The main room of thebrothel was bustling with activity, like every night. Visitors patrolled leisurely between the bar, the tables, and the big staircase which led to the bedrooms. Behind a service door next to the bar, a two-tailed fennec and an orange dragon made final adjustments to each other's garb.
"Ready for the big night, Noryu?" the fennec asked.
"I think," the reptile replied hesitantly. "But Kaelyn, wearing these clothes feel weird."
As if to prove his point, Noryu made a few twists in the courtesan clothes that his boyfriend had bought specifically for this occasion. It was alluring, for the lack of a better word. He wore a body top which covered his upper chest, and left the rest free, with a zipper parting the front side, allowing easy access to what the silky material was covering; as for the bottoms, it was merely a speedo, one-size too small, and garters, which went up to the leather belt circling his hips and over his undergarment; the whole suit was in a vivid crimson color. A few accessories, such as googles and leather straps, completed the setup and gave him that 'sexy mechanic' look which was fashionable in the floating city.
"At the very least, I can move easily in this," Noryu kept going. He flapped his wings a little, making their membranous skin gleam in an orange-to-purple hue under the fading rays of summer sunlight, which peered through the window of the small room.
"Considering how you wooed me, six months ago, I'm surprised to hear these words coming from your mouth," Kaelyn replied. The fennec wore a very similar getup, with a few variations, which could be summed up as having light blue clothes, and leaving even more skin visible than his lover. In particular, his underpants stopped just short of showing his pubis.
"This was courtship," the dragon replied, feigning indignation and making Kaelyn snort in amusement.
"Hey handsome, you got the cutest butt? Courtship?" the black-and-white vulpine asked, raising an eyebrow. "Plus, you said it right there, in the stand pit, in front of everyone!"
"I can't lie. I have to tell when a butt is cute whenever it is due," the dragon giggled, before pinching said butt. "How come you do not wear these when we 'play' together?"
"It's kinda like my work clothes, so I never feel right when I wear them outside of the job. Plus, they cost me an arm to buy, and the other arm to clean," Kaelyn explained bitterly.
"Hmm. Well, in a few hours, they won't be anymore, so we will have a lot of catch-up to do," Noryu cheered him up.
Sighing, Kaelyn opened the service door ajar, and scouted the main room for tonight's 'customers'.
"They're here, at the table! That's perfect!" the fennec said excitedly. "You have the pills, right?"
"Yes, in my pocket, or what the tailor of this body top thought was one," Noryu answered, patting the place.
Kaelyn took a long breath. He had spent the eighteen years of his miserable life in the slums of the giant floating city, Cirris. A street urchin at seven; a pickpocket at nine; a prostitute at fifteen; lent by his madam as a pilot of these death traps that people call 'racing boats' at seventeen. Nobody in their right mind would sit in one of these barks, launched a hundred miles an hour in mid-air in dangerous races where cheating was forbidden only on paper. Fortunately, Kaelyn managed to live through his fourth race already. He was a natural at piloting; and he had met a very talented -and handsome- mechanic.
Both of them wanted to leave their poor life, and had the same dream: becoming air pirates. Romanced tales of the adventures of this folk were aboundant in Cirris, and they had already met some of them in their respective work.
The freedom which they represented was an utopia for the two lovers. However, actually joining a crew proved almost difficult. You could not just walk into an 'air pirate office' and sign a contract; and the few individuals whom Kaelyn attempted to talk into taking them aboard were more interested in his body, or did not want any trouble with the madam of the brothel, of which they were regulars. So, Kaelyn and Noryu decided to take the matter in their own hands, and 'acquire' a ship of their own.
They planned the deed meticulously. They quickly decided to choose their target carefully: stealing a normal-sized ship would be difficult to pull, and it would be impossible to maneuver it with a crew of only two. Hence, they settled on targeting the owners of a much smaller_esquif_, mainly used for smuggling and tailor-made for minimal airmanship. A month of spotting among the patrons of Kaelyn's brothel allowed them to stop a couple of sailors who would make good targets. After that, it was only a matter of procuring the necessary implements, and slip Noryu inside the pleasure house at the right time. And everything has now lead to this moment.
"Let's go, before someone else steals them from us," Kaelyn signaled. "And remember..."
"Keep smiling," Noryu completed, planting a kiss on the fennec's snout. "Got it."
The two boys walked towards the couple of burly sailors, who were sitting on a comfortable sofa, in a corner of the main room. A black wolf and a tiger, leisurely waiting for their glass of beer which they usually took, before spending time with the other merchandise of the brothel. They still were in their sailor attire: a tank top coupled with long pants. The tiger's pants were already half-unbuttoned, ready to slip down as soon as needed, and letting Kaelyn and Noryu see, as they approached, that there was nothing underneath except a heavy patch of white fur.
"Hey there, handsome," Kaelyn greeted them. "Do you want me and my friend to keep you company, while you wait for your drinks... And after?"
The air pirates exchanged a pleased smile. Having escorts sit with you was something only good customers were granted.
"Sure thing, cutie," the tiger replied, then he patted the space next to him. "Come and sit with me."
"Then, I guess that I will keep you company?" Noryu asked the wolf, who sheepishly nodded his approval, his fluffy fur wobbling with each movement of his head. His azure eyes were fixed on the young dragon.
Kaelyn walked around the table, making a big show of his tails swinging in the air, and took his seat, letting the tiger gaze on his behind with predatory eyes. The feline was visibly several years older than the wolf, and his big face was giving off a strong aura of manliness. A gorgeous specimen, all things considered.
Noryu emulated his friend the best he could. But even if the orange drake could not match his boyfriend's sex appeal, the wolf was already under the charm.
"Ha ha! Look at you, Loki, I'm sure that you are red like a tomato underneath that fur," the tiger laughed heartily, while he put his right arm around Kaelyn's shoulders, pulling the smaller fennec against his muscled chest.
"Aw? I thought that I had seen him here a few times already?" Kaelyn asked, curiously.
"He did, but the thing is, he's got a thing for scalies. See, in Quichuan, there was that dragon, and..."
"S-stop it, Rak, you're embarrassing me," the wolf protested meekly.
"Do not worry, sugar," Noryu teased him, pressing his advantage. "We are all friends here. Here to have some good fu...n?" he said in a sultry tone, having his finger run around the pitch black hair of the canine.
"Heh heh heh. You should imitate me and unbutton these. You're going to strain the fabric your pants if Loki junior keeps growing," Rak joked.
"You're just a bully," the wolf groaned.
"And you like it," the tiger finished his friend's thought.
"And so, mister Rak, you actually went to Quichuan?" Kaelyn asked, actually curious, while in the meantime a server brought the beers to their table.
For long minutes, the air pirates narrated their own adventures, regaling Kaelyn and Noryu with tales of treasure, fights, and more 'adult' adventures. The two wannabe-pirates were drinking the words of their life models as if they were milk, almost forgetting their plan. It was only when Kaelyn remarked that the beers were already half-empty that he snapped out of it, and decided that it was time to put the plan in motion.
"You really have an interesting life, mister Rak," Kaelyn started. He improvised the words, focusing more on his gesture in order to seduce the tiger and keep the pirates' focus away from their drinks. "You know, I fancy myself a pilot, sometimes?"
"Oh, you're one of these racing pilots?", the tiger asked. "I heard they put 'expendable' people in these things. You must have a lot of skill."
"Hmm hmm... And I must say that I am... Quite dexterous with a stick in hand," the fennec continued. On the last words, he suddenly straddled the tiger's lap, putting his legs on each side of the feline's hips and letting his bulge graze against the fabric of Rak's pants. He was already half-hard in there, and gods, was he hung!
Rak purred loudly, his hands instinctively setting down on Kaelyn's hips, and the gaze of his friend Loki was locked on them. He would have him wrapped around his finger in no time. He kept wiggling his pelvis lewdly, making the two bulges rubbed against each other while Noryu, understanding what he was up to, search for the pills in his pocket.
"Rrr... Any kind of sticks? Big sticks don't scare you?" Rak teased, making Kaelyn smirked.
"Any kind. And, depending on how many silvers you put on the table, I can show you how to handle a stick with... Other body parts," the fennec resumed his flirting. The tiger's cock had literally a spasm when its owner heard the proposition, and the wolf's hand was negligently fondling his own growing manhood. On his side, Kaelyn was more pleased to hear the soft fizzling sound of Noryu's pills dissolving into the beer.
"What do you say, sailor? A private piloting lesson, just the two of us! And my friend could occupy mister Loki while we are busy."
"Of course," Noryu said, leaning on the wolf and running a scaly hand over his tummy. "I wonder if your dragon friend in Quichuan showed you what it feels like when you are surrounded by my wings. Two sexy bodies pressed together... Mrr..."
The wolf began to pant heavily, and Noryu mentally complimented himself on the good shape of his charming skills.
"W-Would you?" Loki asked, both at Noryu and his friend.
"That's what we brought all this money for," Rak replied in an upbeat tone. "But first, let's chug these beers down!"
"You know, Kaelyn, I feel kind of guilty," Noryu whined. Half an hour had passed. He and Kaelyn guided Rak and Loki to one of the bedrooms on the second floor. They had barely passed the door when the two air pirates staggered towards the bed before falling unconscious. The odd pair did not waste time in searching them for the key to their _esquif_and bailing out by the window.
"We simply drugged them, Noryu," Kaelyn replied. "And I am sure that_they_ can afford the price of an esquif, with all the money they were carrying for a shore leave. Just be quiet for now."
They slipped into the many small streets of the city, towards the harbor. Several times, the fennec's coworkers hailed them:
"Hey, Kaelyn, should you not be at the brothel tonight?"
"Kay! On an errand for the madam?"
"There's a frigate's crew staying at the inn, next block. Do you want to make a few silvers with us?"
Each time, the black-and-white vulpine gave them evasive answers and stepped up the pace, Noryu following silently behind.
"We should have switched out from these clothes," he cursed. Their vividly colored, skimpy clothes were conspicuous indeed. Fortunately, the harbor was filled with people wearing such attires; there was no shortage of pent up sailor to satiate in this part of the city.
"Do we even know where to look?" Noryu asked, concerned.
"I tailed them to and from their ship several times. Trust me."
True to his word, Kaelyn led his friend to the small airship, which rested into the small bay among many others. The collective hum of the aerostones, which were fixed under every vessel, produced a continuous buzzing which, alongside the darkness, ensured that the endeavor of the two young males would not be interrupted.
This was a standard esquif. Small, fast-paced ships, their primary (legal) use was yachting, and it was also a favorite of small traders and smugglers. Kaelyn and Noryu jumped on the bridge, and opened the door to the inside. Small stairs led down to a personal cabin and the technical parts of the ship, and up to the navigation room.
"Let's get that beauty running," the dragon said excitedly.
They ran up towards the navigation room, where the helm awaited them. Kaelyn took position behind it while Noryu manipulated the various buttons and levers to turn on the motor. Once it was done, the reptile placed himself next to his lover. Around them, the wood and metal vibrated lightly, while the hum coming from the ship became a little stronger.
Finally, the ship went up at the frustratingly slow pace. However, it did not matter for the two boys, who romantically held each other's hand as their dream was becoming reality. Once the esquif was out of the harbor, Noryu pushed the ship full speed ahead, and thus began their journey towards the great sea of cloud.
"So... Where to?" Noryu asked.
In response, Kaelyn nudged his head towards a piece of paper stuck on the control board. Meet with Kern for sell at Lemitia, followed by a series of coordinates.
"So, Lemitia? This won't be a short flight?" the dragon commented.
"Yup. We should be there in six hours or so," the fennec explained "which gives us some time... To have some fun together."
"Hu hu..." his lover giggled. "After all, they are not your work clothes anymore, aren't they?"
Grinning, he hugged Kaelyn, pressing his scaly body against the soft fur, and the two were about to kiss each other, when an irritated voice erupted, stopping them dead in their tracks: "Before you get all cozy and snuggly, may I have a word?"
Noryu and Kaelyn turned their heads, with perfect synchronicity, towards the room's entrance. A huge bear, arms as thick as wooden planks was looking at them, stood by the door with an annoyed look on his face.
The bear made the two young men turn the ship around to Cirris. After locking them up in the cabin, the bear left into town in order to fetch his comrades. A few hours later, the bear brought back Rak and Loki, still a little groggy from the drug slipped into their drinks. Terrified from having to face punishment for their failed theft, they looked for a way out. But there was none, unless you would count suicide by fall as such.
"So, you got us good," the tiger began. "What did you think, trying to steal our ship. Such a shitty little ship, even?"
"No matter," the bear cut. "You will have the time to tell us at the base."
"At the base?" Noryu repeated, puzzled.
"We are actually quite impressed by what you pulled. Many would have tried to pry the key by force or intimidation, but you used charm and cunning, like a real air pirate," Loki explained. "Also, we quickly checked your backgrounds while we were stranded. You made it through four races unscathed, which means that both of you have skill in your respective trade. And Bori," he continued, pointing at the bear, "told me you managed to get our girl flying on the first try."
"So, we decided, at unanimity, that we would take you in," Rak concluded.
Kaelyn and Noryu looked at each other in disbelief, and were about to jump in each other's arms in joy when the tiger tempered his previous statement: "Now, now. You will still have to prove yourself to the boss, and considering that we got thrown out from the brothel because of the mess, we won't take no for an answer. But I'm pretty sure that it remains a nice deal for the both of you, isn't it?"
"Of course it is!" Noryu approved joyfully while the air pirates stepped on board. However, just as Rak passed between the two males, he stopped and grinned.
"I should warn you, kids: we only have one cabin. And you," he said, grabbing Kaelyn's ass " you own me a piloting lesson."
Kaelyn and Noryu groaned as they left the cabin, the next morning. The night was long, but their rest was short. The tiger was certainly enthusiastic at getting back at the two-tailed fennec, and his comrades were all to pleased to join the class, also putting the dragon to work.
Their prostitute clothes were damaged and stained with various fluids from the deed. If Kaelyn was glad to see them go, Noryu was still a little distraught that his had seen only one use. Fortunately, Loki, the only one whose size approached the boys', gave them some of his spare clothes.
"Finally up, are we?" Bori greeted them in the navigation bridge. "And just in time! Looked outside."
Kaelyn and Noryu followed suit, and their mouths opened wide from the scenery outside.
A few miles in front of them, there was a small island. It was lost in the clouds and barely bigger than the harbor of Cirris, but the pair could see the housings on the surface, and the steam rise from the underside of the floating rock. The unmistakable glow of aerostones could be seen behind the steam.
"An_îlot_?! Is this an îlot?" Kaelyn asked loudly in amazement.
"Yup," Rak answered from behind the fennec, giving him a tap on the butt as a welcome. "Our mobile base of operations, hidden in the middle of the Sea of Clouds."
The_esquif_ circled the small piece of land lost in the white cushion of cumuli, and the future pirates could watch the ground bustling with activity.
"Welcome to your new life, boys!" Bori announced solemnly. "I am sure that you will enjoy it!"
