| 2 | ||
| 3 | >Just another day of being the “tough bitch” in town | |
| 4 | >Every other fur and feather is so content with living out their assigned roles day after day | |
| 5 | >I didn’t use to be the grump, the sourpuss, the loner | |
| 6 | >But after a few bad days it became my “theme”, and even though I’m so testy in their eyes they act like it’s just a quaint little personality trait of mine | |
| 7 | >Now I can’t get rid of it even if I tried | |
| 8 | >It makes finding a mate around here pretty fucking hard as well | |
| 9 | >The other dogs are slobbering meatheads, and I don’t roll over just because they beg | |
| 10 | >The bears LOOK like they know a good time, but they’re just too soft for someone like me | |
| 11 | >The rabbits aren’t bad, if you’re into sissy little girlyboys | |
| 12 | >Hell, I’d play for the other team if most of the girls weren’t already paired off with their own type | |
| 13 | >So here I am, sulking in the shadows as the rest of the town is getting ready to welcome some new resident | |
| 14 | >”Anon”, he goes by | |
| 15 | >Gee, wonder what kind of walking character trope he’s going to b- | |
| 16 | >Holy shit, is that a human? | |
| 17 | >I thought humans were just some stupid marketing icons | |
| 18 | >Like, something advertisers made up because they’re so “neutral” looking for products | |
| 19 | >And yet here he is, walking around all furless and naive | |
| 20 | >There aren’t many things I need to ask for around here; either nobody stops me from taking something, or they’re such sickeningly sweet neighbors they just hand it over | |
| 21 | >But as this Anon guy is swamped by all the others waiting to greet him, I feel something I haven’t felt in a long time | |
| 22 | >Want | |
| 23 | >I want HIM | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | >He’s visited at his remote little house for hours, well into the evening | |
| 26 | >It’s not easy waiting for all the others to leave him alone, but if I’m going to do this I don’t want to be interrupted | |
| 27 | >I also want to be the last one he thinks about before he goes to sleep | |
| 28 | >Luckily he’s still awake when I rap on his door | |
| 29 | >Dude barely comes up to my chest | |
| 30 | >I make sure he gets a good look at it first | |
| 31 | >Before I can introduce myself, he says my name | |
| 32 | >…How the hell? | |
| 33 | >Apparently all the others around town have been talking shit about me already | |
| 34 | >Needless to say, I’m pretty damn livid right now | |
| 35 | >If those gossiping busybodies already ruined this for me… | |
| 36 | >Anon doesn’t seem to know any better | |
| 37 | >He just heard about me just like any other fur around town, and he probably thinks I won’t bully him if he preemptively tries to be friendly | |
| 38 | >Well, BUDDY… | |
| 39 | >…It actually kind of works | |
| 40 | >I expected him to put up a fight, or show fear, or have him see me with the same stupid whimsy like the rest | |
| 41 | >I didn’t think he’d disarm me with kindness | |
| 42 | >I’m so dumbfounded by it I barely remember being invited into his home | |
| 43 | >Nothing I didn’t expect from a bachelor pad, but it doesn’t look like anyone else in town got as far as me in here yet | |
| 44 | >Now I’m sitting on his couch, and he’s spilling his life story | |
| 45 | >Where he comes from, why he’s here, what he hopes to accomplish… | |
| 46 | >I’m not necessarily tuning him out, but when I hear the word I snap into focus | |
| 47 | >”Friend” | |
| 48 | >He’s looking to make some friends, and I’m damn well going to be his favorite | |
| 49 | >But it’s already getting late, and the poor guy is pretty tired from the trip and from getting bombarded with welcomes all day | |
| 50 | >He asks if I‘d want to come back first thing in the morning to hang out some more | |
| 51 | >Yeah…sure thing | |
| 52 | >I actually find myself heading back to my place pretty briskly | |
| 53 | >Probably a good thing, because everything seems to be getting pretty foggy out all of the sudden | |
| 54 | >I head inside and see that familiar bitch in the mirror | |
| 55 | >Then I get a good look at my face, and my eyes, and I see why everything was so misty on the way back | |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | >I’m at his door before he’s even fully awake | |
| 58 | >Son of a bitch, tail. Stay still! | |
| 59 | >He doesn’t look bothered by my early arrival | |
| 60 | >Actually looks pretty excited to see me | |
| 61 | >I really hope I didn’t mess up and get stuck with some perpetually merry little ditz | |
| 62 | >He had the whole town come to him yesterday, so now he wants to see the rest of it for himself | |
| 63 | >Fine, whatever | |
| 64 | >I’m easily the best guide he’s going to get anyway, seeing as how I know all the paths and back alleys from avoiding those grinning dimwits every day | |
| 65 | >We go to the shops, the restaurants, the meeting places | |
| 66 | >He’s keen on mingling with the community, which is something I can’t say I’ve wanted much from these people | |
| 67 | >It’s kind of endearing for him, I guess | |
| 68 | >He’s a lot more personable than I am, and maybe I can actually stand to be around this place with him at my side | |
| 69 | >Just wish he’d hurry up so we can be alone together again | |
| 70 | >…Man, I’m terrible | |
| 71 | >I feel like a spoiled pup wanting him all for myself, and all he wants is just to belong here | |
| 72 | >He’s made more progress getting through to these people already then I ever could in years | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | >He’s had a pretty long day, and by the evening he’s ready to settle in | |
| 75 | >I would have thought he’d be sick of me tagging along, but he’s full of surprises | |
| 76 | >Anon seriously wants me back into his home for a little while | |
| 77 | >Alright, a second chance | |
| 78 | >Don’t fuck this up! | |
| 79 | >He’s hospitable enough, though he seems just as nervous to be here as I am | |
| 80 | >I mean, not that I’m nervous around him | |
| 81 | >How did I even get to the couch again!? | |
| 82 | >We’re just chilling together, but this time it’s me who’s acting like an open book | |
| 83 | >I tell him about my part in the town’s little ecosystem | |
| 84 | >How I’m seen as the designated grouch | |
| 85 | >How I’m probably invited to all the gatherings out of obligation instead of genuine companionship | |
| 86 | >How I'm so fucking lonely every single day… | |
| 87 | >There it is, girl. You’ve said too much to this guy you barely know | |
| 88 | >I’m sure it would feel good to finally get this all off my chest if I weren’t spending all my energy to not break down in front of him | |
| 89 | >My throat burns too much from holding it all in to say anything | |
| 90 | >And he’s just sitting there staring at me with pity | |
| 91 | >Do something! | |
| 92 | >And he does; just gets right to the point and pulls me in for a hug | |
| 93 | >Even though I dwarf the guy, I feel so small in his arms | |
| 94 | >I love how smooth he is, and how it feels to have his fingers comb through my fur | |
| 95 | >I dreaded this was going to be my breaking point, but everything about his company puts me at ease | |
| 96 | >I don’t need some kind of easy lay or piece of meat to make me happy here | |
| 97 | >I’d be fine just like this for as long as I can | |
| 98 | >He practically knows my whole history by this point, but he has none of the judgment or resentment I have for myself | |
| 99 | >I don't deserve a guy like this | |
| 100 | >But even when I try to pull away he just keeps holding on, sapping my resolve until I’m all but curled up into his chest | |
| 101 | >He’s got the magic touch, this one | |
| 102 | >Goddammit tail, we’re having a moment! | |
| 103 | ||
| 104 | >Boy have I gotten to be a smug bitch | |
| 105 | >Anon and I go pretty much everywhere together | |
| 106 | >He’s got to be some kind of oddity, tolerating a dog like me | |
| 107 | >Not just tolerating, but borderline infatuated | |
| 108 | >I don’t plan on being modest about my good fortune, either | |
| 109 | >All the other furs and feathers around town are shocked by the two of us being a pair | |
| 110 | >Not to mention being blown away seeing me not be such a downer anymore | |
| 111 | >Plus, I’m not the only one who changed a bit | |
| 112 | >I managed to make a dent in their cheery little facades, showing hints of jealousy in their goofy eyes | |
| 113 | >I absolutely relish it | |
| 114 | >But Anon’s too cool a guy for that kind of pettiness, and I feel lucky to have him as my better half | |
| 115 | >He’s barely been here for long and he already made me the happiest girl out there | |
| 116 | >Now, this town doesn’t seem so bad | |
| 117 | >It helps that it feels like I have a fresh start here | |
| 118 | >A new lease on life | |
| 119 | >And I want Anon to be in it forever |
