Chapter 7

Akino was lying in bed after another check-up by the doctor. He was healing remarkably fast and he had only another week before he could get back out.

He looked back at the cloch to see that it was 6:00, which means that the zoo is now closed, which also is the regular time that Becky and Stacy came to check on him. It wasn't a minute later when Becky and Stacy jumped into the window and climbed up to his bed.

"Hey Becky, hey Stacy." Akino said, sitting up from his bed.

"Hi Akino." the badgers replied as they each planted a kiss on each side of his face, making his heart pound and his face blushed.

"Do you have to do that every time?" Akino asked, the blush still visible on his face.

"Why not?" Becky conquired, putting her hands on her hips.

"Good point." Akino replied, nodding.

"Anyway, the doctor said I still have to be here for another week before I'm out." Akino explained as he sat back on his bed.

"Oh, well that's good news. So whatcha feel like doin?" Stacy asked Akino.

"Right now, I was gonna watch TV, care to join?" Akino asked, patting each side of the bad, signalling Becky and Stacy to take a seat.

"Sure." the badgers said as they took a seat on either side of Akino. As they were watching TV, Becky and Stacy rested their heads on Akino's shoulders. Eventually, they fell asleep, and Akino gently layed the 2 sleeping badgers down on the bed. Now with nothing better do do, he leaned back and dozed off himself, laying down right in between the two.

Several hours later, Becky and Stacy woke up on Akino's bed and on each side of him.

They looked down at Akino and coldn't help but smile at the sleeping lupine. Not wanting to wake him up, they quietly crept out of the window and headed for their habitat for some sleep.

XXXXX

Once the last week was up, the doctor said Akino was free to go and Akino jumped up and licked his face (What dogs do) and ran out of the infirmary.

He then made his way to the badger habitat and went near the cave. There, he heard Becky and Stacy oin their bunks, talking to eachother about him. Being curious, he decided to listen.

"Hey Stace?"

"Yeah?"

"You know, I'm starting to like Akino."

"Beck, everyone likes him."

"No, I mean like like him."

"Oh, I do too."

"Really?"

"Yes, whenever I'm near him, I feel all fussy inside and I don't know why."

"I do too. I think we're in love. Both of us."

Akino's eyes widened and and he felt his heart rate increase.

'Wow, I never thought that they felt the same.' Akino thought as he continued listening.

"Yeah, do you think he feels the same way?"

"Maybe he does. I hope so, he's so nice, cute, and irresistable."

"Yeah, he is. Hey Beck?"

"Yeah?"

"Which one of us do you think he'll pick?"

Before Becky could decide, Akino decided to make himself known and walked into the habitat.

"Hey you two, how've you been?" Akino asked as the 2 badgers ran up to him to hug him.

"Akino, we missed you!" Stacy shouted, Becky nodding.

"But you've only last see me since yesterday." Akino replied as he returned the hug. All of them felt their hearts flutter and blushes occured. After a minute, they broke apart.

"So, what do you two have in mind fo today?" Akino asked.

"Right now, we just want to relax." Becky replied as they each layed down on the wall of their habitat and looked up at the sky, enjoying eachother's company. They began talking among eachother about... well everything. It was almost like they were on their first date. They were talking until Becky let it slip that they like like Akino. Becky them covered her mouth just as soon as she said it.

"You do?" Akino said, suprised that he heard it from her.

"Well... okay yes, we like you, a lot." Stacy said, both of them expecting him to explode, but it never came.

"Becky, Stacy, I feel the same way, about both of you, but I didn't think you'd feel the same way." Akino said before they both passionately kissed him on each side of his lips, holding onto him tightly, no longer wanting to let him go.

"We love you too, Akino." the badgers said as they let go of him. Akino smiled warmly at them and layed back down.

"Thank you, you two. Its getting dark, shouldn't we head inside for some sleep?" Akino suggested as the three headed back into the cave.
