About Keith: Chapter 1
Keith is shy but forthright. He befriends a beautiful girl at school who is more than she seems
Victoria Anne. The young fox murred and smiled at the thought of the girl. Shi was stunningly beautiful to everyone; especially to him. They had been friends since shi came: ever since he'd stood up for hir against a big badger who was bullying everyone. The badger had raked his face with his claws and scarred him, but Keith liked the look. It made him look more fierce than he really thought he was. The fight was never really finished because they had been interrupted by Mr. Jackson, a hulking bulldog and principal. Keith had still managed to break that badger's ribs and jaw. The badger was expelled, Keith was left bleeding in the nurse's station. Victoria met him there between classes and hugged him repeatedly.
Keith was a well-proportioned male anthro fox. He was not over strong, though not weak, nor heavy or light. Just about right in the eyes of the females of the school. He was popular with most females, though somewhat shy. He was much more of a brother than dating material. This year, though, what with the fight and puberty finally hitting, Keith was looking more and more like a good date.
"Hiya Keefer!" the voice was enough to bring sunshine to midnight. Keith looked around to find the white tiger at a table by hirself. Hir whole body screamed sex and Keith could feel his member stirring with lust. He blushed in shame, feeling guilty at being turned on by his best friend. Now, to say that Victoria was beautiful would be an understatement of the same caliber as; the Titanic didn't like icebergs, or it is a bad idea to fill zeppelins with highly flammable gasses such as hydrogen. Vic was amazing.
Many were the men jilted by Victoria. Many more were pining for hir. Not one knew she was a shi. Victoria had transferred from out of the country. Hir accent was light but exotic and only made hir lithe sensuality all the more apparent: especially at cheer leading practice. Every male of every species on the team had asked hir on dates. Shi had courted a few, but never seriously. As far as anyone could tell, hir only male friend in the whole world was Keith. They were as unlikely a pair as anyone had ever seen. Shi was an outgoing amazon goddess, he was normal and introverted. Shi was sporty, he was bookish. They were the best of friends.
Keith adjusted himself to prevent his bulge from being noticeable as he passed a group of girls. He trotted over to hir table, head down. It was just as he saw the hoof that it tripped him. It was Chaz Porter, the football stud. Keith saw what was happening and had just enough time to toss his lunch tray at Chaz. Everything went all over him, Keith merely rolled and righted himself, smirking. Chaz pushed himself back from the table in a rage. He stood at least a head taller than Keith.
"Why don't you watch what you're doing you stupid fuck!" shouted the horse.
Keith kept his cool, still smiling, "Suppose you hadn't tripped me? Perhaps then you wouldn't be wearing macaroni and green beans."
"Who says I tripped you, shit-for-brains?" bellowed Chaz.
"I do!" shouted Victoria from behind Keith. He had not even noticed hir approach. "I saw you do it! How dare you treat others badly because they're not as big as you!"
Chaz's eyes narrowed slightly and he sized the tiger up, "You talk a big game, girl, but everyone knows you're a virgin."
Victoria's nose, ears, and cheeks blushed crimson. Shi worked hir mouth in embarrassment as the rest of the cheerleader team laughed hir to scorn. "Pop!" A hollow thudding sound echoed over the sound of the cruel girl's laughter, followed by Chaz's ungainly backward topple. It had happened so quickly that no one had seen it. Chaz fell like a tree, groaning slightly and then crashing to the ground with a terrific sound, his jaw jacked sideways.
Vic and Keith returned to their table just as Mr. Jackson came stomping into the room. No one would tell him what happened. He went to great lengths to extract the story, even calling a school assembly. No one told him for fear of two things: Chaz's reprisal, and Keith's lightning reflexes.
Keith sat feeling hungry across from Victoria. "Thanks." His voice was low and soft.
"I suppose I should be thanking you... You're always there to defend my honor"
"You're worth it." spat Keith before he could think about it. Suddenly, his ears went back and his face burned more red than hirs had. He looked away, massaging his knuckles. Victoria was smiling. Shi arose and walked around to look at his hand paw.
"Mmmm. You poor thing! I think you've broken a few bones!"
Keith winced as shi manipulated his palm a little. "Easy - UGH!"
Victoria looked around and said, "Angle yourself more toward the table, luv."
"Huh?"
Shi pushed his shoulder until he turned a little. Suddenly shi closed hir eyes and sat very still for a moment. Keith felt heat rising in his bones and a gnawing sensation in his broken bones. With a loud crunch, Victoria set his bones. He would have shouted but it didn't hurt at all. The heat was filling his whole body now. Shi released his hand paw and opened hir eyes. Sound suddenly came rushing back into his ears. He could hear Mr. Jackson bellowing about expulsion and restitution. On and on he went, but Keith was lost in the most beautiful green eyes. To all others in the cafeteria, Keith and Victoria were holding hands.
Complete volumes of words poured between the two of them, though none were spoken. After a long while Victoria spoke, "You're so good to me. Why?"
Keith blushed, "Why not, Vic? You're good to everyone."
Shi looked away, shame filling hir face. Hir black and white hair with it's purple tinged highlights framed hir stunning features. It made Keith want to capture hir and take hir far away from hir troubles and problems. Keith stammered, "Vic... I... Uhh... I... Well... You see..."
Victoria had turned back and was now smirking due to the fox's awkwardness.
"Well see, I wondered something."
"Yes?" shi purred. Sex poured from hir lips with the syllables.
Carl was having a hard time concentrating, "I thought you might like to come over to my house to watch a movie? We could catch pizza on the way home." His face was terribly red, redder even that his fur. He looked down, shaking and mortally embarrassed. Victoria's response could not have surprised him more.
"Dinner and a movie?" she squealed. "Oh I'd love to Keith!" Shi hugged him, hir fabulous D cup breasts pressing into his chest. Shi was only a little shorter than he. He was not tiny. He was two meters exactly. Shi was 1.93. A few fursons also in the lunch room noticed, but no one cared what the two in their own table at the end of the lunch room were doing.
Keith almost died right there. "Really?"
"It's a date, luv. I was hoping you would." Shi eyed him seductively, "Let me go home first. I'll change. What should I wear?"
Keith had intended to say, "anything" but Freud would have been proud to hear him say, "Nothing!" gasp, and then cover his muzzle with both hand paws. He fell backward on the bench in deathly embarrassment and lay there some time before the sounds of amiable laughter brought him back from his self-induced coma. Victoria was lost in a fit of mirth. She leaned on the table weakly dabbing tears from hir perfect eyes. Shi chuckled so hard that shi held one side for the stitch shi had in it.
Keith was irritated now. He had bared his soul and shi was laughing at him! In anger he pushed on the bench to stand. He wasn't going to get clawed and mocked for hir honor only to be belittled by hir. He started to turn only to feel a gentle paw on his arm. Shi turned him toward hir. Hir eyes were still damp from the tears of joy. Shi stood and wrapped hir arms around him.
"You are so cute." shi said.
All of Keith's anger vaporized He blushed bashfully. "Well... You're just saying that... And I would never come close to you... I mean... You're amazing!"
"Dinner and a movie, eh? It's a date Keefer! Just you and me!" Shi leaned in and surprised him more than he had ever been. Shi kissed him. Keith Agnew's heart slowed down and time stopped as that kiss filled him with joy and longing. After a while (much too soon) it was over. Shi teased his neck fur and bounded away to return hir tray and go to hir next class. The rest of the school day was a complete haze. He was sure it happened, but Keith Agnew had no idea of any specifics.
As soon as school ended, Keith dashed out to his car and drove home. He was to be at hir house at five o'clock promptly. He had two and a half hours! He rushed home and announced his date, his mother smiling at him happily. She helped him primp and groom as much as he would let. Keith's father, Steve, was a drunk who was more interested in his bottle than his family. Keith's mother, Eveylin, had taken to raising him as best she could. She knew that her kit's "puppy love" couldn't work for many reasons, but she was going to be supportive. She remembered her first romance. He was a zebra. Everybody knew that zebras have the largest male member of any ungulate in the world. She flushed a little thinking about it. They couldn't, of course, have children. Eventually they broke up and Evelyn had found Steve and been happy for a time.
"I have to be there by five o'clock mom!" whined Keith, "I gotta GO!"
"Oh ok! Fine! Go and have fun! Bring her back here so I can meet her! Only I've heard so much about her! Oh and!" Evelyn went rummaging about in her handbag and produced some money. "Use it if you need it."
Keith took the money happily, "Are you sure we can afford it mom?"
"Of course, sweetie. Go and have fun. I love you very much."
Keith kissed his mother's cheek and sprinted to the car, bounding over the entire hood of the vehicle in one leap, mussing the hair and tail that Mrs. Agnew had spent so long combing. She sighed wistfully
Keith was racing the engine as he broke the speed limits, heading toward hir house. "Victoria." he kept saying to himself.
Meanwhile, Victoria had alerted hir parents that shi would be visiting a friend. Shi had left out two pieces of information: hir friend's sex, and their intention. Hir mother, Katherine, easily as beautiful as shi, and father, Jack, a huge tiger of bodybuilding proportions had wished hir a fantastic evening. A light snowfall had begun to accumulate on the road as Keith made the last turn. He started to slow down as he neared hir house, looking down to read the directions. Suddenly his passenger side front tire caught the berm at the edge of the road.
"Shit!" shouted Keith as he wrestled his aging auto back onto the asphalt He fishtailed and swerved, yawed and fluttered, but finally got the car under control. Gasping for breath as he pulled in front of hir house, he stepped on the brakes. He felt the car slow to almost a complete stop before he dropped his head to the steering wheel. "Wow. What a ride." he muttered. He placed the car in park and stepped out. He started walking to the door when he heard a heart-rending groan and the shattering of glass. He made an about-face and saw with utmost horror that his mirror was now inside of the car parked in front of the Anne household. His car had slid on the ice. Apparently nothing else had been damaged.
A huge white tiger opened the door, bearing his teeth. Keith actually fell backward shouting, "It was an accident! I'm so sorry! I'll work it off or pay or whatever you want!"
The tiger looked at the fox in complete puzzlement. He looked at the car with the broken window. He looked back at the fox. "Keith?" Boiled a voice somewhere between a growl and James Earl Jones.
Keith was almost wetting himself. He squirmed away fearfully. "I'm so sorry sir!"
Suddenly a huge white paw grabbed him up and pulled him inside.
"It was a accident!" shouted Keith as he was set gently onto the sofa.
Jack sat next to Keith and put a paw on his shoulder, "Take it easy boy. Your car slipped on the ice, then did it?"
Keith shook his head miserably.
"Alright. It's ok. It's nobody's fault. My insurance will cover it. We'll call it 'storm damage' or something. No biggee."
Keith started to calm down a little. He looked around his surroundings. Everything was rich. Everything was expensive. Everything made him feel less and less of a man, especially in comparison to this Olympian next to him. Keith's own worn clothing, a testament to their continual lack of funds, made him feel less than acceptable. Jack and Katherine were accommodating and appreciative of Keith even though he felt inferior Jack bared his teeth again and Keith shrunk back, feeling horrible.
"Keith, man, I'm smilin'! Don't act like I'm gonna rip off your head or something'! I'm SMILIN'!"
Keith looked up and realized that the tiger was also now laughing. Katherine was standing in the doorway, also laughing. She held a tray with three teacups. Keith started laughing shyly also, feeling relieved and embarrassed. Victoria's mother was at least as hot as shi was! Keith's manhood started to stir in spite of the hulking tiger beside him.
The tray was set on the coffee table and a cup was offered. "I'm Katherine." stated the sultry woman, "This is Jack." Jack offered his paw and Keith shook it.
"I'm sorry if I scared you, Keith my man. I didn't mean it."
Keith looked very silly, but adorable to both parents. "I'm so very sorry about the window. Perhaps I should call a tow?"
Jack let out a short barking laugh. "I think I can handle it, Keith. Thanks though!"
Again Keith felt foolish. He turned to look at Katherine but stopped as some movement at the stairwell caught his attention. He turned his head slightly so as to better see what was happening. His breath stilled in his chest. It was hir. The most beautiful creature on two paws.
Jack and Kathering looked up smiling both. "So you've finally finished!" smiled Jack, "Well come over here and introduce us!"
Keith's eyes were glued to the spectacular form descending the staircase. At school, shi was beautiful. At extra-curricular functions, shi was fantastic. The form that now descended the staircase was neither. Shi was perfect in every way. Hir shapely body was accentuated by the cami underneath of hir laced-up corset-style top. Hir belly button showed vaguely through that luxurious fur that covered hir athletic body. Hir low-cut hip-hugger pants stopped just shy of being full-length, but too long for capris. Shi was certainly dressed casual, but to Keith? No one had ever been more beautiful.
After an interminable few seconds, shi bounded to Keith who stumbled to a stand as shi arrived. "Hi!" shi said sweetly accompanied with a kiss on the cheek that made Keith suddenly realize that he hadn't been breathing. He gasped a breath, much to the amusement of Jack and Katherine, who chuckled demurely.
"Alright Keith." shot that voice from behind, breaking the trance that had been causing the two to stare into each others eyes, "How are you at driving in the snow. I know you're not that great at parking." Keith laughed embarassedly. Katherine looked at him carefully, sizing him up.
"Honestly sir," started Keith but he was interrupted bu Jack who laughed.
"Please! Don't call me sir. Just call me Jack. It's ok."
Keith was uncomfortable, "I... uhhh..." He looked at Victoria. Those amazing eyes kept his gaze and shi shook hir head in the affirmative.
"OK... Jack." He almost winced at the familiar term. "Honestly I used to live in Buffalo New York. I had to drive up there. I can't believe I did that. I feel so friggen' stupid."
Jack and Katherine looked at each other. "Why don't you bring Vic back here after the pizza. We have a home theater in the basement. It's not hard to use."
"I guess, as long as it's ok." Keith looked around, completely flustered, "I'll have to call my mom so she doesn't worry though."
Katherine produced a telephone from seemingly nowhere. Keith muttered his thanks as he dialed and wandered out of earshot, or so he thought.
"Hi mom. Yeah... It's a really nice place. Yeah. I wanted to know if you mind if I keep her closer to her house because of the weather. Yeah. OK Thanks then. OK so brace yourself. I"m totally alright but...Well... I kind of wrecked the car. No, no, I'm fine. I wasn't even in the car when it happened. Yeah. Well... I know mom, there was ice and it slipped over after it was in park. I know we don't have any money. Uhh... I guess..."
He held the cordless phone over to Jack and murmured, "She wants to talk to you."
Jack smiled congenially, "Hello?" A pause. "Ma'am... Really! It's ok... Tell you what: Why doesn't Keith come over for two days and work for us. That should pay for the window if you're that worried about it. ok. ok. Well... We'll worry about when later. Just know that your child is just fine. Your car, is also just fine. No ma'am, he just parked it and it slid. I saw it myself. It's not his fault. Thank you. Don't mention it. Why don't you both come over and we'll make a dinner of it? Gladly! Alright! Wednesday!" He looked at Katherine who grimaced. "Oh wait, my wife is pulling faces at me." he put the receiver away from his mouth, "Wednesday is bad? Thursday? Friday? Friday?" He returned his mouth to the microphone, "Friday work for you? Yeah? Great! Friday it is! Alright! Here's your son." Jack winked as he handed the telephone back.
"Uhh... Yeah... Really nice... Thanks mom. I love you too. Bye." Keith was now utterly and completely embarrassed and humiliated. He looked at Victoria and shi kissed him on the nose cheekily.
"Come on Keefer. Let's go get pizza." Shi purred. Keith's eyes closed slightly, completely thrilled with the prospect.
"Have a good time!" both parents crooned in their slight accents. Keith thought for a moment that they sounded foreign He couldn't place the accent.
Keith wandered out to the car, witnessing the crime scene again. A new dose of shame attacked him. Vic giggled and yelled back to the house, "Daddy!" The door opened. Shi pointed with an expectant look.
"Blimey! I forgot!" Hir father clapped his hand paw to his forehead. He trotted over and stood on the street side of the car. Both children were there watching at this time. Jack reached over and grabbed the bottom of the frame and lifted the car completely off of the ground.
Keith yelped and turned to run but Victoria stomped on his tail and turned to hiss "Stay." with narrow eyes. He gulped and watched the amazing feat of strength as the man hoisted and then returned the car to it's proper position.
Jack wiped sweat from his brow, "Whew!" He blew out his breath and shook his mane, "I must be getting out of shape!"
Victoria giggled and thanked him. Keith was still stunned. He managed a semi-conscious mumble. Jack bowed and returned to the house without further delay.
Vic walked over to the car and Keith followed dumbly. When they got there, he unlocked and opened the door. Keith then walked around the other side of the automobile and got in. He started the engine and then stared hard at Victoria Anne. "What does your dad do for a living?"
"He's a hired thug." said shi with a giggle.
Keith's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "What?" he yelped.
"Relax babe. I'm just teasing. He's a scientist. Try to relax, luv. They liked you. I could tell."
"Well I've gone and made a complete ass of myself." spouted Keith in anger.
"Honey... Really... You did fine considering the circumstances."
Words hung in the air as Keith digested them, "Babe", "luv", "Honey". He allowed himself to cool down and cast an affectionate gaze at hir. They had only a scant four block drive to the Pizzaria. When they arrived, Keith's late model car stalled in the center turning lane, blocking traffic for fifteen minutes or so while he played with the mechanical choke he had installed because the factory one had quit after two hundred thousand kilometers
After a few minutes more, Keith felt a soft paw on his knee. Shi leaned in and moaned, "May I try?"
Blood rushed away from Keith's head and into his lower head. In an erotic fog, Keith would have sold hir his soul. Shi snickered and turned the choke fully each direction for a while before smiling, "Try it again, champ." He turned the key and shi pressed on his leg. He started to pump the gas. "Oh no! Don't put any more gas in it! You'll flood it!" Sure enough, a black cloud belched from the tailpipe as the engine sputtered and died. Shi laughed and said, "Pop the hood.", accompanied with a kiss on the cheek.
Keith popped the hood feeling more and more weak. What else could possibly go wrong? Victoria popped the hood, Keith in tow. He helped hir remove the air cleaner and then shi stuffed a pen into the butterfly on the carburetor. "Fire it up, tiger!"
Keith laughed at the pet name. Shi was the tiger, of course. He turned the key and to his amazement, the old car started right up. Shi smiled and removed the pen. The was just tightening the thumb screw on the air cleaner cover when Keith came meandering back to the front. "So you're amazing in more ways than I could have possibly thought." Shi just smiled stunningly and bounded back to the car door. Keith shut the hood and drove the rest of the way in complete silence, just feeling terrible.
When they arrived at the Pizza-shack, he opened hir door. Shi extended hir paw daintily and stepped up to the curb. On the way in the door, shi took his arm, twisting the two together and them holding his hand paw softly. Shi looked at him, smiling at his surprise. "Keefer... I think this is the start of a long beautiful relationship."
Keith gasped and looked at hir quickly. Shi purred at him. The rest of the time; the pizza, the soft conversation, the holding of hands, was all a complete blur to him. His mind wouldn't accept the fantastic reality that was now his. He would date the most beautiful of females in the whole school. He would be reviled and hated by the jilted men. He chuckled to himself softly. Things might actually start going his way.
