A vibration from his pocket grabbed Tim's attention, making him put down the contracts he'd been going over in favor of his cell phone. Pulling out the device, Tim opened his messages, smiling as Danny's screen name flashed with a new message, and pulling up the conversation.
Happily Ever Afterlife: ok so dont be mad
Tim snorted, everytime Danny said that, the problem was small and simple and nothing to actually be mad about, inconvenient at best, and even then that itself was rare. If it was actually bad, and something getting mad over, Tim wouldn't find out until Danny had fixed the problem himself. It was the only real point of conflict in their relationship, how they both tried to shoulder everything themselves. Tim, because he felt pressure to handle everything himslef, and Danny, because he didn't want to be a burden or cause problems.
I won't be. What did you get up to? :You

[large brown, black, and tan canine with pointed ears that layed flat on its head, and a sharp, pointed muzzle. Its laying on the couch and staring at the camera with narrowed eyes.]
Happily Ever Afterlife: isnt he the cutest little dog? i found him sniffing through the garbage at work! dont worry i already gave him a bath, i think hes a german shepherd! hes kinda grumpy and not very sociable but that can be fixed with kisses! Can we keep him please please please??
Tim stared at the picture with wide eyes. A Coyote. Danny found a Coyote, brought into their apartment, and was asking to keep it.
Not for the first time, Tim silently cursed at the Fenton's for not having a safe enough home, that caused Danny to have never even toy with the idea of getting a pet, so he never familiarized himself with animals. To Danny there were Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Birds, and Repitles, and while, sure those were rather umbrella terms, it made it to where Danny recognized all Canines as puppies, and anything small and fluffy with pointed ears as cats. Tim, and Damian just got him to stop giving the raccoons cat food because, to Danny, Racoons classified as cats!

[The Coyote eating, what looks to be leftover turkey, from Danny's hand, while Danny can be heard cooing excitedly behind the camera, when the turkey is gone, the coyote continues to lick Danny's hand before laying its head down on his palm and nuzzling against it.]
Happily Ever Afterlife: he likes me!
Taking a deep breath, Tim breathed slowly out of his nose. "Ancients I love this man." He muttered to himself before pushing away from his desk and heading towards the door, firing a quick text to his father and Tam that he was going home early.
The CEO lemanted internally that he would have to be the one to break Danny's heart by telling him that the Coyote was not, in fact, a German Shepherd, and that they'd have to get rid of it. While Tim wasn't against the idea of them getting a dog, he knew they couldn't keep the Coyote, it was illegal, and dangerous to keep a wild animal and while Tim wasn't a really a law abiding citizen, just look at his night time job and the shenanigans surrounding it, he didn't think they could get away with keeping a Coyote, even if it was Gotham-
Actually, Tim paused his thoughts as he waited for the elevator to go down, didn't Harley have two Hyenas that nobody blinked an eye at? He thought to himself, thinking of Bud and Lou, and how nobody batted an eye when Harley took them out to walks. Sure people stared, but that was because it was Harley Quinn and not because she had two Hyenas.
"...We're keeping the Coyote, aren't we?" Tim sighed, already accepting his fate, which was further solidified when Tim's phone dinged once again.

Happily Ever Afterlife: what do you think of the name Owl? or maybe Vulture works better? ohmyancientshejustyawned!
Tim shook his head fondly, a soft smile on his lips as he got into his car, texting a quick reply that he was on his way home, and they'd discuss the "dog" once he got home. Danny's response was a string of heart emojis.
