Hey, everybody. This is the JaguarMaster, and this is my first ever story that I've submitted to this site. It's more romantic in nature, but still yiffy like most of the others here, so you know the drill. Don't read this if you're offended by it! Complete warnings are below, within the copyright information. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it! Let me know what you think of it, ok? Who knows? I may just make another story with enough feedback (though I won't promise anything!) ;)


TRUST....

Ask any Pokémon trainer what they feel is most important when it comes to battle, and you're more than likely to hear this word. After all, a trainer must trust his Pokémon enough in order to perform to the very best of its ability. Likewise, the Pokémon must trust its trainer to make important, and sometimes critical, decisions during battle and act upon those decisions accordingly.

However, this trust is evident even off the battlefield. A Pokémon, like any other creature, is a living being. As such, they must rely on the trainer to provide food, shelter, and also to be kept healthy. By doing so, the trainer can trust his Pokémon to be loyal; to protect him during times of peril, and to be there during difficult times to comfort him. As long as this trust remains between the Pokémon and its trainer, they have the potential to become champions not only in battle, but in life, as well.

What happens, though, when that trust evolves into something more? What happens when the bond between a Pokémon and its trainer grows into a force more powerful than the heavens themselves? It can happen to any trainer that cares about his Pokémon enough. Sometimes, only a single event is required for a trainer to realize just how much he loves a certain Pokémon, and vice versa. But just how far will either of them go in order to prove that love to the other?

One answer may very well surprise you....

Chapter 1: Fighting Frenzy

Time: 5:47 P.M.

Date: September 9, 1998

Place: Saffron City Gym

A small bead of sweat drizzled down my face as I helplessly watched my Alakazam fall to its proverbial brother. As I proceeded to retrieve it, I stared into the cold, unforgiving eyes of my opponent, who was none other than Sabrina, the leader of the Saffron City Gym. She had a wicked grin on her face as she returned my gaze, and I knew why. She had become a lot stronger than when I battled her the last time, and her Alakazam was living proof of that strength.

Suddenly, I felt Sabrina's thoughts coursing through me. "It's true. I have become much stronger than I was last time. Few trainers are still willing to challenge me like you have. Don't forget: unless your Arcanine can stand up to my Alakazam's attacks better than your other Pokémon have, you'll have to play with me."

I shuddered, those words hitting me like a gong. I knew, from trainers who had lost to Sabrina before, what she meant by 'play.' She would turn them into little chibi dolls for a few days to put in her dollhouse... a fate that I really didn't want to endure. The mere thought of it possibly happening if I lost chilled me to the bone.

"What's the matter, Jazzy? Can't you think of something to say?"

"Oh, I have plenty to say," I replied calmly.

"Well then-- why don't you say it?"

I looked at Sabrina, a grin crossing my face. "I know, without a doubt, that I'm not going to lose. I've beaten you every time in the past, and I know that I can do it again, because I not only have faith in myself, but also my Pokémon. That faith has gotten me out of many tight spots in the past, and will do so again here tonight. You won't win, Sabrina... because you don't have the amount of faith that I do."

"That would be where you are wrong. I've been putting all my faith into training Psychic-type Pokémon since before you were born. I doubt your faith is that high."

"Why don't you put your Alakazam against my Arcanine and find out? We'll see who has more belief in their Pokémon."

"Very well, then. Alakazam, use your Psybeam attack!"

"Arcanine, use Body Slam! Paralyze that Alakazam if you can!" I ordered.

Sabrina's Alakazam proceeded to cross its arms as it readied its Psybeam attack. However, my Arcanine proved to be too quick for it. He ended up toppling the prince of psychics over like a bowling pin! "Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark!" I stated.

"Your Arcanine may be strong, but this battle will go to the one who has the most wisdom... which is me!" Sabrina replied. "Alakazam, Psywave attack!"

"It'll take much more than that to defeat me. Bite that thing, Arky!"

It was at that moment that I swore I heard a mutual gasp being emitted from both Sabrina and her Alakazam... and for good reason, too! The Pokémon League had recently upgraded Bite to a Dark-type attack, one of the few types of attacks that worked well against psychics!

Arcanine flashed me an evil grin as he readied himself to bite Alakazam right where it hurt the most: the neck! But just as he was about to deliver the critical blow, Sabrina's Pokémon did something that nearly scared the living daylights out of me. The psychic powerhouse jammed both spoons it was holding into my Arcanine's mouth, keeping his jaws wide open! Needless to say, I was stunned. Never before in my life had I seen an Alakazam make such a desperate attempt to win a battle. I almost had the nerve to accuse it of cheating... that is, until Arcanine clamped down on the spoons lodged inside of his mouth, literally breaking the silverware in half! "Whoa... Arcanine, that was wicked! Even I didn't know you could do that!"

I heard Sabrina chuckle at this. "You underestimate your own Pokémon's power. That will prove to be your downfall!" she exclaimed. "Alakazam, finish it off with your Psychic blast!"

"Arcanine, Fire Blast attack!" I yelled.

Alakazam's Psychic attack was the first to connect. I watched in horror as Arcanine was enveloped in a blue aura of light, lifted off the floor, and slammed into the wall near where I stood. He then fell to the floor, nearly unconscious.

"Oh, no... ARCANINE!"

I rushed over to my fiery canine, which was badly hurt. Upon reaching him, the first thing I noticed was that a small river of blood was flowing from the back of his neck. As soon as my eyes fell upon that, they became the same shade of crimson red as the coppery fluid. They were flaming by the time I turned to face Sabrina. In fact, one could clearly tell that I was about to go into a rage... and believe me... when that happens, someone usually gets hurt!

"Why do I sense an aura of pure hatred around you all of a sudden?" Sabrina queried, scratching her head in confusion.

I clenched my hands into fists, my rage building as I glared at the Saffron Gym Leader. "You hurt my Arcanine... he's wounded, and it's because of the force of your attack. I will not allow you to get away with that."

I then turned to Arcanine. "Arky, can you still battle for me?"

A bark was all I needed to hear to let me know he was still willing to fight. I smiled as I watched him get up and return to the battlefield. I continued to stare hatefully at Sabrina as I followed him back to my trainer's box. "You have no idea of the true power that my Arcanine has. Consider yourself lucky... your Alakazam is about to experience it first-hand!" I growled sinisterly.

"That would be your rage talking. It consumes your soul, burning you from the inside. Unless you get it under control, it will eat you alive."

"Rage and raw determination are two different things, Sabrina, as you are about to find out! Arcanine, use Fire Spin on the entire field! Don't let Alakazam escape under any circumstances!"

A bark, followed immediately by a howl, was heard as Arcanine unleashed a powerful tornado of fire on the entire battlefield. Alakazam didn't have any time to defend itself and got caught in the vortex, taking the full force of the attack! Once it had dissipated, it was obvious that Alakazam wasn't in any condition to go on, as it had first-degree burns all over its body. He had clearly passed out.

"Alakazam is unable to battle!" the referee shouted. "Arcanine is the winner! The victor of this match is the challenger Jazzy, from Fuchsia City! Congratulations!"

I ran up to my Arcanine, hugging him carefully around the neck. "You were great, Arcanine, as usual. I can always count on you to come through for me," I told him.

A bark of approval escaped Arky's muzzle, followed by a soft whimper as he saw Sabrina head toward her Alakazam and ask him if he was all right.

I sighed to myself as I watched the prince of psychics shake his head. I reached into my backpack and brought out a bottle of Full Heal. If there was one thing I could not stand, it was watching Pokémon, whether they were wild or not, suffer. This weakness often forced me to buy extra medical supplies.

Sabrina just watched as I walked over to her and her Alakazam. She seemed to know I wanted to help, as she just nodded her head. I then knelt down and began to gently spray the blue liquid on the dark red patches of the Psychic-type's skin. "I suppose, even though you're a psychic and probably already know, you're wondering why I'm helping your Alakazam."

"The thought had crossed my mind," Sabrina stated. "One minute, you're emitting so much anger, and before I can figure out why, I sense a calmer, more gentle person... one who shows compassion toward all living creatures. It confuses even me."

"Yeah, I'm kinda difficult to figure out. Even my family had trouble..."

I stopped dead in my tracks. Just mentioning my family was enough to make my eyes well up with tears. I then turned away from Sabrina, who decided not to push the issue. Instead, she gently took the half-empty bottle of Full Heal from me, reached into her pocket, and pulled out a Marsh Badge; it was proof that I had defeated her once more. "You know, I can't think of anyone who deserves this more than you."

"Thank you," I said, blushing a bit.

"You're welcome. Now get going. Your Pokémon need rest. Nurse Joy should be able to renew their energy.

"But what about..."

"I'll take care of Alakazam. You worry about your own Pokémon!"

"Are you..."

"Yes... now GO!" Sabrina ordered.

With that, both Arcanine and me rushed out of the Saffron City Gym, my Marsh Badge firmly in hand....


Chapter 2: Questions Asked, Worlds Revealed

Time: 7:53 P.M.

Place: Seafoam Islands

The sun had already begun to set in the western skies by the time I reached the Seafoam Islands. The cool, yet balmy evening air had put me on the verge of slumber several times; I was forced to bring Jolteon out to make sure I didn't fall off of Blastoise as he paddled through the water. By the time we managed to reach the coat, I was completely exhausted. I barely managed to recall my two Pokémon and make it inside the caverns before my body finally decided to succumb to its own demands. As a result, I collapsed right in the entrance of the cave. The last thing I remember seeing as my eyes closed were the beautiful colors of the evening sky reflecting off the cavern walls... or was that my Arcanine materializing?

* * * * * * * * *

Time: 10:02 P.M.

Smoke; that was the first thing I smelled as I stirred from my slumber.

Flickering flames; that was the first thing I saw as my eyes fluttered open.

Arcanine's fur; that was the first thing I felt as I regained my senses.

I delicately rubbed my forehead, trying my best not to awaken my tiger-striped pet. My efforts failed, though, as my elbow accidentally bopped against his nose, which in turn caused him to emit a low growl from deep within his throat. I froze as he turned his head toward my own; I silently breathed a sigh of relief as he did nothing but look at me and smile, his tail wagging happily.

"Did you have a nice nap?" Arcanine questioned, giving my face a gentle lick.

"Nap? I feel like I've been asleep for... hours," I yawned. "What time is it?"

"Well, I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's around ten o'clock."

I groaned at the news. "Great... so much for supper."

"It wouldn't have done you any good even if you tried, Jazzy. We used the last of our food just this afternoon."

"What? Why didn't you tell me before, Arky?"

"I tried, but you were so caught up in winning the Marsh Badge that you wouldn't listen to me."

"Oops..." I stated, blushing.

"Hey, at least you won. That's what counts, right?"

"To a point, yes. But the well-being of my Pokémon, especially you, is more important to me."

"If that's the case, would you mind if I asked you a question?"

"Of course not, Arcanine," I answered. "What do you want to know?"

"Why do you get so upset whenever I get hurt, even if it's just a minor injury?"

I felt like a 16-ton weight had been dropped upon my back at that moment. Arky had asked me some personal questions in the past, but this one was the icing on the cake. It took me so much by surprise that I had to turn away to avoid gazing into my pet's eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, Arcanine. It's just that you've asked me quite a personal question... one that I'm almost afraid to answer."

"Listen, Jazzy," Arcanine began in a calm voice, "if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to. I'm not going to force you to answer my question."

"I know, but..."

"But what? Do you really want to tell me?"

"Yes... I mean, NO!... I mean... I want to, but I don't know what to say or how I should say it."

"If that's the case, then why don't you try speaking from your heart?"

It was at that moment that I turned to face Arcanine once more. As I gazed into his beautiful ebony-black eyes, I noticed that they were sparkling, like diamonds, in the dim light of the fire. I don't know why, but as I continued to stare into those midnight orbs, I felt a sense of peace surrounding the very core of my soul. This was ironic because, for all practical purposes, I had forgotten what it was like to be at peace with myself, as well as with those around me.

"Jazzy? Are you all right? Your eyes are just full of stars for some reason."

"Hmm? What?"

"Yo, Jazzy! Are you even listening to me?!"

"Huh? Oh! Sorry, Arcanine! I guess I just got lost in my thoughts."

Arcanine cocked his head and gave me a quizzical look that clearly outlined his confusion. "I'm almost afraid to ask.... What were you thinking about?"

"I-- I was thinking about... about..."

Before I had the chance to complete my sentence, I noticed that the sparkle had returned to Arcanine's eyes. However, I also noticed that there was something... different... about the way that they glittered. They seemed to have a certain flair associated with them. I became hypnotized as I imagined myself diving into their unknown depths.

"Jazzy, are you all right? You've got a really strange look on your face."

The words went in one ear and out the other as I made a splash-tacular entrance into the world underneath the midnight seas of my pet's eyes. What I saw astounded me: pure beauty stretched out as far as the eyes could see. To my left stood a magnificent coral reef; its many shapes and brilliant colors seemed to erupt from the ocean floor, stretching for the surface.... "Wait a second! Doesn't coral usually reach outward?"

"So sue me! That's what you get for tapping into my imagination!"

I immediately turned my head toward the undeniably familiar voice of my Arcanine... and was met by quite a shocking sight. The top half of his body looked like that of the tiger-like dog, yet the bottom part resembled that of a fish! I couldn't help but stare at him and wonder, "Is this MY Pokémon, or the result of my own imagination running wild on me?"

"Well, considering the fact that this is the result of our minds blending together, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if you were hallucinating all of this."

I opened my mouth to speak, only to gasp in horror as I realized that I couldn't talk, let alone breathe, under the water's surface. My arms began to flail; water started filling my lungs; I was 'drowning' in my pet's world... or so I thought. Just when it seemed that all hope for survival had abandoned me, I saw Arcanine reaching out to me with one of his paws. I grabbed it, hoping that he would pull me to the surface before Death's shadow replaced my own.

To my astonishment, Arcanine didn't move an inch. He just remained in position, looking at me with a slight grin on his face. "What is he DOING?!" I thought to myself. "Here I am, on the verge of drowning, and all he's doing is grinning at me. What does he know that I don't?"

I discovered the answer mere moments later as my body suddenly started to glow an ivory white... the same shade a Pokémon glows when evolving. My head began to ache, while my legs felt like they were being welded together. I then became nauseous; I thought for sure that I would either throw up or pass out, but didn't know which would be true. Then, as mysteriously as the sensations began, they came to a screeching halt.

"Geez! What was that all about?" I moaned, dazed from my unusual experience.

"Might I suggest finding out for yourself?"

I looked down and quickly found the reason for my legs feeling like they were sewn together: I no longer had any! They had been replaced with the scales and tail fin of a fish! "Wha... what in the world is going on here? What did you do to me, Arky?!"

"What does it look like? I transformed you into a merman so you wouldn't drown... like you could anyway, considering that you're inside my imagination!"

"Why didn't you just pull me up to the surface?"

"Honestly, Jazzy... do you think I would enjoy doing that every few minutes? Besides, I can now hear every word you're saying," Arcanine replied, flashing yet another grin at me.

It was at that moment that I realized just how right Arcanine was. Apparently, trading my legs for a fish's tail had its advantages, such as the fact that I could now breathe and speak underwater. I found it amazing how one little change in appearance could make such a huge difference in a person's lifestyle.

"Catch me if you can!"

Those were the last words I heard before I saw Arky swimming away from me at high speed. "Why, you little..." I began as I started to chase him.

I didn't get much further than around a very unsteady fifty yards. Somehow, I ended up banging my head against my tail... HARD! The last thought that traversed through my mind shortly before blacking out was: "OUCH! How does a Vaporeon keep... from doing stuff... like... that...? Ugh!"

* * * * * * * * *

When I finally came to, the first thing that I noticed was that I was resting on the warm shores of a white, sandy beach. As I slowly turned my head to either side, I realized that it stretched on for miles. Rolling green hills met the beach about a quarter of a mile behind me, and they gently sloped upwards; they seemed to touch the sky in certain places.

Upon facing forward again, I was greeted by the sight of my sweat-pant-covered legs, which had somehow reformed. I then looked up and smiled as I witnessed a gorgeous array of fiery colors dancing across the skies, creating images of many Fire-type Pokémon. Included among the menagerie were Flareon, Moltres, Magmar, Ninetales... heck, I even saw the entire Charmander evolutionary line! However, I didn't see a single Growlithe or Arcanine in the mix, which made me disappointed to a certain extent.

"So... what do you think?"

I looked down once more and was pleasantly greeted by the sight of my Arcanine. He was stretched out perpendicular to me on the sand, while his head made itself comfortable upon my chest. I didn't even notice that he had arrived until after I heard his voice. "You wanna know what I think, eh?"

"Yes, I do."

"Well, to tell you the truth," I began, scratching Arcanine behind his ears, "I really wish you had stayed with me while I was getting used to being a merman."

"I realize that now, and I'm sorry I didn't," Arcanine stated, lifting his head up a bit. "Can you forgive me?"

"Of course, Arky. I never could stay upset with you for very long."

A smile appeared on my fiery pet's muzzle as he slowly placed his head back down upon my chest. As he continued to lie there, I couldn't help watching his own chest rise and fall in time with his breathing. "He does even the simplest things so gracefully, yet I never had the time to really notice it until now," I thought to myself. "His stripes make him look like a tiger, and the fur on his ankles look like wings whenever he runs; it's almost as if he's really flying. Then there's his mane... I've buried my fingers in it hundreds of times, yet I still can't get over the fact that it feels like silk! His paws are the softest velvet money can buy, and his eyes are as black as the midnight skies."

I closed my eyes as I continued thinking. "But looks aren't everything. Personality is also important, and Arcanine's can't be beat! He's smart, funny, playful, obedient, helpful, strong... the list goes on and on, but he's fiercely loyal to me, and I know he would sacrifice himself in a heartbeat to protect me... just like I would for him."

It was then that I nodded my head, opening my eyes again, as the obvious made itself known. "Yes... Arcanine is, without a doubt, the perfect Pokémon. No other comes even close to him!"

At that moment, Arcanine shifted his position. As a result, his head was no longer on my chest, but on my neck. His cold, wet nose made me shiver as it made contact underneath my chin, but was quickly replaced by his warm breath as it escaped his body. "Mmmmmmmm... that feels nice. Why haven't you ever done this before?" I sighed.

"Simple: you never asked."

"Oh...."

"That reminds me; you never did answer my question."

"What question was that, Arky? I forgot."

"...Why do you get so upset whenever I get hurt, even if it's a minor injury?"

It was at that moment that I snapped back into reality....


Chapter 3: A Forbidden Secret...

Time: 10:14 P.M.

"Welcome back to the real world."

I blushed a bit, hearing my Arcanine say that. "It's nice to be back," I chuckled. "So how long was I gone, anyway?"

"You spaced out there for nearly ten minutes, Jazzy. The fact that you even did space out surprises me, though. You've never done that before."

"Well, as the old saying goes: 'There's a first time for everything.' I guess I just found myself lost deep in thought."

"What were you thinking about, if I may ask?"

At that point, my eyes, which had been turned away from Arcanine's muzzle, found themselves staring into his once more. Even I could sense the fear in my voice as I spoke my next sentence. "I... was thinking about... you, Arcanine."

Now it was his turn to blush. "M-me? I-- I must say, I'm flattered. But... why me?"

I drew in a deep breath, then sighed before replying. "Arky, I have a confession I need to make, but I'm afraid that if I do... you'll wind up hating me... and ultimately leaving me."

"Let's worry about crossing the bridge when... and if... we get to it. Now, what is it you need to tell me?"

Another sigh, silent this time, escaped me. "It started when I was only six years old. My father and I were attending the championship round of the Pokémon League competition, just two people in a stadium of thousands. The battle that was taking place was incredibly fierce, and both trainers were down to their last Pokémon, both of the ones before them having been knocked out at the same time. I can't remember what Pokémon the first trainer brought out, but I clearly recall which one the other trainer chose; it was an Arcanine, looking very much like yourself."

My tiger-striped canine nodded. "Go on."

"Well, from the moment I saw it form, I knew that I wanted one of my own, especially after it triumphed over its foe. I begged my father to buy me one right away, but he told me that he didn't think I was ready for a Pokémon... particularly one as big as an Arcanine."

I found myself lying down on my back at this point, my hands behind my head. "For five long years, I did everything my young mind could think of to prove that I was capable of taking care of my own Pokémon... even volunteering at the Pokémon Center for a few hours each day after school. My persistence finally paid off when, on my eleventh birthday, I received a sapphire-blue Poké Ball. Upon opening it, I was greeted to the sight of a gorgeous, purebred Growlithe... you."

"Awww... that's so sweet of you to say."

I could feel my face turning red at my fiery pet's comment. "Yeah, it was the best day of my life," I started to say, "but also the worst."

"Oh, that's right," Arcanine whimpered. "It was also the day... that you lost your family to a drunk driver... wasn't it?"

I nodded, looking up into the starlit skies. "Five years ago today, my loyal friend. I wonder if the police ever caught the creep...."

"I don't know, Jazzy. I honestly don't know," Arcanine replied.

"I know you don't... but this is one of the two reasons I get so upset whenever I see you hurt: it brings back those painful memories."

Arky nodded, then looked at me quizzically. "One of the two? What's the other reason?"

"Oh, shoot!" I thought to myself. "I opened my big mouth yet again!"

"Jazzy?"

"Yes?"

"What's the other reason, or should I ask?"

I swallowed a large lump that had formed in my throat. "I'm willing to tell you, Arcanine, but only if you promise not to tell anyone else. Promise?"

"You have my word, my friend."

I smiled warmly. "Do you remember that day, a couple of years back, when I let you decide whether you wanted to evolve or not?" I questioned, gently scritching Arcanine behind the ears.

"I do indeed. It was also the day nearly everyone in Celadon City, yourself included, received quite a shock; I found out I could speak the human language."

"Isn't that the truth? I thought I was going to faint, hearing you utter that phrase: 'Whoa... what a wild ride that was!'"

Arky laughed at that. "Yeah; the look on your face was priceless!"

I couldn't help but laugh along. It was memories like that I wanted to remember; not the ones like when my family perished, or when I tried to end it all, only to not go through with it thanks to Growlithe. If he hadn't bit me... if he hadn't shown that he cared for me... if he hadn't told me with his eyes that he would always be a loyal friend to me... I probably wouldn't be here tonight, sharing these memories.

But what I was about to tell Arcanine would no doubt put his loyalty to the test. "Arky, my friend... ever since you evolved, I've admired your courage, your grace, and your devotion toward me, even moreso than when you were a Growlithe. However..."

Now it was his turn to let out an audible gulp. "What is it? Did I do something wrong?"

"You've done nothing wrong, my fiery canine. However, I have to confess something to you. Around six months ago, I started having these... strange feelings toward you."

"What do you mean by 'strange,' Jazzy?"

"Well," I began in a soft voice, "lately... I've felt as if I'm becoming stronger. When you're battling alongside me, I feel as if I'm invincible. As I watch you fight, I'm mesmerized by the grace and beauty behind your moves. It's almost as if you're trying to make each and every last one of them special. When you win, and I hug you, I feel an unusual type of warmth surrounding me. That warmth makes me want to hold you even closer. If I've had a rough day, you're always right there next to me, comforting me. It means so much, knowing that you care for me like you do."

I could feel tears welling up in my eyes at that moment, and I did my best to hold them back as I continued. "But these past six months have been especially rough on me. I've been fighting these feelings that have recently threatened to rip me apart from the inside... feelings that, in my mind, seem to be so wrong, but seem so right in my heart. It's making me wonder if I really am as ruthless as I claim to be... or if my aggression is just an act to hide something deeper within me."

"I... I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you're saying, Jazzy," Arcanine stated, blinking at me a few times.

"Then... maybe it would be better... if... I showed you...."

I sat up a bit until I was on my knees, now face-to-face with my pet. Slowly, I wrapped an arm around his neck, while my other hand combed through his mane until my hand was holding onto the underside of his muzzle. Upon looking into Arcanine's eyes, I closed my own and leaned forward until, after what seemed like an eternity, my lips met his own in a soft, warm kiss.

It didn't last long, as I suddenly felt him pull away from me. I opened my eyes again and noticed the shocked expression on his face, my own becoming one of deep shame. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't have done that. I'll bet you hate me now...." The tears I had tried so hard to hold back let loose, flowing down my cheek.

"No, Jazzy," Arcanine began. "I don't hate you; if anything, I'm rather surprised that you... kissed me. What confuses me is... why did you do it?"

My answer was surprisingly blunt, considering the emotional state I was in. "Because... I've fallen in love with you, Arcanine."

An astonished gasp escaped my tiger-striped friend's muzzle, which was followed by a few moments of silence before he spoke. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I... I was scared; scared as to how you might react; scared that you wouldn't feel the same way; scared that you would hate me; scared... that you would leave me."

I could hear a soft whimper before I felt Arcanine nuzzling my face. "Jazzy... no matter what happens in your life, be they good moments or bad ones... I want you to know that I will never abandon you. I know you're telling me the truth when you say you've fallen in love with me; I can see it in your eyes. I can also sense the fear you have about others possibly finding out, and for good reason. Not many people are fine about two people of the same gender being in love with each other, let alone two of different species. But remember, my friend... no matter what kind of feelings you have for me, I refuse to leave your side. I swear on this with my very life."

"Thank you, Arcanine. That means the world to me," I replied as I caressed his muzzle.

"You're welcome."

A few, brief moments of silence followed before Arky spoke to me again. "Jazzy, I'm... really grateful that... you admitted your true feelings toward me. In a way, by doing that... you've given me the courage to speak up."

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"Well," Arcanine started, blushing deeply, "just as you have with me... I've fallen in love with you. To be honestly truthful, you're more beautiful, in both body and spirit, than anything else I've seen-- or ever will see-- in my life."

"Arcanine..."

"I mean it, Jazzy. I really do. Just as I have always been here for you, you have always been here for me. Even though it may not have always been in body," he stated as he placed a paw on my heart, "it has always been here, in spirit... and right now, my spirit has one very important question to ask you."

"What would that be, Arky?"

"Jazzy, I truly love you with all of my heart. Can you... no, will you... find room in your own heart... to accept me as your mate?"

I smiled, a tear of joy running down my face. "For you, my heart has infinite room, and it always will. I love you, Arcanine. I would be honored to be your mate."

"Thank you, Jazzy...."

I shook my head slowly. "No... don't call me Jazzy. From this day forward, whenever we're alone like this... I want you to call me by my real name."

"What name would that be? I always thought Jazzy WAS your name."

I grinned a bit, caressing Arcanine's muzzle again. "No, it's just a nickname. As for my real name, I'll give you a hint: I was named after the biblical hero who slew the giant known as Goliath."

A smile formed on my newly found mate's face. "David... it's a name that suits you perfectly, considering how many of life's giant challenges you've overcome yourself. It's a beautiful name for such an equally beautiful person. I love it... just as much as I love you."

Hearing Arcanine say that was, without a doubt, one of the happiest moments of my life. I wrapped my arms around his neck, holding him close, and was pleasantly surprised when he did the same to me with his front legs, his large paws gently rubbing my back. At that moment, I leaned up and gave him a deep, loving kiss... one that he returned just as lovingly.

It was during that kiss that our lives changed forever....


Chapter 4:...Leads to the Deepest Love

Time: 10:25 P.M.

As our kiss continued, I found my love for my new mate grow by the second, my affection for Arcanine causing me to gently caress every inch of his body that my hands could reach. This, in turn, caused him to open his muzzle a bit, allowing me to deepen the kiss by slowly placing what I could of my tongue into his maw. To my surprise, he emitted a gentle growl when I did that, which in turn made me moan in pleasure as our tongues danced with each other.

For how long this sensual moment lasted, neither of us could say; we both remember panting lightly when we reluctantly had to break the kiss, smiling warmly at each other. "Oh, Arcanine... that felt so wonderful," I sighed.

"Mmmmmmm... I know, David. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before. I could actually feel the love that went into that kiss; you're very good at that, I must say."

I chuckled at that. "Well, I have kissed several females before, including Jessica... but none of them had anywhere near the amount of affection that the one I just shared with you does."

"You were saving it for someone special... and it turned out to be me, right?"

I nodded. "I never expected it to be you, I must admit. But now, there's no denying it. I love you so much, Arky, and I would do anything to make you happy."

"Anything, eh? Well, here's a start, love: unless it's absolutely necessary, I never want to go back inside my Poké Ball. I want to always be by your side, no matter what."

"Your wish is my command, hon. Anything else?"

"Not really, David. Just knowing how much you care for me is enough," my mate replied. "What about you? Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Well... there is... one thing that would make me truly happy."

"What is it?" Arcanine queried. "Just name it, and it's yours."

I took in a deep breath, clearing my mind of all other thoughts. What I was about to say would require both my brain and heart; my brain to come up with the words, and my heart to guide them to Arky's ears. "Arcanine... I'll understand completely if you say no, but what I am about to ask you, I do so not only as your lover, but also as your friend, in the deepest sense of the word." I then gulped, knowing that there was no going back now. "Will you make love to me, hon?"

Arky blinked a few times, a serious expression crossing his face. "David, are you sure you want to do this? What you've just asked me to do is considered one of the most sacred acts among man or beast; it represents the greatest symbol of the love shared by two living creatures. I ask again: are you positive that you want to go through with it?"

"Yes, my love. I'm sure; in fact, I've never been surer about anything in my entire life. I want to become one with you... in the most intimate and loving way possible."

"Then, if this is what you truly desire... it would be my greatest honor and privilege to bestow the gift of my love upon you."

I completely broke down at this point, tears flowing down my face as I hugged Arky closer than ever before. "Oh, Arcanine... I love you so much. Thank you... thank you for allowing me to share this special moment with you."

While I was hugging my fiery mate, I could feel his tongue licking my neck. I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel good, but it was also getting the collar of my shirt quite wet. "Hold on a minute, hon," I said as I moved back a bit.

(I suppose that now would be a good time to describe myself. I'm rather short for my age, reaching only five feet, seven inches in height. My body is finely toned, but I don't like to work out that much, so I don't have any visible muscle. Chocolate-brown hair graces my forehead, accented by eyes of the same color. My skin has a very fine tan to it, and thus, is a very light brown color... almost a sepia. I'll admit, I'm quite the looker, but I really don't think all that much of it. I just want to keep myself the way I am now; no fancy gimmicks attached.)

Arcanine tilted his head as I stood up and slowly removed my shirt. I then reached down and proceeded to do the same to my boots, socks, and ultimately my sweats, dropping them to the ground before stepping out of them. "Um, David? What are you doing?" he asked.

"Well," I began as I waked back, now clad in only a pair of boxers, "when a couple prepares to mate with each other, they usually take off their clothes so that they can not only see, but also feel, their partner's body. Being able to do so also enables them to give each other pleasure, depending on where they touch."

"...That sounds a little silly, removing your clothes just to touch each other. Can't they do that with their clothes on?"

"They could, but the sensations would be greatly dulled compared to if they were able to feel their partner's skin. Besides, removing one's clothing is no worse than an Arbok shedding its skin. There's no pain involved in either case."

"Oh. Well then-- what's pleasure?"

The innocence that I felt within Arcanine's voice was enough to make my heart melt. "That... is a question better answered with actions rather than with words," I replied as I began rubbing behind his ears. I smiled as I saw him begin to wag his tail, and then decided to take it a step further by caressing his muzzle with my free hand. At that same moment, I leaned in and kissed the tip of his cold, wet nose, followed by sliding my tongue across the bridge of his muzzle. It was then that he let out what sounded like a warning growl, but didn't have the same tone as one. Not wanting to take a chance, I gently pulled back a bit, placing my hands back at my side.

Arky seemed to notice this, for he looked up at me curiously. "David... why did you stop? That was starting to feel really good."

My smile became a bit wider upon hearing that. "That's what pleasure is supposed to feel like; the more sensitive the area that is touched, the more intense the sensations are. As to why I stopped, I did so because you growled at me. I... thought I did something that I shouldn't have."

"That's not true. You've done nothing of the sort, David."

"Then why did you growl?"

"Well, to tell the truth, that wasn't an ordinary growl. It's... actually a special type of growl known as a murr, and canines like myself tend to do this whenever something makes us feel good, such as having our belly rubbed or being scratched behind the ears."

"Oh... I never knew that."

"What about you? What in particular makes you feel good?" Arcanine questioned as he nuzzled my face.

"Well, I won't say exactly, but I will tell you that you're off to a good start," I stated, sitting down.

Arcanine smiled and laid down in front of me. As he leaned in to nuzzle me again, I felt his mane brush against my groin, causing me to shudder. "Ohhhh...." I then heard a whine as I felt him suddenly pull away. Looking at him, I saw his ears flatten as he looked down sadly. "What's wrong?" I questioned.

"I'm sorry. If I knew that was going to hurt you, I'd..."

"Hurt me? What made you think that?"

"Well, you only seem to make that sound whenever you're in pain. I didn't mean to hurt you, I swear."

I chuckled to myself; Arcanine's innocence was winning me over more by the second. "Arky," I started as I combed my fingers through his mane, "while it's true that people make that sound when they're hurt, there are times that they emit it, even when not in pain. That particular moan I just made was one of pleasure."

"Is it like my murring, then?"

"Oh, yes, it is very much so. You see, your mane had just rubbed against my most sensitive area... even though it's still hidden underneath my boxers." I then took one of Arcanine's paws and brought it up to my hips, hooking the dewclaw under the waistband. I lifted myself up a bit, then brought the paw down, sliding my boxers off and placing them to the side. Now fully nude, I stood up, looking at him. "What do you think?"

"D-D... David... you look... absolutely _ BEAUTIFUL! _"

I placed my hand on my mate's muzzle. "I'm nowhere near as beautiful as you are though, my dear Arcanine."

Arky let out a playful bark, only to quickly close his maw. "I'm sorry...."

"Don't be sorry; after all, we're here on the Seafoam Islands, far away from any city. No one is going to hear us."

"I'm glad to hear you say that. I love you so much; I want to howl my love for you clear to the moon."

"Oh, really? Be careful, then; a howl like that would more than likely bring everybody from both Cinnibar and Fuchsia scrambling here," I quipped, chuckling.

Those chuckles quickly turned into a startled yelp as I suddenly found myself being pounced upon by my Arcanine... and believe me, when a Pokémon that weighs over 300 pounds pounces and pins you, you aren't going anywhere anytime soon! "Now what was that for?" I asked as calmly as I could.

"Oh, no reason. I just felt like pouncing you. Besides, you're just too cute to resist pouncing!"

I smiled again. "Just like you're too beautiful to resist doing this." At that moment, I brought my head up and gave my mate another deep kiss, moaning lightly as he lay down on top of me. That moan became louder when I felt his fur rub against my groin, my penis being stimulated as a result and slowly becoming erect. "Oohhhh, Arcanine... that feels so nice," I stated upon breaking the kiss.

"I hope it won't be the only thing that will feel nice. So now I ask you: how would you like to do this?"

Blinking, I looked up at Arcanine. I could feel myself blushing in pure embarrassment as the question sank in. "I-- I don't know, Arky; I've never done this before. I also don't know how two males do it... only what happens between a man and woman. Do you have an idea?"

Now it was his turn to blush. "Well, I'll admit, I do have one. It's kinda embarrassing how I came across it, though."

"Oh, really? How did this happen, if I may ask?"

"Um, well... you see, one night, shortly before I became your pet, I couldn't fall asleep for some reason. So I sneaked out of the house I was nurtured in and went for a walk in the forest that was behind the backyard. After about an hour of strolling, I decided to head back, only to hear what sounded like a playful, but quiet, bark."

"You mean something similar to what you did a few minutes ago, minus the quiet part, right?" I asked, smirking.

"Oh, whatever! Anyway, I grew curious as to where the noise was coming from, so I quietly made my way toward the source. What I saw when I got there, however, made me instantly blush.... Two Arcanines were mating, right in front of me, as I watched from behind a large bush. But both of them were male, and the one on top... was inserting his penis into the other one's rump, right underneath his tail!"

I had to admit, I was rather stunned at this revelation. "You mean to tell me that the one screwed the other up the _ ASS?! _"

"Yeah, he did. Is that what you wish for me to do to you?"

I gulped, looking at how large my Arcanine was. Even though I had never seen wild Pokémon mate, I knew that the size of the male's penis was proportionate to the species; in Arky's case, that meant that he had to be quite large. I also knew of how canines have knots that tie them to whom they're mating with, and that they can swell up to be enormous. At this point, only one question made itself known. "Will it fit?"

"David, I won't lie to you. The one who was taking it at first looked as if he was in a lot of pain. But as time passed, he seemed to relax a bit more, and it looked like he was really enjoying himself... especially when the other one tied to him. Geez, the barks, whines, and howls they

bellowed out still ring my ears to this day."

"You were that close to the action, eh?" I joked, laughing.

"Oh, be quiet, you crazy boy!"

"Why don't you make me?"

That challenge was met by a very rough, yet equally passionate, kiss right on my lips. How long Arky held it, I can't remember, but I did know, with the way his sheath had swollen, that he was getting very aroused by the act. When he finally broke the kiss, he stood up, his head still very close to my face, his voice whispering huskily, seductively, into my ear.

"Just relax... and leave everything to me, handsome...."

His instincts were kicking in; it was only a matter of time before this became...


Chapter 5: A Night Never to be Forgotten

Time: 10:38 P.M.

"All right, Arcanine. I'm putting all my trust in you. What do you wish for me to do?" I asked as my lover got up off of me.

"Well, first off, I need you to get on your knees."

I complied with his wishes, shifting my position to that of a kneel, sitting on my lower legs. My maleness was quite hard at this moment, and it jutted out like a miniature pylon. It only became harder when Arcanine walked in front of me, then slowly turned to the side, positioning himself so that I could see his large sheath and balls. The former was quite swollen, obviously from all the excitement he had welled up in him. As I stared in amazement, I heard him speak again. "I think I need a bit of help. Do you think you could get me ready, hon?"

Without as much as a word in response, I stared at my mate's groin for another few seconds before my body started to move on its own. My arm reached up ever so slowly, almost being hesitant as I regained my senses. It must have taken me at least two minutes before I finally got close enough to grasp his sheath, gasping as I felt how swollen it was. My Arcanine felt _ HUGE _ already! "Mmmmm, David... yes... just like that."

"So what do I do now?"

"Please... stroke me. Move your hand along... my sheath... back and forth."

I nodded and slowly began to stroke his furry covering, which got a soft panting from Arky started. As I continued to caress his most intimate regions, he slowly moved in closer, eventually shifting his position to one where I had better access to it. It was at that moment that I saw the fruits of my efforts, as the tip of his maleness began to peek out.

Arcanine's tail was wagging furiously, the fluff of fur occasionally batting me in the side of the face. I could swear that I heard him croon as I kept my slow pace up, letting me know I was doing very well in pleasuring him. That turned into a deep moan as I then reached up with my other hand and slowly began to fondle his balls, just now realizing how large he truly was.

I don't know how long I had been doing this until Arky began to slowly thrust into my hand, whimpering and moaning in bliss as I did my best to synchronize my movements to his own. His cock was sliding out of his sheath more and more, about a quarter of it now showing. It was there that I found myself thinking: "I wonder how he tastes." I decided to find out and slowly moved my head up, finding my air seeming to be filled with a musty scent the closer I got. It made me tingle with excitement, and I found myself soon with my mouth around the tip of Arcanine's meat, licking and suckling on it slowly.

It was at that moment that Arcanine let out a loud gasp. Apparently, I must have done something right, as he started to pump into my mouth, growling. "Oh, David... your mouth-- it's so WARM!"

I smiled at that, letting out a soft moan of my own and making Arky's cock vibrate slightly in my mouth. This earned me a soft bark as he surged his hips forward a bit, sliding at least half of his length into my mouth, before he held himself still. "Please... don't stop, David. Keep-- sucking on it; it feels so good!"

I nodded and continued to nurse on his maleness, grunting a bit as I shifted my position so that it was more comfortable. I then began to bob my head along his length, pulling away so just the tip was touching my lips, before I slid back down upon it. Arcanine let out a visible shudder at this, a deep murr escaping his own lips as his panting grew heavier. "D-- David... wait."

I stopped what I was doing as Arcanine pulled away from me, his cock fully showing now, save for his knot. My own maleness had grown quite hard, and apparently, Arcanine noticed this, as he laid down on his side, his muzzle at my groin. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do this, hon...." Those were his final words before he leaned in and took my entire length into his muzzle.

Now it was my turn to gasp, moaning deeply as my fiery lover began to mimic the motions I had just been doing to him. Grabbing the back of his head with my hand, I scritched him behind the ears, thrusting my hips and encouraging him gently. "Gods, Arcanine! That feels... so amazing!" I stated in a deep voice.

"Then... let me feel... what you're feeling... again...."

I nodded, knowing what he meant by that, and slowly lowered myself down until my head was back at his groin, once again taking his own maleness into my mouth. I couldn't believe that I was having a sixty-nine with my Pokémon, but it was truly happening... and I was loving it! It felt so good that I lowered my head even more, trying to take as much of Arcanine's cock into my mouth. Apparently, I tried too hard, because I heard a soft yelp as one of my teeth grazed across his length, followed by him removing his own muzzle from my groin. I knew I had done something wrong, and I carefully pulled off, turning to face him. "Are you all right?" I asked, nervous.

"Yeah... I'm fine. But that tooth didn't feel so good on my cock," came the reply.

"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to do that."

"It's all right, David. It IS your first time, after all," he stated, nuzzling my face. "But now, I need you to get on all fours for me. I have one final task to do before I mount you, and I want to make sure you're ready."

Nodding, I repositioned myself so that I was now on my hands and knees, my rump jutting slightly in the air as I spread my legs apart. "How's this?"

"Mmmmm... perfect, lover," he replied as he positioned himself behind me. Sniffing at my rear for several moments, he nodded and slowly drew his tongue out, licking across the pucker of flesh there.

I could swear I saw fireworks going off right in front of me at that moment; the sensations of that soft tongue across my hole making me grab the sandy earth below me as I let out a moan of rapture. Those moans only intensified the longer he kept at it, making my hard cock throb and begin to leak pre-cum from the tip. Then I felt something slide into my hole, and I thought I was going to explode right then and there, as his flexible muscle worked its way inside of me, slowly opening me, until he worked his way up to the point where he was lapping at a spot that caused me to hiss in extreme pleasure. I didn't know how much more I could take, and was just about to tell Arcanine this before he pulled his tongue out, a chuckle escaping him.

"It's time; you're ready; but, David, I'm giving you one last chance to back out. Once I mount you, I won't be able to stop until I fill you with my seed. Do you truly wish for me to mate with you?"

"Yes."

"Very well, then."

With those words, I could feel Arcanine's weight on top of me as he proceeded to mount me. His chest felt heavy on my back, but I didn't care. All I cared about at the moment was becoming one with him, and I wasn't going to turn back now. His front paws wrapped themselves around my waist, holding me firmly in place, as he proceeded to thrust his hips forward.

I then heard a growl of frustration coming from Arcanine, as I realized that he was having problems finding my pucker. Chuckling to myself, I slowly reached back and took a hold of his meat, whispering to him. "Let me help you with that." I then guided it up and put the tip against my hole after a bit of a problem with getting it up there myself.

No sooner had I done that than Arcanine surged forward, his hips thrusting hard and slamming a good two inches of his thick meat inside of me. I let out a painful screech, not having expected to have so much pushed inside of me so fast. I clenched my eyes shut as I put my hand back on the ground, tears of pain escaping and dripping down my face. Arky must have sensed this, for he stopped immediately and lowered his head to my own, licking the tears up. "I told you this would hurt, hon. You need to relax... that's the only way it's going to feel better. I'll go slow right now and let you get used to it... just let me know when you're ready to move on, all right?"

I nodded, the pain still searing my ass as I felt what he had inside of me throb slightly. "I-- I need something... soft... to hold onto." I whimpered.

My lover complied, placing his front paws on both sides of my face, which also seemed to lessen the weight being placed upon me. I quickly grabbed one and held on tight to it, my fingers interlacing between his toes, as I rested my head upon it, still shaking slightly. After a couple of long minutes, I could feel my body relaxing, as if finally registering the fact that Arky would never deliberately hurt me. I then whispered in a soft voice to his ear. "I'm ready."

"All right... squeeze my paw if it starts to hurt again," my mate advised as he began to slowly move his hips forward again. Every so often, I took his advice, squeezing his paw when I began to feel as if I was being torn open by his cock, and him stopping every single time. I would then squeeze it again to let him know that he could continue, and repeated the process as he pushed further and further inside of me. I don't know why, but it felt as if his length would never stop growing; I can't remember how much he had in my rump before I squeezed his paw for the final time, but it felt as if it was a good nine or ten inches. "That's it, hon... it's all in, except for the knot. How do you feel?"

"I feel as if I'm about to be ripped wide open at the moment, but... other than that, I feel so full. It feels magnificent!"

"Mmmm... it's about to get a lot better, David. Brace yourself."

No sooner had that been said than Arcanine slowly started to pull out of me, which left me feeling rather empty. That was soon replaced by a sharp gasp as he thrust into me again, the tip of his canine cock pressing hard against that same spot that his tongue had been licking at several minutes before. "Good gods, Arcanine! I-- I don't know what you're rubbing against... but... ohhhhhhh, GODS! It feels so GOOD!!!" I moaned out.

"That's your prostate gland, love. You really need to read those anatomy books more often," he quipped as he continued to slowly pull out and push back in. "Gods, you're so tight... so, so tight!"

Hearing him say that caused something inside of me to snap, and I tightened my hole around his meat, which only served to make him bark loudly and speed his thrusts up ever so slightly. I moaned deeply as his tip began to ram harder into my prostate, sending waves of absolute pleasure coursing throughout my entire body. "So this is what it feels like to be loved... to become one...it feels so right to me, being like this with Arky," I thought to myself as I rubbed my face into his paw.

As time passed, I could feel Arcanine's instincts starting to kick in, as he began to thrust harder and faster into me, his hips moving like a blur of fur as he mated passionately. I found myself beginning to push back against his movements, causing him to penetrate me deeply, with his cock rubbing more vigorously against my prostate every time he pushed in. My rear clamped tighter around his maleness, each clench making Arcanine let out a bark of ecstasy.

Before long, I felt teeth at my shoulder and looked to see my lover nibbling on it. I couldn't resist, so I leaned my head up and traced my tongue across the edge of his ear, which got a loud whimper of excitement out of him. He was thrusting into me hard now, and I could feel his knot starting to ram against the entrance to my rear. I let out a deep moan as I tried to relax my body as best as I could, whispering softly into Arcanine's ear. "Please, love... I... ohhhhhhhh, gods... I... I want you to tie... with me," I panted in between ragged breaths.

Arky stopped nibbling and placed his head on my shoulder, heavy pants being his only response as he thrust harder, trying to get his knot inside of me. Despite how much I relaxed or how much power he put into his motions, he could not get it inside of me. But I wouldn't give up on him. I started whispering words of encouragement into his ear, telling him how much I loved him, and that I would do anything for him because of it. I told him not to worry about hurting me, because I knew he wouldn't do it deliberately... and that I would endure any pain that came my way for him.

Apparently, those words were enough, as not only did my body relax, but his thrusts became even more powerful, his knot starting to stretch my hole open, readying myself to be tied to him. Each time he pulled out now, it felt as if I was being emptied of something precious, only to be filled once again as he pushed in. Then, with one particularly hard stab to my ass, his knot slipped inside of me, tying him to me!

The pain was almost unbearable at first, but true to my word, I endured, clenching my eyes shut and hissing harshly as the girth of the knot made itself truly known. Grabbing Arky's paws tight, I found myself all but biting into one, unsure if my rump would be able to withstand the huge swell of flesh that was now lodged inside of me.

To my surprise, Arcanine still continued to thrust into me, though his movements were now greatly limited because of him being tied to me. His pants were deep, ragged, almost rugged in his arousal. After several short humps into me, he grunted into my ear. "D... David... I-- I can't... hold back much... longer! Ohhhhhhhhh, gods...David... I'm... I'm going to... c-c-- CUM!!!"

Truth to tell, my arousal was about to hit its peak as well, so I simply whispered back to him. "Do it, Arcanine... cum... cum inside... of me... I'm begging you!"

That was all Arky needed, as with one final thrust, he let out a pure howl of ecstasy, leaning his head high and baying to the moon as he came. I could feel his seed gushing out of his cock and into my body, filling me with the thick, hot ropes of his love. As they splashed against my prostate, I found that I could no longer hold back myself. I screamed in rapture, my own cock throbbing and shooting its seed out onto the ground beneath me. "_ ARRRRRRRRRCANIIIIIINNNNNE!!! _"

Caught up in the throes of my orgasm, I quickly took my hand and lowered Arcanine's muzzle to my face, then locked my lips with his own in a deep, passionate kiss, still practically screaming his name inside of me, but coming out as muffled moans through my mouth. Arcanine kissed me back just as passionately, his eyes closed and his howling turning into deep moans as he slid his tongue inside my mouth and started to wrestle with my own, to which I lustfully reciprocated.

There was no denying it now as we held that position for what seemed like an eternity: Arcanine and I were meant to be together. It wasn't chance that my parents got me a Growlithe for my eleventh birthday; it was fate. They must have somehow known that their time was nearing, and gave me someone who I could love and cherish... and now, here I am, tied to Arcanine, kissing him, my love for him ever growing, ever evolving. It was a feeling I never wanted to lose.

Ten minutes must have passed since we came, and Arcanine was still firmly lodged inside of me. He then started to turn around, but I grabbed his paws and held him in place. "No... I want to feel you on top of me... warming me with your body."

He smiled and nodded, nuzzling my face, as he then laid down on his side, bringing me with him, his hind paws around my legs, while his front paws made for a soft pillow for my head. He then licked my neck, murring deeply. "So... did you enjoy it, hon?"

"Ohhhh, Arcanine," I started in a gentle voice, "I absolutely loved it. It was like nothing I've ever felt before. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome, David. I'm glad you enjoyed it, because... I know I certainly did. I hope... we'll be able to do this again."

"Don't worry, my love. We shall," I replied as I slowly began to close my eyes, tired from the activities we had just been involved in. "But for now, let us sleep. We have another day tomorrow, and I'm sure we'll get through it no matter what is thrown at us... because I have you. As long as this is true, I'll never give up on life again."

"I'll never give up on you either, David. I'll stand by your side until the day I die."

"Thank you, Arcanine."

I then kissed my mate on the nose before I let slumber finally overtake me, but not before I heard one last message from him... one that made me smile the entire time I was asleep.

"Happy birthday, my love."

It was then and there that it became official; we had become one, now and forever... and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

THE END
