PART FOUR: LOVE IN HIS PROXIMITY

DAY FOUR, FIVE & SIX

It seemed that Mary would not speak with Don. No matter, for Don did not wish for that communication anyway. Many had asked her what she did to cause Don such a maniacal reaction. She lied, she lied, she lied. Mary claimed that she had merely tried to help and offer him assistance with the aid of a qualified human. That was true, yes, but not the real basis behind her actions.

Lee, too, was interrogated. But Lee was not a liar, and he did not fully know why Don had done what he did. He figured that Don had been greatly offended, but to actually beat Mary like that? It was unlike Don, and all tried, tried very hard to forget it. Lee and Mary did not wish to think their friend insane, but neither could deny the turn that Don's life had taken. He had turned into an unpredictable monster. None of the occupants of that night's gathering cared enough to create their own reasons. As long as it was not any of them.

Ivan, the human that saved Don's life, was questioned as to what happened. He saw the three colf boys kicking the eelnod on the ground and felt it not necessary. His convoluted defense for Don was that the colf's chivalrous beliefs were bogus and they took them to an unhealthy, fanatic level. But it was his fascination with eelnods that caused him to stop the assault. He could not bear to see an eelnod abused in such a manner, especially an attractive youth like Don.

When Benefield had been told of the depressed creature, he had been surprised by several things. First, was that the boy's friends had approached with the problem and asked for help. Eelnods with any such sympathy was a rarity in the Facility. Ivan was eager to help, but knew that it would be frivolous, a waste of time too.

Humans or colfs were his only two choices. Other intelligent life was outside of the Facility and he could not go into the city to see them. He did not need to actually see them, but he felt that it would be a waste of time to research something else besides those two when he could not observe them closely.

That night after he and Lee slept in his bed together, he said goodbye and forsook sessions for the next two days. That time was spent in his obsessive study, reading over textbooks about human and colf anatomy, psychology, and general history. It may have been from the three colf boys and the act of violence, but Don did not find the colf biology and history as interesting as the humans.

Eelnods were openly sexual with each other, regardless of gender or age. Don did not care for sex, he did a bit, he liked it when Lee had fornicated with him, and sometimes he had enjoyed Mary's touch. Humans were not as accepting to that sort of life style. Yes, there were those with various sexual orientations and promiscuity, but generally, humans did not feel the need to show physical love to everyone around them.

It was Don's impression that humans only took mates, and were careful in their selection. Where eelnods very rarely took mates, it never really meant anything, for eelnods rarely practiced monogamy.

Lee seemed somewhat monogamous though. Although he tried to get Don into sexual situations, he still fornicated with his other friends. Yet Don knew that with the orgy, Lee found no romance. Lee was not a typical eelnod, like Don, and the thought occurred to him that Lee could very well be his mate. They would be happy for the remainder of their lives, most likely.

But it was those damn humans that Don liked. In a strange, almost sickening way, he found them attractive. Although the ridiculously sparse fur on their bodies was ugly to him, he found their height, and slender structure of their limbs, fascinating. He liked how they did not have muzzles, and unlike most other creatures, he did not find that flatness ugly. It did not occur to him that those thoughts were unnatural.

After his hiatus, Don decided to attend sessions again. This time, though, he would be with the humans. Eelnods would be puzzled by this, for although there was no official prejudice, it was an anomaly and always raised a few eyebrows. But eelnods really did not have eyebrows. Don read the schedules that had human dominated occupancy and kept to those. Specifically, he looked for the ones that were lectured by Ivan Benefield, that psycho-doctor.

When Don first appeared in Ivan's session, the human approached and they conversed for the rest of that day. He invited Don to every session he was in, either watching or lecturing, and found out about his patient's interest in his own species. Together, they organized their schedules towards both their interests, yet making sure they could be in the same room. Soon, Ivan was attending strictly eelnod sessions, which was not frowned upon by eelnods, but they certainly found it weird.

* * * * * * *

Lee found himself upset that Don stopped hanging out with him. It had been three days, and Don had not even said hello or gone out of his way to meet his friend for a hug or anything. On this third day, he decided to rush from his current session, as soon as it ended of course, and run to the library. He heard from Rob that Don had been staying the in the book room for several days and had attempted to say hi.

"Is he there right now?" He asked Rob. He and Lee had been in the last session. Lee was making sure that Don was in the library before exhausting himself by running there.

"I don't know." He replied; he was only now healing from the black eye Don had given him. "You know, when I went up to him he almost ran away!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, he prolly thought I was gonna pound on him for hitting me. But I just wanted to see if he had regained his sanity. So I just said 'are you all right now?' and he was like 'I'm so sorry man, please don't be mad at me' and stuff like that." Lee laughed loudly.

"That's awesome! I'm sure Don really was sorry he hit you. But you got your revenge when you trashed his room right? Oh, that might not have been you."

"Who trashed his room?"

"I don't know. It was right after he got his ass kicked by those colf boys, so I figured it was one of you or Mary or one of her dipshit friends."

"It wasn't any of us, I was with the others all the rest of the night. I don't know where Mary went though, it was prolly one of her friends though, you're right."

"I guess it's even then right?"

"Sure."

The conversation ended there as Rob realized that Lee was going to abandon him in the search for Don. Rob knew that Lee was in love with the maniac, and he did not care. Though Lee was very skilled at everything sexual, and Lee being gone meant they were losing a good sex buddy, he did not fret over his absence at the gatherings those past few nights. He grabbed Lee and kissed him firmly, as a joke, and headed off to an unknown destination.

Lee was by himself. He continued down the hall and through the door, then he dashed across the lawn and field to the library, jumping over those beings basking in the sunlight. It was summer now, the solstice having arrived the day before, and now the days and nights would be getting warmer. He knew that Don would enjoy the more clement weather and would be willing to venture out with him occasionally on those nights Lee would be with him instead of Rob.

He would get Don's love, it was his goal. He had forsaken his past life of casual sex and conditional love, and was now focused on being only with Don. Lee had convinced himself that Don was the only person he could find happiness with and gratification from; he would not consider the notion that Don would never fall in love with him and he would have to do without, or go back to the orgies in which he was so talented.

The black-haired eelnod clambered up the steps to the third west building and dashed down the hall, running into a group of humans. They all shouted as he slammed into one and they both fell. Those around him burst into laughter as the victim grabbed Lee and started shaking him.

"Sorry! Sorry!" He shouted, knowing that the aggressive behavior was not intended to be cruel. Then he continued, smiling, for the scene had lifted his spirits. But his spirit dropped as he entered the library and saw that Don was not there. He spent at least twenty minutes moving about, through isles of shelves, up and down the four stories, but he knew that Don would not be found.

There were hundreds of shelves all lined up, the entire second floor was taken up with them. He knew it was hopeless. Lee had been sniffing the air for his love's scent, but the traces he found were evidently from days previous. They were not even strong enough for him to enjoy.

There he stood, feeling like an idiot, once again lost in a place with a confusing structure, just like the garden before. In the garden, he could not have followed Don's scent, for they had been outside and the aroma of plants and flowers overwhelmed him. On either side of him was a tall wall of books, he wondered if Don ever had felt claustrophobic in here.

"Don?" He shouted. Lee expected the boy to come running and slap him for offending the silence of the place. Lee was on the top level, and he had not seen anyone up that high upon arriving, therefore, no one had likely heard him. He maneuvered his way along the paths and isles till he came upon the staircase and descended. Then he tried his call on the third floor.

"Don?" He shouted again. There were people here, humans, eelnods, colfs, they all turned to him and told him to be silent. There was no answer, so once again, he ran about while smelling the air for his friend. Once gain, Lee felt like a magician, for Don was now sitting at a table, appearing there as if by magick. Lee gaped as he saw the love of his life sitting idly, reading a very large book. There was a wide spacing between two booked walls, several round tables were lined up down the length of this clearing. Don sat there oblivious to what was going on around him, hands set on the chair he rested on, legs swinging below him.

Lee began to approach, then thought of the consequences. Don could be depressed again and not want to see anyone. Then again, he could be in a jovial mood and enjoy seeing Lee. If he were depressed, then Lee would be sure to intrude and try to make him feel better. However, Don did not appear to be like that; he looked pleased enough. Lee shook his head, thinking that his need for caution was ridiculous. He knew that he was treating Don like a wild, dangerous animal. Lee moved forward casually and stopped directly next to him.

Don squinted up to whoever it was and could not make it out right away, the lighting and all. Then it hit him.

"Hey man!" He stated happily, standing to give Lee a hug. Lee was glad to oblige and embraced him fully and did not let go when Don tried to. The negative force of energy took their equilibrium and gravity drug them to topple over the chair. They laughed as they slammed into the floor. Quickly, both positioned themselves and Don tried to stand, but Lee pinned him down. Don was now on the ground and Lee literally on top of him.

"Time for a tickling lesson!" Threatened Lee, but Don shook his head.

"I'm...not-"

"Ticklish! Dammit, I forgot!" Lee chuckled and stood up, pulling on his friends paws to help him stand as well. The two males sat at the table and Don pushed the book forward to give his paws room on the top.

"Where've you been, man?" Lee asked, reaching forward to pet his friend.

"I've been around, going to sessions, but hanging here mostly."

"You are going to sessions? Which ones? With who?" Don was reluctant to answer. He wondered if Lee would find his new friendship with Ivan to be a strange one.

"Uh... Dr. Benefield." Lee stared in confusion.

"The psychologist? Why?"

"He's really cool! We get along well and both like the same kind of stuff." Lee had a good response, Like death? But that would probably piss Don off to no end.

"Well, it's good that you're happier now. That's what I really wanted to see. Don grinned. "So... now that the session is over, is it all right if I hang out with you?"

"Oh yeah, I was kind of missing you. I was gonna go look for you tomorrow." Lee found mixed feelings about that last statement. It was clear that Don desired to be with Lee and spend time with him outside of the sessions. But it was only 'kind of' and secondary, as if he had something better to do.

"All right, I really wanted to find you yesterday. I wasn't feeling very good and I knew that if I could just see your face and maybe get a hug I would feel better. Don snickered sheepishly and reached up to scratch his nose.

The rest of the day was spent with the two friends talking about random stuff in the library. Don suddenly thought of something interesting and dragged Lee down to the first floor and through twisting turns of the maze to a particular set of books. Lee was genuinely uninterested in it but he liked how Don was so eager to show him. Here they found another setup of tables, Don dragging more books along to continue his conversation with Lee.

Dusk crept into the sky and the populace of the book room became fewer as they took notice of this. The eelnods rushed to their gathering, the humans going to bed or the cafeteria, or following the eelnods, or someplace else, the colfs doing any or none of those things. None of those possibilities were necessarily accurate. From their position, Don and Lee could see the sunlight fade through the four layered skylight.

Don stared up to it as if looking for something. In spirit, he was. The young eelnod gazed upward to the sky and wished for his life to find meaning. He knew it would not come, for the search had become difficult and had nearly gotten himself killed, had had damaged a fellow eelnod and had been ready to discard his friend, Lee, for his betrayal. He knew that his issue was ludicrous, that he was taking it all too seriously.

The conversation with Lee had stopped and they sat there silently, Lee watching Don, Don watching space. Their eyes then met and Don felt that he was close to the source of happiness, with love in his proximity. Yet, still he was not sure if it would be that magnificent if it was to be official. He looked to Lee, slowly bringing his head down to meet his friends eyes. He had never truly found Lee attractive, he never once considered him handsome or homely. He was neither, but more close to handsome. He was beautiful in a way; his ears were perfectly shaped and set symmetrically on his head, his hair hung down neatly around them but was short enough to not obscure his eyes. Green optical organs that were dark, not the usual bright, clear color of the typical eelnod, they were just like his ears, perfect shape and balance. His face was pointed without being sharp, his snout not too long or short.

Don reached forward with his paw and rubbed Lee's cheek. Lee closed his eyes and brushed against his love's touch and leaned forward.

"I just realized how much I like your ears." Don admitted. Lee opened his eyes then, wide.

"You do? Aww, thanks Don." He grinned at Don and had to fight the urge to lunge at him again, this time it would be lustful aggression. Yet he could see the acceptance in Don's eyes, and he would be ashamed of himself if he forced anymore spontaneous sex onto him. The caress from Don was more than enough to cause him ecstasy. An idea sparked in his mind then, something that he knew Don would like.

"You uh... wanna go for a walk?" Don dropped his hand quickly and fell back into the chair.

"You're not gonna drag me to the gathering are you?" Lee was almost upset by the accusation. But then he realized that he not yet told Don of his decision to stick with him exclusively.

"No," he shook his head, "I'm done with gatherings." Don gave him a puzzled look.

"Really?" He was sure that Lee was making a joke. "Oh yeah, you said you were uh..."

"Yep. I just realized a few days ago that it doesn't entertain me anymore."

"How're you gonna acclimate yourself to not being in those orgies anymore?"

"I only need you for that kind of stuff now. I'd rather be with you than all those kids, you know?" Don was both flattered and troubled by it. Lee was taking a big step, for an eelnod, in parting from the promiscuity of that lifestyle for the one that he would get with Don. It meant that Lee was one step closer to being his lover, his mate. Don was able to fight his irrational fear immediately. Within seconds, he was delighted by the honor to have the great Lee as his own.

"So anyway. You wanna go?"

"Oh, yes, where do you wanna go?" Lee shrugged.

"I dunno, I thought that 'cos of the warmer weather it would be more fun to play around in the garden."

"What do you mean by 'play around'?"

"You know..." Lee snarled mischievously, reaching a paw to wrap it around Don's closest thigh. Don contracted the muscles in his legs and clamped Lee's hand. They both snickered and Don pulled Lee to the side, causing Lee to stumble over the chair and fall to the ground. Then Don jumped over to him and grabbed him around his shoulders.

"Now I've got you!" He said playfully while Lee guffawed under him. Lee was about to turn his head to speak, but Don shifted and Lee's mouth was stuffed against his belly, and all Lee managed was an 'oof!'

"Okay Don," he said while gently shoving him off, "I almost got a bite out of your guss."

"Yum." He seized Lee's paw and coaxed him to walk with him. He was apparently going to go for a stroll. They left the library, having to pass by more humans that were frustrated at their noisy behavior. As they passed the librarian, a human female, she stated, "You can't come back anymore, Don. You're too noisy."

"Uh! That was the first time, ever!" He replied, but she smiled and told him she was jesting. Then the two males rushed out, Don leading the chase, but Lee ending it as he leapt onto his love's back and caused them to fumble to the grassy lawn. Lee, once again, tried to pin Don down under his weight, but Don wriggled free of his groping paws and scurried away. Lee watched Don spin to face him and grin, hands held out, as if waiting for another lunge. Lee scoffed and walked off.

"Yeah right, I'm done." He babbled through a laugh.

"What!" Don stepped quickly to join him. The two were now walking toward the garden as the last light of the day slowly disappeared.

"I'm not coming after you when you're like that. You'll probably flip me or something."

"I can't do that!"

No more talking, Don was out of breath from the exercise. Lee noticed this and shook his head, silently planning to get Don and himself into some physical education sessions. If he and Don were to be openly playful with each other, it would be more fun if both were strong enough to carry each other's weight and romp more aggressively. Lee had the sudden urge to bite into Don's tail. But he would wait, for he would rather put his mouth around a different appendage of his.

As they passed a few clusters of eelnods, who were heading to their sex play, Lee noticed them all stare and become silent as they saw Don pass. To them, this eelnod was the maniac that had assaulted a female a few days back and attacked those who had tried to stop him. Lee felt proud to be such a close friend to such a notorious person. He knew it was pompous, but he thought it was funny all the same. As they passed, Lee moved to the other side of Don so that his love was between him and the group. Don met their glares and everyone rushed to either get to the gathering quickly or to avoid conflict.

It took more than ten minutes to walk from the library to the garden. Lee's pulse had gone tachycardia, although it was not the medically chronic sort. Merely the sight of Don and the ensuing proximity was enough to cause the raise in heart rate. Don was his chronic love. Don's heart was continually normal, his anticipation was non-existent at this time. But he knew that Lee was wanting to do anything that Don would be willing to do. He could sense it from the aroma Lee was giving off. Though his sense of smell was not as good as Lee's, he could practically feel the pheromones emanating from him.

It made him feel confident, essential, essentially. The fact that he could draw such an intimate effect from the older eelnod made him smile. The smile faded though, for he knew that, biologically, it did not take much stimulus to sexually arouse one of his own species. Nevertheless, he convinced himself that he held the power to do so. If he wanted, he could control Lee; he could deny or initiate the love that his friend wanted, and he could set how far to go and exactly what could be done. While Don was thinking this, Lee was pondering what he wanted to do to Don.

Soon, they arrived and their thoughts switched to others. Don pushed the garden door open, stepped through, and allowed his friend passage. The two males then stopped and pressed close to each other to inspect their situation. They were not alone, they could smell that a few humans had passed there recently. Both animals instinctively pointed their ears forward as the sound of the humans' voices became reverberant enough to vibrate their eardrums. The precise location could not be determined, but both Lee and Don knew that the humans were far from them, very close to the outer wall. Don explained that there was another exit, the second being merely a hole in the wall that led to a passage back to the living building. Lee hopefully thought that the humans would leave that way.

Don walked towards the gazebo, being careful to step around the flowers in the ground around him. The moon above was still bright enough to illuminate slightly, but if it were not for the lamp post, Lee would not have been able to see his love very well at all. Eelnods had enhanced nocturnal vision, but it was no substitute for the daytime acuity that could give Don the glory that Lee always found surrounding him. Lee followed Don into the gazebo and found that something had changed.

"I got Ivan to get the superiors to cushion the sofa." He explained while sitting down. Lee could see it was so, for previously it had been a bench, simply a wooden frame. Now, it was softly padded.

"Ah..." The other replied as he sat down next him.

"It's warm out."

"Yes it is. I really like it, soon it'll be hot and muggy. I love that, don't you?"

"Yep." Lee nudged up close to him. Don slid his nearest arm around Lee and pulled him closer, both of them nuzzling their muzzles. Lee immediately began to stroke his loves chest and Don flinched. That was something new.

"What? I thought you weren't ticklish!" Don giggled.

"I guess there's a hidden spot."

"Geez, you'd think I'd've hit that by now." They both giggled then and nuzzled each other again. Lee moved his tickling up to Don's cheek while pushing his own snout up along his love's neck and his ear. He practically forced his nose into the outer canal and inhaled Don's aroma. He groaned and Don shivered at the sensation of Lee's breath in the ear. Don waited for Lee to put him in the trance he was used to, but Lee's touching was not as gentle as before. Lee was too occupied with sniffing along Don's head and face, feeling the warmth of his body to his great joy.

Then Don pushed him off a bit and flopped down to his back, throwing his legs up onto Lee's lap. Lee smiled at the quizzical behavior and grabbed his friend's legs. Don sighed heavily and relaxed, he was either not in the mood or was horribly teasing Lee. Lee did not care, whatever Don was doing, he would eventually get into his pants.

Lee grasped one of Don's feet and began rubbing it. It was not cold, and the pads of his soles were not callous in the slightest; they were soft and tender to the touch. He began to massage it fully and Don agreed with a pleasurable moan. The dark-haired eelnod used his right hand to rub Don's feet and used his other to run his nails along his shins and thighs. But the slacks were in the way.

"Hey Don," he began while reaching to unfasten the garment, "could you take these off? I just want to feel your legs better." Don did not verbally reply; he promptly removed the clothing and scrunched them off his legs, throwing them to the ground. Lee nodded, satisfied as it hit the ground and Don was left in his underwear. Today, Don had not donned his normal white shirt, and neither had Lee put on his own.

Lee resumed his caressing, running both his hand up then down the boy's legs and slipping his digits between his fat toes. Don kept silent and closed his eyes, but opened them when Lee began to bend the knee of one leg. Lee pushed the leg up and pulled the foot to his head level and drew his tongue across the entire sole. Don frowned, but not in disapproval, for Lee had done such things several times before, yet that sort of attention had always left Don mystified.

Next, Lee slid each of Don's toes into his mouth and sucked it lightly, rolling his tongue along the soft pad, drooling his spit down to roll along to the heel. He gripped tightly, as if to keep Don from kicking or puling away. Don would do neither, especially the former, and he was enjoying the tongue bath quite immensely. He liked the feel of Lee's warm tongue on the bottom of his feet. That area of his body rarely receiving such a gentle sensation. He loved the heat of Lee's breath on his toes and the soft biting he was doing.

As Lee did this to both Don's feet, Don teased Lee further by spreading his toes and curling them around the warm tongue and cheek. The stimulation had aroused Lee; half of his phallus had escaped the sheath already. Sucking on Don like that was good to him, but not as good as it had been while sucking his erection the few nights before.

And then he stopped, dropping Don's legs onto the cushion as he jumped up and straddled his friend. There he was, positioned on hands and knees directly above Don, staring into his eyes. He could see apprehension in Don's eyes, and Lee knew that Don was worried about what Lee was doing, if he were being to forward and forceful. On the contrary, Lee was trying to be as gentle with his actions, as told by his next move.

He leaned down, bringing his face to Don's, and gently licked his chin. Don closed his eyes again and brought both his hands up to the male's shoulders above him. Lee drew a paw over to Don's face and grasped it as much as he could, wrapping the fingers around his jaw and forehead, and rubbed up and down the entire length of his snout. It was the most extensive contact that Lee had ever given Don, and they both enjoyed it.

Don flicked his own tongue out and met Lee's, the older one taking Don's mouth into a deep kiss. They explored each other's maw, Lee running his tongue along his love's teeth and pushing against the muscle nudging his own. Don was gripping Lee's shoulders tightly now, wrapping his forearms under them and curling his fingers around the tops. And although intense, the kiss was paced and not sloppy.

Lee was fully erect now, the combination of Don's scent and the warmth of his bodily closeness and tongue causing him to become excited faster than ever before. He relinquished all memory of Don's evasion and immediately moved a paw down to grasp his love's genitals and stimulate them. Don loudly groaned and broke the kiss.

"Are you gonna do what you did last time?" He asked.

"I'd really like to. Will you let me do it all the way though?"

"Uh-huh." Lee was pleased beyond belief and moved up, letting air slip between them. He wiggled down to where he was positioned in front of Don's groin and quickly moved his head down to nuzzle the sensitive parts under the cloth. Don submitted all his senses to Lee and allowed his body to respond without his psychological distortion. He became erect quickly.

Lee could smell it, and he pulled Don's underoos down to allow the stiff cock freedom. The cooler air of outside touched his shaft to his exhilaration, and the second swell of pleasure came when Lee put the entire length into his mouth and closed his lips around it. Don either said something or groaned, but either one, it was of undeniable pleasure.

The black-haired boy began sucking his friend. He moved his tongue along the warm, moist shaft and slowly moved his head along to give it further friction. Don's mouth hung open, his tongue hanging out; he was panting. Lee did not use either of his paws to pump the shaft as he had before. He focused one of his hands on Don's balls though. He took them into his digits and rolled the fingertips along the round organs.

Don groaned loudly and raised his hips up, as if to give more room for Lee's sucking, and gripped the cushions of the couch. His tongue continued to flop about as he panted. In some strange reflex, he flicked the tongue outward as if there were something there to bring into his mouth. He knew what he wanted. Don wanted to know how Lee could possibly enjoy it so much.

"My god..." he groaned, then chuckled, "I want... to..." Lee paid him little heed, merely a glance up, not pausing in the fellatio for a moment. Don could not believe it himself, it was as if something had taken control of him. Perhaps it was merely the influence of Lee's behavior.

"I want to suck you, Lee." But it did not register right away. Lee, by instinct, believed Don had spoken a completely different string of words. The pause only embarrassed Don, thinking that Lee thought his statement so foolish as to ignore it. But Lee slowly realized that Don did request it.

"Wait, what did you say?" He asked, letting Don's cock fall from his mouth.

"Uh... nothing."

"No, it's all right buddy. Did you really say what I think you said?" He spoke quickly, the sucking had gotten him out of breath, wanting to get the answer fast.

Don sighed and nodded, "Yeah, I did." Lee snickered and grabbed the hot, wet phallus into his hand and slowly began stroking it.

"Right now? We can do it at the same time you know?"

"Yeah, I really do." Lee grinned, his heart racing, his mind too completely absorbed by the intensity of the moment to realize how profound it was. He quickly searched from side to side. He could easily position himself beside Don, for the bench was wide, made for human legs, and the bodies of two eelnods could lay juxtaposed with no discomfort.

The black-haired one practically ripped off his pants then crawled forward and swung his legs past and above Don's head, the sudden movement causing Don to flinch for fear of being kicked. Lee nestled in between his lover and the backboard of the sofa/bench and bent his legs so that Don could successfully and comfortably access his genitals. Then he waited, Don only staring at him, his face flushed, nervous as hell.

"You've never done it before right?" Lee asked stupidly, the answer was obvious. But it was obvious that his moody love boy held many secrets.

"No, I don't... I don't know how to."

"It's easy. You just lick it a lot and put in your mouth, wrap your lips around it and suck it a little. Easy." Lee reached down to pull of his underwear but hesitated. "You sure you want to?"

"Yes, I really do want to." Don was certain. He wanted to know what it felt like, for it was apparently a greatly satisfying thing to do. He knew that Lee had always wanted to suck him, and now that Don had allowed it, he wanted to feel it for himself.

"Okay, just like I said. Use your hand too, and don't worry about your teeth, it's not as big a deal as people say."

"Yeah, I noticed that time when you... you know?" Lee nodded and snickered, then he pulled his underwear down past his balls and let the warm, wet member fall near to Don's face. The scent hit Don strongly and he had to move his nose away. Lee watched him, not caring if his gaze was making Don nervous, and leaned down to continue his oral stimulation, licking Don's cock around the plump head and stroking the shaft up and down.

Don did not want to allow his apprehension to cause a panicked delay or to cause Lee to become upset. He grasped Lee's phallus, gripping all four digits around it. It was the first time he had ever touched Lee's genitals intentionally. He began stroking him off, using his left hand. After a few moments of that he got the courage to touch it with his tongue, pausing the strokes to lap at the head with quick flicks.

Lee thought his heart skipped a beat. He had gotten head hundreds of times before by eager youngsters. But this was a boy of his love's first time, and it was Don. Neither Don's touch nor his tongue was especially good, but it was the fact that they belonged to Don that added the overwhelming erotica.

"Oh god, Don..." Groaned Lee, to Don, it sounded like he was in pain.

"What, what did I do?"

"Nothing... that feels so good," he breathed, panting now as Don was, "I just can't believe your finally doing this with me. I'm just... I'm about to come, don't stop, please." Don frowned at the prospect of Lee's ejaculation.

"I don't gotta swallow it do I?"

"No, no, you don't have to buddy. Just... point it away from you. But please, don't stop." He begged, not even able to continue his own stimulation. So Don continued with his, holding Lee's phallus at the base and finally sucking it, using his tongue to encircle the head. But he could not seem to slide it into his mouth beyond that, however, and he actually found it frustrating that he could not get all of Lee inside. Lee did not care, the act of Don simply touching him so gently was the perfect sex that he had ever felt. To Lee, this was not fornication, for he felt that, in Don, he had his mate.

As Don sucked harder and massaged the base still, Lee buried his face into his lover's belly and tried to keep the reflex of humping at bay, for he would not dare offend Don so badly. Then with a low growl he spat, "Don! It's..." It truly was spat, not in the harsh sense, but he was drooling fiercely.

Don let the member slip out of his warm mouth as the first shot of semen jolted from the tip, almost landing in the stimulator's maw. Lee gasped and panted while he shot his load out, each spurt jolting the phallus, Don grabbing onto it to keep from getting moistened by the viscous liquid. He did not count the shots or the amount of them, it was soon over and Lee was left moaning in a droning tone and panting for breath.

The younger eelnod watched as Lee held still for a few moments, then raise his head almost wearily. Don was not sure, but he thought that Lee was crying. When he shifted and crawled up to kiss Don, it was evident that he was indeed crying. Don knew it was joyous, that Lee was very happy with the attention that Don had finally given him. It made Don happy, too, but now that control he had thought of earlier was just strange to him.

"Don, I love you so much." Lee crooned into his ear. Don loved him too, in a way, but he was still scared to explore that thought, he did not want to admit loving him. He was upset with himself for not being able to conceive of his own perception of love, whether simply feeling the friendly love for Lee was defined as being in love, or if he were capable of only casual, sexual, love. In any case, he enjoyed the pleasure that Lee was evidently feeling.

Lee had been nuzzling him for a few moments, nipping at his jaw line with his lips. Then another idea struck him, this one was much more prolific, more erotic. He slowly raised his head to gaze into Don's eyes.

"You're still a virgin, aren't you?" Don's reply could not come. He had figured that with what he had just done to Lee, he was not. His knowledge of sex was truly non-existent.

"Uh... I don't know. I thought that what I just did made me not." Lee sighed and shook his head. For Lee, oral sex did not qualify as the loss of virginity.

"No, buddy, it takes more than that." He thought of a way to phrase what he wanted to say, "You've never penetrated anyone?"

"No."

"No one's penetrated you?"

"Come on, Lee!"

"All right, Sorry." He grinned and told Don to sit up. But he did not, he was unsure of what Lee's next goal was. Don did not want to be penetrated by Lee; sodomy caused anxiety in him. But then again, he was not willing to deny Lee after seeing how much joy he had caused him. Deep in his mind, he only wanted to give Lee as much pleasure possible before the more personal thoughts of his evasion and apprehension resurfaced.

"It's all right Don, I'm not gonna do anything to you. I want you to do something to me." Don swallowed and sat up, Lee lightly holding on to his shoulders. Lee then pulled off his underwear and dropped them to the ground; he was no longer erect, but fully unsheathed. He then settled down onto his back and told Don to take his underwear off as well. Don obeyed, but he was all questioning.

"What are we doing?" He wondered, and Lee grinned.

"I want you inside me, love." To this, Don gasped, an outward gasp, and gaped.

"What? Are you serious?"

"Of course, Don," Lee said seriously, "You need to feel it, to be inside someone. And besides, you need to get your orgasm out don't you?"

Don could not disagree with the logic; he wanted to get off badly, but to actually make love to Lee was something totally out of the blue. But dammit, he needed it. Never in his life had he ever dreamed or unconsciously fathomed the act of doing such a thing. If he ever truly had, he cold more readily make a decision.

"How do I do it?" Lee smiled and pulled him closer till he Don was leaning forward.

"Just push your cock against my tail-hole. Then ease it in, it's easier than sucking me off, okay?" Don nodded and reached down, grasping his stiff member. Then he did as instructed, moving the tip of his phallus against Lee's anus. But he hesitated there, it was too strange. He considered backing off and saying that there was no way he could do it.

"You're not going to, are you?" Lee asked, he was not disappointed.

"I can't Lee. That's way too far for me." Lee chuckled and sat up, grabbing his friend's shoulders.

"I would have been surprised as hell if you did, honestly. No matter, I'm gonna have to suck you off now, and if you fucking stop me, I'll slap the hell outta you, okay?" Don agreed and leaned back as Lee nudged his head against his belly. He knew that Don was eager to come and Lee wanted to give it to him just as eagerly.

He swallowed Don whole and began sucking him vigorously, finishing what he had started earlier. He was quick to climax, not as quick as Lee had been, but he felt it come to him strongly and he grabbed Lee's head. Lee was both surprised and delighted as Don started humping his mouth, then within moments he began spurting his seed down Lee's gullet, the dark-haired eelnod swallowing it all, adoring every moment of it.

Don ejaculated the same amount of semen he had many nights before. Lee tried to gulp it down smoothly, but in this position, and with Don's bucking and thrusting, Lee found the come to be dripping down out of his mouth and into Don's fur. Lee did not feel offended or violated at Don's instinctive reaction to the fellatio, he loved it in fact, but he would not have tried it on Don. Don was not fully accepting of his love, and he would definitely not be pleased with that sort of rough kinesthetics.

The rich aroma of Don's seminal fluid filled his nostrils and excited him, once again becoming sexually aroused. This was the flavor of Don he had wanted so badly before. He enjoyed the tang of his spunk, he loved the feel of Don's throbbing shaft in his mouth and the sounds from Don's throat as he continued to hump his tongue. But none of it compared to the release Don had given him before.

It had been the turning point in their relationship, from now on Don would either find Lee's presence awkward as hell or he would become infatuated like Lee himself and fall in love. Either way, neither of them could deny how defining it had been. Lee did not want to get aroused again, for he knew that he would not get off unless he jerked himself. And doing it all himself would be so impossible after feeling Don's muzzle containing him like it had.

Then another shocker.

Don pushed his friend's head off his phallus and dove down to suck on Lee again. This caused him to gasp, "Don!" Don did not hesitate this time, for he engulfed as much as Lee's cock as he could and slobbered over it as heavily as possible. It seems that those pheromones emitted from Lee's genital region had gotten to him more efficiently. The young eelnod now found that he enjoyed the act of fellatio as Lee did. The feel of someone in his mouth that loved him so much, and knowing it gave them so much delectation, excited him greatly.

But he had moved too late, for soon after his first orgasm, Don's carnality plummeted and he slowly began to lose interest in sucking his friend. But Lee was quick to come again. The older one had been hunched over his friend as he received the second best fellatio in his life and he pat Don's back, telling him that it was coming again.

Don jerked up and dropped Lee's member as it shot out another load, the sympathetic division in his brain working twice that night to deliver his rapture. Don allowed it to soak him again, the globs of semen splashing onto his belly and chest once again. Lee was leaning against Don, panting wildly, his saliva dripping onto don's back to further wet him. The ejaculating one groaned noisily and calmed as his orgasm leveled off and his muscles relaxed.

Both males relaxed, Don and Lee falling into each other's embrace. They were both exalted at each other's attention and treatment. Both had given everything they had and gotten it in return to the greatest extent. It had been a perfect evening. Lee gripped Don's body, one paw on his shoulder, the other against his neck, his mouth open, still panting, his face nestled against Don's muzzle.

"Oh Don..." he breathed softly, the paw on Don's neck curling its digits around the contours of the muscles. "You are my perfect mate." Don's heart had been returning to normal rate after Lee's last climax, but that statement alarmed him.

"Will you accept my love, finally, Don?" Continued Lee, leaning away to look at Don closely.

"Lee... I am..." Was his immediate response, but Lee covered his lover's mouth quickly.

"Don't worry about it, Don." Don breathed a sigh of relief, for he suddenly viewed the request as a jest. He could not accept such a ridiculous offer, he would not consider it. He would give Lee the love he wanted, but he would not devote himself to Lee. His answer was ready, but Lee apparently did not want to hear it.

Lee suggested they attend the bath house again, to clean the spooge off of Don's belly. After gathering their clothes, they ran, like last time, to the area and both used the hot showers. With a quick dry, they left and headed upstairs to Don's room where they both mutually decided to rest that night. There was something there, though, that caused them both grief. One of Mary's friends, a female eelnod.

They had come halfway to the point of meeting her when they knew who it was. Don's mood leveled to demure and Lee's to irritation. They approached her and were ready to convey that they did not care for what she could possibly have to say, but she spoke first.

"Don, Mary wants you to know that she's beyond mad at you."

"That's to be expected." He replied curtly as he motioned for her to step so he could open the door.

"She wants you to know," the female continued, "that she will make you pay for it." Then off she walked, down the hall and to... who cares. Don stared down that hall, down the direction she had gone, staring as his demure turned to furstration.

"Forget about it Don." Lee said as they entered his room.

"No! She had it coming." He demanded with a slight kick to the door, the attack slamming it shut.

"Yeah, but you can't be surprised at her anger towards you."

"It doesn't matter." He growled, stepping forward and started rummaging around on the desk. Don had rearranged the furniture in his room a day earlier after letting the disaster sit for several days. "No matter what, she has to fucking get her way." He held out his hands and sighed with the statement, as if whispering to something that he held. Lee was unsure of whether to leave his friend for the oncoming depression or to comfort. Neither, he chose to remain stationary.

Don shrugged and flopped down onto his mattress. Lee moved forward a step, hoping that Don would not request his leave. So they waited for a few more moments for the emotion in the air to dissipate.

"Are you gonna lay down?" Don asked as he crawled towards the wall to give Lee room to fit. Lee nodded in compliance and scurried to cuddle up beside Don.

"I'm really very happy with you Don. I love you so much." Lee then applied gentle kisses to his friend's neck and face.

"I love you too, Lee." Don said, easily confirming in Lee's mind of their mate-ship. They embraced, warm arms surrounding both bodies. They would sleep well that night. The notion of Mary's anger was of no consequence; Don would apologize tomorrow. He wanted to be happy, and he wanted to make everyone happy. From now on there would only be peace, and no misery.
