Troy sighed in pleasure, leaning back in seat as he patted his full stomach. Canvas, happy to see that his breakfast satisfied his boyfriend, giggled a little as he collected both of their plates. Even though he knew his cooking was up to par for the Gryphon, the fact that he was able to satisfy a carnivore with vegetarian cuisine was a big confidence boost for the stallion.

While he rested in his chair, the sound of clinking plates from the kitchen was enough to keep Troy from falling asleep in his seat. Because of that, the Gryphon's eyes reluctantly opened, remembering what he had to do for himself. After giving off a tired groan, Troy hobbled off his seat and made his way into the kitchen.

Canvas was busy washing the dirty dishes, fortunate that there were so few to clean this morning. Meanwhile, Troy lumbered over to one of the cabinets, opening it as he tried to find his pills.

"Hey Canvas," asked the Gryphon after searching for a moment. "Where are my protein pills?"

"Ummmm…" Recalling seeing that bottle before, Canvas tried to remember where it specifically was. Since Gryphons required some meat in their system to properly function, Equestria was generous enough to make protein supplements for anyone who needed them, absolutely free. Even though it wasn't exactly a plate of bacon, it still gave all the necessary nutrition for a Gryphon without having to actually eat any real meat.

"Wait a minute." Canvas remembered that he may have moved it when putting away groceries, and hopped up on the counter to check for himself. While Troy stood slightly surprised, the stallion moved his way in front of him to scourge the cabinet. "I think I put it in here somewhere…"

Canvas bent in to inspect the further reaches of the cabinet, leaving his lower half raised in front of the Gryphon. Looking at the stallion's backside just inches from his face, Troy began to blush a little as a small smirk grew on his beak. Slowly, he moved a claw up to Canvas's leg, stroking it gently as he looked up at him.

"Take your time," cooed the Gryphon, prompting Canvas to pause for a second.

With his head still in the cupboard, Canvas made a brief sigh as he felt Troy's talons brush against his fur. He knew what the Gryphon was trying to do; however, Canvas really didn't seem to mind. In fact, the stallion turned his head back slightly after finding Troy's protein pills.

"Troy…" Still inside the cupboard, Canvas looked back at Troy with a smirk while his forelegs were on top of the counter. "What do you think you're doing?"

Troy, who was busy eyeing Canvas's flank, looked back up to his face with a grin of his own. "Nothing… Just admiring the view."

Canvas chuckled a bit, and tossed Troy's bottle over to him. "Well, here's your pills."

Troy grabbed the bottle, stepping back so Canvas can hop off the counter. After getting his hooves back on the floor, the pony looked up at Troy while the Gryphon took his pills. "You know," began the stallion with a sensual smirk, "you don't have to try sneaking a peek."

Troy swallowed his pills, closing his bottle before looking down at his coltfriend. "Well, I can't help it," said the Gryphon matter-of-factly with a smirk of his own. He bent his head in before adding, "I guess I've grown quite an… admiration for the Equine body."

Canvas giggled a little, and gave his Gryphon a light nuzzle. When he pulled his head back, the stallion carried a more lustrous look on his face. "Well, what I mean is…"

The aqua pony bent his head in once more, giving Troy a small peck on the beak while continuing in a devilish tone. "If you really want to take a look…"

Canvas then turned around slowly, walking back towards the sink as he looked back at Troy. "… All you have to so is ask."

Troy's brow raised in surprise, not expecting his coltfriend to be that upfront. However, that didn't keep him from making his grin grow larger. "Oh, really?"

"Mmmm-Hmmm," responded Canvas with a smirk. With his face slightly blushed, the stallion bent himself a little lower, keeping his flank raised as he looked back at Troy enticingly. "So… Anything you want to ask me?"

Seeing where he was going with this, the Gryphon nodded slightly, narrowing his eyes on him as he bent in a tad closer. "I suppose so…"

He lifted a claw out towards Canvas, petting his upright flank to make him mew a little in pleasure. "If you don't mind," said Troy in a low and randy tone of voice, "you think I could… get a good look?"

Keeping his smile on his muzzle, Canvas was happy to nod to his mate. "Sure thing, big guy…"

With that, Canvas bent himself down completely, keeping his rear raised for the Gryphon while they were alone in the kitchen. And with a devilish stare back at his boyfriend, Canvas didn’t hesitate to lift his tail, giving the Gryphon a good look underneath.

"Mmmmm…" Troy grinned wide as he petted Canvas's flank, his eyes glued on the presented prize in front of him. His talons went down to both of the stallion's cheeks, being careful as he slowly pulled them apart for a second. "Damn, that's nice…"

Canvas hissed through gritted teeth, still feeling a bit sore from their activities earlier that morning. Fortunately, it wasn't enough pain to hinder the excitement from getting this kind of attention. After exhaling in an eager shudder, Canvas looked back at his Gryphon with a smirk as he kept his tail lifted high. "You like what you see, baby?"

"Oh yeah…"Troy kneaded at Canvas's rump with his claws as he growled in pleasure, staring at his prone form with an enticed grin on his beak. Hearing the Gryphon's low growling from behind him, Canvas found it difficult to not just lay his head down on the kitchen floor, just to let his love have fun and---

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"EEP!" Canvas instantly pulled himself back upright in a panic, shuffling away from Troy as he pulled his tail down instinctively. Troy, having heard the knocks at the front door as well, turned his head to the window in an instant, hoping to Celestia that nopony was peeping in on them like this. "Coming, coming!" shouted the stallion semi-frantically as he rushed over to the front door; his hind legs pulled apart slightly as he walked, mostly due to the fully-unsheathed evidence of his arousal that was dangling between them.

When he reached the front door for his living space, Canvas took a breath to calm himself down before opening it, making sure that he was standing at an angle so only his front half was visible. "Hello-- Oh, hey, Lyra!"

Troy walked up behind his stallion and smiled when he saw the mint unicorn. Keeping a chipper smile on her muzzle, Lyra didn’t seem to give any evidence that she was even slightly aware that she interrupted them. "Hey, guys! You two got a minute?"

"Uhhh…" Canvas slowly looked back at Troy with a hint of worry in his face, neither of them sure whether or not it would be wise to let their friend inside and see anything. Not catching a suitable answer from his boyfriend either, Canvas bit his lip when he looked back at Lyra. "Well… what is it?"

"Well…" Lyra lit up her horn, using her mint aura to pull out a large red pamphlet from her saddlebags. "I know that ever since you two became a couple, Bon-Bon and I weren't really able to celebrate it. So…"

Canvas picked up the glossy-printed pamphlet in his hooves, Troy bending in to see what it was. Surprisingly enough, it looked to be a menu (and a rather expensive looking one, at that) from that new Prench restaurant that recently opened in Ponyville.

"I know it's a little sudden," continued Lyra in an enthusiastic tone, "but Bon-Bon and I already got a reservation for ourselves, and we would love to have you two come along. It'd be like a double-date!"

"Wow, really?" asked Canvas. He looked back up at Lyra with a surprised smile. Even though he knew that Lyra and Bon-Bon really hadn't had the chance to celebrate his relationship with Troy yet (mostly due to Troy's play practice and Canvas's painting for Celestia), this was still a huge gesture of them. His eyes went back down to the menu, trying to keep his attention on the impressive cuisine listed instead of the prices. "I… I don't know what to say…"

"And don't worry," added the unicorn with a small smirk. "I happen to know the manager from back in college. He's a good friend of mine, and he promised to give us a twenty percent discount."

"Well, I'm not worried about that," replied the stallion with a shrug of his shoulders. "I still have a lot left over from all the sales I made at that art gallery. Besides, I think it'd be nice to do something like thi--"

"OOH!" Troy's eyes widened in an instant before snatching the menu from Canvas's hooves. While the Gryphon held it close to his face, catching something mentioned near the bottom of the food list, Lyra made a low chuckle while narrowing her eyes on them.

"Well, I don't think I need to ask what your boyfriend noticed!"

Troy put the menu back down to look back at Lyra, his eyes shot open with an intense stare. "There's shrimp?"

Hearing how seriously Troy asked that, both Canvas and Lyra giggled involuntarily. Lyra merely nodded before answering with a smile, "Yeah, there's shrimp. I had a feeling that would catch your attention."

Troy's face lit up like a tree on Hearth's Warming Eve, Canvas giving a smile of his own before turning to Lyra. "You know what? I think a double date would be a great idea!"

"Awesome!"! The mint unicorn looked satisfied as she bumped the stallion's hoof in approval. "Dinner at seven it is!"

Sitting in his chair thatwas obviously too small, Troy had a fairly noticeable frown on his beak when the last of the dinner plates were floated away from the table. Even though the promise of shrimp was enough to have the Gryphon practically skipping to the restaurant with his coltfriend, the actual meal he received quickly changed his demeanor. While it may have been an upscale restaurant, the price for only three pieces of shrimp (and not even big ones either) was still extremely outrageous.

Seeing the look of disappointment on Troy's face, both Lyra and Bon-Bon seemed a bit guilty while sitting across from the Gryphon and Canvas. "Sorry, Troy," began Lyra in a sympathetic tone. "I seriously didn't know it was that limited either."

Troy sighed heavily before shrugging. "Oh, it's okay. I should've figured it'd be like that anyway."

"Well," added Canvas while sitting beside the Gryphon, hopeful to lift his spirits a little, "at least you don't have to take your protein pills, right?"

Troy made a faint nod before reaching for his glass of wine. "Yeah, I guess…" While taking a sip of his drink, which was actually pretty decent for Equestrian wine, he thought to himself bitterly, I'd rather pay nothing for a pill than fifty bits for three tiny shrimp pieces!

"Just so you know," piped up Bon-Bon in a more enthusiastic tone, "I heard that their desserts are really good!"

"That's true," added Lyra with a smile on her muzzle. "I heard from Rarity that their mousse is 'Absolutely divine', in her words."

Canvas gave off a small chuckle. "Yeah, that sounds like something she'd say."

Troy's disappointed expression started to lesson a little, and a small smile appeared on his beak as he thought about the prospect of dessert. "Well… if there's anything Equestria does better than back home, it's the desserts. I don't know what it is, but you guys know how to make sweet stuff."

Canvas looked up at him with a small blush at the corners of his muzzle, and he nuzzled the Gryphon from the side. "Gryphons make some pretty good sweet stuff too…"

"Awwww!" Both mares couldn't help looking sweetened by the affections of the two across from them. Of course, as soon as he overheard them, Canvas pulled back sheepishly, his blush growing a little deeper from embarrassment.

Chuckling in delight, Troy opened one of his wings out to wrap around the stallion, pulling him back in to his side. "Oh, come on. Don’t be shy."

Sinking in against the feathers of the Gryphon's chest, Canvas's content smile grew as he felt his blush growing warmer. "I can't help it. All of this still feels new to me."

Bon-Bon shrugged and picked up her wine glass with a hoof. "I can understand that kind of feeling. I remember Lyra was like that when we first dated."

"No I wasn't!" piped up the unicorn defensively.

"Oh really? Remember when you got that nosebleed when you saw me in that wet dress?"

"BON-BON!"

While Lyra covered her reddened face with both hooves, Troy and Canvas snickered before scooting closer to each other.. The unicorn pouted as she glared at her wife and muttered, "You really don't need to bring up that sort of thing, honey!"

"Hey," spoke up Troy with a smirk on his beak, "you heard a lot from Canvas about the two of us, so turnabout is fair play, don't you think?"

Even though Canvas slumped down a little in slight guilt, still feeling bad about admitting their first night so soon to his friends, he had a similar expression as Troy's when he peered up at Lyra. "He kinda has a point, you know. Especially with some of the questions you asked me."

Despite still being upset, Lyra knew that the two actually had a point. But still, after a low huff, the mint-coated mare slumped back in her seat before mumbling, "Oh, come on… I didn't ask that many questions."

Canvas skewed his brow while eyeing the unicorn. "Are you kidding me? You actually asked in a serious tone if Troy had a cloaca."

Troy nearly spat out his wine after hearing that, and looked between Canvas and Lyra wide-eyed. "What?!"

Lyra worked her jaw for a moment, but was unable to make an actual sound due to her panic. While the unicorn sat in a wide-eyed stupor, looking like a deer caught in the headlights of a speeding train, Bon-Bon spoke up in defense of her wife. "To be fair, there aren't that many books about Gryphons at the library."

"Yeah, but still!" Despite looking shocked that Lyra actually thought that, Troy still had an amused smirk while shaking his head in disbelief. "What would make you think I had something like that?!"

"I don't know! I just… I wasn't sure if that part was more like an eagle or a lion's, okay?! I figured it was a fifty-fifty chance!"

While the unicorn looked away with an embarrassed look on her face, Bon-Bon piped up with a smirk on her muzzle. "Oh, don't mind her, guys. Lyra's always been a little weird when it comes to what works in bed."

"WHAT?!" Lyra turned to her wife with a perplexed glare. "What are you talking about?!"

"Oh, come on! Remember when you tried to rub my forehead with your horn?"

Troy and Canvas both chortled a little in surprise, prompting Lyra to speak up in her own defense. "I told you, I wasn't sure if magic stimulation was interchangeable in that way! When I had a boyfriend, he enjoyed it!"

"Because he was a unicorn."

The mint mare groaned and looked away from Bon-Bon. The Earth Pony widened her eyes before turning to Troy and Canvas. "Ooh! That reminds me! I actually talked with her ex-boyfriend one time, and he told me what she did the first time they were together--"

"Honey!" shouted Lyra in a panic. "Don’t mention THAT!"

"Lyra, please! You actually thought that a blowjob meant blowing on it!"

That was enough to make the stallion and Gryphon clench their eyes shut in laughter, barely able to keep themselves in their seats due to how much they were leaning on one-another. Lyra sunk down low enough to practically be underneath the table, an extremely heavy blush on her cheeks. Sighing in slight guilt, Bob-Bon leaning in beside her wife to give a nuzzle. "Okay, okay… that was a little much, I'm sorry…"

Lyra looked up at her with an angry pout. Fortunately, the Earth pony knew just what to do to fix that. Without saying a word, Bon-Bon put her muzzle up to Lyra's ear, giving a gentle kiss to the inside which made the unicorn quickly giggle.

"Hehehe, stop that! It tickles!"

Bon-Bon made several exaggerated smooch noises right into her wife's ear to illicit more giggles from the unicorn. "You forgive me?"

"No! No I…" Even with what she said, Lyra's had a large smile on her muzzle from her wife's tickling. Not able to take anymore, the mare sighed loudly and spoke up before Bon-Bon could continue. "Okay, fine! I forgive you, I forgive you!"

Bon-Bon finally pulled back, allowing her wife to stop laughing and settle back in her seat with a smile. Even though her cheeks were still blushed, Lyra took a few breaths before looking back at Troy and Canvas with a roll of her eyes. "Okay, I… may have asked a bit much about you two. Are we fine?"

Troy nodded happily with a chuckle. "After hearing that? Oh yeah. We're even!"

Canvas and Troy giggled once more, but Lyra didn’t slump down nearly as low this time around. Even though she hated that her wife told them that, she decided to let it pass for the time being. Besides, she still knew more about their love life than they knew about hers.

Happy to see her wife settle down a bit, Bon-Bon bent over to give her a tender kiss on the cheek, which made Troy and Canvas make a similar "Awww" in a semi-mocking tone. Catching that, the Earth pony mare looked at them with narrowed eyes and a smirk. "Oh, ha ha ha."

Sighing with a smile, Bon-Bon looked around before squirming in her seat a bit. "You know, I really should visit the filly's room before dessert arrives."

Thinking it over, Canvas made a small nod before getting out of his seat as well. "Me too. I think I had too much of that cranberry juice."

With that, the two went off to the restrooms, leaving Troy and Lyra sitting across from each other at the table. Biting her lip in uncertainty, the unicorn took a moment before looking up at Troy sympathetically. "Umm… Troy?"

"Hmm?" asked the Gryphon, who was using a talon to rub along the lip of his wine glass in an attempt to make a note stem from it.

"I just wanna say…" Looking away from him for a brief moment, Lyra sighed before continuing in a somber tone of voice. "I… I really am sorry if I badgered Canvas about you two and… how things went."

Troy's brows raised in surprise, not expecting the mare to say something like that. "R-really? I… what brought this up?"

"I dunno. I just didn't want you to get angry at me in secret or anything, so I wanted to say that and clear the air."

"Oh. Well…" Thinking it over, Troy shrugged his shoulders before answering honestly, "I'm really not upset or anything. Rainbow Dash asked me about it around the same time you asked Canvas, so it wasn't like you were the only one. Plus, it helped Canvas and me talk about our relationship a bit, so if anything, it kinda helped us be more honest with each other."

Lyra looked back up at him in slight surprise. "Really?"

"Yeah. Honestly, I'm glad I got to open up with him about some things, so it was actually pretty beneficial for us." Thinking it over, Troy grew a sly smirk before adding with a roll of his eyes, "Plus… it didn't really affect how we've acted, if you catch my drift."

Lyra smirked with narrowed eyes as she made a low giggle, not needing to be explained what he meant by that. "Well, that's certainly good to hear." The mare looked around the posh restaurant a bit, making sure none of the other tables were eavesdropping before leaning in closer to Troy. "If you don't mind me asking, though..."

Realizing she was trying to act discrete, Troy leaned in as well out of curiosity. Keeping her eyes narrowed on him, Lyra asked in a curious tone. "What exactly have you been able to… do for him?"

Troy grew a quizzical expression on his face. "Huh?"

"Well…" Skewing her smirk a bit, the unicorn tilted her head slightly before asking, "I know that Canvas did some things for you, and I was wondering how you've been in regards to… returning the favor?"

Troy's eyes widened in realization. "Ahhh…" Making a light shrug, Troy smiled a little before answering confidently, "Well, I've done a few things that he really enjoyed…" His face blushed a bit as he thought it over, especially in regards to how much the stallion loved his tail. However, when he looked back at the mare, it was his turn to narrow his eyes on her. "Why? Are you asking if I did anything… specific?"

"A little," said Lyra honestly. Growing a small smirk on her muzzle, the unicorn knew that she didn’t need to explain what she meant in words. Instead, she only made a small grin before licking her lips, raising her brows to emphasize whether or not he got that hint.

"Oh… Oh!" Quickly catching her question between the lines, Troy leaned back into his seat before giving his answer. "Well… technically no. I mean, it’s kinda hard to do anything in that department, you know?" The Gryphon used a talon to tap at his beak, making several loud clacks to highlight how tricky that sort of thing would be.

Of course, Lyra just grew an understanding grin. "I thought so." She then lit her horn to float her purse up, opening it to pull out a small box wrapped in a bow. "I wanted to make up for intruding on details of your first time like that, so I got a little something for you to try. It's from a store that Bon-Bon and I go to for certain… adventurous products."

"Ooohh… I think I know that place…" Having remembered flying over the shop a few times during his job, Troy wasn't surprised when he saw the business card on top of the box, which was labeled for Umber's Exotic Products. Even though he didn’t open the box fully, just to make sure nothing popped out or fell to the floor of this nice restaurant, the Gryphon still lifted the lid slightly to see what was inside. His eyes widened when he caught what the packaging inside said. "Ooh! I… I think I heard about these before."

Lyra grew a surprised look at hearing that. "Really? From what I heard, that's a fairly new thing for Gryphons."

"It is," answered Troy with a shrug. He put the box away in Canvas's bag that was sitting by his chair before continuing, "but my brother Blade told me about it once. He mentioned that some girls he hooked up with tried those with him, and they apparently feel pretty good. Of course, I'm not sure how well it would work for a male beak…"

Lyra shrugged with a tilt of her head. "Yeah, I wasn't sure of they were unisex, but I still think it's be worth trying out." She grew a sly smirk before adding, "Who knows? Maybe you'll end up liking it."

Troy chuckled at the thought of that. Even though he'd never think in a million years that he'd even contemplate doing that sort of thing, he also never thought that he would be with a stallion; and given how that turned out for him, it was clear to the Gryphon that some things are well worth exploring. So, with a good idea of what he wanted to try tonight, he gave the unicorn a gracious smile. "Well, maybe I might…"

Troy then narrowed his eyes before his smile turned into a randy smirk. "Especially since I already know not to actually blow on it."

Lyra sputtered out a few noises before turning away with a pout. Troy chuckled in delight before adding, "But seriously though, this is really nice of you to do. So thanks."

The unicorn took a moment before sighing, relaxing a bit to return her gaze toward the Gryphon's. "No prob," replied Lyra with a smile of her own. Before anything else could be said or asked, Bon-Bon and Canvas came back to the table, just as the first of the desserts arrived. "Ooohhh…" Lyra's eyes widened when she saw the plates being floated to their table. "Look at the size of that cake!"

After saying their goodbyes to Lyra and Bon-Bon outside the restaurant, Troy decided to fly Canvas back home instead of walking. And when they arrived back home and entered the barn’s living space, Troy was the first to enter with a happy spring in his step. After getting a (mostly) satisfying meal in his stomach, as well as his love lying on top of his back, it was hard for the Gryphon to not have a smile on his face. "Man, I swear!" Troy waited until Canvas pulled himself off his back before making a long stretch. "That place really did make a great mousse!"

"Well, what did you expect?" Keeping a smile of his own, Canvas pulled off his art bag to hang on the wall. "That place has to compete with Sugar Cube Corner in regards to desserts. Of course they would have to step their game up!"

"Well, it was certainly worth it. Even the portions were generous, which I really didn’t expect! Everything else looked like they were meant for Breezies instead of pon--"

When Troy turned to see Canvas, his words froze when he saw the stallion looking into his bag with confusion. Forgetting what he put in there, the Gryphon's eyes instantly widened when he saw his coltfriend pull out the box Lyra have him.

"Oh!" Troy quickly snatched the box from Canvas's hooves. Holding it in his claw, the Gryphon pulled back from him before growing a nervous blush. "Um… that was kinda… a gift Lyra gave me…"

Canvas skewed his brow in slight confusion. "A gift?"

"Yeah. Just…" Looking away from the stallion for a moment, Troy tried to think of what to say, realizing his throat was tightening up in nervousness. "She kinda… got something for me to… try…"

Canvas's brows slowly began to rise in realization, noticing how the large Gryphon was fidgeting a bit. A small smirk began to creep up at the corners of his lips. "Oh… really?"

Even though a noticeable blush was starting to show through his silver feathers, Troy still nodded faintly before looking back at him. "Yeah… And…" Seeing how that stallion was beginning to give a lustrous smile back at him, Troy's nervous stature started to weaken when he smiled as well. "And I was thinking… maybe…"

Troy then held the box up in his claw, choosing not to open it, but instead motion to the stairs with a growing grin. "I could just… take you upstairs and show you?"

Canvas's smile only became more apparent before walking up to the Gryphon. Looking Troy up and down, practically drinking in the Gryphon’s physique with his eyes, Canvas licked his lips in growing anticipation. The stallion brought a hoof up to Troy's chest, rubbing his soft feathers softly before asking in a surly tone, "Well then… I have a feeling you have something special to show me…"

When he looked down at the pony with a grin of his own, Troy noticed Canvas's nostrils flare for a moment, most likely taking in a hint of the Gryphon's distinct scent. Remembering how the stallion was with his tail the other day, Troy began to wonder whether or not his coltfriend might have had a thing for musk. Either way, the Gryphon had to remind himself to take a mental note for future reference.

"Oh…" Troy leaned his head down to softly nuzzle the stallion, hoping to get him a little worked up with his touch. "I have something very special planned…"

With his face quickly reddening in growing lust, the stallion couldn't hold back anymore. Wrapping his hooves around Troy's head, Canvas pressed his lips against the Gryphon's beak hungrily, letting his body start to override his mind and act on its own. While he kissed Troy's beak deeply, knowing that he was certainly in the mood tonight, Canvas didn’t realize that his own tail was starting to involuntarily rise a little. Of course, when he caught wind of it after pulling his muzzle back, the stallion didn’t seem to mind keeping it raised when he looked up at his boyfriend.

"So, Troy…" Canvas slowly turned himself around as he walked toward the stairway. Knowing that Troy was staring at him, the stallion kept his tail lifted high as he stepped towards the stairs, making sure that the end of it still concealed just enough of his backside so as to not leave him totally exposed. Of course, when he looked back at the increasingly blushing Gryphon, Canvas grinned as he made a strong flick of his tail, giving Troy a good look of what was underneath before "covering" it once more. "Are you just gonna stand there all night?" asked the stallion while slowly walking up the stairs. "Or are you gonna show me what you have?"

The Gryphon shuddered with a randy smile on his beak, his hind-legs already trembling in anticipation as he felt himself getting hotter at the sight of Canvas like this. With the way the stallion was walking up to the bedroom, showing off his body so confidently with each strutting step, it was hard for Troy to believe that he considered himself to be straight just a couple months ago. But now, just the sight of Canvas's luscious rear was enough to make the Gryphon grow hard in an instant before following him.

"Oh, man…" With his voice coming out in an eager growl, Troy kept a strong grip on the box in his claw as he prowled up the stairs towards his mate. When Canvas looked back with a knowing grin on his muzzle, the sight of Troy's predatory stare on him was enough to make the stallion exhale in an excited shudder of his own. Feeling like he was being stalked by a hungry beast in the deepest depths of the Everfree Forest, Canvas's heart was racing when he heard Troy add in a low, purring tone, "You look absolutely… delicious…"

"Oooohhh…" A low giggle escaped the stallion's muzzle before he hopped into the bed. Lying on his stomach, Canvas looked back at him lustfully while keeping his hind-legs spread apart, making sure to show off his aqua rump while his tail flicked around anxiously. "Are you gonna eat me, Mister Gryphon?"

This time, it was Troy's turn to chuckle in anticipation. After placing the box on the foot of the bed, Troy began to crawl in as well. The Gryphon used one of his talons to quickly tear the bow off of the box, and looked up at Canvas eagerly while opening the present. "Actually… I think I might get myself a taste…"

One of Canvas's brows rose in curiosity, his eyes darting between Troy and the box. But as soon as he saw the Gryphon pull out a small item inside, which seemed to be wrapped in a sealed green package, his other brow rose before asking, "So… what is that?"

"You'll see…" Troy managed to get the package open, although the wrapping was a bit thicker than he expected. Still, the Gryphon had a keen grin on his beak when he got the item held in his claw: a long, thin piece of what looked to be rubber in a hot pink color.

Canvas's head tilted to the side in confusion, not sure of what that could actually be. It almost looked like a mouthpiece of some kind. The stallion tried to speak up, "So… is tha--"

Troy quickly pulled Canvas onto his back, eliciting a surprised "Eep!" from the pony while he looked up at him wide-eyed. Remembering what happened the last time he was put on his back, Canvas grinned wide while lying in such an exposed state. Between his spread-open legs, the stallion's cock was already near full-mast, sticking out proudly for the Gryphon to see.

"Mmmm…" Smirking at the sight of his coltfriend's member, Troy breathed out heavily, claws shaking, knowing exactly what he was going to do. With his heart racing faster in eagerness, the Gryphon licked his beak before leaning down towards it.

"T… Troy? What ar--AAAaaaahhhh!!!" Canvas gasped loudly while leaning his head back, his eyes clenched shut. As soon as Troy ran his thin tongue up the underside of the stallion's shaft, groaning in pleasure at tasting his coltfriend like this for the first time, Canvas nearly thrust his hips up into the Gryphon's face. Of course, that first jolt was quickly replaced by a strong, lingering moan from the pony, which only grew when Troy made a second lick up to the crown of the head.

Troy had his eyes closed as he ran his tongue up the length of Canvas's cock, taking in the utter intensity of his lover's strong musk collecting inside of his beak. Since the stallion's member was in his sheath for the majority of the day, the overwhelmingly strong scent and taste of his essence was especially evident when Troy savored it for the first time. Giving off such a masculine and familiar taste, the Gryphon let off a moan of his own when he let his tongue reach the tip of Canvas's now throbbing cock.

Troy's free claw came up to gently wrap around the base of the stallion's shaft, keeping it steady while the Gryphon lapped around the head slowly. Letting his Avian tongue swirl around the round, smooth head, making the stallion above him moan out in pure unbridled lust, it was difficult for Troy to not try sinking his tongue into the tip, just to get a taste of any pre that might be anxious to come out.

Of course, he knew that was to come in due time. So instead, after making sure that every inch of the head and crown of Canvas's cock was properly wet by his saliva, Troy finally pulled back with a grin on his beak.

Canvas panted heavily when he finally reopened his eyes, realizing that Troy pulled his head away when he was already getting close. "Troy, wha… what are you…"

Canvas's eyes widened in an instant when he saw what Troy was doing above him. Slowly, the Gryphon was carefully applying the pink rubber to the edges of his beak, pushing them into place like a strange mouth guard. By the time he got the ridges of both halves of his beak covered, it almost looked like Troy was wearing a hot pink shade of lipstick.

Troy, happy that the beak sheath was fitting well on him, grew an anxious grin when he looked down at the stallion. Wanting to show the purpose of this to his coltfriend, the Gryphon opened his beak wide for a second, exposing how all the edges were properly padded before quickly closing his beak shut.

Canvas flinched for a second, expecting to hear a loud "Snap!" from Troy closing his beak like that; however, the stallion was surprised to not hear anything even close to that. Instead, the only thing that was heard from Troy's beak was like a muffled pat, emphasizing how soft any impact would be.

Canvas breathed out a little faster, quickly realizing what it was Troy was planning to do. "Wait, you… Are you… Are you going to…"

Troy made a strong nod with a smile on his beak, looking like he was actually looking forward to trying this for his stallion. Positioning himself in front of the pony, Troy slowly leaned in once more between Canvas's legs. And when his head was just inches from Canvas's cock, standing proudly and just begging for attention, the Gryphon's golden eyes looked up at his lover before asking, "You ready, baby?"

Canvas nodded feverishly before Troy could even finish his question, the blush on his face heavy enough to make his whole face red. Happy for that kind of reaction, Troy gave a smile before closing his eyes.

Practically feeling the heat from Canvas's cock before he could even touch it, the Gryphon felt no hesitation when he opened his beak wide. Looking down at him while breathing heavily, the stallion could only watch before seeing his lover's open beak move downward, letting the head of his cock sink in flawlessly between the two parts. Troy, letting his taste dominate his other senses, overheard his stallion's nervous moans as soon as he felt the hot flesh move inside of his beak, but it was quickly underwhelmed when the strong taste of Canvas's cock flooded every other sense he had. The Gryphon's tongue slowly lapped around the crown as soon as it went inside, feeling big enough to almost not fit inside of his open beak.

"Nnnnnn…" Getting the first proper taste of his coltfriend in this sort of way, Troy let off a muffled moan while his tongue ran up and down the head inside of his beak. Of course, when he felt the full width of Canvas's member fit inside of his beak, Troy decided to test the beak sheath for real. Clenching his eyes shut, the Gryphon's beak began to close carefully, letting the smooth, wettened rubber around the edges of it wrap around the stallion's cock.

"Ah! Ah… aaaahhhhh…" Even though Canvas's heart was racing in nervousness, unsure how a beak would feel like this even with a beak sheath, his worries were immediately vanquished as soon as he felt the Gryphon's firm, but pleasing pressure wrap around the top of his shaft. Realizing that Troy's beak now felt like something closer to a pair of lips, Canvas threw his head back and groaned happily, letting the padding of the beak sheath work its magic. "Oh… oh wow…"

Hearing Canvas's pleased moans from above, Troy smiled to himself while keeping a careful grip with his beak. Since the Gryphon was happy with how his coltfriend was liking this so far, Troy wanted to continue and see how far he could go. So, after taking a deep breath, the Gryphon tightened his grip so the sheath had a good seal, letting him make his first actual sucking motion before sinking his beak in deeper.

The sheath helped to let Troy's beak slowly slide down the shaft of Canvas's cock, making the stallion groan out louder in pleasure. With his hooves clenching the bedding involuntarily, the pony could barely hold himself still when he felt the wet warmth of Troy's beak actually sucking him like this. Even though he never thought that his partner could ever give him a blowjob this well (let alone one at all), Canvas gave no complaints or hesitation at how Troy was taking in more of his shaft.

Instead, the stallion replied with only a shuddered cry before gripping Troy's head in his hooves.

Troy's eyes reopened when he felt Canvas grip his head, worried since he already had nearly half his length inside of his beak. However, despite his tight grip, Canvas didn't try to push his lover down deeper, or involuntarily thrust into him; in fact, all that the stallion did was keep his hooves on the sides of his head, petting the Gryphon's feathers softly while he savored the feeling his love was giving him. Even though he was glad that Canvas wasn't trying anything with it, the very fact that the pony was holding him like this felt so… hot.

Troy couldn't hold back his excitement as he let this sink in: right now, a stallion who was significantly smaller than him (at least in most parts) had the Gryphon held in towards his crotch, all while his massive length was inside his open, drooling beak. Just the thought of that happening was making Troy's heart race faster than before, which prompted him to keep going more enthusiastically. Closing his eyes, the Gryphon pushed himself in further down the stallion's shaft, sucking him eagerly while letting the pony guide his head.

Eventually, the Gryphon made smaller, harder motions up and down the pony's length, blowing Canvas at a faster rate while feeling himself grow harder in response. Loving how he was in a role so different than would be expected, Troy almost wanted Canvas to push him in harder, just to learn if he could really take it. Just the idea of this pony gripping him tight, thrusting in and out of his beak and shoving that musky head into his throat…

Before Troy could let his thoughts take over, which were making him grind his own cock against the bedding while pleasuring his stallion, he realized that Canvas's hooves were holding him tighter than before. When he opened his eyes again, Troy wondered what would happen if he didn’t bob his head; but as soon as he tried to pause his movements, the stallion's hooves moved him without even thinking, like they were moving at the pace he had planned before. Realizing it was really happening, Troy's eyes rolled back in pleasure before letting the pony take over, all while his beak wrapped around the stallion’s cock firmly.

Canvas, who was barely able to think in his lust-fuelled state, was moaning loudly while gripping the Gryphon's head, not even realizing that he was solely moving Troy's head in and out in an increasingly faster rate. With the way the beak sheath was wrapped around his cock, with the added pleasure of the inside of Troy's beak adding that extra warmth and wetness, the pony almost wanted to rut his lover's face and thrust in even harder.

Meanwhile, the inside of Troy's beak was overwhelmed with the strong, musky taste of the stallion as it was being increasingly rammed in and out of his beak. But for Troy, just lying in place and letting that happen was becoming a greater feeling with each passing second; just taking in this stallion's rigid, throbbing cock in such a submissive way was making himself get harder than he ever thought imaginable. More of Canvas's cock could be felt pushing into his beak, nearly hitting the back of his throat with each hard push of his aqua hooves; and with the way the Gryphon was dry-humping the bed while this was occurring, it was clear that he was hoping to feel that stallion's head start throbbing soo--

Rip

Shit… Oh SHIT!

Troy's eyes shot wide open as soon as he felt that first rip start to appear on the top part of his beak sheath. Knowing that if the stallion continued like this soon, something might occur that he really, REALLY didn’t want to happen. Before Canvas could thrust even harder, Troy pulled his beak back open and quickly pulled himself back. Despite Canvas's grip, it wasn't nearly strong enough to keep the massive Gryphon in place for real.

"AH! Wha… wha…"

Canvas gasped in surprise when he felt Troy pull his beak free, but he was panting too loudly in his reared-up state to make any real response. Troy quickly pulled the sheath off of his beak, groaning when he saw that the sheath made a small rip near where the tip of his beak was. Even though he was pissed, he didn’t want to think too much about it while his coltfriend was so close. Instead, Troy took one look back down at Canvas's cock before grinning wide.

If he was going to get a taste of the stallion, there were always other ways to get what he wanted. He tossed the beak sheath aside before bringing his head back down to the pony's crotch

Before he could collect his breath to utter out a single statement, Canvas gasped when he felt a different pressure wrap around his cock. Looking down between his legs, the stallion saw Troy keeping a coy grin while he held his member in his claw. His golden eyes peered up at Canvas as he grew a smirk, making sure to lick his beak while he slowly began to stroke.

"Man, you're thick," began the Gryphon in a surly tone as he slid his talons along Canvas's rigid length, making sure that only the smooth sides were touching the skin to ensure he felt nothing but pleasure. "I bet you're just needing to get off now, aren't 'cha?"

Making his grin grow wider, Troy looked up at the panting stallion as he started to stroke faster, eliciting a strong moan from the pony above. Canvas's head threw back as he clenched his eyes shut, knowing that it wasn't going to take long before he blew his load all over him.

"That feel good, baby?" coaxed Troy in a lustful tone as he kept up the pace with his strokes. "Oh, I bet it does… You're leaking a little already…"

Even though his breathing was coming out heavier than before, Canvas still peered down to see that Troy was right. While the crown of his head throbbed hard, pulsing with each thump of his thundering heartbeat, the stallion could see a shimmering glob of pre coming out from the tip. Just before it could pour down along the length, undoubtedly hitting Troy's talons while he continued to tug, Canvas's eyes widened when he saw the Gryphon move his head in.

Even though his beak sheath was no longer on, Troy didn't need it for what he did next. Before the pre could drip down and go to waste, the Gryphon's thin tongue was quick to lick along the throbbing head, making the stallion groan as he saw his boyfriend make a slow lap to collect what was coming out.

"Nnnnn…" Troy's eyes were closed as he took the glob of Canvas's pre with his tongue, letting the uniquely new taste splash against his taste buds. After letting the smooth texture run down his throat, the Gryphon reopened his eyes to give a sultry smile to Canvas. Even though his claw never stopped stroking his coltfriend's member, Troy moved his head to a different position while he stared up to the stallion's half-lidded eyes. Of course, Canvas's eyes quickly widened when he saw Troy open his beak, keeping his smile while holding the head of the pony's cock pointed straight at it.

Canvas's breathing started to become more rapid, feeling his cock throb even harder at the sight of Troy keeping it pointed straight into his open maw. "Come on, big boy," teased the Gryphon as he stroked even faster, keeping an anxious smile while his eyes looked up at him. "You know you want to, so just do it…"

Troy repositioned himself so he was on his knees, leaving his groin off of the bed so his cock would be standing freely between his legs. Using his free claw, Troy quickly began to stroke himself while tending to his coltfriend as well. Knowing what he was planning to do, the Gryphon's heart was racing excitedly as he stroked both of them even faster.

Troy leaned his open beak even closer to the head of Canvas's cock, ensuring that every drop would go straight in while he rubbed tentatively. Canvas groaned and grit his teeth, feeling himself about to release from that sight alone. Of course, the final thing that set him off was what Troy did next; not even saying a word (of course, it would've been hard to do so without pulling back out), the Gryphon's eyes peered up at Canvas with glowing intensity, showing nothing but unbridled pleasure before making a single wink.

Knowing that was more than enough, Canvas could barely keep his eyes open as he moaned loudly, feeling his entire body shake in passion as he came. Before Troy could react to his coltfriend's cries, he felt the entirety of Canvas's cock throb hard in his talons, followed by a strong blast of wet warmth hitting the back of his throat. The Gryphon closed his eyes as he continued to stroke, letting each volley of thick, overwhelmingly strong-tasting cum flood the inside of his eager beak. Even as he began to struggle, feeling himself start to choke a little from the sheer volume of Canvas's seed being shot into his mouth, Troy refused to falter. Instead, he just let his mate ride through his orgasm, not realizing that some of the stallion's cum was starting to slowly pour out from the sides of his beak.

Canvas made one last, especially loud moan as his cock gave it's final throbs, letting one more glob of his essence weakly dribble out from the head. Keeping his head in place, Troy let that final strand collect with the rest, making a pool of milky-white fluid along the bottom half of his beak before closing slowly. When he finally pulled his head back and lifted himself back up, closing his beak so the two strands of cum going down the sides of his chin stopped momentarily, the Gryphon clenched his eyes shut while slowly stroking himself, just as Canvas began to reopen his eyes.

"Ahhhh… Troy… tha--"

Before Canvas could finish his pleased statement through exhausted pants, his words froze when he noticed how Troy was looking. With his beak still considerably full of the stallion's fluids, the Gryphon's face looked slightly scrunched-in as he tried to process the taste. Even though he wasn't spitting it out, it was clear to Canvas that his boyfriend wasn't exactly used to the strong, musky flavor.

“Uh… Troy?" asked Canvas worriedly. "You know, you don’t have to--"

Troy raised his free talon to silence the stallion, keeping his eyes closed before taking a small breath. Despite his face looking uncomfortable, Troy didn’t take a second thought before pulling his head back. The Gryphon leaned back while he kept stroking himself, letting the taste of the stallion's cum fuel him to his own orgasm. With his beak pointed to the ceiling, only Troy's throat could be seen to the stallion; and after making one large, audible gulp, a very noticeable lump slowly traveled down the Gryphon's gullet. Before it was halfway down, a strong groan could be heard from Troy as he came, his cock twitching while spurt after spurt shot out onto the bed.

Canvas's eyes widened in surprise, his heart racing as he stared at the Gryphon's swallowing with an eerie fascination. A small shudder traveled through the pony before an involuntary grin crept across his muzzle. Remembering how Troy reacted when he did it, Canvas could totally see why his boyfriend was such a big fan of him swallowing; just knowing that his seed was taken in by his mate so easily, it was hard not to start growing hard again.

Of course, that feeling quickly subsided as soon as Troy's head bent back down, his face fully blushed while panting heavily. From the expression he was giving off, it was obvious that the Gryphon seemed less than enthusiastic with the way his eyes struggled to stay open. A couple hiccupped gasps came out of Troy's beak, almost sounding like a weak cough before speaking in almost a wheeze. "That… that tasted different than I thought it would…"

Canvas's face grew guilty after hearing that, mostly since he was fairly turned on up until that point. "Oh, Troy…" Canvas put a hoof on the Gryphon's shoulder, patting him lovingly as he spoke in a gentle tone. "You know you didn’t have to do it, right?"

"I do, I do… I just…" After pausing for a moment, Troy closed his eyes again before making another small gulp. When he reopened his eyes afterward, Troy's body made a small shudder, though Canvas wasn't sure if it was from distaste or from pleasure. Still, the Gryphon's breathing started to come out a little easier after settling from that. "Man… I don’t know what's weirder… the taste, or the texture."

Canvas blinked a couple times in bewilderment, staying silent for a few seconds before giggling. Even though he didn’t want to make Troy feel bad, the stallion knew exactly what he was talking about. "Yeah, I know. I kinda felt that same way when I first did that, too."

Troy chuckled lightly from hearing that as well, feeling a little better that his stallion didn’t see him as being weak for handling it the way he did. Of course, with once glance back down at the Gryphon's crotch, Canvas grew a more coy smirk before poking his quickly softening cock with a hoof. "But considering how you reacted, I think it's safe to say that you may have enjoyed swallowing like that…"

A strong exhale escaped the Gryphon's beak, but he couldn't help smiling with a reluctant nod. "Well, maybe…" Troy looked away bashfully, not seeming to realize that he still had some of his lover's cum dribbling down his blushing cheeks. "Just… just knowing that you… liked it…"

Canvas made a wide grin before bending in, pulling Troy's head back towards his before giving him a soft kiss on the beak. "Oh, believe me," began the stallion as soon as he pulled his lips back. "I really liked seeing that from you…"

Troy's embarrassed smile grew more noticeably, which just made the stallion giggle before moving a hoof up to the sides of the Gryphon's beak. "Here, let me help you."

"Hm?" Troy grew a confused look, but it quickly changed as soon as he felt Canvas's hoof collect the two lines of cum hanging at the sides of his beak. "Oh… Oh…"

"He he he…" Canvas chuckled a little when he got Troy's cheeks and chin wiped clean. "Honestly, I'm surprised you got so much down…"

Troy's eyes went down to Canvas's hoof, and widened at the sight of the stallion's cum lingering on it. With his heart racing a little faster again, the Gryphon brought up a claw to hold it before Canvas could move. When the stallion looked up at him in slight surprise, he saw that Troy had a more surly smile on his beak.

"You know," said the Gryphon lustfully as he brought the hoof up closer to his face. "I never said that I hated it…"

Troy didn't give himself any time to think it over, and quickly ran his tongue to collect the rest of the cum from Canvas's hoof. While the stallion looked at him with a surprised expression, not expecting him to do this sort of thing so soon, his heart raced faster as he saw the Gryphon lap up the rest of his seed.

"Mmmmm…" Keeping his eyes closed, Troy pulled back for a moment after finishing, keeping the remainder of the stallion’s cum inside his beak. And with a more content smile creeping on the corners of his beak, Troy opened his eyes so he could do exactly what Canvas has done for him before; he took another breath before letting himself swallow the last of Canvas's seed, all while keeping his eyes on the stallion during an audible gulp.

Feeling just as Troy has felt before, Canvas shuddered strongly before lunging in. He grabbed the Gryphon tightly, practically mashing his muzzle against Troy's beak. Of course, Troy was quick to return the hungry kiss, gripping him tightly as well.

After nearly a minute of intense kissing, Canvas pulled his head back quickly. "Oh, man," growled the pony eagerly, "We are SO using those beak things again!"

"U-um, acutally…" Troy paused while a more worried look crept on his face. He looked over to the side of the bed before adding. "The sheath kinda… ripped halfway through… It might not be safe to try those, you know?"

"Oh…" Canvas's ears drooped slightly, looking disappointed at what Troy said. However, after contemplating for a moment, Canvas looked over at the box still at the edge of the bed. "So… do you know where Lyra got those?"

"Actually, yeah," answered Troy before grabbing the card on top of the box. "She said she got it from…" The Gryphon took a second to read the card first. "Umber's Exotic Products."

Canvas leaned in to see the card as well, his eyes widening when he recognized the address. "Oh! I think I know where that is!"

"Me too. I usually fly past there during a couple of my shifts."

"Well then…" Growing a more devilish smirk on his muzzle, Canvas looked up at Troy with a sure look on his face. "We're definitely going to need to visit that place sometime soon!"

Troy smiled wide as well, and eagerly nodded at his lover's suggestion. "Buck yeah we are!"

Author's Notes:

I want to give a big thanks to Zyrian for proofreading, as well as providing that alternate title.

Also, sorry I took so long to update this. I seriously had no idea what I wanted to do for this, and I wanted to write something different before getting the next chapter written out.
