Chapter 7 - Partner's (1)

"I want to be Partners" I say looking directly into his eyes point blank.

"P-p-pardners???" Inv Stutters this in surprise.

"Yes… think of it as… a more special version of mates" I slowly say to Inv. I know what I'm saying is complete nonsense, but at this point I'm all in.

"T-teres a stag abov mates!??!" Inv says back to me somehow falling for my complete bullshit… which makes him even cuter…

"Yeah, you see… Mates aren't as special as partners… Mates are just there for each other and stuff… while partners…" I slowly back my face away from his and start slowly rubbing my paws against the fur on his chest.

"Are inseparable" I finish my sentence while feeling a wide grin spread across my face. I think I'm starting to get addicted to the feeling of Inv's fur. It's like nothing I've ever felt before!

"I-inswepabl???"

"Yup! I never leave your side, and you never leave mine. Where you go, I go, where I go, you go. I will only look at you while you only look at me" I say in a somewhat manic tone as I rub his chest a little faster feeling myself getting even more excited.

"Weally? y-yu wud stay wit me???" Inv says with wide eyes.

"Of course I would! That's what partners are for…"

"B-bu ar u sur??? I… I kno im not ta bes lokin… I kno i don loak nomal compar tu oters…" Inv says to me. Hearing him say this sort of catches me off guard.

"Inv why are you putting yourself down like that?" I ask Inv. Did being called a monster by others make him that insecure on how he looks? I swear imma knock the shit outta whoever said that!

"Cmon Joey… wook a me…" my thoughts of revenge are halted when I hear Inv say this. Listening to what he said I start looking at him even though I was already doing that.

'But hey it gives me a better excuse to look at him more'

"I don have nomal fur or sken like u… I cant contol wa colo it is… a-a-an loak at me arm!! I-i-it lok noting liak yous!" Inv tells me the details of himself I've already learned about him. My excitement from earlier dampens a bit from his words.

"Inv hold on… why would you care about that?" I ask in seriousness

"A-ah… wel… i-i don wan u tu be scared of me…" hearing this I wonder to myself. Why the heck would I be scared? I'm literally sitting on your chest right now with zero fear still rubbing my paws on your chest!

"Why would I be scared of you?" I genuinely ask. Being a little serious, I'm slowly starting to regain my clarity from my excited state earlier. Even with my clarity coming back however I keep rubbing my paws on his chest. He hasn't asked me to stop yet so ima keep going.

"W-wen I firs trid tu talk too u, u loaked scar…" hearing this I stop my paws for a second.

Well… he isn't wrong… I wouldn't say I was scared though. More like I was closer to fighting him to the death.

"I… was startled yeah but… that's because it's been a very long time since I've seen someone else that didn't attack me on sight" this part is actually true. Even though I wasn't attacked at first there was still the cautionary part of me thinking I was going to be attacked.

It also didn't help with whatever was going on when I first saw Inv. I don't hear any more voices, and I can listen to him smoothly now… I really need to check that passive when I get the chance. I'm pretty sure that's the main reason why I can comfortably interact with Inv right now.

"A-atack? But I woulnt do dat…" I see Inv's big ears flop down on the sides of his head. It sort've reminds me of a rabbit's ears… that's really cute!

Not being able to help myself, I take my paws off of Inv's chest and reach for Inv's ears, I gently grab both of Inv's ears and feel them between my paws.

'W-woah… why… are these so smooth?'

Instead of the feeling that the rest of Inv's fur gives, they give the feeling of something similar to an egg bug but with really soft fur???

When I think I can't be surprised any further I find something else that surprises me!

"U-uhh Joey??" Hearing Inv my train of thought is stopped. Shit I did it again! I really have to stop randomly touching him like this!

Looking down at Inv I see his skin has turned red with a hint of pink. Seeing this I take this as a good sign… he's not pushing me away at least!

Thinking for an excuse to why I did what I just did I come up with the perfect action in this situation!

"Well, I know that now Inv… since you didn't attack me, I'm not scared of you anymore" while saying this I gently grab his ears between my paws and lift them back up on top of Inv's head to where it was before.

"W-weally?"

"Yes… don't you think if I was scared, I wouldn't be so… close to you?" I say to Inv in a slow deep voice.

I let go of his ears and trace my paws down along his head. Purposely going slow savoring the feeling Inv's fur and skin gives me.

I can feel a slight shiver come from Inv due to my action. Feeling this my heart starts racing like never before. My confidence is slowly starting to build up due to him not rejecting my advances.

Tracing my paws down further along his neck I reach his chest.

"And about the way you look…" I start speaking as I slowly move my paws in circles on his chest.

"I think you look amazing… So, who cares if you don't look like the others? That just makes you even more unique…" I say while looking at him. After saying this I notice his skin becomes an even mixture of pink and red.

"A-a-ah u-u-u tink s-so???" Inv Stutters as if what he just heard was unbelievable.

"I know so" I say with full honesty. I take my paws off of Inv's chest.

Slowly I start moving myself backwards along Inv's chest closer to his stomach. After moving a bit backwards, I slowly lay down on my stomach right on top of his chest.

Since I'm immensely shorter and smaller then Inv I can do this without really worrying of hurting him.
