Indigo and Rowan could see their breath under the dome of the observatory as they looked up into the cosmos. The stars shone their brightest because the station was in the shadow of the planet Avior 7.
Rowan made a wan smile and said, "No matter how many times I come up here, it always makes me feel small."
"Given the size of the universe, it seems like the appropriate response. Hehe." Her laugh sounded hollow.
"Would you like me to send you the footage?" Rowan turned to her and lifted his hand to touch her but stopped himself.
"Yes please, Teddybear. Then I want you to scrub it from your comlink."
"Yes. Yes, of course." Rowan hunched over his comlink and soon enough the data was sent. A sad deletion beep echoed under the dome.
"Thank you," she said as she walked to a telescope the size of a car. She put her yellow eye to the telescope's eyepiece. "I can't see a goddamn thing, everything's cloudy."
The man walked over to Indigo. When he got close, he saw that she had the shuddering shoulders of a person who was crying. His hands hovered over her shoulders for a moment before he wrapped his arms around her.
She stood up and turned around. The fox girl balled her fists and rained weak blows on his chest while she cried. "I thought I was taking revenge on him when I was with you. I wanted to hurt him in the same way he hurt me, but he's so dense he couldn't see what was happening. Or maybe it's worse, maybe he just doesn't care. Before he had at least some discretion, but now it seems like he wants to be caught."
"Indigo, I'm sorry."
"I thought I could be casual about it. I thought we could just be friends. Rowan, since you told me about what you saw, I haven't been thinking about him, I've been thinking about us." Her fists opened and she embraced him, burying her face in his chest.
He pushed her away slightly. "Hey I have a treat for you. I knew things would be sad so I did some research. This observatory used to hold dances when humans were still here. I learned one of the dances and wondered if you'd like to try it." He pulled out two earphones and handed one to Indigo.
She laughed, "Just let me pair my headphones with your comlink, those little things will just fall into my ears silly."
"Oh right."
She pulled out her lycan headphones and started to listen. "This music must be ancient, Teddybear. I've never heard of any music like this. What's the dance called?"
"It's foxtrot, of course. You'll be a natural!"
…
After about a half hour of effort, the pair managed to dance the basic foxtrot under the dome while listening to some old song called 'Come Fly With Me'. The upbeat smooth music seemed to pull them away from the reason why they met in the observatory. The fox's tail would switch back and forth to the steps of the dance, slow, slow, quick-quick, slow, slow, quick-quick. When they managed to finally get it down and made no massive mistakes for the whole song, Indigo laughed and wrapped her arms around him again. Then the laughter died but she still held on tight.
"That was fun Teddybear. I feel woozy now." Her breath formed clouds of fog as she breathed quickly.
"Feeling better? I'll dance with you any time you want."
"It doesn't take much to make me feel wanted, Teddybear. I just want to be seen. At home he just watches sports before going out, saying he's hanging out with his friends. It's like I'm invisible."
"That bastard Ollie doesn't deserve you. You deserve so much more than that pig."
She looked at his chest and said nothing. Rowan could sense that she was making a decision.
"I don't want you to talk about him ever again Rowan, unless it's an emergency. His name only makes my stomach churn. A slime? I'm no better than a slime?!"
"Indigo, you're one in a million. You need the love of a good man. I bet there's hundreds of lycan guys who would love to give you the affection you deserve."
SLAP
"Indigo!?" Rowan put his hand to his face, quickly turning red.
"How can you be so cruel? Haven't you heard a single word I've said to you, you hairless ape!?"
"Because I'm taken, Indigo. Things are already complicated. If we started dating, I'd be just as bad as you-know-who. I'd be worse than him, because I'd be open to you about it."
"Maybe that would make it easier, knowing beforehand what I'm getting myself into. Why don't we just say the relationship is open? Hmmm? Maybe one day I can find one of those lycan fuck boys you're on about and we'll amicably drift apart."
"Come on, Indigo…"
"Please Teddybear. You're all I have right now. Do you want me to beg Rowan? Is that what you want?" She looked up into his eyes with tears streaming down her cheeks. "Rowan, I….I…."
Rowan kissed her deeply on the mouth. Indigo hung onto him and squeezed so tightly it felt like she was trying to smush the two together. Rowan hugged her back, noting how petite she seemed at this moment.
She pulled away and said, "Rowan, I know what this makes me sound like, but I need you right now."
Rowan laughed and replied, "Indigo, you're crazy! We're in the observatory. We're far from any place that's discrete. My girls are expecting me back soon."
"Girls? More than one?" She frowned while she unzipped his pants and pulled out his manhood by dragging from the head. "You're the worst Teddybear. I'm going to have to keep my eye on you." Indigo got on her knees and got close. Grabbing his shaft she started dragging his cock all over her face. "You may be dating others, but I just can't get enough of this. I don't care how bad this makes me look."
This is my weakness. I've gone on so long without anything that I can't refuse it now. He opened his hands and started to gently massage Indigo's soft ears. The fox girl immediately started moaning with an open mouth. His cock was erect and bouncing slightly on each beat of his racing heart.
"Why are you so good at ear massages? If I knew you were this good I would have….fuuuuuuck!" Indigo's tongue edged out of her mouth and she started to pant.
Rowan added pressure to his hands and brought her mouth down on his purple head. As if being pulled by gravity she accelerated her descent down his shaft. When she took it to the base she kept her chin resting on the wrinkly skin of his testicles and moaned.
She unbuttoned her fly and slipped a hand underneath her panties and started to plunge her fingers inside of herself, trying to quell the storm that was raging inside of her by giving it a substitute of what it really wanted. The pair cared for each other under that cold class dome. Rowan kept his thrusts to a minimum, opting not to fuck her face roughly. Indigo suckled on his prick, trying to coax the cum out of his balls, wanting it inside of her. She hummed and whined as his glans passed down her esophagus relentlessly.
Rowan's eyes wandered while he stood there shamelessly receiving head from the cute lycan. Off under one railing he saw what he thought was a red LED from a security camera flicker off.
"Fuck, there's no point stopping now."
"Hmmm?"
"It's nothing Indigo. We'll have to see where our schedule lines up. When I see you next time I'm going to return the favor you're giving me now, twice over."
"Mmmm hmm!" Indigo's gagging wet sounds filled the observation dome.
…
On the other side of the station, in the cavernous repair bay, a single terminal remained on. In the darkness one could hear sniffling.
