les sequelles - Eric Coulter 1

83. The Dog Who Protects

Imagine: Your boyfriend Eric not approving of you adopting a dog, but when he discovers that the dog dislikes any other guys coming near you he is completely thrilled. 

*************************************

"Eric can we please keep him? Please?!" You beg your boyfriend. You had just come back from three days of patrolling the city, on the first day of your trip you had come across a big, stray Rottweiler. The dog seemed to instantly love you because for the rest of the trip he wouldn't leave you alone, and over the course of the few days you had grown close to him as well. When it was time to come back you had brought him along with you, much to Eric's disapproval.

"Y/N, I don't want a dog running around the apartment," he says.

"Come on Eric, please," he turns back to the important file he was reading without responding to you. You feel like a small child throwing a tantrum, "please, please, please, please, please, ple-"

He cuts you off by slamming the file onto his desk, "if I say yes, will you shut up?!"

"Yes."

"Alright keep it, but if it rips any of my stuff, or takes a shit anywhere in the apartment, he's out, agreed?"

"Okay!" You say, grinning like a maniac, "Wait, Eric I have one more question, what should we name him?"

"Fuck off," he says, irritation clear in his voice.

"Fuck off? That's not a really good name for a dog. It's okay babe, I'll think of something," you know that you're really pushing your luck but you love messing around with Eric. He simply rolls his eyes and walks away.

The next few days are spent with you trying to get Eric and your unnamed pet to be friends, the dog really likes Eric, but the feeling isn't reciprocated. Every evening usually ends in Eric getting pissed off and going to bed without you, tonight wasn't much different.

You wake up the next morning and decide to take your dog for a walk, you are suddenly stopped by Four, the poor guy just wanted to have a friendly conversation but your dog just would not stop barking at him, eventually Four just gave up and decided to back off.

Zeke, who had heard a little bit of your encounter with Four walks over, "Jeez Y/N, control your dog."

You playfully roll your eyes at him but of course, your dog begins barking at Zeke as well. Zeke also decides that it would be best to just leave.

"Damn Y/N, maybe the dog isn't so bad," you turn to see Eric smirking.

"Yeah, the two of you seem to have a lot in common," you say rolling your eyes once again.

Eric takes his leash and the two of you begin waking the dog together.

"You know, I thought of a name for him," Eric says.

"Yeah?"

"Elek," He says matter-of-factly.

"Elek?"

"It means Defender in Hungarian," Erudite habits die hard. He bends down to pat Elek on the head.

"I love it!" You say grinning.
