#7 of First Steps 2: Happy Trails


Before I knew it, it's Tuesday. I woke up next to Wendell. I ruffle the fur on his head a bit. He's so cute when he's asleep. The way his paws sometimes twitch, the way he'll sometimes whine a little. He's so adorable.

"Hey," I whisper in his ear. It twitches. "Wake up sleepy head." Wendell slowly opens his eyes and looks at me. He groans a bit. I kiss him and I get out of bed. I remember that I slept shirtless. It's been a habit ever since the rainbow fur started to wear off. I open the dresser drawer and grab one of Wendell's shirts. Well, basically we share clothes. So technically, it's neither mine nor his shirt. It's ours.

"Hey foxy. What're you doing?" he asks.

"I have a job interview today. I have to be ready."

"Oh right. I remember that."

"Anything you are doing today?"

"Nope. I'm probably gonna have to find Jasmine or something. Angie said to hang out with other furs too."

"Is she still hiding in the woods?"

"Yep. Ever since her dad went mad and was sent off to a psych ward, she didn't want to be anywhere near her house."

"What about her mom?" I ask.

"Dead." Wendell says the word like it's nothing. But to me, it's a word that brings back terrible memories. Like Allan's death, and my near-death.

"Well, you think that's where she is?"

"Probably." Wendell's been friends with Jasmine since me and him ran into her at some shooting range. I have no problem with Wendell being friends with others. It's me being friends with others that could be a problem because he's sometimes... how do you put it?... Overprotective. Although, he's got no problem with Toby.

I get dressed. "You know, we've still got a little time before I have to head out." I say. It's 9 in the morning. I have three hours.

"Oh really?" Wendell takes the blanket off and stands up. He's shirtless. He has some of the same habits as me. Besides, it's nice to feel his soft fur while I'm sleeping. "Well, does a certain foxy want to play a bit?" He gently pokes me in the side. It tickles so I giggle.

"Maybe..." I wink at him. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me in and kisses me. Wendell paws crawl down my back. I find myself keeping my paws on his upper back. Eventually, his paws rest on my ass. I mur into the kiss when he does that.

"Wendell," I breath heavily. I'm too turn on. "You're seriously not considering having sex in the middle of Angie's apartment."

"I'm not going to. Mostly because the other are still here. But, when we get our own apartment, you can believe that I will have sex with you. Until then..." He resumes the kiss. Wendell picks me up and the next thing I know, I'm on the bed again with him laying on top of me. "You are such a beautiful fox." Smooch! "I still want to play with you."

"Me too." I say. Wendell gets on his knees in front of me. He reaches for my pants and unzips it. "What're you doing?"

"Shhh." he soothes me with a whisper, "Just stay quiet and we'll be ok." He pulls my pants and briefs down. My d*ck is already out of its sheath and hard as hell. Before I can say anything, he starts taking it into his muzzle. Holy shit! I lay down and cringe a bit as he starts to suck on me. I do my best to keep from moaning. I can't help it. I grab one of the pillows and let out a small moan.

Wendell massages my balls with his paw and sucks harder. I clench and unclench my fists trying to fight against the moan that threatens to release from my muzzle.

I start to feel my climax building. He's not stopping. Is he really gonna have me blow a load into him? But, I have to admit that nine months without any sexual activity can make a wolf very horny. The scent of my musk starts to fill the air. I wonder how Angie will react.

I starts to leak pre into his muzzle. We all know what happens next. But, I can't do anything to stop it. I've reached the point of no return. I think I've read that phrase somewhere. I now know what it means. After another minute, I blow a load into Wendell's muzzle. He swallows all of it. I no longer have the urge to moan. He takes my c*ck out of his muzzle.

"Wow," he breathes heavily, "That was great."

"Really?" I ask. "It's been awhile since we've done that. I almost forgot how nice it felt."

"Well, I still mast*rbate in the shower sometimes."

"Is that why the bathroom stinks when you're done?"

"Yep. But let's face it, I know you love that scent." he says teasingly.

"Sometimes. I do enjoy the smell of you." I tease him back.

"I knew it. Think, once we get the apartment next door, we'll have our own place to do whatever we want, whenever we want."

"That sounds nice."

I'm still a bit horny after Wendell blew me. But I can't think about that right now. I have a job interview that I have right now. I took a shower after our little session to get rid of any stench left on me. I changed into a plain white T-shirt and jean shorts. I left Wendell to explain the smell to Angie and Janelle.

I walk to Home Depot, where I want the job. It's not that far away from the apartment. I'm meeting with the manager himself. Mr. Livingston. Never met him in person, yet.

I walk inside the store, nervous as hell. I have no idea what he looks like. All I know is that he's expecting me. Some people stare at me as I walk past. I thought everyone forgot about Tennessee.

"Todd McCarthy." I turn around and see a Collie with a broad chest staring back at me. I look at his name tag. Quarter Livingston; Manager.

"Hi." I shyly say and we shake paws.

"Shall we head to my office?"

"Sure." We walk down an aisle towards the back of the store. Eventually we go through a door labeled "Manager's Office". I'm still scared as we walk into the room. It's a pretty small room. But, then again, he probably doesn't need that much room. There's only desk and a chair in here. I sit down in front of his desk and Quarter sits behind his desk.

"Quarter?" I ask without intending to. Damn it! Why can't I control my curiosity?

"Yeah?"

"Where'd the name come from?"

"Funny story. The hospital I was born at was a quarter of a mile away from my house at the time. It was just something on my mom's mind at that moment."

"Ok." Shut up, Todd! This is not something you want to ask someone who could hire you! The collie looks down on my hands.

"What's with the ring?" he asks.

"I'm engaged." I simply say.

"Really? To who?"

"Wendell of course. I thought the whole city knew about us."

"They do. I know I do."

"How old are you?" Why won't the questions stop?

"I thought I was here to ask you the questions. Not the other way around."

"Sorry. It's just... you look a lot young to be active manager. In fact, you look almost my age."

"Well..." he scratches the back of his head. "You're not wrong there. I'm 18." Woah! Only 18!

"But-" I start out.

"How? You ask?" he speaks my unspoken question. "Long story. My father originally owned the place. I used to help him out a bit with his job. When he was diagnosed with brain cancer about two years ago, he started to show me more of the ropes. Eventually I knew all the ins and outs of his job. When he passed, I took ownership."

"Wow. That's awesome."

"What about you?"

"What do you mean?"

"What's your story? I've read the news but, I don't know if it's true. Newspapers these days sometimes lie. Just to let the public hear what they want to hear."

"My story? What's there to tell?"

"What happened in Tennessee that made you want to come here?"

"Um... my parents kicked me out after they caught me and Wendell sneaking out." I lie, "Wendell's parents kicked them out after they found out he was gay. His cousin Angie lives here. She offered to share her apartment with us if we made it here. So, we packed our stuff and we moved here."

"Wow. That's crazy. It must be hard being you, Todd. Seeing the things you've seen. Facing the stuff you've faced." Quarter says.

"Well, that's why we're here. To start a new life. That's one of the reasons I want this job. To start something new. Besides, me and Wendell agreed that we'd both get jobs so we can pay for our own place."

"Really? Well, that all depends on how this goes." he says.

"I'm ready." I say.

"Ok. Well, first off, what made you want to work here? Other than the reason you gave?" Because I need the money.

"Because I've always wanted to work in a place like this. And this seemed like a good start."

"Well, I don't blame you. Usually teenagers your age work at fast food first. But it's not always pleasant. As for here, I think it's a good start."

"Thanks."

"Besides, it's not like I'm going to give you something hard to do on your first day or something. You can pretty much consider me a friend, Todd."

"Why's that?" I ask. He waits a moment.

"Because I'm still a teen just like you. I know what it's like to be you. I've tried to run away from a problem before. I've stared death in the face before."

"Really?" He nods.

I walk down the street. It's in the afternoon and it's starting to get hot as hell. It might as well be 100 degrees fahrenheit. I open the metal gate that surrounds the apartment building, then walk up the stairs on the right. I walk up to Angie's apartment and knock on the door. Jani opens it with a smile on her face.

"What're you so happy about?" I ask.

"Because. We've got a surprise for you." she says.

"We?" She moves out from the doorframe and Wendell, Angie, and Bruno are sitting on the stools looking at me.

"What's going on?" I ask. Wendell stands up and walks in front of me. He can't stop smiling.

"How'd it go?" he asks.

"I got the job." I say, "I start Sunday."

"Perfect." He hugs me tight.

"Congrats, Todd." Angie says.

"Yeah, great job man!" Bruno says.

"That's not all." Wendell says, "This is your other surprise." He reaches into his pocket and takes out a key and hands it to me.

"What's this?" I ask.

"The key to our new apartment." I widen my eyes. Is he serious? But, how?

"Wendell, this is amazing. How'd you do it?"

"I talked to the landlord while you were gone. Now that we both have jobs, we can afford our own place. It's official. The apartment next door is now ours!"

"Oh my god! That's awesome!" I say and jump into my fiancé's arms. We kiss and hug him tight. I feel so excited that we have our own place. "When do we move in?"

"We start moving our stuff in in a few hours."

"I love you."

"I love you too, foxy." We kiss again.

"Awwwww." Angie, Bruno, and Jani say in unison.

"They just ruined the moment." Wendell says.

"Who cares?" I say and kiss him again.
