for the past few months, philip has been showing me pictures of dogs, and (not so) subtly dropping hints that he wants a dog. so that's how i'm inside of a pet adoption center with my arms crossed and a neutrally annoyed expression as i watched philip happily stroll down aisles of animals.
don't get me wrong, i love dogs and such. i think that they're one of the most precious things to walk the earth, besides philip. i'm just not up for taking care of one at the moment. but philip was, and getting him a dog would make him a very happy boy. and i liked seeing him smile. so after very much internal debate, i reluctantly took philip to the local pet adoption center.
my neutrally pissed expression faltered when i saw philip cooing at different types of dogs, letting them sniff at him. philip finally chose a pup after what felt like forever, and came back with a small, fluffy, brown and white corgi in his hands.

"that's the one you want?" i asked, observing the puppy. it looked like it wouldn't be annoying, so that was good for me. it reminded me of philip a bit. small, pure, and adorable.
philip nodded, petting the baby in his arms as the both of us walked up to the front desk to fill out paperwork.
as soon as we walked outside, philip squealed happily, "thank you so so much, lukey!"
philip only occasionally called my lukey, but i didn't really mind. if it was all the time i think i would hate the nickname even more.
"i just like to see my boy happy," i replied with a small lopsided smile, only to get a kiss on the cheek from philip.
"what do you wanna name it?" i added on, getting on my motorcycle. we really didn't think this through with the dog.
"hm. . ." philip thought, putting his helmet on with one hand, "i'll figure it out at home."
"you make sure you hold on to me and that dog extra tight," i said before putting my own helmet on, and starting up the motorcycle.
once we finally reached philip's house, safely might i add, philip hastily took off his helmet and rushed inside, the corgi still securely in his arms. i followed philip soon after, and closed the door behind me once i got inside. i looked up to see the small corgi running in a circle around philip, but was stopped when he picked him up.
"nub!" philip happily exclaimed, looking at me.
"what?" i was slightly confused.
"his name is nub!"
i face palmed before replying, "you're naming him nub?"
"shut up, it's a cute name," philip replied, lightly punching my arm.
"anywho," i slowly said, "do you like him?"
"i love him, thank you babe," philip put nub down and let him run wherever before walking over and kissing my cheek.
just then, nub happily ran around the both of us, peeing as he did.
"nub, what the fuck?!" i exclaimed, looking at the circle of pee.
"oh shush, he's just excited," philip shrugged.
