The Stray (Immortalfox)

Chapter 3 Play Time

Eddie's P.o.V.

I watched Aleks play with the toy I threw, he playfully growled every time I took it from him but he didn't bite me. I chuckled and watched as he nudge my hand. I petted his ears and smiled "master can I sleep with you?" I blushed and said "sure, but..." Aleks jumped on me and hugged him saying "rarhff, master!" I giggled and felt his tail wag. He let go and ran upstairs, I giggled and patted my thigh calling Chef.

Aleks P.o.V.

I stretched and laid down on his bed, then I heard him walk in and smelt Chef with him "master," "Aleks just call me Eddie" "but your my master" I pouted while he got under the covers "sh, now go to sleep Aleks" he patted my head and I nudged his hand, getting closer to him falling asleep.

The next morning I woke up smelling food, I got up and went to the living seeing Eddie cooking, I walked next to him and watched what he was doing "morning Aleks" "hi master" I smiled and sat down on the floor nudging my head against his leg which made him giggle. "Aleks" "yes master?" "Why don't you go play while I make your food" I kept rubbing my head against his leg and said "but master i wanna stay by your side" he giggled and handed me a piece of bacon "go on" I ate it and licked his hand crawling to the basket full of dog toys, I got out a squeaky toy and played with it.

After a couple of minutes Eddie called me over saying "come Aleks your foods ready" I wagged my tail and walked over to him, he putted some bacon and a pancake infront of me while he poured dog food into Chef's bowl. I took a bite out of a piece and started eating what was on my plate. After I ate I was petted by Eddie while he watched a tv show, I smiled and curled next to his side laying my head on his thigh "Aleks do you wanna go to sleep" Eddie rubbed his index finger and thumb against my ears and I yawned saying "no I'm fine, and master thank you for finding me, I would've been alone and cold without you." I licked his cheek and he giggled.

Eddie P.o.V.

I looked at Aleks who was laying his head on my thigh, I looked at his face and saw he was sleeping. I giggled softly and picked him up carrying him upstairs in my room, laying him down on the bed "m-master" I heard his sleepy voice say "yes Aleks?" "aren't you gonna lay down with me?" I moved some hair out of his face and said "I will but let me go shower first ok?" He nodded and curled up into a ball while I walked to the bathroom shutting the door. I stripped my clothes and turned the shower on, I walked in and felt the warm water hit my skin, it was relaxing. Then I started to think about Aleks and my feelings for him.

Do I love him?
