Conrad couldn't decide if he was in heaven or hell. Yuuri's hands were rubbing all over him in a slow and soothing motion like a massage. His fingers threaded through the fur on his back from his shoulders to the base of his tail. It was on odd sensation, but he found he didn't have any complaints. He had to look away from Yuuri, his pale chest with droplets of water slowly traveling down his slim but slightly developing abbes was too much. He closed his eyes and decided to just enjoy the feelings Yuuri was giving him. He did feel a little guiltily that maybe he was taking advantage of Yuuri's kindness, but all thoughts on the matter abruptly screeched to a halt once he felt warm hands and rubbing fingers move up the inside of his back legs. He shuddered, it was getting to be too much. He felt that if Yuuri continued his path any further upward he might just jump the boy. This wouldn't have been such a problem if he was still human, but he found himself sorely regretting that he wasn't at the moment. Just as Conrad had to fight off the urge to start panting, he started to shake himself off hoping it would distract Yuuri from continuing, but at the same time half hoping it wouldn't.

Yuuri was laughing so much that Conrad felt like smiling and joining in. If the boy was having so much fun getting wet, why not get him even more wet? With that in mind he proceeded to come up to Yuuri and rub his wet fur all over the boy that was trying to put up a fight against it while practically giggling. Even while playing with Yuuri he still kept alert enough to notice a person coming up behind Yuuri from inside the house. He almost gave out a greeting from habit before he stopped and saw the camera in her hand a second before it flashed white. At the sound of her joyous noises he stopped playing along with Yuuri to properly look at her.

Judging by her happy disposition and reaction, he assumed she didn't have problems seeing Yuuri with a strange dog. 'That's one person's approval, two to go'. He figured that if Miko wanted him around, Shoma wouldn't have an option but to agree. The hard one would he Shori.

"Yuu-chan! Where did you find such a cute doggy?!"

For some reason at the mention of 'cute doggy' he didn't feel as comfortable as he did before. He knew Miko had a tendency to be a little…eccentric at time. More so if she thought something was cute. As Conrad was temporarily caught up in his own inner musings, he was rudely brought out of them when the next thing he heard was his, and now apparently 'her' new names ideas like Angel and such coming from an excited Miko.

'She wouldn't…she would.' Conrad silently lamented the slight blow to his ego and laid his head down on Yuuri's lap. All he could hope for now was that Yuuri would try and do something about it. He heard Yuuri try and make him sound more heroic and a little less feminine by the comparison, and to his pleasure, it seemed to be working.

"Your right Yuu-chan! He's more like a knight sent to protect his princess from the forces of darkness that would do harm to his fair lady!" Conrad couldn't help but find the idea rather amusing since he was somewhat close to that description. Maybe now he wouldn't be labeled with a female name, but then again, Miko just might try to name him after a famous heroine instead.

"Why not name him Conrad!" was Miko's sudden reply.

Yuuri's shriek of protest was the next thing he heard. 'That was unexpected, so she wants to name me after me? If I didn't know better I'd almost say she knew just who I really was.' This would make things easier for him in that he could respond to his real name faster than a new one, but he was sure that if it was something Yuuri named him, he could have done so just as fast new or not.

Conrad turned his head to get a better look at how Yuuri was handling this. He was slightly pleased to see the small cute blush gracing the boys' cheeks. Was naming him after himself really something to be so embarrassed about? From Yuuri's perspective, he was just naming a dog, but he supposed that if he got a pet he wouldn't be able to name it after Yuuri without some kind of commotion being made because of it. Yozak would defiantly make some jabs at him for it and his little brother wouldn't take it lying down either. His own mother would just love it though, almost as much as he was sure the maids would.

He could feel Yuuri was starting to shake from the cold air blowing on him and moved to the other side to try and block some of it while mother and son finished their conversation. After a few more minutes Miko finally noticed her son's now visible shaking and suggested that he dry them both off.

"Conrad, come here boy" Yuuri called. Conrad obedeantly followed after. He would have followed after him even if his name hadn't been called. He didn't plan to leave his boys side even once if he could help it. There was no telling where and when something was going to come after him. He had to make sure he was there when it did though.

Yuuri led them into the bath room and Conrad sat raptured as Yuuri started to dry himself off while taking his now wet and tightly clinging pants off. He knew Yuuri wasn't trying to give him a show, but boy was he anyway. Again that slight twinge of guilt sprang up in his stomach, but that was quickly put to the side to examine later when the now almost fully naked Yuuri tried to dry his wet fur off.

After drying him as much as he deemed necessary, his ever modest Yuuri dashed out of the bathroom and made a bee line for his room leaving to door open just long enough to let Conrad slip in after him. Conrad thought it was almost a shame that Yuuri was putting on a pair of pants. Yuuri had such pale and slender legs. Though they were somewhat muscular due to his active sports life, they never got to see the sun much. Conrad was trying hard just to focus his attention on the boys' legs and not look up. If he did he didn't know what he might try later.

So focused on Yuuri's legs and trying not to look up at what he was almost sure was a pair of Shin Makoku underwear that he almost missed the sound of the front door opening. It seemed that this new form had some distinct advantages, like improved hearing. His scene of smell had partially been blocked due to the shampoo, but if he had been able to smell Yuuri, he tried not to think about it.

When Shori called out to the rest of the house that he was home Conrad quickly brought himself back under control. Now would be the hard part. He knew Shori never really cared for him much and that was putting it lightly, but with his new form maybe he wouldn't have such a problem with him. After all, Conrad wasn't really 'Conrad' at the moment, other than in name that was.

Conrad followed Yuuri down stairs for his first meeting with Shori as Yuuri's potential new pet. Just as the pair were coming down the stairs Shori turned the corner and got his first look at Conrad. 'He might be an animal lover.' Conrad hoped.

"What in the world is that beast doing in our house!?" 'Or maybe not' Conrad mentally sighed. This was not going to be easy.
