Aquata Cove
Chapter 74: Casual Pursuit


In the darkening dusk, a small otter washes up on the beach. He eagerly
waddles up out of the ocean as he pants with joyful optimism, speeding up
to the driftwood-fenced house.

"AHH!" He yelps as Sally starts to bark just as Arnaav opens the door. The
golden dog bounds around the boy playfully as she yelps loudly, "Not now! I
have to hurry!" He quickly bats and pets the dog, before rushing across the
house, tracking in dirt and sand along the way.

"Hmnn..." Arnaav digs under the couch, his tail waving back and forth as he
grapples underneath the cushions. Skyler lurks as he crouches down, eying
Arnaav's thick tail like a predatory kitten.

"Aha!" Arnaav's webbed paw grabs the artifact he has sought for, wrapped in
a soft cloth, unveiled to reveal the jeweled butterfly hairclip. He giggles
with joy as he brings it to his wet, furry chest as hugs it lightly.

"She's sad right now. Yuri did say love is fleeting with humans, so she
doesn't like Merrick anymore..." Arnaav said as he rewraps the beautiful
trinket partially.

"All I have to do is find her again." He ponders to himself, a little
defiantly again, "And then I'll show her that I found her treasure!" He
takes one last look at the sparkling jewels, before concealing them.

"And then she'll be so happy, she'll forget all about Merrick!" He took a
moment to blush as a light spiral swelled in his chest, "And after that,
maybe she'll like me instead..."

"EEEP!" Arnaav squeaked as sharp pinpricks hit on his tail. He looks over
his shoulder to see the small white creature gnawing and wrestling with his
appendage. Arnaav casually bent around to pull the kitten off of his tail,
and placed him on the couch, "Not right now, I have to go." He told the
creature.

Arnaav quickly retrieved his ocean knapsack, and tucked the bundled trinket
safely within. The boy then waddled out of the house as fast as he can,
eventually going to all fours as he rushes straight for the shore. He runs
off to the rocks, and dives once more into the familiar sea.


One minute after Arnaav have left the house, a few cars pull into the
gravel of the driveway, emerging the residents and a couple of guests from
the luau.


"Eelgh, what the heck??" Yuri grimaced as she sees the trail of wet
sand-mud all on the carpet.

"What's up?" Merrick asked.

"I think Sally killed another rodent again." She scowled. The golden
retriever whined as she bowed her head.

"Uh," Jamal looked over the house, "I don't think Salls can open the damn
sliding door, Yuri." He pointed out. Merrick observed the couch, and felt
around the area.

"I think Arnaav was here. Be must've stopped by, and forgot to close the
door." 

"Ulgh, lets clean it up later," Yuri
complained as she pulled off the lei, "I need a soak."


~~~


Sasha hissed as she slowly gets into the bubbling cauldron of the hot tube,
slowly sinking into the biting hot water before setting down, "Blimey, this
feels nice..."

"Heads up," Jamal and climbs up, and starts to dip into the Jacuzzi too.

"Oh for God's sake, Jamal!" Yuri whined, "Do you HAVE to wear a
ball-clenching speedo like that??" She asked as Jamal's hot chocolate
thighs braced around a round, tight red bulge with a white cross on it.

"Ah, quit yo bitchin gurl." He said as he grunted in, "You just lucky I
ain't dippin in nekkid -- we got company here."

"Oh gee, how decent of you." Yuri rolled her eyes.

"Oh, by all means!" Sasha adjusted, "Take'em off, Jamie!"

"Aight," Jamal shrugged and leaned forward and submerged his hands in to
take his tight speedo.

"NO! No!" Yuri shouted, "Please, keep them on!"

"You don't seem to have a problem with ME being naked." Merrick said as he
sipped his ice water.

"Nor me." Syrinx said, both her and Merrick as naked as the day they were
born in the hot tub.

"That's different," Yuri said, "You guys are mature and natural with your
bodies. Not like the bunch of horndogs I'm surrounded by."

"Oh, lighten up, Yuri." Adam said, shamefully hiding the fact that both he
and Kevin are currently sporting erections, safely concealed in their
trunks and the distortion of the water.

"Lighten up?? Nick isn't even wearing a speedo!" She said, holding her hand
toward him, "He's just wearing a small jockstrap!" Nick quirked his
eyebrows as he toasted up his small martini glass, and drinks.

"Humans." Syrinx said, looking to Merrick, "Right?"

"No kidding." Merrick answered.

"Ok, so, when you guys get married," Kevin said, "Are you sharing a last
name, or are you keeping both of yours."

"Hm yeah," Sasha said, "Are you going to be Mr Adam Piscien, mate?"

"Oh no," Merrick said as he hugged Adam's left arm, "I'm taking HIS name."

"Ah, so Mr Merrick Bryant." Syrinx said, "... Ok, that still doesn't roll
of the tongue."

"You say ONE word," Yuri pointed at Jamal and Nick, "I'm going to kill
you." Both of them snickered at her threat. After an awkward pause, Adam
smirked.

"... I'll tells you what rolls on MY tongue." Kevin snickered, unable to
resist.  
"OH. MY." The rest of them laughed as Yuri splashed at
Adam, "GOD!"

"Jeez, Yuri, how much of a prude ARE you?" Kevin asked.

"She ain't." Jamal said, "She just likes to bitch a lot. Ow!" Jamal jerked
as his knee was kicked.

"Shut it or I'll aim higher." Yuri growled as she takes a drink of her
spiced tea.

"So what about YOU guys?" Syrinx asked Jamal and Nick, "You're a couple,
right?"

"Hard to tell." Adam said with a grin, "They screw around with sooo many
people."

"Heh," Kevin smirked, "Kinky neighborhood."

"Eh," Jamal shrugged, "Not really into the whole wedding thing." He told
them, "I love my lil Nicky."

"Awww, man~" Nick cooed as he put his head on one of Jamal's thick pecs,
while secretly rubbing one of Jamal's thighs under the water, while Jamal
put his strong arm around Nick's shoulders.  
"We don't need no
rings to know we love each other, ya know?" Jamal said.

"And I suppose monogamy is out of the question, out the window, and paying
rent by selling sex, uh?" Yuri muttered lowly as she drinks her tea.

"Well, that's not true." Nick said as he reached into the water. They
watched as he shifted in his seat, grimaced a little before sighing and
rising his hand up, holding a 3-inch metal hoop, "We got THESE rings, eh?"
He said with a grin.

"Oh. My. Freaking. God." Yuri said as her left eye twitches.

"That's nuthin," Jamal dismissed, "Wanna see mine-"

"You know!" Yuri cut off, everyone snickering at her next coming rant,
closing her eyes for patience, "I try, VERY hard, not to judge ANYONE base
on, or believing in stereotypes, aligned with race, sexuality, creed, what
have you," She opens her eyes as she looks at Jamal, "But you, my very
black friend," Jamal starts jerking his shoulders as he kept from laughing,
"Are making it EXTREMELY difficult for me to try and believe that not all
bisexuals are sex addicts, when you are constantly walking around town with
a raging case of Priapism!!"

Adam and Sasha smirks, but everyone else looks confused.

"Oh my God, you people don't even know what Priapism IS?!" Yuri shouted,
making everyone start laughing, "It means a constant erection, you
numbskulls!!" Everyone laughs as Yuri groaned while slipping down until the
hot water was up to her chin, "Uugghh, I am surrounded by idiots, cowturds,
and prostitutes."

"Nice to meet you, Jesus." Kevin chuckled.

"Hahah, so anyway, Mr Merrick Bryant." Syrinx picked back up, "And I
thought `Merrick Piscien' was a bit dodgy to say."

"Yeah, I didn't think to pick a last name before I became a citizen."
Merrick replied, "Your last name is `Amour', right? Is that Kevin's last
name too?"

"Yes, and no." Kevin answered, "Mine is `Fensly'." He said.

"You sure you're ok with changing your last name, babe?" Adam said with his
arm around Merrick, "I know you have your thing with identity."

"Yeah, I'm good with it." Merrick answered, "Piscien is my species, not my
name. I don't need a dub to remind me of who or what I am."

"What about you, Yuri?" Sasha asked, "Is there ever going to be a man for
you in your life?"

"Well, that's a little personal," Yuri said with a sip of her drink, "But
if we're ready to talk like mature adults..." She adjusted to sit up in her
seat, "In all honesty, I'm not sure."

"So, bottomline, gun to your head, you and Ryo never getting back
together?" Merrick asked, "You two seemed perfect for each other at the
time."

"Yes, I know, but... The more I dated him, the more it just felt like a
chore to have a relationship." Yuri explained, "I had to include him in
balancing my schedule, and even then, I didn't really feel too into it..."

"So you never liked him?"

"Oh no, I did, at some point." She nods, "But the more I got to know him,
after long after when we were kids, when we were each other's crushes, he
just didn't seem to resonate with me, or I didn't match up with him... I
think I was just... Sort of dated him out of formality, you know? Like
everyone was expecting it, and the more I was with him, the more it didn't
feel natural, like it isn't what I wanted. And the more I saw of him, the
more his personality just put me off."

"So..." Kevin said, "You never... You know..."

"What..." Yuri gives him a glare.

"Well, just wondering have you ever... You know... With all your work,
schooling, have you never really..." The look in Yuri's eyes does not bode
well for him, especially beating around the bush, "... Sex."

"And here we go again." Yuri rolls her eyes, "No, I do not have sex." She
said with a nasty tone, "I do not occupy my free time to getting banged
over the bed, couch, table, TV, public restroom, I am a lot more mature
than all of you whore mongers."

"Psshh." Jamal smirked.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Yuri turned to him.

"That not what I recall." Jamal said as he drinks his Dr Pepper.

"What are you talking about?"

Jamal gives a smirk at Yuri, "You know what I mean gurl."

"Wait... Yuri??" Merrick looked at her with widened eyes.

"Jamal, I swear to God," Yuri pointed at him, "I will freaking kill you
with your own intestines."

"Oh my GOD!" Syrinx covers her mouth.

"YOU and JAMAL??" Sasha gasped, "Are you serious-"

"NO, me and Jamal didn't..." She rolled her eyes, "FUCK. We did NOT sleep,
ok?!" Nick squeals with suppressed laughter.

"Jamal??" Adam looked over to him.

"Naw naw, we didn't, ok?" Jamal said, "Me and Yuri did NOT sleep, ok?"

"THANK you, you perverted man-whore." Yuri said as she brought her drink to
her lips, "Probably split me in half if we did." She muttered. Sasha nearly
spits up her own drink from the comment.

"Thennn..." Merrick pauses, "What was that about, just now?"

"I just introduced her to a guy, that's all." Jamal said.

"To put it in technical terms, he pimped for me." Yuri said.

"Yuri, you be ripping yo own hair out tryna ta balance all yo shit allat
once." Jamal said, "Now I know you all too high up fo sex an stuff, but
even YOU have to admit gettin laid is good fo you."

Yuri huffs an aggravated sigh, "Yes, it has been proven that intercourse is
healthy in several aspects, in physical, emotional, and psychological
ways. But I don't make it the life blood of my schedule like you sorry
bunch of predators." She added with a snide tone.

"So how often DO you have sex??" Merrick asked.

"Not that that's ANY of your business." Yuri says, "But I think I'm good
with maybe a once a year kind of deal."

"Once a year?!" Sasha gawked, "Are you bloody insane?! Once a year?!"

"Shit, and I thought more than a week was bad." Jamal remarks.

"Ok, can we get off the topic of my glacial sex life please??" Yuri says
with exasperation, "Or can we just not talk about sex at all??"

"Well, there goes the conversation." Nick giggled.

"Yeah," Sasha nodded, "I'm rather curious as to what the two of you look
like." She said to Merrick and Syrinx.

"What, us?" Syrinx asked.

"It's already a bit cramped in here." Merrick said, "I grow at least twice
as long when I'm in my true form."

"Same here."

"Me too." Jamal smirked.

"Shut up, Jamal!" Yuri snapped.

"Oh come on! I've only seen pictures of you, Merrick, I really want to know
what yo like all fishy and such."

"Well, ok, I guess." Merrick shrugged as he starts to reach back.

"Let me get that for you, sweetie," Adam says as he unhooked
the chain of Merrick's necklace. Once he removed the scale, Merrick's body
instantly changes while his shoulders and head remains humanoid, he grunts
as his legs grow quickly.

"Whoa," Merrick irked as he grabs the edges of the hot tub as his blue and
while tail rises from the other side, while his beautiful tailfin unfurls
once out of the water.

"No bloody way!!" Sasha looks with awe as she feels along Merrick's tail,
"This is just like in that Tom Hanks movie! And you're not boiling?!"

"Not really," Merrick says as his magnificent scales and fins glimmer in
the lights of the Jacuzzi, "Though I can't be in this kind of hot water for
too long. My body is more suited for colder waters."

Adam reattaches Merrick's necklace, and his body reverts back into his
human form.

"Now you." Sasha said with a grin.

"Ok." Syrinx held her wrist up for Kevin to unhook, and remove. Her skin
immediately changes into a fine, magenta-brown velvet pelt as her legs
thickened and melded into a thick tail with flippers at the end. She
elevated her tail to show her true form.

"This is bloody brilliant." Sasha says as she lifts up the tail, "You feel
like a heavy plush doll!"

"And when my head is wet, I grow a horn on my forehead, like a unicorn. But
I am NOT getting my hair wet right now." She said as she put her bracelet
back on, and turned back into a woman.

"Oh come now!" Sasha splashes at Syrinx, causing to flinch to protect her
hair. She slowly lowers her arms as she gives Sasha a squinting glare.

"Now you REALLY don't want to see my horn, because it my end up impaling
you." Syrinx said through gritted teeth.

"Been there, done that!" Jamal said with a laugh.

"... Godammit." Yuri scowled.

Arnaav walks around the pier where the luau was held. A few stands remain,
including a couple of humans cleaning up, but it has cleared out.

"Where... Is she..." He pondered aloud, looking about. He trots forward a
little, turning his head all around, but he can't find her, or her older
brother. He jogs over to one of the humans there, and tugged on his pants.

"Excuse me! Man?" Arnaav says. The man looked to him, and stares at the boy
with widened eyes.

"Uhhh... Hi?"

"Can you help me? I'm looking for someone. A small girl about this tall,"
He held his hand up just above his head, "She has eyes like this," He then
pulled the outer corners of his eyes to simulate an Asian look, "And she is
with an older man who looks like her. Have you seen her?"

"I have not, son..." The man blinked, "Are you lost, boy? What happened to
your clothes?"

"My what?"

"Well, you're buck naked son. Where are your parents?" He asked while
Arnaav looked down on himself.

"Ah I forgot. I'm not looking for my Mother and Father, I'm looking for the
girl. Have you seen her??"

"No, I haven't. Look, here," The man took Arnaav's hand and started to move
him away, "Lets go find your parents, and we can get this sorted out."

"I can't see my parents right now!" Arnaav said as he pulled his hand away,
"I'm looking for the girl!"

"Carl, come over here please!" The man called out.

"Grrrr, never mind!" Arnaav growled as he turned around, and ran for the
docks.

"Wait, kid! Come back!" The man said as he takes off his coat, "Hang on!"
Arnaav dashes along the wood planks, and leaps into the sea! "OH MY GOD!"
The man stops short of the dock, and reaches out as he sees the kid splash
into the water, "W-What the hell??" He whips around, seeing the other
cleaners approaching him, "Th-There was a kid! He was alone and lost! He
just dove into the sea!"


`I'm not getting anywhere. All of the humans there have already gone
home. Oh, if only Yuri was here, maybe she might know...' The otter boy
swims to a different part of the shore, and waddles out on all fours,
shaking the water with a quick toss on the spot. "I don't have time to find
Yuri AND Fumiko. Humans grow dormant at this time of the sun..." Arnaav
ponders, "I need to make her happy as soon as I can..." He looks around for
anything that may help. His eyes spot a half-human half-serpent, partly tan
skin and pinkish hair, and the lower half white and peach colored, looking
as if she is filing or inspecting her tail.

"Ooh! Belinda! Belinda!" Arnaav runs as fast as he can to her, almost
tripping over himself a few times. Belinda turns as she hears her name and
doubles back as she sees a somewhat unfamiliar child come up to her
quickly.

"Ah- What??" Belinda blinks as the small merman perched his paws upon the
snake tail, his eyes beaming up at her, "Who are you??" She asked, "What
are you doing out of the sea?"

"I'm looking from someone! Can you use your powers?? Please?" Ignoring the
scary fact that this mermaid is in fact the Latolcus that Adam talked
about, Syrinx had a way of speaking about this situation in a very
beneficial way to Arnaav's young mind.

"I uhh..." Belinda is really not sure what to make of this. She does recall
seeing this one around once or twice...


~~~


"Mmnnnnhh..." Adam moaned as he slouches down in the hot tube, with Merrick
straddled onto him, his naked butt sitting on his lap, with his trunks
placed on the rim of the tub, his arms resting around Adam's shoulders and
resting on the ridge, with his face resting on one shoulder. The water
continues to roll and bubble around them as they bathe naked
together. Syrinx and Kevin are off on the train home, Yuri's off at the
hospital for some moonlighting, while Jamal, Nick, and Sasha are clubbing
it hard at the King Tut gay bar.

"Guh..." Merrick groaned. He doesn't ever feel like getting out, feeling so
soothed, relax, and sleepy. The hot water is starting to effect his level
of energy, however.

"Raaaaaeeeeeer!" Comes a high-pitched meow. Adam looks around, hearing the
sound of prin pricks ticking and plucking up on the corner, until his tiny
kitten climbed onto the top of the hot tub.

"Hi Sky-Sky~" Adam smiled.

"Reeeerr! Raaaaeerr." The kitten mews loudly as he walks along the damp
wood over to them.

"Awwww, hi there~" Adam held up his hand, just as the kitten comes up and
sniffs as his dripping fingers. Adam giggles as that tiny tongue brushes
against his flesh to lap up the water. Skyler walks along the ledge until
he started to climb onto Adam's shoulder, "Ooohhhhh, he's so cute~!" Adam
gushes as he nuzzled into the side fur of the small critter's tummy as he
waked across his wet chest.

"Mhmmmm..." Merrick groaned idly until he tenses suddenly, feeling a few
sharp points pick at his flesh. Adam snickers as Merrick winces from
Skyler's baby claws scaling his back, "Adam, ow. He's... Fffffuck, my
skin's 10 times more sensitive...!"

"Ok, must be the hot water." Adam picks up the white kitty, before Merrick
adjusted and moved away from him. Skyler murred curiously as Adam wades to
the edge of the tub, and started to climb out, "Best thing about everyone
out for the night," Merrick ogles Adam's meaty, masculine rump as he climbs
gets his trunks and a towel before setting Skyler down, "Get to be naked
outside." He said slyly.

"REEEER!" The baby kitten clutches onto the towel as Adam starts to dry off
his leg.

"Oh, look he..." Adam chuckles and laughs as Skyler climbs up the towel up
to Adam, "Hahahaha, Sky-Sky, I gotta dry ooofff."

"I got it~" Merrick says as he come up behind Adam and starts to dry Adam's
back.

"Oh, thanks, babe." Adam says as he picks up Skyler and pets him, purring
so much the kitty is vibrating.

Merrick wipes and brushes along Adam's front from behind, down and around,
until Merrick dries off those hairy legs, leaving the intimate parts for
last. Adam grins as he feels Merrick start to fondle his tan buns with the
towel, feeling that tingle again as he gets thoroughly felt with felt.

"Ooh," He chuckles as he feels Merrick dig under his thighs and dries his
balls, "Ooh, baby~" Adam said as he twirls his hips slightly to entice
Merrick. Merrick giggles as he then proceeds to fondle Adam's penis,
"Heh... We're gonna fuck tonight." Merrick scoffs as he dries up Adam's
patch, before standing back up.

Merrick smiles as he strokes Skyler's little head as the kitten purrs at
both of them. "You're such a romantic. Just like Jamal." Adam snickers as
they walk idly back towards the back sliding door of the house.

Yuri listens intently with her stethoscope to a girl's torso in several
places, before standing back up, "Ok, sounds good..." She takes a tongue
compressor and a small flashlight, "Say, `Ah'."

"Ahhh." The young patient complied as Yuri inspected her throat.

"Hmm... Looks just a LITTLE inflamed..." She said before turning off her
light, "It might be a minor infection, I'm going to go ahead and prescribe
something to nip it in the bud, ok?" She told the girl's mother.

"Alright."

"The nurse will be right with you," She tosses her wood stick into the
trash as well as her rubber gloves, and walks out the door.

She arranges for the necessary treatment on the computer before printing it
out, and giving the papers to the nurse to bring it to the patients. She
sighed as she leaned in her chair, before getting up and going to the
cafeteria. Yuri need coffee... And Red Bull... Possibly mixed.


Yuri stirs the milk into her coffee, groaning as she rolls her neck as she
glances as the pyramid of 5-Hour Energy Shots. She looks at her coffee,
then at the red bottles, then at the small fridge of Red
Bull... Tempting...

"H-Hey, Dr Umiyama?" Comes a young voice. Yuri turns to see a young,
somewhat scrawny man holding two steaming cups, having frumpy short brown
hair on his head, wearing mint green .

"Oh hi, Dennis." She greeted, "How are you?"

"I um- Great!" He said, "I saw you coming in, and I wanted to get you a
coffee." He said as he held them up.

"You're off by a minute, Denny." Yuri said with a casual slant of her mouth
as she holds up her cup.

"I-, wha?" Dennis stammered.

"Come on, anyone whose seen me here knows enough that I always come here
around half past 2 for caffeine. Just saying you got here too late."

"Oh, yeah?" He said. Dennis is one of the volunteers who frequent the
graveyard shifts of the hospital. He's currently going to college for
journalism, but he has a slight interest in basic medicine.

"Come, sit." She pats the table. Dennis strolls around and sits himself
down in front of her. "Mochi?" She asked as she pushes a small tray of
lightly colored round orbs towards him.

"What are those?"

"Japanese sweet." She answered, "They're scoops of ice cream enveloped in
gelatin."

"Oh ok!" Dennis nodded, as he looked at the row, "... Which one's
chocolate."

"..." Yuri raises a brow, "The brown one."

"Oh! Yeah..." Dennis looks closely, and reaches for the white colored one.

"That's vanilla." She said.

"Ah, sorry..." Dennis looked, and slowly moved his hand over the middle
one.

"There you go, chief." Yuri said casually.

"Cool, thanks..." Dennis said, looking a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I get a little confused sometimes..." He said.

"... I'm usually not one to pry," Yuri said, "But I'm guessing you have a
problem seeing."

"No no, I can see fine, just..." Dennis shifted uncomfortably in his seat,
"I just... I'm partrially color-blind..."  
"Oh that's it?" Yuri
asked, "You sounded like it's something embarrassing."

"It kinda is..." Dennis said, "Never mind, it's not important." He said
before nibbling onto the cold mochi.


~~~


Flashes of blurring colors zoom here and around everywhere. Arnaav groans
and grunts as his memories are spun and spiraled in so many different
twists and turns, odd concepts and distorted time.

People run and walk quickly as his head keeps spinning around and around,
exploring every part of everything in sight.

One glimpse, and one freeze as the vision turns to a young Asian girl with
short black hair, wearing a colorful kimono as she reaches for a shining
egg.

"That's her! That's the one! That's the human I'm looking for!"

The girl's aura flashes in an explosion of abstract image as the world
blurs into a leap into the sky, as time again wrings into a single
focus. The world spins as the color of the girl's aura races across the
land, until the scape details into a singularity of a place. A place of an
apartment complex, with an older, male, similar aura is with her in the
dwelling.


Arnaav's eyelids clench and relax over and over again as Belinda's powers
searches his soul for the specific human he is looking for, as well as
establishing the map of the immediate island itself into his head. She lets
go of his noggin, leaving the young otter really dizzy.

"I... I think I got it." Arnaav says while he swerves, holding his head as
focus tries to stabilize itself in his eyes.

"Belinda?" Comes Harold's voice as he walks to them, "What's going on
here?"

"Thank you so much!" Arnaav quickly pats the snake tail, "Bye!" He turns
and sprints back into the ocean, diving into shore, and disappearing into
the beach.

"Uhh... Babe?" Harold asked.

"He needed my help." Belinda shrugged as her tail quickly morphs into a
pair of legs before getting up, "Mermaid stuff, love." She says with a
smirk. That smirk that tells Harold just what she's in the mood for,
especially when she gives that sexy hiss.

"O-Ok, babe!" Harold said, remembering that he needs to call the babysitter
and tell them their going to be a little late coming home...

Adam kisses Merrick's cheek as they lay bare back on the bed, feeling and
stroking each other gently as they rest. Adam tensed and chuckled as
Merrick's fingers trace along one of his nipples. He grins as he reaches
down, and traces a finger along Merrick's inner thigh, making him giggle
harshly and thrash a little.

"You know what I been thinking?" Adam asked.

"See about going for a 3 or 4 way?" Merrick asked. Adam chuckled as he
nods.

"Aheheheh, yep," He smiles, "Mix it up a little, ya know? There's this new
guy at work -- short and kinda chubby, and he's really adorable."

"Mmmnn..." Merrick snuggled closer, "I spotted Jamal in a G-string a while
back, and that had me going... Wouldn't mind getting some of that~"

"No, we are NOT sleeping with Jamal again." Adam scoffed, "The guy's going
to be my Best Man, it'd be weird."

"Well, there's lots of guys out there." Merrick said, "We could just hit up
Grindr and see whose interested."

"Ah. If only there was some kind of place we could go to for casual fooling
around and hanging out with naked guys. Like, maybe not necessarily have
sex, but just being nude and chilling with a handful of men, all natural
and stuff."

"Like when we were on the gay cruise camping?"

"Aheh heh heh. I guess, yeah... I'd like to do something like that again."

"Kinda reminds me of that episode of Queer As Folk where they had that
`Fairy Gathering' in the forest, where a bunch of gay guys go camping and
be free to be~" Merrick said, "I looked up if there was such a thing, and
found a couple of links and sites."

"WOULD you want to go to that?" Adam asked, "It still seems kinda weird for
me, but... I suppose I'd be open to it."

"Heh, I
hope we have to think of Fairy Names when if and when he go to one of those
gatherings."

"Heh, maybe..." Adam sighs as he stretches on the bed, flexing his arms,
before relaxing again. "Now... How to be romantic tonight... Oh, remember
that show called Scrubs?"

"Mhm~"

"One idea Carla had in the show when they were engaged, is if they didn't
have sex until they married."

"Ghhh! Hah," Merrick smirked, "I don't know how Yuri is just fine with sex
once a year."

"Hehehe," Adam feels Merrick's soft penis idly, rubbing his fingertips on
the smooth, delicate flesh of his balls as he can also feel Merrick's
member start to thicken, "So you WOULDN'T want to go chaste and wait for us
to get married to fuck your brains out."

Merrick turned his head to have a very quizzical look at his lover, "You're
joking, right? 6-8 moons WITHOUT you pounding my ass~? You realize I'd
probably short out the electric dildo if we did that."

"Hah! Ahaha," Adam laughs, "Yeah, and I'd probably wear out my fleshlight
paper thin."

"So~" Merrick gets up, and straddles onto Adam's lap, pushing his soft,
supple bottom onto Adam's limb manhood and tender orbs, "Before you get too
sucked in to the no-sex idea, I better make sure you keep begging me for
it."

Adam smiles, "I'm listening..."

"Good~" Merrick then puts his hands down onto the bed, and lowered himself
to Adam's chest. Adam gasps lightly as Merrick gives a deft lick on one of
Adam's nipples. Adam murrs as Merrick curved his tongue around the round
pink and nuzzling his soft lips onto the hardening nub.

"Mnn..." He presses his lips around the nub, and pulls at it gently, before
switching to gently nurse on the other nipple. Merrick huffs lowly as he
starts to lick and lap on Adam's neck, making him grin while trying not to
giggle as the wet lips and tongue smooch along his sensitive flesh.

Merrick giggles as he lies on his belly while Adam climbs on top of
him. "Ooh~" Merrick coos as Adam starts to mush his half-flaccid meat onto
Merrick's perfect bottom, while Adam starts to teethe and nibble one of
Merrick's ears, "Ooh~ Oh~" Merrick gasps and tenses as Adam's teeth pull
and chew gently on his cartilage, sending chills along his spine as his own
member starts to engorge beneath him.

"You almost seem kind of... I dunno," Dennis said, "Annoyed and distant."

"I try not to be," Yuri said, "Just my roommates and a couple of my
friends." She sips her coffee as they walk around the coffee counter that
is adorned with many kinda of tea bags, toppings, flavorings, and sweet
condiments.

"Why, were they making fun of you?" He asked.

"No. Just that I live with a big handful of perverts." She said with an
aggravated huff, "Can't get through one conversation without grab-bag of
innuendos and sex jokes."

"Just like anime." Dennis said. Yuri smirked as she stirs a cup of
lemon/passionfruit tea. The hospital is surprisingly tame and quiet
tonight, there's hardly anything to do. "Can't get through one episode
without some girl's boobs bouncing around on screen."

"Hah, exactly. I love it, but I can't stand how sexist it can be." Yuri
replied, "And then I'm the uptight prude because I want to hear some other
topic besides dick, ass, and vag."

"I understand." Dennis nodded as he restocks the cups and supplies of the
various food items in the cafe, "Half of my friends from high school
thought I was gay because I didn't have a girlfriend, or that I wasn't
interested in girls like they were."

"Not that I'm actually looking for romance, but I always feel a sense of
pressure every time I think about me getting married or going out with
someone."

"Huh? Why's that?"

"Well, as I always say, I come from a very traditional family." Yuri
answered, "Half my childhood was spent learning Japanese practices. Now how
do you think they would react if I went out with someone who WASN'T
Japanese?"

"I see your point..." Dennis said.

"I mean, I only had one serious boyfriend, and he used to be an old crush
of mine." She said. She sighs as she looks at the night out the window,
"One boyfriend in my whole life..."

"I thought you weren't interested in finding a partner."

"I'm not." Yuri said, "It's just the idea that I don't think I've ever
really had control over my own personal life... My grandparents were cooing
and gushing when I told them I was dating my ex, Ryojin... And they were
actually angry with me when I told them that we broke up."

"It's like, what business is it of theirs, yeah?" Dennis asked.

"Sort of... Like, is it really that important to them that I fit on an
image that would be charming on a porcelain pot? And their attitude only
makes me want to stay single all the more. Hell, what if they disowned me
if I decided I was going to date a white guy? Or a Hispanic? Or what if I
started going out with my hornball of a roommate Jamal?"

"So you've really never... Been with anyone other than your ex?"

"No. I've slept with a guy or two within the last few years." Yuri said,
"My roommate's sex life is as active as a bonfire. He has a ton of
numbers."

"Numbers as in... What, like dates?" Dennis asked meekly.

"Dates, hook-ups, buddies, everything in between. Jamal gets around and he
sleeps around. He's a real people person." She takes a drink of her tea, "I
mean, don't get me wrong, I like how traditional my family is, and I like
my culture and the history, but my grandparents are super gong-ho about
it."

"How serious?"

"Get this." Yuri said with an annoyed tone, "My grandfather once scolded me
for half an hour, for watching Naruto. Anime! He chewed my ear out for
watching anime!"

"What?" Dennis scoffed at her sentence, "Isn't anime from Japan??"

"Yes, but that's how incredibly old fashioned he is: He calls it
Westernized Garbage that is designed to pull perfectly good Japanese
children away from the old ways of our ancestors. You know my
great-grandmother once owned and operated her own dojo complete with a
stone garden?"

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah. But eventually, she got less and less students, and had to repurpose
the dojo into a giftshop. My grandfather takes it very hard to this day."
She trailed off a little, "I suppose I don't blame him -- I'd be bitterly
angry if I lost the family business to consumerism too. But I think I found
a good balance of modern and tradition, not that HE can ever know about
it."

"So what about your parents?"

"My Mother's family has had a similar upbringing, but her parents aren't as
strict as my Dad's family. She was raised in Osaka until she moved to
America when she was about 9 years old. My Father didn't come to Colorado
until he was 22 years old. He's steeped in Japanese culture, but he LOVES
American sitcoms." Yuri grinned, "It's like his guilty pleasure. You should
see the DVD collection he has, and he has to pack them up in like 8 boxes
when my grandparents say they're about to visit."

"What shows does he like?" Dennis asked with a grin, enjoying hearing about
her life.

"His all-time favorite is Sabrina the Teenage Witch," She answered, "He
can't get enough of Salem. He almost suffocated from laughing too hard when
they made an I Love Lucy reference."

"What?" Dennis squints a little, to try and remember something from a show
he hasn't seen in years, "Which episode was that?"

"Ah, I think Aunt Hilda was trying to put together a talent show at the
coffee house she was running," Yuri said dismissively, "Salem was singing
like some Mexican dancer with the fruit/flower hat on his head. Hilda was
like `Lucy. How many times I have to tell chu, chu can't be in the
show!'. And Salem was like, `But Rickyyyy!' In a high-pitched voice." Yuri
smirked, "My Dad almost couldn't breath, he thought it was so funny."

Arnaav irks as he climbs up on a window of a ground floor apartment. His
mind is still turbulent by the rush of images and faces and colors from the
Latolcus's help. He can at least focus his thoughts enough to know the way
Belinda showed him to Fumiko's dwelling.

He grunts as the little otter boy steps onto the ledge of the windowsill,
and peers in. The dwelling is dark, and inactive. He picks up a scent that
is different than the outside air, and his nose traces it to an opening on
the far side of the glass.

Arnaav pulls the window open, and smiles with glee as he makes it roomy
enough to open! He climbs in carefully, when his paw slips on a large disk,
"WHOA!" He squeals as he slips from a height, and leaps out onto a tiled
floor, hearing a loud CRASH behind him. He lands on all fours, and whips
around to see a second large dish slip and fall, and shatter to the ground.

"Oh no..." He whimpers. He turns around, and looks out as he crawls into
the house, looking around, and keeping his ears strained for any noise. He
hears a clicking chirping coming from a white cage hung in a corner of the
dwelling. He stands up on his hind legs as he tries to detect anyone
inside.

"H-Hello?" He timidly calls out, "Anyone??" He lurks forth until he smells
the scent of the girl. He follows the scent until it led him to an ajar
door. He gasps with joy before he rushed in, "Fumi!"

After a pause in the dark room, Arnaav hears no response, no trace at
all. He sniffs around, picking up Fumiko's scent all around him as he
wonders in, and seeing different artifacts around, but he cannot find her,
after searching under the bed or in her closet.

The boy gets bold enough, and opens a different door after leaving the
room. It's of a different scent, and he searches under the bed and the
closet in here too, "Fumiko? Where are you??"

Arnaav leaves the room and checks the coat closet, and opened every cabinet
in the kitchen -- with only about three weeks time with living among
humans, he still has little idea just where smaller humans may be.

"Fumiko??? Fumiko!" He called out as he waddles over to the back porch, and
looked there. "Where is she..." He pouts as he sniffles, looking everywhere
in the apartment, but can find no one here.

"This is where her aura was... She should be here... I have no memory of
this place, but her aura was here. She HAS to be..." Arnaav looks to the
front door, and walked to it. He groaned as he swerved for a moment. He has
suddenly become very light headed.

Arnaav whined as he pulled at the doorknob, finding it locked. He barely
mustered the focus to turn the lock, and opened the door. The boy pants as
he closes the door, but forgets to click it securely closed. He walks
forward a few feet, finding himself treading onto some dry grass.

"Not now..." He whines as he holds his head, "Not now, please..." He cries
weakly as he tries to walk away, his vision becoming more and more blurred
as his body feels more and more heavy. He holds his stiff-net pouch to his
chest before his mind becomes blank, and his body feels a sudden thunk.

"Ohhh! Ahhh! O-Oh gah!" Merrick moans out as he feels himself pressed on
the bed, with Adam's hand pressing firmly on his back while Adam pumps his
dick back and forth into Merrick's rump

"You like that, babe?" Adam growled as he jerks his pelvis in and out,
huffing and groaning as Merrick's hot, tight hole squeezes around his fat
cock.

"M-Mhm~ Gohh! Ahh! Nnnhh!..."  Merrick pushes his rear back in attempt to
get the banging lover to hit his mount harder.

"God, you love dick." Adam huffed, "You fuckin love it." Adam grabs onto
the post, and harshly drives his rod into Merrick's ass.

"AAHHHhhh~" Merrick howled with lust as the hard push grinds into his
hidden spot.

"Mmnnh, yeah~" Adam forces his cock in again and rolls his hips in again
and again, "Ok..." Adam pulls his slippery dick out of Merrick asshole,
stroking it, "Move aside, I want you to ride it."

"Ooh, yessir~" Merrick smiles as he gets up while Adam lies down. Adam
strokes his manhood as his sexy fiancé climbs up over him. Merrick
angles and positions himself above Adam's lap, while Adam aims his meat in
between those lubed buns. He rubs the glans of his penis along Merrick's
hot, wet crack, until he located the used pucker.

"Right there." Adam said, "Go down..." Merrick eased himself down, huffing
and slipping a moan as he penetrated himself onto Adam's hard
dick. "OOOOooohhh, fuck yeah~!" Adam moans as he feels the hot wet clamp
glide down on his member. Merrick grunts and moans as he feels his anus
fill up with pleasurable pain, spreading him around inside.

"MNNH!" Adam bites his lip as he spanks Merrick hard.

"Ahh~!" Merrick moans as he rides Adam's meat vigorously, "I'm close,
Adam~"

"Aw, already~?" Adam grins as he drills himself up into Merrick's ass. He
grabs onto Merrick's hips after swatting his hand away from his dick, "Make
it last, sweetheart~"

"Mnnhh," Merrick whines as he bucks himself a little.

"Stop for a sec." Adam said, putting both hands onto Merrick's buttcheeks,
"Lets see how deep I can get ya..."

"Oh fuck, Adam~" Merrick moaned as he feels Adam's fingers squeeze his
tender flesh. He blushes as those hands grab and knead both of his mounds,
and pull them apart. "O-Oh~!" Merrick gapped as his weight sinks down his
rear onto the base of Adam's cock.

"Oh God, yeah~!" Adam moans as his hard flexes inside of Merrick anus. He
grunts as he bites his lip as he meshes his groin into Merrick's bottom,
seizing those hips and stirring Merrick's insides with his member.

"AH! THERE!" Merrick cried out as Adam's head brushes a very deep spot, his
own cock spurting a glob of precum.

"Ooh, right there, babe?" Adam grins as he grooved himself up and down,
trying to push on the G-Spot again.

"Annhh... Hoh..." Merrick moans and pants as he rides Adam's lap, whining
in bliss, before his chest puffs out in lust, "OHH!" His rod stands rigid
from Adam hitting his target again, his cock almost turning red from so
much stimulation, curving even as he tries not to cum too soon.

"Fffffuck," Adam presses the back of his head onto his pillow as he jerks
his hips into Merrick, "Gaaahhhhd" He hissed harshly, massaging his dick
with Merrick's tight tunnel.

"AHH! Ohhh! A-Adam! A-Ahh!" Merrick grabs onto the bedpost, unable to
contain himself as Adam's hard cock shoots up into him second after second,
his sore balls resting in Adam's hairy patch, bouncing back and forth from
Adam's pistoning himself on and on.

"Gah fuck..."

"Cum in me. Cum in me." Merrick begged as his butt jiggles with each
forceful entry of Adam's lodged penis.

"Fuck, I'm gonna cum."

"Make me cum. Make me cum. Oh fuck! Oh FFFF- ahh~!" Merrick moans out as he
tenses, "OHHH!" He moans out as that head punches his spot again.

"FFFSSSSS," Adam hisses as his feet pushes into the mattress as his ass
hovers above the bed, still hilting Merrick's rump, until he stays up
there, "... GAH!" His leg slips a little as he feels himself unload, "FAH!
Ah!" Adam's dick instantly becomes spent and sore as he injected his seed
into Merrick's taint.

"Ohhhh yes~" Merrick whined as he feels the white lava gush inside him, his
chest swelling with heavy warmth as Adam moans and squirms beneath him, "Oh
God... Ohhh... Hoohhhhhh~" Merrick squeals as he touches his solid penis,
and just begins to shoot several long white ropes. He pants as each stripe
of pearly syrup flies into Adam's furry chest.

"Ohh! Nhnnn! Gah... Hah... Hah..." Merrick pants as he strokes himself,
looking as his cum seeps into Adam's thick field, before he pulls himself
up and off of Adam's meat, and lies down next to him.

"Fuck, that was hot..." Adam groaned as he rolled over on his side, "Rem-
Ahm?" Merrick immediately glues his mouth over his. "Allff," Adam huffs
around the kiss as Merrick kisses him sloppily. He snickers as they nibbled
each other's lips. Adam smirks as he moves his hands down and started to
toy with Merrick's sides, thus causing his lover to giggle harshly.

"AHH hehehee!" Merrick squirms for that moment, before Adam lurched forward
as Merrick's rump gets the blanker. Merrick laughs as Adam gnaws and digs
his face into Merrick's chest, "Stop being so silly! Hahhahah!"

"Can't help it~ You're too cute!" Adam playfully said. The two of them seem
unusually wired tonight. "Shouldn't we be ready to dose off by now?"

"I don't know." Merrick shrugged, "I have noticed that I get more excited
and energetic lately... Mostly every time I think about the wedding."
Merrick grins.

"Me too." Adam smiles widely.

"It's only about 10, isn't it?" Merrick asked as he checks the clock, "Lets
go wash up and catch Jamal and Nick over at King Tut's?"

"Hah. Knowing you, I'm surprised you don't wanna show up covered in jizz."

"Sayyy..." Merrick grins.

"Move it and wash it, babe!" Adam slapped Merrick butt before pushing him
out the door.

"I wonder if they're going as crazy as we were just now..." Merrick
wondered.


~~~


"WOOOO!!" Jamal whooped as he shakes off the bitter wave of the previous
shot. It's really crowded and bustling in King Tut's tonight -- or as Jamal
affectionately refers to as King Butt's or King Nut's.

Just barely under the line of safety and decency codes, Nick is only
wearing a gold and blue thong and snake headband as he laughs, several shot
glasses having been placed upside down around his bare body, before Jamal
placed another emptied glass onto Nick's belly button.

Tonight is stripper night, and Jamal is engaging in one of the gay bar's
favorite pastime, naked body shots. Nick has volunteered to be one of the
sexy holders of a handful of shots, and Jamal is down to the last shot of
the front side -- a shot placed carefully on the bulge.

"Go! Go! GO! GO! GO! GO!" The crowd cheers over and over as Jamal then
lowers his head onto Nick's crotch, and opens his mouth wide. Nick laughs
out loud as Jamal damn well nears swallows the shot glass hole as he
growled and shoved his face into Nick's packages, gnawing like an animal on
Nick's junk.

"OOOOOOHHHHHHHH!" The crowd whoops as Jamal straightens out, and pushed the
empty glass from around his thick lips, "AHHHHHHHH!" The crowd cheers as he
shook his head about, and puts the glass upside down onto Nick's round
bulge.

"HOOO yeah!!!!" Jamal roared deeply.

"Oh my God, can it be anymore slower??" Yuri groaned as she and Dennis
walked her routine rounds about the patients in their beds, "I swear if
something urgent doesn't happen, I may have to go on a crazy spree with a
chainsaw just to get some patients."

"Oh jeez," Dennis winced.

"Yeah, sorry, that's a little dar-"

"Dr Umiyama!" Called an angry voice. Yuri rolls her eyes as she turned
round.

"Yes, Dr Heffner." Yuri answered.

"I am sorry that the night is so boring for you," Said the very strict old
doctor, "But you need to keep your attitude professional at all times, and
I would appreciate it if you kept that kind of sense of humor on your own
time!"

"Yes, I understand Dr Heffner." She said with a drone tone. He turned and
left.

"Ah man..." Dennis said, "I always get nervous when older people get
pissed."

"Ah, he's always pissed." Yuri dismissed, "You know about him, right? Dr
Heffner works in the morgue; he doesn't cooperate with people too well, so
he normally works with dead ones so they won't talk back."

"Well... To be fair, that was kinda in bad humor." Dennis said softly.

"Yeah, I know," She admitted, "I was just about to say that was a little
too dark for me, until Heffner yelled at me."

"So uh... Yuri," Dennis fiddled, "I was wondering, if you're free
tomorrow..."

"I might be." Yuri said, "What's up?"

"Well, would you wanna-"

[~Masayume chasing, chasing~ Koero motto jibun~ shijou saikou no~]

Yuri's cellphone begins to ring out from her pocket, prompting her to pull
it from her phone, "Ugh. It's my ex."

"You still have his number??" Dennis asked.

"He's someone I know, it may be an emergency, I always keep prepared. Give
me a minute, see what he wants." She accepts the call and holds it to her
ear. "Moshi moshi..."

Yuri leans to the side as she listens on the other line, "... Yes, he's
Merrick's little brother..." Her eyes widened, "Are you serious?? What's he
doing at YOUR place? ... What?? What the hell happened?! Is he alright?!
..." Dennis looks with bewilderment at her as she quickly grows tense,
"Alright, just lay him down, and put an ice pack over his head, and the
back of his neck if you have a spare... Yes, I'm on my way now. Arigatou
gozaimasu." She ends the call and turns around.

"W-What's going on??" Dennis trots next to her.

"My roommate's brother is passed out at my ex's place. His place has been
robbed, and the kid was unconscious around the corner. I need to go right
now." Yuri said as she started to jog.

"D-Do you need any help??" He asked.

"I got it handled. I'll see you later!" Yuri called out as she started to
rush away.

"Alright... See ya..."
