(My stories are strictly SFW, so please don’t ask for anything else. That includes prompts, chapters, and whatever else. This is just a cute story.)

(recap: baron checked in on his friend and whenever baron stepped outside, he saw a person that looked like luxian next to a body and rationally calm, baron walked in and luxian knew he saw. Luxian explained that a bundle of people were out to get them called “the company” as the groups name. Luxian is hunted because hes a competitor of an unknown underground business, despite not knowing them and just running a cafe, he explained and it continues after)

(both baron and luxian are the same age, during this story they fall in love lol, so its not an age gap type thing, they are the same age and i think that a relationship between someone that is over 2 years should not be together, i believe in my personal mindset atleast 1 is acceptable, however in this they are the same age)

(baron has a loving dynamic, where luxian is the strong yet sad one)

(took out the part i thanked ppl.. this was mostly myself without care or support... ngl how it feels sometimes.. love everyone on bdns tho if anything because ngl they supported me more than anything <3 thank you all.)

(continues from last post..) Luxian said “Are you gonna report me?” the words echoed in barons head as he processed and he paced thinking. “Are the cops in on it? Do people know? Is he the only one that can do anything?” and finally baron stopped and looked at him and said. “no” luxian paused, what.. What did he say? Baron continued “no i wont” luxian then said “you know you’re a witness then? You wont be safe from them..” baron then said. “Then.. i have no other option.. Can you… protect me?” luxian chuckled a little “sure bud, though… do you know how to fight?” baron paused “not really…” luxian then said, " Well, here you go then. I hope you have a good shot.” luxian threw a gun at baron (in specific, a 1911, a classic gun in history as a reliable easy to use firearm” luxian chuckled a little, he knew baron has a bad shot and was just joking but suddenly, baron casually took the magazine out, unchambered it, and reloaded it. Luxian looked a little surprised, before baron never knew how to use a gun, but here he was casually checking to see if it was live then reloading it. Baron then said noticing his look “i learned a bit since you were gone, i know how to aim good” Baron smiled a bit, but he set it down “i dont wanna fight though, i dont want to kill someone, cant you do all the work, lazy?” baron chuckled a little and luxian smiled and spoke “ill protect you then”

Chapter 2: ice cream and chatter (lol)

Despite their diffrences, baron a loving fox, and luxian a hardened, hunted, murderer. They got along. Luxian wasn't a terrible murderer, just someone who tried to make a living, owning his own restaurant, the “Old Bar Cafe.” The name in fancy cursive outside; it was themed as a morning cafe by day, and a bar at night. The walls were covered in old decorations, and the feel was nice. And they both understood eachother more than they felt they did before, previously they didnt talk much, they normally were casual contacts that checked in, but a week later.. They are good friends, and talk alot.

As baron walks the curb just coming back from the shop, he looks to the side to see the restaurant. He always thinks when he sees it “i should stop in and say hi” but today was different, the shop was normally open but now.. It had the closed sign up.. Being luxians good friend he had a key to come in after hours, luxian doubled the restaurant as his home in the back room, baron took the key and slid it in, the door creaked open with a squeak and he walked to luxians room and knocked. He heard a faint sniffle from the room and it was quiet after, baron heard the sniffle and said “are you okay?” luxian replied with a hoarse “yes…” baron said with an unsure voice “hmm.. Okay… when you’re out.. We can share some ice cream, i got some for home.. But why eat it alone” baron chuckled a little at the thought of sharing ice cream, and he grabbed a spoon from the cafe spoon dispenser for him and luxian and he sat down putting his in a bowl, after a bit luxian came out and he sat down, “s-sorry i-” before luxian could finish baron said “its alright, the feels got ya” baron smiled empathetically and chuckled a bit playing around “sad bois need ice cream too, eat up” baron smiled and luxian smiled too, they sat not talking, but just eating ice cream. After they were finished they decided to play games and talk, they talked about troubles and games, and whatever their mind came to. Time passed over hours and hours, what was the morning, turned to night and baron sat on the couch and smiled looking at luxian for a brief second, baron looked at his green eyes, his grey fur, the hoodie he normally wore, and he couldnt help but smile, he never talked to luxian in the past, but luxian was… cute… baron smiled and blushe a bit thinking it and he looked back at the game, luxian and him chatted a bit more and baron finally talked, “hey.. Its getting late… i dont think i can make it home in the dark, is it okay if i stay?” luxian stunned for a second said “u-uh y-yeah hold on let me get some pillows and blankets, i can sleep on the couch you can get the bed” baron smiled but politely declined and said “oh, its no problem i can take the couch” luxian wasnt used to this gesture, people that stayed overnight took the offer of the bed but something jitters in his heart, his mind strayed to the thought “maybe he isnt so bad, hes kinda… nice to be around” luxian smiled and then he let baron sleep on the couch, luxian did his nightly routine of closing the blinds and barracading the doors and windows, he gave the 1911 that baron declined to him and said “you never know when you might need it” baron smiled and put his head down to rest and luxian smiled happily, and he thought “Hes so cute…” and thy both said goodnight and slept.

Chapter 3: 1:35 AM

At 1:35 am baron jolted awake, a noise had sounded in the kitchen, it was a small drop of a plastic jar clattering, but just enough to worry baron, it wasnt usial for him to be around noise as he lived alone. Baron grabbed the gun with a repulsive face at even grabbing it, and he got up and shouted out, calling at the noise’s source

“H-hello…? Luxian…? Is that you?” baron took small steps towards the small kitchen, ready as if something would strike like a snake any second. And when he rounded the corner, he saw luxian just standing in shock staring at the ground, and when he looked he saw the peanut butter fell and on the counter a half-made pb&j sandwich and luxian just stared in a deep pit of sadness at the peanut butter falling, and he noticed baron and jumped. Baron laughed and set the gun down, and he said “you scared me, i thought someone was here.” luxian chuckled with a scared expression that turned to happiness “you scared me too, i thought you were asleep. Sorry” baron smiled and said “no worries, i was just worried. Here let me just..” baron suddenly grabbed a paper towel and water and wiped the peanut butter off the ground and said ”do you have anymore peanut butter?” luxian thought and said “i think..?” luxian checks a cabinet and finds another jar unopened “ah, got it” luxian pulls it out and makes his sandwich and sits down at the table, baron smiles, goes back to the couch and lays down, baron yawns and says “im gonna go back to sleep, goodnight” luxian says “goodnight” and smiles, and then baron falls asleep. After luxian is finished he sets his stuff up and pats baron goodnight, he notices the blanket is off baron and he puts it back on and rubs his head softly and he goes back to bed, before he goes he hears baron groan a little and he says “thank you” and luxian freezes, he thought baron was asleep and was trying to be kind.. But he knew he helped him, luxian blushed and went back to bed.

Early in the morning, baron was the first to wake up. He remembered the blanket thing and blushed a bit, he thought that maybe.. Luxian cared about him? Baron walked to the kitchen and decided to make coffee for luxian and him, he looked at the creamers “french vanilla, or mocha.” he wonderd between the two, and then he chose french vanilla for both, he made luxians strong and he made his sweet, he figured he would like vanilla, whenever they were done luxian woke up smelling the coffee and went over to make his own, then he saw a cup set down for him and set down, luxian said “t-thanks i never thought you would-” baron smiled and took a sip “i tried my best, i didnt know which you liked) luxian took a sip and his face went warm and blushed, he smiled and said “how did you know i liked vanilla…?” baron smiled “i didnt, it was a guess. Mocha is just gross.” Luxian chuckled and said “yeah, i just wanted to try and didnt really like it” luxian didnt know how to tell baron he liked him, but he was scared hed be unsafe, fighting the company was a big feat. So Luxian decided something… Luxian would fight their best assassin… he would fight them to show.. To show he was stronger than them. Baron surprisingly was still sitting at the counter when he got back, whenever luxian walked in baron smiled “hey luxian” luxian smiled and waved and before luxian could say anything… baron said “i know we didnt talk much before, but we were friends a while… and i need to get something off my chest.” luxian looked confused and then baron said “i… i like you luxian.. Would you maybe wanna… be together?” luxians ears perked up and he smiled instantly and said happily “OF COURSE!!” luxian went over and picked baron up hugging him hard. “Ooph- youre strong luxian” luxian smiled and set him down and pet his head, and luxian said “you’re always free to stay here anytime.”

Chapter 4: the aftermath.

Luxian was gone for a while the next day, he came back around 1pm while baron waited and luxian came in bruised and with some cuts on his face and torso, his clothes were tattered and he plopped on the couch laying down. Baron looked surprised and worried and came over “luxian? W-what happened? Are you okay” all that managed from luxian was a groan and he took the blanket baron slept with last night and rested, baron then said “when you get up, you better tell me what happened. Ill make you some tea and some food.” luxian fell asleep and rested for a few hours, when he woke up baron was by his side and baron said “luxian? You’re awake! Oh my god” baron rushed over and hugged him, “Ooph- not so hard” luxian chuckled, baron said “oops, sorry” baron gave him the tea and said “what happened?” luxian said “i took care of the company, they respect me now… i fought the best assassin they could offer… a trial of strength and worthiness of the company’s respect and mercy.” luxian smiled and rubbed barons cheek, baron said “so.. The company’s no more?” luxian grinned and baron hugged him crying a bit and sat there “im so proud of you..” baron said empathetically luxian sat there with baron while he recovered talking about what happened. And after… there was a comment from baron that made him smile and almost brang a tear to his eye. “you did that.. To keep me safe? I love you..” they embraced a final time happily..

This begins the story.. Of baron and luxian <3
