Warning. Contains adult concepts, babyfurs, sex, and plot.
Ed note: The events contained herein begin between chapter 1 and 2 of the Interlude. The two storylines will be joined together. The next chapter released will be another chapter of the interlude, and thereafter, both storylines will merge.
Louis slowly drifted into consciousness, instinctively wrapping his arms tighter around the Tiger curled against him, who was deeply asleep. The small enclosure had an efficient air conditioner vent, so the scent of sex wasn't pervasive, but it was noticeable. As was another scent, which caused him to wake up a little further, reaching down to feel the bed under his partner. A puddle greeted him, and he sighed, then gave a soft chuckle, causing Issac to half-open one eye sleepily, giving a tiny mewl. Louis's heart melted.
He lifted the Tiger and bodily turned him around, being mindful of the cast and causing Issac to squeak loudly and wake up further, blinking as he felt his legs drip a little, whimpering. "I'm s-sorry... hey, careful, you'll get wet!" Louis patted Issac's still bare rump. "So? Need a shower anyway. We both do... and to run some laundry." he grinned and groped the large cat in his arms, earning a squirm as Issac blushed even harder and snuggled against him, tail lashing.
The sheet was designed with absorbent properties in mind, but it still got uncomfortable fairly quickly. The Wolf started to strip Issac out of his damp shirt and the soaked padding around his waist, causing the Tiger's already growing morning wood to spring to full attention, earning itself a gentle squeeze from the Wolf. Both shivered. Issac stood up while Louis stripped further, and checked the time. 3 am. "Take a look?" He asked Issac, and the boy moved to open the curtain an inch. The room was empty, but the other bunk was closed, meaning they could hold a band practice session in the main room and not wake up Neil, Issac's roommate.
They slipped to the joint shower, Louis shooing Issac ahead as he paused to collect a cast cover and a few... necessary supplies from the drawer, and Issac turned the water on, testing the temperature as Louis set a small stack of clothing on the counter and wrapped him in his arms from behind, nuzzling at his ear and whispering, "Love you." Issac shivered under him as he pressed his own growing erection under the Tiger's tail, which lifted high, the Tiger squeaking softly.
Louis licked his ear. "Good morning." He whispered, and retrieved the small bottle he'd brought with him. "Since we're going to get clean, I figure we should make sure we're thoroughly dirty first. Don't you agree?"
He had little difficulty in translating the Tiger's response as Issac grabbed the counter top with his good arm and bent further over, lifting his tail high, pressing himself to the Wolf's middle. Louis could hardly resist the urge to just press inside the panting Tiger, but grabbed the lube and made a show of opening the cap slowly, dribbling it on his fingers, and working it delicately under Issac's tail, causing the Tiger to hiss with impatience. Louis smacked him on the rump and gave a soft growl. "Watch it, boy." He said, in a mock stern voice as he worked his fingers into the Tiger's tight pucker, grinning as he felt him tense and throb.
Issac whispered through a whimper, "Y-yes, Daddy."
Louis smirked softly and stroked the spot he spanked. "Good boy..." he said, standing back up and working some of the lube onto his own length, putting the dripping tip back to Issac's pucker, closing his eyes and gently applying pressure, gripping the boy close as he felt the warm striped body under him tense even further, then relax to allow him in.
He sank in slowly until he pressed his swelling knot to the entryway, leaning down and taking the Tiger's scruff in his jaws, growling softly as he took Issac for the second time, His hands moving around to stroke the Tiger's own maleness, causing him to gasp. He was in absolute heaven. A boy... his boy, in his arms. That slick tightness around him. He gruffed out. "Love you, son." through the bite, and got a whimpered response, the only intelligible word of which was. "Daddy."
He thrust harder, his knot beginning to pound against Issac's rump as he groaned... the light around him seemed to grow brighter as he got close. "Come over when I tie with you, Iz." he said, in a commanding voice, getting a gasped assent in return, his vision blurring with blue lights as he finally tied. In that moment, amongst their soft cries of Ecstasy, a hum built up in the air, electric and resonant. It seemed to be attached to their pleasure somehow.
When they both came, the light bulb above the sink blew along with them.
"Wow"
There was an urgent knock at the door, and Neil's voice called in. "I'm sorry to interrupt you two, but I need to pee!"
***
After they'd cleared up the glass and waited for Neil to do his thing, Louis carefully put on Issac's cast cover. "You're sure it doesn't hurt?" he asked, looking worriedly at the cast, and Issac nodded.
"It seems to be healing awfully fast. I jostled it last night when we fell over and I could barely feel it hurting." He wiggled it experimentally. "Huh. Doesn't hurt at all now."
Louis nodded. "Well, be careful. I don't want you injuring it further... or worse yet, having it heal wrong."
They showered together, Louis grinning as he washed every inch of the squirming Tiger, making sure that he was clean top to toe. Issac blushed heavily when the Wolf rubbed soap into his rear, and bit his lip softly. "Y-you sure about this?" He asked quietly. Louis blinked.
"Sure about what?"
Issac mumbled something unintelligible, then looked up. "S-sure about being my Daddy... I've got a ton of baggage, you know."
Louis smirked, and continued to wash him. "I know... I have my own..." He paused. "The question is, are you sure? I don't want to push... if you want to stop, or.. go back, at any point, it might... hurt, but I..." he sighed softly as he stuttered. "I love you, Issac. I want what you want. And I do want to be your Daddy, if you'll have me."
Issac turned and clung to him tightly.
The two stood under the water until the shower beeped, reminding them to conserve water.
***
They toweled off, then they dressed, the Wolf grinning as he diapered the Tiger quickly, making a big show of tossing one of the wetness sensor disks in to the front of his diaper, Issac blushing hard. "We're going out, so I want to make sure I know about it if I need to change you."
Issac gaped at him. "At three am?" he asked, staring at the Wolf as he fastened the diaper.
Louis nodded, and tapped his phone a few times. "Yeah. The place is open, and I've had all the sleep I'm going to." he said, grinning wide and grabbing a clean pair of jeans, getting the overgrown cub dressed. "It's time I got you some more appropriate clothing to wear around the dorm." More people had come in that day. The dorm was almost full for the semester start next week. Issac had noticed that most of the inhabitants who wore padding did little to hide the fact, and several wore clothing that made it even more obvious.
He gulped.
Louis giggled. "Don't worry. If you don't want to wear it out... well, we're not all Mike." He grinned, and Issac blushed hotly at the memory of walking past the Horse in the hallway, who had had a teddy bear in one arm, a blanket under the other, and nothing but a onesie and obvious padding underneath. "He was cute." Issac said, softly, lowering his chin. "Not sure I'm ready for that."
Louis smiled, and patted his padded front. "Okay. Shall we? the cab will be here by the time we get downstairs."
***
The cab took them to a strange looking warehouse. Louis paid the fare and the cab sped off. Issac looked around with a slight bite of his lip. "Where are we?" He asked softly, and the Wolf chuckled. "Not the best neighbourhood, but right here is pretty safe." He indicated the omnidirectional cameras above the two doorways. "Don't worry."
He ushered the Tiger inside one of the two doors and tapped a black card over a reader. Issac noticed a small GAIA logo above it, and blinked a little. The door split open like an elevator, and they stepped inside a small airlock, the door shutting behind him. An identical door met them a few feet further. A cool, female voice spoke. "Hello, Louis, who is your guest?"
Louis grinned. "His name is Issac. We're just heading downstairs to the store." The voice gave the impression of a smile.
"Enter."
The two were let inside a long, art deco styled hallway, with very soft carpets underfoot and tasteful stained glass showing various humans doing... quite naughty things to eachother. The Wolf turned left, towards the elevators. To the right, along a hallway, was a set of double doors, ornately carved. Issac spoke softly. "What's that way?" Louis grinned and tapped a reader plate next to the elevators, opening the doors.
"Only one of the most well known and well funded dungeons in the world. A friend of mine works in the basement here." He said, stepping inside and beckoning to Issac, who's eyes grew wide, causing the Wolf to chuckle. "Oh, you don't need to go in there. Only if you want to."
Issac swallowed, but didn't answer. The elevator doors closed, and they descended.
The doors opened with a soft ding, and they exited to another hallway, nearly identical to the other one. At the end of this one, though, the doors were simple wood. They walked down the hallway together and the Wolf opened the door.
"Ahh! Louis!" A voice dripping with colonialism and Empire came from somewhere inside what looked like a lavishly decorated living room. "You've come to visit at last." Louis chuckled and shooed the Tiger in, walking over to a couch and settling, tugging Issac to sit next to him.
"Yes, yes, Nathan." He said softly, grinning to the Giraffe. Nathan was sitting in an electric wheelchair, which rolled up to sit parallel to the couch without the Giraffe appearing to exert any control. "Brought the boy." The Wolf said, reaching up to stroke Issac's ears, causing the slight embarrassment Issac was feeling to fade into soft purrs.
Nathan grinned a lecherous grin, his long neck leaning forward a little. "I see. Well, introduce us, dear boy." He said, eyeing the Tiger, who curled against Louis with a little shiver.
Louis smiled and wrapped an arm around him. "Issac Dusk, meet Nathan Gardener. We were in school together. Nathan, meet Issac, my little brother at the dorm." Issac squirmed a bit under the Giraffe's continued gaze, but stood up and reached to shake Nathan's hand. "Pleased to meet you, Sir." he said, softly. Louis grinned from ear to ear. Nathan shook Issac's hand, then put his hand on his chin, regarding the Tiger closely.
Louis chuckled. "You'll have to excuse Nathan, he's dressing and undressing you in his mind." He said, snickering as Issac flushed a deep red, actually making the white places on his face turn a little pink. Nathan grinned. "Well, yes, dear boy, but to be fair, it is my job. Well, Issac, come in the back and lets get to work."
Issac gulped and looked to Louis, who gave a tiny smirk, standing up. "C'mon." he said, and the Giraffe and the Wolf walked ahead. Issac shivered, but followed. "I thought this was a store?" He said softly, his tail lashing as he looked around carefully.
"Indeed it is." he said, chuckling. They moved down a hallway, and approached a door, which opened automatically as the Giraffe approached. Nathan didn't seem to be doing anything but think while his wheelchair moved about. Issac finally spotted the neural relay on the back of his neck while they were walking in to what appeared to be the main part of the store.
There were racks of clothing, organized by size. On the walls were shelves and shelves of folded cloth diapers. There were bags of disposables as well. On one wall were clothes pressed flat under glass. Issac gaped. Every item in the store looked to be designed for kids under twelve, and yet, there wasn't an item that looked like it would fit anyone younger than a small adult. Some looked like they'd fit Louis. Some looked like they'd fit a sumo wrestler.
"Issac, be a dear, there's a laser fitting booth along there." He pointed to a doorway along one side of the shop. "Go in and strip naked, then step on the the red button." Louis grinned. "I'll go with. Can't have you taking off your own diaper, now, can we." Issac huffed. The Giraffe grinned. "Would either of you care for a soft drink? Tea? Coffee?" Louis asked for a coke, and Issac for some tea.
They walked in, Issac still flushed as they walked in. "Is this place... expensive?" He asked as they walked into the small booth. A nine foot circle was marked off with red and white stripes on one side, with an eight foot area inside the first circle clear. A small spot on the floor was marked. "Stand here." A red toggle button was set into the floor.
Louis sat Issac down on the bench, taking his shirt off, then unbuttoning his jeans as he laid him down. "A little, but Nathan still owes me for kicking a few bully's asses back in the day. We have the family discount. Plus, Rich trust fund kid, remember? I can afford it." he said, with a soft smile as he untaped the dry diaper and setting it aside, pocketing the wetness sensor disk.
Issac squirmed as Louis helped him up. "Alright." He said, walking timidly over to the device. The arm on the wall came to life as he stood in the circle, the lights on it snapping on, a soft hum could be heard. Issac kept his tail still, then stood on the button. The servos hummed to life as they spun around the Tiger. Nathan's voice came through a speaker. "Very good, now, lift tail please for the second run." Issac squirmed, then did as he was told.
The device spun around several more times, each time the Giraffe instructed Issac to move in a different way. "Arms over your head." "Arms straight out." "Very good. We're done now." The arm retracted and powered down, and Louis grinned, beckoning him over and holding up the diaper. "C'mon, lil boy." He said, beckoning Issac over and moving him to stand in front of him, deftly refastening the diaper while the Tiger was standing, then folding up the Tiger's clothes, much to his chagrin.
"Now now, no fussing. You'll be trying on clothing, so no sense in you getting dressed." Issac pawed at his opposite foot, causing the Wolf's heart to melt, reaching up and hugging Issac's middle. "You're so darn cute, kiddo. C'mon." He stood and lead the reluctant Tiger outside to the showroom, settling on another couch while Issac stood there in just his diaper.
Nathan was nowhere to be seen, but soon footsteps could be heard as a nearly featureless, long necked android dressed in a plain cloth diaper and a t-shirt walked along, carrying a stack of clothing, followed by the Giraffe, who grinned. "It just so happens that he's a perfect size 42". I have a ton of stuff that'll fit him off the rack."
Issac shivered as he looked at the android, which resembled the Giraffe in small ways. It set the stack down and wandered into another room. "Now, Lets see." The Giraffe said, going through the stack, pulling out an orange onesie with a small striped Tiger embroidered on the breast, "Something classic?" He asked, and Louis grinned. Issac blushed and pulled it on. Louis helped him fasten the snaps. Nathan beckoned him over. "Mmm. A little too loose in the rump. You need a thicker nappy." Issac squirmed.
Nathan had the Tiger try several more items on. A cloth diaper, a few more onesies, including several that looked quite plain and street-legal. "I can get custom prints on these if you have any you'd like." Nathan said with a smile as he had the Tiger put on his jeans and look in the mirror. "It just looks like a tucked in shirt, see?" Issac bit his lip and nodded. "It'll keep your diaper from sagging, even if you wet a lot. Also, the shirt is made from absorbent material, so even if you leak, you shouldn't get marks on your pants."
Issac flushed again.
Louis smiled. "I like everything so far... how about a few diaper covers?" The android walked back out, walking over to the shelves as the Giraffe smiled. "Certainly." The android walked over at a quick pace with a stack of plastic and cloth items of various colors, the Giraffe grinning as the android pulled out a frilly pink one. Issac whimpered and Louis giggled. "Aww. S'okay. You don't need to try these on." He smiled over at Nathan. "Well, What's our total up to now?" Nathan closed his eyes, and Louis's phone buzzed. Louis looked at it and grinned. "You're undercharging, Nathan." he said, and the Giraffe giggled.
"Well, consider it a viewing fee." he said, smiling at the Tiger. "Your boy is quite pretty." Issac hit tilt mode and sat down, curling against Louis's side, who wrapped an arm around him.
"He is." The Wolf said, sipping his soda. "Also, very shy and completely not used to the attention that's been given him the last few days." He mused for a moment, then said softly. "Alright. I'll take everything on the table, plus... hm, a case each of a thick plain nighttime disposables. Some stealthy day time ones, and a bag of the old fashioned plastic-cover baby ones. Also, seven of each of the cloth diapers and seven of each of these three covers." he said, pointing at the displays of each one as he described it, then looked down at Issac, finger hovering over a fourth display. "And a sample pack of pink frilly disposables, too." he said, licking Issac's forehead, who whined a little more, clinging tighter and trying to fold his legs, the bulge in his pants noticeable at this point.
Louis grinned. "What? You want more than just a sample pack?" Issac looked up with a bite of his lip, and gave a tiny nod. "That's a good boy." Louis said. "A case, then. We'll donate some of these to the group fund." Issac nodded, his hand slipping up to his muzzle as he instinctively sucked on his thumb, eyes wide. Louis's pupils dilated, and he wrapped an arm tightly around the Tiger.
Nathan totaled these up in his head, and Louis's phone buzzed again. "There you are. I'll wrap up the loose things and send the cases by mail." Louis smiled, looked at his phone, tapped a few keys and put it in his pocket. Nathan blinked, then smiled softly. "Thank you for the tip." he said, grin. Louis tipped an imaginary hat and finished his soda with a roguish grin.
At that very moment, both Louis and Issac's phones rang with 'Fire at Unity Hall' displayed in inch tall letters on the screen. All three looked alarmed, and Nathan closed his eyes. "A fire has been reported by the automated system... It's external on the first floor." He looked alarmed. "Molotov cocktail... Oh dear." He closed his eyes, lost in whatever information flow he was receiving through the neural relay on his neck. "You two should stay put for a while." He said. Footsteps could be heard, and both turned to see a headless exosuit walk up, empty. "I'm going to suit up, if you don't mind."
Both Wolf and Tiger watched, fascinated, as the suit reached down, outstretched it's arms, and lifted the Giraffe while its middle split open. The suit placed Nate inside, then sealed up around him, the Giraffe running in place for a moment, then doing a few jumping jacks. "Ahh. That's better. Now, events have been set in motion that require me to go to work. I can offer you the hospitality of some breakfast, if you'd like, or..." he thought for a moment, grinning. "Want to come along?"
Issac and Louis both blinked. "Um... I thought you worked here?" Louis said, and the Giraffe waved his hand. "No, no, dear boy, this is a hobby. My real work is... a little more physical in nature."
***
The Giraffe drove the plain black sedan as if he'd stolen it, which is to say, at the speed limit, obeying all traffic laws. His hands never moved, folded in his lap, but the wheel turned and the car steered itself through the sparse morning traffic. He grinned at the two. "Three sixty sensory input dome on the roof. Who needs mirrors?" he chuckled. After another five minutes or so, they pulled up at a warehouse marked "Terra Mater Import/Export."
"W-why are we here?" Issac asked softly, and Nathan chuckled. "This is my real job." He said. They drove up to a small garage door, which snapped open to let them inside. There was no obvious activity or security outside, but inside... they drove down a relatively steep ramp, then through another set of doors, they were greeted by a large lotus leaf design, painted floor to ceiling, one that the two had grown up with.
"Gentlemen." Nathan said, pulling up in front of a small auto-park station, exiting the vehicle. "Welcome to GAIA." An armed guard dressed in a similar exosuit nodded to Nathan.
Louis got out of the car, groaned, and put his palm over his face. "I knew it. I just knew it." Nathan gave a soft sigh.
"I know your father warned you away from us, Louis... but troubling events are in motion now. You're both in danger, and have no clue why. We're not the only ones that are acting in secret." Nathan sighed, tapping his suit's feet. "Lets go upstairs... I think that there is someone else who can explain things better than I can."
Louis huffed as he pulled Issac close. "Danger? Oh, and and who might this mysterious person be?"
Nathan smiled. "Your Mother."
Louis giggled, then passed out cold on the floor.
