Time to Destination
Another one of my Shorts for Summer. This one is very obviously an exercise in style.

3:17pm. The high-speed train from Rakkogasaki to Shin-Kamiyo allows passengers to board. Twenty-three passengers get on Car 7. Eight of these passengers climb up to the upper level; the rest stay below. One of the fifteen who stays on the lower level is Kenji Aohara, a twenty-nine-year-old red fox on a business trip to the Frontier Dynamics Incorporated office in Shin-Kamiyo.
3:19pm. Kenji gets settled in his seat and takes out his portable computer. He links up with the train's wireless network and then leans back to stare out the window once he's done. The train platform is still bustling. A young snow leopard nearly trips over an old badger woman who has stopped short in front of a newsstand.
3:22pm. Kenji spots a male jackal sitting a few rows further down Car 7. He looks to be in his early to mid-twenties, with simple, casual clothing that reveals little about his background or occupation. He is also, Kenji notes to himself, fairly attractive.
3:23pm. A chime from Kenji's computer alerts him to an incoming email. The fox notes the sender and the subject line and decides to ignore it. The train's automated messaging system informs passengers that this is the three-thirty train to Shin-Kamiyo. Outside the window, the old badger woman appears to be harrying the vixen behind the news stand.
3:27pm. The doors to the train close. Kenji looks up to see them sliding shut, and in so doing, makes eye contact with the jackal sitting a few rows down. The jackal smiles perfunctorily. One of the passengers on the upper level has a brief coughing fit.
3:30pm. The train departs.
3:33pm. The jackal has put on a pair of in-ear headphones. His eyes are still open, but not focused on anything in particular. Often, Kenji notices, the jackal takes to gazing out the window.
3:41pm. By this point, Kenji has only skimmed a couple of emails from the office. None of them are terribly important, and none directly relate to his trip to Shin-Kamiyo. He starts to draft up a token response to one of them, but doesn't finish.
3:47pm. Kenji realizes that he has been staring a fair bit at the jackal. He also realizes that this is part of what's keeping him distracted from work. Work isn't urgent, though, so he indulges himself. The fox tries imagining what the jackal looks like naked.
3:49pm. The pressing stiffness between Kenji's legs convinces him to not worry about work email for the rest of the trip.
4:02pm. The train passes through the Megumi Sasaki Memorial Tunnel. Lights inside Car 7 come on automatically for the forty-two seconds that the train is within the darkness of the tunnel.
4:11pm. While no longer staring intently at the jackal like he'd done towards the beginning of the trip, Kenji does occasionally look up at him. He finally manages to make eye contact again. This time, the fox tries to flash a flirty wink in the jackal's direction. There isn't any real indication that the jackal notices.
4:17pm. A female wolf comes into Car 7 wheeling a snack cart. The first few passengers ignore her; the jackal is the first one to stop her. He gets a can of beer and some type of food item in a plastic package. He doesn't open it, and Kenji can't hear what he's saying, so the fox doesn't know what it is. A bear couple stops the wolf next, also ordering food and drinks. The cart then makes it through into Car 8.
4:24pm. Kenji presses the button to call the cart attendant back. She comes in, without the cart, and asks him what he'd like. He asks for a glass of ice water for himself and a can of beer for the jackal sitting a few rows down. The fox pays for it by using the data chip implanted into the tip of his right index finger.
4:26pm. The wolf attendant comes back, setting down Kenji's water before heading over to give the jackal his beer. The jackal looks up with an expression of confusion, and the wolf points toward the fox. The jackal gives a nod of acknowledgment, and Kenji holds up his glass of water.
4:41pm. The skyscrapers of Yamanojiku come into view. Several of the passengers from the right side of the train move to the left side in order to stare out the windows.
4:43pm. The jackal gets out of his seat and begins to walk toward Car 8. He taps Kenji on the shoulder on the way past him. Kenji turns and looks, but the jackal gives no further signal. The fox gets up and follows anyway.
4:44pm. Over in Car 9, the jackal slips into the restroom. Kenji waits a few moments to make sure that no one is staring, and follows after him. Once inside, the jackal presses the fox against the wall and kisses him deep on the muzzle. The taste of beer pervades Kenji's mouth as he hungrily kisses back, tongue exploring the inside of the jackal's muzzle. A low growl of approval rises from the jackal's throat.
4:45pm. The paws that had been roaming down Kenji's chest and sides finally reach the front of his slacks. The fox lets out a soft moan as the jackal massages the hardness that has returned in full force from earlier. Teasing fingertips and blunt claws play on the outside of the fabric, and occasionally, the sound of the jackal's tail hitting the opposite wall can be heard.
4:46pm. The jackal gets Kenji's slacks open, then fumbles with the fox's underwear until he's managed to get those open as well. Kenji lets out a louder moan than before, and he braces his shoulders against the restroom wall, his feet shifting further apart in order to give the jackal more room to work. The two of them start to kiss again while the jackal strokes the fox, and soon the room is filled with the overpowering scent of arousal.
4:47pm. At last, Kenji musters up the wherewithal to return the favor, and gets the jackal's pants open. He's thick and smooth, with a marked curve up towards the belly. His weight shifts up onto his toes as the fox takes hold of his shaft, and then he moves in a series of almost-thrusts that are tempered by the attention he clearly spares to stroke Kenji back in turn. The train itself vibrates with the telltale shaking of another high-speed train zipping past in the other direction.
4:48pm. The jackal pushes his own pants the rest of the way down, along with his boxers, then turns around. The restroom is cramped, but he has just enough room to brace his paws on the edge of the sink as he leans forward and hikes his tail for Kenji. Kenji slips in cozily behind him, paws holding the jackal's hips as he gets himself into position beneath that offered tail. As the jackal shifts himself further forward, his ears and forehead bump against the wall above the sink. A few steadying breaths later, Kenji reaches down, takes hold of the base of his cock, and starts to push in. The jackal grits his teeth to keep from moaning too loudly.
4:49pm. Using his natural vulpine leakiness to his advantage, Kenji adopts a slow, careful pace in thrusting into the jackal. He makes sure not to push too hard, lest the jackal bump more loudly against the wall of the restroom; though there isn't a passenger compartment on the other side, any passersby might easily hear. Also, without artificial lube, Kenji's range of smooth motion is somewhat limited anyway. If the jackal minds, though, he doesn't say anything.
4:50pm. The jackal grips the edge of the sink harder, then pulls himself up and forward. He's still close enough that Kenji can stay inside him, though it does involve the fox also lifting up onto tiptoe. While leaning forward like that, he's able to see past the jackal's body, and notices that the jackal is jerking off directly into the sink itself, his body tightening around Kenji's shaft with each firm pulse that sends a spurt of white against polished metal.
4:51pm. Kenji grabs hold of the jackal's scruff with his teeth, muffling his own grunts and moans of pleasure as he empties into the jackal's backside. The fox is careful to keep his knot outside, which makes the sensation of orgasm slightly unusual, but still quite pleasant. The grip of his jaws lessens by the moment as the rush of climax soon fades into the haze of afterglow.
4:52pm. Again using the edge of the sink for leverage, the jackal pulls himself off of Kenji's shaft. He slips past the fox's body, and then bends down to grab his pants and yank them back up. He washes his paws in the sink, also washing out the seed that's collected in the basin. He dries his fingers with some paper towels, then slips out of the bathroom, careful not to let the door stay open long enough for anyone to see inside.
4:54pm. Hanging back to avoid suspicion, Kenji rests against the wall of the restroom. The scents of fox and jackal and sex still tingle his nose. Feeling that enough time has passed, he bends down, uses some toilet paper to wipe up some drizzle and semen that's spattered onto the floor, and then flushes it down the toilet before washing his own paws.
4:55pm. Kenji takes his seat in Car 7 again. The jackal has put his headphones back in, and his eyes are closed, head leaned back. A can of beer sits on his table, but Kenji can't tell if it's a new one, or the one the fox ordered for him earlier.
5:01pm. One of the passengers on the upper level has a brief coughing fit. Kenji assumes it's the same one he heard before.
5:11pm. Another chime sounds from Kenji's computer, marking the arrival of another work email. The fox ignores it.
5:24pm. The train pulls into Shin-Kamiyo Station on schedule.
5:25pm. The doors to Car 7 open. The jackal opens his eyes, takes out his headphones, and gets up from his seat. He turns and walks out onto the platform, tail wagging in a way that suggests he's in a fairly good mood. Kenji packs up his laptop and then gets off the train, in search of a taxi stand so that he can get a ride to the Frontier Dynamics Incorporated office.
