By the end of the movie all the popcorn was gone and the dog had moved his head so it was laying on Kellin's thigh. The human has been petting the dog through the movie and when Kellin had to sit up the dog let out a groan of discomfort.

The boy giggles and smile down to the dog.

"Sorry buddy. We have to pick up our stuff."

He grabs one side of the blanket as Oli is already holding the other. Together they pick all the blankets and pillows, including the one that the dog had been laying on, and fold them. Oli carries everything in the car and leaves them on the empty space infront of the passengers seat.

When the older comes back, he finds Kellin standing infront of the trunk and the dog standing on it shaking his tail.

"Come on boy, come on, down!" Kellin pats his legs calling the dog.

The animal just stays on it's place never stoping the teil shaking. Kellin moves closer and leans a little so he is face to face with the stray dog. The dog immediately licks Kellin's face making him back away laughing. Oli smiles at the scene and walks next to his date.

"Stubborn, isn't he?" He says laughing slightly.

Kellin nods and wipes his right cheek and chin. Oli smiles down at his date and leans forward. He hugs the dog and pulls him carefully. Once the dog is away from the truck Oli places him dog. He whimpers and stands up with two legs on the ground and two on Oli.

"Sorry dog, we can't stay here forever." Oli pets the animals head before he walks away. As the animals whines and looks at them with puppy eyes, Kellin can't help but stare a little more at the homeless dog.

Oli though stares at a different sight. Across from them a man, along with what appears to be his girlfriend or date anyway, sits on his car waiting. They look like they are into some deep converasation. Oli can't make up their faces well but the man looks like he is in his late twenties, shorter than Oli probably but not too short. He has dark spiked up hair. Oli shrugs it off but keeps it in mind, just in case.

"Kells. We have to go. Come on."  The older man moves into the drivers seat.

"Yeah. Bye bubby." Kellin speaks quitly and sighs waving his hand at the dog as he enters the car. Oli glances at him as Kellin puts on his seat belt slowly. Really slowly.

"You tired?" The tattooed demon asks.

"No. I'm alright." Kellin gives him a half smile. 

"You said you used to uuum, have a...dog...right?" Oli chuckles. 

"Yes. I had a dog Kellin." Oli says knowing where this goes.

"That's really cool. Pets are...good company." Kellin pauses and when Oli doesn't respond he continues.

"But then like there are all this animals on the streets. I feel bad for them. Like I wish they had someone to love them. And a home. And food."

Kellin mumbles looking down still 'struggling' with his seat belt. Oli lets out a skeptical 'aha' and nods with his gaze on the younger boy. Kellin shrugs and finally puts on his seat belt. He looks up at the man with sad putty eyes and bites his lip.

"You know, like that little guy out there." Oli slums his hands on the steering wheel and leans back.

Kellin backs away glueing his back on the seat. His eyes widen thinking that he might have gone to far on testing Oli. Oli's shaden move came from nowhere. When the man sighs and leans forward infront of the boy's body, Kellin shuts his eyes. Oli grabs the handle of the passengers door and pushes it open. Kellin opens his eyes staring at the man. Oli looks out and back before he yells.
