We're Only Animals: Book 2 - Part 1: Building the Tower

Chapter 6 - Louis' Equivalent of a Park

After the park, the two realized they had gotten way too messy to continue to waltz around looking that way, so they began to make their way back down the other sidewalk toward the condo, finding that the laundromat was relatively close. It was annoying that they would have to walk over here every time they wanted to do the laundry and pay for it, but cheap adult living had its sacrifices.

Louis pointed. "Looks like we found where we can do laundry." He stopped, peeking in the window. "It seems big enough, at least." Unlike almost everything else in the area. Even the park was on the smaller side.

Legosi peered in as well. "Hope we can fit a whole futon into one of those. I think we scrubbed it pretty well last night, at least."

The deer blinked. "You want to...shove the futon in a washing machine?"

The wolf looked over to him, leaving a smudge mark on the glass. "Isn't that how they wash them?"

"I don't know! I've never had a futon. At Horns, my sheets were washed for me, and back at Cherryton, we still had sheets. This is a first for me..." He scratched his chin. "Do you think we'll be having a lot of sex?"

"Uhhh...not sure."

"I need an answer."

"Well..." Legosi scratched his arm idly as he often did in situations like this. "Do you think anyone heard us?"

"...Um, well..." His voice came out high pitched.

"I think we were louder since it was our first time doing that..." The wolf looked deep in thought.

"Our neighbor Sebun heard us..." He blushed, red. "I didn't realize the walls were that thin."

Legosi froze, saying nothing as his eyes followed the turning of clothes inside one of the driers inside.

"So...looks like it will just have to be like the time at Gosha's where we had to stay quiet."

His mate sighed, lowering his head. "That's not the kind of first impression I wanted to make..."

Louis felt his face grow hotter. "And yet, I don't regret it at all."

Legosi blushed in turn, a big smile creeping up his muzzle. "Me either. Of course not." He shook his head and looked over at Louis. "Wait, so you really thought I did good? Even though I hurt you?"

"The better question is 'would I let you do it again?' and the answer is more times than you can count. I'm just hoping that my body gets used to it so it's not super rare because I don't want to be hurting after every time."

The carnivore stood there, his tail starting to wag. "Thanks, Louis. I promise I'll always treat you with the most care I can."

"Of course. I'm thinking we should probably get you some play clothes and some play sheets. First paycheck?"

"Sure." Legosi looked down at the dirty deer. "You need play clothes too."

"Oh..." He looked down at himself. "That was more rolling around in the grass than I thought I'd do."

"Did you have fun?"

"That was some of the most fun I've ever had!"

Legosi couldn't help but give Louis a few more licks. "I'm so glad you finally played with me! We never got a chance to at Cherryton."

"You never brought it up, even though I felt like we were playing around all the time."

"Well, this is proper playing. With a canine, at least." The two moved along again, Legosi going more in-depth. "That sort of thing makes up canine rooms at B-Strike."
