"Inv, can you… stick your tongue out for me?" I ask, trying to keep my face as straight as possible.
"U-ummm… o-o-ok???" Surprised, I watch as Inv complies easily and starts sticking his tongue out in front of me.
Moving slightly to the side, i look at Inv's tongue with a much closer view.
Holding back a gulp, I seriously look at Inv's tongue.
Immediately I notice a small detail, his tongue is… much more moist than I thought?
Compared to how mine usually is, his tongue is much smoother looking, as if you could slide something on it…
I'm starting to get an idea on why Inv wasn't able to clean himself. There's just one last thing I need to figure out to be sure…
"Inv… can… can I feel your tongue?" I ask Inv in utter embarrassment.
Before I can say something else not make what i just said any more awkward…
"M-mhm" I hear Inv grunt out, his tongue still sticking out.
Hearing his approval I try to keep my excitement under control. Knowing that I'm doing this just to figure out how Inv's tongue feels.
I can't really remember when we kissed since I was more focused on… uhh… kissing.
"A-alright Inv, just let me know if I do something wrong…" I warn Inv as my paw slowly approaches the top of his tongue.
…
The moment my paw touches his tongue, I immediately feel a slimy texture, the surface wet and slippery. Slowly I move my paw down the length of Inv's tongue, the entirety of it coated with Inv's saliva. Nothing similar at all to my tongue.
'Well… this definitely explains why it didn't work. His tongue just makes the mess more moist and worse.' I think as I raise my paw off of Inv's tongue. My paw now soaked in his saliva…
…
"S-so? Ded i du something wong?" Inv asks
Looking up at Inv, trying to not think much about my soaked paw, I answer back.
"No Inv, you did nothing wrong. It's just your tongue is… much more different then mine…"
"D-dos dat meen i cant b clen?" Inv says with a face full of sadness.
…
"No Inv… did you forget about earlier?~" I say as I slowly start licking my soaked paw. Immediately feeling a boost to everything. I can even feel my excitement slowly rising from what im going to say next.
"U-um… i forgor…" Inv says with a face that tried to remember why but forgot.
"What I was thinking about earlier…" I finish licking my paw clean.
In front of Inv I put both of my paws on his stomach.
"Was licking you clean~" I say as I look up at Inv.
"O-oh! R-r u sur u w-wan tu du dat??" Inv's skin flares dark red as he asks while stuttering.
"Of course I want to, unless… you don't want me to?" I slightly look away, faking a sad expression.
"N-no! I wan u tu!" I hear Inv yelp out before covering his mouth with his paws.
With a smug look, I look back up at Inv.
"I-i meen… u don hav tu…" Inv says, a slight purple creeping onto his skin.
Before it can grow anymore, I immediately push it down.
"But I do want to Inv, you just lay down and I'll… do all the work, just relax~" I say as I slowly knead my paws on his stomach.
"U-ummmm… ok… i… lay dow??" Inv asks, his face a mixture of embarrassment and curiosity.
"Mhm, lay down on your back~"
"O-ok…"
Slowly, Inv lays down on the shelter floor, turning onto his back into a comfortable position.
With him now on his back, I feel my excitement starting to peak. I get to lick Inv all over! Sure, it's from blood and stuff but at the moment I don't care right now!
Keeping myself in check I slowly climb onto his stomach, steadily creeping up to his face on all 4's.
Moving up to Inv's face I see him looking up at me, his face completely red.
"I'm going to start around your face, alright Inv?"
"M-my fac?"
"Mhm, it has a bit blood on it"
"O-oh… sory…"
I let out a small chuckle from his apology. Why should he apologize for something he can't control?
"It's ok Inv…" I move my face up to his.
"Just relax… and try not to move, alright?"
"M-mhm"
Hearing Inv's grunt mixed with a small bit of anxiety I feel even more inclined to clean Inv. By the end of this my partner is going to be the cleanest he has ever been!
Without saying anything else, i bend down and start licking the area around Inv's mouth. Obviously because that's the area with the most blood.
As much as I would like to say i like the taste of Inv right now. I'm mostly just tasting iron amongst the feeling of licking fur that is tickling the hell out of my tongue!
You try to lick fur that actively responds back to you with its own will! It's hella weird! But also extremely endearing.
Cleaning the area around Inv's mouth, at first I felt Inv completely stiff. Probably nervous from me cleaning him. But over time I can slowly feel him start to relax. Which is really good. Since I don't want him to feel stressed while I do this.
With the repetition of slowly cleaning the area around his mouth and face. I fall into a pattern, figuring out the best ways to clean his fur around his face.
…
…
…
After a while. I raise my head up from Inv's. Looking down I see Inv's face now completely clean from blood. In fact. His fur looks even… more ethereal than before? The only spot that seems normal being his ear that has my pink color…
'Wow… it feels really soft… even more than before. Is this the first time his fur has been groomed before?' I think as I slowly feel the fur on Inv's ear.
"See? It wasn't so bad, right Inv?" I ask Inv, who currently has a face that seems completely relaxed.
"Ye… dat fel… wealy gud…" Inv says, his speech slightly slurred which i can only assume from him feeling relaxed.
"Good, because I'm just getting started~"
