AMACon 3: Oikos (30 Day Drabble Challenge)

Day 1 - Date Night

Master is pacing around the room again. Philip thought to himself.

This is becoming a daily occurrence. Every time his master's mate visits them, Philip would see his master, Alden Richards, bounding out of bed before the crack of dawn. He was like a ball of energy, showering him and Globie with with kisses.

His master suddenly stopped. I wonder what's wrong? He looks quite worried. His master then shook his head and then patted his pants, slipping his hand in his pocket.

After a few moments, he looked at his watch before pacing again.

Calm down! You look fine. Philip wanted to tell him. His mate didn't even care. She seemed content to just be with him whenever she visits. She didn't care if he was just wearing shorts and a shirt. In fact, Philip doesn't see why they need to wear so much. Those so-called clothes are nuances. Honestly.

The doorbell rang and Philip could not help bark. Though knew that it was more than likely his master's mate and his friend Nini, he didn't want to be too complacent. It was a dangerous world out there.

His master immediately rushed to the door but not before checking his reflection in the hallway mirror. He smiled, the dimple on his left cheek deepening.

"RJ! It's me!" A voice from the outside the door called out.

That's master's mate! Philip barked and playfully jumped up and down.

"Wait lang, Menggay!" His master opened the door, stepping aside to let his mate and her dog Nini to pass. Yay! Nini's here. I don't have to spend the whole night watching master and his mate!

His master's mate slipped inside, closing the door smoothly behind her.

Impulsively, his master's mate grabbed his master and hugged him close. Here they go again.

"I missed you," his master's mate whispered. His master smiled at her and then pressed a kiss on her forehead.

"I miss you too, Menggay. Let's eat?"

His master's mate pulled away from him, slapping his chest with a laugh. His master seemed to love that.

"Ang takaw mo talaga, RJ! Kapag ikaw tumaba..."

"Iba ka kasing mag-alaga eh."

"Tse! Iyung mga banat mo ha!"

"Bakit?" His master asked with a smirk.

"Basta! Ay. I have to say hi to Philip pala!" His master's mate beckoned to him and he immediately walked over to her. Philip stood on his hind legs and wagged his tail.

"Hello, Philipppppppppp!" His master's mate patted him on the head. "Dito muna kayo ni Nini ah? Kakain lang kami ni RJ."

Philip barked twice before moving towards Nini who was just observing her mistress. He barked once at her but Nini ignored him and bounded off after her mistress.

Is Nini tired? Oh well. I guess I'll just watch master and his mate again tonight. Philip thought to himself before going after them.

A few hours passed.

Philip padded through his master's room, taking notice of Nini who was laying on a corner, already fast asleep. She eventually paid attention to him when she realized that her mistress will not take her eyes off her mate. They ran around the house, barely avoiding the figurines that Alden's lola placed on the floor.

Meanwhile, Nini's mistress was curled into his master on his bed. Philip watched his master reach out and brush a lock off his mate's face, an ecstatic and content smile on his face.

Hmm. Something changed. His master has always been happy...but he looks even more so now. His first instinct was to jump on the bed to know what's going on but be decided against it.

Nini's mistress mumbled his master's name and his master's smile grew bigger. Philip could tell that his master wanted to wake her up again though he just chose to place his arms around her, pulling her tight against his body.

While his master and his mate were eating, Nini asked him if he'll be okay if they decided to live together. They both knew that it was only a matter of time. After all, they are practically at each other's side since he met them.

Now, Philip knew that people would be surprised but he didn't mind living with Nini and her mistress. He didn't know much about what they do outside the house, or what their feelings are, but he could tell that they are happy together.

They always have the expression of people that my master's father watches on the television. Those who usually ended up kissing.

Philip eventually grew tired of watching them, deciding to move away and settle beside Nini. He'll tell Globie about everything that happened today tomorrow...especially the shiny thing that his master placed on his mate's left hand.
