A slightly AU-ish fic that begins before the Lylat Wars, whilst Fox McCloud is still in training at the Cornerian Military Academy, his father James still alive, and the original Starfox team still operating. Panther Caroso is only a year or two into his criminal career, and trying to make a name for himself with a big job he's taken on... while also dealing with conflicted feelings over his own sexuality.

Fox and Panther have a chance meeting at a bar, and something begins between them.

The taste of the cheap beer made Fox wince slightly, and he set his glass back down on the bar... the alcohol wasn't exactly the reason he came to this_particular establishment though, so he couldn't exactly get all that irritated about it. He swept his gaze over the other patrons of the bar, inwardly groaning as he spotted two intoxicated guys in the corner booth making out with each other. Sure, it _was a gay bar, but they really didn't have to be so obvious about it... he sighed, tail flicking. It didn't seem like he'd find any action tonight...

The thought of heading back to the Academy to sleep alone wasn't all that appealing... they'd just finished a difficult test, that also happened to be a big pain in the ass, and they were finally gonna start training in the flight simulators in two days... he had some stress that could badly use some burning. Sure, kicking back and hanging out with Slippy or Falco was all fine and dandy, but some stress just needed something far more than some buddy time to relieve, and Fox was fond of coming here to get what he needed. Of course, he hadn't told his friends exactly where he went to get laid... hell, even Slippy didn't know that he was gay, and Fox had been friends with him since they were small kids.

The bar was called Nebulow, and it was in a slightly rougher part of Corneria City, which was fine with Fox... he wanted a dominant man, someone who knew what he wanted, and was bold enough to go for it. Not that Fox was_passive_ in bed, but as a bottom, the vulpine wanted someone who was at the very least, a masculine, confident bedmate. And tonight didn't seem like his lucky night. He sighed once more, downing the rest of his drink, and waved the bartender over for a refill. He'd stick around for one more drink, and if nobody worthwhile showed up, he'd count tonight as a loss, and go back to the Academy.

As the bartender came over and took his glass, Fox gave the bar another visual sweep... and he watched as the bar entrance opened, and a new patron stepped in. Fox's ears flicked, and he felt his interest get it's hopes up... so far, it liked what it saw. The guy was a panther... black furred, wearing a white and blue jacket, and dark pants. He had a handsome face, with a curved stripe of white fur that went from the edge of his right cheek, to the corner of his right eye, and a nice physique, tall and muscular. Fox watched him approach the bar, glancing around curiously, and the feline grimaced slightly as he caught sight of the drunken guys making out, his stride faltering for a moment, as though he regretted coming here.

Fox could tell by his body language that he was uncomfortable... he had a slight hesitance to his movements, and his tail was slightly stiff. The vulpine wondered if this was his first time in a gay bar, or if he didn't know it was a gay bar until he'd spotted the drunken couple. Of course, if he was that bothered by it, he'd have left... which made Fox think it was more the first theory than the second. Either way, this cat was the most interesting (and attractive, if Fox was being honest) guy to walk in for the whole hour that Fox had been here, and the vulpine would be damned if he didn't make an attempt to get into his pants. The bartender stepped up to the vulpine with another glass of cheap booze, and Fox tapped his wrist before he could step away. The bartender tilted his head.

"What else do you need, honey?" Fox inwardly groaned at the 'honey', but he gestured towards the newcomer feline.

"Whatever he orders for his first drink, put it on my tab, okay?" he instructed, watching as the panther sat down at the bar, still glancing around with an wary expression. The bartender glanced back at the feline, and then back at Fox, with a wink and a chuckle.

"You got it, baby... hope you get lucky!" he headed over to the big cat, and asked what he'd like to drink. Fox didn't catch the panther's answer, but he felt anticipation rise as he watched the bartender start to pour a glass... it looked like the cat had ordered some kind of wine cocktail. The bartender put two blackberries and a thin slice of lime in it, and brought it to the cat... Fox inwardly grinned as he watched the panther raise an eyebrow, as the bartender told him that his drink had been paid for already. The bartender pointed the big feline towards Fox, and he turned his head, his golden eyes turning their gaze onto the vulpine. Fox gave him a grin, and raised his glass slightly as if to say 'Hi there' and the dark furred panther smiled back at him, giving him a grateful nod, before taking a sip of the cocktail.

Fox felt his anticipation rise higher as the cat got up from his spot, and started to walk towards him... it seemed that the big feline had managed to push aside his nervousness. "So... I'm not even in here for five minutes, and I've already got someone paying for my drink." The cat had a slightly deep, but dulcet, smooth voice... Fox quite liked it. "I'm glad the bartender pointed out the attractive fox sitting at the end of the bar, and not somebody like those boys in the booth back there..." Fox grinned at the compliment as the feline took a seat on the stool next to him.

"I've been here for an hour, and you're the only guy whose drink seemed worth paying for, so I'm glad about that, heh..." Fox chuckled. "...having you call me attractive is just a bonus." he smiled, getting to see the panther's drink up close. "Gotta say, it's quite the fancy drink to order in a dive like this place... what's it called?"

"This is a black rose cocktail... rose wine, vodka, lime juice, with some blackberries, served over ice. It's a favorite of mine." he kept his eyes on Fox's as he took a sip, before he eyed up the vulpine's glass of cheap beer with a quirked brow. "I'm guessing that it tastes quite a bit better than whatever you're forcing yourself to drink..." Fox lifted his glass, giving the feline a humored smile.

"Hey, I'll have you know that this happens to be 'La Biere Pas Cher', and it's a staple of dive bars everywhere!" Fox joked, feeling rather pleased as he saw the panther's lips tilt up in a humored smile of his own, as the feline chuckled in response.

"Well... as much as you're clearly enjoying 'the cheap beer'... perhaps you'd like to take a sip of this? You did pay for it after all..." the panther brought his other hand up, to pluck one of the blackberries out of the glass, slowly bringing it to his mouth and taking it in, chewing it unhurriedly and oddly sensually, as he slid the cocktail glass over to the vulpine, keeping his hand on the stem of the glass, his eyes gauging Fox's reaction to the proposal.

Fox's ears flicked, and he contemplated for a moment, his interest and anticipation getting stronger, before he smiled slyly, setting his glass of cheap beer down, and keeping his eyes on the panther's, as he reached out to accept the glass, letting his fingers slide over the feline's, and he rubbed them slightly, watching the panther's expression turn to one of analysis to pleased approval, before Fox moved his hand to the portion of the glass that wasn't in the panther's grip. "Don't mind if I do..." he lifted the glass, making sure to keep eye contact as he too a sip. It was an interesting flavor... lightly bitter, with a touch of floral sweetness, and a little tang of citrus. Fox rather liked it. "...you've got good taste. I might have to start ordering this, heh heh..." he slid the glass back, keeping his fingers lightly around the stem.

The panther chuckled, reaching over to take it back, allowing his fingers to brush Fox's the same way Fox had done to him, sending slight tingles through the vulpine's hand. "You might change your mind when you see the price on your bill..." the cat teased wryly, giving Fox a sly smile. "It's a bit of an indulgent, overpriced drink... it's why I rarely go to bars for it." Fox's smile widened as the cat took another sip of the cocktail. Handsome, a sense of humor, a flirt... this panther was hitting the right combos for him.

"Well, that just means that you're not a cheap date, heh... which is more than I can say about the other schmoes in this place." Fox chuckled. The panther quirked a brow, a slight smirk on his face.

"Oh, you're moving a little fast, hmm? Calling it a date, when I don't even know your name yet..." he sipped the cocktail again, while Fox smiled, amused.

"I'm Fox." he introduced himself, inwardly wincing at how silly he found his own name to be... he often wondered if his parents had been having a slow day when they named him. The panther blinked at the name, before he laughed lightly.

"And here I thought that_my_ parents were unique in giving me an overly obvious name..." he chuckled. "I'm Panther... it's nice to meet you, Fox." Fox raised his eyebrows at Panther's name, before chuckling as well.

"Ha... maybe they bought the same baby naming book?" he quipped, tail swishing. He could see that Panther looked much less apprehensive now, than he had when he'd walked in. "So, Panther... is this your first time here? I've never seen you around... I'd have remembered if I had, heh..."

Panther's lips quirked up in a slight smile. "Yes... it's my first time here." he sipped his drink again. "...My first time in a place like... this, actually." he glanced slightly towards the two men making out, and Fox could see the cat's jaw clench slightly in uneasiness again, before he shook his head slightly, taking another sip as he turned back to Fox. The vulpine felt a satisfaction as his suspicion was confirmed... this was Panther's first trip to a gay bar. Fox smiled at him.

"I don't blame you for looking a little nervous then... I was a little wary my first time to this place too." his tail flicked again. "Of course, there_usually_ aren't guys so drunk that they start full on making out in the bar... you get a few flamboyant ones in here during the nights that the dance floor is open, but otherwise it's like any normal bar, just with different clientele." he toyed with his glass as he watched Panther subtly grimace at the 'different clientele' part. Fox wondered if Panther was a guy who'd just recently realized he was gay, and was new to the whole thing, or if he was just a closeted guy testing the waters. Panther sipped his drink again, before he tilted his head a little.

"How long have you been coming here, Fox?" he asked, his tone curious.

"I've been stopping by here for about half a year now... only when I need to burn off tension, maybe twice a month or so." the vulpine answered.

"I see... I'd imagine it doesn't take long for someone as attractive as you to gain the attention of the patrons..." Panther said smoothly, his velvety voice adding a sexy charm to the compliment, and Fox chuckled, feeling rather flattered, which was something other men he'd met here could rarely accomplish.

"I'm sure you'll find quite a few of them giving you second looks too... you've got the whole 'dashingly handsome' thing going on." Fox teased, grinning as Panther chuckled, the feline clearly pleased at his response. Fox's tail flicked again. "Hmm... I mentioned I come here to burn off tension... are you here for the same thing, Panther?" he asked, his voice friendly and casual, even as he watched Panther closely to gauge his reaction. The big feline had flirted with him, shared his drink, and even accepted the light physical flirting too... but he was a newcomer to the whole gay bar thing, and might not be here for sex right away.

Fox could see Panther subtly tense at the question, that nervousness making an appearance through the suaveness again, and the muscular cat took another drink of his cocktail... a little liquid courage to steady his nerves perhaps? He watched as Panther swallowed slowly, his piercing golden eyes remaining on Fox's green ones... before the feline apparently steeled himself, and answered. "I have to admit... I did_come here, hoping to... possibly... _indulge." Panther's tail flicked. "Of course, I also have to admit, I didn't really think I'd find someone that I'd want to 'indulge in' tonight... you're quite the welcome surprise." the first part had sounded cautious... but the second part was far more confident.

A pleased smile graced Fox's muzzle, and the vulpine leaned forward towards Panther. "So... do you, perhaps... have someplace you'd like to go with me, Panther?" he asked quietly, a sly undertone to his voice as he slid his hand over to Panther's glass, and slowly ran his fingertips along the back of the feline's hand, loving the look that arose in Panther's eyes at the sensation. Panther leaned slightly forward as well, a charming smile of his own coming over his face.

"Would you have any objections to accompanying me to my hotel room? It's not that far from here... and I'd quite like to go there with you." Panther replied in a low purr, and Fox was certain of two things, one, that he was definitely glad he'd stayed for one last drink instead of just leaving, and two, that Panther was managing to turn him on with just his tone of voice. The vulpine grinned, as he moved his fingers from Panther's hand, and gripped the cocktail glass, lifting it up out of Panther's grip, and drinking the last of it, before setting it back down.

"No objections here... just lead the way." he chuckled, dropping a tip for the bartender onto the table as he got up from his seat. Panther's smile widened, and he rose as well, before the two of them headed for the entrance, stepping out of the bar and onto the streets of downtown Corneria City. Fox was feeling eager and warm as he followed alongside Panther, trying to picture what the feline's body would look like once those clothes were removed. Panther glanced down at him, giving him a suave smile, and Fox could see the eagerness in Panther's eyes too... it only served to heighten his desire.

Panther's hotel was only three blocks away, and Fox wondered if the muscular feline had picked it on purpose for it's proximity to the gay bar, or if he wasn't native to Corneria, and was just here on vacation. The two of them stepped into the elevator, and Panther pressed the button for a high floor. The elevator door was mirrored, and Fox smiled at Panther in the reflection, winking at the feline. Panther chuckled, giving Fox a wink in return... before he slowly slid his arm around Fox's shoulders. Fox could feel Panther's muscles through the sleeves of the jacket, and he gave the big cat a seductive smile in the reflection, when suddenly the elevator chimed, and the doors opened as they arrived at Panther's floor. The big cat led the way to his room, and opened it up, grinning at Fox. "Welcome to my room..."

Fox stepped in with Panther, getting a quick look at the rather nondescript hotel room, the only personal effects that Panther seemed to have with him was a large black duffel bag sitting on the floor near the desk, nothing out of the ordinary. The vulpine turned his attention back to Panther, who had just finished locking the door, and he smiled as the big cat turned to face him. "Seems like you don't pack heavy, heh..." he commented, and Panther chuckled, as though Fox had told a joke, before he stepped up to the vulpine, slowly putting his arms around Fox's waist, and he pulled him in close. Fox brought his hands up to Panther's broad chest, able to feel the feline's musculature through the jacket, before he used the fingers of one hand to toy with the zipper of it, slightly pulling it down and pushing it back up. "Mind if I get myself out of my clothes, before I watch you take off yours?" he asked the taller feline, in a playfully lustful tone.

Panther smiled, with a delightfully devilish charm. "I certainly don't mind... by all means, take your time, and I'll take mine..." he purred, sliding one hand down from Fox's waist, to get a brief feel of the vulpine's rump, before releasing him and stepping back, crossing his arms, that devilish grin on his face, and a spark in his golden eyes, as he waited for Fox to start undressing. The tone of the feline's voice, and the feel of Panther's strong hand on his backside had sent a heated thrill through Fox, and he couldn't help but wag his tail a little. He smirked seductively as Panther stepped back and watched, and the vulpine slowly moved one hand to the shoulder of his own jacket, slipping it down, before doing the same to the other side. He then moved his arms back to let the jacket slide off of his body, nudging it aside with his feet, before he kicked his boots off too.

It left him in his tight pants and snug t-shirt, one that showed off his lithe, lean musculature, and he saw Panther's sexy grin widen slightly... the cat was enjoying what he saw. Fox snickered, pleased, and he reached his arms down to the bottom of the figure hugging t-shirt, gripping the end of it, and slowly peeling it off over his head, his slim, fit torso revealed to Panther. The big feline let out an approving hum.

"Someone works out... such an excellent figure." Panther purred, his tail lazily flicking, his golden eyes taking in the details. Fox gave him a satisfied smirk, that flattered feeling rising inside him again, and he reached his hands down to his belt, undoing it, and taking the time to slowly unbutton, and then unzip his pants. He kept his head turned to watch Panther, as he spun around, turning his back to the cat, before he bent over, sliding down his pants as he went, giving Panther an eyeful of his rear end. He wagged his tail again, as he stepped out of his pants. He wore only a set of tight briefs now. He stood up straight, placing a hand on his hip, and he looked back at Panther over his shoulder, giving a wink and a seductive grin, slowly swaying his hips to draw attention to his butt.

"Like what you see, handsome?" he asked teasingly, tail wagging. Panther chuckled.

"I do... so trim, nice lean musculature, combined with a shapely rump... what's not to like?" he answered playfully. Fox chuckled at that, before reaching back with both hands, slipping his thumbs under the waistband of the briefs, before slowly bending over once again as he slid them down too, feeling that lustful heat glow hotter as Panther let out a deep, sexy, purr of pleasure at the sight of his bare bottom. He stood up straight again, stepping out of the briefs around his ankles, before he turned and sat on the end of Panther's bed, crossing one leg in the same motion, to hide his cock from Panther, teasingly grinning at the big feline.

"Now then... I do believe it's your turn now, heh heh..." Fox settled back, keeping his sea green eyes on the musclebound cat. Panther chuckled, amused, but also aroused... he stepped forward, keeping his golden eyes on Fox, as he reached up to slowly unzip the blue and white jacket.

"A deal's a deal..." he purred, as he removed the jacket, tossing it over the desk chair, leaving him in a tight t-shirt of his own. Fox licked his lips as Panther slowly removed the t-shirt, revealing just how nicely muscled he was. Washboard abs, powerful pecs, and his arms were the perfect_amount of pumped... Panther chuckled as he undid his belt, before undoing his pants... he let them fall to the floor, revealing that the big cat wore a set of boxer briefs. Very _tented boxer briefs. His thighs and calves were just as well developed as his other muscles, and Fox's tail flicked with anticipation of Panther dropping those briefs. "Enjoying the view?" Panther asked, his deep, velvety voice tinged with mischief, as he winked slyly at Fox.

Fox let out a laugh, giving Panther a grin. "Quite... but you're not finished, heh heh..." he replied teasingly, though his voice was eager... Panther grinned back, and stepped forward, till he stood in right front of the sitting vulpine. He reached down, gripping the waistband of his boxer briefs, before sliding them down, his arousal springing free from the confines, and Fox let out a shivery breath of satisfaction at the reveal. Panther's scent was warm, a touch of masculine musk, not overpowering, and it only served to make Fox's own arousal throb. Lengthy and thick was Panther's shaft, and his balls were generously sized as well... he reached out, sliding his hands up Panther's thighs, so warm and strong feeling, as he glanced up from the thick cock that was presented to him, to look up at Panther's expression. The big feline had a pleased, confident smile on his face.

"Think it'll burn that tension of yours, Fox?" he purred out, his voice _dripping_with sexual allure, and Fox let out a hot huff of breath at that, grinning back up at Panther, as he rested his hands on the big cat's hips.

"One way to find out..." he breathed hotly over Panther's arousal, before he opened his mouth and got his first taste of the muscular feline. Panther closed his eyes, placing his hands on his hips and let out a low sigh of pleasure at the heat of Fox's mouth, the slick feeling of his inner cheeks and that hot tongue... he opened his eyes after a savoring moment, and watched the attractive vulpine work, head bobbing up and down on Panther, the feline's ears picking up the soft sucking sounds. Fox lapped along the thick girth in his muzzle, Panther's flavor a pleasure to his senses, and he moaned heatedly around the big cat, hearing a purr in response above him. He pulled back slowly, applying suction, before letting that thick penis slip from his muzzle with an audible 'pop', and he licked his lips, gazing up at Panther with burning lust in his eyes. The big cat snatched Fox up in his strong arms, practically tossing him into the middle of the bed, before pouncing in after the eager vulpine...


Fox wasn't a fan of doggystyle, instead preferring to lay on his back when he was taken by other men... but Panther was quickly changing his opinion on the position, and Fox panted hard, giving a rough gasp and arching his back sharply, gripping the covers tightly as Panther's cock brushed harshly over his sweet spot when the powerful cat added a_slamming_ thrust into his already strong rhythm. Fox's cock throbbed hard, a thick strand of precum dripping from the tip. "Ahhn! Ah!" he cried out raggedly, gritting his teeth and squeezing his eyes shut in bliss as Panther's groin hammered against his ass, feeling the big feline's heavy balls slapping against him with every deep thrust. The sounds of Panther's hips meeting his backside echoed slightly through the hotel room, and Fox was being rocked forward with each slamming of Panther's cock up his ass, only to have the feline use the strong grip he had on his hips, to pull him easily back against the next deep ramming.

Panther was panting slightly, but for the most part he was breathing deep and slow, his tail taut and stiff with focus as he watched his thick cock being stuffed into Fox's tight pink hole, over and over, the vulpine's vixen-like behind shaking with each fully enveloping thrust. Fox was so incredibly silky and snug around his shaft, so hot_inside... every gasp and rough cry from the vulpine was sending a primal thrill through the big feline, and Panther grit his teeth slightly as he felt his edge approaching. His ears flicked and his eyes widened slightly as Fox let out an utterly _delicious cry, his voice shaking with bliss. Coinciding with this, Fox's tunnel was suddenly squeezing and clenching around him, as the vulpine writhed and thrashed in the feline's strong grip, and Panther_barely_ stifled an undignified gasp, gritting his teeth so it came out as a roughly growled "Grrnngh!!" his climax smashing right through him.

Fox gasped roughly, a helpless whine escaping his lips as Panther's thrusts suddenly went from hard, fast, and deep, to erratic, powerful, and frenzied. He couldn't support his upper body any longer, dropping his head and shoulders down to the covers as he keened loudly, feeling the power of those slamming thrusts rocking his whole frame, a thick heat flooding him deep in his rear end, and his own cock fired off one last spurt of his orgasm at the realization that this was the sensation of Panther's cum being blasted into him, hot ropes of thick white cream coating his inner walls. He whined out in breathless pleasure one last time, grinding his cheek into the covers as Panther worked his climax into him. He felt the big cat's hands move from his hips to his shoulders, keeping him pinned as Panther leaned over him, Fox feeling the feline's hot breaths against his ears as Panther continued to firmly work his thick shaft in and out of him, making sure every last shot was deposited, before his rolling thrusts finally slowed down and stopped, ending with a last firm grind against Fox's ass.

Fox was pretty much limp, so spent was he, and he panted hard for breath, head down and butt up, still impaled on Panther's cock. Panther's arms shook slightly with exertion as the big cat also panted, savoring the feeling of Fox around him, before slowly pulling out, shivering slightly at the difference of temperature as his cock was 'unsheathed' from Fox's rear. Now that he didn't have a thick shaft nestled up his backside, Fox could slowly let his knees slide back, letting him lay flat on the bed, and he shuddered as he suddenly was able to feel just how sore he was. "Nnnngh..." he groaned softly, feeling Panther lie down next to him, panting softly. "...that... was the best I've had... ever..." Fox managed, opening his eyes tiredly.

Panther closed his eyes, a slight grin forming as he focused on catching his breath. "I always aim to please, heh... mmm..." the two of them were quiet for a few moments, only the sounds of their breathing audible in the room. Fox slowly moved to get up, wincing slightly, but holding back another groan.

"That was great...really great... but I've gotta get back." he sighed as he stretched his legs slightly. He glanced back at Panther, who was laying on his back with his head resting on his arms in the quintessential 'relaxed' pose... which also really showed off his muscular body even better. Fox grinned in appreciation, before asking, "Do you mind if I use your shower really quick before I leave?" Panther grinned back, winking at Fox.

"Go ahead, I don't mind... you were great too." his tail flicked lazily as he watched Fox stand up and head into his bathroom, which was across from the bed.

"Much appreciated, heh..." Fox chuckled, before bending forward to turn the shower on, which gave Panther a delightful view of Fox's ass, and the sight of that pink hole with a thick dollop of white right in the center, a rivulet of cum slowly trailing from that tenderized hole, and down the back of Fox's balls, before the vulpine stood back up as the shower started, and he stepped inside. Panther watched the blurred outline of Fox washing up, sighing softly in contemplation...

He'd never thought he'd end up actually going through with it... having sex with a man. But he'd done it. He'd done it, and he'd liked it. Granted, Fox was a rather... pretty man, but he was a man nonetheless. Panther closed his eyes, sighing to himself wearily. So many women... he'd always had no problem getting women, and it amped up his pride with every effortless seduction. But... but there was always that... urge. That unnatural urge, fighting to be noticed in the back of his mind. Panther was ashamed of it... how could he even think of doing something like that? He'd thought that by going to a place like the... the gay bar... would put him off of those urges for good. He'd go in, he'd be instantly turned off, and even if another male did try to flirt with him, he'd feel how unnatural and uncomfortable it felt, and he'd never feel the urges again.

And while he'd immediately felt uncomfortable upon seeing the two males heavily making out right in one of the bar booths, and he'd felt a wariness when the bartender had pointed out someone had paid for his drink, after he'd gone over to Fox and started talking... flirting... it hadn't seemed unnatural at all. In fact, it almost came more_naturally to him than flirting with a girl. And not only had he_enjoyed flirting with Fox, but after the vulpine had asked if he was there to 'burn tension too', instead of being disgusted at the notion, he'd felt eagerness... and now here he was, lying in bed, after having just had incredibly satisfying sex... with a man. And the fact that he couldn't tell if he'd enjoyed it so much_because_ Fox was a male, or if it was just the thrill of doing something so sexually deviant and taboo, was deeply troubling.

He quickly buried those mixed up and unpleasant feelings as he heard the shower turn off. He could deal with his personal issues after his job in downtown Corneria City was done, but for now, he'd just... let it go, and savor this. He smiled at Fox as the wet vulpine stepped out of the shower, and got a chuckle and a wink in return as Fox grabbed a towel off the rack, and started drying off. The vulpine tossed the towel in the hamper when he was done, stepping out of the bathroom, and heading over to his discarded clothes, starting to redress. Panther watched him, feeling the smooth heat of arousal starting to warm him again as he admired Fox's body... he wondered if Fox was going slowly on purpose. The vulpine finally slipped his jacket back on, before turning to Panther with a pleased smile.

"It was nice meeting you, Panther..." Fox looked over Panther's own body, clearly checking him out one last time before he left. "...thanks for burning tension with me." he teased, his sea green eyes meeting Panther's golden ones, sending another warm feeling through the big cat.

"Likewise... you were great." Panther purred in response. Fox chuckled, before giving a little wave as he headed for the door... Panther watched, before calling out to Fox as he opened the door. "I'm gonna be in this part of town for a while... I might... stop by the bar again." Fox turned back to him, giving him a smile.

"Oh? Well... I might just have to get myself some more tension to burn then." he winked at Panther, before stepping out, closing the door. Panther watched Fox's shadow pass by the light shining at the bottom of the door, and he sighed. Why had he called that out to Fox? He hadn't planned on going back to that bar at all... why'd he say that? He hummed slightly as he got up from the bed, walking over to his black duffel bag, lifting it up and setting in on the desk as he opened it up, reaching in to take out the contents... components for a sniper rifle. He started leisurely putting it together, checking the scope to see if it zoomed properly, and making sure every part was cleaned. Satisfied with it, he set the completed rifle down on the desk, covering it with a spare sheet from the closet, before heading into the bathroom to take a shower of his own. He had a busy day tomorrow.
