What once Was... Chapter 14

*********WARNING!!! This story is intended for MATURE and RESPONSIBLE ADULTS ONLY*********

The fox in his embrace starts to tell Joey something that's on his mind, but then sees 7-Up at stage right calling for him. The fox rushes over.

"Hey, do you have any instruments you wanna tie in to this set?" The Panther asks.

R.C. realizes he does have his black stratocaster in his car. He rushes down the 4 flights of metallic stair and out to Forbes Ave to his car. He opens the hatch and finds his guitar case and pedal board still intact. He grabs all of it and rushes back up almost tripping between the 2nd and 3rd floors. He sees his one friend leaving on the way up, he tries to say goodbye, but realizes he has to get back up for setup. Placing that in the back of his mind, he continues up and meets the panther at the top.

"Sorry sir, I forgot I had my guitar." R.C. replies somewhat out of breath.

"Oh dude, sweet! You have a guitar!" 7-up gleefully replies. "Let's get setup now, I'm sure you need to tune."

"Yeah, it's been sitting in the car for weeks, don't ask why." the fox says pulling his guitar out and walking to stage right to grab patch cords.

R.C. spends a minute tuning up while 7-up boots his laptop up and attaches it to the mixer on stage as the last DJ places the last track on. 7-Up nods to the fox and he brings his guitar and pedal board up to hook up to the mixer as well. He also checks his recording unit to ensure there's still a good amount of time left on the disc. Satisfied with the results, he plugs everything in and points to 7-Up who starts riling the crowd up. 7-up is a well respected and beloved performer in the North East region who loves performing locally for his hometown of Pittsburgh. Everyone starts crowding the dance floor in anticipation of the first track.

A couple minutes later, the last DJ's track spins down and he disconnects giving the crowd a wave as he steps down. The panther then uses the moment to prep his laptop track listing and places his first disc on the free turntable cueing it up. 7-up raises his paw in the air greeting the crowd and plays his customary intro message causing the crowd to turn into a frenzy. He then starts his house set off on the turntable and then gets into the music by dancing which the crowd immediately follows and starts dancing. R.C. immediately follows the track's melody and patiently awaits the moments where he can provide his guitar passages to pepper up the track.

As the track starts to flow into the middle section, R.C. then takes advantage adding some smooth flowing leads and harmonies into it. The spotlights then focus on him as he makes his music flow. His stripes even start to glow slightly as his eyes close. The crowd wildly cheers on getting fully lost in the music that fills the entire venue.

The entire performance of 7-Up with R.C. goes very well for both of them as 7-Up wraps up the set with his trademark closing message. The highly popular panther takes a bow with the fox and the next DJ starts to perform his set.

"Thanks for joining me, that was some nice touches you added there. Did you know I played two new tracks tonight I wrote?" the panther told the fox.

"No way! That's pretty cool!" the fox says.

"Yeah, I'm glad you could be a part of it. You're a well respected dude around here y'know." the panther says. "I'm going to take off here, see you around someday!"

"Alright, see you around." R.C. says while giving the panther a hug. R.C. then steps back to the Stage Right monitoring console and checks his recording time making sure it's still good.

R.C. spent the rest of the night at Groove trying to distract himself from his mindset of his lost friend and searching for Joey. The fox visibly appears to be agitated. He attempts to dance most of the night, but keeps getting distracted by the others asking him questions. Surprisingly to the fox, the questions are the normal array he gets bombarded with such as, "When's the next party?" "You gonna DJ again?" No one questions his new boyfriend or his sexuality. This somewhat calms the fox down as the overall atmosphere of the event is quite accepting just in general. He finally gets into the music and starts to dance away to the hard sounds.

As the morning winds down and the last DJ lays down his last track, the house lights slowly come up signifying Groove is almost completed for the evening. R.C. comes back to his senses realizing it's almost 4:00 A.M. in the morning. He then looks around sees half the place is empty as usual, most of them leave early usually to catch the buses before the weekend schedule takes effect. He looks around and sees everyone getting ready to leave, except Joey. He looks again, he can't find his fennec boyfriend at all. He starts to panic a little wondering if he forgot that he was staying with the fox. He then walks to the restrooms to relieve himself wondering if the fennec did the same. As he enters the restroom, he finds it to be empty of anyone. He the uses the toilet, washes up, and walks back out to see the venue fully lit up and empty of any ravers. The only ones still there are the crew and the twins as they clean up and take down. R.C. offers to help, but is told they have it under control. The fox then dejectedly grabs his keys and walks down the stairs.

At the bottom, he walks out waving to a few lingering party-goers still outside along Forbes. He walks to the end of the parking lane where his car sits and unlocks the driver side door. Opening it, he then curses the burnt out dome light, "I really need to replace that.." He then goes to the rear and places his guitar case back in then hops in the driver seat to start his car. He then bangs his fists off the wheel.

"Fuck me...where did I go wrong and where is Joey? His stuff is at my place." He starts to cry again. "And...I think I love him."

R.C. then leans his head up. A paw from the passenger seat reaches over and rubs the fox's back. R.C. murrs then jumps up. "Who are YOU? How'd you get in MY CAR!!!" he screams.

R.C. then looks over at a giggling fennec. "Hey foxy!" Joey speaks up.

"Joey?!?" R.C. blushes, "um you heard that? Oh wait, how did you get in my car?"

"Hehe, well you forgot to lock the other door." Joey simply replies.

"Oh...well um, I was a little...worried." R.C. blushes more trying to reply back. He shies back into his seat looking over at the fennec. The fennec has his shirt off, but the fox cannot see well without a working dome light. "Well, I guess you wanna go eat or go to my place?"

"Well foxy?" He then grabs R.C.'s right paw and places it on his own chest. "What do you want to do?"

R.C. realizes the fennec is shirtless and his own heart rate starts to increase. He then recalls what took place at his house earlier and starts becoming lightly aroused. He then thinks to himself, "I do want him."

R.C. runs his paw along Joey's chest lightly, working his way down. Joey giggles lightly from being tickled. R.C. then works his way further as he starts to breathe harder. R.C. then reaches the belt line of Joey's shorts and draws his fingers over it lightly tugging on the waistband. R.C. then leans over then suddenly is interrupted by a knock on his driver's window. R.C. immediately snaps back and opens the door. It's Eric, the fox he just talked to earlier.

"Hey...um Eric?" R.C. asks. "What's up?"

"Hi, well. I hate to ask this, but where are you going?" Eric asks.

"I'm heading home, taking Joey with me. I live by Furrywood." R.C. replies.

"Oh well...but can I maybe get a ride?" Eric asks. "I kind of lost my ride and don't have a way to get home."

Joey then leans over, "R.C.'s alone this weekend, want to come over with us and sleep over?"

R.C. lightly sighs and feels his heart drop down knowing he won't be alone with his boyfriend.

"Um maybe, is that OK with R.C.?" Eric looks down.

R.C. then sighs, then nods, "Yeah, he can come over to sleep. Just hop in behind Skykid here."

Joey hops out and folds the seat up, Eric then hops in behind making himself fit behind the passenger side. Joey then hops back in and closes the door. R.C. starts the car and checks to see if Eric has room in the back. R.C. puts the car into gear and starts to take off towards his home. "Well, it's only 4:10 AM, Should be at my place say about 4:30, sound good? I'm kind of tired." The fox drives on taking the quickest way home.

With no traffic on the roads, R.C. manages to easily pull in the driveway at 4:28 AM. The three get out and make their way to the front door following the lightly glowing fox. Once inside, R.C. locks the doors and sets his stuff down. Joey then jumps and kisses R.C. The fox is taken aback by this especially considering there is a guest. "Joey? There's a guest!"

"Oh don't mind me, heh it's cute how you two got together, hehehe." Eric replies while smiling. "So, where can I sleep?"

"Oh, well...you can sleep in the upstairs front room?" R.C. then turns the upstairs light on as the three make their way up. R.C. then shows Eric the front bedroom and amenities. Eric then thanks the fox with a hug and makes his way to the bed to sleep. R.C. then turns and pulls Joey into his bedroom. "You can sleep with me."

Joey smiles and follows the bigger fox into his room. "Sorry, it's a mess. My mom yells at me to clean it, one day I will." R.C. apologizes. The two foxes then strip down to their underwear, R.C. blushes trying not to stare at the fennec who makes it a show while stripping. Joey then lightly giggles as he catches R.C. taking a few quick glances. R.C. blushes and slowly walks over to shut the main light off as he watches his boyfriend sit on the edge of the bed in his underwear. R.C. walks over slowly in the room dimly lit only by the ambient street lighting of the outdoor neighborhood. Seeing the silhouette of a fennec fox, he comes closer to him and then wraps his paws around him. R.C. leans down and kisses him on the nose. "Joey, thank you." he whispers.

"For what my fox?" Joey whispers back.

"Making me happy." He then sits next to the fennec and starts to make out with him. The bigger fox pulls the smaller fennec into him running his pink paw pads all over Joey's shirtless back. Joey breaks the kiss breathing harder as he runs his paws along his back in return. Joey feels R.C.'s breathing as the two lay their heads on each other's shoulder and form a loving embrace. R.C. starts feeling a sense of warmth and love, a feeling he seems unfamiliar with and starts to shed a tear. Pulling his head back, he then places his paws out grabbing his boyfriends and holds them as he lowers them to his lap. He starts to shake not knowing what to say, but then musters out a few words, "Joey...I want to tell you something...but I... I uh...well I wish I could know how to say it."

"R.C. you don't have to say a thing. I know what you feel, but do me one thing hun." Joey whispers back.

R.C. looks at the fennec and starts to cry a little more. He nods and wipes his eyes.

"When you wake up, I want to see you facing me. And another thing, please don't cry. I know you're probably nervous. I am, too." The smaller fennec tries to reassure R.C. who visibly seems upset and is shaking. "Come lay with me, I wanna sleep with you my love."

The two foxes lay down facing each other. R.C. has his left paw out holding Joey's right paw as they look at each other. Joey is smiling, while R.C. somewhat smiles lightly. "R.C., I think I might be falling in love with you. I'm happy to be yours."

R.C. lays there shaking more with more tears coming from his eyes. He sniffs a couple times and finally opens his maw, "I....I...I don't know what to say...I'm scared and...I think...I might...uh...love you." He then looks up at the edge of his bed squeezing the fennec's paw harder and sighs once. "Good night Joey...let's sleep. We can talk tomorrow about this please...ok?"

Joey nods and then curls up closer to R.C. as the bigger fox smiles and closes his eyes. The two slowly drift off to sleep with their paws wrapped around each other as the early morning breeze flows in from the window over the two sleeping foxes.

-

After a couple hours pass, R.C. wakes up to the sounds and warm light coming in the rear window above his bed. He looks over and sees Joey still sound asleep with a smile on his face. The sudden morning pains of having to pee hit the fox causing him to make his way out of the bed without disturbing the peaceful fennec. He sneaks out opening his door to the small hall where the upper washroom is located. He is lightly startled from the snoring from the front room where Eric's sleeping. He sneaks into the restroom and relieves himself then washes up and heads back to his room. As he walks in, he notices the fennec sitting up on the edge of the bed. "Where were you? I thought you were supposed to be here when I woke up?" The fennec sternly teases R.C.

"I had to pee really bad..." R.C. looks down knowing he feels guilty.

"Did you at least feel happy waking up to me?" Joey asks.

"I did." the bigger fox says.

"I'll forgive you...but you have to kiss me." Joey beckons R.C. over.

"Eww morning breath kiss...blah. My last ex had horrible morning breath. I hated it." R.C. cringes. He then comes over to sit next to the fox.

"I'll assure you I'm better, hehehe." Joey giggles and then pulls R.C. over to his mouth for the kiss. The two engage in a morning romantic kiss lasting a good amount of time. The two break apart and then stare at each other for moments. They hold paws and continue looking at each other. Realizing the fact that it's 9:30 AM, the feeling of hunger starts to make itself known to both foxes in the bed. "I'm hungry, I guess I should make us some food?"

"Hmm sounds good. Make me something yummy!" Joey says.

"How does so egg sammiches sound? My way." R.C. says getting up and walking out. "Eric will wake up when he smells this." The two make their way downstairs to the kitchen in just their underwear. "Feels cool, then again we're almost naked hehe." R.C. blushes and giggles realizing their lack clothing. Shrugging it off, he grabs a pan and fires up the gas stove to preheat as he then gets the bacon pack out of the refrigerator. He peels a few strips off and lays them in the heated pan. He then pulls out the egg carton and cheese to temper them for his sandwich creations. He then goes to cook his bacon making sure to take good care not to burn it while ensuring the whole piece is cooked properly for the crisp factor the fox desires in making his egg sandwiches. The fox continues cooking eagerly awaiting when Eric will arise and come downstairs for some breakfast.

"So what you doing today?" Joey asks.

"This is like the first weekend day I've ever had off. I think we should do something together today." R.C. suggests. "Any idea where you wanna go, hun?"

"Well...it's nice out. Maybe go to a park and walk around?" Joey suggests.

"Sounds fun, maybe Frick park. I wanna go there and walk the trail." The bigger fox thinks out loud. "We can take Eric with us, where does he live?"

"Oh he lives all the way in Beaver County past the airport." Joey replies back.

"Oh that seems kind of far." R.C. says as he flips the bacon once again checking each piece as he goes. "Hmmm almost done." His ears perk up as he hears paws padding along the floor upstairs. "Ah, must be Eric, hehe, works every time."

Moments later, the two foxes in the kitchen giggle as a nude Eric walks towards them still rubbing his eyes. "Ugh..morning smells good, what's cooking?" He sniffs the air.

"Well, for starters, you are cooking." Joey says while pointing down at his exposed crotch.

"Oh...whoops I forgot, sorry R.C." Eric says covering and blushing.

"Dude, it's cool. Um, well you ok?" R.C. says blushing as well.

"Yeah, I'm just hungry and tired. Can I have some of what you're cooking?" Eric asks.

"Sure, egg sammich ok with you?" The bigger fox asks.

"Sure sounds really nice." Eric replies.

"Hehe I guess I'll join the fun with you Eric." Joey giggles while stripping his underwear off fully. "Let's make the new gay fox blush."

R.C. turns over and sees the two next to each other, then looks down as they fully display their exposed sheath and balls. R.C. turns back while blushing. "Well, that's something you don't see every day."

"Well, do you like?" Joey asks while getting closer to the fox who's pulling the bacon off the pan.

"Um, heh, well now...uh..." The fox blushes and starts to become aroused. He turns slightly as to make sure the other two foxes don't take notice. Joey appears to have noticed and as soon as R.C. places the last bacon slice on the drip pan, he reaches his paw down and grabs R.C.'s raging erection. R.C. looks back slightly nervous and deeply blushing.

"You blush too much, what's wrong? Never get your cock grabbed before?" Joey asks as Eric watches on becoming aroused himself. R.C. looks down as his still covered penis is being firmly gripped by his boyfriend's paw. He then starts to pump it slowly making the fox start to shake lightly. R.C. shakes his head slowly. "I didn't think so, your girlfriend probably didn't make you feel this good. R.C. again shakes his head. Joey looks around and notices a wet spot forming on R.C.'s light yellow boxers. "and you're getting really wet for me. You really like me don't ya foxie?" Joey continues his sexual tease of the poor fox who wishes he could just curl up and hide from all the embarrassment. Eric looks over and giggles.

Joey then releases his grip and smacks the fox on his rump firmly causing him to jump up a little. "I will have fun with you later." He then walks back and puts his underwear back on. "You like that Eric? He's going to be a nice subby bottom." R.C.'s ears perk up and he looks over at the two with a semi confused expression on his face. "Keep cooking love, you're doing a fine job over there. Also, might want to be careful with that, you may burn it, hehe." Joey pokes fun of the fox who's visibly agitated.

R.C. thinks to himself, "Subby bottom? What does he mea....oh. I'm scared now. I wanna get off badly, but how?!?" He then regains his composure and gets the pan ready for eggs. "Um, how many do you want?"

"One please" Eric says.

"One as well, gotta look my best, hehehe." Joey giggles. "Maybe some special sauce, too?" He then busts out laughing. "Kidding, you don't have enough for both now." Again they both laugh. R.C. just stands there with the spatula in hand.

"Are you two done, yet? So I can cook?!?" He visibly becomes agitated and waves the spatula at Joey. R.C. has a temper, but usually keeps it in check unless it seriously interrupts his flow or train of thought. He then slams the spatula off the side table and slaps some bread in the toaster.

"Ok, sorry...I'll make it up to you later hun OK?" Joey says as his ears droop lightly. He leans over to Eric whispering, "Yup, he's a sub alright."

R.C. then cracks a couple eggs open on the pan and then seasons them. "You two want anything special on them?"

"No thanks, just how you make them should be cool. I want to try them!" Joey says. Eric simply shakes his head.

R.C. finishes preparing the breakfast for them all and the three sit down in the dining room at the table. They enjoy their well-made sandwiches the hosting fox provided for them all. Eric asks the question that always pops up in a new relationship. "So, how did you two meet?"

"Oh I always heard of R.C. from when he DJs and works with the production teams at raves. He was at the last one and cuddled up with us. He made out with me there." Joey gives his version of the story.

"Joey, I was drugged. I think it was Ecstasy in the water or something. I don't remember much of what happened that night. I did make out with someone, but I guess it was you." R.C. tells his version.

"Oh...so it was by drugs you met?" Eric guesses.

"I guess, but Joey 3 actually witnessed the whole thing, and..." R.C. starts.

"And what..." Eric probes the fox to continue.

"Well...he told me it was Joey, and to be honest, I never met him before." R.C. goes on.

"But you were always straight, right?" Eric asks again.

"I thought so myself, even when I experimented a coupled years back with two others when I kissed them and didn't like it. I stuck to the tits." R.C. admits while giggling.

"Wait, did you do anything else with any other guys?" Joey asks with his eyes lit up.

R.C. blushes and nods. "Yeah, I come clean; I did do some playing, but never had full on sex with any guy. Just did that with girls."

"Oh ok. I don't like girls too much; they're always so damn emotional and controlling at times." Eric says. "My ex would always force me to do stuff and got mad when I tried to do something I wanted to do. Then she would blame me for everything. She even tried to hit me."

"Dude! That's seriously fucked up!" R.C. jumps in. I won't hit anyone, but I like to treat everyone equally. Hit me and I won't hit back, but hurt me and I'll defend myself no matter who you are."

"Heh, you better not hit me, you could break me." Eric says comparing his frame to R.C.'s thin, yet muscular frame. "How much do you weigh man?"

"I'm about 153." R.C. says.

"Wow, I'm 140." Eric replies "And I'm an inch taller than you I bet."

"6 foot right now. Still growing." R.C. chimes back in.

"5 10 here and about 150." Joey adds.

"So, what makes you like guys R.C.?" Eric asks.

"I really don't know, I just find attraction in both genders, guess that makes me bi?" R.C. shrugs.

"Oh that's cool. So you still like some girls?" Eric adds.

"I honestly don't know really. I uh well...kind of get off on male and female porn on the internet heh." R.C. blushes again.

"I find it ok; it's nothing to be ashamed about. It is what we all like. Just it's hard to not be considered normal because we're all gay or bi and not straight." Eric says.

"It is total bullshit I honestly believe. I mean if it's a sin or evil as they say, why do we have these feelings inside of us? I mean look at my friend Eva, her and her girlfriend go through a lot just to be with each other and they love each other. She found love in another girl, who knows or cares what they do in bed now, but yeah seriously." R.C. stands up and shakes his fist.

"It's ok foxy; you have us to support you." Joey says.

R.C. then gathers up the trash left from the three of them and cleans up. "Thanks guys, I really haven't been this happy for a long time." He says, while carrying the trash into the kitchen.

"What was the problem you've had? You always seemed happy." Eric asks.

"Well, all my relationships were sex based. It's like they and I wanted each other for sex and not much else. Guess that's my problem..." R.C. says as he comes back in. "Ok, I need to grab my shower, anyone else want to grab one after me?"

"Yeah, I'll get one." Joey says. "Ha-ha, can I join you?"

"Sure!" Eric adds.

"No, it's a small shower, you won't fit." R.C. giggles. The fox makes his way to the back room after cleaning everything up and grabs his shower as the other two sit on the floor and turn the television on. Moments later, R.C. comes out in his towel and heads up stairs to get dressed and prep himself for the day ahead. The other two take their turns at cleaning themselves quickly and getting dressed; unfortunately, Eric's clothes are quite dirty. R.C. gives Eric some clothes to wear for the day. After the three dress up, they head down to R.C.'s car and then head out to Frick Park.

Moments later, they arrive at the park and make their way to the lower trails.

"Hey, I'm going to walk this trail, I'll leave you two be, ok?" Eric says.

"Sure, not a problem, we'll come find you later." Joey says. "Let's go R.C., I wanna talk with you."

"Oh ok, heh." R.C. says as the two walk off on Tranquil Trail that leads under the Forbes ave bridge. The two look at each other occasionally while looking around at the scenery. R.C. has his paws in his pockets while he walks to the left side of the fennec. "R.C.?" Joey looks over at the fox.

"What's up?" R.C. asks.

"How are you feeling lately?" Joey asks back.

"Alright? I guess." R.C. replies back.

"Are you comfortable with this relationship? I can understand if you're not." The fennec looks over and reaches out to grab the bigger fox's arm.

R.C. stops and looks back over. "I guess so, but I'm...scared." He looks down and starts to cry. "I'm scared of...other people and they might hurt me for liking another boy." He then cries some more and then hugs the fennec. "I want this Joey...I really do."

"I know you do, I want it to work. I know we will work out." Joey hugs back. The two break the hug and look at each other. They look around and see no one around and then R.C. leans in to kiss the fennec. The two kiss each other for a moment and then break off staring at each other. "I know you really want it."

R.C. nods and blushes as he slightly glows from the rush of positive feelings. He then looks down at the ground, then looks back up at the fennec who is smiling back at the bigger fox. He starts to speak and grabs the Fennec's arm, "I...want this too. I want it to work."

The two end up hugging again and then run their paws along each other's backs. They hold together for the next few moments taking in each other's feelings and making it known to each other. They then continue down the path further while holding paws showing their sign of love towards each other. The two keep walking on for another 10 minutes, then turn around to head back towards the intersection to where Eric split away from them. They keep walking on and then run into Eric who rejoins the two. "Well, that was nice, let's head out and go to the mall or something. Kill some time and then eat so we can be ready for tonight's party." Joey suggests.

"Sounds good." R.C. says as the three make their way up to the car. The fox smiles and feels very warm inside knowing for once he has the warm feelings of love flowing inside of him. He thinks to himself as he looks over at Joey, "I think I found what I want, more like who I want to be with now. This is going to be a great night."

Joey looks over in the car at R.C., "Hey, I have something I want to tell you foxy!"

R.C. comes out of his glowing trance and looks over awaiting for what the fennec has to say...
