Chapter 9: If My Calculations Are Correct, When This Baby Hits 88 Miles Per Hour- You're Gonna See Some Serious Shit. -Dr. Emmett Brown
As Bryan walked across campus to Pride Hall, raindrops began to fall from the cloudy sky above him.
“Great. Just great." Bryan muttered under his breath. Could this day get any better? The rabbit thought bitterly to himself.
Bryan quickened his pace, his ears twitching with each cold drop that landed on his fur. While he was going to be out here attending this 'club' meeting, Jason was going to be doing gods knows what in their room with that, that… cheerleader.
“Skank," Bryan grumbled. He didn't mean it. Well, he kind of meant it.
The light drizzle soon turned into a more substantial downpour, matching Bryan's darkening mood as the rabbit pushed his way into Pride Hall.
The brick building was the oldest on campus. And while the main reception hall was large, with its marble floor and tall echoing ceilings, the hallways branching out deeper into the building looked fairly small and cramped. Bryan studied a conveniently placed room directory on the wall and then checked the time on his phone.
The rabbit briefly considered texting Jason. But Bryan stopped himself, what would be the purpose? What was he going to say? No, don't have sex with your girlfriend. Are you sure you're straight? What has she got that I don't? Bryan already knew the answers to those questions, and none of them made him feel any better.
“Bryan! You made it." Dreo called out as he stepped out of one of the hallways. His voice echoed loudly over the muffled sound of rain in the otherwise quiet room.
The sudden noise caused Bryan to flinch, and the rabbit nearly dropped his phone.
“I was just coming to check on you. Make sure you knew the bottom was about to fall out." Dreo said, either not noticing how startled Bryan had been, or ignoring it.
"Yeah," Bryan replied, glancing once more at his phone before reluctantly pocketing it. “Made it just in time."
“Great! Come on, come on. Everyone's already here." Dreo said as he waved Bryan over towards him. “You're gonna love them. This is going to be great!"
Bryan nodded and mustered his most convincing attempt at an enthusiastic smile. The rabbit trailed after the oncilla as Dreo led Bryan back down the narrow hallway. The small cat's excitement was palpable as they approached a worn wooden door. The oncilla's tail swished back and forth, nearly hitting Bryan with each energetic swing.
"Here we are!" Dreo announced, throwing open the door with a flourish. "Welcome to our base of operations!"
Bryan stepped into the room, his nose twitching as he took in the surroundings. The space was smaller than he had expected. Which, to be clear, he had not been expecting very much to begin with. The air was stale, carrying a faint musty odor that spoke of years of neglect. A cracked window on the far wall was haphazardly taped up, doing little to keep out the chill of the rainy evening. Only half the overhead lights seemed to be working, a few flickering on and off. Their fluorescent light casting odd shadows across the stained and aged linoleum floor.
"Isn't this great?" Dreo exclaimed, his arms spread wide as if presenting a grand ballroom rather than a cramped, dilapidated space.
Bryan's ears drooped slightly as he continued to force a smile. "It's... certainly something."
There were stacks of chairs against one wall, leaving barely enough room for a large table that was situated in the middle of the room. Around the table were three other people that Bryan had never seen before. Undeterred, or unaware of Bryan's less-than-enthusiastic response, Dreo began introducing the other club members.
"Everyone, this is Bryan! Bryan, meet the gang!"
A coyote lounging in the closest plastic chair looked up from her phone, her expression a perfect blend of boredom and disdain. The tips of her fur were dyed black with streaks of neon green, and she wore more eyeliner than Bryan thought possible. "Chase Ringwood," she drawled, not bothering to stand. "Thrilled."
Dreo chuckled nervously. "Chase is our resident cynic- and our Vice President. Don't let her attitude fool you; she's a softie deep down."
"Keep telling yourself that sunshine," Chase muttered, returning her attention to her phone.
Next to her sat a tall, lanky dalmatian, who quickly stood and bounded over. The dalmatian's tail was wagging so hard it seemed in danger of flying off.
"Oh, so you're Bryan!" he exclaimed, grabbing Bryan's paw and shaking it enthusiastically.
"I'm Toby, Toby Fleece, thespian, design major— fabulous fashion consultant." The dalmatian said, finishing with a wink.
Bryan found himself smiling genuinely for the first time since entering the room. Toby's energy was infectious, even if the whole situation was a bit overwhelming. "Nice to meet you, Toby. I, uh, like your... scarf?"
Toby beamed, adjusting the colorful piece of fabric around his neck. "Oh, this thing? Just a little something I whipped up for our first official meeting. I believe in making a good first impression, not that you could tell from this dump…" The dalmatian shifted his gaze over to Dreo and his expression immediately hardened with disapproval, “Dreo..."
The oncilla chucked awkwardly as he gently steered Bryan towards the final member of the group, an otter who sat hunched over a laptop. His or her, Bryan couldn't tell the otter's gender through the otter's neutral appearance and baggy clothes, whiskers twitched nervously as they glanced up at Bryan.
"And this is Nicola Rivercrest," Dreo said softly. "They're our tech wizard."
"H-hi," Nicola stammered, offering a small wave. "You can call me Nic. If you want. Or not. Whatever's cool."
Bryan nodded, feeling a pang of sympathy for the clearly anxious otter. "Nice to meet you, Nic. So you're— the tech…." Bryan glanced between Dreo, who was still beaming, and Nic," wizard?"
“Nope." Nic said with a flat expression, “I just own a laptop…"
"Alright, alright, save the tech talk for later you nerds," Dreo interrupted, clapping his paws together. "Now that we're all acquainted, let's get this meeting started!"
The oncilla walked to the front of the room and cleared his throat.
“Dreo," Chase said flatly as she looked up from her phone.
“Hmm?" Dreo replied as he turned on his heels to face the coyote.
“You need to let Bryan introduce himself," Chase said, her tone unchanged.
“Oh! Right, right right right. Sorry. Bryan, if you please." Dreo waved his paws and gestured toward the rabbit.
Every set of eyes turned and looked at Bryan as all the sound in the room stopped. Even the rain outside seemed to let up slightly, giving Bryan the floor. The rabbit suddenly felt nervous. He didn't know what to say to this group of eccentric strangers. Not wanting to stand there and say nothing, his brain reached deep and grabbed the first response prompt it could find.
“Erm, well hello- my name's Bryan - I like reading, long walks on the beach— oh, and by the way, I'm gay," Bryan said with a slight cringe as he glanced around the room at the others.
Dreo looked over at him with the same smile he had worn all evening, but the oncilla's eyebrows had traveled up impressively high on his forehead.
Toby laughed softly, trying to hide it behind a clenched paw in front of his muzzle.
Chase didn't look up from her phone, and Nic seemed to be smirking behind their laptop.
Bryan bounced once nervously on his balls of his feet as he fidgeted with his paws behind his back.
“Inspirational." Chase finally said, breaking the silence as she swiped something on her phone screen. The Coyote had the faintest of smirks forming on the corner of her mouth.
Toby let out the laugh he had been trying to hide, “Oh darling, of course you're gay! That's why you're here. Oh- I like you!"
Even Nic was nodding along. The otter pulled out the chair from between them and Toby and motioned Bryan over to it. Bryan chucked a bit at himself as Dreo patted him on the back.
“Fantastic! Now that we all know each other, we can get started!" Dreo said as he glanced back over at Chase.
The coyote simply gave the oncilla a thumbs up, still not bothering to look up.
Bryan went over and sat down in the surprisingly uncomforable plastic chair as Dreo launched into a spirited speech about the club's goals and plans. But even though Dreo was a very passionate presenter, Bryan found his attention wandering. He couldn't help but think about what was happening back in their dorm room. The image of Jason and Jessica together made his stomach churn.
"...and that's why we need to make our voices heard!" Dreo concluded, snapping Bryan back to the present. "Any questions?"
Chase raised her paw lazily. "Yeah, I've got one. How long do we have to sit here before we can call this a meeting and go back to our dorms?"
Dreo's smile faltered slightly. "Come on, Chase. Show a little enthusiasm! This is important work we're doing here."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Chase replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Let me try again. Wow, Dreo, I'm so excited to sit in this moldy closet while it storms outside and listen to you ramble about changing the world. Is that better?"
Toby tsked, shaking his head. "Now, now, darling. There's no need for such negativity. I, for one, think Dreo's ideas are simply marvelous. Why, just imagine the events we could host! A pride parade with costumes… Ah, it'd be wonderful."
As Toby launched into a detailed description of his vision for rainbow-themed outfits, Bryan leaned over to Nic.
"Is it always like this?" Bryan whispered.
Nic shrugged, a small smile playing at the corners of their mouth. "Has been since last week. You get used to it after a while. It's kind of like a dysfunctional family."
Bryan found himself relaxing slightly. Despite the less-than-ideal surroundings and the clash of personalities, there was something oddly comforting about the group. It was a far cry from the polished, put-together image he'd had of a college Pride club, but maybe that wasn't such a bad thing.
As the meeting continued, Bryan found himself drawn into the discussions. Chase's biting commentary, while initially off-putting, often cut to the heart of the issues they were discussing. Toby's enthusiasm, though sometimes over-the-top, brought a much needed energy to the room. And Nic, while often soft spoken, proved to have a wealth of knowledge regarding logistics and planning.
Dreo, for his part, managed to keep the meeting somewhat on track despite the constant interruptions and tangents. His overwhelming passion for the club was evident in his every word and gesture. Bryan couldn't help but admire the oncilla's determination, even if Dreo's methods were a bit unorthodox.
As the meeting drew to a close, Bryan realized with a start that he'd barely thought about Jason and Jessica for the past hour. The knot of anxiety in his chest had loosened somewhat, replaced by a tentative sense of belonging.
"So, Bryan," Dreo said as they were packing up, "what did you think? Excited for our next meeting?"
Bryan hesitated, looking around at the mismatched group. Chase was arguing with Toby about the practicality of glitter on protest signs, while Nic was quietly stowing away their laptop in a shoulder sling. It wasn't perfect, far from it. But maybe that was okay.
"Yeah," Bryan found himself saying, a small smile tugging at his lips. "I think I am."
As the group dispersed, each heading their own separate way, Bryan and Dreo walked out toward the main lobby together. The rain had picked up again, drumming steadily against the old building's roof and windows. Distant streaks of lightning briefly illuminated the sky outside. The two of them stopped by the building's front doors and peered out of the windows at the torrential downpour.
"So, still doing your library work?" Dreo said, trying to make conversation as he stood next to Bryan. The oncilla rocked back and forth on his heels with his paws in his pockets. "Tutoring right? Must be pretty interesting, getting to help all those… students."
Bryan shrugged, his mind already drifting back to thoughts of Jason. "It's not bad. Keeps me busy, you know?"
Dreo nodded, his tail swishing thoughtfully. "And... how's things with your roommate? Jason was it?"
Bryan tensed slightly but forced a casual smile. "Oh, fine. In fact- He's probably having a great time with his girlfriend--- right now, actually." Bryan said, his words coming out with a bit more venom than he had intended.
Dreo's expression softened, his eyes filled with understanding. "Oh, I'm sorry, Bryan. That must be tough."
Bryan's shoulders sagged, “I already told you it's not like that. It's—"
Before Bryan could continue, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen, surprised to see Jason's name.
"Speak of the devil," Bryan muttered, then answered with forced cheerfulness. "Hey Jason, calling to brag already? Gods- I hope Jessica's not still there!"
The rabbit spoke on the phone purposefully loud so that Dreo could hear. Bryan looked back over at the oncilla and pointed at his phone, mouthing the word 'Jason' at Dreo. Dreo gave Bryan a curious look.
There was a pause on the other end of the line. When Jason spoke, his voice was quiet and uncertain. "No, she... she left."
“Oh, Done already? Guess you two have been at it for a while." Bryan said as he rolled his eyes and made a chatting gesture with his other paw.
“No, well- Listen. We were going to, you know, but then she freaked out and took off."
Bryan's ears perked up in surprise as he glanced over at Dreo. The oncilla narrowed his eyes, trying to read the rabbit's expression.
Bryan quickly turned slightly away, "What? Why?" he asked, lowering his voice instinctively.
"It's... it's because... wolfsbane," Jason replied hesitantly.
Bryan furrowed his brow in confusion. He glanced back over at Dreo who had taken a few steps back and was looking up at the ceiling. Bryan continued in a hushed whisper. "Wolfsbane? What are you talking about?"
What Jason said next changed Bryan's life forever
"It's… Look, it's not important. Do you... do you want to come back to the room and maybe pick up where she left off?"
Bryan's heart skipped a beat as the world came crashing to a standstill around him.
“Bryan?" Jason asked hesitantly on the other end of the call.
Bryan's brain was short-circuiting.
“Bryan? Jason asked again before the wolf let out an audible huff," Never mind, forget I said anything."
"No!- no wait!" Bryan finally managed to sputter in a forced whisper. “Are you being serious right now?"
“I'm in our room. Come if you want." Was Jason's only response.
Bryan ended the call, his mind still reeling. He looked over at Dreo, who by now was doing an impressive job of pretending to be fascinated by a particularly old display cabinet.
"I... I have to go," Bryan stammered, already moving towards the door.
"Wait, don't you want an umbrella?" Dreo called after him, but Bryan was already running, the rain soaking through his clothes and fur.
The rabbit bounded across campus, his heart pounding in time with his footsteps. He burst into the dorm building and took the stairs two at a time until he reached their floor. Bryan paused outside their door. The rabbit was soaked and breathing heavily as he tried to catch his breath. Was this really happening? Or was he misreading the situation entirely? Had he misheard- was he imagining things? There was only one way to find out.
Bryan pushed open the door and found Jason sitting on his bed. The wolf's bare torso and legs were exposed. Besides a blanket draped across his lap, the wolf was completely naked. Jason looked up, surprise evident in his eyes as he took in Bryan's drenched appearance as the door closed behind him. Without a word, Bryan crossed the room and climbed onto Jason's lap. Water dripped from the rabbit's wet fur onto the bed as he straddled Jason's hips. Neither of them seemed to care as their eyes met for a brief, intense moment before their lips crashed together in a passionate kiss.
Flashes of lightning briefly lit up the room as each of their paws began desperately roaming the other's body. Their kiss, while passionate, was a bit awkward at first. The two tried to navigate the other's mouths, each trying to take the lead, their teeth occasionally clinking together. Jason's paws fumbled with the slick buttons of Bryan's shirt while Bryan rubbed his hips against the wolf's length underneath him.
“Ah-" Jason hissed uncomfortably," Pants…."
Byran paused," Oh, right- Here, let me."
With trembling paws, Bryan took over and worked on unbuttoning his shirt. Jason watched intently, his gaze fixed on each newly revealed area of fur. The rabbit's fingers faltered on the last two buttons, the fabric bunching up awkwardly because of how he was sitting. Not bothering to wait any longer, Jason reached forward and forcefully ripped open the rabbit's shirt the rest of the way open, growling in satisfaction as he did so.
“Hey!" Bryan said. This was one of the rabbit's favorite shirts and... a shuddering shiver raced through Bryan's body that shut out all other thoughts. Jason's tongue was running up his damp chest tasting the rabbit's skin. The wolf softly kissed one of the rabbit's nipples as Bryan moaned Jason's name. Then the wolf's nose traced a line up to his collarbone and then further up to his neck. Bryan gasped as he felt teeth nip beneath his jaw. Fuck those buttons - he'd get a new shirt if he had to.
Jason continued to kiss around on Bryan's shoulders and the rabbit felt like he was going to melt. This was everything he had ever wanted, everything he had ever dreamed of. Jason's paws traced their way back down to Bryan's hips, then went to the front of his pants, the wolf managing to unbutton Bryan's trousers without any issues.
As Jason stopped kissing Bryan's shoulders the rabbit sat on Jason's lap panting with his eyes closed. Even though Bryan was still soaked his body felt hot, flushed with desire. Bryan's eyes fluttered open and he looked at Jason. The wolf sat pinned in front of him. Jason was licking his lips as he gazed back into Bryan's eyes.
“Wha- Why? Why you stop?" Byran asked between breaths.
Jason smirked. “You're going to need to get up to take these off." The wolf said as he tugged lightly at Byran's pants.
“Oh- right," Bryan said, understanding dawning on his face.
Bryan scooted back off of Jason's hips and shimmied up off the bed. The rabbit hooked his paws into the side of his pants and boxers and then paused. He suddenly felt nervous and uncertain. This was it. This was his first time with someone else. How far were they going to go? Was he ready?
Bryan's body shook with nervous energy as he looked over at Jason. The wolf's eyes were locked onto Bryan's in an intense and hungry gaze. Bryan came to a decision and slowly pushed his pants and boxers down. The rabbit had to shift around a bit to get his legs out of the wet fabric. Then he stood back up, his paws trying but unsuccessfully covering his own raging erection.
Jason let out a rumbling growl as he pulled the blanket covering his lap away and tossed it aside, revealing the wolf's erect cock. Bryan's eyes widened as he took in the sight. In the flashes that briefly lit the room, Bryan could see how the wolf's erection throbbed. How its tip glistened as a drop of clear liquid beaded and then ran partially down the wolf's length.
How could anyone not think it was perfect? Bryan thought. The rabbit could not understand what had freaked Jessica out.
Noticing Bryan's hesitation, Jason shifted uncomfortably. "Is... is everything okay?"
Bryan looked up, realizing his silence might be misinterpreted. "Yeah, I just... you mentioned wolfsbane?"
"Oh," Jason said, his ears flattening slightly. "Yeah, you know- the knot."
Bryan's gaze returned to Jason's cock, focusing on the base above the wolf's sheath. Jason's knot was inflated, red and veiny, almost twice as thick as the rest of the wolf's already impressive size.
"Oh," Bryan whispered, his eyes widening with realization.
"Yeah," Jason responded, his voice tinged with resignation. "It puts a lot of people off."
Bryan's gaze roamed up the wolf's body and met Jason's, a smile spreading across the rabbit's face. "I think it's the sexiest thing I've ever seen."
Relief and desire flooded through Jason as the wolf sat up straighter on his bed.
“Come here Bunny Boy," Jason said in a low growl.
Bryan rushed back over to the bed and straddled the wolf's hips once again. Their mouths met in another kiss. This time, their movements were more synchronized. Bryan's paws brushed either side of the wolf's face before they ran up into his hair, while Jason grabbed a hold of the rabbit's sides and pulled him closer. Their tongues clashed between their mouths as Bryan ground his erection against Jason's length.
Their passion continued to build as their cocks rubbed against one another, drawing moans from both of them. Bryan felt so good, the sensations were overwhelming. Then the rabbit moaned as Jason brought his paw between them, encircling both their cocks in his grip. Bryan's body started to shake uncontrollably as the wolf began to stroke both their lengths with his paw. Bryan could feel the heat of Jason's shaft against his own. The thick precum that leaked from both their tips slickened Jason's grip, allowing the wolf to stroke faster. Each pulse of Jason's cock added just a bit more pressure.
Before Bryan could stop it, his muscles jerked taut and he let out a loud moan. As the rabbit arched his back, his cock erupted. Bryan came hard. The rabbit's release shot up Jason's chest and spilled out over the wolf's paw. Bryan continued to gasp and spasm as his cum coated Jason's shaft.
Jason's eyes widened in surprise, but a grin quickly replaced his shock. "Woah- That's hot," he growled.
Bryan panted as he stilled his quivering hips, the rabbit riding out the aftershocks of his orgasm. He felt dizzy, light headed. A mixture of intense pleasure and embarrassment colored his cheeks and ears. Bryan hadn't meant to finish so quickly, but the intensity of the moment had overwhelmed him.
Jason's paw began to move again and Bryan gasped, instinctively pulling his hips back and away. The rabbit was suddenly far too sensitive and his cock had softened slightly.
“No- Ah. Stop… Please." Bryan moaned as he grabbed onto Jason's shoulders to steady himself. “Too much - sensitive…"
Jason stopped and glanced back and forth between Bryan and his paw, uncertain of what to do next. Bryan could feel the wolf's cock throb, he could feel the way Jason's breath had sped up, the way the wolf's heart beat fast within his chest under the rabbit's paws.
For a brief moment, Bryan considered the impossible. Maybe he could try and take the wolf? Maybe Jason would fit? The little sense that remained in Bryan's lust filled brain quickly slapped that idea away. Jason's cock was the equivalent of the rabbit's Mount Everest, and Bryan wasn't even sure how well he could even climb a hill. Suddenly Bryan had another idea.
Bryan leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to Jason's lips. As he pulled away, Jason's tongue flicked over his own lips, savoring the lingering taste of the rabbit.
“Let me take care of you," Bryan said as he started to scoot backward.
Jason raised an eyebrow curiously as he let go of their cocks. The wolf let his paws fall to either side of his hips.
Bryan continued to push backward until he worked his way off of the bed and positioned himself between Jason's knees. Then Bryan leaned his face in close to the wolf's groin and nuzzled the wolf's balls. Jason flinched at the first touch but quickly relaxed and let out a low guttural moan of approval as Bryan's tongue began running up along his sheath. Up this close Bryan could feel the heat radiating from the wolf's cock against his cheek. Bryan breathed in the wolf's musky lavender tinted scent and shuddered. He could smell his own lewd scent, coating and mixing in with Jason's. As the rabbit ran his tongue further up Jason's length Bryan could taste his cum on Jason's cock and shivered.
Hearing Jason moan and gasp as he pleasured the wolf gave Bryan a sense of profound joy. But knowing that he had marked the wolf's cock with his own seed stoked something deeper inside of Bryan that he didn't even know was there. It was a primal urge to claim that every species shared. This was his now.
Bryan opened his mouth and tried to take as much of Jason's cock as he could.
“Ah - teeth" Jason gasped as his hips reflexively pulled back slightly.
Bryan pulled off and looked up shyly.
“Sorry," Bryan whispered.
Jason panted as he smiled down at Bryan. The wolf reached a paw out and ran it across the rabbit's cheek, Jason's thumb brushing over Bryan's lips.
“Try again…"
Bryan gulped and nodded as he looked down and did just that. This time he stretched his jaw wider and used his lips. If Jason's moans were any indication of how well Bryan was doing, then the rabbit thought he must have been doing a better job.
Bryan's mouth began to work in tandem with one of his paws as the rabbit bobbed his head up and down the length of Jason's cock. Bryan could feel the muscles of the wolf's thighs start to flex and relax. The wolf's gasps began to catch in his chest. Bryan knew Jason was getting close as the wolf began to flex his hips upward while moaning out Bryan's name.
Bryan's jaw ached and he gagged slightly every time he tried to push more of Jason's length deeper into his throat. Yet the rabbit persisted. Bryan wanted, needed to see this through. Every time Bryan heard his name come from Jason's lips he shuttered. Then it happened and that same small part inside of the rabbit claimed victory as the wolf's orgasm began tearing its way through Jason's body.
Jason cursed through clenched teeth as his cock pulsed inside of Bryan's mouth. The rabbit managed to swallow the first heavy spurt of cum as it shot into the back of his throat, but the torrent kept on coming. Bryan choked as the wolf's cum poured out around his lips, ran down the wolf's length, and flowed down over Bryan's paw. As Bryan pulled off of Jason's cock, the rabbit gasped for air. Bryan looked up at Jason but the wolf had his head thrown back and was panting heavily. Jason's body was trembling with aftershocks.
He'd done that, Bryan thought. He'd reduced Jason, to that state. Those thoughts alone caused Bryan's body to shiver with almost as much pleasure as his previous orgasm.
As Bryan continued to dreamily gaze up at Jason, the wolf looked back down at him.
“Fuck- that was intense"
Bryan nodded in agreement, uncertain of what else to say.
“Come here Bunny Boy," Jason said softly as he reached down and helped Bryan back up onto the bed.
Jason turned onto his side and stretched out, pulling Bryan into a gentle hug in front of him. Then Jason's head rested on top of the rabbits as the wolf's arms wrapped around Bryan's chest.
Bryan nestled into Jason's warm embrace utterly content. He could hear both their heartbeats. The rabbit's was faster, but as he continued to listen, Bryan's heart gradually slowed down, until his and Jason's began beating at the same pace.
Bryan squeezed Jason's arm, fighting desperately to fight off a wave of exhaustion that suddenly washed over him.
“Should we- should we talk about this?" Bryan whispered.
“Mmm– in the morning," Jason said as his embrace on the rabbit tightened and the world around them faded to black.
