"Riku!" Sora huffed in discontent.
"M?" Riku moaned through closed lips, his eyes still locked shut in an attempt to hold onto the tiny sliver of sleep that was keeping him from snapping.
"You're hogging all the blankets!" Sora whined.
"Am not," Riku rolled from his side to his stomach, burying his face in his pillow, knowing that a war was about to start, as it always had when Sora wasn't happily sleeping. The two had been friends for forever, and Riku knew Sora like a brother he never wanted, but still cared about.
"Yes you are, and now I'm cold." Sora shivered dramatically. Riku let out a loud huff before he sat up, looked over Sora's side of the bed, and rolled his eyes.
"That's cause all of the blankets are hanging on the floor on YOUR side!" Riku said in annoyance.
"Huh? Would you look at that?" Sora sat up slowly, still groggy as he whispered his question to himself.
"Goodnight." Riku slunk back into his spot of the bed, still warm and cozy from the night's occupation.
"Night Riku!" Sora chirped happily with his cat tail wriggling in content. His furry ears twitched to detect any possible noise as he tried to fall back asleep.
Riku on the other hand, his long wolf's tail curled nearly to the back of his knees as his body shivered up to his wolf ears. Despite their otherwise human bodies, their ears and tails showed what animal their bodies had the potential to morph into upon command.
"Are you cold?" Sora asked naively as he felt Riku's tail swish against his legs.
"No." Riku mumbled, trying desperately to cling onto the last bit of sleep that teased him with an enticing warmth.
"I'm bored." Sora squeaked, knowing that pissing off the silverrete was never a good thing, but usually beyond his control.
"Go to bed." Riku gave Sora his back in frustration.
"Riku, play with me!" Sora begged, sitting up, his tail wagging as he scratched his fluffy orange ears.
"Let me sleep." Riku whined like a grumpy child.
"Hehe." Sora giggled randomly, causing Riku to open an eye in suspicion. It went quiet before he felt something holding his tail down, not allowing it to move freely as it always did.
"What are you?" Riku rolled his torso over to see Sora already transformed into the orange tabby his body had the power to turn into. The small kitten had wide blue eyes as he used his tiny paws to trap Riku's tail against the mattress.
"Fluffy." Sora lowered his kitten torso and lifted his butt up in the air before he wriggled it and pounced on the silver tail.
"Sora, knock it off. And quit being a cat, it's weird when I'm still in human form." Riku rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"But it's fun!" Sora crawled up Riku's side and onto the silverette's chest as Riku moved to his back. Riku smiled as he picked up the frail cat, looked deep into the bright blue eyes, and with a large grin, he dropped Sora off of the bed, and onto the floor.
"Night!" Riku got situated in bed as Sora hissed.
"Riku!" Sora let out a growl. His kitten form was too small to get back on the lifted bed, so he transformed back into a human, hands on hips as he stood over Riku's body.
"What? Goddammit Sora!" Riku faced his brunette friend, then quickly moved to cover his eyes, forgetting that transforming from animal to human form leaves them naked.
"That's what you get for being so mean!"
"Yeah, like seeing your dick is punishment. Just put some clothes on and let me sleep." Riku begged as he went on his stomach and held his pillow over his head.
"But I'm bored." Sora frowned, sitting on the bed, still naked.
"Chase your own tail." Riku mumbled from under the pillow.
"You're the dog, not me." Sora huffed, knowing it would get Riku angry enough to wake up more.
"Hey! I'm part wolf, not dog. Wolves are much cooler." Riku fed into Sora's trap, sitting up with a stiff finger pointed at the innocent face before him.
"Wolves are part of the dog family. Face it Riku, you're a dog." Sora shrugged with a smirk.
"Take it back." Riku glared.
"Nope." Sora remained stubborn with a cruel smile.
"Take it back or this wolf will tear your little kitten body to shreds." Riku threatened.
"Riku, we're best friends, and we've been through way too much together. I know you wouldn't hurt me." Sora put a hand on Riku's cheek.
"Does sleep deprivation count as 'hurting me'? Cause if it does, then you're hurting me." Riku glared before he shook his head and laid back down.
"Hehe, you're silly Riku. I like you." Sora said quietly, hoping it sounded playful, not sure if he was willing to confess his crush on his best friend just then.
"I'd like you more if you let me sleep." Riku said bluntly.
"Fine, be that way." Sora huffed back, trying to sound more upset than he really was.
Riku didn't bother to respond, and within a few minutes he fell asleep, which was short lived when he felt his tail bumping against something. He knew whatever it was that was disturbing his sleep had to be a result of Sora, who he only let stay the night since they had gone a long while without hanging out since he insisted he was busy. With a shake of the head, Riku looked behind himself to see kitten Sora snuggled up to his silver and grey tail.
"Sora?" Riku poked the sleeping kitty softly. "Sora!" Riku repeated louder, but still the tiny cat didn't move. "Get away from my ass." Riku pushed the cat, who let out a low hiss in its sleep. Riku rolled his eyes before he gave up. Through the hole in his basketball shorts, he could feel Sora shifting positions to sleep on his tail, using it as a giant pillow.
Feeling as if he had no other choice, Riku transformed into a wolf, pulling his tail out from Sora and letting out a violent growl as he stood on the bed.
"Sorry!" Cat Sora gulped as he cowered in fear of the much larger animal before him.
Riku let out a harsh snarl before he curled up his wolf body into a ball to sleep, his black nose tucked into his silver legs.
Riku closed his eyes, confident he had made his point until he felt tiny paws gently crawling on his back. Riku snapped his head to glare at Sora and let out a deep growl, his teeth flashing to show how impatient he had become to get his sleep. He was ready to bark out when he felt Sora's paw swat his nose, not even bothering to use his claws which would have been pointless. Riku's demeanor shifted as he stared with shocked wide eyes at the brave kitten before him, who held up the paw, ready to hit him again.
The cat licked his paw a few times before he crawled over Riku's tummy and curled up in the pile of Riku's legs, warm in the silver fur as he used it as a bed. Riku watched and as Sora hid his face behind his orange tail, the wolf couldn't help but smile.
Riku slowly nudged his face close to Sora's body, trying not to disturb the sleeping kitty. When he finally got comfortable, Riku rested his face gently on Sora's small frame, surprised when a soft purring sound came from the fluffy cat.
Riku's eyes squinted at the cuteness before he pressed his cold nose deeper into Sora's fur. The cat rolled over on its back and held its paws over its chest, smiling at Riku, who smiled back.
"What are you doing?" Riku asked quietly. Sora didn't respond as he playfully hit Riku's nose with his paw, once again sheathing his claws. "Sora," Riku chuckled as Sora played with the small whiskers at the end of Riku's nose. "Stop, you'll make me sneeze on you." Riku pulled his head back, causing Sora to let out whimpers.
"But I want to play." Sora rolled on his back, swiftly from side to side to show his desperation.
"Can't you wait till morning?" Riku let his face plop onto his hind legs.
"I'll try." Sora stood up and crawled back towards Riku's tail, sending a shiver down Riku's spine as he knew not to trust that Sora would leave him be. He was right. He could feel Sora swatting his tail as it flailed up and down on its own, those small kitten claws unable to do any real damage as they pounced, slapped, and trapped Riku's tail playfully.
"Can't you try harder?" Riku mumbled before he felt teeth. "Ow!" Riku growled before he had had enough. He stood up, snarled at Sora, his fangs exposed as he growled. "Knock it off." He let out a low deep bark as Sora's blue eyes widened to their max. The cat trembled lightly before Riku knew he had crossed the line. "Sora, I, I'm sorry." Riku sat down, his front long legs holding up his broad stature.
"You don't have to be so scary you know." Sora let out an innocent sniffle as he cleaned his paw with his tongue.
"I didn't mean to be." Riku lowered his body to be laying down with his front legs extended before him.
"Are you mad at me?" Sora asked with a tilt of his curious fuzzy head.
"No. You?" Riku had to ask back.
"No. Just, stop growling at me. I don't like it when you're fuzzy yet scary." Sora began to clean his other paw.
"Fuzzy yet scary?" Riku asked back with a chuckle.
"It's deceiving to be cute and fuzzy, and so mean and scary at the same time!" Sora fought back.
"I'm sorry. I don't try to be mean. I'm just sleepy." Riku let out a loud yawn.
"I guess I'll let you sleep. I'd rather be bored than barked at." Sora returned to his human form, all save his ears and tail, the two things neither he nor Riku could summon away.
"Sora," Riku frowned, guilt filling up inside him. He let out soft cries, like a sad puppy, wanting company.
"Oh no you don't!" Sora saw past Riku. "It's too late to act all cute and helpless." Sora cuddled himself into the blankets, covering his naked body as Riku stayed in wolf form, licking Sora's face without mercy as Sora giggled and wriggling. "Haha! Riku! Riku no, stop! So slobbery!" Sora laughed wildly as Riku continued to run his long harsh tongue up and down the brunette's crème skin.
Riku nudged his nose playfully into Sora's chest and neck, teasing the brunette with a sense of cuddling that Sora could only wish were sincere.
"Hey Riku," Sora asked seriously as Riku's tongue scraped past his lip.
"Hm?" Riku asked, not even bothering to stop licking as Sora rubbed his snout with one hand and used the other t pet his luscious white fur on his back.
"If you're licking my lip, does that mean we're making out?" Sora asked with a blush as Riku paused all movement. Within the blink of an eye he morphed back into his human form, gulping as his naked body hovered over Sora's, which was decently covered by the blanket.
"I, uh," Riku looked to the side, trying to think of a way out.
"It's ok Riku." Sora let out a reassuring chuckle. "I like you," Sora ran his palms up Riku's smooth biceps, down his pale back, and rested them back on his shoulders.
"What?" Riku's eyes went wider than they already were. He didn't know how things managed to go where they had so quickly, but he was struggling to keep up.
"You're my puppy now." Sora smirked before he slid his tongue against Riku's lips. The older teen shivered before he smirked.
"We shall see about that." Riku demanded dominance of the kiss as he roughly shoved his tongue into Sora's mouth. He had never thought of doing such a thing with Human Sora. Truth be told, he had grown very fond of cat Sora due to the inexplicable cuteness that the orange cat possessed, but in human form, it just felt so weird having such feelings for his best friend. But now, now that he knew Sora was ok with it, he figured it was worth trying. And the taste of the brunette's warm moist cavern beckoned him all the more.
"Riku?" Sora whimpered, his nose hidden securely in Riku's neck as Riku began to tuck himself under the blankets with Sora.
"What is it?" Riku asked, turning around to fix the blankets on top of his back, and when he turned back, he saw a shivering orange cat on its back.
"I'm nervous." Sora held his little paws up before he pawed his own nose in embarrassment.
"So you turned into a cat as I was about to make out with you?" Riku didn't understand.
"I couldn't help it." Sora lifted his hind leg paws up and played with those using his front paws.
"Stop being so cute! I feel like a creeper in love with a cat, not a boy who can turn into a cat." Riku muttered.
"Aww, you think I'm cute!" Sora blushed, using his cat-like charm to draw Riku closer to him.
"Ok, fine, you asked for it." Riku transformed into wolf form and started rubbing his nose into Sora's belly.
"Hehehe!" Sora giggled, rubbing his paws along Riku's fur.
"Such a cute kitty." Riku whispered before he licked Sora's entire body.
"Ow! Riku!" Sora grimaced at the harsh texture of Riku's wolf tongue.
"Sorry, I just wanted a taste." Riku said innocently before he used his giant tongue to lick up Sora's frail body in one clean swipe.
"Gentle, gentle!" Sora begged as Riku bathed him.
"Almost done with your bath." Riku chuckled, ending as Sora playfully swatted his snout.
"Riku! That's, no! Not there!" Sora whined and wriggled his fluffy body as Riku licked his belly and then down further.
"I wonder if we could have sex like this?" Riku thought aloud as Sora whipped himself on all fours.
"No. There's no way your wolf dick is going in my kitty!" Sora's tail puffed up as he hissed.
"You mean up your pussy?" Riku laughed at the irony as Sora let out a grumpy growl.
"Riku! I'm serious. It won't fit and I don't want to even think about trying." Sora sat on his butt, backing up as Riku smirked with his fangs showing.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
"Riku." Sora raised a paw, ready to hit.
"Sora, it's ok. I'm not going to try to have sex with you." Riku chuckled.
"But," Sora then turned back into a human. "What about now?" He asked curiously. Riku looked at Sora's exposed body before he smiled.
"You want to have sex with me as a human while I'm a wolf?"
"Riku you know what I meant!" Sora fisted his hands impatiently.
"Fine, no need to be so grumpy." Riku said before he converted back into his human body.
"You're calling me grumpy? You practically attacked me earlier!" Sora reminded Riku with an innocent pout.
"Aww, don't give me those cute round eyes." Riku stuck out his lower lip, loving how Sora sniffled for dramatic effect. "You're so cute Sora."
"You better be gentle or I'll hit you, I mean it!" Sora threatened as Riku chuckled.
"I'll be careful." Riku put a hand on Sora's neck, holding it steady in place as he began to kiss his best friend. "Sora?" He asked, interrupting the kiss.
"What?" Sora asked curiously.
"You want this, right? You want to mate with me?" Riku used his animalistic wording to express his carnal cravings for the tender body in his arms.
"I, I want to make love with you." Sora rubbed his shoulder shyly.
"Why?" Riku wanted to hear Sora's thoughts.
"Cause I like you. I always have. You're strong and smart, and you make me laugh." Sora smiled.
"I like you too Sora." Riku nipped at Sora's neck.
"Watch the fangs," Sora gasped as Riku's sharp teeth grazed his skin a bit too rough for his liking.
"Sorry," Riku muttered before he moved his lips to Sora's, making our feverishly as Sora tried to keep up.
"M! Emph," Sora grunted into the intense kiss, trying to pace his breathing before he felt more teeth. "Ku!" Sora groaned into Riku's mouth, trying to warn him once more about those pesky fangs that Riku didn't seem to realize he had. Riku ignored Sora's uncomfortable wriggling as he continued to force his mouth into Sora's. "Mph! M!" Sora screeched as he felt fangs on his tongue. The brunette whimpered loudly just before Riku's canine's bit down on his tongue. "Aaahoowww!" Sora let out a cry before water rushed to his eyes and the crimson taste of copper filled his mouth.
"Sora?" Riku asked gently, pulling back as he realized what he had accidentally done.
Sora lifted a trembling hand to his lips, and when he pulled it back to see the blood, he shivered.
"Sora," Riku was ready to spill out his apologies when the boy before him turned into a cat and dashed away. "Sora!" Riku shouted before he too transformed into his animal form. He used his wolf sense to sniff out the cat and its blood, his snout to the floor as he followed his trace downstairs and into the kitchen.
"Here kitty kitty," Riku followed the scent until it lead to a dead end on the kitchen counter. He looked up and saw the small cat siting up, ready to make a run for it. Riku let out a bark as Sora hissed loudly.
"Sora, get down." Riku went on his hind paws to try to reach, but the counter was still too high up for him. Sora looked down at him with a paw up and ready to hit.
"No!" Sora said back like a small child.
"Sora," Riku rolled his eyes before he turned into a human and stood up tall. Sora warned Riku with a hiss and his claws flashing. Riku extended an arm, pulling it back swiftly when he felt Sora scratch him. Long marks were left on his arm before he realized just how badly he must have hurt his best friend.
"I'm sorry Sora." Riku said sincerely before he extended both arms and lifted the cat off of the shelf. Sora frantically meowed, but it didn't stop the silverrete from cuddling the orange tabby to his bare chest. "Shh, there there kitty, it's ok. I won't hurt you again, I promise." Riku held the cat much like it were a baby and cradled it gently. Sora, his back against Riku's arms with his fluffy tummy exposed, couldn't hold back the purr that took a hold of him.
Riku giggled as he continued to stroke the cat's belly. "Good baby." Riku whispered, lifted the cat to his lips, and kissed its soft head.
"Such a cute kitty." Riku smiled before Sora got grumpy.
"Put me down! I'm not a baby you know!" Sora glared angrily, which only made Riku laugh, seeing the seriousness in the cats eyes in contrast with its adorable and cuddly body.
"But you're so cute." Riku chuckled before Sora wriggled himself free and took off. "Sora!" Riku leapt into wolf mode and chased the cat, who used the pet door to go into the backyard in a frantic yet playful escape.
"Sora no!" Riku shouted as he jumped through the pet door, barely able to fit his large body through. When he exited through the door, he froze on all four paws to see Sora's fur pointed in all directions, his legs stretched up as he hissed angrily.
Riku made it clear to Sora many times that he couldn't go outside in his backyard while in cat form because of all the dangerous wild animals that were in his neighborhood. And of course, a wild coyote had made its way over Riku's fence and was eying the orange tabby with hungry eyes.
Sora hissed in defense, but he knew he was no match. Instead, Riku ran in front of Sora and started barking wildly, his body backing up slowly as he pushed Sora back towards the door. He snarled and flashed his fangs, proving that he wouldn't back down. The coyote howled before he ran away, causing Riku to turn back to the frightened kitten.
"Didn't I tell you NOT to go outside?" Riku asked before he picked the kitten up in his mouth and carried his prize back inside the house. Sora hung from Riku's wolf mouth grumpily, not at all satisfied with the act of being transported in such a humiliating manor, and he could only be thankful that Riku's parents were out for the night so that no one could witness his defeat.
"I panicked when I heard you chasing after me. You're not the most graceful of wolves you know." Sora huffed.
Riku escorted his friend back to his bedroom, jumped on his bed, got cozy, and then released his gentle grip that his teeth had to support the cat without biting down. Sora fell before Riku's body, quickly sitting up to clean his fur which had been tainted by Riku's mouth.
"Why didn't you turn back into your human form?" Riku asked as kitten Sora shrugged.
"Like I said, I panicked. Besides, that was a big coyote. Even as a human he probably would have still wanted to eat me." Sora shivered before he licked his tummy clean.
"Here, allow me," Riku used his powerful tongue to clean up Sora's belly, up his furry neck, and even his fuzzy cheek in one lick.
"Riku!" Sora shook his body rapidly to get rid of the saliva.
"What?" Riku took offense.
"I'm cleaning myself from YOU." Sora huffed before he started his self bath all over again.
Riku couldn't explain why, but a growl escaped his lips before he barked.
"What?" Sora asked, mid lick to clean his back.
Riku barked again, and again, wildly before he stood up and crouched down.
"You, you look like you want to eat me," Sora gulped.
Riku barked again before he growled, nudging his strong face into Sora's small body and knocked him over.
"Riku!" Sora clearly didn't appreciate how Riku took advantage of his larger size.
Riku licked Sora's stomach repeatedly before Sora started to giggle, realizing that Riku was only playing the way that his wolf mentality saw fit.
"You're so cute," Sora laughed, pawing at the air as he admired how Riku licked and growled, occasionally pouncing on his bed, showing his masculinity in his wolf form, the animal inside him.
"Riku?" Sora asked quietly before Riku began to bark again. The silverrete couldn't bring himself to say it in words, but he was confessing his love. Instead, he scared the brunette, who changed back into a human, lying on his back with his hands to his face.
Riku made whimpering cry sounds before he cuddled his fur next to Sora's naked body, providing a comforting warmth as Sora snuggled up to the wolf.
"I love you Riku," Sora pet the silver fur soothingly before Riku transformed back into a human and pulled Sora onto his chest as he laid on his back, their bare skin coming into contact so suddenly.
"I love you too." Riku whispered before he kissed Sora's lips gently. "Are you still bleeding?" he asked before Sora shook his head.
"No, it stopped." The brunette answered timidly.
"Good, now, let's play." Riku smirked. His sleep deprivation had reached the point where he felt like he had enough fake energy to stay awake long enough to satisfy Sora, and himself.
Instead, the brunette giggled, turned back into a kitten, and yawned. "Not now Riku. Kittens need eighteen hours of sleep a day." He stretched his little paws before he curled up into a ball.
"You can't be serious." Riku stared with wide, confused, and frustrated eyes.
"Shh, night Riku." Sora began to fall asleep as Riku rolled his eyes. He turned back into a wolf, curled his body right up against Sora's to keep him warm, and closed his eyes.
