terms. Together with these three, I have been starting to really enjoy myself. Get comfortable, go out with them into bars and clubs on some of the many stops we took on the way through space. Over this time I have been very active! My prosthetic had a few new functions, I replicated those portable force-field generators with my slightly improved version, so every one of us had one available. They weren't clunky either, since I could just integrate them right into their armor. Though we didn't actually get any jobs over the time either.\nJey expressed how she was glad to have taken me along at one point. … To be fair, she was drunk, but still. Though I did find out a thing that made me skeptical about my choice of clothing after all. … Rorik was gay. I never really expressed sexual interest in anyone, so I dunno how I stand to that exactly at the time, but it sure gave me a reason not to be so easy on what I show and what I don't...\n\nThough the time out in space was boring, it offered me plenty time to play games and work on my tech. By now, the sweeping drone had been upgraded into a full fetched maid-drone. Cleaning everything, able to operate the doors to get into any room that it isn't programmed to ignore and so on. It did once try to clean up Tarry after he had been soaked in drinks from multiple girls in a club, so I had to make sure it wouldn't just “attack” any of us for being dirty for one reason or another. Mildly amusing event I must say.\nMy main focus at the time, was to find ways to improve the force-field generator some more. I had added more layers, so there were four now. This increased it's stability to take on two whole rpg hits before failing. Small and weak weaponry would have more trouble getting through, but once it depleted, it would be hard to regenerate that much energy. It was not a option to fix that either. Either reliability, or regenerative aspects. And I think if they could handle themselves without a force-field for this long, they gonna learn how to make use of this only when necessary and wont waste it.\n\nAs I was working, one morning while I was sitting at the table in the gathering-room, Jey suddenly came out of the cockpit and seemed rather mad. She headed right for the big screen, trying to check the ship's status.\n“Great, engine died... Seems something broke and now it wont turn on again!” she complained, grumbling.\n“Engine? … Is the next station or planet nearby?” I replied, wondering.\n“No, not at all! That's the problem. Its gonna take ages to get in range to request some repairs. Not to mention expensive out in space. Ugh, I hope this is not gonna take too long...”\n“Didn't we just pass a random rock-planet?”\n“Percy, if we get into a atmosphere like this, the thing may just outright blow up on us, break more than one engine and leaves us stranded there.”\n“... True... I gonna be in my room.” I said, picking my generator and heading out to my room.\n“H-hey! Im sorry if I sound angry, but I am!” she called after me.\nThough I didn't actually mind what she said. It was more that I wanted to think about if I could perhaps repair it.\n\nThe problems were huge though. Space! Vacuum. Radiation. Even high tech space suits were not easy to come by and we didn't have any. So what could I do about it? … Well...\nUsing the info from the ship-logs and info, I know I can repair it. But I need to survive too! At first, I thought a drone must be the solution! But … that would take forever to figure out and program. I have not done remote controlled drones yet. The interest was there! But other things tend to have been more important.\nSome more thinking later and eventually it was clear to me what to do!\n\nUsing electromagnetic technology, I added another layer to my shield generator. … It would simply be the bases for what I had in mind. This layer was designed to block radiation specifically. With some fiddling, I may find a answer.\nAbout as week later, I could tell, the others got rather tense from being stuck in space with little to do. I guess I was fine, simply just because I had this stuff to think about and work on. Of course, there was no taking a break on my part either. Soon after, I made it so the force-field kept in air and sustains a normal pressure, as well as generally isolates from the harsh temperatures of space. This was a lot of specifics, so I had to make it a separate function. While the barrier would block space-rubble, it would not sustain active fire and notable explosions this way. \n\nWhen no one was checking, I sneaked into the air lock a bunch of times. There I would test the thing in a vacuum. Mostly, it worked. But one thing I quickly noticed, is that the adaption to surfaces, as in, when I get against the wall, would make the force-field inconsistent and I nearly ran out of air just from testing.\nThis was a notable roadblock, because I had to rework this, or I wouldn't be able to get close enough to the machinery to fix the problem. I may have a solution, but that was very frustrating to figgure out...\n\nAfter the last test though, someone caught me as I got back out. … Rorik. I knew he was always up much earlier than Tarry and Jey, so I should have known...\n“Oi, Percy. You know the airlock isn't a place to just hang out in. Its for safety reasons that it is locked by Jey whenever we aren't in some safe place. … Wait, how did you get in there?” he asked, somewhat skeptical upon realizing that I got in regardless of any locking function.\n“Sorry, I know how the ship works... Tell Jey if you like, but I do this for a good reason.” I explained to him, moving up next to the table. Though the hyena was not happy about it: “What reason? Risking your safety for some upgrade or something?”\n“Actually, I work on the generator so the force-field can keep me safe in space without the need for a space-suit.” I said, not thinking too much about it. The shock on his face just moments later was very telling though as he suddenly grabbed me and pulled me almost reflexively against himself. I pretty much fell onto Rorik, considering he was sitting. “The hell?! Are you crazy?! Space is fucking rough, dude! Ya gonna get dragged out into nothing, Percy.” he returned in a hectic fashion.\nThe hyena's grasp on me was quite tight, I could hardly move and squirming just ended up putting me more onto his lap in the process. Eventually I grumbled in frustration. Both, to his worries, as well as his grasp on me.”\n“Rorik! I am not a kid, I can handle myself! Technology is there to solve problems like space. Why else are we out here in the middle of nowhere? … Also you are hurting my back.”\nHe blinked, realizing he was holding on to me quite rough. Though his grasp was getting a little more loose, Rorik didn't let go of me entirely. “Uh … sorry. Fuck, your fur is soft... A-Anyway! I wont let you put yourself in danger regardless! We can just wait this out and stuff, no need to risk anything.” the hyena replied. By now, he was more or less putting me in his lap on purpose. The guy got entirely hung up with my fur, I swear...\n“Rorik...” I simply started, hoping he would notice. He froze for a moment, noticing his actions: “Hm? … O-Oh, sure...” That said, he let go of me and I could move back to the side of the table. But I could tell he was still starring. … This was the first time he showed this kind of interest. Rorik then let out a sigh: “I'm sorry, you probably aren't even into guys and I just … grab onto you like that. Must be weird. I just dun wanna have you risk anything. That would have been such a simple thing to prevent if something goes wrong after all and I could not forgive myself for that”\nTo some, this may look very unusual for the hyena. But actually, he was a real softy if he didn't hate you. A little impulsive maybe, but he let go when you mention it. … Well, this WAS the first time, he showed that much distraction though.\n“First of: … I never thought of sexual things so far... Secondly: It is my job to repair and invent things. Not to mention, I have backup plans for anything. For one, I use the same cables to keep myself connected to the ship as anyone with a suit would. I know what I am doing...”\n\nIt was a moment of silence, but the hyena's expression showed me there was no hope in convincing him. This was annoying, but I thought, I just got to do it sneaky then. So I gave in. But … the hyena was not dumb!\nNext morning when I left the room, who did I find in the gathering room, up much earlier than expected? … Rorik once again! Tarry and Jey were on his side sadly. They weren't fine with me risking such things.\n“Morning, sneaky boy! Not leaving this place unattained with a stubborn wolfo on board.” he greeted me with a almost mocking grin. I left my arms hanging and just groaned in annoyance, rolling my eyes as I walked over to tell him my opinion: “Rorik, I do not appreciate your attempts to hold me back! Maybe you have good motivations, but it still prolongs this situation! You gonna have to sleep eventually...”\nMe, getting all face to face with him didn't seem to have much of a effect though as his grin turned into a full on smug smirk: “We got to see about that! I certainly will try. Gotta tell you, I can keep it up for a while. … Though if I have to find a way to keep you away from the shutter, I have a few ideas.”\n“That would be?” I asked, raising a brow at him, skeptical. Moments later though, I could feel slap! … Not to my face or anything … but my rear. Eyes wide and a tiny blush on my face, I grumbled moments after realizing it. He was gonna try to be a pervert to keep me from trying anything while he is out here, or maybe even to keep me in my room. Too bad, I didn't hate him anymore...: “That's not gonna work...”\nHe was mildly surprised and put one on top by lifting me into his lap with that firm grip on my ass. Sure, he was most likely having his fun with this method too, but I had my goals and wouldnt back down that easily.\n“Is that how low you wanna sink? Groping me into discomfort?” I asked, crossing my arms as I was just sitting there on his lap, raising a brow.\n“Heh, I would! Very much so! Not much I wouldn't do to keep my friends safe, but … this seems to be more of a problem for me than you already...” he said, his face red as a tomato and looking away in embarrassment. Sure enough, it easy to see that bulge in his pants. I just rolled my eyes once again, before getting off of his lap. Maybe I should wear the shorts on the ship too now...\n“You gotta take care of that yourself.” I just said, heading out of the room.\n“Sure, and leave you the chance to do your thing, eh? Nope!”\n\nTo make it clear, I felt nothing negative from this. I grew to like Rorik over the last weeks and its more than obvious he feels no different. I am not that sensitive about things. I would slap a stranger across the face for touching me, but friends? Whatever really. I have my limits and I gonna tell em if needed. Though I must admit, the feel of him being into me that way was a little new...\nBack in my room, I of course thought about it regardless. … But eventually, it was obvious. … I gonna keep it up. He will get too sleepy eventually, or grow too needy to keep watch.\n\nAll the time I spent in my room, I worked on the shape of the generated force-field. It took a few hours of straight trial and error, until I finally figured out what to do to change it! Activating the force-field would now cover my body in a adjusting layer. It fit itself to the shape of the user perfectly! Though my prosthetic was not covered, that turned out to be a useful side-effect. I wouldn't be able to weld if it covered the welder configuration too.\n\nThough my “fight” with Rorik went on for a bit longer than it took to solve the space issues. Each morning, I intentionally dressed in the tight boxer and shirt. Every time it was the same thing. Casual chat and teasing. He gave up on the attempt to creep me away, but at this point, I was using that part of him as a weakness and turned the idea around on him. Sure enough, he once told me to leave him alone. Some of the teasing even happened when Tarry and Jey were around, embarrassing him a little. I didn't actually do anything lewd or suggestive directly. Just sitting on the table while messing with some tech, stretching a bit perhaps... You know, those small things. I don't doubt he had a good view of my butt a few times. Maybe he will leave me alone eventually. I could tell he was cracking up.\nThe next day, I was hearing some noise from his room when I got up. I thought, maybe he finally gave up and “took care” of his problems I caused. Too bad, I had put on the white versions of my clothes that made me look almost naked, to give him that finisher. Though as soon as I entered doorway to the gathering-room, a door opened behind me. … It sure was the hyena. His gaze and mine met as we froze. Both of us knowing I was gonna try to abuse the moment. Though now that I was caught, I knew he was gonna be annoyed at me and so I ripped myself out of the frozen state, rushing into the main room. But it was pointless. He could easily get me out of the airlock in time.\n\nIn the middle of the room, I stopped, letting out a sigh and turning to face him, arms crossed. He did the same just a arm length away from me.\n“Percy... stop it already...” he said, very stern, but notably exhausted.\n“You are not doing yourself a favor staying up like that, Rorik. … I was so close to getting out... I thought you were getting off or something.” I teased, but realized quickly the guy ran out of humor.\n“Look, I have no energy left for this. Please, Percy. Just don't, ok? The fear of you going out there would keep me awake even if I tried to sleep and let you do so. You are like a friend to me, a little brother even in a way!” he explained, sounding awfully sincere all things considered.\n“You get a boner when touching your little brother?” I countered, knowing exactly that was gonna get to him.\n“H-hey, thats not what I meant! … S-Shut up, Percy, you know how hard it is for me to stay up like this? Your teasing and attempts to make it even more difficult is torture to me.”\nNot gonna lie, hearing this … I felt kinda bad. Not saying anything for a moment, I eventually groaned again in annoyance, plopping down on the couch. Taking the few steps closer, the hyena joined me, sitting right next to me and putting his arm around me.\n“You are quite a devious guy, dude... I start of, trying to be a creep and here you are, literally torturing me with the thing I used against you. Not as innocent as one would think.”\n“Your fault for being into me like that... I am not even that interesting. … I don't think of you as a creep anyway. I like you after all.” I pointed out with my typical cold attitude.\n“You joking? With those clothes, I can tell just how great of a ass you have, bud! Don't get me wrong, you are my bud, my friend. But if you were into me, hell yea I would go to town on ya.” Rorik said, laughing about his own statement.\n“Pff, tell me that in front of the others for me to believe it.”\n“I wouldn't dare show that in front of Tarry or Jey... Not because its a problem, but … uhm … it would be embarrassing to me...”\n“Really? Embarrassed because you like me?”\n“Look, we are talking about liking you in a sexual way, alright? And because of your teasing, I gonna have a stroke at some point!” he said, pointing out once again that I was teasing him too much.\nPerhaps he was right, that's a bit much teasing. But for now, that didn't matter. It was very early, so … I just relaxed with him then and there.\n“... Sorry about that by the way. … Am I turning you on that much?” I asked, looking up at him. Our eyes meeting soon after as he looked at me too, chuckling: “More than I like to admit. Being sleepy limits my awareness of how much I'm starring too after all.”\n\nBy now, I was coming up with ideas that I wasn't proud of. … I got a plan on how to solve all this. Make up things to Rorik, as well as get him “out of the way” for my job. … Well, it was simple enough...\n“... You want to sleep with me, don't you?”\nIf I was giving him what he wanted, because lets be honest, that's totally what he wants, he cant say I didn't make up for all the teasing at least! And with how tired he is, there was no way he wouldn't pass out from sex. … Of course, I was not exactly confident going this route. I was a virgin and am not exactly a girl, so … if things happened, it was gonna go quite … tight places. In responds to my question, Rorik only chuckled, mildly embarrassed by the look of it, as he scratched the back of his head. “Uh … I mean. Yea, I do. Though dun get the wrong idea! You are just hella cute to me, dude. And you don't hide much from me either, so I can say for sure I want some of that ass...” he answered, straight to the point and honest. Though I could tell he felt bad about it, Rorik also was clearly not awake enough to really think much about anything either.\n“Quite naughty to think about me that way...” I started, but then proceeded to lean against him, right hand on his thighs, “too bad you are too sleepy. What if I said yes and it turns out to be a dream?”\nYea, I sucked at flirting, especially since I kept a straight face and tone during all of it.\n“Gosh, shut it, Percy... I have hardly any restraint right now.” he said, looking away. Face bright red since he could tell I was teasing him.\n“... Maybe you should practice then?”\n“I'm tired, damn it! Usually that's not a problem!” he replied a lot louder. So loud in fact, I had to shush him with my finger in his lips: “Shh, you gonna wake the others. … Don't you get what I'm trying to hint at?”\nIt took a moment, but his eyes went wide as he eventually put one and one together: “O-ohh! … You mean you … but wouldn't it be your first?”\nI simply shrugged, raising a brow at him: “And? I tortured you a whole bunch, its just fair that I struggle a little...”\nCertainly, it felt naughty to say those things. I never been a lewd individual, but hey. How bad could it be? People pay for that stuff, so it cant be that bad.\n\nRorik considered for a short while, rubbing my back with his left paw, but eventually he put on a cheeky grin, peaking down at me: “I gonna ruin ya, boyo~ … Carefully of course!” Hearing that sure made my heart race a bit. Its not like it left me entirely cold to be doing such things for the first time. Throwing the hyena a cocked brow and a brief smirk for a change, I got up and stretched a little, heading to the door. Rorik grabbed on to my fluffy tail, making sure I didn't get too far away from him as he followed. Together we vanished into my room. Doors locked and … well, did you expect I tell you everything? … No...\n\nFollowing was a … admittedly incredible time. For a tough pent up dude, I would have expected my first time to be a rough one, but he went for the gentle and caring approach instead. Perhaps he was too sleepy? But yes, … we went through with it. I hate to say it, but I liked it quite a lot actually. … Even though my butt hurts...\nOnce we were done, my plan worked out perfectly! Unable to focus from the sex and overwhelmed by his exhaustion, the hyena fell asleep. Finally! Still feels somewhat bad to have abused this for such purpose, but … hey, we weren't a couple. Though it was quite a piece of work to get out from under him. Especially since he didn't even bother pulling out... That's as much info as you perverts gonna get by the way.\nWith enough care and effort, I eventually got out from under Rorik though, without waking him up. Doubt it was gonna be easy to do so anyway. He was out cold. My legs still a little wobbly, I grabbed the shorts as I had little time to waste.\n\nThe force-field generator on my arm, some tools on my belt and without a shirt, I headed right for the air-lock. Of course, testing came first. If these techs weren't working reliably, I wasn't gonna risk anything. Though everything worked just as intended. Fixing the cables on my belt, which was not gonna slip off or break by any means, I hit the button and went out!\nNow, I didn't expect the ship to let off a siren of sorts, but it did. This was bad! Most likely, I was gonna be waking up the others with that... Though I had not that much time to waste anyway. The air reserves were not exactly big thanks to the body-adjusting shields. I looked like I was covered in black balloons from the outside, because of the radiation protection, as I maneuvered along the ships exterior. Not as difficult if there were plenty spots to hold on to and you weigh basically nothing. I was at the broken engine in no time. Opening up the plate on the side of it, I went to work!\n\nSpace … it was truly fascinating I must say. Through the windows, you dont get to really … feel it. No matter where I looked: Space. The vast emptiness and … beauty of it. There was a nebula not far away and from the position, we could even see the spiral of the galaxy we were in. The tadpole galaxy was a pretty case, you know? The name was there for a reason, as it resembled it's namesake. My home was somewhere in the tail of it. In fact, this view reminded me of home... In the night, with no light pollution, you can see the beauty of this galaxy without any tools... Anyway, I get carried away. Back to the Engine.\n\nIt was a bit of welding to do. A lot of physical damage and so on. Turns out, the pieces were rather fucked up. But I could fix it! Though it would need a proper repair once we get somewhere to do so. But for now, I repaired it enough to safely get to the next planet or station. I was so glad my prosthetic was so reliable. I am sure, if we weren't in space, where sound couldn't be transferred, Jey had already paraded me with how I better get back right now... Well, I was done! So I did just that. With the help of the cable, everything went smooth on my way back in and the ramp of the ship closed once I was back inside. The air filling the lock, I disabled the generator and … got ready for the complaints.\n\nStepping out of the air lock, I saw Jey, Tarry and even Rorik stand there. … It took a poke from the cat's elbow for Tarry to actually put on a less pleased expression. I just sighed, shrugging with my hand waving dismissively: “Go ahead...”\nJey grumbled a little: “The fuck are you doing?! You realize that it was a ORDER that you wait this out! You have to listen to what I say, Percy!”\n“Indeed, and you really disappointed me a lot too, you know?” Rorik added, only wearing his briefs. Though Jey then beamed over at him, directing her anger at him: “You are no better, Rorik! You said you would make sure he wont get out there, no matter what. You have stayed vigilant much longer on multiple occasions!”\nNow, getting yelled at for this, I deserved. I did not follow her orders or any pleas from Rorik and Tarry, but to have the hyena now be the target of the blame was rubbing me the wrong way. It was my fault, not his. “Leave Rorik out of this, its not his fault! … I am not kidding, he did all he could. If I didn't … do something, he would have never failed to stop me. Blame me, lock me in my room for a day or whatever or don't give me lunch, I dun care, I take the punishment. But Rorik didn't do anything wrong.” I explained, drawing the blame off of the hyena.\n“What?” was all the feline could bring out in confusion, before Tarry jumped right in: “OH! What did ya do?! Knock him out? Played a lullaby? Not that any of those work on that rock-head...”\nRorik blushed, growling at the fox: “S-shut it, that's none of your business!”\nGrowing sick of the fighting, I walked past Tarry and Rorik, as straight faced as usual: “Even you said you found me to be cute, Tarry. I just made use of that, ok? Now, mind if I go to bed? The engine works again and we dun have to waste time out here in the middle of nowhere. I feel like my legs are gonna fall off for some reason...”\nHonestly, I didn't even notice I gave more hints than I wanted at that point. And I didn't care if they caught on to it or not either. Everyone just went silent, until I left the room.\n\nMoments after I got into my room though, the intercom went off. It was Jey, telling me I had to sort the storage and kitchen, as well as prepare the dishwasher over the next few days in punishment. … Though with a thanks for the work at the end regardless. It alone was putting a smile on my face.\nBefore I could get the rest I wanted, Rorik came into the room though, just standing there: “Uhm, Percy? … You just slept with me to knock me out, eh? … I would be mad about that, but … you took the blame off of me too, so … I guess that makes up for it. Still, please don't do that again, ok?”\nI just raised a brow at the hyena: “... So you wont try it again sometime?”\n“Whut? I wont fall for that twice!”\n“Heh … you are my friend, dude. I wont trick you again. … But that doesn't matter I couldn't have enjoyed it, you idiot.” I explained, hoping he would catch on.\n“... F-fucking hell, I gonna keep that in mind! … You bet~”\nThrowing him a smile, as he then left moments later with a chuckle. And with that, I got my rest.\n\nYea I told him I'd do it again with him sometime. I struggle to express myself, guys. On the inside, I am very much normal. I can enjoy sex too! But I cant call myself gay I would say. Nothing visual makes me very aroused so far. Not even seeing him naked, or getting naked with him was doing much. Seems I'm more of a physical individual. But that wasn't that important. I was a little more concerned about the fact, that they did so much to keep me from doing what I had to. I cant be mad at them, because my safety is what they care about, but … some trust in my abilities? Please? Heh, whatever. I gonna refuse orders if I have to. Well, it was just a matter of time until we got to the next station or planet! Nothing to do but relax until then. … And clean up the lewd mess on my sheets...","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>&ldquo;Life&rdquo; in beta testing.<br /><br />Chapter 5<br /><br />It has been a few weeks since Rorik and I got on better terms. Together with these three, I have been starting to really enjoy myself. Get comfortable, go out with them into bars and clubs on some of the many stops we took on the way through space. Over this time I have been very active! My prosthetic had a few new functions, I replicated those portable force-field generators with my slightly improved version, so every one of us had one available. They weren&#039;t clunky either, since I could just integrate them right into their armor. Though we didn&#039;t actually get any jobs over the time either.<br />Jey expressed how she was glad to have taken me along at one point. &hellip; To be fair, she was drunk, but still. Though I did find out a thing that made me skeptical about my choice of clothing after all. &hellip; Rorik was gay. I never really expressed sexual interest in anyone, so I dunno how I stand to that exactly at the time, but it sure gave me a reason not to be so easy on what I show and what I don&#039;t...<br /><br />Though the time out in space was boring, it offered me plenty time to play games and work on my tech. By now, the sweeping drone had been upgraded into a full fetched maid-drone. Cleaning everything, able to operate the doors to get into any room that it isn&#039;t programmed to ignore and so on. It did once try to clean up Tarry after he had been soaked in drinks from multiple girls in a club, so I had to make sure it wouldn&#039;t just &ldquo;attack&rdquo; any of us for being dirty for one reason or another. Mildly amusing event I must say.<br />My main focus at the time, was to find ways to improve the force-field generator some more. I had added more layers, so there were four now. This increased it&#039;s stability to take on two whole rpg hits before failing. Small and weak weaponry would have more trouble getting through, but once it depleted, it would be hard to regenerate that much energy. It was not a option to fix that either. Either reliability, or regenerative aspects. And I think if they could handle themselves without a force-field for this long, they gonna learn how to make use of this only when necessary and wont waste it.<br /><br />As I was working, one morning while I was sitting at the table in the gathering-room, Jey suddenly came out of the cockpit and seemed rather mad. She headed right for the big screen, trying to check the ship&#039;s status.<br />&ldquo;Great, engine died... Seems something broke and now it wont turn on again!&rdquo; she complained, grumbling.<br />&ldquo;Engine? &hellip; Is the next station or planet nearby?&rdquo; I replied, wondering.<br />&ldquo;No, not at all! That&#039;s the problem. Its gonna take ages to get in range to request some repairs. Not to mention expensive out in space. Ugh, I hope this is not gonna take too long...&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Didn&#039;t we just pass a random rock-planet?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Percy, if we get into a atmosphere like this, the thing may just outright blow up on us, break more than one engine and leaves us stranded there.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;... True... I gonna be in my room.&rdquo; I said, picking my generator and heading out to my room.<br />&ldquo;H-hey! Im sorry if I sound angry, but I am!&rdquo; she called after me.<br />Though I didn&#039;t actually mind what she said. It was more that I wanted to think about if I could perhaps repair it.<br /><br />The problems were huge though. Space! Vacuum. Radiation. Even high tech space suits were not easy to come by and we didn&#039;t have any. So what could I do about it? &hellip; Well...<br />Using the info from the ship-logs and info, I know I can repair it. But I need to survive too! At first, I thought a drone must be the solution! But &hellip; that would take forever to figure out and program. I have not done remote controlled drones yet. The interest was there! But other things tend to have been more important.<br />Some more thinking later and eventually it was clear to me what to do!<br /><br />Using electromagnetic technology, I added another layer to my shield generator. &hellip; It would simply be the bases for what I had in mind. This layer was designed to block radiation specifically. With some fiddling, I may find a answer.<br />About as week later, I could tell, the others got rather tense from being stuck in space with little to do. I guess I was fine, simply just because I had this stuff to think about and work on. Of course, there was no taking a break on my part either. Soon after, I made it so the force-field kept in air and sustains a normal pressure, as well as generally isolates from the harsh temperatures of space. This was a lot of specifics, so I had to make it a separate function. While the barrier would block space-rubble, it would not sustain active fire and notable explosions this way. <br /><br />When no one was checking, I sneaked into the air lock a bunch of times. There I would test the thing in a vacuum. Mostly, it worked. But one thing I quickly noticed, is that the adaption to surfaces, as in, when I get against the wall, would make the force-field inconsistent and I nearly ran out of air just from testing.<br />This was a notable roadblock, because I had to rework this, or I wouldn&#039;t be able to get close enough to the machinery to fix the problem. I may have a solution, but that was very frustrating to figgure out...<br /><br />After the last test though, someone caught me as I got back out. &hellip; Rorik. I knew he was always up much earlier than Tarry and Jey, so I should have known...<br />&ldquo;Oi, Percy. You know the airlock isn&#039;t a place to just hang out in. Its for safety reasons that it is locked by Jey whenever we aren&#039;t in some safe place. &hellip; Wait, how did you get in there?&rdquo; he asked, somewhat skeptical upon realizing that I got in regardless of any locking function.<br />&ldquo;Sorry, I know how the ship works... Tell Jey if you like, but I do this for a good reason.&rdquo; I explained to him, moving up next to the table. Though the hyena was not happy about it: &ldquo;What reason? Risking your safety for some upgrade or something?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Actually, I work on the generator so the force-field can keep me safe in space without the need for a space-suit.&rdquo; I said, not thinking too much about it. The shock on his face just moments later was very telling though as he suddenly grabbed me and pulled me almost reflexively against himself. I pretty much fell onto Rorik, considering he was sitting. &ldquo;The hell?! Are you crazy?! Space is fucking rough, dude! Ya gonna get dragged out into nothing, Percy.&rdquo; he returned in a hectic fashion.<br />The hyena&#039;s grasp on me was quite tight, I could hardly move and squirming just ended up putting me more onto his lap in the process. Eventually I grumbled in frustration. Both, to his worries, as well as his grasp on me.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Rorik! I am not a kid, I can handle myself! Technology is there to solve problems like space. Why else are we out here in the middle of nowhere? &hellip; Also you are hurting my back.&rdquo;<br />He blinked, realizing he was holding on to me quite rough. Though his grasp was getting a little more loose, Rorik didn&#039;t let go of me entirely. &ldquo;Uh &hellip; sorry. Fuck, your fur is soft... A-Anyway! I wont let you put yourself in danger regardless! We can just wait this out and stuff, no need to risk anything.&rdquo; the hyena replied. By now, he was more or less putting me in his lap on purpose. The guy got entirely hung up with my fur, I swear...<br />&ldquo;Rorik...&rdquo; I simply started, hoping he would notice. He froze for a moment, noticing his actions: &ldquo;Hm? &hellip; O-Oh, sure...&rdquo; That said, he let go of me and I could move back to the side of the table. But I could tell he was still starring. &hellip; This was the first time he showed this kind of interest. Rorik then let out a sigh: &ldquo;I&#039;m sorry, you probably aren&#039;t even into guys and I just &hellip; grab onto you like that. Must be weird. I just dun wanna have you risk anything. That would have been such a simple thing to prevent if something goes wrong after all and I could not forgive myself for that&rdquo;<br />To some, this may look very unusual for the hyena. But actually, he was a real softy if he didn&#039;t hate you. A little impulsive maybe, but he let go when you mention it. &hellip; Well, this WAS the first time, he showed that much distraction though.<br />&ldquo;First of: &hellip; I never thought of sexual things so far... Secondly: It is my job to repair and invent things. Not to mention, I have backup plans for anything. For one, I use the same cables to keep myself connected to the ship as anyone with a suit would. I know what I am doing...&rdquo;<br /><br />It was a moment of silence, but the hyena&#039;s expression showed me there was no hope in convincing him. This was annoying, but I thought, I just got to do it sneaky then. So I gave in. But &hellip; the hyena was not dumb!<br />Next morning when I left the room, who did I find in the gathering room, up much earlier than expected? &hellip; Rorik once again! Tarry and Jey were on his side sadly. They weren&#039;t fine with me risking such things.<br />&ldquo;Morning, sneaky boy! Not leaving this place unattained with a stubborn wolfo on board.&rdquo; he greeted me with a almost mocking grin. I left my arms hanging and just groaned in annoyance, rolling my eyes as I walked over to tell him my opinion: &ldquo;Rorik, I do not appreciate your attempts to hold me back! Maybe you have good motivations, but it still prolongs this situation! You gonna have to sleep eventually...&rdquo;<br />Me, getting all face to face with him didn&#039;t seem to have much of a effect though as his grin turned into a full on smug smirk: &ldquo;We got to see about that! I certainly will try. Gotta tell you, I can keep it up for a while. &hellip; Though if I have to find a way to keep you away from the shutter, I have a few ideas.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;That would be?&rdquo; I asked, raising a brow at him, skeptical. Moments later though, I could feel slap! &hellip; Not to my face or anything &hellip; but my rear. Eyes wide and a tiny blush on my face, I grumbled moments after realizing it. He was gonna try to be a pervert to keep me from trying anything while he is out here, or maybe even to keep me in my room. Too bad, I didn&#039;t hate him anymore...: &ldquo;That&#039;s not gonna work...&rdquo;<br />He was mildly surprised and put one on top by lifting me into his lap with that firm grip on my ass. Sure, he was most likely having his fun with this method too, but I had my goals and wouldnt back down that easily.<br />&ldquo;Is that how low you wanna sink? Groping me into discomfort?&rdquo; I asked, crossing my arms as I was just sitting there on his lap, raising a brow.<br />&ldquo;Heh, I would! Very much so! Not much I wouldn&#039;t do to keep my friends safe, but &hellip; this seems to be more of a problem for me than you already...&rdquo; he said, his face red as a tomato and looking away in embarrassment. Sure enough, it easy to see that bulge in his pants. I just rolled my eyes once again, before getting off of his lap. Maybe I should wear the shorts on the ship too now...<br />&ldquo;You gotta take care of that yourself.&rdquo; I just said, heading out of the room.<br />&ldquo;Sure, and leave you the chance to do your thing, eh? Nope!&rdquo;<br /><br />To make it clear, I felt nothing negative from this. I grew to like Rorik over the last weeks and its more than obvious he feels no different. I am not that sensitive about things. I would slap a stranger across the face for touching me, but friends? Whatever really. I have my limits and I gonna tell em if needed. Though I must admit, the feel of him being into me that way was a little new...<br />Back in my room, I of course thought about it regardless. &hellip; But eventually, it was obvious. &hellip; I gonna keep it up. He will get too sleepy eventually, or grow too needy to keep watch.<br /><br />All the time I spent in my room, I worked on the shape of the generated force-field. It took a few hours of straight trial and error, until I finally figured out what to do to change it! Activating the force-field would now cover my body in a adjusting layer. It fit itself to the shape of the user perfectly! Though my prosthetic was not covered, that turned out to be a useful side-effect. I wouldn&#039;t be able to weld if it covered the welder configuration too.<br /><br />Though my &ldquo;fight&rdquo; with Rorik went on for a bit longer than it took to solve the space issues. Each morning, I intentionally dressed in the tight boxer and shirt. Every time it was the same thing. Casual chat and teasing. He gave up on the attempt to creep me away, but at this point, I was using that part of him as a weakness and turned the idea around on him. Sure enough, he once told me to leave him alone. Some of the teasing even happened when Tarry and Jey were around, embarrassing him a little. I didn&#039;t actually do anything lewd or suggestive directly. Just sitting on the table while messing with some tech, stretching a bit perhaps... You know, those small things. I don&#039;t doubt he had a good view of my butt a few times. Maybe he will leave me alone eventually. I could tell he was cracking up.<br />The next day, I was hearing some noise from his room when I got up. I thought, maybe he finally gave up and &ldquo;took care&rdquo; of his problems I caused. Too bad, I had put on the white versions of my clothes that made me look almost naked, to give him that finisher. Though as soon as I entered doorway to the gathering-room, a door opened behind me. &hellip; It sure was the hyena. His gaze and mine met as we froze. Both of us knowing I was gonna try to abuse the moment. Though now that I was caught, I knew he was gonna be annoyed at me and so I ripped myself out of the frozen state, rushing into the main room. But it was pointless. He could easily get me out of the airlock in time.<br /><br />In the middle of the room, I stopped, letting out a sigh and turning to face him, arms crossed. He did the same just a arm length away from me.<br />&ldquo;Percy... stop it already...&rdquo; he said, very stern, but notably exhausted.<br />&ldquo;You are not doing yourself a favor staying up like that, Rorik. &hellip; I was so close to getting out... I thought you were getting off or something.&rdquo; I teased, but realized quickly the guy ran out of humor.<br />&ldquo;Look, I have no energy left for this. Please, Percy. Just don&#039;t, ok? The fear of you going out there would keep me awake even if I tried to sleep and let you do so. You are like a friend to me, a little brother even in a way!&rdquo; he explained, sounding awfully sincere all things considered.<br />&ldquo;You get a boner when touching your little brother?&rdquo; I countered, knowing exactly that was gonna get to him.<br />&ldquo;H-hey, thats not what I meant! &hellip; S-Shut up, Percy, you know how hard it is for me to stay up like this? Your teasing and attempts to make it even more difficult is torture to me.&rdquo;<br />Not gonna lie, hearing this &hellip; I felt kinda bad. Not saying anything for a moment, I eventually groaned again in annoyance, plopping down on the couch. Taking the few steps closer, the hyena joined me, sitting right next to me and putting his arm around me.<br />&ldquo;You are quite a devious guy, dude... I start of, trying to be a creep and here you are, literally torturing me with the thing I used against you. Not as innocent as one would think.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Your fault for being into me like that... I am not even that interesting. &hellip; I don&#039;t think of you as a creep anyway. I like you after all.&rdquo; I pointed out with my typical cold attitude.<br />&ldquo;You joking? With those clothes, I can tell just how great of a ass you have, bud! Don&#039;t get me wrong, you are my bud, my friend. But if you were into me, hell yea I would go to town on ya.&rdquo; Rorik said, laughing about his own statement.<br />&ldquo;Pff, tell me that in front of the others for me to believe it.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;I wouldn&#039;t dare show that in front of Tarry or Jey... Not because its a problem, but &hellip; uhm &hellip; it would be embarrassing to me...&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Really? Embarrassed because you like me?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Look, we are talking about liking you in a sexual way, alright? And because of your teasing, I gonna have a stroke at some point!&rdquo; he said, pointing out once again that I was teasing him too much.<br />Perhaps he was right, that&#039;s a bit much teasing. But for now, that didn&#039;t matter. It was very early, so &hellip; I just relaxed with him then and there.<br />&ldquo;... Sorry about that by the way. &hellip; Am I turning you on that much?&rdquo; I asked, looking up at him. Our eyes meeting soon after as he looked at me too, chuckling: &ldquo;More than I like to admit. Being sleepy limits my awareness of how much I&#039;m starring too after all.&rdquo;<br /><br />By now, I was coming up with ideas that I wasn&#039;t proud of. &hellip; I got a plan on how to solve all this. Make up things to Rorik, as well as get him &ldquo;out of the way&rdquo; for my job. &hellip; Well, it was simple enough...<br />&ldquo;... You want to sleep with me, don&#039;t you?&rdquo;<br />If I was giving him what he wanted, because lets be honest, that&#039;s totally what he wants, he cant say I didn&#039;t make up for all the teasing at least! And with how tired he is, there was no way he wouldn&#039;t pass out from sex. &hellip; Of course, I was not exactly confident going this route. I was a virgin and am not exactly a girl, so &hellip; if things happened, it was gonna go quite &hellip; tight places. In responds to my question, Rorik only chuckled, mildly embarrassed by the look of it, as he scratched the back of his head. &ldquo;Uh &hellip; I mean. Yea, I do. Though dun get the wrong idea! You are just hella cute to me, dude. And you don&#039;t hide much from me either, so I can say for sure I want some of that ass...&rdquo; he answered, straight to the point and honest. Though I could tell he felt bad about it, Rorik also was clearly not awake enough to really think much about anything either.<br />&ldquo;Quite naughty to think about me that way...&rdquo; I started, but then proceeded to lean against him, right hand on his thighs, &ldquo;too bad you are too sleepy. What if I said yes and it turns out to be a dream?&rdquo;<br />Yea, I sucked at flirting, especially since I kept a straight face and tone during all of it.<br />&ldquo;Gosh, shut it, Percy... I have hardly any restraint right now.&rdquo; he said, looking away. Face bright red since he could tell I was teasing him.<br />&ldquo;... Maybe you should practice then?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;I&#039;m tired, damn it! Usually that&#039;s not a problem!&rdquo; he replied a lot louder. So loud in fact, I had to shush him with my finger in his lips: &ldquo;Shh, you gonna wake the others. &hellip; Don&#039;t you get what I&#039;m trying to hint at?&rdquo;<br />It took a moment, but his eyes went wide as he eventually put one and one together: &ldquo;O-ohh! &hellip; You mean you &hellip; but wouldn&#039;t it be your first?&rdquo;<br />I simply shrugged, raising a brow at him: &ldquo;And? I tortured you a whole bunch, its just fair that I struggle a little...&rdquo;<br />Certainly, it felt naughty to say those things. I never been a lewd individual, but hey. How bad could it be? People pay for that stuff, so it cant be that bad.<br /><br />Rorik considered for a short while, rubbing my back with his left paw, but eventually he put on a cheeky grin, peaking down at me: &ldquo;I gonna ruin ya, boyo~ &hellip; Carefully of course!&rdquo; Hearing that sure made my heart race a bit. Its not like it left me entirely cold to be doing such things for the first time. Throwing the hyena a cocked brow and a brief smirk for a change, I got up and stretched a little, heading to the door. Rorik grabbed on to my fluffy tail, making sure I didn&#039;t get too far away from him as he followed. Together we vanished into my room. Doors locked and &hellip; well, did you expect I tell you everything? &hellip; No...<br /><br />Following was a &hellip; admittedly incredible time. For a tough pent up dude, I would have expected my first time to be a rough one, but he went for the gentle and caring approach instead. Perhaps he was too sleepy? But yes, &hellip; we went through with it. I hate to say it, but I liked it quite a lot actually. &hellip; Even though my butt hurts...<br />Once we were done, my plan worked out perfectly! Unable to focus from the sex and overwhelmed by his exhaustion, the hyena fell asleep. Finally! Still feels somewhat bad to have abused this for such purpose, but &hellip; hey, we weren&#039;t a couple. Though it was quite a piece of work to get out from under him. Especially since he didn&#039;t even bother pulling out... That&#039;s as much info as you perverts gonna get by the way.<br />With enough care and effort, I eventually got out from under Rorik though, without waking him up. Doubt it was gonna be easy to do so anyway. He was out cold. My legs still a little wobbly, I grabbed the shorts as I had little time to waste.<br /><br />The force-field generator on my arm, some tools on my belt and without a shirt, I headed right for the air-lock. Of course, testing came first. If these techs weren&#039;t working reliably, I wasn&#039;t gonna risk anything. Though everything worked just as intended. Fixing the cables on my belt, which was not gonna slip off or break by any means, I hit the button and went out!<br />Now, I didn&#039;t expect the ship to let off a siren of sorts, but it did. This was bad! Most likely, I was gonna be waking up the others with that... Though I had not that much time to waste anyway. The air reserves were not exactly big thanks to the body-adjusting shields. I looked like I was covered in black balloons from the outside, because of the radiation protection, as I maneuvered along the ships exterior. Not as difficult if there were plenty spots to hold on to and you weigh basically nothing. I was at the broken engine in no time. Opening up the plate on the side of it, I went to work!<br /><br />Space &hellip; it was truly fascinating I must say. Through the windows, you dont get to really &hellip; feel it. No matter where I looked: Space. The vast emptiness and &hellip; beauty of it. There was a nebula not far away and from the position, we could even see the spiral of the galaxy we were in. The tadpole galaxy was a pretty case, you know? The name was there for a reason, as it resembled it&#039;s namesake. My home was somewhere in the tail of it. In fact, this view reminded me of home... In the night, with no light pollution, you can see the beauty of this galaxy without any tools... Anyway, I get carried away. Back to the Engine.<br /><br />It was a bit of welding to do. A lot of physical damage and so on. Turns out, the pieces were rather fucked up. But I could fix it! Though it would need a proper repair once we get somewhere to do so. But for now, I repaired it enough to safely get to the next planet or station. I was so glad my prosthetic was so reliable. I am sure, if we weren&#039;t in space, where sound couldn&#039;t be transferred, Jey had already paraded me with how I better get back right now... Well, I was done! So I did just that. With the help of the cable, everything went smooth on my way back in and the ramp of the ship closed once I was back inside. The air filling the lock, I disabled the generator and &hellip; got ready for the complaints.<br /><br />Stepping out of the air lock, I saw Jey, Tarry and even Rorik stand there. &hellip; It took a poke from the cat&#039;s elbow for Tarry to actually put on a less pleased expression. I just sighed, shrugging with my hand waving dismissively: &ldquo;Go ahead...&rdquo;<br />Jey grumbled a little: &ldquo;The fuck are you doing?! You realize that it was a ORDER that you wait this out! You have to listen to what I say, Percy!&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Indeed, and you really disappointed me a lot too, you know?&rdquo; Rorik added, only wearing his briefs. Though Jey then beamed over at him, directing her anger at him: &ldquo;You are no better, Rorik! You said you would make sure he wont get out there, no matter what. You have stayed vigilant much longer on multiple occasions!&rdquo;<br />Now, getting yelled at for this, I deserved. I did not follow her orders or any pleas from Rorik and Tarry, but to have the hyena now be the target of the blame was rubbing me the wrong way. It was my fault, not his. &ldquo;Leave Rorik out of this, its not his fault! &hellip; I am not kidding, he did all he could. If I didn&#039;t &hellip; do something, he would have never failed to stop me. Blame me, lock me in my room for a day or whatever or don&#039;t give me lunch, I dun care, I take the punishment. But Rorik didn&#039;t do anything wrong.&rdquo; I explained, drawing the blame off of the hyena.<br />&ldquo;What?&rdquo; was all the feline could bring out in confusion, before Tarry jumped right in: &ldquo;OH! What did ya do?! Knock him out? Played a lullaby? Not that any of those work on that rock-head...&rdquo;<br />Rorik blushed, growling at the fox: &ldquo;S-shut it, that&#039;s none of your business!&rdquo;<br />Growing sick of the fighting, I walked past Tarry and Rorik, as straight faced as usual: &ldquo;Even you said you found me to be cute, Tarry. I just made use of that, ok? Now, mind if I go to bed? The engine works again and we dun have to waste time out here in the middle of nowhere. I feel like my legs are gonna fall off for some reason...&rdquo;<br />Honestly, I didn&#039;t even notice I gave more hints than I wanted at that point. And I didn&#039;t care if they caught on to it or not either. Everyone just went silent, until I left the room.<br /><br />Moments after I got into my room though, the intercom went off. It was Jey, telling me I had to sort the storage and kitchen, as well as prepare the dishwasher over the next few days in punishment. &hellip; Though with a thanks for the work at the end regardless. It alone was putting a smile on my face.<br />Before I could get the rest I wanted, Rorik came into the room though, just standing there: &ldquo;Uhm, Percy? &hellip; You just slept with me to knock me out, eh? &hellip; I would be mad about that, but &hellip; you took the blame off of me too, so &hellip; I guess that makes up for it. Still, please don&#039;t do that again, ok?&rdquo;<br />I just raised a brow at the hyena: &ldquo;... So you wont try it again sometime?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Whut? I wont fall for that twice!&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Heh &hellip; you are my friend, dude. I wont trick you again. &hellip; But that doesn&#039;t matter I couldn&#039;t have enjoyed it, you idiot.&rdquo; I explained, hoping he would catch on.<br />&ldquo;... F-fucking hell, I gonna keep that in mind! &hellip; You bet~&rdquo;<br />Throwing him a smile, as he then left moments later with a chuckle. And with that, I got my rest.<br /><br />Yea I told him I&#039;d do it again with him sometime. I struggle to express myself, guys. On the inside, I am very much normal. I can enjoy sex too! But I cant call myself gay I would say. Nothing visual makes me very aroused so far. Not even seeing him naked, or getting naked with him was doing much. Seems I&#039;m more of a physical individual. But that wasn&#039;t that important. I was a little more concerned about the fact, that they did so much to keep me from doing what I had to. I cant be mad at them, because my safety is what they care about, but &hellip; some trust in my abilities? Please? Heh, whatever. I gonna refuse orders if I have to. Well, it was just a matter of time until we got to the next station or planet! Nothing to do but relax until then. &hellip; And clean up the lewd mess on my sheets...</span>","pools_count":1,"title":"\"Life\" in beta testing. ch.5","deleted":"f","public":"t","mimetype":"application/msword","pagecount":"1","rating_id":"2","rating_name":"Adult","ratings":[{"content_tag_id":"2","name":"Nudity","description":"Nonsexual nudity exposing breasts or genitals (must not show arousal)","rating_id":"1"},{"content_tag_id":"4","name":"Sexual Themes","description":"Erotic imagery, sexual activity or arousal","rating_id":"2"}],"submission_type_id":"12","type_name":"Writing - Document","guest_block":"f","friends_only":"f","comments_count":"0","views":"2","sales_description":null,"forsale":"f","digitalsales":"f","printsales":"f","digital_price":""}
