Meet Me in the Locker Room
Evening was fast approaching and the day had warn on for quite some time for a particular group of track runners. The late time had assured that no one else was occupying campus grounds as classes had pretty much ended an hour ago for the day. The entire track and field was pretty much theirs, two tigers and a buck that had decided to stay to practice and socialize as the sun sank lower in the distance.
Warm spring air had begun to take over the region and everyone was feeling the good vibes that it brought. No longer were athletes confined to stay inside, and now that fresh grass was sprouting there was no better place than to be out enjoying the warm air. No snow left to be seen and hardly a cloud in the sky, the heavens were beginning to turn pink and yellow by the time the trio had begun to walk off the track. Having finished a 3200 meter work out on top of their normal training, they had stopped to sit on a couple benches near the far bleachers.
They continued to talk and drink from their water bottles, more minutes passing by. They were all wearing very sweaty clothes, each one having a bright green tank top and dark red shorts, though visibly darker due to their hard efforts for the day. As the two tigers conversed the buck pulled his cellphone from his bag and started to click through a few messages that he had received while he had been busy. A smirk played across his mouth as he read one in particular.
"Hey guys, need to unwind for a bit?" he asked and glanced back at the big cats. They paused in their talking to look at their friend and then gave a collective shrug. While the felines shared some common looks like siblings might, they certainly weren't related. Besides a few differences, the most glaring of all was that one was a cream colored Bengal tiger while the other was a plain orange Siberian.
"Aren't we unwinding right now?" The white feline asked and quirked an eyebrow. His name was Ralph and while he was the shorter of the two big cats he was easily the fastest of the three of them.
"Trust me, there's a much better way to go about unwinding. Follow me," the buck said and hopped up from the bench while gathering his things up into his duffle. The tigers shared a confused look but were quick to follow with Ralph trotting up first behind their friend. The orange tiger was pretty muscular and was almost as tall as the buck. His name was Joshua, and he was the one that ironically had the most peaceful disposition of their group. He wasn't really one to find conflict and was hardly ever a leader of any activity.
The buck crossed the field as his destination was set over on the other side, a large building that housed the weight room for the entire campus. It was also the building that housed most of the recreational gyms and equipment. They passed along the building's side, the buck's hand reaching out to drag along the rough brick surface. Eventually they rounded the corner of the building and just beyond the threshold was a door propped open by a small stick just enough that it wouldn't close all the way.
Vince, as he was known, grinned and glanced back at his comrades. "Get ready, boys, we're about to have a lot of fun." He was an obvious leader type, more than happy to take the reigns of any situation and steer it towards what he'd want. He was very charismatic, and being well built, handsome, and naturally well endowed, he was very popular around the college dorms. It was something that he certainly wasn't oblivious to.
He stepped up to the door and nudged it open before peering inside. Rows upon rows of lockers expanded into the huge room, each one having a lock on it. Beyond them was a large communal shower, but not a single sound stirred from within. Vince shoved the door open confidently and meandered in, the two cats weren't so eager to go blindly where they weren't familiar.
"The locker room?" Ralph asked and nudged past the other car. The lights were on, which was strange as they were on a motion detector and the place was an absolute ghost town this late in the evening.
"Keeg?" Vince called out and began to go down the line of lockers, looking down each as he went along.
"Who the hell is Keeg?" Joshua asked as he came in as well and let the door close behind him. Little did anyone quite realize, a thin girly form had hidden itself away behind the door's shadow. Not until it was closed did the body move and advance on the orange tiger from behind. Completely unsuspecting, as soon as the pair of small fuzzy hands nabbed his striped tail he let out a yowling roar and spun around in the blink of an eye.
He was ready to attack who ever it was, claws bared and sharp teeth showing, but the image of a feminine goat boy halted his actions instantly. He was frozen mid poise, his paws up like a feral pouncing on its prey. Oddly enough the new comer didn't flinch in the slightest, instead he let out a giggle and crossed his small arms over his body. This was Keeg, obviously. A surprisingly adventurous and not at all shy student that was attending the college. He was thin and short, his hips wide, and he had quite a few curves. If viewed from the back there was no doubt in anyone's mind that he could pull off looking like a girl.
"Keeg!" The buck laughed as he came trotting back to where everyone had converged. Ralph was craning to have a look at the young fellow and he couldn't help but blush as he found this goat to be exceptionally cute. He had two nubs on the top of his head for horns and short golden hair that was long enough to get in front of his eyes, obscuring his vision. He brought a hand up and parted the front of his bangs to show two big brown eyes that stared with wonderment.
"Hey, daddy!" the goat called out with a very soft spoken voice, like honey to the ears. The tigers had the same reaction: a quirked eyebrow and a glance shared between them.
