It was lucky that James had a coating of fur around his face and indeed the rest of his body too, for amongst the clothing that he'd treated himself to was an outfit resembling that of the famous story from a time gone by, Little Red Riding Hood, and the pictures racing through his mind had served to make him blush heavily. The idea that had formed was one that he had thought about before, and the more he had turned it over in his mind, the more he'd wanted to bring it to life for his and Flash's display and enjoyment. Despite attracting very odd stares when he'd taken the outfit into the changing rooms, he wore a playful smile as he made his walk home with his bags, and it wouldn't be long before he'd get to meet Flash again.

Sure enough, when he welcomed Flash in that evening, it wasn't long before friendly conversation morphed into their unique brand of delights that took them to places they could never travel to alone. After they'd shared an enthralling, captivating kiss on the sofa, James showed him a sly smile as they softly pulled away from each other.

"Flash," simpered James, "I have a little surprise for you, sweetie."

"Let's see what you've got, my little skunker." crooned Flash, meeting eyes as James headed into the kitchen. "I know you won't disappoint me."

"I'll be right back." he chimed. And just a moment later, he returned donning from head to toe the outfit of robes that he had bought that day. With the clothing of shades of red and white, and a cape that ran from his head down to his tail, he looked just like...

"Little Red Riding Skunk." James introduced himself, grinning suggestively, before Flash rose from the sofa, arms outstretched as a wide smile crossed his features. As his love slowly advanced, his heartbeat began to speed up, and it wasn't long before flickering colours began to cloud his thoughts in ways he'd felt only in these times.

"And where might you be heading, little one?" said Flash huskily with a wide smile, his thick and bushy tail moving in perfect rhythm with James'.

"I'm on my way to my granny's, wolfie." replied James suggestively, Flash responding with a lick of his lips and a mocking salivation, to which James feigned an expression of fear.

"Delightful." replied Flash. "I already ate your grandma...and now I need some dessert!" And in the motion he was more than ready for, Flash surged for him with his claws exposed, grabbing hold of him with a quite menacing look in his eyes with a gesture that could only mean one thing - captivation of the kind they loved most. It was just like the story was opening out before them, in which they were its lead characters in a retelling of the widely known tale. History would be retold as James was knocked off his feet, Flash glaring at him with passion and edacity.

"You've got me!" said James mockingly, trying feebly to push him away. "What's the big bad skunkie gonna do with me?"

This piece was made by DT-Fox on commission for two great friends of mine, EclairTalon and ReokuKurosai. The awakening of an idea that had been put to sleep long before brings the two skunks a delightful sensing of where it can take their imaginations - in the way they know best and love most, of course. ^_^ Thanks go to both of you for the friendships you've rewarded me with, and my life has been enriched for having known you!

Flash belongs to EclairTalon.
James belongs to ReokuKurosai.
