Kitsune Courtship - Commission - WIP - 3/27/22 (Patreon)

It was late at night, Ted was just finishing up his report for work, struggling to stay awake as he did his best to finish up before his deadline at midnight trying to think straight while typing was just as hard as keeping his eyes open but his job depended on him pushing through. And eventually, with only 10 minutes to spare, he had finished the document and uploaded it to his boss. Normally he would throw his arms up in triumph, but with so little energy all he could muster was an exhausted moan. Closing his laptop, he staggers back to his room and sits down on the edge of his bed where he prepares to address into his pajamas. However before he could even reach down to remove his socks, he collapsed onto the soft sheets, looking up at the ceiling with his eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

Too lazy to climb in the bed completely, he simply reached over to his left and through one side of the blanket over his body, rolling over and cocooning himself. Wrapped up in his sheets, Ted drifted off for a moment, letting out an exhausted sigh as he quickly fell asleep. However, after dozing off, he let out a soft moan, feeling a pleasant amount of pressure building up around his body. The man opened his eyes to see the sheets of his bed puffing up around him, expanding into what looked like large cushions of some kind. The blanket wrapped around it was no exception, puffing up like a sleeping bag and getting softer and cushier with every passing moment. Not only that, but the texture began to change, becoming more ruffled and fluffy, almost like fur.

Soon, it felt more like he was sleeping in a cloud than a sleeping bag, the soft furry blanket pressing against every angle of his body, soothing his heartbeat as the stress melted from the shoulders. By this point, he could recognize that he was finally falling into a really pleasant one at that. Soon, the surrounding sheets lifted up over him, almost like a wave at the beach before wrapping over his body, him cocooning him completely in a soft squishy embrace. The young man shivered with delight, letting out a comforting sigh as he allowed the soft sheets to cradle him. “This is… Nice…” he mumbled to himself in comfort. “Why can’t I have dreams like this more often?”

But then, he felt something squish against his cheeks, as if a pair of hands had cupped his face. “Oh?” a feminine voice cooed to him. With that, he opened up his eyes, and was surprised to see a silhouette of someone’s head only inches above his. “A dream you say?…” then, he suddenly was blinded by a beam of light from above him, only able to squint as the fluffy sheets began to unravel from his body. Fortunately, it didn’t take him long to get used to the light, but when he opened his eyes, he was baffled to see a woman with a fox-like appearance leaning above him. Her fur was turquoise in color, with a hint of white underneath her chin, and long pointy ears that were just as fluffy as her coat.

The fox women also wore what appeared to be a bright orange kimono with a beautiful flower pattern all over the soft-looking fabric. But then, the fox woman tilted his face up back to hers as she gave him a playful little smile. “If this is a dream, could I do this?” Suddenly she leaned in and gave Ted a passionate smooch. “Mmph?” The young man was startled at first but quickly calmed as she continued to smack her lips against his, fully submitting as he returned her kiss. But then, all too soon she pulled herself away, ending the kiss and leaving the young man wanting more. It was then that he was snapped out of his calming trance as he heard the sound of soft giggling all around him.

With the woman’s hands still cupping his face, he looked around to see at least four other fox women sitting around him, all wearing beautiful kimonos and ogling him with welcoming smiles. One had pastel blue fur with a floral pink kimono, about average in height with nine fluffy tails wagging behind her. Next to her was a slightly shorter fox woman with a similar build, but with bright pink fur and a yellowish gold kimono. On his other side was a Rose red-furred kitsune with a light blue kimono, her smile more laid-back than the others, but staring at him intently with her tails also waggling behind her. The last was much taller kitsune, her fur a dark blue color with small white spots, with a contrasting light blue kimono with stars pattern on the fabric. But what caught his attention the most was her slightly more sizable bust, which she seemed to emphasize by crossing her arms underneath her chest.

Ted's already rosy face quickly blushed bright pink as he tried to sit up, pressing his hands down on top of the soft surface he was laying on. Ted was no longer in his house, but inside of what looked like an old-fashioned Japanese inn, with the floors and ceiling lined with tatami, the room illuminated by a paper lamp. Looking around in confusion, it was then he realized that he wasn’t laying on his bed, but multiple fluffy tails belonging to the Kitsune sitting in front of him. The turquoise fox giggled with a smug grin as she released her hands from his head, unraveling her tails from underneath him and placing him on the floor. She then placed her hands in her lap and bowed to him, along with all the other foxes. “Welcome.” they all politely announced in unison.

Ted just sat there in disbelief not sure how to respond as he took a second look at all of the Fox women surrounding him. It was like he had been transported into some kind of eastern Japanese folk tale, as all of the women had the appearance of Kitsune. “Uhhh…” Ted struggled to respond, not sure what to even say for a few seconds. “Thanks.” he finally says, still looking around trying to make sense of what had just transpired. The last thing he remembered was being in bed, having collapsed from exhaustion before falling into a strange dream, before waking up to a pleasant kiss from the kitsune sitting in front of him. However, it was all so vivid he couldn’t tell where the dream began or even ended.

“Did you sleep well?” the turquoise fox asked, leaning forward curiously. Ted looked down at the ground. “Sleep?” he placed his hand on his head, trying to remember when he had arrived here, feeling as if he had gaps in his memory. “I remember, we…” realizing what he was about to say, he quickly put his hands over his mouth with a tiny blush, unsure if being kissed was even part of the dream. “Oh? Our kiss? Still think that was a dream?” she said in a playful tone, using her tails to scoot closer towards him. “If you’re still unsure, I can give you a second kiss if you’d like…” she said, placing two fingers only her puckered lips.

Ted's cheeks went pink as his chest fluttered like it was full of butterflies, tempted to lean closer to accept her offer.  to delete closer if you another of how to respond. Suddenly, a light blue tail snatched around the turquoise fox’s snout, closing it shut. “Hey!” The light blue fox in the pink kimono interjected. “We agreed to let you wake him up, we never said you could go first!” she said. said puffing out her cheeks with a grumpy look on her face. “Or that you could kiss him! Or twice for that matter!” The fox with the bubblegum fur added. “Go first?” he mumbled under his breath, the Reality setting in the end no idea where he was or how we got here. “Wait a minute, where am I? who are you?” he asked becoming uncomfortable, standing up straight as he backed away from the fox in front of him.

Suddenly, something snatched around his midsection, stopping his retreat as he looked down to see a bright pink ribbon wrapped around his waist, tugging him back towards the turquoise fox from the sash of her orange kimono. “W-wait!” she leaned forward, holding her arms out with a flustered face, holding his hands in her paws as he watched speechless as the ribbons retracted back into her kimono. “Don’t be alarmed. We… brought you here…” The fox looked down at the floor for a brief moment before regaining eye contact with the young man. “Well, to be blunt. We brought you here because we were curious if you wanted to be our… um…”

“Our pet!” the fox with the bubblegum fur blurted. “Our partner.” the light blue fox giggled with a playful smile. “A boy toy.” the rose red-furred fox stated calmly, her tails eagerly wagging behind her. “Our companion.❤️” the starry furred fox teased with a flirty tone, her eyes half-closed while looking directly into the eyes of the young man. Ted was lost for words, looking back and forth at all of the beautiful women sitting before him, processing each and every one of their bizarre statements. “Yeah… basically what they said.” she added, gently taking his hands back into her paws. “More accurately, we want a cute boy to live with us, and we’ve had our eye on you for some time.” she looked into his eyes with a cute but shy smile.

“Wait, so you kidnapped me?” he asked. Hearing the conflicted tone in his voice the kitsune gently let go of his hands, leaning forward as she crossed her arms behind her back in a flirty pose. “Well, yes. I wrapped you up in my tails and whisked you away while you slept like a baby. You looked so cute, and I didn’t wanna wake you, so I let you sleep.” she said with a wink. Thinking back to how he woke up in her multiple tails, Ted felt his heart skip a beat, as he couldn’t help but find the fox woman genuinely charming. “Point being…” The blue-furred Kitsune added, sitting up on her knees as she got the human’s undivided attention. “We would like you to spend… some time with us. We would very much like to get to know you.”

Ted looked away and just stared at the surrounding walls, not sure if he should be concerned or just how genuine the kitsunes were being with him. “D-don’t worry, we won’t keep you here against your will, we can send you back if you’re uncomfortable.” she said, trying to reassure him. “But…” the red-furred fox interjected, sitting up as she walked up next to the boy. “Do you mind if we introduce ourselves?” she asked, tilting her head with a flirty look in her eyes. Ted just stared at her for a few moments, lost in her gaze before he answered with a simple but conflicted nod. “Well then.” the fox said with a tiny smile. “I’ll go first.” she said lifting her palm, holding what appears to be a strange pink powder. The young man curiously looked down at the substance in her hand, only for the fox to blow it into his face as a floral mist enveloped his head.

It didn’t take more than one breath for him to feel dizzy, collapsing as the red-furred kitsune caught him in her arms. With the smell of roses filling his nose, he quickly drifted off into a sleep so deep, the passage of time became lost to him. The familiar fragrance of fresh roses would soon enter his nostrils once more, feeling extremely comfortable as he felt something rocking his body back-and-forth. “Mmmmgh…” with a small moan, he slowly opened his eyes to see beams of light pouring down from all around him through dozens of massive leaves and branches surrounding him. That’s when he could hear the sounds of chirping birds echoing around him, along with a soft breeze flowing through trees and foliage.

With a surprised gasp, he opened his eyes completely as he realized that he was in some kind of sunny forest, laying down on a giant leaf tied between two nearby trees like some kind of makeshift hammock. The leaf itself felt very strange, as it was soft and flexible to the touch, almost like a giant bed sheet. With how comfy his hammock was, he wasn’t so inclined to climb off, instead just scanning his surroundings as he remembered being knocked out after inhaling the strange powder by the red-furred Kitsune. “Looks like you slept well.” a soft familiar voice said from nearby.

Surprised, the young man quickly sat up from his hammock and looked around to see where the voice had come from, only for a soft paw to gently tap on his right shoulder. Almost as if she had come out of nowhere, the red-furred fox was standing right next to him, cupping her hands underneath his armpits as she slowly lifted him off of a hammock, setting him down onto the ground with ease.  Taking a couple of steps back, she stretched her arms out beside her.  “Welcome to my garden.” she announced with a proud but subtle smile on her face.

“Garden?” he asked in disbelief, taking another look at the vast surroundings. “Do you like it?” she asked, slowly turning around as she placed her hand on a nearby tree. “Every bush, every tree, every blade of grass and flower, I grew them all myself. With my own little touch of course.” she explained, turning around with another with a rosy little smile, her cheeks a soft shade of pink amidst her red fur. “My name is Sakura, and as you can see… I love gardening.” his heart skipped a beat at her adorable expression, seeing a little hint of bashfulness behind her reserved smile. Then, he suddenly heard something rustling behind her, making him flinch as the hairs on his head nearly stood on end.

The fox was unconcerned, her expression remaining composed as something large began emerging from the bushes behind her, pushing out of the thick shrubbery with a deep crimson shine. Much to his surprise, a giant rose grew out from the bush, spreading its petals out as it basked in the warm sunlight. Ted's mouth dropped in awe as the flower glistened in the sun's radiance, but turned his head away once he heard more rustling surrounding him. More large plants began to emerge from around them, many just as big as the rose that had just bloomed in the bushes behind the red fox. There were a few tulips that popped out from the surrounding grass, waving their petals back-and-forth, many massive leaves extending out from the bushes much like the one he had woken up on earlier, and along with many many other flowers that he couldn’t name off the top of his head.

It was like nothing had ever seen before, twisting his head left and right as the plants begin slowly approaching him. It was in that he realize it their vines were extending towards him, slithering in his direction like snakes, making him uneasy as he slowly backed away. But then, one of the massive leaves brushed up against his back, stopping his retreat as the dozens of massive flowers and leaves slithered up to him like snakes. Sakura just giggled as the rose from earlier slithered up next to her, leaning against it as she snapped her fingers. Suddenly, all the flowers ceased slithering up to him, the young man found find himself frozen in both shock and awe at the oversized plants. While he was processing it all, the leaf from behind him scooped him up from underneath, pushing his legs out from under him until he was sitting on it.

“Only plants that are given lots of love can grow like mine.” she chuckled, the leaf underneath Ted slowly rotating him so he could get a good look at all of the different plants and flowers around him. The young man however was unable to quell his nervousness, the oversized flowers reminding him of some horror movies he had watched involving carnivorous plants, thinking that they might slurp him up like a noodle if he got too close. While some of the flowers were very pretty and had large leaves with beautifully rounded bulbs in the center, some flowers looked like they had large mouths, making him more terrified than awed. “Speaking of love…” she said snapping her fingers. Then from one of the nearby trees sprouted what appeared to be a large oval-shaped bulb descending down next to Sakura from a thick shiny vine.

It wasn’t until the other flowers slowly moved away, giving the young man some space that he was able to take notice of the strange new plant. Once the leaves settled next to her, Sakura placed her hand atop the bulb, briefly looking away as she placed her other hand over her mouth to hide her nervous smile. “When we decided to bring you over, I started growing this plant just for you.” she said in a reserved soft-spoken voice. Unsure of what he was looking at, the young man curiously leaned forward on top of the leaf carrying him, trying to make out what kind of plant it was. The bulb was oddly alluring to his eyes, its slick shiny exterior looking like some kind of fine sateen or even polished rubber, it almost didn’t look like a plant at all.

Then, the red-furred kitsune tapped the top of the strange bulb a couple of times, as a large slimy horizontal slit suddenly opened up from the center. Ted's face lost all expression as his body immediately froze, watching as the plant opened up like a venus flytrap, viscous sap dripping from its massive lips like saliva. Within the plant were two large squishy pink buds of some kind, lining both the bottom and roof of its interior, secreting the slimy sap that dripped from its mouth. While it didn’t have any teeth or throat that he could see, the sight of it made his head shrug between the shoulders as he tried to back away only for the leaf to move forward towards the strange-looking plant.

Once he realized that he was delivered what he assumed was a giant carnivores plant, Ted quickly scramble off of the leaf and plopped onto the ground before making a break for it in the opposite direction. Sakura gasped, looking surprised as her guest pushed through the bushes and ran deeper into the forest. “Uh… w.. wait!” she cried out, turning her head side to side as she became flustered and confused, unsure of what had exactly frightened him off. As Ted ran further and further from her sight, she tapped on one of the nearby trees with a desperate look on her face. “Bring him back to me please.” she pleaded, her request soon followed up by the sound of rustling leaves as the roots of the tree shifted underneath her feet.

Meanwhile, Ted was running full sprint through the large forest-like garden, not even daring to look back as the image of the large slimy plant mouth motivated him to keep going. He hoped to find the clearing to escape the forest, but all he was met with was more and more trees, as if he was running through a jungle or a large nature park. What’s more, the forest seemed to get denser and darker the farther he ran, making him feel claustrophobic and more afraid of what may be lurking behind the trees. Eventually, he soon saw a bright light a few yards ahead, perhaps the very clearing he was hoping for. But then, his foot caught on what felt like a thick root, losing his footing as he stumbled forward a few feet on the soft grass.

Fortunately, he was unharmed, but it took him a few seconds to get his head back on straight as he got up on his knees, as his eyes slowly adjusted to the light. Ted's expression went blank, slowly walking ahead into the light ahead unaware of the many figures slithering towards him from the darkness. Exiting the dense trees, he indeed found himself in what seemed like a clearing of sorts, one that stretched further down a low rolling hill, with trees much less densely packed together. But beyond that, was a vast forest that stretched for miles, with trees of all different colors stretched upon the horizon like an endless flower bed.

There were several large hills to his left and right also covered by the colorful forest, as if the entire landscape was blanketed in a fantastical floral beauty. Ted didn’t believe what he was looking at, rubbing his eyes before taking a second look, but he couldn’t deny what lay before him was clear his day. “This can’t be the whole garden… Where am I?” he asked. It was then that he heard several rustling sounds from behind him, more turning around as several plants emerged from the dark forest. The young man flinched with a trembling shiver as he laid his eyes upon multiple large looming venus flytraps, stretching out from long vines deep into the forest, with large drooling mouths that were nearly twice his size.

Suddenly, one of the fly traps lunged towards him, opening its mouth wide open as he stumbled back in fear. Thanks to his tumble, the trap missed him, snapping its large sappy jaws only inches from him as he scrambled back to his feet down the hill. The fly traps pursued, though their speed limited while having to extend their slithering vines. With the trees spread out much further apart as he ran downhill o, he was able to quickly put distance between himself and the pursuing plants. But then, from one of the trees ahead, he saw a large green vine stretching out to block his path. Nearly caught off guard, he prepared to slide underneath it, right before a large green bulb began sprouting from the vines' tip.

Suddenly the bulb split open, sprouting into another Venus flytrap as it spread its jaws wide open for him. Stumbling, he stopped just a foot short of the plant’s mouth, stepping back before he was in its reach. However, this didn’t stop the plant from extending itself as far as possible, eagerly trying to gobble him up. Ted immediately turned around to walk around it, turning to his right only to see another Venus flytrap growing from another nearby tree. Ted tried turning the other way, but it was then when he realized more and more Venus flytraps were sprouting around him, some already fully grown as they extended towards him.

With few options, he tried running to his left, side-stepping the plant in front of him as he tried to put some distance between himself and the other plants before they could fully sprout. Alas, one of the other nearby plants lunged for him, snatching onto his sleeve and ripping it off as he quickly pulled away, this followed by having to swerve the other way once more as another fully grown trap nearly grabbed onto his upper half, stumbling back towards a bush as he regained his footing. But as he was about to run away he was soon cornered in by more of the Venus flytraps, opening their mouths as he was forced to back up against a nearby bush. But then, something brushed against the top of his head, turning around in a panic as he expected to see another flytrap.

But to his surprise, it was just a simple flower, a rose with big petals by the looks of it, very similar to the large one Sakura had shown him earlier. Ted was relieved, stepping into the bush as he prepared to escape through it. But then, he saw the flower turn towards him, grabbing his attention as it suddenly lunged forward and wrapped its petals around the bottom half of his face, covering both his mouth and nose. “GUHPH? MMMMPH!” With a panicked yelp, he stumbled back away from the bush only for the flower's thick vine to tug him back as it tightened its grip around his face. Grabbing the vine, he attempted to pull the flower off of him, but fortunately found that he could still breathe with his mouth and nose. But upon doing so, Ted was immediately hit with a wave of drowsiness, feeling the adrenaline sucked from his body as he loosened his grip on the vine.

The air in the flower tasted sweet, almost tickling his nostrils like the smell of a delicious surgery pastry. Falling to his knees, Ted quickly lost his train of thought, giggling happily as he was captivated by the flower’s hypnotizing sent. The surrounding Venus fly traps backed off, retracting back to the trees from which they had sprouted, leaving the young man with his clingy rose hugging his face. The sweet aroma soon filled his lungs completely, emptying his mind as he let out a blissful moan. It wasn’t just that he was sleepy, Ted was unable to form any cohesive thoughts,  left in the state of total euphoria as he took in the flowers' lovely smell.

While Non the wiser, he was soon approached by another large flower from behind, a gigantic magenta pedaled Lilly from a long vine that extended all the way from the forest he had escaped from. Pressing up against his back, the pedals slowly wrapped around his arms and legs, binding his limbs and lifting him off the ground spread eagle. Ted was not even aware of what was happening to him, simply letting out a small giggle as the petals tightly wrapped him up, not that he would’ve minded with soft and comfy they felt against his skin. Finally, the rose-petaled flower released its grip on Ted's mouth, but not before blowing him a few more puffs of gas for him to breathe as he was slowly carried back into the forest by the massive lily.

Sakura meanwhile, sat on top of the large bulbous double-lipped plant, staring up at the treetops with a worried sigh as she waited for the human to return to her. As she waited, the fox woman had taken the time to think about why Ted had run off, but still couldn’t completely understand why. After all the time she spent creating the plant for him, he ran off as if he was terrified of it. “It couldn’t have been something I said…” she thought, looking down at her giant plant as she petted it with her left paw. “Maybe, he found it scary?” Then, she heard the rustling coming from the trees, looking up as she saw the young man bound to one of her giant flowers as it brought him before her.

Seeing the blissfully goofy look on his face made her giggle, stepping off of her plant as she walked up to him. “I assume you’ve been sniffing some of my flowers?” she asked. Ted simply giggled, able to understand the question but not completely able to answer. “I make sure all of my flowers smell nice, but they can be a bit strong for anyone who’s not used to them.” she said leaning closer with a playful little smile. “Ah…” Ted responded, slowly nodding as he slowly came back to his senses. Taking a second, Sakura turned away as she tried to think of what to say, before turning back and putting her hands on his cheeks. “I’m sorry if I scared you, sometimes… I’m just not sure how I come off to other people.” she explained.

She then tapped the side of the flower holding him, as it began releasing his limbs from its petals. “And I tend to get, overly excited when I show off my flowers, I understand it must have startled you since I neglected to express my intentions before.” she then placed her hands underneath his arms, easing him down onto the soft grass as the flower fully unraveled from his arms and legs. Still a bit woozy from the flower's powerful aroma, he couldn’t stand back up on his own, lacking the strength in his legs even to support his weight. “Can you not move?” Sakura asked, looking over his limp body, watching a Ted could barely move his feet. “Here, let me…”

She scooped her arms underneath his legs and back, pulling him up in a bridal carry so his head was resting on her shoulder. “There we go. How’s this?” she asked. “Ahhh…” Ted just blushed, happily nuzzling his head against her kimono, feeling the soft fabric press against his rosy face. “Good.” she said softly with a smile. Sakura then carried him over to the large bulbous plant but keeping it at a few steps distance as not to scare him again. “This plant is a double-lipped sleep pod, as I like to call it.” she explained. “I understand it may look a bit intimidating, but I promise, it’s completely harmless.” The fox reassured him, bringing him closer to the large plant. When she was close enough she took her right hand and ran her finger down the bulbs mouth slit, scooping a bit of its sap onto her finger.
