It had become an unspoken rule not to talk back to a certain black bunny rabbit. Yes, that one that uses his cuteness to toy with his enemies. He was none other than their boss, Aleister Selvan's only son, but even then, Celes could do just fine on his own.
No, he wasn't really scary or strict with his methods. If anything, he was a saint, a budding rose among thorny vines — a rabbit among predators. It was hypocritical of the group to encourage Celes' lenient methods, but then again, they needed a redeeming character of some sort to all their heinous deeds, and Celes happened to be giving it to them.
Young Master Celes had never killed someone, yet in just three years, he'd already done a lot of changes within the Serpenti group. The more he saved, the more they killed behind the scenes. Furan Shi had been aware, but he was a hypocrite himself. He pretended not to see, not to hear, and definitely not to know what the cleaners were doing behind his back.
He used his image as a saint as much as they used him. His fiance, Camilius, codenamed "Lili", had been nothing but proud to see the bunny rabbit grow. At first he'd been adamant on keeping the bunny locked to his side out of fear that Jinx would get himself in danger, but after seeing how the latter had blossomed as the saint of the Serpenti group, he slowly came to learn to let go.
The Serpenti group is now the strongest mafia group with the deepest links and connections throughout the whole continent. And of course, the more your friends are, the weaker your foundation becomes. A group would grow dependent on its connections. But somehow, thanks to Celes, the group had managed to have a strong footing on its own, that the "friends" they made had no choice but to rely on them instead, no matter the circumstance.
The bunny in question was to choose a sub-group to join today on his birthday.
The Serpenti group has three sub-groups: the Lupari, which consisted of black wolves; the Serpenti's Apple, which consisted of white serpents; and the Asian sub-group.
Jinx's phone kept buzzing at the side. He paid it no mind and instead focused on kissing the python whose lap he's sitting on. They were in the car parked in their school parking lot, and classes had ended an hour ago. Sure, there were students around, but the windows were tinted, and everyone knew not to look at an unassuming car.
They'd bought the cheap, second-hand car just to throw it after this one car sex. They just wanted to experience it in this world, in their school uniforms, all while teetering on the possibility that someone could peer through and see them.
Jinx grinned at the thought as he grinded his rear more, earning a groan from the python beneath him. Camilius' hands tightened on the bunnyboy's hips, his own grinding hard against the latter, creating more squelching sounds in the car.
Within those three years, Jinx had trained his body, too, along with his fighting prowess. He was still small, but his muscles had more edge to them, and he looked a lot healthier than when he first arrived at the villa compound. But even so, he's still the same adorable bunny, only he was parading his not-so-genuine kindness now as his main weapon, his second being a whip. The gun only comes in third.
Maybe the best thing that came out of it was his stamina lasting now for two more rounds.
The phone rang again, but as Jinx ignored it, Camilius chose to pick it up and answer for the bunnyboy. Jinx rolled his eyes at him and tightened up, forcing Camilius' groan as the first noise he spoke into the phone.
They heard an unamused groan, possibly exasperated, from the other end of the call. It was Anton Selvan, who sounded disappointed at his nephews. "I need to talk to Jinx." He ordered.
Camilius put the phone in loudspeakers and placed it at the side. Whatever Jinx has was also his. They never kept secrets from each other. The unaware runt wolf continued to speak.
"Celes, my little pie—" his tone had become a lot sweeter while addressing Jinx, sharply contrasting his dry tone when he was talking to Camilius— "you done with school? Come home as early as possible, okay? Don't forget what day it is today."
Jinx had wanted to answer, but at the same time, Camilius suddenly thrust up, forcing a loud whimper from him.
"S-slow down.." the bunnyboy whined, but grinded hard nonetheless against the python.
"A-ahh.. ah.. C-Camilius… nghh.. ahh..~"
"Ahh.. my baby's so tight.. ghh.."
"Mmhh.. ehh.. Camilius- wa-waitt… ghh.. ughh.."
Camilius' tail circled around his torso, up until the tip had prodded into his mouth to shut him up. His warm mouth wrapped around the tip had the python fired up. He held Jinx by the waist and began bouncing him up and down himself on one of his cocks.
Jinx could only whimper as he was being taken again and again, the vibrations of his voice crawling through the tail that sent good shivers down Camilius' spine.
"Master Celes will be there. We're busy," the python rasped towards the phone, and before Anton could get another word in, Camilius hit the red 'end call' button on the screen.
He flipped their position so Jinx ended up pinned below him. He began pistoning in and out with ease, wantonly, and Jinx had no choice but to take it all in with his legs bent over his chest.
Maybe this was the best birthday present he'd ever accepted.
——————————
The people's opinions were split between two choices: Celes could either join the Lupari, given that his father and his uncle were both a Selvan; or he could choose to be a Serpenti's Apple, simply because his fiance was definitely going there. Young Master Lili would definitely pull Young Master Celes to his side.
Today is the day their guesses will come to a conclusion.
A black car stopped in front of the stairs leading to the main house. Its back door opened, revealing the two young masters in their disheveled state. The long hair of the black rabbit was tousled, along with his white suit, and at the side of his neck was an obvious snake bite. He was even walking with a slight, but noticeable, limp. The serpent beside him walked on proudly, even though the state of his clothes was no better. Their lips were a bit puffed, too, with Camilius' having a small cut on the bottom lip.
The car that still smelled of sex were driven off, possibly to be crushed in a junk yard or something.
Anton, who was waiting for them at the top of the steps, sighed heavily and shook his head in disappointment. The two couldn't fault him, but neither could they care.
"Celes," he called in a stern note that probably just passed through the bunny rabbit's ear and came out through the other. "You're late."
「 "Am I?" 」
「 "Host is just in time, as always." 」
"Sorry, Uncle," Jinx replied with faux sincerity, taking his uncle's hand and briefly placing his forehead onto the back of it. "I got… distracted."
Anton squinted his eyes and gave Camilius an accusing sideways glance. "Sure, you were."
"Follow me, Celes. We have a lot to discuss." And to the young python, who was well towering over both the rabbit and the runt wolf, he commanded, "you, too, Lili."
The two followed along into the main house, down the south wing, and towards an office. The two were seated together at the chaise lounge, while Anton went ahead to retrieve some documents behind the desk.
"What are you two doing there?"
It was Celes who first acknowledged their uncle with a slight whip of his head. He'd been leaning in to Camilius for a quick kiss, but stopped just to answer, "we're comfortable here."
He'd grown more audacious within three years, but it's what Anton gets for allowing himself the punishment of being his pet. He sighed and shook his head like a tired father. He was a beautiful creature that prided himself as a helpless runt wolf well-versed in medicine and science, but now look how much he's aged in just three years.
"Alright, then. You two can sit here in front of the desk."
There was only one seat there, so Camilius took it and sat his bunny master on his lap. Jinx gladly took it and leaned back. The python's tail immediately circled around his waist out of habit and placed his chin on his shoulder from behind. It was a normal occurence at this point to see them like this.
At least Camilius wasn't placing his bunny down on top of the desk to eat him there. Anton didn't even know why he imagined such a thing.
Anyways, he slid some files across the table for Jinx to check. "I don't know what the Selachii clan have against us, but they're increasing their tax again. Would Chai mind being sent there to negotiate?"
Jinx stopped awhile to think.
"I will… talk to him. Sure." So those sharks were demanding… that kind of negotiation.
After being… "rescued" that day, Chai had sworn his loyalty to the Serpenti, particularly to Celes, and had earned his nickname "Ganymede" in the group. Anywhere Celes went, if Lili couldn't be with him, they could trust Ganymede would follow him.
Today wasn't one of those days for obvious reasons. Maybe he was preparing something for his master's birthday. Just maybe. Ahem.
"Now," Anton said, continuing the discussion, "you've been performing greatly in the past three years, that nothing comes to mind when I try to think of things I still need to teach you.
"Celes, here's the million-dollar question: have you decided which sub-group to join yet?"
Jinx nodded, coloring his uncle intrigued. He'd just been informed of the sub-groups and what they do yesterday, after months of making Jinx work under each one. And yes, he was sent to South Korea and India last year — that is, without Camilius. He was with Chai then, but even then, he never missed a day of calling him.
He was there for a trade negotiation and to smuggle in some goods Anton had customized for them. He was also there to get more bunny rabbits to work for them. Out of all the species, there are four majorities: humans, dogs, cats, and bunny demihumans, of which the last one has the most number. It was the Serpenti group among the underground groups who had first realized the brilliance of opening a mass job employment to these demihumans that doesn't treat them as lust-driven creatures, unlike what the Ursari group had been doing for a decade.
Of course, there were still some bunnies who wanted to work that way, but they are in the minority, and they weren't forced to. In this turn, somehow, the Ursari were back to selling rabbits in a not so charming way, unlike the peaceful route in the second turn. Not that Jinx cared either way. Chai was with him, and this caramel bunny was well-trained in both the arts of seduction and guns.
Back to the million-dollar question: "I choose not to join anywhere, Uncle."
Anton all but quirked up a brow, prompting the bunny rabbit to continue.
"I'm planning on being my Lili's bitch."
That's qhen Anton had wished he had a tea in hand just to spit it out in surprise. His eyes did the job of betraying his shock for him, dilating just enough for Jinx to chuckle. Even Camilius behind him was surprised at the decision.
Jinx looked over his shoulder, "wouldn't you be taking after Papa, love?"
Camilius' heart swooned at the pet name. "Yes… l-love.." he answered, half-focused, and half-enamored at the bunny on his lap.
「 "Raum, I messed up." 」
「 "That's fine." 」
「 "I didn't mean to say "bitch" (╥﹏╥)" 」
「 "Sure, like how you didn't mean to say you wanted Anton to be your pet three years ago." 」
「 "Thank you for being the best system, Raum von Corvus corone TuT" 」
「 "Anytime, Jinx "Celes" von Lepus." 」
Jinx didn't let his embarrassment shine through as he raised his chin up to assert his buwunny dowominance.
"So no, I won't be joining any sub-group, but yes, I will join the main branch for my darling."
Camilius had the same answer, but he looked more proud of Jinx's. Even as he was training to be the next matriarch, he can still join a sub-group. But with Jinx's decision, Camilius decided to do the same on the spot. They'd go through the hellish training in the main branch immediately instead of relaxing in a sub-group. It's fine if they're going to be together.
"Very well, then." Anton nodded.
He'd only opened three options, which were the sub-groups, thinking Jinx would only focus on those. He'd underestimated his master. Yeah… master. Ugh.
"So—" he cleared his throat, gaining back the attention of the two— "with that out of the way, have you found whoever you were looking for?"
Jinx frowned at that question. Ever since he'd been allowed to go outside of the villa compound for his training, he'd had a personal assignment he ordered himself.
He wanted to get Snow. At first, he wanted to just check on the snow leopard, thinking the story would just have the same flow. However, he'd forgotten that this wasn't "But Cats Can't Eat This Much Sugar!" anymore, and had naturally unaccounted for the major changes in the plot.
Snow wasn't in the orphanage anymore when he was only supposed to be sold out of it at the age of 18. At the age of 17, he was sold to an auction house. Jinx had acquired an invitation to it thanks to Camilius, but he wasn't too positive Snow would still be the same.
He'd feared Snow wouldn't be the same.
"We found him, Uncle," he answered after a while, biting on his bottom lip.
"Oh, really? Where?"
"At an auction house."
Anton huffed out in amusement, a stark contrast to Jinx's upset expression. "Which one?"
"Ursari."
"Oh, shit." Anton's amused smirk was wiped off his face, and then turned into a more solemn one. Even the quiet Camilius slightly tensed under the bunny rabbit. Jinx felt his tail tightening slightly around him, but it only provided somewhat a sense of comfort to him.
These days the tension between the Ursari and the Serpenti groups was more palpable than from three years ago, when everything was still quiet and slow. After the matters woth the bunny employments, and news about their infamous trainee, Celes, the Ursari group seemed to be moving more actively, too. They somehow had "accidentally" clashed with some of Serpenti's businesses.
"I'll allot fifty million," Anton declared, "make it a hundred if the situation calls for it."
It was half out of concern for his nephew, and half to flaunt their wealth in front of those damned bears.
"No, make it two, Celes. And I expect you to bring home the item, no matter what."
They discussed a little more about the files on hand, some businesses Celes had been handling, before they were finally dismissed. Anton took his pills as he watched his two nephews leave the office.
Aleister would be proud of how his son had grown.
And that's where the two were headed after the short meeting with Anton.
In the original storyframe, by this time, Aleister would have the snow leopard on his lap as he work. But with Snow being gone before Aleister could discover him in this storyframe, the results were pitying, to say the least.
Jinx could only silently pity his father in his heart. As he was the matriarch after Alodia, he'd been doing so many tasks at once. And now that the Ursari group wasn't making it any better for them, Aleister had to work double that Jinx almost regretted regressing the story.
Aleister needs Snow as much as the snow leopard needs him, or at least that's how Jinx sees it.
"Oh, son," Aleister greeted when he saw Jinx coming in, automatically filtering out Camilius behind him even though Aleister was personally training the python. He had a smile on his otherwise tired face, a small flicker of light in his eyes, and frightening bags under them.
Jinx accepted Aleister's hand and kissed theback of it with his forehead. "Papa."
Camilius also did the same.
"You're overworking yourself again," Jinx said with a small frown. No shit, his father's assistant was busy canoodling with him. Of course, Aleister was tired.
"Father, I will go buy something tonight."
Aleister only hummed in approval as he craned his head back into his work. What a waste of a handsome face.
"I will be leaving Ca- Lili here to help you."
Aleister hummed again, but Camilius wore a different expression. "But master.. darling… the love of my life…"
"I'll be fine, love," comforted Jinx, which was, as expected, only half effective, even as he placed a hand gently on the other's shoulder. He felt that familiar long tail wrappig around his waist again, only to pull him closer to the worried python. Their chests touched, and as Jinx looked up, their breaths clashed in the middle.
Jinx caressed the side of the python's face. "Chai will be with me, don't worry."
If Camilius had once been worrying if Hinx will leave him or not, nowadays he's become more worried of Jinx being in danger or not. Maybe it's the works of love, as he'd realized. He held Jinx's hand against his cheek.
"But love, what if-"
Jinx cut him off early, "don't you trust me, love?"
"I do, but I just can't help but worry, you know?" Camilius whispered back. "You'll be entering a den full of predators, and Celes is a rising star. What if… you know.."
"I'll come back to you in one piece, love. Please trust me."
The two were having a conversation that made it seem like it's the end of the world. As Aleister watched on, he didn't know if he should feel envious or annoyed. The corn snake was being too dramatic.
"Celes was also trained for combat, Lili. Don't worry about trivial things." He all but sternly reminded the python.
Camilius reluctantly agreed, but not before kissing his bunny rabbit master deeply. In front of Aleister. He conched his small waist with both his arms as his tail slid off it slowly, the tip dragging sensually along the bunny's side. Jinx kissed back and let Camilius' forked tongue snake in.
A small moan escaped Jinx's throat, and by then Aleister had to make hid presence known again by clearing his throat. "You may leave now, Celes. Lili will stay here with me."
Jinx, dazed as Camilius parted from his lips, nodded and breathed out, "yes, papa…"
They kissed for the second time before Jinx left his father's office, in it leaving also his heart.
Time to buy his father a snow leopard.
Juicy Bunny has been established as a private club for the four powerhouses; Ursari, Tigris, Corvus, and Serpenti, even though lately there'd been some tension with the last group. Juicy Bunny wasn't just for their bunnies, however.
The Ursari group was also known for their auction house that sells rare demihuman slaves and other artifacts. It just so happened that they had bought Snow first from the orphanage before Aleister had even discovered the snow leopard existed. It was located at the topmost floor of the yacht-like building that was the Juicy Bunny.
Snow was truly a gem, and so Furan Shi couldn't help but think he wouldn't be cheaper than the other slaves.
Fortunately, the Serpenti group was rich. Or, the Fontaines were rich, as well as the Selvans. Jinx didn't have to worry about overspending. Before leaving, Anton had even told him to be on the lookout for some specific items that would be sold there. The bunny rabbit agreed and waved goodbye.
Chai almost cried that his master Celes didn't get to celebrate his birthday at their intended venue, but said nothing when Jinx had asked him what was wrong. He couldn't spoil the surprise now.
So he quietly trailed after the black bunny.
"Master…" he whined as they speedwalked to the limousine waiting for them. "Do we really have to go now?"
Furan Shi only thought Chai was being irresponsible, so he shot him a brief warning glance that immediately made him zip up. "Today's an important day for me," he said.
They climbed into the limousine, but Chai looked more than ready to cry. Sighing, Jinx turned to him again.
"Look, if you don't want to come—"
"I-I do..!" interrupted the caramel rabbit. Jinx patted his head and leaned in to peck at his lips.
"Good boy."
Chai blushed at the compliment. "Master—" But he could speak no more as Jinx leaned in to slot his tongue inbetween his parted lips. The caramel bunny happily accepted the deep kiss, unhurried, as the car sped off.
Usually, Chai would be sandwiched between the two lovers, but today Camilius was needed in the matriarch's office. Raum had once feared Furan Shi would really go on collecting pets because he couldn't get a Santa daddy, but fortunately, he didn't have to touch Anton, and the only other pet he'd played with was Chai.
Jinx slowly pushed the caramel bunny down as they kissed until the latter was fully lying down on the seat, the black bunny on top of him. His hand slid under the other's shirt, finding one of Chai's nipples and pinching them, making the other gasp out. Chai shivered at the feeling of his belly being exposed as his shirt was dragged along.
As Jinx leaned away, a string of saliva connecting their lips, Chai breathed out another shaky gasp. "M-Master…"
"What do you want me to do, hm?" Jinx whispered back.
Chai was tinted a beautiful rosy red, with tears in his eyes and a pleading look on his face. What a flattering view. "Please reward me… master.."
"Very well."
The caramel bunny had become his snack for the long trip.
It was a long ride, so they left a little early and aimed to arrive there by midnight. With nothing else to do but frolic in the car, Jinx ending up being inbetween the other's legs, he decided to finally open a discussion. And no, it wasn't about his birthday. He probably had forgotten what day it is today, anyways.
Chai was just red as he watched his master crawl under his short skirt. "Master… i-it's dirty down there-" he sharply gasped as he felt Jinx's tongue lapping up at his slick.
"Chai," Jinx opened, his words vibrating against the other's small, twitching cock. "Do you want to know what fish sperm tastes like?"
"Master…" Chai tried to reply through his moans, "ahh.. y-yes.." His thighs closed around his master's head as his back arched, every licks and sucking a pleasurable feeling that made him tremble.
"The Selachii—" lick— "they're requesting for you—" lick— "what do you say?"
Jinx pushed the other's cock right down his throat. Chai could only muster a weak "okay," followed by a shaking moan. When Jinx started to suck and bob his head, Chai's hand flew up to grip on his hair.
"Master.. a-ahh…"
Furan Shi wasn't really confident with his blowjob skills, but seeing Chai's reaction, maybe he was doing just fine. As the caramel bunny was distracted by the rising pleasure, Furan Shi decided to talk to Raum and organize what he'll do for the evening.
「 "Spoil me, Raum. How much is Snow's value?" 」
「 "Five hundred thousand will be the starting bid. And can you please pull that penis out of your mouth first before talking to me?" 」
Raum seemed to have forgotten about its host's mood-dependent personality. Furan Shi only smirked while eating out his pet and in his mind, sassed back a, "no can do. Have pity on Chai, he's about to reach his climax."
His tongue swirled around the tip right as he pulled it out slightly, eliciting a whimper from the caramel bunny. 「 "See?" 」
「 "Right. Fine. 」
「 "He'll be the last item, right? Ughh, the tedium of having to sit still while I watch old farts fight for worthless items is killing me alreadyyy. And I'm not even there yet." 」
「 "Of course. You are here, sucking another dick that's not your fiance's." 」
「 "He said it's fine. He'd sucked Chai, too, remember? Ah, but I can go home after getting Snow, right?" 」
「 "Not yet." 」
Jinx momentarily stopped, earning a whine from his pet. Chai thought this was another kind of play for his master, so he chose to whine and beg for him to continue. He tried gyrating his hips, only to be stopped immediately by Jinx's hands. "Masterrrr…~"
「 New! Mission: Entertain Daddy Uno hehe. This will spice up the rivalry! Giving handsome rewards kukuku~ 」
Jinx hummed around the small cock. Chai groaned crisply from that pleasurable sensation.
「 "Raum, please tell my good sister to give me 10k C points if I ended up in danger. Nah, make that 20k. I didn't think I'd have to meet that greedy bear here. I miss him lmao" 」
「 Ding! A donation! Added: "15k Jiji~ I'll make it 20k if you'd wind up dead~" 100 C points to system wallet. 」
Ah, so stingy. However, Furan Shi wasn't really one to push another person — or in this case, entity — unless he was confident. Like how he'd gained his pets. Like how he'd wished to become a bitch-
Chai ejaculated in his mouth without warning that Jinx had to spit his cock out to cough. That's what he gets for getting distracted. Chai had just came from his high, but now he looked already terrified seeing his master choke on his semen. Who in the right mind wouldn't, especially when he's just a lowly pet?
"Master.. a-are you alright..?" He looked like he was about to cry, sitting up and hunching over to try to peer at his master's expression.
Jinx coughed out several more times before sniffing and sitting up. "Sorry—" cough— "it- it's fine.." cough—
Chai let out a small whine, not knowing whether to apologize again or help his master by rubbing down his back, or maybe give him a blowjob, too. In his trepidation, he sniffled. He hadn't noticed he was crying until Jinx had to point it out.
"Chai, this is nothing," he tried to soothe the other, and somehow Chai found himself getting back rubs from his master, instead of the other way around.
"But master…" his whine trailed off as his master kissed him. He tasted his own cum off the other's mouth, but there was a certain sweetness to it that kept him going, even inserting his tongue and trying to lap against Jinx's tongue.
It was an effective way to shut him up, Furan Shi noted.
They frolicked a little more until they had to stop and fix themselves. They're finally at Juicy Bunny.
As we've established, the building for the "private club" was in the shape of half a yacht that seemed to dangle over the edge of a cliff, only the size was unrealistically vast that the floors above ground were five, not including the open rooftop. The basement floors had three, of which one contained the public areas, and the last two were where the private rooms were.
The top two floor below the rooftop were connected in such a way that the top one was built more like a loft to contain private rooms for the VIPs overlooking the standard seatings below as well as the circular, rotating stage where the products would be displayed.
Jinx came in as Celes, wearing his Serpenti mask, shaped as the face of a white snake with gold accents and covered the upper half of his face. Chai, now Ganymede, as well as their five men behind them, wore the same masks to represent their group. They were led to the elevator by a woman that wore a bear mask, courtesy of being an Ursari.
When they reached the fifth floor, they were then led to a private room with the best view of the auction below. On the opposite side of the door was a tinted glass wall that conceals the room from the outside, but lets the onlookers inside still get a good view. There were also curtains on each side that they could draw. The side walls were lined with cushioned lounges with pillows, and there was a small bar for extra luxury.
Celes was given a remote control for his bidding later.
Ganymede and the others took a seat, all looking somewhat alert as they were in enemy territory. Even though the tension was palpable, the Ursari and Serpenti still were congenial with each other to some degree. That is, for show, hiding behind the word "technically". It's as if their feud was a volcano, waiting to erupt at any moment with the smallest trigger.
Maybe Celes would be that trigger. Maybe not. Furan Shi was only dead set on getting his Snow, no matter what happens. Aleister needs Snow as much as the snow leopard needs him.
It didn't take long before the hour struck midnight. The rooms dimmed, and the only lights were pinned towards an Ursari-masked woman on the stage, singling her out from the rest of the floors. She had red fox ears and a bushy tail, one with that white tip that almost resembled a paint brush.
"Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, and honored patrons of the wild and wonderful, welcome to the most anticipated event of the season — the Juicy Bunny Special Auction!"
Celes stepped closer to the glass, subconsciously tightening his hold around the remote control.
"...I am your host for the evening, Laila Vulpix, and it is my pleasure to introduce the night's festivities to this distinguished gathering of demihumans..!"
Time seemed to progress too slowly that Furan Shi had absentmindedly let his teeth chatter in his mouth.
"...Tonight, we gather to bid on the rarest and most extraordinary treasures the animal kingdom has to offer. From the finest pelts and plumage to the most exquisite gemstones and precious metals, every item up for auction is a true marvel of nature. And… stay until the end for our most awaited item!
So, without further ado, let the bidding begin. Our first item of the evening is a stunning sapphire-encrusted collar…"
Her words easily wormed into his ear — what an ear-grating sound — but died before it could even reach the other ear. It's taking too long.
The people below started bidding for the collar, whatever that was. Furan Shi knew that the collar would not look flattering on Jinx. If it's maybe green, turquoise, or reddish… wait, no! Focus!
He gave the list Anton had entrusted to him to one of his men, containing the substances that would be on the auction tonight, before shuffling over to where Ganymede was seated. He sat on the caramel rabbit's lap and faced him.
Ganymede easily blushed, as always. "M-master..?"
"Shall we drink?"
「 "Host, you seem to be in a good mood these days. Good for you, but please only drink moderately." 」
「 "Ah, the ever wise Raum von Corvus corone decided to give me unsolicited advice. But very well, I shall consider it." 」
「 "Well, you must. We don't want any unnecessary bloodshed in the fight scene later." 」
「 "What?" 」
「 "What?" 」
Before he could do anything, maybe kiss Ganymede again or press Raum, his phone vibrated in the inner pocket of his suit. He fished it out to find Camilius calling him.
There were 21 missed calls registered. This call would be the 22nd if Jinx didn't answer.
"Hello, my love," he spoke into the call as he placed his phone against his ear.
"You got me worried," came Camilius' stern voice from the other end of the line. "You never missed my call unless you were really really busy."
"I was, sorry."
"Sleeping?"
"Eating."
"Oh. And here I was contemplating whether or not to come over there myself. Should I, my bunny buns?"
They talked some more, mostly shot each other some sickeningly sweet nothings, and Jinx almost never wanted the call to end for some reason.
「 "Am I in love yet?" 」
「 "I don't think so. Yes, no, maybe so..?" 」
The call soon jad to end, and Celes had no choice but to place his chin on Ganymede's shoulder. "I'm bored."
The caramel bunny couldn't really reply as he was busy holding back a moan. His master was kneading his crotch. What a foul move..!
"Master.." he whispered, wiggling slightly. He wasn't even sure if he should enjoy it in front of these men or… well, enjoy it. He bucked against his master's hand, also bouncing the bunny on his lap at the movement. Celes smirked at him.
"Naughty, naughty."
The four other men who had nothing to do pretended to be furnitures, assuming parts of the lounge. Only one was lucky, as he get to pretend to be not listening in on Ganymede's slutty whimpers as he busied himself with Anton's list.
The auction dragged on, Laila Vulpix continued her hosting, Celes was getting bored that he'd slept through half of the event. But that half was meant for a short break. He silently cursed the Moreno Brothers.
As the people below took a short break and were served refreshments, there was a polite knock on Celes' door.
"Open it," commanded the black bunny. The man nearest to the door opened it.
Behind stood a tall man wearing an Ursari mask. From the broad shoilders and bulging muscles as he held up a tray of cocktails, Furan Shi could discern only one man out of all the descriptions that matched.
"My," he spoke up, chuckling as he got off his pet's lap to greet the tall man by the doorway, "I wasn't expecting a visit from you, but here you are.
Come. Come in and do take a seat. I insist."
Celes took a seat near the tinted glass wall. The taller man took the lounge adjacent to it. Celes kicked back, exuding a relaxed demeanor despite the warnings of the man's physique. The man let the weight of his gaze linger on the bunnyboy, half-amused and half-intrigued. "You recognize me?"
"Why, but of course..!" Celes promptly replied that it almost sounded flattering. "Who wouldn't know the fine man that's you, Sir Uno Moreno."
The bear man's codename rolled off nicely on his tongue that the man could feel like he'd willingly listen to the bunny rabbit speak all day.
He neared the tray towards the bunny. Furan Shi took the nearest drink with a salt rim, a classic margarita. "Here, for my lovely special guest. Let's toast."
「 "I keep forgetting if salt is good for bunnies or not." 」
「 "And you're drinking alcohol, no shit. Of course you can take salt. You're partly human, like how you're actually able to eat a little beef bourguignon." 」
「 "Wh.. why didn't you tell me that ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ" 」
「 "You never consulted about it. But you're asking the wrong question here." 」
「 "Oh, right. Is this drink spiked?" 」
「 "Take a guess and shoot in the dark." 」
「 "I'll turn you into a game bird and shoot you, how about it :D?" 」
「 "I like my life a little spicier, thank you." 」
Furan Shi bought a pill from the system store to combat it just in case it was really spiked. The same pill could flush out the stupor in his body if taken. Wow, there's something like that? Might as well be Anton's product ah.
Furan Shi took his first sip after seeing Daddy Uno do the same.
Oh, that tasted nice. Should margaritas really taste this sweet?? Celes took another sip, and then another, until he almost halved the wide glass.
Ah, maybe he shouldn't be addressing him with "Daddy" anymore, considering the story, but somehow, the nickname had already grown on him. But, again, for the sake of the story immersion, he internalized to remove that unnecessary prefix moving forward.
"So," the bunnyboy started, looking to Uno Moreno over his margarita, "what brings you here, Sir Uno?"
"Uno's fine." The man chuckled. He was about to add "but you can call me daddy" instinctively for some reason, but shook it out of his head and served instead a flashy smile to express his amusement outside of the constraints of his Ursari mask.
"So, Celes. I have heard so many wonderful things about you that I couldn't help but let my feet lead me here to you. Is this fate talking or what?"
Ah, his glib tongue failed him. He sounded desperate to Furan Shi, and the chuckle that followed that statement didn't really do anything to mask it. He spotted Ganymede covering his mouth out of the corner of his eyes.
"Ah, but it was only unfortunate that this Celes is already engaged to someone," Celes smoothly replied before taking another sip of his cocktail. He didn't fail to catch that subtle glint of something dark in the bear man's eyes as he watched the bunny take his sip.
"Oh, really?" Uno languidly asked back,then raised his glass for a small toast and drank from it. "That's indeed unfortunate, however, that—"
"We are in love, Sir Uno."
"Just Uno is fine." The bear man could feel a small pang of something in his chest after hearing the bunny call him 'Sir.'
Celes briefly glanced at the tinted glass wall beside him as he replied. "Ah, but calling you that way as if we're already familiar with each other is a bit…"
"I don't mind," supplied the bear man for him.
This man is so shameless ah. Daddy Uno never changed. But it was unfortunate indeed that he was already attached to Camilius Fontaine.
「 "How do I get out of here..?" 」
But he wasn't able to hear Raum's reply at the moment when his eyes languidly leered to the side, out of his control. No, it wasn't just his eyes. His head felt especially heavy that he feared he was drooping sideways. Ganymede was immediately alerted, but remained still when he saw Celes raise a hand for him.
「 "Should've… should've taken the pill…" 」
The drink wasn't even spiked with something nasty. Uno couldn't help but chuckle at the cute sight. "My, aren't you a lightweight, Celes."
"Oh, but you should already know I'm a lightweight, hmhm.."
Celes giggled, his shoulders slightly bobbing as he did so. He finished his drink and placed the empty glass back down onto the tray at the side with a little more force than he can control. He giggled at his clumsiness.
"Sorry about that.. hehe.."
Uno Moreno, mesmerized by how cute the bunny looked, couldn't help but laugh along. He reached for the bunny's chin and tilted it up for them to make a proper eye contact. Celes was barely looking at him. "You're a cute little thing, you know that?"
"Oh, I do~" Celes replied, and by then, Ganymede knew to command the men on standby at the side himself. He signalled for them to stay alert.
"My love tells me that all the time~!"
Uno's face darkened. "So you really do love him."
"Eh, we fuck everyday."
His face darkened more, and in his grip his poor whiskey glass was almost crushed. "Every… day..?"
Ganymede didn't know if he should still be concerned or what.
"Yes, yes, everyday~!" Continued the black rabbit who'd almost leaned in too close to the bear man. "In the kitchen, in the bedroom, in the car… uhm… Yeah~!"
Gods, his dialogues were full of tildes. Uno couldn't decide between feeling sour or bitter or giddy at the cute sight. So he felt all three of them fighting in his chest. Right there behind his fine pecs.
Ooh la lah~
His pecs didn't escape the wild bunny's gaze. "C-can I squeeze those?" he asked, shamelessly, even raising a hand and pointing a finger towards the bear's chest. "I missed squishing thooose. Oh, dear. I'm saying too much..!"
"Go ahead," Uno had agreed before he could stop himself. He heavily sighed and sent a warning glare to Ganymede and the rest at the side not to say another word. Jinx happily scooted over to him and with a one-two, his hands came up and both kneaded Uno's chest.
The man let out a short gasp that he immediately sealed behind his lips tightly. Yes, as tight as he could. The bunny looked enticing at this rate, yes, but his nipples were feeling something they shouldn't be feeling because they belong to a big, strong man!
He's not a damn cow!
"Hee hee…" Jinx slightly bounced as he hiccupped, and then he accidentally squeezed the other some more, unwittingly eliciting an uncharacteristic whimper from the big man.
Uno cupped his mouth. "T-that's enough, bunny."
"Aww…"
As much as Furan Shi had wanted to, he still somehow knew not to disobey his daddy Uno's orders. "Okay, daddy…"
He slid back to his seat, but with it came the bear man's stare. "What did you just… call me..?"
Uh oh. Furan Shi had caught himself too late. "Uh…" he had to make something up quick. "D-daddy just suits you… Daddy Uno.. heh. Yeah..!" And he masked his nervousness with his drunk giggling, and then he hiccuped again.
Daddy Uno looked to Ganymede at the side for help, who only shrugged at him, that damn caramel hair. Well, it was his fault in the first place. He told them not to say another word. Well, his glare had implied it so.
He should be taking advantage of the black rabbit in his stupor, but why does it feel as though he was the one getting taken advantage of??? In the end, he exited that VIP room after giving his business card to Ganymede. "Hold onto this until your master sobers up," he instructed before leaving.
As the door closed, Celes went back to reclining into the comfortable headrest of the lounge and crossed his legs, like he hadn't been acting so drunk all along. Ganymede sighed in relief and walked over to his master to give him the business card.
Celes forced his vision to still before pocketing the card. "That's what you get for playing me, stupid bear." He all but whispered to himself.
「 "I thought you were really drunk." 」
「 "I am, but I am still aware, just… wobbly." 」
The auction finally continued after that short break.
