Jake woke up the next day with Lucas sill holding him. He smiled lightly and saw the wolf's eyes open slightly. "Hey..." he said and licked the wolf's nose.

Lucas smiled back and chuckled as the bear licked him, "How are you?" he asked and moved a little.

"Good..." Jake said then thougt for a moment, "better..." he replied more truthfully.

They laid there for a moment, enjoying the time then Lucas slowly sat up. He looked over and sighed, "Well, I'd better get to work...and you," he said slightly sternly, "you should get some relaxation..."

Jake laughed, "I'm more relaxed when I'm tense...besides I want to help...I can atleast do all the brain work...'

Lucas smiled at the bear, "...You need to rest..."

Jake rolled over on top of the wolf, "I'm going to help whether you want me to or not..." he said and smiled at Lucas. He kissed the wolf lightly on the lips.

Lucas pushed Jake off him, "fine..." he said with a smile.

They got up and went into the kitchen. Lucas was surprised when he saw his father there. "What are you doing here still?" he asked.

"Wow...what a greeting..." he said with a laugh, "Work called and said that I have half the day..."

"Oh, Ok...well morning..." Lucas said.

Mr. Vadikson looked up and saw Jake coming up behind him, "You OK kid?" he asked.

Jake looked up, "Yeah...much better..."

"That's good," Mr. Vadikson replied with a small smile, and gestured for Jake to sit down. He looked at Jake a bit more seriously now, "I guess we need to talk, don't we?"

Lucas looked over at his dad, "Dad, is now really a good time, I mean Jake's-" he said but Jake cut him off.

"It's not a problem...about Lucas moving in with me?" he asked.

Mr. Vadikson nodded lightly, "What are your terms?"

"Terms?" Jake asked confused.

"What do you want and stuff like that...And how much should we pay you for this?" Mr. Vadikson asked..

"Nothing...Lucas moves in with me and I get some good company and maybe a little help with cleaning I guess. As for money...I'm not really concerned with it, if you really want to do something with it then you can give it to Lucas so he can cover other stuff...if I can say that..." Jake said, trying not to sound blunt.

"Do you realize you're letting someone stay under your roof without asking anything from them?" Mr. Vadikson asked.

"What is there to ask...I don't need a reason to help out a friend, and if I can ask you something; are you ok with this?" Jake said. He looked behind him and saw Lucas watching from the counter. Jake saw Mr. Vadikson's face change and felt like he had hit a problem area. Jake looked over at Lucas and saw him watching the conversation passively.

"I have my reserves..." Mr. Vadikson said calmly.

"I'm not asking you to trust me...but to trust in the trust your son has in me," Jake said, not really thinking about it.

"Do you think Lucas trust you?" Mr. Vadikson asked, and looked over at Lucas.

Jake didn't turn around, he knew that's what Mr. Vadikson was waiting on, "I beilive in him, and the trust he has given me," Jake said and chuckled, "as cliché as it sounds..."

Mr. Vadikson smiled, "They're called cliché for a reason..."

"I'm sorry to act like this under your roof, and I understand that you would have reservations about your son living with me, but I wouldn't say this if I didn't believe that Lucas and I could live together. There will be problems, but that comes with anywhere you live, and I know that me and Lucas can build off each other, socially and academically," Jake said, choosing to keep it plain.

"You believe that huh?" Mr. Vadikson asked, staring at the bear's face.

Jake looked over at Mr. Vadikson, "Umm...one sec..." he said with a small chuckle and he turned over to Lucas, "Dude! Can you get over here and at least sit...I feel like I'm negotiating for a slave or something," he said with a laugh.

Lucas laughed and walked over and sat next to his father. Jake noticed that Mr. Vadikson was smiling and had an approving look on his face.

"OK...I'm fine with it if Lucas is..." Mr. Vadikson said with a smile, "You were smarter than me...I was only thinking about the idea, you were the first to ask Lucas to join us..."

Jake didn't change his expression. Deep down he felt like that was what Mr. Vadikson was aiming for the entire time-to see if he would ask Lucas what he thought about it. Jake looked over at Lucas and gave his goofy grin to the wolf who smiled lightly back.

Lucas was glad that his dad approved, now it wouldn't feel as bad. Lucas leaned over and hugged his father quickly. He felt his father return the hug then break away and look at him, "...Get to work..." he said calmly.

Lucas frowned, "...Wow...so much for a touchy-feely moment," he said with a laugh and looked towards the garage. He stood up and went outside, grabbing up the pipes to start the installation.

Jake stood up and followed after Lucas. He turned around and looked at Mr. Vadikson; "Thanks..." he said and walked out. He could've sworn he saw the wolf cry a little, but he dismissed it. Once outside he stepped lightly and moved to the pipes and picked some up. He saw Lucas in the hole and walked over, "Here you go..."

"I told you, I don't want you to work...rest..." Lucas said as he took the pipes from the bear.

Jake sighed, "I'll rest in the evenings...besides the hardest part is done...thanks to yours truly..."

Lucas smiled, "Yeah, yeah..." he said and stopped as his father emerged from the house.

"I want you two to run to town...I'll stay here and put finishing touches around here..." Mr. Vadikson said.

"What do we need to get?" Lucas asked, curious.

"The lining and what not...It should be ready at Conrad's place...you still know where it is?" he asked as he helped his son out of the hole.

"I haven't been gone that long..." Lucas said with a smile. He looked over at Jake and gestured for him to follow him, "Come-on Big-guy...we're now like the slaves that built the pyramids...we just have to get the slabs..."

Mr. Vadikson chuckled, "No, the slaves had it easy, because after that I want you to build the 'pyramid'," he said and waved his son off.

They got into the car and began to drive off. In the car they talked and laughed about random things. They soon arrived at the place and got the materials they needed, and Conrad gave them a cart to carry it. It was lots of gravel, sand, and a special lining. Jake pushed the cart, despite Lucas's complaints and on their way out ran into Gina. "Lucas!" she yelled from across the store.

She ran up to them and Lucas smiled, "Hey Gina, what's up?"

"Well, it's my dad's place...so I'm just chilling...looking forward to Saturday," she said then looked over at Jake, noticing him for the first time. "Who's this?" she asked curiously.

"Jake..." Lucas said.

Jake leaned against the cart and sighed, his head feeling light. He felt himself sweating lightly from pushing the cart, and guessed that it was too soon for him to try any hard work. Jake could feel the fox looking him over and grew fidgety. He smiled at her and waved but didn't say anything. He didn't know why but he couldn't find anything to say to the fox. He looked over at Lucas.

Lucas caught that Jake was uncomfortable and began to speak, "Well, yeah..." he said, not really knowing what to say either.

Gina seemed to break from her stare and laughed, "Oh...I'm sorry...I'm Gina, a friend of Lucas," she said and extended a paw.

Jake lightly shook the paw, his own paw enveloping hers. "It's a pleasure to meet you," he said. Jake jerked felt his paw shake lightly and he jerked it away, jamming it into his pocket. He looked back at Lucas, who had a concerned look on his face. Jake mouthed an apology.

Gina looked up at Jake then at Lucas, "He's big..." she said, not seeming to notice their silent dialogue.

Lucas poked the bear in his stomach and laughed, "Yeah..."

"Are ya'll coming on Saturday?" Gina asked.

Jake looked over at Lucas, confused. He cocked his head and waited for the wolf's answer.

Lucas looked over at Jake and mouthed an apology, "If Jake is up to it," Lucas said.

Gina now looked over at Jake, "Everyone wants to get together, but Lucas won't go unless you go..."

Jake still had his head cocked, "Umm...OK...I guess I'm going then..." he said, in a quiet voice, not really sure what was going on. Jake looked over at Lucas, "My head's a bit fuzzy...I'll be in the car..." he said and walked away. He pulled his paw out of his pocked and made a fist a few times.

Lucas watched the bear walk off, weakly stepping around the store. Lucas looked back at Gina.

"Is he OK?" Gina asked, watching the bear.

"I hope so..." Lucas said with a sigh then changed the subject, "But yeah...I guess we'll be there..."

"OK...Well, it looks like you have to get going...want me to help you get this to the car?" she asked referring to the lining.

Lucas began to push it and felt the fox help too, "Yeah...sure, thanks..." he said and they pushed it outside.

In the car Jake leaned his head back, feeling light headed. He closed his eyes and tried to relax. Jake felt himself going back to sleep quickly. He found himself asleep within a minute, but grimacing again.

Once they were outside they were able to get the things in the car quickly, and they talked for a bit. Lucas looked over in the car every little bit checking on the bear, making sure he was OK. He talked with Gina, planning for Saturday. "Yeah...that sounds good," he said, agreeing with the fox's plans.

"OK, cool," she said and began to walk off. She turned around and looked at Jake through the window then back at Lucas. "Lucas, you didn't tell me he was cute,"

Lucas frowned, "I don't think that's my area of expertise...and really...drooling over someone who doesn't feel well?" Lucas asked, shaking his head.

Gina laughed, "Sorry, but you never answered the question from before...I was curious..."

Lucas got in the car and waved good-bye. He got out of the parking lot and began to drive. He looked over at Jake periodically, glad to see that Jake's grimace had faded and he seemed to be sleeping more contently. Lucas heard his phone vibrate and picked it up, "Hello?"

It was his father. He needed him to get something outside of town. Lucas frowned, not really wanting to drive that far out, but agreed. He hung up and turned in the direction he needed to go. After about half an hour he got to the store. He left the car on for Jake and ran inside to buy what he needed. He bought it and quickly left and got back in the car, Jake still sleeping. Lucas just got on the highway when the bear moved again. He looked over sleepily and Lucas smiled at him, "Hey...you OK?" he asked quietly.

Jake sighed and put a hand to his head, "Yeah...my head is still a bit sore, on the outside and in, and I guess I'm a bit lethargic at the moment..." Jake said and closed his eyes again.

"You want to see a doctor?" Lucas asked.

"Nah, it's not as bad as yesterday and I'm sure it'll feel fine soon...maybe I'll just pop some more painkillers..." Jake replied.

Lucas leaned over and patted the bear's stomach, "OK...just say the word and I could be at a doctor though..."

"Thanks, but I'm feeling better right now actually...maybe you were right...just some rest," Jake said and sat up with a groan. "Where are we?" he asked looking out the window.

"My dad wanted me to pick up some more supplies...so I had to go out of town anyway..." Lucas said.

"How long was I out?"

"Maybe an hour..."

Jake looked over at Lucas, "What's going on... on Saturday?

"Oh...my high school friends want to get together and all that...and of course your invited and what not..."

Jake nodded his head, "Ok...sorry about back at the store, I just blanked out..."

"Don't worry about it...but on a side-note; Gina may try to hit on you..."

Jake looked over, "What?"

"Gina; she'll probably make moves on you..."

"Why?"

Lucas looked over at the bear and smiled, "I wish I knew, I really do..." he said jokingly.

Jake sighed, "Won't that be awkward?"

"Not for me...she likes guys your size..." Lucas said with a chuckle.

"Great...Well, I can handle it..." Jake said then looked over at Lucas, "What are we doing Saturday?"

"Well the guys want to get a bite then go see a movie, then after that we'll probably all hang out. We sometimes go to the park and just chill, it's out hang out I guess."

"OK...sounds easy, and fun I guess..."

Lucas looked over at Jake, "Do you want to go? If you're worried they won't like you then stop-they will."

Jake's eyes opened a bit, but he tried not to show Lucas had hit it on the dot; "I'm not worried about that..." he lied. He did feel better after Lucas said that though.

Lucas chuckled a bit, "Yeah, sure..." he said. They drove for a bit and talked a bit; laughing and joking. Lucas was laughing at the bear when he looked back and saw a car in front of them braking suddenly. He let out a yelp and swerved to avoid it. The sound of the tires against the pavement was the only sound for a moment before they came to a halt. Lucas let out a sigh and looked over at Jake, "You OK?"

Jake was breathing fast, "Yeah..." he said, startled. He looked at the car a few feet from them. It was in the grass now, "What was that about?"

I don't know..." Lucas said and opened the door. "Stay here...I'm gonna go see if they're OK." Lucas jumped out of the car and ran to the car. He looked in and saw a young lynx. He tapped on the glass, "Hey..."

The lynx looked over and rolled down the window, "Crap...were you behind me...I'm so sorry!" she said, quickly. She was stuttering and looked shook up.

Lucas looked at the lynx, "What happened? Are you OK..." he asked and looked in the car, the lynx was the only one in it.

"Yeah...I think a tire blew...and I lost control..." she said, and looked around her.

Lucas thought the lynx was acting strange. "Do you want some help changing your tire?"

"I don't have a spare..." the lynx said.

"Shouldn't there be one under the trunk?" Lucas asked, guessing the lynx was a new driver.

"There is?!?" she asked, practically jumping in her seat.

"Yeah...pop it and I'll help ya," Lucas said and walked around the car. The lynx popped the trunk and Lucas retrieved a spare. The lynx came out and helped with the change.

After a few minutes Jake came up, "What's going on?"

The lynx jumped again, hitting her head against the car, "Ow! ...Nothing...I'm just having a bit of trouble..."

"Need help?" Jake asked.

Lucas turned around, "Jake...go wait in the car, you should just rest..." he told the bear. Lucas was now sweating and the front of his shirt was soaked.

Jake sighed, "I got tired of sitting..." he said, almost in a whinny manner.

Lucas laughed, "I'm sorry...hang on one minute and I'll be done..."

Jake went over and leaned against the car. He watched the wolf work, and within ten minutes they finished.

"Ok...you need to get another tire as soon as possible, that one is only meant to help you if one goes out..." Lucas said, explaining it to the lynx.

"OK...thanks...and sorry about all that...ya' know...new driver...old car," she said, embarrassed.

"Just lucky no one was hurt..." Lucas said as he lowered the car. He put the things back away and slammed the trunk, "OK...now you know how to change a tire and you'll be prepared next time..."

"Thank you so much," she said, hugging Lucas around his neck.

Lucas laughed, and patted the lynx, "No problem," he replied. Lucas heard a growl and looked over and saw it came from Jake. Lucas broke the hug quickly. He looked at the lynx and assumed that she hadn't heard it, and he was glad. Lucas waited for the lynx to leave; making sure the car was ok. Once she left Lucas looked over at Jake, "What was that about?"

Jake looked over at Lucas, "What about you?" he asked.

Lucas thought that Jake's look was more of a glare. He was surprised by the bear's behavior. It was just a hug, but then again they'd never really been out and shown any affection. Lucas had never assumed Jake to be the jealous type, and he wasn't sure if he was. "Jake...it was just a hug...with a complete stranger," he said, waiting for a reaction.

Lucas saw the glare didn't go away and he got irritated, "Jake, you aren't going to do this every time I hug someone are you? What if I hug some of my guy friends?" he asked.

Jake growled a bit when Lucas said that. He hadn't ever really thought about it and for some reason the lynx had annoyed him. Jake knew his thoughts were pointless, but he still felt anger. He couldn't clear his thoughts though, instead of being level minded he only found himself more irritated. "Then I might break their neck," he replied half-jokingly.

Lucas didn't see it as a joke though. He scoffed at the bear. "Jake, you're pathetic..." he said.

Suddenly Jake remembered his dream from last night, and the apparition calling him pathetic. His glare immediately went away and he remembered the fear that his dream had caused, but worse was the feeling of being alone. Jake felt chills for a moment and then felt pitiful. He didn't respond to the wolf's insult besides lowering his head and going to the car. He sat down and closed the door and leaned his head on the window.

Lucas watched as the bear walked off. He knew that Jake was irritable due to his head, but why had he sulked just then? Lucas sighed and tried to think. Lucas saw the bear sitting in the car and felt bad now, and then remembered the other night when he had told Jake that he wasn't pathetic. He ran over to the car and got in, Jake still sitting on his side, not moving or showing any expression. "Jake..." he said quietly and tried to touch the bear.

Jake moved closer to his side of the car. He couldn't help it. He knew that Lucas was right, and that Lucas had every right to be as he was. Jake hated how he was acting; being so bipolar. It only made things worse that he realized it because that just intensified the moods. In his mind Jake was thinking that he truly was pathetic.

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean it..." Lucas said.

"It's true..." Jake replied. He didn't feel sorry for himself; he just realized that he wasn't doing anything. He felt like the only thing that defined him was his current state.

"Jake," Lucas said assertively and waited for Jake to look over, "it isn't...please don't make me have to say that," Lucas said and this time Jake let him touch him. Lucas placed a paw on his shoulder, "You are a great guy who looks out for people and is really pretty selfless. You think about others before yourself, you'd go out of your way for a stranger. You're smart also, you're wiser than me and you're grades are great. And Jake, most importantly, you're the best fri-" Lucas began but stopped himself.

Lucas squeezed the bear's shoulder, "You're the best partner ever..."

Jake sighed, "Thanks...I'm sorry...even though you're trying to cheer me up, all that it seems to be doing is making me feel worse..." he said. He looked over at the wolf and nuzzled the paw lightly, "No," he replied.

"What?" Lucas said, confused now.

"I'm not the jealous type...if I ever do that again just beat me... of course I can't say I like anyone else rubbing on you."

Lucas moved closer to the bear, "Well, you're the only one who I like rubbing on me..." he said with a chuckle.

Jake smiled and continued to nuzzle the wolf's hand. He felt the wolf put an arm around him. Jake shuffled underneath him.

Lucas laughed and leaned over to wrap his arms around the bear, "What you don't want me to hug you?"

Jake laughed as the wolf hugged him, "You're sweating on me," he said and tried to move away. Jake felt the wolf move in the car, moving over the brake and moving into his lap. The smell of the wolf's musk filled his head, making him feel light headed-but not like before. He felt the wolf biting on his shoulder.

Lucas nipped at the bear playfully. He stopped and looked at the bear, "You seem happy now..." he said with a grin.

"You can always make me smile," Jake said and nuzzled the wolf. Now he didn't care about the sweat. He felt the dampness of the wolf running into him, and the scent still playing with him. Jake let down the seat so that Lucas could lay on him. He felt Lucas biting on his neck. Jake let out a light moan, and licked the wolf, and then felt a paw grope at his pants, "We really shouldn't..." he said but couldn't help but rub against the paw.

Lucas chuckled, "I know...and have I ever told you how comfy you are?" he asked with a smile. After that he stopped. He propped himself up on the bear, pushing on him. He lightly licked the bear's nose and continued to rub the bear's chest.

"You do realize we're on the highway and cars are passing by right?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, I guess I should get off..." Lucas replied.

"I never said that..." Jake said and wrapped his arms around the wolf. "And besides, you started this..." he said and buried his nose in the wolf's shirt, inhaling the wolf's musk.

Lucas chuckled at the bear, "Well, the soonest we could do anything would be noon...my dad is still home..."

Jake let out a light growl, "You just want to make me suffer..."

"Suffer?" Lucas asked playfully, "No, I just enjoy teasing you Big-guy, and you like it too," he said with a grin and once again groped the bear's pants. After that Lucas rolled over and got back into the drivers seat.

Jake whimpered when Lucas rolled over. The wolf was right though, one of his favorite things about Lucas was how he would tease him. He looked over at Lucas, and smiled. The car started and Jake put his seat back up. He felt better now, if not a bit damp from the wolf's sweat, and his pants were a bit tighter. He leaned back against the window, feeling tired again.

After another thirty minutes they got back to the house and Lucas jumped out of the car, "Sorry...had road troubles..." he said and ran out with some of the supplies.

Mr. Vadikson looked up, "I was wondering what took you..." he said and grabbed the supplies.

Lucas turned around, and ran back to the garage where Jake was. The bear had fallen back asleep on the way to the house. He was still asleep in the car when he came back. Lucas opened the bear's door and tried to wake him. "Jake...Jake," he said and shook the bear lightly.

Jake mumbled something and continued his sleep.

Lucas sighed, and continued to try and wake the bear up. He looked at the bear and then grabbed the bear's paw and applied pressure, activating a pressure point. He was surprised that Jake hardly woke up even with that.

Jake pulled his paw away, "What?" he asked sleepily.

Lucas put the bear's arm around him and helped him up, "Come-on Big-guy...you can sleep inside," he said and felt the bear stand up. Even though Jake was standing most of his weight was on Lucas. Lucas struggled and once he got Jake inside he found himself struggling to get him to the bed. When he finally plopped Jake onto the bed he let out a sigh. The bear was practically sleep walking and the moment he hit the bed he turned over and went back to sleep. Lucas couldn't help but smile though. He turned off the light to the room and closed the door, leaving Jake sleeping. He went back outside to help his father.

"Is he OK?" Mr. Vadikson asked, concerned.

"Yeah...just tired," Lucas said and began to help his father.

They began work and by the time his father had to leave he had the hang of it. Lucas went inside and went to the bedroom. He saw that Jake was still sleeping and decided not to bother him. Lucas lay down next to him and watched the bear sleep. He reached out and gently rubbed the bear's shoulder. Jake moved forward in his sleep, and wrapped an arm around Lucas.

Lucas was surprised at the bear, that he held onto him even in his sleep but he didn't mind. Lucas moved back against Jake and let out a sigh, feeling the bear's warmth radiate into him. He thought about Jake and all the time they'd spent together. Over the course of the year Lucas realized that he had grown closer to this bear than to anyone else he knew. He thought back to the time Jake said he loved him, and Lucas felt a smile spread over his face.

He moved further back against Jake, felling the bear pull in return, and decided to take a short nap. When he woke up not even an hour had passed. He listened to Jake's breathes and slowly escaped the bear's grasp. He thought about waking the bear up but decided against it and went into the kitchen to eat. He ate and then went outside and worked more. The rest of the day passed and the next time Lucas went inside at six when it was time for supper. He walked in, tired and sore, but happy with the amount of work completed.

"How's it going sweetie?" his mother asked.

"Not bad...it's getting there," Lucas said.

"Where's Jake?"

"I think he's asleep,"

"Really?"

Lucas smiled, "Yeah, hang on, I'll go wake him up for supper," he said and ran to his room. Inside the bear was still sleeping. Lucas was surprised how long Jake could sleep. He moved to the bed and gently shook the bear, "Hey...Big-guy, time to get up..."

"Is it lunch time?" Jake asked through his sleep.

"No, its supper," Lucas said chuckling.

Jake's eyes opened a bit more, "How long have I slept?"

"Practically all day," Lucas said and rubbed the bear's stomach, "You hungry?"

Jake nodded and sat up. He stood up slowly and looked around for a moment.

"You ok?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah...I feel a lot better actually..." Jake said and followed the wolf out of the room.

Supper passed and then the evening passed. Jake and Lucas spent their time watching TV with Lucas's parents, enjoying the time. Jake liked Lucas's parents, they were nice. After a few hours Jake thanked them for their hospitality and went to take a shower. Jake wore just a pair of wind pants, deciding not to wear a night-shirt for once tonight. When he finished he laid back down on the bed, staring at the ceiling fan again.

Lucas came in almost an hour later, "Hey..." he said and walked over to his closet and grabbed a pair of boxers. He went into the shower and quickly finished and came back out. He turned off the lights, and lay next to the bear. It was almost twelve, Lucas felt something in him like an urge, and then turned over and propped up on a shoulder, "You asleep?"

"Yeah..." Jake said playfully.

"Jerk..." Lucas said and lightly punched the bear's shoulder.

"You get a lot done?" Jake asked, referring to the pond.

"Yeah..." Lucas said and let out a yawn.

"Tired?"

"Yeah, cause unlike you I worked today..."

Jake moved over next to Lucas and kissed him on the cheek, then moved back over to his side of the bed. Lucas watched the bear, "What was that for?" he asked.

"Just because," Jake said and stared at the wolf.

"Just because?" Lucas asked, but also found him self smiling.

Jake moved back over to the wolf, "Fine," he said and wrapped an arm around the wolf then licked the wolf on the nose, making Lucas laugh a bit. Jake leaned in closer to the wolf, so that he was right next to his ear, "I love you Lucas," he said in a whisper.

Lucas didn't move away or flinch at all now. Now, when Jake said the words it only made him smile. He knew that Jake wasn't waiting for the same words back. Lucas smiled and looked at Jake and chuckled.

Jake moved away, smiling at the wolf, "What?"

Lucas smiled and kissed the bear, "Love, I'm sorry it's hard for me to say," Lucas said and frowned a bit the smiled, "but I'm glad it's easy to hear," he said.

Jake gave his goofy grin at the wolf, "I'll tell it to you anytime you want,"

Lucas stared at the bear for awhile, thinking about his emotions. He thought about all the things Jake did; from just being there to letting him move in with him. Lucas chuckled at the bear's goofy grin, that grin had become something he looked forward to seeing. Lucas moved a paw out and pressed it against the bear's chest, feeling Jake's heart beating. Jake didn't move or do anything to the touch.

Lucas looked over at Jake, "Jake, why would you say that to me...?"

Now Jake frowned at Lucas. He pressed the wolf's paw harder against his chest and moved forward looking the wolf in the eyes, "When I say, 'I love you,' it's not because I want something. It isn't about me at all. I love what you are, what you do, and what you try. You're there to lift me up when I need it and allow me to lift you. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And even right now the hardest part is that I have words in my heart that I can't tell you, not because I'm hiding something, but because there are not words to express it. Lucas I say this to you because it's how I feel; I love you," Jake said again, smiling again.

Lucas listened to the bear, taking in every word. He stared at the bear and kept his hand on the bear's heart. Throughout the entire thing he noticed that Jake's heart beat never slowed or sped up, he felt and could see that Jake was perfectly calm. Lucas lay there for a minute, and Jake stayed with him. Slowly a minute passed and then another and Lucas continued to stare at the bear, while looking through his own emotions. He saw that an hour had passed so quickly.

Lucas thought of what to say, rewording the words over and over in his mind, planning every letter out. "Jake," he said and watched as Jake's focus came back, "I remember so many things that have happened. You are there for me all the time and I want to be there for you. I think about the times you've smiled, you had my undivided attention. I think about the times you've laughed you. had my desire to laugh with you. I think about the times you've cried, you had my desire to hold you. And...I think about the time when you said you loved me," Lucas brought up all his strength, "and won my heart forever..." he said, finished.

Lucas waited for the bear to respond. He felt his heart beating fast and could feel that he was blushing deeply, but also could feel an enormous smile on his face. He felt Jake's heart, still beating calmly. Lucas smiled at the bear, watching Jake's eyes.

Jake stared at the wolf, the words still in his ears. He felt his eyes blur and his lips quiver.

Lucas's yelp was drowned out by the deep kiss that Jake suddenly planted on the wolf. Lucas didn't have time to react and felt Jake kissing him deeply, the bear's tongue waiting for a response. After his surprise faded Lucas quickly returned the kiss, letting the bear's tongue persuade his own into the kiss. He felt Jake roll over on top of him and run his paws around him. As their tongues intertwined their bodies followed. He felt the bear's paws on the back of his head and how they pulled on him-pulling him deeper into the kiss. Lucas mimicked the bear's every move, pulling on him too. He felt his own heart beating faster and could feel the bear's heartbeat upon his chest, heavy and strong.

The kiss didn't diminish, but instead seemed to only grow. At first it was fast and heavy, and it moved to slow and light-gentle. He removed his paws from the bear's head and rested one on the bear's back. With the other he guided it up the bear's arm and met with the bear's paw. He felt the bear's paw open up and Lucas felt his own fingers slipping into place and Jake returning the motion-holding the wolf's paw. The kiss continued and Lucas felt something wet run across his muzzle. He opened his eyes and saw that Jake was crying.

Jake held the wolf's paw, resting it next Lucas's head. He felt his tears rolling down his muzzle. He wasn't sad, it was the exact opposite. He felt his own heart beating strongly and the wolf's heart beating quickly. He did what Lucas did and vice versa, letting the kiss become like a dance.

Lucas felt tears of his own swelling up in his eyes and then felt them falling down also-mixing with the bear's. Lucas thought it was strange, he had never cried because he was happy, but here he was, crying and embracing Jake. Lucas closed his eyes again, just letting the tears roll down and returned to the kiss. He felt Jake move and he went with the motion and found himself on top of the bear-feeling the bear's strong breathes pick him up. He felt the bear's paw running up his arm and opened his paw for the bear, letting the bear's fingers slip in between his own-both their paws now holding the other's.

Jake opened his eyes and could see that even Lucas was crying, which surprised him, but he didn't mind. He felt Lucas slowly pulling away from the kiss and Jake grew disappointed, not wanting it to end. He pushed his muzzle forward, prolonging the kiss as long as he could, but let out a whine as it ended.

Lucas broke the kiss and looked at the bear, his tears falling onto Jake. Lucas laughed a little and smiled at the bear, Jake returning the smile. Lucas then planted a quick, deep, kiss on the bear and pulled away just as quickly. At first Jake was surprised but when Lucas repeated it the bear accepted it and encouraged it. Lucas broke the kiss again, just as quickly as the first time and repeated it. Kissing the bear quickly and deeply, letting their tongues dance briefly before pulling away-strands of saliva hung between them as Lucas stared at the bear. The tears had stopped and he was left with a smile on his face. Lucas continued to kiss Jake this way, quickly and shortly, like submerging ones head underwater.

Lucas moved down and kissed Jake again, this time shallowly, just letting their lips touch. He pulled away and stared at the bear, then moved forward and licked the bear's nose. He did this and moved to the bear's muzzle, licking over Jake's face. He felt Jake's muzzle open and he kissed the bear again, deeply. The kiss had become fast and heavy again, back to how it began. After a few minutes it slowed down and they broke their paws away from each other's-only to place them on each other. Lucas, letting his stroke the bear's face and resting the other on the bear's heart, and Jake lazily holding onto the wolf.

After the fast pace ended the kiss became slower, but more passionate and romantic. Both taking their time in their actions, slowly exploring the others mouth and body as if for the first time. The kiss continued, breaking only a few times. They rolled over each other; sometimes laying on their sides and other times on top of the other. When they both broke away Lucas was smiling and Jake had his goofy grin again. Neither speaking for a moment, only staring back.

"Lucas..." Jake said and just stared at the wolf, "...you-" he began but Lucas cut him off.

"Yes, I mean it." Lucas said and then continued, "I'm sorry, I've just been stalling, too afraid to move further. I finally realized that I would never be able to say I love you if I didn't let myself accept it first,...does that make any sense?" Lucas asked with a chuckle.

Jake smiled back and kissed Lucas lightly, not responding.

"It doesn't matter if it does...I love you Jake," Lucas said and brought the bear's paw to his chest, "You have my heart..."

Jake smiled back at the wolf, and felt like the words meant more than all those in an entire language, despite how cliché it sounded. Jake moved closer to the wolf, "You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that..."

Lucas smiled, "I think I do..."

Jake laughed and wrapped his arms around the wolf. He felt the wolf's breath hitting him. Jake moved forward and nuzzled the wolf's neck and under the wolf's muzzle.

Lucas smiled and moved closer to Jake, and began to run his hands down the bear's back, petting him. He heard the bear give quiet sounds of approval and encouragement. Lucas chuckled lightly.

Jake continued to nuzzle the wolf but was able to ask, "What?"

"Oh...you'll just call me a pervert, but...neither of us are even hard..." Lucas replied.

Jake stopped nuzzling the wolf and smiled, "I wouldn't call ou a pervert for that...besides, this is different...its not erotic...its..." he said and searched for the words in his brain.

"Romantic," Lucas said and smiled at the bear.

"Excellent choice of words," Jake said and kissed the wolf again then saw Lucas let out a yawn.

Lucas finished the yawn, "Sorry..."

"Don't be...you should get some sleep," Jake said as he nuzzled the wolf again.

Lucas looked at the clock in his room, "Wow...I feel like a day has passed, but it's only three" he said and looked over at Jake.

"Yeah...but if time will slow down for us so we can be together then I won't complain," Jake replied.

"Aww, that was so cheesy," Lucas said with a laugh, "but very...sweet..."

Jake was blushing hard, and was glad that it was dark. "Sweet?" he asked.

"Sorry...how about handsome?" Lucas asked, chuckling at the bear.

Jake pulled the wolf closer, "Whatever you say is fine with me," he said and kissed the wolf again. The kiss only lasted for a moment, and then Lucas turned around in the bear's arms.

Lucas felt the bear surround him, Jake's arms around him, and one of Jake's legs laying on top of his, playing with his foot. Lucas sighed and felt his body relax in Jake's arms, sleep quickly coming to him. He felt Jake lightly biting on his ear, switching between that and licking along the his head.

Jake knew Lucas would fall asleep soon. He leaned in close and put his mouth next to the wolf's ear again. "I love you Lucas," he said and then kissed the wolf on the cheek again.

Lucas felt himself quickly falling asleep, "Love you...too Big-guy," he mumbled and fell asleep.

Jake smiled and continued to bite and lick along the wolf's head. He felt the wolf move and Lucas's paw move to his own. Jake opened his paw and let the wolf's finger slide in-between his own. After a few more minutes Jake stopped and kissed the wolf's cheek again. He pulled Lucas closer and felt the wolf nuzzle against him, making Jake smile at him. "I love you Lucas," he said and heard Lucas mutter some unintelligible sounds but Jake smiled anyway.

After a bit Jake fell asleep too. He woke up the next day early, Lucas still in his arms, and the wolf's paw still in his. Jake smiled lightly and relaxed, watching the wolf in front him sleep. He continued to watch the wolf, not feeling the need to go back to sleep, instead listening to Lucas's breathing. After another hour he felt Lucas begin to stir; Jake frowned as their paws slipped away from each other, and Jake lightly licked the wolf.

Lucas moved back into Jake's arms, sighing, and felt Jake licking him. Lucas squinted his eyes and pushed his elbow into the bear, "Stop it..." he said, lightly and playfully.

Jake stopped then bit the wolf's ear lightly, "Better?" he asked.

Lucas laughed lightly and turned around in Jake's arms. They stared at each other for a minute. Lucas kissed the bear lightly, "How do you feel today?" he asked.

"Ehh...still some pain, but my vision is back to normal," Jake said then moved his paw up in the air and stared at it, "no shaking either...I'm fine,"

Lucas smiled and rolled off the bear. He moved over to his closet and pulled out some shorts and a white shirt. After he pulled on the shirt he felt the bear wrap his arms around him. Lucas smiled and looked back over at Jake. Jake had put on a shirt and was still in his wind pants. "Want to get a bite?"

"Sure," Jake said and lightly bit on the wolf's ear again.

Lucas pulled away, "If you don't stop that then you'll make my ear like a chew toy," he said with a laugh.

Jake smiled and nodded. "So...what time is it?" he asked.

"There's a clock behind you..."

"Oh...right..." Jake said and turned around. It was only nine. They walked out of the room and grabbed a bite. After they ate Lucas went outside to work. Jake was able to convince the wolf to let him help out a bit. He carried whatever supplies Lucas wanted and would help from the sides. "What's the lining for?"

"Well, it's just to begin with...it's supposed to degenerate and then the pond will look natural, or so my father says...he knows what he's doing," Lucas said with a laugh as he got out of the hole. "Now we just need to fill it with the sand and gravel which will allow for...I have no idea," Lucas said.

"Just do as told I guess?"

"Yeah...come-on lets get started," Lucas said.

They began to fill up the surface of the hole now, just covering it and making the area look more natural. Jake slid the bags across and dumped them in, where Lucas was waiting to break them open and spread them across. After all the bags were dumped they mixed it. Jake took breaks frequently whenever a headache was coming on, and watched Lucas work. By noon they had finished and both got out of the hole. They spent the rest of the day relaxing and spending time together. They went swimming and after that ate lunch and watched TV.

When Lucas's mother came home with Ana she told them about her day again and then they waited for Lucas's father to get home. Once he came back he thanked them and said all that was left was to fill the hole. The rest of the day up to the evening passed uneventfully. After supper Jake talked more with Lucas's parents about Lucas moving in, clearing up any loose ends. After that he took a shower and went to bed. He fell asleep quickly and woke up during the night. He was surprised to find Lucas in his arms, and he didn't know when, but at some time Lucas had joined him.

Saturday came quickly and it came time to meet with Lucas's friends. Jake decided to wear a pair of blue jeans and a plain grey button up shirt with a white shirt underneath it. Lucas wore badge shorts and a red shirt. They left around six and meet them at a restaurant. Jake got out of the car and stopped, and looked at the small group from afar. He saw a mastiff, bull, a tigress, and then the fox from before. Lucas nudged Jake and they walked over. Jake walked a bit behind Lucas, a few steps behind him.

As they were greeting Lucas Jake walked up behind the wolf. Jake noticed that he was the biggest in the group, a head taller than the tallest person in the group, which was the bull. They stopped and the two guys looked over Jake; Jake was sure they thought that he wasn't who Lucas was with.

"Umm...are we in your way?" Alex asked and stepped back.

Gina looked up and noticed the bear, "Oh, Jake!" she said then looked over at Lucas, "Well, introduce him!" she said and lightly punched the wolf.

Lucas was rubbing his arm and was about to introduce Jake, but the bear stopped him. He stepped past the wolf, "Hey...I'm Jake," he said and extended his paw.

Alex was the first to take his paw. Shaking the hand firmly, "Nice to meet you...I'm Alex," he said then nodded over to Sam.

Sam shook the hand, "I'm Sam,"

Jake made sure to grip the tigress hand softly. She smiled at him, "Jenny," she said.

"Really?" he asked, smiling.

"Yeah,...why?"

Jake blushed, "Oh, sorry...that's just what I call my brother's fiancée," he replied.

"Oh, that's cool," she said.

Jake looked over at the fox and extended his hand, "Gina...right?"

"Yep, It's great to meet you, are you feeling better?" the fox asked.

Jake frowned, hating for anyone to know he hadn't felt well, but quickly smiled and nodded his head. "Yeah, much better," he replied.

Lucas had been standing back all the time. He was glad that Jake had introduced himself, instead of acting shy. He laughed and moved back into the group, "So...we ready to eat?"

"Yeah!" Alex said with a smile.

They walked in and were seated quickly. They sat at a round table in a corner, Jake sitting at the corner, next to Lucas on his right, and Gina on his left. He quickly found out about the group; Gina was majoring in cosmetics, Jenny in audio-engineering, Alex in nuclear-chemistry, and Sam in video editing. The mood was very relaxed, and Jake felt glad that he didn't feel awkward with them-they never did anything that excluded him besides a few inside jokes. In fact he was surprised when they asked him about himself.

"Well, I'm a bio-engineer student...like Lucas, and I guess that's about all there is about me," he said quickly.

"Lucas told us you work out with him...has Lucas actually been working out?" Jenny asked with a smile.

"If you call lifting the dumbbell working out," Jake said with a chuckle.

"Hey! I can lift one-fifty!" Lucas retorted, "And besides you run like a fish,"

Jake laughed lightly and was happy that the others laughed too. They continued to ask him things about himself though. Alex looked over Jake, "So, what do you want to do when you graduate?"

The question took Jake by surprise. He coughed on his drink and choked a little, he felt Lucas patting his back. He looked up, embarrassed, "Sorry...umm...but you know, I haven't thought about it...kind of making things up as I go...Well, that's not all true, but..." Jake said then stopped realizing that he was rambling.

"Hmm OK, well are you going to grad school?" Sam asked.

"I would like too, but I'll probably only do that if I can..." Jake said then looked over the group, "But what about ya'll...what do ya'll want to do?"

"Well," Sam began, "Jenny wants to work with the military working on new ways to use sonar; Gina wants to open up her own beauty shop; Alex wants to blow up the world...or something like that; and I want to work with any thing I can really," he said.

Alex spoke up, "I don't want to blow up the world...that wouldn't be any fun, I'm working on safer energy," he said, correcting the bull.

"Cool," Jake said.

"So, Jake," Gina said, "Do you have a girlfriend?" she asked.

Everyone around the table sighed and shook their heads. Jake just laughed nervously, "Umm...I'm in a relationship?" he replied.

"Gina, aren't you still dating Hank?" Jenny asked.

"Yeah, but so?" she asked, then looked back at Jake, "Well, how is your relationship?"

Jake smiled not looking back at Lucas, "It's good, I mean, sure there can be hard times but all that matters is that as long as we stick together then we can pull through anything. I know we can make it," he said.

"Aww," Gina said, "Are you in love?"

"Gina...don't you have any shame?" Alex asked with a sigh.

Jake chuckled, "It's all right..." he replied then looked at the fox, "Yes, I'd do anything to keep my mate safe, and I'm just lucky to have someone so great," he said.

Gina and Jenny both gave an 'aww' at Jake. Now he blushed, not realizing that it sounded so mushy. He just chuckled. He looked over at Lucas, who was smiling lightly, but never looked at Jake.

"Lucas says he isn't checking any of the candy, the girls are candy, out...come-on you got to get him in the game," Sam said and hit the wolf in his shoulder.

Jake smiled, "Lucas is quite the tease actually," and watched seeing the wolf blush at this. Jake decided to carry it on, "He leaves people after he gets their hopes up, he can make you really want to strangle him," Jake said with a hearty laugh.

Lucas was blushing deep red at this and just hid his face. Sam on the other hand had a paw up in the air, wanting to high-five the wolf. "I knew it you dog, you. You were hiding out on me!" he said.

Alex sighed, "As I'm sure you can tell, Sam is the ladies man, Gina is the one who'll make a move on anything that moves..." he said and laughed as the other two glared at him.

Jake laughed then looked between Jenny and Alex, "What about ya'll...what are ya'll then?"

Alex looked up, confused, "Well, we," he said, but Gina and Sam answered.

"They're the couple of our gang," they both said with a laugh.

Jenny blushed, and so did Alex. They looked over at each other and smiled, but neither denying it. Lucas just laughed, "And I'm the reasonable one..."

Jake looked at the group, "Ouch..."

Lucas punched the bear in his side lightly and the rest of the group laughed. After that the food arrived and they were able to eat. Jake ate quickly and they talked the entire time. When they all finished they sat around and talked. "Well, how long have you been in a relationship?" Jenny asked Jake.

"Well...we started out as friends at the college...but I guess we didn't make it official till about a month ago..." Jake said.

Alex looked at the bear, "And you say that you're in love? Don't you think you might be rushing? You know...caught up in the moment? No offense..." he said.

Jake looked over at the mastiff, "Well, I don't think I'm the type to get caught up in the moment, and for me love is not physical in the least bit. I wouldn't say I loved someone because of how they look, or anything like that. I don't have any control over who I love, but I don't believe that it's shallow..." Jake replied.

"I get where Alex is coming from...and I feel like you are sincere, but have you really thought about it?" Jenny asked.

Jake looked over at Lucas, who was just starring up at him, mouthing a sorry to the bear. Jake smiled, "I am sincere, and I understand where you're coming from and I actually like these questions...it makes you think, but I'm avoiding the question aren't I?" he asked.

Jake sighed, "I don't think that love is immediately something happens, so I get what your saying, but I also don't think that love is immediately at its strongest. I still have a lot to learn and so does my mate, but that's what makes it fun. If this is just some pathetic love, like you may think, then it'll end itself eventually," Jake said and under the table he placed a paw on Lucas's leg, "But, I know that this is true love, and that we will only grow closer to one another,"

Lucas smiled up at the bear then looked at his friends, "Are you guys done harassing him about his love life?"

Alex smiled, "Yeah...sorry about that Jake, just got carried away, but for you Lucas...you know Jake the best...do you believe its true love?"

Lucas placed his paw on top of Jake's, "Yeah, I think it is," he said. He felt Jake lightly squezze his leg and Lucas jumped at this. His leg hit the table making it shake and his friends all looked at him. Lucas blushed, "Sorry...muscle spasm...which I think means we should get moving," he said.

They stood up to leave and Lucas looked over at the bear who just mouthed something to him. They paid for their meal and left for the movie. They decided on a horror movie. Jake sat next to a wall with Lucas next to him. Jake lightly placed a hand on the wolf's in the theater and was glad it was dark. He gently rubbed against the wolf's leg, who returned the motion, and would occasionally lean over and whisper something in his ear. Jake didn't really get the movie but it wasn't scary, and the plot was one of the worst he had seen. A killer was roaming a park. He would always lean over to Lucas and say, "Wait for it...wait for it...and ...now," he would say and just then the killer would appear.

After the movie was over they walked out. They went to the park. When they arrive Jake told Lucas he'd catch up to them. When they all left Jake waited for a few minutes and then walked around the group, making sure to keep to the shadows. He followed the group as they walked and ran ahead of them and hid behind a tree. When they walked by Jake reached out and grabbed Lucas, making everyone in the group scream, even Lucas. Jake began to laugh, as they recovered.

"Jake!!" Lucas said and hit on the bear's chest.

"You jerk!!" the girls squelled.

"Actually...that was pretty good," Sam said with a chuckle

Alex was still catching his breath and he looked up at Jake and pointed to the bear, "Not funny..." he said.

"Sorry...I couldn't help it...I mean you guys hang out at a park? Way too good of a chance to let up..." Jake replied.

Gina looked at the bear, "How did we not see you coming?" she asked and then pointed at Jake, "I mean, you're huge...no offense..."

Lucas laughed, "You get used to it...he can move without making a noise without even trying..."

Jake just smiled at the wolf, "Sorry..."

"It's good...that was fun..."

After that they all hung out, enjoying the time together. They hung out till almost two in the morning, then a rabbit police officer came up to them. "What are ya'll doing here?" he asked, suspecting something.

"Nothing...just hanging out...who are you?" Gina asked..

"In the park...at two in the morning? I'm with the police. Can I see some ID?" he asked.

Jake sighed, "Can I see yours?"

"What?" the rabbit asked.

"It's only natural...you claim to be a police officer, but you haven't shown us any ID yet..." Jake said and stood up. He noticed that everyone in the group was murmuring and Lucas was mouthing for Jake to sit down.

"Kid, are you trying to get arrested..." the rabbit asked.

Jake sighed, "Yeah, on public ground with no illegal activities going on...you can't touch me and I'm showing you respect...so aggravation of an officer is out" he said and acting like he was throwing something away,"

"You shouldn't talk back to us kid," the rabbit said.

"OK..." Jake said and dug around in his pocket, "I'm Jake Yellat," he said and held out his driver license.

"You're a long way from home kid..." the rabbit said.

"I'm still waiting on your ID...mr. ?" Jake said.

The rabbit had a scowl on his face.

Jake sighed, "Can I talk with you over there?" he asked and pointed to a picnic table. He walked off and the rabbit followed him.

"What is he doing?" Alex asked.

"I really don't know..." Lucas said and watched the bear.

At the table Jake smiled at the rabbit, "OK...here are your options, show me that you are an officer, which I doubt, or start running away...now," Jake said and let out a growl.

"What?!?" the rabbit hissed.

"Your no police officer...you carry a knife, no gun, no communication device, no sort of badge...or do you really want to tell me that crappy piece of aluminum foil is a badge?" Jake said.

The rabbit scowled and went for his knife. "Kid...you were better off just doing as I said...then you wouldn't have to get hurt..."

"Don't do it...please...I'd hate to get your blood on my shirt," Jake said and laughed a little. He knew he was bluffing, but he was hoping his stature would frighten the rabbit. He moved forward and stepped in front of the rabbit, "I thought I told you to..." he said and paused, and placed his face in front of the rabbit's, "Beat it!" he yelled.

The rabbit pulled at his knife, but Jake managed to quickly punch him in the chest, sending him to the ground. The rabbit yelled and fell backwards. Jake continued to walk forward. The rabbit scrambled to his feet and began to run. Jake ran a bit after him, trying to laugh like a crazy person, "That's right, be afraid!!" he yelled.

He stopped after the first few feet and just laughed. He heard someone running up behind him and turned around, thinking that the rabbit could've had friends. He put his hands up, and was glad to see it was just Lucas and his friends.

"Jake!! What was that you idiot!?" Lucas demanded.

"He wasn't an officer...he had a knife...so I took care of him..." Jake replied.

"What?" Gina asked, "But...he had a uniform..."

"Yeah...and a crappy one at that..." Jake replied. "Either way...his running away should show that...I was just looking out for ya'll..."

Lucas stared at Jake, "What would you have done if he had attacked?"

"I told ya...I make it up as I go..." he said with a laugh.

Lucas looked back at his friends, "We should leave guys," he said.

They all agreed and got out of the park quickly. They got their cars and quickly said good-bye. Lucas and Jake stayed around. Once they all left Lucas turned around to Jake, "What the hell?!?"

"What?"

"What if you had gotten hurt?" Lucas asked.

"I told ya..." Jake said, now more hesitant, seeing Lucas was angry.

"Jake!" Lucas said and pushed at the bear, but Jake didn't move. "You idiot!"

Jake pulled the wolf into a hug, "Sorry..."

Lucas sighed, "You idiot..." he said and returned the hug.

"Well, its better than a murder charge...if he pulled it on you or your friends I would've killed him," Jake said with a laugh.

"Jake..." Lucas said.

"Lucas, I said I'd do anything to keep you safe at the restaurant..." Jake said, now more serious.

Lucas didn't respond and hugged the bear harder.

Jake returned the embrace, "I love you" he said and sighed, relaxing onto the wolf.

"Let's get out of here..." Lucas said with a smile.

They drove back to Lucas's house and quickly went inside. Everyone was asleep and they went straight to Lucas's room. Once inside Lucas took off his shirt and shorts and laid down on the bed, letting out a sigh. He saw Jake leaning against the door, obviously thinking. "You looked nice tonight," Lucas said.

Jake looked up, "What?"

"You...you looked nice tonight...your clothes," Lucas said.

"Oh..." Jake said then returned to his thoughts.

Lucas sighed and stood up and moved infront of Jake, leaning on him, "You OK?"

Jake smiled at the wolf, "Just thinking..." he replied.

"About what?" Lucas asked.

"Oh...this was just my last day here..." Jake said and sighed

"You don't have to go..." Lucas said.

"I need to..." Jake replied.

"Well," Lucas said and rubbed the bear's stomach, "Since we won't see each other again for a bit..."

Jake smiled lightly, "Pervert..."

"You're thinking the same thing..." Lucas said and pulled the bear towards the bed.

"Maybe..." Jake said and kissed Lucas.

Lucas sat on the bed and pushed on Jake, stopping him from following him, "Wait a second," Lucas said, rubbing the bear's stomach. He unbuttoned the shirt quickly and Jake took it off, and then Lucas started on the bear's pants. After they were off Jake took off his briefs, and Lucas pulled the bear close to him and inhaled the bear's scent. After a moment he pulled Jake onto the bed.

Jake kissed Lucas deeply and ran a hand down into the wolf's boxers and began to rub against the wolf's sheath. He felt Lucas pull on his fur and Jake moaned through the kiss. After a minute he broke the kiss and began to nuzzle along the wolf's body, moving down until he reached the wolf's boxers.

Lucas was already hard and sighed as Jake pulled off his boxers. He felt Jake immediately begin to lick on his cock, and Lucas put a paw on the bear's head. He heard Jake give a growl of approval, and Lucas pushed down on the bear's head, making him swallow the cock. Lucas felt Jake's tongue wrap round his member, and let out a moan.

Jake enjoyed the wolf's treatment and moved to his own cock. He stroked it and felt Lucas begin to thrust into him. Jake would give an approving growl every once in awhile and Lucas would increase his speed. The taste of the wolf's pre filling his mouth, Jake let out a low moan. He felt Lucas's grip tighten and guessed that Lucas wouldn't last much longer.

Lucas began to thrust deeper into Jake, and would pull the bear's head off then push it back onto his cock-Jake encouraging him. After a few more thrust Lucas let out a growl and pushed Jake further onto his cock, cumming into Jake's mouth.

Jake swallowed the wolf's cum as it came out, and noticed that Lucas's grip didn't let up, even after he had stopped shooting. Jake licked around the cock, coaxing out any remaining cum. He could feel Lucas shudder beneath him. After a minute Lucas let go of Jake's head, but Jake didn't come off the cock yet. He licked on it, and teased Lucas, who would give a thrust into him every once in a while. He continued to suck on it until it retreated back into Lucas's sheath. He pulled off and smiled up at Lucas.

Lucas smiled at Jake and pulled him into a kiss. He could feel the bear's member pressing against him and ran a paw down to it. The bear's chest rumbled as he stroked Jake's cock lightly. After a moment he broke the kiss and turned the bear onto his back then moved down to the bear's member. He continued to stroke it and began to nuzzle and lick at the bear's sack, making Jake moan.

Jake began to thrust into the wolf's paw. He felt Lucas lapping at his sack and Lucas would increase the grip on Jake's cock. After a moment Jake felt Lucas take his paw off his cock and let out a whimper, but the wolf continued to play with his sack.

Lucas rolled one of the bear's balls and rolled it around in his mouth, making Jake let out a louder whimper. Lucas stopped and then looked up at Jake, who looked back with a pleadful look. Lucas licked the bear's cock lightly, running his tongue up to the bear's tip, and then went down on it. He felt Jake's cock throb as he wrapped his tongue around it, and Jake let out a groan. The bear began to thrust into his muzzle and Lucas let out a playful moan.

Jake thrusted into the wolf's muzzle faster, and felt his cock begin to throb and knew he was about to cum. "Lucas..." he said and began to thrust harder into the wolf's muzzle.

Lucas felt Jake's cock begin to shoot and pulled off the bear's cock so that it didn't come out of his muzzle but didn't make him have to deepthroat the bear. The bear's cum landed on his tongue and after Jake finished shooting Lucas kept the cum on his tongue, rolling it around. He swallowed it after a moment and then played with the bear, pulling on his sack and lapping at the bear's cock-making the bear shudder. He stopped after a minute and then moved up next to the bear.

Jake pulled Lucas into an embrace and kissed him deeply. He could feel the wolf's surprise and Jake couldn't help but smile through the kiss. After a moment the wolf returned it and ran his hands along the bear's body, pulling on Jake's fur. Jake moved a paw down and gripped the wolf's sheath, the tip showing. He felt Lucas break the kiss, and give a moan. Jake grinned and began to coax the cock out of its sheath, making Lucas grunt.

"Jake," Lucas grunted.

Jake let go of the wolf's sheath, "What?" he asked teasingly, as the wolf let out a whimper. He felt Lucas grip at his chest fur and pull on it, making him shudder. Jake smiled at the wolf, "Puppy still wants to play?"

Lucas tugged at the bear's fur, making Jake grunt, and the wolf grinned at the bear. Lucas kissed the bear and played with the bear's fur. He moved his paws to the bear's wrist and then gripped them and placed them above the bear's head. He broke the kiss and saw the bear was surprised, "I'm sorry...what did you say?" Lucas asked.

"Cheater," Jake replied.

Lucas began to bite along the bear's neck playfully. He looked up at Jake, "I really hate that name...and now, who are you calling puppy?" he asked.

Jake saw that Lucas's cock was half way out of its sheath, and leaned forward and licked it quickly, and then felt Lucas tug on his arms, making him stop. Jake looked up at Lucas and whimpered playfully.

"Don't try to get out of this," Lucas said with a grin.

"Sorry...what if I don't call you puppy again?" Jake asked pleadingly then leaned forward and licked the wolf's cock again.

Lucas grinned at the bear and increased his grip on the bear's wrist. He knew Jake was just urging him forward, the bear always did. Lucas moved up the bear, but kept his hold on the bear's wrist. He moved his half hard cock in front of Jake's muzzle, and felt the bear's warm breathes against his cock. "I might forgive you...,"

Jake leaned forward and licked the wolf's cock, then leaned back and smiled at him, "I'm sorry...," he said with a whimper.

Lucas smiled and rolled off the bear. Jake tried to move and Lucas turned around and grabbed the bear's wrist and pushed him down again. "Don't move," he said as menacingly as he could, growling in the bear's face.

Lucas walked over to the bear's bag. He began to rummage around.

"What are you looking for?" Jake asked with a smile on his face.

Lucas began to throw things out of Jake's bag, littering the floor with the bear's clothes. He knew it would fluster Jake, and smiled at himself for it. He finally found the bear's lube, and then moved back over to the bear. Lucas moved on top of the bear, sitting on his stomach and rubbed the bear's chest.

"Are you going to clean that up?" Jake asked, growling lightly. He knew Lucas was just trying to tease him.

"Nope, you will," Lucas said and then rolled over and laid down, "and I'll wait until you do,"

Jake frowned, "It's your mess," he replied.

Lucas rolled over to his side and closed his eyes, "Well, we can clean it in the morning," he said and heard the bear mumble something and get up. Lucas smiled lightly. He grabbed Jake's grey button up shirt and moved behind the bear. He held it in one hand and then embraced the bear. He was surprised when Jake gave a startled grunt, and Lucas bit along the bear's shoulder, "Wait...did I scare you Big-guy?"

Jake smiled, "No, just startled me puppy,"

Lucas frowned and bit harder on Jake's shoulder making him shudder. He pulled off the bear, "I thought you weren't going to call me that..." Lucas said with mock anger.

"Slip of the tongue...I promise," Jake said teasingly, obviously lying. He knew it would annoy Lucas and was happy when it did. He rubbed against Lucas, "I'm sorry,"

Lucas smiled at Jake's efforts, the bear's fur rubbing against his cock. Lucas stopped his embrace and began to rub the bear's back. He waited for Jake to relax then grabbed both his wrist and quickly wrapped the shirt around them. He could tell it startled the bear, when Jake tried to fight it.

"Lucas? What the heck?" Jake asked as he tried to fight the bonds.

Lucas pushed the bear against the wall, and was glad it didn't make a lot of noise. He pushed against Jake, rubbing his member between the bear's butt. Jake stopped and moving but still tried to fight the bonds. Lucas leaned up to the bear, "Stop struggling, or after I finish with your paws I'll bind your feet," Lucas said, and growled in the bear's ear.

Jake stopped struggling, letting Lucas have his way. Jake liked it whenever Lucas was like this, showing his dominant side. The wolf could be aggressive when he wanted to be and Jake liked it. The only thing was that it was always more about the physical, but Jake knew that if it wasn't then it wouldn't fit the mood. Jake felt the wolf's cock rubbing against his entrance, and pushed back against it. He let out a grunt when the tip entered, with nothing but the wolf's pre to help it. He let out a whimper when Lucas pulled out, and continued to rub against his hole. He felt a stirring in his sheath. He felt Lucas begin to tie the shirt around his paw, and when he was finished he tried to get out and found he couldn't. Jake rubbed against the wolf's cock and smiled, "You're pretty good at that,"

Lucas bit on Jake's shoulder, and pulled Jake back to the bed. He pushed Jake onto it and smiled. He watched Jake roll around, and after a moment Jake found his center of balance. Lucas looked at the bear and laid next to him. Lucas began to stroke his own cock. He stopped after a moment and looked over at Jake, whose own cock was beginning to show. He moved over the bear and positioned his cock in front of Jake's muzzle. He looked down at Jake, "Well, come-on Big-guy," he said.

Jake smiled and leaned in and inhaled at the wolf's sack. The wolf's musk was strong and it filled his head. He smiled and began to suck on the wolf's member. He could taste the wolf's pre and let it collect on his tongue. He felt Lucas begin to thrust into him, slow and steady-pushing all the way in and then out till the tip was left. Jake moaned as the cock filled his moan and let out playful whine when it left. He began to wonder why Lucas had gotten the lube, but the wolf's musk overpowered him, making him lose thought. Jake could taste the cum from when he had sucked off the wolf a bit ago and it made him more enthusiastic. He developed a pattern; deepthroating the wolf's cock when Lucas pushed down and flicking his tongue on the wolf's tip when he pulled out. Sometimes Lucas would buck into him and Jake would give a surprised grunt.

"Good boy," Lucas said after a while, in a daze.

Jake smiled and increased his efforts. Jake swallowed the pre as the wolf's cock dripped it, the taste staying in his mouth. He savored it and combined with the wolf's musk he felt like it was a drug. Jake forgot he was even in bonds, all his focus on the wolf's cock in his mouth. Jake would lean up and deepthroat the wolf every once in awhile and take in a deep breath of the wolf's musk, and then let out a moan as the scent filled his brain. Jake felt the wolf suddenly buck into his mouth, and the wolf's cock begin to throb.

Lucas bucked into the bear's mouth and gritted his teeth, suddenly feeling his orgasm coming. He felt himself losing control of his thrust and beginning to buck into the bear's muzzle, and then felt his cock come out. He couldn't stop the bucking though and felt himself beginning to cum. The fist shot hit the bear along his face as did the second and then he felt the bear move and swallow his cock again. Lucas grunted as the shot the rest of his load into the bear's muzzle-Jake moaning as the cum came out. Once he was done he began to thrust into Jake slower, letting Jake suck on him lightly. He pulled out and laid down panting.

Jake tried licking the cum from his muzzle and face, but had little luck. During the first shot most of it had landed from his forehead to his cheek, and during the second it had hit him on his nose and above his left eye. He was able to lick away the cum on his nose, and the after smell made him moan, filling his head-Jake thought it was like a stronger version of the wolf's musk.

Lucas sat up, and got out of the bed. He moved over and got out a pair of boxers, and put them on. He checked himself over in the mirror.

"Where are you going?" Jake asked, wondering why Lucas had put clothes on, and tried to move. Jake's attention was brought back to his bonds, and he let out a low whimper. Also his cock was now hard again and was straining. A small pool of pre had collected on his stomach. Jake thrusted into the air and let out another whimper, this time real though.

"I'm kind of hungry...I'm just going to the kitchen to get a bite," Lucas said with a smile. He looked over at Jake. He leaned down and picked up the bear's briefs then walked over to Jake and rubbed away the cum he had shot on him. After that he put the briefs over Jake's muzzle and began to walk away, "I'll be back I guess..."

Jake couldn't see past his briefs, but he heard the door close. "Lucas? Lucas?" he asked into the room. Jake felt himself panic a little, fearing that if someone else were to come into the room. "Lucas...Lucas..." he said a bit louder, and noticed that a whimper was in his voice. He froze when he heard the door open again. He saw it was Lucas and relaxed.

"What? You OK?" Lucas asked, going back to his caring state. He had come back when he heard Jake, the bear had actually sounded scared. He moved over and rubbed the bear's stomach and took the briefs from the bear's head, and then kissed Jake's head, "What's wrong?" he asked, seeing nothing was wrong.

"You were going to leave me?" Jake asked slightly angry.

"Well, I'm a bit hungry..." Lucas said with a grin.

Jake growled, "Dude...what if you're-"

Lucas kissed the bear roughly, stopping him from continuing.

Jake fought the kiss at first but gave in and returned it. He wasn't sure why Lucas was doing this.

Lucas broke the kiss and looked at Jake, "Are you done crying now?" he asked, going back to his dominant side.

Jake finally realized that Lucas was still playing with him, but he was still slightly angry. "You need to be less subtle," Jake said, still growling.

Lucas sighed, seeing that Jake was actually angry. He leaned down and nuzzled the bear, "Don't worry, I wouldn't do anything to hurt you, and I didn't want to scare you. I'm sorry..." he replied. He could hear the bear's growl in his ear, and was glad when it stopped.

Jake nuzzled back against the wolf, forgiving him. Jake knew he had just panicked and knew the wolf wouldn't let anything happen. Jake felt Lucas pull away and Jake let out a whimper. "What if I'm hungry?" he asked, playing with the wolf again.

Lucas smiled and then returned to his dominant side, "Well, you've already had something to eat...and you probably had something better then I'll eat" he replied, and saw Jake blush at this. When Jake didn't respond he smiled and put the bear's brief back over his muzzle. Lucas opened his door and looked back, "Now, stay here, don't move, be quiet, and just be a good bear till I get back," Lucas said with a growl and closed the door.

Jake sighed. He felt his cock still straining and oozing pre, and knew it wouldn't stop because of the smell of the wolf's cum on his nose. Jake began to lick at his briefs, tasting the wolf's cum on them, deciding to at least try something while Lucas was away from him. After he finished the briefs were wet and Jake was left with nothing to do. He wondered how long Lucas would be gone. Jake let out a groan, not being able to sleep because of his excitement-and time seemed to pass slowly. After about twenty minutes he heard the door open.

"Oh...you're still here?" Lucas asked playfully. He took off his boxers and walked over to Jake.

Jake growled, "I hope you had a good meal,"

Lucas moved over to the bear, "It was good," he said and pulled the briefs away from the bear's muzzle. Lucas kissed Jake deeply running his tongue over the bear's then pulled away, "Still taste like yours was better though..." he said slyly.

Jake felt himself blushing and turned his head away. He felt Lucas jump up on the bed and lay down. Jake looked over and saw that Lucas was lightly stroking at his cock, and Jake felt his own cock twitch. He let out a whimper and Lucas looked up then closed his eyes and continued to stroke his cock. Jake moved on the bed, slowly and made his way in between Lucas's legs. He licked at Lucas's sack, and Lucas finally paid him some attention.

"That's nice, Big-guy, keep that up and you may get a reward," he said with a sigh.

Jake increased his efforts, taking one of the wolf's balls and rolling it in his muzzle. The wolf's musk came back to him, strong and fresh, and Jake let out a light moan. He increased his efforts and began to lap at the wolf's sack, making Lucas moan too. Jake looked up and saw that Lucas was hard again. He stopped once he made eye contact with Lucas.

"What do you want to do Big-guy?" Lucas asked playfully. He looked at the bear and smiled, "What are you so excited about?" he asked.

Jake couldn't help but blush. He let out a whimper, not really wanting to give a real response. He saw Lucas chuckle at this.

Lucas closed his legs, so that Jake's head and in-between them. He smiled when the bear began to lap at his sack again. Lucas used one paw to pet Jake's head and with the other returned to stroking his cock, "Oh...Good boy...Big-guy..." he would say softly and Jake would increase his efforts.

Lucas stopped stroking after a moment and looked at Jake again, "I can't understand whimpers you know...what do you want to do?" he asked.

Jake blushed and realized Lucas was going to make him say it. Jake buried his head in the wolf's thigh and mumbled it. Lucas teased him saying he didn't hear him and moved away from the bear. Jake whimpered again, "I want you in me," he said and blushed.

Lucas smiled and kissed Jake quickly, then rolled him on his back. Lucas moved to the other side of the bed and pulled on Jake so that his ass was exposed to him. Lucas looked around and sighed, not knowing where he had placed the lube. He smiled and rubbed his paw in Jake's pre, that was puddle on Jake's stomach. He rubbed his cock with it then lightly teased Jake's hole. After a moment he pushed in, and could hear Jake groaning. Lucas rubbed the bear's stomach soothingly, "Sorry...I seem to have lost the lube..."

Jake tried to relax and looked up at Lucas, "Are you serious?" he asked. He could tell Lucas was. Jake knew he didn't need the lube that the pre would be fine, but lube made it easier. Still Jake also found himself growing more excited as Lucas continued to push into him.

"Well, think of it this way...it'll be a funner ride for you," Lucas said and pushed a bit further into the bear. Lucas felt his balls hit the bear's ass and leaned forward and nuzzled the bear. He gave Jake some time to get used to him then pulled out a bit and pushed back in.

Jake moaned as the wolf's cock moved against his prostate. He began to thrust against the wolf's chest as it brushed against his cock, but then felt Lucas lean up when he did. Jake let out a playful whine. Lucas smiled at him and then began to thrust harder into him. Jake could feel the wolf's balls hitting him, and the wolf's cock hitting his prostate-making his cock twitch.

Lucas began to thrust faster into Jake, and realized that he wouldn't last as long as the other times. He stopped and began to thrust into Jake slowly, taking his time. He wrapped a paw around the bear's cock. Lucas pushed into the bear and leaned forward and kissed the bear. He pulled away, and began to thrust into Jake faster. Lucas felt the bear's cock throb in his paw and realized that Jake was about to cum. As the bear came he tensed up and Lucas felt the bear's ass tighten around his member-pushing him over the edge too. Lucas thrusted into Jake and leaned on him, feeling the bear's cum hit him also.

Jake leaned forward and kissed Lucas as he came and felt the wolf cumming in him also. As his orgasm faded, so did Lucas's, but they stayed like that for awhile. Jake felt Lucas pull out of him and Jake let out a moan. Lucas lay down next to Jake and Jake moved over on his side, and then felt Lucas undo his bonds. Once they were undone he immeidatly pulled Lucas into an embrace.

When they broke the kiss Jake smiled at the wolf, staring at him.

Lucas looked at Jake, "What?"

"Nothing..." Jake said and continued to stare at the wolf. He kissed Lucas lightly then relaxed.

"You're acting strange..." Lucas said but relaxed in the bear's arms, "You OK?"

Jake smiled and kissed the wolf's head, "Yeah...I guess I'm a bit sad that I'm leaving...but hey...I'll see you at home..."

Lucas laughed lightly, "Yeah...will I get a good house warming?"

Jake pulled on the wolf, and rubbed against him, "The best," he replied and began to bite on the wolf's ear. He had enjoyed his time with Lucas, but Jake always enjoyed these moments so much more. He felt Lucas chuckle and he stopped biting on the wolf and looked at him.

"Thanks for dealing with my games," Lucas said.

"It's my pleasure," Jake said playfully.

Lucas turned around in Jake's arms, "Yeah I guess it is," he said and kissed Jake then looked back at him, "You know...as much fun as it is...I think this is the best, just being here with you like this,"

Jake blushed and was surprised. "Really?" he asked surprised then laughed a little, "Funny...I was just thinking the same thing..."

Lucas smiled and nuzzled the bear, "Well, this is the best thing, just being with you like this. I love you Big-guy..."

Jake smiled and felt Lucas roll over in his arms. Jake pulled him closer and leaned in to his ear again, "I love you too Lucas," he replied. He felt Lucas falling asleep quickly and waited till he fell asleep.

Once Lucas was asleep Jake sighed and stayed with him for a while. He broke away from him. Jake got up and put on his clothes. He looked over at a clock and saw it was a quarter from five. He sighed as he put on his grey button up, he decided not to button it up and grabbed his bag. He opened the door and looked back at Lucas, "I'll see you back at campus..." he said and closed the door.

As he was walking out he stopped in the kitchen. Jake felt bad to just leave, so he grabbed a pen and piece of paper. He began to write a thank you note to the Vadiksons when he heard a door open. He saw Mr. Vadikson coming out, rubbing sleep from his eyes. He only had on a nightshirt and a pair of briefs. Jake was surprised to see anyone up and even more surprised when Mr. Vadikson walked past him. He grabbed a glass of water and then turned around. He saw Jake and gave a startled yell. He quickly calmed down, "Geez boy...wait...you going somewhere?" he asked when he saw the bags on Jake's shoulder.
