Chapter 55 - To See One's Magnificent Fur

The duo got home, walking in, the space of silence between them, once again. Louis couldn't believe that Legosi had bought such an item.

The wolf looked at Louis' bag. "Okay, so, uh, where do we put...put the...um...where do we keep this stuff?"

Louis shrugged. "I guess in the closet."

The wolf sat on the bed, covering his face. "Okay. Can you do it? I'm still recovering from...all of that."

"Alright." He took the bag and then tossed it into the closet, despising the items inside.

Legosi tensed up at his actions. "Are you alright?"

The deer looked back. "I think so."

The canine fidgeted. "Um, okay. Just let me know if you want to talk about something."

He sighed. "If you really think you need to use something like that to help, go ahead."

Legosi cocked his head, ear flicking. "Huh?"

"It's fine. Just make sure you let me know so I can leave the room."

"Wh-what are you talking about?"

"Well, you have to prepare don't you?"

Legosi was completely lost and it showed on his face.

"What the lizard talked about."

The wolf's brain finally clicked. "O-oh! Uh, I only thought we should get it because he knew what he was talking about. I...really don't feel comfortable about it, though. I want you to, um..." He moved around on the bed, looking around the room in embarrassment. "...I think you should be the one to...help..."

"Help...?"

"...to...get me ready when...when we decide to."

He curled his legs up against his chest, resting his chin on his knees.

The deer came over. "Don't worry. It will be fine."

The wolf smiled slightly. "...Uh, when would the muzzle go on?"

"Definitely before we do anything major."

Legosi nodded. "...So...should we plan this or just wait for the mood?"

"We should wait. But I guess we have to prepare you slowly? Not really sure what he meant." He sighed. "I really hope this works out. It seems so...complicated and hard."

"Again, we don't have to."

Legosi looked Louis in the eye. "I...want to. Really. I want you." His ears drew back at such a passionate statement. He covered his face again.

Louis put a hand on his knee and just gave him an affectionate smile.

The wolf poked his head out and pecked the deer on the nose. "Guess we should make dinner. Well...you make dinner. But like always, I can help if you need it."

"I'm just throwing noodles into a pot, how hard can it be? You can throw the noodles onto the cabinet to see in they stick, though."

"Weren't you making the sauce, too?"

"Oh yeah, of course." He got up and began making the food.

Legosi went over to the kitchen area and got the tomatoes out of the fridge. His deer instructed him to mash them in a bowl. It was oddly satisfying.

"I don't know why I was so quiet at that store," Louis said. "It was strange."

"It was definitely awkward. I kind of thought everything in there would be discreet, but that shopkeeper was...very up front."

"He's one of the better shopkeepers we've met. Besides Himiko."

Legosi chuckled. "At least you didn't give him your phone number." He looked down at his mashed tomatoes. "Meeting animals like him makes me feel better about...us. Like, how we fit into the world. Even if it was awkward."

"We really shouldn't have to hide, but we do."

The wolf nodded. "I just thought about it, but I've never seen a couple like...us on television or in public. It just feels isolating. But...I would never want to trade this relationship in for any other."

"Even if it would be easier?"

He nodded again. "Because it wouldn't be you." Legosi thought of his grandfather again. He had gotten his number from Jack, but was still working up the courage to call.

He took the tomato puree and poured it into the pot on the stove.

"Do you think you could ever get over it?"

Legosi looked over at Louis, jaw pushed out in confusion.

"If something were to happen or we..."

The wolf placed his hands on his boyfriend's shoulders, rubbing softly. "You're the only animal I've ever fallen in love with. I think...that might stay true my entire life." He knew it sounded silly, but he also felt it was true.

"It sure seems that way." It's because he considers me his prey, I'm sure. To a carnivore, losing their prey is...But he would never.

Legosi looked through their spices. "What else should go in the sauce?"

"Not sure. The recipe is on my phone if you want to check."

"Okay." He grabbed Louis' phone and handed it to him. "Can you unlock it?"

He did so. "It should already be open."

The wolf followed the recipe as close as he could. Some of the ingredients he accidentally added more than the called for amount, but he figured it could only make the sauce better.

Louis smiled softly. "My assistant chef."

Legosi looked over and smiled. "I hope none of my fur got in. Maybe we should buy fur nets."

"Oh yeah."

"I don't mind it if it's your fur, though." The wolf leaned over and licked his ear.

"Oh?"

"Mhm." More licks.

"I don't know I feel about eating my own fur."

"We should get fur nets, then. And gloves."

"We'll just get full kitchen armor."

Legosi laughed softly. The one that sounded like "tahaha". Louis loved that one.

The deer smiled. "Are you hungry?"

"Always."

"I've noticed. I'm...hungry too."

Legosi's tail waved behind them, brushing Louis' rear on each pass.

The young buck looked to the noodles, blushing lightly. "You can toss them at the cabinets now."

"Hm? Why?"

"If they stick, they're ready."

"Huh." The wolf took some of the noodles and tossed them gently onto the wall. They slapped against it and fell onto the floor.

Louis frowned. "Well."

"Guess they need more time." Legosi bent down and picked up the noodle, placing it in his mouth.

"Don't eat off the ground!"

He looked up at the deer. "Why not? It'd go to waste otherwise."

"Because I haven't cleaned in a while."

The wolf didn't want to tell him that he's eaten off of worse. "Well, I'll be okay."

"Fine. I'll cook the noodles more."

Legosi got up and went back to his sauce. He loved being able to cook alongside his favorite animal. He moved his hips over, gently bumping Louis.

The deer gasped gently. "Hey!" He bumped back, barely moving his boyfriend due to his size. "I'm hoping this tastes good."

"Of course it will!" He licked his lips for emphasis.

They waited a while longer. "Okay, now try it." Louis motioned to the noodles.

Legosi, feeling a bit silly, threw it up to the ceiling. It stuck. "Aha! Look!"

"Legosi!" Louis snapped, looking up at the crime.

"It stuck!" He wore a goofy grin on his gentle face.

"Yeah, now we have to get it down!"

The large wolf reached up with ease, peeling the piece of pasta off the ceiling and slurping it up with his mouth.

"Legosi!"

He just stared at Louis, his expression pure. The deer shoved him gently.

Legosi went back to check on the sauce, simmering on the stove. He stirred it. "So the spaghetti is ready. I wonder how we know the sauce is ready." He took a spoon and scooped some up, sniffing it.

"How is it?"

The wolf took a lick. He smacked his lips a bit. "A little salty." His ears drooped down.

"Don't be discouraged. It was your first try."

"Maybe...I could add more tomato." He opened the fridge before quickly closing it again. "I used them all." His stomach could be heard growling.

"All of them?"

"I didn't get too many." The wolf looked down at the sauce, disappointedly. "I guess it'll be okay. Plus it'll taste better with the pasta."

"Very true. Are they both ready?"

"I guess so. I'm hungry, so I hope so."

Louis grabbed the sauce his boyfriend had made and started pouring it over the noodles, evenly.

Legosi licked his lips again. "Do we have any cheese?" He started getting the dishes out.

"I think so. Check the fridge. No wait, I'll do it." He opened it. "Yep, we have cheese."

His mate looked around. "We should get a proper table, but I guess there's not enough room."

Louis did the same. "Yeah, always have to eat standing up or on the bed. Though, you said you were messy so we might want to stay in the kitchen."

"We could get stools for the counter. Might not work for me, though." Legosi eyed the meal hungrily.

"Oh?"

"If the stools are too high, my knees will just knock against the edge here." He clicked the edge of the counter with his claw.

"Oh, that's true. Then what's the point of getting stools?"

"To sit. But we can just sit after eating."

"Then why wouldn't we just go to the chairs?"

"Messy." Legosi got their drinks out.

"But you said after we're done eating."

The wolf held his hands to his head. "Aaugh! You're confusing me!"

Louis came over. "I'm sorry." This happened often, but he was more than used it.

Legosi kneaded his fingers into his head. He decided to just forget about it. "Anyway, let's try it."

"Try getting stools?"

"The food." The hungry canine put some spaghetti on his plate, and grabbed a fork. "Okay...is there a correct way to eat this? I just...stab it and twirl it, right?"

"You've never had it before?"

"Oh, no I have! I just, never can eat it without flicking sauce everywhere."

"Do I need to get a shield?"

Legosi looked at him very seriously. "...We'll see." He got some noodles on his fork, probably too much. He put the utensil in his mouth, slurping up the excess noodles. Sauce flicked onto the counter.

Louis jumped back. "You weren't kidding!"

The wolf went in for more. "Ish good!"

The deer wrapped some noodles in his fork, eating it much more diligently. "You went heavy on the spices."

"You think?" Legosi took another bite, this time being mindful to be more neat. "Do you not like it?"

"Uh...well, it's fine."

The wolf wilted a bit. He took another bite. He wondered if herbivores were more sensitive to that sort of thing.

"No."

"Hm?" Legosi looked up with his mouth full of noodles.

"I saw those ears droop." He twisted his fork and ate another bite.

"Well, I don't want something like that stopping you from eating..."

"It's not going to." He continued to eat. "I told you I'd try and get better."

The wolf smiled softly. He finished his plate fairly quickly, taking another and adding some cheese.

"How have I been doing, anyway?" the deer asked.

Legosi put his arm around him. "You've been doing really well, hon."

The deer huffed. "Thank goodness. I, um...I actually get hungry now."

The wolf nuzzled his cheek with his nose. "I think making the food probably helps. Maybe we should go to a restaurant sometime and see if you can eat that."

"What? Why wouldn't I be able to?"

"Maybe because you didn't make it? I don't know, I haven't seen you eat anything you haven't made. I guess that's just another thing I'm afraid of." Legosi looked back to his plate. "I know I shouldn't pry so much, though."

"That's because I make every meal we eat."

The wolf nodded. "It was a stupid thing to be afraid of. I'm sure you'd be able to eat food not made by yourself. I mean, I made the sauce..."

Louis laughed.

Legosi found himself thinking once again what his grandfather would think about his deer lover. Would he try to feed him if he brought him over? He shook his head. He hadn't spoken to him in years. Why all these thoughts so suddenly?

The stag looked up. "I think it's good. Next time, go lighter on the spices."

"Maybe I can make two sauces: one for me and one for you."

"No! I like sharing."

Legosi pouted. "But I like spices."

"I guess I'll just have to deal with it."

"No, I'll tone it down next time." The canine finished up his second plate. He patted his stomach.

"No, it's fine. Make it how you like it." He was only halfway done with his first.

"How do you feel?"

"What do you mean? I'm fine."

"Just asking. I want to know." Legosi took his plate to the sink and came back, sipping his drink.

"I feel good. I feel better. My stomach hurts a lot less lately."

The wolf sighed in relief. "That's good. Thank you for telling me."

The deer nodded. Finally, they were on the same page.

"That was good. Thanks for helping. You should help more," Louis said, looking to his boyfriend after they had finished cleaning up.

"I'd love to! I can look up some recipes, too!" Legosi sat down on the bed, freshly changed into his pajamas, his tail wagging over the covers and creating folds.

The deer came over and joined him, with a smile. He adjusted his eyepatch. "I'm sorry that we had to buy a muzzle. I can't stop thinking about it."

"It's alright. It's for our safety." Legosi smiled hollowly. "...So...are we going to...um..."

Louis' ears perked.

The wolf pushed the tips of his index fingers together, as he so often did when he was nervous. "...we went out and got the things so...when is it going to happen?"

"What?"

"Are we going to have sex tonight? Legosi was able to force out, clearly. He looked away afterward, clearing his throat. He put his hands on the bed, pulling at the covers.

"Oh. Do you...do you want to...?"

Legosi's heart was pounding, and the spaghetti in his stomach felt like it was going to come up. "Um, I'd like to wait a bit. Being at that store today made me more apprehensive, I think."

"Really...?"

The canine simply nodded. "I need more time to think about it. The reality of it just hit more when I was there."

"And if I had said I wanted to have sex right now?"

Legosi swallowed. "Do you?"

"Yes, let's take off our clothes and have sex right now." He joked, but wore a serious face.

"Um." The wolf reached down to take his shirt off.

Louis grabbed his hand quickly. "I'm kidding!"

Legosi looked down. "Oh. O-okay." He lowered his shirt and swung his feet onto the bed, laying on his back.

Louis sighed. "Are you going to...prepare?"

The wolf continued to pull at the blanket with his hands. "I...I don't know. I always just...liked the idea of it happening."

"I know, but he said it could hurt otherwise."

"Well, I don't want to do anything like that without you. And, I don't think you could hurt me too badly."

"I guess you are bigger than me..."

Legosi nodded. He didn't even want to think about what this would be like the other way around.

He hugged him "But really, if you're...nervous. You can use what you bought."

The canine bit his lip. "I think that makes me more nervous, actually. I didn't even want it."

"M-more?" Louis paused.

"Do you think I could...hurt you?"

Legosi shook his head. "Well, not really. Nothing I can't handle."

"I think you should...At least get used to the muzzle, right?"

The wolf stiffened a bit. "I...think you're right." He stood up slowly, making his way toward the closet where Louis threw his bag. He dug through it and took the muzzle out. He slipped it on. It really was easy to put on. Didn't leave any room to talk, though. It was sort of hard to breath in, but he didn't expect it to be easy.

He walked back over to the bed, sitting down on it and looking at the deer.

Louis looked back. "How is it?"

Legosi just shrugged. I don't like it at all, but if it's for you, I'll get used to it.

"It looks so strange." He raised his hand and felt along it.

"Mmf."

He couldn't really feel his boyfriend's cheek thanks to the device.

The wolf shook his head, feeling how that affected it. He tried opening his jaws. They could open slightly, but it hurt. "Mmmph...mm."

Louis had sadness in his eyes. It's to be safe.

Legosi reached back and unstrapped it, slipping it off and taking a few deep breaths once it was off. "Uh, we can keep it in here so we can get it in a hurry." He opened up the drawer of the nightstand and placed it inside.

"What? You're used to it already?"

"No. I'll wear it again later." The wolf got up again, fetching the other two items from the bag. He brought them over. "So...I'm not sure what we should do with this." He held the toy up. "It's kind of funny to look at."

"It is. Are you going to..."

Legosi shook his head, putting it aside. "I think we can...go ahead without it." He looked at the bottle of lubricant before twisting the cap off. He sniffed it. "Hm, doesn't smell like anything." He put a tiny bit on his fingers, rubbing it around between the pads on the tips.

Louis leaned in and sniffed. "Nope."

"Wow, this is really slick. I guess that's the point." Legosi was getting more comfortable just talking about it.

"Yeah..."

Louis reached over. "Let me see."

Legosi handed it to him.

The deer took it. "You already got the bottle slippery.."

"Oops."The wolf smiled. "I bet you didn't think we'd be doing this when we first became friends, huh?"

"And you did?" He felt the lubricant on his fingers, seeing how it slicked down the fur.

"No! Of course not! I was just joking."

Legosi had a thought. "Also...if I um...prepared...I think my claws would give me trouble."

"Wouldn't you use the toy, then?"

"Well, doesn't the lubricant have to go in? The toy's a bit too big to put it in right away..." He couldn't believe he was just talking about this like it was doing the laundry.

"Do you maybe want to read something on this? So you can figure it out?"

"Yeah, we could." Legosi got up, only to rest his head in his boyfriend's lap.

"Yeah. Did you have to do anything with Haru? She's pretty small, so it must have been tough."

"Uh...No, I didn't." Louis looked to the side.

The wolf moved so he was laying on his back, looking straight up at his lover, his cheek fur bunched up against his face by the deer's legs.

Louis smiled down at him. "The toy doesn't match my size, by the way." He blushed. "Uh..."

"We haven't even seen each other naked."

"I know… Even though I want to shower with you and all that, I'm...still nervous."

"Well...if we're going to start preparing tonight we could...show each other...each other..." He squirmed in Louis' lap.

"I...I don't know...My body isn't that great...I just...Uh..." Now he was really nervous.

"You can see me naked, if you want. If it makes you feel better."

"I...Okay...Are you...sure?"

Legosi grinned. "Well, you already saw the back."

He laid back and covered his face. "Shut it, wolf..."

The wolf got up, taking his shirt off. He turned to Louis, shirtless. "Uh, should I be standing or sitting? Or maybe laying down?"

The deer pushed his arm down on his face more. "Whatever you want."

Legosi took his pants off. Louis still had his face covered. He was imagining what he would see.

The canine tentatively took the boxers off thene sat back down on the bed, and reclined a bit. He looked down at himself wondering what Louis would think.

The stag still had his eye covered, muzzle sticking out.

"Um, I'm ready." Legosi spread his one leg out a bit. His heart was racing. Maybe he should have stood up?

Louis swallowed. "I...I'm just nervous."

"It's okay. I can get dressed again and do this another time."

"No!"

The wolf jumped a bit at the force of it. "Okay. Um, do you want me to stand up and like, turn around for you? I'm laying next to you right now."

Louis slowly uncovered his face and turned his head.

Legosi laid before him, his fur soft all over. The cream colored fur really did go all the way down.

The deer scanned his boyfriend, looking all over his body. "..."

The wolf looked away, scratching his cheek. There was a lot more fur right above his crotch. It looked unbelievably soft. His tail thumped beneath him.

"Words can't express how beautiful you are, Legosi."

Legosi's breath hitched, and he blushed. "...Thank you...Uh, you already saw the other side, so I guess that's it."

"I already feel less nervous," The deer mumbled. "Just seeing you."

"I'm glad." The wolf moved a bit, unsure of how to pose. What would look good?

Louis just stared.

"Do you...want to pet me?"

"Yes." He moved his hand over quickly and ran it along his chest fur. He had done this before, but this felt different.

Legosi smiled. He reached his hands out, gently holding the arm that was petting him.

This caused the deer's mouth to form a grin.

The wolf rolled on his side, allowing Louis to reach different places. He brought his legs up, not even thinking about how his boyfriend had a clear view of his rear now.

The deer glanced at it once again. "I think...I could get used to this, too."

"Even if we don't do anything, being open like this...is nice. I thought it would be scary but…," Legosi let out a laugh, "...it's you!"

"It's me!" Louis laughed. "It's normal!"

The wolf's laughs turned into deep belly ones as he closed his eyes. Of course there would be nothing to be afraid of. His tail whapped against his lover.

Louis smiled more. "The more I look the easier it is."

Legosi blushed even more. "Have you ever seen another guy naked?"

The deer shook his head. "Of course not! Have you?"

He smiled. "I lived with five other guys since middle school. Of course I have. I mean, it didn't mean anything of course..."

"Oh..."

The wolf rubbed his arms. "I've never seen a naked herbivore before, though." His thoughts shot back to the black market, but he immediately pushed those thoughts away. That definitely didn't count.

"O-oh..." Louis reached his other hand and pushed against Legosi's fur, clutching it and seeing the grey furls between his fingers.

The wolf rolled on his stomach, asking wordlessly for Louis to rub his back.

The deer got to rubbing his bare back, moving up and massaging his shoulders gently. The only thing he had taken off his shoes.

"Mmm, thank you Louis. You're so good to me."

"I'd hope so after that big fight..."

Legosi's heart hurt just remembering it, causing his tail to stop wagging. He looked back to the deer. "Do you want me to do anything for you?"

"Do...anything like what?"

"You're pampering me right now so...I want to know if you want me to do something for you, too."

"I'm afraid of what I would say..." Louis could only feel what could be described as 'anime sweatdrop'.

"...I...I'm not sure..."

"That's okay." Legosi turned around once more, laying on his back again.

Louis scanned his face, his chest. Did he dare look lower...?

The wolf continued to rub his boyfriend's arm.

The young buck's eyes found themselves trailing down, curious.

Legosi caught Louis' gaze travelling downward. He looked away in embarrassment, but he was also happy.

The deer's eyes rested on the wolf's crotch. "Did you ever anticipate a male herbivore gazing upon you this way?"

Legosi just shook his head. "Does it look...weird?"

"What? No! Of course not..."

The wolf laughed softly. He wasn't sure why he even said it.

"Yeah."

He moved his hand onto his thigh. "This is what my canine looks like."

Legosi let his hand lay there. "Is it...what you expected?"

"I don't know what I expected."

The canine's tail wiggled beneath him. "That'll be the same way I feel for you. I know it."

"Really...?"

"Yes." He showed his big, canine teeth with his smile.

"I guess I could try..." This statement caused his boyfriend's tail to wag faster.

"When...how..."

Legosi sat up. "Do you want me to help you...undress?"

"U-uh...yeah..." He knew he wouldn't be able to do it himself.

The wolf reached out, pulling apart the extra stretchy material around the sweater's neck. He had to get it off over his antlers, after all. He pulled it up, but of course it got stuck...

Louis grunted. "Of course..."

Legosi whined slightly as he worked to undo the mess, Louis' face hidden by the fabric.

The deer's muzzle poked out behind the cloth. "Do you need help?"

"Uh, yeah. It must be so hard for you to get dressed."

"You've seen me get dressed." He raised his hand and got the sweater off easily.

"Yeah, but I've never tried to do it for you..." The deer guided his wolf's hands, untangling the sweater from the forest of antlers. They tossed it aside. Legosi looked down at Louis. He still looked as skinny as ever. It had only been a few days since he started eating more, after all.

Louis looked down and covered himself with his arms. "I know...I'm trying."

Legosi gently pulled the deer's arms apart, putting his snout against his chest and sniffing deeply. He gave it a soft lick, moving his hands down to Louis' belt.

The deer grabbed his hand. "W-wait."

"Mm?" The wolf's hands retreated.

"N...nevermind..."

"Oh..." Legosi brought his hands over to himself, sitting like he didn't know what to do with himself.

His hand moved away. "G-go on..."

The wolf cocked his head, and his ears perked up. He moved back to the belt, unbuckling it gently and sliding it off around Louis' waist.

Calm down, Louis. Calm down. He laid back so Legosi could pull them off.

The wolf tugged at the legs, having a bit of trouble due to the friction against the bed.

He lifted them a bit. "B-better..."

The pants came off in an instant. Legosi dropped them to the floor, moving to Louis' socks, which he peeled off individually. He looked up at Louis. He looked so nervous. Vulnerable.

The deer covered his face again.

"Just...nervous. There's only one thing left."

"Yes." Legosi looked down at the plaid boxers. He eased it off Louis, moving down to the garment. He held them softly, giving them a gentle tug. Not enough to take them off just yet. He looked back up to to his boyfriend.

The deer pushed his arm down on his face.

Legosi just wore that warm, inviting smile.

"I-I'm waiting..."

The wolf looked back down, slowly sliding the underwear off. He took everything in. Then, with the underwear at his feet, he let it fall to the floor, still just staring over Louis' body. He was so petite and delicate, like a flower. Legosi brought his large hands up to Louis' hips, rubbing them up and down slowly. "You're..."

"..."

He leaned over him, scanning him up and down. His fur was a brilliant reddish orange all the way through, although the fur was a bit darker near his nether regions. Legosi's eyes lingered on there for a bit, and he imagined what their first time would be like. He looked back up and met Louis' one eye with his own two. "...breathtaking."

The deer's eye looked away. "No..."

The wolf leaned down more, gently pulling his lover's face to look at him. "You are. You're beautiful."

"Don't lie, Legosi..." He closed his legs.

"I would never," the wolf whispered. "I want to see you." He gently parted his legs.

Louis breathed nervously. He tried to keep them closed.

Legosi didn't force him. He continued to stare at him. "Louis, you convinced this nobody wolf to make something of himself and use his strength to fight for his friends. For the animal he loves. For you. You've completely changed my life for the better. I've never been so happy in all my life. And it's because I love you. Because I'm yours, and you're mine. And because you're the most beautiful animal I've ever seen."

He breathed heavily after saying all of those words. He wasn't sure how he mustered up the ability to even say all of that. He was speaking directly from the heart.

Louis uncovered his eye, finally looking at his naked wolf.

Legosi's face was right in front of his. He kissed him.

Louis' eye widened. "Mff! Mm..."

The wolf drew back. "What is it?"

"I'm...afraid."

"Sorry! Sorry...I just got caught up in the moment." He leaned back again, looking at both his and the deer's naked bodies.

"No...Legosi..." He breathed slowly and grabbed his mate's hand.

Legosi squeezed it back. "What is it?"

"I need to get over it. So...take me away. Somewhere. Anywhere. Take me into a dream and let's never leave."

Legosi's ear flicked. The deer's flowery language stumped him sometimes. He took Louis' other hand and pulled him into his chest.

His lover wrapped his arms around him.

Legosi squeezed him closer. With no clothes on...it was amazing. Their fur rubbing against each other. He sniffed Louis' scent once again, rubbing up and down Louis' bare back and buttocks.

The deer huffed. He was shaking a bit.

"It's okay," the wolf whispered. He brought a hand to rub his chest as well. "It's okay."

The deer nodded.

Legosi nudged Louis' cheek with his nose. "Are you happy?"

"I think so..."

"Mmm...I hope so. I think...this is good practice."

"Did you see...everything?"

He nodded. "I love all of it. All of you."

"Do you want to look more...?"

The canine pulled away and looked down. Both of their privates, right next to each other, and it was clear that both of them were getting into it. Legosi blushed. Louis looked to the side.

"I like...how we look. Together. I like how you look. It makes me feel better about...the sex." He rested his forehead on Louis' chest.

"Me too..."

Legosi just couldn't get his eyes off of them. They were so different. Yet they were so close. They were unbelievably close. Inseparable.

"I'm...still so nervous." He chuckled a bit.

"I know." It was strange. Legosi felt completely calm at that moment. "So, what should we do now?"

"Could you just...feel me?"

The wolfnodded, returning his hands to his deer's body. He rubbed them up and down his chest, his back, pulling on his tail gently. He moved them across and around his legs. Those large, gentle hands were so warm, and he tried his hardest to keep his filed down nails from scraping the deer.

Louis laid back and stared at the ceiling.

Legosi laid down with him, on his side next to him. He continued to rub him, and brought his mouth to his neck, licking. He rubbed up and down Louis' thigh, brushing against his genitals a few times.

The deer huffed, pulling him closer. "Just...be careful."

"Always." The wolf wrapped his legs around him, rubbing against Louis.

Louis slid his arms down his canine's back, both hands resting on his butt, he squeezed gently.

Legosi hummed, pressing closer to the deer and nuzzling into his neck and face. He reached down and felt Louis' butt too. It was small, but round. Still cute.

"S-sorry if it's...not what you hoped..."

"I hoped for you, and this is it." Legosi smiled.

"H-huh...?"

"You're perfect."

"Not even close..." He moved a bit. "I'm a mess."

"Shhhh." Legosi cupped his cheek. "Trust me. Believe me. You're the only animal for me." He pressed himself against the deer, rubbing their cheeks together.

Louis smiled softly and made an effort to rub his cheek against his back. "There are billions. SOMEONE else has to stand out."

Legosi shook his head, snout bumping against Louis' face. "I don't want them. I want you. I love you."

The deer scooted ever so closer. "I still have doubts, it's hard..."

They were embraced so tightly, their nude bodies tangled up in each other. "Well, I'm not going anywhere," Legosi told him.

"Don't, unless you're taking me with you." He nuzzled gently, moving his hand on his leg.

"...Do you want to get under the covers?"

"Yeah..." He moved slowly, grabbing it and pulling it over them.

Legosi grabbed Louis and rolled with him, wrapping them up in the blankets, pulling them even closer. He laughed. His chest felt light. The dim light from the kitchen cast upon them in an ethereal way. Their bodies were so hot together, made even more so now by the blanket.

"This is...nice, actually."

The wolf rubbed down the deer's back gently, wrapping his legs around him. "It's really nice. This works so well."

"It...it does?" He shuddered gently.

"You don't think?" Legosi asked quietly.

"I...it's so different than being with Haru-chan."

The canine blinked, then laughed softly. "I guess that's true. You're my first time doing...anything."

"Anything?"

"Anything romantic...intimate. You're the only animal." Legosi gave Louis a long lick from his chest up to his neck. He could feel their lengths pressed against each other, squished between their bodies.

"Y-yeah...I don't even know how I...Did it with Haru-chan so easily."

The carnivore continued rubbing the deer all over his body. "You were both herbivores, and she was a girl. I feel a lot of animals don't think twice about that sort of thing. But this...is something special."

Louis nodded. "Yeah..."

Legosi rolled on his back, bringing the deer on top of him. He just stared up at his face, unable to stop smiling. He was so unbelievably lucky. He rested both of his hands on the small of Louis' back, easily covering the entire area.

The deer swallowed and looked down into his eyes. "This is so...different from anything I've known."

Legosi's ears twitched. "Is it...good?"

"I think so..."

"I hope so. Let me know if I do anything...bad."

"B-bad...?" He felt those large hands on his back, focusing on the feeling. He never saw Legosi being like this when he met him.

"Like, if I do anything that scares you, or hurts you." The wolf looked away slightly. His face was so soft and gentle.

Louis leaned in and kissed his cheek. "Mm..."

Legosi retaliated with a cheek kiss of his own, wrapping his legs tighter around him. His tail wagged, or as much as it could within the enclosed space. Because of the restriction, he started squirming from his excitement.

"I love your body."

Legosi, a canine always looking for praise, asked; "What do you love about it?"

"How soft it is...how big you are...the way you wrap around me."

The wolf huffed, closing his eyes tight and nudging Louis' chin with his nose. He pressed his hips against him.

"Everything..."

Legosi was a bit breathless. "We fit so perfectly. Our bodies." He kissed his collarbones. He wouldn't be able to do this with a muzzle...

"Do you think we fit...sexually?"

Legosi withdrew. "Well, we'll find out...one day. And...if we don't...we can always do this."

"This?"

"What we're doing right now. Of course, I...I think sex will work with us. It just has to, right? We love each other too much, I think we'll make it work no matter what."

"I...I really hope so...I think showering with you would be nice, sometimes."

The wolf looked over to the bathroom door. "You have mentioned that before. Well, I still have to take one tonight. We could..."

"Yes."

Legosi was taken aback by how fast the response was. He unwrapped himself from Louis, allowing him to get up.

The deer scanned his body again as the blanket fell. "Mm."

The canine blushed. It was the first time his boyfriend was seeing him at full mast.

The deer swallowed again. "H-heh..."

Legosi looked at Louis too. Yep, he was fine with that going in him. The thought made him blush harder.

"W-we should probably go before my nerves get the best of me..."

"Okay." The wolf got up, walking over to the bathroom, tail swaying with his hips.

Louis closed his eyes. What the hell am I doing... He got up, following closely.

Legosi entered the bathroom, drawing the shower curtain. He peered inside. He fit okay by himself, but with Louis?

The deer peeked past his shoulder. "Do you think we'll fit?"

"Let's find out." The large wolf stepped in, leaning his back against the wall to allow the deer room.

"Don't you turn it on first...?"

"Well, you wanted to see if we'd fit." Legosi looked down, noticing his erection sticking out quite far. He pushed it down, embarrassed.

The deer sighed and joined him, making sure not to touch him. They were both pressed against the opposite wall, but even then their knees still touched.

"Hm."

Legosi looked down. "Well, we fit standing up, a little bit. I sort of wish we could sit down and have a bath together."

"We can...try. Your fur will shed in the water, though."

"It does that anyway." The wolf tried sitting in the tub. He brought his legs up as much as he could, but he still took up half the tub.

Louis looked down at him. "Uh...Can you even spread your legs?"

Legosi complied, trying his best to in the cramped space. His mind told him to cover himself, but he ignored it.

"Hm...Uh..." He turned around, his little tail wagging as he started sitting.

"O-oh!" So that's what he was doing. He tried moving back even more, allowing Louis more room.

The deer sat and tried to scoot back in-between his legs, his arms being squeezed. Legosi brought his arms to wrap around him, making it easier for them to fit..

Louis blinked as they sat in silence. "Well. This is happening."

"Yeah. Uh, who's going to turn on the water?"

"Well, I'm closer so..." He got up on his knees, reaching forward. His butt was in front of Legosi's face. His little tail wiggled.

The wolf couldn't keep his eyes away from Louis. His erection was never going to go away at this rate.

The buck turned the faucet and the bath began running. "We should get some candles sometime." He turned his head back a bit.

"Uh, if this works. Won't the water just spill out with all the space we're taking up?"

"Uh..." Louis sat back. "No...? That would have happened if we filled it up first..."

"Well, won't it still reach the edge faster with us in it?" Legosi was trying his hardest to picture in his mind the physics at play.

"Uhhhh...You're the one in class, you tell me!"

The canine held his head in confusion. "Just...come back over here."

The deer scooted back into him. "Here I am."

Legosi ducked his head under his antlers, resting on his left shoulder. "I think...I'm already used to seeing you naked. It just seems natural."

"Does it really?"

"Yeah. Either that or...I'm just not embarrassed anymore."

Louis scooted back more. "Do you think we should just...stay like this?"

Legosi scratched his cheek. "Uh, well I think we should get dressed at some point. Plus we can't go outside naked..."

Louis laughed. "That's not what I meant!"

"Hm?"

"I meant tonight."

"Oh..." he dwelled on it for a moment. "It'll be nice to sleep like this together, especially after we're both clean.

"You don't smell that bad..."

"I meant...because we'd both be soft, hon."

"Sorry, dear..."

The wolf chuckled, shaking Louis gently by the shoulders. "No, you're the deer!"

"Oh, you're right!"

The hot water rose around them, binding them together even more. Legosi looked around for the soap.

"It is really calming, some candles would have been lovely."

"We'll buy some candles next time we're out." He reached up, grabbing a bottle of fur shampoo. He put some on his hand and started rubbing it into Louis' shoulders.

The deer closed his eye. "Mm..."

Legosi put more on his hand, working it into his own body as well.

"We're gonna be nice and soft after this, for once I'm excited."

The wolf continued to wash his deer. Eventually, the water had filled to a point dangerously close to spilling.

Louis reached forward and turned if off, spilling some water anyway.

Legosi lathered the soap into the buck. "I really enjoy this scent. You did a good job picking it."

Louis smiled. "Thank you. I feel like I figure out what you like more and more as we go."

The wolf reached lower, scrubbing the deer's sides and thighs under the water.

Louis huffed. "Look how far we've come."

"I can't believe it some days. Sometimes, I think I'm going to wake up back in room 701, and go back to the drama club where you'd yell at me again."

"Never. Those days are over."

Legosi withdrew his hands. "Now it's your turn to wash me."

"But you're behind me."

The wolf reached his hands down, grabbing Louis and spinning him around so he was now facing him. He poked his fangs from his mouth.

The deer looked at him. "You really like moving me."

"I love touching you..."

"I love when you touch me." Louis grabbed the shampoo and squirted it into his hands, rubbing the soap in between them.

"Mmmm." He reacted to the touch, squirming in the tight space.

Louis began rubbing his hands against the wolf's chest, watching it bubble up.

"Ohh, this was a good idea." Legosi still couldn't hold back when his chest and stomach was rubbed.

"V-very..."

Soon, they were both lathered up from head to chest. It looked quite silly.

The deer raised his hands up and pushed his hands together on the canine's head, giving him a little mohawk.

He looked up, unable to see what the deer did. He tried doing the same to him, but Louis' fur was too short.

The deer sat back on his knees, inspecting his work. He snickered.

"What'd you do?"

"Nothing~"

Legosi shifted up, crouching. He then dipped his head down, putting it under the water to rinse off.

"Aw...you ruined it."

The wolf reached up and pinched Louis' cheek. He then used his hands to splash water onto the deer to rinse him as well.

"We should do this more often."

"If only the bath were bigger."

"I offered!"

"Well, now I know we need one. Will it be worth it if we're just going to move out later?"

"That's for you to decide."

"I'll think about it."

"Sounds good. What do...you want to do after this?"

Legosi smiled. He looked pretty silly all wet like this. "Well, I wanted to cuddle with you in bed while we watched something. Naked."

Louis blushed. "What do you want to watch?"

The wolf smiled. "I like that cooking show you found the other day."

The deer grinned. "Oh, I love that show!"

They took turns with the fur dryer, drying each other off with it and admiring each others' bodies. They both ended up being super soft and fluffy. Well, fluffy in Legosi's case.

Louis was smiling the whole time. "It's nice to be so comfortable with something like this. Even with Haru, I was usually always under the covers."

"That's good! I'm glad you're comfortable around me." Legosi thought about what most carnivores would think about when seeing a naked herbivore. He took his toothbrush and cleaned his teeth before stepping out of the bathroom. Being naked for so long felt interesting, that was for sure.

The deer followed him, keeping his arms crossed. "What do you want for breakfast tomorrow?"

"Hmmm." Legosi sounded almost whimsical. "Something with fruit."

"Fruit...hm..." Looks like he'd be waking up early.

The wolf turned on the television, crawling onto the bed on his hands and knees, butt up in the air. "I just want something sweet, I think."

The deer got on after him. "That can be arranged. I get better with every thing I cook."

Legosi looked back at Louis. "You're so talented, deer."

"Could you wrap your body around me? We can sit and watch while you hold me."

Legosi nodded, holding his arms and legs open.

Louis sat back against him, feeling the canine's crotch against his lower back. "We can do this more, if you're open to it." He was enjoying the post-shower softness of their fur.

"...Definitely." He put his nose against the back of Louis' neck, sniffing. He wrapped his arms all the way around him, as well as his legs. Nothing would harm this deer as long as he was around.

"Um..." he thought back to a recent dream he had. "Could you...nibble my ear?"

"Hm? What was that?"

"Could you nibble my ear...?" He whispered.

Legosi's heart skipped, and his ears drew back. "B-but, what if..."

"It will be fine...We've made it this far."

Legosi nodded. Truth was, this was something he had had urges to do before, but he always held back in fear. But...if Louis trusted him...

The deer's hand reached back onto his lover's cheek and stroked. "You can decide what happens next."

He wrapped around him tighter, bringing his muzzle up to one of those long ears. He breathed on it lightly, before taking it gently in his mouth, pressing it against his top lip and bottom teeth.

Louis stared forward, making sure he stayed alert at first.

Legosi put more tongue into it. Then he used both sets of teeth, still going softly. The deer's ear twitched in his mouth.

"Th-there's another part of this, but...I'll wait..."Until you're ready."

"Wh-what's that?"

"Just tell me when you're ready."

The wolf shuffled a bit. "Um, can you nibble my ear too?"

"From this position...? I'm not sure."

The canine rested his head on Louis' shoulder, like usual, ear flicking against his face.

"Just...take your time. We don't even have to do the next step."

"I want to know what you're thinking?"

"I'm thinking this feels really good..."

Legosi nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"I'm nervous about the next part I saw in my dream..."

"Tell me," the wolf whispered.

"C-can't I just show you...?"

"...Yeah."

He grabbed Legosi's hand and slowly began moving it down, then stopped. "Actually...I don't know..."

"Go ahead." Legosi nuzzled his neck encouragingly.

He took a breath, continuing and moving it all the way down. "You can...touch wherever you want, okay? Just be gentle with your claws..."

Legosi simply nodded. He felt around. He was at Louis' stomach. His hip bones. He moved lower between them, finding the deer's privates and cupping them. It was the first time touching them outside underwear.

Louis huffed, looking anywhere else. "Just...be careful..."

"I will." The wolf curled his hands, using his knuckles to stroke Louis. He went back to the ear to nibble.

"If you...touch anything else, be extra careful…" He was breathing heavily, nervously. In his dream Legosi had slid his fingers in...But in real life it wouldn't be so easy.

Legosi continued to nibble, using his hands to stroke and cup Louis. One of his hands went lower, stroking him on the butt.

The deer moved up gently. "C-careful..."

Legosi let go of the ear. "Maybe we should have gotten me gloves?"

"That would be ridiculous..." He huffed.

"Okay." He looked down. "Would you feel better if I had my muzzle?"

"N-no!"

The canine nudged him with his nose, his hands feeling his lover's lower body all over. He nibbled on his shoulder experimentally.

The deer shuddered, becoming more aroused with each touch.

Suddenly, Legosi took Louis' length completely in his hand, rubbing his thumb on it.

He gasped gently. "L-Legosi..."

He froze. "S-sorry, should I stop?"

"No! No..."

Legosi rubbed Louis up and down, stroking him. He took his other hand and used it to rub his thigh.

"Nngh..." The deer swallowed. His throat always got so dry with this stuff. He felt sensitive.

"I love you. I love you so much," Legosi whispered into Louis' ear, breathing out of his nose and tickling the fur.

"Can you tell me why I feel so scared...?"

He stopped for a moment. "Well, this is something new for you. And you're a herbivore. A large carnivore has you in his clutches. But remember, you're in control of this. I'll stop whenever you tell me to."

"Please don't...I'm getting more used to everything..."

"That's good...just remember I'm all yours. You tamed me." He smiled at their little joke.

"I'm...I'm a carnivore tamer, after all..."

"That you are." The large carnivore started touching him again. "The best one there is."

"Don't...don't say anything to anyone about that..."

"I won't...well, Haru and the boys have already seen the apron."

"Yeah..."

Legosi moved a hand to cup the petite herbivore while he stroked. He nibbled his shoulder slightly harder.

Louis grunted gently.

He let go, a strand of drool hanging from his mouth. "Should I...stop before you mess up the blanket?"

"No! It will be fine, Legosi! Keep going!"

He followed the order, alternating between ear and shoulder nibbles as he stroked Louis up and down. His paw pads were soft, but also slightly rough. They were so warm.

"Anything you want...it's all yours."

Legosi continued what he was doing, picking up the pace while being mindful of Louis' safety.

The deer grunted gently, toes curling a bit. "M-mfff..."

The carnivore took Louis' ear once again, but this time putting the whole thing in his mouth. He used his tongue to lick inside of it.

The buck huffed as his ear was messed with. His tail wiggled a bit behind him.

Louis was so hard in Legosi's hand. He imagined what their first time would be like, once again...

It was at that moment he realized he himself was pretty hard as well, pushing against Louis' back. He kept stroking, now using his other hand to stroke as well. His two large hands almost completely engulfed it.

The deer's head moved down and he looked at Legosi's large hands caressing him gently.

"You're amazing, Louis." The wolf breathed out.

"You're...you're...hahh..."

Legosi kept stroking. He wanted to give Louis his release. He deserved it. He deserved the world.

The deer shook a bit, mostly because in this position his instincts were telling him to just let Legosi devour him.

Obviously unaware of these thoughts, Legosi went in for more nibbles. He made sure not to let it go anywhere past that. He worried if this was his instincts sneaking up on him, but he still had no desire to actually eat Louis.

"L-Legosi...Mm..." He reached his hand back once more and clutched his cheek fur.

Legosi alternated his hands, pulling up with one and quickly replacing it with the other, pulling up. He remained completely gentle.

"C-careful!"

Legosi slowed down at this. He couldn't even imagine what he'd do if he hurt Louis...

"No! It's fine! I mean! Just! Be careful!" He was panting heavily.

He went back to his previous method. He sniffed Louis' scent deeply, catching his natural musk through the soap still. His smell always drove him crazy. He pushed himself into his lover as he rubbed his nether regions.

The deer squirmed a bit. "Nnnghhh..."

Legosi moved faster, attentive to Louis in case he told him to slow down. He didn't, so he moved faster.

The deer built up quickly and with a whimper and a low moan, he came all over the sheets.

Legosi stroked him as he released, slowing down and coming to a stop. Some of it had gotten on his hands, so he kept them where they were.

"G-god...Sorry..."

"It's alright...That's what I wanted to do for you. Did it feel good...?"

"It felt incredible..." He panted heavily, his chest heaving.

Legosi backed away, getting up and heading toward the sink. "I want to touch you again, but I can't with this..." He rinsed his hands off in the sink. "Should I get something for the sheets?"

"Uh...yeah..." He looked at the mess he had made. "Ugh...That's embarrassing."

"Don't be embarrassed! It's just us here." The wolf returned with a wet rag.

"Okay..." He just...stared at it. "It looks weird. I never...Finished with Haru-chan."

Legosi worked at scrubbing it up, trying to ignore the strong scent it had. "I thought you two had sex?"

"That doesn't always mean climaxing. If so, did we just have sex?" Louis laughed.

"So...you um...went into her...but never came?" The canine looked at him with a confused tilt of the head.

"No..."

He cocked his head more. "No...you didn't or no...you did?"

"No I didn't."

"Oh." Legosi continued cleaning. "Did she know?"

"She would have felt it."

"Did she ever say anything?"

"I feel bad for her. I hope she finds someone." He looked over at Louis. "But...of course I'm glad we found each other."

"Me, too. I don't even...Want to worry about anyone else." He pulled his legs to his chest, his tail wiggling. "I'm already trying to keep us steady."

"I understand." Legosi got up and rinsed the rag out and wrung it, tossing it into the laundry hamper before returning once again. "I think things are going well. We only had that one big fight..."

"I'm always scared I'll say something wrong and we'll have another."

"We've been communicating well, though! And you know how I can misunderstand things easily..."

"And we've been moving along sexually too...We got so close recently..."

"And we got...the stuff today." He looked down at Louis. "And I actually...touched you just now. That was really nice, and it made me feel better about myself. Now I know it's easy to be gentle."

"You're always so amazing with that. It's strange, knowing how you are. I'm sorry I didn't return the favor."

The canine's tail wagged happily at the praise. "That's okay! I'm just happy we got to be so close tonight! And we've been naked in front of each other for like...almost an hour now."

"True!"

Legosi turned around for Louis, giving him a look over everything. "So...you still want this wolf?" He laughed softly.

"Very badly, yes."

"We're getting there." The wolf's smile faded as he glanced over at the nightstand where he had put the muzzle.

"Slowly, but surely. The only thing is your claws, but knowing how gentle you can be..."

"And I can file them extra before we decide to have sex." He sat down next to Louis, laying his head in his lap. It was so strange to mention it so casually...Have sex. We're going to have sex. Me and Louis. He is going to have sex with me, one day.

The deer blushed red, considering his head was on his exposed crotch. He looked down. "I don't think most people see you as a sexual creature."

"I never really was. I mean, I only masturbated maybe once a month before." Legosi froze. "And...now I talk about it pretty openly. I never would have said that a few months ago."

"Do you still do it once a month?" he smirked.

He looked up at the buck. "...I get some help."

"H-help?"

"From you, silly." He reached up and flicked Louis' chin slightly.

"O-oh..." He blushed. "Duh. I'm glad to. It's hot when you finish..."

The canine let out a bark of laughter. "It's still weird...anything about me being considered 'hot'."

"Have I ever even said the word?"

Legosi thought for a second. "...No...actually. I think...you just sort of implied it?" He reached for one of Louis' hands and placed it on his soft chest fur.

The deer squeezed his chest fur gently. "You're the hottest creature alive."

Legosi snorted, his face screwing up as he tried to hold back laughter. "Sorry! I believe you mean it. It's just...funny...to me."

The deer laughed. "It is quite a strange word."

The wolf got off and crawled over to the bed, shaking his butt at Louis. One of Legosi's rare, playful moods that only Louis really got to see.

He blushed. "Might not want to tease me, wolf. We have the stuff now."

The wolf laughed under his breath softly. He lifted up the covers and slipped under. "Let's sleep," he yawned.

"Agreed." He got on his side. "You can...spoon me."

Legosi did just that. It was even better naked. He wrapped his one leg around the deer, like he usually did.

Louis felt the wolf's length against his butt and he tried not to think about it. He was...so warm...

Legosi nuzzled himself completely into his deer, the sound from the TV drifting him to sleep.
