Sunshine Days - Chapter 8
Jonathan rubbed his eyes vigorously with his fingers, trying to work out whatever was causing the sharp, stinging sensation in them. He knew rubbing them was about as effective as scratching a mosquito bite but it was still worth the momentary alleviation.
David was walking alongside him. He gave him a gentle nudge and asked, "You alright?"
"Yeah," Jonathan said. He took his paws away from his face and blinked a couple times. His eyes watered and felt hot.
"Tired?" David asked.
"Not really. I think it's just my allergies."
"Didn't you take your allergy medication this morning?"
Jonathan nodded. "Yeah. I'll be okay."
"You sure?" David asked, looking sincere.
He nodded again, giving the pup the best reassuring smile he could muster.
All around him was a world teeming with life. Cool gentle breezes passed by him and rustled the branches of pine needles and cooled the sun against his warm fur. He could hear birds and little animals scuttling about the trees and foliage and the other cubs up ahead of them. But all Jonathan could see was a blur of earth tones. He put his glasses back on and things came into view a little crisper but the scene felt hot and unbearable in his foggy eyes. Though the magnificence and perfection of His beautiful creation was all around him, Jonathan had to admit it had a few drawbacks.
David and Jonathan held up the back of the group as they hiked up to Adam's Point. Jonathan noticed with growing unease that they kept falling further and further behind the rest of them and each time he subtly encouraged David to speed up. They would catch up whenever Leader Eddie or Lars would stop and give them a nature lesson and its relation to the word of God.
The hike felt long and torturous. Unfortunately for Jonathan and his low arches, the hike was uphill and it lasted over a mile and a half long. The trail led around the rim of Angel Lake and zigzagged northwest towards Mount Shasta. By the end, the kitten would feel like he was walking on ankles like rusty door hinges.
"So...are you alright?" David asked cautiously.
"Yes..." Jonathan said, a little irritably. "I just told you."
"No, I mean about last night."
A blush crept over the tabby's nose and his ears folded back over his head. He looked away from David and lowered his voice. "I'm fine..."
"Are you sure?" David asked. He had a concerned and anxious look on his face.
The night before, Jonathan had taken up David on his offer to join him in the Rec Room for a masturbation session but ended up getting more than he'd expected. They sat side by side on the ratty old couch, jerking off together as they had done previously. Jonathan was beginning to feel a little more at ease with the pup and a little less body shy but then the pup did something he wasn't anticipating.
"Wha-what are you doing?" The surprised kitten had asked.
David had slipped off the couch and was on all fours in front of him. He smiled a sultry smirk that worried Jonathan as he spread his knees apart with his paws.
"I'm gonna suck your cock," He said. "You'll like it, I promise."
Before the tabby could utter a syllable of protest, the pup had already wrapped his lips around the four and a half inch kittenhood and was happily sucking away. He was more surprised by the unsolicited blowjob than he was incensed. The warm canine muzzle felt amazing around his cock and was more pleasurable than his paw alone. He promptly conceded to the skilled, wet tongue that bathed his shaft and curled around his balls. The stimulation became too much rather quickly and the cat came inside the pup's muzzle without much of a warning, which really didn't upset the canine at all. When Jonathan opened his eyes he saw David smiling up at him, tail wagging joyfully, and still between his knees. He opened his mouth and showed Jonathan the little milky pool of cum swirling around in his cupped tongue. He had a little proud smile on his lips when he closed it again and crawled up on top of the kitten.
_The next surprising event of the evening was the kiss. David straddled the uncomfortable kitten and pressed his lips to his, engaging him in his first same-sex kiss. For a brief moment Jonathan enjoyed it, loving the intimate feel of hot fur against his own and the surprisingly inoffensive taste and smell of the boy's breath and lips. That moment was quickly shattered when David's tongue pushed past Jonathan's lips and slipped his salty, bitter essence into his maw. He pushed David back and sputtered a little, knowing exactly what it was that was being fed back to him. _
_"Gross!" Jonathan said, wiping his lips. _
David smiled, looking a little hurt at the same time. He giggled, "I'm sorry..."
Jonathan grimaced and smacked his lips, still tasting the acrid coating on his tongue. "Why would you do that?"
The pup's smile was now completely gone. His head ducked down remorsefully and his tail tried to tuck between his legs. "I'm sorry..." He apologized again. "I thought..."
Jonathan glared at him. Of course he was angry at him not just for the attempt to slip his own cum in his mouth but the uninvited kiss as well. He could see the regretful look on the pup's pathetic face but that didn't stop him from being angry. David went too far. He gathered up his clothes and started putting them on.
"Please don't hate me," David pleaded, "I'm sorry! I promise I won't do that again!"
_Jonathan turned to shoot down his apology and saw that the pup was now trembling. He saw the look on his face that he'd seen behind the cabin after he'd admitted he was gay. It was more than just fearful or hurt, it was also desperate. His eyes were watered and he was on his knees at the foot of the couch, almost begging like a feral canine. _
Jonathan's glowering scowl softened. He wasn't sure if it was the pup's frantic apology (sincere or not) or if it was his own penchant for forgiveness that made him decide to give David a second chance. Judging by his reaction, he probably wouldn't make the same mistake twice. 'And it really wasn't that bad,' he'd think later, lying in bed while the pup snoozed below him, 'A little unexpected but not..._terrible.'_
"Yes, I'm fine..." Jonathan said, walking a little bit ahead of the pup. He pushed his paws into his pockets intentionally.
David jogged a little to catch up with Jonathan. "I'm still really sorry about what I did...I didn't mean to make you angry."
Jonathan nodded, "I know."
"It's just that-" David started. They were cut off by a couple of voices that had dropped back in the group to where they were.
"Hey Ol' Faithful! Wet any beds lately?" Avery jeered. He and Henry smirked, nudging each other.
Jonathan glared, blushing furiously around his cheeks. He wondered if either of them realized that they'd missed out on an opportunity to fit a "Yellowstone" joke in there as well.
"Leave him alone!" David barked. Jonathan could see the fur bristling on the back of the pup's neck.
"Oooh! Big words from a pansy!" Avery goaded. "I bet you enjoy sleeping under him! Bet you like your golden showers, don't you fairy?"
David growled and started at them but Jonathan made an attempt to hold him back. The last thing he wanted was to be caught in the middle of a fight that would disrupt the hike and get them all in trouble. Avery and Henry went ahead, laughing maliciously while they left the two behind them. David fumed, scowling at them and jamming his paws into his pockets.
They walked in silence for a while, following a little further behind the rest of the group. Jonathan noticed that the pup now had a sad look on his face, looking down at the ground as he kicked up dust with his shoes.
Jonathan finally cleared his throat, "You should ignore him... That guy is just a jerk." He offered, hoping to cheer him up.
"He wasn't always a jerk," David responded softly.
Jonathan looked at him curiously. "What do you mean?"
"He wasn't always like that," David sighed and kicked a little chunk of rock out of his path. "We used to be best friends."
"What happened?" Jonathan asked.
"It's kind of a long story..."
"I think we've got time," Jonathan pressed, genuinely curious to hear what happened between them that made them so caustic towards one another.
David shrugged, staying silent for a second. "It was ages ago. Like, I don't know how many years it's been since when we first met or since we last spoke on good terms. We were both in the same school from Kindergarten to the Fifth grade but we only really started talking after we went to Sunday School together. He was pretty shy until I helped him open up. I introduced him to a lot of my friends and helped him to be more..." He waved his paw, searching his brain bank for a word.
"Extroverted?" Jonathan offered.
"Yeah, extra virgin!" He continued, "We hung out all the time. He was actually pretty cool when I got to know him. We both had a lot of the same interests and stuff. He had all sorts of cool comic books that I didn't have and his dad even had a stash that he'd smuggled out before they were thrown away. His parent's went through a 'born-again' thing and Avery told me that his parents got rid of a lot of things that were considered a 'bad influence'. But when I'd spend the night at his house we'd hide under the covers and read comics together." He smiled at the edges of his mouth, obviously enjoying the memory.
"One night I was over at his house and we were in the basement, hanging out like we normally did when I suggested that...well...since it was hot maybe we should take our clothes off. I think we were like nine or ten at the time and I was curious to see what his body looked like. He told me he thought that was a little weird but he went along with it anyway. Then he told me he actually kind of liked it, being naked in a hot basement and not having to worry about clothes. We were both scared that his parents would come downstairs and we'd get caught but...I think that was kinda the thrill of it too. It was relaxing and scary at the same time. And I really liked seeing his body and comparing it to mine.
"Whenever we'd go to each other's houses we'd always end up naked before we went to bed. At first there wasn't anything really weird about it...we'd just get naked and hang out like it was nothing. But the more and more comfortable we got, the more confident we got too. We started venturing out of the room late at night and grabbing stuff from the fridge without clothes. Sometimes we even dared each other to go out of the house and walk around the yard or street late at night. We'd also play wrestle and stuff like that." He blushed a little around the ears. "Then the wrestling got a little too...something..."
Jonathan got the hint, keeping his paws buried in his pockets.
"I had him pinned down on the bed and I was sitting on top of him. We were both hot and sweaty and...well..." He shook his paw again, trying to convey a word he didn't have in his immediate vocabulary. The word he sought was "Aroused."
"We kissed. It was a little sloppy because we were trying to imitate what we saw in movies but we kissed. It felt so great...I loved how his body pressed against mine when we did. I've never been with any girls but I don't think if I did it would ever be as amazing as how it felt when we both were there. It just felt...right. And I think he felt it too.
"We did that for a while. We didn't have sex or anything. We mainly just cuddled and kissed...we sometimes explored each other's bodies with our paws and noses but it never got any weirder than that. It was the closest I think I've ever had to a boyfriend... Avery'd probably disagree and kick my ass though but whatever." He shrugged, smiling to himself.
The smile went away. "His mom walked in on us one night as we were cuddling on the bed. I don't know how we could have done it for so long without getting caught because none of the doors had locks on them. She freaked out and spanked us both...that was weird too, getting spanked by someone else's parent. His parents told mine about what we did but they didn't really care. They joked about it a little but I wasn't punished. Mom just told me that little boys and girls just get curious about their bodies and stuff. But his parent's punished Avery super hard. They grounded him and told him I was never allowed to visit again.
"I tried to talk to Avery at school and he told me to go away. He told me that I was a 'bad influence' and that God punished queers like me. That really hurt... That was probably the first time I heard about being gay and how God doesn't like gays. But I was more hurt by how he treated me. It was like he changed overnight. He almost didn't look the same.
"I think his parents took him out of school after that because I didn't see him after the fifth grade. He spread a bunch of rumors about me around school before he left and all my friends stopped hanging out with me. I still had a few at church that either didn't believe the rumors or were fine with it...like Vince. Vince was one of the cooler guys I knew. Like the awesome older brother I wish I had."
A long silence fell between them, interjected by the sounds of nature. They both looked up at approximately the same time and saw that they had fallen quite a distance behind the rest of the group. "Come on, we better catch up to them," David said, smiling at the kitten. They changed their pace to a quick jog, hoping to catch up with them further up the trail.
