Hey so remember how I said I know myself I take forever? Well I'm glad I put that in so y'all don't think I immediately died, the first chapter was very well received and I gotta say it feels amazing to read such nice reviews and comments praising something I made so thank you very much!

Anyways here's the next chapter for you, please enjoy!

Peach knew how to throw little get togethers every now and then, parties with everyone at the smash mansion she demanded be had monthly in the form of pool parties, barbecues, etc.

Wolf preferred the type of party that included waking up the next morning on someone's couch with Fox on his chest and nothing but a blanket covering them, memories so distorted from the events of the night before that they could only wonder just how good of a time was had as they gathered lost clothing and quickly left the scene together before anyone recognized them, but these were nice too.

It was also probably the most social anyone saw Wolf, talking and laughing so long as Fox was nearby.

Wolf raised his beer to his mouth to take a swig.

"You're a lot more talkative this time around." Fox smiled up at him, his shoulder wrapped in Wolf's other arm.

The firepit crackled in front of them, Illuminating them as they sat on the outdoor couch.

"How do you figure that?" Wolf said before finishing his sip.

"You talked to Chrom instead of blowing him off like earlier."

A week ago on the train

Lucina and Robin should be around somewhere thought Chrom as he stepped aboard the train.

Looking to the right and finding nobody he looked to the left, a Wolf man was walking towards him with a pink ball with ears and a green clad child next to him.

Chrom raised his hand to greet the future opponent/potential friend, his daughter and fateful tactician had both stated how warm and approachable most of the Smashers were.

"Hello! My name is Prince Chrom of Ylisse, pleased to make your acquaintance, you-"

"Don't care, looking for someone." The bipedal lupine grunted out as he walked past Chrom, not bothering to make eye contact.

"...must be Wolf…" Chrom faltered on his greeting as he watched him walk away, the child looking back with an apologetic glance.

Well, they did say most of them were warm and approachable, not all of them.

"Father!" Chrom heard the familiar voice of his daughter from the direction the wolf man came and caught her as she ran to give him a hug while both Robins followed to greet him as well.

"Eh." Wolf said in remembrance of the event. "We're cool now, he doesn't seem like the type of guy to hold grudges, just about every single one of the big sword users here are the spritely-friendly kind."

"Everyone here but you is the spritely-friendly kind." Fox said with the enthusiasm of someone stating what could be considered common knowledge. "The only person who could out grump you is Ganondorf but even Bowser is more social than you." Fox pointed to the turtle being used as a jungle gym by Bowser Jr, Ness, Lucas, Pikachu and Pichu—all climbing and holding onto the spikes on his shell while Peach giggled in front of him watching it all.

"Probably only cause his kids here to soften him up" Wolf said.

"If it weren't for me you'd have just stayed in the room."

"Well yeah if that's where you were."

"Anyway, it's a nice night and everyone's having a good time and talking. Don't you think it's fun?" Fox gestured towards the party goers that filled the air with laughter and conversation.

Wolf squeezed Fox a little closer to him as a nighttime breeze shifted by "It's not like I mind it, just don't see much of a point." He said.

"Just think of this as a vacation every time Smash comes around for us." Fox smiled.

"What like we don't already take vacations all the time back home?" Wolf questioned then smirked. "See, cause then it's just you and me I have to worry about." Wolf wrapped his arms around Fox and pulled him down with him as he layed back on the couch.

"You mean you worry about everyone here?" Fox asked as if he had just caught Wolf telling him a horribly embarrassing secret.

Wolf shifted to get both of them comfortable in the new position with Fox against his chest. "A ruthless killer like me? Never. Except maybe for Jigglypuff and Gale I'll fucking crush someone's skull for them."

Fox laughed.

He was right though, coming here did feel like a real sort of vacation away from Lylat at least, still not free from having to wonder how things were going back on Sargasso, hopefully Panther hadn't burned down the place.

...

Wolf quickly decided to put his faith in Leon to keep everything in order before he let the idea of calling to make sure everything was ok manifested.

Wolf noticed the silence between them, he followed Fox's gaze towards the others all doing their own thing.

Marth and Link were giving the younger Links a sword lesson standing in front of a homemade dummy.

Squirtle, Kirby and Pichu all ran around and on top of Incineroar who had a look of fake boredom and forced uninterest as he let them use him as a plaything similar to Bowser earlier except everyone knew by now Incineroar adored playing with children and being admired by smaller Pokémon, he was probably a gushing mess internally right now.

The Wii Fit Trainers were giving a peaceful nighttime outdoor yoga lesson for anyone who wanted to join.

Daisy dangled her legs in the pool while she conversed with a swimming Samus Aran and Pit trying to ease himself into the cold water to talk as well.

Even Robin was laughing with Lucina, Little Mac and Luigi instead of having his nose in another book and-

"Wow is that Snake? Dressed casually?" Fox said at the same time Wolf had noticed the same spectacle.

Cargo shorts and a tacky Hawaiian button down shirt without the headband seemed to oddly work for the man.

"This really must be the ultimate Smash if Snake of all people is out talking to everyone." Wolf said.

"Don't remember that happening once in Brawl." Fox responded, Wolf chuckled.

Another silence found its way into the air between them.

Fox twisted around, closed his eyes and buried his cold nose into the hollow of Wolfs neck.

"I'm really glad you're back." Fox wrapped his arms around Wolf while the thick grey fur tickled his nose.

Wolf wasn't sure if the warm feeling he got came from the fire or Fox's body but his face and ears felt hot nonetheless.

Wolf kissed Fox's forehead. "Love you."

Wolf couldn't see the cute smile on Fox's face but he could see the wave of his tail and feel his body relax against his.

Wolf felt nothing but serenity with Fox's breath against his neck as he looked up towards the stars.

Wolf had to admit it was pretty smart of Fox to pump Falco full of drinks earlier so he'd pass out in the mansion leaving them to enjoy themselves and relax together in the moment.

Nobody else seemed to care, nor probably even knew and understood their situation back home yet the few that caught on like Bayonetta knew to keep it from Lombardi otherwise they'd be in deep shit for it, if not for Wolf's sake then they're doing it cause they're all friends of Fox's.

Whatever the reason, Wolf was glad it provided a sort of safe haven for them, mostly full of people who couldn't care less or were outright supportive, not that it would stop them if they weren't but it was definitely nice to know he could freely be intimate with Fox without possible repercussions for once.

God what a great party.

A couple of minutes later in the comfortable position, Fox lifted his head up to look Wolf in the eyes.

"We should get in the pool with everyone else!" He smiled.

"Alright." Wolf agreed before making a move to get up, giving Fox a quick peck on the cheek.

"Hey." Wolf started as they both stood.

"Yeah?"

"Do you have your phone on you?"

"No, why?"

Wolf's mouth pointed into a sharp evil grin. "Good."

Before Fox could run when he made the connection, Wolf had grabbed him and quickly swept him off his feet into his arms.

With Fox screaming Wolf took off towards the pool, running past other partygoers and a few who jumped out of the way.

"WOLF NO DON'T-"

Wolf leapt from the edge of the pool, over a floating Shulk and Squirtle and cannonballed it into the water with Fox.

Wolf, feeling satisfied with himself, let go of Fox and allowed both of them to float back above the water's surface, Fox's drenched annoyed stare contrasted with Wolf's shit-eating grin.

"You're a dickhead you know." Fox stated.

"Love you too."

Wolf could hear some of the people who had witnessed the event laughing, enjoying themselves as much as they could.

Wolf was sure they were definitely going to enjoy their time here.

So yeah kinda short conclusion was never really sure where to end off on it but plain and simple I want to move away from Smash, I have another version of the second chapter that was majority the first chapter but from Wolf's perspective (Shorter of course but the whole thing was still pretty lengthy) and then a thing after where the first chapter left off that I think is good but only a small portion of it, which is a big part of why I'm saying I'm moving away from Smash finally cause it just seems oddly limiting to me, of course I'd love to do something with World of Light but maybe some other time, and perhaps I'll clean up the first idea I had for chapter 2 and put it on this as a bonus, but for now we're finally going to the main StarFox universe boys and girls.

Till the next time, hope you enjoyed!
