Hello! ^.^

Another chapter coming right up! :3

"Munk… Are you sure you're not sick? Because you're behaving oddly. Very much so." Tugger asked me lowly, trying not to draw any attention to us and I hesitated. It had been three weeks since the kitchen incident and I was going crazy, because whatever it was that Mungojerrie was doing stopped after that day. I knew I should've been relieved, but I was frustrated. Because I wanted more. And Tugger could be rather indiscreet about himself, but I knew my brother and, while I'd be teased for this for the rest of my life, he wouldn't tell anyone about what Jerrie has been doing and might even have some advice to give me. So, making up my mind, I tugged his paw and pulled him away from the crowd who was avidly listening to Deuteronomy's warnings about the on coming storms, and the best places to find shelter if there was a flood.

"Please, promise me you will not tell anyone about this." I asked making sure the orange stripped thief was still next to his sister among their usual group of friends.

"You know I won't, Munk." He said with a worried look and I felt my tail twitching nervously.

"Something's been happening for a while and at first I thought I was imagining things but they were becoming worse and then it simply stopped and I don't know what to do."

"Alright. This about the weird way you've been behaving for the past few weeks, right?"

"Yes." I looked around again, making sure no one was paying attention to us before continuing, in an even lower voice. "Mungojerrie has been doing… things to me."

"Things?"

"Yes."

"Alright, Munk, you'll have to give me a little more than that."

"It's just… He touches me and presses against me in naughty ways!" He blinked twice.

"T-that's it?"

"He… I thought he was playing a prank on me or something, but no one seems to know! He would only do these things when no one is paying attention to get me all worked up and I have no idea what to do!" I continued feeling my cheeks burning and looked around again, making sure everyone's attention was still on Deuteronomy.

"Alright… What exactly are these things you keep talking about?" He asked, stealing a glance towards Mungojerrie before looking back to me and I gulped, lowering my voice even further.

"At first he would touch my waist or my arm for a bit too long and I thought I was imagining things, but…"

"But…"

"He started to press up against me, or curl his tail really far up on my thigh, and there was a couple of times he actually squeezed my bum!" He opened his mouth a couple of times and coughed a bit.

"Did he do anything else?"

"Yes. Much more!"

"Okay, what else did he do?" I bit my lip and pawed my ear. "Come on, Munk I can't help you if you don't tell me…"

"Huh… Okay. He just started to get… naughtier these last few weeks… Then, before the Ball started, when I went to look for the masks that were missing he… he kissed me! Then there was the day Jemima and Etcetera wanted to go to that party, after you left he came up to me saying there were things I could do to him that would make him happy and asked what my favorite food was and kissed my nose…"

"Hum… I wondered why there was so much salmon on the party…" Tugger commented and I glared at him. "Sorry, did he do anything else?"

"…Yes."

"Okay… What?"

"Hum… I ended up babysitting the kits for Jenny that day. Cassandra wasn't feeling well and I ended up telling Jenny that she should take a nap at Skimble's den…"

"Munk, just go straight to the point."

"Right, sorry. All of the kits were with Jenny that night and Jerrie offered to help me take care of them and Jenny accepted. Everything was fine until the kits went to sleep. I was making tea and he trapped me against the counter and…"

"And…?"

"He kissed me again and rubbed up against me and… Then he got down on his knees and…"

"Oh… OH!" His eyes were widened and he looked over Mungojerrie again before turning back to me. "He gave you a blowjob?"

"Tugger!" I covered his mouth with my paws, but he batted them off.

"Why are you bashful about all this? It's perfectly natural, you know? Why are you acting like you've never… OH! Bast, you've never mated before!"

"SHUT UP TUGGER!" I could feel all eyes on us and my whole face burning in embarrassment, while my brother had a paw over his mouth to try, and fail, to contain his laughter. "I'm… So sorry, father. Please continue." I smiled awkwardly, flicking Tugger's ear.

"Is everything alright, son?" Deuteronomy asked with an inquisitive look on his face and I nodded, stiffly.

"Yes. Everything's just perfect!" My voice went up an octave and I coughed a bit before smiling. "Go on." He frowned curiously at me, but continued his speech calling everyone's attention back to him, though a few eyes lingered on me for a bit longer before going back to the older Jellicle.

"So… You really never mated before?" He asked once all eyes had turned away from us.

"I don't understand what that has to do with anything."

"Everyone thought you and Demeter…"

"She's my friend!"

"Really? So you two never…?"

"No, Tugger." I sighed looking at my feet. This might have been a mistake.

"Hey, Munk. It's okay, you know. There's nothing wrong with that…" He nudged my shoulder lightly and I huffed. "Back to your hum… problem. There's one thing I don't quite get."

"If there's just one you're better than I am." He nudged me again and I sighed. "Alright, what is it?"

"Jerrie is a strong tom, yes, but you're taller and much stronger than he is, not to mention a better fighter than he could ever dream to be. If everything he's was doing was so unpleasant to you, why didn't you just… Stop him?" He looked at me curiously, but I couldn't meet his eye. "Munk…?"

"Because it wasn't… Unpleasant. I… Actually liked it." My voice was so low I barely heard it.

"If you liked it, then what's the matter? Just enjoy it…" He smirked and I glared at him, my ears falling back on my head.

"It is wrong, Tugger!" I hissed and he looked at me surprised.

"What is?"

"Everything he's doing! Was doing! What I'm feeling! I shouldn't be feeling like this! It's wrong!" I whimpered, hiding my face, embarrassed.

"Oh. I see what's the problem here." He said in a soft voice and he nuzzled my shoulder until I looked at him. "It's not wrong for you to feel attracted to a tom, Munk. It's perfectly natural, actually." I frowned at him and he looked over to the crowd before pulling me even further away from them. "Look, you don't know this and, actually not many cats do, but I sleep with almost as many toms as I do with queens." I widened my eyes, not knowing what to do with that information.

"But… If it's not wrong, how come I've never seen anyone…?"

"It's… Just a bit unusual. But, Everlasting, there's nothing wrong with you liking another tom, Munk." He squeezed my shoulder affectionately and gave me a supportive smile.

"What about the others? What would they think?"

"Look, I've been where you are right now once and do you know who had this talk with me? Jenny and Skimble. So, you see, no one is going to judge you Munk, because there's nothing to judge really." He chuckled good naturedly and gave me time to process everything he had told me.

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you?"

"Yes."

"Not about this. You know I wouldn't."

"What do you think I should do, then?" I asked quietly after a while.

"About what?"

"About Mungojerrie? After the… thing in the kitchen he never approached me again."

"Well…" He chuckled, pulling his arm from my shoulders and moving to stand in front of me. "Approach him instead. He made all the moves until now. I believe that's his way to say it's your turn." He smirked wickedly before ushering me back to the reunion site, where I stood stealing glances at Mungojerrie for the rest of the gathering.

Just one more chapter to go! :D
