“Mm...this movie kinda sucks, doesn't it?"

“I wasn't gonna say anything, I didn't want to offend you...but yeah, it does. Do you wanna turn it off?"

“Nah, might as well see the rest of it by now. Besides, getting up now would mean getting out of your arms, and I don't really want that."

“Heh, all right." Aiden's arms squeezed around him, rubbing his sides a bit. “I don't really want to move, either."

Zach chuckled quietly, relaxing a bit further into the Gabite's arms. It really wasn't a very good movie...he hadn't had very high expectations, it was an old, low-budget horror movie that didn't have good reviews at all. The only reason they were watching it was that it was starring a relative of Zach's that he'd just learned about. It was definitely clear that he wasn't a good actor, and he really shouldn't have been in the movie at all...Zach didn't really care to watch the rest of it, but getting up now would mean unwrapping himself from the comfort of his Gabite boyfriend, and that just wouldn't do.

Zach and Aiden had been going out for four months now, and it was clear to both of them that this was something that could last a very long time. The two of them had a lot of overlap in interests and got along better with each other than just about anyone else they knew. They spent a lot of time each weekend together, as well as the occasional low-key weeknight, playing games and watching movies, sometimes going out to eat or go for a walk, occasionally getting out to more exotic locations. Not that far out of their previous routines, but even the familiar felt better when they were together.

And the sex was pretty good, too...when it happened. The first meeting leading to their first sexual encounter was quite an experience for both of them, but it had set them with expectations. When they'd gotten together the next weekend, they'd both kind of figured that it was supposed to happen, and tried to get it going...they hadn't even gotten beyond the petting phase before it was clear that neither of them were into it. That had resulted in a couple of days of awkwardness and uncertainty before they'd finally sat down and talked about it. It wasn't a lack of attraction, just no real drive that time, and as they talked they both came to understand that this wasn't likely to change. So they had come to an understanding - no forcing it, they'd just do it if they felt like it.

Without the pressure, things felt even better. They'd had sex five or six times, but it was never an expectation, and no longer forced. It made everything feel better, and neither Zach nor Aiden regretted it for a moment. They spent plenty of time cuddling, holding each other, just making all sorts of physical contact that wasn't sexual, and much of the time that was all either of them really needed.

Not everyone seemed to understand that, he got some strange looks from friends he talked to about it, they seemed to think that sex was something that SHOULD happen a lot, and that their lack meant something bad. At least at first...but as the relationship kept going strong, they seemed to come around. For the most part, anyway...Zach's roommate, Wallace, didn't seem to think much of that, and a couple of Aiden's friends seemed a bit put out by it as well. But he didn't really care that much, Wally was the way he was but it didn't matter. He was happy and Aiden was happy, and that was all that mattered. It wasn't like they were going to do anything to disturb that.

---

I've GOT to do something about that stupid Gabite.

The gym was the place for Wally to destress. A good workout usually got him relieved of all the burdens of life without fail. But lately he'd had a stress that wasn't so easily worked out.

It didn't make sense to him. Zach was supposed to open up after getting fucked by Aiden. Hell, that was so unlike him in the first place, it was supposed to lead to him getting a lot bolder and more adventurous, and more willing to party and go out with Wally to the clubs and such. Clearly, he had to know that the clubs were a good thing now, he couldn't say that he didn't get anything out of them. He'd been trying for months to get Zach to be more like that, and this should have been the moment...but it wasn't, Zach was hanging out with him less than ever, using Aiden as an excuse not to go clubbing and such, and he wasn't that much different from before.

It pissed him off, and he blamed Aiden. The Gabite clearly wasn't right for Zach, he just helped enable those avoidant, stick-in-the-mud behaviors that were just wrong. He was undoing all the hard work Wally had done to get Zach to come out of his shell, and Wally wasn't going to stand for that...except, it was hard to figure out a way to fix the problem. Zach was incredibly resistant to any argument Wally made, and it didn't help that his other friends were starting to warm up to his side. He was rapidly finding himself on his own, and not even the gym was helping relieve him of that burden.

If only I had some way in...maybe it would be better to target Aiden, there might be more avenues for getting him away from Zach. But I don't know enough about him, he's probably not going to listen to me all that much. If I knew someone to help…

As he entered the locker room and headed to his locker, he almost bumped into an Emboar, who gave him a growl and a surly look at the close call. He resisted the urge to run his mouth; the guy was significantly bigger than he was, and he didn't want to risk a fight. Most people wouldn't do something like that, but the gym was a place of heavy testosterone, not everyone was so controlled.

Yet...he couldn't help but feel like he'd seen the guy before. He didn't know a lot of morphs, so that was an odd thing to feel...maybe he'd met him at a club or something? Or knew him through someone else…

Or...wait...wasn't he one of those guys who hung around with Aiden?

He didn't really know Aiden's friends all that much...like Zach, he got the feeling that Aiden didn't go out with them a lot. But he'd met some of them here and there, on the rare occasion that they'd gotten the two to do something actually fun. The more he thought about it, the more he was sure he remembered an Emboar being among them...if this was him, it might be the solution to his problem.

Wally decided he'd take the chance of a faux pas and approached the Emboar. “Hey...are you one of Aiden's friends?"

The Emboar turned to look at him, immediately glowering. “Who're you? Are you that fucking human Aiden's obsessed with?" Well, so much for faux pas, seemed that the Emboar also had 'they all look alike to me' syndrome as well. Still, that was confirmation enough.

“No...I'm the roommate of that fucking human. You...don't really like him, do you?"

“No, I don't. He's all wrong for Aiden...he doesn't spend nearly as much time with us anymore, and he's always got some excuse for not hanging out with us. The sooner he's gone, the better...then we can get Aiden back with us again." He stepped towards Wally threateningly. “And if you're gonna try to stop us, don't think I'll hesitate to pound you into the ground."

“Easy there, bacon-boy. I'm on your side. Look, I don't have a problem with your boy, but he's just not right for Zach. Zach needs to get out more, break out of his shell, and Aiden's keeping that from happening. All I want is to get them apart so I can get Zach back on track."

The Emboar paused, and then backed up again, seeming to defuse a bit. “...Sounds like what I'm trying to do with Aiden...okay, then, I guess you're not part of the problem. Maybe you can be part of the solution." He held out his hand, and Wally took it after a moment. “My name's Kieran. I'm not getting a lot of help from anyone else on this, but maybe the two of us together can do something."

“Yeah, I think we've got a good chance of fixing this whole thing. You had any flashes of inspiration? I know talking to them's right out, they don't ever seem to listen."

“Jeez, Aiden's like a brick wall sometimes. I can yell at him all day and he barely even notices. It's like he doesn't understand what he's missing out on. I just don't get it, what do they see in each other? How can someone like being a stick in the mud? And how can they like being with someone who's the same way? It's just so boring, what a miserable life. They don't go out and do anything really fun."

“I don't get it either," Wally agreed. “They don't seem like they're boyfriends even. You know they've only had sex like five times?"

Kieran's eyes widened. “You're shitting me."

“Total truth. I can always tell when they do, he won't tell me about it anymore but he always acts a little differently the day after. But it's like, he says that they're not always interested, so they don't always do it."

“That's fucking crazy! They've been together four months, how can they not have humped like thirty times already at least? Okay, now we really gotta split them up, they're doing themselves a disservice by sticking with guys they aren't really attracted to. I'm not really sure what to do, though, unless Aiden's interested in something he's so tough to get through to."

“Hm...well, maybe he can tune out words, but it's harder to ignore other people being there. I think I've got an idea…"

---

“Hey, Zach. Meet Joseph."

That was the first thing Zach heard as he walked in the door late on a Saturday afternoon after a long day of work. Wallace was right by the door, with a new face as far as Zach was concerned. Joseph looked like one of Wally's typical friends, having a bit of a wild look about him, a couple piercings in his ears, tight clothes that tried to show off his slender body, a bit of a hollow look in his face that suggested that he hadn't slept much due to being out partying all night.

“Um...hi, I guess. You two have plans or something?"

“Well, you and he do."

A beat, with him wondering if he'd misheard. “Huh?"

“Yeah, you're going out on a date!"

Zach shot a confused look between the two. Joseph was certainly checking him out, so it didn't seem like Wally was joking...but he certainly wasn't interested in something like this. “When did this happen? I wasn't informed."

“Well, I thought I'd surprise you. Since you seem to be getting more open and stuff, I wanted to give you a nice bit of help! I figured you two could go out, hit the clubs, party hard, maybe come back and get frisky...you know, that sorta thing!"

“Yeah, it sounds like you're a pretty cool guy, I'd love to get to know you more," Joseph chimed in, a bit of a suave tone to his voice like he thought he knew exactly what to say to get someone into him. “Wally's said a lot of good things about you, I'm looking forward to seeing them all for myself."

“Riiight...look, I'm sorry, but I already have plans tonight. And I'm sure you're a great guy, Joseph, but I've already got a boyfriend. You'd probably be happier with someone less like me and more like Wally anyway."

“Now, hang on a second!" Wally jumped in. “Aiden's barely a boyfriend, and besides, you should try branching out a bit! Who's to say that he's the right one for you? If you gave someone else a try you'd probably find they were better than that lame-o. Come on, I'm trying to help you get laid here!"

“You want to help, Wally?" There was a sudden edge to Zach's voice that startled Wally, he hadn't heard that out of him in a long time. “Here's how you can help: mind your own business. I'm perfectly happy with Aiden, and I don't need you to be getting on my ass about him just because you don't like him for whatever reason. I don't need or want anything else from you. Let me live my own life, and stop trying to set me up with people. That's it."

Zach stomped off back to his room, leaving Wally dumbfounded. He hadn't expected to be shot down like that...he'd figured enough pressure and Zach would agree even if it was just to get him off his case, and then Joseph would do the rest of the work. This wasn't even close to where he was trying to go…

“Dude...you told me he wasn't attached." Joseph's accusing tone cut into his thoughts.

“It's nothing...some stupid fling with a guy who's not right for him. They're better off apart, but he just doesn't get that."

“That's...okay, no, just...I don't know what the deal is between you two, but leave me out of it. I'm not gonna get into that kinda mess again, I've already caused one break-up, and that was bad enough."

“Oh, fine. Jeez, not like you got hurt or anything…" Wally just turned away grumbling as Joseph left the apartment. That hadn't worked as well as he'd hoped...maybe Joseph wasn't the right choice for this, perhaps he'd have to re-think his approach.

---

Almost at the same time Zach was dealing with Wally and Joseph, Aiden was opening the door to an unexpected buzz. “Kieran? What's up? You usually call before coming around...and who's this?"

Kieran was grinning brightly at the Gabite, and standing next to a rough-looking Fraxure who Aiden hadn't ever seen before. “Hey, buddy! Sorry for the lack of contact, but I wanted to surprise you! This is Ragger, he's a buddy I met recently, and he's been looking for someone to have a good time with! I figured, since you need to have a good time as well, you two would be a perfect fit!"

“A perfect fit? Really? I...er, no offense, Ragger, but I don't even know you."

“Well, that's what a date's for, ain't it?" Ragger replied with a snicker. “I know some good clubs that you've probably never been to, they're a wild time, I'm sure you'll get a kick out of them."

Aiden looked suspiciously at Kieran. “Did you tell him anything about me? Like, say, that I don't like clubs, maybe?"

“Ah, come on, you know what a club means, don't you? A chance to meet new people, lose yourself, have fun, and maybe get some action at the end! I know you know the feeling!"

“I do, and the feeling I get at clubs is one I just don't like."

“Come on, don't be a grump. You met that twerp Zach at a club, didn't you?"

“Yeah, and we both didn't want to be there. That's what led to us leaving and actually finding something we wanted." Aiden shook his head. “Look, Ragger, I'm sorry, but I'm not really into clubs or anything. And besides that, I kind of already had plans for tonight, I'm having a date with my boyfriend-"

“Oh, not that lame excuse again!" Kieran growled in exasperation. “Always gotta find a way to be stuck inside again, don't you? Come on, man, live a little! Ragger's gonna show you what a good time should be like!"

“Yeah, and hey, if you want the boy toy to come along, I won't say no to that, either," Ragger chimed in.

“Thanks for the offer, but I'm gonna pass. And Kieran…" Aiden's gaze hardened a bit at the grumbling Emboar. “Please don't try to ambush me with dates again. It's not fair to them when you know I'm going to say no. And please stop trying to interfere with my love life, I'm getting a bit tired of it. I've got a date to get ready for, so kindly let me be. It was nice meeting you, Ragger."

With that, Aiden shut the door in their faces. Kieran was a bit put out, he'd expected reluctance but Aiden was usually pretty accommodating, he'd thought he'd at least get him to give Ragger a chance. “Well, that was awfully jerkish! I apologize, Ragger, I thought he'd be a bit nicer than that, I don't know what's gotten into him lately…"

Ragger just shrugged. “Eh, what's done is done. Too bad, he's cute, but I know better than to force it. Maybe if things don't work out I'll give it another shot."

“Wait, what? No, you should take what you want to go for now! I mean, really, he's not THAT attached, this stupid thing he says he has is just...one of those things that's got no future, you know?"

“Well, if that's the case, then I'll have my chance later on. Don't sweat it, man, there's other options. C'mon, we can still have a good time ourselves."

Kieran grit his teeth as Ragger turned and walked away, completely unconcerned. He wasn't supposed to be so passive...Kieran thought he'd be perfect for forcing the issue, and Ragger had let him down on that front. And now Aiden was irked at him...he'd have to figure out a better way of broaching the issue next time.

---

“Well, that didn't work."

“Not even close."

The meeting a few days later at the gym was a fair bit less optimistic than the previous one. The failure of the plan had been a bit worse than just the lack of progress, they'd gotten some testy reactions from Zach and Aiden as a result as well, setting back their cause. Frustration was the mood all around, especially since the conclusion they'd had to accept was that the plan just wasn't going to work at this point.

“We can't split them up if they're pissed at us for being close by," Wally griped. “I should've guessed it wouldn't be that simple. They don't like anyone who's really right for them, they just don't see it."

“I guess we came on too strong," Kieran agreed. “But I don't think we were too far off...the best way for us to get them apart is for them to get interested in someone else. We just need it to be less...forced, I guess. They have to be interested, to be looking and engaging."

“How do we manage that? I mean, setting them up didn't work…"

“Well, if we're not directly involved, I think it'll be easier. Maybe get someone flirting with one of them...hey, I know. We'll set it up like this…"

---

Aiden was looking around nervously as they entered the Italian restaurant for their date the next weekend. “You sure about this place? I'm not totally sure about Wally's tastes…"

Zach shrugged. “Well, I checked it out online and it seemed decent enough. Besides, Wally was trying to apologize for what he did last week...I guess he knew how bothered I was by his actions and wanted to do something to make up for his behavior. We'll see how it goes, but it's worth trying new places every now and then."

“Yeah, you're right. Hopefully it'll hit the spot."

A waiter came up to greet them. “Hi there! Table for two? Hm, actually, I think a table for ten is more appropriate." He gave Zach a wink, and Zach gave him a polite smile in return; he wasn't quite sure what the waiter was talking about but it was definitely some kind of joke or something. Still, it was nice to have a cheery server.

“Yeah, it's just us."

“All right, then, come with me, I'll get you situated!" He escorted the two of them to a table, and ushered them into their seats. There weren't many people in the restaurant, but they were still seated near a Luxio, who seemed to be looking over at them with interest.

“You know him at all?" Zach whispered.

“Nope. Maybe he thinks he knows me." Aiden opened up the menu, looking over it for a moment. “Well, they've got some dishes that look pretty interesting...prices aren't too bad either. I guess we can give Wally a point for this one."

“Yeah, and the waiter's got a good attitude. Seems like we'll have good service."

Almost on cue, the waiter came with water and silverware for them. “And a good hello to you! My name's Davis, and I'll be your waiter today. If you have any complaints, compliments, or phone numbers to give me, I'll be the one you give them to! Can I start you off with any drinks or appetizers? I really recommend the caprese salad, it's a delicious treat for delicious people!"

Zach took a glance at the menu; the suggested dish looked interesting but a bit pricy. “I'll have a glass of sangria. The caprese sounds good but I think I'll pass this time…"

“Same for me," Aiden said with a nod.

“Ah, well, maybe next time! Though maybe it's a bit early for that, but a guy can dream, can't he?" He gave another wink to Zach. “I'll be right back with those drinks!"

“Couldn't upsell you, eh?" Aiden remarked as they were left alone again. “I thought you might bite, it looked like the kind of thing you'd enjoy."

“It did look good, but it cost a bit more than I was ready to pay today. Eh, maybe next time, if things are good enough for a next time."

“Well, the staff's friendly at least. You don't usually get that at crappy places."

Zach grinned a bit. “That's not always true. There was this one time I went with my family to this really fancy place, part of a wedding reception...the servers were just god-awful, they really didn't care and they got orders wrong all over the place, and then got really snippy when we complained. And then they bitched about not being tipped...like, really?"

“Yikes. I haven't had that happen to me before...I mean, I guess I don't really go to expensive places, but usually I can tell how good a place will be by how good the service is."

“You're a six-foot-six shark dragon. You might not hurt a fly, but it looks like you could level a building in one tantrum. Anyone who cares is gonna be nice to you."

“Really? I didn't think of that…"

The conversation continued apace from there, with the two discussing their respective experiences at various restaurants and fast food places, identifying their favorites and some locations that they wouldn't return to at gunpoint. It quickly became clear that rude service was a lot more common for Zach than Aiden; the former had had some really abysmal times at places where Aiden hadn't encountered a single problem. It made the Gabite a bit insecure, feeling like he might be coming off as threatening or unpleasant when he never intended to, but Zach was quick to reassure him that his behavior was completely polite, it was just how some people were.

As they talked, Aiden was catching sight of the Luxio at the nearby table looking over at them...and at him specifically. Feelings of self-consciousness welled up at it - was he doing something to bother the Luxio? Was there something about him drawing attention he didn't want? But he kept them down, trying not to let it show to Zach. Being with him was helping, giving him something else to focus on...as long as nothing more serious happened, he'd be fine.

Eventually the waiter returned, and with a surprise. After their drinks, he set down another dish, one that looked like the caprese they had been talking about earlier. Zach was a bit perplexed at this, wondering if Davis had somehow misheard them earlier. “Oh, uh, I didn't order this-"

“It's on the house! I heard you were interested, and I wanted to make sure you got a chance to try it out! Once you've had it you'll definitely want to come back, and I sure want to see you again!"

“Huh...uh, thanks. I hope this won't get you in trouble, but, yeah, I really do appreciate it!"

“It's no trouble at all! I'll be back with your meals soon, enjoy that in the meantime!" Davis winked at Zach yet again, and Aiden was starting to wonder about his behavior; that certainly couldn't have been all right, and there was an awful lot of attention towards his boyfriend. But unless Zach mentioned something, he decided not to say anything about it; no sense in making him feel awkward.

The two dug into the dish together, and quickly the reviews were in. “Wow, this is better than I thought! I'm not usually a salad guy." Aiden was finding it hard not to chow down far faster than Zach. “I guess because it's mostly tomato, it's pretty tasty, all that leafy stuff is usually pretty bleah."

“It's a taste that took me a long time to acquire. But yeah, I like this. I'd order it again...well, actually order it, anyway." Zach was quick to take another bite, feeling the hunger really creep in now. “But yeah, best way to get used to it is to have a lot of other tastes in there, tomatoes and cheese and dressings really help."

“I'll have to try that. I'm supposed to get more of that kinda stuff in my body, I know, but it's hard when your mouth tells you that you're doing something wrong."

“Yeah, no kidding. Ah, hang on, I'll be right back...gotta hit the restroom. Don't finish it all off before I get back!"

Aiden cracked a shy grin. “I'll be the picture of restraint, I promise."

As Zach vacated the table, the Luxio stood up and walked over; it was timed almost perfectly, as if he'd been waiting for that very moment. He grinned widely at Aiden, who did his best not to look unnerved at the sudden approach. “Hey there...name's Val, you?"

“Er, Aiden. I, uh, saw you looking at us earlier, is something wrong?"

“No no, not at all. I just found myself really liking looking at you. You're a handsome guy."

“...Thanks?" That was definitely not what he had been expecting...but why was it that the compliment made him feel awkward rather than happy?

Val didn't seem to notice, as he leaned in a bit and grinned wider. “Guess you don't hear that often enough, but you now I could say it a lot. Perhaps you'd like to hear more?"

“Ah, I...I'm not really in the time or place for that...er, what's this all about? It's kind of odd to just go up to someone like that in this kind of place, isn't it?"

“Oh, I guess it's not the usual place you go to pick someone up, but you just seem like an interesting guy. I kinda was hoping to have a chance to chat with you, you know...get to know you a little bit better, in a lot of ways."

“Really? Um...well, I, uh...I appreciate that, but...I'm kinda occupied right now, I'm here on a date wth my boyfriend. Sorry, I'm sure you're a nice guy and all but I kinda have trouble keeping up with more than one social thing at a time."

Val looked disappointed, but shrugged his shoulders. “I suppose that's fair. Still, offer's open if you feel like taking it at some point." He gave a bit of a forced grin to Aiden and retired to his table, just in time for Zach to return.

The human seemed to notice the uncertainty on Aiden's face right away. “Something wrong?"

“Ah, it's nothing, really. I'm good. So, uh, you decided on your order yet?"

“Er, yeah, I think so...you sure you're okay? You looked a little…"

“Yeah, I'm good. Glad you're here, though...I don't eat out much, it feels weird to do it alone. I enjoy it a lot more when I'm with someone, especially if you're that someone."

Zach turned a bit red, but started grinning pretty widely. “Hah, thanks...you know, I kinda think that's why I don't do it much, either. Maybe we'll really get to know the restaurants around here by sticking together like this."

“Yeah, I'd like that…"

---

“You're kidding me! You...you got nothing out of him?"

“I swear to you, I flirted as blatantly as I could! He didn't even seem to notice it, I've never had someone be so blind to it before, it was ridiculous. Everything I did was useless...I don't know what more I could've done short of telling him I wanted him to take me right then and there. Honestly, if I was really trying to get in his pants I would've been offended."

“Jeez...well, thanks for trying anyway, Davis."

“No problem. Sorry I couldn't give you more bang for your buck. I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but it sure seemed like he was damn into that Gabite buddy of his. If you're trying to set him up with someone else you've got a challenge in front of you."

“Yeah, tell me something I don't know. But I don't blame you. Talk to you later." Wally was trying not to curse out loud as he hung up the phone. The whole point was to get Zach interested in someone else, but how could they do that if he wasn't responding at all? He'd bribed Davis a hundred bucks to flirt as shamelessly as he could, and it hadn't been money well spent. True, he couldn't blame his friend for a lack of effort, when Davis agreed to something you knew you got his best...still, that was a hundred bucks he was out with nothing to show for it.

Heading back into the locker room, he could see Kieran grumbling, his flames unusually harsh; that wasn't a good sign either. He'd gotten to know the Emboar pretty well in the last few weeks, they'd met often at the gym to discuss their issues and it seemed that they had a lot in common outside of them. He still wondered how Aiden had managed to make a friend out of someone like that...at least Zach had the excuse of being Wally's roommate, circumstance forced them together and neither one of them wanted to struggle to get along. “Do I want to know why you're in a bad mood, or you think I can guess?"

“You can probably guess." Kieran looked over at him. “I just talked to Valentino, and he had absolutely nothing. He said that Aiden didn't even give him a chance to flirt with him really…he just kinda pushed him away and went back to Zach every time. It didn't sound like your guy was having any better luck, either."

“No, he didn't...dammit, I know Zach isn't the most social guy, but he has to know what flirting is...he's not that dense! What's it gotta take to get him to pick up on something so obvious?"

Smoke billowed from Kieran's nose as he sighed deeply, folding his arms. “Not sure...but I don't think they knew anything was up, though...if they had, they would've chewed us out about it, wouldn't they? It has to be that they were just completely unaware of it, means we could try again."

Wally shook his head. “No, I don't think it makes sense to do that, and I don't know anyone else I could reasonably get to flirt with them without it being obvious. Dammit, I think I know what went wrong...they were together, of course they'd pay more attention to each other. Zach would've definitely noticed if he hadn't been with Aiden…"

“And Aiden probably wouldn't have brushed Valentino off so quickly either. Shit, how did we not think of that?"

“It's hard to try to think like them. Keeping all these things in mind is just a pain...if only they were more like normal people. That's something else we need to work on, getting them to react to flirting properly. No one likes being blown off like that."

“Well, for now we're just going to have to play to them until we can teach them." Kieran bowed his head. “I think it's time to play hardball. Flirting isn't gonna do it, so we have to go right out and seduce them in the clearest way possible. No guy can turn down a straight-up sexual proposition by a sexy guy, especially when they aren't getting any. That's our angle."

“Yeah, but who're we gonna get to do that? I don't even know who Zach finds sexy, he's too private about that kinda stuff."

“Well...hm…" Kieran quieted for a moment. “Maybe...we've been going about this wrong. Zach's dating Aiden...so maybe he's only into morphs, and Aiden's only into humans. That might be why they haven't picked up on anything yet...we're not giving them something they really have a desire for."

“Huh...I can't believe I didn't think of that. So...if I go for Aiden and you go for Zach…"

“Yeah, maybe that's what we need to do. I don't wanna piss off another friend, so let's just do it ourselves. If we can get them to fuck us, then you know we can push them away from each other and back in the right direction. We come on strong, they'll be putty in our hands. After all, who could resist sexy guys like us?"

The two exchanged a grin and a high five. Finally, the kind of plan that was right up their alley. There was no way it wouldn't work.

---

Aiden's mind was swarmed with confusion as he climbed the steps to Zach and Wally's apartment. He never got calls from his boyfriend's roommate, much less asking him to come over at Zach's behest...Zach didn't delegate that to anyone else. But that was what had happened earlier, and he'd been too out of sorts to say no...at the very least, part of him wanted to see what was up, in case something was wrong. Maybe he worried a bit too much, but he was closer to Zach than he'd ever been to anyone else, it was hard not to worry so much about someone he desperately didn't want to lose.

His knock on the door didn't get answered for longer than usual; when it finally did, it wasn't Zach but Wally who answered. He was wearing tight clothes, the kind he usually wore when clubbing, and Aiden wondered if he was already planning to hit the town...kind of early for that, though.

“Ah, hi Aiden! Sorry, Zach had to run out for an errand. He'll be back in a bit...why don't you come in and relax?"

"Ah...well, I...don't know…" The Gabite scratched his head nervously. “I don't really want to stick around if Zach's not here-"

“Oh, it's no big deal. I want to talk with you anyway, to get to know you a bit better."

“O...kay? I guess…" Aiden shrugged and stepped inside the apartment, looking around nervously. He'd been in here several times, but never when Zach wasn't there...it was odd how strange that felt. He wasn't totally sure about Wally's intentions, either, he knew that the human didn't like him very much...though he wasn't sure why, he'd never said anything to him that he'd thought offensive or unpleasant.

He ended up taking a seat on the couch, cooling his heels and trying to sort out his mind. Not that he got much chance to...Wally was there soon after, settling in next to him, a bit closer than Aiden was entirely comfortable with. “Ah...nothing like a bit of relaxation, eh? Loosening up, feeling nice and free...something you could use, don't you think?"

“Uh...well, I...I find my own things relaxing." He didn't want to be offensive, but if there was any way Wally wasn't talking about clubbing, he'd eat his sandbag. “I guess I'm just different in that way."

“Ah, I suppose that works sometimes, but it's just so...tight, restrictive. You don't ever have that sense of needing to just cut loose and let it all hang out? That's what life's all about, you know…"

“That's one perspective. I know a couple people who feel the same way...not everyone, though."

“Hm, true, not everyone, but I think a lot of people would be a lot happier if they did." Wally scooted closer to Aiden, almost touching him, making the Gabite lean away slightly. “I'd be interested in seeing how you cut loose and cut a rug on the dance floor, you know? Never seen you do that, I'll bet you'd clear the floor."

“Y-yeah...because they'd be running in terror from my flailing tail. Look, I'm just not a big fan of that scene, not everyone is...I don't know why some people insist on forcing me through it. I'd rather you didn't."

“Ah, they just want you to have fun. I know the type, not feeling like you could or should, but deep down you really want to...you just don't think you'd ever enjoy it. But once you get over that, man, it feels fantastic. It's a rush unlike any other."

Aiden shook his head. “Tried it. Didn't like it. I get a lot more out of being with Zach in the evenings."

“Oh, come on...what's he got that the rest of us don't? I could probably show you a better time than he could."

“Wh...why would you want to? I thought you weren't all that fond of me...you never seemed happy that I was around, or with Zach. I mean, you even tried to set him up…"

Wally grinned; he was sure he had his prey in his trap now. “Oh, I don't know...maybe I'm just a bit jealous. After all, he gets you all to himself, no chance for anyone else. What if maybe I wanted a taste of Gabite?"

Aiden did an immediate double-take. “Wh-what?"

“Oh, you heard me…" Wally leaned in towards Aiden, putting a hand on his thigh suggestively. “I've had my eyes on you...you're pretty good-looking, and I've been in a bit of a dry spell...I'd love to get a bit of you in me, and I bet you'd love to get some action too, seeing as Zach leaves you high and dry all the time...maybe you'll find that I'm a better choice than he is…"

Aiden was frozen for a moment. What...this can't be real...he...he can't be…

“Come on...who would blame you? I'll bet Zach's prancing around himself, you know he's not really that into you...most likely getting something on the side, then coming back to give you some lame excuse about how he's too tired...probably just wearing himself out on other guys." Wally leaned in even closer, trying to get up towards where he thought the Gabite's ears were. “Don't you think you deserve better than that? I can give it to you..."

“Please don't touch me." The sudden frost in Aiden's voice startled Wally, and now it was his turn to freeze...at least for a moment, until Aiden shoved him away, glaring at him. “I don't...I don't know what your problem is, but you need to stop. Zach cares about me, and I care about him. You don't seem to get that...or you do and it bothers you for whatever, whatever stupid reason, I don't know. But you think I'm gonna just...you know, buy into obvious lies like that? Zach barely feels comfortable with small talk, he's no seducer...and our sex life is fine, why do you act like we need to be...to be...going at it like…"

“Oh, come on, you two barely even touch each other! You can't tell me you're just fine with that, I know you have needs-"

“We touch each other plenty! Just because it's not sex all the time...and his touch feels good. Yours, not even close." Aiden stood up and turned on his heel, heading for the door. “You're the one who has problems, not us. I don't know what you thought you were gonna do with this stunt...well, no, I don't care. Just leave me alone, and stop bothering Zach."

The Gabite exited, slamming the door harder than Wally expected him to. With an angry yell he punched the couch, more pissed at the outright rejection than the failure of the plan. How could Aiden say no like that? He was ten times sexier than Zach was for sure, even if Zach actually practiced and learned how to be that way he'd probably still have him beat. There was no way he had anything Wally didn't have more of...but he was the one being left out in the cold. And there was no way Aiden wasn't going to tell Zach...unless Kieran was having better luck than he was. For his own sake, he hoped so...

---

Kieran's plot involved a lot less subterfuge and a lot more stalking. He'd been watching the apartment all day, and when Zach finally left to go to a coffee shop and do some work, he followed behind at a distance, trying not to be too obvious about what he was doing. He wasn't great about it, sometimes being a bit too quick to reveal his hand, but his fortune was good - Zach was, as usual, wrapped up in his thoughts and hardly paying attention to most things around him, and the Emboar's pursuit went utterly undetected by him.

His favorite coffee shop was about half a mile from his apartment, and provided a nice atmosphere for him to do his work. He'd had several different jobs since graduating college, and was currently involved in freelance design and web development. He wasn't fond of what he was doing - freelance work was rough, there were a lot of assholes out there who loved to try to weasel their way out of paying him what he was due - but it was a lot nicer than most of the other jobs he'd had, at least he could work for himself. His hope was to get an in-house job somewhere that wasn't too bad, but he needed more of a body of work for that, and as long as it paid the bills, he wasn't going to complain.

Working on his computer, he tended to get engrossed in what he was doing; one of the things he liked about this coffee shop was that it was fairly quiet, easy to keep his focus. He worked best when he got absorbed into his work, getting into a groove and gathering momentum...so it was a shock to him when he was suddenly interrupted by a thump on the table, shaking his computer and drink. His head jerked up, eyes widening at the Emboar sitting across from him, giving him a grin that made him feel a bit uncomfortable. “Hey there...Zach, was it? Fancy seeing you here, what're the odds?"

“Um...uh...y-yeah...who are...who are you?"

“Oh, c'mon, you don't recognize me? Kieran...Aiden's friend?"

“Oh…" Zach didn't really know many of Aiden's friends that well, there were one or two he'd seen more often but more of them he'd only encountered in larger group settings. Now that he mentioned it, though, he did remember Kieran a little, though he'd never gotten the impression that the Emboar was all that fond of him. “Er...hi, then. Sorry, I'm kinda...my mind's a bit weird right now…"

“Ah, don't worry about it. I have that effect on people. So, what're you working on?"

“Just...work stuff. Freelancer business. I, uh, usually come here to work, not to talk."

Kieran got that hint loud and clear, but he wasn't about to let his quarry get away that easily. “Yeah, I get that, but I don't see you that much, and I'd kinda like to know you a bit better. You can set that aside for a little bit, can't you?"

“I...uh, I'm on a deadline…" Zach swallowed, it was kind of a thin excuse, his 'deadline' was very soft. And he didn't want to appear rude, he knew sometimes he came off that way… “I guess...for a little bit. Not too long."

“Good, good! Glad to hear it!" He seemed almost too eager, which had Zach wary. Something about this whole thing felt off to him. “I was worried I'd never get my chance, you always seem to be off doing your own thing. I never get to see you drop your guard and enjoy yourself!"

“You, uh, must mean the club scene. Y-yeah, sorry about that, I just...I don't really enjoy it. Those places make me really stressed out and uncomfortable. I mean, I'm glad you like them, it's just, you know...it's not for me."

“Ah, that's what a lot of people say. Heck, I used to be like you, I didn't think I'd enjoy something like that, but once you get into it, you realize what you're missing out on!" Zach suspected this to be an outright lie, but didn't call Kieran on it - a lucky thing for the Emboar, who knew he'd dodged a bullet. “Maybe you had a bad experience before, but you find the right venue and you'll see! Or maybe we need to get you hammered first…"

“Ugh, no thanks...I was drunk once, it felt miserable."

“Buzzed, then. Something not so extreme if you can't hold it. Heh, I kinda figured you'd be a lightweight...well, that's how it goes sometimes!"

“Right...uh, if you say so…" Zach replied doubtfully. He didn't think anything would make him enjoy that scene, but hoped that not outright disagreeing wouldn't get Kieran to push the issue further. He was feeling more and more bothered by Kieran, and wanted to get back to work...rudeness was sounding more and more like a good idea.

Kieran could sense the tension, too, and knew he had to strike quickly. “Well, in the meantime, perhaps I could show you a different kind of good time...maybe take you back to my place for some smoked sausage…"

Zach's eyes widened, and his heartbeat suddenly picked up to twice its previous rate. He suddenly closed his laptop, face going a bit red. “That's...that's out of bounds. You know...I'm Aiden's boyfriend, he wouldn't want…"

“Now, why would he give a flying fuck? Heard he barely gives you any attention at all...probably doesn't appreciate you like he should, or just wants to tease you or make you work for it. But I wouldn't do that, you'll get all the attention you could ever want from me. I'd go hard at you, make you scream out as you took my heat, give you pleasure like you've never felt before...and you'll forget all about Aiden and his stick-in-the-mud ass."

“How can you...this is your friend we're talking about…"

“Well, he could use a nice wake-up call...thinks he can just do nothing and still have a partner, it's stupid. If he wants something, he needs to go live life...and you could use the help, too, I can show you a world that'll make you never wanna sit inside on a Saturday night again."

Zach shook his head rapidly. “I think...I need to go now. I'm not...I'm not interested in you...or your...ideas. I just...I'd like to leave now."

He put his hand out to push himself up from his seat, and yelped a moment later when a big, fiery hand slammed down on his. He looked up at the Emboar's blazing eyes, aggressive and powerful, his face no longer grinning but looking at him with a feral hunger. “Maybe I don't want to take no for an answer. I wanna rut you hard...if I have to carry you back to my place tied up in a ball, then maybe I will."

Zach swallowed, staring into those glittering eyes...he was frightened, at first. Kieran was far bigger than he was, he could easily do what he threatened to do, and there wouldn't be much Zach could do about it...but then, the absurdity of the situation broke through, and his fear evaporated. To both his and Kieran's surprise, he started laughing.

Now it was the Emboar who looked startled. “What? What's so funny?"

“It's...ah, I don't really know...maybe the fact you threatened to violate me when about ten people were watching."

The color drained a bit from Kieran's flames as he suddenly became aware of his surroundings. There were other people there, and they were looking… “Wh...it...it wasn't...I mean...I just thought you might...dig the...the style, you know…" Suddenly Kieran was the one out of sorts. How did that happen? Only too late did he notice that his grip had loosened, and before he could fix it Zach pulled his hand away and got a few feet from him. He wasn't looking afraid anymore, though still very much on edge.

“You're not actually as scary when I know you're not gonna pull anything. Whatever your idea was, it was pretty bad." Zach rubbed his wrist, which felt a bit sore after the impact. “Was it Wally who put you up to this? Because he doesn't like Aiden for whatever reason? I just...ugh, he ticks me off sometimes. Look, I don't care what he thinks, or what you think, or what anyone thinks really. I like Aiden...he makes me feel comfortable, happy. You sure as heck don't...I don't know what you were thinking, but it didn't work."

“You can't...come on! You don't really…" Anger surged into Kieran's eyes, his hands balling into fists. “You two...together...are the worst couple ever! You don't do anything fun! I'm trying to help Aiden here, you're just some fucking stick-in-the-mud who'll never make it so he starts being a fun guy! And you don't even screw! How can you say you're into him?!"

“So you're not about Wally...well, whatever. Why do you care so much how often we have sex? It doesn't matter to us...I'd think, you know, that we'd be the ones who should care, since it affects us. And why don't you stop trying to change him? We don't like what you like...we don't get into to stuff you do and trying to drag us along all the time isn't going to make us like it more. If you don't stop this crap, you're going to lose him as a friend...if you ever really WERE his friend in the first place."

“What? How...dare you say…"

“I dare. His other friends are cool with it...they aren't trying to ruin a good thing for selfish reasons. If you can't do that, then...well, I don't know. But I won't just take it. And Aiden won't, either. He...well, it's not right for me to say anything for him. I'll make sure he talks to you." He sighed and turned towards the door. “I'm going. If I see you following me I'm calling 911. So don't."

Kieran watched him leave, in disbelief at the sudden surge of resistance. It had been a long time since he'd failed to intimidate a smaller human...he certainly hadn't expected it out of a quiet guy like Zach. On top of that, he felt a bit of pride injury from the wholesale rejection...true, it had just been to break him up with Aiden, but it would've been nice for Zach to actually want him in that way. With a glare at the other patrons, he shuffled out of the coffee shop, trying not to look too unhappy and hoping that Wally had managed to meet with more success.

---

Zach gave Aiden a call just a couple minutes after he left the café, and the moment Aiden picked up the phone he knew the Gabite was out of sorts as well. So he knew he had to go to Aiden's place and talk things out with him, figure out what was up and what they could do about it. He didn't think he'd ever walked so fast anywhere in his life...something just told him he needed to get there as soon as he could, he just felt it.

When Aiden opened the door, he could tell that he was unhappy about something. “Aiden? What's wrong?"

“It's...well, come in. It's complicated...but it has to do with your roommate. And the fact that you said one of my friends ran into you...you just sounded like it wasn't a good meeting…"

“It wasn't, not even close. But it sounds like we both have stories to tell...they might be related."

“Oh, boy, I sure hope not…"

But as they each talked about their experience that day, it quickly became apparent that they were. The fact that they had both been approached by one of the other's friends with essentially the same intention was too big a coincidence to ignore, especially considering that said friends had already been pestering them in other ways. And the more they talked, the easier it was to add everything up. The date ambush, the restaurant, the incidents that day, they weren't unrelated.

“They have to be working together. There's just no question." Zach sighed and leaned back onto the beanbag cushion, feeling a bit weary. “Unbelievable...I knew Wally was unhappy but I didn't think he'd pull this kind of stunt. I swear, if he told Kieran to...you know…"

“I don't think he had to, Kieran's just kinda like that," Aiden said. “He's aggressive...I don't think he'd really have raped you, I think he just thinks that doing it that way is, well, attractive. He's gotten plenty of brush-offs for it before, but it works just often enough that he doesn't learn."

“Lovely. He sounds like a prince."

“Yeah, he doesn't have the best reputation. This is just so wrong…why does he care so much?"

“Well...he said that he was trying to help you, that I was boring...I think they think being my boyfriend will make you not spend time clubbing with them or doing the other shit that they like. Like you'd do it even if we weren't dating. I'd bet Wally's doing it for the same reason, he's been getting more and more annoyed that I keep going out with you rather than spending time with him. It's like they think that everyone has to live like they do or there's something wrong with them."

“Yeah...they don't seem to get that I don't like that kind of stuff, no matter how much I tell them. And I think Wally was saying that we don't have sex often enough...like, why does that matter to him? We do it enough for each other, right? Isn't that what's important?"

“Yeah, exactly. Why are they taking our relationship and making it all about them? I just don't get it."

Aiden shrugged. “I don't really get it either. But we'll have to talk with them and make sure they know they can't keep bothering us like this. If they can't respect that, well, I'm going to pick you over them."

“Same. Though it's gonna be tougher for me, since I have to live with Wally...it's not easy to find a roommate, so I want to avoid pissing him off too much. But he has to know that he crossed a line there. Hopefully we can put this to rest."

“Yeah...hey, Zach? You're, um...you're good with how things are, right?"

“Yeah, of course. Why?"

“Well, I...I mean...nothing…"

“No, it's fine, go ahead."

“No, it's stupid."

Zach chuckled. “Everything's been stupid today, so don't worry about it. What's up? I'm curious."

“It's...don't be mad, please...I just...was wondering if you were...um...tempted at all."

“Tempted...you mean by Kieran? Nah, not even a bit. I've got you, that's all that I really care about. Besides, he's totally not my type anyway."

Aiden flushed a bit. “Y-yeah, I get that for sure...but I mean...you know...um...physically."

“Oh...well, no, not that either. Were you...worried that you weren't doing enough for me?"

“I guess...you know, I mean, I...I haven't really been in a real relationship before...I don't know if I might be doing something wrong, or it's supposed to be different...I mean, I'm totally attracted to you, and I know I wasn't to Wally, it was like...just the way he touched me felt wrong. But...maybe I should be more sexual? I wouldn't...be mad if you found someone else sexy…"

“Well, I mean...I could find someone sexy, I guess, we...I mean, we both look at porn and stuff, so yeah, it'd be weird if we didn't. But, I guess I really don't feel comfortable enough with anyone else to, well, let myself be aroused...if that makes any sense. You're the first person I've ever really felt physical want for in person...I guess if I saw a picture of Kieran, I might like it, but I couldn't feel comfortable with him. But with you, a picture wouldn't be as good as the real thing. So I guess...I don't know if that's a good answer-"

Suddenly Aiden jumped onto Zach's beanbag, wrapping his arms around him and holding him tight. Zach was startled for a moment, but soon returned the gesture. The spontaneous moment was something new...but he didn't mind it so much, especially since Aiden's embrace felt really good. “Heh...I guess it was a good enough answer, then."

“More than...now I know why it's been so weird for me, too. It's the same thing...I never really realized it." Aiden nuzzled him, his slightly rough skin scratching soothingly against Zach's cheek. “I've been so messed up on that for so long...thank you so much, Zach."

“Eh heh...you're welcome, I don't think I did that much, though…"

The two of them held each other tight, just rocking on the bag for a couple of minutes. Soon enough, though, the physical closeness brought on another response. It had been a while since their last romp, but now they were feeling the urge more strongly than ever. Eventually it got to be strong enough that Aiden broke the embrace, lifting himself off of Zach and looking down at the human with a sensual gaze. “Do I need to ask this time?"

“I think we both know the answer."

“You want to head to the bedroom?"

“Actually...can we do it on the sand here?"

Aiden's eyes widened. “Are you sure? That sounds like it might not be as, um, comfortable for you…"

“I'd like to try it. I think it might not be so bad…"

“Well, okay. If you want it that way, we can do it." Aiden climbed off of Zach, and the two wrestled off their clothes at breakneck pace. Neither of them felt inclined to take it slow or tease the other, they'd gotten a lot more comfortable with each other's bodies after that first time. Once fully undressed, Zach rolled off of the sandbag onto the floor, putting himself on all fours in the sand with his legs spread for Aiden. The surface was uneven, rougher than the matted bed even if they were both sand-based, but it didn't feel that bad...still, Zach wouldn't know if it would be fine all the way through. He was interested to find out, though.

Aiden leaned down over him, lining up with Zach's waiting ass. “Just let me know if you think we need to move, okay? It won't be a problem for me if you do…"

“I will. Go ahead."

With a nod, the Gabite mounted up and pushed in, his spikes flexing as they slipped into his lover's ass, sparks of pleasure shooting down each one. The first time he'd taken Zach, he'd gone very slow to make sure the human could handle him; by this time, he was giving Zach his whole dick a lot more quickly, entering steadily and not backing out or slowing down until his slit was pressed in between those cheeks. He was never one to be so rough as to ram in right off the bat, but there was a lot less worry about Zach's capability now, and it felt better to do it that way. As long as Zach was find with it, and he never seemed to complain.

And there was no chance he would. To Zach, the sensation of being stretched out all over again was extremely pleasurable, the friction from the grainy fluids on Aiden's dick and the rubbing of the spikes was better with the added speed than with the original slow pace that they'd taken things. There was no question he was able to handle it, and it felt like Aiden had found just the perfect rate of entry into him to make it feel fantastic without overdoing it. His moans and groans come out quite strongly up to the hilting of his Pokémorph lover inside him. “God, Aiden...that's so good…"

“You said it…" Aiden started pulling out and thrusting back in, taking on a steady pace, being just slightly ginger to make sure Zach wasn't bothered by the sand. Every insertion shifted Zach slightly in the soft surface, back and forth or pushing down a bit, applying some friction to his hands and knees, but it wasn't nearly enough to make Zach feel uncomfortable. Both of them were letting out soft cries, almost matching in tone as the pleasure rushed through both of them, getting faster and higher over time.

“Ah...Aiden, you can...go harder!" Zach managed to gasp out. They usually reserved harder for round two, but he was too in the zone to want to wait for it this time.

“Okay!" Aiden wrapped an arm around Zach and ramped it up, not giving the sand another thought as he dug in and started pounding Zach in earnest. Zach's cries got louder and higher as he felt the euphoric burn in his ass get fiercer, and he started pushing back into Aiden more energetically, shifting in the sand of his own volition, the friction on his hands and knees barely noticeable under the continual pleasure from the Gabite's fucking. His own cock was dripping pre into the sand, tingling wonderfully as he was screwed, with added jumps with each smack of that thick shaft against his prostate. He felt amazingly close, ready to blow whenever Aiden did, just waiting for that rough hand to come at him again…

Aiden was almost on the verge himself, the rapid uptick bringing him closer faster than usual. He always felt like he hit his crest too quickly, but it was hard to help, Zach's ass just felt so good...he'd gotten a bit better at lasting longer, but the heightened pace was something new, something that spurred his pleasure on much more quickly than usual. His breathing was getting much faster and harder, his chest heaving in and out against Zach's back, rubbing his rough hide into the human's skin for an added bonus pleasure. As he felt himself reach the point of no return, he tried moving his arm down to help out Zach, make sure he wasn't left behind…

But it turned out to be unexpectedly unnecessary. With a slightly startled cry, Zach clenched down on the dragon, his cock issuing forth rapid bolts of seed, getting just what it needed from the anal treatment alone. The waves of pleasure crashed over Zach, and he rocked back and forth as he kept a tight grip on Aiden's dick, intent on bringing the Gabite with him. And it didn't take long to do so, Aiden letting out his own cry as he started pumping Zach full of his gritty cum, providing him with the familiar flood in his bowels that he'd come to know so well and love so much. It always impressed him how much the Gabite had to give, it left him feeling the presence of it inside him, something which was oddly comforting, like a lingering bit of Aiden staying with him.

The two were in virtual sync in their pleasures, grinding against each other, getting as close and tight as they could as they reveled in the ecstasy. Even their shots felt like they lined up, each pulse inside Zach seeming almost to trigger his own, though his load tapered off much faster...still, the feeling of it in his cock continued until Aiden ran out as well. Eventually, the high came to an end, both of them returning from cloud nine to the sandy ground, panting hard and feeling immensely satisfied...yet still in the mood for more.

Aiden pulled himself out of Zach, letting some of his seed sputter out of the human's hole and get caught up in the sandy floor. “I'll have to wash that up later...so worth it. You okay?"

“Yeah, I'm fine." Zach got to his feet, a little wobbly but not too bad. The romp on the sand had been pretty fun, he could see a bit of redness on his hands and knees and it felt a little hot from the friction, but nothing that was enough to interfere with the pleasure. It actually might've helped a bit...Zach was finding he really liked the friction feel, which was a good thing considering Aiden had that in spades. “I don't wanna leave it there...you up for more?"

“Yeah, definitely. You have something in mind?"

“I was thinking we head to the shower, wash up a bit while we, uh, blow each other."

Aiden looked at him a bit uncertainly. “You sure? I remember you saying you weren't fond of the taste…"

“Yeah, I wasn't, but...I want to try it again. I think maybe I can get used to it...and I'd like to with you. And then maybe afterwards we can go to your bed and you can get...really rough."

“Really rough? You mean more than we just did?”

“Yeah, I...I wanna know what it feels like when you don’t hold back at all. You’ve gone hard before, but I know you’re always keeping yourself in check…”

“I...I guess I could. Are you sure?"

Zach nodded, blushing a bit. “Yeah, I don't know if I'll like it but I want to know what it's like. I just...I don't feel this way with anyone else...it's like you get me more excited, more...energized, when you go hard in me...I want to hold on to that for a bit."

The Gabite nodded as well. “Yeah, okay...if you want me to, I'll do it, yeah. You know you can always tell me if it's too much, right? I'll stop right away, I don't care if I'm right on the edge or anything."

“I know you will...thanks, Aiden."

“What the hell is wrong with you?"

Wally didn't get to the gym until late that day, and hadn't expected to run into Kieran as a result. But it turned out the Emboar was there just as late, and they ran into each other while in the shower after their respective workouts. After the shower, they had discussed their respective failures to seduce their targets...but when Wally had heard about the way Kieran had gone about it, he wasn't happy.

“What's the big deal?" Kieran grumbled, folding his arms and glowering at Wally. Angry or not, the human was hardly intimidating to him, being significantly shorter and wearing nothing but a towel. Not that Kieran was wearing anything more, but he had the body advantage. “You told me to try to get him to cheat on Aiden, I was just trying to do that."

“I told you to try to get him to have sex with you, that didn't mean force him! He was supposed to want it, you idiot! You weren't supposed to rape him!"

“I wasn't gonna rape him! What do you take me for? I'm a manly man, I get it by impressing them and making them want it! You have a problem with that, that's your problem, not mine!"

“And you thought that would work? Seriously? Zach's just like Aiden, would you have tried that on him?"

“I don't see your tactic having any better luck! Acting like a saucy little slut sure got Aiden lusting after you, huh?"

“That's not the point! You came on way too strong, and now my roommate probably thinks I tried to force you on him! And hell if they're broken up, they're probably more in each other's arms than ever! Maybe if you could've backed off and acted sane-"

Kieran turned and slammed Wally against the lockers, cutting him off mid-sentence. “You weren't any help at all, you little runt. So stop acting like I'm the one who messed things up. I do things how I want to do them...you got a problem with that?"

The two stared each other down for several seconds, not saying a word but refusing to break eye contact. Finally, Wally broke the silence. “Are you as turned on as I am right now?"

In response, Kieran grabbed Wally's towel and yanked it off his body, revealing the human's throbbing erection. His own towel was just as quickly discarded, and his enormous, spiraling member popped up into view, issuing steam into the air between them. “Even more."

Wally let out a grunt as he was lifted even higher, and that hot rod pushed its way between his legs and against his ass. The Emboar's sheer power and size meant he had no say in how things happened, he'd just have to take what came, and he was perfectly fine with that - when it came to big guys like Kieran, he liked it that way. About the only thing he could do was spread his legs and open up a little, so that was what he did.

Kieran waited just long enough to let him do that, but no longer. With a grunt, he shoved in, spreading Wally's hole wide around his pecker. The human let out a yell as the intense heat from the Emboar's cock combined with the huge stretch to provide him with crazy amounts of pleasure. He'd had morphs before, but never a fiery one, and he was finding the heat to be incredible. And Kieran was rough, taking him without any restraint whatsoever...he loved this kind of thing, there was no way a stick-in-the-mud like Zach could appreciate it.

“Fuckin' hell, you're tighter than I thought," Kieran managed to grunt out between thrusts, the banging of the lockers almost drowning him out. This was how it was meant to be, rough and hard and free...something he doubted Aiden had any appreciation for. And when the target was clenching down around him, trying to almost pinch him off, all the better. Soon he was starting to shoot jets of steaming precum into Wally, making his passage easier and causing some drippage onto the floor below him.

Wally's hands eventually found purchase on the Emboar's arms, clinging to the blazingly-hot flesh like his life depended on it and thankful that he couldn't be burned by him. It was a real strain to have his body suspended like this, gravity trying to work against him while he was being drilled, but the strain was nothing compared to the pleasure. The shape of Kieran's dick was very novel, the twisting corkscrew shape touched his insides in ways that no other had ever done, and then there was the burning heat within him that sent his lusts alight, triggering all his nerves with a fury. Especially when they touched his prostate, a burst of pleasure crashing through him each time it was pounded, getting a jet of pre out of him each time that shot onto the Emboar's chest and hissed as it turned to steam. “Fuck...yeah...harder you beast!"

“If that's what you want…" Kieran shoved in harder, ramming in and out as hard as his legs would allow him to. He could feel things start to bubble underneath, his balls and cock tingling excitedly, desiring release...that was about the only thing he held back, trying to last as long as possible within Wally. Pride wouldn't let him leave his partner undersatisfied, and his hands were a bit too engaged to work over the human's cock, so it fell to his wild thrusting to give him enough pleasure to achieve his own climax.

And Wally was close...he could feel the pleasure racing through him, making his hard dick pulse and twitch. He could've brought himself over, but he wanted to get it from Kieran, he knew it could happen and wanted to get it. So he kept his hands firmly on Kieran's arms, gripping the muscles tightly, feeling them stretch and shift under his fingers...truly appreciating the raw strength they displayed. “So close...I'm...ah!"

Finally, as Kieran hit his sweet spot once more, he cascaded over the edge. He fired out onto Kieran's body, his cum sizzling against the burning stomach, the fluid rapidly drying and leaving just a sticky residue. And then Kieran pressed his entire body into it, slamming Wally between himself and the lockers and letting out a loud growl as he started to flood the human's ass with blazing cum. The intense heat flushed deeper into Wally, warming his core and making him sweat profusely, prolonging his orgasm by sending yet more pleasure racing through him, getting more hard spurts out of him to dry against the Emboar's body.

They stayed in position for quite a while as Kieran pumped his thick fluid into Wally, enough to force it to start leaking out around him, adding to the mess underneath the two of them. The pressure from so many directions was making it a bit of a strain for Wally to take in air, and the potent heat in the air around them wasn't making it easier, adding to the feelings of intensity even as his climax tapered off. His dick was being rubbed against Kieran's body, ensuring that it remained hard even as his load was exhausted, and sending more pleasure through the afterglow. Though the rubbing get less and less as Kieran's load also reached its end, the shots tapering off finally and leaving him with a gut full of fire.

As he pulled out, a bit of thick cum followed from Wally's hole, though most of it seemed perfectly happy to stick around inside. “Motherfucker, that was awesome...why the hell didn't we do that earlier?"

“Hah...you're guess is as good as mine…" Wally rubbed his stomach, impressed at the heat he felt even with so much separating the fluid from his hand. “But we gotta do it a lot more often if that's how good it is."

“Agreed. How about round two in the showers?"

“Hell yeah. Y'know...this gives me an idea...maybe we can't break the two of them up, but maybe what they need is a good example of a healthy relationship. If we show them what we can do, maybe they'll learn to do it right."

“Hm, that might be possible...we'll have to give it a shot, but they'll probably need some time to cool off first. So let's just enjoy this for now."

Wally grinned. “Sounds like the first plan that'll go right for us. C'mon, let's go get me all stuffed with pork again."
