Enjoy reading!", "writing": "Right away Levi and Oliver grabbed Tom and put him on his feet. He still couldn't walk by himself, so he rested his arms on both canines and they started walking towards the school.\n\nIt didn't take long for someone to speak: ,,What happened to you? Did you faint or something?\" Levi started asking, simply worried about the battered fox.\n\n,,My legs just cut down. They weren't prepared for it... \" he replied, embarrassed and sad at the same time.\n\n,,Screw it Tom, you were extremely fast! I didn't expect you to run like that.\" Oliver butted in. He was full of admiration.\n\n,,But at what cost..\" Levi replied to his friend  from the second side.\n\n,,Ahrr come on man, he will be fine. Stop worrying that much about him. Such things happen all the time\" the grey wolf tried to calm down both furs. Levi just sighed in reply.\n\nWolf turned his head to the fox and spoke: ,,You will be in the top three for sure. You overcome Marcus that is always first or second placed!\" Oliver almost shouted it out. He looked really proud and happy of the fox now.\n\nTom's facial expression changed from dejected to rich excited: ,, Seriously?\" he asked, turning his sight on the wolf.\n\n,,Yes men, you were great. But now let's take care of you\" Oli cut their conversation noticing that they were close to the door of the building.\n\nTom already had more control in his legs but he still needed support from his classmates. The infirmary was on the ground floor close to the main entrance. When they finally reached it, Oliver decided to go back to the class. He first wished the fox return to full health and then they said goodbye to each other. Levi decided to stay with Thomas, at least to help him get into the infirmary. Husky knocked on the door.\n\n,,Come in\" feminine voice replied to knocking.\n\nHe opened the door and said:  ,,Good morning Ms.Kelly, I have a patient\"\n\n,,Oh, let him sit on the bed, I will come in a second\" she said from behind the monitor.\nLevi did what she ordered.\n\nHusky stood in front of Tom, with right paw holding his left wrist when he spoke: ,,Well... I will go too. So, I hope you will come back to your full strength. By Thomas\" he waved to the fox and headed to the doors.\n\nTom felt weird that after a whole day around Levi, now he will be left alone. He just couldn't let this happen, so he decided to stop the leaving canine: ,,Wait! You can stay, if you want\" \n\nThe cream canine stopped in front of the door. He stood there for a moment, when suddenly he spun around, looking at the fox Levi said:  ,,I can.. Yes, yes of course I want!\" he looked very happy by the Tom proposal. His tail wagged heavily and he himself was smiling widely.\n\nSeems like being around the fox makes him very cheerful. Tom wonders why, because  they still didn't know each other. So what was the reason? Fox had no idea how to ask him about this, so he hoped that the answer would come by itself.\n\nLevi took a seat on the Tom side and asked him:  ,,How are you feeling now?\" \n\n,,Well I'm definitely better. Still my legs are a bit numb, but in a moment i should walk by myself.\" Fox replied looking and touching his down limbs.\n\nThen the husky looked on the ground in front of himself. His smile turned sad and in a low sorrowful tone he said:  ,,You fell so....so....helplessly. Why did you put so much effort into it?\" He looked gloomy at the fox.\n\nTom sighed and started thinking loudly:  ,,I don't know.... That wasn't to show off. Well....Maybe exactly for this? To show that this little fox also can...ehh\"  Fox felt stupid at this point. He couldn't decide what was more embarrassing for him. That he wanted to be someone that he really wasn't or how it all ended.\n\nLevi put his paw on Tom's shoulder and said: ,,You dummy. This is the wrong way you choose. Just be yourself!\" Canine shook Tom lightly.\n\nThomas slightly laughed and replied: ,,Ye..you are right. I will not be doing such a thing anymore. I promise.\" Tom appreciates his criticism. That was important that someone straight told him this \n\nLevi took his paw back. Now he had them together on his thighs. He looked at them and shyly started speaking: ,,Tom can I ask....\" Someone interrupted him.\n\n,,Ok, let's see what's going on with you.\" The nurse said, getting up from her chair and moving to the cubs. A female Golden retriever started to investigate the fox.\n\n,,I see that you scrapped your knee quite hard, let's take care of it.\" She said, reaching for disinfection liquid and bandages. With both products in paws she crouched down in front of Tom's injured leg.\n\nBefore the nurse started to disinfect the wound, she looked up at Thomas and warned him: ,,It will hurt, so prepare yourself for this\"\n\nTommy wasn't happy by what he heard and his face was telling this. Levi noticed that, so he grabbed a fox paw and said: ,,Hold my paw, you can even squish if you need it. Hope it will help you somehow...\". He blushed a bit when Tom slightly tightened his paw and said: ,,Thank you\". Tommy also blushed lightly after this.\n\nThe nurse started to pour liquid on the wound, making the fox scream and squishing the paw offered before. Screaming gradually became quiet, changing to some tears running off his cheek. Levi by his other paw wiped them out. Thomas looked at the shyly looking husky and said: ,,Thank you very much\". Levi responded with a smile.\n\nA golden retriever cleaned around the wound from blood and she bandaged his knee after that.\n\nThe nurse got up and spoke: ,,Done, are you able to walk? I heard from your conversation the reason why you came here\"\n\nBoth cubs felt strange, because they thought that she didn't listen to them.\n\n,,I will try\" Tom replied to her.\n\nCub realised that he was still holding Levi's paw, so he released her from his grip. He gazed embarrassed at the husky and in low tone spoke: ,,I'm sorry...If-if you feel uncomfortable because of me.\" . Unexpectedly Creamy husky grabbed Tom's paw again. The fox was confused by this move.\n\n  ,,I will help you stand up\" Levi said and at the same time stood up from the bed.\n\n,,Uhm, thanks\" Tom said with an unsure smile but deeply, he was glad for this.\n\nThey tried, and Thomas could walk but his lower limbs felt heavy. Nonetheless it was enough for him to move on his own.\n\n,,Ok I will be alright\", fox showed thumbs up.\n\n,,Fantastic. Do u need anything else?\" A female canine asked from Tommy's side.\n\nThe fox looked at her and responded: ,,No, I will go now. Thank you for taking care of me\" \n\n,,My pleasure!\" She said back.\n\nBoth canine exited the infirmary waving paws to the nurse for goodbye. Levi took out his phone to check the time. Classes were already over for them so he decided to go straight to the gym for their things.\n\nOn the way the fox started contemplating about all what happened in the past hour. He felt safe with a creamy husky on his side, and he knew that Levi felt maybe even better with him around. Cub also wonders if Levi is looking for physical contacts with his friends. It was clearly visible for Tom that he liked such interactions. They haven't talked on the way, both seemed lost in thoughts.\n\nFinally they reached the destination. No one was inside anymore, so they just went straight to their lockers. They started changing to casual clothes. The older canine finished first. He wanted to ask Tommy for something so he waited until the smaller classmate finished. When Tom finally did, Levi spoke.\n\n,,I wanted to ask you something but Ms.Kelly interrupted me...\" He stood shyly holding his left elbow by another paw.\n\n,,Yup, what's up?\"\n\nA cream canine took a big breath and released him before he started speaking: ,,So emm...we spent a lot of time today and.... I feel good around you. So, do you want to be my...\" Canine hesitated with the last word. He shyly looked at the fox that was full of curiosity and hopefulness: ,,To be my friend?\" He said it in a low voice.\n\nTommy's tail instantly started wagging and he grinned like never before: ,,Of course I do! You were with me for the whole day, leading me and caring for me. Who Im to say no after what have you done for me?\". He felt how his body heats up after his speech but Tom continued: ,,When I came here the only thing that matters for me was to find anyone to at least talk. And i found you. I still can't believe my luck!\"\n\nHusky stood there speechless, blushing more than ever before. Without hesitation he ran to the fox and hugged him tightly. \n\nThomas was surprised by his new friend's reaction, but Tom also tightened him. For some reason his heart skipped a beat at that moment. He could feel how Levi's heart was racing, or maybe it was his own? He couldn't say, but for sure all of this was enjoyable for him. Their cuddling lasted for a while, when suddenly Levi broke the hug. Now they were looking into their eyes.\n\n,,I'm also incredibly happy that we met each other!\" Levi said excitedly holding both foxes shoulders.\n\nSuddenly the room filled up by the sound of opening doors. Both boys automatically took a step back reaching for their things.\n\nAfter a while someone from behind spoke to them: ,,Ouu, I didn't expect anyone here\" the PE teacher said a bit shocked. He smiled when he realized who they were: ,,That's you guys. Is everything fine with your legs kid?\" He asked, directly looking at the fox.\n\n,,It seems that, they still feel a bit heavy but i will stretch them out soon\" kid replied.\n\nThe black cat came closer to the young furs and said: ,,You sacrificed yourself, but thanks to this you were second placed with 59 seconds, only one second behind 1st place. Congratulations!\" he looked impressed.\n\n,,That's awesome Tom!\" Levi yelled.\n\nThomas stood frozen there. Despite that Oliver said, that most likely he should be high in the table, Tom still was shocked by the news. Finally he found himself to speak ,,I'm surprised by myself, I didn't expect that I might be as good! \".\n\nThe teacher just laughed and said: ,,And you were the smallest out of them''. \nNow he became more serious: \"And because of that your legs had to do more work than other kids. This is why it all happened. It could end differently, if you would be prepared better for that\". \n\n,,That makes sense...\" He expected that this might be the reason, but still his face filled up with disappointment and sadness.\n\n,,I can train you if you want\" the teacher proposed.\n\nAt first he was happy but after a while his face fell again and he replied : ,,I'm afraid that I'll have to reject the offer. I actually don't like running. But thank you very much for the proposal...\" He felt bad for replying like this. For him it looked weird, why someone who ended with such good results, rejected offers that could make him better. But the fox also promised Levi that he would not do anything against himself.\n\nThe panther looked a bit disappointed but he said: ,,I completely understand you. Although I'm not going to leave you without any prizes. You will receive two grades for today\"\n\nTom gazed up and spoke: ,,I don't know how to thank!\" That clearly cheered him up.\n\n,,Don't need to, you deserve it\" Panther just laughed and then he asked: ,,Did you packed up? I need to close the doors around\" \n\n,,Yes we do\" Levi replied for both.\n\nCubs took their bags and all three exited the room. Friends said goodbye to the teacher and left the gym. They went through the outside open space and through school. Young canines landed in the park in front of the building. They were slowly walking to the bus station when Levi spoke:\n\n,,Looks like your first day was pretty successful, didn't it?\" \n\n,,More than that! I'm in a great class, got good grades and I have a friend! Couldn't be better!\" He almost yelled from happiness.\n\nThe bigger canine laughed: ,,You're right, couldn't be\". They took some more steps when Levi asked, \"Would you like to exchange numbers?\"\n\nFox immediately took out his phone and said ,,Of course\"\n\nThey gave each other their phones and both wrote their number with names. Shortly after they gave back their phones.\n\n,,Awesome\" Levi said.\n\n,,Awesome\" tom repeated and both laughed. \n\nWhen they finished laughing, Levi told:  ,,Ok let's go to the bus station\", both furs started to wander. \n\nThe bus station was mostly empty, only with a couple of other furs. The older canine checked the schedule and spoke: ,,Well, we are punctual, in three minutes your bus will come\".\n\n,,Mine? You're not going with me?\" The fox was confused.\n\n,,I'm living very close to the school\" he replied.\n\n,,Oh, good for you!\" Thomas smiled, but deeply inside was quite sad. He wanted to talk more with his new friend on the way home.\n\n,,So, see you tomorrow\" Levi spoke, doing tiny steps back.\n\n,,Yup, see ya\" the fox said back.\n\nTom sat on the bench, and took his phone along with earphones to listen to some music. Shortly the bus arrived and the red fur sat on the closest seat. Sitting there he was thinking about the whole day with a smile. That was surely a magnificent way to start in a new school. He still couldn't understand why Levi gave him so much attention. He thought that perhaps he is just a warm person, or maybe it was because of Thomas itself? He felt strange about it.\n\nAfter around 15 minutes, Tom was already on his street. He walked to his home, admiring the peaceful surroundings around him. From far away he could see that there was no car on his house driveway. The kid thought that for a while he will be alone, knowing that his sister shouldn't be home yet. When Tom reached his front door, he tried to open them but they were shut. The fox took out his keys from the backpack and unlocked them.\n\nFirstly after entering, he took off his shoes and placed them close to the wall. Afterwards Tom went to his room. Cub dropped his backpack and stood for a moment. He had to decide what to do next. Thomas was a little hungry, but he also wanted to take a shower, because of the sweat that left after running. After conferring with himself, the choice was made in favour of the shower. \n\nThe fox stepped into the bathroom, lightening the room up. He ran the water and started to undress. He got rid of the  hoodie and t-shirt, then he unbelted his jens, dropping them down along with underwear. He sighed when he gazed at the bandage around his knee.\n[i]You are going to bother me, didn't you?[/i] -he thought. \n\nThomas decided to sat on the floor to have easier access to the dressing. His body shivered when his butt touched the cold floor, but he got used to it after a moment. Carefully he unwrapped the bandage, reviling the wound. It wasn't looking as bad as it was before. He wanted to use the dressing again after showering, but it was too dirty for him.\n\nTom stood up on his feet to open the closet that was placed close to the sink. Attempts to find a new dressing have failed. \nCub knows that in the lower bathroom he should find a new one. He looked at himself in the mirror and thought in mind:  [i]I'm alone, no one will see me naked.[/i]\n\nA little excited he started to walk through the up hall and down the stairs, ending at the bathroom door. He opened them, firstly turning the lights on, then stepping to the closet that was also in the same spot as his own upstairs. After searching for a moment, Tom successfully finds it. With the prize in paws he returned to his bathroom. He placed a bandage next to the used one and Tom again looked into the mirror.\n\nThomas was small, but his body didn't look bad. He was skinny but not too much. With some daily workouts he could make a good shape, but he never wanted to spend his time on this. His fur was mostly red. Belly was white, One of the ears completely black and the second only in half. His tail was red with only black tip. The brown color was spread from each paw to almost halfway down each limb.\n\nHe was Admiring himself for a moment, but something suddenly took all attention. Out of his shaft was peaking a red tip. Tom gazed down at his groin with curiosity. The fox decided to touch it and in that moment a feeling like a bolt ran through his body. That was weird but pleased feeling for him. He wanted to experiment with it more, but water was running for quite a bit so he decided to not waste more of her.\n\nThe fox washed himself thoroughly, carefully when he got to the wound.\nAfter washing, he dried himself out and put fresh dressing around his knee. Afterwards Tom exited the room, walking straight to the wardrobe to take new boxers and clothes. Now he had time for himself, until someone appears.\n\nCub was watching something on his phone to kill time. That wasn't the best way to achieve it and he knew that. Tom thanks to this could cut out from the world after an exhausting day.\n\nAbout an hour later, finally to his ears came the sound of opening front doors. He immediately jumped from the bed and ran down the stairs, skipping some stairs in the meantime. \n\n,,MAX!\" he yelled when he saw his sister in the hall.\n\n,,Ooh, what a welcome\" she replied, taking off her shoes at the same time.\n\nMomentarily after her words a happy wagging red fox stuck to her middle part in a strong clinch. That shocked a feminine fox: ,,Wow easy, you acting like you haven't seen me for months\". \n\nThomas looked up and asked: ,,And how it was?\".\n\nShe gazed down at him and replied: ,,There is a more important question. How was your day?\"\n\nConfused Tom took a step back and said:  ,,I asked the question first\"\n\n,,But I'm older here, so you should listen to me\" she teased him.\n\nTom irritated said: ,,This is unfair!\", he almost yelled and his sister laughed in response.\n\nMax lowered herself and grabbed her brother by his legs and his back. She lifted him up, which wasn't too hard for her because Tom didn't weigh that much. This sudden move caused the younger canine to yell:  \"WOU\". Then she noticed a bandage on hus right knee. \n\nMax was worried by what she saw, and she asked:  ,,What happened to you?\" She gazed at Tom with a serious expression. \n\nThe kid grinned and replied: ,,You wouldn't believe how good my day was\".\n\nHer brother's words intrigued Max. She slowly walks to the couch in the living room and gently placing her brother. Max sat next to Tom and spoke: ,,It looks like your day was way more interesting than mine, so tell me about everything.\" \n\nHe just rolled his eyes and responded: ,,Fine\". Male fox was lying with head stuck to his sister tight, when he started talking: ,,So, when you left me, I was standing in the same place, not knowing what to do. I was... too afraid to get into the classroom. And then someone bumped into me, knocking me down\" his speech was suddenly interrupted by the laugh of his sister.  ,, What's that funny? That was pathetic...\" he felt a little bit embarrassed.\n\n,,Well you're right, it was\" she agreed with him still laughing.\n\nTom got up from the couch and said angrily: ,, Oh is that so? Well, then the rest of the story you need to tell by yourself. I'm out\".\n\nHe wanted to go but Max grabbed his tail and responded: ,, Ok, ok, I'm sorry I will not interrupt you or laugh anymore. Continue please\" she felt very guilty after what she had done. \n\nTom sighed and turned back to the sofa lying down in the same spot as before. He continued: ,,So, when I looked up I could see a creamy Husky at my age. It turned out that he was actually going to the same class as me and his name is Levi. He decided to help me a bit. Then I had some other lessons where between them I met his best friend Oliver. On the lunch break Levi introduced me to his three other friends! Matthew, Luke and...emmm Benjamin! They told some more about themselves, but this is not important now. After the meal we moved with Levi and Oliver on the PE . I came across a not-so-pleasant activity for me, because we were running. I was in the last group so I had to wait a bit. So, my time finally came. I started ok but later I was passing others like a supercar on the highway! Unfortunately after around 2/3 of the distance, my legs started to dying slowly. I managed to cross the finish line, but when I tried to slow down my legs just cut out and I fell to the ground.\" Tom stopped for a moment to change his position. \n\nNow he was sitting on the couch with his side resting on the back of the sofa. His legs were one on another, faced in the same direction with his tail on top of them. Now he was ready to talk again:\n\n  ,,After that, I felt embarrassed, knowing that everyone saw me falling. I tried to get up but I couldn't do anything. In the meantime, students from my class started to form a circle around me. Then I heard Levi's voice asking if I'm ok. I don't even remember if I responded to him. On the other side was standing my PE teacher, thinking what to do with me. Finally he ordered others to take me to the infirmary. Levi and Oliver took me there. When we got In front of the nurse office Oliver left us. Levi however wanted to stay with me, and I agreed\" Tom stopped talking. \n\nNow in his mind he had all what happened in the nurse office. Cub didn't know if he wanted to share this with his sister. All that happened there was strange for him. Or maybe it shouldn't be? Levi just wanted to help. His contemplation got interrupted by his sister: ,,Are you alright? You stopped weirdly...\"\nTom headed back to reality and responded: ,,Yes yes I'm good\". \n\nTom breathed in and out before he spoke again: ,, So... After the visit in the infirmary, we exited the school. In the park that we watched at the beginning of the day, me and lavi exchanged numbers. After that we went in our own ways. And that was my day\".\n\n,,You see? I told you that you wouldn't have any problems!\"\n\n,,Yes you were right...\" Then the fox reminds that he hasn't said everything yet. ,,Ouu I almost forgot. I will receive two grades for that run and with Levi we actually became friends!\" He said it full of excitement.\n\nMax just hugged her brother tightly and  said: ,,I'm very proud of you my little goofball\". They were cuddling for a moment when suddenly Thomas broke up: ,,And how was your day?\"\n\n,,Well... nothing special. I talk with some people to broaden horizons and show myself a bit.  I haven't found out about anything valid. My class is.... Ok. Summing, that was alright the first day.\" Unlike her brother she wasn't really excited. ,,I was actually wondering the whole day why you haven't called me or you didn't try to find me. Now I understand why\" she smiled. \n\n,,Well as you can see I was quite busy\" both laughed.\n\nAfter a moment later Max asked Thomas: ,,Are you hungry? I don't know when our parents will come..\"\n\n,,Emm maybe a bit\" he showed a half-half sign by his paw.\n\nShe turned her head to the kitchen and the vixen said: ,,You know what? I will prepare something for us. What do you think?\"\n\n,,I think I'll eat everything you prepare\" he grinned with closed eyes.\n\nMax booped his nose and replied: ,,Great. You can go upstairs, I will call you when I finish\". Both foxes went to their directions.\n\nWhen Tom reached his room, he laid on his bed and started watching something on his phone. After around 30 minutes Max called him and the younger fox came to her. On the table was creamy pasta with broccoli waiting for him. Thomas likes pasta in any form, so he was pleased to eat.\n\nBoth finished almost at the same time. Young vixen took plates to clean them and In the meantime she asked Thomas: ,,Do you have any plans for the rest of the day?\"\n\nThe younger one thought for a moment and replied: ,,Well, I'm thinking about taking a long nap. I'm exhausted a bit\" he yawned.\n\n,,Yup you surely need it\" she giggled.\n\n,,And you?\" Tom this time asked.\n\n,,I will do my homework first and then we will see. You don't have any homework?\"\n\n,,I don't think so\". In fact he didn't even know.\n\n,,Well, then have a pleasant nap Tommy\" a female canine said.\n\n,,Thank you and good luck to you\" Tom replied, moving himself out of the seat and walking to his bedroom.\n\nCub didn't set an alarm because he was curious how long he would sleep. Tom laid on the bed and fell into the dreamlands...\n\n\n\n\nThomas woke up with the sun still illuminating his room. He reached for his phone and it was one and half an hour later at this point. The young fox slid out the bed and walked out of his room. Outside he could hear a working TV, so he went down the stairs to see his father on the coach. The cub was thirsty so he wandered to the kitchen to take a cup of tap water. When he turned the water on, from behind his dad said: ,,Tommy you finally woke up! Come here\" his enthusiasm was clearly heard.\n\n,,I will be right away!\" Tom replied. \n\nHe drank the water and came to his dad. Older canine patted a place for invitation. A young male accepted and sat leaning on his shoulder.\n\nFather cleaned his throat and spoke: ,,I came home wondering how my kids' day was. I went to your room but you were sleeping, so I visited your sister. We talked a bit about her day and when I asked about you, she only grinned and advised me to wait until you wake up. Honestly at this point I was so curious that I wanted to wake you up by myself, but I let you sleep. And now you are coming here with a bandage around your knee and I don't understand anything. So how was your day Tommy?\"\n\nTom sighed slightly, closing his eyes and replied: ,,Was better than I could ever expect dad\"\n\n,, Awesome! But why if I can ask?\" The older canine was confused but also curious about the answer.\n\n,,Well, if you need to know\" tom sat deeply into his father and started talking: ,,I will focus on the most important things that happened today. So first such a thing is that I found a friend!\" Tom shouted last words.\n\n,,What a good news son!\" His dad hugged him. But his curiosity wasn't completely dispelled: ,,I'm assuming that is not all, did it?\" He asked, pointing at the kid's injured leg.\n\n,,Oh this. Well this is another success\" \n\nIt only confused his father more: ,,How is that?\"\n\nTom chuckled and explained: ,,I had PE today where we had to run. I was facing bigger and stronger rivals. But you know what? I won in my group, ending second in the class! But unfortunately, without sacrifice there is no victory. After I ran out the finish line, I fell on the ground. All because I used my legs maximally. But the teacher prized me by two grades for this!\"\n\nThe older fox laughed like typical proud father and shouted: ,,Hurray! I'm very happy of you! I think I aldo need to reward you somehow.\" Dad was thinking for a second when he said: ,,Maybe today you will choose what we will eat for dinner?\"\n\nThe kid just cuddled his dad and said: ,,Thank you dad. But where is mom?\"\n\n,,I'm here!\"\n\nThomas turned to the direction where the voice came. His mother was standing on the stairs. Her arms were resting on the balustrade, with a good view on both males.\n\n,,Mom!\" He yelled and ran to his mother, tightening to her.\n\n,,I am very happy with your achievements today\" his mother said to her son.\n\nVixen broke the hug, lowering herself to be face to face with the kid: ,,As you can see fear has big eyes. This morning you were scared like never before, and you see how well it ended? Remember Tommy, never let the fear eat you from inside anymore.\"\n\nThat speech made the kid tear up, and again hugged his mother. \n,,I love you\" he said between tears.\n\nIt lasts a moment until the younger fox calms down, but when he did, his mother  asks him: ,,So, what's this Levi like?\"\n\nTom had to think about how to describe him. Then he said: ,,He is... very friendly, caring, affectionate...\" He sighed and added: ,,He is just a kind person mom...\"\n\nThomas felt weird after what he said. His stomach was tingling and his body heated up. That wasn't anything new for him because he already felt it all today.\n\n,,looks like you found an amazing friend Tommy!\" his mother smiled at him.\n\n,,Yes he is... Can I go upstairs now?\" he asked with a slightly trembling voice.\n\nVixen noticed strange, unusual behaviour. She wanted to ask him \"what is wrong?\" but instead, the mother moved from his way and said: ,,Of course, go\". \n\nShe didn't know if that was the right decision. All she knew for sure was that Tom was embarrassed, so questions wouldn't help him.\n\nTom went up and inside his room. He laid on the bed, with his heart beating faster than normal. The fox started thinking:\n[i]Why do I feel like that?  Why is it always happening when I think about him? What's wrong with me?[/i]\n\nThomas was too overwhelmed by all of the questions in his mind, that he couldn't answer. He wanted to run into the forest and shouted out everything that was on his mind. \n\nAfter a while of lying there and fighting himself, he moved to his desk, turning on his laptop. He thought that maybe drowning into the virtual world would help him. It didn't take long for his idea to work.\n\nTime passed and with him the sun started to disappear slowly. In the meantime his dad came and asked what he wanted to eat tonight. Without any surprises, Tom choose pizza, considering that such a food hardly ever appears on their table. Shortly after the food arrived and the family ate together. \n\nTom with a full stomach headed back to his room. Outside was already dark, and it means for him that sleeping time is coming. Nevertheless, he returned to what he was doing before.\n\nWith time Thomas started to feel more tired. On the clock it was already 9:30 p.m. so Tom decided that he had enough entertainment for today. The young canine closed his laptop and headed to the bathroom. Even if he already washed himself twice today, but this time the kid wanted to take a warm shower to relax a bit. Before that he brushed his teeth and took a pee. \n\nA relaxed and happy fox headed back to his bedroom. The day, full of different emotions was finally ending, but he still had one thing to do. Thomas knelt down by the bed and pulled out a thick notebook from underneath it. In fact it was his diary, that he kept for years. Tom didn't lie when he said that sometimes he draws and writes. \n\nHis diary was full of appropriately marked days, decorated by sketches or even full drawings. All his success, failures, happy and sad moments were there. That was his second mind that he could come back every time he wanted.\n\nThomas got up and sat on the bed. He took pencils into his paw and started writing:\n[b]\"Dear diary, today was my first day in a new school. I started badly, but later everything  turned out well. The most important thing is that I found a friend. That was what I wanted the most after I came here. His name is Levi and he is a creamy-white husky, probably older than me. He is a very kind and caring person. For some reason Levi gave me a lot of attention. And...\"[/b]   Cub stopped there. He started contemplating all the husky behaviours, and how Tom himself felt about them. After a long sigh Tom close the sentence:\n[b]\"I think that I liked it. Maybe even a lot....\"[/b]\nThomas was looking for a moment on the last words he wrote. He wanted to forget about husky hours ago and now his mind was again filled up by thoughts\n\nHis head fell down in the notebook when he asked his diary: ,,There is nothing I can do about it, didn't I?\". \nThe cub closed his eyes, to see a smiling creamy husky looking directly at him. The fox likes this view. Tom opened his eyes, straightened his posture and started to draw what he saw. Unlike other drawings, this time he put more effort into it. Every line and stroke was carefully thought out and precise. Tom looked at the final result and said: ,,Tell me, what you have done to me Levi?\"\n\nThomas sighing closed his diary and slipped him back under the bed. He threw himself on top and fell into a deep sleep....", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Right away Levi and Oliver grabbed Tom and put him on his feet. He still couldn't walk by himself, so he rested his arms on both canines and they started walking towards the school.

It didn't take long for someone to speak: ,,What happened to you? Did you faint or something?" Levi started asking, simply worried about the battered fox.

,,My legs just cut down. They weren't prepared for it... " he replied, embarrassed and sad at the same time.

,,Screw it Tom, you were extremely fast! I didn't expect you to run like that." Oliver butted in. He was full of admiration.

,,But at what cost.." Levi replied to his friend  from the second side.

,,Ahrr come on man, he will be fine. Stop worrying that much about him. Such things happen all the time" the grey wolf tried to calm down both furs. Levi just sighed in reply.

Wolf turned his head to the fox and spoke: ,,You will be in the top three for sure. You overcome Marcus that is always first or second placed!" Oliver almost shouted it out. He looked really proud and happy of the fox now.

Tom's facial expression changed from dejected to rich excited: ,, Seriously?" he asked, turning his sight on the wolf.

,,Yes men, you were great. But now let's take care of you" Oli cut their conversation noticing that they were close to the door of the building.

Tom already had more control in his legs but he still needed support from his classmates. The infirmary was on the ground floor close to the main entrance. When they finally reached it, Oliver decided to go back to the class. He first wished the fox return to full health and then they said goodbye to each other. Levi decided to stay with Thomas, at least to help him get into the infirmary. Husky knocked on the door.

,,Come in" feminine voice replied to knocking.

He opened the door and said:  ,,Good morning Ms.Kelly, I have a patient"

,,Oh, let him sit on the bed, I will come in a second" she said from behind the monitor.
Levi did what she ordered.

Husky stood in front of Tom, with right paw holding his left wrist when he spoke: ,,Well... I will go too. So, I hope you will come back to your full strength. By Thomas" he waved to the fox and headed to the doors.

Tom felt weird that after a whole day around Levi, now he will be left alone. He just couldn't let this happen, so he decided to stop the leaving canine: ,,Wait! You can stay, if you want"

The cream canine stopped in front of the door. He stood there for a moment, when suddenly he spun around, looking at the fox Levi said:  ,,I can.. Yes, yes of course I want!" he looked very happy by the Tom proposal. His tail wagged heavily and he himself was smiling widely.

Seems like being around the fox makes him very cheerful. Tom wonders why, because  they still didn't know each other. So what was the reason? Fox had no idea how to ask him about this, so he hoped that the answer would come by itself.

Levi took a seat on the Tom side and asked him:  ,,How are you feeling now?"

,,Well I'm definitely better. Still my legs are a bit numb, but in a moment i should walk by myself." Fox replied looking and touching his down limbs.

Then the husky looked on the ground in front of himself. His smile turned sad and in a low sorrowful tone he said:  ,,You fell so....so....helplessly. Why did you put so much effort into it?" He looked gloomy at the fox.

Tom sighed and started thinking loudly:  ,,I don't know.... That wasn't to show off. Well....Maybe exactly for this? To show that this little fox also can...ehh"  Fox felt stupid at this point. He couldn't decide what was more embarrassing for him. That he wanted to be someone that he really wasn't or how it all ended.

Levi put his paw on Tom's shoulder and said: ,,You dummy. This is the wrong way you choose. Just be yourself!" Canine shook Tom lightly.

Thomas slightly laughed and replied: ,,Ye..you are right. I will not be doing such a thing anymore. I promise." Tom appreciates his criticism. That was important that someone straight told him this

Levi took his paw back. Now he had them together on his thighs. He looked at them and shyly started speaking: ,,Tom can I ask...." Someone interrupted him.

,,Ok, let's see what's going on with you." The nurse said, getting up from her chair and moving to the cubs. A female Golden retriever started to investigate the fox.

,,I see that you scrapped your knee quite hard, let's take care of it." She said, reaching for disinfection liquid and bandages. With both products in paws she crouched down in front of Tom's injured leg.

Before the nurse started to disinfect the wound, she looked up at Thomas and warned him: ,,It will hurt, so prepare yourself for this"

Tommy wasn't happy by what he heard and his face was telling this. Levi noticed that, so he grabbed a fox paw and said: ,,Hold my paw, you can even squish if you need it. Hope it will help you somehow...". He blushed a bit when Tom slightly tightened his paw and said: ,,Thank you". Tommy also blushed lightly after this.

The nurse started to pour liquid on the wound, making the fox scream and squishing the paw offered before. Screaming gradually became quiet, changing to some tears running off his cheek. Levi by his other paw wiped them out. Thomas looked at the shyly looking husky and said: ,,Thank you very much". Levi responded with a smile.

A golden retriever cleaned around the wound from blood and she bandaged his knee after that.

The nurse got up and spoke: ,,Done, are you able to walk? I heard from your conversation the reason why you came here"

Both cubs felt strange, because they thought that she didn't listen to them.

,,I will try" Tom replied to her.

Cub realised that he was still holding Levi's paw, so he released her from his grip. He gazed embarrassed at the husky and in low tone spoke: ,,I'm sorry...If-if you feel uncomfortable because of me." . Unexpectedly Creamy husky grabbed Tom's paw again. The fox was confused by this move.

  ,,I will help you stand up" Levi said and at the same time stood up from the bed.

,,Uhm, thanks" Tom said with an unsure smile but deeply, he was glad for this.

They tried, and Thomas could walk but his lower limbs felt heavy. Nonetheless it was enough for him to move on his own.

,,Ok I will be alright", fox showed thumbs up.

,,Fantastic. Do u need anything else?" A female canine asked from Tommy's side.

The fox looked at her and responded: ,,No, I will go now. Thank you for taking care of me"

,,My pleasure!" She said back.

Both canine exited the infirmary waving paws to the nurse for goodbye. Levi took out his phone to check the time. Classes were already over for them so he decided to go straight to the gym for their things.

On the way the fox started contemplating about all what happened in the past hour. He felt safe with a creamy husky on his side, and he knew that Levi felt maybe even better with him around. Cub also wonders if Levi is looking for physical contacts with his friends. It was clearly visible for Tom that he liked such interactions. They haven't talked on the way, both seemed lost in thoughts.

Finally they reached the destination. No one was inside anymore, so they just went straight to their lockers. They started changing to casual clothes. The older canine finished first. He wanted to ask Tommy for something so he waited until the smaller classmate finished. When Tom finally did, Levi spoke.

,,I wanted to ask you something but Ms.Kelly interrupted me..." He stood shyly holding his left elbow by another paw.

,,Yup, what's up?"

A cream canine took a big breath and released him before he started speaking: ,,So emm...we spent a lot of time today and.... I feel good around you. So, do you want to be my..." Canine hesitated with the last word. He shyly looked at the fox that was full of curiosity and hopefulness: ,,To be my friend?" He said it in a low voice.

Tommy's tail instantly started wagging and he grinned like never before: ,,Of course I do! You were with me for the whole day, leading me and caring for me. Who Im to say no after what have you done for me?". He felt how his body heats up after his speech but Tom continued: ,,When I came here the only thing that matters for me was to find anyone to at least talk. And i found you. I still can't believe my luck!"

Husky stood there speechless, blushing more than ever before. Without hesitation he ran to the fox and hugged him tightly.

Thomas was surprised by his new friend's reaction, but Tom also tightened him. For some reason his heart skipped a beat at that moment. He could feel how Levi's heart was racing, or maybe it was his own? He couldn't say, but for sure all of this was enjoyable for him. Their cuddling lasted for a while, when suddenly Levi broke the hug. Now they were looking into their eyes.

,,I'm also incredibly happy that we met each other!" Levi said excitedly holding both foxes shoulders.

Suddenly the room filled up by the sound of opening doors. Both boys automatically took a step back reaching for their things.

After a while someone from behind spoke to them: ,,Ouu, I didn't expect anyone here" the PE teacher said a bit shocked. He smiled when he realized who they were: ,,That's you guys. Is everything fine with your legs kid?" He asked, directly looking at the fox.

,,It seems that, they still feel a bit heavy but i will stretch them out soon" kid replied.

The black cat came closer to the young furs and said: ,,You sacrificed yourself, but thanks to this you were second placed with 59 seconds, only one second behind 1st place. Congratulations!" he looked impressed.

,,That's awesome Tom!" Levi yelled.

Thomas stood frozen there. Despite that Oliver said, that most likely he should be high in the table, Tom still was shocked by the news. Finally he found himself to speak ,,I'm surprised by myself, I didn't expect that I might be as good! ".

The teacher just laughed and said: ,,And you were the smallest out of them''.
Now he became more serious: "And because of that your legs had to do more work than other kids. This is why it all happened. It could end differently, if you would be prepared better for that".

,,That makes sense..." He expected that this might be the reason, but still his face filled up with disappointment and sadness.

,,I can train you if you want" the teacher proposed.

At first he was happy but after a while his face fell again and he replied : ,,I'm afraid that I'll have to reject the offer. I actually don't like running. But thank you very much for the proposal..." He felt bad for replying like this. For him it looked weird, why someone who ended with such good results, rejected offers that could make him better. But the fox also promised Levi that he would not do anything against himself.

The panther looked a bit disappointed but he said: ,,I completely understand you. Although I'm not going to leave you without any prizes. You will receive two grades for today"

Tom gazed up and spoke: ,,I don't know how to thank!" That clearly cheered him up.

,,Don't need to, you deserve it" Panther just laughed and then he asked: ,,Did you packed up? I need to close the doors around"

,,Yes we do" Levi replied for both.

Cubs took their bags and all three exited the room. Friends said goodbye to the teacher and left the gym. They went through the outside open space and through school. Young canines landed in the park in front of the building. They were slowly walking to the bus station when Levi spoke:

,,Looks like your first day was pretty successful, didn't it?"

,,More than that! I'm in a great class, got good grades and I have a friend! Couldn't be better!" He almost yelled from happiness.

The bigger canine laughed: ,,You're right, couldn't be". They took some more steps when Levi asked, "Would you like to exchange numbers?"

Fox immediately took out his phone and said ,,Of course"

They gave each other their phones and both wrote their number with names. Shortly after they gave back their phones.

,,Awesome" Levi said.

,,Awesome" tom repeated and both laughed.

When they finished laughing, Levi told:  ,,Ok let's go to the bus station", both furs started to wander.

The bus station was mostly empty, only with a couple of other furs. The older canine checked the schedule and spoke: ,,Well, we are punctual, in three minutes your bus will come".

,,Mine? You're not going with me?" The fox was confused.

,,I'm living very close to the school" he replied.

,,Oh, good for you!" Thomas smiled, but deeply inside was quite sad. He wanted to talk more with his new friend on the way home.

,,So, see you tomorrow" Levi spoke, doing tiny steps back.

,,Yup, see ya" the fox said back.

Tom sat on the bench, and took his phone along with earphones to listen to some music. Shortly the bus arrived and the red fur sat on the closest seat. Sitting there he was thinking about the whole day with a smile. That was surely a magnificent way to start in a new school. He still couldn't understand why Levi gave him so much attention. He thought that perhaps he is just a warm person, or maybe it was because of Thomas itself? He felt strange about it.

After around 15 minutes, Tom was already on his street. He walked to his home, admiring the peaceful surroundings around him. From far away he could see that there was no car on his house driveway. The kid thought that for a while he will be alone, knowing that his sister shouldn't be home yet. When Tom reached his front door, he tried to open them but they were shut. The fox took out his keys from the backpack and unlocked them.

Firstly after entering, he took off his shoes and placed them close to the wall. Afterwards Tom went to his room. Cub dropped his backpack and stood for a moment. He had to decide what to do next. Thomas was a little hungry, but he also wanted to take a shower, because of the sweat that left after running. After conferring with himself, the choice was made in favour of the shower.

The fox stepped into the bathroom, lightening the room up. He ran the water and started to undress. He got rid of the  hoodie and t-shirt, then he unbelted his jens, dropping them down along with underwear. He sighed when he gazed at the bandage around his knee.
You are going to bother me, didn't you? -he thought.

Thomas decided to sat on the floor to have easier access to the dressing. His body shivered when his butt touched the cold floor, but he got used to it after a moment. Carefully he unwrapped the bandage, reviling the wound. It wasn't looking as bad as it was before. He wanted to use the dressing again after showering, but it was too dirty for him.

Tom stood up on his feet to open the closet that was placed close to the sink. Attempts to find a new dressing have failed.
Cub knows that in the lower bathroom he should find a new one. He looked at himself in the mirror and thought in mind:  I'm alone, no one will see me naked.

A little excited he started to walk through the up hall and down the stairs, ending at the bathroom door. He opened them, firstly turning the lights on, then stepping to the closet that was also in the same spot as his own upstairs. After searching for a moment, Tom successfully finds it. With the prize in paws he returned to his bathroom. He placed a bandage next to the used one and Tom again looked into the mirror.

Thomas was small, but his body didn't look bad. He was skinny but not too much. With some daily workouts he could make a good shape, but he never wanted to spend his time on this. His fur was mostly red. Belly was white, One of the ears completely black and the second only in half. His tail was red with only black tip. The brown color was spread from each paw to almost halfway down each limb.

He was Admiring himself for a moment, but something suddenly took all attention. Out of his shaft was peaking a red tip. Tom gazed down at his groin with curiosity. The fox decided to touch it and in that moment a feeling like a bolt ran through his body. That was weird but pleased feeling for him. He wanted to experiment with it more, but water was running for quite a bit so he decided to not waste more of her.

The fox washed himself thoroughly, carefully when he got to the wound.
After washing, he dried himself out and put fresh dressing around his knee. Afterwards Tom exited the room, walking straight to the wardrobe to take new boxers and clothes. Now he had time for himself, until someone appears.

Cub was watching something on his phone to kill time. That wasn't the best way to achieve it and he knew that. Tom thanks to this could cut out from the world after an exhausting day.

About an hour later, finally to his ears came the sound of opening front doors. He immediately jumped from the bed and ran down the stairs, skipping some stairs in the meantime.

,,MAX!" he yelled when he saw his sister in the hall.

,,Ooh, what a welcome" she replied, taking off her shoes at the same time.

Momentarily after her words a happy wagging red fox stuck to her middle part in a strong clinch. That shocked a feminine fox: ,,Wow easy, you acting like you haven't seen me for months".

Thomas looked up and asked: ,,And how it was?".

She gazed down at him and replied: ,,There is a more important question. How was your day?"

Confused Tom took a step back and said:  ,,I asked the question first"

,,But I'm older here, so you should listen to me" she teased him.

Tom irritated said: ,,This is unfair!", he almost yelled and his sister laughed in response.

Max lowered herself and grabbed her brother by his legs and his back. She lifted him up, which wasn't too hard for her because Tom didn't weigh that much. This sudden move caused the younger canine to yell:  "WOU". Then she noticed a bandage on hus right knee.

Max was worried by what she saw, and she asked:  ,,What happened to you?" She gazed at Tom with a serious expression.

The kid grinned and replied: ,,You wouldn't believe how good my day was".

Her brother's words intrigued Max. She slowly walks to the couch in the living room and gently placing her brother. Max sat next to Tom and spoke: ,,It looks like your day was way more interesting than mine, so tell me about everything." 

He just rolled his eyes and responded: ,,Fine". Male fox was lying with head stuck to his sister tight, when he started talking: ,,So, when you left me, I was standing in the same place, not knowing what to do. I was... too afraid to get into the classroom. And then someone bumped into me, knocking me down" his speech was suddenly interrupted by the laugh of his sister.  ,, What's that funny? That was pathetic..." he felt a little bit embarrassed.

,,Well you're right, it was" she agreed with him still laughing.

Tom got up from the couch and said angrily: ,, Oh is that so? Well, then the rest of the story you need to tell by yourself. I'm out".

He wanted to go but Max grabbed his tail and responded: ,, Ok, ok, I'm sorry I will not interrupt you or laugh anymore. Continue please" she felt very guilty after what she had done.

Tom sighed and turned back to the sofa lying down in the same spot as before. He continued: ,,So, when I looked up I could see a creamy Husky at my age. It turned out that he was actually going to the same class as me and his name is Levi. He decided to help me a bit. Then I had some other lessons where between them I met his best friend Oliver. On the lunch break Levi introduced me to his three other friends! Matthew, Luke and...emmm Benjamin! They told some more about themselves, but this is not important now. After the meal we moved with Levi and Oliver on the PE . I came across a not-so-pleasant activity for me, because we were running. I was in the last group so I had to wait a bit. So, my time finally came. I started ok but later I was passing others like a supercar on the highway! Unfortunately after around 2/3 of the distance, my legs started to dying slowly. I managed to cross the finish line, but when I tried to slow down my legs just cut out and I fell to the ground." Tom stopped for a moment to change his position.

Now he was sitting on the couch with his side resting on the back of the sofa. His legs were one on another, faced in the same direction with his tail on top of them. Now he was ready to talk again:

  ,,After that, I felt embarrassed, knowing that everyone saw me falling. I tried to get up but I couldn't do anything. In the meantime, students from my class started to form a circle around me. Then I heard Levi's voice asking if I'm ok. I don't even remember if I responded to him. On the other side was standing my PE teacher, thinking what to do with me. Finally he ordered others to take me to the infirmary. Levi and Oliver took me there. When we got In front of the nurse office Oliver left us. Levi however wanted to stay with me, and I agreed" Tom stopped talking.

Now in his mind he had all what happened in the nurse office. Cub didn't know if he wanted to share this with his sister. All that happened there was strange for him. Or maybe it shouldn't be? Levi just wanted to help. His contemplation got interrupted by his sister: ,,Are you alright? You stopped weirdly..."
Tom headed back to reality and responded: ,,Yes yes I'm good".

Tom breathed in and out before he spoke again: ,, So... After the visit in the infirmary, we exited the school. In the park that we watched at the beginning of the day, me and lavi exchanged numbers. After that we went in our own ways. And that was my day".

,,You see? I told you that you wouldn't have any problems!"

,,Yes you were right..." Then the fox reminds that he hasn't said everything yet. ,,Ouu I almost forgot. I will receive two grades for that run and with Levi we actually became friends!" He said it full of excitement.

Max just hugged her brother tightly and  said: ,,I'm very proud of you my little goofball". They were cuddling for a moment when suddenly Thomas broke up: ,,And how was your day?"

,,Well... nothing special. I talk with some people to broaden horizons and show myself a bit.  I haven't found out about anything valid. My class is.... Ok. Summing, that was alright the first day." Unlike her brother she wasn't really excited. ,,I was actually wondering the whole day why you haven't called me or you didn't try to find me. Now I understand why" she smiled.

,,Well as you can see I was quite busy" both laughed.

After a moment later Max asked Thomas: ,,Are you hungry? I don't know when our parents will come.."

,,Emm maybe a bit" he showed a half-half sign by his paw.

She turned her head to the kitchen and the vixen said: ,,You know what? I will prepare something for us. What do you think?"

,,I think I'll eat everything you prepare" he grinned with closed eyes.

Max booped his nose and replied: ,,Great. You can go upstairs, I will call you when I finish". Both foxes went to their directions.

When Tom reached his room, he laid on his bed and started watching something on his phone. After around 30 minutes Max called him and the younger fox came to her. On the table was creamy pasta with broccoli waiting for him. Thomas likes pasta in any form, so he was pleased to eat.

Both finished almost at the same time. Young vixen took plates to clean them and In the meantime she asked Thomas: ,,Do you have any plans for the rest of the day?"

The younger one thought for a moment and replied: ,,Well, I'm thinking about taking a long nap. I'm exhausted a bit" he yawned.

,,Yup you surely need it" she giggled.

,,And you?" Tom this time asked.

,,I will do my homework first and then we will see. You don't have any homework?"

,,I don't think so". In fact he didn't even know.

,,Well, then have a pleasant nap Tommy" a female canine said.

,,Thank you and good luck to you" Tom replied, moving himself out of the seat and walking to his bedroom.

Cub didn't set an alarm because he was curious how long he would sleep. Tom laid on the bed and fell into the dreamlands...




Thomas woke up with the sun still illuminating his room. He reached for his phone and it was one and half an hour later at this point. The young fox slid out the bed and walked out of his room. Outside he could hear a working TV, so he went down the stairs to see his father on the coach. The cub was thirsty so he wandered to the kitchen to take a cup of tap water. When he turned the water on, from behind his dad said: ,,Tommy you finally woke up! Come here" his enthusiasm was clearly heard.

,,I will be right away!" Tom replied.

He drank the water and came to his dad. Older canine patted a place for invitation. A young male accepted and sat leaning on his shoulder.

Father cleaned his throat and spoke: ,,I came home wondering how my kids' day was. I went to your room but you were sleeping, so I visited your sister. We talked a bit about her day and when I asked about you, she only grinned and advised me to wait until you wake up. Honestly at this point I was so curious that I wanted to wake you up by myself, but I let you sleep. And now you are coming here with a bandage around your knee and I don't understand anything. So how was your day Tommy?"

Tom sighed slightly, closing his eyes and replied: ,,Was better than I could ever expect dad"

,, Awesome! But why if I can ask?" The older canine was confused but also curious about the answer.

,,Well, if you need to know" tom sat deeply into his father and started talking: ,,I will focus on the most important things that happened today. So first such a thing is that I found a friend!" Tom shouted last words.

,,What a good news son!" His dad hugged him. But his curiosity wasn't completely dispelled: ,,I'm assuming that is not all, did it?" He asked, pointing at the kid's injured leg.

,,Oh this. Well this is another success"

It only confused his father more: ,,How is that?"

Tom chuckled and explained: ,,I had PE today where we had to run. I was facing bigger and stronger rivals. But you know what? I won in my group, ending second in the class! But unfortunately, without sacrifice there is no victory. After I ran out the finish line, I fell on the ground. All because I used my legs maximally. But the teacher prized me by two grades for this!"

The older fox laughed like typical proud father and shouted: ,,Hurray! I'm very happy of you! I think I aldo need to reward you somehow." Dad was thinking for a second when he said: ,,Maybe today you will choose what we will eat for dinner?"

The kid just cuddled his dad and said: ,,Thank you dad. But where is mom?"

,,I'm here!"

Thomas turned to the direction where the voice came. His mother was standing on the stairs. Her arms were resting on the balustrade, with a good view on both males.

,,Mom!" He yelled and ran to his mother, tightening to her.

,,I am very happy with your achievements today" his mother said to her son.

Vixen broke the hug, lowering herself to be face to face with the kid: ,,As you can see fear has big eyes. This morning you were scared like never before, and you see how well it ended? Remember Tommy, never let the fear eat you from inside anymore."

That speech made the kid tear up, and again hugged his mother.
,,I love you" he said between tears.

It lasts a moment until the younger fox calms down, but when he did, his mother  asks him: ,,So, what's this Levi like?"

Tom had to think about how to describe him. Then he said: ,,He is... very friendly, caring, affectionate..." He sighed and added: ,,He is just a kind person mom..."

Thomas felt weird after what he said. His stomach was tingling and his body heated up. That wasn't anything new for him because he already felt it all today.

,,looks like you found an amazing friend Tommy!" his mother smiled at him.

,,Yes he is... Can I go upstairs now?" he asked with a slightly trembling voice.

Vixen noticed strange, unusual behaviour. She wanted to ask him "what is wrong?" but instead, the mother moved from his way and said: ,,Of course, go". 

She didn't know if that was the right decision. All she knew for sure was that Tom was embarrassed, so questions wouldn't help him.

Tom went up and inside his room. He laid on the bed, with his heart beating faster than normal. The fox started thinking:
Why do I feel like that?  Why is it always happening when I think about him? What's wrong with me?

Thomas was too overwhelmed by all of the questions in his mind, that he couldn't answer. He wanted to run into the forest and shouted out everything that was on his mind.

After a while of lying there and fighting himself, he moved to his desk, turning on his laptop. He thought that maybe drowning into the virtual world would help him. It didn't take long for his idea to work.

Time passed and with him the sun started to disappear slowly. In the meantime his dad came and asked what he wanted to eat tonight. Without any surprises, Tom choose pizza, considering that such a food hardly ever appears on their table. Shortly after the food arrived and the family ate together.

Tom with a full stomach headed back to his room. Outside was already dark, and it means for him that sleeping time is coming. Nevertheless, he returned to what he was doing before.

With time Thomas started to feel more tired. On the clock it was already 9:30 p.m. so Tom decided that he had enough entertainment for today. The young canine closed his laptop and headed to the bathroom. Even if he already washed himself twice today, but this time the kid wanted to take a warm shower to relax a bit. Before that he brushed his teeth and took a pee.

A relaxed and happy fox headed back to his bedroom. The day, full of different emotions was finally ending, but he still had one thing to do. Thomas knelt down by the bed and pulled out a thick notebook from underneath it. In fact it was his diary, that he kept for years. Tom didn't lie when he said that sometimes he draws and writes.

His diary was full of appropriately marked days, decorated by sketches or even full drawings. All his success, failures, happy and sad moments were there. That was his second mind that he could come back every time he wanted.

Thomas got up and sat on the bed. He took pencils into his paw and started writing:
"Dear diary, today was my first day in a new school. I started badly, but later everything  turned out well. The most important thing is that I found a friend. That was what I wanted the most after I came here. His name is Levi and he is a creamy-white husky, probably older than me. He is a very kind and caring person. For some reason Levi gave me a lot of attention. And..."   Cub stopped there. He started contemplating all the husky behaviours, and how Tom himself felt about them. After a long sigh Tom close the sentence:
"I think that I liked it. Maybe even a lot...."
Thomas was looking for a moment on the last words he wrote. He wanted to forget about husky hours ago and now his mind was again filled up by thoughts

His head fell down in the notebook when he asked his diary: ,,There is nothing I can do about it, didn't I?".
The cub closed his eyes, to see a smiling creamy husky looking directly at him. The fox likes this view. Tom opened his eyes, straightened his posture and started to draw what he saw. Unlike other drawings, this time he put more effort into it. Every line and stroke was carefully thought out and precise. Tom looked at the final result and said: ,,Tell me, what you have done to me Levi?"

Thomas sighing closed his diary and slipped him back under the bed. He threw himself on top and fell into a deep sleep....", "pools_count": 1, "title": "The beginning PT.2 - Friends from first sight", "deleted": "f", "public": "t", "mimetype": "image/jpeg", "pagecount": "1", "rating_id": "2", "rating_name": "Adult", "ratings": [ { "content_tag_id": "4", "name": "Sexual Themes", "description": "Erotic imagery, sexual activity or arousal", "rating_id": "2" } ], "submission_type_id": "12", "type_name": "Writing - Document", "guest_block": "t", "friends_only": "f", "comments_count": "0", "views": "56" }
