Most people never notice just how loud restaurants are. There's the sounds from the kitchen, the conversations of a dozen or so other parties, and inevitably a screaming kid or two. Then you've got the wait staff walking around taking orders, being peppy and friendly, music coming from the speakers, and maybe even sports commentary if you happen to be in a sports bar. Despite all the noise, most people do an excellent job of tuning it all out to focus on the people they're with.
For Kevin's part, a mariachi band could have been playing on the table and he probably wouldn't have noticed.
The fox had been nervous at the start of dinner when this date began, but had eventually warmed up and relaxed with a couple drinks and idle conversation. But, now that things were drawing to a close, he couldn't help but feel the knot in his stomach tightening.
It was Kevin's first date in over a year, but more interestingly, it was his first date with another guy. Ryan, the rabbit across from him, was in a similar boat. They had a few of the same classes together being on similar degree paths, and ended up working on a group project a few weeks back. After a bit of talking and hitting it off, the rabbit ended up asking him out on a date.
Kevin had said yes.
He'd never thought of himself as gay, but then he'd never given the matter much thought. He figured it wouldn't hurt to at least go out and see how things transpired.
Now the date was drawing to a close, and Kevin found himself wanting the evening to continue. He was looking for anything to possibly say when the rabbit took the initiative for him.
"So... do you want to maybe hang out a bit after we leave from here? I mean, it's still kind of early," the rabbit said, beaming brightly at the fox.
Kevin's cheeks turned pink under his bright, white fur and his ears perked up. "Oh? What, uh, did you have in mind?" he asked, that knot in his stomach returning in full force.
Ryan just laughed and raised his paws defensively, shaking his head. "Nono, I didn't mean like... that, I just meant like, maybe watch a movie? Play a game or something?"
"Oh, uh, yeah." Kevin laughed, feeling a bit stupid. "That sounds fun. My room or yours?"
"You're closer, right?" the rabbit asked.
Kevin nodded. "Yeah, I'm in Volker Hall," he said.
The rabbit nodded as well and intercepted the check as the waitress brought it by, putting his card in and handing it back before Kevin could protest. "Nuh uh, on me. And yeah, we can just walk there. I'm a few blocks over, so it's not too bad," he said.
The fox's eyes followed the waitress as she walked off with their check and he felt his face heat up again. "You didn't have to cover me. I could have," he said, smiling shyly.
"I wanted to," Ryan said, one of his large ears flopping to the side as he tilted his head. "Ready to go?" he asked, sliding out from the booth and offering a paw to the fox's.
Kevin's gaze flicked down to the rabbit's paw and he hesitated for a moment before allowing himself to be helped out of the bench seat.
They didn't hold hands on the way back to the apartment, for which Kevin was grateful for. He was curious about everything, but not yet ready for that kind of overt display just yet.
Kevin's room was on the top floor of the dormitory and looked out over one of the main courtyards between class buildings. It was only one room with an attached bathroom, and the fox made sure to keep it all in order. His bed was elevated in one corner with his desk beneath and a couch was stuffed into a corner with a TV and games against the wall.
Ryan whistled as he stepped into the room, walking over to the windows and peering out along the lighted courtyard. "Not bad. No roommate, either," he said, looking back at the fox.
"Not after last year," Kevin said, scrunching up his face in disgust. "Guy was a complete slob. Couldn't deal with it any more."
Ryan chuckled and flopped down on the couch, leaning his head back on the cushions so his oversized ears hung over the back. "I don't blame ya. Some of the guys in the house are kind of messy, but it's cheap, and I just stay in my room."
Kevin sat on the opposite edge of the couch, grabbing a game controller from the TV stand and turning everything on. "Cheap is good. I'm sure I'm going to be in debt for the rest of my life."
"And afterlife," Ryan added.
"Yeah, no shit," the fox chuckled.
"Well, enough about our impending bankruptcy." The rabbit leaned away from the arm of the couch and scooted closer to the fox. "Movie?"
Kevin's face heated up with the rabbit sitting next to him and he shifted on the cushion, looking up at the TV. "Uh, yeah, sure, what kind?"
The type of movie didn't seem to matter much in the end. After it had started Kevin had found himself pressed against the arm of the couch with the rabbit laying against his side to snuggle in close for the movie.
Ryan was not at all shy about personal space and Kevin was too polite to ask the rabbit to move. For the first half hour he'd kept his arm resting on the back of the couch, but eventually relaxed to the idea of having the warm body pressed against his side.
They'd shifted around during the movie and now the fox lay along the couch with his back to the cushions. His arm was draped over the rabbit's chest and both of Ryan's arms hugged it close as they watched. Or while the rabbit watched. Kevin's mind was everywhere except the TV.
He'd never been this close with anyone before, and even though he knew that the rabbit hadn't ever been with a guy, his experience with women seemed to put him well enough at ease. Kevin's mind raced with every possibility of what could happen between them.
It excited and frightened him at the same time, though his body only picked up on the excitement. The fox's face flushed as he tried to adjust his hips so he wasn't pressing his arousal against the rabbit's rear, but Ryan shifted and pressed himself firmly against the fox's hips.
Kevin's trapped member throbbed and he sucked in a breath through his nose, ears flattening against his head when the rabbit chuckled. "Sorry," he whispered.
The rabbit laughed again and wiggled his hips back against the fox's hips, drawing another throb through the denim. "Why sorry?"
"Um," Kevin said, shuddering at those wiggling hips in his lap. "I've just... never done anything, remember? I dunno about this all," he said, the movie on screen completely forgotten now.
Ryan shifted around and turned until his chest was pressed to the fox's, their hips together. The fox could feel the hard lump in the rabbit's jeans pressing against his own. "I've never done anything like this before. It's fine," he assured Kevin, smiling warmly. "We can take small steps, if you're okay with that."
Face to face like this, their noses were practically touching, and Kevin couldn't help but gaze shyly into those blue eyes. Ryan had milky, chocolate color to his fur with short, messy headfur.
"I," the fox began, swallowing nervously. Green eyes blinked a few times. "Small steps?" he said, smiling sheepishly.
Ryan's smile widened into an incorrigible grin and then that short, blunt muzzle pressed against the fox's longer, white one. Kevin sucked in a breath and his eyes went wide in surprise.
It had been quite a while since he'd kissed someone, and he'd have thought he'd forgotten how. A paw on his chest gripped at him through his shirt and the rabbit's slim tongue pressed to his lips. The fox's lips parted and he shuddered in enjoyment. It was relaxing being kissed and he hadn't realized how much he missed the feeling.
A paw slipped up under his shirt and through his fluffy white fur as their muzzles meshed together. Everywhere that paw roamed left the fox's skin tingling. His own, shaky paw fumbled with the rabbit's shirt before finally sliding up through the short, smooth fur.
Kevin felt the rabbit's chest rumble beneath his fingers as he traced upwards and the paw on his own chest dug claws against his skin, lightly clawing. Their hips ground together, need pressing against need through layers of fabric. Fingers traced down over Kevin's chest and suddenly those fingers were gripping him through his jeans.
He throbbed and his hips jerked against that paw, muzzle breaking the kiss as he let out a soft gasp of surprise. Ryan squeezed again and Kevin bucked against the paw, letting out a soft whine.
"You're making really cute noises," the rabbit whispered quietly, chuckling at the fox's predicament.
In quick order the fox's pants had been undone by confident fingers and his slick, pink length was pulled through the front of his boxers by those chocolate-brown fingers. Kevin's eyes were squeezed shut and his paws held onto the rabbit's chest, face red from embarrassment.
Ryan's muzzle pressed against Kevin's cheek, kissing him a couple times as the fox continued to make soft, pleasured sounds. "Are you okay?" Ryan asked, his fingers tracing over the rather thick length the fox was sporting.
Kevin tried to speak but his throat was dry and his tongue didn't seem to want to work. He just tightened his grip on the rabbit's chest and nodded quickly a few times, tail smacking against the couch cushions a couple times. His length was dripping over the rabbit's paw and he was throbbing every couple seconds as fingers explored him.
"Good... good, let me take care of you," the rabbit whispered, his ragged breath a clear tell that he was just as worked up as the virgin fox. He shifted around and undid his pants, commando beneath the denim. His own uncut length throbbed in the open air beside's the fox's and Ryan's paws wrapped around both of them, squeezing them together.
That made Kevin's eyes open in surprise and he looked down to see his canine length pressed against the rabbit's. Their cocks pulsed and drooled against each other, already making the cushion beneath them damp.
Kevin and Ryan both just watched as the rabbit's paws stroked back and forth over their shafts, fingers teasing across dripping heads as both of them shifted and humped against each other. It wasn't like when he was by himself, Kevin thought. He had no control over the rhythm, or where he was squeezed, or how fast it was. He could feel his peak rising much quicker than he was used to, but he couldn't have stopped the rabbit if he wanted to.
Ryan pressed his forehead to the fox's and they both stared down between their chests. His uncut length was a little longer than Kevin's, but that growing knot at the base made the fox's unquestionably thicker. Words and gentle teasings weren't needed anymore, and Ryan was too engrossed in their lewd act to speak anyway.
The fox's knot was fully engorged and he could feel his need building past his control. That familiar tickling sensation beneath his balls was traveling up his shaft and his toes curled and dug at the far arm of the couch. He squirmed and tried to pull his hips back, but with his back to the couch there wasn't anywhere for him to go. "I-I'm close," he croaked, barely able to speak.
"Same," the rabbit whispered, nuzzling at the fox's forehead a bit as he watched their cocks slide back and forth together. He tried to hold himself back, but hearing the fox's panting and knowing what was about to happen made that impossible.
The rabbit was the first to tip over the edge and he let out a heated cry as his cock throbbed against the fox's, pearly ropes of cum splashing out against Kevin's stomach, cock, and making quite a mess of the couch.
Kevin shuddered and gasped as he saw and felt cum splash against him. He bucked against the rabbit and his claws dug into Ryan's chest as he throbbed and came hard. It had been a couple days for him with a few projects keeping him busy and cum sprayed down over the rabbit's belly, messing his shirt and jeans, and leaving even more of a mess for him to clean up later.
The pair ground together, riding out their respective orgasms and watching as warm cum splashed against each other, soaking into fur, paws, and fabric. They were both breathing heavy by the time things wound down and Ryan slumped against the fox, cum smearing into them further.
Kevin released his death-grip on the rabbit's chest and took a deep breath before exhaling shakily. "W-wow..."
"Yeah," Ryan said, closing his eyes and grinning. "Man, I've always wanted to do that with another guy..."
"Sorry," the fox said, ears flicking back shyly as he shifted around against the wet cushions.
Ryan pulled his head back to look at the fox, frowning. "Sorry? What for?"
"For..." he shrugged, looking away. "Not doing anything in return."
"Small steps," Ryan said, kissing Kevin's nose. "I had a great time. And... if you're interested, maybe... a second date?"
Kevin's ears perked up at that and he beamed brightly. "Oh! Of course! And... I promise to return the favor next time," he said, cheeks a little rosy at his enthusiasm.
"It's a date," Ryan replied.
