The sounds of sneakers squeaking along the hard wooden floor of the gymnasium reverberated across the empty space as the Vespin Centurions did their evening training. Coach Night watched each and every single one of his young men run back and forth the hard court, doing their best to prepare for the big game that was coming in a just a couple of weeks. The tiger had been non stop in his training regime. It was obvious to anyone how important this game was. The Purreeys Basketball cup was any high school varsity players dream of winning. Getting the coveted golden basketball trophy would ensure you a ticket straight to a college of your choosing, courtesy of the scholarship.

The tiger watched as one of his star athletes, a stag by the name of Dominic take a shot way back behind the three point line. The red basketball flew through the air and hit the backboard, completely missing the ring. One of his teammates thankfully managed to catch the rebound however, and send it back down the hoop with a strong dunk. The play continued, and Dominic went on his way. The young man and Night briefly made eye contact as they passed each other on the court. For a split second, he could see a flash of apology in the stag's face before he zipped by him.

Night looked down and scribbled a note on his clipboard. The tiger was unhappy with the buck's performance as of late. Shots like that were normally a piece of cake for the young deer. Night had even seen him do four triple pointers back to back, which resulted to saving their team from elimination a few weeks ago. But lately, the young buck seemed to be losing his edge. Dominic was missing shot after shot, and although he could still carry his weight on the team, it was obvious that something was disrupting the deer's focus. It was something he needed to attend to as a coach if he ever wanted to make sure they were going to win.

And so, when the training session ended and the team began to do their stretches to help them relax after a tiring routine, Night walked over to Dominic who was seated on one of the bleachers. "Dom?"

The buck sighed, looking down on the floor. He grabbed hold of his towel and wiped his face off it. Night sensed that he wasn't really keen on talking. But this problem was becoming more and more apparent, so he had to step in. "Yes, Coach?" Dominic replied, asking the question, although already knowing what Night wanted to talk to him about.

"Can I have a minute with you? I'd like to talk to you about your plays as of late."

Night could feel the rest of the squad looking at the two of them, but none stepped in. Most of them had already voiced their concerns for their fellow teammate in their own time to Night, a fact that the tiger took to heart. Everyone knew what was on the line, and they were all worried that Dominic was going to bring them all down. It was a group effort after all. "Sure, Coach," Dominic answered, standing up.

The two then headed off to the back of the gym, entering the tiger's office. Dominic seated himself on one of the empty plastic chairs in front of Night's desk. Night gently closed the door behind him, giving them the privacy that they needed. The tiger looked at the young buck as he sat there, deep in thought. A few bullets of sweat still dripped down Dominic's handsome face as he wiped them off with his towel.

He slouched on the chair, making his jersey cling to his body like a form fitting suit. It left little to the imagination, perfectly showing of his fat free stomach and strong physique. It was the product of countless hours spent on the gym and the tough training Night had put them through in order to achieve peak physical health. Night had to admit, it was tough to keep looking at them after each and every session they spent with one another. Seeing their young bodies day in and day out parading in front of him drove raunchy thoughts that the tiger did his best to keep at bay. He knew in himself that it wasn't good to indulge in those thoughts but it was proving far too hard to do so when the mere sight of them always left him stiff and erect.

He cleared his throat, to help him break the silence as well as stop his mind from wandering too much again. They were here to discuss something important, he told himself.

"Dominic," he began as he walked around the buck and seated himself at his own chair. "What seems to be the problem?"

"What do you mean, Coach?" Dominic asked, although Night knew they both knew what they were here for.

"Your performance," Night started, placing the clipboard he was carrying earlier on the desk. "Has been lacking. You're missing shots that you wouldn't miss at all. Your practice matches with your teammates always seem to show you having trouble moving with them as a team." Night looked at buck seriously who shied away in his seat and relegated himself to looking at the wooden desk in front of him instead. "At first I thought it was a one time thing, just a fluke, just one of those days...and yet..." Night sighed, remembering another offense that the deer had committed over the past few weeks. "You've been showing up late for practice. You seem..." Night tried to look for the right word to use. "Distracted. Is everything alright?"

The young buck sighed before looking up at him to answer. "No, Coach. I'm sorry."

"'Sorry' isn't going to win us the Cup, Dom. What's the matter?" Night placed his hands on the desk and clasped them together. Part of being a good coach was being there for the team. It was his job to make sure they were ready for the challenges they were going to face, even if those challenges weren't the physical sort. The fact that his players were eye candy to him made it all the more appealing.

"It's a personal thing..."

"What thing?" Night had to be patient. From the way Dominic was fidgeting, it was obviously a touchy topic for him. "What's the matter? Is everything alright with you?"

Dominic struggled to find the right words, before breaking eye contact from the tiger. He then sighed once more, mumbling the words. "Gary and I had a fight and..."

Night didn't need to hear the rest of the sentence to understand completely what was going on. "Ah..." he said, trying his best to come across as gentle to the emotional deer. "Did you two break up or...?"

"I had to breakup with him because I caught him cheating on me." Dominic cupped his face on both of his palms, trying to get a grip on himself. "We were dating for 10 months now...!"

Night bit his lips, thinking of the best way to approach this situation. An emotional player right before a big game is the last thing he needed. "I'm...sorry to hear that, Dom." Night reached over and grabbed a pen, before proceeding to gently tap it on the table. "Are you going to be alright?"

"I...I don't know, Coach." Dominic leaned back on his seat, the fire in his eyes clearly been doused by the emotional tragedy he was going through. "I'm sorry. I promise you, I'll get better."

"I can see that," Night said, still thinking of what to do with the young buck. "You're a key player in this team, Dom. I can't have you falling apart out there. You need to get your head in the game." The large tiger rested his back, the chair giving out a creak as it tried to contain his weight. "Your teammates are even worried about you." Night paused then thought to himself before adding, "I'm worried about you." Truth be told, Night did feel a connection with the young man and seeing him so distraught hurt him on a personal level. Being a coach, it's hard to not get attached to people that you train and support throughout the duration of the entire season. Night did had to stop his attachment from going beyond what was considered normal, but there was a part of him that wanted to reach over and give the young man a hug. To see that beautiful face be ridden of its smile, it was sad.

There was a short silence between the two as they were both consumed in deep thought. Night looked towards the distraught buck and he felt drawn to him. His boys were his own and he wanted them to feel loved and appreciated. He felt a shiver go down his spine as he heard a tiny voice whisper in his ear an act he could do to help Dominic get his mind off of his breakup. It sent a tingle down his loins.

"Tell you what," Night said, the idea solidifying itself and taking root. "Why don't you go take a shower for now? Let yourself cool off."

It was a bad idea. A terrible idea.

"Okay, Coach. Thanks for talking with me." The stag stood up and nodded to him out of respect. "I promise you, I'll get better. I won't let you down." Night watched him walk out of the room, his eyes trailing over the young athlete's body. Dominic's gym shorts clung to his waist so perfectly, giving him a wonderful view of the stag's ass.

It's definitely a bad idea, Night thought to himself. But he was willing to do what he needed to do, to help his players know what really matters. They were, after all, his boys.

The sound of rushing water filled the showers in the gymnasium as Dominic began to rinse off the sweat that had dried on his skin. All of his teammates already left for the evening, leaving him and the coach all alone together. The buck stood underneath the running water, letting his muscles relax. Dominic took deep breaths, letting his mind empty as he focused on nothing but his own thoughts. Much like the water going down the drain, he tried to forget all his problems and focus on what was important. The Purreeys Cup...the scholarship that followed after...his family... The image of his tiger coach entered the fray of his mind. He didn't want to disappoint him of all people. He was the one that stood by him the most especially on the day that he came out. Everyone was surprised when he outed himself, and he felt alienated. The only person that didn't treat him differently right off the bat was Night alone.

The next thought that came was of his boyfriend cheating on him and he felt a pang of anger, frustration and jealousy all at the same time course through him. His legs buckled slightly and he ended up leaning on the walls of the bathroom as he tried to push the memory out of his mind. It was already gone and there was no point stressing over it.

Dominic was so enwrapped in his own thoughts that he didn't notice another person enter the showers. He felt a presence standing behind him, prompting him to turn around.

"C-Coach?"

What struck Dominic the most wasn't the fact that his coach was there in the showers with him. But rather, the fact that his coach was there in the shower with him naked. The large tiger stood proudly in front of him, his whole body on full display. Dominic had never seen the tiger nude before mainly because opportunities were never there, but seeing him now right in front of him, the stag's eyes felt overwhelmed. Coach Night towered over him for a fair amount, making his eye contact leveled completely with the feline's broad shoulders. Although old enough to be his father, Night clearly didn't miss a day in the gym. His body showed no signs of age, his belly free from fat and showcased a perfect six pack of abs that put Dominic's own to shame.

The buck felt his heart skip a beat when his eyes dared to trail downward and saw the feline's member hanging freely between his legs. It was only out of respect to not turn his stare into an ogle that his head snapped back up and he saw Night smiling mischievously at him. Dominic swallowed heavily, feeling a shortness in his breaths.

"Um...uh....did you...need something?" He barely managed to get his own words out as the sudden turn of events derailed his mind entirely.

"Not really," Night answered, looking at him. "But I was thinking that maybe you did."

"What do you mean, Coach?"

Night bit his lip, torn at what he was about to do. There was a storm of conflict brewing inside his head but at the current moment, nothing mattered except him and his boy. He'd worry about the consequences later. "I know that you're going through a tough time right now and..." Night paused, thinking of the right words to say. He formulate a small speech earlier in an effort to make things more natural, but he ended up forgetting almost all of it. In the end, he decided to just jump right in. "Ah, fuck it." The tiger stepped forward, prompting Dominic to have his back on the wall.

"C-Coach, what are you--"

The young buck's words were cut off as his lips met with the tiger's. It lasted for what seemed like an eternity to Night. He was surprised to find no resistance from Dominic, and he felt the deer kissing him back. Or was he just imagining it? He wasn't sure. He himself was going through the rush of the act and was having trouble thinking it all through. By the time he broke the kiss, he was actually a bit out of breath. Although the water that flowed from the shower was cold, Night's cheeks were burning up.

Silence was what came after. Dominic stood frozen, a look of confusion, surprise and a hint of excitement etched onto his face. A rush of thoughts came one after the other in Night's minds, all of which berating him of how stupid he was to really go through with this idea. "I..." Night struggled, his mind still reeling from the adrenaline. He averted his gaze, unable to look at Dominic. "I just...I wanted you to..." He then stopped when he felt both of his cheeks get grabbed and he found himself kissing Dominic once more, except this time, there was power behind Dominic's heated kiss.

There was a feeling of hunger behind it, one that Night knew all too well. And he was one to always deliver.

The tiger returned the kiss, reaching his arms around the younger male and pulling him closer towards him. Hands began to roam around and Night was surprised to feel a curious hand drift towards his lower half, gently squeezing his rump. He didn't stop however and let the stag do as he wished, kissing him back with more fervor. Water doused their hot bodies that pressed closely together but did little to quell the fires of passion that began to burn brightly between them. Night's inhibitions melted by the second and when he lowered his hands to squeeze Dominic's ass, nothing mattered anymore but burying himself deep into that hole.

The two made out for what seemed like an hour because by the time they broke free from one another, they were both out of breath and gasping for air. Night looked into Dominic's eyes and for a split second Night could see the hesitation. Night smiled warmly at him, and leaned in to give Dominic a tender lick underneath his chin. Whatever qualms the stag had, was soon forgotten as the stag released a throaty moan, almost falling into his arms for support as his own legs buckled under his feet.

Night laughed lightly, catching the young buck and holding him closely to his. The tiger himself let loose a throaty purr as his now stiff and erect cock got squeezed in between him and the buck. Dominic grinded himself against him, prompting Night's member to spurt a healthy amount of pre onto their slick chest. The water that cascaded from the shower easily washed it away, but that didn't stop Dominic from doing it again. The stag pulled back slightly and took hold of his stiff cock and frotted it against his coach. His member paled in comparison to the tiger's, and that's saying something since Dominic himself took pride in the fact that he was a well endowed young man, even for a stag.

Night looked down at his companion and he pressed a gentle hand on the stag's cheeks. The two locked eyes and it was as if a silent agreement between them was being told. "Are you sure?" Night mouthed to him, a sound not escaping his lips. The last thing he wanted was for Dominic to think that he was forcing himself on him. He wanted the stag to know that there was a choice. Dominic thought for a split second then nodded enthusiastically. He then reached up and pulled the tiger once more to give him a tender kiss on the lips.

That was all Night needed to see to finally let himself go. This time, the kiss wasn't that of a mad rush fueled by the sudden explosion of lust, but rather, a slow sensual one. A kiss that was shared between two people who offered themselves to one another. Night's hands caressed the body of the youth before him, slowly trailing downwards before snaking lower down to Dominic rump. With one quick move, he picked the stag up effortlessly, surprising Dominic at the sudden act. Night didn't miss a beat and moved forward, supporting the stag's weight with his hands as he propped Dominic up on the wall. The stag clung to him before doubling on his efforts in trying to kiss his coach. Down below, Night's stiff and erect cock gently prodded the stag's behind, wanting desperately to bury itself in him.

Night broke the kiss and looked at Dominic once more. "You ready?" He extended out a hand and turned off the shower for now, making the entire showers completely quiet, saved for their own ragged breathing.

Dominic took a deep breath and nodded, hanging onto Night in preparation for what was to come. Night gently lowered the stag and he began to prod Dominic's waiting hole. It took a few moments, but eventually, the buck's entrance began to part and welcomed Night's stiff pole. Dominic closed his eyes in an effort to focus on quelling the pain. His grip on Night's back tightened and his nails threatened to dig on the tiger's broad back. It was big, bigger than anything he had ever taken before. The tiger was probably bigger than any of the toys he'd used. His ass spread wide, taking in more and more of the feline's cock, wanting every inch of it for himself. A groan of pleasure escaped from his lips as it sent an electrifying shock throughout his body.

Night bit his lip. Dominic's ass had a tight vice like grip on him that struggled to part as he buried himself deeper. Every fiber in his body told him to just ram his cock straight into the hole but he knew in doing so would hurt the young buck. His sheer willpower and restraint was the only thing holding him back from making Dominic unable to walk for a few days. Slowly, but surely, Dominic's rump spread itself further and further to accommodate the pole he was trying to shove into him. Night whispered sweet nothings into Dominic's ear, telling him how great he was doing. The stag just closed his eyes and whimpered with each inch that his behind swallowed. Inevitably, Night managed to hilt himself fully, the stag fully impaled on his cock. The two used this time to take a break, both equally out of breath.

Being hilted so deep and connected, Night's and Dominic's heart beat as one as they shared this passionate encounter with one another. The young buck rested his head on the tiger's chest, his cheeks already flushed from anticipation of what was to come right after. Night grunted slightly as he began to start his thrust. He retracted his cock from within Dominic's constrictive confines, a wave of pleasure attacking his senses as the stag's walls clung onto his member desperately. Dominic mewled submissively, the sudden sensation of emptiness leaving his rump agape and open.

Night then continued his thrusts, doing his best to form a rhythm. It was hard at first, given that Dominic's ass wasn't used to taking something as huge as him. It actually concerned him a little seeing as that the tiger might have spoiled the young buck on anal sex entirely seeing as he may never meet anyone as big as him ever again. Regardless, he was glad to see that although there was little prep--no lube whatsoever--the amount of precum Night produced was enough to slick up Dominic's ass to make the act still doable. The tiger smiled, hearing the silent yips and groans Dominic voiced into his ear with each thrust. He was glad that his boy was enjoying it.

It didn't take long for the rhythm to form fully and Night's ower lower half was moving back and forth in a uniform manner. The sound of skin on skin slapping against each other echoed inside the empty showers. Dominic's quiet moans soon became more audible as he was unable to hold himself back anymore. Night was hitting his prostate perfectly without even trying. The stag could see stars after each thrust his coach took and a shiver course his spine right afterwards. His mind briefly flashed back to the days when he and his boyfriend were still fucking each other. This. The way Night was fucking him? It was unlike anything he had ever felt before.

Night growled, the sensations getting the better of him. He had honestly been taking it slow as he was worried about Dominic's well being, but as the stag continued to bounce on his stiff pole, he wanted more. The admittedly slow and sensual fucking they had going at the moment wasn't enough to sate his more carnal desires. He wanted to bury himself further, deeper into this tight ass right here right now.

"Coach..." Dominic managed to say out in between each thrust. His voice sounded strain and it was a struggle to string words coherently. "I can take it," he whispered into Night's ears, as if hearing the mental dilemma Night was going through. "I want you to really fuck me."

Night stopped his thrusts, hilting himself at that moment. He glanced back to see Dominic looking at him determinedly. The stag's face was blushing a crimson red, and a bead of sweat coincidentally dropped at the side of Dominic's forehead. It took a few moments but eventually the tiger nodded. He lowered his hands and supported Dominic as he walked off and carried him to one of the wooden benches. Much to Dominic's surprise, there was already a towel laid out for him. He glanced at Night who just smiled sheepishly back. He reached up and kissed him on the nose. "You slimy fucker."

"I do what I have to do to keep my boys happy," Night replied, laying Dominic flat on his back and climbing ontop of him. "Now...where were we...?" Using his new found leverage, the tiger continued his thrusts once again, building up the momentum he lost earlier. Dominic slung his foot over the tiger's shoulders for support, getting pressed onto the ground with each and every titantic thrust the tiger took. He cried out in pleasure as his own erect member stiffened before releasing a healthy amount of pre onto his chest, matting up his fur completely.

It didn't take long for Night to fall into another rhythm, one that was moreso rougher than sensual compared to what it was before. Not that Dominic was complaining however. The view of his coach just standing over and taking his ass like Night owned him was more than enough to drive him Dominic. The fantasy that he elaborated in his mind only served to make the experience more thrilling. Each thrust produced an audible slap followed by a lewd slick that was only more accentuated by the two lover's gasps and moans. Skin on skin crashed into one another, and the noise reverberated across the empty showers. Night grunted, his climax building inside him. His ball churned, slapping against Dominic's rump, eager to have their contents spilled. The feline doubled his efforts, his hesitation on getting rougher with the young buck completely falling to the wayside. The bench creaked underneath his powerful thrust, threatening to break underneath the both of them. It was honestly a miracle it managed to support the both of them.

Underneath him, Dominic was lost in a sea of pleasure. His eyes rolled to the back of his skull and his tongue lolled to the side, utterly at the mercy of his older partner. His cock was leaking pre copiously and it didn't take long for him to lose control. He cried out, releasing a long drawn out groan as his cock throbbed before spurting streaks of white cum down on him. The first shot hit him squarely in the face, and the remaining ones landed next to him, the other landing on the floor, while some dribbled down his chest. The resulting climax forced his bum to clamp tightly around Night's pistoning cock, squeezing it like a vice grip. It clung onto the feline's member, desperately wanting to have it stay in place.

Night roared out loudly, performing one last buck, before hilting himself deep into Dominic's now battered and heavily used ass. The tiger's own cock began to spill its hot contents, squirting ropes upon ropes of white seed into Dominic. Some began to leak out at the sides, the sheer volume being unable to be contained. Night's climax lasted for a whole minute or so, before his cock completely stopped throbbing.

The two lovers took a moment to gather themselves, trying to catch their breath.

Night was the first to move, slowly easing himself out. A quiet moan escaped his lips as Dominic's hole still desperately clung to his member in a last frustrated attempt to keep him there. The tiger's succeeded in removing himself, and gently lowering Dominic's legs onto the wooden bench. He walked over to the side and sat himself beside the young stag, Night's cock still dripping bits of cum onto the floor.

"Dom...You...okay?"

He looked down onto the deer who had his eyes closed. The young player was still doing his best to regain his strength.

"Yeah, Coach..." Dom's reply was weak, but a smile began to form on his lips as he opened his eyes. "I'm okay."

Night relaxed on the bench, his heart still beating on his chest. He was still coming down from his sexual high, and it wouldn't be for a few hours till he could fully thing straight. "Sorry about that," he said in between pants. "I kind of gotten carried away."

Dominic laugh beside him, his entire frame shaking. It was a genuine gentle laugh. Night turned to look at him and he could see Dominic smiling up at him. "I loved it, Coach. You were amazing." A grin then crossed his face and he said, "When can you fuck me again?"

Now it was Night's turn to laugh back. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves, alright?" He placed his hands on the bench for support. Dominic slowly sat upright beside him, cum still leaking from his hole. He had to angle his seating correctly, as a numbing sensation began to pulse from his backside when seated incorrectly. "Ow..." He reached over and did his best to massage his battered bum. "I'm going to need ice for this."

"Yeah...Sorry."

Dominic waved a dismissive hand at him. "It's fine, Coach, really." The stag reached towards Night's chin and directed him to face him. He then leaned in to give the tiger a tender kiss on the lips. He eventually broke the kiss, whispering, "It's fine."

A flash of worry crossed Night's face, but he eventually shrugged and smiled warmly at the young boy. "So," he said, looking at Dominic. "Feel better?"

The sound of the crowd shouting filled the entire auditorium. Everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs, desperately trying to give their full support to their respective teams.

"Ladies and gentlemen if you're just tuning in, you're watching the Vespin Centurions fight against the Jastalarian Knights for the shot at getting the Purreeys Basketball Cup. We're now in overtime mode and it's down to the wire. With only 30 seconds left on the clock, and the Jastalarians having a two point lead, will the Vespins clutch it out?!"

Night stood by the team's bench, right next to his other players who were cheering as loudly as they could. The tiger watched with contained nervousness as his team did their best to get past the blockade the Jastalarians had put up. Their defense were impeccable and even this late in the game, it was still tough to find a crack in their armor. He was proud to see his team still giving it their all, the fire and determination behind their moves in full force as they passed the ball and moved in unison, slowly but surely moving forward.

There!

Night nearly jumped out of excitement as one of their forwards managed to break through two heavy defenders and made a break towards the ring. It seemed like the entire momentum of the fight shifted. The booming voice of the crowd seemed to grow louder. Night's eyes flickered to the time. 15 seconds left. They needed to get this shot and they needed to get it now!

But the success was short lived as the forward was forced to stop as he was blocked by the two other Jastalarians. His eyes flickered back to the clock. 13 seconds and counting downwards fast. The pressure was on. The basketball player looked around frantically for anyone who could get a shot. At the corner of his eye he could see Dominic waving at him. He was standing behind the three point line. If they were going to take the shot, it had to be him. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball bounced on the ground and travelled towards the buck who grabbed it like his life depended on it.

Dominic held the ball in his hands and it was as if time slowed to a crawl. The stag took deep breathes and gauge the distance he was from. He needed to make this shot. The entire team was counting on him. He turned his head briefly and he could see Coach Night shouting at him. He smiled.

He couldn't let Coach Night down. Not by a longshot.

The stag jumped and was airborne. The ball travelled through the air and everyone watched with bated breath. The ball bounced on the rim of the ring and everyone collectively bit their lip. Night followed the ball with his eyes as it bounced, seemingly teasing them of victory. It bumped against the backboard before falling through the net completely.

The cheers came a few seconds later.

"THE VESPINS WIN!!!"

It all became a blur after that. The crowd rushed the court and everyone was shouting out Dominic's name for getting the game winning shot into the ring. Night stood by the bench, feeling proud that he led this batch of young men to victory. What soon followed after was the awarding session. The Vespins managed to win the Purreeys Basketball Cup, and while the Jastalarians were sad at losing, they were still a good sport till the very end as both teams shook hands in a display of camaraderie.

It was hours later with Night fixing some things inside his office, when someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The door swung open and in came Dominic. "There you are, Coach! I was looking all over for you!"

Night turned around to see Dominic walking up to him, a smile on his face. "What are you still doing here? I thought you left already."

"My family's throwing a victory party and the whole team's invited." He gently poked Night in the stomach. "That includes you, Coach. My parents actually wanted to thank you for being a great mentor for us."

The tiger sighed and scratched the back of his head. "Alright, fine. Let me just grab my bag and we can go." Night moved to back and grabbed his backup and slung it on his back and made his way to the door, where Dominic stood waiting for him. But before he could open it, Dominic took hold of his hand.

"Dom?" Night turned to look at the stag who was looking at him sincerely.

"I wanted to thank you," his voice was low and had serious tone behind it. The buck didn't break eye contact with him.

The tiger looked back at him. "You don't have to thank me. It's my job to keep you guys in line and make sure you're not distracted before a big game." A smile curved at the corner of the stag's lips as the meaning behind the feline's words sunk. "And I do whatever is necessary," Night continued.

Dominic nodded, and let go of Night's hand. He then reached towards the door and held the doorknob. "So...after the party...you doing anything afterward?" Dominic glanced at him at the corner of his eyes.

Night's brows furrowed, and it took him a moment to realize what the young buck was implying. A light chuckle escaped his lips.

Maybe it wasn't a terrible idea after all.
