#13 of Love not Lost


It was Friday afternoon, and sixth period had just let out, Aidan and Leo were walking between classes, when a certain orange figure approached them. "Hey guys, are you both ready for my party tonight?"

Aidan looked at Leo, and the lion smiled, "Yes I am, foxy boy."

"And I'll be coming with him," the cat's arm wrapped around the lion's waist.

As Leo was hugging his kitty back and the three made light talk of the party, Sorto and his gang crossed the hall talking and laughing. Aidan's eyes flicked over to the group for a second when their conversation had just lulled. Did he see the hyena's head turn back from their direction, or was he just imagining? He shook off the incident and returned to chatting about the party formalities as the warning bell tolled and the three moved toward Gym class.

Six o'clock that night found Aidan in his closet picking through ties and shirts. He hadn't been to a non-school party in so long, he really didn't know what to wear. The fleeting thought of special underwear was quickly pushed back as he held a colorfully striped snap down against his chest and looked in the mirror.

The distinct horn of Leo's motorcycle came through the window glass, Aidan's ear perking and turning to it. He walked to his bedroom door and leaned out, "Mom! Tell Leo I need a bit more time!"

The old cat sighed and stood, walking out onto the front porch and waving at the lion until he turned off the motor and came up to her, "Aidan's taking a while deciding what to wear, why don't you wait inside?"

Leo scratched the back of his head, "Well alright, but why is he taking so long?"

"He's gay, he's picking out clothes."

Leo sighed and followed the older feline inside, sitting down heavily in the larger of the easy chairs.

Aidan finally emerged fifteen minutes later wearing a black sueded shirt with a yellow and black polka dot tie and black pants. He came down to find his mother and lover talking over coffee and tea, and Sarah in the office listening to the Cure on the computer. "Hey Hon, sorry ta keep ya."

Leo smiled up at his lover, "That's alright, you look nice."

Aidan purred and blushed just slightly, noticing as he did that Leo was wearing all denim, "Nice jacket, Dear."

Leo smiled, "Thanks," And stood, playfully showing himself off.

Aidan grabbed his lion by the arm and pulled him toward the door, "C'mon, we don't wanna be too late."

Leo stumbled after his cat, waving back at the two mollies as they left.

"Don't get him pregnant!" Sarah yelled after the departing couple.

Aidan almost turned and replied, but Leo grabbed his shoulders and pulled him out, closing the door.

They arrived soon after, navigating through a swamp of high schoolers' cars. If they were not on a motorcycle, then Leo would've been forced to park another street over. As it was, they had to park between a Camry and a hatchback. Leo began to unbutton his jacket as they approached the door. Aidan stopped as he saw bits of mane showing through from under his jacket, but said nothing as the lion bared his front.

As Leo was raising his fist to knock, Ryan answered the door in a too small yellow tank top and black jeans that hung so low that were it not for his thong, the top of his sheath might be at risk of peeking, "Hey guys," his eyes fell on the lion's exposed chest, "Oh Leo, you didn't have to dress so formally." He said, almost murring as he leaned forward, running a paw over the exposed mane. His paw travelled down and cupped over the front of the larger male's pants, "So, is there anything else you didn't wear?" he asked playfully.

"Alright, bad foxy, leggo my lion." Aidan said, pushing Ryan off.

"Oh, I was just having a little fun," the fox said with feigned hurt, pouting out his lip.

"Yeah, yeah, sure."

Leo smirked, looking over at Aidan, "Aw let the fox have his fun."

"He can get his own toy to play with," the cat said, taking Leo's arm and walking inside. "Oh my lord." Aidan's mouth opened in surprise and his feet faltered as he walked into a scene unlike any he'd seen outside of websites.

Small framed boys of various species were on top of the tables in Ryan's family's living room, all in various stages of undress. Various girls stood around cheering them on while most males, who were the subjects of the strippers' catcalls, pretended to not notice. One, a Dalmatian, saw the newcomers walk in and tossed his shirt toward them, so that the garment landed about three feet from their feet. "Welcome to the party, boys!" He howled, turning and shaking his already scantily clad rear at them.

"You hired strippers, Ryan?" Aidan asked.

"No no, they're just, friends with benefits." A wide smile crept across the fox's face. "I'm far above hiring strippers. If you'd like their numbers..," he pulled out the notebook he had shown the cat once in the locker room.

"No thanks, Ryan. Leo and I don't need any extra love in our lives."

"But three's company!" Shouted the Dalmatian, winking and making Aidan blush and pull his lion away to the kitchen.

Aidan grabbed a cup for him and Leo and began to ladle punch into each. "Man, I was not expecting that first thing."

Leo chuckled, putting his hand on his kitty's , "It is Ryan, after all. It's not that surprising, really."

Aidan nodded and sighed, then walked with Leo back into the main room. He tried to avoid looking at the stripping boys, but his gaze occasionally strayed as he followed Leo through the party.

"Ryan!" the shout rang out into the kitchen. Aidan and Leo both looked out into the living room in time to see slight sandy colored arms wrap themselves around their host's waist.

"Oof! There's a hug I haven't felt in a while!" Ryan exclaimed, hugging the arms and turning slowly until finally his attacker was visible to the felines. A slender fennec hung off of the fox, nuzzling a right ear covered in rainbow studs against the back of the tank that Ryan wore. The tan twink was clothed in a mesh net shirt that was so tight that his thicker fur stuck through it in parts and short shorts. Piercings hung from his nipples, lip, and the tongue which stuck out as he hugged the larger framed fox. Finally, his turnings and twisting got Ryan to where he could hug the fennec back. "Wonderful to see you, Sam."

About then, Ryan saw the small group of furs that were interested enough to be watching, "Oh, this is my ex" He broke the hug, ruffling the shorter male's headfur, "Sam my ex."

Leo bent down to Aidan and whispered, "Ryan was steady with someone?"

"And apparently it ended well." Was whispered in return.

About then, someone in another room yelled, "Hey everybody, let's get in the pool!" and suddenly a mass exodus of various species moved to the doors to the back yard. Aidan noticed with some amusement that the strippers were no longer on the tables, though there were what he assumed to be their undergarments laying around the room.

Ryan walked up behind the couple as they watched the partiers depart, "So, why aren't you two in yet?"

Aidan whirled, surprised, "Uh, well, I didn't bring a suit, and I don't think Leo did, did you?"

Leo's mane ruffled as he shook his head, "Nope."

"Oh, well then, I guess that you'll have to get down to nothing to swim, huh? Wet jeans sure aren't fun."

Leo sighed, "I think I can stand to get my underwear wet, how about you Aidan?"

"Well, I'm glad I didn't put on any of my holey pairs today." The cat replied as he untied his tie and tossed it on the counter.

The fox watched, murring softly and letting his paw rub himself lightly over his groin. "Oh wait!" He stops, the couple already half undressed, "I need to grab my suit. I'll be right back you two, don't get in without me."

"Okay Ryan." Leo replied, stepping out of his jeans and putting them onto the counter.

The fox walked to the stair and then the fennec was right behind him, paws on the firm jeaned ass, "Can I come up and change with you? For old time's sake?"

Ryan giggled, "But if we do that, we just might not make it to the pool." Despite that, the two chased each other upstairs playfully as the two felines left behind laughed uncontrollably.

Leo and Aidan were both down to their boxers and walking out the back door to the pool when the fox finally rejoined them, wearing a skimpy yellow bikini. "Hey guys, didja miss me?" Somewhere in the pool, some guys were whistling, "Thank you, thank you."

"Um, where's Sam?" Aidan asked.

"Oh, he was just seeing what else my sister had to choose from."

Just then, Sam ran out of the dining room totally naked, and stopped, putting his hands on his hips, "Your sister is mean. She wouldn't let me try on any suits!"

Ryan's twin sister appeared from a second story balcony as Sam was finishing, "Ryan get your furry ass in here and gimme back my suit!"

"Oh Must I, sister dearest?" the fox asked, hugging his tail to himself and making big eyes at her.

"Yes! Right now!"

Ryan sighed, rolling his eyes and peeled off the top and tossing it at the window, before moving his paws down to the elastic of the bottom "Ugh no! just forget it!" his sister exclaimed, storming off.

As soon as she left, a grey wolf walked out, "Ryan, what are you doing?"

"Oh Hey Michael, I dunno, just wanted to be pretty for you." Ryan giggled, pulling the elastic on the bottom part of the bikini down to reveal the top of his sheath. The wolf just sighs, rolling his eyes and going back in. "You're just jealous because Rebecca doesn't look this good in the suit." Ryan yells at the retreating figure.

"Whatever Ryan." He said without breaking pace.

"Was that her boyfriend?" Leo asked.

"Oh yeah, he's not out yet."

"Not every guy is gay, y'know."

"Hey, a guy can dream, right?"

The pool was a mass of writhing, splashing, laughing, yelling, warm, tangling bodies all moving as separate parts. Aidan secretly wondered how many of these people actually knew Ryan, and how many just showed up for free food.

And still, somehow in this mass, Leo still managed to playfully pose and show off for a small crowd of admirers, even if each pose was usually interrupted by a splash or tackle from Aidan or Ryan, although Ryan's tackles generally involved more grabbing at his rear.

In the middle of a splash fight with a Pomeranian, Aidan looked up and saw a flash of tan spotted fur. But pausing to look only got him splashed in the eyes, so he swam under the pool to escape the small dog's barrage and watch the rippling image of patterned legs in baggie shorts walk around the pool. They looked like hyena, could they be? Finally the crowd parted enough for Aidan to see, and the cat quickly came up for a breath and swam toward his host.

"Hey, uh, Ryan, it looks like Sorto showed." He said as he came up, sputtering water.

The host turned from the conversation he was having with a nude otter, "Oh? Well I kinda expected that he would."

"And this isn't a problem for you? He dislocated your arm."

"I said open invitation, I'll just stay out of his way."

"If you're sure."

He flicked his paw at his worried friend, "I'm positive, besides, how could I worry when I have this adorable otter with me?" he said effeminately, thrusting his chest and murring at the naked male.

The otter giggled and moved one of his paws, Aidan didn't look to see where. Then, with a lick across Ryan's nose, the water mammal dived under. As Aidan was turning away, he heard Ryan squeak, then giggle and splash around, making small pleasured noises. The cat just blushed and swam to Leo, who was flexing for a group of girls.

"Hey Leo..."

"Oh good you're here, I wanna show these girls how much I can lift!"

"Wait, wha-oah!" Aidan squirmed and tried to swim as he was pulled from the water and held over the larger male's head, "Hey!"

"Stop squirming, it makes you harder to hold!" Aidan did not, however stop, so Leo just shrugged and threw him into the water.

He came up sputtering, the girls giggling. He turned to the lion, "I came to tell you that Sorto's here."

"Really?" he glanced around, then, spotting the hyena, he walked toward his mate through the water and stood in front of him.

"What are you doing?"

The lion turned his head minutely back, "I don't want him to see you."

Aidan pushed the larger male, only succeeding in almost losing his balance as he stepped around the statuesque lion, "I don't think that he is actually stupid enough to try anything here."

Leo eventually gave in, but for much of the rest of the time in the pool, he warily watched the hyena move around, flexing for girls and scorning any males that dared compliment his physique.

Eventually the party moved back indoors, which someone had had the foresight to not overly air condition, so that the soaking fur and clothes did not make the party goers all freeze. Aidan made sure to get at least mostly redressed after toweling, but Leo only put his pants back on, which still left him more dressed than many of the other guests.

"So, why are you showing off today, Hon?" Aidan asked, petting his paw over the fluffy chest mane.

"Why not, we're at a party thrown by Ryan after all."

Aidan nodded, "Yeah, and you're still more modest than some of his friends," the cat replied with a flick of the paw to the other, mostly undressed partiers.

"Speaking of, where is that fox anyway?"

Aidan shrugged, "Came in before us, and he prolly didn't waste time getting dressed."

The two felines socialized for awhile, but after a point, Aidan's cat curiosity became piqued by their hosts absence to the point where he suggested, "Let's go sniff out that Flaming fox."

He pulled Leo with him down the hall as they began to check doors, and very soon after just began listening at them instead of opening them.

Aidan was a bright red under his fur, turning him pink, "Is there always so much sex at Ryan's parties? Sheesh."

Leo's ears perked, "What, you haven't been to one before?"

"Naw, I told you, I was never much of a party guy. I usually just stayed home."

Leo was about to comment on that when they heard banging and the yells of Ryan's older sister, "Dammit, shut the fuck up there!" rang out as she stood, bathrobe on, her bedroom door open, and her arm repeatedly banging on the door next to hers.

A schipperke girl finally opened the door, hiding most of her body behind the wood and giggled, "Sorry, we didn't mean to bother you." She turned her head back in toward the room, "Austin, we need to be fucking quietly, according to this girl."

Aidan just hustled past the scene, pulling along a reluctant lion who was still trying to listen and watch.

Finally, they heard a familiar giggle and saw a shaft of light leading to a partially open door. Creeping up, Aidan peeked in and laughed, turning to whisper to Leo, "Well, I found'em."

Leo took a look and smirked, watching as a black paw traced lightly over a light tan chest, down behind the erect cock, then slowly back up, a slender orange muzzle nipped at a sandy ear that jingled with colorful rings, and two sets of eyes shone in the lamplight. The fennec leaned back against the white chest that connected to the lap he sat in as the two boys wrapped their tails around each other.

Aidan pulled lightly on the curious lion's arm, "C'mon, whatever I had to say to him can wait, besides," he pulled the lion to the other side of the hall and hugged him tight to his body, purring softly and kissing him.

Leo kissed back, his purr a deeper rumble, and pressed his kitty back against a door as they embraced.

They were too distracted with each other to notice when the door knob turned, and ended up both falling back onto a surprised, naked German Shepherd on the other side, knocking him to the floor with them in a tangled pile.

The Dog sprang up quickly, blushing, and ran off into the hallway, stooping to grab a pile of fabric on his way.

A head lifted from the bed as the two felines stood, and a distinctly male voice called out, "Jerry? Who's there?"

Aidan didn't respond, he just took off down the hall, stopping about ten feet down to wait for Leo, head in paw. When the lion caught up, Aidan caught him and pulled him into a laughing hug and nuzzle.

After their laughter had died down, and the other occupant of the room had run off, ducked low to avoid recognition, a naked Ryan finally appeared, walking out triumphantly. The sconces that dotted the hallway walls were all far enough away from the feline couple that they were cast into shadow, and they watched, their eyes softly gleaming as Sam appeared a few seconds later, nude, half erect, and jumped up to hug the fox around his neck. Ryan hugged back and spun them both, and in the electric light Aidan thought he caught a faint gleam on the back of Sam's leg.

"Oh Honey, have you seen my underwear?" the fennec asked after a moment, giggling.

The orange furred male glanced about the hall, then peeked over the handrail to the living room below. "Oh, they landed on the couch."

"Oh whatever will happen when I bend down to pick'em up?" the fennec asked, miming worry.

The two nuzzled and giggled together.

Aidan watched in the shadows, contemplating how cute they were together. How could they have ever broken up? Or Ryan topped? What if me and Leo... The two foxes had left the hall when he looked back up, and he suddenly didn't feel comfortable in the dark anymore. "Hey hon, let's head back down."

Back downstairs, Aidan ladled them both punch, taking a long gulp of his before refilling his glass and handing Leo the other. He twisted his face, smacking his lips as he sipped again at the punch, "Does this taste different to you?"

"Hmm? The punch?"

"Yeah, it seems like there's an extra something..."

Leo sipped his glass, swishing it around before swallowing slowly, "No, I don't taste anything."

"Huh, must've been my imagination, I guess."

The lion shrugged, "I guess."

Across the room, Jess was downing another glass of punch with her friends as they discussed the various guys at the party when one of her friends sneered, "You do know about half or more of the guys here aren't interested in you"

"Shut up Wanda, you're just jealous because none of them are interested in you"

Wanda rolled her eyes and sighed, "Whatever! I'm gonna go get some punch, you want some more?"

"What?" Jess glanced down at her glass, "Oh, yeah sure."

Wanda took empty glasses from the other three girls and strolled into the kitchen, sashaying her hips for the benefit of those few boys that would be interested.

"I want that lion," offered one of Jess's friends, pointing to a male across the room.

Jess giggled and pointed to where Leo and Aidan were talking in a small group, "That one's hotter."

"But he's gay girl, he's got a boy-friend."

Jess smirked, "No, he's bi, and I'll bet that he'd love a chance at a girl right about now." She drained her glass, handing it to one of her friends, "Watch and learn, ladies." She waited until the smaller cat left to refill their glasses, and then slowly slinked up, flopping into her quarry's lap and snuggling against him.

Leo, confused, recoiled and started to ask, "Uh, Jess, what are..?"

"Shh, shh, shhhhh," She almost laughed, putting her finger to his lips and sliding a paw down into Leo's pants, forcing a kiss on his lips.

Leo was taken aback, and couldn't react for a few seconds, but then he saw Aidan across the room, face broken up in distress as he hustled out of the room.

At that, the lion jumped up, knocking the girl to the floor, who sheepishly smiled back up at him. He looked down to find a slip of paper in his pants. He yanked it out and glanced at it, and when he realized that in the sloppy script was a phone number, he crumpled it into a ball and dropped it. "You know I'm with Aidan, I can't believe you'd do this."

Jess sat on the ground and giggled softly. Confused, Leo bent down, "Jess, are you okay?"

Alcohol hung on the jaguar's breath as she replied, "No, I'm fine, why?"

Leo stood and purposefully stalked over to the punch bowl and sniffed, detecting a slight alcoholic odor. He hurried to help Jess stand back up and then half carried her to her group of friends, glancing back to where his lover had run off, "Hey, uh, could you girls watch her, I think she's drunk."

Without waiting for an answer he released the jaguar near Wanda and then ran after his cat, where he found him slouched in a corner, gazing dejectedly at a wall and ignoring the cheetah that stood next to him, trying to comfort him, "It's alright, you don't need him, you'll be..."

"Rabu, please stop, I..."

"You what?"

"I don't need this right now, okay?"

"What do you need?" the cheetah returned, running a finger over the cat's arm.

"I don't know, but I don't need what you're saying!" Aidan threw his paws up in frustration.

"I think I know what you need," the cheetah replied, inching closer.

"And what is tha...mff" Aidan was interrupted by the cheetah's lips as they were planted on his with amazing speed.

After only a second's pause, Aidan pushed the cheetah off, sputtering, and before Rabu could react, Leo had stepped up between them, putting an arm around his cat protectively. Aidan looked up with surprise at his lion.

Rabu opened his mouth to speak, but Leo interrupted him, "Rabu, I suggest that you turn around and find your girlfriend before I get any angrier."

Aidan just nodded and snuggled closer to his lion.

"Oh, because you're obviously better for him, going around with other girls and boys!"

"And you aren't? Go back to your girlfriend."

Rabu was about to respond, but Leo thrust his upper body forward threateningly and the cheetah turned tail and ran.

Aidan sighed, leaning weakly against his lion, "I'm sorry Dear, he just sprang on me."

Leo looked down at his cat, smiling, "She was drunk."

Aidan looked up with a confused face.

"Jess, she was a.., er, she kissed me because she was."

"You know, with the same thing happening to me, I had kinda forgotten why I was here."

Leo looked over, stifled a laugh, "Yeah, she was definitely drunk."

Aidan followed his gaze to see Jess trying to pull up her shirt while her friends were trying to pull it down. "Wow." Was all the cat could say, exaggerating his mouth movements and shaking his head. As the couple turned and walked back down the hall, Aidan shook his head, laughing, "Man, everyone wants in our pants today."

Leo looked over at him, "Well, not that many."

"Well, you've got Jess and Ryan, I've got Rabu and all those random guys..."

Leo paused at his kitty's mention of Ryan, "Ryan? Did he tell you?"

Aidan laughed, "Yeah, he actually made me wager on our little wrestling match. Whoever won got to spend a night with you. And if I won, he'd gimme some heh 'stuff' that I wanted."

"Really? And so why hasn't he claimed his prize?"

Aidan shrugged, "He came back later and said that he didn't wanna force my paw."

Leo smiled and poked the kitty, "What, do you think he'll take me away from you?"

Aidan giggled and batted at the lion's paws, "No, stop, no I just, hee hee, I just didn't wanna push him to do you."

Leo stopped poking, "Does it bother you? I mean, the idea of him and me having sex?"

"Only, well, I dunno. I mean, I don't exactly want you to sleep around with any guy, but I guess I'd let you, you know..."

"You sound uncomfortable, hon."

"Well, I guess, well I'd wanna watch if you did."

Leo laughed, "Oh really? You wanna watch me do Ryan."

"Well I guess, yeah, if you two were to do it, I may as well watch right?"

Leo smiled and hugged his mate, "Ah, I'm sure Ryan would love an audience," he said with a laugh. "Heck, knowing Ryan, he'd probably ask if more could watch."

Aidan smirked and gave a few snorts of laughter, "Yeah, prolly."

Leo nudged his kitty, "So, you think that we should find'im? I'm sure he'd be thrilled."

"Right now?"

The lion shrugged, "Why not?"

Aidan thought for a second and decided that he had no reply to that, and so he shrugged, silently hoping that the fox wouldn't make a scene.

After a short discussion between the two felines and a bit of a longer search than expected to find a vacant room (It turned out that the only empty one that they could find was the fox's), Aidan went out into the main rooms to find Ryan. He found the fox nude and pressing himself between a Doberman and a German shepherd. It took a little bit of coaxing, but he finally pulled the vulpine from the two canines and towards the preselected room.

As soon as the two entered the room, Ryan was knocked to the bed by a flash of gold that sprang from behind the door, knocking it closed as it passed. Ryan squealed in surprise, then quickly changed to murrs of delight as he discovered that he was under a naked Leo.

Aidan pushed some colorful clutter from a chair opposite the bed and sat down, smiling at the two.

Ryan turned to him, rubbing his paws almost absent mindedly over the male body above him, "So what's all this about?"

Aidan smiled and blushed, "Well, we did have that bet."

"I said you could forget it though," the fox interjected, tip toeing his fingers through the thick chest mane over him, making Leo chuckled and smiled.

The fox's eyes lit up at the lion's chuckle, "Oh re-ally now, so you both decided this?" he murred before he reached up and took a firm, yet gentle hold of the lion's testes, massaging them expertly while trying to kiss the lion over and over.

Leo pulled his head back in surprise, and turned to look at his mate. Aidan nodded and offered, "It's okay Leo."

Leo turned just in time to catch one of the fox's kisses directly on the lips, holding him there and reaching down to rub over the smaller naked body beneath him.

Ryan immediately responded by trying to pull the big male on top of him. Leo just smirked and held himself in place as the weaker male pulled. The lion did not want to go as fast as the fox 'was urging, and he was determined to get his way. Instead he lowered his head down and began to lick at the fox's cheek, his paws still rubbing over the smaller male's sides.

Aidan meanwhile was fidgeting in the corner as his cock strained at his pants. He knew that if he took it out right now, he wouldn't be able to stop touching himself until well after he came, and that it would probably be well before his lion even let things get started properly. So he sat and hoped he could hold out on himself.

Leo cradled the fox's head in his large paw to kiss him over and over as the other massaged over his chest and his hips pressed the effeminate male down. Ryan murred softly to this, and ran his fingers down through the lion's mane and gently rub over the base of the leonine cock. At this, Leo stopped kissing and grinned down at the fox, who smirked back at him. Leo just reached down, taking the fuzzy white sack in his palm and rolling them softly, eliciting a small moan from his bedmate.

Ryan eyed the lion seductively and began to raise and move his legs, wrapping them up and over the lion's so that his rear was bared. His paws moved to the lion's rear and gave a gentle push.

Leo carefully positioned himself so that his cock nestled between the cheeks of the fox and gently glided it back and forth, not quite deep enough to even graze the fox's pucker. Ryan tried to push down on the stronger male, to no avail, and instead settled on squirming around to get the shaft closer to his eventual goal.

Aidan's cock was out now, and his paw was on it, but he was very carefully not pump- no stop it, none of that , aw dammit his paw is squeezing, stop that now, sitting and carefully not playing with his needy cock.

Leo had his cockhead pressing just at the fox's pucker when a banging came on the door, "Hey Twinklebutt?! If you're in there, sorry to interrupt your orgy but there's a situation downstairs that I am not about to deal with!" came the cry of Ryan's twin.

"Dammit Rebecca! Is it really important?" Ryan called back as the lion crawled off of him.

"Do you think I'd force myself through this hallway of debauchery to interrupt my gay brother having his ass split open for nothing?"

"Fine, fine, I'm getting underwear." Ryan said as he stood up. The fox jumped into a pair of briefs and swung the door as his bedmates were still struggling with pants.

The fox had already somehow managed to threateningly storm down the stairs while clad only in briefs by the time Leo was two doors down and Aidan was running to catch him from the door, buttoning his shirt. "What is it, Leo?"

Leo was about to shrug, when he was distracted by a loud shout of, "What the holy hell?! Turn that the fuck off right now!" in a commanding manner that did not seem possible from the slight fox.

"Oh," Aidan said knowingly.

"What?"

"700 Club," the cat replied with a suppressed chuckle.

They were still smiling at that when they rounded the banister to find Sorto and his gang playing keep away with the remote, their host barreling through them angrily.

Then Aidan saw the screen and turned to run.
