Haven’t been able to pop in recently due to one, I impulsively got a puppy and have been training it. And two, it was my birthday yesterday, yay🥳.
I’ve been debating on asking on how dust would treat a small puppy that his partner has (he reminds me of those fuckass dads that don’t want a dog but end up loving it in the end) or what his gift for me for my birthday would be (wink wink nudge nudge, I’m hoping for that carrot). So I’m leaving it up to you, Yayy!
Dust caring for any pet his partner has is basically every begrudging dad having to care for their kids pet while he's away, he's not completely immune to soft things as we established with his love of bunnies. So he's taking care of it but he doesn't like it but over time he comes to really likes the smol creecher
Not cleaning up after it though, he takes it for walks and it can poop wherever, have fun with that dibshits. Might even try to train it, not to do tricks but very basic commands. "hold", "sit", and "stay" which is all fun and games until he tries it on you to see if it also works
And if it does Dust is going to make a comment about where your puppy gets it from
As for the birthday question
Dust's ass is going to forget unless it's brought up, so his gift might just be his carrot lmao. But assuming either you brought it up and that you expect something (or maybe someone else brought it up and Dust's guilt would not let him know then not do anything)?
Well the knee-jerk reaction is still "f u c k" but he has prep time
Dust knows what you like, he's not just your boyfriend he's also your stalker but the point of a gift is meant to show how much he cares right? So he'll probably go for something personalized and honestly since I've been playing around with photography as a hobby for Dust....imagine him getting a photo collage for you, with some pictures being a little....creepy....Dust when and how did you take these for some of these things you remember his ass was NOT there
I've also humored the idea of the reader pointing out that while Dust takes a lot of photos of them, they can NEVER get Dust to take a selfie with them or a photo of just him, pointing out he's a hypocritical ass, etc, etc. Nagging him but the answer is no, he does not like being seen.
Then one day you do get a photo from him and it's of him, his first and only self portrait. He still has the hood but you can see his face, he's not smiling but he doesn't look unhappy. You get a curt order to not show this to anyone and if you do....well he's got plenty of embarrassing photos of you he can drop if you at any moment
You don't drink it? He'll drink it for you, and I consider drunk dust a gift
