[Greentext] When everyone around town is so happy and nice, how is a dog girl supposed to get a cool guy like Anon?

\>Just another day of being the “tough bitch" in town  
\>Every other fur and feather is so content with living out their assigned roles day after day  
\>I didn't use to be the grump, the sourpuss, the loner  
\>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  
\>Now I can't get rid of it even if I tried  
\>It makes finding a mate around here pretty fucking hard as well  
\>The other dogs are slobbering meatheads, and I don't roll over just because they beg  
\>The bears LOOK like they know a good time, but they're just too soft for someone like me  
\>The rabbits aren't bad, if you're into sissy little girlyboys  
\>Hell, I'd play for the other team if most of the girls weren't already paired off with their own type  
\>So here I am, sulking in the shadows as the rest of the town is getting ready to welcome some new resident  
\>"Anon", he goes by  
\>Gee, wonder what kind of walking character trope he's going to b-  
\>Holy shit, is that a human?  
\>I thought humans were just some stupid marketing icons  
\>Like, something advertisers made up because they're so “neutral" looking for products  
\>And yet here he is, walking around all furless and naive  
\>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  
\>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  
\>Want  
\>I want HIM  
  
\>He's visited at his remote little house for hours, well into the evening  
\>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  
\>I also want to be the last one he thinks about before he goes to sleep  
\>Luckily he's still awake when I rap on his door  
\>Dude barely comes up to my chest  
\>I make sure he gets a good look at it first  
\>Before I can introduce myself, he says my name  
\>…How the hell?  
\>Apparently all the others around town have been talking shit about me already  
\>Needless to say, I'm pretty damn livid right now  
\>If those gossiping busybodies already ruined this for me…  
\>Anon doesn't seem to know any better  
\>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  
\>Well, BUDDY…  
\>…It actually kind of works  
\>I expected him to put up a fight, or show fear, or have him see me with the same stupid whimsy like the rest  
\>I didn't think he'd disarm me with kindness  
\>I'm so dumbfounded by it I barely remember being invited into his home  
\>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  
\>Now I'm sitting on his couch, and he's spilling his life story  
\>Where he comes from, why he's here, what he hopes to accomplish…  
\>I'm not necessarily tuning him out, but when I hear the word I snap into focus  
\>"Friend"  
\>He's looking to make some friends, and I'm damn well going to be his favorite  
\>But it's already getting late, and the poor guy is pretty tired from the trip and from getting bombarded with welcomes all day  
\>He asks if I'd want to come back first thing in the morning to hang out some more  
\>Yeah…sure thing  
\>I actually find myself heading back to my place pretty briskly  
\>Probably a good thing, because everything seems to be getting pretty foggy out all of the sudden  
\>I head inside and see that familiar bitch in the mirror  
\>Then I get a good look at my face, and my eyes, and I see why everything was so misty on the way back  
  
\>I'm at his door before he's even fully awake  
\>Son of a bitch, tail. Stay still!  
\>He doesn't look bothered by my early arrival  
\>Actually looks pretty excited to see me  
\>I really hope I didn't mess up and get stuck with some perpetually merry little ditz  
\>He had the whole town come to him yesterday, so now he wants to see the rest of it for himself  
\>Fine, whatever  
\>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  
\>We go to the shops, the restaurants, the meeting places  
\>He's keen on mingling with the community, which is something I can't say I've wanted much from these people  
\>It's kind of endearing for him, I guess  
\>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  
\>Just wish he'd hurry up so we can be alone together again  
\>…Man, I'm terrible  
\>I feel like a spoiled pup wanting him all for myself, and all he wants is just to belong here  
\>He's made more progress getting through to these people already then I ever could in years  
  
\>He's had a pretty long day, and by the evening he's ready to settle in  
\>I would have thought he'd be sick of me tagging along, but he's full of surprises  
\>Anon seriously wants me back into his home for a little while  
\>Alright, a second chance  
\>Don't fuck this up!  
\>He's hospitable enough, though he seems just as nervous to be here as I am  
\>I mean, not that I'm nervous around him  
\>How did I even get to the couch again!?  
\>We're just chilling together, but this time it's me who's acting like an open book  
\>I tell him about my part in the town's little ecosystem  
\>How I'm seen as the designated grouch  
\>How I'm probably invited to all the gatherings out of obligation instead of genuine companionship  
\>How I'm so fucking lonely every single day…  
\>There it is, girl. You've said too much to this guy you barely know  
\>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  
\>My throat burns too much from holding it all in to say anything  
\>And he's just sitting there staring at me with pity  
\>Do something!  
\>And he does; just gets right to the point and pulls me in for a hug  
\>Even though I dwarf the guy, I feel so small in his arms  
\>I love how smooth he is, and how it feels to have his fingers comb through my fur  
\>I dreaded this was going to be my breaking point, but everything about his company puts me at ease  
\>I don't need some kind of easy lay or piece of meat to make me happy here  
\>I'd be fine just like this for as long as I can  
\>He practically knows my whole history by this point, but he has none of the judgment or resentment I have for myself  
\>I don't deserve a guy like this  
\>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  
\>He's got the magic touch, this one  
\>Goddammit tail, we're having a moment!   
  
\>Boy have I gotten to be a smug bitch  
\>Anon and I go pretty much everywhere together  
\>He's got to be some kind of oddity, tolerating a dog like me  
\>Not just tolerating, but borderline infatuated  
\>I don't plan on being modest about my good fortune, either  
\>All the other furs and feathers around town are shocked by the two of us being a pair  
\>Not to mention being blown away seeing me not be such a downer anymore  
\>Plus, I'm not the only one who changed a bit  
\>I managed to make a dent in their cheery little facades, showing hints of jealousy in their goofy eyes  
\>I absolutely relish it  
\>But Anon's too cool a guy for that kind of pettiness, and I feel lucky to have him as my better half  
\>He's barely been here for long and he already made me the happiest girl out there  
\>Now, this town doesn't seem so bad  
\>It helps that it feels like I have a fresh start here  
\>A new lease on life  
\>And I want Anon to be in it forever
