asked, eventually, after what was probably a good minute of both of them staring at nothing in the enclosed space of the booth.

"Oh! Oh well we should probably order some drinks and, and then pick a song!" She answered. She knew she might be shooting herself in the foot but it's what would be the normal procedure of karaoke and as long as death metal was thrown in she'd be absolutely fine. This, was fine.

A few words of agreement later and soon enough they had an order already set out. Two beers, Haida's sudden blurted order and while he'd apologized by the damage had been done. Alcohol. The best social lubricant the world had. For a quiet girl like Retsuko it could be her achilles heel, the one thing that could reveal her private side if she didn't play her cards right. She took a deep breath, she had a difficult battle ahead of her.

"So do you wanna go first?" the Hyena asked her which was immediately met by a solid no.

She'd learnt her lesson from before, there was no way she'd let herself pick the number. Truthfully she'd either faff about for too long or pick something more embarrassing trying to work up the courage to pick one of her favorite tracks. This way she could at least figure out what kind of music he liked and go from there. At least then she'd have time or ease into showing her embarrassing love for metal. Well embarrassing to her image anyway, if she was anyone else or even that little bit braver, she'd own it for sure!

"Oh sure! I got one." He chirped up after a few moments of thoughtful humming.

A swish of the songs menu. A few taps of buttons to confirm. Numbers flashing up on the display. Each moment ticked by with a tense calm as Haida locked in his choice. He was focused and relaxed, clearly set on enjoying his time at the bar and if he could be so chilled then why was she so nervous? She's probably just overreacting to the situation, again. She didn't think too much into it as the thrum of a punk tinged guitar string rang out from the speakers, Haida's song was playing and he grinned. "This one's a classic." He said just as the drums kicked in.

Maybe it was a classic but Retsuko didn't know a single word of it unlike her friend who met each anarchic lyric perfectly, even headbanging along to the solo. As funny as it was it to watch and listen to him ham up the lyrics it was also very relieving, if he could be that open with himself why couldn't she? Maybe because she was a big scaredy cat! Seriously how he could be so nonchalant about it, it stressed her out just as much and if not more. However as quickly as it started it eventually came too an end and with it an out of breath hyena slumping on the couch opposite, panting but happy he'd gotten whatever it was out of his system.

"Woo. That was fun. Your turn." He panted, passing the control over to her and reaching for his drink and knocking it back like a refreshing glass of water.

Retsuko stared at the device, eyes wide. Her worry flaring up again. She ran through the list once, then twice trying to work up the courage to pick a song she and hopefully Haida would like. Oh why did they always have to so darn obscure, there were the obvious one's she knew but how would he react to her type of music. "Hey, you know if it's too much we can always look for something together." He told her before rubbing the back of his head and adding. "I-if you want, of course."

Retsuko gulped, it was a tempting offer but she wouldn't flake. He'd played one he enjoyed without fear of what she'd think so she would too, last time it'd happened the outcome wasn't bad. In fact it brought her, Washimi and Gori closer so if she could managed it there so could do it here. "N-no... I'm. Good, I was just nervous is all. To be honest my choice of song is a little different then what you'd expect." She admitted and mentally congratulated herself for admitting her worry.

"Huh, find that hard to believe, even then we've known each other for 5 years. At this point I'll accept anything about you." He shrugged and giving a warm smile in her direction.

She nodded, he was right. It didn't help her nerves but he was right and she'd have to have some courage and believe in their friendship. Her fingers moved to the numbers, punching in each digit and trying not to overthink about the consequences. Then she pressed the enter button and the song went through, the time was up. She let the music take blanket over her insecurities as she took out the mic in her purse, ignoring Haida if he reacted in any way to the situation as heavy riffs blasted from the sound system and the throaty scream from the typically ordinary office woman roared out.

She belted out each lyric with the repressed stress that'd been building up over the past few days upon another set of ears, getting out all the feelings she'd bottled up dealing with her day to day. The mask she'd carefully constructed to hide this exact scenario had been taken off and with it came a freedom she rarely let slip outside of these walls. Her private secret her friends knew nothing about was shown and for one moment she didn't care, in fact part of her was glad he got to see a much truer self of her then he'd normally ever see.

She poured everything out in those lyrics and soon found herself just as out of breath as he was when the song faded out into silence and she took a few moments to compose herself. That was fun but man it never got any less taxing. She took a seat back and took her drink, only now looking over at him as casually as she could without seeming worried about what he'd think. "Damn Retsuko..." he said, uh oh. "I... didn't know you could you could pull something like that off! That was awesome!"

He was genuinely excited, his eyes were wide. She'd been worried about nothing, it was just like with Gori and Washimi. Immediately she was met with a barrage of questions about her singing. She answered what she could as humbly as she could. How long she'd been doing it, how she'd gotten into it, favorite bands, singers, etc, etc. All questions she was more than happy to answer and before they new it glasses piled out, punk and metal songs were sung and even replayed for the other to give it a go.

Suddenly the phone rang, interrupting a lull of their karaoke. The voice on the other end asked if they wanted more time. She looked over at Hiada and tilted her head to see what he thought. He put 2 fingers up and she nodded in agreement. "2 more hours please." She told then and a quick confirmation later she put the phone back on the wall and joined the hyena on the couch.

"So what song we thinking next?" he asked, scrolling through the song list. "One of mine, one of yours or shall we pick the worst songs for each other?"

"I don't mind but I did go last." She replied as she sat back down with her 4th or 5th drink

"Aww but I wanted to see how you'd handle the high notes."

"Heh, of course you'd want to see that." She giggled perhaps for too long but in her not so sober state she didn't care.

"Wha-what's that supposed to mean?" he chocked, cheeks turning more rosy.

"I mean the crush you had a on me." She giggled before freezing as she released what had slipped out.

It was a tightly kept secret that the hyena liked her, so tight that as of her finding out one night only 3 knew of it. That being him, her, and Fenneko. While outwardly nothing had changed it occasionally slipped up, leading to a quick shared moment of tension before sinking back to their regular mundanity.

They both blushed for a moment before looking away at each other, the moment turned into a couple of seconds before Haida broke the silence with a cough and scratching his head. "Well... Yea and I still do." He admitted, making Retsuko do a double take before he continued. "In fact I've been meaning to work up the courage to ask again but last time I didn't take it too well and I've just been too scared to ask. I know it's silly and we'd still be friends even if you'd decline again but I really don't want to mess up our friendship, I enjoy being with you, ya know?"

Retsuko didn't know what to say, her mind ran in so many directions and the damn alcohol didn't help. Her dreams of being in a loving relationship and Mum off her back. The laid back and goofy Haida, a funny and smart hyena. The wonderful years of friendship she'd had with him. Truthfully she didn't know what to say, on one hand she could certainly imagine spending the rest of her years with a person like him but on the other their current relationship was awesome and if it didn't work out then the damage it would do to their relationship between them and work would be disastrous.

"O-oh hey didn't you say it was my turn to pick a song. I can do that aha ha ha." She replied trying to dodge the question she had no idea how to answer.

"Yeea, you're right, what were we talking about again?" Haida chuckled back, just as nervous about the subject as she was and blushing as he slouched down, looking down on the ground.

Retsuko in her part buried herself within the tablet looking for a song to sing and change the tone of the night for the better. At least she should be, in reality the thing that was taking her attention was her him. Sure, Haida was the type of guy she 'could' she herself with it didn't mean that being with Haida would work. Experience had taught her that much. She squeezed the rigid plastic of the tablet as she thought but nothing came to mind but when she looked at Haida she couldn't just let him wallow there.

She took a strong swig of her drink and moved over, sitting down next to him and leaning against him as she threw away her doubts, if she was going to get her thoughts and worries out free of fear here then she could do the same about her caution and worries. Nothing happened for a few seconds until Haida began to stammer her name. The red panda tried not to think about the gossip that might happen tomorrow, the negative impact that might happen if things didn't work, the cute face he was pulling as he tried to process what was happening. Okay maybe not that last one, that was new.

Having dared to look at his face, flashed of thoughts of a married life rushed past. A compassionate man, a caring man, a man who loved her as much as she loved him. All things Haida certainly would be. Fuck it. She pushed herself up. Stopping only when her lips were pressed against his. It might be the alcohol but for all she cared right now she was being the bravest person in the world. The only question is what comes next? She hadn't thought that far and all her other relationships never had a moment like this.

She started to worry again, the usual meekness she was known for quickly returning. Just what had she done? This was bad, this could be very bad. However, before her thoughts became too much Haida pushed back and suddenly it was all worth it. The fear she felt had evaporated and for whatever reason the night just seemed to have gotten better even as he overextended, and they fell on top of each other on the sofa.

They both chuckled at how close they both were now and slowly more kisses were given from both. It started with small, soft pecks against cheeks that grew closer until it centered at their lips and her arms wrapped up over his back and embracing him. She swore if she could see his tail it'd be wagging hard enough to create a tornado. As much as she enjoyed kissing him a part in her mind was noticing something starting to press against her leg. It wasn't as hard as a pen or phone but it had it's firmness, just what could it... oh...

Something must have clued Haida about what she'd discovered because he'd frozen in place like a statue, not even a breath. She knew that she shouldn't push it but it was there, the situation was quite quickly moving into some sexual direction, and honestly she hadn't had any intimacy in months. Summoning more of what little bravery she had she slid her hand down, down, and down until she felt it against her fingers. The unmistakable shape and feel of an excited male.

Retsuko wasn't a stranger to sexual contact, she wasn't exactly an expert either but knew enough to know roughly how to pleasure her partner and right now she was putting that all to use. Rubbing up and down the length through the fabric, she thought she was doing well as soft gasps from the hyena above her could be heard. "Should... should we be doing this?" came a hesitant question from Haida with a conflicted look and interrupting her train of thought.

"No... but I wanna." She replied, happily honest as she continued to feel his hidden package.

Haida opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it, instead lifting himself up and off of her and looking at her for a moment to make sure she didn't take anything back before he was drawn to the hem of his trousers, undoing the belt buckle and drawing the zip down. Retsuko's hand moved past the gap in his trousers before tentatively slipping the shaft that was growing ever closer to being seen out and into the open with a little help from Haida, who still had a look like he'd been kicked in the head.

Retsuko stared at his member. It throbbed attentively, demanding attention as if it were the center of the universe. It was exactly what she'd hoped but nothing what she would have ever fantasized about, until now. After what seemed like an eternity of gazing at it, she summoned the courage to grasp it lightly, her thumb resting against the shaft tip and started to pump her hand up and down. Her ears perked at the gasps and tiny jerks of his hips against her hand, giving her tells to what spots were best to focus and with it came more confidence to hold it firmer and stroke it with courage.

With her hand motion firmly established she got into a regular rhythm, every pump her head drifting closer and closer towards his dick until she her lips almost touched it, her breath blowing heatedly against it. She paused as if wondering if it was a good choice to continue but made up her mind as she pushed forward, taking his shaft into her mouth and causing a sharp inhale from the male it belonged to. Carefully she bobbed her head up and down what she felt comfortable to take, what she couldn't take into her mouth was given attention with her hand while the other kept her supported on the couch. Pre slowly started to dribble out of his member, and she licked it up, it wasn't something she was used to doing but she didn't mind it nor did she want to stop thanks to the shuddering reaction she got from him. Haida, for his part placed a hand against her head, stroking the woman and urging her to continue.

"Retsuko... do... do you mind if we switch things up..." Haida eventually chalked up, from the way he breathed he had certainly enjoyed the attention but from the way he said it, with things continuing their current pace they'd end up going... all the way.

Is that what she wanted? She could say no, she could stop it here and now, but she didn't. She didn't want to. The situation aroused her, She hadn't been with a man in far too long and Haida... well was he normally this good looking? The choice obvious in front of her, she looked up at him and nodded. Yes, yes, and yes. She extracted herself from his lap and slid up as he picked her up from her hips and onto his lap, pulling her once more into more kisses.

This time however the kisses were laid on the more they started to shuffle about. From one side of the couch too the other and back again, their tongues doing much the same against each other. All of a sudden Haida lifted her up, making the red panda gasp in surprise as her weight was fully caught within his arms and their shuffling about was no longer restricted to the confines of the couch. With all dimensional freedom Retsuko wrapped her legs around Haida, taking some of the weight off of his arms as they made out, continuing until they bumped against the large sound system that took up a large part of the room.

They looked at each other for a moment, a shared entertaining moment of interruption of their tryst before using it to their advantage. Pushing Retsuko against the large tower he started to push up her top, both working to get rid of the restrictive material and access to her bare chest and using the newfound freedom to the fullest. Though his hands roamed around her back and against her sides his hips pressed against hers, rubbing and grinding and teasing like nothing. God damnit just take her already.

She needed him to get the hint and soon. Her body craved, no, demanded satisfaction and she knew where to get it. Pushing back against his pressing hips and up against him until his hands made the smart decision to reach under her skirt and pull away her panties with her leggings, sliding them down as far as he could reach and letting her slide them the rest of the way off. Her dripping pussy now exposed Haida lined himself up, holding back his eagerness as his tip brushed against her opening. Time seemed to freeze as were about to break the point of 'going to far' and Retsuko couldn't wait. With one deft push he slid into her and her world became a litany of fireworks and explosion from the penetration.

Although it was an exaggeration, she definitely felt the wonderful feeling of being penetrated by a partner, his thick length swelling and pushing inside of her in the most intimate way possible. It came to rest when it had been pushed up to the hilt and she could feel Haida's fur brushing against her. They'd done it. Whatever this meant for the future of their relationship was anyone's guess but if they had a say in it then much more of this and plenty of couple stuff, the kind both of them dreamed of.

For know though what was more important was their shared pleasure and with a quick affirmation for him to continue Haida wasted no time in pumping his shaft in and out of his crush of god knows how long. He pulled out until only his tip remained buried and she gasped, then he pushed in back up to his hilt and she moaned out as he once again filled her back up. The process repeated, again and again, each time the same feeling of pleasure sparked through the red panda yet somehow it felt even better than the last. Everytime the hyena pushed into her welcoming folds; she was loving it.

Slowly Haida's pace grew faster and with it the more pleasure she felt shooting through her spine, tingling every atom of her body with delight as she was pushed back against the system. She might as well have been singing along to one of the many numbers in the karaoke system as she couldn't stop making noises, be moans or gasps while he held her hips firm. As good as it was she wanted more, harder, deeper and she was pretty sure she knew how to get it.

Pushing against his chest she lifted twisted her body to the side in his grasp and lifted her leg high above her head, securing it by grabbing under her thigh as she leaned against the sound system. One of the good things about her yoga classes was the benefit of being more flexible and Haida certainly welcomed this newfound secret. He took full advantage of the new position, holding onto her hip for stability with one hand while the other wrapped around her leg for leverage and thrusted with all the power it gave him. Wham, stars appeared in Retsuko's vision. She hadn't expected that but by golly it was good and only made her crave more.

Haida's pace only grew more furious and impassioned. Harder and faster, his shaft completely slicked by her flowing juices and pre was able to pound her without resistance. She didn't know how much she could hold on with the endless pleasure from her lower body flooding the rest of her senses. Each moment that passed and however many thrusts the coiling pressure in her body grew, the harder she strived to get rid of it the stronger it got and the more shaky her body became as a result though that might just be because she needed to do more yoga in that position. Whatever the reason there was only really one thing on her mind, release and as soon as possible.

"I'm... getting... close..." Haida, warning her of his imminent release as he continued to pound her as fast as he could while struggling to maintain his already shaky composure.

"Cum inside... of me." She replied between her moans before gasping, feeling the hand at her hip shifting to the front of her crotch and began to play with clit.

It was like lighting a flame and the reaction was just as intense, the addition of her button played with was all that was needed to lose herself to the pleasure and in no time, she felt her body launch itself over the edge. She cried his name, pushing herself against the sound system and against his hips as her body shuddered and squeezed against him as her world became a litany of fireworks and explosions. This time however it didn't feel like an exaggeration.

Haida was already close and if he wasn't about to blow already, he certainly couldn't hold back now. Pushing himself deep into Retsuko, as deep as he could as his dick began to throb and pulse as cum began to pour into her excited form. Hot waves of seed was pumped into her, soothing the inner fire of inner desire to get receive that kind of affection from another. Her body eagerly accepting every drop as they grinded against each other's hips, not daring to pull away for even a second.

After what felt like ages of rapture their orgasms died down, who's was the longest they didn't know or care. Both parties were out of it after such exertion, Retsuko only remembered to let her leg fall once a buzz of pins and needles set into it while Haida seemed very hesitant to let go of the office beauty, let alone pull out. Slowly eyes became less lidded and breath was poured back into lungs, the newly minted couple was now faced with an awkward problem of what now. Haida moved first, pulling his spent cock out of her slit, careful not to hurt her.

A gentle 'pop' and the connection was broken, a jolt of over-sensitized pleasure jolted through her and a unique emptiness remained. She could feel the wet, sticky fluid of cum leaking out of her as she tried to take a step towards the couch. Retsuko was immediately met with the consequences of sex as her legs resisted her actions, worse still the leg she had up in the air was still very numb as blood rushed back to it and almost tripping when she stood on it. Heck she would have if Haida hadn't been there to keep her steady all the way to where she could sit down. Nothing was said in those moments, but it didn't need to be, they were both satisfied in ways beyond just physically and as Haida sat down next to her after retrieving the clothes from the floor she slumped against him.

"That was... Well that was something." Haida said, breaking the silence finally. "That was amazing. Please tell me that wasn't just pity sex."

"No, that definitely wasn't pity sex, that was 'I like you' sex" she replied, snuggling up against him.

"Like me? Like, 'like me' like me or just like me?" he asked, eyes wide and mouth agape in shock.

"Yea, 'like you' like you." Came a confident reply.

The rest of the night was a blur. After they'd cleaned up and gotten presentable again, they spent the rest of the time they had in the booth like they had beforehand with song after song until time was up once more. However instead of going their separate ways they both came back to the same apartment and shared the same bed. The morning was something when they both remembered the night before and after a small talk about it during breakfast and on the way to work it was decided to make it official. Surprising almost everyone at work except for a smug Fennec who had to be bribed with expensive chocolates to slow down the speed of gossip.

The end or something
