"Caught in Daydreams"

Written by Legend Vildhund

For wolford


The slam of a car door and a long sigh later, Kai looked over to the wolf in the passenger seat, rain cascading down the windows around them. The larger wolf was rubbing his wrists softly, refusing to make eye contact, a feeling of shame emanating from him.

"Shane, will you look at me?" Kai reached over and put a hand on Shane's arm, tugging softly, "I don't care about what happened, I just want to know if you're alright."

Kai could see Shane's eyes betraying his pride, looking down at the hand on his arm. He turned his head a bit, enough for his blind eye to become visible, the scar above it accentuating the lack of color in its washed out iris. His other eye came into view, the vivid blue conveying more emotion than he wished to.

"I'm fine, Kai. Can we just go now?"

Kai could hear the subtle wavering in Shane's voice and, trusting his instincts from their growing up together, pulled away from the police station.

~

Shane sat on the couch in the living room, watching the TV blankly, unaware of Kai's gaze from the corner of the kitchen wall. As Kai watched, his mind flooded with memories of his childhood with the older wolf, Shane staying over more and more often as they grew up. He never really understood why, and his parents would never tell him why, though they always seemed concerned whenever he was over. It was only after Kai went with his parents to the hospital after the incident that caused his blindness. He remembered seeing him there, looking over-

Shane caught the glint of the TV off the familiar red eyes by the kitchen, their gaze disappearing as he looked over. He sighed, looking back to the TV. The sounds of the show and Kai's cooking started to turn into white noise, his mind starting to replace the sounds with bitter thoughts. His heart started to beat faster, breathing picking up as the thoughts clawed at his psyche. He knew he was alright, but at the same time, he felt like he was doing something wrong, being a burden on Kai.

Kai. He couldn't leave Kai. He knew it would worry him, he was sure of it. Shane had noticed his curious glances and stares, every so often returning the curiosity.

No, he couldn't. He couldn't give Kai what he knew the kid was looking for. He wouldn't be able to care for him the same way Kai did for him, not even close. Kai was always there no matter what, and he didn't want to ruin his tie to that anchor...

He shook his head, vision coming back into focus to see Kai sitting in front of him holding a plate of food.

"Shane? Are you okay, you're breathing really fast..."

Shane stared for a second, trying to find something to say as to not cause Kai any worry.

"Y-yeah, I'm alright Kai." He cleared his throat, pointing to the plate, hand half-outstretched for it. As it met his hand, he mumbled out a 'Thank you' before picking at it gingerly.

~

Kai looked over at Shane, the plate of food looking untouched as it sat to his side. His eyes followed down his collarbone, gliding across his body as his mind started to fill with pictures of Shane. The larger wolf looked over, a smirk forming on the dark muzzle. Kai looked up to see Shane looking back at him, jumping slightly, having thought Shane was engrossed in the TV. Shane reached over and put a hand on Kai's knee, the smaller wolf feeling a rousing in his shorts at the touch.

"What is it Kai? Looking for something?" Shane asked, hand sliding up on Kai's thigh, a finger reaching out to nudge the growing tent in Kai's shorts.

A shudder ran through Kai's body, growing almost fully erect at his touch. He reached down and moved Shane's hand to rest on top of his crotch, but as soon as he let go, the hand slipped past the waistband and grasped the throbbing shaft that was previously concealed. Shane leaned forward, wrapping his hand behind Kai's head, pulling them together, lips connecting. Kai's eyes widened, taken aback by how forward Shane was being. But he couldn't stop, his biggest fantasy by far was turning into a reality, pressing back up against the large wolf and moaning softly as he kissed back. Right as he was getting into it though, Shane had pushed him away, reaching back to practically rip Kai's shorts off. Kai had no time to react, Shane pressing his newly naked body to the small wolf. Shane growled as he slowly ground his giant cock against Kai's, succumbing to the ecstasy that was now palatable.

This continued for a few minutes, before Shane flipped Kai over, latching onto the wolf's shoulder with his teeth, pressing his rod against Kai's tailhole, pushing past the resistance. Kai's squeals of pleasure turned into labored breathing and whimpers, the pain being overshadowed by the intense pleasure filling him from behind. The sounds of primal love filled the living room, Shane pumping in and out of Kai, thrusts becoming more twitchy as he grew closer to climax.

"Kai..." he said, having let go of the smaller wolf's shoulder. "Kai."

"Yeah..."

"Uh, Kai?"

"Hmm?"

"KAI."

Kai turned around, but to his surprise there was no sign of Shane. He shook his head, turning back to his original position to see Shane in front of him, looking at him, a strange look returning. He looked down to see a giant, familiar tent in his shorts. He gasped, jumping up and running for his bedroom. He was stopped short though, Shane having reached forward to grab his arm.

Kai could feel tears welling up in his eyes as he looked back at Shane, embarrassed beyond comprehension. He tugged weakly, trying to free his arm in vain, the larger wolf being much stronger than Kai.

"Kai, come sit down..." His grip tightened as he felt Kai pulling away, "It wasn't a request, Kai. I just want to talk."

Shane reached over to grab the wolf, picking him up and sitting him down in front of him. He grabbed him by the shoulders, trying unsuccessfully to make eye contact with Kai, the red eyes evading him at all costs. Shane sighed, reaching up to turn Kai's head toward him, pulling lightly on his chin.

Tears rolled down Kai's cheeks, sniffling and wiping away at his nose.

"Kai, it's fine. Did you think I didn't already know?" Shane chuckled softly, wiping a stray tear away from Kai's face. "I know what you're thinking. I don't know how I feel, or if I feel the same way."

Kai's lip trembled, tears starting to reform in his eyes as Shane continued.

"But you're my best friend, Kai. You've always been there for me, to this day. You put up with my shit and I can't thank you enough for that. I have no one else, so you know how it has to be. I don't want to mess up the only solid thing in my life."

Shane stood him up, walking Kai to his bedroom. He laid him down, covering him up with the sheets and comforter. He placed a hand on Kai's thigh, "Get some sleep, I gave you a rough day. Thank you."

Kai looked up to say something, meeting eyes with the large wolf. As he opened his mouth, he felt it shut against his will. Focusing his eyes in the dark, he was shocked to see what had shut it.

Headlights outside shone off Shane's blind eye, piercing the night as he stared at Kai, down at eye level with him. Shane's hand fell off Kai's muzzle, before he leaned forward. Kai watched as his eyes closed, and felt as Shane's muzzle was pressed up against his, lips moving to caress each other. They kissed softly, over too soon for Kai, as Shane leaned forward and planted one last kiss on the smaller wolf's forehead before standing up to walk back out to the couch.

Kai lay there, still comprehending what happened as he drifted off to sleep, tears gliding down his smiling muzzle.

~

Kai stepped into the living room, rubbing at his eyes as he yawned. A smile followed as he remembered the night before, looking over to see Shane knocked out on the couch. Kai snuck over to watch the sleeping wolf, a calm aura surrounding him as he breathed slowly, legs and tail twitching in his sleep. Kai leaned forward to plant a soft kiss on Shane's nose, barely touching his lips to it when he recoiled and sped into the kitchen at the sight of fluttering eyelids.

Shane sat up, jarred from his dream by a touch to his nose. The sight of the tail disappearing into the kitchen revealed the perpetrator to him, but he wasn't bothered. He reached up, hands pointed towards the ceiling as he stretched, muscles rippling and body popping as it had been contorted from sleeping on the couch. He kept telling himself he should have crawled into bed with Kai, waking up next to him this morning and continuing where they had left off the night before.

The soft clicks of nails on the hardwood floors were a tell-tale sign of Shane being up. The sounds of breakfast, though, drowned out the patterned tic-ing, which is why Kai was surprised by the sudden, "G'mornin..." Even more surprising to him was the slight change in pressure on his hip, looking behind him to see Shane looking over the smaller wolf's shoulder, his large hand resting on Kai's waist. Kai had to resist melting at the touch; he didn't want to make Shane feel uncomfortable, but his emotions were trying to betray him.

"What're you makin'?" Shane asked, more to bring Kai out of his trance than to ask the obvious. The sudden jerky movement in his hand told him it had worked, and he chuckled, reaching back to give the small wolf's butt a little squeeze before walking back out to the living room.

When Kai walked out to tell Shane that breakfast was ready, he could see the pages of a newspaper turning, flipping back and forth in a searching fashion. The wonder of where it had come from aside, he got closer he could see that Shane was reading the classifieds, something he had grown used to seeing throughout the years.

"Anything looking promising?"

The large wolf looked up, unaware of Kai's presence initially. With a sigh, he looked back to the walls of HIRING in big, black letters, "Nothing that could work out. Background checks and all..."

He tossed it to the side, rubbing his eyes as he looked up to Kai, "Breakfast ready?" he asked, trying to sound encouraging. Kai, of course, saw through the fake smile and reassuring tone, but he didn't need Shane to feel bad at this point in time. Feigning ignorance, Kai reached forward and pulled him off the couch, "C'mon big guy, I made some pancakes with blueberries in them."

Shane's ears perked up as he jumped to his feet, temporarily ripped from his sadness over the thought of pancakes.

~

Kai looked across the table to see Shane wolfing down pancakes, completely in his own world as Kai thought about what he could do to help Shane get a job. Even though it was only minor misdemeanors, they kept Shane from being hired at basically any big place in town, afraid to have some bad publicity if something were to happen. There were some trades that didn't check or didn't care, but knowing Shane, he would just get in trouble again. It took time to get used to Shane's attitude, and even more for Shane to not give you one, something that Kai learned after a lifetime.

A muffled noise came out of Shane's mouth, breaking the silence with his pancake-filtered words. Kai snickered as he watched Shane try to swallow all the food, curious to what he had thought was so important to say right at that moment.

"What about fast food? There's an America's at the university and a Pacific Rim down the street."

"You don't like either of those places, Shane. Every time I suggest them, you say you'd rather have something else," Kai explained, cutting some pancake off the rest.

Shane shrugged, "Doesn't mean I have to eat there. And it's money, so it's better than what I'm doing now." He set his fork down and looked out the window, "I could probably swing by there later on today."

Kai got up and started walking to the kitchen, "You gonna need a ride down there? I can take you by on the way to work."

"I'm not gonna stay there all day while you're at work, Kai. Thanks for the offer, though," he said as he got up to follow the smaller wolf into the kitchen. Kai stopped him after he turned around and stood up on his toes, leaning in to kiss the larger wolf. When nothing happened for a few seconds, he opened an eye only to be met with Shane's lips against his. He smiled, holding the larger wolf there for a couple seconds before walking off to go get ready for work.

~

Shane waved as Kai pulled away, leaving for work a little later than usual thanks to the grace of his manager. As soon as the sedan drove out of sight, the large wolf rolled his sleeves up to his elbows, the shirt having been constricting his movements. He felt like he was overdressed to have a walk-in interview at a fast food restaurant, but Kai was very stubborn about him wearing anything else.

As he made his way down the street, he couldn't help but feel a bit weird. Shane was no stranger to weird looks and all, the scar from his mother's outburst one night and the subsequent blindness in his left eye leading to a life of weird looks. He saw children point at him from car windows, people turn their heads or completely ignore his presence so they wouldn't be caught staring. It's not like he didn't want to talk about it. Shane had come to terms with it, and it didn't bother him to explain it to someone. Actually, he wished he could sit down and talk about it more often. He wanted people to ask him so they wouldn't be afraid to look at him.

Today wasn't any different. The looks were the same, and when he was sitting in the manager's office, Shane could feel the scrawny otter trying to not stare at him.

"S-so, uh... Shane?" The question was obviously rhetorical but Shane could tell that the manager was nervous, wringing his hands together and cracking his knuckles every couple of seconds. Silence started to fill the room like a noxious gas, and even Shane started to get uncomfortable with the lack of sound.

The otter shook his head softly, as if waking up from a daydream, meeting eyes with Shane who looked equally confused.

"Right! Yes, that's correct, so sorry..." the otter apologized, hands fluttering through the multiple stacks of papers on his desk. He exclaimed under his breath when he found what he was looking for, motioning to the cup of pens at the corner of his desk. "Go ahead and fill this out for me, and if you give me your driver's license, I can go make a copy of it while you work on that."

Shane nodded, looking at the walls of text followed my walls of fill-in spots. With a huff, Shane got to work on the sheet, having to write incredibly small just to fit everything on the page.

There was a giant clock on the wall opposite him. Shane could hear it ticking loudly, slowly digging into his ear. He shook his head, trying to shut it out.

Tick tock.

The clock was digging deeper and deeper, the monotonous rhythm holding him captive, unable to focus.

Tick tock.

There was another rhythm that was harmonizing with the one in his skull. He couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Tick tock.

Pounding Kai. Putting the small wolf underneath him and plowing him into the next dimension. Hips rocking to the beat.

Tick tock.

Howling as he climaxed, painting Kai's insides white with his hot jizz. Oh God.

Tick tock.

He looked down at Kai. Why hadn't he done this sooner? He rubbed the ring on his finger.

Tick tock.

Shane blinked. The paper was sitting in front of him, still half filled out with a small squiggle running off the page, leading from the end of the Marital Status box.

"Just about done?"

~

Shane followed the otter around the kitchen, feeling himself be looked up and down, the other staff sizing him up. He wasn't intimidated, but he was hoping that he wouldn't have any problems with anyone here. He had to behave at this job and show Kai that he could be an adult.

"Because you haven't worked in food service before, we're probably going to start you over here," he motioned to the front counter, "at the registers. Of course, you won't be all alone up here."

Shane looked over to the registers to see who the otter was talking about, who he'd have to learn from.

A college student, probably a 3rd or 4th year, was taking orders with a smooth precision, tapping the screen in front of him without breaking eye contact with the customer. The deer was smaller than most others he'd seen, but his skinny jeans created the illusion of him being taller, stopped off at the waist by a puffy deer tail, flicking whenever he tapped in an order. The black company shirt hung loose on his shoulders and his hair was tied back on his head, probably thrown into the bun last second as he walked in for work. The snow white hair contrasted with the right side of his head, shaven down to the fur, the soft brown standing out.

"Shinobu, can I get you over here when there's a break in customers?"

'Probably a foreign student...' Shane thought to himself, Shinobu not being too popular a name from what he knew.

The deer looked over his shoulder as he handed the customer their receipt, a soft smile appearing on his face "Sure thing, Mr. Barry, just give me a couple of minutes!"

When the deer finally stepped over, he had his hand out before they were introduced. It obviously took Shane by surprise because he stood there for a few seconds before the action was registered in his head. He put his hand to Shinobu's as Mr. Barry introduced them.

"Shino, this is Shane, he's going to be running the registers up front with you starting Monday. I trust you'll show him the ropes?"

Shino looked up to Shane, and nodded, "I'll make sure he knows it backwards and forwards!" As Shino turned around to go back to the registers, Shane swore that he saw the small deer wink at him. The large wolf brushed it off, but the thought was like a small nagging voice in the back of his head.

~

Kai sat at the table in the break room, picking at the food in front of him. He couldn't stop thinking about the night before, and he especially couldn't stop thinking about what he wished had happened. He had laid awake for at least an hour fantasizing about what more could have happened had he convinced Shane to get into bed with him. He crossed his legs under the table, not wanting the rest of the people in the break room to notice his current fantasizing. It didn't stop him from thinking about it though, mind wandering to Shane's large body on top of his, plowing him into the mattress as he moaned out in ecstasy. Shane's bellowing howl erupting above him as he panted and moaned and whimpered, pleasure shooting through him at a most intense level.

Kai snapped out of his daydream when he heard someone sit across from him, his fork diving back into his bowl. He looked around to make sure no one had noticed his drifting away, the following conversation about his state too awkward to imagine.

As he got up to walk back to his desk, Kai subconsciously slowed down as he passed the bathroom. In what felt like minutes, but was more likely half a second, Kai looked around to see if anyone had been watching him before ducking into the bathroom.

Had he not shut the stall door as fast as he did, someone could have caught a glimpse of his belt being undone at the speed of light, pants hitting the tile floor. He noticed a sizeable dark spot on his underwear, and when they hit the floor, it was pretty obvious why. Kai didn't think he could be so erect, but as his cock stood at attention before him and he brushed his hand on its tip, he knew that it was perfect. More pre leaked from the tip, more than had previously stained his underwear. Every touch sent a shudder through his body, the small wolf's breathing picking up in speed. He whimpered, biting his tie to muffle his noises so that no one would come in to investigate. He wrapped his hand around the base of his cock, sliding it up with a groan of pleasure.

At first, every door, footstep, and voice outside of the bathroom caused him to stop and cover himself all the way up. Soon enough, though, the pleasure overtook him and even someone sitting in the stall next to him couldn't have stopped the fervent masturbating. His hand was rocketing up and down his hard rod, no care in the world other than getting to release.

If it hadn't come when it did, Kai probably would have exploded from all the pent up pleasure and energy. He had to strain to not howl, the pleasure so wild as it run up and out of his cock, hitting the stall door in front of him. He dropped the tie from his mouth, panting quietly as he tried to recover from the unrestrained session.

He sat there, tongue hanging from his mouth as his head was swimming with trailing pleasure. He kept getting glimpses of Shane, the same ones from his dreams the night before. Shane towering over him, the slab of cock inches from his nose, nostrils flaring as he breathed in the soft musk from a long day of work.

As the hinges on the door creaked open, Kai got dressed in record time, brushing out the wrinkles in his shirt and tie. With a quick wipe up, Kai stepped out of the stall and nodded to his coworker as he walked back into the office. Thankfully no one noticed his short absence and he went back to work, computer lighting up as he turned it back on.

~

Ears flicking up, Shane awoke to the sound of Kai pulling into the driveway, headlights flooding the main room with bright yellow light. Shane's back popped a couple times as he sat up, yawning as the small wolf came into view. Kai seemingly didn't notice the larger wolf sitting on the couch, much to Shane's surprise.

Before Kai even got to the doorframe of the kitchen, he was intercepted from behind by Shane's big bear hug, being pulled close to the warm body. Kai could feel a stirring in his shorts, one that he didn't want to be noticed, so he turned around and gave him one more quick hug before stepping away. It didn't help, to say the least, the strain on his waistband positively noticeable. Shane feigned ignorance, instead changing the subject for him.

"Guess who got the job at Pacific Rim?"

Kai turned his head, back towards Shane, "Really? You just walked in and they handed you the job?"

"Basically," the big wolf said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Got my uniform, key card, walked around the kitchen, met some coworkers." Shane was having trouble getting the image of Shinobu winking at him out of his head. Especially right now, as he noticed how similar Kai was in shape, save the lack of the small rack of antlers of course.

While listening to Shane, Kai noticed a few drops of cum from his earlier escapade in the bathroom spattered on the bottom of his shirt. Along with that, there were small punctures in his tie, his teeth having gone almost right through it. He started wondering if they had been there all day.

"That's great, Shane!" Kai continued, trying to draw attention away from the hiding of the cum stains and slightly mangled tie. He walked around looking in cupboards, moving in a way that Shane wouldn't notice the mess. "What are you thinking for dinner, big guy? You get to pick, new job and all."

Shane smirked as he stepped out of the doorframe, walking up behind the small wolf. He reached forward and grabbed Kai's ass, all the while leaning in right next to him. With a low growl, he whispered into Kai's ear, "How about some of this?"

He reached around and grabbed the mangled tie, wrapping it around his hand and pulling Kai right up next to him. Nose to nose they stood for a second before Shane leaned forward and planted a kiss on Kai's lips. That wasn't the end, though, as Shane reached a hand up under Kai's shirt and pulled their bodies right next to each other. Shane guided the smaller hands to the growing bulge in his pants, noticing Kai's heart race quicken as he touched it, felt it in his palms.

"Shane?"

"Yeah?"

"What did you want to eat?"

Shane blinked. Kai was standing in front of the pantry, looking back at him with a questioning look.

~

Shane honestly didn't know what he was expecting when he asked for the job. His first shift was the next morning, due to the fact that not many people wanted Chinese fast food on their daily commute. He pushed through the glass doors, Mr. Barry walking around the corner to meet him with a surprisingly cheery expression.

"Ready for your first day at US's most popular restaurant, Shane?"

Shane stood confused for a second, knowing well that Pacific Rim couldn't be the most popular restaurant in the US. That is until Shinobu walked in wearing a University of Springcoast hoodie over his uniform. As the pieces snapped together in his head, the wolf sighed, knowing he needed more sleep for today.

Shane felt a hand rest on his upper arm, startling him as he looked over to see who it was. Shino laughed softly, reaching back up to rub the wolf's arm.

"C'mon Shane, I'll get you warmed up before people start coming in," he said, walking past Mr. Barry to the kitchen entrance. Shane could have sworn that Shino winked at him again as he walked through the swinging door. Something was going on with the deer, and Shane had a good idea of what it was.

A couple people preparing the kitchen introduced themselves as Shane made his way to the front counter, wishing him good luck on his first day. Although their niceness helped ease his worries about getting along with his coworkers, Shino's flirtatiousness set something else off inside of him.

Shinobu stood waiting for Shane, showing the large wolf where he'd be working, "So this is your register. Super simple, I promise, but if you do need any help, I'm right here," he put a hand on his own register, "so don't be afraid to ask!" The deer chuckled before reaching over and reading the number on Shane's note he had written with his login information. "Now, enter this into the register once it boots up. Won't be able to take orders without it!"

Shane heard half of what Shinobu was saying, watching the small deer to see if he was trying anything different in terms of flirting. A waste of time is what he realized it was, the deer not doing anything other than trying to help Shane get used to using the system. He convinced himself that he must have been over analyzing stuff earlier and moved on, signing into the register and beginning to familiarize himself with the placement of the menu items on the touch screen.

~

Shane looked at the clock on the screen, wiping his brow and taking a sip of his water from under the counter. Shinobu stepped over and tapped a few things on screen which caused a bunch of different numbers to come up.

"293 customers in your first lunch rush, not bad Shane! You look beat," Shino said, pointing on the obvious. Shane rested a hand on the counter, holding himself up as he took a breather. All the wolf could do was nod while sipping at his water, mouth drier than the Atacama desert, which in turn caused the small deer to laugh.

"It's impressive for your first day, really. Take a short break and I'll catch anyone who comes in," Shino followed up, gently rubbing Shane's arm again.

Shane nodded and took a step back into the kitchen, watching the kitchen crew work their magic at the grill. It had to have been mesmerizing enough to make the canine zone out because hearing Shino call his name jolted him out of whatever state of mind he was in.

"Second lunch rush, Shane, I need you back over here!" The deer turned back to his customers, motioning for some of them to move over to Shane's register where the wolf had just leaped back over.

"Welcome to Pacific Rim, can I get you started with any of our stir fry combos today?

~

Kai opened the door to his car, reaching in to start it. He needed to get the air conditioning running on full blast, the car full of suffocating heat from the sun beating on it all day. And with it being a little past noon, the sun wasn't going to let up anytime soon. Kai laid against the wall under the shade of the business sign, loosening his tie and rolling up his sleeves. As he waited in the cool shade, his stomach growled, reminding him of why he was outside.

He could go wherever the rest of his coworkers were going, probably some pizza buffet or whatever. Kai decided against it, pulling out his phone to look for someplace nearby he hadn't been to in a while. As he scrolled through the different options, he came across a familiar name from back in college. He pulled out his wallet to see if he still had his ID so he could sneak the student discount, and lo and behold, in big bold letters on the card he pulled out was the name of his alma mater, "University of Springcoast".

Kai hopped up into his car, shutting the door and allowing the crisp, cold air wash over him. After sitting for a minute, he put his car in reverse and made his way out of the parking lot towards Pacific Rim.

When he got there, he could see that they weren't too busy, surprising to him as Pacific Rim was always busy when he still studied there. As he walked through the doors, he could tell that nothing had changed. The place still looked and smelled the same and a wave of nostalgia washed over him, even remembering where he and his friends would sit during lunch. As he turned around, he recognized a familiar face.

"You started work today?" he asked as he walked up to Shane's register, beaming as he had left this morning without saying bye to the larger wolf. "How are things? Make any friends?"

"It's all good, mom," Shane teased, relaxing a bit after the two lunch rushes had blasted through. "Anything I can get you? I might be able to join you if my coworker can cover the registers while you're here."

Kai was about to order, when his heart stopped. Someone came out from the kitchen, hand tracing down the back of Shane as they came around, eyes meeting the small wolf's. The eyes looked him up and down, piercing through him. "Shino?"

"You don't have the right to call me that, Kai." The deer didn't break eye contact, sneering at the small wolf.

Shane was dumbfounded, looking between the two of them without any clue to what was going on. Him asking that probably didn't make things any better for the situation.

"Well, Shane, before you moved back into town, Shinobu and I had been dating a bit." Kai broke eye contact with his ex to talk to Shane, but he could still feel the cold, angry eyes looking directly at him.

"Dating a bit? Is that all you have to say about us, Kai? What about the times we shared at the beach, or the times spent at dinner, or how about the times we spent in your apartment? Oh, you know, the times when 'everything was right with the world' and 'you couldn't imagine a better moment than what had just happened'?" Shinobu was steaming by now, fists clenched and a tightness in his voice that sounded like the restraint of tears.

Shane could see Kai was about to retaliate, "Guys, stop. I don't want to hear about your bad romance," Shane growled quietly, "You had a past, and that's fine, but take care of your problems on your own time. Kai, I don't want to, but I think you should leave so there aren't any more outbursts here."

Kai scoffed, but inside he understood the importance of him getting out of there before anything else came to fruition. "I'll see you at home, Shane..." Kai walked out of the doors, getting into his car without letting it cool off and driving somewhere else. Shinobu waved him off sarcastically, waiting for him to leave his vision before sighing and rubbing his temples in frustration.

"I'm sorry," a voice broke through the silence behind the counter. Shino looked up at Shane, "It wasn't my place to cause anything. I hope you can forgive me for that."

Shane was still confused. Shinobu had been furious all of a minute ago and now he was apologizing to him, someone who had nothing to do with the situation or the history behind it at all. "It's fine, but I don't know why you're apologizing to me."

Shinobu looked up at the wolf again, before looking back to the register. He sighed before someone walked up to the register and Shinobu sounded like nothing had happened just then. Same cheerful employee with a clean voice that made the customer's experience easy and fast. Shane wished he could do that, thinking about what had just happened as he turned to his own waiting customers, tapping the screen of his register to bring it back to life as he started his shpiel.

~

Shane looked up from his dinner, watching Kai pick at his food, chewing on something small every so often. The air hung on a wire of silence, coming close to tipping over and breaking every so often, but the only sounds were forks and knives on the plates, and the soft munching of food. The larger canine could tell what was bothering the wolf sitting silently across from him, and there was no denying that it had to do with the fiasco at lunch today. Shane sighed, looking back down at his food, but as he was about to place another bite into his mouth he heard Kai mutter something under his breath. With the silence broken, Shane spoke up, "What'd you say, Kai?"

"I said I'm sorry about today. I didn't know Shinobu worked there and I should have just left instead of starting the little spat in there. I didn't need to happen and it was just childish and I apologize."

"You know that it wasn't your fault he got angry, Kai," Shane reassured him. "It might have been something that you did in the past, but that's no reason to beat yourself up for a small confrontation. It happens, but you're okay."

Kai nodded, going back to picking at his food. Shane, exasperated, went back to eating, thinking about if and how this will blow over. He found himself looking at Kai over and over, making sure he was alright. It was always the same look painted on his face, no matter how many times he looked. Shane got up from the table, rousing Kai out of his trance as he walked towards the bathroom. Kai stood up and stopped him, wrapping his arms around the large wolf, "Do you like him?"

Shane looked down at him, wrapping his arms down around the small wolf, "Kai, look at me. He is a coworker, and I do not have feelings for him..."

Kai looked up at him, their eyes locked in an intense gaze as they both knew they were thinking of the same thing. They stood there, life moving around them while they were frozen, unsure of how to put into words their feelings for each other.

"Do..." Kai sighed trying to build his confidence up, "do you like-"

He was cut off by Shane's lips up against his, a soft moan coming from the small wolf. As soon as their lips were together, they were apart, and Shane could tell that Kai wasn't ready to be done. "Yes," Shane said under his breath. Their breathing was in sync as they looked into each other's eyes.

Shane made the first move, reaching up to help Kai slide his shirt off, gingerly rubbing up and down the small wolf's body as they did so. Kai was breathing faster and faster, something Shane attributed to nervousness due to his last moments with Shinobu. He pulled Kai close, attempting to calm him and keep him cool in the new situation. Kai tugged on Shane's shirt, trying to pull it up between them. Shane eventually helped, pulling the shirt off from over his head, tugging it when it got stuck at the end.

Kai reached forward as Shane was finishing up taking his shirt off, hearing the fabric flutter through the air as it traveled to the ground. His hands met the button of Shane's pants, tugging it around the knob to let them hang loose on his hips. Kai laughed under his breath, a quick pull from the knees bringing them down, and soon the large wolf's underwear followed suit, Shane's large, slowly erecting cock pointing right into his eyes. Kai was taken aback at first, not having imagined Shane as being as large as he was. Stillness hung in the air as neither of them knew where to take it, both more confident in their daydreams than they had imagined they would be when the moment came to fruition.

Shane bumped his hips forward a little, a soft chuckle following from below him as it had nudged Kai in the forehead. As he went to look down at the small wolf, he inhaled sharply, a new feeling coming from his groin. A slight pressure emerged as Kai wrapped his hand around the thick, veiny slab of wolf meat, his thumb not able to touch his middle finger even halfway up. He could see Shane's knot growing ever slowly, the movement of Kai's hands making it all but slower as he continued to fondle it in one hand, the other traveling underneath to massage the low hanging balls. A warmth emanated from Shane's crotch, Kai being able to feel it on his face as he took a testing lick at Shane. Feeling the body tense up at the touch told Kai many things, especially that it was working.

Kai leaned forward again, more confident in himself this time, tongue slowly reaching out from the soft mouth. Shane looked down, running a hand through the little wolf's hair as he placed his hand as an anchor point. He winced softly, expression turning very quickly into one of pleasure as Kai took the tip of him into his mouth, suckling on the hot rod, a quick little salty surprise hitting his tongue. Kai breathed deeply before venturing on, slipping a bit more of the cock into his mouth as he listened to the soft, almost inaudible whispers and groans coming from between Shane's lips. Kai moaned around the cock a few times, wondering what kind of effect it would have on the larger canine. Shane looked down slightly, rubbing Kai's head encouragingly in response to the sounds that he found oh so erotic. He watched Kai in the reflection of the TV in front of him, Kai's small, lithe body kneeling in front of Shane brought out something inside of him, a comfort in seeing Kai like that washed over him, a feeling of happiness and serenity, pleasure rocking him back and forth like a soft wave. That is, until Kai took a solid three more inches, swirling his tongue and suckling all the way down. Pleasure tsunami more like, Shane thought, mind racing as to what to do, almost losing his balance from the sudden movement.

Kai pulled himself off for a moment, taking a breather. He hadn't noticed how he wasn't taking full breaths, but considering he was almost nose deep in wolf crotch, it made sense. He noticed Shane had sat back onto the couch, legs spread wide which allowed Kai to crawl right back up, face in the lap of the larger canine as he suckled the cock right back into his hot, soft muzzle. Shane groaned, hands kneading behind Kai's ears egging him on down the man meat.

They were both super into it, Shane groaning and moaning, Kai sucking and licking. It seemed they were on cloud nine... until Kai jumped back clutching his throat.

"Shit! Kai are you okay?!" Shane almost leaped down to Kai, cradling him in his arms as the smaller wolf coughed harshly. As the coughing died down, Shane looked up with a weak smile, "I'm good, I'm good, I promise. You hit the back of my throat pretty hard is all." Kai leaned up and planted a kiss on the larger wolf's nose, hand reaching down to squeeze the hard cock teasingly. Kai went to bend down and wrap his mouth around the wet dick again before Shane pulled him back up, "Take a breather, Kai..."

Shane leaned back, pulling Kai into another kiss. This time though, they didn't stop, moans slipping out of the open areas in their interlocked lips. Shane blinked a couple times, expecting to snap out of some day dream.

Thankfully, nothing more happened. Shane looked at Kai as they kissed, closing his eyes again as he wrapped his arms snugly around the smaller wolf. Kai pressed back into the kiss, pushing Shane against the foot of the couch, pinning him in a lustful trap.

Shane reached down and noticed that Kai's shorts were still on. A thumb in the waistband and a little tug on the smaller wolf's waist was all it took before the two canine's cocks were lying against each other, the friction causing them both to groan loudly. Shane looked into Kai's eyes, and could tell Kai was thinking the same thing he was. He picked Kai up and laid him out on the couch, eyeing him hungrily as he kneeled over top of him. Shane placed a hand down right next to Kai's head, the other hand lining up their cocks as he ground down into the smaller canine. Kai's eyes rolled back in his head, reaching up to pull Shane down on top of him. He ground back against Shane, mindlessly pumping up and down as the pleasure started to overtake him. Shane reached down and caressed Kai's face, pulling him up a bit so they could lock lips again. At this point their cocks were grinding into the space between each other's groins, but the friction was doing just enough for them, the soft fur against them like a soft tickling, moving them closer and closer to peak arousal.

Shane pulled his face away from the kiss, leaning down to grasp Kai's shoulder in his teeth. Kai jumped initially but as he felt Shane's hot breath running over his back, he was all for it. Kai held the large wolf down on top of him, whispering into his ear, "I love the way you pin me down, laying on top of me and claiming me as your own, big boy."

Shane growled, grinding harder at the sound of Kai's approval. This didn't last that long though, Kai's soft pushing on Shane telling him he needed to back off. Shane leaned back up, still kneeling above Kai as the smaller wolf rolled over underneath him. Kai looked back over his shoulder, tail moving out of the way as he reached back to slap his ass, taunting Shane.

The large wolf clutched the ass between his legs, rubbing it and squeezing it as he whispered sweet nothings into Kai's ears. Shane's large, drooling cock hung between his legs, finding a resting spot on Kai's plush ass. He pushed back and forth, sliding the wet dick between the soft cheeks as he kept pressing further and further in, trying to reach the spot that he knew would drive Kai into a pleasure he had never experienced before. Shane spread the cheeks apart while massaging them, exposing the hole that so desperately needed to be filled. He rubbed the tip of his cock against it, smiling as he leaned forward, mouth right up in Kai's ear.

"You ready, Kai? I'm gonna take you somewhere you've only dreamed about..." Shane whispered.

Kai was already dreaming at this point but cloud nine, nirvana, valhalla, or whatever he decided to call it is where he was headed next. Kai moaned as he felt the pressure on his backside, wincing as he looked back to watch. With Shane being in the way, he couldn't see too much, but Shane reassured him and told him he'd take it as slow as Kai wanted at first. The small wolf exhaled contently, motioning for Shane to push on. This of course caused Kai to groan as his insides were slowly stretched out beyond their normal size. While all this was happening, Shane was struggling to hold his composure, not used to the virgin-like tightness of Kai. He moaned, groaning under his breath as he had to slow his breathing, needing to keep himself from going over the edge this early. He needed to drag this out for Kai, show him what they had both been dreaming of for such a long time.

Soon enough, Shane's knot was bumping the back end of Kai's ass, and Kai seemed to be lost in the waves of pleasure rolling over him with each thrust from the large canine cock. Kai was muttering something about balls deep, but Shane couldn't push in any further at that point; Kai wasn't loose enough. Shane bucked his hips back and forth, keeping them both sitting right at the edge, and he knew just what he had to do... maybe. It was something he had seen in a porn and even though he had read all the articles that said nothing in real sex is like porn, he knew that it was going to be the only way he got his knot in now while they were beyond the point of no return.

Shane reached around in front of Kai, slowly slipping his finger into Kai's mouth, which Kai instinctively suckled on once it was inside his mouth and sitting on top of his tongue. Shane thought to himself how much of a risk this was, basically asking for his finger to be bitten hard. When it seemed like Kai was entranced with the continuous motions, Shane growled loudly, slamming his knot inside of Kai.

Shane was howling almost immediately, balls bouncing as he shot load after hot sticky load inside of Kai's now-loose ass. Kai was on the end of a long moan, unable to make any other sounds with Shane's finger in his mouth, but there was nothing he could say about it. He could feel the hot cum sitting inside him, warming him up from the inside out as his inner walls were painted white. Shane's chest was heaving, breath not coming fast enough into his lungs, and with his mind swimming he couldn't do much else.

As a few moments passed, Shane noticed Kai was still on the edge, whipping his hand up and down his cock to try and climax and enjoy the moment with the man who had shown him what he was missing. Shane reached down and wrapped a hand around Kai's, helping him spill over, playfully howling along to Kai's melodic howls as Kai shot all over his stomach and all over the couch beneath them. They laid there, panting as they waited for Shane's knot to deflate a bit, his body still coursing with pleasure and erotic adrenaline.

"Shane," Kai managed to get out of his mouth, "Shane, thank you, s-so much. I di-didn't know I needed that... I thought I only wanted it... y'know what I-"

Shane shushed him, a soft, "I know what you mean, now just enjoy the moment with me..." following up.

The two of them sat there for a little bit, the only sounds filtering through the white noise of passion were their labored breaths, soft groans and winces as they pulled apart from each other. They looked at each other, the first time really seeing the other for the past twenty or thirty minutes. The wolves laughed, pulling close together again as they kissed in the wonderful afterglow. When they separated from each other, Kai nodded towards the bathroom with a little smile.

"Want to hop in the shower and clean up our mess?" There was a playful tone to Kai's voice, though he was visibly worn out from the rampant sex they had just finished up. He smacked Shane's butt lightly as he drew him into the bathroom, steam rolling out of the room as the shower heated up.

They both overestimated what taking a shower as a couple was like. In short, it took them an amazingly long amount of time to get clean. One got to stand in the water while the other felt like they were freezing to death, then they would switch and the other would finally get to warm up a little while the other got to lather up with soap and freeze, and back and forth multiple times until they were both clean. Of course, they had some fun with it, washing each other sensually and occasionally splashing the other with water to try and brighten the general mood in the bathroom. So it might not have been an overwhelming success on that front, but they had fun while they were at it, and someone walking down the street could have mistaken them for a couple that had been dating for a couple years. Neither kept an awkward distance from the other, they didn't censor themselves or watch what they said, and they just looked naturally happy together. Both Shane and Kai were extremely happy with how their evening had been going and it was to only get better from there.

They laid in bed together, Shane's arms wrapped around Kai's small waist, pulling him in close so they could spoon, cuddle, and fall asleep in pure bliss. For a while, they just sat there in silence, sometimes whispering little, "I love you"s and other sweet nothings into the other wolf's open ears. They would grind a few times, reminding themselves of the basically perfect night they had had, reminiscing about Kai being pounded into the couch and Kai sucking Shane's soul out through his dick. The sounds of traffic permeated the otherwise silent room, creating an urban noise machine, lulling them into a deep, pleasureful sleep.

Shane's eyes fluttered open, light streaming in through the dusty blinds in the bedroom. As the light dissipated, it cast a soft glow over Shane and the now empty spot where Kai was the dedicated little spoon for the night. He sat up and looked around, shocked and worried at first. Worried that nothing that had happened the day before was real and it was just a very vivid and spiteful dream from his subconscious reminding him of what couldn't happen.

As he looked around the room, he noticed a note hanging over the alarm clock. Reaching across the bed, the sheet of printer paper had been scrawled on quickly.

"Shane," it began, "I tried to wake you up this morning but all you gave me were grunts and half-assed swats at me for nudging you. By the time you wake up, I'll be at work. I'm still thinking about yesterday, and I just wanted to tell you that that had to be the best day of my life, and I have you to thank for it. I miss your adorable face and I can't wait to plant my lips on yours when I get home." Shane looked to the bottom of the page, where it read, "Love, Kai XOXOXO"

Shane chuckled, holding the note to his chest as he rolled back over. He laid staring at the ceiling for a little bit, thinking about yesterday. The thoughts must have been taking a detour through his dick because soon after he started thinking about it, he was hard as a rock. Shane stuck his hands into his boxers, dragging his hand up the lengthy shaft, but then he stopped himself. He wanted to save something for Kai for when he got home and jerking off right now wouldn't be too helpful for events in the near future.

There was a quick metallic ping! that rang through the air as Shane's breakfast toast sprung up from the toaster, the warm aroma of toasted bread filling his nostrils. Thinking about it that way made him chuckle as he reached for the butter... make that peanut butter because they were all out of the former when he looked into the fridge.

Walking into the living room, the only thing that could be heard over the morning programming was the muted smacking of Shane trying to get peanut butter off of the roof of his mouth. He basically was in this cycle for a while, all the way through his breakfast and even when he was getting dressed for his morning shift. It was only going to be his second day but he wasn't looking forward to it, knowing full well that Shinobu was working today. Yesterday afternoon didn't go over to well, and even the manager had taken notice of the spat. Mr. Barry had to talk with them about putting stuff like that aside in the workplace as it wasn't there for them to confront their feelings or to talk about things and sing "Kumbaya". Shane understood entirely, and he knew full well that Shinobu got the message, but he wasn't too sure that Shino was going to let up on the whole ex thing. He seemed a little more than pissed off that the man he had been flirting with and trying to get in with was dating his ex, and apparently something went down between the two that was enough to warrant Shino's actions the previous day.

As Shane walked down the street, he felt like people were staring at him more than they were the day before, as if they could have recognized him from what had happened. Shane didn't know if it was making rounds as a viral video and if it was he didn't know if he could do anything about it. This obviously didn't help much except to make Shane paranoid, and someone could have told straight away that the large wolf was very uncomfortable.

When he walked through the parking lot to the door, he noticed that Shinobu's car was there, something that he wished surprised him. Shane just sighed, pushing the glass doors in and walking through the restaurant to the kitchen. Something was off about the kitchen staff too, though. They were still friendly but they didn't seem as nice and hospitable as they did the day before.

Mr. Barry greeted him up front, "I hope you remember our talk from yesterday afternoon, Shane. It would be a shame to let you go on your second day, especially with the numbers you pulled through the line yesterday. We're going to be making a lot more money... just gotta wait a bit longer..." Although Shane wasn't oblivious, he could tell that that was good news to Barry. He probably has a wife and kids at home, the perfect nuclear family, always dealing with the most normal everyday things. Although they don't look like it , they know what they've come for and they're going to work just as hard as you and I to get to it. He also knew that his little daughter was going to be annoying other wise so he went ahead and got the thing she was always talking about. Or is that what Mr. Barry wanted, because Shane and well, everyone else knew that Mr. Barry slept in his mom's basement, and that this job at Pacific Rim was the only thing he did. Even on his day off, just waltzed on in, enjoying seeing the place busy compared to the run down pizza place that once stood there in all it's glory. There was nothing to go for Mr. Barry so a good restaurant staff was all he wanted.

Shinobu walked from behind Shane, coming out of the kitchen as he put his hair up in a bun, seeming just as cheery as he had been at the start of the day before. What they didn't know was that it was not lasting long.

Around the lunch rush, Shane noticed a familiar car pulling into the parking lot. Out came Kai, in his work uniform and all, seemingly oblivious to what had happened yesterday. Shane struggled to keep up with the orders as he watched Kai get closer and closer through the lines, moving off into Shino's line where they split. Shane was dumbfounded. Weren't these the two that were bickering the day before because of a messy breakup? Shane kept himself out of it, but he could hear that it wasn't going over too well. Shinobu scoffed at everything Kai said, repeating himself to waste the smaller wolf's time.

Shane had just turned his head when he heard a chorus of people gasping, turning his head to see what was the matter. Shino was walking back into the kitchen with a smug look on his face, cup in hand as he looked like he was leaving the restaurant. When he looked back over, Kai stood there, arms out to the sides as he was sopping wet, covered in what looked like water but in actuality was probably some kind of clear soda.

Shane stood in the bathroom, waiting for Kai to get out of the shower. When he finally did come out, the large wolf was waiting for him with open arms and a warm towel. They stood there in each other's embrace, Shane planting small kisses on the little wolf's forehead. He lifted Kai's chin up and looked in his eyes.

"I love you, Kai."

"I love you too, Shane."

They laid down into the bed, door closing behind them slowly.
