This story was a bit of a collaboration with cdrc_1995 , we discussed the poses, setting and characters, and I wrote the story. Thank you again for the help! This story is also quite a bit longer than my previous ones. Hope you all enjoy!

Wucro belongs to me, and Chris belongs to cdrc_1995

---

The female dancers went out with a bang in their performance. The trio of ocelots bowed down as the workers backstage closed the curtains and turned off the stage lights. All accompanied by applause from the audience. The three dancers dashed offstage and the stagehands began setting up the props for the next act, hurrying so the show could go on as soon as possible. A large metallic platform in the center of the stage, and a transparent acrylic box behind it. All the other props the performers needed were inside it.


As soon as the stagehands left, they opened the curtains. The speakers began playing a calm, serene violin track, livening up the dark stage. Finally, the people backstage slowly brightened the stage lights as the two performers made their entrance. From the right, Wucro came out wearing a skin-tight, gold bodysuit. Standing at 184cm tall, the monkey's body was covered by that shiny, golden spandex, except for his hands, tail and head. The costume didn't cover the ape's musculature completely, some of the finer details were still visible.


From the left, a gray wolf named Chris came out. He was wearing the same style of suit as Wucro, only in a beautiful silver color, blending in with his fur. He was 3 cm taller than the ape, though with a much slimmer build. The pair made their way to the center of the stage by doing graceful and elegant cartwheels and flips. They made sure to show off their flexible backs, planting both feet on the floor before raising their upper bodies. Each performer did 3 flips before meeting in the middle. Both of them faced the audience, and the audience saw Chris' particular eyes. His right eye was blue, while his left eye was green.


Chris was the first to step onto the platform, while the primate stood aside. The canine faced to the side, looking at the ape as he raised his arms, stretching them up. He then began bending backward, in pace with the calm, beautiful music. The wolf planted his hands on the floor, in a backbend. Then, he began lowering his hips, until his butt touched his head, creating a sharp bend in the middle of his torso. His thighs were parallel with the platform, and his knees were bent at a 90° angle. In the end, it created a shape similar to a chair's, which Wucro used after getting on the platform. The primate sat on the canine's thighs, and laid back, draping his torso over Chris' raised stomach. The wolf's expression remained serious, while the ape closed his eyes with a light smile, stretching his arms behind him.


The simian then swung back onto his feet, using the momentum he got from raising his torso back up. After doing a high kick with his right leg, raising his foot above his head, he turned around to face the wolf. The primate raised his right leg and placed his foot on top of his partner's corresponding knee. He quickly followed with the other one, now standing on the wolf's knees. The primate then bent forward, placing his right hand on the peak of that bent torso. Wucro shifted his weight to his arm, allowing him to raise his legs as if he was weightless. It was one fluid, continuous, slow movement until the monkey's legs were in the air.


A few members of the crowd began clapping already, but they weren't done quite yet. The monkey first raised his legs and kept his feet together, while also keeping his free arm by his side. His body was a perfectly straight line, tail swishing in the air. The primate then crossed his right leg over his left, putting his foot above his thigh. He did the same with the other leg, getting into a lotus without using his hands. He didn't stop there, as he began bending his back right after, finishing in a beautiful backbend lotus. Chris crossed his right leg over his left, supporting all that weight on 3 limbs. The crowd cheered the pair on. Once the applause died down, the ape untangled his legs and swung them back on the floor, getting off his partner.


Chris raised his legs to flip back onto his feet. The duo then cartwheeled to their next position. They faced the audience, with Wucro behind the wolf. Both of them raised their arms in unison before moving on to the next number. The primate knelt and grabbed the canine's left calf. Wucro then raised it, making Chris do a standing side split. Still holding on to his partner, the simian placed his free hand on the wolf's other leg. He then raised his own legs off the platform. In an incredible display of strength, the monkey pulled off a human flag pose using the wolf's legs as a pole. The primate didn't shake at all, his facial expression serene, identical to the wolf's. Chris gestured with his arms, pointing them up and spreading his fingers. Wucro meanwhile, began raising his legs, holding on to the canine with an iron grip.


Once the monkey's legs were perpendicular to the floor, he began raising himself, using his strong arms. That allowed him to rest his rear on his partner's raised paw, finally releasing his legs. Wucro sat on the canine's paw for a little while, swinging his arms in a large circle before bending his legs. It was tricky, but by shifting around on top of that small "platform" the ape was able to place his left foot atop Chris' paw. The monkey stood up like that, taking extra care to not throw his partner off balance, not making any drastic movements. Then, without using his hands, the primate raised his right leg up into a standing side split, creating a thin, straight line across all four legs. Both performers' tails swung up and down in time with the music. The duo's pose was rock solid, neither showing any trouble balancing. The audience once again showed their support and appreciation.


The simian lowered his right leg and crouched to hold onto Chris's foot. That allowed him to lower himself to the platform without having to jump down. The wolf then lowered his legs and bent over backward, doing a flip and letting the primate take the center of the platform. Wucro sat down with his legs straight in front of him. The primate raised his arms, and joined them together, pressing his palms against each other. He then began bending his legs too, pressing his soles against each other, moving them until his feet were touching his stomach, in a kandasana. The primate closed his eyes and began shifting his feet, moving them apart from each other toward his hips. After that, he raised his knees, and now he was in his favorite pose. Legs behind back. It looked effortless, the control he had over his limbs was immense. His hands now made their way to the floor, with his elbows pressed against his stomach.


The primate then raised his lower body off the floor, supporting his body by his arms in that position. He looked at the audience with a confident smile as the wolf stood behind him. The canine bent forward to grab the monkey's feet with his hands. At first, he pulled them up and down, showing how loose they were. Then, Chris raised his legs off the floor. Now Wucro was supporting both himself and his partner by his arms. The gray wolf first had his legs stretched out straight in front of him. He then got into a kandasana, the same way Wucro did. After that, Chris moved his body to get into a backbend kandasana on top of the ape. Meanwhile, the muscular primate set up the final part of the pose. He moved his right hand towards his center of gravity as his partner got into that backbend. Few people in the audience were ready for the monkey to raise his left arm, supporting and balancing both their weights with one limb. The applause was fervorous for such an amazing display. The pair made it look easy.


Wucro felt comfortable holding that pose for as long as the applause lasted, even turning from side to side to give everyone other angles to look at. Chris unbent his legs and flipped back onto his feet, dropping behind the platform to grab his first prop. Wucro meanwhile sat back down, pulling his legs from behind his back and crossing them, before standing up. He moved to the left, giving the wolf access to the center of the platform, where a small, circular hole was. The canine had grabbed a small stand with a mouthpiece at the tip. He inserted the other end into the hole, fixating it to the platform.


Chris then stood behind it, facing the audience while the primate stood to the side. The gray wolf then bent forward and opened his maw, taking the mouthpiece into it and clenching his jaw around it. His strong teeth dug into the malleable material. The performer then raised one leg off the ground and used the other to launch his lower body upward. All while his arms stayed stretched out to the side, fingers spread apart. He then brought his legs forward, bending his back for a Marinelli bend. His rear rested atop his head, while his legs pointed forward. Wucro then stood behind the bent canine and placed his hands on his partner's hips. The primate raised his right leg into the air in a split, before using his dexterity and control to bend it behind his head. It was more graceful and elegant than swinging it over his head. After that, he moved that bent leg downward, until it reached his lower back. At that point, the simian leaned forward and raised his foot off the platform, using his partner's hips as support for a handstand.


Chris's expression was serious, focused, but he didn't seem to have trouble holding all that weight with his maw. The simian raised his lower body until he was perpendicular to the floor, his back facing the audience. Those present could see how deep his leg was on his back, and that was soon followed by his other leg. Everyone watched as the primate got it in the same position, that muscular limb gliding across his golden back. The monkey followed up by then getting into a backbend, slowly bringing his rear toward his head. He didn't stop there for long, going further until his feet rested on top of his head. Wucro couldn't help but let out a smirk, proud of that pose. The pair was once again met with support and cheers from the audience. Once that died down, The primate raised his body until it was vertical, unhooked his legs from behind his back, and got off the wolf. The canine, in turn, placed his paws on the platform in front of him and swung his upper body to stand on his legs again.


The primate reached down to remove the stand from the socket in the platform. He then hopped off from it, moving behind it and crouching next to the acrylic box. Meanwhile, Chris laid down on his stomach, facing the audience. First, he raised his shoulders and stretched his arms up, looking at the ceiling. Then, he raised his lower body, for another backbend. Now, however, with his shoulders raised, he was able to take it further. He got his knees past his armpits, doing a ruppel bend. He then rested his arms on his legs, but kept his forearms vertical. Wucro walked around the platform with his hands behind his back, hiding something from the audience's view. Once he was in front of the wolf, he glanced back at him, before looking at the audience. The primate jumped back on top of his partner, both feet landing on the wolf's corresponding hands.


The canine grasped the monkey's feet, keeping his arms steady. The ape moved his arms out to the side, revealing what he grabbed from inside the box. Three shiny, metallic juggling balls. He had two in his right hand, and one in his left. He didn't begin juggling right away, instead choosing to bend his back, getting into a pose similar to his partner's. He got his shoulders past his legs, in a standing ruppel. He was able to look right at the audience as he began juggling in that complicated pose. He even pulled off some tricks, juggling with one hand and even reaching around on the outside of his legs for a few throws. After the crowd cheered once more, he stopped, holding the reflective spheres in his hands before unbending his back. The primate used his monstrous core strength to bring his torso upwards, back to a normal position.


Instead of stopping when his body was upright, he kept bending forward, looking to show off his frontbending too. He kept his legs as stiff as a board as he lowered his torso. He managed to get his upper body past his legs, once again using his muscular core to move his body without help from his arms. His frontbend was extreme enough for him to be able to peek at the crowd, his eyes above where his legs ended. The primate then raised his arms and began juggling again, this time, throwing the orbs higher into the air for a bigger impact on the spectators. He hoped to leave them even more awe-struck than they already were. The primate began catching the spheres between his pointer and middle fingers. His confidence was exuberant. He finished by catching all three balls between his fingers, two on his right hand, and one on his left. He then swung his body back, standing upright again and hopping off his partner's hands.


The simian left the three juggling balls on the platform, in front of him. Both performers then went to the box once more, to grab the props for the next number. Chris grabbed a shiny, wide, and short cylinder, closer to a ring in shape. The circumference was large enough to fit two bodies through it, and it was a foot deep. Wucro grabbed an identical cylinder and three more juggling balls. The acrylic box was now empty as the canine once again took the center of the stage. He first showed off the ring to the audience, before placing it in front of his stomach, circling his midsection.


The wolf then began bending backward, pushing the ring toward him. The ring was able to fit two bodies, so it fit one bent in half just as well. As Chris tightened his backbend, he pulled the ring in to lock it. Everyone there observed his form, most focusing on the bend at the very peak. The cylinder highlighted how tight it was. The canine turned around so he could look at the spectators, and also so he could grab the three spheres left there by the ape.


After Chris got in position, Wucro began moving. He first placed the empty box in the center of the platform, so he could use it as a footstool. He stood on top of it, holding the ring against his side using his right arm and holding the three small spheres in his left hand. Next, he raised his right leg and placed his foot on top of the canine's bent midsection, to a few audience members' disbelief. He then stepped on top of his partner, both feet resting on the wolf's body. That was already enough to get some of the crowd members clapping. But then Wucro turned around, pressing the ring against his own torso and getting into a bend identical to the canine's. Chris, with the three juggling balls in his hands, held his arms out to the side in unison with Wucro.


After a quick breath, the duo began juggling. At first, they didn't do any tricks, instead just keeping the three spheres moving. After a few moments, they began swapping. Wucro started dropping the orbs that landed on his right hand to the wolf's left, and vice versa. That pattern created a beautiful cascade, their aim and coordination unerring. The audience gave them another ovation, thinking that's all they had to show. But as the cheers kept on coming, Chris and Wucro leaned a tiny bit to opposite sides. After shifting their center of gravity, each performer was able to lift one leg. Chris lifted his right, while Wucro, his left. That feat caused the noise produced by the spectators to double, some even standing and whistling. The juggling stopped only when the cheers died down, each performer holding three balls. They both held out their arms to the side, prompting another round of applause. Wucro hopped down onto the box, and both contortionists lifted the rings off their bodies. They then set the cylinders aside, off the platform, along with the spheres.


Now they were left with the empty box, set in the middle of the platform. The duo bowed to the crowd, thanking them for the monumental amount of support they gave. The primate opened the transparent box and stepped inside it. It went as high up as the primate's knees. Even an average person would be able to fit inside, after some struggling and discomfort. The wolf stood in front of the primate, and the ape placed his hands on the canine's hips. One breath later and the primate lifted Chris off the platform, and tilted him to the right. The wolf, in turn, bent his legs and shoulders back, wrapping his body around the monkey's, like a ring. The silver contortionist then took hold of his own legs, hugging the ape's body tightly as Wucro wore him like a belly warmer. The simian didn't need to hold him there anymore.


The monkey then closed his eyes and began bending his own back as well, also bending at the knees to lower himself into the box. Chris' stomach touched the bottom of the acrylic box as the primate bent his back. The performers' bodies were two interlocking rings. The inside of the box a mixture of silver and gold, looking like liquid metal. Wucro neared a triple-fold as he managed to get himself and the canine inside the box. The simian raised his right arm to wave goodbye to the audience, and closed the lid. The curtains then closed and the music stopped, leaving only the sound of uproarious applause in the theater.
