Noah sighed as he leafed through the pages of his favorite book while he sat at home, on the couch, by himself. His parents had gone out of town for the weekend, his siblings were all out and busy with other activities, his girlfriend Emma was busy with preparing for law school, and his best buddy Owen had volunteered to appear on a big televised eating competition, so the snarky bookworm was left with nothing to do for the whole weekend. And while he normally would try to hide it with a sarcastic quip of some kind, he really wished for some kind of companionship right now.

"Out of all the people in the world that have had to just spend time alone on a weekend like this, why did it have to be me?" He asked no one in particular, as he put his book aside, and got up to take a long, hot shower, to as he put it "drown in his loneliness".

Over in the kitchen, his Golden Labrador, Hugo, was just eating out of his food bowl the whole time when he overheard his master voicing how disappointed he was, with having none of his friends to keep him company. And that made the dog whimper in sadness. He loved his master a great deal, and didn't like hearing him be so sad, and wished he could do something to cheer him up. He tried and tried as hard as he could to think of something, and was almost close to giving up, until suddenly, he got an idea in his doggy brain as he panted excitedly and his tail wagged back and forth. This idea of his was so good, it would surely be able to perk his master up, without a doubt!

Noah just got done with his shower, and had stepped out of the bathroom, with nothing but a towel wrapped around his private section, when he heard loud barking, and found his dog charging towards him rapidly, and didn't seem to be slowing down, even when Noah tried to command him to do so.

"Uh, no Hugo! No, down boy! Do-OOOOWN!" He cried out as he was pounced on, and knocked down onto the floor. He looked up and saw his beloved Golden Lab standing over him, drool dripping from his tongue as he panted, before he leaned down, and gave his master a big, sloppy, friendly lick on the face. And that was quickly followed by another lick. And another, until Noah's face was getting licked all over.

"Pfff-Hahahahahahahhahahaha! Nohohoho, Huhuhuhuhuhugo! Gehehehehehet ohohohohohoff of me! Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!" He said between giggles and laughs as he tried to turn away from his dog's tongue, but Hugo just followed his every movement as his tongue never left his master's skin.

Hugo then proceeded to move down from his master's face, and refocused his attention on his neck, slathering it with loving licks, as well. The normally cynical bookworm just continued to smile and laugh as he tried to push the Golden Lab away. "Dohohohohown, bohohohohohoy! Dohohohohown! Yohohohohohohohou knohohohohohohow hohohohohow tihihihihihihicklish I am! Heeheeheeheeheehee!"

Oh, Hugo knew that very well, and that's exactly why he was doing this to begin with. When he was thinking about what he could possibly do, he had remembered back to the times when he was a puppy, and Noah was a kid, and how he was always a frequent target for bullies when going to school. And during those times, Hugo always used to pounce on his master when he got home from school and proceeded to lick him silly all over to get a smile back on his face, and it always worked. So, he figured it would work here, as well.

And considering how much laughing and smiling he was doing right now, it looked like it was doing the trick perfectly, which had prompted Hugo to lick more vigorously, therefore making it all the more ticklish for Noah, who was so overshaken with laughter that he couldn't even lift his hands up to try and push his overly affectionate dog away from him.

And while Hugo knew very well that Noah's feet were his most sensitive spot, he decided that he didn't need to go that far with perking up his master, and settled on finishing up at his stomach, which was his second most sensitive spot.

Noah's eyes widened for a moment, before a smile formed on his face as he busted out laughing at the wet tickly feeling, being placed on his stomach. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO, HUHUHUHUHUHUHUGO! DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOWN BOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOY, DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOWN! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He commanded between laughs, but the dog seemed intent on continuing this for a while.

Noah was left completely at the mercy of Hugo's wet, tickly tongue traveling up and down the exposed bare skin on his stomach. The entire house was filled with the bookworm's laughter, and the wet noises that came from the dog's constant licking. Noah's laughing seemed to get particularly higher-pitched when Hugo's tongue passed over his belly button, and he just kept at that.

Finally, after a good long while of licking, Hugo finally stopped and backed off of his master, who sat up and grimaced as he was dripping with drool. "Oh joy, oh rapture, now it looks like I have to shower again." He remarked in a deadpan tone, as he stepped back inside to wash up again.

About a half hour later, he got done in there, and stepped out of the bathroom, fully clothed. He looked and saw Hugo staring at him with an innocent doggy smile on his face. And while Noah would usually have scolded him for jumping like that unexpectedly, he knew that his dog's intentions were in a good place. He sighed as he rolled his eyes playfully and smiled.

"You're lucky that you're cute, boy. And I'm lucky to have you in my life." He remarked as the dog panted and wagged his tail while rolling over onto his back, indicating that he wanted a belly rub, which the bookworm was happy to do as he got down on his knees and proceeded to do so. Hugo's panting got louder and his tail wagged faster at this show of affection.

Alright, another idea done, and you can imagine that I had fun with this one, since it involves licking from an animal, though interestingly I realized that this is actually the first idea written so far to not have it happen on the feet.

Admittedly, this is an older idea I had gotten a while ago, that I just recently decided I wanted to do, but just couldn't find time to do so, with everything going on in my life that I've stated before, in addition to following along with what the election is shaping up to be so far. But it's done now, and I'll still continue to keep things up to date when I have the chance.
