Lucas finds comfort in the Meowstic Sydney after a rather interesting introduction. Knowing that he may be getting more than he anticipated with the unexpected offer to stay can Lucas truly say that he is safe for the time being?


It was a pretty good deal. I had a roof over my head, food, and clean water. I didn't have to want for much. Sydney and I, we became close in the time that we knew each other. Sex tends to complicate relationships by what Barkeep taught me. Yet at the same time, when two people are in the same shitty situation they tend to gravitate towards each other. Like it or not, we were in it for the long haul. And if we did things to comfort the other, what of it? Even so there were days I thought that was the only reason why we did have sex. Were we just using each other to keep the other company and sane or did we truly had serious feelings for each other? Perhaps if we had met in another time and gotten along maybe something would have come of it. I can't be sure. All that mattered is that we were safe where we were for the time being.

"Almost..."

While never considering himself gay, Lucas had always been a little curious about it. As with anything around in the slums there were male prostitutes as well. Human and Pokephilla variety, he had no interest in the Pokemon for obvious reasons, but some of the human ones made him have to take a double take. Some were obviously just men trying to pretty themselves up, while others you would have sworn were woman if they didn't tell you they weren't.

His thoughts were broken by the feeling of Sydney pressing his hips against his Luca's body. Not exactly ready to get up, Lucas laid in that position with the spooning Meowstic for an unknown length of time. It was the rumbling of both of their stomachs that encouraged the pair to finally get up.

"Morning, how did you sleep?" asked Sydney

"As well as I could after post-sex," said Lucas, he felt his cheeks blushing a little bit. Sydney picked up on this, simply smiled and slide off the bed "I'm going to wash up, if you want you could join me,"

He made a catty, come hither look with his eyes. Problem was it was less sexy and more ridiculous to Lucas who started laughing a little bit causing Sydney to pout.

"Look I know we ended up having fun last night, just don't push it okay? I still need to sort out how I feel about all of this," said Lucas

"Right, I just always wanted to say that at least once. You know how they do it in the movies or bad pornography," explained Sydney

"Isn't all pornography by definition bad? I mean most of the dialogue makes me cringe. I actually prefer it when they just show up and just fuck,"

"You would be surprised, there are some porn out there that actually have a pretty good plot with the sex mixed in," said Sydney

"How would you know that?"

Sydney shrugged and turned towards the bathroom door, "You think having sex with me is the only reason those guests I mentioned show up?" He didn't go into more detail and closed the door behind him.

It was a subtle reminder, but a reminder none the less. Lucas felt his stomach flip at what he had agreed to do. It was the price he had to pay to live in relative comfort. Sex with just Sydney was one thing, despite the short time they had known each other Lucas felt fond of him. If the price was just sex with him than it wouldn't be so bad. The thought of sex with multiple partners, the thought that they were going to be gay experiences as well filled him with a sort of dread. He turned towards the window, the soft light of the morning sun drifting in and warming the spot he sat. Would he really be able to do it through? He wasn't exactly sure and he wondered how Sydney was even able to agree to it, let alone continue doing it for over a week. Shaking his head, Lucas figured those were answers best left for later. He wasn't going to get anywhere musing on it.

Roughly twenty minutes later he heard Sydney emerging from the bathroom, his fur was matted against his body and Lucas had to turn away when he noticed that his new roommate was actually pretty curvy in some areas.

"Alright all done, the bathroom is all yours now. You'll have to wait a few minutes for the hot water to kick in, the boiler has always been ancient so I hope that is okay,"

"Wait you have hot water? How wouldn't the area that handles it be like up in flames or something? I lost water in my house after the third day,"

Sydney shrugged "I'm just as surprised as you are, I'm just guessing it's a perk of what I have to do. I mean I don't think I would be able to do this nearly as long if I couldn't wash all the gunk off me afterwards right? Some think it looks sexy being covered in cum, they usually don't see what the stuff does to fur when it dries,"

"Okay with that image in my mind I think I'm going to go clean myself up," Lucas jumped off the bed and approached the bathroom himself. As he passed Sydney patted his bottom.

"When you are cleaned up, I need to talk to you about what we are going to need to do around the house. It concerns what you will have to get used to,"

Lucas didn't answer, he only gulped and entered the bathroom to finally get a good hot bath in two weeks' time.

A hot bath did wonders, not only for the body but for the mind as well. When Lucas came out of the bathroom, he felt close to his old self. Before his transformation and the dystopian state of the world. He even found that he could whistle a little as difficult as it was with two buck teeth that he sported.

He didn't see Sydney in the bedroom at all, though the open closet showed that he probably had been there recently. Figuring it was time to face the music, Lucas made his way downstairs to the ground floor. Now that he was down there, he was grateful to see the house wasn't nearly as eerie in daylight that it was during the night. If anything it looked like a normal house aside that everything looked like it towered over him. Deciding to hold off on looking for Sydney, Lucas decided to explore around. The kitchen was a little dusty, a thin layer of dust covered most of everything within it. Climbing up to the counters was difficult, though not impossible. They weren't much higher than the ones in his own apartment so Lucas was able to make the jump after a few attempts. The cabinets were actually pretty bare, a few canned goods and open boxes of snack foods. It seemed that whatever food Sydney got went to the fridge which was understandable. If Sydney could only reach so far may as well put it in the spot where he could whether it needed to be in there or not.

From the kitchen Lucas entered the living room, which had the pungent smell of old musk. He hadn't passed through this room during his initial exploration and after what his host explained he could only guess this was one of the many rooms that the activities he had perform happen. Other than the Donphan in the room, the living room was quaint. The carpet was comfortable against his paws, an easy chair to the right of the kitchen entrance and a couch to the far left of the room. A simple T.V. anointed the wall to the north, a few toys lay forgotten in front of it. Walking into the room proper, Lucas found that it had a slight blue tinge to it, the source was the curtains that blocked the sunlight. Figuring there was a good reason for that, Lucas left the windows alone. Moving next to the toys, he found that there were a few splotches of the pink sludge there as well, more than likely the source of the musky smell. Gagging a little bit as he noticed that some of the toys had sludge on them as well, he ripped his sight away and quickly left the room.

"Lucas? Hey is that you out there!?"

Hearing Sydney's voice, he followed it into what appeared to be a patio. It was at the front of the house, a door slightly ajar to leave it open. Pushing it aside, Lucas saw that it was a room that had another door that most likely lead to the outside. Inside, there were a pile of clothes on the far end of the room, Sydney was using a tiny ironing board to iron some of them.

"Oh it was you, I was afraid for a second that we would have to entertain early," said Sydney

"Entertain early? What do they come every night or something?" asked Lucas.

"Since I struck the deal yes, they were actually here last night. I'm surprised that you didn't run into them when I found you. They had left not that long ago, probably for the best though,"

Lucas would have to agree, looking back he had charged blindly into the back yard guided by the feral need for food. If he had run into these Pokémon in the state he was in he probably would still be washing up in the bathroom.

"So what are you ironing there anyway? Something you do to help you cope?"

"Not really, I got used to being a Pokémon pretty quick. I'm actually ironing our uniforms that we will have to wear,"

"Our what?"

Sydney put aside the iron, the thing having to be wielded with two paws since Meowstic didn't have the claws to grip it firmly. What he showed Lucas made his heart plummet into his feet, his stomach turn into the arctic and his face the sun.

"No, no no and MORE no! I am NOT putting that on!"

"Come on, you have to!"

"Look I said I would help do my part, but this...THIS!"

Lucas was pointing at a dress, a classic maid outfit though there were a few more frills around the shoulders and the hem of the skirt. It was bad enough that he more than likely HAD to wear the dress. The worse part was that it was his size and body type. Who even got dresses like this?!

"I know what this is like, I didn't make the conditions for what I...we have to do. It isn't just a booty call, we have to entertain these guys as well!" explained Sydney.

The cat set the dress down in front of him and all that came with it: Stockings for the legs and arms, it even had a pair of panties to go with it. Starting to feel a little sick, Lucas fell on his haunches his paws in his face.

"Where do they even make underwear this tiny? That looks like it could fit on a toddler!" Lucas complained.

"I wouldn't know, after the deal was all finished up, they showed up the next morning with a wagon full of this stuff. As far as I know they probably make it themselves. If it means anything the clothes are stain resistant, they are a breeze to wash since I have to do it by hand,"

Slumping on his side Lucas started dragging a claw on the floor, looking like he was on the verge of tears.

"I thought it was just going to be sex," he mumbled

Knowing where Lucas was, Sydney set the dress aside and sat next to him. Pulling him back up to a sitting position, he made the mouse face him.

"Sex is a part of it, just some want more of an experience when they get here. I don't know what they get up to out there, but when they show up they want to unwind. Some watch T.V., others just fool around with the stuff in the basement. I do most of my work down there and sometimes there is what you think about and that happens upstairs in the bedroom. I'm only one Meowstic, I can't do them all I would never last,"

"You think they would want more sex if there were two of us?" asked Lucas

"I doubt it, most of the time they are more interested in getting drunk off their asses. I mean they do like sex, but I'm just the house whore to them. They only come to me if they don't have anybody they brought with them. Most of my work here is serving drinks, keeping things clean and the thing you're worried about. They said if I do a good job long enough they will let me work at the place they make their base at, where that is I don't know,"

"Now that you are breaking it down for me, this doesn't really seem all that bad. So basically this place is like a bar and we're the scantily clad help right?" said Lucas.

"Now you're getting it, now you wouldn't happen to have any other skills would you? I mean I really can't do much outside of what I told you. I'm still too weak with this psychic power to do much with it other than picking up surface thoughts. What about you? Any hobbies or anything like that?"

"Not really, I was a thief, not much else. I can do a little house repair thanks to my old man making me work for my food every once in awhile. There was also some club he stuck me in when I was younger, I wasn't cut out for it so I dropped out,"

Sydney tilted his head "A club, what kind of club?"

Lucas mumbled out an answer then decided to change the subject "So what time are we expecting the party goers today?"

"Huh? Oh right, they aren't going to be showing up this week. They said they were going to be going around re-establishing control around Indigo, they would be needing all the paws they can get and they wouldn't be around in the area. They will be back next week though,"

"Re-establishing control? Wait are you saying that the Pokemon are getting so organized they are actually going about to clean up the city?" said Lucas.

"Yeah, I'm starting to feel like all of this was premeditated. Like this was all a setup waiting to happen and humans were the ones caught with their pants down,"

"This is some heavy stuff here, what do you even think caused it to start with?" said Lucas

"I don't know, just two things kind of bug me. I was with Hunter before he went crazy. He was thrashing on the ground he was holding his head and I think he said something, something that I could understand,"

"What did he say to you? The Froslass that turned me was mute as far as I know. She left a note that morning saying that she was sorry for what happened. I don't get why she apologized as it seems these whack job Pokémon seem to want to turn humans. Whether they want to or not,"

"He said something that sounded like 'Mother', I didn't have much time to think about it. That was when he got up and attacked me," concluded Sydney.

"Huh, you said there were two things right? What was the other?"

Leaning his head back against the wall, Sydney stared at the ceiling. "For the past few nights I've been having a dream. I hear a voice that makes me feel warm inside, like tingly down to my toes. It keeps saying that I should come to Paradise,"

"Paradise? What kind of screwed up mess is that? You sure they didn't drug you at some point?"

The irony wasn't lost on Lucas as he had dreams that were similar with the Froslass appearing to him up until this point. He couldn't even be comfortable with the fact he hadn't dreamed of her when he fell asleep after the sex. Even if he appreciated that Sydney was being honest with him, Lucas wasn't ready to share his own delusions just yet.

"Maybe, I didn't dream of it last night. It usually happens right after they leave. It may be a good thing that I don't have to worry about them for a week. If I am drugged maybe that will get it out of my system," said Sydney.

He leaned his head against Lucas, prompting the mouse to look down at him.

"I'm glad I don't have to spend the week alone, even if you decided to leave in the morning it was nice Lucas. Maybe there is a paradise out there somewhere, maybe that is why all this happened. Hell on earth and there is a chance to find salvation out there,"

"Perhaps there is,"

Religion had never been something that Lucas cared for much, he wasn't against it like so many of the atheist fanatics that regularly screamed and hollered outside the one local church in the slums. To Lucas it was just something people took comfort in that when they eventually got their hole in the ground there would be a chance they could see people that went on before him. It was a nice thought, just something the thief never chose to think about. Lucas found himself closing his eyes, enjoying the intimate moment.

"Hey, say there is some kind of Paradise out there for people like us. You ever want to go looking for it?" said Lucas.

"Wouldn't that be dangerous though?"

"Not any more than what we've already been seen. I don't know how much stock I put into a dream, but hey truth can be stranger than fiction. You never know,"

A lick ran across Lucas neck making him shudder a little bit. Sydney smiled at him gently "Thank you," he said quietly. Another lick followed then another, Lucas tilted his head back, a small moan escaping him.

"S-sydney?"

He moved closer to him, pressing against Luca's neck with his muzzle taking in deep breaths of his scent. His arms wrapped around his friend, his voice coming out a sultry whisper.

"You never got your turn last night, I would think you would like to pitch this time..."

He looked up at him, green eyes glowing with a mixture of lust and mischief. Earlier feelings aside Lucas felt himself growing hard as Sydney forced him on his back.

"Wait a second, don't you think this is moving just a little too quickly here?"

"Sex may not be the focus, it is a part of the job. The way I see it best that you start learning how to get used to it before our free week is up. Besides we'll both enjoy it right?"

The cat started grinding his ass against Lucas, making his hips jerk pre drooling out in response. The teasing left the boy panting underneath Sydney.

"I know just...just..."

Not waiting for what answer he was stumbling over, Sydney pressed his lips against Lucas. He resisted for a moment, but then trying to come up with a reason not to have sex quickly became the furthest thing from his mind.
