Chapter 32

Pressure and Confidence Issues: Part 5

Flashback

Ten years ago, a sixteen-year-old Sabre was wandering around the forest to look for some extra rations for his family, so they could have more rations when winter comes in the next four months. So far, he was able to find a few bananas, mangos and a ton of blueberries from two bushes nearby, but he's willing to see if there are more around.

As he was walking with the basket of fruit in his arms, he suddenly heard two voices in the distance. He was able to recognize them as a few of the neighbors from the village, a tiger and a bear, both men, whom his father had known for so long. He didn't know what they were doing out there, but he didn't want to bother them…

…until he heard them make some moaning noises that felt familiar and poked at his curiosity. Thinking that it wouldn't take him long, he decided to go investigate in order to find out what was going on with the two men.

As he got closer, the two guys came into view and what he saw them doing was NOT what he was expecting. The bear friend of his dad was forcefully shoving his giant cock inside of the anis of the tiger as he was clinging onto the male bear's body with all his might, taking the giant member that was invading him. In the blink of an eye, they began to smooch each other slobbery and passionately, as if they were biting down on a tasty piece of juicy grilled meat for dinner.

Upon witnessing the males having sex, Sabre was surprised and shocked of what they were doing. He suddenly felt amazed and excited about it for some reason, like he just somehow liked the sight of those two guys having sex in the forest like that. He was used to accidentally witness a few times when people in the village were having sex when they thought they were alone, but those were only men and women. This is the first time he's ever seen two people of the same gender having sex…and when he noticed the boner growing in between his legs, he was in total confusion as to why he was enjoying the sight.

He began to feel an unfamiliar feeling overwhelming him, heating up his body temperature and hardening his cock as well as making it leak. He tried to hold back his urge to attempt masturbation, but it only lasted for 20 seconds before he finally, yet hesitantly, moved his right hand onto his penis and began to rub it up and down slowly. The more he rubbed, the more his member began to leak from the pleasure.

After a few more strokes, his penis shot out a jet of cum that kept squirting out a few times over the bushes he was hiding behind (Thankfully, the men he was spying on didn't detect him) before it slowed down and stopped shooting out. His penis began to soften and relax after he relieved himself of these sexual urges that he gained, and he breathed for a bit before looking back up to the two men ahead of him. They just stopped having sex and were starting to put their clothes back on before returning to the village.

Sabre kept in hiding as they were leaving and found his chance to clean himself off from his own cum by washing it in the closest water hole he could find. He was confused of how he felt attracted to those men when they were having sex. Was he gay? Bisexual? He didn't know…

His first time of seeing men having sex with each other and enjoying it, it's possible that he is bisexual, he just needs some time to contemplate on what he was thinking that might lead to a realisation that he'll probably need to address with his family. But, what if they don't accept him for it? What if they disapprove of what he has to say to them? What if…

What if they hate him for it...?

End of flashback

"That's all there is…" Sabre said with a soft, yet nervous smile on his face.

A moment after hearing the last part of Sabre's story, the part of his thoughts about her and their parents hating him, Krystal got up from her seat and threw her way towards her brother, wrapping him in a tightening hug as tears slowly formed in her eyes.

"Sabre," she said softly. "I would never, ever hate you. I would never think badly of who you were. You are the best brother that I could ever ask for, and I love you no matter what happens and no matter who you are!"

"Krystal…" he spoke underneath his breath.

He didn't know what to say. He felt so relieved to hear that his sister was willing to accept him for the fact of his sexuality. Bisexual. He couldn't feel any happier than to be accepted by someone in his own blood family for who he was. As tension slowly began to descend in his mind for the kind words and gesture his sister had given him, he slowly returned the hug as he began to wrap his arms around her, tears forming in his eyes too.

"I love you…" he said to her softly.

"I love you too…" she replied.

"Well, it's good to know that you and your sister are ok with your little…'issue'," Falco began to speak at the wrong time. "But should we comment on the fact that you did Peeping Tom moments on adults when you were a teen?"

"What's a 'pee-ping Tom'?" the brown wolf asked in confusion.

"It's when you spy on someone when they're getting naked or are having a sexual moment without trying to get their attention," Slippy answered, getting faces from the others in the room. He got the defensive look and shook his hands saying, "W-w-which I do NOT attempt to commit myself, thank you very much!"

"Right," Leon said with a suspicious tone.

"So, aside from me," Fox began to get everyone's attention. "The only other people who told their stories are Falco, Slippy, Wolf, Panther, Leon and Sabre. Who's next?"

The room was silent for a minute, but then Dash slowly raised his fidgeting hand and said, "U-um…I'd l-like to go next…"

"You sure?" Wolf asked. "You seem too scared and uncomfortable to…"

"No, no. It's ok," the monkey replied. "S-someone's gotta contribute...!"

"Well, ok." The lupine turned his head to Fox in worry. "If you say so…

"Well, this happened a long time ago, when I left my planet to look for a new home," Dash began to explain without mentioning he came from Venom.

He was still afraid to tell them as most of them would judge and attack him if they found out he was Andross' grandson and Andrew's second nephew. He also didn't want to lose his potential new friends over it and have to flee to find another planet after he found Corneria to be a good place to start a new life in.

"Once, when I was on another of the many planets before coming here, trying to find a place to spend the night, I passed a store where they sold televisions that were displayed inside the window. Each TV showed a program that dealt with a group of male lifeguards who always rescued people in trouble in each episode." Dash's eyes softened and his face grew a soft smile as he was remembering how the show looked like to him. "They were always shirtless and quite muscular, with six packs galore! They make me blush whenever I look at them or think of them, like I'm doing right now."

Upon hearing the description of the guys in the show that Dash mentioned; Fox, Slippy, Wolf and Leon remembered that they secretly came across that television program after they found out their respective homosexuality (In Leon's case, he always masturbated several times every time he watched it. Falco and Panther saw it too, but not as often as the other four. Sabre has never seen it as it was a year since he left Cerinia when it was destroyed and didn't take much time to watch many of the shows on TV, even though the show Dash mentioned was still on production and broadcasted.

"Despite being a teenager," he continued. "I didn't know anything about sexualities because of…what I went through since I was little…"

Everyone except Fox, Wolf, Leon and Panther were confused with that last sentence.

"It's not important right now," Dash said to get back to the story. "Anyway, in the beginning, I always went by that store every day to see the program and I couldn't stop seeing those men. So big and muscular…"

As he trailed off, the guys started to blush on that last comment and almost felt like they were about to have erections. Thankfully, they were able to focus themselves as Dash continued.

"At first, I thought that this fixation was due to the fact that I wanted to be like them," he explained. "And although it was pretty serious, since I wanted to become stronger to be able to defend myself against people who used to harass me before coming here, things changed."

"They did?" Slippy asked. "How?"

"Well," Dash began. "It all started one night, when I had to sleep in a city alleyway. A strong wind blew a magazine towards my face." He twiddled his thumbs for a second. "When I took it off and looked at it, it was a swimsuit magazine for both men and women. What made me realize my sexuality was that when I was reading the magazine, my fixation was focused on only the men in it instead of the women, and it was the same kind of fixation I had when I was watching the show. That's when I realized that I liked men… and I still keep that magazine among my personal belongings."

The monkey felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned the last part about keeping the magazine.

Hearing that and seeing how Dash blushed at the last thing he said, Fox approached him and said in a low voice, "You don't have to be ashamed of having a magazine like that kept with your belongings. Everyone does the same thing. Including me."

Dash was still blushing, but not because of the magazine anymore. It was more because Fox was closer to him than usual, although they thought it was about the magazine in his possession.

"Well, I think that's it!" Wolf said, looking at everyone. "Everyone here has already revealed their gay stories, so I don't think anyone else has something hidden anymore."

Everyone was silent. It seems like everyone had finally finished telling their stories, but then they were caught off guard of what came next.

"I've got a story to tell too," said a male voice and a female voice at the same time.

Everyone was surprised to hear that, especially when they turned to the direction of both Peppy AND Lucy, because they were the least likely to have something like this. Even they were both surprised by what the other said.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" Leon asked with a hint of mock and sarcasm in his voice. "A father and a daughter who didn't know each other's sexuality. That's interesting… it seems like not being straight runs in the Hare family."

Falco just looked at Leon and intended to smack his face for the comment he made, but Fox was already looking at him and didn't want to make a scene. Also, Wolf gave Leon an angry glare as he was trying to tell him that if he made another comment like that again, it won't be a good moment in the next few minutes.

"Dad… are you…" Lucy trailed.

"Lucy… wasn't expecting this…" said Peppy.

This was awkward for both rabbits.
