A New Horizon
Mondays had been normally the same for Nick and Judy as they both got up at 5AM sharp. The doe took a moment admiring her well dressed fox. In his crisp ZPD uniform.
Nick looked back at his wife with that smirk she loved so much as he asked, "Carrots, do you think old Buffalo butt will let us off early today? So we can at least have everything set up for David's surprise party."
" Yes, Slick. David only turns 14 once in his life and the chief just adores him, he even calls him the precinct lucky charm. Oh, don't forget to call Finn so he can bring that vixen he's dating with the two daughters for the party." Judy said with a little more excitement in her voice.
" Sure thing Fluff. But something tells me David may not be into females like you think. Even though he is the star running back of his high school and practically every girl there is throwing their tail at him." Nick replied, taking in a breath of fresh air.
"Plus, you already know, he's at the top of his class. All I'm saying is just be open minded about his sexualty at least for his sake." Nick smiled at her while placing his ZPD issued Desert Eagle in his holster.
Judy sighed, knowing Nick was right about this type of thing.
" Ok, You're right Slick. I just never thought he was into guys like that. But if he is I will support our son, " Judy said as she walked over to Nick and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
As they got finished getting ready for work and headed out of their bedroom door. They both stopped as they got David's bedroom. It was cracked open slightly with the light from the hallway on his face as he slept. On his door in bold letters it said, Brilliant by day and Stargazer by night.
Taking a look inside to see their son David, an arctic wolf fast asleep. His ears and two tails twitched a little as he slept.
They made it to the living room when Judy asked, " Slick, Have you seen David checking out any guys when you and him go out sometimes?"
"Not really, if he does, he hides it really well, "
Nick replied back thinking about all the times he was out with his son.
Judy giggled while saying as much, "David has been with us ever since he was a kit and you're telling me you still can't read your own son. Wow! He's good."
Nick grumbled to himself knowing his mate had a good point. He could read almost every mammal, but when it came to his own son he found that David put up walls that even he himself couldn't break through.
Nick was proud of his son for so many different reasons, but the fact that he liked guys made him worry a bit. There were only a few gay couples around the city that he knew personally.
As they left the house and headed for the car while still talking about the party they had planned.
David woke up to the sound of his alarm clock going off with a loud.
"beep!"
Slowly opening his eyes and turned to see the time, it was 7am and the date was 7/20/2015.
He reached his paw over to the clock on his nightstand to shut it off before getting out of bed. Just like his dad, David wasn't a morning mammal. Dressed in only a pair of white boxers with red foxes on them, he stretched his arms hearing his own joints pop back into place. Before heading out of his room towards the bathroom.
It wasn't far from his bedroom as he made it there looking around seeing his dad and mom must have taken an early shower or something. He did his business before taking a quick shower himself.
After using the fur dryer he walked back to his bedroom to get dressed for school. David stood in front of his mirror that was on the back of his bedroom door.
Admiring his snow white fur and a nice dye job he did to the tips of his tails. The colors he chose were gray and rusty red. He smiled at himself because the football team thought he did it for them, but in actuality he did it for the two special mammals in his life.
David grabbed a pair of gray boxers from his dresser and red shirt with dark blue jeans.
Once he was dressed, David made his way to the kitchen. Walking pass a few pictures that hung on the hallway walls, some with just him and others of his mom and dad at the bunny burrows fair a few years back.
David stood in the kitchen for a moment still smelling the coffee his dad made this morning. He walked over to the counter and grabbed a couple of cricket energy bars.
Suddenly he heard the school bus honk its horn. David grabbed his backpack off the floor next to the door as he headed out of the house.
Getting on the school bus he was greeted with a warm smile by Mike, "Good morning David. How's the family?"
David replied, " They're doing fine, Mr Mike."
After David greeted Mr Mike, he walked towards the back of the bus. Seeing a few vixens eyeing him with lust in their eyes for him. Paying them no attention at all, he continued looking for his best friend Tammy.
The little black and white bunny always had a new story for him about her twelve brothers and sisters. And how he was lucky to be an only child.
Tammy wasn't even phased by this action anymore. Like when they were younger, he would catch her off guard just to hear her scream or hop. The only thing Tammy couldn't figure out was how on earth is he able to do it that in the first place? Her ears could hear exceptionally well, but for some strange reason when it came to David it was like he was walking on air.
Tammy turned her head to meet the smug looking wolf. She smiled as she motioned with her paw for him to come closer.
Tammy quickly grabbed a hold of his right ear twisting it slightly, as she reprimanded him, "mom told you to stop that a few weeks ago."
David whimpered in pain a little, "Ow! Ow! Tammy you win I will quit trying to scare you. Now will you please let my ear go."
Tammy let go of David's ear as she sat down in her seat looking up at the wolf she smiled knowing. Every mammal at their school thinks that their both brother and sister.
The ride wasn't long just ten minutes David sometimes thought to himself, "why don't I just walk to school?" But banish the thought after the bus arrives there at Greater Paws High School.
Getting off the bus with Tammy in toe as they walk through the school yard. A few of David's team mate's greet him with a high paw and talking about the new hottest tail their chasing.
David listened as he thought to himself, "females are fun to chase around and all, but I would like to find a guy that's kind and gentle."
Tammy broke David's concentration, saying, "Happy Birthday big guy. I almost forgot to tell you. So what are our parents planning this year?"
The other guys told him the same thing and stood there to see what he was going to say.
"I don't know. With those two you will probably never guess."
Suddenly a text hit Tammie phone along with some of the other football team players phones as well. It was from Mrs Wilde it reads "Wilde surprise party! After school 6pm don't let David find out."
They all read the text message and quickly put their phones away. David asked, "so what was that some new gossip going around the school again?"
"Yep, you wouldn't be interested in knowing anyways. Let's just get to class before the bell rings" Tammy replied as she pulled David along.
The guys quickly left heading to their own homeroom.
The first two classes passed by quickly. It wasn't until the start of the third period when the teacher, Mrs Longsnout a female tiger. Stood up in front of the class saying, "we have a new student with us today he's from Desiree Ireland. I like to welcome James Blackpaw."
David looked up from his book to see an all white arctic fox standing in front of the classroom dressed in a hot pink shirt with the words on the front of it saying "Hot Pursuit."
Mrs Longsnout said, "James take a seat anywhere you want to."
James quickly took his seat right behind David.
David watched as James passed by his desk and wasn't expecting for the Tods tail to brush up against his leg when he passed.
This made David tense up a little, as he looked over his shoulder at Tammy, who was smiling and apparently watching the whole thing. David regained his cool as he looked back at his book. After class was over Tammy and David walked to their lockers together.
David stopped as his eyes caught the sight of James as he walked out of class and over to his own locker. But was stopped abruptly by the tennis team captain.
He saw as one of the players pushed James away from the lockers saying, "no fags allowed by my locker so get the fuck from over here!"
This action made David's two tails fluff out a little as he walked over to James, seeing Jack the moose getting mad because James wouldn't leave. He was making a fist like he was going to hit him.
When David suddenly asked, "Is there a problem here Jack?" "Yeah, this fag said this is his locker, but I know better than that" Jack replied with a bit of a temper.
David glanced over to the paper James was holding in his paw, then at the number of the locker on it. Looking up at the lockers seeing the numbers matched. David said in an aggravated tone, "Jack, I'm going to ask you nicely to step aside. So James can put his things away and refrain from calling him a fag." "And if I don't?"
'SLAM!'
David pressed the moose's head up against the lockers with such force it made a few other lockers rattled as well.
David's powerful paw remained on Jack's head with his sharp Fang's on full display as he growled out, "or your team will be looking for a replacement for your ass. Now beat it!"
The tennis team looked at the action and was about to attack David, but suddenly stopped when they saw the whole football team standing right behind him.
Tammy said with anger in her voice, "all of you get the hell out of here before I let my brother and his friends rip you all apart!"
The whole tennis team looked wide eyed as David let go of Jack. They all quickly ran away saying something under their breath.
David looked back at his teammate's, mouthing thank you before they all left heading towards the lunchroom.
Then he turned his attention to the stunned fox saying, "James you shouldn't have anymore problems out of them. I think they got the message."
James was smiling and in a soft voice that could have been mistaken for a girl's, " Thank you. Oh, I never caught the name of my Savior. "
" Sorry, my name is David Wilde and this ball of anger here is Tammy. It's nice to meet you James" David said as he blushed a little. Tammy just punched him in the arm for that comment.
"It was nice to meet you both see you around, " James replied as he placed his things in his locker.
David never like seeing other mammals being treated badly or teased. As they walked away from James, Tammy looked back and caught James eyeing David's two tails as they swayed mesmerizingly back and forth as he walked away. Turning back to David, Tammy said, "I think someone has a crush on you big guy."
"That's impossible, no one in this school really knows me except you and I was just being nice, " David replied. Rolling her eyes, the doe said, " I know you like him. Hell, if he wasn't gay I would have gotten his number."
James finally made it to the lunch room, looking around for a place to sit. He finally spotted one at the far end of the lunch room. Walking over to the table with no one sitting there he takes a seat, then started to pull his lunch out.
He looked up from his lunch and was surprised to see a group of mammals with black make up on their faces and in all black outfits as they surrounded the table. James sighed before, he said, "what do you clowns want? Are you here to take up for the tennis team or something?"
A black and white tiger stepped out in front of the group. He said, "I don't give a damn what problem you have with the tennis team. You're sitting at the goth table and we don't like your kind." James stood up and got into the tigers face as he growled out, "What do you mean my kind?"
The tiger roared out in irritation, "faggots like you!"
Tammy and David stood in the lunch line, when Tammies ears stood straight up catching an argument coming from the far end of the lunch room.
Tammy looked up at David, who calmly stepped out of line heading towards the commotion. Tammy was right on his heels after hearing someone calling someone else a fag. She had a really bad feeling this argument was about James.
David made it to the table and saw a group of Goth mammals yelling at James calling him a fag along with other names.
David stepped in the middle of the crowd as his temper hit a new high. Spotting the large tiger about to punch James in his face.
Suddenly the tiger swung as David quickly pushed James out of the way as he stepped in front of the punch. Getting hit in the jaw with full force. David instantly looked at James and smiled before he turned his attention to the tiger.
Giving him a smirk saying, "I hope that wasn't all you had John? If so you're going to be in for a world of pain, " as he cracked his knuckles.
John roared out, "why are you protecting this fag?"
David really hated that word. Uppercuting the big cat sending him flying into the next table, barking out, "stop calling my friend a fag! No one hurt's what's mine, Friend or otherwise!"
David let out a primal howl that caught the attention of the football team as they all rushed over.
They all knew from the howl that this was going to get ugly real quick if David wasn't restrained.
James stood next to Tammy at the table watching everything with his jaw dropped open. Thinking, "what the fuck? This is the second time this wolf has stepped into a fight on my behalf today and for some strange reason he's fighting for me, " this made the vulpine smile.
Tammy suddenly broke the glossy eyed Tod out of his thoughts saying, "I know you like him. I saw you eyeing his tails earlier today. You may not know this, but he's the star running back on the football team. Come by practice today after school and watch."
James eyes went wide with shock as the black and white doe spoke to him. "I will. Thanks for the invite" James replied with a sheepish smile.
Suddenly the doors of the lunch room burst opened. As two security guards ran towards the group of mammals. A tiger and rhino pulled David off John. The tiger glanced at David's eyes and for a moment could have sworn he seen them turn Savage.
He shook his head before he asked, "who started the fight?"
John pointed at the fox saying, "that fag had his boyfriend here beat me up!" Tammy barked out, "you and your flunkies started the whole thing."
"Everyone is going to the principal's office now. So start walking" the rhino yelled out.
As they all made their way to the principal's office. James, Tammy, and David were the first to be seen. Principal Rick, who was a large timber wolf. Compared to David, who was the runt of his litter. Sat behind his desk looking through some paperwork.
He suddenly looked up to see David and his friends walking into his office. With a warm smile Rick asked, " And who do I owe the pleasure of seeing my star running back and his friends in my office today?"
Principal Rick sat back in his chair as David stepped up.
"Hi, principal Rick. Sorry for coming in here without an appointment, but I got into a minor scuffle with John today. He was making fun of James here. Then he punched me in the face."
Principal Rick raised an eyebrow as he looked over at the fox James before asking, "is that what happened at lunch today James?"
"Yes, sir. This is the second time I had a problem with different mammals today. First, it was the tennis team and now the goth group. I came to this school to learn not to be teased for my sexuality!" as James said that his tail quickly wrapped itself around the leg of David.
David took notice, but said nothing about it, he was enjoying the feeling of James tail being so close to him.
Tammy took notice of this action from the vulpine she smiled as principal Rick said, "I don't allow fighting in my school or name calling!" He excused them from his office and called in John and his group.
Before they all left the office principal Rick said, "David do me a favor and watch out for James for me he needs a friend like you, " he winked at David.
David looked at the clock on the wall reading 3:25pm. David said, "we been in there that long? Tammy, James, I'm sorry, but I have to run. Don't want to be late for practice."
"Don't worry David. I will keep an eye on your lucky charm for you, " Tammy said, but David was out the door when he caught Tammies last words.
David rushed to the locker room and put on his gear. He thanked serenity he made it to the field on time before his coach had a chance to yell at him again for being late.
Coach Reese was on the field when David arrived. " Sorry coach, I'm late. Had to handle an issue that came up, " David said as the coach looked his way.
Coach Reese replied, "I already heard about your scuffle with that goth freak. You did good for standing up for your friend, but it's time for some drills."
Tammy and James made it to the bleachers in time to catch the begin of practice. As they sat there watching David practice with his teammate's.
James quite pulled out his sketchbook from his backpack as he sat there watching. This tods paws moved fast as he started to draw the each player on the offensive line.
Tammy looked over at James and saw he had his muzzle and paw in a sketchbook. This peeked her interest in what he was drawing so she asked, "James what are you drawing?"
James didn't hear Tammy as his mind was so focused on his drawing he didn't even hear the doe. Tammy didn't take any offense of James not hearing her. An idea popped into the doe's mind as she snuck up closer and got a peek of what James was really drawing.
The doe's eyes went wide as soon as she layed her eyes on the paper. She was amazed how he was able captured the team as they lined up on the offense line. James had a good eye for detail and fast paws as he could catch all of the action as he drew.
When James finished the drawing Tammy asked again this time a little clearer, "Can see that drawing for a moment James?"
"Why? Are you going to make fun of me too?"James replied looking a little scared as if he was back in his old school.
Tammy shook her head vigorously as she replied,"I wouldn't dream of doing that to you. I just want to show the coach that's all. This drawing is really fucken good. "
James blushed slightly before saying, "Thank you Tammy it means a lot."
Tammy ran down three of the bleachers, getting close to the field as she could calling out for coach Reese to come over to her.
The black stallion walked over to Tammy saying, "What can I do for my future head cheerleader."
Tummy just passed the paper with the drawing on it over to the coach. Reese took one look at it and his jaw just dropped open. He never saw anyone capture his player's like this in a drawing.
Looking up Reese quickly blew his whistle to stop the practice as he called everyone over to him. The entire team rushed over to see what the coach wanted. Reese stood there for a moment gathering his thoughts as he held up the drawing in his hoof for the team to see, then asked, "Tammy, Who drew this masterpiece?"
Tammy pointed up to the bleachers where James sat, busy drawing something else as she said, "Oh, David's boyfriend James."
A wicked smile shot across the doe's muzzle as she looked at David. The whole team looked up at James. Feeling eyes watching him James looked up from his sketchbook seeing everyone's eyes were looking at him for some reason now.
Coach Reese looked at every football player before yelling out, "David! Front and center!" David stepped up to his coach not really taking his eyes off the evil bunny and her mincing smirk.
Reese asked while pointing up at the Tod, "Do you know that mammal?"
"Yes, coach his name is James Blackpaw, " David replied as James and his eyes met. Locking on each other for a moment before David started to blush and heat up under his furr.
Boss the lion quarterback yelled out, "David your boyfriend has mad skills. I would have swan it came out of a gallery or something. If I hadn't seen it for myself."
"He's not my boyfriend." David replied while still blushing under his fur.
The whole team yelled back at him, "Yes, he is!"
Davids jaw dropped after hearing this from his teammate's. Dan the dingo piped in, "David the whole team already knows your gay and were fine with that. We all confirmed it three months ago at Rebecca's party!"
David thought back to Rebecca's party and noticed that the guys did send every available girl his way. But he just blew them off like a common cold not really thinking much of it.
Coach Reese broke David's train of thought as he chimed in, " Go over there and ask him out already. And ask him does he want to be the sketch artist for the team as well?"
David could feel his fur start to heat up as he walked over to the bleachers where James was sitting at. All while thinking, "What would my Dad do at a time like this?"
Suddenly his dad's smug appearance appeared out of nowhere saying, " Make your first move right. You got this you're a Wilde child after all, " he said, then suddenly vanished.
When David was out of earshot coach Reese said, "I hope that fox says yes and ruts that fucking boys' brains out, because I think the school is running out of dummy's for him to hit."
Everyone crossed their paws as they watched David walk up the bleachers.
David cleared the fog from his mind as he looked up and was muzzle to muzzle with James.
David looked into the foxes, sea green eyes as he asked, "James, are you seeing anyone?"
James didn't respond to the question. Instead, he did something unsuspected, he kissed the arctic wolf in front of his whole team.
Coach Reese yelled out, " So we can take that as a yes! Right!"
David was certainly surprised by this action, but as his dad always told him, "A cool headed mammal always wins a heated battle."
David deepened the kiss getting the Vulpine to moan so softly into his mouth. Breaking the kiss the two stood there out of breath and panting heavily.
As David put on his dad's smirk saying, "I guess I can take that as a yes. My very sly fox."
James was catching his breath while he gazed into the wolves sky blue eyes. Getting himself under control James replied, "No, I'm not seeing anyone. But this hot wolf I have had my eyes on looks quite tasty to me."
David turned his head as he yelled back at his coach, " He will be here tomorrow. You can count on him! "
Coach Reese looked at his watch, it was 5:30pm. He yelled out loud, " practice is over for today! Go home and get some rest, " then blew his whistle.
Tammy looked at David and James before she said, "Hey guys I have to run my mom is waiting for me. David, are you ok with walking James home?"
David's eyes flashed a savage look as he replied, " Tell Mom, I said Hi. And don't worry about James. I wouldn't let anyone lay a paw on my snow fox."
Once Tammy was out of eyesight, she took off running towards David's house as she passed the school.
The doe was glad David only lived six blocks away from the school. As a trail of dust followed her every step.
Once Tammy got there she knocked on the door and was pulled in as soon as the door opened.
Tammy looked around the dimly lit house for a moment before Judy punched Nick saying, "You almost gave her a heart attack. You dumb fox!"
"Carrots, I really didn't mean it. It was just so perfect. Sorry Tammy if I scared you, " Nick said after his mate punched him in the arm.
"That's ok Mr Wilde. So is everyone here yet?" Tammy asked.
Judy replied, " Yes, but we all thought David would be coming home with you when you came here."
Judy's mind quickly switched over to detective and mom mode at the same time. As she eye the young doe down with a menacing glare.
Nick chimed in, " I can turn her off it you just tell us what's going on. "
Tammy cracked under Judys glare, saying, " David is walking home with his new boyfrien. "
" You see Carrots, there's nothing to worry about our son is walking home with his new boyfriend!? " Nick stopped as he caught the last word to come out his mouth.
The duo looked at Tammy as they asked in unison, " When did he get a boyfriend and why are we just hearing about this now?"
Coach Reese could see why David is also on the debate team as he piped in, "Because it just happened today at practice. The young Tod has talent look, " the black stallion pulled out the paper with the drawing on it and pawed it over to Judy.
They both looked at the picture trying to find the right words to say.
Nick just chuckled as he said, "I can make a killing off this drawing. Hey Finn come here- "
"Not a chance in hell! Your days of conning are long over Slick" Judy voiced her opinion as she passed the paper back to the coach.
Judy and Tammy ears swivel to the right catching Davids voice coming their way. Judy could tell her son was only two blocks away.
Judy looked at everyone before saying, "Everyone needs to scatter now he's only two blocks away."
David and James walked down the street talking about this and that when David asked, "So this morning in Mrs Longsnout class. Were you aware that your tail grazed my leg or in the principal's office when you decided to wrap it around me as well?"
James blushed as he replied, " In Mrs Longsnout class. I didn't notice that happened at all, but as for the principal's office. I just had to take a chance with you, I mean you stood up for me not just once, but twice. You even took a shot in the jaw for me as well. After that I knew I had to have you."
David could feel his body heat up as he started to blush a little as a smile appeared on his muzzle. They finally came to a stop when they reached David's house.
David looked at James and said, " This is the best birthday gift anyone has ever gotten me."
"Hold on, it's your birthday today?" James asked still smiling.
"Yes, I just turned 14 today. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?" David asked as he cocked his head. "Wow, you're only 14? I thought I was the youngest in the eleventh grade, but I just turned 15 three months ago." James replied back.
David noticed every light was off in his house, but took it as his parents must've had to stay at the Precinct late tonight. He turned towards James asking, "so do you want to study for a bit or do you live too far away?"
James replied, "I live only two houses down from here. So we can go study if you like, " with his tail still wrapped around David's leg.
David and James entered the house and out of nowhere everyone jumped out yelling, " Surprise! Happy birthday David!"
James quickly turned away as he buried his muzzle into Davids shirt. Taking in his wonderful musk of snowy forest. David wrapped his arms around James along with his two tails shielding his Fox from any danger. Davids eyes went savage for a moment until he finally focused and looked around. As he saw all of his friends from school.
While thinking to himself, "I know those two were up to something. When I heard everyone's phones went off for no reason. Mom and dad were setting me up a surprise party."
David smiled as he relaxed his tails and started wagging them joyfully.
Nick and Judy noticed their son was holding on to an arctic fox that was wrapped up in his arms.
Nick was the first to ask, "So who's your new friend son?" James quickly turned around to see a red fox and a gray bunny looking at him smiling.
"This is James my boyfriend, " David replied as he could feel his fur starting to heat up. As he looked at his parents a little worried.
Judy waved her paw in the air as she said, "Don't be shy David we don't judge in this den. Anyway, Tammy, already told us he was coming over."
Judy just through Tammy under the bus as David looked the doe's way, giving her a predatory glare before it turned into a soft smile.
Nick chuckled as Judy said, "Son you and James go put your things away in your room and we will talk after the party."
"Oh, James what's your last name?" Nick asked before the Tod had a chance to leave.
"It's Blackpaw, Mr Wilde, " James answered back before joining David in the hallway.
