With morning came the beeping of the alarm clock, and another day of school with it. Mastace was the one to subdue the screeching clock, waking Briggan in the process. "Huh, wha-?" the sleepy wolf looked about lazily.
"Good morning, sweet. How'd you sleep?"
"It's morning already?" Briggan flopped his face back into his pillow and groaned.
"Yes, dear. It's also Friday, which means we have school."
Briggan groaned his disapproval once again. Mastace chuckled, and shook Briggan's shoulder with a teasing grin on his face. "Come on, love. We gotta shower so we don't smell like musk and sex all day in class."
Briggan got up reluctantly and went to the bathroom to prepare the shower. Just as he turned the knob for the hot water, Briggan felt arms wrap around him from behind and a warm tongue ran along a short length of his neck in slow and purposeful strokes. "I love you," Mastace said after a few licks. Briggan couldn't resist a smile. It wasn't very long at all before he caved in and giggled.
"I love you too, dearest." Briggan said.
"Well, that's a sight to behold first thing in the morning,"
Mastace and Briggan both turned their heads to see Khrysta looking into the bathroom through a wide-open doorway with a big grin, and they were both still very bare.
"Oh, shit!" Briggan scrambled around for a towel, face deep red, and wrapped it around Mastace and himself to cover up.
Khrysta laughed heartily. "Don't worry, I see lots of male ass at home. Happens when you're the only female out of four living in the same house."
"Your family struts around the house naked while you're there?" Mastace asked.
"God no. Nobody 'round there knows how to lock a damn door except for me, so you can imagine how many times I walk in on my brothers. Thank goodness my Dad has a different bathroom he uses, or else I'd definitely have to move out to keep my sanity intact."
"S-Sorry, Khrysta." Briggan's face got redder and redder, and his ears went flat against his skull.
"You're good, dude. Do you have another bathroom I can use to freshen up?"
"Master bedroom's down at the end of the hall," Briggan said. Khrysta nodded then headed down the hall after shutting the door to allow the couple some privacy as they continued their pre-shower cuddle session.
The triad got to school in barely enough time to be able to make it to their homerooms. Before departing, Briggan gave Mastace a quick peck on the cheek and a quick "I love you" before dashing off to class. Mastace just stood there for a moment, dumbfounded.
"Did he just kiss you out in the open public?" Khrysta asked, half-teasing. Mastace didn't respond. He merely watched Briggan run into the building then started walking to the front entrance himself, completely dazed.
