Chapter 95 - The Prettiest Animals

Once everyone was finished eating, the group wished Riley a farewell, but not before exchanging numbers, then returning to the tower, where no one was guarding the door, strangely.

Pina looked around. "Uh, that's not a good sign, is it?"

Nori shrugged. "Let's go hang out in the game room."

Louis blushed and looked at his boyfriend. "Actually, uh..."

"We're gonna be spending alone time if you catch my drift." Pina nudged Louis and winked. "We'll have time to hang out later, guys."

Hachi grabbed Nori's shoulders. "Come on, Nori."

The red panda huffed. "Fiiine..."

Hachi smiled at them one more time before carting Nori off elsewhere.

Louis became visibly less tense and he sighed. "I thought this moment would never come."

"The night is still young, boo. Now let's go. Hope you don't mind the lack of privacy a cell provides. Maybe Hachi and Nori will cover for us?" Pina walked through the door, locking it behind them.

Louis sighed. "Eh, who cares who sees at this point. Ichi finds out, he'll be even happier on top of the Chimera thing."

"Oh, we could play music, too!" Pina suggested.

"You ruined the surprise..."

"Ah, but first~" Pina smiled. "I'm gonna go freshen up and prepare for you."

Louis nodded. "Alright, I'll be in the cell." He made his way to Pina's cell rather eagerly, and as soon as he got inside and shut the cell door, Louis laid down on the bed, waiting.

Pina returned after his shower, wearing the same clothes as before. He didn't care that he hadn't changed clothes, he only showered to get ready for Louis. Once he entered the cell, Louis gave him a very particular look.

Pina couldn't help but shrink back, slightly. "Ah, I guess I'm at your mercy now~"

Louis looked him up and down, then smiled, already feeling the mood rise. "If I took my clothes off and walked around, would you care, even though I could be seen?"

Pina shook his head. "No. We should show off our toned bodies we got from training."

Louis was already removing his shirt. "Good, I've been wanting to get out of this all day."

"Yeah, you wanted to show the whole BAM that wiener of yours, I bet." Pina began removing his own clothes.

"Or just you," Louis whispered, dropping his shirt and unbuttoning his pants. "Good thing I left the makeup here. It's all on you."

"Not yet it isn't." The sheep went over to the bag and brought it over.

Louis pulled off his underwear and socks next and then grabbed his phone, looking for a particular album. "Also, I heard you were suffering from buck withdrawal? I might have some medicine for that."

Pina sat with the bag, cross-legged and smiling eagerly. "Oh, sounds wonderful~"

The deer made a small "aha!" as he found the album and he set his phone down on the bed. It was, of course, a metal album. He moved next to the sheep, crossing his legs as well. "So...I guess you're going to paint your nails first?"

"You could try," Pina suggested. "It's not hard, and we should do each other's anyway."

"You want me to do yours...?" Louis said, scratching his neck. "I don't want to mess up anything."

"It doesn't really matter. It's for fun." Pina leaned forward and nuzzled him.

The buck rubbed his nose against him. "Alright. Just for you. What color would you like?"

"Mix it up. Rainbow, baby!"

"You want rainbow?" Louis blinked. "I guess I did buy all those colors..." He grabbed Pina's hand and looked down at his nails. "I can't stop smiling..."

"Then don't," Pina said, also smiling.

Louis reached into his satchel and took out the red nail polish. "So, what do I do? Isn't it supposed to smell strong?"

"Yeah. You just deal with it."

Louis nodded, untwisting the cap and looking at the bottom of it, realizing there was a brush there. "Oh, I see." His head looked back at Pina's nails, and then past his hand to his crotch which was out in the open. It was so good being casually naked.

The deer dipped the brush in the red paint and lifted it up carefully, letting the excess paint drip off. "Where do I put the bottle while I do this? Can't put it on the bed..."

"Just on the floor there. Don't kick it."

Louis set the small bottle down and brought the brush back up to Pina's left thumb, painting gently, looking down and grinning as he worked.

"Mmm." Pina closed his eyes, enjoying the cool feeling while headbanging softly to the music. He felt so content at that moment.

The buck sighed. "So I'll make both of your thumbs red and then go down the colors and match each finger." His nose wiggled. "I don't mind the smell."

"Yeah. I can't imagine what it's like for carnivores, although their claws would look lovely painted," Pina swooned at the thought.

"Mhmm...I'll save some of this for Legosi..." Louis said. "So, do I only need one dip per nail or do I dip twice?"

"One should be enough, as long as it's generous," Pina informed. His tail swept happily behind him.

Louis adjusted and looked at his work. "That looks even. I did rather well." He reached back down to grab the bottle and dip the brush again, then he started on the other thumb. "This feels so intimate..."

"I know, right? It's nuts." Pina grinned down at his nails. "You know what colors you want, yet?"

"I thought I might take a page out of my beautiful sheep's book and try black," Louis whispered. "Also, this isn't nuts. Those are," Louis pointed with his nose at Pina's groin and a dumb smile.

"Oh shit, you're right! Who dropped these?" Pina reached down with his free hand and fondled himself. "Litter is rampant nowadays..."

"You're lucky my hands are busy," Louis huffed, watching the movement. "You know...we don't have to go further than this." He leaned down and then pulled out the orange nail polish, beginning his work on Pina's pointer finger.

"Further than putting nail polish on naked?" Pina asked.

"Mhm," Louis whispered, nodding his head to the music as he painted. "I have some really nice plans for tonight and I do want to finally take you, but we don't have to."

Pina clicked his tongue. "Why wouldn't I want that? It's been in my head ever since you hinted at it."

The deer shrugged. "Just being considerate of you, sweetheart." He dipped the brush again and began painting his other pointer finger. "How is the album? I found it and knew it would be perfect for this."

"It's pretty sick! Heavy, yet melodic in all the right ways. And it's purely instrumental so it's great to have in the background." Pina leaned down and kissed his hand.

Louis sighed. "You're very hot right now, by the way." He couldn't help himself.

"You, too," Pina whispered. "Ooo, this orange is really nice."

"Thank you. Your advice really helped," Louis said. Now, it was time for yellow, which he administered to Pina's middle finger. "Anything you want to talk about? I like your voice quite a bit."

"Would it be weird to talk about Legosi and Bill on our date?" Pina asked.

"I don't think so," Louis rolled his eyes. "Now, if I were inside of you..."

"Oh, yeah I definitely won't bring them up then," Pina laughed. "But seriously, I was dying when Bill stopped our session to call Legosi. That dude is smitten."

"Weren't you dying anyway because of the session?" Louis asked, moving to the other hand.

"Not at that point," Pina defended. "And it was a learning experience in the end! But god, am I looking forward to having you. Bill's the only guy I've been with so I wanna broaden that."

"I'm nervous about it. I don't want to disappoint you." He felt his length growing as he talked. Weird how that worked. "Mmm...I'm very eager to try my best, though. All that sappy shit."

"You're able to please a big wolf, I think you'll do fine with me," Pina assured with a wink.

"Mmm..." Louis licked across Pina's lips. "Mm, yes...I will." Time for green. He grabbed the bottle and began the work. "I have some surprises in mind."

Pina fluttered his eyelids. "Well, I'll just have to keep my mouth shut so I don't guess what they are~"

"Good. How is it looking so far?"

"Very gay. Keep going."

The deer chuckled, finishing that nail, gathering more green, and working on the other ring finger.

Pina stretched his legs out. "Hmm, I guess the last one will either be blue or purple. Too bad I don't have six fingers."

"I don't know how I'd feel about that. I was thinking blue, though."

"The purple will just have to go on my eyelids," Pina supposed, fluttering them again.

"You always have the ideas I do," Louis whispered, grabbing blue next.

"Because we're both smart as hell," Pina stated, proudly. "Now blue me, boo."

"I could leave and blue ball you," Louis said, looking up, seriously.

Pina stared back just as seriously before snorting and cracking up. "Oh my god! What happened to you hating puns?"

"I still do, but it was too good to lose."

"That's what they all say, but you're a whore for puns. Pun whore." Pina stuck his tongue out.

Louis stopped on the last pinky finger. "I might just leave this one unfinished, then."

"Okay, seriously, that would be worse than you denying me dick."

"Wow, this isn't helping your case."

Pina looked away and sighed, sadly. "Oh...I guess I'll just...have to spend the night with one pinky unpainted, and unfilled..."

"Darn, sucks to be you," Louis said, putting the blue brush back in the bottle. "I guess I'll just take my metal music and my dick and go home."

Pina took a breath, pretending to hold back a sob.

"Oh, please," Louis crossed his arms.

Pina took a gasp of breath as he pretended to cry. "I gu-guess my nails will n-never be complete!"

"That's what you're worried about? Sheesh!"

"And your COCK! OH!" Pina raised his head and wailed.

Louis' lips curled into a smile and he began chuckling, which turned into a harder laugh.

"And now you're laughing at the poor, crippled sheep who has been left without dick!"

"I'm sorry! It's just..." He snorted. "It's funny! You sound ridiculous!"

Pina's voice switched to normal in an instant. "I mean I am an actor. So are you. You try something."

Louis tapped his chin, then he turned, adopting an accent. "Oh, Pina. I just can't do this with you anymore! It's one thing to make each of your nails a different color, but you're more worried about me finishing the job than our first time?" He put a hand to his forehead. "Oh, woe is me! My poor broken heart! I must abscond to my cell to curl up on my bed and let out the tears!"

Without missing a beat, Pina adopted a similar tone and responded. "Oh but you are mistaken, dear Louis! For I am a modest man and would never utter such vulgarity aloud, but if you must know I do very much wish for you to finish me, if you are aware of the colloquialism."

"Indeed, I am and I may be able to provide!" He pretended to reach into his fake jacket and then pretended to hold a car. "Call this company, my dear. They'll finish you by appointment."

Pina scoffed. "You think me a common whore? I will not be...finished by just any animal. I have chosen..." He reached out and stroked the bottom of Louis' chin as his voice became soft. "...You."

Louis exhaled through his nose and he seemed to drop his act for a moment, before leaning back. "My, what a shocking twist of events! I suppose I must oblige!"

"W-wonderful!" Pina's façade was also cracking, as he began to absorb the absurdity of what they were saying coupled with the activity they were doing and, to top it off, the melodic death metal playing in the background.

"I must oblige...fully~" Louis purred.

Pina brought an arm up to his forehead. "Oh, you're givin' me the vapors!" he proclaimed in an entirely different accent.

"Vapors?" Louis blinked.

"Yeah! That's something old-timey people said."

"Huh. Okay, enough messing around. I'll finish your nail because it's oh so important to you." He grabbed the bottle of blue nail polish again and began his final work on Pina's nails.

"God, are you gonna edge me like that later, too?" Pina asked.

"We'll see what happens," Louis said, finally finishing. "There. How did I do?"

Pina held his hands out in front of him and smiled. "They look fucking awesome! Good job, boo."

Louis blushed, slightly. "I'm so glad you like it. I did my best."

"I'll let these dry off a bit then we can go for yours. Still black?"

"Still black." Louis looked down at his own plain nails. "I hope it looks good."

"Black looks good on everyone, don't worry," Pina assured. "Go fetch it, would you?"

The deer got up and went to grab it, his tail twitching behind him as he did so.

"Okay, sit where you were and I can get started." Pina sat up more and leaned forward.

The deer came back and sat down, crossing his legs. "It won't take as long, I'm guessing. One color."

"Precisely. You can hold them all out for me then."

The deer did so, smiling. "Are you enjoying the album? I really like it so far..."

"Oh, definitely! I'll need to relisten to it sometime with earphones in." Pina dipped the brush into the black and brought it out, starting with Louis' right middle finger.

"Why the middle finger first?" Louis blinked.

"Because I'm crazy," Pina said in a serious tone.

Louis just laughed at this, looking at the work on Pina's nails. "How long do you plan on keeping them like that?"

"Until they wash off," Pina stated, moving to Louis' left pinky.

"Wow, you really have no method to this," the deer blinked. "It's just like you."

"Hey, I have great plans. Also, they're all gonna be the same color so I'm just following my heart."

"Fine...I won't question your method."

"You'd better not," Pina mumbled as he went down to one of Louis' toenails.

"What are you doing?" The deer raised a brow.

"You said yourself it'd take shorter, so I'm extending the range," Pina stated, simply.

"Mmmm... Fine..."

Pina looked down, spotting the '4' brand on his right foot. "Huh, I've never seen it before..."

Louis moved his foot and looked down at the brand there. "I wanted to forget that it was there but this cult keeps me from doing it."

"Maybe there's some way to remove it. Like, lasers or something," Pina suggested, now fully committed to painting his toenails.

"It's not worth the trouble. I don't care that much. It's more the weight the brand carries that's still with me. The first time I slept with Legosi, I really thought I was letting it go and becoming...me."

Pina sighed. "Yeah, this place is like poison for you."

"It's literally the last direction I expected my life to go."

"Well, at least I'm here to help you through it." Pina finished up with his toes a few moments later and kissed his nose.

Louis looked down at them. "They look...nice." He held his fingers back out.

Pina continued coloring them in his previously haphazard way. "Yeah, it looks better on the fingers, I agree."

Louis shrugged. "I like it because it's you doing it. Makeup is a part of you so it's nice for me to be experiencing that part."

"Yeah, even if I haven't been able to wear it at all lately. Thanks again for getting this stuff." Louis' hands were almost done.

"Of course. I'm always happy to." Louis looked at the work. "Almost done?"

Pina finished up and screwed the cap back on the nail polish bottle and observed his work. "Hmm...goth deer."

"Not yet. I want that eye makeup...uh...sheepie," he tried.

The sheepie made a face. "Ah, doesn't fit for you. Sorry, boo."

Louis sighed. "I know. I figure I'd give it a shot."

Pina laughed and retrieved the eyeshadow. "I'll go first so you can have some sort of idea on how to do it."

The deer put a hand on Pina's knee. "Don't you need a mirror for that?"

"If you're doing it alone, yeah." Pina leaned forward and hummed. "So...eyepatch off or..."

"Uh, not yet..." Louis whispered.

"Alright, sweetheart," Pina whispered back. "I'll just do the other one, then."

Louis leaned forward a bit in anticipation. "We need to make sure to let the paint on our nails dry, right?"

Pina looked at his nails and sighed. "Always my least favorite part. I get so impatient, and right now it's gonna be even worse."

"How long do we have to wait?"

"Like an hour or so before they're fully dry. It's a pain in the ass, but it'll be an even bigger pain in my ass if you stick them up there while they're not totally dry." Pina put the eyeshadow down and laid on his back.

Louis snorted and let out a laugh. "Hm. So what should we do until then? Maybe we could listen to more music and just relax?"

"Yeah. We deserve it." Pina placed his hands on his chest and closed his eyes. "So, Hachi and Nori are buds now. It's a promising development."

"It is. He needs someone other than us to help him. And they don't seem like they want to kill him, which is another good sign." Then, he turned his head. "Why did you out yourself?"

"You think it was a bad idea?" Pina asked, eyes still closed.

"I think it was a crazy one. We never know what could happen. I didn't think they would know until this was over."

"Well, you heard what Nori said, right? He feels better about all of this now that he knows we've known each other for a while. Plus, his reaction to learning about polyamory was pretty funny."

"He said a completely made up word..." Louis whispered. "Whubujuh? Wujuhbuh? Wuhuhjub?"

"I don't know, but it was cute. Also got to meet that Riley fellow, although we didn't talk much." Pina fiddled with his hands, wanting to touch the deer next to him but unable to due to the nail polish.

Louis nodded and grinned a bit. "And Hachi will be his friend which is good. And then we're having our night..."

Pina chuckled. "Yup, we sure are." He stared down at his nails. "C'mon, dry faster!"

"Yelling won't do anything," Louis said, rolling his eyes. He scooted closer, their arms brushing together. "At least we can be this close."

"True that. Can't hold hands though." Pina relaxed his muscles, letting the heavy yet melodic sound of the music wash over him.

Louis exhaled. "I'm pretending we are, don't worry about it."

"Your pretend hand is so pretend warm," Pina purred.

"Mmm, I know. Your pretend hand's pretend claws are nice against the back of mine."

"Oh wow, double pretend there," Pina laughed. "If I had claws you'd cum instantly."

"Legosi has claws and I don't and he's a canine."

"Yeah...wonder what he and Bill are doing now."

"Banging each other's brains out, I'd say," Louis stated.

"Hope Sebun is out for the night," Pina joked. "Seriously, though, he seems really invested in Legosi. Never saw this coming when he just talked about trying to kiss him."

"Neither did I. At least our mates have something to distract themselves with while we're together."

"It's good for them, too," Pina added. "Aside from just that. I'm happy for Bill."

"Me, too. I hope you don't feel any sort of jealousy that he's so focused on Legosi, though."

"He talked to me about it," Pina explained. "Said he and Legosi haven't talked that much throughout their friendship so he wants to make up that time now. I think it's sweet."

"I'm glad. And now they're both in the Shishigumi, too. You don't think Bill did that just to be with Legosi more, right?"

"That was definitely part of it, but mostly it was what he said: he wants to help you guys."

"Figured you would have talked about it alone," Louis said. "Did he say anything else?"

"Nope, that was pretty much it." Pina let out a slow breath, absolutely calm.

"Mmmhmm..." Louis felt tired, but peaceful, despite the raging music in the background. This was a nice night. Normal even, apart from being in a cell. But even if he was in a cell, he was in a cell with Pina.

The album had ended ten minutes ago when Pina opened his eyes and looked over at Louis. He was asleep, just as he might have been. He looked at his nails, then the stag's and determined they were dry enough. He rolled over on top of Louis and kissed him sweetly on the mouth.

The buck's eye opened as he saw Pina's beautiful ones staring back at him, eagerly. "Mmm...?"

"Nails are done, love. Time for the eyeshadow," he said, sweetly.

"What happened?" Louis blinked. "Did I really fall asleep?"

"You did, sleepy." Pina booped his nose. "You can stay laying down while I apply the makeup if you want."

"Mmmm...I don't want to fall asleep again." He tried sitting up.

"Good idea." Pina reached for the eyeshadow. "Alright, here I come~"

"So, do I just close my eye while you work?"

"Yeah. But first..." Pina reached for the phone and tapped away on it. "This is my favorite prog rock album. It always sounds like a journey."

Louis' ears perked. "Ooh! I'm ready for this."

The music started and Pina came forward with his fuzzy brush, approaching his eye.

Louis breathed softly. "Mind if I..." He moved his hand forward to rub Pina's thigh. "Oh, our nails are dry, right?"

"Yeah~"

The buck returned to stroking.

In turn, Pina stroked across his eyelid, coloring the fine fur and skin there purple. "No eyeliner but that's okay."

"Sorry...I had no idea what to buy..."

"That's fine...and there'll be a next time, too," Pina promised.

Louis' ears perked again as he continued moving his hand against Pina's thigh. "Mmm...I have to deal with you painting my nails sporadically again?"

"You didn't think that was charming and quirky?"

Louis just looked at him, blankly, interrupting the brush process. "Please."

"Oh, since you asked so nicely I'll do it again for you." Pina cracked a wide smile, his teeth showing clearly.

Louis shut his eye. "Just continue. It's one eye."

And continue Pina did. It didn't take too long before he was done, and when he was he brought his personal mirror over to Louis.

Louis blinked, tilting his head left and right. "Oh, wow...So this is what I look like..."

"Yes. Beautiful. Now if only you had those antler ornaments..."

"Shame..." Louis sighed.

"Alright, time to do mine." Pina handed the stuff over to Louis and closed his eyes.

The deer blinked. "I, uh...didn't really see what you did."

"But you felt it," the sheep pointed out. "It doesn't really matter if you screw up, anyway."

"Uh...alright..." He took the brush and followed Pina's example as best as he could. "I, unfortunately, have two eyes to work with."

"Yeah, not really fair, huh? Don't worry, I believe in you." Pina put on his best encouraging voice.

"Mmm..." The buck began brushing his eyelid, gently, hoping he did a good job. "Apologies if I mess this up."

"Honestly, whatever you end up messing up will be forgiven after~"

Louis reddened. "I just woke up so my mind is barely working..."

"Mmm, hope you're not too tired for what's next. My heart's racing just knowing it's coming..."

"Oh, don't worry. I'm going to deliver, no matter what." Louis continued the work. "You're going to look so gorgeous I might not be able to help myself."

"You're so used to having sex with a big, muscular body. Hope you'll be gentle with me~" Pina hummed along with the music after saying that.

"You were literally plowed by a big tiger for hours two days ago," Louis stated, point-blank.

"All the more reason to treat me like a delicate flower~"

Louis huffed. "Moving on to your other eye. I think that looks good."

"Guess I'll see, then. No rush."

"Ohhh, right." Louis grabbed the personal mirror and lifted up. "Any work needed?"

The sheep's eyes fluttered open and he looked at himself in thought. "Hmm, yeah, you need to do the other eye."

"Oh, alright." Louis began doing the other eye of Pina's, leaning forward as he did so.

Pina was trying his best not to vibrate with excitement. After this...it would begin, right?

Louis had his left hand on Pina's shoulder as his right hand worked. "After this, you're going to be the first and a half most beautiful animal in the world."

"Ahahaa, I get it." Pina swayed back and forth, slightly.

"Sorry. No one beats my wolf."

"Still, that's the first time I heard 'first and a half' as a placement."

"Ever? Truly?" Louis leaned back. "It's finished."

Pina's eyes shot open and he grabbed his mirrror. "Oh, not half bad!" He touched his cheek and twirled his wool.

Louis sat back. "Not bad for being a tired buck." He set the supplies down and then laid back on the pillow. "Hm, hm..."

"You keep complaining about that." Pina put the mirror down and crawled over. "You sure you're up for it?"

"I promise I am." He rubbed his eye. "Once it starts, I'll wake up really quickly."

"Sounds good~" Pina circled a finger on his chest.

Louis grinned. "Hmmm...I did a good job. You're stunning. Though, you don't need the makeup for that."

"Helps, though." Pina scooted closer, stroking his cheek. "So lovely. I did a good job on you."

"You're the expert. I expected nothing less. I'm lucky you didn't make me look like a clown when I fell asleep," he teased. "Honk, honk."

"Hah!" Pina reached out and squeezed his nose. "Honk honk! Cutie."

Louis leaned up. "Come here."

"That's what I like to hear~" Pina came forward and straddled the deer's lap with his hands placed on his shoulders.

Louis grinned and he reached up, gripping Pina's horns and pulling him down so their lips connected and locked.

Pina moaned into it and wrapped his arms and legs around him tighter, their smooth tongues twisting around each other.

Louis' heart began it's quick beating. This was going to be quite different than what it's like sleeping with a carnivore. He was excited, but understandably nervous. His hands wandered up and down Pina's legs as he continued to kiss him, deeply.

Pina massaged him as well and grinded slowly against him as they made out.

Louis pulled away, but their noses stayed touching. His hand slid down to Pina's metal prosthetic. "Should I take this off?"

"Yeah, Kai doesn't like this sort of thing. We'll be considerate."

"Turn around so it's easier," Louis said.

"Yeah, and so you can get a good look at the goods~" Pina turned around and placed his butt on Louis' stomach, rubbing against it.

The deer blushed and chuckled, working at the strap. "I'm getting good at removing this."

"I'll have to start to time you. I expect you go get it off i half a second by the end of the year."

"It's a bet. What's the reward?" He undid the strap and took the leg off, moving it off the bed and setting it down.

Pina's tail whapped Louis, gently. "Continuing to date a kickass boyfriend."

"So, if I fail, it's over? Good stakes," Louis teased, rubbing his thumbs on Pina's hips.

"Mmm, your hands are warm."

"Just like they were in your imagination..."

"I hope everything else coming up is as good as it was in my imagination~"

Louis felt his excitement perk up at that. "Heh...would you mind bending forward so I can get a better look?"

"Oh, of course. You haven't seen this part of me, really." Pina bent forward, his ass and balls on display.

Louis huffed, rather intensely. "Mmm..." His hands began wandering, feeling up everything and kneading Pina's cheeks. "So...you really trust me enough to do this?"

"Absolutely," Pina said, voice unwavering.

"And you're fine with me doing anything?"

"God, I could write a book with all the things me and Bill have done. Do your worst!"

"I'm not quite like Bill, if that's alright."

"And that's why I'm excited!"

Louis' hand ran down the back of Pina's thigh. "May I try something?"

"Hell yeah."

Louis gripped his hips then, rather intensely.

"Ah~" Pina's voice went up a few more octaves than usual.

Louis pulled him forward, landing Pina's butt right on his muzzle. Immediately, the deer's tongue began lapping.

Pina gasped at the smoothness of the feeling, entirely unlike what he was used to. He arched his back up and threw his head back, biting his lip.

Louis gripped the cheeks on his face and spread them, siding his tongue over the sheep's entrance again and again. Lower, his own excitement twitched in response.

Pina's hands soon found it, rubbing and kneading at it, idly, as he enjoyed the feeling in his behind.

Louis noted that it was interesting that sheep definitely tasted different than wolf. He reminded himself not to compare the two, though. They were just...different. His legs bent up as he continued his assault.

Pina started to pump Louis' shaft with a finger on his tip, moaning softly. He didn't have any words.

The deer's legs bent more in response and he pulled Pina down against him as he pressed his tongue into the other herbivore.

"Mmph, fuck," Pina gasped as he rocked his hips back and forth, rubbing his own erection across Louis' chest.

The deer grew a bit more. He really was big for an herbivore. Interesting to think about how that had been inside a large wolf numerous times. Thankfully, this would be no trouble for the sheep. In fact it'd probably be a small respite.

Louis panted and moved his hips up and down at the pumping, pushing his tongue in deeper and making small noises. If any animal walked by the cell at that moment, it would be quite the sight.

Pina attempted to find his wits. "D-damn! Who knew a tongue that made such sh-shitty puns could-ah-do something like this?"

Louis panted, spreading his cheeks even further. "Mhmhmhm~"

"God, yeah. Spread me. Get me ready for this." Pina stroked the length in his hand.

Louis moaned softly and pushed ever so deeper. "Mmmh~"

Pina gasped and grit his teeth. He hated to admit it, but he bet Louis could get him off this way with just a few more minutes.

The deer moved to grip his inner thighs, digging his black nails in just a bit as Pina bounced on his muzzle.

The sheep pushed back and moved his hips in a circular motion, taking in all he could from this ride.

Louis somehow got his long tongue as deep as he could, squeezing Pina's thighs more.

He let out a slow breath through his mouth and slapped Louis' thigh with his hand several times to cope, his toes curling next to Louis' head.

The stag pulled back after this endeavor, panting, his hand sliding to glide up Pina's back.

Pina caught his breath before looking back at the deer. "Ah, looks like sheep is your favorite herbivore to eat?"

Louis chuckled and pushed Pina onto his stomach, sliding his chest against his back and kissing his neck as he pushed his hips against him.

"Ohhh~" Pina relaxed, leaving himself at the mercy of the deer. "C'mon, boo. Show me what you had planned~"

"Mmmm...Planning on it..." He moaned into his ear, grinding against him, and rubbing his hands wherever he could.

"Mmm, you like how my wool feels? It's always softest after a shower."

"I really do..." Louis panted hot breath into his ear.

Pina squirmed, slightly, loving the feeling of being pinned underneath the buck. "Does it feel like you caught your prey?"

"It always does," Louis growled, pressing harder.

"Even though I've only been under you, like, two times before."

"I meant when I pin you or Legosi and anyway, it won't feel like I caught my prey until I do this." He grabbed both of his arms and turned Pina around, pinning his arms to the bed and looking deep into his eyes.

Pina looked up, eyes wide and mouth open slightly while blushing. Once again the stag had rendered him speechless.

"How is this, my little prey?~"

Pina blinked his eyes rapidly and moved against Louis' grasp weakly, obviously not trying to get away. "Oh, seems like I got myself caught...Clumsy me..."

"Mmm...close your eyes and don't open them until I say. Stay still."

Pina did so without a word, the makeup on his eyelids on full display.

Louis huffed and then all at once, his weight and presence completely disappeared.

Pina sighed, feeling his erection throb at the lost sensation. He hoped Louis wouldn't be away long. It felt like forever started passing, even though it wasn't that much time.

Pina began to hum along to the music that was still playing, kicking his right leg up and reaching his stump toward the ceiling.

"Don't move," Louis said from somewhere nearby.

"I wouldn't dream of it, After all, you caught me fair and square."

"Count down from 10 to 0."

"Alright." Pina cleared his throat. "10. 9. 8. 7. 6..." He stopped himself. "Hey, I'm just doing a Branded roll call!"

Suddenly, the weight was back and Pina's wrists were being pinned again. "Eyes open."

Those aqua eyes were once again showing, and what Pina saw made him gasp.

Louis was looking down at him, smiling. The golden stars that hung from his antlers twinkled as they spun. It was clear that he had spent some time weaving the golden chains around his antlers in a neat way, rather than just throwing them over. His star earrings returned as well.

Pina brought a hand up to his mouth while the other one reached up, cupping the decorations, softly. "Louis..."

"Pina..." The deer spoke as soft as he could.

Pina's hand drifted down to his eyepatch, stroking it.

"You're...so beautiful..." the buck whispered. "I don't wear these unless it's special."

"So beautiful..." Pina repeated.

The buck moved his hand to caress his cheek. "I just wanted to show you how much everything you do means to me. How much I care about you."

The sheep swallowed, unable to say anything. He continued to stroke the eyepatch.

Louis just searched Pina's eyes, his soul. His look said everything. He truly loved him.

Pina finally found his words. "Louis...can I take this off?"

"There's no eyeshadow on that one..."

"I know," Pina giggled.

Louis nodded, slowly. "Go ahead..."

Pina pulled and stretched it off over his antlers, coming face to face with that scar he had only seen once before. He moved his head up to kiss it. "Beautiful," he whispered again.

"You are..." Louis shifted and the stars jingled and swayed.

"And you are, too." Pina pushed up into him and spread his legs slightly. "So, are you going to make good on what you said?"

"Very," Louis said, grabbing the bottle of lube he had laid next to Pina's hand. "I'm thinking of the position. I have two ideas."

"Do I have a say?" Pina asked, genuine.

"Send in the suggestion and we'll see if the board approves it."

"Alright, smart guy. What are your ideas?"

"You lay on your back and bend your leg and I finger you like that, or we both get on our knees and you lean against me while I finger you between your legs."

"Oh, I'm curious about that second one..."

"You want to try that?" Louis moved back onto his knees so Pina could sit up, grabbing his hand to help him.

Pina placed his other hand on Louis' shoulder as he rose. "Yeah, as long as you keep a grip on me. Hard to stand on my knees with one leg shorter than the other."

"Just lean against me and it will be fine," the deer said. He began lubricating his fingers.

Pina nodded and rested his head on his shoulder, shivering in anticipation.

Louis breathed slowly against his chest. "Are you sure you're ready?"

"Yes. Come get your sheepie~" he whispered into Louis' ear.

The deer's hand moved forward between Pina's leg and his fingers searched for the other herbivore's entrance. "Hm..."

"Wow, you're good at finding buttholes," Pina commended.

Louis blinked. "Is that even a skill?"

"Of course it is!" Pina insisted. "You reached right up there and got it first try! Impressive."

Louis pulled him closer as he rubbed his fingers against it. "It really wasn't that hard." He huffed. "Unlike something else..."

"Haaaah, funny man." Pina kissed his cheek and used his free hand to rub themselves together.

Louis grunted softly as he pushed his finger inside.

Pina sighed into his shoulder and spread his legs apart more to give Louis better access.

The deer pressed his fingers deeper inside as the stars on his antlers twinkled. "Are you doing alright so far?"

"Of course." Pina tried sounding jokingly indignant but his voice came out quietly genuine.

Louis pulled him even closer as he began moving his digits in and out, preparing the sheep for their upcoming fornication.

"Mmm." Pina continued to stroke themselves together.

The deer couldn't help but move his hips at the feeling. It was interesting having Pina's smaller length against his, but he had to admit, it was still hot. He moved his fingers deeper into the animal.

The sheep shuddered and gripped him tighter, wanting to disappear into him. Everything around them vanished, leaving only the bed beneath them and the music in their ears.

Louis spread his fingers inside Pina as much as he could and just as soon as he started, the deer stopped fingering him.

Pina shuddered more and gripped harder. "Ready?" he asked.

"For a while now." Louis pecked his lips.

"Alright. Let's get to it, then." Pina leaned back and loomed into Louis' eye lovingly. "How do you want me?"

"What would be easiest for you?" Louis asked, stroking his finger down a cheek and then curling some wool around it.

Pina looked away, eyes flitting downward for a second before landing once again on the buck. "I want you to be on top of me..."

Louis looked at Pina's leg stump. "And you can handle that?"

"Why couldn't I?" Pina scoffed.

"Alright, I'll just hold your right leg, then," Louis smiled, warmly.

"Hold it to your heart's content." Pina laid back on the bed and smiled warmly. "Come get your sheepie," he repeated with a whisper.

Louis leaned forward and kissed him once more as he lined himself up, holding Pina's right leg as he stated previously. "That means I'll need to go slow, then."

"Whatever you need~" the sheep crooned, getting comfortable.

Louis moved, adding some pressure against Pina as he huffed, using the leg he was holding as leverage. "I'm about to sleep with the prettiest herbivore in the world..."

"Hell yeah you are." Pina sighed softly at the intrusion. "Hope you like it."

Louis grunted as he pushed more, and it wasn't hard to get it in at all due to Pina's recent sexcapades with Bill, who was bigger than Louis. "Mmh..."

Pina moaned and adjusted before putting that smile on again. "Heh, like throwing a marker down a hallway, right?"

"What?" Louis blinked.

Pina chuckled. "Not too loose, am I?"

"No, somehow..." Louis muttered.

Pina brought the deer's hand to his mouth and bit it, slightly. "Mm, so this is finally happening now. Part of me feels I'm dreaming."

"This feels very real to me..." The buck whispered, sliding in even further as he pulled against Pina's right leg.

"God, yeah it does." Pina shut his eyes and arched his back a bit. "Can't believe a year ago I had never had sex with a dude."

"Not many animals can say they've had sex with a one-legged sheep," Louis chuckled.

"I think it's rarer that you've fucked a wolf as an herbivore, actually," Pina pointed out. "But I'll take pride in being a trophy for you~"

"You're not just a trophy to me..." Louis stroked his cheek. "This means a lot."

"I know," Pina giggled. "I can stop being a bastard if you want, but you have to work for it. Make me speechless~"

Louis moaned softly. "I plan to..." He began thrusting, lightly. The sounds of their sex mingled with their breathing underneath the music, giving the atmosphere an even more intimate feeling. "You know..." Louis panted. "I never pictured myself...having sex to this type of music."

"Mmph, I think it's fitting. Better than the time Bill wanted to fuck to idol pop." Pina reached out and slid his finger down Louis' arm. "You'd better not stay out of kissing range the whole time."

"You might just have to make me~"

Pina grunted and leaned up, wrapping his hands around Louis' back and pulling him on top of him.

The buck thrusted faster, his stars swinging and twinkling as he leaned closer to the sheep's lips, using a hand to run his fingers through his luxurious wool.

Pina's hands wrapped around the back of Louis' head before he guided their mouths together, breaching through immediately.

Louis moaned softly as again he increased his speed, using his tongue to fight a battle with Pina's, the exhales from their noses rather loud.

Pina wiggled his hips against the pumping and returned every moan that Louis gave him. It felt just as good as he had ever imagined it. Better, even. He opened his eyes and took in the specimen before him, all decorated just for him. For his pleasure. As thanks for all the hard work he had done.

Louis looked directly into the luminous pools that were Pina's eyes, glowing so brightly as he looked at his deer lover. They were no longer in a tower. No longer in a cell. They were finally doing this, showing each other how much they mean to one another. They were free. Free to love one another and enjoy everything they had to offer. It felt so good.

His body started to weigh down on Pina's more. A good, warm weight. Once again, the ram felt like melting into him. He wanted to be swept up in his wave and not have to worry about anything anymore.

Louis slowed down for a moment, his ear twitching, as if he was listening.

"Mmm, ah, what's up, boo?"

"I hear footsteps."

Pina listened for a moment and did indeed hear footsteps. "Just go cover us with the blanket," he said.

The buck's head turned this way and that. "Where is it?"

Pina reached over and grabbed where he had crumpled it up, bringing it over. "I mean, if they see us they'll know we're fucking but at least they won't see everything."

Louis spread it out behind him and let it fall over the couple, wiggling inside Pina as he did this. The footsteps, unfortunately, approached. "I bet I can guess who it is," Louis whispered.

"Mmm, as long as you don't go soft inside me I don't care who it is~"

"Mmm, that won't happen. I'm too eager," Louis said. "Here comes...Nori."

And just like that, the red panda appeared at the doorway and froze dead in his tracks. "What kind of fucking ritual—"

Pina turned his head to him. "Nori, dear, we told you we were doing this..."

The herbivore blinked. "You said soon! I didn't think you meant tonight! Gah!"

Louis looked up from his position. "Soon is any time after you say the word 'soon'."

Nori crossed his arms. "You're not actually—"

"Yes, I am physically inside Pina as we're speaking."

"What's going on with the makeup? Your nails? And woah, your eye!"

"Louis brought this stuff. When I'm not Shichi, I usually wear makeup." Pina's voice was as casual as it'd be any other time.

"I brought this stuff for our first time," Louis squinted. "Not our first time plus Nori."

"I didn't know you were having a fuck ritual!"

"And yet you're still standing there?"

"What are you wearing in your antlers?" Nori blinked.

"Just decorations. What do you need already?"

"I came to tell you dinner is ready, sheesh!"

"Oh, don't worry, Nori. Louis already had plenty to eat." Pina stuck his tongue out.

Louis reddened. "We'll eat later!"

"But Pina just said—"

"Nori, if you don't let us finish I'm going to continue whether you're here or not."

"Hell no! Man, sex is gross..."

"Then run along. We'll hang out later." Pina was starting to get impatient now. He started to rub himself up on Louis' stomach.

Nori groaned. "Fine! We're watching a movie later. Roku will be there but still, it would be cool if you guys came. Anyway, uh, bye!" He scampered off.

Louis let out an exhale. "Fuck..."

"Oh, we will come," Pina laughed. "Didn't kill the mood, did he?"

Louis immediately began thrusting rather heavily. "Hah! No, of course not~ The way you look is enough to keep the mood~"

"Ahh~ you know I don't think we'll be able to avoid Bill watching one of our sessions. Hope you're okay with that~"

"Hahh...Legosi and I had sex in front of numerous animals at the mask party...I'm more than fine with it..." He leaned down and licked up Pina's chest, very slowly as he moved in and out of him.

"Oh yeaaaah. God I keep forgetting that actually happened." Pina looked down at what Louis was doing and he bit his lip. "Nnf, fuck."

"Hmh...what is it!" The deer looked up, his tongue still connected to Pina's fur.

"Just, all of this. Mmmph."

The deer moved his hands to grip Pina's shoulder as he continued to pound. "All of this..." He moved his tongue to play with Pina's nipple, humming a bit as he did so, the music chugging on around them.

"Mmm!" Pina nodded and closed his eyes. The time for talking had ended. He just wanted to feel everything with his full concentration. The sheep could feel Louis' hands wander all over him, just appreciating the frame of his body. The deer's tongue worked in different places as he increased his speed down below.

Pina let out small, high pitched moans as he wrapped himself around Louis and moved his hips in tandem with his thrusting.

The deer moved up to his ear so Pina could feel each hot breath and moan. "Mmm...Pina..." It sounded so close yet so far away. The younger herbivore was truly being taken to another world.

In response, Pina reached out with his mouth and nipped at Louis' shoulder, his voice raising in pitch with each thrust.

Louis let out a louder moan into Pina's ears as he bucked into him.

Pina eased back only to take more of him in his mouth, his body moving back more and more as Louis started fucking him harder.

Suddenly, the cervid's hands were wrapped around Pina, lifting him up into his lap. Louis thrust his hips upward as he watched the reactions on Pina's face.

The blanket that was over them slid down, exposing their bodies once again. Pina squeaked, running his nails over Louis' back and sucking at his neck as he was thrust up into.

The deer's hands wandered down to Pina's tail, rubbing it through his palm. "Mmmh...hahh..."

Pina brought his knees to rest on the mattress below them, allowing him to bounce himself against Louis' thrusts while now rubbing their faces together.

It was getting rather sloppy and desperate and it was a wonder neither animal had finished yet. Louis continued his explorations of Pina's tail as he hooked his tongue with his own and brought him into another very deep snog.

Pina's moaning only increased, feeling himself careening towards the edge. He raised his body up even more and crashed it down, eager to finish.

Louis let out a shuddering breath into Pina's mouth as he stuck his tongue in deep, their noses squished together. His hands wandered to rub Pina's inner thighs at this point. He wanted the sheep to finish without any help from his hands.

Pina knew it was soon, so he placed his hands on Louis' shoulders and stared him straight in the eye as he hammered himself down onto him over and over again.

The two herbivores' moans and pants and even just their movements were quite the cacophony. Louis always did get rather careless when he had sex. But who cared when he was barreling toward his climax? Certainly not he.

Pina slowed down his pace as the feeling in his gut started to burn, instead moving his butt back and forth slightly to angle the thrusts differently. His whole body was tingling.

Louis clutched him close and as he thought about what Pina might be used to, he dragged his black nails down his back, slowly.

"Guuuoooh." Now Pina just held himself down to the base of Louis' erection, letting the deer pace the ride.

Louis was holding out all he could to let Pina finish first, as he liked to do with his partners, but he was no match for the sheep's stamina, and a loud moan against Pina's shoulder later, the deer at last finished inside of him.

Pina clenched around the deer as he was filled, the mere feeling and idea of it driving him over the edge as he finished all over their stomachs, eyes squeezed shut and rapid, high pitched vocalizations leaving his throat. His grip on him loosened as he leaned into him.

Louis exhaled deeply, loosening his grip as well and rubbing Pina's back softly, reveling in the moment.

"Mmmmm, seems like the album I put on ended," Pina noticed, swaying back and forth in Louis' grasp. "Perfect timing."

Louis moved with him to an invisible rhythm only the two herbivores heard, smiling. "Perfect..."

"Yes..." They stayed like that in silence for a while.

Louis' voice broke the silence. "The reviews are in! 'Louis Tops Pina: The Sheepuel' is even better than the first! Longer, better, more intense and with great foreplay, this isn't a porno you want to miss."

Pina wore shock on his face for a moment before it exploded into laughter, after which he rammed his horns into Louis' antlers. "Auugh! You fucked me so good I forgot to be insufferable and you had to do it for me!"

"I knew you'd forget," Louis teased, his stars clinking as their horns clacked.

"You fucked that memory right out of me," PIna sighed. He could feel the mess seeping out from him. "So, any cleanup plan?"

"What, you don't want to give a review first?"

The sheep groaned. "A huge mess! Audiences in the first four rows be advised as there is an unannounced fourth wall breaking moment during the climax! Otherwise, 10/10."

Louis laughed, loudly. "10/10? Really?"

Pina shrugged. "What can I say? I enjoy a good dicking."

Louis sighed as he laid back. "So really an 8/10." He stuck his tongue out.

"Well, that's how all the reviewers do it, but it only goes up to 10." Pina squirmed a bit. "Seriously, though, did you have a cleanup plan?"

"I was thinking we could use the blanket or something and then just wash it," Louis said.

"You are so gross," Pina tutted. "Nasty dirty buck boy."

"Legosi always calls me his dirty deer..."

Pina snorted. "What, really? What did you do to that innocent guy?"

"Hey! I didn't do anything!" Louis argued. "Change starts willingly!"

"Ironically, if you never did anything with him I doubt he'd ever want to be with Bill," Pina chuckled. "Anyway, are we gonna do that dinner?"

"They're probably all finished by now..."

"I suppose. I'm still full from everything we ate today. Tired?"

"Oh, yes. Very tired. But it was worth it. I wonder if we can keep this franchise going..."

"Oh, I think so," Pina purred. "Maybe with some crossovers in the future~"

"Mmm..." Louis kissed him one more time. "Sounds like a plan..."

After folding up the blanket and putting it in the corner to bring down to the laundry later, Louis and Pina crawled back onto the mattress.

The deer looked at the ceiling. "What happened to not doing it in a cell?"

"You had a pretty convincing argument," Pina stated, running his hands over Louis' hip bones.

Louis shuddered. "Nori saw us. I'm actually embarrassed."

"Really? I thought you liked being watched~"

"I do, but not by Nori," Louis said. "It feels wrong. He's so lonely and it's just...I don't know. At least it wasn't Riley, that might be worse."

"Ah, I get what you mean." Pina rubbed his wool on Louis' fur. "I hope they can find someone."

"Me, too." His arm went around the sheep. "I really enjoyed your favorite album. You have good tastes in music."

"Favorite prog rock album, not my fave overall. Dunno if I could pick, then. Definitely my favorite album to make love to, though." Pina moved his head again and knocked his horns against the antlers again. "Hey, once those are all grown we should butt heads. Sheep love doing it, and don't deer too?"

Louis chuckled. "Why would we do that?"

"Because it'd be fun! We've been sparring anyway!' Pina reasoned.

"I finally won!"

"You did." Pina kissed his cheek. "So proud of you."

"I will next time, too."

"Not if we butt heads."

"You're a ram. It's in the name."

"So...you admit it."

"Never."

Pina nibbled on Louis' ear. "That's what rams do at B-Strike. They set up targets for us to ram into. It's fun."

"B-Strike? I haven't heard that name in a while."

"Yeah. Too bad they don't allow cross-species participation." Pina fiddled with the velvet coating Louis' antlers. "So...when does this, like, not be like this?"

"Around September 6. It's very gruesome."

"What, really? Down to the date?"

"Around that time. Most records prove it and being a deer myself, I agree."

"How is it gruesome?" Pina asked.

"It's shedding flesh into bone. Once it starts naturally shedding, I can use a knife to do the rest."

Pina's mouth opened slightly in awe. "That's...badass. Let me see when it happens?"

"Let you...see?"

"Uh, yeah? What part don't you get?"

"I might just make you do it, to be honest."

"Siiiick." Pina nuzzled into him. "Now, however, they're nice and soft."

Louis nodded. "It's really tragic how they had to be removed, though."

"I know..." Pina adjusted their positioning so he was now spooning him. "That's far in the past now, though."

"And will never happen again."

"Mmm." Pina started to stroke him and soon began to hum, softly.

Louis closed his eye. "Mmm..."

"You were so sleepy before, deer, so now you may sleeeeep." Pina nuzzled in deeper and began humming again. He didn't trust his singing voice as much as Louis, but at least he could do something similar.

"So nice..." Louis cooed.

Pina smiled and continued, replicating the music that had just been playing before. There was no cover and they were both naked, but that was fine.

Louis felt peaceful in this moment. "You're too lovely..."

"Another satisfied review." Pina kissed the back of his head. "You're lovely as well."

"You think so? I feel like I'm just fumbling my way up the stairs of life."

"Aren't we all?"

"...True. Who knows what will happen now?"

"Whatever happens..." Pina pulled him even closer. "I got you."

"I can't rely on you so much, though."

"Hm, don't see it that way. Just see it as a reason not to be afraid. I mean, I'm not afraid because I know you're here too." Pina stroked up and down his arm.

Louis nodded. "And now we have the BMAB..."

"Yeah. We can do this." Pina yawned. "But first...we need rest."

"Do you think anyone else will join it?"

"Mmmm, dunno. Juu is pretty big on Ichi cuz he saved her life, San and Kyuu grew up with him. Maybe Roku, if Nori mends their friendship. Plus, San and Kyuu don't seem too close to Ichi anymore."

"Not just that but...I think Ni has different feelings about the Branded than Ichi does. I overheard them talking..."

"Ohh? Juicy. Tell me before we fall asleep." Pina yawned again.

"Ni was asking if Ichi ever wanted to leave and just give up on the Branded. Ichi seemed to want to, but then he ordered Ni to hush. Ni actually seemed to be...upset."

"That's actually really big," Pina murmured. "I wonder if you summoning your Chimera squashed that, though."

"Did you see Ni's face when I did? I've never seen him emote so much."

"No, my eyes were only on you," Pina admitted.

"Oh, spare me the joke."

"Literally wasn't a joke. I was making sure nothing was going to happen to you."

"I think something will. Ichi is getting what he wants."

"Yeah, well, he's not getting shit from me," Pina said, cheekily.

"Unless you can summon a Chimera, somehow."

"I'll summon one that looks just like Ni and it'll make him super horny and it'll distract him while you stab him or something. I don't...know." Pina's eyes grew heavy.

"You want to...kill him?"

"Mmm, tired. Not serious. Joke."

"Do you?"

"...It's weird cuz I came into this tower thinking that was the plan but now I...I don't know. What the hell do we do with him?"

"We get the most animals we can on our team until he has no choice."

"Yeah." The sheep grumbled. "Yeah...that's the plan for now."

Louis scratched Pina's chin. "Then let's begin with Roku."
