As the lights started to flicker on in the city two canines were walking up the stairs to their new apartment building, each of them holding the last boxes from the moving truck that had just driven away from their street. The german shepherd and alaskan malamute were giddy with excitement as they made their way up the stairwell and unlocked the door to go into their two-bedroom apartment. Everything they had brought in was piled up in their living room and they added the last two boxes to the pile before they settled in on the couch with a huff. After they had a chance to rest and recuperate the alaskan malamute got up to get them both a drink.

"I can't believe we're finally here Askim," the malamute said as he handed the other canine one of the hardly-cooled bottles. "It seems like only yesterday..."

"Sitting on your porch drinking sodas from the local mart before it closed for the night," Askim replied with a chuckle. "This is just the beginning Gambit, once we get ourselves established we might even get a couch that my parents didn't haul up from their basement."

Gambit laughed and sat back down on the couch with his best friend and starting up a video game before they get to unpacking. The two had been together since elementary school and though most such friends usually drifted apart they went through high school, college, and started their adult lives together as well. So when it came time to choose their careers it was a no-brainer, they had talked about moving into the big city for ages. Now it had finally happened; naturally becoming roommates once they had both found jobs, the day was finally here and they couldn't be more excited.

Once they had taken the time to rest the two parted ways once more, taking their respective boxes into their rooms so they could set themselves up. As Gambit closed the door behind him the malamute sighed and put his hand on his head. Though they had been friends for quite some time the canine had been excited, and slightly terrified, about moving in with the german shepherd because of something else entirely. During college he had caught feelings for the other canine... at that point he hadn't even realized that he was gay, but when he started to feel something other than just the deep friendship that they had since they were kids it was frightening.

Unfortunately for Gambit it didn't appear that Askim was the same way, having had several girlfriends before and not showing any affection towards the other male or even males in genereal. The malamute hadn't thrown any indicator of his feelings towards him though since he didn't want to ruin their friendship over something like that. Now that they were roommates Gambit hoped that he would have more than one opportunity to test the waters and see if perhaps there was something that might be able to happen between the two of them...

That opportunity came as Gambit was coming home from work, seeing something that was on the bus that caused his tail to wag in excitement. It was almost perfect timing and he was bouncing on the seat for the ride all the way home and then nearly ran up the stairs so he could talk to Askim. A few seconds before he opened the door however he took a deep breath to compose himself, calming himself down before he walked inside the apartment. He saw the german shepherd cooking for the two of them and was ready to plate by the time he sat down at their counter.

After a few minutes of just talking about the usual stuff like their day and their work Gambit finally decided to go ahead and ask what he had been wanting to ask since the second he had walked into the apartment. "So I was on the bus coming home from work and I happened to notice something that was going on," Gambit informed the other canine as Askim looked up at him. "There's a pride parade that's happening near the downtown area and it's within walking distance. Since it's around the same time as my birthday I thought it would be nice if we could go together?"

"A pride parade?" Askim repeated, and at first Gambit was excited... until he saw the sour look on his face. The malamute felt his heart sink down into his feet as he saw his friend look at him in a way he had never seen before. "You some sort of fag?"

The statement took Gambit completely aback and though he tried not to show it he knew his jaw was probably dropped down onto the counter. "I... it..." the sudden declaration of homophobia from the german shepherd had thrown the other canine for a loop and the malamute scrambled to think of an answer. "I was just curious, thought since it was close by that we could see what it is. You know... something to do during the weekend?"

"Well I can tell you what goes on there," Askim replied with a sneer. "Bunch of homos prancing around in leather thongs and harnesses with their dicks sticking out. If you're into that stuff you do it on your own time and make sure that you don't bring any of that in here, and you better not make a move on me otherwise you're moving out."

"Ah... no no," Gambit continued to backpedal. "Like I said, just curious... but nothing like that."

The german shepherd gave him a nod and quickly changed the subject, but that stone that had solidified in the malamute's stomach didn't go away. After dinner Gambit made up some excuse to leave that he couldn't remember a few seconds after he gave it before ducking out of apartment. When he got down into the street the words that his friend had said continued to echo in his mind as he started to walk. How could his friend have been so homophobic and not even realized it? Just the recollection of what Askim had said had caused him to shake his head as he continued down the street towards the convenience store.

A few minutes later Gambit walked out with a slushie as he looked around for something to do. Unfortunately, the area that he was in didn't have much to do after a certain time, especially during the weekday. He ended up wondering the area just trying to clear his head and eventually when he turned the corner he found himself at a dead-end that caused the canine some confusion. When he looked at the brick wall he looked around and wondered how he managed to get here. While he had only been in the neighborhood for a few months he thought he had the layout of the area pretty down, so finding himself at a dead-end suddenly caused him to look up and pay attention.

"Kiedo's Curious Curios?" the malamute said to no one as he looked up at the sign. "Never seen that before..."

Gambit decided that it was worth a look and walked inside the shop, glancing back and forth as he heard the sound of the bell ring behind him from the door closing. From the name of the store he thought it might have been an antique store, but the longer he browsed the items on the shelf the more high-tech things looked. There was a section that looked a bit wiccan in nature but the malamute quickly ignored that as the gadgets that continued to enthrall him. There were even a few things closer to the counter that from the description that was given sounded more like science fiction than anything else.

"Hey there Gambit," a voice near the counter said as he snapped his head when he heard his name, looking to see a purple-furred leopard behind the counter smiling at him. "Is there something that I can help you with today, anything that I might be able to look for?"

"Oh... no..." Gambit replied as he suddenly felt a bit self-conscious, walking over to the counter when the guy behind the counter motioned for him to come closer. "Sorry... I was just browsing. If you're closing or something I can leave..."

"Nothing of the sort," the leopard said with that grin still on his face. "One of the facets of my shop is curiosity after all, though I think the reason that you're in this shop right now is because you got a lot weighing on your mind. Now if you want to direct that thousand-mile stare towards me I think I have something that might hold your interest..."

The malamute's attention was suddenly drawn down towards the glass counter where the purple-furred leopard had taken out a box while they had talked, opening it up to reveal what appeared to be an old-fashioned pocket watch. When the shopkeeper took it out and showed it to Gambit he saw his own reflection in the silver finish, which in the light it almost had a mirror shine to it. Opening it up he saw that it worked just like a normal watch with nothing else unusual about it. When the canine asked what was so special about it the leopard chuckled once more.

"I can assure you that this is a one of a kind item," Kiedo said, gesturing for Gambit to open his palm before the feline put the pocket watch into it. "Now I want you to have it, and before you start telling me that you couldn't possibly accept such a thing and all that stuff all you have to do is take care of it and its yours. Think of it as an early birthday gift."

Though Gambit was confused at the shopkeeper's generosity he merely nodded and put the watch in his pocket before being escorted out of the store. By the time he was outside of the door and heard it close behind him did he realize what just happened. "Hey, wait a second," he said as he began to turn around. "How did you know it was my birth-"

The malamute stopped short of completing his sentence when he saw that the shop looked completely closed up and the lights were out. It was shockingly fast and when he looked in the window he didn't even see anyone mulling about inside. That just left him in a dead-end street with a pocket watch in his coat, his fingers pressing against the smooth surface as some indicator that what just happened was real. When it was clear that he had reach the end of the encounter he just shook his head once more and ended up leaving the area and walking back to the apartment. Night had completely settled in by that time and the streets were nearly deserted by the time he got back up to the apartment.

When Gambit made his way inside he could hear the soft snoring of his friend from the couch. He wondered if the other canine had tried to wait up for him, though at this point he was glad that he hadn't. Everything that he had attempted to clear out of his mind with that walk had come rushing back and what really got his stomach in a knot was that now he had to live with his friend constantly judging him noq. He had been so careful in making sure that he hadn't rocked the boat of their friendship... but now all of that was completely out the window because of one stupid request that tipped him off. Part of him wished desperately that he could make his friend forget what he had just asked, or somehow turn back time...

Turn back time... Gambit's mind went back to the watch in his pocket and pulled it out by the chain that it was attached to. As he looked at it swing back and forth slightly he realized that it was a lot like something that would come out of a hypnotist's act that he would see on the television as his gaze went down to his friend. "You are getting sleepy..." the malamute whispered, grinning despite his dark thoughts as he humored himself by swinging the watch in front of the german shepherd's head. "Well... I suppose you are already are asleep, so I suppose you are getting more awake... opening your eyes..."

Much to the malamute's surprise he saw Askim's eyes slowly open and they were actually following the watch as it swung back and forth. Though he thought that his friend was fooling with him a small voice inside him wondered if what he was seeing wasn't actually real. He had never done anything like this before and he would be surprised if he could actually hypnotize his friend so easily, especially with him being asleep. However when he told Askim to sit up straight and continue to follow the watch he did everything automatically, as though he was actually entranced. But Gambit wasn't completely convinced that the german shepherd wasn't just playing with him so he needed a fool-proof test to guarantee that his friend wasn't playing with him.

So when Gambit told Askim to take off his clothes his eyes widened into saucers as the other canine immediately stood up to do so, keeping his eyes glued to that watch wavering in front of him. Given the homophobic nature of his friend and the recent revelation he knew that the other canine wouldn't have done this for just a joke and yet within a few minutes he had a naked german shepherd on their couch. Gambit couldn't help but bite his lip; not only because he had apparently used a pocket watch to hypnotize his friend but also from eyeing the toned body of the male up and down. He didn't want to go any further, it already felt like he had crossed a boundry, but continued to keep the watch in front of Askim's face as he thought about what to do next.

"You are going to forget that we ever had an argument about the pride parade that was happening two weeks from now," Gambit instructed, watching Askim saying yes while still watching the shiny object swinging in front of him. "What you remember tonight is that we had dinner together as usual and just talked about work. Do you understand me?"

"I understand," Askim replied in a monotone.

"Good..." Gambit said before a new thought entered his mind, licking his lips as he decided that he may as well make a helpful suggestion or two if he really had managed to get his friend into a suggestive state. "Now listen, when you wake up again you're going to start having an open mind about homosexuality. Though you don't remember that we talked about it you'll think about my disappointment in that way of thinking every time you have a homophobic thought. You're going to enlighten yourself and realize that such thoughts are backwards..."

The session continued for a few minutes before Gambit told Askim to get dressed and to go back to his room before he woke up from trance. Though the malamute was intensely curious on how much his hypnotic suggestions had sunk in he knew not to push his luck. He watched his friend go into his room before he went into his own, sitting down on the bed with a sigh. As he laid there on his bed he found himself clutching the pocket watch in his hand while he drifted off to sleep himself...

The next morning Gambit's eyes snapped open when he could hear his roommate milling about in the living room, and when he poked his head in he saw that he was just humming to himself. Though he wasn't nearly brave enough to try and dig into the gay acceptance part of his suggestions he did inquire about the night before. In a surprisingly pleasant turn of events it didn't appear that he remembered anything about their argument and was completely oblivious to their little hypno session. Perhaps there was something to the pocket watch after all, Gambit thought to himself as they got ready for work.

The day went by agonizingly slow for the malamute as he waited for his work day to end, then the second it was over he took the bus back to his neighborhood and looked for the shop where the watch came from. After nearly an hour of searching however he couldn't find the street that he had turned down on, much less the shop that was on it, and as the sun set he finally decided that he had just forgotten where he had gone before heading back to the apartment. When he got there he started to make dinner for when Askim got home as his mind raced on what he was going to do next, if anything. Once the German Shepard arrived he once more inquired about the night before and found that the hypnotic suggestion he had put in was still completely intact.

Though Gambit wanted nothing more than to put the german shepherd into trance he didn't want to mess things up by being overeager. He had spent as much time as he could attempting to learn about how hypnosis worked and combined with the power of the watch he thought that he might get his friend his way of thinking was wrong. The malamute devised a plan; knowing his friend's schedule better than anyone he knew that he got up every morning at a certain time in order to go lift weights at the local gym, which meant that he knew when he would be able to sneak into his room to continue his hypnotic acceptance training.

That night Gambit set his alarm extra early and when that time rolled around he awoke and snuck into his friend's room with the watch in hand. He almost immediately felt himself blush as he realized that Askim slept in his boxers above the covers, his fur ruffling slightly in the breeze of the fan as he slowly made his way over to him. Gambit felt his heart pounding in his chest as he took the watch and slowly began to swing it over the canine's eyes. Even before he said a word he could see the eyes beneath the eyelids moving back and forth in time with the swinging as Gambit began to speak...

For the next week the malamute took his time with his hypnotic suggestions, taking it slow and steady in order to hopefully put him in a less phobic state of mind. Though he appeared to be understanding things in trance, the bad experience he got from the first time he opened up to him prevented him from trying to see just how effective his sessions with him were. From what Gambit could observe it didn't seem like his mood had changed, though up until he asked about the pride parade he didn't see the behavior before either. As the malamute left the bedroom and pocketed the watch Gambit knew that all he could do was keep a steady eye and wait to see some sort of progress...

At the end of that week Askim was at his job, sitting in the IT office of the small community center he worked at, though he definitely wasn't working at that moment as one of his co-workers that was an otter saw. The otter's mouth dropped when he saw the very explicit images that were on the screen for more than a few seconds before the german shepherd clicked off of it. He shook his head and sat down at his own desk, though his mind was still on what he had just seen on the computer screen. It wasn't even the fact that they were explicit that shocked the otter, it was the fact that they featured two males when he knew, or thought he knew, that the canine was a severe homophobe.

"So... interesting material you were looking up there," the otter mentioned after a few minutes and the shock had passed.

"What?" Askim replied before he realized what the mustelid was talking about and just shrugged. "Oh... it's nothing, just expanding my horizons."

The look on the otter's face went from shock to intrigued as the canine seemed unfazed by his declaration, a sly look growing on his face. "So... broadening your horizons you say?" the co-worker said, licking his lips as the german shepherd nodding distractedly. "I don't suppose you want any help with that? Maybe do a little bit of... field research? Perhaps I could give you an oral lesson in how that sort of thing works."

Askim didn't even realize what he had nodded to in agreement too until he caught his co-worker sliding down from his desk and moved over to his side of the office. They were the only two there and almost everyone just contacted him by e-mail, which meant that neither male would worry about being interrupted. Normally that meant they would be able to play LAN parties during the down time, but in this case it was for a far different activity. As Askim continued to click through the gay porn site that he had logged onto he suddenly felt his zipper get undone and his pants pilled down to his knees.

Before the german shepherd could say anything he felt his cock, which had been unknowingly been hard ever since he started looking up the smut, get licked up and down by the otter's tongue. Normally that would have caused him to jump up from his seat in revulsion... but despite the perversion that was going on beneath his desk he found himself... enjoying it immensely. Perhaps it's been the fact that he's been so fixated on looking up gay stuff for the last week or so, driven by a strange need to try and learn as much about it as possible. At first it was just articles, having heard about the pride parade that was supposed to happen in the week, but as the days progressed the content became less informative and more sensual in nature. The strangest thing was that he wasn't even bothered by it like he usually would be, his mind more acclimated to it to the point where he had another male with his mouth wrapped around his dick and he didn't even flinch.

When the otter continued to bob his head up and down on the throbbing cock Askim began to get more into it, his mind justifying that it was just like when he had a girl down there. As it continued forward however he had to admit that it was actually better, the other male knowing where to use his tongue for the sensitive flesh while it was buried to the point where it was starting to press against the back of his mawe. His hands drifted down from where he had been still typing stuff into his computer to the otter's head, guiding him up and down as his fingers moved through the other male's headfur. At the same time he could feel a pair of hands press against his thighs, nails digging sensually into the muscle as they rubbed into his soft pelt.

It didn't take too long for Askim to blow his load, moaning softly while attempting to keep as quiet as possible to not alert anyone possibly outside. Once he was done his co-worker slid back out from underneath the desk and up into his own, the otter grinning at him from across the way as the german shepherd absentmindedly pulled his pants back up and sat back in his chair. When he continued to glance over the otter he couldn't understand why he continued to give him the bedroom eyes, he wasn't gay or anything after all...

When the german shepherd got home and had his usual dinner with his friend and roommate the encounter with his co-worker had already been pushed out of his mind, telling the malamute that everything was alright with work. As they continued to talk however something unusual did seem to be happening to his friend the longer they talked. His friend kept looking at him when he thought he wasn't seeing it, glancing as though he were looking for something. Askim didn't ask what it was, for some reason he trusted that whatever Gambit was going through he would talk to about him if he needed it.

As the night progressed Gambit was back in his room, lying down on his bed while holding the pocket watch up in front of his face. He had begun to wonder if he possibly overstepped his bounds, from what he had researched someone that was under hypnosis wouldn't do anything that they didn't reasonably want. If Askim was truly engrained in his beliefs then it was likely that he wouldn't change then, and though the german shepherd was blissfully ignorant of the conversation that they had Gambit still had it in his mind. He sighed and looked up once more at the pocket watch and saw his own concerned face in the mirror finish.

"Don't suppose you could hypnotize me to forget," Gambit asked the watch, swinging it back and forth in front of his face. When nothing happened he sighed and clutched it against his chest. "I guess not."

The malamute turned to his side and looked at his clock. As he laid there he resolved to continue his hypnotic reinforcement of his suggestions. Even if he didn't change his friend's mind he wanted to at least try to get him to soften up on such thoughts. As his eyes closed and he drifted off to sleep he could only hope that he would see any sort of change relatively soon...
