The gentle crunching of long-dead leaves sounded underfoot as two figures make their way down the heavily wooded forest path; a whispering wind banishes the debris from the long and winding trail. With each chilling caress of the near winter breeze, a few more leaves descended to rest upon the hardening earth below, raining down around the pair in solitude as the sun began to set.
    "You said this wasn't going to take long..." A young male in his later teens with wild pink hair turned to face his companion, a look of annoyance beginning to form on his face, twisting his features into an unpleasant expression. "But we've been at this for hours now, and I'm beginning to think that we might be lost." Returning his gaze to the path before him, the punkish teen heard a soft, defeated sigh slip from his companion's lips.
    Walking alongside the pink-haired rogue was a taller wolf with fur that could best be described as "darkness given shape" and bright blue eyes. He wore a long brown frock coat of finely tailored wool, along with several other articles of clothing that would not have been out of place in the victorian era of finer fashion. No longer feeling the eyes of the young man at his side upon him, the wolf turned his head to take in his companion's form; a somewhat demonic-looking canine hybrid of some indeterminate species. The younger male was several inches shorter than his own height of little under an even six feet. He wore a black and red striped shirt beneath a black tank top decorated with an odd eyeball pattern in white. A fashionable leg strap adorned his grey pants, which were currently tucked into his red and black platform boots. Two inverted crosses hung from the piercings in his left ear, while a simple silver stud adorned his right. If one were to describe this individual in a single word, it would be near impossible to not say "cute."
    "Forgive me, brother. I should not have brought you along on this task. It was foolish of me to believe that it would be over quickly." The black-furred wolf hung his head as his pace began to slow, shame and guilt weighing heavily upon his heart.
    "No...it's okay, Scin. Really. I knew what I was getting into when I signed on. I'm sorry, it's just getting cold, and dark, and I'd rather not be stuck outside all night." Turning to Scin, the young hybrid stood in place, his eyes gentle as he gazed into those of his companion, a slight tugging at his heartstrings kept him from staying too upset.
    "Blank, I can not accept that. If you're put into any danger as a result of my failure, I could never forgive myself." Hearing his brother's words, Blank gently, and sadly, nodded his head in understanding before wrapping his arms around him and pressing his face into his chest, a deep sigh passing from between his parted lips. Welcoming the warm embrace of his beloved sibling, Scin returned the loving gesture and took his brother into his own arms, holding him close and planting a tender kiss atop his head. 
    Reluctant, but eager to continue moving, Blank pulled his arms from Scin's waist and turned to continue walking, Scin himself not far behind. The sounds of birds chirping and singing their wordless songs echoed through the trees and began to grow distant, their feral lullabies fading away into silence as the pair made their way deeper into the forest. Looking ahead, Scin could see the sun nestled within the trees upon the vast horizon, darkness beginning to stretch its infinite reach across the land before them, deathly fingers grasping at their bodies as the air grew cold and cruel. Noticing the shifting surroundings, Blank surveyed the area around him with an expression of ever-growing concern, a sudden chill wracking his body and sending a violent tremor crawling along his spine, hairs standing on end at the frigid air. Only standing a distance of a few feet from his brother, Scin could not help but watch despondently as Blank began to tremble with the drop in temperature.
    "Brother, are you cold? Here, take my coat, I'll be fine without." Taking off his heavy frock coat, Scin held it out at arm's length to Blank in offering. Turning his head to face his older sibling, Blank simply shook his head and hugged himself, arms grasping at each other in futility as he desperately tried to keep himself warm. Unwilling to allow his spunky companion to freeze, Scin lets out a sigh of mild frustration before resting the coat upon Blank's slender shoulders, resting his hands there for a brief moment before softly whispering, "It's my duty to keep watch over you and keep you safe, and I intend to do exactly that, little brother. Please, put it on. I'll be fine, I promise." A gentle hand raises and comes to rest upon Scin's own, his heart sinking as he feels it quiver.
    "Thank you, big bro." Blank once again turns his head, this time to meet his brother's concerned gaze and give him a warm smile. Fastening the coat around himself, Blank takes hold of his brother's hand and leads him onward into the quickly darkening woods, his heartbeat softly racing as he feels his hand being squeezed with fond affection.
    Desperate to escape the cold, Blank begins scanning his surroundings frantically in an effort to find any possible means of shelter, but with the setting sun, any hope he once had faded along with the light of day. With each passing minute, The young pink-haired canine grows more and more downhearted as every effort is met with crushing failure and further darkness, his grasp on his brother's hand growing tighter and increasingly fearful.
    "H-hey, don't worry, big bro. I-I'll find something and get you nice and warm. You'll see!" His voice trembling just as much as his distressed grip on his brother's chilled hand, tears begin to slowly crawl down Blank's fur-covered cheeks. Going ever deeper into the forest, a dim light appears beyond a line of trees and Blank's impish ears perk up, a smile quickly spreading across his face. Tightly gripping the hand he held within his own, he sprints towards the light, a glimmer of hope building in his chest as it grows closer and closer. A minute later, Blank emerges with Scin in a small clearing with a comfortably sized cabin at its heart. "L-look! What'd I tell you?" Giving Scin a quick smile, he runs towards the door and knocks with what strength he can muster. Several long moments pass without an answer; unhappy with the idea of being outside any longer than has already been necessary, Blank once more slams the side of his fist against the wooden door. Yet again failing to be met with any sort of response, the punky youth looks around, making sure that nobody was nearby before forcing the door open. 
    A loud and piercing creak fills the room as the old and rusted hinge of the cabin door grinds against itself, the shrill cry of the opening door sending a chill up Blank's spine. Peering inside, he takes a look around the cabin's decrepit interior, little more than several dust-covered boxes and a mold spotted rug filling its seemingly ancient walls. Happy as he was to find some means of shelter, Blank could not help but feel a tad off-put by the fact that, in spite of the glow coming from the location mere moments before, he could not see any signs of somebody having been there in years, the location seemingly abandoned. Hastily pulling his shivering companion inside, Blank quickly closes the door, finding a bolt lock on its interior and pulling it to the side, not too terribly keen on the idea of somebody else finding the cabin and letting themselves in as they slept. 
    "W-we should be safe here f-for the night, big bro...big bro?" A moment of uncomfortable silence passed as Blank anxiously awaited a reply, failing to receive one, he nervously turns to Scin, only to find the dapper sibling weakly stumbling through the door. "H-hey, are you okay?" Blank looked to Scin, worry filling his eyes and shaking his voice. Unable to speak, Scin slowly gives a somber nod before collapsing to the floor, a loud thud sounding as his limp body strikes the wood beneath. Running to his companion, Blank quickly takes him into his arms, heart dropping as he feels him shivering violently in his grasp. "B-bro, what's wrong?!" Lifting his hand to Scin's forehead, he held it there for several moments, mind racing as he feels the intense heat against his palm. "No...nononono. You should have said something!" Ripping the coat from his body, he lays it over Scin's trembling form, the heavy garment being quickly rejected and pushed aside.
    "N-n-n-no. Y-you need it m-m-more. I-I'll be f-fine." Scin's eyes look up, half-lidded, to his companion, a weak and quivering smile parting his lips. "I-it's my f-f-f-fault you're i-in this situation anyw-w-way."
    "I don't care!" Blank shouted, tears once again staining the fur of his cheeks as he held his shivering sibling close to his chest in a heated embrace. "I'm not going to lose you! Not like this!" Running towards the few boxes left within the cabin's interior, Blank throws several of them open, frantically rummaging through their contents in hopes of finding anything and everything of any possible use or aid. With each fruitless box he tossed to the side, Blank began to lose hope and openly sobbed at the thought of losing his beloved older brother, his heart feeling as though it were in a punishing vice. Opening the final box, his eyes lit up as he found a rather old and tattered quilt. He did not care what the condition of the fabric might be, it was warmth and comfort, both of which were in fearfully short supply at the moment. Running back to his brother's side, Blank quickly placed the quilt over Scin, tucking the fabric under his sides, hoping to keep in as much warmth as he could. As he pushed in the last section of cloth, the pink-haired rebel could feel the older brother softly stirring in his rest, heavy and ragged breaths desperately grasping at every bit of air they could claim. "It's gonna be okay, big brother...trust me, okay?" Hands shaking, Blank gently takes Scins cheeks into his palms and plants a tender kiss on his forehead, his eyes stinging as his tears continued to flow. As an extra precaution, Blank softly lays the heavy frock coat on top of the shivering Scin for an added layer of warmth.
    Several long and tense minutes of uncertainty pass while Blank dutifully watches over the trembling form of his older sibling, his worry and anxiety as plain on his face as the cold in the night air. Unable to sit still in the situation and environment, he quickly paced back and forth, wrapping his arms around himself as the cold began to set in. Countless thoughts and even greater concerns raced through his mind, the fear of losing his closest friend and brother weighing heavily upon him, his heart aching with every terrible scenario that arose in his uneasy mind. The sound of a low rumbling and an ache in his stomach pulled Blank from his thoughts, causing him to instinctively place a hand over his abdomen, a somber expression on his face. Walking towards the section of the cabin that could most closely be described as a "kitchen", Blank began to desperately sort through the cabinets and drawers, hoping to find some sort of food or drink that he could share between himself and Scin. Empty containers and half-chewed empty boxes littered the old and dust-covered shelves, deceased insects scattered about as well did little to offer him any comfort. Looking under a poorly constructed sink, a small pile of several cans came into view. A faint grin worked its way onto Blank's face as he grabbed can after can from the decrepit cabinet. Sorting through the pile of tin, he was disheartened to find several of them torn open and empty or years past their date. Tossing can after can to the side, he finally happens upon a can of simple chicken noodle soup. Blank silently wished it could have been something a bit more hearty and filling, but he was well aware of the fact that he was not in a position to be picky. taking two of the empty cans, he carries the can of soup over to Scin, gazing lovingly down at him and whispering, "I'll be right back. Just...hold on, okay?"
    Minutes later, a shivering Blank walks back into the cabin with two half-full cans of heated soup, a small fire now burning outside within a circle of stones. Sitting down beside his resting sibling, Blank carefully puts his arm beneath his head, tilting it and slowly easing the soup down his throat, his efforts earning a weak groan from the older wolf. An audible gulp could be heard as Scin swallowed the contents of his meager meal, the occasional quivering breath escaping his lips while he ate. Pouring the last of his soup into Scin's open mouth, a final gulp signals the end of the meal and cues Blank to begin eating his own. Still seated beside the resting wolf, he slowly eats his meal, tiling his head and drinking the simple soup, the warmth doing him a small favor in heating him up. As he ate, he could not help but watch his bother's face as he lay there, his concern remaining as he watched him quivering beneath the quilt. Finishing off his soup, Blank grabbed both now empty cans and walked to the sink, tossing them in before returning to Scin's side. 
    Lifting one edge of the quilt, Blank slid beneath the tattered covers and wrapped his arms around his resting companion, holding him close as he did his best to share his heat and resting his head upon his chest. Fear began to grasp at his heart as he felt as though the soup did little to help, his brother still trembling within his arms. Clutching at his Scin's shirt, Blank slowly lifted his head to stare at his brother's distressed face, the discomfort in his expression doing nothing to hide the gravity of his situation.
    "Why? Why is nothing working?" Blank stared hopelessly at Scin's face, his heart sinking into an abyss of deep despair at the realization that all of his efforts were in vain. Wracking his brain for any possible idea to save his brother, a single thought popped into his head, but almost immediately pushed it aside. He couldn't possibly go through with it. What would Scin say or think of him? Would he be okay with saving his brother's life at the cost of losing him as a friend? The more he thought, the less he began to care about what the possible consequences might be. His brother had always been there for him, and there was no way in hell he was going to let him down in his hour of greatest and most dire need.
    Working his hand down Scin's vest, he began to slowly undo the buttons holding it closed, the sides of the garment falling away as the final button was released from its holding. Feeling Blank's efforts on his clothing, Scin weakly turned his head to gaze at Blank's determined features, an inquisitive look of confusion and uncertainty on his face. Blank paid the sudden attention no mind as he continued to work away at Scin's top, his shirt already undone before his hand lowers to the waist of his pants.
    "B-brother...what are you doing?"
    "Shhh. It's gonna be okay" Pulling the now loosened clothes from Scin's limp and trembling body, Blank gently places them to the side in a neat pile before stepping out from beneath the quilt, standing and facing his now dumbstruck sibling. Nervously casting his gaze to the side with a shy blush filling his cheeks, Blank begins to lift his tank top from his body, dropping it beside Scin's pile of clothing. Reaching his hands back down, he takes a hold of the hem of his striped shirt, lifting it up and over his head, exposing his bare torso to the cold, as well as his increasingly flustered companion. Slowly, Blank turns around to face away from Scin's fixated gaze, kicking off his boots before undoing his own pants, slowly pulling them down along with his underwear and tossing them aside as well. Watching the show going on in front of him, Scin could not help but stare in disbelief as he watched his brother strip, his eyes glued to the plush roundness of his brother's now naked rear, as well as the dainty sack hanging between his legs. With almost teasing slowness, Blank turns back to face Scin, his right hand attempting to cover his member as he stands there for several moments, bashfully turning his gaze from Scin to the floor with bright red cheeks. Scin stared awestruck at his brother's nude form, his heart racing wildly in his chest as Blank began to crawl back beneath the covers, heart all but stopping when he feels the younger sibling craw on top of him. Still unable to comprehend just what was going on, Scin was at a loss for words, he could not speak to voice any interjection, his mind was swimming in this impossible, yet somehow current, situation. "Don't worry, you don't have to do anything. Save your strength, big brother, and let me do all the work..." 
    Slipping between the black-furred sibling's legs, Blank took Scin's manhood into his eager hands, the oddly colored member mirroring the blue of his eyes. Softly closing his eyes, he leans in and teases the bottom of the shaft with his tongue, the taste is foreign and alien to him, but not unpleasant. Working his tongue from the base to the head of the member he now held in his hand, he took its length into his mouth, slowly bobbing his head and smiling internally as he hears Scin let out a pleasured moan. Happily working his head along his beloved brother's stiffening cock, Blank swirls his tongue around its shaft, savoring the flavor and softly humming, the vibrations causing Scin to bite down on his lower lip. Reaching his hand upward, he tenderly cups the older siblings testicles in his palm, rubbing and massaging them gently as he feels their weight in his eager hand, fighting the urge to chuckle at the sudden feeling of his companion weakly bucking his hips into his mouth. Giving the now fully erect member a final, sensual lick, he releases it from the cavern of his welcoming maw and crawls back up to gaze lovingly into Scin's radiant eyes, a shy yet mischievous smile on his face. Scin's heart races furiously in his chest as he meets his younger brother's gaze, lifting his hands to cup his cheeks in his hands, pulling him in for a passionate kiss, tongues entwining in the throes of lust and desire, Blank's eyes open wide at the unexpectedly returned affection. Scin's breath becomes hot and heavy as his arms lower to lovingly grope at Blank's soft, well-rounded rear, earning him a giddy chuckle and teasing bite to his lip. Easing himself into an upward position, Scin watches as Blank straddles his lap, his own member standing stiff in arousal. 
    "I love you, little brother."
    "I love you too, big bro..." Reaching back, Blank takes his beloved sibling's stiff manhood in hand and leans forward, aligning it with his rear entrance before slowly lowering himself down and letting out a breathy moan as he feels it plunging into the tight tunnel of his insides, Scin giving a pleasured hiss between gritted teeth at the grip on his cock. Blank gives a lusty grin, biting down on his lower lip and begins to gently bounce on his lap, gasping at the sensation of his brother's man meat caressing his insides and grinding against his inner walls. Scin runs his hands along his sibling's sides, taking in his sensual form before letting them rest on his waist, his grip tightening with each stroke of his member. "Oh fuck...it feels even better than I imagined..." Blank says in a dream-like voice, the pleasure obvious in his tone as he continues riding his loving brother, his own member bouncing freely with his efforts. Unwilling to let the younger canine do all the work, Scin raises his hand and brings it down on Blank's exposed ass with a sharp swat, a loud crack echoing through the room and heightening the pair's arousal, a sudden cry of pain and pleasure tearing through Blank's lips. "D-don't stop, big brother...punish me like the naughty little slut I am." Once more, Scin's hand raises menacingly into the air, coming down in a swift arc and delivering a punishing blow to Blank's rear, the surface beginning to sting with the abuse as Blank yet again cries out. Gripping his brother's rear tight, Scin begins to gently buck his hips in time with Blank's efforts, the sound of flesh colliding softly with flesh filling the air in a lewd cacophony of impassioned slapping and moans. Blank leans in and firmly plants his lips against Scin's, resuming their earlier kiss with greater passion and fervor, tongues caressing one another in the heated exchange while Blank continued to bounce on the stiff, blue member. Wrapping one arm around his waist, and another around his back, Scin rolls with Blank in his arms until the punkish teen is on his back, staring up into Scin's eyes with a startled expression. Scin simply gives a smile before breaking the kiss and moving his mouth down to Blank's neck, kissing it tenderly as he starts to thrust himself into his tight passage, shifting one arm to grasp at Blank's leg, and planting the other firmly on the ground beneath, steadying himself as he plunges deep into his brother's warm and welcoming depths. Blank's arms wrap around Scin's back, clutching desperately at his pitch-black fur, doing his best to pull him closer out of a deep need and longing to feel him filling him entirely, ramming into his most sensitive depths. The feeling of his brother's grip at his back brings a smile to Scin's face, driving him to move faster and give Blank's rear another teasing swat, causing him to bite down on the older sibling's shoulder and rake his nails across his back. "D-don't stop. Fuck me harder, big brother!" More than happy and willing to oblige, Scin slowly pulls himself out of Blank's constricting passage until only the head of his throbbing cock is nestled within, giving a devious grin before ramming the entirety of his length back into his tight ass in a single powerful thrust, Blank's eyes going wide as a silent scream tears its way out of his throat. Sacrificing speed for power, Scin thrusts with intense hip smacking force, Blank's member bouncing wildly with each punishing impact. Lost in his passion, Blank greedily wraps his legs around Scin's waist, holding him as close as he can as his beloved big brother pumps away at his eager rear. Feeling the shifted presence of Blank's legs, Scin begins to slowly thrust faster and faster, the force of each movement barely even shifting in his lust-fueled haze, moaning out before clamping his jaws down on Blank's shoulder, earning him a sensual groan for his efforts. 
    "I...I'm getting close, big bro..." The words are breathy and little more than passionate whispers as Blank feels his climax building.
    "Not yet..." Scin nearly growls with primal need upon hearing his younger sibling's words, pushing himself up onto his knees, turning and positioning Blank onto his hands and knees, the quilt draped loosely on his shoulders. Reaching forward, Scin grabs Blank's right shoulder with his right hand, his left hand gripping tightly onto his left hip, nails digging into the tender flesh beneath his cream-colored fur. Blank's eyes nearly roll into the back of his head in pure unbridled sexual pleasure as Scin violently hammers himself into his plush ass, his tail wrapping possessively around Scin's waist, the tip twitching wildly.  Scin grits his teeth as he begins to feel his own orgasm start to slowly build, focusing on the task at hand and wanting nothing more than to give his little brother the ride of a lifetime. Removing his hand from Blank's hip, Scin lowers his hand, bringing it around to his companion's front, taking his neglected and rock hard cock into his grasp, fingers gently curling around its shaft. Feeling the strange and new sensation of his brother's hand around his manhood, Blank claws at the floor below, his claws leaving small streaks in the wood as he does his best to hold on, wanting nothing more than to finish with the man he had come to love so very deeply and dearly.  Noticing the efforts of his energetic partner, Scin started to lovingly stroke his length, trying his hardest to match his movements with the pace of his thrusts, a gasp followed by a trembling moan slipped from Blank's parted lips, the sound of which brought a smile to Scin's face. The hand on Blank's right shoulder shifts, running along his shoulder and planting itself in his hair, a thick patch being gripped in Scin's now forceful fist. Arching his back into the dominating grasp, his head tilts upward as a multitude of heavy breaths fills the air, the assault of sensations wracking his body with equal parts pain and pleasure. 
    "B-big brother. I-I don't know how much longer I can hold on!" Feeling himself teetering on the edge of his climax, Blank calls out to his brother in a desperate bid to for release, his cock twitching in Scin's grasp.
    "I'm a-almost there, little brother. I-I'm gonna cum!" His own climax quickly approaching the point of no return, Scin begins to thrust wildly into Blank's tight passage. The pressure of his impending orgasm causes him to tighten his grip, unconsciously tugging at Blank's pink-colored locks.
    "P-please, big brother...cum in me! Fill me up with your hot cum!"
    At the sound of his younger sibling's pleading words, Scin's thrusts became frantic and heavy, his eyes clenched tightly shut as he feels himself going over the edge. With a few final thrusts, he rams himself deep inside Blank's soft, fuckable ass and lets out a loud, animalistic groan as he unloads jet after sticky jet of thick seed, painting Blank's insides with his white-hot alabaster cream. The sensation of being filled pushes Blank past his limits, crying out his beloved brother's name as he fires off several thick spurts of his own hot cum all over the floor beneath him, long white streaks staining the wooden boards. Collapsing onto the floor, Scin carries Blank down with him, holding him tight to his chest, before planting several soft and love-filled kisses along his neck, bringing a bright blush to the spunky sibling's cheeks. Feelings the softening member slipping from his rear, Blank turns to face Scin and presses his lips to those of his beloved brother, wrapping his own arms around him and holding him close, basking in the afterglow.
    "Glad to see my idea did the trick." Blank chuckled as he gazed longingly into those bright blue eyes, like radiant oceans of shimmering sapphire floating amidst an endless void.
    "As am I, brother. Though I must admit, I can not say that I was expecting it." Scin returned his brother's mirthful chuckle and smiled happily. Though initially shocked by his brother's sudden advancements, he was more than grateful to know that he had his love.
    "I've...I've had feelings for you for a long time now, and I just never knew what to say, or what to do to show you just how I feel. When I thought you were..." A soft and saddened sigh escaped Blank's throat, his eyes downcast. "When I thought you were going to die...I didn't want those things to be left unsaid. I didn't want to lose you, and I'm sorry for just jumping you like that." Scin let out a gentle sigh of his own and slowly shook his head.
    "You needn't apologize for anything, little brother. Truth be told," Leaning in, Scin presses his lips passionately to Blank's, letting them linger there for several moments before reluctantly pulling away. "I love you too."
    The next morning, a loud and piercing creak fills the near winter air as the old and rusted hinge of the cabin door grinds against itself, the shrill cry of the opening door sending a chill up Blank's spine once again. Crossing the threshold of the decrepit cabin, Blank walks out with a smile on his face and Scin's hand lovingly holding his own.
