Déjà Vu - A Gay Furry Romance Story (BoyXBoy)

Chapter 10: She Knows

*Alex's POV*
          Once we had finished eating, the three of us decided to play a question game. Well, it's not really a game, you're just asking each other questions.
"Ok, me first." Zappy said. "This is directed towards Alex: how did you feel when I kissed you on the cheek?" Oh god.
I was looking around at them, blushing, before saying,
"I... was in shock. I wasn't expecting you to do it, since you only just opened up to me. Did you see the look on my face? It was like this..." I tried pulling an accurate representation of the face I made, causing the others to giggle.
"Uh, ok, my turn. This is directed to my love." Cooper blushed. "Have you told your aunt about us two, or just you being gay in general?"
I saw him look at the floor, with sad eyes.
"Being gay, y...yes but..." he was starting to tear up already, and he hadn't even said it yet.
"My uncle didn't want me to be gay. He used to beat me, until my aunt called the police on him and he was put into prison. I still have some markings from when he slashed me with a knife..." He pulled up his sleeve, exposing several dark streaks in his fur. "I still h-have nightmares a-about i-it... today..." it didn't take long for his watery eyes to well up, before he completely burst like a water balloon. I reached out to him and motioned him into my arms without thinking. Zappy just stared into the distance with a shocked expression.
It was hard to see my beautiful fennec fox pour with all these tears. I even began to cry myself, my own droplets rolling down my muzzle and falling into his hair.
"You're still here now, and that's what matters, fluffy pet. Now come on, let's get ourselves together, it's your turn to ask."

He sat up, wiping his eyes and sniffling away. I knew what question he was going to ask, it was going to be towards Zappy about his parents.
"Okay, this one's for you, Zap..." Big sniff.
"Where are your parents? If you don't mind me asking..."
"Oh, heh..." he looked startled.
"Well, my mom gave birth and then died, so it was just me and my dad growing up. Then, a few years ago, my dad was late for work while I was sick and staying at my uncle's house. He sped along the freeway, and a truck driver lost control. On the back of the truck, it was ramped. He sped so fast that... he... drove up the ramp and... flew..." Oh no, another breakdown. The floor was starting to become soaked with all these tears.
I walked over to Zappy and pulled him into my arms just like I did with Cooper, and even ordered Cooper to hug him with me. We all hugged, our arms wrapped around each other, Zappy weeping his eyes out.
"...off the... side..."
"Shh, it's okay, it's okay..." I comforted him.
"Ok, I have an idea. I think we should all go to Cooper's house, to meet his aunt. That way, we can all introduce ourselves and Cooper and I can announce our relationship to her." I suggested.
"Yeah, that's a good idea." said Cooper, pulling away from the hug.
Zappy nodded in agreement, wiping his eyes with his paws.

We exited the mouldy balcony and made our way downstairs. There, we grabbed our stuff and went outside. Walking along the road holding tight onto Cooper and Zappy's paws, I kept on looking behind us to check if anyone was following us. Luckily, the road was almost abandoned, if it wasn't for the car approaching from behind. I turned around, alarmed, only to find that it was Cooper's aunt pulling up next to us in her classy white Mercedes.
"Hey, kids! Want a ride?"
"Aunt Jenny!!!" Cooper adorably ran over to the car.
"That's me!" she laughed, looking at Zappy. "And who might you be, young man?"
"Oh, just a bodyguard." he joked. Oops.
I turned my head to look at him, discovering he was blushing in embarrassment.
"Not yet." I mouthed.
He nodded and gulped.
Jenny gave him a look of suspicion, but seemed to shrug it off.
"Alright, hop in everyone!" she exclaimed.

Zappy got in the front, to let me and Cooper in the back. We put our seat belts, and we were off. It was just a few moments of silence, when I remembered my boyfriend was sitting next to me. I looked over to find him twiddling his thumbs. He needs some attention.
"Hey," I whispered.
He smiled as soon as he heard my voice - he must be daydreaming. Since he didn't look up, I decided to put my paw on his thigh. Theeeeeeere we go.
"I love you."
He blushed ever so slightly.
"I love you too." Cooper whispered back.
It was a few moments of smiling at each other before Cooper laid his head on my shoulder, and closed his eyes. I think I nearly died inside because of the cuteness overload. I stifled a chuckle, hugging him closer. Not even the seatbelt could stop me. We were both dreaming. Dreaming of tomorrow and even further. Dreaming of the whispering going on in front of us. Wait, what?

Before I could even open my eyes, I heard Zappy and Jenny screaming! My eyes bolted open in terror, and everything seemed to transverse to slow motion. I looked towards Cooper to find him with a wide gaze on his face, and he flew out of his seat and jumped on top of me. I looked at Jenny and Zappy, only to discover they had stopped screaming and were laughing. What? Why did this... WHAT?!
"Awwwwww, look at them..." Jenny giggled.
"I know, so adorable..." I heard Zappy coo.
Cooper was frantically rotating his head while... grinding on me.
"WH... WHA..." he yelped in dismay.
"Hey, calm down! Everything's fine babe-" Oh fuck.
I covered my muzzle with both paws. Why did I have to give it away?!
Zappy and Jenny looked at each other, gasping.
"What did you say, Alex?" Jenny raised her eyebrow, grinning.
"U-umm... I s-said... I..." I couldn't speak. I was overcome with embarrassment.
Cooper's sudden movement snapped me back into reality.
"You didn't say anything." He picked my face up with both paws, gave a smirk, and kissed me deeply. Oh. My. GOD!!! Right in front of his aunt!!!!! I couldn't help but look towards Zappy with a "save me" expression on my face. I could feel my cheeks on fire while I had my boyfriend's tongue rammed down my throat, right in front of his aunt.
