Clyde made sure to take care of Stensland, making sure the foxline was happy. Stensland was grateful for the aftercare and let Clyde take care of him. Usually Stens would have just laid there and basked in the afterglow. As it were Clyde had drawn a nice bath for him.
Small purrs emanated from the foxline as Clyde cuddled him in the bathtub. Both surrounded by bubbles which Stensland enjoyed popping with his clawed fingers. Clyde smiled and took care in scrubbing the smaller being down before going to go scrub himself.
"Allow me please." Stensland turned gently and held out his hand to receive the wash cloth. "I may be lazy but I will take care of you like you take care of me. I appreciate everything you've done for me Clyde." He smiled up at the larger man.
Clyde chuckled lightly. "They didn't know what they was missing when they returned you. You're a treasure Stens. A diamond in the rough. I reckon you're the best damn thing that's ever happened to me."
Stensland lit up at the kind words, his ears perking up. "Thank you Clyde, that means a lot to me." He leaned forward and kissed the human before plucking the wash cloth from his hand. He was gentle in washing Clyde and Clyde wasn't about to argue or push the foxline away. He quite enjoyed the attention he was gaining from Stensland.
"Clyde... May I ask how you lost your arm?" His touch delicate as he massaged the scarred tissue.
"Technically it's only my lower forearm hand that's missing." Clyde said in response. "Roadside mine when I was coming home from my second tour in Iraq. I hope it doesn't bother you."
Stensland straightened up at the new information. "Bother me? Heavens no, it's just another story to be told. I love every bit of you Clyde."
Clydes' heart swelled at Stenslands words. Catching his lips in a passionate kiss as the foxline still scrubbed him down. "You have no idea how much that means to me Stensland. You really are something special to behold." The thumb of his right hand brushing Stenslands cheek before he stole another kiss.
"You're coming to work with me to work tonight. I want you to meet some friends and family. Maybe sit you near the bar and I can make ya some of those drinks you like." Clyde smiled as he watched Stensland light up at his words.
"Really?! That would be great!" Stenslands tail wiggled wildly with excitement. "What are they like?"
Clyde thought for a moment. "Well they're a little rough around the edges. I'm sure they'll like ya though."
--Opening Time at the Duck Tape--
Stensland say happily where Clyde had placed a stool for him just behind the bar. One of the bars first patrons walked in. He was just a tad shorter than Clyde but just as bulky as the bar tender. A taller thin framed female following behind him smiling and waving at Clyde.
"Who may this be?" The stranger asked peering at Stensland at from under his ball cap as he hobbled over to the bar taking his seat.
Clyde poured the stranger a glass of Whiskey before introducing them. "Jimmy this is Stensland, Stensland this is my brother Jimmy and his girlfriend Sylvia."
Sylvia looked in awe at Stensland. "He's a foxline! How did you come about him Clyde?"
"I purchased him today. Though I don't think these guys should be pets their just as much human as we are." He patted Stenslands head.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Jimmy and Sylvia. I hope to be around a lot more." He offered a hand regretting his decision as Jimmy shook it. The grip firm but kind. Sylvias handshake was far nicer.
"So is he a pet or something more Clyde? Don't try lying to me either I know you and your affinity fates and that damn Logan family curse."
Clyde blushed and whispered to Jimmy and Sylvia. "Well I do like him... I want him to be my boyfriend but I'm afraid he'll reject me."
Sylvia snorted and laughed. "Clearly you haven't caught the way he looks at you."
Jimmy smiled. "Do what makes you happy brother you know I'll fully support you and if anyone picks on the two of ya they'll deal with me. Ya should bring him to the state fair this weekend so he can meet everyone else. Maybe ask him there if he'll be your boyfriend."
Clyde lit up at the idea. "Ya know I might just do that..." Other patrons started to filter in making idle chit chat with Clyde and his new friend. A lot of them in awe at Stenslands accent.
Stensland helped Clyde bartend throughout the night as well as downed a couple of drinks himself. He would sneak glances at Clyde and smile to himself. He was happy but he was anxious that Clyde would see him the way others did and return him to the store. For now however in this moment he was happy and he wanted to be with Clyde forever.
