Well, Michael left about an hour ago, with his relationship with Penny back in place. But Bolt still has some making up of his own to do.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bolt. Disney does.

Overwhelmed and Understood

"Like I said, Bolt; there are lots of ways to love a person. And for Penny and Michael… it happens to be sexual." Rhino explained to the broken-hearted shepherd.

"I can't find that love, Rhino." Bolt said in a slump.

"Sure you can. It just won't be with Penny. There's actually someone I know who loves you like that." Rhino said

"Who?"

"She's sitting out on the back porch right now, wondering where her dog went."

"What are you… no."

"Oh yes, Bolt. Go talk to her. She needs it."

"But Rhino, I don't love Mittens like that… at least I think I don't."

"Bolt, do you remember when Mittens and I first came to live with you? When we had to stay at the vet's office for 4 days before the paperwork was finished?"

Yeah." Bolt said nonchalantly, hoping Rhino would get to the point.

"Do you remember how you felt being away from her for that long? When we saw you out in the lobby, you told me that you nearly went crazy being away from her." Rhino explained in more detail. Bolt looked around the room, trying to hide his nervousness from Rhino as best he could.

"Wh-what are you talking about?" Bolt asked

"I believe you put it: 'I almost lost my mind being away from Mit… I mean, from you guys for so long.'" Rhino said doing an impersonation of Bolt. The shepherd's started to beat out of his chest, which Rhino was quick to notice.

"And that adrenaline rush you're feeling right now? That's what it feels like when you first realize it."

"Rhino, I think you've been watching too much TV."

"No, I haven't. I don't watch that love crap. I'd order 'Crazy Nights at the Hilton' on Pay-Per View if I could because that's just porn, but I don't know Penny's mom's credit card information. Plus, I'M A HAMSTER. I CAN'T SPEAK HUMAN!" Rhino said getting somewhat irritated. The expression on Bolt's face didn't change much, but his mind was going in more directions than he cared to count. At one point, he'd just lost Penny as his lover; but Rhino was telling him that Mittens wanted to fill that void, to be his lover. Bolt then realized just how much he really did care for Mittens. He did miss her while she was at the vet; he would worry about her when he thought she was hurt. And… he could see her as his mate.

"Rhino, I… I think you're right. I do love Mittens."

"Well, it took ya long enough." Rhino said rolling away in his ball, away from Bolt and towards the couch.

"Wait, what do I say to her?" Bolt asked still confused.

"Bolt, you know you messed up, so start with an apology. After that, just speak from your heart."

"Rhino, I can't… I don't know how…"

"Don't you ever say that you can't. You can do anything, Bolt. You're the most be-awesome creature on the face of this planet; the word 'impossible' is not in your vocabulary. I know, because I kicked it out." Rhino said sarcastically before continuing his rant.

"Speaking from your heart is the only way she'll know how you really feel. She loves you, Bolt. Don't let her slip away."

Bolt looked at Rhino for a few more seconds before looking down at the ground, not in shame, but in thought. He wanted to believe that Mittens would forgive him for what happened, but his fear of rejection felt more overwhelming than facing her. But Rhino did have a very valid point: If he said it truthfully, she'd see it on his face. Bolt looked up slowly with a determined look on his face, one that Rhino couldn't help but smile at.

"I know that look. Go get her, Bolt." Rhino said with encouragement. Bolt was able to show a brief smile before turning to the back door, and poking his head through the pet door. He did see Mittens sitting on the banister nearly that back steps on the porch. As he stepped all the way through, he saw Mittens turn her head to meet his eyes.

"Can we talk?" Bolt asked

"What about?" Mittens asked, not really caring about the answer.

"About why I've been acting like a total dumbass lately." Bolt said blatantly. Mittens just rolled her eyes at the remark, knowing that his words couldn't have reigned more true.

"Well…" Bolt asked trying to get her attention. Mittens let out a moderate sigh before turning herself around on the railing while still looking down at him with a slight glare.

"You've got 30 seconds." Mittens said

"Fair enough. I'm sorry. You were right. You and Rhino both. Penny doesn't love me like that, and I feel so stupid for thinking that she did… She was just using me. But I've never been in love before, and I thought that was what it was supposed to feel like. That adrenaline rush that you feel when you're close enough to someone, or how you worry about them when you think they're hurt or in pain; and the sad thing is that I felt that… but it wasn't with Penny. It was with you, Mittens… I love you." Bolt said in the most heartfelt way he could. Mittens was keeping her stone façade in check, but underneath, her heart was crying out. The dog she had grown to love was finally admitting his feelings for her, and she was kicking him down for not knowing what love was really about. She wished she had explained her feelings for him sooner, but now was as good of a time as any. She let a few tears fall to the deck below before she spoke.

"That was actually 32 seconds, but I'll let it slide." Mittens said as she started crying more heavily. Bolt felt his own set of tears falling from his eyes as he walked towards the railing.

"Get down here, and let me hold you." Bolt said finally crying at a state of contentment. Mittens did as she was told and jumped down to the deck, where Bolt was waiting with a chest she could bury her face in and ball as much as she wanted. She plowed into his chest, knocking him on his side, where his forearms wrapped around her curved body.

"I'm so sorry Mittens."

"Please don't be." Mittens said happily. She looked up at the dog she loved more than life itself, and inched her way closer to his muzzle, and giving his nose a slight lick. Bolt jumped back a little at her sandpaper tongue, only causing Mittens to snicker a little.

"I can do you one better." Bolt said pulling the black cat back towards his muzzle, where their lips met in an over-the-top arousing kiss. Bolt could feel the fireworks going off in his mind as he felt that adrenaline rush he'd been longing for. Mittens felt her entire body go limp as she let Bolt hold her freely; his firm and strong arms cradling her like she was meant to be laid in them, not caring what was going on around her. Slowly, they released the hold they wanted so desperately to last forever, and gazed into each other's deep-colored eyes; Mittens' of emerald green, and Bolts of pure amber. Just to have him look at her with those brown orbs sent a shockwave up her back; feeling like she could get lost in them.

"Bolt, you have such beautiful eyes." Mittens said quietly, almost hushed.

"Thank you. Yours are just as gorgeous." Bolt said in the same quiet tone. She turned away, trying to hide a blush, only to find Bolt pulling face back towards his with his muzzle.

"I don't want you to have to hide anything from me." Bolt said softly. Just the way he spoke made more tears come to Mittens' eyes as she gently nestled her head back on his chest and closed her eyes. Bolt smiled as he laid his own head on top of hers, and waited to fall asleep. As they curled up on the porch, Rhino sat and watched them from the screen door to the backyard, and just couldn't stop smiling.

"Like I said: Not in your vocabulary." Rhino said to himself.

SIX HOURS LATER

Rhino is sitting on the couch watching an old rerun of 'Bolt', when Bolt walks in from the kitchen, having just finished dinner.

"Hey Rhino."

"Hey Bolt. How are you and Mittens doing?" Rhino asked

"We're doing great… thanks to you." Bolt said complimenting the hamster.

"Oh Bolt. You don't need to thank me."

"Yeah I do, Rhino. You're the reason I have Mittens as my mate, and for that, you deserve a reward from yours truly." Bolt said. Rhino looked at Bolt with a shocked look on his face.

"A what?" Rhino asked still blown away.

"Savor the moment, because this probably won't happen again." Bolt said getting to his feet, and standing in front of Rhino from about 4 feet away on the floor. Suddenly, Bolt put one paw out in front and bowed his head before the hamster, holding it for about 10 seconds. Rhino's mouth hit the floor in response to the gesture, frozen stiff and practically paralyzed. As Bolt pulled his head back up, he watched Rhino try to find the right words, but having no luck.

"You… I… th… bu… bu… ahhh." Rhino said before fainting on the couch cushion. Bolt smiled and tilted his head a little before turning away and walking outside. He was on his way to the barn, where Mittens was waiting for him. She wanted him to meet her out there for something, but he had no idea what for. As he pushed the barn door open with his nose, he walked around a few stalls before spotting Mittens in the back stall surrounded by loose hay.

"Hey Wags." Mittens said happily.

"Hey Mittens. Well, you got me out here. What's up?" Bolt asked. Mittens got to her feet, and walked closer to Bolt before brushing against his side, and turning around to face him.

"Follow me." Mittens said walking back towards the loose hay, with Bolt following her, just like she had instructed. The shepherd lay down in the hay, with Mittens sprawling herself on top of his stomach and giving his sheath a light rub with her tail. Bolt closed his eyes and let out a soft moan, causing Mittens heart rate to speed up. Bolt smiled now having figured out what was on her mind. Mittens leaned in closer and kissed his lips, only to find his tongue pushing through her mouth and caressing the inside of her maw. Her rough tongue in contrast with his, like that of velvet made her level of ecstasy grow even higher.

"I got this one, baby." Mittens said moving her way down Bolt's front and let the tip of his penis poke out as she gave it a lick. Bolt's moan went from breathy and silent to low and easily audible, as Mittens' tongue worked its sensual magic. Her licking was soon replaced by an engulfing as Bolt's full-grown member presented itself to her. It was her prize, and she would see to it that he would be pleased with the outcome of that night. Bolt's front claws found the floor of the barn beneath the brushed hay as they dug into it, scratching it slowly with every second of pleasure he was receiving. Mittens stopped after a heavy moan suggested his eagerness to feel more.

"Now it's my turn." Bolt said as Mittens got on her stomach with Bolt rolling over and approaching her from the rear. His shadow seemed to darken the space that surrounded her, causing her to shrink back a little, mostly out of a natural reaction. Seeing this, Bolt laid his body down over hers and placed his arms around her chest.

"It's okay Mittens. I'm right here. You can trust me, okay?" Bolt said with assurance. His voice being placed so close to her ears gave her an immense amount of comfort, and her fear seemed to completely dissipate. Bolt gently placed his dick at Mittens' entrance as it connected briefly before he pushed himself into her. Her gasps and moans were definitely louder than Bolt's were, but that didn't mean she wasn't enjoying it. As his member fully shoved itself inside her tight walls, he began his rhythmic thrusts; starting slowly at first, but gaining momentum as the seconds ticked by. With every push and pull, Mittens groaned in ecstasy, having never felt a better sensation in her entire life.

"Ohhhhh, ohhhh ahhhhhhhhh, Bolt!" Mittens said almost in a subconscious state of mind, not having any ability to speak, not that she minded one bit. It was as close to heaven for her as she could get. Bolt could feel his climax building after about another minute of continuous fucking, and he wondered how it could get any better than that. Almost like it was meant to be, Bolt and Mittens released both of their loads at the same time, causing both of them to scream out in rapture. With Bolt's knot still lodged inside of Mittens' pussy, his time spent waiting for it to cease was spent laying on top of her with his head right next to hers as he gave her face and neck light licks. Sure enough, his swollen member died down and softened to the point of disconnection. As he pulled, Mittens' slow moan stayed steady, and her breath became her only source of speaking, having lost he natural voice amongst the adrenaline and cum mixture still brewing in her loosened walls. Bolt laid himself back on top of his new mate, his legs buckling beneath him and unable to move any further.

"Ugh, I'm sorry baby. I can't move." Bolt said apologetically

"Hey, it's okay. That was a wild ride I will never forget." Mittens said, still without a voice.

"I know. I'm glad you enjoyed it, because it's gonna as often as you want, for the rest of your life… our lives." Bolt said as his grip on Mittens' chest tightened. Mittens began to cry at the thought of having Bolt around as her mate.

"I love you, Bolt."

"And I love you, Mittens. Don't you ever forget that."

The End!

That's the end, everyone. I'm happy to have this story wrapped up. Now I can continue with my other two stories: 'Decoded' and 'Over the Hedge: Family and Feelings'. That's right guys. It's me… krp101. I created this 2nd account on FanFiction because I wanted another domain where I could write more of a genre that I've grown to enjoy… erotica. But now I see that so many amazing writers come out of this site, realizing just what kind of writers they've become in the time they've been writing. I don't need two profiles to write what I want, because being a writer of multiple genres means that I fit in with 80% of the crowd. Thanks for making me a part of your writing lives, and I'm happy to have made this experience one that you guys could enjoy as much as me. 1derwolf may no longer exist, but krp101 always will.

Shalom!
