“I don’t think she likes me.”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Adam replies, rolling his eyes at Blake. They’re at Adam’s, spending one of their nights off curled up together on the couch with drinks and a little mindless tv, with some occasional making out thrown in for good measure. They also seem to have attracted company.
Charlie, Adam’s beautiful golden retriever is staring up and them quizzically. Adam calls her over, raising his head off of Blake’s shoulder to lean down and pet her enthusiastically.
“Go kiss Blake, Charlie, go on girl!” But Charlie just stares at Blake for a few seconds, then back at Adam.
“See?” Blake says, disappointed. “Your dog hates me.”
“She doesn’t hate you!” Adam rebuffs. “She just isn’t used to seeing you here all the time like you are now. You’ve had dogs before right?”
“Yeah.”
“Well you know they don’t always like change,” Adam says, patting Charlie again. “Give it time, she’ll love you! And if not, I’ll get you a dog myself.”
“I’m not lonely Adam, I don’t need a dog.” Blake laughs. “I just want yours to like me.”
“Do not deny me the fun of buying you a Chihuahua, come on, give me that!”
They laugh, and Blake pulls him in for a kiss, whilst saying, “You’re stupid and I don’t know why I love you but I do.
A few weeks later, Adam can’t believe his eyes when he gets home after a late rehearsal and spies Blake asleep on the couch. It’s not Blake sleeping that’s the surprise – it’s the fact that Charlie is sleeping on top of him, totally content. It’s instinct when Adam pulls out his phone and starts snapping pictures from practically every angle he can without waking either of them up, giddy with the turn of events. He is a little concerned for Blake, though – Charlie is almost a fully-grown golden retriever after all and isn’t that light. He leans down and says “Blake? Blake wake up.”
It takes a minute for Blake to respond. “Are you on top of me again? Not that I’m complaining but-“
“Shut up and open your eyes.”
When he finally does, Blake looks down, sees Charlie, it stunned for a second, and then grins. “Well hey there, girl!” He says, rubbing Charlie behind her ears as she blinks awake.
“And here I was getting excited about buying you a Chihuahua.”
