Forgiving you
Chapter 5
After learning an awkward truth. Fox wasn't sure what he was feeling. But ever since Falco told him about Wolf, something in him activated, he wasn't sure what, but he knew he shouldn't let it take over. He was strong, his father taught him to be. He wasn't sure how to approach this, or avoid it. He didn't want to hurt Wolf's feelings but at the same time he didn't want to be something he thought he wouldn't be.
Fox woke up with thoughts of Wolf floating in his head. Was it faint memories of a dream he had? He suddenly recalled a scene in his head of Wolf holding him in his arms. Fox growled and shook his head. Why was he thinking these things? He thought. Fox stood up from his bed and walked into the bathroom. He washed his face and looked into the mirror. He saw Wolf's image behind him, wrapping his arms around his waist, resting his chin on Fox's shoulder. Fox put a hand on his head, growling to the hallucination. He looked back at the mirror to see his face was red. He told himself to stop thinking about those thoughts. After awhile of calming down he stopped. He walked out of the bathroom and changed into his exercise gear. He picked up a few clean clothes and put it in a bag. He went to do his usual morning routine. Go work out in the Great Fox gym. He walked out of the door with the bag over his shoulder.
Wolf grunted and huffed as he pushed up the heavy barbell to finish off his 40 rep bench press. He huffed again to set the barbell back in it's resting place. He stood up and wiped the sweat on his forehead. Exercising was a good way to keep him from worrying, the adrenaline washed away his problems. He stood up over to the punching bag, greeting it with a hard swing of his fist. He smirked as he watched the sand bag swing around from the impact. He continued to strike it with a fighter's grin on his face.
Fox was walking through the halls but stopped. His ear twitched, hearing sounds of the punching bag assuming someone was in the gym. He walked towards the entrance and entered. His eyes widened when he saw Wolf. The quick reminder of Wolf having a crush on him, struck his head once more. His heart started to race till he heard it through his ears, he noticed that Wolf was the only one around. They will be alone. It frightened Fox, but he felt some sorta excitement built up inside him. He shook his head and growled. He shouldn't let this scare/arouse him, he was Fox McCloud. He went through more worse things. This can't be compared to the danger he's been through. He walked into the gym, and set his bag on the ground.
The sound of the bag got Wolf's attention, he turned his head to see Fox. He changed from his fighter's smile to a friendlier smile. He walked towards Fox who didn't say anything.
"Morning pup." He grinned. Wolf was still in his adrenaline mode, not noticing Fox was nervous.
"Hey you wanna spar? I think I'm in the mood to fight." said Wolf as Fox sat on the bench with the barbell. Fox gulped and scratched his arm. He recalled the time when Wolf pinned him to the ground, remembering the look he gave him. Fox turned red and quickly calmed himself from suspicion. He was afraid Wolf might do it again. and this time there won't be a Falco to stop it. He cleared his voice and kept his cool.
"Sorry but I'm going to work on my chest." Fox said as he grabbed onto the bar. Wolf tilted his head and scratched it.
"Really? Your chest looks fine to me." Wolf froze after his sentence and realized he said something really awkward. He felt like an Idiot.
Fox began to turn red when he heard what Wolf said. Was Wolf hitting on him. If he wasn't careful Wolf might do something to him. Fox walked over to another station as Wolf just stood there.
"Sorry.. I just..Don't feel like it" Fox picked up two dumbbells. Wolf scoffed and turned his head to Fox.
"Scared you'll lose again?" He chuckled arrogantly to hide the awkwardness he just made.
Fox quickly thought of that time again with Wolf mounting him. It took alot out of him to forget it, and was annoyed by the fact that Wolf had to remind him, he started to growl with frustration, he looked at Wolf with a glare and yelled.
"I'm NOT scared!" He shouted, seeing Wolf flinch with a surprised look. Fox began to huff, trying to gather air to calm himself. He walked towards the exit.
"I'm gonna get breakfast.." He soon disappeared into the halls.
Wolf looked down with guilt, trying to find the source of why Fox was so angry. Was Fox still mad at him about what he said yesterday? Wolf sighed and cringed. Wolf felt like apologizing again. All he wanted now was Fox to forgive him. He walked out of the gym and headed towards the kitchen.
Fox opened the door to the Great Fox kitchen to see Falco was at the fridge taking out a carton of milk. The bird turned around to see Fox.
"Hey there buddy whats up?" Fox didn't say anything but gave a long sigh. Falco frowned telling that his friend was troubled. The bird walked over to the table and set the carton on it, then sat in the chair.
"Sit down" Said the bird. Fox walked over and sat in the chair infront of Falco.
"You ran into Wolf in the gym right?" Fox picked his head up to look at Falco, and nodded. The blue bird sighed then poured the milk into the bowl of cereal.
"What happened?" Falco said as he picked up a spoon of cereal then putting it in his mouth.
"I yelled at him..." Fox clenched his fists, feeling guilty of what he did. The bird gulped on his food and blinked
"Why?.."
Fox looked down and shook his head.
"I don't know.." he trailed off leaving nothing but silence, Falco put the spoon in his mouth and chewed as he talked.
"Was it because...He likes you?" Fox shook his head not knowing what was the problem.
"Or was it because he was gay?" Fox froze and cringed to the word. That was obviously not the reason. He shook his head again.
"No!...I just..Don't know" Falco didn't say anything and continued to eat his cereal. It was silent for a bit till Falco swallowed his food.
"Do you..like him back?" The vulpine froze as his heart began to race, he could feel the heat and sweat burn his skin. Fox wasn't like that..Was he? No can't be. His father treated him well. Fox thought that the cause of being gay was the lack of love. Which Wolf had. Fox couldn't stand the thought of him being gay. He even can't stand saying the word in his head. He was the leader of Star Fox, he can't be like this. He kept his cool using the inspiration and confidence his father gave him. He decided to continue fighting this feeling. He's beaten bigger badder things. He can handle one feeling right? Falco's voice invaded his head noticing he just zoned out.
"Hey Fox? you alright man?" Fox nodded and cleared his voice to answer Falco's question.
"No I don't like him" Fox said calmly. He was beginning to feel the progress of him forgetting the feeling which brought a smile of satisfaction on his face.
Wolf arrived at the kitchen. He opened it and quickly got the attention of the two on the table but ignored the bird.
"Hey Fox.." said Wolf. Fox just gave a serious look which quickly made Wolf nervous. Wolf started to mindlessly fiddle with his fingers.
"You... still mad at me about yesterday?.."
Fox widened his eyes but didn't say anything. He felt kinda bad to make Wolf think that. But he didn't want to tell him why. He picked his head up to see Wolf looked pretty nervous and upset. He didn't like seeing Wolf like this. He froze a few seconds and growled when he noticed that he let some of the feelings in. He demolished the thought right away.
"Ya know...Krystal isn't all that bad.." said Wolf as Fox didn't say anything, and Falco just sighed, feeling sorry for him. Fox couldn't stand being around Wolf. Not because he hates him, it's because every time he's around, the feelings come back. Fox stood up and walked towards the door. He avoided eye contact from Wolf who looked confused and worried. When Fox opened the door he backed up to see Peppy has entered before him.
"Oh hey Fox! Happy birthday!" the Hare greeted, Fox tilted his head and looked at Falco then at Wolf who was confused as well.
"Huh?...But my birthday is tomorrow." Peppy scratched his head and nodded.
"Ohh...must be me forgetting things again..damn I hate old age." Peppy chuckled. Fox looked at Wolf who seemed surprised by the fact that Fox's birthday was tomorrow.
Wolf felt slight panic run through him. Fox's birthday was tomorrow? He cursed himself for not knowing, now he'll have less time in finding a present for him. He thought in his head, what should he give Fox? He barley knew what Fox would like and he was afraid he might give him something he didn't like. Something clicked in his head finally giving him an Idea. He should call Panther. The cat gave him his phone number, he might know. Wolf looked at Fox seeing that he didn't wanna give eye contact.
Fox saw Wolf's expression light up assuming that he was thinking about giving him a present. Fox shuddered to the thought of Wolf seducing him for his birthday, it frightened him, but he knew that a part of him would enjoy it..He pushed the thought aside and noticed Wolf walk out of the room. He wondered what happened. Why didn't Wolf say his leave? Did he hurt Wolf and made him angry? Fox felt worried but tried to fight the feeling.
Wolf went to his room to get his com, he looked around and found it. He picked it up and smiled while pressing in the numbers of his former teammate. He waited while the com ringed. Soon he heard a voice.
"Hello?"
"Panther?"
"Wolf? How are you?" Wolf sighed in relief as he began to think up how to say this.
"I kinda need help with something.." Wolf can hear the surprised grunt Panther made, starting to feel embarrassed.
"Sure what do you wish to have help with?" Wolf cleared his voice and spoke.
"Well...You know that girl I talked to you about?..It's her birthday tomorrow and...well I need to buy a present..." Panther was silent for a bit then spoke.
"The Hero's festival is tomorrow." Wolf blinked not knowing what Panther was talking about.
"Huh?.." He was confused, what does that have to do with anything?
"McCloud's birthday. They announced it on the news. It's to celebrate for Fox's heroics." Wolf froze and felt nervous. Why didn't he know that? thats what he gets for not watching the news very much. He started to sweat thinking of how suspicious it sounded when he told him she was in star fox.
"I see...well I guess her birthday is on the same day..." Wolf heard Panther sigh in relief as if he got passed a problem.
"It's not Krystal" Wolf heard faintly in the background.
"Ok what do you need help with?" Wolf cleared his voice and spoke.
"A present...got any hints on what I should get?" Panther made a long pondering sound which sounded like a purr. Then he spoke.
"Does she collect anything? Females are fond of collecting Items they have high interest with such as jewelry, or anything that moves a woman's heart." Wolf was thinking then finally remembered. Fox collects those dolls.. He said he was missing the Wolf doll. Him.
"I got it...Thanks Panther I owe you." Panther chuckled through the com.
"It's a pleasure." Wolf smiled feeling good about the help.
"I'll be going now. Take care Panther." He closed the com and picked up a jacket to go out. He arrived at the store he went before but it was closed. Wolf growled and cursed. Looks like he'll have to go tomorrow. He went back to his car to drive back to the Great Fox.
Fox didn't feel good he kept worrying about Wolf even though he kept trying to ignore the feeling. He went back to his room to take a nap. He collapsed on his bed still worrying for Wolf. He hurt him.. He hoped Wolf wasn't angry at him. He grabbed his pillow and started to hug it tightly. The crew told him Wolf went out. Fox cringed and started to feel guilty. Wolf wanted to avoid him... He closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
The next morning Fox opened his eyes to see the ceiling reflecting sunlight onto his face. He stood up and yawned. He was used to the morning rountine so he picked up some clothes and went out to the gym. He entered the gym to see Wolf doing Bench presses again. Fox watched Wolf's strong heaving chest as the lupine payed attention to his reps. Fox blushed realizing he was staring. He walked in and set the bag down. Wolf stopped doing his exercise and looked at Fox with a serious look, kinda like when they were enemies.
"Hey there Wolf." Said Fox with a slightly nervous tone. He didn't know why he felt nervous. Maybe because he hurt his feelings yesterday. Wolf sat up from the bench and stood up, walking towards Fox.
"Lets spar" Wolf said with a slightly aggressive voice. Fox couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated. Wolf looked angry and maybe he wanted to punch the life out of him for yesterday. Wolf was big and strong. He couldn't fight him properly without trying. Fox gulped as he stared at Wolf's body through the muscle shirt he wore. He shook his head and tried to gather his senses back.
"S...sure" Wolf didn't reply, he just walked over to the arena. Fox sighed and walked towards the arena too. Once Fox got into arena Wolf didn't give him a chance to get ready. He charged and swung a fist into Fox's stomach. Fox let out a gasp as he hit the ground. Wolf waited for Fox to stand up, giving him an evil glare. Fox got into a fighting pose but started to shiver. He admitted he was scared. Wolf charged again as he thrust his fist at Fox. He was ready this time blocking the strike with an arm. Wolf backed it up with another punch which hit Fox in the face. It pushed him to the ground. The punch distorted his vision making everything a blur. Fox suddenly felt weak. He was huffing for air. Wolf was too strong. He looked up to see Wolf walk to him, he began to hear that low gruff voice.
"I should have done this a long time ago..." Wolf said with a smirk. he knelt down as Fox closed his eyes. He didn't want to watch. Wolf was going to kill him. He should have been more nicer. He regretted what he did. Suddenly Fox felt something soft and wet on his lips. He opened his eyes to see Wolf giving him a kiss. He could feel his tongue running over his. It felt good. Fox was enjoying it. But then he quickly reminded himself he shouldn't let this feeling win! He let out a muffled grunt and broke out of the kiss.
"Wolf..what are you doing?" Fox was shocked to see Wolf's face look more innocent then before.
"Hey there pup" Wolf said with a smile. Fox felt something grow in his pants. feeling aroused by Wolf's body touching his. Wolf began to kiss the vulpine's neck, leaving Fox holding in a moan.
"Wolf...stop..D-don-" Fox paused as he huffed. Wolf stopped when Fox closed his eyes. Fox let out a yelp when he felt something press onto the sensitive part on his lower waist. He opened his eyes to see Wolf's hand stroking him. Fox let out a whimper, struggling to break free.
"Wolf stop it right now!" Part of him wanted it to stop but the other part wanted him to keep going. Wolf tilted his head and gave a chuckle.
"But you seem happy I can tell with how big this thing is getting." Fox couldn't believe what he was hearing. He continued to whimper but was interrupted with a kiss from Wolf. Fox was kissing back this time. But stopped to see that this was wrong.
"Wolf stop it...I'm serious..." Wolf kept kissing him and stopped to nuzzle his neck.
" I can tell you love it pup" Wolf began to slide his hand into Fox's pants. Wolf trapped him in a kiss as Fox began to sink into darkness.
Fox shot up from his bed with a yell, sweating wildly. A nightmare or a dream? He shook his head and growled. Why is he thinking these things? Its wrong. Wolf is a male and He was a male too. It's obviously wrong. He huffed with stress then began to calm himself. He looked outside to see sun rise. He guessed he slept too long. He got up and shuddered thinking he shouldn't go to the gym today. He walked out of his room and headed for the kitchen.
Wolf was at the store finally. He woke up extra early so he could buy the present. He picked up the Wolf doll and looked at it, chuckling at how strange it was for him to hold himself. He walked over to the counter and set the doll on it. The same raccoon chuckled again.
"For your girlfriend again?" Wolf nodded and took the doll after he paid. He smiled from the thought of Fox smiling at him again when he sees this. But he felt like he needed something else. He never had a present before but he remembered that people put the item in a box and wrap it with some kinda paper, and by luck there was a material shop near there. He had to be quick not wanting to miss out on Fox's ceremony.
Fox entered the kitchen hearing the sound of sizzling eggs and bacon. He darted his head to the stove to see Krystal cooking breakfast. She turned and smiled.
"Good morning Fox" Fox yawned and nodded.
"Morning Krystal." He walked over to the cupboard grabbing for a box of cereal but a slim blue hand stopped him.
"Your breakfast is here" she giggled, pointing at the pan. Fox looked at the eggs and bacon. He just realized no one ever cooked him breakfast before. It was good to have someone cook him something once in awhile. Krystal gestured him to the table, he walked over and sat on one of the chairs.
"Thanks Krystal. I appreciate it" He smiled and noticed that it's the first smile he ever made in a while. Krystal smiled back and picked up the eggs and bacon with a spatula and put it on a plate.
"It's for the birthday boy hehe" she gave Fox a kiss on the cheek. Fox felt a bit surprised but happy. He forgotten what he was worried about. He picked up the fork to eat. While he was chewing he noticed a small box was set beside him. He looked up to see Krystal who just kept that smile on. He looked at the box again then looked at Krystal.
"Well open it silly!" Krystal giggled playfully as she nudged Fox on the arm. Fox picked it up and slowly pulled the ribbon on the top then picked the lid up to see a blue metal pendent attached to a thick rough string Fox didn't know what to say about it he just felt a bit surprised.
"Like it? It's made from a Metal only found in Cerania" Fox's jaw dropped slightly. he picked it out of the box and looked at it through the sun.
"It's very beautiful...Where'd you get it? Krystal put her hands behind her back and looked happy that Fox was impressed by the trinket.
"It was my father's he was the king of Cerania before Andross destroyed our planet." Fox nodded and looked at the pendent. He picked it by the string and put his head through the loop, looking at Krystal.
"So How does it look?" He smiled. Krystal giggled and put a hand on Fox's shoulder.
"It makes you look handsome." Fox laughed doing a formal pose.
"Well does it make me look kingly?" Krystal laughed too and bowed.
"Certainly, your majesty" Fox grinned and continued to eat. Fox seemed more happy with Krystal around. Maybe he could get through this feeling that is barley showing right now. The door slid open to let the old hare in.
"Oh Fox happy birthday! You'll need to get ready for the festival and your speech. Fox forgot about the festival. He still thought it was a hassle to have a birthday this big.
"Oh..ok I'll make sure to think about it." Fox went back to his room to write his speech.
Wolf finally got all the supplies. He struggled and growled when he clumsily cut his finger by the scissor, He taped the edges and made sure he got the right length of paper for the box he bought. He knew he'd suck with wrapping presents seeing how messy the present looks. But he didn't worry he thought Fox wouldn't mind how bad the wrapping is.
Fox was at his desk trying to prepare for the festival with his speech, took him awhile to write most of the stuff down. He included the honor and the risks he had to take to please that honor. He also added the loyalty and the help of his teammates. Falco, Slippy, Krystal, Peppy, and... Fox winced at the name when he had to remember it. He felt like a jerk when he heard himself say he wanted to forget about Wolf. Fox stopped writing and just sat there feeling a bit guilty while his other self tried to lift up his spirit. He continued to write when he felt like he got the relaxation.
Fox finished his speech just in time and wiped the sweat on his head with relief. He stood up and headed off to the docking bay. The mayor of Corneria city requested that they enter with their Arwings. The team is waiting down there now. When he arrived, the team was already lined up by their Arwings. He looked at each and one of them but noticed Wolf wasn't here. What happened to Wolf? Was he still angry at him for being such a jerk in the gym? Fox worried but stood his ground since it wasn't time to worry. It was his birthday..It's a happy day. Falco looked at Fox and spoke.
"Where's Wolf?" Fox looked back with a frown and shook his head.
The doors slid open as the lupine looked around. Bridge seemed to be empty. He remembered that before he left Peppy told him that everyone was suppose to make an entrance with their ships. He ran to the docking bay hoping he wasn't late. He quickly put the present on the bed and continued to run to the docking bay.
Peppy just remembered something and fixed his glasses to look at Fox.
"Oh I remembered he said he was gonna go out to buy something."
Fox looked down changing his thought. Probably Wolf bought him something? He didn't smile to the thought but had faint pleasure run through him. HE had the upper hand with emotions this time.
"I see." Fox walked over to his Arwing, Falco sighed and scratched his head.
"Shouldn't we wait for Wolf?" said Falco crossing his arms. Fox just stopped and sighed. If Wolf shows up Fox would have to deal with the feelings again. Why can't he escape it? Fox heard the door open as everyone turned their heads to look. It was Wolf. Fox flinched when he saw The lupine huffing at the door.
Wolf was catching his breath, complaining in his head about the Great Fox being so damn big. Wolf walked over and looked at everyone then at Fox who was speechless.
"Sorry I'm late I had to do something." He smiled sheepishly. Wolf looked at Fox who looked away. Wolf felt stupid for being late. But it was worth it since he got Fox's present in time.
Fox cleared his voice and spoke.
"Welcome back Wolf...Now lets take off, were gonna be late." Fox didn't look too happy when he said that. Which made Wolf feel like he disappointed Fox. They all hopped into their ships and flew off to the landing pad prepared for them in Corneria Park. They've attatched those colored smoke devices on their engines to leave a colorful trail as they pass by. Guess it was to fancy up their entrance. When they arrived they all turned on their smoke hearing cheers from below. They did barrel rolls and U turns to impress the audience. Then after the show they all landed. Fox was greeted by the Mayor of Corneria city.
"Well done sir Fox! That was quite the show" The old blood hound said while he shook Fox's hand. Fox scratched his head and chuckled nervously.
"That was no problem" Fox looked behind the mayor to see out door tables set and fancy stuff decorated around. It kinda looked like one of those out door weddings. The mayor gestured towards the isle. He walked across it along with his team. They were attacked by a swarm of photographers sending a barrage of flashes towards the team. Fox didn't get a break to focus his vision which made his eyes hurt. After going through the blinding lights they saw a huge cake which looked like it could serve everyone. Fox was impressed by the display. Suddenly a group of girls surrounded him. He jumped from surprise as they all stuck out their note books in front of his face. All of them started to talk which sounded like a group of reporters then a fan club.
"Forget about these girls! take me instead!" A rather over weight girl said. Which made Fox shiver.
"Oh my god! I love you Fox!" One of the girls screamed, Fox took a step back when one of them tried to enter his personal space.
"Mr McCloud! I'm such a big fan! Can I have an autograph?" The next girl pushed her and inched her face a bit closer which made Fox uncomfortable.
"Fox! are you single?" Fox looked very uncomfortable with the question, he looked at Krystal and Wolf who glared. The Vixen didn't look very pleased and Wolf just glared at one of the girls as he crossed his arms. He was about to reply but security came and pushed them all back behind the line. He sighed in relief, it was tough being famous.
They all enjoyed them selves with fancy food and beverages. Wolf busied himself with wine while everyone chatted with someone. Wolf looked at Fox who was dancing with Krystal. He looked happy.. He looked down and stared at his drink, letting the depressing aura make him sober. Wolf saw the reflection in his glass and noticed that someone sat beside him. It was Falco.
"Hey fur face whats up?" Falco said as he crossed his arms.
Wolf just mumbled something as he was starting to feel drunk again. He took another sip from his cup and continued to look down. Falco scratched his head. He could tell that Wolf was heart broken from the sight of Krystal and Fox together, he felt weird but wanted to cheer him up.
"Hey...you alright?" Falco actually sounded concerned which was embarrassing to him. Wolf looked at the bird and tilted his head with a lazy wobble.
"What?.." Falco scoffed and spoke.
"You heard me...you doing ok?" Wolf felt a bit surprised but felt depressed from the overdose of alcohol. He decided to let a bit out. He felt like he needed help with this.
"Not really.." He said as he stared into his reflection in the red wine.
"Mind if I know?" Wolf turned his head lazily again and looked back. He didn't know what to say. He was still a bit drunk so it was hard to think. He didn't wanna give himself away so he just said something easy.
"What do you do when someone's angry at you?" Wolf heard himself slurring a bit, but waited for a reply. Falco looked surprised that Wolf was actually NOT insulting him this time but he went along with it, he turned his head looking at Fox who was sitting on a chair far away from them, talking to Krystal. Falco didn't know how to reply but tried his best to cheer Wolf up.
"Well..What makes you think they're angry at you?" Wolf was silent as he tilted his drink back and fourth to let the liquid stir.
"..Fo-...I mean...Th-They just act like it..." Wolf's heart was racing when he almost said Fox's name. Falco didn't look surprised but he made a little smile. Falco wasn't very good with this love stuff since he never had someone himself. He enjoyed the freedom of being single.
"They must be in a bad mood then. If they are pretty mad at you then I think you should...Give them presents or something. Dunno presents would make me happy If I were in their position, Instant forgiveness ya know?." Wolf smiled to the thought. Fox might love the present he bought. Wolf noticed that Falco just made him smile. The bird usually makes him frown with annoyance. It's good to have someone to talk to. He didn't feel pressured, unlike with Panther he didn't have a past with Falco. Except for dog fights but past as in the bird doesn't know about him. Falco smiled as Wolf smiled back.
"Have you bought her a present?" Wolf was silent when he heard the word "her"
"I...umm y-yeah I did." Falco snickered a bit and let out a few laughs.
"Wh..what you laughing at Bird?" Falco held his smile and shook his head.
"Ahaha nothing"
Fox took a sip of his wine and noticed that Falco was talking with Wolf. Wolf looked happy, so did Falco. They usually don't smile like that with each other. Fox began to feel some kinda irritation build up inside him. His heart began to ache and he didn't know why.
"Whats wrong Fox?" Fox had a delayed reaction, he turned his head to the voice.
"I-I'm fine.." Krystal was suspicious now, she followed the direction where Fox was looking before, to see Wolf. She winced and felt a bit jealous.
Fox just tried to stay calm as usual. He couldn't keep this up, his heart had durability and it was almost at it's limit.
"I'm...gonna get another piece of cake." Said Fox with a serious tone. Krystal just sighed and spoke with concern.
"Oh..Ok." Fox walked over to the foods table, ignoring the greetings from people he passed by. Wolf couldn't like Falco in that way can he? Probably not, because Falco isn't his type, He was his type, Falco better stay away from his Wolf or he-. Fox paused and groaned, his Wolf? He couldn't believe what he just thought right now. He was doing it again. He took a piece of cake and felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Falco.
"Hey buddy! whats up?" Fox gave a glare and noticed that he was feeling that anger again. He calmed himself and spoke.
"Nothing much...So...what are you doing...with Wolf?" Falco blinked and chuckled.
"Don't worry I didn't tell him about you knowing" Fox nodded with a forced smile then picked at his cake.
"We talked a bit and ya know Wolf isn't such a bad guy." Fox felt that feeling again... Was it jealousy? Why was Fox getting all jealous for Wolf? Falco irritated him. He was feeling angry again and he didn't notice that he was glaring at Falco. The bird was surprised by the look Fox gave him.
"Fox?...you alright?" Fox calmed and cleared his voice.
"I'm alright" The vulpine walked back to his seat with Krystal. Falco blinked with confusion and sat back with Wolf. As he sat back Wolf looked at him. Falco scratched his head and looked back at Wolf.
"Sheesh Fox sure is moody" Wolf tilted his head and froze, he gulped. Did Falco know that he liked Fox? No that can't be..
"I talked to him at the food table and he was angry at something." Wolf thought Fox would only direct his anger on him. So maybe that must be it. Fox was angry at something else. Wolf was at ease now. He didn't have to worry about Fox being mad at him. He gave a sigh of relief. Once again Falco made him feel better.
"Thanks" Said Wolf as Falco gave a confused look.
"Whaa?" Falco didn't know what to say.
"Just take the damn thanks parrot" Wolf said with a grin. Falco glared a bit then laughed.
After the ceremony it was already getting dark. They all went back to the Great Fox to sleep in their rooms because they seem more fond with it then their actual homes. Fox couldn't sleep. He rolled around to get comfortable but he couldn't seem to get the feel. Maybe because he was thinking too much. He stood up and went to the kitchen. When he arrived he opened the fridge and took out the milk and sipped out of the carton while no one was looking. Suddenly he heard foot steps from behind. He quickly spun around and took a defensive stance. The figure jumped back and held up his hands.
"Whoa pup it's me!" He sighed and scratched his head. He felt very cautious from the mood he was in. He looked up seeing Wolf surprised. Fox put the milk back in the fridge.
"Sorry" said Fox as Wolf let out a chuckle.
"Thats alright." Wolf cleared his voice and let the silence float around a bit till he took out a box from behind him.
"I..didn't get to give you this...So...Here." Wolf handed the box to him with a smile. Fox's face didn't budge when he took it in his hands.
He looked at the box seeing that it was poorly wrapped. He tore off the first wrinkle of paper he saw and continued to tear it all off. He lifted the lid and his eyes widened a bit. He pulled out a Wolf plushie. The one he was missing. There was long silence in the air.
Wolf's smile slowly faded when Fox just stared at it with no expression.
"You...don't like it?" Wolf looked down as he scratched his head. Fox didn't reply he just continued to stare at it. Suddenly Fox started to walk away. Wolf didn't know what happened. He just stood there with a frown.
Fox was at his room again. He sat on his bed and looked at the doll. He remembered why he didn't buy the Wolf plushie in the first place. He had these feelings back then. He thought everyone would be suspicious if he got it. He frowned feeling bad for leaving Wolf like that, he was sweet enough to give him a present and he was suppose to be the last person to give him one. He winced and pulled the doll close and rubbed it against his cheek.
"Wolf.." Suddenly He heard his room door open, the sudden sound startled him, making him throw the doll across the room. Wolf was at the door. just standing there speechless. Fox regretted what he did but didn't say anything. He saw that Wolf's ears were folded, with a frown, after a few seconds Wolf left.
Fox held his head and growled. He felt so stupid. He hurt Wolf again.. Fox stood up and walked over to the door. He wanted to apologize. He was hesitant at first but stepped out the door. He was at the door of Wolf's room. He was about to knock but paused to hear faint whimpers behind the door. It hurt Fox's heart to hear Wolf in alot of pain. He decided to go back to his room to avoid another encounter. He felt like a jerk.
Wolf hugged his pillow and whimpered. He wondered what he did wrong, people were suppose to be happy when someone gives them presents. But that wasn't it, Fox didn't hate the present..He hated Wolf. Wolf tried his hardest not to cry. He was a tough guy he wasn't suppose to cry but it was hard since Wolf didn't experience love before. What was the reason why Fox hated him? He had to know. Maybe he should make up for his bad present.
The next morning, The first thing that entered Wolf's head was Fox. He left his room and went to the gym remembering Fox always uses it every morning. He opened the door with a surprise. Fox wasn't there. He left and decided to check the kitchen maybe Fox was done and went to go eat. He opened the door to the kitchen and frowned. Fox wasn't here either it made Wolf worry. He turned back and went to his room Wolf hoped that he would be there. He checked, and he wasn't there. Where'd he go? Wolf bit his lip and walked around to look for Fox. After a while of searching he went to the kitchen again. He saw Falco.
"Hey Falco...Have you seen Fox around? " Falco sighed and looked back at Wolf.
"Well..." Then Falco paused. Wolf could tell that Falco knew something. Out of desperation Wolf walked over and spoke with a worried tone.
"Please...can you tell me where Fox is?..." Falco looked like he was suppose to keep it a secret but he told Wolf.
"He's at his house..." Falco sighed and looked at Wolf who looked relieved.
"Thanks Falco.." Falco smiled and nodded. Wolf exited the ship and went off to Fox's house. When he arrived he gulped. Fox might want to stay away from him.. But he wanted to see him... Wolf walked over to the door and knocked. He waited as his heart started to pound against his chest. He heard someone walk to the door. It opened slowly. Wolf gulped when He saw Fox stare at him wide eyed.
"H-hey Fox?..." Wolf couldn't stop his shaky voice. He couldn't help but feel afraid. Fox didn't reply so Wolf spoke again.
"I know my present wasn't much...so...How would you like to.. go out for dinner?...I know this fancy place that has pretty nice food." Wolf didn't know what else to say. But he remembered eating at this place called Carpe' diem, food could please someone right?. He didn't want Fox to think he was asking him out so he added.
"Ya know...For your birthday?" Wolf thought it was late but it would count as a present.
"It's on me.." Wolf gave a nervous chuckle as he rubbed the back of his neck. Fox wanted to, but his other self was stubborn.. He shouldn't give in to this feeling...
"I'm...Not hungry.." Fox looked pained when he had to deny. Wolf's nervous smile wilted into a frown.
" ok I understand.." Wolf walked back to his car as Fox just stood there watching his teammate drive off.
Wolf was at home. Felt like a long time since he's been here. He didn't have to worry about bills because he bought it. He sat on the couch resting his elbows on his knees. He planted his face into his hands and groaned. He couldn't believe what he said. He messed up. He looked up and remembered about Panther. Maybe Panther can help? He pressed the numbers in and waited till the ringing stopped.
"Wolf?" Panther expected him, assuming he saw his number on the com screen.
"Hey Panther..."
"Something the matter?" Wolf sighed and cleared his voice.
"She's...angry at me...how do I make her happy?.." Wolf pinched the bridge between his eyes out of stress. Panther was thinking with his usual deep hum.
"Presenting the woman's favourite flower makes her happy." Wolf looked up and remembered about Fox liking those Star flowers. He stood up and smiled. He couldn't give up yet.
"Thanks Panther I owe you." Panther chuckled.
"My pleasure" Wolf stood up and walked out the door.
He was at the flower hut he went before. He was looking at all the stars to see if there are any scratches or bruises. He wanted a perfect one. He smiled when he spot a perfect bouquet.
(This is perfect! Fox would love these) He thought with satisfaction. He picked it up and bought it.
Fox was at his couch feeling guilty. He couldn't handle it anymore..He didn't like hurting Wolf. Maybe he should give in to his feelings? It's been long enough and acting like this didn't make anything better. He planted his face into his palms and sighed. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. He looked up and walked over. He opened it till the figure appeared. It was Krystal.
"Hello Fox..May I come in?" Fox nodded and let the vixen in. He closed the door and went back to sitting on the sofa as the vixen sat beside him, putting a gentle hand on his back.
"Fox whats the matter? You seemed troubled..." He looked at Krystal then looked back down at the floor.
"What do you do..when you don't want to feel something...But you want it at the same time?" Krystal knew what he was saying and rubbed his back.
"You just need some confidence...thats all."She didn't want to encourage it so Krystal tensed the rub, turning it into a massage. Fox murred to the massage as he closed his eyes. He was relaxed till Krystal put her head on his shoulder. She put a hand on his chest. Stroking it affectionately.
"Krystal?.." Fox turned his head but was halted by a kiss. He didn't know what was going on. But he let himself sink in. He thought that if he let this go on, the feelings for Wolf would stop. He kissed back and held her close. Krystal began to unbutton Fox's shirt. She pushed him down slowly onto the sofa. Fox saw that this was gonna go far but he let it.
Wolf arrived with a smile on his face. He parked by Fox's house and looked at the mirror to see if he looked ok, he picked up the flowers then he was ready. He went out and walked towards the door feeling sweat slide down his forehead. He hesitated at first then knocked on the door.
Fox woke up and focused his eyes. He gave a groan and looked down to see Krystal sleeping on his chest. He barley remembered what happened. Did he want this?...He felt like he did something wrong, he put a hand on his face and growled. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Who could it be at a time like this? He stood up and noticed he was naked. He slipped on a pair of boxers and walked over to open the door.
"What is i-?" Fox widened his eyes to see Wolf standing on his porch, he looked rather happy.
"Hey Fox I-.." Wolf paused and noticed someone was on the sofa. His ears began to fold, and his smile slowly faded. Krystal was there and by what Wolf saw he could tell that they...
Fox panicked when he saw Wolf's eyes looking at Krystal sleeping. He winced when he could see Wolf's lips tremble. He looked down at Wolf's right hand and saw a bouquet of flowers. His heart ached when he noticed that they were his favourites. Wolf bought it just to give it to him. He just wanted Fox to notice him again. It pained him to see how much Wolf looked hurt.
Wolf turned around and walked over to his car. Fox extended a hand and opened his mouth. But no words came. He watched the lupine drive off in his car. Fox felt so much guilt that he wanted to hurt himself. His eyes started to water, letting a few tears out. He closed the door and sat on a chair away from Krystal. He rested an elbow on his leg and covered his eyes with a hand. He let out a few whimpers. Krystal opened her eyes noticing the pained whimpers. She looked up to see Fox sitting on a chair ducking his head till she couldn't see his eyes.
"Fox?..Are you alright?" Fox shook his head and slammed a fist on the arm rest.
"Leave.." Krystal was startled and felt hurt by that single word. She was confused and had to ask why.
"Something the matter Fo-"
"JUST! leave..I want to be alone." Krystal looked to the side as her eyes started to well up.
"I...understand." She didn't really but wanted to give Fox his space.
After she changed she left the house. Fox was alone after hearing the door close. Why was he so stupid? Why did he have to do that? Now he hurt someone he loved. Fox picked his head up with eyes wide. He relaxed himself and bowed his head again. He really did love Wolf.. He just couldn't admit it. He was afraid to love him. He was afraid everyone would be ashamed. Wolf must be hurting right now and it was all his fault. He stood up and decided to go over and apologize.
Wolf entered his house and shut the door behind him pressing his back against it as he slowly slid himself to the floor. He let out a few whimpers resting his head on an arm. Fox loves Krystal...He doesn't love him. After letting out a couple minutes of tears he growled, he clenched his teeth and stood up. He shouldn't be acting like this.. He was Wolf O'Donnell. All that training his father gave him wasn't for nothing! He wasn't made for love, he was made for the battlefield. He was so stupid to think he could make Fox fall for him. He threw the bouquet of flowers to the ground and stomped on it. He walked over to a near by shelf and knocked it down. He watched with rage as glass items fell to the ground along with books making a messy pile, picture frames and glass shattered from the force. He turned towards the wall dented it with a punch making a roar. He picked up a chair and threw it against a hanged up photo of him and the Star Fox team, causing it to break. He ended his fury by driving his fist into the glass coffee table in his living room. He huffed, ignoring the blood sliding down his arm. He stared at the glass that turned red from his boiling blood. He didn't just feel pain on his fist, he felt pain in his heart. He just sat there not caring about anything. There was a knock on the door which got Wolf's attention. He stood up and walked over. He opened the door and saw Fox, he let out a bit surprise that barley budged his angry expression.
"What do you want?" Said Wolf with an irritated tone. Fox could tell that Wolf was angry.
"Hey Wolf...I just wanted to-" Something on the ground caught Fox's eye. It was the bouquet Wolf had earlier, now it was crushed. Wolf followed Fox's eyes to see he was looking at the flowers. He growled to himself and scooped it off the ground. He threw it on the sofa and picked up the bookshelf he just knocked over.
"Wolf..." Fox saw the damage Wolf did. It was all his fault. Fox's eyes widened when he spot a large cut on Wolf's arm.
"You're hurt..." Wolf shook his head and continued to clean up his mess.
"I'm fine" Fox walked over to the cabinet in the kitchen and pulled out a bandage roll and a bottle of anti bacterial alcohol. He walked over to Wolf and kneeled beside him. Wolf turned his head and growled.
"I said I'm fine." Fox didn't listen and took his hand in his. Wolf snarled and shoved Fox away. Wolf was huffing in stress now. He looked away, not saying anything. Fox didn't say anything either, he took Wolf's arm and dabbed it with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol. Wolf let Fox do whatever. He didn't care anymore. Fox wrapped the bandage around Wolf's arm all the way to his hand and he was finished. The air was still silent. Fox saw that Wolf didn't look happy. He gave a guilty frown, wanting to make up for this mess.
"Do you...still wanna go to that dinner?" Wolf couldn't believe what Fox said making his eyes widen a bit, It took him awhile to feel his heart start work with passion again, he was a bit surprised that Fox would ask was he trying to trick him? He knew Fox wouldn't do that, he knew Fox very well, after seeing the positives he gained back the small glow. Fox began to feel relieved when he saw Wolf's mouth slowly slide up into a smile.
"You...You mean it?" said Wolf wanting to make sure. Wolf felt excitement rush up when he saw Fox nodding his head with a smile.
"Of course!" Wolf froze and cleared his voice.
"I mean..sure" Wolf didn't wanna look like an idiot after what happened. Fox gave a small laugh.
"Ok then. tomorrow at 7:00? Wolf nodded with a smile. The feelings for Fox has returned. He should give this one last try. Fox stood up and walked towards the door. He gave a wave then left. Wolf felt happy again. Even though Fox slept with Krystal he was glad that Fox wasn't angry at him anymore. He walked up stairs to sleep.
The next day Wolf got ready for that dinner He rented a tux, cleaned his fur, and made sure he smelled nice, wearing some cologne Panther suggested he'd use. He waited outside Carpe' diem wearing his suit, he fixed his bow tie and looked at his watch, he saw that it was 6:54. He was kinda early but he didn't mind. He thought it was worth it. He noticed a presence approach him. He looked to see Fox in a suit. Wolf blushed as he felt the heat rising, he thought that he looked very handsome. The suit he was wearing made it hot enough already. Wolf cleared his voice gesturing towards the door. When they both entered. They looked around and found a two seated table. When they approached it Wolf thought he should do something cool. Like when the gentlemen always takes the chair out for the lady. He pulled out a seat and gestured towards the chair.
"Wolf what are you doing?" He looked over to Fox who was already sitting on a chair opposite side of the table. Wolf blushed and sat down. He felt so stupid.
Fox gave a chuckle. He thought it was pretty funny but cute at the same time. He felt a tiny bit surprised when he thought about him as cute but that didn't matter. They looked at their menus deciding what to order, all the sea foods look delicious, Wolf and Fox decided to order a lobster along with fresh Sauria berry wine. Wolf could hear the waiter's voice from behind him.
"Can I take your order sir?" Wolf nodded and thought that the voice sounded very familiar and very annoying.
"Yes can I have two lobsters and a bottle of Sauria berry wine?" He turned his head and jumped a bit from surprise. The waiter jumped in surprise too recognizing Wolf.
"L-Leon?" Fox was surprised as well staring at the lizard who just kept looking back and forth with Fox and Wolf.
"Boss?... What are you doing with Fox?" Wolf started to sweat, he didn't expect Leon to have a job here.
"I...uhh...Just get our damn food!" Leon jumped and saluted.
"Y-yes boss!" He dashed off to get the food. Wolf sighed and looked at Fox who just gave a weird look. Wolf was embarrassed now. It was awkward. He couldn't stop the silence. They just sat there for a while till the waiter came back.
"Here you go...gentleMEN" Wolf frowned at the tone and glared at Leon who dodged it with a quick turn of his head.
"I-I'll talk to you later boss!" He set the food down and quickly dashed away from the two. Fox raised his brows and poked a fork through the lobster. Wolf did so as well.
Time passed by. They seemed to be having a good time, awkwardness faded. Fox felt happier, happier then with Krystal. To be honest Fox just thought of her as a sister. Wolf was enjoying himself as well. He felt like he could just hug Fox close and just have a nice moment. Leon just watched from a far and began to feel suspicious. After they ate they left the restaurant.
"I had a good time Wolf." Wolf nodded and blushed.
"Yeah." Wolf was too flustered to say anything after thinking about the encounter with Leon. They had an awkward silence for a moment till Fox spoke.
"Ok I'll see you later." Since the restaurant was close to his house he walked. He heard footsteps from behind and turned around to see Wolf following him.
"Hm?..Thought your house was the other way?"
Wolf blushed not knowing what happened. He knew his house was the other way but his body automatically followed Fox. He rubbed the back of his head and turned the other way.
"O-oh yeah Sorry I'll be going then."
"Wait..." Wolf turned around to see Fox extend a hand. Wolf could see Fox blushing and wondered what was in that head of his.
"You...you can sleep over...If you want." Wolf's jaw dropped a bit, turning red. He never expected Fox to say that. Was Fox planning something? Wolf felt nervous but excited.
"Ok lets go" Fox gestured his head towards him, showing those perfect teeth of his with a handsome smile. Wolf followed as he stared at that fluffy tail.
They were at his house. Wolf looked at the sofa and is in relief that Krystal wasn't here.
"Want the bed again?" Wolf turned his head to Fox and looked at the sofa. He didn't wanna lay on it since that time when he saw Krystal laying in it, kinda made him uncomfortable.
"I-I'll take the bed." Fox nodded then threw himself on the sofa. The lupine felt kinda upset that he had to leave Fox even though he was gonna be as close as the room below. Wolf walked up the stairs and entered the room. His jaw dropped a bit when he saw the Wolf plushie he gave him. Wolf felt his heart rise as he began to think about Fox sleeping with it. He smiled and lay himself on the bed. He picked the doll up and looked at it. He heard footsteps from behind and rolled over to see Fox wide eyed he noticed that Wolf was holding the doll.
"I...uh...I forgot to put it on the shelf..." Wolf could see it now. Fox really did like him. It made him really happy but he couldn't just hug him right away. He needed to find the right chance. Fox gestured for the doll and Wolf handed it to him making a blush. He gave an awkward wave and went back downstairs. Wolf sighed and closed his eyes. He felt really happy.
The next morning he felt something laying on his arm. He was too tired to open his eyes too look but it felt nice and warm. He held it closer feeling more comfortable. When he opened his eyes, Fox was sleeping next to him, and it was closer then before. Wolf was feeling intense heat, Fox felt so soft and so warm an-. Wolf paused as he began to fully focus his eye. It was just a pillow. His face sagged. He stood up feeling the urge to check on Fox. He stood up and walked out the door. He walked down the stairs to see Fox sleeping on the sofa. Wolf's eyes widened when he saw Fox holding the Wolf doll in his arms, Wolf smiled when he saw Fox sleeping peacefully with a smile. Did that mean Fox loved him back? He couldn't be sure but this looked obvious. Wolf turned to walk back up the stairs but heard Fox mumble.
"murr.. Wolf..." The lupine made a small chuckle as he began to walk back to Fox's room. He sat on the bed thinking to himself. It was exciting to know Fox loves him. He heard rustling down stairs assuming Fox was awake. He heard him walk up the stairs, heading to the bathroom. Wolf heard the shower turned on. Wolf kept thinking of when he'll get to see Fox all nak- Fox's com rang, interrupting his thought, he groaned and walked over to it. He picked it up and looked at the number. It was the Great Fox number. Wolf thought it was important so he answered it.
"Hello?"
"Fox?" Wolf's eyes widened when he noticed the british accent. Krystal was on the other line.
"Err..." Wolf paused. Krystal recognized the sound of the voice.
"Wolf?...What are you doing in Fox's house?" Wolf gulped and remembered Krystal slept with Fox. Did Fox really love Krystal? Or is she a beard to him? He cleared his voice and spoke.
"I...Just came by to...say hi but then...He went to the bathroom..and..The com rang." Krystal made a grunt or growl through the com, which made Wolf nervous, but the tense feeling disappeared when he heard her sigh.
"Anyway...We've got a mission...Tell Fox to meet up at the Great Fox." She hung up right away which gave Wolf a puzzled look. She sure sounded irritated wonder whats her problem. Fox entered the room in a few seconds to see Wolf was up. He never felt so nervous in a long time. He was just wearing a towel and was beet red, finding it awkward.
"O-oh..good to see you're awake Wolf." Wolf looked up and down that attractive toned body. Fox gulped when he noticed Wolf checking him out. Wolf was busy staring and almost forgot.
"Oh...right..ahem...Krystal called and said we have a mission." Fox looked down and sighed, Feeling kinda bad with what he said to her yesterday.
"Alright lets go."
They were all in the Great Fox bridge now to see everyone greet them with a nod, except for Krystal who gave a glare. Fox sat in the captain's chair and opened up communications with General Pepper. The hologram fizzed for a few seconds till the blood hound appeared.
"Fox! Corneria's power system is being attacked by the Sharp claw! Please help us!" Everyone looked at each other with a surprised expression.
"Whats the reason?" said Fox who was curious why the Sharp claw would attack Corneria.
"They're after the Venom cells, were currently using it as the power source" Everyone gasped after hearing what General Pepper just said. Wolf turned his head to Fox.
"You didn't tell him about the imploding side effect?" Fox scratched his head and sighed.
"I...uh...Forgot.." Wolf did a face palm as Pepper tilted his head in confusion.
"What did you say about...Imploding?" Wolf walked forward and spoke.
"We noticed that by taking the Venom cells out of the base caused it to implode... It might have the same effect on Corneria! But It'll be even worse!" Pepper was startled by the info making a big gulp.
"Then we need your help to fend off the Sharp claw before they reach the power system's core!"
Fox nodded then looked at everyone.
"Ok team..Lets kick some prehistoric tail! They all went to the docking bay. They hopped into their Arwings and flew towards the Planet's Power system. They were greeted by a swarm of Sharp claw fighters. Fox dodged some lasers, rolling to the right.
"Damn! I never would have thought Sharp claw would use Star fighters!" He fired rapidly shooting a few fighters down. Once they've taken all of them they all had to land to take care of the ones inside. Once they entered they were attacked. A sharp claw roared, jumping as he swung his mace towards Fox. He dodged the attack and kicked him to the ground. The thud of the sharp claw got the attention of the others. They all charged in for the fight. Wolf took out the staff and pointed it towards the group, sending out a mist of freezing air which turned them to ice. The star Fox team charged in firing their blasters at the remaining sharp claw. Falco threw his reflector against a Sharp claw's head, it bounced off then was airborn, Falco used the air time to shoot at the reflector button which sent a shock wave towards a group making them fly back.
"Hehe how was that eh?" He looked at Slippy then at Fox. Slippy made an annoyed groan at Falco's cockiness.
"Show OFF!" Slippy said with a frown. Wolf chuckled arrogantly as he sprayed ice along a path. He ran and slid across it ,spinning his staff to hit multiple sharp claw.
"Can you beat THAT?" Wolf said with a tone that rival's Falco's cockiness. The bird scoffed while crossing his arms. They soon entered the core to see the Venom cells concealed in some kind of immunity glass, seeing sharp claw trying to break it. One flew into the air screaming when Fox shot at one of them, they all charged forward, looks like the best of their men were in here, they can tell when they noticed the blasters and the swords. They all began to engage in a fight. Slippy stayed behind the team shooting some enemies while Krystal and Falco focus on melee attacks. Fox and Wolf just did their best to protect each other. Suddenly the big group forced them to separate which got most of them vulnerable. Fox growled to see that their formation was shattered. Wolf sent a shockwave into the ground which took out a whole lot. He huffed heavily, The staff must have used his own energy. He turned around to see Fox, his eyes widened when he spotted an enemy approaching him from behind, the enemy had a sword ready. Wolf dashed, not wanting Fox to get hurt. Fox turned around to see a Sharp claw raising his blade against him. He widened his eyes and saw the insane look on his face. The dinosaur swung his sword as Fox stared at him he had no time to dodge. Suddenly Wolf came infront. He yelped, taking the blow to the chest. Fox gasped when he saw Wolf on the ground bleeding. He growled and fired his blaster at the Sharp claw. That was all of them but that wasn't what Fox was thinking about right now, he was focused on the condition of his companions, but he felt that Wolf was more important. Fox turned his head to see that the Venom cells were ok.
They were all at the Great Fox relaxing from that big fight while Fox was in the med bay with Wolf.
"I...I can do it myself.." Wolf said as he took the bandage patch from Fox. Fox took it back and shook his head.
"No...let me help you...I owe you" Wolf looked down to the side and sighed.
"Fine..." He took his shirt off revealing the cut." Fox couldn't help but stare at Wolf's muscular body. His heart started to race, he ran his hands over the curves on his chest. He could hear Wolf grunt and look up to see his face cringed.
"That hurts pup" Fox laughed nervously.
"S-sorry..Where was I?" He looked at the bandage and nodded and placed the patch on Wolf's chest, covering the cut. Wolf sighed in relaxation, feeling the bandage take effect.
"Thanks Fox." Wolf reached for his shirt but was stopped when he saw Fox's hand resting on his. Wolf blushed, his heart was heard in his ears. He slowly turned his head to Fox who was just staring at Wolf with arousal. Wolf stared back, starting to feel aroused himself. Fox couldn't hold his feelings anymore, he leaned forward, pressing his muzzle onto Wolf's chest and began to kiss it which brought Wolf pleasure. Wolf couldn't believe what was happening. He felt so much excitement flow through him it almost made him dizzy, he looked down at Fox to see he was enjoying himself. Fox began to lick and rub his cheek against his chest. Wolf murred slowly wrapping his arms around him to bring him close. The contact made Fox look up, Their noses were inches apart from each other. They gave each other a dazed look, they both slowly leaned in sharing a passionate kiss. Wolf couldn't believe it. He was actually kissing Fox, he could feel their tongues colliding with each other feeling the wetness of the touch.. Was this another dream? He was too distracted to think. They broke a part soon and looked at each other.
"Fox..." Wolf said quietly, he could barley focus his thoughts, all he could think about is how great that kiss was. Fox rubbed his chest and kissed him again. Wolf loved the feeling of Fox's lips. He tightened the embrace. Suddenly the doors of the med bay opened.
"Hey Fox Krystal wants t-" They broke out of the kiss and tried to gather their senses. Fox shook his head and looked over to see the green toad shocked from what he saw.
"Slippy..."
"I-I..Uh ummm I gotta go!" The toad left the room in a flash. Fox broke out of Wolf's embrace, turning away with a growl, he put a hand over his forehead..
"What have I done..." Wolf winced a bit and put a hand on Fox's shoulder.
"It's ok pup..." Fox shrugged out of Wolf's grip and gave a snarl.
"Y-you don't understand...I can't be like this..." Fox felt himself tremble, the denial came back to him, the look on Slippy's face was the face he was afraid of.. He could imagine everyone he knew with that face.
Wolf felt bad. He didn't like seeing Fox like this. It hurt his heart to see him so scared. Wolf walked over and slowly wrapped his arms around him. Fox shook his head.
"N-no.. Wolf...I-I can't..." Wolf could feel Fox struggle a bit but felt like he didn't try. Fox couldn't help it anymore and pressed his muzzle into Wolf's chest, he felt more comfort doing this. Wolf heard his sweet Fox whimper in his arms.
"I'm sorry Wolf...I'm so sorry I hurt you..." He felt Fox dig his muzzle harder.
"It's ok pup..I forgive you.." He held him in close in a comforting embrace. Suddenly the doors opened again but this time it was Falco who was at the door. Fox felt frightened but felt courage when Wolf was around. They saw the bird walk up.
"Fox...Wow I kinda didn't believe what Slippy said." Fox's heart started to sink when he heard that Slippy told him.
"Who else did he tell?" Falco scratched his head and spoke. He told Peppy...aand thats it. Don't worry Krystal doesn't know.
Fox planted his face into his palms. Falco went over and pat his back.
"Don't worry buddy, you can rely on me." Fox looked up at Falco and gave a small smile.
"You don't mind me being..." Falco laughed and crossed his arms.
"I was fine with Wolf right?" The lupine gave a puzzled expression and tilted his head.
"Y-you knew all along?"
"Yeah I found something in your room that made it obvious, you should really learn how to hide things." Wolf's ears folded giving a hard blush.
"But all and all is fine." He patted both their shoulders and grinned.
"But you better watch out for Krystal, who knows what she'll do." The mystery scared Fox. He doesn't know what Krystal would do. She loved him too. It'd break her heart if she knew. Falco waved and walked out the door. Wolf was alone with Fox again, he hugged him from behind comforting his lover. Fox smiled and held his arms close.
"I..." Fox felt hesitant at first but gathered his courage to say it.
"I...Love...you Wolf.." Wolf nuzzled Fox's shoulder, happy from the words and hugged him tight.
"I love you too Fox..." He lay his head on Fox's shoulder. Wolf's heart was racing, he was still excited, his tail started to wag. Fox laughed when he could hear Wolf's tail swish in the air. He thought it was adorable. A big tough guy like him made it so cute. Fox turned around to face Wolf who just gave him a smile. They leaned in for another kiss.
The old hare adjusted his glasses, hearing the two from behind the door. He didn't seem to be ok with this, Fox is like a son to him, he felt hurt to think he did something wrong to make him like this. Fox's father wouldn't be pleased.
(I'm sorry... Old friend...) The old hare walked away, leaving the lovers alone.
