Second Chances - Chapter 3
#3 of Second Chances
The morning after can be a little awkward, but good things are about to happen.
My eyes slowly peeled open to the warm sunshine pouring into my room. I couldn't feel my arm. I tugged on it, turned my head, and realized it was still under Darrick.
The sensation of my full bladder suddenly hit me hard, and I realized that I had a raging erection desperately trying to escape from my pajama pants.
'Well, this is awkward,' I said to myself as I gently tried to pull my arm from under him. 'I thought deer were supposed to be light and graceful.'
I got my elbow free, and was almost to my wrist when Darrick turned his head towards me, rubbing his eyes.
"Morning," he yawned.
I yanked my paw free and started flexing it. "Morning."
Just as the stabbing sensation flooded my arm, I noticed him looking at the tent in my pajama bottoms.
"Oh, uh..." I said, trying to cover up with the sheets. "It's not what you think. I just have to pee."
"Oh," he said, biting his lip and looking away.
Memories of the night before began flashing in my head. "But, I mean, it doesn't have to be just that." He looked up at me. "I'm sure you've given me lots of boners. Just this time, it's pee." God, I sounded dumb. From the look on Derricks face, I think he agreed.
"Can..." he said, looking apprehensive. "Can I see it?" His brown eyes watched my face for my reaction.
"I, uh, really have to pee." I slid out of the bed, and bolted for the door, shutting it behind me.
Woah. This was happening a little fast. I needed to think. I went into the bathroom, pulled my shorts down and tried to wrangle my morning wood enough to aim into the toilet. Does he really want to see it so badly? What's so great about a dick? I mean, I really like mine, but it's the only one I have. What does his look like? Are deer dicks weird looking? They never covered that in health class....
I snapped back into reality, holding my softening dick in my paw. I packed it away back in my shorts, and washed my paws. I looked rested in the mirror. I had slept well, despite almost losing an arm.
I quietly slipped back into the room. Darrick was still sitting in bed, looking at something on his phone. He looked up at me. It was quiet.
"So..." I said, still standing by the door. I didn't have anything to follow it up with.
Darrick shifted uncomfortably.
I opened my mouth to say something, but just closed it again and walked over to my side of the bed and sat down.
"This is awkward." I said, smoothing out a fold in the sheet.
"Yeah."
"Do you want to talk now or la-"
"Did you mean it?" I looked over at the deer, his eyes studying my face again.
"Well...." I broke eye contact and rubbed my neck. "It's complicated."
"So, no." I felt the chill on that one.
"No, not no." I looked back at him. His head was turned down. He looked like he might cry again. "I don't know. You're kind of putting me on the spot here."
He fidgeted with his phone. I rolled my eyes.
"Look," I said, scooting over to him. "I'm your best friend, right?" He nodded. "And best friends love each other, right?" He nodded again. "So, I know that I love you. I just am not as sure about the rest of it."
"Please don't tell anyone I'm gay." His thumb hoof gently scratched at the side of his phone.
"What?" I could see he was crying now. "I won't. I wouldn't."
He looked into my eyes. "You're not gay, are you?"
"No." I could see his eyes dim a bit. "I don't think I am."
"So, I should probably go," he said, sliding out of bed.
I grabbed his hand. He stopped. "Would you just let me figure this out? Look..." I said, my voice lowering to a whisper. "I've looked at it a few times online, ok?"
He turned his head.
"It did the same thing for me as girl stuff. I don't know what that means, but it is what it is. I'll keep your secret, and you'll keep mine, alright?"
His face had a big smile on it. It was nice to see him happy.
I felt a hand push on my chest, and I fell back down onto the bed. A wet nose pressed against mine, and a pair of lips quickly followed. I tried to struggle away as I watched the deer move over me. His breath was heavy and warm on my muzzle. His lips were surprisingly soft. I quit trying to pull away. I felt his legs straddle me. His hands slid across my chest. The weight of him on top of me felt kind of nice as I felt a hand slip under my shirt. It tickled as his finger combed through my fur. His breath got heavier as his kissing moved down to my cheek, and then my neck. My entire body tingled as he pressed his lips against my shoulder. I felt a hand slide down over the front of my pants.
"NOPE!" I yelled, scrambling to slide from under him, almost falling off the bed. "No, no, sorry. Nope." I jumped out of the bed and looked at the confused deer.
Darrick looked hurt.
"It's not that..." I said. "It's just... too fast, you know? It's hard for me to go from you being my best friend to my boyfriend in less than a day."
"Boyfriend?" He perked up.
"Well, yeah, I guess. Is that ok?"
His smile was bigger than his face. It made me smile too.
"Let's just keep this," I said, motioning around my junk, "for a little, later ok?"
I am not sure if he heard me or not. I don't think I had seen him so happy before. He was just floating in his own little world. He barely even noticed when I sat back down with him on the bed.
After a minute of sitting awkwardly next to him, I waved my paw in front of his face. He looked at me.
"Sorry."
I laughed. "It's ok." I leaned back against my headboard. He pulled up next to me. I felt a hand slide into my paw. "So, you were just going to start plowing me right then and there, huh?" I teased him.
"Well... Maybe."
"Does that mean I'm the bottom?" I laughed.
He looked at me. "What does that mean?"
"Oh, uhh, well, from the little that I've seen, there are two guys, and one is the top," I said, sticking out my pointer finger. "And one is the bottom." I made an 'O' with my fist, and stuck my finger in it.
"Oh. Well, yeah, if that's what you want." He shifted uncomfortably again and pulled a sheet up over his crotch.
"Well, I've never tried it." It was a little fun teasing the poor deer.
"Do you think you'd like it?" he nervously asked, gripping the sheet in his hand a little harder.
"You pounding my ass?" I smirked. "Maybe."
He must have had a full blown boner by that point. I must admit, my curiosity had been fully piqued as to what it looked like by that point as well.
"Have..." he cleared his throat. "Have you ever done anything before?"
"Well, not really. I did kinda try to mess around with a bat once. A girl bat," I specified. "But it never really went anywhere."
"A bat?"
"Well, I, uh, heard that bats are good at sucking." I chuckled nervously.
Darrick gave a nervous smile full of secret judgment.
"Hey, I was like 13." I pushed him away playfully. "I barely knew how to work my paw at that point. What about you?"
Darrick shook his head. "I really only hung out with my sister growing up."
"Yeah, that would be a little messed up."
"But I did once find a magazine with guys in it. Naked ones."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. Just one of those old nature ones about tribes who don't wear clothes. I used to keep it under my mattress. It disappeared one day. I never told anyone about it, so I don't know who found it."
"That must have been scary."
"Yeah, I didn't sleep for like a week."
"What is your family like?" I asked, realizing that we'd been friends for half a year and I had never heard him talk about any of his family members.
"They're ok."
"That's it?" I raised an eyebrow to the deer.
"Well... yeah." He squirmed a bit in discomfort. "I mean. They're not very interesting. Or, at least not to me. When you're home schooled you-"
"You were homeschooled?"
"Yeah."
"How come you never told me? What was that like? Why are you in high school now? How come you don't have a bowl cut?"
Darrick scratched his arm nervously. "I... uh..."
"Sorry. I'm prying." I backed off a little. "You just never talk about any of that stuff. What else do I not know about you?"
"Well, probably a lot."
"Like...?"
"Ummm. I..."
I could see Darrick's discomfort growing. He was practically shaving his forearm with how hard he was scratching. I put my paw around his hand. "You don't need to tell me now. We're learning a lot about each other today."
Darrick seemed relieved that I let him off the hook... for now at least. I heard his stomach grumble.
"Food?" I asked.
He smiled.
