****** Puppy Kisses and Kitten Hugs ******
by a_sad_mh_shipper
Summary
     Growing up and figuring stuff out together.
     Lots of cute stuff.
     It's a lot of discovery right now with hints of smut I think?
Notes
     Haha?
     So like there was a severe lake of cat Haru and dog Makoto so I took
     matters into my own hands.
     p.s. I think Haru would get along with Ice Bear.
***** Chapter 1 *****
Haruka had known Makoto since they were in diapers (the puppy loved to brag
about this and even carried baby pictures as proof) and there wasn't anyone
else in the world he had known as long as his best friend next door. He was
twelve going on thirteen when it happened and he knew there was only one person
he wanted to tell let alone find out what was going on. Makoto.
It was a few days before his first heat happened. It wasn't what all the kids
at school whispered about to each other nothing at all shaking and craving. It
was just a bit itchy? He felt itchy from the tips of his ears to the end of his
tail so he did the one thing he knew would make him feel better, he took a
bath. But when his bath ran longer than usual his mother went to check on him
and her eyes immediately widen at the sight of her son scratching himself
furiously.
"Haruka what's wrong?"
"I feel itchy all over."
She walked over to him and sniffed behind his ears. Her tail perked up and she
gave a small gasp.
"Oh Haruka you're in heat! But you're so young! I'll call the doctor and we'll
go as soon as I can get you an appointment."
Haruka looked over at his mother with slight worry. Was something wrong? He
felt perfectly fine minus the itching. His mother picked up on his worry and
told him everything would be okay he was just a bit of an early bloomer. If
that was all it was he could live with that besides he was taller than Makoto
so he figured going into heat earlier than anyone else was okay. Maybe he'd
also grow a little taller again with the heat who knew!
***** Chapter 2 *****
Chapter Notes
     Just cute stuff.
He wouldn't be growing much more. At least not as much as he had hoped
according to his doctor and his growth chart they were looking at. He just
hoped Makoto didn't grow more than him. His doctor told him that although his
heats had been early his ruts might take a while to kick in. Haruka was more
than fine with that as he was already dealing with his heats and that was
annoying enough as it was.
 
As he and his mother left the doctors office with heat suppressant patches his
mother turned to him.
"Haruka, I think it's time we sat down and talked about some things with you,
your father, and myself. Just so you're well informed."
"'kay but can we talk later. Makoto is coming over."
"Of course Haruka we'll talk when he leaves for dinner."
When they arrived home Makoto was already waiting in the kitchen with a glass
of lemonade Haruka's father had served him.
"Haru-chan!" the dogboy exclaimed his tail wagging happily upon seeing his best
friend.
"Drop the 'chan' Makoto. Come on." the small catboy walking quickly to his room
followed my his friend.
"Haru your dad said you went to the doctors but it wasn't anything serious."
Makoto glanced at him and Haruka knew what Makoto was really asking 'Are you
okay?'.
I'm fine Makoto I promise I just started my heats. " He replied as they sat on
his bed facing each other.
"Oh um then should I-"
"You can be here it's fine I put a patch on as soon as I left the doctors."
Haruka turned his wrist up and showed him the patch his mom had applied there
earlier to show him what to do.
"Does it hurt Haru-chan?" the puppyboy gave a soft whimper.
Upon hearing him Haruka had a sudden urge that got him wiggling closer to his
best friend.
"It doesn't hurt" he replied "just feels itchy all over and my mom says I kinda
smell behind my ears.
"Oh can I smell Haru? Uh-h if you um don't mind?" Makoto asked looking down and
peeking up shyly from beneath his long lashes. How could Haruka say no to that.
"Fine." He leaned forward a little while Makoto scooched almost beside him to
sniff his ears. As Makoto snuffled his ears he gave a small hum.
"What is it?" Haruka asked ears flattening a little.
Makoto sat back a bit and smiled genlty at him with his eyes closed. "Haru-chan
smells sweet."
Haruka felt that urge again but this time he knew what he felt like doing. So
while Makoto smiled at him he leaned forward and gently lapped at the puppies
floppy ears.
"H-haru-chan!?" Makoto was a little startled. Haruka had never groomed anyone
else other than himself. The small dogboy was so happy his tail started
thumping on the bed.
"It's okay ,right?" the young catboy looked at his friend.
"Of course it is Haru it's you after all."
They looked each other in the eye for a moment understanding the deeper meaning
behind their words. How Haruka didn't want to do anything that made Makoto
uncomfortable and how Makoto fully trusted Haruka. They young catboy continued
grooming one soft floppy ear and as he moved to the next one he felt a weight
on his shoulder. Makoto had fallen asleep. Huffing in amusement at his friend
he gently laid him down and then laid down next to him deciding that an
afternoon nap was a good idea.
***** Chapter 3 *****
Chapter Notes
     Makoto thought Cooking Mama might help him.
Haruka wakes up first with his soft black fuzzy ears twitching from the warmth
of the setting sun. He turns to look at Makoto lying next to him and still
asleep when he remembers his earlier actions. Why had he felt the urge to be so
close to the other small boy and why had he groomed him? He only ever groomed
himself and even then not very often. The puppyboy gave a small whimper in his
sleep and curled closer to Haruka. The urge kicked in again and honestly he
didn't mind. Why should he? Makoto was Makoto. His best friend and the only one
he felt close enough to share so much of himself with. Leaning over his friend
he began to groom his ears again and soon the small body next to him began to
stir.
"Haru-chan?" Makoto whispered.
"Mm?" he replied while continuing.
"Why are you grooming me?"
Haruka stopped all movement and moved away from Makoto just a bit. Had he done
something against Makoto's wishes? Was he bothering him. He didn't think so but
the last thing he wanted to do was make Makoto uncomfortable. The other small
boy immediately sensed his friends unease and sat up with ears perked in alarm.
"Oh no Haru it's okay! Actually I really liked it!" He exclaimed with a small
happy yip.
"Really?"
"Really Haru-chan! You grooming me feels special and it makes me very happy!"
Haruka stared at Makoto for a while looking at his soft warm smile and his tail
happily wagging back and forth thumping on the bed. He knew his friend was
telling him nothing but the truth. His cheeks flushed a bit and he looked away
feeling a sudden shyness creeping up on him but he was happy nevertheless.
"So Haru, why did you lick me?"
"I just felt like it."
"Oh umm?"
"It was probably my heat though."
"Oh no Haru does me being here with you bother you while you're in heat? I-I'll
leave right away I don't wanna make you do things you wouldn't normally do!"
The little puppyboy began to shuffle off the bed but Haruka reached out and
grabbed his hand stopping him.
"Wait Makoto. My heat might have something to do with this but I wouldn't have
done it if I didn't really want to."
A light blush settled on Makoto's cheeks as he moved back towards Haruka and
said quietly "Okay Haru-chan."
Once they had ended their conversation peacefully they both decided to move
onto playing video games. Haruka settling on trying to finish the Metroid Prime
trilogy while Makoto woefully failed another meal in Cooking Mama.

Haruka's mother peeked from the door frame telling them it was dinner time. As
they went down the stairs and made their way to the door. Makoto putting on his
shoes as Haruka stood nearby to say his goodbye's to his friend.
"I'll see you tomorrow at school Haru!"
"Mm-hmm."
Makoto licked his cheek and as he slowly put his hand to the wet spot on his
cheek Makoto had already turned and happily gone out the door. With a faint
tint of pink coloring his cheeks he closed the door after his friend and went
to sit at the dinner table.
His mother cleared her throat and addressed him.
"Now Haruka before we start eating your father and I need to talk to you."
"We aren't angry or anything son so no worries just some life lessons so you
aren't lost!" his father chimed in.
"Yes," his mother continued "you see after a certain point in your life
sometimes more feelings than the ones you already have develop. Like adding
something. Now there's nothing wrong if you never do feel anything new. All
that matters is you're happy with who you are. Does that make sense sweetie? "
Haruka nodded thinking back to his actions with Makoto and the feelings it
brought to him.
"There are many types of feelings in this world and many expressions of love
and nothing is wrong with a single one of them-"
"As long as you aren't hurting anyone or hurting yourself!" added his dad.
His mother nodded in agreement.
"Absolutely. Now we'll talk more about all of this in a few years. We don't
want to overwhelm you. But if you want to do some research on your own we do
have a small pamphlet that can direct you to some good books and websites."
Haruka took the pamphlet his mother handed him and silently read the title that
said "Sexuality and you!" in an elegant font. He turned his head towards his
father as he started moving his chair closer to him.
"Okay now it's my turn!" his father said as he placed a small box from his lap
to the table in front of Haruka.
"This may get a little embarrassing but son it's very important! In that box
are a few different things that will help with your heats!"
Haruka felt his cheeks turn a darker pink than earlier. He really hadn't
expected that.
"Now son I won't go through the box with you but rest assured I put plenty of
information sheets in there too and made this care box with you in mind!" His
fathers tail waving happily and ears straight up in pride. "I mean we can go
through the box right now-"
Haruka's tail shot straight up. He had an idea about what was in the box what
with the magazines the boy's passed around in class. He really didn't want to
look at this with his dad.
"Dear please! We don't want to make Haruka uncomfortable." His mother
chastised.
"Right right sorry!" his father said a little quieter "But look son if you
don't feel comfortable talking to me your mom is always here and you can always
ask your doctor questions too 'kay?"
Nodding to his father he took the box as it was handed to him.
"Well!" his mother said "I think that went very well and we can move onto
dinner but first Haruka sweetie go put what we gave you in your room."
As Haruka was going up to his room he realized that he felt calm. Feeling so
much lighter after talking with his parents. It may have been a bit long and
definitely a little embarrassing but Haruka was glad nonetheless. Once he made
his way back to the table Haruka ate feeling okay with his recent developing
heat. He would talk to Makoto tomorrow about all this now that he felt at peace
with himself.

     your thoughts.
***** Chapter 5 *****
Chapter Notes
     Cuteness ensues.
See the end of the chapter for more notes
Haruka wakes the next morning feeling a little itchy despite wearing the patch.
Especially around the base of his tail. Ignoring the sensations it gave him he
left his room to head downstairs to the kitchen. The house was quiet and before
he could wonder why a neatly written note on the kitchen table caught his eye.
Haruka, your father and I are going shopping we'll be back late, -mom.
Well it wasn't the first time he'd be alone all day so he went about making his
breakfast and thinking over the things he had to do that day. First and
foremost he need to go through the box his father had given him to get it out
of the way as embarrassing as it was. After was most definitely his bath which
would probably run a little longer, he definitely felt he deserved it. He'd go
over to Makoto's house afterwords and tell him what he could but mostly clear a
few things up.
 
After breakfast he made his way back to room to begin what felt like one of the
most embarrassing things he's have to go through. Yes he understood this was
normal but it was still embarrassing! He closed his eyes and dumped the box
over. Squinting he saw exactly what he expected a whole bunch of "adult toys"
as he heard the boys at school call them. But there were also several neatly
folded papers. Grabbing those Haruka read over the first page which was an
explanation about how sometimes heats could be a little more troublesome
sometimes and required a bit more attention. It was very well written and
extremely scientific about more bothersome heats and how to deal with them
yourself. It was a little less embarrassing to Haruka knowing this was a pretty
normal thing. However the other things on his bed in front of him where still a
bit embarrassing not to mention a bit intimidating.
His tail thumped against the bed as he thought over what to grab. Checking over
the papers he read one for beginners and started looking for a vibrator that
was fairly thin and short. Haruka honestly wasn't sure if he wanted to try
using it. On one hand he didn't feel much need to do anything with the patch on
his wrist but on the other when he took it off he felt itchy everywhere. Maybe
he could just use this thing and get the itchy feeling over with? It was worth
a try since he had everything he needed.
As he started to shimmy out of his pants the door opened with a smiling Makoto.
"Haru-chan the doors were open again so I just-!" Makoto stopped talking when
he laid his eyes on what was on the bed.
"Makoto listen-"
"I'm so sorry Haru! You're busy doing s-something! I'll go now!" He was staring
to turn when Haruka yelled.
"Wait! Makoto here read these."
Makoto shuffled over and sat next to his friend. He took the papers and started
reading. Haruka watched as sometimes Makoto let out a funny sound or turned a
little red but most of the time his face serious like he was studying.
When he finished reading he look at Haruka with a small sigh.
"These papers sure cover more than my parents told me."
Haruka's ears perked forward a bit. "Wait did your heat start too? Or rut?"
"Oh no not yet but when I told them that you got your first heat the talked to
me a little. They told me the basics and I got to ask them questions but they
wanted to tell me more until I got my first rut or heat."
They both looked at each other and laughed a little. Both boys thinking back to
the "special lesson" they all got a couple of years ago in school. It really
hadn't taught them anything just raised questions that were never answered.
"I guess I'll be next to go through this too huh?" Makoto said quietly.
"I'll be right here Makoto"
His friend smiled, "Thanks Haru! I'm so glad you're my best friend!" and licked
his cheek.
He shivered feeling the itching near his tail again.
"Makoto, do that again." Haruka said.
Chapter End Notes
     Does anyone else notice that most bottom!makoto fics make him sound
     like a porn actress, in other words really fake and uncomfortable.
     He's always blushing or crying or saying he doesn't want to and
     sometimes all three. It's sad.

"Um Haru-chan, I do want to do that again but," he looked down ears drooping as
well, "I just feel like you should be doing this with someone you love." Haruka
nodded his yes in agreement.
"No, Haru-chan I mean someone you're in love with. Look you see my parents said
you should do things like this with someone you want to be with and love so
that you don't hurt yourself and whoever you're with."
"Makoto I know that that's why I'm asking you to be here and why I've told you
everything don't you feel the same I thought you did?"
His ears perked up instantly, "Oh Haru! Yes! yes! I love you! I've always loved
you too! So then," Makoto sat up straight gently grabbing Haruka's hands,
"Haruka Nanase will you officially be my boyfriend and go out with me?"
Haruka huffed lightly, "Of course Makoto, I think we've both been together for
a while now we just never said it out loud."
"Hmm... I guess you're right! But since when do you think?" Makoto asked
tipping his head to the side.
"Probably when you first kissed me." Haruka's tail swished at the thought of
the memory.
Makoto spluttered, "You still remember that? I thought you forgot! But Haru,
wait I only kissed you-"
"On the cheek." finished Haruka, "I remember."
-----
It was a sunny afternoon for the the two boys sitting in front of the garden
sharing a coloring book and crayons together. Makoto was six and Haruka had
just turned seven the coloring book a present from his grandmother.
"Makoto!" Haruka's mother called, "Your mom wants you home now. She says you
two are going shopping together."
"Okay!" called the little boy getting up with Haruka. Holding hands they walked
to the front door together. After putting his shoes on he turned to his friend.
"I'll come over again tomorrow Haru-chan! Makoto said cheerily then kissed
Haruka on the cheek.
Haruka's tail and ears stood on end with surprise clearly showing on his face.
"Why did you kiss me?" he asked.
Makoto smiled, "Well whenever daddy leaves home he gives mommy a kiss on the
cheek! He said he does it because he loves her and I love you Haru-chan!"
Haruka's cheeks turned a light pink as he thought it over then shuffled forward
and placed a light peck on Makoto chubby cheek. The little boy giggled as his
cheeks turned a light pink too and turned to walk home.
"Bye bye Haru-chan!" he waved over his shoulder. Haruka waved back touching his
cheek and feeling very happy that Makoto was his best friend.
Chapter End Notes
     Every time I see a story with Makoto and Haruka that has
     miscommunication in it I get confused. They have the best
     communication I've seen between friends in a show in a long time. How
     do people miss such great communication?
