Chapter 102: Smile

Roger did not fall asleep next to the wolf. He attempted to, but sleep never came. Instead, he laid there with his eyes shut, trying not to focus on the things that were causing him stress. The biggest issue that pulled at his attention was whether or not he was doing the right thing.

He rested his head on the wolf's shoulder and nibbled at his fur. It was, oddly enough, adequate to wake the wolf up. It was evident that Hunter had not been in too deep of a sleep. Judging by the usual time, he was not often asleep this late, so it made sense that it would not continue to apply now.

He gave a groggy, "You're back. Morning."

Roger responded, "Good morning. Sleep well?"

The wolf nodded at him. He laid on his back and stretched, his arms coming into contact with a bit of furniture. He smiled softly.

The fox gulped. "I, uh... went to get some stuff at the store. I wanted to ask you something...."

Hunter motioned, grabbed the fox, and pulled him into a hug. He nipped at his cheek and said, "What's up?"

Roger blushed. "Well, you know, all those things we talked about, like the taking steps and taking it slow and stuff. And we talked a little about what it'd eventually lead up to, right? Though I guess I didn't get into any specifics."

There was a nod in response, and then silence, prompting him to continue.

"Well," the fox said, "I kind of... want to try... well, I want us to try a bit more, if that's okay with you, I mean."

"What do you mean?" the wolf asked. Roger assumed he was still waking and attempting to figure out the situation.

"You know, with uh..." he tried to think of a way to say it without actually saying it. "Like what we did yesterday, just much more... close."

The wolf squeezed him in his arms. "Closer than this?"

"W-well, yeah," the fox stammered. He looked away and softly mumbled, "Because one of us would be...." He did not finish his sentence, which piqued the wolf's intrigue.

Still, Hunter did not press for information. He just smiled and said, "I think being closer would be nice."

"Yeah, b-but there's only one time in your life where... where it's your first time, and I don't even know if you'd really enjoy it to begin with, so you'd pretty much be wasting that one time on me, and-" the fox said, but he was cut off.

"It's fine," Hunter said. "I trust you, because I love you. We've already done a bunch of stuff I haven't done before, and I've loved it. I'd probably like this, too."

Roger had held his breath, but now he let it out. "I just don't want you to do something you'd regret. I'd feel so guilty: I don't want to do anything with you that you wouldn't want to do."

The wolf nodded, and the fox continued, "Here, I'll... you know what, I found some videos and stuff online, to try and learn how to do it, if we ever got up... to that point. Maybe we could watch one and you could see if you would be interested?"

There was a nod.

The fox turned on his computer, which had not actually been off, just sleeping. He turned the screen to the wolf. It was far, but it sufficed, though Hunter had to sit up to adequately view it.

He browsed through some of his files, thought about showing him some of it, but thought against it, as some of the videos were corrupt or broken, and some were of poor quality or of fetishes that he did not really share but had not deleted yet.

Instead, he looked online, through his history, and tried to remember just which one he had thought had been interested, exciting, or even educational. He came across a few that might have worked.

He showed him first a video with a couple of felines in it. Roger thought at first they were a bit elegant, at least in physique, and at least much more closely resembled a female, which was what helped him transition into it, but it did not look as if the wolf were too interested. Something about the barbs made it seem painful to him.

He tried another. Mixed species, one canid, one ursine. There was a fairly heavy size difference, but that was irrelevant. Roger chose this one because it showed what needed to be shown closely. He looked over to see if Hunter was reacting at all to it.

He seemed interested, as he was with any movie of sorts, but a quick glance downward allowed Roger to acknowledge that he was indeed interested, if a little.

"That's kind of what I'm talking about," the fox said. He turned off the video and the monitor, done with what he needed it for.

Roger sheepishly asked, "So... what do you think?"

Hunter thought for a moment. "It looked... like something fun."

The fox laughed softly. "Yeah, that's the general consensus. But still, the issue is, there's only a first time to do that with someone once. I don't really know if I'm... how do I put it? Worthy? I don't know if, you know, being the first time should be... with me."

He was pulled back over to lie in bed with the wolf. "Have you done it before?" he asked the fox.

Roger shook his head. "No, haven't done any of that stuff with anyone before."

"Then why would you want to do something with me? I'd be your first, too, right?" the wolf asked him.

The fox nodded. "Yeah, but I... there's no doubt in my mind I want my first time to be with you, but...."

He felt a lick on his cheek, and he heard the wolf utter, "I feel the same way."

Roger sighed and a smile crept up on his face. "Then... then should we try it?"

The only response he obtained was a smile.
