New day is slowly waking up. The sun is peaking out of the horizon, illuminating the area on yellow. Birds start to sing out of the lungs, making the view more beautiful. However, the bedroom of the young fox was filled with only the sound of his light breathing.

This peace got disturbed by slowly forming sounds of steps. Each one was louder and louder when suddenly, it became silent. That changes quickly into the knocking and creaking door. An orange snout peaked out between the gap and in the matured, quite hoarse voice spoke: ,,Tommy wake up".
A little fox body shuddered a bit, making the figure giggle and closing the door.

Tom scratched himself under the blanket, making noises of pleasure and relaxation. Afterwards, he rolled on the edge of the bed, shifting the body weight on his side to sit down. The young canine slowly gathers the energy needed to stand up, whining a bit in the meantime. It lasted a moment until he finally bounced off the bed. Now standing, giving his parts to acclimatization and itself taking some breaths, slowly letting them out. When Tom felt relaxed enough, he slowly wandered to his bathroom. This time, the young fox decided to not take a shower but he split some cold water on the face, to make her more radiant. Then he turned to the toilet, taking a leak and afterwards Tom moved to his closet. Knowing that today it will be warmer than yesterday, he chose black tracksuit with a yellow t-shirt. Now, fully ready to join to the society, he moved out of his room and walked down the stairs, heading towards the dining room.

There, his mother in the kitchen is cooking some goodies for the family, and his father sitting in one of the chairs, sipping the cafe while reading the newspaper. Tom joined the table activating the older fox: ,,Who do we have here?" He asked teasingly. The younger one looked at him, replying: ,,I'm Max.." he tried to fake the voice of his sister, making both parents laugh. Vixen turned around and asked: ,,How do you feel the other Max?".
Tom giggled a bit before he spoke: ,, Surely better than yesterday!" enthusiasm flowed out along with the words.
,,And that's the way to start the new day!" dad followed his son's joy.

From behind could be heard a cracking sound of the stairs. Thomas looked there, seeing his sister stepping down, so he shouted to her: ,,Good morning!".

With a smile she replied: ,,Good morning Tommy and you all!". On the way to the seat, Max patted her brother on his black hair. When the vixen finally sat, she said: ,,I see that y'all are in a good mood, didn't you?".

Tom nodded in reply, adding the question: ,,And how about you? Did you sleep well?", he looked at her with curiosity.

She gazed at him and sighed: ,,Well, could be better, but I'm good".

Max looked a bit out of sorts which Thomas noticed, but he had no idea what to say to make her better. He thought that if not words then maybe actions might help, so he jumped out of the seat and walked to Max, clenching her in a tight hug. That caught her off guard, but she was glad for Tom's efforts.

A young vixen decided to chat with him a little: ,,What are you scheming here hmm?" she asked, stroking her brother hair.

He gazed up with a furrowed brow, replying: ,,I don't want you to be in a bad mood...".
Max giggled and booped the younger fox nose saying: ,,I'm not in a bad mood you goofball. I just need to wake up" she half lied, because in fact she woke up on the wrong side today. For Thomas though it was enough to make him headed back on his seat. Shortly after, the mother served a salad made of several vegetables for all family members. Foxes ate along with a conversation of both parents, listing their plans for today. A little glutton, as usual ate first, moving quickly to his bathroom to brush his teeth.

Afterwards, he took his backpack and headed to the living room to wait for his sister. It didn't take that long for her presence to appear down stairs. Tommy jumped from the sofa and joined his sister. They put on their shoes, said goodbye to parents and together went out to the bus.

A couple of minutes later they reached the destination, taking a seat and silently waiting for their transport. Shortly after the bus arrived and both foxes entered inside, taking the same seats as they did yesterday. Tommy was sitting next to the window, so he could admire the surroundings along with the accompaniment of his favourite music. He always loves this moment of the day because it makes him relaxed and calm from the start.

They arrived around a quarter of the hour by the building. Both exited the vehicle, standing now in front of school. They stood like that for a while when suddenly Max said: ,,Sooo, are we going to stand like statues or are we planning to move?" She asked mockingly, looking down at her brother.

He turned his sight at her, showing two pads and replying: ,,Let's move", which activated legs of both canines.

They wandered around the park that the school offered, knowing that it was still a bit of time before the first class. It was quiet and peaceful outside, only the wind was slightly blowing, lifting some leaves with him. It was a good environment to contemplate, so Tom stepped into his head. His first thought was that in a moment he will meet a happy wagging husky again, which made him joyful just by thinking of it. He was glad that on his second day at the new school, someone was already waiting for his appearance.
And about what I was so panicked? - He laughed inside his mind.

They hung out for a while but the time was reaching them slowly which Max noticed, so she decided that's a good moment to get inside the building. Both furs overcame the stairs, landing in the heart of the school, then the female fox said: ,,Okey, let's find your class, we don't much time left".

Even if Thomas was here only once, he already knows the layout of the ground floor so he said to her: ,,You know what? I can find it by myself, you don't need to bother of me" he grinned with closed eyes after saying that.

Max gazed at him, raising one brow, saying: ,,Well, I didn't expect you to get independent that fast!" She said it appreciatively, because she hasn't learned the building yet, so she could have more time for her target.

He giggled: ,,So do I!".

,,Then, have a nice day and good luck to you!" She took some steps forward.

,,You too!" The younger one shouted back.

And Thomas got left alone, but unlike yesterday he hasn't felt any bad emotions this time. He reached for his phone to check in which class he is going to start. ,,English... Room 12. Great" he read from his lesson plan. The cub walked to the wing on his left side, quickly realising that it can't be here, so Tom headed to the second one, where he almost instantly found his class.

The classroom was already filled by kids, but Tom was looking for the one specific. It didn't take him long to locate the beige husky sitting on the desk in the same place as yesterday, while talking with his best friend Oliver. Thomas came closer to them and with a raised paw he said: ,,Hi!". Both other furs took eyes on him and then the husky jumped out of the desk. Now, he stood in front of the fox, with a big grin, wagging tail, looking like a kid who just got a gift. Levi finally pulled himself together to reply: ,,hI!", excitement clogged his throat, making it sound as if he was saying it breathlessly. On his side Oli, covering his snout trying to silence his laugh. Levi noticed it, so he looked at him ominously, narrowing his eyes and clenching jaw, which instantly extinguished the gray wolf. He took his eyes back at the fox which was chuckling a bit. Levi sighed and said ,,Shall we sit down? ". Tom nodded in reply and the cubs moved to their seats.

,,How are you doing? Did you sleep well tonight?" Levi asked from the fox side.

Thomas directed his body to him and replied: ,,Surely better than yesterday morning! And I sleep well also. How about you?"

,,Awesome! I'm also..." he got interrupted by the starting bell, causing both to jump a bit. That made them both laugh and when they stopped, Levi finished his sentence: ,,I'm also feeling very good".

Into the classroom entered a well dressed white female wolf. She walked to the front of the class, raising her arms and saying
enthusiastically: ,,Good morning class!". The whole at once replied to her: ,,Good morning teacher!". Then she moved to her desk, starting to check the attendance list. She greeted the fox when his turn came, saying some words about herself. Then the class started. The topic was about grammar, but in fact they were casually talking about their weekends, which lasted the whole lesson.

Tom with Levi went out of the classroom, waiting for the 3rd cub. When he came, they set off towards the next class, which was in the second wing. In the meantime they were talking, or maybe more specifically Oli was praising the fox about the day before achievement.
When they reached the destination, Levi separated from them, saying that he need to go to toilet. For the gray wolf it was the perfect opportunity to talk face to face with Thomas.

,,I heard that you and Levi became friends, Congrats!" He patted the shoulder of the fox.

,,Emm yes we do... He already told you?" Thomas was a bit confused.

,,Yup men, he is telling me everything" the wolf replied accenting the last word.

Everything?
A lightbulb went on in his head. If he tells him everything, then something about the fox should be also mentioned, didn't it?
,,Oh, that's great... I-if I can ask, did he say something about me?" He cringed inside after saying that, but he had to start somehow.

Oli's lips started to stretch, forming a nice smile: ,,Yup, he said some words and I can surely say that he really likes you"

What do you mean he really likes me? Tommy asked in mind. That totally didn't help the fox, in fact it made more questions. He wanted to ask this question but he thought that it would sound strange, so Instead of this he tried differently: ,,That's great... You said before that he is telling you everything, so did he tell you what happened after you left us?" Tom shivered when he asked this. They didn't do anything special, but just the fact that Tom really enjoyed Levi's presence back then, made his body act weirdly.

The gray canine looked at Tom with an even bigger smile, revealing his teeth, and then replied quietly: ,,Yes, I know what happened".

That shocked the fox a bit, even if he had been expecting it. Tom started blushing lightly, which he immediately noticed so he looked the other way to cover his embarrassed face.

Then, to his left ear Oli whispered:,,Do you want to know why he was acting like that?"

Thomas eyes opened widely along with his muzzle ready to say "Yes", but then from behind he heard Levi's voice: ,,I'm back! let's get inside". Then Oli said directly to Thomas: ,,We'll come back to this later".

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? - Tom yelled inside his head. He felt like someone just robbed something from his paws. All his questions, curiosity, dilemmas could just end, right there, but he couldn't do anything about it. Oli would not say anything with Levi around and Tom couldn't just ask his new friend what he thinks about him. Torn apart into pieces just followed both canines inside the class.

The red fox sat on his seat, contemplating everything that Oli told him, wondering how he should understand it.
All of the sudden Levi spoke to him: ,,Are you alright?".

Thomas took an eye on him. His friend was tilting his head slightly, looking worried about the fox.Tom cleared his throat and replied: ,,Yes I-I'm alright... Why you asking?".

This only made the beige canine more concerned: ,,I saw that you had a conversation with Oli during my absence. Now you seem... really pensive. What did he tell you?"

Thomas heart just stopped, he started to panick, wasn't knowing how to counter his friend's question. He couldn't just straight lie on him, but telling the truth also was out of the word.

Levi looked deeply inside the classroom, starting to measure someone by his furious eyes, when he suddenly sighed heavily and said: ,,I understand. You don't need to answer that" after those words he sat straight on his seat.

Thomas felt devastated after realising what he had just done. He knew who Levi was devoured by his sight and that made him feel really really bad for the young wolf. Tom wanted to repair it somehow, so he said: ,,He didn't say anything. Don't be mad at him..."

Levi took an eye on the fox and replied: ,,Well, if you say so... I just don't want to see you like that anymore..." his tone was sorrowful along with his ears that fell down.

,,I'm not sad or anything, I'm just... A bit lost In thoughts..." Tom replied, trying to cheer up his friend, even if he himself felt torn.

,,Ouu okey..." That's all that came out from Levi before the bell rang. He sat still in his chair with head slightly dropped down, looking like he was also locked in his head.

Next lesson started, this time geography. Same as on all other lessons, Tom got greeted when the teacher reached him on the list. The topic was about minerals under the earth, which normally for the fox would be interested in listening to, but now he couldn't focus himself. Under his skull he had a war made by questions, guesses and unsure answers. That's how this class passed for him.

The bell rang, and the kids exited the classroom. Levi and Tom went out together going to the next class without waiting for the gray canine. Half way they didn't say a single word but then all of the sudden the beige husky stopped and broke the silent: ,,We are friends now... We can tell everything to each other..."
Thomas turned to him, and then Levi grabbed his wrists lightly, continuing: ,,On last recess you said that something sits in your head, so tell me what's bothering you. Maybe I can help..."

The orange canine looked down, thinking if it's a good idea to tell him about his dilemmas. Levi was the owner of them, but he would feel really uncomfortable asking him about all of this. He still had in mind that Oliver also had the answers to his questions, so he decided to play it safe and maybe calm the clouds over him: ,,I can handle it, actually we should just give up this topic totally. It would be the best... I think..."

The older canine was not satisfied with the fox's answer, but eventually he accepted Tom's will.: ,,Okay, I understand. I will not be coming back to this if you need....."

,,Thank you" that's what came out from the fox snout.

That was a moment of relief for the young fox. Now he could fully focus on how to arrange a meeting with Oliver, to finish what they started. He had in mind how hard it will be, knowing that Levi would not give him a break, but at this point it was a matter of life and death for him.

Both canines arrived into the class, but Thomas couldn't locate the gray wolf inside, so he just sat on his seat. He thought that it actually didn't matter that much because here he had no chance to talk with Oliver without noticing Levi. So, Tom decided to wait for the lunch break, where most likely he should find more and better occasions for that.

All of the sudden beige canine stood up and headed to the exit. Tom followed him by his eyes, curious where he was going. When Levi exited the classroom in Thomas head rang an alarm: What if he went to talk with Oliver? What if he scares him, and he will be silent by now?

Fear gripped him and he felt a cold drop of sweat trickle down his temple. Tom had to at least know if his assumptions were true, so he jumped out of the chair and ran to the door. He peaked first on the left side of the corridor, finding nothing interesting for him, then he nervously turned his head to the right. Tom looked one by one at the furs there, when he suddenly located his target, standing at the end of the corridor.
,,Fuck..." He said quietly. The worst of the worst scenario just happened, which devastated the little fox.

With a look of defeat and sadness, he gazed at them again, noticing something strange. Oliver had his paws on both shoulders of his best friend, telling him something. Levi on the other side was listening to him, with a happy wagging tail and open smile. it didn't look like an argument at all, Oli were just explaining the situation to the beige husky. Tom was really grateful they weren't arguing, but he was also very curious to know what the gray canine had said, that made Levi so happy. His contemplations were interrupted by the bell for class, which made Tom jump and rush back to his seat. A while later, both smiling canines entered the classroom, creating a little smirk on Thomas face.

The next class was math, where they were continuing the topic from the last day. Thomas now with a clean head could finally focus on the lesson. He was enjoying the topic just like last time, not even feeling the time passing when suddenly the ending bell rang.

This time, all three canines gathered outside the classroom. It seems like everything headed back to normal, Levi was leading the way while the three canines were talking casually. When they reached the next class, the beige canine went inside and when Tom wanted to do the same, Oliver grabbed his right shoulder, and whispered into the fox ear: ,,If you want to know more about Levi, then on the next recess go to the park in front of the school. We will have enough time to talk and this time no one will interrupt us.". Without giving a chance to reply, he moved inside the class. Tom's lips formed a huge banana, his tail was wagging uncontrollable and in his head screamed loud "YES, LET'S GO!". His happiness was out of the scale, he literally felt like blessed at this point. The delighted fox just followed the wolf.

For the whole lesson Thomas was thinking about the questions that he would like to ask. The main theme was to get explanations about Levi's tender behaviours and if he is acting similarly to his other friends. Tom never experienced such a thing around his past friends, so it was totally unusual for him. Levi looks like someone who was just kind, but as much?

Tom was counting every minutes to the end of the lesson. It was surely the longest 45 minutes in his life and when the bell finally rang, he felt like a wave of excitement hit him. He quickly packed his things and in a fast walk exited the room.

The fox ran down the front stairs and headed to the closet bench, where he sat down. His nervousness got the better of him, forcing him to stand and pace. A minute passed, two, three, and still there was no sign of Oliver. Tom began to worry that he might just lied to him, or that Levi had stopped him. A rock fell down his heart as he saw the gray wolf descending the stairs and approaching him.

,,Hi, sorry that you had to wait, but I had to do something" Oliver said, scratching the back of his head.

,,It's ok, it wasn't that long" Tom smiled, but in fact those couple of minutes was like an eternity for him.

,,Well if you say so" he took his paw back and pointed on the bench: ,,Let's maybe sit down, it will be better" he said.

,,Ye, Sure.." Thomas replied and both furs took a seat next to each other.

,,So, we were talking before geography but Levi interrupted us. On last recess i talked with him and he agreed to leave us alone here"

,,That's great" Tom relaxed a bit after hearing that. They had time, so Thomas wanted to start it slowly by asking: ,,I see that there are no secrets between you both. So, how long have you known each other?"

Oli laughed a bit: ,,Well.. for a long time" he shook his head and clarified himself: ,,Most of my life, it's been 7 maybe even 8 years?" he looked one eyed on Tom.

,,Well, that's a lot!" The fox replied, shocked because he hadn't known any of his friends for that long.

,,Yup it is...Thanks to this I learned him thoroughly, same he did me..." Oliver drowned into his memories. A moment later he shook his head to get back to reality and said: ,,But this is not why we met here. You have more... Accurate question" he smirked when he said that.

Thomas looked shyly at him, saying: ,,Yes, I have..."

A bit laughing Oli said ,,Alright!". He cleaned his throat and started speaking: ,,So, you surely noticed his... Hmmm... Noticed how much care he is?"
Thomas nodded in reply and the gray wolf continued. ,,Well, you see, this is normal for him that he always stands for someone, BUT with you it is a bit different..."

Thomas ears perked up as he heard the last sentence. ,,What do you mean, "different"?" he looked curiously at the gray canine.

,,Well... Around three years ago he found a friend. It was a girl, also a fox like you. He liked her very very much and so do I. She was very friendly to everyone, which Levi learnt from her. She had a lot of fox friends which Levi met someday, and the time spent with them made him like foxes in general. Unfortunately she had to move to another town which made him very, very sad. He tried to find another fox friend, but here in OakWood there are almost no foxes"
He stopped there, placing his finger on another cub chest saying: ,,But you appeared!" he grinned heavily.

So he just likes foxes?
Thomas got his answer, but he was slightly confused. He decided to ask the same question: ,,So... He likes me because I'm a fox?"

Oli grabbed Thomas by his shoulders and said: ,,Yes, BUT I observed how Levi was changing around you, and how much attention he gives you. And that's unusual for him..." He sounded intrigued.

That confused little fox so he asked: ,,How should I understand it?"

The wolf sat helpless and replied: ,,I don't know yet, we will see Tom.." he got up from the bench saying: ,,We have to go, in a second our last class will start"

Tom also stood up and both canines walked towards the school. Thomas was half contend and half not, because he gained some more information about his friend but also some new questions appeared. He felt like it was an eternal wheel, where anything he would do, will lead him to the same point. Tom hoped that with time everything will clarify by itself.

They arrived equal with the ringing bell, so they went straight to their seats. Levi was already on his own and when the red fox sat, he asked:

,,Did you got what you wanted?"

Tom looked in his direction, seeing his friend staring at him sheepishly. ,,Eemm, I think I do" Tom smiled slightly.

Levi replied with the same expression, shyly adding: ,,That's cool, I'm happy for you"

A moment later the teacher came. The female polar bear first greeted students, then slowly walked to her desk and started checking the attendance list. In contrast to other teachers she didn't greet Thomas or something. He thought that it's actually good, because he was always a bit stressed when had to talk about himself. After checking the list she said loudly: ,,I'm reminding. On Thursday we have a test of the structure of the musculoskeletal system. Prepare well on this please."

Test? Already? How is that possible? Did I miss something?
Tom asked himself, filled with shock and confusion. It didn't make any sense to him because the year had just started. This meant he would have to learn all this on his own when he returned home. Tom wasn't happy at all, but he accepted it somehow and focused on what he had in front of him.

The last bell rang, filling out the classroom with happy sounds of furs ready to escape from their prison. While leaving, in the door Levi joined the fox saying: ,,Can we talk?".

Tommy looked at him with one eyebrow raised and replied, “Ye, sure.”

They stopped by the window in front of the class and Levi started talking: ,,I observed you and I noticed how you got worried when Mis.Mari mentioned the test. What happened?" Levi moved a bit closer to Tom, looking anxious at him.

,,I don't understand... The year just started and we already have a test? Did I miss something?" He looked at his friend, trying to find answers.

Levi full of confusion was staring at the young fox for a couple of seconds, when it suddenly dawned on him ,,Ouh, I see...".
What do you know that I don't? Thomas thought.

,,When did you move to this town?" Levi asked.

After a little of the calculations Tom replied: ,,Emmm, more than a weak ego".

Levi looked like he was about to solve a puzzle, so he asked another question: ,,When you moved here, was there still a summer break at your old school?"

Tom eyed him suspiciously: ,,Yes...?".

Now the beige canine had everything that he needed to explain what was going on: ,,Well, you see... We actually started our school a month ago".

,,How is that?" Thomas asked shocked.

,,It seems like we are starting holidays quicker than it is in your past school" Levi shared his thoughts.

Thomas nodded slightly and said: ,,It seems that... No one even told me about this..." he disappointedly sighed.

,,That's sucks.." the husky said.
Then his eyes wander to the floor, he grabbed his arm with another paw and shyly spoke: ,,I haven't started learning yet. Actually I wanted to leave it all for tomorrow. So... would you like to come over to my house after class to study together?"

His sky blue eyes were full of hopefulness, and his face was screaming Agree, Agree, Agree. Tommy couldn't say no to him, but he wanted to tease him a little: ,,Well, I don't know...".

Levi's face painted gloomy at this point. He grabbed foxes wrist and said: ,,I will help you with all my strength. I-It's always better to study with someone else. It will be fun...I promise..." he was slightly shaking Tom's paws with every word he spoke.

He wanted it so badly, and Thomas couldn't keep him in suspense any longer: ,,Yes you're right, let's do it like you said".

Levi jumped from happiness after hearing that, his tail was wagging in all possible directions and his lips formed a smile from one ear to another. A second later he stuck to the foxes body in a tight hug saying: ,,I won't let you down".

This sudden move made Thomas cheeks burn to light pink, his body also reacted by heating up. Again those feelings appeared, but this time Thomas didn't mind of them, he was enjoying it. After around 10 seconds furs separated, standing in front of each other. Tom noticed then that he wasn't the only one who was enjoying it. Levi was also blushed on his face, which he tried to hide by looking down. Thomas also didn't let him see his embarrassed face. Then the beige husky asked in low tone: ,,S-so let's maybe go, what do you think?".

The fox chuckled silently by seeing and hearing his embarrassed friend, then he replied to him: ,,Yup, let's go"

Both cubs exited the school, landing in the park where friends said goodbye to each other. Tom walked to the bus station, and shortly after the vehicle arrived which brought him back home.

His house was abandoned again, so the red fox had some free time for himself. Thomas was actually waiting for his parents, because even if he agreed to Levi, he still had to ask them. It was just a formality, because it was obvious that they would contest, but they had the last word. Tom also wanted some explanations from them, why about such major things he had to find out by his peers and not by them.

Tommy was relaxing in his room when he suddenly heard the front door opening. Opposed to yesterday, Tom didn't run to them, he rather stayed calm. A few minutes passed and the sound of cracking stairs came to the cub, which ended by his door, that started opening slowly. Through them, an orange muzzle peaked out, looking around the room. Then the whole head popped out, making an eye contact with Tom that was sitting by his desk, in the far left corner of the room.

,,Hi! I came back" Max said waving her paw in greetings.
,,Yup I can see" Thomas jumped out of the chair and moved towards his sister, hugging her when he reached her.
,,Ouuu, looks like someone was missing me, didn't you?" she said in a motherly tone.
Thomas looked at her with one eye closed saying: ,,Well... Maybe a bit".
The young vixen put her paw on Thomas hair, starting to stroke them lightly and then she asked: ,,So, how was today Tommy?"
Visibly enjoyed with both closed eyes now Tom replied to her: ,,Was good. How about you?".
,,Same for me" she patted him last time and then she let him go saying: ,,I came to tell you that parents are nearby, so they should be in a moment"
,,Oh.. Thank you" he smiled and both foxes turned into their rooms.

Max wasn't lying saying that they will be soon. After around 10 minutes both parents, with grocery bags entered the house. This time, Thomas ran down the stairs for greeting. He helped them with the bags, in the meantime talking casually. Tom wanted to ask his questions, but he decided to wait for the diner, because his mother told him that she is going to start preparing meal and in less than an hour should be ready. So, the cub headed back to his room, continuing playing on his laptop.

An hour later, the mother called everybody and the family gathered in the dining room. Everyone took their seats with a meal waiting for each one.

,,So, Tommy would you like to share with us, how was your day?" The oldest fox asked, spearing one of the potatoes with the fork.
Tom in reply moved his head left and right saying: ,,Well, sure" he cleared his throat and spoke ,,Today wasn't any special day. I haven't received any grades, I didn't find any new friends but I was hanging out with Levi."
Then he remembered questions that he wanted to ask: ,,But there is one thing that I want to talk with you, both" he looked directly at them.
They were concerned about his words ,,Yes? What's the matter?" the mother spoke for both.

,,Umm My last lesson was biology, and the teacher said that there will be a test on Thursday, which seemed strange to me. After that class, I talked with Levi and he told me that they started school a month ago. Shouldn't I know about it?" He said it in confused but also irritated tone.

His mom looked madly at the older fox saying ,,Joel...?"

He replied by putting his paws together in front of him at eye level, hiding his face behind them, which looked like he was praying.

,,Oh my...." Vixen annoyed said.
,,You had one job to do, one job Joel, ONE!" she yelled out of her lungs which made other furs jump a bit. Matter of fact, kids started giggling by seeing how their mother was making their dad guilty.

,,Arrh, y-you know what?" The older canine wanted to counter her words, but he knew that she was right, because he was responsible for settling all matters concerning the school after arriving here. He sighed and looked apologetically at her saying: ,,You are right..". Then his sight turned at the kids, directing words to them: ,,I'm really sorry, that I forgot to tell you about this..."

The young foxes looked at each other, both gave a nod, then Tom turned to his father saying: ,,It's ok dad", then his sister added: ,, It wouldn't change that much for me, so I'm fine too".

The father breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but when he gazed at the older vixen, he noticed that she still had a hostile face.

She took a big breath and said to him ,,You are lucky to have such kids..".

,,I've No doubt about that" the older canine replied taking a sip of water.

Tom still didn't ask one question so he spoke: ,,There is one thing more".
It took the attention of others so he continued: ,,Levi invited me to his house tomorrow to study together for that test. Can I go?"

,,Yes you can son!" His dad shouted out.

The older vixen gazed at him with narrowed eyes saying to him through her teeth: ,,You better be silent!"

He looked down at his plate and said under his breath: ,,Okey, sorry..."

Then the mother turned to Thomas saying happily: ,,Of course you can! That's awesome of him!"

,,Thanks you both!" Tom said to his parents. Then he looked at his sister asking: ,,And you? How about your day?".

She swallowed a piece of food that she took a moment ago and spoke: ,,Well, me hmm, it was surely better than yesterday. There is one girl that I was hanging out with, nothing special but at least I could talk about something with someone. Also there is a boy that tried to bring my attention to himself, which was kinda funny." she said with a smirk. ,,I also noticed one thing" her eyes wandered at a younger fox ,,Did you see any other foxes Tommy?" She asked with expression full of attention.

Tom was searching his head, trying to find anything, but only what he remembered was a chemistry teacher, which was a white fox. ,,Emm, I don't think so"

She nodded slightly: ,, Exactly. I found only three on my floor. I don't know if it is good or not, but what I know for sure is that I feel eyes on my. It's so strange..." she confused headed back to her meal.

Thomas remembered his conversation with Oliver, who said that there are a few foxes at town in general and also what he said about relations levi with foxes. ,,Didn't it make us special?" He asked tilting slightly his head.

She smiled and replied: ,,I guess we are".

That was the last sentence said by the table and after the diner everyone went to their directions.

As Tom reached his desk he sat on the seat wanting to play more but then a wave of reluctance hit him, so he picked up his phone and headed to his bed. When he lay down lazily, he turned on his device noticing a message from Levi.
I want to apologise if I pushed you too hard today. I don't want to force you to anything, if you don't feel like it...
Thomas was reading the husky message with an uncontrolled grin. He moved his paw pads into the screen and started writing:
I totally don't feel forced or anything! I'm very happy that we will spend some more time with each other. My parents already know that I will go to you, so everything is clear here. See you tomorrow:)
He dropped his phone on his belly and wrapped his paws over his head closing his eyes. ,,You are soo silly" he said with a wide grin on his face. Then he felt a vibration that spread out the whole middle part. Thomas immediately reached his phone seeing a reply from the husky.
That's awesome to hear! I can't wait for tomorrow. I wish you a pleasant night Thomas;)
Tom chuckled a bit and typed back:
You too Levi:)

The rest of his day passed casually by watching and playing on his phone. A couple of hours later when it got darker, his mother called him for the last meal of the day.
After him he just went straight to his bathroom to brush teeth and take a shower. Tom still had a lot of time to spend as he wanted, but he decided that resting before the next day would be more lucrative than wasting time on doing nothing productive. This time he skipped the diary, considering that tomorrow he will have more content to write.

Thomas laid down, quickly falling into the world of dreams and nightmares.....

************

*Knock knock*, with this sound the door opened slightly and the voice said: ,,Honey time to get up". Thomas shuffled his body on the mattress, whining and mumbling under his nose in the meantime. The doors closed and with them the cub opened his eyes. He stretched his limbs, and swift his body to sit. Tom did some breath exercises, and after them he wandered to his bathroom, starting his daily routine. He had to put something on, so he took the pants from yesterday and a clean purple T-shirt. Later on the fox moved down to eat breakfast. He greeted with both parents, and ate a plate of french toast that was waiting for him. This time the cub had to arrive at school by itself, because his sister started her classes later. He moved upstairs to brush his teeth and took a backpack. Now, ready to go he said goodbye to older foxes and headed to the bus, in a slow walk because he had a lot of time, and sitting on the bench wasn't what he dreamed about. Thanks to this he didn't need to wait too long.

The ride went calmly and faster than usual. When he exited the bus and started walking towards the school, when suddenly from behind him someone called his name. He turned around, seeing a happy wagging husky standing there. He replied to him: ,,Ou hello Levi!", his words were like an invitation for the older canine, which caused him to run and hug his fox friend. At this point Tom wasn't even surprised, so he just tightened him in reverse. From the back of his shoulder, Levi asked: ,,How are you?" Then he bounced off the rad canine and spitting another question: ,,Did you sleep well?"

Thomas laughed by how excited Levi was and replied to him: ,,Yes and yes" turning his head from side to side. ,,And how about you? Did you get enough sleep?" Tom questioned his friend.

,,I feel full of energy!" He said it was a bit louder. Then he grabbed the foxes paw and took some steps forward saying ,,Let's go inside", causing the fox to move.

Levi set a quite high pace, so the road didn't take them too long. The class was mostly empty, but Oliver was already in, so they joined him starting to talk. The bell finally rang, making them sit in their chairs.

The whole school day passed him calmly. He was participating in the lessons actively, listening and doing what teachers were telling to do. In between them he was spending time around Levi and his friends, talking, laughing and having fun in short.
The last class ended, which meant that it is now time to head to his friend's house.

Both furs exited the building, then Levi led the way out of the territory of the school.
They walk for about three minutes, lending in front of a good looking house.

The fence was made of well cut bushes that rounded the territory. There was a huge tree that was covering the whole outside area by his shadow, under which a white two-seater looking comfy swing was hanging down of him. Ground was also enriched with various, often colorful types of plants, giving a pleasant and warm image to the eye. The house itself was mostly white, two-floored with a garage included into him that was closed, but in front of him stood a grey car. The door was preceded by a wooden porch, with some seats and the table.

,,And here we are. I told you that I live close to school" Levi said, standing side on the pavement with both paws pointing at his house.

Thomas was admiring the view in front of him, when he spoke: ,,Well, y-yeh you were right", Tom came to reality, taking an eye at the husky and adding excitedly: ,,Your house looks amazing!".

"Yup, he does. My mom is an architect, so she designed all of this" he said, standing proudly, staring at the building.
,,Let's get inside" the canine added, waving his paw in an invitation, taking some steps towards the entrance and Thomas followed him.

They went inside, both took off their shoes placed on the shoe pad, then they moved further the house. The canines landed in the living room, which was equipped in a long leather sofa, that stood in front of the fireplace made of red bricks in the far left of the room. Above him, was hanging a quite big TV, with speakers on both his sides. On the right was a spiral staircase leading to the next floor. Walls were painted in white colour and the floor was made of oak panels, that looked like real wood. Further there was a passage to the kitchen which Levi went through.

,,Mom, I came back!" Levi shouted out being on the way to the woman.
,,Hi honey! How are you?" A female Samoyed dog replied, when he stuck to her.
,,I'm good! I want to introduce you to someone" he took his mother's paw and led her to the fox, who stood in the passage between the rooms.

,,Mom, this Thomas, Thomas this is my mother" he said, pointing alternately on them.

His mother smiled and leaned over a red fox offering her paw. ,,So that's you. Nice to meet you Thomas".

Tom accepted her paw replying: ,,Nice to meet you Mrs. Mom"

She smiled even more and said: ,,I heard a lot about you"

Levi after hearing that, looked at her with a shocked and slightly terrified expression. ,,Mom..." He whispered to her.

,,Hope only good things" Tom continued the conversation with a grin now.

,,Only such" she also grinned.

,,Mom stop..." The husky covered his embarrassed face with paws.

Thomas noticed it, so he decided to quench his embarrassment by saying: ,,I also talked to my mother about you"

Levi slightly exposed his eyes asking: ,,Seriously?"

Tommy laughed slightly and replied: ,,Yup, also only in good words. There was no other way". He felt uncomfortable saying that, but his willingness to make his friend feel better won against him.

The husky uncovered his face and said shyly: ,,That's-that's...ehmm...Thank you..."

,,Oh how adorable!" The mother said, having her paws together on her right cheek. Then she put them on the shoulders of both cubs saying: ,,You can go up now, the dinner should be soon. Father should be in a moment also"

,,Thanks mommy!" Levi replied to her and both cubs walked out.

They went up the stairs and then walked through the first doors there.

,,You can place your back pack by the wall" Levi said pointing on the spot on the left from the entrance. Tom did it and in the meantime he looked around the room with amazement.

Starting from the left side, firstly was a door to the bathroom. Next, on the dark blue wall was hanging a TV, with a console connected to him and two controllers. Underneath, on the carpet flooring were laying three BeanBags same colour as the wall. The left far corner was hidden by a large two-door wardrobe with a bookshelf attached to him. Further, was a gaming desk standing with two monitors, key board, mouse, headphones and the computer itself. By his right side a large bed stood with some plushies on the edges. There was one that lay in the middle of the bed, which Levi also noticed, making him immediately run to him and hide under pillows. Thomas hasn't seen what it was exactly, but his friend's behaviour made him suspicious what it could be. The fox just pretended that he saw nothing.

Thomas liked the husky's room so much. He felt a little jealous but considering how kind Levi is, he thought that it was completely deserved, and he said:
,,Your room looks so cool!"

,,Yup he is. Often me with my friends gather here and spend some good time together. I would like to see you here too. Would you like to?" He looked at him with slightly puppy eyes.

Thomas smiled happily: ,,Of course I want to! Thank you for inviting me"

,,I am the one who should say thank you" then he moved to the bookshelf, taking the biology book and his notebook.
,,So lets study!"

,,Yup the time has come! "

The cubs sat on the floor and started to study muscle/skeleton system. In fact Levi was teaching the red fox, by showing on his own body where each bone/muscles are with along with their size and names. He didn't even have to look into anything, everything seemed be in his mind. That questioned the little fox a bit, because the day before Levi said that today he will just start study all of this. Perhaps he remembered from classes, or maybe he straight lied only to bring the fox under his roof and spend some time with him? Tom thought that even if he actually lied to him, then it doesn't matter at this point, because he was gaining knowledge in an fun way, rather than alone in his room.

In the meantime Levi had to go to the toilet and Thomas still had in mind the mysterious plushie that the husky hid before. When the older canine went into his bathroom, Tom immediately ran to the bed. He knows that searching in someone's private things is very bad behaviour, but the curiosity was higher this time. He reached under the pillow and grabbed the plushie out. Without any surprises, it was a fox plushie. Thomas laughed slightly and booped the nose saying: ,,You are kinda cute". He wanted to put him back, but then he noticed something, that explained why Levi had panicked so much before. That wasn't just a fox plushie, it was him. Everything was exactly like he, the specific ears, green eyes, even the fur was the same. He stood there as if frozen, without knowing how he should react to this. Then he suddenly heard the sound of flushing water, which made him quickly put him back and ran to the place where they were sitting. He sat breathing slightly faster, and second later Levi went out of the bathroom.

,,Okay, now I'm fully ready!" Levi laughed.

Thomas swallowed and replied: ,,Ye you surely do"

They continued studying but this time Tom constantly had in mind what he found out.
Did he likes me that much?
This question was swirling around in his head like a F1 car. It was a very strange and terrifying discovery, but deep down Tom even liked it? Now he had some kind of admirer, that was also his best friend...

After some time later the mother called the cubs downstairs to eat dinner. They went down and to their surprise, someone else was waiting for them.

,,Dad!" Levi yelled, ran to hug his father. ,,Why didn't you come upstairs to greet?" He questioned the older canine.

,,I didn't want to disturb you in your studies" the father replied. Then he looked at the fox and said: ,,And you must be Thomas, didn't you?" Levi let him stand up from the chair, ,,It's great to finally meet you!" He stuck out his paw.

Thomas shook with him paws replying with a smile: ,,So do I". He noticed something really weird, because he was a dark wolf. Levi's parents were totally different from him, he didn't inherit any visible traits from them.
Something is wrong here....

,,Let's sit. As I know the dinner should be ready" the wolf said, and cubs complied with the request.

Shortly after, the female canine brought the plates with lasagne, which Thomas loves, so he was pleased to eat. While consuming they were talking, mostly the fic was questioning, like "Do you like the town?", "How you fell in the new school?" Etc. He couldn't say anything bad, because so far nothing unpleasant happened to him.

Tom also found out more about Levi's parents. He already knows that his mother is an architect, but she also have own company, which he is focused on the most. On the other hand, the father said that he is a real estate developer, specialising in commercial buildings. That explained to Thomas why they had such a beautiful house, with all the high end equipment. They didn't ask about the fox's parents, which he was glad for. Tom wasn't ashamed of their professions at all, because his mother was a psychiatrist and the father was an electrical engineer, but talking about them with in fact strangers, felt wrong for him.

When they finished, the parents took care of cleaning and the cubs headed back to studying. It took them another hour to finish, and at this point it was already 6.p.m. Even if Thomas had a good time there, he felt that it was time to come back home. He wanted to call for his father to come for him but then Levi proposed that his dad could do it. Tom insisted on it but Levi pointed out that he bought him there, so he should provide return transport. Tom thought that it was fair, so he agreed, making Levi happy that he convinced the fox. Thomas took his backpack and followed the beige canine down the stairs. Firstly the older cub had to ask his father if he could do it, and he agreed without hesitation. Thomas said goodbye to the female canine and all three males exited the house.

A couple of minutes later they arrived at the destination. Both cubs went out of the car to say goodbye. They stood in front of each other on the sidewalk and Thomas started:

,,Yesterday you said that we will have fun, and you didn't lie to me! I was really enjoying the time spent with you"

Levi started to blushing slightly and he replied: ,,I'm very glad that I didn't disappoint you... We should do it more often, because I enjoyed it also!"

,,Yup we surely do..." The fox said. Tom looked at his friend's blushed face, and he really liked him like that. He wanted to see him more blush, so he came closer and hugged him. That caught Levi of guard, because he was the one who always does it. ,,Thank you for today" Thomas said this while having his left ear glued to a friend's chest. Thanks to this he could hear how the older canine heart was running crazy, and also how his body was warming up.
So you also feel like that? Tom thought, and then he broke the hug. His idea worked better than he expected, because Levi was twice more pink than ever before.

,,I-I also...Tha-thank you" the beige canine stuttered from the embarrassment which was eating him from the inside.

Thomas smiled uncontrollably, so hard that all his teeth were exposed. ,,So see you tomorrow" he said, turning to his house.

,,Ye-yes see ya..." That's what Tom heard from behind.

Proud of himself, he went through the front door, took off his shoes and then he moved deeper into the house.

,,Look who came back" his father said from his shoulder while sitting on the couch with the vixen snuggled on his side.

,,Yup, here I am!" He shouted out with raised paws, while approaching his parents. When he got close enough, the older fox grabbed him and placed him between both parents.

,,I was waiting for your call, but my phone didn't ring, and now you are here. How is that?" Dad questioned the kid.

,,I'm sorry, I should at least notify you that they will give me a ride" Tom replied in an apologetic tone.

The father patted on his hair and said: ,,It's Okay, the most important thing is that you came back in one piece".

,,Tell us, how it was?" the mother asked.

,,Was awesome! We were studying the skeletal and muscle system, and Levi like a good teacher was showing on himself where they are and how they work! Thanks to this I learned it by heart!" The cub excitedly told.

She snuggled at him and said:,,How wonderful of him. Maybe you should reward him somehow?"

,,Yes I should... I just need to find something good" he replied to his maker, thinking that it's a fantastic proposition, but how to achieve it?

,,You need to think about what he likes. I know that you barely know him, but maybe you already noticed something." His mother tried to turn his mind.

Thomas didn't need to think long, he knows that Levi really likes him. He just had to find the way to give himself in his paws. Then, like a first lightning strike while a storm hit him,
SLEEPOVER! He shouted out inside his head. ,,Mom I found it! Can he come for a sleepover from Friday to Saturday?" He asked, looking at her with his puppy green eyes.

She laughed seeing him like that, because it was rare of him: ,,You never organised any sleepovers before. Are you sure you can handle it?"

The little fox moved himself to knelling on mother laps and looking closely into her eyes: ,,You don't believe in me hmm?" He said in a low tone and narrowed his eyebrows.

Vixen made the same facial expression and in the same tone replied : ,,Don't disappoint me Tommy"

,,So you agree?!"

,,Yes, of course I do! This is your friend, so how could I not agree?"

,,YAY!" He yelled out of his lungs and snuggled to her.

,,And what about me?" father said from the other side. When Thomas took an eye on him, he added, being falsely sad: ,,You still haven't asked me...".

His fake sorrowful tone worked on the young fox, so Tom moved towards him. ,,I'm sorry. I shouldn't skip you... Can Levi come to us?". His paws were holding the older canine by his arm, and he himself was looking down with guilt.

,,I don't know Tommy..." Dad continued teasing him. He looked slightly at his wife, to see her reaction and she was holding her laugh, which gave him permission to go further: ,,I don't know if I want to have two teens like you in my house. You both would be probably very loud...".

,,No no no, we-we will be silent, so much that you wouldn't even notice any signs of life from us..." Tom somehow tried to counter his dad's words.

On the older fox face appeared smirk and when he gazed on the vixen, she immediately burst out laughing, which infected the other parent. Thomas sitting in the middle of the circus had no idea what was happening so he questioned: ,,Why are you laughing?"

,,I was joking! Of course you can bring him here!" Father said still laughing.

Thomas firstly felt angry but after a moment also he joined the laughing party.

,,Oh you my little silly" his mother trapped him in his arms while saying that.

,,Yup, you got me this time" the cub replied relaxing on her mother.

,,Are you hungry? I can reheat the dinner for you" female fox asked the kid.

,,No I don't need to. I ate at Levi"

,,Ow how good, there will be more for me!" His father joked, making everyone in the room laugh again.

When the stopped Tom asked: ,,Can I go to my room now?"

,,Yes go, be free!" Mother said, releasing him from her embrace.

,,Thank you, both!" He said, quickly moving away from them.

When Tommy reached his room, he threw himself on the bed and took out his phone. He wanted to notice Levi what he was planning, so the paws started tapping:
Hi! I wanted to thank you for today again. I feel that leaving you with nothing in return is just unfair, so would you like to come on Friday for a sleepover?
He was about to send the message, but then he thought that his reaction would be priceless and when he sent it he would not see his happiness. Tom still wanted to text him somehow, but without telling straight what's the matter, he just wanted to make him excited for it.
Hi Levi! I just want to again thank you for today and I have something for you in reverse;)
That's going to be fun...
Tom put the phone down with a proud smirk. Then he rolled out of the bed and walked to his desk. Halfway, he heard a vibration from behind, so Tom turned around and looked at the phone that he left on the blanket. He immediately started giggling mischievously, and when he picked up his smartphone, a message appeared on the screen:
I'm also thank you! If I can ask, what do you have for me???
You will explode if I tell you....
With a huge grin he responded to him:
I can't say you now, tomorrow I will get you to know, for now good night my friend:)
Not even 10 seconds last when Levi text back:
Okey, if you say so... I can't wait to hear it! Sleep well Tommy!
,,HAHA I knew that it will work!" he was really proud of himself.

Now, in a good mood Thomas could just relax. Most of the time he spent on playing games, but in the meantime he did his homework. A bit after 9.p.m. he went downstairs to eat the last meal of the day.

During the meal, Thomas told Max how was at Levi's house and that he was coming over for a sleepover. She was very pleased to hear how well her brother was doing. Max thought he'd have a lot of problems there, but it turns out she's the one he should be worried about. The young vixen also shared her day, but it turned out that nothing special had happened.

When Thomas came back to his bedroom noticed that all willingness to play just purified. He was also fully fed up which made him sleepy a bit, so the young fox decided there was no point in prolonging it any longer, so he started to preparing to sleep. He first took a leak then brushed his teeth and at the end he took a warm, comfy shower, that made him only more sleepy.

This day was a must to describe, so Thomas gathered all his energy left and grabbed his diary, writing:
"Dear diary, today was a beautiful day! Levi invited me to his home to study. Finally we could spend some time together, and have fun together! I found some interesting things about him. He has a plushie looking exactly like me! He really likes to hug with me, so maybe he snuggles him to sleep? It's kinda cute..."

The last word made his stomach slightly tingle from inside. He was confused that this feeling appeared again, but this time he felt pleasure rather than anything bad about it. His lips formed in a promise smile and the pencil again touched the paper:
"Today I hugged him for goodbye, which caused him to blush like never before, which was really funny to see! There is one thing that is weird. His parents are completely different from him! I've never seen anything like that... Well probably I'm just delusional and everything is ok..."
The young fox thought about it for a moment. It looked really weird for him, but at the end of the day does it matter when Levi lives such a beautiful life? That ultimately convinced the little fox to drop the topic. The page looked too empty, so Tom decided to draw the same plushie, additionally writing at his stomach "Baby Thomas". He closed his diary and blindly slid him under the bed.

Full of happiness, he curled up in the blanket, closed his eyes, letting the symphony of the silent night devour him...
