Andrew knocked on Victor's front door. He was going to be taking care of Wick for the day until Victor returns. He liked being helpful.

The door swung open and Victor popped his head out. His face brightened when he saw Andrew. He pulled him inside and picked up Wick.

"Andy, thank you for offering to take care of my little baby. I'm sure she'll be safe with you!" he beamed, placing Wick into Andrew's arms.

"Of course, I'm happy to help..." Andrew murmured.

Victor leaned in to him and kissed his cheek. Andrew was flustered and turned his head, avoiding eye contact. Victor laughed.

"I'll be back soon. I'm going to deliver letters for today. Take care of Wick, she needs lots of love and attention!" he explained. "She's very playful!"

He squished Wick's cheeks and kissed her on the head.

"I'll be home later, my baby." he smiled.

"Goodbye, Victor. I-I'll take good care of her..." Andrew promised, hugging Wick in his arms.

Victor nodded and walked out the door, shutting it behind him. Andrew looked at Wick with a blank stare and she immediately started licking his face. He put Wick down and walked to the couch and sat down. Wick ran to him and jumped onto the couch, cuddling up to him. He rolled his eyes and stood up.

"Are you hungry? Want to play?" he asked before pausing. "Oh yeah... you can't talk."

Wick barked and stuck her tongue out. She pawed at Andrew's leg and tugged at his jeans. He realized that she wanted to lead him somewhere and followed her. She brought him to the kitchen and brushed her paw against a low cupboard. He crouched down and opened it, revealing dog food.

So that's what she wanted.

He chuckled to himself and grabbed it. He walked over to her food bowl and poured some out for her. He sat on the ground beside her as she ate. She's just like Victor. Her face reminded him of Victor, the cute smile that they both have. Small and huggable. He smiled softly and pet Wick's head. She looked up at him and barked happily.

After she finished, she jumped onto Andrew's lap. His eyes widened and Wick curled up against him. He picked her up and tried to put her in bed, but she ran back towards him. He was confused and crouched down to her.

"What's wrong? Are you not tired?"

Wick barked again and skipped into the living room. He followed behind and saw her on the couch with the remote in her mouth. He took it from her and switched on the tv.

"Is this what you want?" he asked.

He received a happy bark from her. He flicked through channels until Wick repeatedly barked. He landed on a channel about dogs.

"How cute..." he thought.

Wick positioned herself into Andrew's lap and stared at the tv. He stroked her head and pet her back. After the program finished, she hopped off him and onto the floor. She spun around a few times before jumping into a toy box in the corner of the room. Andrew tilted his head and leaned over the box. Wick jumped out and ran to hun. He looked down and saw that she had a dog toy in her mouth. He sighed and took it from her.

"You want to play?"

Wick barked and pawed at his leg. He threw the toy across the room and she went to fetch it. She came back and spit it onto the ground. He picked it up and repeated the process a few more times.

Soon Wick started to get tired and she flopped onto the floor, beside Andrew's foot. He picked her up and walked to the couch, sitting down. He held her for a few minutes before laying down. He hugged Wick on his stomach and scratched the back of her ears, she quickly fell asleep. He smiled at her and fell asleep too.

He woke up to someone shaking his shoulders. He opened his eyes to see Victor looking down at him. He rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"W-Welcome back, Victor." he greeted.

He didn't want to sit up and wake Wick, so he continued to lay down. Victor smiled and lightly shook Wick awake. She tilted her head up and looked at him. She jumped up into his arms and licked his face.

"Looks like somebody is happy to see me." Victor laughed, cuddling Wick. "Were you a good girl for Andy?"

Wick responded with a happy bark. Andrew stood up and leaned against Victor's shoulder.

"She was very playful and we watched tv together. It was quite cute..." Andrew explained.

Victor giggled and hugged Wick tighter. Andrew looked around nervously and kissed Victor's cheek. He turned his head away and blushed.

"S-sorry about that but thank you for allowing me to take care of her..." he stuttered, scratching the back of his head.

"You're so cute!" Victor laughed. "I'm happy that she was glad to play with you."

He rested Wick back onto the couch and hugged Andrew.

"You should come back tomorrow, I don't have to deliver any letters so we can just hang out at my house!" he grinned.

"Of course I! I-I will definitely come tomorrow." Andrew promised.

Victor stood on his tip-toes and gave him a peck on the lips. Andrew's cheeks flushed red and his hands trembled. Victor giggled and held his hands.

"Well then, I'll see you tomorrow, I love you!"

Andrew nodded.

I.. I love you too... Goodbye."

He quickly opened the door and scurried outside. Once he got home, he entered his house and sluggishly lay down on his couch. He covered his face with his hands and opened his phone.

He sent a message to Victor.

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow ;)"

He panicked when he realized he sent the wrong, as he calls it, face emoticon but immediately received a response.

"Me too, Andy ;)"

"Dammit Andrew, you idiot..." he said to himself, laughing quietly.
