#9 of The party!

Hope you all have a great day! :3


[...]

Luna woke up quite late, which wasn't something he's used to. As he stood up from the empty bed he stretched a little and immediately regretted that decision. A huge cracking sound came from his shoulder. "Hnggg-ARGH" His eyes twitched a little and he wheezed out a yell. He stood up from the bed and made his way into the kitchen. Joe was sitting in a chair, and sipping coffee. "G'mornin'. Oh, im sorry. G'evening."

Luna chuckled a little. "Im so, so, sorry because of yesterd-"

Joe interrupted. "It's ok. It's a-okay. Do you want something? Tea? Coffee?"

"N-no." Luna held his shoulder in ache.

"Are you sure your arm is ok?" Joe worriedly asked. "I shouldn't have done that."

Luna took a deep breath as he felt around his arm, biting on his lips. He just felt pain; but it seemed to be in one piece. "Give me a day or two. It's only bruised."

"Once again, im really, really sorry." Joe excused.

"It's ok. I told you i'd be your sandbag for everything." Luna explained. "But tell me, are George and Benji awake?"

"I don't think so. Atleast they didn't come out yet." Joe giggled.

"I bet they're just snuggling." Luna shrugged, as he grabbed out a pan.

"What'cha wanna cook?" Joe interestingly asked.

"It depends." Luna said as he opened the mini-fridge.

"On what?"

"On how many eggs and how much milk we have." Luna got on his knees to get a better look on what's inside the fridge. "And today i want >real< milk. No 'male'-milk."

Joe awkwardly chuckled. "I still don't know how i managed to do that."

"You masturbated into a shot-glass. That's how you did it." Luna laughed as he grabbed out a gallon-bottle of milk. "Im gonna make pancakes!~"

"It might sound weird; but i never actually ate pancakes."

"I do not understand that whatsoever." The wolf shrugged "You could've eaten some outside. There are enough fast-food restaurants which serve breakfast."

"The thing is, Loonie, i am a sportsman. I don't go there." Joe explained, sipping the last bit of his coffee.

"C'mon. Were practically living off chinese food. And also; having a roly-poly kitty to hug is one of the most comfortable things you'll ever experience." Luna giggled as he put the pan on the oven.

"So you want me to get fat?"

"No. I want you to be like you want you to be." Luna explained as hugged the leopard.

"That sounded like a quote from alice in wonderland." Joe freed himself from the hug to place the mug he previously used into the dishwasher.

"Can you give me a big bowl? And a trowel?" Luna asked politely as he grabbed out some oil. The leopard almost immediately handed over a huge bowl and a scoop.

"Where are your spices? Like baking powder and so on."

"I got all kinds of spices in the drawer next to the fridge." Joe spoke as he pointed at the lowest drawer. Luna opened it and, indeed; all spices were ordered in small wooden cubes with all kinds of neat decoration around them. Luna was surprised. "I found some nasty stuff whilst i cleansed and i mean some really dirty shit. I mean...Twincest? Really?

But behind all of this; a beautiful artistic place is to be found." Joe was touched by the talk of the wolf. "T-thank's." He awkwardly said, rubbing the back of his head a little.

Luna searched around and found the ingredients he needed; flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.

He neatly cracked open one of the eggs and put the rest of the ingredients into the bowl.

He twirled around in the mix with a fork, until everything was mixed together.

Luna began humming a small melody; not exactly known to the leopard.

"What's that music you're humming, hummingbird? Whatever it is, it sound pretty darn awesome!" Joe gave a little clap with his paws.

"Really? I-i don't really know what to say, but i actually make the melodies up myself." Luna was happy to hear what his boyfriend said. He got the oil and put a little in the pan, the leopard was only curiously watching.

"Watch out. The oil's gonna get a little loud." Luna giggled. "That will wake-up those sleepyheads." He grabbed the scoop and took a little of the batter and placed it in the heated and oiled up bowl. The sizzling was immensely loud, but became silent again.

Whilst Luna grabbed a wodden spatula he heard itsy-bitsy footsteps coming from the hallway. Shortly after a yawning lion toddled in. "What are you doin and why does it have to be so loud...?" Benji quietly said whilst rubbing his eyes.

"Im cooking. Pancakes, to be exact." Luna explained and then gently flipped the cooking pancake in the pan.

"Oh...That's cool... I'll take 10." Benji giggled in a silky voice.

"Can you hand me over a plate, please?" Luna politely asked.

Joe went up to a wall cupboard and got big plate, handing it to the wolf.

Luna grabbed the plate and gently flipped the fully cooked pancake on it. He then quickly splashed the next bit of batter inside of the pan. "Awkward silence." Luna grunted.

"So, Luna, do you have any friends?" Benji interestingly asked.

Luna thought for a moment. Apart from Vince, who probably forgot him by now, and Joe who now is his boyfriend, obviously...He had nobody. He was quite stunned and sad to find this out. Luna quietly bit his lip. "I...Got...None." He quietly huffed, whilst flicking the pancake in the pan again.

Benji sighed. "I really shouldn't talk, should i?"

Joe slightly tapped the shoulder of the wolf. "Well...Y-you got me. And George, Chester and Benji!" He tried to calm the wolf down again.

Luna remembered; he got a number in that strip-club. "I could technically make another friend." He sniffed, before putting out the next pancake.

"How?" Joe asked fairly interested.

"You know, in that strip-joint. I got that lap dance. And there was this guy just slightly massaging my back and arms. He actually gave me his number. I could call him." Luna explained before putting batter into the pan.

Joe was slightly shocked that Luna didn't tell him that earlier. A simple "You could." escaped the mouth of the leopard.

"You really get hit-on way too much. You must get uglier." Benji laughed deeply.

Luna gave a little chuckle as he flipped the pancake.

Pretty loud footsteps were coming from the hallway. George slowly tumbled in. Now, everybody was in the kitchen. "Whutiz this?" George yawned.

"Im making pancakes, we're talking, yada yada yada. I've got no friends, yada yada yada." Luna sighed. "Atleast it's the last time i'll be explaining this."

George slightly laughed. "You really shouldn't have too many friends, though. Have a phew real ones." He said with a sleepy voice.

Luna flicked the last pancake out of the pan with a happy expression on his face. "George really broke the ice now. Thank's for the advice again. I almost forgot that." Luna reached over to George and firmly hugged him.

"Eh..." George felt a little awkward with hugging somebody who was barely tall enough to get to his chest.

Joe and Benji chuckled a little, but were interrupted by the wolf also coming up to them and hugging them too! Luna had hugged everybody in this house by now, so he stopped the whole hugging thing. "Who wants pancakes?~" He cheerfully asked.

"Me!" The group simultaneously said.

"Ok! Then get me the plates!" Luna preached whilst getting out honey and forks.

Joe got 4 plates and put them on the table, one by one. Luna then put 2 pancakes and each plate and grabbed one of the plates. "Bon appetite!" Luna cheered, putting some of the honey on his stack.

"Thank you for the pancakes." George said in the silky voice he had.

"Hmhm." George nodded as he took a bite of his stack.

Benji slurped down one of his pancakes. "Are you sure you're not the blair witch?"

"Yes." Luna giggled. "I wouldn't eat such cute kittens."

"Ok, please. >We're< kittens?" George laughed. "What are you then? A Chihuahua?"

Luna grinned. "I am a fucking goddess! Im Hermaphroditis - Goddess of being fucking gorgeous!~"

Benji burst in laughter. "You know what a hermaphrodite is?"

Luna went back to school with his thoughts and then said "A specimen that has both sexes?" Luna laughed a little before Benji wanted to give his shoulder a fist-bump. "UGH- Eh... Erm..." Luna jumped back a little.

Benji gave him a confused look as he shove another piece of the pancake into his mouth.

"Joe, you explain that, please." Luna awkwardly whispered into the leopard's ear.

"Eh...Well, it's so, i 'accidentally' punched Luna on the shoulder. Really, really hard. Because i was angry. Erm...Yeah."

George looked at Luna's arm before taking the last bite of his pancake. "And you cooked him, somebody who punched you, a nice breakfast, with a probably broken arm?"

Luna awkwardly looked up to George. "Yup. I love him, so why not?" Luna also took the last bite of his first pancake and grabbed the honey again.

"Why honey?" Benji asked with a tilted head.

"Because it's sweet." Luna yawned. "I like sweet. Everybody likes sweet. And i also love spicy." The wolf then drowned the food on his plate in honey, once more.

Benji slightly nodded. "Spicy like, hot? Or spicy like, curry?"

"Spicy as in hot."

George ate the last bit of his food. "Thank's for the meal, and i guess...We have to go then?"

Everybody but Luna was done eating. Joe then went back into the bedroom and came back out with a pair of jeans and a jacket. "Ok then, let's go." he said, petting Luna's head.

"Have fun!" Luna said, as the troup went out of the door.

Luna was, once again, alone. He ate the last bit of his pancake and then went into the livingroom. He sat on the couch and took a deep breath. He then thought a little bit.

He had the idea to call Vermont, as he had nothing to do anyways, so he took out his phone. He put in the number on the piece of paper and dialed the number, mumbling out each number slightly in the process.

The phone rang. Luna was slightly anxious that it would be too early in the evening to call somebody, but then the phone picked up.

"Hello?" A very silky and deep voice answered the phone.

"Hello, V-Vermont." Luna awkwardly said.

"Who's there?" Vermont asked in a rather happy tone.

"Hi, my name's Luna. T-that guy from the strip-joint."

"Oh, it's you!" Vermont seemed pretty excited. "Im sorry for my 'friend', Seth. He really is just trying to do his job, but he seems to be a little...too...into it."

Luna giggled. "It's ok. It's ok... Just tell him not to whore around too much."

A deep laughter came from the phone. "So, you have a boyfriend?" Vermont suddenly asked.

"Um..Yeah." Luna answered.

"Dangit. I was a little too late, was i?" Vermont huffed. "Well, that's ok. Having as a normal friend will be great too."

"It's ok." Luna chuckled. "I could help you find somebody!"

"Nah, it's ok." Vermont sighed. "So, you got any plans tonight?"

"No, none that i could think of. Why?"

"I thought we could just have a beer or so, would you like to?"

Luna thought for a moment. He will not just cheat on his boyfriend. They will just have a cold beer. Nothing more. The wolf snapped back and gave a short "Sure!".

"Great!" The larger canine was happy. "So, where can i pick ya' up?"

"I guess the train station would be fine." Luna said, standing up from the couch he previously sat on.

"Ok. We'll meet around 8 pm. Expect me to be a little late though; im not the most punctual person."

Luna gave a little laugh. "Ok then! I'll not come that early."

Vermont chuckled a little. "I see ya' then! Bye!"

A small "Bye!" escaped Luna's mouth before he hung up.

The wolf gave a relieved sigh. "Im just gonna have a beer. Nothing more."

Luna kept on repeating these words before he heard keys ringing at the door.

Joe was back. As the door opened he hurried to welcome the leopard.

"How was it?" Luna asked in a nervous voice.

The leopard just looked at him with a suspicious face. "D-did you find-...Break... Anything?"

"Well~ I just called Vermont. We will have a beer at 8."

The leopard's face slowly changed to a happy mood. "Great!"

The wolf was confused, but just took Joe's answer as it is. "Um...Ok." Luna took a sniff and scented something odd. He sniffed around until he found what or let's better say: who was smelling. Luna went up to Joe and began to smell something stingy for his nose. "I don't know what you're smelling like, but it really seems strong."

Joe gave a short giggle. "I might have bought and gulped a little vodka."

The wolf was very unpleased with this. "You drank >while< you were driving?"

Joe simply nodded.

Luna took a deep breath. "You know i lost my whole fucking family."

"Yes, and you keep bragging about it." The leopard huffed.

"You know how sad, depressed and awful i would feel if i lost you?"

"I dunno. But i guess alot."

"Yes. Alot. A. WHOLE. FUCKING LOT." The wolf yelled.

Joe sighed. "Y'did not have to make so much drama about thi-"

"YES I HAVE." Luna yelled before silently going into the living room.

Joe went after Luna, who was now sitting on the couch.

Luna gave a huge huff. "I-i...Im just gonna go out. With Vermont. And not make a scene."

"No, sweetie. I-i-"

"Get out of my way." He grunted before getting his black coat and leaving the house.

The door closed behind him and a huge breeze of cold air hit his face.

He put on his coat and began walking and thoughts came back to him.

"Why did i just do that?

How will i apologize?

Is he going to be mad?

What is he going to do?"

Tears buildup in his eyes as he clenched them shut.

He opened his eyes again and looked around.

The train station wasn't far from here, so he put himself together and walked towards the lively place. Many people looked at him in disgrace or pity. His father must've gossipy talked about him. "Hmpf. I though he was ashamed to have a gay son."

Luna had finally made his way to the station and looked at the clock. It was quarter past eight. He searched around for Vermont. And he indeed found him.

The large canine was waving at him.

Luna gave a forced smile and he walked towards him.

Vermont was in front of Luna and was going for a friendly hug.

The two were now arm in arm and Luna could handle himself but to tighten his grip in sorrow. The kanine didn't seem to feel uncomfortable with that.

Luna lose his grip and went a phew steps back. "Hi."

Vermont smiled at Luna "Hey! You don't sound as exited as you did on the phone. Did something happen?"

Luna clenched his eyes together once again. "K-kinda. But let's not ruin our fun with that."

"If you want to talk, im here for ya'." Vermont tapped Luna's shoulder as they walked out of the station.

"So where will we go?" Luna asked before being grabbed by the paw.

"Somewhere nice." The canine laughed before dragging Luna towards a greenish iron door.

There were many neon signs which simply read 'bar' or 'beer' which implied that they were already at the bar Vermont talked about.

Vermont let go of the wolf's hand and opened the door.

A cloud varying all kinds of smells blew towards Luna.

The wolf took a swift whiff and immediately gagged a little. A mixture of sweat, alcohol and urin was in the air.

Luna and Vermont stepped inside. "You find a nice place to sit and i go to the bar and order the beer."

Luna gave a small nod and looked around for a table; which wasn't easy.

Luna was way smaller than the others, which lead to uncomfortable touches.

But then Luna finally found a small, free, table. As he sat down he noticed a few people in the bar starring at him.

The smell in the bar quickly became neutral to Luna, and the small gags stopped.

A little time passed by and Vermont finally came back with two big beer steins.

"So, what's the matter?" Vermont asked in a neutral voice.

Luna gave a huff. "I-it really is just a little stress with my boyfriend and-"

Vermont interrupted Luna. "What stress? Did he do something to you?"

"Not really, b-but he kind of did something i really wouldn't want him to do." Luna stuttered.

"And that would be?"

"He drank while driving. I know it sounds shitty to start drame because of it, but i really do not wanna lose him."

"Why do you not want to lose him? Do you not have anybody to go to?"

Luna was silent and shamefully looked at the table.

Vermont sighed. "You really don't have an easy life, do ya'?"

The wolf shook his head. "I lost all contact to my family. I got no job. Im a midget. I can't say no. And people always question my name."

"Question 'yer name? Why that?"

"Im a grown-up man and my name sounds like that of a female princess." Luna softly giggled.

"But why did your parents name you that?" Vermont asked.

"It's kinda hard to explain, but...I'll try. Im born with Heterochromia. So both of my eyes have a different color. I also was very silent. So the doctors told my parents that i might be a Lunatic."

"So they named their son Luna?" Vermont took a sip of his beer.

Luna took a sip of his beer too and said: "Yes. And i really hate my name. It sticks out like a white petal in a field of red flowers."

Vermont smiled.

"Well.." Luna began. "I like dicks and no chicks. They probably named me perfectly."

Vermont laughed. "Dicks before chicks!"

Luna was happy and completely forgot about the whole situation he had with Joe.

"So, how's 'yer boyfriend? I mean personality wise of course." Vermont asked taking another big gulp of his beer.

Luna's happy mood quickly took a swing back. "My boyfriend's name is Joe, he's a sportsman and essentially nice. But i do know he has a anger problem. And also probably a problem with alcohol. And..." Luna gave a depressed sigh. "And he's socially a bit broken because he had no family." The wolf took another sip of the beer.

"And you love him because?"

"Because he took me with him in my hours of despair." Luna rested his head in his palm.

"That's not very smart." Vermont huffed.

"I-i know..." Luna took a big sip from his beer. "But i know him for so long... Since college, actually. I always had a crush on him. He even admitted that he had a crush on me! And he cares for me too!"

"That's way better! Now you sound happy!" Vermont cheered before chugging down the rest of his beer.

Luna's mood was restored. He chugged his own beer too. "Another one please."

"C'min right up." Vermont said, standing up from his chair and walked towards the bar, before being grabbed by his belt. Luna was hunched over, dragging the larger canine back and asking: "How much is a beer?"

"2 bucks." Vermont said.

Luna let go of the canine's belt and got out a stack of money and handed out 4 bucks.

"That's 2 too much..." Vermont said confused.

"Nah, dude. One for you and me." Luna smiled as he sat back on his own chair.

"Thank's bro!" The larger canine cheerfully said.

Luna looked behind Vermont as he disappeared into the crowd. "He's such a nice guy." Luna thought. But he began having not so nice thoughts in his head too.

"What if he's like Seth now?

What if i don't like his deeper personalities?

Does he really like me?"

His thoughts were interrupted by Vermont, who was back with the two full beer steins.

Luna was handed over one of the steins. "Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Luna smiled at the kanine. "And you work as...?"

"A masseur. I got hired by Furryous to work in the champagne room."

"Oh, that's cool!" Luna's smile became a friendly grin.

"'You really think so?" Vermont awkwardly giggled.

Luna nodded before taking a big sip of his beer. "I bet'cha guys give great hand jobs."

Vermont laughed. "We actually do! I mean, c'mon. Were fumbling around peoples bodies 24/7. Give us some credit, man!"

Luna laughed, wrapping his arm around the kanine.

The night had it's flow. Beer after beer had been finished. Luna and Vermont were both drunk and started to talk about weird fetishes and more.

"Oh~ Bro, i gotta *hic* go now. It quarter past twelve." Luna yawned.

"Naw...Bro, you can't leave me here. Pleaaaaase don't go." Vermont drunkenly squealed.

"Nah, bro. I-i-i will call you... I will call you. And we go drink agaaaaain." Luna giggled.

Vermont tipped a imaginary hat. "Ok, then. *hic* Have a good day."

Luna tumbled out of the bar and toddled himself home swiftly.

As he noticed that he forgot his keys, he pressed on the doorbell.

"Who's there?" Joe asked.

"It's meeeee, Joe-baby!" Luna laughed.

The leopard unlocked and opened the door. "Luna? A-are you drunk?"

"Maybe." Luna whispered into Joe's ear. "But who cares. I want to go to bed." Luna yawned and lied himself on the doorstep. "C'mon, Joe. Bring me to bed!"

Joe sighed and he picked up Luna and threw him over his shoulder. "You, my friend, should never ever drink. Ever."

Luna giggled. "I knoooow right?"

Joe went into the bedroom and laid Luna on the king-size mattress.

The wolf began taking off all of his clothes until he was laying there in boxers. "Gimme a good night kiss." Luna purred.

"Fine." Joe huffed, and he gently kissed Luna on his forehead. "Goodnight."

"Nighty-night." Luna snuggled himself into the bed sheets and the alcohol quickly kicked in. He fell asleep in a matter of minutes.
