Savannah Blues (15) By Roofles
Even after dialing the number, calling and arranging a "greet and meet" Isaac was still befundled as to what was happening before him. Sitting in a coffee shop in the middle of the city with a dog across from him. A rottweiler. One of the more popular dog species and he was having a day out with him. The rottie wasn't here to see anyone else but him. A rottie. He still couldn't wrap his mind around that. Peeling his eyes away from the dog finally.
He was fit with a strong chest and with a bit of a gut, which the hyena found - for whatever reason - attractive. The dog had slightly smaller shoulders than the other rottwielers he had seen but it was a good thing, it really complimented that face of his. It was soft, strong features with stunning puppy dog eyes. Black fur all over except the brown strip under his muzzle, that ran down his open shirt chest to disappear into the sagging shorts he wore. Isaac had thoroughly made sure to trace every line and angle on him before he took his seat at the raised table the hyena found himself sitting at.
Isaac always hated these 'hipster' hang outs but wasn't argueing seeing the man he was sitting here with. Evan would be a lucky weasel if he had anything to do with it... "Evan really did think you were cute. He might scratch up every tree but he does have a good eye."
"...Hazelnut swirl, please." The rottie finished as he turned towards the hyena, cocking his head to the side with his ears up. "And you don't think I'm cute then?"
"This isn't about me," Isaac waved his paws blushing as the waitress came up to get his order.
"And you. Sir?" She asked drolly, the meerkat looking far too goth for this 'hipster' setting. Her hair was dyed black at the edges, each of her stripes as well as her finger tips. It was toned down he had to admit from what he had seen though she could lose the fifty piercings on her face.
"Just a black coffee. Extra Irish cream." Isaac kept his muzzle away from the staring rottie whose eyes seemed to bore into his very soul. No wonder they were in magazines and billboards. With those eyes and that bod they could sell magazines even if they forgot to put the words inside.
"Oh. I'm going to get 'such' a big tip from you. I can already tell," she droned each word dripping with sarcasm walking off with sagged shoulders muttering how sad and pathetic life was.
The rottie placed his fingers together. The large digits pads squished softly as he kept his eyes on the finicky hyena. Half expecting him to get up and bolt right there and then. Strange how he was so dominant before. Now he was like a rabbit caught in a br'er patch. It was...cute, he rolled the word on his tongue. It tasted sweet, making him wonder how the hyena would taste.
"Are you sure it's not about you?" The dog asked pressing the issue as he pushed his paw against his leg. All too familiar to previous times before for the hyena. Isaac frowned at this pulling his leg back uncomfortably.
"Look. Your hot. Sure, that's obvious. But I'm sure you can make an exception for my friend. He's a good guy. A little yiffy sometimes." He hated using that word more than any other. "But a good guy none the less. And I really think you should consider talking again with him." Isaac looked back at him, taking a long breath before putting his paws down.
The rottie frowned a bit but shrugged withdrawing his paw. "Ok. I see that you really care about your friend. When a guy throws themselves at you and you deflect him over to a friend that usually means your not attracted to the guy or your a really good friend. That... or your seeing someone." He looked at him, gouging his reaction. Isaac looked more curious than anything else, naive even. "I saw you come out right after that big zebra...." He clarified.
Isaac lifted an eyebrow as the gears in his head turned before he laughed. A giggiling hyena laugh that he quickly stopped catching his muzzle getting the rottie across from him to lift his eyebrows. "Uh, you mean Ralph? We're just good friends is all." Isaac coughed a few times to try and clear the uncomfortable air that had seemed to form between them. He truly hated his laugh.
"Heh, that was awesome." The rottie got up a bit, leaning across the table his stubby tail wagging. "I didn't know you guys actually did that!" He had a large grin on his face and the tail alone gave his feelings away enough.
"Well..." Isaac blushed scratching the back of his neck. "It's like a 'possum. They can't help falling over and playing dead when they're startled. We can't help the way we laugh. And I'm sure rotties can't help..." how attractive they were in todays society, he wanted to say but bit his lip as he looked at the rottie. Holding back. Not wanting to admit his own latent desires.
"We're ball chasers, you can say it." He laughed sitting back in his chair. "So uh...tell me about this friend of yours. How'd you guys meet."
"Well it wasn't anything special. We were high school friends. And when I decided to come up here for school he came along with me. We've been buds as long as I care to remember." The hyena shrugged before thinking about it. Evan was the longest person he knew and had stayed in contact with. Strange how that worked out. The weasel could drive him insane and yet he wouldn't trade the striped bastard for the world.
"Oh? So you didn't live around here then?" The rottie pressed spinning a fork around on the table keeping his eyes on him.
"Me? Nah, we both come from down south. Cali actually. But what with parents and what not we decided it was best if we changed things up. New setting, new hopes they say...I think that's the saying." Isaac mused the question over frowning a bit. His puffed out bottom lip and intense thinking made the rottie snicker to himself. "You know, I never caught your name."
The dog stretched out looking at him as he flexed a bit, rolling his neck and fanning his open shirt even though it was chill inside the coffee shop. "Ryan. Average name for an average dog."
"Oh come on. Your far from average." The words made the rotties ears pop up as a grin played across the corner of his muzzle. "Tell me about yourself. You going to school? Working?" Isaac continued not even noticing the change in the dog.
"I actual work two jobs in order to pay rent. I don't get too much free time these days but I've been planning on going back. To go into the arts." Ryan bowed his muzzle a bit embarassed. How many gay guys became art majors? And how many actual went anywhere with it afterwards.
"Well thats awe-some." Isaac clapped his paws together with a big grin. "I mean come on? Working two jobs? Half the people out there can't even get a job and half of them can't even hold a job after getting it. One excuse after another. And you got two! And you still got plans to go back to school. That's admirable."
"You kidding me? My parents can barely talk to me without getting all droopy eyed or start with that condescending tone. Commenting on every detail of my life." He laughed a bit. "I mean the last family get-together all I could say was I was working and had my own place. The rest of the family had real jobs, families with kids on the way. I got well...nothing, heh."
"At least you talk to your parents still. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing." Isaac laughed not even noticing the dogs ears droop as he rubbed an arm uncomfortable at the comment.
"Sorry, I didn't mean..." Ryan always hated when he put his foot in his muzzle.
"Hm?" Isaac looked at him with that naive expression of his as he took his coffee from the emo looking meerkat.
Ryan just shrugged as if he hadn't said a thing. Examining the hyena as he sipped his drink. The smile on his face was geniune. Something you couldn't fake as he took a sip of his own coffee. A way to a hyena heart was through his stomach apparently...
"Could I get some of those donuts as well," Ryan said before the meerkat could manage to get into the back to cut her wrist again with a dull blade. She sagged her shoulders. Isaac perked his ears watching her intently.
"Does this torment never end?" She moaned as she headed around the counter. Ryan might as well have been grinning from ear to ear as his tail wagged with lightning speed as the tray of donuts were placed in front of them, the hyena practically drooling. And Ryan enjoying seeing the hyena so happy.
"I hope you don't mind. I love donuts with my coffee." He spoke casual picking one up and waving it with a limp wrist.
"Me too!" Isaac grinned reaching for one before pulling back. "I'll help pay, mind if I have one?"
"It's on me. Go ahead." Ryan offered with a paw. Isaac nearly squeeled shaking his arms before him before taking one and chomping into it.
"What were we talking about?" Isaac asked finishing the bite he took with a loud smacking of his lips, a smile on his muzzle.
"Well I was wondering if you had any plans after this? There's a..." Ryan gouged his reaction again looking him up and down. "A movie! Yes a movie, that seems fun... that i wanted to see." he mumbled a bit before speaking louder. "It'd be fun. A real..." judging again before speaking. "Action...romance...comedy-,"
"Oh, I love comedies." Isaac wagged his tail as he licked his fingers one by one.
Ryan smiled. "Me too! A romantic comedy. Uh...Crazy, Stupid, Love. I think thats still playing," he mumbled frowning a little before smiling as the hyena looked at him.
"Was suppose to be good. I wanted to see it but, well that does sound fun. When is it playing."
"Give me a second," Ryan pulled out his phone flipping through the movies times. "It plays in like five minutes, if we left now we'd catch it right after the credits."
"What about the coffee - the donuts!" Isaac asked looking at them and trying to figure out just how many he could shove into his muzzle before they left.
"Here," Ryan got up. "I'll grab a box, we can take our coffee and then run to the theater."
"Run?" Isaac whined.
Isaac gripped the warm paw in his tightly as he leaned over a bit to the rottie who had his shoulder down invitingly for him to cuddle up with. Isaac hadn't paid much attention to the fact he had bought the meal, the tickets and even the drink he insisted on getting after they had to toss their coffee's. The donuts hidden under the back of the rottie's shirt. And even though the cat at the counter would've loved to strip search him, he made it clear he was with someone else. The hyena pulling his arm as he waved to the cat with a sly grin before following after.
"I just love that actor." Isaac said in no more than a whisper.
"He's ok," Ryan said gruffly. Releasing his paw he pushed the arm rest up before rubbing his thigh still looking at the screen but the smile on his face told the hyena he other things on his mind.
Isaac scooted a bit closer, resting against him as he snuggled up. Ryan wrapped an arm around him and placed a paw on the one on his thigh. Making sure his fingers slid behind the hyena's and giving it a strong squeeze. "I should've bought a popcorn bag, cut a hole in the bottom of it and let you have your fill."
Isaac looked up at him before supressing a laugh. "I don't know, I can be such a pig some time. Snout deep in your popcorn bag, all buttered up and slick."
"I'd just have to lick your muzzle clean." Ryan murred low bringing his muzzle up with his thumb to bump with his.
"I can get pretty...messy. That's a lot of licking." Isaac grinned toothily licking the rotties chin.
"Oh trust me, one thing I love to do. Is lick-," Ryan was cut off by a long 'sh' from one of the rows down from them. "Oh bite me you fleabag!" He called down before his ears folded back and he blushed. "Sorry," he mumbled a bit but Isaac was keeping his muzzle shut trying to hold back his laugh.
"Ok, next time we come. I'll do that."
Isaac chuckled leaning a bit closer. "Maybe a drink would be less suspicious. I happen to be a thirsty 'mongrel,'" he slanged himself getting the rottie to lower his ears a bit with a sheepish grin.
Ryan brought his paw down to coax his hips getting Isaac to turn on his side, laying down in his lap in the back row as the rottie kicked his paws up in the seat in front of them. The two just kicking back and enjoying the movie. Isaac closing his eyes half way through the movie and turned his head around to nose the rottie's belly. Isaac brought it down to lick his belly butoon and smell his musky scent that was seeping from his baggy shorts. A strong dominate smell that was turning him on. As if the rottie wasn't already.
The rottie scratched the back of his head, kicking his bare paws up a bit more on the seat in front of them. Scratching behind his ears murring softly down at him. "Hm...good boy."
"Hm...I'm not a dog," Isaac mumbled licking his belly and getting him to squirm in return.
"Oh? Then what are you?" Ryan snickered rubbing his cheek with the back of his paw. Bringing it down to rub his belly.
"A hyena." Isaac mumbled licking his belly again, loving that smell of his. The warm touch and body he was resting on. It was defiantly something he was needing. "We're not dogs. We're closer related to weasels."
Ryan leaned back rubbing his chest. "Not a dog...huh?" He weighed the thought in his head staring blankly at the screen in front of them not even paying attention to the movie he had bought for the two...
