Pure Love
Pure Love

He said that its ok to love whoever you want as long as its pure...
I ran that thought through my head over and over again. Is it really ok.... to love whoever I want? I was walking through the streets of Manhattan late one night. Instead of taking the bus home off of 6th and Main, I decided to take the long route through the park. I wasn't much for public transportation anyway. The fur on my face moved wildly around as the cold breeze blew harshly against it. Grasping my coat tightly, I continued to walk towards my apartment. The apartment I lived in wasn't much to go up and arms about. It was a small, one bedroom place with a tiny kitchen and I guess what you could call a living room. I don't know, my idea of a living area isn't a room full of beanbag chairs and a TV without cable. Even though I didn't have much, I couldn't complain. I mean it could be worse. Times were hard at the moment. Going to college for music and working full time isn't what people call a comfortable living. The stress could be so much at times, you could cut it with a knife. But hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, as the saying goes. As I continued on my path through the park, I saw out of the corner of my eye a street sign with the words "2nd and Martin Luther Blvd.". I tell myself that I still have a long way to go as my fur start to stand on its end. As I turned my gaze back in front of me I froze. Not even 10 yards from me was a group of thugs probably looking for some kicks. Their thin, beady eyes gave a cold and faint glow in the moonlight as they turned their attention onto me. Scared and with nowhere to go, I stood very still hoping they would just walk away and seek some other endeavor. The thugs smiled and moved towards me, their fangs showing with each snicker. They were three gray wolves with ragged fur and disheveled clothing. I stepped back, ears lowered and tail squeezed against my leg. "What the hell am I going to do?"
As they surrounded me, one of the wolves came up to my face and said in a confident voice, "Well look what we got here boys, a cute looking fennec, all alone. Shouldn't you be home with your mother or something, little man?"
As he chuckled, I could smell the alcohol emanating from his breath.
"What, got nothing to say? How about you start by giving me your wallet."
I glance around and see no escape. Even if I gave him my wallet, I am sure that they wouldn't stop there.
Turning to him I said, "Please... I don't want any trouble."
He laughed and looked at his buddies. Grinning, he turned his back on me and said, "Really, is that a fact?"
Suddenly he whipped back and took a swing at me. I dodged his punch, but then suddenly stopped moving. My back tensed up and my voice went hoarse. One of his buddies wailed me hard into my back, leaving me breathless. Another hit to the face landed me on the ground. They ran up and started kicking me. My body began to ache, and pain started shooting through my spine. It hurt so badly, I couldn't even cry if I wanted to. Then suddenly, everything went black and thus the story that changed the face of my life began...
The fennec woke up in what seemed to be someone's bed. Eyes glazed and barely able to open them, he tried to make out his surrounding. Unable to do so, his large ears picked up a faint sound in the distance, coming closer and closer with each waking second. Then a figure appeared in front of him. It appeared to look over at him and began to speak.
It said in relief, "I am glad that you have finally awakened."
The fennec took his paws and rubbed them gently against his eyes. As he reopened them, their gaze fell upon a tall, black male wolf. The wolf smiled as he sat himself upon the bed. The fennec looked up at him confused, wondering how to react. The young black wolf was attractive with silver stripes running along his cheeks, ears and parts of his arms. White fur ran from his chin, down past his stomach and along the bottom part of his tail. From his elbow down was also fur as white as snow. As the fennec looked at him more closely, he couldn't help but notice his crystal blue eyes. The more he stared at them, the more he thought he'd lose himself. The black wolf looked over at him with a confused look on his face and said, "Umm are you ok...?".
The fennec shook his head, feeling quite embarrassed over his actions.
"Well good! I thought I lost you again for a second. So what's your name, mine is Lance."
"My name is Fenove, and thank you for helping me out."
"Hey don't mention it. All you need to worry about right now is resting a bit to regain your strength. As you do that, I will go make us some lunch."
Lance, after rising from the bed, headed to the door only to take a quick glance back at Fenove. He was pretty tall and very cute. Smiling warmly, he walked into the kitchen. Fenove stood up for a while clenching his side with his paw. The bruises he received from those wolves still hurt pretty bad. He thought to himself that it would be a while before he would fully recover. After lying down for a bit, he turned his attention to the door where he then slowly proceeded, deciding to go see how Lance was doing. He peered in from outside the door and watched Lance at work in the kitchen. He smiled a bit thinking of how nice of a guy he was, even to a total stranger. Looking around the house from where he stood, he could see that Lance lived alone in a one bedroom apartment like him, although Lance's apartment was very nice and located in a better part of town. Lance's eye caught a glimpse of Fenove standing over in the corner of the room.
Turning to him, he smiled contently and said, "Well now, I think its time to have something to eat don't you think?"
With a faint smile, Fenove moved from the corner of the room and joined Lance at the table for some well-needed nourishment. After lunch, Fenove thanked Lance generously for his kindness, but told him that he must return to his apartment. Lance understood and saw Fenove to the door. Before he left, Lance called out to Fenove asking if he'd like to hang out again sometime, to which Fenove yelled back that he'd like that a lot as he waved goodbye.
Well a couple of days had passed since their last encounter. Fenove was busy doing DJ work on the side to pay for school and rent, and Lance was finishing projects for his company. Lance's life was hard in another sense than Fenove. He worked as a computer animator for a movie company located within the city. The job required a lot of hours and sometimes overtime based on the cut date for that particular project, though he didn't complain. Despite the pains of the job, he enjoyed it quite thoroughly. After their encounter, Fenove couldn't stop thinking about Lance. It had been a very long time since he met someone as kind as him, although something bugged him a bit. He never really dated anyone serious and found himself liking Lance more than just a friend. With that in mind, he didn't know how to feel about liking a guy. His parents, as old-fashioned as they were, would never in a million years condone such a thought. He pondered it over for a bit as he continued to mix some music off his computer. He kept going over the thought many times over. Was it ok to like another guy? He thought about one of his friends that was in a same sex partnership. He remembered his friend telling him that it is ok to love whoever you want, as long as it's pure. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he returned to his music. He had a gig in a couple of days, so he needed to get to work.
Saturday rolled around and the city was as bustling as ever. Fenove grabbed his equipment and headed down to the club a few blocks from his place. The club, Furry Ecstasy, was a fairly well known and popular place to hang out. It was home to the sweet sounds of any techno-based music and didn't really condone any other music genre. Walking into the club, Fenove saw tons of ravers on the floor showing off their glow stick skills while others pounded drinks at the bar. Neon lights and lighting effects decorated and filled the place, making for an upbeat, but comfortable atmosphere. Fenove loved this place. Other than being a DJ, he too was an avid raver and usually came to the club to chill out after school. Well the night progressed and so did the crowd. Eventually it was Fenove's turn to entertain everyone with his twist on trance, which everyone was thoroughly enjoying as they crowded to the floor. Not too far from the club, Lance was getting off work with his good buddy Vincent. They walked down along the block and came across Furry Ecstasy. Vincent nudged him and said, "hey Lance, why don't we check out this place and have a couple of drinks."
"I don't know man, it's kind of late and I had a long day," Lance sayid as he looked down at his watch.
"Come on Lance, you know as well as I do that you could use a couple of drinks. Besides, it looks kind of fun," said Vincent.
"Fine you win, but you're buying," Lance replied.
Lance and Vincent entered the club and grabbed a table next to the railing that separated them from the dance floor. Lance admitted that he'd never been to a club like this before, but at the same time was thoroughly enjoying it. He tossed his head back and forth a bit, wagging his tail and tapping his paw to the beat.
"Hey Vincent, this music is really good."
"I know what you mean man. That kid is pretty damn talented."
Lance turned his attention to the DJ to get a good look at him. Once he saw who it was, he sprayed some of his drink onto the table. There he gazed upon Fenove. Vincent shifted a bit in his seat to avoid the alcohol projecting from Lance's muzzle.
"Lance what the hell is going on?"
Turning to Vincent with a surprised look, Lance replied, "Vincent that is Fenove. Remember, the guy I told you I brought back to my place after I found him at the park."
Looking over to Fenove, Vincent smiled and nudged Lance. "Well you know what you got you do right? Go over there and talk to him. And anyway I am going to head back to my place and get some rest, so take care man."
"Ok Vincent, you take care as well."
Vincent headed out the door and Lance proceeded towards Fenove. Moving along the crowds, he was able to get a better look at the young fennec. Fenove was a thin looking guy with light orangish-brown fur. A darker red fur covered him from the middle to the tip of his ears and the tip of his tail. His hair, which flailed around a bit, was kind of long with silver highlights running through it. Lance noticed that he was wearing a cross between a DJ and raver outfit, which seemed to follow his interests as well as the look. After a couple more songs, Fenove was done for the night. He picked up his stuff and directed himself down the steps. As he was walking down, he noticed someone was waiting for him. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was none other than Lance. With a pleasant smile on his face, he walked towards him.
"It's really nice to see you again Lance."
"Likewise, and I have to say, Fenove, you were really great up there."
Fenove blushed a bit and asked if Lance wouldn't mind giving him a hand putting the equipment in the car. After helping Fenove, they both went inside and chatted over a couple of drinks. They talked about how things were going in their life and the normal bullshit. With the time growing closer to 2am, they both agreed it was about time to head back. Lance and Fenove made their way to Fenove's car and then stood there for a bit. Fenove felt compelled to say something, but couldn't due to his mixed feelings. But then Lance turned his head up towards the moonlit sky and said, "Hey Fenove, I don't have to work tomorrow, so I was wondering if you like to go out and do something - just the two of us."
Fenove, taken aback, lowered his head a bit, for he didn't know what to say. Certain thoughts began to race through his head as he fought with himself on what to say. After a long pause, he shook his head to clear his thoughts. He told Lance that would be nice and asked if he could meet him at his place around 12pm. With a satisfying smile, he nodded, said goodnight to Fenove and began his walk back to his apartment.
Fenove returned to his apartment and got himself situated. He overslept for the past couple days, leaving him no time to tidy up. Clothes decorated the floor, his bed was disheveled and dishes stacked the sink. Seeing that he didn't feel very tired, he proceeded to clean up the place. After a bit of cleaning, thoughts about Lance started occupying his mind again. Lance, to him, was someone special that he was very lucky to find nowadays. After Fenove bent over to pick up his shirt from the floor, he sat onto the bed and suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. He thought there for a second, staring at the floor with an unsettled look. Fenove couldn't believe it, for he was falling in love with Lance. When a person finds someone special you would think they would be overjoyed with this revelation, but instead Fenove began to get upset. He didn't know how to react to his feelings towards Lance. He was a guy and he was a guy. Was that right? What would his parents think? How would his friends react? Would he truly be happy? These questions and more invaded his thoughts. He stood up and threw his shirt hard against the wall in frustration. He asked himself over and over, why is this happening to him now? After a couple of deep breaths, Fenove realized that nothing would be resolved by worrying about it right now and letting his feelings overwhelm him. The best thing to do from here was to go to bed and see what tomorrow brought. As he curled up into his bed and buried his muzzle into the pillow, he hoped that he would be strong enough to make the right decisions.
Morning rolled around and Lance picked up Fenove from his apartment. Lance smiled as Fenove entered the vehicle, telling him that he hoped he was ready, for he had the whole day already planned out. They started out hitting the local zoo to see the new exhibits. Later on they drove over to one of the nicer restaurants in downtown that had a live band playing as customers enjoyed their meals. When night settled in, Lance took Fenove to the local park for a late night scroll. The night was beautiful. Since the park was located on the outskirts of the city, one could see the stars clearly and the moon as it bathed the park in all its brilliance. Fenove couldn't remember that last time he was so happy. As they walked, a big smile ran across his face as his tail wagged back and forth. Lance noticed the gleeful look on Fenove's face. Smiling back, he placed his paw around Fenove and pulled him close. Now Fenove still wasn't fully comfortable with his feelings, but for once he didn't care. The whole day was such a great experience; he didn't want anything to ruin it. He took his head and rested it against Lance's shoulder as they chatted a bit more before returning to the car. Well the day had ended and Lance pulled up in front of Fenove's apartment. Fenove turned towards Lance and smiled.
"Lance I wanted to let you know that I had a great time. Thank you so much."
"Well Fenove, I am glad you had a great time and I hope to do something again soon."
Fenove agreed that he would like that a lot. As he turned to get out of the car, he suddenly felt a warm paw brush against his muzzle. Lance's paw turned Fenove's attention back onto him and caressed the side of his cheek. Holding his face there, he leaned forward and gave Fenove a gentle lick on his cheek.
"Take care and goodnight Fenove."
"....y...ou too Lance, goodnight."
Fenove got out of the car and waved goodbye as Lance drove off. He moved his paw and guided it along his cheek fur where Lance licked him. Though a bit shocked, anyone could see a smile begin to crack as Lance's car disappeared into the distance.
Lance and Fenove continued to see each other, whenever time permitted. Sometimes Fenove would make his way down the animation studio to see Lance's work and Lance would come to the club when Fenove was the DJ. As the weeks passed by, Fenove's feelings for Lance grew. The difficult questions that once bombarded and troubled him were becoming nothing more than a fleeting memory. He was happy and truly cared about Lance. More and more he believed what his friend told him long ago...that it's ok to love whoever you want as long as it's pure. He knew that Lance had feelings for him and now he could finally say the feelings were mutual. One thing stood in his way though and that was his parents. Fenove knew that if he was going to go through with this choice, he had to tell them of his feelings for Lance before they came down in a couple of weeks to visit him. Fenove stared at the phone in his apartment for a bit. His hands slowly began to shake and his nervousness was causing him to sweat. He took a breath and called his parents house. His mother answered the phone and was delighted to hear from her son. She went about asking the typical mother questions like "How is college?", "Have you been eating right?", and so on. Fenove clasped the phone tightly with both paws and in a meek and bumbling voice told his mother that he needed to tell her something. His mother, worried over the sudden change, asked if everything was ok. A tear rolled down his cheek due to the anxiety he felt at that moment. Taking another breath, he told her that he was in love with a guy named Lance and expressed his feelings for him to her. A long silence fell over the phone. His mother gently raised the receiver back to her ear and in confused voice replied, "Fenove, what do you mean that you are in love with a guy. Is there something that you're not telling me? Do you need to see a counselor?" Fenove leaned against the wall and lowered his head without saying a word. He knew that his mother wouldn't understand. All of a sudden, Fenove heard a loud uproar in the background. His heart stopped and he held his breath. He knew that his mother must have just told his dad. Suddenly, Fenove heard his dad rip the phone from his mother's paws.
"Fenove, what the hell is wrong with you boy? There is no god-forsaken way you are ever permitted to see that guy again. Do you hear me? I am not going to have my son become some pansy ass faggot."
Fenove slid to the floor and hung up the phone. Pulling his head to his knee, he wrapped his arms around them and whimpered loudly. Tears covered his face, leaving his vision blurred. Why couldn't his parents understand? Did he not have the right to make his own choices and be happy? Fenove was hurting horribly, but was not broken. He made his choice and he wasn't going to change it for anyone. As he hugged his knees closer to his head and sat there on the dark corner of apartment, he could only pray that his parents would eventually understand and accept his decision.
Well as a couple more days went by, Lance ended up inviting Fenove over to his place for some dinner. Fenove felt that this night was his chance to finally put his troubles to rest and fully embrace his feelings for Lance. Night came around and Fenove knocked on the door to Lance's apartment. The door opened and Lance smiled at the sight of the fennec at his door.
"I am glad that you made it here safely. If you want to take off your jacket, just rest it on the chair over in the corner."
Fenove walked in and saw an impressive display of food spread across the dining room table. The sweet aroma of steak and other delectable treats filled the entire room. Fenove stood there for a second and realized that he started to drool. Embarrassed, he wiped the drool from his face and laid his jacket on the chair. Chuckling at the sight, Lance says, "well I guess I don't have to ask you if you're hungry."
Fenove grinned and sat down at the table. The dinner was absolutely wonderful. He never knew that Lance was such a great cook. He ate so much; he felt that he'd be good for a week. After dinner, Fenove helped Lance clear the table. Lance then got to work cleaning the dishes as Fenove went on ahead and made some tea. When all was taken care of, they both ended up gravitating to Lance's room. Sitting in the room with Lance made him feel safe, but at the same time nervous. This was his chance to say what he felt that could also lead to a whole new beginning for him. Fenove took his mug and placed it onto the bureau next to him. He then looked at Lance and after a deep breath said, "umm Lance can I talk to you about something?"
"Sure Fenove, what's on your mind?"
"Well ever since I have been with you, I've never been happier. Though I've been happy, at the same time I feel confused and afraid. I didn't know what to feel or how to react. I've never been with a guy before nor ever contemplated the possibility until I met you. I worried constantly about what my family and others would think of me. I summoned up the courage and told my parents a few nights ago of my feelings for you and they shunned me. My father called me a faggot and acted as if I was pretty much dead to him. Despite that, I'm not going to deny my feelings nor change the choices I made for myself. I wanted to let you know that I put those troubled thoughts behind me...I truly love you Lance."
Lance looked deep into Fenove's eyes and began to tear a bit. He was well aware of the mixed feelings Fenove had for him and knew it was hard. He knew all too well the troubles and hardships that can follow in such an engagement. Knowing this, Lance tried really hard to make him happy and not uncomfortable. He remembered his father and what happened upon hearing that he was gay at the age of 17. His father busted into his room screaming and began to beat the living shit out of him to the point of unconsciousness. When he was finally able to move around again that night, he picked himself up, packed his things and ran away from home. Tired and bleeding badly, he was practically alone with only his friend at the time to turn to. From there he worked a couple of years until he pulled enough money together to go to college. He studied computer animation in hopes to make something of himself and follow his dreams. Because of past experiences, Lance learned to accept others regardless of their lifestyle choices and be there for those that are in need. These experiences, as horrific as they sound, did make him into the loving person he was today. To Lance, that was something he was thankful for. He had wished and waited for so long, hoping that Fenove would share the same feelings towards him. Now, he felt as if his wish was answered. Lance took his paw and ran it along Fenove's cheek and hair. Fenove turned towards him and moved in closer. Their muzzles pressed together as they both kissed passionately. Taking his paw, Fenove glided it across Lance's sides as Lance continued to rub Fenove's ear. After a bit, Fenove began to slowly unbutton Lance's shirt and then remove his pants. As he did this, he murred ever so softly and nipped a bit at Lance's neck. Fully unclothed, Lance pulled Fenove close and kissed him again. He looked into his eyes and began to run his tongue along Fenove's cheek. His paws traveled along Fenove's waist as he pulled off his shirt and then removed his pants. Standing together, bare to one another, Lance laid Fenove down on the bed. Lying down on top of him, he caressed his arms and sides as he licked along his neck, nipping gently. Fenove leaned his head back a bit exposing his neck more to Lance's nips. His paw found its way to Lance's, gripping tightly. Fenove and Lance's eyes gazed once again at one another. Lance could tell by looking at Fenove what he wanted. Lance stood up off the bed and Fenove sat up. Fenove took his paw and rubbed the side of Lance's leg. Leaning forward, he began to stroke Lance's shaft as he massaged his balls. Lance arched his back a bit over the pleasure of each stroke. His cock began to protrude from his sheath and eventually emerged completely. Fenove took Lance's fully erected cock into his muzzle. His tongue began to caress the sides as he moved it back and forth slowly. Lance began to murr a bit more loudly as he ran his paws along Fenove's head fur. He bent down and pulled Fenove away from his cock. Laying him back down on the bed, he raised both of Fenove's leg. Leaning down, he took his moist, hot tongue and ran it along Fenove's tailhole. Fenove gasped a bit before murring loudly. He never felt something like this before. Lance continued to press his wet tongue against his tailhole, sometimes letting his tongue penetrate it. Fenove squirmed a bit and clasped the sheets on the bed. Lance could hear the sounds of Fenove's pant get heavier with each run of the tongue. Once he felt that Fenove's tailhole was moist enough, he leaned back over onto Fenove's stomach and gave him a little nuzzle.
"Are you sure you want to do this Fenove?"
Taking his paw and placing it on Lance's cheek, he smiled and replied, "Yes I am sure. I want to share this with you. Something I have never shared with anyone else."
Lance raised Fenove's legs over his shoulder and placed his cock against his tailhole. Taking his cock, he moved forward, and it began to slowly penetrate Fenove's hot and moist tailhole. Fenove closed his eyes a bit and gritted his teeth. He could feel Lance's cock slowly spreading him open with each inch. Lance took his paws and clasped them to Fenove's paws. Fenove griped Lance's paws tightly as his cock entered fully. Lance began to gently move back and forth, not wanting to hurt him. After a moment, what began as a slight pain began to subside. Fenove loosened his grip and opened his eyes to find Lance smiling warmly at him. Fenove smiled back warming, overwhelmed with the closeness and pleasure he was experiencing. Lance moved his head down and their muzzles locked, kissing one another as he continued to thrust deeper, but just as gently. Lance then leaned even closer, murring into Fenove's ear and giving it a little lick before uttering the words "I love you Fenove". Lance thrust a bit faster and pressed his cheek against Fenove's. Fenove took his paws and wrapped them around Lance, squeezing tightly. Surges of immense pleasure filled Fenove's entire body as he whimpered. Precum began to drip from Fenove's fully erect cock as it began to pulsate. Lance's pants grew heavier and his body tensed more with each thrust. Taking his paw, he grasped Fenove's paw and with one final hard thrust, both Fenove and Lance came. Lance's cum filled Fenove's tailhole as cum from Fenove's cock coated his own fur. Lance and Fenove both took a deep breath before looking passionately at one another again. Lance kissed Fenove on the muzzle before slowly pulling out. He then leaned down and cleaned the cum off of Fenove's cock and fur before lying down beside him. Lance grabbed the covers and pulled it over the both of them. Fenove then snuggled close to Lance, burying his head into his chest. Before they drifted off to sleep, Fenove put his arm across Lance's stomach, squeezed tightly and in a soft voice says, "I love you too Lance."
Soon after the intimate night they shared together, Fenove and Lance started going out as a couple. They spent most of their days from then on, enjoying the closeness of each other's company. On their days off, they would drive up to the park to relax and watch the sunset slowly disappear into the horizon. When Fenove's parents came down to visit, he sat down with them and discussed his relationship and the choices he made for himself. His parents, still not fully happy with their son's decision, apologized first off for their behavior. Even though they had hoped their son would reconsider, they knew deep down that their son's happiness was what mattered most. They saw how much happier Lance made Fenove and over time ended up accepting him as part of the family. Things to Fenove worked out better than he could ever imagine. Spring rolled around and Fenove received two tickets to see his favorite band, The Black Muzzles, perform live at the stadium. Excited, he ran to Lance's place after class and told him the news. Lance looked at Fenove bouncing around the apartment and chuckled a bit. In a teasing voice Lance says, "Well I don't know Fenove, I think I might be too busy to go with you to the concert."
Fenove, playing along with Lance's game, went up to him and lowered his ear, giving the most pathetically cute face he could make.
"Hey Fenove, that's not fair. Stop it, you're going to make me feel guilty." He grabbed Fenove and playfully tackled him to the floor. Wagging his tail, he gave Fenove a lick.
"Ok then, off to the concert we go."
When night rolled around, Fenove and Lance hopped into the car to go see The Black Muzzles. The streets were busy that night and traffic was bad in certain areas due to the rainstorm. Lance made a turn off the main road to hopefully get away from the congestion. As he was turning, a car was moving quite fast down the road. It seemed as if the person wasn't minding the road, as he grew closer to the light. Then all of a sudden, crash...
The vehicle ran through the red light, smashing into Lance's side of the car. Lance's car spun around and crashed into a streetlight before fully coming to a stop. Fenove, fairly disoriented, could barely hear or see straight. He turned his head towards the driver's seat and could just see that Lance was not moving at all. Tears started to stream from his eyes as he forced his halfway numb paw onto Lance's paw. He called out to Lance and began to cry more and more as he received no response. Then, Fenove grew dizzy and passed out from the trauma he suffered due to the crash. A day had passed since the accident when Fenove woke up in the hospital. The room he was placed in was pure white and the sun bathed the room in its warm glow. He looked around for Lance, but to no avail. He remembered they were both in a crash, but nothing after that. After a couple of minutes, a doctor came in and saw that Fenove has finally awoken. He sat with him and explained that he suffered from a concussion, but thankfully there was no permanent damage. With a relieved look Fenove said, "Well I am glad to hear that, but where is Lance? Is he ok?"
The doctor grew silent and averted his gaze. He replied, "Lance suffered greatly from the accident. The car hit him dead on, breaking a couple of ribs and causing trauma to his head and vital organs. Right now, he is conscious, but I don't how much longer he has. I am sorry Fenove, but it's only a matter of time before he passes on."
Fenove, upon hearing the news, burst out into tears. Why was this happening to him? He was so happy and finally found someone he cared deeply about. Was everything he strived and battled with for his relationship all for nothing? He clasped his paws to his face and cried. The doctor consoled him and said that he must be strong. He told Fenove that he must go to Lance and be with him, for that is surely what he would want. After a few moments, Fenove composed himself and wiped the tears from his eyes. He nodded softly and proceeded with the doctor to Lance's room. As Fenove entered, Lance slightly turned his gazed onto him. With a faint smile and chuckle he says, "Well I can see that nothing can keep you down."
Fenove smiles faintly back and walks to Lance's bed, placing his paw onto his.
"Lance I am so sorry for everything. If I hadn't gotten those tickets and dragged you along, this would never have happened. I am so sorry."
Tears started to fall from Fenove face as he looked over the state of Lance's condition. Lance could only smile and shake his head a tad.
"No Fenove, don't say such things. It wasn't your fault and I don't want you to ever blame yourself for what has happened. Listen to me; you made me the happiest person in world. The time I spent with you is something I will forever cherish. You must live your life happily and with no regrets."
Lance motioned Fenove down towards him as he feels his chest tighten and breath grow shorter. When Fenove bent down, Lance took his tongue and gently licked the tear from Fenove's cheek. Looking into Fenove's eyes, he whispered, "Just remember, no matter what, I will always and forever love you." With that last breath, Lance's eyes closed and the monitor gave off a single, solitary sound. Lance has passed away. Fenove broke out into tears again and dropped onto Lance's chest. There he laid, crying out to the person he loved so.
A week passed and a funeral was set for Lance. Family and friends gathered to mourn his death and offer their prayers. As everyone left, Fenove stayed back and gazed at the grave. He remembered all the good times he had and how happy he was being with him. Fenove wiped the tears from his face and spoke softly to Lance's grave.
"Lance... I wanted to tell you that I miss you so much. I will never forget everything you have done for me. You have shown me many wonderful things and taught me how to love whoever I wanted. I promise to be strong and live my life to the fullest, live a life for the both of us. I'll never forget you Lance. I will always and forever love you..."
