Zachary grapples with the anxieties of maintaining intimate relationships with others and the expectation of having one's personal life goals already planned out while in college. So, when an old high school girlfriend suggests a radical proposal to form an open relationship with him, will Zachary feel comfortable enough to open himself up?

Zachary's eyes studied over the lush green fern leaves as the evening sunlight poured into the dorm room. The leaves and blooming flowers faced towards the source of light and blanket themselves in the sun's warm rays. The slender black panther performed his daily plant check, making sure each one was adequately watered and healthy. He hummed to himself and tended to the plants, satisfied by the results. After he changed the soil and added more nutrients, the plants have taken a liking to his care. And now, his small dorm room was transformed into his small botanical garden. Though before he tended to the last plant, the Peach Lily, his phone vibrated on the center coffee table.

Zachary looked over; he saw that someone texted him. He figured it must have been Mai checking in to see if he was still free tomorrow afternoon. She was especially excited for him to meet her boyfriend Omar. They insisted he come over to the nearby mall to celebrate his birthday. It didn't seem all that important to address it right away. Still, it was safer to check rather than assume. He grabbed the phone and saw that it was his boyfriend Mack, the spunky Russian Blue feline. Mack asked to come over to his dorm to spend the night.

Without a second thought, Zachary sent a reply and invited him over. He didn't mind having the smaller feline boyfriend around. There weren't many opportunities to hang out with him outside the lecture halls, especially during finals week. With all of his exams done, Zachary looked forward to the prospect of unwinding with Mack.

The black panther prepared and tidied the small dorm room. He stacked the text books, cleared the small coffee table of plants, and folded the rest of his laundry. Within a few minutes, he heard a knock at the door.

Zachary scurried over and welcomed the short Russian Blue in. Mack looked up to and immediately lunged forward for a hug. The small feline's face was smothered into the tall black panther's chest. Zachary lightly patted Mack's head fur, he felt the small felines grip tighten around him.

"Hey buddy, are you doing okay?" Zachary asked.

"Not really, just needed a place to stay tonight. Sorry for asking on such a notice, Z," Mack said.

"Oh it's no trouble, please come in," Zachary smiled.

With the door shut behind them, Zachary crouched down toward the mini fridge while Mack took off his shoes and sat on the center futon. The black panther grabbed some sodas and he sat beside the Russian Blue feline. He saw how Mack's eye lids were sagged and his eyes slightly bloodshot. Mack's cheeks were slightly sunken with the edges of his fuzzy cheek fur flatten from dried tears. Zachary scooted closer and leaned down to nuzzle Mack's forehead.

"What's got you down, cutie?" Zachary kissed his forehead.

Mack looked down, "I... had to drop out of a class to save myself from getting a failing grade. Never bombed a class before, and I don't know what I'm going to do."

"What subject did you struggle with?" Zachary asked.

"Chemistry, I just couldn't memorize all the English words for the periodic table and psyched myself out. If I fail the class again... I'll lose my scholarship," Mack chokes up.

"Hey... it's okay man. Just take a deep breath," Zachary said.

He softly reached over and rubbed Mack's backside and consoled him. Mack laid his head on the taller black panther's chest, he sniffled and let out a long-winded sigh. Zachary was aware how Mack was the first person in his family to attend college and a lot was weighing on him.

"I just feel like a failure, I don't know what to tell my folks back home," Mack rubbed his eyes.

"But you're not, I know what you're going through sucks. I just think you don't have to tell them about it right now, it can wait. You can still retake the class again next semester, and I can be there to help." Zachary offered.

"You would? Don't you have other classes to study for too?"

"I've already passed Chemistry last semester and I kept all my old notes. We can look over them together and I can help you prep for next. Listen, you're plenty smart already for learning English as a second language. We can work this out together."

"Z... I don't know what to say?"

"You don't need to, just more than happy to help out."

Zachary raised his paw to whip away a small tear that formed on the corner of Mack's cheek. He could hear the shorter feline let out a loud audible purr. Mack's green eyes shimmer brightly, his gaze looking up to the taller black panther. Zachary watched as Mack tilted his head up and straightened his back which caused his muzzle to inch close. Mack leaned forward and allowed his small lips to press against Zachary's; he brought him in for a kiss. Zachary leaned his head down and accepted the kiss, he felt the short feline's arms start to wrap around his slender body.

"Zachary..." Mack mumbled.

The short feline crawled onto the black panther's lap and towered over him. Zachary responded in kind; his arms had already softly enclosed around the short feline. With his paw's underneath Mack's shirt, Zachary felt the short feline showering him with deep passionate kisses. Mack's tongue glided along the black panther's lips, as though he knocked on them to ask for access. The black panther smiled and slightly opened his muzzle, he allowed Mack's tongue to slide inside his mouth.

Mack's purring caused his tongue to lightly vibrate, which caused Zachary's neckfur to ruffle. Their tongues intermingled and danced in each other's muzzles, the air around them became humid. Mack's obvious arousal had poked and nudged against the black feline's waist line. The Russian Blue cat reached down and began to undo their pants. Before long, both were stripped down naked with clothes scattered on the floor like missing puzzle pieces.

Zachary didn't mind when Mack was needy for more physical and intimate attention. While the black panther always found the small feline attractive, the main enjoyment he found was providing comfort for others. To see Mack's warm smile, bright eyes, and relaxed demeanor had struck a chord with Zachary. It was enough to bring him out of his shell and take an active role. He sought to build up his boyfriend's confidence and provide the best comfort he knew how.

Mack had begun to squeeze and stroke the black panther's manhood, which helped Zachary become fully aroused. Zachary leaned back on the futon; he captured the view of the sunset bathing Mack in its golden glow. The smaller feline licked his fingers and lubricated them, before he reached back to prep himself. The small foreskin dick pulsated, tiny droplets of pre cum thumped against Zachary's belly. Within a few seconds, Zachary felt the warm inner folds of Mack's walls cling to his cock. The black panther's stretchy foreskin tip was pulled back by Mack's tight walls and revealed the flared head. As if done effortlessly, Mack slowly glided down on Zachary's full length and reached the base. The feline's gorgeous blue furry rear seated on top of the black panther's lap. Mack nudged his hips from side to side, his blue furry arms covered his muzzle to muffle his moans.

Mack's length flared as the feline's hips glided along Zachary's manhood. The small feline always preferred to a slower riding session, he sought to savor and enjoy every single inch taken. Zachary didn't mind the slower pace; it made his lap less sore. With the added stimulation of Mack's inner rings tightly clenched around every contour of his manhood, Zachary released a low grunt roar. Mack deeply grinded into Zachary's hips, working the longer feline length.

Zachary said in a hushed tone, "Mack... you shouldn't have to work for it. Here, let me help."

The large black panther opened his lap, and reached over to grab onto the feline's large hips. He thrusted his hips up to the Russian Blue feline's rump. Mack purred and panted breath increased, his orgasm inched closer with long strands of pre oozed from the tip of the feline's length. Zachary looked up and gave him a nod, he signaled the smaller feline to give in and enjoy himself. Whatever mess is made, he could always clean up later. What was important for Zachary was bringing his small feline friend to an orgasm. Mack closed his eyes as he grinded himself against the black panther's lap, a feminine sounding moan escaped the feline's lips. Zachary felt the long strands of cum squirt across his chest and stomach, the small feline released his pent-up orgasm. The smaller feline's anal rings flexed periodically throughout the orgasm, which had brought Zachary close.

Just the sight of Mack smiling and moaning was enough that brought Zachary close to his orgasm. Mack rested his hands on the black panther's chest, he leaned down and stared at him.

"Z... release inside me. Please," Mack begged.

The black panther nodded, his head lifted up and nuzzled the feline's small fuzzy blue chest. A muffled grunt escaped his lips, Zachary released and sent ropes of seed into Mack. The feline's fuzzy blue arms tightly held onto Zachary's head. The black panther heard the low mumbled and purrs that resonated in his chest. Mack's tail swayed side to side, his hips slowly lifted up to slide himself off from the black panther's manhood.

Within a few seconds, a heavy suction sound echoed in the small room as the smaller feline freed himself from Zachary's cock. Mack leaned forward and rested on top of Zachary, he panted deeply and tried to catch his breath. Zachary chuckled, his large hands petted and scratched the underside of the Russian Blue's ears. He knew it usually only took a single session before Mack tired himself out. Before long, the small feline fell asleep in Zachary's arms.

The tall black panther scooped up the Mack in his long arms and carried him over to lay on his bed. Zachary figured that the emotionally draining event of dropping a class and the sudden release of all his pent-up energy must have completely drained the small feline. Zachary placed a towel underneath Mack's rump in case any cum spilled out before he proceeded to tidy up his small dorm room.

Zachary chuckled to himself when he saw the sodas were left on the coffee table unopened. He put one back in the mini fridge and guzzled down the other. The black panther then unfolded the futon bed and brought out the guest blanket and pillows. Once finished, he headed to the bathroom to clean and groom himself for tomorrow's visit. The less time he needed to spend getting ready in the morning, the more time was allowed to sleep in.

When Zachary stepped out of the small bathroom, he saw Mack stir awake and looked up to him.

"Sorry for passing out like that. I must have been totally wiped," Mack yawned and stretched out.

"It's alright, you can sleep in my bed if you want. I was going to make some dinner and then head to bed myself," Zachary walked over and leaned in to kiss the small feline's forehead.

When he uttered the word dinner, Mack's stomach yearned for a meal with a loud ravenous growl. Mack's ears folded over and looked down, he hoped Zachary didn't express annoyance at the feline's stomach growl. Zachary chuckled to himself and patted the Russian Blue's headfur.

"I'll make some for you as well. Does an egg and cheese sandwich sound good to you?" Zachary asked.

Mack nodded his head and scooted off the bed before he sat on the spread out futon. He watched as the taller black panther hunched over the small portable gas stove. Zachary quickly prepared a few cheese and egg sandwiches for the two of them along with a large bowl of fruit and grapes still kept fresh underneath a plastic wrap bowl. The egg and cheese satisfy their craving for protein while the assortment of fruit fills their bellies. Just as Mack finished his meal, the blue feline ears stood tall as he suddenly stood up.

"Oh shoot, I forgot! I meant to give you something. Hope I still have it with me!" Mack said.

Zachary watched as the smaller feline went behind the futon and searched his clothes. The feline's hands dug through every nook and cranny of his pockets. Everything from the jacket, the dress shirt, and the slacks. Eventually, Mack pulled out a small white box that was tucked away in a small secret pocket inside the jacket. The box was carefully concealed with expensive looking wrapping paper as the black panther's full name, Zachary Zimmer, was printed in a large bold elegant font. He scurried over and sat beside Zachary; the tall black panther gave him a raised eyebrow expression.

Mack held out the small present, "I know it isn't till tomorrow, but happy birthday! I hope you like it!"

Zachary swallowed the last bit of egg sandwich and stared at the box. He prayed that the gift wasn't something expensive. The large feline felt unworthy to accept lavish gifts, especially those who he meant to look after. Still, he put aside his fears and accepted the gift. He carefully cut the tap open with his sharp claws before he slid the contents of the box out. The black panther's amber eye carefully studied over the small pair of wireless pink earphones that laid in his hands.

Mack's tail twitched nervously, "Apologies for the color, they were selling quickly and that's all they had. I hope you still like it?"

Zachary smiled, "Why wouldn't I? They look amazing, I needed new earbuds for a while now. How did you know I needed a new pair?"

Mack's tail swayed from side to side, "Oh I saw you in the library trying to fix your old ones. I... figure a new pair was in order. Go on give it a try!"

Zachary nodded, he let Mack gently place them in his feline ears as the black panther hooked up his Bluetooth. The earbuds synced instantly and gave a cheery chime. He pulled up a song to test. Despite the small size, their surround sound quality was phenomenal. Zachary felt the soft bass notes rattle away at his ear along with the pure clean high notes. He paused the music and leaned over to hug Mack.

"I love them Mack, they sound amazing. You didn't have to give me these. But I appreciate and love them!" Zachary said.

Mack playfully punched his shoulder, "Hey come on, I had to. You've already given me so many gifts for my last two birthdays and our anniversary, remember? About time I did the same."

Zachary blushed, "Still... just not used to getting something so nice. Thanks, sweetheart."

"It's no trouble. So, any plans for tomorrow, babe?"

"Yeah actually, I'm going to see Mai and her boyfriend Omar, at the mall. They wanted me to come visit and happened to be in town just right around my birthday."

"I see. Is everything still fine between you and your old girlfriend?" Mack leaned closer.

Zachary's ears perked up, "Of course, we've worked out our concerns a long time ago."

"That's great! But, if it's alright for me to ask, what caused you two to break up in the first place?"

Zachary looked down and fidgeted his hands, "Well... it wasn't her fault that we broke up. I was just unsure if we could've stayed together after learning we were going to attend different universities. But, we've still kept in touch for a while now. And when Mai and Omar expressed interest in an open relationship with me, I wanted to give them a chance,"

"I see... and what about this Omar fellow? Is he just a friend of yours or..." Mack tampered off.

"It's not like a cuckold fetish or anything like that! Not that there's anything wrong with cuckoldry," Zachary flustered.

Mack blushed, "Oh no that wasn't what I mean. What I meant was; do you feel like there's a deeper connection with Omar too? Or is it just Mai you're after?"

Zachary swallowed, "I... like to think there is something more with Omar. He always wanted to have a deeper relationship with a guy and he said if it could be with anyone... it would be with someone like me. And I want to believe him."

Mack nuzzled his boyfriend close, "Even though I'm okay with an open relationship, I just want to make sure that you are going into this with the best of intentions. And not just pursuing someone without regarding the feelings for the other. I... wanted what's best for all of you is all."

Zachary nodded, "I know, and I'm glad you're looking after my best interest. Mai, Omar, and myself talked about it for months and gave each other some time to process things before taking the next step. And I feel like we're ready to meet. Though if you're comfortable, it would mean the world to me if you're able to come see Mai and Omar, tomorrow?"

"Of course, I wouldn't be opposed to meeting them. Just be sure to give me a heads up so that I'm... presentable when you three arrive. I have a few errands I need to run tomorrow, and last thing I want is to come late and be all sweaty," Mack blushed.

"Don't worry I will," Zachary chuckled.

"Cool and thanks again for letting me stay tonight," Mack softly kissed him.

Zachary returned the kiss and snuggled up to him. As the two spent hours together in the small dorm room, the black panther was the first to fall asleep before Mack. The Russian Blue feline stayed up to stream some movies on TV to pass the time. He knew that Zachary was a heavy sleeper and wouldn't be disturbed from resting. Eventually though, Mack had fallen asleep beside the tall black panther. Mack had crawled into Zachary's arms, with the black panther acting as the larger spoon. The large feline body insulated the cold air inside the dorm room which allowed Mack to fall asleep.

Even with the sun peeked through the thin curtains, Zachary's heavy slumber was not disturbed. The black panther felt odd that his alarm hadn't awakened him yet. He pulled himself out of the deep slumber and looked over to see Mack still asleep. In his tired state, the black panther crawled out from the futon bed and reached for the phone.

It was thirty minutes until the desired meet time at the mall. He was puzzled and flipped to his alarm and saw that the time was set for the evening, not the morning. In a sudden rush of panic, Zachary quickly dashed towards the restroom and grooms himself up. Once freshened up, he slid his clothes on, hopped into his shoes, and ran out of the door towards the staircase.

The last morning train was about to depart in five minutes. While the walk to the station could be done in under ten, Zachary knew he had to run if he were to make it. Once he reached the last few flights of stairs, he ducked his head and narrowly avoided hitting the top of the back door frame as he jogged towards the station. Thankfully, there wasn't much foot traffic, it was Saturday and most students were out and about downtown. It made it easier to avoid crowds along the walk path.

When he traveled his way through the labyrinth of stairs and hallways, he heard over the intercoms that the train was about to depart in two minutes. Zachary persisted despite the small tinge of pain in his chest, his fast legs carried him up the few flights of stairs before he stepped onto the train cart. With barely a minute to spare, he ducked his head while entering inside the cart and sat on a nearby open seat.

The black panther's tongue hung out from his muzzle as he tried to catch his breath, he sat and watched the train doors slide to a close before being carried off onto the tracks. If he had missed it, the only other practical choice would have been to hail a private cab which was super expensive for where he headed. It wasn't so much the distance that made it expensive, but the lack of large roadways that made traveling downtown costly and more time consuming, especially on weekends.

His phone vibrated, Mai had messaged him several times to confirm he was on his way. His fingers expertly tapped the screen as he gave a quick response and assured her that he would arrive on time. During the trip down the tracks, Zachary looked over himself and assessed his belongings. He dug through his pockets and found that only his wallet, pink wireless earbuds, and cellphone were there. The black panther cursed under his breath, he forgot his dorm room keys. Not only that but he forgot to water all the plants. And what he put on wasn't his best attire. A worn out white long sleeve t-shirt, some jeans, and some dilapidated sneakers.

Mack was still asleep in his futon bed when he had left. All he could do now was leave the Russian Blue feline several messages to stay inside, water the plants, and to tidy up the dorm room. It wasn't the first time he needed to rely on Mack to do him a solid. However, Zachary knew exactly how to butter him up and repay him for the favor. In exchange for doing what he asked, Zachary would give him some of his favorite take-out sushi lunch and also treat him to dinner on their next date. After the last message was sent Mack, he arrived at his stop and walked the rest of the way to the mall.

He popped in the pink earbuds to drown out the stop and go traffic with some music while he looked over the pictures from past text messages. Judging from Mai's text, Zachary was looking for his female jaguar friend in a purple long V-neck dress. The antelope boyfriend Omar, had worn a green vest and long sleeve white dress shirt with burgundy slacks. Zachary then saw the large window mall reflect sunlight and shined over the busy downtown area.

The black panther headed towards the mall and moseyed over to the entrance. Families, college students, and tourists all mixed and congregated at the mall. The front entrance was adorned with stores to entice the younger children while the more designer and high established stores were set further back. The halls of the mall reverberated conversations and footsteps, which made it hard for the feline to concentrate even with his pink earbuds off.

He then felt a hand tap his shoulder from behind, which caused his fur to stand straight and jump in place. Zachary looked behind and saw Mai and Omar before him, warm smiles adorn on their faces. Before Zachary said a word, he felt Mai rushed in and tightly held onto the tall panther tightly. A rush of hot blood flooded his face and he gave a small pat on her back. Mai's tail twitched from side to side, her claws playfully dug into the tall black panther's backside.

"Good to finally see you two! Hoped I haven't kept you long?" Zachary asked.

"Happy that you finally came, Zachary! Where did you get those cute earbuds?" Mai tilted her head.

"They were a birthday gift from my boyfriend, Mack!" Zachary smiled.

"Oh, the cute Russian Blue feline? Those earbuds look adorable on you! How are you two doing by the way?" Mai asked.

"We're doing great, still helping him out with his studies. But yeah, he'd love to meet you two once we head back."

"Wonderful, I'm excited to meet Mack later today! Anyway, here is my boyfriend, Omar!" Mai motioned her hands towards him.

Zachary reached his hand out to offer Omar a firm handshake. The lightly tanned antelope grinned and reached out to shake it. Though while they shook hands, Omar leaned closer and gave a small half hug to Zachary with one arm.

"Pleased to finally meet you, Zachary! Thank you for paying us a visit," Omar said.

Zachary's ears stood up and noted just how smooth and suave his voice was. While he still loomed over him, Omar's upright posture had made him seem relatively taller next to the hunched over slender black panther. Omar's calm yet confident outward presence acted as a counter balance to Mai's typical bubble gym over enthusiastic personality. The two seemed made for each other as Mai goes over and clings onto Omar's right arm.

Mai spoke, "So, I'm sure you're wondering why I've invited you here out of all the other places I could've brought you. Is that right?

Zachary nodded as she continued, "Well, considering it's your birthday today, Omar and I figure we treat you and take you out shopping! Omar is going to take you to get a new suit. And I will take you to the home garden store you've always talked about online and let you pick anything you want. Happy birthday, Zachary!"

Mai's green eyes glimmered, she looked up to Zachary to judge his response. Internally, he felt like crawling into his clothes and disappearing into the void of the fabric. He figured it was simply going to be a small date just to get to know Omar and to catch up with Mai. Zachary didn't expect to be spoiled and lavished with gifts for his birthday. Though in typical Mai fashion, she went ahead and surprised him with such a generous offer. She really hasn't changed that dramatically since high school. He previously thought before, the small elaborate surprise party she held for him with the rest of the drama club was overdoing it. But for Zachary, this might have taken the cake.

Zachary tried his best to not become overwhelmed by the offer and tried to modestly accept the proposal, "Mai you're far too kind. But it wouldn't feel right to accept these gifts right away. I'm sorry if she roped you into this, Omar."

Omar chuckled, "Nonsense, in fact it was my idea. When I suggested it to her, we talked it over and figured it was more appropriate to get your input for the gifts. It wouldn't have made sense to buy someone a new suit without knowing their measurements. Plus, with your hobby as a botanist, I'm sure there are some supplies that need replenishing."

Mai nodded, "That's right! You're going to graduate soon too! Wouldn't it make sense to find and pick out a suit now? That way you wouldn't have to rush to rent one like you did high school senior year?"

Zachary blushed, "That was because I didn't expect another growth spurt. I've stayed the same height since then!"

Mai giggled, "Maybe, but still it probably wouldn't hurt to at least consider a new one! And, you can use it later for job interviews too!"

Omar chimed in, "Of course, I have the perfect store in mind that will accommodate your species and size. We can head over now if you like?"

Zachary's ears folded down, "Well... I guess it wouldn't hurt to look."

"Great! Let's get started!" Mai grabbed his hand.

Zachary nodded and walked beside the two of them, Mai's hand tightly held onto his. It had been years since he held her hand like that since high school. Mai's soft hand felt warm and familiar, the way her fingers intertwined with his. The black panther looked over to Omar, who simply gave an approving grin. Zachary returned the smile, his hands held Mai's tightly. While the three have had conversations for two years now, it was still technically Zachary's first time meeting Omar in person.

And now that Mai and Omar found themselves graduating two years earlier than Zachary, they had enough free time to pay him a visit in his neck of the woods. The opportunity to deepen the relationship with Mai and open himself to a new one with Omar presented itself to Zachary.

Zachary saw how Omar's expression glowed when he walked beside the two, the antelope would often steel glances from the tall black panther. Yet, even the confident antelope was still a bit too nervous to show outward affection. Not so much that people weren't used to seeing same sex relationships, the trio happened to pass by a few. Rather, polyamory pairings are still somewhat taboo. They all implicitly were hyper aware of that. Still, Zachary enjoyed the small affection from Mai as though they were catching up for old time's sake.

With Omar in front, he led them to the gentleman's clothing store. The animal mannequins provided a diverse set of species and sizes, which promised passersby that any man can find the right fit for them. Before Zachary headed inside, Mai released her hold on his hand and looked up to him.

"Apologies, but I have to use the washroom real quick. Omar and I have been driving for over an hour! I'll be back!" Mai said.

"Okay, don't be long," Omar replied.

The jaguar gleefully skipped over to leave a kiss on Omar's cheek before she departed. Zachary waved and quickly followed Omar from behind. The antelope seemed to walk with purpose, his feet hooves tread through the labyrinth of isles and shelves to reach a section that dealt with large felines like Zachary. The black panther's eyes glazed over, overwhelmed by the vast selection of fine threaded suits and accessories. He looked over to Omar who seemed lost in thought.

"Hey Omar..." Zachary spoke slowly.

The antelope looked over and met his eye gaze. Zachary continued, "You don't have to get me anything super expensive. It's the thought that counts. I'm also not a big fan of elaborate suits. They tend to me very tight and uncomfortable for me to wear."

Omar nodded, "I understand your concerns, I truly do. But this isn't the first time I've picked out suits for someone else. I just ask you to trust me."

"Sure, again you don't need to break the bank to get me something very fancy!"

"Relax, it is my treat. Now then, may I take some measurements of you if that's alright?"

Zachary nodded as Omar grabbed the nearby measuring tape. The black panther could feel Omar carefully study over his body and his hands softly caress him while he measured the feline's skinny limbs. Zachary's cheeks were bright when Omar came close to measure his midsection and torso. The soft touches from Omar had made the black panther aroused, his jeans did little to hide the outline of his dick. Zachary looked away in hopes that Omar wasn't put off by it.

"Sorry," Zachary murmured.

Omar simply chuckled before he turned back towards the racks of clothes. He picked out two suits that seemed promising, one black and one dark navy blue along with a pair of dress shirts.

"I'm getting you two. One for when certain occasions call for black tie events and another for more formal everyday wear. Try this blue one on and see how it fits," Omar said.

Zachary nodded and grabbed the clothes and headed for the changing room. To his surprise, the dark navy suit and slacks had fit comfortably. The sleeves were at the appropriate length, it didn't tightly strangle his body, and he had better mobility compared to past suits. He came out and presented before Omar. The antelope stood up and approached.

"Oh my, don't you look dashing. How's the fit?" Omar asked.

"Not too bad actually, one of the better ones I've had for a long time. How were you able to find something so quickly?" Zachary replied.

"Done it plenty of times for my younger brothers. I know what to look for."

"Oh really? So, you're the eldest?"

"That's right, I had to set an example for the younger ones. Now then, let's see how you look with a tie," Omar pulled out a few ties.

The antelope only took a brief glance before he brought up a striped grey necktie to the black panther. Zachary lowered his head and shoulders and felt Omar's hands slide underneath his suit jacket. Omar had gotten close to the black panther's face, the antelope's grey blue eyes locked with his. His hands had a mind of his own as it kept tying Zachary's tie. Instead, Omar's main focus was on the feline before him. Without hesitation, he leaned in and softly placed a small peck on Zachary's lips. Though the momentary spark on Zachary's lips lasted only for a few seconds as Omar pulled away with a small chuckled. He finished tying the necktie and lightly tapped the feline's broad chest.

"There, the tie completes the look. Now we just need to get you some loafers," Omar turned to the shoe section.

The words were muffled to Zachary, all he heard was the intense heartbeat that slammed against his chest. A simple head nod was all he could respond with before he sat on a nearby bench. Omar returned with a few pairs of loafers and kneeled down to help Zachary try them on. Soon as Zachary slid on a pair, Mai hugged the black panther from behind.

"Who's this handsome man, Omar?" Mai peaked over Zachary's shoulder.

"Welcome back, darling. Arrived just in time," Omar leaned in and pecked her on the lips.

Zachary turned his head towards her, "Oh yeah, um we just about finished. Omar helped pick out everything for me."

"He certainly did a great job. Haven't seen you this spiffed up since prom. I think I still have a few photos of us I can show you, Omar," Mai giggled.

"Mai..." Zachary blushed.

Omar chuckled and watched as Mai brought up those old prom photos. He remembered how tight and form fitting that last minute rental suit was. The black panther blushed throughout Mai's excitement, which was not helped by Omar's compliment on how handsome he looked beside her. Once Zachary was dressed back into his normal clothes, Omar proceeded to purchase the two suits, dress shirts, and a pair of loafers for the black panther to keep. Zachary insisted he help carry the bags as the trio headed to one of the many indoor plant nurseries. This time, Mai took the lead as Omar and Zachary stayed side by side. With much of the afternoon still left to explore, Zachary found himself able to fully relax and enjoyed Mai and Omar's company. And in his mind, he secretly wished that the day could last only a little bit longer.

When the trio entered into the small plant nursery, Zachary was immediately drawn in by one plant in particular. His long feline tail stood tall as Zachary marveled at the African Violets that were in bloom. The different variety shades of purple captured the black panther's eyes, he knew they would make for an excellent addition to his small dorm room. Mai playfully nudged her hips against the tall black panther.

"Already see something you like? They're super pretty!" Mai's jaguar tail swayed.

"Saintpaulia ionantha, an east African specimen that makes for great houseplants," Omar said.

"You take care of houseplants too?" Zachary asked.

"Not currently at the moment, but I used to help mother with her garden growing up. Is there any specific reason you're drawn to this species of plants?"

"Whenever my father threw me out of the house for Spring break... my grandmother would let me stay over. She used to grow them all over the house and they always reminded me of her."

Mai's eyes bulged, "Oh yeah, I remember! Didn't you use African Violets in a poem contest you wrote for your grandmother, freshman year? I remember reading it in the year book."

"Yeah, I did. I'm surprised you remembered that. We hadn't officially met when I made that poem," Zachary responded.

"I know but, it was very moving to me. I saw how much you poured your soul into it and what she meant to you. So... I wanted to get to know you after that. And I'm so glad I did," Mai beamed.

Zachary's ears were lit like candles with the sudden revelation, he didn't know exactly why Mai had approached him back in high school. If memory serves correctly from his past year books, he hadn't received high marks for that poem as it was featured in second place. But to hear that it sparked an interest in Mai was something he never expected. With that Zachary's mind was made clear and he gathered a few African violets that were immature but would bloom within a few days.

And as promised, Mai purchased the potted plants and a small bag of fresh soil. When they left the small shop, Zachary felt his phone vibrate against his pocket. He saw that his boyfriend Mack had replied to his messages with several photos. A few of which showed the Russian Blue watering the plants exactly like Zachary instructed, and a selfie of himself with the dorm room tidied up. Zachary gave him his thanks in text and sent a heart emoji before he turned back to the two. The main concern to deal with now is where exactly to put all of his new found gifts. Omar suggested they could store them in his trunk and get some sushi at a nearby restaurant. It seemed like a fair compromise as sushi places also had a fine array of vegetarian dishes that could be prepared and served for Omar. They dropped Zachary's gifts off inside the trunk of Omar's lavished eletric luxury sedan before they made the walk towards the sushi establishment. After their lunch, Zachary picked up some take-out meals to give to Mack as the trio headed back to Omar's electric sedan. Mai and Omar also insisted they help him carry the gifts to his dorm room once they reached the destination. Zachary obliged and sat in the back of the sedan.

He allowed Mai to sit up with her boyfriend as Omar situated himself in his car. The black panther simply dozed off as the car sat in stop and go traffic while they made their way out of the downtown area. Zachary took mental notes about what they had planned to do for the rest of the day. He didn't want to breach the topic of sex with them just yet. He knew it would be a new experience for everyone. Omar was never intimate with another man and Mai hadn't ever slept with him.

Still, he figured it was best to let them be the ones to approach. Whether or not that did have a session together was secondary to Zachary. His primary concern was to keep the two entertained and comfortable for the night. While his dorm room was a little cozy for a large feline his size, he could still fit three people comfortably. And there was little concern for possible noise, his room was at the end of the hallway which made it easier to house guests. The only potential problem that could arise is if the couple stayed in his dorm room for an extra day as that might cause conflict with the faculty that dismayed students from hosting guests for more than one night. Still, it seemed highly unlikely that would ever occur.

The sun was about to set by the time the trio reached Zachary's university. The black panther sent Mack a text to let him know they would all come up in a few minutes, giving the feline some time to prep just like he promised. All three took a role and helped Zachary carry his gifts up to his dorm room. Once they reached the end of the hallway, Zachary knocked and slowly entered. He saw Mack softly sit up from the futon and turned to see Zachary walked in first. When Omar and Mai came into view, the Russian Blue tailed perked up. Mack gave them a warm wave before he went over to hug Zachary.

"Sorry for making you stay in here all day! Thanks for keeping an eye on the place," Zachary said, his arms slightly folded around the small feline while he held onto the shopping bags.

"It was no trouble! Also, nice to meet you guys! I'm Mack Zolotov!" He said.

Zachary decided to put all the gifts away and allowed the trio to make small talk. His feline ears still eavesdropped on the conversation as the black panther checked the rest of his plants.

Omar reached out and shook Mack's hand, "Pleasure to meet you. I'm Omar Bashar and this is my partner Mai Santos."

Mack shook both of their hands before he looked back to Omar, "Are you studying abroad too?"

Omar chuckled, "That isn't the case, but I take it you are? How have you been settling?"

"Doing much better lately! Z has helped me throughout my stay here in the states and I couldn't be happier! It's nice to know that he has other fine friends!" Mack said.

Mai giggles, "I'm glad you two are doing well! Are you also his roommate?"

"Sadly no, my parents back home can only afford me a one-bedroom dorm. And... for all intents and purposes my parents are unaware of the extent of my relationship with him," Mack rubbed his arm.

Mai's face softened, "Oh I'm so sorry to hear, I can't imagine how difficult it must be to keep that a secret."

"It can be sometimes, yes. But... even with the risks I still wanted a relationship with him. I figure since I'll be moving back to my home country when I finish university that he could look into dating other people. I trust that you two will take good care of Z and look out for his best interest?" Mack looked up.

Omar softly reached over to rub Mack's shoulder, "Of course, we'll do all we can to take good care of him. You have our word."

Mai nodded, "You know, you're more than welcome to stay here tonight if you want? I wouldn't mind getting to know you more!"

Mack purred from Omar's shoulder rub and Mai's compliment before he spoke, "Sadly, I'll have to decline for tonight. I have a few errands I need to run before everything closes for today. Plus, the faculty here don't like it when I stay over at Z's place for more than a day. I can still give you two my number if you wish?"

Mai and Omar nodded as the trio exchanged each other's social media and phone numbers. Zachary could hear his phone ping, which informed him that Mack was invited into their group chat. Before his departure, Mack hopped over to give the large black panther another firm hug and leaned up to kiss him. Zachary returned the small kiss and the three watched Mack close the door behind him. Everyone else had begun to settle inside the cozy dorm room

"He is just the most adorable cutie I've ever met! I can see why you two are together! How did the two of you meet?" Mai asked.

Zachary's muzzle flushed, "We got paired up in orientation because of our last names and I helped him navigate the university. After a while, we started to hang out for a few months and he later confessed his love for me. I also caught feelings for him too. But he was upset after admitting it because... well like you both heard, he'll be moving back home once he's finished with his studies. I'm gonna really miss him when the time comes..."

Zachary felt Mai gently hug him from behind, "I can't imagine how hard it must've been on the both of you."

Omar walked up beside the black panther, "Still, I'm sure Mack deeply appreciates your company and enjoys the intimate relationship you have with him. Was he hesitant about the prospects of you seeing other people?"

"Not at all, in fact he encouraged me to see other people that could live in the states with me. And it was before your guys offered an open relationship. Though admittedly, he was a bit worried if my long-distance relationship with the both of you would have lasted until now," Zachary said as he turned around to return the hug to Mai.

"Understandable, well I look forward to seeing him again. I'll make sure that Mai and I will visit you and Mack more often before your guys graduate. We love to invite your boyfriend over to our get together," Omar replied.

"I'm sure he would love that," Zachary smiled.

The black panther's train of thought drifted off as Omar suddenly let out a heavy sneeze. He blocked it with his arm and sniffled a bit. The large feline sniffed the air and noticed that the room was a bit stuffy with pollen. Normally, he would've had the room aired out during the day as the plants were kept in the sunlight. Though he just noticed the windows were closed, which trapped the excess pollen inside. Zachary gently released the hug from Mai and went under his bed, he tossed a few bottles of allergy medicine over to Omar.

"Apologies, I forgot to open a window before I left. Take some of these, they'll clear up your allergies," Zachary said.

Omar nodded as he took a few while Zachary gave him a bottle of water. The antelope let out a heavy sigh and looked over to him.

"Thanks, you've seemed to have prepared for everything. Does this happen often when you have Mack here?" Omar smiled.

"Yeah, sometimes. Though feel free to get comfortable and let me know if you two need anything," Zachary stammered.

"Oh! Is it alright if Mai and I strip down a bit?" Omar asked.

"Yeah... sure..." Zachary said with a shaky voice.

Mai giggled and approached him, "Aw, a bit nervous? We can stay clothed if you want?"

"It's fine, Mai. I'm just... still new to this myself," Zachary ears folded.

"Well, we can take it slow, Zachary. We just appreciate you housing us for today," Mai holds onto his hand.

He nodded and gently held onto hers. Zachary looked over and watched as Omar had already loosened his dress shirt and undone his vest. He saw that underneath Omar's tight formal clothes laid a very athletic and strong body. When Omar slid off his dress shirt, the antelope's lean and muscular body was on full display. Once he was down to his black briefs, a few strands of white pubic hair peaked out from above the waist bands. The tall feline then looked over to Mai and watched her step back to undo her dress. In all their years together, Zachary never saw his old high school sweetheart in anything less than a pair of gym shorts and a crop top. Yet now, the young woman stood before him with an intricate lacy white bra and underwear.

She leaned her head up and planted a kiss on Zachary's lips. The ends of his black fur coat started to relax as he gently stepped closer and held her. The jaguar's feline tongue softly laps along his, her slender arms gently slide underneath his white shirt. While they kissed, Zachary felt Omar come from behind to hug and embrace the tall feline. He could feel Omar's face nuzzled up to his neck fur as the two worked to strip him. The black panther found himself down to his white boxer briefs as the trio all headed for the unfolded futon bed.

The futon became a mix of different color fur coats as the three settled in. Omar laid on his side and watched as Mai climbed on top of Zachary. The feline jaguar grinded herself against Zachary's manhood, her warm vaginal walls firmly rubbed against him. She brought their muzzles close for a deep kiss, all the while her hands softly held and rubbed Zachary's length. Within a few moments, Zachary felt Mai slide onto him all the while she never broke the kiss. It had been so long for Zachary, the scent of her body, the sounds of her moans, and her slightly sweeten taste. His moans and roars could barely be contained from their passionate kisses.

"Zachary, I've missed you so much," Mai said.

He nodded and looked up to her, his fingers tightly held onto her hand. Mai's walls become extremely warm and slick, she completely enveloped his entire length. No matter how much he tried to speak, words had formed a lump in Zachary's throat. All he could do was give into his instincts. The black panther's hands tightly latched onto Mai's hips while he buried his face into her firm silk fur breasts. A massive hot head rush dulled his senses as he finished inside her. Mai's slender arms coiled around his head, her claws playfully glided into the black panthers headfur. Zachary looked up, his eyes met hers.

"Mai... I've missed you too!" He finally managed to speak.

She giggled and kissed him, "Thank you Zachary."

The jaguar gently lifted up her hips, she freed herself from Zachary's manhood. The black panther looked over and saw Omar with a sly grin displayed on his face. He crawled over from behind Mai and gently fondled her breasts.

"Enjoy yourself my dear?" Omar whispered.

Mai nodded; her face turned to his to kiss him. Zachary sat up and watched the two with a bottle of water in his hands. Mai laid on her back while Omar towered over the jaguar, his calm reassuring eyes gazed into hers. Without hesitation, he slid himself into Mai's slick vaginal walls and bucked his hips. They seemed to perfectly understand each other, little words were exchanged. It was as though he knew every inch of her body, from when he needed to adjust himself, when to slow down, and when to speed up.

Zachary stared in awe; his heart paced as though he ran a marathon. The sly antelope looked up to give Zachary a wink before he turned his attention back to Mai. The jaguar's claws lightly dragged down Omar's backside as the two had reached close to their orgasm. Within a few minutes, they let out a synchronized moan and finished. Zachary watched Omar slide himself out from Mai, and painted her stomach and breasts with his seed. She roared playfully, with her tail swayed beneath her. Omar let out a heavy sigh before he sat next to Zachary.

If the antelope could see the skin underneath black panther's fur, then he would see Zachary's entire face become red. His own arousal hadn't softened from the display from Mai and Omar. Zachary's eyes couldn't help but stare at Omar's wet cum soaked length while the two rested with bottled water. Mai crawled over to give both of them a kiss before she addressed Zachary.

"Is it alright if you and I take a shower?" She asked.

"Sadly, it can only fit one person at a time. Believe me, I've tried with Mack... but you can go first if you want," Zachary explained.

"Aw, such a shame. Well, I'll try and not keep you two boys waiting then," Mai said.

"I'll go in after you," Omar said.

"Great!" Mai's tail swayed.

After she gave both of them a firm kiss, the jaguar carefully climbed out from the futon and headed for the small indoor shower. Omar had scooted closer to Zachary, his eyes had also noticed that the black panther was still aroused.

"Would it be alright if we have some fun? Seems you could go one more round," Omar winked.

"I wouldn't mind, you seem like you could go one more round yourself. I got some lube you can use," Zachary reached down under his bed for the bottle.

"The thing is, I didn't plan to bottom. I tend to lean towards being more of a top. Would you mind bottoming for me?" Omar asked.

Zachary blushed, "Oh! You... wanted me to?"

"You don't have to if you're uncomfortable. We can still try something else?"

"It's okay... just no one has ever asked me to bottom. I've fingered myself before, but never had the real thing."

"I see... if you want, I could be your first?" Omar leaned closer.

Zachary's face had become hotter than the surface of the sun. While he was never opposed to bottoming, this was the first opportunity that he could experience it with another person. He had become bashful; it was though he was going through the motions of losing his virginity all over again.

Zachary swallowed, "I'm happy to let you be my first, just please be gentle. It might be a lot for me."

Omar pecked his lips, "Don't worry, I won't be rough with you like I was with Mai. I will go at your pace."

Zachary nodded and handed him the small bottle of lube. Omar loomed over the taller black panther and hoisted both of his legs up. Despite his shorter stature, Omar seemed to be in complete control and knew what to do. Zachary felt the antelope's fingers slowly prod inside him, he tested and judged the black feline's reaction. Zachary was a bit surprised that he could take a few of Omar's fingers without major discomfort. In fact, when the tips of his fingers methodically massaged the feline's prostate, Zachary's length stood tall and pulsated.

Omar chuckled, "Everything alright?"

Zachary nodded and closed his eyes. His long slender legs were spread out as Omar lined himself against the feline's entrance. He grabbed the base of his length and gave shallow thrusts at first. Zachary felt his tip probe and pump back and forth inside him. Once half of Omar's length nestled inside Zachary, the antelope took the plunge and fully slid himself inside. Zachary's eyes opened; a shaky gasp puffed from his lips.

"Too much?" Omar rubbed Zachary's cheek.

"Just... a bit sensitive when you hit my prostate. Go a bit slower, please?" Zachary huffed.

Omar nodded and proceeded to continue. He controlled himself to make sure his tip didn't ride up against Zachary's prostate as the antelope pumped back and forth. Even though he couldn't fully slide into him, Omar's smile said it all. He was thrilled to be inside Zachary, especially how the feline's anal walls tightly flex every contour of his length. He was also captivated by the many expressions Zachary's face would make which ranged from surprised, to bashful, to a lustful look.

Omar's hips work automatically at the right pace as Zachary's length bobs up and down in the air. The antelope leaned in close to whisper into Zachary's ear.

"You like that pretty kitty?" Omar chuckled.

"Yes..." Zachary mumbled.

"Mm? I didn't quite catch that," Omar teased.

The antelope bucked his hips to increase the speed. He still didn't fully plunge into Zachary as requested. Omar learned that while the feline's prostate was still too sensitive for a full breeding, the outer anal walls provided much of the pleasure for Zachary. The antelope kept up his pace and held down Zachary by his arms while he humped faster.

"Enjoy yourself, my pretty kitty?" Omar asked again.

Zachary's lips quivered, the words in his throat were stuck again. Whenever he tried to speak, the hot rush of pleasure intensified around the tip of his length. The feline's eye rolled back into his eyelids and his lips curled over his sharp white teeth. Omar watched as Zachary lifted his hips up and loudly groaned, the feline's length suddenly released large strands of seed that darted across his chest and stomach.

"Oh shit," Omar huffed.

He felt the feline walls contour his length, it felt as though Zachary had tried to pull his entire length in to keep inside him. The black panther pulled in close and nestled his face into Omar's soft neck fur, he let out heavy grunts and long-winded sighs while he had his first hands free orgasm. Omar softly kissed Zachary and stopped momentarily with his length still lodged inside the feline. He waited until the tip of Zachary's length shot its last few blanks. Afterwords, Zachary's entire anal walls had fully relaxed when Omar suddenly felt his entire length slide inside him comfortably. Zachary showed no discomfort and looked up to him.

"You... can keep going... till you finish!" Zachary said.

Omar nodded and proceeded to hoist the feline's legs onto his shoulders and resume the session. This time, he slammed himself into Zachary which caused his balls to slap against the feline's outer rear. Omar panted and grunted deeply as his orgasm inched closer. Within a few seconds, Omar threw his head back and let out a heavy sigh. He had finished inside Zachary and gave his last few doses of cum for the feline.

Once finished, he slid out from Zachary and gently settled the feline's legs down on the bed before he climbed on top of the black panther. Both of them were breathless, the room was heavy with musk and sweat. Omar leaned down and planted firm kisses onto Zachary's lips. Zachary lifted his chin to receive them, his moans were muffled by the antelope's smooth kissing. The both of them heard the door open, Mai stepped out with a towel folded around her waist.

The jaguar smiled at the sight of her two boys. They seemed to have gotten along nicely during her absence. She walked over and handed Zachary a small dry washcloth to clean himself with while he sat next to Omar.

"How was your first time with Zachary?" She said sweetly.

"He was excellent, couldn't have had a better experience," Omar winked at the black panther.

Zachary blushed and nodded while he whipped himself down with a washcloth. He watched Mai help Omar stand onto his hooved feet before the antelope headed to the bathroom to shower. Once Omar finished, Zachary followed suit to clean off the excess cum that was laden all over his black fur coat. Everyone had begun to unwind for the day as they settled in Zachary's room naked. Mai and Omar had sandwiched Zachary in the middle as the trio cuddled and watched movies for the remainder of the evening. For the black panther, it was still a relatively new experience to have two people cuddle and shower him with affection.

When his phone vibrated, Omar reached over on the floor next to his side of the futon to retrieve Zachary's pants. He handed it over to Zachary and resumed to cuddle the black panther. Zachary unlocked the screen and saw that Mack had messaged the trio in the group chat with several messages.

"Hope you three are having plenty of fun! Make lots of memories together! And don't be afraid to take some pictures," Mack teased with a wink emoji.

Mai saw the message and chuckled. She leaned in to kiss Zachary's cheek and whispered, "Maybe we'll take some photos later?"

Zachary nodded and blushed deeply, he replied back with a heart emoji and put his phone to sleep. Zachary then turned to give Mai a proper kiss on the lips before he turned his attention back to the movie.

Zachary never imagined that he would be at the point of his life that so many people would genuinely care and love him. While his new found love and emotional support could never fully heal old scars or stymie old bad habits of shutting himself in, he found himself opening up a little day by day. There were still many unknowns that laid ahead for Zachary. Yet all he had to do was think back to the deep relationships he's made with Mack, Mai, and Omar. Even if he may never know what his future endeavors were, all that mattered was the people that supported him right then and there in that very moment. And in Zachary's mind, the future can always wait.
