Nate had had his eye on Squeaky the rat girl for a long time. He'd given her a few hugs here and there, which she loved and returned emphatically. Since Nate's a shy guy, it took him a while to work up the courage to ask her out. She was so excited when he finally did, she pretty much jumped into his lap to hug him. I don't know about you, but I think that's a big "yes"!

This was a request that my friend Cyberboy7000 on DA (also known as  humanxfurry7000 here on FA) was so kind enough to draw for me. It features Nate and his rat girl, Squeaky, sharing a loving embrace. Squeaky is just so adorable. She pretty much squeaks with joy whenever someone gives her a hug (which she loves to receive), and she's just so beautiful! Thanks a lot, dude!
