My Journey Through High School: Chapter 5: Quartet of Love
#5 of My Journey Through High School
I did not sleep well that night. I kept dreaming about a never-ending nightmare of all of my friends stabbing me in back, some literally. By the time I was drowning in my despair, I awoke to the early Saturday morning in cold sweat. Everything that happened from the last night quickly came back to me all at once, and I nearly fell into tears. I didn't feel like trying to sleep more so I got up and headed downstairs for breakfast. As I did I opened my cell phone to see how many text messages I got over the night. I wasn't that surprised that I got an alert saying 42 new messages on my phone. About 25 of them were from Morrell, but I wasn't interested in hearing what he had to say at the moment.
‘I'll let him stew for a while if he's asking for forgiveness,' I thought to myself as I slowly consumed my breakfast cereal. I stayed quiet so I wouldn't wake my mother, since she likes to sleep in over the weekends. I waded through the other messages from my friends, all of them concerned about the same thing. Ryan had sent three, Sun sent two, Nokemy sent two, Adair and Jake each sent one, Jason sent four, and the Lucian brothers each sent one. Alduin didn't have a cell phone yet, although I would bet that he'd try to call me later. I walked upstairs and quietly slid in the showers, hoping to wash off the stink of last night, and because I was too angry to shower last night. When I finished and completed my chores for the whole weekend, it was only 9:45 in the morning. I could hear my mom getting up but I just waved her good morning and headed off into my room.
‘Nothing to do really when there's nothing fun,' I thought to myself, although I tried to keep myself busy by playing a couple video games, watching TV, and reading a few chess books. After the clock went a few minutes past 3 in the afternoon, and an expected call from Alduin, my phone went off on vibrate, signaling another text message. I stopped for a second then reluctantly opened it up to see if it was Morrell. To my surprise however, it was actually Lucian Canad again. I opened it up and read what he said.
‘Hey Ryan, come and check out the small theatre at my house, my brothers and I have a special surprise for you.' I had to think for a minute if this was a trap or not to get me and Morrell face to face again. Eventually I figured I could always walked out and replied.
‘Be there within the hour,' I said and hung up, telling my mom I'd be going out for a nice run for a few hours, then left to head for Canad's house.

Meanwhile, Morrell couldn't help but mope at his windowsill. His parents as far as they've seen have not seen him budge a single inch throughout the day.
‘Ryan hasn't replied to any messages I sent him, he's still mad at me,' he thought then said aloud to himself, "What am I supposed to do?" When he wasn't thinking about Ryan Lewis, he was thinking about Gloria and that asshole Jeremy.
‘I swear if that bitch messes with me again, I won't be responsible for my actions.' Morrell thought again and sighed. He looked up at the clock to see that it was 4:21 PM. Almost as if he was expecting it, his phone went off on vibrate, signaling a call for him. He hurriedly picked it up and looked at the ID hoping it was his boyfriend. He was disappointed to find that it was Lucian Blaze, but yet he still answered it.
"What?" he asked the phoenix.
"Hey, don't tell me you've been moping for all this time."
"What am I supposed to do? He's not answering my text messages."
"Well here's the simple answer, just come over to my place at about 9:30 PM." Morrell looked at the clock again and considered Blaze's suggestion. Then said yes and hung up the phone. He didn't give a second thought as he bolted out there.
"I'm heading out for a while, be back later." He didn't even finish this sentence as he was out the door, and his father chuckled as the door slammed shut.
"About time he got off of his lazy butt to go apologize," his father said as he flipped a channel on the TV to the NFL.
"Well now that he's gone," Morrell's mother said to him in a playful tone.
"Oh hunny, you really talk..."
"You still owe me that 50 bucks that we bet six months ago," Morrell's mother interrupted.
"Are you seriously holding me to that bet Janet?" he asked her.
"Of course I am Marty," she began, "I bet you that he would be gay, and he is so pay up."
"Alright alright," Marty said, "but I want to see this Ryan character first, to see if he's as cute as Morrell says he is."
"Fair enough," Janet said as she opened up a book.

I got to the Lucian Brother's house about roughly 4:30 PM. I knocked on the door and found that Eq answered it.
"Ryan my boy, come on in," he said politely with a grin. I did so and looked around. "Our parents aren't home for a few weeks so we got the house all to ourselves. Canad's in the back while Blaze and Snow are upstairs doing their usual stuff, Blaze twirling a basketball and Snow examining his secret shrine." I chuckled as I headed to their small theatre where I know Canad is waiting for me. "I'll be here if you need me." He gave me a wink as I walked in, and found myself right in the furry arms of Canad.
"Ryan," he said merrily, "I'm so glad you could make it. How was your morning?"
"Don't ask," I said bluntly and he broke the hug smiling, "but we have just the thing to cheer you up." He led me holding my hand to a chair covered in a large white sheet, and with one pull, Canad swiftly lifted off the sheet setting it on the floor. What was waiting there for me was a small replica of myself. It was sown neatly together and done in such great detail that it pretty much looked like me. But why would they go to such great lengths to make this for me and I asked Canad it's purpose. He laughed.
"We made this to replicate your soul and spirit. Here's how it works, you take this and give this to the one you treasure the most. When you do it binds the two of you together for all of eternity. I was reading a story once of an island where it's fruit had that power. We thought this would be a nice fitting gift for you, so please take it." I slowly reached for it and picked it up, feeling the soft materials used to make this.
"It's the most thoughtful and wonderful gift that any friend has given me," I said, "Thank you so much."
"Don't worry about it," Canad said and hugged me. The feeling of his arms around me was very soothing, doubly so when he picked me up and set me in his lap, pressing my head against his chest, so I could hear his beating heart. I sighed in contentment and hugged him back, smiling for the first time in a while.
"A smile... It paid off my night," His eyes stared into mine as he smiled warmly at me. Then, all of a sudden, somewhere in the dark room, a piano started to play. A soft tune, which I knew very well as the intro of one of my favorite band's songs. A spotlight went on, illuminating the piano and the one playing it. With his fingers flying over the keys, Snow played beautifully.
"Hmm...?" I looked at the leopard, who had his eyes closed in concentration. Canad, then, leaned close to my ear and, with a marvelously soft voice, began to sing.
‘Outside on a winter's night when the rain begins to fall
There's a chill in the air and the howl of a wolf while the rain beats at the door
Seven kings will ride on the wind up towards the mountains high
And the only sound that will break the air is the warrior's bitter cry
When the dawn of a new day will see the light then the strongest hearts grow old
And the warrior stands on top of the hill in the snow'
Two more spotlights went on, this time showing a guitar and a set of drums, being played by Blaze and Equinox, respectively. I couldn't help but giggle a bit, they had it all set up, thinking of me.
The cat smiled at me again and continued.
‘Dark night with a glimmering light in the distance up ahead
In the forest they dwell with a misty spell no one heard what once was said
And the eagle fly through the clouds while earth bleeds dark and cold
When the voices of men will ring out again all creation shall unfold
When the color of night will fade to light and the weakest hearts go cold
And the warrior stands on top of the hill in the snow
And we're standing one and all fighting till we fall
Hoping for a better day, never giving in
Until we find the words, till we find the words to say
Until we find the words to say
Burning starfire shine in the sky
For the lives of great men who stand by your side
When the night fall on we will ride
For no lost souls will live on forever'
I decided to close my eyes, resting my head against Canad's chest, simply appreciating the music. I felt he hugged me closely again, while Blaze started the music's first solo.
‘Dark night on the valley below still the horsemen follow through
It's a forest that leads to the foot of the hill that inside the magic holds
Seven strong they ride on along to the place where sorrow lies
And the shadows of the night will no longer hide all their mysteries come undone
When the color of night will fade to light and the weakest hearts go cold
And the warrior stands on top of the hill in the snow
And we're standing one and all fighting till we fall
Hoping for a better day never giving in
Until we find the words till we find the words to say
Until we find the words to say
Burning starfire shine in the sky
For the lives of great men who stand by your side
When the night fall on we will ride
For no lost souls will live on forever'
I looked at the phoenix; now he had his eyes closed while his fingers strummed the guitar in the complicated chords of the solo.
‘And we're standing one and all fighting till we fall
Hoping for a better day never giving in
Until we find the words till we find the words to say
Until we find the words to say
Burning starfire shine in the sky
For the lives of great men who stand by your side
When the night fall on we will ride
For no lost souls will live on forever
For lost souls will live on for-e-e-e-ever...'
When Canad finished the last line, his brothers stopped playing, and the echo of the last notes faded away into silence.
"Wow..." It was all I could say.
All the four brothers gave me a tight hug "How was that for thinking of something?" Canad said, smiling widely.
"It was very thoughtful," I giggled. He then nuzzled my cheek lovingly, a feeling I found to be very nice.
"My favorite song of our favorite band... It was the least I could do,"
I giggled again "Oh you..."
"Now that your private show is over, what do you want to do?" He asked.
"I'm not sure..."
Eq spoke this time "Well, let's see if this helps: four handsome furs who love you from the bottom of their hearts are hugging you, after going through all the work of setting up a private show for you, featuring a song from your favorite band. Any ideas?" He smiled.
I giggled and blushed, but this was something I wanted right now, and I wanted it badly "Right, go ahead."
Canad took the lead and kissed me, probing his sandpapery tongue against my teeth, demanding entrance. Meanwhile, his brothers stripped me down, while showering my form in licks and kisses, a sensation that felt good beyond words, but overall ticklish, so I found myself giggling while returning the warm kiss.
The calico wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug, which I was happy to return as well, while moaning at the other brothers' caresses. Snow was drawing his equally rough tongue over my cock, sending jolts of pleasure through me; Blaze spread my asscheeks to look at my pucker, and Eq was working on my legs, going lower.
I couldn't help but yip as I felt the tip of Blaze's beak rubbing over my ring, and Canad took the chance to invade my mouth, drawing our tongue into a passionate wrestle. I fought back, moaning again as the leopard working on my genitals took my sac into his mouth. And finally, I giggled when I felt the long, draconic tongue of Equinox licking at my feet.
Snow rolled my testes in his mouth with his tongue, while his hand glided up and down my throbbing erection. Blaze decided to press inside my ring with his beak, the somewhat phallic shape fitting the role nicely. He opened it a little bit, stretching my walls, and letting his tongue explore my inner taste. I was beginning to lose myself when I felt a furry hand taking mine, then a warm, slick pole against my palm. I began to stroke at the cat's erection, giggling again when the dragon sucked on my big toe.
I moaned, stroking obediently the barbed erection, while the other feline decided to quit with the foreplay and take my cock in his warm mouth, bobbing his head up and down. Blaze did the same, pushing his beak in and out of me, while his tongue tickled my insides madly. Canad moaned at the stroking and nibbled gently on my ear.
In a rush, I felt all of us climaxed at once. Canad's warm seed splashed across my chest, Blaze's all over my feet, though it was quickly lapped up by the dragon. Snow purred in contentment as he drank up the cum spurting from my own cock. I sighed in enjoyment when the afterglow came, and even more when two furry bodies, a scaly and a feathery one snuggled close to me, making me giggle as feline cum was smeared across our forms.
"We love you, Ryan. Never forget this," Canad said in my ear.
"I won't, and I love you guys too," I whispered, savoring the warmth of the four brothers. We remained that way for a while before cleaning up and redressing. The four of them asked me to stay for a few hours longer, which I couldn't refuse. We did some quality stuff together when I heard the doorbell ring right about 9:30. Blaze happily answered the door and the other brothers smiled at each other, as if knowing what was going to happen. When he shut the door and came back, I saw that it was none other than Morrell. I was surprised but still mad. I quickly got at my feet and headed for the front door. Morrell and the rest of them blocked out all of the exits, keeping me inside.
"Ryan," Morrell began, "there is no way I'm letting you leave without talking first."
"Fine then let's talk, you have two minutes, make it worth it." I said bluntly, and Morrell wasted no time explaining.
"Ryan first off my former friends were just being retarded jerks who don't really care about you or me, I even had to knock one of them out you know?"
"One minute Thirty."
"And Gloria was just being the stupid whore she was, and I swear that I didn't enjoy it or consented to it in anyway. I swear I tried to get away from her, oh please please forgive me. I'm so sorry Ryan, I would never do anything to hurt you or make you feel terrible. I'll be there to shield you from harm and give you warmth in the cold, I walk with you to the ends of the earth if that's what it takes to express my feelings, and..."
"Enough," I cut him off. He stood there in a mix of shock and worry. "I believe you. I know now that you really care about me if you would come all this way to apologize, not to mention take up more than a fourth of my cell phone inbox."
"So are we good?" Morrell asked looking very pleadingly. I could see the four brothers urging me with nods and encouraging motions.
"Sure, in one condition," I said and he straightened up.
"Name it," he said. I nodded and walked to the nearby table where the doll of myself was sitting and I grabbed it, before walking back to him and handed it to him.
"I want you to have this and take it, something to hold onto when I'm not there."
"Ryan," he paused, "it's absolutely beautiful. I'll treasure this for the rest of my life."
"Alright, you're forgiven," I said and hugged him. He did not hesitate to hug me back.
