#24 of Do You Love Me? [Remastered]

Still wanting to impress Travis, Duke decides to not only take Travis on a date, but to make it the most perfect night ever had!

Posted using PostyBirb


Travis woke up much later than usual, thankful that he had the day off from work. With a stretch and a small yawn he rolled out of bed and shuffled out of his bedroom. After passing through the hallway he was met with Duke, already dressed and sitting on the couch, watching TV. The weasel's ears flicked, drawing his attention to his awakened roommate.

"Morning, Trav," Duke greeted, raising a paw.

"Yeah, mornin'. How long was I out for?" Travis asked, stretching once again.

A chuckle came from Duke as he cocked his head to the side, "Well...It's after eleven-thirty so I'd say you were out for a while."

Another yawn came from Travis as he shuffled into the kitchen. "I'm so used to my alarm that I feel off without it..." To his surprise there was a bowl of actual fruit on the kitchen counter. Even though he was surprised, his empty stomach gave him a bigger priority. He opened the fridge and gasped, seeing it was fully decked out with eggs, milk, yogurt and all kinds of other things. On the fridge door's compartment rested a pack of beer. Travis reached higher and opened the freezer, being met with boxes of frozen vegetables, dinners and even a carton of ice cream.

What the hell? I don't remember going shopping for any of this stuff. I might be working too hard...

He shut the freezer door and was met with Duke, standing in front of him with a grin on his muzzle. "So? What do you think?"

It took a moment for the weasel's words to register and even then Travis couldn't find the proper words to express his confusion. "Huh?" was all that managed to come out.

"I know you've been working real hard and I appreciate you letting me live here. I thought that if I am gonna stay here then I should pull my weight at least," Duke admitted, placing his paws behind his back.

"Duke...I...This is," Travis took a moment to collect himself and found a smile growing on his muzzle as well. "Thanks."

"Hehe. No problem--" his eyes widened as he felt something soft on his face. It took him a moment to register that Travis had given him a kiss. "I m-mean it was the least I could do, right?" He was left standing there, a stuttering mess, while Travis began to prepare himself breakfast. He offered Duke some, but he declined because he ate earlier. After collecting himself Duke returned to the living room and sat on the couch, his mind reeling.

That was...wow. B-but does that mean that we're together again? For real this time? Duke thought to himself, staring at the TV but not registering whatever was on the screen. What should I do? Should I say something? D-do I kiss him back? Is it too late to do that?

The sound of frying eggs brought him back to the world around him, and a sense of odd calm. The realization came out of nowhere but he just accepted it. He kissed me.

Travis was soon making his eggs and ate them on the couch next to Duke. The weasel decided to take a risk, feeling his pulse throughout his entire body as he hugged Travis close to him. A small grunt of surprise came from the other small mammal but he didn't resist, rather he pressed close against the weasel. Duke held onto Travis gently despite the chaotic celebration he was having internally. He couldn't help but notice how soft Travis's fur was against his own and how nice his scent was as well. But his admiration was cut short by Travis finishing his breakfast faster than he thought he would.

Once the ferret got up and entered the kitchen Duke was shocked by just how quickly he missed the ferret's warm, soft fur nuzzling against his own. He grit his teeth, urging himself to get a grip but he couldn't lie to himself about just how much he missed being close like this with Travis. It was more than he realized and now that he had a feeling similar to how it used to be, he never wanted to go back. In an instant there was a rush of a feeling Duke hadn't felt in a long time. It was a chaotic mix of fear, joy and confidence. Springing from the couch and entering the kitchen, Duke cleared his throat, getting Travis' attention.

"Hey, uh...I know that it's your day off and all...But I want to take you out. T-take you out on a date, I mean! It'll be my treat, all you gotta do is have fun," Duke offered.

There was a drawn out silence between the weasel and the ferret and Duke thought that maybe he was too forward too quickly and messed the whole thing up. But a sound came from Travis, it was a small laugh. He gazed at Duke and gave him a small smile. "I...Y-yeah, that sounds like fun. A lot of fun."

Duke felt so relieved when Travis accepted, he couldn't imagine how awkward it would have been if Travis had declined. But that wasn't the case and he was already thinking of possible places he could take Travis and the things they could do throughout the day.

"I'm kinda excited about it but I gotta ask ya, Duke." Travis chuckled. "Where are you getting all this money? I mean, first the food and now you wanna take me out all expenses paid?"

Duke felt his entire being lock up, his tail swished back and forth against the kitchen tile. "Well, I...you know. I've been taking up those ads that offer cash for small tasks. The other day I agreed to help an old badger weed his garden and he gave me fifty bucks for it..."

"That's great, Duke!" It brought joy to the ferret, knowing that Duke truly was on a good path to a better life. Hearing that the weasel actually sought out jobs for himself and put in the work made him confident that Duke would be able to put his past behind him.

Meanwhile Duke felt terrible for lying to Travis, making him think that he was on a path to becoming an upstanding citizen when in reality he was just up to his old ways, stealing and lying to those he cared about. He took a deep breath and assured himself that everything was going to be okay because he was going to make it up to Travis by taking him out and doing whatever he wanted.

While Travis was getting ready, Duke counted the money he had left, chalking up the bills in a total of six hundred and fifty dollars. He figured that it would be more than enough to give Travis a night he would never forget.

The first place they went to was the park, walking around and enjoying the scenery. Duke enjoyed himself there and enjoyed the look on Travis' face even more. While out there the two took a moment to sit on the edge of the fountain. Travis even reached in his pocket, pulling out a coin and threw it into the fountain. Duke asked what his wish was, but the ferret's lips were sealed.

"It's always nice here," Travis said after taking a deep breath of the fresh air. Duke had to agree, most of the time he used the park as a place to wash up and get from Point A to Point B quicker. But after taking a nice, slow walk around the place he realized that there was a simple calm and beauty in the area. It was a nice break from the noise and constant movement of downtown and the square. They sat on a wooden bench, side by side, watching other park goers going about their business.

Duke pulled Travis close and gave a small sigh. "It feels great today, too." The sun was high and there was a light breeze in the air, giving a great feeling on his fur. It really was just nice to be out and about next to Travis. A small noise came from the ferret as he pressed himself closer to Duke. He was also enjoying the sun and breeze on his fur. But more than that, his heart skipped a beat as Duke pressed against him. This was only the first part of their date and he already felt like he was in one of those romance movies.

Duke stood up from the bench, lifting Travis along with him. "So? Where do you wanna go now?" The weasel's tone of voice brought a blush to Travis' muzzle. After taking a moment to collect himself, the ferret gave Duke a curious smile.

"Huh? I don't really know? You got anywhere you wanna go?" Travis asked, placing a paw on his hips. Now Duke was the one with a curious look, thinking of the ideal place to take Travis. It was only the afternoon, giving them both plenty of time to do whatever they wanted. He wanted to do something that would kill some time but would also be fun for the both of them. Then the answer hit him and it made him feel foolish that he didn't come up with it earlier.

"Hey, how about we go to the movies?" Duke suggested, seeing the ferret's face light up at the idea. They had already watched tons of movies together in front of the couch but now they could watch one in front of the actual big screen, a staple of all dates in Duke's opinion. Travis gave a frantic nod and another smile.

"Sure, that sounds like a lot of fun? What movie should we see?" Travis asked in excitement.

Duke led Travis through the park towards the downtown area, all the while both were giving suggestions on what kind of movie they wanted to watch, suggesting something like an action, a comedy or even a romance. Both eventually agreed on a category: a romantic comedy.

"You like rom-coms?" Travis asked in surprise, cocking his head at the weasel.

"I didn't think you liked them either!" Duke laughed. The pair left the park behind and were walking down the main sidewalk towards downtown. Travis had looked up the movie listings and he happily told Duke that the next showing was twenty minutes away, plenty of time for them to get there and even stop for snacks. Duke saw how excited Travis was and that brought him excitement as well. The two eagerly walked down the sidewalk, talking about how much fun they were going to have, looking up movie listings and picking the romantic comedy. They had fifteen minutes left and could see the movie theater in the distance. Something caught Duke's eye, making him stop in his tracks. Travis stopped as well, looking down at the weasel.

"Hey, how about we make a quick stop here?" Duke suggested, pointing to the shop they stopped in front of. Travis looked up at the sign and read it, realizing they were in front of a clothing store. The ferret was a bit confused but followed behind the other mustelid, curious to know what held Duke's interest. Stepping inside they were met with many shirts, pants and other accessories on display. A gasp of awe came from Travis as he looked around the place, his attention drawn to the sunglasses display. Duke chuckled as he watched the ferret trying on the sunglasses, turning away to speak with the panda behind the glass counter. Inside the glass were many different kinds of rings, necklaces and pendants. All of them had a shine to them in their crystal, silver and gold colors.

Travis meanwhile had tried on a pair of aviators, admiring his look in the mirror. He found that the shade of the glasses matched the color of his 'mask'. With a small giggle to himself he placed the shades back on the display rack and turned around to see Duke purchasing something. He couldn't see exactly what was being held firmly in Duke's paw. The panda gave him a small nod and thanked him for stopping by. The weasel turned around, a smug look on his face. Before Travis could ask what was going on, Duke opened his paw and revealed a silver necklace with a small pendant dangling from it.

"I want you to have this, Trav. I saw it and I knew it would look great on you," Duke said, feeling a hot blush creeping along his muzzle.

Words failed Travis as he took the necklace and looked it at. A part of him wondered if he should accept something like this, not even knowing how expensive it was but another part of him was touched that Duke would get him something like this. He had to admit that it did look good and the pendant was in the shape of a paw. Looking up he saw Duke making an awkward look and that made him smile. He took the necklace in his paws and put each end around his neck, hooking the clasp in the back.

"Th-thanks, Duke. I love it," Travis smiled, looking at a nearby mirror. It was the perfect length and it matched the tones of his fur surprisingly well.

"You look amazing with it on..." Duke nodded, wanting to say more but his mind failed to come up with anything more to say. But Travis looked back at him with a wide smile.

"Come on, we're gonna miss the movie," Travis said, taking the shorter mustelid's paw and leading him out of the shop. Duke felt the blush returning to his muzzle, feeling his paw wrapped around the ferret's. It held firm but felt gentle and soft, just like his fur. Duke soon managed to get his footing and kept pace with Travis, walking past the crosswalk and down the sidewalk towards the theater. Travis slowed his pace, checking his phone to see they had eight minutes left. Coming down the opposite end of the sidewalk were the many animals walking out the theater, many of them talking to each other about the flick they had seen and how much fun they had. But all Duke focused on was walking beside Travis, admiring how excited he looked to be seeing the movie. It was easy for them to squeeze and weave through the crowd of bigger mammals and they found themselves right in front of the theater, with time to spare.

Upon stepping in the building they made a plan, Duke handed Travis fifty dollars for snacks while he would go off to the ticket booth and pay for their movie. It did make Duke a little anxious, having to leave Travis on his own, but he thought about what he needed to do and why he was doing it. All he had to do was get to the booth, pay for the tickets and then he could get back and help Travis pick out snacks.

Luck was on his side, most likely because of his coming in just as the last round of movie goers were leaving, he was the first and only one in front of the booth. The collie working it was a bit surprised to see the weasel but still asked him what movie he would like to see and Duke told her, requesting two tickets and quickly paid for them. A smile was on his face as he took the tickets and thanked the collie. As quickly as he could, he walked away towards the snacks. There were other animals there but it was easy for his eyes to land on Travis, looking up at the menu.

"Pick anything?" Duke asked, making the ferret jump a little.

"Oh..." Travis chuckled. "I got us a large popcorn that we could share and two small sodas but other than that, I can't really think of much else. I don't wanna get more than we can carry."

Duke looked at the large popcorn bucket and the small drinks beside it and nodded, seeing that any more would be difficult for both of them to carry, even together.

"Alright, how about we carry these to our seats first and then if we want anything else we still have five minutes before the movie starts," Duke suggested. A nod came from Travis and they picked up their snacks and drinks, Duke offering to carry the popcorn while Travis held the drinks and read the ticket for where they were supposed to go. It was a bit difficult for the weasel, the bucket being larger than what he could fit his arms, but he was determined and careful to make sure that he had a firm grip on the popcorn. Following Travis' lead, they stepped down the small hall, into their correct theater. To both of their surprise the theater was nearly packed with many different animals already waiting for the movie to start, it made Duke think that maybe they weren't as early as he thought they were.

Travis quietly pointed out their row, which was luckily very close to the theater's exit, meaning Duke wouldn't have to struggle to balance the bucket up or down the stairs. The row they were given was also empty and so was in front and back of them. Duke found it rather odd but he was thankful for it either way. They found their seats and Duke carefully placed the popcorn down between them. Travis placed the drinks on each of their cup holders as Duke sat down.

"You can hurry and get anything else you want, I'll be right here," Duke offered. Travis nodded, stepping around the popcorn bucket and down the row and out of the theater. Left alone, Duke breathed a sigh of relief that everything went well and he began to watch the ads that came before the actual showing.

***

Travis soon returned with a few boxes of candy, stepping carefully around the bucket of popcorn once again. He sat down on the seat beside Duke, and carefully lifted the bucket of popcorn so it rested on their armrests. Duke was impressed by how easily Travis could lift the bucket but was even more grateful that he wouldn't have to do that, sure he would have slipped up and dropped the bucket.

"All ready to go?" Duke whispered to Travis. In response the ferret nodded his head, reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone, turning both the brightness and volume down. Duke did the same for his own and after he did the advertisements were over and the movie began.

Both of them enjoy themselves the entire time, eating popcorn, munching on candy and laughing at all the ridiculous hijinks on screen. Both Duke and Travis were having a great time watching the screen but sometimes their paws would connect when they reached for popcorn at the same time, bringing their attention to one another. They would flash each other smiles and sometimes give an awkward chuckle. Despite the large bucket of popcorn between them, Duke and Travis got as close to each other as they possibly could. Even though the entire theater was filled with many animals, all that Duke registered were just him, Travis and the movie they were watching.

Duke knew that the movie was wrapping up and that made his heart pound. Unknown to Travis, he had something planned for after the movie was finished and the thought of it made his heart skip a beat. But he said nothing about it, simply enjoying the rest of the movie alongside the ferret.

"Did you like it?" Duke asked Travis as they walked out of the theater.

"Yeah, it was great. It was funnier than I thought it would be, too."

"I know, especially that chase scene," Duke nodded. "Uh, I know this is kinda sudden but there's one last place I wanna take you."

Stepping outside of the theater, both Duke and Travis were a bit surprised to see that the sun was setting, the stars already being visible above them. This only encouraged Duke as he took Travis' paw and led him down the sidewalk. Further ahead of them was an outdoor restaurant, a few animals already there. Travis saw this and thought it would be nice to stop there and eat a nice meal and much to his surprise, Duke stopped in front of the establishment. "Have you ever eaten here before?" Duke asked, getting a head shake from Travis.

"I've only been here once a long, long time ago." Duke reminisced, thinking about the last time. "Come on, you wanna go in or eat out?"

Travis took a moment to think about it and the twinkling stars along with the gentle breeze gave him the answer. "Let's eat outside," he nodded. He followed behind Duke and together they stepped into the building. They stopped at the front, talking to the zebra in front and telling her they wanted a table out front. She smiled at the two of them and led them through the establishment and onto the outdoor deck. They were seated at a table and handed two menus, assured that there would be a waiter there to see them soon.

"Wow, they got some pretty great stuff here," Duke said in awe, looking at the items they had to offer.

"I know. There's some stuff here that I'd never even heard of," Travis agreed, flipping onto another page. The two decided on what they wanted and waited for the waiter to arrive at their table.

"This place is really pretty, especially at night," Travis sighed, looking around. The wooden roof above them was decorated with string lights and the wooden table they sat at even had a small glass covered candle, the tables were separated enough that even the noisy larger mammals were nothing more than background noise, allowing Travis to focus on Duke and only Duke. The weasel also admired the illuminated and pretty setting. It was as if there were stars all around them, and it made Travis' eyes sparkle, giving Duke a fluttery feeling in his stomach.

The waiter soon showed up and both mustelids told them what they wanted. Duke ordered the mushroom burger while Travis requested the stir fry bowl. The waiter took their menus, ushering them away to the kitchen, relaying what they wanted to the cooks.

"You know, I've had a lot of fun today," Travis said, looking away for a moment. "Well, it's been the most fun I've ever had. Thank you, Duke." His eyes returned to look at the weasel, sparkling from all the lights around them.

"D-don't worry about it," Duke chuckled, feeling his heart start to pound. Travis' eyes were shimmering and he felt them piercing into him. He cleared his throat and focused once again, "I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time...with you, I mean. I've always loved spending time with you and I'm glad that you've had a great time."

"D-Duke..." Travis started, feeling his muzzle heating up. "I really like spending time with you and I want to spend time like this all the time...If that makes any sense..." He gave an awkward chuckle but continued. "What I mean to say is; it feels like what we had back in college, but better. I want things to be like this all the time."

"So do I..." Duke agreed. "I know we've both been through some rough stuff but right here and right now feels...right, you know? Even after what happened back then I never stopped thinking about you. And now I just want to do everything I can to make everyday special...b-because I love you, Travis." He was surprised by the words that came out of his mouth, and even more surprised by the look on Travis' face. A wide smile was on the ferret's face and his eyes somehow twinkled even more than before.

"I...I love you, too, Duke." The words came from Travis' muzzle with more confidence than anything he ever said before. Both of them smiled at each other, feeling their hearts pounding against their chests. Each of them were so happy that the feelings they had for one another hadn't faded over time and now things between them felt better than before.

The waiter returned with each of their meals, Duke didn't realize just how hungry he was. Travis also eagerly accepted his meal. "Wow, it looks really good!" Travis beamed, looking down at his stir fry.

"Maybe I should have come here more often," Duke grinned, picking up his burger.

Both mammals were soon digging into their meals, enjoying each of them immensely. For similar reasons, it was the best meal that either Duke or Travis had in a long time. For Duke it was much better than any jail meal of measly take out he would have to settle with. In Travis' case, meals at a place like this were always out of his price range. He could see why their food had such a high price attached, the vegetables in his stir fry were flavorful and the rice was seasoned to complement them perfectly. On their own both the rice and fried vegetables were good, but once he took a bite of them at once the two of them blended in harmony, giving a smoky and sweet taste.

Duke was the first to finish and Travis followed suit, both of them felt satisfied with their meal, but had some room for a little bit more. Someone on the staff must have noticed this as a waiter, an elk was there and asking them if they would like anything else. They were once again handed the menu and looked through the dessert section, asking each other what they thought the other should get. To their surprise they both decided on the cheesecake, along with it Duke asked for two glasses of wine. The elk nodded, took their menus and he was off to relay what they wanted to the cooks.

Once again, Duke and Travis were left with one another. At least that's what it felt like, everyone and all their voices melted away in the background. All the weasel and ferret could see or hear each other. They had a little small talk while they waited for their dessert and drinks to arrive, reminiscing on the good times in college and sharing a few laughs about the things they got into back then. It was a small moment that both of them felt like they had achieved happiness, feeling their hearts pound and butterflies fluttering inside them. It had been a long time since Duke found himself getting lost into someone's eyes and it was the first time Travis ever considered his long term future and shared it with someone.

Their slices of cheesecake and glasses of wine were brought to them and they both thanked the waiter for bringing it to them. The next few minutes were spent with Duke and Travis trying to come up with something to toast to until they settled on toasting to the day itself, agreeing that it had been perfect in every way. Travis was the first to take his fork and taste the cheesecake, with just one bite the sweet, light cream melted on his tongue. Duke tasted it as well and both of them agreed that it was marvelous. Duke had never tasted something like it, it was so soft and sweet, coating his tongue in a mix of tart berry and the light creme.

Both desserts were quickly finished, leaving the wine left to be tasted. When asked what kind they wanted both Travis and Duke agreed on it being a surprise. In their glasses was a white wine that smelled rather sweet. Travis gave it a taste first, being met with a honey-like flavor with a nutty aftertaste. He thought it tasted pretty good. Duke drank a bit of it down and enjoyed how sweet it was, just like the cheesecake and didn't mind the nuttiness at all, enjoying that as well. Soon their drinks were finished and the mustelids agreed to call it a night. The check soon came and Duke paid for it all without giving it a second thought. He gave a generous tip to the waiter and with Travis by his side he walked out of the establishment.

The sky above them was dark but illuminated with the twinkling stars and the silver light of the moon. Together they walked down the sidewalk, holding each other's paws and talking about the day they had. Travis admitted it was the best day he ever had and Duke quickly agreed as they made it past the crosswalk. They walked down the sidewalk, towards the park all the while they were enjoying the sights of the city. Around them lights of shops still open flashed and blinked, above them the street lamps lit the way towards the park and other mammals were on the sidewalk, talking to one another about their own lives. Something about it all brought Duke a heavy sense of peace, imagining if everyday could be like this with Travis at his side.

They reached the park and used it to reach the street where the complex was. Both short mammals had a great day but they were also feeling a bit tired. Duke led the way down the sidewalk, the two of them finding it much more empty than the busy sidewalks of downtown. But the nearby shops and street lamps still illuminated the way back home and gave the two of them an added sense of safety. They reached the complex and Travis stepped inside first while Duke held the door open for him. The two walked up the stairs and made it to Travis' apartment, which the ferret unlocked with his keys.

Upon reaching home, Travis gave a sigh and a stretch. Even though it was fairly early in the night he still felt tired and almost ready to pass out. Duke felt tired as well, letting out a yawn.

"Hehe, been a long day, huh?" Duke snickered, sitting down on the couch.

"The best day off I ever had," Travis nodded and gave another stretch. He gave a small chuckle, feeling his mule heating up. "It's been a long day for both of us and you don't have to sleep on the couch...I mean--you can sleep in my bed with me."

Duke's ears perked and his eyes widened upon hearing those words. Despite how tired he was, the weasel rose to his feet and gave an awkward chuckle of his own. "Uh, if you're okay with it then..."

Travis led that way to his bedroom, a path Duke had taken many times but now he felt his chest pounding and his paws started to feel cold. Despite that, his feet continued forward into the ferret's domain. He had been in Travis' bedroom many times but this time felt special. The ferret was walking towards the bed but tripped on the carpet. Duke rushed forwards and managed to catch the bigger mammal just in time, holding him in his arms just over the bed.

A small chuckle came from both of them. Duke noticed how close together they were, being able to hear Travis' breathing alongside his own. He could feel the soft fur even through the ferret's shirt and he could see the expression on Travis' face. Duke had no idea what was going through his head, maybe it was nothing at all. But the next thing he knew his muzzle was pressed against Travis', he could feel the bigger tongue against his own and the soft moans escaping the ferret's muzzle around their kiss. A small groan came from him, feeling Travis' arms wrapping around his back and pulling him in closer. Duke closed his eyes and gave a deep moan of his own, tasting the wine on the ferret's tongue and the paws that were rubbing up and down his back.

He could feel his face heating up, feeling something pressing against his thigh and wondering if Travis could feel the same. They broke away from the kiss, both their muzzles feeling a bit wet, and took a moment to catch their breath. It was Travis who looked down first at the tent rising in Duke's shorts. Of course, it wasn't the first time Travis had done something like this with Duke but it had been a long time since then.

"Duke are you..? I mean-Do you wanna?" Travis stammered, his gaze faltering from the weasel's.

"Yeah, b-but only if you want to..." Duke nodded slowly. With a heave of effort, he managed to lift the ferret up just enough that he was placed on the edge of the bed.

"W-well if we are...Th-then look in the middle left drawer, under the pants and you'll find it," Travis stammered, managing to point the way. Duke followed his gaze and opened the drawer that the TV rested on top of, pulling out the middle left drawer and after doing as the ferret told him, he found what was being referred to. It was a rather wide bottle of lube that was about half full, seeing it made Duke's breath falter for a moment. The realization struck him that he was really about to do this. With a deep breath he grabbed the bottle and pushed the drawer shut once again. A blush rose of Travis' muzzle, seeing the bottle unearthed and before his eyes.

A small chuckle came from Duke, eyeing the container as he returned to the bed. "Hehe, looks like you've been pretty busy without me," he teased. A small chuckle came from Travis as well, watching as the weasel climbed on the bed and sat next to him. Before Travis could say anymore a small kiss was planted on his cheek, making him freeze up again.

"It's...It's been a long time since we've done something like this, huh?" Duke asked, placing his paw on top of Travis'. The ferret gave a small nod and a smile spread on his muzzle.

"I think about it all the time," Travis said, giggling as he saw the wide eyes and blush on Duke's muzzle this time. Duke gave Travis a playful shove and gave a laugh of his own.

"Well, tonight you get to try the real thing," Duke grinned in a low tone, running his paw underneath Travis' shirt, feeling the warm, soft fur. His ears twitched as a small sigh came from the black and white mustelid, enjoying the blunt claws running through his fur. Taking his other paw, Duke snaked it under Travis' shirt and slowly began to lift it up. Travis let Duke lift higher and higher until the shirt reached his neck and he helped take it off, along with his necklace, which Duke placed carefully on the nightstand. With a gentle push of his paw, Duke lowered Travis on the bed until his back was touching the sheets. Another small groan came from Travis, feeling something warm on his chest. Above him he could hear Duke make a low noise and along with it came another warm feeling. Duke pressed his muzzle against the lithe mammal's chest, giving a slow kiss before slinking lower to do it again.

His kisses continued downward, reaching Travis' upper stomach. The kisses Duke planted became even slower and lingered longer, leaving a wet feeling behind when he did move lower. Above him Travis gave more small noises, feeling his entire body heating up. He did his best to keep his body still, despite the warm, tickling sensation moving lower and lower down his body. Duke gave a kiss to the ferret's navel, reaching his shorts. A low growl rose from the weasel's chest as his paws grabbed hold of the waistline. A surprised hiss came from Travis, feeling his shorts being pulled off so easily and being left in his boxers. He could feel his face heating up once again, knowing that his full mast was tenting the clothing. Duke slowly drew his tongue across his muzzle, eyeing the twitching mass underneath the boxers. But instead of pulling them off as well, Duke slunk forwards slowly. He heard a yelp come from Travis the instant he pressed his nose against the base of his length, feeling the cold, wetness seeping through the fabric.

Duke pressed a bit closer, his nose picking up hints of the ferret's musk. His arms moved up to latch on either side of the boxer's band but instead of pulling them down, Duke continued to tease Travis through his boxers. A shiver ran through the bigger mammal along with a pitched whine, feeling Duke's warm tongue drawing itself slowly through the fabric. The lick started at his balls, traced up his shaft and ended with a small flick at his tip. Before the ferret could collect himself Duke was at it again, this time lapping at the ferret's bits in one fell sweep of his tongue. Hearing the small whines and grunts above him brought a fluttery feeling in Duke's chest and that gave him the motivation to increase not only the speed of his licks but the pressing of his tongue. The bottom half of Travis' boxers were soon soaked and Duke's nose was filled with the scent of Travis' scent along with a small hint of the wine he drank earlier. He could feel the length against his tongue pulsing lightly in time with the ferret's heartbeat.

Travis was breathing heavily and his claws were clutching the sheets underneath him. It had only been a minute and a half of licking but it only felt better and better each time, bringing his climax closer and closer. Duke must have sensed this as well and decided to take it to the next level, in a quick motion he pulled the boxers down. Travis gave another grunt, gritting his teeth as the wet fabric swiped over his length. His length sprung free from the boxers, the motion flinging a line of pre on the weasel's muzzle. Duke recoiled a bit but quickly realized what had happened and gave a little smile. Hearing the heavy breathing coming from Travis, and seeing the pulsing of his length, Duke figured that Travis was getting pretty close and that was just fine with him but he wanted to have a little fun of his own.

"H-hey, Trav," Duke said, lifting up to sit on his knees between the ferret's legs. "Here, take this." Travis sat up a bit and was handed the bottle of lube but he was a bit confused on why Duke was giving it to him at a moment like this. But his question was quickly answered with Duke turning around and in a swift motion he pulled both down his shorts and his underwear. Travis blinked in shock at seeing the weasel, looking back at him with a smug look on his face, slowly swaying his hips back and forth. He slowly lifted his tail, revealing the pink flesh underneath and for added measure the weasel gave a firm smack to his own butt. Travis blinked again and snapped from his trance, looking down at the bottle of lube and back at Duke.

Duke gave him a wink, "That's the idea. Come on, don't be shy, stud. I...I trust ya."

A warm feeling spread throughout Travis' body not only at the excitement he felt but also because he remembered those being the words he said to Duke before their first time. Travis gave a firm nod and squeezed a dollop of the slippery liquid on his digits. He stretched forward and heard a shuddering moan come from Duke as he pressed his slicked digits slowly and gently first around the surface of the ring. Withdrawing his paw and putting a bit more lube on his paw, Travis returned to Duke, earning a deep moan as his first digit slowly pressed against the ring until it sank inside. Knowing from being on the receiving end more than a few times, Travis held his digit there for a few seconds, listening to Duke's breathing.

"You ready for the next one?" Travis asked.

"Y-yeah...Been a while since I've done this. Lay it on me, big guy." Duke nodded, a soft hiss escaping his lips as another digit slipped inside of him. Travis held it there for a little while before slowly slipping the two digits back and forth, making sure that the weasel was both lubed up really well and that he was preparing his hole for the stretching that was about to occur. He slowly withdrew his fingers, hearing Duke give a grunt as he did so. With one final squeeze of the bottle onto his paw he pressed his digits against the ring and once he made it through he slowly pressed further and further, earning a shudder and whimper from the receiving weasel.

"That was...Wow. You're a real pro at this, huh?" Duke panted, bending his frame to look back at the ferret. Travis wasn't surprised by this, as he could do that same as well. Instead he gave a smirk and a small laugh.

"Hehe, we'll just say that I know what guys like, right?" He took another bit of lube onto his paw and spread it around his length, a moan escaping his lips as he did so. A chuckle came from Duke as he regained the ferret's attention by scooting back and swaying his hips once again. He paused for a moment to slip his shorts and boxers down his legs and ankles. Travis smiled and took Duke's hips in his paws, feeling the soft mounds against them. But to Travis's surprise, Duke turned around and began to crawl up his body until their muzzles were mere inches apart.

Duke placed a paw on Travis's shoulder and the other reached back, gently gripping the ferret's length. As he was lowering himself, he held Travis in place. They made contact and a hiss escaped Duke's lips as he paused a moment and slowly took more of the ferret's length. Travis suppressed a shudder, feeling his hot, wet ring slipping past his tip and shaft. With another grunt from Duke, more of his length sunk inside and made Travis growl in pleasure. It was a sound that surprised Duke but it also excited him, realizing that Travis had a predatory side to him after all.

Duke sat there for a moment, panting heavily before with a small whine and another gasp he lifted his headquarters only to slam them back down, sinking the ferret's length deeper down. Another growl came from Travis, feeling the tight, hot walls gliding against his length. After a bit of the slow steady movements, Duke felt himself loosening up and picked up the back. He gripped Travis' shoulders tighter, slamming his tail against the ferret's balls. The wet slapping noise was combined with the sounds of the weasel and ferret's moans. Travis wrapped his own arms around Duke, another growl escaping his lips. He could feel his tip poking deeper and deeper into the Duke, the passage only getting tighter the deeper he prodded. Duke panted into Travis' fur, feeling his own length pulsing and leaking with need but he ignored it as he bounced even faster on the ferret. He could feel Travis' claws digging into his back and his length stretching him out.

"K-keep going just like that..." Travis mumbled, holding onto Duke even tighter.

"Anything you say, big guy." Duke kept up the pace best he could, the burning in his legs only outmatched by the pleasure flowing through his entire body. Travis hit a spot within him that made his breath lock for a moment and a spurt of pre land on his partner's stomach.

Travis huffed into Duke's fur, inhaling his scent and drawing his tongue across his neck. A loud moan came from the weasel as Travis thrust upwards, burying himself deeper. He pulled Duke close, nuzzling and licking his neck as he bucked his hips into the weasel's twitching hole. Duke could only pant and whimper as his hole was being pounded and stretched, sending jolts of pleasure throughout his body. The ferret could feel the rise of his climax and only humped faster, never more bliss in his whole life. Duke's noises were turning him on even more and his balls ached to be released.

"I'm real close...I think I'm about to cum.." Travis hissed, holding onto the weasel tighter. Duke could feel the weasel's length throbbing inside of him along with the hot pre dripping and coating his insides. He knew that the ferret was close and braced himself. That moment soon came with a strained grunt from Travis and bout of wild bucking into his partner. Duke whimpered, suddenly feeling a flush of something hot gushing inside of him. He looked over to see the ferret's face scrunched and his teeth grit, likely he was having the most intense orgasm of his life. With a final thrust and grunt, Travis slowly opened his eyes and gave a shuddering moan. Around the sticky heat he could feel the ferret's length already softening inside of him.

With a hiss and a grunt, Duke lifted his hindquarters, feeling the shaft sliding out of him and soon the tip. Along with Travis' length came a few drops of ferret seed, making Duke moan at how full he still felt. But that was short lived, feeling paws on his back once again. It took him a moment to register that Travis was lifting him up. The ferret brought him close and without uttering a word he lowered his own muzzle and wrapped it around Duke's twitching length, getting another whine out of the weasel. It only took a few bobs of his head before the shaft began to pulse against his tongue and a spurt coated his tongue. Travis swallowed around it, listening to the weasel's moans and hisses. With another gulp he released Duke, watching the softening length flop onto the weasel's thigh.

Both mustelids were left a panting and gasping mess. Both of them felt absolutely spent but also happy as this truly made the perfect ending to the perfect night.

"We...should probably get cleaned up," Travis suggested with an awkward chuckle.

But Duke placed a finger on his muzzle. "Shh, shh. Let's just enjoy it for a little longer."

Travis agreed and closed his eyes, running his paws through the weasel's fur while Duke gave slow rubs to Travis' belly fur. Both of them were in absolute bliss, feeling like they had passed all barriers needed for them to be a true couple. Though neither of them said it, they both knew that this was only the beginning of something that was special and long lasting.
