Huh. I just realized that this is going to be the longest chapter in this story...


Morning came early. I don't care if it was eleven thirty, it felt more like six thirty. Well, no. Waking up at six leaves me with little sleep. I had too much sleep, and was used to being cradled by Seth by now. I was ready to go back to sleep, but Seth was hungry. I guess I was too. We got out of bed, and I tripped as I tried to step over Daniel and Ted, then looked down to see they weren't there. When we went upstairs to the living room, we found them playing more Minecraft on the Xbox, bundled up in their sleeping bags and blankets on the couch. I sat down on top of them, and Ted just pulled me closer to him.

In the two weeks since school was out, we'd all started becoming more and more like a foursome. I don't know about the others, but for me it was because I loved all three of them. Just a little, and mostly Seth, then Ted, then Daniel, but I still loved them. I still wanted to be with all of them. What made it awkward was that Daniel understood that we all loved each other and treated it like that. We were all boyfriends in his eyes, and maybe we were. I don't know. I just like being held by or holding them myself. Any of them.

I heard Daniel groan underneath Ted, and I slipped of them so they could readjust, just in time for Seth to come back upstairs with a bunch of blankets and pillows, and grabbed me, pulling me under the mass of fabric. We all snuggled together and started playing the game, and Ted moved again, shoving his feet in my face. I tried to turn away, but the smell was noxious, and he wriggled his toes and tried slipping them into my mouth. He was doing it on purpose, and I licked the bottom of his foot, which must've tickled as it grossed him out, and he pulled them back, trying to wipe them off.

"So, if you're gonna tickle me, then maybe you'd like some yourself." He leaned across Daniel's lap and dug his hand into my side, scratching and proding. I couldn't help but start laughing as I tried to pull away, and Seth started in, too. He grabbed me and pulled me down over him, digging into my sides. I tried telling him to stop, but Ted grabbed my feet, and started on those. I was getting winded, and couldn't breathe, and started punching the arm of the couch, making gagging sounds. Seth stopped and pulled me upright, so that Ted couldn't have my feet. It took a minute for the air to return to my lungs... and brain, but it did, and I tickled Seth a little. He kissed me on the cheek, and wriggled, just enough for me to realize I was sitting on his lap.

About twenty minutes went by, and occasionally we'd kiss, or he'd squeeze me, or Daniel would kiss one of us, or Ted would readjust himself on the couch, or some other tiny little thing. It was nice being in the group, Seth had started kissing Daniel back when he would kiss us. I didn't mind. Once I was sure he was doing it affectionately, I would too. I just needed to know that Ted was okay with it. I didn't want to step on anyone's toes. Well, Ted's, if we mean literally. He gets flustered easy, and it's funny.

Seth's mom poked her head around the corner, "Hey, breakfast is ready." Ted tried bolting up, but his leg was caught in the mass of blankets and ended up face down in the carpet. He tried freeing his leg as i got up, and Daniel bent over and started untangling his leg. Seth got up after me, but immediately hugged me, pulling my butt back into his crotch, and pressing it firmly into me. I didn't mind, and felt myself getting turned by it. He kissed ear, and let go, right as I stopped trying to hold myself up, and I ended up falling on Ted, with our noses pressed against eachother. He pulled me down, and kissed me. The others started to walk off, and I tried squirming away, but he kept kissing me, holding me tightly. A little too tightly.

"Te-mmmd!"

He stopped and eased up a bit, "What?"

"I'm hungry, and this is too..."

"Make out-ish?"

"Well... Yeah."

"Hm. Too bad. I love you. Just as much as Daniel, and Seth won't care."

"But... This is..."

"Awkward? Yeah, I know, but I'm not backing down. I already screwed up, might as well go all the way." He pulled my head to his again, and I bit his mouth this time. Not hard, just enough to get his attention. He let go of me, and rolled off. We both got up, and I kissed him on the cheek on our way to the dining room. Everything felt nice.

We sat down, and everyone was already digging in, and I couldn't help but think how nice it was not to have to pray before every god damn meal, now that I was spending more time with the others. I was at home just as much, but still. Praying gets old.

Seth's mom started to talk, "So, boys. I'm going shopping after breakfast, and Rick has work, so, are you okay here alone today?"

"Oh, we were gonna go to Daniel's place, since his parents are in town." [Seth]

"Yeah, and now that he has three boyfriends, it'll be real interesting." [Ted]

"The whole foursome thing that's starting is the only issue I have with this. It's really confusing." [Seth's Dad]

"How so?" [Daniel]

"Simple, I don't know whether you're all boyfriend...-ed, with each other, or if it's like a love triangle, that shifts every other second, or what."

"Definitely all together." [Seth]

"Yeah, I mean, I can kiss Seth, and no one would be upset, right?" [Daniel]

"Well, I might get a little jealous and want one too..." [Me]

"Then both of us would kiss you." [Seth]

"Heh... At the same time?" [Me]

"Wait, what about me? Would I just be in the corner watching?" [Ted]

"No, you'd have been kissing Alex this whole time. I mean you were comfortable with trying to make out with him a few minutes ago." [Seth]

"Trying? Man, I had to bite him to make him stop." [Me]

"Okay, this is too much gay talk, I'm going upstairs." [Seth's Dad]

"I'll follow." Seth's parents both got up and went upstairs.

It was quiet for a minute, and then Seth spoke up, "So... where does your grandpa live?"

"Oh, Quicksilver Cliffs." [Daniel]

"Quicksilver Cliffs, jesus christ, Dan, how rich are they?!" [Ted]

"What's Quicksilver Cliffs?" [Me]

"Isn't that up on the southern hill?" [Seth]

"Actually, it's past south hill. See, there's a second hill down there, with a massive cliff that's a fourty foot drop down to the ocean. Quicksilver Cliffs is a street that runs up there, but all the houses are lawns with small doorwars leading down to the houses carved out of the rock." [Daniel]

"Oh, that's not questionable." [Me]

"It's secure, the cliffs are mostly marble and granite, and the waves only go ten feet up the cliff. And, there's a series of rocks, islands, and jetties out in the water."

"It's a big enough mass that it stops storms from destroying the cliff, and we usually don't get too much rain here anyways." [Ted]

"Oh, that explains why it's still there." [Seth]

"Point being, it's the upper class portion of Amber Stone City. Papa still gets royalties for a few of his machines." [Daniel]

"Psh, you call him papa?" [Ted]

"Shut up..."

"Yeah, it's adorable." Everyone starred at me. I either stepped too far across the boundaries of the foursome, or god knows what. I started feeling uncomfortable, and went back to eating.

"You know, I'm surprised you had the balls to say that." [Ted]

"Yeah, I was sure one of us would make the foursome more intimate." [Seth]

"Yeah... Thanks Alex, that means a lot." [Daniel]

I just nodded. I had crossed a line. It was a good thing. Daniel had crossed the first line, Ted crossed the second, and I crossed the third. Now only Seth needs to cross the fourth.

...

We walked into the main room of Daniel's grandpa's house. It looked a lot like Seth's living room, but I didn't notice. Daniel walked in front of us, and an elderly Zebra was sitting on a stool when we walked in.

"Hey, papa!"

"Hey, Daniel. Who are these?"

"Oh, this is my boyfriend, Ted." He grabbed Ted and pulled him close, but Seth walked around and leaned onto Daniel's left arm.

"What, we don't count? We're you're boyfriends too, you know." He looked up and kissed Daniel on the lips, and I leaned onto Ted's shoulder, starting to kiss him-

...

"Hey, Alex, you in there?" Daniel was snapping his fingers in my face, and it took me a second to come to.

"Hu-uh? Oh, yeah. Sorry, I just spaced out." I took a split second to take in where I was. We were back in the living room, and I was laying down, holding Seth to my body, who was laying on his stomach. His crotch was pressing firmly into mine, and I could've sworn he had a bulge in his pants. My head was in Ted's lap, and I was starring at the screen, more minecraft.

"Obviously, do you have any coal?" [Daniel]

"I think. Look in the chests." [Me]

"'Kay." There was a brief pause in conversation, and Seth pulled his arms tighter, increasing the pressure holding us together. He moaned... sexually... and nuzzled his head against my chest fur. I realized I still hadn't put on a shirt from last night, and me and Seth were still wearing our matching pajama pants.

Since my parents found out about me being gay, me and Seth have been trying our hardest to wear exactly the same outfits, day in, day out. We tried to get our wardrobes to match, and what clothes we couldn't match, we refused to wear. My parents were unsettled by this, but I was glad they weren't grounding me or homeschooling me or any of my other horrendous fears. The only bad thing really was that they didn't talk to me as much, and when they did, it almost always ended in a fight or my emotions getting the better of me. By which, I mean me wanting to curl up in a ball and crying for six hours on end, but would usually end up going to Seth's and being saved by his comfort.

I felt a hand on my forehead, and glanced around to realize it wasn't Seth. I heard Ted's soft whisper near my ear, "It's okay... It's okay..." My cheeks burned, and I realized they already had been. My eyes were sore, and I felt the tears in my. I realized I must've been on the edge of crying, just from thinking about the god awful turn my life had taken. I took a deep breath, and felt Seth's weight shift as he got off of me. I glanced over at him and realize he was grabbing a controller. He made me get up, and wanted to hold me while he played. I did so, and leaned my head on his while I sat on his lap. It felt nice and my depression began to fade.

And then Daniel leaned over and kissed me on the lips. Hey, I was just as surprised!

"What are you doing!?"

His eyes opened in a flash and he blushed really bad, "I-I-I just... I-I just wanted t-to comfort you- b-but I-"

"Stop, it's... It's okay. It just caught me off guard." He turned away, and I could feel the others starring at me. I'd done something wrong, and I knew it. They were just as fragile as me, and I completely forgot that. We're all a little messed up inside, and we're all got our own problems. Especially us, though.

I felt arms wrap around me, and realized they weren't Seth's. Ted pulled me off of Seth and held me on his lap, and it freaked me out a little. I wanted Daniel to know that I didn't mind but I already screwed up and he was already sad and I couldn't make up for it and-

"It's okay... Just calm down, and come here..." Ted's whisper in my ear wasn't as comforting as he meant it to be. I just pushed his arms away and got up, heading into the bathroom. I needed to step away from everything for a minute, and we had about an hour before we had to leave for Daniel's, so I decided I could take a shower while I calmed down.

I went over to the shower, which was also part of the tub, rather than a walk in shower. I pulled the curtains across and turned on the water, knowing it'd take a minute to heat up. I pulled a nob on the bathtub's faucet and the water started streaming out of the shower head.

I was beginning to take off my clothes when I heard a knock on the door, and set my pajama pants on the counter. I opened the door to see Seth standing there, looking pitifully at me.

"Uhh... I... I don't want you to get scarred by us going to fast."

"Huh?"

"I can tell. ... You don't like it as much when Ted or Daniel kiss you, it makes you uncomfortable."

"... Seth-"

"It's okay. I just wanted you to know that we don't have to be a foursome if-" I grabbed him by his pants and pulled him closer to me, kissing him as his muzzle met mine. We stood there for a second, and when we pulled away, he stepped back, and I felt bad, since I'd probably screwed it up with him now, too.

"I-... I'm gonna get you your clothes for your shower." I glanced at the counter as he went back down the hall to the main room, and I realized I had forgotten my clothes, but when he came back, there were two sets. Identical. I knew what he wanted, and I was glad. I'd go this far with him any day. He set the clothes on the counter and closed the door behind him, and he started to undress. I pulled my underwear off, and for another minute, we stood, mesmerized by eachother's bodies. Now there was nothing to stop our eyes from wandering.

The lines wrapped around his body, and pooled together here and there to form pentagrams, but the clearest one was on his chest. The massive red circle on his chest was radiating a warm light, and inscribed inside was a pentagram. The points of the pentagram were connected to the inner vertices by sky blue lines, similar to crosses due to the lines striked through the pentagram's points. These lines didn't touch, but were brought together by warm magenta circles, that were connected by lines to the other side of the pentagram's inner vertices. Inside them were vibrant green dots that filled in the inner spaces of the pentagram. The recently formed gold filled in the outer spaces of the pentagram, but for a while now, the inner symbols started spinning slowly, turning counter clockwise, and coming off more as a star than the satanic symbol that it initially was.

I felt myself being turned on from seeing his sheath, untouched by the five colors on his body, and was a single, massive, black circle, ringed with the glowing lines that tattooed his body. Upon seeing me, he sighed a little, and his sheath opened right up. Even his insides must've been tattooed, since there were even more complicated colors and designs on his knot then could've been fit on his chest with how thick the lines are on his fur. They were about an inch thick outside his body, but inside, they appeared to by thinner than milimeters, and precisely done. The symbols inside his body were incredibly strange, as well. They didn't appear to be anything that made sense, and were seperated, rather than drawn together.

I didn't think about it much, and instead I pulled him closer to me, letting our bodies touch, completely naked, for the first time. I pulled him with me towards the shower, kissing him the entire time. His crotch was hot and warm, even warmer than the markings on his body, which emitted heat that he couldn't feel.

As we slipped into the shower, we were plastered with water and steam, and as our fur clumped together on our backs and fronts, our chest's fur joined as their own clumps, intertwined and connected by the water, sealing the hairs together. As our fur was saturated in water, it obscured our sheaths from view, but the heat was still there, and our own personal wetness only added to how badly both of us were turned on.

We stood there for at least five minutes, making out and pulling eachother's lower backs and butts together, to press our crotches together even more. He removed his hand from my back and I didn't feel it return for a minute, but when it did, he was beginning to lather our stomachs in shampoo. When his hands dove into the matter fur, it tugged and pulled as our hairs tried to stay together. It only hurt a little, and it was worth it when he was done with our chests and reached down and grabbed both of our parts with his soapy hand. I instinctually moaned and my snout slipped off of his as I let my head slide to rest on his shoulder.

He removed his hand and brought it up, washing the soap into my back fur, and I reached over pressed my thumb down on the shampoo dispencer. I started washinig him as well, and when we finished, we pulled away from eachother and rinsed off one after the other in the spray of water. After another minute of kissing and caressing eachother, we finally got out of the shower, dried off, and put on our clothes. We grabbed from the pile of clothes randomly, since we wore the same sizes, and didn't mind wearing eachother's clothes.

I put on the black tee, that had some weird symbol on it, and I had never known what it was, but now it reminded me of those on his knot. "Hey, Seth?"

"Yeah?" He was leaning in to the mirror, pulling the crust out of his eyelashes, something I was sure I was the only person who did that.

"What's this symbol even mean?" I gestured at the tee shirt, and he just snickered a little.

"Heh, right. Your parents suck.-"

"Well that was a given."

"True. It's from a video game called Oblivion. I think you'd like it, if it weren't for the fact that your parents can't stand the idea of magic, gays, or any other thing that's super amazing."

"Well, do you have it?"

"Yeah. I guess you could play it here."

"Oh, cool. What's it about?"

"It's an open world RPG, it's about a lot of things. End of the world, thieves, mages, warriors, emperors, demonic gods, and so on."

"Right, so everything my parents hate. Sounds like a wonderful game."

"You don't even know, the lore in that game is insane. Like, it's got an entire theory of creation, a history of all the gods, and how they fit in to the creation, and how they're worshipped, and how some aren't and... it's just intense."

"Jeez, and you get all that from one game?"

"Well, no, I went on it's wiki, and there's five games out, but still."

"Five!? How am I supposed to play all five?"

"You aren't, you're starting with four because I don't have Morrowind, and Oblivion and Skyrim are the best anyways."

"But, isn't there backstory stuff from the other games I need to know?"

"You start a new character each game."

"Oh. Huh, I guess I'll give it a shot."

"Good. ... How did we get on this conversation again?"

"I don't know, but- oh right! Um, this symbol reminds of the ones on your knot."

He gave me a questioning look, "Really? You're telling me that I have daedric writings on my dick?"

"Uhh... Sure?"

"That's not possible. And if it were, I'd definitely learn to read and write in daedric, just to add to the awesomeness of that."

"Uh, okay?"

"You'll get it when you play. Actually, let's do that now."
