Hefting the other mecha up over his sweat soaked head with Dehak's robotic arms Red shifted the controls and then tossed the other machine with all his might and sent it several yards through the air. The red caninu watched as the other mecha crashed to the ground of the arena with a resounding slam and then plume with red and black smoke. The felineko that had been piloting the mecha came out covered in black soot several seconds later and then collapsed to a heap onto the ground, colder than the first frost from a winter storm.

It took the crowd several seconds to register what had just happened but once the surrounding feline and canine men and women did they erupted with roaring cheers for Red's victory. Flicking his ears and then puffing out his chest Red stood up from the control seat and then gave his characteristic howl while wagging his short red tail behind himself excitedly. Pumping his fist into the air and then looking around him Red watched as long lines of multicolored streamers went flying through the air as familiar faces waved and nodded at him amongst the crowd. Both friends and family were praising his victory and that made it even sweeter since he knew that this victory wasn't just for him.

Months of training had gone into winning this competition and as Red stood victorious amongst the rest he felt the excitement of the gathered onlookers surging through his veins and lighting his blood on fire.

"And here he is folks, the winner of this year's championship Shepherd title, the lone robot rider RED!" The green striped felineko announcer exclaimed making the surrounding cats and dogs go even wilder as they applauded the hero of the battlefield.

Red stood up in Dehak for several more minutes before plopping himself back into the command seat and then piloting his mecha out of the arena back to the register's room. Red turned an eye to see some of the medic staff rushing out along with several mechanics to go and see about his opponent from inside of the darkened hallway where the other had come from. Knowing that he hadn't caused any serious injuries Red nevertheless turned his head to watch as the other mecha rider got hefted up and then carried off on a stretcher while his mecha was inspected for damages. Looking down at Dehak's controls Red thought that maybe it was time to give his own machine sometime off since he had been pushing Dehak harder than usual in the last couple of months.

Getting back to the register's room Red left Dehak in the hands of the mechanics on deck and then watched as several figures came out of the arena stands towards him. It was times like these that made Red so glad he had someone to share his victories with as one pink haired felineko charged up to him and then reached out to hug him around the waist. Picking the smaller felineko up and spinning around Red nuzzled close into his sister's neck, breathing in her strawberry scent and revealing in the security that came with knowing he was cherished, before placing her back onto her feet and staring down into her brightly shimmering eyes.

"Congratulations Red!" Chocolat congratulated before moving to the side as another felineko came up to her older brother and then squashed herself into him.

This new feline was much shorter than Red and his sister but no less important with her dark purple hair and gray tailored clothing wrapped around her petite frame.

"Red, you won. I'm so proud of you." The purple felineko stated in her usual calm manner while rubbing her face into the caninu's stomach. No one could see it put she had tears in her eyes, whether of excitement of relief no one could say since they disappeared just as soon as they appeared into Red's shirt and washboard abs.

"Thanks Elh. It got a little tense there for a minute but I was able to pull it off!" Red puffed himself up some and then smiled down with his favorite chewy bone stuck between the edges of his teeth. Red having whipped it out from where he placed it up underneath the dashboard of Dehak's control panel and stuck it between his fangs while fighting to give himself a bit more physical confidence.

Elh was about to say something when someone else interjected and placed themselves right next to the caninu.

"Sir Red, it was a pleasure to see you once again win victory in the arena." A pretty golden caninu female said while curtsying in her flowing pink dress.

"Thanks Terria." Red blushed as he watched the princess of Prairie smile at him in that funny way that made his stomach flutter before reaching up to rub the side of his face with a finger and scratch at his suddenly very itch cheek. Besides him Red was completely unaware that Elh was glowering at both him and said princess, jealousy flaring in the short felineko's eyes like jade fire before she squelched it.

A heavy body crashed into Red's back next making the caninu stumble forward. On instinct Red narrowed his eyes and scowled in readiness to growl at the other before he felt the world shift and then he was placed into a headlock by a pair of short furred strong arms and then crushed face first into a familiar vermillion vest.

"Red, buddy, I can't believe you won this year's championship title! Man you are just way too strong! If this keeps up I'm going to have to start training under you!"

"Thanks Calua, but do you mind? I can't really breathe through your vest down here." The felineko in question suddenly released the caninu and then stepped back to give the other some breathing room before shutting his eyes in embarrassment and then scratching at his chin.

"Sorry 'bout that."

"No problem and thanks again. It was a tough fight but it was worth it to get the title this year." Red watched as the spiky red haired felineko bobbed his head at him before moving aside as someone else walked up and greeted him.

"However, that just means that next year the challengers are going to be even more eager to beat the legendary Red Savarin. You should make sure that you train well if you want to keep your title." A gentlemanly white caninu wearing a blue samurai uniform and sword at his hilt said while holding out his hand to Red in an offer of congratulations.

"I know Gren. I hope next year I get a chance to take you and Calua on. I want to make sure that this wasn't some chance fluke, if you know what I mean?" Red accepted the hand and shook it with more force than necessary but that only made the other caninu smile at him while showing off a hint of a fang beneath his lips. The two caninu stared at each other hard for several seconds before releasing their grips and then backing away a few feet.

"We shall see,"

"Meowy. Save it for next time boys." An elegant purple haired felineko said while waving a closed paper fan in front of her face. "Things are just too excitable around here so maybe you both need to save up that energy for some training later on?" The felineko said coyly while smiling at the two rivals from behind her fan once she had opened it.

"Right. Sorry Opera." Red flushed.

"Forgive me lady Opera."Gren bowed to his lady.

"Anyway, I think it's time that we discussed Red becoming a knight in the Prairie kingdom." A top-tier caninu soldier wearing a large custodian helmet fit for his rank said as he walked over to Red.

"For the last time, I'm not joining the knights!" Red growled and bit hard onto his bone while holding his fist up into the air. He was really getting sick of this tired argument, to which the other caninu just waved off before continuing on with his speech.

"Now, now Red I understand that you have things to do here but as the champion of the Shepherd region it must be clear to you that you have exceeded your limitations here and need new borders. Becoming one of the knights of Prairie would give you the opportunity to expand yourself farther than this kingdom and also,"

"Come now Cyan, it's time to return home." Princess Terria said while giving another bow to Red and friends and then walking away.

The knight in question barely had time to look back before he watched the retreating backside of his princess grow smaller in the distance. "Princess, wait! I was just about to get Red to join us! Princess!"

Everyone watched and chuckled as they saw how easily the princess had the knight commander under her heel.

"Wow, I almost feel bad for him." Calua said before shaking his head.

"Meowy, I guess even a princess knows at thing or two about how to make her subordinates do what she wants." Opera said under her breath and behind her fan, smiling all the while as she noted the look Gren was giving her.

"And with that I think it's time for us to get back to the Golden Roar; if you'll excuse us Red." Gren said before bowing and then walking out of the register's room. Following him Opera and Calua turned to smile at Red before walking away leaving only Red, Chocolat and Elh behind.

A yawn came from the caninu's throat before he could stop it and without meaning to Red slowly began to sag in place. Chocolat turned to look at her brother and then smiled bemusedly at him.

"I think it's time we went home too. You look tired."

"I feel tired. Those fights were more than I bargained for." Red said as he rolled his shoulders and popped his spine while reached up for the ceiling.

"Let's get back to the Asmodeus and get you to bed." Elh said while coming around to look at Red. Her presence having totally been overshadowed by everyone else making Red whip his head around to notice her and then nod in embarrassment.

The trio left the room and then headed for where they parked their ship on the deck of the Battle Ship. Dehak would be repaired by the other mechanics and then returned to their ship as a courtesy by the sponsor of the battle arena.

On the deck Red accepted the prize money from the purple top hat wearing felineko sponsor with the long curled whiskers, only to then have it taken by Chocolat for repairs and fuel for the Asmodeus, much to Red's displeasure but at the time he was just too tired to argue. Instead the caninu just slumped and chewed more on his favorite chew bone before being herded back to his ship.

Once on the bridge Chocolat sent Red to take a shower and then off to bed while asking for Elh's help to count up the prize money and then go over finances with her so that this month's bills could be taken care of. The smaller felineko silently accepted this task and went to help Chocolat but not without watching the limp tail belonging to Red wave off towards the cabin area. Red's strong marched tiredly onward without faltering making the felineko smile softly as she thought about the caninu. Elh didn't say anything as she watched Red but in her chest she felt something squeeze down on her heart as she thought about the other right then.

Stripping down with practiced but lazy movements, Red had just enough time to turn on the hot water when he realized that he still had some of his two pieces of clothes on. His fatigue made it so that he barely paid any extra attention to himself when he loosened his flight gear from around his waist and stepped out of his leg hugging pants. Shoes thrown off somewhere to the sides Red's tired brain signaled that he was naked enough to hop into the bathing area without incident however, that didn't stop the heated spray as it came down mercilessly and drenched his undershirt and loin guard but at the moment Red was just too out of it to care.

The caninu leaned back into the titled wall behind him and let the warm water gush over his body while feeling the heat soak into his sore bones and tense muscles. His mind easily floated away from every concern and worry he could have possibly imagine as his tail wagged behind him leisurely as Red spread his arms and then rolled his shoulder blades to pop the bones therein.

It took him several minutes of feeling the hard rain falling against the wet cloth before Red realized that his thoroughly soaked shirt wasn't giving him the full effect of having the hot water massage into his chest and fur Red decided to move. Eyes half way shut the caninu grunted when he felt his muscles tense sharply before he growled and finished unclothing himself.

Reaching down and lifting up his shirt over his head Red wrung the material out and then tossed the soaked cloth out from behind the curtain, somewhere over by door followed by his drenched underwear. Now standing fully naked under the spray, the seventeen year old caninu had a chance to look down at himself and marvel at his furry form and ask himself a question which he had been putting off for a while.

Just what would make a tired doggy howl in the shower when no one else was around?

Lowering a hand down through the fluffy fur of his chest and then past his tight stomach Red sighed to himself as he reached out for his sheath and then held it against the palm of his hand. Slowly stroking himself Red grunted when his other hand followed the first down to wrap around the twin orbs hanging below his sheath and then began to fondle them. Pulling at his balls and then curling his fingers around the head of his peeking tip, Red nearly bit his tongue when he popped a claw into the tip of his cock before pulling it out to rub at the arrow shaped glands. Stroking and pumping himself in time with his heartbeat Red brought himself from his fatigue to a pleasured sense of euphoria that made everything else around him drown itself out into oblivion.

Times like these were when he seriously found it annoying to live with two women, not just because they seemed to always be in the bathroom at odd hours of the day, but because they hogged the shower as if it were their personal spa. There was almost no time for some self-recreation anymore, not with having Elh pop in to check on him every other hour on the hour. The little felineko was a jewel to have around but sometimes a guy just needed to pop one off after a hard day and not have to worry about having someone suddenly sneak in on him like a personal peep show.

Chocolat was at least sharp enough to realize that her older brother needed some time alone but Elh didn't seem to get a clue. Being three hundred something years old did not mean that a person got great wisdom if Elh couldn't see that he just needed some privacy from time to time.

Thank you Chocolat, Red thought to himself as he grit his teeth together as the hard shower water crashed onto his sensitive flesh while he pumped harder along the length of his caninu cock, now almost fully exposed. Red looked down and smirked to himself as he measured his full length to be something around the edges of nine inches long, not including his knot still laid bare at the bottom of his cock. Like him, it was impressive to look at and hard as steel as Red rolled the flesh of his sheath up and down over the lower end while gripping his scrotum hard enough that he yipped and wagged his tail from the bite of pain that flared up his spine.

Panting underneath the spray of water Red licked his lips out as he felt his breath get a little shorter before he turned himself around and then lifted his tail up against the spray. Atleast he could say that he got somewhat clean if Chocolat complained this way. Red smirked before moaning when he wiggled his butt around just the right way and got the blunt of the shower water to spray directly against his twin cheeks and in-between the line that separated them. Hands still stroking himself off Red grunted and humped backwards against the water, fanning his tail so that it could get washed down, before righting himself and then turning back around.

It didn't take much longer before his cock was hard and drooling against his abs as Red grunted as while thrusting his hips forward and rocking on the balls of his feet. Thoughts came unbidden to his mind and though he didn't know it Red was finding it harder to not make his preferences known as he imagined hard muscles and firm hands pressing up against his body instead of soft fingers and plentiful bosoms.

This too had been something going on for a long time now as Red felt himself growing more appraising of males than females, especially the caninu brand of males that were well fit and tall enough to look him in the eye. There was just something arousing about a male caninu that was sweaty and smelled like musk and earth that made Red groan and duck his head underneath the shower as he imagine someone else's hand stroking the length of his cock while panting against his ear and nibbling at his neck. Growling and murring in the pit of his throat Red began to huff like Dehak's engine as he pulled at his cock harder and harder, making the long red tube jump and spray clear fluid onto his chest, only to have the water wash it away.

His tail swept the backside of the wall behind him in exaggerated bliss but Red barely paid it any mind as he thrust up into the air faster and faster until he had a hard time even keep track of his hand. Eyes half shut from the pleasure running through him, Red didn't notice it at first but when a single finger suddenly found its way into his puckered tailhole and Red had to bite his bottom lip to keep from crying out as he hissed to himself.

A single digit found its way into the inner depths of his back tunnel and with the help of the shower water matting down the thin fur, Red's finger sunk deep into his ass and pressed up against a spot inside of him that made his toes curl and claws scrap against the tiles. Pulling out for a second and then readjusting himself to where he could comfortably get two fingers into himself, Red began to finger fuck himself while leaning his front at a forty-five degree angle into the shower.

It felt better than last time as Red remembered when he had been in his bed late one night and gently stroking and fingering himself while laying underneath his covers as the ship floated listlessly through the sky. Growling and huffing Red pumped at himself harder and faster while all out shivering as the pleasure he was giving himself went to new heights. Fingers slipping in and out of himself while the fist tightly closed around his cock brushed up against his growing knot Red gasped in time with every thrust and pull until he was all out fucking himself on the edges of his fingertips.

It felt too good to question and when Gren and Calua appeared in front of his eyes Red didn't stop to think as he found both male caressing and touching him making him come explosively onto the floor of the shower as he wuffed and howled up at the ceiling.

On the bridge Elh looked up in question from where she was going over expense reports as her ears perked and her spine suddenly locked up tight. She thought she heard Red howl but it didn't sound like how the caninu usually made during any other part of the day. Listening to the fading echo Elh blinked somewhat in confusion before turning to look at Chocolat for an answer.

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure Red's just letting off some steam from the fight just now." The pink haired felineko said while manning the controls of the Asmodeus without looking back.

Elh nodded at that but kept one ear on the back of the ship to listen out for Red. Just in case...

Meanwhile, Red was panting and shaking as he lay on the floor of the shower, his knees having given out once his orgasm finished, and panted shallowly while gently pulling his fingers from out of his tail. Looking between his legs and watching as his cock sputtered out a few strings of cum from his tip, only to have it wash down the drain and into oblivion, Red realized that he was seriously going to have to do something about this. Usually he waited until after the girls were asleep to have a moment's privacy unto himself but now his desires were getting to be so bad that he was jacking off in the middle of the day.

He could blame it on the fight and say that the adrenaline still hadn't left his system and made him looser with his restraint, but that would have just been an excuse and Red wasn't one to lay blame on anything else for his own behavior.

Pushing himself to settle on his back against the wall behind him, Red let the water rain down across his panting frame for several more seconds before he reached for the knobs of the shower with his feet and turned the spray off. When the cascading flow suddenly halted it left the caninu sitting there on the tiles while thinking about how in the world he was going to deal with his new feelings.

This had only started some months ago: his fantasies about Gren and Calua having been born during the episode where he had helped the two of them to rescue Opera from the cave-in at the Shetland mines. It was during that desperate time that something inside of Red pulled free from his mind as he watched the two other males go all out to try and find Opera. Gren had especially been in his daydreams as the white caninu looked glorious in Red's eyes as he kept his cool all throughout the mission while Calua had been a cute bundle of worry that exuded raw passion as he worked damned hard to get to where the other felineko was. The two of them, with their faces taunt with concern, eyes blazing with worry and anxiety to find their commanding officer and best friend struck soemthing in Red that made him want to know the two better than he had already.

The fact that he wanted to know what the two of them felt like without clothes on only made it worse since he had been daydreaming about the both of them both with eyes open and closed.

Now after this little incident, Red wasn't sure how long he could keep himself together. Looking down at his cum stained fingers Red reached up to pop one after the other into his mouth and suckle the bitter sweet fluids from off his digits while thinking to himself.

Maybe I should just ask them directly, he thought before shaking that thought away. There was no way that he could go up to Gren and ask the other to take him into his bed and asking Calua...Red didn't think he was ready for that kinda fight yet.

He didn't even know if the other two preferred taking males to their bed and no matter what he thought he may have seen when leaving the two of them after finding Opera Red didn't want to jump to any conclusions that would damage a lasting friendship. Besides, just because he MIGHT have seen Gren hug Opera and Calua nuzzle the latter from behind Red couldn't be sure that it meant anything other than warm affections to a comrade who had been found during tense moments.

Groaning and standing up, slowly at best since his legs were currently on strike, Red decided to go ahead and ask Opera about Gren and Calua's preferences when next they were all together. Shaking himself off, Red let the water from his shower fly all across the shower area before stepping out and grabbing a towel. Whipping the cloth across his back and scrubbing down Red realized that it might be a while before he saw the others, considering that the Kurvaz were still having some issues themselves, so that meant that he had plenty of time to go out and find some things to occupy himself with beforehand.

Maybe old man Quebec knew a thing or two about this sort of thing, Red wondered. Red still wasn't sure what to call it since he hadn't ever had to deal with these kinds of feelings before. The twitching in his tail wasn't doing anything to help as Red felt stirrings of want echo out through his rear as he bit his lip once again and moaned when he ran the towel across his sensitive groin.

Definitely going to have to deal with this soon, he thought before walking and gathering up his wet clothes to take them to the hamper.

Two weeks later found Red finishing up a mission for Merveille, a blonde haired caninu looking scientist, and staggering out from underneath the machine she had him tied up to before collapsing into someone's arms. Red looked up and found himself face to face with a felineko boy with an x-shaped scar running across his face and pale whitish-gray hair spiked up atop his head that was being held back by a red bandana.

"Are you alright?" The felineko asked as Merveille came over to look at Red in concern.

"Y-yeah, just fine Beluga. Heh, I think that took more out of me than I thought it would." Red admitted with his characteristic smirk lining his face before passing out.

"We should get him somewhere so he can rest." Merveille said while looking over the younger caninu with a hint of motherly concern running across her muzzle.

"Alright. I'll carry him to the barracks then." Beluga hefted Red up so that the other was leaning across his shoulder before guiding the steps of the other out of the room.

Once he got Red onto a bed Beluga tucked the other underneath the sheets and then left him to report the operations progress to Opera.

When Red next woke up some hours later he found himself looking into a ceiling that he didn't immediately recognize and slightly growing uncertain of his situation before his memories started to refocus themselves back into some kind of ordered structure. Pulling himself to a sitting position Red looked around in wonder and then scented the air before realizing that he was on the Golden Roar and then that he had just finished a mission for Merveille to test the new machina that she had been tweaking around with. Since he was the only hybrid left in the world, the other two having perished in the events prior at Pharaoh, Red was the only one qualified to undertake said trails. Didn't make them any less of a hassle, he would usually grip but at the moment was too excited to think about his former complaints when he also realized that the opportunity he had been looking for two weeks prior was slapping his head on into the face. Red felt his mouth go dry as his heart began to pound rapidly against his chest as all of his daydreams and nighttime fantasies seemed to come at him all at once and down between his legs his groin felt like it was weighed down by a hundred pounds easy.

Steeling himself Red got up out of bed and stood to his full height the caninu stretched his hands to the ceiling and then wagged his tail behind him before walking out of the room. While not exactly what he had been focused on when he had initially taken the job assignment, Red now had a golden opportunity to talk with Opera about Gren and Calua and wasn't going to spend a second wasting it. Making his way down the hallway and getting directions from a friendly Kurvaz soldier, Red walked with uncertain steps towards Opera's office and the up to her door before raising a hand and tapping at the hardwood.

"Yes?" Came from the other side.

"Uhm, it's me Opera. Do you have a second?" Red had to actually stop himself as he realized just how nervous he sounded.

"I do. Come in, sweetie." The teasing voice of the felineko bay him in and Red reached out to turn the door handle and then pushed the barrier between them forward with as much courage as he could muster.

Stepping into the lavish and well lit office Red had to marvel at all of the finery that Opera put into her place before turning his head to look at the purple haired felineko. Still carrying around that fan of hers with her feet propped up onto her desk the busty felineko waved him over after he shut the door.

"So, what can I do for you, sweetie?" Opera purred while looking at Red as if he were a fish.

"I-I...uhm wanted to ask you something...about Gren and Calua." Red really wished he had his chew bone with him now since it would really distract him from the harsh reality of what he was about to get himself into. He slightly berated himself for leaving it with Dehak as he could have used it to stifle some of his nervousness.

"Oh? What about them?" Feet coming off of the desk Opera sat up in her seat to regard the caninu. Her full attention now on him and her teasing features melting into full on concern and reticence.

"Yeah, you see...I was...wondering if you knew anything about what they liked?"

"What do you mean exactly?"

"Uhm, let's say that there was someone who was interested in them but didn't know how to go about asking the two of them...uhm out for like something to eat...maybe..." Red floundered beautifully and all but flushed into an explosion of color as he scratched the side of his face.

For several seconds Opera said nothing as she looked at Red. Her eyes scanned the other up and down as if trying to find out every little detail she could before she leaned back into her seat in some confusion. "Red sweetie, are you trying to set my Gren and Calua up with your sister?"

"NO! I-I mean no, no. Nothing like that. Let's just say that someone has some interest in them and wanted to get to know the two of them better but was really unsure about how to go about confronting them. What would be the best way to do it?" Red tried to keep his tail from tucking but it was somewhat a lost cause as he stood in front of Opera's desk and his tail slipped out from between his legs against his groin. Thankfully, Red was almost sure Opera couldn't see it.

"Well why don't you ask them instead of me? I'm sure they'd be able to give you a better answer." Opera leaned back and opened her fan to pull it over her face with a smile.

"I...can't do that..." Red whispered.

"Pardon?"

"I said that...uhm...I think it would be better to ask you since I've got you here, after all." Red could almost pat himself on the back for that save.

"Uh huh, ok. Well then, if someone was going to ask out Calua it would be best to be straight forward and honest. While for Gren you would have a better chance to get to him when he's in a good mood."

"Really?"

"Yep, Calua's the type who can best confront things head on. Asking him out to eat would be simple enough while Gren would be a little bit more difficult. Gren's the type who likes to have a good drink and some find food but he can be a prude if you let him. Maybe you should think about going down and asking them out sometime when the two are together."

"Really? You don't think they would mind?" Red asked before realizing that he had been caught when Opera lowered her fan and smiled at him coyly. "I-I mean, not me! Someone else...who...darn..." Red knew he was caught as Opera's smile just got wider.

"Hold that thought, sweetie." Opera leaned over and pressed the intercom on her desk to ring up Gren and Calua's room.

It took several seconds but soon someone picked up on the other end. "Hello?" It sounded like Calua but his voice seemed really scratchy for some reason.

"Calua dear, is Gren with you?" Opera asked and watched as Red all but froze on the spot in front of her. His muzzle caught open against his will while the caninu's eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his head at any moment.

"Yes, here he is."

"Hello, lady Opera. Is everything alright?" Gren's calm voice inquired even as there was a lot of rattling going on in the background.

"Yes. Red's here right now and wants to know if the two of you wouldn't mind going out with him tonight." Opera turned to look and nearly burst out into a laughing fit as the caninu looked like he was going to have a heart attack.

"I'm sorry milady. Can you say that again?" Gren sounded as confused as Red felt and it took Opera a full minute to reply.

"Nevermind, just finish up whatever you and Calua were doing and come to my office, pronto." With that the felineko ended the call and then sat back to look at Red. "You may want to close your mouth now. Though I don't allow it flies do happened to come in at the most inopportune moments. Wouldn't want you to catch any."

Red licked hips lips and swallowed heavily before blinking rapidly. It took his mind a while to actually restart the engines so that he could formulate a coherent thought, but when he did,

"What...just...happened?" Red asked as he wasn't sure he processed everything correctly. The strange feeling in his groin wasn't helping him sort things out nor was the suddenly onslaught of thunderous hammering going on in his chest loud enough he could actually hear the beat in his ears.

Opera didn't say anything, but instead waved her fan in front of her as she smiled modestly at Red.

Several minutes later someone knocked on the door to Opera's office and she bayed whoever it was in, unsurprised when it turned out to be Gren and Calua, both looking somewhat flustered but relatively normal, though Calua was wearing Gren's hair tie around his hair for some reason. The two of them looked somewhat confused as they spied a Popsicle like Red standing in the center of the room with his tail pointed at the ground as Opera snickered at him from behind her desk.

"You summoned us lady Opera?" Gren asked while walking by Red and taking a curious glace at the other before settling on his lady.

"Yes I did. Sorry to disturb you but I think Red here has something to ask you, actually both you and Calua."

The caninu and felineko in question turned to regard Red who was sweating profusely and smiling at them with nothing but teeth.

"H-hi guys. Uhm...I...that is..."

"Something up dude?" Calua asked when he walked up to stand beside Gren.

Looking at the two of them Red almost felt like his legs wanted to give out as he stared at the white caninu watching him with curiosity painted on his face and the reddish felineko who looked all the world like he was missing some kind of inside joke.

"Uhm...if you guys weren't busy...I was wondering if you wouldn't mind...that is...maybe...going out with me sometime?" Red whispered.

"Say again?" Gren asked as even his good hearing missed the last part of that statement.

Red closed his eyes, toughened his nerves and then said, "Would you two go out with me sometime?"

Both Gren and Calua looked at Red and then to each other before opening their mouths slightly. Behind them Opera was about ready to fall on the ground in a fit of unbridled laughter but she kept herself together...just barely.

"Are you asking us out on a date?" Gren questioned cautiously while Calua just scratched at his cheek in nervousness.

"Yeah, so like if you wouldn't mind just tell me sometime, ok?" Red mustered up his resolve and then turned to walk out of the door.

The caninu and felineko behind him didn't know what to say as they watched him leave but they did dart around when they heard a body fall to the floor and someone start to laugh themselves into tears. The two Kurvaz special ops didn't know what to think or to say after this so by the time they finally did get themselves together, leaving Opera still curled onto the floor in laughter, they made their way out the door and down to the docks only to watch as the Asmodeus flew up into the sky and then off into the distance.

"I believe things are going to be interesting from here on end." Gren said while looking to Calua, once the entire experience had settled between them into some sort of dull haze.

"Yeah, I think dude just might hit that coming-of-age thing everyone goes through." For the first time Calua looked like he was actually thinking about things instead of just going on gut instinct and it made Gren smile to himself as he watched the sun pass through the sky.

"I do as well. Should we then call him back and arrange something for tonight?" Gren felt arms around him and then light nips at his neck before Calua hugged him tight into his chest.

"Later, weren't we in the middle of something?" Calua ground himself up into Gren's back and made the caninu whimper as he felt his tail twitch eagerly.

"Then let us adjourn back to our room." Gren said before turning and kissing Calua onto the mouth. Around them none of the other Kurvaz said a word as they walked past the two special ops doing their usual.

Meanwhile in the cabin of the Asmodeus, Red was all but beating himself in the head as he placed his pillow over his face and bit at it. He promised that he was going to get Opera back for this if it was the last thing he did. There was no way his pride would allow him any respite until he did. A knock on the door to the cabin made Red throw his pillow off of his face and then turn to look and see Chocolat coming in.

"Are you alright? Beluga said you collapsed after the testing was finished." Chocolat walked up with a tray of food in her paws and then set it down in front of her brother before climbing up onto his bed.

"Yeah, just fine." Red thanked her and dug in at the same second, much hungrier than he expected.

"Ok, good. I was worried, especially when Opera called back and said something about Gren and Calua wanted you to arrange something between them over dinner."

Chocolat turned at the sound of her brother choking and quickly reached over to pat him on the back to help his food down. Not sure what was going on the pink haired felineko waited several minutes as Red started to breathe normally before looking questioningly at the other.

"It's fine. W-when did she leave that call?" Red was so flustered that he was actually shivering all over with a red flush covering his face.

"Not too long ago. I was just finishing up getting payment from Merveille when the call came in. Oh, Merveille also wanted me to give you her thanks for helping her out today. She put something extra in it and I put it in your locker."

"Thanks Chocolat. Where's Elh, by the way?" Red just noticed the other felineko was nowhere to be seen as usually she made him something to eat once he got back to the ship.

"She's out right now. Said something about going to Airedale but I'm not sure. She said she'll be back in a few days."

"Oh, ok. Thanks for dinner." Red returned to his plate and noted that with every bite he wondered if dinner with Gren and Calua would taste even better.

A smile crossed his face without his meaning it too and as he finished eating Red barely saw the small smile on Chocolat's face match his own.

Red twisted and turned underneath his covers as he thought about what had happened the other day. His mind replaying the images of his two rivals plus one giggling Opera at the back of like an old picture reel set on replay. Groaning to himself, Red beat the back of his head into his pillow several times before slowly opening his weary eyes and looking out across the darkened room of the cabin. The silent form of both Chocolat and Elh were snoring quietly below him and as he watched the sleep Red wondered just what he was going to do about his current predicament, because at the rate things were going he would be a nervous wreck the next time he saw either Gren or Calua.

Just imagining the two Kurvaz special ops right next to each made the caninu's heart try to drill a path out of his chest from anxiety while his the tail tapped against the side of the bed in agitation. Curling his fingers together into a fist and looking up to the ceiling for answers that would never come Red finally sighed and got up when he realized that sleep was out for tonight. Standing up and scratching at the base of his tail Red walked down from the top bunk area and smiled at his adopted sister and Elh before carefully padding through the dark cabin with only the light from the moon shining from outside to guide him.

No sense waking the two of them up just because he couldn't sleep, Red thought as he strode out of the cabin and into the main hallway of his ship. Walking through night Red realized just how quiet the Asmodeus could be as he listened to his bare feet tap across the metal underneath him but disregarded this fact for heading to the loading dock where Dehak was stationed.

While not something he did often as of late Red did make a habit of going and sitting down on Dehak's legs and talking to the silent mecha, sharing all of his deepest secrets and fears even though the other never once replied back to his murmurings. Maybe that's what made the machine such a good listener, he never had any opinions or any judgments, thought tonight Red thought he could have seriously used some advice about the current state of his nonexistent love life. Tonight wasn't any different for Red as he climbed up onto Dehak's command seat, got out his extra chew bone, popped it in between his teeth and then slid down the side of Dehak's metal body to seat his tail at the mecha's feet.

Chewing at the end of the rawhide and letting his thoughts come to some kind of stable formation Red sighed as minutes passed with nothing more substantial going through his head expect: Gren was sexy as hell and Calua was too cute for words. This was followed by a picture of the two together laying hands on each other's sides, meshing lips against one another with tails swaying to and fro over firm rumps making Red groan as he felt his midsection become annoyingly constricted. Just imagining Calua's taunt behind teasingly waving at him while Gren's white paw caressed the twin globes possessively made Red hard between his legs and grunt when his pajama pants started to tent like a circus was starting in there.

Chewing heavily on his favorite brand of bone with just enough force to keep from snapping the end Red let the moments stretch on between them before speaking,

"Can you believe things turned out like this?" Red asked as he leaned his head back to feel Dehak's cool metal frame before looking up at the machine.

"I mean seriously, what's gotten into me? This isn't anything like what I'm used to. Crushing over two other guys that happened to be my friends is something out of one of Chocolat's romance mangas or one of Elh's love novels." Something Red would never admit that he had passed his eyes over more than once when the pages of said books had been left open while Chocolat or Elh had been in the bathroom. "A guy shouldn't be going around gushing over two other guys just because they happen to be really..." Red blushed as he thought about what he was going to say before shaking his thoughts away and looking at Dehak for an answer.

As always the mecha had nothing to say so that left Red to move on with the conversation.

"This is so stupid! Why do I have to go through this? I mean it was easier to save the world that to admit that I like two guys who happen to be my rivals. And don't think for a minute that they aren't!" Red growled as he bit down harder on his bone, looking up at Dehak accusingly. "I mean it's not like Calua and Gren are something special to me. They just happen to be really strong, especially Gren with that sword of his and that stupid blue headband he's always got wrapped around his hair. I mean he's a dog! Caninu are supposed let their hair whip around in the wind, not braid it up and let it hand halfway down his back like some kind of cape!" Red growled as he saw Gren flick said throng of hair over his shoulder with practiced ease as he usually did whenever he snapped his head suddenly to look in someone's direction.

"I can't believe I'm even thinking about this. This is so messed up." Red reached up to press his hands against his eyes and then rub at them to try and get some of the sleep out.

"I must be tired. I can even see them when my eyes are wide open." Red brushed across his face several times to try and make the vision in his mind's eye go away, but with little success. "I wonder what Gren would feel like in bed? I bet if he took off all that armor he's really muscular, probably even bigger than me." Red looked down and rubbed over his own flat stomach and defined chest, the outline fairly visible under his PJs. "He's got to be to handle that mecha of his so well, know what I mean?" Red turned his head up and watched the ceiling light wink off Dehak's head. "I mean seriously what's with that sword he's always got in that mecha's hand? Is he really some kind of samurai or is he just one of those sword fanatics that like sharp pointy things?" Red chuckled at his own joke as he thought about the other caninu poking at things with both his swords.

"Yeah, I know. Between him with the swords and Calua with the guns he's always carrying around those two have got to be going out with each other or something. There's just something too suggestive about how they fight, right?"

"But now that I think about it that makes me wonder about what Calua a little more too. He's almost always with Gren. The only time they are apart is when one of them would be at the arena or doing something for Opera. Doesn't that admit how much they are into each other? I mean not even me and Chocolat are around each other all the time." Red thought about the times when he was on quests and Chocolat would stay inside of Asmodeus to be his dispatch while he braved going into danger. Even Elh sometime stayed back because things go to dangerous and though she could say what she liked; the bumps, bruises, aches and scars Red sometimes came back with from a long excursion were not something the little felineko wanted to share with him.

Oh Red was smart enough to realize that the other had a crush on him but every time he looked at her it was like he was looking at a younger Chocolat. There wasn't much to feel for her in an intimate sense. Not when he remembered holding her back close to him while shielding Elh from the burning flames of the Hindenburg. Red felt too much like he needed to protect her than someone could be his equal, even though she had saved him with her presence and been a solid support in his life in the past year. He wouldn't trade Elh for anyone, not even Gren and Calua, but at the same time she was probably always going to be the little tomboy who was deathly afraid of bugs to him for as long as they lived.

Just thinking about it made Red laugh to himself at how the little cat could get so scared and shriek like such a 'frady cat while being the proverbial wise Ice Queen minutes later. Now Calua on the other paw...

"For a felineko he's got a really cute face, especially with that dumb grin he wears all the time. I bet he'd probably wear it even when..." Red's face was almost completely flushed as he thought about the crimson haired felineko in explicit positions; laid bare across his bed and sweating under him or over him leaning down and purring into his ear as he thrust down into Red's stomach while the two of them panted together. "Oh man, I really have got to do something about this." Red tipped his head down to look at his hard on rising up in his pajama pants and feeling like he was going to burst at any second.

Reaching down the caninu brushed his hand across the fabric and shuddered from the feeling of his sensitive erection being teased with by his slim fingers. Moaning, but somehow keeping from dropping his bone, Red grunted and wrapped his hand around his cock and began to pump himself with slow, leisured movements of his hand while imagining Gren and Calua, both naked and begging him over to them while laying over the other.

"Ahhh, man Calua." Red slit his eyes until he could barely see the world around him and instead envisioned a certain red head felineko leaning up into him and rubbing against his nose with his cheek. Red swore that he smell the nutty scent that Calua always seemed had trailing after him making the caninu's mouth water to taste it across his tongue.

Stroking himself harder and making dark roses stain against the front of the fabric, Red hissed as another face appeared before him, this one with fur pale the moon and nosing into his throat. The scent of earth and metal ran across Red's nose making the caninu pant and drool down the side of his muzzle while his furry ears dropped down to lay on his head as the pleasure from his groin began to shoot through every nerve in his body.

Where Red could see Calua with playful antics nipping at his nose and then rubbing their cheeks together Red could imagine Gren being nothing less than raw sensuality. The white caninu would probably growl into his ear before leaning in to nip at Red's neck making the other caninu arch and wag his tail in submissive rapture before Gren would hold him down and then mount his front. Both caninu would grind against one another white growling and smiling through fanged grins as they pumped and strained for dominance on top of the bed sheets. Meanwhile, Calua would find a way between them and wrap his soft, but firm lips around both caninu's cock and stroke them with the back of his throat as he brought his two lovers close to completion.

Red couldn't tell that it wasn't his own hand coaxing him to climax as he watched Gren trail a hand down through his rustic fur and then toy with his sheath before grabbing the lower end of his cock making Red whimper when the other caninu squeezed him just tight enough so that he gasped from pleasure rolling through his spine on down to his tail. Meanwhile Calua was all but swallowing both of them down into his mouth like some sort of black hole as the felineko hummed and purred around the flesh in his mouth.

Tongue and teeth would tease the two canines until they would leak a continuous trail of pre down the red head's throat making his throat bob up and down over the tips of Gren and Red's cocks. Red gave a hiss of pain when his own hand reached up and toyed with his hidden nubs, pulling and pinching them while dreaming of a certain felineko doing it for him.

Grunting and growling, Red saw Calua's hand reach down to intertwine with Gren's hand and soon the two of them were urging the other to pull and stroke faster to bring their shared moment to a climatic end. Raw power surged through Red's body like lightning as he grunted and hammered his hips up into Calua's mouth forcing the other to swallow around him deeper. Red felt everything and with frightening clarity when the two reached up together, Calua popping his mouth off from around his two caninu's thoroughly moist cocks, and kissed Red fully on the muzzle. All three males haring the flavor of each other at the same time sent Red off like a rocket as both Gren and Calua clenched down onto his cock hard enough to get him to yelp in protest.

Tightening his hand until it became a fist around himself and thrusting up a good foot from the ground, Red gave a shrill bark and parted his eyes in time to see the full front of his PJs become stained with his musky scented cum. The splatter bloomed like a blossoming rose as Red watched the flower spread further and further until it crossed over onto both his thighs before it stopped. Panting and whuffing for air Red released his quivering hand from around his groin and then brought it up to his nose to sniff. The scent of his cum was nothing special but in the back of his mind Red wondered what Calua and Gren would smell and taste like as he licked out across his moistened palm in order to clean the fur between his paw pads.

It took several minutes of huffing before Red was in any shape to move but once he was he turned to smile up at Dehak,

"Thanks Dehak. Sorry to bother you with my problems, but I'm really glad you listen to me." Red apologized before walking unsteadily out of the mecha's room and leaving Dehak to stand solemnly in the darkness of the room when Red cut the lights.

Walking down the hall as silently as he had come, Red chewed on the end of his bone nervously as he hoped he could get through to the shower without waking up Chocolat or Elh. Thankfully his wish came true tonight and Red was able to get a clean pair of night pants from his locker and his towel before tiptoeing to the shower room. Dropping his PJs and turning on the water Red promised himself that he was not going to have another episode like last time right now and resolved to just wash up and then go back to sleep.

Sadly, it took him nearly twice as long to shower as he normally would, no thanks to a certain red head and playful white caninu who invaded his shower and molested him under the spray of water. By the time he got out he had both, a goofy smile spread clear across his face and an even stranger gait to his walk as he hobbled to bed, Red swore that he was going to have to do something about his fantasies real soon, if for no other reason than he was running out of clean pants to wear.

Tucking his hands beneath his head and looking out towards the moon, Red sighed to himself and drifted off to sleep while wondering what Gren and Calua were up to this time of the evening while shutting his eyes and drifting off back to sleep.

A couple of days later Red got an interesting call from the Golden Roar.

"Red! Call for you!" Chocolat shouted at her brother on the intercom and listened as he sharply answered her then hurried from where had been was tuning up Dehak in the loading dock to the bridge.

"Who is it?" The caninu asked as he wiped his sweaty forehead with the back of his hand and grinned at his pink haired sister when she looked over him disapprovingly in his cutoff shorts and half t-shirt.

"It's Opera. She says that she has a message for you from Gren and Calua." Chocolat replied and then blinked in confusion as she watched Red's body language go dead silent as the other opened his mouth to gasp and nearly dropped his chew bone from between his lips.

"O-oh...thanks. I'll take it. Uhm, I think is personal...so do you mind?" Red tried to come off as polite as he could but to Chocolat it was a loss cause as the felineko huffed at being kept out of the loop and walked off from the bridge. "Sorry Chocolat."

"Hello, this is Red."

"Meowy. I thought it's take you less time to answer knowing who the message were from, sweetie." Red listened to Opera as she snickered on the other end of the line and did well for himself not to growl at her as he felt his face start to heat up.

"What's the message about Opera?" He inquired curtly.

"Hehe, oh just that Gren and Calua finally have some time off and have invited you to the Golden Roar to spend the night with them."

Red felt his tail puff out as he heard the words and then let them process around inside of his head. Once again his mind supplied him with fantasies and situations that had Red almost rock hard in his pants as he began to pant on his end of the call line. Grunting and composing himself the caninu replied,

"Uhm...you mean...like...uhm...how I think you mean...or something else..."

"I mean anything you want it to mean. However, I think Gren was contemplating something along the lines of having dinner here and then a drink, if I know him right. Should I tell him that you can't make it...or..."

"NO! No...no...I can make it. Just tell me what time so I can get ready."

Opera relayed the time to Red and then chuckled behind her fan as she listened to the other gush like a pup before ending the call.

Sitting back in her seat and looking out the window the purple haired felineko wondered just how much she would have to bribe one of the soldiers on duty to keep an ear out for the festivities tonight; her mouth widening into a smirk as she thought about the happenings between the three hotties under her roof having a nice, stiff drink later on this evening.

By the time Chocolat came back into the room she found Red slumped into the command seat and grinning like a loon. Walking around and poking at him, the pink haired felineko thought about calling for a doctor before Red just turned and looked at her and then said,

"I-I have a date tonight...with Gren and Calua...on the Golden Roar..." That was all Chocolat got before Red slipped further down into the seat and then straight onto the floor.

"Oh brother,"

It took thirty minutes later to pry more info out of Red, the other in Lala land and still smiling bright enough to make the sun jealous, but once she did Chocolat herded the caninu back to the cabin area to get ready and then put on a change of clothing.

Chocolat flew them to the Golden Roar some hours later, having to stop and pick up Elh from Basset first and give the other felineko the rundown of what was happening, though keeping things somewhat vague, and then dropped Red off on the front door of the imposing golden airship. Walking with the other down the ship's ramp Chocolat reached up and kissed Red on his nose and whispered for him to take care of himself and not do anything he would regret making Red nod in appreciation for understanding things. Once he stepped free from the ship Red readjusted the backpack slung around his shoulder and puffed up his chest before walking straight through the torii of the Golden Roar and into the building.

The caninu listened to the Asmodeus' engines hum to a start and then flicked and ear to listen to the large ship put distance between him and itself before he returned his focus to the task at hand.

A soldier came up to greet him once he made it inside of the main temple and then led Red to the room where Gren and Calua were waiting, unknowingly filling the caninu with newfound nervousness. The smaller soldier also let him know that Opera, Merville and Beluga would be busy and unavailable for the rest of the evening so all of his needs would be taken care of by the grunts on duty. Red barely paid him any attention at this point though as he tried to bite back the butterflies swarming inside of his stomach making him feel nauseated. Hands slightly shaking and his lips feeling dry Red all but fought to keep himself together as he was finally led to a large golden framed door where his...dates were waiting.

The soldier knocked on the door and was soon bayed to enter by a deep voice coming from the other side.

Red walked past the soldier, tipping his head in gratefulness, before pushing open the door in front of him and then walking in. And literally dropped his jaw at what he was saw; there in front of him was a plush table filled with food of varying types as far as his eye could see. Assorted meats, sliced fruits, steaming pastas and other assorted dishes were lined up for his pleasure while on the opposite of the table a certain white caninu and crimson haired felineko were standing in wait for him. The two were dressed in traditional ceremonial garbs with secret smiles painted on their faces and suddenly Red felt very much out of place since he was wearing his flight suit and chewing on his favorite bone like some kind of country bumpkin.

"uhm, I...uh...I...thank you for inviting me." Red greeted while walking forward and then setting his bag down as if he lived there.

Bolstering his resolve and throwing away his shyness Red decided to go with the flow and do things as he normally would. No sense trying to act like something he wasn't just because he was more excited that a pup getting their first chewy for their birthday.

Gren smiled while Calua looked ready to pounce on the other but kept himself in check by lightly leaning into the white caninu.

"You are welcome. We are grateful that you accepted our invitation on such short notice." Gren bowed slightly before walking around the table to where Red was standing and then helped the other caninu out of his jacket followed by his hat. Taking the clothing and setting it aside onto a shelf the white caninu walked back to Red and then nudged him forward to take a seat.

Red didn't argue but he did take his chew bone out of his mouth and then put it away.

Good manners, he could hear Chocolat say, before turning his head and looking at all the food spread out. The smell alone was enough to make Red's mouth water as he sniffed the exquisite meats and finely diced vegetables, but he kept his paws off of anything until his hosts walked over and set themselves down.

At that point Red took the time to note that neither Calua nor Gren pulled out chairs for each other or did anything overtly sexual as they sat themselves down beside each other and then looked at him. Red flushed as he realized that he was being watched then picked up a knife and fork and began to dig into the food once he felt it was proper. Calua and Gren followed seconds later and soon muzzles were chewing and stomachs were being filled as the three males ate everything with relish.

Nothing was said over the dinner table as the food proved to speak for itself. Red was sure that he had to have filled his plate twice over as his nervousness triggered an insane appetite within his belly. Meanwhile, Gren and Calua watched him out of the corners of their eyes; neither saying anything but both smirking as they watched the hungry doggy eat while trying not to literally inhale what was in front of him.

Calua mostly stuck to the fish and rice, using chopsticks to bundle his food and put it into his mouth while Gren used a fork same as Red to stab at the meat he placed on his plate followed by the vegetables and fruit.

It took a good hour to finish everything but once all the plates were cleared off Gren summoned several soldiers to come to take the dishes away and then to bring three bottle of rice wine and one set of ochokos. The drinks came minutes later and were sat in front of Red and the others and once it was,

"What's this?" Red asked as he lifted up the little ceramic glass while slumping in his chair and rubbing his overly full stomach, definitely going to sleep well tonight, he thought.

"This is going to serve us as drinking glasses." Gren said while taking one of the alcohol bottles, popping open the top and then began to pour himself a drink before passing the bottle to Calua.

"Yeah dude, this will help you to keep from drinking too much and getting drunk." Calua took the bottle and then poured himself enough of the clear liquor that it looked like the cup would overflow before handing the container to Red. "You pour just enough for yourself without spilling any and then," Calua casually tipped the ceramic up to his lips and then swallowed.

"Though I think you always manage to get drunk anyway," Gren said cheekily behind his own ochoko while sparing a glance at Calua.

"Mmmmaybe..." The red haired felineko smiled while pouring himself another drink and then pushed the bottle over to Red.

Not sure what he should do, having never been interested in alcohol and knowing Chocolat would kill him if he ever got drunk, Red shrugged his shoulders and took the bottle, the ochoko and then poured the cup halfway full. Brining the liquid up to his nose Red sneezed from the sharp bite of the liquor running up his nose and he turned away to watch Gren slowly tipped his cup and quietly take a drink.

The white caninu looked so regal with his long hair flowing down behind his back and his blue kimono wrapped around his frame keeping Red from seeing exactly what the other caninu looked like underneath the silk fabric.

Turning at hearing the sound of someone slurping Red watched as Calua tipped his second drink up and slurped down the liquor in one go like a professional. The felineko's throat bobbed and Red watched in rapt amazement as Calua suddenly pulled back with a gasp and a smile and reached for the bottle once again. Green eyes turned to regard Red and then,

"Sup dude? Don't want your drink?" Red looked down to where Calua was referring and realized that he had yet to touch what he had in his hands. Looking over to Gren and finding the other watching him with an unreadable stare on his face Red shrugged and opened his mouth and poured back the cup into his lips.

A second after the liquid touched his tongue Red felt like he had been kicked by a mecha full force when fire raced down the back of his throat. Red coughed and nearly dropped his ochoko as he tried to hack up the liquor before it got into his stomach but it was too late. The warmth hit his belly and heated his spine and chest like a hearth and when he opened his waters eyes to a blurry world he found both Gren and Calua staring at him with mild concern on his face.

If he could have seen his how his own muzzle slightly dropped as he swayed from the initial drink of the liquor Red would have realized that it was for good reason. His face was the picture of drunkenness with his glassy eyes slightly squinting at his guests and a slightly dopey smile caressing his muzzle as he suddenly found something about Calua's face very humorous.

"Dude, are you drunk?" Calua asked even as he swiped the alcohol bottle up and poured himself another drink.

"Uh-uh, nope. I'm good. It's just really hot." Red murmured as he sighed and looked down into his now empty cup with a scowl.

"That's probably the rice that got used to ferment the liquor. Good crop from Samoyed this year." Gren replied before taking the bottle from Calua after the felineko finished pouring himself another drink. "Would you like another?" Gren tipped the bottle to Red.

"...sure..." Red offered his glass to Gren and watched the other caninu pour the clear liquid into his ochoko and then stop when the liquor touched the rim.

Looking at his reflection and smiling, Red raised his cup it up to his lips, poured the liquor down his throat and murmured when the heat shot down his spine and then welled into his belly again. It was much better the second time around and Red barely noticed the fiery sensation of his taste buds igniting as he slapped his tongue lips and sighed in bliss. Pulling the cup away to lick his lips Red smiled dopily at Gren and Calua and then snickered as he really found something funny about the intense way Gren was watching him.

The other two smiled right back and then the conversation began,

"You enjoying yourself Red?" Calua asked after getting himself another drink.

"Y-yeah,"

"I think you may be getting drunk; surprising for someone who pilots a mecha as well as you do. I was sure that you'd have a harder stomach than this." Gren teased even as he kept up a straight face.

"W-whatever, I can handle this." Red growled before snatched up the bottle from Calua and pouring more liquor for himself.

"No need to get upset, I'm just making a confirmed observation is all."

"Bet this is your first time getting hammered isn't it?" Calua leaned over the table to Red's face.

"So what? I can handle this just like I can handle you." Red would have hit himself if he realized how suggestive he sounded when he said this.

"Oh really?" Calua purred while smirking.

"Yeah,"

"Down boys. We're here to enjoy the night, not start a fight." Gren interjected making the two settle back down in their respective corners.

It took sometime before anyone spoke again, the first bottle of sake being emptied only to be replaced by the second before Calua thought of something.

"So Red, buddy, why did you want to ask us out on a date?" Calua asked with his voice surprisingly steady even though he was pouring ounce after ounce of sake down into his stomach.

"Hehehe, don't know. Just been dreaming about you two for a while. Wanted to know if you guys were as cool as I thought." The caninu slurred as he got another drink. His hands wavering unsteadily and nearly missing the bottle as his vision started to shake and blur.

"Really?"

"Yep, been getting off imagining you and Gren with me in the shower and bed and the loading dock in front of Dehak and..." Red finished up with another swallow of liquor in his muzzle.

"Quite the perverted little dog aren't you?" Gren teased, smiling completely out of character now.

"You're one to talk." Red snorted.

"What's that mean?"

"Like you don't know. You two are almost never separate from each other and running around all the time around Opera." Red leaned over the table and stared at Gren with his eyes that were more focused that they should have been even though his pupils were completely dilated. "I bet you and Calua are never too far from each other, on or off from work."

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Gren said before taking another drink.

"Y-yeah...w-would like that a lot..."

"And just what else would you like to do, Red?" Gren asked in an almost hushed voice making the other caninu's ears perk up to take in every word.

"W-would like to kiss you...and hold you...and...and..."

"I think you'd have to ask my mate first before that could happen." Gren turned to look at Calua who was staring at them both with predatory eyes. "He can get rather jealous if he thinks someone's trying to harm me, even though he knows I can fend for myself."

Red looked at Calua with his head slightly tilted at an odd angle before pulling back into his seat and looking miffed at his empty ochoko.

It was just as Red was reaching for another drink that a hand snapped out and caught his own fingers to stop him mid-grasp. Dark eyes watched as a furry orange arm held his hand in an unshakable hold and then laced their fingers together before raising the intertwined hands up and pulling Red over across of the table and into a muscular, but lithe body. The caninu blinked and looked up to find himself in Calua's embrace as the felineko smiled down at him in a drunken stupor and then kissed him full on the lips.

Sour and bitter made up the taste of the shared kiss as Red sampled the flavor of the crimson headed felineko mouth meshed against his lips while breathing in the nutty earth like scent that seeped from Calua's fur. Spread halfway across the table Red's body was laid flat against the covers like a limp doll and it was amusing for a certain white caninu to watch as Red tried to pull himself up and bundle himself into Calua's arms into a makeshift hug. The odd coupling made Gren's muzzle tip into a warmer smile than he was used to as he watched Red and Calua share a heated, but tender moment between them as the red haired felineko reached around to hold the caninu tightly against his chest while at the same time rubbing and squeezing Red's behind like he owned it.

Jealously didn't flare inside of him as might have others; Gren was secure in the knowledge that not only did Calua belong with him but to him as well. The felineko wouldn't stray for some other tail, not even one's as sexy and innocent as Red, but it did make him cast a careful eye over the two so that he could watch as Calua claim the other with lips and tongue and teeth. Calua was all about showing off his feelings and thoughts to others and as Gren watched him nip Red's tongue and rub circles across the other's back he knew that the other caninu might be appearing between them in their much sooner than even he had anticipated.

It would be a nice change to add someone else to their coupling, not that he was getting bored with his energetic kitten, it was just that something felt like it was missing in their nightly exploits and maybe Red was the missing key between them. The younger caninu was something else to see as he groaned and arched up into Calua's embrace while pulling his lips back to nuzzle at the red head's hair and face.

The sensual moment lasted for several more seconds before the increase in movement, Red shifting to sit fully in Calua's lap and grind into the other, caused the both of them to collapse onto the ground when the chair under Calua slipped from the sudden change in weight.

The two tumbled into a heap but even though they were a heap of limbs and fur Red managed to prop his lips back onto Calua's while the felineko held him tightly against his chest. Gren watched the two of them writhe and moan in a drunken stupor for several seconds, Calua purring and humped up into Red causing the caninu to grunt and break their kiss to nip him on the ears, before he decided to end the show before they got naked there on the floor.

Not that that would have been a bad thing, his mind added before Gren could shake the thought and image away.

Standing up and capping the third bottle of sake that he had just taken the first drink from, being able to hold his alcohol Gren could have finished off the entire bottle by himself and have a stomach for another, the white caninu decided that it was time to move things to the bedroom.

"Alright you two; get up from the floor already before you catch cold." Gren's eyes were slightly dropped but he was fully aware when he saw Calua grunt and ignore him while wrapping his arms as tightly as he could around Red and tugging the other as close to him as possible as he reached in between the tail-tie of Red's pants to grope the caninu's butt.

Sighing loudly to warm Calua of his lack of patience, the white caninu walked over and hefted Red up by hem of his shirt, alternatively breaking the connection between him and Calua. This caused two things to happen at once; one Red whimpered like a pup and tried to reach out for Calua as he panted and groaned in Gren's hold and two, the spiky haired felineko to growl at him with menace glowering inside of his jade eyes like emerald fire. Both occurrences were ignored by Gren as he rolled his own eyes and then carried Red over his shoulder and to the backroom where his and Calua's bedroom was waiting on them.

Calua jumped off of the floor and then followed after Gren, his face curled into a snarl of indignation for not getting his prize but with a fierce snarl from Gren the felineko swallowed his stormy emotions and settled for scowling silently. While not the assured leader in the relationship Calua knew that crossing Gren would have repercussion later down the line that he would rather not have to deal with. Besides, there were plenty of other ways to get what he wanted from the other as he watched Gren toss Red casually onto their spacious bed. Closing the door and placing them in darkness Calua reached out and turned on a light and showered the room in a brilliant golden glow setting off the sacred space of his and Gren sleeping quarters.

While not as impressive or majestic as Opera's shrine like room it provided the two with enough space to sleep, wash and do other things in when not on duty for the Kurvaz.

Calua watched as Red moaned and shuffled onto the bed, moving around very pleasingly as he panted and rolled his head to the side showing off his both vulnerable and supple neck for the felineko's viewing pleasure. Turning his head to shoot a glare at Gren, Calua would have given anything to be able to pounce on the drunken caninu and have his way with him. It was no secret at this point that red would have been more than willing, the alcohol not minding his present mental ability.

"Stop glowering at and help me the inebriated doggy undressed." Gren said with a slight turn of his head.

"Which one?" The felineko stuck out his tongue unabashedly and then curled it against his lips before licking them slightly.

"The one on already on the bed, and maybe afterwards I'll let you undress the other drunk doggy." Gren teased before walking up and then looking for the ties and zippers on Red's flight suit.

The eyes looked at him for a solid minute and then down to the wiggling caninu before marching over and then grabbing a leg. Though he couldn't see it Gren was smiling down at him knowingly while reaching down to help get Red undressed and then under the covers. It took several minutes as Red fought them unintentionally, making things somewhat adventurous as they took off his suit and then the shirt underneath only to toss everything over to the side where it would be picked up and cleaned later by the staff on duty.

It might have seemed odd to have someone come in the morning and pick up their laundry but most of the Kurvaz knew about Gren and Calua and those that didn't learned really quickly as the red head felineko was nothing if not blunt about keeping a secure handle on what belonged to him, Gren's ass among other things were especially at the top of the list. It was nothing for the felineko to lay claim of Gren's behind in places where Bruno and Opera wouldn't be looming around and having his way with the white caninu's mouth and ears when not on duty.

Once Red was both naked and underneath Gren allowed Calua to undress him from his kimono while doing the same for the red head felineko. Stroking against each other's well defined frames, sharing a heated kiss then sharing nips across the other's necks, Gren and Calua hugged each other tightly to reinforce their own bond before walking around to the opposite sides of the bed and spooning in next to Red.

"You think he really means it about being with us?" Calua asked before he nosed Red's face and made the other sneeze slightly.

"He's at that age so I wouldn't be too surprised. The question we have to answer is, are we going to accept him?" Gren looked across from long auburn hair of the other caninu at his lover.

For several seconds Calua said nothing as he really thought over what he was being asked, "I will if you will." He acquiesced and turned to look into Gren's eyes.

"This won't be like before. Red won't just let us go once we pull him in and that means pulling his family and problems in with him. Are you ready for that?"

"I can handle anything this guy brings," Gren smiled. "As long as he brings his ass with him." And then Gren kicked Calua underneath the covers. "Oww,"

"Go to sleep. We can deal with whatever comes next tomorrow."

"Yeah, goodnight Red." Calua kissed the other caninu on the cheek.

"Sleep fitfully, friend." Gren nuzzled in next to the sleeping caninu and then sighed before letting his biorhythm slow down in restful sleep.

Calua followed some seconds later, reaching out to lace his fingers into Gren's hand while the two of the locked Red into a firm hold between them. And though they couldn't see it underneath the covers, both Gren and Calua had also placed their unattended hands around Red's sheath and rump, respectively.

Meanwhile, in her office Opera was looking over some papers with Merville when someone tapped on the door.

"Come in," A small maid stepped into the room and in her hands was a somewhat full sake bottle and two ochokos. "Ahhh, I see everything went well?"

"Yes ma'am." The servant sat the ceramic down and then looked at the two women.

"So tell me exactly what you heard," Opera ordered while opening the bottle and taking an ochoko for herself while sliding one to Merville, the blonde haired scientist eagerly curious about what her pup and the two other special ops had been into tonight.

"Well ma'am..."
