Haru sat in the shade of a large tree, legs crossed and arms limp on his knees as he stared blankly at the game in front of him. Blue eyes would occasionally, and very stealthily, shift upwards to look at his friends that were all sitting in a circle in front of him. Beads of water still dripped down their half-naked bodies, causing the water-loving teenager to frown in frustration at having not been able to join them in their romp through the clear liquid. His body thirsted for a taste of water once again, but in his current state it just wasn't meant to be.

Tail flicked behind him in agitation, but his face would remain passive and stoic, and when they decided to start the game once again he would silently accept the dice to roll his turn. But when the card popped up, he chose to stare at the water instead of reaching forwards to read it. Makoto could tell Haru was in a horrible mood, so he would instinctively read the card aloud for his childhood friend.

"You go into heat."

Different multicoloured eyes turned themselves towards Haru as the brunet finished reading the card. He could sense their stares, the hair on his nape standing up slightly as he looked back towards them and returned the looks they were giving him. There was silence for a while between the group, before suddenly:

"Haru... How are you feeling?" Makoto asked, a quizzical look on his face as green lidded eyes looked on with worry at his friend.

"Fine," the blue eyed boy replied, accompanied by a lazy blink of his eyes.

"Tha-that's good then," his friend replied with an awkward laugh, hand raising up to rub against the back of his neck in embarrassment. The rest of the boys looked at each other for a moment before silently deciding that the card must have been just another joke card.

"My turn again!" Nagisa yelped, breaking the tension as he reached for the dice.

"Nu-uh, you lost a turn, remember?" Rin sneered, blocking the blond's reach and turning his crimson gaze to look at Ai. This caused the silver-haired boy to blush and lower his head once again, followed by a 'tch, no fair!' whine from Nagisa. But he eventually pulled his hand away, allowing Makoto to reach forwards now to play for the wolves.

He grabbed the dice in his hands, shaking them back and forth before getting ready to throw them. A shallow and desperate moan suddenly resounded from next to the olive-haired boy, causing him to pause and turn his gaze to the one sitting next to him.

"Haru?" he asked worriedly, emerald eyes going wide at the sight.

Haru was panting heavily, sweat beading along his sculpted chest and dripping down his brow, plastering his black bangs erotically to his flushed face. Even though he was in the shade and in nothing but his black-and-purple swim trunks, he felt like he was burning up inside with a strange, hot desire raging in the pit of his stomach. Eyes were narrowed but erratic, their focus brought back to reality only when he heard his name. Even then he found himself having a hard time concentrating on what was going on around him.

He let out a moan as he felt a strange pulsing in his body, a hot sensation that started in his stomach before dropping all the way to his groin. Even though his face was flushed a deep red, he could feel his blood rushing to a more southward spot. Without thinking, the raven teen let out a hushed groan before dropping both thumbs into the waistband of his jammers and began pushing it down to take his swimming suit off.

"Ha-Haru!" Makoto exclaimed in embarrassment, reaching over and grabbing both of his hands to stop him from completing the motion. Haru shivered and jolted at the touch, the places where Makoto was touching him were burning with fervour. Suddenly he reversed the hold, twisting his left wrist out of its hold and latching onto Makoto's wrist instead so that he could shove his friend's hand towards the growing bulge in his swim suit.

The green eyed teen gasped and quickly stood, ripping his hand out of Haru's grasp. However, it was too late; he could still feel the hardness in the palm of his hand and couldn't stop the flushing of his own face in return as dirty thoughts immediately came to him.

"Holy shit he's sexy," someone muttered from behind Makoto, causing him to turn around and stare at the guilty party: Rin. As soon as their eyes met, the red-headed boy quickly turned his face away and blushed as if realizing what he had just said.

"We should go back to the cabin," Rei suddenly spoke up, hand shaking as he awkwardly reached up to fix his glasses, and ended up fumbling with them more than anything. He shifted awkwardly back and forth and gripped at his pants with his fists, trying to calm the raging flame that was growing inside of him. He couldn't tell any of them. Couldn't tell them that his senses were currently ablaze with the scent of Haru, the delicious smell coming from him driving him crazy with animalistic urges. Couldn't tell them that Haru was such a beautiful sight at that moment that he wanted nothing more than to pin him down and ravage him until they were both nothing but sweaty messes.

No, he certainly couldn't tell them anything of that calibre!

The others agreed with Rei's suggestion and they designated Nagisa to help bring Haru back since he seemed the least affected by the situation and would be the least likely of them to jump the heat-stricken cat. Gathering up the board, the dice, and their clothes that were strewn about the shoreline, they eventually started heading back.

The going was slow and tough, with Haru clinging desperately to his companion with groans and whines leaving his throat at regular intervals and hips sashaying desperately from side to side with the need to find a mate. The others had their own internal battles, trying to keep their senses in check all the while with Rei having the most problems. It must be because we are both cats, he muttered to himself, trying to make sense of his urges.

Finally, as the sun was close to setting, they found their way back to the abandoned cabin. Ai dashed inside to quickly make sure nothing was inside waiting for them, and when he singled the coast was clear they all dashed inside and locked the door behind them.

Nagisa quickly ushered Haru into the bedroom before shutting the door, leaving him alone in the room to deal with his heat. The door also helped to dampen the smell of heat that had been driving Rei crazy only seconds earlier. With the blue eyed boy safely put away, everyone let out a collective breath they hadn't realized they had been holding.

"Ha-ah... Well then," Rin laughed quietly, pinching the bridge of his nose with one hand as he walked over to a sofa and flopped onto it.

"Let's try to hurry and finish this game so Haru can snap back to his senses," Makoto spoke up, and everyone silently agreed as they moved to the center of the room once again and gathered in a circle with the board between them.

With the silence between them, it wasn't hard to hear the grunts and moans suddenly growing louder from the bedroom, with the faint echo of something wet in between each pant. Once again the olive-haired teen turned bright red, and coughed to clear his throat - or drown out the noises? - before grabbing the dice again in his hand.

"Rei-chan, are you okay?" Nagisa suddenly questioned, brows scrunching together with worry as his pink eyes looked at the blue-haired boy that was squirming beside him.

"I-I'm- ngh, fine!" the usually calm and collected teen panted, shaky hand once again trying to readjust his red glasses. "Just cold!" he blurted out, grabbing a large sweat shirt from their pile of clothes and throwing it on over his existing shirt. Rather than being cold, however, he was boiling from the inside out and just wanted to use the baggy shirt to cover the tightening in his pants.

Green eyes looked at him for a second to make sure he really was okay, before the brown wolf threw the dice.
