The Fated Meeting

The day was young as the sun rose above the houses to begin the day, the birds were chirping and the streets were clear, nothing at all could ruin it at all. The sun started to beam in through my window, beaming across and hitting me right in my eyes. Groaning a little bit I slowly began to force myself out of the bed only to find a huge fluffy mass beneath my feet as I tried to get up. A smile crossing my face as I looked down, it was only Mr. Traveler. Mr. Traveler is a real close friend of mine, we were friends for as long as I could remember. He was still in his clothes from yesterday, a pair of red cargo shorts and a green tank-top that left nothing to the imagination and always rode up. He was large, and it was obvious, and I loved it. I did take a moment to kind of admire him with a smile, his golden yellow fur made up most of his body. He had big, black floppy ears and along his chin was black fur that kind of made it seem like he had a beard. He wore one leather glove on his right hand, which was resting gently against his giant belly. He had black fur that lead up from his groin to his belly button in a triangular shape, and he had huge broad feet. After a few minutes of this I finally hopped off and around him to groggily start getting ready for the day.

Rubbing my eyes as I plodded my way to the bathroom, almost running into the door like a dunce. Groaning as I would lean and look at myself in the mirror. My face was as clear as it can be, and my fur was going in every which way. Groaning some more and shook my head “Ugh… I head bed fur….” Giving a shrug I would start to disrobe, tossing my pajamas off to the side in a heap and got into the shower. My body definitely wasn’t anything to gawk at, I wasn’t the epitome of fit but to me I was perfectly fine. I was of moderate build, and my fur, on the left, was red to the waist and blue down the rest, and on the right blue to the waist and red all the way down. I looked like a popsicle, and that was actually a nickname I had, Pupsicle. Popping the water up and the stream of water would cascade down across my body. Sighing in bliss as I felt the water rushing over my fur, matting it down and rinsing the impurities away. A shower after waking up was one of the best things, closing my eyes and letting it wash over me.

Time seemed to lose itself while I showered, I didn’t even seem to hear the loud thumping and the bathroom door opening. Suddenly there would be a loud crash right outside the tub, making me jump and almost lose my footing. This scare pulling me out of my daydream and peek out to see that Mr. Traveler made his way from the floor, he was looking up at me with a goofy kind of smile. It was almost like he had a plan to sneak in and spook me something and it failed dismally due to his clumsiness. I only would chuckle at this and smile down to him now “What cha up to~?” I would ask jovially, and this would only make Mr. Traveler blush a bit as he covered his face and shook his head “Nuffin…. Just… wanted to say good morning…” This response would only make me chuckle some, starting to wash my fur now with a special shampoo and conditioner. “Well, good morning goof~” Smiling now all the while as I watched his silhouette stand back up and hulk back out into the hallway. I knew what he was trying to do, he’s succeeded a few times, but I don’t mind it when he does. It took a good half an hour or so before I would get out and begin to dry myself off.

It was then I heard Mr. Traveler call out. “Hey Pups…. The calendar has a number circled on it… was it important?!” Closing my eyes as I wracked my brain, trying to remember what today was. It dawned on me as I was brushing my fur into line, I slammed the brush down and went to get dressed as fast as I possibly could. Donning my Orange vest jacket and great cargo pants. Hurrying my way out and into the living room, past it and to Mr. Traveler who was standing in front of the calendar. He was bent over a bit, his rump sticking out quite some ways. Having pressed my way around him I would look with anticipation and smiled widely “IT’S THE 23rd! It’s my birthday!” Mr. Traveler blinked and smiled widely, standing strait and pulled me into a tight side hug “Well happy birthday pups!! Have anything planned for today?” I would blush a bit as he would pull me into a hug, returning it and squeezing into him. “Yea, a friend is bringing over his friend for our first ever meeting! Josh and his friend Dyson I believe his name was!” Mr. Traveler would smile widely and look out the nearby window. “Oh boy, can’t wait to meet em!” He would say with a huge guffaw like laugh that made his whole body jiggle. Laughing with him and nodded. “I can’t either bud, I can’t either!”

The day seemed to have opened so greatly, but it seemed to come crashing to a halt once I learned what the day was. Mr. Traveler and I were sitting at the table eating our breakfast. Mine being a simple bowl of cereal, leaning against it droopily despite the excitement of earlier. Mr. Traveler’s breakfast was a bit more grandiose. He had plates of waffles, pancakes, and other assorted goodies. He would be stuffing his face while smiling, just shoveling the food down without even a glance upwards. This only made me smile now, slowly eating my cereal as I watched him. He however would feel me staring and would look up, giving a smile “Something wrong Pup?” Blinking a little bit in surprise as I would shake my head vigorously. “Nope.. just… kinda daydreaming is all, don’t mind me” I would then chuckle nervously as I would pick up my pace eating. This only made Mr. Traveler confused but shrugged and continued his feast. Once breakfast was done however I would stand up and stretch some, looking out the window hoping to see Josh walking up. My ears drooped some as I saw nothing and closed my eyes, slumping back into my chair. Mr. Traveler would lumber over and sit down next to me, pushing his nose against me. “They’ll be here, they promised you right?” I would blink and look over and smile, giving him a few pets and nods “They did… yea… just hope they don’t get lost is all…” Mr. Traveler would give a huge smile to me, giving me a huge lick and nuzzle “Just be patient, not everyone gets up this early ya know.” I would nod and glance to the clock now, it was only nine thirty three which was quite early. I would sit there confused on what to do until they do.

Hours seemed to pass but no sign of my friend seemed to show. I had resulted to sitting on the couch, leaning up against Mr. Traveler as he watched television as I played my 3ds. It was boring, the anticipation of waiting for my friend was killing me. Mr. Traveler would glance down to me as I played and gave a chuckle “Enjoying yourself?” He would ask jovially, chuckling a bit causing the belly I was relaxing against to bounce screwing up my combo. I would chuckle as I would pause, looking up to him “Heck yea, relaxing against you is always a great time!” This would only cause Mr. Traveler to blush some, which only had me smile more. It was then a knock could be heard at the door, and it was this knock that made me fly off the chair at light speed. Excitement tingled through my body, looking to Mr. Traveler who seemed to look a bit bashful now despite being full of life a little bit ago. “Are they here?” He would ask timidly. I didn’t know but I sure hoped it was. Rushing to the door and almost pulled it right off its hinges trying to get it open. When I did, there he was, a short blue fox with two tails and hands in his pockets. He was wearing a green triforce shirt and some jeans. A smile on his face as his beguiling green eyes would look up to me with a smile. “Hey… Jeff?” He would ask, turning his head slightly. But instead of answering, my arms would stretch a bit and pull the fox into the tightest hug of his life. The fox struggled up against me some as he gasped for air. Patting my back and shoulder all while gasping a bit. A large thing though just came into view and said in a rather deep and friendly voice. “Excuse me… I think you’re suffocating him.” He would say with a soft chuckle. His voice is what had me glance up, and it was seeing him that made me leg the fox go, who almost collapsed to the ground gasping for air. There stood what had to be no less than an eight foot tall Red Husky. His shockingly blue eyes the only thing that pulls up from his rotund body. Covered by a shirt that stated the most obvious fact I’ve ever seen in my life ‘big boy’. This shirt barely contained his abdomen, but it did it somehow. The shirt was tucked into a pair of shorts he wore of blue denim, similar to the Fox. He was still smiling as he caught and held onto the fox. “I don’t know if Josh said anything about me, but my name is Dyson. Pleasure to meet you.” His tone never left happy, and it seemed to make my heart melt with how smooth it was. Mr. Traveler would slowly walk up to me and even look to the Husky in awe, never having seen anyone really that much bigger than himself.

Josh would slowly shake himself back to his feet, smiling a little bit and chuckled “I’ll… take that choke hold as a yes…” Giving a smile up to me, but I was still quite enamored by Dyson and his size. Dyson would still be smiling all the while as he looked down to Josh “I… think I’m distracting him… want me to go?” This would provoke a very visceral response from me “NO… no please… sorry…” Shaking my head slightly and smiled. “Well yea… as Josh said, I’m Jeff… and this here lurking behind me is Mr. Traveler~!” He was trying to actually hide behind me, a bit shy when it comes to meeting new people. Josh would actually give a small chuckle as he noticed this, looking back to Dyson who was smiling cheerfully. “May we come in?” Josh would ask politely, his smile unfading. I had blinked and nodded “Yea… YEA… sorry just kinda losing it a bit. Yea come in, come in!” Stepping out of the way, I would grab Mr. Traveler’s arm and tug him with me so he wasn’t standing mostly in the way of the door.

Josh and Dyson would smile, Josh stepping in first. He didn’t have any shoes on, his bare paws only slightly dirty with some dirt but nothing that seemed to detract from the sleek black fur that made up the sock. Dyson would follow behind Josh, and boy was that a sight to behold. Dyson needed to duck and side step his way into the door. His belly would squish up against the frame, scraping along as he tried to suck it in to make getting inside as easy as possible. He could barely get himself inside, and at first I thought he would get himself stuck, but he made it with no damage to himself or the door. Letting out a heavy sigh of relief, Dyson let his stomach relax as it returned to the soft shape it was before still tucked quite nicely in the shirt he wore. Josh gave a soft giggle before looking over to me, still gawking a little over Dyson. Mr. Traveler would give me a soft prod on the shoulder and said, rather softly actually, “Pup… you’re staring…” This painfully obvious point out made me snap out of my stare and shake my head “S-sorry, sorry… Anyway! What do you guys wanna do!?” I said looking over to both Dyson and Josh. Josh would think for a bit, his two tails swaying a little bit then gave a nod. “Why not you and I go for a walk Jeff, Dyson has a plan for your birthday and he would like to work with Mr. Traveler to get it going.” This statement made Mr. Traveler let out a small little sound, but he was smiling a bit. He seemed actually kind of excited to work with Dyson, very interested in him despite feeling nervous of him. I would nod slowly and gave Mr. Traveler a reassuring pat on the belly before looking back over to Josh. “Alright, that definitely sounds like a plan, let’s go!” I would go over to Josh and give him a nod. Gesturing him to follow me and out he and I went. Josh closing the door behind me as we went.

It really was a wonderful day outside, the breeze was nice and easy making the already 65 degree day almost perfect. Closing my eyes a bit as I let the wind blow across my fur a bit before picking up my pace to keep up with Josh’s, albeit shorter than normal, long strides. “Man I really can’t believe you came!” I would exclaim to him, which made him smile and glance over to me. “I couldn’t just let you spend your birthday on your own now could I?” I would only blush a bit at this being said, shaking my head a bit “No I guess you couldn’t… I really am thankful you did. Though if I may say so, DYSON IS SO CUTE!” This came out surprisingly loud and this made me cover my snout a bit. This only made Josh smile a bit more though “Yea… I get that a lot when I take him places. Some people are kind of perturbed with his size… saying he looks unhealthy… but honestly he is one of the healthiest guys I know and well he was more than eager to come visit. He has a huge surprise planned for you too~!” This made me blush some as I would glance over. “A huge plan for me? Like what!? Tell me!” Josh would only shake his head to that though, which only made me slump a bit. Josh would smile and give me a wink. “You’ll enjoy it I feel, just gotta be patient okay~?” I would frown slightly but nod to that, and chuckled some. Walking alongside him as the day went on.

The day kind of went by as a blur, Josh and I smiling and talking as we walked along. We ended our little walk next to the river near my home, sitting on a bench and chilling and watching the river swiftly stream by. Josh would lean forward then and take a deep breath “Hey Jeff, what would be the one thing you wish you had…?” This question would make me blink, yawning wide and leaning back as I pondered on it. “… what would the one thing I wish I had…? Man I don’t know… that’s a deep question… I guess I would want to make sure all my friends were happy… something simple you know…?” Josh would give a smile and nod slowly, looking over to me before saying gently. “Yea, I get what you mean… sorry for asking such a heavy question on your birthday, just kind of curious is all…” Suddenly Josh’s phone would buzz out from his pocket and he would remove it. His whole demeanor would brighten up as he read what was on the bright screen and he would hop to his feet. “Come on Jeff, Dyson and Mr. Traveler has your surprise ready!” Giving a smile and offering a paw for me to take. Seeing his excitement actually made me feel excited, taking his paw and hopped up to my own feet as well “Yea man! Let’s get going!” And with that the two of us ran off towards home.

The travel home seemed to breeze by, despite it taking a full twenty or so minutes. But once home we would go up to the front door and I would open it for Josh to walk into before following close behind him. The first thing I noticed was the wave of delicious smells that seemed to have filled my house when I was gone. A mixture of many things from chilly to even sweet rolls. There was just so much food smells it made my mouth water some. “What is that delicious smell…?” I would ask Josh looking to him as he smiled to me. “That’s your surprise~ Why don’t you go sit down at the table, I’m going to go help Dyson and Mr. Traveler get it all set up.” I would watch Josh skip off towards my kitchen, but I was a bit too distracted and eager to see what lie in store for me to really care what the surprise actually was. Hurrying off to my usual spot at the dining room table I would wait eagerly. Soon enough, all three of my friends would bring out platter upon platter of foods. I would watch with dishplate sized eyes as they filled my entire table full of a different assortment of goodies. Pots of different pastas, soups, stews, and even a whole ham was placed out for me. Josh would smile to him as Dyson brought the last of it. Slowly going over and placing a hand on his shoulder. “Your surprise is as follows, this whole table here is prepared for you to enjoy how you see fit. This means you can either have it to yourself, or share it with one other person, or feed it all to one other person in this room. Whichever you choose, just know, someone is getting fed and those who aren’t are doing the feeding. You can take your time to choose, but make it quick! Food doesn’t stay hot for long~.” Dysons’s voice seemed very excited, and Mr. Traveler looked it while also looking tired. He seemed to have helped Dyson prepare this gigantic meal made clearly for more than one person. I would lean forward as my mouth watered, there was no way I could eat this all. If I could I surely would explode, but at the same time that idea seemed so tempting. I was really at a loss of what to do. I would look over to Josh for some help but he offered none but a smile. I gave a sigh, closing my eyes as I would slowly come to a conclusion. I knew my answer.

Looking up to the three with a smile. “I’d like to share this meal with my bud Josh~.” This answer seemed to have made the poor little fox blush as Dyson would chuckle. Going over to him and lifting him up effortlessly and carry him to a chair. Setting him down and patted his shoulder. Josh would look to everything and then over to me “You sure… y-you wanna share with me…?” I would nod adamantly with a huge smile. “Absolutely! Let’s enjoy this meal together, I mean clearly it can’t be done by one person!”

And with that Josh and I set out on the feast, Josh being a little reluctant at first but Mr. Traveler was well on his way to helping him along. Taking handfuls of food for Josh and forcing it upon him. Watching him being fed by such a close friend of mine actually had me giggling some, but it wasn’t long till Dyson loomed over me with a very sly grin on his face. “Distracted? Do you need some assistance yourself?” He would ask, and I would just kind of glare at him in small surprise, kind of feeling small in comparison which only added to it. Dyson only would smile wider however as he would scoot a plate forward full of delicacies; from rolls to mashed potatoes, even ham. And with one fell movement he took some of it and pushed it against my maw, eyes widening as the food assaulted my senses. The Saltiness of the ham complimented by the mashed potatoes succulent gravy. It was all so good that I soon found myself starting to eat as well.

Hours soon passed us by and by the time all the food was gone Josh and I were so full our bellies could no longer fit within the shirts we were wearing. His black tum bulging outwards, buttons burst on his pants and his green shirt sitting taught on above his paunch. Mr. Traveler giving it soft rubs and a gentle giggle as he looked over to Dyson and I. Dyson was giving me the same treatment before hefting me up and smiled. “Come on Mr. Traveler, I think it’s time we put these two to bed. I’m sure they’re going to need time to sleep off this meal.” Mr. Traveler nodded “I know I would, heck I think I’ll come out and finish the scraps!” Picking up Josh as well He would lead Dyson off towards my room. Laying Josh and I together on it. Dyson would nod as Mr. Traveler gave a gentle smile. “They’ll be sleeping good tonight!” Dyson would glance over and nod “That they will, what say you and I go clean things up eh?” But Mr. Traveler would sit down next to the bed and lean back, yawning a bit “Why don’t you? Gotta keep an eye on him, if you get what I mean.” Dyson would shake his head and nod “Alright, just don’t fall asleep!” Dyson would turn and head out of the room.

It took a good few hours but soon Dyson would return to the room with all the dishes clean. Noticing the light turned off he would glance over and see that the two had a new bed, Mr. Traveler fast asleep underneath the two as he would hold them closely. His belly rising and falling in a peaceful rhythm, soothing the two into an even deeper slumber. Dyson would lean against the frame and shake his head slowly. Chuckling a bit to himself and sighed a bit “… well today was eventful to say the least… might as well join them.” Heading over to the bed and would sit down on the floor next to it, leaning back and placing his head against Mr. Traveler’s side. Closing his eyes now as he would yawn “… goodnight…” He would say as he would drift off. I honestly would say today was the best birthday I ever had, and one fateful meeting.
