Ran and Davinci
        
       It was just about time to settle in at Barr’hondus, and as usual Ran was busy working. Unlike most nights though, this time the work was both much less productive and much less noisy. Instead of the usual clanging metal and odd fit of explosions, there was just a lot of panicked yapping and shadowboxing. “You got this, dude! You’re gonna heckin’ get it!” Ran was pumping his fists and punching at nothing, pumping himself up for a fight in his room.
        
       That was more than a little confusing for his guest. The little ghost had followed Ran in when the curliquill had beckoned him, but he hadn’t really understood why. He just knew that it had something to do with Davinci, and by the time he’d gotten in, it looked like Ran had almost entirely forgotten about him. “Uh… R-Ran? What was it you needed?”
        
       Ran nodded and took a deep breath before letting his fists drop. Apparently he had noticed ghost enter, he just wasn’t going to interrupt his ritual. “Right! I got this! Toast, I needed your help!” He stomped proudly and turned to Ghost with a fire in his eyes, one that was intense enough to make the little spirit shy away actually.  “Vinnie’s comin’ over tonight for a date, and I know tonight’s the night, y’know!” He took a step closer, and Ghost floated back again. “I need every edge I’ve got! I need that killer power of yours!”
        
       “N-night for what? I don’t think I get it?” Ghost felt distinctly uncomfortable suddenly. He’d gotten used to Ran’s energy by now, but something about it tonight was off. He was riled up and little scared, but that wasn’t that unusual. There was something else there that he couldn’t place, maybe something he couldn’t remember.
        
       Ran clarified with a smile and a pose, showing off his biceps eagerly and staring wide-eyed ahead, the fire in his eyes positively bursting out. “Ah c’mon, Toast! You can’t have forgotten that much! Tonight’s the night I take that cute bunn straight to pound town!” He flexed even harder, widening his stance and stretching his arms out to the sky.
        
       The confidence was suddenly overwhelming, shutting out all of the other feelings in the room. But, what Ran said still made Ghost feel deeply uncomfortable, more than ever in fact. If there was any color to his face, it would have drained out. “R-Ran! You’re not gonna hurt Davinci?!” He started to panic, completely unsure what to do if his friends were to actually come to blows. He didn’t even understand why.
        
       Soon, Ran was panicking too. The flames rushed away along with his confidence, and he was suddenly looking shiftily around as though someone was coming to get him. When his eyes settled on Ghost, they were wide and blinking like crazy. “Wh- N-no! I mean, I got plenty of lube and junk.” His eyes dropped and he pounded his fists together, but not with his usual drive, more out of anxiety. “I mean, I was hoping I’d really get to nail him to the headboard, but he’s a tough guy, right? He can take it!”
        
       Ghost shook his head, suddenly more confused. Suddenly Ran was talking even more violently, but he didn’t want to hurt Davinci, and he had mentioned a date earlier. “What are you talking about, Ran?” He nervously floated closer, completely stumped but wanting to understand.
        
       Ran lifted his head up, meeting Ghost’s eyes again. “Oh man, you really don’t get it, do you, Toast. “ He blushed and slammed his eyes shut. “C’mon, dude, don’t make me heckin’ spell it out for you! S-E-X! Me and Vinnie are gonna bang tonight!” He was blushing like crazy when he finally said it, and then, the moment it was out, his ears and quills suddenly drooped. “I-I mean, if everything goes good, y’know.”
        
       Ghost abruptly perked up. It took him a second, but the word did ring out as familiar. “Sex!? Oh wow, I didn’t know you two were, you know.” He paused to think about it a bit, rubbing his spectral chin. The word was familiar, the joining of spirits and bodies, he knew about it instinctually in the back of his mind. But, the mechanics weren’t there. “Um… how do you?”
        
       “Man, this ain’t the time for an anatomy lesson, Toast!” Ran stomped again, pulling Ghost’s attention back to the more pressing matter at hand. “I told ya’ I needed your help, right?”
        
       Ghost started, suddenly very present. “O-oh! Yeah!” Now that he realized he wasn’t being asked to beat up his friend, he was much more curious about what Ran was asking for. Much, much more curious in fact. “Umm… wait… what was it you wanted me to help with exactly? I mean, I don’t even really remember what sex is, right?”
        
       Ran was smiling again. He threw another couple of riling up punches. “Yeah, well, you didn’t know what punches were when you first woke up, right? Doesn’t make you any less good at ‘em!” He nodded and laughed. “I need that crazy power of yours! Gonna make this night somethin’ real heckin’ special y’know!” He laughed again, softly this time. Then, the confidence vanished again. He took a step back and looked down at the floor. “This is kinda embarrassin’ to say, but it’s my first time, and I wanna impress him. I mean, I’m sure a cutie like Vinnie’s had lots of hunnies before, right?”
        
       Ghost paused, briefly thinking about comforting the nervous curliquill. “I’m sure that doesn’t matter to him, Ran. He likes you a lot, right?” He moved a little closer to his friend, reaching out as if to put a hand on his shoulder. He couldn’t of course, so instead he smiled. “I’ll help if I can though. What can I do?”
        
       His quills perking up again, Ran smiled right back. “Thanks, Toast!” He shot the spirit a thumbs-up and trotted over to his bed, leading him along. “So, here’s the plan, simple as sewing.” He threw a couple more punches as they walked. “You give me that boost of energy I need when I’m poundin’ heads, right? I figured that boost would work just as good for poundin’ bunn’s!” He nodded to himself, and Ghost nodded along.
        
       It did make sense. When Ghost was in synch with his friends during a fight, they had a lot more energy. Their punches were more powerful and they could take more of a hit. Two minds, one will was how Davinci had described it. And with Ran that will was uber focused. He wasn’t totally sure how it would help with sex specifically, but it was a physical act, so it should work.
        
       Ran lifted up the covers of the bed and waved at Ghost. “So, all I need’s for you to hang out nice and quiet under here. Then, when I call for ya, you do your thing and pump me up?” Ran was practically giddy as he described it. That strange familiar feeling was permeating the air of the room again, this time it threatened to overwhelm Ghost. “I mean, I don’t know how long it’ll be but, y’know, once I’m really in there good and all… I think I’ll probably need the help to hold on…” He laughed softly again, nervously.
        
       Ghost had a few more questions about this plan. There was the question about why he needed to hide for one. Then he also was wondering exactly how he’d know when Ran needed him. He voiced the most pressing thought, though he wasn’t entirely sure why it felt pressing. “Shouldn’t I be watching?”
        
       The question made Ran blush even brighter, but he didn’t have an answer for it. All he did was stutter, “Wh-woah.” If he had an answer though, he wouldn’t have been able to voice it anyway. A knock on the door to his room took both his and Ghost’s attention away from any further planning. “Oh, heck! He’s here early! Uh, j-just hide okay, dude?” He dashed off with just one more gesture suggesting Ghost duck. Then he headed straight for the door to not keep the knocking bumblebunn waiting.
        
       Ghost listened and tucked himself close to a wall, behind a table. He still wasn’t sure why he had to hide, but he did, even instinctually lowering the light of his faint, ghostly glow. He couldn’t totally explain why, but he wanted to see what happened if he wasn’t noticed. It felt natural, watching as Ran opened the door and welcomed Davinci in, especially when the golden-furred bunny shut the door and finished the greeting by reaching up for a light, airy kiss.
        
       “I don’t know why you’re so shy about us, Ran. Always seems so silly I’ve got to close the door first.” Davinci chuckled and smiled. “Of course, don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the private time. I just mean you don’t need to worry about it, you know.” He gave the curliquill a comforting hug, and Ran returned it. It was brief, but wonderful, it made Ghost feel strangely warm as he watched. 
       
       “Well, uh… I wanted to make sure I had you to myself tonight is all, Vinnie.” Ran was shaking a little. He squeezed Davinci tighter in the hug to hide it. He also scrunched up his eyes and took in a good sniff of Davinci’s fur. He whispered after that quiet enough that Ghost could barely hear him. “Ugh… smells like cogs and gears…” He wasn’t sure if Vinnie heard, but his ears twitched.
       
       If he did notice, it didn’t do more than make the bumblebunn’s smile a little wider, and the squeezing could have done that. When Ran let him go, he was almost casual about the request. “I think I get it, Ran. You’re working up something real special tonight, right?” He walked with a spring in his step toward Ran’s workbench right across from the door, turning his back on the curliquill absentmindedly. “What sort of top secret stuff are you working on now? I’ll admit I’m rather excited you’d come to me for it.”
       
       Ran looked disappointed for a second when Davinci walked away. Then his eyes went wide and he was watching really close while Davinci walked away. Ghost felt warmer watching that, struck by a bit more of that unusual feeling coming from Ran. He was worried for just a second. Ran nodded to himself and threw a couple of punches behind Davinci, looking almost like he was about to attack. Ghost felt a shiver, but then Ran took a step forward and made a way different move than he expected. 
       
       There were a couple of big stomps as he followed Davinci, and before Davinci could even turn his head around, Ran’s hand swung down and slapped against the bunny’s rear. Davinci had been in the midst of a short ramble about the design on the bench, but that caught hard in his throat as he started at the sudden grip. “Sparks! R-Ran!?”
       
       Ran pulled in real close right after, holding Davinci still and tight. “Have I ever told you you have an amazing ass, dude?” He spoke firmly and confidently. Davinci’s ears twitched though, picking up on the quavering just under the big tough guy act. “Only thing I wanna work on is right here.”
       
       There was a squeak from Davinci and another really aggressive squeeze from Ran. For a second Ghost started with almost as much shock as the bunn. He even thought about putting a stop to things when Ran forced Davinci in closer.  Then Davinci turned up at Ran and smiled. “Sparks, Ran, is that really why you wanted me in here today?” He pressed his body against the curliquill, and he set his paw gently on Ran’s paw, sliding it up past his tail and onto his hip. “All you had to do was ask, you know?” 
       
       With his hand off his friend’s ass, Ran froze for just a second. He sputtered trying to find the next step. After a few stutters and Davinci softly sliding his paw under the curliquill’s jacket, he found the words. “Uh… well, I’m askin’ now then, right?” Davinci nodded, so he continued. For some reason he felt the need to shout it. “You wanna really hit the sack then?!”
       
       Davinci nodded again. “It’d be my pleasure to go to bed with you, Ran Tran Trum!” He almost shouted back, trying to match Ran’s energy. He ended up just a little less excited. 
       
       The reason for that became clear shortly. “Heck yea! Let’s get naked!” Ran raised a fist triumphantly for a second before setting it back down with a force on Davinci’s shoulder. There, he roughly tugged at the bumblebunn’s jacket without a thought. He almost popped the button off it before Davinci took a step back. 
       
       “I can take care of that myself, my friend.” He smiled and nodded, but this time, the quaver was in his voice. Ghost noticed it, Ran didn’t. Or, if he did, he didn’t keep his attention on it for long. Davinci was true to his word, undoing his jacket and quickly casting off his backpack. He wasn’t at all obviously shy. He even reached down and rubbed at his groin. Looking down at that, and then at Ran’s, Ghost suddenly found the word he was missing before. Both of them were very obviously aroused. Their rapidly growing erections made that as clear as day now. 
       
       The confusing part though, was that now it was Davinci’s turn to be shy. He cast off his jacket eagerly, but he made a point of backing away to the bed. Ghost saw why, noticing the small, feathery tufts on his back that he didn’t like to talk about. Ghost tried not to pay attention to them, waning to respect his friend’s shyness, but he did notice them flutter a bit. “Well, how’s it look?”
       
       Ran had no such tact, he paid attention to everything. “How is it? You’re heckin’ amazing, Vinnie!” He stomped toward the bunn again and pressed a hand against his bare chest, breathing good and heavy. “Dang it’s like, I’m all over this!” His paws wandered, reaching at Dacinci’s back to pull him into another hug. 
       
       Davinci put a stop to that with a quick hop backwards. “Well then, hurry up and get on it, Ran.” He smiled wider than ever, hiding any nervousness well as he scooted up on to the large bed directly in front of Ghost. “But I’m not gonna be the only one naked up here, right?”
       
       Ran’s clothes came off in an instant at the request. His jacket hit the ground with enough force to shake the room, clanging against the floor, and his shirt almost seemed to explode of with how fast he tore it off. The pants only stayed on a second longer since he awkwardly tried to kick them off along with his boots while he dove toward the bed. It looked like he was tripping over himself to Ghost, but Davinci didn’t really seem to notice how silly it was. His eyes and his wings were fluttering the whole time he watched. 
       
       In fact, Davinci was so enamored with the sight that he didn’t even think to react to the curliquill diving straight at him. The bumblebunn got hit with a full on tackle that made Ghost jump with shock again. Ran’s weight shook the bed and sent another loud clang through the metal walls of his room. It also sent the air flying right out of Davinci, getting a sizeable gasp of air blasting from him. He wasn’t able to get it back straightaway either. Ran pressed him down hard and starting pressing his nose all over him, sending more, lighter gasps all about. 
       
       For a second Ghost was worried again. He peered out from his hiding place, thinking about making himself known early. He wasn’t sure if he wanted to put a stop to this though. His friend’s bodies pressed so passionately together seemed so natural, and it made him feel warm in a way he couldn’t really place, almost like he was there with them. He felt like an intruder, but it didn’t feel wrong somehow. Embarrassing as it was, he might have just been enjoying the sight. 
       
       Davinci was absolutely enraptured by the soft kisses and the weight Ran had pressed against him. It was obvious from the way his gasps sounded to the huge smile on his face, not to mention his fluttering eyes and darting ears. “R-Ran! I’m not going anywhere.” He gasped again and grabbed at the curliquill’s side, holding tight to him. 
       
       Ran slowed down just enough to allow him to breath, but didn’t stop pressing. Ghost noticed his crotch was pressed particularly hard against Davinci. His arousal was palpable enough to burn. He could see the huge weight of it pressed against the bunn, dripping onto their fur. The spirit wanted to feel it too. 
       
       Ghost was probably then the most thankful for the small pause that followed a bit more rubbing. “Sorry, Vinnie, I don’t wanna wait!” Ran pulled back groaning the whole way. Davinci half-followed him, lifting himself up just enough to get his back off the bed and reaching up for Ran. “Hold up! I’ve got just the thing to get you nice and ready to go to pound town!” He nodded confidently and smashed his fists together, making sure to flex extra hard for the bunn underneath him. 
       
       Davinci sighed and fell back, settling against the headboard. He watched Ran closely, wings fluttering like crazy the whole time the curliquill spent scrambling for something he’d left by his bedside. His smile shrank a bit, clearly not savoring the pause. He even reached down to tend to his arousal himself while he waited. Ghost noticed he lifted a leg particularly high while he did too, showing off his tail. “Don’t take too long, hun. You’ve got me steaming over here.”
       
       “Just gotta be safe, right?” Ran chuckled a bit and hefted a jug up onto the bed beside him. “You know we’ll need a little help if you’re gonna handle all this, right?” Ran showed his body off proudly, pouring the lubricant from the jug messily onto his paw and groin as he worked it. Ghost and Davinci both couldn’t take their eyes off him then. Ran massaged his erection with extreme caution as he lubed it up, wincing the whole while. “Just… uh… give me a second.” His eyes were aimed straight at Davinci’s hole when they were open, Ghost could tell he was close to losing control. He steadied himself for it.
       
       “I don’t think either of us can wait too long, Ran.” Davinci was right with him. His leg was lifting higher by the second, and he winced too while he tended to his own erection. Ghost could feel the heat coming off of them, pulling them together by inches as Ran leaned forward and Davinci slid closer. It wasn’t long before Ran dropped on top of Davinci again then the heat from both of them joined. 
       
       Ghost felt the rush when it happened. He wasn’t sure how to describe it. It was cozy like a campfire, but also like a blast of hot seawater. Davinci shut his eyes and let loose a wild gasp, and Ran let out a slow building shout, all his quills pointing straight up. “H-heckin t-tight! Gah!” Ran cursed as he pressed in deeper. He thrust hard and passionately, shaking the whole time. His hips pulled back slow as possible hoping to keep control though. He wouldn’t be able to keep that up for long. 
       
       “Sparks, you’re big!” Davinci had a bit more control, but not much. He kept his eyes shut and a hand on his own erection, rubbing it fast as he could with only a moment’s pause whenever Ran thrust. The other paw was on Ran’s neck holding to steady him again the thrusts. His gasps were almost worryingly pained at first, but he made it clear Ran had to keep going. “Sparks! Don’t stop, Ran!”
       
       Ran had no intention of stopping, so he followed through as best as he could. Every thrust got him deeper into the bumblebunn and sent him spiraling. Ghost empathized. Even watching the spectacle was making him hot and dizzy. Being in it was clearly driving Ran crazy. By the time he’d started really pounding Davinci, he was sweating so much his quills were starting to droop again, and his breathing was sounding battered. 
       
       Davinci was almost just as struck. He could hardly keep his paws steady. The one playing with himself wasn’t doing much more than squeezing, and his other paw was holding tight to Ran’s fur. He had lifted himself a bit too, closer to Ran, and Ran had helped, grabbing his back and holding him tight. It was starting to get hard to tell where one of their movements ended and another began as they synced up. 
       
       Ghost felt an intense desire to join them. Even from his hiding place he could feel how overwhelming the sensation was. It was much more than heat he was picking up now, it was everything from the pleasure to the pressure. He could tell it was amazing, maybe even moreso than when he merged wills, and way more enjoyable than a fight. 
       
       He got his chance to feel it for himself soon. Davinci was getting close to the climax. He shouted Ran’s name and held on tighter, pressing his head to the curliquill’s chest. “Ran, Only One’s name you’re amazing…” He was panting, overjoyed. 
       
       And Ran was desperate. With one big thrust, he called out too. “T-Toast!” He groaned far louder than he’d probably meant. 
       
       Davinci opened an eye curiously, and his ears twitched. Things slowed down just long enough for him to ask, “T-toast?” Though, he didn’t get much time to ask more. 
       
       Ghost leapt at his chance with reckless abandon. He was in Ran without pause, eager to feel everything. The curliquill’s body was engulfed in a flash of white light and his eyes shot open, glowing intensely as he was overwhelmed. Ghost felt everything, and for Ran, every feeling was more intense. 
       
       It wasn’t quite what the curliquill might have hoped for though. With the rush of intensity, there was no way he would last a second longer. Ghost felt the rush of warmth that was pounding through all of Ran’s body, most of all in his dick and in his heart. The warmth and the pressure were so overwhelming all Ghost wanted at that moment was release, and his will blended with Ran’s. They both screamed to climax, to let loose inside of Davinci. 
       
       That feeling stretched out from a second into an eternity. Ghost made it last. He didn’t just want to feel Ran after all, and even when his senses were just limited to the curliquill, he could feel Davinci too. The bumblebunn’s heartbeat mixed with the curliquill’s. Ran’s was steady and strong, and Davinci’s was rapid and panicked, but somehow they blended in perfect harmony, beat matching off beat. 
       
       Ghost reached out for it, and soon he was sensing Davinci’s mind as well. He felt the rush of being filled and stretched, and the sense of being so close to another man that he felt like he was about to be crushed. Ran’s grip on their back was painful and affectionate and almost as overwhelming as the force of his thrusts. 
       
       Then the emotions flooded in. He felt the embarrassment at his fluttering wings that he wouldn’t dare let Ran see, the desperation of Ran to not cum just yet, and the need to impress that both men felt for eachother. Most of all, both of them felt an overwhelming love, Ran for the first time, Davinci for the second, and both with a desperate need to make it stronger than anything before. 
       
       Without thinking, Ghost made it happen. He pulled them close as he could. Both of them went with him, pressing their bodies close, their souls seemed to touch as well through him, catching intensely with the light of their passion filling the room. Then, they burst. Names were shouted as Ran and Davinci came, but both shouted so simultaneously the names seemed to blend. It was beat and off beat just like their hearts. Ran emptied himself desperately into Davinci and Davinci pumped his own erection in hopes to cum alongside his love. Ghost made sure he did, and he started to let loose himself. Soon the very ground seemed to shake alongside them as Etere itself seemed to affirm their love. 
       
       Eventually, among the shouting, Ghost couldn’t hold on. With a wispy gasp, he flew back launching himself free of the both of them. He floated dizzily back, and the pair floated dizzily to a fall. Davinci collapsed on the bed, and Ran sat down, drained but not letting go. Though, his eyes floated back into his head as he mumbled Davinci’s name. “V-Vinnie…”
       
       Both were breathing heavy, though Davinci was more desperate. He was much more stunned and confused. When he opened his eyes they were spinning. “Sparks and Spirits, what on Etere was that, Ran?” Ran couldn’t answer. He didn’t really know either. 
       
       Whatever it was caused quite a racket. There was a sudden creaking of metal from the building as it resettled. Then there was a banging from the door. “Spikey!? You okay in there?” One of their companions was at the door already. Ghost recognized the foxtrae’s voice, and noticed the hint of concern. “Heard a big bang! Noone’s hurt in there, right?”
       
       Mr. Fox opened the door without a thought. Noone had much time to act when he did, but Ran somehow managed to take initiative anyway. His first instinct was to hug Davinci and make sure he was turned away from the door. When the fox entered and paused in shock, he also managed to get enough sense to usher him out. “Hey! Foxy, do you mind!?”
       
       “Nope.” Quietly, the fox shut the door and made himself scarce. Impulsively, Ghost followed him, rushing out of the open door and into the cold night. Overwhelmed as he had been just a moment ago, the rush of time away was a blessing. 
       
       Though, he wasn’t alone for very long. The moment he was out the door he paused and sighed out, and he did so just before Mr. Fox shut it. He caught his friend’s side-eye the second he had the sense back in him. “Oh, uh, hi, Mr. Fox.”
       
       “Evening, wisp.” Mr. Fox sighed and eyed the closed door still in his paw suspiciously. Then he turned that look back to Ghost. “I suppose I shouldn’t ask what you were doing in there with Spikey and his bunn friend?” 
       
       “Well, I-” Ghost started, but Mr. Fox quieted him with a raised paw. 
       
       “That wasn’t an invitation, wisp.” The old man chuckled and shook his head. “I know enough about young love to not ask is all I meant.” He let go of the door and laughed. It was a bit of a sad laugh, but that wasn’t unusual for the old fox. 
       
       Ghost wasn’t sure what to say then, but when he looked at his friend and the ramshackle house behind him, he could feel some sort of truth coming from the both of them. There was a shared feeling, it was a lot like that strange arousal he’d felt from Ran earlier, but it was softer now. “Love… is beautiful isn’t it?” He almost sang it out, not even sure where it came from. 
       
       Mr. Fox very nearly rolled his eyes, but then, as if on cue, the building behind him buckled onces again, and with that buckling came another cheerful, high-pitched shout. With that, happening behind him, the foxtrae just chuckled and nodded in agreement. “Sure is, wisp. Sure is.” With another sigh, he left the ghost alone and headed back to his burrow nearby. Ghost considered following him, just to not be alone for the night after everything. 
       
       But, he didn’t. He stayed right outside Ran’s room for the night instead. Even from there, he could sense it, the feelings of the pair still joined together in body and spirit. It felt natural to listen in on it, soaking in that love. 
       
       There would probably be a lot of questions for him in the morning, but since he couldn’t sleep anyway, he might as well float in it.
