#1 of Life Goes On Sidestory: Fantasy #1 - Floating in the Sea of Love

Floating adrift I have no idea of the wonderful things coming my way.


It feels like I'm floating. Not floating through the air, but on water. I open my eyes and realize I'm floating on my back in the school swimming pool. I must have nodded off for a second, losing myself to the sound of the flowing water as my ears had been submerged. My grandparents have a pool in their backyard that I have made frequent use of in the summers and as such have aquired a love of just floating around on my back with the water blocking any noises but itself ebbing and flowing from reaching my ears. It is usually a bit more difficult to do this in a public pool what with all the other people coming in and out, splashing around and in general trying to cool off. I got lucky today because there were just a few students milling about. It is the middle of summer and I guess most people would be out at the beach, but sometimes you just don't want to have to deal with the masses of people and the sand creeping its way into your bathing suit. And thats part of the reason I like pools more. Less hassle in general. After a bit more floating I decide its probably time to get out before I nod off again. Right before I would have lifted myself up to a standing position my head collides with something solid and I make out a slight *umph* through the water flowing around me.

I quickly pull myself up to apologize to whoever I crashed into. When I turn around I am met with the sight of a very handsome husky. He has jetblack fur going from the top of his head down to his legs except for his face all the way down to his faded teal swim trunks and the insides of his ears which are a pure snowy white. He's rubbing his toned stomache where my head must collided. I blush and my ears flatten against my skull out of concern and a bit of shyness before I say, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have been so careless like that. I should have tried to be more aware of the people around me. I'm sorry." He just gives his stomache a few more rubs before he lifts his arm up to rub the back of his head and gives me the cutest reassuring smile I had ever seen and says, "Ahh no worries, it was a pretty soft blow. No real harm done. No need to fret about it." My ears lift back off my head and my blush deepens a bit at hearing his masculine yet soft voice that has a bit of a southern accent. He grins as he notices my blushing and says, "Well, if you would really like to make it up to me you can buy me a soda." I feel a bit nervous and stammer as I say, "Um, y-yeah. S-sure, no problem. I can do that." His grin widens as he says, "Great. Lets get out and head over to the machines." I blink in surprise as I had expected him to have me go alone to retrieve the soda, but I guess he probably wanted to make sure I didn't bail out on him. I shrug my shoulders as we make our way out of the pool.

He gets to the edge of the pool first and as he pulls himself out I'm able to get a good look at his physique. He looks to be about 6'2" with rippling back muscles and a great slightly muscular ass with his drenched tail hovering limply above it. When he is all the way out of the pool and standing he starts to shake his body, as all canines do when they are wet, but instead of puffing out comically like you see on T.V. his fur just kind of fluffs up a bit making it look all the more soft. I continue to take glances at him as I shake my own body a little to lessen the dampness of my fur. When he is dry enough he turns to say something to me as I am staring at his ass and big fluffy tail. He stops and looks over his shoulder at his tail then looks at me with a knowing smile on his face as he says, "Yeah, its pretty nice isn't it." I look away quickly feeling the blush come back to my face as I say, "Um, uh. I don't know what your talking about." He just grins as he continues to look at me over his shoulder. He then proceeds to start backing into me while wagging his tail at my face before saying with a sly grin, "I know you want to give it a feel. Everyone wants to give this badboy a good stroking." I do my best to hold back my own grin as I think to myself, "Thats not the only thing I'd like to feel and stroke." I give in to his tempting and give his tail a good stroke and am amazed at how soft it feels after having just been dried out.

He smiles as he says, "Nice and soft ain't it?" I nod my head and give it one more stroke before letting it go, not wanting to overdo it and have him start thinking anything more of it. He bats his tail against my face before laughing and walking over to the bleachers where everyones personal belongings had been left. I grab my wallet as he grabs his own. I turn and ask him, "Why are you getting your wallet? I thought I was paying?" He turns to me with an exaggerated questioning look on his face and says, "You thought I was serious? I was only kiddin. I just wanted a little company for a bit." My blush comes back as I chuckle nervously and stammer out, "O-oh, of course I knew that *eheh*" He doesn't buy it for an instant as he chuckles and says,"Boy, you really do blush a lot. Its kinda cute." Before the "cute" comment can fully sink in he starts jogging off to the entrance/exit where the machines are located. I stand there stunned for a second wondering, "Did he just say cute?" before shaking my head and thinking, "No way. I probably added that in my own head." I jog after him in an effort to catch up. He gets there well before me and turns to rest his shoulder against one of the machines with a grin on his face. When I reach him I take a second to catch my breath as he chuckles and says, "*hehehe*Jeez, slowpoke. Making me wait for ages." He sticks his tongue out and jokingly says, "Lets make that two sodas now." I look at him in mock agitation and say, "Bah, screw you and your sodas." He laughs heartily as he says, "*BAHAHA* I'm sure you'd like that wouldn't you?"

I ignore him as I get my money out and put it in the machine. I get my own drink before putting more money in quickly and turning to him to ask, "So, what do you want?" He shakes his head in exasperation as he says, "You realy don't have to." I just shrug my shoulders before saying, "Well, now I just want to." He shrugs his own shoulders and says, "Suit yourself. I'll take a Mountain Mist." I get him his drink and toss it to him. We both crack them open and take a long chug before letting out gasps of quenched thirst. He caps his bottle and tosses it back and forth between his hands as he asks, "So stranger. Since we have yet to introduce ourselves what may I call you by?" I cap my own bottle and just hold it as I say, "Oh, yeah. My names Joseph, but you can call me Joey." He grins as he says, "Joey. I like that. My name is Alexander, but everyone calls me Xander." I smile back at him as I say, "Xander. That's a pretty cool name to go by." He chuckles before saying, "*hehe* Yeah, it's pretty uncommon so I never get confused when people yell it across a room." We both get a chuckle out of this before he pauses and then says, "So. If I'm not being too forward I'm curious how long you've been attracted to men?"

I am stunned by his bluntness and am caught completely off guard. I recover as quickly as I can, giving him a nervous grin and letting out a weak, "Um um, what ever gave you that idea?" He puts his hands against his hips, gripping his bottle between his pointer and middle fingers, as he says, "Well, its been pretty obvious. What with you checkin me out every chance you've had." I blush yet again as I say, "No, thats not what I was doing. I was just admiring your muscles." I mentally slap myself at how bad that sounds. He just grins as he says, "Hey. It's alright. I'm actually quite flattered. I've worked hard for this body and having someone as cute as you admiring it is good by me." I shake my head making sure I heard him right and ask, "Did you just say I was cute?" He gets his own slight blush as he scratches his cheek and says, "Well, yeah. I'm actually quite fond of the male body myself. And yours is quite appealing to look at by my standards." I am at a loss from this as I think to myself, "ME! Really?! Skinny little nobody like me? I still have a little bit of fat on me from not exercising much and always sitting around playing video games! He's actually saying that I appeal to him? Again I ask. REALLY?!"

After my brief mental dilemma I ask him, "Really?!" He grins and shrugs his shoulders as he says, "Well, yes. I've known for a couple of years now. And I've always had a bit of a thing for smaller nerdier lookin guys with a little meat on their bones" My blush feels hotter than it has ever been in my life thus far as he continues by saying, "And all the blushing! That is just sooo adorable!" I just stand there rubbing my arm while looking down at the ground out of embarrassment. I then get a bit of courage as I look up and ask, "So, does that mean that you'd maybe want to go out and do something sometime? His grin widens even more as he says, "Yeah! I'd love to. Let me just get your number."

He casually starts to walk back to the bleachers as I trail behind him, still in a bit of a daze from how fast this was all happening. When he reaches his pack he bends down slowly to retrive his cell phone. As he swishes his tail about and has his legs spread a bit further than he needs to he makes me think he was doing this on purpose. I shrug my shoulders as I think, "Well, if he's not gonna be subtle at all why should I be?" taking the time out to get a truly good look at his fine rump. I'm still staring at him when he turns around with his cell phone in hand and says, "Here, this is... Oh, did you enjoy the view?" with a mischievous smirk on his face. I blush again as I nod and say matter-of-factly, "Well, yes. As a matter of fact I did." He moves his tail to flick it against my nose making it twitch before saying seductively, "I knew you would." He then shakes his head a bit getting himself back to the task at hand saying, "Well, here's my phone. What's your number?" I tell it to him and then he says, "Awesome. Now let me give you mine." I turn around to grab my own phone and unthinkingly bend down to get it. When I hear a whistle of approval behind me I jump up and turn around with another blush. Xander just stands there with a huge grin on his face as he says, "Aww, did I startle you? Sorry, I just couldn't resist. And just seeing that blush of yours come back, uhhh."

I roll my eyes as I say, "Yeah yeah. Just give me your number." He tilts his head and continues to grin as he says, "Aww, not used to someone complimenting you on your blushing? Or just not used to another guy giving you so much attention?" I reluctantly start smiling myself at his antics as I say, "Um, a little of both." He laughs as he says, "*haha*Well, if we're gonna be hanging out you better get used to it fast." ending with a wink. I just stand there smiling and blushing while typing on my phone as he tells me his number. When we are done exchanging numbers he puts his arm around me in a hug as he says, "Great, I'll call you later so we can make some plans." He then takes a look at the clock on his phone and says, "Oh, I should be getting home soon." He pulls me into another sideways hug and says, "Well, it was great meeting you. I hope to get to know you better real soon. Call you later!" He then jogs off to the exit his tail wagging happily behind him. I let out a huge sigh as I watch him leave. I scratch the back of my head as I think, "Wow! I was not expecting anything like this to happen when I woke up today!" I then glance down at my phone to look up Xander's number, to prove to myself that it wasn't all some kind of delusion. When I find his name and number I grin widely and throw my arms up while shouting in my head, "I got a guys' number!"

..........................................................................................

This scenario literally came to me in a dream last night. Them being furries was a part of the dream too I didn't add that :P. I have of course tweaked and added some things, since dreams can become so muddled shortly after you wake up, but the premise of first bumping into Xander (yes, the name came after the fact :P) at the pool and some things I am saving for the coming parts were actually conceived in my dream. I decided to make this into part of the subseries I mentioned in my main story since the dream was from a first person perspective as my fursona. I will of course still do my best to work on my main series, but if my muse calls on me to write more for this instead then I shall not disobey him :P . If you have any comments, complaints or suggestions please feel free to leave them and I will address them as best as I can.
