So here we have the first of our story line title stories: Boys Like Me! It&#039;s gay, shocker shocker.<br /></span>",
  "writing": "[center]Boys Like Me[/center]\n\nOBLIGATORY CONTENT WARNING: The following story contains GRAPHIC SEX between TWO MALE CUBS, including ANAL. OMG BOYS DOIN' IT IN THE BUTT. If this offends you, DO NOT READ ON. By reading beyond this point you waive your right to be offended, because YOU WERE WARNED. For those who we haven't scared off… enjoy!\n\n\n \nHealth class was the absolute worst. Why did they need to have a dedicated class every week talking about how it’s important to diet and exercise? Though apparently next week they’d be shifting into puberty. And from what Martin told him, that would mean sex ed. Which he already knew! At least he could zone out for that one.\n\nThe bell for lunch couldn’t come soon enough. He was relieved to move on to the cafeteria for his favorite period.\n\nMartin caught up with him as he got into the lunch line, dragging Chuck along as usual. “Hey, Robs!”\n\nThe fox smiled. “Hey, Mart Mart. Hey Chuck. Sup?”\n\n“Same old same old,” Martin said. “Looking forward to lunch?”\n\n“Duh!” Robbie said. “What about you, Chuck?”\n\nThe border collie shrugged. “I guess.” He stared down at his footpaws as he leaned into Martin.\n\nThat seemed a little odd. He still had to try to find a moment to ask Martin if he had a crush on Chuck, but the way the pup was leaning into him… could he have a crush on Martin, too? It would explain why he took so poorly to the teasing about dating Tanya. Maybe he’d have to ask the border collie about that sometime. Sure, at their last sleepover he’d said he hadn’t thought about dating, but maybe that would change as he got more comfortable with his friends.\n\nOnce they got through the lunch line - chicken patty and tots day was one of Robbie’s favorites - they got to their usual table. Martin and Chuck took the end spots, and Robbie slipped in next to his boyfriend.\n\n“Hey, dudes! Mind if I join you?”\n\nRobbie blinked and looked over. Kendal, the cheetah on the school soccer team, was standing there with an expectant smile. It wasn’t uncommon for the cheetah to join them, but it was always unexpected when he did.\n\n“Heck yeah!” Martin said. “Robs, you mind if Kendal and I sit next to each other?”\n\nThe fox stared at his boyfriend. “Uh, sure, I guess.” He slid his tray across the table and slipped around to sit next to Chuck as Kendal took his place. It hurt a little that his boyfriend displaced him for one of the soccer players, but it made sense in a way, too. Chuck probably wouldn’t like sitting next to him.\n\nAs he settled in, Becky and Tanya joined them. Robbie felt a little bad separating the two of them, but he figured they wouldn’t mind. They’d been spending almost every recess together, either in a quiet corner of the school yard or, more recently, in Mr. Fox’s classroom. They sometimes even asked him to join them when he wasn’t hanging out with Becky or Martin.\n\n“Hey Robbie, ready for our sleepover tonight?” Becky asked.\n\n“Whoa, boy girl sleepovers?” Kendal said. “Weird. I wouldn’t wanna sleep over with a girl.”\n\nMartin laughed. “Becky’s cool, though. She’s kinda like a boy. She likes video games and stuff.”\n\n“And I’ll kick your butt at Smash like I always do!” the rabbit said.\n\n“Dang,” Kendal said. “A girl who’s good at video games? This I gotta see. Maybe some day I can tag along.”\n\n“We usually do ‘em at Robbie’s house, though,” Martin said. “My place isn’t great ‘cause my brothers are jerks, and Becky’s got like a thousand brothers and sisters.”\n\n“There’s only eight of them,” Becky said.\n\nKendal giggled. “Wow, how do you even survive a place like that? I can barely handle my older sister!”\n\nRobbie sighed and dug into his food, tuning out the cubs on the other side of the table as they got into a heated discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of siblings. By the time he finished his food, he noted that Chuck was nearly full-on leaning into him. Was that a sign of something? It almost sucked that his recess would most likely be dominated by the wolf and the rabbit. He really wanted to ask Chuck if he liked boys! It’d be nice if the border collie was a boy like him.\n\n“Well, as long as you don’t try to kiss me or anything, I guess we can be friends,” Kendal said.\n\n“What, afraid I’ll give you cooties?” Becky teased.\n\nThe cheetah rolled his eyes. “No, I’m not a baby. I’m just not into girls.”\n\n“Whoa, you’re gay?” Becky asked.\n\nKendal grinned. “Yup!”\n\nWait, was that why Martin wanted to sit next to Kendal? Oh no, was he going to try to leave him for the cheetah? His anxiety spiked.\n\n“It’s a good thing you like girls, then.”\n\nRobbie was surprised to hear the voice to his right. Tanya rarely spoke during lunch.\n\nIt seemed to catch Becky off guard. “Yeah, I guess it’s a good thing I’m gay, too.” She blushed a little.\n\nThe cheetah beamed. “Oh, cool! I’d join the GSA if soccer practice didn’t get in the way of clubs. You’re okay, then.”\n\nWait, Becky was gay, too? And if Chuck was…\n\n“Hehe… three gays at the table, huh?” Robbie said.\n\nBecky piped up first. “Who’s the third?”\n\nRobbie raised a paw. He hoped that outing himself wouldn’t cause Martin to freak. If the wolf minded, he didn’t say anything.\n\n“Oh, neat!” Kendal said. “Guess you’re my first gay friend!”\n\nThe fox blinked. “I… didn’t know we were friends?”\n\nKendal laughed. “Why wouldn’t we be? You’re my best bud’s best bud. Heck, maybe we can hang out sometime. I can ask my mom if I can have you over.”\n\n“You aren’t trying to date him, are you?” Martin said.\n\nThe cheetah shook his head. “Robbie’s not really my type, no offense. But it’s cool to have another gay friend!”\n\n“Yeah,” Robbie said. He glanced at Martin. The wolf gave him a subtle shake of his head. Then he looked over at Chuck. The pup had stiffened. Was that a sign that he was gay, or wasn’t it? He was so hard to read. The fox really needed to ask him if he could get the pup alone.\n\n“What about you, Marts? Which team do you bat for?” Kendal asked.\n\nThe wolf shook his head. “I don’t really know yet,” Martin said.\n\n“That’s fair,” Kendal said. He clapped the wolf on the shoulder. “Well, if you ever wanna try things with a boy, you’ve got two gay friends to try stuff out with, right, Robbie?”\n\n“Haha, yeah,” Robbie said. Little did Kendal know that Martin was already doing things with the fox. With some frequency. Every time he came over to Robbie’s house, in fact. He wondered if Martin would still want to get in some sex with Becky around. It was their first sleepover with her since they’d become boyfriends, after all. Guess he’d find out in a few hours.\n\nAs lunch came to an end, Chuck and Tanya slipped away. It looked like they were on their way to Mr. Fox’s classroom. Figured. Kendal split off from their group, too, heading off for an impromptu recess soccer game, leaving the fox with Martin and Becky.\n\n“Your dad’s picking us all up after school still, right Robs?” Martin asked as they found a seat under a tree at the edge of the school yard.\n\n“Yup, just like he always does for our sleepovers,” Robbie said. “Can’t wait to have you guys over. It’s been too long.”\n\n“You know you just have to ask me!” Becky said.\n\n“Is your little sister gonna be there, too?” Martin asked.\n\nRobbie shook his head. “She’s spending the night with Jamie.”\n\n“Sweet! So she’ll be out of our headfur!” Martin said.\n\n“Hey!” Becky said. “I kinda like Robbie’s sister!”\n\nThe fox sighed as the wolf and rabbit got into an argument about Ellie. How typical of them. He stared off into the crowd, trying to tune them out. His eyes widened as he spotted Sophie heading towards them.\n\n“Hey, Robbie,” she said as she got close.\n\n“Oh, uh, hi Sophie,” Robbie said. He glanced over at Becky and Martin, who were too wrapped up in their argument about the merits of Ellie’s little sister to even notice that they had a fourth. “Umm… what’s up?”\n\nThe golden retriever leaned over and booped Becky’s nose, bringing her argument with Martin to an abrupt pause. “I wanted to invite the three of you to my house next weekend for my birthday sleepover.”\n\nRobbie blinked. “All of us?”\n\nBecky gasped. “You got your mom’s permission for a boy-girl sleepover? That’s awesome!”\n\nThe wolf scoffed. “What do you care? Didn’t you just tell us that you’re gay?” He raised an eyebrow and looked at the pup. “And why me?”\n\nSophie rolled her eyes. “Because you’re Robbie’s best friend, and I thought it would be rude to invite him and not you. I’ve also invited Tanya and your border collie friend.”\n\n“And who else?” Becky asked.\n\n“Just you five,” Sophie said. “Mother wants me to invite Alexis and the bitch squad, but I refuse. It’s my birthday party and I want my friends there. And I guess you get a pass, wolf. Don’t feel like you have to say yes.”\n\nMartin rolled his eyes. “You don’t seriously think my Robbie’s gonna go, do you?”\n\nThe fox blushed. It felt almost like a betrayal of his boyfriend to think this, but Sophie had been… a lot friendlier to him since school started. She was actually kinda cool, which was shocking because the rest of her new friend group were awful.\n\n“I mean… Sophie’s kinda nice… it might be cool to hang out with her outside of school,” Robbie said. “I wouldn’t mind going, if you’re sure you really want me there.”\n\n“Wait, Robs, are you serious?!” Martin said.\n\nHe took a breath and nodded. “I am, yes.”\n\nThe golden retriever beamed. “Wonderful. It’ll be next Saturday night. Have your parents drop you off around noon.”\n\n“Ugh, that means I have to get a gift for a girl,” Martin said. “What do girls even like?”\n\nBecky giggled. “Don’t worry, Marts, I can give you some ideas at our sleepover tonight.”\n\n“And I’ll need to pick your bunny brain for gift ideas for the boys,” Sophie said.\n\nMartin’s eyes bulged. “You don’t seriously think I’d invite you to my birthday, do you?”\n\n“I usually just have Martin and Becky over for my birthday,” Robbie muttered. “But I guess I’ll invite Chuck this year… I guess I could invite you, too, Sophie.”\n\nThe golden retriever giggled. “Don’t feel obligated, it was just a thought. So I’ll see you three next Saturday?”\n\n“Duh!” Becky said.\n\n“Count me in,” Robbie said.\n\nMartin rolled his eyes. “Ugh. I’ll think about it,” he said.\n\nThe rest of recess and the school day went by in a blur. Robbie was still shocked that he’d been invited to Sophie’s birthday party. Of all the furs to invite, why him?\n\nHe let that thought slide as the end of day approached. When the final bell rang, his spirits lifted. After a quick stop at his locker, he made for the parent pick-up area.\n\n“Yo, Robs!” Martin clapped his shoulders from behind, then walked up next to him.\n\n“Hey,” Robbie said. He grinned. “Just gotta find Becky, and-“\n\n“I’m right here!” Becky said as she came up to Robbie’s other side. “Let’s find your dad!”\n \nIt didn’t take long for them to find the right car. The three cubs climbed into the back, as Dan always insisted they do, Robbie in the middle to keep the peace, and they settled in for the drive home.\n\n“So how was school?” Dan asked.\n\n“Good,” Robbie said. “One of Becky’s friends invited me to her birthday party next weekend.”\n\n“Oh, that’s lovely! Are you going to go?” Dan asked.\n\n“I think so, yeah,” Robbie said. “We’re in the same house so we see each other a lot, and she’s kinda cool.”\n\n“Ugh, gross,” Martin said.\n\n“Martiiiin,” Dan said.\n\nBecky looked over at the wolf. “What, are you gay, too?”\n\nThe wolf glared at her.\n\nRobbie looked at his boyfriend, then back at Becky. Oh how he wanted to tell her the truth! But Martin would kill him if he spilled, and he didn’t want to lose his boyfriend.\n\n“Fine, yes, I’m gay,” Martin said. “And if you tell anyone I’ll destroy you!”\n\nThe rabbit gasped. “So you ARE gay!” She giggled. “Got any crushes on booooys?”\n\n“And why would I tell you that? So you can spread it all around the school?” Martin asked.\n\n“Do I look like the rumor spreading type, Martin?” Becky asked.\n\n“What about with Tanya and Chuck?” Robbie piped up.\n\nBecky groaned. “That was just teasing between friends. Besides, anyone could’ve guessed the same with how they’re practically attached at the hip whenever they’re together.”\n\nMartin fluffed up. “If you can keep it strictly to yourself, I can tell you,” he said. “But seriously, you can’t tell anyone. If my parents find out, they’ll kill me. Like, for real kill me.”\n\n“I’m sure they wouldn’t KILL you,” Dan said. “But I do agree that it’s best to keep your sexuality strictly confidential.”\n\nThe rabbit blushed. “Yeah… I dunno how my parents would take it if they knew I liked girls, so I guess that makes sense,” she said. “Wait, you already knew, Mr. Langley?”\n\nDan chuckled. “There’s not a straight fur in this car.”\n\n“Yeah, my dad likes guys and girls, too,” Robbie said. “And well, you know I’m gay…”\n\n“And he’s my boyfriend,” Martin said.\n\nBecky squirmed. “Oh. I see.”\n\nRobbie looked at Martin. He was surprised that the wolf let that out. Hopefully Becky could keep it quiet. But since the question was out there… “Are there other boys you have crushes on?”\n\nThe wolf shrugged. “Eh, I dunno. I guess Kendal’s pretty hot. And Chuck’s hella cute.”\n\n“So you DO have a crush on him!” Robbie blurted out.\n\n“Yeah, I guess I do,” Martin said. “But it’s okay, I’m not gonna be leaving you for another boy.” He took Robbie’s paw and squeezed it.\n\n“I couldn’t blame you if it was Chuck, though,” Robbie said. “But he’s not interested in dating, so no threat there.”\n\n“Whoa, way to shoot a friend down,” Martin teased. He laughed and settled back. “Sweet, we’re here!”\n\nAs soon as his dad stopped the car, Martin was out. He grabbed his backpack and ran up to the door, running in place while he waited for Robbie’s dad to open the door. Robbie rolled his eyes as he got out of the car. Martin was such a ball of energy.\n\nWhen he got to the door, he noticed that Becky hadn’t followed them. “You coming, Becky?” he called.\n\n“Yeah, uh, one sec,” Becky said. She dragged herself out of the car and trudged up behind Robbie’s dad. What was her deal?\n\nMartin led the charge in once Dan unlocked the door. “I just gotta run to the bathroom real quick. Don’t get started gaming without me!” the wolf called.\n\nRobbie rolled his eyes. “Okay, Mart Mart.” He led the unusually quiet rabbit downstairs to the den.\n \nThe fox tossed his backpack down by the couch and grabbed the remote. He flicked on the TV as he went to turn on the Switch and get controllers out.\n\n“Umm… Robbie? Can I, umm, tell you something?”\n\nThe fox tilted his head.  “Uh, sure, Becky.  What’s up?”\n\nThe rabbit blushed and fidgeted.  Robbie had never seen her so nervous before. “Well… I do like girls, yeah. They’re so pretty, and they just… make my heart sing… but… I like boys, too.”\n\n“Oh,” Robbie said. Why was she telling him this? “So, uh, what kind of boys do you like?”\n\nBecky squirmed. “Well, I like boys who are smart and kind, considerate, boys who get me, who don’t talk down to me or treat me like I’m lesser just because I’m a girl. Boys… like you?”\n\nRobbie blinked. “Boys… like me?”\n\n“Well, of course boys like you, silly!” Martin said as he strode back into the room. “I certainly do!” The wolf hugged him, then stepped back, an eyebrow raised. “I walked in on the middle of something, didn’t I?”\n\n“N-no, nothing!” Becky said. She turned around and headed back to the couch. “Nothing happened!”\n\nWhat the heck was wrong with her? “Becky, do you… like me?” Robbie asked.\n\nShe whipped around to face him. “Of course not! Just because you’re everything I’d want in a boy, why would I like you? It’s not like there are literally no other boys in our school who will even give me the time of day.”\n\nThis was insane. Not twenty minutes ago he’d told her that he was dating Martin, and now here she was proclaiming that she liked him?! What could he possibly do?\n\n“Becky, I… look, I like you, too, but… I have a boyfriend,” Robbie said.\n\nShe went quiet and looked down at her footpaws. “I know… and I don’t want to get between you two… but I can’t help feeling how I feel…”\n\nMartin took Robbie’s paw. “Robbie, can I talk to you alone for a second?”\n\n“Uh, sure,” Robbie said. He followed the wolf out to the kitchen.\n\nOnce there, Martin glanced back down the hall, then looked Robbie straight in the eyes. “You told me a while back that you thought you might like girls too, right?”\n\nRobbie nodded. “Yeah… I think I still do…”\n\nThe wolf nodded. “And… do you like Becky?”\n\nThat was a tough question. He’d been friends with her for almost as long as he’d been friends with Martin. But liking her that way? Sure, the thought had crossed his mind, but he’d never really thought it a real possibility. Though at the same time, wasn’t he the same way with Martin, secretly wanting but not really sure until the moment that he found out that his feelings were reciprocated?\n\n“I… I think I do,” Robbie whispered.\n\nMartin nodded and squeezed Robbie’s paws. “Look… remember when we talked to Keith and your mom about polyamory, and they told us that not everyone has to be into each other to make it work, at long as everyone’s talking and doing their best to make everyone happy?” He took a breath. “Becky’s cool for a girl, but I don’t like her that way. But it doesn’t feel fair to either of you to keep you apart. So… if you wanna date both of us… I’m cool with it.”\n\nWhoa. He hadn’t expected his boyfriend to be the one to suggest that. But right now, the possibility that Martin had just offered seemed… enticing. Almost too good to be true.\n\n“Martin, are you SURE?” Robbie asked.\n\nThe wolf sighed. “No. I’m not sure.” He stepped forward and hugged Robbie. “But I wasn’t sure about us, either, about even telling you I liked you… and that worked out… so I’m willing to try.” He stepped back and looked into Robbie’s eyes. “But only if you want it, too.”\n\nRobbie bit his lip. He wasn’t hating the idea of having a boyfriend and a girlfriend. If anything, it felt nice. But one part still didn’t add up.\n\n“What about you?” Robbie asked. “Aren’t you going to feel jealous if I have two partners and you only have one?”\n\nHis friend didn’t miss a beat. “Nah. I can get my fill from you for now, and besides, I’m kinda hot. I’m sure I’ll find myself a second boyfriend in no time. Maybe Kendal, if I’m his type… he’s cute.”\n\nSuch confidence. Robbie’s heart fluttered. “Wait… but what about your family?”\n\nMartin shrugged. “I’ll figure it out. Trust me, I’m smarter than I look.” He winked, then gave Robbie a quick peck on the lips. “You don’t have to decide now, but I mean it. I’m okay with at least trying it.”\n\n“If you’re sure,” Robbie said.\n\nThe wolf nodded and grinned. If there was a tell that his confidence was anything but genuine, Robbie couldn’t find it.\n\n“Come on, let’s head back to the den,” Martin said.\n\nRobbie nodded and took his boyfriend’s paw. It felt weird, thinking about what they were about to do, and he’d DEFINITELY have to talk to his dad about it later, but right now, there was something more important to handle.\n\nThey found Becky sitting on the couch huddled in a ball. Her cheekfluff was damp from fresh tears. Robbie took a breath and let go of Martin’s paw, then sat down next to her.\n\n“Umm… B-Becky?” he said.\n\n“Yeah?” Her voice quavered.\n\nThe fox took a breath. This was harder than he thought it’d be. He looked up at Martin. The wolf gave him a thumbs up and one of his trademark confident smiles. Again, he couldn’t find any tell that his friend was being anything but honest with him.\n\n“So, uh,” Robbie began. “A little while ago, my parents told me that they’re… polyamorous.”\n\n“W-what’s that?” Becky asked.\n\nHe bit his lip. “It means that they love more than just one other fur. Like, my parents are both dating Jamie’s dad, for example…”\n\nBecky’s eyes widened. “Both of them? But… how does that even work?”\n\n“I dunno,” Robbie admitted. “I don’t exactly ask my parents about their, uh, private lives. But the point is, they have multiple partners…”\n\nThe rabbit sniffled. “Well, good for them,” she muttered.\n\n“And I was thinking,” Robbie continued. “Well… m-maybe I could be like that, too… I’ve, uh, been thinking about a lot of stuff, and…”\n\n“I’ll share him if you wanna date him,” Martin said, cutting into the conversation.\n\nRobbie bit his tongue. He wished that the wolf had let him say it, but at the same time he was grateful for the assist. What really mattered, though, was what Becky thought.\n\nShe looked from the wolf to the fox. “But… I can’t date both of you!” she said.\n\n“Eww, gross, no way!” Martin said. “But like, Keith’s boyfriend doesn’t have any interest in girls and he’s still dating Keith and Mr. Langley, so like… screw it, why not let my boyfriend explore his interest in girls. Right, Robs?”\n\nThe fox groaned. “You don’t have to say it like THAT,” he said. “But I really do kinda like you, Becky, and…”\n\n“Oh, so I’m just an experiment?” Becky asked. She glared at the fox.\n\n“No, no, nothing like that!” Robbie said. Things were going sideways quick. “Uh… crap, I just… you know what, forget it, forget I said anything…”\n\n“You two are nuts,” Becky said.\n\n“I am what I eat,” Martin said.\n\nRobbie and Becky blinked, then burst out laughing. The rabbit grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it at the wolf, who deftly dodged.\n\n“Martin, gross!” Becky cried through her giggles.\n\n“But it made ya laugh!” he retorted.\n\nThe fox leaned back as he caught his breath. “Oh, Martin… I love you.”\n\n“Love you too!” the wolf said. He slipped around behind the couch and kissed Robbie’s cheek. “But for real, Becks, think about it. I don’t mind sharing if you wanna try dating Robbie, see if that works out.”\n\nBecky raised an eyebrow and looked at him. “You sure?”\n\nMartin sighed. “No, I’m not. But if it’ll make my friends happy, I’ll try it.”\n\nThe rabbit looked at Robbie. “So what do YOU want?”\n\nThe spotlight was on the fox now. “I… I want both of you,” he muttered.\n\n“Dang, now I wish your sister WAS here,” Martin said.\n\nRobbie turned on Martin. “Who are you and what have you done with my real boyfriend?”\n\nThe wolf laughed. “Chill, I don’t mean doing anything with her. But if she and Jamie were here I could beat them in Smash while you and Becky do… whatever it is boys and girls do. Or like, talk to Keith again. He’s pretty rad.”\n\n“Please don’t try to have sex with Mr. Caulfield,” Robbie said.\n\n“But we’re trying polyamory, right?” Martin said.\n\nThe fox rolled his eyes. “That doesn’t give you free reign to do just ANY fur.”\n\n“Oh fine,” Martin said. “Hm… do you two want some alone time? I could go bug your dad for a bit.”\n\n“Don’t try to have sex with my dad, either!” Robbie said.\n\nMartin laughed. “Well you’re no fun.”\n\n“No, stay,” Becky said. “I don’t wanna feel like I’m going behind your back to be with Robbie. That feels… weird.”\n\nThe wolf shrugged. “Suit yourself.” He flopped down on the couch at Robbie’s other side. “So, we gonna game or just like… talk?”\n\n“Maybe talk?” Becky said.\n\nRobbie bit his tongue. Talking was NOT his forte, but he’d try it to make his friend happy. “Umm… sure… what about?”\n\nThe rabbit took a breath. “Well… for one thing… I’m dating Sophie…”\n\n“Whoa, she’s gay, too?” Martin asked.\n\nBecky bit her lip and nodded. “Yeah, but that’s a secret, just like you being gay.”\n\nMartin raised an eyebrow. “Well, I guess if you’ve kept that secret you can keep mine. But, like… geez, you’ve got a girlfriend and still want Robbie?”\n\nSomething wasn’t adding up to Robbie. “So you don’t wanna go behind Martin’s back to be with me… but you’ll go behind your girlfriend’s back to do it?”\n\n“That’s the big problem!” Becky said. “I really wanna be with both of you, but I can’t just… do that. Much as I really wanna try being with a boy like Jesus intended…”\n\n“Oh, I see how it is,” Martin said. “He’s just a cover-up.”\n\n“No, it’s not like that, either!” Becky said. “I just… I don’t know if I want to be with a boy or a girl!”\n\nRobbie chuckled. “Por que no los dos? But I think we know the answer.”\n\n“Shoulda stuck with Spanish insteada French,” Martin muttered.\n\n“Yeah, yeah,” Robbie said, rolling his eyes. “But seriously Becky… maybe you should talk to Sophie about it, face to face, before we talk about dating. Okay?”\n\nBecky sighed. “I guess… but I still really wanna try…”\n\n“I’d be pissed if my boyfriend slept with a girl without asking me first,” Martin said.\n\n“What about kissing?” Becky asked.\n\nThe fox stared at her incredulously. “Becky… calm down. Yeah, we might like each other, but you’re with Sophie. If she’s okay with it, THEN we can try.”\n\nThe rabbit opened her mouth to respond, then closed it. For once, she was speechless. After a very long pause, she muttered one single word: “How?”\n\nThat was a good question. Robbie shrugged. “Maybe my mom or dad could help. Do you wanna try talking to them?”\n\nBecky shrugged. “I guess it’s worth a try… I’ll ask your mom. When does she get home again?”\n\n“Usually like seven, seven thirty,” Robbie said.\n\n“Okay,” Becky said.\n\nMartin grabbed up the controllers. “Well, why don’t we game until dinner, then?”\n\nRobbie was relieved by the shift of subject. Becky smiled weakly and took a controller, and before they knew it, they were deep into games.\n \nDinner time rolled around, breaking off their gaming session. Becky was unusually quiet during dinner. As he sometimes did, Dan made a vegetarian option for the family with Becky present. Robbie didn’t mind. His veggie lasagna was almost as good as the version he made with meat.\n\nAs dinner wound down, Becky cleared her throat. “Umm, Dr. Langley? C-could I talk to you alone for a bit?”\n\nTerry smiled at the rabbit girl. “Of course. We can step into my office and chat.”\n\nRobbie watched them go. What would they say? \n\nHe didn’t have long to contemplate. Martin grabbed his paw and dragged him upstairs to the fox’s bedroom.\n\n“Why’re we heading here?” Robbie asked once they got in.\n\n“S’more comfy,” Martin said. “They might be a while, and I need my boyfriend.”\n\nThe fox smirked. Of course Martin was horny. He allowed himself to be stripped, then eagerly undressed his boyfriend. The wolf took his paw and hopped into the fox’s bed. “Ready for me?” Martin asked.\n\n“Actually… gimme a sec,” Robbie said. He dashed out of the bedroom and into his parents’ bedroom to borrow that bottle of clear liquid. When he returned, he went right to the bed and showed it to Martin. “I wanna try something new.”\n\nMartin smirked when he saw the bottle. “Foxglide. What’s that?”\n\n“It’s the brand of lube my parents use,” Robbie said. He opened up the bottle and looked at his bed. Eh, his sheets needed to be washed soon, anyway. “Anyway, I’ve been, uh… experimenting… and I wondered if you might wanna… do me in the butt.”\n\nThe wolf’s eyes widened along with his grin. “Hell yeah!” He took the bottle and slipped around on top of the fox as he laid back. “Uh… what do I do with this?”\n\n“Pour some on your cock, then you can slip it in,” Robbie said. He spread his legs, displaying his bottom to his boyfriend.\n\nHis boyfriend followed his instructions, rubbing it onto his penis. “Dang… this feels pretty good…”\n\nRobbie blushed. Would he say the same when he got into Robbie’s butt? Only one way to find out.\n\nMartin grinned and braced himself over the fox, one paw holding himself up as his other paw guided his erection to his boyfriend’s tailhole. Both boys shivered with anticipation. The boys had both watched porn, even if not together, and Robbie had toyed and knew he liked it. Maybe this would be better than a toy.\n\nBoth boys shivered as Martin’s tip pressed again Robbie’s tailhole.\n\n“Go slow to start, okay?” Robbie said.\n\nThe wolf nodded and slowly pushed in. They moaned. Yes, a real dick DID feel better than a toy. His toes curled as his boyfriend hilted in him.\n\n“Oh gods,” Martin muttered.\n\n“Do I feel good inside?” Robbie asked.\n\n“This is the BEST,” Martin said. He leaned down and kissed Robbie on the lips, though he slipped out when he did.\n\nMartin quickly got himself back up and slipped back in, then lifted the fox’s legs. “This might work better,” he said. “Lemme know if you need me to change up speeds.”\n\nRobbie nodded. This was it. His first time getting really fucked by his boyfriend.\n\nThe wolf started moving his hips, slow and gentle. It felt so much better than just a toy. Robbie grabbed pawfuls of the bedsheets and moaned, trembling as his boyfriend fucked him. No wonder guys seemed to like this so much in porn!\n\n“Ngh… feels so good… I dunno how long I can last,” Martin said.\n\nThe fox beamed. He was making his boyfriend feel good, too. “I don’t mind… try going faster…”\n\nHis boyfriend nodded and started pumping faster. That felt even better. The fox grabbed onto his dick and started stroking it, until Martin batted it away.\n\n“That’s my job,” Martin said. He held onto the fox’s legs with one arm while his other paw stroked the fox. He seemed to be having a little trouble keeping up his pace while stroking him, but the fox didn’t mind. It felt too good being fucked like this.\n\nBefore he knew it, the familiar tingles of orgasm started welling up. The fox arched his back as all of a sudden he his climax, his cock twitching in dry orgasm. His tailhole clenched around Martin, and he heard his boyfriend moaning.\n\nRobbie bit his lip as the stimulation from his boyfriend’s paw got too intense. “M-Martin, stop,” he muttered.\n\nThe wolf stopped immediately and looked down at his friend. “You okay, dude?”\n\nThe fox nodded. “Y-yeah… just… t-too much stimulation…”\n\n“Ah, I got you off,” Martin said. He grinned and poked the fox’s nose. “So, uh, do you want me to stop, uh… doing you?”\n\n“Well, did you cum?” Robbie asked. Martin shook his head. “Then keep going.”\n\nHe got a grin in reply. The wolf eased himself back up and grabbed hold of Robbie’s legs again, then resumed thrusting.\n\n“Gods you feel so good,” Martin muttered.\n\nRobbie beamed. Knowing that he was making his boyfriend feel good only intensified his own satisfaction. “I wanna feel you squirt in me.”\n\nThe wolf grinned. “Just you wait,” he said. He picked up his pace, panting as he pumped into the chubby fox’s tailhole.\n\nHis thrusts stopped suddenly, the wolf pressing in deep. Was he cumming inside him? Oh gods, that was a hot thought.\n\nMartin gave a few more thrusts, then leaned down and kissed him. “Didja feel it?”\n\nRobbie nodded. He hadn’t, but he didn’t want his boyfriend to know. “Uh huh…”\n\n“Good.” He hugged the Robbie and kissed him again. “I love you, Robbie,” Martin whispered.\n\nThe fox grinned and kissed him back. “Love you too, Mart Mart…”\n\n“Well that was hot,” Becky said.\n\nBoth boys’ heads whipped around to look at the rabbit standing at the door. She had stripped herself and had a paw between her legs.\n\n“How long have YOU been there?” Martin asked.\n\n“Just a minute or two,” Becky said. “Hope you don’t mind. I finished talking to Robbie’s mom and you weren’t in the basement.”\n\nThe wolf rolled his eyes. “Eh, I guess it’s okay. Just don’t try to touch me.” \n\nThey gasped as his penis slipped out of Robbie’s tailhole, leaving the boy feeling empty. Gods, that was good. Robbie gave the wolf an awkward grin. “We should wash up, then we can get back to gaming.”\n\n“Deal,” Martin said. He gave his boyfriend one more quick peck on the lips before they got out of bed and made for the bathroom.\n\nAs they washed up, Martin cleared his throat. “So how do we want this polyamory stuff to work out, anyway?”\n\nRobbie blinked. He hadn’t really thought all that much about it. “Uh… I dunno. I’m not really sure how this polyamory thing works, myself.”\n\n“Wanna go ask your dad?” Martin asked.\n\nThat sounded like a good idea. His parents were experienced in this, and Dad had never steered him wrong before. “Sure. Just lemme ask Becky.”\n\nThe wolf rolled his eyes but didn’t argue. Once they were cleaned up, they went downstairs. The fox’s father was in the living room reading a book.\n\nHe was just about to head down to the den when Martin spoke up. “Hey, Mr. L, can Robbie and I talk to you about something real quick?”\n\nThe fox froze. So much for talking to Becky first.\n\nHis father put his book down and looked at the boys. “Sure thing. What’s up, boys?”\n\n“I was wondering if you could give us some tips about polyamory,” Martin said.\n\nRobbie tucked his tail between his legs as he walked over. Hopefully Becky wouldn’t mind if they took just a little longer.\n\nDan chuckled. “I think I can do that. Communication is very important, for starters.”\n\n“Yeah, Mr. Cau- uh, Keith, told us some about that a little while back,” Martin said. “But I was thinking stuff, like… how do you decide if a new partner’s okay?”\n\n“That’s really up to you boys to decide for yourselves,” Dan said. “But for example, the rule that Terry and I have is to clear new partners with each other first, play safe until we can trust them, and no keeping things secret. If something happens with a new partner, it happens. She likes the full details, Keith is more of ‘just tell me it happened but I don’t need to know details’ kinda guy.”\n\nThe boys nodded. That all made sense. “I dunno if I’d wanna know the details if my boyfriend slept with someone else,” Robbie muttered.\n\nMartin threw his arm around Robbie’s shoulders. “And I don’t want any details if you sleep with girls. But tell me all about boys!”\n\nDan laughed. “That sounds about right for you two. Do you want to know ahead of time, or just let things happen naturally and talk about it afterwards?”\n\nRobbie rubbed his chin. “Umm… I guess naturally. I don’t wanna cock block my Martin if he gets a chance to play with another boy.”\n\n“Sweet!” Martin said. “I guess same for you. Gotta make sure my boyfriend’s happy, right?” He kissed the fox’s cheek and gave him a little side hug.\n\n“Just make sure to keep checking in as things happen, and be honest with yourselves and each other,” Dan said. “You might be fine with it now, but your feelings might be different when it happens.”\n\nButterflies filled Robbie’s stomach. How WOULD he feel if Martin slept with another boy? There was a twinge of jealousy, sure, but would it be worth it to keep his wolf happy? Maybe that was a good question for Dad.\n\n“What if I get jealous?” Robbie asked.\n\n“Jealousy’s a natural emotion to feel,” Dan said. “If it happens, talk through it, with each other, and with me or your mother if you like. We’ll be happy to help guide you boys.”\n\nRobbie nodded. At least jealousy wasn’t a sign that polyamory couldn’t work. “Okay. Thanks, Dad.”\n\n“Any time, kit,” Dan said.\n\nMartin grabbed Robbie’s paw. “Cool. Now let’s go kick Becky’s ass at Smash!”\n\nThe fox smirked. “If she doesn’t kick yours first.”\n\nWhat a night.",

For those who we haven&#039;t scared off&hellip; enjoy!<br /><br /><br />&nbsp;<br />Health class was the absolute worst. Why did they need to have a dedicated class every week talking about how it&rsquo;s important to diet and exercise? Though apparently next week they&rsquo;d be shifting into puberty. And from what Martin told him, that would mean sex ed. Which he already knew! At least he could zone out for that one.<br /><br />The bell for lunch couldn&rsquo;t come soon enough. He was relieved to move on to the cafeteria for his favorite period.<br /><br />Martin caught up with him as he got into the lunch line, dragging Chuck along as usual. &ldquo;Hey, Robs!&rdquo;<br /><br />The fox smiled. &ldquo;Hey, Mart Mart. Hey Chuck. Sup?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Same old same old,&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;Looking forward to lunch?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Duh!&rdquo; Robbie said. &ldquo;What about you, Chuck?&rdquo;<br /><br />The border collie shrugged. &ldquo;I guess.&rdquo; He stared down at his footpaws as he leaned into Martin.<br /><br />That seemed a little odd. He still had to try to find a moment to ask Martin if he had a crush on Chuck, but the way the pup was leaning into him&hellip; could he have a crush on Martin, too? It would explain why he took so poorly to the teasing about dating Tanya. Maybe he&rsquo;d have to ask the border collie about that sometime. Sure, at their last sleepover he&rsquo;d said he hadn&rsquo;t thought about dating, but maybe that would change as he got more comfortable with his friends.<br /><br />Once they got through the lunch line - chicken patty and tots day was one of Robbie&rsquo;s favorites - they got to their usual table. Martin and Chuck took the end spots, and Robbie slipped in next to his boyfriend.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey, dudes! Mind if I join you?&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie blinked and looked over. Kendal, the cheetah on the school soccer team, was standing there with an expectant smile. It wasn&rsquo;t uncommon for the cheetah to join them, but it was always unexpected when he did.<br /><br />&ldquo;Heck yeah!&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;Robs, you mind if Kendal and I sit next to each other?&rdquo;<br /><br />The fox stared at his boyfriend. &ldquo;Uh, sure, I guess.&rdquo; He slid his tray across the table and slipped around to sit next to Chuck as Kendal took his place. It hurt a little that his boyfriend displaced him for one of the soccer players, but it made sense in a way, too. Chuck probably wouldn&rsquo;t like sitting next to him.<br /><br />As he settled in, Becky and Tanya joined them. Robbie felt a little bad separating the two of them, but he figured they wouldn&rsquo;t mind. They&rsquo;d been spending almost every recess together, either in a quiet corner of the school yard or, more recently, in Mr. Fox&rsquo;s classroom. They sometimes even asked him to join them when he wasn&rsquo;t hanging out with Becky or Martin.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey Robbie, ready for our sleepover tonight?&rdquo; Becky asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Whoa, boy girl sleepovers?&rdquo; Kendal said. &ldquo;Weird. I wouldn&rsquo;t wanna sleep over with a girl.&rdquo;<br /><br />Martin laughed. &ldquo;Becky&rsquo;s cool, though. She&rsquo;s kinda like a boy. She likes video games and stuff.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And I&rsquo;ll kick your butt at Smash like I always do!&rdquo; the rabbit said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Dang,&rdquo; Kendal said. &ldquo;A girl who&rsquo;s good at video games? This I gotta see. Maybe some day I can tag along.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We usually do &lsquo;em at Robbie&rsquo;s house, though,&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;My place isn&rsquo;t great &lsquo;cause my brothers are jerks, and Becky&rsquo;s got like a thousand brothers and sisters.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;There&rsquo;s only eight of them,&rdquo; Becky said.<br /><br />Kendal giggled. &ldquo;Wow, how do you even survive a place like that? I can barely handle my older sister!&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie sighed and dug into his food, tuning out the cubs on the other side of the table as they got into a heated discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of siblings. By the time he finished his food, he noted that Chuck was nearly full-on leaning into him. Was that a sign of something? It almost sucked that his recess would most likely be dominated by the wolf and the rabbit. He really wanted to ask Chuck if he liked boys! It&rsquo;d be nice if the border collie was a boy like him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, as long as you don&rsquo;t try to kiss me or anything, I guess we can be friends,&rdquo; Kendal said.<br /><br />&ldquo;What, afraid I&rsquo;ll give you cooties?&rdquo; Becky teased.<br /><br />The cheetah rolled his eyes. &ldquo;No, I&rsquo;m not a baby. I&rsquo;m just not into girls.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Whoa, you&rsquo;re gay?&rdquo; Becky asked.<br /><br />Kendal grinned. &ldquo;Yup!&rdquo;<br /><br />Wait, was that why Martin wanted to sit next to Kendal? Oh no, was he going to try to leave him for the cheetah? His anxiety spiked.<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a good thing you like girls, then.&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie was surprised to hear the voice to his right. Tanya rarely spoke during lunch.<br /><br />It seemed to catch Becky off guard. &ldquo;Yeah, I guess it&rsquo;s a good thing I&rsquo;m gay, too.&rdquo; She blushed a little.<br /><br />The cheetah beamed. &ldquo;Oh, cool! I&rsquo;d join the GSA if soccer practice didn&rsquo;t get in the way of clubs. You&rsquo;re okay, then.&rdquo;<br /><br />Wait, Becky was gay, too? And if Chuck was&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;Hehe&hellip; three gays at the table, huh?&rdquo; Robbie said.<br /><br />Becky piped up first. &ldquo;Who&rsquo;s the third?&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie raised a paw. He hoped that outing himself wouldn&rsquo;t cause Martin to freak. If the wolf minded, he didn&rsquo;t say anything.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, neat!&rdquo; Kendal said. &ldquo;Guess you&rsquo;re my first gay friend!&rdquo;<br /><br />The fox blinked. &ldquo;I&hellip; didn&rsquo;t know we were friends?&rdquo;<br /><br />Kendal laughed. &ldquo;Why wouldn&rsquo;t we be? You&rsquo;re my best bud&rsquo;s best bud. Heck, maybe we can hang out sometime. I can ask my mom if I can have you over.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You aren&rsquo;t trying to date him, are you?&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />The cheetah shook his head. &ldquo;Robbie&rsquo;s not really my type, no offense. But it&rsquo;s cool to have another gay friend!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah,&rdquo; Robbie said. He glanced at Martin. The wolf gave him a subtle shake of his head. Then he looked over at Chuck. The pup had stiffened. Was that a sign that he was gay, or wasn&rsquo;t it? He was so hard to read. The fox really needed to ask him if he could get the pup alone.<br /><br />&ldquo;What about you, Marts? Which team do you bat for?&rdquo; Kendal asked.<br /><br />The wolf shook his head. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t really know yet,&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s fair,&rdquo; Kendal said. He clapped the wolf on the shoulder. &ldquo;Well, if you ever wanna try things with a boy, you&rsquo;ve got two gay friends to try stuff out with, right, Robbie?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Haha, yeah,&rdquo; Robbie said. Little did Kendal know that Martin was already doing things with the fox. With some frequency. Every time he came over to Robbie&rsquo;s house, in fact. He wondered if Martin would still want to get in some sex with Becky around. It was their first sleepover with her since they&rsquo;d become boyfriends, after all. Guess he&rsquo;d find out in a few hours.<br /><br />As lunch came to an end, Chuck and Tanya slipped away. It looked like they were on their way to Mr. Fox&rsquo;s classroom. Figured. Kendal split off from their group, too, heading off for an impromptu recess soccer game, leaving the fox with Martin and Becky.<br /><br />&ldquo;Your dad&rsquo;s picking us all up after school still, right Robs?&rdquo; Martin asked as they found a seat under a tree at the edge of the school yard.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yup, just like he always does for our sleepovers,&rdquo; Robbie said. &ldquo;Can&rsquo;t wait to have you guys over. It&rsquo;s been too long.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You know you just have to ask me!&rdquo; Becky said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Is your little sister gonna be there, too?&rdquo; Martin asked.<br /><br />Robbie shook his head. &ldquo;She&rsquo;s spending the night with Jamie.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sweet! So she&rsquo;ll be out of our headfur!&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey!&rdquo; Becky said. &ldquo;I kinda like Robbie&rsquo;s sister!&rdquo;<br /><br />The fox sighed as the wolf and rabbit got into an argument about Ellie. How typical of them. He stared off into the crowd, trying to tune them out. His eyes widened as he spotted Sophie heading towards them.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey, Robbie,&rdquo; she said as she got close.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, uh, hi Sophie,&rdquo; Robbie said. He glanced over at Becky and Martin, who were too wrapped up in their argument about the merits of Ellie&rsquo;s little sister to even notice that they had a fourth. &ldquo;Umm&hellip; what&rsquo;s up?&rdquo;<br /><br />The golden retriever leaned over and booped Becky&rsquo;s nose, bringing her argument with Martin to an abrupt pause. &ldquo;I wanted to invite the three of you to my house next weekend for my birthday sleepover.&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie blinked. &ldquo;All of us?&rdquo;<br /><br />Becky gasped. &ldquo;You got your mom&rsquo;s permission for a boy-girl sleepover? That&rsquo;s awesome!&rdquo;<br /><br />The wolf scoffed. &ldquo;What do you care? Didn&rsquo;t you just tell us that you&rsquo;re gay?&rdquo; He raised an eyebrow and looked at the pup. &ldquo;And why me?&rdquo;<br /><br />Sophie rolled her eyes. &ldquo;Because you&rsquo;re Robbie&rsquo;s best friend, and I thought it would be rude to invite him and not you. I&rsquo;ve also invited Tanya and your border collie friend.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And who else?&rdquo; Becky asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Just you five,&rdquo; Sophie said. &ldquo;Mother wants me to invite Alexis and the bitch squad, but I refuse. It&rsquo;s my birthday party and I want my friends there. And I guess you get a pass, wolf. Don&rsquo;t feel like you have to say yes.&rdquo;<br /><br />Martin rolled his eyes. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t seriously think my Robbie&rsquo;s gonna go, do you?&rdquo;<br /><br />The fox blushed. It felt almost like a betrayal of his boyfriend to think this, but Sophie had been&hellip; a lot friendlier to him since school started. She was actually kinda cool, which was shocking because the rest of her new friend group were awful.<br /><br />&ldquo;I mean&hellip; Sophie&rsquo;s kinda nice&hellip; it might be cool to hang out with her outside of school,&rdquo; Robbie said. &ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t mind going, if you&rsquo;re sure you really want me there.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Wait, Robs, are you serious?!&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />He took a breath and nodded. &ldquo;I am, yes.&rdquo;<br /><br />The golden retriever beamed. &ldquo;Wonderful. It&rsquo;ll be next Saturday night. Have your parents drop you off around noon.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ugh, that means I have to get a gift for a girl,&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;What do girls even like?&rdquo;<br /><br />Becky giggled. &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry, Marts, I can give you some ideas at our sleepover tonight.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And I&rsquo;ll need to pick your bunny brain for gift ideas for the boys,&rdquo; Sophie said.<br /><br />Martin&rsquo;s eyes bulged. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t seriously think I&rsquo;d invite you to my birthday, do you?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I usually just have Martin and Becky over for my birthday,&rdquo; Robbie muttered. &ldquo;But I guess I&rsquo;ll invite Chuck this year&hellip; I guess I could invite you, too, Sophie.&rdquo;<br /><br />The golden retriever giggled. &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t feel obligated, it was just a thought. So I&rsquo;ll see you three next Saturday?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Duh!&rdquo; Becky said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Count me in,&rdquo; Robbie said.<br /><br />Martin rolled his eyes. &ldquo;Ugh. I&rsquo;ll think about it,&rdquo; he said.<br /><br />The rest of recess and the school day went by in a blur. Robbie was still shocked that he&rsquo;d been invited to Sophie&rsquo;s birthday party. Of all the furs to invite, why him?<br /><br />He let that thought slide as the end of day approached. When the final bell rang, his spirits lifted. After a quick stop at his locker, he made for the parent pick-up area.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yo, Robs!&rdquo; Martin clapped his shoulders from behind, then walked up next to him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey,&rdquo; Robbie said. He grinned. &ldquo;Just gotta find Becky, and-&ldquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m right here!&rdquo; Becky said as she came up to Robbie&rsquo;s other side. &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s find your dad!&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;<br />It didn&rsquo;t take long for them to find the right car. The three cubs climbed into the back, as Dan always insisted they do, Robbie in the middle to keep the peace, and they settled in for the drive home.<br /><br />&ldquo;So how was school?&rdquo; Dan asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Good,&rdquo; Robbie said. &ldquo;One of Becky&rsquo;s friends invited me to her birthday party next weekend.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, that&rsquo;s lovely! Are you going to go?&rdquo; Dan asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;I think so, yeah,&rdquo; Robbie said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re in the same house so we see each other a lot, and she&rsquo;s kinda cool.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ugh, gross,&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Martiiiin,&rdquo; Dan said.<br /><br />Becky looked over at the wolf. &ldquo;What, are you gay, too?&rdquo;<br /><br />The wolf glared at her.<br /><br />Robbie looked at his boyfriend, then back at Becky. Oh how he wanted to tell her the truth! But Martin would kill him if he spilled, and he didn&rsquo;t want to lose his boyfriend.<br /><br />&ldquo;Fine, yes, I&rsquo;m gay,&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;And if you tell anyone I&rsquo;ll destroy you!&rdquo;<br /><br />The rabbit gasped. &ldquo;So you ARE gay!&rdquo; She giggled. &ldquo;Got any crushes on booooys?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And why would I tell you that? So you can spread it all around the school?&rdquo; Martin asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Do I look like the rumor spreading type, Martin?&rdquo; Becky asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;What about with Tanya and Chuck?&rdquo; Robbie piped up.<br /><br />Becky groaned. &ldquo;That was just teasing between friends. Besides, anyone could&rsquo;ve guessed the same with how they&rsquo;re practically attached at the hip whenever they&rsquo;re together.&rdquo;<br /><br />Martin fluffed up. &ldquo;If you can keep it strictly to yourself, I can tell you,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;But seriously, you can&rsquo;t tell anyone. If my parents find out, they&rsquo;ll kill me. Like, for real kill me.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure they wouldn&rsquo;t KILL you,&rdquo; Dan said. &ldquo;But I do agree that it&rsquo;s best to keep your sexuality strictly confidential.&rdquo;<br /><br />The rabbit blushed. &ldquo;Yeah&hellip; I dunno how my parents would take it if they knew I liked girls, so I guess that makes sense,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;Wait, you already knew, Mr. Langley?&rdquo;<br /><br />Dan chuckled. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s not a straight fur in this car.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, my dad likes guys and girls, too,&rdquo; Robbie said. &ldquo;And well, you know I&rsquo;m gay&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And he&rsquo;s my boyfriend,&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />Becky squirmed. &ldquo;Oh. I see.&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie looked at Martin. He was surprised that the wolf let that out. Hopefully Becky could keep it quiet. But since the question was out there&hellip; &ldquo;Are there other boys you have crushes on?&rdquo;<br /><br />The wolf shrugged. &ldquo;Eh, I dunno. I guess Kendal&rsquo;s pretty hot. And Chuck&rsquo;s hella cute.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;So you DO have a crush on him!&rdquo; Robbie blurted out.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, I guess I do,&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;But it&rsquo;s okay, I&rsquo;m not gonna be leaving you for another boy.&rdquo; He took Robbie&rsquo;s paw and squeezed it.<br /><br />&ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t blame you if it was Chuck, though,&rdquo; Robbie said. &ldquo;But he&rsquo;s not interested in dating, so no threat there.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Whoa, way to shoot a friend down,&rdquo; Martin teased. He laughed and settled back. &ldquo;Sweet, we&rsquo;re here!&rdquo;<br /><br />As soon as his dad stopped the car, Martin was out. He grabbed his backpack and ran up to the door, running in place while he waited for Robbie&rsquo;s dad to open the door. Robbie rolled his eyes as he got out of the car. Martin was such a ball of energy.<br /><br />When he got to the door, he noticed that Becky hadn&rsquo;t followed them. &ldquo;You coming, Becky?&rdquo; he called.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, uh, one sec,&rdquo; Becky said. She dragged herself out of the car and trudged up behind Robbie&rsquo;s dad. What was her deal?<br /><br />Martin led the charge in once Dan unlocked the door. &ldquo;I just gotta run to the bathroom real quick. Don&rsquo;t get started gaming without me!&rdquo; the wolf called.<br /><br />Robbie rolled his eyes. &ldquo;Okay, Mart Mart.&rdquo; He led the unusually quiet rabbit downstairs to the den.<br />&nbsp;<br />The fox tossed his backpack down by the couch and grabbed the remote. He flicked on the TV as he went to turn on the Switch and get controllers out.<br /><br />&ldquo;Umm&hellip; Robbie? Can I, umm, tell you something?&rdquo;<br /><br />The fox tilted his head.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Uh, sure, Becky.&nbsp;&nbsp;What&rsquo;s up?&rdquo;<br /><br />The rabbit blushed and fidgeted.&nbsp;&nbsp;Robbie had never seen her so nervous before. &ldquo;Well&hellip; I do like girls, yeah. They&rsquo;re so pretty, and they just&hellip; make my heart sing&hellip; but&hellip; I like boys, too.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh,&rdquo; Robbie said. Why was she telling him this? &ldquo;So, uh, what kind of boys do you like?&rdquo;<br /><br />Becky squirmed. &ldquo;Well, I like boys who are smart and kind, considerate, boys who get me, who don&rsquo;t talk down to me or treat me like I&rsquo;m lesser just because I&rsquo;m a girl. Boys&hellip; like you?&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie blinked. &ldquo;Boys&hellip; like me?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, of course boys like you, silly!&rdquo; Martin said as he strode back into the room. &ldquo;I certainly do!&rdquo; The wolf hugged him, then stepped back, an eyebrow raised. &ldquo;I walked in on the middle of something, didn&rsquo;t I?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;N-no, nothing!&rdquo; Becky said. She turned around and headed back to the couch. &ldquo;Nothing happened!&rdquo;<br /><br />What the heck was wrong with her? &ldquo;Becky, do you&hellip; like me?&rdquo; Robbie asked.<br /><br />She whipped around to face him. &ldquo;Of course not! Just because you&rsquo;re everything I&rsquo;d want in a boy, why would I like you? It&rsquo;s not like there are literally no other boys in our school who will even give me the time of day.&rdquo;<br /><br />This was insane. Not twenty minutes ago he&rsquo;d told her that he was dating Martin, and now here she was proclaiming that she liked him?! What could he possibly do?<br /><br />&ldquo;Becky, I&hellip; look, I like you, too, but&hellip; I have a boyfriend,&rdquo; Robbie said.<br /><br />She went quiet and looked down at her footpaws. &ldquo;I know&hellip; and I don&rsquo;t want to get between you two&hellip; but I can&rsquo;t help feeling how I feel&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />Martin took Robbie&rsquo;s paw. &ldquo;Robbie, can I talk to you alone for a second?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Uh, sure,&rdquo; Robbie said. He followed the wolf out to the kitchen.<br /><br />Once there, Martin glanced back down the hall, then looked Robbie straight in the eyes. &ldquo;You told me a while back that you thought you might like girls too, right?&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie nodded. &ldquo;Yeah&hellip; I think I still do&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />The wolf nodded. &ldquo;And&hellip; do you like Becky?&rdquo;<br /><br />That was a tough question. He&rsquo;d been friends with her for almost as long as he&rsquo;d been friends with Martin. But liking her that way? Sure, the thought had crossed his mind, but he&rsquo;d never really thought it a real possibility. Though at the same time, wasn&rsquo;t he the same way with Martin, secretly wanting but not really sure until the moment that he found out that his feelings were reciprocated?<br /><br />&ldquo;I&hellip; I think I do,&rdquo; Robbie whispered.<br /><br />Martin nodded and squeezed Robbie&rsquo;s paws. &ldquo;Look&hellip; remember when we talked to Keith and your mom about polyamory, and they told us that not everyone has to be into each other to make it work, at long as everyone&rsquo;s talking and doing their best to make everyone happy?&rdquo; He took a breath. &ldquo;Becky&rsquo;s cool for a girl, but I don&rsquo;t like her that way. But it doesn&rsquo;t feel fair to either of you to keep you apart. So&hellip; if you wanna date both of us&hellip; I&rsquo;m cool with it.&rdquo;<br /><br />Whoa. He hadn&rsquo;t expected his boyfriend to be the one to suggest that. But right now, the possibility that Martin had just offered seemed&hellip; enticing. Almost too good to be true.<br /><br />&ldquo;Martin, are you SURE?&rdquo; Robbie asked.<br /><br />The wolf sighed. &ldquo;No. I&rsquo;m not sure.&rdquo; He stepped forward and hugged Robbie. &ldquo;But I wasn&rsquo;t sure about us, either, about even telling you I liked you&hellip; and that worked out&hellip; so I&rsquo;m willing to try.&rdquo; He stepped back and looked into Robbie&rsquo;s eyes. &ldquo;But only if you want it, too.&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie bit his lip. He wasn&rsquo;t hating the idea of having a boyfriend and a girlfriend. If anything, it felt nice. But one part still didn&rsquo;t add up.<br /><br />&ldquo;What about you?&rdquo; Robbie asked. &ldquo;Aren&rsquo;t you going to feel jealous if I have two partners and you only have one?&rdquo;<br /><br />His friend didn&rsquo;t miss a beat. &ldquo;Nah. I can get my fill from you for now, and besides, I&rsquo;m kinda hot. I&rsquo;m sure I&rsquo;ll find myself a second boyfriend in no time. Maybe Kendal, if I&rsquo;m his type&hellip; he&rsquo;s cute.&rdquo;<br /><br />Such confidence. Robbie&rsquo;s heart fluttered. &ldquo;Wait&hellip; but what about your family?&rdquo;<br /><br />Martin shrugged. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll figure it out. Trust me, I&rsquo;m smarter than I look.&rdquo; He winked, then gave Robbie a quick peck on the lips. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t have to decide now, but I mean it. I&rsquo;m okay with at least trying it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;If you&rsquo;re sure,&rdquo; Robbie said.<br /><br />The wolf nodded and grinned. If there was a tell that his confidence was anything but genuine, Robbie couldn&rsquo;t find it.<br /><br />&ldquo;Come on, let&rsquo;s head back to the den,&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />Robbie nodded and took his boyfriend&rsquo;s paw. It felt weird, thinking about what they were about to do, and he&rsquo;d DEFINITELY have to talk to his dad about it later, but right now, there was something more important to handle.<br /><br />They found Becky sitting on the couch huddled in a ball. Her cheekfluff was damp from fresh tears. Robbie took a breath and let go of Martin&rsquo;s paw, then sat down next to her.<br /><br />&ldquo;Umm&hellip; B-Becky?&rdquo; he said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah?&rdquo; Her voice quavered.<br /><br />The fox took a breath. This was harder than he thought it&rsquo;d be. He looked up at Martin. The wolf gave him a thumbs up and one of his trademark confident smiles. Again, he couldn&rsquo;t find any tell that his friend was being anything but honest with him.<br /><br />&ldquo;So, uh,&rdquo; Robbie began. &ldquo;A little while ago, my parents told me that they&rsquo;re&hellip; polyamorous.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;W-what&rsquo;s that?&rdquo; Becky asked.<br /><br />He bit his lip. &ldquo;It means that they love more than just one other fur. Like, my parents are both dating Jamie&rsquo;s dad, for example&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />Becky&rsquo;s eyes widened. &ldquo;Both of them? But&hellip; how does that even work?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I dunno,&rdquo; Robbie admitted. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t exactly ask my parents about their, uh, private lives. But the point is, they have multiple partners&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />The rabbit sniffled. &ldquo;Well, good for them,&rdquo; she muttered.<br /><br />&ldquo;And I was thinking,&rdquo; Robbie continued. &ldquo;Well&hellip; m-maybe I could be like that, too&hellip; I&rsquo;ve, uh, been thinking about a lot of stuff, and&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll share him if you wanna date him,&rdquo; Martin said, cutting into the conversation.<br /><br />Robbie bit his tongue. He wished that the wolf had let him say it, but at the same time he was grateful for the assist. What really mattered, though, was what Becky thought.<br /><br />She looked from the wolf to the fox. &ldquo;But&hellip; I can&rsquo;t date both of you!&rdquo; she said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Eww, gross, no way!&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;But like, Keith&rsquo;s boyfriend doesn&rsquo;t have any interest in girls and he&rsquo;s still dating Keith and Mr. Langley, so like&hellip; screw it, why not let my boyfriend explore his interest in girls. Right, Robs?&rdquo;<br /><br />The fox groaned. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t have to say it like THAT,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;But I really do kinda like you, Becky, and&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, so I&rsquo;m just an experiment?&rdquo; Becky asked. She glared at the fox.<br /><br />&ldquo;No, no, nothing like that!&rdquo; Robbie said. Things were going sideways quick. &ldquo;Uh&hellip; crap, I just&hellip; you know what, forget it, forget I said anything&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You two are nuts,&rdquo; Becky said.<br /><br />&ldquo;I am what I eat,&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />Robbie and Becky blinked, then burst out laughing. The rabbit grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it at the wolf, who deftly dodged.<br /><br />&ldquo;Martin, gross!&rdquo; Becky cried through her giggles.<br /><br />&ldquo;But it made ya laugh!&rdquo; he retorted.<br /><br />The fox leaned back as he caught his breath. &ldquo;Oh, Martin&hellip; I love you.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Love you too!&rdquo; the wolf said. He slipped around behind the couch and kissed Robbie&rsquo;s cheek. &ldquo;But for real, Becks, think about it. I don&rsquo;t mind sharing if you wanna try dating Robbie, see if that works out.&rdquo;<br /><br />Becky raised an eyebrow and looked at him. &ldquo;You sure?&rdquo;<br /><br />Martin sighed. &ldquo;No, I&rsquo;m not. But if it&rsquo;ll make my friends happy, I&rsquo;ll try it.&rdquo;<br /><br />The rabbit looked at Robbie. &ldquo;So what do YOU want?&rdquo;<br /><br />The spotlight was on the fox now. &ldquo;I&hellip; I want both of you,&rdquo; he muttered.<br /><br />&ldquo;Dang, now I wish your sister WAS here,&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />Robbie turned on Martin. &ldquo;Who are you and what have you done with my real boyfriend?&rdquo;<br /><br />The wolf laughed. &ldquo;Chill, I don&rsquo;t mean doing anything with her. But if she and Jamie were here I could beat them in Smash while you and Becky do&hellip; whatever it is boys and girls do. Or like, talk to Keith again. He&rsquo;s pretty rad.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Please don&rsquo;t try to have sex with Mr. Caulfield,&rdquo; Robbie said.<br /><br />&ldquo;But we&rsquo;re trying polyamory, right?&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />The fox rolled his eyes. &ldquo;That doesn&rsquo;t give you free reign to do just ANY fur.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh fine,&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;Hm&hellip; do you two want some alone time? I could go bug your dad for a bit.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t try to have sex with my dad, either!&rdquo; Robbie said.<br /><br />Martin laughed. &ldquo;Well you&rsquo;re no fun.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;No, stay,&rdquo; Becky said. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t wanna feel like I&rsquo;m going behind your back to be with Robbie. That feels&hellip; weird.&rdquo;<br /><br />The wolf shrugged. &ldquo;Suit yourself.&rdquo; He flopped down on the couch at Robbie&rsquo;s other side. &ldquo;So, we gonna game or just like&hellip; talk?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Maybe talk?&rdquo; Becky said.<br /><br />Robbie bit his tongue. Talking was NOT his forte, but he&rsquo;d try it to make his friend happy. &ldquo;Umm&hellip; sure&hellip; what about?&rdquo;<br /><br />The rabbit took a breath. &ldquo;Well&hellip; for one thing&hellip; I&rsquo;m dating Sophie&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Whoa, she&rsquo;s gay, too?&rdquo; Martin asked.<br /><br />Becky bit her lip and nodded. &ldquo;Yeah, but that&rsquo;s a secret, just like you being gay.&rdquo;<br /><br />Martin raised an eyebrow. &ldquo;Well, I guess if you&rsquo;ve kept that secret you can keep mine. But, like&hellip; geez, you&rsquo;ve got a girlfriend and still want Robbie?&rdquo;<br /><br />Something wasn&rsquo;t adding up to Robbie. &ldquo;So you don&rsquo;t wanna go behind Martin&rsquo;s back to be with me&hellip; but you&rsquo;ll go behind your girlfriend&rsquo;s back to do it?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s the big problem!&rdquo; Becky said. &ldquo;I really wanna be with both of you, but I can&rsquo;t just&hellip; do that. Much as I really wanna try being with a boy like Jesus intended&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, I see how it is,&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s just a cover-up.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;No, it&rsquo;s not like that, either!&rdquo; Becky said. &ldquo;I just&hellip; I don&rsquo;t know if I want to be with a boy or a girl!&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie chuckled. &ldquo;Por que no los dos? But I think we know the answer.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Shoulda stuck with Spanish insteada French,&rdquo; Martin muttered.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, yeah,&rdquo; Robbie said, rolling his eyes. &ldquo;But seriously Becky&hellip; maybe you should talk to Sophie about it, face to face, before we talk about dating. Okay?&rdquo;<br /><br />Becky sighed. &ldquo;I guess&hellip; but I still really wanna try&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;d be pissed if my boyfriend slept with a girl without asking me first,&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />&ldquo;What about kissing?&rdquo; Becky asked.<br /><br />The fox stared at her incredulously. &ldquo;Becky&hellip; calm down. Yeah, we might like each other, but you&rsquo;re with Sophie. If she&rsquo;s okay with it, THEN we can try.&rdquo;<br /><br />The rabbit opened her mouth to respond, then closed it. For once, she was speechless. After a very long pause, she muttered one single word: &ldquo;How?&rdquo;<br /><br />That was a good question. Robbie shrugged. &ldquo;Maybe my mom or dad could help. Do you wanna try talking to them?&rdquo;<br /><br />Becky shrugged. &ldquo;I guess it&rsquo;s worth a try&hellip; I&rsquo;ll ask your mom. When does she get home again?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Usually like seven, seven thirty,&rdquo; Robbie said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Okay,&rdquo; Becky said.<br /><br />Martin grabbed up the controllers. &ldquo;Well, why don&rsquo;t we game until dinner, then?&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie was relieved by the shift of subject. Becky smiled weakly and took a controller, and before they knew it, they were deep into games.<br />&nbsp;<br />Dinner time rolled around, breaking off their gaming session. Becky was unusually quiet during dinner. As he sometimes did, Dan made a vegetarian option for the family with Becky present. Robbie didn&rsquo;t mind. His veggie lasagna was almost as good as the version he made with meat.<br /><br />As dinner wound down, Becky cleared her throat. &ldquo;Umm, Dr. Langley? C-could I talk to you alone for a bit?&rdquo;<br /><br />Terry smiled at the rabbit girl. &ldquo;Of course. We can step into my office and chat.&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie watched them go. What would they say? <br /><br />He didn&rsquo;t have long to contemplate. Martin grabbed his paw and dragged him upstairs to the fox&rsquo;s bedroom.<br /><br />&ldquo;Why&rsquo;re we heading here?&rdquo; Robbie asked once they got in.<br /><br />&ldquo;S&rsquo;more comfy,&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;They might be a while, and I need my boyfriend.&rdquo;<br /><br />The fox smirked. Of course Martin was horny. He allowed himself to be stripped, then eagerly undressed his boyfriend. The wolf took his paw and hopped into the fox&rsquo;s bed. &ldquo;Ready for me?&rdquo; Martin asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Actually&hellip; gimme a sec,&rdquo; Robbie said. He dashed out of the bedroom and into his parents&rsquo; bedroom to borrow that bottle of clear liquid. When he returned, he went right to the bed and showed it to Martin. &ldquo;I wanna try something new.&rdquo;<br /><br />Martin smirked when he saw the bottle. &ldquo;Foxglide. What&rsquo;s that?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s the brand of lube my parents use,&rdquo; Robbie said. He opened up the bottle and looked at his bed. Eh, his sheets needed to be washed soon, anyway. &ldquo;Anyway, I&rsquo;ve been, uh&hellip; experimenting&hellip; and I wondered if you might wanna&hellip; do me in the butt.&rdquo;<br /><br />The wolf&rsquo;s eyes widened along with his grin. &ldquo;Hell yeah!&rdquo; He took the bottle and slipped around on top of the fox as he laid back. &ldquo;Uh&hellip; what do I do with this?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Pour some on your cock, then you can slip it in,&rdquo; Robbie said. He spread his legs, displaying his bottom to his boyfriend.<br /><br />His boyfriend followed his instructions, rubbing it onto his penis. &ldquo;Dang&hellip; this feels pretty good&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie blushed. Would he say the same when he got into Robbie&rsquo;s butt? Only one way to find out.<br /><br />Martin grinned and braced himself over the fox, one paw holding himself up as his other paw guided his erection to his boyfriend&rsquo;s tailhole. Both boys shivered with anticipation. The boys had both watched porn, even if not together, and Robbie had toyed and knew he liked it. Maybe this would be better than a toy.<br /><br />Both boys shivered as Martin&rsquo;s tip pressed again Robbie&rsquo;s tailhole.<br /><br />&ldquo;Go slow to start, okay?&rdquo; Robbie said.<br /><br />The wolf nodded and slowly pushed in. They moaned. Yes, a real dick DID feel better than a toy. His toes curled as his boyfriend hilted in him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh gods,&rdquo; Martin muttered.<br /><br />&ldquo;Do I feel good inside?&rdquo; Robbie asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;This is the BEST,&rdquo; Martin said. He leaned down and kissed Robbie on the lips, though he slipped out when he did.<br /><br />Martin quickly got himself back up and slipped back in, then lifted the fox&rsquo;s legs. &ldquo;This might work better,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Lemme know if you need me to change up speeds.&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie nodded. This was it. His first time getting really fucked by his boyfriend.<br /><br />The wolf started moving his hips, slow and gentle. It felt so much better than just a toy. Robbie grabbed pawfuls of the bedsheets and moaned, trembling as his boyfriend fucked him. No wonder guys seemed to like this so much in porn!<br /><br />&ldquo;Ngh&hellip; feels so good&hellip; I dunno how long I can last,&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />The fox beamed. He was making his boyfriend feel good, too. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t mind&hellip; try going faster&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />His boyfriend nodded and started pumping faster. That felt even better. The fox grabbed onto his dick and started stroking it, until Martin batted it away.<br /><br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s my job,&rdquo; Martin said. He held onto the fox&rsquo;s legs with one arm while his other paw stroked the fox. He seemed to be having a little trouble keeping up his pace while stroking him, but the fox didn&rsquo;t mind. It felt too good being fucked like this.<br /><br />Before he knew it, the familiar tingles of orgasm started welling up. The fox arched his back as all of a sudden he his climax, his cock twitching in dry orgasm. His tailhole clenched around Martin, and he heard his boyfriend moaning.<br /><br />Robbie bit his lip as the stimulation from his boyfriend&rsquo;s paw got too intense. &ldquo;M-Martin, stop,&rdquo; he muttered.<br /><br />The wolf stopped immediately and looked down at his friend. &ldquo;You okay, dude?&rdquo;<br /><br />The fox nodded. &ldquo;Y-yeah&hellip; just&hellip; t-too much stimulation&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ah, I got you off,&rdquo; Martin said. He grinned and poked the fox&rsquo;s nose. &ldquo;So, uh, do you want me to stop, uh&hellip; doing you?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, did you cum?&rdquo; Robbie asked. Martin shook his head. &ldquo;Then keep going.&rdquo;<br /><br />He got a grin in reply. The wolf eased himself back up and grabbed hold of Robbie&rsquo;s legs again, then resumed thrusting.<br /><br />&ldquo;Gods you feel so good,&rdquo; Martin muttered.<br /><br />Robbie beamed. Knowing that he was making his boyfriend feel good only intensified his own satisfaction. &ldquo;I wanna feel you squirt in me.&rdquo;<br /><br />The wolf grinned. &ldquo;Just you wait,&rdquo; he said. He picked up his pace, panting as he pumped into the chubby fox&rsquo;s tailhole.<br /><br />His thrusts stopped suddenly, the wolf pressing in deep. Was he cumming inside him? Oh gods, that was a hot thought.<br /><br />Martin gave a few more thrusts, then leaned down and kissed him. &ldquo;Didja feel it?&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie nodded. He hadn&rsquo;t, but he didn&rsquo;t want his boyfriend to know. &ldquo;Uh huh&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Good.&rdquo; He hugged the Robbie and kissed him again. &ldquo;I love you, Robbie,&rdquo; Martin whispered.<br /><br />The fox grinned and kissed him back. &ldquo;Love you too, Mart Mart&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well that was hot,&rdquo; Becky said.<br /><br />Both boys&rsquo; heads whipped around to look at the rabbit standing at the door. She had stripped herself and had a paw between her legs.<br /><br />&ldquo;How long have YOU been there?&rdquo; Martin asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Just a minute or two,&rdquo; Becky said. &ldquo;Hope you don&rsquo;t mind. I finished talking to Robbie&rsquo;s mom and you weren&rsquo;t in the basement.&rdquo;<br /><br />The wolf rolled his eyes. &ldquo;Eh, I guess it&rsquo;s okay. Just don&rsquo;t try to touch me.&rdquo; <br /><br />They gasped as his penis slipped out of Robbie&rsquo;s tailhole, leaving the boy feeling empty. Gods, that was good. Robbie gave the wolf an awkward grin. &ldquo;We should wash up, then we can get back to gaming.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Deal,&rdquo; Martin said. He gave his boyfriend one more quick peck on the lips before they got out of bed and made for the bathroom.<br /><br />As they washed up, Martin cleared his throat. &ldquo;So how do we want this polyamory stuff to work out, anyway?&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie blinked. He hadn&rsquo;t really thought all that much about it. &ldquo;Uh&hellip; I dunno. I&rsquo;m not really sure how this polyamory thing works, myself.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Wanna go ask your dad?&rdquo; Martin asked.<br /><br />That sounded like a good idea. His parents were experienced in this, and Dad had never steered him wrong before. &ldquo;Sure. Just lemme ask Becky.&rdquo;<br /><br />The wolf rolled his eyes but didn&rsquo;t argue. Once they were cleaned up, they went downstairs. The fox&rsquo;s father was in the living room reading a book.<br /><br />He was just about to head down to the den when Martin spoke up. &ldquo;Hey, Mr. L, can Robbie and I talk to you about something real quick?&rdquo;<br /><br />The fox froze. So much for talking to Becky first.<br /><br />His father put his book down and looked at the boys. &ldquo;Sure thing. What&rsquo;s up, boys?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I was wondering if you could give us some tips about polyamory,&rdquo; Martin said.<br /><br />Robbie tucked his tail between his legs as he walked over. Hopefully Becky wouldn&rsquo;t mind if they took just a little longer.<br /><br />Dan chuckled. &ldquo;I think I can do that. Communication is very important, for starters.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, Mr. Cau- uh, Keith, told us some about that a little while back,&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;But I was thinking stuff, like&hellip; how do you decide if a new partner&rsquo;s okay?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s really up to you boys to decide for yourselves,&rdquo; Dan said. &ldquo;But for example, the rule that Terry and I have is to clear new partners with each other first, play safe until we can trust them, and no keeping things secret. If something happens with a new partner, it happens. She likes the full details, Keith is more of &lsquo;just tell me it happened but I don&rsquo;t need to know details&rsquo; kinda guy.&rdquo;<br /><br />The boys nodded. That all made sense. &ldquo;I dunno if I&rsquo;d wanna know the details if my boyfriend slept with someone else,&rdquo; Robbie muttered.<br /><br />Martin threw his arm around Robbie&rsquo;s shoulders. &ldquo;And I don&rsquo;t want any details if you sleep with girls. But tell me all about boys!&rdquo;<br /><br />Dan laughed. &ldquo;That sounds about right for you two. Do you want to know ahead of time, or just let things happen naturally and talk about it afterwards?&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie rubbed his chin. &ldquo;Umm&hellip; I guess naturally. I don&rsquo;t wanna cock block my Martin if he gets a chance to play with another boy.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sweet!&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;I guess same for you. Gotta make sure my boyfriend&rsquo;s happy, right?&rdquo; He kissed the fox&rsquo;s cheek and gave him a little side hug.<br /><br />&ldquo;Just make sure to keep checking in as things happen, and be honest with yourselves and each other,&rdquo; Dan said. &ldquo;You might be fine with it now, but your feelings might be different when it happens.&rdquo;<br /><br />Butterflies filled Robbie&rsquo;s stomach. How WOULD he feel if Martin slept with another boy? There was a twinge of jealousy, sure, but would it be worth it to keep his wolf happy? Maybe that was a good question for Dad.<br /><br />&ldquo;What if I get jealous?&rdquo; Robbie asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Jealousy&rsquo;s a natural emotion to feel,&rdquo; Dan said. &ldquo;If it happens, talk through it, with each other, and with me or your mother if you like. We&rsquo;ll be happy to help guide you boys.&rdquo;<br /><br />Robbie nodded. At least jealousy wasn&rsquo;t a sign that polyamory couldn&rsquo;t work. &ldquo;Okay. Thanks, Dad.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Any time, kit,&rdquo; Dan said.<br /><br />Martin grabbed Robbie&rsquo;s paw. &ldquo;Cool. Now let&rsquo;s go kick Becky&rsquo;s ass at Smash!&rdquo;<br /><br />The fox smirked. &ldquo;If she doesn&rsquo;t kick yours first.&rdquo;<br /><br />What a night.</span>",
