"We should clean up and figure out what to eat." Adrian suggested as he lifted Phen into his arms bridal style and headed towards the bathroom. It had been months since his first encounter with Caspin and a few weeks since they first brought Phenner onboard. "Think we could stop at a port to buy some new clothes for Phenner and see if we can find shoes my size?"
Caspin stood on wobbly legs to follow Adrian as Phen curled into the human's broad chest with a contented sigh.
"Yeah, I was planning to hit up the next port to get more things for you and Phen." Cas admitted as he wrapped an arm around Adrian's waist and they wandered into the bathroom. "I was thinking about adding onto the ship, too. It’s pretty bare bones, which was fine when it was just me. There are some extensions I'd like to add, now that there are more of us." The Vulpan pulled away to hit the activators for the tub, holding his fingers under the water to check the temperature. They'd discovered that Phen adored very warm baths. It was adorable to see the petite rabbit sink into the hot water, ears floating around his head. Cas continued talking as he plugged the drain. "The ship is modular, so it's very easy to add onto. I messaged ahead to the port to make sure they have what we need. It's a pretty good sized place, more like a city really. Do you mind spending a day or two there while we shop and the modders fix up the ship?"
"That'd be fine." Adrian said as he carefully placed Phenner into the tub and sat down beside him. "What do think, Phen?"
Phenner sank down up to his chin and looked up at Adrian dreamily, ears floating lazily on the steaming water. "I think I love you both. I've never felt the things you make me feel." He slipped lower and blew little bubbles with his lips.
A slight blush rose to Adrian's cheeks. When he had asked, he merely meant for Phen to respond to the idea of staying at the port for about two days. He didn't quite expect for the rabbit to say such things in response.
"We love you, too," He replied as he motioned for Cas to come and help him with Phen in case the bunny fell asleep in the tub.
"We absolutely love you, Phen." Caspin slipped slowly into the stinging water with a wince, knowing he'd get used to it in a moment. He wrapped himself around the slightly dazed rabbit, keeping him from sliding further under the water. "I'm so glad you're with us."
Phenner made tiny, content humming noises as he cuddled into Caspin to kiss his neck and laid his head on his shoulder. The Vulpan smiled softly, smitten with the sweet-natured bunny. Adrian couldn't help but smile at the scene. If he’d ever had any doubts about bringing Phen along with them, it was long gone by that point. He shifted behind them both and began to wash both their backs.

Adrian had shown considerable interest in learning more about piloting and about the ship in general, and he had shown quite an aptitude for it. The port was a few days away and the human spent most of his free time practicing at the controls. When they reached the port, Adrian was prepared. He'd practiced docking sequences as much as possible and had written notes for himself. Caspin had set up the computer to automatically correct any errors Adrian might make during approach, dock, and seal. However, Cas really didn't think he needed it. The soccer player seemed to have things figured out.
That left Caspin and Phenner time to play.
One of their favorite things, besides sex, was chasing each other in their animal forms. They wrestled and played tag. Caspin had never experienced anything like it. It was amazing to him, being able to spend so much time in his fox form and to have someone to share it with, even enjoy it with. It amazed him. He loved it. Sometimes, though, when they were playing chase, Caspin would get a bit overexcited. There was still a little bit of a hunter in the fox, and streaking down the halls after the bunny got his blood up.
When he would finally catch Phen, he sometimes couldn't contain himself. He'd leap on the rabbit's back, draping himself over Phenner. His tail would poof out as he nipped at the back of the rabbit's neck. Phen always seemed to welcome the attention, dropping his furry head so Caspin could easily reach the back of his neck. It made Caspin feel shy and embarrassed, though, like he was doing something wrong. The few times Adrian had happened upon them in that position, Caspin had practically flown off the rabbit's back, leaping away to put distance between them.
As Adrian made his approach to dock, his two furry shipmates were in the midst of another game of tag. Whenever Phenner got tagged, he would leap wildly into the air, kicking out his back legs. It made Adrian laugh every time. The human was so intent on piloting that Cas had nearly forgotten he was there. The human was certainly not on his mind when he finally caught the rabbit after an intense chase around several consoles. In his excitement, Caspin dove onto Phen's back and bit the back of his neck, careful not to break the skin. The Vulpan growled excitedly as Phen arched his back under him and lowered his head.
When Adrian finished the docking procedures, he caught his two favorite short ones in their animal forms and in quite the compromising position. He heard Caspin's little growl and a devious smirk formed on his face as he neared them. "Go for it, Cas," He urged him. "You won't hurt him."
Caspin squeaked and threw himself off Phen like he was on fire. He tore across the room, shifting to his regular form when he reached the door.
His face was red and he was panting as he spoke. "Hey, we'd better get ready to go. I need to check in with the mod team for the ship before we go shopping." He slipped out the door. "I'm going to go get dressed."
The bunny hopped over to Adrian and nuzzled his ankle.
Adrian placed his hands on his hips and shook his head. It seemed as if he would have to wait a little longer before Caspin was comfortable enough to act on those animal instincts. He stooped down to pick Phenner up into his arms, petting and scratching him all over. "Don't worry, Phen. I'll get him to come around eventually." He mused out loud. "I'd very much like to see the two of you go at it in your spirit forms."
Phenner licked the man's wrist and snuggled deeper into his arms. Phen had discovered he loved being carried. It made him feel loved and cared for. He also enjoyed sitting in Adrian's lap to be petted and scratched. The human never lost his patience with Phenner or pushed him away. Sometimes, the bunny fell asleep sprawled across the soccer player's warm, strong thighs.
The pair followed behind the fleeing Vulpan. When they reached their room, Caspin was already half-dressed in loose pants that hung low on his hips and held an emerald shirt that matched his eyes.
"Caspin, there is no need to feel embarrassed about anything with us. You know that, don't you?" Adrian insisted as they approached. "I'm sure Phen would want nothing more than to feel you inside him in your other forms."
Caspin crushed the soft shirt in his hands. "I think I have some clothes that will fit Phen," he said much louder than necessary.
Adrian carefully placed Phen on the bed and took hold of both of Caspin's hands. "Love, listen to me. You need to stop being ashamed of your other form. Phenner and I both delight in it...especially me. Seeing the two of you in your other forms brings me great joy. And when you get all eager and primal pinning Phen down...when you decide to go at it, I just want to be there to see it."
"You don't think it's wrong?" Cas peeked up at his mate through his fringe. "Dirty?"
Phenner thumped his back foot in displeasure at Caspin's words.
"Dirty? Yes. Very, very dirty," Adrian purred, a lustful glint in his periwinkle eyes. "But wrong? No. Not in the slightest."
Caspin flushed pink and felt his rod plump in his pants. "I-I'll think about it."
There was a pop and a rather excited and very naked Phenner was standing before them. He sidled up to Caspin, wrapping his arms around the fox. "I don't think it's wrong either," the rabbit whispered.
Caspin's face burned. He nodded shyly.
Phenner hopped over to plop onto the bed. "You have clothes for me?"
The rabbit ended up in a long-sleeved top with many zippered pockets and a knee-length kilt Cas had forgotten was even in there. It was fun to watch Phenner gape wide-eyed at everything as they entered the port. Caspin kept them out of reach of any aliens that looked too interested in the cute wide-eyed rabbit or the buff human.
Adrian was getting a little more used to the different ports as they continued to explore them. Though he didn't find shoes that were like the ones from Earth, he did find some interesting material that expanded and contracted to the size of anyone's feet comfortably. He also began to recognize certain foods he liked and pointed them out to Caspin for them to buy.

As the trio walked along the market, high above them and plastered to the wall of a building, was a young moth man. Falorios had lived on his own for the majority of his life. He had a great-aunt that he was grateful towards for having raised him when his parents were killed during a turf war. But, the old monarch butterfly drew her last breath when he turned thirteen. He learned to sell what little assets he had, including his body, on the streets. At least, until the mafia got wind of how versatile he was at hiding. Being the mafia's “messenger boy” suited him just fine. He never really questioned the packages he ferried back and forth. And, in turn, the Maivit mafia never questioned how he was able to make his deliveries so quickly.
The young man kept his wings curled up and hidden beneath his clothes at all times except for when he had to make a quick get-away. He also kept his antennae hidden beneath a fedora so that he passed for any other species except for what he truly was. The less the mafia knew about him, the better. And that was the only reason he was getting ready to defy them. Most of the “packages” he had delivered had involved delivery of objects. Though he didn't see what was in them, he could feel that they were either objects or money whenever he shook them.
That time, however, they wanted him to deliver a six-year old boy to a whorehouse that had no decent rules or boundaries set in place to protect their own. Rios had heard of the horrors that went on behind closed doors. Some of the workers were raped and murdered, and then raped as corpses once again. He just couldn't stomach the thought of something bad happening to such a tiny kid.
Naturally, he handed the kid over to a pair of enforcers that he trusted and told them to find him a home on an actual planet. Unfortunately, the Maivit mafia’s smaller goons realized that Falorios had failed in his delivery far sooner than he had expected. So, he had to escape the dock as soon as possible.
The moth’s golden brown eyes peered up and Rios jumped up to take hold of the edge of the roof of the building to pull himself up. Once he was on top of the platform, he rushed over to the edge and unfurled his magnificent wings. They were a pale green that nearly glowed at night. They were as wide as he was tall. He silently flapped them once and then dove off the building to glide over the marketplace. He landed on a ship that was neither rich in appearance nor a junk heap. He could only hope that the owners weren't assassins or, worse, part of a mafia from another region. In any case, he hacked the controls to the hangar and snuck his way inside.
