Chapter 129 - Out of Nowhere

The walk home was not too long but the storm raged on. Nori got water to go and gulped and gulped it and slowly his mind became less cloudy. When they returned, Hachi still wasn't there. Little did Riley know, Nori texted them his plan and also maybe a little extra details on how special Riley was...Maybe a gush.

As they reached the door and unlocked it, Nori's head was finally free of the booze. "Water's a lifesaver. Fuck, man. I mean, I got really drunk but I drank a lot of water, plus all this damn rain."

"Bet now you gotta piss, huh?" Riley giggled.

"YEAH." The fox scrambled in and disappeared into the bathroom.

Riley shook his head and while the fox took care of his business he got changed back into his comfy pajamas.

Nori opened the door and sighed. "Maybe the bears massaged each other." He found his boyfriend, hoping he liked his little joke.

"You think they do that? Or hell, maybe Roman and his wife get free ones." Riley laid back on the couch and put his feet up on the armrest.

Nori observed him, unable to help his encroaching urges. "I like the gay option better."

"Did you think those bears were hot?"

"Hoooooh yeah," Nori nodded. "Definitely."

"But you didn't wanna be touched by them in the end?"

"My boner would have made a hole in the bed."

Riley's face flattened. "So, you're gonna ruin my furniture instead?"

Nori stepped closer and grabbed his feet, wiggling them. "My boner can always go somewhere else."

Riley looked up at the ceiling and snorted. "What, like overseas? The traveling boner?"

"No, to the cemetery because you just killed it."

Riley chuckled and wiggled his toes. "Hachi's still not back, huh? I want that massage...as long as they're willing to give it."

The fox kissed his foot, gently. "I'm sure they'll be willing to. Meanwhile...you and I have some unfinished business...?"

Riley's ears flapped in thought. "Uh...seeing each other naked?"

Nori seemingly became timid now as he looked down. "...Mhm..."

Riley sat up and took his shirt off. "Well, you've seen this part already."

"And yet I'm still drooling." Nori dramatically wiped his mouth and pulled his own off.

Just as quickly, Riley pulled his pants off, leaving his boxers.

His partner was slower and more deliberate with his own and he came over, sitting on the edge of the couch next to Riley. "Hey..."

"Uh, you ever seen someone else's dick before?" Riley asked him.

"Yep. Hachi's," Nori said. "When we'd bathe together. S-speaking of..." he grabbed Riley's clawed hand with his own clawed hand. "I was thinking maybe..." Wow. So easy with Hachi but so hard with Riley.

"You wanna bathe together, too?"

"I was thinking maybe we could shower together...Make this whole thing easier..." He squeezed his hand.

"Ohh, so practical. We'll see each other naked because we're getting clean! Despite me already having showered today." Riley stuck his tongue out.

"Or we can just get naked here if you think I'm being a pussy..." Nori mumbled. "But I was kinda thinking we could hug under the shower and like...feel each other?"

"There you go being romantic again." Riley grunted as he stood up. "How can I say no?"

The fox perked. "U-uh? Let's go to the bathroom, then!"

Inside the bathroom was a similar scene to the VIP room, only it was just the two of them, of course, standing there facing each other in their underwear.

Nori was hugging himself. "Bad time to be self-conscious, huh?" He sighed, looking up and down at the carnivore's entire body. "Okay, I have another idea..."

"Oh? What's cooking up in that cute lil' noggin now?"

"Maybe we can close our eyes and get naked, then get in the water and hug like I said...and then open our eyes? Is this convoluted?"

"Maybe a little bit. You're cute when you're shy."

Nori covered his face. "Blehhhh..." He took a breath and with all his will, shut his eyes tightly and yanked down his underwear. And now it was all out.

Riley kept his head level so he couldn't see and did the same. He grabbed Nori and guided them both into the shower, which had already been running since Riley turned the water on when they got in.

The hot water hit them both and ran through their fur and Nori immediately felt calmer, clinging Riley closer and sure enough, there was the feeling he was looking for.

"Woah, hey. Ready to open your eyes yet?" Riley asked, looking down at him but not seeing anything since he was so close.

"Yeah," the fox opened them, seeing the round shoulder of his boyfriend as his head rested against him. He blinked as the water fell on them. "A carnivore is naked with me..."

"This is true." Riley rubbed his hands up and down Nori's back, brushing against his rump.

The fox moved so his chin was resting on Riley's chest. "Did I say I love you?"

Riley blinked a few times. "Uh, no, I don't think so..."

The fox huffed and moved his lower body closer as Riley continued to rub up and down his back, slowly. "Good..."

"Hm? Why, not ready yet?"

"...Everything's happening so fast but I'm so comfy and happy with it...With us..."

"Yeah..." Riley suddenly remembered what Nori had said about following someone home from the restaurant but he quickly squashed the thought. "Me too. We'll work..."

"Work on me..." Nori said, having the exact same thought. "So you can love me even though...you probably shouldn't..."

"I'll do my best." Then Riley stepped away, looking down at Nori and taking him all in. The wetness really showed off his body, which revealed some decent musculature.

The fox just looked at him and Riley couldn't help but notice his shy smile which was so unlike him, but made too much sense. "U-uh...so?"

"Exactly what I expected, honestly," Riley said.

"What! So I'm predictable!" Nori cried, back to his normal self.

"I expected you to be thoroughly cute. And you are!"

Nori whined. "Nooo...I'm supposed to be cute with clothes and sexy without!"

"Well, the wetness doesn't help. But yeah...yeah, you're sexy."

"Just a 'yeah you're sexy'? Come on! No way! I-I got muscles and shit!"

"Totally." Riley reached down to feel his pecs. "Again, I really like these."

"I really like that you do..." He hadn't said anything about Riley yet...But, boy, was he staring.

Riley got a bit self conscious and turned around. "Uh, there's the other side. You can see how my fur color changes...yeah."

Nori's eyes widened and before he was even thinking about it, he was pushing Riley against the wall, not hard enough to hurt him, but his chin went over his shoulder. "How fucking lucky I am," he breathlessly whispered.

"Ah, yeah? Uh, try not to make us slip," Riley warned, trying not to think about how his boyfriend was pinning him against a wall.

Nori pushed into him, his claws gripping his shoulder. "Oh, I won't let you fall, Riley~" He huffed softly, the coyote now out from under the water.

Riley squirmed a bit, unused to anyone being this attracted to him. It felt nice, but also a bit alarming. "So, are we gonna wash or are we just...doing this?"

Nori rubbed down to his butt. "Hm? You don't like it?"

"The water is a bit distracting, don't you think?"

Nori groaned. "Uuugh, come on Riley."

Riley laughed at his frustration. "It was your idea, so you do what you want to..."

The fox squeezed his tush. "Mmm not if you don't like it, Wiley."

"I, uh, like that," Riley said, after clearing his throat.

Nori pushed him against the wall further and bit his shoulder.

"Mmph, woah." Riley nearly melted into it, and he felt more pressure in his crotch. "You can keep going."

"Yeah? How about I—"

"Hello?! Noriii! Rileey!" Hachi called, now home. Neither of them had heard them come in.

They were both silent, eyes wide and heart racing. "Shower!" Riley called out after a moment.

Hachi blinked outside. "Where is Nori?"

Nori sighed, his bite disappearing from the coyote. "I'm...in here, too..."

"Ooohhhh! You are being romantic!"

"We'll get out," the fox stated, flatly.

Riley turned the water off, his tail wagging, slightly. He was upset to be interrupted, but happy that Hachi was back. He stepped out and got them both towels and moved over to the fur drier and started to use it on both of them.

Nori huffed. "Totally not fair..."

"There's always later," Riley offered. "I'm curious to see where that might go."

"At least we don't have to get dressed," Nori sighed. After drying, he didn't put anything on as he opened the door and appeared before Hachi.

Riley, on the other hand, left a towel tied around his waist.

The elk smiled widely and came over, wrapping them both up. "My friiiends! Beautiful animals!"

Nori smiled at the touch. He couldn't help it. "Hey, Hach. Uh...you're wet as fuck."

They giggled. "Hehe! Yes, I know! It is raining!"

The white animal blinked. "So you wanna shower first?"

"If that is okay?"

"Yeah, totally. And afterward, you'll really do that favor?"

"I have been excited ever since you told me! Yes!"

Riley made a face of realization. "Oh, you already asked them?"

Nori nodded. "Hell yeah!" He grabbed his towel and yanked it away.

Riley shrieked and covered himself. "I wasn't ready!"

Nori laughed and stood in front of him. "Go, Hach."

The elk giggled. "I am going!" They walked past them into the bathroom and the door shut with a click.

Nori pushed back against his boyfriend. "Gotcha."

"Yeah," he huffed with his arms crossed. "You did...so I guess the massages will happen in the bedroom."

"Yeah, they will. We have some time now..."

Riley grunted and made his way to his room, feeling Nori's gaze on his bare back.

"Should I close the door?" Nori asked, right on his tail. Literally, Riley could feel Nori against his tail.

"Uh, I guess if you feel it's necessary, sure."

He left the door wide open and smirked. "So~"

Riley moved to sit on the bed, his toned body apparent under his fluffy fur. He pat the spot next to him.

Instead, Nori came forward and made good on his promise of pouncing, gazing intently down into his eyes, his muzzle wrinkled a bit with ferocity.

Riley rolled onto his back and stared up at Nori. His heart pounded with excitement and just a little bit of fear, but he tried to extinguish it. "Must feel nice to do that to a carnivore bigger than you, huh?"

"Oh, it feels fucking amazing," Nori growled. "I could just devour you right now."

That got a chuckle from Riley. "Yeah? You ever have coyote meat before?"

"Mmm. Never," Nori moaned, his naked body straddling the bare carnivore, very warm against his soft fur.

Riley gulped and looked down. It had been years since he'd done anything sexual, and never with a guy. There was definitely a thrill to it.

The fox leaned down and licked across his neck. "This meal's all mine."

Riley chuckled and cleared his throat. "Yeah, uh...you aren't ever gonna kill me, right?"

Nori's face grew serious. "Why are you asking?"

The canine regretted saying that. "Well, because you said you used to, and I have no right to judge of course after what I did to Louis! It's just, well, is it something you can control?"

Nori sighed, rubbing his shoulders casually as he spoke. "Considering my sexual and killing urges are two sides of the same coin and I get them at the same time..."

Riley noticeably tensed up under him. "Do...do you think we're okay?"

"Okay?" Nori blinked, looking down at him, then adjusting to lay on him more casually with his arms on his chest.

"Like, safe." Riley laid his hands on the small of his back and rubbed him. "Is there anything I need to know or should do?"

"...Yeah. We'll be fine," Nori said. "Hachi and I will protect you now. If anyone is gonna die though, it'll be me."

Riley whined and hugged the fox close. "No...I don't want that."

Nori hugged him, moving his head back as he licked Riley's lips. "Just saying. You and Hachi should live a long and awesome life."

"But you should, too!" the coyote protested. "We can help you!"

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I haven't done it. Might just have to face the facts."

"But you can stop...You've never dated before, right?" Riley wasn't sure if this was going to sound stupid or not but he went ahead with it anyway. "Maybe...fulfilling your sexual desires will help keep the, uh, killing feeling down..."

The fox sighed. "That sounds stupid, huh? Ugh, sorry you had to get me...What an unlucky draw. I don't want to use you for sex, which I haven't even had yet..."

"It won't be using!" Riley urged. "There's more than that, I think. There has to be. And we're finding it."

"It's not using if I really, really, really, wanna have sex with you and uh...you do, too?"

Riley blushed. "Yeah..."

Nori huffed again. "Baby..."

The animal below him covered his face and smiled. "Uuugh, your voice..."

The other carnivore tilted his head. "My voice? What about it?"

"It can get so low...it's surprising."

"In a good way?" Nori moved his hand to stroke inside Riley's ear. "Does it make you like me more?" He wiggled his hips on him a bit.

Riley leaned into the touch and moaned. "It's definitely nice..."

The fox lowered his head again and began nibbling his neck, sensually. "Yeah...mmm..." His tongue flicked out against him again and again. "I could take you right now if I wanted...flip you over and just go right between your legs."

Riley shuddered and squeezed Nori tighter. "Just be careful..."

"Maybe carry you against the wall and have you howling..." More nibbles to his neck. "Take you on your side? Hachi could come in and see us..."

"I'd have to go out and get stuff first," Riley said, trying not to kill the mood in the process. It was true, though. He had virtually nothing that'd help them with intercourse.

Nori rubbed his cheek. "Mmm...there are ways to have fun without that..." His hand slipped down between his legs. "Hachi could find you on all fours with me milking you dry, claws digging into the bed..." Another bite.

Riley couldn't hold back a shaky laugh. "H-how the hell were you not gay before this weekend?"

"Shut up..." Nori whispered, grabbing his length. "I'd rather hear you begging..."

Riley reached down and grabbed Nori's cute butt. "Please..."

"Please what? Tell me," Nori demanded, biting a bit harder.

"Make me feel good," Riley managed to whisper out. "And let me do the same for you."

Nori pulled back and looked down at him as he began stroking his length. "Touch me however you want..."

The coyote responded by gripping his ass with one hand and the base of his tail with the other and rubbing his nose up in his chest.

"You like my chest, huh?" Nori huffed, rubbing his feet against his legs as he tried to push against him.

"And your butt," Riley's muffled voice said, squeezing again and thrusting up into his hand.

"Mmm...can't wait until you really see it..." Nori panted. "I can't stop looking at your eyes...you're so hot, Riley...mmn...my own carnivore..."

Riley kissed his collarbones and pressed into him more. "How long have you wanted this?"

"Mmm...not as long as I probably should have..." the fox muttered. "But I'm not ashamed."

Riley huffed and brought their mouths together, closing his eyes and soaking in the feeling. Once again he could't believe how quickly his life had changed since last week.

The white fox kissed him lovingly, the complete flipside of the intense and fiery kiss they shared at Roman's restaurant. "I just...I really, really, like you..." Maybe even...

"Mmm." Riley rolled them so they were lying on their sides, and he brought a leg up to wrap around Nori's body and gyrated his hips against him, all while kissing him again.

Nori repeated his actions from his side, the two making out still as passionately as before. "Do I like you too much?"

"I don't know...Am I really worth it?"

"I've thought about who you are a lot. I mean, you lost your friends and you're a garbage man and you know...they don't really go noticed. And that's why I like you. It's like I was digging in the ground and found gold because you shine so much inside for such an average outside. And, like, I feel like we can be content with each other and nobody will give a shit and we can finally let the trouble go..." He nosed him. "And I can just fall in love with you without worrying about it."

Tears formed quickly in Riley's eyes as he heard everything coming from Nori's mouth. "I-I want that, too."

The fox sighed, affectionately, heavily. "Why're you crying?"

"C-cuz I'm a freakin' crypuppy! I told you this!" Riley gripped Nori tighter.

"Well...I've lived a life of kills and thrills. I'm ready to blend into the crowd and live a life with no goal but to be happy together." He really hoped he didn't sound stupid.

"Y-yeah." Riley buried his face into Nori's shoulder. "No more kills..."

The fox rubbed down his back. "And I'm ready to love..."

Riley looked down at their naked bodies pressed against each other and took a deep breath. "Me, too."

"...And have sex."

"Absolutely."

Hachi squealed from the doorway. "Eeeeeee! You are married now!"

Riley jumped slightly and looked over. "Uh...I think there's a little more to it than that..."

"You are more than married?!" the elk's eyes were wide. Riley noticed that their towel was wrapped around their waist, but there was a very noticeable bump in the middle.

Riley sputtered. "I-I mean we can't be married without official papers and stuff!"

Nori nuzzled him. "But I think it's safe to say we're in love."

Riley nodded slowly, keeping Nori pressed against him because he liked the way it felt and also because he didn't want Hachi to see his boner flopping around.

The elk sighed, softly. "Very good. Now...let me massage you!"

Nori grinned, resting his head on his palm, an arm around his boyfriend. "Yeah? You still really wanna?"

"Oh yes! I'm dying to!"

The fox, feeling confidence surge within him, nodded his head forward a bit. "Lose the towel. We're all naked here."

Without even a second, Hachi dropped their towel.

Riley's jaw dropped, taking all of the elk in. He loved Nori of course, but this herbivore was just exquisitely built. How had he just stumbled upon these two animals by chance?

Said elk walked forward quickly, their very large penis swaying back and forth and they treated it like nothing, but they didn't even need to be told to start. Their hands were on Riley's shoulders before he could argue, massaging his muscles.

Nori sighed, removing his arm from him and laying on his side to watch the well-deserved care.

"I SHOULD GO ON MY STOMACH, RIGHT!?" Riley rolled so his back was facing up and he buried his face in his pillow, forcing himself not to look, all the while just tightening his muscles up even more.

Hachi blinked. "You're so silly, Riley." Their large hands just constantly kneaded him and it was so encapsulating and calming. "Let Hachi wash away your troubles. Like the rain."

"Th-thanks." Riley moved his head to the side to look at Nori, already feeling relaxed as his tail waved slowly in the air.

His mate just stared at him. "Make sure you get his butt."

The elk nodded. "Of course."

Nori carried a shit-eating grin, then.

Riley's face returned to the pillow.

A few minutes of shoulder and collarbone rubs, and Hachi moved down to his back, pressing and loosening his tense muscles. God, he needed this. When was the last time he even had a massage? Just imagining the big, naked elk standing so close and touching him that way...

Riley turned his head the other way to gaze at Hachi's face, into their large, beautiful eyes as they stared down at him and did their work. His flustered feelings before were now dormant, relaxed now under the gentle orange glow of his lava lamp.

Hachi leaned down. "Thank you for giving us a home and a friend." They came back and their strong hands continued to care for him.

Nori watched closely. He knew the next destination was Riley's butt and he needed to know the reaction the coyote would make.

And before he knew it, it was time. Hachi slid their hands down to his two soft cheeks and squeezed and kneaded them as if they were dough, giving genuine love and care to them.

Hachi themself wasn't even looking at what was constantly revealed with each cheek movement like an animal like Nori might; they were looking at Riley's face to see if he stayed smiling the whole time.

Riley pressed his cheek into the pillow and gazed up. "Are ass massages really a thing that are given a lot?"

Hachi looked down, grinning. "For special animals like you and Nori."

"And you don't feel weird touching my butt?"

"It's soft and part of you." For a moment, his cheeks were spread and held there and it was unclear if the elk was doing it on purpose.

"I could ask them to massage your dick," Nori smirked.

Hachi's ears perked. "Do you need a massage there?" They were clearly ready and willing.

Riley's voice raised a couple of octaves as he answered. "That's something entirely different!"

Hachi laughed. "I can adapt, Riley." Their hands moved down to squeeze and care for his legs.

Riley moaned and squeaked as he was touched, much to the other animals' delight but for entirely different reasons.

Nori wanted to sleep with him so badly.

Hachi finished his legs and moved down to his feet, massaging each one and moving them in circles one by one. They bent each toe of his until they cracked, making sure not to cut their hand on his claws. He got the full treatment.

"Mmmmmm...where...where did you learn to do this?" the newly relaxed carnivore asked.

"I read," Hachi said. "Ichi had me learn to massage him and then he did not like being touched..."

Riley rolled his head around on the pillow. "Mmm...he's a fool."

"A fucking idiot, yeah. Hach, come here. I'm eager for mine," Nori smiled.

Hachi eagerly walked over and did the entire massage they had given Riley to the fox, the coyote able to watch his boyfriend be taken care of by the massively attractive herbivore.

Riley laid back and enjoyed the show, but what he really wanted was to have his hands on both of them. To hear the noises they could both make.

Nori was smiling endlessly as he was taken care of and, as his own feet were finished, Hachi got on the bed, shifting the weight. "Lay on your back, Nori. I have a nice idea to massage you a bit more."

The faux fox's eyes opened and he blinked. "Uh, okay." He did as they said and Hachi slid their hands up his thighs and began rubbing his stomach. There was no word on how both animals were hard.

Riley got to watch as Hachi's hands moved up and moved in circles around Nori's pecs. The position they were both in made his heart leap around.

"Uh, um." He held a finger up. "That's...that looks rather intimate?"

Hachi didn't say anything, their eyes fixed on Nori, becoming half-lidded.

The fox, completely melting with the touch, found his own eyes growing half-lidded.

Both animals wouldn't stop smiling at the other.

Riley complained. "C-can I have that treatment, too?"

"Mhm..." Hachi nodded, slowly. And before any animal saw it coming, they leaned down and connected their lips with Nori, who kissed them back, gingerly. Their large length cascaded over his smaller one.

Riley's heart leapt, but he figured he wouldn't get any answers if he asked. The elk was clearly a wild card. And out of nowhere, too.

Hachi put a hand on Nori's cheek, closing their eyes. The other animal did the same.

Riley was really looking at this. This was really happening. His mind rescinded his previous conclusion. "S-so have you guys kissed before?"

Hachi pulled back and looked at him, blinking. "No."

The elk looked back down at him. "You guys are in love and kiss but I have loved Nori since taking care of him on the streets...I wanted him to know."

The fox sat up, eyes bulging. "Wuh?! The whole time?!" He crossed his arms. "You both have trash taste."

Riley snickered and he rubbed Nori's head. "Aww, you just deserve it!"

The elk pulled Riley over. "Let us kiss, too."

The coyote's ears practically flapped. "O-oh! Uh, yeah!"

Hachi grinned and pulled him onto their lap, grabbing his legs and putting them around them. The elk began rubbing his stomach. "Just like Nori." Their penis leaned against his.

Riley gripped their large biceps, staring at their attractive chest. "So you...you can just do this with anyone?"

"Just my favorite animals," they said. "I do not want to do this with anyone but you and Nori." There go the hands up to his chest, brushing across his nipples.

Riley's tail wagged behind him and he leaned up to smooch Hachi on the cheek, wordlessly.

The elk grabbed his cheek and moved to kiss his lips.

Riley parted his lips and let Hachi do the work, afraid to cut them with his fangs.

But the kiss was over all too fast. "There we go."

"Mm, yeah," Riley grunted. He glanced over to Nori. The fox was grinning like a goof. His boyfriend crawled over and embraced him, tightly, face back in his chest. "Mmm...today was amazing."

The fox rubbed his back, grazing him with his claws. "Meat date: Success."

"Very much so," Riley agreed. He turned back to the elk. "Hachi...did you find anything interesting on your walk?"

The elk giggled. "Maybe! It is a surprise!"

"Think you just found wetness."

The elk shook their head. "Hee hee!"

Nori laid back. "So, I didn't see Hachi being in love with me coming. Did you know?" He asked the coyote in his arms.

"I think they have a different idea of love," Riley said and looked back at them. "Right? It's not very romantic for you, is it?"

The elk laughed. "Yes it is! I love Nori like you do!"

"A-and how's that?"

"Like a mate! Except, we are not together!"

Nori shook his head. "This has gotta be a dream. What the hell."

"Do you want to have sex with him?" Riley questioned further.

"Do you?"

Riley just nodded.

"Then yes!" Hachi chirped.

"You're really just basing it off how I feel?"

"He has a very nice butt!" The elk blushed. "It is small! I have seen it a lot!"

"He is very handsome." Riley pinched his cheek, resisting the urge to say 'what about me?'.

Nori raised a brow. "Are you both secretly blind?!"

Hachi shook their head. "I can see very clearly...when I have my glasses!"

"And my doctor says my eyesight is quite good, actually," Riley added.

The fox squinted. "Fuuuuck you two."

"In due time." Riley laid back on the bed and breathed out. "But I think for now I just wanna be with you two."

Hachi laid next to him, assuming it was okay to rub his chest again. "We were going to be together tonight anyway, Riley."

"I know, but it's, like, late afternoon. I'm not going to bed for a few more hours."

"We all would have been here," Hachi responded.

"Mmph." Riley stared up at the ceiling, once again appreciating what had been given to him. He nearly forgot the storm raging outside.
