Chapter Two
Her Eyes

The evening was grey, dark, and all around gloomy at first glance. Though with everyone holed up in their dorms waiting around for the rain to stop, things felt quiet, save for the gentle pattering of water droplets hitting the pavement below. The wolf felt at peace as he sat on the porch, hood pulled up over his head while he waited for Haru to approach the dorm building. He'd only been waiting there for around twenty minutes, give or take, but he still couldn't help but lose himself to his thoughts as they continued to race within his mind without end. Despite his calm and rather gloomy exterior, Legosi was almost always in constant flux about his situations, what he could do to resolve them, and ways that he'd gone about handling other things. It was a constant dilemma that had plagued him for years, though by this point he'd managed to find some sort of comfort in it, as strange as that might sound. The wolf's eyes glanced up from the concrete to eye the road that led to the dorm building, hoping to see Haru with her little clear umbrella in hand. Luckily enough, there she was, adorned in her usual white dress and purple velcro-strap shoes. His face immediately lifted in delight as he intently watched her grow closer and closer to the building, eventually stopping once she had noticed him sitting on the steps. Dazing off when talking to Haru had become a common occurrence at this point, and this time was no different. She stood there for a solid minute, attempting to grab Legosi's attention only to have him remain still, staring blankly into her eyes as they gazed up into his own.

'Every time I stare into them... it's like I've entered another world. I can't bring myself to... look away.' Not that he wanted to, of course. But even still, his brain eventually snapped out of it and allowed him to properly focus on their conversation. "..Mm? Huh? O-OH! S-Sorry, I uhh... was thinkin' about something, didn't mean to ignore you there. What's up?"

Haru's ears perked up once he finally managed to snap himself out of it, a warm grin finally stretching across her snout as she began making her way towards the stairs. "Y'know, you say that, but you're the one sitting on my porch waiting for me. Trying to stalk me or somethin'?" She chuckled, already finding herself amused at just how quickly she could make the poor wolf so deeply flustered from a simple tease.

His hands immediately flew up in a sort of defensive position as if he was being held at gun-point. This, again, made Haru smile for reasons even she didn't understand, but she didn't seem to mind. Right off the bat, he started trying to make a case for himself, explaining why he was sitting out there in the first place. "Nono! I'm not stalking you, I had just wanted to make sure I didn't miss a chance to talk to you 'cause you left that porn mag in my room, and I-", Haru's expression froze at the mention of the magazine she'd left for him in his room, and so within a mere second or two of him saying it, she had hopped up to the top step to attempt to try and keep his mouth shut using both of her hands. "SHHH! Good lord, you trying to announce it to the whole world you big dummy?!" She hissed, leaving the poor wolf frozen in place beneath her in both complete and utter shock, as well as some light embarrassment from where she was standing. He let out the slightest of groans past his lips, but he didn't want to seem like he was trying to force his jaw or anything that could be considered threatening, so he made no attempt to speak. Instead, he simply patted her on the shoulder with the most delicate touch he could muster before gesturing down towards her feet and groaning yet again once she shifted.

Haru, still mildly annoyed with how nonchalantly Legosi decided to talk about something like that, followed the gesture of his large, seemingly lanky hand before feeling her eyes shoot open in some sort of a comical stare as she noticed just where she had been standing. Once again, her feet shifted, causing the poor wolf to groan in mild discomfort before the little dwarf rabbit rushed herself off of his lap in the most careful way possible, trying her best not to trample all over his family jewels. Legosi sighed with relief, finally opening his maw and letting out a deep breath once she finally moved herself off of his groin. Luckily enough for him, she was extremely small and her weight was easily manageable, so the pain wasn't anything too bad. Still, they both sat there in complete silence for a moment or two, nearly attempting to hide their faces before finally turning to face each other. "Even?" Haru muttered. Legosi once again let out a deep breath, "E-Even..."

The wolf leaned himself down a bit to ensure that they were at least relatively close to eye-level before speaking again, "Listen, Haru... I've been meaning to talk to you for weeks now and I eventually got tired of waiting for a good chance, so I just kinda... waited here for you. I don't want to drive you away, I could never want that. I just couldn't stand not being able to see you." He said, dipping his head a bit lower down. The little dwarf rabbit stared at him, eventually reaching one of her hands up to help lift his chin once more, "Jeez... you're acting like some sort of home-sick pup. Hmm... the night's still pretty young, we can go walk around for a bit if you'd like." She gave a mild grin at the thought. Legosi, however, grimaced as he looked up towards the dreary overcast, watching as the rain continued to hammer against the ground outside. Since they couldn't really leave the campus without teacher approval, their options were limited for places to walk to. Then it hit him. The roof-top! Her gardening area would be a perfect place to talk and wind down, assuming that they wouldn't get any sort of unexpected visitors of course. The thought itself didn't even seem to matter to him anymore, he had already gotten himself excited about the plan, "I got it!" Haru staggered, not really expecting to see him say it so energetically, even if it was still relatively tame by regular people's standards. He noticed her expression and dialed it back a bit, a nervous yet genuine smile finally donning his muzzle, "How about we go to garden? I mean... it's not that far from here and I figured we could stay dry in the room you've got. Though... if you'd rather just go back inside, that's tota-", Haru once again reached over with her hand, instead just planting a single finger against the wolf's lips and giving him a wonderfully happy smile that nearly caused him to faint from just how hard he blushed through his fur. "C'mon, let's go." She said before promptly standing up and grabbing her umbrella. "A-Alright.." He nodded slowly before following along and making his way down the steps.

Now that they were out in the rain, the substantial and painfully obvious problem that they should've considered before was making things a bit difficult. How the hell was he not gonna get soaked when he doesn't have an umbrella? They quickly tried to think of ways to fix it, but they kept coming up short. Him carrying it wouldn't make any difference because of how small it was, not to mention that she would most likely get poured on. So, instead of making too big of a deal out of it, "Haru, it'll be fine. We can still just walk there."

"But Legosi, you're gonna get soaked!" She grumbled, still trying to race through her thoughts for some sort of way that would keep them both dry without looking... weird. But while she took the time to think, he took a step out into the rain, immediately ending up with his hood getting soaked by the downpour. Haru glared up at him for a moment or two before finally just going along with it and beginning to walk alongside him on their way to the gardening club. His fur, his head and pretty much every part of him was completely soaked within seconds, and yet he didn't seem to mind. If anything, to him, as long as he was with Haru, this was more than worth the difficulty involved.

It only took the pair about five minutes to finally make it into the building, up the stairs and onto the roof, so he was able to at least get himself out of the rain before his shoes were completely ruined. Nonetheless, once they opened the door to the roof, he was a bit surprised not to see the beaming vibrance of color that he was usually met with whenever he came up here. This was due to the mass number of tarps carefully draped over pretty much every bed of flowers in the garden, save for the ones that she knew were going to be alright. 'Huh... that would explain why it took her longer than usual to show up. Wait, how do I even know when she's supposed to show up? Ah damn, am I really stalking her?" The wolf stood and continued rattling his brain a bit whilst Haru hastily unlocked the roof-top shed so that they could finally catch their breath in a much warmer place. Once they were both inside, she once again shut the door and locked it just in case to ensure that nobody would just come barging in.

With his clothes now completely dripping-wet from the rain, Legosi turned towards the rabbit, gesturing towards his clothing to see if it'd be alright to go ahead and take 'em off. Haru stared at him, a bit puzzled by the motion of his arms at first before finally catching onto what he was trying to say. "Oh! Yea-yea, go ahead and take those off, we can hang 'em out to dry tomorrow morning." She said while folding up her umbrella and setting it down next to her bed-side table. Legosi was... hesitant, to say the least. The only other time that he'd taken off his clothes in front of her was at the hotel, and he wasn't even the one to do it! Even still, having his already matted fur being pinned by his heavy, wet clothing was getting unreasonably uncomfortable. So, as swiftly as he could, he lifted his sweater along with his tank-top up over his shoulders, bit by bit exposing more of his surprisingly well-toned abdomen, along with the numerous scars that now dented his fur in various places. Soon enough he had hung them up over the nearby coat rack in the corner, leaving him in nothing but his pants. His pants...

'Oh no, this isn't good... I can hardly have her looking at me with my clothes on, there's no way I'm not gonna lose it if she's watching me..." His thoughts trailed off near the end as he turned around, glancing down to see her also beginning to strip; and since she was only wearing a dress, it wasn't long until he was once again exposed to the sight of that wonderfully supple body being hugged ever-so tightly by her matching white bra and panties. The wolf gulped as a deep, burning blush settled over his cheeks, his eyes completely fixated on looking over her every curve from bottom to top... right up until he noticed that Haru was looking back, of course. 'CRAP!' "S-Sorry! I didn't mean t'uh.. uhh.. stare." Legosi said as he turned around, deciding to just go ahead and man up so that he could finally get those cold ass pants off. Slowly but surely he had begun to tug his pants down past his waistline, revealing nothing more than the pair of boxers he was wearing underneath and his tail which was still utterly soaked with water, making it hard for him to move it. Once they were finally off along with his shoes, he put them both in the corner next to the coat rack before looking around the room, looking for some sort of towel to use to dry himself off. He quickly noticed a lone towel sitting on Haru's side table, slightly unfolded. Without even bothering to ask her for permission, he reached down and gently lifted it up to his face, starting to dry off the side of his head while letting out a groan of relief as his fur steadily became lighter and lighter.

While she had been watching him strip for pretty much the entire time they'd been in there, she decided to go ahead and turn around once he walked over to make sure that she didn't freak him out. Though, to her own misfortune and horror, she watched as Legosi began toweling his face off with the same towel that she used to- "LEGOSI! DON'T USE THAT!" The rabbit said as she darted over to snatch it away from him, holding it tightly against her chest in hopes of hiding the scent that he most likely didn't notice at first. Surprisingly enough, that happened to be the case. The rampant mixture of scents in the room had clouded his nose for a moment or two, not really allowing him to sense exactly what she was so worried about. Though now that he'd just gotten done thoroughly toweling himself off with it, he caught a whiff of something... odd. Odd in the sense that it wasn't just a person's scent... it was actually a few people that he smelled on that towel. Not even just that they'd used it, but rather... it was their- The wolf stopped in his tracks immediately and looked down at her with his eyes nearly mimicking her comical stare from earlier. Haru, covering her face with one hand, used the other to reach up and hand him one of her clean towels. Legosi, still disgusted over the fact that he just wiped his face with someone else's cum-stained towel, took the cloth quickly and went over his fur again, toweling off his face much more vigorously than the first time. After he was finished, the fur on the sides of his head poofed out, making him look rather silly for a minute until he combed it back down using his claws. Afterwards he moved onto his arms, his chest and his legs, eventually leaving him looking more like a Pomeranian rather than a wolf. Haru giggled to herself as she eyed him up and down, watching as that silken fur slowly began to flatten back out, once again revealing the toned body underneath.

Haru followed along and dried herself off as well, though it didn't take very long seeing as she was only mildly soaked on her forearms and legs. Once all was said and done, Legosi sat himself down at the end of Haru's bed, gently twiddling his fingers together all the while. Haru took a seat next to him, making the wolf automatically tempted to scoot away from her out of general practice, though he realized that if they had any hope of their relationship even beginning to work, he'd have to stop being such a baby over minor things like this. Though it was a bit difficult to stick to a goal like that when he still wasn't even used to having her touch him. Which of course, is exactly what she was doing, stroking her small, delicate hand up and down his back and purposefully avoiding the dents where Bill had left those "stripes". Legosi shuddered a bit against her touch, though he ultimately managed to remain mostly still all things considered. It remained silent in the room for a few minutes, nothing but the sound of rain filling things in for them until Legosi finally decided to speak up. "Haru... why did you even give me that magazine anyways?" His hand slowly began to trail over from his own lap to hers, though he stopped himself about half-way.

The rabbit sat there in thought for a moment, "Well I mean you read the note inside, didn't you? I figured you would understand what I meant." She shrugged with a light grin on her face. Legosi shook his head slightly, "That's not what I mean. I had already told you that things like that go away; that I'd be fine." He stated, still maintaining his usual calm demeanor all throughout the conversation. Haru frowned a bit and turned away, stopping the movement of her hand on his back, "Well excuse me for trying to help you out. I figured you might have a bit of trouble getting over it since we did so much and then stopped." The wolf once again shook his head, "Well... I did, Haru. I sat awake for that entire week after we got back, trying my best to forget, to numb the feeling of your hands against my chest... and yet I still feel them even now." He said, eyes growing a bit wider while he gently grabbed her hand and placed it against one of his pecs, exactly where she had placed them the last time. "I still remember every single one of them." His hand continued to guide her own along his torso, letting her feel along the edges of his silvery chest-fur until he'd finally reached his heart, giving her the chance to feel the beat increase in pace bit by bit as her hands remained on him. In his mind, things were on fire. He couldn't even coherently make out the words his brain was screaming at him, so he soon just made his best effort to tune them out. "I already told you that I love you, Haru... nothing can change that now. I appreciate the thought of something like that, really, but... I don't think I could ever see another woman like I see you."

Her heart was practically thundering in her ears like the beat of a war-drum at this point, nearly matching up with Legosi's own rhythmic beating. There were times where she wanted to try and interrupt him, to try and stop him before he said something he might wanna take back. And yet... she felt so glad that she didn't. In most of these situations, this would be the perfect moment to pounce each other get down to it, but... she knew full well about her own hesitations, let alone the immense difference in experience between them. So, rather than simply jumping on top of him and taking the reigns, she simply continued rubbing against his chest of her own volition, occasionally stopping to comb her fingers through the fur. "Well then... how about we try and pick up where we left off instead?" Haru said with a welcoming smile on her face, hopefully to keep his nerves at ease. Legosi froze in place once again, staring down into her eyes in sheer terror at the offer. He was still traumatized by the last encounter, he wasn't sure he could take another! But... he knew that this was yet another hump he would have to be able to get over if they were gonna have any chance of being together. So rather than simply denying her offer, he changed it. "I-I don't think I can uh... handle that just yet, but... why not just stick with kissing for now? Y'know, get me used to it?"

Haru was honestly desperate for any sort of opportunity she could get for a chance with him, so she more than happily accepted by taking hold of his neck and pulling him down on top of her! At least... that's what she had hoped would happen, though she didn't really think to consider just how heavy he was. Luckily, the tug was more than enough to signal him to follow her movements, eventually leading him down into a more comfortable position. It was at this point that she'd also remembered Legosi's personal fears about not being able to restrain himself in situations like this, so she thought it was a miracle that she hadn't even heard him growl yet, not even once. Regardless, she wanted to be sure that she didn't make him feel uncomfortable in any way, so rather than making him get on top of her, she helped him lay down against one of the pillows at the head of her mattress before slowly crawling atop his chest and taking a seat. This was... a huge step for him. In all honesty, he considered this to be far more difficult than simply breaking his way into Shishi-Gumi. Even still, despite his rapid heart-beat, he kept his body completely still beneath her, pretty much as stiff as a board. To help get him to relax, Haru continued to gently stroke her fingers up and down against his chest while also cupping at the side of his muzzle, stroking against his fur to hopefully settle his nerves a bit more. Once she was certain that she was able to continue, her head began to lower down towards his own, lips pursed and eyes closed, preparing to enter the next step. Legosi was mortified at first. It took every ounce of willpower that he had in him to not attempt to grab at her body, if only just to once again experience the wonderful softness he was graced with the first time he touched her breast. Though with her soft coaxing and slow nature, he was soon able to continue, pursing his own lips in preparation for the impending lock. Though once it finally hit, the wolf was left... astounded. The difference in size may have hindered a few things, but that didn't change the fact that he was in absolute bliss from simply being able to feel his tongue pressing against her lips. Though of course, once he realized he had started using his tongue, he immediately wanted to try pushing away. Though the moment he thought of doing so, she took hold of a small bundle of his chest-fur, holding on nice and tight to it as she pressed herself deeper into the kiss, now starting to slowly open up her mouth to welcome his curious muscle.

The feeling was... strange for Legosi. Her lips were soft, plush and only slightly wet. Though when compared to her mouth, he couldn't even tell which one he liked more. The heat surrounding his tongue was like a furnace. This immense wave of heat quickly spread to his core, causing his body to heat up at an alarming rate. It wasn't anything bad, of course. Just... surprising. Each and every moment that passed was yet another surprise that continued to send his body in new directions that he couldn't even begin to decipher. Not to mention, his emotions were in a horrible flux! Well... more-so than they usually were. His mind was terrified at the thought that this was finally the first time he was actually getting to kiss someone, his body was overwhelmingly tense and anxious to see what came next, and his loins, well... it's kinda hard to say that part of him was really anything other than excited. Luckily, nothing was showing yet, so he didn't panic any more than he already was.

Minutes had already passed and she was still trying her best to coax him into using his tongue, but nothing seemed to be working. He had occasionally poked his way inside a few times, though he almost immediately retreated soon after. Seeing as this was something he'd need to learn to do anyways, she made that her primary goal for now. Rather than simply letting him come to her, she decided to go to him instead. Her tongue began to gently push its way into his wide, expansive, massive... ahem, big mouth. It was almost exhilarating to feel the sharpened points of his fangs pressing lightly into the edges of her tongue, though she tried her best to at least steer clear of them for now. Once she finally met his tongue, she got to work by slowly circling it around against his own, as if trying to get him to play with it by using his own. Of course, it was a bit difficult seeing as she was merely a rabbit, trying to kiss a wolf at that. But she didn't let that stop her. After a few tries at mashing into his tongue with the lightest of pushes, it seems her plan had started to work. His tongue began to slowly yet surely creep its way back into her mouth, staying motionless against the base of her tongue before finally starting to move around. After a few more minutes, it was a success! And good GOD was that feeling intense. She couldn't even remember when she had even started the kiss, nor when she had stopped to take a breath, or if she even had taken a breath in the first place! After another minute or so, Haru finally began to pull away from the wolf's maw, letting out the slightest of moans as bridges of saliva connected their lips. She stared down into his eyes only to be completely amazed. For once, his eyes weren't just widened in fear or embarrassment. For once, she manged to leave him completely dumbfounded. Though she couldn't really feel too prideful, seeing as she was just about ready to pass out from simply finishing a first-time kiss with Legosi. 'Is it always gonna be like this with him? 'Cause... holy hell.'

Legosi laid there motionless for a good minute, completely blank-minded from just how breathtaking that kiss was. Though when he looked down to see Haru nearly passed out, he snapped back into reality. "H-Haru? Are you okay?!" He said, almost worried. The little rabbit smiled up at him, eyes half-lidded, "I'm more than fine, Legosi. That just took a lot out of me..." He glanced around, trying to find a sleeping back or something so that he could lay down, but there was nothing of the sort. "Do you uh... want me to head out so that you can sleep? This bed isn't big enough for both of us to-" He stopped, watching in confusion as her arms crossed underneath her chin while she laid down on his chest, getting nice and comfy as if she were laying on some sort of great big pillow. "No... you stay right.. there..." She muttered through her drowsiness before finally dozing off to sleep against him, smiling to herself the entire time. Afterwards, Legosi simply laid there, staring at her and then up at the ceiling, grumbling internally to himself as he felt the inconvenient pulsing of a certain annoyance bulging out the front of his boxers. Deciding to ignore it, he closed his eyes and hesitantly placed one of his arms over Haru's body, shivering to himself as her soft fur was met with his own. This was... something he could definitely get used to.
