A Regretful Realization

Chapter 6: Tamales

Felix POV

I woke up an hour later to the familiar smell of.... "Wait is that.....tamales!?!?!?!" I loved tamales!! My mom used to make them back when we were on better terms. Without a moment's delay I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs completely forgetting I was only in boxers, I'd stripped down while I was resting. I jumped right off the fifth step of the stairs and ran into the kitchen. "Tamales?!" I yelled out and Blake spun around looking as if he was about to have a heart attack.

Blake POV

When Felix screamed "Tamales?!" Behind me I spun around and damn near flipped my shit. "Dude you almost gave me cardiac arrest!" I sighed deeply and he giggled. At that moment I realized he was only in his boxers. A sly grin spread across my face when I saw it dawning on him too. "Someone so excited for tamales they forgot to put some clothes on?"

"Ummmm...heh.." Was all he managed to get out before he rushed upstairs to put something on. Not that I was complaining about what he had on already. I went back to cooking the tamales on low so they wouldn't come out dry.

Felix POV

'That was embarrassing! Oh well.....I didn't need to show off anyway..' I thought and a knot formed tightly in my stomach. It must've been hunger. Hadn't eaten all day...I hurried and put on my new shirt and sweats then headed downstairs for supper. By the time I was done the tamales were sitting there waiting for me on a plate in the middle of the dinner table. Two plates were set on either side of it.

Blake was already sitting and smiled when he saw me. "Hey they're ready to eat now." He chuckled.

"Sweet!" I ran over to the table and piled a couple onto my plate. We ate in silence except from the occasional giggle from Blake as he watched me wolf down my food. I couldn't help it though, it'd been ages since I'd had such good food let alone tamales.

Blake POV

I watched while Felix ate like mad, practically shoveling tamales down his muzzle one after the other. He had about six before he leaned back in his seat looking very satisfied.

"Had enough have we?" I chuckled slightly.

"Ohhhh yeah." He replied, patting his small tummy. I giggled a bit as he got up and made way for the couch. I ate about four of my own and cleaned up. When the dishes were done I walked into the living room then sat right next to him.

"Do you have any idea how long it's been since I've had a single tamale?" Felix asked me.

"Too long I'm guessing." I replied.

"Yup!" He happily flopped onto the armrest of the couch while I leaned back. We laughed for a few seconds before I flipped on the tv. The Real Housefurs of America was on. We watched it in silence except for the funnier bits. Much later my eyes drifted to the wall clock that read 1AM. I didn't even realize we'd been watching for so long. I looked at Felix to see he was struggling to keep his eyes open.

I got up to turn the tv off only to have him look at me with droopy eyes. He was so cute..I picked him up in my paws and headed upstairs to his room. Felix was out before I was even halfway up though. When I got to his room I set him down and took off his shirt before leaving him to rest while going to bed myself.
