Yuuji finds out you're not a dog person , but he makes it work!
It's really pretty hard to figure out why your boyfriend, Yuuji Itadori, ever thought you were a dog person in the first place.
I mean, you never showed that much love for them anyways. Sure you always tolerated Megumi's pet dogs even if you found them a bit scary, and you always seemed to like puppies slightly more than the grown versions of them, but that doesn't necessarily means you like dogs!
Yuuji on the other hand? He LOVES dogs. All breeds included, you've never seen a person who loves them more than he does. You would even go as far as saying that he was friends with Megumi solely because that gave him the privilege to play with the doggies 24/7 had you not seen how close the two boys are actually. He always gets them treats and he's always covered in the fur once he returns from a hangout with him.
No street dog is ever safe from Yuuji's never ending pool of affection. Everyone, and I mean everyone is gonna get pats and rubs and treats, bonus points if it's a puppy because it's now extra, extra cute. He always helps the injured ones at his own expense, even if it takes money from his food budget because he forgets he actually came out to eat.
His phone gallery? It's loaded with pictures of cute puppies from both pinterest and the ones he found, selfies with cute dogs, pet dogs of his friends. It's almost enough to make you a bit jealous, really.
In short, Yuuji really, really is the most dog person to ever exist. So when he got even the smallest, teeniest tiniest hint that you might like dogs, even if it was a misunderstanding, his excitement went through the roof, and the very next week, he did something he had wanted to do from such a long time.
It was the puppiest of all puppies that had ever puppied. The cutest labrador pup with golden, fluffy fur, barely a month old. He was a typical nugget, playful and energetic, happy to follow Yuuji into his new home with a cute pink colour collar with the name "Choco" on it.
Yuuji burst in through the door, trying to tone down his excitement so he wouldn't immediately give away the surprise. His hands were behind his back, holding Choco, who, being the good boy he is, was as quiet as his newfound owner as if playing in on the secret. You were sitting on the couch, watching cartoons with a bag of chips in you hands. Your attention went up to him, eyes narrowing with suspicion.
"Yu, what are you holding?"
His eyes seemed to get impossibly brighter.
"Ugh. I don't know. Megumi's bunny? You snuck him here again?"
"Nuh uh. Pretty close though. Try again"
You huffed in frustration. You hate his stupid guessing games.
"Yuuji come on, either show me or go away, I wanna watch my show"
"Boo, you're no fun, but fine", he grins and finally holds out the puppy like Simba, buzzing with excitement
"Ta-da!!! His name is Choco!"
Choco let out a little "woof" as if agreeing to his name. You sat there, mouth agape as you processed the presence of a literal, living puppy in your apartment. It took you two good minutes to answer.
"Oh. My. Fucking. God. YUUJI WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT PUP???"
Yuuji's eyes widened, but he was still thinking it was a happy response. He smiled proudly and started dictating his heroic story.
"An old lady gave it to me because I helped her. Her pet dog had sooooo many puppies and I got this one home because it was the cutest and the strongest of the bunch. Best deal ever, right baby? Baby?"
You threw a pillow at him, making him yelp.
"Yuuji! I don't like dogs! Why did you think that getting a puppy for us was a GOOD idea?!", you yelled incredulously. Yuuji's mouth fell open out of sheer shock. It just couldn't be! His girlfriend didn't like dogs?! That's impossible!!
"But baby! That's impossible. It can't be! Come on you always were so nice with Megumi's dogs and you ALWAYS liked the puppy videos I sent you!"
You stomped your foot, and crossed your arms.
"That does NOT mean I like them! And for your information, mister, I only tolerate Megumi's pets."
Yuuji set the puppy down on the floor. He was dead set on keeping this puppy, and he was not gonna return it.
"Baby I am NOT returning Choco. Please please please let's just keep him baby. Pleaaase? Just look at him babe he's the cutest and he doesn't even do anything!", Yuuji whined, begging you as he walked closer to you.
The puppy was quick to make it's way to you, looking up at you with so much excitement in those tiny eyes. You pulled up your legs, looking down as if it was a bug.
"He's not even ON you", Yuuji protested. He kneeled down on the floor and picked up Choco and sat in front of you on his knees, holding the puppy in front of you, both of them looking at you with pleading eyes.
"Baby come on...give him a chance"
He stretches out his arms towards your face. Even as you tried to turn your head away, the pupper leans in a licks your cheek. Yuuji set it on your lap and it immediately curled into you, relaxing in between your legs with small sounds.
You hard expression softened a little as you looked down at the innocent creature sitting on you. This was NOT what you wanted at all, but..
"I hate you so much", you grumbled, voice lacking the heat and conviction to make the words seem real. Yuuji's face lit up and his goofy ass grin returned.
"See? I knew you'd love him once he gets to you. Isn't he the babiest?"
You let out a huff of laughter, fingers slowly finding their way to the pup and rubbing it's ears.
"Babiest? So you just invented a new word?"
Yuuji nodded, getting up and sitting with you. He pressed his lips against your cheek, a small thank you for letting the puppy be.
"It's because he's a baby and he's the cutest."
"Ok ok, but you're gonna do EVERYTHING for him, I'm not doing anything. You're gonna take him on walks, take him out to poop, feed him. I can get the food, but NOTHING else, alright?"
Yuuji nodded instantly, giving you a little salute.
"You're so dramatic", you smile in defeat. Yuuji puts his arm over your shoulders, nuzzling into your neck. He's the happiest he could've ever been, because now he has two of the favourite creatures he has in the world right beside him on the couch.

Two weeks later, Yuuji comes home from the gym. It was still early in the morning, 8AM, but he expects you're finally up and about, or atleast rolling around in bed half awake. He takes off his shoes, wiping the sweat off his face and neck as he walks to your bedroom.
"Baaaabyyyy? Are you up?", his voice rings through the corridor.
He peaks into the bedroom, and the sight that greets him literally makes his heart leap.
You, sprawled out on the bed, dead asleep with drool running down the side of your face and shirt halfway up, exposing your tummy, and Choco, perched on your stomach near your chest, just as asleep as you.
The image prints itself into his mind, and he slowly pulls put his phone, snapping a quick picture so he could save the moment forever.
He quietly climbed onto the bed, the mattress dipping with his weight and gets over you, propped up by his elbows as he dips down to gently kiss your forehead. A small hum escapes your mouth, making him giggle.
His world, at the moment, is truly complete.
I'm not a dog person myself, but I LOVE puppies. I like cats a lot more though, though I don't own either of the two.
Yuuji's so cute it hurts my heart :(
