Take A Chance On Me: Chapter 4
Take A Chance On Me
Chapter 4: Save me
It was about 5pm when Chance stepped out of his mothers house holding a box of treats she had baked him and Jake, Rita said her final goodbye and gave her final kissed before heading back inside. Chance got into his truck and headed home. He got all the information and advice from his mother about his proposal to Jake, chance was still giddy about it all and couldn't wait to get every ready. This was the biggest life changing event he was planning and he hoped that his lovely mate would express the same feelings towards him as he did towards Jake. Chance just smiled all the way home thinking of his Jake's facial expression when he finally pops the question. Chance pulled into the junkyard and parked the truck; the sun was already setting behind the pile of used and broken tires in the east. Chance unlocked the door and stepped inside, there was a broken vase on the floor next to the couch, which was odd.
(Man, I hope there are no more rats again) Chance thought as he headed into the kitchen. He put the box down on the table and noticed that there were some empty liquor bottles on the floor, about 4 of them; they were the Raspberry Milk Offs that Chance enjoyed once in a while. He always saved those for special occasions since they're so strong with liquor and not enough milk. The fridge was wide open as well, Chance closed it and started to pick up the bottles when he heard a thump sound coming from upstairs, he put the bottles in the sink and made his way up the steps, he could have swore he heard laughing in his own room as he saw light coming from the bottom crack of the door. "Man Jake, what a way to get wasted on a Sunday" Chance sighed as he entered his room, it was a mess. His clothing everywhere: on the floor, his bed, the lamp shade and the curtains. His bed looked like a hurricane blew by and his personal items here scattered about. There was a figure underneath a blanket on his bed snickering loudly. Chance went to the bed and removed the skeet to discover Jake. He was only wearing his PJ bottoms; he didn't know where his shirt was. Jake's upper body was soaked and still getting wet with sweat. Jake had his hands covering his mouth holding back some snickers; he opened his eyes to see Chance. Jake's eyes were glazed and looked very tired; his pupils were dilated as far as they could go Chance predicted. "Jake?"
"Shhhhh...the big kat can't find me or else he'll punish me" Jake laughed to himself and he tried to get back under the sheet, he continued to drop the linen and fell flat on his face onto the mattress. He looked at Chance for a little bit before moving closer to him, they were face to face now. Jake put his arms around Chance's neck and brought him down on top of Jake who was grinding Chance's crotch. "Chance, I want you inside of me" Jake panted, his tongue stuck out on the side as he breathe in and out quickly, his eyes closed. Chance didn't know what to do, something was wrong with Jake, either he was really drunk or really horny....and drunk. Jake suddenly rolled over now lying on top of the confused tabby kissing him deeply. He moved lower and lower down his mate's chest licking and nipping at his shirt and fur, Chance was moaning. It felt so good but something was not right, he gasped as Jake unbuttoned his pants and bought out Chance's member from his boxers, getting harder by the second. Jake wasted no time; his mouth was drooling at the side a little bit. He opened his mouth and took a large portion of Chance's member inside of it.
"KATS ALIVE!" Chance yelled and he felt Jake's warm wet mouth all over him, going deeper and deeper down his length. Jake was choking as he tried to go all the way down, but he couldn't get all of his motor skills together to do that. Chance was panting and grabbed onto the back of Jake's head. "Jake...what's with you...?" He was cut off when Jake continued to go faster on his member, the warm suction of his mouth made Chance weak all over as he laid on his bed. Jake coughed again and released Chance's member from his mouth and coughed some more. Chance strained a bit to get up, he saw his mate on the ground coughing and breathing fast.
"C...chance" Jake whispered as he fell face first onto the hard wooden floor. Chance dressed himself and went to his lover's side, shaking him softly and holding his hand. Jake continued to cough, Chance picked him up from the ground and into his arms...that when he realized Jake was really hot to the touch. "It hurts...."
"Jake?!?! Jake buddy say something!" Chance said as he tried to get his friend to answer him, Jake just squirmed in his grasp whimpering and sweating. Chance thought to cool off his mate in the bath tub with some cold water; he placed Jake on the toilet seat as he went over to the bath tub and turned on the cold water watching it fill the tub slowly. Jake just sat there leaning against the head of the toilet moaning in pain, he didn't know where he was, all he knew was that he was scared and wanted Chance to be with him now. Chance shot a loot at Jake to see his eyes were barely open, tears were flowing down his fur as he shifted his body every couple of seconds, the tub was half way full and Chance thought he should sink Jake and let it fill to the top when he was inside. The burly cat scooted over to Jake on his knees and tried to scoop him up in his arms again, but Jake pushed back refusing. "Come on Jake, you gotta get in here"
"Leave...me, leave me alone" Jake groaned as he fought Chance's hands away from him. He tried to stand up but didn't have the energy to do so. He pulled himself up by holding onto the sink counter next to him and stood up for a little bit. Chance got up and tried to grab Jake's arm, but he fought back. "Get away from me" Jake slurred as he stumbled towards the bathroom door, Chance quickly wrapped his arms around Jake's waist lifting the lighter tom in the air. Jake wiggled in his grasp and placed both his hands on Chance's arms thinking he could push them away, Jake cried out some more. "GET OFF ME!! CHANCE HELP ME PLEASE" Jake yelled out.
"Jake buddy I'm here holding you, please listen to me" Chance told his love the truth, but Jake continued to yell and holler. Chance took the initiative and moved Jake closer to the bathtub, he was able to slide his feet and lower half of his body inside the icy cold water, but he had to hold down on Jake's shoulders to make sure he stayed inside. Chance didn't like seeing Jake scream and panic as he was kicking the water, he wanted so much for his love to get out of the tub, but he needed to cool down or things could get worse for me. Jake splashed at the water that was getting higher, Chance got drenched in some of the waves that Jake made.
"Chance *cough* it's cold. Chance, its cold! Let me out!!!...*cough couch*...CHANCE!!!!" Jake shivered as he continued to resist, but Chance held him down. Jake's arms scratched at everything it touched, it went past the side of Chance's face and made three diagonal lines cutting down his left eye. Chance growled at the pain, they were only small scratches that bled a little, nothing some alcohol couldn't take care of later on. Jake started to slow down his assault and held onto Chance's arms tightly, his lips were dark purple and his teeth chattered at a fast pace. "Ch.ch.ch.c...chan...chance...e" Jake slurred as he opened his eyes to barely make out the burly toms face which had been scratched by his claws, Chance looked directly into his mates eyes, fur all wet and dripping down his head along with the side of his face.
"Jake, I'm going to dunk you 3 times. I want you to relax and hold you breath" Chance soothingly said to his mate, Jake nodded slowly and held onto his lovers arms. He was slipped into the water quickly for a couple of seconds before returning to the surface drenched and freezing. Jake coughed and gasped for air; he didn't open his eyes but sniffed a couple of times. He was dunked again without warning and brought back up to the surface. Jake spit out some water this time and looked at Chance.
"No mmmore, p.p.p.ppleasssse" Jake cried and whimpered to his partner.
"Last one, promise" Chance said as he pushed his love down again, but held him there longer than before. Jake moved around underwater freezing and swallowing the icy liquid before being brought up to air. Jake released his grasp on Chance's arms and put them behind his neck and held on tightly. His face was hidden in Chance's shoulder and he cried, Chance embraced his love and pulled the plug from the bottom of the tub to drain the water. He patted Jake on the back, making a moist sloshing sound on his fur in the process. Jake continued to cry; Chance grabbed his shoulders and faced his love. The tub was empty and he laid Jake down on the marble structure of the inside. "I'm going to grab you a few towels quickly buddy, I'll be right..." Chance felt Jakes hand on his own grabbing fiercely.
"Please don't go" Jake panted and shivered.
"I'll be back before you know it" With that Chance quickly went to his room to grab some towels that were in his closet, luckily Jake didn't throw these around before. He turned back to the bathroom and wrapped Jake's torso in a few towels then rubbed him so he would dry off. His pants were soaked so he removed them carefully and slowly, covering up Jake's private area with some more towels and threw the pants aside. Chance lifted his lover into his arms and moved to his room. He stood Jake up on his feet so he could finish drying him off the best he could. Jake just stared into his own world, dazed and confused after the cold bath treatment. He held onto the towel covering his torso while Chance dried his legs, the chocolate fur went in all sorts of directions, Chance took the towels leaving Jake standing naked, Chance grabbed one of his long sleeve shirts and put it on Jake's body, it sagged a lot past his arms and went down past his knees. Chance looked at his love, he was so exhausted staring at the ground bobbing his head up and down. Chance picked up his love and placed him on the bed; he located the sheets and the large blanket on the ground and placed that on Jake who was glancing at Chance's movements around the room. Chance turned the lights off and left the door open as we went downstairs, Jake didn't say anything and just closed his eyes. Chance was in the kitchen panting and huffing under his breath, tears formed in his eyes and lead down his face. He had his hands on top of his head as he tried to muffle his own sobs as he sniffed and cried pacing the kitchen. He finally sat down on chair at the table, elbows on his knees, and both hands in his face as he cried silently. Something happened to Jake and he didn't know how to help from here. Chance was so worried and scared for his love; he felt the sting on his face from the scratch he got from Jake's claws. Chance got up and went to the phone and dialed a number, he wiped his nose with his arm and panted a bit as the phone rang.
"Hello?" The female voice said on the other end.
"Momma...I need you help" Chance cried softly after he spoke.
~ A couple of Hours Later ~
Rita was led inside the house by Chance, she gave her red eyed son a hug and they both went upstairs into his room. Rita was a nurse for all of her life before retiring; she was the best at MegaKat Memorial Hospital and could have been a doctor is she wanted to. But she stuck with assisting in the big projects and running her staff they way she pleased. For years she's received metals and plaques for her excellence in the field of medicine and 40 years before retiring she work helping mothers give birth to their babies. Chance had called her hysteric and it took him forever to explain the situation calmly to his mother, something was wrong with Jake's temperature and he was acting kind of hysteric himself. Rita entered the room and turned on the light to see Jake sleeping in one of Chance's shirts underneath a pile of blankets and sheets. She walked over to the bed to do a sight examination, there were circles under his eyes, and his tongue was dry by the way Jakes mouth was open letting air get through. His nose seemed to be clogged as well when he tried to breath through it, it mad a funny sound. Rita put her medical kit down and took gloves out from it and placed them on her hands. She also took out a small pen flashlight, when her hand got near Jake's eyes he slowly opened them to see Chance behind his mother. Jake has met her before, once on her birthday and another a Thanksgiving dinner; she can cook a mean turkey. He just looked at the two dazed and didn't know what to say.
"Jake sweetie, its Rita. I'm going to be checking your vitals and reflex skills baby" Rita said as she shinned the light into Jake's eye which squinted a bit, the pupils were returning to normal size rather slowly but still looked large. When she asked him to follow the light he was able to at first, but then closed his eyes and panted some more. Rita then took his pulse and blood pressure; both were lower than it should be. There was nothing wrong with the inside of his mouth, a small nick, perhaps if he bit the side of his cheek recently, but other than that just some dehydration she presumed. She looked at one of Jake's wrists to see a small red bump on a major vein, it seemed like a small bug bite so she applied some alcohol, disinfectant and ointment on the sore then wrapped it in a bandage. Chance had left the room when his mother had begun her examination and went to the couch in the TV room. He was sitting like before in the kitchen waiting to hear from his mother and slowly falling asleep, it was early in the morning when his mother had arrived and Chance continued to give Jake some liquids as ordered over the phone. Chance heard footsteps coming downstairs, his hands moved away from his face and he looked to his right to see his mother removing her gloves. Chance's ears were low and he looked like he was about to cry again, his mother hugged her baby's head and patted him gently as he sobbed. "You did the right thing baby" Rita said as she felt Chance move his head nuzzling her embrace, tears flowed down his tired eyes and onto her blouse. She sat down and started to treat his scratched face when Chance spoke up.
"I Just don't know what happened" Chance spat out as he looked down at his mother, wincing at the pain of the alcohol she applied. She took out a napkin and dried his eyes, then held it to his nose so he can blow it
"Chance Furlong, I have never seen such compassion and quick thinking in my life, and I never thought it would be from one of my kin. Whatever was in his system is slowly getting out, he'll be tired and exhausted for a while that's for sure. But thanks to your quick thinking he's cooled down and healing up. There's some dehydration so give him plenty of liquids and make sure he eats his food, he'll be lightheaded and confused a bit but that's natural." She got up and grabbed her bag. "You get some rest as well Chance, your not looking too well yourself." Rita said as she headed to the door. Chance followed her to the door and gave his mother a hug before she left, she gave Chance a kiss on the cheek and went to her car and left the junkyard. Chance turned off the light in the kitchen and TV room before heading upstairs to his room, it was dark and he cold see Jake's form on his bed resting and breathing fine. Chance left the hallway light on as he entered Jake's room and turned the light off, he took off his shirt exposing his muscled and plopped down on Jake's bed onto his back. He reached into his pocket and took out a small black box, he opened it to revile a golden band with 10 small diamonds circled around a large cut diamond, he marveled at the work put into the engagement ring for Jake. He closed the box and put it back in his pants before drifting off to sleep, but it didn't come as easy to Chance as he would have wanted to when the Alarm went off.
"At this hour???" Chance sighed as he slowly got up and jogged downstairs to answer the call. "Yes Ms. Briggs, what can I do for you?
"T-Bone, Mad Kat has launched an assault on the Megakat Biochemical Lab downtown"
"I'm On My Way!" T- Bone yelled as he quickly hung up the phone and went to the subbasement to change. He hoped into the TurboKat and expected Razor to be right behind him, but he just felt a cool breeze from the cockpit closing. "Looks like I'm doing this one solo" Chance said as the elevator brought the TurboKat above ground, he started up the engines and started to move forward before exiting the tunnel and flying off into the air.
~ Hours Later ~, around 7am
The Turbokat sat in the subbasement damaged and in need of repair. The mission was a hard one and Chance thought he wasn't going to make it, but eventually he was able to defeat Dar Kats army of creeplings and stop Dark Kats plan to steal a secret solvent from the Biochemical Lab. It was now being transported out of MegaKat City for safe keeping. Chance made it to his room and drifted to sleep the instant he landed on the soft comfortable mattress he was so accustomed with over the years. He had gotten about an hours worth of sleep after he returned from the mission, but it didn't last long when Feral came a knocking at the front door, Chance tried to ignore the Panthers yelling, but eventually he knew he had to open up the shop for the day. Chance sat up and brushed his eyes off trying to adjust to the light of the day, he was in his boxers and wife beater shirt as he slowly made his way to the front door to greet his former superior. Chance opened the door to meet the gaze of and angry suited Enforcer. The tall, Black Panther was not in the mood to hear anything after their loss today.
"Well, I haven't got all day. Our cars need repairing after taking that bashing from Dark Kat, so get to work." He huffed and puffed, Chance could have swore their house was about to collapse. He nodded and went back inside to put his jumpsuit on and opened up the garage, he had a bakers dozen amount of cars in the junkyard that needed repairing. Chance sighed heavily as he brought the first two in and got to work, he was able to get the dings and dents out of some of the patrol cars but others were too damaged to be repaired to their normal state, others just needed either a new roof or engine. Chance looked at the clock inside the garage; it was about 5pm...he had been working for a long time without a break and now it was about time for the garage to close. Chance put the finishing pieces inside his last car for the day and closed the hood of the car. He would have to continue his work tomorrow; the golden furred tabby closed the doors of the garage and the front door of the house. He went into the kitchen to make some dinner for Jake and himself, some nice stew perhaps. He places some toast and fruit on a bed pan along with a glass of milk; once the stew was ready Chance poured a bit into the bowl and placed that on the bedpan as well. Chance was careful not to drop the bedpan as he walked up the stairs feeling like a burglar. The door to Jake's room was left open so it would give Chance easy access to Jake if he needed anything. When Chance looked into the room he could see his mate sitting up, leaning against his headboard looking outside the window at the end of the room. The suns beams of light entered through the window and shadowed onto the floor, it was beginning to decent into the earth letting night rule the skies soon. Chance walked towards the bed and put Jake's food onto the night stand. Jake turned to look at Chance, he was looking a little better today; getting a lot of rest did well for his body.
"How ya' feeling buddy?" Chance asked as he places his paw on Jake's lap.
"Fine, a bit hungry but fine" Jake whispered, he was drained of so much energy and it showed. Jake placed his own paw on top of Chance's and gave a weak smile. "You look a bit tired yourself there Chance, have you been getting enough sleep?" Jake asked as he stared at his love. Chance had dark circles under his eyes; it was easier to see since his fur was such a light color of yellow.
"Don't worry about me bud, just relax for now" Chance smiled as he got the bowl of stew and swirled it a bit, he got a small amount on the spooned and brought it to Jake's mouth, he didn't refuse and began to eat a little. Jake was able to eat the whole broth, but didn't have anything else. "Come on buddy, you have to eat everything' " Chance said in a begging voice, Jake just looked at the sheets shaking his head slowly. Chance put down the toast and sat in the bed with his love; he hugged Jake softly and purred lightly. Jake followed by purring himself.
"What, what happened to me Chance?" Jake said as he tried to lift his hand up, but it fell back to the bed, Jake looked down shutting his eyes, he was so tired and confused but more scared. Chance kissed his mate on the head and picked up Jake's paw with his own as he brought it to his lips and kissed Jake's fingers that were clawed together.
"I don't know baby, you were freaking out and going crazy. Scared the living Kats out of me, that's for sure" Chance said as he rocked Jake's body a little. Jake just leaned his head on Chance's chest and purred some more. Chance just closed his eyes and got into bed with Jake, they laid spooning. Chance held onto Jake as he drifted to sleep. He didn't care that the lights were still on in the kitchen and living room; he just wanted to be with his mate and sleep. Chance licked behind Jake's ear slowly a couple of times before falling asleep.
