A man moves into a childhood vacation home, believing his imaginary friend from the surrounded forests within was just imaginary.


I haven't written a story in double forever. I've got some time this morning, and this idea as well as about a dozen others have been kicking around in my head but I never get to writing any of it. I'm not going to ramble on forever, so here we go.

**************************************************************************************

Slowly the old SUV came to a halt in the gravel driveway of a moderately run down cabin sitting on a lake. Out stepped a man appearing to be in his twenties with the car clearly loaded to capacity and possibly beyond. Kai was the man's name, brown hair, medium height, average build, and he was moving into this old run down family cabin. The cabin had been in the family for years in a rural area of Washington State, his uncle built and owned it up until his recent passing. Knowing the love Kai had for the place as a child, he had given it to him before he passed away. Kai had always wanted to get out of the city, and now he finally had his chance. Packing everything he owned and getting rid of what was not needed he headed North from California and was finally here. Having not been here since he was 8 years old the place was quite a site, a nostalgic homecoming that he had almost forgotten by him, but it seemed others had forgotten about the place as well. The cabin needed a bit of work, nothing too crazy but enough to keep him busy, still he had been told it was livable and he could start his stay immediately.

He began unpacking his items from the vehicle into the cabin, reminiscing of old childhood days, playing on the lake, getting lost for hours in the endless forests, ah yes, the forests. He had some interesting memories in the forest, one in particular of an imaginary friend who began to appear in his early days here. He's not sure where it all started, or where he even learned of the friend, he just remembered the name.

"Taigi...." Kai said to himself as he stood on the deck thinking about his past here. There was something interesting about the memories, something strangely real about his long lost imaginary friend. It was such an early time in his life it was hard to remember anything solid. Quickly he shrugged away the thoughts and began to unlock the cabin door to step inside. Upon entering Kai began to clean things up, uncover some of the furniture left by his uncle and make sure the power still worked. Luckily he had heat, power, everything seemed fine besides a little dust here and there, so he began the process of unloading box after box from the SUV.

Hours later and long after the sun had set the cabin had finally started to look habitable again, almost like in his memories as a child, yet with a little bit of his more modern technological flare. Nothing much, but as a writer Kai needed his computer and a few other things here and there to keep him from going crazy. One of the reasons Kai was so keen on moving out to the country was to get some real work done. No distractions, just working on some of his writing pieces and being able to relax in a quiet enviroment, unlike the city. Kai was just about done putting the finishing touches on the place as he looked at his clock.

"Eleven Thirty.... Damn I guess it's about time to get to sleep" Kai said as he looked around at the interior of the cabin. It was a small building, but large enough for him. The main floor had a living space, a kitchen divided by a counter, and a bathroom and laundry room across from that down the hall. Above all this was an open air loft where the bedroom rested. After setting up his bed and getting ready to sleep, he calmly slipped into the sheets and into a deep slumber, satisfied with his most recent move.

For the next few weeks Kai had adjusted to living in his new home by the lake. Getting used to having to drive 15 minutes for a carton of milk, or having to deal with some of the wildlife that ventured too close to his trashcans. He was getting plenty of work done and his clients were happy for the quick return on the commissions and other jobs he was doing. For the most part he was loving this place but there was one problem, he was beginning to feel lonely. He was never much of a people person, his circle of friends was typically a close tight knit crew. He wasn't one that seeked socializing constantly, but enjoyed it every once in a while, and chatting with them online was not cutting it. Out of frustration and being overloaded from some of his work Kai finally decided to get out and explore some of the forests alone.

From the cabin he was practically surrounded by wildlife, one small route led the driveway to the main road, and the rest of the land was his for a few acres before it turned into national park territory. There was literally nobody around but him, it was true freedom. He began walking, not caring what direction, armed with nothing but the clothes he wore. He felt like a kid again, exploring the vast forest, unknown around every corner. Hours and hours had passed and he finally came upon a small clearly, a pond in the center. A moment of de ja vu hit as he felt he had seen this place before, probably as a child, but he could not pinpoint what moment in time he had been here or what was special about it. Startled out of his gaze he heard the faint rushing of footsteps steadily approaching, and suddenly being taken to the ground in one swift tackle.

"KAI?!?" The stranger practically screamed in a young but masculine voice. Kai was panicking and unsure of what was happening at this point, trying to get whoever had him pinned off when he looked up.

"Is it really you Kai? How long has it been? it feels like close to twenty cycles!" A wolfish face said as Kai looked up at his attacker.

"AAAHHH WHAT THE FUCK GET OFF ME WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!?" Kai panicked unsure of what he was looking at and who his attacker was.

"Kai! Kai please calm down it's me! Taigi!" Taigi said as he looked down at Kai. Kai seemed to calm down for a moment or two listening to what the creature had to say, and continued to scream.

"WHAT? Nonono you're not real, you were an imaginary friend I had when I was a child! What is this seriously? Who the fuck is in the costume?!" Kai was beginning to feel worried for his sanity and whatever this thing was holding him down. It was beginning to seem very real to him.

"Not real? Pfff, who told you that? If I were not real would I be able to do this?" Taigi said as he let out a long, slow sloppy lick across Kai's face from chin to hairline. It was all coming back to Kai so fast. His imaginary friend was Taigi, a Wolf looking being that stood on two legs, he always met him by the pond in the forest when he visited the cabin in the summers.

"Bu..but... No way, you were imaginary, my parents always said you were fake, I believed them, every kid goes through these phases, there's no way you can be real..." Kai studdered, unsure of himself.

"Kai, I'm kind of hurt you say that" Taigi said in a deep tone with a somewhat threatening look "I'm just as real as you, no matter what your parents say." He said with a grin. Kai stared into the wolf's eyes still as a rush of memories seemed to flow back. Unsure of what to think, and feeling almost threatened by the hunk of wolf on top of him. He finally was able to calm down enough to take in the details of his friendly attacker. Taigi was a greyish wolf with white belly fur, and slight gold markings on his face and parts of his body, much like a wolf in the wild, except bipedal, and unknown at the time but standing about a foot taller than Kai.

"Taigi.... Seriously? Is that you?" Kai questioned unsure of himself at this point.

"Really Kai, it's me" Taigi said as he stepped off of Kai. Kai backed away slowly on the ground, back against a stone wall. Taigi was noticeably hurt by this.

"I'm sorry, this is just so strange to me I don't mean to offend you." Kai apologized after seeing he had possibly hurt the wolf.

"It's fine, I guess I'm not exactly a usual site for humans." Taigi responded happily wagging his tail. Kai slowly stood up and approached the wolf, still in shock and wondering if his mind was playing tricks on him. He reached out and slowly touched the wolf's peck, at which point the wolf lunged forward trapping Kai in a hug.

"I missed you buddy, really, it's been so many years and nobody really comes by here to keep me company." Taigi said muffled under the tight hug against Kai's body. Kai returned the hug realizing how awkward this was as the wolf was completely naked, it never seeming to bother him as a child but now he felt slightly uncomfortable.

"I.... Missed you too Taigi. While growing up I wished you were there a few times in my life, I always figured you were just a part of my imagination though." He said reluctantly.

"I feel like there is so much to catch up on, lets go for a walk around the forest for old time's sake." Taigi said as he let Kai out of the embrace and guided him to a trail. Over the next few hours Kai and Taigi became close friends once again and explained parts of their lives that had previously gone unanswered. While Kai had known Taigi as a child, he had never really questioned what, or who he was back then. Now he had figured out Taigi was a kind of forest spirit, a guardian of this domain, an eternal power that had always been and always will be. Kai was somewhat in awe at the presence of this creature, especially since it seemed interested in talking to him of all people. Kai also revealed a bit of himself to the wolf, how things had been growing up and a bit of his past, his current career as a writer and how he ended up here once more.

"I'm sorry to hear of your uncle." Taigi said slightly saddened.

"Ah it's not a big deal, it happens at some point with everyone, he was getting old." Kai responded. They were beginning to come upon familiar territory near the cabin when Taigi brought up another question.

"Have you secured a mate for yourself whilst living your life?"

"Aawww, well, you know. They come and go, nothing really that has stood out. A few girlfriends here and there but it's hard finding someone that I think is a perfect match for me. I haven't even found the right woman to make lo....." Kai paused as he realized what he was about to say. "Love to, I'm still a virgin really." He continued. Strange how he tends to keep these things to himself, yet just now he realized he has spilled almost anything personal about his life in the current moment to the wolf in front of him.

"Oh don't worry about that Kai! There are plenty of women in the area around here!" Taigi exclaimed slapping Kai on the back as he realized he seemed to get a little down as he paused between sentences. Taigi continued.

"To tell you the truth, it's strange to me as well. I find myself so incredibly lonely sometimes with nobody to talk to around here, every once in a while I see people come into this territory and I feel as though I could open up to them, but I fear they will be frightened by me, run away scared or try and harm me in some way. I never quite felt a connection as I did with you as a cub, you were just so open to anything, it was like there were no rules set in your mind yet. Nobody told you this should be real and that shouldn't you were just out in the world exploring it on your own and making up your own mind about things. I really miss seeing that in you humans sometimes." Taigi continued.

"I guess what I'm getting at is, I hope now, even after you have matured so much from the cub you were, that you could still accept my friendship. That we could still have adventures and maybe at least come visit me every once in a while." Taigi said, visibly saddened as he realized how alone he must have sounded.

"Oh Taigi don't even worry about it! Now that I've come to my senses, now that we've spent the last few hours talking to eachother and I've got a better understanding, I'm not going anywhere! You were one of the biggest influences of my life and I'm sad that I almost forgot about you!" Kai said, as he threw his arm around Taigi's shoulder.

"To be honest there were times I felt I really needed you growing up, but the rules of society kept telling me there's no way you could be real, so I just accepted it, now I'm finding just how foolish I was. I feel bad, I mean really, about forgetting about you, about letting people convince me you were nothing but a dream. I'm sorry Taigi." Kai apologized to the wolf as they came upon the cabin.

"Well, this is the cabin, I don't think you've ever been inside have you? Would you like to come in?" Kai asked.

"You're right, I never have been inside your parents were always around, but I would love to finally see it." Taigi responded, wagging his tail happily. Both Kai and Taigi came up to the front door as Kai unlocked the cabin door and allowed Taigi to enter first. Taigi was amazed at the interior of the cabin, never seeing so many man made objects at once, both confused and fascinated at some of the most rudimentary items such as a desk, or a lamp, nevermind the objects like the television or computer.

"Go ahead and take a seat on the couch, I'll go get us some drinks." Kai said as he motioned the wolf towards the sofa. Taigi was uncertain about it at first, prodding the sofa to find it was soft, and slowly he began to sink back into the comfortable chair. Soon after Kai returned holding two chilled cans of beer, tossing one to the confused Taigi.

"Here, slip your finger, or I guess your claw under the tab here, and pull up until it opens." Kai said as there was an audible crack when he opened the beer. Taigi tried it slowly, cautiously as the beer cracked opened and he jumped. At first he just smelled the fizzy drink, strong but enjoyable, soon he lapped at the top just to get a quick taste of the stuff. It was very strong to him, but at the same time he enjoyed it. Kai turned his attention to the television after watching the wolf test his beer, unknown to Kai the wolf soon threw his head back and gulped down the heavy stream of beer that flowed out of the can. With an audible and clearly empty clang Taigi set the can on the coffee table and let out a low long belch.

"Jeez haha, you're supposed to drink it slow, enjoy it!" Kai said.

"No worries, I'll get you another one! Stay here." As Kai left and soon returned with a few more beers, expecting they would need more than one each after that display. More confidently Taigi cracked open the can and began slowly drinking it like a normal person, as he focused his attention on the moving pictures on the television. Unsure of what he was watching or the strange clouded feeling coming over his mind, he looked over to Kai to ask.

"Have you poisoned me?"

"OH, no, beer has alcohol, I probably should have explained it to you. Alcohol lets you sort of loosen up, it's an enjoyable feeling, keeps you calm and lets you think slowly. The more you think the more strong the feeling becomes usually, just take it easy drinking this beer and you'll be fine." Kai explained, and Taigi seemed to trust him. The two sat on the sofa watching a movie, mostly just enjoying the company of a long lost friend. Hours had past, and so had a few more beers, as they both were finishing watching TV and Kai began to stand up, collecting some of the cans on the table. Taigi was having a battle with himself in his mind, he was unsure of what he was doing here, as a guardian of the forest, interacting with a human, letting him poison him, yet he loved Kai. Loved? Had he said that? Yes he did, he really did see it now, he loved Kai and Kai probably loved him back just as much. But how could he be sure? What if he didn't? So many things racing through the wolf's mind he hardly realized when Kai stood up with a handful of cans Taigi was silently following him, stumbling a bit, realizing it was harder to walk than it should have been. Kai dumped the cans in the garbage bin only to turn around and be met face to face with the wolf.

"Taigi?" Kai asked, but he didn't get a response. Instead Taigi advanced slowly, wrapping his muscular arms around the body of Kai, looking him right in the eye. Suddenly Taigi moved forward, kissing Kai on the lips and soon after pushed his tongue past Kai's lips to explore his soon to be lover's mouth. Kai was at a loss, unsure of what to think of all this, but for the time being allowed it to happen. Slowly he moved back, Taigi following him with lips planted on his as he became pinned against the wall. Claws raked Kai's back as Taigi continued to explore his mouth with his alien tongue. Kai was beginning to worry as Taigi pulled back from the kiss, only to lift his shirt over his head only to continue licking and kissing along Kai's chest and neck. Kai enjoyed the feeling, but he was at a crossroads. Never had he even considered homosexuality, yet here in this moment, it felt so right with his long lost friend.

"I want you to be my mate, at least just for the night Kai, please." Taigi said, it seemed more as a demand than asking for permission. Kai was becoming more and more nervous as he felt a weight being lifted off his feet, as the wolf slowly brought his head down to the floor atop a bear skinned rug. Once on the floor, pinned underneath the strong muscular body of Taigi, he continued to kiss and lick parts of Kai's chest in a drunken haze.

"I don't know if this is right Taigi, I don't know if I can do this." Kai pleaded with Taigi, but he seemed to be ignoring him as he weakly tried to push the wolf off of him. He was pinned and there was no chance of getting away unless the wolf allowed him to. At this moment he glanced down at the wolf's crotch to see a sight that almost horrified him, but also left him curious. A long 9 inch rod of flesh potruding from Taigi's sheath, tapered at the tip and accompanied with a bulbous knot at the base of the cock. There was no way Taigi was planning sex, Kai thought as he seemed somewhat panicked at the sight of the luscious cock. As if on queue, Taigi reached down to Kai's waistline and slowly began undoing his pants, after a painfully long time finally succeeding in releasing. Kai had not realized it, but too had grown hard from the excitement, unsure what to think about the situation, he looked up at the wolf's face to be met with a sultry grin as their eyes met.

"I guess I'm not the only one excited am I?" Taiji said as he slowly rubbed his paw against Kai's hardened cock.

"AH!" Kai shouted as he felt the gentle touch of the wolf on his cock, slowly he began to panic. Trying harder to get out from under the wolf above him.

"Please Taigi! We shouldn't! Let's not do this now!" He was quietly interupted.

"SSShhh don't worry Kai, I've got you, you will enjoy this very much! Just trust me." Taigi said in a very calming tone as he grabbed both of Kai's wrists in his left paw and held them over Kai's head to stop the struggling. Soon after Taigi leaned forward to allow both their cocks to come in contact with eachother, as Taigi slowly reached down to paw off both their cocks simultaneously, even if Kai's cock was dwarfed by Taigi's monster of a wolf cock.

"AAAHhhahhh.." Kai screamed out as the pleasure was unbearable on his cock, having been so sensitive to Taigi's rough yet soft pawpads. The slickness of Taigi's added pre enhanced the experience, looking into eachother's eyes as Kai was having second thoughts about resisting the wolf's advances. Kai was beginning to see a sense of caring in Taigi's eyes, he was beginning to accept his predicament, and was definitel beginning to enjoy it. Taigi continued to pump their cocks together stroke after stroke of pure pleasure, but just as soon as he started, he slowed to a stop with both their cocks covered in Taigi's pre.

"Please, keep going." Kai said between breathes but was silenced by Taigi's response.

"No, now I want to take that tailhole of yours, just relax and this will be very enjoyable, I promise love." Taigi said as a look of worry overcame Kai's face.

"NO! There's no way you can fit Taigi! Please I've never done this before this is too much for me! Please let me go I'll do anything for you lets just not do that!" As Kai pleaded with Taigi and thrashed about, trying to get free of his lock. The more Kai trashed the easier it was for Taigi to get between his legs, as he was able to lift his legs to level Kai's ass with his cock. Taigi lowered his head down once more and silenced Kai with another long drawn out kiss, as he slowly leaned forward, to probe his cock to make contact with Kai's tight rimmed hole. A panicked but silenced moan came from Kai as he tried to protest under the wolf's lips, but his cries went unheard as he slowly felt the fleshy rod of the wolf penetrate his hole inch by inch. Taigi moved his right arm from supporting Kai's back to above his head, holding Kai's wrists down with each of his arms. Slowly inch by inch Kai felt Taigi's cock slide into his virgin depths as he was met with a burning sensation. Just as Kai was worried the pain would become unbearable, Taigi slowed to a halt, allowing Kai to adjust to his girth as Taigi pulled away from the kiss.

"Taigi, it's sooo big, please..." Kai said between pants.

"Ssshhh, quiet pup, I'm going to make you mine, don't worry, things will become very pleasureable for you shortly." Taigi said, with a hint of concern in his voice. At that moment Taigi began retreating from the pre-slickened rearend of Kai, only to slam back in slightly deeper, repeating this movement time after time again. Kai was met with a feeling unexpected soon, he began to feel the pain subsiding and the pleasure was increasing. He began to feel a slight tingle in his cock as Taigi was grinding against his prostate with his long wolf cock. As Taigi pumped in and out of his lover more and more Kai was beginning to find the pain subside completely, and become overwhelmed in pleasure. Both lovers unable to contain their pleasure they became in a trance, Taigi began licking and kissing along Kai's chest and neck once more as he savagely crammed every inch of his cock that he could into Kai's hole. Kai was unable to fathom the pleasure he was recieving, as his prostate was massaged to the point his cock began errupted spurt after spurt of semen spraying on both Taigi's and Kai's chest, and yet the wolf kept pumping in and out not even close to finished with his bitch. Kai began panting and leaning his head back unable to contain his now euphoric bliss, no longer having his arms pinned by the wolf, not that it mattered, he was not going anywhere.

"I.... Kai I think I'm going to come soon!" Taigi said between pants as it was getting harder and harder to concentrate.

"Please, take me Taigi, I am yours! I love you!" Kai said as he was coming for the fifth time from the cosntant prodding of his prostate by Taigi's cock. Without warning Taigi pulled back, and thrust deep into Kai, both eliciting drawn out cries of passion as their pleasures both peaked as Taigi's knot was slammed hard into Kai's ass. Stream after stream both errupted from Kai's cock as well as Taigi's within the tight confines of Kai's ass as Kai felt the burning hot seed flow within. The feeling was unlike anything he had ever experienced being filled to the brim with his lover, becoming one with him as jet after jet sprayed his insides. Finally the climax subsiding, Taigi collapsed atop his lover, carressing him with his arms as he motioned his muzzle towards his neck, slowly licking and nibbling softly on his ear.

"Taigi.... Thank you." Kai said, exhausted from the experience but happy with where things led.

"The pleasure is all mine friend." Taigi said to his best friend as he felt truly accepted. Kai soon could not hold back his exhaustion, and soon passed out underneath his lover. Taigi laid there upon his lover, stroking his hair and admiring his features, wondering how he could be so lucky as to have found him once more after all these years. Soon, Taigi was able to pull out of Kai, his knot no longer swelling, and was able to free himself reluctantly from the depths of his lover. He got up, bent down to pick Kai up, and carried him to the second floor of the cabin. Luckily for Taigi there was a piece of furniture similar to the couch, but larger, big enough for two, he laid Kai down on the bed and soon after joined him in a most relaxing slumber. The two lovers united forever, keeping eachother company for the rest of their lives.
