Something broke the silence of the boy’s sleep though he couldn’t quite place it. The noise was familiar and not scary but it was annoying to be woken up. Especially given how his head pounded. His eyes cracked enough to look out, the sound was still there but it was fading. The room was still the lounge of the cargo ship, though dimly lit, so at least his adventure had not been a dream. The sound was gone and then there was a burp. By his head the hulking figure of the bear captain lumbered past. Exiting the toilet and making a bee line for his bedroom, if he noticed the hyena peeking up, he made no indication. The boy was suddenly aware that, once more, the large fur was naked. The stubby tail of the bear sat just at the tip of his butt crack and both cheeks seemed to jiggle just a bit with each step. Once he passed into the room the door shut and Dustin was once more unsupervised on a spaceship.

He crawled off the bench, head still swimming from the drinks, and as he did some memory tried to come forward though it was confusing and out of order. On shaky paws he looked about the empty room and wondered what he should do first. PEE was the answer his bladder shouted up to the brain even if it was a bit slow to understand. He turned his head and his vision was slow to go with it. Dustin giggled at the light feeling in his body playing for a moment before heading into the bathroom.

 This time the boy peed into the bowl of the toilet unit finally getting a good view of just how large it was. The toilet in his own home was more appropriate for the size of a hyena of most ages. Even in his school he’d never encountered the larger accommodations for bigger furs but this was definitely a grade maybe two up. It was like peeing into a bucket.  

He finished and pulled the grey boxerbriefs back up but this time saw something. Where the tip of his wiener came up against the fabric a dark spot was forming, nothing new, but there was also a faint stain that had dried on. He could feel a tumble of embarrassment in the pit of his stomach. Had he peed himself in front of the bear? The memory of peeing surfaced but he couldn’t pin down when. Then his bits twitched and he found himself getting stiff. The strange pinch he’d felt but why didn’t he see anything? The boy’s head hurt and he gave up thinking now he was more tired. He cuddled up to a pillow on the lounge bench and drifted off again.

The next time Dusty’s eyes opened the room was flooded with light and sounds...and smells? Mmmm food smells. The screen displayed a news program and food station had produced some warm and appealing bowls. Then came a pounding. The boy’s ears flattened and he winced at the ache in his head. A resin glass was klunked down on the table by a big bear paw. It held a fizzing drink and in the other paw was a now empty glass. 

“Drink up cub unless you’re into pain.” Benjamin stated plainly though his expression was sympathetic. 

He took the glass and greedily gulped the drink down. As the captain walked to the kitchenette, he could sense the throbbing fade and, by the time a steaming bowl of broth was placed on the table to accompany the glass, it was nearly gone all together.

“What was that!?” he asked then sniffed the savory broth with noodles “And what’s this!”

Ben sat with his own portion of the meal and a grinned at the young boy. “pho, smoked salmon pho, my favorite.” Dusty watched the bear’s large paws handle the delicate wooden chop sticks to lift out the thin noodles and slurp them down. “This is good but the best comes from a small shop back on Luna. I go there every time I visit. 

The hyena boy did his best to use the chopsticks that had been placed on the table with the food. It wasn’t elegant but soon some of the noodles did make it into his maw. And chin, and paws and lap. But what made it in was amazing. The food was warm and filling in ways he hadn’t realized he needed. The noodles were filling an empty spot in his tummy and the warm broth soothed additional aches. He ate the food within minutes slowed only by his inexperience with the utensils. 

“That was sooooooooo good!” the boy leaned back on the bench patting his stuffed belly. 

“Good good” was Benjamin’s response while cleaning up the breakfast “better be full cause we got work to do today!” he laughed at the cub who wilted at the prospect. 

“You mean you were serious about that?” he whined watching the bear tug at the flight suit that he had surprisingly been wearing since the boy had come to. 

“Hey you wanted to be on a starship well...here it is.” He gestured wide about the room “Now we gotta keep it flying so we don’t die”

The rest of the day was monotonous work. Mostly they followed a check list that had to be submitted. The living spaces of the ship were laid out with decorative touches to make them homier for those occupying the vessel full time but the tech decks were all about practicality. The lights were bright, the walls covered in access panels, and in the center of it all was the massive fusion generator powering the whole thing. The captain would point to a panel and Dusty would open it to test the components. The engine room was warmer than the rest of the ship, the up and down on the ladders and crossing the room left both furs sweating. curiously the hyena had to admit the labor wasn’t really intense so sweating seemed out of place. 

At one of the high up panels the Dusty tried to reach for the access button but was well below it. The bear stepped in close to reach it instead.

“Look out little man” He said before smooshing him against the wall. “Hows the view down there?” he asked chuckling. Dusty couldn't answer as his face was firmly planted in the oversized thighs. Regardless the boy tried to speak mumbling out a protest. He took his time doing whatever needed to be done in the system keeping the boy in place.

“Ah peace and quiet this is how I get Yeshin to shut up too” a hefty paw clapped the panel shut and Ben stepped away releasing the pup, who proceeded to gasp for air. 

“Cant you watch your fat bu-ass!” he was pleased with himself for using a curse word, after all it wasn’t like the captain could punish him, he wasn’t his mom. The comment did seem to give the bear pause, but when he looked down at the pup Dusty was made aware of just how big the older fur was. 

“You talk big for someone ASS height” Ass had been emphasized as if to say ‘you clearly aren’t good at cursing don’t try’. He then shifted his weight to one side and grunted. “Break time cub” he walked away leaving Dustin confused until the smell reached his nose. 

“ugh that’s gross man!!!” he shouted down the hall.

Back in the lounge Dusty found the bear sitting on the bench drinking coffee. He had the flight suit opened and the sleeves tied around his waist. The boy huffed not wanting to be out done. He grinned toothily at the captain as a plan for revenge came to mind. The cub nimbly jumped on to the bench and ran up to the bear who continued to sip the hot drink. He turned and lifted his tail to return the favor. He scrunched up his face pushing to make it loud and smelly, that would teach the oversized bully not to mess with him. Ben quirked an eye brow but there seemed to be nothing happening. Then came dread. He felt something shift and suddenly tensed up.

“Tell me you didn’t just shit yourself cub” was the bear’s flat response to the whole situation. Dusty jumped down and made a bee line for the bathroom. He pulled his shorts down to his ankles and tried to get onto the large toilet but couldn’t quite do it.

“Why is this so big!” he shouted in a desperate panic. From the doorway the bear crossed his arms and chuckled.

“It probably has to do with the size of my ass.” he shook his hips to emphasize. Now Dusty could see it generally larger furs put up with smaller toilets but here the captain had the chance to get one never meant for a hyena let alone a hyena pup. His stomach groaned a bit and cramps made it clear he didn’t have long before he was just gonna poop on the floor. The Bear clearly had other plans as the floor fell away and he was lifted by large paws under his arms. His shorts slipped off his feet as he was hoisted into position over the pot. 

Being naked in front of the captain felt different this time. The first time he had been scared and the second time he’d been weirdly happy with all the booze but now he felt vulnerable. He could feel his face burning with a blush and had the impulse to cover himself with his paws, though that was not possible with the huge brown bear’s arms in the way. The captain was looking down at him. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest and his maw went dry. 

“You gonna go or what” he asked. The bear’s gaze was not on his eyes rather something lower ‘was he watching to see me poop’ the boy thought. It didn’t matter as he couldn’t seem to go despite his butt feeling so heavy. It was like being in an uncomfortable public restroom, like the ones on the far end of the station where he wasn’t really supposed to go. Then again, they may have had gaps in the stall doors but being held by someone and told to go was a first. He felt his bladder decide it would take a crack at it and Dusty clenched tighter. 
“Um well I would but ….i think I might pee like on you if I try maybe we could pull over at a restarea?” the bear took a moment to process this information before rolling his eyes. The captain’s left paw moved to the scruff of his neck and the tee-shirt over it freeing the other while keeping the pup in the air. To his shock and horror, the fingers on the freed paw pinched the end of his wiener. 

“Good to go. Get to it” the bear looking down at him ginned as he said it. Dusty almost laughed but was cut off by a sensation in his groin. He was getting stiff and in front of another fur. Had he paid better attention in language class Dusty may have had better words to describe the feeling but essentially he was dying of embarrassment. He didn’t really understand it but knew being naked was naughty thgough it could be fun. On the other paw getting a stiffy when someone was looking was the absolute worst tv, games, and playground wisdom made that much clear. The heavy feeling in his lower body was being replaced with a strange tugging on his tummy. It felt so good and now the feeling stretched to his bits, the hardening wiener tingled where the bear was making contact. The mix of so many feelings at once left the boy reeling and too his surprise a moan squeaked from his maw.

Ben seemed taken aback for a moment but then ginned, this time more deviously. The fingers tugged on his peepee ‘wiener’ he corrected his thought. The bear was tugging on his WIENER and it felt amazing. It was crazy how familiar the motion was and how alien the captain’s touch could be. The pace was picking up and dusty found his toes flexing with the pleasure something was building up. There it was again the need to pee but before the pup could say anything his hips started to shake and he clenched as if trying to pee harder. A dribble of clear juice crested the tip of his peepee and ran down on the brown fingers now only gently massaging him.

“What was that?” moaned the flushed faced hyena who was slowly relaxing over the open bowl. 

“You might call it a happy ending” the bear’s grin had reformed into a cocky smirk. Dusty didn’t know exactly what a happy ending was supposed to be but did know it was naughty, which seemed to track with what had just happened. His stomach gurgled and once more the boy blushed as his bowels emptied into the toilet, he guessed the bear had a plan after all. The poop stopped and the cub was lowered to the deck to stand on his own feet again. “Looks like we made it cub. Getchur self cleaned up, break times just about up and we ain’t got time to fuck around” with that the large man had left Dusty alone and half naked in the bathroom.  At least he hadn’t pooped himself the hyena considered but somehow this seemed only slightly less humiliating.
