Baseball in Winter
#1 of Baseball in Winter
A new story I finished in record time! It's an emotinal story between a fox and a wolf and both are missing something in their life. There is going to be three chapters. There is a small part of masturbation but nothing to ride home about and not worth it going to adult
The plane had smoke billowing from it, the engine had fire spurting from every crease. It took a nose dive, creating the pilots nightmare, the sound and the spiral dive impossible to get out of. One of the wings dissolved and the small one engine plane smashed into an open field creating a crescendo of fire spreading across the field. It's burning carcass an inescapable deathtrap for anything.
Ket woke up in a cold sweat, the dream had returned. His dad's plane crash had haunted him for the six years he'd been gone. The fox moved to sit on the side of the bed he drew in some deep breaths trying to regulate himself. His paw reached for a picture on his bedside table. In it showed a small white fox kit on the shoulders of a powerful, loving wolf. The kit was holding a model airplane and the wolf was grinning as he watched his son play with it. Ket held the picture with all the love he could muster, he missed his dad. He wanted to be with him, and for six years his airplane had been haunting his dreams.
"So I'll just not sleep then."
The white fox laid on his side with the picture still in his paws. He stared at it until he had to get up at seven o' clock. Four hours to go.
His alarm clock finally went off and Ket switched it off before he felt the need to throw it across the room. He replaced the picture on his bedside table and got to work getting dressed for school.
He slung his back pack around his shoulder and made his way downstairs where the smell of waffles with syrup drifted to his nose. Kita was making breakfast again meaning his mom was already at the factory. The dark grey fox looked up from the waffle iron.
"Oh, you're awake! I made pancakes for you! A good way to start off the week huh?"
He muttered something under his breath. Kita had filled in the position of mother and father for him, his mom had been busy working almost twenty-four seven and with dad gone someone had to fill it and she was the oldest. Ket sat and poked at the waffle on his plate.
"Something the matter Ket?"
He sighed, "No."
Kita moved away from the kitchen and sat across from him at the table, "You sure? You don't look that good."
Without looking at her he replied with a "I'm fine." She leaned forward, "Was it the dream again?"
Suddenly, Wyn, Kets other sister appeared from the hallway. She only had a towel wrapping around her orange and white fur. The rest of it had faint shampoo bubbles in it.
"KITA!"
She was a year older than him, but sometimes acted like a toddler. "What is it this time Wyn?"
She stomped up to Kita and pointed a finger right in her face. "You used all the shampoo! And the hot water!"
Kita scoffed at her, "Well, it's not my fault that you didn't wake up sooner."
Ket used this as his excuse and quietly left the table, he put on his jacket and opened the door to the fresh snow that had just fallen the night before. He walked out and jumped at the temperature but he continued, making his way for school.
"Plus, you always use it up and I buy it! I thought it would be my chance!"
Wyn fired back, "Yeah, you buy it with moms money!"
"Wait." Kita put up a paw, "not again."
"What is it?" Wyn said lowering her voice.
"Ket left again."
The two stared at the empty chair, in front of it were two waffles, not even touched.
Ket goes through his school day like any other, quiet and out of the way. He spent his lunch at the far corner of the cafeteria munching on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich he made. He finished all his work in every one of his classes first, like always, and turned it in without a word. Finally, the bell rang for sixth period and he sat at the back of the class glad that the day was almost over. The teacher, a collie by the name of Mrs. Granker, stood up from her desk.
"Ok, welcome back from the weekend everybody."
Everyone let go a sigh, this was the last roadblock until the day was over and she was just rubbing it in.
"Today I'm assigning a project, a partner project."
Ket watched as most of the people in the class glanced at their friends and nodded signifying that they were partners, a ritual Ket was never a part of.
Mrs. Granker stopped them, "now before you start choosing partners I have decided that I'm going to be choosing them for you."
This brought many groans from the furs who already had chosen them.
"Yes, I will be choosing them. And your project, a powerpoint presentation on one of the planets in the solar system. Now, this isn't like a sixth grade project where you say 'this is Mars, it's red, we've landed robots there.' No, I want eleventh grade work ok? Here's a rubric."
She started passing small sheets of paper down the rows, Ket got it but didn't look at it. Mrs. Granker continued.
"I will be reading out two names and a planet, there are twelve groups so some of you will have to double up on your planet. Ok, Hakle and Firer, mercury. Oh yeah, when I call your name you can go back to the computers in the back and start."
Ket put his head in his paws, this was going to be an easy project. He just didn't want to be paired with the wrong person. They got down to the bottom of the list and six furs remained, that was when his name was called.
"Ket and Ciyter, you will be doing Jupiter. Go ahead and head back."
Ket watched his partner rise. He was a golden-brown furred wolf who was almost a hero in sports at this school. He was well built with a fairly large stature, he could easily pummel Ket if he felt like it. He hoped he wouldn't feel like it.
Ket went back to the computer and logged on, Ciyter stood beside him.
"So, Jupiter." He said in a tone Ket wasn't expecting. "You know much about it?" Ket shrugged, he actually knew quite a bit.
"Oh yeah, students!" Mrs. Granker said, "We'll begin presentations on Friday!"
More exasperated sighs escaped the muzzles of the slackers, although Ket could do this and have it ready by Wednesday if he wanted.
Ciyter complained, "Really, Friday. She's pushing us."
Ket just shrugged and got to work creating a rough data sheet while Ciyter read the rubric. For the rest of the day Ciyter did all the talking, Ket stayed quiet.
The bell rang and Ket immediately shut down the computer and left the room leaving Ciyter. The wolf watched the fox leave. He's happy that he got him for a partner because he's the smartest fur in the class, but something isn't right with him. He did know what happened to his dad, everyone in the whole town did. But that was six years ago, could he still be holding on to that? Ciyter quickly packed up his stuff and followed the fox to the outside of the building. He crossed the street instead of taking the busses, why? He knew his sister takes the bus. Ciyter shook his head, this was one confusing fox. He turns and makes his way to his car and carefully drives home in the snow. He sees Ket walking home but continues on.
He drives up to his house and goes through the door to find his giant of a dad standing waiting for him.
"Hey son, how was school."
Ciyter just about jumped three feet in the air, he wasn't expecting that.
"Pretty good dad."
He wasn't content with the answer, "Only pretty good? What made it pretty good, what happened?"
Ciyter shrugged, "I dun know, I did get an A on a math test."
The wolf patted his sons back, "Great Job son, but just work harder. Just because you do well on one thing doesn't mean you'll do well in others."
Ciyter took it, but a smell reached his nose. "What's that?"
His dad smiled, "Oh it's Apple cooking up something delicious I hope!"
Ciyter sighed, it smelt like broccoli casserole, something he hated but his parents loved. Suddenly Apple peered around the corner. "Oh Ciyter your home! Just in time for Dinner."
He looked at the clock as he walked to the table, "Think it's a bit early?"
The she-wolf smiled as she put the casserole on the table, "Better eat it while it's hot!"
"Gyld honey could you pass the salt?"
Ciyter's father picked up the shaker and passed it to his mate.
"Ciyter tells me he got an A on a math test."
Apple nodded as she chewed, "Great, just be sure to keep it up. We're expecting more now!"
Ciyter nodded and took a little bit of the casserole and put it on his plate and started moving it around with his fork. Gyld noticed it.
"You'd better take more than that! Your mother spent a long time on this."
Ciyter sighed, "Look, dad I'm just not hungry. Just put it in a Tupperware for me, I'll eat it later."
That was a lie, he didn't like this dinner at all and with his parent riding him. He had enough for the day.
"Look, I have a lot of homework. A project due on Friday, could I leave and work on it."
The two looked at each other and nodded, "Ok, but I expect greatness out of that."
He left to climb the stairs saying "greatness my ass" under his breath.
Once he got to his room he gently closed his door and quietly locked it. He didn't want his parents to see what he was going to do. He moved to his laptop and opened it while it booted he unlatched his pants.
Typing in his password he made a couple of clicks and opened a file named "school 2007." It was a fake name he put to keep preying eyes away. Inside was over six-hundred pictures of naked she-wolves and vixens. Ciyter pulled his penis out, clicked one a picture and started to paw-off. Masturbating was one thing that he used to relieve stress, it worked wonders. But something was wrong, it now took him three times as long to get aroused and after ten minutes he wasn't even close. He paused.
"What's wrong?"
Clicking to the next picture he tried on that one and finally after another ten minutes he climaxed.
A sigh escaped his muzzle, "ohhh." He cleaned up and buckled his pants up. His eyes scanned to the clock, 7:45, enough time to get a little homework done. So he closed the file and accesed the internet and started his research on Jupiter.
Ket made the final keystrokes on the data sheet he made up on Jupiter. He attached it to a file and sent it to himself so he could get it at school. He already knew a bit about Jupiter so it hadn't been that hard. He sighed and checked the time, almost ten and time for bed. But he wanted to do one more thing. He quickly went to Furbook and typed in Ciyters name. He found him and clicked on profile. There were many pictures of his time in the male lacrosse team and swimming team. His ears and tail perked when he saw the swimming one's. He found one of Ciyter wearing a Speedo. He didn't look half bad, in fact he looked pretty hot. Ket leaned in closer to he could see better, but a knock at his door prevented anything else. He closed the window and turned in his chair.
"Ket, can I come in?"
He responded with a yes and the door slowly opened. His mom stood in the door way.
"I was just coming to say goodnight, and sorry that I had to be at work for so long."
Ket shook his head, "Don't be, you're busy I know it."
His mom, Liyra, almost always worked late. She was a floor manager for a musical instrument factory and thus it was almost imperative that she stay late. But she sighed.
"Look, Kita told me what happened. Did you have the dream again?"
Ket played innocent, "She told you what, about what dream?"
She moved over and kneeled in front of her son, "I remember the first time you had that dream. You were eleven. Oh, you cried for hours."
Ket stared at her wanting her to stop, she got the hint. "Just remember, I can always come home from work if you need me. Good night."
She kissed him on the forehead and left the room. Ket got undressed and climbed into bed hoping that the dream won't come back.
