The next week was a very busy one for Bobby, who, after talking more with Stu and his dad, spent time working with Gideon to figure out the best way to get his things from Huntington to Bunnyburrow. One thing he hadn’t thought much about, though, was exactly how he was going to get there from Huntington. Every trip he’d ever taken there had been through the Zoo.

On this particular day, when he finally had the last of his things packed, he realized he would need to figure something out, because he still felt bad about using the Zoo as a means to do it.

It seemed, however, that he wouldn’t have to worry about it for long. As he was waking up and getting dressed to head downstairs, he heard a familiar voice downstairs, but it was also one that he was surprised to hear, as this particular fur had not visited the Thornbody home in Huntington more than a few times over the years. Once he was dressed and cleaned up, he headed downstairs, seeing his dad talking with Tidus.

“Ah! You’re awake!” Sam looked at him with a smile.

“Yeah, I’m up,” the younger porcupine remarked, chuckling. “Good morning, Dad. And good morning, Tidus. What brings you here?”

“You, actually,” Tidus told him.

Bobby opened his mouth to reply, but he immediately figured out the answer to the question he was about to ask because he just laughed instead. “You’re going to help, aren’t you?”

“Very perceptive, as always, Bobby.” Tidus nodded. “Since you made your feelings clear about not using the Zoo to transport your things to Bunnyburrow, I wanted to come and offer an alternative.” He smiled. When it looked like Bobby was about to comment, Tidus spoke up again. “I support that decision, by the way. The Zoo is meant as a place to get away from your troubles, yes, but it makes me and Theo happy that you didn’t just choose to take advantage of that.”

“I wouldn’t do that anyway. Besides, the Zoo’s magic only works if someone else uses it to help me, right? I wouldn’t be able to get in if I intended to use the magic to make my move easier. That would be selfish.”

Tidus’s smile widened. “Right. That’s why I’m here.”

“You don’t have to do that, Tidus. I can ship it there and just fly.”

“With what money, Bobby? As I understood it from your birthday, you won’t have your own source of income until you start working with Gideon,” Tidus replied with a raised brow.

“That... is a good point,” Bobby replied, rubbing his neck with an embarrassed look on his face. “But still...”

“Bobby, this is something Theo and I talked about for quite some time after you told us that you and your dad began plans to move out of Huntington. We made the same offer for your dad too. Once he has everything handled here, we’ll be helping him get his things to Stu’s house.” Tidus smiled. "We created the Zoo, and you already know we can use our magic separate from the Zoo itself, so we decided that, for all the times you’ve helped everyone there, we wanted to help you.”

Bobby walked over to Tidus and hugged him tightly, which was met with a tight hug in return. “Does Gid know already?”

“Mhm. I told him this morning before coming here. He and Travis are already expecting your stuff to come soon.”

“Mahalo, Tidus. I really appreciate it. It saves a lot of trouble trying to figure stuff out.”

“It’s my pleasure, Bobby. It’ll be nice getting to see you a lot more too.”

Bobby went quiet for a moment, looking at Tidus with a curious expression.

“Bobby? What’s that look for,” the horse asked.

“Tidus, whenever I’ve had fun with you and Theo, you always take me to your room in the Zoo, right?”

Tidus nodded. “Yeah?”

“But since you and Theo both have magic, in theory, that means we could always have fun at your house, correct?”

Tidus smirked a bit and nodded. “Mmhmm.”

“So...” Bobby smirked a bit himself. “Why is it you haven’t let me see the rest of your house yet? Why is your bedroom the only thing you’ve ever let me see?”

Both Tidus and Sam laughed before the horse spoke. “The topic never came up. All you would have ever had to do was ask. Did you only just figure that out?”

“Nah. I’ve had my suspicions about it for a while. You and Theo are almost always there, no matter what time I show up. If it weren’t part of your home, I’d have been curious as to how much time you’d have had to spend getting from here to there. It does make me curious about something else, though.”

“What’s that?”

“You have one exit that leads to the Tri-Burrows, one that leads to Zootopia, and one that leads to Huntington. And none of that even factors in the idea that you’ve used magic to make things work inside the Zoo itself, so how is it that neither of you ever seems exhausted?”

“Heh, I wondered when this question would come up. Truth be told, to make the Zoo do what we wanted it to do was extremely exhausting, but we haven’t had to use magic to improve anything in the Zoo since the day we created it many years ago. Back then, though, we were both quite exhausted when we finished. It took months for us to do it because we would have to stop for days at a time to get our strength back.”

“What made you want to exhaust yourself that much in the first place, though,” Bobby asked.

“It had a lot to do with the fact that Theo and I used to write a lot. And we’d publish what we wrote online. You can probably already guess the content of said writing, and it got so much positive feedback over the years that we decided to try and see if there was a way we could make some of the fantasies we wrote about a reality.”

“And I’m guessing once you finally had the Zoo the way you wanted it, you started sharing how people could find it?”

“Mhm. At first, it was only with close friends. Then they’d share with their friends, who would share with theirs and so on. A few things remained constant, though. Only people who met certain criteria could see or gain access to it. They had to be vore lovers. They had to be non-judgmental of people, regardless of what kinds of things they enjoyed. They had to be okay with interactions with minors. And they had to be of the mindset that nothing learned within the Zoo would be used against someone outside of it. We’ve had a few furs tell us they couldn’t find it, but we just remind them of how to do so.”

Bobby nodded. “Makes sense, though I can’t even imagine how tired you felt doing all that. For what it’s worth, I love the Zoo. It’s a great place, even when I’m not doing anything vore-related.”

“A lot of people tell us that. By the way, though... The door you usually use to travel back here changes based on where the fur that needs it is going. It doesn’t only lead to Huntington.”

Bobby laughs. “I knew that too. I just don’t have any reason to use it to travel anywhere else. There's nowhere else in the US I've ever had any reason to go, and I wouldn’t use it to do that anyway, because, again, that would be selfish. I only use it to get back home, since that’s where I came from.”

“And we’ve noticed you never use the doors to Bunnyburrow or Zootopia unless you have someone with you that specifically wanted you there.”

The porcupine nodded again. “Mmhmm. There’s no reason for me to use the other exits anyway, since, most times, I just meet who I want to chat with here... Anyway, I think we kinda went off-topic, didn’t we?”

“Just a bit, but that’s okay. It’s not as though we were in a hurry,” Tidus replied.

“True.” Bobby looked at his dad. “Can’t believe I’m really doing this.”

“I can. Bobby, from the day I walked into the Zoo seeing you sitting naked in Gideon’s lap, I knew you two would end up living together, eventually. It was just a feeling I had,” Sam told him. “And it’s not like we’re never going to see each other again. Once I get the house sold, I’ll be moving in with Stu.”

“That reminds me... how’s that going? Have you gotten anyone interested?”

Sam nods. “There’s one family that’s thinking about it. They’re supposed to stop by in the next couple of days to see if they like the house.”

“That’s good then, right? It’ll get you to Stu faster,” Bobby remarked with a grin.

Sam couldn’t help chuckling. “Yes. Yes, it will.”

Right then, Bobby’s cell phone rang. Pulling it from his pocket, the porcupine looked at the screen, grinned, and answered it, putting it up to his ear. “Aloha, Travis.”

The ferret on the other end of the phone chuckled. “Hey. How are you?”

“Doing good. Tidus is here, and Dad and I were just chatting about stuff. How are you guys doing?”

“Gid’s pacing back and forth a lot, but other than that, we’re fine.”

“He’s pacing? Is he nervous about something,” Bobby asked, sounding concerned.

“You’re moving in. Of course, he‘s nervous,” Travis told him.

“He’s... not regretting this decision, is he? If he doesn’t want...”

Travis cut him off. “Bobby, stop it. You know perfectly well that Gideon wants you here more than anything in the world. That’s why he’s nervous. He doesn’t want anything to go wrong.”

Bobby gave a relieved sigh. “Right. Well, it’s not going to be too much longer.” He paused and got an evil grin on his face, which both his father and Tidus noticed, and looked at him curiously. “Hey, Travis... Could you do me a favor...”

“Yeah, sure, Bobby. What is it,” the ferret asked.

“Grab Gideon and kiss him good and hard for me.”

“Right now?”

“Yeah. Right now,” the porcupine replied.

“Alright. Give me a second.”

Bobby heard Travis put the phone down and heard some quiet movement. Then, he heard the  sound of a startled fox followed by a grunt, then a moan.

Seconds later, the phone was picked up again, but it was Gideon who spoke. “Bobby?”

“Yeah, Gid?” Bobby bit his lip to suppress a chuckle.

“Why’d ya ask Travis ta kiss me,” the fox asked.

“To calm you down. He said you were nervous and pacing,” the porcupine told him.

“Well, yeah. Ah mean, ah’m finally gettin’ ta have mah mate move in.” He paused, took a breath, then continued. “Our lives are changin’.”

“Yeah, they are. I’m nervous, too, honestly, but I’m also really excited. I can’t wait to see you.”

There were a couple of seconds of silence before the fox spoke up again, but his voice was cracking a bit now. “Ah c... can’t wait ta see ya either.”

“Gid? Are you... crying?”

There was a very clear sniffle heard before he spoke. “I’m not cr...” He took another deep breath.  “Okay, yeah, maybe a little.”

“I love you, Gid. So much. When I get there, I’m gonna prove that,” Bobby told him.

“Ya don’t need ta prove anythin’ ta me, Bobby. Ah love ya too. This just... means a lot ta me. More than ah can put into words.”

“I know. It means a lot to me too.”

Gideon sounded a bit calmer now. “Bobby... ah wanna ask ya somethin’ and ah need ya ta promise me ya won’t sidestep the question, alright?”

“I promise, Gid. What is it?”

“Yer uprootin’ yer entire life ta come live with me... Why? Why would ya risk losin’ everythin’ ya have there ta move ta a place that’s technically nowhere near Huntington? What are ya gonna do if yer Clinical Homesick...”

Bobby spoke up. “Gideon, stop. I get what you’re asking, and continuing to try to elaborate is going to make you cry, so don’t. Just let me answer, okay?”

“Right, sorry... Go ahead.”

“Why am I doing this? Because, in my heart, I feel like it’s the right thing to do. There’s so much I’m going to gain from doing this. There's so much that I couldn’t ever get living here. I’m going to have a job and a home. I’ll be able to start taking classes in the college there. But, most importantly, I’ll have the fox I love at my side through all of it. My Clinical Homesickness won’t be an issue either. I’m one hundred percent positive of that.”

“How can ya be so sure,” Gideon asked. “Ya told me how bad things can get...”

“In their own way, the Zoo, Bunnyburrow and Zootopia became like a home to me the more time I spent there. I know what I first said when you first asked me on my birthday, but, even then, you know how quick I was to change my mind. Even if something does happen, you’ll be there. I’ve made up my mind. I won’t let it control my life. I want to be there. I want to be with you. This is happening. End of story.”

Those words were what broke Gideon. The phone was passed off again before Travis spoke to him. “Bobby?”

“Travis, go to Gid. Do not leave his side until I’m there.” He looked toward Tidus and his dad as he spoke the next words. “It’s time for me to come home.”

“Got it,” the ferret replied. “See you soon.”

“See you soon.” Bobby hung up.

“Let’s not waste any more time, Bobby,” Tidus commented as he looked at the porcupine. “Sounds like we need to get you to Gid sooner rather than later.”

Bobby nodded. “Yeah... Tidus, are you sure you want to use your own magic to do this for me?”

“Bobby, I’m not going over it again,” the horse told him. “Especially not now.” Tidus gestured toward the small stack of boxes, which held Bobby’s possessions . Beside them were his surfboards. “Is that everything?”

“Everything I planned on bringing, yes. Gideon and Travis already got a dresser for me to store my stuff and... well...” Bobby blushed as he continued speaking. “I don’t exactly need a bed of my own anymore.”

Tidus and Sam both chuckled before Tidus spoke up. “Okay. I’m going to make this about as easy as it can get for you, Bobby.”

“What do you mean,” Bobby asked.

Tidus walked over to the front door of the Thornbody home and put his hand against it. He began muttering something and ran his paw along the doorframe before moving it to the doorknob.

When Bobby saw the door open, instead of seeing their front yard, Bobby found himself staring at the living room of the studio apartment above Gideon’s pie shop. At the far end of it, he could hear Gideon and Travis quietly talking. He looked at Tidus, who just smiled, before walking over to his boxes, quietly picking one of them up and walking through the doorway before quietly setting the box down again.

Sam grabbed another and followed him, placing the box down beside where Bobby had put his.

The three of them did this for about five minutes, with Bobby finishing by bringing his surfboards in. At that point, though, footsteps were heard coming from Gideon’s room.

Seconds later, the fox’s eyes locked onto Bobby, and he walked over, clearly trying to keep from crying again.

Seeing that, Bobby got a bit teary-eyed as well, but he wiped the tears away, doing the same to his fox before hugging him tightly. “It’s okay, Gideon. I’m here now.”

Gideon didn’t speak a word for nearly a full minute. Instead, he just held Bobby close. When he eventually spoke up, all he could say were two words, which came out almost in a whisper. “Welcome home.”

“I’m glad to be here, Gid,” Bobby told him. “I love you.”

“Ah love ya too, Bobby. So much.” Gideon let Bobby go and looked at Tidus. He walked over to him, rubbing his neck. “Thank ya. Thank ya fer bringin’ him so he didn’t have ta spend money ta get here. If there’s anythin’ ah can do ta repay ya...”

Tidus shook his head. “That isn’t necessary, Gideon. Like I told you when we talked earlier, this is something Theo and I decided we wanted to do. We want to see him happy, and being with you will do that for him. Besides, now that he’s here, he’ll have a much easier time visiting some of his friends.”

Gideon nodded. “Yeah, that’s true. Still, thank ya. Ah hope ya didn’t overtax yerself makin’ that portal.”

“Believe me when I tell you, compared to some of the other stuff I’ve done, that was easy.”

A couple of seconds later, Travis came out of the room. He had a smile on his face as he saw Tidus, Bobby and Sam. “Hey, guys. That didn’t take very long.”

“Yeah, I know. I didn’t want to waste any more time,” Bobby said.

“Welcome home, by the way,” Travis added.

“Mahalo,” Bobby replied back.

Travis turned to Tidus and Sam. “And thank you both for the help you guys gave in getting him here.”

“Tidus did most of the work,” Sam commented. “I just helped carry the boxes through.”

“That’s still helping, Sam,” Travis told him. “So, thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” both Tidus and Sam replied.

“How are ya feelin’, Bobby,” Gideon asked.

“I’m feeling pretty good, believe it or not. I feel right at home already,” the porcupine told the ferret. “How could I not? I’ve got my favorite fox and my favorite ferret with me. I’m in my new home. I’ve already got a job. Thanks to my birthday, I’ve already got a car, and...” He stopped. “The car! I forgot about that. I’ve been so preoccupied with how I was going to get here that I didn’t even think about how I was going to retrieve the car everyone helped pick out for me. It’s still in Zootopia, isn’t it?”

“Bobby?” Sam looked at him.

“Hm?”

“Look out the window,” his dad commented, gesturing to a window that led to a view of the back parking area of the pie shop.

Bobby walked over and did just that. Looking out the window, he saw there was a sky-blue-colored van parked right beside Gideon’s. He chuckled softly before turning back to Tidus. “Was that because of you too?”

“Nope, that was Judy’s doing. She drove it here for you since she was planning to visit with her family anyway, and it saved her the cost of a train ticket,” Tidus told him.

“Then I’ll definitely have to drop by and thank her,” the porcupine commented as he looked back out the window to his van. “I’d love to know how it is that you guys knew the kind of car I was hoping to get.”

Sam laughed. “Let’s see... I know you like mine, and over the years, you’ve frequently mentioned you love how comfortable Gideon’s is. It wasn’t that hard.”

“Yeah, okay. That’s a fair point.” Bobby laughed. “It’s also kinda nice to know I’ll actually fit. Especially with me now at two hundred fifty pounds, having the extra space, so I’m not just crammed inside like a sardine, will make driving a lot easier.”

“To be honest, that was one of the first things we looked for when we decided to help Mister Big get that van for you. We wanted to be sure it could accommodate you if you got bigger.”

“When,” Bobby commented.

Sam gave him a quizzical look. “Hm?”

“When I got bigger. That car was bought when I was 200 pounds. It wasn’t until after that, when I met with Koslov, that I gained the extra weight.”

“Well, yer not wrong,” Gideon remarked. “By the way, did ya wanna try it out? See how it feels ta ya? This is gonna be yer first time in it, after all.”

“Mmm... I do want to, but not just yet.” Bobby said. He walked over to Gideon and whispered. “I’ve got an idea for something I want to do to thank Tidus for helping us.”

“Go on,” Gideon whispered back.

“Tidus has been so busy with stuff lately. Other than those few days surrounding my birthday, I don’t think I’ve seen him in the lobby of the Zoo for a while. True, he likely gets some release from Theo, but I think I wanna help him with that. I’m gonna get him going, and, when you see an opportunity to do something to him, go for it, okay?”

“Hmm.... well, ah might go after YOU first, but alright. Ah think ah have an idea.”

“Good.” Turning back to Tidus, Bobby stood there for several moments before walking over to him, shoving his paws up under Tidus’ shirt and rubbing the horse’s gut.

“Mmm... What’s this for,” Tidus asked.

Bobby didn’t answer. He just continued to rub but slowly worked his paws upward.

“Bobby, you know what that’s going to d...” The horse’s words got cut short as Bobby’s paws groped his chest. “Mmm.”

Bobby then leaned in and planted a deep, loving kiss on Tidus’ muzzle while continuing to rub.

Behind them, Gideon had a smirk on his face. He whispered to the other two. “Looks like Bobby’s really intent on workin’ Tidus up, huh?”

Travis snickered. “Yeah..”

“I can’t exactly say I’m not enjoying the show,” Sam whispered as he watched.

Bobby broke the kiss, continuing to rub the horse’s body. He eventually grabbed hold of the horse’s shirt, slipping it up over his head and off of him before moving his paws down to the horse’s shorts. All without ever saying a word.

“Bobby...” Tidus let out a soft moan as he felt the porcupine’s paw slip inside his shorts and rub against his rapidly hardening cock.

Bobby took hold of Tidus’ shorts and the underwear beneath and pulled them down, exposing the horse’s boner. He said nothing but turned around, rubbing his butt against the horse.

“You sure you want me to do that, Bobby? We’re not in the... mrrrf...”

Bobby’s paw reached behind him and adjusted the horse’s dick so it was aimed at his hole. He then slowly pushed back against it, making Tidus moan again.

At that point, Tidus reached in front of him, taking hold of Bobby’s sides. “If it’s too much...”

“Shh...” Bobby replied, cutting him off and pushing back again, feeling Tidus’ dick starting to spread him open. “Mmrrrf...”

Tidus didn’t speak another word. Very slowly, he pushed himself forward, spreading the porcupine’s hole until it was wide enough that it took in the head of his thick erection. “Mmmrr...”

Bobby clenched his eyes shut and grunted as the intruding member pushed him open. It wasn’t until Tidus was a couple of inches in that the porcupine moaned and finally spoke. “Mmmfff... God, you’re so thick...”

“Much different feeling than when I’m using magic to take the edge off, hm?” Tidus nuzzled Bobby’s neck.

“Mmff... Yeah...” Bobby only then looked toward the other three. His expression didn’t change, though. Instead, he just smirked. “Enjoying the... mmm.... the show?”

By that point, all three were in their own state of arousal.

Sam was fully unsheathed, rock hard but only lightly stroking himself. “Not going to lie, son. Yes... Mmm... I am.”

Beside him, Travis was now standing there with his cock pulled out of the front of his shorts, moaning softly as he watched. His only reply was a nod.

Gideon was fully nude and hard, but he wasn’t stroking himself. Instead, the moment Bobby’s eyes locked onto his, the fox walked up, dropped to his knees, and took Bobby’s fully erect fox dick into his muzzle as he began working his tongue over it.

This immediately made Bobby moan out as he began bucking forward into Gideon’s muzzle.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Tidus pushed himself in further. “Mmmff... Bobby... You’re... Aaah... real tight back here.”

“Mrr... Well, to be fair, this is the first time you’ve...” He let out another moan as he felt the horse push in more. “This is the first time you’ve done this to me outside of the Zoo.”

“True... this is...mmm... a thank you gift I was not expecting, though,” the horse said, as he continued to push.

“Mrrf... I know... But I wanted you to know how much....” Bobby groaned as he felt Gideon beneath him tugging at his knot. “...how much I appreciate you helping me.”

“I don’t think you’ll be able to take my full length unless I use some of my...”

“No... I want you. Only you. No magic. No Zoo. Just you...” Bobby groaned as he pushed back against Tidus, feeling the horse’s cock slowly inching inside of him. He could tell Tidus was right, just based on how big the horse’s dick felt inside him, but he was determined to take as much as he could.

In front of him, Travis’ breath was starting to become ragged from his stroking. “Bobby... you look really hot right now. And I’m about t...”

“Then get over here and do it, Travis. I couldn’t go anywhere if I tried,” Bobby replied, bucking forward into Gideon as Tidus pushed further inside him. Bobby’s panting was starting to grow ragged as well at that point.

Travis quickly scurried over to Bobby’s side, and he felt the porcupine reach over and start rubbing his sac.

“Shoot for me, Travis... Do it... Let’s... mmf... cum together...” As he said this, he started bucking into Gid’s muzzle faster.

Travis started pounding on his cock as he felt the porcupine fondling him. It didn’t take more than a couple seconds before the ferret moaned out, letting loose his seed, which sprayed Bobby’s side. “Aaaah!”

At almost the same time, Bobby thrust himself forward, moaning out loud as his dick pulsed in his lover’s muzzle, shooting his own load. “AAAAH!”

Tidus could only push in a little farther before the friction from Bobby’s insides finally pushed him over the edge. Not even a minute after Bobby had cum, Tidus groaned out, filling the porcupine in front of him. “MMMMRRRRFFFF!”

That caused Bobby to moan more as the porcupine felt a massive amount of seed getting unloaded within him. He reached with his paw, rubbing his lower belly as he felt it fill his insides. “Ohhh... Tidus... wow... I don’t think you’ve ever cum like that inside me before...”

“I haven’t. The magic makes things feel different, but you asked me not to use any magic, so I didn’t. There’s probably going to be a mess when I pull out if I don’t use it now, though.”

Gideon backed off of Bobby after he gulped down the load he was given and spoke up as he stood. “Not yet. Yer not done.”

“Oh?” Tidus raised a brow.

Gideon just grinned and walked up behind Tidus. Much like Bobby, he didn’t say a word. He walks around behind Tidus, lined his cock up with Tidus’ tailhole, and, in one swift motion, thrust himself forward, knot and all.

Tidus grunted, which was almost immediately followed by a moan. “Mfff...”

“This is yer punishment fer fuckin’ mah mate without askin’ me first,” Gideon told Tidus. There was a smirk on his face as he spoke, but the tone gave away he was just trying to keep the mood going.

“Mmmff... It’s not my fault, Gid,” the horse said as he clenched around the fox’s knot. “Bobby made me do it.”

“Mmhmm... Sure... Ya coulda stopped him though...” Gideon said as he started humping Tidus. “Ya could have just not moved. Told him no. Used yer magic ta get him off ya. Ya didn’t. That’s why yer gettin’ punished.” He started humping faster.

Tidus moaned again and found himself unable to keep from humping Bobby in front of him, due to what Gideon was doing. “Mrrrf... Gideon... I didn’t mean t...”

“Hush... Yes, ya did. Ah know ya did, because yer doin’ it again right now.” Gideon continued humping the horse, which, in turn, kept him fucking Bobby too. “Admit it, yer lovin’ every second of this, aren’t ya?”

Tidus groaned as he felt the fox’s humping increase in pace. “Mrrrf... Alright, Gideon... You win...  I am. It’s been too long since I’ve gotten the chance to, and, even then, it’s always in the Zoo.” Tidus let his body match Gideon’s pace, taking hold of Bobby’s sides once more as he thrust into the porcupine.

Bobby said absolutely nothing as the two spoke, but he had to admit he didn’t know what to expect when Gideon said he had an idea. It quickly became evident just how much Bobby enjoyed it, though, as his dick started twitching again.

“Bet you’ll think twice about doing this without asking first next time. Won’t ya, Tidus,” Gideon asked with a grunt as he bucked forward again.

Tidus moaned again, clenching around Gideon’s knot while simultaneously thrusting into Bobby. “Mmm... I dunno... I mean, I might forget again someday...”

“Then yer gonna end up gettin’ the same treatment,” Gideon said as he humped faster.

Sam, who had been watching this without a word, had been stroking himself at the same slow pace the entire time.

As soon as Travis noticed the precum dripping off Sam’s cock, he decided he’d get in on the fun too. When he was sure Sam wasn’t looking, Travis let his shorts and underwear drop then slipped his shirt off over his head. He then looked at the elder porcupine. “Sam?”

“Hm?” Sam turned to look at him.

“Would you mind...”

Sam cut him off. “If you want to, Travis, you’re welcome to.”

Travis blushed but shook his head. “I was kinda hoping YOU wanted to.”

Sam released his cock and walked over behind Travis. Shedding himself of his remaining clothes, the elder porcupine stepped up behind the ferret, whispering in his ear. “Someone’s enjoying what he’s watching...” With those words, Sam took hold of Travis’ sides.

Travis bit his lip. “Yeah... I am.”

“Clearly,” Sam said as he lined himself up and pressed his cock against Travis’ tailhole. He pushed in slowly, giving a gentle moan as he did. He slowly pushed forward, amidst both Travis’ and his own moans, until he was deep inside the ferret.

“Aah... S... Sam. Please...”

“Shhh...” He pointed toward the other three as he started slowly humping.

Travis turned his attention to the trio in front of him.

Gideon had picked up his pace again and was now going full speed, hammering into Tidus, who was, as a result, doing the same to Bobby.

In the moments right before Tidus was about to cum again, the horse had thrust himself a couple of inches deeper into the porcupine, and the pressure itself had forced Bobby to cum again. Tidus gave a loud moan as he blew his load inside the porcupine, which was followed, seconds later, by Gideon unloading into the horse.

Bobby, winded after cumming again, nearly fell forward, but Tidus grabbed him.

“You okay, Bobby?”

“Yeah... Yeah, I think so. Just... wow...” He rubbed his lower belly.

“Heh. Sorry about that. Couldn’t exactly help myself,” Tidus told him.

“I know... Hey, Gid?”

Gideon took a few seconds to let his knot shrink before pulling himself free. He then turned to Bobby. “Yeah?”

“M... Mahalo for that.”

“Hey, ya gave me an openin’. Ah just took it.” Gideon told him. He and the other two heard Sam moan out and turned to look just in time to see the elder porcupine thrust forward into Travis with a moan, clearly having just cum inside the ferret.

“Cum fer us, Travis,” Gideon said with a grin.

“Yeah. Do it, Travis. Show my dad what he did to you by filling you,” Bobby added.

“Let’s see what you’ve been holding in, hm?” Tidus added.

“Mmmfff... Almost there,” Travis said, clenching around the porcupine cock that was still buried inside him.

“Show me, Travis. I’m not letting you go until you do,” Sam said as he let one of his paws travel down Travis’ body until it rested on Travis’ sac. The porcupine gave the ferret’s sac a gentle rub.

“S... Sam... A...”

“Let it out, Travis... Do it for me on three, okay?”

Travis said nothing further but nodded his head rapidly, increasing the pace of his stroking.

“One,” Sam said as he continued to rub, using his other paw to rub Travis’ chest.

Travis kept stroking, moaning softly.

“Two,” Sam said, this time joined by Bobby and Gideon.

Travis’ breathing quickened as he kept going. There was now an almost constant flow of pre oozing from his cock.

At the same time, all of them spoke. “Three!”

“G...Gonna c... AAAH!” The ferret moaned loudly as his cock let loose his load, spraying the carpet floor in front of him. Had it not been for Sam holding him, he would have fallen forward at that point, but as Bobby nearly had.

While Sam held Travis to help him recuperate, Tidus, very slowly, pulled out of Bobby. As he suspected, he had left quite a mess behind with what had happened. With a laugh, he was quick to clean it up by using a bit more magic to do so.

“Ya didn’t have ta do that, Tidus.”

“Yes, I did. After all, as you said, I’m the one who let things get to this point,” Tidus said with a smirk. Seconds later, the entire group was laughing.

“Well, this was certainly a nice way ta celebrate ya movin’ in, wasn’t it,” Gideon remarked when he was finally calm enough to do so.

“Heh... Yeah.” Bobby nodded and looked at Tidus. “By the way...”

“Hm?”

“Though it was harder to take at first, I enjoyed that.”

Tidus chuckled. “I’ll remember that. You certainly surprised me, though. Theo’s going to be jealous.”

“Just gives us more of a reason ta invite him fer a visit,” Gideon responded.

“I suppose it does,” Tidus commented.

“I guess we should probably let you get back home to him, huh? It didn’t take nearly as long as I thought it would for me to get my stuff here, thanks to you.” Bobby hugged the large horse with a smile before he and the others all got dressed again. “I mean, just because your room in the Zoo is tied to your house doesn’t mean your house isn’t somewhere on the opposite side of the city, right?”

Tidus, Gideon, Travis and Sam all gave a quiet snicker at the younger porcupine’s remark.

Bobby, hearing that, shook his head and laughed. “Tidus?”

“Yeeees?” Tidus had a big grin on his face.

“Call Theo. Now.”

Trying to restrain a chuckle, Tidus pulled his phone out and did exactly that. He put the phone on speaker immediately.

“Hey, Tidus. All finished?”

“Bobby’s stuff has been moved over, but he‘s missing something that he really needs right now,” Tidus told his brother.

“Something or someone,” Theo replied.

“Theo, I figured it out,” Bobby told him. “Your bedroom in the Zoo is also your bedroom in your house. And your house isn’t that far from Gideon’s h...”

“OUR home,” Gideon said, correcting the porcupine.

“From OUR home, is it?”

Theo started laughing. “Nope. It’s not. When you leave from the Bunnyburrow exit of the Zoo to visit Gideon, you walk right past it. Our house is the blue one-story home at the corner of the street.”

Bobby went quiet for a moment. He looked as though he were trying to figure something out in his head. “Why use the flower field as the Zoo’s entrance? Why not just alter the appearance of your home?”

“Memories, Bobby. We’ve lived in that house our entire lives. We didn’t want to change anything about it. Linking our bedroom to the Zoo is the only bit of magic we’ve ever used to alter something in the house.”

“Ah... That’s kinda sweet,” Bobby said as a smile formed on his face.

“Mhm... So, you want me to come by?”

Bobby went quiet for a moment. “Actually... I changed my mind. I think I’d rather come to you instead.”

“Oh? Any particular reason?”

“You’ve seen the shop many times. I’ve never been inside of your home, other than your bedroom, and it will give me a reason to try out my new car,” Bobby said.

Theo laughed. “Alright. See you soon.”

“Mhm. See ya,” Bobby looked at Tidus after the horse hung up.

“I should have seen that coming,” Tidus commented.

“Yes, you should have,” Bobby replied with a grin. “I didn’t see any other cars outside besides mine and Gid’s, so did you want to come with me? That way, you don’t have to walk back.”

“Sure. Thank you, Bobby.” Tidus smiled.

“Ah’m gonna stay here with yer dad and Travis. Did ya want me ta start unpackin’ yer stuff,” Gideon asked.

“You don’t have to, Gid, but, if you would like to, I would appreciate it,” the porcupine responded.

“Alright. Leave it ta me. It’s not like ya have that much stuff anyway,” Gideon said as he walked over, hugging and kissing Bobby. “See ya when ya get back. Ah love ya.”

Bobby returned the affection. “Love you too, Gid. See ya soon.”

“Tell Theo I said hello,” Sam said.

“I will,” Bobby replied before walking to a nearby door, which opened out into a small hallway with an elevator. He and Tidus took the elevator down to the lower floor, walking past the door leading to the bakery and heading for the door leading outside.

“Quick question for you, Bobby.”

Bobby walked outside with Tidus and headed over to his new van. “Hm?”

“Now that you’re here, what’s your plan?”

“First thing I plan to do, once I’m settled in, is contact the college. I want to find out what I need to do to enroll. I’m not going to waste time. Based on when the semester starts, I’m gonna get things going there, then work out a schedule with Gid, so I can start earning money too.”

“You know Gideon isn’t going to accept a dime from you for living there, don’t you?”

Bobby laughed as he got himself buckled in. “Oh, I know, but that doesn’t mean I can’t use the money he pays me to buy things for him.”

Tidus climbed in and buckled himself in as well. “Fair point. You know, you two really are a cute couple.”

As Bobby carefully backed the van out of the parking spot and slowly drove into the traffic, he laughed again. “You say that a lot.”

“Only because it’s true,” the horse replied.

Bobby shook his head but said nothing else. He drove the short distance to get to the Aropo home, pulling into the driveway when he got there, only to find Theo at the front door waiting. Once Bobby had parked, he unbuckled himself, opened the driver’s side door and climbed out. Instead of closing it though, he just stood there, making a ‘come here’ gesture with his paw.

Theo raised a brow but walked over.

As soon as Theo was in reach, Bobby grabbed him and hugged him tightly. When he tried to speak, Bobby silenced him by kissing him on the muzzle.

When Bobby broke the kiss, he looked at the horse. “Aloha.”

Theo gave a soft chuckle. “Aloha to you, too. What was that for?”

“You know what it was for, and you don’t need me explaining it,” the porcupine told him, reaching and rubbing his belly.

“Mmm, okay, that’s a fair point. In any case, it’s good to see you.”

“Good to see you too, Theo. I brought your brother back, safe and sound,” Bobby told him.

“I can see that,” Theo told him. “How was the drive?”

“Short, but nice. The seats are comfy too.”

“I have to agree,” Tidus replied, walking over to his brother and giving him a quick kiss.

“Mmm.” Theo kissed Tidus back before looking at Bobby. “Would you like to come inside? I’m sure you’d like to see what the rest of the house looks like, right?”

“Mmm, yeah... I have to admit I’m a little curious. I can’t believe I’ve been walking past your house for the last five years and never knew.”

Tidus shrugged. “We’d have told you sooner if you had asked.”

“I don’t doubt that.”

The two horses went inside, with the porcupine in tow. The living room area had a large couch with a recliner, a small table, some large plants by the wall, as well as a few bookcases, though neither was as full as the ones Bobby had seen in the brothers’ bedroom. There was a tv mounted on one of the walls with a fireplace nearby.

Bobby took all this in before looking back to the two horses. “It looks nice in here.”

“Thank you,” Theo commented.

“We could take you to the bedroom, but you already know what that looks like,” Tidus told him. “We have a second, slightly smaller one, but it just has a bed and a dresser. We use it when we have guests over.”

Bobby nodded. “Makes sense to me.” Bobby looked around for a moment before turning back to the pair. “Quick question...”

“Hm?” Tidus looked at Bobby with a raised brow.

“It’s been five years, and yet I never asked this. Mostly because I think the answer is obvious based on how you two act, but...”

“Yes, Bobby,” Theo replied, cutting him off with a smirk. “The answer is yes.”

“Heh, as I said, the answer seemed obvious, but I just never thought to outright ask. How long has it been?”

“Since we decided to become a couple, you mean?”

Bobby nodded. “Yeah.”

“A week after we turned eighteen. We’d been fooling arou...”

“Having sex,” Bobby cut in, smirking.

Theo snickered. “Yeah, we’d been having sex for a fair bit with each other for about a year or so before that, mostly because we would both get excited...”

“Horny,” Bobby cut in again, still smirking. “I’m not thirteen anymore, Theo. You don’t have to watch your words around me. You know that.”

Theo shook his head and laughed. “We would get horny and decide that helping each other out was faster than trying to find someone else to do it. And, well, since Tidus is my brother, he already knew that...” He looked at Bobby, who was ready to correct him again if he felt he needed to. “He already knew that I didn’t have a dick. It’s never bothered him, and we both enjoy it whenever he’s inside me.

Tidus nodded. “Just so it’s clear, though, the sex isn’t the ONLY reason we’re a couple.”

“I never would have thought that, Tidus.”

Tidus nodded. “Theo is very smart. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve gone to him because I couldn’t figure something out, only to have him figure it out within minutes.”

Theo looked at his brother. “You’re just as smart, Tidus. You’re the one who figured out how to tether our room to the Zoo.”

Tidus chuckled. “Hey, to be fair, even that took me a while... Anyway, Theo’s also the most gentle guy I know. If he sees that there’s something wrong with me, he always drops anything he’s doing, no matter how important, just to help put a smile on my face. Most times, all it takes to do that is him holding me.”

“That’s so sweet,” Bobby said with a soft smile.

“As far as I’m concerned, there’s no one quite like Tidus either.” Theo took a seat on the couch, gesturing for Bobby to do the same, while Tidus took the recliner. “Bobby, you do recall my initial hesitation regarding showing myself to you, yes?”

Bobby nodded. “Yeah, I remember.”

“Before you, the last person to see it... Well, he wasn’t very nice. It happened at school one day. During gym, I always took extra care to make sure no one saw me when I was showering, but one day, someone saw it, because I slipped and pulled part of the curtain covering the stall back. Almost as soon as he did, he turned every friend I had at the time against me.”

“What?!” Bobby’s eyes grew. “How did he...”

“Being the most popular kid in school, he had people eating out of the palm of his hand. If he said something, the whole school believed it. All it took was a comment about me, in his words, hiding the fact I was a girl, and suddenly any guys that knew me there were too weirded-out to hang around me anymore, and any girls that knew me there suddenly stopped talking to me.”

“Theo...” Bobby immediately put an arm around him and nuzzled against him. “I’m so sorry.”

“What’s done is done, Bobby,” Theo replied. “But, getting back on topic, after school was over the day that happened, Tidus wouldn’t leave my side. He didn’t even care that he’d lost a date he had over what had happened. It was with another classmate of ours who had overheard everything. The guy said Tidus was probably full of secrets, too, and wanted nothing to do with him... Wanna know what Tidus’ response was?”

Bobby gave a gentle nod. “Tell me.”

Taking that as his cue, Tidus stood, walked over to the couch, and pulled Theo to his feet. Right then and there, he wrapped his paws around Theo and kissed him deeply, holding him close. When he broke the kiss, he looked at Bobby. “I don’t need you. I’ve got Theo.”

Bobby’s frown turned into a smile then. “Aww... Is that when you guys decided to become a couple?”

Theo shook his head. “No. But that day led to something that made it happen.”

Bobby looked hesitant at first but spoke. “Go on.”

“A week after we had hit eighteen, Tidus and I had been in the middle of a shopping trip. We needed a few things we were running low on. As we were gathering the things we needed, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the same fur that had cost me all my friends walking past the aisle we were on. I didn’t think he had seen me because he never stopped walking. I quickly found out I was wrong.”

“Theo, you can stop now... I think you’ve given me enough that I can piece it together,” Bobby said. “I’m gonna guess he tried to mess with you, but Tidus stepped in, did something that either embarrassed the guy, or, at the very least, got him to back off, and, at that point, you decided you wanted to be together.”

Tidus nodded. “For the sake of the story, I’m just going to call him Mike. Mike didn’t count on the fact that I had learned something about him a few months after that day that could destroy his reputation at the school the same way he had destroyed ours. He tried to call my bluff, thinking I was making it up, but when I threatened to tell the entire school that I had an audio recording to prove it, he went white as a ghost, begging me to stay quiet. I told him I would on one condition.”

“And that was?”

Theo spoke up, though he was blushing now. “Tidus kissed me the same way he did the day of the original incident and told him ‘apologize to my boyfriend’.”

“And... did he,” Bobby asked.

Tidus nodded. “Oh, he did... Not only that, he was so terrified by what I said I’d do if he didn’t back off that he ended up moving away. I don’t even know where he is now.”

“What exactly is it you had against him, Tidus?”

“I found out he was dating an intersex male and had been since even before he ruined our friendships in school. He had used Theo as a way to throw suspicion off of him.”

“And you had something recorded to prove it?”

Tidus grinned. “Nope! But I fooled him into believing I did.”

Bobby couldn’t help cracking up at that point. It took a couple of minutes to calm himself down enough to speak again. “And I bet, to this day, none of those classmates ever found out? At least, they never found out from you two?”

Both horses nodded, and Theo spoke. “Even after he moved, we kept what we learned to ourselves. Many people questioned us, figuring we had something to do with it, but neither of us ever told anyone. You’re the only one who knows the leverage we had against him.”

Bobby nodded and fell silent again for a few moments. He then scooted himself over to Theo as close as he could and put an arm around him, resting his head against the horse.

Theo didn’t say a word and just put his arm around Bobby. He looked at his twin, who just sat there, smiling.

Several minutes passed before the porcupine spoke up. “Theo?”

“Yeah, Bobby?”

“I want to ask you to do something... You’re allowed to say no, but I’m hoping you won’t,” Bobby told the horse. He removed his arm and sat up after Theo did the same.

“What is it?”

Bobby sat in silence for another minute before speaking, trying to figure out the best way to put what he was going to ask Theo to do. “Five years ago, you told me that, because I was a cub, and because you didn’t want it to happen, the magic of the Zoo would stop you from getting pregnant when I climbed inside you, right?”

Theo raised a brow. “Yeah.”

“Would that work the other way? Could you make it so you were guaranteed you WOULD get pregnant,” Bobby asked.

“I... don’t know. I’ve grown so used to using it to make sure I don’t, that I’ve never thought about it. But, Bobby, I don’t think I should let y...”

Bobby held up a paw. “Let me finish, Theo. Please?”

“O... kay...” Theo looked confused, and so did his brother.

“It isn’t me that I was going to ask about. If I were to use magic to make anything like that happen with someone, it would be with Gideon...”

Theo raised a brow. “Interesting...”

“Huh? What is,” Bobby looked confused now.

“Neither of you is built the way I am, and yet, your first desire is a want to do that with Gideon.”

Bobby’s eyes grew as he covered his face in embarrassment. “I can’t believe I let that slip out...”

“So you ARE thinking about that?”

Bobby took a deep breath and pulled his paw away. “Okay, yeah. Maybe a little, but that’s not where this conversation was intended to go. Honest.”

Theo simply nodded. “Alright. Go on...”

“With you two being a couple and with as much love as you have for each other, I have to admit it surprises me that you two don’t have a child of your own already.”

Now Theo and Tidus were the ones blushing with embarrassment.

“I’d bet just about anything I owned that I could look you in the eye and ask if you wanted to, and you wouldn’t be able to tell me no.”

Neither horse said a word, but Bobby noticed Theo was now fidgeting quite a bit. Tidus looked uneasy, but not nearly as much as his brother.

“Theo?”

Theo did his best to look Bobby in the eye. “Yes?”

“What’s keeping you from asking?”

Theo took a deep breath. “The truth?”

“The truth,” Bobby said with a nod.

“The truth is... While yes, we’re a couple NOW... If I let it happen, and we have a kid, he could never find someone else to be with. He’d be obligated to stay with me, to raise our child. And I... I don’t want to put that on him and ruin his chances of finding someone better.”

Bobby opened his mouth to speak, but Tidus beat him to it.

“Theo, I don’t WANT anyone else. It’s been well over fifteen years now. Since you and I got together officially, I haven’t WANTED another lover. You’re not the only one who uses magic to hold things back. Before coming here...”

Bobby cut Tidus off. “Before I brought Tidus back, I had decided I wanted to thank him for the help he gave me today, so I pushed myself on him a bit and made him fuck me. I specifically asked him not to use his magic to keep from hurting me, but...” Bobby then looked to Tidus. “I KNOW he did, at least partially, despite telling me he didn’t.”

Tidus looked guilty, hearing that. “You knew?”

“I’m not mad, Tidus. Not one bit. So don’t apologize.” He turned back to Theo. “Anyway, there it is. The Zoo is a lot of fun, and I enjoy having fun with you guys, but you never let YOURSELVES fully enjoy it. You’re always holding something back. So... getting back to what I wanted to ask... I’ll admit I do feel a little silly, as this isn’t any of my business, but... Do you want to let Tidus make you pregnant?”

Theo and Tidus looked at Bobby then looked at each other. Tidus made a gesture toward his crotch, which was sporting a bulge from within his shorts.

Theo bit his lip to suppress a laugh before looking at Bobby. “Yeah... Yeah, I do." He blushed before looking at his brother. "I cannot believe it took a talk with Bobby to get this to come out.”

“Neither can I, but it just proves, once again, how helpful he is. I didn’t plan on having this kind of conversation today. Heck, I didn’t plan on fucking him either, but I don’t regret it happening,” Tidus told him.

“You’d really like to have a child with me, Tidus?”

Tidus stood from his seat in the recliner, walked over to Theo, pulled him to his feet and kissed him, pressing his growing bulge against his brother. “What do YOU think?”

Theo let out a soft murr before catching sight of Bobby shifting a bit on the couch out of the corner of his eye. “I think someone just wants to watch us fuck.”

Bobby immediately stopped moving.

“It’s not like he hasn’t seen us naked before,” Tidus said as he started to strip off his clothing.

Theo snickered but started doing the same. “I agree... but I have one condition.” He looked at Bobby.

“And that is,” Bobby asked.

“Strip and get over here. You’re going to help.”
