~1000 words


>"Well I think they're cute."

>"They are not cute." The bear insists, holding up a book to hide her face

>"I mean you were cute before, but now you're at least twice as cute. You're my cuddly wittle teddy bear." You say with a saccharine tone.

>"I am not a teddy bear." She says with rising aggravation. "I am a big, mean, vicious, grizzly woman with claws a foot long and a boyfriend who's about to get some red marks if he doesn't shut up."

>She briefly lowers the book to give you a mean glare and a low growl to emphasize her point

>"You're totally right Maddy, my bad. You're a big, mean, vicious teddy bear with a few new beauty marks."

>You walk around and kneel beside the couch, placing a finger on the top of her book while putting the slightest amount of downward pressure. She keeps the book in place for a short moment, but soon relents and allows it to lower.

>You stare into her emerald green eyes as they reveal themselves, admiring how her beauty managed to effortlessly shine through the annoyed look she was giving you

>"And Maddy, you're also the bravest, strongest, most caring girlfriend a guy like me could ever ask for."

>You're relieved to see her expression soften

>"I guess you should consider yourself lucky, because if I wasn't the bravest, strongest, most protective girlfriend a guy like you could ask for you might have been robbed and kidnapped and, and, and who knows what else by that orange and black striped bitch!" She exclaims.

>"And you have no idea how glad I am you were there to stop her Maddy. A few seconds later and she might have had me penniless, naked, and smelling of catnip and kitty litter."

>"Seriously anon! Walking into that alleyway all alone? What were you thinking doing something so stupid around a part of town like that?"

>"I already told you, I thought I heard a kitten mewling around the garbage cans so I went to check it out, maybe save it if it was a stray. By the time I realized that the sound wasn't coming from a mewling kitten but a malicious tigress she was already behind me with her fangs out and maw drooling."

>"I bet that wasn't the only part of her that was drooling." Maddy says with a tinge of disgust. "You couldn't tell, but the...signs...of what she wanted to do with you were in the air. Fucking bitch..." She mutters under her breath

>"Well on the bright side her little plan wasn't able to be carried out due to the appearance of a certain heroic fuzzy lady. A fuzzy lady with a mean growl and imposing figure."

>"I don't think she found me that imposing Anon." Maddy admits softly.

>"Of course she did! If she didn't then she would've put up more of a fight. One single swipe from you and she was running for the hills with her tail between her legs. Literally!"

>"Ya, but not before she gave me these." She points to the scars around her eye.

>"She got one lucky strike in, we can't dodge every blow that comes our way Maddy. If we could have switched places I would have taken those scars for you without hesitation."

>She shoots you a knowing look before stating the obvious

>"Anon, if you took that swipe from her I don't think you would have much of a face left."

>You lower your voice and take on a faux serious tone

>"Now Maddy, be honest with me here, do you think that would have been an improvement over my current mug? Given my current litany of facial deformities and all?"

>She suppresses her laughter for a split second before letting loose a mad chuckle, you can't help but laugh with her

>"Humans are so strange! A few speckled dots on your face is a deformity, but my big jagged scars are cute? Ha! Go ahead and tell me another joke Anon."

>The laughter simmers down and you once again stare into her shining emerald eyes

>"Maddy, I wasn't joking about your scars. You may think they're ugly, but what I see is a proof of a caring girlfriend. Proof of a woman who'll do anything to protect what she loves."

>She turns away and waves a hand dismissively

>"Oh you're just saying that to be nice Anon, no need to sugar coat it. The doctors said the wounds were too deep, that the fur can't grow back. They'll be there forever whether I like it or not. I had such a nice coat too, always got compliments on my volume and coloration when I was a cub. Now it's been irreversibly marred by that tiger slut. Maybe I could, I don't know, brush my fur so it cove-"

>She's stopped by a moist sensation on the side of her muzzle, the warm feeling of a kiss from you

>With Maddy unsure how to respond to the sudden display of affection you place a hand gently on her muzzle and point it towards you

>"Maddy, baby, I already told you. They're cute." You softly implore. "Marks of distinction, badges of honor, nothing to be ashamed of, or try to hide."

>A delicate smile slowly comes across her thin black lips

>"You really think that?"

>You slowly shake your head up and down before speaking again

>"Would it help you feel better if I kissed you where it hurts?"

>"mmhmm" She responds before a claw towards one of the marks by her eye

>You lean forward and place a tender peck on the scar

>She points to another one and you repeat the process until you've displayed your affection for all of her battle scars

>Finally, she points to her lips

>Knowing what this means the two of you lock mouths together and share a kiss that would turn into a night of passion

>And no matter what she would say, you still think they're cute
