"This is crazy. how is it Daniel gets everything before I do?"
Mark was complaining for the umpteenth time since they had left the apartment. Kilik stirred up a string of evil thoughts. The most innocent one was the itching to find out if a certain timber wolf was a machine. If he was, was there an "Off" switch? His incessant whining about earlier's great sex was becoming most taxing on the vulpine.
"Do you ever shut up?" The newfound comment made Daniel chuckle a little.
"Nah. So you just gotta tune him out."
There was a brief moment of silence. It was long enough for Kilik to say "Thank y--"
The sharp bark coming from the back seat set a vein to pulsing through Kilik's temple. "Why do you have to be so cruel. Tuning me out? Impossible. You just can't do it."
Daniel glanced into the mirror, "You have another outburst like that, I'll do something that neither of you are gonna like."
The wolf leaned forward, obviously intrigued, "What've you got in mind?"
The shepherd grinned at his mate and looked back to Mark, "Take the wheel babe."
The fox did as he was instructed. He watched the two with a certain interest, but he couldn't stare for too long because of weaving roads and traffic. The canine turned to the wolf and stared at him. The air was tense as the pair just stared at each other.
Mark started sweating a little bit and nervously looked at the road, then Daniel, to the road again. "Shouldn't you be watching the --" Stopped short by a shepherd muzzle locking with his own. He didn't pull away immediately but recoiled sharply as he felt a prodding shepherd tongue tapping along his cheek and throat.
Daniel was right though. Neither of the two younger males enjoyed that action. Mark was rubbing his paws over his lips, and tongue, trying with every breath to get the feeling and taste out of his mouth. Kilik felt a blazing urge to say something to his mate but he suppressed it with great difficulty.
The canine placed his paws back on the wheel and laughed. "Don't sweat it babe. I'm still yours exclusively." He leaned over to try and lick his lover but was stopped short by a wet wipe being placed over his lips and pressed into his muzzle.
Now it was the fox's turn to laugh. Boy did he take advantage of it. He held his sides and leaned forward as Daniel coughed and spluttered. Even Mark chuckled a little. As the excitement died down, Kilik turned to Daniel, "Now that you're all clean," the shepherd pulled to a stoplight, "I'll kiss ya."
He pulled his ears back as he felt Daniel press his lips to his muzzle. He knew what his mate wanted, he tilted his head and opened up for the love of his life. He knew what was coming, the bitter taste still gave him a surprise. Daniel's entire mouth was covered in a sanitizing chemical and Kilik hated it. He winced but didn't pull away, after all, it was his fault Daniel tasted so revolting.
The shepherd twisted his rough, oral appendage around the fox's tongue. Massaging. Searching. Exploring. A unified whine came when Mark tapped Daniel on the shoulder. "Green light." Daniel pulled away with a sigh and looked at Kilik with a longing as he gave the car some gas and pulled away.
Daniel tuned the radio around found a station he liked. The announcer was still yammering on and on about nonsense, drama, weather and news. The music finally began again and Daniel yelled, "FUCK YEAH!!!" A favorite song of his began to play and he sang along with the tune.
Hello my friend, we meet again
It's been awhile, where should we begin?
Feels like forever
Within my heart are memories
Of perfect love that you gave to me
Oh, I remember
When you are with me, I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice
We've seen our share of ups and downs
Oh how quickly life can turn around
In an instant
It feels so good to reunite
Within yourself and within your mind
Let's find peace there
When you are with me, I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice
I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again
When you are with me I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
Cause when you are with me I am free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice, My sacrifice
I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again
My sacrifice.
Another red light, another kiss between a slightly weeping fox and a passionate shepherd. Then they were moving again. This time there was a silence Kilik thought it was a miracle. He breathed a sigh of relief as Mark remained silent. The small car moved along at a steady pace, it's occupants dazed. Daniel passed by a bridge, then into a tunnel. As they exited, the sight took Kilik's breath away. The mall was of mammoth proportions. How anyfur would find his or her way around was beyond the fox.
Two levels of nothing but food courts, clothing stores, arcades and furs trying to get round. It took a great deal of time for Daniel to find a suitable parking space, not that it bothered the fox at all, he greatly enjoyed looking at his mate. Or as most would say, drooling and undressing him with his eyes. Every time the car turned, Mark cleared his throat and Kilik averted his gaze. But the poor fox couldn't help himself. His eyes always managed to fall on the shepherd's soft, gentle, gorgeous-as-hell body.
After twenty minutes of tortuous eye candy, Daniel found a parking spot and stopped. Everyone piled out of the car but Kilik took a minute to marvel at the sheer size of the shopping structure. Daniel dawdled for a minute for his fox to catch up. He slipped his fingers between the other's and held a gentle grip. Kilik smiled and lay his head on his lover's shoulder.
Mark looked back and scoffed. He couldn't stand the two being together. But what was this attraction he had to both of them. This could turn out bad for everyone if he didn't get it under control.
The sliding doors opened for the trio. Daniel and Mark were accustomed to the scent of but Kilik's nose was assailed by the pungent smell of the food court. He coughed silently as they proceeded. Chinese, American, sushi bars, buffets, all were so tempting. He watched as everyone dug into their favorite dish and chattered happily and gaze with some intense passion at the fur they were with. Apparently, love was in the air and by God it was getting infections.
The mouth-watering stores began to thin out and then came the electronics stores. GameStop, Rhino's, EBGames, Best Buy, and arcades galore. One arcade that Kilik looked into in particular had a machine in the back. One machine that gained the most money out of any arcade game. One that involved good music, weight loss, and a great time for everyone. He stopped stock still in his tracks and Daniel's paw slid from his grasp. His tail began to wag furiously as he looked at the machine. A few furs complained about the over excited vulpine and his brutally swinging tail.
Daniel felt a cool breeze in his open paw. Where was his mate? He turned around and saw the fox staring into an arcade. He grinned a little and approached him. He looked over his shoulder at what his fox was staring at with such a want. "Dance Dance Revolution." He said softly. He clutched the base of the fox's tail to keep it from hurting anyone. "Do you want to play?"
The fox nodded his head rigorously. It had been months since he had played last. He was itching for another go around. Daniel slipped his hand into his pocket and put the contents into his mate's paw. "Go have fun babe."
Kilik needed no second bidding, he walked forward and his tail threaded gloriously through Daniel's dark paw. The shepherd chuckled and he exchanged a grin with Mark as the wolf passed by. The nonchalant male made his way around the arcade, skeeball, whack-a-mole,shooting games, chance and timing games, all of these vanished as he stared at the fox, standing proudly upon the steel pads, staring at the machine.
Daniel let a smirk creep across his face and he stole around the dazed vulpine and slipped in some bills. The tell-tale sound "LET'S DANCE" erupted from the side speakers. He swiveled his head to the side and watched his fox's eyes beam a pure light.
Kilik was about to go insane. This game was his favorite past-time and he wasn't about to let this chance fly away. He snapped his muzzle around the room, seeking a challenger until a firm squeeze was set upon his rump. His tail automatically shot up and bristled out, He knew the paw, his tail did too and it wanted more. It settled back to its favorite bushy state and wagged fast enough to make the air beat with each sway.
The shepherd couldn't help but laugh as he swiftly took hold of the wild length of fur. "Calm down Kilik. You're attracting too much attention." He gave off the appearance of looking at the ceiling but he quickly snatched the tail down and caused the fox to yelp and grab it.
He whined, "I love my tail." He began to lick and stroke the furred length. His eyes grew sad and his bottom lip poked out. "You hurteded me." He started to give false tears and quickly snapped back to attention. "And now you must pay with the humiliation of being defeated by a younger, more agile fox. Ha."
Daniel's eyes grew in shock. "Awww hell nah. You just didn't say you were gonna win. I'm about to kick your ass." He set up the game and took his side. A glare of challenge shot from the dark brown eyes and landed smack dab on Kilik's muzzle. The fox looked serious and occupied the empty pad.
Daniel chose the first song. It was rough and the patterns random. Obviously, the canine won this round. A few furs began to gather around the contraption to view the spectacle. The tension was beginning to build.
Kilik didn't let up though. He selected a very difficult song and almost broke the highest score, much to Daniel's shame. There was a rather large crowd around the machine, a good fifteen to twenty furs according to Mark's count.
Now, it was time for the third round. The two discussed a song for a brief moment and agreed that they would play the hardest song in the game. MAXX 300. This song was fast, heavily stepped and was thoroughly armored with an ass load of holds. The pair stepped the difficulty up to "Oni". The mob of furs grouped around the show began to murmur and wonder if they would fail the song.
The fox increased his scroll speed to x2.0. Twice as fast adding up to a total of a 500 beats per minute speed at the fastest part, 400 at the slowest. He panted and took a deep breath. This was going to be rough. The shepherd matched the fox's bluff and stepped his speed up to x2.0.
Everyone was tense, even Mark. The timber stood and watched the loading screen fly by and the background layout and game interface appear. The first burst of notes flew into view only to be snapped upon by two pairs of fox paws and a marvelous attack.
The crowd cheered and applauded the two, urging them on. A few were whispering bets back and forth, Just to see who'd win or lose. Paws shook and heavy taps were heard as the fierce battle of lovers continued.
At certain points, both would fumble and get a perfect, and both muttered but continued to slam away at the sensors. Kilik reached back and clung to the bar, Daniel did the same. Neither missed any note at all, they were flashes of gold and white as the words "Perfect" and "Marvelous" flashed with each note. Everyone was waiting for a red "Miss" to flash. But it never came.
The hardest part of the song arrived before anyone could really think. If one would listen closely, the taps could be heard all the way to the entrance doors, a good thirty yards from the arcade entrance. This battle was one for the ages and it wouldn't be forgotten any day soon.
The song ended with a dual Marvelous and both fell to their knees. They panted and gasped for any air they could manage to inhale. Daniel was the first to look up. His jaw dropped and he shook Kilik's shoulder and helped him to his paws, sneaking in a quick kiss and a "Good job babe."
Kilik looked at the score and saw a rating that made him swoon a little. It was a dizzying score for such an insane song. The crowd cheered and roared their approval. Mark stared wide-eyed at the display. There were letters. A series of letters that spelled godliness at a game like this. Each rating box read "AAA". The fox felt his blood quicken and then he blacked out.

The vulpine woke up to another splash of cold water in his face. He shook his head and looked around. He felt a paw on the scruff of his neck and he growled a little.
"Calm down furball." The voice belonged to mark so he immediately went back to his mild mannered state.
He wiped his face and grinned at Mark, only to be stared at coldly. "What?" He said.
Mark stared with daggers flying from his eyes. "You. You say you love him and then you do this to him? Who the hell do you think YOU are exactly?"
The fox brushed the paw off of his neck and tilted his head. "What're you talking about?"
Mark scoffed and shoved the fox against the wall before turning away. A snap was heard in Kilik's mind and he pushed back against the wolf and the roles reversed as the the lupine was held tightly against the tile, now with a small black knife at his throat. Mark's eyes widened with fear.
Kilik just stared at the blade, where the hell did he get this? 'Oh well, I'm not gonna hurt him, so I might as well use it.'
"Now Mark, I need to know exactly what I did to make you like this." He stared into the glazed orbs of the woodland wolf.
Mark stammered a little and Kilik moved the blade away from his neck to calm the lupine down a little. "You went crazy. After the third round of DDR, you were all over Daniel. He pushed you away but you wouldn't stop trying to kiss all over him. He still resisted you and then you pipe up, "What's the matter sexy? You wanted me soooo bad this morning. Why not here?" He stopped doing anything and walked away slowly. You wouldn't stop harassing him and I was the one who had to drag you away from him. I was the one who pulled you in here, which was a job in itself and now here we are."
The fox released the wolf, in yet another daze. The knife fell to the floor and he looked into the mirror. What exactly did he do? Who the hell was he? He embarrassed his lover and threated his friend's life. His muzzle turned slowly to the wolf who rested on the floor, propped against the wall with a paw massaging his throat. "Where is he?"
Mark lifted his muzzle to speak but a fast buzzing stopped him. He dived into his pocket and fished out his small cell phone. His eyes scanned the screen and he pressed a few buttons before scanning the screen again. "He's in the car." He heard the footfalls and he stopped the fox before he left the bathroom. "Kilik," the fox turned to the wolf, "Did Daniel ever tell you he hadn't publicly come out of the closet yet?"
