Love Knows No Bounds - The Start Of Something Grand
John twitched his nose.
"Ah...AH....AHT-CHOO!"
Zeke was so startled by the sudden noise that he sprang into the air, literally grabbing onto the ceiling and digging his claws in. One thing his parents had done when they found out he had become a fur was they got the ceiling to be replaced with a soft of hard foam that Zeke could sink his claws into, but not damage.
"Sorry..." John said, sitting up. He rubbed his nose with his paw and smiled up at the feline. "Your tail was tickling my nose!" he giggled.
Zeke retracted his claws and fell down onto the bed, landing softly on his paws.
"I think you scared me out of eight of my lives!" he joked, hopping down off his bed and walking over to John. He gave his friend a playful hug and then said "Let's see what there's to eat downstairs. I'll race you." The two decided to make it interesting, so John changed into his puppy form while Zeke morphed into his cat form.
They used the bedroom door as the starting line, and together said "3...2...1...GO!" Both dugs their paws into the carpet and sprinted down the hallway. They were pretty much even when they reached the stairway. However, neither remembered the small rug that was at the top of the steps, and both of them slipped, momentum carrying them all the way to the bottom of the steps.
Zeke, sure enough, landed on his feet, but winced a bit as the impact sent shivers of pain running up and down his spine. John closed his eyes and focused his energy, using his psychic abilities to decelerate his fall and allow him to land lightly on his paws. Both of them decided that they had had enough fun for a while and they changed back into their anthro forms.
"Should we eat first, or watch some TV?" Zeke asked, heading to the living room.
"TV sounds good." John replied, following his feline friend. They both flopped down onto the couch and Zeke pressed the power button on the remote.
"Hey, look at this! There's a show about big cats in Africa!" he exclaimed, changing it to that channel.
"You and you're obsession with cats!" John chuckled, changing the channel with his mind without having to do so much as move a finger.
He changed the channel to a documentary about WWIII, and they both just left it at that.
"Why do we always have to watch what you want?" Zeke asked, rolling his eyes a bit.
"Because..." John replied, "you've already seen every cat show that channel has to offer at least 10 times!" He turned the volume up slightly on the TV and leaned against Zeke.
Zeke went over to the freezer and looked inside. Nearly all the shelves were filled with frozen fish â€" something he now liked both cooked and raw. He pulled two medium sized fish out and tossed one to John, who caught it in his mouth. They both took a seat at the counter and started to devour their fish, quickly leaving nothing but two skeletons remaining.
"One good thing about being a fur is you don't have to worry much about what you eat." John said, heaving a contented sigh and patting his full belly. Zeke purred and leaned back in his chair, tossing the fish skeletons into a trash bin that was already halfway filled with them.
"Do you want another?" Zeke asked, getting up to see what else was in the fridge.
"No thanks." John said, waving his paw in the air. "But if you don't stop eating so much fish, you'll become a chubby kitty, and then even more people will make fun of you."
"No way! You're the one who's been packing on the pounds lately, using your psychic powers to do stuff for you instead of just getting up and doing it yourself!"
"And this is coming from the person who practically carries a universal remote around with them?"
"I wished the volume setting worked on wolves!" Zeke said, laughing. John laughed as well and got out of his seat, crouching as he leaped at Zeke, who narrowly avoided being tackled to the ground.
John chased Zeke for a while before finally bringing him down onto the couch, both of them barely able to move from laughter.
"So what do you want to do now?" the cat asked.
"Mmmmm...let's go back upstairs and play some more." John said, swinging his legs off the couch and getting up. Zeke followed suit and they walked side by side up the stairs and back to Zeke's room.
In Zeke's room, John turned on the Xbox, while Zeke turned on the TV. As the game loaded, they decided to get more comfortable.
"Clothes are so uncomfortable when you have fur." The feline complained. John nodded in agreement and they both stripped down to their underwear like they normally did. They tossed their clothes into a corner and Zeke turned his head towards the screen, but John was watching Zeke. He waited for a chance when the cat was completely focused on the screen and wouldn't notice his movements, and then...
The lupine lunged at his unsuspecting friend, bringing him down to the floor. Holding Zeke's arms apart, he playfully licked his friend's face. Then, John did something unexpected. He leaned in and kissed Zeke right on the lips, his tail wagging behind him...
