Spooky Anniversary!
By: Mikolai 

The autumn night was crisp and cool, with a gentle breeze caressing the streets of Oakwood. The air was thick with the scent of pumpkin spice and cinnamon, hinting at the festive season upon them. People in the neighborhood finished their decorations before the fun and games began. Kai, a 13-year-old slim male rabbit with light grey fur, purple eyes, and short black hair, approached his best friend’s house. Lucky for him, he lived in the same neighborhood. Only a ten-minute walk to each other’s houses.
It was Halloween; Kai was excited to spend the night with his best friend. Kai had been looking forward to this night for weeks, not just because of the amazing costumes and copious amounts of candy but because Leo’s parents had just finished remodeling their basement. Now, it is one giant bedroom for Leo. As his friend said, he even has a private bathroom, too.  
As he approached Leo’s house, Kai adjusted his ghoul costume, ensuring the fake blood and ripped clothing were in place. The rabbit had spent hours after school getting it right. Kai took a deep breath and then rang the doorbell, anxiously waiting. After a moment, the door opened to reveal Leo’s mom, Sandy, a 40-year-old female lion.
“Kai! So good to see you, dear. Nice costume! Come on in!” She ushered him inside the cozy suburban home.
“Thanks, Mrs. Baker!” Kai said as he went inside. Now, the rabbit’s family isn’t poor by any means, as the neighborhood his family lived in was for rich people. But Leo’s family put everyone else’s wealth to shame, with his friend's inventor father and high-power lawyer mother having more money than anyone he knew. Their house is the talk of the town, and it showed with all the fancy furniture, paintings, and other expensive stuff from the first floor, second floor, and probably now the basement, too. 
As Kai entered, he noticed something different about the door leading to the basement. The old door had been replaced with a rustic mahogany wood door with a dragon emblem engraved on it. His curiosity piqued, and he descended the plush carpeted stairs.  
At the bottom, he stopped short, eyes wide. The usually crowded space had transformed from a formerly dank basement. Gone was the aged wood paneling and musty smell. In its place was a spacious bedroom suite fit for a teen prince. The walls are painted soothing gray. A king-sized bed sat atop a rich hardwood floor piled high with pillows. Shelves lined the walls with video games, books, manga, and figures from video games and movie characters. A giant flat-screen TV was mounted on the wall opposite of the bed, and there was an entertainment center with the newest consoles.
Kai is astonished to see everything on the walls, from posters of video games and horror movies to the desk with a gaming desktop and colossal monitor. Can anyone blame the bunny for being slightly jealous of his friend? Sure, his bedroom isn’t bad, but all he can have are books and scientific journals. No TV or game consoles are permitted in his house.
The bathroom door was slightly ajar in a corner, light spilling out. Kai thought Leo must still be in there getting ready. He sat his backpack near the bed and pulled out a wrapped present. He had spent weeks searching for and saving his allowance, picking out the perfect gift for his best friend: an ultra-rare collectible figure from their favorite video game series. Excited to surprise Leo, Kai hid the gift under the desk. 
The bunny returned to examining the big room, looking at all the figures, trying to figure out what movie or video game they were from. Lost in admiration, Kai nearly jumped out of his skin when a voice called out behind him. "Boo!"
He whipped around to see his best friend grinning from ear to ear. Leo, a 13-year-old male lion with light brown fur, green eyes, and crimson red hair, stood behind the boy. Kai took a moment to catch his breath, then laughed and gently punched Leo in the arm. He noticed that Leo was dressed as a necromancer from the very same video game they love. His tall, athletic frame was clad in flowing black robes with intricated silver details. A wicked-looking staff was clutched in one hand. Kai felt slightly self-conscious in his ragged ghoul costume beside Leo’s elaborate getup.
“Man, you almost made me piss myself. Hehe… Wow, Leo, your costume is so on point! You look just like Garest from Carnage II.” Kai exclaimed, unable to stop examining all the small details on his friend’s costume. “I’m just a dorky ghoul next to you,” Kai said, trying not to sound sad. He regrets not spending more time on his costume.
“You look great,” Leo said, eyes twinkling behind black eyeliner and shadow. The lion gives the bunny a pat on the back to cheer him up, which works as always when these two hang out with each other.
“Ready to have some fun?” Leo asks as he goes to grab a bag. Kai nods at the lion's question. The boys bounded upstairs and out into the crisp night air, holding plastic bags. They crisscrossed the neighborhood from house to house, their costumes earning them double the treats and many admiring glances.
They hung out with friends for a while as they continued their quest for unlimited candy. They laughed, joked, ate some candy, and had playful jostles that filled the air as they enjoyed the magical atmosphere of Halloween. The boys had a blast as the night went on, and their bags grew heavy with candy. Finally, as the moon glowed brightly in the cloudless sky and the neighborhood grew quiet, the boys returned to Leo's house.
They made their way back to Leo’s bedroom to sort out their spoils. Leo’s mom had left them a note in the kitchen – ‘I’m giving you boys some privacy tonight! Your dad and I are going to be at a friend's house. Don’t expect us back anytime soon. Love Mom and Dad!’
Leo’s cheek flushed at the casual acknowledgment that his parents knew of their relationship. The boys did not know if it would be serious until recently, which is why they kept it to themselves. Leo glanced at Kai and saw his rosy cheeks mirror him. Chest fluttering, the boys smiled at each other as they held each other’s hand while going downstairs.
The lion and rabbit lay their bag full of candy on the bed, spilling their loot onto the bed. Then they kicked off their shoes as Leo put his staff away. Leo begins playing a video game while Kai watches him.
“Wow, I still can't believe your parents did this for you,” Kai said as he sat on the bed.
“Awesome, right? It was my birthday present when I turned 13 years old a few months back. You need to see my bathroom and walk-in closet. It will blow your mind.” Leo explains everything his parents did for him.
“Hehe… Later, when I need to use it.” Kai started eating his candy stash as Leo sat beside him. They spent the next hour playing video games, snacking on candy, hanging out, and chatting. They were silent only for a moment but soon broken by occasional laughter. 
“How is your older brother doing at Veridale Academy? Didn’t you say they paid a fortune for him to attend?” Leo asks as he is playing ‘Dying Screams,’ where the goal is to have the characters survive a serial killer hunting them.
“I talked to him the other day; he is happy. Mostly because Dad and Mom are no longer nagging at him every minute.” Kai is still eating his junk food. He found a few bags of homemade chocolate chip cookies and enjoyed them.
“Hey, have you heard from your older sister? I bet she is pissed that you got this huge bedroom.” Kai says as he winches at seeing a character get their head ripped off by the serial killer in the game.
“Nah, not since my parents cut her off eight months ago. You should hear my Dad when he talks about her. No way he is paying her bills anymore after she dropped out of college to go ‘find herself.’” Leo groans at seeing another character dying. 
“Hehe… What does she mean by finding herself?” Kai asked as he wondered why Leo’s older sister was so weird.
“Fuck if I know. She is a dumbass! All she had to do was get her degree. Hell, any degree will make my parents happy. Yet, she drops out and wonders why they will not support her traveling around the world.” Leo said as he laid his controller down. Another character had died, and it was game over for him. 
Leo switched the conversation to something else, like the new horror movie coming out next month. The boys talked for hours without realizing it. The feline looks at his clock to see it is 1 am. Leo gulps as he is nervous, even though they both agree it is time to take the next step last week at school. He only hoped he wasn’t making a big mistake.
Yawning, Leo stretched and stood up. “I’m going to hop in the shower before bed. Want to join me? It's big for both of us.” He glanced at Kai with a playful grin as he walked to the bathroom. 
Kai froze, his heart stuttering at the very thoughts in his mind. Go in the shower with Leo? His mind flashed through all the scenarios his teenage hormones loved to conjure up or the pornos he watched of steamy showers and slick bodies and…
“U-uh sure, yeah!” Kai stood up quickly, trying to play it off cool even as his palms began to sweat under his costume gloves. “I mean if you don’t mind. I’m kind of sticky from all the candy we ate.” Kai laughs, trying not to overthink what is happening.
Leo just shrugged; he removed his robe and shirt and threw them on the floor. Revealing a strip of toned stomach. “Knock yourself out. I’ll be waiting for you.” In one fluent motion, the lion takes off his pants and underwear before he steps into the bathroom. Only glancing back with a mischievous smile at the bunny.
Promptly, the rabbit hears the shower being turned on. Kai did not need any more motivation as he started to strip off his costume, exposing his slim body and his erection. But Kai did not care as he quickly got into the bathroom. Leo was not lying when he said his parents went all out. Even the bathroom was fancy as hell, with an oversized glass-standing shower. Steam is filling the bathroom already.
The rabbit gulps, but first, he needs to do something. He goes over to the sink to wash his face first. Kai did not want the makeup to wash into his eyes later. A minute later, Kai opens the door and enters the shower before closing it. The sight of Leo naked with his big flaccid cock swinging freely made Kai’s mouth go dry. “Holy shit Leo, you’re…”
“Yeah, I know. Runs in the family. Hehe…” Leo cut him off with a smirk, his eyes dark and heated as they examined each other’s bodies. “And you're pretty cute yourself. Damn, I wish we did this sooner.” Kai’s breath hitched as he realized Leo was looking at him, really looking at him, with interest. With want! 
Bolder now, Kai reached out to trail his fingers down Leo’s chest, over his abs. “Can I…?”
Leo shivered, getting goosebumps from the bunny's touch, and captured Kai’s wrist. “You can do anything you want to me.” He drew Kai close and kissed him as the warm water fell on their naked bodies.
Their first kiss was slow and sweet, a tentative brush of lips. But as Kai responded eagerly, Leo groaned and deepened it, his tongue sliding against Kai’s lips. Too soon, they broke their kiss to catch their breath. Then, the boys went right back to kissing. Kai pushed his tongue into the feline’s mouth. Both boys take turns on who dominates the other as they kiss.
The boys did not waste any time exploring each other’s bodies, their hands roaming and caressing as the years of pent-up longing poured out. Their cocks became semi-hard from the excitement.
Time flew by as they kissed and washed up. They continued to make out until the water turned cold, cooling the boys off. Finally, breaking apart, they stared at each other with hearts pounding. 
“I’ve wanted to do that for so long,” Leo admitted breathlessly.
“Me too,” Kai said, twining their fingers together under the spray. “I’m so glad I followed you, " the bunny said as he stared into the feline’s beautiful eyes. Leo smiled and leaned in for another kiss, slower this time, savoring the taste and feel of Kai’s lips. 
“Let’s get out of here,” Leo said as he opened the door, leading Kai out with him. The feline walks to the end of the bathroom to another door. Leo opens it to reveal a massive closet and grabs two towels. Kai takes a towel from Leo and then begins to dry himself off.
“Wait, is that what I think it is?” Kai asked, but the bunny rushed to the closet before Leo could answer. Inside was a closet that rivaled a luxury boutique store. Rows of neatly hung shirts, pants, and jackets filled the space. Ties and belts were arranged on the wall racks. Shelves for folded items and storage cubes held pairs of expensive-looking sneakers. Kai turned back to Leo with a huge grin.
“This is amazing! I cannot believe your parents did all this for your birthday present. Shit, next thing you know, they will be buying you a Ferrari when you turn 16.” Kai said as he wrapped the towel around his waist. He then started exploring the closet to find jewelry he had not seen yet. He did not know much about that type of stuff other than that it looked expensive.
Leo nodded; his eyes sparkling as he finished drying off his body. “Yeah, it's amazing, I know. They wanted me to have my own space. And best of all, you’ve got a couple of presents in hiding spots here. Go find them!” The feline tosses the towel into a hamper, not shy to be fully naked.  
Kai quickly scanned the closet. It took some time as he inspected the shelves with his hands going underneath the pants and shirts. There! Feeling around under a folded stack of jeans, his fingers brushed something smooth and hard. He triumphantly tugged out a sleek silver-wrapped box. Kai’s heart raced as he made his way back to Leo.
“Is this it? I cannot believe you got me a gift.” He said breathlessly, holding out the present.
Leo’s smile went from ear to ear. “Open it, silly!”
Kai tore at the wrapping paper to reveal a silver box. He lifted the lid—inside lay a gold bracelet with diamonds and a folded note. He drew the bracelet out of the box speechlessly when he read the note. It said, “Forever Mine—Happy 1st Anniversary, Love Leo.” Kai’s eyes welled up with tears.
The feline got closer to the bunny as he put the bracelet on his right wrist. It was a perfect fit, as Leo ensured the measurements were right. Kai will continue to grow, resulting in it not fitting him anymore. Yet, this will not stop the feline from getting the one he truly loves—anything that makes them happy.
“Oh, Leo, it's so beautiful! Thank You; I love it.” Kai flung his arms around Leo’s neck, sending the box tumbling to the floor. Then, the bunny gave his boyfriend a passionate kiss.
Leo hugged him back tightly, nuzzling against Kai. “You’re going to wear it always, right?” Kai nodded, lucky to be with someone as caring as Leo. “Of course, I’m never going to take it off.”
The boys kiss each other again. “Good! Now find your other present.” Leo said as he winked at the bunny. 
Kai searched everywhere while the feline laughed. Seeing the bunny looking through all his clothes was adorable, yet Kai was nowhere close. Soon, the boys were playing hot and cold. After several minutes, Leo finally said hot as Kai had his hands over a drawer filled with underwear. The rabbit pulled out another wrapped present. The bunny did not wait this time as he unwrapped it to see a leather-bound 1st edition copy of Wuthering Heights, one of Kai’s favorite books. The boy opens it up to see that the author signed it.
“H…How did you get this? I can’t believe you did this, Leo.” Kai said as he jumped up and down from excitement. He knew he would treasure these presents for the rest of his life. 
“Oh, you know, my mom knows a person that knows a person. I got it last summer, but hold onto it for today.” Leo smiled; all his chores and studying to get all A’s earned him enough money to buy these things. It was worth it to see his boyfriend happy. He regrets not spending more time with him during the summer. Maybe he can convince his parents to allow him to invite Kai on their next summer trip.
"And I thought, well, Heathcliff and Catherine are like us. Star-crossed lovers, you know? I want us to be as passionate and intense as they are without all the... you know. Misery and death at the end." Leo recalled the details of the book when he read it. Kai continues to thank the feline for these fantastic presents.
“Of course we will. Now and forever! I love you!” Kai kissed Leo. 
The boys return to Leo’s bed as the feline cleans up all the candy wrappers and puts their candy bags somewhere else. Kai grabs his present underneath the desk and puts it on the bed. The feline’s eyes sparkle with curiosity. The bunny is anxious that his present is not as good as the two he got.
“Kai, you shouldn’t have!” Leo said as he started to unwrap his gift. It was an ultra-rare collectible Garest from Carnage II figure. The company made a limited amount of around ten thousand worldwide. Leo had tried to get his hands on it, but they were sold out before he could buy one.
“Holy shit! How?” Leo asked as he inspected the figure with all the small details like skulls underneath Garest's feet while the necromancer summoned the liches surrounding him. 
“Nothing special, really! I programmed a bot to buy one from the company's website when they came out. Lucky for me, my dad let me use his card.” Kai said as he remembered that his dad was okay with him getting it when the bunny told him it was a present for Leo. Unlike his mom, Kai’s dad is easygoing and only wants his children to be happy.
“This is awesome; thank you so much!” Leo said as he got up to put the figure right by his other horror movie icons, such as Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, and Leatherface. The feline tackled Kai in a big hug, knocking them back on the bed. They rolled around laughing and kissing. The bunny’s towel came undone to reveal the boy’s semi-hard cock. Once they came up for air, Leo’s expression turned more serious as he gulped, being more nervous than he had ever been in his life. 
“Hey… I’ve been thinking. Do you think maybe… it’s time we have sex?” Leo asked, not knowing if he was pushing the bunny too hard on their relationship. He loves the rabbit so much that he doesn’t want to force him to do something he doesn’t want to do. Leo’s gaze fell to the nightstand. Inside the drawer sat a box of condoms and a bottle of lubricant. He had gotten them a few days ago, so excited and nervous he almost vomited.
Kai bit his lip while he nodded eagerly, his cock hardening at the suggestion. “I want you to be my first, Leo.”
"Ooh, I'm going to be yours too, babe. The only one!" Leo said as he gently laid Kai on his back before kissing him. The boys smiled at each other. Tonight is the night they go all the way. 

“Let me set the mood!” Leo said as he got up. He turned all the lights in the bedroom off by clapping his hands. The only light source is the moon from a small window above the bed. Then the feline turns on some smooth Jazz on his cell phone as he lays it down on his nightstand. Kai watched as Leo rummaged in his nightstand, pulling out a box of condoms and a bottle of lube. Leo tossed them on the bed and crawled back to Kai, his eyes filled with lust.  
The feline grabbed the lube and slicked up his fingers. “Let me get you ready first,” he purred. Kai spread his legs to prepare himself. A million thoughts are going through the bunny’s mind. God, Kai had never seen a cock as big and thick as Leo’s in real life. Would Leo even fit? His pucker clenched nervously at the thought.
Leo kneeled between Kai’s spread legs, drizzling slick, cold lube across Kai’s sexy entrance. Kai gasped and tensed as Leo worked a slick finger inside him, then a second, and finally three. The feline wanted to be positive he did not hurt his lover. For the next couple of minutes, Leo stretched Kai’s opening.
“So tight,” Leo murmured, pumping the digits in and out, curling to brush against that special spot inside Kai that made him see stars. “Going to feel incredible around my cock,” Leo said as he continued to get the boy ready.  
“Yes,” Kai said, pushing back against Leo’s fingers. “Please, I need you now, Leo.” The bunny pleads for his lover to give him the real thing. At the desperate plea, Leo carefully removed his fingers. He wiped them off with his bedsheets. Leo, with shaking hands, took a condom out of the box and tore open a wrapper. The feline suited up, rolling the condom over his erection.
Leo positioned himself at Kai’s hole, the flared head of his cock nudging insistently. Kai drew in a shaky breath and relaxed, determined to take his first cock like a champ. Leo pressed forward, sinking into that tight heat inch by thick inch. Kai bit his lip to stifle a moan as he was stretched around Leo’s girth, every nerve screaming. God, he felt so full. But Leo, at the same time, felt so good inside the bunny.
They both gasped at the foreign but incredible sensation – soft, warm, and intimate. Leo bottomed out, his heavy balls resting against Kai’s ass. The feline stayed still, allowing Kai time to adjust. “You doing, okay?” he asked, voice strained with restraint. Unable to speak comprehensively, Kai only nods as he moans Leo’s name.
Leo groaned at the squeeze around his sensitive cock. Gripping Kai’s hips with his hands, he slowly withdrew until just the tip remained, then surged back into the bunny. His balls slapped the boy’s butt. They both cried out at the sensation. Leo set a steady rhythm, sawing in and out of Kai’s clinging channel. Kai could only hang on for dear life, swept away by the intensity.
It felt even better than Kai imagined that delicious stretch and slide of Leo’s cock spearing into him, hitting his prostate dead-on with every thrust. The boys sweat all over their bodies. Each thrust into the bunny causes the bed to creak. The only other nose that can be heard is the boys moaning each other’s name. Time flew by as the boys lost track as they had sex.
“Harder,” Kai panted, wanting to be claimed by his lover.
Leo complied, snapping his hips at an almost brutal pace, the lewd slap of their bodies and Leo’s balls hitting Kai’s butt with every thrust echoing through the room. A musky smell started to fill the room. These boys can no longer hold themselves back. Kai digs his nails into the bedsheet. His own neglected cock jutted against his stomach, leaking pre-cum and twitching.
“Fuck, can’t hold back,” Leo grunted, his fingers digging into the meat of Kai’s thighs. Blood oozes from the wounds. Leo cannot help himself. Neither boy noticed what was going on. All that matters to them is this moment. The act of showing their love and lust with each other. 
Kai just moaned brokenly, too overwhelmed to form words. He was so close, teetering right on the knife’s edge. Every thrust into him made his cock bounce around his belly, spreading the pre-cum. With a feral growl, Leo jackhammered into Kai’s ass, pummeling his prostate relentlessly. Each snap of his hips ground against Kai’s sweet spot until, finally, rapture overtook him. 
The bunny came with a silent scream, back arching as his vision whited out, his spent cock spurting watery seed across his belly and chest. Some of his semen hit the bottom of his chin. His walls rippled around Leo’s cock, clenching down like a vice. The rhythmic massage proved too much for Leo. With a strangled shout, he jerked and shuddered, spilling his cum into the condom deep in Kai’s spasming passage. 
Leo and Kai felt like they were in heaven; in that moment, they experienced pleasure like nothing they had ever felt before. A minute of this felt like a lifetime, but this wave of emotions washed over them in no time. Leo collapsed onto Kai, together in a sweaty tangle of limbs, chest heaving as they gulped down air. Kai wastes no time as he turns to Leo to kiss the male passionately. His tongue pushing through the feline’s lips to dominate his tongue.
Boys moan into each other's mouths. Leo only broke away when he was sure his dick was flaccid. He carefully withdrew and dealt with a condom filled with semen. The feline ties off the end and throws the used condom into a tiny waste bin beside his nightstand. Then he went back to cuddling with Kai on the bed. 
“That was incredible,” Kai mumbled drowsily into the pillow. “I can’t believe we finally did it.” The bunny could not have a bigger smile on his face.
Leo pressed a kiss onto Kai’s lips. “And it’s just the beginning. We’ve got our whole lives to explore and experiment.” The feline says as he stares into his lover’s eyes. Mesmerized by the bunny’s smile.
“Mmm… best night ever,” Leo agreed sleepily. “I love you so much, Leo,” Kai said, trying to stay awake but failing.
“I love you too, Kai.” Leo pulled the covers over them, and they were both lost in blissful contentment. The beloved couple drifted off to sleep, bound by young love and lust, ready to face whatever future obstacles came their way as a team. 
The moon shone down through the small window as they slept, bathing the boys in silvery light. Their fingers intertwined in sleep, a symbol of their bond—a bond stronger than magic, stronger than death itself.
For they were a necromancer and his ghoul, forever entwined. Two souls, one heart. And nothing could ever tear them apart.
