#5 of Off The Field Story Series


The stadium is packed. Despite the cold temperatures, thousands braved the weather to watch the first game of the Xavier Gryphons. The opponents: The unlucky Union Raptors. Don't get me wrong, the Raptors are an okay team, but they really don't stand a chance against us. Still, despite the confidence of the rest of my team and my coach, I'm still nervous as hell. The cheering of the crowds causes adrenaline to pump through my body. I rub my paws together in apprehension.

I barely hear coach yell at us to line up. I take the front of the line with Dev right behind me. The black panther gives me a reassuring pat on the back.

"Look pretty for the cameras Milenski. It's your time to shine." He says with a grin.

"Yeah whatever." I reply with a chuckle.

"Stay focused out there everybody! This is our first step towards the championship this year, and I'm going to be surprised if we don't win this year!" Coach yells as he looks at every one of us.

I stretch my neck and bounce on the balls of my feet as the announcer welcomes the cheering crowds.

"And now for our home team, the Xavier Gryphons!" The announcer's voice booms through my head.

Show time.

I take off in a light jog and run out onto the field. The home crowd roars in excitement as we jog out onto the field and take our place on the sidelines. The noise is deafening. I've never played a football game with so many fans before.

"This year, we would like to introduce the new quarterback of the Xavier Gryphons! You've all heard about him, whether in the newspaper or on television, you've all heard his name, let's make some noise for Kale Milenski!"

I face the stadium and raise my paw up and wave to the cheering crowds. I can't help but beam widely as I wave to my fans.

"Show off." I hear Connor mutter, but I ignore the prick.

"Okay everyone, get over here." Coach says as he waves to us. "Remember everything we practiced this week. Make smart choices, and whatever you do, don't get cocky out there. Now go get them."

"Break!" We all yell, and then jog out onto the field.

I watch as Dev takes out some necklace from his jersey, touches it to his muzzle, then sets it on the bench.

"What was that?" I ask him as we walk out to the line.

"My good luck charm. I've had it ever since I've started playing football." Dev replies.

I chuckle slightly.

"You actually believe in those things?" I ask.

"We all have one." One of the offensive linemen says. "What's yours Kale?"

"Mine? I don't have one." I reply as I take my position behind the center and bend down.

That's a total lie though. I do have a good luck charm, and he is up in the stands, fifth row smack in the middle. Before I call the play, I give one last look up to the white fox. He's sitting there in jeans and a Xavier hoodie with my number on it. His friends chat next to him, but I can see his blue eyes and sly smile pointing in my direction. His eyes meet mine and he gives me a grin and nods slightly.

That's all the luck I need.

I barely hear myself as I yell out the play. All I'm aware of is right when I feel the rough texture of the football of my paws, I immediately strafe to the right. Everything is a blur as I watch for the running back. He's open and I throw the ball. Perfect throw, perfect catch. The cheetah catches it and gains about forty yards before he's brought down. The crowd goes wild. "First down for the Gryphons!" The announcer's voice echoes across the stadium.

"Nice run Simmons!" I congratulate the cheetah as I give him a slap on his helmet.

"Thanks Kale. It was you who made the pass though. Keep it up. "Simmons replies with a smile.

I call the team to huddle up, call the play, and then line up again. The Raptors have an okay defense but they really strive in their offense. They have a quick fox as their receiver, but he's the new guy.

The first quarter goes by quick and soon the scoreboard reads Gryphons: 15 Raptors: 7. I wipe the sweat from my face and gulp down some water as I get ready to go out on defense. The new defensive linemen have fucked up a few times, so coach benched them. I don't mind playing defense at all though.

"Okay Kale, you need to keep an eye on that fox over there. He's the reason why they have even scored against us. Make sure he does not get past you." Coach says to me as he gives me a firm slap on my rear.

I run out to the field and take my place on the line across from the fox.

"Your luck runs out today, my friend." The fox says smugly as he bounces on his feet.

I just smile back and watch the fox. Right when the quarterback calls the play, I already know where the fox is heading. He tries to fake left, but I immediately step forward and drive my shoulder into him. The fox stumbles back. Seeing that the play has been ruined, the quarterback panics and tries to run the ball through the middle, but Dev immediately jumps onto the tiger.

The tiger fumbles and Dev recovers it.

"Nice job!" I yell to Dev.

Dev gives me a thumbs-up as we move to offense. So far, so good. I look up at the stands and receive a smile of approval from Rhy.

The game seems to fly by as we dominate the opposing team. I make five touchdown passes and I only end up getting sacked once. The fourth quarter comes to an end and the crowd goes wild. The scoreboard flashes Gryphons: 55 Raptors: 15.

I beam widely through all of the slaps on the back and compliments as I walk back into the locker room. I'm covered in dirt and sweat and my muscles are killing me, but I can't help but smile at all of the commotion in the locker room. It seems unreal to me that I just led the Gryphons to their first win of the season.

"That was one hell of a pass you threw to me." Simmons says as he walks past me into the showers.

"Thanks man. You did all of the catching and running though." I comment as I take my pads off and strip down to just my football pants.

Dev walks by me and gives me a firm slap on my ass which causes me to yelp.

"Listen to this guy! Pretending he didn't do anything out there!" Dev laughs as he points to me.

I grin and push the panther away.

"Hey Kale, we're all getting together for a party tonight at the Kinetic. You going?" Dev asks.

Hmmmm. I was planning to have some fun with Rhy, but I wonder if he'd like to come too.

"Would it be cool if Rhy comes?" I ask as I strip out of my football pants.

"Yeah of course! I'll see you guys in about an hour then?"

"Yep! See you there!" I say as I throw my football gear into my duffel bag.

Dev leaves with the rest of the team from the locker room. I bid them farewell and soon the locker room is empty. I stand up and stretch, my muscles screaming in protest. Fuck, I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I hook my thumbs underneath the waistband of my jockstrap and begin to pull it down.

"Well don't you look hot right now."

I jerk my head up to see Rhy leaning against the lockers, a sly grin spread across his white muzzle.

I smile and walk over to the fox.

"You have a thing for jockstraps?" I ask him.

Rhy shrugs.

"Not really, but you look absolutely sexy in one. Have I ever told you that I love it when you bend down behind the center in those tight football pants of yours?"

I chuckle slightly.

"Yeah, more than once actually."

"Well I like to get my point across." Rhy smiles as he traces a finger up my abs.

"Sorry, but I haven't taken a shower yet." I say as I shiver underneath his touch.

"That's okay stud. I like you sweaty and hot anyways."

I know exactly where this is headed and I know that I can't say no to him. Rhy leans in for a kiss but I quickly put my paw to his muzzle. Confused, Rhy opens his eyes.

"Hang on a second." I whisper.

I quickly dart over to the locker room door and peek out. No one is in sight. I close the door and slide the lock home. I grin as I hear the door lock with a click.

"Now then, where were we?" I ask slyly.

Rhy leans in for the kiss again and this time I meet his muzzle without any hesitation. I force my way into his muzzle and savor the taste. I press up against the fox and push him back into the lockers. I fumble over the fox's belt and quickly slide his pants to the ground. We break the kiss so I can slip his shirt off too.

"Let me get this for you." Rhy whispers as he kneels down in front of my jockstrap.

I'm fully erect and the protective cup can barely hold my raging cock now. With all the expertise of a heart surgeon, Rhy slips his fingers underneath the waistband of the jockstrap and slowly pulls it down to my ankles. My member jerks free from its prison. Rhy places his paws on my hips and swings me around so that I'm now the one leaning against the lockers. I shiver as he licks the tip of my member, and then takes me into his muzzle. I moan and try to keep still. Shit, I love it when he starts out fast then slows down. His tongue swirls around the head of my cock which causes intense waves of pleasure to travel up my body. I'm starting to leak pre like a fucking faucet now. Rhy eagerly licks it up.

I know that I'm not going to last any longer, so I push Rhy away. Lust has fully taken over all of my senses now and all I want to do now is to get inside that tight hot space. I grab Rhy by the shoulders and roughly swing him around and press him against the lockers. Rhy mock whimpers and raises his tail for me.

"Have I ever told you that one of my fantasies was to get fucked in a locker room by a football player?" Rhy pants as he looks over his shoulder.

"Well it's about to come true." I growl as I grab his hips and start to tease his tailhole with the tip of my cock.

Rhy moans as I barely insert the tip of my member into his tailhole. I can tell that he's really tight. Not wanting to hurt the fox, I slowly start to push my member into his tailhole. Rhy shivers and moans loudly as his tailhole starts to stretch around my engorged member. I grip Rhy's hips tighter and start pushing into him a little more. I finally make it all the way in, and I slowly start to pull out. Rhy presses his paws up against the lockers for support. Feeling that he's stretched enough, I begin to slowly thrust back and forth into him. Rhy moans with every thrust. I'm sweating like crazy again but the soreness of my muscles seems to have left me. I begin to pick up speed. Soon, my balls are slapping against Rhy's ass as I pump my member into him. Rhy is moaning loudly now as he practically pushes against the lockers to keep himself steady. I bring my paw around to Rhy and wrap it around his erect member. The fox is in complete ecstasy now as I continue to pound his ass and jack him off. I start to feel Rhy's muscles contract and I know that he's close.

"Oh-oh shit Kale, I'm about to cum!" Rhy pants.

I increase my speed and soon my paw is a blur as I jack Rhy off. Within a few seconds, Rhy moans loudly as he jerks suddenly in my grip. His member twitches as rope after rope of fox cum spurts out and splashes against the lockers. I feel my paw become slick and wet as the cum coats my paw. Rhy's orgasm sends me over the edge a few seconds later. I start to feel my balls pull close to my body and the pressure begins to build up.

"Oh fuck Rhy! I can't hold it any longer!" I growl as I thrust faster into him.

"Please cum in me Kale. I want your cum inside me." Rhy pants.

I squeeze my eyes shut as my orgasm takes over. With one final thrust, I moan loudly as my cock shoots thick ropes of cum inside Rhy. Rhy moans as I paint his insides with the warm sticky liquid. I spurt four shots of cum inside of him, and then pull out and shoot the last two shots of cum onto his ass.

Panting, I collapse onto one of the benches and admire the mess I made on Rhy. My cum is slowly leaking out of his stretched tailhole and dripping on the floor.

"Th-that was absolutely amazing." Rhy pants as he looks at me.

I smile and stand up again. I grip his ass and spread it apart, causing more of my cum to stream out of his tailhole.

"We'd better take a quick shower and clean up." I say quietly as I take Rhy's paw.

I lead the fox to the showers and turn the water on. We end up washing each other and find that soapy paws against bodies feel very good, and we end up getting hot and bothered again.

Shit, we're such a horny couple.

I end up pounding his ass again, this time doggystyle in the shower. We quickly clean up again, kick the cum down the drain, and mop up the cum on the floor and against the lockers.

"How many guys do you think have done what we just did in here?" Rhy asks as we leave the locker room.

"I dunno. Probably a few I'm guessing." I reply.

Rhy chuckles and grips my paw. Here, where no one else is around to see us, is where I feel safe. Still, I flick my eyes back and forth to make sure no one is watching us.

"I really enjoyed the game Kale. You did a great job." Rhy whispers.

I pull him in close and nuzzle him.

"Thanks. Hey, Dev invited me and you to a party tonight. It's down at the Kinetic Bar. You wanna go with me?" I ask.

"Sure, as long as there's booze." Rhy replies with a sly smile.

I chuckle in reply.

"Don't worry about that. There will be."

We arrive at the Kinetic Bar a little past one in the morning. The bar is filled with the wild noise from my teammates and their friends. I wrinkle my nose at all of the musky smells. The place reeks of sweat and booze.

"Kale! Rhy! Over here!"

I turn to see Dev at the bar, waving us over. He saved us two seats.

"Come on." I say to Rhy as we walk over to the panther.

"Glad you could make it! Hey Pete, grab these two some beers!" Dev says as he motions towards me and Rhy.

The bartender turns to get our drinks.

"Hey Kale, I have a treat for you." Dev says with a grin.

"Oh really?" I ask as the bartender sets a beer in front of me and Rhy.

"Yeah man. Take a quick look to your left, right near the pool table."

I shift my eyes towards the pool table as I bring the bottle to my muzzle and take a few gulps. A bright red vixen and a gray and white bitch with a nice rack casually sip their drinks, but their eyes are pointed in my direction. I turn back to face Dev.

"They've been waiting for you all night man. Time to make your move." Dev grins.

I feel my stomach churn as I take another drink.

"I dunno Dev..."

"Dude come on! They're not going to shoot you down! They've been waiting here for about two hours now!"

"They...just don't seem like my type." I reply lamely.

"Well you need to talk to them first. Stay here, I'll bring them over here."

Before I can protest, Dev leaps off of his barstool and strides over to the two females. I drum my fingers against my drink nervously.

Fuck, what am I going to do now?

"Here he is ladies, the one and only Kale Milenski." Dev says as he slaps me on the back.

"Kale Milenski? What a lovely name for a handsome wolf." The vixen says as she leans against the bar.

I wrinkle my nose at the smell of her perfume. I glance over at Rhy who is casually sipping his beer. I see the twinkle of amusement in his eyes though.

"So Kale, you did amazing out there on the field tonight." The wolf says as she leans next to me on the other side.

"Uh, thanks." I reply as I motion the bartender for another drink.

The wolf stares at me as if she's waiting for a reply, but I really don't give a shit. That vixen's perfume is giving me a fucking headache.

"So you're the quarterback?" The fox asks as she bats her eyelashes at me.

"Obviously." I hear Rhy mutter quietly, and I try hard not to laugh.

"Yes I am." I reply without looking up from my drink.

"That's so cool. I love football players." The wolf says as she leans in closer to me. "I find them so sexy."

I'm feeling claustrophobic now and that perfume is really getting on my nerves. I glance over at Rhy and I can see his paw drumming against the table in slight irritation.

"Well ladies, it was nice talking to you, but I'm afraid I have to get going now." I say as I gulp down the rest of my beer and stand up.

Rhy perks his ears up as I stand up to leave.

"But we barely even talked." The vixen protests as she looks at me with slight irritation.

That's it. I'm done with this shit.

"Yeah well, if you haven't noticed, there's plenty of other football players for you two to hit on, so how about you let me go because I'm obviously not interested."

"Asshole." The wolf mutters as she stands up and stomps away. The vixen glares at me and follows her friend.

"What the hell happened man?" Dev whispers to me as he watches the two females leave.

"They were total whores dude. All they wanted was for me to take them in the bathroom and get a good fuck." I reply as I sit back down and order my third drink.

Dev crosses his arms and gives me a weird look.

"Isn't that the point of meeting girls at college dude? You fuck them, and then you decide if you want to keep them or not."

"Yeah, maybe in your books." I mutter as I take a sip from my beer.

"Okay, well how about I try finding you a nice bitch again dude, someone who's not a slut or anything." Dev suggests.

"It's fine dude. You really don't need to."

"Okay, well how about Rhy then?"

I glance over at Rhy, who to my surprise is currently on his fifth beer.

"Nah, he's taken." I quickly reply. "But thanks anyways."

"Hey, no problem man. I'll let you know if I find a good match for you though."

I really wish he would just drop this. I wish I could tell him that I'm not interested in girls, that I have Rhy, but I can't yet. I stare at the panther. How much I wish I could muster up the courage to tell him about me and Rhy. But how would he react? What if he freaks out and tells the entire team? I really can't afford to lose my place on the team. More importantly, I don't want to lose my friendship with Dev. But I have to tell him sometime. He's probably going to wonder why I'm not interested in any of the girls he tries to hook me up with. Once he asks me about that, then I'll definitely tell him. We end up talking some more and I start to feel a pleasant buzz as I down my eighth beer. Rhy has had ten and he's obviously hammered.

"S-so how m-many have I had so f-far?" Rhy asks as he practically spills the remaining beer in his bottle.

"You've had ten dude. I think you should slow down." I chuckle slightly.

"Really? Ten? I thought I only drank two." Rhy says as he looks down at his bottle.

He looks up at Dev and smiles slyly.

"Wow, y-you are sooooo hot, have I t-told you that?" Rhy says as he sways a little.

My mouth drops open.

"Okay! Time to go!" I say as I get up and grab Rhy by the paw.

Dev laughs as Rhy practically collapses off of the stool.

"Make sure he doesn't pass out!" Dev yells at me as I practically drag the fox out of the bar.

I wave goodbye to Dev and the other guys, and soon I'm walking- well dragging Rhy down the street.

"So n-now where are w-we going?" Rhy asks as he stumbles next to me.

I'm starting to feel a little drunk now, and the ground seems to be spinning.

"Back to the dorms." I reply as the dorm building comes into view.

It takes all of my effort to climb the stairs with Rhy to our floor. I barely recall fumbling with our door and practically stumbling into the room. I end up collapsing onto my bed as soon as the door closes behind me. Rhy does the same and snuggles up against me. I glance at the clock. It's currently four in the morning. I have class tomorrow at nine.

Groaning, I take my shirt and shorts off and cover myself with the bed sheet. Rhy is already sound asleep. I smile as I rub the fur on his head. I really didn't think he was much of a drinker, but he obviously proved me wrong tonight. I think about the remark that Rhy made to Dev back at the bar, and apprehension starts to cloud my mind. What if Dev really thought Rhy was serious? Nah, he knew that Rhy was drunk. But still, I'm gonna have to be a lot more careful when Rhy starts drinking.

For several minutes, sleep refuses to come to me. I end up staring at the ceiling, my head buzzing lightly and the sound of Rhy's breathing floats to my ears. I look at the sleeping fox and wrap my arm around his body.

Right now, I feel happier than I think I've ever been. It could be the alcohol, but I doubt that. Just watching Rhy sleep sends a surge of warmth up through my body. I don't want to be anywhere but here right now. It seems strange how all of this is unfolding before me. I came here as a cocky football player, who wanted a nice female to fuck. Who would've thought that I'd fall for another guy though?

What happens when a male wolf falls in love with a male fox? Would he want the relationship to stay in secret? Or does he want to be open about his love? The thought floats around in my head as I stare at the sleeping fox. Right now, I feel like my heart could burst. I want to wake Rhy up, hold him close to me, and tell him how much I love him. I know that these thoughts aren't coming from the alcohol. These thoughts are coming straight from my heart. A true boyfriend would tell everyone about his love for someone, not hide it from the world and try to live in secrecy. If I'm ashamed to admit my love to Rhy, then I really am being a horrible boyfriend. My heart aches at the thought of it, but I know that I can't tell anyone, at least not yet. Football, friends, family; all of those things will be affected if I come out right now. Rhy said that he'd give me more time, but how long is he willing to give me? I know that sooner or later, he's going to want someone to know. I can't keep hiding from the world. Like Rhy said, I need to not worry about what others will think. I am who I am.

My stomach is churning with apprehension. I'm not so sure why, but it seems like whenever I think about this issue, I always get nervous. But when I look over at Rhy, all of that worry seems to flicker out. I watch the fox's chest as it rises steadily. Destiny is such a funny thing now. I mean, I never ever pictured myself falling in love with another guy. It's just one of those things that every guy says. Who knew that it could actually happen this easily? The last few months have been a complete blur to me. Before I know it, I'll be done with my first year of college. Who knows what the future holds for me? All I can say is that it's looking bright and absolutely beautiful.

I yawn tiredly and roll over onto my side to face the fox. I drift off to sleep with his body pressed against mine.
