Hey everyone,

I had this done for a couple of days, but being too occupied to post it ^^ Still, here it is, this is my Christmas present for you, the new chapte! If you like it, why don't you leave a comment, a vote or a fave? As always, thank you :iconGritou, for being there for me always and for loving me *hug*

"Is that a free spot?" Ale rumbled, hopefully pointing out a place with one paw while keeping the other on the steering wheel.

"No, posto per invalidi1." Luca destroyed his expectations reluctantly.

"That's not possible, we have been searching for that fottuto parcheggio2 for half a hour now!" The rottie cursed, his patience getting eroded at each failed attempt of finding the treasured spot in the neat and straight streets sided by distinguished buildings..

"You know, it is Saturday night, lots of furs come here in Prati, it is understandable that we can't find a place Ale." The lupo tried to calm down his friend, since there was no use in getting stressed, especially that night.

"They are mostly youngsters with their fucking macchinette3, come on, they should be at home!" The other dodged the attempt, too angry to listen to reason.

"But you didn't do that when you were their age, give the kids some fun!" The taller dog tried to defend the youth, though he wasn't that convinced himself by that. He was annoyed too by their too easy-going attitude, and the fact that most of them were really, really young and probably not going to return home before 2 am. Still, he didn't let himself get distracted by such an argument and kept doing his watchdog duty.

"Stronzate4, I wasn't partying until the small hours of the night when I was fourteen yeas old!" He exclaimed, then his ears perked when he seemed to find finally the spot, but they soon flattened since the seemingly free place was occupied by a Smart car. "Fuck! Fucking small cars!"

"Ale, relax! We have still plenty of time!" The lupo said, this time with a more forceful tone so to manage to get the message in that thick black head.

"I know, but it's so fucking annoying, I don't want to waste time by driving and praying for someone to free a place for us!" The other wined while getting in the round Piazza dei Quiriti to continue their endless quest.

"We went out of our apartment this early because this was going to happen, we still have time so don't worry, okay?" The wolfish dog reassured his friend. "Plus, we could have take the motorcycle." He thought, but didn't spoke up, the black dog didn't need complains right now.

"I-I know, but I want this night to be perfect...." The rottie whimpered, his ears as flattened as they could.

"Don't worry buddy, I am here to help you, everything will go fine." Luca said, patting his friend on one beefy arm. Because he was doing that he almost missed the empty spot at the side of the road, but his instincts, refined by years living in the city, warned him in time. "STOP! UN PARCHEGGIO5!"

Ale stomped the brake pedal, halting the car with a sharp noise of wheels being stopped. "DOVE, DOVE6!" He shouted, jerking his head around to find it.

"There, behind us on the left!" The other answered loudly, pointing out to their long awaited goal.

"Finally!" The black dog rejoiced, then hastily put the reverse and driving there, being the street a one way one and not wanting to take the risk of getting there with the legitimate way only to find someone just closing his car in the once-emptied spot.

Having reached the spot quickly, and luckily since no other car was behind them nor coming, the rottie parked his Fiat in the spot with expert moves, and only when they were done with securing the place they let themselves sigh in relief, enjoying the feeling. Ale's sigh morphed in a light chuckle, attracting his friend attention.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" He asked, a brow raised questioningly even though the rottie couldn't see it in the dark, camouflaged in the rest of the fur.

"It's not a laugh of amusement, but an hysterical one. It's not possible that we have to take so many pains to park!" The other reveled the reason, shaking his head and flicking his ears.

"If you want to live in Roma, you have to go through them!" Luca said, then added scornfully. "Still, I would like better transportation."

"I know." The rottie agreed before looking at his watch. "Wow, we have still thirty-five minutes, we better get going!"

"We are still early, see, everything is going fine! Though, why do you want to get there before them?" The lupo asked, curious to know, while unfastening his belt and getting out from the car.

"Because I prefer that, no real reason." The black dog said while doing the same, and he would have surely bland in the darkness thanks to his black figure if it wasn't for the light-colored shirt and the dim light of the street laps.

"I see. So, let's go then, we have to walk a bit from here!" Luca enthusiastically exclaimed, wanting for his friend to be in top form.

"Yeah, let's the evening begin!" The other replied with an exclamation of his own, trotting to the curb after closing the car.

They were in a nicer street, full of little villas with gardens, mostly used by embassies and companies. They turned left to get back to Piazza dei Quiriti,not traversing it to reach the center, occupied by a small park with a fountain of playing water nymphs, deciding to just stick to the outer ring of it. They had just exited the piazza from the other side when the lupo interrupted their silence and their walk.

"Aspetta un momento7, aren't we forgetting something?" Luca asked, his tail stopping his gentle movement.

"Cazzo8, you are right! The lilies!" Ale choked a scream, hastily turning and beginning to run back to the car.

"Wait Ale, there is no need to run!" The lupo shouted to his friend, but he didn't listen and his buff figure soon disappeared around one corner. The tall dog followed him at a slower pace, since he preferred not to get sweaty before a nice outing, and they weren't in a hurry in the first place; he would have told that much to Ale, but the rottie was under so much stress that he couldn't think clearly. That, in itself, was really cute, it showed how he cared for this girl and the lupo was just happy for him, in his opinion he deserved to have that.

He didn't get too far back when a puffing black dog arrived, the gift for Clara secured in his paws and all prepared with a nice bow around the vase, a lighter shade of orange than the flowers themselves. The dark canine stopped to regain some breath, panting with his open muzzle and lolling tongue.

"I... pouf... took it .... poof... now!" He said between deep breaths, holding out the plant as a trophy to show proudly.

"I see. You know you could have simply walked to the car, right?" The tall dog said almost solemnly and without ear flicks, doing that just for the sake of messing with his friend.

"But-but we just have twenty-five minutes!" He protested vehemently, having regained a normal breath pace.

"If we have only that much time, we should run this last five hundred meters, else we won't make it!" The other smirked, and he was quite sure that Ale would have playfully punched him if that action wouldn't have risked the precious gift.

"Yeah, yeah, make fun of the poor, distressed dog, but do that while walking!" The rottie ordered, pushing the chuckling and wagging lupo into motion again, shepherding him through the piazza again and down the road, finally entering the street of the pub.

It didn't take them more than two minutes to reach the entrance, a open door with stairs leading down to the place, something that was quite usual in that neighborhood, maybe reused basements, especially those used back in the days for storing the charcoal. And there they stopped, Luca's watch telling him that they were still twenty minutes before the fateful hour, but not telling his friend, who was already showing signs of nervousness.

"Relax Ale, it will go well." The slim canine said for what was the fifteenth time that day, extending his paws to take the plant so that his friend could rest a bit. He was met with a deep growl of the big dog, which was met by an annoyed grunt from him.

"Sorry, I want to hold it, in case Clara showed up, it is my gift for her!" He weakly apologized, his ears rotating as he turned as if to catch the sound of an approaching German Shepherd.

"Okay Ale, whatever you want." Luca resigned himself from further trying to comfort him, instead deciding to be still. He began to wonder how Clara's friend looked like, and how he was personality-wise; of course, he wouldn't do anything with him but it was still worth wishing that, maybe, they would like each other and become friend, or even began to date. He wasn't doing that only for himself, since if their two best gay friends were friends with each other, it would ease the liaison between Clara and Ale, much better than getting caught in a fairy enmity. Luca didn't want for Ale to be forced to chose, not when he was just starting things with this girl, so he had resolved to try his best and to hide whatever antipathy would arise. His musings were interrupted by a whimper.

"Luca ....."

"Yes, Ale?" He said, turning to his openly nervous friend, something that made his heart clench a bit.

"... Are you sure it will go well?" The flat-eared rottie muttered.

"Of course it will! I know you, you will be charming and amazing!" The lupo spoke his mind with decision, all of his words true to him.

"But-but what if she doesn't like me ...." The other continued his sad muttering, this time lowering his big head.

"Nonsense Ale, she will and she does, else you wouldn't have this date going! You know Clara, do you really think that she won't like you?" He asked while raising his friend's head so that they could stare in each other eyes, hoping to lend some of his strength to him this way.

"You are right, Luca..." The rottie murmured.

"What did you say? I can't hear you!"

"You are right Luca!" Ale repeated again, this time conviction in his voice and on his face, looking revitalized by this short prep talk.

"Good Ale, that's the attitude!" The taller canine congratulated his hunky friend, patting his shoulder like he just won a competition.

"Thank you Luca." The rottie smiled, his ears finally returning to their normal position and his stub quite surely moving behind him.

"You're welcome Ale." He smiled back, happy that his best friend was again cheerful and ready for what it was coming.

"So, are you sure I am dressed in the right way?" The black canine asked, but this time there was any trace of insecurity in his voice, just the will to pass some of the time ahead in pleasant conversation.

Luca looked at him, squadrandolo dalla testa ai piedi9. Ale was just looking amazing, with his shirt hugging his chest in the right way, just not too tight to be ridiculous but not too loose to show what he packed thanks to natural disposition and hours of gym. Some of his chest fur showed up, it being mostly dark with the hint of the brown of his characteristic patches, but the shirt wasn't unbuttoned past the first two higher buttons, to not make others think he was just a macho showing off. The pants where just as perfect, in the same way, their cut classic but not too formal, just something that a fur could wear when he wanted to dress nicely.

"You are, I'm quite sure that, if Clara hasn't already fallen for you, she will tonight!" He answered him with a dreamy tone.

"So, now that I'm all in cleaned up nicely you are thinking about me in that way, eh?" The buff canine winked, his self-esteem growing stronger.

"Eh? What? Why do you say that?" The lupo snapped out, blushing for being caught like that.

"Weeeeeeeeel, your voice tells me that buddy!" He kept teasing his friend, changing the plant from one paw to the other one.

"Uhm, it's not like that, just thinking that you look amazing for Clara, that's all!" The wolfish dog defended himself, still blushing madly.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say." The rottie let that pass, then glanced at his clock. "Ten minutes now."

"Yeah, ten minutes. Are you okay now? Cold feet?" The lupine asked, thankful that he wasn't the center of his friend's inquiry, and still a bit concerned about Ale's mood.

"Nah, don't worry, I am okay now, no cold feet at all!" He rumbled, and maybe he would have added but he was cut off by a soft sound coming from his pockets. He posed his precious plant on the curb to fish his phone, the source of the mysterious sound that had announced the arrival of a message, which made him snort.

"What does it say?" The lupo asked, subconsciously getting closer to his friend and trying to peer the written text on the small screen.

"It's Clara, she says they aren't finding a parking lot, so they will be a bit late." He snorted again, his ears flattening on his skull for a brief moment.

"That was kind of her to warn you." Luca simply said, then added as an afterthought. "And not so incredible to believe, after all we were in the same situation not so long ago!"

"Yeah, you are right, or maybe she had to wait for his friend to be prepared." The other joked, probably to lighten up his mood and distract himself. Nevertheless, the lupine couldn't let such a joke pass.

"Wait, why are you thinking that it's his friend fault? Because he is gay doesn't mean he takes a lot of time to dress himself!" He protested while taking advantage of his friend's distraction to pick up the plant and relieve him of that duty for a while.

"Yes, of course, by experience I know that you guys are extremely slow to do that!" The rottweiler grinned with a flash his with teeth.

"Lies, pretentious lies! I was ready at the same time as you tonight!" Luca exclaimed offended, a bit growling.

"Not true, I had been dressed and perfumed for five minutes when you came out of your room!" Ale presented that fact as the ultimate proof of his theory.

"Five minutes isn't that late!" The taller dog replied menacingly, though that was just a rouse.

"Uhm , maybe, but that one time we left in great delay because you wanted to curl your fur, for once?" The black canine remembered, then took his plant back while his friend was still stunned by the statement.

"I-I want to... It was only.... Shut up, don't bring up that mistake of when I was young and foolish!" He barked, his cheeks clearly red now, almost glowing, which made his friend laugh hard for a few seconds before pulling himself together.

"See, I was right." He said after his laughter, his ears still flicking for the amusement.

"I would like that you won't bring up such things tonight, else I will be forced to reminiscence some of your classic figure di merda10." The lupine suggested while trying to regain his composure.

"Okay, okay. So, what should I talk about, if that subject is off-limits?" The muscled restorer half-jokingly asked.

"Usual stuff, of what do you two talk about in your hours long conversations?" The other answered the question with another one.

"Well, how the day went, what we are doing, I think nothing that special ...." He answered while a pensive frown appeared on his muzzle.

"So, you should talk about that, and what you like, for God's sake Ale, you have dated before, you should know!" Luca said, mostly to hide the fact that he was out of ideas.

"Yeah, yeah, I did, I just wanted to revise that stuff with you, that's all!" He jabbed back. "I wonder what will you and her friend talk about during the evening...."

"Why so? Like you, about common interests and whatnot, just a normal chat with a fur I don't know." The slim canine said, his head tilted because of his inability to understand.

"I guess for you guys it can be different, that's all." The other muttered bashfully, taking the opportunity to look at the street to avert his eyes.

"You know we really aren't, plus what different stuff can we talk about?" He asked, his curiosity at full force now.

"Well, gay stuff, I think." The black, shirt-wearing dog answered while keeping watching the street.

"I see, and what is it, if may I ask? Clothes, fashion, hot guys, what we like in our perverted butt-sex?" Luca asked again, with the goal of making the other restorer even more embarrassed.

"No, about how you live your being gay in Italy, sharing experiences." Ale bluntly responded. That made his friend silent, ashamed that he didn't have thought about that. He was just fooling around and harassing his friend while the rottie had been serious and not messing with him; sometimes, he just forgot that the funny, clumsy Ale was a kind and sensible guy.

"I-I am sorry Ale, I-I didn't think you were meaning that." The lupo apologized, and this time it was his ears to flatten.

"It's okay buddy, we were joking after all, it's not a big deal if you didn't understand that." The other scoffed the matter.

"Really Ale, I am sorry, I didn't-"

"Just stop Luca, Dio11, it isn't anything serious!" The rottie cut him off, this time with some annoyance in his rumbling voice.

"O-Okay." The lupo muttered, shutting his muzzle for now, since he was sure he would keep apologizing, which would make his friend more annoyed.

"Gosh, this evening is so emotional, and it hasn't even begun!" The buff dog exclaimed with ears flickering.

"Yeah, but at least you are being distracted from thinking about Clara!" The other pointed out, glad that the awkward moment had finished.

"Uh-oh, you are right, she should be here any moment now, maybe she sent me a text while-"

"HEY ALE!"
