Saying goodbye to the dogs before work always gets me these looks #goldenretriever #irishwolfhound #coopington #vega

Trapped home with all the flooding happening in our state, unable to go to work. We don’t really know what to do with ourselves today. Hope everyone is staying safe! #coopington #dogsofinstagram #vegahasabeard #goldenretriever #irishwolfhound #dvm #quarantine #flood #prayformichigan

Cooper and Hunter had spent a massive amount of time together since they first met, and admittedly Hunter was taken by the elder male, he was brash and confidence, Hunter was intrigued by every little thing that he did from the way he spoke to the way he walked, Cooper could insult Hunter endlessly in the space of an hour, and Hunter would just be bemused, the smallest smiles curling up on the side of his lips, because he knew no matter how much the elder male didn't want to admit it, he enjoyed the company of the younger male too, regardless. When Cooper offered to teach Hunter how to play the piano he was more then happy to sit by the elder male, Hunters hands placed onto of the others, as the male guided them across the keys, but the moments following weren't something Hunter expected, small chuckles, light hearted bickering, and the elder males lips falling against his own in a sweet yet gentle kiss. 

After Cooper had sent Hunter roses to his home earlier--careful to sign off with a different name and return address--he went to work. He didn't have any classes with Hunter that day, but he was hopeful he'd stopped by his office. Cooper was pleased with his relationship with Hunter. It wasn't like he wanted to be his boyfriend, especially not at the time, but he wanted the other boy to open the door to that possibility. He definitely didn't feel like he could handle losing someone else in his life. He sat in his office, grading papers and answering e-mails, hoping he'd get to see Hunter.

Cooper sat alone on the bar, drinking a glass of scotch on the rocks. He wasn't much for drinking by himself, but the first day of school was always particularly stressful and full of work, so he was trying to blow off steam. He was almost done with his drink, as he asked for the tab ready to go home.
