\>This evening had been perfect for you.

\>How could it not have been?

\>You got to spend the entire day with Aisha, your girlfriend

\>Sure both of you earned random stares throughout the day, but you did your best to ignore them.

\>After all, people staring was nothing new.

\>She is a 7 foot tall African spotted dog anthro, while you are just...You.

\>Her confession of love to you was out of the blue, with her saying she loved you because of all you did for her.

\>Turns out all you did was let her copy your homework so she wouldn't fail chemistry back in high school.

\>But that was all it took it seems, with you now in college and her in a trade school for fixing Motorcycles.

\>Both of you had stuck through it, despite how it looked to outsiders

\>She was... Is? ...Has been? Whatever, she would usually be described as a delinquent

\>Tall, Tough, and with fur dye tattoos covering her muscular arms

\>Her short hair, dyed neon blue, and usually wearing a leather biker jacket; she looked like she was robbing you

\>In fact a few cops had stopped you both in the streets on date nights, asking you if everything was ok.

\>You always wrapped one arm around Aisha's waist and pulled her close, earning a surprised yelp from her when that happened

\>That little squeak is what made the cops believe you when you said it was a date between the two of you.

\>Her embarrassed look is what convinced them, and her trying to hide behind you really sold it

\>She was, and still is embarrassed about being seen as soft and loving

\>Having grown up in a large family of criminals, she had to be tough

\>Her father has been in prison for 15 years, her older brother was in jail for robbery, and her younger siblings all had various crimes marking their records

\>But Aisha didn't.

\>Mainly because of you

\>You told her that if she needed money, you would help her so she didn't have to rob people or burgle or whatever

\>She deserved better, and you were determined to help her realize it

\>But all that falls to the wayside as you step out of the sushi restaurant, your arm locked around her muscular arm

\>"Where to now Babe?" you ask happily, looking up at her.

\>The two of you had a classic date, a Movie at the theaters and dinner.

\>She bites her lower lip and looks to the side concerned at what she has to say

\>You already know it's because of something with her family

\>"Uh...Can we go to your place Anon? I think one of my brothers has a girlfriend over or something" she says, not looking you in the eyes.

\>A weak excuse, but not one you were going to argue with

\>"Ok Love, Lets go" you say with a smile

\>You hand interlocked with her padded fingers, you lead her back to her motorcycle.

\>She learned to ride early on, and buying a car is expensive, so usually she gave you rides everywhere

\>The confused looks from people at your college were priceless she dropped you off and gave you a goodbye kiss

\>A muscular paw squeezes your butt as you grab your helmet, making you jump in surprise

\>"Hey!" you call out in anger as you look to Aisha, who giggles

\>"Sorry sorry! You're just SO cute!" she says with a grin, buckling her own helmet over her dyed hair

\>With a quick sweep of her leg, she's on her bike and patting the seat behind her

\>"Come on Anon" she cooes softly, the way she speaks would surprise anyone else, the soft voice coming from such a tough looking woman is startling at best

\>Quickly you swing a leg over the bike and wrap your arms around her waist, earning a satisfied “mmm" from her

\>You know that it is only for you to hear, as she reves up her bike and sets off to your apartment

\>The world blurs by as you hug her close

\>In times like this, when there was nothing but the sound of her bike, you and her

\>You were truly reminded of how close you were to her

\>Yea, you both looked like polar opposites, but you knew everything about her, her loses and fears

\>But that didn't matter, it never did

\>Even now as your arms were wrapped around Aisha's thicc waist, you didn't think about your differences

\>Rather you thought about everything you had in common

\>Both of you had parents who didn't care

\>Sure, it was pure coincidence that you grew up with parents who would rather get high&nbsp;

\>And she grew up with parents who would rather go rob someone over raising thier children

\>Somehow it brought you both closer together

\>Maybe it's because when you have no one else rooting for you, all you need is one other person rooting you on

\>For you that other person just happened to be her, and you were sure for her, you were that other person

\>And in the end, you didn't need anyone else; you were self-sufficient, but having Aisha's approval made every accomplishment that much sweeter.

\>When she told you of every small thing,&nbsp; her getting accepted into the local trade school; her graduating high school as the first one in her family... you threw a small party consisting of just you and her.

\>Her bike roars as she splits the lanes of traffic, zooming in-between the cars at a standstill.

\>Your state never did make it illegal, so she would take advantage of it, regardless of how you said it terrified you.

\>Some things you just could never change, and her veering through traffic was one of them.

\>But if that was it, just her being defiant about lane splitting, that was one you were willing to concede.

\>The highway is packed because of nothing, just people being right assholes and slowing down for literally nothing.

\>It used to annoy you, getting stuck in traffic for some assholes who were so engrossed watching a cop pull over some dumb idiot who sped.

\>Those things didn't bother you anymore, Aisha liked to drive, and you didn't mind being a passenger to this wild ride.

\>You hold her close as the world zips by in a roaring flurry, earning satisfied high pitched “A Hummmm" noises from Aisha

\>If you didn't have your head pressed against her back you would miss those small noises, but you were so glad you didn't.

\>Hearing her enjoyment from it all was the best drug you could ever have.

\>You're so lost in thought, mesmerized by Aisha's firm body and the sounds she makes, that you don't even realized that you're at your apartment.

\>Nuzzles, tight hugs, and happy whimpers from Aisha tell you this night isn't one of sex, but one of quiet snuggles.

\>Overflowing love between two people who deserved it.

\>It was perfect as you unlocked your apartment door and got pulled softly by Aisha to your bedroom.

\>No words are needed as you bother strip happily.

\>Her to just a pair of stretched panties, and you to a pair of loose boxers.

\>You had gotten an extra-long bed to accommodate her height a while ago, even though she hated that you spent money on her.

\>She always did hate when you bought things for her sake, even now, after so many months into your relationship.

\>months? Years? Did it matter?

\>She is your best friend and you don't mind spending a bit of money for her comfort.

\>Both of you slip into your bed in your preferred sleeping positions; you on your back and her cuddled up to your side

\>Perfect for you to wrap one arm around her waist and pull her close.

\>"I love you Anon" Aisha whispers happily, snuggling her head into your chest.

\>"I love you too Aisha" you murmur, half asleep already.

\>It had been a long day; although it had been wonderful to spend with Aisha, a day on your feet all day was exhausting

\>Aisha's large head nuzzles into your chest, pulling the blankets into a small pillow between her head and your bony ribs

\>"Thank you for such a wonderful day" she murmurs happily, her large ears twitching and tickling your chin.

\>You rub your hand up and down her back in reassurance

\>"I had such a good time with you babe" you say with the aloofness only fatigue can bring.

\>A happy, "Ahum" is the only answer you get from her and she pulls you closer to her.

\>You hear rain start to splatter against your windows and the two of you drift off to sleep together

\>Weight, or was it pressure?

\>Something pressing down on your chest and limbs.

\>Not pressing like Aisha's comforting weight on you.

\>No, this was all encompassing.

\>You struggle against it and feel your body collapse upon itself, not listening to your commands to move.

\>Nothing.

\>No response from your body at all.

\>You struggle against it, trying hard to move, only to have the feeling change

\>It was no longer crushing weight, but dozens of spectral hands pulling you downwards into the bed.

\>The only thing you can control is your eyes as you search around for answers as to what is tormenting you.

\>They rest, at long last, on your semi open closet door.

\>Did you leave it open? Or did Aisha?

\>Doesn't matter now as a pair of blood red glowing eyes stare at you, with dozens of ghastly hands spewing forth from the closet opening.

\>All you can do is whimper softly, as you feel the hands pulling you towards the closet.

\>Your fearful whimpers cause a soft stirring&nbsp;

\>How could you forget Aisha? Probably because the crushing weight from these hands made the weight from her head unnoticeable

\>"A-anon?" she whispers looking at you, her blue eyes glinting in the dark.

\>You can't answer, looking your eyes onto hers in a panic, trying to ignore the red eyes from the closet.

\>"A-anon!? Are you ok?! She cries sitting up quickly, looking over your body for any physical issues.

\>You can't move, you can't answer, and all you can do is blink like an idiot.

\>It's been a long time since you suffered from sleep paralysis.

\>Your body is still asleep but your mind isn't.

\>Ok... Stay calm.

\>Blink at her, get her attention.

\>You blink your eyes furiously at her, until she looks at them.

\>"Why are you?... Can't you..." she murmurs with a slight frown.

\>Come on, you had talked to her about this before

\>"That thing, night frozenness or something!" she says in realization, looking into your eyes with unwavering determination.

\>Her muscular frame wraps around you, seeming to push aside the specters hands&nbsp;

\>"Uh... I got you love, it's ok, I got you" she whispers, nuzzling your head into the crook of her neck

\>"It's ok...it's ok" she reassures you softly

\>You focus on her instead of the hundreds of shadow hands trying to get to you.

\>They all seem to be repelled by the soft caress of you love, which was a welcome surprise.

\>Closing your eyes and ignoring everything besides Aisha, you stay awake and unable to move.

\>Aisha's whispers turn to soft snores as she keeps you pressed to her.

\>You don't even realize you've fallen asleep, until you feel your eyes snap open to sunlight streaming through the window.

\>The smell off coffee and bacon fills the air as you wander out of the bedroom and find Aisha in the kitchen, wearing short shorts and an apron.

\>Her ears swivel towards you as you walk up behind her.

\>"Hey love" you say, wrapping your arms around her waist.

\>"Hey baby, you ok?" she says happily as she tends to the bacon.

\>"Mhm, I love you" you say pushing the side of your face into the soft fur of her back.

\>she gives a short snicker and Smiles happily.

\>"Love you too"
