Chapter 7: Freetime

Fox was having another dream. He was sleeping next to Wolf, drooling on his shoulder with his mouth open.

'Wolf...what's gonna happen?' 'Am i...gonna die...? I don't w-want t-to ever, leave you W-wolf...'
'Y-You're gonna be okay Fox don't worry' Fox was bleeding to death, he was shot in the chest by a gang member hired by Andross.
'Wolf don't- leave, me...' 'I'm always here for you Fox...' 'I'm...I'm...' Fox passed out.

Fox was kicking his legs on the bed, his arms we're shaking and his whole body was shivering. He was yelping in his sleep.
Suddenly Fox kicked Wolf in the leg and Wolf woke up. Wolf saw Fox and how he was doing and he tried to wake him up.
"Fox, wake up! It's another nightmare." Fox woke up upon hearing Wolf.

"W-Wolf am i dead...?" Fox asked. "No Silly. You're alive." Wolf replied. Fox began to shake even more. Wolf was very sleepy it was merely 1 A.M. Wolf sat next to Fox and holded him. He saw sitting with Fox covering him in the bed sheets.
Trying to comfort the traumatized Fox. Fox lowered his head and buried it in Wolf's chest. Wolf put his hands on his back and started to caress and stroke Fox. Fox headed back to sleep and slept on top of Wolf's chest.


The alarm rang. It was finally 8 A.M. Wolf woke up first and headed to the bathroom. He began to wash his teeth. He did his bathroom needs and headed to wake up Fox. Fox awoke due to Wolf's shaking. He greeted Wolf. He went to the bathroom and also did his needs. Krystal was asleep. Fox decided to make the breakfast this time. Wolf went to grab clothes from his drawer and went to Fox's room to grab his clothing too. Today was a day off from college. They wanted to spend the day to have fun.

Wolf turned on the living room television and began watching cartoons. Fox decided to watch it from the kitchen. Fox was preparing a bacon sandwich for the trio. After Fox was done, he ate with Wolf. They we're both in the living room watching TV.
After a few minutes, Krystal woke up because of the smell.

"Good morning guys..." Krystal said.

"Morning Krystal!" "Morning Krystal." They both said.

Krystal sat down on the table alone. Wolf received a phone call and he decided to answer it. Fox was alone at the couch.
He saw Krystal alone so he decided to accompany Krystal.

"Hi Krystal." Fox smiled. "Hi Fox, how are you buddy?" Krystal replied. "I'm okay, how was your sleep?"
"It was good." They both had a little chat until Wolf arrived and said. "Fox i'm sorry i can't go to the park with you...But i'll get there really late." Wolf said upset. "Why?!" Fox said dropping his ears.

"The SUV needs to be checked on, i gotta be out of town for a bit. And i have to go alone. Sorry. " Wolf replied.

"Okay..." Fox got upset too. "Krystal, can you come here for a bit?" Wolf asked Krystal to talk to him.

"What is it Wolf?" Krystal asked. "Do you mind, taking Fox to the park with you?" Wolf replied asked.

"Of course, anything for you Wolf! And Fox." Krystal said. "Thank you Krystal. Take care of him." Wolf hugged Krystal and trusted her on her mission.

"Fox, do you mind going with Krystal to the park?" Wolf asked Fox. "Yes!" Fox wagged his tail he could go to the park.

Fox headed to his bedroom and got ready, Wolf followed up since he had to leave. They both changed into their clothes together, Wolf and Fox always liked this concept. Especially Fox. He didn't want Wolf to leave him ever, not even for a minute, but when he leaves Fox, Fox feels really odd, awkward, and weird sometimes.

"Bye Fox, Krystal, I'll be back later." Wolf said leaving the apartment.

"Bye Wolfie" "Cya Wolf" They said.

Fox was ready, he was waiting for Krystal to get set. Krystal grabbed a basket and a carpet, packed some stuff for the trip.
After Krystal was done they closed the apartment door and headed outside their door to see Falco and Slippy waiting for us. They knew we we're going to plan something with them. We always do.

"Hey Fox, Krystal! Good morning to you two." Slippy said.

"Yeah Morning guys." Fox replied.

"So we're are you guys going?" Falco asked.

"We're going to the park, are you coming with us?" Fox replied.

"Do you want us to?" Falco said.

"Surely we do." Krystal said.


The trio went together downstairs, they left the building and headed towards the park. It was a few streets away.
They arrived to the park. Fox sat down on the highest hill possible. Krystal followed up to Fox.

Falco decided to stay down with Slippy. Falco had a phone call and it was from his best friend Katt.
Katt said she wanted to join Falco, Falco agreed and said 'yes'.

Krystal got a text message from Wolf saying "How is Fox doing?" Krystal replied to it. Wolf sent another message 5 minutes later. "What about now?" Wolf was very self-conscious and kept asking Krystal every 5 minutes how Fox was doing.
Krystal told him to not worry.

Fox was sitting under a tree in the hill. He kept looking at the sky. "Hey Fox, are you enjoying your stay?" Krystal asked.
"Of course i am" Fox said. Krystal sat next to Fox. Fox's neck was hurting a little bit. He felt afraid to tell Krystal about it. But Krystal had already noticed. "Fox, do you want to rest your neck in my shoulder?"
Fox nodded and did it so. They both laid down and looked at the clouds. Krystal pointed one out and say "Hey that one looks like a coffee mug." Fox pointed out a cloud and said "Hey those looks like a pair of sunglasses"
Krystal giggled and stroked Fox's head. Fox started to wiggled his tail around. He cuddled with Krystal over the time. After a few minutes Katt had arrived. Falco stood up and greeted Katt. They both kissed each other on the cheek.

Falco waved at Krystal and Fox. They both saw Falco.

"Hey guys Katt is here!" Falco yelled from the distance.

"We're coming." Krystal replied.

Fox and Krystal stood up and headed to Falco.

"Hey guys, it's nice to meet you." Katt said. She was was a female Kitten who was really close with Falco.

"Hi there Katt." Fox said.

"So these are your friends Falco?" Katt asked.

"Yeah, my best friends." Falco replied.

"So how old are you Katt?" Slippy asked smirking.

"Slippy!" Falco exclaimed in an angry tone.

"What? I'm curious!" Slippy said while the group laughed.

"I'm 18 dear. Don't worry i don't bite." Katt replied.

The squad a little chat after Katt arrived to hang out with them. Fox got a little awkward and headed back to the hill.
Krystal had to follow him up, she couldn't leave him off her sight. It was 5 P.M.

It was starting to dusk. Fox laid down on Krystal again. Krystal was never bothered by Fox's actions. She understood him and his reasons. He seemed to miss Wolf a little. Fox started to feel drowsy. "Fox, sleepy already?" Krystal asked.
"No i j-just don't know but i don't feel sleepy at all." Fox replied. "You can sleep if you want, it won't annoy me i promise." "No it's fine Krystal." He said while getting up. He got up and said "I just, need some alone time." He headed and turned around to sit behind the tree. Krystal didn't know what happened to Fox. Maybe it was he needed Wolf. Krystal got up and sat next to Fox. "Fox, what's wrong, please tell me?" She asked putting her hand on his shoulder.

"I just. I don't know. I just feel like Wolf is the only person that cares about me. I'm pretty sure Falco and Katt are gonna get married and move out. Slippy probably has a girlfriend and hasn't told us. I don't know..."

Krystal was shocked at hearing this. "Fox, we've only known each other for like what a week or two? But i want to let you know that i care about you buddy. " Fox raised his ears up and got happy hearing these words coming out of Krystals mouth.
Fox felt happy. He was starting to fall in love with Krystal AND Wolf, but he still preferred Wolf over Krystal.
Fox went to hug Krystal. He was now starting to feel sleepy. He sat next to Krystal and rested his neck on her shoulder.
Krystal felt a little hungry. She grabbed the basket and pulled out some dessert cupcakes. She gave one to Fox too.
Fox felt slightly hungry but he ate it with her. They we're both looking at Falco and Katt. Once they we're glancing and peeking at them, Falco and Katt kissed. It was the mark of their first date.

"Aren't they cute?" Krystal said. "Yeah..." Fox blushed a little bit.

They both resumed to their own business. Wolf sent a text saying, "I'm coming to pick you guys up alright?"
Krystal told Fox they we're going home in a few. Fox didn't respond. He fell asleep. Krystal decided to lay down with Fox until Wolf arrives. Falco, Slippy passed by to check on them. "Shh...don't wake him up" Krystal whispered.
Slippy said "Awwww...adorable." Krystal blushed. Falco and Katt both smiled at them both.
"Krystal, are you gonna stay with Fox 'till later...?" Falco asked her. Krystal responded and said "Yeah."
"You're not coming with us and Fox to the plaza right?" Falco replied.
"I can't, sorry Falco another time." Krystal said.
"Aw it's alright Krystal, the three of us will leave, are you okay with this i mean, we can stay longer if you want" Falco said.
"No it's fine, you guys can go have fun, i'm not gonna hold you back."
"Alright Krystal, have fun with Fox." Falco teased her and winked. Krystal got a little mad at that but she blushed at the same time.

Eventually after a few minutes Krystal saw a figure walking by. It was Wolf. He came running at Krystal.

"Krystal, hey are you okay?" Wolf asked Krystal. "Yeah we're fine, why so worried?" Krystal asked.

"Oh nothing...did he fall asleep on you?"

"Yeah but don't worry Wolf." Krystal replied.

Wolf felt a little shy around Krystal. He liked her a little bit. The trio have mixed feelings for each other but none of them want to confess.

"T-thank you Krystal for taking care of Fox." Wolf hugged her and she hugged him back. "Let's go back home."

Wolf grabbed Fox and carried him like a little baby back to the SUV. The SUV's motor was checked on and repaired for issues.
Wolf drove back home and took Fox to his bed instantly. He wanted him to feel comfortable. Krystal was a little bit tired too and she headed straight for her bedroom to write on her diary. Wolf prepared himself some cereal since he didn't eat ever since he left. After he was done he went straight to bed. Fox was sleeping sucking his thumb a little and snoring.
Wolf smiled and drifted off to sleep.
