College is a place of many different wonders, obstacles and stories of many kinds. My story is rather interesting to say the least especially when you're a human in a 90% anthro world. See my race suddenly declined heavily over the last two generations. Due to a virus that sprang up out of nowhere and nearly made us extinct.
Strangely enough the virus had a side effect on the local wildlife. It caused them to evolve into the anthros of today. Though a hundred years ago a war had cropped up between our races. If it wasn't for a young anthro scientist developing a cure for my kind. Humans would have gone extinct, she demanded both sides to stop fighting. Due to her kindness and cure my people surrendered peacefully.
The Anthro Government allowed humans to live as they saw fit without their involvement. Since then we've lived together quite peacefully even to the point of cross breeds appearing. Most even had the ability to shift between human and anthro forms. Though those particular cross breeds were rare even in this century. Now that things have only blossomed since all these events transpired.
Even technology has seen a huge improvement and weapons no longer exist. Since they were the source of death all over the world and over the centuries. With the world finally at peace and hatred no longer lingers within the hearts of anyone. We are able to live very relaxing lives and seek things that most wouldn't dream of doing.
As for me this is where my story begins, see in this world some things have become very rare. See human females are a common sight today, while human males were rare. Especially human males that are able to conceive children, are extremely rare. Due to the virus and the cure it caused some genetic side effects in our kind. For every male human born, one in ten thousand are born fertile.
Now I come from a pretty normal family, my father and mother both are loving people. Even though they divorced after my seventh birthday but, their separation wasn't on bad terms. See they had dreams they wanted to fulfill but, by being together it couldn't bare fruit. Of course I thought their divorce was all my fault at the time. My folks did their best to reassure me that it wasn't but, I wouldn't hear it.
After a good three years they finally got through to me and made me see to reason. Now the whole time my parents tried to reason with me school was a bit rough. A lot of the kids were nice to me due to the fact my folks were important people. Though I did have a couple of bullies since, their families were in the same social class. So naturally they delighted in making me miserable.
When my folks realized this was going on the whole time they tried helping me understand. A change of schools was the best solution they could do. Luckily this new school was a lot better and I was able to unlock my potential. My teacher requested I take extra classes that would take me further. With my parents giving me the choice to take them or not, I choose to take them.
Over the next twelve years not much went on except for the fact I met my girlfriend. A sweet lioness by the name of Dania, we've been seeing each since our senior year of high school. Now into our second year of college we've yet to do anything more than snuggle in bed. She doesn't feel the time is right to take our long relationship to the next step. Naturally I don't mind the wait her happiness means more to me.
The last six months have been tricky since we finally agreed to move in together. Its been a little rough on us but, we've been taking things in stride. For a the first couple weeks we slept in separate rooms until we got used to the place. On the first night we slept together in our new place I held her close to me. As I kissed along her neck causing her to purr softly, while my hand rubbed her side.
She leaned into my touch, purring even louder telling me she enjoyed every little bit. Moving my hand down across she her soft belly fur avoiding going to far south or north. Finding that happy medium as not to ruin the romantic moment. Pulling my head away from her neck, nuzzling my cheek against hers before speaking.
"Babe, mind if I ask you a question?" I whispered soothingly into her ear. "Sure, love what's wrong?" She replied glancing back at me. "I hate ruining the mood but, I need to know this. Do you think you and I will ever take that intimate step?" I asked looking into her eyes concerned. She laid there for a moment before rolling over to face me in bed.
"I still don't feel ready and I know you've been very patient with me. The timing just isn't perfect for me and I don't want to string you along either. Could you please bare with me a bit longer?" She said with soft pleading tone. "Alright, Dania I'm sorry I asked." I replied as she cuddled under my chin. I cared deeply for her and I've saved myself for her also, yet she still isn't ready.
No sense arguing with her since she was a woman worth waiting for in the end. The following three weeks and things hadn't really changed between us. I was starting to think she doesn't want to be intimate with me or any man. Until the day I or another man comes along and decides to marry her. I'm gonna to ask again over this weekend and if I get the same response.
It's time for us to go our separate ways as boyfriend and girlfriend but, hopefully remain friends. I really don't want to do this but, I'm starting to feel unhappy. Sure enough as we call it a night late Tuesday morning, getting comfy huddled close together. Lifting her chin so she could look into my eyes. Kissing her lips before asking her once more, hoping for a different answer.
The look in her eyes told me more than I needed to hear, she still wasn't ready. "Dania, do you even care about my happiness?" I asked curiously. "Of course I do it's just I'm not ready to be intimate." She replied. "I'm sorry you feel that way Dania, I do care about you. Seeing you happy means the world to me. I guess things are different where my feelings are concerned." I remarked feeling hurt. "That's not true, Nate I enjoy making you happy." She stated with surprise.
"Let me ask you this have I ever asked too much of you?" I asked. "No, you've been patient with me since the day we met." She pointed out. "Dania, I've been saving myself for you for going on four years, knowing you're special." I remarked calmly. "I know, Nate I know and I'm very grateful for that. So why after all this time you want to have sex with me?" She wondered.
"Dania, I'm not forcing you to have sex with me, I'm just wondering why? Haven't I proven myself a worthy boyfriend by being patient, understanding, and reasonable?" I asked. "Yes, you've done plenty to prove yourself a stable boyfriend." She mumbled. "So why is it I ask for something I feel I've worked hard to earn. You simply don't want it or tell me its not safe. Baby, I don't want to fight or cause you any stress but, this isn't fair to either of us." I pointed out.
She didn't say anything in response to my heartfelt statements. "Alright, I'll let this matter drop for tonight but, I do expect some kind of answer soon." I replied turning away from her. It was a rough night for both of us but, I did have a point. Normally I don't like doing things to hurt her, this time around all I wanted was the truth. Sadly she didn't want to give that to me.
First thing the next morning as I stood in the shower soaking up the warm water. While Dania continuing sleeping in our bed, something about today felt new and different. After getting out of the shower to dry off, she wakes up and enters the bathroom. While I dried my hair she stepped into the tub and turned the shower on. As I hung my towels up and grabbed some fresh ones from the closet.
"Good morning, thanks for grabbing some fresh towels for me." She said. "Mhmm." I replied walking out of the bathroom. As I got dressed I could hear her humming a polite tune, while she washed up. After putting my shoes on I wandered my way into the kitchen for some breakfast. Cracking a couple of eggs over a warm skillet Dania, walked into the kitchen a moment later.
Her black hair combed back and damp, wearing a body towel around her curved frame. Wrapping her arms around my waist she leaned up and kissed my cheek. She rested her head on my shoulder and began purring while holding me. "Hungry?" I asked flipping my eggs over. "Thanks, hun but, I'll have something a little lighter if that's okay." She replied letting me go. As I put my eggs on a plate and turned off the stove.
"Sure, whatever you want, Dania." I replied walking over to the table. As I sat down I looked over at her rustling through the cabinets, her tail was raised up. Revealing her tight, firm, sexy butt to me, so naturally I soaked in the view she provided. Naughty glances were nothing new between us, as long as we didn't goose the other. Just in case we were holding something harmful or fragile.
Once I finished I said my goodbyes and headed down to campus for my classes. Little did I know what went on at our home until, later on in the day. As I unlocked the door the apartment felt empty, like half of what was here was now gone. Though while took a look around the place everything was still where it was. Until I looked upon the bedroom dresser's mirror a note had be taped to it.
Dania left me a note figuring it was to inform me of something that came up. So I grabbed the note, opened it before sitting down on the bed. The note said; "Nate, I've done a lot of thinking since our deep conversation in bed. It made me realize that I haven't been fair to you at all, and I'm sorry. Ignoring your needs wasn't fulfilling my side of our wonderful three and half year relationship.
When I come home tonight I want to have a deep conversation with you. I think it's time we either move forward or perhaps break up and find someone else. Hopefully by talking about this we can find a solution to both sides of our problem. I'll seeya you when I get home, know that I do love you. See you around dinner time love, Dania."
I got up set the note on the nightstand, before making my way into the guest room/office. The hours ticked by as I did my homework when, I did look up at the wall clock. It read ten past five, so I finished with the last of my homework. Before getting up, walking into the kitchen to get dinner started for when she came home.
Sadly as ten o'clock rolled around she hadn't come home and I started to worry. So I called her cell phone, hoping for answer, sure enough she picked up the phone. "Hey, baby sorry, Ben needed me to work a double shift tonight." She said after answering the phone. I could hear Ben in the back ground voicing his apologies. "Alright, just be careful coming home and dinner will be in the micro." I informed.
"Yep, I'll be home in a couple of hours, so don't wait up and we'll talk in the morning." She replied before hanging up. After putting the phone down, I went into the kitchen to put dinner away. Once it was put away I locked the door and went off to bed. During the course of the night Dania never came home.
As I awoke the following morning after washing up and getting dress. Looking around the living room I noticed, Dania sleeping peacefully on the couch. Naturally I didn't have the heart to wake her. So I left her sleep on the couch while I went to make myself some breakfast. While I cooked she woke up and got cleaned up before joining me in the kitchen. "Morning, sweetie, breakfast smells wonderful mind if I have some?" She said sitting at the table.
"Sure, here take this and I'll make some more for myself.' I replied giving her my intended portion. It didn't take me long to make more for myself then I sat down at the table. She acted rather distant the entire time we sat their eating our breakfast. "Nate, I want us to stay friends but, as a couple we've reached our limit. You deserve someone better, a woman that will cater to your every want and need." She said barely audible.
"Dania, are you sure this is the path you want to take?" I asked as she lowered her gaze from mine. "I don't want to drag this out or cause things to spiral out of control. Where bad things are said and ill feelings surface, all I ask is for a clean break. Besides there's someone that has been crushing on you heavily for some time now. She made it clear to me a few weeks ago after we had class together." She stated.
"I understand, Dania if this is what you want than I support your decision. May, I ask whom this mystery person is just in case there's no confusion. " I replied. "You know her all to well considering she's not all that hard to miss." She stated with a knowing look. Now I felt really lost, Dania was making sense and yet she wasn't. She could tell that her recent statement really threw me for a loop.
She got up a second later walked over to where she left her purse last night. Fished around in it for a few moments clearly looking for something in particular. Once she found what she was looking for, she walked back into the dining room, holding what looked like a picture. After sitting back down in her chair, she slid the picture across the table. When she removed her hand from it, I leaned over and grabbed it.
Lifting the photo off the table and bringing up to my face to see what was on it. My face turn four shades of bright red at the woman posing seductively on it. "Judging from your reaction you recognized the woman in the photo." Dania said. "Yeah, isn't this your best friend, Gemini?" I stated blinking a few times. "Mhmm, oddly enough she's wanted you badly since, she first laid eyes on you." She pointed out.
"Now, I understand what you meant by she's hard to miss. With a body like hers there's not a man alive that wouldn't miss her." I replied. "True, but each man to make a pass at her, has been sent packing with their tails between their legs." She remarked. "Surely, she's got someone worthy of her time?" I asked handing the photo back.
"Keep, it that was meant for you anyway. No, each guy she's tried to date only wants sex from her." She stated waving her hand. "Bummer, poor girl I'm shocked she's still straight after all that mess." I said. "Actually, Gem is actually bisexual but, has a strong preference for men." She informed. "So my question is why be interested in a lowly human like me? I asked.
"That's a question you'll just have to ask her." She remarked. "Lovely, Just how and when am I supposed to see her?" I said questioningly. Sure enough fate decided to answer my sarcastic question for me, as a knock came to the door. "I think you're question is about to get answered." She replied getting up from her chair. Walking from the dining room, through living room and opening the front door.
