"Florel... Florel... please wake up... Florel..."

That voice... it was so soft. "Dew..." I mumbled, slowly waking myself and sitting upright, rubbing my paws against my closed eyes. I still felt so tired. As I opened my eyes, I saw Dew staring at me, wagging her tail with a blank expression on her face.

"Florel..." she said to me, though paused for a bit as if she didn't know what to say.

"Uhhn, Dew, what is it?" I asked her, still trying to get my energy for the day.

"I... maybe we shouldn't tell mom and dad... I don't know if I want to..." said Dew, nervously pattering her forepaws on the ground.

"Hey, come on, you can do it. We can do it! The sooner we tell them, the sooner we can ma- I mean, well, that, but also the sooner we'll be able to really be together without worrying so much."

"Yeah, but... I'm nervous... I don't want things to change..." The Mudkip sighed and looked really unsettled. It really was bothering her in a way I didn't understand.

"If they already know we were trying oral mating, don't you think they should at least know that we're in love and not just playing around?" I asked her.

"O-oral mating?" she asked back, bearing a look of confusion.

Oh yeah, she probably didn't know the term. I didn't until Torent told me. "Never mind," I said, not wanting to have to explain how I found out about it. At least, not just yet. "But do you see my point? They already know that we're 'at that age' where we're 'curious about mating.' There's no chance they didn't see us and no chance they couldn't figure out what we were doing."

"I know... I... I just..." She had that look like she was going to cry again. I really hated seeing her cry... it made me feel so sad and powerless.

"Dew... don't cry. I'm sorry. I don't want to rush you... I'm not even trying to. If you aren't ready, you aren't ready. I just don't want you to let your fears to get the best of you. If it is something you really do want, you need to stand up for it. I'm not going to force you... I'll wait however long I have to before you're ready... but I also don't want to see you run from your fears, either."

"I'm afraid... I don't want to be... but I am."

I knelt down and held Dew's face with my paws, holding her head up and gazing into her eyes. "Dew... don't be." With that, I pulled her head right up to mine and gave her a tender, affirming kiss on her lips. It was short, but showed her that I really did love her.

"Florel..." she said after the kiss, closing her eyes and blushing.

"We don't have to tell your parents if you don't want to. We can just keep sneaking off and learning how to mate on our own. Hey, after all, I think we can go out again today! At least, assuming they didn't change their minds yesterday... But, uh, that's beside the point. If you want to keep it a secret, I won't try and pressure you anymore."

"N-no..." said Dew with a stutter. "I... maybe you're right. Maybe we should tell them... Do you... do you think we should?"

I leaned in to give her a hug, holding her in a sweet embrace. It felt really nice having her there like that. "Yeah, I do. We can do it. You can do it!"

"Al-... alright! Let's go. Let's... go tell them..." She licked my cheek and followed up with another short kiss before finally hopping off of me and staring into my eyes. "Florel," she started as I began standing, "I want to do it. I want to be brave like you... I want to be the one to explain things. I want to be the one to tell them that I love you..."

It looked like she'd quickly changed her mind. Whatever it was that did it, I was glad to see her gain some confidence in herself and I was particularly pleased that she wanted to be the one to tell them that. She was too nervous to tell me that she loved me until I intervened, taking a chance. This time, though, she didn't want to intervene; she really did want to face it and face it with only my support.

"Let's go, Dew! I'll be right by your side! You can do it!" I cheered her on, smiling and petting her head.

Dew smiled back, wagged her tail, then walked outside of our room. I followed right behind her, eagerly awaiting the result of the conversation we were about to have with her parents. I had a good feeling about it. It really would help confirm our relationship together and allow us to take things to the next step without living in fear or shame.

We found Dew's parents outside. Moyst was making some salads while Torent was practicing his fighting moves.

"Hi there, Dew, Florel. These salads are going to make a really nice lunch," said Moyst cheerfully as she continued to prepare our tasty meals.

"Mom... Dad... I... I mean, we... we really need to talk..." said Dew, hanging her head down and seeming nervous again. I walked over so I was by Dew's side and then sat down next to her.

"What about, dear?" asked Moyst, stopping what she was doing and looking down at her daughter. Torent also stopped his training and began walking over towards us.

"It's... um... it's a-... about Florel..." She was quickly losing confidence. I was starting to get worried that she wouldn't go through with it. She started doing that whole tapping her front paws thing again, too, which was a good indicator of her nervousness.

"Oh? Well what is it, Dewdrop? You know you can talk to us," said Torent. It seemed pretty obvious to me that he had a good idea of what she wanted to say. The whole conversation we had last night was probably going on that assumption anyway.

"Florel has been my best friend ever since I can remember... he's been my only friend, actually, but I can't imagine having anyone else as a friend besides him..."

"We're glad that you two have been such good friends, dear. It really makes us delighted to know that you two have never been lonely or without someone to play with," responded Moyst.

"Yeah," said Torent in assurance, "he's definitely welcome with us and it's great that you two are friends."

Dew sighed. Would she go through with it? I really wasn't sure. I was hoping she would, but I wasn't going to force her.

"I... I... I ca-!" As she was about to say something, she completely froze in both her speech and movements. Without saying anything and only slowly closing her mouth, she looked up at me and stared into my eyes as I stared back into hers, trying to send whatever non-verbal encouragement I could.

Dew continued staring into my eyes for what felt like a minute or two. It seemed like a very long time, at least, but she was clearly very deep in thought. It looked like she was searching... searching for my confidence and trying to borrow some from me. Oh, Dew, I'd give you my confidence any day... just go on, you can do it, you can say it!

Finally, she broke eye contact with me and nodded her head. "Florel..." she whispered affectionately beneath her breath, which I could just barely hear. The Mudkip looked over at her parents, smiled, and said what she'd been dying to say. "I... I love Florel. I mean, I- I- I'm really in love with him!"

I looked over to her parents. Rather than seeing looks of surprise like I had thought they'd show, which wouldn't have even been so bad, I saw looks of delight and happiness fill their eyes.

"Dew! I'm so happy for you!" exclaimed Dew's mom, Moyst, and she ran over and hugged her daughter tightly.

"Way to go, Florel," said Torent to me casually before walking over to congratulate Dew as well. "Dew, love isn't something that just any two friends can feel. I trust that by now you can tell the difference between love and friendship, can't you?"

She looked over to her father, looking almost a little doubtful, but then reclaimed that smile she had. "I... I know I don't just like him as a friend. I really am in love with him. No one in the world could ever make me happier than I am when I'm around him, even if it is exploring caves..."

"You two really have been such inseparable friends for so long that it only seems right, you two, together," said Moyst with a proud smile on her face. She released her daughter from her hug and set her down on the ground.

"S-so... you aren't upset?" asked Dew shyly. I had a feeling they wouldn't be, especially after talking to her father just the previous night about some rather... mature content.

"There's nothing to be upset about, Dew. Florel's a great guy and he's practically like family to us anyway. Your mom and I want you both to be happy, and hey, if that's with each other, well, how could we have a problem, hmm?"

Dew took a big sigh, then wore a cheery smile on her face. I don't think I'd ever seen her so happy around her parents before. "Thanks mom, dad!"

"See, Dew? That wasn't so hard, was it?" I mentioned, finally jumping into the conversation and patting her on the back.

"You didn't even have to say anything!" she retorted, playfully raising her voice back at me. She was still smiling, though, so I could tell that she was just joking around.

I pulled Dew in close for a hug, to which she gladly obliged and allowed me to do. We were both smiling and clearly quite content. Not only that, but we could finally be open about our feelings towards each other. It really was official: we truly were now more than just friends. Together, we conquered her greatest fears about the whole situation, though it really was her that actually had the bravery to speak up.

After a minute or so, Dew broke our hug and faced her parents, who appeared to be looking on in rejoice. "Mom, dad... I... I want to be honest with you..."

Both of Dew's parents, as well as I, looked right at her. Was she really going to... wait, what was she going to say? Was it about what we did or us someday becoming mates? Or something entirely different altogether?

"Yes, dear?" asked Moyst, still staring at her daughter intently.

"Y-yesterday... yesterday I was really embarrassed. I... I really was. But... I just really wanted to try that... and... and... wait, wait, I don't want you to think that's the only reason I'm saying this, because I really do love Florel and I loved him since before we started- ah! I mean, I-"

Dew was stumbling pretty badly at her speech, but regardless of how nervous she might have been, she was actually coming clean, standing bravely, and saying what was on her mind.

"I- I- I... I don't know what came over me... wait, actually, I do," she continued, though she gained a confident look on her face. "It was about a week and a half ago, I think... when we were out at the flower fields and we both saw two Poochyena mating. We watched them together and then couldn't stop thinking about it... then a few days later, we found out we were in love... and the next day, we... no! We didn't actually mate, if that's what you're thinking! Ah... I feel so embarrassed..."

The strong, male Swampert walked over and stroked his daughter's back. "Dewdrop, it's alright, you don't have to tell us everything if you don't want to or if it makes you feel uncomfortable. We aren't going to judge you either way."

"No, dad, I want to. I really do... I just... Dad...? Can I ask you an honest question?" asked Dew to Torent, looking up at him a bit shyly.

"Of course," he replied.

"I... ... I want... ... ... am I... ...? A-am I ready... to... um... to, um, m-mate...? ...with... ... ...Florel? H-hones-tly...?" Poor Dew had shut her eyes and turned her head off to the side again, shivering, but wow, with a direct question like that, who could blame her! But wow, a question like that... I wouldn't even have the gall to ask something like that... It made my heart skip a beat or two just hearing that.

Torent looked down at his nearly-crying daughter with a shocked expression on his face. Actually, Moyst had one as well. Heh, for that matter, I did, too. It was a shocking question to ask. The pause waiting for Torent to respond was absolutely brutal on me.

"Dew..." he said in a low tone. "You are both sexually mature, which means that you would most likely carry an egg should you mate. That is also why you two have both recently been highly curious about the opposite gender and have... well, you get the idea. By that definition, yes, you are ready; both of you are.

"But Dew, mating is the single most important step you will ever take in a relationship. It can have irreversible consequences in the form of potentially having to raise a child. I don't want to let that scare you away from it, but you shouldn't rush into it, either. Think carefully, perhaps try some... safer practices, which I'm sure Florel can help you out with, and be certain that you truly do love and care for Florel."

"Dew," said Moyst, getting in on what her own mate was trying to say. "Not every couple that mates love each other. You two are very lucky that you know each other so well, so I'm sure that when you do decide to, you will both be very happy."

"We aren't going to tell you when the time is right, though; as far as we're concerned, you can do it whenever and we won't judge you for it. It's your decision to make. Yours and Florel's."

"Mom... dad... thank you... ... Do you mind if I go on a walk with... with Florel? Y-y-y-you know, t-to talk about things?" asked Dew shyly. A walk?

"Go on ahead, dear," answered Moyst, smiling cheerily at us both.

"Just be back before dark and, heh, be sure to enjoy each other's company," said Torent with a smirk, causing both Dew and I to blush a bit.

"R-right," she said reluctantly, nodding her head. "We'll be back in a bit!" She turned around and then, for a change of pace, actually led me along the path rather than followed behind.

"Well, I'd say that went pretty well, huh?" I stated to her, resting my paws behind my back as I walked along behind her. We were already a few minutes down the path to the flower fields, which it looked like was where she was leading me.

"Yeah, it did..." The Mudkip took a few more steps along before stopping. "Florel?" she asked flatly.

"Yes?"

"Do you... do y-you want to... start a family some-d-day?" asked Dew with a stutter in her voice.

"Hey, didn't we already talk about this? Of course, and I want it to be with you, you know that," I answered. "Dew, what is it? What is it, really?"

She turned around and faced me, eyes closed and head hung low, lightly trembling. "W-w-we really... w-we... we really c-can m-m-mate... c-c-can't we?"

I completely froze. She didn't even tie a 'someday' to that, probably even on purpose. Did she really want to mate as soon as... as soon as, uh, now?! I wasn't even certain I was ready for it, honestly.

"Uh, we... we can, yeah," I replied. "Why do you ask?" I had to know.

The Mudkip blushed heavily. "Florel... there i-isn't anything holding us b-back, i-is there?" She opened her eyes and was staring intently up at me, looking at me with a look of... desperation?

"N-now?!" I gasped and took a step back. Maybe I was being presumptuous, but it sure felt like-

"We... could..." It felt... felt like... wow, it really was true. She really did want to mate with me, not just later on, not even in just a few days, but right now.

To further my point, she took a step towards me, then another, and then one more so she was immediately in front of me. Dew looked up at me and bore a wide smile, then proceeded to tackle me to the ground and pin me down with her two forepaws.

"Ah-! Dew!" I exclaimed as she jumped forward while on top of me and hugged me, nuzzling her face against my own and licking me lightly. It felt so good.

The refreshing feeling of simply cuddling with Dew wasn't long to last. My Mudkip love began intentionally sliding her lower belly and groin against my own, rubbing at my quickly-growing erection. She really seemed very intent on it, though I was worried she was just caught up in the moment.

I began struggling to try and break free from her, but with her being quite a bit heavier and putting her weight on me to keep me down, I was really unable to break away quite as easily as I thought. "Dew! Come on an- uhn, come on and think about this!" I shouted to her.

"Florel! I don't want to- ah- I don't want to wait anymore!" answered Dew, keeping up her antics. I was trying to move my hips and legs around to try and prevent the situation from truly escalating. You have no idea how tempted I was to simply give in to her demands, but... it just came on so suddenly that I was afraid she'd end up regretting it, as would I.

"Uhn, Dew," I moaned, unable to roll onto my side as I was attempting to do. "Your parents just said yes and we're already going ahead with mating? Just like that? You don't-" I was interrupted mid-speech, though.

"Yes! I- I need to stop being so afraid. You gave me the courage to be br- uhnnn- brave and I want to be brave again, so let's just-"

It was my turn to interrupt her. "Dew!!" I shouted, "You aren't ready. I'm not ready! We shouldn't rush into things!" Ironic for me to say, as I had always recklessly rushed into things in the past. It was so unlike me to say that. "Can't we please... just talk things through first?"

"I-..." She stopped her rubbing actions. "I'm sorry... ... I just... Florel... ... I love you. You were right about earlier: it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be, telling my parents. It just... it made me feel strong doing it, doing something I was afraid of, because... I used to think that was something only you could do."

"Huh? You mean be brave? Or actually say what's on my mind?"

She stared into my eyes as I gazed into hers, each eye shimmering and looking so beautiful. "Both... I feel more like you already. I don't like being afraid and timid... but I always knew you'd be there to protect me, so I did it anyway."

Heh, wait, was she thinking I wouldn't be there to protect her or something? "Wait, that was the only reason you were afraid of things? 'cuz I'd be there to protect you?"

"N-no! I mean, that wasn't the only reason! I was... I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. Um, I just, I- I'm glad I faced my fears today."

"Then maybe I should be more like you and say we should think things through before rushing into things, heh," I smiled at her, to which she laughed back at me. "You know, I've found myself being a lot more cautious, too. I don't remember if I've already said it to you or not, but I think loving you has made me more like you. Probably because I see and appreciate your forethought and consideration so much."

"Aww, Florel!" The cheery Mudkip reached her head down and gave me a quick kiss, right on the lips. Oh, ohhh it felt so nice... "We really are meant to be together, aren't we?"

"You know it," I said with a nod and a grin. "We can mate whenever we want now, there's no rush or worry about it. But I also think that we should do like your dad said and play around a bit more before we actually get to mating, sort of as practice."

"I... I really want to mate with you, Florel... uhhnnn... it just feels so empty down there, you have no idea! I- ah, hehe, I mean... well... it does, I don't know how to describe it. Maybe that's what's driving me crazy over it!"

"Hey, maybe. I guess the last time you had an orgasm was a few days ago, huh? ...Ah! The feeling that we both felt and shot all that liquid out -- it was called 'orgasm,' and the liquid is called 'cum.' "

Dew giggled, still on top of me, mind you. "Orgasm? Cum? Where'd you find all this out?"

I froze and panicked. She didn't know that Torent and I had a little male to male chat. "Uh...! I- I- I just-... I just did?"

The Mudkip on top of me sat up slightly and pressed her paws down against my chest. "You're lying!"

"I'm sorry... it's just, well, last night, Torent woke me up and... well, we talked for a bit, about mating and stuff like that. I didn't tell him about us, though!" I also added, underneath my breath, "Though it was probably easy enough for him to guess anyway..."

"O- oh... why didn't you tell me?" she released the pressure on her paws, but took on a slightly let down expression on her face.

"It's not like I really had a chance to... besides, it was a male to male chat and supposed to be secret, so... ... ...yeah, really failed that one, didn't I?"

"Mmhmmm." Dew nodded. "But wait, what else did he tell you about mating? Florel, you have to tell me! Please!" She sure was getting to be quite the mating enthusiast.

"He told me some ways to 'mate without actually mating,' as he put it, and they were kind of like we've been doing, except different... but, I- I can't tell you those," I said to her, deviously hiding back my next statement. I knew exactly what I was going to say and would only hope she'd take the bait.

"W-w-wha?! Florel! It's me! Please...?!" the Mudkip begged, applying a threatening amount pressure to my chest with her paws and lightly rubbing her hips on top of mine.

"Well, I can always show you, hehe," I said with a chuckle, shooting her a sly look and eager to try out some of my newfound knowledge.

"O-oh?!" exclaimed Dew, perking up and appearing quite excited. "Please! Please do!" She was smiling again, eyes closed and tail wagging, just the way I loved seeing her.

I laughed. "How about 'ya get off of me first?" She quickly obliged and hopped off of me, revealing my rather moist belly and slick erection proudly displaying itself. Guess we did come pretty close to mating there, didn't we? "Oh, hey, how about we go off to the flower fields, too? It's just always so much nicer there, don't you agree?"

Dew nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! I agree! I love the flower fields..."

"One condition, though: I want you to lead. I want to stare at that cute butt of yours, hehehe...!" I blushed after saying that, but it was true; it was a view that not only was I not used to seeing, but one I quite enjoyed.

Dew stared blankly for a few seconds, blinking and appearing almost in disbelief. Finally, she broke out blushing and laughing quite hard. "Haha, Florrrrel! Fine then," she said, jumping so her back was facing me. She turned around, stuck her tongue out, and then shook her tail and rump at me. "Come on and catch me!"

I playfully shook my fist, purely as an act, then chased her along the path to our favorite location. I let her stay ahead of me the whole time, even though I knew I could outrun her without even trying. The view was just too nice.

A few chase-filled minutes later, we finally arrived at the place that felt like our second home: the flower fields. We both frolicked gleefully throughout them until we both fell onto our backs beside each other and gazed up at the clouds.

"I really love this place..." said Dew.

"Yeah, it has some nice memories," I replied, remembering the time that we were out and I licked her until she hit orgasm, then lapped up her delicious cum. Perhaps I would have another taste of that sweet treat today.

"You know, I have this weird feeling inside... I feel excited, anxious, nervous..." She didn't have to explain the feeling to me; I knew what she was talking about.

"About what just happened or about what's going to happen?" I asked her, hoping she'd open up and tell me. It could be either of the two. I was more excited about what was going to happen, heh.

"I- I don't know... I think a bit of both... What if I'm a horrible mate to you? What if we end up regretting it? What if we aren't supposed to be mates and just supposed to be friends? What if-"

"Dew!" I exclaimed, quickly interrupting her before she became too consumed in self-doubt to resist breaking down. "Listen, we've been friends all of our lives! I'd say I'd know if we weren't meant to be together, don't you think? Personally, I can't see myself with any other Pokemon... I wouldn't know them the same way I know you, and I don't think I could love them the same way, either..."

"But... but... you don't know for sure..." she whimpered, rolling over on her side and facing away from me.

"You're nervous because you don't want things to change between us, right? You're still afraid they're going to turn out worse? I mean... do you think you'd ever know a Pokemon as well as you know me? Or... or even love another Pokemon?"

"N-no!" she said, rolling back over so she was looking right at me. "I- I just don't want... ... I don't want you to stop being my friend." The Mudkip kept silent after saying that. She seemed almost frozen and statue-like.

I smiled and then rolled over to her, on my side, and embraced her in a hug on the ground. "Mates or not... I'll always be your friend. Always. I mean it! I don't want you to think that I'll just throw away all the fun times we had together and look at you only as a mate, because that's really what it's about... that's really why we're together... it's not because we just mated and have to care for our children, forcing us together; no, we're together because we've known each other for as long as we can remember and really love being around each other."

"Mmmm... Florel, I don't know why I always break down and have to question that... it just seems... it seems to good to be true, doesn't it?"

"I'm glad it is true," I answered with a giggle, earning a smile in return from Dew.

"I... I really think we're going to be happy together as mates... I- I'm sorry for worrying so much about it! It just... the thought of actually... ... you know, starting a family... with you... it's really overwhelming!"

"Tell me about it! You think I'm not nervous?"

Dew responded by rolling on top of me and pinning me beneath her as she'd done not so long ago. "Hey, you're not the one who's going to have an egg growing inside of you! And then... then I've gotta pop it out of my... umm... yeah..."

I blushed. The thought of just how painful and grueling the whole ordeal would be never really crossed my mind before, nor did I even consider that it would be crossing Dew's mind. "Hey, well we don't have to have a kid."

"But I want to be your mate! And to mate with you," said Dew, humming cheerfully as she rubbed the side of her face against mine, smiling as happily as she could. Her mood swings sure did amaze me sometimes, how she could go from being sad and mopey to bright and cheery in just a minute or two.

"Are you sure? Absolutely? Like, I don't want you regretting anything... though I don't think you would. I just don't want us to mate if you think it's only because I want to or only to make me happy. It's gonna feel so good, but I want it to feel good for both of us, because we want to do it together..."

"I know, I know. It did feel good! I mean, um, at least what 'mating' we did do... you know, hehe, you licking me... that was... it was really good, and if mating feels even better... I really want to mate with you!"

I grabbed her face with my paws and rubbed her cheeks. Her eyes were absolutely stunning to look at, so much that it almost stopped me from talking. "D-Dew... if we mate... it's for good. I want it to be for the rest of our lives. It could mean... change. Change in the fact that we'll want to mate more, change in the fact that you'll become pregnant, change in the fact that we'll both have to take care of... our child. Can... can you accept that?"

Dew's jolly smiling turned to a look of total and absolute seriousness. I saw in her eyes just how serious she was about the response she was about to speak. I could tell, even before she spoke, what she was going to say and just how much she meant it. It was just one of those moments that really hit me. "I can. I want to. I want you, Florel... I want to spend the rest of my life with you... and I... I... I think it would be just so amazing to have a little baby with you..."

"Well... it's settled then, right? Your parents are fine with it. I'm fine with it. You're fine with it." I smiled and gave Dew a quick kiss right between her eyes. "Guess there's nothing stopping us, is there?"

"Oh, Florel... I love you..." moaned Dew, closing her eyes and smiling peacefully.

"I love you, too, Dew," I responded. I began licking her neck, causing her to giggle and squirm slightly, though I persisted in my licking. While her guard was down, I shifted our bodies around and rolled over so I was now on top of her, licking all across her neck and head while she continued laughing out loud.

I continued my licking, licking down her chest and sliding myself down her body so I could run my tongue across her belly. The Mudkip was giggling and fidgeting about, seeming to enjoy the little treatment I was giving her.

Finally, I ran my tongue right down to her groin before halting my licking. I was on my hands and knees, now, with my head looming just above her girlhood. I could see it right there, her delicate little flower staring at me, inviting me inside to taste some of its nectar.

Without asking for confirmation, I slowly brought my head forward and slid my tongue across her clit, causing her to moan and twitch lightly. The chat I had with Torent last night helped give me a better idea of what I should be doing, so this time, rather than running my tongue across her slit cluelessly, I emphasized on licking that little bump, rolling my tongue around it in a circular motion.

She appeared to be enjoying it... a lot. "Oh, Florel!" she cried out, slamming the back of her head against the grass beneath her and wriggling her body around in response to my tonguework.

Following Torent's advice, I tried to vary how I was licking that little nub. Rather than stick to the same, predictable motion, he said that alternating was really the way to go to keep the female interested and aroused. Being totally unpredictable is careless, but mixing it up every minute or so was important, or so he said. Taking that bit of advice, I decided to try running my tongue across her clitoris horizontally, flitting a pronounced bit of Mudkip flesh hugging her clit which was also supposedly quite sensitive.

Since I had my hands free, I figured I'd put them to work by sliding a digit inside of her vagina while I let my tongue pleasure the upper part of her girlhood. I'd put my tongue in there after I've made sure that it'd be rewarded with that juicy treat I so desperately craved. Already, as I slid a finger along the edge of the pinkish slit, I could feel moisture saturating my lone digit. That was a good sign.

I slid my digit along the base for a few seconds, up and down, never ceasing my licking, before finally spreading her entrance open a bit and sliding my finger into that tender hole. Doing so earned a startled "Kip!" from Dew, though it was clearly reactive and not out of pain. She sounded like she was really, really getting into it. I knew I sure was.

Now that I had a finger inside of her, I could feel her pinkish innards lightly squeeze and grip at it, welcoming it inside. Additionally, she felt quite wet -- exactly what I was looking for. I started withdrawing my digit an inch or so before sliding it back in, only to repeat the process perhaps a dozen times, all while returning to my circular tongue treatment along her slit.

She was getting close. She was panting heavily, sweating a bit, and writhing on the ground uncontrollably. Dew seemed completely lost in the experience. I didn't want to waste any time, otherwise I might miss out! After giving a quick flick inside of her opening, I withdrew my finger from her vagina and used my two paws to spread her moist, pink labia apart, presenting her wet and dripping hole to my eager tongue.

I thrust my tongue forward, dipping it in with little effort, and lowered my head so my nose felt like it was rubbing against her clit. I couldn't tell for sure -- I had closed my eyes out of sheer delight after inserting my tongue into her.

Her taste, that oh-so-familiar taste, was absolutely earth-shattering! It tasted amazing, though far from purely sweet, quite tangy as well. Just like last time, I felt incredibly light-headed after lapping up and taking in her scent and flavor. I felt really attached to her, really in love, and really... reeeaaallly horny!

I could feel my erection throbbing beneath me, eager to receive the kind of attention I was giving to Dew, or, perhaps even eager to go ahead and mate. Mate with her, right then and there! Pull out my tongue, slide up on top of her, and stick that thing in! It... it wouldn't have been right to do that, but it sure was tempting to. It sure was tempting...

"Ah! Flo-fl-floreell! Mmm! Ahh! It's- ahh!- so good! Florel!" Dew screamed through heavy panting and wriggling.

Had my mouth not have been preoccupied with, you know, pleasuring Dew, I would have told her just how much I loved her and that I was enjoying treating her like this. However, I'd have to make due with just showing her instead!

She began yipping and squealing even louder, and at a quicker, more erratic rate. She was about to have her orgasm! My suspicions were verified when I felt her internal walls forcefully squeezing my tongue and trying to pull it inside.

After a few more seconds of erratic squeezing and twitching, Dew squealed out loud what I think was my name, tensing up and pushing her groin right up against my face, plunging my tongue in as far as it could possibly go.

She then released several gushes of that intoxicating liquid all over my mouth and spilling a bit on my face and chin. I withdrew enough of my tongue to try and greedily take every last bit of that mind-tripping fluid. It made me feel so peaceful, so relaxed, so... in love. Ah... it was so nice.

Dew seemed to be pretty exhausted, panting and not moving at all. I finished lapping up the remaining spoils before sliding up on top of her to embrace her in a hug. I licked her cheek, causing her to lightly giggle.

"How was it?" I asked her, hoping that she enjoyed it even more than the last time, particularly because of the extra attention to detail I gave.

"Mmm... Florel, that was amazing!" she replied, wrapping her arms around me and holding me close, smiling the whole time. However, after a second or so, I noticed her appear to freeze for a second, blinking and staring vacantly at me. "F- Florel, um... uh..."

"What is it?" I asked her, wondering why it was that she stopped and looked rather miffed.

The Mudkip answered by tilting her head and looking down towards our legs, pointing down there with a free paw. "Just maybe, um... if we wanted to mate... uh... well, you're pretty close to it..." said Dew through several reluctant pauses.

It hit me after she said that. I could even feel what it was she was talking about. My member was right up next to her groin! I didn't even notice it until she pointed it out, or at least, notice it on a conscious level. I was so turned on after pleasuring Dew that maybe I was subconsciously plotting to proceed with mating with her.

"S-sorry..." I apologized, unsure of whether she was looking for an apology or for me to actually go ahead with it. Knowing her, though, at least recently, she was probably hoping that I'd gone ahead with it. Oh well, I still felt that an apology was in order.

"N-no! You don't have to apologize!" I knew it. "I- uh, maybe... we should...? I mean... that was so incredible... and I think we've waited long enough, don't you?"

"Like an hour?" Of course, quite a lot has changed in said hour, most noticeably my arousal.

"Well...! We talked a bit first! Florel, I just love you so much... I've been wanting to mate with you for so long now... I-I-I mean for the past week or so! N-not like, f-from-... I-I'm sorry... Even before I told you I love you -- or you told me, really -- I've kind of wanted to... deep down..."

"Really?" I asked her. Sounded to me like she was intent on opening up some more of her feelings, which always made me happy to hear.

"Y-yeah... even before we saw that Poochyena couple..." Wow, that was even a bit earlier than I expected. Heck, I hadn't really started thinking about someday mating with her until the night she was moaning in her sleep about me, and that was after seeing those Poochyena. "I, um... well, shortly after mom and dad gave us the talk about having babies and stuff, I started feeling... uh... um... anxious, or something, and I kept looking at you differently."

"Differently...? What do 'ya mean?"

"Well... I feel really kind of embarrassed saying all of this... but whenever I looked at you, I felt all nervous and excited inside, and I couldn't explain why to myself either. I started thinking about what mom and dad told us... then about what few glances I got at your, um, penis... and I couldn't help but every now and then think of you sticking it inside of me and us having a baby. B-b-but I also started thinking of you for more than just that... and, um, I guess now that I think of it, that feeling must have been... love."

That certainly surprised me. I knew that she must have had feelings for me before our little encounter with the mating couple, but Dew's parents gave us the talk almost a whole month before we saw the two pups mate! She's been... looking at me like that for all that time? "Dew... you... ... was... was the time we were walking here, right before seeing the Poochyena couple and you didn't tell me you loved me... was that the only time? Or were you trying to tell me other times and I just wasn't noticing or you didn't go through with it?" It was a little embarrassing asking that, especially being right on top of her and horny as a Nidoran in heat, but I really had to know.

"I... I wanted to tell you a few times before then, but I kept quiet because I... I didn't want you to think I was weird or to ruin our friendship..." Dew looked to be a little bit depressed, though far from the previous states of depression I'd seen her in. It made me feel a bit depressed, too, knowing that, for whatever reason, I didn't make her feel comfortable enough to confide in me about her feelings. I guess I was a lot more clueless and self-centered to realize it back then, heh.

"Aww, Dew... I love you so much..." I held her tightly, taking care to not let my member go astray. "I wish I would have seen it as early as you saw your love for me... but I'm also so glad that, for whatever reason and however we got to be, we are in love like we are now..."

"Yeah... I... thank you, Florel... thank you for loving me back. You have no idea how much it means to me... and how happy I am when I'm with you."

"Hey now, yeah I do!" I exclaimed with a chuckle. "You really think I'm not happy being with you? Ha! Even though we're a lot different when it comes to our sense of adventure -- well, I guess... " She'd taken on quite the sense of adventure recently, though not in the sense of exploring caves, heh. "Uh, anyway, there's still nothing that makes me happier or makes me feel more whole than when you're by my side... or even on top of me or beneath me like you are now!"

Dew laughed, licking my cheek after doing so. "Hey, Florel... I do want to say something else."

"Yes?" I asked, relaxing my grip on her and looking at her anxiously.

"I've probably said it already, but I want to say it again, because it really means a lot to me... regardless of if we become mates or if we love each other... you're my best friend, Florel... I can't tell you what your friendship means to me... I want to be your mate, I want to mate with you, but I also want to make sure that we're always still friends, laughing and playing with each other just like we are now and just like we've always been."

"Dew... that's so sweet. I'll always be your friend and will always hope you'll be mine. But... you know... if you're a mom, you're going to have to play with me less and play more with our son or daughter!" I said to her, smiling brightly thinking about having a little tyke to take care of.

"Aww, but I still want to play with you!" she retorted, nuzzling against my face lovingly.

"Well, I'm sure we'll figure something out, hehe."

The next few moments were just spent gazing into each other's eyes. I couldn't say anything. I didn't know what to say, I really didn't. Part of me wanted to throw caution to the wind and suggest we mate, right then and there. Part of me just wanted to lay on top of her, cozy and snug, for the rest of the day. Dew... She really was the most important thing in my life. Without her, I don't know where I'd be.

"Florel," she started, breaking the silence we shared together, "I want... I... please... please, Florel... I'm ready... I've been ready for so long..."

"Dew...?" Not like I didn't know where she was going. I knew exactly what she was going to say. It was the same thing she'd been saying since we left for the flower fields. It was the same thing she'd been wanting to say for over a month, apparently.

"I want to... I want to mate... please... please, can we mate...?" Dew stared deeply into my eyes. Her eyes, her beautiful, beautiful eyes were shimmering like diamonds. Above all, above the all-encompassing feeling of excitement and anticipation, above what she asked me... she asked from the bottom of her heart, without turning away out of fear. She was looking at me, right at me. It wasn't something that she was nervous about doing -- well, I mean, surely she was nervous, but -- it was something that she genuinely wanted and felt that she was ready for.

"Dew..." I said lightly. "But, your parents... we just left... you just wanted to talk, you told them..." Bringing that up was probably a mistake, but I knew it was something that had to be said. She freaked out pretty bad after they walked in on us in the past, though this time I was sure they both had pretty high suspicious that we did go off to mate...

"I know... but, um, Florel... they did say it was okay. They did. I know them and they wouldn't have said that to me if they didn't mean it..." Dew used her two forepaws to touch my cheeks, then continued her pleading stare. "It's about us. If you don't want to mate now... ... that... that's fine. I won't be sad, or disappointed, or think that you don't love me, because I know that you do love me... and I know that we will mate someday. But Florel, I want to mate, mate with you, because I love you... because it's something I've always wanted to share with you... and because I finally feel nothing is holding us back."

"D- Dew... That was... that was so sweet..." I had tried to stop her just an hour or so ago, on our way to the flower fields, but that was because I really didn't think we were ready. I really didn't think I was ready. Now, though... now it was different.

"So, um, Florel... do you... do you want to mate? N-now?" To my surprise, Dew pulled my head in close and embraced our lips together in a kiss, as if to persuade me to agree.

Between that, her touching request, and, oh, my still-present arousal dying for a release, I really couldn't refuse. It really was the time for us to make it real. It was time for us to create that bond together; though I couldn't tell for sure, it felt like a bond that we'd already shared together.

"I..." I started as she released me from her kiss, "I do." I smiled, blushing and glad to finally give in. Glad to finally regain a bit of my old self -- a bit of the reckless, think-about-the-consequences-later Treecko I used to be. A bit of myself that I now saw in Dew. Soon enough, I'd have another bit of myself in her, heh.

Without any verbal response, Dew pulled me in tightly for another passionate kiss, kissing me deeply and without restrain. She was maneuvering her paws all across my face, tagging my tongue with her own, and sliding her hind legs against my body from beneath me. I, too, joined in on the fun, wrapping my arms around her body and closing my eyes, leaving only my imagination and best guess to envision the look on her face.

We proceeded to spend the next few minutes making out as we were, rolling around in a loving, romantic embrace amongst the flowers. I felt so close to Dew, more than just physically, more than just as a friend. I felt the warm sensation of love for Dew flow all throughout my body and mind.

I finally ended up breaking our kiss. I'd found myself to be pretty much in the same position I was when we first started our little escapade -- on top of her and staring into her gorgeous eyes. She was staring right back into mine, staying quiet and silent yet speaking so powerfully with her eyes and her eyes alone.

"Are you ready?" I asked her, knowing fully well that she'd say yes. I just wanted to hear her say it. I wanted it to ring in my head for the rest of my life. I had no clue just how amazing mating would feel, having had only glimpses of the feeling through means of oral mating, but I knew that I would never forget this very moment. Never.

"Yes," answered Dew quite simply. Did she need to say anything more? Nope. Even a nod of the head would have done, though hearing that one short, sweet word made sure that I would never forget it.

It'd be a lie if I said I didn't know what to do; of course I knew. Torent told me plenty about it. I'd just never actually tried it before. Of course, it'd also be a lie if I said that I wasn't nervous, because I was completely overwhelmed with nervousness and excitement, anticipation and desire, and that's just barely touching the broad spectrum of emotions I was feeling.

Just as I was collecting my thoughts and preparing myself to take the plunge into true matehood, I remembered something. I remembered what I said to Dew, what I suggested to her that night we confessed our feelings.

"Dew," I said, getting off of her belly and sitting down on my butt, "do you remember how I said I wanted to try mate? With us hugging, sitting upright like this? Maybe it's silly, but... do you want to do it like that? At least, to start?"

She sat up as well, sitting on her rear and smiling at me. "That sounds nice," she responded, scooting over to me before falling into my arms once more. I lifted her up and situated her so she was on my lap. She had her forepaws wrapped around my body just as I had mine around hers. We nuzzled our noses together before sharing one more brief kiss together.

I could feel my erection rub against her belly. Her lower belly, at that. I knew that, just like that one night, if I were just to lean my hips forward and probe her body with my penis, I'd find her opening. I'd find it and be able to slide right in. Part of me was thinking that it would have been smart to survey her region once more with my fingers, just to make sure I was familiar enough with it, but it was too late now for that. We were already too well situated for what was about to take place.

"Go on, Florel. I love you," said Dew in a sweet, heavenly voice.

"I love you, too, Dew," I answered back, tightening my grip on our hug and taking one last gulp to swallow my fears.

I started using my paws to lightly tilt Dew's belly more towards me, all while moving my hips closer to hers, running my penis slowly across her soft white underbelly until I felt it gently slide across that little nub of hers, inciting a squeak from the Mudkip.

Just a little more to go... I pulled her just a bit closer until I could feel my member poking at her delicate slit. That was it. I was really going to do this. I was really going to mate with Dew. I pushed my hips forward ever so slightly, feeling my penis greeted by the smooth, moist, pinkish flesh of her girlhood. It had parted her slit open a bit, allowing it room to probe the upper region of her vulva as it made its way down into the hole it was being invited to.

I finally felt my member rest at the entrance to her vagina. I could feel it pulsing and beating slightly as the tip of my member laid against it, ready and eager to make its journey inside. It was quite similar to when I had my finger up by it, except rather than just being a simple finger probing it, it was the single most arousing part of my body that would be sliding inside of her!

"Dew..." I mumbled in a low voice, almost coming out as a whisper. I adjusted my penis slightly, feeling her vagina anticipating and accommodating it's entry, then with a single moment of absolute suspense, I pushed forward and felt my member enter a warm, moist, and extremely pleasurable passage.

"Kiiip!" yipped Dew, causing me to worry slightly. I halted for a sec only to see her willingly move her body in closer to mine, taking my cock even deeper inside of her. The feeling of her vagina was quite different from her mouth. It felt pleasurable all around my member, squeezing and gripping it with its somewhat squishy walls.

We connected our bodies close together before I started pulling her hips back using my arms while leaning my hips back, effectively sliding myself out of Dew. Just as it felt fantastic when she had bobbed on my cock, it felt incredible sliding out of her, too, knowing that it'd be going back inside of her.

Aware that she felt similar pleasure when I inserted a finger or a tongue in there, I knew it was the right thing. I did exit her, even though I was thinking I should have just stayed a little inside. I was still getting used to the feeling, where to thrust, and just how much I was pushing inside. Regardless, it was far easier than before to slide my member back into her warm girlhood and feel its blissful embrace on my shaft.

This time, though, we hugged each other even closer, kissing each other while mating. I felt myself enter even deeper than I had during the last thrust, causing her to release another "Kiiip," though this one being much louder.

"Mmmhnnn... you okay?" I asked her, trying to be courteous. Maybe I had already hit 'her spot,' as Torent described it.

"Y-yeah, it's just... it's so good, Florel," answered Dew, looking lovingly at me with a face full of blush.

After the next few thrusts, we had developed a rhythm which we both kept, pushing and bucking, rubbing and sliding against each other like clockwork. We were both letting out delighted moans and giggles, surely enjoying the pleasure we were both giving to one another.

Mating was even better than I could have imagined it being. It was better than all that I've felt, all that I've heard, and all that I've seen. It connected Dew and I on a level that we'd never been connected before. We should have done it awhile ago. Well, no, now was the time. We were mating at just the time we were supposed to. No doubts.

We kept up our motions for a minute or so before I ended up guiding her down onto her back, allowing me to thrust into her from on top of her. Such a pose gave me a lot more control and made pushing my member into her feel even more incredible. I was driving my member right into her, yet it was so comfortable. It felt like it was just slicing through air. No, not air, but a... well, can't really describe it, heh. It just felt fantastic!

Oh, I could mate forever, I thought. The feeling of sliding my penis deep inside of her, deep inside of my friend, my best friend, my mate. The thoughts and satisfaction of knowing that I was providing her pleasure. The look on her face, the look of pure bliss and ecstasy. It was just so incredible. I wanted to mate with Dew for the rest of my life.

I felt significantly less resistance as we kept up our mating. I could feel her groin area moistening as I slammed mine down against it, indicating that we must have been leaking our fluids and it had something to do with the easier time we were having mating in this pose.

The thought of asking Dew to stand on all fours and mate her the traditional way crossed my mind, but I think we both wanted to continue our tender embrace together far more than we wanted to try something new. Perhaps another time; right now, mating like we were was absolutely perfect.

Dew had squatted her legs back and spread them apart slightly, making sliding in and out of her little opening a breeze. She was yipping and moaning erratically, yet so blissfully. She sounded happier than any time I had pleasured her before -- much happier.

"Mmm, uhnn, Dew... this is... incred-ible..." I said through pants and moans, keeping my eyes closed out of pleasure for half the time speaking.

"K-kiip, F-Florel, it i-is... I l-love y-you, F-Florel...!" said the Mudkip in response, tilting her head to the side and opening her mouth wide, presumably to intake more air or to let out more squeals or something.

The pleasure I was feeling was starting to reach new heights. I could feel my orgasm nearing. With how much pleasure I was receiving, I knew I'd hit my release in no more than a minute, even if I held back everything I could.

I had an option: I could pull my member out of Dew to decrease the chances she'd get pregnant and wait to have a kid later, or I could proceed and release my orgasm inside of Dew, shooting my life-bearing semen inside of her to likely get her pregnant. The feeling felt so good that I knew it would be incredibly tempting to just let go inside of her, but... parenthood is a huge responsibility. Was I really ready for it? Really? Was Dew?

I was running out of time. I knew I had to ask Dew to see if she really wanted us to start our family in just a few weeks, the amount of time it would take for the egg to grow, lay, and hatch.

"Dew... I- I'm gonna... I'm gonna blow any s-second now... D-d-do y-you want me t-to pull out of you? It might mean you won-n't g-get preg-nant, uhhhnn... Or d-do you -- uhhhnn -- want to... w-want us to be p-parents...?"

"F-Florel, I... I love you. I d-don't t-thi-aahh-think anyth-ing c-could chaa-nge that. I want t-t-t-aahn, ah! Kip! Aaaah!!" She was unable to finish her sentence and I think I knew why. I felt it. I felt her vaginal walls tightly squeeze and choke my member, pulling it deep inside and practically locking me to her as she cried out in ecstasy.

The tight, violent squeezing against my already sensitive cock was just too much for me to bear. Just as she'd undoubtedly hit her own orgasm, I had lost all restraint to give in to mine. Unlike every time in the past we'd had an orgasm, even if it was by each other's side, this time, it truly would be together.

I felt a strong, stinging sensation sweep over my body and shoot straight down to my groin. It flowed through my member and, with a loud screech, I was completely overpowered by the most intense orgasm I think could ever have shaken this earth.

"Dewwww!!" I cried out, slamming down on and into Dew for one final thrust, forcing spurt after spurt of my semen deep into the greatest depths of her vagina. I didn't know what exactly was at the very end of it or the exact specifics of what my sperm would do to create an egg inside of her, but I knew that life had a very grandiose way of coming to be and mating truly was the ultimate reward for producing such life. Mating, and the feeling of love, of course.

I finally felt the Mudkip's squeezing cease and my own pumping dry to a halt, though I could feel that her groin was totally soaked beneath me. It was essentially just a passing thought, however, as I collapsed on top of my best friend and my new mate.

"Haa... haaa... that was..." I said through heavy panting.

"Oh, Florel... that was amazing... I love you so much!" exclaimed Dew, hugging me tightly. I noticed that her legs had already been relaxed and were spread limp to her sides. I was still planted inside of her, although I could feel my erection quickly subsiding.

Actually, my erection wasn't the only thing subsiding -- my consciousness was quickly flickering, too. I was completely and utterly exhausted after releasing my orgasm into Dew and mating for the very first time with her. It was an overwhelming experience, yes, but it was, without a doubt, the absolute best experience I'd ever had, and best of all, I got to share it with the one Pokemon that means more to me than anything else in the world: Dew.

"I love you, Dew..." was the last thing I said before I blacked out and fell asleep on top of Dew, too tired to go on, but in an absolutely euphoric state of bliss. Everything seemed so amazing now. We really had become mates. It was done. We did it. After all this time, we were now not only best of friends, but we were full-fledged mates. Before long, we'd undoubtedly have a little Mudkip running around -- the product of both of our love and friendship.

Ah, yes, sweet dreams of our happy family-to-be filled my mind as I slept in a contented slumber, completely oblivious to the rest of the world.
