LIGHTNING STRIKES [BOLT-ONE]

Bolt was resting on the porch, looking out over his yard. There was nothing especially awe inspiring about the day, but he enjoyed being outside in the fresh air anyway. He turned to see Rhino rolling around beside him in his ball. "Don't you ever get tired of being restricted in that thing?" Bolt asked the hamster.

"Of course not Bolt!" Rhino the hyperactive hamster he was, stood and made a pose, even though he wasn't really in shape by the looks of it "Running around in it gets me fit, I can go for days without stopping" and then proceeded to making short laps around Bolt.

Bolt just had to laugh a little. It was nice to know he had such energetic friends. He was just about ready to head inside, when he saw a large moving van coming up to the house beside them. "Hey, Rhino, who do you think that is?"

Rhino looked at the large vehicle in his signature 'inspecting' look "Don't know Bolt, but whoever it is, it looks like a new family is moving in. I've seen this on TV."

Bolt rolled his eyes. He remembered back when Rhino first mentioned having seen him on television, and the whole thing started. "I think I'm gonna go check it out."

"You need backup Bolt?" Rhino asked excitedly, readily rolling around.

Bolt dropped to a whisper, knowing Rhino loved his exploring games. "No, but I need you to keep an eye on Mittens for me. I don't want her getting mixed up in it, since we don't know what this new 'enemy' is capable of."

"Yes sir!" Rhino saluted the dog and rolled away into the house shouting 'oh boy oh boy oh boy' over and over again.

Bolt chuckled a bit before heading to the edge of the fence that separated their yards. He walked onto the yard to see the movers bringing stuff in and a large Rottweiler dog on the porch.

"Hi," Bolt said, walking up to the dog.

The Rottweiler, who had been watching each and ever human carry box after box into his new 'home', turned a blue eye to look at Bolt. All that came out was a slightly snobbish 'hm' and the other dog ignored him completely, resting his head down into his paws.

Bolt walked a bit closer to the dog and gave him a smile. "Moving in?"

The Rottweiler continued to ignore Bolt, the only movement made was a flick of his ear. Round his black and tan furred neck was a blue collar with the word

'Lightning' inscribed on a piece of metal.

"Lightning, huh? Nice to meet you," Bolt said, still trying to make friends.

The dog presumed to be named Lightning, looked up at Bolt, growled lightly at him and said "What do you want."

"Just trying to be friendly," Bolt said, almost getting the same vibe from the dog as he did from the cats that belonged to the Green Eyed Man from his show.

"Go away" Lightning growled "I don't have time to be friendly". To all the humans around, all it looked like was two dogs barking at each other, and the one getting angry.

"Why? What's wrong," Bolt asked, curiously.

Lighting's fangs were showing now "None of your business, now go."

Bolt took a step back at this but didn't actually leave. "What is your problem, Lightning? I haven't done anything to you. You have a problem with other dogs or something?" Bolt asked.

Lightning didn't say anything, but he stared at Bolt with ice blue eyes.

Out of the blue, Rhino rolled up from behind Bolt "Mittens is secure sir, now, I'm ready" the hamster took one look at Lightning, and squealed "Oh my gosh...oh my gosh, your Lightning! The cool rescue dog from TV!" Rhino rolled over to Lightning, who looked at the hamster with something between befuddlement and hatred. "You saved those kids from those buildings in the fires, and you pulled that guy out of a hole with rocks in it. Wow, you're almost as great as Bolt. I can't believe this, TWO super dogs in my presence" Rhino turned solemn "I must be blessed..."

"Down, Rhino, take it easy." Bolt turned to Lightning. "So that's it then. You're a.... I mean... a hero dog." Bolt cocked his head. "Then what's with the attitude?"

"Leave me alone!" Lightning barked out, a steady growl ready.

Bolt shrugged. "Alright already," Bolt said, beginning to get the clear message that Lightning wasn't at all as friendly as Rhino might have wanted to believe. He turned his back to the Rott and made to leave for his house.

Lightning watched the other dog go, in his eyes, the ice melted and softened...He hated when he did that...

A rabbit hopped out of the house that Lightning was near and looked at the Rott. "Who was that, Lightning?"

"Some other TV dog...think his name was Bolt" Lightning's head lay in his paws again; it didn't take a genius to spot the slight sad tone of his voice.

"Bolt! You mean that superdog I watch on TV?"

"Probably" Lightning replied dully.

"That is so cool! I live next to another superdog!" The rabbit, named Spirit, started hopping all over. "I'm gonna go take a peek." He hopped toward the fence.

Where the fence had been hiding him, Rhino slid out from behind. "Ah ah ah, no trespassers on Master Bolt's property."

"You know Bolt personally!" Spirit said, hopping up and down. "God, I'm such a huge fan!"

"Y-You are?" Rhino asked, awestruck "Me too, I get to see him everyday, isn't that cool!" The hamster looked sideways over the fence, where Lightning still sat "Do you know Lightning personally?"

"Yeah, he and I work together, He's so awesome. The way he saves people from danger. He seems like a tough guy, but if you can break inside the hard shell of his, he's not all bad." Spirit said enthusiastically.

"Oh my gosh, we have SO much to talk about!" Rhino shouted with equal enthusiasm.

Bolt walks back up and looks at the two. "Rhino, what are you... Oh, hello there."

Spirit takes one look at Bolt and starts jumping around in circles. "Bolt said hi to me!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Lightning watched the ruckus at the fencing, sighed, and closed his eyes once more. Seems Spirit adapted nicely.

Bolt chuckled. "Hey Rhino, why don't you and your friend go share some stories. I wanna go try and talk to Lightning again."

"Sure thing boss!" Rhino saluted the dog once more and turned to Spirit and started rolling off "Did you see how powerful is voice is!"

"No kidding. That superbark is amazing!" Spirit said as he and Rhino walked away.

Bolt laughed a bit before entering the yard again. "Hello again."

I thought I told you to go away" Lightning muttered, not even bothering to open his eyes again...he was too afraid they would give him away even though he wished he could just give himself away.

"Lightning, open your eyes and look at me. I think I understand what's wrong. You're lonely. You want a friend."

Lightning refused, his eyes clamped shut in result.

Bolt walked up to Lightning and circled behind him, sniffing his ass a bit. "It's okay, Lightning, I understand. Believe me; I went years not knowing the life I knew as a dog was all fake."

At the butt sniff, Lighting jerked out off the porch and onto the grass, looking shocked at Bolt and after he was done speaking, Lightning barked loudly "What do you think you're doing?"

"It's what normal dogs do," Bolt said. "Don't you know that? It's how they greet each other. Did you want to sniff me first?"

"Dogs do that?" Lightning asked "Really?"

"Yeah. It's a casual greeting between dogs when they meet. It lets others know they're just being friendly." Bolt said, turning his butt to Lightning. "Go on. Really. It's okay."

Lighting looked curiously at the other dog, one ear dropped down in confusion. Slowly he padded along the soft grass, jumped back onto the porch. Bolt was smaller than he was, and Lightning could already tell he was stronger than Bolt. Lightning leant down and sniffed at Bolt's tailhole. But the second he did, a shockwave traveled straight down from his nose to his sheath, causing it to stir and swell very slightly and unnoticeably. For a few seconds Lighting took another deeper sniff, and his tongue lolled out to his side and his ice blue eyes became misty. But when he realized what he was doing, he jerked back onto the grass again, shocked and...and...embarrassed? No one had ever had that effect on him. So for the time being Lightning chose to ignore it but that scent...Bolt's scent...it smelt so...gooood.

Bolt turned his head to look back at Lightning. "Are you okay?" Obviously, Bolt hadn't noticed anything else had happened other than the sniffing.

"I'm fine" Lightning said quickly. It was a good thing his fur was so dark, it helped completely mask the blush that had formed in his cheeks, even though Lightning wasn't aware of it. Something else stirred inside the Rottweiler, seeing the worried face on Bolt...Lightning...just wasn't sure what was happening

Bolt turned around completely and looked Lightning in the eyes. "Something... wrong?"

Lightning's mild clouded...there was that look again "No..." the dog said, firm enough to believe he was telling the truth. But Bolt's eyes were still on him, and before he knew it, Lightning was running away into the fields.

Bolt saw this, though, and immediately ran after him. "Lightning, wait." He quickly caught up, despite his small size, and stood in front of the Rott. "Now I know something's wrong. Why won't you let me be your friend?"

Lightning stared at Bolt, the smaller dog...but what was the dog doing with his face? His ears were dropping down, and his eyes looked up at Lightning with a childish glow...An urge Lightning never though possible rushed through his mind, but he banned it out the second it came. The Rottweiler sighed. "Fine..."

"You've... never had a friend before, have you, Lightning? That's why you're ignoring me, isn't it?" Bolt looked into the rott's eyes piercing his very soul.

They did pierce through. God they did. Lightning was losing grips on his mask. Bolt was shattering it piece by piece and if he wasn't careful it would just break. "No..." Lightning said quietly.

"You're lying," Bolt said, keeping his eyes locked on the larger male. "Please, Lightning, just tell me. I won't hurt you."

"No...I meant...I never had friends..." Lightning said quietly, looking down as if in shame, but more to avoid Bolt's eyes.

"Why, Lightning? You seem like a great dog." Bolt said, noting the dog looking down and nudging his head upward.

Why? Why did those kind words from Bolt make Lightning feel so warm inside? "I didn't have...much contact with other animals...in my life."

"You can't let that stop you from making friends with the ones that want to, Lightning. Take Spirit for example. How long have you two been working together?"

To be honest, Lightning didn't know "Long enough."

"Well, don't you see how much Spirit idolizes you? I've learned to see that. Rhino taught me that you don't need to be a super dog to have a good friend. Even after learning the truth, he and Mittens always stood by me. It's just what friends do. Unless I'm mistaken," Bolt added. "Spirit wants to be your friend."

"He is..." Lightning muttered.

"See? So you do have a friend," Bolt said. "You don't turn him away, do you?"

"Even if I tried it wouldn't work...He's too attached to me"

"But you don't want to, do you?" Bolt asked, actually already knowing the answer. "Answer honestly, you like having Spirit around, don't you?"

"Sure, I guess"

"Lightning..." Bolt looked into Lightning's eyes once more. "You know you like having friends. Everyone does. I know it's hard to let this sink in, but I do want to be friends with you. Maybe I can teach you about being a house dog like my friends taught me.

"Oh, I know how...I just don't know...with other dogs..." Lighting hung his head again.

At this, Bolt stepped closer to Lightning and put his paw on Lighting's. "It's alright. I'll be around whenever you want to talk." He gave Lightning a smile before pulling his paw back.

Lightning's paw tingled...what was the feeling "Ok..."

A short time after Bolt left, Spirit returned. He seemed to be on a natural high after speaking with Rhino and hopped over to Lightning with a smile. "Hey buddy. How's it going?"

The Rott looked at the over energized rabbit "Hey... Spirit... can I ask you something?"

"Sure pal, anything," Spirit looked at him quietly and attentively.

"I was...talking with Bolt now...and...what do you call it when seeing someone...makes you very...very..." Lightning struggled to find a suitable

Word, "Happy."

"That's called love, Lightning," the rabbit told him. "It happens when there's a really strong feeling for someone."

Another hidden blush streaked through Lightning's fur. "Love? I... I love Bolt?"

Spirit smiled a bit. "It's okay, my friend. I'll keep it secret, but yes, that's what it means. Did he do something that made you feel good and warm inside?"

"He touched my paw..." Lightning noticed the 'my friend' comment, but said nothing about it.

"And then what happened?" Spirit asked.

"You know you can share anything with me. "What are friends for?"

"It just felt... nice", Lightning muttered, even with the friend in mind, he wasn't going to say anything about the sniffing.

"Sounds like you and he are gonna be real good friends," Spirit commented, looking at his larger canine friend. "If not more," he added.

Lightning looked across the field back at his own home and then at Bolt's. He could just make out the outline of the other dog lounging on the porch. For the first time in a very long time...Lightning smiled...because HE wanted to.

Spirit saw this smile and laughed. "God, you haven't done that in months."

"I know..." Lightning muttered softly "C'mon, let's go back."

Spirit hopped alongside his friend with a smile as they headed back to the house.

WEATHERING THE STORM [BOLT-TWO]

The next morning started off pretty much the same as other days did for Bolt, with one major exception. Through the entire night Bolt kept thinking about

Lightning and how interesting he had acted through the talk last night. Bolt decided he'd make another trip over to see the Rott and snuck out of the house while Rhino and Mittens were watching TV with Penny. He arrived at the fence between the yards and peeked over to see if Lightning was there.

Lightning was indeed there, on the porch like he had never left that spot. Except now, he was laying on his back, pawing at the air, by the looks of things sleeping.

Bolt quietly tiptoed into the yard and looked at Lightning quietly for a moment before clearing his throat loudly enough to wake him.

Lightning abruptly jumped out of sleep. He was used to this, being a hero dog and all. He looked around franticly "What? What? Who's burning?" He barked out. It was all quite amusing to watch.

Bolt gave a little silent chuckle. "Easy, Lightning, there's no danger."

Lightning rested his eyes upon Bolt. Almost immediately his eyes softened, but not noticeably, it could be mistaken for calming down "Oh... it's you."

"Yeah, it's me." Bolt said calmly. "Listen, Lightning, I want to talk to you about yesterday."

This sentence made Lightning nervous. Yesterday? What about yesterday? Had bolt noticed how odd he was acting? He and Spirit had been talking for a while after. Spirit said it was ok for animals to like animals of the same gender. He said even the humans did it! But for himself...Lightning just wasn't sure "What about yesterday?"

"It's just... I noticed you seemed to act a little strange around me right before I left yesterday. When we first met, you were acting tough, but it seemed the more we talked, the calmer you were." Bolt had no idea what Lightning's true feelings right now were. All he knew was that by the time he'd left, it seemed Bolt was talking to an entirely different dog.

'Why did he have to hit the nail 2 inches from the dot' Lightning wondered. The larger dog wondered if he really did act weirdly around Bolt "Well... your little talk got to me is all..." Lighting leapt down from the porch and onto the grass where Bolt stood. The rottie smiled, honestly "Spirit says I'm just antisocial."

"What do you mean 'my talk got to you,'" Bolt asked. "Now I'm the one confused."

"Well...you were talking about having friends and all...I guess it's just nice knowing I have one...a dog friend" Lightning muttered. He looked at Bolt...and couldn't help but think the smaller dog was adorable. Lightning's brain acted for him, and before he could pull back he leaned forward quickly and kissed Bolt smack dab on the lips. He pulled back just as fast, as if it never happened "Uh...sorry, I tripped." It was a believable story, when he had leaned forward it looked like he was about to trip.

Bolt did seem a little stunned at this, and raised an eye brow, but shook it off. "No problem. It happens..."

Lighting praised whoever was watching his fur was dark and Bolt didn't press on the matter. "So" Lighting desperately tried to think of a subject to talk about, not something he was particularly well at, so it took a few good seconds before "You played a super dog on T.V huh? Can't say I watched your show."

"Yeah, I used to, but when things in the studio became a bit too real for me and my person, we quit." Bolt said, his tail wagging a bit in the breeze. "What about you? I don't think I knew of your show either."

"Well, It's just some show where I safe some human in each episode, from stuff like fires. At the end of each episode the person I saved would always act grateful to met, pet me and all, but by the time the episode is done they forget about me...Most of it has been just fake stuff for TV, but I did have to save a life or two for real" Lightning paused "What do you mean it became too real to you?"

"The studio set fire, and all our agent cared about was making money off of the fact he could publicize the story." Bolt sighed. "Turned out for the better

anyway. I realized how much I hated what I thought was my life after I was free of it."

Lightning looked at Bolt for a while, then up at the sky "Sounds rough."

Bolt decided to throw a comment out and see where it went. "Maybe if I had you to save my life that day, things would have gone easier."

Lightning smirked softly "Maybe it would have hmm? But it doesn't look like your life needs saving, you're still alive aren't you?"

"Well, it was more my person, Penny, that I was worried about," Bolt said. "The fire started when my... double freaked out."

"Double?" Lightning sat upright like any dog would, tilting his head in confusion.

Bolt spent the next half hour explaining everything that had gone on. About how he was lead to believe Penny was kidnapped, about how he ended up on the other side of the country looking for her, about befriending Mittens and Rhino who helped get him home, and finally about learning about the dog he thought had replaced him in Penny's heart, only to discover he had been missed and loved more than ever.

Lightning listened intently, nodding occasionally. "That's some story," he said seriously. Seconds later he burst into a smile and little chuckle "You really though you were a super dog" the Rottweiler chuckled, loudly.

Bolt cocked his head. "It was the life I knew, Lightning. I'd never so much as seen the outside world, thanks to that idiot of an agent. Penny leaving every day broke my heart."

Lightning still hadn't gotten over his giggles "And that Styrofoam was your weakness! Oh that's too funny" Lightning's laugh echoed. It was a deep chuckle, but pure.

"Again, Lightning. I thought my powers were real, and they suddenly stop working when I fell out of a box filled with Styrofoam." Bolt was slowly beginning to think it might have been a mistake telling the Rott all of this.

Eventually Lightning stopped. "Sorry, Sorry...but you have to admit, if you think about it, it IS pretty funny."

Bolt stopped talking for a moment, and actually did give a bit of a chuckle. "Okay okay, so maybe it is, but what did you expect. I'd been living a lie since I was a puppy."

"I understand...but it's still really funny" Lightning snickered and looked at Bolt with a bright smile on his muzzle. He didn't feel too uncomfortable now.

"You know, you have a pretty nice smile," Bolt said, complimenting the larger dog.

That struck a heartstring in Lightning. He did everything he could to force he blush down even though he knew it wouldn't be seen "Thank you Bolt..."

"You're welcome," Bolt said, smiling as well now.

"You're a very kind dog" Lightning muttered.

"Thank you, I try to be... Well uh... anyway," Bolt looked around. "I... guess I'll go for now. I'm sure you want to get back to your nap. Feel free to come over later if you like. Penny doesn't mind when the neighborhood dogs come by to see me so you won't have a problem."

"You're a special Dog Bolt...I like you" Lightning blurted all that out, hoped it didn't sound too...obvious.

Bolt froze in his tracks, turned to look at Lightning, and then ran to his yard. As soon as he was out of earshot, he called out. "Rhino...."

Lightning saw the other dog flee, he sighed and padded into the house for a nap.

Back outside Rhino readily rolled to Bolt's side. "What is it, boss?"

"I need your help clearing something up, Rhino. You watch a lot of TV. What does it usually mean if someone kisses you out of nowhere?" Bolt wasn't entirely sure how to phrase the question, but that was all he could think off.

Rhino looked confused "I think it means they like the person they kissed, but like, like like, not just normal like" the hamster bowed "Why? Did something happen?"

"Well, kind of. I was talking to Lightning, and, well, he claims he slipped, but he actually kissed me." Bolt explained. "I don't really know what to make of it, but it made me feel good and warm."

Rhino looked even more confused "Are you sure Boss? Maybe he did trip."

"If he tripped for real, I think he would have kissed me somewhere else. I don't think he knows I noticed, but he kissed me right on the muzzle." Bolt continued.

"Well, maybe he likes you Boss" the hamster smiled "But who wouldn't like you boss?"

"Enough with the 'boss' bit, Rhino. You only have to call me that when you're spying for me." Bolt then got an idea. "Actually... how would you like to go on a little mission for me right now?"

"Really!? Awesome! What's the mission boss" Rhino rolled around Bolt, many times.

"Alright, Rhino," Bolt dropped to a whisper again as he usually did when delivering mission requests. "What I want you to do is sneak over to Lightning's house. See if he's busy talking with Spirit. If he is, try and get any info you can that he might bring up about me. If he's by himself, go to him and just casually bring me up. See what you can get out of him. Think you can do that?"

"You can count on me Boss!" Rhino wasted no time rolling over the lawn, under the fence and onto the porch of Lightning's home. When he got to the door, he could see Spirit and Lightning talking through the small vents in it, but he couldn't hear through the door properly. So, for the time being, he opened up his little ball, pressed his ear against the door and listened.

"So you're telling me you actually kissed him and he didn't say anything?" Spirit asked, looking to his friend.

Lightning looked back at Spirit, looking a little mad. "It wasn't a kiss ok." The rott's voice lowered, "not a proper one anyway..."

"Lightning, I'm not going to tell anyone. You should know by now that you can trust me," Spirit told him. "So... how was it?"

"Well...it wasn't long..." Lightning averted his gaze, remembering the brief feeling of Bolt's lips against his; those soft lips, "but it was nice."

"I'm sure if he knew it was intentional, he might have said something back. I mean, what's not to love about you. You're big and strong," the rabbit said.

Lightning eyed the rabbit curiously for a second, but shook his head "...he's been living in a fake life for so long...he probably doesn't even know about these...feelings..." Lightning smirked a little "Not that I'm any better."

"Only way to know for sure is to tell him, Lightning." the rabbit said as he hopped up and down a few times, finally settling on the sofa.

"I can't do THAT... I might scare him off..."

Spirit shook his tiny head. "No chance of that. If he wasn't scared of you when he first met you, there's little chance he'd be scared of you over something like that. Besides, you don't have to actually say you like him. You could just ask him, in the hypothetical sense, what he might think if you did say you liked him."

"That's dumb, Spirit. He's not stupid; he's going to ask me WHY I'd ask that question" Lightning muttered "Then what hmm? I'll just hypothetically tell him I have a crush on him?"

"Lightning, did you ever stop to think that maybe he already knows what you feel but doesn't know how to react? Think about it. A bigger dog, no less one that's rather attractive looking, accidentally kisses him. For the difference in size between the two of you, he might easily have taken that for a sign of affection already, but he doesn't know what to say. It would be easier to just get it out in the open rather than to hide it. Besides, I bet you anything he feels the same."

Lightning sighed "Spirit...just...go away... I need to think."

Spirit gives a small gentle sigh before hopping toward the door, and through the dog door, immediately spotting Rhino. "What... what are you doing here?"

Rhino gasped, he had been caught "N-nothing...um..." Even as he spoke, his ear was still against the door.

"Did you... hear all that?" Spirit asked.

"A-Ah...n-no! I didn't hear anything!" the hamster sealed up his ball again, but didn't move.

Spirit hopped in front of the ball. "Rhino, listen. Lightning's really nervous about this. You have to promise you won't tell Bolt anything you've heard. He's not ready for Bolt to know he likes him in that way. Please."

"But...but Boss said I have to" Rhino muttered "Why? What's wrong?"

"Lightning's got his pride to worry about, Rhino," the rabbit told him. "He already feels weird admitting even to himself that he's in love, and he doesn't know how to handle it. Please, just tell him you didn't hear anything important. Make something up. I imagine if you're like me, you hate lying to Bolt, but this is something Lightning isn't ready to confront."

Rhino looked uncertainly at the door, then at Spirit "Is it for the good of our heroes?"

"Lightning's pride is at stake here, Rhino, so yes. For the time being, Bolt mustn't know the truth." Spirit told him.

Rhino paused, then nodded "Ok...I won't tell Bolt anything...for the greater good...bye." The hamster scurried back to his side of the fence, looking around a bit, spotting Bolt nearby.

Bolt immediately jumped to his feet. "Rhino! What's the report?"

Rhino felt horrible inside, but he kept telling himself 'for the greater good, for the greater good' He faced Bolt and saluted "Boss, Spirit and Lightning were talking, but not about you, I couldn't hear properly all the time, but I'm pretty sure it had something to do with why they moved out here...I didn't hear the reason though."

Bolt actually seemed rather believing of this and nodded. "Thank you Rhino."

"I'll be right back, Rhino. I need to talk to Mittens," Bolt then went inside without another word.

About a second later, Spirit hopped into the yard. "Is it clear, Rhino?"

"Yes...it is" Rhino muttered. He sighed "I can't believe I just lied to the boss!"

"Believe me, I know how you feel. I just lied to Lightning. I shouldn't have told you what happened in there, but he seems so torn up, and I needed to tell someone." Spirit shook his head. "I tried telling Lightning it was okay, but he just doesn't believe me."

"So...Lightning has a crush on Bolt?" the hamster asked.

"It's more than that, Rhino. Unless I'm mistaken, Lightning's completely in love." The rabbit looked back at the fence separating the yard as though he expected to see Lightning there. "I know he'd feel better if he just told Bolt the truth, but he doesn't feel he can."

"It's hard lying to your idol." Spirit said.

Rhino looked where Bolt had stood a few moments ago "I know...but I'm worried about Boss. He doesn't even know...or maybe he does...but it doesn't sound like he understands."

"Maybe you can explain to him that it's okay to have the feelings. You can still talk to him without actually giving away that you know the truth. Maybe you can nudge him toward talking to Lightning a little more." Spirit said. At that point though, he heard footsteps. "Uh... I should go."

"Bye" Rhino managed to squeak out.

Spirit hopped out of the yard just before Bolt came back out. He seemed a bit more depressed than when he had gone in though.

"Something wrong, Boss?" the hamster had completely forgotten he wasn't supposed to call Bolt Boss.

"Rhino, why are you still calling me Boss, your mission was completed." Bolt said with a sigh.

"You're my Idol Boss...I mean Bolt...anyway, you're not answering."

I can't stop thinking about that kiss, Rhino," the American Shepherd replied. "The more I think about it, the more I start thinking I might... I don't know. I think I might have feelings for him."

"Maybe you should...ya know, talk to him?"

"He just... I don't know Rhino." Bolt shook his head. "What if he doesn't like me like that? What if the kiss really was an accident?"

"You don't have to just say you like him...you could...I don't know, ask questions about what he likes, maybe get to know him better for a while." Rhino offered. "You've going to have to talk to him sometime right?"

"Well," Bolt sighed. "I suppose you're right."

"It's up to you Bolt, at least be his friend first, maybe he'll start to like you if you spend time together"

Bolt gulped somewhat loudly as he headed toward the fence once more. As he reached the fence, he called out. "Lightning... I need to talk to you."

There was no response for a while, but then a loud bark strung out "I'm inside..."

Bolt tiptoed to the edge of Lightning's porch. "Can you come outside?"

Another long pause strung out in the air, the wind blew softly at Bolt's fur "Sure..." slowly Lighting appeared from outside of the house. He looked somewhat nervous.

"Lightning, I... are you okay?" Bolt asked, noting the look on the Rott's face.

"I'm fine....it's nothing. Go on" Lighting avoided the subject.

Bolt grew silent for a second. "Lightning, I've been wondering... Do you remember how I talked about wanting to be your friend?"

"Yea" A single word left Lightning's maw.

"Well, you see... Other than Mittens and Rhino, I don't have many real friends that don't just like me because I was on TV. You seemed different somehow. I've been thinking about earlier. It's just... I don't know. I really like you, Lightning, and I'm not sure why." Obviously Bolt was lost in his own feelings.

Lighting tried, really really hard, but he just couldn't stop even the smallest traces of a smile tugging at his lips hearing those words "Well, maybe it's because I'm another dog friend, hmm?"

"You're... more than a friend, Lightning," Bolt said, almost in a whisper.

"Alright, so I'm an important dog friend then" Each word attacked at the rott's heart, forcing more and more of his smile even though he pushed it down at every turn. He couldn't deny his feelings, but he couldn't show them full on...at least...maybe not yet.

Bolt just stood there. There were thousands of questions he wanted to ask the dog, but nothing would come out. He just remained staring as his ears folded flat against his head.

Lighting smirked "The cute puppy face huh? Works for you."

Bolt snapped out of the trance he was in and looked up. "Huh, what? Oh... god, did you just see that?" Bolt blushed.

'Good god he looks even cuter when he blushes' thought lightening "Hey, sometimes people do it when they aren't thinking. I know I have, but mine isn't as cute as yours."

Bolt continued looking into the larger dog's eyes. Something about them made it impossible for Bolt to turn away. "I'll bet you have just as cute a look as I do. Bet it's even cuter." Bolt said, making the comment as if he hoped Lightning might take the hint.

"Is that a challenge Bolt, the super dog?" A playful glint formed in the Rottweiler eye.

"Try me," Bolt said, a smile on his face, though it appeared as more of a smirk.

"Well, My ear's can't fall flat like yours can" Lightning smiled for a second, then it turn into a pout. His ears indeed didn't fall, but drooped, the one more than the other making it look like it had folded itself. His ice blue eyes soften and melted to crystal clear water. He licked his quivering lips and stared at Bolt with this face, paws obediently to his front as if waiting a master.

"Oh... my god," Bolt just looked into the dog's eyes. Just looking at the dog the way he appeared now put a tear in Bolt's eyes. "That... that's adorable."

Lighting's face returned to normal "I still think yours is cuter. But I guess I had more practice. Had to look good for the cameras and all"

Bolt tried to shake off the feeling, but now it seemed to have burned into his memory. He had to turn away to keep from crying.

"Something wrong?" Lighting hopped down from the porch, looking at Bolt with concern

"No..." Bolt said wiping away his tears. "I just don't see that look from others that often. The last time I saw anything like that was with Penny when she saw I was finally back after being gone so long."

"Listen, Lightning, I'm sorry but... I need to go," Bolt said, still not daring to look back into the dog's eyes.

Lighting watched the other dog pad away, but something deep inside him pushed out "Wait!" Lighting barked out as Bolt reached the fence.

Bolt turned around, trying hard not to cry. "Yeah?" He sniffed a tear and spoke more confidently. "Yeah?"

Lighting padded over to Bolt, he didn't look the dog in the eyes "Maybe...we should hang out some time, huh?"

Bolt looked at Lightning. "I.... uh.... Lightning..." Bolt stammered.

"Yes?" Lighting looked at Bolt now, a pleading look in his eyes, desperation leaking out.

Bolt spun around to look at the larger dog, then walked up to him and kissed him on the muzzle directly.

To say the least, Lightning was surprised. But not enough to jerk back. Simply put, he was in doggy cloud nine.

"That..." Bolt said. "Was no accident. And I know when you did it, it wasn't an accident either. Was it?"

Lightning paused; with a very love struck grin he shook his head.

"I didn't think so." Bolt said with a smile, giving Lightning another kiss, this time being a bit more loving.

It was at this point that Spirit came out of the house. He was about to call out to Lightning, but grew silent when he saw Bolt.

Rhino was watching from the window. He squealed "This. Is. SO. COOL!"

Lightning melted into the lip lock, making sure that in his aroused daze he kissed back. He was no expert at it, but he tried.

The two dogs held the kiss for several seconds before Bolt broke the kiss. "Lightning... I think I'm in love."

"Wow, what a coincidence, I think I'm in love too. What are the odds of that" Lighting winked.

"Really," Bolt said with a smile. "With who? Bet the one you like isn't a really strong and sweet Rottweiler."

"No, bet yours isn't an adorable little American Shepherd with a heart of gold"

"Sounds like one lucky dog," Bolt commented, putting his paw over Lightning's.

"Can we stop acting stupid now?" Lightning asked, the tingling in his paw was there again.

"That depends," came a voice behind them. "On what you call 'acting stupid.'" The voice was Spirit.

"Go away, I'm having a moment" Lightning said.

"This is like some ultimate best episode made up but was never put on air!" Rhino rolled along the grass and joined the little party.

"Rhino!" Bolt was caught off guard and fell forward, kissing Lightning again.

"OH yea, that's the stuff" Lighting muttered after the kiss.

Spirit laughed as he and Rhino left once more, leaving the two dogs to chat.

Lighting was smiling goofily.

"I love that smile," Bolt commented.

"I love those lips" Lighting commented back.

Bolt took a step closer to Lightning, wanting to nuzzle the bigger dog's fur, but stopped when he noticed something about himself that he'd never felt before.

"Hmmm, looks like you got a boner Bolt..." Lighting was actually proud of himself, knowing he was the initial reason

"A what?" Bolt asked. "That's just my penis, but why did it poke out. I don't need to use the bathroom..."

"You don't know what a boner is?" Lighting asked curiously.

"Apparently not," Bolt said, confused.

"Well Bolt, A penis has two uses really" Lighting started getting embarrassed a bit. He'd never really had to explain something like that before.

"Go on," Bolt said, trying to ignore the odd feeling he was getting in his crotch.

"When someone is...well, sexually excited..." Lightning paused there. "You do know what sex or mating is right?"

"Well, kind of..." Bolt said uncertainly. "I've never had sex before though."

"Clearly" Lightning smirked "Well, let's just say, that when you WANT to have sex, lots of blood goes to your penis, and makes it harden. It's basically saying you wanna have sex" Lightning grinned and padded a step closer, licking Bolt's cheek "Which means..."

Bolt could feel his cock stiffen, then it twitched.

"Ohhh... I like that," Bolt yipped playfully.

"You know, when I sniffed your butt, I got that feeling too" Lightning continued and softly licked at Bolt's cheek.

Bolt's cock twitched again. "So what happens after my penis gets hard"

Lightning paused, looked around a bit, then smiled "Bolt...do me a favor and lay on your back."

"Why," Bolt asked plainly.

"It'll help me show you."

Bolt nodded and rolled over onto his back. His stiffened cock poked upward into the air.

Lighting watched the rather large piece of meat stick up in the air. he padded over Bolt, standing over him "It's going to stay hard until you have sex, or till you calm down enough for the want of sex to subside" Lightning licked along Bolt's muzzle "But I plan on the first option, personally" he whispered and gestured to his own blackened cock, knot and all.

"Wow," Bolt said. "Yours is huge."

"Thank you" Lightning whispered near Bolt's ear. He leaned down slightly, so his member rubbed up against Bolt's tailhole, and at the same time Bolt's own length "How does that feel Bolt?"

"That... feels nice," Bolt said, cooing softly at the feeling.

Lighting leaned only his muzzle down, and made soft kisses at his muzzle area, from nose to cheek to lip. His member stayed in its rocking motion, leaking pre slightly.

"Whatever you're doing," the American Shepherd replied, "keep it up."

"I'm pleasuring you Bolt; an act only lovers can truly share." Lightning whispered. Lightning's frame seemed to drag along the smaller dog's body. His length no longer rubbing at Bolt's tailhole as it moved further away, the rottie licked his away down to Bolt's chest, to his abs, and finally to the crotch, where he gave Bolt's length several licks.

"Oh god. Light... ning. I..." the dog twitched several times.

Lightning moved lower still, sniffing Bolt's tailhole once more, letting out a moan at it and licking along the pucker.

Bolt seemed trapped in his own feeling, not moving but more loving every moment of what the larger dog did. He moaned and whimpered softly as he felt the licks.

After a good rimming, Lighting crawled back over Bolt, his tip at Bolt's entrance. "I'm going to enter you now Bolt...it's probably the best part of sex...are you ready?"

Still feeling excited, Bolt gave a slow, simple nod. "Mmhmm"

"It may hurt a little" Lightning warned, and carefully and slowly pushed his way inside Bolt. He groaned softly "Bolt...you're so...tight" the dog moaned loudly, pressing his lips against Bolt's.

Bolt bit down on his lip and whimpered a bit. "So biiig."

Lighting managed to hilt himself after a while, without his knot. The rottie leaned down and licked Bolt's lips affectionately "You need a moment to adjust, love."

"It... feels nice." Bolt said. "Big... but nice."

Even so, Lightning waited a few moments. He passed the time by licking and nuzzling Bolt softly, and pawing gently at Bolt.

"Lightning, I.... I love you." Bolt whispered.

"I love you too Bolt" Lightning whispered back, pulling out slowly and thrusting inside his new lover, over and over again, at a relaxed but passionate pace.

Finally, Bolt's body allowed him to relax, allowing Lightning's knot to slide right in.

"Oh WOW," Bolt exclaimed feeling it.

Lightning moaned louder and louder, sliding in and out of his lover's hot ass, his knot going with, adding to the pleasure. He moaned and growled with delight, and it wasn't long before his balls started to tighten

"This feels won...der...ful," Bolt said, panting with each thrust.

"B...Bolt....I...I'm about...to, AHH!" Lightning howled loudly as his seed spread through Bolt's ass, knot deeply thrusted inside.

Bolt felt this and his eyes opened wide. "What did you just do..."

"That's called 'cumming' Bolt. My sperm is inside you now. You're no female, so you will have no children...but that's basically the end point of sex...but I see you have yet to cum my dear doggy...let me help" Reaching down, Lightning pawed at Bolt's pulsing length. He could not grab it of course, but he could rub his paw pads against it.

This made Bolt yip in pleasure as he thrust upward into the paw. "Feels nice," he whimpered again.

Lightning continued his work, rolling his hips a bit for added effect and licking sweetly at Bolt's neck, murring at his afterglow.

Bolt continued to thrust into the Rott's muzzle, slowly beginning to feel something inside him. "Lightning... my cock... I feel something."

"It's coming love...don't resist it, let it come. It's a wonderful feeling."

Bolt let himself relax. Sure enough, he felt something gush forward that made him shiver and shake. "Ohhh Liiiiightniiiiing."

The Rottweiler smiled as the white substance coated some of his and Bolt's fur. He licked along Bolt's cheeks softly "How did it feel?"

"It felt remarkable, Lightning. That was the single greatest thing I've ever felt in my life." The American Shepherd rolled to his feet and stood to look at the Rott before licking his nose. "Thank you so much for sharing that with me."

"If I'm having my way, you're getting more of it in future...love."

"I certainly wouldn't mind that," Bolt said with a soft nuzzle.

"Bolt...will you be my mate?" Lightning asked, still slightly nervous of the possible threat Bolt would say no.

"No," Bolt said with a smile. "I won't."

"Why?" Lightning tried to keep his composure, and it was working so far.

"Because... I want to be even more than that. I want to be the one who's always there for you. Who you can talk to when you're sad. Who you can come to when you're afraid. No, Lightning, I won't be your mate; I'll be your lover.... forever and ever." Bolt then jumped up and kissed Lightning once more.

Lightning's composure was officially broken then. Behind him his stubby tail wagged violently. IN the distance Rhino watched, half blushing "Boss found love..."

"Looks to be more than that, Rhino," Spirit said, hopping up behind him. "Looks like they just became mates."

"Lovers" Rhino corrected.

"Same difference," Spirit retorted.

"Not to Bolt" Rhino smirked.

"What Bolt just did is called 'sweet talking', Rhino. I used to see Lightning do it to other girl dogs on the show all the time." Spirit replied.

"Oh who cares, they're together now" Rhino watched the other dogs, still lapping at each other.

"Think we should go congratulate the happy couple?" Spirit asked.

"...Nah, we messed in their love life too much already."

Bolt turns to see the two and barks out happily. "Hey guys!"

"Well there goes our cover," Spirit said.

Lighting smirked at Bolt's energy and chuckled softly.

Rhino rolled over "Yea boss?"

Bolt turned to look at Rhino. "Pretty sneaky there, Rhino. Keeping it secret that Lightning loved me. I've gotta hand it to you. Nice job."

The littler hamster squeaked "Spirit made me do it!"

Spirit slowly hopped into view of the others.

"This true, Sprit?" Lightning asked "Keeping it secret from me?"

"Okay, so maybe I was. But I didn't know what else to do."

"Well...anyway" Lightning looked at Bolt, a soft smile "Let's go play for a while Bolt...as in, normal dog playing."

"Sounds great," Bolt said, looking to the hamster and the rabbit. "Later you two!"

And so they did. There was ample playing space after all, being in the country and what not. They took turns running after each other, trying to find where the other had hidden, and even tussled some on the ground. All the while being affectionate with one another, small licks and kisses along the way. The day seemed to zoom by, and before they knew it the sun was setting and they were both tired. They managed to get back to their home area, but they didn't go to either porch. Instead, they found a nice cozy looking spot in the yard, and cuddled around each other, Lightning laying protectively around Bolt. They slept peacefully that night, Bolt having become a lover, and Lightning similarly. As the stars shone and streaked along the night sky, happy dreams floated in the minds of two dogs.

DISCOVERIES [BOLT-THREE]

Bolt woke up the next morning with a big smile on his face as he snuggled his bigger lover. He laid there for several seconds recalling last night's activities which made him smile. He got up shortly after and looked over toward his house. "Rhino, thanks for your help," he said, whispering, even though he knew Rhino couldn't hear him from where he was.

Even so, there sat rhino, on the windowsill of the house, watching around the area, spotting the coupling and smiling "Boss is lucky"

Spirit, who had actually spent a fair amount of the night hopping between the two yards, had his own thoughts about everything that had gone on. As he looked into the window, he saw Rhino and waved his paw.

Rhino waved back, keeping his smile, but for a different reason.

Spirit then decided, since his friend was busy cuddling that he'd take some time to chat with Rhino. He waved his paw to usher the hamster outside.

Rhino nodded softly, and rolled his way off the sill, onto the floor, out the door and onto the lawn, where he found spirit "Morning."

"Mornin' Rhino," the rabbit replied. "Sleep alright?"

"Yes, how about you?"

"I slept pretty well myself, but I also spent a lot of time thinking about something else," Spirit told him. "With Bolt and Lightning together now, what do you suppose will happen to us?"

The hamster looked off into the distance "Not sure really."

It was then that Spirit froze, looking at Rhino. Something seemed a bit odd. "Rhino..."

"Hmm?" Rhino looked back "What is it?"

"Rhino, why do you always stay in that ball?" the rabbit asked.

Rhino blinked, then blushed and scratched the back of his head "Oh, Uh, I kinda just been inside it for a long time. Longer than I can remember. I guess I just grew with it."

"Would you mind, maybe, coming out of that ball... just for a minute?" Spirit asked.

"Huh, oh, sure I guess. I don't really mind" Rhino unlatched the opening to the little plastic hamster ball, and slowly, somewhat hesitantly, crawled out.

Spirit looked at the hamster with a slight smile. "You look much nicer without that ball covering you."

Rhino blushed a bit more "Thanks."

Somehow it seemed as though Spirit wanted to say more, but all he could do was stare. Was it possible? Was he actually developing feelings for Rhino as Lightning had developed feelings for Bolt?

Rhino blinked, oblivious to it all "Are you ok Spirit?"

"Uh, yeah... I think so..." Spirit replied. "So uh.... you like the fresh air," he asked, trying to change the subject.

Rhino smiled a bit more, seeming to forget the previous few moments "Oh yea. I forget how nice it is to have all the air and not 25% of it filtered in all the time" The hamster sat on his rump.

"Yeah," the rabbit said. "You're beautiful...." he gasped. "I mean it.... it's beautiful. The fresh air...."

Rhino flicked his ears, but fortunate for Spirit, he didn't hear it "I guess."

Spirit let out a sigh. 'Good, he didn't hear me'.

A few seconds away, Lighting smirked as he watched the two, bolt beside. They had woken up already, the little rodent conversation sparked their interest. He looked to his lover "You hear that?"

"I did," Bolt said. "It sounds like you're not the only one who was in love. Think we should say something?"

"Let's see how Spirit does first. I wanna see how HE like it when he's busy stumbling like an oaf...like I was over you." He smirked bashfully at his little doggy companion.

Bolt nodded then dropped back into silence, listening.

"Uh... Rhino... would you, maybe, wanna go on a walk... like, without your ball?" The rabbit did indeed seem very nervous, and he was beginning to understand how Lightning felt.

"I guess that couldn't hurt" Rhino smiled, innocently. Clearly he was exactly like Bolt as well, having no idea why the other was being weird.

Spirit gave a heavy sigh, and headed toward the edge of the yard. As he did, he noticed that the two dogs were wide awake now. 'Did they hear all that,' he thought to himself. He'd worry about that later though because right now he wanted to enjoy a little fun time with Rhino.

Rhino scampered on beside Spirit as he hopped "So, you never told us. Why DID you move over here?"

"Well, actually, I guess you could say it's for the same reason you guys did. With Lightning out of the spotlight, our owner wanted to move someplace nice and quiet, so we moved here." The rabbit hopped alongside Rhino, smiling, though nervous, as they headed to the park area that was on the corner of the street near their house.

Rhino smirked "You know, I've never been to the park here before, boss and mittens have, but I didn't think I could have much fun rolling around in a ball all the time."

"There's a lot of fun to be had at the park if you have the right friend with you," Spirit said, trying the same thing he did with Lightning to get him to relax, using the 'friend' terminology. "Friends... good friends... make being anywhere nice."

"Oh I know, I have a speech about it" Rhino smiled, remembering the time where he shouted at mittens about friends sticking together.

"It's amazing how close friends can get in such a short time. One minute you're friends... the next... well, you know." Spirit continued.

The hamster nodded with a beaming smile.

"Hey Rhino... if you were to, say, want to try to get another animal's attention.... like Lightning did with Bolt.... how do you think you'd do it?" Spirit asked, trying not to sound too obvious.

Rhino looked a bit puzzled "Oh...well, I don't know really. I didn't watch much romance on TV, if that's what you're talking about" Rhino blinked again, but then gave the rabbit a shifty perv look "Do you like someone?"

"Well, sort of," Spirit said, trying to cover up for the fact that he knew he was about to be caught. "I just wanted to know what I should do. I mean, what advice did you give Bolt?"

"I just said to tell the person, that's all" Rhino smirked at Spirit

"Sooo....who is it?"

"I... I can't tell you," Spirit stammered. He then turned and hopped a few feet away, looking rather shaken.

Rhino blinked "S-Spirit, hey, wait up!" The hamster scurried after Spirit

Spirit stopped and turned back toward Rhino. "Y... yeah?"

Rhino had to catch his breath when he got close enough "If you don't want to tell me that's fine I guess. We're buds right?"

"Of course we are," Spirit said. 'I just don't know what to say right now,' he thought.

As Spirit made to turn back around, he actually tripped, something that was rather uncommon for rabbits, and a clear sign he was getting nervous.

"Hey...it's ok if you don't want to talk about it. I won't ask anymore" Rhino said.

"Rhino," Spirit said in a low voice. "If I said that... I liked you, would that surprise you.

Rhino eyes widen slightly. He paused, but then smirked "Well, sorta, but then you must have bad taste for liking me."

"Why do you say that," Spirit asked, seeming to have somehow forgotten that he was trying to avoid the subject.

"I don't really think of myself as 'desirable'" The hamster chuckled

"Who said anything about you being 'desirable'? I was just saying I liked you," the rabbit said quickly, as if trying to cover for his words, though he knew it was too late.

Rhino shrugged "I wouldn't really mind that much. It's a little weird, but I won't mind if that happened."

Spirit gulped really hard, then, almost inaudibly, he whispered. "I think I love you..."

Rhino didn't hear actually "What?"

From out of the blue, someone barked "HE SAID HE LOVES YOU RHINO!"

Both rodents could only look back and see both dogs smirking at them.

"And this is the part of the episode where you fall into his paws and kiss him senseless," Lighting smirked.

Spirit whipped around and looked dumbstruck as Lightning and Bolt stood there. "LIGHTNING!!!!" He then turned around and looked at the hamster. "Okay, so yeah, now that you know.... I think I've fallen in love with you. I don't even understand why. You're just... so cute."

Lightning chuckled softly, saying nothing more and nuzzling Bolt. Rhino had an awestruck look on his face.

Bolt spoke up now. "Go on Rhino, admit it. You like him too. Trust me; it'll feel a lot better once you do."

Rhino gasped at Bolt. "What do you MEAN by that? I never said anything like that!" He was clearly just avoiding the subject.

Spirit was still standing there, waiting to see what Rhino thought about what was now out in the open. Bolt, however, took a more direct approach, walked up to Rhino and nudged him closer to Spirit.

Rhino offed at the large nudge, leaving him no space to run away. He looked at Spirit, and then down to the ground and held his paws together "Well...maybe I do..."

Spirit just beamed. "Really?"

"Sorta..."

Spirit practically leapt forward, wrapping his small paws around what he could of the hamster. "I'm so relieved!"

"H-hey" Rhino half protested, half melted.

Lighting smirked at Bolt "Don't' they make a cute couple?"

Bolt smirked back. "Almost as cute as us."

Spirit heard this and turned back around. "Almost?"

Lightning smirked "Yes, almost." He looked to his Bolt, and kissed his cheek "Bolt's cuter than both of you put together."

Spirit growled a little, but then turned back to Rhino. "I... I love you, Rhino."

Rhino blinked "...I...Spirit...I...I need a little time...ok? Can we...just spend some time together first....I'm...new to this."

Bolt let his voice drop to a whisper and turned to Lightning. "Ha! I win the bet. You said it would be Spirit that was nervous."

Lighting smirked "I don't mind. They're both nervous the way I see it."

Spirit looked at Rhino for a minute, then back to Bolt and Lightning, then, tearing up a little, took off hopping rather quickly, feeling saddened that things didn't go as he'd hoped.

Rhino blinked "Hey, Spirit!" He looked back at the dogs, about to say something about how they just interfered, but decided against it and scurried after Spirit. When he got close enough, he grabbed Spirit's paw, tightly. "Spirit...I never said I didn't love you...I just need time to get used to it..."

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said anything at all. That's one problem Lightning used to point out with me. As a rabbit, I always rush things." Spirit looked down at his feet.

"Spirit, it's ok. I'm glad you said something, really, I am. C'mon...just give me a chance huh?" The hamster comically hopped closer "...Please? Just give me a little while..."

Spirit bit his lower lip and looked up at the hamster cutely.

Rhino took the other paw in his "I'm willing...to try....if you want, I mean."

"If it bothers you, I'm sorry. It's just... you look so cute rolling around in that little ball, I wanted to see what you looked like outside of it... to see if I still thought you were cute... and I do." the rabbit said, looking at the hamster's paw.

"It doesn't bother me...ok, maybe a little, but I'm over it" Rhino smiled, no a fake smile, a real one.

"I don't really know what else to say," Spirit told him. "You just look so cute. And your fur... it's beautiful."

"Then don't say anything" Rhino said.

"Rhino... thank you," Spirit said calmly.

"Didn't I just say don't say anything," Rhino chuckled.

"Well if I just hop around saying nothing then I'd be boring," Spirit remarked.

"I like it when you hop."

Hearing this, for no apparent reason whatsoever, Spirit began hopping circles around Rhino. By now, Bolt started chuckling and left with Lightning.

Lighting grinned and nuzzled Bolt as they padded along "Geez, they're worse than us."

"Well," Bolt laughed. "I don't think they've had sex yet, so we're still one up on them."

"Heh" Lighting sat down on a nice little spot "And yesterday you hardly knew what it was."

"Shut up and kiss me, big boy," Bolt snickered, looking like he was going to pounce his lover.

"Make me, super dog," Lightning taunted.

Bolt hopped forward, actually managing to knock the larger dog onto his back, but rather than make the attempt to kiss him, it appeared Bolt had something else in mind, as a look at his crotch showed his penis had emerged.

"Either kiss me... or you can suck my cock love. Your choice," Bolt laughed.

"Can't I do both?" Lighting asked "Ya know, kiss your first, and then get to the good stuff later?"

"Well.... Okay," Bolt said before he leaned in to kiss the Rott on the muzzle.

Lighting smiled brightly and locked their lips together, his paws reaching up to paw lightly at Bolt's sides.

Being kissed only seemed to arouse Bolt further, as his cock began to ooze precum. Still, he held the kiss, embracing the feel of his lover's lips against his.

Lighting grinned and kissed his lover dog for a little while longer, before letting go for a second "You're a real horn dog aren't you? If I knew that I would have said something long ago."

"What can I say? You know how to get me going," Bolt added as he stretched a bit, exposing his full cock.

"Gimme some of that meat baby" the Rott murred against Bolt's lips.

"How bad do ya want it," the American Shepherd teased.

"Bad enough that if you keep teasing me, I'm getting on you."

"Oh yeah, well what if I just get up and..." Bolt climbs off the Rott. "decide to walk away?"

Lighting smirked and firmly pounced Bolt down to the ground "Then I'll just have to hump your tight little ass for neglecting the dog you love."

"Ohh.... gonna punish your doggie," Bolt said, definitely aroused now.

"Punish...or pleasure him. Whichever you pick to call it," Lightning leaned down and kissed his lover's nose. "That depends...would you like that?"

Bolt wagged his butt a bit. "What do you think?"

"I think, that my cute little bolt wants a good pounding" Lighting grinned widely, his cock fully grown out and pressing against Bolt's.

"Ohhhh... I think... you're right," Bolt whimpered, dripping pre.

Lighting grinned, lowering a bit, a gently sliding in his lover, inch by inch

Bolt whimpered and moaned with each little bit. "Oh Lightning, you're so huge."

"Is that a bad thing?" Lighting whispered, hilting his shaft in his mate, letting it pulse against the inner walls

As the cock in him pushed further, more and more pre dripped out. "No, not at all." Bolt now had his tongue sticking out.

"Then lay still" Lightning whispered "And relax" Taking his own time, the Rott pulled out gently and carefully. Th next thrust was more powerful, but still gentle. And Lightning kept that pace, all the while nibbling and kissing his little doggy mate.

Bolt couldn't help but squirm a bit with the loving he was getting. It felt so good to him, and just from the thrusting, he was starting to feel his own orgasm growing close. "Lightning... lover... i think..."

"Don't hold back," were Lightning's only words.

Bolt did, in fact, try to hold out as long as he could before his cock erupted in a mass of sticky yet warm American Shepherd cum. He moaned and sighed as his body twitched over and over.

"There's a good boy" Lightning grinned.

"Please..." Bolt said, trying to catch his breath. "Love, I need you to cum in me."

"Oh, and why's that?" Even as he spoke his thrusting hadn't stopped

"Because, I need your seed inside me," Bolt whimpered, using his cutest whimper and even resorting to the begging face.

"Hmm... I just can't resist you can I?" Lighting muttered, picking up his own pace, his balls and knot slapping against Bolt's prostate.

"Ahh... aahhh..." Bolt, it seemed, could no longer form words as the fucking from his Rott lover continued. He only shivered and shook as he felt himself get slammed over and over.

The big dog hammered Bolt. "So cute you are," he muttered, pre leaking heavily out his cock. He was close...too close.

Bolt let out a loud, loving howl, seeing the expression on his lover's face, which, he hoped, would aid him in cumming.

"Ugh....aaaahhH!' Lighting couldn't take any more. In seconds his seed exploded out into his lover, painting his insides in multiple shots.

"Ohhhh god.... that feels so good," Bolt cried out. "I love you so much, Lightning!"

"I love you too" Lighting rested his body on Bolt's, his fur matting with some sweat and Bolt's cum.

CREATURE COMFORTS [BOLT-FOUR]

"Hey...Boss?" Rhino scurried along the grass, ball forgotten completely, to where the American Shepard lay. Lightning wasn't around, presumably sleeping in his own house for the previous night. He prodded the sleeping dog's nose "Boss?"

Half asleep, Bolt looked up to see the blurred figure of the hamster before him. He wiped the sleepiness out of his eyes before standing. "Yeah, Rhino? What is it? Is something wrong?"

Rhino shifted his small feet slightly, his paws behind his back "Do you think...I'm ready?"

"Ready for what, Rhino?" Bolt questioned, actually already knowing what he meant, but asking anyway to see just how Rhino would say it.

Rhino looked down, feeling awkward and embarrassed. "For a...you know...a...relationship"

"Rhino, if there's anything I've learned from you; it's that anything is possible.... The impossible can become possible..."

"If you're awesome..." Rhino muttered "But that's the point! I'm NOT awesome. You are"

Bolt gave Rhino a bit of a smirk. "Rhino," he said as he looked at him, "there's never been a more awesome hamster."

Rhino blinked up at Bolt "...Really?"

"Hey, not many other hamsters would have the guts to come up to their hero and call him legendary." Bolt said.

"You think so?" Rhino looked up, he had to admit. Bolt looked a lot clearer without the ball blurring his vision.

"I know so. Rhino, you've got more courage and guts than I've seen in a lot of other animals. You can tackle this. No problem at all." Bolt knew that Rhino loved hearing the encouragement, and always did his best to give a pep talk when needed, as Rhino always did for him.

Rhino started smiling "...Alright" He jumped up "Yea" and turned around, took a very deep breath and muttered to himself "I can do this" over and over and over again as he scurried along the grass to the other house

From inside the house, it appeared Spirit was now having a bit of conflict himself, still mulling over the words Rhino said during his blurting out of his feelings for the hamster. Turning to look at his friend, he hopped over and tapped lightly on the sleeping Rott's paw.

Lighting grunted in annoyance, blinking only one eye open, as he normally would "...What?"

"Lightning... I... Do you think I was too forward with Rhino?" The rabbit asked, his ears drooping down.

The Rott blinked that one eye "...what do you mean?"

"Well, I mean... yesterday... I just kinda blurted everything out... and he definitely didn't seem ready for it." Spirit added. "I just think... maybe I went into things a bit fast. You're always saying I have a habit of doing it."

"Well, maybe you did. What do you think?"

"I don't know," Spirit said. "Do you think I should go apologize? Tell him that I didn't mean to pressure him? I mean... I think my feelings are real... but maybe what I did... I just did it too fast."

"Spirit, just...stop thinking"

The rabbit looked to his friend. "What do you mean?"

"You're thinking too much. You're putting every single little thing in the way of something that should be simple enough. I know I can't really speak for it, but seriously. Why complicate something so much that it doesn't make sense anymore" Lighting sat up "If you like him, and he likes you. End of story. If he wants to take his time, then let him take his time with you. End of story"

"So... what you're saying is..." The rabbit looked at Lightning, confused a little.

"Stop worrying about it all, and just DO what makes you happy." Lightning tried to imitate Spirit's voice "Do you think I should apologize? Do you think I pressured him? What should I do next?" Lightning shook his head "Just GO and talk to HIM about it. If you want to apologize, apologize. Do whatever you KNOW will make Rhino happy, not think."

Spirit nodded, and without another word, turned to the front door, and hopped through the dog door outside, only to see Rhino by the fence. "Hey, Rhino!"

Lighting walked past the two of the "Have fun" he muttered, and clearly headed to wish good morning to his mate.

Rhino blinked at Lightning disappeared "...Um...morning?"

"Listen," Spirit hopped over. "About yesterday... well... I sorta sprung things on you a bit fast. If you wanna... I dunno... take things a bit slower... that's fine."

Rhino paused for a second "I...I'd like that Spirit..."

"I'm... really sorry for putting you on the spot like that. Lightning says I do it a lot. I guess I've done it so much in life I don't realize it anymore."

"It's fine...I was just nervous..."

The rabbit looked away for a second. "So... what brings you to the fence?" Spirit asked, trying to come up with a way to change the topic, not actually knowing Rhino was there for almost the same reason.

"Well...I just wanted to...ya know, hang out with you...taking it slow and all" the hamster blushed "Ya know...if ya want to. We could just sit on the couch and talk for a while, or we could watch T.V. Or we could go for another walk"

"I... er..." Spirit stammered. "Whatever you like."

"It doesn't have to be something I like" Rhino padded just a bit closer, and took Spirit's paw "We can do it together, that's what matters right?"

Spirit blushed hard. He took Rhino's paw, but as he did, he felt something strange; something he hadn't felt before... not in a long time. He had no idea what it was, but it was a rather pleasant feeling. The feeling though, it appeared, seemed to have put Spirit in a trance.

"...You have very pretty fur Spirit...It's like snow"

Spirit heard the words, but he still didn't react beyond a small whimper that was only just barely audible.

"Hey...spirit, you ok" Rhino reached forward and pressed his other paw to the rabbit's chest

Spirit shook back to reality and nodded, though the feeling hadn't gone away. "I'm fine Rhino... I just... feel a little funny."

"Funny? Funny how?"

"Like... well... like my body wants something... I don't know what," Spirit seemed confused with even his own words. In truth, he didn't know how to describe what he was feeling at that particular moment.

Rhino blinked, equally confused. For some reason, he hugged the rabbit

This sent a shiver down Spirit's backbone as he returned the hug, holding the smaller creature. This seemed to have intensified the feeling within him and he let out another small whimper.

"Spirit...are you...horny?"

Spirit immediately jerked back. "I... um.... I... er... Oh god..." The rabbit turned away, blushing through his white fur.

"You are aren't you?" The hamster smirked deviously "So it's true what they say about rabbits"

"Look, you have to understand something, Rhino." Spirit looked him straight in the eye. "While it may be true that most rabbits are avid horndogs at best, I try really hard not to show that side of me because it only leads to trouble. The fact that I can't with you... well I think that's my brain trying to tell me something."

"Whoa whoa whoa, wait. You can't be with me?"

"That's not what I said, Rhino," Spirit sighed. "Let me try that again. Yes, most rabbits are well known for being horny all the time, and that does apply to me too, but, I'm holding back. I really don't want to do something you aren't ready for, but I'm finding it hard to avoid my instincts, especially considering you're so.... so..."

"So what?"

Spirit gulped. "Hot."

"Oh" Rhino grinned "You think I'm hot?"

"Mmhmm" the rabbit bit his lip.

"Well, I think you're cute" Rhino said "And by the way, how does a rabbit act when it's horny?"

"You.... really want to find out?" the rabbit asked.

"I'm just asking" Rhino smirked.

"Well, lets just say, it makes other animals jealous to see a rabbit fuck."

"Then, doesn't that make me lucky" Rhino said, snickering

"I think you are quite lucky.... you not only have one rabbit's foot.... you have two!" Spirit chuckled at his own joke.

"So...what would happen if I pinned you down and we started making out?"

"I might have to let my.... urges kick in." the rabbit smirked back.

"And do what?" Rhino asked again, clearly wanting Spirit to be more specific.

"I might have to give you a fucking you won't soon forget... But I don't have to worry about that happening, because we're taking this slow." Spirit gave a huge grin.

"Oh really? And what if those instincts decide to kick themselves in while we're, I dunno, cuddling or sleeping"

Spirit just stood there, by now the feeling to want to jump Rhino was near breaking point and it wouldn't take much more prodding to push him off the edge.

"Then I'd have to find you."

"Find me?"

"Hey.... you know, for someone who wants to take this relationship slow, you sure are pressing this sex issue a bit," Spirit commented, making one last effort to shut down the conversation before he lost control.

"Sorry. It was just a bit interesting..." Rhino turned a bit "Um...so, you want to go for a walk or..."

"Y...yeah, a walk," the rabbit said nervously, glad to see the subject seemed to have been dropped.

Rhino smirked and slowly made his way down the porch and onto the grass

Spirit followed him quietly, though the thought was still in his head.

"Rhino," Spirit looked at him. "If something... did happen.... I mean with you and me... would you.... I mean... If I did just decide to let my rabbit instincts take over... Would it scare you?"

"...Maybe, maybe not. It's sex right? Chances are I'm gonna be feeling pretty good"

Spirit's face changed from a solemn expression to an awkward smile as his ears twitched.

"But let's stop talking about it, huh?" Rhino said as he walked along in the grass "...But no...I won't be scared..."

"You're absolutely right," Spirit said. "No more talk...."

"So Spirit...how did you get involved with Lightning anyway? Was it just random?"

"I said no more talk," Spirit said, this time with a hint of lust in his voice. He hopped forward knocking the hamster on his back.

Rhino eeped in shock, knocked clean to the ground with the thud "Spirit"

The smile on Spirit's face widened. "I want to share this with you, Rhino. I really think you'll like it."

"Can you give me a second tough...you kinda have me in an uncomfortable position here...physically"

Immediately, Spirit got up, though he was extremely horny now.

Rhino shifted slightly, letting his legs spread a bit, and giving him a little bit more space "...ok"

Spirit hopped back over and looked down at the hamster with a smile. "I'm... sorry about that..."

"It's ok..." Rhino whispered

Spirit maintained the smile as his rabbit cock slowly poked out.

"You just surprised me is all...and, if I'm gonna be honest, I'm a little nervous"

Spirit nodded. "It's alright. I'll go easy." The rabbit gently put his cock to the hamster's small tailhole.

Rhino clamped his eyes shit "...o-ok" he muttered softly, shuddering at the feel of another male's cock near his ass.

The very tip of the rabbit's small cock then pushed inside of the hamster, spreading its' hole a bit wider.

Rhino groaned loudly. He was tight, very very tight. What else could anyone expect "S-spirit"

"Yes, Rhino," the rabbit said, stopping where he was. "Are you alright?"

"It...hurts a little" Rhino whimpered

"Want me to stop," Spirit asked, a bit concerned.

Rhino hesitated for a second "...no...just...keep going slow"

The rabbit nodded, and then slowly pushed in a tad more.

Rhino leaned his little head back against the ground, relaxing his body as much as he could "...Spirit...it...feels...so...nice"

"I know it does, love," Spirit said, slowly easing himself in. "Many believe that rabbits can't be gentle during sex, but it's not true."

"Can't we just say you make a special exception for me because you love me so much? It sounds more romantic."

"Honey," the rabbit laughed sweetly, "put it any way you like, but I'm glad to have you." He pushed in more, now almost all the way there.

Rhino's teeth chattered together. He was still nervous, but it was slowly melting away as the rabbit above him entered his ass. His head turned to the side, a blush in his cheeks.

"You like that," the rabbit cooed softly as he looked into the hamster's eyes. He could feel the warmth of the hamster's ass around his cock as he slid in the rest of the way. "You're so warm and tight, Rhino. I love it."

Rhino giggled softly, looking up at the rabbit "I try I guess"

Very gently, Spirit began to pull out then push back in. He felt his cock rubbing against Rhino's inner walls. As he humped the hamster, he let out a few soft gentle moans which also dripped pre inside Rhino's ass.

Rhino's own cock started peeking out just then, slowly but surely making its way out. His moaned filled the air around them and joined Spirit's, each thrust giving him a new sensation to deal with

"My sweet little hamster," the smile was growing as Spirit slowly fucked Rhino. Each thrust was as gentle as the last. He would pull nearly all the way out before sliding back in.

"Kiss me" Rhino whispered softly

The rabbit leaned in and placed a kiss on the hamster's lips, holding the kiss there.

Rhino reached up with his little paws, stroking Spirit's head and cheeks lightly. His ass pressed and rocked against the penis gently thrusting inside it, the muscles clenching and relaxing quicker than before.

"You're starting... to like this... aren't you?" Spirit said humping a little faster. "I knew you would."

Groaning softly, Rhino nodded timidly, the blush still flared in his cheeks. His paws remained on whatever part of Spirit's body they could find, the rest of his frame almost limp.

"Well I... really hope so... because I'm..." Spirit's voice began to become strained and his breathing heavy. "About to..."

Rhino blinked. He would have thought the moment would last longer. But he didn't know how long rabbits could last

It took a second, but it actually appeared Spirit had forced himself to sloe down... "That... was close..." He looked down at Rhino. "Sorry hon, it's just... for a seco0nd there, I thought I was gonna lose it. You're so warm."

The hamster below giggled softly, giving a purposeful clench of his muscles and a little cute moan

"Mmmm.... do that again," Spirit muttered.

"Do what?" Rhino asked innocently

"Squeeze down on my cock again," Spirit cooed.

Rhino attempted looking cute again "Like this?" clenching down hard on his muscles

A little bit more pre squirted into the hamster. "Mmmm, yeah, that feels good."

Rhino rocked his hips back slowly "And that?"

"Ohhhh," the rabbit cooed again. "You sure I'm the first guy you've done this with?"

"Yea"

"Just trying it out" Rhino giggled

"Well you're doing beautifully," Spirit said as he picked up his pace again.

"I said I'd try didn't I?" Rhino whimpered gently as the ecstasy started up again

The pace picked up even more; the rabbit sliding in and out of the hamster's ass over and over. "You're just so nice and warm... Makes me want to cum even more."

"I wonder how I'm..." a grunt "Keep up with you..."

"Uhoh... that feeling's back," Spirit grinned. "And this time I don't... think I can hold it."

Rhino moaned softly, his length twitching lightly; he pawed at the ground for support

Spirit reached to stroke Rhino as he humped as fast as he could getting ready to cum. "Ya want it?"

All the little pleasure overridden hamster could manage was a groan and a nod

"You sure," the rabbit teased as he stroked faster.

Rhino nodded more franticly, clenching his eyes shut and whimpering. He didn't know how much he could take

Spirit gave a couple more thrusts. "Here it comes.... Rrrrrrrrrrr aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Spirit thrust forward as he shot his load deep into the hamster, feeling each burst of cum leave him, but he still continued to stroke the hamster.

Rhino's eyes shot open as the strange new warm liquid invaded his insides. It felt so good inside him. It didn't take long for his own to come, a squeak sending out his seed splurting on his chest

"You look cute all covered in hamster juices," Spirit snickered.

"I sure feel good with Rabbit juice in me" Rhino retorted.

Spirit slid out of the hamster, and then lay beside him with a smile. "You know something. I think you and I are going to be a great couple."

"And you based that on sex?" Rhino raised a brow as he spoke.

"Rabbits just know these things," Spirit chuckled.

"I think so too" Rhino said, after a while of laying there and mulling it over

Spirit leaned over and kissed Rhino on the nose. "You're a cute hamster."

"You're a horny rabbit" Rhino replied

"Thank you," Spirit said with a big dopey grin.

THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG [BOLT-FIVE]

Lighting was quick to stop Bolt lying in the green grass, apparently having gone back to sleep. He smiled at how cute his mate looked, an ear folded over his face slightly. Cautiously he padded over, sat down beside his mate and nuzzled the dog.

In his sleep, Bolt rolled over on his back, kicking his leg in the air semi-absentmindedly.

Finding this even more adorable, he continued nuzzling gently.

Bolt started muttering something, and, in listening, it would seem he was talking as if he was still on set.

Lighting smirked "Boolllttt" he muttered in an eerie dragging voice "Booolllttt...yoouurrre gettting a new co star...his name is lighting...your going to be his mate...and have lots of sex"

Bolt made a whimper in his sleep. "Where? Where is he?"

Lighting thought enough was enough, and shook Bolt with his paw "Bolt"

Bolt jerked awake. "Where is he," he said, as he hadn't seemed to have realized it was a dream.

"Somewhere in Hollywood?" Lighting offered. He smiled and nuzzled his mate again "Morning love"

"Morning, Lightning, you great big hunk of a dog." Bolt looked up with a smile.

"What were you dreaming about love?" Lighting asked curiously

"I was dreaming I was back on TV again, with Penny, and Rhino and Mittens.... but you were there too."

Bolt got up on his feet and looked a tithe Rott.

"Really? What was I doing?"

"I think you were my new co-star," Bolt said. "You woke me up before I got the details."

"Well then, that show must have gotten a few deleted scenes in it" Lighting said with a perverted smile

"I guess," Bolt said, looking at the larger dog with an odd smile.

"C'mere, I'm not done nuzzling you yet"

Bolt decided to play a little bit of the 'hard to get' card, and took several steps back. "Come and get me,"

"Don't make this big dog chase you" Lighting said, getting to his feet with a playful smile "Because you know he'll catch you, and do whatever he wants with you when he does."

Bolt's smile became a smirk as he began running circles around Lightning.

And so, the rottie chased after his mate, tongue lolling out in playfulness, stubby tail wagging.

After about two or three minutes of this chasing, Bolt pretended to be out of breath and started gasping for air.

Being dramatic about it, Lighting was practically over Bolt in a second, stomping his paw on the ground next to Bolt's "I've caught you," he whispered.

Bolt tilted his head and drooped his ears, looking up slightly.

Lightning's chest pressed against Bolt's back gently "Do you know what I'm going to do now?"

"I think I have an idea," Bolt said, still maintaining the cute begging pose.

Lighting leaned down and whispered sweetly into Bolt's ears "I love you my sweet little puppy" this was followed by a kiss on the lips.

Bolt held the kiss and leaned into it, murring and wagging his tail softly.

"As your captor, I choose to make powerful passionate love to you" Lighting whispered after the kiss.

"As the captive, I humbly accept with no resistance," Bolt whispered back.

"So cute" Lighting whispered, all the teasing and thoughts of having Bolt had quickly hardened his maleness, and he rubbed it at Bolt's tailhole just to show how aroused he was.

Bolt yipped in pleasure, as his own canine member peeked out from his sheath. "Ohh, whatcha gonna do, Mr. Rottie?"

"You know very well" Lighting said his length pressing and prodding his mate gently, and slowly it penetrated his lover.

"Ahh... Ahhhh," Bolt whimpered a little bit as he felt the larger dog entering his tailhole, and started drooling a little. "Oh, Lightning."

Lighting rubbed his cheek against Bolt's in an affectionate act, his length pressed deeper into the dog he loved, beginning to leak pre and smoothening the process slightly. He moaned softly at the feel of Bolt's inner walls pressing on his cock.

"I love you, Lightning," Bolt whispered as he pawed at the air between them.

Slowly Lighting thrust in his mate, taking his time to enjoy the wonderful stimulations. He nuzzled and licked his lover gently, cock aching from pleasure.

Bolt moaned loudly. "Ohhhh Lightning." To him, it would seem a normal pitch of speech, but to Penny, who it appeared had just walked outside, it sounded like Bolt was in pain.

"Bolt, are you okay out here...." Penny looked to see the two dogs. "Bolt!"

Bolt looked to his side, then to Lightning. "Uh...."

Lightning then, as quick as lightning itself, pulled from his mate and started taking timid steps away from penny, focusing his face on bolt, and giving him a 'sorry' look.

Penny looked at the newer dog, then over at Bolt, who, despite having just been caught in sex mid fuck, still had an odd look on his face

Bolt shook his head, got on his feet, walking over to where Lightning was and followed him.

Lighting blushed timidly "What do you think she'll do?" he asked softly, absentmindedly nuzzling Bolt, more for his own comfort

Penny hesitantly stepped down off the porch, and walked over to Lightning. "Hi,"

Bolt gave a happy bark at this and smiled.

Lighting looked away, timidly still, and gave a weak bark.

Penny took a few more steps and carefully petted the Rott on the head,

"Just be gentle," Bolt instructed Lightning.

Lighting knew the procedure. His ears moved out of the way for the pet, hesitantly leaning into them as a show of acceptance.

Penny very carefully began to pet the dog. After a moment, she gave a small laugh. "Good dog."

Lighting gave what would be a dog's 'smile'. His tail wagged softly and his tongue hung out on the side slightly.

"Nuzzle her," Bolt told him.

Lighting did as told, and gently nuzzled the hand that was petting him

Penny laughed a little, and continued to pet the dog. "Where do you live, puppy?" she asked, seeing the collar.

Lighting tilted his head, in fake confusion, perhaps trying to look cute. He turned his head and lifted a paw to 'point' at the neighboring house.

Penny squatted down so she was face to face with the dog. "Good puppy."

Lighting did his best to look harmless and cheerful. He then slightly shifted closer to Bolt, and nuzzled him again.

Bolt smiled as he let out another happy bark, putting one paw on top of Lighting's.

"Ohhhh," Penny laughed again. "Bolt found love?"

Bolt nodded, before licking Penny's face.

Lighting padded closer and licked Penny's face as well.

"You're big," Penny said to Lightning. "And slobbery, just like Bolt."

Penny commented, remembering how she identified Bolt when she first got him.

Lighting barked happily.

Penny gave Lightning a hug. Bolt nuzzled Penny from behind.

Lightning would have laughed if Penny could understand it. He smiled at Bolt.

When Penny let go of Lightning, she gave him another pat on the head.

"You like my Bolt, huh? Well don't be too hard on him." Penny, in honesty, was still unsure how to handle the situation but it seemed everything was okay, so she decided not to worry about it.

Lightning nodded happily, padding over to Bolt and bumping their noses together.

Penny laughed as she walked back in the house, leaving the dogs to their business.

"That was close...Penny seems to like me thought" Lighting smirks "She said I shouldn't be too hard on you...do you agree?"

"What she doesn't know won't hurt her," Bolt laughed.

Lightning nuzzled Bolt again, softly licking the cheek "Would you like me to continue?"

"I'd love that," Bolt said softly.

"Lay on your tummy love" Lighting cooed gently

Bolt did as he was asked, lifting his tail and waving his butt a little.

"God, you are so cute" Lighting whispered as he lay above Bolt. His length had softened slightly after the shock, so he rubbed it against Bolt's tailhole again, to harden it up again.

"Mmm, I try to be, Lightning. Especially for you." Bolt cooed a little as he felt his lover's cocktip against him.

Before long Lighting was penetrating his lover once more, wasting no time in getting a slow rhythm of pleasure going, moaning gently in Bolt's ears.

"Lightning," Bolt said with a moan. "I love you."

Lightning sped up his thrusts just slightly "Clench my cock babe, moan for me, let me hear it. Show me how much you love me as we make love together"

Bolt's ass clenched down on the cock inside him hard, also causing a loud moan to escape him. "Ohhhh Lightning... Fuck me.... I love feeling you inside me."

Lighting grunted and moaned, louder and more rasped as his speed and effort grew. His thrusts dug deep and hit his mate's prostate over and over, leaking pre all over again. His head dazed slightly with lust as his ball slapped against Bolt's ass.

Bolt murred and moaned as he felt his lover in him, and it only seemed to further drive his own lust as he began to get harder himself. "Take me love."

Lighting proceeded with pounding his mate's ass. He did not want it so soon, but his climax was slowly approaching him. He bit it down as much as he could, wanting still to savor the moment. But it was hard.

"Give it to me, love. You know you want to. You know you want to fill up my ass with your warm creamy Rottie seed." Bolt continued to egg the dog on, squeezing his ass down on the cock inside him.

"I...wanted to...savor the moment....ooooo....but your making that hard for me....aaaa.....you want my cum bad, don't you puppy?" Lighting managed to eventually get out, groaning and hammering at his lover.

Bolt squeezed down again. "Give it to me. I wanna feel your juices pour in my ass, love." He closed his eyes, looking content.

Lighting really tired to hold out longer, to tease his mate, but he couldn't it. A few thrusts later his seed burst from his cock and rushed into Bolt's eager ass.

"Mmmmm oooh yeah that's it," Bolt squeezed down once more, milking his lover for all he had.

The rottie growled in after glow, falling down on Bolt, the last drops of his cum dripping in Bolt.

Bolt looked at the dog that now lay beside him. He opened his muzzle to say something, but instead just licked the larger dog on his nose.

Lighting smiled and licked back "If this is how we are now, I'd like to see us when we are in heat."

"Oh, probably about ten times worse. I think Penny might have to make me an outdoors dog with as much noise as I'd probably make," Bolt snickered as he staggered onto his feet.

"You'd like that, wouldn't you? At my mercy the whole time, getting all my seed"

"Mmhmm, such a big sexy dog, fucking me day and night. Who wouldn't enjoy that," Bolt added.

"Having such a cute little doggy to fuck is just as good."

Bolt blushed a little. "You know, I'm lucky you moved in here. I might not ever have experienced true love without you."

Lighting kissed Bolt gently on the lips "I suppose we're both lucky."

Bolt kissed back before taking a quick glance around the yard and darting off to a corner. "Come catch me, love." He kept moving though, as to not be caught.

Lighting was quick to raise and chase after Bolt, laughing and smiling along the way.

"Hey, Dog" A voice strung out. Both dogs looked aside from their running around like...well, dogs. There stood the one and only mittens the cat "Bolt, C'mere"

Bolt's ears perked up as he turned to look at Mittens, who he'd seen come outside. "I'll be right back love." He then padded over to the cat and looked at her. "Yes, Mittens?"

Mittens pointed with a single paw, rather perterbed and slightly, paraniod at Lightning. "What is that and why is it here?"

"That's Lightning," Bolt said, rather calmly, with a smile. "And he's here because I want him to be."

"This is some trick isn't it" the cat stared uncertainly at the dog "Your making sure I don't play pranks on you aren't you?" She asked, her paw now pointing shiveringly at Lighting. Obviously she was... affected, by Lightning's bulk and size.

"What," Bolt chuckled. "No, Mittens, it's nothing like that. He's just... a very special dog."

"Special?" The feline raised a brow "Special how here?"

"Special as in, he's my lover," Bolt blushed.

Mittens' face first went completely blank, then a smirk, a deep devious smirk. But perhaps she always smiled like that "That so hey...is that just a nice way of saying you're his bitch?"

"Mittens... that's not exactly polite... but yes, I guess that's one way of putting it." Bolt's facial expression shifted to mock anger as he glared at her.

"So what are we looking at here...sex, or love?" She asked, raising a brow again.

"Again, not very polite, but it's a little of both," Bolt's facial expression remained unchanged.

"And I take it your happy with him?" Mittens asked.

"Very," Bolt said, looking back at Lightning.

Mitten grinned "Fine then, as long as he doesn't bite my head off" she turned around and started walking away.

Under his breath, Bolt added, "He just might if you keep up with the pranks. He's very protective of me."

Mittens stopped for a second, shuddered, and pounced her way into the safety of the house.

An odd yet funny smirk showed on Bolt's face. "Hey, Lightning..."

Lighting padded closer. "Yea?"

"Do me a favor," Bolt said. "Go up to my door, and just... wave at Mittens for me. Give her a nice big smile."

Lighting looked at the door "...Can't I scare her a little?"

"Not just yet. Besides, just seeing you at the door should scare her a bit," Bolt laughed.

Lighting smirked, padded along the grass and onto the porch. The door had been left open, and Lighting spotted Mittens sitting on the rug inside. She spotted him easily, and Lightning flashed a toothy grin, one that looked both innocent, but mildly threatening...like a maniac killer. To say the least, Mittens' hairs stood on end. Lighting then casually padded back. "Anything else baby?"

"No, that's good," Bolt laughed, wondering what must be going through Mittens' head right now.

A PAWS FOR A DATE [BOLT-SIX]

Bolt padded over to Lightning's yard with a smile on his face. His fur was nicely groomed, though any other dog might have been curious how Bolt managed to convey to Penny he'd wanted the grooming. His fur almost glowed in the moonlight as he padded to the front door of the house, pawing at the door.

Upon hearing said pawing, lighting peered up from the cozy lounge and at the door, smiling gently when he noticed Bolt. He rose and was quick to pad outside, through the dog flap. "Good even-" Lightning paused in half sentence, blinking softly "...You're prettier tonight"

Bolt dropped a rose at Lightning's feet that he'd been holding in between his teeth. "Lightning, love, please come out. I would like to take you somewhere."

Lighting blinked softly again, looking down at the rose. A blush of similar color stained his cheek "Ok...but, what's going on?"

"It's called a date, Lightning. I heard Penny talking about it with her mom. She said it's something humans do when they really love each other. They go out somewhere, usually to a movie or a dinner, sometimes both." Bolt looked into Lightning's eyes. "It adds to the romance of the relationship. It sounded nice, so I thought I'd try it with you."

"Um...Bolt, no offence. It's a wonderful idea and I find it adorable and thoughtful" Lighting looked slightly confused "But...this 'date'...how are dogs like us going to do it?". Lightning didn't seem to not like the idea, but he was confused as to how it all worked

"Trust me, love," Bolt said, nuzzling him. "I have it all worked out.... Join me?" Bolt put on his cute begging face.

Lighting sighed softly, the blush still there in his black cheeks "How can I say no?" he smiled and padded closer to bolt

Bolt walked aside Lightning until they got back to his yard. When they did, there was a small blanket on the grass. Bolt assumed this was the best their friends could find to help along with the atmosphere of the date. Sitting in the center of it was a flashlight that had been turned on to simulate candle light. As they approached it, Bolt saw Rhino and Spirit.

"Two for dinner tonight, sir," Spirit asked Bolt, who nodded gently.

Lighting raised a brow at Spirit, and then at Rhino, who smiled innocently.

"I think tonight we'll have the special," Bolt said.

"The what?" Lighting asked.

Very comically, Rhino chirped in "That's the super special yummy meat flavored dog with water". How the hamster had found a butler's cloth to put on his arm was beyond Lighting. What was even more beyond him was Mittens walking along to them, pushing two bowels with her paws and mumbling something along the lines of "I can't believe I'm doing this..."

When the meal was safely on the blanket, she turned round and high tailed it away as fast as possible. "We'll leave you two along now" Rhino said and nudged Spirit.

Spirit nodded. "Yes, we hope you will find everything satisfactory, and should there be a problem, please call upon one of us and we'll fix it straight away," with that he hopped away.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Bolt looked at Lightning. "And a perfect night, too."

Lighting was staring off into the distance, where Mittens and the others had left. He smirked "You told Mittens I'd bite her head off if she didn't do this, didn't you?"

"What? Where would you get an idea like that, love," Bolt said in a half joking mock-anger tone. "No, I actually just asked her if she'd be willing. I can't deny she might have THOUGHT you'd bite her head off if she didn't, but I honestly didn't put that in her head."

Lighting eyed his lover; not because of the answer, but for more obvious reasons "...You look really pretty in this light..."

Bolt turned to one side and blushed. "Aww thanks Lightning. You don't look half bad yourself.

"Yea but...you look you put EFFORT into looking beautiful" Lighting padded closer and nosed Bolt's fur "Did someone brush it?"

"Penny had me groomed. Somehow she managed to pick up on the fact I wanted to look good tonight," Bolt told his lover.

"She's good" Lighting said, smirking and looking down at the bowls of food "So...um, shall we?"

"You get the first bite, love," Bolt said sweetly.

"Really?" Lighting chuckled and got comfy on the blanket. He sniffed the food, out of habit, and bit into it, chewing. His eyes drifted up to Bolt, and he smirked "It's not special if you're not eating with me."

Bolt bent down and took a bite of the food too, chewing on it a little. "Mmm..."

Lighting silently went on his way in eating in the little bowl, Bolt's muzzle not far away. He didn't really have any other idea what to do, so that was the only thing that came to mind.

As Bolt ate with Lightning, occasionally he would nuzzle his lover with his muzzle, looking into his eyes.

Lighting smiled at each little nuzzle, nuzzling back when he had the chance. He listened to the sounds around him, a few crickets but nothing really more. He stared at Bolt, until he realized there was only one piece of the meal left.

"Uhhh...." Bolt looked down noticing this as well.

In the distance, Rhino and Spirit were watching the pair. "Don't they look cute together, Rhino," Spirit commented.

Rhino grinned and leaned against Spirit "Not as cute as you."

"Aww," Spirit's fur turned pink near his face from blushing. "You're a sweetheart."

Thinking Lightning was giving him the last piece, Bolt leaned down to take in into his muzzle, biting the edge of it and grabbing it with his teeth.

Lightning grinned "Technically, we could share that."

Bolt smiled, still holding the piece with his teeth and scooted closer to allow Lightning to bite onto it too.

Lighting smiled, and bit onto the little piece of meat. This, of course, caused their lips to press together.

Bolt hadn't expected this but leaned into the kiss nevertheless. "Mmmm," he opened his muzzle to allow access with your tongue.

Lighting smiled, and stole the piece of meat in the kiss. He chewed on it happily.

Bolt laughed when they broke the kiss and smiled. "I love you."

Lightning looked at Bolt. "So what's next?"

It was actually Spirit that answered. "Actually, it has been arranged for the two of you to have a private screening pf 'Lightning: The Movie' as provided by Rhino."

"There's a movie?!"

"You didn't know that," Bolt questioned.

"Well, I never really cared what they made from me. All I know is I was in show business as some fake hero dog" Lighting said.

"Well, I never really cared what they made from me. All I know is I was in show business as some fake hero dog" Lighting said

Bolt just laughed a bit more as he took a few more slurps of water. "Sounds as though you're just as ignorant of the goings on during your life as a TV star as I was, hon," Bolt added.

"Yes but, I at least knew it was fake" Lighting said with a snicker

Bolt rolled his eyes then put a claw underneath the water bowl and pulled upward; causing what was left of the water, which wasn't much, to splash Lightning in the face.

Lighting a rather amusing sound at getting splashed "Hey!"

"Got you," Bolt snickered.

Lighting just smirked "I'll get you later."

"We'll see about that," Bolt said as the 'waiters' came to clean up the mess.

"That's funny, I would have thought you liked me getting you back" Lighting leered at his mate.

Bolt leaned over and licked his wet mate.

Lighting licked the tongue that licked him, murring softly.

"Come on, I want you to watch this," Bolt said as he padded toward his house.

Quietly the Rottweiler followed suit. He grinned and admired the 'view' of Bolt's behind as they walked, and he presumed they were going somewhere with a TV.

Bolt padded into the house.

Penny was there waiting, and when she saw Bolt, she got up and put the video into the VCR. "Have fun Bolty." She then walked away.

Lightning blinked at Penny "How DOES she know what you want?"

"Easy, I knocked the movie at her feet when I left the house earlier this evening." Bolt laughed.

"She knew to wait how?" lighting asked?

"Same way she knew I wanted the grooming. She's my person, Lightning. She knows me better than anyone."

Lighting scoffed "Well, I'm your dog. Does that count as anything?" the canine padding over the carpet and settling down.

Bolt just nuzzled his lover, as he heard the familiar Rott's bark from the TV as the movie started. Bolt couldn't help but giggle. "So cute,"

Lighting stared up at the TV, tilting his head "...oh, this. Well, this explains why one day I had to do a lot of saving"

Bolt stayed cozy beside Lightning throughout most of the movie, watching the brave 'scripted' hero acts his lover did, and enjoying every moment of it. Whether real or not, he loved how his lover portrayed the hero so well.

Lighting looked to his side, smiling softly, placing a paw on top Bolt's. By the time the heroic acts were done, and the credits were showing, Lighting was firmly cuddled into Bolt "Was I as heroic as you were in your show?"

"A lot more so, love. I only saved Penny. You saved loads of people," Bolt then muttered something under his breath as the memory of his final day on the set resurfaced again.

"Something wrong?" Lighting asked, looking concerned

"No, love, nothing at all. Just thinking about my past. How I learned so much of it was a lie, and then having to save Penny from that fire. You know that's really the ONLY time I ever truly saved her life."

"Hmm" Lightning nuzzled Bolt softly "Must have been hard"

"I'd do anything for her...." Bolt sighed.

"Clearly..." Lighting smiled "I hope I mean that much to you soon"

"You already do my love," Bolt said with a soft smile.

"So, You'd jump into a burning building and try and pull me out if I was injured?"

"Of course I would," Bolt said with a nod. "Without a moment's hesitation."

"Would you make love to me after?" Lighting smirked. It was then that he realized, that he talked a lot about mating with Bolt. He chuckled, and hoped it wouldn't become too overbearing to handle

Bolt said nothing and simply licked his lover's cheek.

Lighting leaned forward an placed a soft warm kiss on Bolt's lips

His muzzle traveled onto Bolt's neck, and rested there slightly "I love you so much..."

Bolt murred a bit as he kissed back. "I love you too... Who'd have guessed that I'd turn such a loner Rottie into such a soft hearted pup?"

"Don't forget horny," Lighting muttered.

"Oh, you," Bolt kissed the larger dog again. "Come one, there's one last thing I want to show you."

Lighting smiled "I'm starting to like this 'date' thing" rising up to his feet.

Bolt casually padded out the back door, into the back yard. There, right in the middle was a spot that appeared to have been a hole that was refilled with dirt. "I hope it's okay, but I wanted to end this day by giving you something. And this time, I actually had nothing to do with it. I think Penny likes you..." He padded to the hole. "Go ahead, start digging."

Lighting curiously eyed the hole, but started digging.

Bolt actually at this point turned his back to Lightning and the hole, waiting until he'd finished digging to turn around. There, at the bottom of the hole, was a dog tag, with Lightning's name engraved in it just as Bolt's was, with his address as well.

Lighting blinked again "A dog tag?"

"Love, have you noticed how beaten up yours looks," Bolt asked. "I think she noticed it when she was petting you, and since she knew I loved you, she wanted to get you a gift."

Lightning nosed the little collar and tag "...well, someone's gonna need to put it on, and it's not gonna be me or you."

Bolt thought for a moment. Lightning had a point. Who could he get to put it on him? He then got an idea and yipped out. "Hey Rhino!"

It wasn't even two seconds later that the Hamster appeared "Yea boss?"

"Listening Boss" Rhino said.

"Ya see that new dog tag there?"

Rhino looked aside "Sighted."

"Your mission... is to get that dog tag attached to Lightning's collar." Bolt said. "You have a lot more flexibility with your paws so I know you can do it."

Rhino hopped up and set to work at once, scurrying onto Lighting and fiddling around with the collar till the tag came lose, he then retrieved the new tag and took a few moments attaching it on. This was all done why he sang some sort of theme song he had no doubt made up. When he was done he turned to Bolt. "Assignment completed boss."

Rhino, love, where did you go," Spirit's voice called out in the distance.

Rhino grinned and shouted excitedly "Coming!" and scurried away.

Lighting chuckled "Well, is that the end of the date?"

"Nope, not just yet," Bolt said as he kissed his lover. "I still have to walk you home. That's the most important part; the romantic 'good-bye'."

"Oh...do we have to say goodbye at the end or can you stay over? Or is that against the rules of the date thing?" Lightning asked; an ear folding.

"Well, I don't think it'd be against the rules if I stayed. I mean, we ARE in love after all," Bolt said, nuzzling the larger male.

Bolt happily began walking alongside Lightning as they walked back through the house and into the front yard. Bolt then walked to the house next door, smiling ear to ear.

Lighting followed. A blush burned softly in his cheeks.

Bolt walked toward Lightning's home. As he did though, he noticed someone he hadn't seen before standing on Lightning's porch. It looked to be a boy about Penny's age. He saw the two dogs and smiled. "Hey there, Lightning. Is this the reason you've been out so late?"

"Oh, yea...You havn't met Liam yet have you love?" Lightning said.

Bolt shook his head. "Is he your person, Lightning?"

"Yes, he is. He's got a real soft spot for any kind of dog. So winning him over is gonna be as easy" Lighting padded over, jumped onto the porch, urging Bolt to follow.

He barked at Liam when bolt made it next to him, and firmly nuzzled the other dog.

"Aw, that's cute, Lightning. Ya met somebody ya like, huh boy?" Liam smiled and petted Bolt, who barked happily. "And what's this," Liam said, noting the new dog tag. "You got yourself a new tag too. Is that a gift from your friend?"

Lighting nodded and barked.

"Well your 'friend' is a real cute doggy there, Lightning. You two have fun," Liam then patted both dogs on the head before he walked inside.

Bolt turned and looked at the Rott once more. "Well love, shall we get some sleep?"

"Lead the way"

Bolt padded to the soft spot of grass in the yard where they slept the other night and waited.

Lighting, once again, followed and curled up comfortably against Bolt.

Happily, Bolt laid down and closed his eyes. As he did, he smiled. "You know, Liam's a really lucky kid to have a dog like you."

"I'm lucky to have a dog like you" Lighting muttered.

AFTER THE THUNDERSTORM [BOLT-SEVEN]

It had now been almost a year since the fateful day that the two dogs had become a couple. Bolt was, more than anything, happy he wasn't alone anymore. Spirit, the coworker to Bolt's mate, also appeared to have been settling into his new relationship with Rhino. then of course was Penny, who'd now become real good friends with Liam, or so they said.

On a rather warm and sunny Saturday morning, Bolt opened his eyes, looking up at his lover, sleeping right beside him. He smiled as he leaned up and licked the rott's cheek.

Lighting muttered something that was too jumbled to understand, his legs started moving, as if he was chasing something.

Bolt laughed a little. "You aren't gonna catch me this time," he whispered.

"Yea....will" Lighting half muttered, still moving his legs, more faster this time.

"Nope, I'm faster. You'll never catch me," Bolt added in, snickering.

Lightning's eyes jolted open suddenly, and stupidly shouted "Yes I will!," as he looked around confused.

"Eep!" Bolt jumped up and ran a bit to put some distance between the two. "Don't do that!"

Lighting looked around, still a bit confused. THen he made to sit up "Sorry, I was dreaming about..." he blushed in his black furred cheeks "Something."

"Yeah, sure you were," Bolt said as he walked up, licking Lightning's muzzle. "Definitely seems like you were enjoying yourself."

"I almost was" Lightning muttered under his breath.

Bolt smiled as he pawed at his lover. "I see. So... what WERE you dreaming about?"

"...You" Lighting muttered, still blushing.

"Thats what I thought," Bolt remarked as he pounced on the larger dog. "You know, it's been a year since you and I met."

"Really? Feels like just yesterday I got a boner from sniffing your sexy butt" Lighting replied, grinning stupidly like a perv.

"Yeah, and to think, I'd never had sex before," Bolt grinned back. "God, I was dumb."

"I was lonely" Lightning said, trying to pout cutely.

"Yeah well... how would you like to have some American Shepherd meat for breakfast?" Bolt said, raising up a paw which showed his cock was poking out a little.

Lighting chuckled "What were YOU dreaming of?" his eyes absentmindedly staring at the dog of his life's balls, just hanging there in its' white sheath.

"I dreaming about you of course," Bolt said with a big grin, deliberately leaving his sac and sheath right in his lover's view.

"I want details Dog" Lighting half demanded.

"How am I supposed to surprise you if I give all the details to you now," Bolt licked.

"How am I supposed to get hard if you don't tell me about all the sexy horny dog yiff you have with me in your dreams" Lighting retorted with a sly smile, shifting a bit on the ground.

"Simple," Bolt commented, as he dug his head beneath the rott and nuzzled his crotch.

A low moan seeped from Lightning's slightly parted lips "oo baby, you sure know how to treat me just right" he looked Bolt in the eyes "God I love you so much."

Bolt drew his head back. "I just have a lover who's easy to please," he said, then dug his head back under.

"Nah, you know just how to push my buttons, every time" Lighting siad, murring softly.

Bolt nudged Lightning a bit, and took the tip of his member and began sucking on it.

Lighting let out another moan, louder than the first, and a little whimper to go along with it "Bolt..."

Bolt said nothing more as he sucked on Lightning's cock. He was sure to let his tongue slide all over the length of the larger dog's meat.

Lighting snickered a little "I thought I was getting American Shepard meat for breakfast...looks like you're getting Rottie meat instead."

"Mmhmm" Bolt said, his mouth full as he continued to let his slender tongue slide along the length. As he did, his own cock finally slid all the way out.

Since it hurt a bit, Lighting tried to shift into a more comfortable position, and after doing so, he let his muscles relax, as his cock was suckled on. He moaned and whimpered under the pleasure, his climax nowhere near,

Bolt buried his face in Lightning's crotch, sniffing in deep to take in the rott's musk as he continued to work the dog meat in his muzzle; softly chewing on it and licking it. "So ood," he said, his voice muzzled by the cock.

Lighting's head leaned back onto the ground, his body shivering under the sweet attention, the urge to buck already there. But he resisted it, he wanted this morning to last a bit longer than usual. He was in the 'enjoy it' mood.

Bolt seemed to be rather pleased to see a change in Lightning's sexual mood. Usually, Lightning let Bolt get him off quick, but it definitely seemed as though the rott was holding back, which was only going to make it more enjoyable for the two of them when he finally finished the job. Taking in the rott's cock, or at least as much as he was capable of taking in, Bolt breathed over it, leaving a warmth over the cock to aid along with the wetness being left by his tongue. Bolt closed his eyes, letting himself get lost in the enjoyment of licking his lover.

"G-God' Lighting breathed out, letting each pleasuring lick and suck wash over him, sending him on some kind of paradise. HIs tongue lolled out the the side and he panted with delight.

Bolt's eyes remained closed as his tongue and his breath worked together to send wave after wave of pleasure to the large dog; allthewhile feeling himself growing stiffer. He moved his tongue up and down as he now began licking from base to tip and back again, over and over, building the tension.

The big rottie's eyes turned to a dreamy haze, a pleasured high. Very gently his hips bucked, not drastically and demanding, light little jabs. "Babe...oh fuck babe."

Bolt took the bucking like a pro, managing to still work over the cock even when the tip of it went down the back of his throat, which actually only made him want to do it more. "Gimme," Bolt muttered around the cock.

The bigger dog couldn't help a smirk that played on his lips at his lover's needs, his bucks gained strength, the littlest bit, but just so he could shove just the bit more in Bolt's maw. He could feel the cum beginning to churn in his balls, though he pushed it down.

"Mmm," Bolt sensed a small bit of pre that leaked onto his tongue, which gave the American Shepherd the hint that his lover wouldn't last too much longer. With a bit of a mental laugh, Bolt began working the cock a bit faster, allowing his tongue to work all over the cock as he bobbed his head up and down the length, now at an increasingly rapid pace.

Lighting gasped at the sudden change. he couldn't take it anymore, his lusty needs were surfacing harder. His bucks became strong and powerful as he humped his cock in his lover's maw "Aww shit...aww gawd..." he panted, breathing fast and heavy.

Bolt worked faster still, determined to give his lover an orgasm he wasn't soon going to forget. He worked the cock slowly, then quickly, alternating the pace to tease his lover. His own cock was now dripping massive amounts of precum. He'd definitely need the release once he finished Lightning.

Lighting howled loudly as his seed splurted out hot and sticky in Bolt's waiting muzzle, shivering from the pleasure overload.

Bolt slurped up the cum quickly, but he didn't ease up on the sucking. If anything he was bobbing and sucking harder.

Slowly, a bit too slowly, which was more fortunate for Bolt, Lighting's banks drained. All that was left was a panting dog laying on the ground.

When Bolt finally seemed satisfied that he'd drained Lightning, he backed away and smiled; a little of the cum on the lips of his muzzle. "Good doggie," Bolt snickered.

Lighting sighed, got his breath back, then said "Get that drooling cock of yours in my maw."

Bolt dropped onto his back, his cock still dripping precum, and looked at Lightning with a smile. "Gimme your best."

Lighting sat up, smiling like a fool "I'll give you more than that" the bigger dog said, before he plunged most of Bolt's length in his maw, sucking on it deeply.

Almost instantly, Bolt bucked upward into Lightning's muzzle. "Ooh..."

Lighitng smiled around his mate's member, and almost teasingly and agonizingly slow, worked over the length. His tongue lapped and sucked on the dog meat with great vigor though.

"Oh god," Bolt groaned. "You aren't going to make this easy for me are you," he asked, straining; refering to his ability to hold off his orgasm.

On the dog pole, Lightning shook his head with a coy grin, moving his lips a little faster, kneading the tender flesh with his tongue.

"I kn... knew there was something I lo... loved about you," Bolt stammered, bucking upward. "Oh, dear god, that feels good."

More and more effort piled into Lightning's maw thrusts, only growing faster. He tasted his lover like a lollipop, a wonderful sweet lollipop he just couldn't get enough of.

"Mmmm... Oh, Lightning, my big sweet doggie. Suck me nice and hard... Make me shoot my doggie seed." Bolt said goofily, his tongue sticking out now from the pleasure.

Long broad licks lapped over the rott's mate's member, sliding and gliding over it quickly as it twisted and sucked upon it with ease. A moan ran over the exposed flesh and Lighting did his best to keep it up.

"Oh fuck, mmmm," Bolt groaned out even louder. "You like my meat, don't you doggie?"

Lighting nodded a bit again, his eyes had that dazy dreamy look again as he sucks his mate off. The smells of Bolt and himself, the taste of his Dog, the lusty air that hug around him, it was all so intoxicating. the rottie suckled and licked on.

"Gonna have to work hard for your treat then doggie," Bolt said as he thrust upward, deep into his lover.

Hearing this, Lighting suckled the hardest and best he could. He wanted his dog's cum badly, he needed it.

"Oh fuck, yeah, suck my cock. Taste it, want it, love it," Bolt was becoming lost in the feelings, as the lust to want to cum for his lover was beginning to take over. "You want it. You know you do."

Lighting was starting to feel a little drugged. ANd maybe he was, drugged on his mate's scent and the need to please him, his own pleasure. All he knew was it felt so damn good, and he wanted more, he wanted his prize.

"I'm... gonna..." Bolt howled out as his seed sprayed forth with the force of a fire hose. Quickly, his seed filled his lover's muzzle, and there was a lot of it at that. More, it seemed, than there usually was, or was even possible for a dog of his size. "Ohhhhhhhhhh...."

Greedily Lightning gulped it all down, some dribbling down his chin. When he was sure there was non left but drips, he removed his maw off his mate's muzzle, licked the last drops off and moved closer to his mate's lips, softly and tirely whispering "I love you...so, so much..."

Bolt just laid there; eyes shut, twitching as the last bits of cum dribbled form his cock. "Love... you too," he managed to say.

Slowly and almost cautiously, Lightning leaned down and gently captured his love's lips in a tender kiss, that expressed the other side of emotions he had for Bolt a few moments ago it was lust, now, it was adoration and sweet burning passion that lit his heart and kept it going.

"Hey Lightning," Bolt said, opening one eye. "Tell me more about when you were on TV as a hero dog. I love hearing those stories."

Seeing that Botl was still tired, Lighting gently lay ontop of the dog he devoted his life to "Well, what part do you want to hear love? Just a random saving story?"

"Something sweet," Bolt said, sighing contently.

"Sweet huh?....Well, there was this one time a kid...younger than Penny or Liam was trapped in a burning building and was collapsing really fast. SO I just ran in, but his leg was caught, fancy that" Lighting smiled "It's never easy. Anyway, I dragged the thing off his leg and pulled the kid out. He was coughing a lot" Lightning paused "...Well, that was a real danger actually, not TV...I saved his life that day...he didn't leave alone until someone came to fetch him...cute kid."

"That's very sweet, love," Bolt said with a soft smile and a lick.

Lighting smiled "Would been nice if I had a big strong superdog to help me."

"I'll always be there to save you, my love," Bolt smiled softly. "I knew you were a REAL hero... You look too damn heroic to only be a TV dog," Bolt added.

Lighting blushed softly, too soft to see "Yea well, you traveled all over the country just to get back to the person you care about. That takes real courage"

"Penny was my person, love, just as Liam is yours. You'd do the same if you though someone was taking him away wouldn't you?" Bolt asked.

As he finished the question, Spirit hopped up behind them. "He almost did once."

Lightning rolled his eyes and buried his muzzle into Bolt's neck.

Rhino came scurrying behind "He did? When?"

Spirit looked over to Rhino then to Lightning. "Can I tell them or do you want to?"

"Just tell them" Lighting muttered "I'm too busy enjoying laying on the love of my life to care"

"Well, it was about Four years ago. He's just gotten settled into the contract of being the hero dog for the show, and we ran into each other. Well, as you know from experience, at first he was kinda hard headed and wouldn't open up to anyone. That changed when one of the stage directors said Liam had gone missing."

"Lightning went into a panic. You see, he swore to himself he'd never allow any harm to come to Liam even if it meant losing his own life in the process, so he tried to leave the set, and made to leave me behind. But I wouldn't leave and I insisted on coming with him."

"Luckily, it had just been a case of Liam forgetting to set his alarm clock. He'd been asleep in a trailer the entire time." Spirit then cleared his throat and looked at Lightning.

"Stupid kid had me worried sick" Lightning huffed.

In the background, Rhino snickered.

Spirit nudged Rhino a little, calling his attention to the fact Penny and Liam were coming up together, both holding hands.

Lightning's brow rose and he looked at Bolt.

Penny walked up, approaching the group and looked at Lightning. When she approached him, she knelt down and whispered something Bolt and the others couldn't hear. "Thanks for taking care of Bolt while I was gone."

Lighting smirked, and just barked.

Liam just stood there snickering and gave Lightning a pet on the head, turning to Bolt and smiling.

Lighting looked at Bolt and barked out "Are they?"

Bolt looked to Lightning. "Dating? Yeah... I would have figured that was obvious, love."

"Just making sure" Lighting barked.

"God, I love you," Bolt yipped back, nuzzling Lightning.

Lightning looked around him. There was Liam standing, a little awkwardly, with Penny. There was Spirit, his closest friend, next to Bolt's biggest fan. And as he looked down, he saw Bolt. A sense of completion started to fill over him. That hollow hole that he never even knew about inside of him was filled, again before he even knew it was happening.

He wondered how many more years he would have to spend with this; all of this, this family, friends and his mate. How many years he had to appreciate all that was given to him so quickly. One thing was for sure, he wasn't the same dog anymore. He was different now. Most of that was Bolt's doing. It was really all thanks to Bolt, that little ball of fluffy white energy and love. He turned to his mate and stared into his eyes "Bolt...lets make a promise. As long as we both live, through thick and thin, we'll keep each other safe, no matter what, even if we both die in the process." He closed closer and nosed the other dog "Promise?"

Bolt nodded gently. "Lightning, my dear sweet lovable dog, no matter what happens to you, even if it means I die right with you, I promise you will never be alone and you will always be safe with me."

THE END
