Jason woke up to the sound of a low deep vibration. He reached around feeling where he was located, and as his senses returned the canine felt another body next to him. Jason's eyes blinked open and he saw Bill's face above his, a smile on the feline's lips. Jason realized that the vibrating sound was Bill purring. His eyes glanced around for some sort of clock yet not even the DVD player told the time. The Dalmatian wiggled around a little only to find that the cheetah's arms surrounded him. Jason couldn't help but smile at the thought of being held while he slept and guessed that's why he dreamed so peacefully. However the happy thought was interrupted as Jason felt nervous on not knowing the time. After all he had classes at noon. Jason's brown eyes glanced to his bag where he knew his cell phone rested. However the cheetah's arms were stronger than the canine's position gave him the strength to move which limited his movement. Since he couldn't move Bill he simply cuddled into the cheetah's chest. The movement stirred Bill into the waking world as he yawned. Bill's crystal blue eyes met and the cheetah's lips curled into a larger smile. "Morning." Jason said quietly. "Morning." Bill replied just as quietly. Both wore a smile on their features though Jason broke the gaze and glanced back at his bag. Jason saw the cheetah's gaze follow his own out of the corner of his eye. "Something you need?" Bill asked softly. Jason nodded, his eyes still looking at his bag. "Just to check the time. Besides I'm awake so might as well get up." Jason said. Bill nodded and moved his arms out of the way for Jason. The spotted canine got off the couch and stretched as he got up. Jason's clothes bunched up on his body while he slept, so he shook himself to loosen the pressure from them. The dalmatian went to his bag and retrieved his phone. When he woke up the phone an alert of a text message flashed on the screen. "New Message from Sam. 7:59AM" The phone's screen read. Jason clicked the alert away to check the time. Large numbers showcased the time for him and read only eight thirty in the morning. He let out a sigh of relief and opened up the text. "Morning Jason, had fun with the cats?" The message read. Jason thought it over for a second before replying. "For the most part yea." Jason's reply said. He hit enter and the message flew away to the coyote's phone. Jason glanced back at Bill who watched him carefully though the cheetah's body still showed that he had not completely awoken. "I'm going to get some air." Jason said half to himself, and half to the barely awake feline. Bill nodded and curled back up on the couch. Jason stepped out and stared out at the morning sky, the light blue shades rather calming. His phone went off and another message popped onto his screen. "For the most part? Did Levi and Del do something strange?" The message read and Jason couldn't help but laugh. He quickly typed a reply back and watched it be sent off to cyberspace for Sam to retrieve. Once more the spotted dog looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh. The canine was quickly shaken from his thoughts as his phone went off. Just as quickly as it went off he answered the phone. "Morning Jason." Sam's cool collected voice sounded from the other line. The spotted dog smiled. He had not spoken to Sam much since the pool party. "Morning Sam, how are you?" Jason said politely. The coyote on the other end cackled as if he had been told a good joke. "Oh cut the polite shit. I wanna hear about last night, since I couldn't go."Sam said quick and mischievously. Jason felt startled at such a response and froze for a second as the words stunned him. "Calling being polite shit is kinda rude Sam." Jason barked back at the coyote. Yet instead of an argument, Jason heard laughter from the other end of the line. Though the canine could not see the coyote's expression, he pictured Sam was smirking. "Alright you got me there. I'm sorry and I'm fine." Sam said with a chuckle in his voice. "So..." He added before going on. "What happened while the cats were at play?" Sam asked. "Cats at play words it nicely. Since that's what Del and Levi were doing." Jason said his tone a mixed bag as he felt bile hinted in his words. Sam must not have noticed as he showed no sign of acknowledgement to the phrasing. "Wow Del and Levi did something in front of you and Bill? Did I miss out on a foursome? Man that's hot." Sam said with a chuckle in his voice. The spotted dog couldn't help but roll his eyes. "No we did not have a foursome. Del and Levi went into the bedroom and me and Bill watched a movie before going to sleep." Jason said. His jaws bit back showing any real frustration and the thought of being so easy to bed, but doubt crossed his features almost as quickly. He was quick to bed Sam when the situation called for it. "Oh fine, no need to get so defensive." Sam said. The spotted canine walked down the hall of the apartment building and sat on the staircase as thoughts began to bombard him. "Say Sam..." Jason muttered quietly, almost in horror. Sam's laughter died in an instant. "Something the matter?" Sam asked fully showing his concern. "Do you ever think you're too frisky?" Jason asked in a mumbled tone. "Frisky?" Sam questioned the statement. "You know, too much 'fun.'" Jason said shyly. Sam made noises on the other end though Jason couldn't tell what kind. "Fun? How is fun a bad thing?" Sam asked, annoyance spread in his voice. Jason guessed it was from him hinting and not getting to the point. Jason sighed and just answered. "Sex." The spotted canine said. "Do I think I'm having too much sex?" Sam questioned. Annoyance stained every word. Jason couldn't resist but gulp at the question. "That's what I'm asking." He said, though the coyote cut him off before he could speak again. "And what does my stance on sex have to do with anything?" Sam questioned, his tone filled with annoyance but not enough to get truly angry. Jason gulped and muttered. "I don't know." Jason muttered into the phone. The coyote on the other end didn't seem to accept that answer and spoke again. "Then why ask?" Sam asked and sighed. Jason meanwhile repeated the statement again. "Are you regretting what we did?" Sam questioned point blank at the spotted dog. Jason went quiet as he thought over the question and answered. "No. I don't feel regret over it." Jason answered sternly, though the word wavered and choked. Sam let out a sigh and spoke again. "So what's the issue then pup?" Sam asked. Jason glanced around as he rubbed in between his eyes. Tension showed in the canine's expression as he figured out how to word his thoughts. "How do I word it?" Jason muttered more to himself than to coyote. "I think using words would be a good start." Sam said jokingly to lighten Jason's mood. The Dalmatian chuckled a bit. "I really like Bill but I barely know him." Jason said quietly. "Barely know him?" Sam repeated to have the Dalmatian explain. "I met him a week ago but he makes me feel so good." Jason said. "Is that even allowed?" The spotted dog added in a questioning way. "Last I checked there was no time limit needed on attraction. You both look good, enjoy each other's company, and if his brother is anything to go by, more than capable in the sack." Sam said, though he added the end with a bit of humor in his voice. "Thank you for reminding me of that." Jason said in annoyance. "I don't get the issue here pup." Sam said simply. "Excuse me?" Jason questioned. "You are basically saying you either don't like being attracted to someone, and having someone attracted to you. The other option is it's going to fast, in which you can simply slow it down. But besides what you did when you left the party, what else has been fast?" Sam explained waiting for an answer from the Dalmatian, who simply did not have one. "Maybe? But it...if...What the hell do I have a problem with?" Jason questioned a bit louder than he meant to. He covered his mouth quickly, and hoped no one had awoken from his loud call. "If I had to guess, you're just scared of liking somebody." Sam said, the humor still in his voice but support also painted his words. "You may have a point." Jason sighed as he admitted so. "The only advice I can give is just accept you like him and act on it or don't. " Sam said his tone almost like a shrug. "You have yet another point." Jason said. "Feeling better then?" Sam asked his voice kind. "A bit yea. Well I'll talk to you later." Jason said and Sam said his goodbyes before the other line went dead. With a sigh Jason shook his head and a smile returned to his features. The canine got back up the steps with the tall cheetah there waiting for him. Bill smiled to Jason, and the spotted dog couldn't help but smile back. "So how was that air?" Bill asked with a smile as Jason approached. "Oh you know, refreshing and air like." Jason said with a smirk on his face. The cheetah's hands graced the dalmatian' as Jason reached the door and his heart beat just a few beats faster from the contact. The spotted dog opened the door, seeing the lights on and a few pans on the stove, although no burner was turned on. "Going to cook something?" Jason asked with slightly interest. Bill moved from behind Jason to the kitchen and nodded as he did so. "Yea but I was waiting for you to get back so you could tell me how you like your eggs." Bill said and went to the fridge and pulled out an egg carton. The carton only had a few of the two dozen eggs missing. Jason thought for a moment. "I like scrambled eggs with melted cheese and bacon bits in them. But shouldn't you ask Del and Levi what you can make?" Jason commented, and Bill nodded as he spoke. "Normally yes, but those two are out like a light, though I did get Del to answer on what he wanted. I figured I'd just pay em back later." Bill said and turned on the heat to one of the frying pans as he grabbed the butter and put half a spoonful into the pan. Jason's stomach growled at the thought of food and the cheetah smirked. "Don't worry growlie, breakfast shall be soon." Bill said with a smirk and a chuckle in his voice. Jason rose a brow at the joke. "Growlie?" The spotted canine question. "Well what else do you call something that only speaks in growls?" Bill said and laughed at his joke. Jason shrugged and looked at the time again. Bill looked at Jason and guessed the issue. "Go wash up. I'll have breakfast done by the time you get out. After all you got class in a few hours." Bill said with a smile. Jason nodded and teasingly called back. "Yes mom." Jason said. The cheetah huffed in false annoyance and called back to the retreating canine. "Oh please I'm hotter than your mom could ever be." Bill said teasingly in return. Jason nodded and grabbed his bag before he went into the bathroom and locked the door behind him. Although he had not expected to stay the night, just in case he did the Dalmatian had brought an extra outfit with him to change into. The black slacks and matching black shirt weren't much for the eyes but something none the less. A short time later Jason got out of the bathroom, all dressed up in his spare clothes and feeling refreshed. The water must have washed away his doubt, or dirty fur just puts him in a bad mood. When he got out Del was sitting at the kitchen table in shorts, devouring a plate from scrambled eggs. Snoring from the bedroom told Jason that Levi was still sleeping up a storm. Jason sat down and Bill presented a plate before him, with the eggs made just as he had requested. "Thanks Bill." Jason said before taking a bite of the breakfast. Just one bite made the canine's head feel like it had flown to heaven and back. The cooking of the eggs was great and made Jason blush with just how good they were. Bill sat at the other end of the table and smirked at Jason's reaction to the food. "Enjoying the food pup?" Bill asked as he leaned forward. Jason nodded and Bill's smile grew. Time went by and the white cat finally woke up and joined the trio for breakfast. They chatted peacefully of their plans for the day and as the time passed everyone got ready for the day ahead of them. Jason grabbed his bag and prepared to leave, yet as he did so, a spotted yellow hand lightly touched his arm. Jason looked up to see Bill's face with a mix of emotion that he couldn't decode but an almost bitter nature to the smile on his face. "Say..." The cheetah said quietly. "What are your plans tonight?" Bill asked softly. "Nothing that I know of, why do you ask?" Jason questioned. "Well how about spending it with me?" Bill asked, the bitterness to his smile gone. "Mister Stryker, are you asking me out on a date?" Jason spoke in a teasingly coy tone. Bill's smirk grew quite large as he answered. "Only if I pick you up at seven." Bill responded and Jason stroked his chin as he thought. "Well what time are you picking me up?" Jason asked, his head slightly tilted to the side and his tail wagging. "How about seven?"
