M/M here and I hope that you guys could be as harsh as possible with this story cause this is my first time writing such a long story. It's about 40 pages long with about 14k words. I know, now that long but it's a first for me cause I've never written anything this long before. I'm sure that there are many mistakes here and there but this is where I learn from you guys. So.... read along!


Self Esteem


Ding... Dong...

Dear students, the new semester has started. As the head principal of Richdales, I hoped that every one of you had a wonderful break during the holidays and you're all eager to get back to broadening your mind to a whole new chapter of your life. Let the studying, begin!!

Each and every fur groaned in unison as they rounded themselves up to read the little notice that their head of the university had written down. It's the new semester back in Richdales and, as per usual, there are still some students who are lagged out in their studies and wanted to continue on with their precious holidays.

The bell rang again, striking at eight in the morning. By this time, the halls began to dissipate from students as each of them quickly scrambled off to their respective classes for the day. Some were even lost but thankfully, some kind seniors were good enough to lend them a helping paw. Eventually, the hall way was quiet once again; as quiet as the graveyard.

A strong gust of wind bellowed from the outside compound as it blew in one direction. The start of the new day, a new semester, a new dawn, a new beginning.


"Alright class. My name is Mr. James and I think some of you might know me already from the previous semester." The professor began to introduce himself in front of the classroom, scrutinizing over his own students. Lowering his eyes a little, the ram professor was trying to identify if any of them were a mischief in his class. One hoof was stroking over his sizeable goatee under his chin and smirked away.

"As this is the first week, I know that some of you might change your mind in the last minute but no matter, it doesn't bother me much if you're taking this subject or not. The less students that I have, the easier my life is." He rolled his eyes and turned back to the whiteboard, taking up a black marker pen.

"Today's lesson and our first class, we will be talking about equilibrium of accounts. Now, who could tell me what is the proper equilibrium for an asset and equity?"

A few murmurs were heard from behind, some whispering to each other.

"What the fuck? I thought this was economy!" A fox hissed to his friend.

"You mean it isn't?" The said friend gasped in shock. "Dude! Wrong classroom!"

"What do you mean wrong classroom!" Another growled under his own breath.

"It's the fucking wrong classroom and wrong subject you doofus!"

"We've got to get out of here! Now! I hate accounts!"

Before they could even voice their own problem, or rather, dilemma, the front door of the room burst open. The door slammed through the wall with a loud bang that nearly shook the ram out of his own skin and fur. As the door opened up wide enough, a large striped tiger came panting in, sweat rolled off from the side of his cheek and trickled to the ground. Mr. James stared at the exhausted tiger like he was an alien from another planet.

"Excuse me but could you keep it down? There's a class going on. Are you in this class?" The ram eyed at him incredulously in a deadpan manner, "If so, I would be grateful if you took a seat right this instant."

"Wi-Will do... g-give me one moment." The tiger inhaled loudly, taking in as much air as his lungs could contain and exhaled just the same.

"Sit!"

"Y-Yes sir!"

The tiger scrambled into the class as he slammed the door shut behind him. Another bang was ensured and by the looks of it, Mr. James wasn't happy with what he did. If one could look closely to the professor, steam could have been seen fuming right above his head but many just giggled away.

"Um... o-oppss..?"

"SIT!!!" He cried out to the large tiger.

No words were exchanged in any proper sense as the stripped feline scrambled to the nearest seat possible. At this moment, he felt so very small in front of the professor. Despite his large and broad frame, he felt quite miniscule as the ram looked at him with demonic eyes. All hopes of trying to get into the right side of the professor were lost and there wasn't anything that he could do to change that.

I'm so very dead in this class...

"Hmpph." Mr. James turned around and continued with the day's lesson.

The tiger breathed a sigh of relief as he was free from the evil clutches of the ram. He laid his chin on the table and closed his eyes to regain back his own composure. Looking from side to side, he realized that he was sitting next to a lion. Not that there's anything wrong with it but looking from his own perspective, he could clearly see that this lion wasn't just a normal skinny lion. He was practically buffed from head to toe but this lion was a little... different.

Donning over a loose and sleeveless t-shirt, the lion didn't take heed over the looming eyes of the tiger. The shirt wasn't tight or anything to begin with and his pants... his pants were actually army type kind of pants. It isn't everyday that one could come across a fur that wore these kinds of trousers. Maybe it was on sale or some sort but man, it suits him greatly. Green was definitely the colour that he should be wearing often because it makes him look so... so.. what was the word that he was looking for? Manly?

The tiger gulped his own saliva down.

Hey... what am I afraid of anyways? I'm big too! I mean, I'm just as big as him. I hit the gym constantly.

True, the striped feline wasn't a fur to be messed around with. Actually, his unruly demeanour says it all when he crashed through the class. Wearing only a sleeveless tank-top, his biceps bulged off for every fur to see. Gaining confidence in himself, he puffed his chest out, sitting back up with a proud expression. However, his legs twitched slightly due to the sudden coldness that he was receiving. His fur stood on end when a sudden breeze whizzed along his leg and he yelped softly.

That small yelp managed to capture the lion's attention. Turning to the side, he frowned at the fidgeting tiger. His eyes were furrowed with confusion as he tried to deduce if anything was wrong with his seating partner. Instead of saying anything, there was a slight and awkward silence as they exchanged glances.

"Um... ah... N-Nothing..." the tiger gulped. "Just feeling slightly cold."

The lion shrugged and continued to pay attention to the lesson that he was being deprived from. He took no regards for the tiger but began to jot down notes for future reference. Once again, the tiger's eyes were glued on to this wonderful and beautiful specimen of a feline. Was it his mane? Or maybe, because he's such a handsome hunk that he couldn't take his eyes off? Or... or maybe it's because he's so mysterious?

As he stared more and more to the lion's arms, he found several scratches and marks all over. This lion isn't any ordinary lion, at all.

"Alright, class. I want someone to answer me this question. Should we consolidate the accounts of these three subsidiaries of this company?" Mr. James turned around and crossed his arms, waiting for an answer.

There was a dead silence looming over the very room. No one said anything, at all. It was a deafening silence. Apparently, no one knew the answer to his question. Each and everyone looked from side to side, front to back, trying to see if anyone would answer it. However, no one even dared to raise their paw up. Either that or no one wanted to recognize as a nerd.

The tiger scratched his head as well, wondering what the answer is. He just came in a few minutes ago. So, he has a valid reason if he got picked but honestly, what was the answer! As he raked his brain for any logical explanation, he heard a soft murmur from the quiet lion. Looking at his partner, he saw some scribbles being jotted down. Apparently, the lion knew the answer but didn't dare to say it. All he did was quietly mumble under his breath as if he was tutoring by himself.

Hissing softly, a nudge was given to him, shaking off from his own world

"Hey, answer it!" The tiger hissed, "You know the answer."

"Um..." he panicked.

Yep, he panicked. Literally panicked. If you looked closely, his pores were beginning to sweat bullets all of a sudden. For a big species, he sure is a pussy. Fidgeting a little, he buried his head even lower to his own notebook, not wanting to look at anyone. This clearly wasn't how things will be around here. With a swipe and push from the tiger, he managed to steal the feline's answer.

"The answer is yes."

There were slight whispers from every corner. "Why... Mr... Your name?" Mr. James squinted his eyes gently.

"Speedy, sir. The name's Speedy."

"Ah, right. Mr. Speedy. Tell us, why do you say that it's a yes?"

The tiger inhaled proudly and stole a glance over to the notebook.

Wow... he sure has beautiful handwriting.

"Because it shows a true and fair view to the company's stakeholders. In addition to this, the company would be able to show a proper P/E ratio and EPS for the annual report." The tiger breathed out.

Complete silence.

"Well done Mr. Speedy. Well done indeed!" The ram chimed delightfully, "Yes, as your classmate had said, it's to show a true and fair view to their stakeholders, especially towards auditors." He looked back and smiled. "You may seat."

God that was scary!

Speedy slumped on to his own seat, gently slamming his forehead on the table. He had no idea why he did that but he just did; stealing the answer from another fur and not only that, not from a wimpy nerd or anything but rather, a large masculine lion. Not what he usually does. Looking to the side, the lion looked even lower now. His face was nearly buried right under the table, cheeks blushed brightly red. Speedy tilted his head and scooted closer.

"Hey, you alright?"

He kept quiet.

"I'm sorry if I did that but I don't know what overcame me to just snatch it away from you like that. It's obviously wrong of me and - "

"It's okay." The lion snapped and took his notebook back, scribbling as fast as possible on what's written on the white board.

The tiger was taken aback by the sudden anger. He actually deserved to be snapped but the way he did it, it felt so... unthreatening. His voice... it was low and manly alright, not like those flamboyant looking males that he had seen around campus, skipping and jovially throwing themselves to anyone that took their interest. This one was slightly different. His actions, the way his paw moved around, his eyes fixated on to the board, everything felt dreamy about him.

Speedy continued to glue his eyes on to him, not taking off for one second. Eventually, he sighed softly.

I wonder if he's interested in me.


The hourly long lecturer was finally done; students began to fill the empty hallway that was left unattended for so long. Speedy stepped out of the room and inhaled as much fresh air as possible and exhaled just as loud, face flushed with contentment. A knock from the side shoulder shook him off from his day dream, growling at such rudeness. People these days sure ain't polite as they used to. Shaking his head, he opened up the bag that he had and dug in to it, trying find the next classroom and subject.

Right... no more going to the wrong class. Luckily enough, that was just an introduction and that got me off the hook.

Looking from left to right, he tried to find the lion once more. Somehow, the sea of students managed to shroud the large and bulking feline; which was quite a feat because there aren't many out here in Richdales that has the same frame as him. Chatters and screams could be heard from all over, making it look as if the hallway was an open circus but hey, who could blame them. It's the change of class and there are some that don't even have any more classes for the day. Thus, freeing them from any other lessons.

Speedy moaned and dragged himself off to the following subject. He would usually be ecstatic to attend the_language_ subject since that's what he was majoring in but his thoughts weren't there at the moment. Instead, he was thinking about the subjected feline. The worst part of this ordeal: not even knowing his name. He had seen many lions around in his life and most of them tried to avoid the most cliché name of all: Leo.

Sure, the name sounds hot and easy to remember but seriously, it's been used way too many times. Once more, he shrugged his shoulders, thinking of something positive to liven up his own day. Eventually, the class has been found.

Room 214

Opening the door, a few students had taken up to their respective seats and getting ready to learn. A smile crept up to his face as he recognized a few of his former classmates but he was given a slight shook when he looked at a corner. At the end of the room, sitting by the left corner, was the lion! As in, the orange lion that sat next to him in Accounting and what luck! An empty seat!

With agile feet, he managed to steal that very seat. The lion gasped softly while staring at the grinning tiger. Moving off a little, he tried to get some personal space between both of them. Despite his effort, Speedy kept coming closer.

"Uh... y-you have loads of space there." He gestured.

"Oh, right," Speedy rubbed the back of his head and blushed slightly, "Hey, ah... sorry about what happened in Accounting. That was uncalled for."

The lion growled and looked away. He clearly was angry at the tiger's previous actions but it was all too late now. No point crying over spilled milk; best to move on with it and prevent it from ever happening. Speedy recoiled back to his seat, slightly afraid but tried to make conversation.

"What's your name?"

"Leo,"

Speedy's eyes bulged open as wide as dinner plates. Who would have thought that their parents still use that name for their child. Now that's a little weird but regardless, if his name is Leo, so be it. Cliché is one thing but many would have agreed that that name suited him best. Leo: strong and easy to remember, one syllabus, direct and straightforward. Moreover, a handsome name for a hunk like him. However, one issue seems to be a barrier between that name and the lion's attitude... self esteem..?

Every single time a question was gestured to the lion, he seemed to fidget a lot and stammered under his own breath. Whenever something happens, he looked so frightened, as if something bad will occur at any given moment but in actually fact, he could do it with no hassle at all. He knew the answers and the method but he just isn't confident in what he was capable off.

All this in just a matter of moments, from Accounting to here.

"So... Leo... what are you majoring in?" The striped feline asked while resting his head on to this paw.

"Accounting."

One word.

"Accounting?"

"Yes, Accounting."

Another awkward silence. Students were beginning to fill the half empty classroom, taking their own seats and waiting for the professor to enter.

The silence was enough to drive Speedy up the wall and he wanted to make progress. "So... why are you in language class?"

"Because I'm taking it as a side subject," Leo replied nonchalantly. "And you?"

"Majoring in Language."

Before Leo could continue the small conversation, the door slammed open and in came the professor, carrying heaps of books. A few toppled over and the nearest pupil scrambled forth to grab them. Few giggled at the professor's antics but others were more than willing to lend him a helping paw. Eventually, all books were laid on the front desk.

Time is up.


Soon, lunch had arrived. Piles after piles of students flooded into the cafeteria to get their wanted meal and the hustle and bustle of the area seemed to distract many from their own thoughts. Screams and shouts from every corner reverberated through the air. Heck, some even threw packets of foods to each other due to the overly crowded place. Many have complained about how small the cafeteria was but all their voices were drowned by the so call 'we are low on budget' kind of tactic that they couldn't do much about it.

The line stretched for miles away but Speedy managed to get through the middle in time with Leo after their Language class. The tiger was happy enough to know the lion's name but you know what's better? Getting a much better acquaintance than what he already has. Leo wasn't the kind of feline that would talk a whole lot and judging from their previous classes, he's quite a bright student as well.

Both felines stood in line, not talking to each other but Speedy's urge to talk was boiling in his guts. He just didn't know what to talk about. Games? Food? Movie? TV? Sports? There are so many subjects that he could pop up but he was.... How to put it, afraid? Whenever he was around him, there is this mysterious vibe that he emitted and that turns him on a little. Again, he sighed from the lack of confidence and shyness.

Maybe standing in line like this and ordering their food in silence is for the best. However, that thought broke instantly when a large bear cut right in; standing in front of Leo like it was the right thing to do.

"What the fuck!" Speedy growled and pushed the ursine off, "Get in line, asshole."

The bear growled back and gave a menacing stare. "I was in line till you pushed me off, idiot."

"That's not being in line! You just cut in!"

"Is there any rule that says I can't cut in, hrm?"

"Fuck off!" The tiger balled up his fist and threatened even more, "We were here first."

"What are you so hyped up about? I'm not in front of you. You don't see this guy throwing a tantrum." He smirked and winked at Leo.

Speedy was taken aback by that counter argument. Who the heck does he think he is! And why doesn't Leo say anything about it!

"Dude," he turned the lion forcefully to face him and hissed, "What are you doing! Beat the crap out of him! What he did is wrong and you know it. Push him off!"

"B-But..." Leo stammered. It seemed that he was slightly off tangent. "It's only a few students more and we're there."

"Fuck those students. It's you we're talking about. It's HIM, cutting in line, in front of YOU." A slight tinge of hatred could be felt in the tiger's voice and he wasn't the kind of feline that you would want to mess with. "Go tell him off, now."

Leo hesitated for a moment, standing there as if his legs were rooted down to the ground. His blood went ice cold and ears laid flat on his head. He was actually shaking a little to tell the bear off. Doesn't he have the guts to utter something to the ursine? Was he actually going to let others do what they like in front of him and get bullied all the while?

His inhaled, chest heaved up to gain a better confidence. With shaking paws, he tapped on the ursine's shoulder. The bear turned and growled back. "What do you want?"

Leo gulped a little, feeling slightly small compared to the bear but in reality, he was far bigger physically. The lion hesitated again, pulling back but Speedy kept hissing beside his shoulder. He clearly wasn't going to give up and if making a scene would clear this whole thing up. By the gods, he will do it.

"Ah..." he gulped, "I heard that the chicken pie was fresh today. I think you should go get some."


As the day came to an end, the sun slowly descended beyond the horizon. The bright rays of the sun faded and the sky began to darken up. Most students have left the campus ground hours ago but some stayed in to get some extra research done for their newly arrived 'fresh from the oven' assignments. The campus is situated in quite a large area and their concourse plays a big part for students to gather and have their group studies together.

Outside, trees lusciously grew from the ground and grasses covered most of the area. Richdales took pride in the environment and they constantly try to plant new seedlings for each new semester. Under a shaded tree, two silhouettes were seen. One lying on his back lazily whiles the other buried under the book, leaning on the bark of the tree.

"Why did you do that?" Speedy spoke all of a sudden. He was quite relaxed with both arms crossed behind his head, lying on the grass as his eyes wandered to the skies above.

Leo took his eyes off from the book, absently staring at the stripped feline. "Do what?"

The tiger turned around to face his counterpart, "Why didn't you tell that stupid bear off?"

The lion moaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. He wanted to just forget about the whole incident that occurred in the cafeteria but this persistent feline wanted to bring it back up again. Leo rubbed his eyes gently and placed the book down. With a sigh, he replied monotonously.

"Because the chicken pie was good."

"Fuck the chicken pie!" Speedy cursed violently, "Why didn't you tell that bear off? What's your problem?"

"No, what is your problem questioning me like that. You're not my lawyer or my dad."

Those words stung back a little and he kept quiet, looking mournful. His thoughts of the lion being such a mysterious and good hunk had faded away. The more he learned about Leo, the more he saw a side that he had never seen before. It's true that one shouldn't judge a book by its covers. Look at Leo, he's such a handsome and muscled hunk that any girls would fall head over heels for and guys would tremble under their skin by just looking at him. Those bulging biceps and triceps could bend any one in half but he just... didn't use it at all. His soft demeanor towards others is the complete opposite of what he physically looked like.

Sighing as well, Speedy kept quiet, eyes wandered back to the darkening sky. Leo sighed just as loud and padded closer, lying next to the tiger with both paws on chest. "Look, I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry to me. I'm sorry that you're like this," he looked away, "You're a softy, aren't you..."

The lion didn't reply immediately. A few seconds passed through.

"I'm..." his mind tried to form the right words to reply back but it was a blank. He didn't feel like it's the best thing to say to someone that he just knew for only a day but the persistent attitude of that tiger was starting to build an unquestionable feeling deep within his soul. "I'm... w-ell..."

"You're what?"

"I'm a bi."

Speedy just shrugged it off. "So? That still didn't answer my question. Your sexuality is nothing of my concern." But in all honesty, it actually had an effect on him.

Well, at least I now know that I might have a chance with him.

"Okay, maybe not the best answer but the thing here is... I... I have a very low self confidence in myself and... um... a low self esteem too..

Finally, it was out.

"You?" The tiger bolted up and fixated his eyes on to the blushing lion. He looked as if he was trembling under all those fur. He just couldn't believe it. A lion, like him, having self confidence and esteem problem? What has the world gone to! It's not how the world goes!

"Dude, you're kidding me, right?"

"No, I'm not." He looked away.

Speedy chuckled slightly and patted on his friend's shoulder. "Hey, I'm sorry for snapping at you like this."

"Whatever."

"No, really. I'm really sorry for one: taking your answers without your permission and two: questioning your confidence." He smiled and rubbed his shoulders gently.

Leo didn't reply at all but just shrugged that paw away. He had just revealed his greatest weakness to a total stranger. Well, not a complete stranger since he will be his classmate for the rest of the semester but still, who on earth reveals their darkest secret to someone that you've met for only a day? It's just preposterous but he did.

"Can I come over to your place later?" The tiger asked without a hint of shyness.

And.... He wants to come over to my place. Trying to get into my head and find my other weakness, no doubt.

"Why?"

"Let's study together, hrm?"Speedy offered, "I'm not that good in accounts to begin with since my major is in language. You could tutor me and I could tutor you if you're unsure. I mean, we're friends, right?"

Friends...?

"Friends?" Leo whispered under his own breath.

"Yes, friends."

He heard.


Eventually, both feline had agreed to crash in the lion's den for the night. Soon, Leo was feeling a little less tensed up with the tiger and slowly, he got more and more attached to him. His feelings were in turmoil, unstable, unable to wrap his mind around the fact that he had a friend. It was his first year and semester and he had already gained a friend. In high school, he was an outcast. Due to his self esteem problem, he never dared challenge himself to approach others or get to know them better. He knew that they were far better than him and he kept to his own little world

Now... things seem to be a little different.

Speedy slumped on the couch with a long purr, feeling the strain on his back melting away. Stretching away, he got his shirt off, showing off those masculine packed abs and pectorals. Leo stopped whatever he was doing and blushed once more. Once again, he never was quite the feline to lay sprawl naked in his own domain. He never did dare to do that despite having the body and form of a Greek god. Flexed one or a few times in the bathroom mirror, yes but only to himself and to no one else.

Eventually, Speedy's purring got louder and louder as he rolled all over the couch. "Dude, what kind of couch is this? It's so comfortable."

Leo chuckled and said nothing. Heading over to the kitchen, he grabbed two cups and began making some hot cocoa. If they were going to study a little for the night, they might as well get comfortable and some snacks might do wonders. Within a few minutes, he managed to obtain what was needed for the night.

Entering to the living room where Speedy was still laying sprawled shirtless on the couch, rolling over and over again like he just had some catnip; he placed some food and drinks on the table. "Well, I think that that should do it, don't you think?"

He looked up and gasped away, placing a paw on his mouth to keep it close. What he saw completely threw him off balance, not to mention sexy as well.

There the tiger laid, both paws in front, clawing the air with a happy smile but that wasn't why he was in shock. It was the missing trousers that blew him away. The striped feline was nearly naked on his couch! Clad only in his underwear, he was a beautiful specimen to behold of. Upon closer inspection, Leo managed to trace how wonderful those stripes were. It stretched from his arms and stopped halfway through, continued with another stripe to make for the lost pathway in between fur.

His purrs were loud and crystal clear, like a little kitten and that body... wonderful male. Beautiful and massive chest, broad shoulders and abs that held no fat at all. Clearly he hit the gym just as often and perhaps, he should as well. Being a lion and all and having this kind of stature, it's best to get to the gym as often as possible. It was still a wonder to the lion though. He never had much exercise in high school. Just basic house gym; crunches, some dumbbells, jogging, endurance exercise and whatnot but the gym? That's a little too unnecessary.

Gulping down his own saliva, he continued to stare at the striped feline. "Um... Speedy...?"

He stopped momentarily, eyes opened up and blinked a few times. "Yes...? Oh...? Oh! Crap! Sorry! Sorry!" He quickly got up, rubbing the back of his head slightly. "J-Just... Just that, the couch is really comfy and... um... why am I half naked?"

Leo shrugged and sat next to him. "Don't exactly know. I was in the kitchen getting some snacks and when I came in, you were already in your underwear."

Speedy blushed and took a pillow to cover his reddening fur cheek.

"No need to be sorry about," Leo smiled back, "C'mon, let's get started with studying. I was actually wondering if you able to tell me about the reasoning of this question."

Flipping a few pages of the book, the orange lion searched for the particular topic of concern. Meanwhile, Speedy continued to blush. He had just presented himself, naked to the lion. Heck, better yet, in his underwear! Either he was very open with him or the couch had catnip in it because it's quite unusual for anyone to get naked in someone else's place. Heck, not to mention this being his first time crashing into his place!

I hope he didn't saw my sporting erection just now cause... damn my underwear is tight.

He winced slightly and tried to adjust without getting anyone to notice. It was quite hard to do so but eventually, he managed to position his hardening cock in a comfortable place. Sighing a little, he leaned back to the couch. Looking to the left, Leo continued to think and ponder upon the question that he was about to tackle. He's quite the studious type, isn't he? Always aiming high but what is it with his self esteem? There shouldn't be anything wrong with him. He has the looks, the brains even but he's just not brave enough to put his foot down. It's a disaster!

"Alright, answer me this," Leo turned with a book at both paw, "Why is it possible for a kid to learn more than one language at once?"

"Dude, what kind of question is that?" Speedy stared incredulously.

"Just answer the question."

The half naked feline sighed while hugging the pillow, "It's because a kid doesn't have any linguistic structure yet and with that in mind, a child is able to absorb more than they can, learn more than one language. Which also means that they won't be able to mess them all up."

Taking up the nearest pen, Leo began to jot that down, putting in words that he would clearly remember and understood in an instant. As the lion wrote every single word and form some sort of outline for his answer, Speedy tilted his head.

"What are you doing?"

"Noting it down, what do you think I'm doing?" The lion frowned.

"Dude, it's right there in the book," he pointed at the far end corner of the table, "It's all there."

He stopped momentarily, paw froze half way. "R-Really?"

"Yes, really," Speedy lurched forward a little from his spot and extended over to the end of the table. Grabbing at the end of the book, he managed to get hold of it but in turn, losses balance.

With a yelp, the striped feline fell to the side, knocking over Leo. The lion was just as surprised as he was and caught him at the right time but due the massive weight and bulk, both felines dropped on the floor with a loud thud. They groaned in unison.

"What was that...?" Leo rubbed his head but blushed all of a sudden.

Looking right in front of him, he's not the only one that has reddening cheeks. Speedy was staring directly into his eyes and was locked into a trance, practically lost in those beautiful irises. Their mouths were clamped shut and each gulped their saliva as if those were their only source of water. No words were uttered out; none.

Lying on the ground with the tiger atop of the lion, Speedy licked his lips unconsciously. Mind was in auto-pilot now, lust slowly crept up to his system and he did was he felt was right. Lips moved closer and closer, inches before each other. As the gap closes up, he stopped. They could smell each other's musk at this point on and breathe as well. With a soft and subtle lick, it lapped gently at those soft lips.

Leo blushed even more and body trembled all of a sudden, furs standing on end. He felt... right... and good... and... what was this tiger thinking...? They've only met for a day and he's trying to hit on him? You've got to be joking, right? But why do I feel like I should return back the favour? Should I?

M-Maybe... j-just one lick?

In the end, his decision had been made. Heart thumped on his chest like a hammer banging on steel, pulling up as much courage as he could, he gave a quick and gently lick to the tiger's lips.

I did it!

"Y-Y-You..." Speedy gasped softly.

"M-Me....Me?" He replied stupidly.

Sparks actually burst into each other's mind when Speedy closed in the gap between their lips. They kissed. Oh yeah, they kissed alright. Kissed right on the floor and it felt good. No, scratch that, it felt right and good. No, better yet! It felt awesome!

"Mmm...." Both feline purred in unison with closed eyes, enjoying each other's soft and delicious lips. Maw opened and closed occasionally, exchanging saliva as their passionate kiss blossomed into something more. Paws began to roam and explore simultaneously.

Leo had the opportunity first. Both paws caressed along the back of his counterpart, eliciting another purr of delight. The feel of the tiger's back was just wonderful. The fur, soft and subtle, like touching a soft puffy cloud; his body, hard as well, with muscles travelling from every valley of that beautiful frame. It was just wonderful to feel another person. No, better yet, to feel another male... He never had anyone to hug before, other than his parents but this feeling is completely different.

He was in the presence of a strong male that is actually quite a good kisser. His moans were music to his ears and he needed to hear more of it. To be honest, he wanted to hear those moans! It was like a benchmark to him. With those soft and beautiful sounds, he knew that his actions were the right one. If it was working for the tiger, it was pure ecstasy to him.

As those calloused paws roamed about, it was Speedy's turn to feel his body convulse and trembled under it. He was once in a relationship before and he knew what turned him on exactly and what this particular feline was doing... it was actually turning him on in more ways than one. Eventually, the paws went lower and lower, cupping on those beautifully shaped ass. Eyes bulges open for a moment but swooned about as his body melted like creamy butter spreading on bread. Flickering of eyes fluttered like butterfly wings, those manly paws giving a firm and hard grip.

Speedy tried to keep his mind off from the amount of lust that was invading his senses but it was proving to be way harder than he had thought it would be. Every time he had sex with, he tried to hold on as much as possible for the intimacy to settle in but this kind of hard and rough touch was pushing him over board. That underwear that kept his hidden treasure was straining painful and the urge to just tear them off was more evident than ever.

However, that would completely spoil the mood because both felines only knew each other for less than 24 hours and here they are, wanting to get some 'let's get into your pants' situation. It's awkward to say the most. Many thoughts raced through Speedy's mind and Leo wasn't far behind. Eventually, the tiger pulled back as fast as possible. His breathes were bated and ragged, trying to inhale as much air as possible. That simple kiss was just as erotic as any kiss that he had but this was.... A wee bit different. It was more than sparks... it was.... It was...

Fireworks with more than just the usual works?

Yeah, something like that.

Sitting next to the lion, Speedy licked his lips off from any remaining saliva that he had shared. Paws rubbing the back of his head while the other covering crotch. It would most definitely be awkward to show his personal excitement to him but it should be normal, right? He gulped and chuckled softly.

"I...um... I-I'm sorry..." his cheeks blushed slightly, "I'm sorry for-for taking advantage of you."

The lion got up and smiled a warm one.

That smile... that beautiful and serene smile. He look so innocent and naïve. So cute and adorable; smart, handsome, sexy, manly...

Without knowing it, Speedy ran a finger across Leo's chest, tracing slowly from that point and dragged all the way down to abs. Yes, definitely hard. Opening up his paws, he felt around those massive pecs and abs once more. Thank goodness for the thin layer of shirt that failed to cover his upper torso. It would be a shame to hide all those manly goodness.

"Hey, Speedy?" Leo murred softly.

"Yeah?" He replied absentmindedly

"Do you like men?"

."Obviously..." Paws continued to play around, occasionally massaging from one spot to the other.

"Do you... I mean... eh..." The large lion was stammering, mind running wild with so many questions but he just stopped there. "Do you...um... would y-you... you like..." A lump got stuck in between his throat.

Please ask me if you want to mate me. Please! God... I... I need to have you!

Leo was breaking out in sweat, "Do you like cookies!!!"

What the fuck?!

"Do you like cookies?! I've got loads of them in the kitchen! Give me one moment!" Leo scrambled to his feet, tripping once but picked himself up. "Mum made some for me and it's really really good! Have some!"

Speedy sat there with bewilderment. Did he just dodge the most important question of the night? With cookies...? He's kidding, right?

Moments later, he was out with a tray of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. The aroma wafted through the enclosed room, attacking each other's nostrils. By this time, Leo grabbed one and started munching on it. Taking one, he offered it over to Speedy who was still stoned in the middle of the room.

Yep, he just avoided sex with cookies. Amazing.

"Yes, Leo, I love to have cookies."

This is going to be a looonnngg semester.


Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months and before you know it, it was halfway through the semester already. The hustle and bustle of the campus continued to be the same since the start of class but that's how it is. Events after events after events were held to encourage students to participate in them. Some even found love in those events but others, not so much. Once more, the activists around campus started a 'Go Green' campaign again, putting up concerns and warning about how the world is about to end. Not to mention the Goths joining in. They are far scarier than demons themselves.

The crisp and humid atmosphere of the evening invaded the classroom. Some even began to groan away at such weird hours for a class. Whoever made classes in the evening of about 4pm should be damned to hell. It's evening! Hot! Tension and the brain probably died on the way to class for some.

Although some were restless and confused with what the lesson was going on but Leo wasn't perturb by the ominous environment. His mind was sharp and ready to absorb as much knowledge as he could gain from the professor. Paws were busy scattering notes while writing them down as fast as possible. His table was a mess! Notes were strewn from one corner to the other, books all over the floor. Needless to say, his work place was a disaster area.

Meanwhile, Speedy was snoring away beside him. It was soft at first but slowly, as time passes by, the snores began to climb in a crescendo. Leo was tired of nudging him awake and every time his snores went up to an alarming rate, he would just shake him awake but alas, it wouldn't work. His eyes felt like magnets attached to each other, forcing those lids to clamp shut and say 'Nighty Night' any time soon.

Eventually, he was tired of doing the same thing over and over again. The lion let him be. If he's going to humiliate himself like that... Well, it's better than being humiliate in front of public, outside.

"Class! I hope that you read last week's weekly chapter on linguistic studies!" The professor bellowed. Being a lion as well, he was, however, not one of the large species. Slender body clad over with formal wear and a tie. One paw gripped behind his back while the other holding the marker pen to write any crucial information for his own students. However, what he lacks he made up with voice. Damn his voice is loud. It sounds as if like he swallowed a whole microphone when he was a child!

"I hope you all did!" He growled, "Now, I want any one of you to answer me this question. Why is Saussure considered the "father" of linguistic studies!"

The class went silent. It was always this way, ever since the beginning of the semester. Sometimes, the lion professor was so fed up with no one answering his questions that he threatened to lower each and every one's mark for the final examination. It was a good threat though but he never had the heart to do so.

"Mark! Answer!"

The mouse yelped and scrambled to open the related page.

He sighed.

"Tom!"

"Ack!" The hyena fell off from his chair.

He slapped a paw over to his forehead by this time around. "When are these students ever going to buckle up for their exams," murmured softly under his breath.

Leo shook his head. He knew the answer. Ever since Speedy started their so call 'group study' (which only consist of two) in each other's places, they are far knowledgeable compared to the rest. However....

Should I even answer him...?

"Class, please give me an answer."

I mean, should I answer? I-I'm scared...

"If none of you could give me the right answer, all of you are going to stay here till midnight if I have to and I am not joking."

Leo raked his mind. He knew the answer, it was definitely that answer but why couldn't he muster up the courage to answer it. Speedy had always told him one thing: everyone is flawed. Not a single fur in the world is a perfect but if one were to try and control the flaw, try to make up for it, they would be a better individual altogether.

The lion sighed softly. But he was afraid. Afraid that overconfidence could affect him entirely and the wrong answer means humiliation in front of the class and professor. Once more, he tried to shake away the negativity.

"Dude, just fucking answer him so I can sleep." A soft whisper ringed in his ears.

Looks like someone just got up from his deep slumber. Speedy yawned and stretched as high as possible. "Just answer him, please? How the hell can I sleep with a boom box voice right in front of me?"

"B-But..."

"Leo, look. You know the answer. Just hold on to your gut, muster up the courage and answer him." Speedy placed his paws over to the lion's abs, pushing inside to emphasize on his point.

The lion gasped and blushed.

Oh yeah, one thing that Speedy has been for this lion: his own personal therapist. The striped feline was very encouraging throughout the whole semester and he had helped him in more ways than one. He taught him about self confidence, how to increase your own self esteem and better yet, standing up for your own self. All the while, he was as passive as can be but now, aggressiveness slowly creeps up inside.

Leo looked at the tiger and smiled. "Alright."

He raised his right paw, getting the professor's attention. "Yes, Mr. Leo. You have the answer, I assume?"

"Yes, professor," he nodded. "Saussure was considered the "father" of linguistic studies because he was the one who founded the structuralist studies which is based on the written language."

The lion tensed up for a moment. Did he give in the wrong answer? Will he be humiliated?!

He paused, giving a broad smile back to Leo. "Looks like someone has been hitting the books lately. Yes, Mr. Leo. That is the right answer. Saussure was considered the "father" of linguistic due to the fact that he was the founder of structuralist studies. I think you lazy bums should be more tentative in class like Leo here. Note this down cause it's going to be in your finals."


Night had fallen and by this time around, many were back to their dorm but for both lion and tiger, they had only begun their night. Their dinner was in an Italian restaurant which was recommended by one of their peers. Apparently, the place was fully packed during the night but it seems like they were in luck. It wasn't as full as they expected it to be but instead, it looked as if like it was like any normal day.

They both joked and laughed at each other's jokes but most of the time; it was about school, class, the subject and professors. Dinner was done but they insist on sitting there longer. It was way too comfortable to move anyways but all things have to end. Well, actually, they were kicked out of the place.

"I can't believe that they kicked us out!" Speedy growled and crossed his arms.

"Please, I think that they have the right to kick us out. You do know that we've been there for like two hours, right?" Leo defended.

"Two hours?"

"Yep! Two hours!"

The striped feline giggled. "So now what?"

"Uh..." Leo stopped walking and stood under the street lamp, thinking of something to do for the night. "Well, we don't have any classes tomorrow. So... that means that we have a free day tomorrow. You want to do anything late?"

"You know... I've been thinking..."

"Thinking?"

"Yes, thinking of something," Speedy slowly paced forward, trotting away, "We've been like... together for a while, no?"

Leo blushed, "Y-Yeah... kinda..."

"And we kissed, no?"

"Mmmmhmmm..."

"Not once but a few times. We've slept together, naked even..."

The lion stopped and raised an eyebrow inquisitively, "What are you trying to imply?"

"What I'm trying to say here is," he moved back and leaned closer, kissing on the lion's nose, "I was thinking that we might... you know... mate... for the night?"

It felt like the world just stopped for the moment. The breeze of the cooling night drifted in the air, caressing against each other's soft fur. Speedy just stood there with his arms behind his back, pacing a little but tried not to show how anxious he is. Meanwhile, Leo was dumbstruck in place, rooted to the ground but he shook himself off from it.

"You're kidding, right?"

"No, no I'm not, Leo. No I'm not."

"But... But... I mean... mate? I... uh..." Leo had a large paw over the back of his head, rubbing out of confusion. Sure, it sounded weird, not to mention subtle and right to the point of wanting to have sex but it looks way too early for both of them to do it. He wasn't much of a virgin in terms of having another male for sex. True, he'd jerked around every now and then in high school and lost his virginity while at a gay bar but getting into a relationship and not exactly a one night stand; big decision of his life.

"Speedy, isn't it too early for mating? I mean... we're not exactly boyfriends, at all. You're just my friend that actually helped me a whole lot in classes and university. We're not exactly an item, you know."

Speedy shook his head. "Answer me this. When we kissed, did you like it?"

"Y-Yes..."

"Do we sleep together?"

"Sometimes, yes." A little concern over how true the answer is.

"Do we meet every time and have fun?"

"Yes but only as friends!" He defended.

"Alright then, do you like cuddling at night, with me when it's cold?"

This time, Leo blushed at that question. Rubbing both paws together, he hugged himself. "Y-Yes... I-I like it."

"No, you like it? Or love it?"

Another trick question and no way out, "I-I...I a-actually love it more than like."

"Why?"

"Because it's cozy and... and you're very good at it," he looked up to the striped feline, "And it's wonderful to just touch you... to feel your body, to feel the caress of another,"

With a smile, Speedy moved closer and hugged as tight as he could over to the lion. His grip was hard and assuring, giving more than just encouragement. Leo responded back with a hug back. However, it wasn't just any ordinary hug. It was more loving than just a hug. Paws actually roamed each other's back, feeling the smoothness of their furs and mound of muscles underneath them.

"Do you have the desire to mate?" Speedy asked in a hushed tone, "If you're not ready, I understand and won't push you but if you are, let's go to my place."

"Y-You're place?"

"Yes, silly. My place."

"What about Falcon?"

"That snow leopard?" The tiger turned to face him, "He's not going to be around. I kicked him out tonight, on purpose too."

Leo frowned back. "You're devious."

"I take that as a compliment."


Soon after, both felines had reached their destination. It still felt awkward to the lion but what could he do about it? He actually wanted to mate with that hunk, that slab of hunky meat that was laid right in front of him ever since day one. It was more than just meat, it was love. No one had ever made him so full and content before, not to mention how good he had done with opening his heart to public.

Leo went in without a word while Speedy locked the door behind. He clearly wanted more than just privacy for the night. Looking around the place, nothing out of the ordinary. If Speedy had been planning on this night, he must have made sure everything was done right but nothing seems out of place. The couch, carpet, table, chairs, decoration; they are still the same. One might think that he would go the distance to make the place more roomy and romantic.

The lion was too absorbed in his mind that he didn't realize that a pair of paws had wrapped itself around his broad chest. A soft murmur and breath was blown on his neck and he shuddered at it. Those beautiful set of tiger paws went under the shirt and slowly caressed along that body. Leo was more than happy to elicit a small set of purrs and murrs for the other feline. His touch was just soft and just right. No matter what he did, it felt like a touch from the angels above.

The tiger's breathing just behind his nape sent shivers down his spine. Eyes were closed tightly, enjoying the wonderful feel of a male. Oh, how he wished that this would never end. Whenever he came in contact with Speedy, sparks always burst right in his mind. All his problems seemed to fade away, no worries; all there is would be love and forgiveness. Speedy continued his soft ministration, wanting to just let the lion enjoy it all. Paws glided even higher now and this time, taking off that shirt that covered his masculinity.

"Leo... you've got such soft fur..." Speedy purred in instinct, "And these muscles are just perfect for your body."

The orange feline was purring happily as well but a sudden thought hit him hard. What if I'm not good enough for him! W-What if we were just destined to be temporary lovers and not permanent? The rejection... can I handle such failure? I mean...

Speedy was already in his own world; nostrils flaring with lust as he buried his face all over the lion's neck, occasionally giving gentle licks. He has yet to feel his counterpart's insecurity and those touches stopped completely when Leo broke free from his embrace.

"Speedy... maybe it's not a good idea, you know?" He gulped and looked nervous, "We're very unsure about each other and I don't think I'm up to your standard."

"Leo, what are you mumbling about?" Speedy crossed his arms in annoyance, "What do you mean by 'I'm not up to your standard'?"

"Just - "

Those words were unfinished when a snow leopard burst into the room. As the other feline walked in between the two hulking hunks, he smiled at both of them. Nothing much could be said about the spotted feline though; pretty much an average Joe with an average build. Not a body builder at all but he was happy with that lithe frame; never went the trouble to actually build some muscles on them.

"What's up?" He casually waved.

"Grr... Falcon! What the hell are you doing here! Didn't I gave you money for some movies or some sort? Didn't I say that I wanted this place to be empty by eight?" Speedy was obviously angry at him.

"What? The movie hasn't started yet. It's still early and I actually have one more hour before its showing. Plus, the gang wasn't ready yet. You know girls. Puff puff, pretty pretty, swoon swoon. Being all girly at night." Falcon reasoned with a slight grin.

"Falcon!"

"What?"

"Get... out!"

"It's okay!" Leo butted in. "It's okay. It's okay. Don't be angry. Look, Speedy... I'm kinda tired and it's been a long night. I'm gonna jump to bed early."

"B-But!"

"It's okay," he looked away with shame, "I'm sorry..."

"Wait! Leo!" And he was gone to the bedroom.

The tiger had every intention to reason back with him but a tug from his right arm stopped him. Falcon stared incredulously. This time, it wasn't the calm and joking way that he had shown a few seconds ago. Now... it was serious. "Come with me to the kitchen, now."

Speedy growled. Stealing a glance towards the room that the lion had entered in, he sighed and followed to the kitchen. Arriving there, Falcon took two cups from the top cupboard and poured out some milk. Once the glass was filled up, he handed one over. The tiger was irritated that his plan was foiled by his own roommate but there might still be hope if he left the kitchen.

"Don't even think about it." Falcon took a sip from his own cup.

"Falcon, what are you up to? I was just about to reason with Leo and you just had to ruin everything! Why are you doing this!?" His voice flared up with anger.

"For your own good, that's what." The snow leopard said in a calm manner.

"What are you playing at?"

"All you want is sex from him, don't you?"

"What?!" A gasped took off, "W-What on earth are you talking about? I don't want to just get into his pants, you know."

"Admit it," this time, the spotted feline slammed the cup down, "You've been aggressive towards others before and I know your plan. When they are at their lowest or when they melt into your paws like butter, you just want to fuck the heck out of them."

Speedy looked taken aback by that comment. True... this isn't his first semester in college and last time, he brought back about four furs into the apartment; fucking each and every one of them. "But Leo is different!"

That's also true. His heart acted like the raging rivers, constantly disturbed by his own emotions. No other fur had made him jump as giddy like a little school girl before and this is what he like. No, this is what he loved. Every time they kissed, it was just wonderful. His body tingled with glee, yearning more from the orange lion but what more could he get other than some touches and kisses? Both were very much open in their friendship but mating? Fucking in bed? That's kinda crossing the boundaries of friends.

"Leo is different? How is he different? He's suffering from low self esteem and you know it." Once more, the snow leopard was right.

"So what? I'm helping him cope and moving along."

"You're getting close to him. Sooner or later, you're going to dump him off for another hot guy."

"No," Speedy shook his head, "You're wrong. This is where you're wrong. I like Leo... actually... I love him. He's such a good friend and lover."

"I highly doubt that your method of 'getting him' is appropriate." Falcon raised two fingers up, making an inverted comma with them to emphasize his point.

A sigh broke off, "Maybe you're right." Speedy hugged himself like a lost kitten. "But... I need to try, no? If I don't try it out again, I wouldn't know. Love is all about trial and error and if it fails, I'll back off immediately."

Placing the empty cup in the sink, Falcon looked up and kissed on the tiger's cheek lightly. "You go do what's right. If you think that that's the right way, go ahead. However, if I see Leo depressed or sad due to your actions, I will personally kick your sorry butt so hard that you'll feel it every time you hump someone."

The spotted feline hissed and moved aside, heading to the door. Clicking it open, he took one final glance and stared menacingly at him. "Beware..."


Speedy paced to the door, taking a peek to the half lighted room. Ever since Leo started sleeping over one or a few times, he had to place a night light in the room. Apparently, the lion was a wee bit scared of the dark and knowing that there is a source of light just about the corner lifted his heart a little. Sometimes, he would mumble weird stuff about being afraid of the darkness but other times, soft mumbling of food. He's quite fond of food but to keep himself in shape, he had to sacrifice a few luxuries of it.

Creaking the door aside, Speedy managed to enter without making much of a noise that could wake him up. Stripping those articles off, he gently slipped to the bed, purring at the comfort of the mattress. It felt like the worries of his problems and aches from his body was lifted away in a jiffy and he liked it. He made a soft purr from the side, which was accompanied by a moan.

Eye bulged open and a paw clamped over to mouth. Did I just moan out loud?

"Speedy?" Leo got up, rubbing his eyes.

"Sweety, it's nothing. Go sleep."

"I heard..."

That caught his attention immediately. "You heard?"

"Yes, I heard. It wasn't that easy to miss out you know," Leo yawned for a bit before scratching his mane," Speedy... I'm sorry."

This time, it was the lion's turn to feel some sort of guilt in his gut. True... maybe being overly aggressive with Leo was a bad move. Who on earth would go about, asking if they would want to go about, fucking on the bed? A one night stand... Isn't that what he was constantly doing before this? Always a one night stand with some guy at the bar. Better yet, with someone from his prior class!

"Leo... look, I'm sorry but..."

Wait... trial and error? Alright, one last move, this will be my last. If he's not interested in mating, I will back off for good till he wants it.

"Leo..." he murred softly, arms clasped around that chest again, "Look, I'm sorry but... Believe me when I say this, you are just perfect for me." Paws caressed around those sculpted abs, "You're really the one that I want, Leo... Please, you're good enough for me." Those gentle paws began to roam even further but the tiger kept the pace slowly.

Leo was moaning a little at those touches. Once again, he was in the dilemma. Maybe... just maybe.... Maybe he's good enough? Why not give himself a chance to prove that he's worthy of a mate to someone? Speedy is a good male. He was good enough to help him with his problems and they gave and took at the right time. Perhaps he's good... god... why does he have this stupid problem about himself.

Amazingly, those striped paws kept its distance, away from the lion's heat but it proved to be a little hard to resist. Speedy moved in closer, closing the gap between each other and sniffed once more on that very neck. Eyes practically dilated over at the musk of another feline. Leo was more than happy to promote a soft purr to show a sign of how wonderful it was. Evidently, the tiger stepped to another whole new level.

Fingers wrapped around both nipples and gave them a slight tug. Leo gave a soft eep but regained his composure. "M-Maybe... I should. Maybe it's all good. Maybe..."

"Maybe you should just stop asking those 'if' questions and start going with the flow, hrm?"

Another tug and squeeze, "Ungh... y-yeah... no more 'ifs'," one moan, "No more buts..." Another moan, "No more putting myself down," a third moan but this time, accompanied with a gasp, "No more putting down my own self interest..." Now, chest heaved up and down, gasping for air, "No more asking questions!" Finally, a loud growl and claws dug deeply into the bed. "Speedy! Just... do what's right! Just mate me!"

I... I broke through!

The tiger hugged even harder than before, nearly squeezing his rib cage. "God... Leo... Are you sure?"

"Yes, please. Make me feel like a kitten again."

I've finally made it! I-I will be gentle.

He was back at the simple nipple play that he had ministered earlier on. Apparently, it was highly arousing for both felines. Leo was squirming left and right, giving out loud gasps and moans. Looking forward from his shoulder, Speedy managed to catch some slight jumps in between those legs. Both felines usually slept naked because they love to and thank goodness for that. At least now, they don't need to concern themselves with any clothing.

One paw left those hard nubs and pulled the blanket away, revealing a piece of lion meat. High quality, rich with seed, hard as a rock, full with creamy delight and amazing male musk. This isn't something that one could buy from the store and he knew it. Leo was more than happy to give himself to the tiger behind him.

"You're beautiful, you know that?"

Leo blushed a little, "S-So are you."

The more Speedy teased him, the more his body convulse with lust. Leo was on nirvana by now but he tried to keep his composure as steady as possible. Cock throbbed in mid air, feeling the gently caress of some faint wind; feeling those hard paws around him too. The tiger took another bolder step and this time, without hesitation. That stripped paw loomed over to the lion cock, thick fingers rolling around the head.

Leo gasped out with pleasure and whined with lust. Instead of giving out growls or roars or whatever, he whined? This must be something that pushed him over the edge entirely. Was he even lying when he claimed that he was a virgin?

Grasping over that thick lion meat, Speedy gave a few strokes to it, feeling the girth and damn did it feel good. It feels so fucking good to him, to finally have the chance once more to handle another cock other than his own. It has been a long time that he had taken another male and it was all worth it. It was all worth the wait because this lion was more than what he had expected. Thick in girth and long in length; the perfect cock for a handsome hunk like him. It's still a wonder to him on why he was so shy about his own sculpted body and gifted bits between those legs.

Every fucking girl would surround him like bees around some delectable honey but he just wanted to keep it all under those briefs. It's a wonder to all males.

Those paws were more than eager to please the hulking lion. His breathing got heavier by the second and shaft drizzled with pre, rolling slowly from the tip to the pubic fur. It matched with his orange fur and god was it beautiful, and sexy! Speedy had a good grip on to Leo's heat and began masturbating it, thumb occasionally rubbed across the head to gain some purrs of ecstasy from his counterpart. There was a simple rhythm to that simple pump. Up and down, up and down, up and down; pretty much it but it sent Leo over to the edge within minutes.

"S-Speedy... i-if you keep on going, I'm going go cum all over myself... please..." He begged for it. He was actually begging for release! How hot was that!

The tiger grinned and kissed on his cheek, licking all over, "Why don't you cum all over that sexy body of yours so I could see what I'm dealing with here, hrm? I bet your balls are aching to be release, no? Your cock just begging for it, just begging to be played with. You're like a little play toy. A little kitten.... Play toy..."

His tongue dragged below and trailed over to neck level, lapping and tasting the horny lion. That was just what Leo wanted... to be used and played with. His fantasy of mating was about to come true and it was with someone that he actually had feelings for! It was right... so very right... so very close!

"Y-Yes! Make this big lion into your little kitten," Leo whined in desperation. His eyes darted low and watched that paw do wonders to his body. Each moan and gasps were music to both feline and they wanted more than just moans and gasps, they wanted seed... male... musk... "Make this kitten spray all over himself! God! Speedy! I'm gonna cum!!"

Paw began to stroke rapidly, pulling that foreskin all the way down. Speedy pulled it down and held that cock at the base of it, not stroking upwards at all now. Leo looked and whined to the tiger.

Why did he stop!!

Speedy grinned mischievously at him, "I want that cock to burst by itself. A little help perhaps but not stroking. Let's see how much teasing you can take..."

Those words struck like lightning to the lion's mind and before he knew it, he was flipped over to the side and laid on his back, panting at the other feline. Both tiger and lion were on the verge of no return. If they wanted to do this, they might as well do it right. No, better yet, to do it good.

"What are you do... ahh!"

The lion's protest hung in mid air as a claw traced along his very girth. Apparently, Speedy wasn't kidding when he said teasing. This is one heck of a teasing! One claw was gently scrapping along the length of that erected cock, pre soaked all over the head now and it kept bursting little droplets of pre. It went up and down, all over. It looked as if the claw was analyzing how big and large that maleness is but Speedy knew that that wasn't what it was.

It wasn't a light sensation but a whole lot of pleasure and teeth gritting. Those little actions were giving him a big tease and an aching hard on and Leo practically screamed his lungs out. His voice reverberated through the room and the neighbours could probably hear them already. It pulsed even more, throbbed, shaking, quaked... all with just one claw around it.

However, Speedy had something else in mind. That very finger dragged in an agonizingly slow manner and finally reached up to the tip of the cock, prying open that thin hole of a slit. He gazed upwards and locked eyes with the tiger, which was now licking his lips through several pants. Eventually, that very finger wiggled slightly and punctured in, fingering gently against the cock slit. Leo clenched his eyes tight, feeling the intense pleasure that his cock was receiving and all too soon, he was moaning like a bitch in heat.

The tiger had one paw wrapped around the head while the middle finger was slowly finger fucking the slit. Pre cum oozed like hot boiling lava, trying to escape whenever the finger pulled off. Gripping tightly around the shaft, Speedy gave a hard squeeze, milking more pre cum and that made his counterpart moan in sheer bliss. Eyes fluttered like butterfly wings, mouth opened with bated breath and his drool was oozing away at the side, making a long line of spit from lips to chest.

Who would have known that playing around like that could bring more pleasure than simple strokes? All thoughts of just having a paw grasped around that maleness were lost in the lion. If this is how sex would be like with the horny tiger, he was more than ready to accept that fuck.

"God..! Ungh... don't stop... please... a few more..." a pant, "Just a little more. Please, Speedy. My sweet sweet tiger! Don't stop! J-Just.... D-don't..."

Leo dug his claws into the bed sheet, hard. Body quaked like little tremors running down his muscles, fur standing on end and cock soaked with pre. Eyes and teeth clenched as hard as they could. Arching his body for a moment, the massive lion gave voice to his exploding orgasm. It was the beginning of the end for him. Speedy could see the signs of orgasm. Heck! Any idiot could see the signs of that impending orgasm.

"Fuck!!"

Volleys of cum began to spurt forth from the slit and aimed sky high to the ceiling as the tiger removed his finger in time. Gravity played its role and splattered all over the lion's muscled chest and abs, coating that orange fur with pearly white goodness. Those balls, however, knew the intensity of those tortures and needlessly to say, they never held back at all. Speedy had thought that the first few fires of cum were copious but boy, was he ever wrong! That massive cock has yet to finish firing after the fifth shot and continued to dribble away. The spurts were lowered but still good. In the end, the lion's belly was nearly covered with male goodness and Speedy just licked his lips from that very view.

Leo shuddered and gasped for air when Speedy milked his cock, trying to squeeze any remaining cum that might have left behind. However, it was over with and done. There wasn't any complains though. The only voice in the room was the lion's pants and groans, mixed with slight murrs and moans as well. Finally, it was done. Speedy had given the best pawjob that Leo had ever had in his entire life and he liked it.

The tiger purred and smiled to the orange lion, earning a weak smile. There weren't much to say to each other, more so with the afterglow. In the end, Speedy settled for cleaning him up. He loves cuddles. Oh damn, he loves cuddling. Every time Speedy had sex, he would cuddle with them but that totally depends on the fur that he fucked. If it's some asshole or jerk, he wouldn't even cuddle at all. Since it was Leo, he didn't hesitate to clean those cum off. Sand papery tongue dragged and flicked all around those beautifully carved abs as it scrapped on fur, feeling each mound of muscles that the lion had etched throughout his workout journey. All those hard work really paid off for him.

Such a sexy, beautiful, smart, intelligent and full of manly goodness lion. How can he keep all those to himself! That's just cruel! Cruel to all who adores the heck out of him! God... feel those muscles.... Feel that flesh.... Every valley of muscle that travelled around him was just fantastic.

Speedy was totally lost in his own lustful world. He didn't care what he did. All he knew, at the top of his mind, was to just give as much pleasure as he could offer to Leo and hopefully, it would be enough prove to him that he's worth his time and effort.

Striped paws were roaming all over; rubbing the side, feeling them, caressing chest, occasionally playing with nipples but most importantly, licking away all those creamy seed that was spilled. It was too good to not lick away. The taste was sweet, a little salty and tangy but hey, who can complain about it. It takes one to know one and cum eating isn't for everyone.

Meanwhile, Leo began to pant like he just gave himself to a triathlon race. Sweats began to roll down his cheeks but it wasn't due to his surroundings (it's quite hot in the room, if you know what I mean), rather, it was due to the actions that the feline below was doing. All those rubs, caress, feel.... They were so good that his virility was invigorated tenfold. Without him noticing it, that piece of lion meat slowly throbbed to life once again. Leo whined with ears laid flat on his skull, tongue hung loose from the corner of his lips.

"Speedy.... Too... much..." he gasped aloud, "You're really making me turn into a little kitten!"

Speedy had to pause for a moment, climbed upwards to face directly into the lion's lustful expression. "You think that that's all? Think again, my dear little kitty."

As those words left Speedy's lips, he had hoisted the lion's legs upwards, stretching and getting him into a more comfortable position. Leo gasped and squirmed as he was bent in half. He looked at the stripped feline and there it was again, those eyes sparkling with deep lust and passion for love making... no.... a more appropriate term would be mating.

Speedy sure loves to mate! Leo spoke to himself as he felt his own heat pressing up against abs, rubbing a little. The remaining cum that has yet to be cleaned matted against his fur. Cock soon grinded itself on own body and rubbed lewdly, mixing pre and cum.

Claws were now dug into a new position from the bed. If there were any more teasing, this bed would surely be ruined before the night ended and believe you me, getting a new bed isn't cheap at all. Leo prepared himself for the worst but all he got was a kiss from above. Speedy had moved upwards and planted a gently smooch on the lion.

Mmmph!!

Lion and tiger purred at the same time as both eyes were closed shut, enjoying each other's embrace. As Speedy deepened up the kiss, his paws were roaming about that beautifully firmed ass of the lion. It was firm and tight and best of all, sexy. The gentle grip and groping was a huge turn on for Leo as his eyes fluttered back again; this time, he was able to control it. However, there was one thing that made Leo worried at that moment. Those stripped paws weren't the only thing that's fondling, not to mention molesting, but his cock was dangerously rubbing along the crack as well.

The length of that maleness was as hard as could be and Leo could practically felt the heat that's radiating from it. Up and down, gliding with the help of some pre. Eventually, Speedy was tired of the tease and decided to take it up to his own paws.

"Leo, you're going to get pounded whether you like it or not." He claimed with slight growl.

Leo smiled back as he bore his pearly white fangs, "Then rut the fuck out of me!"

The tiger growled with lust and nuzzled at his neck, "Oh my... such foul words. You should be punished for being disrespectful."

Instead of replying back to him, Leo slapped at the tiger's butt, earning a moan from above. That was more than just an indication to enter but encouraged the stripped feline to just move in without mercy. Speedy pinned both lion paws on the bed now, trying to be as dominant as possible. He just loves to play the top role in any relationship. God knows why but it increases his virility into a whole new level. Penetrating someone's tail hole was what he was born to do. Having someone else to gratefully accept it is kinda rare for him. There weren't many furs out there that liked getting punctured in.

Speedy rubbed his cock along the crack of that lion ass again, smearing more pre on to the beautifully pink rosebud. After much teasing, both felines were at the edge of their sanities already. How long more could both handle this much teasing! None!!

"Fuck me already!" Leo cried out loud.

"Beg for it!" He replied ferociously.

"Fuck me! I want that hung cock inside of me, now!

"More!!" Speedy was at the top of his game, trying to gain as much dominance as possible, "What do you want me to do, tell me!"

"I want you to," he gasped, "You to fuck me with your big cock! Give me that piece of meat! Make me a man!"

Those cries gave an extra push and Speedy had enough of teasing. With one paw, he guided that cock to the very hole of the lion and it has started. The head entered in slowly, mostly helped by the slickness of his precum. He was so tight! Damn!! Fuck! Such a tight lion!

More.... More.... It entered... more... and more... each inch that slides made Leo trembled under his orange fur. Head threw back on the bed, he moaned deeply with a ground graveled voice, submitting himself to the passionate lust that he was sharing with the horny tiger. All thoughts were lost and the only thing that he could think of was trying to get more of that meat into him. He wanted to have it all in, to feel the thickness and experience the sheer enjoyment of being filled full with cock.

Yeah, this is what a real man is. A real man could take anything that's thrown to them. A real man takes a cock up his ass! This makes a real male!

"Fuck!" Speedy gripped on to the lion's shoulders now, trying to control his claws from unsheathing, "Take it all. Take it all like a good bitch!"

"Ungh... more... god...." Leo felt the force that was placed on his shoulders and he was beginning to like it. Slowly, his mind was beginning to form the conclusion that he could sense from his actions.

I'm a bottom... God it feels so good... to have a cock penetrating my tail hole and feeling it cum in me.

Speedy gave one final thrust and he hilted himself. A small roar was ensured, signaling his triumphant effort to finally claim what was rightfully his all along, since from the beginning of the day when they met. Slowly, the lustfully feline dropped his upper torso lower and held face to face with Leo. Their gaze met and this time it wasn't just any normal expression. It was more like giving themselves to each other. Despite this being just a normal sex between two males. Neither of them felt like it was. It was instead fueled with lust, passion and love for one another. Not those experience where it was only a one night stand and both moved on with their lives.

No, this was far different. It was love...

"Speedy..." Leo whispered softly between gasps.

"Leo..." He replied with a cliché manner. What more could one say to one another at this point on?!

"I'm going to go slow... okay... sweety?"

"Please be gentle.... You're not exactly small..."

Speedy chuckled slightly before taking a few inch off from that hole. Without a second to lose, he was back in, grinding hips against butt cheeks. Once more, he repeated in a constant manner. Just pulling out and pumping in slowly. In and out, pump and thrust, hump and moan. Very traditional but hey, it's a start for a blooming relationship. Furthermore, both felt the pleasure. What's more to complain?

Tiger and lion paws roamed about, feeling each other out. Instead of just mindless fuck fests that most usually do with their partners, they didn't want that to happen. Instead, they wanted to reciprocate; to actually know and feel that their actions are giving pleasure instead of pain to each other. Leo tried to place some pressure on that cock by clenching on his ass muscles. He tried hard to put in some resistance because he wouldn't want to give in so easily and letting the tiger above him know that he's such a submissive little lion.

Speedy's thrust were getting faster and harder, ball sac slapping against butt cheeks as skin against skin connected. Both grunted with feral lust, snarling and hissing to each other, instinct taking over their senses. The tiger gave one hard push and buried himself into his counterpart; paws roamed over and gripped them hard. Moving in closer and closer, their muzzles touched once again, making out with each other as they exchanged saliva out of their passionate lust. Moans after moans, followed by slight grunts, all made quietly in their locked muzzle.

Speedy gripped Leo's paws tightly, grinding his muscled chest against another. It was getting far harder for him to breathe now. As he inhaled to accommodate his lust filled being, his nostrils was speared with a strong and powerful hint of male musk. It was heaven.... Oh so heavenly... He exhaled the next second as his body shuddered from the very hit of that precious stench. He had always liked the smell of sex while fucking because it gave life to him. Heck, better than that! It satiates his needy soul and wants!

"Mmmm....Grrr....Hmmm.... So good..." The tiger muttered out in ecstasy.

Hips stayed intact to that tail hole, not wanting to pull off. With a small hump, Speedy managed to pump in a little more and touched something that made Leo roar out with pleasure. The lion arched his body upwards, lifting Speedy along the way and he gripped his paws as hard as possible. It was more than just pleasure now, it was most definitely love!

"Fuck.... What was that...?" Leo said through clenched teeth.

"That, my friend, is what I call love..."

With those words, Speedy didn't hesitate to fuck that lion's tail hole till he no longer felt like he ever had an ass before. Nostrils flared wildly, his humps had gotten more sporadic by this moment and all he could think of was to breed into this hunky feline. Letting go of his paws, the tiger placed them over to chest level, slapping at them from time to time. It was so hard... so... so beautifully hard, like rocks!

Jesus! What does he train with? A mountain as his weights?! They're harder than mine. Fuck! Harder than the pavement!

Those slaps were turning Leo on up to no end. He could feel those paws against his own hard chest and he loved it. No one had ever made he feel like this before. It was like, every single movement that the tiger made; it spurred his senses up to another level. However, the slapping stopped abruptly but turned to a more pleasurable feeling.

"Ah!!"

He was now screaming and begging for more! Speedy held both of his nipples captive and he gave no mercy to them. Those rounded nipples were as hard as rocks and far too sensitive for his own good. Just a simple flick of finger could blow him away. Those fleshy fingers slowly rubbed and feel around while pinching them like they were little grapes. Leo arched his hips once again as pleasure surged through his mind and body, unable to keep himself down.

However, Speedy disappointed the lion tremendously as he slowly extracted himself from that tail hole. A soft slurp was ensured as that cock was taken off. Leo sighed and turned to the side, looking at the tiger with a tinge of anger. Instead of giving a reasonable answer for pulling out without excuse, Speedy laid on his back. Legs and arms were spread wide over the bed and he licked his lips.

"Wanna ride the tiger?"

Holy... shit... Leo screamed in his mind.

Getting on all fours, he slowly padded over. He was most definitely greeted with some awesome cock. From his point of view, this will be his first time admiring the beauty that the lion held in his whole frame. His face, handsome and sexy as he could ever be. Meanwhile, his biceps bulged and flexed as he curled them over, strong paws balled up into a fist to show more of them. Abs and chest puffed out with pride; they practically danced in some miniature ring! To give some extra boost to his sexiness, those stripes were amazing. Every single line that those black stripes covered on, it portrayed how manly and fluffy he was. That white underbelly was hypnotizing as Speedy swayed a little from left to right, hips moving up and down.

Leo couldn't take his eyes off from this handsome piece of feline but he did try. Alas, peeling away his gaze was like trying to break the Great Wall of China. It was near impossible and he was practically drooling from the corner of his mouth. To add some spice into that delicious broth, those thighs were a sight for sore eyes. Look at those handsomely carved thighs! A wee bit bigger than his own but to say that it's completely flawless was a mistake because it wasn't. There were a few scratches here and there and scars from somewhere but all those were a big turn on.

Mmm... I like guys that have some scars on them. It proves that they don't just talk big and brag about their size. Rather, they proved with point with their brawn.

"You... are... a true male specimen that every female around campus should adore."

Speedy chuckled and wiggled his body, "Nah, no females are allowed to touch these muscles. Strictly males and you, my dear lion, is another example of a perfectly formed male."

Climbing over, Leo squatted over to his belly, "How so?" He grinded butt cheeks against abs.

"Cause you've got the brawn and brains for it."

"Oh?" The lion continued to mash that abs away, "But I'm not confident in my own abilities..."

"A minor flaw which I could help and remove it in no time. Believe me, you've got the goods."

"Mm.... Like this kind of goods?"

As those words were said, the orange lion penetrated himself. Guiding that beautifully shaped cock, he managed to get the head back in and went down halfway through the length. Once again, the feel of being filled with a cock made him shudder and moan out of desperation. Pulling up a few inches, he went down to gain a few more inches. Another hike and it was finally in. Leo moaned and petted his belly, to indicate how full he felt. Imagine... just being filled with those sweet and creamy seed that yearns to be release any time soon. The thought of it sent him over the edge and he was more than eager to ride it.

He managed to get comfortable on those muscular hips and started to pump himself on that cock. Body quivered with each hump but the lion was enjoying it nevertheless. Eventually, little humps turned into fervent pumps, fucking himself as if like that cock was the source of his life. Leo's fervor attitude was pushing Speedy to the edge but he tried to stay as long as possible. It would definitely ruin the whole mood if he cummed too early but how the fuck could he stop himself from cumming! The tiger was taken over by his own lust and there wasn't anything that he could do to stop it. Each hump from that tail hole on his cock sent shivers down his spine and the more Leo did that, the harder it was to hold in that impending orgasm.

Not long after, the starved lion placed both paws on the tiger's grenade chest, fingers gripping and rubbing at those strip fur. He held his head low and tongue draped across his muzzle, panting like a bitch in heat. His grip on that strong chest gave enough stability for him to fuck harder. The humps and pumps were on his own accord and Speedy did nothing to spur him on. Actually, the stripped feline didn't even need to do anything at all. All he needed was to hold on to the lion's hips to keep him stable and intact.

Both grunted and moaned simultaneously, obviously in their own little world but their own little world was about to come to an end very soon.

Shit!! How long more can I take it! His hole is fucking tight and every single thrust made it even tighter! Speedy cried silently to himself.

Of all the furs that he had fucked in his life, Leo seemed to be the best out of all those jocks, hunks and creeps; heck, even better than any prostitute out there! Not that he know off or fucked but one would think that you pay for what's worth it. The lion's hole was tighter, muscular body that was nearly sculpted by the gods themselves, big feline cock, constantly oozing with pre, a good fuck, lustful in his own terms and best of all, a passionate lover.

This lion constantly kept his own lust to himself due to his own personal downfall but once the barrier was broken down, all hell broke loose. Speedy had known Leo for a few months now and this was one side of him that didn't disappoint at all. If he kept this up, they would have sex all night long; every fucking day and night!

"Leo!" Speedy hissed and roared softly, "Gods you're tight and a good fuck! Fuck yourself harder! Ride it like you've never ridden before!"

"Ah..! Ahh...!!" Leo's eyes dilated but he kept a constant pump, not stopping for even one second. "Fuck... d-damn! Your cock is fucking huge! Breed in me! Spill your precious man seed and breed me like a bitch!"

Such a dirty lion!

Speedy growled hungrily and something caught his eyes as quickly as it came. Right in front of him, right now, is a jumping and dangling piece of man meat. Apparently, Leo's cock was left unattended and each time his hips jumped and pumped that shaft followed suit. It jumped and slapped against his abs like a big fuck stick, pre drooling like a leaky hose. That meat wasn't left alone for long though. The stripped feline took the liberty of grasping around it and slowly pumped it.

A roar from above shook him but he wasn't deterred by it. The look on Leo's facial expression was more than enough to encourage him even more. His paws grasped along the length and began to slowly pump away, matching with his strokes. It was as hard as a rock!

Fuck... That's one hard cock... Gods... why didn't he came sooner to my life. I would have fucked him all day long and been mated to him too. Hey! It's still not too late!

Leo closed his eyes as hard as possible due to his intense self-fuck but opened them with slight flutters from eye lids. The first image that came into view was another feline. Not just any feline, it was Speedy. He wasn't exactly thinking straight at this moment but he wanted more pleasure. Abusing his own tail hole and having a paw pump his cock was more than enough to bring him to orgasm. Eventually, they weren't synchronized any longer. It was just some mindless fuck at that moment because at any given time, both would have spilled their seed if given the chance.

And what a chance it was...

"Oh fuck! Oh fuck! Speedy... Speedy!" Leo begged for it. No, he pleaded and begged for it! "Please let me cum... faster... make me cum.... Make a fucking mess!"

Holy shit...!

It seemed like time had finally gone through a stand still for both felines because their pleasures were coming to an end and what...a... climax...

Leo began shooting forth cum like there was no tomorrow. Despite this being his second orgasm, it was just as long and the amount was copious enough to paint a picture! Jets of it were shot to the air, most of them landing on the tiger's abs, chest and face; some even landed on his hair and to the wall behind the bed as well. It was that much pressure! As his orgasm hit home, so did his tail hole.

The orange lion had to clamp his tail hole as tight as possible, acting like a knot. The much needed pressure was there and everything fell into place at the same time. Shots after shots of tiger seed painted inside Leo and judging from those moans of ecstasy, it was good; very very good...

As the damn broke its walls, rivers of seed filled in that tail hole and it didn't stop there. It was too much to handle and a few drops of cum began to spill away from the seep. Semen trickled down from tail hole to thigh and went all the way down to leg level. Leo and Speedy could feel each other's heat by now and they shuddered from the intense pleasure that overtook them. Afterglow slowly kicked into gear and Leo couldn't hold himself upwards any longer. Speedy managed to hold on to him and he fell, landing atop the tiger.

Both were exhausted. No, that was an understatement; more like dead. Leo had one heck of a fuck and he loved every single second of it. He whined softly and slowly licked at the tiger's nose, earning a soft purr. Nothing could ruin the mood now. It doesn't matter who comes in or sees them because they were in their own world now. Speedy wrapped his beefy arms around the lion's waist and held him closely. His cock wasn't going to go down any time soon and it seems that they do not have any other choice than to just leave as they are.

"Mmm..." Leo purred aloud, voice rumbling against chest.

"You liked it?"

Closing his eyes slowly, the orange lion drifted off into a deep slumber before he muttered his last few words, "I loved it. Be my mate... Speedy..."

Speedy was a little dumfounded by the word 'mate' because it's been a while since he was in a relationship. Looking down at the lion, he smiled and kissed on his forehead, stroking that orange fur gently and scratching a few times. Imagine, getting into a relationship all over again and it's with someone that's far from what he expected. The tiger had had a few relationships before but this one kinda seemed a little... different, like... like it was permanent or some sort. He could feel it in his guts.

"Leo, I would be more than happy to be your mate, if you allowed it." Kissing on his forehead again, he journeyed to a deep sleep, under the warmth and love of a lion.


The weekend quickly went as it came. There just aren't enough hours in one day for the weekend. Time sure do flies when you're having fun. Some might be sadden by the end of the weekend but there are some that eagerly awaits the coming Monday to study. Those, usually, are the nerds of the class but one mustn't judge on that concept too quickly. Leo was eager for the weekend to finish and when Monday came, he had to drag Speedy along with him.

As they entered into the class, they took their respective seats. Leo quickly spreads open his inventories, getting ready for the class. Meanwhile, Speedy was still groggy from his morning wake up call.

"Sweetheart, why did you wake me up... ssooo... early..."

"Because we have a class!" Leo hissed back.

"I'm so tired... I want my bed..."

Speedy cuddled next to him, earning a blush from the lion. He was anxious, very anxious actually because some students were beginning to murmur and whisper among themselves. The sign of his affection seemed to bother some students.

"Dear... not in public..."

His ears perked up when he caught someone whispering just behind him.

"Speedy and Leo are together!" One said.

"Eeek! I told you that they were together! It's just a matter of time!" The other replied enthusiastically.

"Hah! I won the bet! Now pay off!" A third cackled.

Oh... great... apparently, the whole class knew about our relationship. Does news travel fast in this campus? Or is it just me?

Leo was about to panic when Speedy came in closer and closer, head leaned over his shoulder and he had to catch him before he fall head first on to the table. Grunting slightly, he was more than embarrassed about it. It felt so... so... weird and... and... just plain weird! The more he tried to pry the tiger away, the harder he clung, not showing any sign of going away.

"You're so soft..." He murred under his breath.

"Speedy... We... need... to... stop..."

"Okay class!" Mr. James rammed into the classroom, totally ignoring the fuss that he made a few seconds ago. "Please open to chapter 10 of your Management Accounting and read the issue of Standard Costing in the modern society. You will see that there are plenty of fusses about it and not applied nowadays. Also, don't forget to look over at ABC Costing! It's gonna be out for your finals!"

Most of the students scrambled back to their seats and quickly jotted down those important facts. Eventually, the sound of chattering died down and silence was ensured within the vicinity. However, Leo had his own problems now...

Speedy!! Please let go! Mr. James is.... Oh no...

His eyes were fixated to the professor as he walked down the lane leading towards both of the feline. Leo gulped and began to break into buckets of sweat. Busted...

Mr. James stopped at their table and eyed incredulously, hoof tapping against the ground. He was obviously annoyed that the tiger wasn't jotting down those important facts. Tapping against his shoulder, Speedy ignored it. The professor's nose flared and smoke could be seen coming out from his nostrils. He tapped twice but he was ignored. Looking back at Leo, the orange lion was more afraid that he could be.

Lowering his head to ear level, the ram whispered menacingly.

"Dear Mr. Speedy. There won't be any public affection in my class until the class ends. If you're going to continue doing this, there will be consequences and believe you me, you won't like em'."

Mr. James was done and he walked off. Within a few seconds, Speedy opened his eyes and shuddered. "Did Mr. James whispered in my ears and threatened me?"

"Yep..." Leo shook his arm free from him, "You got pawned."


The class has finally ended but the news about both feline still loomed the air. It isn't everyday that one would show public affection towards each other in the class and better yet, it's between two males rather than the usual guy and girl. The students were open minded about this stuff but showing such display is kinda not how the world works though, not in Richdales.

As the class slowly dissipates, Leo had finally packed his stuff in his bags. It was quite a hassle for him to take out those books but putting them back is even harder. He really needs to get a bigger bag cause this one looks like it's about to burst any second. Lugging the package over his shoulders, he was stopped short as he felt someone pulling him downwards. The lion gawked, nearly losing his balance but Speedy caught him.

"Hey there, sexy..." the stripped feline strapped his muscular arms around him, "Why don't you lend me that notebook so I could study later on."

Instead of stammering or trying to free himself away, he was more than happy to give a loud purr. "I have a better idea. Why don't you, come over to my house? I made a fresh batch of cookies yesterday night, just in case something like this occurred."

"Mm... I like how you think..." He purred with delight and pulled him down to a soft and gentle kiss.

Leo eager to oblige to the much needed affection; body slowly melted from that kiss and those calloused paws worked its way around. Such soft fur... such manly musk... all so good. The smell itself was intoxicating but the lion couldn't fathom how he could take it all in. If he was going to drown, this is the scent that he would want to be dying in. Tilting head to the side, his kiss deepened even more as tongues wrestled out for dominance. One didn't want to lose the battle while the other dared himself to win the battle. Eventually, their intense fight turned into a battle of groping.

The tiger's paw roamed and clawed slightly over, nearly scratching and tearing away Leo's shirt. Meanwhile, Leo was about to rip Speedy apart. Their lust kept flooding their minds and nothing could stop them now.

Growling in an animalistic instinct, Leo managed to push the tiger to the nearest wall. However, their passionate kiss didn't break for even one second. Small little moans were whispered out between breaks, chest grinded against each other, inhaling each male's scent like their life depended on it. Both tiger and lion intertwined their tails, coiling and curled into a neat knot. Paws found each other and gripped as hard as possible.


"Dude... you owe me double." A greedy fox smirked back to his friend.

It seemed that the students from the class decided to take a peek from the ajar door and they were just in time for the main event. Some were covering their eyes while others licking their lips. As the tiger and lion kissed with each other, they were happy for their relationship. Heck, some even bet on how things would go between them.

"You know what? They are going to be mates for life!" Another quipped.

"Oh! I bet that they will fuck each other silly tonight!"

"I bet tomorrow, they won't even show up."

They laughed and giggled with each other.

"What are you all doing here!?"

The bunch of students stood to attention; some yelped and scrambled to run away. Many stayed but were shivering under their very fur. Their eyes fixated to the ram that had earlier taught them.

"Nothing! S-Sir!"

"There isn't 'nothing' when you guys are grouping up like some damn perverts. Now tell me what's in there," Mr. James pushed a few of the students away and they did as they were told, "This class should be empty by now and... oh..."

He blushed. Yep, their professor blushed!

"You shouldn't even be here!" He hissed, "Get away and leave them to privacy! It's rude to watch other fur kissing and it's... oh damn... Leo, you're doing it wrong. Never tug the tail when you're that close."

"Professor!"


Woo!! Done! R&R please! Cookies!! Again, thanks to Gryphonwing for beta reading this. I owe you loads!
