A good deed is its own reward
#1 of Bakotana
Well, not actual ballbusting.
Thanks to Xioneer for the revision.
"Bakotana. Get down," a female voice called in the forest.
It belonged to a young adult leopard, standing at the side of the footpath. Her eyes were green amber. Her fur was deep gold, fading to cream on her chin neck and chest, with brownish black rosettes patterns decorating her whole body.
She was covered in a sleeveless white dress, with a wooden necklace around her neck, a pair of sandals around her feet, and a woven pot in her hands.
"Night will fall before we get back to the village."
"Don't worry. It'll only take a moment," answered a younger leopard boy, climbing among the branches of a tree.
"You'll fall."
"I'll be fine," Bakotana answered. Just like his sister, he was a green-eyed, golden and ebony-furred leopard. For his 14 years he was average in stature but kind of slender.
He had taken off his sandals to climb better, wearing only a white loincloth. In his left arm he was carrying a nest with two small semi-round eggs.
Bakotana was stretching in an attempt to reach a hole in the wood, where presumably the nest was before falling down.
In order to reach it, he put his left foot on an upper branch. He had his right hand leaning on the tree, while trying to put the nest in the hole with his left one.
Once he put the nest in place, Bakotana looked down. "See. Nothing happened," said the young adventurer, moving his left foot back on the branch where he was standing.
But almost like a cruel irony, an instant after saying those words, his right foot slipped from the branch. As a reflex action he used the claws in his hands and feet to hang on to the tree. His efforts were useless however, as he fell on the branch, one leg each side, landing on his own feline eggs.
Bakotana was quite aware of how painful could be a hit in that area. It wasn't strange to see two boys playing struggles, and spot how a little slap down there could put someone on his knees. And apparently that was a kind of pain one can't get used to. He has witnessed a few times how warrior trainees had to disrupt their sparring for a mistaken kick. But in any case, Bakotana had never experienced such pain in his very own meat.
For a second, everything went black and he felt nothing. "That's all?" he thought to himself. Then it started.
A sudden jolt of pain pierced his lower body, expanding through his abdomen and legs to his head and feet.
Unable to do anything else, Bakotana let out a tortured scream from the bottom of his lungs.
Tears started to roll from his eyes to his cheeks, moistening the fur on his face. He wasn't able to move; his whole body was numb. All Bakotana could do was stay there while his small, furred, cream-colored orbs were compressed between his own pelvic bone and the rough tree bark.
Bakotana tried to move his weight to the right and let himself fall from the tree. But a new jolt of pain, this time coming only from his right testicle, warned him to move back.
Bakotana was in a predicament. He wasn't able get up because the pain didn't let him move, but if he just stayed there, the pressure and ache on his feline eggs wouldn't stop. And he couldn't even let himself fall.
In a last desperate attempt to release some weight from his little male parts, Bakotana tried to rest some of his weight on his hands and feet claws, still clinging to the tree trunk. For his misfortune the weight was too much; his feet slipped, and he landed on his already battered young balls, triggering all the pain from just a few moments ago for a second time.
Too exhausted to scream out loud again, he only could let out a silent cry.
Luckily, a short time passed before Bakotana were released from his misery. In the distance he heard a female voice, everything turned black, and he fainted.
