"Fucking hell! I came on to practice my macro game, not sweat my ass off!" 


Clicking the mouse loudly was a male bunny with long black hair wearing glasses and ear buds. He was focused, not letting his eyes leave the screen as the keyboard clicks got more rapid. His earbuds were at a loud enough volume to let out faint synthy tunes but not loud enough to mask his grunts. He started gritting his teeth as his League of Legends match got intense. On the reflection of his glasses you could see him playing the best he could and things weren't looking too hot. His expression got slowly more frustrated before his music came to a brief stop to give him a “ding” before returning to the music. This made him look away from his game and at his phone resting on his lap. The screen read a text message from “Tío Luis”. He tried to read it quickly, but before he could, his screen turned gray and read “You Have Been Slain.” The rabbit's ears drooped down as he groaned, looking up and trying to figure out what happened as he was distracted. However, he wasn’t given the chance. The screen flashed red text saying “defeat.” He facepalmed and let out a frustrated whimper. He took a deep breath before punching the armrest of his chair, he typed “GG'' into the chat and stood up from his chair, boots meeting the carpet.  There he stood wearing a black zipped up jacket, torn up black jeans with a chain hanging on the waist, and black boots. The rabbit pulled out his earbuds as he walked away from his computer, unlocking his phone. 


“I play this game to distract myself from what’s going on in the house, and it's not really making things any better,” He said, disappointed as he sat down on his messy bed.


Once the phone was unlocked he swiped up to his new text message: “Hey Stephan, I’m heading out of town for a few weeks, the log cabin is all yours if ya want it. Would love it if someone made sure it was safe. ¡Cuídate!”


Stephan swiped away, annoyed as he leaned back on his bed able to see out the window.
 
“Why would I go out in the middle of the woods? What the hell would I do out there?” he groaned, staring out the little bit of window he could see at this angle. He could see it was snowing outside, coating the neighborhood in a thick white blanket. “That place was just for Christmas parties, not like I ever had fun there.”


The rabbit rambled to himself before he shut up, hearing the faint yelling through the floor coming from down stairs, Mom. He tensed up as he knew that she was upset and was most likely giving his older siblings a piece of her mind. Nothing good ever came when she was in a mood like this. Stephan sat up and rested his hands on his thighs trying his best to look innocent in case she came to his room. For a moment all he could hear was the whirrs of the fans on his computer. Not long after, his door practically exploded open and in walked a largely built brown bunny with long crimson hair. 


“STEPHAN GLIMMER GLAMOR, WHAT USELESS THING ARE YOU DOING THIS TIME?”


He jumped in his bed startled as he lowered his face in fear, “Laura, it’s Winter vacation! Can’t I have a little fun?”


Just hearing her name called made her clench her fists.


“Who’s Laura? You should be studying for your future!”


He facepalmed with a loud sigh as he just prayed internally for her to leave, “I can have a little fun every now and then. I'm not going to fail college basics.”


The red headed rabbit got more in his face pointing as she spoke to him, “Thinking like that is how you ruin the future your father and I paved for you!”


Stephan looked up in anger into her eyes as he clenched his own fists as well.


“Just because you threw me into college against my will doesnt mean I owe you anything!”


A swift smack on his face came in response.
 
“Don't talk back to me! We spend every penny on you and your life just for you to waste away with those losers on the internet or that lagarto gorda! Get some real friends, Stephan!”


 “Don't talk about Tazri like that!” He shouted as he rubbed his face in pain as his eyes burned with fury. 


She stepped back looking offended with a hand on her chest, “Raising your voice at your own mother? How ungrateful and very stupid of you!”


He stood up to argue. Despite towering over his mom, his posture still showed fear as he slouched holding his own arms. 


“Stop treating me like I’m still a little boy, I'm old enough to make my own decisions!”


This only led to another slap as she got in his face spit from her words landing on his face.


“Oh, you're the big man in the house?” Laura walked away laughing and clapping her hands. “Oh, look at me! I’m Stephan! I sit and play games all day and have no money to pay for the internet I use so much!” 


“You won't let me drive and you won't let me get a job, of course I can't pay for it!”


This was the last straw. She walked across the room and ripped the modem from his desk, treating the cables with no care as she tore them out.


“You act like you can handle responsibilities like mine? You don't even know what stress is until you’ve lived my life!”


He reached out, starting to tear up, “Hey, that’s how I hang out with my friends during this damn blizzard!”


“If you’re an adult, buy your own internet and have your friends take care of you! Not like anyone would want to live with you more than a week!”  She scolded, walking out the door with a smug grin. 


He slammed his door shut before sitting on the floor, sobbing into the arms of his jacket, “It’s my life, let me live it my way, you stupid bitch!”


Wiping his snot he looked up at his computer with his game saying “Unable to Connect” and just made him tear up more as he felt defeated. 


Stephan was expected to sit here in solitude for God knows how long, trying to avoid setting her off again. His thoughts only grew more hopeless as he sat there in silence. He wished for his friends to be here to comfort him and take him away from his mom. But unfortunately, the snow would make that a hassle. He didn't even want to bother them to drive here, especially when Tazri’s is the only one nearby. His eyes trailed back to his phone which fell onto the floor during the argument. Stephan’s trembling hands reached over for it and put his earbuds back in his ears, with the calming synthwave sounds soothing him as he cried. 


He swiped around on his phone, opening Tazri’s contact as he typed just “hey” and waited. After what felt like forever, he saw Tazri type up a response. 


“Hey what’s up Stephie? Aren't you playing League tonight?”


Sighing in sorrow, Stephan typed back,  “I was. My mom got pissy and cut the house internet again.”


He was greeted with a shocked emoji and a text soon after. 


“Yikes, she has really gotten over the top lately. Are you okay?”


Whimpering, he rubbed his cheek before typing, “Mostly okay, she just slapped me twice.”


Not even a moment passed before Tazri typed several messages.


“YOU POOR THING!“


“I’M DRIVING OVER THERE RIGHT NOW!”


“WE GOTTA GET YOU TO A PLACE TO DE-STRESS!”


A resulting flurry of text and emojis took Stephan aback.
 
“Hey, woah! You don't need to drive here; the roads aren't safe!”


Time passed and no response came back. She must have been on her way. Pacing in his room almost immediately in anxiety he spoke to himself. 


“I hope she makes it here safely! Where would I even go? Most places are closed right now!?” He repeated to himself several times trying to think of anything and it hit him. “Tio Luis’s log cabin!” 


Soon, a messenger bag was pulled out of the closet and the bunny was now sitting on the floor, stuffing it with a pair of clothes, underwear, and some electronics like his laptop and DS. Latching his bag and putting it over his shoulder, he ran out his room, stopping at the stairs, listening out. No signs of his mother. She had to be cooling down in her own room like always. After putting his phone in his pocket he walked down the stairs, tiptoeing with each step. Once at the bottom, he looked around and could tell his mother and siblings were all recovering in their rooms. The coast was clear. 


Power walking forward, Steph was determined and focused on nothing but the door. He charged forwards, pushing it open as he exited. The front yard was covered in snow and not a car was in sight, as the cold air brushed upon his face. Stephan covered his mouth with his arm as he walked off the front steps onto the snow, his boots loudly crunching in the snow. 


“I hope she's not having a hard time with the ice.” He spoke in a worried tone, walking down his driveway stomping through the snow as flakes flew into his glasses. 


Winter never bothered the bunny. If anything, the high wind speeds were more of an annoyance than the low temperatures, making him keep his mouth covered as he reached the edge of his driveway. Looking both ways, he could see a freshly plowed street. Soon, a black sedan came driving down the road and stopped in front of him. Behind the glass was a pearl white kobold with a pink jaw looking at him. She expressed concern before rolling down her window. 


“Steph, come on, get in! I'll find some restaurant that's open!”


The sight of Tazri made him grin faintly as he walked around the road to her passenger side and pulled the door open to sit. 


“You just got here and you already want to buy me food?”


Tazri hugged his arm to comfort him, “You look weak and crying on an empty stomach is unbearable. Let me buy you food just this one time, Steph.”


Steph hugged her back hand going down her back realizing she's dressed too lightly for this weather. Looking down he caught sight of his chubby friend in a t-shirt and yoga pants.
 
“Tazri, you didn't even think about changing clothes before coming to rescue me?” 


The kobold laughed before apologizing, “Yeah, sorry about that. Helping a friend is priority number one! Be happy I wasn't wearing anything less.” The thought of seeing Tazri in her underwear made his cheeks turn rosy as he shook his head to clear the thought. She sat back up straight and turned the car around driving away from the mansion.


“So what were you thinking of eating?” Tazri asked. “I know Hot Bun’s Burgers should still be open right now.” 


Stephan rubbed his stomach as it felt hollow and empty after the thought of a good veggie burger. 


“You really don't have to, but I wouldn't mind a bite to eat.”


Tazris smiled and gave him a nod as they went down the main street.
 
“So, why is she upset this time?”


He looked at her and back at his hands still feeling the dried up tears on his fur before bringing his memory back to earlier.
 
“I barely passed midterms and she thinks I have to cram study for an A. Two days in, and she already hates me playing League all day.”


Tazri nodded concerned, “She has no right to tell you how you spend your vacation, but she's right about one thing.”


 “What?”


“You definitely need to stop playing League.” 


Steph immediately laughed, “Nah, that game is fun and distracts me from her.”


Tazri laughed along as she turned into the parking lot after seeing the large bunny-eared burger sign.“It seems to make you just as mad as she does.”


He pouted in disapproval as they stopped in front of the menu. Out of the microphone came a depressed sounding voice. 


“Welcome to Hot Buns Burgers, where you get your buns nice and toasted. How may I take your order?”


“Just get my usual,” Steph said to Tazri. “I should be fine for the day.”


Tazri leaned out her window before clearing her throat and speaking up, “I would like a Triple Deluxe hot bun burger with bacon and extra jalapenos and a veggie bun burger with triple the patties.”
 . 
“Wow…” the voice responded. “Well, uh, that will be $19.45 at the first window.”


Tazri lightly pressed the gas and moved up the empty drive-thru to the first window as they waited for the cashier to open the window.


“She sounded amazed we could even eat all that,” Tazri laughed. 
“Must be new to the job. She has to learn that people here have big appetites.” 


The window opened and behind it there was a pink flamingo in red and yellow shirt tucked into black pants with bunny ears styled headset. She saw Tazri and her frown went up to a smile at the sight of the kobold. 


“Tazri, it's good to see you! I didn't expect to see you on my first day on the job.” 


“Oh!” Tazri gleamed, “I thought you might have sounded familiar, how's the new job treating you?”


Stephan quickly realized who it was and slunk into his seat, hoping to not be seen through the two girls mingling, impatiently thumping his foot and praying for Tazri to get him the hell out of here..
 
“Oh, it’s alright. Not much hard work, although there’s a ton of loser customers, though. But don't worry, nothing too strenuous.”


“So Rebecca, I want you to meet my best friend Stephan. We met in D&D club back in high school.” 


Tazri moved over to let the flamingo and the rabbit's eyes meet. They stared at each other for a full minute before Steph’s eyebrows raised in worry, Rebecca’s curling in anger. 


“You!! Tazri, you can't possibly be hanging out with this loser. He's nothing but a waste of time.” 




“He’s a sweetheart and a good friend who cares about others more than himself. Why would he be so bad?” Tazri spoke in a surprised tone, as she defended the bun.


“He’s the one I told you about! The one who humiliated me in middle school and stole my spotlight!” Rebbaca accused with straight venom towards the goth bunny.


“Becca, you cling to that stupid party like it happened yesterday. I’m sure everyone moved on and forgot by now. Especially since we’re all in college.” Tazri waved her hand trying to calm her down as she spoke.


“Look Rebs?” Steph interjected. “Becca? I’m still sorry about ruining your dress. I was clumsy. C-can we just pay for our food and not have to tear open an old wound?” 


Steph looking her in the eyes hoping to reason with her. Rebecca stood back up straight and crossed her arms. 


“Fine, your food has been ready here for a while, just pay and get your fake goth self out of here.” 


Steph looked offended and hurt as Tazri handed over her card. After a quick swipe, the receipt got printed and Rebecca handed both back to Tazri. Rebecca stepped deeper into the store and came back with a bag with a strong scent of french fries, handing it over to Tazri. The bag was passed over to Steph where he rested on his lap. 


“Tazri, please reconsider your friend, he's only going to get you into trouble.”


Tazri looked up at her with a disapproving head shake, “You should really rethink your feelings about him. Maybe you could get that crush back.”


Rebecca’s face went red as Tazri drove off. 


“I had no idea you two were friends.”


Stephan adjusted the bag as he sat in a more relaxed posture.
 
“No, we’re just classmates. She always vents about some bunny ruining her public image. Yeah, you messed up, but by now she’s just being petty.” 


“I’m sorry about what I did, but I have no idea how to make it up to her. I feel she'll always hate me.”


Tazri kept driving down the road, licking her lips, envious of him being able to eat.


“It’s on her, Steph. If she ever overcomes her pride, you two would be great friends.” 


He unwrapped the burger and took a bite. 


“Here’s hoping I can convince her I’m still a decent guy.” 


He proceeded to gobble down the rest of his burger like nothing before burping. Tazri laughed and cheered him on as they got further into town. 


“Good push! So you want to come back to my place and play some cards to make this day better?” 


Wiping his mouth clean, he sat up excited. 


“You know? I can't pass up an offer to fight with cards, but you know what your Granny said.” 


Tazri rolled her eyes and leaned back, “Yeah, no friends over during hatching week.”


He pulled up his phone and tried to set up a map for her. 


“Your granny is going to help another couple have a smooth hatching! You should be proud, hun. Plus, I got a better idea for where to leave me.” Steph held up his phone and let her get a glimpse of a path leading deep into the woods.


“You want to go all the way out there? Not trying anything stupid?” She spoke with concern as she turned off the main street to the more rural area close to the forest.
 
“No, no, my Tío just wanted me to housesit the cabin while he went out of town. You know that I wouldn't hurt myself, I'm smarter than that.”


The car started passing fewer houses as the road became mostly surrounded by trees.
 
“I can stay there with you, in order to help you not feel alone,” Tazri offered.


He patted her on the shoulder to reassure her, “I have my phone and laptop so we can keep in touch. I’ve got the Internet at least.”


Tazri followed the directions making a turn into a dirt road leading deeper into the woods.
 
“F-Fine but what if I stayed the first night?”


He pouted at the thought of getting to cuddle Tazri before having to turn her down. “I’m sure he wouldn't be happy with me if I let a non-family member spend the night in his place. I want to keep a good relationship with the one uncle that's close to me.”


They soon pull up to a snowed over log cabin parking in front of the patio.


“I guess… have a good time Steph, try your best not to think about your mom.”


The rabbit nodded as he opened his door stepping out with his messenger bag leaving Tazri’s food in his seat.


“Drive back home safe, Tazri!” He departed, shutting the door before stepping back and waving. 


Tazri waved back before backing up and turning away from him and driving off into the distance. Stephen was now alone, just the sound of the cold wind blowing by as he turned back to face the cabin. He approached it, stomping his boots through the snow as he sighed in relief. His boots reached the steps of the porch as he pulled himself up to the door. Before he could even attempt to jiggle the door knob, the wind creaked it open. 


“Oh, typical of Tío, not shutting the door behind him,” he laughed as he stepped into the empty cabin only lit by the light coming in from the door. 


Inside, he saw the fireplace with a pile of spare firewood near it, as well as the couch not too far in front of it. To the right was the scratchy-sheeted bed he remembered sleeping on last Christmas. He shivered, remembering the feeling of them poking through his sweater. To his left there was the kitchen, vacant for once while being here. Memories flashed of his siblings surrounding his uncle while he served them all choripan. He would’ve felt a bit excited to have his uncle's grilled sandwiches here in a few weeks, especially if his whole family wasn't going to be here too. Next to the door, he found the coat rack and the light switch, prompting him to switch the light up quickly. The cabin lit up with really dated lightbulbs making a faint audible hum. 


“Well, this place feels a hell of a lot more cozy when it’s not crowded.” 


He shut the door and walked up to the couch sitting down and taking off his messenger bag, resting it beside him. He let out a relaxed moan as he leaned back on the soft couch. 


“What should I do first? Play some games, take a hot bath or maybe just get comfy?” Stephan had so many options in front of him since this was like his own private vacation. “Well, it's warm here. I don't need to be dressed so much if I want to use the fire.” 


He picked up his right foot and unlaced his boot, pulling it off and resting it on the floor in front of him. He moved his sock-clad foot over to rest on the couch as he lifted his other foot to remove the boot. Now with both feet resting in front of him, he sat up pulling his legs in so he could peel off the socks. Once his feet were free, his toes wiggled and squirmed before meeting with the floor standing himself up. 


“Much better! But I got some ways away.” 


He nodded as he unzipped his jacket peeling it off onto the couch letting his drill necklace hang free again. Soon his hands started to unbuckle his belt and his oversized pants fell to his feet revealing his tighty whities. Stepping out of his pants he sat back down on the couch in just his shirt and underwear, propping his feet up on the other end of the couch.  His posture really showed off his bare legs and his choice of underwear did nothing to hide his bulge as he laid there pulling his laptop out of his messenger bag. He placed his computer over his lap before opening it welcoming him with a dream he was logging. 


“I can get back to turning my dreams into stories without my mom or my games intruding on my focus anymore.”


He wiggled his feet happily as he laid there typing humming the synth tunes he was listening to earlier. Halfway into the song, he realized he doesn't need to hide his tastes as much here. Clicking around in his computer and turning up the volume, 80’s synth beats blasted out of his laptop speakers. The music was loud and echoing through the cabin, perfect for Steph to bob his head along to the rhythm. 


Hours passed of him writing on his laptop. His stomach grumbled for food and with the sun setting, it was getting colder. Stephan clenched his stomach as he crossed his bare legs for warmth. Setting his laptop aside, he got on the floor and crawled towards the fireplace. He shivered as he used one hand to move the wood into the fireplace while the other just tried to keep him somewhat warm, rubbing his side. Grabbing the match box and turning the dial, he heard the faint hiss of gas before lighting his match. He then watched the firewood catch on fire slowly, warming the room up. Stephan held his hands up to warm them and he stared at the fire with a smile. As he warmed up he shut the dial back off and sat with his legs extended out towards the fire, his underwear clad butt feeling the cold wood. 


“There we go. That feels much better now. Let's enjoy this before grabbing some food.”


He wiggled his toes as he stared at the fire, his hands sliding down his legs. He felt his fur was thicker than usual as his hands went into his fluff.


“Seems I’ve grown my winter coat, explains why I don't feel as cold in my underwear. How strange, we wear clothes nowadays but we still shed and grow out our coats. It’s as if clothes never happened.” 


After a few rubs his body felt like it was back at room temperature. 


“Though I'm pretty sure being hungry doesn't help with my body temp.” 


Feeling cozy enough, he stood back up and walked to the kitchen to open the fridge. Bending over to look inside, he could see his uncle's stash of veggie sausages. Stephan licked his lips in delight but felt disappointed remembering he would have to grill those if he wanted any to taste good. He bent down lower to dig through the drawers, his underwear allowing a small peek at his butt crack as his behind waggled side to side during his search. Down in the bottom drawer, he found a bag of whole carrots barely opened and still smelling fresh, causing him to smile as he pulled them out. 


“These will definitely not be good for my rear but at least they’ll satisfy my hunger for now.” He reached his hand into the bag and pulled out two large carrots before tossing the bag back in and shutting the door. 


Carrot in each hand, he leaned his back on the counter as he started to nibble on the carrot in his left hand. Biting down on the tip he began to chew, looking around as his eyes landed towards the window. Still light out. Just barely, though. Strange, as he thought that it was only roughly half past 5 o' clock. 


“Man, I haven't even been here that long and it's already starting to get dark out. Gotta love winter.”


Already halfway done with his carrot, he started for the front door, his bare paws feeling the wood shift into colder temperatures. 


Steph’s hand gripped the cold door knob and before he could fully turn it, the wind pushed the door open hitting his underdressed body with cold air and causing a faint shiver as he looked at the snow covered forest outside. The wind kept trying to lift his shirt up held down by his necklace causing his nipples to harden from the air that passed through it. 


“Heck, it's not so bad out there.” 


Putting his other hand still holding a carrot on the hem of his shirt, he stepped out onto the porch to finally be able to see the setting sun through the trees. He leant forward on the porch railing and rested an elbow on it as he nibbled on his carrot. It was a sight for him to take in: thick blankets of snow among bare trees lit by the orange glow of a setting sun. 


“Mom would be stressing about me staying inside while it's this cold. I wish she could understand how much I love winter.” 


Finally finishing his first carrot, he passed over the other one to his right hand and before he was able to take a bite, he saw a figure in the distance. Steph looked curiously at a feral deer walking about in the forest, looking very graceful. The beauty was so much to take in and he envied the peace it felt. The stress of parental gratification isn't a thing in nature, just survival. He wanted to be like the deer, away from the troubles of modern life with no family standards or image to uphold. Steph couldn't keep still staring at the deer for too long; he was feeling urges to get closer to try and join it. His paws started to guide him forward subconsciously as he reached the steps before the snow. One foot stepped down on the first step, leaving small patches of snow smooshed by his fluffy sole. This felt colder than the wood alone, making his foot feel slightly damp as this helped him get fully awake and stay alert to his surroundings. 


The next step had more snow than the last, as his other foot came down on it with a faint crunch pooling around the outline of his paw. He was at the end of the stairs and after that he was going to have to get his feet on the blanket of snow in front of him. His foot reached over on top of the snow, feeling the fluff before pushing down and digging into the snow. His ankle was deep in, sinking his feet to the dead grass beneath. Bringing over the other foot he stood there, with the snow from the paw shaped holes collapsing on his toes as he felt different inside. Steph grew a slight smile on his face as he slowly walked through the snow towards the deer, doing his best to muffle the crunch of each step. He grew aware of what he was doing but he couldn't stop himself. Somehow the cold, the snow and the lack of much clothing felt almost right. The deer noticed the bun approaching it and stared at him unmoving. Stephan slowed his approach as he held a hand out hoping to not scare it off. 


“Come on, little guy, I mean no harm!”


The deer approached him allowing for a pet on the head but that didn't stop it. He was getting awkwardly close to him, nosing his hand to try to get the carrot from him. Steph rose his hand away from the deer as it kept trying for his carrot. 


“Hey, that's my food! You can't have that!” 


The deer didn't care for Steph’s attempts to back it off. Eventually, it grew irritated as it tried to ram Steph with its antlers up close. With a loud rip, the bun was thrown back into the snow dropping his carrot. The adrenaline filled his body as he looked up in fear at the deer attacker. The deer was grabbing the carrot from the snow, the tattered remains of his shirt on its antlers. It gave him one last glance before it galloped away. Steph, now feeling the snow and his necklace on his bare chest, blushed as he reached out. 


“Hey, come back! I need that shirt!”


He quickly got himself up and ran after the deer in the snow, leaving a trail with each step. The deer galloped and weaved between trees, outrunning the bun, but staying in sight. The underwear clad bun could not keep track of where he was going. He was just desperate to get his shirt back. The deeper he ran into the forest, the longer the branches poked out and the lower they hung, as he had to push one out of the way occasionally. 


Soon, an unsuspecting branch caught on the fabric of his briefs. Determined and focused, he kept going, but he couldn't ignore it for long. The branch pulled back, tripping him after another loud rip as his face planted in the snow. 


“Heck, I’ve lost him now, I bet.”


He lifted his head out of the snow and he shook it to get the snow out of his hair. Sadly, his glasses were all smudged up from the now melting snow on them. He reached up to remove his now unusable glasses and things felt off as he removed them. His crotch region felt cold and he could feel snowflakes landing on his rear. His free hand went back to inspect what was wrong only to graze his bare butt as it dug into its exposed fluff. The cheeks on his face turned a shade of pink as it all hit at once: he was naked! In embarrassment, he rose to his hands and knees looking around for his underwear in desperation. He couldn't see too far ahead of himself without his glasses as he started to crawl around. 


“W-where did it go?!?”


He crawled around in search of his lost underwear. Eventually, his hand felt fabric as he lifted up his underwear, now torn in half and unwearable. He pouted at the realization of the loss of both his food and his clothes. He had to get back to the cabin and get dressed, but as he squinted his eyes he couldn't tell where he came from. He looked at his glasses all smudged up and frosted over from the melted snow. After realizing they were useless, he placed them down in the snow as he sat down in disbelief. 


“I’m stuck out here naked and hungry. What am I going to do?” 


Looking at his surroundings he saw two footprint trails, but couldn't make out which was his without his glasses. He really had no choice but to pick a path. Standing back up, snow fell off his rear and balls as he patted down his thighs. Sitting in the snow made his penis smaller than it's ever been, not able to reach the bottom of his sack as the foreskin piled over the head. Naked and hungry, he went down the first trail he saw looking for anything familiar as he moved forward. He crossed his arms and slouched in worry as he was yet to see anything recognizable. The further he went the more his stomach grumbled in hunger, as one carrot wasn't going to last him long. Walking through the woods, he looked up and down the trees, all as bare as he was. There was no food in sight. He had to find his way to the cabin or he was gonna starve out here. The cold wind caused his nipples to continue to be erect under his fur, as he neared a break in the tree line. Hiding behind all these trees he was able to spot a glistening half frozen pond. Looking in awe, he realized he found a source of water. He licked his dry lips. 


Stephan’s feet crunched in the deep snow with each step. Getting near, he was overcome with a bit of excitement, his penis bouncing up and down as he hurried to the water, giving him a new feeling that he’s never felt back at home. He felt free, unbound by his mother’s rules and standards, like he truly was his own bunny. Diving into the snow, he was on all fours right at the edge of the pond and he couldn't help but smile at his reflection. 


“Why am I having fun out here?” 


He couldn't understand why he felt weight lifted from his shoulders. Was it the nudity or the solitude and wilderness around him? Looking down at his own body, the snow stuck to his fur really amazed him. He was outside, naked, and didn’t feel embarrassed at all. His penis swayed slowly in his view as it slowly grew more in length from his faint arousal, despite how cold it was. Looking forward to the pond he lowered his head closer to the water until his lips made contact with it. Sipping up the cold water refreshed him as it felt colder than the snow on his body. He closed his eyes and sipped more water, feeling bliss in the position he was in, with his butt in the air and his ears drooped back. Stephan, more relaxed than ever, drank from a pond like a feral bunny. His ears twitched as they listened to the sounds around him, mostly the howl of the winter breeze but also the faint crunching in the snow behind him. Steph stopped sipping and sat up looking around curiously. 


At first, it all seemed empty until he caught a fluffle of white snow bunnies hopping their way towards him. He turned slowly as they all approached him, one got particularly close and raised its head to look at him. Lowering his own head slowly, their noses neared each other before the rabbits both rubbed their noses together. Stephan’s curious face grew happy as he knew the rabbit trusted him. 


“Hey little guy, what brings you here?”


He stared at them as they started to move past him and drink from the same pond he did. He thought they must have been all getting a drink before heading back to the warren. Watching in awe, he felt somewhat welcomed by the other bunnies as he rose back up. Some started to move away from the water and head off. Stephan was about to head off on his own before the one from earlier came up to him and nuzzled his ankle. Looking down in a smile, he tried to think what they could have wanted. Before he could even ask, the bunny hopped toward the others but stopped and looked back at Stephan. 


“Want me to follow, don't you?”


He had no idea where he was so he felt he couldn't pass up the offer as he started to follow it with the fluffle ahead. The bunnies converged down the snowy field, and he was led to an area where the blanket of snow wasn't as thick and he could feel some dirt under his soles. Walking forward, he soon felt a downward incline and he could barely see the bunnies ahead. They had scattered in a field of cabbages. It was all still blurry to him, but he was still able to make out what was going on as he walked down the hill. As Steph reached the base of the hill, he could see the bunnies nibbling on wild cabbages, happily causing him to smile as he watched their adorable behavior. Not too long into watching, he pulled his hand onto his tummy as it grumbled and reminded him how empty his stomach still was. Thankfully, there was plenty of free food for him, as he bent down and pulled out a chunk of leaves from the nearest cabbage. Taking a bite into the leaves crunched loudly, as Steph swallowed shortly after some audible chewing. It still felt cold to his mouth but tasted decent enough to warrant him to get down on all fours and bite off more like a wild rabbit. It felt so right to him, naked as the day he was born and eating wild vegetables. 


The faintest sense of cold fading away as the snowflakes landed on his back and the soles of his feet. As he dug into his meal, he could feel his body heat and blood rush down as his penis rose and his head peeked out of his foreskin. This was all so taboo to him, but unlike wearing girls’ clothes, he felt a different sense of euphoria when doing this. Small droplets of precum escaped his penis and slung onto the shallow snow beneath him leaving a transparent string of fluid behind them as he finished the edible bits of the cabbage. The rabbit sat back up. Resting his rear on his feet, he smiled; his appetite was satisfied. 


“Well, that makes up for the lost carrot.” He patted his tummy before he realized his erect penis standing straight up in plain view, which caused his cheeks to turn rosy. “Oh heck, maybe I’m getting a little too comfy” 


He put both hands over his penis and pushed it down in shame with a nervous chuckle. He looked around to see if anyone saw him, even though he knew he was alone. The rabbits were done eating and moving again causing him to stand up quickly with nothing holding his penis from going back up as he rose. Stephan dashed after the other rabbits as if he were a part of a group. Each step caused his balls to bounce and sway with his penis as he couldn't help but smile, running after the others. He never felt this euphoria before, because he was finally free from his stress. The blood rushed through him as he ran behind the other rabbits. He didn't want it to end. Each crunch of his paws that landed on snow with the howl of cold winds felt like music to his ears. Nature was the truest escape he could ever feel, the purity and sanctity was all he ever needed to feel at home. 


Though, due to him being too excited, Stephan wasn't paying attention. When the bunnies came to a halt, he was going too fast to stop immediately, but he tried anyway. Doing his best to not run into anyone from the fluffle, he hopped over one and then another, but he couldn't stick the third landing and flew forward. The rabbit was airborne briefly before crashing into the snow leaving a slight trail as the other bunnies surrounded him in worry.  His hand pushed on the ground to rise just enough so he could shake his head, sending the snow on his face everywhere. 


“Sorry everyone, I wasn't paying much attention,” He chuckled as he sat up.


He could see his penis was still up and melted a small patch in the snow when he was laying down. His eyes stared at himself in disbelief of what he was doing before it came to realization. Things were getting harder to see and the sun finally set as it was dark. This brought some worry because he knew he was fine in the current temperatures but now it was only going to drop further. The bunnies were slowly dropping in number as he looked around confused. 


“Hey guys, where are you all going?” He asked, not figuring it out until he saw a single bunny looking directly at him. Crawling forward towards it confused, he held out a hand.


“You waited for me again, didn't you?”


His gesture was met with a head rub before an immediate thump. Stephan put his hands up understanding it. 


“Okay, okay, what is it you wanted me to see?”


Seems he wasn't fully understanding as it responded with a hop and a thump. Stephan was dumbfounded until he saw a small rabbit sized hole about 2 feet deep dug in front of the bunny. His ears perked up briefly as he realized he was being invited into the rabbit warren. This brought excitement in his heart, but the hole wasn't meant for a rabbit of his size. How would he get in? He gently pawed at the edges but wasn't moving much dirt at all any time soon. As his finger caught some dirt, he remembered he had claws, mostly unused all his life. Digging wasn't a job for most civilized rabbits, causing him to forget his natural tools right at his fingertips. Now pawing at the edges of the hole with the tips of his fingers pressed, the claws were grabbing more dirt than with his hands, speeding the process up, but not optimally. He stood on the edge of the hole where the dirt he moved piled up, his toes curled over the edge, which caused his claws to grip into the dirt. He remembered that he had them on his feet as well, so pushing his legs back, they moved large chunks of soil. His white floof got dirty as he started to dig with all fours. The hole grew in size quickly, as his arms and legs got filthy before he made enough room to enter head first with room for his shoulders to follow behind. The ceiling of the warren wasn’t high enough for him to sit up so he pulled himself further in. Laying his bare belly on the dirt he felt warm again. 


He could see the larger room full of bunnies moving about to different spots or going through other tunnels in front of him.


“Home sweet home, right buds?” 


Smiling, he crawled further into the larger space. Some bunnies scooted aside to give him some room. The warmth was cozy to him, but he wished he could sit up even a little. Rolling onto his back raising his hands to the ceiling he tried to dig room for his head. Pulling some dirt off the ceiling, larvae quickly fell through the patch that he dug and landed in front of his face. They were beetle larvae, snapping around seeking food, causing Stephan to feel bad. He cupped them into his hands as he looked at them. 


“Sorry to disturb your dinner, young ones. I’ll put you back.” 


With one hand he dug a small hole around where they fell from and let them squirm off his hand back into the earth. He felt better, but he still needed to get comfy if he wanted to rest at all. Looking around he saw bunnies already resting curled up in balls, all cozy and taking up less space. Stephan hadn’t curled like that since he was a toddler but it was worth a shot. Rotating to his side he pulled his legs in. Knees to his torso, he rested his head on his hands reaching some comfort. He exhaled in relief thinking about all that had happened. The deer that ripped his shirt and stole his snack was still fresh on his mind. Upset as he was about what happened, he almost wished he could thank the deer. If it weren't for him trying to approach it he wouldn't be experiencing this escape. Thoughts traveled back to the cabin as he tried to figure out how he would get back in the morning. Half way into a theoretical route, he remembered something. He left his laptop on, and it probably died on the floor by now since he didn't plug it in. This caused him to whimper slightly as progress on his work could have been lost. Stephan couldn't think too heavily about it, as the bunny from earlier and several others came up and curled up next to him. Surprised and smiling slightly he realized he should just focus on resting. 


“Never did say thank you.” The bunny only nuzzled into his legs as it was thanked. Stephan let his eyelids come to a close as he came to a deep sleep. 


Stephan felt the sensation of fabric beneath him as he slowly opened his eyes. It was still dark but he was in his room. He sat up on the edge of the bed in a hurry wondering how he got back as he noticed his paws were still covered in dirt. He winced as he saw his messed up fur, and his eyes traveled further up until he saw his bare crotch. His eyes widened at that very moment. 


“Fuck, I’m still naked!” He stood back up, rushing his hands to his crotch as he darted his eyes and searched for cover. “No no no, if she finds me like this she’ll ....” 


Before he could find any clothing, he could hear movement in the hallway outside his door and his heart skipped a beat. 


“Stephan, what are you doing up this late?”


The sound of footsteps approaching his room echoed terror into him as he was unable to move, not even cover his crotch. Pulling as strongly as he could, yet his arms wouldn't move. All he could do was sit there and take the inevitable judgment. The sound of his door knob being turned made him flinch as it flew open revealing a brown bunny clad in a nightgown looking upset. She hasn't even spoken yet but he could feel the daggers being stabbed into him from her glare alone. 


“Stephan Glimmer Glamor, why are you naked in my house?!?”


He was able to put his hands up in an attempt to calm her down, feeling chills down his spine, “Look mom, this is all a misunderstanding, I can explain!”


He could see her clench her fist as flames burned in her eyes.


“Misunderstanding? Oh I understand it, mi hijo está bailando naked and filthy like a damn animal! Did I climb up from the streets to this life I gave you just to have un hijo behave like a crazy person!?!” 


He couldn't help but cower behind his hands as she raised her voice left speechless. The more she yelled he could feel himself shrink, soon losing his height advantage. 


“How do you think this would make me look if everyone knew? Everyone would think I can’t raise children and I'm a horrible influence!”


All he could do is wince as he was soon the size of a rodent in front of his now towering mother. 
“Mom, I’m sorry, a deer tore off my clothes!” He shouted with a whimper as he fought tears knowing his mother glared down at him.
 
“Your fault for trusting your amigos de mierda! They just want to use you like that gorda lagarta Tazri!” 


Tears flooded out of his eyes as he couldn't take her insulting his friends again. He reached up to try and defend himself but only a squeal and whimper escaped his mouth before noticing his hands were smaller. Looking down at himself in shock he was a feral bunny, an animal like she was saying. 


“Are your friends telling you to be un conejito loco? You love them so much but they turned you into an animal! Do you know where animals go?” 


Laura reached down and picked him up by pinching his back fluff, causing him to squirm and kick his bunny feet as he was helpless. All Stephan could do was sob and squeal as his mom carried him through the mansion not caring about how tight her grip was. He could see the doors to the rooms for each sibling as he was carried, praying for any of them to come out and save him, but nobody came to the rescue. Soon, they reached the front door, and when his mother opened it, he could see it was pouring rain outside. 


“Animals go outside!” 


Stephan’s eyes widened as his small bunny form shrieked and flailed trying to convince her to stop. His begging cries were ignored as he was thrown, plummeting and crashing on the cold, wet concrete as his whole body felt the pain of the impact. Struggling to lift his head, he looked up at his mother standing there in the doorway smirking  proudly. A faint whimper escaped his mouth before she slammed the door shut. 


“MOM!” Stephan shouted before his head hit a ceiling made of dirt. 


Recoiling in pain, he clutched his head only to notice his hands. He stretched his arms out and noticed they were still their dirty scrawny normal look. He quickly hugged himself as he saw some bunnies still in the warren looking up at him startled. 


“It was just a nightmare. I'm still safe.” 


His cheeks felt damp and his heart was still racing when he woke up. Wiping his cheeks and calming himself, he realized the rabbits were leaving the warren, meaning that the sun had to be coming up. He crawled forward to the hole he dug which had a patch of snow under it. Nearing the hole it still seemed a bit dark out as the cold air hit him in the face before climbing through. Standing up, Stephan looked around and saw the sun rising in the distance as the wind blew, his long hair flowing back. He survived the night outdoors with the help of his little friends and a new day was ahead of him. He had no idea how much longer he would be out here but surviving was still in his best interest as he bent down and ripped one of the wild cabbages out of the ground. Taking bites out of the cabbage as he walked up the hill, the horizon was still very blurry to him, but he could still make out the pond he drank from earlier. Walking towards the pond, his gentle steps made his penis and balls sway slowly. The cold air kept his dick flaccid for now, as the foreskin was keeping the head hidden. The walk felt normal compared to the one from the day before, almost like he’s been doing this forever. Each one of his steps crunched softly as he reached the pond and stared at his reflection. 


He had to have been tossing and turning in his sleep, as now his white fur had dirt patches all over instead of just his limbs. Letting out a whimper he rubbed his filthy fur, as he wanted to clean up so badly, but he knew the water in front of him wasn't safe. His common sense told him not to get in there but he couldn't help but wonder how bad it was. Nearing the edge and lifting up his foot he stretched out a toe right above the water. Guiding it down into the pond it was quickly submerged and only a second passed. Soon, he felt a chill through his fluff straight to the bone as he shrieked like a girl at the top of his lungs, causing an echo across the forest. The sudden pain made him recoil as he dove back into the snow crashing and sending snow flying. Laying on the ground, he panted as he held his foot in pain. 


“Curiosity killed the bunny, I guess. Heck, I can't clean up until I get back to the cabin or home then.” He groaned in discomfort as his hands rubbed his foot to warm it up. While comforting himself he chuckled at his own stupidity. “Rebecca used to always tell me I was too much of an airhead for my own good. You might not be my friend anymore but damn you were right. If you were here you would be laughing up a storm like old times.” 


He raised his head and mimicked a snobby tone, “What dumbass Glimmer Glams! Your skull might as well be empty with how little you think.” 


Even if he could hear her insults in his mind, he didn't hate them as much as he likes to believe. He couldn't let the feeling of friendship die down yet in hopes of maybe fixing his blunder from middle school. At least thinking about Rebecca distracted him from the pain as he laid there in the snow. The wind comforted his foot, easing the pain but keeping it cold as he reminisced. Before he could think too much about Rebecca, he could hear rapid crunching in the snow behind him. He raised himself with his elbow and saw Tazri running towards him, holding his glasses and flailing in worry. The kobold dove and hugged him tightly as her jacket reminded him what clothes felt like, which made him blush. 


“Oh, thank Asgorath you’re safe!.


She couldn’t stop rubbing his back as she was holding back tears. He patted her back as his eyes wandered down and noticed besides her jacket Tazri was still in her pajamas and barefoot.


“Don't worry. I can handle myself, you should be more worried about not catching a cold.” 


She blushed knowing her wardrobe wasn’t fit for handling the cold. She could be so careless in the heat of the moment. 


“I didn't plan to run in the snow dressed like this, I came just to check up on you initially. Found the cabin empty and your underwear not too far off from your glasses when I went out to search. I got worried that you were kidnapped or something, but here I find you naked and safe.” 


She reminded Stephan he was naked and his face turned red, unable to cover. He didn't want Tazri to see him naked again after the pool incident last year, but it was far too late. 


“Look, let's say a deer stole my food and in chasing him I got lost.”


She laughed as she stood up lifting him off the ground, “And how the heck did you end up naked?”


He could only squirm and kick his feet as his friend lifted him up. 


“I-I-I am unsure about how it all happened.”


Putting him back down on his feet, Tazri looked back up at him with a smile, “Whatever happened I guess it’s unimportant now, you’re safe and that's all that matters.”


Stephan looked her in the eyes smiling as he felt butterflies in his stomach seeing his friend’s cute smile.


“H-Hey, do you remember where the cabin was? Don't want you getting sick out here.” He said, twiddling his thumbs nervously before Trazri gripped his hand.
 
“Not too far from it, guessing with your glasses frosted over you couldn’t see your tracks back home?”


He nodded as Tazri led him back into the woods. The cold smooth scales of her hands felt so nice as he watched her bare feet kick up snow as she walked.


“We’re definitely going to need to get you home, your mom is probably going to call the cops to find you soon.” 


As Tazri spoke, he was only half paying attention as he watched the hypnotic sway of her lower half. Stephan had always felt special feelings about Tazri since they met, he never had any confidence to say anything but he had no shame in getting some glances in when he could. 


“Y-yeah sure.” 


Tazri kept on rambling about how dangerous this all was as he just felt giddy around her. Soon, they reached the cabin and Stephan finally snapped back to reality when Tazri released his hand. 


“You coming or what? Don't tell me you like it out there dressed like that.”


He looked up and saw her standing in the doorway ushering him to get in. He leaped up the steps and hopped into the house. Feeling the cold wood on his soles reminded him that he was no longer in nature. 


“Well, funny thing about that...” 


He was about to explain to her his new self discovery as he noticed his pants on the floor where he left them and his laptop on the couch with not a single light on since it obviously died. Tazri sat down as she tried to warm up her feet. He walked up leaning behind her as he watched,  trying not to get dirt on anything. 


“You could use the bathtub if you wanted to warm up your feet,” Stephan mentioned. “I don't have any of my fancy soaps here if you wanted to exfoliate your scales.”


Tazri rested both her feet back down onto the wood after she finished rubbing them warm. 


“No, I think I should be fine. Are you going to get dressed at all?”


Stephan chuckled,  still a bit embarrassed, “I will soon. Not gonna lie, I kind of enjoyed all that time naked outside.”


Tazri looked surprised as her face shifted to concern, “Didn’t you feel like you were going to die out there?”


Seeing her smile drop got him worried for a second as he shifted behind the couch.
 
“No. Honestly? It felt amazing out there, like I was a part of it all. I’m not crazy I swear, but I felt at peace out there.” 


“Are you like a naturist or something? Wanting to live out in the wild with nothing but the fur on your back?”


Her words made him think about yesterday and he could only squirm in place, full delight and slight arousal from thinking about it.
 
“Yeah, I guess I am a naturist. I loved it out there.” Tazri moved one of her hands onto his, the soft touch of her scales making him still and attentive this time.
 
“Don't feel shy, I've been one for a long time. Just don't really do it during winter.”


His ears perked up and he leaned over the couch excited with a foot up in the air and his tail twitching.


“No way, you're a veteran with naturism? How come you never told me?”


Tazri stood up and patted him on the head, making him purr. She felt he was acting adorable. 


“You seemed too wholesome to handle it. Well, my mistake for assuming. If you went to my swim meets you would have figured it out for yourself.”


He felt almost called out as he blushed from her affection.


“Hey, are you calling me boring or something?”


She finished petting him and handed him his bag as he went to retrieve his pants. 


“Nah, I just thought you were prude, but if it makes you feel better I could join you tomorrow.” 


He pulled out a fresh pair of tighty whities while he almost fell over trying to put them on when he heard her offer. 


“Wait, really? You and me naked in the woods together?” 


Tazri nodded, causing him to squeak in excitement and hop around quickly to get dressed as he finally had his pants and socks back on. 


“Oh heck, that sounds amazing! Please show me your ways, oh mighty Tazri.”


His eagerness and praise made her laugh while watching him.
 
“Just because I’m your dungeon master doesn’t make me mighty, but yeah I’ll gladly show you how I do it.”


Putting a new shirt on and pulling his hair and necklace through, he crouched down to put his boots back on.
 
“Well, you are amazing, you deserve all the praise”


The compliments made Tazri feel warm, just happy to be reminded of how she makes him feel. 


“I’ll be waiting for you in the car, gotta get you home to calm your mom or our butts are in trouble. I can bring you back tomorrow.”


He watched her leave as her statement reminded him of the fact that he might have to deal with his mom when he got home. A faint sense of dread came to him as he packed up his laptop and put on his messenger bag. There’s no way seeing her after going missing would end well, but his desire to prevent more trouble was greater than his fear as he approached the door. His  boots were cramped, irking him. He glanced at his jacket laying on the couch knowing that if he put it on he wouldn't feel the wind as much anymore. 


“I’m coming back tomorrow, so I can grab it then.” 


Pulling the door open, he was able to feel the chill again on his torso as he walked up to Tazri’s car. Opening the door, he sat in the passenger seat and gave Tazri a smile as he gestured to indicate that he was good. 


“Alright, I’ll try and keep the drive out of the woods. I don’t want a bumpy ride.”


As she started the car and drove towards the main road, the vehicle couldn't help but bump up on certain rocks in the snow before driving smoothly on the road again. The road was empty so far. As he leaned his head on the window, he watched the forest slowly grow more distant. His thoughts went back to his nightmare, worried about how his mom is going to react if she knew what he did while he was gone. He had to get clean before she could even see him. That way, he could just make it look like he stayed at a friend's house. He felt relief until he realized it’s his mom and she’ll misconstrue that into him having sex with a friend. He rolled his eyes, hoping his mom won't throw him out tonight. Tazri interrupted his deep thoughts with a hand on his shoulder. 


“I know you haven't said it, but I know you're worried about what's gonna happen with your mom. It’s going to be okay, Stephan.”
  
He looked over in a bit of surprise as he was initially spaced out.


“No-No I’m good I swear I was just lost in my thoughts.”


She glanced at him briefly with worry before focusing back on the road.
 
“Dont lie to me, I can tell she’s on your mind.”
 
He could only blush as Tazri was always good at reading him like an open book.
 
“Okay, yeah, maybe a little, but I can handle it.”


“I hope so, ‘cause you deserve so much better hun.”


 His cheeks rose in a slight smile as she made him feel warm and fuzzy causing him to clench his chest, “Thanks Tazri, honestly.”
 
They didn't have much time left together but he could enjoy the car ride while it lasted. He wanted to hang in the cabin with her tonight, even if it meant trouble. However, as much as he wanted to try and convince her, he knew she would be adamant about keeping him safe. 


The rest of the drive was filled with silence as they entered his neighborhood street. His home slowly came into view as they headed down the street. Turning into his driveway made him nervous, as he only could imagine the worst of what could happen.


“Alright, Steph, we’re here. Please promise me you’ll be safe.”


The both of them looked each other in the eyes, she could see him shivering in fear.
 
“Don't worry, I don’t think she’ll bug me after leaving for a night.”
 
Stephan tried his best to hide his own worry from Tazri as he put both hands on her shoulders. Though she can see right through his attempts to shrug it all off as she hugged him.
 
“If it gets bad, please call me again. I'll be here in a heartbeat.”
  
He felt safe in her embrace wanting to make the hug last longer but he knew it would be awkward. Pulling away he made a smile and nodded as he opened the door and stepped out.


“Have a nice day, Tazri.”


“You have a better one, Steph.” 


He stood there leaning on the roof of the car, eyes locked on hers as the cold wind chilled them both. Tazri smiled at him as he shut the door and she started to back out. Watching his friend leave all he could do was stare and feel butterflies in his stomach, anything to distract him from thinking about what's next.
 
Turning back to the front door he could feel his heart pound as he remembered the nightmare. He trembled as he slowly neared the front door. Maybe she was at work, or sleeping, anything that would avoid conflict. His hand gripped the door knob as he stared down its wood finish, imagining the living room behind it with his mom inside just waiting to scold him. Taking a deep breath he turned the knob and opened the door slowly. The living room was empty, but the lights were on. She had to be home. There was no doubt about it. The door was unlocked like she was expecting him to be back home by now. Stepping in, he closed the door behind slowly hoping not to alert her if she was even awake. No sounds came after the click of the door and he felt less tense.
 
Maybe she fell asleep waiting, he thought. Stephan started to walk to the bathroom keeping his steps light on the carpet. He just wanted to get clean and get some proper sleep in a bed. Entering the porcelain bathroom, he locked the door behind him and he truly had a sanctuary away from her. Sighing in relief, he looked at his reflection seeing his hair all ruffled and covered in dirt from last night. His arms were no different.


Removing his glasses and setting them on the counter, his hands went behind his neck to unhook his drill necklace and placed it beside his glasses. He gripped the hem of his shirt and lifted it up, gently revealing his tummy and chest as he discarded the shirt on the floor. Running his hands through his fur, he could feel the grime and dirt stuck in it.


He cringed, “I gotta make up for lost upkeep.”
 
Sitting on the toilet, he lifted one foot and removed the boot with its sock soon following. His foot was covered in dirt like his arms making him feel almost savage as he thought more of what his mom would think. Resting his foot on the cold tile floor, he lifted the other foot and did the same. Getting his bare feet adjusted, he stood back up and unbuttoned his pants letting them fall to his feet as his underwear was all that was left. Gripping their waist band, he could remember when the last pair got snagged off by a tree. The sudden rush of cold to his crotch was still fresh in his mind, especially as he slid the garment down to his feet stepping out of it.
 
He stood there, looking at his filthy naked body in the mirror, admiring at least the clear signs of survival. It wasn't as cold as it was outside, so his penis wasn't as small as earlier. In fact, it was starting to stiffen in arousal. He turned around and admired his butt, barely covered by his dirty hair with his tail poking through.


“Nature was not kind on my fur.”
 
That was enough staring for now. He moved to the shower and turned the dial to hot water. The multiple shower heads started gushing out water in front of him as he watched, knowing it was still too cold. Soon steam started to fill the room not too long after. Stepping into the stream, the water was almost burning as it hit his fur. Most would recoil and hop out, but he loved the intense heat as he lowered his head into the shower, soaking his hair. To Stephan, the hot water always made him think of a sauna as the steam filled the room and fogged the mirror. The hot air always made him feel weak. He lowered himself onto his knees while water ran down his back and pooled around him. Raising his head, wet hair hung in his face, restricting his vision as he reached for the soap bottle. Gripping the bottle and bringing it down with him, he pushed the cap down, sending soap into his hand. He rubbed the soap up and down his dirt-coated arms, soon covering them in suds. He continued to massage his arms, scrubbing the dirt out and returning his fur to its white color. Watching the dirt wash off made him think about the hole he dug and the bunnies that comforted him in his time of need. The warmth of the rabbits snuggling up to him was still there while he showered, making him smile.


His hands moved on to the rest of his body, rubbing soap on to his shoulders and torso. He sat down on the floor of the shower, leaning on the wall, staring at the dirt on his legs and his half erect penis. All that digging really dirtied his body. Dispensing more soap, he scrubbed down his right leg. It had a thicker coating of dirt, meaning he had to use his claws to make sure it could be cleaned. After cleaning his ankle, he pulled his leg closer and started to gently rub his soapy hands on his soles. From his heel to his toes, the sensation of his fingers rubbing his feet sent pleasure up his body, making him utter soft moans. Washing the dirt off his feet turned more into a foot massage, the sensitive nerves on his feet helping him feel slowly more aroused. Running his fingers between his toes and down the tops of his foot made him squirm in place. Soon his leg was back to its normal color and he dispensed more soap for his other leg. Repeating the same process on his other foot didn't help with his arousal as his penis started to rise. Soon his body was mostly clean. He looked down at his stiff penis almost straight up. The most sensitive part was saved for last as he went for one last handful of soap.
 
Moving his soap covered hand to his crotch, he knew what was going to happen so he at least tried to delay it, starting with his sack, massaging it with his fingers. Fondling his own scrotum made him lean his head back on the wall as he let out a squeak. The pleasure made his thoughts race and fixate on earlier. Tazri saw him naked and didn't even mind, did she think he looked alright or was she just too focused on rescuing him? Details really couldn't be made out as he cleaned his sack, filling his mind with more thoughts. She didn't wear any foot wear, her soft scaled soles were exposed to the world as she ran for him. He wasn't even paying attention to his hand position as his hand was already gripping his penis. Too small for his hand he was mostly gripping it with 3 fingers sliding up and down blissfully with the soap working as makeshift lube. Lustful sounds escaped his mouth as he pulled down on his foreskin exposing his head each time. Tomorrow he was going to see Tazri naked. He could only imagine her gorgeous body under her clothes. This was the first time he ever felt seriously attracted to anyone; it sent him head over heels as he always snuck glances at her as they hung out. Tazri knew he was doing it, she always called him out on it but never stopped him. Was she into him the same way he was into her? She had to be sharing feelings if she offered to join him in some naked time in nature. The thought of her large round ass no longer in those pants of hers just sent his senses and thoughts into overdrive as his hand sped up. Everything about her was beautiful to him, from her motherly personality to her soft curvy body. It just made him drool at the thought.
 
“T-Tazri~”
 
Moaning her name he fantasized of her stepping all over him as he layed in the snow, her clawed toes caressing his shaft sending arousal and fear up his body. Just thinking of getting dominated by her made him squirm and curl his toes. He just wanted to be played with by Tazri. Even if he had no idea if she would even treat him like this, he couldn't stop himself. Gripping his penis, trying to simulate her toes,  he couldn't take it much longer. With a gasp, followed by an extended moan, warm sperm shot out of the head and landed on his chest, sticking there as more shot out with less force, dripping down his stomach. He panted breathing slowly as he laid on the shower floor in the afterglow. His thoughts calmed as he looked at the mess he made on himself, making his cheeks turn a faint pink. 


“Oh Tazri, maybe someday we can date.” 


Stephan had wishful thoughts about dating his best friend, but he had no idea if she felt the same. He didn't have much strength after that, but he needed to clean up and still wash his hair. His arms trembled as they pushed himself up onto his feet. His legs couldn’t support him much either as he leaned forward on the wall resting his head on his arms. Letting out an exhausted sigh as the water washed off his seed. He blinked slowly,  trying his best not to fall asleep in the shower. Taking a few deep breaths, he used his foot to push the soap bottle aside to make sure he didn't trip before standing up straight again. He reached for the shampoo and conditioner bottles dispensing a generous amount onto his hands and rubbed them into his scalp. Shutting his eyes he lowered his head under the shower head, letting all of it rinse off as he ran his fingers through his hair.


Once the suds stopped pouring from his head, he shut off the water, panting as the room was still filled with steam. His body dripped warm water. It wasn’t too long before he felt cold again. He crossed his arms to try and maintain some warmth. He reached out the shower door and grabbed a blue towel and threw it over his head. He let it sit on his head as he tried to rebuild his composure after masturbating. Soon his hands started to rub the towel on his head, drying his hair and the rest of his body soon after. No longer dripping heavily, he wrapped the towel around his torso covering down to his knees as he stepped out onto the dry tile. He put his glasses on and saw the mirror was fogged up only letting him see a blurry reflection of himself. Picking his necklace off the counter, he hooked it back on, letting the metal drill rest on top of the towel as he grabbed his brush and stepped out the bathroom. His damp feet met the carpet as he walked slowly towards the stairs feeling zen as he was planning to brush his hair by the window and watch the snow fall. Before he could make it to the stairs he heard a voice from the kitchen. 


“¡Mi hijo, tu comida!” 


It was his mother calling him for dinner, like it was just an ordinary day. Stephan froze up in fear before turning slowly. His mind could still hear the rain as he felt small. His heart thumped as he approached the kitchen with caution. Before too long he could see his mothers crimson hair resting on her back as she was stirring a pot. The smell filled his nostrils as for some reason he felt safe for a moment. The scent of seasoned tomato sauce brought some childlike emotions as he could see a plate of spaghetti on the counter in front of him. He always has had problems with his mother, but her cooking is the one thing that would make him overlook a lot about her sometimes. For the moment, he couldn't remember why he even left as he grabbed the plate with his free hand. His mother stayed silent as she kept stirring the pot, not paying him any mind at all. He was no stranger to her acting like this, they would fight and act like nothing happened the next day until she needed to bring it up again to win an argument later. Nothing good was going to come up if he tried to speak to her. Stephan just took his food and left the kitchen quietly before she snapped.


Heading back to the stairs, he glanced back at the kitchen as he walked up the steps. He couldn't help but feel like she was going to blow up any moment now. The memory of the nightmare wasn't helping him. He was always taller than her but the fear of her words always made him feel small. He thought about getting thrown out like in the nightmare, but would she really do it? He finally made it to his room and shut the door behind him. Leaning on the door he examined his surroundings, the bed was made and the router was back where it was, albeit not plugged in. She did it again, she cleaned his room and tried to make him feel like he was at fault. He shook his head and placed the plate on the windowsill. Trying to not think about his mom, he pushed the computer chair to the window thinking more about tomorrow. Sitting down he could see the snow falling outside as the towel clung to his body. Soon he was going to get closer to Tazri and he couldn't help but kick his feet in excitement. Grabbing the fork and twirling up some spaghetti he bit the noodles off the fork,  sucking up the rest that was dangling off the fork. The sweet taste of the sauce-soaked pasta made him gush. He couldn't keep a bad mood while eating this.


“Tío Luis should be able to understand I brought someone over just trying to win a girl's heart.”


He could only think of Tazri and him, frolicking with those same bunnies as he ate his pasta.
