Behind him, Theo hears the bathroom door open.  The warmth from the steam washes over him, and he has to gulp to keep his wits about him.  He doesn’t turn around, though he can feel Potter standing behind him like he’s waiting for something.

Then Theo realises Potter's waiting for him to move out of the way.

“Er, sorry,” Theo trips over his words yet again. “This one will do I guess.”

He grabs a shirt without looking at it and does his best to walk away casually instead of sprinting like he would rather.  

“Not a problem. You alright with still sharing the bed?” Potter asks.

Theo pulls his shirt on and starts on the buttons.  Now clothed, he feels a bit more courageous and chances a look at Potter.  He’s still naked, with just a fluffy white towel wrapped around his waist.  It almost has Theo swooning to the floor, so he plops onto the bed and pretends to fix his shoelaces. 

“Yeah. Not a problem,” Theo repeats precisely what Potter said before because he doesn’t understand how words work anymore.

“You OK?” Potter asks, tilting his head.

The honest, truthful answer is no. No, Theo is not okay. Not okay because all he wants to do is get on his knees, tug that towel off, and nuzzle his face against Potter’s cock and balls. 

But instead, he forces a smile and nods.

“Yeah, I’m great.”

I WANNA SEE SOME ARSE on AO3

Hawaii, 20 million years hence

On the larger islands at the east of the Hawaiian archipelago, the local species of Eustolas are big enough to prey upon even notters. This isn’t the case for the smaller leeward islands. This individual learns disturbing a denning notter is generally not a good idea.

Neoherpestes marinus

The notter is descended from Javan mongooses, which were introduced into the Hawaiian islands by humans in an attempt to control rats. It did a pretty good job of controlling populations of the rats - and native animals as well. As the supply of available food on the islands began to dwindle, and as erosion ate away at the existing islands, they turned to the sea. 20 million years in the future, the descendants of these mongooses are a naturalized part of the Hawaiian ecosystem.

The notter can grow over a meter long, with most of that being a laterally flattened tail. Its body is long and flexible, insulated with the very beginnings of a blubber layer. Unusually for a mammal, it swims with a side-to-side motion of its body. Notters spend most of their time in the water, hunting fish in shallow waters and at the surface of more open seas. They have been noted to make trips between islands. Although notters are largely solitary, mated pairs stick together until their offspring are weaned. Notters raise their offspring in dens on land, and the father may bring food while the mother protects the den.

Hey, it’s a... Notter?

Jumping ahead a bit... A man and what appears at a glance to be an otter, emerge from a trail to the main road. Curious, they speak to him a bit. This is what they learned: -It’s not his pet -It wont leave him alone -It have a lion-like mane, but is otherwise an otter -It appears to understand every language they speak -It is adorable He mentioned in passing, that he’s an artist, and it just showed up while he was painting a scene that morning. They dub it a “notter” and figure they’ll check in on him later because they’re curious what it is. Their current theory - A wizard screwed up an experiment and became this thing.
