Magic Words by danath

The babble of voices rose and ebbed in time with the action on the screen. James, Dante, Thresha, and Shelly sat around the television, each holding a controller, while their on-screen characters swerved around corners, fired off shells and bananas, and raced as quickly as they could to the finish line.

The light-blue phukbunny, Dante, growled and threw down his controller after crashing into yet another banana peel. The rabbit's long ears folded in against his shoulders and back, reaching nearly to his hips. His narrow belly and chest were covered by a tight black t-shirt with a giant paw print screened on in silver. A pair of khaki shorts wrapped around his hips.

Next to him on the floor was James the dragon. A few inches taller than James at six-foot-four, he was entirely hairless except for the dark blue length on top of his head, currently styled into a jagged faux-hawk. His long, pointed tail curled around his hips and the tip tapped against his calf as he worked his controller. He wore a pair of comfortable blue jeans and a red t-shirt. A bony, overlapped protuberance extruded from the center of his forehead, between his light brown eyes. To either side of the ridge, a raised fin arched backwards, about four inches long each and as wide as his finger.

Shelly sat on the couch, legs akimbo, tongue pressed between hir lips as she concentrated on the game. Hir elbows pushed out, occasionally poking into Thresha, who sat next to hir. Shelly let out a shout of dismay as shi hit a banana peel as well. The tall phukbunny had long ears, like Dante, that reached far down hir backside. Bright pink hair swept across hir forehead and down hir neck. Hir pelt was a light purple shade. A V-neck t-shirt hugged her large chest. Shi wore a pair of khaki shorts like Dante, and, also like the blue bunny, hir feet were bare.

Thresha felt the purple phukbunny jostle her and playfully snapped her teeth at the rabbit's elbow as she cruised across the finish line, almost ten seconds ahead of James. She blue shark was tall and svelte, with large eyes and blue fin running down the center of her head, over the back of her skull, ending at the top of her neck. She grinned and tossed her controller onto the cushion next to her. The Tiger/Thresher shark hybrid was dressed up compared to the other three in a tight green halter top. The spaghetti straps wrapped around her shoulders, while the front managed to just hold in her large breasts. A matching green miniskirt with red and white splotches of color wrapped around her hips and thighs, hanging almost to her knees.

Thresha had geometrically precise markings running down her body, from her head to her toes. The tiger-like stripes were smooth, not jagged, and ended in small points. The undersides of her arms, legs, and neck had lighter, whiter skin, which extended up around the lower half of her broad snout. The stripes were a darker blue than the rest of her skin and a few of the points overlapped onto the white of her underarms. Her wide hips scooted back and forth on the couch as she threw up her arms in celebration.

"Yeah! Suck it!" she shouted.

Dante and James groaned and collapsed next to each other on the floor.

"I can't believe we just got beat by Thresha," the dragon said, pressing his palm to the top of his muzzle. "We'll never hear the end of this."

"I can't believe I came in last!" the rabbit replied. "My perfect streak... demolished!"

Shelly used hir controller to navigate back to the character selection screen.

"How about one more game?" shi asked. "If Thresha can win, so can I!"

Thresha pulled her phone out of a small pocket on the hip of her skirt and checked the time. She shook her head.

"Sorry, guys... it's almost time for my date!"

Dante and James looked at each other before sitting up and making a face at the shark.

"Ooooh, looks like someone's trying to get lucky tonight!"

"Make sure you call us if you'll be out past curfew!"

Thresha rolled her eyes as she stood up and stretched.

"Yeah, whatever, guys. Thanks for the fun! I'll see you all later. Bye, Shelly!"

The purple phukbunny nodded, but didn't lift hir eyes from the screen.

"Yeah... bye..."

Thresha frowned slightly, but didn't say anything else. She waved as she left the living room of Dante and James's apartment. After she left and the door had clicked shut, Shelly slumped back into the couch cushion and sighed.

The dragon and blue rabbit grabbed their controllers.

"Start it up, sis!" Dante said.

"You know what... I think I'm going to head home, actually," Shelly said. "I dunno... just don't feel like playing right now."

"Uh... sure. Well, we'll probably be playing all night, so if you want to come back over-" Dante said.

"Bring pizza with you!" James finished, laughing.

Shelly grinned. "All right. Later, guys."

After Shelly left, Dante and James resumed the game, adding in some computer opponents to make it more difficult. The blue rabbit glanced at the dragon.

"Shelly must have it bad for Thresha, huh?"

James nodded. "Yeah... wonder if shi'll ever say anything to her."

The restaurant was nice. Thresha felt a little under-dressed in her more casual, flirty outfit, but nobody paid any more attention to her than normal as she asked about her date at the front. A waiter led her to the back, where a wolf with shiny black fur sat at a corner table. He stood up when she approached. He was handsome, especially in his nice tan blazer and navy blue slacks.

"Hi! You must be Thresha," he said, extending his paw.

Thresha smiled and shook his hand before sitting down. The wolf cast a few glances down, taken aback by the size of her chest, and the shark smiled slightly, already wondering how the male was in bed.

"So, how long have you been in finance?" she asked him, trying to remember some of the things they'd talked about through text messages. They'd met online and chatted before trading phone numbers.

Thresha wasn't hard-pressed to find dates, but she hadn't had a steady relationship in... well, ever. The shark just didn't seem to be able to maintain anything deep. Sure, she'd probably take the wolf home and rock his world later, but after that... well, Thresha wasn't sure.

She made small talk with her lupine companion until they ordered. He insisted she try the mushroom-sautéed steak, which she agreed to order. He was pleasant company, if a bit focused on himself. Apparently he was a successful junior partner at some kind of investment firm. Thresha only half-listened to him as she ate, mechanically chewing. Her thoughts were distracted as she couldn't stop thinking about the next day, and the next. Was this the person she could finally be happy with? Or was he just going to leave her once he got bored?

"So anyways, how about you? Any plans for this weekend?"

Thresha focused on the wolf's smiling face and shook her head.

"No, just staying home. Might play some video games with friends."

"Oh, cool! Which ones?"

Thresha found herself enjoying her time with the wolf - and that was the problem. She just couldn't help the panic and fear rushing around in her belly. Her last date hadn't been like this. Why couldn't she focus? Why did she keep thinking back to the disappointed expression on Shelly's face when she'd left Dante and James's apartment? Conflicting emotions made the last few bites of her steak taste sour and she set her fork and knife down.

"Don't you like the steak?"

Thresha squeezed her thigh to keep her hand from trembling. What was this sudden pressure she felt? She'd been feeling it on every date lately. Why couldn't she go out with the same person more than once? Was she really happy with how she was? What was it?

A million similar thoughts swirled around her mind as she stared at the wolf, until he looked down at his plate awkwardly.

"Look... I know this is our first date," he said, reaching out to grasp her free hand in his, "but I... I think I like you. A lot. I don't want to come on too strong, but all our chats, and now meeting face to face... I want to spend a little more time with you. Let's go out again tomorrow, huh?"

Thresha stared at him blankly. He'd completely misinterpreted her mood. But he was nice, she said, scolding herself. He was a good guy. A little self-involved, but who wasn't? He had a good job. He was into her - that was obvious. So what was the problem?

The shark pulled her hand free and stood, jostling the table accidentally.

"Uh... I... I'm sorry," she said, as he rose to his feet. "Look... I just... I can't."

She turned and fled the restaurant, running to the parking lot. The blue shark didn't turn to see if he'd followed her until she was in her car. He stood in the entrance of the restaurant, hands in his pockets, looking at the ground. His tail was curled up between his legs.

Damn, damn, damn. Thresha slapped the steering wheel, angry with herself. The least she could do was sleep with the guy. But that would just be leading him on. Thresha knew it wouldn't go anywhere. Why was she so incapable of forming any real connections? Besides Dante, James, and Shelly, she really couldn't think of many other people with whom she had anything more than a passing friendship. There was no pressure with them.

Thresha started her car and drove through the streets. She wasn't thinking about where she'd go, until she realized she'd driven back to Dante and James's apartment building. Thoughts of the black wolf kept nagging her. She felt guilty for running out on him, but then she would think about Shelly's downcast eyes, which made her even more confused.

As she parked her car, she thought back to her childhood. Memories returned, unbidden. She'd been relatively happy, though she remembered the day her father had left. Her mother was so busy working to support the three kids that Thresha, the youngest, had spent little time with her. She'd grown up, moved, got a job, met her friends, and was living what she thought was a happy life. So why wasn't she happy?

She leaned forward, pressing the base of the fin on top of her head against the steering wheel, and closed her eyes. She was bad at expressing her feelings, she knew that. She presented a tough exterior and rarely let anyone know when something bothered her. But that wasn't the real problem, was it? She liked not having to worry about hurting anyone, or anyone hurting her. Wasn't that okay?

After a few minutes, the shark sat up, got out of the car, and headed into the apartment building, still confused on the inside. Dante buzzed her in and as she rode the elevator up to their floor. Her phone buzzed and she glanced at it. It was the black wolf.

"sorry cant explain," she texted back. "talk later"

Her phone buzzed again.

"was it something I said? Just telling truth. UR great and I want to know you better"

Thresha didn't respond and stuffed the phone back into her pocket. She hesitated before knocking on Dante and James's door, taking a moment to breathe deeply and calm down. Her chest felt tight.

"Hey, sis!" Dante said, opening the door. The phukbunny grinned and motioned her in. "We're still playing. Date didn't go so well? I thought you liked this one. What was he, a cougar?"

"Wolf," Thresha muttered, flopping into the couch in front of the television.

She shook her head when James offered her a controller.

"Something wrong?" the dragon asked, turning around to face her.

"I don't know," she said. "I bailed on my date. Crap, I didn't even pay for my food."

"What, was he a jerk?"

The shark sighed and slumped even lower into the couch cushions.

"That's just it. He was really nice. But... I don't know, there must be something wrong with me. Every nice guy I meet I end up running away from."

James glanced at Dante. The blue bunny took a seat next to Thresha and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Well... do you want to see him again?"

"I don't know, I barely know him!" Thresha said, a hint of a growl in her voice. "Why does it matter?"

Dante pulled his arm back. "We just want to see you happy, Thresha," he said, quietly.

The shark went quiet for a few moments before saying anything. The only noise in the apartment was the orchestral game music, which James turned off.

"I'm sorry, Dante. I don't mean to snap at you," she said finally. "I just don't know what I want right now."

She looked around, realizing someone was missing.

"Where's Shelly?"

James shrugged. "Shi took off right after you left for your date," he said, getting to his feet. He walked towards the kitchen as he spoke. "Shi seemed kind of bummed out about something."

Thresha's brow furrowed. "Weird. Shi seemed fine when I was here."

Dante's lips turned slightly upwards, just the hint of a smile. He didn't say anything as the shark stared down at her feet. James returned with three cups of juice. Thresha took hers without speaking, but didn't drink any.

"Thanks, James," Dante said.

Thresha's phone buzzed again and the shark automatically reached for it, but held it in her hand face down so she couldn't read it.

"That Mr. Wolf?" James asked, taking his seat on the floor again.

"Probably."

"Gonna answer it?" Dante asked.

"I don't think so."

The blue bunny snagged the phone and scanned the message as Thresha let out an indignant gasp. Dante's eyebrows went up and he handed the phone back silently, smile returning even larger.

"I think you should read it."

The message wasn't from the black wolf, Thresha realized. It was from Shelly.

"hey, hot stuff, if your date goes bad, my bed is empty"

The phone buzzed again.

"Seriously, come over if you want, sexy stripes"

Thresha grinned. She'd spent quite a few nights with the purple phukbunny. Shelly was fun to hang out with. Maybe that was just the thing she needed - to feel close to someone right now.

The phone buzzed yet again.

"And if you come over, don't wear anything hard to take off *growl!*"

Thresha laughed and showed Dante and James that last message. The three grinned as the shark stood.

"Guess I'm not staying long. Sorry guys," she said, long tail swishing back and forth behind her legs.

"Looks like Shelly got over her mood or whatever," Dante said.

James poked him in the side and he clapped his mouth shut.

Thresha shook her head. "You two are weird. Later!"

After she'd gone, Dante and James picked up their controllers and restarted the game.

"Think Shelly will tell her?" James asked.

"I don't know. I kind of think Thresha's gonna do it first, if she ever realizes that's what she wants."

* * *

Thresha texted Shelly that she was on her way while walking to her car. The bunny texted back a simple "k". The drive was only a few minutes - traffic was light so late in the evening.

Thresha's skin flushed as she went up to Shelly's house and knocked on the door. A funny feeling grew in the pit of her stomach. It was familiar - she got it most times she came over to see the attractive rabbit.

Shelly opened the door and Thresha stared. The rabbit was naked, not a shred of clothing on her body. A thick male shaft pulsed, drooling clear pre-cum down its length. The rabbit's generous breasts jiggled as shi grinned at the shark and opened the door more widely.

"I was just getting ready for you," the purple phukbunny said, hir voice low and sultry.

Thresha's heart beat even faster as she stepped inside. The door closed behind her and the rabbit pressed into her. She could feel the heat of the bunny's shaft against her belly as fluids wet down her top. She wrapped her arms around Shelly's sides, hugging close, as their lips met for a kiss. The rabbit's fuzzy muzzle opened, matching Thresha's, and their tongues pressed together. Shelly made a noise almost like a purr as Thresha's hands reached down to squeeze at her rump, gripping the purple hips tightly.

"I'm glad you came over," Shelly gasped, breaking the kiss. Thresha's mouth dipped down, pressing between the light fuzz on Shelly's breasts. The bunny groaned as twin rows of sharp teeth nibbled at her sensitive flesh.

"Me too," the shark said, surprising herself when she realized she meant it.

They gradually moved out of the front hallway and into the living room, groping and kissing on the way. The blue shark could feel the growing heat between her legs as the bunny's thickness ground against her belly. With a growl of lust, Thresha shoved Shelly onto the couch and straddled her hips. Grasping the purple rabbit's shoulders, Thresha moaned deeply as she pushed forward, breasts to breasts, belly grinding against the phukbunny's maleness. Fuzzy paws stroked down her sides and over her hips. Sharp little claws pricked at her rump as the well-hung herm guided her down.

The purple phukbunny didn't bother removing Thresha's skirt. Shi just pushed it up, then tugged her flimsy pink panties to the side, revealing the shark's moist pussy. Shelly leaned back, legs spreading to give her overproductive balls a bit more room. The shark's thighs trembled as she felt the tip slide over her pussy lips, teasing her into another gasp of pleasure.

"Mmm... I'm really glad you're here," Shelly murmured, letting the shark take control.

Thresha rotated her hips in a circle, teasing the bunny as their lips met again. As she opened her mouth, pushing her tongue out, she slipped down over the meaty shaft. Her body tensed as the thick tip spread her open, and then she was pushing down, slowly sinking over the pink length. She groaned deeply into Shelly's muzzle as their arms moved, caressing and stroking each other. The rabbit's hands cupped Thresha's chest, lifting her large breasts and squeezing, as hir hips pushed upwards just a touch.

Thresha's pussy clenched around the length throbbing inside her as she pushed down more firmly, taking more of it. Her knees and thighs flexed as she lowered herself, gasping as the fat length spread her open. She loved this moment, just as the thickness opened her up, filling her, stroking her insides. Only Shelly was able to do it just the way she liked. She leaned back, breaking the kiss, and Shelly leaned forward into her, burying hir muzzle among the shark's oversized melons. The rabbit's teeth nipped at Thresha's sensitive nipples and the shark groaned again, jiggling and rubbing at the bases of Shelly's ears.

The rabbit stiffened suddenly and pushed firmly upwards, sinking the last few inches into the shark's stretched pussy. A moment later, Shelly felt a rippling around hir cock and shi grunted as hir climax swept over hir. Shi hadn't meant to pop so soon, but shi'd taken hir warm-up a little too far.

Thresha didn't mind. Shi shivered as an orgasm spread from hir loins, sending bolts of pleasure up hir entire body. Hir skirt, still wrapped around hir stomach, pushed up higher, just under her breasts, as the bunny's thick cream poured into her. They met for one more kiss, with Thresha tipping her face down to meet the phukbunny's fuzzy muzzle. The shark loved this moment even more. The rabbit was so warm, soft, and caring. Shi always took hir time, ensuring Thresha enjoyed it as much as shi did. The phukbunny was bred for sex, obviously, but Thresha always felt as though their time together was extra special than mere humping.

The rabbit didn't go soft. They disentangled themselves slowly, waiting a few minutes before moving. Thresha shivered and squeezed Shelly's shoulders as she pulled off the phukbunny's thickness, gasping as the fat tip popped free. With thick rabbit seed running down the insides of hir thighs, she pulled off her top and skirt, tossing them away, leaving herself as naked as the rabbit.

Shelly grasped hir shaft at the base and squeezed, working another thick stream of white seed out the fat tip.

"You look like you're pretty hungry," shi said teasingly. "How about a snack?"

Thresha grinned and dropped to her knees in front of the couch. She pressed her chest forward, surrounding the rabbit's length between her firm orbs. She used her hands to press them together, surrounding the maleness, and dipped her muzzle down to lick and suck at the crown. Thick cum smeared over her cleavage as Shelly stroked her head, teasing the fin running from her forehead to the back of her neck. The rabbit's legs twitched as her balls pumped a few more streams of warm, sticky seed across the shark's generous breasts, making a mess of Thresha's chest.

The lusty female didn't mind. She moaned and moved forward, enjoying the warmth of the rabbit's fur as the slick length slipped back and forth. The phukbunny's paws moved down, helping squeeze and massage the shark's generous breasts. Her aching nipples stood out, hard and firm.

The shark felt a surge of pleasure when Shelly tugged her up, so that the rabbit's shaft pressed into her belly. The phukbunny's muzzle closed around of her nipples and she grasped the rabbit's shoulders. The long, slick length throbbed in the lower part of her cleavage as, after several good suckles, a burst of milk flooded Shelly's muzzle.

The rabbit moaned and swallowed eagerly, massaging the other teat eagerly as shi continued to purse hir lips, drawing another few gulps from the shark's full breasts. Thresha moaned even louder and reached down with one hand, grasping the base of Shelly's length and squeezing. The phukbunny's hips lifted, driving the maleness upwards, as shi bent over, demonstrating her flexibility.

The rabbit tensed as shi switched off to the other nipple and was rewarded with a fresh flow of milk. Thresha cooed at her, both thick nipples aching. Milk flowed strongly from both now, soaking down her blue skin and the rabbit's pale chest fur. The length in her webbed fingers throbbed against her palm. She kept rubbing until Shelly made small moans and squeaks of pleasure. The phukbunny tried to pull away, to warn the shark, but Thresha knew the bunny too well - and knew exactly what she was getting.

The second explosion of cum pumped out from between Thresha's round, heavy breasts, squirting up and rolling down the outsides of the huge orbs, leaving white trails of sticky webbing. The shark grinned as she watched Shelly. The rabbit closed hir eyes, cried out softly, and thrust hir hips into Thresha's palm, arms grabbing onto the shark and pulling her close. The bunny's cock pulsed, still shooting a huge, messy load that left them both covered in juices and milk.

Thresha was about to move away, but the rabbit resisted, pulling her back for another kiss. They squeezed together tightly, messily, grinding on each other roughly as their lust consumed them. Thresha knew Shelly to be passionate, but tonight she was doubly so. The rabbit just could not get enough of the shark and rubbed at her shoulders, sides, and breasts, moaning needfully all the while.

Eventually, Shelly opened hir eyes and grinned at Thresha, who smiled back. Their lips hovered inches from each other as they relaxed, with Thresha still half-kneeling on the floor.

"Bedroom?" the bunny asked, slipping hir thumbs over Thresha's teats.

"Mmmhh! Yeah," Thresha said, sighing with pleasure as heat burned through her. Her pussy ached for another go, but she wasn't worried - the rabbit had the stamina typical of a phukbunny.

Leaving the soaked couch behind, the two walked together into the bedroom. Shelly slipped behind Thresha, pressing her cock into the small of the shark's back, above her thick tail base. Thresha leaned back into the bunny's chest as fuzzy paws found her breasts and squeezed them, getting another surge of milk to flow over those furry fingers.

Small, blunt teeth nibbled down the back of Thresha's neck. The blue shark's tail lifted, pushing to the side, and Shelly pressed her forward, bending her over the bed. The shark's breasts flattened on the covers as she spread her legs and lifted her tail higher, exposing her thick pussy lips, dripping with cum and clear feminine juices.

Shelly licked hir lips and gripped hir cock, still fully erect. It twitched in hir grasp as shi pressed forward, guiding the large tip between the shark's pinkness. Thresha moaned aloud and buried her head in the covers as the lustful bunny ground in deep, taking her in a single thrust. The shark climaxed immediately, rippling and clenching around the length as more honey drizzled down her thighs. The phukbunny grinned and grabbed the shark's tail in one arm, hugging it to hir soaked chest. The other paw pressed into the small of Thresha's backside as shi moved her hips, back and forth, using every inch of hir thickness to pleasure the moaning, squirming female.

"Ohhh... oh, Thresha... I... I... oooh..."

The moans grew in volume and the thrusts increased in speed, until the rabbit was hammering away, pumping rapidly, driving hir length in as deep as shi could go. Hir heavy balls, dense with pent-up seed despite two climaxes already, swung and smacked between Thresha's thighs. Shi released the shark's tail and groped at her rump instead. It fell over hir shoulders as shi pumped in harder, feeling every movement of the shark's hips as she came again and again.

"Oh, Thresha! I... I love you!"

Thresha's eyes went wide with shock and surprise at hearing those words. The shark didn't have much time to reflect on them, however, when Shelly pushed in hard one last time. Her thickness swelled as hir climax rushed through hir. Hir sharp little claws pricked at Thresha's tough skin. The shark let out a quavering growl of approval as a fresh batch of bunny-cum flooded hir stretched, sore pussy. Shelly leaned into her until shi was sure the shark had milked out every last drop of hir orgasm.

The busty female shivered as she felt the thickness pull free, popping out with a little slurping noise. She finally relaxed, slumping against the bed, knees trembling. Shelly climbed on next to her and tugged on her shoulders, getting her to slide up so they were together, heads on the pillow at the top of the bed. The shark sighed and draped one arm over the rabbit's belly, resting her muzzle on Shelly's shoulder.

The rabbit churred quietly and stroked Thresha's neck and back, teasing her with hir claws.

"Did I mention how glad I am you came over tonight?" the rabbit said, letting out another satisfied sigh.

"Me too," Thresha said in a small voice. Despite the warm, aching pleasure in her lower body, she couldn't stop thinking about what the rabbit had shouted. Was it simply a moment of passion? Or... did Shelly...

Thresha's worried melted a moment later when she felt the bunny's lips press against her forehead. She closed her eyes and hummed her appreciation. The phukbunny was born to, well, fuck. It probably didn't mean anything.

The shark regretted the thought as soon as it entered her mind. Something stirred in the pit of her belly as she realized... she wanted it to mean something. To mean everything.

"So your date didn't go well?"

Thresha opened her eyes. That was a strange question to ask while basking in the afterglow of a solid hour of frenzied fucking.

"Um... no, not so well," she said, trying to relax again. "He was nice and all, but... you know."

"Thresha..."

The shark closed her eyes. Shelly was about to say something. Something important. She knew it was coming. That familiar pressure built up again, the fear of rejection, of being alone, the same fears she felt earlier at the restaurant. Thresha shivered and fought back against it, clutching more tightly to Shelly's warm body. The urge to leave gripped her all of the sudden and she shook, resisting the impulse. Not this time. Not this time...

"You okay?"

Shelly's voice was quiet, gentle, kind. Thresha forced her body to relax, to release the tension in her arms. Was this really how she wanted to be? Could she be different?

It couldn't be so difficult. And if it didn't work... well... maybe she could still be friends with Shelly. The bunny had always been so nice to her, such a good friend. Did shi want more, like Thresha did?

There was only one way to find out. Despite every fiber of her being screaming at her to stop, to just enjoy the moment, to not worry about the future, she lifted her head and looked up at Shelly. The rabbit smiled at her, but hir eyes were too wide. They were worried eyes. Shi knew something was different tonight. Was she thinking about what shi'd said earlier too?

"Shelly... I... I want you."

The rabbit laughed and hugged her close. "You've already had me, babe."

"No, I mean," Thresha started, pushing away from the rabbit. She turned away, sitting up, and let her legs hang over the edge of the bed. Shelly's paw slipped over her shoulder, trying to pull her back, but she ignored it.

"I want us to be together," she said at length. Words formed slowly. Her tongue felt think. Why was this so hard? "I've been wanting something more for a long time. I don't know if I'm ready, but I want to try."

The rabbit was quiet for a moment. Then: "What do you mean?"

Thresha stood up suddenly and stalked back and forth on the floor, ignoring the fluids dripping down her thighs. She gesticulated wildly as she spoke.

"I mean, I want you! And me! Together! I've been alone. So long. Even when I'm with you, I feel alone. Until you said... you said..." The shark's voice dropped to a whisper. "You said you loved me."

She stopped moving and let her arms drop to her sides. Breathing hard, she turned to face the phukbunny. Shelly lay back, arms crossed over hir belly, under hir breasts, watching the shark. Hir expression gave Thresha no clues.

"I've been scared for so long. I'm tired of that. I want things to be different. I... I love you too."

There. She said it. The hardest thing she'd ever said in her life. She felt sick to her stomach as she stared at Shelly. Tears formed in the corners of her eyes as the rabbit stared back at her, muzzle open.

"I'm ready to try, Shelly. And... I want to try with you. All those dates, those one night stands... they never felt as good as with you. I'm sorry, I just... I had to tell you. I don't know why."

Thresha turned away, holding back a sob that threatened to choke her. A flood of emotion left her feeling vulnerable and weak. She wasn't used to feeling this way. She was strong, dammit. She made the decisions. She chose to sleep with her dates, she chose to come over to Shelly's. So why was she feeling so helpless? How could three little words make her feel so... so...

"I'll go," she said finally. "I'm sorry. I just... I don't feel right tonight."

"Thresha... wait..."

Something in the bunny's voice made Thresha's stomach flip-flop. Hope surged in her chest. She turned away from the door to face the rabbit.

Shelly moved off the bed and stood in front of Thresha. Shi gripped the shark's hands in hirs and smiled.

"I... I feel the same. But I never said anything. I wasn't sure you felt that way." The rabbit looked to the side. "I've been... waiting. A long time. A really long time, to hear you say that. Tonight... I meant it. I love you. You're my best friend, my lover, and... I... I love you."

Thresha's heart felt like it would burst right out of her throat and she squeezed Shelly's paws.

"So... you..."

"I want you, too."

Shelly threw hir arms around Thresha, hugging hirself as tightly as shi could to the female's thick body. Thresha stood, stunned, and finally moved her arms to return the hug. Relieved laughter poured from both their throats as they leaned together, heads on each other's shoulders, gripping each other as though they never planned to let go.

"So... we're together now, I guess?" she said, unable to stop the plaintive, needy question.

Shelly laughed and pressed hir nose into the crook of Thresha's neck.

"Yeah, babe... we're together now."

"I'm sorry, I just... I can't help worrying."

"It's okay. I'm worried too," the bunny whispered. "But I'm here for you. I always will be, no matter what."

Thresha's beating heart thrummed in her chest and her tail swayed behind her. She squeezed her hands into Shelly's shoulders and leaned forward, hugging the bunny fiercely. Her chest felt tight, but for a whole other reason.

They stood that way for several minutes, neither wanting to break away from the other. Shelly's slow breathing echoed in Thresha's hearing and the shark felt hope for the future, for the first time in a long while. The shark didn't release her tight grip on the bunny until Shelly pulled back.

"I should have said the magic words soon," shi said teasingly. "I've had a crush on you for so long... I think Dante and James knew, but I never told them."

"They said you were in a weird mood tonight," Thresha said. "I guess I didn't put it together."

The two grinned at each other as Shelly's erection lifted between them. Thresha glanced down at the thick member before looking back up at Shelly.

"So... are you my boyfriend or my girlfriend?"

The rabbit churred and leaned forward, brushing hir lips over the shark's muzzle.

"I'm whatever you want me to be, babe."

Dante's phone buzzed at the same time as James's did. They looked at their screens, then at each other. Smiles broke out.

"It's about time!" they said in unison.
