Rover (TLKOE) and Naota Nandaba

Naota was told to go out and make at least one friend. Naota only agreed to go outside, because a conversation with his weird dad resulted in a headache. Besides, he was just going to stay under the bridge by the river. No one was in the street, probably because everyone were wary about the reports about some blue monster, bounding through town.

"Yeah, right!" Naota scoffed out loud. "Probably some childish phonies trying to get more attention."

He made a shortcut through the park but stopped when he heard a twig snap. Alarmed, he turned and saw the bush shaking, only for a squirrel to jump out. Naota then scoffed and was about to take out his homework from his bag only for something big, blue, and hairy to jump out of the bush.

Naota dropped his homework on the ground and stared at the beast. Then he screamed and made a run for it.

The blue monster, named Rover, wagged his tail in excitement as he saw a new playmate and only grew more excited as his new ‘friend’. The monster bounded after him with his tongue lolling out and sending saliva out in the air.

Naota felt the large beast gaining on him as he ran through the street. Nobody else was in sight, he then saw the abandoned, rundown house and ran in through the lacked doorway.

Just as Rover got close enough and opened his jaws to catch the beast, he was halted as he got his head stuck between the doorway.

Naota sighed in relief as he stopped and stared back at the stuck monster dog. His relief was short lived as Rover began thrashing and causing cracks around the doorway, barking loudly and sending slobber at Naota’s face. Naota groaned in disgust as he wiped his face before running up the stairs. Rover broke through and resumed his chase.

As soon as Naota made it to the rundown bedroom, he was tackled from behind and sent to the floor.

He immediately became aware when something rough and sticky was dragged over the back of his head, messing up his hair.

Weirded out, Naota turned his head to look at the monster. The blue thing had its tongue lolling out, with dripped with slobber. Naota cringed as it dripped on to his face.

This monster seemed to act more like a dog.

Then the monster lowered his face and gave him a big lick right across the face from his chin to his forehead, messing the front of his black hair in the process.

Naota just laid there with his jaw dropped and his eyes widen, trying to process what this thing just did.

He then saw something in the blue fir and reached for it. It was a name tag that read, Rover.

”Rover?” Naota asked.

Rover let out a deep bark in excitement which made Naota cover his ears in pain as the monster dog had strong lungs due to his size.

Rover was happy this boy wanted to play! They would have so much fun together! But then Rover noticed something, this child was not smiling.

The big blue beast smacked his lips as he knew just how to fix this.

He lowered his head and planted his tongue right over Naota's face and dragged it upward. When the tongue flicked off, Naota had a look of disgust as his face was covered in drool.

"Ew! Yuck!" He then began spitting to the side. He was then forced to close an eye as the slobbery tongue came back and dragged up the side of his face, making his cheek roll.

"Hey!" Naota protested, glaring at the beast. He then kept his mouth shut as the tongue came back.

"MMMPPPHH!" He let out as the tongue engulfed his entire face.

"Kn-kn- knock it o-o-off, f-f-f-furball!" Naota said, his lips curling upward as he couldn't resist as the ticklish tongue kept dragging up his face, coating him in even more drool.

Soon, Rover stopped and stared down at Naota with a panting grin. Naota couldn't help but smile up at the friendly monster before pushing at it with all of his might. His push didn't do anything but Naota begin to feel how soft and cuddly Rover's fur was.

He began rubbing his hands all over Rover's fury head, the blue monster closed his eyes with his drooling tongue out and rolled his head into the touch.

"You're so cute." Naota said with a smile.

Rover then got off, Naota took this opportunity to get up. He jumped when the floor shook, only to relax when he saw that it was just Rover who landed on his back with his paws in the air while panting happily at his new playmate. Knowing what the big lug wanted, Naota approached the beast and started rubbing his belly.

Naota laughed when Rover's back leg kicked in happiness while his long tongue laid on the floor.
