Chapter Text
Mornings are cold, that's common knowledge, but Jack was sure he would freeze to death this winter, and honestly? He made peace with the concept. The Labrador was covered up to his snout in heavy blankets, a wide array of Cherryton issued standard blankets paired with some old-school yarn knitted blankets he managed to steal from Voss. The fennec knits apparently, and Jack was too grateful for the warmth they provided to think about it too much.
The cold air still seeped through everything somehow. The dog mentally cursed that his fur wasn't thicker as he cuddled into the lumping mass of textiles. Maybe if he wasn't such a wimp, he wouldn’t be freezing to death under two kilograms of blankets. However, Jack had taken “being nice to yourself” as a hobby lately, so he poured his thoughts into his pillow and got back to shivering.
Maybe staying at school during the holidays wasn't the greatest idea, as overbearing as his parents might be, at least they allocated a budget for heating. While his mother would most likely berate him endlessly for Rex knows what, Jack stopped listening to her a long time ago, the food was passable, and he didn't have to rely on his allowance and his sup-bar cooking skills. Why did he stay here again?
"Jack! I managed to find it!"
Ah, that's why.
Legoshi strolled into the dorm clad in a thick winter Jacket. "I managed to get the last copy of Titanic they had!" The wolf beamed as he held an old-looking CD in his hands. The animal’s clothes were damp with moisture and there were some still-melting snowflakes on his clothing. Jack was convinced the room dipped 20 degrees below zero with the wolf’s arrival. However, the wide smile on his friend's face might have been enough to forgive him for such temperature-oriented transgressions.
"I'm glad Legoshi, but also surprised that they have such a limited stock of this movie." In truth Jack wasn't really surprised, the movie was old, and most people fancied Rexmas movies during this period. But the wolf loved his tragedies and Jack loved seeing him happy.
"I know! It was quite hard for me to get to the shop, as well. The place was very crowded, and I almost ran over a mouse on the way there, I felt terrible — poor lady kept hitting me with her purse." The wolf said his story and in truth Jack was only half listening, only giving approving remarks and grunts. The Labrador was preoccupied with watching his friend undress.
And he felt only slightly bad about it. Maybe.
The wolf removed his wet clothing and remained only in his boxers, the fur on his back was slightly damp and messy. The faint underline of his back muscles rippled as Legoshi bent over for some clean clothing. Jack tried hard not to stare at the wolf's ass but found himself failing miserably. The dog was ashamed to admit it, but the way Legoshi's arms flexed as he grabbed a shirt from his drawer made the Labrador blush. Suddenly, it wasn't as cold under the blankets as before.
The wolf was of course oblivious to it all, continuously talking in his soothing deep tone.
"—And of course, I was very adamant about letting that old dall sheep take my place in the queue, but the store owners were nice enough to call another cashier to help with the crowded place. Anyway, I managed to snatch this and I'm so excited to see it again." The wolf rambled on as he inserted the disk into the old DVD player, they had laying around in the dorm room. The machine whirled to life as its slightly dusty interior got reminded that it should function.
"That's nice Legoshi.” The Labrador said. In time he learned that his friend's ramblings were more to himself than anyone else. Still, he quite enjoyed listening to him. Collot had insisted that Legoshi could start doing ASMR podcast or something. The wolf seemed to be satisfied with the way the DVD player worked, so he grabbed a remote and scanned the room for a suitable place to stay. "Do you want me to grab a mattress and lay it down in front of the TV?"
"I would literally rather die than get up in this cold," Jack said in a deadpan voice. He punctuated this fact by sinking deeper into his blanket fortress.
Legoshi cocked his eyebrow, amused. "Is it that cold? I'm only wearing a shirt."
Jack was fully aware of his friend wearing a shirt due to the way it hugged the wolf's frame. Jack blushed once again, he felt like a pervert gawking like that at his friend. "But those abs tho..." the annoying voice in his head quipped. And sadly, he had to agree with it.
"Not everyone has fur as thick as you do." Jack pouted. "Besides, I'm too comfy."
Legoshi, being the caring friend that he is didn't complain and instead moved the TV so that it faced the bunk bed where Jack was staying. "There, now you don't have to move".
Legoshi closed the curtains, so the light wouldn’t bother them. Jack watched as the wolf, with uncharacteristic gentleness for an animal of his size sat next to Jack's bed, forever careful to not disturb his friend.
The animal turned to the dog with a kind smile. "All set to watch the movie?"
The wolf was sitting on the cold wooden floor. It wasn't unlike him to put the needs of others above his and Jack was sure Legoshi didn't want to disturb the Labrador. The Labrador was surprised to note that he felt disappointed that the wolf did not choose to sit in bed next to him. Ever since they had their kiss, they have been stuck in an odd limbo that neither of them dared to break out of.
But then again, a warm body next to him wasn't going to hurt, right?
"W-why don't you lay in bed with me?" Jack stammered as he felt his ears go red. "I- I mean, if that's okay." This was stupid, they slept together in the same bed lots of times, Jack shouldn't be this embarrassed.
The wolf audibly gulped as he got up but didn't say anything back. He was hovering over the Labrador with a confused look plastered on his face.
"What's wrong Legoshi?" Jack asked his pondering friend.
The grey animal seemed startled as he was snapped out of his apparent internal dilemma. "Ah it's just that, I cannot get into bed without letting the cold get in as well."
Dear Rex, that sentence shouldn't have had the effect it had on the Labrador. It was disgustingly sweet and exactly like Legoshi to be so attentive. Jack felt his heartbeat increase at the indulgent thought that the wolf truly cares about his well-being.
The Labrador lifted the mass of blankets and shivered as the cold air finally got the best of him. "Hop on in," Jack said while smiling.
The wolf couldn't contain the swishing of his tail as he got comfortable next to Jack. He seemingly decided on a whim that it will be much easier to not move Jack out of the way, so he snuggled up next to his friend, pressing his back to the other's chest. The Labrador wasn't used to being a big spoon or being any kitchen utensil at all, but these things tend to happen.
The first thing apparent to the Labrador was how much heat the wolf gave off. Jack couldn't hold down a sigh of relief at the warmth that was coming from his friend. The feeling of pure bliss that overtook him was almost distracting enough to not let his mind dwell on the fact that his crush/best friend was now laying in his arms. They haven't done anything more than kiss since they've been entangled in this mess and to be honest, Jack felt like his heart might burst out of his chest.
"Just a fair warning I might cry during this." The wolf said as a matter of the fact. His warm tone was seemingly unbothered by the fact that they were alone in a room with no space between the two of them.
But then again, this WAS Legoshi. They've known each other forever. Maybe things were weird because Jack was making them weird.
"You always cry during these movies; it's quite endearing I think." Jack jabbed at his friend whose only response had been an indulgent whine and a slight tap of his tail. Yes, maybe things would be just fine.
—
The movie was close to the end and Jack was surprised about how much he had gotten into it. He was quite moved by the love story between Jack and Rose and the tragic end of their tale. While under duress, the dog might admit his eyes were quite wet. Still, he couldn't hold a candle to Legoshi. The wolf was a mess. He was coiled like a spring and Jack could feel his sadness as the credits rolled off and the somber music played in the background. Heroically, the wolf was trying to conceal his crying. But the slight shake of his shoulders told a different story.
Jack found the display cute. He used this opportunity to drape his head over the wolf's shoulder and pull him into a hug. Legoshi let himself be embraced while he let out a pathetic whine. For some, it might have been odd to see a hulking beast such as the wolf crying over a movie.
"Are you okay there, buddy? Want me to grab a napkin?" Jack spoke gently to his friend. The fur under Legoshi's eyes was damp with tears. It was a pitiful visage, yet strangely beautiful. The dog could compare Legoshi to a painting based alone on the hunched position he took while crying.
"N-o, it’s fine..." The wolf shook his head and seemed to calm down at least a bit as he suddenly became aware that Jack was embracing him. "I told you, I always get like this with sad movies." The wolf's tone was apologetic.
"And yet you love them all the same." Jack cooed as he gently brushed his hands around his friend's thick coat. "A bit of a masochist, if I might add."
Legoshi mumbled something about "I'm not a masochist" as he relaxed into his roommate's touch. They both became suddenly aware of being extremely close to one another. And yet neither made any move to change their position. Legoshi was unbelievably warm, he was acting like a makeshift radiator for the freezing dog. He finally allowed himself to relax into Jack's touch as the dog seized this opportunity to shimmy closer to the wolf, so they were pressed flushed to each other.
Jack continued to idly run his hands through Legoshi's fur. It was obvious the shampoo the wolf was using is expensive since it left his fur unbelievably soft, and yet he could feel the powerful muscles that strained beneath the thick coat of fur. It was still unfathomable to the Labrador how can such a perfect beast be his ancestor. When he thought about it, they had only a few things in common.
A pleased hum coming from the wolf allowed Jack to grow bolder, and slip his hand underneath his friend's shirt. Just so that he can pet him better, the dog reasoned. The only indication that Legoshi noticed was a slight hitch in his breathing, which was quickly followed by relaxation into Jack's touch.
"I'm glad that you stayed, during the holidays, I mean." The wolf began, "I missed spending time with you." Legoshi's tone was hushed, and his eyelids half-closed.
The movie credits finished rolling and the TV switched itself off. The room was enveloped in darkness but the eyes of the two animals adjusted quickly to it.
Jack was taken aback by his friend's compliment. The wolf was disarmingly honest when it came to everything. It made something blossom in the Labrador's chest and his face heated up. He was annoyed that the animal had such an effect on him. If Legoshi could make him flustered, he was going to even the odds. "Did the big bad wolf miss his best friend that much?" The Labrador sang quietly which earned him a scoff from the wolf. "Or perhaps, you just need someone to pet you." Jack underlined his last sentence with a quick scratch on the wolf's tummy.
"That tickles." The wolf gave a faint smile, but made no further attempts to dissuade the Labrador.
He had been playing with the wolf's fur for a couple of minutes now, and his friend seemed to enjoy it. Jack wasn't sure what came over him, perhaps it was his way of gaining some leverage over his larger and stronger friend but felt an unshakable urge to tease Legoshi.
"You sure like to be pet Legoshi. You're just like a pup," Jack whispered into his friend's ear. He felt the wolf freeze in his touch, suddenly coiled like spring yet again.
"I'm not a puppy..." Legoshi pouted, "It's just — most people don't really touch me, is all." The wolf's voice broke down at the end of his sentence which made Jack's heart sink. He felt guilty for not spending enough time with Legoshi, it must have been hard for him — being feared by most herbivores in school and his fellow carnivores rough handling him. Jack swore he was going to pamper his friend from now on.
"Have no worries, I'll make sure you'll get all the pets you need from now on," Jack said as he continued to stroke his friend's belly and allowed his other hand to roam his chest. The wolf whimpered a faint "you don't have to..." but didn’t move away from his friend's touch.
The Labrador had to admit he was getting too much into it. The approving noises coming from Legoshi were going straight to his canine brain. And tightness in his shorts was anything to go by, he still was very much attracted to his wolf friend. If Legoshi noticed, he didn't say anything.
Jack was suddenly hyper-aware of the situation he found himself in. He was feeling up his crush and the other was not hating it. Preposterous. Having such a big animal not shy away from his touch, but instead, actively pursue it inflated the Labrador's ego. Such a deadly carnivore acting like a harmless pup just because he was rubbing his belly. It was intoxicating.
Rex, he was fucked up.
Not wanting to lose the momentum and feeling emboldened by the sudden shift in paradigm he had discovered, Jack decided to test some boundaries. "You know, you're extremely cute right now" The dog's tone was light and playful. If only Leogshi knew how hard the Labrador was trying to keep it all together.
The compliment was too much for the wolf to notice any hesitation coming from the yellow animal. "Wh-what? No — Jack I'm not..." The wolf's head turned, as he was trying to meet the gaze of his friend. From the way his own heart was beating, Jack was sure he would crack under the pressure of being eye to eye with his friend. So he just kept stroking his belly, slowly inching his hand close to his hip bones.
"You're extremely cute like this, actually." The animal punctuated his words by tracing his fingers down the wolf's hips. Jack was aware of every shift and movement of Legoshi. The pelt was thinner there, and the wolf's pulse could be felt in the faint veins that lay underneath his furry exterior. Maybe it was time to put a stop to this, his breathing was getting heavier and the tightness in his pants was painful. Jack reasoned he was probably losing his mind, so he kept going anyway, as an experiment.
"What are you doing Jack?" The wolf's voice was barely a whisper. His muscles tensed and relaxed as the Labrador's hand moved through his fur. Jack was playing with the seams of the wolf's pants, which were now the only thing that was stopping the interaction from going further south.
Jack was only half aware when the words left his lips.
"Maybe you'd like it better if you took these off," Jack whispered in his friend's ear.
The wolf froze completely upon hearing those words. His breathing hitched. Maybe he went too far and allowed his body to govern his actions, Jack worried. The Labrador's heartbeat was ringing in his ears and he reasoned that if he ran now, he could be in another country by next week.
Without much warning the wolf nudged the fabric down and awkwardly flapped his legs around for a bit to get rid of them, remaining only in his boxers. Jack’s laughter was barely stifled by the fact that his heart was threatening to burst through his chest.
Oh.
The dog could see his friend was blushing. Judging from the heat he felt climb up throughout his body and up to the face, he wasn't fairing any better.
"Is-is that okay?" The wolf asked. His tone reminded Jack of their childhood nights when they used to sneak around and do things they were not allowed to. It was bordering excitement and fear and Jack couldn't name a better duo to describe what he was feeling right now.
"I don't know... I never thought I'd get this far, to be honest." The Labrador snorted. "Maybe you could take your shirt off as well?" They've gotten this far, might as well not be coy about it.
The wolf nodded and grabbed the hem of the clothing in question. What should have been a swift movement, was unceremoniously stopped by the fabric latching to Legoshi's snout. "Ow!"
Jack was barely holding it together and laughed as his friend fought his shirt up. When it was finally free, the animal tossed it off unceremoniously on the floor. The air was less tense now and he could feel Legoshi relax as well. Whatever they decided to do next, Jack was glad he was doing it with his best friend.
It wasn't the first time Jack saw the wolf shirtless, hell, he even saw his friend naked a bunch of times while in the showers. But this felt different, having the wolf so close to him, feeling the warmth that was emanating from his body made the Labrador shiver. The dog looked to his friend for approval before touching him again. The wolf gave a shy nod before laying back down on the mattress, pressing his body closer to Jack, and gave a lenient hum as the Labrador resumed his ministrations.
That was all the approval Jack needed. He allowed his hands to freely roam his friend's abdomen. Feeling the taut muscles underneath, while tracing long lines through it. Legoshi was stiff like a spring and Jack couldn't help but feel some fear while having one of the deadliest carnivores so close to him. All that pent-up strength and Jack was allowed to touch the beast without fear of retaliation.
All those thoughts went straight to the Labrador's crotch.
"You’re being so obedient for a wolf.” Jack chimed as he brushed his hand lower, grazing the wolf's now very obvious erection. His cheeks burned as he allowed himself to comment on Legoshi's demeanor, he was worried it might have sounded too corny. Luckily for him, the animal next to him seemed to be too lost to care or notice.
"What?" The wolf replied while shielding his face with his paw. His face was getting redder with every passing second. The wolf tensed under his touch and slipped out a tiny grunt. "I told you I'm not cute."
Jack felt drunk, he nuzzled his snout in his friend's shoulder blades as he inhaled his scent. "Yes, you are Legoshi, the prettiest animal in this school." Legoshi shivered as Jack gently nipped at his shoulder.
"That, that's not, AH!— true." The wolf was struggling to talk and Jack could tell by the way his chest was heaving that his friend was very worked up.
Seeing Legoshi act so shy was incredibly sweet. He took a moment to brush his hand through the damp patches of fur that were formed because of the animal's tears. "Maybe you’re just turning deaf” Jack cooed, "Or maybe you're just that eager to hear me repeat myself." The wolf gave another wine, but a smile never left his lips.
"That's not true Jack, you're one of the prettiest animals I've ever seen." It was Jack's turn to blush now. The wolf be damned! with his plain compliments, they were doing more work than any teasing the Labrador could ever do. Still, he wasn't going to let him off the hook that easily.
"One of?" Jack's tone was a mock surprise. "Pray tell me, my pretty wolf, who are the other animals that are so pretty they managed to catch your attention." Jack expected his question to remain a rhetorical one, but the big dummy had the audacity to look for an answer through his hums of pleasure.
"You know – you are very cute and extremely yellow," Jack failed to see how being extremely yellow was a desirable trait but decided to see where the wolf was going with it. "There's no one that's quite like you." The wolf said and seemed to be satisfied to end the conversation there.
Jack was having none of it, he was curious to see who those other animals were.
He gently ran his fingers over the wolf's erection which caused Legoshi to seize up again and fight back what Jack assumed was a moan. "Are you sure you don't want to tell me?" the Labrador gave weight to his words by removing both hands from the wolf's body to Legoshi's displeasure.
Legoshi let out a disapproving noise but quickly relented to his friend's question. "You know... I suppose Louis could be considered pretty." Jack did not fail to notice the way the wolf choked on the stag's name. As if he was feeling the Labrador's suspicions he quickly added, "That's what everyone in school says anyway."
The Labrador didn't expect his friend's comment to have the effect that it had, but he felt his heart seize up at the mention of the stag. Is his friend attracted to that herbivore? Jack felt that ugly side of him, the one that deals in jealousy and misery rear its ugly head. He'll be damned if he left the wolf thing about another animal while they laid in the same bed. Using the courage that spurred from these feelings, Jack grabbed Legoshi's member through his boxers and squeezed gently.
The noise Legoshi made was both a whine and a moan. "J-jack?"
The Labrador leveraged their position and took advantage of the fact that the wolf could not see his blush. "What's wrong?" Jack tried to keep his tone as what he assumed would be sultry but failed since his voice cracked. His friend was too busy rutting against his hand to care, however.
The wolf's eyes were glassy. "Jack please, Rex." It was very unusual for the Labrador to see his usually very unexpressive friend be so vocal. "Please, I want..."
Jack couldn't contain his arousal as he licked a long stripe from the wolf's neck to his ear. He was rewarded with an embarrassing moan from Legoshi and a very uncomfortable pressure in his boxers. Jack couldn't believe he was doing this with his best friend. This was better than any shameful fantasy he ever had and was probably too good to be true.
"Please touch me..." The wolf shuddered which made Jack's cock pulse in his boxers. Rex, there wasn't any going back to anything less than this.
The Labrador tried to think of a smart quip he could add or anything to tease the wolf with but found his mouth too dry to be able to form any words. He could do this, he was the Rexdamned valedictorian of this school. Deciding that actions were worth more than any words at this point, he dragged the wolf's boxers down. Jack knew it was big, wolves were well endowed and that wasn't any secret. But the thing that was in front of him was ridiculous. Could Jack even handle something like that? His worried was short-lived however as a needy sound coming from his friend was enough of a reason to grab the base of Legoshi's cock and give a practice slow stroke.
The wolf moaned into his hands, clearly embarrassed by his reactions. This went straight to Jack's head.
"Rex Legoshi, I love the sounds you are making, "Jack praised his friend which earned him another shudder. He gave low strokes starting from the wolf's knot up to his tip and back, the same way he did to himself. Jack had to admit, it was more difficult doing the same thing to someone else than to yourself. The noises his friend was making were well worth it, however. Underneath his smug exterior Jack was freaking out, he never felt as horny in his life. This all felt wrong, talking to Legoshi like that, felt so unlike him. Sure, he could be sarcastic and was observant enough to be considered at least mildly funny. The feeling was new but quickly became intoxicating. Holding so much power over someone he deemed superior to him was without any doubt enchanting.
Jack spent some time adjusting to the feeling of having his friend's cock in his hands. He traced the shape of it with his fingers using his nails to lightly scratch along the shaft which earned him another whine from the wolf. "So needy..." Jack gave the wolf another peck on his neck as he continued to break the wolf apart slowly but surely.
The Labrador kept on his languid stroking, using the precum the wolf was leaking to spread it all over his shaft. "Do you want me to go faster Legoshi?" His friend gave a desperate nod as he tried to guide his friend's hands to move faster.
Usually, he imagined he would be eager to have his partner cum as fast as possible, and briefly considered giving Legoshi the pleasure he was seeking. The conversation about Louis came to mind however and the Labrador decided he was not yet ready to give up these feelings of power.
Jack didn't want Legoshi's big wolf hands to ruin the pace he set so letting out disapproving tsks, he stopped stroking the wolf altogether. This was immediately followed by a confused sound coming from Legoshi that bordered between a whine and a growl.
"I don't want you touching yourself while I have my hand on your p-penis." Jack cursed himself for his inability to say cock. Jack felt half of his authority fly out the window. Legoshi snorted but was quick to shut up when Jack pumped his dick a couple of times in quick succession. "Hands behind your head." The dog ordered, surprising himself with how authoritative he sounded.
Legoshi whined but gave no further disapproval as he clasped his fingers together and dug his claws in the fur on the back of his head.
The display was unfathomably erotic for the Labrador. Seeing his friend execute his orders pushed some buttons he didn't know he had. "Good boy!" Jack's tone was airy and soft. The reaction was immediate, the wolf gave an embarrassingly wild moan and bucked his hips into the Labrador's hand. "My good boy," Jack nipped at the wolf's shoulder as he increased the pace of his stroking. He could feel the pulsing in the other's member. The sensation in his pants was becoming overbearing, but he was determined to give Legoshi the best he could before doing anything else. Still, he relished the pressure the wolf's ass was applying to his d–penis. REX DAMMIT.
"J-jack, I'm very close." The wolf was barely speaking now, his eyes were glassy, and Jack could feel that with every stroke his member pulsed harder and harder. The Labrador was very close to just letting his friend finish, but he was not satisfied yet. Without any warning, he stopped stroking the wolf and immediately went to grab the hands that Legoshi would surely use to finish himself off. As he imagined, the wolf's reaction was immediate. He gave a pained cry and scrambled to reach a hand down to his crotch, only to be stopped by Jack who grabbed both of them with one hand, pinning them above his head and using his free hand to roughly grab the base of the wolf's knot and squeeze, hard.
The wolf's expression was one of mute shock as he fought the overwhelming sensation that came root from the bulbous bit below his member. "I said you are not allowed to touch yourself," Jack growled and was extremely surprised with himself at that. He never growled before and would have felt bad, hadn’t he been holding his best friend’s dick in his hand.
The wolf's eyes were glassy, and Jack was sure the wolf could easily break free from his grasp, yet he didn’t. "Jack...please," The wolf moaned, "I'm too sensitive, I can't..."
Jack squeezed the knot in his hand harder which prompted the wolf to shut up with a pained yelp. "Who's the most beautiful animal you've ever seen?" Jack should have been ashamed of his ego at this point, but the way Legoshi shuddered went straight to his dick and quickly removed any doubts.
"You are," Legoshi desperately answered, "Jack, please!"
Jack was toying with the idea of letting his friend suffer a bit more but was beginning to feel bad. He gave a quick peck on the wolf's cheek, and whispered in his ear "Good boy, Legoshi." While using his other hand to stroke the wolf's penis a couple more times while squeezing his knot.
The wolf shuddered in mute ecstasy as his cock began to spurt out cum. Jack kept jerking the wolf through his orgasm while whispering sweet nothings in his ear. When the wolf was starting to become too sensitive, the dog stopped and hugged him closely. As he lay next to a spent Legoshi he became aware of what just happened. "Holy shit, we just had sex." Jack blushed upon saying the word sex which was extremely funny to Legoshi. "Sure thing," the wolf slurred, "why didn't we do this sooner?" the wolf was barely audible as cuddled closer to the Labrador, taking note of his still obvious bulge.
Both animals went red, but Jack decided that after giving Legoshi the best hand job of his life, he was entitled to the next question. "Mind helping me out with this?"
The response from the wolf was enthusiastic, to say the least, Jack's pants and boxers were discarded quickly, and the dog found himself blushing in front of his friend's curious gaze. His member was fully erect and leaking while scrutinized by the wolf's shameless gaze. How the hell was Legoshi so chill about this?
"O-okay, I guess you can...hem, stroke it. Like I did to you." Jack tried to keep his authority in his voice but failed miserably. Legoshi being the eager beast that he is, grabbed hold of his friend's cock and set an unforgiving pace.
Jack had time to protest before his vision went blank in less than 10 seconds. He shot his load all over his roommate's hand who kept stroking him even after he was done cumming.
"REX Legoshi! Warn a guy, will you?" Jack said in mock anger as he grabbed for the wolf's hand and prompted him to stop.
The wolf seemed embarrassed and Jack couldn't help but kiss him on the nose as he went all red. "S-sorry, AH!, I wanted to make you feel good too." The wolf explained himself. Even though he tried to make himself look miserable, both animals couldn't contain their tails tapping against the bed.
"I did!" The Labrador smiled, "Let's get ourselves cleaned up."
