Something so funny about Flambae and Robert meeting before Robert starts at SDN, and the bar confrontation.
Now. In Robertβs defense? He didnβt anticipate being in a coma for months when he last fed his little fur ball.
And a part of him almost hesitated to walk through that doorβ
Only to find Beef with a shiny coat of fur, happily round, but running very actively around him.
The culprit? A very beautiful, very glare-prone man.
Apparently, Mr. 6β4 with sunshine eyes also signs up for foster programs where he takes care of βlostβ pets.
βSo youβre Dumplingβs owner?β
ββ¦His nameβs Beef.β
βDumplingβs cooler.β
βBeef inspires authenticity.β
βAnd what inspired YOU to leave this meatball? I had him for five months and I might take you to court for him. Or a restaurant.β
Robert shrugs. βI wouldβve come sooner, but the coma and I had a disagreement. So you know.β
ββ¦Fuck, okay. Thatβs better than what I usually get.β
Robert snorts. βBare minimum wins again.β But he does soften. βThanks. For taking care of him. Even if you do give off major β cartoon villain with a soft side and making it everyoneβs problemβ vibes.β
βFuck off,β he huffs, but it does sound suspiciously like a laugh. ββ¦Good thing you came after him, thought. He kept crying after you everyday. β
ββ¦Is that a tear in your eye?β
βMy tears have muscles. Theyβre just working out.β
As it turns out, Chad, Mr βI took care of your dog for months without knowing if youβll actually come backβ is also Flambae.
And Flambae is very adamant Robert does not tell anyone about Beefβs visitation nights.
