“Mr. Vlad, the patient will see you now.” The skunk's eyes lifted up from staring at his own loose shoelaces, looking up at the nurse, his eyes suddenly filled with mirth. Finally, he would be able to see 'him.' Its been awhile since his last visit and he wanted to see him again so badly. The skunk rose from his seat glaring menacingly at it for the uncomfortable wait, and walked up to the nurse, hands in his pockets. “If you would please follow me sir.” The skunk stiffly nodded his head, his smooth black hair bobbing a bit, taking slow steps as the nurse lead on. “We must inform you that the patient was a bit rowdy earlier, so we had to restrain him. He shouldn't be any trouble for you but if you need us, just buzz us and we'll be there in a fashionable time.” Vlad's eyes perked up a bit at the mention of 'restraint' but quickly shifted his mood again, ignoring the nurse's dull drivel about protocols until they came to a complete stop in front of a padded door, far in the back of the institution. She inserted the key and unlocked the door, the hinges creaking a bit as the door slowly revealed a white figure before it bumped into a stretcher behind it. Vlad's heart dance, there he was! A lion with glasses and shimmering dreadlocks, a dainty pink nose and gorgeous white fur came into view, the lion fidgeting around in his straightjacket, assorted with many locks and straps, his bare paws exposed and toes scrunching in annoyance on his bed. He grumbled, his words not understandable under his large muzzle.

“If he is on good behavior, then Mr. Leone will be sent back to his usual room, instead of being alone in the back. For now, you just need to give an evaluation to us whether he was calm and rational during your visit. Anyway, please stand aside so I can move him onto the stretcher. Staff will be coming in later to give him his medication and there are always reports of having...difficulties with that.” She eyed Leone before walking over to the stretcher, rolling it right next to Leone's bed. She rubbed her palms together and hoisted him onto her shoulders. Leone and Vlad's faces were stunned as she effortlessly plopped him onto the stretcher. She walked over to the door, before looking back and saying, “Mr. Vlad, we expect our patient to stay put on that stretcher. If he tries to move back, please just gently set him back down. Anyway, if you or the patient need anything, please just hit the buzzer on the wall.” She exited the room and closed the door, at last. Vlad continued looking at the padded door, peering around the room, before finally looking at his lion friend....and smirking deviously. The lion took one good look at his face and winced.

“Hey there nerd,” the skunk teased. Leone grumbled in annoyance. “Oh don't be like that, you should be happy to see me. I mean...you were my doctor after all and you took care of me when I needed help. I wouldn't just abandon you.” Vlad's smirk faltered and looked away for a moment, rather sheepish and reflective. Leone stared at him puzzlingly, tilted his head to the side, before Vlad cleared his throat and looked back at him, his devious smirk returning in full force. “Now, my kitty cat nerd, I can take care of you in your time of need~” Vlad stepped closer, his untied shoelaces dragging against the padded floor as he walked forward, until he was right in front of Leone's feet. He gazed at them hungrily, the silky white fur encompassing the lion's paws, black fleshy paw pads peeking out from each of his toes, and a giant paw pad greeting him spreading across the balls of his feet. And he fondly looked at that one particular toe, the teasing slightly curled third toe on his right foot that dared to be different, a teasing pink pad amongst the blackness. He remembered these feet quite fondly, when his doctor took of his shoes regularly during their meetings, just to tease him. “I see your feet haven't changed a bit, nerd, they look just as soft and ticklish as ever~” Leone's feet scrunched up, his white toe claws pressing against his soles, the sole pad creasing with wrinkles at the mention of 'that word.' Leoen looked at his feet, then back at Vlad, and back again, before shaking his head wildly, struggling to roll off of the stretcher. “Nuh-uh-uh.” Vlad wagged his finger. “Remember, the nurse wants you to stay right on that stretcher so the staff can have an easier time giving you your medication. If you move off of that stretcher then, well, I'll just have to give a report that you've been a naughty kitty during my stay.” If looks could make objects ignite, Leone would have this entire room burning from the glare he gave Vlad. “Don't be like that,” Vlad grinned, as he to the floor and his pink palms reached closer toward the tiger's curled feet. All you have to do is be a good kitty and behave yourself.” Leone stopped fidgeting, sighing in defeat, grumbling muffled curses, before he felt it. A single sensation that he dreaded ever since Vlad came to visit him. A lone finger, feeling as it stroked up the side of his foot, the fur swaying aside to the intruder of his personal space, from his bulbous heels. Leone's foot tingled as it brushed up to the tip of his pinky toe, before the finger gingerly poked the pad.

“Awww, what's wrong? Does the big kitty like having his feet touched?” the skunk teased, smirking as the lion shook his head in denial. Vlad's finger grazed down to Leone's left heel, feeling the warm snow white furs brushing against his finger, digging his claw in the heel before twisting his finger around it. Immediately, Leone's foot started squirming, trying to pull away from his guest's teasing finger, but his mummy straightjacket didn't really allow him to pull away, his feet only a few mere centimeters from where they were before. Vlad giggled at his vain attempts to flee as he rubbed his pink palm on the warm sole, inspecting their plushness, before the lion squeaked from another finger scratching his right foot's ball. Leone hunched over, shutting his eyes closed, trying to hold in his giggles and trying hard not to give Vlad the satisfacti- “Grrmmmpphhh! Hmmf!” His thoughts scattered to the four winds as he felt more fingers trace along the soles of his feet, his padded toes wiggling. Leone's breathe grew faster by the second, as those teasing fingers traced shapes onto his tender skin, poked at his heel and winced as Vlad breathed on them. Oh how how he hated Vlad breathing on his feet, the cool breathe exuding from his nostrils washing over him was only making the white lion shudder! Vlad peeked at the lion between his feet, wedging his nose between where his big toes met, thankful that his jacket kept his ankles snugly together.

The warm breathe from Vlad's nostrils assaulted Leone's feet again, making him jolt, trying to wiggle his feet away from him. Vlad was having none of that, grasping the sides of Leone's feet with his hands, his peach palms admiring the the texture of the fur. His fingers clutched the white lion's foot tops, giving them a gentle squeeze as his claws kneaded against tendons. Vlad groped his tendons, graving his fingers across the bones as Leone's feet splayed, the tendons popping out for Vlad's amusement. Leone whimpered, his feet feeling squirmy at Vlad's constant groping, peeking his eyes open to see what his friend was doing to his poor feet. “Grrrfff! Gmmmmf! Grrrummff! Leone giggled helplessly as Vlad constantly pressed into his soft fur, and the constant breathing! Oh the breathing, it was becoming unbearable, it was making him very uncomfortable only making the teasing worse. Vlad sniffled at the big toes, nuzzling his nose against Leone's feet as the cat flinched. He looked back at his restrained friend in amusement before he stuck his tongue out at him. “Phew Leone, your feet sure do stink! You really need to wash your feet more because they are so smelly! And you always joke that my feet stink. You are one to talk.” Leone glared indignantly at the insult. Vlad sniffed at them again, before breathing right on his big toes, making the lion scrunch them. The plushy, crisp white and black wrinkles that sprung to life captivated Vlad's attention, his thumb quickly dragging down them. Leone's toes pressed against Vlad's toes after he leaned on close, inhaling sharply before he exhaled a wave of hot breathe on the lion's toes. Leone squeaked from underneath his muzzle.

“Now my big kitty, I think these cuddly feet of yours could use a bit more intensive care, don't you think?” Leone looked at him pleadingly, shaking his head furiously, the stretcher rattling under him. “Oh, you do? Well, then, off we go then!” Leone's irises sunk to the size of pinpricks as he felt Vlad's fingernails scrape across his pads, switching up from quick motions to slower motions. His thumbs kneaded between Leone's toes, making him jerk around frantically, his toes struggling to close up to stop the invasion. Vlad simply chuckled, retaliating by caressing Leone's foot tops with the rest of his fingers, still keeping the lion from moving them away. “Graaaahhhf! Mmmmppph! Mmmhmhmhmhf! Grad vou greeefff!” Leone's pitiful insult however went unheard. And Leone still felt that breathing even as he closed his eyes, that incessant breathing on his feet, it was only making him more uncomfortable by the minute. Vlad smirked deviously at his friend, pressing his thumbs into Leone's black pads as the lion hunched over and wiggled. Vlad looked at the laughing lion and blushed. He forgot just how adorable the kitty was when he was on the receiving end of being tickled. “Hey nerd, purr for me and I 'might' stop,” Vlad bargained. Leone shook his head in denial before Vlad blew another deep breathe from the tips of his heels to Leone's toes. Leone's whimpering got louder and he was starting to drool in his muzzle, the breathing and constant pokes, scratching fingers and digging at his feet was making him go mad! More minutes passed and Leone was still squirming, becoming sweaty as Vlad kept coaxing him to purr to him. “Hmmfff! Grmfff....Purrrr....” Vlad's smile of manic glee was plastered on his face as he heard that spine tingling purr tickle his ears. “See, now that wasn't so hard no was it, you silly nerd? Just a few more purrs~” Vlad started scratching between Leone's toes, the lion's tail flailing wildly as he bounced on the stretcher, his muffled laughter booming. “Gwhmhmmmmfff! Grrrrfff! Purrrrrr...Mmmpppffff! Purrrr”~ Finally, after a few more minutes of watching his friend go mad and purr for him, Vlad let go of his feet, giving them one last scrap of his fingers, right on his pink padded toe, watching as it splayed away from him. He pressed his nose against the lion's feet and sniffed them, admiring the pillow soft skin. Leone laid on the stretcher, exhausted and breathing heavily, his eyes drooping Vlad came into view, still on his knees before he rested his head on the stretcher. Leone glared at him, before he felt the skunk nuzzle against his cheek, sneaking a warm smooch on him. Leone's anger dissipated, blushing at the sudden affection. Vlad didn't say a word, kissing him again right on the nose before finally standing up...and pushed Leone right off of the stretcher. The lion plopped onto the padded flooring right on his side, giving Vlad a mildly dirty look on what's the big idea. Vlad put his hands in his pockets, walking up to the intercom and pressed the button. “Nurse? I'm done for today. You can send someone to treat him now.”

“Alright Mr. Vlad. A staff member will be coming in momentarily. Did he give you any trouble?” Vlad looked back at the tired lion. “No, he was no trouble at all...well he did get off of the stretcher. I think you should keep him restrained with straps when I visit for awhile, so he doesn't do this sort of thing again. ” The nurse groaned. “In that case, I suppose we can arrange that for you Mr. Vlad.” The intercom buzzed off, and Vlad smirked back at his livid friend, now realizing what he was doing. Vlad walked up to him, before saying, “Sorry Leone, you are way too cute to not have more of these fun times with. When I come visit again, I'll be sure to have an extra special treat for you.” Before Leone could muffle some curses, the skunk leaned over and gave him a deep kiss on the forehead, pleasuring in the warmth of Leone's sudden purring. As Vlad walked back to the door, and opened it he smiled at his friend. “See you later, my nerdy kitty.” And so Vlad left the room leaving a confused, tired and twitchy lion to ponder what just happened.

Alright, this is a story for my good friend  Hioty who has generously allowed me to post this here after this sitting around in my laptop for months. I just...remembered I could post it now. He wanted me to write a story for him a few months back based on one of his commissioned pictures and after some coaxing as I though I was going to do a terrible job, I did it for him in about a little over a week. Plus, quite a few people kept saying that I should consider doing stories based on my...ahem...imaginative commentary. ^^;

I know its not the best story (bear with me, its only my 2nd kink story ever) and critiques and comments would most definitely be welcome, but I do hope that whomever reads this story has fun. This story is based off of his picture here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19299064/
