A/N: Here I am again. Sorry for making you all wait. But I have a good explanation!

I'm lazy. :3

Big (no homo) thank you to DrBananaFace for helping me with this chapter! (If you find anything wrong, please remark it; it means it's HIS mistake :3.

I have updated the first chapter. If you want to read it again, please do! Anyways. Love you all, blah, blah.

Fox opened his eyes slowly, receiving an intense light in return; he closed them quickly again, grunting at the slight pain. "Fucking windows." The lack of sleep he got yesterday didn't help either; he had some… 'things' to take care of due to a certain lupine in his head. Then, an incredible happiness coursed through his body, as he remembered last night's events.

"Today's the day!" He got up from his bed and looked at the clock.

"9:15 a.m.. I still have time." He opened his dresser. "Wait a second…" He felt like something was missing… The time... 9:15 a.m… Time...

"FUCK! WE DIDN'T SET THE TIME!"

Yesterday's night, they forgot the most important thing for a date.

He panicked, trying to look for Wolf's contact in his comm, mumbling curses to himself for making such petty mistake. "I don't have it. I can't fucking believe this. I am so stupid. Ugh..."

He didn't have any other choice. "Better take the risk. He might be there already…" He dressed casual: Jeans and a white shirt. "But what if he wants to go have lunch at somewhere expensive, and I look like this!? What if he doesn't like my outfit!? What if he's not even there!?"

It was all a matter of destiny now. "Fuck it." He opened the door and headed to the park. "GOD, it's freezing!" …not without a jacket. "Fucking cold breeze."

"Okay... so now what." Fox stood in the entrance. The park's size was an entire square. "What the fuck am I even doing here? This was a mistake..." He started advancing. "If it is for Wolf, I'll try."

"Now, if I were him, where would I be…" There were so many options for him to choose. "He was at the lake yesterday. Maybe he's at the fountain…?"

The fountain of the park was placed exactly in the center. That way, whenever people wanted to reunite in the park, they could use the fountain as the meeting spot. The fountain, due to the importance it had, was big enough for people to notice. When Fox was approaching, he began to recognize the figure he was looking for.

"Wolf!" The wolf lifted an ear in response. "Yes, that's him!" Fox almost tripped when he began to go faster.

"Fox!? What are you doing h-" He was stopped by a hug from the vulpine.

"I'm glad you're here!" His tail wagged furiously behind him.

"Um… Fox… public." The younger man noticed what the other meant. They quickly separated.

"S-sorry." He showed disappointment. However, Wolf gave him a warm smile.

"But… that means you are incredibly happy to see me! Oh you lovely man!"

"S-shut up. Don't embarrass me in public!"

"Why not? You're the cutest creature in the world when you get embarrassed."

"Don't make me hug you again."

The lupine was ready to throw the comeback. He grinned. "Leave those things for private moments. Right now, we gotta be civilized." He blew a silent kiss with a wink.

"Aaargh… Stop!"

"Never. I know you're not angry about it."

"He's damn right." He tried with puppy eyes. "Please…?"

"Fine. I can't say no to that face."

"May I know why?"

"Because it's way too cute. Even for you." He grinned.

"Thanks! Wait… what do you mean 'even for you'. Are you implying that I'm not cute?"

"Heh... I prefer the word 'sexy' for you, pup."

He felt his cheeks burning… again. "You know what? Let's leave this topic for now."

"Whatever you choose. What do you wanna do now?"

"Well, it's… 11:24. Maybe we can spend time here talking about stuff, then have lunch. Sounds good to you?"

"Of course. You're MY precious fox, so I'll do anything for you."

Fox couldn't hold it any longer. He made sure nobody was around before he went forward and pressed his lips against Wolf's, lightly kissing him.

However, the lupine wanted to keep going, so he embraced his lover and kissed him passionately. They didn't pay too much attention to their surroundings, but they still kept an eye out for whoever might pass by.

Wolf slowly separated, their tails swinging left and right quickly. "I… wow. I needed that."

"Yeah… Me too."

"Be careful next time, though. You never know who might be there looking at us."

The vulpine lowered his ears. "Yeah. I don't know if I'd want to be in a magazine. Not now, at least."

"I'm with you on that one."

"So… wanna sit and chat?"

The older man smiled. "Sure."

They ended up killing time talking about personal tastes and such. That gave them both an opportunity to know each other even better.

In the end, they decided on fast food for lunch. It was 1:15 p.m. when they entered the restaurant. Since Wolf liked alcohol, the place they picked had a wide variety of drinks, which included beers and wines.

They sat down somewhere away from other costumers, and a waiter, a white tiger, approached them. "Welcome, gentlemen. May I take your order?" While saying that, he handed them the menu, and took his notepad and pen.

"Thank you." Fox looked at all the options, and Wolf did the same. "Hmm... I'm honestly incredibly hungry. I could go with the burger and fries… but I don't want Wolf watching me while I eat that. I mean, it could be embarrassing if I spread ketchup all over my mouth, or spill it over my shirt… Fuck it. Survival comes first." He dropped the menu on the table. "I'll… get a burger with fries, please."

"Understood. And you, sir?" He asked, looking directly at Wolf.

"Burger and fries, too."

"Got it." He wrote both orders. "Drinks?"

The waiter looked at Fox. "I go first again? Fuck." He looked at the 'Drinks' section. "I'll geeeet… orange juice." The lupine raised his eyebrows, and huffed to suppress his laughter.

"Noted. And you?" Wolf's turn.

"I'll go with beer. Not strong, though; I prefer to go crazy at night." Fox blushed at the comment. He knew exactly what the lupine meant, and he liked that thought; embarrassing, but incredible.

When the waiter left them, the older male let out what he wanted to say. "Hah! Seriously? Orange juice? Grow up, pup."

"Hey! It's not so bad! At least I'm healthy."

"Yeah, healthy my ass. Everyone ends up dying anyways."

His eyes opened wide. Even if it was true, Fox didn't want those thoughts in his head; it consumed his brain. He shook his head. "I prefer lasting longer… but whatever. So… what do you wanna do now? Do you have any work in mind?"

"Work? I don't think so. I have a bounty on my head."

"Not anymore. Your actions in the war made Pepper change his mind."

"Oh… Then… I dunno. I honestly never expected to be legit, y'know?"

"Well, you can be a waiter! O-"

"Hold it right there. Do you honestly think that the Lord O'Donnell would work as a stupid waiter? I'll pass."

"If you say so… Oh! Bill said he was going to be a teacher at the flying academy. You could be a teacher, too."

Wolf rubbed his chin. Fox knew that the older male loved flying. "Hmm... It's a good idea, actually. Problem is: I dunno if they'll accept me. Even if I don't have the bounty, I still have my criminal past; not something easy to put aside."

"I can put a good word for you."

"And tell them what? 'Hey man, I want my fucking hot almost boyfriend to be a teacher'. I don't think it's going to work."

"I can avoid that part, dummy! Besides, we aren't a thing." Wolf's ears dropped, and the vulpine noticed. "I-I mean! Not yet! It's not that I don't want this!" Wolf looked away for a moment. "Why the fuck did I say that!?"

Then, he looked directly at the fox again. "Fox, please, be honest. Do you… want to be with me?"

He didn't think about his answer. "Yes. I want you. I want to hold you tight, share every moment with you, show you my love. I… I really want to be with you." His heart began beating faster. "Fuck yeah brain!"

Wolf's ears raised again. "Thank you." He smiled.

"You're welcome."

Just then, the food came. "Sorry to keep you waiting. Here it is: two burgers with fries, orange juice and beer." Both canines thanked him, and he left.

Fox took the first bite. "Damn! This is really good!"

Wolf sighed, showing that he liked the flavor. "Coming here wasn't a bad idea."

"I won't disagree."

They spent a few minutes in comfortable silence, just eating the food; both men never noticed how hungry they were. However, not everything went well, as Fox began to think about what to say; he had enough silence.

"So…" Wolf's eyes darted towards him. "Fuck! What have I done!?" He said the first thing that came up on his head. "What happened with your team?".

"They disbanded. Leon's probably a full time criminal now. Panther… I honestly don't know. He was obsessed with… Krystal, was it?"

"Yeah. Before I hit the bed, she called me yesterday, saying that Panther flirted with her while we were outside."

"She called you just to say that? What the fuck."

"I dunno. She wanted to give the news to someone, and that someone ended up being me. I don't mind that, either."

"You're a weird one." Wolf frowned. "I fucking hate when people give stupid news."

Fox narrowed his sight. "Life is full of stupid news. Besides, they are always important to someone."

"Okay, okay. Sorry." Wolf sighed. "I just… I dunno what came over me."

Fox thought that he might have went too far with the lupine. "Well, I-"

"It's just that when I see people being happy with someone else... I feel sad, alone, hopeless. I feel like it's not going to happen to me." Wolf placed his elbow on the table, supporting his head with his hand.

The vulpine took that opportunity to take said lupine's hand, and grip it tightly. "It will happen. I want to be with you. I'm gonna say it hundreds of times if it's necessary."

"But why? What do you see in me?"

"Hmm..."

He remembered all the things he thought yesterday, and let them all out.

"I honestly think that you're funny, sweet, strong… you're manly, of course, and you look really hot. I just… think that you're perfect. I feel safe with you beside me. Every time we fought, I fell in love with you again. I always thought that I HAD to take you down, but whenever I saw you in that cockpit… I couldn't. I dunno why, but that's how I felt. And after I saw you working with me, I had to take the opportunity; it gave me one more reason to love you."

Wolf didn't know what to say. What he just heard, summed with the touch of both hands, gave him an intense feeling of joy and love.

The vulpine quickly withdrew his hand, feeling embarrassed. "S-sorry. I just-" But the lupine took it again.

"I liked it."

"But, you know… the public, an-"

"Do you care about what the public has to say?"

Fox pondered about it. "Do I?" He rested his elbows against the table. "I dunno. I mean, I am 'the hero'. People expect me to be perfect, to get married with a gorgeous girl, have a family, raise my son to be the new hero, be the best father in Lylat..."

"And do you want to fulfill those expectations?"

That question hit the spot. "I… don't know."

"You may be the hero, but you're still Fox. You can't follow what other people say or think, because that's not you. Follow your dreams, and believe in the person you want to be."

Such thoughtful words made the vulpine smile. "Thanks."

"Sure. Now, I'll ask you again. Do you want to be what other people say? Or do you want to be Fox McCloud, a guy who made his own decisions?"

Without hesitation, he answered. "I want to be me. I want to do what I think is right. And… I want to be with you. I don't care what other people have to say; if I have you by my side, nothing else will matter."

The older male smiled. "And I want to make out with you right now."

"W-Wolf! Not here!"

"You just said that you didn't care. I'm not deaf, pup."

"Yeah, but… I'm not sure! Right now we aren't together, like, for real."

"Fine…" Wolf was upset. Fox was always saying that, and it was giving him negative feelings.

"Hey… I told you I want to be with you, and I'll keep saying those words until they get in your head. But could you please give me some time? Please."

The older male looked away for a moment. Sadness was making its way in his face. He sighed. "Alright. I'm taking this too far. I'm just… scared. I don't want to lose you, like I lost everything else in my life."

"I don't want a sad wolf on my first date. Come on, smile for me!" Fox made a big toothy smile, and Wolf laughed because of it.

"Haha! Fine, fine. You win."

"I always win, dumbass!"

"Let's see who wins in bed, then." Fox's cheeks burned. "Come on, pup! It's so easy to make you all embarrassed!"

"S-shut up! I'm not a flirty guy like you!"

"Booooriiiing."

"H-hey! What's that supposed to mean!?"

"It means that you're boring."

"Ugh… you're insufferable."

"You still love me."

Fox looked away. He wanted to answer the question, but it would take things too far. "Just… shut up. Let's pay and get out of here."

"You didn't finish yet." Wolf pointed to the table, and it was true.

"O-oh. Sorry." He focused on finishing his meal.

"Don't say sorry about such things. I'm enjoying this time with you, so I should be saying thank you."

"W-well, you're welcome, then."

After three minutes of arguing about who should pay for the bill, they decided to go half and half. The sun was beginning to set, as they walked side by side through the streets. They have been talking for hours, telling stories about the past.

"-and then Bill said 'what the heck Fox, you're really gay!'"

"Bwahahaha! And you didn't fuck him?"

"Nah. I just wanted to scare him. He's not homophobic, but not gay either. Besides, I want my first time to be special."

"I'll go with you on that one." Wolf looked at the afternoon skies; a mixture of pink and orange. "Beautiful sight… I can't believe that time went by in an instant."

"Yeah."

"You never felt sad at the end of a day?"

"No? What are you talking about?"

"I feel a… weird sadness inside me. Like, another day is over… and the time you used is gone. If you made a mistake, or something that you regret, there's nothing you can do to get the time back."

Even if they were outside, nobody was around, so Fox took Wolf's hand. He felt bad for the lupine; so many negative emotions building up inside his head. "Do you regret being with me today?"

Wolf kept looking forward, tightening the grip of his hand. "No. I'll never change what we did today, that's for sure. I said that because... what I did in the war-"

"The past is done."

"Yeah, bu-"

"Even if you make mistakes, you can still get back on track. Don't let the past haunt you, because it's all over now. What matters is the present and the future. You want to change, and I'll help you with that, even if it costs me the fame."

Fox looked directly at the lone, amethyst eye, to glimpse a small tear rolling down his cheek. Wolf wiped it out. "Sorry. I really appreciate it."

"Don't cry. I want my precious Wolf to be happy today!"

"And you said that like dozens of times already."

"And I'll keep saying it!"

"Heh… alright. You must be a wolf's charmer."

"I could only charm the wolf that I have at my side. Besides, you're the one that knows good pick-up lines."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah! Come on, shoot me one of those."

"You only want to get embarrassed, don't you."

"Do it!"

Wolf sighed. "Fine, fine. Just because you're cute." He hummed, clearly thinking about something. "I just made up this one. Roses are red, pickles are green. I love your legs and what's in between."

Fox's burst of laughter would have attracted attention, but nobody was around at that time. He couldn't control both his laugh and his embarrassment. "H-holy shit! Hahaha! That one's fucking good!"

"Calm down, will you? It wasn't that good."

"Are you kidding me? You would have millions of foxes falling for you after that!" He just kept laughing, unable to stop.

"Well, I only have one fox in mind." He grinned.

"Now, now. Look who's the charmer now."

"You bet I am."

They kept walking while holding hands, having a good time, even if they weren't doing anything.

"Wolf." The vulpine broke the silence.

"Shoot."

"I… want this to be official."

The lupine went silent for a moment, then said: "Me too. Even if we spent almost a day together, I still want to be with you."

"I feel the same. I can't get enough of you."

"Then… I think I can say this." Wolf took a deep breath. "Fox McCloud… I..." But he stopped.

The younger man felt slightly disappointed, but he understood what his partner meant when he cut his confession like that. "Not sure yet?"

"Fox, I-I-". He began to sweat, and he couldn't finish his sentence.

"It's okay. We are taking it too fast."

"B-but we feel the same! We should be perfect!"

"Then why didn't you finish that sentence?"

"I just… feel that this is not the perfect time to say it."

"It's because we aren't ready yet. You can either say it or not." Even if he was being reasonable, those emerald eyes were filled with need of lust.

Wolf noticed the intense feeling. "Please, Fox, give me some time..."

The idea of love in the fox's head was driving him crazy, blinding him from the caution. He took a deep breath. "You're right." He lowered his ears, and made the most apologetic face he could. "I'm really sorry. I wanted to feel loved, just like you… but these things shouldn't happen in the blink of an eye. We're rushing things, and we might end up hurting each other because of this."

The lupine placed his hands on the smaller man's shoulders. "You know what? Let's hang out tomorrow."

"Really?"

"Yeah! Even more: let's hang out everyday!"

Fox's ears shot up; the excitement was building inside him. "Okay! But where should we go?"

"Dunno. Maybe the park again?"

"Yeah! Sure!"

"Should we… part ways?"

The vulpine thought for a moment. He didn't want to separate, but he had no other choice. "Alright. So… umm… good night."

"Good night."

When they began moving opposite sides, the younger male stopped. Something was building inside of him: a desire. He ran towards the lupine. The older male, hearing the sound, turned around, only to be enveloped into a deep kiss.

Fox's fingers went down through the wolf's chest, and stopped himself when he reached the waist, breaking the kiss. "Fuck. I'm sorry."

"That hand has a mind of it's own. Better keep those things for another day."

"Y-yeah. I couldn't hold it back."

"And I won't complain about it. We gotta be careful."

"Yeah. Umm… I also want your number for, you know, calls and stuff."

"Right."

Both males exchanged contact numbers. "Alright, Wolf. Good night."

"For real this time?"

The younger man chuckled. "Yeah, for real."

"Good night, then."

And with that, they parted ways, walking through the afternoon's street.

"I'm looking forward to this week with you, Wolf O'Donnell."

A/N: There it is! Hope this one's better than what the old one was. Also, I want to ask you all something: does four dotted ellipsis exist? Like, the ellipsis, and another dot to end the sentence. Or just the ellipsis to break the sentence?
