#1 of Being Blind as a Bat


Being Blind as a Bat â€" Chapter 1

    A strapping young anthro bat can be seen heading down the street. He wore a lovely blue golf tee and khaki tan pants. The bat had brown fur, black hair and silver eyes. There was one problem outside his fine features and attractive attire. He was mostly blind. He couldn't see very well but he could tell the presence of objects or people and react to them. When he was young, he got the teases and taunts like never before, mostly hearing the common phrase "You're as blind as a bat". He had shades on to which any normal person would think he wasn't blind but to all that know, it's just a way for him to blend in. Suddenly, a familiar voice can be heard coming a hundred yards away.

    "Cousin Chase! You finally made it. I was thinking you weren't going to show." A much older bat spoke out to him.

    "Hello Uncle Damon." Chase called back.

    Damon was Chase's uncle from his dad's side. Damon looked like an older version of Chase but with more grey hairs poking out and wearing various cheap business suit attires that Chase hears from his dad every so often as "tacky and outdated". He owns a wonderful restaurant dedicated to increasing the eating experience. It was called "Black Out". The concept was simple. People come far and wide not only to sample wonderful dishes Damon's cooks create but eating it in a completely different atmosphere. That atmosphere was eating in total darkness. It was in fact that Chase's visual condition gave Damon the inspiration to create this restaurant. And in return, Damon usually invited Chase to not only try out new dishes but anytime Chase wanted something to eat, Damon fed him at no charge. But something odd was plaguing Chase's mind. Damon normally doesn't call Chase up from home and tell him to meet him. Chase usually visits on his own time or Damon would visit him at home to let him try new dishes. Why did his uncle call him up and told him to come down to Black Out and get all nicely dressed up?

    "Glad you could make it. Anyways, today is a special day and one that will surely boost your spirits." Damon said as Chase made his way to him. He gave Chase a friendly hug which somehow keeps catching Chase off guard. Chase hugged his uncle back before asking him what was troubling his mind.

    "What was so urgent that you needed me to come down here and get all nicely dressed up? What's so special about today Damon? You do know my birthday is not for another few months or are you suffering from old man disease?" Chase commented jokingly.

    "Cousin, your wisecracks are funny. You should get into comedy. Anyways, see, your dad has told me of your unfortunate string of bad luck as of late and I figured I can help."

    Chase made a grumble sound. He just hate how his dad always had to gossip to his buddies about his bad luck. The question was which one did Damon here. Was it because he wasn't one that made new friends, or maybe finding work since most jobs require people to be able to see what they are doing.

    "Damon, you know that whatever it is, I can figure it out myself. I don't want a job because you and Dad pity me for not having one." Chase spoke, assuming it was about the lack of having a job.

    "It's nothing like that I swear." Damon spoke out. "I'm just trying this new way of promoting the restaurant and I need people to fill in the tables for now. You know I respect your opinion and since you know the restaurant is dark and it's not a visual promotion, you would be the best candidate to give me your best opinion. Please?" He said in an innocent tone.

    Chase took his time to think about it but sighed and nodded. "Fine but I'm also exempt from bus boy duties for the rest of the summer if your promotion doesn't work out."

     "Ugh." Damon groaned. "Fine, you play such hardball against me. Anyways, I'll lead you in."

    Damon took Chase's hand, which Chase kindly gave him and escorted him into the restaurant. Once they entered they walked down a long hallway and opened another set of doors. If one can see, it was completely pitch black except for a few markings of certain guests and waiters marked in white gear walking around. The rest could only be measured in sounds of chatter between tables. He could feel Damon swerving around the tables. Chase knew the layout of the restaurant himself but right now, he was trust Damon with the direction. Chase could hear sounds of people cutting, eating and talking and from the sound of it, doing it all at the same time.Â

    "Ah here we are." Damon finally said.

    Damon sat Chase into one of the chairs at what felt like an empty table and placed a piece of cloth which he assumed it was a serviette over his lap. Chase perked his ears to hopefully hear someone else near him outside of Damon but all he could hear was nothing more than mindless chatter.Â

    "So when is this promotion going to start Damon? I don't want to be waiting around all day."

    "Don't worry cousin. You'll see." Damon chuckled as he moved away from the table.

    "Sometimes, I even wonder if he realizes that by saying "you'll see" to someone who is blind is like saying "Speak up!" to someone who is mute." Chase sadly thought to himself. Next thing his ears picked up was a pinging sound coming to his right. After a few seconds of pinging, the crowd became quiet. Someone was obviously trying to get the people's attentions.

    "Hello everyone and welcome to Damon's "Black Out Blind Date"!" Damon yelled to the crowd.

    Just as everyone started applauding to his opening line, Chase can feel a sudden blush hit his face. "So this is what dad told Damon about." He muttered. He could remember the event that would spark this idea. About a week ago during school, people in his class were asking other classmates if they could take them to the local dance that was going to happen in about a month's time. Well Chase figured it was time for him to try to get himself a date instead of no showing for once. He took his time trying to use his sense of sound to pick out the loveliest sounding furry. Once he found one, he made his approach carefully to her. Of course due to his blindness, he couldn't tell many things. First off, that who he asked out was someone who was already going with someone to the dance and the other that her date was sitting right beside her. The male made his point very clear with a hit to the face. Chase was sent home early and his parents were informed. And as typical dad does, he blabs it to his other family members and he figured Damon set this up. Before his thoughts continued, the applauding died down and Damon began to speak again.

    "Here's how this event will work." Damon spoke. "All of the males right now are sitting at our tables and the females are standing against one wall. When I ring this bell, oh wait right its dark here. Hang on." He rang a bell like sound a few times. "When you hear this sound, the males will begin listing off their names, ages and one of their favorite activities. The women will walk around the room and once they hear someone they like, they will tap that man's shoulder indicating that they are interested. The woman who taps a man's shoulder will join them at the table and discuss. If you are enjoying yourself, you keep yourself at the table. If not, you let them know you're leaving and you continue onward. I will wait exactly one hour and we shall see how everyone is doing. Is everyone ready?"

     A loud gathering of "Yeah!!!" can be heard while Chase just felt like dying of embarrassment. This was by far one of the most embarrassing moments of his life. Suddenly, he realized something and it made him feel less embarrassed. What was so unique about Damon's restaurant was that you eat in total darkness relying on taste, smell and texture as your visual aids. So this meant if he kept to his business's promise, no one can see him which means no one can tell he was blind. Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea. He started to relax a little but now the sound of that familiar bell ringing in the air which made him tense up. He suddenly started hearing other people's stats.

    "I'm James, 21, into soccer."Â

    "I'm Marcus, 18, I enjoy playing chess."Â

    "I'm Stephan, 22, and I love camping under the stars."Â

    And so on. Chase joined the crowd and began to speak about himself. "I'm Chase, 18, I enjoy listening to music."

    He slowly kept repeating the same line over and over again. The more he kept repeating the line and not feeling the paw on his shoulder, the more it felt like eternity to him. Even while he was muttering the lines, he could suddenly hear some females conversing with the other males. Their lines stopped repeating and joined in on the conversation. He could feel breezes pass by him indicating that people were walking past and he tried his best with his line to grab any attention but sadly, not one tap on the shoulder. Even the guy who enjoyed playing chess wasn't repeating his lines over. He was positive a female was talking to him. As he said the line he was thinking in his mind. "Great, even in complete darkness and with no one able to see my blindness, I'm still not appealing to other females. Maybe I should just give up."

    Suddenly, he felt something warm tap his shoulder and startled him out of his thought. He could feel his blush returning to his face with a big smile. Of course, due to his startle and nerves, instead of speaking out to whoever touched him, he yelled out. "Hello! Please join me!" The sudden rush of embarrassment came back as he was literally kicking himself for speaking out so loud that a few conversations began to chuckle at his outburst.

He could hear a soft giggle from behind him as he felt a voice moving beside his ear. "Yes, thank you." The voice replied. It sounded heavenly like if a goddess reached down and spoke into his mind. He could feel the paw moving away from his shoulder as it sounded like whoever it was, was having a difficult time trying to find a chair. It made him relax a little meaning that Damon did keep the lights off. For all she knew, he was just an ordinary guy.

    Once he knew the person found their seat, there was a bit of silence before Chase decided to break the ice. "Sorry about that. This is all so new to me. I've never done anything like this before."

    "Neither have I. Meeting someone in complete darkness is so unusual but also kind of fun." The voice replied. His heart felt like a ton of weight was lifted as he was reassured that she couldn't see him. Though then again, maybe it wasn't as dark as she portrayed but just saying that to be nice. He decided to get to know her better.

     "So what species are you since obviously I can't really see you?" Chase asked.

    "I'm a badger and yourself?"

    "Me? Well I'm a bat."

    "I never met many bats so it's nice to meet a different species outside your own." The voice commented. "So you like music hmm? What kind?"

    "Oh, mostly dance music." Chase mentioned. "I am learning to become a DJ actually."

    "That's so cool!" The voice sounded happy. Chase was slowly deducing the voice and began to create a picture of this voice in his mind. He pictured a lovely female badger with a kind personality. He held onto that thought as he spoke to her. "So, what are you into?"

    "I'm into dance." She replied. "I'm planning on taking contemporary dance lessons and compete on a world stage."

    "Wow that sounds like you have your future planned out for you."

    "Yeah...I guess you can say that." She said with a sigh. He realized it wasn't something to dig into so he tried to change the subject. He had some of the picture filled and he wanted to find out more. "So since it's so dark here, can you tell me a bit about what you look like?"

    "Well..." She pondered over the thought. "...I have long blonde hair, tied into a ponytail, light blue eyes, about 5'6" and slim build. What about yourself?"

    "Well I have dark brown short hair, silver eyes, about 5'8" and slim build too."

    "You sound pretty attractive to me." She giggles softly. Chase blushed immensely.

    "You sound pretty attractive yourself. Um, this may sound a bit weird but you think I could touch your face and feel how attractive you are?" Chase said with a feeling of blush hitting his cheek.

    There was a moment of silence. His mind started to wander "Oh no, did I say something wrong? Was I being too forward? Oh man. I knew this was too good to be true. I should have just said nothing about it and just kept my..." "Sure." The female said.

    Chase had a double take moment. "Did she just say yes?" "Do you need some help finding me?" The female spoke before giggling.

    "Um yeah..." Chase said sheepishly.

    "Here, hold your arms out in the direction of my voice." She said.

    Chase swallowed a little and did as she said, sticking his arms out towards the sound. He felt a few bumps but realized it was her finding his arms. Once she found them, she slid them down till she found his wrists and started pulling them away. Her hands feeling the same warmth he first felt when she touched his shoulder. Next thing he felt was soft fur against the palms of his paws as he realized he made contact with her face. He started to run his hands across her face careful as not to poke her eye or stick a finger into anything. He was literally feeling how attractive she really was. Soft and warm cheeks, a kind presence he could feel and her lips were soft. He was in near fantasy mode picturing the rest of her body until he felt her paws leaving his wrists. The natural force of gravity pushed his paws down before landing on something soft and squishy but with a cloth like feel covering them. He blinked for a little as he squeezed them softly. "This doesn't feel like your face."

    He could hear the woman let out a small gasp before speaking. "Um, that's my chest you're squeezing."

    He immediately let go and brought his hands together. He felt his face overcome with so much embarrassment that one would need a mop to clean it all up. He immediately wanted to yell how sorry he was but he didn't want people overhearing it. He leaned in and quietly said. "I'm so sorry. I didn't realize what I was doing. I hope you're not mad at me."

    There was a long silence. For all he knew, she could have just slipped out of her chair while he was trying to fight his embarrassment and tried to find someone else. He heard nothing but the other chatter from the other people. At least until that familiar voice spoke out. "Actually...I kind of liked it."

    Chase was stunned as he literally blinked and perked a brow. "Huh, I mean really?" He spoke softly.

    He could feel her presence moving closer as she was trying to speak softly to him. "Normally, I would be disgusted at this but when your warm hands touched my breasts, I actually liked the feeling."

    Chase blushed again. He must of lost count how many times he must have been blushing. But the next thing to come out of the female's mouth really set him over. "Did you want to keep touching them? I won't stop you if you want to."

    He was nervous. He never went this far with a woman ever. He never even felt a woman outside of his own mother's touch but this was different. But he knew he couldn't tell her he was a virgin nor has he never felt a woman before. He had to act like this was completely normal to him. Swallowing a bit more, he nodded and spoke.

    "Sure but I need you to help me find them again." He said in a cocky tone. He couldn't believe that came out of his own mouth.

    The female giggled and spoke. "Sure." He stuck his arms out waiting for her to grab them but it was weird that she didn't find them as quickly as she did the first time. It wouldn't be longer after that thought before he could feel her paws again grabbing his arms. He felt his arms being tugged towards her direction but once they made contact with the female, he felt nothing but fur except for two odd patches, one on each paw. "This doesn't feel like your chest." He said curiously.

    "Oh it is." The female giggled. "I just moved my top and bra up so you can feel them better." She whispered.

    Chase could feel his whole face being red but he knew he had to act cool in front of her. Slowly he began to squeeze them softly. He was shaking but it didn't seem the girl noticed as he heard nothing but small gaps coming from her mouth. These gaps played a great affect to him as his member began pressing into his pants. He would make a soft clicking sound as he began to massage those soft breasts into his paws. Just then, he suddenly felt a paw rubbing at his knee. He jumped a little before a voice reassured him. "Don't worry, it's just me. I just want to return the favour." The female giggled.

    Chase couldn't help but stop. The feeling of that warm paw against his knee and now stroking his inner thigh was turning him on so much. He could feel his member pressing so hard into his pants wanting to escape and be touched. He was so nervous but suddenly, that nervousness went away as soon the warm paw began rubbing the bulge inside his pants. He was enjoying himself but he was so nervous about the others only a few feet away that he would get caught. He then looks to her. "We can't do it here...there's too many people around." Chase sighed.

    "Do you know a dark place we can go to? So we can keep this going?" She spoke.

    Chase started to scramble thoughts into his mind. He could picture the layout of the restaurant and where he and she were sitting. He then remembered that Damon told and showed him of a service hallway exit that was rarely used. It was only dark when the doors to the outside were closed. He tried thinking of another place but he knew there wasn't another that he could think of. "Yeah I know a place but promise me you'll tell me your name and meet with me again once we have to go."

    "Trust me, after this; I'll give you more than just my name and another date. I'll give you my phone #, where I live and what time to come over so we can have the house to ourselves." She spoke with a evil grin kind of sound.

Chase blushed as he removed his paws from her breasts and felt her paw left his bulge. He felt from her shoulder down to her paw and grabbed her paw. She squeezed back in kind as they both got up from their chairs and moved around the table. Chase was praying he didn't bump into a table or staff as he used his mental knowledge to move to the service hallway. He stuck his free paw out hoping to feel a wall. Soon, the feeling of brick hit his paw. "Well, so far so good." He muttered to himself. He still felt the warmth in his other paw like she was holding on for dear life. He moved to the right trying to feel for the door. He came across some steel and he knew he found the door. He moved his free paw to the handle, pushed it quietly and slipped into the door, pulling her in with him. He closed the door behind him quietly but as soon as he did, he felt two paws touch his shoulder and pushing him into the brick with a thud. Then, before a word can be mustered, he felt something press against his lips. It was the female and she was taking control.

    This was Chase's first kiss and he was enjoying it. He did his best to return the same kiss she did but before he knew it, her paws was sliding down his shoulders, along his chest and right to his pants. He could feel her unbuttoning them as that sudden feeling made his member rock hard again. He felt the push of his pants and underwear, go past his hips but hug around his upper thighs revealing his member to the air. He never knew how big his own cock was but he has toched it hard before and from his knowledge, he knew it was a moderate size.

    He felt the kiss from his lips move along to his neck. He tilted it in kind as he continued to make click sounds of enjoyment. Her warm paw grasped the hard member and began to rub it. She would stop the kisses to tell him. "Oh my...for a DJ, you certainly are packing." She spoke before giggling. His blush returned to his face as she continued to stroke him. Soon the near presence of her around his face disappeared as her paw readjusted into a new hold. He didn't know what was going on until suddenly, wet warmth enveloped his cock which resulted in a sudden moan from him. He felt the warm come and go at a slow pace, more around the tip then reaching the base before going back to the tip. Then he felt pressure against his cock like if it was being milked while the warmth continued to arouse him. He wanted it to keep going. He was enjoying it way too much but before he knew, a sharp feeling can be felt inside him as his cock released ropes of cum into the enveloped warmth. He then heard a murr coming from down there. The murr vibrated along his member. "Did she just suck my member?" He thought to himself. Soon, he felt the warmth and hold of his member disappear. He spoke out. "Are you still there?"

    "Yep, I was getting hungry and wanted to enjoy a tasty snack." She made a "murr" sound symbolizing she was content. "Now, how about you get me all nice and warmed up."Â

    He didn't even get a word in edgewise as he felt his paw being grabbed and slipped up along some fur. He then felt sudden wet warmth against his hand with a soothing moan from the female. He couldn't help but click in both arousal and nervousness. He never pleasured a woman before. "How in the hell am I suppose to do this?" He was getting nervous as he took another gulp. He was winging it so far and so far, it sounded like she enjoyed it. Before he would try to wing it again, he heard the sound of a door opening and his heart felt like it stopped beating.

    "Hey Chase, glad to see you found a lovely to fool around with." Damon spoke out. "Don't mind me; I'll leave you lovebirds alone." He said as he closed the door.

    He totally forgot that there was another door at the service hallway that led outside. Damon took frequent smoke breaks out there and never figured he be out for one this time. What happened though wasn't the scare of Damon catching them anymore but the sudden disappearance of warmth and the rustling of clothes. He then heard footsteps leave towards the door.

    "Wait!" Chase yelled out. "You promised me remember?!"

    Silence could be heard as the footstep sounds stopped and no door sound was made. He could hear the female muttering quietly in what sounded like she was in hysterics. Perhaps his uncle catching them both in the act scared her and she didn't want to keep going. His heart was now sinking in sadness before he heard the female's voice.

    "Sorry, I got a little startled there. I have to get going...as um...I just noticed how late it was and I need to head back. My name is....um....Sylvia, my phone number is 555-2750 and I live at 69 Moonlight Crescent. Come see me in one week and I'll make sure to keep my promise. It was wonderful to meet you Chase and I'll see you soon." He then heard the outside door open, footsteps and then the door closed.

    Chase was in utter happiness. He just had his first few "firsts" and he's going to meet her in one week. Then he realized it felt drafty but only because his pants were still down. He felt for the waistband of his pants and boxers and slipped them back on. He buttoned his pants back up before finding himself to the outside door and pushing it open. He headed outside but that familiar voice came back.

    "Well well...looks like the boy has just become a man." Damon spoke out.

    Damon didn't want to intrude what was going on because even what he saw stunned him. Seeing his little cousin Chase fooling around with a female badger. Normally, if Chase's father found out that he was fooling around with another species, Chase would be grounded and forced never to see her again. Damon though has a softer side and smiled to Chase. "I promise I won't tell your dad if you promise that you don't let me catch you like that again. Kind of creepy you know?"

    Chase would have told him off, telling him he could have lost his virginity to a female for the first time if he learned to quit smoking and do his job. And not just to any ordinary female, someone that didn't judge him based on his looks or his blindness. Instead, he kept his comments to himself. "Alright but please promise me dad won't know. He'll kill me if he found out I was with another species."

    "If you really like this girl then alright but now you're going to have to do some bus boy duties like clean the service hall." Damon chuckled.

    "Alright, whatever you say." Chase replied.Â

    Damon could tell Chase was grinning from ear to ear. Damon couldn't help but be happy for his cousin. His idea of doing a blind date in a literal blind situation worked. Damon could feel that if more people didn't base their opinions on disabilities or looks, they would be just as happy as Chase right now.
