Consciousness crept slowly back to the bear. Benjamin had fallen asleep quite unexpectedly on the lounge bench. Sure, it was comfortable but, as his memory began to come back online it filled in a wider context. First was the booze, his tongue was dry and head a bit fuzzy even as sleep was leaving. Next was the tension of the conversation ‘Oh! the kid’ his mind snapped back in place a bit quicker. The cub had been rubbing his foot paws and that coupled with the rest of the day had left the bear exhausted. He sat up on the bench and looked about but no hyena. His stomach knotted up, and given his size that was no small issue. In a short moment his mind managed to cobble together all manner of scenarios where the boy was dead. Ben stood and looked around again still nothing.
As if on que the grey furred cub walked in from the lower-level access holding a nutrition bar. Seeing the captain awake he smiled and crossed the cabin with a quickened pace. Dustin chomped down on the bar and held it up for inspection. “Sorry got hungry so I went to get some of my stash!” the words were proud as if referencing his preparedness somehow excused sneaking on a ship. Worse now Ben recognized the wrapper as the same kind he had found littering his private hold. He narrowed his gaze on the cub trying to be intimidating.  “I can gecha one if ya want.” It was a statement not a question and clearly the bear had not been intimidating enough. Yeshin had always said he looked more like a teddy bear, maybe once the younger lion came on, HE could scare the cub straight. 
For now, the bear put a hefty paw on the tan mohawk like head fur of the cub and slid him out of the way clearing a path to the kitchenet. There he started up the food prep system connected to the dried food stuffs supply. Shortly a bowl of heated noodles and clearly not fresh vegetables was produced. Sitting like an island on the sea of steaming both was a cake of smoked salmon. The boy’s eyes grew wide, a day of eating nutrition bars had not hit the spot though, he took another bite. Ben carried the bowl back to the table as a reminder that he had the food and was the one calling the shots. Next to Dustin he stopped and looked down at the cub barley topping out at crotch height. 
“Tomorrow we’ll start going around the ship to do the check list and by the time that’s done I’m sure your homework will have arrived.” green eyes looked into bens own blue ones questioningly. The boy shifted from self-satisfied to unbelieving before grinning again.
“Aww come on Papa Bear you don’t have to kid with me now, they aren't on the comms!”  he took a more casual stance and carried on “ its just us now, you know a couple a dudes on the road, no girls or parents in the way.” he balled one paw into a fist and the other gently around the dry bar of granola before playfully punching Ben’s hips “We can hang out, play games, pound some brews” In his thirty years the ursine man had heard plenty of bullshit and now he heard it falling from this cub’s maw. These were clearly not Dustin’s own words, he’d just watched too many earth-based road trip movies. However, something lewd crossed his mind. He was stuck with a cub that was indebted to him and discredited as a sneak to the dock authorities. On top of that only half of the maintenance log needed to be completed and only by the END of tomorrow. 
He stepped away from the cub’s mock assault and set his bowl down making another trip- to retrieve the tequila along with two shot glasses. “Ok, you want the full experience let's start here” Bear paws daintily held and filled the glasses. The clear liquid caught the hyena’s full attention.
“Really?!” 
“yeah” Dustin moved to take the glass but was stopped by the free paw. “Throw it back and don’t spit it out or else” The cub swallowed hard before nodding this time Ben had been just threatening enough.
In time the glasses had been emptied, refilled, and emptied again. The pleasant buzz had once more found Ben’s head but he had perhaps miscalculated with Dustin. Figuring the boy wouldn’t keep the first shot down or that the second would knock him out Benjamin had not anticipated that instead Dustin would pour out his life story. Which as had been stated now more than three times, was only eleven years going on twelve. He lived with his mom and three sisters in a part of the station that put him in a small school with no boys his age and loved going to the docks to watch the ships but the boys there didn’t want to play with him since he wasn’t cool enough and this trip was definitely gonna get them to think he was cool woooooo. The boy now rolled on the ground amused at his own actions. The bear rolled his eyes and tossed another shot back, this time the boy was left out. There was no need to further loosen the cub’s lips as he was currently lost in a fit of laughter. 
Ben looked him over grey spotted fur, tan head fur, a red tee shirt with some character on it he did not recognize and tan cargo shorts that were creeping down his hips. ‘Wait what?’ his mind did a double take going back over that last thought. Finally, he looked back at the cub on the ground who was actively mooning him. 
“Admit it you want it again!” the hyena teased. Ben chuckled, Dustin was drunk and this was getting funny. When he stood up both pants and underwear fell to his knees. He shook his hips making the small cock bounce from side to side, laughing at himself as much as the bear’s reaction before sitting down and laying back. Ben saw an opprotunity here to be naughty. He stood from the comfortable bench and grasped the zipper to the flight suit. In his chest the bear’s heart was beating like crazy and his paw felt vaguely numb. He pulled it down to the crotch letting his own manhood leave the constricting fabric. With practiced coordination Ben was able to make the appendage twirl in a circle like the blades of an old earth helicopter. 
From the floor the hyena boy looked on in amazement. Noticeably the cub’s dick was a bit larger and a little stiff. Drunkenly he stood and sidled up next to the bear to better copy his movements. Before long both were engaged in the lewd dance and both laughed like idiots. Soon enough however the laughing quieted and as Ben looked down next to him the cub was laying on the deck.
 “You keep moving” Dustin stated before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.
The captain looked down at him finally silent on the floor. He zipped up and crouched over the cub, scooping him up and laying him on the bench seat of the lounge. He grinned as the small cock stood straight up and guessed the excitement had done the trick but a new question presented itself. How far had he come into puberty. Ben remembered the first time he had cum and that was at ten years so could this kid? He reached out two brown furred fingers as gently as he had with the shot glasses and stroked. In his ears his pulse roared as he took advantage of the unconscious cub, his own groin coming to life. It didn’t take long before the small appendaged tensed and the balls clenched. A small dribble of white leaked from the tip and the lithe hips shook. Satisfied the bear pulled his underwear up to where they belonged and snorted as a wet stain appeared on the grey cloth, spreading as some more leaked out. ‘well that’s what you get kid fer thinking you can drink with the big boys’ he thought and figured the pants could come off. 
With as much precision as the inebriated bear could Ben tugged the shorts off and slung them like a hand towel over his shoulder. If this cub was half as horny as he had been at his age this would be one hell of a haul. He took another leak and considered jerking off on the boy’s underwear to freak him out but the alcohol had decided otherwise and now was bed time. He collapsed in the bed the door closing and leaving him in darkness. 
Sleep was different drunk. Clippy, like a show streaming from a poor network connection in dock. Ben was on Hyperion. In the cargo bay door stood the familiar form of the dock master. She smiled apologetically and touched his face. “yeah cant believe the calf got past us” Benjamin couldn’t see the dock beyond the door because of the bright lights emanating from the outside. “Maybe I could buy us drinks” she gestured to the shot glasses at the bar and the bear was glad for it. The familiar dry mouth from a night of drinking was all he got from the beverage but the dock master had her hefty paw on his suit zipper. The other touched his nipple through the fabric. He was hard, and naked. She pushed him down into his chair in the cockpit. 
Under her own mechanics uniform was a powerful body. Toned muscles, broad shoulders, and soft pink flesh where her fine pubic hairs gave way to closed lips. She held him in place smiling down at her captive bear. He ached for this it had been so long now and she was beautiful. Suddenly he felt his bladder protest but Ben wasn’t about to walk away from this chance. She set one leg on the left of the chair and lifted the other to trap him in the seat. He reached up to feel the curve and weight of her breasts and knew that they were just as he liked. “Just lay back papa bear” from the doorway to his bedroom they were now joined by a smaller figure. Dustin was there watching though the dock master seemingly saw nothing but the captain she was straddling on the bed.
Ben was oddly horrified by the kid’s presence and thought it should stop, plus he had to pee, but on the tip of his cock he could feel the heat of her body. And as the boy approached, he could feel her shift, lowering. There in the cargo bay he lay on a table, dock master poised to take him and Dustin rubbing his nipple. In the light of the bay door, he now saw a donkey, hyena woman, a ferret and his boss, and Yeshin all watching the display. The heat of the bovine sex surrounded his cock and Ben was lost in the sensation of needing to pee.
On the bed he sat up, no longer pinned down. Under his blanket the short but girthy ursine dick was solid and aching for release, but then so was his bladder. “Guess I cant drink with the big boys either”
