A Chapter in Life Closed
#1 of Recovery
It was a cold night in the city streets as lonely panther made his way to the bar. He gripped his trench coat and hat tighter as the icy chill of the water continued to try and soak his fur impeded only by the polyester armor he wore. He slid through the door as he always did taking off his coat and hat placing them on the bar as he had done so many times before his usual seat always empty for him. His gleaming fur taunt to his body rustled as a chill went through him. He tapped his claw on the counter as he lit a cigarette and took a long drag. The bartender a fox walked over as he did every Wednesday and Thursday night shaking his head and sighed pouring him a glass of whisky. The panther reached for it only to have the bartenders paw slide over it holding it in place.
"Frank you really need to stop this, my brother wouldn't have wanted this," the fox said softly.
A cold stare looked out from the deep blue eyes at the glass before a sigh escaped the muzzle. "I am well aware of what your brother would have wanted John."
John took his paw off the drink and lifted Franks chin to look him in the eyes, "Jase loved you and we have always been close so don't tell me I only care because of him. He would want you to move on and you damn well know it. You have been coming in here the same two nights every week since it happened just as you did the first two nights after."
Frank took a deep drink and cut him off, "I know John he meant everything to me, I am sure he'd think I am a piece of shit for wasting away in a bar instead of replacing him like some old pair of pants, but guess what for all the talk it isn't that fucking simple," he took another drag from the cigarette before he continued, "I tried last week I went back out to the club and had a couple beers looking over the room, I saw someone we talked we danced and then he invited me over. When he did I felt myself saying yes even though this pain started in my chest. We walked out of the club and by the time we reached the car I couldn't move any longer I stopped, he didn't understand why until I looked at him even without seeing my own face I could tell I was looking at him like a scared child. Before I could tell him sorry, he walked up to me and kissed me on the cheek and said he understood I wasn't ready. He offered me a ride home but I just said sorry and walked to my car and drove home.
John looked him over. Frank had been such a strong man so loving and caring, he hated seeing him as a broken shell. It was killing him to serve him the drink every time he did but he couldn't deny him, he knew the second he did Frank would go somewhere else. He had always had feelings for Frank just as his brother had and they had all played in bed together several times but not since it happened. That night Frank had closed up locked himself in his apartment and fell off the face of the earth. He never talked to anyone about what happened, never opened up never went out or even smiled again. What a waste he thought he really needed to do something about it.
John served him another drink, "I understand Frank I really do."
Frank took another drink, "I know you do you loved him as much as I did."
John continued to serve Frank throughout the evening normally he would have stopped after a while and told him to go home but tonight was different. He needed to do something about this cycle. He drove Frank home that night so drunk he could barely get him in the car and back out again and slid him into the bed.
John went into the bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet looking through it. All of Jase's things were still there, Frank hadn't touched a thing. He took a shower using Jase's shampoo and then used the conditioner making sure to work it deep into his fur. He looked himself over in the mirror and a tear ran down his cheek he did look quite a bit like his brother and he missed him also but he had been able to coop with it to find peace eventually. He needed to help Frank do that he couldn't let Frank ruin his life like this.
John slid into the bed next to Frank and snuggled up to him. In his sleep Frank snuggled back sniffing at the soft fur and then hugging him tighter and crying softly as John cradled his head into his chest speaking softly to him.
"That's ok frank you just relax and cuddle remember your love, remember him and cry get it all out," he softly cuddled him as Frank slipped into deep slumber starting to softly purr.
Morning came slowly and Frank cuddled into Jase he loved that soft fur. His paw ran down the fox's side making him moan softly as he licked at Jase's neck purring softly. He smiled lightly rolling on top of him licking slowly up to the muzzle he found so cute. As he took him in a deep kiss he slowly opened his eyes and repelled in shock at seeing John under him. He slid out of the bed quickly sliding on a pair of pants and turning around looking at John who had a light frown seeing Franks anger.
Frank yelled at him, "what the fuck are you doing in my bed!"
John sighed, "trying to make you remember that Jase wanted you happy."
Frank growled loudly, "You son of a bitch how dare you, you come here you use his shampoo and slip into bed trying to pretend to be him, how dare you defile his memory."
John stood walking over to Frank and slapping him across the muzzle, "you fucking coward, don't you tell me about dishonoring his memory, you came here and shut yourself in. you won't talk to anyone you don't try to move on you just sit here sulking while everyone else mourned him and did what he would have wanted moved on."
Frank growled raising his paw and grabbing John by the shoulder, "how dare you I won't forget him, I won't go on like nothing happened and love someone else like he didn't matter," Frank raised his other paw ready to punch John, "I won't let you take him away from me."
John closed his eyes ready for the punch, "he's already gone Frank he is dead."
John waited for the punch but it didn't come. He felt the paw quiver before he opened his eyes to see the tears rolling down Frank's cheeks before the large panther dropped to his knees crying.
Frank curled into a ball crying, "damn it why! I loved him so much why did he have to die I can't live without him I can't forget him I won't let him down."
John dropped to the floor and cradled Frank, "Jesus Frank is that what you think, do you think if you move on and find someone to make you happy again he would be ashamed of you?"
Frank quivered slowly getting up and going over to his dresser he picked up a box and opened it handing it to John. Inside were a pair of rings each was gold with a silver emblem of a heart on it. Frank walked over to the bed and sat back down his head falling to a pillow as he sighed again.
"We were going to take vows. He told me how much I had meant to him and that in his heart he would never stray from me, he said that even death couldn't take the love he had for me away from him," Frank stared blankly at the ceiling, "I confessed my love for him that my heart would beat with thoughts of him till our very essence ceased to exist."
John walked over to the bed and lifted Frank into his arms, "I didn't know, I am so sorry but that is not what did this to you. In the hospital something happened before Jase died, something that made you catatonic for nearly a week what was it?"
Frank started crying again holding John to him as he poured his heart out, "Jase woke up about three minutes before he finally died, four days of waiting and he awoke right there in front of me, he looked at me and said I love you and goodbye, his grip on my paw tightened and then he flat lined looking straight at me his eyes dark and cold and I never got the chance to tell him I loved him."
John laid Frank back on the bed and smiled softly wiping his tears away then franks, "he knew Frank he knew more than anything that you loved him and he knew that you would never forget him but remembering you loved him and not moving on would make him sad, he would want you to remember you loved him not that you hurt without him."
John slid down Frank's body and rubbed his sheath softly with a paw as Frank quivered.
"What are you doing John?" he asked not sure about this.
"Just relax and close your eyes Frank you need this, we both need this," John said almost in a whisper.
John felt the stirring in Franks sheath and leaned down over him softly kissing him as he rubbed his sheath slowly against Franks. Frank at first somewhat resisted the kiss but soon wrapped his arms around John and started to softly kiss him back. They both moaned softly as their cocks rubbed against each other slowly growing firm. John looked into the sexy panther's eyes as he moved his hips forward and slid the hard feline cock under his tail he leaned back and with a deep breath very slowly slid the large cock deep into his tail hole letting the hot member stretch him open. They both moaned in unison Frank's eyes still closed as he slid his paws over John's chest and down a paw slowly almost shyly slid, wrapping around the fox cock making John gasp softly and squeeze the feline intruder in his rear. He placed his paws on Frank's chest and started to slowly rock his hips feeling Frank thrust softly under him. They made slow passionate love for an hour or so before Frank finally stopped him and brought John's muzzle to his for a long kiss. He then slowly slid John off him and onto all fours.
Frank slid behind him his body flowing over Johns back until he slid his cock back into him. John moaned loudly his cock leaking pre and his knot throbbing. Frank slid his muzzle up onto John's shoulder nuzzling into his neck as his paws roamed the fox's body one coming to rest on his chest and rubbing a nipple as the other slid to the fox cock stroking it firmly. Frank started to thrust harder and faster into John making them both moan loudly. With a firm squeeze to his knot John quivered and whined out cumming hard onto the bed his tail hole squeezing tight. Frank growled and thrust harder pulling John back as he moved to his knees and thrust deep into the fox finally letting out a roar as he came hard almost passing out. Frank fell to his side on the bed pulling John with him and holding him tightly as they both panted John shivered at the feeling of the hot cum in him and the pointed barbs holding him in place.
John turned his head to Frank to see him softly smiling at him, "thank you very much John, I don't know if I could have moved on without you."
John smiled curling up in the warm grip of his lover, "I know Frank and your welcome, I am happy to know you will be ok now."
It was a week later Frank walked into the nightclub he slid to the bar and got two beers. He walked around for a bit and then saw a lion sitting by himself finishing off a beer. He walked over to him and placed the beers on the table. The lion smiled standing up and walking around the table to put a paw on Frank's shoulder, "If you're still not ready for anything we could just sit and talk."
Frank pushed the lion against the wall and gave him a long passionate kiss his crotch pushed against the lions and his paws roaming through the thick mane. When he pulled back the lion gasped and shivered panting in a daze.
Frank smiled a paw running around to the lions rear, "no I am ready now and I think you deserve a lot of attention after our last encounter."
