A Pet To Keep

Boots with Bows

(Hey everyone! This took much longer then I anticipated and I'm very sorry. I hope your holiday was great! Mine was. But, the plot is completely worked out here. A new and important character will be introduced soon. Thanks again. If I set up a Tumblr for drawings/ doodles/ Asks for theses characters, would anyone be interested?  The boys would answer all kinds of asks, sometimes with drawings, and I'd post sketches of props, sets, and the characters.  It would be easier for me to fill gaps between chapters like that, and give more interaction with you all!

"Hey Kurt, thanks man."

"Yeah, of course, got your hands full there," The red head accepts the heavy diaper bag from Jackson's shoulder as Jay hung from the man's other shoulder.

"Oooh, my boy is getting heavy," Jack shifts Jay off his hip to his front. Jay wrapped his arms around Jack's hips.

"Heavy?" Jay tilts his head abit and pushes Jacks hair up when it fell in the man's eyes.

"Yup. But that's good. Getting all big and healthy."

"Big!" Jay throws his hands up, laughing.

"Yeah, real big." Jack sets the boy on his feet.

"Alright, not to sound like some really dumb joke, but, what are those?" Kurt cocks an eyebrow as he takes the backpack off the boy's back and stores it in a cubby beside the diaper bag.

"Oh, geez. We went to the mall this weekend, and he wanted to pet the big fake sheep in the Ugg store, and then he had to have the boots with the bows on them." Jack shrugs.

"Ahh, well that's very nice of you."

"Isn't it? I mean, they're really easy for him to put on by himself, so I'm not complaining." Jack shrugs.

"An' Soft!" Jay begins jumping around, looking down at his boots.

"Okay jumping bean, come here," Jack leans down and opens his arms. Jay laughs and jumps over, tacking Jack. "Ugghh, getting so heavy. Okay, kisses then I need to go. Be good okay?"

Jay nods and kisses Jack. "Come back fast?"

"Fast as I can. 2:30, right?"

"Right."

"Good boy, have fun and behave for Kurt." Jack ruffles the boy's thick hair.

Jack couldn't be more grateful for how things had worked out. For the past few weeks, Jay spent three days a week with Kurt at the day care, and the rest with him. Tuesday and Thursday, Jay tagged along to the studio and was a growing celebrity at the station, and online. And with things settled down, Jay was getting healthier by the day, gaining weight, hair growing in, and a lot of strong energy.

Kurt takes off Jay's leash as Jack leaves. Jay has to stand at the window and wait for the car to disappear before giving Kurt any attention.

"Okay buddy. Let's go outside for a little bit yeah?"

"San' box?" Jay takes Kurt's hand and follows him through the daycare.

"Can those boots go in the sandbox?" Kurt frowns abit. "I think they're expensive."

"San'box!" Jay nods quickly.

"Okay okay, sandbox it is." He punches in the code to the door and lets Jay out. The boy jumps across the yard, giving some pets a smile but doesn't stop till he reaches the edge of the sand box and waits for Kurt.

Jay didn't fear a lot of the other pets any longer, but hadn't show any interest in playing with any of them. Kurt was hopping to slowly coax Jay into more interactions with the other pets, but so far nothing had worked.
