This story is © Temporal Arctic Vulpine Enterprises 1996-1997 written by: TimeFox Classmates ***************************************************** It was a cold February morning at the Community College. A chill wind blew over the campus, the landscapers having gone for the winter months. Rysk Arislan parked his car in the student lot some distance away from the double doors leading into the main building. He unbuckled his seat- belt, gathered up his books and began the trek through the large parking lot to the doors. Despite his clothing, fur, and feathers, the griffin morph was still chilled by the cold sting of the weather. He plodded through the light coating of snow and entered the college's lobby. A few of the newer students were looking at the map of the campus and trying to find their classrooms while another couple of students sat on the couches lining the walls, studying, and one or two napping lightly. A small group of girls he passed in the hall followed him with their gazes, an occasional hushed whisper or giggle coming to his ears. Rysk didn't consider himself to be incredibly handsome but apparently that's what others thought of him. He was average in height, 5' 11", and he didn't wear anything fancy. Jeans, a t-shirt, and his leather jacket was all he usually donned with the exception of boots and a scarf for the winter. Physics I was the only class he had on Fridays but he dreaded the class. Rysk had never been good at math or science, his natural aptitude was in art. He was planning on transferring to a college which had a better art program than the one here but one of the entry requirements was Physics and so here he was. He walked into room 2408 and plopped down at his desk in the back row. Rysk normally chose his seat in the back row for the express purpose of not being called on. The arctic fox who sat to his left turned and smiled. "Well...nice to see you made it to class Rysk. I thought you were going to miss yet another wonderful Physics class." The fox's name was Aedan, his father was a night watchman at a power plant and his mother didn't work. Aedan had been forced to get out and raise all the money he needed for tuition himself. Aedan's whole family were nothing but layabouts, Rysk had met most of them when Aedan had tutored him, both he and the fox shared the same view of the family. But Aedan seemed different. He was entirely self motivated and had worked hard to get where he was. He had made his mark in the sciences, exhibiting a natural talent for formulas and equations. He had been a good friend to Rysk as well, last semester when the griffin was in danger of failing Trigonometry, the bright little fox had come to his aid and offered to tutor him. Rysk had passed the class with a B- and a had discovered a close new friend. Rysk smiled at Aedan. "I have to be here if I'm going to pass Aedan, if I don't complete this class I won't be admitted into that other school." Aedan nodded. "Well. If you ever need me to tutor for you again. All you have to do is ask. I'd be glad to help you out again." Rysk thanked him and they both stopped talking and got to jotting down notes as the professor arrived and began his lecture on the Uncertainty Principle. Halfway through the class, Rysk glanced over at Aedan's notebook to copy a formula he missed. As he looked over the paper for the right sequence of numbers and symbols, he noticed that the fox morph's paw was shaking slightly. In all the classes they had been in, Rysk had never known Aedan to be anything but cool and composed. He lifted his eyes and looked at Aedan more closely than he had when they had exchanged a few brief words. The poor fox looked absolutely ghastly. Aedan's fur was tousled and matted in places, there were stained patches on the pure white fur of his arms. He seemed to be favoring one footpaw, keeping it slightly off the floor while the other rested on the back of the chair in front of him. Rysk guessed that it was a sprain. His hands shook slightly as he took down notes, usually bright eyes looking dull and a listless expression was painted on his muzzle. It appeared as though he hadn't slept. There was also a small spot of red on his neck beneath the white neckfur. Blood? Overall, he seemed to be in very poor shape. Rysk wracked his brains to try and figure out what had happened, deciding to ask Aedan after the class ended. While the professor and the class left, Aedan stayed behind, slowly packing his books and notes away into a faded blue backpack. Aedan slung the bag over his shoulder and limped out of the classroom, wincing with each step. Outside the door, Rysk came to his side and helped him along. The griffin's toned build allowing him to easily support most of the fox's weight. He helped Aedan out to the parking lot and his car, preparing to give the fox a ride home like he did every Friday. Rysk was preparing to ask him what happened when Aedan spoke first. "Rysk...if its not too much trouble...could I possibly stay at your place for a while? Its just for a few days and I won't be any bother at all. I promise. I just can't go home right now. I don't know if I'll ever be able to again." Rysk switched the radio off and looked over at his friend, noting the pained look on his face. "What happened to you Aedan? You look absolutely wretched. I noticed it in class and I was just about to ask you." "er..." Aedan looked at Rysk then out the window. "My dad did it. I... I told him something which I'd rather not say here and we got into an argument. He lost his temper and roughed me up. He said he never wanted to see me again and he threw me out of the house. I wandered around on a sprained ankle most of the night. I slept at the bus depot but only for an hour, then I caught the bus to school." "Sure...you can crash with me for as long as you need to. Its no trouble. I won't pry but if you want someone to talk to about it, I'm here to help." Rysk started the car and pulled out of the parking space. "Let's go home , I'll get you cleaned up and you can help me out with tonight's Physics homework." Aedan smiled and nodded. As the pair drove off to Rysk's house, the sun peeked out above the clouds and began to warm the snow. 'Hotel California" played over the radio during the short trip. Few words were exchanged during the drive. Once Rysk pulled into his driveway, he told Aedan to sit tight. The griffin ran and unlocked the door, bringing their books in then came back out to the car. He opened the car door for Aedan and to the fox's surprise, he found himself being picked up and carried up the steps, into the house. Rysk set him down and smiled at him. "You've got to be careful of that ankle, the stairs would've put too much strain on it." Rysk explained. Aedan nodded and smiled. "Oh...I see." Rysk helped him over to the bathroom door. "First let's get you cleaned up. While you grab a shower, I'll take your clothes and throw them into the washing machine." Aedan limped into the bathroom and left his clothes outside the door. Rysk picked them up and tossed them into the washing machine then walked into the kitchen. While the fox showered, Rysk put the kettle on for tea and pulled out a pair of mugs and a couple of teabags. It was a time honored ritual while Aedan was tutoring him to always have a cup of tea handy. Rysk joked with him that the reason his fur was so white was because of all the sugar he added to his tea. A short time later, Aedan emerged from the shower looking like a drowned rat and wearing only a robe and his glasses. His glasses were slightly fogged from the steam but were quickly clearing when they were exposed to the cool air in the living room. Rysk giggled at his appearance and set Aedan off giggling as well. Aedan finally stopped laughing and smiled at Rysk. "I hope you don't mind me borrowing your robe, I didn't want to use the towel I dried off with, it was all soggy. I never figured pink as your color..." The griffin snickered. "Well...I didn't really care about the color when I bought it, it just felt nice to wear." Rysk helped Aedan over to one of the large couches and sat him down. The fox morph was smiling at the attention he was getting. Rysk bounded off and returned with a hair dryer and a set of brushes. When Aedan asked what he was doing, the griffin told him to help pay for his tuition he had worked part-time in a grooming salon. He told the soaked fox to relax as he plugged the dryer in and first dryed the injured foot. He then retrieved a first aid kit and bandaged it. Aedan made no objection when the griffin slowly removed the robe to dry him better. The warm air from the dryer tickled Aedan and he had to use all his control to stop from bursting into giggles. Once his front was dry, Rysk flipped him over and started on his back. The feeling was absolutely wonderful and Aedan's tail twitched slowly. When he was dry, Rysk put the dryer away and began his work with the brushes. He started with the fox's good leg, brushing out the snarls gently and expertly. He delicately did the same for the bandaged leg. Aedan wriggled a bit when the brush neared his crotch. Rysk must have noticed because he stopped and moved to another part. Within the span of an hour, Rysk had almost completely finished grooming Aedan. Rysk stepped back and admired his work and was about to put the brushes away when he turned and asked Aedan: "Would you rather take care of the last bit or would you like me to finish it?" The foxmorph blinked and thought for a minute then softly replied, "You please." Rysk nodded and picked up a brush with softer bristles than the others and kneeled before the fox sitting on the couch. Aedan gingerly spread his legs as Rysk began to brush the inside of first one thigh and then the other. The griffin applied the brush to the soft fur around Aedan's sheath. Aedan leaned back and closed his eyes, the sensation of the brush near his crotch producing an incredible feeling of warmth though the fox's entire body. Perhaps be accident, Rysk's hand slipped and brushed along the soft, furry length of Aedan's sheath. Aedan immediatly arched his back and mrrrred loudly in both surprise and pleasure. The insides of his ears revealed he was blushing when a few inches of his arousal poked from the safety of his sheath. He apologized profusely to Rysk but the griffin only shook his head and laughed saying he took it as a compliment to his skill. The brush was set down and Rysk picked up a small bottle of clear liquid from the case the grooming equipment was housed in. He unscrewed the cap and applied a little of the liquid to his hands. Aedan caught the faint odor of cinnamon or a spice like it. When Rysk pushed a bit of Aedan's sheath down and began to rub the oil onto the fox's erection, Aedan sucked in a quick breath, gasping in ecstasy. Aedan showed no signs of objecting to being handled by another male and neither did Rysk. He massaged the hot organ in his hands, spreading the cool oil completely over Aedan's vulpine penis. By now, the entire length of Aedan's cock had slid from its sheath and was being handled by Rysk. Aedan noticed that Rysk's hands were finely scaled like a bird's legs and were incredibly warm despite his assumption that they wouldn't be. It was only a matter of seconds before instinct and pleasure clouded Aedan's mind, he lifted his hips from the couch and began to thrust into Rysk's hands. The smiling griffin morph masterfully stroked Aedan's slickened penis, delighted that his freind was enjoying himself. As Aedan began to thrust, Rysk bent his head and took the fox's engorged cock into his eagle-like beak. Aedan moaned as he was swallowed into the warm, wet opening provided by Rysk. The rigid edges of the griffin's beak lightly scraped the fox's sensitive flesh as his tongue swirled around the tip, driving Aedan to an even higher plateau of pleasure. For what seemed like endless hours, Rysk nursed on Aedan's prick like a cub at its mother's teat. The griffin teased with his fingers and his tongue, bringing the fox morph to the brink of orgasm then stopping and allowing him to calm before starting again. Finally Aedan let out a short howl, his body stiffening and his paws clutching the cusions of the couch as he fed a generous amount of hot, musky fox cum to Rysk. The griffin swallowed greedily, trying to get as much of the salty fluid as he could, almost choking in the process. A thin trickle of semen ran down his beak and dripped onto the fur of his leonine half. Rysk sucked gently on Aedan's cock, drawing out the last drops of the fox's orgasm and cleaning him with his tongue. He released his friend from his beak and sat next to him, watching as Aedan panted slightly, his cock slowly sliding back into the protection of its furred sheath. Once Aedan had regained his breath, he smiled at Rysk lovingly. "Well... that was THE best grooming I've ever had in my life. I never figured you to have such an incredible skill" Rysk grinned back at him. "I'm glad you liked it. I was afraid you might have been a bit offended. I think it was when you first began to tutor me when I realized I had a bit of a crush on you. We'd been friends for so long...I was a bit afraid that if I told you how I felt you might be disgusted and leave me. Preferring males to females, I've had to be careful around who I tell. There are a lot of people out there who don't understand." Aedan nodded in agreement and leaned over into Rysk, a gentle mrrr emanating from the fox's chest. "Oh, I like you too Rysk. I know it sounds a bit goofy but you're the best friend I could ever hope for." The griffin hugged Aedan, pulling him to his feathered chest. Aedan snuggled his head beneath Rysk's chin, wrapping his arms around the feathered back and breathing in ihs friend's soft scent. Rysk draped his wings around them both, acting as a blanket. He sighed happily, finally having found someone he knew he could trust and confide in without fear of being shunned. The pair layed there on the couch in a tight embrace for over an hour. Rysk was beginning to doze lightly when Aedan spoke. "Rysk...remember how I told you I had gotten into an argument with my dad? And that was why he roughed me up..." Rysk nodded and whispered "yes..." Aedan snuggled into him again. "Well...it was...it was because I told him. Because I told him I was gay." Rysk opened his eyes and chuckled softly. He looked down at Aedan pressed against his chest and kissed the fox between the ears. "Really? I would never have guessed..." He reached over and switched the nearby lamp off, bathing the room in darkness. The two friends slept in each other's arms. Both fox and griffin content, each having finally found a lover in the other. Fin. Feedback on this story would be greatly appreciated. Mail any comments to kitsune@edgenet.net. Thanks!
