Summary: Since he's been feeling lonely, Johnny decides to adopt a hybrid of his own to keep him company. However, you both quickly learn that he doesn't really know anything about taking care of a hybrid, and it's more like you're taking care of him.

Johnny was practically bouncing in his seat as he drove home, while you just kind of stared at him, your ears twitching with his excited noises whenever they slipped passed his lips. You were very intrigued by this human, and you thought living with him would really be...something else.

When Johnny showed up at the shelter, he seemed nice enough. You saw him as he entered where they kept all of the dog hybrids, most of them playing together in a giant huddle – both in human form and dog form – before they stopped and ran to the edge of the large space to see the new human that had come in. You, however, stayed in your own space as your eyes curiously followed the tall man that had come in with one of the staff.

Johnny had taken his time going through the shelter, observing any hybrid that caught his eye before he went to you. He offered you a warm smile, so you waved at him.

"Hi," you greeted him.

"Hey," he smiled a bit wider, happy that you'd said hello to him first.

"This is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever hybrid," the staff stated as they looked at your clipboard. "They can be a little stubborn, but they're still kind and affectionate. They just kind of think they're the boss sometimes – that's just how that breed is."

You raised your eyebrows at the staff, "I'm right here."

Johnny chuckled, "I like them."

You couldn't help but smile a little bit, hopeful that you could get out of the cramped shelter. And half an hour of paperwork later, you did. Which was how you ended up watching your owner drive you home with so much excitement, you were scared even the car would start bounding off the road.

When you finally got home, Johnny grabbed the bag of your belongings from the backseat before he brought you into the house. You looked around the room curiously as you kicked off your shoes, and the whole place just smelled like Johnny – which honestly, smelled pretty nice.

"Alright," he sighed, moving to walk ahead of you before nodding his head for you to follow, "I'll show you where you're staying."

You followed Johnny, your eyes looking around the hallways and rooms as you went. He brought you into a bedroom that looked very used with clothes thrown about, and the 'Johnny' scent growing even stronger. You assumed you would be sharing his bed, then, since you knew that was pretty typical of hybrids with their owners.

"Here you go!" Johnny grinned, gesturing to what you could only describe as an tiny, ugly carpet in the corner by the closet.

A dog bed. Johnny was going to make you sleep in a dog bed.

You looked between the bed and Johnny for a while in silence, the look on your face screaming 'you're an actual moron'. Did he really think hybrids slept in dog beds? Even at the shelter, you at least had a cot to sleep on. But forcing you to sleep in your animal form like an actual animal? Did Johnny know anything about hybrids?
