I leisurely awoke, no alarm rudely jarring me from my sleep since it was Saturday. I laid still in Draggo’s arms as he held me gently against him. His warm breath tickled the back of my neck, his tail was coiled loosely around my leg. I couldn’t believe a week had already gone by since he had first arrived, time had flown by. I brought my hand back and ran it down his scaly thigh. Sensing I was awake, Draggo began gently rubbing my chest, and nuzzled my neck.

“Good morning Brian, I hope you slept well” Draggo said quietly.

“Good morning Draggo, I’ve never slept better thanks to you!” I replied with a smile. I turned my head, and Draggo brought his lips to mine. We kissed briefly, his long tongue slid into my mouth for the briefest moment before withdrawing. I turned my head away and sighed contentedly. I slid my hand from his thigh and in between our bodies, my fingers traced along his genital slit. After rubbing my fingers along it a few times, I dipped the tips inside, exploring its slick interior. Draggo sighed with pleasure, and I felt the tip of his prehensile cock curl around my exploring fingers. After a moment of fondling it, I withdrew my fingers, and quickly slid my boxers down, Draggo unwound his tail from my leg so I could kick them off. Once they were gone, his tail curled back around my leg, giving it a firm squeeze. My hand returned to his groin, where his cock had begun to emerge from its slit. I ran my fingers over it again, and it slickly wormed its way into my hand. I gave it a few more strokes, and guided it between my asscheeks. Draggo gave my cheek a lick, as the slim tip of his cock began to slide into me. I moved my hand to grip Draggo’s hand on my chest as his cock continued to slither into me. Each time we had had sex this week, Draggo went a little deeper, stretching me out a little more so I could eventually make use of his other genital attachments. When fully extended, his prehensile cock was almost 10 inches long. Despite its impressive length, it was only about 2 inches wide at its base. I didn’t know how much he currently had in me, but I was starting to feel stretched, and my cock had grown painfully hard. The slender tip of his cock writhed inside of me, rubbing against my inner walls as Draggo began to thrust gently. My breathing grew heavier, Draggo’s hand slid from beneath mine and down to encircle my cock, gently rubbing and squeezing it. I gasped when I felt his cock twist back on itself inside of me, then zero right in on my prostate and begin to massage it relentlessly. I didn’t stand a chance, and I groaned loudly as my load spilled into his hand. Draggo grunted, and with one firm final thrust, I felt the warmth of his semen filling me. I exhaled shakily as my cock finally stopped twitching in Draggo’s hand. He began to slowly slide his cock out of me, it felt never ending. I clenched tightly as it slid free, doing my best to keep any of Draggo’s semen from spilling out, and saving us the trouble of having to wash the sheets. As usual, Draggo had managed to catch my semen, and pulled his hand back to his mouth, then used his long black tongue to lick it clean. He then leaned over my side and briefly took my cock into his mouth, his tongue winding around it and squeezing as he cleaned my semen from it. Satisfied it was clean, he let it slip from his mouth, and settled back in behind me, hugging me tightly to his chest.

”If there’s a better way to start the weekend, I don’t know what it is” I said with a laugh.

“I enjoyed it very much too Brian” Draggo said, sighing with satisfaction. “In case you were curious, I nearly had the entirety of my length inside of you. At this rate, you will be ready to try out my draconic attachment in no time” Draggo told me as he gently stroked my chest.

“I’m looking forward to it!” I said eagerly. I rolled over in his arms, snuggling into his chest. He brought his head down to mine and we leaned our foreheads together. Draggo gently stroked my side, and we laid that way for a while, just enjoying the feel of each other’s bodies.

“As much as I love this, I suppose we can’t spend the whole day in bed” I said with a resigned sigh.

“We could if you like, but I suppose you are right” Draggo agreed, bringing his hand up to gently stroke my cheek. I grinned, and gave him a quick kiss, then rolled over to climb out of bed. I looked back at the sheets when I got up and was pleased to see we had managed to not make a mess. We headed into the bathroom and showered together, which was quickly becoming a very enjoyable routine. Afterwards we got dressed and headed into the kitchen. As usual, Draggo prepared me an amazing breakfast.

“What do you have planned for today Draggo?” I asked as I ate.

“Oh, I suppose check on and water the garden. I’m already starting to see some shoots coming up, it’s very exciting! The lawn should probably be mowed as well” Draggo told me as he did the dishes. “Then I will probably do some reading, then join you to watch TV or play video games. Oh! Also my clothing should be coming in the mail today. I look forward to showing you what I got” Draggo said eagerly.

“I can’t wait to see!” I said with a smile. “I’m going to have to run into town to do some grocery shopping today at some point. Maybe you would like to come? You can show off your fancy new clothes” I offered. Draggo paused to consider.

“Perhaps, let me think about it” Draggo said, not sounding particularly enthusiastic at the prospect. I hoped Draggo would come with me. I felt it would be fun for him to get out of the house, but I wouldn’t try to force him if he didn’t want to. He seemed self conscious about the prospect of drawing attention, and well seeing companions in public was uncommon, it wasn’t exactly unusual. I wouldn’t make him do anything he wasn’t comfortable with though.

“Well I hope you will, I would love the company” I said. I could have told him it would make me happy, and Draggo would have immediately agreed, but I wanted it to be his choice. Draggo finished loading the dishwasher and headed outside. Shortly after, I finished my breakfast and washed my plate, then placed it in the dishwasher. The first few days here, Draggo would wait for me to finish breakfast before heading outside, but I finally convinced him that it was only fair to let me clean my plate since he did all the cooking. I saw Draggo diligently checking his garden plot for weeds, before watering it. Based on how thorough he had been, I doubted any would have a chance to take root. I headed to the couch to watch some TV.

About an hour later, I heard the lawnmower fire up outside. I felt mildly guilty about leaving the chores to Draggo, but he was very enthusiastic about doing them. A short time later, I was startled by a knock at the door. I wasn’t expecting visitors, so I was curious as to who it could possibly be. When I opened the door, I was pleasantly surprised to find Runner waiting on the front step. The border collie perked up when I opened the door and grinned widely upon seeing me. He was holding a large box in front of him.

“Hey Brian! How are you? I had some free time, so I hope you don’t mind me stopping by to say hello!” Runner said, his tail wagging. “Also this package was on your step!” he said, offering it to me.

“Runner! I don’t mind at all, it’s great to see you! Please come in!” I said warmly, accepting the package from him. Looking at the label I saw it was from Synthetic Companions Inc, so I assumed it must be Draggo’s clothing order.

“Thanks Brian, one sec!” Runner said, and sat down on the front step for a moment so he could pull off his work boots. Once they were off, he nimbly hopped back up and followed me inside. I took Draggo’s package and put it on the kitchen table, then invited Runner to join me in the living room on the couch.

“That package is some clothing Draggo ordered when he first got here. I felt really guilty when he arrived and I realized I had forgotten to get him anything to wear” I told Runner with embarrassment.

“Oh, don’t worry about it! I talked to Draggo in the backyard, and I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, but he is very happy here! He said he feels like the luckiest dragon in the world to have ended up with you! Heck, Jasper, Clyde and I also feel very lucky to have made such a great friend ourselves!” Runner said, patting my leg and smiling at me.

”Well, that certainly makes me feel good to hear, thank you for telling me that” I said gratefully.

“I wouldn’t mind having some more clothes, though I suppose with only the one pair of overalls it’s not hard to decide what to wear! Runner said with a laugh. I chuckled and nodded, but then a great idea popped into my head.

“Wait here for a minute, I’ll be right back!” I said to Runner, who tilted his head and looked at me curiously as I hurried to the basement. A moment later I returned with my bin of old clothes, and put it on the floor in front of Runner. “You look like you’re about the same size as me, you’re welcome to take anything you like” I said as I pulled off the lid of the bin.

“Oh wow!” Runner said excitedly as he slid off the couch and squatted in front of the bin, lifting out the shirt on top and holding it up. He quickly undid his overall straps, and slid them down to his waist so he could try on the shirt he was holding.

“How does it fit?” I asked, though I could already see it looked to be the perfect size for him.

“It fits great!” Runner said happily, and resumed pulling clothes from the bin and examining them. There were a few pairs of old cargo pants in there, and Runner pulled out a pair, then stood up to hold them against his legs to check the length. Without a second thought, he dropped his overalls completely and stepped out of them. He pulled on the pants to see how they fit, and even with his tail sticking out from the waistband, they seemed to fit well.

“Other than not having a tail hole, these pants are great!” Runner said as he admired them.

“The other pairs in there are the same size, so they should fit too. I bet if we ask Draggo nicely he would be willing to put in some tail holes for you” I told him with a grin. I was very pleased to see how happy my old clothes had made Runner.

“You think so? That would be awesome!” Runner said. I heard the lawn mower shutoff outside. We would probably find out the answer shortly, but I already knew Draggo would be happy to help. A few moments later, Draggo came in from the garage.

“The yard work is complete!” Draggo announced as he entered, then noticed Runner wearing my old clothes. “Runner, Brian’s old clothes fit you perfectly!" he said with a smile.

“Your package came, it’s on the kitchen table. I told Runner you might be willing to add some tail holes to his pants for him” I said to Draggo.

“Absolutely, it would be no problem!” Draggo replied as he headed into the kitchen to get his package.

“I really appreciate this guys, it’s so nice of you both!” Runner said gratefully, pulling me into a tight hug, and giving my cheek a friendly lick. I laughed and hugged him back.

“It’s our pleasure Runner, I’m so glad you like the clothes. Hey Draggo, bring out your new clothes to show us!” I called to him.

“One moment, I just need to open the box!” Draggo called back from the kitchen. We heard him rummaging in the drawer for scissors. A moment later he emerged from the kitchen with his open box.

“Let me get my stuff out of the way” Runner said, and quickly put the clothes he had pulled out of the bin back into it, clearing off the couch. Draggo nodded his thanks, and sat down, placing his box in front of him. Runner and I sat down on each side of him, and watched with interest as Draggo began removing the bagged items. I chuckled when I recognized one of the items was a baseball cap for our local team. The cap had holes in it to accommodate the horns on Draggo’s head. The clothing he had ordered consisted of two pairs of khaki pants, a long and short sleeve button up shirt, and a pair of shoes designed for the unique shape of his feet. The shoes were interesting in that they didn’t have laces, but instead had overlapping flaps that opened for Draggo to place his feet into them, then the flaps buckled closed over his feet.

“Very nice Draggo, you should try them on!” I suggested. Draggo nodded and smiled, then stood up and undressed. He slipped on the short sleeve shirt and pants, then put on his new shoes. Everything fit him perfectly, and he turned around in a circle to give us a full view.

“Wow, looking sharp Draggo!” Runner complimented him.

“You sure do! Maybe now you’ll join me on my trip into town to show off your fancy new threads!” I said with a grin. I think if Draggo were capable of blushing he would have been.

“You’re both too kind” Draggo said with a shy grin. “Maybe I will come with you, it would be good for me to get out” Draggo agreed.

“How much time do you have Runner? You’re welcome to join us if you like, probably take us about an hour” I offered. Runner’s ears perked up eagerly at the offer.

“That would be great! I’ve only ever actually been to the feed and farming supply store. Let me check real quick that it’s ok with Joseph and to see if the others don’t mind covering for me!” Runner said. His brow furrowed and a look of concentration came over his face. “It’s fine with Jasper and Clyde, just waiting on Joseph…and he says it’s fine!” Runner said excitedly, and grinned widely.

“Excellent! We will have ourselves a little adventure then! If you would like Runner, I can set up those pants with a tail hole real quick, it should only take me a few minutes” Draggo offered.

“Yes, thank you Draggo!” Runner said, as he quickly stood up and dropped his pants then handed them over. Draggo headed into the kitchen to his sewing machine and got started. “I can’t thank you enough for the clothes Brian, I can’t wait to show Jasper and Clyde!” Runner told me, and leaned over to wrap me in another hug.

“I’m happy you like them Runner. When you need to clean them, you’re welcome to come use the washer and dryer” I offered, as Runner sat back down next to me on the couch, and draped his arm around my shoulders. It only took Draggo a few minutes to set up Runner’s pants, and he returned from the kitchen and handed them back.

“That should do it! Try them on” Draggo said. Runner eagerly accepted his pants back and stood up to pull them on. He looked over his shoulder, and wagged his tail.

“This is awesome, thank you so much Draggo!” Runner said happily, and gave Draggo a hug.

“It was my pleasure. You can leave the other pairs with me and I will modify them for you this evening” Draggo said as he patted Runner’s back.

“Well now that everybodies dressed, ready to hit the road?” I asked with a grin. They both nodded their agreement.

Draggo and I headed out the door to the garage, and Runner went out the front door to grab his boots, then met us at the garage.

“It might be best if I ride in the back seat, since my tail is considerably longer than yours Runner. If you would permit me Brian, at some point I could modify the seat to accommodate my tail. We will have to order some special sewing materials, but they shouldn’t be expensive” Draggo said.

“That would be fine with me, we can look into it later” I said. Draggo slid into the back seat, and Runner got in the passenger seat. Draggo sat behind him with his tail draped along the back seats. It wasn’t a terribly long drive into town, and I glanced into the rearview mirror occasionally to observe Draggo as he took in the scenery during the drive. His head constantly swiveled from side to side, not wanting to miss anything. Runner was content to look out his side, he most likely had seen most of it before. We rode mostly in silence and listened to the radio. Runner began to perk up as we got into town, eagerly taking in the new sights he hadn’t seen before. I pulled into the grocery store parking lot, and shut off the engine. Draggo and Runner climbed out, and looked around with interest. People walking by couldn’t help but look. I hadn’t really taken into consideration that if seeing someone in public with a companion was uncommon, seeing somebody with two companions was almost unheard of. Draggo and Runner followed me into the entrance and I grabbed a cart. As I pushed the cart through the store, the two of them walked closely behind me shoulder to shoulder. I couldn’t imagine what people must think.

“Wow, look at all of this! I’m kind of glad I don’t have to eat, I don’t think I could ever decide!” Runner said with a laugh.

“Indeed, the choices are almost overwhelming!” Draggo agreed as he examined the products on the shelves as we walked down the aisle.

“Well, people get kind of set in their ways when it comes to food. I usually get the same thing most of the time. Maybe every once in a while I might get something special like a steak” I told them. As we passed other shoppers, some stared at Draggo and Runner, but most of them smiled and nodded as they passed, which the two of them returned in kind. Runner and Draggo were quite fascinated by everything. Runner seemed especially interested in the lobster tank, and pressed his nose against it as he looked at them with curiosity. As we came around the end of one aisle, I almost ran my cart into an elderly woman’s. I apologized quickly, and noticed she too was accompanied by a companion. Following her was a slim cheetah, who was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. I had actually seen them in the store before, but only from a distance.

“Oops, excuse me ma’am, my bad!” I said sheepishly after almost causing a collision.

“Oh it’s quite alright! No harm, no foul! My goodness, two companions! You must be quite a handful if you need two to keep you out of trouble!” The woman commented with a chuckle.

“Ha! Well, actually Runner here is my neighbor, Draggo is with me” I said as I motioned to each of them as I introduced them.

“Nice to meet you Draggo and Runner, my name is Irene. What beautiful blue scales you have Draggo! I love your black and white fur Runner” Irene complimented them and smiled warmly. “Where are my manners? This is Francis, I don’t know what I would do without him!” Irene said, as she turned and patted Francis’ arm. The cheetah nodded and smiled.

“Very nice to meet you, my name is Brian” I said as I extended my hand to Irene. Irene shook my hand, which I then offered to Francis. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised in question, and I nodded and smiled, and he took my hand and grinned as we shook.

”Pleasure to meet you Brian. Also you, Draggo and Runner” Francis said.

“How nice of you, most people don’t offer to shake hands with Francis!” Irene commented with a smile.

“Brian’s the best! I’ve never met anyone nicer!” Runner said with a grin, and clapped me firmly on the shoulder.

“He’s definitely one of a kind” Draggo commented with a smile.

“Well, we better get back to our shopping, it was so nice meeting you!” Irene said.

“It was nice meeting you and Francis as well Irene, have a good day!” I said, as we continued on our way. Francis nodded and smiled at me as he followed Irene. The rest of our grocery shopping was uneventful. Draggo made some suggestions of things to buy for some meals he wanted to make for me, and I added them to my cart without hesitation. Considering what he had made me with just what I had laying around, I could only imagine what kind of amazing meal he would make with ingredients he had planned! After checking out, I wheeled my cart back to the car, and Draggo and Runner loaded my groceries into the trunk for me. Runner returned the cart, and dashed back. With our shopping done, we headed home.

We drove in silence for a bit, then Runner spoke up, turning to speak to Draggo in the back.

“Can you believe what Francis told us? I had assumed he was an assistant companion, but I would have never guessed they were at partner affection level!” Runner said in disbelief.

“What?!?” I said in surprise. I had assumed the same thing. Draggo chuckled from the back seat.

“Yes, I apologize Brian, but we had a long conversation with Francis well you and Irene spoke briefly. As I told you before, we can exchange information nearly instantly without speaking. We essentially had a very long conversation in seconds” Draggo told me.

“Well, good for her I guess!” I said with a laugh. I almost couldn’t help but wonder if Draggo and Runner were having a conversation right now that I wasn’t privy to. “I hope you aren’t sharing any of our intimate details!” I said jokingly as I grinned at Draggo in the rearview mirror. A look of shock crossed his face.

”I would never! Frankly I was quite surprised at his indiscretion in the details he shared with us! I hope you know I take your privacy very seriously” Draggo assured me.

”I know you do Draggo. I completely trust you and I didn’t mean to upset you” I apologized with a smile.

“I can vouch for him, he’s never shared any details about your relationship with us before!” Runner said, briefly putting his hand on my shoulder.

”I know he wouldn’t Runner, I was only teasing him. But in case you were curious, Draggo and I’s affection level is also partner” I told Runner.

“That’s great! I’m so happy for you guys!” Runner said with a grin.

“Thank you Runner” I said. I glanced in the rearview at Draggo again, and dropped him a wink and grinned. Draggo smiled and winked back at me.

A short time later we arrived home. I pulled into the garage, and popped the trunk. Draggo and Runner helped gather up the groceries and bring them inside. Draggo worked on putting away the groceries, well I chatted with Runner.

“That was fun, thanks for inviting me along!” Runner said happily.

“It was our pleasure, thanks for coming” I said with a smile.

“I’m flattered you would tell me about your relationship with Draggo, I’ll keep it to myself! I have to agree with Draggo, it was kind of surprising that Francis would share so many details about their relationship!” Runner said.

“I don’t mind if you tell Jasper and Clyde about Draggo and I’s affection level. I’m sure we’ll be seeing lots of them in the future, as well as you” I told Runner with a smile. Draggo nodded and smiled in agreement as he continued putting away groceries.

”I have to admit, I’m a little envious of you two. I can’t help but wonder what it would be like to have somebody to be intimate with” Runner said, sounding somewhat sad.

“Well, you never know Runner! Maybe someday you will have the opportunity” I told him. I put my hand on his shoulder to comfort him.

“Thanks Brian, I hope so too!” Runner said, starting to sound like his usual cheerful self again. “Well, I should probably get going. Thank you so much again for the clothes, and letting me tag along with you today!”

“My pleasure Runner, I’ll walk out with you and get the door for you” I offered, as Runner picked up the bin of clothing I had given him. He left behind the pants that needed to be altered for Draggo to work on. In the garage Runner put the bin down to pull his boots back on. He had taken them off again before coming inside. After getting his boots on, he stood up, but before picking up his bin again, he looked at me as if he wanted to ask me something, but was afraid to.

“So, this is probably going to sound weird, so I’ll just come out and ask. Can we…kiss? I just wanted to know what it’s like, I’m so sorry if this is weird! Ugh! I should have kept my mouth shut!” Runner said in frustration, and clutched the sides of his head in embarrassment. I was completely shocked at his request.

“Well, I’m very flattered Runner, but I don’t know what Draggo would think” I said with uncertainty.

“I…actually asked him. He said if it was ok with you, he didn’t mind. I told him I just wanted to know what it felt like. I understand if you say no though” Runner said anxiously. As if to confirm it, my phone dinged with the distinct notification sound from my companion app. I pulled it out to see it was a message from Draggo.

Draggo: Runner asked me about it in the car. I can understand what it’s like to want to experience intimacy. I promise you it won’t upset me if you do this for him.

I put my phone back in my pocket, and looked at Runner, who was fidgeting nervously. I smiled and nodded at him. Runner’s ears immediately perked up and his mouth hung open in surprise.

“I…I can’t initiate it at our affection level, so you will have to kiss me” Runner said shyly. I raised my hands to his face, and held his head gently as I pressed my lips against his. He brought his hands up and held onto my forearms as we kissed. I slid my tongue across his soft lips, then felt his tongue slip out tentatively against mine. I parted my lips wider as I rubbed my tongue against his, then sucked on it, pulling it into my mouth. Runner gasped in surprise, then sighed happily as our tongues rubbed against each other in my mouth. His hands slid down my arms to my shoulders, and he pulled me closer to him. After a moment, he pulled his tongue from my mouth and took a step back, breathing heavily. I couldn’t help but notice a bulge had formed in the crotch of his pants.

“Wow, that was, WOW!” Runner exclaimed.

“Was it everything you hoped it would be?” I asked with a grin.

“It was amazing! I…thank you Brian, you really are a great friend!” Runner said happily. “I really need to go, thank you for everything today!”

“You’re welcome Runner. Maybe keep our kiss to yourself, don’t tell Jasper and Clyde ok? I don’t want anybody getting jealous!” I said with a laugh.

“I will, don’t worry!” Runner said very seriously. He gathered up his bin, and nodded to me with a grin as he left. I went back inside. Draggo had finished putting the groceries away and was sitting on the couch. The TV was off and he simply sat waiting for me. I sat down next to him, and he draped his around my shoulders and pulled me closer, nuzzling my cheek. I leaned my head against his shoulder.

”That was nice of you to do that for Runner” He said to me.

“You promise you aren’t upset about it? It felt like I was cheating on you” I told him. Draggo simply chuckled.

“I told you I wouldn’t be, don’t concern yourself! I can understand him wanting to experience intimacy. I have a confession to make about my first day with you” Draggo said quietly. I reached up to put my hand over his on my arm. “Remember when I had my genital malfunction? Well, it wasn’t really a malfunction…”

“What do you mean?” I asked curiously.

“Well, when you originally set my affection level to friend, I thought maybe you were disappointed with me. Like I told you, overwhelmingly most people set initial affection levels to partner. I thought maybe there was something wrong with me, and I felt inadequate. I pretended to have the malfunction to see if I could entice you. But obviously I’ve learned since then that you genuinely wanted to take things slow. Draggo said.

“I’m so sorry I made you feel that way! I had no idea! It was just…you’re so realistic, I was very intimidated! I decided I wanted to build our relationship first, and hey, we made it two whole days before going to partner!” I said with a laugh.

“That’s just because I pressured you!” Draggo laughed. “I wonder how long it might have been if not for that nightmare you had” he pondered.

“I don’t regret it, I think it was nice to get to know each other better first. I think our relationship would have been different if we had just gone straight to the sex” I said.

“Looking back, I have to agree. You’ve been so kind to me, and our neighboring companions. I truly am glad you did that for Runner” Draggo said.

“I asked him to keep it to himself, or next thing you know Jasper and Clyde are going to show up on our doorstep looking for kisses too!” I laughed. Draggo chuckled.

”Well, should that happen, you have my permission. I’m sure Runner will be discreet though” Draggo said with a smile.

“I’m starting to feel like you're pimping me out!” I said, nudging Draggo playfully in his side.

“Ha, no, I’m just willing to share. But if you start charging them for sex, I’m going to need a cut!” Draggo said jokingly.

“I hope they aren’t jealous about the clothes I gave Runner. It’s too bad I didn’t have something for them too” I said regretfully.

“I’m sure they won’t be. Finding clothes for an 8ft tall horse would be a daunting challenge in itself! Jasper wouldn’t be as tough to find clothes for, but probably still a challenge. I could probably make them something if I had the fabric” Draggo said.

“Hmm, if I bought the fabric would you? I’m sure they would be thrilled!” I asked.

“You would be willing to do that for them? That is very kind of you” Draggo said with a smile, hugging me tighter to his side.

“Sure, I like doing nice things for you guys! Runner was thrilled with those clothes, I’m sure Jasper and Clyde would love to have a change in wardrobe as well” I said. We both jumped slightly when my phone sounded the tone indicating a message on my companion app. “Is that a message from you?” I asked as I pulled my phone out.

“It’s not me! I’m right here, I wouldn’t need to send a message” Draggo said, sounding puzzled. He leaned over to look at my phone with me.

“Runner has requested to join your companion network” I read aloud. “I didn’t realize companions that weren’t mine could request to join my account. Should I accept?” I asked Draggo.

“Even if you don’t have a companion, a family member might have an assistant companion, that way they could get in touch in case of an emergency. Though it seems in this case Runner is using it as more of a social thing” Draggo told me. I shrugged and hit accept. A new different colored dot immediately appeared on the map indicating Runner’s location at the farm. It appeared he was in the larger barn. A new message popped up almost immediately after.

Runner: Hey Brian! Thanks for accepting my request! I figured it was a good way if you ever needed to get a hold of me and Draggo wasn’t nearby. Do you mind if Jasper and Clyde send you requests?

Brian: Hey Runner! Sure, that’s fine if they want to send me requests.

Runner: Awesome, I’ll let them know! See you later Brian!

Brian: Take care Runner.

A moment later the requests from Jasper and Clyde came. I accepted both, and two more dots appeared on my map. The legend in the corner of the screen indicated who was who by color. All three of them were together in the barn. A new message appeared.

Jasper: Hey Brian, thanks for accepting our request. Like Runner said, if you ever need us, don’t be afraid to reach out. Also it was very nice of you to give him your old clothes. He is over the moon about them!

Brian: It was my pleasure. I’m sorry I didn’t have anything for you and Clyde, but don’t worry, Draggo and I have something planned for you too!

Jasper: Really? That’s awfully nice of you, but don’t go out of your way on our account! Anyway, have a good one, we’ll stop by and visit when we can.

Brian: Ok Jasper, take care!

I was curious to see if Clyde would message me as well, but apparently he let Jasper do the talking for him. I put my phone back in my pocket.

“Guess my companion network is growing, next thing you know there’s going to be a request from Francis!” I said with a laugh.

“Ha, I think he is too busy seeing to Irene’s needs!” Draggo said jokingly. “Well, I think I will get started on Runner’s pants” Draggo said, gathering them up from where Runner had left them on the couch and headed into the kitchen. I pulled my phone back out and opened the companion app again. Jasper, Clyde, and Runner’s dots had left the barn and spread out across the farm, most likely hard at work on their chores. I thought about my kiss with Runner in the garage. Our bodies pressed together, the feel of his soft fur, his long tongue in my mouth. It sent a shiver through me. I wondered if that kiss would satisfy his curiosity about intimacy, or if he would push for more? I guess only time would tell.
