In preparation for seeing Walter, I put my oversized t-shirt back on, although Russet was clearly turned on with the knowledge I was still bare-assed underneath. Russet had left his shirt on and pulled up his pajama pants and underwear since I'd cleaned the latter with my magic.

I used Russet's connection with Walter to find him, then sent him a message through telepathy. "Wally, Russ wants you to come over. Is now a good time?"

I sensed shock and panic, then confusion. It took him a good minute to figure out how to reply, then he said, "You could have called me with a phone, you know."

"I wasn't thinking that way because you might not have answered. Anyway, is anything happening where you can't leave? Russet really misses you and you two need to talk."

Walter was quiet for a moment. "I miss him so much too, but I am at a gala hosted by the Duchess of Northwolf in another country. I technically can't leave that easily."

"Well, I can bring you here in an instant, so grab your things, say goodbye to the people you need to, and then I will do it."

"How!" he exclaimed. "Telepathy and now teleportation? What are you, a wizard?"

I giggled, which made Russet a bit jealous. He hugged my waist and kissed my cheek. I returned his quick peck as I replied, "Dragon, remember? Well, I'm actually a hybrid dragon. You saw that when you came over awhile back. But anyway, I have an unmeasurable amount of mana, which makes my magic super strong."

"Geez, you're amazing as always." replied Walter, then he chuckled. "Give me about ten minutes. Should I speak in my mind when I'm ready?"

"Yes, I'll leave the link open."

"Thank you, Anwyll."

I chuckled. "Don't thank me yet, Wally. See you soon."

Russet kissed the tips of my wolf ears when I hugged his waist. "When is he coming?"

"Soon, in about ten minutes. He's currently in another country right now at a fancy gala."

"Do you think he met someone there?"

My eyebrows shot up and I sat back to look at his troubled expression. "Russ, Wally isn't that sort of person and you know that all too well. And, if you mean in the general sense, I'm sure he met a good hundred people. But he probably doesn't remember anyone's name because he was so worried about you."

Russet's beautiful russet-brown eyes gleamed as my hands cupped his cheeks. "You really think so?" he asked softly.

I nodded with a big grin. "Absolutely!"

"Did he say anything about me?"

"He'd missed you so much, Russ. How long had it been since you last saw him?"

Russet rubbed the back of his neck. "W-well, almost two weeks?"

My eyebrows scrunched. "Russ, you said you'd gone out for a date with him a week ago."

Russet's face paled and he couldn't meet my eyes. I sighed softly and kissed his cheeks. "I'm so sorry, Russ. I have been neglecting you so much, since I'd assumed that all would go well with Wally."

"You're not mad at me for lying?"

I pouted and poked his nose. "I'm annoyed, but I'm not mad. I can understand why you hid it from me, but please don't do it again in the future, okay? As much as I love you, you are still part of this family here. And everyone is going to be worried if you don't share things with them, too. So please don't bottle it up anymore, Russ. This is your home. Regardless of where you move to, if you ever move, this will be your home base. And even if this house no longer exists, your home is with me and the rest of my beloveds—our family."

Russet firmly hugged my midsection and buried his face in the crook of my neck. I squeezed his head and shoulders, my tail wiggling on the bed behind me. I had a feeling that Russet's tail was doing a similar thing behind him as well.

It was about five minutes after that when I got the "ready to go" message from Walter. I kept our connection open, maintaining and stabilizing Russet's connection with Walter, then visualized my friend here. In an instant, Walter appeared and held his mouth, looking like he was about to vomit all over his fancy suit.

"Sorry about that. I should have warned you that teleportation causes motion sickness." I said softly, patting the bed as Russet hopped off it and hurried to his boyfriend's side.

Walter held his head and his mouth at the same time, then convulsed for a second as Russet neared him. It was obvious to me that Walter felt like he was going to vomit on his boyfriend, which is why he quickly swung away from Russet. My poor bunny Emerged thought it was for another reason, though.

"Wally," I said, directing my magic to remove his motion sickness.

He swallowed thickly and inhaled deeply, then quietly thanked me. Walter grabbed Russet before the rabbit Emerged could back away, then buried his face in Russet's shoulder.

"I missed you..." he breathed. "I missed you so much, Russie."

My eyebrows rose at Russet's nickname. My cute bunny's face burned after he peeked at my expression. But Russet hugged Walter's midsection tightly.

"I missed you, too." murmured Russet, tucking his nose down against Walter's left shoulder. "And I'm so sorry for hurting you and running away."

Walter shook his head and lifted it to look at Russet in the fact. "No, Russie, I'm so sorry for assuming that you were okay. I should have asked! You told me before, and I stupidly didn't—mm!"

I covered my eyes but peeked through my fingers. Russet was really going all out during that kiss with Walter. His tail was wiggling, so a happy smile curled my lips. I blushed when I heard Russet's soft moan as Walter slipped his fingers underneath our bunny's sensitive lop ears to cup Russet's head.

To be perfectly honest, I felt very out of place. I kind of wanted to disappear and let Russet and Walter have their time together, but Russet wanted me to stay. So I will stay put where Russet left me. He and Walter would remember my existence eventually.

To keep myself occupied in the meantime, I picked up my huge, fluffy tail and hugged it. I buried my face in it and curled over my knees on the bed. Even though I was partially resting on my tail, it was super comfy.

"W-Walter, w-wait—!" gasped Russet, and then he whined, "I wasn't scared, I promise. Annie told you we have to talk. But it's not just about how to overcome my trauma."

Walter coughed to clear his throat. "O-oh, right."

I heard clothes rustle, then Russet aww'd aloud. I heard him walk back to the bed, then he knelt down and petted my head. I silently exhaled, then lifted my head as I yawned. Russet's ears twitched and his pupils grew very large as I sat back while weakly rubbing my eyes with one hand. I had my tail tucked underneath my right arm, too.

"Russie?" asked Walter, but it was almost as if our Emerged bunny had gone completely deaf as he continued to watch me in my sleepy state.

I reached out and ruffled his hair, which made Russet grasp my hands and kiss my palms. Walter, on the other hand, seemed extremely shocked by Russet's behavior and began to apologize.

"Wally," I uttered quietly, and Walter paused. "This has to do with what we need to talk about."

Walter watched with wide grayish green eyes as Russet began to kiss my palms and then ducked his head to nibble on my knees. "I-I don't really understand." whispered Walter.

"Then come and make yourself comfortable. You haven't been in Russ' room much, have you?"

Walter shook his head as he set his things down on the chair behind him in the far corner. "Russet was extremely reluctant to let me into his room the first few times, so I got the hint and backed off."

Russet, in his strange state, began to nuzzle underneath my oversized shirt. With a gasp, I pulled it down. Russet pouted at me, so I gently lifted his lop ears and kissed their tips, making his peanut-brown skin flush.

Walter had already turned around at this point, so he'd paused mid-stride towards the bed when he saw me kiss Russet's ears. He looked between us, then sighed and shook his head as he toed off his shoes. He removed his suit jacket and tie, tossing them towards the chair on his way to get to us. His long, blond hair was in a braid over his right shoulder and his grayish green eyes gleamed as they gazed upon Russet.

Looking at them both, it really made me wonder if this thing going on would work out. I'd gladly step back again for their happiness. But if only Russet wanted me around, then I'm not sure how I would handle it.

"Anwyll," murmured Walter, smiling gently at me.

I now noticed that Russet had gotten back onto the bed and he was holding me tightly in his lap. I chuckled softly and petted Russet's forearms, then bared my throat for him to kiss. Walter silently watched the exchange, his now blank expression making me concerned.

"Russie, did you mean that you love Anwyll like you love me?" suddenly asked Walter, which made me jump.

I waited with baited breath when Russet firmly replied with a simple yes. Walter was very quiet—not a single twitch of an eyebrow could be seen. I fiddled with my tail in silence, feeling like a little kid about to be scolded. On the other hand, Russet was surprisingly optimistic about Walter's eventual response. But of course Russet was nervous. I could feel his body trembling as he held me.

Less than a minute later, Walter held out his hands. Russet and I stared at them, then our Emerged rabbit put his right hand into Walter's left hand. Walter's right hand moved closer to me, so I looked up at him as I set my small hand in his larger one.

Walter's gray-green eyes showed happiness as he smiled, and I could sense that the feeling was genuine as he looked at both of us. But why?

"Why?" I asked softly.

Walter frowned a bit. "Pardon?"

"Why are you saying okay to this? I'm an intruder on your eventual happy marriage with Russ."

My high school acquaintance/friend stared into my eyes, then he lifted my small hand to his lips. I was quite surprised by that, but my tail wiggled. Russet kissed both my and Walter's cheeks since he wanted more attention. Walter and I placed quick pecks on Russet's cheeks, which made our bunny boy beam as he held onto his ears.

"If you really want to look at it that way, Anwyll, technically I was the initial intruder. I stole Russet from you." Walter chuckled, then he smiled even brighter when Russet cuddled underneath his arm and against his chest.

My lips had quirked to the side from his comment, but Russet was really happy—overjoyed, to be perfectly clear. That made me smile. My heart felt warm and my insides felt tingly in a non-aroused way while I watched them together.

"I know we're not exactly friends, but we've never been on bad terms." uttered Walter, turning my hand over to kiss my palm. I blushed from the heated expression on his face as he continued, "But we can use this time to become very close friends."

I nodded with a happy grin. "That sounds very reasonable."

Walter smiled again and tugged me closer, which made me crash down onto him and Russet. I had reached out to steady myself and my right hand had landed on Russet's cock. That most definitely hyped his energy level again. Walter watched in amazement as Russet pounced on me and began to kiss me into oblivion. It was really embarrassing to have Walter watching as Russet groped my body, too.

"R-Russ," I gasped, my back arching as his hand cupped my nether region. "W-wait, p-pay attention to your man."

"I am," whispered Russet, in between pressing kisses up my body as he slowly pushed up my shirt. "One of two."

I throbbed down below at that verbal claim from Russet. His hands felt so good on my body—all of my sensitive areas were stroked if not nipped, sucked, and kissed. I writhed below Russet, but he held my wrists above my head. His smirk made my blush even darker as his lop ears trailed down my body, following the movement of his head.

Walter moved to the side for a better line of sight, then he looked at me with either pity or something else when he saw the size of my cock and balls. I glared at him and he chuckled.

"Walter," murmured Russet, as he let go of my wrists to remove his shirt. "Annie's assets are small, but you can do a lot with them."

Walter's warm cheeks were made apparent as he laid down next to me to get a better view. He held my wrists this time, which made me even more embarrassed. I tried to hide my face, but Russet grabbed my jaw and kissed me. He told me to bare everything, so I did as told for my beloved Russet.
