A/N: Another chapter! (Weeee!). I've read all reviews made, and I'm trying to be better. I'm NOT, by ANY means, going to improve like a god in this, because I won't make a career out of this, or whatever; this is just for FUN (and unleash my ass/imagination). BUT! That doesn't mean I'm gonna be a dick with you all, so I'll try my best to be better than before. Regarding "showing, not telling" issues, I hope I did better…

An entire month have passed since the promised date. Fox and Wolf were developing their relationship for good, sharing a lot of joyful experiences.

Two weeks ago, Wolf made a reservation at the most expensive and fanciest restaurant in Corneria. When the notice reached the vulpine's ears, he knew from the very beginning that it was going to be THE night.

The fox was sitting on his bed, struggling with a sock. "God fucking dammit..."

His stomach was twisting weirdly, his breaths quickened, his hands were shaking, a lot. He was nervous. Everything could go wrong if he made a mistake, but it also could go very well if things played out nicely. The thoughts of so many outcomes were driving his head wild. "Fucking hell…"

His comm started vibrating. Fox rolled over his bed and looked at the screen. Incoming call: Falco. He pressed the 'accept' button. "Hello Falco!" A smile formed on his face.

"Hey, pal!" The excited voice of the blue avian came through the speaker. "How you been doing?"

"I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

"Wow… Can't even care about my friends now?" Falco chuckled.

"Hah! That's just… not you." He also chuckled.

"Touché. But seriously, I wanted to say sorry."

"Huh? Why?" He tilted his head, even if the avian wasn't looking.

"Month ago, at the meeting. I got angry at you for no reason at all, and I want to make it up to you." The worlds were sincere. "There's a party tonight in like three hours. You wanna come?"

Fox looked at the clock. "Sorry man, I'll pass. I already have things to do."

"What could you possibly do at 12 o'clock, dude! Stop getting laid with strangers, or you'll get weird things inside your body!".

The vulpine huffed. "I'm not getting laid! I'm taking it seriously!" Fox froze. His thing with Wolf was supposed to be a secret between both canines and Krystal.

"Oh-HO! Someone has a secret girlfriend!" The canine blushed. He cleared his throat.

"S-shut up." He paused for a second, thinking twice about what he was about to say. "She's not my girlfriend yet." At least the main surprise was still a secret…

"That's the Fox I know! I guess you can't join me, but you have a good reason. Good luck, man. For real."

"Thanks. Gotta hung up. I still have to get dressed." He was getting impatient; he was going to screw it up if he didn't shut his mouth.

"Alright. Again, good luck! See ya!"

"Bye."

He sighed. When the adrenaline left his system, he started processing what he heard. The avian's words made him feel more confident; he now knew what he had to do. A smile formed on his face.

"It'll all be settled tonight."

They parked on a public parking lot, in front of the two-story building.

"So… are you ready for this?"

"Seriously, pup? I have a gentleman inside me."

When both males got out of the car, the vulpine shivered a little. It was getting cold, and the temperature was considerably lower than the first date; a tuxedo wasn't enough, and he was suffering a little.

They began headed towards the entrance and Fox instantly started scanning the zone; so many years in war changed his mind completely.

The restaurant occupied almost half of the square. To the right was an entrance to what he thought could be the parking lot of the building.

"You like this place?"

The older male interrupted his thoughts. Fox smiled widely. "Yeah, of course I do! Why?"

"I wanted to make sure it was good." Wolf smiled, too. "Seems like I don't have to worry."

"Don't be stupid. Spending time with you is enough." With those words, a warm feeling filled his chest.

"Heh… Thanks."

They began moving to the front door, and Fox continued looking around. The walls were practically glass panels.

"This place is packed." Wolf said, looking forward.

"Yeah. Do you mind?" Worry was overcoming the vulpine; so many eyes around, everyone would be able to see them.

"No. We aren't eating there, though." The lupine looked over to the younger male, and he had a questioning look. He went on. "You know the reservation I made?"

"Yeah…?"

"Well, let's just say that a certain someone that I know works here, and he gave me a free pass for a… 'private dinner'." He grinned, proud of himself.

"Oh, I see." When he looked at Wolf, the older male lifted his eyebrows, smiled and winked. The fox scratched his cheek, thinking deeply about what his companion just said and did.

A naughty thought suddenly came to his mind, and he had no other choice but to ask. "This private dinner, umm… is it, like… 'private'?" He made air quotes at the last word. "You know! Like, related to… s-sex? Maybe?" His face went on fire.

"N-no!". Wolf cleared his throat. "That's for a… more private moment."

The younger canine noticed how the wolf lost his 'touch' when it came to sex. "Does that mean… that he's taking it seriously now?"

Both males went silent again. It was a strange situation, but not bad at all.

Maybe it was all destined to happen.

They reached the front door, and a black figure opened the door for them. Fox didn't recognize who it was until he paid attention to the nameplate. "Panther!?"

"Good evening. McCloud and O'Donnell, follow me."

The three males passed through the crowd. Fox tried searching for known people looking at him, but he couldn't see anything. He only hoped that only unknown people were present.

"Here it is." They stopped in front of a wooden door. On the other side were three tables for two, placed on grass; it was still indoor, so it was warm. None were occupied, which meant they had the night for themselves. The tables also had the menu resting on them.

"I'll be your waiter for today." Panther stood beside the table, waiting for his clients.

Wolf quickly pulled out the chair, and motioned Fox to sit. "My gentleman." He grinned playfully.

"Oh! How lovely of you!". He dramatically said, placing his hand on his chest. Then, he kissed the wolf's cheek and sat down. The older male took his seat.

"So, what will it be?" Panther readied his pen and notebook.

The vulpine had to take his time. "Wolf, you can go first."

"Alright. I'll go with…" The lupine started humming for a few seconds. "Spaghetti, with tomato sauce."

"And Mr. McCloud?"

"I'll…" When he started looking at the meals again, he noticed that he still didn't choose anything. "…go with spaghetti."

"Understood. Drinks?"

"Wine." Wolf quickly answered, and Fox blinked a few times, dumbfounded.

"An-"

"Bring a bottle of red wine, Panther." The lupine darted his eyes towards him, and he flashed a smile in return.

"Alright." He wrote everything, and then left with a 'have a nice dinner'.

When the feline left the table, Fox noticed that his hands were shaking. Wolf noticed it. "What's wrong?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" He played it off, just in case he meant something else.

"Your hands."

"Fuck." He tried to control his hands. "I get nervous every time I have to pick food. Don't ask me why, but it just happens." The adrenaline was beginning to fade, and his shaking began to stop.

"You sure are weird." The wolf smiled, almost laughing.

"H-hey! I don't know what comes over me!"

"You gotta relax. It's just a meal, nothing life-changing."

"I know that already, but I… never mind. Just… change the subject."

Wolf chuckled at the vulpine. "Fine. What do you wanna talk about?"

The younger male sighed. "Hmm…" Fox tapped his finger on the table. "Well, actually…" He stopped. "What is Panther doing here?"

"I saw him the other day when I was heading home. Turns out: he works here now since the end of the war."

The vulpine's jaw dropped. "What!?"

"Yeah, I honestly didn't expect that either, but he kinda fits here with how he looks. Anyway, I told him I wanted to date someone, and here we are." He smiled, extending his hand for Fox to hold it.

And he held it. "I honestly can't believe this. I still think this is a dream." He smiled warmly, too.

"Well, this is a dream… but it came true now. I'll be at your side. Forever."

Such words gave him a fuzzy feeling inside his stomach. "Thanks, Wolf."

Panther suddenly placed the bottle in the middle of the table, startling both males. He laughed. "Sorry, but I had to do that. Here's the wine, and the food will be out soon."

"Fuck you, Panther." The lupine said, smirking.

"Not me…" The feline winked at the wolf, and then pointed at Fox with his golden eyes. "You pro-"

"Shut it." He showed his fangs. The grey canine was turning slightly red where the white was, but it was unnoticeable for the fox.

"Whatever." The black cat waved his hand and left.

"What… was that all about?" The vulpine kept looking to where Panther left, with a shocked expression on his face.

"It was nothing, trust me." He cleared his throat. "What were we talking about?"

Fox simply shook his head, putting all of those thoughts aside. "So, Panther's here. What about Leon?"

Wolf snorted. "It was a coincidence that I saw him in here. I actually have no fucking idea of where they went when we landed. Panther's here. Leon? Fuck that guy."

The fox raised his ears, surprised. "Wasn't he part of your team?"

"And? That doesn't mean he's not a psycho."

"Umm… good point." He shut his mouth for once.

"What's going on between you and the vixen?"

Fox did not expect that either. "What do you mean?"

"Do you…" The lupine's ears lowered, and he looked away. "Well, do you still hang out with her?"

"…" Fox sighed. "What do you have in mind?"

"I mean… I'm thinking that this is… not real. That you're still straight, and my loneliness is making this up."

"And you fell asleep for a month?"

"Maybe I crashed and I'm, like, in a comma or something."

"You sure have a wild imagination." The younger canine leaned forward, looking directly at the other's eye. "This. Is. Real."

The older male's eye started watering slowly. "I'm scared… of losing you…"

Fox stood and embraced his companion. "I'm fucking real, I promise." He planted a kiss on the grey and white cheek, before connecting their muzzles together.

A few tears fell from Wolf's eye, before the fox caressed his cheek, and wiped them off. "Sorry…"

"Come on… How can you be the top if you're like this?"

A wide smile formed across Wolf's face, and his mood changed completely. "You won't walk again."

The smile spread to the vulpine. "That's what I wanted to hear."

"Tonight… umm." The wolf looked away. "Do you... want t-"

"BOO!"

Both canines jumped, and Fox's face felt like hell. Panther, food in hand, was laughing again. "Seriously, you both are so ridiculous. Your orders are here."

Fox took their seats again. "T-thanks." The fox was still embarrassed. "Fuck this guy! How did Wolf bear him at their base!?"

The feline left and the dinner began. They munched the food in silence, so they could fill their empty stomachs quickly.

Wolf was the first to talk. "This is fucking delicious."

"Yeah." The vulpine gulped. "Now that I think about it… Do you know how to cook?"

Silence.

Both males stared at each other, Wolf's eye fully open. "Fox… you don't know…?"

"Umm… no?" The vulpine lowered his ears.

"We are fucking screwed."

Now it was his turn to be shocked. "You don't know either!?"

"I wasn't the chef of the fucking base! I had more important things to do!" The older male said, trying to defend himself. "Besides, what about you!?"

"Krystal cooked for us!"

"And before her!?"

"Peppy!"

The wolf face palmed. "I can't fucking believe this… The hero of Lylat doesn't know how to cook!"

The fox was starting to heat up, and a tingle of anger was starting to appear. He sighed. "Okay… wait. Let's calm down."

The other sighed, too. "Right…"

"We both can figure out how to do it. It's not hard… I hope." His muscles relaxed; he never noticed he was getting really tensed.

"Right. Sorry…"

"Hmm?"

"I got worked up about something insignificant, and we shouldn't argue like that."

He extended his hand towards Wolf. "I promise that I'll never fight with you again, for the sake of our relationship."

The older male held the hand. "I promise, too, to never fight with you. I will always try my best to be happy while I'm at your side."

Fox tightened the grip. "You are a natural poet."

"You bet I am."

They kept their position for a while, then resumed the dinner.

"Ugh… I'm fuuuuull." The vulpine held his belly and burped.

"I feel heavy." The lupine dropped his hands.

"We pushed too far…"

"I feel like I killed myself with food."

"Same… Weirdly described, but I think I feel like that."

"Seems like the dogs enjoyed their treats." Panther appeared from the door, smile on his face.

"Yeah… Tell the guy who made this that it was fucking awesome." Wolf said while slowly standing up.

"Will do." The feline happily obliged.

"I'll pay for it, Wolf." Fox reached for his pocket, but a hand quickly caught it.

"I'll never forgive myself. I made this up; it's all on me." The lupine said, with a straight look on the emerald eyes.

The orange canine smiled and nodded. "Alright."

"That's what I wanted to hear." He smiled, too. Their eyes met and their mouths started approaching.

"Ahem…" The panther stood there with an offended face. "I'm not a plant."

"You still there?" The grey canine complained, with an almost menacing look.

"Someone has to receive the money." The panther grinned. "Besides, you have to get through me if you want to reach the be-"

"Enough." The lupine tried to put an angry face, but his dropped ears and slightly reddened cheeks gave away another feeling.

"Alright. Can we finish this?"

Wolf took cash from his pocket. "Fuck… no one." He smashed the money on Panther's hand. "Let's go, Fox."

"Umm… okay?" The fox followed his companion.

When the vulpine stepped outside, he couldn't avoid shivering and embracing himself. "G-od…"

"Someone's cold."

"No shit. How is it that you're not even affected by it!?" He said, exasperated.

"I'm a true man, not like you." He grinned mischievously. "Which means that I get to be the top."

Fox smiled and looked at Wolf. "Keep dreaming."

"You're getting frozen, and it's not mid-winter yet; you are not qualified to be a top." He kept his grin on his face.

"That is just stereotyping."

"That is reality."

Both males laughed heartedly. Wolf pulled his companion closer. "This should keep you warm."

"Yeah, thanks." He sighed. "Going out with just a tuxedo wasn't a great idea."

"I thought the night would be warmer."

"Same."

They walked side by side, enjoying the silence. The younger man's mind thought about the next events… he made the question.

"So…" He said, ears drooping. "Do you… wanna go to my place?" He felt his cheeks on fire.

The grey canine knew where they were heading; it was the time. He felt ready before, but now he couldn't say anything.

"Or… maybe yours?" His hands began shaking, and his breath quickened a little. "Why is he quiet!? Did I fuck it up!? God dammit!"

"Let's…" A rough voice sounded beside the vulpine, and he turned to look at the owner. "…go to your place."

"It's happening… I'm fucking nervous." He pulled Wolf's head closer and kissed him deeply.

"Fox… I want to do this."

"Me too. I feel… ready."

"But is this a good idea?"

The doubt started creeping inside him, but he shook his head. "We spent an entire month together. Day after day, we never stopped seeing each other and… I still didn't have enough of you."

The lupine kept walking, ears up and listening.

"I want you."

Silence.

The chirping of insects, the wind blowing in his face; he listened to everything around him. Until…

"I need you."

Fox ears shot up, and he turned to face the grey canine.

"I… need you in my life. You're the most amazing fox I've ever met. I want to go all the way with you, I want to support you in all your decisions, I want to see you every single day from now on. You made me happy like no one did before."

Pause…

"That's why… I… I fucking love you, Fox."

The butterflies inside the younger canine lifted his heart; he felt alive.

They connected muzzles for a long, passionate kiss. Both males didn't care if someone was watching; they weren't scared.

They stopped after almost a full minute, heavy breaths escaping their muzzles.

Wolf looked straight into the emerald eyes. "I want to do this." He picked his lover bridal style.

"Oh, dear prince! Save me from my family's claws!" Fox said, making a dramatic pose.

"Oh, so you are the princess." Grinning, he winked. "You know what that means." He lifted his eyebrows twice.

Fox sighed. "You're fucking hot, so… yeah, fuck me."

Wolf howled. "You bet I will! It's gonna be your best first experience ever."

"I hope it is…" The vulpine traced his fingers through the strong chest, focusing on the zone close to the nipples and between both pecs. "For you, I'll be your princess tonight."

"You know, we still didn't get to the car…"

"Heck no! If you wanna fuck me, do it right. In a bed, and a good one."

"I know. We already said your place. But the car isn't a bad id-"

"No." A cold look from the fox made Wolf stop.

"Alright, alright!"

They reached the car. Fox managed to get the keys from Wolf's pocket, groping his crotch in the process. He winked.

"Grrr! I fucking want to do it now!"

It was Fox's turn to grin now. "Wait until we get home."

"You sure are a bitch."

"For you, always." He kissed the older male's cheek. Then, he whispered: "You better fuck me hard."

The lupine's ears dropped, and a tingle of red appeared in the white. "I'm getting horny with your words, what the heck."

"It shows how much of a virgin you are."

The wolf dropped him to the ground. Fox yelped. "You deserve it."

"Son of a bitch…" He felt another hand gripping his own, and the wolf pulled him up.

"Keys." He extended his hand, and the vulpine let the keys fall upon it. "Good boy. You deserve a good fuck now."

"Whatever. It kinda hurts now."

The grey ears fell. "Oh, sorry. I got a little carried away with the joke."

"Don't worry. It's gonna fade soon; it's funny to see your face when you feel guilty though, so I might do it again in the future." He smiled, to make clear that he wasn't angry.

"You little… Get in the car."

"Eager? We can enjoy the night."

"We both know that you want sex more than me."

Now his ears dropped. "…open the door."

"Ha! Easy."

Both males got into the car, and drove towards Fox's home. When the car began moving, the younger male started massaging Wolf's pubic zone.

It was going to be a long night...
