Forbidden ( a BxB Furry Romance )

Chapter 6 - Abstract

By September 2nd, the dorm had become a warm, welcoming space filled with laughter, casual conversations, and a sense of quiet camaraderie. The initial awkwardness of their living situation had long since faded, replaced by the ease of routine. Silas and Kael, once tentative in their comfort with each other, now shared a bond that went beyond words. Their nightly routine of sleeping together had become natural, and even in the quiet moments when neither of them spoke, there was a deep sense of connection.

Ghost and Daniel had quickly become a part of the fabric of their days. Ghost's boundless energy and colorful presence contrasted with Daniel's more laid-back and introspective vibe, but the balance between the two made for an interesting mix. Whether it was Ghost dragging them out on spontaneous adventures or Daniel offering a more grounded perspective on things, each of them had a place in this new chapter of Silas and Kael's lives.

That morning, Silas awoke to the soft sound of Kael's breathing beside him, the weight of his presence a familiar comfort. The early sunlight filtered through the blinds, casting a warm glow across the room. Silas stretched, the covers shifting as he tried not to wake Kael. But the fox's ears twitched, and he stirred, blinking sleepily at the ceiling.

"Morning," Kael mumbled, his voice still thick with sleep.

Silas smiled softly, propping himself up on one elbow. "Morning," he replied. "Sleep okay?"

"Yeah," Kael said with a quiet yawn. He shifted closer, as if seeking out the warmth from Silas' side, though his gaze remained distant for a moment.

Downstairs, the sound of the front door opening interrupted the quiet. "Guess who's here with snacks!" Ghost's voice rang out cheerfully as they strolled into the dorm, carrying a bag full of various snacks and drinks.

"Already?" Silas grinned, sitting up as Ghost dropped the bag onto the couch with a flourish.

"You know me!" Ghost beamed, their bright blue fur shimmering even in the soft light of the dorm. "Snacks make the world go round, my friends." They spun around, glancing at Kael. "And you look like you could use some sugar to kickstart your day."

Kael rolled his eyes but accepted the bag of chips Ghost tossed his way. "You're insufferable."

"But you love me anyway," Ghost replied with a wink.

Silas chuckled at the back-and-forth, feeling an easy contentment settle over him. "What's the plan for today?"

"World domination," Ghost replied matter-of-factly, as if the answer was obvious. Then, seeing their blank stares, they laughed. "Alright, fine. I was thinking we could hit the park, maybe walk around the lake. I heard they're setting up a food truck event later, and you know I can't resist that."

"Sounds like a plan," Silas agreed.

Kael shifted, sitting up straighter. "Fine. But only if we can avoid the crowds."

Ghost grinned. "Deal. But no backing out now, Kael. You've been warned."

The rest of the morning was spent in a relaxed rhythm, filled with lighthearted banter and the comfortable companionship that had come to define their little circle. They would head out into the city together later, enjoying the simple pleasures of being in each other's company. For Silas, it felt like everything was finally falling into place. Even in the quieter moments, when they sat in the dorm, lost in their own thoughts, there was a sense of peace. They were building something real. Something worth holding onto.

Later that afternoon, the dorm was buzzing with a mix of excitement and casual chatter as the group prepared to head out for the food truck event. Daniel had finally arrived, walking in through the door with his usual calm demeanor, carrying a small notebook and a cup of coffee in one hand. He gave a small wave as he entered, his eyes scanning the room for his friends.
