Chapter 39: Beach Episode

That night, Keanu learned that sleeping with a partner was not like in the movies, novels, and other forms of media. At some point in the middle of the night, it got too hot between their bodies, and they separated each other for some cool fresh air and abandoned their blankets altogether until they feel a bit cold again. Despite that, they still occasionally cuddled for comfort with each other throughout the night until dawn.

The dark sky from the window slowly lightened up to clear sky blue. Keanu slowly roused as he looked at the brightening window. He knew the window was facing west, so the sun was rising on the other side of the beach house. Oh, that's right, I'm staying in Xerxes' beach house, Keanu thought. His mind was busy with sharing a bed with Hunter that somehow forgot the whole reason that they were together was that they were staying for a few nights in Xerxes' beach house for the holidays. So far, they had fun here.

Now focusing back on his sleeping boyfriend with one arm wrapped on his waist from behind in the spoon position. It was warm and a bit heavy which anchored Keanu in place from moving. Keanu wanted to check on him... maybe to get the opportunity to see him sleeping. Keanu slowly rolled around to face him, somehow Hunter got the message and eased Keanu to freely move for his comfort in bed. Keanu curiously looked...

Hunter was soundly asleep, his head lying on one side on the pillow and looking all ruffled up with bed hair from the constant shifting during the night. One ear was still standing as if scanning for any noise in the presence, but none. Keanu broke a little smile, Hunter looked cute sleeping.

Hunter shifted, now laying fully on his back, his head facing away from Keanu with one right hand behind his head. The blanket slipped off a little to the stomach to show Hunter's slowly heaving chest under the black tank top. Keanu scooted closer and laid one arm on Hunter's stomach which found his left arm occupied there but it didn't bother and laid his head on his shoulder, but the right arm moved and wrapped around Keanu's shoulders behind his neck, and now had his head on his chest which Hunter's muzzle rested over Keanu's head. Keanu heard a deep inhale, feeling Hunter's warm chest rising and sinking down after a comfortable exhale.

Even up close, Hunter was a fairly big wolf and it still amazed Keanu. He could smell his body gel and the pinewood deodorant spray up close. Hunter woke up a short while later and paid attention to what was now awake.

"Good morning," he groggily said, "have you been watching me sleep?"

Keanu grinned goofily. "Yup!" he softly replied, rubbing his belly which woke one of Hunter's legs to jump a little joyfully.

"Hehe, you shouldn't have done that."

"What, this?" Keanu rubbed it again.

Hunter resisted his legs from jumping and rolled on top of Keanu, growling playfully and nibbling his lover's neck. Keanu let out a loud squeal of laughter.

"Sorry, I'll stop!" Keanu laughed.

Hunter growled like a hungry wolf, digging his muzzle into Keanu's neck and nuzzling against his fur which tickled him a little.

"Easy, I'm a little ticklish!" Keanu begged to stop.

Hunter stopped and looked at him curiously at what he just said. He leaned closer with a husky voice and said, "You shouldn't have told me that."

Keanu gulped and the next thing he knew, Hunter's hands attacked his sides with his fingertips. Keanu gasped for air. "S-stop!" Keanu writhed and rolled, trying to escape from Hunter's playful hands, but he got him in a tight spot and could not be freed from his grasp. Hunter was smiling at the best time of his life. Keanu curled his body into a ball to protect himself but could not stop wheezing. "Stop! Please!"

Hunter stopped. "Alright, but only because you said please."

Keanu recovered his breath, feeling really sensible as he rubbed his hands on the sides. "I almost peed, Hunter."

Now Hunter was embarrassed. "Whoops, sorry."

"I'm okay, Hunter, I'm... uh, going to take a shower."

"Want me to join you?" he winked.

Keanu dryly responded, "Uh, no."

"Aw~, why?"

"For torturing me, of course." He got up from the bed and picked up his hanging towel on the wall and went to the bathroom in the corridor.

Hunter shrugged as he knew he deserved that punishment. He learned something new about his boyfriend every day and today. He chuckled to himself.

...

Breakfast was served, as Milagros and Xavier had taken over the kitchen again to make pancakes for the whole group of nine. Keanu and Hunter were the first early risers to arrive at the kitchen island counter after smelling something good from the second floor. The other guys were still sleeping after turning in around or after midnight.

"Here you go, boys, enjoy." Milagros handed them fresh plates of stacked pancakes and gave them a bottle of syrups and a bowl of cut fruits on the island counter.

"Thanks, Milagros," Keanu said. "This looks good." Keanu picked some pieces of fruits from the bowl and Hunter took the bottle of syrup.

"Hey, should we wake the others?" Xavier asked Milagros.

"Go get a saucepan and a wooden spoon, they'll get very roused," Milagros said.

Xavier shrugged and looked for a wooden spoon and a pan. "Just like the manifestations back home."

Before he went upstairs, Natasha descended the stairs. "Morning, Xavier... what's with that?"

"Cover your ears, this is gonna be loud." The green parrot climbed the stairs to the second floor as Natasha joined the others at the island counter.

"So, did you guys sleep well last night?" Natasha said, ignoring what she saw earlier.

Before anyone could reply to her, they heard loud clanking noises from upstairs. Xavier must be walking around the corridor back and forth to make sure everyone woke up. "WAKE UP!!!" he shouted. "BREAKFAST'S READY!!!"

The first to respond was a hornless Broderick busting out of the door and shouted, "SHUTAFUCKUP!!!"

Xavier dashed the hell out of the corridor before the cranky reindeer would have stomped him to death.

Sergio, who was sharing a room with Xavier, busted out of the door, and shouted annoyingly, "Hey, where's the fire!?"

"Breakfast is ready!" Xavier lastly said as he descended the steps.

After breakfast, the group decided to go out to the beach a little later before noon which was adjacent to the patio. There was an iron gate that led through an earthy walking path full of bushes and palm trees that slowly changed into sand ahead in the end. They watched in amazement that at the time there weren't people around. They could still see the cliffside and the lighthouse from afar up north. They were actually nearly close to the border of San Diego County from this point.

They brought beach supplies such as parasols, towels, and a big cooler for drinks. Keanu, Hunter, and the rest wore their colorful swimming clothes as they found a spot to place their stuff and started their winter break retreat.

Until Milagros realized Natasha had not arrived yet. "Where is she?"

Her brother Sergio replied, "She told me she is trying out her new bikini before she'll catch up later."

"And?"

"She also said she was taking pics before catching up with us."

Keanu, in his purple trunks and light-blue shirt, saw a black figure emerging where they came from, and his mind was probably playing games before it hit him who she was and let out a surprised gasp before covering his eyes from the shocking sight.

Xavier turned and looked at Natasha, his mind blew up and his eyes boggled. "Anda pa'l cará..."

"Hey, guy~! What do you think of my new bikini?"

The boys were speechless as if she were pulling a joke in front of them. Natasha was apparently only in her bared, all-black, fur out in public as if they were on a nudist beach.

"You're kidding, right?" Milagros said.

"What? I worked and looked hard to find the right shade of my fur."

Milagros looked at her brother, but he responded, "I talked to her behind the door, I didn't know."

Xerxes laughed. "Looks like our beach time has gotten frisky!"

Xavier finally said, "Guys, she's wearing a black bikini that matches her black fur as if naked."

Keanu peeked a little through his fingers and he was right, she was indeed wearing a bikini and could make up the familiar lines of a bathing suit accenting her slender body by the sunlight.

"This is why I don't wear anything green," Xavier deadpanned.

"Me too," Keanu said, "I don't wear anything white, not even white underwear."

"Natasha, what gave you the idea?" Broderick asked.

"I was shopping and found this black bikini that matched my color, it was so tempting to surprise you guys. You all looked priceless. My mom nearly killed me when I wore it."

"I think you're gonna get in trouble for wearing that in public," Milagros said indignantly.

"I know, so that's why I'll only wear it for pool parties."

"We're gonna..." Xavier was about to say that they were going to have a hard time getting used to it and reminding themselves she was wearing her bikini with the same black shade of color of her fur which was uncanny, to say the least. He said, "...never mind, let's enjoy the day."

And they did, the day was too beautiful to enjoy and not put to waste. Keanu settled his little spot under a big parasol and sat on his beach mat, taking off his light-blue shirt to apply himself some sunblock on his fur and skin.

He noticed Hunter taking off his black tank top at ease and the moments turned into slow motion like a scene from a movie... Hunter shook off his head under the sun to settle the ruffled neck fur, looking chilled and relaxed as the light breeze kissed his freed body.

Keanu immediately shook his head and focused on applying his sunblock to his body. He was already dating him, and he still felt like he was still crushing on him from day one. It was a weird feeling but as if fate or the gods were playing on him to test his desires and lust by bringing the most beautiful wolfman to ever lived.

Keanu started with his arms, making sure the clear gel was deep into the fur and skin. Hunter also had a sunblock borrowed from Sol and started applying it on his chest and stomach, rubbing them until his whole furry torso looked shiny under the sun...

Keanu was back to staring without realizing it; they were really testing him whoever they were watching from above. He gulped and focused on himself and his sunblock, applying some on his face and then his chest and stomach, knowing well he would see Hunter shirtless all day. But he could not help but appreciate the shiny sight near him.

Hunter knew he was staring and chuckled, he pretended he didn't notice and said, "Do you need help on your back?"

Keanu stuttered a little and nodded. "S-sure, I'll... I'll help on your back, too. But wipe your hands first, I don't want my special sunblock mixed with yours."

Hunter obeyed, wiping his hands with his towel before proceeding on Keanu's back. "You have a special sunblock, you say? Is your fur sensitive?"

"Yeah, my fur is sensitive to the sun's rays in long periods like this, it's bad for my fur and this sunblock helps to keep it moisture, and fresh to protect me from UV lights."

"Cool, lie down and I'll help you."

Keanu turned on his stomach on his beach mat with his bare white back in view. "Make sure to rub deeper to the root and skin."

"Got it." Hunter squeezed the bottle and spurted some clear gel on his hand. He rubbed both hands covered in gel and together gently laid them on Keanu's back.

Even when Hunter had touched his fur, it still surprised him how smooth, supple, and soft his fur was when adding sunblock between his fingers. It was a satisfying feeling. He carefully pressed deeper with his fingertips to reach deeper into the skin without tickling Keanu.

Keanu's tail began to wag. He was feeling too comfortable as Hunter was practically giving him a nice massage. He giggled and said, "Hold my tail if it's bothering you."

"I'm already done. Do you want me to add some on your tail?"

"I'll take care of it; the base is very sensitive there."

"Okay, can you also do my back?"

"Sure, but let me finish my tail."

They both switched roles and Hunter was now laying on his stomach to show his muscled brown back. Hunter was giving him a smirk behind his shoulder as Keanu was adding sunblock on his tail, stroking with one hand from the base to the tip three times. He wiped his hands off with his towel and used the other sunblock.

Keanu tried not to think much and focused on helping Hunter's toned back, but Hunter's infectious smile wasn't helping, and he was waging his tail like a swaying palm leaf. Keanu didn't say anything but smiled as he was getting accustomed to Hunter's jokes and teases on every chance he got as his boyfriend. Keanu proceeded in helping his back. His back fur was a bit coarse but still soft and healthy as he dug deeper into his skin. He had a strong back too as his hands slid over his fur.

Keanu gulped as he finished. "All done."

"Ah, thanks, it felt good your massage," Hunter said playfully.

"It's nothing," he looked at the waving sea, "is the water nice?"

"Wanna have a little swim?"

"Sure, it's been a while since I've been to the beach."

The seawater was cold, especially in the winter, but they ignored it as the sun backed it up and splashed on each other like little boys in a summer break. The others joined the fun and Xavier struggled once again to sink his whole body underwater as he pointed out how the climate in California was different from his home country. He only had his legs wet and water lapping around his waist.

"Come on, Xavier!" Milagros said. "Just count to three and dip your head under."

"Just give me a moment, okay!" Xavier said.

Xerxes decided it was enough and made the biggest splash he could muster with both hands, almost creating a wave of his own, and splashing on Xavier's dried topside. He shivered and shouted, "PUETA, QUE FRíO_ CABRN!!!"_

"I can see your nipples getting tinier, Xavier," Sol said.

Xavier flushed, covering them with his green feathered, and shivering hands. "CALLATE!!!"

"Chill out, Xav," Broderick said, "even our nipples have also shrunk."

"Ugh, I can't stand it, it's too cold for me!" Xavier abandoned the water; he shook off his whole body for any hugging drip of water under his feathers and decided to lay down for some sun rays.

"He's right, it's too cold for me, too," Natasha said and left the water to join Xavier.

Keanu shrugged and dipped himself underwater for a moment to embrace the cold water again. Must be his genes as a species or something but he enjoyed the cold feeling tingling his body. Keanu was too much in a good mood and jumped into Hunter and dragged him down underwater.

"Hey, what gives?" he cried.

"Capturing you as my prey," he stuck his little tongue out and splashed some water on his face.

The wolf shook his head. "Uh-uh, you're gonna be my prey," he grabbed Keanu behind with his arms and sank down underwater for a second, and resurfaced to breathe some laughter in the air together.

Later they moved from the water into the sand as Sergio blew a colorful beach ball to play. They played a game where they must score the most points without letting the ball fall to the ground. And to make it more interesting, Sergio drew a big circle on the sand if the ball bounced out of bounds the game ended with their final score.

Sergio did the honors and bounced the ball with his hands without leaving the circle until he counted fifteen bounces after the ball went off the circle. "Think you guys can pass my score?"

"I can try," Hunter said with a challenging smile. "Gimme."

Hunter stepped in the middle of the circle and threw the ball in the air and his hands, head, and legs, he counted each hit he made.

"One... two... three... four... five... s-six... seven... e-eight... nine... te-ten--oof!" he hit the ball with his head, and it went off circle. "Damn it, just ten."

"Let me try!" Keanu said excitingly.

Hunter threw the ball to Keanu but dropped it in the sand and picked it up like nothing and stood in the middle of the circle. "Okay... one, two, three!" he threw the ball vertically in the air and gave the first hit. "One... two..." he was throwing too hard, "...three... four... f-five!!!" it went off circle. "Ah! Oh no!"

"Try again," Hunter encouraged.

Keanu picked up the ball and tried again. And this time he wouldn't hit too hard. He breathed in and out and counted to three and threw the ball in the air. He hit the first bounce. "One... two... three... four... five... six... seven... eight... n-nine...t-ten... ele-leven--wah!!!" he fell off balance by the circle's border and landed on his butt.

"Nice! You score eleven!" Hunter praised as he came over to him and lend him a hand.

"Thanks--oof!" Hunter got a strong grip that he excitingly picked him up too quickly and Keanu bumped his muzzle on his chest hard. "Ow, my nose!" He covered his nose.

"Oops, sorry, let me see."

"It's fine, Hunter, let me rest." He wiped off any sand stuck on his trunks and tail with his hands.

Keanu and Hunter sat by near the circle as Sol took his turn to beat Sergio's score. He started to count. "Seven... eight... nine... t-ten... eleven... twelve... thirteen... f-fourteen--gah!" The ball went off course and lost. "Damn, I was so close!"

"My turn," Broderick grabbed the beach ball and stood in the middle and threw the ball in the air, and counted the first hit. "One... two... three... four... five... six... seven... eight... nine... ten... eleven... twe-twelve... thirteen... fourteen... fifteen--NOO!!!" he cried and lost the ball off the bounds.

"We got a tie!" Xerxes cried.

"Wait let me try again!" Broderick protested.

"Nu-uh, only because Keanu came out short on the first try," Sol said.

"Damn it!"

"Come on, let the others play," Natasha said.

Broderick sighed annoyingly; he was so close to beating Sergio's score. He gave the ball to Xerxes.

The dragon stood in the circle, throwing the ball in the air, and counted. "One... two... three... four... five... six... seven... eight... nine... t-ten... eleven..." Broderick was mentally biting his nails. "...twelve... thirteen... fourteen..." he was getting closer. "...fifteen... s-sixteen--AHH!!!" The ball went out of bounds in the air and Xerxes swiftly tried to hit the ball hard without passing the border and scored a seventeen with an audible pop.

"Yeah! I beat--Oh-oh..." He realized the ball deflated as it fell to the ground, his claws punctured the ball easily. "Uh, sorry, Sergio...."

Sergio sighed. "It's alright, Xerxes, I can always buy another one."

At noon they moved back to the house's outdoor patio, bringing back the stuff they had brought for the beach. The patio was the most spacious spot where everyone lounged there. There was a hot tub in one corner that hadn't been in use yet. There was also an outdoor shower head to wash off the salty water on their bodies and each waited for their turns before their fur, scale, or feather got sticky and uncomfortable when dried.

This time Xerxes and Sergio took over the barbecue grill to make hamburgers while Milagros and Xavier prepared the condiments for their burgers such as hamburger buns, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, lettuces, pickles, red onions, bacon, tomato slices, and cheese slices.

"They're almost done!" Xerxes announced while wearing a black apron that said: "Your opinion is not in my recipe."

"Dude, where did you get that apron?" Sergio asked.

"I found it in the kitchen closet, it's pretty funny and roast-some," he chuckled as he opened the lid of the grill to see the well-cooked patties.

"I'm gonna write the one down," Sergio muttered.

In the lounge chairs, Milagros, Natasha, and Xavier conversed with Broderick about his new girlfriend. Broderick had been behaving well during the beach house stay so far and he did not have any hints of trouble since they met.

"How was the date then?" asked Milagros.

"Yeah, you told me it went very well, and you told me it was all a misunderstanding?" Xavier said.

"Yeah, it was all misunderstanding, turns out those pictures we saw like the private jet and the supposedly Acapulco trip? It was all a social media experiment she made a few years back. It just so happens that she reused those old pics since they look good, and she just reposted them."

Natasha asked, "What was the experiment?"

"She started her Instagram account around late high school and after getting about 5,000 followers at the time, she announced her luxury travel trip to Mexico for the summer. But in reality, she stayed at home in Rexville for a whole week taking pictures as if looked she was there, deliberately fooling everyone who was following her and once she finished her summer vacation she made a video about revealing everything she did.... which I missed to find it when she told me... so it was intentional and warmed her followers about the stuff to you see on social media that may not be true and all that jazz.

"Man, when she told me about the whole truth, I was purely relieved! I was worried that I was dating a fraud."

"So, she is an aspiring model with well-off parents?" Xavier said.

"Yes, and she is studying in Rexville to save some bucks over a fancy college degree... and she did praise my alertness about asking first before taking action."

"You really have a good sense of judgment, Broderick," Milagros smiled.

"Hey, it was all thanks to Xavier who pointed out the pics," Broderick gestured.

Xavier dismissively shrugged. "It just so happens that I know a lot about planes."

"So... Milagros, speaking of boyfriends," started Natasha carefully, "what about your ex?"

The coyote girl sighed. "He finally came to talk to me before the semester ended."

"Finally, some balls," Xavier said.

"Yeah, exactly, but this time he didn't ask me for another chance but to apologize and maybe start over again as friends. I know he is a good guy, but his friends must have been a bad influence on him."

"So, no second chance?" Natasha asked.

"No second chance but start anew and we just leave it at that. He told me how much that incident of hazing the newcomers made him rethink himself and the consequences faced later on. It's nice to tie some ends before the end of the year."

Meanwhile, Xerxes began to pull out the patties from the grill with a spatula and placed them on the plate. He made a few more if anyone wanted seconds, especially himself as a big eater. "They're done!" He announced.

One by one they helped themselves by adding their preferable condiments to their burgers.

Hunter asked Keanu, "How do you like your burger?"

"All of them."

"All?"

"Yes, cheese, bacon, red onions, ketchup, a bit of mayonnaise, a little of mustard, lettuce, one slice of tomato, and pickles."

"Heh," Hunter shrugged, "Might as well follow your example then. Except for pickles, of course."

Keanu chuckled. "It's not that bad, it just gives flavor."

Hunter and Keanu served themselves and sat at the picnic table with the others if they could find more places to seat. The small table only could handle four people at a time, so Sol and Sergio joined there under the parasol while the others sat on the lounge chairs to eat.

Sergio asked the wolf pair, "So, when did you start dating?"

"I asked him out after winning the park tickets, remember?" Keanu answered and took a bite of his burger.

"Oh, now makes sense now, it just that I been to, uh, well..."

Sol interrupted, "Sergio got into a lot of drama during Halloween, remember?"

"Yeah, we were there, Sol," said Hunter, "but you told me you know Sergio's secret the other day and--"

"You told him!" Sergio cried.

"No, I didn't, and I won't tell them," Sol assured him.

"Sorry, got curious," Hunter took another bite of his burger. "Is it really that personal?"

Sergio glared at Hunter. "Yes, Hunter. Very. Sacredly. Personal."

"And weren't you the one who asked me my personal open secret in Truth and Dare?" Keanu softly said.

Sergio coughed on his drink and flushed. "I-I didn't mean it that way, but you... but you said it, and I didn't specifically ask your orientation!"

Sol and Hunter laughed.

Keanu lightly laughed. "Yeah, you're right, s-sorry."

"Ugh, if you guys keep it up, I'm gonna lose my appetite," groaned Sergio.

Xerxes came to join Milagros, Xavier, Broderick, and Natasha in the lounge chairs and took his seat near them. He held his double cheeseburger with everything added, looking very appetizing. "So, watcha talking, girls?"

"Oh, who to sleep with tonight," Natasha dismissively said as she bit her burger.

Milagros and Xavier blew their air out of laughter and Xerxes made a weird look at what the cat-girl said.

"Eh? Aren't you sharing a room with Milagros together? What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing, we were just discussing who is available to sleep with tonight. Since Hunter, Sol, and Keanu are out of the question, Broderick is now taken, and Xavier is pretty much in an asexual mood, so this leads to just you and Sergio."

Xavier glared at her annoyingly. "I'm pretty sure I've smashed before."

"Whatever, so I'm..." she snickered raspberries, "...in the heat right now and I was..." another raspberry, "oh god, I can't say it!"

Xerxes was blushing that she was saying this out in the open but decided to play along. He shrugged, "Sure, I can help with your heat tonight." He took a bite of his burger. He swallowed and said, "Think you can handle my sausage?"

"Oh, god no, this is why I would sleep with Sergio for size convenience."

"It's okay," he shrugged, "I understand, whenever I get laid, I let my partner ride on me since I'm self-consciously big and too afraid to hurt them if I hold them too hard."

"Huh, that's very considerate of you, that's another point in my book."

"So, you're changing your mind over Sergio?"

"Uh, still no."

"I'll be gentle with you and..." He looked at Sergio at the picnic table and smirked. "Hey, Sergio, Natasha wants to get laid with you!"

She gasped. "WADIYA DOING!?" Her yellow eyes boggled widely and flailed her arms.

Sergio turned at Xerxes and then to the frustrated Natasha confusedly. "Uh, I'm not in the mood."

"Forget it, Xerxes, Milagros, and I were just joking to see your reaction."

"Yeah, I somehow picked it up, I thought I could backfire it, hehe, I guess it worked. But still, I'm up for a nightstand if you want."

"What? For real? Oh god, I'll pass, we were just trying to mess with your head."

"Oh, yeah, it did, haha!" he resumed eating his big burger.

"Hey, Xerxes," Sol said with a smirk, "if Natasha isn't up for it, can I take her place?"

"No thanks, Sol." Xerxes rolled his eyes and finished the whole half of his burger in one go. After swallowing, he perplexedly glared at him. "Didn't Hunter say you have a boyfriend now?"

"It's a work in progress, dude, so don't jump in."

"And don't bother to jump in bed with me because this package," he patted his sandy brown trunks at his crotch twice, "is for V-card members only." Xerxes laughed and Sol followed the same.

"You only fuck virgins?"

"No, that's not what I mean."

"V-card means virginity, like, taking, losing, or charging their V-card for sex. It's not exclusive to girls, guys too."

"What? I thought the V stood for vagina." The rest of the folks laughed, but they knew what Xerxes meant.

The whole afternoon was spent on whatever they pleased, playing video games, eating some snacks, napping, or chatting with each other's company. They all still wore their swimming suits with a shirt or not and carried on.

Keanu was in the living room, playing a Wii golf simulator with a motion controller, practicing his swings before doing it for real via the TV. Hunter took the opportunity and stood behind him while holding his hands on the controller as if holding a club, in this case, the driver.

"What are you doing?" Keanu said, chuckling a little annoyed.

"Helping you~."

"You know I'm good at this and I beat you in minigolf."

"Ouch, man. You know, I always wanted to do this."

"Well, maybe I should be the one helping you since you're terrible at playing golf."

"Ouch," Hunter whined, "don't hurt me like that~."

Keanu blushed as some of the guys were watching him from the back porch with snickering smiles. He pressed the button and swung the motion controller, and the character swung the ball in command. The ball landed in the fairway.

Keanu sighed. "Hunter, could you please let go, I cannot focus if you keep doing this."

"Okay-okay, sorry, I was playing with you." Hunter let go and sat on the couch.

"We can hug and cuddle later tonight."

Hunter smiled optimistically, tail wagging. "Yeah, you're right." Hunter stepped in for his turn to swing the ball. "This is easy, better than minigolf." He swung the ball hard and flew way out of bounds into a little pond. "Oh, shit..."

Keanu chuckled. "You should pay attention to your swings. That way, you can learn how to swing well in the right direction and your strength."

"Don't worry, my swings work just fine, and it leans on men and you." Hunter heartily laughed.

"Enough with the gay jokes!" Keanu laughed.

After dinner time and the night emerged from the east, the whole group gathered around the bonfire, roasting some marshmallows to make s'mores. Keanu had a marshmallow on a stick and hovered over it to warm up the sugary goodness. This reminded him of the times he spent in summer camps with his cousins and making s'mores under the starry night sky like today.

Broderick cried, "AH! It's burning!" he pulled out the burning marshmallow and blew it frantically, but it had already turned into charcoal.

"Don't place it too close to the fire, Broderick," Keanu said and pulled out his stick and his marshmallow looked nicely burned into a golden brown. "See? Mine cooked just right."

"Learn from the expert, Broderick," said Sol.

"I was just texting Whitney; I wasn't paying attention."

Hunter followed the example and kept it at a distance so it wouldn't get badly burned and slowly spun it to heat it up in every corner like Keanu's, but despite that he got one side burned he was satisfied with the results and pulled it out to make a s'more with it.

Keanu sandwiched the cooked marshmallow with a piece of dark chocolate between two graham crackers and squished them together for the final touch and ate it, just like in the old times of his childhood.

Sergio came out from the sliding door of the living room and held a small instrument. "Hey, Xerxes, look at what I found earlier." He showed him a small guitar. "You play the ukulele?"

"Uh, no, where did you find it?"

"Xavier and I found it in the room we're sleeping in. I thought it was yours or something."

"No, I don't play an instrument."

"Heh, I do," he sat on his lounge chair. "I have a guitar back home, but I didn't bring it here with me."

Natasha said, "Are girls still into guitar players in college?"

Sergio and everyone shrugged.

"You play guitar, Sergio?" Xavier asked.

"Yeah, since I was little to past the time."

"Think you can play the ukulele?" Sol asked curiously.

The coyote shrugged. "I could try..." Sergio held the ukulele; he knew it was different than a six-string guitar, but he gave it a go. It sounded cute and lively as Sergio danced his fingers on the four-string little instrument, trying to turn the songs he knew from the guitar and narrowed it down into the ukulele.

He smirked and played a familiar song that Xavier would loathe for it. The parrot already picked it up. "Despacito? Really?"

Sergio laughed and sang along, "Des-pa-cito, Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito, Deja que te diga cosas al oído, Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo~."

"Des-pa-cito." Everyone sang along, even Xavier. Natasha found pointers on Sergio in her book.

The night lived on until they went back inside the house as it was getting colder, some mingling and playing board games or playing video games. When they decided to watch a horror movie, Keanu told Hunter he would go to bed.

Sol overheard him. "Aw, come on, Keanu, are you afraid of seeing a bit of blood?"

"I'm sensitive when it comes to gore, Sol, I don't want to lose my dinner."

Sol laughed. "Okay, have a good night."

"Thank you." Keanu went upstairs to prepare for bed.

Sol sat next to Hunter on the couch and spoke. "Aren't you gonna keep him company?"

Hunter said, "Depends, what movie are we gonna watch?"

"We're watching Eel Attack! It's so bad it's good, and we're gonna do the drinking game with some beer."

Hunter exasperated and stood up. Sol said, "What? Not into it?"

"I'll pass, I have already seen the movie, Sol. I'll join with Keanu to bed."

"Uh-huh, don't forget to wear a condom, okay?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Hunter waved. "Goodnight, guys, enjoy the movie, and..." he turned back at them, "they all die in the end anyway."

"Boo! You suck!" Broderick cried and threw some popcorn to Hunter but made a mess on the floor.

Hunter laughed as he walked up the stairs to his bedroom. The room was opened and checked to see Keanu, but he wasn't there, he turned around to the bathroom corridor and heard the water running there. Keanu was showering there, so he went back to his room to wait for him, even though, there were also two other bathrooms available to shower, but one was in Xerxes' master bedroom and the other was dominated by Milagros' and Natasha's sundries and he didn't want to touch anything there. Though he could use a nice shower, he could wait.

Hunter waited, lounging on the bed with his charging phone, and could hear the loud laughter of the guys below, probably drinking at every cringy moment in the film or every laughable death scene in which they were forced to drink the whole can for laughing.

Keanu came inside the room all freshened up with a gray t-shirt and some blue cotton shorts. "Oh, you're not gonna watch with the guys?" he asked.

Hunter sat on the bed with his feet on the floor. "I already watched that movie with my siblings, it was laughably bad."

"Heh, I see, so are you going to shower?"

"Yeah, I'll be joining you with my famous cuddles~."

Keanu chuckled and his tail wagged somewhat nervously. "I can't wait."

Hunter left Keanu alone in the bedroom, as he lay in bed with his phone, his heart was pounding as his desires were coming to his mind, knocking on the door's brain to join the party. He started to think about asking Hunter for a romantic intimate time together in bed tonight. He hoped he wouldn't be pushing him or forcing himself to do it, and he was a grown wolfman that could make decisions for himself. He hoped Hunter would understand and share his love with him.

Hunter arrived in the bedroom with a fresh black tank top and some green plaid boxers to sleep tonight. Even that attire didn't help Keanu's desires calm down, he looked good in a black tank top, it snugly contoured his built frame while showing off his arm muscles. But the plaid boxers perfectly hid his goods and didn't reveal anything that resembled a bulge.

Hunter laid next to Keanu's left, joining him to sleep with some cuddles tonight. He was smiling as he rested on his right side to meet Keanu. "Really for some cuddling, Keanu?"

Keanu shifted to rest on his left to look at him with a small smile and said, "Yeah..."

Hunter moved closer, embracing with his arms, and kissing him on his forehead. "I love you," Hunter whispered.

"I love you, too," Keanu nuzzled his neck and separated from him a little. "Hunter... can I ask you something?"

Hunter could see him blushing a little thanks to the lamp behind him. "What is it?"

Keanu slowly said, "Can we... can we do more than just cuddling?"

Hunter smiled and chuckled lightly. "More than cuddling, huh? Hehe, a little eager, I see~," but his voice then changed a little serious and said, "But... are you sure?" Hunter knew in the back of his mind with no doubt that Keanu was a virgin as far as he knew since he never mentioned having a lover before.

Keanu nodded confidently with an embarrassed smile. "I trust you, Hunter, you know you won't hurt me, right?"

Hunter's heart started to pound, he said he trusted him by heart. He smiled. "That's very thoughtful and considerate of you that you trust in me." He caressed his hand on his white cheek. "I'll be easy on you, okay? I'll let you have a chance with me, and..." he looked away for a moment before looking back at those shimmering gray eyes, "...are you sure you want this?"

Keanu nodded confidently and leaned closer to kiss him. "Yes, I wanna try this..."

Hunter was pleased and responded back to the kiss and this time it was like those he gave to Keanu in the storage room, warmed and gentle with more passion. Keanu gave in, closing his eyes, and let the warming kisses take over him as Hunter gently rolled on top of him, holding him closer and deepening the kiss under the blankets.

Hunter let part of their lips and said in a husky voice up close to his ear. "When you're in bed, do you think about me?"

Keanu tingled at the alluring sensation of Hunter's manly voice up close, he looked away with a blush and said submissively, "Yeah... I think a lot about you." It was no secret at this point and the video Hunter made for him was too relevant.

Hunter chuckled in satisfaction and resumed kissing his lover. Keanu was overwhelmed but excited, savoring his lips of minty toothpaste with their tongues brushing together. Keanu slowly and gently slid his hands up to Hunter's broad shoulders, resting them for a feel of his warming strength. It wasn't much subtle, but the warmed passionate kisses dominated his mind. Hunter was a good, experienced, kisser.

The wolves for the first time would share each other's company but more intimately than anything they had gone before as boyfriends. Also known as third base. Hunter took the lead and shared his desires with Keanu but would also let him share his with him together, and they could work on each other out to complete their sessions to the finish.

...

Their clothes were thrown on the floor. They lost track of time, they did not care, but what they did know was that they enjoyed their pleasurable moment together in bed. Keanu was on top of Hunter, panting hotly for breath, and gazing at each other in the afterglow. They were speechless and smiled goofily at each other until Keanu's head exhaustively rested on Hunter's chest as a pillow. They didn't stay like that for too long and went to the bathroom together in the shower to wash off their little mess. They finished with their shower and dried themselves up with a blower. All re-freshened up to go back to bed snuggly together. They only picked up a new fresh pair of underwear and slid back under the sheet, cuddling on each other's arms. Hunter caressed his head and ears before giving him a kiss on his cheek.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you, too," Keanu mumbled before conveniently falling soundly asleep.

Hunter was proud of himself and the same for Keanu.
