The door prize

The music blared a steady beat as Octavian walked slowly inside the club, his eyes adjusting to the lower light and bright flashes of light. It was very crowded and extremely noisy, he could hardly hear himself think over the music and loud voices.

This was not the place for one as straight laced as him, it was hot, it was dirty, the music was rude and vulgar from what he understood of the lyrics and the dancing on the dance floor was not at all proper. He blushed a deep red when he realized that almost all the couples dancing happened to be the same sex, indeed it seemed almost all of the ponies in attendance were stallions; oh dear he seemed to have found his way into what must be one of those gay clubs.

Yet in the greatest of ironies it was the sheer fact that he is gay was what drove him here. His father had set him up on a date tonight, with a mare naturally, he hadn't come out to them about his sexuality; and as an only foal the news was sure to be not well received. The mare was supposedly the daughter of one of his father's friends but he knew all of them as well as their children, his father claimed the friend was somepony in his college fraternity and hadn't seen him in years.

Octavian seriously doubted that though, the mare was far too crass and didn't know the proper etiquette. She seemed genuinely surprised when they arrived at the restaurant his father had made them reservations for, solidly 4 stars but oddly enough not a regular place the family frequented. First she had to ask what exactly most of the dishes really were and contained, chose the wrong wines to go with the courses, complained about the portions and the conversation she made was completely improper for the setting, getting them offended looks for the other patrons.

It was obvious the mare hadn't come from money, or had even seen very much, given her face when she saw the prices on the menu and the relieved look when he reassured her that he was paying for everything. There laid the problem, his father wouldn't touch a family that poor with a pole, old friends or not, and considering what school his father had attended, and Octavian would be attending in the fall, he doubted the mare's father and his had ever even met.

He was also aware of the mare's shameless flirting and lewd posturing, especially when she realized that he paid for their dinner without making a dent in the amount of bits he carried. It was uncomfortable given his orientation and he tried his best to deflect it and lightly turn the mare down but she was not to be deterred. Finally she grew more direct and offered to take him back to her place for a 'night he'd never forget', lifting her tail and displaying herself to him like an animal.

His father hadn't paid for those private tutors for nothing, he could put two and two together; as much as he hated to admit it, it seemed his father had paid to get him a whore. He had known his father was suspicious and had expressed concern about the fact that Octavian had never had a marefriend or shown interest in the opposite sex but he never thought he would take it this far.

At the time he didn't know what to do or say and thus followed her to a seedier part of town that made his fur stand on edge and check that his moneybag was secure. She paused to go into a local drug store for something, he saw his chance and bolted but unsure of just where to go. Finally he noticed this club about a block away, the line was short and he doubted she'd look for him, or even find him she if she did, in here.

Absentmindedly he looked at the glow in the dark stamp on his front right leg with a number, it had something to do with a door prize, the bouncer had said so when he stamped it but with all these ponies here surely he stood no chance of winning, and as well what could they possibly have that he wanted anyway?

Now that he was well and here, he might as well try to relax a little before he could head back to his own apartment (that he'd only use for the summer before attending college in the fall, but his father demanded that he 'have a place to bring mares to'). He headed to the bar, maybe the bar tender could make a half decent martini...

A few hours and several drinks later he was no longer hiding from his date as she had no doubt given up long ago but actually enjoying himself a little, the music was growing on him slowly and even though he'd come no where near the dance floor he kept an eye toward it and the sexy stallions that occupied it. He'd never been so open at staring at the same sex before but here it made him blend right in.

The DJ came on the microphone to say it was his final set and it caused Octavian to glance his way and get his first real look at him, a cute white unicorn with a blue mane but other details were hidden by the flashing lights and smoke from the machine. Octavian went back to his drink and eye candy.

It seemed no like no time at all before the DJ was signing off, DJ-Pone or something, his signs that Octavian could see had it spelled Pon-3, how odd, it must have been a printing error. He barely noticed when the replacement DJ came on, he didn't catch his name and nor did he really care. The new DJ played maybe one song before what appeared to be the owner took the microphone.

The music dimmed and everyone grew quieter as he spoke, everypony cringing from a bit of feedback. "Tonight's door prize winner is number 258, will the winner please come to the back?" That was all he said before handing the microphone back to the DJ and allowing the music to start playing again.

Out of sheer curiosity like everypony else Octavian looked at his number again, oh this had to be a joke, but right there on his foreleg was a neon yellow 258. He saw everyone else shake their heads in disappointment, maybe it wasn't a joke. He didn't exactly need any sort of prize and maybe if he'd stay quiet they pick somepony else.

They had never said just what the prize was though, and Octavian was nothing if not curious. Standing up, he went to the bar and first paid his tab in case he forgot later. After that he carefully made his way through the mass of sweaty ponies to the back where he could see the owner and two big ponies who he assumed were other bouncers. Gathering his nerves he approached them; the owner was emotionless as he walked up to him.

"You win the door prize?" he asked, Octavian nodded. "let me see your stamp, won't believe how many ponies try and cheat" he said and Octavian nodded and lifted his right leg in an awkward attempt to show the stamp. The owner nodded when he saw it and before Octavian knew it he was being lead through the back by the bouncers, slightly making him nervous, they weren't going to beat him up and take his money bag were they?

Finally they reached a door in the back, one of the bouncers knocked before they turned around. "Have fun kid" one of them said before the door opened and Octavian slowly walked inside.

The room was small, and he was unsure of its purpose, noting the lockers on the wall and few benches he guessed a changing room of some sort. He located the pony who opened the door, the white unicorn DJ from earlier, his face buried in a bag, his rear facing Octavian with his tail high, showing himself off. He just couldn't resist staring and could feel his cock harden, already unsheathed by his earlier stallion viewings.

"What color do you want?" the Unicorn asked from his position.

"Huh?" Octavian responded. What color what?

"Condom, rubber, love glove, you know" the DJ explained as he turned around, holding several small packets with magic in front of him.

"Wait I think you have the wrong idea..." Octavian started, his face a deep red but other pony cut him off.

"No you do buster, if you think that playing stupid is gonna somehow let you go bare with me, you got another thing coming." the Unicorn said forcefully, walking toward Octavian with each word.

"No I think you have the wrong stallion I just came for the door prize." Octavian said in an attempt to defuse the angry pony in front of him.

"Is this your first time here or something?" the unicorn asked suddenly, no less angry to which Octavian nodded. "I'm the door prize" the DJ stated simply, letting it sink into Octavian who was by now imitating a fish. What did he- oh, does he mean what Octavian thought that meant?

"You mean..." Octavian asked

"Yeah the door prize is fucking me. I'll say that judging by your face I take it you really didn't know, so sorry about getting mad." The unicorn finished in a much friendlier tone.

Octavian just stared as the DJ put the condoms down on a bleacher. "Let's start this again, I'm Vinyl Scratch, and you are?" the Unicorn asked

"Ó-Octavian" Octavian managed to stutter out, deciding on if he should bolt like he did from the mare earlier. Surely this had to be a dream of some sort, no way a pony could just offer themselves to a random stranger like this. Then again Octavian was a total virgin and didn't know how ponies hooked up and got together in the real world.

"Nice to meet you Octavian, now what color condom do you want?" He asked again, intent on cutting right to the chase.

"Umm Vinyl wait a moment. Could we talk or something?" Octavian stalled, torn between bolting and satisfying his desires to finally know what being with another pony felt like.

"Listen, if you don't want to fuck for whatever reason just tell me and I'll have them pick another number." the Unicorn's voice raised again.

"No I want to, its just well, oh what the hell, I'm a virgin okay, complete total kissless virgin" Octavian said blushing deep red, expecting laughter but heard none.

"Seriously, a stallion as cute as you?" Vinyl asked as if he didn't believe him. The two looked at each other for moment "You are aren't you? No stallion I know, and I know a lot, would lie about that. I never thought I'd encounter a virgin in a place like this, considering the normal clientele" He mused.

"Normally I wouldn't set hoof in a place like this but I happened to be running from a mare that wanted to rut me." Octavian said, feeling himself start to open up to the other stallion.

"How horrible" Vinyl chuckled then continued "Now if you want to rut me instead and lose that virginity of yours I'm here and willing." he stated. Octavian was conflicted, did he want the other stallion, he most certainly did but also felt bad his first time would be in a dirty locker room.

"I want to but... oh you'll laugh at me if I tell you..." Octavian started

"Try me" Vinyl replied

"I-I don't want my first time to be here, I know I must sound like a mare but..." Octavian began

"I don't blame you, my first time was with my then coltfriend from school on his bed. I'd have never have lost my virginity in a place like this." Vinyl countered then sighed.

"I guess you'll hold onto it for a little while longer then?" Vinyl asked, Octavian sighed then nodded.

"Well don't wait too long for prince charming to come by with candles and roses. Good luck and if you do manage to lose it come back to the club one weekend, maybe you'll win again." Vinyl said and then did something surprising, hugged him. Octavian could do nothing but hug him back, by far the most intimate moment in his entire life.

Then Vinyl moved his mouth up and kissed him, and Octavian could do nothing but kiss him back, completely lost in the white unicorn. All too soon Vinyl broke off, leaving Octavian breathless and confused. "Figured at the very least I could take 'kissless' away from you." Vinyl said softly

Octavian needed to leave, anymore of this unicorn and he wouldn't care anymore. He turned and headed for the door, trying to avoid either crying or running back to Vinyl. He had turned the knob and had the door partway open when he heard Vinyl behind him "Octavian wait" he paused at Vinyl's voice then turned back around "I might regret this, but do you want to come back to my place? It's no 5 star hotel but I think it'll do" Vinyl offered.

In a flash Octavian was back with Vinyl, taking initiative to kiss him first. Breaking off the kiss Vinyl grabbed his condoms from the bench and put them back in his bag, then levitated the bag across his shoulder as the two headed left for the back door, then through a short hallway then out into the alley behind the building.

It was well past midnight now and the moon was high in the sky, though it was dark as little streetlight reached back here. On his own Octavian would be scared to death but felt much safer walking with Vinyl. It didn't take long to reach the street and from there Vinyl's apartment complex.

Octavian bit back his nerves, he wanted this and he was tired of hiding who he really was. Vinyl unlocked and opened the door to his unit and the pair walked inside, one of the rooms of Octavian's apartment was probably bigger than the entire thing but at this point he didn't care. They made a beeline for Vinyl's open bedroom door. The room and place were messy, the product of a single colt with no maid like Octavian had.

Vinyl placed his bag at the foot of the bed while Octavian paced nervously trying to calm himself, this was really happening, he was finally going to lose his virginity. He always pictured doing this with a coltfriend he loved and loved him back but he had the opportunity now and he was going to take it.

Octavian barely noticed Vinyl coming up beside him to kiss him on the cheek. "Relax cutie, I can feel how tense you are from here. Remember you can say stop anytime and we will, okay?" Vinyl reassured him.

Octavian nodded, but nothing would make him tell Vinyl to stop. He tried to relax, he really did but it was just too hard, there were far too many questions running through his head. What happens next? Was there foreplay or does the fucking start immediately? Did he want to bottom or top? Would it hurt if he bottomed? Was he big enough and could he last long enough if he topped? His limited knowledge from porn was at its end and he was sailing in uncharted waters.

"I told you to relax" Vinyl whispered in his ear, biting it a little and making his knees weak.

"Sorry" Octavian replied.

"I know just the thing, sit down the bed" Vinyl coaxed him and he did so without question, sitting awkwardly on another stallion's bed, he started to take in the various band posters on the wall when movement distracted him, namely Vinyl getting on his knees in front of him.

His eyes opened wide when he felt his half hard cock lifted and massaged by unicorn magic, looking down to find a smiling Vinyl with a lit horn, the light dancing off his face, resembling the lights of the club. It didn't take long before Octavian had reached full mast and Vinyl released it from his magic. The shaft now stood up straight on its own and Vinyl was staring right at it. Why was he doing that? Was it too small for somepony who had no doubt seen so many cocks? Was he going to lau-

Octavian's thought was cut short as Vinyl started peppering kisses up the length until he reached the head, where he licked before sucking it into his mouth. Octavian's mind went blissfully blank, every care or worry gone as Vinyl took more and more of him into that wonderfully hot and wet cavern. Vinyl stopped around his medial ring but it was enough; Octavian's eyes fluttered closed as he just let himself enjoy his first blowjob. It seemed Vinyl's tongue was everywhere, Vinyl withdrew his mouth a second later and Octavian whined at the loss before moaning as it quickly returned.

He could already feel the orgasm building in his body, slowly raising with each action taken by that wonderful mouth. One bob turned into two which turned into three and already Octavian was nearing his limit, fighting the urge to buck into Vinyl's mouth. He wanted this to last forever, it was quite frankly the best thing he had ever felt in his entire life.

As much as he tried to fight it, he felt his head start to flare, he was going to cum and there was nothing to do about it. He thought about warning Vinyl and tried to form the words in his mouth but accomplished little more than babbling. Vinyl seemed to sense his imminent orgasm and pulled back just to have Octavian's flare resting inside his mouth.

Octavian couldn't fight it anymore, his world going white as he came, cock pulsing and spurting into Vinyl's suckling mouth. The pleasure was simply unbeatable, his masturbation with his hooves was in a completely different world. His body was jelly, he could do nothing but empty his balls in gush after gush of his seed. Finally the flow slowed to a trickle and then stopped along with the pleasure, allowing Octavian's senses to return.

In his state of post-orgasm bliss he heard the sound of a large gulping swallow, followed shortly after by another one. He managed to find the energy to coax open his eyes and found Vinyl rising to his hooves, then take another final swallow before opening his mouth and taking a breath.

When Vinyl saw that Octavian was watching him though he put on a smile. "You relaxed now?" Vinyl asked him, coming up muzzle to muzzle. Octavian could do nothing but nod eagerly, his gratitude hard to put into words.

"Good. Just so you know I don't normally let stallions cum in my mouth, much less swallow if they do but I thought I'd give you the full experience." Vinyl remarked with a smile, occasionally licking his lips "That was pretty big load, had you been saving up?" Vinyl then teased, causing Octavian to blush deep red, such things simply were not to be talked about but to somepony who had just done that he guessed there were no such thing as secrets.

"Well I was staring at the stallions on the dace floor all evening" Octavian remarked off hoof. It was true that he had nursed a half stiffy all night, indeed there wasn't a sheathed cock in the entire place so he wasn't the only one.

"They can be pretty hot." Vinyl agreed then turned around and headed for the door, lifting his tail to let Octavian see his little hole, taint and set of black balls that contrasted so much with his fur, his cock was also black with white splotches and was hard and bobbing with his steps.

"Where are you going?" Octavian asked

"Bathroom, be right back, don't fall asleep." Vinyl explained then at Octavian turned head explained further "Gotta wash my mouth out, cum doesn't taste all that great, you'll probably find that out for yourself sometime." he finished then he walked out of sight but kept the door open.

Octavian saw a light come on, followed by running water and then gurgling. It was an odd feeling as he sat there, taking the time to examine the posters on the wall. He had no idea who any of these bands were and from the posters they didn't play music he'd like too well. It was too dark to see into the closet and the only other thing in the room was a basket full of dirty clothes. He twiddled his hooves, absentmindedly looking at the stamp that got him into this.

He had a chuckle at his father's expense, he had meant for Octavian to get laid tonight but he somehow doubted this was what he had in mind. His father would probably disown him if he ever found out though. The thought of Vinyl blackmailing him crossed his mind then he put it aside, Vinyl gave no indication that he knew Octavian was rich. It didn't seem Vinyl was hurting for money either, he didn't need a roommate and this place was good enough, in a halfway decent working class area.

He heard Vinyl spit, then the water cut off, followed by the light turning off and soon enough Vinyl had reappeared. "Much better, now where were we?" he asked as he walked up to the pony on the bed and kissed him passionately. Octavian could only taste the mouthwash but it didn't matter as tried to return the kiss as best he could. He found himself being pushed back onto his back and Vinyl laying on top of him, cock to cock, the unicorn thrusting slowly, grinding them together.

"Want to top or bottom?" Vinyl asked when he broke their kiss.

"Huh" Octavian repeated his comment from earlier in the night, brain still fuzzy from the kisses.

He knew what the terms meant but truth be told he never thought too hard about this, he just assumed that the roles would just naturally appear with his coltfriend. It seemed he was on the spot, one part of his brain screaming for him to fuck that little hole he had seen earlier, rut it hard and fill it with his cum. Yet another part focused on Vinyl's cock and how it would feel inside him, rutting him the same way he wanted to rut Vinyl and wondering just how it would feel have the unicorn's cock flare and cum inside him.

"Unless you want to give me a blowjob first, you can't take all night to chose. I want to cum at least once." Vinyl said as he continued to grind their cocks together. Octavian waited, trying to sort out his head

"5, if I reach zero you can decide while you're sucking me off " Vinyl started counting.

"Wait, you can't expect to chose this quick!" Octavian exclaimed, Vinyl paid no attention.

"4"

"Vinyl!"

"3"

"I can't believe this!"

"2 " Vinyl counted, while giving a sharp thrust and caused his cock to slip forward of Octavian's, so close that Octavian could get a clear look at it and saw the amount of pre it was leaking. Oh Prince Solaris he wanted that cock, he wanted it so bad.

"1"

"Alright, bottom, I want to bottom." Octavian blushed as he answered. Half of his brain was screaming at him the other cheering.

"Huh, I had pegged you for a top, guess we can't be right all the time" Vinyl remarked with a smile and kissed Octavian again softly, before climbing off him.

"Where are you going?" Octavian asked again as Vinyl clambered back onto the floor. Octavian could see Vinyl's eyes roll at the question, maybe he was asking too many?

"To get some lube, I somehow doubt you want me to fuck you dry?" Vinyl said in an exasperated tone, making perfect sense.

"Sorry, stupid question" Octavian apologized to which Vinyl sighed.

"Don't worry about it, it's your first time and you're curious, completely natural. Also the counting was just to get you to stop thinking about it and go with something. I normally bottom so we can switch at anytime if you want" Vinyl said as he opened his bag.

This time he saw him magic out a plastic tube as well as one of the condom packets from earlier. He magiced them onto the bed near Octavian's rump and then climbed back on top

"It'll be easier if you turn over cutie, that's right, ass in the air, lift that tail" Vinyl commented as Octavian did so, blushing as he felt his once private hole on display. "Oh damn it, forgot something so I'll be right back, don't go anywhere" Vinyl said in a hurry before he was trotting out of the room again.

Octavian barely had time to process his leave before he returned with a towel from the bathroom. "At the club I don't care about messes, that's their problem but here I don't want to clean your cum off my sheets, and I will make you cum again." Vinyl finished with a leer at the last part as well as a slight tap on his butt.

Octavian shivered, unsure what to think about this new personality Vinyl seemed to grow all of a sudden but this was what he wanted. He heard Vinyl open the tube then speak to him again "I need you to relax now cutie, yes it will feel weird at first but try not to wiggle around too much, its important we get you good coverage."

Octavian was about ask what was going to happen but then heard Vinyl squirt out some liquid from the tube onto his hoof. Surely he didn't have to stick his hoof up there? Then he saw the light from Vinyl's horn and he began to understand.

"Here it comes, relax" Vinyl said softly and not a second later he felt the liquid start to go up his rectum. It was cold, moved around unnaturally and Octavian fought the urge to giggle and fidget but he felt Vinyl trying his best to get every inch of his passage covered. Eventually there was no more liquid left and Octavian thought he was done.

He wasn't, he heard more liquid being squeezed out and saw Vinyl's horn ignite once more. Again he tried to relax and again the he felt slippery cold liquid enter him providing a second coating and covering any gaps, going so far inside him he couldn't feel it anymore.

"Alright we're ready to go, last chance to back out or switch." Vinyl said as he took the towel and laid it under Octavian's belly. He felt Vinyl mount him and a burst of nerves almost made him switch but he held out until he felt the head of Vinyl's cock rubbing against his hole, but teasingly not pressing in.

"Hang on, almost forgot the condom; I'm not usually the one wearing it" Vinyl said with a slight chuckle, removing his cock and motioning towards the packet near Octavian's leg.

"You know I'm clean, so why?" Octavian asked. His fantasies never included condoms, those were intended for use with mares.

Vinyl sighed "It's more for your protection than mine. I sleep with a lot of stallions Octavian, I use protection every time plus get tested regularly, they always come back clean but I cannot be certain I don't have anything at this very moment. For you and you only I will go bare but don't come back here crying your eyes out if it turns out I've given you something." Vinyl told him sternly.

Octavian gulped, he was probably being stupid but "Bare Vinyl, please go bare." Octavian said softly, shifting his weight slowly

"Are you sure?" Vinyl asked and when Octavian nodded he lined himself back up. Octavian tried to relax, he felt Vinyl's cock pressing inside him, first the head and then part of the shaft and he held his breath.

It was painless at first but once Vinyl reached so far a jolt of pain shot through him and he called out, hissing in pain and discomfort, causing Vinyl to stop in his tracks. Octavian's erection started to fade from the pain so he saw Vinyl's horn light up and massage it lightly, not enough to make him cum but enough to keep him hard.

The pain passed and ever so slowly Vinyl inched his way forward again, there was a twinge when his medial ring was passed but then it was smooth sailing until Vinyl was nestled balls deep inside him.

"Been awhile since I topped; you're really tight." Vinyl whispered in Octavian's ear, sending jolts of pleasure down his body and straight to his cock. Slowly he felt Vinyl pull back a bit then press back in.

"Hot too" Vinyl continued, while Octavian was lost in his own world. Vinyl pulled back some more, to his medial ring, before thrusting himself back faster than before, causing Octavian to moan wantonly. Vinyl did it again and again, faster each time until Octavian could truly say he was being fucked and he loved every single second of it.

Octavian's front legs collapsed, taking Vinyl with him. As the other stallion panted in his ear, the fall changed the angle of thrust, Vinyl was now thrusting downwards into him, gravity helping him reach slightly deeper than before. He was now pulling out to the flare before pushing back quickly and easily, the resistance of Octavian's anus crushed under Vinyl's onslaught.

Octavian's cock was bouncing with each thrust, slapping against his belly and smearing pre in his fur, he could feel his orgasm rising, purely from being fucked by Vinyl. He moaned loudly when he felt the magic again surround his cock, massaging it hard and incasing it in an indescribable sensation of pure pleasure that almost compared with Vinyl's mouth.

He felt his orgasm come and cum he did, the magic cutting off just in time as not to impede the shots that splattered the towel and Octavian's fur as he moaned and moaned, one powerful spurt making into his mane, probably sounding like a whore but not caring at all.

While Octavian came back to Equestria again he noticed Vinyl grunting in his ear. "You clenched so hard when you came I thought you were going to squeeze my cock off" Vinyl panted out, continuing to thrust himself into Octavian's still body, making it wiggle with each one.

"I'm gonna cum in a minute, where do you want it?" Vinyl panted into his ear, Octavian barely heard him, still delirious after cumming so hard.

Vinyl continued to thrust as Octavian recovered but they were growing awkward and more ill timed as Vinyl tried to last as long a possible.

"Tell me where to cum, cutie." Vinyl grunted out harshly as he gritted down in an attempt to hold off until he was told where to go.

"In me" Octavian moaned out softly. He always wondered if you could feel a stallion cum inside and he wanted to find out.

"You sure? I can pull out if you want..." Vinyl trailed off

"Inside me, please" Octavian confirmed.

"Alright, cutie, here it comes!" Vinyl grunted out before Octavian could swear he felt Vinyl's cock flare in him, but it was more of an expanded pressure than anything else. From the grunting, moaning, shuddering and hard little thrusts he knew Vinyl was cumming yet to his disappointment he couldn't really feel it, his anus felt slightly more wet but that could just be his imagination.

Vinyl had quite a long orgasm before he collapsed onto Octavian's back, breathing hard in his ear. They laid together for a moment until Octavian turned his head and met Vinyl in a slow kiss. Vinyl eventually broke off and slowly pulled himself out of Octavian's cum filled hole, which Octavian tried to clench closed again but was having little luck.

Exhausted, Octavian collapsed onto his belly, straight down onto the cum soaked towel, pushing more into his fur but at this point he didn't care. "I could have moved that first, you know?" Vinyl asked, amused from his side, making Octavian shift to look at him. He was standing behind the bed and to the right slightly, cock shrinking yet still gleaming in the window's moonlight from the fluids covering it.

"Come on roll over, no point in sleeping on a wet towel." Vinyl said as Octavian complied wearily, wanting nothing more than to sleep. His belly was a wet matted mess, pearls of wet cum still in his fur. He barely noticed when Vinyl used magic to throw the towel away to the dirty clothes bin. What he did notice was Vinyl climbing in bed behind him.

"Don't miss that virginity of yours, do you?" Vinyl asked as he snuggled in behind Octavian, wrapping his front hooves around the grey pony's middle and molding his body to rest against his partner's.

"Nope" Octavian replied lazily as Vinyl lifted a sheet with his magic to cover them. Octavian allowed his eyes to drift closed, the unicorn's steady breathing, warmth and feelings of safety causing him to fall fast asleep.
