Hey guys sorry it's been so long... Hey at least the chapter is out now
I'm basically done with finals, so I have the better part of half a month to get some more content out... hmm maybe a Christmas special idk lol. anyways here's the chapter.
(Mark POV)
We go down the elevator and make our way down to the lobby and swipe our keycard and open the door to the pool room. After walking in Alex heads into the pool followed by Tony and I jump in after they get in splashing them and Alex glares at me while moving the hair out of his eyes and Tony splashes me and we both laugh.
After swimming around for a bit Alex sneaks over to the hot tub and relaxes and Tony gets up from under the water and looks around the pool. "Where's Alex?" He Asks while crossing his arms. "Go look for him, he's still here" I snicker back at him. As he turns around away from me, I jump on him and cover his eyes. "Guess who!?" He throws his arms back and grabs me and tosses me into the water. I swim back up and splash him while he laughs "you're no fun" he mocks me a little and I roll my eyes and go to the hot tub. Alex looks up and smiles a little at me and scoots away as I sit down. I look over at him and he looks away. "Hey Alex? What was your world like?" He looks at me while yawning a little and starts explaining. "Well pretty much your world but everyone there looks more like me kinda, planet is still the same there are some subtle differences though. Some things here are a little bit bigger and a couple brands/logos are a little different. So, you are like Tony's boss, right? So, what do you do?" I nod my head at him while smiling. "I just manage the company's contracts with other businesses" After some time he gets up again grabbing a towel and starts drying off. I grab 2 and throw one at Tony when climbs out of the pool.
As we walk back to our room Alex yawns and stretches his arms out and after he dries off completely he grabs his clothes and goes into the bathroom to change and Tony and I undress in the main room and finish drying off and I slide up my boxer and peek over at him a little bit and we lock eyes and I smirk while he on the other hand rolls his eyes and smiles when Alex walks out of the bathroom. Alex sits on the bed and pulls out his phone and hits it against his hand and he sighs and sets it on the nightstand and looks over at Tony. "Could I get a phone? This one doesn't really work here" Tony lays on the bed next to him and yawns "Sure thing, that's a good idea in case I need to get ahold of you." I lay in my bed and hear Alex shutting the lights off and I roll over and watch him scoot closer to Tony and he falls asleep with his head resting on Tony's arm. Tony's gaze goes from Alex over to me and narrows his eyes and pulls Alex closer to himself. I roll back over and fall asleep shortly after.
(Tony POV)
I yawn and smile at Alex as he sleeps and I look over to Mark and narrow my eyes after noticing he's looking at Alex and not me, I pull Alex closer and huff and fall asleep after Mark rolls over.

I wake up the next morning to Alex poking my face and feeling my whiskers and I pull his arm away and rub my eyes. "Well good morning to you too Alex." He snickers and gets up and starts to get dressed and Mark walks out of the bathroom behind Alex after he starts putting a shirt on and he finishes pulls Alex's shirt down and smirks. "How'd you sleep last night cutie?" Alex rolls his eyes and puts his shoes on "Great, Hey Mark?" Mark tilts his head and Alex turns back to look at him "How'd it feels to sleep all alone last night?" Alex snickers and Mark's ears go back momentarily, and he crosses his arms. After getting dressed we all leave the room and Alex pulls his hood back up and we go out to the car and Alex stares out the window looking at the city as Mark and I start to talk about the business meeting. I pull an umbrella from my bag as it starts raining and as the car pulls up we get out and I hold the umbrella up for me and Alex and Mark grabs his own and we all walk into the building and we drop off Alex at the "Daycare" for lack of better terms and looking in there I notice a couple of other teenagers and he sits in a corner and Mark and I wave goodbye and head to our long meeting. We get into the conference room and sit there for the next 3 hours drinking our coffee and I sigh quietly, tapping my finger against the desk and look towards Mark who's excited to get out of this place as well.
(Alex POV)
I sit with my hood up in the small corner of the room and I sigh as I pull out my phone seeing its low power and try to find an offline game to play to pass the time. After a while I see a canine staring at me, and he looks away when I notice him, and he goes back to sitting on his phone doing whatever. After about an hour I get up leaving my phone plugged in and I go over to the table to get a drink and a sandwich to snack on, as I pass by the canine on my way back I see him look up from his phone again and I glance over at him and roll my eyes and I sit back down in my corner to eat my food and watch videos I have downloaded on my phone.
After about another hour or so I see Tony and Mark by the door waiting for me and I grab my stuff and as I leave the canine waves and hands me a piece of paper and I wave back and leave. I rub my eyes and yawn as we walk to the elevator and Tony picks me up. "Hey, put me down Tony!" He snickers a little and keeps carrying me. "Hmmmm, no you look kinda tired" He smiles at me and keeps walking holding me with one arm and a coffee in the other. We make it back down to the car and I get in my seat next to the right door and stare outside at the city as we leave the office building. I hear Mark sigh with relief, and he takes his tie off "Finally glad that's over and now we can relax." Tony agrees and I roll my eyes and go back to looking out the window. We turn into a parking lot and stop at a Best Buy and Tony gets out and I do the same while Mark waits in the car. We both walk inside and head to the back of the store to look at the cell phones after some looking, I stare at the iPhone 11 "Can I get this one? I know it's an older model, but I don't want you to spend all of your money on me." He looks down at me and smiles and as we look up from the display and employee comes to help us and I pick out the black one and grab a black and red case.
After we check out, we get back in the car and Mark stares over my shoulder watching me take the phone out of the bag. "Which one did you grab?" "The 11" He makes a face at me, and I look back to him. "What's the face for?" "Thats ol-" I close his muzzle and Tony snickers and he lets out a huff.
After getting back to the Hotel Mark orders Something called Panzelliz, I sit on the bed and after getting my new phone up and running I grab my old one to see if I can do a data transfer. After a couple of attempts of it not working, I let out a sigh of frustration and I set the old one down and start looking for the apps I had on the other one and start downloading them or a close enough version on this one. Tony and Mark start changing into shorts and lighter tee-shirts and looking at Tony I felt something different. I started to notice him closer, he was kinda tall, well-toned and kinda buff, his fur looked so soft and rough at the same time. Mark on the other hand was okay built similarly to Tony but just a little taller. They both grab some earbuds and explain they are going to the fitness room, and I just sit back and relax in the hotel.
While they are gone there is a knock on the door and looking through the peephole and see a delivery driver. Shit I look around and see Mark's wallet on the table and put my hoodie over my head and try to look mostly down while I hand him the money and grab the pizza boxes. "Keep the change" I go to shut the door and he stops it and feels my arm a little and tries to grab at my side. I kick him in the leg and shut the door on him "cunt". I turn back at the closed door looking dumbfounded, ain't no way he called me a cunt over that. I set the pizzas down and lay on the bed and relax for a bit and eventually fall asleep and wake up to a fuzzy hand on my back and I yawn "Yea?" "You hungry Alex?" I nod my head and Tony hands me a couple of slices of pizza and I smile back at him and lean on him while I eat. "So, is there anything else we have to do here or are we leaving tomorrow?" I look at Tony and Mark and Mark swallows and turns to face me. "We are leaving tomorrow morning and we'll be back home tomorrow in the evening." I thank him and after eating I yawn again and unintentionally snuggle into Tony while I fall asleep while my head rests somewhere between his shoulder and his chest.

I rub my eyes and look around and immediately look around. This isn't the hotel room... This is my room. I rush out of bed and run downstairs and see Victor sitting on the couch watching TV. "Hey man, your cabin is pretty cool, so I called your parents about your car last night. They know you accidently hit a deer. Thankfully you're okay though you just seemed out of it." I just stare at him and look around. I go to step down the last couple of stairs I slip and fall. As I hit the floor it goes black for a second and I wake back up in the hotel room breathing heavily and feel sweaty and I look around the room and see Tony sleeping and I look at the clock and see it's only 5:30. I try to get up and try to carefully move Tony's arms away from around me and I slip a pillow in my spot when he whines and wraps his arms around it and he starts purring. I go to the bathroom and look in the mirror and stare at myself... "What was that?"
