Obligatory Furry Thread

It was almost the end of Aza's shift, and he felt nervous.

Not overly so, but enough for tiny butterflies to take up residence in his stomach as he rose from his desk and stretched his stiff legs out. Tonight had been remarkably uneventful, for a full moon, but it meant Aza was stiff-backed and restless, his more bestial instincts eager and hungry to do something more satisfying. Or someone... hence the slight nerves, because...

Well, tonight Aza was deciding to be a little bolder than usual. For a good while now, he and Aymeric had been circling each other, clearly interested but aware of the lines and hurdles that threatened to come between them. They had a few dates, casual and intentionally ambiguous, with maybe the odd one or two kisses that almost became something more, if it weren't for Estinien being a fucking cockblocker - but now Aza was ready to take that bold step forwards. If Aymeric was interested in him, then he needed to be interested in him, the werewolf of sharp fangs and claws and shaggy fur, and not just the handsome Miqo'te he mostly was.

He's seen it before, where werewolves were forced to suppress and hide away their other selves for their partners' sake, and Aza wasn't going to fall into that trap, no matter how handsome and charming and wonderful Aymeric was. So. Aza was going to approach him now, as he was, and see how it went. Best to do it now, before he got in too deep, if only for his own peace of mind.

It should go fine. Aymeric always stared and was weirdly focused on the no pants issue when Aza was in wolfman form, but he never seemed nervous or uncertain being near him. Which was good, and gave Aza hopeful feelings as he walked over to Aymeric's office, smoothing his paws over his thick ruff to flatten the plush fur a little, and trying to make himself look nice. His winter coat had come in, so he felt a bit too poofy to be sexy, but people like fluffy dogs, right? Should be fine. It'll be fine.

"It'll be fine," he mumbled under his breath, pausing at Aymeric's door to brace himself. As ready as he'll ever be, he nudged the door open and stuck his snout through, shoving his nervous butterflies down and out of mind, "Hey, Aym? You alive in here?"

Aymeric jolted awake, having dozed off right there at his desk. "Oh, Gods, how long was I..." He surveyed his desk, noting the dead cold and near-curdling coffee in his mug. He figured he probably needed it, and there was a reason his phone and e-mail alerts were set to near-maximum volume. He did feel rather refreshed, he noted slightly sourly. His bar for feeling refreshed was becoming startling low.

"Aza, hey, the shift change should be coming in, shouldn't it?" He checked his wristwatch, even with his phone right there beside him. He let his gaze fall over Aza's body, lit dimly in his darkened office— save for his desk lamp and the ambient fluorescent lighting coming through the closed blinds.

Aymeric had been sleeping restlessly lately. Part of that was that they were understaffed, and part of that was his anticipation of the full moon. Certainly his task force's schedule circled around the spikes of violence that the full moon brought, but he was also acutely aware of what else it meant lately. For the last several months he had been graced with a werewolf streaker, and his suggestions and offers for some sort of trousers had gone completely amiss. So he was left dumbly staring at Aza's eye-level groin for a second too long before his eyes quickly recalibrated to Aza's face.

"Oh? Do you know a venue that has a lax 'no shirt, no shoes, no service' policy?" His mouth quirked as he rose from his seat, all his joints popping rudely on the way up. He picked up his mug letting his eyes linger as he stepped around Aza on his way to the break room.

"Unless your idea of 'stuff' was more of an activity than a place," he gave a sly little wink as he disappeared down the hallway, trying to unrumple himself in the reflections of the office windows. The break room wasn't that far away, and it only took Aymeric a moment to wash his cup, thinking to himself as he did. Rather forward with the flirting, aren't we? cried his little inner voice. He quashed it. He had been fantasizing for weeks about Aza. There was so little left to the imagination, but still a lot - in a way. For instance, how did Aza prefer to fuck in his wolf form?

He turned once his mug was adequately readied for the dishwasher, leaning rather casually against the counter. "I am rather rejuvenated from my little nap. It could be fun. What did you have in mind?"

"Your place? Forgive me, Aza, but is your home, ah, furnished?" he gave another playful smile. "If it's anything like Estinien's apartment..." He trailed off, getting flashbacks to a time he had brought him paperwork on a sick day and being greeted with a naked mattress on the floor with beer bottles and pizza boxes strewn about.

Aymeric had gone to fantasy-IKEA that very day, and to this same day Estinien now had stacked, still packed boxes of furniture acting as the pieces of furniture themselves. Estinien and Aymeric had agreed that he would never go to Estinien's apartment again.

"My place is only a bit further up the road, and I just restocked my wine fridge. I've the next few days off, I agreed to take what's left of my vacation days before they expire. We could pop by the Moogle Creperie on the way back."

"Mm, only if you think you can go the night without trying to eat me," he laid a hand Aza's voluminous neck fluff, idly petting it as he looked up into that wolfish maw. "As I have a few better ideas for your mouth," Aymeric chuckled, leading Aza out of the break room. It was so close to punch out, his pager was still on him, and he'd kicked up enough sexual tension to coast into his apartment. He naughtily punched out five minutes early, barely making a dent in his projected overtime.

He led Aza to the elevator and into the underground car lot to a very handsome blue sports car. Even with all that they paid Aymeric here, it gave off the air that it was not bought simply on his wages. Thankfully, it was spacious enough to tote a Roegadyn in, and with the top down, there was plenty of room for a werewolf.

... And for those of a keener nose, Aza might notice the lingering scent of Aymeric's car top up activity.

"Food first, yes?"

In the relative dark of the parking garage, and while trying to pointedly not to only stare at Aza's balls, he didn't notice that.

"Distracting? I thought you liked motorcycles better," he gave him a sideways smile. "But that's fine, we can get a bit of drive-through... Or I could just cook something for you at home."

He was sensing that Aza was somewhat eager to get there, and he wasn't about to throw a wrench into his plans. Aymeric was getting a little steamy himself.

And Aymeric was simply a fantastic cook, put simply. He grew up with marvelous meals made by his parents' personal chef, and quickly grew accustomed to the caliber of food. As an adult he always tried to emulate as much as he could remember, and the results were quite good.

"Very well. My place isn't too far away from here," he turned his key in the ignition as the engine purred to life. Some modern swing music came on as he pulled out, driving as confidently and attentively as anyone might guess that he would. But also a little faster than he should. What, you're going to go the speed limit in a sports car?

"Oh, I wasn't in your good books before?" He gave him a quick sidelong glance to indicate that he was joking. But still. "I will let you judge for yourself, but I like to think myself a very competent cook."

Aymeric laughed. "So much pressure! I hadn't given it any real thought. I'll see what ingredients I have in the fridge. A surprise to us both. Either way, I am your commanding officer, so you will eat it and pretend to enjoy it." He wasn't nervous, but he had to laugh about this. He had to make Aza a wonderful meal while hosting? Hopefully Aza was as good in bed as he was hoping.

Quick yet delicious! All these expectations, Aza!

Aymeric was mercifully close to the office building. They could have walked if they felt like it, but a couple malms under these conditions would be unbearable. Aymeric zipped into another underground parking garage, and the impeccably clean nature of his car revealed itself.

"We can just take the elevator from here. Follow me," the parking garage itself wasn't that big. Nowhere near as large as the office, but this was just for the apartments above it. Aymeric led him to that elevator, swiping a key card before it would even open. Once they were in, he pressed the floor number and swiped a different card to allow access. After all, he did punch the number for the top floor.

"I hope you aren't afraid of heights." As the glass elevator began to rise, it revealed a view of the city behind them.

"Estinien is lucky every day of his life that I don't give him a write up," they both knew that was an utter joke. Aymeric would never write up Estinien, he respected him far too much. And they both knew there was no was Estinien would sit through a write-up meeting and paper signing. Short of firing him, there was no real disciplining.

"Do you scale very many fire escapes, then? Giving poor, unsuspecting residents a right heart attack?"

The elevator continued to climb, Aymeric allowing himself to look Aza over again as Aza looked out on the city. Eventually they hit the top with a ding, and the elevator opened up into Aymeric's foyer.

"Please make yourself at home. Can I get you a drink?"

"Serves them right," Aymeric smirked at that, heading towards his kitchen.

"Good, then come with me," because Aymeric was pleased enough to drag Aza all over the place, including in his own home. He uncorked a bottle of some nice red wine, pouring himself a glass, then stopping to consider what he was pouring into.

"...Would a bowl be better?"

Aymeric checked his fridge and pantry, rounding up ingredients to throw something together. Both were kept absolutely immaculately. His fridge just endlessly labeled tupperware, chilled wine, boxed pastries...

It looked as if he were going to make a pasta of some kind by the time he had everything on the counter. He rolled up his sleeves, pulling on a simple black apron before beginning.

It was a good thing that Aymeric was very educated about werewolves. He would need to be, after all, to do his job. Aymeric tossed a loaf of bread in the oven, figuring it would be demolished soon. But the true art of hosting was to have something for when someone walked in the door. He peered into his fridge, pulling out a dozen deviled eggs. Sure, those were his quick and easy breakfast for the next week, but this was more important. He carefully pulled back the cling wrap and set them on the counter in front of Aza. He popped one into his mouth before setting about with the rest of his ingredients.

Aymeric couldn't help but smile at the image of Aza, holding the fragile glass in his paws, lapping it up like that. "Very cute. Truly, I don't mind finding you a bowl."

Some part of him knew that he didn't need to turn up the charm, but another part really wanted to. He was too confident to think that Aza might change his mind on him, but there were things that spooked Aza that he wasn't entirely sure the reason for.

Making him sure that he was comfortable with the wolfishness of it all was a goof first step, in his opinion.

Aymeric laughed. He was a bit like a dog there, no way he tasted it. It might have been an imposition, but it was of the likes he was used to. How many times had Estinien come knocking for a plate of whatever Aymeric had? Aymeric didn’t mind. But if he could make use of him...

“Oh, don’t fret about that sort of thing. I could wake my staff to help, but I’m sure he’s sound asleep by now. Are you any good with a knife?”

Aymeric retrieved a sturdy ramican, filling it with wine. He had given the spare cat bowl he had a second look, but that would definitely be shooting himself in the foot. Even if it would be pretty funny. He surveyed the food he had and what it might take to satiate a werewolf. He started doubling the recipe in his head.

"Good. Cut this, then pound it flat. Pat it dry and then flour it while I make the sauce," Aymeric took a long sip of wine before turning and retrieving the heated load of brea from the oven. He deftly cut it into thick wedges and set out some soft cheese and butter. He set out the tools Aza would need as he flitted around his kitchen doing this and that.

"WIth any luck, we'll be eating in less than ten minutes."

He look another drink of wine, this one longer as his eyes lingered on Aza.

"So... How long have you been a werewolf?"

“That explains things, I suppose,” Aymeric quietly kicked himself. It was hardly ever a happy time when someone became a werewolf. Aza took it in stride at least, and for that he was thankful. He started to take the cut meat, breaded it quickly in flour and tossed it into a sizzling pan. It would cook fast, and that much was very much the goal.

“I’ll be honest. You’re the first werewolf I’ve had inside my home,” not to mention the first he’s tried to date. “My handling experience lies entirely in my work. I can subdue a frenzied werewolf. So... the experience is hardly applicable, unfortunately.”

Dinner was coming together nicely at this point, and Aymeric kept glancing at his houseguest. The question made his imagination run wild, but he was able to keep his composure.
