Dawn- An age of Darkness

We wanted to leave right away but the bunnies begged us to stay the night on the mountain hut. They wanted to spend as much time as they could with their queen. I still didn't know why they were calling Biteria queen but I didn't really care all that much at this point. 

This world was weird, and I'd already accepted it long ago. 

I roamed around the place and sure enough, we were up pretty high. There were a few dozen or so huts and we were given the biggest one. The bunnies in particular had an abundant source of fruits and vegetables. I could see why they'd seek out meat, but seriously, why humans? Did humans really taste that great?

I had no idea. And I didn't want to have any either. 

But this mountain was pretty wide. And it had enough space to have twelve elephants stacked side by side. 

With a sigh, I just strolled around. 

I headed exactly opposite of where Biteria was being surrounded by everyone. 

But I still got all sorts of bows and unwanted attention. Like, why the hell was I popular among the middle-aged bunny women, all of a sudden? 

I always had a problem with older women, is that why? I didn't know why but my fate sure was filled with older women. 

Back when I was in tenth grade, my babysitter did some pretty whacky things to me. She was five years older than me and an adult. She did all sorts of things to me, she even showed me her underwear and all the lines, stains on it. Like, did she have no shame?

I was young and I was just discovering all this stuff, and she just had to pull all those dirty jokes when she was with me. 

Back then I was too naïve but now, now I just felt I was maybe a lot more stupid at the time than I thought. I didn't know if she did all those to tease me, scar me or prepare me, or perhaps even invite me, but sure enough, it had made the impression of older women weird in my mind. 

And my mom slapping me one day, claiming I was going down the wrong path because I allegedly tried to force myself on my babysitter only made my impression of older women worse. 

So with a sigh, I just walked to the edge of this small village. There were even small shops selling fruits. One particular bunny really insisted I take some fruit and eat them. I was hungry, so I didn't disagree. 

He was the same one, I beat up. He sure spoke with utter respect and a bashful tone though. 

The fruits of this world had similar looks and tastes compared to earth. But something was different. Some fruits were a lot bigger, some were sweeter while others just had some sort of smell or bitterness. I went far away from all the bunnies and went to the far north of the whole camp, right where three large trees were located. The same trees which I was bound to before. 

Hard to imagine I came back here out of my own accord. 

***

I sat down, lying against the tree. 

Let's see…                                                         

I bit into the first fruit. Looked like a pear, but red. And it tasted exactly like a pear, just sweeter. Not a bad start.

An oval-shaped grape, pretty big. Tasted like a mango, just bitter. It probably was this world's mango. 

Next, a blue strawberry, the size of a dragon fruit. Boy, this was big. I bit into it, and the juices exploded everywhere: the seeds were actually pretty small. With an awkward smile, I just tried to clean everything with a handkerchief. The thing tasted pretty good though: halfway between a strawberry and a grape. 

Snort!                 

A sound came from the top of the tree. 

I looked up and a thin boy was staring right back at me. He was a bunny boy, if that was even a thing. "Hup." He jumped out of the tree and made a cute sound. But unfortunately, he was a boy and I didn't swing that way. 

Finally, I met a bunny human my type, and he just had to be a guy. He was also covered with fur but unlike the rest of the bunnies, this guy was no muscle head and just looked like a furry version of Alisa. 

Okay, that's just racism. 

I sighed again. I still had another strawberry left. "You want one?"

"No, I'm good. Are you really the lord of our queen?" His words were carefully picked and he monitored every aspect of my body. 

Didn't he realize that was sexual harassment? Well, I guess not, since we were both guys after all. 

But seriously, what the hell even was a 'lord of the queen?'

"I don't know. Biteria's my lovely bunny and that's all."

"Hmm…" The boy smiled. "I see." He turned around. "Please enjoy your stay and I'm sorry for last night. I really hope you'd favor us bunnies from here on out too."

So, he's the boy, that bunny mentioned.

I didn't know what he was getting at but oh well, it had nothing to do with me. I'd just leave tomorrow anyway. And more importantly, I always favored bunnies no matter what, or had he overheard me last time when I said, I considered switching affections? Honestly, now that I thought about it, it just felt embarrassing. 

***

After a while, I went back to the hut. Dick and Servesta were sitting on the corner. Alisa and Lianne were on the other corner. What was going on?

"Did something happen?"

Dick looked at me with a complicated expression. "The moment you and your bunny left, they treated us like nothing but baggage. In fact, they haven't even come near us once. And I thought I was going to get laid tonight."

Was the thought of getting laid the only thing on his mind, and nothing else?

I looked over at Alisa and she also had a complicated expression, somewhere between a meek smile and despair. "They said they were trying their best not to eat us, since it would sadden you. Meaning, they might come at us, if they can convince you that you won't be sad."

I almost snorted but controlled it halfway. Probably the funniest thing I heard all day. "So, anyway, I brought some fruits." During my return trip, the bunnies had showered me with fruits, since they didn't have meat for us. They did insist that they'd secure some meat before the afternoon but before that, they wanted me, us to be well fed. For once I felt glad that I convinced them not to hunt anything sentient. 

I sure hoped, they still weren't thinking of eating us though.

I had about a dozen or so large strawberries. I really liked them, so I thought these guys would like 'em too. 

"This is good!" Dick shoved one in his mouth and picked up four. 

"Hey, don't be greedy. Everyone just gets two." I hadn't had lunch either and we had no food, so technically, I needed to eat at least something. 

Dick frowned but did happily chew on his portion. But they all sure made a mess of themselves. 

Giggles, snorts, finger-pointing, and a lot of other stuff happened. 

I didn't know why but this whole thing seemed a bit more peaceful than what I was used to. 

But I still couldn't let my guard down. If history taught me anything, it was that every time I started to feel blessed, bad shit went down, without a doubt. 

"Sir!" A bunny entered the hut and fell on the floor. "One of your companions-" He looked at me with eyes full of dread. 

I sighed. Should have seen it coming. 

I looked around and sure enough, Ven was missing. "Lead the way."

Lianne and Alisa came with me as Servesta and Dick happily gobbled down our portions as well. Which part of 'don't be greedy', didn't they understand?

***

With a sigh, I just followed the bunny. 

We were quite far away from the huts and from here I couldn't hear or even see the bunnies. 

But when we reached the crime scene, "What the hell?" I was flabbergasted by the sight. 

"I kind of saw him doing that yesterday, too." Alisa gave me a meek smile. "But I didn't know how to bring this up."

Ven was lying on top of a large stone, eyes closed. He was probably asleep but he had half of his body exposed. He was sweating and some of his sweat was making steam. He was being literally cooked alive but the expression he made could only be described as bliss: pure bliss. 

He even occasionally let out muffled moans too. 

But if that was all, it wouldn't have been a problem. The real problem was, the guy wasn't a guy. "Not, this pattern again," I mumbled and slapped my forehead. I got all sorts of memories just surfacing like mad.

Granted, he didn't have much of a chest, but even an amateur like me could tell, this guy wasn't a guy and that wasn't just a chest, those were boobs.
