Ashton walked home with his new puppy in his arms he couldn't be happier with the gift, he just didn't understand why Luke didn't tell him about it. Luke's lucky that Ashton works as a vet so he already knows what it takes to deal with a pup. Ashton decides to dip into the small pet shop that was located by his house. He put Calum into a shopping cart and began to assemble the ingredients that he needed. Ashton noticed that Calum was antsy so he let Cal walk along by him.
Ashton was trusting the pup not to run off. First he went to the collar section grabbing a light blue for Calum and when he was going to grab a leash the puppy had a different idea. The puppy had already selected a leash that he wanted and somehow managed to grab the matching collar. It confused Ashton but he tried to take away the items and put them back but the pup wasn't having any of it. He wanted that set so he was getting it.
It really confused him as to why the puppy was so focused. Shouldn't they be more carefree at this age? He just shrugged it off and put the collar on Calum so the people in the store should know he's not a runaway. While he was getting food for him, which was quite expensive because Ashton would not be stuffing his baby with crappy food, when he noticed that the pup wasn't by him anymore. Ashton panicked a and grabbed the bag he was looking at and went to search for Calum.
But when Ashton found him he couldn't believe his eyes. Right in the middle of the toy aisle was Calum. But that's not what surprised Ashton, no Calum was sitting in a giant dog bed that he must have pulled over surrounded by a pile of toys. And as Ashton approached him he rolled over and gave Ashton the best puppy eyes he has ever seen. Ashton once again tried to put away all of the stuff because they just came here for the basics but Calum would not move.
He was being a turd and would not budge at all. Ashton just sighed and gave up. He pulled all of the stuff into the cart while Calum let out happy barks. Ashton rolled his eyes and with a 'come on you little prince' the set off to check out and stopped to make Calum a specialized tag.
------------------------------------------
They finally reached Ashton's house. It was weird that Luke lived in an apartment when Ashton offered a room in his house but oh well. At least Ashton knew he likes the states enough to actually invest in a house. He put the bags down by the front door while he pulled his shoes and jacket off. Ashton decided to wait to unpack the bags and to first introduce the new member of the family to Mr. Sniffles. Ashton scooped Calum up into his arms while calling for his precious kitty.
He heard Sniffs' coming down the stairs and heard multiple meows. He smiled at his baby, well one of his babies. He sat on the floor while explaining to his kitty who the new member was. The cat slowly crept foreword and inspected the puppy. Calum's ears picked up when he saw the cat and he went to sniff him. Ashton slowly let Calum go to see how they would react. After a while of sniffing both the dog and cat got bored of being stubborn and started playing.
Ashton just smiled at the pair and went back to the front door. He unpacked all of Calum's new toys, pulling the tags off and putting them in the toy bin in the living room. He pulled out another food dish and filled it up switching out Sniffles and putting Calum's on the floor moving the cats in the counter. He hung up Calum's leash and finally took the tag off of Cal's bed and set it up in also in the living room so he wasn't cooped upstairs. Ashton went into his room to change for bed while the animals played.
He showed Calum his bed and bid the two animals goodnight. He texted Luke about how Calum was and goodnight. He went into the bathroom to finish getting ready to clock out and when he was done he checked one last time to make sure all the necessary lights were off. He finally settled down into bed and cuddled down into his blankets. He was almost fully asleep when he felt weight on the bed. He thought it was Sniffles until he felt a kiss on his cheeks and a bigger body than a cats press against his. Calum snuggled closer to him and Ashton feel asleep with a smile in his face.
