Twilight Eros Chapter 54

Holy Pengu! A New chapter!. To say things with school and health have been crazy would be an understatement. So this chapter is a bit shorter then normal. It felt right to slowly work back into writing and posting. Hopefully the trend continues.

Chapter 54
Spec sat at on his couch as he rubbed pain ointment on his back where Luna had hit him with the art book. He was glad it was a spot he could reach by himself. "I swear, if she wasn't my sister, I'd literally kill her" he mumbled to himself as his wrestling show came back on. The group that Luna told him about, the Ammo Party, was making their entrance.
"Man, these guys are just copying all the old bad guy stables from before" he said to himself as his cell rang. He checked the number and saw that it was Scotty who was calling. "Hey Scotty, what's up?" he asked after bringing the phone to his ear.
"Hey Spec. Luna just left for Japan not to long ago. She mentioned that you wanted to hang out some time soon before she left".
"Yeah, I did" he said as he rolled his eyes, wondering what story she cooked up for her boyfriend. "I told her that right after she broke my back with a coffee table book".
"She did what? Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Sore, but nothing a back rub and taking it easy on my back wont fix. Got anything you want to do in particular?" Spec asked as he tossed his tube of ointment aside.
"I'm open to anything. We can hang out and build more models and watch some movies or something".
"Sounds good. If for some reason we get bored and can't figure out what to do I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind having us over".
"Cool I'll call you later to set something up".
"Cool, I'll talk to you later" replied Spec before they both said "good bye". Spec went back to watching the wrestling match on TV. "Seriously, why does Luna love these guys? Those two bucks have done nothing but super kick everyone around the ring".

As the work week went on, Spec continued to watch more clips involving the Ammo Party from the internet in his free time. He didn't know why exactly, but there was something about the group that appealed to him. He found himself mentally calling out catch phrases in his head when hearing certain everyday trigger words.
It was Friday and Spec found himself off. He wanted to work but Cindy insisted that he take the next two days off since Scotty was coming over that evening. While the wolf waited, he watched the latest wrestling installment. He got excited as the theme for the Ammo Party started playing.
"WOO, AMMO PARTY!" Spec looked around after realizing he yelled out to an empty room. He sighed as he opened a bag of chips and took one out to snack on. "I need to get out more often" he said as there was a knock on his door.
Upon answering it, he saw it was Scotty. He had a back pack and a couple of models under his arm. "Hey Spec" said the skunk as he walked in. "Hey Scotty. You got here earlier then I thought" said Spec as he closed the door behind him.
"Yeah, I got out early" said Scotty. "The B&B is pretty much booked up. Some sort of gaming convention is in town. Once I was sure the staff had enough food and supplies for the weekend going into Tuesday, I was able to cut out. I might step in Sunday though, just to check in on everything".
"Cool" said Spec as he sat down on the couch again. Scotty took a seat next to him after setting his models down on the coffee table and taking off his goose down vest. "What are you watching?" asked Scotty.
"Wrestling. Luna told me about this group that I'm really starting to like. Takes a bit for them to grow on you though. If you want to change the channel, go ahead. I can catch the replay later" said Spec as he offered Scotty some chips.
"It's fine" said Scotty as he took a handful of chips. "We can grab a bite or start building models after this. Did you pick up anything good?"
"Yep. I found these scale snap models of star fighter ships. They even have bases that link together so you can recreate fight scenes. Even found them for 30% off" said Spec as he held up one of the models he purchased. He offered the box to Scotty, who looked over the outside packaging.
"Cool. So, did you want to make dinner or did you want to go out?" asked Scotty as he handed the model back to Spec. "Unless you feel like cooking something cold like cereal, I'd suggest we order out. Too hot to cook".
"I hear you" said Scotty as he got up to get a soda from the fridge. After returning to his seat, he continued to watch more of the wrestling match. "Let me ask you some thing. Why do those two bucks keep chopping to their crotch while yelling 'suck it'?"
Spec chuckled as he brought a chip to his mouth. "I don't think I could explain that even if I tried".
** ** ** ** **
After wrestling, the two decided to start up on some of their models. About thirty minutes into one of his ships, Spec was annoyed with his stickers. "What's wrong?" asked Scotty as the wolf's frustration was obvious.
"I need to get new tweezers. The points on this pair aren't as sharp as they used to be. It's making sticker application a pain in the ass. I mean, look at how small these things are". Scotty hummed and nodded after Spec showed him the stickers he was working with. They were much smaller then the ones used for the giant robot models.
At some point, Spec gave up on the smaller stickers. Mainly the ones that went into the ships cockpit as they were just too frustrating. Once Spec was about half way done with his first model, he asked Scotty, "Do you think Cindy would have been okay with an open relationship with her best friend?"
Scotty raise an eye brow at the random question. "I don't see why not. I mean considering our past sexual relations and all".
"Which reminds me, you've fucked both my sister and my mother" said Spec while staring at Scotty. "I'm messing with you" said Spec with a chuckle as he snapped on the wings of his model. He turned it around to make sure everything looked even before continuing.
Scotty gave a mixed sigh of annoyance and relief as he used a toothpick to smooth out a sticker into a tight spot on his model. "Why would you ask that about my cousin anyway? Something going on between you two and some one else I don't know about?"
"Sorta" said Spec as he was mounting his model on the stand it came with. "Turns out Cindy is best friends with my ex. When they found out the connection, Cindy talked about having a relationship with all three of us and her friend seemed to be on board for a bit. Cindy suggested that her friend and I go out on a date to see how things would work. It didn't go too well".
"She wasn't happy with the date?"
"No, she was happy with the date. She just didn't want to date again..." Spec paused as he wasn't sure how else to explain it. "I mean, she wants to still be friends, but she doesn't want to be boyfriend girlfriend again".
"I see" said Scotty as he started to assemble his weapons for his robot. "But it seems like you needed advice for your ex. Why did you ask if Cindy would be okay with an open relationship?"
"I don't know" said Spec. "I mean, how are you suppose to bring something like that up in casual conversation?"
"Come on Spec. Like the relationship you, me, Luna, and Cindy have is normal?"
"You make a fair point there Scott" said Spec as he grinned a bit.
"To be honest, I wouldn't mind sleeping with your mom again. You think your dad would be cool with that?" asked Scotty with a joking tone.
"Don't press your luck Scotty" said Spec as he started to cut out the pieces of his second model. "Sorry" replied Scotty, a bit sheepish in tone. "But she has asked about you. You should go up to the mansion with Luna again some time soon".
Scotty's head shot up when he heard Spec's last comment. He wasn't sure if he was being serious or pulling his leg.
** ** ** ** **
Scotty didn't spend the night at Spec's. He ended up going home after midnight as the two finished their models while chatting and enjoying some bad sci fi B movies. Both questioned just how many times sharks can fly from the ocean and attack people in land locked places.
Spec tried to get some sleep but his back was still hurting from when Luna attacked him. It was no where as stiff as it was earlier in the week, but it was still enough to bother him. "I swear, one day I'm gonna kill her" said Spec as he went downstairs to check on the store.
The store was about as busy as expected for a Saturday. Cindy was working the register. Spec moaned at her when he saw her taking secret sniffs of the new fantasy novel that came out. "I don't care what you are thinking Cindy. I'm not doing anything unless it involves a platter of grapes and you in a leather corset".
"Keep talking to me like that big boy, and I can arrange that" she said with a grin. "Did you and Scotty have fun last night?" she asked as she set her book to the side.
"Yeah. We built models and ate pizza. I think Scott really wanted to be close to the B&B though. He said there was a convention in town. You know how those get" said Spec as he tried to stretch out his back.
"Back still bothering you?"
"Yeah... I think I'm gonna swing by my parents place. See about using their hot tub and maybe get a message too".
"Going to have fun without me?" whined Cindy playfully.
"You were the one who told me to take the day off. I promise I'll make it up to you. That and I should talk to my mom. I may or may not have given Scotty some bad ideas to play around with".
"Do I even want to know what you are talking about?" asked a concerned Cindy.
"I'll tell you later in private. And I'll see if my folks will have us for a weekend again soon. I'm sure they wont mind. I should be back before the store closes. If I'm not, you can wait for me upstairs".
"Have fun Spec" said Cindy as she waved him off.
"I will. Just don't get distracted by sniffing the new hard backs".
** ** ** ** **
Spec was gone for a few hours. Like he predicted, he returned before the store was any where close to closing. He saw no need to check in on Cindy as he hadn't received any calls and everything looked fine from the outside. Spec parked his car in the garage and made his way to the apartment from the side entrance.
Spec stretched and moaned in pleasure as he tossed his keys into a dish next to the front door once he was inside. "Oh yeah, feeling much better" he said as he went to the kitchen and poured him self a glass of milk. He put a few chocolate chip cookies into a folded paper towel as he went to the living room. Just as he was about to sit down, Spec set his snacks down and went to the bed room instead. "Better use the restroom before settling in".
After relieving himself, he made his way back through the bed room. It was at this point he realized something was out of place. His comforter was not in the same position he left it in during the morning. That, and there was familiar looking fox tail hanging out from under it.
Spec looked at the situation with crossed arms. He tapped his foot and tilted his head before saying in a soft drawn out tone, "Estelle?..." There was a long pause before a quiet voice replied "no..." from under the comforter. Spec rolled his eyes his eyes before lifting the comforter off of Estelle who waved at him nervously.
"Hello Estelle" replied the not so surprised wolf. "So, a few questions, one of which I'm sure I know the answer two. First, how did you get in here? Second, why were you burrowing under my comforter?"
"Well... I need to see you about something so I came to visit you. Cindy said you were out so I asked if I could wait for you and she let me in". Spec rolled his eyes, knowing that is exactly how that happened. "And while I was waiting, I decided to take a nap. I curled up under your comforter and I fell asleep".
"Makes sense" said Spec as he was used to the fox's habits for hiding and taking random naps. "So what did you need to talk to me about?" asked Spec.
"Well... The thing is..." Estelle started to stutter as she was obviously struggling to produce the words she wanted to say. Spec simply waited as he knew rushing her would do no good. "The thing is... I kinda..." She paused again as she fidgeted before saying in one fast sentence, "I need you to be my boy friend" before burying her face into his comforter again.
Spec sat still for a minute as if the information he just heard needed time to process. When what she said finally hit him, Spec raise his brow before looking at the fox and asked, "You need me to do what?"
