I fluttered my eyes open, the bright light automatically pouring in. Gosh, as soon as we got back last night we came to my apartment and crashed. I wasn't even able to fully take my button down off before I laid down and fell asleep.

I slightly moaned, hating the sun at the current moment. I should really invest in some blackout curtains, would do me wonders. I looked to my side, seeing Spencer act like he's still sleeping. As I said before, he looks so pretty when he sleeps- even if he's pretending.

"I know you're awake." I smiled, and he smiled back then opened his eyes. "Was you staring at me sleeping?" I asked, and he smiled and brushed some hair out of my face.

"Was you about to stare at me sleeping?" He asked, and I softly chuckled then kissed him. "I don't hear a no." He mumbled, and I softly shoved him back and sat up.

"So staring at each other sleeping is the new watching you then disappearing behind a bus thing?" I said, and he chuckled while sitting up as well. "Sounds sexy."

"Ahh, yes. The creepy stalking is the sexiest thing ever." He said, then wrapped his arms around me and pulled me back. I yelped and laughed, and he smiled while hovering over me. "But you are definitely sexier." He smiled, and I smiled back then pulled him close and kissed him.

He wrapped my legs around him, then sat up with me on his lap. "So, what're we doing first?" He asked, and I hummed while wrapping my arms around his neck. "I can make-"

"Uh, no. You cooking? Not happening." I said, and he looked at me offended. "You burnt pasta, babe. Pasta! Be lucky I haven't told Rossi." I said, and he smiled while softly rubbing my hips. "We could go out for breakfast, though. You can chose the spot, and tell me about the history of it and whatever other information you know about the place." I said, and he softly kissed my shoulder then neck.

"You know me so well it hurts." He said, and I smiled while running my fingers through his hair. "Babe, baby, love of my life. If you keep doing that, we're gonna have a late start to our day." He said, and I smiled then pulled his head up and roughly kissed him.

"Okay, I warned you."

"Okay! Before we go in here, because I know you, you cannot adopt every cat or dog in here." Spencer said, and I huffed while stomping my foot. "We're only getting one, for now! We can get-"

"But what if they have a sibling?! We can't just take one and leave the other, that would be breaking up a family!" I said, and he sighed while looking down at me. I gasped while putting my hand on my chest, and he furrowed his eyebrows while looking down at me. "You wanna be one of those unsubs who break up happy family's because you envy them!" I said, then gasped again as he threw his arms up in defense. "I figured you out!"

"What?! No, I- Fine! Fine! If they are siblings, we'll get both." He said, and I squealed while clapping my hands. Oh my gosh yay! I'm so excited, I can't wait to get animals. If I could adopt all the cats and dogs in the world, I would be the happiest person alive. Like a huge farm with all of them living their happiest lives, a life I would enjoy.

"Okay, yay! Come on, come on!" I happily said, then grabbed his hand and pulled him into the shelter. "Hey!" I happily smiled at the girl at the desk, and she smiled back while setting her phone down. "Okay, so! Do you have any cats or dogs, that are like siblings or besties? I wanna make sure they're adopted together so they're never split apart." I smiled, and Spencer nudged me.

"What?! I didn't know you was looking for-"

I shushed him, and he quickly closed his mouth while nodding. "Oh my gosh that's amazing! An yes, we have many siblings and besties. Do you wanna look at the dogs or cats first?" She asked, and I thought about it. "Or! We have a dog and cat that became really good best friends." She asked, and I gasped and grabbed Spencer's hand.

"Take us to them now, please." I begged, and she smiled then signaled us to follow her. "This is so exciting! It's literally the best of both worlds, and! We can finally have a kid that lives past three years old!" I said, and he stopped me and looked me dead in my face. Oh, yeah, right, I forgot. "Right, trama jokes don't help, forgot." I said, then caught up with the girl.

He always has to get on me, cause I have a habit of trama dumping or making trama jokes. Sometimes it slips out, other times it's intentional. Hey, it's one way I can cope that is also funny. Well, to me, other people don't find it as funny.

"Alright, here they are." She smiled, and I saw a black kitten and Golden retriever puppy playing together in a cage. Oh my god, my heart just fell out of my asshole. This is so cute, are you kidding me. "Would you like to play with them?"

"Oh my god yes." I happily smiled, then pushed Spencer away and walked inside. "Hey booty butts." I said in my baby voice, and Spencer smiled while shoving his hands in his pockets. "Oh you are so cute!" I squealed, and they both jumped on me. "Spencer I'm gonna have a panic attack, I can't handle this. Like they're so cute, holy shit."

He softly laughed, then walked in and sat down. The golden retriever quickly jumped down, then jumped into Spencer's lap. "She loves you already!" I smiled, tears brimming my eyelids. "Baby please?! They're perfect!" I cried, and he smiled while holding the dog in his hands.

"You don't wanna look at-"

"No." I snapped, and he widened his eyes as the girl laughed. "Where do I sign the papers?!" I excitedly said, and she smiled and opened the gate.

"I'll take you to the front so we can sign some, then they're all yours!" She said, and I happily got up then sat the cat down.

"Spencer stay here while I sign the papers." I smiled, then grabbed his tie and made him look up at me. He widened his eyes, then swallowed while holding my hand. "If anything happens to them, run fast." I glared, and he quickly nodded. "Okay! I'll be right back." I smiled, then pecked his lips and let go.

"Yeah, okay." He said, and I waved then walked away. "Your new mom is a bit...aggressive. But it's hot, so who cares." He said, and I just shook my head. Why would he tell our new kids that?!

Ugh, already tryna make himself the favorite parent. So unfair.
