Howard has brought Larry in to his home and taken care of him. Now they both find that they need to take care of something more... intimate.


The steam in the air had begun to cool, but the warm smell of fresh soup hung in the air. The starch of potato and the fat of fresh fish had been cooked with gentle care. It was made with love, and was thus quickly eaten and savored. Howard could not believe he could have made something with so much flavor.

He did this all for Larry, whose happiness he cared the most about. The night had gone so well since he had accomplished everything he had set out to do. Larry was fed and warm, happy and clean, but it felt like something else was missing.

Larry sat across from him, lapping up the last bits of broth. This was an opportunity to do something daring, but what?

Rain splattered across the window pane with it's rhythmic tapping, the wind as it's singer. The radiator joined in with its rattling clings and jings. The cars still vroomed and honked outside. This sound was driving Howard to madness and forced him to speak to drown them out.

"Larry, I have something to tell you."

Larry's eyes perked up as he set his bowl down.

"How soft and happy his eyes are now,'' Howard thought.

Howard stood up and then kneeled next to Larry, grabbing his hands. Larry's hands were smaller and thinner than his, but they had a strength to them only a laborer had. Howard grasped them tenderly, his thumb massaging Larry's palm.

"Howie?" Larry whispered.

"I've always...cherished you, Larry."

Howard gazed into his eyes, leaning in closer to him.

Larry grasped Howard's hands tightly. Larry's hands were calloused and cold. Howard's was soft and warm. Together they have reached blessed equilibrium. Their claws lightly poked into each other's fur as their fingers trembled.

"How my fear disappears when I'm around you," said Howard.

He placed his hand on Larry's face. He could feel the heat radiate from Larry's cheek as they blushed.

"I've always loved you," Howard said, pressing his muzzle against Larry's.

"Oh Shephard," Larry squeaked.

Larry was the first to start the kiss, the warmth sending shudders throughout his body. Howard leaned in, tilting Larry's head up to him. His kiss was so sweet. Their fingers were still interlocked, not wanting to let go. Their breaths were rapid but synchronized. Tears of joy streamed from Larry's eye's. They swayed together throughout the kiss like slow dancers.

Larry rose up, breaking up from the kiss.

"Oh Howard."

Larry grabbed Howard by the tie and pulled. Larry now lay across the table and Howard pinned him.

"I've felt that way about you forever."

Blue light filtered through the window as the clouds cleared and the moon appeared. Moonlight reflected off their fur with a shiny glow.

He's so beautiful, Howard thought as Larry looked dreamingly into his eyes.

Larry tugged on his tie once more and grabbed his shoulder to pull him even closer.

Howard suddenly grew nervous and started to sweat.

Oh Shephard, I didn't think I'd get this far, he thought as he lay on top of Larry. His shirt rustled as he brushed against him.

"What, did you think I never felt the same?" whispered Larry. "Maybe if you paid more attention we could have gotten to this sooner." He brought in Howard for another kiss and held him there. "Now fuck me," he said when they broke the kiss. Howard froze for a moment, lost in the power that Larry just held over him, but he quickly fell back into reality. He slowly began to strip, unsure of everything and nothing at the same time while Larry skillfully and swiftly took off his own clothes.

Howard was still struggling with his pants when the slender frame of Larry slid around him in an embrace. "Let me help you with that," he whispered in Howard's ear. Whatever Larry said sounded distant to Howard as he found his entire world embraced by the one raccoon he loved the most. He hesitantly rested his hands on Larry's surprisingly smooth back and felt their frame with tender care. Despite how confident Larry might have been, to Howard he was still his fragile Larry.

He caressed his friend's back, wincing whenever he felt an old scar or a rough patch of fur, but there was something more to Larry than just his appearance. Despite everything that he was feeling right now, a deep empathy punctuated his every thought as he recalled every time that he let Larry down. Every time that he wasn't there for his friend when they needed him most. This wasn't just about finally having Howard to himself for Larry, but also about finally feeling that he was truly loved.

Howard's train of thought came to an abrupt end when Larry slipped from his hands and crouched down in front of him. He looked down at the smirking raccoon, who in turn looked at him with a devious glint in his eye. "Now it's time for me to see what you've hidden down here from me for all these years," he said with some smugness. Howard had not even noticed that the only thing stopping him from being naked were his slightly tented boxers.

With a single swift motion, Larry removed Howard's boxers revealing his leaking cock. A flash of disappointment briefly crossed Larry's face before it dissipated into a much more lustful expression. "I never pegged you for being small, not that I'm complaining," he said, his last few words disappearing as he began to lick Howard's dick.

"Oh, Larry," moaned Howard in response. He lowered his hand and rested it on Larry's head, scratching his friend behind the ear. Larry looked back up at Howard and gave him a smile before beginning to suckle the tip of Howard's dick. Howard stifled a moan, but he couldn't resist when Larry began to take more of his shaft. "W-when did you learn to... Ah!" he tried to say. Larry was expertly bobbing his head to a steady rhythm and running his tongue in every way that would make Howard moan.

Larry held his own cock, slowly stroking it in rhythm with his own head. Slowly Howard stopped merely scratching Larry's head and began grabbing it tightly and forcing his own rhythm onto Larry. He forced Larry's head faster than before, and almost faster than Larry could handle. Larry matched this with how he worked away at his own cock, but as his breath began to run short he reached up and lightly slapped Howard's thigh. Howard noticed this and decided to tease his friend just a little. He slowed down, but also pulled Larry in deep and held him there.

Larry frantically slapped Howard's thigh and Howard relented, releasing his grasp on Larry and sending him stumbling backwards. "Thanks, for a moment I thought you wouldn't notice," Larry sputtered.

"I did," replied Howard coyly. "I just wanted to see how far I could push you~"

"Hah, well, next time let me know."

"I guess I'm letting you know then that we should get the bed before we keep going," chuckled Howard. "Oh, but before we do..." he trailed off as he stooped next to their piles of clothes. "How do you feel about getting tied up?"

Larry immediately blushed, any facade of confidence that he had previously was now gone. Howard dangled a few choice items from his hands, namely his tie and Larry's scarf. "I-I can always try something new," Larry stuttered. A mischievous grin found its way on Howard's face before he put the items down again. "Now help me with the bed real quick," he said, prompting Larry to join him. Carefully they lifted Howard's bed down from the half bunk bed setup, careful not to knock anything down that was resting on the desk below. With one final heave, they let the mattress drop on the floor with a thud.

For the first time Howard now properly faced Larry in all his naked glory. Beams of moonlight graced his tender frame, highlighting light sparkles of sweat. He may not have been perfect, but for Howard he was more than enough. Especially with his exceptionally large dick. Larry looked up from the mattress and noticed Howard staring. "I think it's about time we get serious," he said seductively, turning around as he did so. "How about it, Howie?" He brought his wrists behind his back and held them together, looking over his shoulder at Howard.

Howard snapped out of his admiring stupor and picked up the items again. He grabbed Larry's wrists and fed them through the neck of his tie, tightening it to a snug fit. He then tightly wrapped the tail around the center of the coil on Larry's wrists before tying it off, making the already snug bond nearly inescapable. "I see you didn't forget anything from boy-scouts," Larry mocked. But any further quirky remarks escaped Larry's mind the moment Howard wrapped Larry's scarf over his eyes. His world had become nothing but darkness and lust, and every touch and smell had become heightened. Howard left him for a moment, most likely to admire his work, but Larry soon felt a finger caress his chest.

It slowly trailed down to his stomach and to his crotch. The touch lifted and was then replaced with a strong grip on Larry's hard dick. Howard stroked it, making sure to play with the head using his thumb. Everything was infinitely more intense for Larry, gasping at every sudden touch and finding himself to become aroused knowing that he couldn't stop Howard. "Are you ready?" whispered Howard into Larry's ear, sending a shiver trailing deep within him. Howard tightly held Larry as he gently lowered him onto the mattress.

The stiff mattress gave Larry some comfort as he heard Howard rummaging through his drawers for something. When Howard closed the drawer, there was a moment of silence that felt like eternity to Larry before he felt a sudden weight join him on the mattress. He couldn't see it, but he felt Howard looming over him only mere inches away. He felt Howard gently take hold of his thighs and spread his legs apart. Larry let out a gasp as he felt something cold on his anus before Howard rubbed in the cold substance with his finger, trailing Larry's rim.

Howard stopped only for a moment before putting his finger in. He enjoyed every moment watching Larry squirm and making cute expressions, and he made sure he'd get more when he found Larry's prostate. As he pressed it, Larry let out a soft moan, biting his lip as he did so. Howard ran his other hand on Larry's inner thigh, groping it while massaging Larry's prostate.

Larry could feel every slight movement Howard made inside him, each more intense than the last. He felt goosebumps spread across him, a satisfying tingling pricking at the edges of his mind. "Hope you're prepared for the main course," purred Howard as he took out his finger. Larry meekly nodded, feeling his words to have been taken along with his sight. He felt Howard shift closer on the mattress and could then feel a pressure on his anus. "Just say if I'm taking it too fast, okay?" said Howard quickly. Larry felt the pressure build and change into a different feeling as Howard pressed in, stretching Larry out with his dick. As soon as Howard passed the tip, he stopped and lifted Larry's waist. "Are you ready?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper. Larry just let out a moan of lust in reply.

As Howard slowly began thrusting, Larry bit his lip as he felt a pleasure much more intense than he had ever felt before, his heightened senses exemplifying every lustful moment. He strained for a moment against his bonds trying to reach for his leaking cock and failing, finding the resistance and helplessness of it even more arousing. Howard's thrusting gradually intensified, his hands tightly wrapped around Larry's thighs as he used them for leverage. Every thrust was a wave of pleasure more intense than the last for Larry. "H-Howie," he moaned. His lustful moans were met with domineering grunts from Howard, and he could feel the breath of every single one on his body.

Howard's efforts intensified, pulling out less and hammering into Larry. His hands slid up Larry's slender body and wrapped around his back, lifting the meek raccoon and resting his muzzle in Larry's neck. Larry was overcome by a torrent of pleasure and could feel a tidal wave of it building within him as Howard's cock hammered away at his prostate. Howard's embrace made him realize how truly and utterly he was under the control of Howard, every moment of his pleasure being dictated by him.

Larry then felt a sharp pain in his shoulder as Howard bit him, the feeling quickly melting into pleasure. With one final thrust Howard pushed himself deep inside Larry, his cum filling the raccoon. He bit down harder and with that Larry felt the tidal wave of pleasure unleash. He came long and hard, screaming Howard's name and shifting with every pulse of pleasure, squeezing out a few more drops of cum out of Howard.

With that Howard lowered Larry back on the mattress, the two laying there and just panting while still connected. After a while, Howard pulled out and removed the scarf from Larry's eyes. "How was that?" he asked gently.

"With how hard I came I think it should be obvious enough," panted Larry, still out of breath. Despite feeling drained of his energy, Larry felt fulfilled and let Howard know that with a warm smile.

"Let's get you out of this," mumbled Howard, more so to himself. He quickly untied Larry and kissed them when he flipped him back. Howard froze when he saw the bite mark on Larry. "Oh my god, did I hurt you?"

"Don't worry about it," reassured Larry while rubbing his shoulder. "I've had worse, and at least this felt fun." Howard relaxed when he heard this and brought Larry in for a hug. "I don't want to hurt you. Not anymore." He could feel tears well up in his eyes, quickly rubbing them away and letting go of Larry.

"Forget about all that," said Larry. "All you've done for me recently is more than enough to make up for everything you've done. All I want you to think about is this. The people who we were before tonight don't matter anymore. We are finally together. We can finally start again." They embraced once again, and the pattering rain eventually guided them to sleep, its monotone melody soothing to the two raccoons
