#14 of The Roommate


Xaver made it safely to the living room and collapsed on the couch with a sigh of relief. He had survived going past Oscuro's room, and now all he needed to do was change his piss-stained pants. He grabbed clean pants and underwear out of his luggage, made sure the couch was blocking him, and changed his pants while sitting on the floor. It wasn't easy, but he accomplished it.

He knew it was unfair to get angry with Oscuro, since it was Oscuro's apartment and the older deer could do as he liked, but he was upset anyway. What the hell was so great about Kyle? If Oscuro enjoyed the secretary's company so much, then he should let Kyle move in and kick Xaver out.

Xaver was suddenly aware of what it was truly like to live with another person. He never thought of Oscuro as a sexually active person until he walked past his bedroom, and he knew that the only thing he could was to put up with it. Just as long as Oscuro was content with Kyle and other males, and didn't go looking for fun under his own roof.

Kyle sounded like he was enjoying himself though. Xaver usually enjoyed himself when he was alone, but he knew he wasn't normal. He had never thought about it before, but he began to wonder if sex was an enjoyable activity after all. Why else would Oscuro have grabbed Xaver's crotch or invited Kyle to his home?

Xaver was so confused. His chaotic mind needed to be put to a good, intelligent use. He pulled a book out of one of his bags, settled himself on the couch, and read, forcing himself to fully concentrate.

In Oscuro's bedroom, Oscuro and Kyle searched for their discarded clothes and put them back on, finished for the night. It was one of the most enjoyable nights of sex Oscuro had had recently, mainly because Xaver was right in the vicinity. "I guess I'll see you at work tomorrow, Kyle."

"I'm sure you will," Kyle said. "I'm always at work, no matter how much I hate it. The people are too interesting for me to stay away." He was thinking of Bel, and how he wished he was finishing up a night of sex with him instead. He had greatly enjoyed his time with Oscuro, of course, but he wanted Bel more badly than ever.

Oscuro briefly hugged Kyle, letting his paw slip down to gently grasp the other male just under the base of his tail. He couldn't get to Xaver, but Kyle was certainly a nice substitute. "I'll let you say goodbye to Xaver now."

Kyle agreed with a wicked smile and followed the Grey-haired cervine out of the room. "I bet your cock could make anyone feel better, Oscuro!" he said once Xaver was within earshot.

"Hey Xaver, tell Kyle goodbye!" Oscuro ordered, poking the other male in the head.

Xaver felt his fur get warmer when Oscuro approached, and he didn't know why. "Bye," he muttered. He refused to look up from his book.

"Bye!" Kyle cried. "Maybe next time, I can spend time with you too, Xaver!"

Xaver knew his face was red by that point and tilted his head down further as he continued to stare at his book, his ears folded back to his skull. "Whatever."

Oscuro took Kyle's arm and showed him to the door. After saying goodbye to the feline, he went back to Xaver and stared down at him. "How long have you been on this couch?"

Xaver shrugged. "Why do you care?"

Oscuro grabbed Xaver's book and set it on the coffee table out of the bug cat's reach. "You're going to get lazy. If I let you sit your ass down on the couch all day, every day for a month, you'll probably end up with diabetes or something."

The blush had faded from Xaver's face, but his pulse was still quick. "Well what else am I supposed to do?"

Oscuro sat down on the couch beside the other male. "I don't know. Don't you have any hobbies? Is there anything you like to do?"

"My hobbies and interests are definitely different from yours," Xaver said. It was too late to bring the words back, for they had already come out of his mouth. He fought to keep the annoying blush from returning to his face.

"Aww, did you get intimidated tonight?" Oscuro asked teasingly, flicking one of Xavers ears as he said,. "Your poor virgin ears are probably tainted now."

"My eyes too," Xaver said bitterly. His eyes suddenly widened in panic as he realized what he just said. He always lost control of his mouth at the worst times. He glanced at Oscuro and saw that the other male looked amused, which was not a good sign.

"I thought I saw you run past my room," Oscuro remarked with a wink. He laughed. "I hope I looked good while naked. Kyle always says that I do, but I bet he says that to lots of people."

Why did Oscuro have to bring it up and say those things? Why couldn't Xaver stop thinking about what he had seen in the bedroom? He was going to go crazy. Doing it as casually as he could, Xaver looked at the clock. "It's getting later."

"Oh." Oscuro didn't move from his seat on the couch. "I didn't bother you too badly, did I, Xaver? I think you already know that I would love to have sex with you, but I'm still not forcing you to do anything. Being with Kyle tonight was great and he was happy, which makes me think that maybe you could open up more and learn to like me better if you finally let me touch you."

"That might work for people like Kyle, but he and I are completely different people," Xaver said. "I really don't want to talk about this."

"I think I'm right, but I can't control your opinions." Oscuro got up off the couch. "I'm going to bed."

Xaver hated asking for favors, especially from people he didn't like, but he forced himself to speak up. "Could you try to wake me up at a decent time tomorrow morning?"

"Getting up early would be a lot easier if you slept with me," Oscuro answered, smiling.

"I prefer the couch," Xaver said firmly.

"Goodnight then." Oscuro went back to his bedroom, knowing he would have to wash the top blanket on his bed due to his fun with Kyle. He considered giving it to Xaver to wash, but decided that was too mean. The feline had been shocked and startled quite a lot in a short amount of time. Oscuro kept telling himself that he needed to find a way to make Xaver happier, but he couldn't ever resist teasing the big cat, no matter how badly he wanted to be nicer.

Xaver planned on going to bed, but when he lay down on the couch and closed his eyes, his mind was invaded by disturbing thoughts and images of Oscuro happily having sex with Kyle. Xaver would never get any sleep if he couldn't stop thinking about a subject he would rather forget.

Tomorrow was another workday. He would receive another wonderfully long break from Oscuro and would soon forget all about the Grey-haired buck. He wondered how long it would take for a month to be over. It was the end of only the third day, which meant Xaver still had a long way to go. Shit.

He busied himself with thinking about what he was going to do when he was finally free from Oscuro's home. Without even realized it, he managed to temporarily forget the incident with oscuro and soon drifted off to sleep.


Oscuro woke up early the next morning and remembered how angry Xaver had been the day before for getting up late. Oscuro decided he would be a helpful person that morning and kindly rouse his roommate from sleep at a decent hour. The feline was curled up on the couch with the blanket covering only a portion of his body. He looked peaceful and Oscuro developed second thoughts about waking him.

He looked at the clock and knew that with each minute that went by, Xaver had less time to get ready. Oscuro certainly didn't want to be on the receiving end of another attack of bitchiness. He considered molesting Xaver in his sleep, since that would definitely wake the big cat up, but he knew Xaver would never forgive him for such an act.

The best way to avoid getting yelled at was to wake Xaver up in a normal way, though it wasn't nearly as interesting as trying an alternative method. Oscuro rested a paw on Xaver's shoulder and gently shook him. "Xaver!"

Xaver was not a heavy sleeper and quickly responded. "What?" He pushed Oscuro's paw away and tried to open up his tired eyes.

"It's morning! Get up!" Oscuro announced loudly. He shook Xaver again, just to make sure the feline didn't close his eyes and fall back to sleep.

"All right, I get it..." Xaver murmured. He yawned and slowly sat up, trying to get his eyes to focus. Oscuro still stood in front of him, which made Xaver uncomfortable. He tried his best to scowl, but his face wasn't awake enough to cooperate properly. "What are you looking at?"

Oscuro pointed at the clock. "See what time it is? You've got plenty of time to get ready for this morning."

"I'd better have time, or else I would punch you."

Oscuro seriously doubted that would really happen and silently laughed to himself. "I could have just left you here on the couch, you know. You're up early only because I decided to be a nice, decent person. You should thank me."

Xaver shook his head and laughed, his ears twitching slightly. "Don't sound so proud of yourself. You're acting like you saved my life or something." He yawned again and stood up, feeling in a mild mood because he hadn't slept in late. "Good. I have time to take a shower."

"There isn't enough time for us both to do it," Oscuro pointed out. "I could shower after work, but it would be a lot easier if you find some bravery, become adventurous, and shower with me."

Xaver was jolted fully awake upon hearing that proposal and looked at Oscuro as if the buck had suggested performing a mass violent homicide of middle-aged females. "Are you crazy? Of course I won't shower with you! I can barely handle having a conversation with you!"

"I promise I won't touch you," Oscuro insisted, his ears folding back on his head. "Unless you want me to, of course."

Xaver firmly shook his head, his tail flicking back and forth in an aggravated manner. "I'm sure I can trust your promise since you haven't done anything obscene to me lately, but I prefer to bathe in privacy. And it's not a weird, paranoid thing either. A lot of people feel the same way."

"Suit yourself then," Oscuro responded. "I'm going to be generous and let you have the shower this morning since I washed myself last night, but don't expect it to always be this way." He went off to get ready, leaving Xaver alone to gather up a change of clothes to wear after his shower.

It was a relief to know that he was allowed to bathe alone that morning, but Xaver couldn't help some strange, guilty curiosity. What would it be like to shower with Oscuro? He had never taken a bath or shower with another person before, not even when he was young, and he wondered if it was easier than washing alone. He could get somebody to wash his hair for him and would barely have to do any work.

Of course, taking a shower with Oscuro would mean that he would be forced to see full-frontal exposure of the deer. Accidentally seeing Oscuro with Kyle was a huge shocker all by itself and Xaver wasn't sure if he could handle any more such ordeals so soon.

Why the hell was he thinking about Oscuro anyway? He needed to get ready for work and shouldn't waste time focusing on anything else. He took his clothes to the bathroom, carefully locked the door, and got himself ready for bathing.

First Xaver turned the water on, doing it early so that it would have time to heat up. Next he stripped his clothes off and put them in an orderly pile on the floor. The water was hot by then and Xaver stepped into the shower, immediately soothed by the liquid heat that rained down on him.

He grabbed a washcloth and started rubbing himself down, starting with his face and moving down to his arms and legs. The washcloth reached the bottom of his stomach, only a couple of inches away from the top of his pubic fur. Once again he was compelled by the weird, spontaneous urge to discover the purpose of sexual activity. What was it that made Oscuro want to physically join himself with Kyle?

Xaver's cock lay there, just waiting for some use to be put to it. Xaver nervously put his paw around the organ and gently felt it, exploring every inch. He closed his eyes and it felt like touching any other part of his body. It wasn't nearly as bad as he thought it would be and he wondered why he had been previously repelled by the idea. Why did he behave the way he did anyway? Strange people made him uncomfortable, yet no one had ever harmed him. Oscuro had countless faults (in Xaver's opinion), but he wasn't a bad person and could actually be rather nice sometimes.

It felt so comfortable to just stand there in the shower and it took Xaver a few moments to realize he was still touching himself. It actually felt good and he didn't want to take his paw away. Why did it feel so wonderfully good? Xaver squeezed harder and moved his fingers up to nuzzle the tip of his cock. Unexpectedly, the organ grew hard in his paw and rose up, as if it were begging for more.

Xaver stared down at himself in shock. He knew what an erection was, of course, but had only experienced it once in a while when waking up in the morning. But that was a natural occurrence that he never asked for and had never before gotten hard through the actions of himself or someone else. Xaver was mildly freaked out, yet he couldn't stop touching the hard, moist thing that was excitedly perking up between his legs. A couple of drops of liquid briefly appeared at the head before being washed away by the shower water.

Perhaps if he stopped stroking it and left it alone, his cock would be back to normal. Xaver forced himself to stop fondling his privates and proceeded to wash his hair. He had wasted time stupidly playing with himself and got his hair and body washed quickly.

He shut the shower off and stepped out of it, doing so with slight discomfort because unfortunately he was still hard. Damn it. Would it ever go away? Xaver wrapped a towel around his wet body and the cloth rubbed against his cock, exciting it even more. If he had known his sex organ would develop a fucking mind of its own, he would have never started touching it. He didn't even know what had possessed him to do such an absurd thing. A weird sense of boldness had taken over him and he lost most of his reasoning.

He finished drying himself off and started getting dressed, being careful not to touch his aroused body part. He put everything on except for his boxers and pants, reluctant to put clothing over his cock while it was sensitive.

KNOCK.

"Xaver?" Oscuro said from outside the door. "Are you almost out? I'd like to use the bathroom."

"Um, I'm almost done!" Xaver said quickly. Shit. He couldn't go out there with a boner and risk being seen by Oscuro. He could get laughed at and possibly violated in some way. Xaver would rather stay safely in the bathroom all morning but knew that was unfortunately not an option. His mind was in a panic and he didn't know what to do. He still hadn't put his pants on and glared down at his hard cock as if the organ were a bad child in need of a scolding. "Get down, you little son of a bitch!" he whispered in frustration. "Go back to normal!"

He reluctantly put his boxers on and pulled his pants on, making them as loose as he could. There was a visible bulge in his pants and he couldn't get it to completely go away no matter how much he tried to manipulate and shift the position of his clothes. "I hate you," he muttered furiously, scowling down at himself again.

He could only think of one solution that would help him in such a short amount of time. He carefully tucked his erection into the waistband of his boxers so that the tight elastic band held the organ in place. It was uncomfortable, but his problem was much less noticeable.

He was finally ready to emerge from his haven of privacy. After gathering up his dirty clothes, he opened the door and stepped outside the bathroom. He expected to see Oscuro lurking around, but the grey-haired buck was nowhere in sight. That was certainly a relief.

Xaver put his clothes away and ate breakfast by himself. When he finished eating and stood up from the kitchen table to put his dishes in the sink, his crotch area felt different. To his relieved delight, Xaver discovered that his cock had calmed down and gone back to its normal flaccid state.

Xaver glanced around carefully and quickly unzipped his pants. He stuck his paw inside and freed his cock out from under his waistband.

"Holy fucking shit. Xaver, you're the last person I would ever expect to see touching himself."

"Ah!" Heart beating dangerously fast, Xaver pulled his paw out of his pants with inhuman speed. He had thought that being caught with a boner would be embarrassing, but he had landed himself in a situation that was perhaps even more humiliating. "I wasn't touching myself." He hastily zipped his pants back up. "I don't like revealing personal stuff, but I was straightening out my undergarments."

Oscuro just laughed, his ears perked up in attention. "Don't make excuses, Xaver. It's okay, you can admit it. I do stuff like that all the time."

Xaver glared defensively. "I'm telling the truth. I wasn't doing what you think I was doing."

Oscuro sighed. "Is it possible for us to go for one day without arguing? It's only morning and I've already managed to provoke you into one of your trademark bitch fits."

"Bitch fits?" Xaver's expression relaxed somewhat and he looked unhappily thoughtful. "Am I really that bad?"

"I've never fought so much with just a single person. You definitely have social problems."

"Oh." Xaver had always thought he was in the right and that he was justly defending himself, but he supposed he must be annoying to other people. How the hell did Oscuro manage to remain cheerful for much of the time? "I guess I'm sorry then."

Oscuro shrugged his shoulders. "Don't apologize. It's partially my fault for driving you crazy. You're pretty funny when you're mad sometimes."

Xaver tried his best not to take offense at the last remark. "Well I'm tired of all this. If you try to stop provoking me, I'll try to have a better attitude."

"Wow!" Oscuro said in exaggerated amazement. "You're actually starting to look at this reasonably. I'm proud of you."

Xaver bit back an irritated reply to that. "Well, I've been under your roof for a few days and you haven't done anything extremely terrible to me." He flushed slightly, remembering the night before when Kyle had come over. "At least not directly."

"It took you forever to admit it. Hurry up and get ready so we can go to work."

Xaver nodded and put away his breakfast dishes. He didn't know what had happened, but he was suddenly determined to make his stay with Oscuro easier to bear. He was sick and tired of being miserable. The month was going by slowly and he was desperate to do what it took to speed it up, even if it meant forging a truce with his enemy.
