He sat on\nthe couch with a throw pillow in his lap.\"Hi mom...\"\"Hello, it's been a while...\"\"Hey... Please don't hang up...\"Oliver practiced over and over the different ways he could\nsay hi, his resolve for calling his parents loosely tethered to the hope things\nwould change.\"They'll just hang up... Prime please let them not\nhang up,\" he prayed.  \"Don't get too hopeful, if you expect nothing it\nwon't hurt,\" he thought, then argued with himself, \"it always hurts\nthey never answer and won't like you calling in a way that tricks them into\npicking up.\"The light headed fuzz was there he didn't think it would\ngo away.\"How can I love them when they don't love me,\" Oliver\nthought.He let out his claws then pulled them away.\"What if Sean can't take his meds again, or he had\ndied,\" Oliver thought then there were two smaller throw pillows, one in\neach paw.\"Damnit, I need Kevlar covers,\" Oliver muttered\nthen tossed the torn pillow cover over his shoulder, only to continue to play\nwith the faux down, \"or to just go to bed.\"He checked his phone, it read 11:13PM, he sat wanting Sean\nto be up and texting him. He felt lonely. After scattering the fluff across the\nliving room he decided to make tea. Half way through he switched off the burner\nfeeling too bloated. He walked to his bedroom.\"It shouldn't matter, why does it?\" Oliver thought\nthen flopped onto his bed.He undressed and slid under the covers, happily\nreminiscing about kissing Sean the taste and smell of him.He drifted to sleep praying Sean would be ok.   I stand in Sean's\nnarrow apartment, it smells so good. He tells me it's my home now, and I finally\nfeel safe.The darkness says,\n\"He can't protect you, no one here can, you're mine, give up boy.\"\"I'm not\nyours, nor am I the kid you bullied,\" I say.It shifts in the\ncorner of my eye, \"I will take from the others because you defy me.\"\"So do not\nfear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your Prime. I will strengthen\nyou and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right paw.\" I say\nfar more calmly then I feel.\"Boy you have\nno Prime, you left him and your family,\" the darkness says.I notice Sean's\nmedical bracelet on my wrist warm and soothing like a beacon of hope.I say, \"No\nmatter what you say or do I'm not alone.\"\"You tether\nyour soul to weak and worldly things,\" the darkness says.\"I am in this\nworld but not of it, I love, you don't, you can't,\" I say.\"Then I will\ntake all that you love boy,\" the darkness says.I'm in Sean's\nkitchen.\"Sean, Put him\ndown,\" I say as everyone moves back from the table.Paul looks at me\nwith a pleading panic.Sean then does set Paul\ndown and vomits in the sink.I smell and see the\nflecks of blood in the bile.Sean fell backwards\nlike a rag doll someone let go. He jerked and writhed on the floor, foaming at\nthe maw. I reached for the wooden spoon just like before, but when I crouched\ndown next to him I wasn't in Sean's kitchen anymore.The spoon clattered\nto the subway platform. But it was now open to the air.The tracks were now\nmore like a chasm dropping into unending darkness.\"Look into\nyour future boy, the emptiness before you,\" the darkness said.\"You have no\nplace here in my heart or my mind, I will not be made low by the likes of\nyou,\" I said.\"I told you\nboy, I will take all that you love,\" the darkness said.I felt a tugging at\nmy wrist Sean's medical bracelets clasping chain was now quiet long and dangled\nfrom my wrist down the chasm.\"You can't\nhave what I love,\" I said, \"My angels protect me.\"\"Your\nangels,\" the darkness laughed, \"it's them I will take.\" Then with a reaper\nscythe the darkness struck up at the air.It was then that I\nnoticed my Angels in formation flying with all speed to me.\"NO! Run away!\nRun,\" I screamed.Too late, my Calico\nAngel and Wolfy plummet from the sky.\"It\nbegins,\" the darkness laughs then retreats from the rage of my Shepherd.My bleeding Calico\nangel lands hard on his side barely able to move.\"Wolfy,\nwhere's Wolfy?\" I plead.Weakly my Calico\nAngel points into the chasm.I cautiously peer\nover the edge.Broken winged wolfy\nbarely has a grip on the wall, his beautiful gold and silver feathers drop away\nlike wilting petals in the wind. The rock he's holding is pulling away from the\nwall soon he and the rock will fall and a train is coming.The medical\nbracelet chain dangles near my Wolfy, so I swing it his way then brace myself,\n\"grab it wolfy grab it.\"His weight flattens\nme to the ground and drags me precariously close to the edge.I barely come to a\nstop but thankfully I do. I pull on the chain, but it's taking all I can do\njust to keep him there.My Shepherd returns\nbattered but strong, he leaps head first into the chasm.To my relief I feel\nthe weight lighten, and together we bring him back over the edge.My Shepherd has his\nhead pressed to Wolfy's chest and he is weeping.I fear the worst\nand rush forward, \"is he ok?\"My shepherd rises\nand nods at me, placing my paw in Wolfy's, I know then I must protect him.I clasp the weak\nand broken Wolfy. The train rushes through the station and into the chasms dark\ntunnel to our right.On the other\nplatform is only a pool of blood, my Calico angel is gone lost with the train.My Shepherd rises\nspreading his dirty but unbroken wings as far as they'll go, then runs full\npelter off the edge leaping in a wide spiraling ark into the maw of the\ndarkness.\"Find him,\nplease find him and come back,\" I say.   Oliver opened his eyes and startled at the dark shape\nwhich loomed over him.\"Aaaah! Who's there?\" He yelped.\"It's me,\" Sean said.\"What are you doing here?\" Oliver asked in\nconfusion.\"I came to get my meds, I didn't want to wake you\nbut where are they?\" Sean asked.\"In my dresser, wait Sean you're ok, Praise the\nPrime you're ok,\" Oliver said then leaped up to hug Sean.\"Wait wait, I need my meds and five to eight hours\nfor them to get into my system,\" Sean said.Oliver's excited bouncing won a smile from Sean, he\nhovered as Sean found the meds.\"Now you're sure these are mine?\" Sean asked.\"Yeah mine are on the bed stand, Sean, I was so\nworried,\" Oliver said.\"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen, kinda\nruined the date,\" Sean said, \"I'll make it up to you later today I\npromise, now go back to bed.\"\"Yeah I'm totally going to sleep after you show up\nafter nearly dying,\" Oliver said sarcastically.\"Well I didn't and I have to go sleep as well, I'm\nnot one hundred percent, I just want to make sure I can see you later\ntoday,\" Sean said.Oliver squeezed his paws, \"if I could I'd kiss you Sean,\nI'll see you soon.\"\"If I could, I'd do quite a lot more,\" Sean said.\"I want that to be you,\" Oliver said, \"the\nfirst that I have willingly.\"Sean stood still for a moment, \"I hate what happened\nto us I want you to feel loved.\"\"I do Sean, I was going to call my parents today or\ntomorrow on Paul's phone, you've given me the confidence too,\" Oliver said.\"Why would you need Paul's phone did yours\nbreak?\" Sean asked.\"They won't answer for mine,\" Oliver said.Sean moved like he was going to hug Oliver but stopped at\nthe last second, \"they don't deserve you, and neither do I... but I have\nto go, let me know whenever you need me, I'll come running.\"\"It's ok Sean-\"\"Promise me! I want to be there,\" he insisted.\"Fine Sean, I'll call, or text, if Ever I need you,\"\nOliver said, with Sean appeased they held paws then Sean left.Oliver couldn't relax it was too exciting that Sean was\ndoing better.\"Wait Sean got inside I must have left the door\nunlocked again, I'm horrible at that,\" Oliver thought.He paced the room then walked through his place with\nnervous energy. He found Sean had re-stuffed the pillow he tore before bed and\nleft a note, \"this is why I need you to pick out tougher blankets and\ncovers for my place, I like my pillows stuffed.\"Oliver sniffed the pillow to scent Sean again, it gave\nhim a head rush and a bit of a boner.Oliver nuzzled the pillow imagining it was Sean while he\npawed off.Then he showered and got on MuzzleBook still not sleepy.He scrolled through posts and photos of former friends\nthat wouldn't talk to him. The pangs of loss and for family stirred. It didn't\nmatter they wouldn't message or care to hear from him.His sister had blocked him on MuzzleBook but he saw many\nof her posts through her husband's page. He hadn't cared or had been too lazy\nto block him. He looked at his niece and nephew wondering if they remembered\nhim or if the family even mentioned him.\"They probably don't, and won't,\" he said to\nhimself.Before he signed off, a chat window from Jill popped\nopen, \"Hey, Oliver your up early?!!\"\"Yeah Jill I got woken up, yay... why are you\nup?\" Oliver sent.\"Oh had to go to the doctor,\" she sent\"Is everything ok?\" He sent.\"Yeah I think so just some discomfort and mom\nfreaked out, don't tell Paul, I have enough crazy to handle right now,\"\nshe sent.\"I won't just as long as your heading up like you said,\"\nhe sent.\"Oh yeah Tanner is picking me up at the\nairport,\" she sent.\"I'm looking forward to seeing you, but be\nforewarned Paul is going to show you off,\" he sent and yawned finally starting\nto calm down.\"Yeah I wish it was on the weekend then Danielle and\nTimothy could come too,\" She sent.\"Paul was telling Tanner to drive safe because more\nfurs die in car crashes then in planes,\" Oliver sent.\"Mother goddess he needs to relax,\" she sent.\"I'm calling my family today,\" he sent then\nheaded to the bathroom.\"But they shunned you, I love my parents but if I\nwere you, I don't know if I could forgive them for that,\" she sent.\"Well it's forgive or remain bitter and\nmiserable,\" he sent then peed and brushed his teeth again to complete the\nbedtime routine.\"I don't know if I could do it but more power to\nyou, my turns here the nurse is calling me, ttys,\" she sent.Oliver lay down to get back to sleep and was in a dozen\nbefore sleep, when the door buzzer went off.\"For Prime sake!\" Oliver snapped as the buzzer\ncontinued.Oliver flung back the covers and stormed to the intercom,\n\"who is it, it's well past midnight?!\"\"Oliver its Xander, I'm here with Neal,\" the\nintercom chimed back.\"Please tell me you're joking,\" Oliver snapped.\"That's what I said, but he made me come,\" Neal\nsaid.\"I need you both and Neal you shouldn't be alone\nneither should Sean,\" Xander said.\"He's going all herd dog because Sean hit his dad,\nand I uhm... vented\" Neal said.\"Fine, I'll buzz you in,\" Oliver said then a\nfew seconds after he buzzed he realized what they said.He was frozen in thought when Xander burst through the\ndoor then back peddled into Neal.\"Well hello, handsome Tiger,\" Neal said which\nsnapped Oliver out of his thoughts.Oliver dashed into his bedroom. \"Don't get dressed on my account, I like\ntigers,\" Neal said following.\"Neal you're partnered!\" Xander said.\"Yes but I can enjoy a good view, other things too,\nand we are all friends, right?\" Neal asked, his small ears perked.\"Uhm we're acquaintances,\" Oliver said then\nstepped into pajama bottoms.\"See I'm a close friend of Sean's we should get to\nknow each other, you should meet my man Fred,\" Neal said.\"Simmer down big guy!\" Xander said, \"We\nare here for Sean.\"\"You're here for Sean... and I am here because I\ncan't be alone apparently,\" Neal said and checked out Oliver again,\n\"Well it just so happens I think you might be right, Xander, I definitely\ncan't be alone tonight.\"\"Xander you said Sean hit his dad?\" Oliver asked.\"Yeah about time, well he should have just told him\nhe was pissed and not hit him but the message was communicated,\" Neal said.\"Sean confronted his dad about the therapy, after he\ncame too,\" Xander said.\"Shit really? He didn't tell me that,\" Oliver said.\"So I heard your nickname, once, I think, its Boots\nright? Is that cause your into leather, I mean that would be hot, you'd look\ngood in leather,\" Neal said.\"Neal what's wrong with you your acting weird?\"\nXander asked.\"Nothing I'm fine,\" Neal said staring at Oliver.\"Wait a minute Sean got most of his Tiger porn from\nyou! Neal go to the living room!\" Xander said.\"Hey, I'm an adult,\" Neal said.\"Then act like it,\" Xander snapped.\"Fine... I'll try,\" Neal said with the same\ngoofy grin he had had since seeing Oliver naked.\"So he and Sean both have a thing for tigers?\" Oliver\nasked.\"Yeah that's how we tried to break the Aversion\ntherapy, didn't work... well apart from making it easy to get hard, for guys\nlike you,\" Neal said, \"I was trying to get back with an otter, my\nhigh school boyfriend and Sean back to canids. I mean I got mostly past the\naversion but not enough to save that relationship, just had to learn to\nrelax.\"\"It didn't work?\" Oliver asked.\"Sorta, I just got kinky as shit, all the tiger\nporn, I ah, 'found' was pain fetish shit,\" Neal said.\"So that explains a bit about... ah never mind. Well\nSean came by to get his allergy meds then headed home,\" Oliver said.\"Well thanks I'm going to let you get some\nsleep,\" Xander said.\"Oh yeah I should help you unwind,\" Neal said.\"Have you met Sean's mom I can be just as\ndisapproving,\" Oliver said.Neal's dopey grin broadened and his tail started wagging.\"Oliver you're not helping things,\" Xander\ngroaned.\"I'm game, I'll come to you on my knees, but I'd\nprefer to cum on your boots Boots!\" Neal said them moved toward Oliver.\"Nope, nope, nope, come on Neal you're embarrassing\nus, mostly yourself though,\" Xander said and grabbed Neal by the arm and started\ndragging him out of the apartment.\"But I don't need to go,\" Neal said.\"Yes you do!\" Xander said.\"Oliver we are friends now I can stay?\" Neal\npleaded.\"Ah, I actually, kind of want to go get some\nsleep,\" Oliver said.\"You'll sleep better after, I can make sure of\nit,\" Neal said as Xander dragged him bodily out the door, \"hey you\nare so lame Xander!\"\nAfter they left Oliver said, \"that otter is\ninsane, kind of cute but insane.\"","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1112734-untouchable-chapter-42-shattered-but-unbroken-sean.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1115674-untouchable-chapter-44-solidarity-xander.json"}
