A Feathered Education

Story by GryphonWings on SoFurry

A young man attending a new co-ed school with gryphons and humans finds out more about his fellow feathered classmates than he'd initially bargained for...


"All right class, that'll do for today," echoed the voice of Mr. Stillwing, their middle-aged gryphon teacher as the class of young humans and gryphons stopped what they were doing. Outside the gymnasium the bell for the end of the school day was ringing, and the students began to file back towards the locker rooms after a long hour and a half of physical education.

At the far end of the gym Jason stopped his jog and headed over to the bench to grab his towel, mopping up some of the sweat that dotted his forehead as he began to follow the others to the change rooms. Stillwing encouraged them along, both gryphons and humans making their way to their respective areas.

Talbach High was the first school in the Kingdom to allow both humans and gryphons to co-attend, and was halfway into the first year of the new regime. Once a gryphon-only school, the grounds had been expanded and, in some places, modified to accommodate the new human students and teachers. Thanks to a generous grant from the Gryphon King himself, Talbach was to be the experimental model upon which future schools in the Kingdom would base themselves on.

As Jason left the gym floor and headed down the corridor to the locker rooms, he thought briefly about how things had changed for him since he'd moved from a human-only school to a co-ed one. A large brown gryphon bumped against his side as he passed, throwing him a brief look of disdain; even in the modern climate, there were still tensions everywhere you looked.

Talbach was known to be one of the best schools in the Kingdom; reserved for the elite, as far as gryphons were concerned. So, when a large group of humans had been given scholarships to attend and pilot the new education model, he'd jumped at the chance. After a few months, however, he had his doubts about whether or not it was really going to work. There were so many differences...

Arriving at the human locker room, he walked in and around the corner to where many of his classmates were hopping into the showers and donning their regular school clothes. Crossing the floor to his own locker, he pushed the combination into the lock and watched the door click open to reveal his school bag and uniform.

"Hey Jason," came the call from behind him, turning to see Ricky, one of his classmates, give him a small nod. "want to grab a bite to eat after class today? I'm gonna grab some pizza from Riccardo’s." Jason chuckled and shook his head.

"Can't, sorry!" he responded apologetically, "got an assignment due tomorrow, and I'm behind as it is. Plus, I'm trying to watch my weight, yeah?" Ricky snorted at that.

"Doesn't matter how fit ya get," Ricky laughed, gesturing to the door, "not gonna outrun the birds anytime soon." Jason chuckled in turn, but shook his head.

"You shouldn't call them that," he said quietly, earning a shrug from his friend who returned to his locker to change. With the distraction aside, Jason pulled on his school shirt and tossed his sweaty gym pants until his bag to take home. After such a good run he felt a healthy burn in his legs, but also felt that familiar sensation of wishing he could fly like the gryphons could instead. Closing the locker door, he made his way over to the locker room exit and back out into the corridor of the gym. He would have a quick shower at home, he thought, and then get stuck into his math assignment.

Stepping back out into the schoolyard, he looked about at the hundreds of humans and gryphons filtering out from classrooms, either towards the school gates or over them depending on whether or not the student possessed wings. It was a surreal sight, even after months on campus, to see such a mix of species in such close proximity. King Talos had promised to make a Kingdom where humans and gryphons could live together in peace, and he was living that experiment firsthand.

Even at Talbach, issues remained. Gryphons and humans remained mostly in groups of their own kind at lunch, and a number of humans would often sustain severe injuries when things came to blows, or slashes, with an agitated avian student. Punishments were harsh for gryphons who harmed humans, which only further increased tensions between the two species. There were a number on both sides content with the new regime, but they were not yet the majority by far. Insults such as 'half-breeds' and 'animals' were often met with just as many calls of 'flightless monkeys' and the oft-retorted slur of 'bird food'.

Jason only made it halfway across the main courtyard before he realized he'd left his bag back at his locker. With a small curse under his breath he turned and headed back towards the gym, pushing past a few of his avian classmates as he moved against the flow of traffic to fetch his forgotten clothes.

As he entered the gym he found it empty, save for Mr. Stillwing who was busy putting away the last few pieces of sports equipment. Hurrying past his teacher and down the corridor, he turned the corner and grunted as he ran into a solid wall of fur and feathers. The surprise impact left him seated firmly on his rear on the corridor floor, looking up to see the critical gaze of one of his classmates, a jet-black gryphon he knew was named Raal.

"S... sorry about that!" he quickly apologized, "I didn't see you there." He had no intention of trying to get on the bad side of a gryphon when he just wanted to grab his stuff and head home to study. From his position on the ground, the avian before him looked large and imposing.

"That's alright, watch where you're going next time," Raal grunted, ruffling his feathers a little and wrapping a strong claw around Jason's arm. With an easy motion he helped pick his classmate off the ground so they could speak eye to eye. Jason found himself a little startled at being grabbed by the gryphon, and his impressive strength to lift him so easily.

"On your way home?" Raal asked and the human nodded, gesturing past him to the locker room. He was surprised; gryphons at Talbach normally didn't make the time of day for humans like him.

"Yeah, just forgot my bag," he explained, "got a maths test happening tomorrow, hence the running." Raal nodded, but his eyes lit up a little.

"Is that Mrs Silversten's algebra test?" the black-furred male inquired.

"Yep, that's the one."

The gryphon paused for a moment, pondering. "I've got the same one... how would you feel about studying for it together after school then?" Jason's eyes widened, caught off guard by the unusual request.

"You want to study math with me, a human?" he replied suddenly, and Raal chuckled quietly.

"Is that not the point of this school?" he reasoned, and Jason hesitated, but nodded. He wasn't sure how he felt about being alone with a gryphon yet, even one as seemingly friendly as Raal.

"I guess we could do that then," he finally agreed, "where do you want to go? The library is closed tonight, so it'd have to be at my place, or yours. The name's Jason, by the way." Raal lowered his head a little at that.

"I'm Raal, and how about we go to yours?" the gryphon suggested, "my father is... well... traditional. He might not take too kindly to...." Jason sighed; it wasn't uncommon to have older gryphons harbouring old values. Still... Raal seemed eager enough to be progressive.

"Alright, mine it is," he said with a smile, "just let me go grab my gym gear and I'll meet you out front." He hurried past the hybrid, feeling a little bit of excitement well up inside him. He had human friends, but he'd never really managed to make a gryphon one before. It was a little exciting, and he hoped he wouldn't say something stupid to ruin the chance to learn more about one.

He grabbed his bag from his locker, locked it up once more and headed back out to join the gryphon outside the gym. Raal was seated patiently, and looked over at him as he approached.

"Got what you need?" the gryphon inquired, and the human nodded in reply.

"Good," he continued, "well... I usually fly home but... I guess we're going to be walking?" Jason flushed slightly with embarrassment and Raal quickly shook his head.

"Not that there's anything wrong with that," the young avian quickly added, "I'm happy to walk. I'm not sure where you live though, so lead the way." As he turned away, Jason saw the gryphon's school bag tied around his foreleg: a common way for gryphons to carry their belongings around.

They headed out towards the gate, and despite having just met, Raal was not short of interest for his new human study companion.

"So, where do you live?" he asked with a tilt of his beak, "I don't really get to visit the human districts much. It's... well, the buildings are a little cramped for my liking." Jason laughed a little and shook his head.

"Well, I live in an apartment around half a kilometre from campus," he explained, "and you're probably not going to find it very spacious. It's not even very big for me, and I'm a human."

"I'm sure it'll be fine," Raal reassured him, but Jason wasn't convinced. He didn't exactly want to admit to one of the elite gryphons that attended the school that he was a poor human who had to live in a tiny apartment because it was all he could afford. He half expected the gryphon to laugh at him, or to leave the moment he saw where he lived. His cheeks burned red with shame, and yet he tried his best to put on a brave face.

"What about you?" he asked as they walked onto the main street outside of the school grounds, heading off towards his home. "Where do you come from? I admit I haven't really... well, talked like this with a gryphon before." Raal looked at him with brief surprise, but then nodded. It wasn't unusual for many, even at Talbach, to not have even spoken to the other species despite sharing classes.

"Well... I live in Central Talbach, District 1," the gryphon explained, and Jason's nearly fell over in shock.

"D... District 1! " he exclaimed as he tried to compose himself. District 1 was the first set of residences right outside the King's castle itself. It was home to those who served the Gryphon King directly and their families; generally, the wealthiest in the Kingdom. For Raal to come from there many that he was practically dealing with nobility, and that itself could bring a whole host of issues.

"Are... are you someone really important?" he managed to stammer out, earning a small chuckle in reply.

"I'm not," Raal explained, "my father though, he's pretty well known. He works for the King. I try not to live in his shadow though, so I'd rather not let that colour your perception of me." He seemed rather evasive on the subject, and Jason let it drop.

"Alright, well, do I need to call you Lord?" Jason asked again, teasingly this time, and Raal glared at him briefly before giving him a small smirk.

"Call me Raal," he corrected playfully before Jason gestured down towards a narrow alleyway.

"Gotta go through here," he directed, and Raal huffed at how narrow it was for a gryphon. Tucking his wings in to his sides firmly, he followed the human down towards his home. It only took a minute before they were at the base of the stairs that led up to his apartment on the second floor.

"Up this way," Jason guided as he led his classmate up the stairs and down a lengthy hall before getting to the third apartment on the floor. "This is it, home sweet home. I warn you though, it's no District 1 in here."

He unlocked the door and pushed it open, watching as Raal poked his head through the tight, human-sized doorway to take in the room inside. The gryphon gazed around the interior briefly, taking in the sight of the human’s small apartment with surprise. It was mostly a single room; a small kitchen on the far wall, bed in the middle, and a small table and desk with books strewn across it. A sliding door to the side indicated the entrance to the bathroom, which was similarly diminutive. Despite his prior words, Raal was shocked by just how little space his classmate had to live in.

Pushing himself through the doorway, the gryphon grunted as the frame pressed against his wings, stepping inside and trying not to bump into any of the furniture. It was a place clearly not meant for gryphons to reside in, and as he looked around critically he watched Jason walk in behind him with a dejected expression.

“Told you,” the man said apologetically, meeting the avian’s gaze as he stood beside the bed, “I... uh... haven’t really got a lot of money.” Raal slowly seated himself on the carpet at the foot of the bed and lowered his head a little.

“It’s... really small...” the gryphon commented honestly, “but it’s cozy, and it’s yours.” He ruffled his feathers as Jason placed his schoolbag down on the ground beside his desk and took a seat at the single chair there.

“I... haven’t really ever spoken with a gryphon at length before,” he admitted quietly, “we’re so different, and there’s always problems at school between gryphons and humans... but you seem really... I dunno, reasonable.” Raal chuckled at that, and shook his head.

“I’m not going to leave just because you’re one of the scholarship students,” the larger male reassured him, seeing Jason’s eyes lift as he said so. “We’re going to study, right? You’re getting great results in class, so I don’t really mind where you live if it means we pass the assignment with good marks.” He reached over and grasped the bag tied to his foreleg, pulling out a textbook and dropping it on the carpet.

“I’ll study right here if I have to, and you can have the desk.” His bright attitude brought Jason out of his dejected thoughts, feeling a bit of hope surge in his chest. Raal really wasn’t how he’d imagined the stuck-up residents of District 1 would be, and perhaps he really could make a friend with one of the gryphons at school. His own friends probably wouldn’t approve much of his choice though, he considered briefly, but pushed the thoughts aside as he heard claws rifling through textbook pages.

They studied together for the better part of an hour and a half, going over the notes they'd each taken, and quizzing each other on parts of the textbook. Despite his initial reservations about studying with a gryphon, Jason found himself enjoying Raal's company and quickly realized how intelligent the avian was. Eventually, he looked up from his notes and saw that the young hybrid was gazing out the window into the street below, stretching out his wings and ruffling them slowly.

"I think I'm all studied out for today," the larger male commented as he closed the textbook with the tip of his claw. "I think we're both ready for the test now, anyway." Jason nodded in agreement, placing his own books down and turning around in his seat to look at his studying companion. He took up so much space on the floor that there was barely any left, and Jason chuckled as he realized just how much of a difference there was.

"You heading off now?" he asked, and Raal looked at him with a tilt of his head.

"I guess I could," he replied, "or I could crash here for the night if you prefer. I haven't really... hung out with a human before. It's fun." Jason was a little surprised; he certainly hadn't expected the gryphon to want to stay.

"I mean... there's not a lot of room," he replied apologetically, "but you're welcome to stay if you want. I haven't really hung out with a gryphon either." He got up from his desk and walked over to the bed, taking off his school shoes and placing them aside before sitting down on the mattress. Even on the floor, Raal's head was nearly level with his own when seated on the edge of his bed.

"I hope you don't mind me asking," Jason inquired hesitantly, "but don't you have... I dunno... better things to do than hang out with me? Not that I don't want to, but you're... I mean, you're popular in class, live in District 1, have a father who works for the King himself! I'm... none of those things."

Raal chuckled a little at the question, glancing out the window before giving a small sigh and returning his gaze.

"I can see where you're coming from, and many of my peers are probably like that," the young gryphon explained quietly, "but even among them I find it hard to get along. My father..." He trailed off momentarily, and Jason leaned in a little closer.

"I guess I can tell you," he continued, ruffling his feathers a little, "my father is pretty famous. A lot of my kind at school just want to know me for my connections, or the wealth my family possesses." A louder sigh escaped his beak as he looked down at his talons.

"I just don't enjoy hanging out with most of them, and I figured I might actually get some study done if, ya know, it was with a human." He looked up, and then quickly shook his head. "Not that I'm against humans or anything, I just... I dunno, wanted to be out of District 1 for a while. Even at home, my parents can be so pushy." He fell silent, and it left the human listening unsure of what to say to all that.

"Well, you can stay here for the night then," Jason offered again, "I enjoyed the study session with you, so if you want to get away for a day just crash here. If you don't mind sleeping in a house the size of one of your rooms." He chuckled, and even Raal managed a small smirk.

"Thanks, I'll do just that then," the gryphon agreed, and stretched out his limbs and gazing around the apartment. It was a unique situation for Jason, who hadn't really ever been able to have this opportunity to learn about one of his feathered classmates before, especially not one so interesting. He avoided prodding too much into Raal's parents, and instead chose an easier topic. There were still at least a few hours before he needed to sleep, anyway.

"What do you normally do outside of school?" Jason inquired with genuine interest, "there aren't many gryphons in and around District Eleven to really know what kind of things you guys get up to." Raal laughed and flicked his tail slightly.

"I normally head home after class, my mother normally has dinner waiting," the young avian replied. "Father's... normally working late shifts at the castle, so he's not home until after midnight on school days. So, I usually eat up then head out to the training centre where myself and a few others from District 1 practise flight manoeuvres and combat." Jason's eyes widened at that.

"You do military training in your spare time?" he asked quickly, and Raal nodded.

"Yeah, it's a good way to keep fit, and besides, humans aren't in the King's army. You never know when you might be needed. Besides, my genes are..." He paused, realising he may have said too much. Jason was leaning quite forward, and Raal reached up and pushed him back slightly with his foreclaws.

" It's not that interesting, really," the hybrid muttered, looking a little less thrilled. Jason, however, couldn't have been more interested. He decided to push his luck.

"Look," the man pressed, "I'm not going to tell anyone anything, if there's something you just want to get off your chest. I promise." Raal gazed at him briefly, and huffed in annoyance.

"You won't like what you hear," he explained somewhat cryptically, and Jason groaned.

"That only makes me more curious," he chuckled, and even Raal smirked slightly.

"Alright, but..." the gryphon stood back up and then sat down on his haunches, "really... it's not really common knowledge among humans." He sighed and looked Jason in the eye.

"My father is Uren Darkwing," Raal stated bluntly, and Jason's eyes widened in shock. Watching the human's face, the gryphon's expression fell as he saw that same reaction that most humans had when they found out who his father was.

"Y... you're serious? Uren?" Jason managed to stammer, and the young avian nodded. Outside of the royal family, most humans didn't pay much attention to the nobles that frequented the King's court. There was one name that all knew, however, and not for pleasant reasons.

Lord Darkwing was the King's right hand in matters of criminality, punishment and execution. It was well known that his primary role was the capture and interrogation of foreign spies, but that alone hadn't earned him his fearsome reputation. Before the Co-Habitation Decree and the Human Protection Act had been passed by King Talos some thirty years prior, Uren Darkwing had been in charge of the punishment and execution of citizens. Most notably, he would consume them whole, digest them alive, and visit their next of kin to inform them of what had happened. More often than not, while they were still fighting for life in the depths of his cruel, merciless stomach. That was why every human household knew his name, and why the colour had slightly drained from Jason's features.

"I can't believe it..." he muttered, wondering just how much trouble he might have just landed himself in. What might happen if Uren found out his son had been hiding out at a human's house? The thought of a visit from the King's personal torturer was not a pleasant one.

"I thought you might react like that," Raal noted dryly, and Jason snapped out of his thoughts to see the larger male staring at him. "Do you still feel the same way?" Hesitating, it took a moment for the stunned man to think of a response.

"I..." he began, but paused; after all this, could he really tell the gryphon to leave?

"I'm a little... shocked, yeah," he finally admitted, "but you're not him, are you? You're Raal. We just spent the afternoon studying together, and you seem like a nice guy... or gryphon, anyway." He exhaled shortly and met that piercing expression.

"You... you mean it? You're still okay with me staying?" Raal asked incredulously, "I... I really thought you'd kick me out."

"As long as you don't tell him, okay?" Jason added, and the gryphon nodded firmly. He was beginning to really like this human.

"Man... Lord Darkwing is your dad... that must be one hell of a reputation to live under. Wait... is that what you were saying earlier? Your father is huge, isn't he? Nearly as big as the King himself. Are you going to grow that big too, you reckon?" Raal nodded, and stretched out his wings as best he could in the small room.

"I'm already the tallest in class by a foot and a half," he explained with a grin, "so yeah, I reckon I'll get his size. Give me another year and I'll have to break your doorframe to get into here." Jason smiled, pleased to see some of that light-hearted Raal back in his voice. He was still reeling in his mind from finding out who this gryphon's parents were, but he didn't want to ruin this newfound friendship. Raal didn't seem that dangerous, at the very least.

"Don't think I'm going to be getting a bigger place anytime soon," Jason chuckled, "I don't really have a lot of money, as you can probably tell. I can't even imagine what kind of lifestyle you might have in District 1." The gryphon shook his head and waved a claw dismissively.

"There are things more important than wealth," the avian replied, "sure, there's perks all the time, but it doesn't buy you real friends." He gazed down at the carpet and exhaled slowly.

"Do you have a girlfriend," Jason asked suddenly, and then briefly considered if he'd asked too much. But Raal shook his head, his mane swaying as he looked back up at his new human friend.

"Nah, not at the moment," he explained, "I've been approached a few times, of course, but they're always after the lifestyle, or just want to catch my father's eye through me. It's... just humiliating sometimes. I mean, I've got a lot to offer myself, right?" For some reason, away from home and with this human, Raal felt like he could open up a bit. It was refreshing.

"What about you?" the gryphon countered, looking around the apartment briefly, "got anyone special? I'm sure they're not living with you though." He chuckled, and Jason blushed.

"Nah, I've never really had much luck with women," he replied honestly, "guess we're both single then. I guess in my mind I thought a gryphon from District 1 would have it easy... seems it's not always that simple." They both fell silent for a moment, before that large beak turned back to face him.

"This might be a little personal," Raal began, "but they really don't teach us a lot about humans at school. All the classes are about gryphons, since the school used to be gryphon-exclusive. So... I was just wondering... do human women lay eggs?" Jason was taken aback by the question, and the seriousness in which the gryphon asked it nearly had him laughing. Containing himself, the young man leaned back on his bed and took a deep breath.

"I'm... surprised you don't know that already," he responded measuredly, "but no, humans have live young. You really haven't been exposed to humans much, have you?" The gryphon nodded in confirmation.

"There aren't any in District 1," the larger male reasoned, "all I really know is the humans I've seen at school and the ones I've heard about from Father..." He fell quiet, gazing at the floor. "It's a shame our species don't get along more... you seem as nice as any gryphon I've met. Maybe nicer. At least you're not trying to use me for something."

Jason felt a twinge of pity for the teenage gryphon, who seemed rather downcast at the whole situation. He reached out with his hand, as if to perhaps reassuringly pat Raal on the head like he would a puppy, but quickly pulled his hand back as he realized how demeaning that gesture might seem to a sentient gryphon.

"I had no idea who you or your father were," Jason commented, rubbing his hands together, "and I don't really care. Well, your dad's a bit scary, but you're you and I'm me." He chuckled and leaned in a little. "Don't think too much of it. Let's just enjoy the night, yeah?" The avian looked up and nodded in agreement, his expression brightening a little more.

"Why do humans always go around wearing clothes, then," Raal asked, changing the topic, "there's so many shops I saw on our walk here that seem to sell them." A small smile crossed Jason's face; evidently the gryphon had very little idea about human society. Even with all of the reforms from the King himself promoting greater unity between species, there was still a long way to go.

" I mean," the avian continued, "we wear armour in the army, but unless you're trying to protect yourself, why would you? Is it because you don't have any hair? Do you get too cold in winter?" His enthusiasm for the topic was somewhat infectious, and Jason found himself eager to perhaps impart some knowledge on his new friend.

"Well, yeah, that's one reason," he explained, "but it's also for... modesty reasons. Humans have... how do I say this... more visible... uh... equipment." He blushed a bit, but Raal only looked eager to learn. He'd never suspected a 'rich gryphon' from District 1 would want to know so much about humans, or knew so little already.

"I see," Raal pondered quietly, rubbing the carpet with an idle claw, "I suppose our fur provides a natural covering to such things. I..." He paused, and then shook his head, letting that thick mane bounce with his movement. Looking up at the human sitting on the bed, he glanced at the door and then at the window.

"Can I see?" the young gryphon practically whispered, and Jason's eyes widened in surprise at the sudden request. He saw the startled look in the human's eyes and quickly shook his head.

"I... I mean, I just wanted to know what humans look like," he stammered as Jason's cheeks burned red, "I haven’t seen... like... I'm just curious. S... sorry, was that inappropriate?" The man could see the gryphon trying to awkwardly apologize and managed to get over the initial shock of such a blunt request.

"You can't just go asking humans to see their... their genitals," Jason quickly explained, still feeling the embarrassment in his cheeks, "we're... private about things like that." Raal huffed apologetically and shook his head.

"Sorry, I..." he tried to explain with a sweep of his wing, "We are too, I forgot myself. I... I'm just curious about... like... human culture and stuff..." He sighed and lowered his beak. "It's just nice to be away from home with... with someone who doesn't expect anything from me." Jason smiled reassuringly and leaned in a little closer.

"Don't worry about it, I'm sure there's loads we could learn from each other," he consoled, and reached out to place a hand on the gryphon's wing. He saw Raal's gaze snap to him as he brushed it, those keen avian eyes focusing firmly. He pulled back hesitantly, not wanting to anger him.

"It's okay," Raal reassured, "just wasn't expecting that. Have you ever touched gryphon feathers before?" Shaking his head, the student reached back out and placed his fingers on some of the feathers near the wingtip gently. They were incredibly soft, almost downy, and he rubbed over them a little in awe at how nice the texture was.

"They're a bit stiffer further in," the gryphon explained eagerly, "firm bristles for flight, soft for insulation." It was interesting to Jason, who hadn't considered wings much before. A moment passed quietly between the pair, before Jason pulled his hand back and slowly got to his feet.

"How about this," he told Raal with a little more confidence, "if you promise never to tell anyone, I'll take off all my clothes and let you see anything you're interested in for yourself. But then you've got to do the same for me, what do you say?"

"I don't have clothes though..." Raal replied, but he sat up more, assuredly interested in the offer. None of his classmates had seen a human without clothes before, he was sure if it.

"Well, I mean..." Jason stammered, bravado failing him, "just let me touch your claws, paws, feathers and fur and whatnot then? Humans don't grant any of that stuff."

"Deal," Raal agreed, slowly stretching out his limbs. "I won't tell anyone, promise." Jason could feel a little adrenaline running through his body as he grasped his school shirt and began to pull it over his head and off. The gryphon sitting on the floor beside him watched in interest as his bare chest was revealed; nothing too impressive overall as his teenage torso came into view. He was reasonably fit from regular sports at school, but mainly because he didn't have the money to eat lavishly.

Tossing the shirt aside he was left sitting on the edge of his bed with school pants on. He could feel those avian eyes scrutinising him closely, leaving him feeling a little flustered as he began to slide his pants down to his ankles. As his belt hit the floor, he watched as the gryphon's claw gently hooked around it and slid the pants a few feet away to the side. Left sitting. In his tan underwear, he saw Raal's gaze turn to his groin intently. He'd never imagined he'd be stripping down to satisfy the curiosity of a gryphon classmate, but since it wasn't another human it didn't feel quite so inappropriate.

With his fingers under the band he pushed his underwear down and off his feet in the same way he'd done with his pants, kicking them aside as he sat naked on his bed. Bashfully, he placed his left palm back on the bedsheets and with his right hand he reached down and tussled his own balls in front of his friends.

"There," he said with red cheeks, "that's what humans look like. It's... all on display when we don't wear clothes." Raal nodded quietly, trying not to make the situation more awkward for his fellow student.

"I see," the avian remarked, "you can tell how big it is too like this..." Jason shook his head, perhaps too quickly, and gestured down at himself.

"It gets bigger," he defended himself with even redder cheeks, "it's soft right now... I'm about seven inches long when... when it's hard." Raal nodded quietly, taking it in from his spot on the floor.

"What's the... loose skin on the tip, then?" the hybrid inquired, and Jason reached down and pulled his foreskin back, revealing a plump glans beneath.

"It's a foreskin," he explained, "it protects the sensitive head." He could hardly believe he was explaining the various elements of his cock to a young gryphon, but it was certainly one of the moment interesting things to happen to him in the past few years. Raal looked around his penis a bit more, satisfying his curiosity for human reproductive traits, before nodding.

"It all looks so smooth and... neat," the larger male commented quietly, "gryphons are a lot more... complex? It's hard to explain." He slowly got up from his place on the carpet, standing on his feet and claws as he gazed down at his naked friend.

"Would you mind making some room on your bed? If you're going to look at me now, it would be better for me not to be on the floor." Nodding, Jason quickly stood up and off the bed, looking at Raal with brief concern.

"I... uh... it's not a very big bed," he cautioned, and Raal chuckled as he carefully sprawled out on top of the sheets. He was careful not to nick any of them with his razor-sharp talons, instead using his soft hind paws to manoeuvre himself on top. It was a bad fit, with much of his body hanging off one edge or another. Jason watched with concern as the mattress springs creaked under the weight of the big lion-bird, but they held.

"What do you want to look at first?" Raal asked excitedly, "I've never had a human look at me like this before." Jason smiled, although he still felt rather exposed, standing there beside the bed in the nude.

"Well..." he pondered, "can I... see your claws?" Raal nodded, shuffling a little so he could push one of his forelegs out to the man before him. Jason felt his heart rate increase a little as he saw those wicked talons, reminding him how easy it would be for a gryphon to slice him open. Still, he gingerly reached out and ran his fingers over those golden-yellow claws and realized how leathery the scaly skin there felt to touch.

"I kind of thought it would be rock hard," he admitted, and Raal chuckled with a shadow of his head.

"They wouldn't flex if they were," he explained, "just watch the tips, they were kind of designed to dig into skin." That sent a small shiver up Jason's spine, and he tried not to think too hard about the fact that many decades ago, before the arrival of King Talos and his ideals, humans had been the natural prey of wild gryphons. He took his time, feeling how those impressive claws felt under his touch, giving them a light squeeze here and there before feeling a little way up that foreleg where the scales grew harder and more keratin-like. After a few minutes of that he pulled back and nodded.

"We really are nothing alike," he noted with a smile, "but it's nice to just... I dunno, be able to learn about each other with nobody around." Raal nodded in agreement and licked over his beak.

"Humans are fascinating," he admitted, "I've been so sheltered from them in District 1, and even at school they all keep their distance. Aside from being... like... smaller, and weaker, and slower... and without any natural weapons... no flight... no insulation..." He paused, seeing the indignant look on Jason's face.

"We're... uh... not so different on the inside?" the gryphon finished apologetically, and Jason sighed, but with a small chuckle. He couldn't really deny it, but it was still a little rude to point it out.

"And here I thought you were really nice," he teased, and Raal gave him a beaky grin.

"Anything else you're keen to know about me, then?" the young gryphon asked, and Jason considered it for a moment.

"Since you're so superior," he continued to tease, "how big are you down there then?" He felt his cheeks reddening even as he spoke the request, and tried to clarify.

"I mean," Jason continued with a blush, "I've heard wild lions aren't that... that big, so..." Raal smirked and rolled a little further onto his side, trying not to fall off the back of the bed as he did so.

"Luckily, I'm not a lion," the gryphon told him flatly, lifting up his hind leg a little to reveal himself to the naked human. His gaze following the curve of the healthy young gryphon's gut, Jason's eyes widened and his cheeks burned a furious shade of crimson as he realised what he was seeing.

Raal was anything but small.

Jason's eyes widened as he first saw the young gryphon's grapefruit-sized testicles, contained within a thinly-furred scrotum that simply draped over his inner thigh as he lay upon the human's bed. They shimmered slightly in the dim light of his room, the fur still oily with the teen gryphon's sweat from his earlier sport and the walk to Jason's house. He was so surprised by how big the avian's orbs were that it took him a moment to register the thick, furred tube that jutted out from above them.

It took him a moment to realize the gryphon had a sheath, much like some of the local dogs he'd seen about. It was covered in a similarly short, oily-looking fur that ran all the way from the small black slit at the tip down to where it connected to his groin. The more he stared, the more impressive it all looked; with the sheath already a decent four or five inches long, he could only imagine how well-endowed his young gryphon friend really was if he decided to firm up a little.

"You alright?" Raal asked, snapping Jason out of his intense staring. He was shockingly flustered, and a little embarrassed by just how small he felt in comparison, even if he was above average for a guy his age.

"Y... yeah," Jason responded awkwardly, "man... you're... that's a lot." Raal chuckled and reached down, brushing over his sheath with a claw to make it bounce slightly.

"I'm a big gryphon for my age," the hybrid explained, "but I've never measured it or anything." A noticeably musky scent was filling the air near the bed, and Jason realized he was smelling the gryphon's balls from a few feet away. He inhaled deeply without thinking, before quickly exhaling at he remembered himself. The scent clung to him regardless, and he noticed Raal was still staring at him. Looking back down, he watched a single bead of sweat roll off the side of that leathery sack.

"Think you've seen enough?" Raal asked quietly, "can't hold my leg up like this forever." Jason nodded, and that thigh thumped back down, hiding his package from view. Looking back down, he realized he'd unknowingly sprouted half of an erection and he moved his hands down to cover up.

Raal didn't seem to have noticed, preening his feathers a little before gazing back at his friend. "Just gotta find the right gryphon for me and I'll have somewhere to put it, eventually," the avian smirked, seeing the man's hands in front of his groin.

"Something the matter?" he asked, and Jason shook his head, slightly embarrassed.

"Just got a little... hard, couldn't help it," he admitted bashfully, "now you know why we wear clothes." Raal chuckled in amusement and shook his head.

"It happens to all of us," the larger male reassured him. Jason nodded in agreement, and knelt down beside the bed so he wasn't showing off his lower half.

"Anything else you're interested in while in here?" the gryphon asked once more, and Jason shook his head.

"I think we've seen enough for today, don't you?" the man replied with a small grin, "but man... I feel pretty inadequate compared to you. You're so damn big... How do you not make a mess when you... you know, let off some steam?" The gryphon cocked his head a little in confusion.

"What do you mean?" he asked, and Jason paused for a moment.

"Do I have to spell it out?" he asked with red cheeks, "you know... jerk off. Masturbate." Raal gazed at him for a moment, and then slowly extended one of those golden-yellow claws once more.

"I think that might be a human concept," the young hybrid remarked, "sharp claws and beaks aren't very good for... delicate work." It took a moment for Jason to realize that the gryphon was telling him that he couldn't pleasure himself.

"Wait..." the man whispered in surprise, "you've never..." The revelation caught him off-guard; as a healthy teenager, jerking off was a pretty normal thing. He couldn't believe that Raal, this rich, polite gryphon from District 1 hadn't got his rocks off before. The gryphon seemed amused by his surprise.

"Do humans normally do that?" he inquired, and Jason nodded quickly.

"I mean, yeah," he admitted, "man... I had no idea. So... you have to find a lover first before you can... can blow your load for the first time?" Raal confirmed it with a nod, leaving Jason both stunned and a little better educated than he'd been minutes beforehand. Kneeling on the carpet, the student looked back down the length of the gryphon's large body to where those muscular thighs hid his endowments from view.

"Haven't you wondered what it feels like?" Jason inquired with a wave of his hand, and the avian nodded.

"Yeah, but like I said before, I'm not really interested in most of the gryphons nearby. Besides, most gryphons mate for life; if I hook up with some girl from school... It's a lot of responsibility. I'm not ready for that yet." The gryphon huffed at the thought of it, and Jason nodded his head quietly. He hadn't thought about that element of it; he knew from class about most gryphons bonding with one lover for life, a deep, chemical interaction that occurred when gryphons mated. Little was known about how it worked, but for that reason gryphons were much more hesitant to commit to intimacy than humans were.

"Man... that kinda sucks," Jason remarked, shaking his head. A somewhat awkward silence passed between them, with Raal shuffling forward a little on the bed and Jason considering if he should pit his clothes back on. Raal looked at the human intently, thinking about their conversation with amusement; he'd certainly not expected their study session to turn into such a private get together. Still, he found himself enjoying the human's company, and the time away from District 1 in a humbler apartment.

Jason, on the other hand, found himself filled with thoughts he'd never had before. Kneeling at the side of his own bed, with the large body of a gryphon sprawled excessively across it, and that thick, musky scent of a teenage male gryphon filling his room, he found himself feeling... nervous. Not because he was scared of the oversized gryphon and his even more terrifying father, but the fact that he didn't trust himself not to speak the next words that came out of his mouth.

"Raal..." he nearly stammered on his own words, "d... do you want to know what it feels like?" He watched those piercing eyes flick back down to his own, that large beak leaning closer. His face flushed with heat from his own question, as the larger male exhaled quietly. The gryphon was just as surprised by the query, but before he could open his beak and sensibly turn down the offer, he found his voice caught in his throat.

"I..." the gryphon began, hesitating. What did he really want? He was laying in the human's bed, with the human naked on the floor beside it, and he'd never really felt so relaxed before. The sensible part of his young gryphon mind knew the cultural issues behind doing anything sexual with a human, but the teenage part of his horny young brain was eager to know what it felt like to be stimulated between his legs. He could see the embarrassed expression on Jason's features, both of them unsure about what they were doing, or what they should do next. After a moment of thought, Raal shook his mane a little and gazed over at his new friend. Was the human trying to start something more than just a friendship? Why would he offer that?

"Why?" escaped his beak, and Jason looked down at the sheets.

"I don't know," the man replied quietly, "I just... thought you might... like it." Looking at the awkward young human beside him, Raal took a small breath and sighed.

"Alright," he agreed finally, "but... this stays between us, okay? Nobody can know." Jason looked up in surprise, and swallowed nervously as he nodded in acceptance of that condition.

"Same for you," Jason warned, "especially your dad..." Raal chuckled a little, but nodded as well. Still red in the cheeks, the student got off his knees beside the bed and shuffled down to the other end where Raal's muscular hindquarters lay. Adrenaline coursed through him as he thought about what he was going to do, with no experience or knowledge to guide him through the process of helping jerk off a large gryphon. He didn't even know why he'd made the offer; just a few hours ago he'd never even met the beast, and now here he was giving up his bed for the gryphon to lay on, and now he was going to give him a handjob. It was surreal, and he couldn't deny how exciting it was.

"You're a lot bigger now..." Raal commented, his line of sight directing Jason's down to his own mostly-erect penis. The human's uncut length was seven inches long when fully firmed up, and he realized by standing up he'd put it all on display. Already flustered, he didn't bother covering it up with his hands like he had previously.

"Yeah, that's about as big as it gets," he admitted with a small laugh, "hardly gryphon-sized though. I can't help it getting hard." Raal's beak pulled back in a smile as he gave that smooth human cock a decent look over. Despite the differences to his own, he found those differences exotic and intriguing rather than undesirable. Before he could think much more on it, Jason tapped his leg gently.

"Mind lifting up?" he requested, "can't do much with your leg like that." Obligingly, Raal rolled over a little more onto his back, resting his large head against the headboard of the human's bed and letting his large hind legs flop down to either side. Jason stared for a second time at the gryphon's package, his eyes drawn to how big those heavy-looking balls were and the chubby sheath that was flopped over them. This time, however, he spotted a little hint of red poking out from that dark black slit.

"I'm not the only one," he chuckled as he looked at the gryphon's plumped up pouch. He was becoming more and more comfortable around the avian with every passing moment, even if in his mind he was unsure how things continued to progress like this. Raal was a gryphon, and one of much higher social standing than himself. He couldn't believe the teen hybrid was letting him do this, or that he'd even made the request in the first place. He'd never had any interest in human guys... yet here he was thinking of giving a feral gryphon a hand job. Did he really feel that sorry for him not getting off before?

His hesitation was clear on his face, and Raal looked at him with concern.

"We don't have to if you don't want to," the larger male reassured, "I'm not going to hold it against you if you don't. I've just enjoyed hanging out with you." He smiled at the human, who knelt down on the end of the bed and shuffled forward a little until he was between those dinner plate-sized hind paws. The smell of the gryphon's musk filled his lungs, and he breathed it to soothe his nerves. He was really going to do it... going to put his hands on a gryphon's dick and stroke him to completion. The whole thing seemed like a bad idea.

"I want to," he replied instead, and reached out to wrap one hand around that supple sheath. As his fingers closed around it the reaction was immediate, with Raal letting out a small squawk as he was touched between his legs for the first time. Jason felt the light coating of oily gryphon sweat in that short fur sinking between his fingertips as he took Raal's fleshy tube in his grasp, eyes widening at how warm and damp it felt.

In his excitement, Raal's glossy crimson length pushed another inch and a half free of its enclosure, a thick bead of precum bubbling out of his urethra and back down to pool against his sheath opening. Jason stared at the slick flesh of the gryphon's penis, already looking wet and lubricated despite having used none. He could feel a throb underneath his fingertips, and watched as that translated into another inch pressing out into the open air.

"Does that feel good?" he asked, cheeks red as he gazed into those piercing blue avian eyes. A short, nod and a huff of eager breath was what he got in return as he began to tenderly use his fingers to knead and squeeze the fur of the gryphon's silky soft sheath.

"I can't believe I'm letting a human touch me down there," Raal huffed, but his body language indicated that he wasn't really complaining. With his thick avian thighs spread wide he was entirely on display for the curious human he'd just met and studied with, and he still didn't really know why. That hand was feeling really nice though...

Jason couldn't keep the redness out of his face, a flood of thoughts flowing through his mind as that glossy red gryphon dick got larger and larger with every squeeze of that thick fleshy tube that contained it. How big was Raal going to get? Why was it so slick and shiny? What's his father going to do if he finds out? What would my friends think if they knew?" He was so preoccupied by his own worry that he didn't realize that the sheath was being bunched up in his grip.

Looking back down he let go and watched as a thick bulge of flesh at the base of his friend's ten-inch-long erection pushed the sheath right up against his groin, nearly tucking it away. Now fully exposed, Raal's endowment painted an impressive picture. He was nearly as thick at the base as Jason's fist, with a thick coating of slick-looking lubricants on its surface from that big bulge at the base to the rather pointed, bumpy-looking tip. A thick, dull blue vein ran down the underside of that otherwise crimson shaft, and a single, bubbling drop of pre-cum rolled down the length to catch in his sheath fur below.

"Holy shit..." Jason muttered, looking up to see what looked like a smirk on the gryphon's features. There was nothing remotely human about that sizeable red gryphon dick, and it only further reinforced how taboo what he was doing really was. Raal didn't feel the need to comment on his own size; it was easily apparent who was the bigger male. The smell of it all was getting to him, too; rich teenage gryphon musk and sweat that muddled his ability to make rational decisions.

"Do... do you still want to help me?" the young hybrid asked hesitantly, and Jason swallowed nervously. His own penis was still hard between his legs and yet doubt clouded his mind. He couldn't do this... He shouldn't do this... It was wrong...

"I'd really... like to feel it..." Raal almost whispered, "I want to know what... what your hands feel like on... on my cock." It seemed like an innocent plea but the way the young bird had so needily asked, had Jason flustered to his core. He saw those eyes looking into his own; eager, needy, flooded with horny teenage desire. And it sounded so, so dirty when he said 'cock' like that...

With the young gryphon's huge body sprawled across his tiny bed, Jason only really had room to kneel on the edge between those powerful hindlegs and. Scooting forward a little, his knees tucked up against that furred rump as he reached down and curled his left palm around that thick bulge at the bottom of that turgid shaft. Raal squawked in surprise at the very first thing to touch his bare penis, being the hand of this human that he'd spent the afternoon with.

Jason held it moderately firmly, feeling the organ almost flex right out of his grip as Raal's muscles tensed in response to his contact. It felt so hot to touch, so lively under his digits, and he could feel whatever that slick, lubricating substance was that coated its surface clinging to his skin messily. His free right hand joined his left, this time curling around the narrower middle of that impressive length. As his fingers failed to close around it, he realised that aside from the very tip, Raal was much, much girthier than himself.

He felt that thick vein pulse against the underside of his fingers, letting him know just how much rich, arousal-fuelled blood was being delivered to that rigid spire. It was intimidating to feel just how strong the gryphon's erection was; much like the rest of Raal, he was certainly inferior in that department.

"H... how does it feel?" Raal asked sheepishly, and Jason blushed.

"Hot..." he replied, and then quickly corrected, "like... temperature hot. And stiff..." He slowly slid his hand up from the middle of his friend's erection to the very tip, where he used the tips of his fingers to gently squeeze those little nubs coating the glans.

"Do you know what... what these are for?" he asked, and Raal shook his head bashfully. He'd never thought that much about his own endowment, given that it was usually tucked away in that sheath.

"No idea," Raal replied unhelpfully, "but... huff... it feels good when you're... rubbing them like that." Jason felt a small smile creep onto his face, pleased that he was doing well, even if he had no idea what he was doing. The longer this went on, the more comfortable he felt with his new friend, and the more he trusted him.

He explored those nubs gently with his thumb, lightly pushing against the from the side and stroking over them from the tip. Each time he moved, he could feel the gryphon's body reacting to his attentions and hear the little changes in the young hybrid's breathing. When he reversed the direction and brushed from underneath however, he felt those nubs raise a little higher and cause some friction over his digit. Raal let out an audible moan, his paws curling a little and a thick bubble of fluid oozed from his urethra and rolled down the back of Jason's left knuckles.

He began to rub his thumb in circles over those little barbs, feeling the resistance they gave when he pressed against them upwards, and how they flattened when he moved downwards. He surmised that they were for providing extra pleasure when pulling out, and for smooth entry when thrusting in to a female gryphon, or something along those lines. Either way, it seemed to drive Raal to trembles when he played with them like he presently was.

He formed his thumb, index and middle fingers into a ring and encircled the gryphon's cocktip, giving it a light squeeze before pushing down towards the middle of that oversized gryphon cock. He only made it a third of the way down before his fingers couldn't touch, and so he slid back up and repeated the motion. With his left hand still firmly grasping that thick bulge at the very base, he held his friend's penis firmly and stroked the upper half with gentle, but firm motions.

He'd only ever had his own cock to masturbate with, and so he looked for any signs that he was doing a good job handling a gryphon's rather unusual breeding organ. It was a job for two hands, given how impressively endowed the teen gryphon was, and Jason eventually let go of the base of Raal's gryphonhood to work both of them up and down that slick length. The precum drooling down the side coated Jason's fingers and squelched between them as he jerked the gryphon off, filling the small room with a lewd squelching as he sped up.

Raal watched him work quietly, not wanting the human to stop, or to cause him any undue embarrassment. Despite having only really just met, the horny young gryphon was having the time of his life with his new bipedal friend. Jason was polite, friendly and smart, and he hadn't really given humans enough of a chance previously to really find that out for himself. Not to mention how useful those hands were...

"Is... is this okay?" Jason asked anxiously, and Raal nodded quickly.

"It does," he practically purred, "I never knew how good hands were... you must... huff... do this every day..."

"I mean... every now and then," Jason lied, averting his gaze, "it's normal for us." Raal chuckled quietly before exhaling in quiet pleasure. He could feel both sets of fingers kneading and massaging his shaft with every stroke, and the sensation was utterly delightful. How on earth hadn't more gryphons hadn't found a human to try this with, he pondered. Jason was clearly trying to keep things interesting, switching from purely stroking up and down to applying a little more pressure here and there, playing with the tip, and rubbing his thumb along that thick vein.

"Could you please... squeeze that bit at the bottom more?" the larger male requested with a small moan, "it felt so good when you were just... holding it." Jason obligingly brought his left hand back down to curl around the thickest part of the gryphon's dick, the almost muscle-like bulge filling his grip like an apple. His right hand continued to pump and down the rest of that heavy shaft, and he applied some pressure to the bulge with a squeeze of good fingertips.

The reaction was instantaneous: a deep groan of pleasure escaped that golden yellow beak while a thick splurt of that sloppy pre shot from gryphon's urethra and splattered down on his furry belly. In his excitement Raal thrust into Jason's hands, back arching slightly as the human handled his knot with a firm grasp. Having not expected such a sudden reaction, Jason angled the penis away from himself so he wouldn't fall victim to the gryphon's sloppy lubricants. His hands were a mess from just got leaky the bird was, but he didn't mind too much seeing how much his fellow student was enjoying himself.

"J... just like that," Raal growled lustily, his toes curling and claws flexing as he controlled himself better, "f... fuck that feels special. I never knew how good it felt..." Enamoured, the teenage gryphon gazed at the human with need. With a firm hold on that knot the human kept up his efforts, feeling a little tired in his arms from the exertion in jacking off an enthusiastic feral gryphon. Still, he was committed now, committed to showing him how good it felt to blow a load.

An almost imperceptible frown crossed Jason's brow as he realised he had no idea just what he was getting himself into if he finished Raal off. Thinking about it, he considered the possibility that the already messy hybrid might make more of a mess than he'd planned for if he kept things up. With only sheets and carpet surrounding the bed, he hoped dearly that the gryphon's orgasm would fit reasonably across his own furry underbelly.

As his gaze shifted lowered to those grapefruit-sized testicles beneath his hands, Jason began to reconsider how wise a decision he'd made. Raal was nothing like him, and he'd forgotten to account for that particular difference. Still, he knew if he stopped now it would be one of the worst things he could do to the big bird. Raal had placed so much trust in him to teach him what it felt like to let loose that he couldn't deny that opportunity now.

He doubled down on his efforts, groping that sizeable knot while his other hand pumped that sloppy shaft with rapid strokes. He'd been kneeling between those muscular legs for over ten minutes now, and he was planting slightly from just how much he was putting into working that large shaft. Raal grunted, huffed and moaned every now and then in response, relishing in his first true experience of sexual pleasure while the bed beneath him creaked in protest at the heavy beast squirming on its surface.

The smell in his room had been entirely taken over by the warm musky stench of his guest, the gryphon's potent odour filling the enclosed space and leaving the human to inhale it with every breath. He had to admit it was intoxicating, without having a clue why he found the smell of sweaty gryphon so... comforting. Pushing it from his mind, he leaned a little further forward and really put his arms to work.

"I can... huff... feel... something..." Raal groaned through a clenched beak, his hind paws curling as a deep, sensation started to build up in his groin. Jason smiled at him, keeping his pace consistent, not wanting to ruin the first orgasm of the gryphon's life. He had absolutely no idea how he was going to be able to look his new friend in the eye at school tomorrow, but there wasn't any going back.

It only took another minute before Raal couldn't hold back anymore, Jason's dutiful hands stroking his cock and kneading his knot with inexperienced but enthusiastic motions that finally brought the big beast to his peak.

"F... fuck... Jason!" Raal practically squawked as his balls tensed up and his cock hardened like iron in the human's grip. His left hand was forced open wider as that reasonably large knot of flesh swelled significantly larger, the gryphon's knot inflating to its real size as blood flowed to his overstimulated penis. Realizing what was about to happen, Jason panicked briefly as he glanced about the room for something to perhaps contain the gryphon's orgasm, but it was far too late.

A thick surge of pent-up young gryphon semen travelled up from the gryphon's huge balls, through the middle of that thick cock and out the tip of that yawning urethra with enough force to arch through the air and land with a sloppy splatter all over the top of Jason's short, dark brown hair. Raal whimpered in pleasure as his backed-up testicles unloaded their contents, with rope after rope of sperm-rich gryphon cum erupting from his twitching cock like a geyser and coating everything within reach with his genetic material. Jason simply sat there, stunned, with one hand on the gryphon's throbbing shaft to try and steady the organ while his other hand tried to keep Raal's gooey load out of his eyes.

Again and again the young gryphon came, his teenage balls eager to dump eighteen years’ worth of boiling, bubbling bird batter all over himself, Jason, and Jason's bed and floor. It was an absolute mess, and one that did not slow down without a significant showing of how prolific a breeder the young male truly was. Horrified, the human could only sit there as he watched that rock-hard erection spurt pungent ropes of creamy, off-white ejaculate. After what felt like half a minute, Raal's cock gave its last few dribbling spurts before he came down from the incredible high of his first orgasm.

As his glassed-over eyes focused once more Real looked down in complete embarrassment at what he'd done. Carried away in the pure pleasure of the moment, he'd made a complete and utter mess of his new friend, himself, and his friends’ apartment. Fresh white sperm caked Jason's head, torso and groin, and he flushed brightly as he watched a chunk of his own thick load drip off the side of the human's hard cock.

"S... sorry!" he quickly stammered, "I... I didn't mean to make such a mess..." He shuffled in the bed, looking over at all the semen he'd shot on the floor, and dripping down the side of the human's bedsheets. With a quick glance back at Jason, he looked down sheepishly. "It felt really good though... I had no idea... I'm so sorry about the mess... I've never felt anything so good... Your hands..." He watched as his classmate wiped cum from his brow and blushed red beneath his feathers.

"Don't worry about it," Jason muttered as he stepped back off the bed and tried not to think about how disastrous it had been for his room. His sheets were ruined, his carpet was a mess, and his naked body was coated in the seed of another male, and a gryphon at that. Still...

"It's not your fault," Jason sighed, looking down to see that Raal's cock had softened, and was slowly retreating back into his sheath. Blushing, he looked down to see gryphon semen clinging to his own. Heading to the bathroom he grabbed a towel off the rack and returned. Kneeling, he tried to get it off the carpet, but the gryphon's load only sank further into the fibres each time he tried to wipe it up. A deep stain appeared wherever he tried, and he groaned as he thought about the fact that his apartment was going to smell like gryphon cum for months.

"I'm really sorry, truly," the gryphon apologized again, and Jason tossed the dirty towel look into his laundry basket. Looking back at the gryphon, he exhaled quietly and shook his head.

"Did you enjoy that?" he asked, and Raal nodded honestly.

"It was incredible," the young gryphon told him eagerly, "I never knew it could feel that good. I'm so jealous of your hands." Jason managed a smile and reached out to pat a clean part of the avian's paunch.

"I'm glad, really," Jason told him, "I'm just not sure how to... fix my room." Raal looked crestfallen for a moment, before his eyes widened.

"I know!" he cut in suddenly, "I'll just pay for a cleaner." Jason looked at him and chuckled.

"What, just like that?" he asked.

"Yeah," Raal explained, "I've got money dad doesn't know about. I'll just pay off a professional cleaner to keep quiet." Jason laughed; he'd forgotten just how wealthy a place his gryphon classmate came from. Still, it didn't solve the problem immediately. Grabbing another towel, Jason helped his friend clean up and then wiped himself down as well. The cum had been cooling on his skin, feeling a lot less comfortable as he used the towel to scrape it off.

Getting to his feet, Raal rolled off the bed with a loud creaking of the springs and slowly lay himself down on the floor.

"Your bed is... mostly clean," the gryphon noted, "since I was covering most of it. I'll sleep on the floor and you can have it back." Jason nodded, chuckling as he saw a glob of gryphon jizz staining the pillow. Turning it over to the other side, he sighed again and looked over at the lion-bird on his floor. Despite the messy ending, he'd... enjoyed showing Raal what that kind of pleasure felt like. What did that make him? Did he like the gryphon more than just a curious handjob? What would anyone think if they found out.

"Thank you for tonight," Raal interrupted his thoughts, "I did not expect things to... go so far, but I'm glad we got to study and hang out together." A small silence passed between them, and Jason nodded.

"We should... probably not talk about this to anyone at school," he added and Jason nodded more firmly.

"Yeah, that would be a bad idea," he agreed, "but I'm glad you had fun. I never thought I'd spend a night jerking off a gryphon." He laughed, and Raal joined in. Sitting down on his bed, Jason tested the middle of the sheets for stray semen but they were clear. Laying down, he placed his head on the pillow and looked up at the ceiling.

"Better get some sleep," Jason remarked, and time beast beside him nodded in agreement.

"I feel exhausted after today," the larger male agreed, laying down and placing his head on the soft carpet. "All that excitement and we've still got a test tomorrow." Jason groaned audibly and closed his eyes over, his thoughts invaded with images of that thick gryphon spire in his hands. The smell on his apartment was thick and musky, and he couldn't help but think about all that had transpired. What would happen tomorrow? Could things go back to normal after this? Did he want them to? Did Raal want them to? A thousand questions swirled in his mind, and he knew he wasn't going to sleep well.

"Goodnight Jason, I'll see you in the morning."

"Goodnight Raal."
