Love Song

[A Rock Dog FanFiction]

Chapter Five – The Song

Bodi awoke with an intense pain in his neck. His eyes slowly opened and his groggy, blurred vision of the world came into focus. He felt the cold hardwood floor on the side of his face, then sat up and slowly looked around. All across the room were pieces of notebook paper - crumpled up, in stacks, and stuck to his legs by the sweat of his fur.

Smiling, he now realized what they were for.

The flustered teenage dog shot up to his feet and quickly began scrambling to pick up all the necessary papers, then fumbling to organize them in the correct order. Grabbing his phone, he shot out of his room's door.

Running out of the apartment, down the stairs and onto the busy city street. The sun pierced his eyes, yet he paid no attention. His mind was elsewhere – a rare occurrence wherein Bodi was focused on a goal instead of simply going with the flow and taking in the world.

The subway was crowded and slow, but soon after Bodi was nearly at his destination. As he jogged down the sidewalk, he caught sight of tall, white brick walls. Speeding up, he finally reached it – the large metal gate. Angus Scattergood's Mansion Gate. Bodi very cautiously located the keypad on the center, gently pressing the green bell button, notifying Angus that there is a visitor at the gate.

The frustrated white cat looked down from the television to his phone, noting the doorbell notification. He quickly got up and sprinted to the door, nearly slipping on the polished wood floor. Once there, he slammed a large red button, which activated a mechanism that opened both the door, the gate, and parted his lawn's hedge maze.

"I swear I ordered that pizza AN HOUR AGO, YA BLOODY-..." Angus shouted, before stopping and realizing that it was not a pizza delivery man, and in fact a flustered teenage dog approaching him.

"Oh..."

"Angus! Good morning!" Bodi gleefully greeted, "Did-, Did you order a pizza for breakfast?"

"Well," he said, checking his watch, "It's three in the afternoon, mate. What brings you here? Ain't our jam session scheduled for Friday?"

"Oh I'm sorry, I could come back at a later time-"

"No no, you've gone through all the trouble, and it sure seems like you got something worth sharin' there...-" the cat insisted, motioning to the stack of disarrayed notebook papers Bodi was carrying under his arm.

"Oh, yes! I've got to show you this!" the dog excitedly shouted.

Bodi ran up to an empty table and threw his papers onto it. Sitting down on his knees, he leaned up and arranged the lyrics into the correct order. Angus hesitantly took a seat next to him, chuckling at the sight before him.

"Now, now mate you've gone and done something brilliant, I could tell! Haha!" Angus laughed.

"It's still pretty rough, I could use some help on like, the lyrics. But I think I want to keep this song simple and acoustic."

"Acoustic? Hah, we're a rock band, Bodi-"

"Here, lemme just, uh, give you a sample-" Bodi sat up and cleared his throat. "I'll just..."

"I'm listenin', go on, mate."

Bodi looked to Angus, his papers, and to a nearby large window. Through it, he could see the city. A large flare of light cast a magical glow onto the rooftops and glass windows of skyscrapers, bringing an interesting and vibrant contrast to the surrounding nature. He could spot the apartment building that housed him and her.

Darma.

Then he began to sing.

"A new city. Strange sounds, people and I roamed.

Cold gazes colder than the weather back at home.

Then I saw you.

And you smiled at me.

I talked to you.

You were so sweet.

Days passed and our lives changed a ton.

Lots of stuff happened and most of it was fun.

But my time with you.

Was the best part.

My days with you.

Warm up my heart.

You're in my mind, you're on my head.

You gave me a house, you gave me a bed.

New feeling.

Amazing feeling.

Powerfully healing.

Wonderfully pleasing."

Bodi's gentle, smooth voice trailed out as he slowly opened his eyes to see a widely-grinning Angus.

The rock cat then began to chuckle in a low, bassy rhythm.

"Now putting a love song into our debut album will be a pretty interesting move..." He chuckled.

"Love song?" Bodi questioned.

Angus blinked.

"That song you wrote...That's a love song."

"Love...song? But...Darma's my best friend..."

An awkward silence washed over the both of them as Bodi's last words echoed throughout the cavernous rooms of Angus's Mansion.

The cat burst into hysterical laughter, rolling onto his back and gripping his sides, legs kicking and tail flailing.

"Whats so funny?"

He continued laughing. Bodi was now very confused and somewhat frustrated.

"What makes you think that I wrote a love song?" He aggressively questioned.

"You...Haha!...You're in love and you don't even know it, mate! Hahaha!"

Bodi's face flushed red.

"I..."

He began to grow extremely anxious, his heart beating rapidly, his mind racing, and the laughter of Angus even further disorientating him.

Bodi looked at his feet.

"I need to go." He mumbled.

He scrambled to his feet and ran out the door.

Hours later...

Bodi stood at Darma's door.

After getting only a couple hours of sleep, staying up all night working on a song, running back and forth across the city, Bodi was tired, exhausted and extremely sweaty.

"Maybe I should come back another time..." Bodi thought.

But then Darma opened the door.

There she stood, looking just as distraught as he did. Messy, matted fur. Droopy, heavily-lidded eyes. She wore a large, loose-fitting white shirt. Bodi noticed that her bra was pink. He sweated even more.

"Bodi. Good morning. What're you-...what've you been doing?" She inquired, her voice raspy.

The flustered teenage dog's heart raced.

A simple action. Darma yawning and rubbing some sleep out of her eyes. Yet it was these short, few seconds that Bodi's suspicions were confirmed.

He was in love with her.

"But does she feel the same?" He thought.

He then noticed it's been almost a full minute he hasn't said anything. He walked past her into the bedroom, gently brushing her shoulder and sitting down on her bed.

"Hey, c-could I talk to you about something, Darma?" Bodi stammered.

Darma was concerned – a little scared, even. Bodi being serious was very out of character for him. She slowly walked to him, tenderly taking a seat beside him.

"What is it?" She asked.

The two were sitting a fair distance apart.

Bodi looked at Darma's piercing eyes, to her fidgeting paws, to an object in the corner of the room.

Then an idea struck his mind.

He quickly stood up and grabbed the object.

"What're you-" She began to ask.

Bodi held the acoustic guitar in his arms, tuning it and preparing to play.

"Just...tell me what this makes you feel." He said.

"I don't understand-"

"Just...listen, okay?"

Darma nodded.

Bodi began.

"A new city. Strange sounds, people and I roamed.

Cold gazes colder than the weather back at home.

Then I saw you.

And you smiled at me.

I talked to you.

You were so sweet.

Days passed and our lives changed a ton.

Lots of stuff happened and some of it was fun.

But my time with you.

Was the best part.

My days with you.

Warm up my heart.

You're in my mind, you're on my head.

You gave me a house, you gave me a bed.

New feeling.

Amazing feeling.

Powerfully healing.

Wonderfully pleasing."

There was an awkward silence as Bodi set down the guitar.

He was already very close to her.

Bodi stood in front of her as she sat on the bed.

"Darma...Angus said t-that was a love song." He began.

She looked at him.

"That I love you..." He continued.

Bodi cleared his throat.

"And...I think he's right." He finished.

A look of realization stuck Bodi's face.

He backed up and looked around, avoiding her line of sight.

"I'm sorry, Darma. I-"

"I love you too."

Darma walked up to him and grabbed him by the shirt.

She hesitated, remembering last night, and that kiss he had.

The two were mere inches away from each other. They felt each other's breath.

"Last night...that kiss with Mia. I, uh...was that-" She began to ask.

"That was a mistake!" He quickly answered, "I didn't like her, like, that way. I mean she was nice, but-"

"It...meant nothing?"

"Yeah. Nothing. And it was bad."

Darma giggled.

"Bad?"

"It...it was my first kiss. It wasn't good. She...she was cold and pushy-"

Darma giggled again.

"And...how would you do it?"

"Um..."

Darma wickedly smiled at him.

"C-could I t-try? On you?"

There was an awkward silence between the two.

Just as Bodi was about to apologize, Darma spoke up.

"Yes, please," She whispered.

Bodi slowly leaned in.

He didn't close his eyes, he kept them open- he never wanted to stop looking at her. Bodi gently tilted his head, getting his muzzle into a fitting angle to lock with hers. Their lips tenderly met, both warm and coated with sweat and saliva. Seconds felt like hours as Bodi pushed deeper into her muzzle, their world crumbling away and everything else ceasing to exist, save for their intimate sensations.

Darma was enthralled. This was easily the best kiss she'd ever had. He pushed into her slowly yet passionately, strongly yet gently.

"His taste..."

Her eyes shot open and she pulled out of the kiss.

"Oranges!" She shouted, "You-you taste like oranges..."

"You...," Bodi began, taking deep breaths after every word, "...taste...like...cherries...and...love."

They warmly and lovingly smiled at each other.

He then wrapped her arms around her, gripping her tightly and burying her face into hers – crashing their lips together. Darma blushed as she felt his tough, strong arms around her, gripping her and squeezing her tightly. She threw her arms around his neck. As seconds passed, their passion increased. Darma fell backwards onto the bed, her face blushing as Bodi loomed over her. After a few frantic breaths, an idea came into her mind.

"B-Bodi?" She exhaled, gently running a paw down this side of the panting dog's face.

"Yes-yeah, Darma?" He croaked out nervously.

"Could, could you...lie back?"

Bodi's face turned a beet-red, and his heart rate tripled once more. After nervously nodding, he carefully rolled off of her and leaned back onto Darma's pillow. The two shifted into more comfortable positions, the vixen placing her paws on Bodi's strong chest.

The dog was in total and complete bliss. Every second, new feelings and thoughts flooded his mind and scrambled his brain. The sensation was unlike anything he'd ever felt.

Darma looked up slowly at him, batting her vibrant eyelashes and lovingly smiling. Bodi felt his heart stop once again.

She reached her paw forward and gripped the side of his bright green beanie. Bodi appeared nervous.

"C-Could I?" She mumbled.

The dog nodded.

With that, she slowly pulled the knit hat off of Bodi's head. As she did so, more and more of the dog's hair was revealed. Darma was surprised to see that the Mastiff actually had a full, long, head of hair. As she fully removed the beanie, she was met with the sight of a very rugged and different looking Bodi. Bangs of hair covered his left eye, and luscious locks rolled down the sides of his head and stopped just a bit after his neck.

Darma spoke without thinking.

"You look so frickin' hot right now."

"Heh, I-uh, thanks, Darma."

The vixen noticed his hesitation and nervousness.

"Are-are you okay, with this...?"

"I-Yeah...Are you?"

"Very."

Bodi kissed her once more, running his arms down and lightly gripping her lower back. He exhaled softly onto her muzzle, the warm air sending shivers down Darma's spine, enticing a small moan from her muffled mouth.

Darma reached her arms down and gently took hold of Bodi's red v-neck shirt. Slowly and sensually she lifted the cloth from his sweat-matted fur. She leaned back onto her haunches to get a better view of the spectacle. Halfway through, Bodi realized what she was trying to do, and made an effort to help her. Arching his back, he pulled his the rest of his shirt over his neck and head.

After doing so, he noticed Darma go completely silent, and her face display an unreadable look. Bodi was concerned.

"Darma, is there something wrong-"

"You're...jacked..." She exhaled.

"I'm what?" He asked, displaying an innocent look of confusion.

Darma was in total and utter awe at the sight before her. Images of that carefree and simple-minded rock dog with his traditional garments and knit hat were now a distant memory – what she saw before her was a rugged, long-haired, incredibly muscled and beefy Bodi.

Besides his stunning six pack and amazingly well-defined and sizable pectoral muscles, (both of which Darma heavily enjoyed), Bodi's light brown eyes anxiously peered into hers. Those hazel orbs told a story of their own – one of a simple Mastiff being happily overwhelmed by the power of true love.

As Darma tender trailed her paws over Bodi's muscular physique, she noticed him looking around frantically and breathing even more heavily.

She placed a hand on his cheek, bringing his eyes to her own.

"Calm down, Bodi...Babe."

"I'm fine, I just..I..."

"We're just gonna make out tonight, okay, Bodi?"

A look of relief washed over his face.

Then one of guilt and sadness.

"We could do more...if you want to-"

"No, Bodi, it's fine. Sorry, I probably pushed you a bit too far with the making out and stuff-"

"Darma, Don't apologize. I, uh, I wanted this too. It's just-"

"We're gonna take this slow, okay?"

Bodi smiled.

"Okay."

The two embraced each other with an intense passion, locking muzzles and continuing their tongue-wrestling. As time went on, Bodi grew more eager to taste more of Darma's mouth, his tongue exploring each inch of her and awkwardly sucking and slurping up her saliva. The vixen giggled, and went along with his odd method, but enjoyed it nonetheless.

As hours went by, the two grew more and more tired. Finally, Darma rolled off of Bodi's chest and snuggled up by his side. The two embraced and began spooning, just as Bodi whispered into her ear as the two fell asleep.

"I love you...so much, Darma."

The vixen turned her head to meet his eyes.

"I love you too, Bodi."

She leaned in, softly and passionately pressing her lips to his.

And the two slowly and gradually fell asleep.

Both eager to wake up and begin their new lives together.

The End
