Warnings: some super cute and fluffy puppies
Walking into the small studio with his manager, Chris repeated his little mantra in his head.
'Don't adopt another dog, don't adopt another dog'
This was the first interview in a long while that he was actually excited for. It was also one that he's been waiting for years to do and the only time he's wanted to give up an afternoon for an interview.
As the small production team got ready and told Chris exactly what was going to happen but he could barely focus. Just listening out for the excited yaps of the dogs he'd yet to meet.
Finally they told him to get in position, siting down on the floor passing him a couple of toys. He sat cross legged waiting patiently when finally a couple volunteers brought out the puppies.
They was a mix of different breeds, a couple mutts, a Dalmatian and a golden retriever. Chris instantly smiled as they put them down, the puppies running to the toys, the golden retriever going for the one Chris held, plopping itself down in his lap.
"Oh this one is my favourite already" Chris laughed as it played in his lap, rolling onto its back for belly rubs.
He then felt one of the puppies tugging the back of his shirt, looking over his shoulder he sees the Dalmatian playing tug of war with his shirt. He laughs reaching behind him to grab the puppy and bring it back round the front.
"Why don't you play with this buddy" Chris smile holding out the actual tug of war toy, the puppy thankfully going for that instead.
"Chris" his manager calls out grabbing his attention.
"The question" she prompts but Chris looks back at her confused.
"There was a question?" He asks surprised looking over as the crew, scratching a puppy behind the ear.
"Yeah, did you enjoy working with the Russo brothers again outside of Marvel?" one of the crew asked chuckling.
"Yeah it was great, I mean they're- oh yes hello you're very sweet aren't you" Chris says getting distracted by the retriever puppy climbing up his chest and licking his chin.
"They're great at what they do, and it's always nice having a friendly face on set when it's a brand new cast you've never really worked with before" Chris continues picking the puppy up and lying it back down on his lap.
"Did you find you had any similarities to your character Lloyd?" They ask him making his laugh.
"God I hope there isn't any similarities" he laughs bouncing one of the balls making the two mutt run after it.
As the interview went on Chris ended up shifting so he was lying down on his side, playing with the puppies, answering questions when he remembered to.
The little golden retriever never left his side, currently sat by his shoulders nuzzling its snout into Chris' chin. The other three played around him, more interested in each other and the toys than they were with him. Only using him as a surface to play and jump over. Not that he minded, he loved every second, watching them play.
As the interview began to close up, he sat back up, picking the retriever puppy and holding it close to his chest. He tried to round up the interview but he couldn't as the puppy continually tried to lick his face.
"These are all up for adoption aren't they?" Chris asks the crew, who all nod.
He glances over at his manager who rolls her eyes knowing exactly what he was thinking. Once the interview was finished the handlers came in the collect the puppies but Chris asked to keep hold of the retriever.
"Would I be able adopt this one?" He asks one of the volunteers.
"Yes of course! We'll get some paperwork sorted for you" the volunteer smiles excitedly.
"That's great thank you so much" Chris smiles gently stroking the puppy's head.
He grabbed his phone from his pocket and instantly FaceTime'd you. Holding the puppy so it was in view.
"Hey I'm guessing the interview went well" you chuckle once the call connected.
"Well I enjoyed myself, I don't know if I answered any questions properly" Chris shrugs, smiling when the puppy wiggled in his arm.
"Any particular reason you're holding that puppy as you're calling me?" You smirk knowingly.
"Yeah I thought you'd like to know you won the bet, I'm not leaving here without this little guy" Chris smiles down at the puppy, who licks his chin.
"I knew you wouldn't be able to leave without one, he seems cute, I can't wait to meet him" you smile.
"He's very cute and very affectionate, lets just hope dodger doesn't get jealous" chris chuckles making you laugh.
"He'll be fine, the best big brother ever" You tell him with a smile.
"I better go, got some paperwork to sign, see you later sweetheart" Chris smiles.
"See you both later" You chuckle before the calls end.
The puppy shifts in chris' arms so its paws resting on his shoulder, its snout nuzzling his ear making his laugh.
"The best bet I've ever lost" Chris chuckles kissing the top of its head.
