Life with a Furry - Extra
#3 of Life with a Furry
Hello my fellow furries, are you doing fine?
It's been quite a long time since my last addition to this series, so I decided it's time for another one. This chapter is all about Rei - a fairly important character yet has so little appearance. Ironically, it's the longest chapter I've written so far. Enjoy!
WARNING: This story contains sexual acts between two males and furry on human. Also, as the story progresses, it gets cheesier and cheesier. Read at your own risk!
Rei walked into the class in his usual attire, except for the long-sleeved T-shirt which he worn to cover his badly wounded arms, or his incredibly foul mood. Trying as hard as he could, Rei only managed to suppress and keep his temper at bay, but his face was showing a message scarier than any threat: Touch me, and you're dead!
Sighing warily, the husky took his seat and waited for another school day to end.
(Last night)
Rei stood in front of his father's house, or mansion, or whatever the old man liked to call it. A successful businessman, the husky's father had managed to make himself a fortune (may be not as much as that of Leo's father, but still immense nonetheless) thanks to his crafty and ruthless policies; and this luxurious estate had been built using the money which could easily pay for dozen of orphanages or schools. Of course, that's his father's money, and the old man had the right to use it whichever way he liked, but Rei was strongly disgusted by that selfish and phony lifestyle, a reason why he never wanted to follow his father's footstep, leeching off people and ruining their lives just to sate his bottomless greed whilst hiding his true nature under a 'sophisticated businessman' demeanor.
To the young husky, the mansion was more like a 'shelter' than 'home'. Home was supposed to be the place holding one's happiness and dearest memories, yet so far, this estate had only dealt him with despair, sadness and nightmare. Rei loathed it, and made a vow to, one day, leave it forever.
Sighing, he walked through the main gate, crossing a huge garden decorated by various kinds of flower, exquisite marble sculptures and water fountains, all of which were astonishingly beautiful, but ironically, Rei himself, the young master of this mansion, couldn't enjoy them the slightest bit.
Even when he hadn't reached the front door, Rei could already hear the noises from the living room. His mom and dad seemed to be having another blazing row - just another typical day. Hiding behind the door, Rei quietly listened to the argument, which was somewhat more intense than usual.
"I've had enough!" came a woman's indignant cry. Rei's mother, a human lady, looked at her husband with teary eyes, "Just how many women have you slept with? Am I not your wife anymore?"
"For the last time: Shut your mouth!" Rei's father, a middle-aged but very handsome husky, and the splitting image of Rei himself, shouted back, "Talk dirty all you want, but nothing's valid until you show me evidence!"
Normally, any child would be mortally shocked to find out that his father had been cheating on his mother, but it wasn't Rei's case. Laughing nonchalantly, he made his way back to the gate and quickly got out of the mansion. First thing first, Rei wanted to escape this hate-filled place and found himself some peace, which meant another night out.
From an outsider's point of view, one might say Rei was cold-hearted, because he took in the news so indifferently, but the husky himself understood. What had just happened in the living room merely confirmed Rei's suspicion that his father no longer cared about his mother. In fact, Rei doubted if there had been any love in the first place.
Of course there were reasons for Rei to believe in his theory, since he'd done his homework very carefully and thoroughly. His father started off as nothing more than a lowlife employee, having no talents other than being shrewd, good-looking and on top of that, incredibly avaricious. He'd had no problem capturing the heart of Rei's mother, a romantic but airheaded and hopelessly naïve damsel who was (conveniently) the only daughter of a huge company's director. Like a duck to water, he advanced on his career ladder at a ridiculously fast pace, and finally got himself onto the seat which had once belonged to his father-in-law. Only then he began to reveal his underhanded natures to Rei's mother, who, at that time, had conceived her only child and was expecting to enjoy the happiest time of her life. So much for the woman's dream...
As an inevitable consequence of his parents' loveless union, Rei had never received any form of love from them. The husky's mother, of course, couldn't bring herself to love her son, the splitting image of her unfaithful husband. As for Rei's father, the old man simply used him as the (preserved) future hair of his company to enhance his public image.
To Rei, the pain of being treated like that by his own parents was excruciating. He'd once spent pretty much every day crying; wondering why mother and father were so cruel to him. He'd yearned to be taken to school in their loving embrace, to have them pat his head proudly every time he did something nice, to enjoy a common childhood that everyone was supposed to have.
Tears, however, eventually dried up, and once something could no longer remain warm, it started to freeze. The moment Rei realized the painful truth that his parents didn't love him, it'd also become clear to the husky that his name was a befitting one. 'Rei' signified the amount of affection his mother had for him - zero. To her, he was a non-existence son, an object of hatred; and as an act of retaliation, Rei decided that he would follow that suit - defying the very existence of everyone around him. The husky shut himself in, becoming a cold and distant person. His presence alone radiated an icy aura, almost like the air inside a blast chiller, which was only enhanced by his charming, flawless appearance.
But then, there was Leo.
Rei first met his best friend about some years ago, during an extravagant party held by the upper class and of course, Rei's father was one of them. The young husky spotted Leo in a corner, and he instantly took an interest in the Shiba Inu. His golden eyes reflected loneliness and otherworldly sorrow - two things Rei knew well. He had that expression every time he looked into a mirror.
Due to their similarities, the two quickly became buddies. They formed a mutual understanding and a brotherly bond. Rei discovered that Leo, in some ways, was the opposite of him: Bright and warm like the Sun whereas the husky himself was the cold and dark Moon. Then again, perhaps that's the reason why they complemented each other perfectly. At last, and for the first time in his life, Rei was able to open himself to another person. The husky considered Leo the turning point of his life, and pretty much wished for nothing but an ever-lasting friendship with the Shiba Inu.
Still, life didn't always go the way people wanted it to. One day, Rei suddenly noticed some changes in Leo, namely his sudden development of some weird habits. The Shiba Inu didn't require Rei's company anymore; instead, he spent an awful lot of time smiling to himself (creepy!) while staring dreamily to a distance. At that point, Rei had vaguely realized, and eventually confirmed that his friend was caught in the inescapable net of love. It was even more of a shock when Rei realized the person whom Leo got his eyes on was none other than Kouga, their quiet and hard-working but kinda run-of-the-mill classmate.
Nonetheless, having been with him for years, Rei was aware that once the Shiba Inu wanted something, he would go to any length to obtain it, even turning himself into a persistent stalker, and as a friend, what choice did Rei have besides supporting Leo?
By no means was it a coincident that he was present on the night when Kouga had almost been raped. Rei had always been watching Leo from a distance. He knew that night was the perfect opportunity for Leo to play the rescuing hero and confess his feelings to Kouga, all he needed was an extra boost in confidence, and Rei was the one to hammer that last wedge in place. Afterward, things worked out quite smoothly, and from the way Leo constantly giggled idiotically to himself ever since, it was safe to assume that the Shiba's wish had been granted.
Of course, no actions were without prices; and by helping Leo hook up with Kouga, Rei had also given up his position as the Shiba's priority. Sure, they were still buddies, but once people got drunk in the sweet nectar of love, they tended to act absent-mindedly as well as ignore everyone but their lover, and that's exactly Leo's current stage. Rei, however, didn't care. Leo had done enough for him and he deserved happiness. Now, he would retreat to his own world, still Leo's friend and loyal sidekick. And perhaps...waiting for someone to come and pull him out of the shadow. (Assuming that person existed.)
...
After having wolfed down a big bowl of ramen for dinner, Rei strolled along the street, looking for a place to spend the night (The husky wasn't one to let anything, including his mood, get between him and his meals). However, Rei couldn't focus as he marveled the city's elegant nightlife: The dazzling lights, the colorful advertisements, the vivacious sounds of people enjoying the night with their loved ones after a hard-working day...everything was so charming and picturesque, but to Rei, they were reminder of his hollow existence. Who was he, and where did he belong to in all that?
Lost in his thoughts, Rei failed to see two figures walking in front of him, who, likewise, didn't take notice of the approaching husky. Consequently, they collided and the impact knocked Rei's off his feet. Trying to ignore his sore rear, Rei quickly got up, but before he could apologize for his careless walking, one of the two - a wolf whose left eye was marked by two small scars - took the words out of his mouth, "Watch where you're going, asshole...Hey wait, it's you!"
...
"Huh? Did we meet somewhere before?" Rei questioned, knitting his eyebrows.
The other one, a tiger, studied Rei carefully from head to toe, and suddenly, his face broke into a snarl, "That's right, you once interfered with our business - You and that damned Shiba! If it hadn't been for you punks, we'd have had that human!"
Rei tilted his head slightly, and it hit him with the force of a running car. Flashing through his mind was the scene of a dark alley, a frightened human male who was about to be raped by two furries - a wolf and a tiger.
The husky grunted, "Sorry guys, I suck at remembering people's faces, especially scummy ones."
"The fuck did you just say?" the wolf growled, his scars twitched menacingly.
"Ballsy, aren't we? You do realize you're alone up against two of us?" the tiger said.
Of course he did, but Rei wasn't the kind who would easily let his anxiety surface. Still poker-faced, the husky asked, "Yeah yeah, so what exactly do you want?"
"Hmm, looking closely, you're quite exquisite...maybe not as cute as that human, but pretty and handsome." The tiger purred, eyeing Rei lustfully, "Part of me wants payback for you getting in our way last time, but an even bigger part wants to finish what we started. Long story short, we'll beat the crap out of you and then enjoy you."
"Now that you mentioned it, he does look tasty." the wolf chipped in, licking his muzzle, "Alright, let's pulverize this punk and give him some good fucking."
Rei frowned in disgust. And he thought this night wasn't bad enough, but apparently it'd just been worsened by these two. " You think you can win just by having two, but remember what happened last time you messed with my friend? I only say this once: Quit while you're ahead." he said defiantly.
"Sorry to burst your bubbles." the tiger sneered, "But last time was a fluke. You won because we were caught off guard, and you even had backup. This time, we've got ourselves a toy to make thus game even better."
The wolf chuckled maliciously before pulling out the handle of a bowie knife from his jacket, and Rei barely managed to swallow a gasp. An independent individual to the core, Rei was no stranger to brawls, for he knew in this fit of chaos known as the world, one could only depend on himself when being in a tight spot. The husky had trained to be a fairly skilled combatant, capable to fencing off several foes at once, but against armed opponents? That would require some luck.
Besides, Rei did take the tiger's words into account. During his and Leo's last encounter with these two, they'd had a crushing victory, but indeed, it was prominently influenced by the surprise element (plus Leo's murderous rage), and since Rei had never actually got the chance to fight the wolf and the tiger, he had no idea how good they really were. It didn't help that they even had a weapon now.
The wolf, perhaps sensed Rei's hesitation, chuckled evilly, "So there you have your choices. We can do this the easy way. Be a good boy and I promise the knife won't be needed. OR you can try struggling, and in that case, better be ready for some slice and dice."
If the wolf's plan was to break Rei's spirit, it'd certainly backfired, because his words were the final insult that caused Rei's fury to explode. Whether he was unarmed or outnumbered, the husky would never let anyone get away unpunished with making a fool out of him, especially these two filthy rapists. He could die trying, but Rei was determined to shove some well-deserved retribution up these two's asses, so next time they would have second thoughts about going around and trifling with others.
"Fine, I'll take the hard way." Rei announced, eyes flashing savagely, "But first, let's take this to somewhere else. An alley, for instance? I know scum like you are drawn to that place."
...
"Not too shabby, huh?" Rei panted, scoffing at the two motionless figures under his feet. His two (intended) rapists now lay bloody and crippled in a puddle of crimson liquid, unconscious; their faces looked as if they had been through a surgical modification in the worst ways possible. Rei, against the odds, had managed to pull this one off and returned from the brutal fight in one piece...well, almost.
The husky grimaced and looked at his arms, lined by cut after cut; blood streamed out from the wounds and drenched his silver-grey fur. Obviously the knife had been utilized to quite an extend, and Rei, however hard he tried, couldn't avoid all of the vicious slashes, so he had no choice but to block them with his arms. The obvious reason being that Rei didn't want his handsomeness to be ruined, and more importantly, facial wounds were more difficult to conceal than that of arms. The husky didn't want anyone to pity or worry about him, especially Leo.
Sighing, Rei staggered his way out of the alley; his body rapidly growing giddy from the copious amount of blood he was losing. Consequently, Rei tripped and almost fell flat on his face if it hadn't been for a pair of arms holding him in place.
The husky brought his head up, and was greeted by the sight of a young human boy, "Oii, are you okay, oii!!!...Oh god, your arms! What happened?"
"Nothing!" Rei snapped, yanking himself away from the boy. Somehow, the way this boy looked at him concernedly with those innocent eyes didn't sit well with Rei.
"Nothing? You call this nothing?" the boy said exasperatedly, gesturing at Rei's bloody form. He then rummaged through a paper bag and, to the husky's amazement, pulled out a full set of first aid, "Don't move. I'm gonna patch you up."
"Who asked you to...ugh!" Rei winced, stumbling against the wall as his legs trembled and began to give out.
"Stop being stubborn! Do you want to die?" the boy chided, forcefully grabbing Rei's arm as he began to work. Exhausted, the husky could do nothing but watch as a complete stranger tended his wounds. He tried to find a sight of dishonesty or self-interest scheme in those eyes, but the only thing they showed was focus and genuineness. After a while, Rei gradually came to accept the human's care; an unexplainable warm glow formed in his chest. He certainly wasn't used to this type of kindness, but the alien feeling did have some content.
As his pain subsided, Rei's vision became clear. The husky took a closer look at his helper, who was too carried away to notice that he was being studied. Oddly enough, Rei found the boy's facial features surprisingly familiar. What frustrated the husky was the fact that his addled mind failed to figure out who this boy was, or whether Rei had seen him before.
"That should do it." The boy declared as he tightened the final bandage around Rei's arms. He sat back and inspected his handiwork, "Man, some nasty cuts these are. How did you end up like this? Fighting gangsters?"
At last, Rei cracked, a hearty chuckle, "Almost. What's about you? Isn't it quite convenient that you happened to have bandages when I needed them?"
"Pff...My house just ran out of first aid, so I have to buy some. Consider it your luck." The boy responded matter-of-factly, "Anyway, you obviously can't walk without tripping yourself in this stage, and my brother really doesn't appreciate me bringing strangers home, so tell me where yours is. At least I can take you there."
"Why are you being so nice with me? I don't see anything you can gain from this." the question escaped Rei's mouth before he could silence it.
The boy seemed offended. His eyes gleamed dangerously as his jovial expression turned into a stern look, "Listen up! I help you not because I want your gratitude or anything. Keep them all to yourself, but don't you dare think of me as an opportunist. Treat people the way you want to be treated, brother always tells me that, and I also hate watching others suffer before my eyes, not if I can help it!"
The human's reaction left Rei totally flabbergasted. Being the only child in a wealthy family, Rei had never been short of money, but genuineness and kindness were something too foreign and luxurious for the husky, and now, a stranger was offering them both to him, without demanding anything in return. Was there really such a naïve person?
"Okay, you're kind, I admit," Rei said and tried to hold up his hands in a surrendering pose, which wasn't easy due to his injured arms, "But I can't go home right now. Just get me a cab and I'll find somewhere to stay."
Thankfully, the boy wasn't a nosy brat, as he just nodded knowingly before sliding Rei's arm over his shoulder. As the boy helped him get up, Rei was astonished by how much strength that small frame could muster. Apparently, the boy was stronger than he looked.
During his last seconds with the boy before getting into a cab, Rei only managed to utter one question, "What's your name? That's at least I should know."
"Kazuma." said the human, his lips curving into a parting smile, and in that instance, Rei failed to notice the slightly faster pace of his heartbeat.
(End of flashback)
And that's the reason why Rei felt so frustrated now.
The time he'd spent with Kazuma was so short that he wouldn't even consider the boy a distant acquaintance, but ever since last night, the human had left him mystified. Somehow, Rei had a feeling that Kazuma meant more, so much more to him than a kind-hearted helper, and no matter how hard he tried, the husky just couldn't shake that thought. He wanted to see the boy again, to find out more about him, and to unravel the knot of questions in his chest, or just to see his warm, heart-melting smile again. Still, the world isn't as small as people assume it would be, and Rei knew the chance of him having another meeting with Kazuma was extremely thin, if not entirely impossible.
Eventually school came to an end, and whilst everyone, including Leo and Kouga, had already left, Rei still sat there; struggling amidst his thoughts; until the sound of opening door made his canine ears perk up, followed by a girl's voice, "Rei, why are you still here?"
"I'm about to ask the same thing. What are you coming back here for?" Rei countered, looking at the one talking to him - Kaoru, a human girl and, if he recalled correctly, one of Kouga's close friends.
Kaoru walked to Kouga's table and picked up a blue notebook, "That idiot forgot this, so he asked me to come here and get it for him."
"Why didn't he do it himself?" Rei inquired.
"Stuck with his part time job," Kaoru shrugged, "One of his colleagues called in sick, so Kouga has to work overtime today. I know it can't be helped, but leaving his brother alone at home like that, jeez..."
"He has a brother?" Rei asked, surprised.
"Yeah, a little brother. I don't know much about him though." Kaoru responded, "Well, gotta go now. See you tomorrow."
Rei looked at Kouga's empty seat and his notebook; a strange idea forming in his mind, "Hey Kaoru."
"Yes?"
"This may sound strange but...would you mind giving that notebook to me? I'll bring it to Kouga's home?" Rei offered, sounding a bit sheepish.
Kaoru shot the husky an unnerving, suspicious look. Luckily, Rei's excuse came almost as fast as his idea, "I just want to know a bit more about Kouga, since he seems to grown quite close to my pal Leo lately; no bad intents included, really." he snorted, convincingly making the face of a poor, wrongly accused pup.
Things went silent several minutes, but Kaoru finally nodded as she reluctantly handed Rei the blue pad, "Then...I guess I'll be counting on you."
"No problem!" Rei said with a toothy and surprisingly friendly grin that even the husky himself didn't know he had, "One last thing though, I haven't had his address."
...
"Go along this road till you reach its end, and then turn left..." Rei murmured as he tried to recall Kaoru's instructions and finally, he was greeted by the described house's sight.
In term of appearance, the residence didn't strike Rei as an impressive one, especially when compared to his father's mansion. It was a simple 2-flat, white-painted but well-kept house which gave off a cozy and charming aura. Just by looking at the house, Rei could easily tell its owners, namely Kouga and his brother, were neat and humble individuals, which was a relief as Rei didn't want to watch his buddy Leo end up with some lazy-ass, sloppy showboat.
He rang the doorbell and waited. After a short while, an irritated but welcoming voice came from the other side of the door, "Brother, I thought you're working overtime today, why home so early?"
The husky almost got a seizure. That voice...it couldn't_be! But there was absolutely no mistake here. Rei took back what he'd thought earlier. The world _is indeed a small place.
The door creaked open, and time seemed to freeze in that awkward moment when both parties looked at each other, wide-eyed.
"You...The one from last night!" Kazuma noted, eyes fixing on his unexpected guess.
So obvious was the remark that Rei was tempted to laugh and say something like 'well, duh!, but he managed not to. Putting on his most polite smile, Rei replied wryly, "Why, thank you for remembering, but today, this stubborn guy doesn't come here to get patched up."
The red tint on Kazuma's cheeks proved his embarrassment, but Rei found it rather cute. The husky chuckled, "Last night I didn't get the chance to introduce myself, right? The name's Rei, your brother's classmate. Kouga forgot this at school so I brought it here for him." He pulled out the blue notebook and handed it to Kazuma.
"Err...uhm..." The boy faltered, apparently still trying to digest the idea of Rei being his brother's friend, a close one to add, since Kouga would never go around and give his address away unless it was his close friends.
"Well I guess that's all." Rei offered, "Thanks again for helping me yesterday."
Without waiting for a respond, Rei immediately took his leave. As much as he wanted to stay and spend a bit more time with Kazuma, the husky knew it would undoubtedly look suspicious, considering their relationship hadn't even exceeded acquaintanceship. Besides, now that he'd got a hold of Kazuma's whereabouts, Rei had plenty of time to approach the human. Haste makes waste. I can't rush, or I'll ruin everything, the husky told himself mentally
"Wait!" Kazuma called, causing Rei to cease his footsteps, "Yes?"
"At least let me thank you."
"There's no need to." Rei chuckled, "You helped me, and I helped your brother, so we're even."
"Even my ass...You owe me, so you repay me, not my brother." Kazuma pointed out.
"And your brother owes me, so he should repay me, not you." Rei retorted, amusement masking his face, "Besides, didn't you say big brother doesn't like having strangers in his house?"
"A friend of my brother is no stranger. C'mon, it's getting hot here, so why don't you just come in and cool down." The boy offered again, his voice containing a hint of inexplicable desperation.
Shrugging, Rei hid the devilish glimmer in his eyes behind a hesitant manner while struggling to keep his tail from wagging. If there was anything that defined 'naïve', it would be a prey offering itself to a predator. The remark he'd made last night about Kazuma was absolutely correct. But then, it would be rude of him to refuse Kazuma's gratitude? Just this one, Rei decided to take advantage of the boy's hospitality.
...
As Rei took his seat on the couch in the living room, Kazuma set a cup of coffee on the table in front of him, "Here, make yourself at home."
The corner of the husky's muzzle twitched in sync with his mental question, He's expecting to cool me off with this? Nonetheless, Rei lifted the steaming cup and brought it to his snout, taking a whiff of the drink's aroma, before sipping it. His face brightened at the taste: Underneath the layer of dark, bitter initials was a rich, creamy and incredibly sweet flavor. They harmonized perfectly and hit all the right notes, leaving an unforgettable flavor on his taste buds before being absorbed by his body, making him feel invigorated.
Sitting opposite to him, the human winked, "How do you like my special coffee?"
"What did you put in here?" Rei inquired, taking another sip.
"Milk," said Kazuma proudly, "Coffee has a fragrant smell, no doubts, but I think it's just too bitter. A touch of milk helps balance and increase the flavor while the sugar provides you with energy, making you feel warm and full. Because normal milk is too runny, I choose condensed milk."
A touch, he said? Just from the drink's thickness, Rei could estimate how much milk had been poured into this cup. He decided not to mention it, though, "Interesting. Kouga taught you how to make this?"
The boy blushed and scratched his head awkwardly, "No, this is actually my recipe. I've practiced making it many times, but you're the first to ever drink this coffee besides myself."
"In other words, I'm sort of like...your guinea pig?" Rei noted, casting a (fake) accusing look at the human.
Kazuma shuffled uncomfortably as he was seemingly intimidated by the husky's piercing silver eyes; and Rei suddenly felt like relishing in teasing the boy and having him in a corner. Part of him scolded himself for enjoying that twisted thought, but it was well worth as long as he got to enjoy the adorable face of an off-balanced Kazuma.
"No, I just...I know you're really tired, so I wanted to make you something easy to drink." The boy faltered, fidgeting nervously in an attempt to justify himself.
Rei's heart skipped a beat and this time, he _did_notice it. If something could make him giddier than the milk-incorporated coffee, it was the fact that Kazuma cared so deeply about his well-being, even more than the husky himself. He still had troubles registering that unfamiliar kindness, but he couldn't deny the warmth it was bringing...The more time he spent with Kazuma, the more attached Rei grew to him. This boy intrigued the husky to no end.
"It's okay..." Rei said quickly, "Hey, I was kidding, don't beat yourself over it."
"Y-yeah..." the human inhaled, having regained his composure. He was wondering how to improve the mood when a well-timed reprieve turned itself in. Kazuma's stomach began to grow, drawing him to a new topic, albeit with some embarrassment, "It's getting late. Why don't you stay for lunch? I'll make us something to eat."
"Wait, you'll do the cooking?"
Rei certainly didn't mean to blurt that out so doubtfully, but it was too late to fix or regret anything. Kazuma huffed and replied flatly, "Well yes, sorry if that shocks you."
"Sorry, I didn't mean...well...err...I was wondering where you learnt to cook, really!" Rei spluttered, changing the subject to cover his not-so-polite remark.
Kazuma's expression softened as a smile slid across his face, "I'm self-taught." The boy glanced at the wall on his left, on which laid a small frame containing a picture of him, his brother Kouga and a kind-hearted looking elder couple, all were smiling contently. Inhaling deeply, Kazuma began, "Since our grandparents passed away; Kouga has taken the roles of, not only my big brother, but also my parents. He works so hard to support me, but in return, I've been nothing but his burden. I can't stand my own uselessness, that's why...I want to help my brother. I want him to at least have a decent meal every time he comes home."
A surge on unknown feeling hit Rei, and it took the husky to realize it was envy - For a split second, he was envious of Kouga. He wanted Kazuma's care and attention for himself and himself alone! However, Rei quickly scolded himself for having that unreasonable thought, as it was only natural for brothers to take care of each other. Leave that aside, Rei couldn't help admiring the boy's sense of responsibility. Compared to his peers, Kazuma was much more mature and compassionate.
Still, enthusiasm alone couldn't help one accomplish anything. As he waited for Kazuma in the living room, Rei's nostril was suddenly assaulted by the smell of intensely burning oil and over spiced food, which was so dreadful that it made him dizzy and nauseous. Ignoring his rebelling stomach and the urge to throw up, Rei managed to follow the smell into the kitchen where he found Kazuma, struggling with his stir-fry pan. Rei eyed the ongoing dish while trying to suppress the swelling sensation in his throat, ultimately came to a conclusion that if the boy insisted on feeding them his whatever-stir-fry, they were bound to get food poisoning.
"Kazuma, your milk coffee was top-notch, but that dish will make even the healthiest people sick." Rei commented between coughs.
The boy shuddered and turned around, looking mortified "Sorry, I-I tried my best."
"I know, and I appreciate your effort, but if we eat that, there's a big chance you and I will both end up in the hospital." The husky continued, "Would you mind if I, uhm, take over?"
Kazuma eyed the husky considerately, obviously torn between the ideas of having his guess cook for him or feeding his guess poisoned food. The first option didn't sound like something a good host should do, but the latter was even worse. Left without any other choice, the boy nodded and stepped aside, letting Rei handle the kitchen.
And the husky didn't disappoint. He quickly set to work; his speed and reflexes comparable to that of an experienced chef. Kazuma watched in speechless awe as his guess demonstrated impressive culinary skills, until he found his words again, "Why are you so good at this?"
"Some circumstances..." Rei chuckled, a bitter chuckle. In this father's mansion, first-class chefs and extravagant dishes weren't unfamiliar sights, but still, even since his childhood, Rei had developed a hobby of cooking for himself, as he considered it a basic and essential skill - complementing to his independent nature. Moreover, preparing and making his own food meant Rei could adjust the flavor to his likings, and in the end, he always pretended that they were comfort food made for him by his mother.
Over time, Rei gradually came to discard his childish and pathetic imagination, but his love for cooking remained intact and only grew bigger, to the point of wishing to be a chef. Nothing would please the husky more than being able to make such delicious food that would bring people joy from the first bite.
...
"Whoa!!!" Kazuma squealed, looking hungrily at the steaming plates in front of him, "These look delicious!"
"Save that line for after you've eaten them." Rei replied, grinning from ear to ear.
They dug in. Each person, however, had their own things to enjoy. For Kazuma, it was obviously the mouthwatering dishes served to him. For Rei, it was the sight of the human eating his food in an eagerly childlike and satisfied manner. Moreover, that he'd actually cooked for someone besides himself amazed Rei as much as the 'family feeling' he was experiencing by sharing a table with a stranger.
Suddenly, Kazuma frowned. He looked at the plates, then at Rei thoughtfully and lowered his chopsticks. The husky inquired nervously, his ears flattening, "Bad flavor?"
The younger male shook his head, "No, they're all really delicious, but I sensed something else, almost like...a deep and excruciating sadness. May be I'm in no position to ask, but...is there something bothering you?"
Rei's jaw almost dropped as he was awestruck to the uttermost. As far as he concerned, mind reading an extremely difficult and advanced skill to master, yet this boy, just by eating his food, was able to reach a greater depth in Rei's heart. Such perceptiveness was completely out of this world!
The husky stared at the boy in front of him, trying to memorize every single detail, whilst wondering if he was looking at his long-awaited special person - the one that would free him from his own darkness.
Kazuma felt the heat rise to his cheeks as he finally noticed Rei's eyes, which were fixed on him all the time, "R-Rei, my question...you still haven't answered it."
"I can't..." Rei replied, eyes glimmering with sorrow, "At least for now, but I promise you: One day, I'll tell you everything."
...
"Thanks for coming today. You were really great help." Kazuma said appreciatively.
Rei laughed heartily, "Stating the obvious much? I'm always great help."
"Yeah, said the fool who couldn't writhe his way out of an alley last night." The boy retorted, but Rei simply laughed at the jab. The husky continued, "Say, Kazuma, do you still want to learn cooking?"
"Of course, but...err, I'm done with self-teaching. Perhaps it's better for an amateur like me to try something more fundamental...Cookbooks, for instance?"
"I have a better idea. If you want to, I can teach you." The husky offered.
"Really?" Kazuma exclaimed, before blushing as he noticed his overexcited tone, "No, I mean...it'd cause you a lot of trouble, so..."
"So what? Boy, even I don't mind, why should you bother to?" Rei added matter-of-factly, his whiskers twitching playfully.
"If you insist, then I suppose..." the human finally gave a shy nod. Rei smiled triumphantly, satisfied as the fish had taken the bait, "Then it's settled. Oh, and one more thing, I'd appreciate if you can keep this whole thing our little secret. Don't let anyone know, even your brother."
"Eh...why not?" the boy inquired.
"I still have a reputation to keep." Rei winked, "Just between you and me, but as of now, no one but you knows I can cook. A guy doing that...well, let's just say he won't earn much respect."
"I don't see any problem with a guy cooking?" Kazuma commented, his voice stern and resolute.
"You think I do?" Rei responded sarcastically, "Sadly, there's a thing known as prejudice. Lots of folk are stuck with it, and we all have to put up a front when dealing with those people. Sometimes I wonder who my real self is, and whether I'm losing my way or not?' the last part as if he was lamenting himself.
"So is it your real self talking to me now?" from out of nowhere, the boy asked.
Rei was caught off guard by the question, but at the same time, glad for it. A huge grin accompanied his answer, "I'm me, Rei the husky, 100%, in front of you."
Kazuma's face reddened with joy and Rei was like, _dang, this boy needs to work on controlling his blushing rate, or I might lose control and eat him up for real! _
"Have you come up with any idea for our learning schedule, teacher?" the boy questioned playfully.
"Your brother goes out every evening for his part time job, and that's when we'll learn...right here, of course. Piece of cake." Rei replied.
"I know cakes. I eat them all the time."
"Then perhaps I should teach you how to make one." Rei returned the joke, "A fruit cheesecake, for instance? It's fruity, cheesy and sexy - three of my favorite qualities."
The two shared another guffaw. Once he was done, Rei asked, "Okay, enough fooling around. When do you want to start? Right away, or may be a few days break."
"Tomorrow."
"Eager to learn, aren't we?" the husky smirked, "See you tomorrow then."
"You're leaving now?" Kazuma asked, fidgeting.
"Duh, this is your house, isn't it, unless you_had any spare room for rent, and in that case, I'd be glad to _move in." Rei grinned. Luckily, Kazuma didn't resister the joke as he just managed to utter 'wait here for a moment!' before disappearing into the house, much to Rei's confusion.
A short moment later, the young male finally emerged again. Still panting, he requested, "Give me your hand."
"For what?"
"Just do it!" the boy insisted, raising his voice in a commanding manner. Rei flinched, gave a 'whatever'-kind-of shrug and did what he'd been told. A few seconds later, the husky felt something being placed into his open palm - an IPod and a note.
"These are...?"
"You can leave now." Kazuma said quickly.
"But what are these...?"
"Good night! See you tomorrow!" the boy practically shouted as he slammed the door shut at Rei's nose. Overwhelmed by bewilderment, the husky just stood there, spluttering, "The heck was that all about?"
Wanting an explanation, Rei unfolded the piece of paper in his hand. A grin creased his face, which only widened through every word, to the point that Rei was afraid his ears would fall off.
Words just can't express how grateful I'm for your help, and even though you didn't demand anything in return, I still want to give you something. If you consider me a friend and a pupil, please accept this. The ipod you're holding contains my favorite song. It's really beautiful, and I hope you'll enjoy it like I do.
P/s: Remember to bring me back that ipod tomorrow.
The husky gazed at the handwritten name of the song - 'Kiseki'...Miracle, huh? Sounded corny enough. Rei knew instantly that he would enjoy it. Still grinning, he shouted at the top of his lungs, regardless Kazuma was listening or not, "Thank you!"
Little did the husky know, at the other side of the door, a blushing young male was pressing his hand against the hammering heart in his chest, blushing as he did.
...
Although the two were mutually eager for their cooking lesson, the course's first few days weren't exactly what they could describe as 'exciting'. In fact, 'nightmare' was the only word sufficiently bad to summary those days. Rei made a huge discovery about Kazuma's cooking skills and knowledge - They were about as brilliant as a cloudy day. He had to go back to the basic principles, making sure the boy knew what he was doing.
Fortunately, Kazuma was a quick learner, and when they finally overcame the rough start, Rei noticed that his pupil was really gifted. He could easily master all technical abilities for a chef, and more importantly, he had an amazing imagination when it came to combining flavors to bring out a better one.
Needless to say, Kouga was utterly surprised when he came home and saw the awaiting meals made by none other than his supposedly clumsy brother. It was even more of a shock to the human as he noticed the food was not only edible but also delicious.
Of course, cooking wasn't all the two concentrated in, as Rei's true purpose was to, ultimately, approach Kazuma. A devoted teacher, Rei eventually gained the young human's trust and they began to share stories about each other, from casual to personal. The husky learned a lot more about Kazuma as well as Kouga, and he couldn't help admiring the latter's will and determination. Kouga shouldered the burden alone for his little brother's sake. He was a real role model of a big brother, and more importantly, he wasn't faking it. No wonder why Kazuma looked up to him so much.
Also, that helped Rei explain the unknown feelings he always bore toward Kazuma - a yearning to protect and make the boy happy, or simply be with him. But why was he having those feelings? Why did his heartbeat always rocket when being with Kazuma? Why did the boy's image always pop up in his head? An endless stream of questions bombarded his mind for a good while, until it struck Rei hard in the head: He was doing the same thing his buddy Leo had once done. That dorky, honest Shiba Inu had his heart taken by a human, and now it was Rei's turn.
He was in love with Kazuma.
Still, when Rei thought he'd had his problem solved, another one instantly showed up: Should he confess his feelings to Kazuma? So far, the husky hadn't found any evidence claiming that Kazuma was interested in men or same-sex relationship. Rei, stuck again, spent days after days thinking about his choices, as well as their respective outcomes. He could remain silent and let things go on as they did now. That way, he could continue spending time with Kazuma, at the cost of having to conceal his feelings for the boy. The other option was nothing short of a bet, with the husky's whole future at stake. It's all or nothing, either he succeeded and had everything, or failed and finally drowned in his shadow. The chance wasn't fifty-fifty, but one hundred-zero, and Rei didn't know if he had enough courage risk it all.
However, when the husky reflected himself more deeply, he came to realize that his life, so far, had been almost nothing but a lie. Rei parents' marriage was a lie, an underhanded trick his father used to promote himself. His demeanors were a lie (expect for some rare moments when he was with Leo), a façade he put up to isolate himself, to mask away his cravings for warmth and affection. It's impossible for anyone to always be his real self, that's for sure, but what was the point of being alive if he had to be a liar even in front of his loved one?
As luck would have it, just when Rei had finally made up his mind, an opportunity, hilariously, offered itself to the husky.
...
It was a regular Saturday afternoon, and as usual, the husky was to continue fulfilling his role as a culinary tutor. Then, both stopped for a short break in the living room while helping themselves to coffee and confection.
"Rei..." Kazuma called softly.
"Yeah?" the husky replied absent-mindedly as he tried to come up with some confessing lines, but at this rate, he doubted anything would pop up before he had to go home.
"Do you, uhm, have any schedule for tonight?" the boy inquired.
"No." Rei managed another mind-on-air reply.
"Then would you like to stay to dinner?" Kazuma offered.
"Dinner...wait,what?"
"Okay, that reaction was overkill?" the boy chuckled, bemusedly eyeing a startled Rei.
"Well I do appreciate the invitation, but I'm afraid I can't build up an appetite with big bro Kouga around, interrogating me about what I've been doing with you." Rei remarked with a snort.
"Don't worry; Kouga told me he's hanging out with a few friends and he'll stay at them tonight. We're totally off the grid" Kazuma grinned.
Rei was tempted to smirk. Kouga, hanging out with friends? What an utterly bad lie (which, probably, could only fool his naïve little brother). Who else Kouga could be possibly hanging out with but a certain Shiba Inu who just happened to be Rei's best friend? Still, the husky had something more important to focus on than trying to blow Kouga's cover, and honestly, he wasn't that much of a douche.
"Well I guess there's no reason to decline your offer." Rei shrugged, "By the way, who will be responsible for dinner?"
Kazuma gave the husky a look, "The nice and handsome host: I, of course! Let me show you how far I've come. May be after this,I would be the one to do the teaching."
"Don't go overboard with the self-flattering, especially in front of your own teacher." Rei flashed his pupil a challenging smirk, "When someone acts cocky but fails to deliver, they'll get their asses handed to them."
The younger male's face assumed a brilliant shade of red as he stomped out of the room, "Just you wait here and see!"
Rei'd already had what he wanted: Kazuma's cute, pouting expression was better than any delicacies, but at the same time, it made Rei feel like dying inside, for this might be the last time he got to look at the boy's endearing face.
Rummaging through his pocket, the husky pulled out an IPod, his IPod; colored silver to match his fur. Ever since Kazuma gave him that song, Rei wondered how many times he'd listened to it. Simple yet elegant, the lyrics captivated Rei as it told a genuine and beautiful story about love - That meeting the person you loved was a miracle itself; and as long as lovers stayed together and remained faithful to each other, even the darkest days would feel bright and warm.
...
The evening was more or less peaceful.
During dinner, Rei was quite generous with his praises, and he found something intriguing about Kazuma's reaction - a flawless mixture of joy, pride and shyness. Personally, the husky found no reason to get embarrassed when someone complimented him, since he could distinguish real praises to fake, empty ones.
Afterwards, the two had a typical boys' night in, completed with fiction movies, buttery popcorns and hours of video games. Rei might be an expert of many things, but when it came to games, Kazuma completely stomped, not that Rei actually cared. As of now, his sole focus was to enjoy this moment with Kazuma to his full extend.
(A few hours later)
"Tonight was one of the best. Thank you, Rei!" Kazuma noted gleefully as he saw his canine tutor off, "See you tomorrow."
"You're welcome, but I'm sorry, there won't be any tomorrow." The husky's voice was shaky as the front he'd been putting up began to shatter.
"Oh, already have plans?" Kazuma required innocently, not quite getting what Rei was trying to said
"No, I mean...This will be the last time we see each other. I won't come back again." Rei struggled to explain while holding together his composure. Every word felt like a white-hot blade cutting straight into his heart.
"Cut the joke, it's not even funny!" Kazuma chided, waving his hand dismissively. Rei remained silent, and it struck the young human, "Rei, tell me that was a joke!"
"Please, calm down and hear me out." the husky pleaded, "It pains me as much as you, but I have no other choice, because...you're important to me."
"Huh?"
The husky could literally feel blood rushing to his face, giving his cheeks a pinkish hue under the white-silver fur, "Remember that night you helped me? We only met briefly, yet you left me so intrigued, like a memory that I should have treasured slipping away from my grip.
But then, by either fate or chance, I got to see you again, then I realized something important: With you, I can be who I am, true and wholesome. I started to develop strange feelings. When I was near you, my face would get hotter. When I closed my eyes, I would always see you. I tried to put those sights into words, but in the end, only three popped out. You probably know what they're, don't you?"
"No...I don't..." Kazuma faltered as he too, began to blush.
"I love you." Rei confessed, and dropped his canine ears when noticing the look of disbelief on Kazuma's face, "I know. Disgusting, isn't it? But I won't regret telling you. I just want you to know who I really am."
"What are you talking about?" Kazuma was on the verge of shouting, "I, well...I actually think it's not disgusting at all. As long as you truly love someone, who that person is really doesn't matter."
The husky managed a sad, bitter smile, "Thanks, for understanding and accepting me, but in the end, my feelings are still one-sided, and I don't want you to feel sorry for me."
"I'm not feeling sorry for you!" Kazuma stated, "The truth is...I've been waiting for you to say that, for a very long time, because I-I feel the same way about you, Rei."
Rei's ears buzzed. 'I feel the same way about you' - Weren't those words exactly what he'd always wished to hear, but why couldn't he accept them? Was it because they were too good to be real? The husky stammered, "No...that can't be. I-I never noticed anything."
"Even if you're my brother's friend, you honestly think I would let a stranger whom I have no feelings for get into my house?" Kazuma said matter-of-factly, "I, too, can't stop thinking about you after that night, not only because you're the most handsome guy I've ever met," the boy's face turned into a darker shade of red as he spoke, "But I also see something else under your bloody, battered form - something that makes me attracted to you, and that's gentleness. You're not disgusting, Rei. You're wonderful, and you have me by your side."
"Stop it! You don't know what you're talking about." Rei insisted, shaking his head disapprovingly, "May be I should just leave now."
"Stop right there! What are you trying to do?" the younger male wailed, "You confessed to me, but when I said I love you back, you turn me down. Are you toying with me?"
"No, I really meant every word, and that's why I'm doing this." The husky confirmed, "You're too young to understand this complex world, Kazuma. If I stay with you, I'll only bring you trouble...or even danger, and I can't let that happen."
"So your solution is to run away like a coward? You think that's really for my sake?" Kazuma inquired furiously.
"..."
"You claim you love me, but you give neither of us a chance. You refuse to think about a possible future for us!" the boy continued.
"..."
"Worst of all, you can't trust me, or even yourself. And you call this 'love'? Pathetic!" Kazuma concluded.
Silence fell between them as Rei remained quiet while Kazuma looked at the husky nervously as he realized he might have just overreacted.
Then, out of nowhere, an arm closed firmly around Kazuma's waist and pulled him towards its master. Pressed against Rei, the boy spluttered, "Rei...What're you doing?"
"Once you've crossed this line, there's no turning back." the husky whispered, "Are you sure you still want to take the risk?"
Hope beamed in the young male's eyes, "There weren't really any lines or risks to begin with."
"Even if we lose sight of tomorrow?" Rei inquired again.
"I only lose sight of tomorrow when you no longer care about me."
"Even if I do something stupid and hurt you?" the husky questioned yet again.
Kazuma grinned, "I'll make you an excuse."
Holding Kazuma's smaller form close against his, Rei ran his hand along the boy's face, feeling the soft, silky texture while giggling to himself.
"What's so funny?" Kazuma inquired.
"We almost broke up before we even started dating." the husky said bemusedly.
"And you're saying that we should...?"
"Why, just like they always say. Kiss and make up." Rei's silver eyes flashed slyly, and before Kazuma could even react, his lips were invaded by the husky's muzzle.
The human's eyes widened as he was caught off guard, but he offered no resistance at all. The initials were quite awkward as Kazuma didn't know what to do, until he felt Rei's tongue poking his lips, and parted them to grant the husky access to his mouth. The afterward sensation was unbelievable to Kazuma as the slippery appendage snaked its way into his mouth and explored every corner inside. After a while, the boy began to kiss back as his instinct kicked in; his tongue entwined with Rei's as he tried futilely to get the upper hand, only to be utterly dominated by a much stronger and more experienced husky.
As much as they wanted to continue making out, the two eventually ran out of breath and were forced to part. Looking bemusedly at Kazuma's dazed face, the husky said, "I want to ask you a question, which you can ignore it if you want, although I kinda feel like you've already answered it."
"What?" Kazuma tilted his head, greatly confused.
"Was that your first kiss?"
The boy's blush confirmed it, "Haven't got any chance to practice."
"I can tell. You pretty much stood there and let me do all the job." Rei teased with a cheeky grin, which only made Kazuma flush harder, "Excuse me for being an amateur, but what about you? You seem to have done this many times."
Much to his surprise...and chagrin, Rei shrugged as if he'd just admitted a trivial matter, "Course I have." The husky almost laughed when he noticed the disappointment on his lover's face, "What's with that look? It's not like you think. Yes, I used to experience some, err, relationships, but all of them were short-lived and never extended beyond kisses or hugs. I want to save my first for the person I truly love - who, I believe, is standing in front of me right now."
"And how am I supposed to believe you?" Kazuma asked, still a bit sulky. Little did the boy know he'd already had one leg in a certain husky's devious trap.
"Want me to prove?" Rei smirked, "Once I'm done, we'll be all 'tie up' and you'll never get away from me again."
Kazuma barely had time to register the pun when a furry hand snuck under his shirt and began to caress his bare flesh, forcing a moan from his lips, "Hah...Rei...w-wait..."
"Can't hear ya." Rei replied huskily as he continued to stroke the sensitive skin while pressing their bodies together to turn on the heat.
"Rei...wait...please..." Kazuma's meek, pleading voice turned hoarse, which knocked Rei out of his frenzy. The husky removed his hand and slightly backed away, hanging his head in shame, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have forced you...But don't worry, I promise you this will never happen again."
Surprisingly enough, Kazuma smiled softly and pulled the apologetic husky closer to him again, "You get me wrong. As much as I can't wait to be bonded with you, don't you think it'll be better if we move it to somewhere more private."
"I thought this is your house?" Rei teased.
"Oh, for heaven's sake! If we're going to have sex, at least do it somewhere comfortable. You expected me to experience my first time here? At least consider my room." the human complained irritatedly.
Rei chuckled, "Your wish is my command."
...
That was the first time Rei entered Kazuma's room, and he was more or less impressed. The walls were painted vivid blue, and most of the space was covered in sci-fi film and video game posters. CD discs and novels scattered on the floor. On Kazuma's desk lay his blue IPod, and Rei could see the latest song it'd played, which was none other than 'Kiseki'.
The husky smiled. People said music brought people closer to each other, and indeed, the song was one of the strongest links connecting him and Kazuma, judging from the fact that it was the first gift Kazuma had ever truly given him (not out of sympathy or anything else), as well as the last piece of music they'd listened to before confessing to each other.
"Sorry about the mess. I'm not exactly the tidiest person around." the boy admitted awkwardly.
"That, I could care less about. C'mere." Rei ordered and, without waiting for a respond, pulled Kazuma to him as they share another kiss, more wildly, more passionately thanks to the love, lust and anticipation fueling their inner fires. In the moment of heated pleasure, they both fell softly onto the bed, Rei lying atop Kazuma; their bodies brushed firmly against each other.
As he broke the kiss, Kazuma panted heavily, "Should I turn on the air conditioner? It's getting really hot in here."
"Good idea. I have a better one, though." The husky gave a lewd, toothy grin as he leaned toward his lover like a prey looming over its prey, "It's simple. You're obviously...overdressed."
"You aren't trying to seduce me, are you?" Kazuma asked mockingly, but Rei didn't seem to mind, "Matter of fact, I am."
As if to prove it, the husky's naughty, impulsive hand went to work again and its first target was none other than Kazuma's shirt, or rather, what concealed beneath. Having prepared this time, Kazuma only relaxed and let his body enjoy his lover's gentle touch, feeling his flesh being caressed, his nubs being stimulated. Young and inexperienced, the boy wasn't able to contain his moans of pleasure as they, one after another, escaped his mouth, becoming a beautiful piece of music in Rei's ears.
"Up you go." The husky ordered, rolling up Kazuma's shirt and the boy complied, lifting his arms to let the garment slide over his head. "That's one down, one more to go. Should I, uhm, help you with that? You can do it yourself if you want." Rei offered, glancing at the boy's jeans as he knew underneath them was a private part, at which people usually avoided being touched.
"That's okay, go on. I know we must eventually come to this point." Kazuma noted, albeit very shyly, and that kind of cuteness only helped turn Rei on. Slowly and carefully as he could, the husky unzipped the trousers, before putting his hands on Kazuma's waist and pulled them down.
Finally!!! Rei thought as he struggled to swallow a triumphant smile. Just the sight of his naked lover alone was worth all the efforts Rei'd ever made.
As far as skinny went, Kazuma was actually lean and toned. Despite his perfect fair complexion and slender frame, the young male appeared submissively charming rather than plain feminine. Finally, as Rei's eyes lowered, they were eventually greeted by the sight of Kazuma's boxers and particularly, the obvious bulge in the middle of his crotch - the undeniable proof showing that the boy was enjoying himself as much as Rei was.
"You're gorgeous." Rei couldn't help complimenting, earning himself a sheepish, flattered reply, "Thanks. Video games and jogging are the tricks."
"Who cares!" Rei growled in a predatory hunger, impatient to claim his prey. Reaching out his hand, the husky began to play with Kazuma's exposed chest, stroking the bare flesh lovingly. Taking advantage of the occupied human, Rei trailed his other hand down and rubbed Kazuma's thighs, and he was rewarded by another thrilled gasp from the boy.
"May I?" Rei offered suggestively, hands on both sides of his lover's boxers. Kazuma nodded absent-mindedly as he readied himself for the inevitable. Having gained approval, the husky quickly finished what he'd started and soon, Kazuma's clothes on the floor were joined with his boxers. At last, the object of Rei's desire was unveiled.
Six inches wasn't much of an impressive length, but that mediocrity was compensated by the human's balancing thickness, plus the fact that he was uncut. Unable to restrain himself, the husky lowered his head and took the whole length in his muzzle.
Minus the gag reflex, everything was pretty much awesome. The minute Rei had the needy erection swallowed whole, his mouth and nostril were greeted by a tangy, salty taste and a musky scent respectively. The alien flavors weren't that much enjoyable at first, but Rei kept in mind that they belonged to his lover. Moreover, the longer he was exposed to them, the more Rei found them intriguing, to an almost insane level.
Kazuma's breath was caught in his throat at the pleasure of his manhood being enclosed in a moist, warm confine of bliss, which was intensified by the virgin's sensitiveness when receiving his first blowjob ever. The boy missed another breath when feeling Rei's sand-papery tongue over his tip, working to peel the foreskin off.
Up and down Rei went, bobbing his head repeatedly on his lover's delicious meat pole, hungrily swallowing every drop of pre milked from the freshly unpeeled cockhead, which only drove him mad and eager to taste the boy's real cum. Kazuma trembled and squirmed as he was completely under Rei's mercy, feeling the husky's probing tongue rubbing and coiling itself again his hard flesh, providing him with the highest level of pleasure he'd ever experienced. All he could do to respond Rei's excellent service was moaning, which was enough of a payment for the husky.
Sadly, first-timers never could last long, and already Kazuma could tell his peak was near as he felt a built-up pressure transferring from his sacs to the base of his cock and all the way up, causing it to pulse madly in Rei's mouth. Noting that too, the husky only picked up his pace whilst adding an extra stimulation by moving his hand down to rub Kazuma's scrotum, earning a yelp from the boy.
"Rei, I'm...almost there...Aghh!" Kazuma panted heavily, seconds away from his climax.
"That's it baby. Relieve yourself. Let it all out in my mouth." Rei managed to reply with a mouthful of cock, sucking his lover's shaft with great gusto.
And so it happened. As Kazuma acquired his stimulated orgasm, his hips buckled while his cock spasmed and unleashed a torrent of heated cream into his furry lover's mouth. Rei quickly pulled his muzzle back to let the treat land on his tongue and soon, his mouth was completely full of Kazuma's essence. The husky squished the salty-sweet cum in his maw and savored its exquisite taste, before swallowing reluctantly, wishing for more.
"Thanks for the meal. That was delicious." Rei licked his muzzle, collecting the strayed cum. Looking at his panting lover, the husky smiled satisfyingly. Kazuma might have had his fill, but the party was far from over. In fact, the main course was about to be served, and Rei knew he would enjoy it, every second of it.
Breathless and dazed in his afterglow, Kazuma failed to noticed soft thuds - the sound of clothes hitting floor, until the boy saw a massive shadow loomed over him. Kazuma's jaw dropped as the boy realized he was looking at his lover's naked form, which was...mesmerizing. Indeed, mesmerizing might be the only sufficient word. Sure, Rei wasn't the type of oversized body builders people usually saw on posters, but the husky at least had just enough amount of flesh, which gave him the good look of a well-toned athlete rather than some kind of muscle-bound idiot. His lush fur had a rich grey and silver color, which matched his eyes greatly. In addition, Rei's arms were covered in scars - traces from whatever the husky had gotten himself into the night he and Kazuma first met. Normally, scars tended to ruin people's appearance, but right now, Kazuma didn't feel that way. In fact, he considered them proof of the truth that even the finest person wasn't without flaws, but those faults were something which set people apart from each other, so there was really nothing to be ashamed of.
And then, there was his cock.
Kazuma thought he was prepared, but apparently, Rei packed more than he'd anticipated. It wasn't helping that Kazuma had never seen a non-human male genitals, and for the first few seconds, the boy just looked at his lover's package, trying to register the details. Compared to the boy's cock, Rei's was superior in terms of both length and thickness. The blood-red, swollen canine shaft had no skin, plenty of veins and a pointy, spade-shaped tip. Last but not least, as if the cock wasn't intimidating enough, its base was a hardened ball of flesh, big enough to make anyone scream in pain should it got forced into them.
The young human's reaction didn't escape Rei's eyes. Smirking, he asked mirthfully, "Like what you see?"
"I...jezz, I don't know what to say." Kazuma admitted, "But I'm sure you've got something going on in your head, haven't you?"
"Can you guess what it is?"
"No."
Smiling, Rei lowered himself until his nose touched Kazuma's, his eyes glazing into the boy's, "I want us to finally become one. I want to go inside you and make you mine. Is that okay with you?"
Kazuma shivered. He'd never heard a sexier line. Sure, the anxiety was there, but it was overwhelmed by a powerful sense of lust and anticipation. Just like Rei'd said, he truly wanted them to become one. Besides, Kazuma knew he wasn't one to chicken out at such a time because after all, Rei had given him the options, and he'd chosen this. Kazuma didn't regret his choice...even until now, considering what he was about to go through. Still, Rei's mating tool did scare him, just a little bit.
"Does it...hurt?" the boy asked gingerly.
"I'm not gonna lie to you. Yes, it hurts, but only for a short moment. Once the pain is over, I guarantee you it'll be the best thing you've ever experienced in your life, even better than what I just did." Rei promised, giving his lover a reassuring kiss on the forehead.
Kazuma glanced at the husky's cock and gulped nervously, but he nodded approvingly. Satisfied with the answer, Rei set off to prepare for his claim. Sliding down slowly, the husky dragged his hand over Kazuma's smaller body, pausing shortly to caress the inside of the boy's thighs, making him shiver. The young human gave another shiver when Rei found his real target as his hand moved along Kazuma's crack, then caught the boy by surprise and began to stroke his ring of flesh lovingly.
Unfortunately, Rei didn't bring any form of lube, and there was no way he could progress with the consummation without that important element. Besides, with his big fingers and sharp claws, loosening Kazuma without hurting the boy would be impossible if he used his hand. It was at times like this that Rei wished he'd had a human's delicate features.
Soft and slick. I need something soft and slick...Hmm, guess I have to other choice, Rei thought. Kazuma nearly jumped when he felt warm breath against his scrotum and shortly later, a wet, slippery tongue pressing against his rump. Moans began to fill the air as Kazuma could only squirm helplessly, feeling the husky licking away at his hole, the tongue's sandpapery texture teasing his inner walls. Rei rimmed his lover eagerly, snaking his tongue into the human's depths, smearing every nook and cranny he found with drool.
Soon, the boy's hole had become sufficiently prepared to be claimed, and Rei himself just couldn't hold it any longer. Kazuma's scent, his taste, his submissive manners, his sounds of delight or simply the prospect of mating with him - all made the lust within Rei unbearable. His own erection was dripping precum and twitching excitedly. His body was quivering from time to time, moments away from losing control.
A soft, warm hand against his cheek snapped Rei out of his trance. He looked down, only to see Kazuma, smiling kindly at him. Rei was amazed by how the boy managed to pull out that expression. That wasn't the face of someone who was about to lose his virginity, knowing that he could be severely hurt in the process. Kazuma was supposed to be the one who needed encouraging but he, ironically, was doing that to Rei.
"I love you." Rei couldn't help himself, "Ready for the ride of your life?"
Despite his flushing face, Kazuma managed to smirk, "Ready to change my mind if you keep me waiting any longer."
"Alright. Here we go." the husky announced, guiding his length to Kazuma's slickened entrance. Slowly he rocked his hips, pushing small bits of his meat rod into the boy. Still, the progress wasn't easy at all. At least the tip was moderately small, but the canine shaft only got thicker and thicker down to the hardened base, causing the human to wince as it felt like a fist was being stuffed into him, stretching his rear in a forceful and painful way. To Rei, however, it was a completely different story. Despite his provided rim job, the husky still had a hard time penetrating his lover. Kazuma remained incredibly tight, and every time Rei pushed in, he could feel the boy's anal muscles spasming around his cock, trying to expel the massive intruder, but only ended up adding more to the pleasure Rei was receiving, as well as his determination to claim what belonged to him, which was Kazuma, and his virginity.
With each of his successive thrust, Rei caused more and more of his member to impale his lover, and after what seemed like eternity, the husky's pulsing erection was finally sheathed in Kazuma's warm rectum. The boy gasped in disbelief at the newfound feeling of fullness, until a furry hand squeezed his gently. Looking up, Kazuma was greeted by his lover's tender smile, "That wasn't so bad, was it?"
Kazuma nodded. Then, as Rei gave him time to adjust, the boy realized his lover hadn't lied to him at all. Sure, the initial entry was excruciating, but as things went on, Kazuma could feel a glimmer of pleasure each time Rei sunk deeper into him, which only grew stronger as the pain became less intense. Now, the pain and discomfort had completely vanished, replaced by a dazed, satisfying fullness and warmth which spread evenly through his accommodated anus.
Rei chuckled as he noticed his lover's changed expression, and the husky knew they were both ready to go. Without any warning, the husky slowly withdrew his cock halfway, only to bury himself deep in his lover with one single thrust, reveling in the feeling of his cock sliding through the tight pucker. Kazuma gave a surprised yowl which immediately turned into inviting whimpers, his insides flaring from the constant stimulations of a certain canine cock.
"Ah yeah...You're a tight one!" Rei crooned, driving his length repeatedly into his moaning lover. More than sexual pleasure, the husky knew and relished in the fact that he was doing it with the one who he truly love; and, the europhic satisfaction of mounting a freshly deflowered boy. The vice-like sphincter gripped his shaft mercilessly, almost like a silk-covered iron fist massing and milking his cock eagerly. Kazuma's passage must be burning as it snugged perfectly around the husky's shaft, adding to the incredible sensation Rei was getting from pumping the boy.
Kazuma's body shook violently; his breath was drained every time the shaft lodged deep within him got dragged out, teasing his sensitive inner flesh, only to be plunged in again within seconds, stretching and leaving traits of precum in his most delicate and intimate parts. Eventually, Rei found the boy's inner button, and wasted no time teasing it as he pressed the pointy tip of his breeding organ against Kazuma's prostate with sufficient force to stimulate the boy without injuring him, and it worked. Soon, a combination of moans, grunts and lewd, sloppy sounds of flesh slamming against flesh filled the room, intensified by the heavy scent of sweat and sex in the air.
Rei's thrusting became faster, and Kazuma was also moving his body to help the husky go deeper into him. Now, there was no gentle love-making but only a canine who had surrendered to his primal urges and desire, as well as a human who had grown addicted to being fucked senselessly. The husky's hips became a blur, his furry sacks slapping relentlessly against Kazuma's buttcheeks; his cock jackhammering rapidly into the boy's depths, bring them both to a new plane of pleasure after every thrust. Kazuma's moans and wails became ragged as his prostate was grinded and battered with firm strokes by his lover's brute of a cock. Rei growled in his throat as the muscles around his shaft tightened, milking it for all it was worth.
Dizzy as he was, Kazuma still noticed, through his lusty trance, the bulb of flesh from the base of Rei's cock grinding against his already abused hole, demanding entry. Whatever that part was, Kazuma had a hunch that this wondrous night would be incomplete without it entering his body and so, for the very first time since the beginning of the breeding session, he actually caught the husky off guard. Throwing his arms over a panting Rei, Kazuma pulled the husky's head down next to his and whispered, lewdly, seductively, submissively, "I want all...all of you, inside me."
Who was Rei to turn down such an invitation? Like a wild beast let loose, he pounded away at the moaning young human with everything he'd got, trading the long and firm thrusts for short and, harder and faster ones, his knot grounding Kazuma's rear rapidly, struggling to enter the deliciously tight sanctuary, fueled by his intensely burning lust and the boy's weak but satisfied mewls. Kazuma gritted his teeth to prevent himself from crying from the pain searing his behind and the savage ball of flesh stretching his entrance beyond limits. Still, the pain kept getting greater, and Kazuma's vision was so blurry that he was afraid he might black out.
Just when Kazuma thought he couldn't bear with it anymore, something noticeable happened. He could feel the pressure starting to slip and the pain easing up significantly. Looking down between his legs, Kazuma widened his eyes in great shock as he realized the knot was gradually slipping in, and with one last, mighty push from Rei, the bulb of flesh finally went inside. Throwing his head back, the boy gasped in astonishing pleasure as he was stretched to an unbelievable level; the hardened knot stirring up his insides, combined with the spade-shaped tip poking his sweet spot - all of which were more than enough to send Kazuma over the edge. The human's cock twitched madly and spurted cum all over the place, staining his belly as well as Rei's.
The husky wasn't far behind. As Kazuma's orgasm hit, his anal muscles were also affected, wrapping around Rei's erection and squeezing with newfound pressure. Unable to contain himself any longer, the husky lowered his head and bit Kazuma's shoulder, drawing blood while his cock throbbed and pulsed, unleashing rope after rope of warm, fertile seed into the boy's bowels, marking Rei's territory for good. The moaning soon began again, out of sheer ecstasy and satisfaction, as Rei continued to pump his life-giving essence into his lover, filling Kazuma to the brim with the content of the husky's furry balls.
"You like it?" Rei inquired, half-dazed.
"I...hah, it was...amazing." Kazuma panted, pulling his lover down for a deep kiss. They parted shortly later, and the boy asked, "What's that thick part at the end of your dick?"
"My knot...Uhm, it's a canine thing, to keep our mates from getting away and make sure our seed is secured in the right place. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but we'll be stuck like this for a while." Rei replied.
"I don't mind." Kazuma smiled, "In fact, I want you to keep it in all night."
"Yeah." The husky nodded, wrapping his arms around his lover...no, his mate - his one and only mate. As he watched Kazuma slowly giving in to his slumber, Rei made a resolve to protect the boy, no matter what it took, no matter who he would have to face. Tomorrow wouldn't be easy. There would be obstacles, risks and danger, but their future truly existed. Quietly, Rei hummed a song - the lullaby to eae Kazuma's peaceful sleep, from this moment on, everyday would he sing...
Tomorrow, I'll be able to smile even more than today
Your very existence makes me feel that way
Let's spend decades, centuries, millennia together
I love you...
(Kiseki - Greeeen)
