A guttural moan shook my apartment and somehow overpowered my newly acquired noise cancelling headphones as I tried to sleep. Again. Normally, I wouldn't care if I overheard my neighbors every once and a while but this...this had crossed a line. Every. Single. Day. Ever since my stupid neighbor had gotten a Polar bear anthro for a Girlfriend it had been daily moans and roars of pleasure, either from sex or some kind of weird sexual masochism.

"Enough" I thought to myself as I stood from my bed, tossing the headphones onto the bed with a little more force than necessary then pulling on shorts and an undershirt.

"Talk to this idiot about it, and if that doesn't work, go to the landlord" I thought as I stormed out of my apartment, almost thirsting for blood.

Normally I'm of the opinion, live and let live, if people aren't hurting each other that why stir up the pot? This time however, I had been pushed to the breaking point. It had been three weeks; Three weeks of moans, blood curdling screams of (maybe) pleasure? At this point, I was absolutely ripshit PISSED. To totally disregard your neighbors or to at least be oblivious to them was more than aggravating.

It didn't matter as I stepped out of my apartment and nearly flew up the stairs to the floor above mine, already seeing red at the sheer dismissal of anyone else. What kind of neighbor would be such a dick? A Dickish kind that's how! And they did so dickishly.

Upon reaching the floor above mine, I found 4 doors greeting me. I didn't know which my asshole neighbor was but the process of elimination told me who would be the most likely and I started knocking my fist against the door of the apartment right above mine.

"Come on answer! I know you're home" I half called/ half yelled, my voice slightly echoing off the brick hallway interior. Each knock made me slightly angrier as I was ignored. At first I was looking at nothing but an open door until there was a slightly scared "Uhhh Hi Anon" from below my line of sight.

I looked down and saw someone I hadn't expected to see; Marsie, my tiny Mouse anthro neighbor. I had only interacted with her a few times as we usually arrived home at about the same time. She looked up at me with sleep and confusion in her hazel eyes. She looked... well she looked mousy. Cream fur and shoulder length slightly frizzy hair with large ears poking out of it. She had a long brown robe wrapped around her as she looked up at me with a bit of fear, but mostly confusion. I was also a bit confused at seeing her answer the door as opposed to what's -his-face.

"S-sorry Marsie, I mistook your apartment for- I started scratching behind my head in embarrassment.

"That DICK making all the noise?" Marsie squeaked angrily, the fear totally erased and replaced with annoyance, while opening her door fully, her large ears perking up.

"Uh. Yea, I thought your apartment was his" I responded with a quick sigh, embarrassed. Marsie didn't even seem to notice as her face screwed up in anger (it was actually really cute).

"If you came to talk to him about it don't bother! We've all tried to get him and his fling to shut up but they just blow it off! Even the landlord doesn't care!" Marsie replied, stamping her tiny foot paws down in anger while motioning to the doors on the landing. That definitely put a damper on my plans for a nice resolution, but it made sense. The closest neighbors would be the first to complain about the noise.

I was suddenly very aware of the cold tile beneath my feet as I looked at Marsie. A slight frown crossed my face as I looked from her to the other doors on the landing.

"Nothing gets to him huh" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"Either he or the hooker he calls a girlfriend just tells us to fuck off" she responded, acid dripping from every word as she absentmindedly rubbed a bit of sleep from her eyes.

I shook my head at the situation, letting it all sink in. I had to be at work in 4 hours. I had woken one of my more pleasant neighbors up while trying to scold another neighbor for being a dick.

"Ugh what a fucking fuck" I groaned rubbing my hands over my face in annoyance and weariness. "Sorry for disturbing you Marsie, I thought your apartment was his"

Marsie looked up at me with the same exhaustion in her eyes, but still smiled.

"It's ok Anon, I don't actually know which apartment is yours either...uh, which is it for future reference?" she asked awkwardly, playing with tail as she asked.

I was too tired to try to read into anything in terms of anthro body language as I simply smiled at her and pointed down.

"Right below you Marsie, that why I thought you were making all the noise"

She gave a few short nods as she took in the information, looking like she was learning some deep knowledge.

"R-right, for the record Mason (right, that's the name of the dickhead) lives in that apartment" the tiny rodent says as she points to the apartment next to hers.

I nodded at the information and was about to turn to leave when I put a few things together. First, Marsie was a mouse anthro, meaning she could probably hear if I sneezed. Second, she looked even more tired than I did; her eyes were bloodshot and her ears drooped. Lastly, she was next door to the noise. She must have been suffering worse than I had been and instantly my heart went out to her.

I liked Marsie, she was one of the few neighbors who actually tried to be friendly, and so I made a split second decision.

"I doubt I'll talk to him after what you've told me but... this has to be pretty rough for you yea?" I said calmly, motioning to Mason's door.

"You have no idea," Marsie answered, her ears folding in annoyance.

As I was about to respond another annoying bellow from that polar bear anthro cuts through the silence, echoing off the bare bricks of the landing. Marsie's large ears fold down as she scowls in the direction of the door, her paws covering her ears.

"Fuckin really?" she growled in the direction of the offending noise as I grimaced at the door. It really was louder up here next to the source.

"Hey Uh, Marsie" I ejected questioningly, earning a questioning look from the small mouse anthro.

"If it gets too loud for you, you can crash at my place, it's a little quieter plus I have some nice noise cancelling headphones" I blurted out before I really put any thought into it.

Immediately, I internally punched myself. Seriously who would suggest that? Who would take up that offer? Marsie's dark brown eyes searched my face for a moment, then she nodded quickly. Before I could even register what was going on she grabbed her keys, shut her door behind her and locked her apartment up.

"L-Lead on then Anon, I need to get away from Mrs. Moan-a-lot and anything would help" She squeaked, grabbing my arm while wrapping her robes a little tighter around herself.

"Oh uh... already?" I asked, a little confused at the sudden willingness to stay with what amounted to an almost stranger, but another bellow erased my doubts.

"Y-yes already! I'm tired and have work and they go at it every night!" Marsie hissed, glaring daggers at the offender's door. I simply nodded and led her downstairs to my apartment, opening the door for her in an over exaggerated flourish.

"Welcome to my humble abode" I said in my most stately voice, which wasn't very impressive given how tired I was. My place was pretty standard, a few framed band posters on the walls, a few bookshelves filled with books and a couch with TV, of course. I led Marsie to my bedroom and motioned to it sleepily.

"Here you go, I'll take the couch, the noise cancelling headphones are in the nightstand" I yawned, throwing aside some covers for Marsie, then beckoning to the bed.

"W-where will you sleep Anon? I-I H-hate to impose" Marsie snuffled, her ears swiveling like radar beacons.

"The couch" I responded, gently moving her to the bed "the door has a lock, just in case you don't trust me"

The look Marsie gave me was one I am not quite sure how to quantify. A mixture of happiness, presumably from getting away from what's his face, Disbelief, confusion and maybe something like relief? I didn't focus on her as I grabbed a spare blanket and pillow from the bed.

"Sleep well Marsie, I'll see ya tomorrow" I mumbled, dragging the blanket and pillow to the coach, not waiting for her response. I heard a slight shuffling beyond the door before I pulled away and flopped onto the couch with a tired groan, then hastily positioning my pillow to get comfortable. Honestly, I could sleep on nothing if needed, and having the option to let a very cute woman sleep well was something I didn't mind at all. That mindlessness carried on as I snuggled into my blanket and gently fell asleep.

I woke at sunrise and rose with a slight yawn and stretch, years of routine made my body wake up at this time naturally. Gotta say, it's a helluva lot nicer to wake up to the smell of coffee and bird song rather than overly loud beeping. I breathed in deep and looked around, wondering why I smelled coffee. To my surprise what I saw was Marsie in my kitchen being quite as a mouse (fuck you, I'm great at puns). She was still in her robe, although it was a lot looser than the night before.

"Marsie?'' I asked a lot more groggily than I anticipated and caused Marsie to jump slightly.

"A-anon! Did I wake you? I made coffee and was gonna make you a breakfast but you don't have any breakfasty foods!" she squeaked, looking around my kitchen desperately.

"You didn't wake me, and thanks for the coffee; you didn't have to do that, '' I answered, standing and stretching. With a large degree of satisfaction I felt my joints pop as I stretched. I lumbered my way to my kitchen and grabbed a Mug, all under the gaze of Marsie, who watched me cautiously.

"I didn't have to...but you didn't either" she finally said in her adorable high pitched voice.

"Didn't have to?" I mumbled as I poured coffee and took a sniff. Woo man Marsie had made this cup GOOD! I took a swig and marveled at the flavor she had somehow imbued into the rich liquid.

"D-Didn't have to let me S-sleep in your r-room and use those perfect headphones!" She stammered in response, her large brown eyes searching me questioningly. I simply shrugged in response.

"If they are waking me up, then it must play hell for you and those ears of yours" I answered, leaning on one of my counters and taking a loud sip of my (wonderful) coffee.

Marsie's ears flattened into her slightly frizzy hair in apparent embarrassment, making me switch to damage control; after all I didn't want to insult a guest.

"Hey those ears of yours are cute so don't go getting all self-conscious, besides you would've done the same for me" I quickly stated before casually drinking from my mug.

"C-c-cute?!" Marsie stammered, idly playing with her tail while refusing to make eye contact with me. In fact, she was looking everywhere except at me. It made her look even adorable, all 4 foot of her fidgeting nervously. But all good things came to an end as she looked at my microwave and jumped slightly.

"God Dammit is that clock right?" She asked as she gathered her robe around her quickly.

"Oh uh, yea it is" I responded as I finished my coffee.

"Fuck! I'm gonna be late!" Marsie cried as she scurried out of my kitchen. I followed behind her slowly as she walked to my bedroom, hearing shuffling as I walked in. I found my bed made and Marsie gathering her Key and phone as well as a few used towels.

"S-Sorry Anon! I washed up in your shower and used your towels! I'll clean them! Marsie chirped as she flew by me picking up the room.

"Marsie if you're gonna be late let me handle it, it's no big deal" I called as she rushed past, causing her to pause and look at me.

"You mean it? Even after you did so much for me you don't mind?" She asked, walking slowly to stand in front of me and look me in the eyes. I simply smiled and instinctively put a hand between her ears, rubbing softly.

"It's no big deal, if you need to crash here for some needed sleep in the future just ask" I said calmly, savoring the feeling of Marsie's soft fur and hair. Marsie shuddered beneath my touch and stood on her tiptoes (tip pads?) to force my hand onto her hair and fur; her tail even wrapped around my wrist. She gave out a small trill of pleasure before gathering herself and pulling away.

"So I can come whenever I want?" she asked, raising a fuzzy eyebrow.

"Whenever, no questions asked, although I might be naked" I responded, crossing my heart with my forefinger calmly while winking down at her.

She giggled into her paws adorably then gave me a smile. "Ok Anon, see you tonight then" she said before leaving me to get ready for my own job.

And thus began the strange dance between Marsie and I, one of maybes and meanwhile.

At first Marsie came over every other day, red eyed and rubbing sleep from her tired eyes. Then it was nearly every night, a hopeful smile on her face as I let her in with her bringing breakfast food to share with me. Honestly it was a good trade, she got a peaceful place to sleep and I got some breakfast. All the while I had started getting soundproofing for my bedroom; that douche and his polar bear girlfriend weren't quieting down. Plus maybe it made Marsie wanna spend more time with me? By the 4th week she was actually knocking to come in right after she showered from work, bringing different foods to cook. Most of it was vegetarian because well, she was a mouse. Of course I helped, making myself non vegetarian portions of food.

Presently however, I was watching TV as a storm brewed outside, Marsie was snuggled up on the couch on the opposite side of it from me. She was completely cocooned in a blanket, which made her look like a fuzzy burrito with a mouse snoot and ears sticking out of it. Each time the thunder sounded in the distance, she shrunk down a bit, her eyes wide and searching.

"Not a fan of thunder are you?" I asked placidly, trying not to let my concern leak into my words. She was already scared; why compound that with self-consciousness?

"N-No! It's too loud and I hate it" She squeaked angrily, looking outside at the steady rain slapping the apartment window. I simply nodded along to her words. It made sense for thunder to be much worse for her than for me. Her hearing was so many times better than mine that all I could feel was empathy. What she was hearing now was like what was heard when shooting handguns without ear protection. Loud, but survivable.

"C-can I join y-you Anon? I-it's so loud and s-scary" Marsie cried as another thunderclap sounded with the power going out for just a moment. I didn't really think of the answer as I turned on a different movie without much pause at the power outage. I was used to thunderstorms, they were just another thing to live through. I had never thought about how anthros lived through them.

"Come 'ere ya munchkin" I stated opening my arms to the small mouse anthro, inviting her to snuggle with me.

Marsie snuffled heavily at my words, but shed the blankets revealing herself to me. She always was a cutie, but seeing her in a loose tank top plus a pair of sports shorts made me think of other things. I quickly quashed those thoughts, she came to me for comfort, not awkward sexual advances. With quick precision I wrapped the blankets around my body and then she settled into my lap as I wrapped my arms and by extension the blanket around her. She shivered in fear for a moment, then relaxed back into my embrace

"T-thanks Anon" she murmured, snuggling in closer.

"No problem Marsie, it's what friends do" I responded instantly, fishing around in the blanket for the remote.

"W-we're f-f-friends?"

"What do you wanna watch?" I asked with a mild yawn. It had been a long week full of mostly hard physical labor.

"Uhh that one with the girl at the bathhouse? I fell asleep last time we put it on" Marsie answered, nuzzling into the blanket further.

"Spirited away? Good choice" I said as I selected the movie. There was something to this that was different than before with Marsie. I could feel her soft fur, her ears wiggled against my chin, her hair smelled like lilac flowers. But there was something more, the tenderness between 2 beings, feeling her soft breathing, her tummy pushing my arms as she inhaled. And even more beyond that, there was a deep, DEEP trust between me and this tiny tender woman. Hell, I had given her a key to my apartment and I hadn't even done that with my (now Ex) girlfriend.

The movie played and the storm raged. I simply watched the movie because no matter how many times I had seen the movie, studio Ghibli just made it that good. Each time the thunder clapped Marsie would jump a bit, but each time it was less and less. Then, almost inevitably she was snoring quietly in my arms. No matter how I looked at her, she was adorable from her tiny paws to her soft fur.

But there was no need to sit around with a sleeping lady in my lap. Gently, oh so gently, I picked her up; holding her tiny body to my chest to not disturb her. For a moment she looked troubled, her face scrunching as tiny paws gripped my upper arms.

"Shuuush it's ok, you're ok '' I whispered as I carried her to the bedroom. She fussed a bit, but ultimately stopped, nuzzling into my chest.

"There we go" I cooed, setting her in my bed as she sniffled a few times in panic before settling down and nuzzling deep into the covers that I wrapped around her.

I smiled at the sight of her, in my bed and all snuggled up. Cute, didn't even describe it. Even when thunder clapped, she simply nuzzled deeper into the blankets, a content smile on her face.

"That takes care of Marsie, time to sleep" I thought to myself as I sauntered to the couch, stripping down to my boxer briefs. I still had a thick enough blanket to keep me warm and a comfortable enough pillow. I had actually gotten used to sleeping on the couch like a husband in the doghouse, it was actually quite comfortable I thought. A loud thunderclap sounded and I simply pulled my blanket around me closer, listening for Marsie in case she woke up again. After a few long moments I let myself succumb to sleep, satisfied she was fully and truly asleep

~~~~

"A-Anon?"

I was in the middle of a field, sitting at a picnic table with a Chevy el Camino that was drinking Dr. Pepper™ through a straw with its grate/mouth. It looked up at me as it sipped its drink, blinking its headlights at me.

"A-anon wake up PLEASE"

I opened my eyes to Marsie shaking me violently, her eyes searching around in fear.

"Huh wassah Marshie?" I mumbled, half rolling over towards her as thunder crashed.

"Please C-come hold me I-I'm s-so s-scared!" She whimpered, half jumping onto me and half crawling into my arms.

I didn't even really consciously react; or at least I didn't remember thinking about it. Instead I was up, Marsie in my arms while lumbering towards the bedrooms. When at last I got to my bed, I simply fell over, too tired to care. my arms fell around a tiny form, a something wrapping around my arm, legs wrapping around my waist, my arms pulling a plushie to my chest in comfort from the before, before I was pulled to this reality. I barely noticed as my dreams overtook me once again.

I awoke in the late morning based on the shadows cast by my thick curtains designed to block sunlight; they were good but not perfect because they let a little light through. The sound of light rain pitter pattered outside as the clouds let through only a little sunlight. Those few rays were filtered through rain and deep cloud cover, illuminating the scene before me, albeit in dark shadows. Marsie was in my arms, her head resting on my chest with her arms around me. She was the perfect little spoon in every way, smaller than me yet ready to snuggle against me. For a moment I simply smiled at the cute visual, only to notice that I was also feeling her fur on my chest. My BARE chest.

I must've stripped in my sleep while on the couch or maybe I had a few too many drinks. Internally, I panicked because here I was holding a half-naked tiny mouse anthro while at the same time being VERY underdressed. In fact, the more I thought about the situation, the more I tried to scooch away from her. Tiny claws grabbed my boxers and my skin as large brown eyes met mine.

"Y-you don't have to go Anon" Marsie almost begged, snuggling closer to me. “I like you- err the feeling of your skin"

I tried to shift my hips away from her as she spoke. I had what most men had when they first woke up and I didn't want Marsie to notice the stiffness. Marsie however had other plans, simply shimmying over to press her body against mine. Tiny paws guided my arms around her midriff and her hips.

"T-thank you Anon, you've g-given me your home, your bed and your comfort. We've been so c-close, m-maybe we can take this to the next level" she stammered, nervously shaking in my arms. In response I simply plant a small kiss on the top of her head, squeezing softly.

"I Would Love to take this to the next level Marsie" I murmured as I felt a long ropey tail wrap around one of my legs.

"You mean it? Like we're ...g-going out?" Marsie squeaked quietly in surprise, trying to pull away from me, suddenly bashful. Like I was going to let that was gonna happen; I pulled her in closer to me.

"Yea like we're now boyfriend and girlfriend" I responded, gently rubbing the spot between her ears affectionately. "What guy wouldn't want such a cute Girlfriend anyways?"

"Me? Cute?!" Marsie mumbled to herself, burying her face in her paws.

"Yes you, Cute, now do you wanna snuggle with me for a little longer or get up? I can make breakfast" I said, rolling my eyes at her, although she couldn't see it. Her response was to force her butt against my lap and pull my arms tighter around her. She looked up at me with her big brown eyes, hair a mussed mess and just melted into me, her body contouring to mine in a deep sigh of satisfaction.

"I always wanted to be the little spoon" she yawned, guiding one of my hands under her shirt to feel the soft fur of her tummy.

"Well, you're gonna be my little spoon for a while" I murmured, nuzzling my face into her neck for a moment.

"And tonight we can totally f-f-f-Fu... Hang out and play Mario kart right?" Marsie stammered out, mixing up her words.

"Yes we can play Mario kart" I responded, then murmuring right into the closest ear "And maybe fuck"

Marsie squealed helplessly in embarrassment and covered her face with her paws, pulling her ears to cover her eyes. I simply smiled and

"Promise?" She finally asked, letting go of her ears to stare up at me once more. I gave her a little squeeze and kissed the spot between her ears.

"Promise, now shush it's only 6 AM and I want more sleep" I said as she nuzzled closer to me with a happy content sigh.

I felt sleep beginning to take me and I snuggled Marsie once more. What an odd way to start a relationship, but who cares, I had a beautiful (Cute) woman in my bed and in my arms. I fell back to sleep with love in my heart and soft fur in my arms.
