Act I: Scene I
#1 of Hans/Dmitri commissions
Commission for Hans/Dmitri. Hope you Enjoy it sweetie!
Nova watched from backstage enraptured by the performance. As always, he mouthed the lines along with the actor, feeling the tense emotion as the scene reached it's epic climax.
"All things must end...and now, I meet my own. Farewell, beloved..."
Despite having seen the performance countless times, Nova felt tears in his own eyes as Dmitri's body went slack and his last breath rattled out. The applause of the audience was thunderous as the curtain fell from above; tonights show no doubt continuing the flood of positive reviews. He applauded along with all the others, smiling wide as he watched the star actor stand and walk out the curtains for his bow.
"Hey!" A gruff voice sounded over his shoulder, accompanied by a hard shove. "Get working pretty boy!"
Nova started a little and looked back at the grisled fur behind him. Kurt, a cantankerous, feline stagehand glared back at him. Nova's smile quickly dropped and he rushed forward to help the others disassemble all the stage decorations and props. It was never wise to go against Kurt. He could even make some of the actors jump out of their boots if he had a mind. The grumpy cat wasn't all that bad, really, but he tolerated no foolishness and saw Nova as a bit of a freeloader around here.
Nova quickly started helping take down the pieces of the backdrop along with Daniel, a witty, brown and white speckled little canine of indeterminable heritage. Daniel smirked up at Nova and gave a little wink. "Don't let the corners cut into those delicate paws of yours, beautiful." He chuckled as they hauled the bigger piece back to the storage area.
Nova just rolled his eyes. He was used to it by now. He was a husky, maybe a little bit of wolf thrown in here and there, it was hard to tell. But he had been born with a very feminine form; tall, with gentle curves to his body. His white fur had a natural sheen about it and was only accentuated by his black tipped ears and paws. He constantly had to be careful on stage of his fluffy tail knocking things over or distracting other stagehands. His looks and the fact that he had a somewhat unique situation with the theater company caused him to be the point of ridicule for most of the other common workers.
"Don't worry," He replied to Daniel. "I have my fifty servants tend to them every night after a day of my tedious labors" He said in his best King Joel voice.
Daniel laughed, a wide grin on his face. "Ha! Pretty good! You could be on stage with the rest of them!" He shook his head, chuckling again. "If only you weren't a mutt like us in reality."
He sighed, knowing the truth of that all too well. He'd love nothing more than to be on stage, to be loved and respected like the actors. But only purebreds could get sweet work like that. Nobody would take a chance on the skills of dirty mixed breed, no matter how they looked. Places were very careful about making sure you had proper documentation about your history.
Nova grabbed a broom and started sweeping up when he saw him walk by, most likely taking his leave for the night. Nova dropped the broom and any thought of what else he was supposed to be doing and ran up to Dmitri.
"You did a great job tonight! I mean, as usual, of course...but wow, I mean, tonight was extra just...bam! Right to the heart, every scene, I loved it. I mean, everyone did, of course but....um...great job! You're amazing!" Nova panted as his praise and adulation for the companies star actor poured out.
The German Shepherd gave an amused head tilt at Nova, giving a slow smile. "Ahh, thank you, Nova. So kind as always, and so free with praise!" He reached out casually and gave Nova a little scritch behind his left ear, making the huskies tail wag furiously. "But always for me, haha! Sweet Belinda is over there, and the deep love Marcus has is nothing without his lady. Why not drown her in a torrent of pleasing words?"
Nova smiled wide, blushing. "Oh...I don't know. I mean you're the best there is. I just, I'm a big fan of yours. I wish I could be like you. Oh...." Nova cleared his throat embarrassed. "I mean, I know of course not. Not for a Mix, but..I didn't mean to offend you."
Dmitri only gave a deep laugh, clapping Nova on the shoulder. "Of course not, I take none. Despite what the world says, always have faith in yourself, my dear. Now if you'll excuse me." He gave Nova another smile and turned, going on his way. Nova stared at his form as he walked off, sighing and feeling a familiar longing; both in his heart and...lower...
He shook his head, blushing deeply and coming back to reality. Thinking to himself. "Yeah, right. You're not even on his radar. You don't even know if he's...that way. And even if he was, a star actor? With me? Not ever. Just get sweeping." So he did, cleaning up and doing everything he could to help the actors have another wonderful showing tomorrow.
Nova waved as the last of the help left the building. He closed the doors and locked up. This was probably one of his favorite times of the day. When everyone else had left, and he got to have the run of the place. It was a deep trust the actors gave him and he appreciated that. Besides, he had nowhere else to go.
Orphaned at a young age, Nova had wandered into the company a few years ago. Hiding out in stacks of coiled rope and sand bags. Stealing meager supplies as he could. Old Kurt had seized him by the scruff one day as Nova had been trying to snatch a stagehands wrapped sandwich out of his back pocket.
He'd been about to be tossed on his ears when Dmitri had seen and taken pity on him. He'd allowed Nova to stay in the theater building and work along with the other stagehands, putting together a tiny space for him to sleep in the back. Even giving him a tiny wage. Wasn't much to do with, but it was enough for Nova. He'd fallen in love with the theater, and Dmitri, and had been here happily ever since.
He wandered around the darkened stage, closing his eyes as his mind whisked him away. The crowd hanging on his every word, watching his motions, enthralled by his performance. Shouting their approval as he bowed. Sighing, he smiled. What a treat that would be. Looking around to make sure no one was about, he giggled and ran to indulge in one of his favorite, and most secret, pastimes.
Walking into the girls dressing room, he immediately selected the costume from his favorite play, "The Unknown Hero", the one that Dmitri and his crew had been running this week. Giggling, he quickly stripped and donned the clothes of Marcus' true love, Elliandre. A long, flowing emerald silk gown accompanied with elbow length white gloves, beautiful white heels, and a gorgeous golden chain necklace, a gift from her precious soul mate. He even donned the slightly curly, shoulder length blonde wig, looking at himself in the dressing mirror to make sure it fit naturally. One good thing about his slender body. Womens clothes fit him wonderfully.
Laughing, he gave a little twirl, flaring the dress out and imaging being a star actor like the rest of them. Admiring the way the dress clung to his feminine curves, he didn't even notice Dmitri sneaking up behind him until he grabbed Novas waist from behind. Nova yelped loudly and spun around, terrified.
Dmitri only laughed and looked at the startled husky. "Ahh.....and here I thought I'd caught a female waif for my good friend Nova to meet, but as it turns out, they are one in the same!"
Nova blushed furiously. For all the people to see him like this. He felt tears coming on. Dmitri frowned and rushed over to him, using a gentle finger to wipe Novas eyes. "Now, now..." He said softly, "None of that, I apologize. I should not have made sport like that. You know, you are very, very beautiful, my dear."
Nova sniffled and looked up at Dmitri. "You don't mean that. You think I'm...."
Dmitri scoffed, "Think you are what? A lowly Mix? A being beneath me? Ha! Not so. Far from the truth in fact." He sighed, seeing Novas continued distress at the situation. He patted his shoulder and said "Come, let me show you something." Nova began removing the clothes, but Dmitri stopped him. "No, it suits you. In all honesty. Now, come. Please" He walked off and Nova followed him curiously.
He led them back to Dmitri's office, ushering in Nova before closing the door and locking it. Nova looked curious at his German Shepherd friend. "What are you about, Dmitri?"
Dmitri only smiled and pulled out a box from one of the desk drawers. Opening it, he gestured to an old photograph within. "Look, there." Nova grabbed the picture and stared at it, still not understanding. "Those there, they are my parents. My mother...she is the husky you see there with her dashing husband."
Nova stared a bit longer before it dawned on him. "You're...you're a..."
Dmitri performed an excellent dastardly laugh. "Yes, my dear! I am a villainous Mix! Not fit for decent company in our world!" He chuckled, curling an imaginary villains mustache.
"Come, follow me." He said once more, walking further into the room, parting a hanging curtain that revealed a narrow staircase leading upwards. Nova obeyed and after a short climb, found himself on the roof. "You see...I understand you better than you think, Nova." Dmitri said, stepping out onto the flat, star lit roof. "I know your fascination, your love of the theater. How great it is to put on a mask, and be whatever you want! To be loved, hated, cheered for and booed all at your whim. That's the magic it offers us, a chance to go beyond ourselves, to be however our heart desires."
Nova followed him up, gasping at the beautiful view of the night shrouded city. At the majestic view of Dmitri outlined by the soft, shining moon light. Dmitri offered his paw out to Nova, and he took it hesitantly. The Shepherd/Husky mix pulled Nova towards him and took him into a close embrace, swaying gently into a slow waltz around the quiet, peaceful roof.
"I know you wear a mask, my dear friend. It is why you fit in so well here." Dmitri took a slow deep breath, taking in Novas scent and looking down at his dazzling appearance. "And tonight, I feel like it is the first time I've truly seen you without it....and I would like to drop mine as well.." With that, he slowly leaned forward and placed a soft, warm kiss upon Novas mouth that lasted a long moment.
When Dmitri pulled back, he simply gazed at the husky. Nova was nearly too shocked to believe this was really happening. "You...you're...but..but..." Nova tried to say.
"Yes..It is why I came back here this night. To see you..." He chuckled, and flicked a lock of the blonde hair out of Novas eyes. "Instead I find this mesmerizing female....bewitching me with her effortless charms..." He brought a paw up to Novas chest, gently letting it run down, down...until it rested firmly between his legs. "A most unique one, it seems..." He gave a little squeeze, revealing the fact of Novas extreme arousal at tonights events.
Nova gave a breathless moan, his face blazing and his heart pounding. He couldn't believe this was happening. It was a dream, an impossibility! But, Dmitris paw felt so good there....how often had he longed for this exact touch? Who cares if it's a dream, if it is, it was time to enjoy it. Nova leaned up and took Dmitri in a kiss of his own, stronger and more heated than the first, an involuntary moan escaping him as he felt Dmitri return it.
Dmitri gave a slow, lustful growl in response, taking Nova tighter into his arms, their bodies pressed close together as the intensity of their kiss increased dramatically. Abandoning any reservations, their passion became frantic. Their paws explored eagerly each others body, and Dmitri nipped and kissed at Novas slender neck, eliciting more and more shuddering, girlish moans and gasps from the young husky. Novas paws drifted down and felt a hardness he'd frequently fantasized of. Rubbing and kneading the bulge he felt, He looked deeply into Dmitris eyes. Both of them panting, their bodies radiating heat and need, Nova only nodded, whispering "Yes, Dmitri....please.."
"Lay back, my dear..." Dmitri said gently, and Nova went down slowly to the smooth surface of the building. As he went to his back, he saw Dmitri, silhouetted by star and moon light, the warm summer night air surrounding them as the rest of the city slept. He knew he would remember this forever. His heart hammered like never before as he saw Dmitri approach, undoing his clothes and kneeling down before Nova.
Slowly, Dmitri pushed up silken dress. He gave a low chuckle at what he saw. "No undergarments, my dear?" He said. Nova replied breathlessly, his nervousness and eagerness storming inside him. "I...I didn't...have time to find them..I.."
"Sshhh...." Dmitri shushed him, taking Novas erect member in his paw. Nova closed his eyes and gave a deeply pleased groan at the electrifying touch. His hips bucking a bit involuntarily. Giving another quiet laugh, Dmitri stroked, causing pre to almost immediately leak from the tip of Novas shaft. "I would love to enjoy this more slowly my dear...but..I have places to be...I..didn't expect events to unfold this way..." Moving his now pre covered paw to Novas exposed tailhole, he gently teased the huskies entrance with a finger. Nova gasped loudly at the exquisite feeling. "Lift your legs, my love.."
Trembling a bit, Nova did so, wrapping his legs around Dmitri as he moved in closer. Nova could feel the hot, pulsing tip of the Shepherd mix's member pressing against him. Nova thought his heart would explode out of his chest any moment from it's manic pace as he awaited its filling presence inside him.
With another low, lustful growl, Dmitri pushed his hips forward and began pressing into Nova, stretching more and more. Nova couldn't believe how large Dmitri was. He groaned and squirmed as each inch was slowly but relentlessly pushed into his warm insides. At last, his whole length rested inside, and Dmitri paused, panting, giving Nova a moment to adjust.
"D..Dmitri...it's so good...I love you..I love you so much!" Nova breathed out desperately.
"And I you..." Dmitri replied gently, beginning a slow motion with his hips. In and out, he pressed into the flushed, moaning little husky in a steady, loving rhythm. Smiling as each thrust caused little feminine yelps and barks from the slim boy. As more pre from Dmitri slickened Novas entrance, his movements became faster, pressing harder into the husky with his forward thrusts. He could feel his large knot forming, stretching Nova wider and wider inside, locking them together. Obviously forgetting himself or any remaining shred of decorum, Nova gave a deep, lewd groan and squeezed down on the knot, surprising Dmitri and almost causing him to howl in pleasure.
Pleasure took full control of them both and as Dmitri flew into a hard, pounding pace, Nova could only gasp and yelp like a bitch in the throes of heat.
"Yes..yes, my dear...let go of yourself...let me see.." Dmitri said in a deep, passionate voice. Nova, on the very brink anyway, could have hardly resisted. His body tightening, squeezing even more on Dmitris deliciously large, thick knot, he cried out, long ropes of his seed emerging from his hard shaft and covering his legs and stomach, soaking into the dress and running down his sides onto the surface of the roof.
Growling, pleased at bringing his girly conquest to climax, Dmitri gripped Novas waist hard, grunting as he thrusted deep into the husky. He couldn't resist a loud howl as his own seed flooded into the husky, each jet of liquid from the throbbing shaft causing Nova to quiver and moan. Panting heavily afterward, still tied, they passed the time gazing at one another, whispering their love and sharing a sweet blissful kiss as the moon passed overhead.
The following day found Nova back in his regular attire, doing his work as a stagehand. Everything was so similar, but so different now. So wonderful. He wondered if Dmitri had really meant what he said. Or if had been only a single, glorious night. He sighed. Trying to tell himself that it didn't matter. That he could be satisfied with the memory of last night, if it was all there was to be. Walking with a coil of rope to be put away, he crossed Dmitris office, the now intensely familiar and personal scent of him letting Nova know that he was in there. He stopped, hearing voices from within.
"You've done a magnificent job, Belinda. It's just that I've seen this girl, and I think she has remarkable talent. I think she'd be perfect for some of the younger roles. And we'd finally have two females to play parts instead having to try our best to pretty up poor Hans again and again....."
Nova smiled wide, his tail wagging as rushed by, nearly forgetting to put the rope away. Tossing it in the stack, he walked quickly around a corner and bumped right into Kurt, nearly falling backwards from his solid bulk. "Hey!" He shouted, "What do you think you're doing, bitch pup! Pay attention!" He growled and walked off, muttering. "Thinks he's about as high as those snooty actors do.."
Nova giggled hard, trying not to let Kurt hear as he got up and went about his days tasks, his tail wagging almost the whole time as he wondered what the future had in store for him.
