_______________________________________________________________________________________________

It was now the big day. I woke up on the left side of the bed, with Ord and Sull both next to me. It seemed like they were doing some naughty things together while I was sleeping the night before. I started to brush my head against Sull's furry body, still feeling very comfortable, like his body was a giant pillow. I got up slowly after a few minutes, and noticed it was 9:30 in the morning. "Good, still early" I thought to myself, since Tony had said that he wasn't coming to the house until 2 ish. I stretched as I got myself out of the bed, and walked around the room a bit. I had my new clothes with me on the floor near the bed, and picked them up to get ready to take a shower. I didn't want to take a shower alone though, so I felt like I should wait for Sull and Ord to get up. I figured I'd go check to see if anyone else was up at that point.

Wearing only my boxers and putting down my clothes, I slowly opened the door from the room and slowly crept my way through the hallway, only to notice that none of the doors were open. "I'm surprised no one is up" I thought to myself, but then I started to hear some noise coming near one of the bedrooms, and especially from downstairs. I walked downstairs to notice Baloo and Seth on the couch, sleeping together on it with a small blanket covering both of them. The TV was on, though it was pretty quiet. I wanted to take a picture of them at that moment since they looked like a cute couple, but my phone was still back in Ord and Sull's room. "Oh well haha" I softly laughed to myself, as I walked back to the upstairs area. I figured I'd go check on my parents to see if they were up, since they usually were early birds. I opened their door VERY slowly, and noticed that the TV in their room was on too, and my Dad was sitting up a bit watching it with his eyes half closed. He simply waved over to me, not saying anything since my mom was still asleep, as well as my brother who was right next to their bed on the floor in his sleeping bag. I waved back at him and closed the door. I figured I'd just head back to sleep at this point, since no one else seemed to be up at that moment.

I headed back to Sull and Ord's room, and quietly snuck back into their bed, tucking myself into the covers again next to James. The two were still sound asleep with Ord having his arm on Sull, and I had no idea if or when they would wake up. I turned myself to Sull and put my arm over him, and it reminded me of when I slept with Tony for the first time. It was an incredible feeling of being with people I loved and cared for, and I fell asleep after that.

***** "So boss, are those guys bringing the money like they promised?" Tristen asked as he was undocking a GIANT crate full of drugs outside of the warehouse from a truck that the assassins had smuggled the night before from a farm that was about 20 miles away.

"Yeah, keep unloading everything, those guys said they would be here soon." Boss replied, watching all the guys undock the drugs from the truck with his glasses and military hat on.

"Why are we still out here in the middle of nowhere? I miss the city" the Bull asked as he was unloading everything with the Orca. "My two guys here are going to have their fun with that damn human that put them away...and hopefully we can get that damn tiger....fuckin' Tony...." Boss replied, clinching his fist with rage while also referring to Marcus and Andre, who were also looking on at the drugs being unloaded. "I can't wait.....those two fuckin idiots better get that son' bitch and bring him here." Marcus exclaimed, as the group brought the crate of drugs into the warehouse to unload everything.*****

"UMNNNNFFF" I uttered out as I woke up again, now seeing that it was 11:30 in the late morning. I felt a furry arm around me though as I was waking up, noticing that Sull had wrapped his arm around me. "Hey there hun" Sull softly said, turning to me while Ord was starting to slowly get up himself. "Hey big guy" I replied, slowly giving him a kiss and smiling after. I got up again and started to stretch, as did Ord and Sull. "Ready to surprise that big tiger today?" I asked as I walked over to the bathroom. Sull and Ord got up, with the two fully naked right in front of me. "You bet, now let's have some steamy fun hehe" Sull responded. I blushed as the two led me into the shower, though I also forgot about one important factor.

"Hey guys.... let's....not....be too loud here, my parents.... are in the other room.." I uttered very softly, feeling a little awkward. The two nodded somewhat as we turned the water on, and started washing each other off.

"I'll be gentle with ya Mike" Ord replied, as I felt him washing my back area, proceeding to the lower area of my body. My left arm was now almost 100% back to normal as Sull started to wash that area, though there was now a pretty big scar left from the bullet wound on both my arm and my shoulder. I still couldn't move it as strongly as my right arm yet, though it was pretty close. As the water kept running down us, I was now fully hard while in-between the Dragon and monster in the shower, before I felt something that I didn't expect.

*GASP*

I flinched when I felt Ord grabbing my member from behind me after he washed up the lower part of my body. "Want me to also help you in this area...Mike?" he asked. I acted very submissive at that moment and closed my eyes. Ord put his head on my shoulder and started to stroke my penis off little by little, as Sull was just watching Ord do all the work. I put my right arm around the back of his head, and wrapped my left arm around the lower area of Ord as he was stroking me off. "Guess I shouldn't leave myself out of this here" Sull spoke softly in front of us, as he started stroking his GIANT purple member in front of Ord and myself. Ord grabbed my chin with his right arm as he kept stroking me, as small amounts of pre started leaking from my member. "Oh yeah Ord.....keep going..." I mustered, now sweating from the amount of heat that was being produced in the shower.

"How bout I do one better here...." Ord whispered into my ear, as I felt something long and hard moving up and down my ass cheeks. "Mmmmmmnnnffhh...yes..." I whispered, trying not to let anyone outside of the area hear us. "Here I go Mike...." Ord whispered again, as he lathered up his dragon cock with soap and slowly inserted his penis into my ass. "OHHHHH...." I mustered a bit loudly, forgetting that I needed to act quietly at that moment. Slowly back and forth, Ord's cock felt so big inside me, yet it also felt immensely pleasurable. "Keep going...harder...mmmmm " I exclaimed. I then started to feel Ord's scaly hand stroke my cock again, and I began to moan louder and louder. I then overheard Sull almost letting out a purr like Tony did as he was still stroking himself off.

"He..rree....have....some.....monnn.ssstteerrr....milk.....MMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Sull yelled as he shot his seed directly onto my face after stroking himself off for a good few minutes. Shot after shot, my face was covered in cum, though it was washing off little by little from the water running down the shower. "Ahhh....that felt so good...." Sull said, letting out a heavy breath and grabbing the soap to wash himself off again. "Here I come mike.......ready..." Ord asked, with me nodding like usual and holding onto him harder than ever. "Good boy" Sull replied, petting my head as Ord continued to move faster and faster inside me. "A little......... more.....YES.....OHHHHHH" I exclaimed myself, with Ord shouting at the exact same time as both our cocks erupted with seed, with my cock splurting all over Sull's body, and Ord filling me up from his giant dragon member. My inner area felt like it was being filled up to capacity, but I didn't want it to stop. "More....more...." I exclaimed, as I felt his seed still shooting in me. It took at least 15 shots for his member to finally stop, and my insides felt hotter than an oven at that moment. "Sooo....good...." Ord said as he started to pull out of me, with an ooze of dragon seed leaking out of my ass afterward. "You're such a good boy" Ord replied, still holding onto me from behind. I turned my head behind towards his and started kissing him very slowly.

After finishing getting cleaned up, and getting dressed, the three of us started to head towards the downstairs area to get ready for the party. Everyone was now up as we noticed that every door of the upstairs area was open, except for my parent's room. "You three seemed...to be quite productive in there hahahaha!" Gantu laughed, with Kumi grinning as the two finished getting dressed to head down. "Stop it guys! My parents are only a couple of rooms down!" I whispered, though I was also turning red when I felt Sull and Ord both put their hands on my shoulders. I walked near my parents bedroom and opened the door slowly.

"Oh....hey guys" My mom exclaimed, as she was watching some movie on the AMC channel. "When is Tony getting here again?" My dad asked, as he was typing away on his toughbook sitting next to the TV.

"Uhhhhh.....2 ish I think, though he'll call I hope" I replied. I still felt awkward at that moment, especially with Sull and Ord behind me, though my parents really didn't seem to have any particular look on their faces. "Hey, where's will?" I asked, not seeing him in the room.

"Oh he went downstairs like about a couple minutes ago, I think he said he wanted to go play some pool in the basement."

"Ah ok, I think everyone else is coming downstairs now" I replied, now feeling somewhat better that my parents didn't ask me any awkward questions. "We'll be down in a few" My dad responded. I nodded and closed the door with a bit of a smile on my face.

As the three of us started heading downstairs, we noticed that Junir and Janice were already down there watching TV with Baloo and Seth. All four of them seemed to have a concerned look on their faces though.

"What's up?" I asked, as the three of us got to the bottom of the stairway and looked at the TV. A commercial was playing, but I then heard Janice speak up a bit.

"Mike...from what I heard, it was two bears that attacked you and Tony last week...right?"

"Ummmmm....yeeeeeeah.....whhhy?" I slurred.

"Well...from what we all just saw, the police have been on the lookout non stop over the last couple of days....since I think..... those two bears apparently broke out of prison..."

My eyes widened with horror, as well as Sull and Ord's eyes. "Holy.....shit..." I said softly, not believing what I was hearing.

"I think it's best if all of us stay away from the city for now then..." Ord replied.

"Yeah...but what if I need to go to the Daily News headquarters?? They can call me and want me there ANY TIME THEY WANT TO TALK TO ME." I replied back sort of viciously, with ord putting his hands in front of him as if he was trying to back off.

"Easy there mike....if you need to still head in we can all go in with ya, and I mean, that area is pretty safe anyway, right guys?" Ord asked.

Everyone else nodded, though I had my head down at this point. "....ok...I guess, at least they don't know your address....you guys have been such great friends..." I replied shaking a little, and I immediately threw myself into Ord, giving him a hug. Ord was a bit surprised, but wrapped himself around me not long after, with Sull coming over to comfort us as well. It melted away the tension that was building up in my thoughts, knowing that people were there to help me. "That's such a sweet moment..." the gorilla said from the couch. "Most definitely" Janice replied, with Baloo nodding as well.

****** "So....what do you think...should we even try to convince him anymore?" Ralph asked.

"He's our son....but he's 22 now. He's old enough to make his own decisions....even if it means being with someone...of the same gender...but he seems happy!" Nancy replied.

"I guess you're right...but that was a bit....awkward to hear everything in the other room there..."

"Even if it is, these guys really care for him, and Tony even saved him. Mike really seems to feel the same way, so if it makes him happy, then I'm happy as well. And you should be too!"

"Ok I guess.... let's head downstairs, I think I hear everyone talking down there about something" Ralph responded, with my Mom turning off the TV and the two of them heading for the door.*****

"We'll make sure those assholes don't touch you guys" Sull said right to my face as he put his hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks big guy....let's not tell my parents about this, otherwise they might freak out, but I have a feeling they'll find out sooner or later..." I replied rather quietly. Everyone agreed with me as I heard footsteps near the stairway.

"What's going on here?" My dad asked, wondering why we were all talking rather loudly as my Mom followed him downstairs.

"Uhhhh...we were rehearsing for Tony's big surprise later on" I murmured back, with my dad looking a bit puzzled. "Since when have you needed to "Practice" a surprise birthday for someone? Hah." My dad exclaimed.

"It's whatever, let's just make sure everything is ready here" I shrugged, as we all started to get everything prepared. Everyone started to get the items ready for the big surprise, putting up giant signs on the walls saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY", as well as putting out the cake and other party goods. My present was still in the closet, and I was unbelievably eager to take it out when the big Tiger arrived.

It was now 2:20. P.M. All of us were gathered around the living room area, watching TV and also talking, except for my brother who was STILL downstairs playing some Sega Saturn.

"So....is he calling you mike?" Baloo asked me, with everyone turning their heads to my face.

"Yeah...just wait....he'll....*EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD.....*

"Oh shit!!!" I bursted out, quickly pulling my phone out of my pocket and running upstairs again to make sure that no other voices were heard in the background. I pushed the talk button, and then put the phone up to my ear.

".....Hello?"

"Hey hun! I left a little while ago, I should be over at the house in about 15 minutes!" Tony said on the phone.

"Great then! Can't wait to see you again hun" I replied.

"Yeah, it already feels like it's been more like a month compared to a couple of days haha!"

"Yeah it has, hope to see you soon, I'll be waiting outside!" I exclaimed, as the two of us said goodbye to each other and hung up. I immediately went back downstairs and explained to everyone what I would be doing.

"Ok guys, I'ma go play some basketball outside so that I can also greet Tony when he arrives. Someone keep a watchout for when everything happens, that way you KNOW when to get ready.

"Alrighty!" "Yep!" "Sounds good!" "No prob!" Everyone said back to me.

I quickly ran outside, grabbed the basketball on the grass that was leading to the backyard, and started shooting some baskets. I looked over to the living room window that was near the front door to notice that Sull's furry head was poking out very sneakfully, with me giving him a thumbs up as I shot some more baskets.

10 minutes passed, and I was now getting sweaty while shooting at the hoop. I was actually sinking in shots pretty well, missing only a few of them here and there, but also drilling the long ball several times. "Damn I should've gotten into College B-ball" I said to myself with a smirk, before I heard a vehicle not far from the house. It only took a few seconds for me to notice a Chevy Impala pull right into the driveway, which made me smile very widely when I saw who was inside the car.

"MIKE!!!"

"Hey tony!" I responded as Tony quickly got out of his car. We ran into each others arms, hugging each other like it was the most natural thing in the world. "I missed you babe" Tony exclaimed, wearing his Tigers shirt as well as a Tigers hat, and some black sunglasses that matched his shorts. "I missed you too hun" I replied, and we both kissed afterwards.

"HE'S HERE GUYS!!! HIDE!!!!" Sull softly shouted, as Seth turned off the TV and everyone ran around the lower floor trying to find a place to pop out of, even though there weren't many. My brother was also now finally upstairs and hid behind the couch along with my parents.

"So, where's James and Ord? Oh yeah, and where's Gant and Kum?" Tony asked me as we started to walk near the front door. "Oh, I think they're inside, I'll let you greet them yourself." I replied with a wide grin, almost losing control of myself at that exact moment. "Oh...ok then..." Tony mumbled back with a bit of a confused look.

"Uhhh....hello?" Tony asked as he started to open the door slowly.

"SURPRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Everyone shouted as loud as they could, with poppers flying off everywhere.

"................................."

"................................".

"................................."

*CLICK* "Got one!" My mom exclaimed as she took a picture of Tony's reaction. His jaw was dropped unbelievably low, and it remained that way for a good few minutes while everything was starting to sink in.

"................................"

".................................."

".............................................."

"...................................................OH...MY....GOD..."

"I guess it's safe to say you're "surprised" there, hey big guy?" I sarcastically replied, bumping Tony's arm with my elbow.

"You..guys...did this...for me???" Tony slurred very slowly, still with his mouth open as he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"That's right big guy, Ord, mike and myself all organized this whole thing." Sull replied.

"......you guys...I......... love you..." Tony replied with a very innocent look, as he turned to me and lifted me off the ground, giving me a giant hug. It didn't take long for him to do the exact same thing to Ord and Sull after we were done hugging each other. It also didn't take very long for Tony to notice his friends that were there.

"Holy shit, you guys came here just for my birthday?!" Tony asked as he approached Baloo, Seth, Junir and Janice. With the main guy now at his birthday get-together, things started to unfold themselves as we started to have a cookout for the party. I just kept getting more and more anxious as each minute passed though, looking over to the closet.

Tony started to catch up with his friends as it was now 3 P.M. My dad and Sull were cooking all the food while Tony was talking to everyone almost at the same time. I was getting pretty hungry though, so I walked over to the deck outside of the kitchen to where the Barbeque was smoking.

"Hey, you flip a pretty good burger!" Sull exclaimed to my dad, as the two helped each other with all the food on the grill. "You're pretty good yourself there!" My dad responded back. The two high fived each other with their spatulas they had in their hands and proceeded to put more food on the GIANT grill outside the kitchen. "Oh hey mike, here, take this inside" My dad said to me, handing me a plate of burgers, hot dogs, and steak tips to put on the kitchen table.

"I'm getting kinda bored mike, do you think I could go on that trampoline outside?" My brother asked as he walked over to me in the kitchen. I was eating a Cheeseburger that I took from a HUGE platter of food that Sull and my dad cooked together for the first batch of stuff for everyone to dig into.

"Uhmmmngghhhgfff....suraaa!!!!!" I mumbled VERY badly while having the food in my mouth. "Ok then......" my brother responded, looking at me weirdly and walking outside to the trampoline area."There we go" I said to myself, finally finishing my burger and walking outside too. "Hey sull, my brother and I are gonna go on the trampoline" I said, though James was paying more attention to his job of cooking up the food. "Go ahead hun" he replied without even turning around to look at me, and I just walked over to the giant area where the trampoline was at.

******"Mind if I ask you something James?" Ralph asked after Sull said I could use the trampoline.

"Yeah Ralph?" Sull responded, as he put some more steak tips onto a plate next to the grill.

"Well....Mike and Tony seem to be together, but are you....and Mike having a secret affair??"

"Haha. The four of us treat each other as family, and Mike and Tony are meant for each other. We're there to support the two of them 100%, and Tony is well aware of everything" Sull replied with a smile.

"Oh ok. Sounds good then!" Ralph exclaimed as he kept flipping burgers on the grill next to the blue guy.

"I guess I'm happy for them then...." Ralph thought to himself, shaking his head but then letting out a small grin. ******

"When was the....last time we did this? Haha!!" My brother laughed as the two of us started jumping on the trampoline.

"Heh, it's been at least a few years, remember when we wrestled with those stuffed animals?" I replied.

"Yeah, and we would wrestle for my WWE championship belt? Wanna pretend to do that now?"

"Hell yeah! Let's just be careful here....." I softly said back, not wanting to do something stupid in front of everyone over at the kitchen and back deck area.

"POWERBOMB!" I shouted as I threw my brother down onto the trampoline mat, with him laughing the whole time. He immediately got back up and locked me into a chokeslam, and I jumped up assisting him performing it since I weighed much more than him. I failed to notice that someone was walking towards our area after my brother performed the chokeslam on me. "Hey, you two wrasslin?" Junir asked as he came over to the trampoline." "Yeah, we used to pretend to fight for Will's WWE title a few years back."

"Well hell, let an ACTUAL wrestler show you how it's done!" Junir exclaimed as he took his shoes off, and climbed onto the trampoline, wearing his Puma white t-shirt and some plaid shorts with white socks on too. "You used to wrestle?!" My brother asked very curiously. "Used to? I still do! Only locally though but I've been contacted by Ohio Valley Wrestling before" Junir said back to my brother as the three of us started playfully wrestling and jumping on the trampoline. It was no wonder that the lion was so well built, since I now knew what he did for a living.

After a shitload of wrestling moves, including Junir performing many on the two of us flawlessly with the amount of strength he had, we all got back up and finished our match.

"SWEET CHIN MUSIC!!!" I shouted as I jumped up and nearly threw my foot into my brother's face, as he fell down and I pinned him. "1....2...3!"

"I'M THE CHAMP!" I yelled, with my brother still laying on the ground sarcastically and Junir raising my hand. He looked so attractive, especially being right there next to me. "That was fun, let's do flips now" my brother exclaimed, as we all spent another half hour flipping non-stop on the trampoline.

I lost track of time as I flipped for probably the 30th time, when I overheard my mom yelling from the Kitchen. "HEY GUYS, COME IN FOR CAKE AND ICE CREAM! AND TONY'S GOING TO OPEN HIS PRESENTS SOON!"

"....oh shit..." I thought as I immediately stopped jumping and got out of the trampoline. I put on my shoes and ran inside, though my brother and Junir looked on somewhat surprised that I ran in as fast as I did.

".....yeah I just hope that it goes well" Tony said to Seth, Baloo, and Janice while holding a drink cup. "Oh hey mike!" Tony smiled as I walked over to the four that were standing in the living room. "So....you going to open your gifts?" I asked as the four seemed to stop talking at that one moment. "Let's have some cake and ice cream first, it looks GRRRRRRRREEAATTT!!" He replied. The four of us walked over to the kitchen laughing and grabbed some plates to eat dessert.

After nearly eating a whole cake between the twelve of us as well as emptying out a couple of cartons of ice cream, Tony walked over to the kitchen counter and said "Well...I guess I should open those now haha" as he pointed to all the cards and gifts on there. "Yeah I guess it's time for the gifts heh" Sull replied, as all of us walked over to the living room area bringing each gift over to the couch.

The 12 of us were now crowded all around Tony, with the Tiger being the center seat on the couch as he started to open his gifts. Sull looked at me while Tony was sitting down and gave me a wink, knowing that he was going to wait for my special moment.

"Oh SWEET!" Tony exclaimed as he opened up a big box to see a bunch of computer accessories, including a cooling pad, a 500 GB pocket external hard drive, and an HD webcam. "Now we can chat anywhere big guy" Baloo said, since the gift was from both Seth and himself. "Thanks you two, come over here" Tony said, as the three gave each other a GIANT group hug.

*CLICK*

"These are going to be some good photos!" My dad said as he snapped a picture with his digital camera near the couch of the three.

Tony eventually started opening other people's gifts afterwards. He received a REALLY nice leather jacket from Junir, a special group photo of Tony with all his colleagues in front of the Kellogg's headquarters from Janice, and the $50 gift card from my family. Each person that gave their gift was returned with a hug from the big Tiger, including him hugging each member of my family. I grabbed my dad's camera and made sure I snapped a photo of Tony hugging everyone he gave thanks to.

Right as Tony was done thanking my family for their gift, I overheard a loud voice. "HEY TON, here ya go" Gantu then exclaimed as he grabbed the small box that weighed a good 15+ pounds. "Hot damn this is heavy!" Tony said back as he started to slowly open it. It was a normal brown box that Tony ended up unwrapping, though Gantu immediately said right after "Open it! I know you'll like it haha!"

"HAHAHAHA!!!"

Tony burst out as he opened the box to notice the Tiger striped bowling ball. "I LOVE IT guys, now I have a reason to go bowling again!" He exclaimed, as he then hugged Gantu and Kum. "You should see mike here though Ton, he's UNBELIEVABLE" Gantu responded, pointing right at me. I looked down and blushed a bit, but I quickly replied "Yeah.....I'm good, but I still haven't gotten that damn 300 game heh."

"Thanks again you guys, we're definitely all going out together as a group sometime to have a fun night out. Every one of you guys are welcome to come too!" Tony said, looking at everyone around the whole room very happily. Everyone pretty much agreed and nodded as well. Before long though, Sull was now heading over to the front door.

"Hey guys, it's now our turn. I know you don't have one of these Tony, so I made sure I got one for ya big guy" Sull exclaimed as he quickly grabbed his keys and ran outside to his car. Tony seemed a bit confused while we all looked outside as Sull was opening the trunk of his car to unveil a HUGE wrapped up box. The box itself was probably as tall as I was, and was at least a good few feet wide. I didn't even know what it was as Sull started to carry it inside.

".....James...Ord....seriously...you didn't have to!" Tony exclaimed, almost feeling bad that he was being given all these gifts from everyone. "Stop it Ton, it was NOTHING, now go ahead and open it!" Ord replied sort of sarcastically. Tony seemed like he hesitated a bit, though he eventually nodded and started unwrapping the box.

".......REALLY GUYS?!" Tony's jaw dropped again as he un-wrapped a brand new outdoor basketball hoop that had the NBA logo on the backboard in the picture. "Yep, now you don't have an excuse to say you don't play well in B-ball haha!" Sull replied. Ord was about to talk right after Sull, but he couldn't as Tony threw himself into the two as they were standing right above the couch. "Awww....." I softly said, snapping another picture with my Dad's camera. I was also getting more nervous than ever now, ESPECIALLY when I heard Sull finally talking again.

"Oh.... but one..... other person has a gift for ya Tony..." Sull barely mustered as Tony finally broke his tight hug on the two. Tony was almost not listening, but Ord then said "And we need to wrap you in this."

Ord walked over to the drawer below the living room TV, and pulled out a blue rag. "What's going on? Tony mentioned as Sull sat Tony back down on the couch, while Ord covered his eyes with the rag. Everyone nodded at me to grab the gift, and my heart was now sinking inside my body. I walked over to the closet and slowly opened the door, pulling out the team signed framed jersey and the autographed ball in the case. As I slowly grabbed each item, Sull started talking again.

"Hey Tony, I know you think all of these gifts are great and such, but they all are NOTHING compared to what.....our friend.....Mike....got for you..."

"What?!" Tony replied acting very surprised. I put the ball on the couch next to Tony, and took the framed jersey and held it right in front of the big tiger. "Tony...I know you love the Detroit Tigers, so I got lucky enough to get you this...." Just then, Ord unwrapped the rag off of Tony's face, and his eyes slowly opened.

*O_O *

".........."

"...................."

"................................"

"............................................."

"...................................................."

".........................................................."

It sounded like a thousand cameras were going off at once with Tony's expression as I held the framed autographed jersey of the Tigers in front of the big cat. Tony was still not saying anything, though I then slowly went up to him and preceded to hand him the framed jersey. "Here....I also got you this......" I then said as I grabbed the baseball in the case next to him on the couch. Tony almost didn't even grab the frame as I handed it to him, as the frame just stood there on his knees right in front of his face. As I grabbed the ball and showed it to him, I noticed Tony's face was starting to almost choke up a bit. Junir, Janice, Baloo and Seth also couldn't believe what I gave to Tony, since I hadn't shown them what I had gotten for him in the first place.

It took a good couple of minutes, but everything finally sunk into Tony while people kept smiling all around him, taking pictures with their phones and their cameras. I looked at Tony's face as it slowly choked up little by little, and eventually I saw an actual tear coming out of his eye as he was now looking at both the framed jersey and the ball.

"Happy Birthday Tony" I said to him softly, and I sat down next to him on the couch as I kept watching him mesmerize the two autographed pieces I had gotten for him. "Mike.........I........*sniff* love....you....." He replied, as looked at me, and I wrapped my arms around him. He actually then slowly wrapped his arms around my head, and almost pushed me back a bit, as he quickly took my head and brought it into his, as we locked into a very sweet and meaningful kiss. I actually felt a couple of tears falling onto my face as we kissed for a good 20 seconds, while everyone's cameras were going off again. Everyone, including my parents and even my brother were smiling at the moment. Once the kiss ended, Tony wiped some of the tears off of his face and started finally talking somewhat normally again.

"How.....did....you get this mike?! *sniff*" Tony mumbled, still looking in awe at the jersey.

"Heh...let's just say it pays to work for the Daily News. At that game on Saturday, while you and the others were signing autographs, I was at the PLAYERS LOCKER ROOM...just doing my job I guess hehe" I replied.

"Yeah, we were all in on it you know Ton, I sorta distracted ya and helped Mike get that for ya, we didn't want you to ruin the whole surprise" Sull said back, giving me a wink.

"That's the most thoughtful gift you've ever given anyone mike, I wonder why WE don't get stuff like that hahahaha!" My mom exclaimed as we all burst out into laughter. "Stop it mom, I'll come up with something" I smirked back, while Tony kept on looking at everything.

"I know exactly where to put this" Tony said as he gently took the frame and put it against the wall. "Come over here mike" Tony exclaimed as I got off the couch, with the big Tiger opening his arms again. I walked over and hugged him again for a good minute.

"I want to get everyone in a big photo here" Tony mentioned as we continued hugging. Everyone around the living room nodded, and walked over near the couch area to have a group photo taken. My dad was kind enough to put his camera up on the dining room table and zoom the point and shoot inward as well as tipping the camera upward slightly to get everyone into the picture.

"Ok it's set, 10 seconds!" My dad shouted as he ran over to get in the shot. Everyone was standing next to each other, and Tony was hugging my body from behind while he towered over me waiting for the photo to be taken. My brother and Janice both kneeled on the ground and everyone else smiled.

*CLICK*

"Let me check this here" My dad said as he walked over to the dining room table to check out the picture. "PERFECT!!!" He exclaimed, showing the photo to everyone.

The picture was swarmed with everyone saying nothing but compliments about it. After that though, everyone started to sort of disperse a bit. However, Tony caught all of their attention with his voice.

"Hey you guys.....thank you....for everything, I love you all" Tony slowly spoke, still amazed at all the gifts he received. He then turned to me with everyone watching him. "....and especially you mike, I will NEVER forget this. I love you hun...." We then slowly kissed one final time, with everyone smiling again at the moment. It didn't take long before everyone started to talk to each other in general afterwards.

I walked over to the kitchen area while Tony started to talk to Seth and Junir, and went right up to Sull who was taking some stuff off the kitchen counter. "James, you're the best.....that went PERFECTLY." I said right to him as he was picking up some plates off the counter. He let out a wide grin, and as he put the plates into the sink, he then replied "That was very sweet of you to get him that Mike, Tony still seems sorta speechless over it" and then he patted my head a bit. "Yeah Mike, that really did go perfectly, you two really are perfect for each other" Ord then said as he came over from the dining room and gave me a small hug. "Thanks you guys, I'm so happy this turned out the way I wanted it to." The three of us laughed and proceeded to clean up the area and keep talking with everyone else, as well as doing some other activities.

It was now 9:30 P.M.. After playing basketball, some PS3, and even playing a small game of monopoly between some of us, the party was coming to an end. Each guest was now starting to get ready to head out for the night.

"I'll see ya guys later!" Janice exclaimed as she was the first one to leave the house. Tony gave her one final hug before she left, still being VERY thankful for his gift from her. One by one, each guest left, as Junir, Seth, and Baloo had to head back to their homes, though Tony still thanked each one for what they did. I also made sure that I exchanged instant messaging names with the three, since I wanted to still get to know them better. I also couldn't help but want to talk to Junir more, since he was such a good looking Lion. Janice didn't have instant messaging, but she told me to add her on Facebook though.

"It's getting late here, I guess we should get going?" My mom asked my dad, with my brother being right there too. "Why are you guys leaving? You can stay here again if you want to" Sull responded from the kitchen, now typing away on his laptop. "Do you want to?" My dad asked, looking back at my mom. "well....we haven't had to pay for anything....I guess we should" My mom whispered very softly into my dad's ear. "Ok then, we'll stay here again!" My dad exclaimed, as Sull smiled back and gave them a big thumbs up.

"I'm gonna head back home though, I wanna just check up on a few things back at my place" Tony decided, as he started to get his things together to head out.

"I'll head back with ya big guy" I responded.

"I still cannot say how much those two gifts mean to me mike, this has been by far the best birthday ever" Tony said as he put his hand on my shoulder, bending over and giving me a quick kiss on the lips again. "It's nothing Tony.....I'm just glad I'm with the most amazing person in the world" I responded. "Awwww...stop it" Tony said back, as he finished grabbing the rest of his stuff, though he still had to grab his gifts.

"Hey guys, I'll make sure I show you three around the city tomorrow" I exclaimed to my family as the three seemed to be getting ready to head upstairs.

...it was right after that though that I had just remembered that those thugs had broken out of prison and how they still might be after Tony and myself...

"Sounds good mike, what time do you think we should head to Tony's house?"

"Uhhhhhh......"

I REALLY hesitated right there, since I was a bit skeptical about going to the city after realizing that those guys might be after us. It WAS a safer part of the city though since it was in a wide open area, unlike the pawn shop that Tony and I were held up at since that area was VERY run down and ghetto.

"Mike?" My mom asked me as I seemed to daze off just thinking about everything at once. I quickly came back to reality though and shook my head a bit. "I guess....1 or 2 ish maybe?" I said back to the three. My mom came back downstairs and walked up to hug me. "Sounds good, you did a great thing today honey". I blushed right then and there, hugging her back. "Thanks mom, you guys should call tomorrow when you wanna head over" I replied, as my mom started heading back upstairs again. "Stay safe mike, I'll see ya tomorrow" My dad then mentioned. "Bye mike" My brother finally added. "Thanks again you guys for the gift, I'll definitely put it to good use!" Tony exclaimed to the three. "Anytime Tony, see ya later!" My mom exclaimed, and the three walked upstairs to get ready to head to bed for the night.

"Let's get going hun" Tony said to me, while Sull, Ord, Gant and Kum came over to the front door with us. "I'm still speechless at everything you guys did, I love all of ya" he then said as he hugged all four of them near us.

"Alrighty, guys, see ya soon!" Tony shouted as he finished putting all of his gifts into the trunk of his car, and the jersey plus the ball into the back seat VERY carefully. I waved to everyone as well as I grabbed all my clothes as well as my bag and threw them into the car, still acting VERY happy at how everything went for today. It wasn't long before Tony and I were off driving back to his house.

As we started heading back, I tried turning on the radio, only to have Tony turn it right off.

"Mike, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate what you did, I will definitely cherish this for the rest of my life. I love you so much hun" Tony said softly to me as he grabbed my hand. We just held each other's hands for almost the whole drive back. Time felt like it was still cause that bond between us seemed to last an eternity. I actually almost fell asleep while Tony was driving, since I still had at least a good hundred thoughts going through my head at that moment. I kept thinking about everything that had happened, from the amazing day this was, to the thugs that broke out, to my column needing to be written by this upcoming Friday. It was REALLY making my brain feel tired.

With the clock on the dashboard saying 10:12 now, Tony's car slowly pulled into his driveway in front of his giant house. "We're home hun......Mike?" I now had my eyes closed, but wasn't fully asleep as I heard Tony's voice calling me. "....oh.....sorry there....guess I've just had a long day" I replied, as Tony smiled and got out of the car. "I feel really....tired...Tony" I said, as I almost actually stumbled when I got out of the car with my bag on me. All the thoughts in my head really seemed to take its toll on me during the drive back.

Tony quickly rushed over to help me out. "Here hun, I'll help you inside" he softly said to me, as he picked me up in his arms much like Sull did two nights before, and brought me into the house. "thanks...tony...I think I'm alright again" I let out with a smile. Tony smiled back, quickly kissing me as he opened his front door and put me back onto my feet. "Home sweet home....good to know nothing burned down haha" Tony said as the both of us laughed. "It really has been a long day though hun, we should crash upstairs" the big tiger then added. I quickly nodded as I was now sort of dozing in and out while I started putting my stuff down. Tony walked back out to his car, and opened the back seat to grab the jersey and the ball. He carefully made sure that he had a firm grip on the two, as he brought both items into the house. As he was putting the rest of his belongings away, I almost couldn't even see where I needed to plug my phone into my charger in the living room, since my eyes kept closing little by little. I plugged in my phone eventually, and just left my bag that had all my stuff next to my phone, figuring that I'd just straighten it out tomorrow.

I started to walk towards the stairway at the end of the hallway, before I heard footsteps behind me. "I'm headed right where you are" Tony said in a low voice. I couldn't even muster a word back before he picked me up and carried me up the stairs. I just closed my eyes and let the Tiger do all the work. He had no problems carrying me up the stairs, with his strong arms easily being able to handle my weight.

I heard the bedroom door open as we got to the end of the hallway upstairs, and still felt Tony carrying me over to the bed. He gently laid me down onto his giant mattress, and then walked over to his drawers near the TV. I still pretty much had all my clothes on except for my shoes at that point. I opened my eyes slowly to see Tony getting undressed again, and although I was tired, my member couldn't stop itself from becoming hard as Tony was taking off his clothes.

"i.....had...a lot of....fun with Sull....and ord.....it made me miss you though......" I mumbled, not even really thinking at that moment since I was now almost asleep. "They're family to me mike, we're all together as one" Tony replied, as he took off all his clothes except his boxers and proceeded to walk over to the bed as well, eventually getting on it right next to me.

"Mike..... " Tony said to me, as I got up VERY slowly to see him right next to me, with him now under the covers with me. "I still will never forget what you did today. I love you" He said very softly, putting his hand on my face, rubbing it ever so slowly. "I..... love you too Tony, I'm so....... glad you liked that gift.... " I mustered, still dozing in and out of a sleeping state. Tony then slowly leaned his head into mine, kissing me again for a good amount of time. After that kiss, I laid my head against his body, as his hand kept stroking my face while we both started to finally fall asleep for the night.

Little did I know though what was about to unfold over the next few days......
