The airport was bustling with activity. Furs left and right were walking hurriedly to board their flight or try and get through security on time. A fox and a puma made their way into the line for security. The fox as named Evan. Evan was gay, at first glance you couldn't tell that he was though. He wore a plain red shirt with some black shorts to go with it. Evan also had a boyfriend. He was a wonderful boyfriend, he loved him very much and couldn't ask for a better person to be with. His boyfriend just happened to be the puma that was in front of him in line. Riley was his name, he was a puma that was just a bit taller than his fox, and had tan fur while his fox was orange. Riley had a tan tail with a orange tip, and Evan's tail had a white tip like most foxes. However, unlike most furs Riley and Evan had something special in common. If you could see their ankles you would see that Evan had a tan ring of fur on his ankles to match Riley's fur color, and Riley had a orange ring of fur on his ankles to match Evan's fur color. As they approached the security station they slipped off their shoes and heaved their suitcases onto the conveyor belt. Riley's stuff went through and everything was okay. However when Evan's stuff went through, a buzzer sounded. Evan froze in place and a large guard dog walked over to Evan. It was a german shepard, he towered over Evan.

"Do you know what's in your bag?" The dog asked in a deep voice. Evan was paralyzed, but some how he managed to say "Uh....S-s-shampoo?" Evan replied quietly. The guard sighed and took out the shampoo bottle and threw it away. He directed Evan over to a place where he would be searched for anything else. The shepherd walked away and the a Large muscular tiger with gloves walked up to Evan.

"Please raise your arms to shoulder height, and just stay still." The tiger started to pat Evan down,Evan just stood there frozen. Meanwhile, Riley was watching all this happen and Riley started to giggle to himself. The look on Evan's face was priceless. He was blushing at the tiger touching him, and was shocked at how big the tiger was. Riley continued to laugh for a while.

Finally it ended, Evan collected his things and met with Riley again.

"You seemed to enjoy that search a lot my fox." Riley teased. Evan just blushed and stayed silent. They walked over to the gate that their flight was in and sat down. Evan crossed his arms and looked away from Riley. Riley could tell that Evan was mad at him, and so he leaned and whispered into Evan's ear, "You can't be angry at me forever my fox." Evan just sighed and turned away more. Riley whispered again, "Don't make me tackle you and give you a loving attack at the airport." That caught Evan's attention, he quickly turned and faced Riley and replied,

"You wouldn't dare."

"Then you better stop being angry and pouty." Evan sighed and hugged his puma.

"Fine, i'm better now." Evan replied while holding Riley's paws. The couple waited for a few minutes and finally the plane was ready to board. The couple got in line and waited for a bit. Evan was the 23rd person to board and Riley was the 24th. Riley went to the back of the plane found an empty window seat and took it. Riley quickly followed and sat next to Evan.

"Not giving me a window seat?" Riley said.

"Its what you get for teasing me." Evan said.

Riley just laughed, he would tease his fox more. As the seats started to fill Evan and Riley wondered who would sit next to them. Their questions where answered when a average sized deer walked up and asked if he could sit next to Riley. The couple said sure and the deer sat down. He had brown fur with some white spots scattered around his body. He looked rather young, maybe around 17. He introduced himself as Ryan. He said that he was visiting a friend in Dallas, they were going to see a concert together. Evan and Riley explained what they were doing. The deer nodded and then as the flight was about to start the flight attendant walked around and made sure everyone fastened their seat belts. The flight attendant was a fox like Evan, except her fur was a rose red. She asked if everyone had their seat belts on and the three of them said that they did. As she walked away Evan could see that she had a great body, an hourglass figure, and her fur looked well kept. The plane started to take off and Evan squeezed Riley's paw. Riley squeezed back and the plane lurched up and forward. The plane left the airport behind and took off for Texas. Once their Evan and Riley would have another flight back to their home in Colorado. Once in the air everyone seemed to relax. Electronics could be turned on again and adults turned on their cell phones or laptops and children eagerly turned on their handheld games.

After a bit of breath catching, Evan glanced out the window. It was an amazing sight. The earth seemed to curve along the horizon, the clouds spread out along the light blue sky, the ground underneath them slowly crawling along. Evan stared in awe, it was quite a sight. A little bit later the flight attendant came around and asked if anyone wanted something to drink. Riley asked for a mountain dew, Ryan asked for a coke, and Evan just wanted some water. "Just water my fox? You on a diet or something?" Riley teased. Evan just shrugged, "Not very thirsty I guess."

Riley just shrugged and waited for his drink to come. The attendant came by with everyone's drink and started to hand them out. After they had received their drinks she asked if anyone wanted any food. Ryan and Riley said no thanks, but Evan wanted some peanuts.

"Why you ordering peanuts my fox?" Riley asked.

"I'm not sure, just hungry I guess."

"Or is it because you like the attendant?" Riley teased again. Evan just ignored Riley.

"Oh i know you would love a nice vixen like her, maybe settle down, have some kids, i know your parents would love that." Riley teased more. Evan just rolled his eyes and looked out the window, taking a deep breath.

"What's the matter my fox? Everything okay?" Riley asked concerned.

"Oh, i'm okay my puma." Evan replied, not even looking at Riley.

"You're not okay, my fox, what's wrong?"

"It's okay my puma, i just need to learn to lighten up."

"Oh no its my fault, i went to far, i need to make things up." Riley replied as he opened the peanut bag for Evan.

Evan noticed that then decided to tease Riley, "What, you going to feed me my peanuts?" Riley just giggled and said, "That's better my fox."

"We need to lighten the mood anyway, after all we just made it through Virginia."

"Yes we did my fox, we made it together."

The couple sat there during the flight and they both were in a good mood again.

The flight was about to land and everyone had to turn electronics off again. Groans could be heard but everyone turned stuff off. After they landed safely Riley and Evan got off. Next they collected their stuff and headed for the other gate. Once there, Evan sat down and Riley handed him all the stuff.

"I'll be right back, i'm going to get both of us lunch." Riley said.

"Oh thanks" Evan replied. He started to hand Riley some money but Riley turned it down. "I'm paying my fox."

"Oh, thank you so much my puma." Evan said.

Riley disappeared into the crowed of people while Evan waited. A few minutes later Riley returned with two boxes and two drinks in each hand. Riley handed Evan a drink and a box. When Evan looked more closely he saw that the box was actually filled with chicken nuggets, from McDonalds.

"Thanks my puma" Evan said while taking a sip from his drink and a bite out of a chicken nugget.

"No problem my lovely fox." Riley replied.

The couple ate their food and waited for the plane to arrive. After they finished Riley politely threw away all the trash and returned back to Evan. They chatted for a while as they waited. Finally the plane was ready to board. Riley and Evan climbed on and This time Riley got the window seat. This flight wasn't as crowded so no one sat next to the couple. A different flight attendant walked by, this time it was a female puma, her fur was a dark tan unlike Riley's which was a light tan, she also had quite an impressive chest and rump. After she left Evan turned and looked at Riley with a large grin on his face. Riley just glared at his fox and said, "No comments." Evan just laughed and said, "Fine"

The plane was getting ready to take off and as usual all electronics had to be turned off. Once that was finished the plane launched into the sky. Evan and Riley held paws the entire time of take off just like last flight. However once the plain was in the air, Evan started to feel very sleepy. He laid his head back and closed his eyes. The smooth flying helped Evan slip into a deep sleep.

Riley watched his fox sleep and he had to admit, Evan did look cute when he slept. The peaceful expression on his face and the steady rise and fall of his chest. Riley watched as Evan quietly slept through the whole flight.

When Evan awoke, the flight attendant was walking around making sure everyone has their seat belt on. Evan glanced and he saw that he had his seat belt on. He looked over and saw Riley looking at him.

"Good morning sleepy head." Riley said.

"Good morning my puma." Evan said while stretching.

"You look cute while sleeping." Riley said to Evan.

Evan just blushed and said, "You watched me sleep?"

"Yeah, sorry if that's weird." Riley replied.

"Oh its okay." Evan said.

As the plane began to land Riley and Evan help paws again. They gave each other a loving squeeze and the plane landed. They sat there and waited to get off the plane for a bit. Once everyone i front of them left the couple grabbed their stuff and walked off the plane. They started to head towards the place in the parking garage where Riley's mom said she would be. They walked outside and Riley surprised Evan with a big hug. Evan was a bit shocked but returned the favor and hugged Riley. Riley whispered into Evan's ear, "We made it my fox, we made it."

"Yes we did my puma." Evan replied as hugged Riley. The hug eventually ended and the couple began to walk. The went into the garage happy to be back in Colorado. They found Riley's mom's car with ease and packed all their stuff into it. The drive back was filled with questions that were quickly answered with a few stories being told here and there. After about an hour of driving they finally made it to Riley's house. Riley's mom was nice enough to carry in most of the stuff they had packed. Evan got out of the car and yawned, he was exhausted. Riley saw that, and surprised Evan by picking him up. Evan managed to kiss Riley on the lips as he was being carried. They went straight into Riley's room and decided to call it a night.

Riley laid Evan gently down on the bed. The small fox had fallen asleep while being carried inside. Riley saw the expression of pure bliss on Evan, obviously happy to be carried by his puma. He turned off the lights and slipped into bed next to his sleeping fox. He gave Evan a quick kiss on the cheek and wrapped his arms around the fox.

It was good to finally be home.
