The Holidays Can Get a Little Batty

As the last few families dispersed the area, Noelle and Miri stood off to the sides by themselves, finally able to catch their breaths. Both were breathing just a bit harder than usual, and a light sheen of sweat could definitely be seen on them.

"Wow, I didn't expect it to get so hot in here." Noelle mentioned through a slightly tired smile as she fanned herself.

"No kidding, I could definitely use a drink." Miri readily agreed as he tugged at the collar of his skin-er... fur-tight suit.

But as the two were cooling off, Noelle made a point of sticking her face rather close to Miri's, making sure he saw the smug grin she was wearing.

"So, be honest, how bad was that?" She spoke clearly sarcastically, and even Miri couldn't help but let out a light, defeated laugh.

"Ok, ok, you were right. That was... pretty fun." The Bat had to admit, unable to stop his own grin from creasing his muzzle.

"See how much better things are when you don't overthink and worry about everything." Noelle continued to nail home her triumph.

"Yes Noelle, I see that now." Miri replied in mock submission, treating Noelle like she were his mother giving him a lecture.

As the two teens shared smiles and fought to fight off the heat that the crowd of hundreds had created in the confined room, they did eventually notice Brandy coming to approach them after the last of the families had left, and as the mall staff were starting to shut down some of the lights of the workshop.

"Miri, Noelle, that was so amazing! You both did a fantastic job tonight!" the festive matron excitedly emoted over the younger volunteers.

"We're glad you think so Mrs. Klaus. Miri and I both had a blast!" Noelle returned the more mature woman's enthusiasm.

"It really does mean an absolute ton to me and Ruben that you both decided to join up with us." Brandy adamantly continued her praise of the two.

"Really, we were happy to be here." Miri offered this time, his voice a good bit steadier now having gained some confidence over the course of the night.

"Well hey, I know that kids like you have probably had enough of helping the old folks and probably want to head out of here, but if you'd care to stay a little while longer we have some snacks and drinks to enjoy in the breakroom." Mrs. Klaus graciously offered, sounding just as kindly as she always had since they were little kids when she'd offer them cookies and treats.

Miri could practically feel the wolfish grin hanging off of Noelle, but before either of them could answer, Mr. Klaus quickly came up to the group and interrupted.

"Whoa there dear, what's the sudden rush?" Mrs. Klaus asked, noticing the sudden quick pace in her husband's typically leisurely footfalls.              

"Oh honey, I am really sorry, but I'm gonna have to get out of here early. I'll spare you the long and, trust me, tedious details, suffice to say it's a work thing." Ruben spoke, extremely apologetically.

"Well, you're certainly being a trooper tonight, pulling Santa duty and work duty." Brandy answered, completely understanding his urgency. She pulled him close and gave him a wifely kiss on his forehead as a show of her pride. "Go on ahead, I'll be home a little later."

Ruben took a minute to briefly thank the teens and praise them as Brandy had done, and then with his wife's permission he hustled out of the mall to deal with whatever crises had called him. After watching the red coat adorning her husband vanish from sight, Mrs. Klaus turned back to the kids.

"Well, I guess it's just me then. Oh really, you shouldn't feel like you have to stay." Mrs. Klaus continued slightly apologetically as she folded her hands in front of her skirt.

"We'd love to stay for a little while." But Noelle was quick to chipperly pipe in. "We could definitely use a drink after wading through that crowd for two hours."

Brandy's face lit up in delight at the younger girl's words.

"That's wonderful! I'm going to go change out of this costume, but you two can head to the breakroom over there whenever you like."

And as the lovely Mrs. Klaus turned to head away, Noelle cast a devilishly sly smirk to Miri, which her returned with a genuinely questioning look.

"What are you up to now?" The Bat asked as he eyed her suspiciously.

"It's just what I promised. I'm getting you some quality alone time with your precious Mrs. Klaus." Came the teasing reply as Noelle's grin only seemed to grow wider.

Miri immediately broke out in a blush.

"What the hell, you weren't really serious about that?!" The Bat shot out in disbelief.

But Noelle easily brushed off his apprehension and just threw an arm around her best friend's shoulder, forcing them both close together.

"Come on, isn't this the moment you've been waiting literally your whole life for?" Noelle continued to egg him on as though this were a simple matter.

For her 'trouble' though, Miri just kept glaring at her.

"You are either teasing me way worse than you ever have before, or you've gone completely insane!"

Noelle just giggled smugly.

"Well, maybe I have gone a little... Batty." She spoke through the most shit-eating grin Miri had ever seen from the girl.

It was obvious from the Bat's expression that he didn't appreciate the joke, but Noelle wouldn't allow him kill the fun for them both. Rather she simply stepped behind her friend and started forcefully pushing him towards the break room.

"Will just relax and go with the flow for once in your life? Just follow my lead and trust me."

*

Next thing Miri knew, he and Noelle were sitting on an old loveseat in the breakroom, some drinks and a small plate of holiday snacks set on their laps. Apparently their little argument had taken longer than the Bat realized, as the two teens weren't waiting much longer before Mrs. Klaus joined them in the breakroom. She'd now shed her Mrs. Claus outfit and wore a simple but comfortable looking Christmas sweater and some jeans.

"I'm so glad you two decided to join me. But you shouldn't feel obligated to stay too long, I just wanted to give you both a little thanks for all your hard work. It was obvious the children really loved you." Brandy continued to heap praise and smiles on the two.

"No, we should be the ones thanking you Mrs. Klaus. You've always been so nice to us, ever since we were little kids. We're just happy we finally got to return the favor a little." Miri returned with his own, much less nervous smile.

Brandy beamed down on the little Bat before turning to the snack table to grab herself some treats. Taking her opportunity, Noelle scooted in closer to her friend, leaning right over Miri's shoulder as she whispered directly into his giant, twitchy ear.

"I bet this whole night you've been thinking that she's even hotter than she's ever been before. You must feel so lucky to have your very own personal Mrs. Claus to ogle." Noelle's soft voice only reached him, and Miri knew she was very deliberately trying to rile him up.

Turning just enough to face her with the corner of his eye, he shot the pernicious girl a threatening glare.

"Noelle, I swear if you do anything weird..." But the Beast was suddenly stopped dead in his tracks once his pretty friend pursed her lips and gently blew into his big, velvety ear, and her delicate hand was spreading boldly over his thigh.

"I told you to relax. Just consider this my... early Christmas present to you." Noelle again whispered, far more salaciously than before.

Now Miri was really starting to get worried at her behavior. Noelle had always teased him, basically from the day they first met, but it was obvious she was acting way different this time, like she was actually serious about what she was saying, and the poor, conflicted Bat had no idea how to react.

"You know you don't have to just stand over there by yourself. Come and sit with us!" Noelle suddenly turned her attention to Brandy, and (loudly) invited her over. "Miri, scooch!"

As Noelle moved far to one side of the small couch and forcefully dragged the Bat into the dead center, Mrs. Klaus just laughed softly at the little show. Even now, with the two being nearly full grown, they still acted like the same little children she saw growing up; Noelle the energetic and ever excitable leader and Miri helpless but to be dragged into her shenanigans at a whim.

"Honestly, all these years and you're still the same silly children I remember from almost a decade ago."

Nevertheless, the bemused Mrs. Klaus did indeed step elegantly over to the cramped couch and sat herself down on the end, sandwiching a now practically pink-faced Miri between herself and Noelle.

"Oof, this is a bit more snug than I realized." Brandy continued on with another light, good natured laugh as her hip and thigh pressed in oppressively on the wiry little Bat boy beside her.

"Oh don't worry, Miri doesn't mind one bit." Noelle quickly replied.

The increasingly worried Miri continued to throw his troublesome friend more and more nervous glances, but Noelle's fingers just continued to play along his lap, getting dangerously close to stroking right along his groin. Worse yet, now that he was trapped between two incredibly pretty girls, the poor Beast could feel his cock starting swell, despite his intense embarrassment.

As Noelle continued to stoke an extremely unexpected fire in her best friend, Mrs. Klaus set her plate and drink to a table on the side and sighed contentedly, leaning heavily back into the sofa.

"Ahhhh, this is nice, just being able to relax like this. I'm just sorry you kids have to spend your evening with a boring old lady like me. I'm sure you'd much rather be out doing something more exciting." Brandy idly mused.

"I can promise, Miri is perfectly happy to spend all the time he can with you." Noelle impishly assured their lovely companion.

"Noelle..." Miri grunted under his breath, though now he sounded much more pleading than threatening.

But Noelle didn't relent, and it quickly became clear she had every intention of spilling Miri's adorably embarrassing little secret this evening.

"I don't know if you ever caught on, but little Miri here has always loved being around you, ever since we were kids. In fact, even as a little boy you happened to be his very first crush."

Miri felt like his face was about to burst into flames, as mortified as he was. He never would've expected Noelle would spill that ancient can of beans tonight, and that was only made much worse as the vexing young vixen continued to taunt him by sliding her hands closer and closer towards his malehood.

But whatever he was afraid Mrs. Klaus would say in response, the never-troubled woman just let off another bout of radiant laughter.

"Hahaha, is that right?" She spoke so warmly as her soft eyes ran over the fretfully timid young Bat.

"Well, you have always been one of the most incredibly sweet little boys I've ever known. I'm really so flattered to have caught your eye like that."

Miri truly just wanted to disappear at that moment, but then he felt Brandy's gentle, loving hand move behind his head and start to soothingly rub and scratch the supple fur behind his massive ears.

"I'm so very glad that I've had the chance to know you both so well over the years and get to see you grow into such fine young adults." The angelic woman continued to ease the worried little Bat.

Noelle couldn't help but smirk as she saw the kind touch, and how Miri's brain was practically melting down because of it. Now she decided to finally hit the killing blow on her friend, and get her plans for the evening well and truly started.

The teen troublemaker finally dropped the teasing pretense she'd been touching Miri with, and now openly traced her fingers directly over the noticeable bulge creasing his green tights, gently stroking the Bat's cock for the first time in their lives.

Now Miri's eyes went wide in real shock and panic as he stared directly at his best friend in disbelief. But in response Noelle just gave him a much darker, more wicked grin and blew him a silent kiss. Only now was the Bat really starting to understand that Noelle wasn't just goading him on this time; she planned to make good on these promises!

"You know, when we were younger, whenever we saw you, Miri would always just stare like a lovesick puppy. He'd go on and on about how pretty you were, and how when he grew up he was gonna marry you." Noelle continued to speak to Mrs. Klaus, but Miri could tell her voice was getting heavier, more seductive.

Miri was outright trembling now, but the sheer weight of his embarrassment was now only partly the cause. Now it was just as much due to the panic of having his oldest friend brushing against his dick that was sending him into a total meltdown.

But Mrs. Klaus didn't seem to notice what was going on below the Bat's belt, and just hummed thoughtfully at Noelle's words.

"Geez deary, you must really be getting a kick out of making this old woman blush."

Miri didn't dare to look at either one of the females sitting beside him, but Noelle's smile continued to grow imperceptibly wider when she did notice there was, in fact, a growing blush forming on Brandy's face. She also saw how the older female still kept her hand mindlessly stroking along the back of Miri's head, something she'd been doing for quite a while now. That, of course, didn't distract Noelle from busying her hand over Miri's rapidly stiffening phallus.

"And you wanna know something else? I'd bet if you asked him now, Miri wouldn't say any different. I think he'd still say you're one of the most beautiful women in this town." Noelle continued to drive in the nails, enticing both the ravishingly curious Brandy and adorably helpless Miri closer and closer towards one another.

And the more Noelle spoke, the more Mrs. Klaus' poise continued to crack. The older female's face was nearly bright crimson as she stared straight past the Bat in question, locking deeply uncertain eyes with the impish little girl sitting opposite her.

"Y-You know sweety... it really isn't right to tease a lady quite so much." Brandy's words reached the younger girl, but the authority and elegance she had always carried them with was finally starting to vanish.

Noelle sharply focused her gaze on the straying older female.

"I wasn't teasing even a little." She spoke quietly, without the least hint of insincerity.

The couch fell eerily silent, but Miri felt like he was caught in the middle of a battlefield. Noelle's nimble hand was rubbing more and more demandingly over the now very prominent outline of his cock; any pretense of playful joking was indeed long gone. But what was almost worse for the fretful Chiropteran was the fact that Mrs. Klaus' hand was still toying with the back of his head, her own touch lingering far past what would've been considered appropriate, and she just kept petting him harder, it almost felt possessive to him.

Noelle started leaning harder against Miri, pressing her chest right into his shoulder, a sensation he had grown far too aware of, and still all the beleaguered Bat could do was stare straight down at the floor and torture himself in uncertainty.

"You know, for all Miri's done, for how nice he's been all these years, I kinda think tonight he might deserve... a bit of a reward." Noelle purred, her warm breath humming right along Miri's hypersensitive ear.

To the inexperienced Beast's still impossibly growing surprise, Mrs. Klaus herself actually started to lean in too, now pressing her own massive bosom into his opposite shoulder and completely trapping him between two walls of such temptingly soft feminine flesh.

"I think you might be right." Mrs. Klaus replied to Noelle, her voice having grown its' own air of mature sensuality as it ghosted through Miri's other ear.

"I know he'd definitely appreciate a little kiss." Noelle spoke, and though Miri's eyes were still locked downward he could still hear the girl's lips curling in a wicked grin.

Mrs. Klaus' reply came as a heavy, wet whisper that barely even reached the Bat by this point.

"I ... guess I could do that."

Brandy closed the few inches she'd been to Miri's face and placed a lingering, gentle kiss right on his cheek. The Bat felt his spine stiffen so hard he was afraid it was gonna launch straight out of his body!

"There... that's for all your hard work tonight." Brandy hushed against his still warm cheek as her lips came away.

Before Miri even had a chance to really register what had just happened, he felt Noelle suddenly shift on his other side, her face coming right alongside his own before it was her lips pressed hard against the other fuzzy cheek.

"That's for being so brave and agreeing to volunteer with me." The younger girl sighed beside her precious friend.

As Noelle left his skin, Mrs. Klaus took her place and leaned in to plant another lovely kiss on his cheek.

"That's for always being such a kind, caring, and thoughtful young boy."

With Brandy's feathery voice ringing in his ear, Noelle puckered up for another smooch.

"That's for always putting up with me teasing you and bossing you around."

As Noelle gave her ever mischievous yet compassionate thanks, Mrs. Klaus leaned in for one more peck on the Bat's now burning-hot face.

"That's for flattering this little old lady with your sweet little crush." The older woman so kindly cooed against him.

"And this..." Noelle nearly sang as she finally drew her hand away from his crotch, dragging it up to cup Miri's Beastly face. For the first time since he'd been swept up in her games Miri was forced to look at her, and he saw the well of emotion in the girl's eyes, something he'd never noticed before.

"...Is because you've always been my best friend."

Finally, for the first time in the lives they'd spent nearly all of together, Noelle brought her lips against Miri's and kissed her beloved Bat, sighing in exquisite happiness. She let the moment linger for a long while before pulling away with a small, nervous giggle, her own face finally looking a bit flushed and flustered to match her friend's. Miri could hardly take notice of that, however; he had been completely blown away by this.

"Noelle... I-I'm sorry I never..." But the Bat was quickly silenced as Noelle pulled him in for another kiss, only letting her lips leave his after he'd gotten the message. She continued to hold his face close, though, just staring dreamily at her lifelong best friend.

"Never mind that, I still haven't given you your full present yet." With that curious commitment, Noelle turned her soft, sincere look back to the smoldering, mischievous grin as she glanced again towards Mrs. Klaus.

"And I was hoping you wouldn't mind helping with that."

Having absolutely no clue what else could happen to him at this point, Miri turned his own nervous gaze to the ravishing Mrs. Klaus, whom he'd admired for so much of his life. And the matronly woman in turn just gave the same utterly sweet, caring smile she always had. Yet now there was an undeniable hint of something more, a longing behind the compassion.

"I think I'd be happy to help with that."

Now was Brandy's turn to lean in, and Miri could've fainted as his long-desired crush connected her plump, experienced lips to his muzzle, giving him such a warm, tender kiss and sighing so very sweetly into his mouth. Eventually the ravishing woman backed off, leaving Miri in a practically drunken stupor. His senses all but failed him, and his head fell back and crashed into the couch cushion as he stared brainlessly up at the ceiling.

"You both... I don't know what to say." The overwhelmed Beast said breathlessly.

At that comment, Noelle and Brandy both couldn't help but giggle together as they shared a giddy look.
