Riles & Demarcus
A little something done by me and BF. RIles my hyena and Demarcus my gator.
So uhhhh Mary Crit-miss. Uploaded on FA a few days ago but this site honestly deserves it more for being far more story friendly. Anyway, Art done by my BF,http://www.furaffinity.net/user/distantdarkness Characters and story are mine. If ya got the time lemmie know whatcha think. I may want to improve or something I dunno.
The call center at the Beta Mercenary location was very lively, a big difference from nearly a year ago. Events forced the group back into the spotlight, and the more sociable, or unsociable members stood by on phones, online, or at front desk to take on the dozens of requests on their part of the map. Despite all of this, a new problem was rising. A new and menacing foe was at their doorstep and Riles would be caught in the middle.
"I need healing!" Riles yelled into his mic in desperation. His entire body was tense. His muscles strained from the stress of the situation and the hyena didn't know how long he could hold on "I'm on it!" A voice cracked to life, and he was met with relief. Riles grinned as the enemy was also stunned, knocked to its knees by one of his closest partners with a devastating attack. He knew what his job was. He raised his great sword to finish off the beast. Everyone was worn down, their protector lay on the floor, down but not dead, but help wouldn't reach them in time if Riles failed. He knew this and used was ready to end this before things got worse. "GG guys." The hyena said confidently. His comrades responded in kind "Riles!" The sudden call made him jump from his seat and misclick the target. He watched in horror as the monster released a devastating swipe and downed the cleric and him in no time, "Riles!" Before Riles could curse out or direct his team to recover the hulking form of the standing in commander was in front of him. Riles felt a familiar tingle in his belly but it was quickly squashed as he realized he was caught gaming during work time yet again, a raid no less. "At least answer the phone. " Gore growled, his rumble was felt in the feet of everyone in the call room. Caught off guard the hyena meekly tried to answer it, which for who knows how long it angrily rung, with its shrill whine for attention. The pale gator's large hand came atop of his own to stop the action. "Forget it, come with me. We got things to discuss. " Riles eyes quickly glanced to his screen, and it offered to teleport him back to his saved town. "Gotta take this. Work shit. Brb." Riles stood up and adjusted his junk quickly before taking pace behind the gator, who led them to his office. The office wasn't Gore's but he was taking care of business in the commander's place, who was first injured, and now in vacation. Gore took his place behind the desk of a cluttered office and motioned for the hyena to sit, analyzing him with tired eyes. "We have a problem." "Hey-hey-hey, I'm sorry Scales, but I work better in the field." Riles shrugged with a smug grin "And you will be back out there soon enough." Gore huffed, already tired from the exchange. "What?" "We have a problem, like I said boy. We are short staffed. Our best mercs are out, save for brogen due to an 'injury'-" they both added air quotes to the word, knowing the how he was hurt "- so we sent a request, and got some new blood. Newbies. " Gore paused to search for and grabbed a book, flipping through its pages. "What's that to do with me, big guy? Pairing me up again?" "Yes." Gore flipped through the pages and found what he was looking for. " We're splitting some teams apart for a while so our newbies can gain some experience. " "You look stressed commander. " Riles leaned on the desk and looked the gator square in the eye. "I know a few people that would love to help you out wit dat. " Gore looked at the hyena for a long moment, his breathing becoming heavy as thoughts raced through his head. 'You offerin?' came to mind as a reply, but it was squashed with the thought of losing someone, and he sighed. "I dunno how commander does it. " Gore slumped in his chair. "Ome's boss is up my ass, and not in a good way, and I reeeeeeeaaallly wanna break some heads in. this job ain't for me." "I'd like to see ya in the field again, bro. Ya go wild." "I'd like to think I have that under control, thanks to Sh- "OH MY GODS" The door rumbled and flew open and a feline of orange and black fur walks in. a crossbow at his side, and a bow at his back dressed in well-worn yet expensive leather, he walks in, clearly annoyed. "We're in- " "I know what you're doing" The cat held up his hand to stop the gator mid-sentence, as his partner, a lion in his mid-twenties stood at the door, covered in heavy armor from neck to toe. He had a worried expression on his face. "Turdrah, we should check up on Ho-" "Go on ahead. " Turdrah waved a hand to his partner, dismissing him. "I have something equally important to deal with. You should do whatever Gore wants you to do as well, he will be preoccupied for a very long time. " "What are ya-" Riles started to say with a raised eyebrow, watching the cat approach their substitute commander. "We haven't gotten there yet." "Turdrah why are you here?" Gore's question was answered when the cat pulled his chair to the side and pulled him close. Turdrah Forced open the gator's shorts with his claws, while Riles watched with his mouth agape. "You've mourned for too long, and held yourself back for it. I'm not leaving until WE are done. "The cat motioned himself and Gore with a claw. The door quietly closed behind Riles, who shifted uncomfortably, but with a slight grin. Riles couldn't resist staring as Turdrah freed Gore's rapidly growing cock. The result seemed to please the cat, who grinned openly. "Continue your business so that he and I can have alone time. " The cat ordered. Riles cleared his throat as his vision shifted to Gore. "Your... Uh- Ahh.." Gore seemed to visibly relax As Trudrah wrapped his maw around the sizable member. Riles' eyes zeroed in on the cat expertly taking every inch into his maw, he could see the drool roll down the side of the shaft. Gore's claws dug into the arm rest, as he tried to get a word in, Gore couldn't remember what he was going to say. "The... " Riles trailed off as Turdrah got into it. He slurped down every inch of Gore into his throat, and Gore's head rolled back in a deep sigh. "Partner." Riles managed to mumble out, entranced by the cat's work.
Gore's hand flailed to the table and he slid a paper across to Riles. Riles Quickly snatched it up and stood up quick and stiff, slowly backing out of the room. "Are they still doing it?" Riles jumped with a yell, Quickly swiveling about with a growl to see the Lion from earlier. "How do you manage to be so quiet in full armor, Ricken?" Riles growled out, his fear forgotten. Ricken shrugged and motioned to the door. "Don't do it." Riles warned, a grin spreading on his face. "I think our old Gore will be back soon- Oh, How's Horus?" "I didn't check yet." Ricken admitted, his hand resting on the sword beside him. "Wanted to submit what we found before I sat with him to see how Therapy is going. "Well go!" Riles barked and the lion scrambled his way to the elevator, causing some of those in the call center to look up with a start. "They will be in there for a very long time. " Riles grinned and put his hands on his hips, causing him to suddenly remember the papers he was handed. He looked down at the paper and frowned "This must be a joke."
Riles Sat outside of base, in the garden leading into the vast base, The day outside was pretty calm, in comparison at the call center. Three figures were approaching in the distance and Riles knew who it was, right on time. He already knew the red and black dragon, talking loudly to his companions, laughing like an idiot. His travelling companions were a quiet wolf who seemed to nod in agreeance, covered in a grey and black coat, matching his fur. What interested Riles was the guy between them. He looked big, strong, and annoyed with the dragon. He pushed the dragon off of him, and seemed to grumble something, which caused the idiot smile to broaden. It was at that moment when the gator looked to Riles and stopped in his tracks. The dragon and wolf followed his gaze to spot the hyena, which caused the dragon to laugh even louder, more obnoxious, and the wolf seemed to smile wide before covering his face with a scarf. "If it isn't the Raid Destroyer?" The dragon was the first to speak as the trio approached. "How'd ya hear about that so soon Myron?" "I have ears, ALBERT." The dragon chuckled and pushed the gator forward in between them. "Marcus-" "Demarcus to you" Demarcus growled back at the dragon. "Meet Riles. Pretty sure you two met before." Eterni couldn't hide his grin as he spoke. Demarcus couldn't hide himself either, as he looked away from the hyena and his tail swerved into the wolf. "Oh, yeah, I remember." Riles said in a smooth tone, his brown and blue eyes narrowing down on his prey. Riles closed the distance and grabbed the gator down into a headlock. "No matter what ya did before, you're back to bein' a newbie here, so I lead, and you follow. Got it?" The Gator uncharacteristically blushed under the Hyena's grip. "Yes sir." Demarcus said firmly, accepting the grip. "I KNEW IT!" Eterni laughed aloud, startling Mercenaries on their way out. Riles looked to the pair curiously, wondering what the problem was. "No-no, don't mind me and Edward. Inside joke, bro. " Riles quickly shrugged it off, and let the gator in his mismatched armor go free. "How'd ya really find out about the raid, Eterni?" Riles was serious now, his ears almost pointed back. "Dobson called me a few minutes before we arrived. He seemed somewhat pissed. They were hoping I wasn't working so I could fill in for another attempt." "Oh." Riles shrugged it off, and patted Demarcus on the shoulder. "You're my partner now, from what it seems. We should review what ya do later. I'll talk to Bro about getting you guys some rooms. " "Will Marcus-" Eterni started to ask "Demarcus" The gator corrected "Be in the same room as you?" Riles blinked, confused. "Yeah, that's the idea here in Beta. We're partners, so, According to the rules- Which I barely follow-, it helps us move and think as one." Riles rolled his eyes " Whatcha getting' at, lizard?" Myron looked from Demarcus, who looked away to Riles, who was looking increasingly annoyed with the dragon's awkward teasing and adopted a serious face. "Sorry 'bout that. I love a good inside joke. In all seriousness, I'm starved. Your cook better than me?" "Joe? You'll have to see, follow me, idiots.
The meal was hot and delicious. Plates filled with various dishes with big portions. The dragon and Hyena chowed down while the wolf took a more delicate pace, leaving Demarcus somewhere in the middle, hungry, but not crazed. It was mid meal when Turdrah, his fur unkempt, plopped down with the four. "Who are these guys, Riles?" he asked, almost pretending they weren't there. "I'm-" Riles put a hand up to Eterni, who growled in response. The Hyena leaned in close to the cat, close enough to smell the details of what happened. " Did it hurt?" "Did wha- Oh..." Turdrah blushed and looked away, and nervously shoved food in his mouth. "Be graceful about it your highness. " Riles teased, cocky grin plastered on his face as he leaned onto the table. "I'm Prince Turdrah Riel Crazidis, Tertiary to the throne of Crazidis, home of the primal runes, gate to the Fabricators. Bearer of the wind primal rune." Turdrah started as a mumble and gained courage with each word until he was looking straight into the grey eyes of the dragon. Eterni shrugged and pointed to himself "Eterni." He pointed to the wolf who continued to eat but gave a thumbs up when called. "Edward. Demar-" "Demarcus."Demarcus glared at the dragon before he realized Eterni said his whole name. "Sorry." "Don't apologize to him, Marcus. You're mine now." Riles smacked the gator on the back who looked away. Riles was oblivious when he leaned back toward the cat. "They're the guys." "The guys?" Turdrah asked. "The guys." Turdrah shook his head in frustration. "What guys?!" he nearly yelled. "SHHHH!" Riles smacked the cat upside his head. "Look at him." Riles pointed to Eterni who took an impromptu pose. "I'm not seeing it." Riles Sighed. "They're from the shadow branch ya idiot. I'm supposed to be the idiot, but you can't catch on?" "Oh... Oh. Wait. The crazy guys?" "Is that what they called us?" Demarcus put his fork down. "Minus dis guy. Boss said he was my new partner. "Riles wrapped his arm around the gator. "Hang on. This is a lot." Turdrah pushed his food away, when Riles dug his fork into it. "Not my fo- No, No. Focus. You're the guys who commander called when an army of armored dragons came down on us? "Was I there for that?" Eterni asked. Edward nodded. "Zombies in Crazidis when we were under attack?" "Uhhh.." Eterni started, Edward nodded. "You assassinated that one guy... uh..." "I know this one! It was Lord Grey." Edward shook his head at the answer. "Not that one? Uhhh" "the guy's name was uh...Sael." "Sael does a lot of killing, you're gunna have to narrow it down just a bit." Eterni pinched his fingers tightly together. "And if Sael worked on it, he works alone, but yeah, that was us. " Turdrah thought for a moment and pushed his chair back and bowed deep. "Excuse my rudeness earlier. You've done us a great service in the past and I would be honored in some form to repay the favor. " "You don't need to do-" Eterni started but Edward tapped him on the shoulder and subtly nooded to Demarcus staring at the Hyena while he ate. Eterni nodded and turn to the cat "Stop bowing to us. People are staring. And how about... " Eterni pretended to ponder "A tour, and show us to our room. Eddie here is tired, and I've some training to do. " Turdrah stood and nodded proudly. "It would be my pleasure. " The three of them quickly took off, leaving the pair to eat alone. "You're pretty quiet Marcus. Wassup?" "I'm not good with crowds." Demarcus admitted. " Back at my hometown people liked to group up and be close. Made me uncomfortable. " "Where ya from?" Riles asked in-between mouthfuls. "Di'Varne Marsh. " Demarcus answered "Everyone there was always uh.. doing it." "Fucking." "Yeah." "Well, not to worry around here. The worst we have here is Gore. An-" "Gore?" "Yeah. gator, white, bout your size. He's our commander right now. I'll take ya to him later. Him, and E-ster and his partner are always banging. Not together, but they have drives like monsters. They're like Rabbits- NO OFFENCE ADDY-BABY" Riles could feel the iron hand of the rabbit behind him. She softened and walked off before she decided to kick his ass. "Didja fuck like that at Shadow?" "Well, uh, no. I'm-" "You're a handsome guy, ya know. The scars make ya look cool, and hard. I'm shocked if no one fucked ya yet." Demarcus chewed slowly, and the hyena watched with intensity, making sure the gator couldn't get away without answering. "I.." Demarcus started "I'm a vi-" "HA! You're a virgin?!" Riles made a casualty of the chair with his outburst, causing people nearby and far to turn to the hyena. When they realized who yelled out, they returned to whatever they were doing. "Yes." Demarcus said firmly. "My hometown had a lot of casual sex in my opinion and I wanted more out of it. " Demarcus looked the hyena straight in the eyes before he continued on. "I'm waiting on the right guy." He admitted. "Right right. Sorry. Didn't mean to hit a soft spot. Well, I did but Not in that way. " Riles recovered his chair and sat beside the gator once again. "Jus' gotta know one another inside and out, right? Anything ya wanna know about me?" "Everything." Demarcus mumbled, stuffing food in his mouth. "What?" "Err, I said where'd ya come from?" "That didn't soun-" Riles decided to drop it. "I hail from Tel-lo Valley. Before ya ask, condensed version: I was a bandit, yes, we robbed, killed, raped, blah blah blah. I was no stranger to it. That's how I grew up. It was how we survived. It wasn't about right or wrong but surviving. Anyway, I was into tech. most of the shit I got was outdated until this- "Riles leaned in close to the gator and tapped his blue eye "Turns out some guy took our road, the high road, to avoid some people who were after him. The thing can do a shit-ton.. then the wor- Am I rambling?" "please boss, go on." Riles smiled openly. "I like being called that. Anyway, my world opened up. Inferred, zoom, hacking, direct link to the net, compatible with coms, pictures, all that it's missing is lasers. " Riles chuckled to himself. "Would be awesome. That's when Azden- old old commander- found me. That was the start of me changing my life. Any details and you'll have to ask nicely, maybe some sort of offering. Something ingame usually works." "You gunna eat that?" Demarcus asked. Riles looked down to his plate, which he barely touched, and to Turdrah's plate, which he destroyed. "Eat up big guy. you're gunna get used to Riles style, got it? Demarcus eagerly accepted the plate and nodded, blushing when the Hyena patted his back.
"When you're done, come up to the top floor, I'll show you to my room. I got something that needs to be done."
The door slowly swung open to reveal Riles' masterpiece. The room was nearly beyond saving. Weapons littered the ground, save for those stuck into the walls and the door. Riles casually walked in and kicked aside some of the junk. What joined the weapons was either trash or tech Riles at some point or another worked on. "I didn't expect your collection to be on the floor." Demarcus admitted. "Shit happens." Riles led the way inside "You like axes it seems." Demarcus cast a cautious look around and sighed in relief when the halls found themselves empty. "Trophies." Riles admitted , taking a seat at the desk at the far end of the room, in front of his computer. The room itself was well sized, enough for two or three to live together comfortably. It held a single living room, this one housed a broken, fixed, and rebroken broken TV, and a single bed and bathroom. The shower itself seemed big enough to ensure the biggest of beta's employees could be comfortable within. "I guess the room is half yours." Riles took a look around the room, remembering he hadn't had a proper partner in some time. "I don't take good care of it." He shrugged and watched the gator as he sat his bags down on the couch facing the TV. "Is that a park?" Demarcus pointed to the window facing it. "That's Udeen memorial park." Riles rested his chin upon his hand. "Why are ya so reserved?" The sudden question caught the gator off guard. "Well, I, uh." " Nervous or something?" "No. I just don't talk too much. I spent a lot of time either alone, studying magic, or both." Riles' ears perked up. "You know magic?" "Not directly. I know a lot of the history, and you need it to practice rune magic. " "That's pretty cool. I never caught the hang of it, myself. But I guess you're of the strong and silent type for now. But don't worry, I'll penetrate deep and get ya to open up." Riles winked his blue eye, before spinning his chair over to his personal computer. "Make yourself at home. If ya need space, just throw some shit out. Don't forget who's boss 'round here. If it looks important, ask. Oh, there's some jerky in the fridge. Help yourself.
"No. It was work shit Dobbie. Got a new partner. " Riles sat in the living room playing a game with his guildmates. Demarcus slowly stirred to his new partner's talking. He was usually up early but it was hard to sleep with the hyena a few feet away. He slowly swung his feet off the edge of the bed and walked into the living room. "82, Phase three is when you pop the magic up potion. If timed right, it should last the final two phases of the boss, including the ads- Yes Dobbie, Eterni is around here, actually. Guest wing, I think... a computer? No. he's shit with an archer, he can't replace Alla. Isn't that why we're training backups?" Demarcus could see the hyena is completely engrossed in the game, and that he's completely naked. "One sec Dob- Yo Marcus." Riles could see the gator's reaction of looking away and it took him a second to realize why. "Oh sorry bro. I usually sleep nude. Pass me those boxers on the floor right at my bed. Yeah, those. " Demarcus tossed his new partner his underwear but not without observing. The hyena was well built, his muscles could be seen under the coat of fur. What made Demarcus reason for turning away was to avoid arousing himself. "what do you mean is he hot?" Riles finished dressing and returned to his seat before eyeing Demarcus up. "Are they talking about me?" Demarcus asked. "Wait. Who are they?" "my guildmates." Riles sighed "they're friends from a game I play. Brace yourself, turning camera on." Riles leaned back in his chair as the lens atop his monitor blinked on. His screen showed a miniature Demarcus in nothing but underwear, a very obvious bulge pressing and straining it. Riles laughed manically, like his plot for world domination came to fruition. "They're sayin' all typa dirty shit about ya, big guy. Demarcus' eyebrows furrowed in anger, then he locked on his target and it dissolved. He quickly turned away and retreated back into the bedroom, only making the hyena laugh harder. "What? No. he doesn-... Me? No one, that was a onetime thing. Make sure your AoE is a little more to the left. See that hole there? You wanna hit the boss, but make sure you hit the ads as they spawn. THEN DO YOUR JOB DOBBIN! " Riles threw off his headphones and made his way back to the bedroom. "You didn't like that." Riles said flatly. Demarcus shook his head in reply. "Just say so, bro. I'm not a mind reader. I like showing off my bod. There's this one girl in my guild that digs it. Thinking about taking a trip to her city and letting her feel it up close ya know? "you're... straight?" Demarcus' belly slowly sank. The question earned a shrug from the hyena. "I like what I like." I didn't think about it until she came on to me. One of our own hit on me some time back and I never considered it until then. A guy?" Riles shrugged again, with a big toothy grin. "Sure? As a scavenger, I take what I can get." Riles sat beside the gator, who slowly turned through a book. "What about you? Is it Eterni?" "No!" Demarcus growled, his tail hitting the wall behind them. He softened up a bit and he thought about it. " met a guy a few months ago. I don't know if he'll like me." "Be direct with him. Either wait for that moment when you're all close and shit, or just blurt it out. No idea what I would do, cause the sex I usually had was uh, rape. " "Bandit? "Bandit. Had its perks. I like being in control. Not sure which came first though. " Riles stood up, scooping up a dirty pile of clothes and an axe. "Now if you'll excuse me, I want to break stuff now."
"Didja tell him?" "No." Eterni, Edward, and Demarcus sat in the park together. Edward cleaning his rifle, while Eterni picked at the gator's brain. "it's funny how you're all meek around him. I didn't think I'd see that from ya."Eterni chuckled as he watched some people pass by "It's that obvious?" Demarcus put his book down to face the dragon "And somehow it's under his radar. He's an oblivious guy." "The words get stuck and it makes me angry." Demarcus rumbled, nearly crushing the book in his hand. " I can't get mad at him, and it burns me up." "It's gunna come out sometime. Though when we met, it was on the battlefield. Did I tell you the story, Eddy?" Edward rolled his eyes and nodded. Resting the gun on his lap. "I have to tell him sometime. I just... don't want to be crushed." "Better than not knowing, Marcus." "Stop calling me that!" Demarcus grabbed Eterni by the collar, who laughed it off. "Don't take it out on me. I wanna help ya." Demarcus took a deep breath of the flowers in the park. It helped clear his mind a bit before continuing on. "I've never been good at showing people me." "Same." Edward nodded "I guess that's why we got along so well. Riles doesn't seem to be phased by anything" "He does, but he doesn't show it. He'd rather take the good and bad with stride. I think we may have to come save you once you tell him." "ha. I never need saving." "Careful. That's my ego talking there."Eterni chuckled and patted his former partner on the back. "We're gunna make ourselves scarce, though we're not leaving until we see what happens." Edward winked at the gator after he stood up with Eterni. "Demarcus." "Yeah?" "Just relax and go with the flow. "
Riles yawned loudly, his rows of sharp teeth visible with his mouth open wide. He looked over in the bedroom- which Demarcus had cleaned- to the empty bed and messy sheets Demarcus left. He cursed himself again for the awkward encounter last night when Demarcus caught the hyena pleasuring himself "Enjoyed the show?" Riles said with a sly grin in the darkness. "Oh. Sorry. I'll go back to sleep." Demarcus discreetly hid his own hard-on by turning over and pretending to sleep. Riles scratched over his belly, breaking some of the dried cum off of it, and he made his way into the shower. He looked out the window along the way and saw the gator sitting in the grass, nose buried in a book. It was amusing to the hyena to find a guy so big, and could probably be intimidating to further study instead.
Something about the gator nagged at him, He couldn't tell what. He continued to move toward the shower when he felt his morning wood demanding attention.
Demarcus was uncertain. He flipped through the pages of the book and he traced along the lines through the pages. He was doing his best to focus on the task at hand but his new partner had occupied and dominated his mind all morning. Watching Riles with his head thrown back, sighing in pleasure as he slowly stroked himself, a shining bead of precum ready to trail down every inch of his member, the knot swelled up and ready to blow. The face on the hyena was almost blissful. The hyena bared his teeth and bucked upward as he pinched below his knot and fired aggressive shots of his seed all over himself, coating his chest and stomach. Demarcus took a sharp intake of his breath when the smell of cum hit his nose. It pushed his already throbbing cock to the limit, and he felt that powerful desire to share it with the hyena. That was when Riles' head took a sharp turn to the gator and spoke with that cocky grin Demarcus couldn't get out of his head. The very thought tented the gator's pants "Whatcha doin' there?" Riles seemingly materialized from the gator's thoughts and in shock, he accidently flung his book just out of reach. "I was- Hi Riles." Demarcus turned and grinned nervously at the hyena while attempting a half-hearted attempt at recovering his book. "I was- fuck- Practicing a new- " Demarcus' hard on throbbed painfully in his pants, and he was embarrassed to show it. "Rune combination." Riles walked in front of the gator and dangled it in front of him. "What are you holding back from me?" "What?" "I know your temper. It's as bad as mine. Eterni and I talk a lot ingame. And frankly I like that guy. He sounds fun to boss around. "Riles thought it over. "It's not anger. It's passion. "You seem afraid of something. Why'd you come?"
Demarcus was taken back by the hyena's direct question. Demarcus opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. "Maybe I'm being unfair. It has only been a couple of days and I haven't shared too much of myself." Riles stowed the book into his back pocket and sat across from the gator. "You've seen how I am with games. Sometimes I explode. I like to fight. I just wanna see and understand you. You're hiding yourself away from me. Partners are in sync. You should see Ian and Terror. They fight all the time, but you know they're great together. Brogen and Adda are married, sure, but they took the time to know one another. They opened up. I know it takes time but ya gotta reach out to me. Tell me what goes through your head. " Demarcus sat in silence staring at the hyena. How? How could he say anything to this guy, who opened up to him? How could he tell the hyena that he liked him since he met him, that since coming here, he's all that's been on the gator's mind? How could he tell him that he wanted to do more than enjoy the show, he wanted to be a part of it? Demarcus loved to spar, he loved to eat, he liked arguing with Eterni, he couldn't think clearly, maybe it was a mistake.
Riles shook his head and stood back up, patting his back pocket. "You'll get this back after we're truly partners, got it?" That didn't need answering. Riles walked off before taking a sudden stop. " I wanna see you in the training hall in an hour. Basement. Can't miss it." The Hyena was right. The elevator led to a grand lobby. The walls and floors looked durable, a metal ready to withstand the impact of any hit. Beyond the lobby were three hallways, and a board atop of it, listing the rooms and who occupied them, if they were. A few people sat in the lobby, either shooting the breeze or going over strategies. A lot of the rooms were filled and Demarcus wondered to himself if it was normal. "The beginner's ball is a couple of months away. You'll probably be a part of it." Riles stood up from his seat and approached his new partner. The hyena's expression was unreadable. "all first years, if willing, take part in it. I came third in my year, Would have gotten first if Terror and Shali didn't join that year. " "All first years here?" "Oh. Sorry. There are three branches to our little group. Omega, Alpha, and Beta. We're beta, and first in all three tournaments for the past three years. Which has the beginner's ball, doubles, and the grand Tournament. Our little Gary-stews have been dominating the doubles since they came together, but I'm hoping you and I could change that. To do it, I gotta find out how you work, what makes you tick. Let's go, big guy. " Riles started pushing the gator along, down the hall past a few occupied rooms until they came to a vacant door. "A day's rest is more than enough, and you're gunna show me what you got. " The door gasped opened and it took them to a room as narrow as the hallway, leading to another door. In between them in a corner sat a machine. It pulsed quietly on the screen until Riles got close. It blinked to life displaying settings of some sort. "We'll use this to set shit up. Basically this sets the bots to a difficulty, and you can fight it. Look through that window." The window leading to the next room showed a very wide room. It showed makes of usage: Scorch marks, scrapings from blades, and heavy dents. "Fighting isn't a problem for me." Demarcus admitted "Same here bro. Ya know what? I'll take first go, show ya how it's done. "Riles typed away at the computer, putting the settings to the highest. "It won't let me take off the limiter anymore... must be one of those changes. Everything is too easy otherwise... Not a problem for me." Riles closed his brown eye as his blue one flared to life, glowing with power as he used it to undermine the restriction. "Done!" Riles beamed happily." Makes gouging my own eye out worth it!" Riles walked over to the door. "Green button starts, Red is emergency stop, can ya do that for me?" "Yes." Demarcus rumbled. He watched as Riles walked into the room and draw to axes from his belt. Riles gave a thumbs up and demarcus hit the start button. Nothing happened at first. Riles couched into his stance, holding both axes at his sides, maniac grin on his face. He waited for the first of the bots to show up so he could take charge and tear them apart. Nothing. Riles looked from left to right to make sure he wasn't surrounded, then he looked back to the gator, who watched in silence. He turned to the gator Yelling out "Did you hi-" His question was abruptly cut short when he saw the expression on his partner. Riles reacted. The hyena didn't turn his head. He ducked low and swiveled to the side just in time for a spear to scrape through his leather armor, barely grazing his chest. He watched the spear go by and mentally traced it back to its origin. He threw one of his axes with a growl. He charged in right behind it. The axe whizzed through the air, leaving a metallic hum in its wake, until it sliced right into the attacker. The robot looked poorly made. It's scattered parts looked damaged, destroyed, bent, and mangled, but that didn't stop it from nearly impaling the hyena through the heart. The axe sliced right through the head, easily cleaving it in two. Riles wasted no time and snatched the axe from the wall, keeping his pace and laughing all the while. His opponents revealed themselves as they attacked, firing bolts and spears like the previous, in the middle of the room, giving the gator partial vision. Riles slide into the one closest, slicing the robot through the shins, then beheading the robot where it fell. He moved in a blur and disarmed the one behind him, howling out something before chopping its arms off and using it as a shield to protect him from arrows. He tossed it aside and threw his axe to one, and charged another, felling both at nearly the same time. All Demarcus could hear is the scraping of metal against metal, and the Hyena's mad laughing as he slaughtered his opponents. The remaining two bots decided to cast aside their bows, and drew two swords each. Riles barely rolled aside as one came from behind. Riles nearly joined his victims in the beheading and was forced into defense as for blades continuously assaulted him. One of the robots seemed to whizz in glee as he forced Riles to block a feint and leave the hyena wide open for his partner to stab him through the chest. The other robot with pinpoint precision met its mark, tearing into its target. Riles' eyes were wide and blue from controlling one of the robots to betray the other and forcing them to die together. Riles hacked both of their heads to be sure. Bleeding chest, dented axes, and arms outstretched Riles laughed in glory as he faced his partner. "Sorry I didn't leave any for ya!" Riles slowly made his way for the door. Riles was in his element, the berserker, reacting, attacking, killing before killed. And the gator could see that in everything he did now. It came together. Demarcus in watching his new partner found what he needed to do. He also saw another sneak attack behind his partner. He couldn't yell it out in time. Riles and Demarcus despite being different species with different faces mirrored the same look of shock as a sword came out of his chest. Blood splattered against the window, and Demarcus roared out as he watched the blade pull back and leave the hyena slumped in a growing puddle of blood. Demarcus looked around for something to do and slammed his hand on the red button. Nothing happened. The robot stood above his claimed victim, watchful of Riles' defeat. Demarcus ran to the door and it refused to budge. "I'm coming!" Demarcus vowed as he slammed the entirety of his weight into the door, sending it flying into the room. Demarcus Drew Volatile, his great sword and stomped over to his fallen partner. Demarcus wasted no time and swung at full strength. He cast aside the bloody blade and smashed his massive blade into the side of the robot, leaving it to scatter as it was forced to scramble into pieces. Demarcus dropped his blade into the pooling blood and knelt down to his partner. "Stay still I can help! " Demarcus tore away Riles' leather armor to expose the gaping wound. Demarcus could see inside of his partner and almost roughly put his hands atop of the deep cut Riles coughed out blood and with had lidded eyes spoke to his partner. "I shouldn't have tried to show off." Blood rolled from his mouth "Shut up. You'll be fine." Demarcus assured. Riles couldn't even feel the pain. He just knew he wouldn't survive it. "Get out... there's more behind you." His voice got lower as his punctured lung filled with blood. Demarcus ignored his friend's warning and focused on his task. He could hear more behind him, but knew if he stopped now, Riles wouldn't survive. He could feel the blades cut into his tough and scaly hide, but he went on. He did the only thing he could do. Riles' vision slowly came into focus and he could see the aggressive torrent of blades slashing against Demarcus' back, just over his shoulder. "Almost..." Demarcus hissed and his focus was lost, as his attackers hit flesh and started cutting into his back. Demarcus looked Riles over in a flash, and saw that he was breathing calmly now, and the blood stopped. He grabbed his great sword and spun with a wide swing. He barely connected to his mark but that was all he needed. The flat end of the blade let loose an explosion when it made contact, shattering both of his attackers. "You..." Riles started to sit up but pain shot through his entire body and he once again laid down in his own blood. "You're not fine yet, stay still. " Demarcus applied his hands back to his partner and continued to heal him. Demarcus focused deeply onto healing Riles, and the hyena focused on his partner. the door leading to the room opened and Gore, along with a couple of mercs and a hippo he grabbed along the way entered the room to see the wreckage. Demarcus had just sat back as the pale gator entered. "Is he okay?" Gore asked walking into the training zone. Another merc checked the console to ensure everything was turned off. Both Riles and Demarcus looked up to the commander and before the pair could recover from one situation, they were thrust into another. Demarcus in his mismatched armor, and bloodied back let out a growl so deep and full of rage no one could register how quickly he had Gore pinned under him, and a knife at his throat. The hippo in the lab coat gasped and Riles slowly and painfully sat up. "It IS you!" Demarcus growled. Gore could only look at Demarcus wide-eyed and full of shock. The mercenaries rushed in, weapons drawn, ready to save their leader. "Wait!' Gore ordered, with the knife pressing firmly into his skin. He could feel it as he gulped down his spit. The room sat in silence for almost an eternity. "What's this about?" Riles asked in a pained voice, he slowly stood up. "Explain it, commander." Demarcus snarled it in a mocking tone, letting the venom of his words sink deep. Gore said nothing for a long moment until the blade encouraged his words. " I almost-" Gore coughed against Demarcus' face but neither seemed to care. "as per our home's tradition, he has every right to kill me." Gore's voice was calm and firm, almost as if the knife didn't exist. "Tell them what you did. " Demarcus's hand was tight around the blade. Tight and steady. "For years we lived in the same town. He was the quiet guy you'd make fun of in TV show... I was the Cliché bully B-" "I don't care about that!" Demarcus growled his eyes sharp and almost monstrous. The blade was dying for a taste. "I almost... Raped him." Before the room could get filled with silence or more blood Gore continued on. " I was young and stupid, and I was drunk with power after becoming that year's Biigu , and even though Demarcus wanted nothing to do with it... I made my advances. I was also drunk. It's no excuse- none of it is. I shouldn't have done it. I always blamed myself for being the reason you left, and even though I still come on to people, I make sure they're willing. I felt I ruined at least that part of your life. I've always wanted to apologize but I felt it something I needed to do in person. Demarcus, I am sorry. You still hold right to do with me as you wish." Gore held direct eye contact with his brethren, bravely awaiting judgement.
"Marcus." Demarcus half turned his head to Riles "Not going to tell ya what to do on this one. As boss, I'm only going to tell you to make your choice." Demarcus merely grunted and tossed his blade aside, punching gore in the face once before blacking out. "Whoops." The hippo said casually as she pulled a syringe from one of the exposed points of flesh in his back. Demarcus could hear echoes of the Hyena's laugh as his world faded. Demarcus felt sluggish and groggy. His head felt like lead, and his limbs weren't any better off. He slowly stirred and rumbled as he felt sharp stinging in his back "Stop moving." Riles ordered which followed with more pain. Demarcus slowly opened his eyes to see the clean white walls of the medical ward of Beta. It took too much effort to turn his head, so his eyes scanned the room. Riles was behind him, he knew, and to his left, at her desk was the hippo from earlier. . His head was fuzzy and he felt drained, he knew why he felt like someone hit the flush switch on his energy, but why was he so groggy? "Is he awake?" The hippo's voice was soft and caring. Her eyes had the upmost concern in them, as she turned and stood in one swift motion. She knelt to her patient and pulled up a chair "Good evening Darling, I am Doctor Isabelle Brightwell. Most people call me Isabelle, but Albert has taken to calling me Izzy, which is fine. He's moaned it in my office more than my ex-husband did in bed! Ohohoho!" Isabelle's laugh was deep and infectious. Demarcus couldn't help but manage a series of strung together grunts. "I just wanted to thank you for saving Albert's life. No need to worry, he has history with healing the wounded, though he can't quite compare to the gift you have. My how rare. I haven't seen a healer in thirty years. But it only felt like yesterday. "The hippo brushed her silver hair as she spoke. "I remember it like it was yesterday. Back before I joined this outfit, I was a field medic in the war. Just imagine: The earth is grey and barren, with only the moans of the dying as signs of life, and the mages slinging their most devastating spells! Our knights are being bombarded with them all! And my expertise could only lead them so far.. then comes this strapping young man-" "Doc Izzy?" Riles interrupted her. "Whoops. I was rambling again." " I love your stories Doc, But Can I speak to Demarcus alone for a bit?" "Certainly. Just one thing demarcus..." Even through the groggy numbness Demarcus could feel the force of her hand atop his head and Demarcus groaned from it. "Pull a stunt like that again, and I know at least thirty ways to cleanly dispose of a body-" Demarcus could see Isabelle's calm and caring eyes were now steely and cold "- And at least thirty places no one would check on this premises. Get well soon!" Her grip was instantly gone and her cheery smile returned as she departed.
Riles sat atop straddling the lower back of Demarcus as he cleaned and patched the wounds. The cuts weren't deep but Riles stitched them up all the same. The two of them sat in silence for a long time. "I'm not good at this thanking stuff." Riles was the first to break the ice. "I know I did something stupid, but that's every day me, I ho-" "I like you." Demarcus blurted Riles hands failed him and he sat quietly on the gator's back. "when we first met, my arm was broken and I was being attacked. We sent out the distress call and- "I remember that." "All that shows up is you. You were a mad man, and you were amazing to me. You laughed as you murdered the bastards. You told me what to do and I followed it, more than I ever did with Eterni, and I found myself liking it, liking you. You saved my life first, and I never got to thank you. " "You can talk." Riles teased. "Sorry. Go on." "I could only hear about you through Eterni, and I ended up telling him how I felt about you." "is that what he was being an idiot about?" Demarcus attempted a nod "I held myself back cause you're the first person I liked, and I didn't know how to take rejection. I'm usually so angry on the inside, but I liked it when you bossed me around and when you're around I don't feel angry and so I- I dunno, I failed at everything." Riles smacked the back of the gator's head. "Don't hold back. That's rule number one of the Book of Riles." He went back to closing up the wounds. It was a long time before he spoke again. "You know you like an idiot, right? I've said this." Demarcus rumbled in response. "You're smarter than you give yourself credit for. Reckless maybe." Riles slowly dismounted his partner and patted his lower back. "You're good for now. That would explain why you're so awkward around me." Riles slowly considered the reasoning of the gator. Demarcus said nothing as he sat up and looked the hyena in the eyes.
"Go rest up, Marcus. I got some shit to handle, and I'll be back soon." Riles avoided the gaze and painfully walked away, With only bruises to show for the damage he took.
"You're mine now. You take orders from me, and you act in my name. What I say goes. " Demarcus sat against the wall to his bed with Riles on top of him. It still happened almost too quickly for the gator to realize. The door to the room swung open, and the hyena just barged in. "We're getting one thing straight." Riles growled, and Demarcus sat up in rapt attention only for the hyena to jump on top of him.
Demarcus nodded under the direct eye contact of his partner, and Riles grinned in satisfaction. "I Can't have my new partner not knowin' a thing or two about bangin' so I'm gunna teach ya a thing or two." Riles stripped himself of his torn and bloody covering and grinned down to the gator. "Don't you want to wait a while?" Demarcus fidgeted under him. "No. strip." Demarcus shivered under the warm breath of the hyena and did as he was told. He had already relieved himself of his armor so all that remained was his underwear. Riles leaned up just enough to let the gator free himself and drop the garment at his feet before riles lifted a leg and took off his own pants and plopped down on him. "Hold on a tick." Riles' face filled with deep concern as he leaned up and rested a hand on the gator's chest and reached behind himself. "Hol- How do you hide this?!" Riles roughly groped Demarcus' flaccid member which earned shocked gasps from him. His smooth cock was sizable and rested firmly between Riles' cheeks when he sat back down. "I-" Demarcus couldn't answer because his eyes were locked on the exposed sheath before him. The poking pick cock emerged before him and all he could do was smell the hyena, who seemed to be enjoying the grinding "Rhetorical. I'll be honest with you. I haven't done this before, aside a finger or two, and you're fucking huge, but I ain't no bitch. " Despite all that, the hyena visibly gulped. His now throbbing cock showed how excited he was, and Demarcus was eagerly catching up. "Open up, and no teeth." Riles pushed up against the gator and shoved his prick into his partner's mouth. Demarcus almost gasped as it happened but he did what he was told. He found his big and broad tongue hungry and curious, and it enveloped the cock. Riles sighed in pleasure and bucked his hips, ramming the gator's head into the wall. Riles held his partner by the back of the head and humped away, forcing Demarcus to slurp on every inch along the way. He wasn't one for complaining as his uncut green member flared to life, throbbing ready and powerful. "Damn your mouth." Riles sighed has he Rapidly pumped into that warm maw. Demarcus' eyes were closed as he bathed over every inch, coating it with his saliva, and earning some precum in return. The taste was salty but good in its own right, and Demarcus let out a moan as he lapped it up. "That's my boy." Riles grunted out each word with a thrust. Riles found he's partner's hands on his rear and it was good to him. The room soon became hot and musky and Riles' tongue hung out as he hungrily and mindlessly face fucked the big gator. "Open up" He repeated but didn't wait as he pried the gator's mouth open. The hyena's knot plopped in, just barely grazing past the teeth and Riles enjoyed it more than he liked to admit, nearly pushing him over the edge. Riles knew he wasn't going to last much longer, and his erratic pace was a sign. He rapidly pumped his wet cock into his partner before letting something between a deep moan and a whine out. "Don't... Swallow!" He managed to gasp out as his body tensed up and he came fast and hard. He held on tight to his partner as he unloaded every drop he could give to the gator, and Demarcus' tongue wandered to the swollen knot in his mouth, adding another gasp from his partner. Cum quickly filled his mouth, but he did as he was told and let it mark the inside of his mouth white, only nearly coughing once, when a shot hit the back of his throat. "Fuck!" Riles yelled out, his tongue to the side and he panted, he slowly pulled out he now sensitive member and slid down to his partner's lap, feeling the full length against his backside.
Riles leaned into Demarcus and kissed him deeply. His hands, previously rough, now soft on the sides of the gator's face. Demarcus rumbled into the embrace and let the hyena's tongue inside. Riles' curious, took a tour of his partner's mouth, feeling the sharp teeth inside. Then he went for the prize. His tongue played with Demarcus's own, pushing it down in a show of dominance, but it was warm and patient, rubbing against it, and forcing Riles' to taste himself in the process. That wasn't too far either as he slowly lapped at a pool of cum, cupped in his partner's tongue. Riles' hand wandered down his partner's body as he worked, storing the cum into his own mouth. Demarcus' eyes opened in confusion, and the glowing blue eye in the night winked at him. by the time Riles pulled back and rested against his throne, cum unashamedly leaked from his mouth and onto the belly of his gator. Then he put his hands to his mouth and spat, coating his palms with spit and semen. "I'm not taking that dry. " Riles clarified while reaching behind himself. "I've done that to people, and with you, I'd never walk again." Riles began to stroke and coat the gator's cock. He slowly jerked it behind himself, and Demarcus' expression showed for effort. His head hung back, and he gulped what little seed was left and wanted more from Riles. The thought was soon forgotten when Riles took more effort into pleasuring his partner, liking the reaction. Suddenly Demarcus' hands were on the hyena's arms and demarcus spoke softly. "Sorry boss, I was going t-" "-If I want you to cum, and still want you to keep going, you will." Riles leaned in close as he spoke, lifting himself above his challenge. "Yes boss." Demarcus nodded. Riles kissed his partner on the snout as he slowly worked a digit into his own backdoor. "That's my Marcus." he wasn't at it for too long before he grunted with satisfaction. He pressed himself against the throbbing mountain of meat and braced himself against its owner and went to work with gravity. "NNnnn-Fuck! Oh fuck!" Demarcus' endowment had barely pushed in past the head when Riles was stretched wide for it. His teeth clenched and his eyes screwed tight as he made slow progress, the hyena let out the breath he was holding when the head broke past he tight opening. Demarcus at some point held onto Riles and his head turned, moaning low. Riles went back at impaling himself, and he found it easier, but still a test of endurance as the massive tower of flesh was forced into his virgin asshole. The cock was huge and invading. Riles could feel it inside of him, as he met the halfway mark, and it was equal parts pain and pleasure, and he found himself already riding, slowly taking a bit more each time he forced himself down. The room filled with head again, intermingling with the wet slopping noises as Riles stretched himself wide around the member. Riles himself couldn't contain the moans and curses as it felt like his belly was being filled, and it felt good. The burning slowly faded and Riles sound himself resting on the gator's lap, and Demarcus' endurance test was passed. "Why haven't I done this before?" Riles moaned grinding the thickness within him. Demarcus could barely believe how good it felt to be inside of the guy he liked. Riles felt warm and tight, constricting even. He could feel the hyena clenching around him, and he enjoyed it. "You cum-" Riles warned, sliding up the slick manhood "-and we'll keep going until our first job." Riles thighs strained as he slammed himself onto the cock, taking each and every inch as he so desired. The bed shook with each slam Riles took. He growled out loud as each time he filled himself with his partner it hit himself somewhere deep and it was Warm and filling. Riles' cock waved and flopped against the gator's belly, leaving wet marks all over it. Demarcus' moans were deep. The more his dick was squeezed by the tight back door of Riles, the more he felt it. Every uncut inch plunged deep, and the combination of spit, precum, and cum rolled off his cock and soaked his balls. "This is mine now." Riles said more to himself than Demarcus. He rubbed over the chest of his partner as he worked his legs and ass hard for thick tool up there. Riles couldn't believe he was feeling. The first dick up his ass gave him a good feeling in his guts and it almost felt like something else. His tongue swung with him as he rode like a cowboy in the hot and musky room. His tail wagged almost throwing him off his pace, if not braced on the gator, and it almost mimicked his cock which felt close to exploding. He looked down in confusion And moaned nearly like a how as he came hands free all over Demarcus' chest and face. Demarcus' tongue was quick to lap up what it could while Riles slowed to a stop fully hilted on his partner. His cock wasn't giving up as it throbbed still on Demarcus' belly, and he agreed. Riles panted to catch his breath while he clenched around the manhood, teasing the gator. "You can't keep a gift like this to yourself Marcus'." Riles chuckled and leaned in for a kiss, which Demarcus was eager to accept. They held in the embrace for a long time, all the while Demarcus throbbed inside. Riles slowly climbed off and still panting, he laid down on the bed, tail to the side, exposing the messy asshole Demarcus had only just begun to experience. "Fuck me." Riles demanded. He looked back to Demarcus who merely stared at the winking eye, entranced. "Now." Demarcus want to work quickly, climbing atop of his boss. Riles took a deep breath and relaxed. Was a good day for him, besides almost dying. His thoughts were interrupted as his empty feeling was filled. Demarcus' body was above him, and his cock popped in, making the hyena moan in pleasure. The gator pushed himself in half way before joining their hips and the hyena gasped at the feeling. It felt very different to be fucked than riding, and he couldn't tell which he liked more. Demarcus took a steady pace, and watched as he length vanished into his partner's now abused backdoor. His cock drooled a steady stream of precum inside of it, leaving the warm hole slick and sloppy. Riles began to push back against the gator meeting him half way. "Fuck me like you mean it!" Growled Riles. His own cock still throbbed and rubbed against the gator's bed. He half turned to the gator who nodded in response and put his hips into it. Riles moaned long and low as the gator grunted with his thrusting, rocking the bed with each prostate rubbing and ball slapping thrust. Demarcus grabbed the hyena's hips while he pumped and pounded deeply with his thick manhood. The bed creaked as Riles was rocked to the core. "Harder" Riles moaned and the gator took to giving long and powerful thrusts, giving Riles the deep feeling he wanted. The alligator massaged and assaulted his partner's backdoor and before long Demarcus could feel himself coming close. "Boss." He said in a near pleading tone "let me cum." "That's not how you- Fuck! Cum!" Riles couldn't hold himself back. His already sore cock couldn't endure the sheets and his insides being abused to well, and he made a third mess under himself, matting his crotch and stomach. Demarcus wasn't too far behind. He slammed his cock as deep as it would go, giving Riles a moan and another spurt of seed from his own cock as the gator with an open drooling mouth flooded his insides. Demarcus tensed up and his claws dug into Riles who wasn't arguing with the feeling and the gator's cock throbbed and rewarded him with thick and potent seed. Riles lay with his head down for a long while. He couldn't tell how long or when Demarcus let his hole needing for a refilling. Cum oozed out of his hole and Riles didn't care. His ass however felt sore. In all his fights or fucking, never did his legs feel so strained. He felt like he was split apart for his own good. "Wha?" Riles lifted up his head as he felt warmth again between his legs. He looked back and saw Demarcus crouched down, and head in his rear. His tongue felt warm and it eased the soreness . it earned a tired moan from the hyena. "You're dirty." Riles cackled aloud. "Where'd ya see people doin' this?" "nowhere" Demarcus admitted. "It just looked..." "Right?" "Right." "Right." Riles waved a hand tiredly and dropped his head back down. "Carry on then." Demarcus needed no more encouragement as he dove back into his messy prize. He lapped at the wrinkled and cum covered rosebud before slowly worming his tongue inside to replace his cock and earning the swearing he wanted to hear from Riles. He worked his tongue deep inside, devouring his own cum along the way, giving his boss refreshing warmth as he pressed his face deep in between the toned cheeks of Riles. "I've awoken a monster." Riles chuckled and stole Demarcus' pillow for himself .
Sometime after, Demarcus finally finished, and smacked his maw, earning a chuckle from the hyena. " I have something for you to do." Riles spoke as he clenched, testing how much pain he was in. "Yes boss?" "Your bed and my bed is too small for both of us. Push 'em together." Riles leaned on his side, resting his head on his elbow as Demarcus got to work. His muscles showed no strain at all as he took his own bed, Riles and all, and lifted, it only took a few steps and a turn to settle it down, but their beds now rested as one. "So am I.." Demarcus stood at the bedside, uncertain how to ask. "My bitch." Riles said matter-of-factly. He chuckled a bit before continuing on. " Told ya I was never opposed to the idea of a boyfriend. Just that when I'm on, I'm on. You are too." "Yeah... I didn't expect that from myself. "I liked it." Riles admitted. "You gotta open up to me more, but it's a start. Just don't forg-" "I know boss." Riles scooted himself back, onto his bed and patted a big open space for the gator. "Yes, you're my boyfriend, if the word will make you happy." Demarcus smiled as he lay down beside his partner, onto the soaked spots on the bed. Riles wrapped his arms around the gator, forcing the bigger Demarcus to be taken into his embrace.
-- "Heard Riles almost died last night." Eterni took a sip of water as he sat with his former partner Demarcus and his older but newer partner Edward. "Maybe." Demarcus grunted back before going back to his food. "Also heard Gore nearly died." "Maybe." Demarcus took a quick glance to Eterni who seemed to have a snug look on his face. "You're very cheery today." Demarcus didn't reply. He stuffed his face to avoid replying. "Direct answers for once? No 'I'm eating!' or pulling out a book to ignore me. What happened?" Demarcus didn't reply still. Eterni shrugged it off and went backing to eating. "We're dating now." Demarcus said at length and it earned a dropped fork from Edward. "Das what I wanted to hear marcus!" Eterni patted the gator on the back, not knowing he hit the wounds. Demarcus despite the pain grinned. "it had been an honor having you as my partner." Eterni said "you're a strong guy, and reliable. Honest and crap. We're gunna miss you at home." Edward nodded, agreeing and his ears flat. "But even boss knows you should do what's right for you. We'll even hang out again. Knowing the trouble this place gets into, we'll need to save your asses. " Riles was soon among them, slightly limping and taking a seat next to his boyfriend. "Forgot something boyo. " he rummaged through his backpocket and handed the book to the gator who accepted and kissed the hyena on command. When Riles turned to Eterni and Edward they were both slack jawed "What?" Riles asked. "he didn't kill you?" Eterni asked, pinching himself. "Must be special." Edward said, his voice soft but firm. --- RANDOMASS SPECIAL---
Riles just leaves his room as Ian arrives back, a boy with long and smooth silver hair. Before Ian could retreat to his room he locks eyes with the hyena. They stare one another down in the hallway for a long moment. Riles is the first to move. He snaps his fingers, and his boyfriend is behind him, holding him and kissing all over his neck. Riles catches a kiss and returns it before returning to Ian's gaze, with a cocky grin
Ian is equally as smug. He brushes his hair back, with a snap of his fingers in a single flawless motion. His boyfriend, a dusk dragon named Terror is instantly upon him. Ian raises his eyebrow to his partner, knowing he would arrive at his call. Terror smacks the back of his head. "T, you're supposed to do the thing!" " What the hell are you even doing? You don't snap your fingers at me! " His dragon pride showing "it was a competition thing! You can't just not cooperate." "That sentence made no sense." "You're hitting me made no sense!" Ian turns and punches the dragon on the chest, shocking him in the process. "That's it!" The couple descends into a fistfight while Riles and Demarcus walk by "See you in doubles." Riles chimes.
