It had been one month exactly since you had moved in with your boyfriend Minghao. The house had been quiet lately and you were bored out of your mind. You looked over to the clock on the wall above your TV. 3:48 it read. That meant Minghao would be back soon. He usually comes home from practice at 4:00 and you couldn't wait to see him walk through the front door. You sighed and continued to watch Spongebob on TV. You were so caught up in the episode that you didn't hear Minghao come through the door.

"Hey, i'm back." he said, laying his bags on the floor.

"Ming Ming!!" you yelled excitedly and jumped into his arms. He laughed.

"That's my little princess." he said and gave you a quick kiss on the lips. "How was your day?" he asked.

"Hm, boring. it's so quiet here without you." you replied with a pouty expression. "How was your day?" you asked back.

"Ugh hard. Hoshi has a new dance for us and it's hard. I have this large breakdancing part and i'm just scared i'll mess up..." he looked down at his feet.

"Aww! Don't be scared Minghao. I know you'll do fine!" you said and pulled him into a tight hug. He wrapped his arms back around your waist.

"Thanks y/n. You're always there for me." he said and nuzzled his head in your hair. You stayed like that for a while but then you pulled back with an idea...

"I think we should get a dog!" you said, excitedly.

"What?" he asked. "We don't have time to care for a dog y/n..."

"Well, I don't know about you, but I sure do. You're always gone and it gets really lonely here... I want a companion to keep me company when you're not home..." you pleaded.

"Ugh you know I'm a sucker for dogs... let's go." He said walking over to grab his sweatshirt.

"What?! Really?! Yay! Thank you Ming Ming!!" You ran up to him and hugged him from behind. He smiled at you.

"Alright, let's go before they close." He said, opening the front door.

"R-Right!" You said as you ran out the door. You were about halfway there when you decided to break the silence.

"What breed do we want? Big or small? A preferred color? What ag-" he cut you off.

"Woah there. Settle down y/n. We'll decide once we get there." He said, lacing his fingers with yours. The rest of the walk there was silent. You were contemplating in your head what kind of dog you would like. Once you got to the pet store, you ran in, leaving Minghao behind. You heard him chuckle as he slowly followed you in. You eagerly pressed you face to the glass separating you and the dogs, carefully looking at them all.

"How about this one?" You asked Minghao, pointing to a blue roan Australian Shepherd puppy.

"Aww that one's cute! Let's look at the rest though. We'll come back to him." He said, walking over to look at a Chihuahua puppy. For the rest of the night, you two looked at all the puppies but you really wanted that Aussie.

"How about this one?" Minghao asked.

"No, I don't like how oily Labrador fur gets." You replied.

"You must really want that Australian Shepherd y/n."

"Yeah, it reminds me of my aunt's old dog. I really liked that dog. She was so kind and caring. Even when I tugged on her fur. She never snapped at me once." You said, putting your hands on the glass. The puppy excitedly ran up to your hands and tried to get out but just ran into the glass.

"Excuse me ma'am, may we please hold this one?" Minghao asked an assistant.

"Why certainly! Lemme go get him." She went into the back room to retrieve him from his cage. "Let's go into this room." She said, leading you into a room with a door that had the top open so other people could look in. "There are some toys he can play with. Have fun!" She said and closed the door. You took a seat next to Minghao who now had the puppy in his arms. He set the puppy down and it started to run around excitedly and grabbed a toy.

"Aww! He's so cute!!" You said, playing tug of war with him. Minghao laughed,

"He is." He replied. You and Minghao played with him for a bit and he got tired. The puppy sleepily walked over to Minghao and fell asleep in his lap. Minghao gently stroked his fur, careful not to wake him up.

"He really likes you. I think he's the right one." You said quietly.

"He is..." Minghao said, still stroking his fur. "Okay little guy. Let's go." He said to the puppy. He stood up and you opened the door for him.

"Let's go get him a leash and collar and other stuff!" You said excitedly as you ran over to where they had a whole wall of collars. Minghao walked fast but still being careful not to wake the puppy.

"I think he would look good in electric blue! What about you?" You asked excitedly.

"Sure! I think so too." He said while stroking the puppy's head. You picked out a blue harness, blue collar, and blue leash. You also picked out a blue water water dish and a blue food dish. You went to the food section and picked out a 12 lb bag of puppy chow.

"Wait! y/n, take the puppy. I'll get the food!" He said, walking over to aid you.

"No i'm good Ming Ming. Plus he's sleeping and I don't want to wake him up." You struggled to get the bag to an open register but somehow managed. The cheery clerk at the register gave you a crate for the puppy and you checked out everything else. You carried the puppy and his supplies while Minghao carried the bag of food back to your shared apartment. When you got home, you let the puppy roam the house.

"What should we name him?" He asked.

"Good question..." you responded. "I like the name Kane for a puppy like him. The name sounds energetic."

"Kane? I like that. We'll go with Kane. Xu Kane will be his name." Kane came running out to Minghao and you. You giggled as he jumped into your arms. You and Minghao slept on the couch that night with Kane by your side. Never had you been happier.
