"Sure." Legosi watched as Dom and Kai lowered themselves onto it. "Want to do anything in particular or are we just hanging out?"
                          
	"Well...All night, I've been waiting to ask you...What happened to your antlers, Louis? There's no way they wouldn't be back by now," said Dom.
                          
	The deer blinked. "Ah..."
                          
	Legosi swallowed. This story didn't get any easier to tell.
                          
	"Dear, will you pull out the futon so we can sit on it?"
                          
	"Uh, okay."
                          
	The wolf hauled the thing out, making sure the blanket covered the bloodstain once it was unfurled.
                          
	The couple sat down, Louis exhaling. "Ugh...We just went over this with Haru yesterday."
                          
	Legosi laid his head in the deer's lap. "Well, here's what happened..."
                          
=^.^=
                          
Dom and Kai's beak and mouth hung open, respectively, after the tale had finished, and Louis hadn't even gotten into anything about Ichi.
                          
	"That's...wow..." the bird blinked. "I'm sorry that happened to you, guys."
                          
	Louis raised a hand. "We've heard that enough. Like I keep saying, it's over now."
                          
	Kai leaned forward. "Well, not really. I'm glad to hear about your dad and him paying for therapy, though. Just be mindful of each other and talk!" 
                          
	Legosi chuckled at being lectured by the mongoose. "We are. We don't keep secrets from each other anymore."
                          
	"Yeah..." Louis thought for a moment. "See Kai! You aren't the only one with issues!"
                          
	"Yeah..." Kai looked down at his feet. "It's hard having to hear a couple like you go through something like that. One of you should have texted me, or something."
                          
	"What could you have done?"
                          
	The mongoose flinched. "I dunno! We're...friends..."
                          
	"I just...didn't think of it, honestly," Louis shook his head. "There was a lot going on." His head moved and he looked down at his husband.
                          
	"I didn't talk to anyone except Sebun-san, our neighbor, and Pina, who came over to check on me."
                          
	The deer's hand moved to stroke his cheek. "So, yeah, therapy is what's next for the both of us."
                          
	"That's good." Kai snuggled up to Dom. "Good to see you both willing to get help."
                          
	"You got pretty sensitive back there at the spring, Kai," Louis said.
                          
	Kai waved him off. "Yeah, yeah, I know."
                          
	"No, no. It's ok. I just...I'm glad you trust us enough to be vulnerable like that."
                          
	The mongoose fiddled with his boyfriend's arm feathers. "I dunno, I guess it had something to do with the relaxation and us being all naked and open like that..."
                          
	"Now you know why me and Legosi do it almost any time we can. Even after you leave." At this, Legosi got a little deer smile.
                          
	The wolf reached up and traced his thumb across it. "Well, there are other reasons we like being nude for each other."
                          
	Kai coughed. "Legosi? Didn't expect you to make a comment like that..."
                          
	Legosi turned to him with his ears pinned. "I mean...we do it because we think each other's body is beautiful..."
                          
	"More than beautiful..." Louis mumbled.
                          
	Kai turned to Dom. "Um, that was the first time I saw your tail feathers. They were...gorgeous."
