My Brother's Future

________________________________________________________________________

Rues lounged against the maple head-board of his cozy little bed. His long flowing tail wrapped around his form as he sat curled into a ball, simply killing time. Occasionally he'd grab a tootsie-roll and pop it in his maw. Chewing them prolonging, the canine-like dragon would close his eyes while savoring the sweet chocolate taste and then swallow. "What a boring day," he remarked to himself. Opening his beautiful azure eyes he noticed his candy supply was running low. An hour ago the plastic bag was full. Sadly now it had dwindled down to maybe twelve pieces.

Staring in light disappointment at the nearly vacant bag Rues sighed. No sooner had the gasp passed his lips did he hear his cell-phone start to chime. "Well that's weird," he commented looking at the caller Id. It was a number he hadn't seen before, but seemed to be another cell-phone. Deciding answering it might help brake up the monotony of the day, he held the tiny device to his ear and pressed the 'okay' button. "Umm, Hello? May I ask who's calling?"

Briefly there was a sniffling sound on the other end of the line and then a voice that brought Rues unbridled happiness. The voice was Leon's. "It's me ya' little dope," stuttered out almost as an insult but sounded like the most beautiful music Rues had ever heard. "I just called to, ummm... say I love you and... Rues, what will you be doing tomorrow?" Being completely dumbfounded by the strange question, Rues blinked and spat out the obvious response. "School, why?" In the background he heard someone chuckling. Before the little brother could ask who else was there, Leon propositioned something bizarre, but so tempting. "Well, would you think they'd excuse you to join me in therapy?" Leon waited patiently for his brother's response, silently pleading with his eyes to the floor. Though the gaze went unseen, it was as if those big yellow eyes were really peering directly into Rues's. "I... I'll need them to sign off on a doctor's note and I dunno' what our parent's will say to it..."

After a moment of Leon discussing something with somebody named 'Jack' the older wolf chuckled a promising response. "Relax, we can get that done. Here's what we worked out. You head to class just like any other day. Around Twelve you'll get a call from the office lettin' you come see me. From there we will, as Jack put it, see how things progress. Sound good?" Of course it did! Here was the perfect chance to both skip class legally and spend some much needed time with his boyfriend. Now Rues wasn't quite sure what exactly they could do together, but Leon's voice alone was a hopeful sign. "Alright, I can't wait!" the younger dragon exclaimed, raising up from his bed. The sheets followed his motion and fell in a lump by his ankles. "Great to hear, Bro. I'll see you after a bit. Oh by the way, this is my therapist's cell so ummm, make sure mom and dad don't get this number."

There was a clicking sound and then the lined beeped. Smiling all the same Rues hurriedly rushed for his closet. Disaster struck as his hind-paw, so intertwined with the blankets, stumbled and he fell face first. "OOOOOoooooowwww!" whined a sore dragon-pup after crashing to the floor. A small trickle of blood dripped from his nose as Ruse tried to regain his composure. "Dammit, that's just great..." he mumbled seeing a stream of crimson red pour into his colourless fur, tinting it a light rosy mess.

For the next ten minutes an anxious teenager buzzed around the tiny room, playing out various scenarios for the upcoming day. All the while he attempted to stop his nose-bleed. When the flow finally ceased Rues discarded the damp tissues in wire rimmed waste-basket. "So I guess I'll need another shower now," the little dragon mused at the feeling of a blood stained maw. It's not like such an idea was anything Rues would object to, having multiple baths a day. Infact he loved the very notion of it. Why not take the chance to blow away thirty minutes on self-appearance? So he gathered his toiletries, towel, and fresh briefs into his arms then headed down the hall. Life was better when you took longer baths.

* * *

Giving a distinct, drawn-out creak the front door creaked open as Leon walked inside. In the distance he heard his ride drive off just as he pulled the door softly closed behind him. The older wolf had a goal in mind, sneak past everyone and seclude himself in the solitary confines of his personal space and sanctuary; his room. "Hi ya' Leon!" blurted out his younger brother from the kitchen. Effectively it destroyed any chance of his previous intentions. "Hello, Rues," Leon replied drearily, eyes to the carpet below him. Great, just great, the timber thought, now he'd have to give his parents the play-by-play of how his 'therapy' was.

So very begrudgingly Leon tromped through the house and into the kitchen, dropping his bag casually next to his little brother. "Hello Rues," he sighed out again "Hello Mom and Dad..." His parents greeted with equally less than enthusiastic expressions. The tension built as he exchanged single syllable answers to the quires about his day. Even as he sat on the side-lines the entire display was painfully taxing to Rues, so attuned to his lover's extreme discomfort. He observed idle and wordless as Leon did his best to explain as little as possible, perhaps in attempt to end the whole bothersome inquisition. But after ten minutes of their incessant nagging, both Rues and his brother had reached the threshold of tolerance for such a bothersome borages of pointless questioning. Quickly Rues formulated a plan for escape.

"Hey Mom, I just remembered practice is in thirty minutes! I won't make if I walk." His voice had the most convincing sense of urgency so each parent agreed to assist, relieving Leon from the verbal assault. He was glad his brother did that. Truthfully the young wolf was mere moments from becoming hostile and the situation would resulted in shouting.

Rues stole a quick glace at his brother before vanishing to his room. "Thank you" Leon mouthed and the sly little dragon gave a empathetic wink, his way of saying 'I've got your back, but you'll owe me.' Leon knew exactly what he'd owe. But that could wait until tomorrow, until the two boys had some private time to spend with one another. So instead of vanishing to his room right away as he'd previously planned, the elder son simply sat, a dreamy far-off look in his eyes, and imagined what lay in the hours to come.

* * *

Dancing as wind blew around him, a frail figure spinning happily through a moonlight field. Deeply shaded ferns brush against his elegant build as it reflected the ivory moon above, pure as untouched snow. Leon opened his eyes to see the dream world fade fast but the smile of its inhabitance did not. Those frozen lake blue eyes stayed, peering back down at him. "Morning Rues, again with this?"

Without a word the younger teenager just nodded. His long tail curled excitedly towards the roof and eight eager fingers wove around the waistband of Leon's pajamas. "Do I even wanna' see what my clock says?" the timber wolf asked letting a soft yawn escape his muzzle. Glancing off to his left, Rues took a paced look at the little device. In red digital numbers it displayed 6:25. So with a heart-filled laugh he shook his head while grinning mischievously. "What matters is that you're up now brother, so come on and get up with me." Special emphasis on the word was put on the word 'up,' letting his lover know what the dragon had his intentions set upon. What an instigator.

"You're outta' your damn mind, dude." Leon griped a familiar line, feeling a pressure increasing about his hips. Morning sex wasn't normally an idea Leon would decline his lover but today was far too risky. Afterall the commotion those last few days their parents were set on high alert for anything even remotely suspicious concerning Leon's sexuality.

"Yeah and I bet that you're outta' your sheath already; mister morning wood. So much for sleeping in the buff. Come on Lemme' see it!" Rues retorted his voice peaking and tongue hanging from his adorable frizzy maw. True, Leon had taken to sleeping with clothes on recently, but that was merely a precaution. He couldn't afford his folks bursting in first thing and seeing the poor unconscious wolf sporting a semi. Way too embarrassing for everyone involved. So despite it cramping his style, among other things, Leon chose to keep his tool tucked away for the past few nights.

"No way in hell. If you see it you'll wanna' touch it. Since I'm such a loving brother I'd say 'yes' obviously. If you touched it, you'd play with it. And if that happened you'd then have to ride it. So no, you won't be seeing it any time soon." Patiently Leon waited for his brother to take the hint and just give up. Instead of behaving and obeying his brother's wishes Rues egged the wolf on even further; pawing, kneading, and rubbing Leon's tummy. "Listen bro, we can't and you know why we can't." Moaned a wolf in serious distress, a victim of a tediously tempting rub down. "Coupled with many other reasons they would hear your loud mouth getting off and my bed schootin' around as I plowed ya' into it. Mom and Dad aren't stupid man, it's just a friggin' miracle that they somehow haven't caught us shacking up by this point. Besides, with everything that has been going on, I just don't know when we could fit this particular aspect of our relationship back into our schedules."

Was Leon really just going to decline sex outright? Golden eyes trailed away from his beloved's as the notion of intercourse seemed to have been sealed away forever. Worry in Rues's face must have reflected like a polished mirror because even only half awake it was painfully clear to Leon. "Not..... ever again?" asked a pair of furry white lips in a coarse whisper of remorse.

Deeply sighing a response of appropriate measure was made. "No, nothing like that little brother. You still got the stuff to get me all hot and sweaty but we just havta' put all our fun on hold, just until all of this..." Leon paused drawing a circle in the air at the ceiling and then continued even more seriously than before."All of this crap blows over. We got a cold setting in the shower for a reason by the way." Not exactly the words a horny dragon teen wanted to hear but it wasn't just his sex drive doing the pleading. Sure, Rues defiantly wanted sex, no denying how great it was. Hearing he'd have to go without was certainly an aggravating piece of news, but there was more to miss than having his brother's inches inside him. He'd miss the smells, every single scent that brought his heartbeat to a pounding thunder. Rues would also miss the chance for everything else in his life to stop mattering for an hour, or how ever long Leon lasted. But most of all, the single fact that would drive the pale canid dragon almost to insanity, he would have to go without the immeasurable closeness he felt during it. That indescribable warmth of their two bodies becoming as one when they collided together in acts of love and desire.

Sadly he slumped off the comfy stomach and let out his perfected 'I-am-so-sad-right-now' moan. "Okay," sulked the defeated dragon cub, his left leg bent while the other rested perpendicular across his older sibling's. "Do you at least want to grab something to eat, it is breakfast time afterall."

Breakfast. Burnt toast and pawfuls of sugary cereal had become the norm with his adopted brother but Leon felt so bad he consented all the same. "Sure, go get something lined up and I'll meet you in the kitchen." Fighting the urge to watch his brother's taut rump bounce out of the room Leon took a deep sigh. No sex was really going to be a bitch for him too. But sometimes sacrifices like this had to be made. Standing, Leon pounderd what to wear. No doubt Jack would read deeply into why the wolf chose to dress like that. Goddam therapists. Why did they have to analyze every single aspect of their patients? Not to mention that 'yote would have a field day malwing over Rues's unusual garb. That is unless Leon pulled a little trick to get his brother to dress in something a little mundane, say like coping a feel in exchange for an everyday outfit.

Going with a nice pair of faded jeans, Leon adjusted his waistline and meandered out into the hallway shirtless. "Nothing too strange, please god, just let him be normal for once in his life." he muttered making his way for the kitchen. Mom was in her room, no doubt preparing for work, and was easily avoided.

"Oh fuckin' hell dude! I've seen you burn toast before but this shit's ridiculous!" Exclaimed an alarm timber when the fog of charred food hit his face. "It's not my fault!" Rues cried in a high pitch sob at his siblings griping. "The thing just shorted out with the bread stuck inside!" Struggling with the stench hanging in the air Leon walked over to the counter, waving the smoke away from his face. "Well you're lucky the smoke detector didn't go off. Here let me fix it." Paws outstretched he watched discontentedly as his little brother passed the toaster over. With a scoff the older male peered inside.

"Yep, you really broke it this time." announced a mildly irate wolf, still looking over the wasted appliance in dismay. "Dad probably has to just get another one now. But on the plus side that takes some of the pressure off of me form being there 'fag of a son.' So yeah, thanks for that." Rues just rolled his eyes and waited patiently for his big brother to make the situation seem better.

After some fighting with the item in question it was decided beyond repair. "Yep, it be broke." Leon announced in his normal, slightly belligerent tone, adding an exasperated sigh for effect. Apathetically he tossed it into the plastic garbage barrel and looked back at those baby blues. "Cereal then?" A subtle yet down-hearted nod and a younger brother took a far spot by the sink. "It's not my fault..." reiterated a mopey sixteen-year-old, eyes nailed to the linoleum floor; desperately trying his best to avoid the reality of his actions. Leon did his best to console his brother.

"Hey, calm down man, they run like only fifth teen dollars a pop. It's really not as big of a deal as I was making it. Besides the room smelling like a forest fire, nothing's hurt. It isn't a reason to go all emo on me like that." That last line Leon shot off over his shoulder while rummaging for what else they could eat. Even though his intentions were good the approach he was taking only seemed to be demeaning Rues. Instead the tired wolf switched the conversation over to a more pleasant note. "Anyway, F' it. I noticed you're still kicking it in your pj's, why don't you go throw on some snazzy dud's; jack will surly have a mental meltdown when he see's how you dress." Almost as if flicking a switch, Rues's happy-go-lucky vibe shot back to life and the dragon sprung to his hind-paws. "Really? I can wear whatever I want?!?" Having instantly regretting saying that the timber wolf forced a grimace of a smile and waved his brother a shaky thumbs up. "yeah... suppose so...." It was a reply given through clenched teeth and a droopy set of ears.

Bang!

Several chairs shook as Rues jolted from round table like an olympic sprinter, each paw in a mad race against the other for the pale dragon's closet. Leon had to stifle a laugh, seeing Rues still act like that was enough to bring so many cheerful memories to the surface. His brother was so peppy today, almost acting identical to when the two of them knocked knees in Leon's bedroom for the first time.

"Wow, and I'm the one in therapy," Leon remarked snidely then turned his attentions back towards what to eat. His options were extremely limited. the cabinet had two types of cereal, brand and fruit flavoured loops, and a box of high fiber granola bars. Yeah, not a very tempting display for a young adult wolf. The fridge, for what it was worth, held higher promises but at a greater risk. If he took a chance at frying anything he'd certainly get an earful from his parents about stove safety. Especially considering the little toaster fiasco. Coincidently there microwave was nearly decade old and took about as long to heat anything. All options weighed, a breakfast burrito was the winner. Besides, as it cooked it would give Leon the chance to 'surpervise' what outfit Rues assembled. Or at very least prepare for the shock by knowing what was coming.

With a casual stroll leon walked up to the giant white box of a fridge, checked to make sure he had time, then popped the door open. It stuck a little bit, some of the moister had frozen around its seal and tiny ice crystals cracked from the intrusion. Apparently nobody believe in eating frozen food in this household.

With his meal underway, it was time to check on Rues. Unfortunately he was one step behind his brother and out sprung a ecstatic younger teen with a joyous bounce in each step. "At least everything's covered..." came half a sigh of relief upon seeing a slightly less eccentric wardrobe than expected. Black denim cut-off shorts and a bright blue tank top that actually covered all of his stomach for a change. It bore a small silver outline of a star boldly in the middle but all things considered Leon couldn't argue with this choice.

"Great, you look... normal, I guess. Anyway there's a burrito on it's way. Did you wanna' split a half with me?" Rues thought about it for a moment, burritos for breakfast? With a tail twitch he gave his bless considering the alternatives. "Sure I guess. It beats the crappy school food. But can I get the 'better' half this time?"

He was kidding, right? How else could Rues possible have the audacity to ask something so asinine? The pathetic plea dripped across the dragon's face said differently and Leon let out a groan. Putting his paws on his hips the older male's expression told the teenager that it wasn't likely to happen. Rues wasn't going to get anymore than the normal morsel he'd get when the two brother's split something. "Hey a growing boy needs his nourishment," retorted the white pup.

"Dude, you're sixteen. You can't go using that argument anymore, it just doesn't work on me. Never had before and certainly isn't going to today." Grumbling, he stormed past Leon and returned back for the kitchen. Knowing how Rues intended to settle this Leon was fast on his brother's heels, his thoughts trained on protecting his stake of there meal. As he closed the distance the timber heard the microwave chime. "Don't you dare put your mitts on it; you dope!" It seemed nothing, not even the love they shared, could break the sibling rivalry of two brothers.

* * *

When he arrived inside Jack's room was empty, completely devoid of life. But instead of worrying himself with the where-abouts of his therapist the young wolf simply strolled over to the leather-lined seat and sunk his full weight down. "Now this is what I call therapy," Leon chuckled lightly leaning back and enjoying the silence. Still he couldn't grant himself the luxury of becoming too comfortable. Jack would be back soon and if he saw Leon sprawled out like that they'd have to 'talk about it.'

Why are you being so lazy, why are you so worn out, why didn't you consider sleeping more, why why why??? It wasn't that Leon resented him, no it was just taxing to know every single word would be picked apart. Aside from that aspect Jack seemed realistically comforting. He would always explain his motivations behind the exercises and was careful to tread light when the two discussed Leon's assault.

On the wall across the brightly light office a cliche' Rorschach clock chimed eleven hours. Only sixty more minutes Leon thought pleasantly. Maybe not even that long. The sounds of multiple people walking drew closer to the door. Taking it as his que the timber abandoned his comfortable position, sat up slowly, and folded his paws between his knees while holding his breath in anticipation. Just beyond that wooded barricade the familiar voices echoed and the gold tinted knob began to turn.

"Well hello, so nice to see you again, blah blah blah. Let's skip the formals and cut right down to it. One hour, and..." The poor 'yote didn't even have a chance to finish by the time Rues pushed his way into the room and tackled his brother with a hug. "ANYHOW as I was saying," Jack huffed out clearing his throat. "Oh, oops. Sorry about that sir." Rues giggled finally releasing his speechless brother's torso. " It's fine, and no need for formalities like the word 'sir.' Just Jack, okay?" He turned his attention back to Leon as he walked behind his swivel chair. "Leon I want you to fully appreciate the magnitude of this moment, the events that happen here are crucial for us to understand. Now I expect a solid hour of actual discussion before we can let this become as laxed as last time. Infact that's part of the reason Rues is here with us today; or at least that's what his teachers think. Truth being about fifty-fifty. To my understanding, you had some presence concerning the incident?"

The room was dead silent for a split-second. In that time Leon's eyes blazed over and he sprung up from the chair, his bushy tail held high in the air. "Just what the fuck are you trying to say?!? Rues had nothing to do with it!" Both Jack and Rues stared startled by the wolf's harsh reaction but the elder coyote quickly collected himself and took control of the situation the best he could. " Please, calm down. I think you may have misunderstood. Rues's being there for you after the assault is all I meant." Adjusting his posture Leon huffed a soft growl and turned his head away from Jack's. "He's always been there for me, even when that bastard rejected me at the restaurant. Rues has never once let me suffer without at least trying to help me through it."

That touching sentiment brought everyone back to ease. Leon sat back down, his chest thumping, his heart racing like a tempest and his body quivered like an earthquake. "Such passion, it's truly a wonderful thing to hear. Rues, please make yourself comfortable; I can tell today will be a progressive one." With a paw outstretched Jack motioned to a near by chair. It looked comfortable, deep red wood engraved elegantly and a plump green cushion. The little dragon gave it a quick glance and frowned. As one would guess he would have much more preferred to sit next to his brother but did what was suggested. How bad could an hour be? Afterall he'd still be just across the room.

"Okay, just like last time Leon, tell me how you're feeling." After a moment of consideration the young wolf felt like he could be truthful. That's what therapy's for, right? "Well, lately I've been feeling a bit... angry for lack of a better word. I get home and I play pretend catch-up with my parents and I don't see any of my friends. Hell, Rues and I hardly get a hello before I have to hide away in my room. And when I get there all I have left is back work from the classes I miss."

Taking in the young adult's response Jack tapped his index finger on the surface of his desk a few times. "I appreciate the straight-forwardness about that. To relive this let's consider this stress. Are there any nightmares recently? Certain types of frustrations like this can lead to such things. We don't have to discuss them but they are fairly common with this type of situation." Briefly Leon glanced to his left then back up to his counsel. "Nah, not really. I just mostly... umm... dream about something else." Beneath his brown fur a slight blush began to grow, manifesting itself in the wolf's ears the strongest.

Rues didn't quite catch on but Jack was sharp as a razor. The coyote was quick to inquire further, leaving only a chance for Leon's blushing face to intensify. "I see, so are these dreams sexually satisfying?" By the look on the siblings faces you would have sworn Jack just told them a dirty story. "Not... not all the way sexual...." Mumbling the older brother found it hard to hide his embarrassment as a smirk forced its way onto the wolf's muzzle.

Laughing Jack tapped his fingers again and leaned back. "Please Leon, that's nothing to be ashamed about. We are here to help you make a full recovery and help life seem a little less threatening. Besides, it's only sex. But if you're that uncomfortable with discussing it, you know we can happily switch to another topic."

"It's okay, the thing is umm, bro, cover your ears for a moment..." Bewildered Rues obeyed all the same which made Jack raise an eyebrow. "I dream about Rues, naked. Sometimes naked." Leon whispered as quietly as possible. Rues's eyes flashed wide and he began to giggle before he remembered he wasn't suppose to be listening. "Dreaming about your lover is defiantly a good sign of recovery. It means that not only do you two have a strong bond and are committed but that you seem to be moving past the initial reclusive stage." Turning his attention towards the young dragon he waved his paw, bringing the teen actively back into the conversation.

"Be prepared for this next one, epically you Rues." Jack informed the boys. After a deep breath they gave the okay. "Have you two been been sexually active since the last session?" Surprisingly only Rues's face became pink this time. Leon just let out a chuckle. "No, but not because he hasn't tried. We've had to put that on hold for a bit. Sure ya' know why." Leon had finally felt back at ease and began to remember Jack was someone to trust.

Picking up on the wolf's casual body language Jack saw it was time to set the path for a discussion. Rues, however, was a canvas splattered with so many different emotions. He had never expect this kind of friendliness or openness from an authority figure. "Parents finding out about your love? No, that wouldn't be such a great thing for anyone involved. Still I need you to at least consider how it might be effecting your paternal and maternal relationship. They love you Leon, you've proved that by how you've described them last session. Again I'm not condemning your relationship, but consider what's in the future."

Quietly Leon gave half a glance at his lover then back at the floor. He really dwelled on it, knowing the truth wasn't a pleasant thing. "I know... ~sigh~ ...it would tear the house apart. Worse than it is right now. But honestly we've gotten so good at covering it up..." The look on Jack's face told Leon to keep thinking about what lay ahead in the future. "...Maybe one day we won't have to?" Rues interjected saying what his brother wanted too but couldn't.

Scoffing Leon hide his appreciation of that statement. "Rues the shock of you being gay would put 'em in the ground, let alone the fact that we've been at it for this long." Shrugging his shoulder the pale dragon still looked hopeful. "Miles and Kodie are open about..." Leon stopped his brother cold with a glare that said 'shut up or else.' A look he hadn't seen in quite some time; Not since before they were together in the bedroom. Too little, too late. Jack's killer sharp instincts placed it together, or at least partly.

"And who is this lovely couple, friends of yours?" Refusing to give the elder canine the satisfaction Leon just remained quiet, his eyes adverted off the coyote. "No sir," Rues began to confess with a shakiness in his voice. "Not friends but still worth mentioning? Assuming they have a relation similar to yours, perhaps they should be?" Stupid 'yote, thought Leon his eyes lining back up to Jack's.

"Okay two things, first they're our cousins. No, we didn't all fuck or whatever. Second that's their choice, not ours. Miles has never really thought anything through about life. He's not exactly the rule model you should be searching for." Jack had no witty comment or snide remark to interject this time. Instead he just simply raised an eyebrow and continued onward in a calm tone. "Did your discovery of their affections occur before or after the assault?" Leon's face softened, perhaps trying to avoid his own temper. Seeing this made his therapist pleased. Finally it felt like he was breaking new ground and actually achieving headway into the situation.

"It happened a couple nights before." Leon boldly replied, willing to show his trust or at least find a way to change the conversation. "We had a date, Me and Rues. It was actually going to be because of his sweet sixteen," pausing only to grimace at the fact he used such a term as 'sweet sixteen' Leon took a brief swallow and continued. "We went to our mall, where we always go, but this time was a little... ~Sigh~ ... different." He drew out the last word as long as one could stand. "Oh, how so? Did you're relationship tangent off in to a unpleasant place?" The back and forth between the two canines was intense and Rues felt the need to do a little explaining of himself.

"We were going shopping for my new dress." Stonewalled Leon sat with eyes the size of silver dollars. Still not even this total bomb could waver the coyote out of his slightly mundane voice. "And was this a topic of argument between you two? In some relationships something like this can easily cause turbulence between even the strongest of a pair."

Assuming the lead amongst the brothers Leon shook his head sternly. "No, I'd never criticize him like that," With a soft, glowing smile the elder brother looked over to Rues then forwards, inching himself to the side edge of the chair. "I mean, yeah, it blew my brains for half a moment but, come on. You said it yourself, we're inseparable. Too be honest," Chuckling began to crack through his voice and a smirk formed on Jack's face in anticipation as well. "Rues isn't the only crossdresser I've been hanging out with recently. Before you suspect, no; I'm not cheating. We're just mutual friends and actually he helped me get back home after that bastard fucked me over."

Jack seeped it all in, stripping apart the words, looks, and responses of his pupil. With arms folding he leaned forward over his desk and let his head rest upon his knuckles. "I'd like to ask a few brief questions that will be tough to respond to due to the emotions involved. A few for you Leon and a few for you too, Rues." Carefully he attached direct eye-contact to each during the proposition. Each of the two siblings agreed again, Leon followed his younger brother. "Great, Now Leon. Tell me your reaction to your nameless friend whom you meet following the rape."

Good god, it was impossible to control the laughter as Jack finished his little inquiry. Naturally he gave a half concerned expression, then allowed a tentative chance for the wolf to explain the manic explosion of laughter. "Oh, I'm sorry," Leon cracked, wipeing a tear from his grinning face. "It's just, god, that pup has TWO names and the one he introduced himself as makes me howl. My 'friend' doesn't crossdress for the hell of it though. Before you take this the wrong way he's a, ummmmmmm, something not so great professionally... but that doesn't change who he is inside." Now it was Rues's turn to snicker.

How exactly would someone describe that little husky? Perhaps the subject was better left avoided of risk of embarrassment, either of his friend or of himself. "His name is 'sugar' if that tells you anything and you'd have a flippin' field day with that little mixed up pup. Besides I haven't seen his skirted rump for a few days. Different social circles; ya' know."

It was a answer that left a little to the imagination and a lot unexplained but Jack took it none the less. "Okay, acknowledging the question still is only partly answered, I'll come back it later. moving forward, Rues, how do you think your openness of crossdressing affects the relationship?" It wasn't that strange for Rues to actively discuss his affinity for pretty things, truth be told, he had been craving the chance to again for a while.

"Well, sir," began the little white dragon, a smile swelling up on his face. "For a while I kinda' hide it from my bro, but I had this HUGE breakdown on my birthday and he was pretty understanding. Guess you could say we get along okay with it." Rues paused for a moment collecting his thought before going forwards. "See I liked the idea of, well, being a girl and he let me try it out. It was nice for a day but afterall everything was over I like being a guy. Leon said it wasn't fair having a bigger piece than him and not wanting to use it anyhow. So I decided it was a good thing I'm a boy, er, a male I mean." Frustrated and a little ashamed his brother could just blab away something that personal Leon tapped his hindpaw a few times and rolled his eyes.

"Geez, Rues, tell him everything why don't you." Pride tingled over his frizzy white maw and Rues giggled lightly. A certain coyote found it hard to stifle a laugh also. "No it's fine. I don't think anyone should be worried about size issues. It doesn't make you less or more of a man." One could clearly see the irony of the statement.

After crossing his legs Leon glanced over at his brother yet again. It wasn't a stare of impatience or moodiness this time. No, it was one of seduction. Even if the wolf thought the gesture was secretive Jack was able to read it like a page in a book. "Well that's romantic of you Leon but you still have to be subjected to a bit more Q & A before that thought should cross your mind." Plain as day he was called out, despite how the wolf tried to conceal the growing bulge in his pants. On the verge of dying from the constant instances of embarrassment Leon's face blossomed a bright rough, his tail so stiffly pushed down it hurt. "Okay okay, I see that you're still a little uneasy with discussing the three letter word so we'll move on. How about we go back to the plans of the future? Tell me Leon, realistically where do you see yourself in a year, five years, excreta?"

All the other questions were easy in comparison to this and each side knew it. This was one of those things that wasn't just going to disappear just by ignoring it like how the chat about Sugar did; Jack would make sure of it. Yet try as he could, the young timber simply failed to give a response. Because of this dark thoughts began to creep inside his head; did he and his brother Rues really have a future together? The very notion of it churned the wolf's stomach unbearably, wrenching it unmercifully. Leon looked at his paw, dizzy and trembling as the answer came to him. "I can only imagine one with Rues. I don't know where it will be or how we'll get there, but it's the only thing that I can plan on." For a moment it seemed as if he might cry but the eldest son held back his tears for dignity's sake. "We'll take the risks to make that happen. Whatever sacrifices that need to be made are nothing compared to how I feel for you, Rues." Satisfied with the heart-felt announcement Jack now swayed the question towards Rues. Obvious by the way he directed his head, waiting looking at the younger brother.

Giggling as always the dragon was smiles from horn to horn. "Well OF COURSE I'm gonna' be with Leon. But in five years... I dunno, guess we'll have jobs and stuff. Maybe rent a place so I bet life'll be a WHOLE lot easier, ya' know keeping our secret." Jack stood, tracing the out line of his desk as he walked to closer proximity of the pair. He bore a studious look like he was carefully nit-picking over some unforeseen issue. "Leon, Rues, I admire the two of you. Truly I do. And as far as this therapy," Momentarily the coyote paused, letting his arms rest loosely by his hips and then continued. "It is my professional opinion that great progress has been made. Leon you've been through a lot and yet it has left you still a rational, well-enough mannered younger man; aside from the occasional cursing bout. But I chalk that up to adolescence. Not as a result of suppressed anger, though we'll still examine that. Later, of course. In short, because of how you've healed I think you should be cut short from the session end dates, let's say... about half?"

It was an offer no one would pass up. Epically considering that Jack had promised them some 'alone time' should today be beneficial. "Okay," Jack announced loudly in a tone that summed the moment up and clapped his paws together lightly. "How about a I take a brief coffee break for nearly thirty minutes and then I expect some certain tensions can be alleviated, yes?"

It was a little incredulous that a professional would be this lenient and forthright. But why fight the good things in life? "Behave yourselves, well... you know, be respectful not to make a mess. It cost the school a lot to pay for the janitorial crew, but they ARE scheduled to be here by days end anyhow. Something I took the liberty of ensuring." And with that he gave a knowing wink at the boys and slyly walked out, leaving the two brothers to their own devices. "Oh little brother, what fun we can have in thirty minutes," Leon murred, his eyes gleaming with lust for his lover. To the enticement, Rues approached the timber, never fully standing along the way, and crouched by the wolf's knees. "I like the fun we have, Brüderlein, fur ich lieben dich, fur immer mehr." Leon wasn't exactly fluent in german but he had heard the phrase enough to know what it meant. "And I love you too, brother dear." he said as two white fingers slid a zipper down.
