[Writing NSFW] Amai's New Job chapter 2 up [10/06/2025]

[Amai_Crimson]

A loud bang echoed as the door to Amai's apartment swung open and hit the wall, badly startling Larkin and Vince.

In strode Astri who was barefoot, wearing blue jeans hugging his curves and nothing else. "WHAT is going on? I saw so many people coming and going. Daryil being one of them! Just now I saw him being carried by a giant tiger in a suit." He grumbled and walked towards Larkin. "You are gonna explain now."

On the cat's heels was Karou who wore a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers. "Astri, please calm down..." he whispered as he walked up behind him. Seeing a girly red panda staring back in surprise, and a snep out cold on the couch, he just blinked some. "Um... Hi?" he said towards the panda.

Larkin sighed a bit, feeling his headache worsen. "Astri... long story short. Amai and Jason got hurt when out on their date, because of a bounty that was on Amai. Richard and Nadir are in there taking care of them now."

Astri's ears went flat as his eyes widened. "J-Jason got hurt? Amai as well?" He raised his hands to his head. "Why didn't anyone tell me? I had to come find out..." he growled out as he pushed past.
After being shoved aside, Larkin just closed his eyes until Astri was in the bedroom.

Vince finally recovered from the shock, looking at the husky he waved: "Hi."

The cat similarly threw the bedroom door open, making Nadir and Richard both jump. Seeing the two partners passed out on the bed, he moved to look over them, moving a hand gently through Jason's hair. "Poor guy..."

Karou watched Astri rush out, then looking at Larkin lowered his ears. "Larkin... what happened? Will they be okay?"

"These two," Larkin pointed at the panda and leopard; "bounty hunters, attacked Amai for a prize. Jason tried to help and got almost killed. Daryil was here to visit, ended up teleporting to help and find out what happened." He saw Karou narrow his eyes with fur standing, and raised a hand. "No, they aren't a danger now. That tiger stopped the fight, telling them the bounty was cancelled. He carried people here, explained and left with Daryil."

Lowering his tail Karou grumbled some. "So much happened..." He hugged Larkin, sighing some. "I'll fill in Astri..." he started then thought for a second  "...later. He may go insane hearing this right now."
Letting go he walked to the bedroom, worried. "Will keep calm," he said, more to himself than anyone else, as he shut the door behind him.

"Astri." Nadir said looking at the cat; "Jason will be fine. He was healed magically and Daryil helped."
Just then Karou walked in. "Seems Amai got the worst of it, he had holes in his face and probably got some broken bones."

Richard got up off the floor and moved over to the cat. "Hey..." he wrapped his arms around him. "They will be fine. Sorry you found out late... things were hectic when they showed up. Both bleeding and out cold."

Astri leaned into the hug closing his eyes. "Who did this?" Astir said shoving his face into the fox's fur, shivering a little. The normally cocky, angry ball of fluff was melted away into a scared cat.

Karou watched them as he closed the door "Larkin told me a bit. Apparently someone put a bounty on Amai.
Jason got hurt trying to help during the fight. It was quite bad seeing Daryil left from his visit to check. That suited tiger stopped the fight and showed them the bounty got cancelled."
He sighed walking over to the bed sitting on the edge of it to look over the two.

Astri let go of Richard, growling a bit: "If I see who did this..."

Nadir rested his hand on the cat's knee. "We should... just relax for now. You two are welcome to stay. Then you'll know when they wake."

Watching him go grab some extra blankets, Astri took some deep breaths. "Thank you, appreciate that. Karou you don't mind?"

Karou shook his head "Not at all."
