**Based on a true story**“… It is a bit embarrassing to talk about this topic, but what I felt behind that single moment at his house sparked something special between my boyfriend and I. To me, it’s unforgettable, especially after what issues I went through in that one troublesome month.
It all started out during my winter break from the florida art college. Mid-term projects are over and that means a large load of stress will be lifted from my back. Not that I complain since I love drawing various concepts and figure drawing. But this gives me more time to see my boyfriend. My boyfriend and I live in two separate places and we have to commute a good distance to see each other. He lives in Michigan and I stay in the dorm in Florida. When I get the chance, I visit him or he visits me for a night or two of quality time and some other “quality time”. It’s a great way to relieve stress from school work and art projects. Hours go by like minutes when we do it until our fur is completely damp and sticky.
During my stay back home in Michigan, embarrassing to say, I started to hurt between my legs. I couldn’t really concentrate on artwork or any activities with the pain I was feeling. I thought it was nothing at first until it got worse and I had to go to the doctors. She told me that I had a small painful labial cyst. This completely caught me right out of the blue and during a very stressful time. I didn’t take the news lightly since my health does interfere with my studies and art. She told me I should get it removed and I didn’t hesitate to tell her to do surgery.
The surgery went smooth and without any problems, but the pain and the knowledge that I had something growing down there made me a bit uneasy. I felt like a piece of me was taken away, even if it was something I didn’t want to keep. My boyfriend and I couldn’t fool around for a while because I was still healing from the surgery and even healing mentally. I just felt embarrassed that something grew in a place where it could threaten my womanhood. I felt vulnerable and a bit scared that something else would grow there or if I would lose something else. We still spent time together, going out and all, but without our sex time, it felt incomplete.
The lack of sex along with the small pain left over form the surgery on top of my mental state really started to crush me and my motivation to draw or do anything. I decided to go to my boyfriend’s place before I really go down the emotional drain. I needed to be near someone I love and who will support me when I fall. The doctor said that I had to soak in the tub with some hot water once in a while as ‘therapy’, so I used my boyfriend’s. Seeing me in a gloomy mood, he sat next to me outside the tub. I rambled on about God knows what since I had too much on my plate now and lack of sex did make me a bit irritated. My boyfriend knew what I was feeling so he was very patient with me.
I can’t remember what I was talking about, but what my boyfriend said to me broke my train of thought. He said: 'You’re so beautiful.’ My mouth stopped running and my cheeks flushed bright red under my brown and white fur. It was an awkward thing to say with me sitting bottomless in a the tub, but I couldn’t help but blush and look away shyly, almost wanting to hide behind the curtain. I felt something in me that was gone since the surgery and that large load of angst on my back slowly melted away. He knew what to say to make me feel better. He just caught me by surprise.
That was the moment that will forever live in my memory: my supportive boyfriend knowing what to say to get me out of a state of angst and depression. I felt like a woman again by hearing him that.”

I liked the story. It is kind of a bad and good at the sametime, but it was well done writted so I like it. But you wrote not far of the end -...to go to go to my boyfriend...- I think it is a lill mistake :p
The artwork for itself is very awesome. I like the way it was done using little black lines. It makes it more original ^^

I went through a similar situation not too too long ago. but I didn't get surgery....
took great and amazing care of me as I was utterly miserable. I couldn't sleep, i couldn't walk...the meds they had me on counteracted each other and the hydros they gave me stopped working. I was delusional and couldn't do anything. Gav was there the entire time. We worked at the same place at the time and they were threatening to fire me because I couldn't work. Gav ended up taking my hrs, working 16 hr days, then coming home and staying up with me because I couldn't sleep.
Though we aren't together anymore, that still stays we me and I still commend him dearly for all of that. This piece really speaks to me as I've gone through a similar situation.
A beautiful piece, you've done well <3
