Your big sister has been thinking about getting a dog recently.
You get so excited when she tells you about it in bed after you wake up. You sit up so fast, you lose your balance and nearly fall off her bed. She catches you and pulls you back into her arms, giggling at how clumsy you are, like you hadn't changed a bit over the years. You've been wanting a dog ever since you were little. Well, littler. But mom never let you have one, said you weren't responsible enough to properly train and own a pet, not like your sister was. Probably because she used to be a boy, you told yourself. Mom always liked boys better. But now, you're living with her and you can't wait to finally get what you've always wanted.
"Calm down, baby girl." she says with a giggle, squeezing you tight to suppress your excited little wiggles that you never really grew out of.
"We'll have to go shopping for some supplies and stuff first. I can't just get a dog without setting the place up for it first. I still need to figure out where we'll put her cage, her bed, her toys...'
You can barely contain yourself in her arms, spinning around to face her with sparkles in your eyes.
"What's her name?? What breed is she?? How old is she?? Can we keep all her things in my room?? I wanna be able to wake up and play with her every morning! Pleasepleasepl-"
She shuts you up with her hand over your mouth, giggling at how much you're looking forward to this.
"I said calm down. I'll tell you all about her later, mk?"
"And besides, if you want to wake up with her every morning, we might as well have her stuff in my room. I can't remember the last time you slept in your own bed, baby sis."
She has a point. Neither can you, to be honest. She's always been there to tuck you both in and keep you warm and safe while you sleep. The thought of sleeping alone, sleeping without your big sis wrapped around you sounds so lonely and cold and scary in comparison. Your sister moves her hand away from your mouth and places it on your cheek.
"How about we do some shopping today, hm? And since you clearly can't contain yourself and I know how long you've been waiting for this, I'll let you pick out all the stuff we get for my new dog. How does that sound?"
"Yesyesyesyesyes!! I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait!!!" you squeal, shooting out of bed and running to your room to get all ready to go out.
"Ooooh this one is really pretty! Can we get this one for her?" you hold up a leash to your sister. It's a lovely shade of pastel pink, with little black hearts sewn into it all the way down to a bone-shaped clip. She takes it in her hands and examines it closely, holding it out in between you and her as you go back to looking at the shelf behind you.
"Oh my god! It even has a matching collar! Pleaseeee can we get these for her pleaseee? They'd look so so sooo cute!" you plead, shoving the collar into your sister's half-open hand.
She turns the collar around in her hand a few times. The same shade of pink, with a shiny, black, metal dog tag on the front shaped like a heart. She glances between the collar, the leash, and you eagerly awaiting an answer.
"I think you're right baby sis, these would look so adorable on her. I have to check something first though... turn around."
"Wha..? Why?" you ask, turning around to face away from her regardless. Metal clinks and clicks behind you.
"I need to make sure it's comfortable for her. I don't want to buy this and have her scratch it off because it's itchy or whatever. Tilt your head back, sweetheart."
She lowers her hands down in front of you, each holding one end of the collar at neck-height.
"Are-are you sure? This is kinda... embarrassing. I mean I'm not-"
"It's fine hun, my friends did this before they got pets too. There's nothing embarrassing about making sure your puppy is going to be comfy in her collar, okay? Now tilt your head back for me."
"O-okay..." you do as she says, tilting your head back as she brings the collar around your neck, then tilting forward to let her bring the strap through the buckle.
"There you go! How does that feel, hun? I didn't make it too tight on you, did I?"
The leather feels soft and smooth on your neck. It's... nice. Really nice. You move your head around a little, looking around and tilting your head and it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all. It feels so... cosy? Like a warm little hug for your neck. You reach up and brush your fingers against the dog tag, playing with it like a little fidget toy. Your eyes wander around the room as you move your head around and you briefly catch the glance of a woman passing by, staring at you for a moment before walking out of view. Your eyes dart to the ground, face reddening, suddenly remembering that you're in public.
"Uh-uhm y-yeah, it's- it's really comfy, I- I think. Uhm, c-can you- can you please take it o-off of me now it's... it's really embarrassing. P-please."
"Aww sure thing hun, it's okay. At least now I know she'll definitely like it. C'mere, I've got you..." she coos, undoing the collar's buckle and sliding it off your neck. You shiver a little at the brushing sensation, to her amusement.
"Alright, now that's done, how about we go look for a nice bed for her?"
"Uh, y-yeah! Yeah, let's do that! I wanna get her a really big fluffy one!!
Your blush recedes with your attention fully drawn towards the beds aisle, as you skip gleefully away to look at all the soft fluffy things. Your big sister follows behind, looking down at all the empty space on that little black heart tag for a name to be engraved into.
"These are soooo fluffyyyy! Why don't they make beds this nice for people?? Dogs are so so lucky..." you tell her, running your hands over all the fluffiest of the dog beds, some of them even bigger than you. Your hands brush over a big, lavender bed. Bigger than you and the softest thing you think you've ever felt. Mesmerised by the sensation, you kneel down on the ground and drag your hands all over it, savouring every moment of how soft and silky it feels between your fingers.
"You really like that one, huh?"
Your sisters voice snaps you out of your little trance, standing over you with a smirk on her face.
"Oh! Yeah! This one is really soft and squishy, I think she'll really like this one!"
"You sure? We don't want it to be too squishy, otherwise she'll sink into it and she'll just be laying on the hard ground."
"Yeah, true... maybe I could test it out!"
You pull the bed out from the aisle and lay it out on the ground next to you.
"I mean, she can't be that much heavier than I am right? Plus it is really, really cosy."
A grin creeps across your big sister's lips.
"That's a great idea, darling! She is pretty small so if you're comfy on it then she'll totally love it. Lay down."
She points down to the bed, expectantly. You eagerly nod before lowering yourself down onto the bed, instantly overtaken by how soft it feels on your arms and legs. You lay down on its soft, soft fur and roll around in a little bout of bliss. Your sister giggles at how much you're enjoying it, reaching into her handbag.
You sit up and freeze, finding yourself blushing again.
"Wha- uh. What was that noise?"
"That- that clicking sound. It was after you-"
"Oh! You mean this little thing?" she says with a giggle, pulling what looks like a little paw-shaped button out of her handbag.
"It's a dog clicker, it's used for training dogs as like a reward system thing. I thought it'd be fun to test it out a little on you before I get my puppy, just to see how you'd react."
"Oh, o-okay. Yeah, that's kinda fun I guess... It's not gonna like, actually work on me is it?"
"I don't know, hun. Like I said, it's for training dogs. You're a person aren't you? You're not a dog, right?" she teases, tilting her head to the side. You know she can see how red your cheeks have gotten and she's not making it any better.
"No, I'm not. You're right I guess, I'll be totally fine."
You twitch at the sound. You're used to the feeling of your sister's praise, she's always been just as sweet to you, but it's never felt this... deep... before. Must be a really effective little tool, you think.
"So, do you think this one is comfy enough for her?"
"O-oh yeah. Y-yeah this one is... this one's really nice. It's really like, comfy and soft and stuff. I can't even feel the floor underneath me."
You bounce up and down a little bit. Nothing but padding and fluff under your butt.
"Great! Hop up, sweetheart. I'm gonna... fold this up and take it to the front desk and... you can look for some food and water bowls for her, mk?"
"Okay! See you in a bit, sis!"
You rise to your feet, giving her a quick hug around her waist before you go looking for dog bowls. You come to your destination and browse the shelves for a few minutes, trying to find a pair that matches the colour of the bed or the collar you got, eventually settling on a pair of black bowls, with "BEST" written across one and "PUP" written across the other in big, flowy pink letters. You see your sister waiting by the front counter for you, chatting with the older woman at the desk as you walk up.
"Hey sis, I got these ones! I tried to match the colour of the collar and I think these are kinda cute!"
You hold the bowls up to your sister and she reads the words across the front of them, looking back to the lady at the counter and sharing a smirk with her.
""Best pup", huh? Yeah, I think these will be perfect, baby sis." she says with a chuckle, taking them from your hands and placing them on the counter before making a claw-like gesture with her hand at you. You tilt your head forward and close your eyes like you've always done and she runs her nails through your hair and across your scalp. You shudder a little as she passes over behind your ears. Your big sister knows where you like it the most.
You shudder again, this time with a wince and not from her touch. That noise... it's so different for some reason that you can't quite put your finger on. Your focus snaps to the older woman at the counter giggling as she exchanges another look with your sister. You look down at the ground and dash behind your big sis, trying to and failing to hide your embarrassment as your cheeks heat up again. She buys everything you two collected and stuffs it all into a bag, save for the bed under her arm. The older woman tells your sister to have fun, along with something else too quiet for you to hear and your hand is taken by your big sis as she leads you out of the store and back to her car.
"Don't touch anything in here." she says, setting the bag of new stuff down beside your feet.
"I don't want those clumsy little hands of yours breaking any of this before I get to use it on my puppy, mk sweetie?"
You nod, shuffling your feet to the side to avoid kicking the bag in your excitement. Your sister reaches over you to buckle you in and cups your cheek with her hand.
"I'm gonna run to the pharmacy real quick, alright? I've gotta get some... medicine. For my dog. I should only be a few minutes, so you just be good for me and keep yourself occupied until I get back, alright?"
Your sister turns your head, pulling your cheek to her lips for a little kiss, then bringing her lips next to your ear.
The warm, tingly feeling of your sister's whispered praise almost feels like it's driven deeper by the sudden sharp clicking. Deep enough to turn that warmth into a full-body twitch and you catch yourself almost about to make a noise. You catch the corner of a smile on your big sister's lips in response to your very physical reaction.
"Oh? What was that, baby sis? That was pretty intense, it's not actually working on you now, is it?" she teases, pulling back a little to meet your eyes with hers.
"I-um. Maybe? I don't- I'm not sure. It's really surprising but... it feels... funny..."
"Aww, does it feel bad, sweetie?"
"No, not... not bad. Something else..."
Your sisters smile shrinks into a pursed smirk as she straightens her stance and puts her hand on the passenger side door.
"Hmm, well we can talk about it later if you want. I'll be right back, honey. I love you."
She closes your door and walks off towards the pharmacy, leaving you with this... deep, warm feeling inside you. It feels so much like the warmth of the praise and cuddles and affection she gives you but... physical almost. You hope it doesn't get worse. You're not going to ask your sister to stop, she'd just do it more to tease you even further. You're sure she'd get bored of it eventually. Right?
