This was a gift I made for my big buddy AJ (Titan!) who really has been an incredibly kind and support friend and buddy to me who gave me the confidence to work on this picture for him. Its actually my first ever attempt at drawing digital and I've only had a tablet since Monday, but thanks to him and a few other friends I feel like I've learnt so very much already and am so proud with how this came out, and am so happy I could make this for him!

thanks again buddy for everything <3

I also wrote a short story to go with this picture too!

A distant clap of thunder rolled throughout the city as I smiled softly to myself at the sound, looking up to the window to watch the rain fall as I held my ratty tail in my hands, all the while the rain was pattering down onto the slightly clouded glass as I looked and listened, just loving the soothing sound it made, hearing it when I was so snug and safe indoors always managed to send a pleasurable tingle down my tail, as all the while the lights of the distant skyline illuminated the dark streets beyond the frame, living out there just a distant memory for me while the bright yellow moon hung overhead, its luminous glow accompanied by the twinkle of a few stars that could be seen along with the lights from the inner city that always seemed awake, even at an hour like this, the night sky to me was always such a beautiful sight.. especially on rainy nights like this when the moon was full. A soft smile grew on my ratty snout as I stared up and peered out as best I could at my current height, not much taller than the skirting board that surrounded the room and was just starting to wonder how I could get up to have a closer look before my ears then twitched and flicked, hearing the familiar sound of a playful huff and chuckle, a deep blush instantly running beneath my fur as I hummed to the sound as I turned to look up, immediately the most loving smile forming on my face as I let out a soft, happy little squeak and brux to the sight of none other than my big, wonderful doggo buddy Titan sat there before me.

Even sitting down he still towered over me, no surprise of course being the big German Shepherd that he was, my loving smile growing and fur floofing out as my eyes gazed up over him, taking in every detail I could as even now when I looked to him I couldn’t help but find myself gazing on in dreamy awe as I always felt so bashful in his presence, that wonderfully soft and fluffy black furred coat, those big canine paws, his fluffy tail that was currently swishing back and fourth slowly in a casual, happy wag as my head then craned up further, looking over that big doggo snoot, a relaxed smile on those ebon canine lips while his tongue was just lightly hanging from the side of his jaws as he panted away, my bright yellow eyes looking up into his own pretty Casal blue ones in turn, my smile beaming of its own accord at this point while my tail was gently swishing as my fur poofed just that little bit more as I looked to the window and back to him again as I softly spoke. “mm...lovely night out there isn’t it buddy?..hehe..i just..love the sound of the rain..mm..i know you do too, its so soothing..” I said as my blush then grew more from something I wanted to do, shyly looking to my feet for a moment and then back up to him as cutely as I could, first holding my tail and then lifting my arms, holding them wide in front of me while I could feel that excited and shy flutter in my chest now radiating through my little form, feeling more than a little bashful as he instantly understood my silent request and I knew it, his own playful smile growing faster now as he grinned down to me as the wag of his tail sped up, revealing just how he felt about it in turn while his eyes dropped into that teasing, half lidded look, his whole expression just filled with playfulness and love before in an instant with a happy huff, he moved that big snoot and head right down, that doggo nose instantly pressing into my chest and tummy as I gasped, happily squeaked and then giggled, falling right back onto my butt from the feeling of that soft canine nose so lovingly nuzzling over me as my arms in turn then moved up and slipped gently round that snoot as best I could, pulling myself closer as I lovingly hugged and snuggled to him, feeling each sniff he gave and gentle breath he took as that warm air would blow over and ruffle through my chest fluff as a soft hum and sigh left me from the feeling of all this, eyes slipping closed for the moment from the feeling of being so loved, and so cared for right here with him.

Slowly now my hand paws began to rub in soft, gentle circles over his snout as I then leaned forwards, smiling dreamily as I gave a smooch right on that nose, and then in turn gasped and giggled as I felt his tongue slip free from between his lips to press right into my chest and softly lick over me in return, a soft sigh leaving me as my eyes gazed up into his own, the pair of us just looking so lovingly to each other now, no sounds but the patter of the rain, the distant roll of thunder and the rhythmic “thump thud” that happy doggo tail of his wagging and patting the floor every now and then made, which brought out a few more giggles from me, both of us just enjoying the others company as I then blushed and looked up once more, breaking the silence as I softly spoke, growing more shy but determined to speak with every word I said. “Titan..I’m so glad you found me buddy..I..I love being your little ratty friend..and I love you being my big doggo buddy so much..I..well..I..don’t ever want to be away from you big guy..”

I shyly admitted, letting out each and every feeling as it came to mind with no hesitation, my eyes filled with love and unable to look away from his own, feeling that fluttering feeling in my chest once more as I began to move as delicately and carefully as I could, slipping forwards as I climbed right up and onto that snoot oh his, as all the while his smile grew with amusement as I climbed my way up, nuzzling and lightly bouncing that snoot to help me up as I giggled and blushed from the feeling, within a few moments now finding myself straddled atop that big doggo snoot, my legs spread round it as I used my hands to lift myself up just a little as I then felt us begin to rise as Titan lifted his snout back up with me along for the ride, sitting up as I lay there snuggled close and feeling so safe with him as he made sure to go slow so I wouldn't slip, dreamily meeting that gaze once more as my loving smile grew at just feeling so loved here with him as I would speak again, my voice soft, my eyes still on his as I lay there with him. “..I..love all of that so much buddy..but..not just that..I..I...love you too... and I always will do so very much buddy...thank you, for having room for a little ratty like me in your life..and being so kind supportive and loving to me..I hope..I can always be here with you as your little buddy..and..show you the love you’ve shown me....thank you..so much big guy..” I looked down and Bashfully smiled once more as I let it all out, feeling the blush beneath my fur growing once more, as I’d meant every single word..moving forwards as I did, to then lovingly smooch right at the base of his snoot, his eyes filled with nothing but love as I laid there, all limp and so comfy as my legs lazily hung off either side of his snout while my tail did the same, nowhere else I wanted to or would rather be than right there with him, my best buddy to love on and be loved by as the rain pattered away, knowing that this moment for me would last forever while I hoped many more like it were to come for both of us..hoping, I could make him feel as loved and wanted in that moment as he made me feel everyday..
