A few days after his university’s graduation ceremony, Aleks returned to his galaxy. Now that his studies were completed, he wasn’t sure what to do. He looked over to his nightstand and saw the scrap of paper Tobias left behind. He desperately wanted to call his number, but he wasn’t sure what to say.

	He stopped his foolish hesitating and dialed the number written in blue ink at the bottom. After a few short rings, Tobias picked up. “Hey, I didn’t think you’d ever call. Why don’t you come visit me? I’ve been staying at a hotel.” He said and gave him his hotel’s address.

	Aleks hung up and left his family’s empty home late at night. Nobody besides him knew that his parents had abandoned him and their home years ago. He’d lived there alone since he was seven, no family or friends to keep him company. Sometimes at night he wondered what they were up to. Probably doing experiments on the other side of the universe.

	He pulled out his phone and hired a taxi to take him across the city to the Ivory Bay Hotel. In a minute, one arrived in a flash and opened its door for him. He got in and flew above the city to his destination. 

	Along the ride, he read a news report about space captain Julian of Wolf Talon Co. rescuing him and Tobias from planet x-159. Surprisingly, Julian didn’t take all of the credit for himself. He claimed to be in the right place at the right time, and left it at that.

Five minutes later, his taxi descended to the streets below and let him out. He got out and entered an elevator in the hotel’s lobby. Tobias was high up on floor 11. Outside, he observed the sights of the city while the glass elevator quickly ascended. For a now homeless man, Tobias was apparently well off enough to not sleep in a rundown motel.

	The elevator dinged and he set out to find Tobias’s room. Room 1109. He found it and stood outside it nervously. It’s been days since they last spoke, and the last thing he’d said to him was “You would’ve done the same thing if you weren’t stupid.” He got over his feelings of guilt and nervousness and knocked.

	The door opened with a well-pampered Tobias in its entry. “Aleks, man. What’s up? Come on in.” Tobias said and got out of the way.

	Aleks walked inside and observed Tobias’s hotel room. Dirty clothes littered the floors, both large beds were unmade, and snack wrappers and beer bottles cluttered the table. He looked back at Tobias and complained. “You’re disgusting.” He said. At least his ship was in better condition before the crash.

	Tobias shrugged and rolled his eyes at him. “Eh, I don’t care. I’ve been too busy with job hunting.” He said. Now that Aleks was here, he started cleaning up for him. He picked up a handful of dirty clothes and took it to the hamper. Before dumping it in, he took a few subtle sniffs. To his relief, it all smelled like his cheap cologne and a little bit of musk.

	“Speaking of jobs,” Tobias continued speaking, “are you going to look for one, Mr. Graduate?” Given Aleks’s new credentials, his options would be endless. 

	Aleks thought for a few seconds. “No. But I can always get letters of recommendations from my dean and my professors if the need arises.” He said. Graduating at the top of your classes had its perks. The only thing he’d thought of doing after university is interning at a science lab. Hopefully one in another galaxy. A brand-new start.

	Tobias threw the last of his clothes into the hamper. He looked at him with a mixture of shock and envy. “I-Is that so? Lucky guy…” He said. The last time he got a proper job, it was after his mother pressured his cousin, Lucky, into recommending him. He was fired within a week after a ship he maintained suffered a hull rupture in space.

	Millions of credits in shipments were lost after the crew was forced to jettison out in escape pods. He was glad to hear that nobody got hurt, but even happier to hear that he wasn’t on the hook for paying back their losses… They still made sure to blacklist him in the industry, though.

Since Aleks arrived, all he’d done is clean up and talk about their occupation prospects. It was time for him to move things along. The studious boy obviously wasn’t here to talk about life over coffee and pastries. Tobias pretended to kick him out. “Well, it was nice to see you after all these days. It’s getting kinda late.” He said and walked Aleks over to his front door.

	Aleks stood there silently, ready to say something, but unable to. He instead decided maybe it was time to leave. “Yes, well, I suppose you’re right.” He said and opened the door.

	“Unless…” Tobias said. Aleks looked back at him with his ears perking. “If you came over here for something else, I guess you could stay a little longer.” He said and smirked at him slyly. With his rod cast, all that was left was for Aleks to take the bait.

	Now was his chance to get closer to Tobias. “Well,” he scratched his fluffy white cheek shyly, “I could use a few more lessons in mating. If you wouldn’t mind.” He said. The last time he was alone with him opened new feelings that he wanted to explore.

	Tobias got the answer he wanted. For a little fun, he teased him. “So, what you’re saying is you want me to fuck you?” He asked.

	Aleks looked at him grumpily. He didn’t like foul language like that. It was beneath him. “You don’t have to put it crudely like that. But yes, I suppose.” He said.

Tobias peered his head outside his hotel room and looked left and right a few times. Once he was sure that no one saw Aleks go in, he closed the door and locked it tight. He picked him up in his arms. For his age he was light for a kitten.

	“W-What are you doing!? Put me down at once!” Aleks hissed and complained. Was this a normal part of sex? He wasn’t sure, but being cradled in Tobias’s muscular arms made his heart race. If his memory was correct, he’d be placed on the bed, stripped, and mated with. That thought also made a certain part of his body react.

	Tobias playfully tossed Aleks onto one of his beds and crossed his arms. “Stop complaining for once. Now, take your clothes off.” He said. He was into control now and he was enjoying it.

	Aleks nervously took off his shirt, shorts, and underwear. He folded them neatly and placed them on the floor below. “I’m keeping my glasses on. Now what?” He asked. Even though this wasn’t his first time being naked with him, undressing for another person still made him a little embarrassed.

	Tobias pulled out his phone and pointed it at him. “Do a few poses for me.” He said. He took a few pictures of him sitting on the bed.

	“Why do you want pictures of me?” Aleks asked him with an unamused expression on his face. In all of his books, there were no cameras in any of them. Although, someone had to record the sex poses for his sex ed books…

	“Really, you don’t know? Everyone keeps pictures of people they’ve mated with.” Tobias said. He was certain that a mediocre fib like that would work on him.

	Aleks rolled his eyes and blushed. “Fine.” He said. He performed a few poses he saw in a pornographic magazine he rented for studying. 

	He lifted his leg high so Tobias had a good view of his genitals. Snap. Next, he got onto his knees and stroked his small prick while looking at the camera. Snap. For the last pose, he got on all fours, faced away from the camera, and showed off his ass. Snap.

With his perverted desires satisfied, Tobias put away his phone and stripped naked as well. He got onto the bed with him and started cuddling. “We took some great pictures. You’re hot.” He said. He snuggled with him more and started to reach down for his crotch.

	Luck had been on his side recently. Not only did he narrowly survive a crash landing on a terrestrial planet, but he managed to get a cub boyfriend out of it. A cute cub he could teach everything he knew about sex. His spaceship may have plummeted into a planet, but his love for Aleks was just starting to skyrocket.
