Kane was helping Avery to dry off, being careful not to look at his waist, or hurt his side. Avery was still blushing quite a bit, for obvious reasons. Kane spoke,

“So...are we what normal people call ‘official’?” Kane asked, drying Avery’s head.

“U-um...I-I-I...I guess so…” Avery stammered, getting flustered. “H-how do Therians know when it’s official?”

“Well Herbivores do a mating dance…” Kane said, wrapping the towel around Avery. “But Carnivores usually bite the shit out of each other and fuck if they feel like it.”

“O-oh…” Avery said, putting his clothes on. “That, uhh...is...a different way to do it…”

Kane put his Shirt and his stockings back on, and helped Avery out of the bathroom.

“Hey, just be glad it’s me.” Kane said, almost carrying Avery. “There’s this big Shark girl that makes any human she finds serve her like a slave. Kinda funny to watch.”

“O-oh…” Was all Avery could say. “Well, uh...what do you wanna, um...do?”

“What do you mean?” Kane asked, using his foot to scratch behind her ear.

“I-I mean it’s getting late and there’s nothing much to do by now.” Avery said, rubbing his side a little bit. “I might just go to bed.”

“Cool.” Kane said, carrying Avery to his bed. “Dibs on the left side.”

“W-wait, I thought you’d be in y-your room…” Avery stammered, blushing.

“Too cold.” Kane said, laying Avery on the bed. “And don’t be so shy, we’re ‘official’ now~”

Kane crawled into the bed and circled around under the covers a bit, so he was sort of wrapped up in half of the blanket.

“Remember when you asked what I wanted to do?” Kane asked.

“Uh...yes?” Avery responded, a little hesitantly.

“I know now~” He said, scooting closer to Avery. “I think I want you to scratch my ears.”

“I don’t know...I’m kinda tired…” Avery said, scooting back a little.

“Well we can always just wrestle.” Kane said, smirking.

“Ears it is…” Avery said, nervously, as he reached up and scratched Kane’s ears.

Kane tucked his head in towards Avery, as his tail started to wag. Avery found it funny how he acted so much like a Dog, despite being, at least, for the most part, Human. Avery was interrupted by a repeated pain in his thigh.

“K-Kane…” Avery stuttered.

“Hm?” Kane questioned, looking up at him.

“Y-you’re kicking my leg…” Avery said, wincing a bit from the pain in his thigh.

Kane pulled the blanket up, seeing that Avery now has a red mark on his thigh, slowly forming into a bruise.

“Whoops.” Kane said, laying the blanket back down. “My bad, force of habit.”

“O-oww…” Avery whimpered.

Kane didn’t look muscular and, for a Therian, he really wasn’t. However, he was still much stronger than pretty much any human. Those kicks were like 10 from a normal person all hitting at once. As Avery rubbed the bruise, Kane laid his head on Avery’s chest.

“Pet.” Kane said, a bit demandingly.

“I just pet you and you bruised my leg.” Avery replied, a bit grumpily.

“I want PETS.” Kane said. “Gimme.”

“Kane, I'm tired…” Avery said. “I just wanna go to bed…”

“Hmph. Fine.” Kane said, grumpily, as he got off his chest. “You’re such a killjoy.”

“Fine, I’m a killjoy, whatever…” Avery grumbled, rolling over to go to sleep.

As he woke up the next morning, he felt something fairly large fall on his face. As he sat up and looked down towards whatever hit his face, he saw...a chicken. He looked up at Kane, who was snickering at him.

“Kane what the hell.” Avery questioned, rubbing his eyes.

“Got a cock on your face.” Kane said, jokingly.

“Kane no-” Avery tried to sound grumpy, but he couldn’t help but snort from the joke. “Kane that’s terrible-”

“Which is why it’s funny~” Kane said, as he leaned over and kissed Avery on the cheek, making him blush brightly. “Pft...you’re so easy to tease~”

“I-I am not-” Avery said, trying to get up.

Kane laid on his lap like a dog, and just curled up.

“...You aren’t gonna let me up are you.” Avery asked.

“Nuh.” Kane said, already falling asleep.

Avery sighed and laid back down. “Figures…”
