Lads men reacting to "I got a dog!"
ft. Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus, Caleb
In the loving memory of Valko, I would absolutely pet that dawg.
A Dog? sounds great!
While it is rare for you to get something back from a solo mission, Xavier imagines the furry friend running around in your apartment, and can't help but feel elated.
Plus you sounded so excited to introduce them :D! He shows up with a box of treats and a dog bowl as a homecoming gift, mostly looking forward to meeting it and then you open the door.
Xavier almost draws out his sword on the spot.
THAT is no dog at all. Its a whole 6 ft dude, standing in your living room wagging his tail. What's worse is that this creature, on sight. Lunges at him, arms thrown wide, screaming "TOUCHDOWN"
It nuzzles him, as he is basically tackled to the ground, TALKING about how they're going to be friends. Xavier is horrified but mostly confused. Should he be attacking him or should he be giving it treats?
Its all good tho, once he's over the shock and the concussion, he'd find that they do really get along well.
You haven't sent him a picture of him yet because it is a 'surprise' haha.
Zayne did have his reservations, a dog in a small hunter's apartment isn't ideal, not to mention a rescue will have to be tested for sickness, officially registered and then vaccinated. But, the plus side of working at Asko is that he can take care of it.
He has a few contacts at the Linkon veterinarian clinic, so all he had to so was ring them up and make an appointment. The confusing part was when they had to ring him back.
It’s not exactly a Dog, they’re saying.
They’re not sure if they have the authorization to give the vaccine, they’re saying.
He has a tendency to put people in headlocks-Headlocks? and it’s scaring the doctors, they’re saying.
Could you come pick him up? they're asking.
Confused and a little anxious, Zayne makes it to the clinic, only to find the young man/wolf- eh.. thing waiting for him with crossed arms, clearly upset.
"Was this a joke?" It demands, "Sending me to a vet because I have ears?"
Zayne tries to form words, but Valko beats him to it, "Because if it is, I LOVE IT, dude!" he fist-bumps his chest hard, "Mc told me, you're the funny one, But even I wasn't expecting a prank on day ONE! my guy, gyahahah! you're crazy!"
Zayne presses his hand to his chest and prays for you to show up. Not that you have any of the answers he needs.
I mean... fine, if you really want one Rafayel doesn't mind. At least its not a cat. Hmph, it might even be nice to have a fluffy boy around.
And then, he sees 'the dog'.
NO no no no no. Ears? and a fucking tail?
What is he some kind of pervert?!
And he has human ears too? four - FOUR EARS?
AND HE TALKS?
OH he is DEFINITELY some kind of pervert.
Absolutely fucking not. You don't know where he's been!! It could have lice or ticks! And he looks like some perv that eats fish!
Its probably calling him a pervert four times, but Rafayel bitten. Now Raf wants to get checked for rabies and Valko wants to get checked for anisakis. Little do they know, they're both going to be put in timeout until they learn to get along.
A dog? Ofcourse, his sweetheart can get anything she wants. It is short notice for you to take on the responsibility of a pet, but nothing that can't be managed. He'll see to it that the labour around it is done.
He swiftly orders things he can think of right off his head, puppy pad, dog bed, you did say it was a big dog... well, he can just made the dog its own room if needed. Obviously you send out a list for the new doggo as well.
Sylus nods along as he checks it. Food, harness, Playstation 5, Alienware 15 gaming laptop... Volume 3 of Linkon's coding technologies? What kind of dog is reading Data sciences? Moreover reading at all?
Once the big reveal is done, Sylus tries to negotiate with you.
'Yes that is a Dog, Sylus I don't understand what you're getting at."
As if to prove your point, you gesture towards the 'puppy'. And man looks him straight in his eyes and with a grin, offers a mockingly human 'woof!'
Behind his smirk Sylus feels his eye twitch.
huh.
Maybe he should get it a muzzle too.
He feels the disturbance in the force before you even mention it to him.
'Do you have to get a puppy pips? you already have a dog at home haha!", He tries. But no, whatever sad rescue you have found, has stolen your heart. But, its starting to grow on Caleb you keep addressing the dog as your (collective) 'child'. And eventually he finds himself smiling at your antics.
Its cute, he admits. The new puppy has you feeling maternal. And he would be lying if he said he doesn't get a kick out of playing family with you. You're the mom and he gets to be the dad and the new puppy is going to be your fur baby!
So you couldn't have imagined the absolute horror he felt when you prompted him to announce "Dad's home!" before entering the room. Only for him to find a FULL GROWN, STRANGE MAN lounging on his couch. To make matters worse he just gives him a shit eating grin "Yo pops".
Caleb almost combusted again.
