Balto
Kodi's Deepest Secret
Chapter 1
Therapy
For those of you who don't know (but I'm pretty sure you do), this story will take place two years after Balto III: Wings Of Change. We pick up in Nome on January 13, 2006, during a session of animal therapy.
"I've known Kirby for what seems like a lifetime." Kodi said, lying in a therapy chair. "We've been friends for a very long amount of time and I was pretty sure he liked me too. But having a long time off of work and mushing stuff, I've had more time and space to think. Quite recently, I'd been obsessed with him. I've dreamt about how his hot breath would feel on the back of my neck as we made love. Then, thoughts of me using his junk occured and our honeymoon as we kissed under a sunset... I'm just being a pervert right now, aren't I?"
"Kodi, you're at an age where love is only normal." said a female therapist dog. "You are not being a pervert, you're fantasizing about him."
"But what am I supposed to tell my parents?" asked Kodi. "They don't know I'm gay and they don't condone gays. Kirby's parents don't condone them either."
"I understand that it will be hard for your parents and that it will be hard for you to tell, but they must know the truth." said the therapist.
"So, am I supposed to tell Dusty too?" asked Kodi. "She'll be heartbroken, because I know she likes me. Then, Misty... boy, is she gonna be pissed."
"Just remember to keep calm and take breaths." said the therapist.
Later, Kodi walked out of the office to find Kirby right outside.
"Kirby..." Kodi began. "Just the dog I needed to see."
"What?" Kirby said in disappointment. "You have a problem with me?"
"No." said Kodi.
"Then why are you in counseling because of me?" asked Kirby.
Kodi sighed.
"Because of these... feelings." he said.
"Feelings?" Kirby said in confusion.
"I didn't know what to do with them." said Kodi. "I just needed help from a professional. Don't laugh or make fun of me or anything, but Kirby, I uh... I'm in love with you."
"Really?" Kirby asked with a happy smile on his face. "Because... I love you too."
"Oh Kirby, that's great!" Kodi said when his and Kirby's met.
"You have such beautiful eyes." Kirby flirted.
Kodi then smiled as he got a bashful pose.
Kirby and Kodi then closed their eyes and received their own first kiss from each other.
