Heat Wave

*Drake*

"Your parents are going to do WHAT?"

_ _

My voice boomed as tears began to fill my eyes. I couldn't believe the words I just received. Tyran, with his cheek fur matted with tears, had just given devastating news. This news caused my insides to burn and my mind to shutdown. I looked Tyran in the eye and gave off a pathetic growl.

_ _

"They... They are sending me to military school." Tyran spoke softly and sniffled. He looked as if he has been crying long before I made it to his house. The sight left me weak. I wanted to reach out to him, but first this new piece of information needed to be processed.

_ _

If today couldn't get any worse? First, I got into a fight with my cousin, Caleb. As we were walking home from school, out of nowhere, my hybrid cousin questioned if I was a homosexual. He said some pretty hateful words; some which I could never forgive him for saying. Our relationship was pretty much over, yet I desperately wanted it to remain intact. Caleb meant the world to me. I never imagined not having him in my life.

_ _

Now, no more than thirty minutes after Caleb abandoned me for good, I stood in front of Tyran to receive the most tragic news ever. Today was supposed to be a good day. This was the last day of school. I imagined a smooth transition into the summer, but this... Today... my life.... I felt like someone threw me in a blender and forgot they left it on. Could I catch a break?

_ _

I took a step towards Tyran and he immediately stepped back further into his house. The reaction pierced my heart as I watched my boyfriend retreat. I did not understand. Was he scared of me? Did he not love me anymore? I cringed at the thought.

_ _

"What?" I whispered as I took another step toward him. "Come here, Tyran..."

_ _

The little lion stared at me with so much pain. He appeared lost, or stuck between two decisions. If only I could get my arms around him. I could make it better, Tyran; for the both of us.

_ _

From inside the house a ominous laugh could be heard. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

_ _

I glanced over Tyran's shoulder to catch sight of Shaun. My fist tightened and jaw clenched. That bastard. This was all his fault! "SHAUN! GET YOUR ASS OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW YOU SONOFABITCH!"

_ _

Shaun's laughter halted. Our eyes met and I could see a hint of triumph present in his dark pupils. That only angered me more. My love for Tyran was not some game of chess. For this mutt to treat my emotions and feelings like a game pushed me over the edge. I wanted that pit to taste the edge of my fist.

_ _

Shaun continued to look me straight in the eye before a smirk curled his lips. He then turned around and walked away. Now what was he up to? I didn't know, but Tyran's presence brought me back to the problem at hand. I gave my attention back to my boyfriend.

_ _

"Military school?" I let out a little whimper as I spoke. "They can't do this... They can't just send you off because of..." I stopped before speaking the inevitable truth; my mind returned to the conversation I had with Caleb earlier.

_ _

Tyran said nothing. He stood in place with an odd look on his face. It wasn't anger... Not fear...

_ _

"Tyran, they can't just get rid of you because we love each other."

_ _

The little lion was quiet. He kept the same expression and for reasons unknown, this look he had troubled me.

_ _

"This shouldn't have happened. I thought we had more time to prepare for this exact event, but Shaun fucked it all up..." I sighed and looked down, no longer able to stare into that soul-sucking gaze. "He told Caleb, and I'm sure Caleb will tell my entire family soon... They probably won't send me off to military school. You can't be to sure, though...

_ _

"I'm scared." I slowly looked up again. "I'm so scared of what is going to happen, AND THE ONLY THING THAT IS KEEPING ME FROM EXPLODING FROM THE INSIDE OUT IS KNOWING I HAVE YOU!"

_ _

Tyran's expression suddenly changed after my last words. The unknown expression had vanished. Suddenly, tears began to fill his eyes.

_ _

"Drake..." He whimpered. My ears perked up as I eagerly awaited his next words.

_ _

"Yes, Tyran?"

_ _

Tyran looked off to the side with his eyes closed. "I can't have a boyfriend, and we aren't allowed to see each other again."

_ _

My eyes widened. I was not expecting those words. Deep down, I wanted Tyran to love me through all of this misery and pain life was throwing our way. Instead, the most horrible scenario played out. I never believed Tyran would give up on us so easily; especially after how hard we worked to get here.

_ _

"Wait... No..." Now tears streamed down my face. "I can't lose you and Caleb! We can make this work... I don't care about distance. I've loved you from a distance this entire time! I won't let you just give up on what we have so easily!"

_ _

"You don't have a choice," said a voice coming from behind Tyran. Tyran's dad, a tall German Shepard, walked into view. He grabbed Tyran and pulled him behind his towering body.

_ _

"Mr. Cruz... I-I..."

_ _

"You were leaving." Mr. Cruz, Tyran's father, interrupted me before attempting to shut the door. I subconsciously caught the handle before the door shut causing Mr. Cruz to glare at me with frustration.

_ _

"I won't let you take Tyran away from me!" I pushed the door and it swung open to reveal Mr. Cruz. "I can't believe you're being this way! I use to look up to you for being a good dad, but now I see you're just a shitty as all the other fathers!"

_ _

Mr. Cruz stepped outside and grabbed me by the collar of my shirt. "Look here you little piece of filth. That is my son in there and you are not allowed to come near him, YOU GOT THAT? If I see you near my house again, I will call the police and get a restraining order."

_ _

The Shepard shoved me, causing me to lose balance and fall into the grass of their front lawn. I looked up at him; fire filled my eyes. I could only see red at the moment. This happened to me once before. The night I fought Shaun and his gang I felt the same way. Lost. Angry. Afraid. Hurt.

_ _

I pushed my body up and launched at Tyran's dad. He tried to move out of the way, but I was quicker and grabbed leg before bringing him to the ground. I got on top of the Shepard and glared down at him. I wanted to punch him. I wanted to see blood.

_ _

I wanted to stop feeling so damn helpless!

_ _

With my fist cocked back, I released it at the muzzle below me, but to my dismay another paw intercepted my own. I looked up to see who had caught my punch to find Ace. The tall black wolf picked me up, and cast my body to the side. He then looked down at the Shepard and spoke.

_ _

"Get up and go inside. I'll take care of him and get him home." The Shepard obeyed and fled the scene.

_ _

I jumped back up and got into a low fighting crouch. It wasn't my usual stance, and it showed just how angry I was at the moment. The thought of Tyran and Caleb filled my thoughts. My blood pumped; adrenaline rushed.

_ _

"Calm down, kid and tell me what's wrong." Ace said calmly.

_ _

"Get out of my fucking way! They can't stop me from seeing him!" I yelled before charging at Ace and releasing a wide swing to his muzzle.

_ _

Ace stepped out of the way, grabbed the back of my neck, and forced me to the ground with ease. This was new. I had never been taken down this easy, so this Ace guy must have been even more dangerous than myself.

_ _

With a paw holding the back of my neck and a knee in my back, Ace lowered his muzzle to my ear and whispered. "Focus, Drake. I know about you and Tyran. Don't let your anger get the best of you, ok? This isn't you. You're better than this. You know that because it's the reason Tyran fell in love with you."

_ _

Ace said the words I needed to hear, because I instantly began to calm down and think a little clearer. My body relaxed and Ace removed himself before helping me to my feet. I turned away and stared at the ground. I couldn't bring myself to look at Tyran's home or Ace in the eye. I felt weak. I felt fear.

_ _

Ace handed me my backpack, which was lost in the calamity. I took it and he motioned me toward his car, not saying a word. He opened the passenger door for me and I got in. Before ducking down to take my seat, I noticed Tyran staring at me through an open window. The only thing I could do was return his gaze before getting inside Ace's car.

_ _

The car backed out of Tyran's driveway and sped off as distance was put between my former boyfriend and I. Neither Ace, nor I spoke for the first five minutes. I was lost in my thoughts. Better yet, my thoughts were lost on Tyran. The little lion's words kept playing over and over in my head. How could he just give up on us. Have we not been through enough tragedy in the past year? Why was God punishing me in particular? Do you really hate homosexual relationships that much, God?

_ _

Ace gripped the steering wheel tightly within his paws. His forehead had a few wrinkles. He looked upset, but at the same time, calm.

_ _

"It's a damn shame nothing has changed in all these years." Ace growled.

_ _

I looked at the black wolf in confusion. What did he mean by that? I wanted to ask, but hesitated before speaking. The event earlier left me embarrassed and ashamed.

_ _

"I'm sorry..." I said timidly.

_ _

Ace glanced over at me and sighed. His face relaxed and the grip on the steering wheel lessened as he replaced his focus back on the road.

_ _

"It's not you, Drake. Tyran's parents are just so damn old fashion! Who the hell do they think they are telling two people they can't love each other?" Ace growled. "Tyran called me after he found out about military school. He wanted me to talk with his parents..."

_ _

"What were you going to say to them?" I queried.

_ _

"I don't know." Ace's head shook slowly. "But it doesn't matter now. They won't listen to anything I have to say."

_ _

So many questions swirled around my troubled mind. I decided to let a few slip threw my muzzle.

_ _

"Why would Tyran call you?"

_ _

Ace kept his eyes on the road. He didn't answer immediately. He seemed to be lost in thought.

_ _

I continued, "Tyran and I haven't told anyone about our relationship, so how come you were the first person he called?"

_ _

In a way, I was hurt. Tyran and I were boyfriends. One would think I would be the first person he'd call in a dire situation. Hell, I was headed straight to him after my little spat with Caleb.

_ _

"Tyran called me because I'm a gay male, and have a little experience in this area." Ace's words left my mouth agape. "I was headed there to talk his parents out of sending him to military school... Maybe even offer him a place to stay, but..."

_ _

Ace glanced at me.

_ _

"You kind of screwed up the entire plan."

_ _

My ears laid flat against my head. If only I had known of this little piece of information, maybe things would have gone differently.

_ _

"Again, I'm sorry."

_ _

Ace gave a quick smile and pet me on the head. "Look, kid. Shit happens. You just have to pick yourself up and keep moving. You need to keep your distance from Tyran."

_ _

I shot up in attempt to protest that last statement, but was interrupted.

_ _

"Focus, Drake." As Ace began to speak we stopped at a red light. He turned and made eye contact with me, giving a serious expression. "You can't prove your love to his parents. They will look at you as if you are a child, and if you are persistent you will just be pushed away from Tyran even more. They will not give into your desires just because you love him. This is not a fairytale. You will not be able to be his night and shining armor this time around."

_ _

The words caused me to gasp. They knocked all the wind out of me in an instance. How was I supposed to love him now?

_ _

Ace continued. "You're smart and strong, Drake, but you will never be happy unless you forget."

_ _

Ace began to drive once more. He was not on the right path to my house, but I did not pay to much attention. The conversation at hand was far more interesting.

_ _

"How do I forget, Ace?" My voice was only a whisper. "How do you forget about someone you love?

_ _

The car stopped in front of a building. Ace leaned over and looked at the establishment that read 'DIABLO APOSTLES' in big red letters.

_ _

"You fight, kid."

_ _

_ _

_ _

_ _

_ _

*Caleb*

I twisted a piece of paper.

_ _

The paper broke.

_ _

I retracted another small piece of paper and empty a green herb inside of it. I then pulled the paper over, tucked it, and began rolling it again.

_ _

The paper broke once more.

_ _

I balled my fist with the paper inside of it and cursed under my breath before starting the process again. This time I tried to slow down. At the moment, anger caused me to do very stupid things. I would do something really stupid if I didn't calm down.

_ _

Why was I angry?

_ _

Was it the unusual truth of Drake's sexuality?

_ _

Maybe knowing my cousin and brother choose a guy over his own flesh and blood?

_ _

The lies and secret life I was not apart of could be what filled me with so much anger.

_ _

Or the fact I could not get this out of my head. I needed to smoke, but every time I started to roll a joint my anger would cause me to screw it up. In the last ten minutes, the ground had more marijuana than me.

_ _

I successfully rolled a perfect joint after twenty attempts. Once I finished, my phone buzzed and I checked to see what caused the disturbance. A message popped up on the screen with the name Amber just above it. I rolled my eyes and clicked 'open'.

_ _

Amber: 'Where the hell are you? Remember our plans today? After school we were suppose to meet up and hangout at my house?

_ _

I sighed. I completely forgot about Amber. My mind was everywhere today. She was not going to be happy about this... But did I care? I would at least try to.

_ _

Caleb: 'Sorry, babe. I completely forgot. Drake and I decided to walk home after the last bell.'

_ _

Amber wasted no time. Her reply came immediately. Just like a girl.

_ _

Amber: 'Well ditch him and come over. My parents won't be home until later tonight ;)'

_ _

A disturbance in my pants could be felt as I read the message. Amber wanted to do a little more than 'hangout', and to be honest I needed a release. After everything that has happened today, the touch, smell, and taste of a female could surely ease the growing anger building up inside.

_ _

Caleb: 'On my way.'

_ _

I placed the joint in my pocket and grabbed my back before heading to Amber's.

_ _

As I walked to my destination, the image of Amber's naked body flashed in my head. I imagined those huge tits, and cute bubble ass; her perfectly shaped body that could bend in unnatural positions. Her tongue. Oh God, that barbed tongue that would unexpectedly coax out a nut.

_ _

I shivered and grinned.

_ _

Felines definitely had a gift. The way their tongues are made is perfect for blowjobs. Surprisingly, I did not have a barbed tongue. I had a few feline traits, but overall I took after my wolf side of the family. If only I was blessed with a barbed tongue. The ladies would go wild! I always enjoy letting my tongue wash over a clit. The reaction it received drove me insane!

_ _

My pants became tighter and tighter as I neared my destination. I retracted my phone once more and found Amber's message from earlier and began to write another text message.

_ _

Caleb: 'I'm almost there. I can't wait to get there. You better be naked when I walk in. I want you to sit on my face.'

_ _

Amber: '*shivers* You got me all wet now! HURRY!'

_ _

I was at Amber's door the moment her text came through. I licked my lips before walking into her house. Once inside, the sight of a naked feline, legs spread, left my muzzle on the floor. Oh boy, this was going to be fun. Just what I needed to take my mind off of everything that happened today.

_ _

Amber's eyes held so much lust. She looked at me and bit her lip. That always drove me crazy. Everything about this scenario turned me on. The tip of my cock started to peak through my zipper and a wet spot from the pre stood out on the grey briefs I wore today.

_ _

The feline motioned me over with her finger.

_ _

"So you have my seat ready?" Amber said in a sexy tone.

_ _

I grinned and picked Amber up; her legs draped over my shoulders.

_ _

"Yes, my queen. Your thrown is ready." I said as I carried us off to her room.

_ _

_ _

****

_ _

Amber and I lay naked in queen size bed. Our bodies were limp as exhaustion spread through us like a virus. We lay motionless, the only movement being a rapid rise and decline of our stomachs as we breathed heavily in attempt to regain our breath. I lied on my back with my arms and legs extended. The form almost resembled an X.

_ _

Amber head rest on my stomach with her body extended in the same form as mine. I could tell she was wore out from the events that took place moments ago. Her blonde hair was no longer straight and perfect. I put those gold locks to good use as I used them as a handle bar. I ran a paw through the tangled hair.

_ _

"Fuck.. That was just what I needed, babe." I said as I panted. "You sure know how to use... well, everything."

_ _

Amber repositioned herself; she now rested on her stomach.

_ _

"I could say the same about you." Amber grinned. "You sure know how to use that dick and tongue. Where the hell did you learn that?"

_ _

I grinned back at the beautiful feline. "I watch a lot of porn."

_ _

We both laughed.

_ _

"Heheh! Please, continue watching all the porn you want." Amber giggled as she climbed on top of me and sat on my stomach. "Just don't run off and become a porn star."

_ _

"You really think I could be a porn star?"

_ _

"You fuck like one."

_ _

I flipped us over; now I hovered the feline. "Then you need to start paying me for this porn star sex you're getting."

_ _

Amber licked my nose. "Ok, let me get my purse."

_ _

I leaned down and pressed my lips against the feline's. This chick was awesome. I haven't been a good boyfriend to her, but she was always the perfect girlfriend. Finding someone who you connect with is rare. She was just so perfect. Smart, sexy, and funny. I hit the trifecta.

_ _

Over the past few weeks, I have not showed her much affection. Shaun gave me some disturbing information that has occupied my mind for days. Every time I tried to forget about all that happened, something would bring it back up. I felt trapped. So trapped that I shut out everyone who tried to care for me. Amber was one of those people.

_ _

The feline gave me a confused look.

_ _

"Are you ok? You are acting different today. Good different, but different nonetheless." Amber said.

_ _

"Everything is fine," I said, giving a false smile before sitting at the edge of her bed. In an instance, all of the problems that troubled my soul had resurfaced. The thought of Drake filled my mind. I grabbed my pants off of the floor and took out the joint from earlier. I lit the joint and inhaled.

_ _

Amber crept up from behind and wrapped her arms around my neck. The feel of her naked body and the joint soothed my thoughts again. That was close.

_ _

"You sure? I mean, whatever it is can be worked out. I mean, its not the end of the world," Amber whispered.

_ _

She was wrong. Maybe it's not the end of the world, but it's the end of a world. A world Drake and I built from our infant years. To be honest, I felt like someone died today. In reality, the only thing that died was Drake's trust and love for me. I knew I crossed a line; but so did Drake. He lied to me. He pushed me away. He replaced me. Our forever had ended and now I didn't know what to do...

_ _

I looked up as Amber rubbed my back and caught sight of myself in a mirror placed directly in front of her bed. The reflection of a grey hybrid stared back. How odd? The resemblance between my cousin and I was uncanny. I almost believed Drake was in the room with me. Of course we shared a few features, but looking at my reflection made me realize something new...

_ _

As I stared at myself in the mirror, my eyes wondered off in Amber's direction. She was beautiful, no doubt, but what I saw went past physical looks. Weird enough, as I stared at Amber, the thought of Tyran pushed into my mind. Before I knew it, the reflection of Amber and I vanished; only to be replaced with the image of Tyran and Drake sitting naked on the bed.

_ _

I shook my head as if the troubling image would fall out of my head. My attempt failed. I continued to think about my cousin. The similarities we shared did not sit well. We looked the same, with a few minor differences. We liked the same things. Ate the same food. Played the same video games. Even shared the same family. We were the same person. That thought put more fear in me than anything. Because if we had all of these things in common...

_ _

If we were the same person...

_ _

Does that mean...

_ _

Could I be attracted to another male?

_ _

NO!

_ _

The answer to that question will be no, and will always be no. I am a man, who loves women; all types of women. The idea of being with a man was disturbing. Yet, it happened to Drake. Where did he go wrong? Maybe he didn't have enough sex with women. That is a possibility, right?

_ _

No. None of that matters. The only thing that I cared about was being as different as I could. Drake and I were no longer on the same path. In order to stay the guy I am now, I will have to sleep with more women. That is my only choice.

_ _

A paw slid down my back. I was snapped out of the deep, dark thought.

_ _

"Caleb?"

_ _

I grabbed Amber's paw and squeezed it gently.

_ _

"Amber, I'm sorry, but we can't do this any more."

_ _

Amber gasped and jerked her paw out of my grasp.

_ _

"Wait? WHAT? The fuck are you talking about?!"

_ _

I stood up and grabbed my clothes, trying my best to not make eye contact with Amber.

_ _

"I-I'm sorry."

_ _

I left the rooms with tears filling my eyes and Drake in my mind.

_ _

_ _

_ _

Sneak Peak:

SUA

"So what did you do to get thrown in here?" The bear asked. Everyone gave me their attention as they stared at me in anticipation. Their stares demanded an answer. What should I tell them?

The truth?

Not the truth. The truth would only make bullies, not friends. You can't tell a room full of delinquents about your parents sending you to military school for dating a guy. Might as well cut your own foot off.

I had to lie. If I were to survive in this hellhole I would need a new personality. I had to become someone else, and the perfect person popped up into my head. The only way to keep my head out of a toilet was to transform my personality into Shaun. How hard could it be? I had a front row seat to observe his stupidity for years.

"Shit dude, where do I start?" I looked the bear straight in the eye. "This boxer guy at my old school thought he was tough, so me and a bunch of guys got together and fucked him up. The police came and took us in. You know how that go. Parents had to come get us. The folks were pissed! Especially after they found some of the sticky when they booked me."

All eyes were on me as I pulled them into a complete lie. So far, so good, it seemed.

"Then my adopted brother and I got into a little fight. I found out he had a boyfriend." The crowd gasped. "I know, a boyfriend. The dude was a complete homo! Who would have guessed? Not me, that's for sure."

"Get the fuck out of here," The bear said as he shook his head.

"No lie, man. I caught the little faggot in bed with his boyfriend one night. I beat the shit out of both of them. My parents weren't so thrilled with my reaction, so they sent me here. "I shrugged. "No big deal. I rather be here than in a house with a fag."

The crowd of guys began to converse, all in shock from the story I just pulled out of my ass. Conversations formed. I couldn't hear everything said, but the occasional, "He's small, but a complete badass," was thrown in every now and then. I gave a triumphant smirk.

"So you finally fought Drake?"

I froze as a mysterious voice fell over the room. A tall, muscular, carmel wolf emerged from the crowd. Furs moved out of his way as he walked toward where I stood. As the wolf moved closer I could make out a familiar face.

With my jaws hung open, I mumbled the name, "Jakob?"
