Puppies and picnics - Moxiety

Park dates are always a good idea especially because of how many dogs are there. [Human AU] For the prompt: Moxiety playing with puppies

-------------------------------

Virgil doesn't know why he thought going on a date to the park was a good idea. Of course it was a lovely day, the sun was shining, and they had laid out the picnic blanket and started to eat their food. It was nice. Patton was smiling at Virgil in that way that melted his heart. Then Patton gasps all of a sudden, Virgil looks at him expectantly, and Patton's face breaks out into a huge grin.

"Pat?" Virgil asks, unsure of what caused his boyfriend to be like this, but Patton is on his feet quickly only to kneel down on the grass a few inches away. Virgil watches as Patton goes, confusion clear on his face until Patton is giggling slightly and yelling over his shoulder to Virgil, "Verge! Verge! Puppies!" Virgil rolls his eyes but gets up regardless, persuaded by the excitement in his boyfriend's voice and the dogs themselves.

As soon as Virgil is next to Patton he understands Patton's outburst, there's three small dogs of different breeds and next to them is their owner - or maybe dog walker he's not sure - he apologises to them, "sorry about Patton, he gets overly excited about dogs." The owner shakes his head fondly and tells him it's not a problem. "They're not dogs Verge, they're puppies!" Patton exclaims, moving from petting the two on the outside to petting the one in the middle and on the right but he keeps switching it up, Virgil knows he feels guilty for not being able to pet them all at one.

"Here," Virgil says as he starts petting the one on the left so Patton focuses on the other two, and Patton grins at him when the puppy starts nuzzling into Virgil's touch and licking at his hand. Then Virgil become acutely aware that they're taking up their owners time so stops and rises back to a stand, brining Patton with him. "Sorry again," Virgil apologises shyly, a faint flush of embarrassment adorning his cheeks. "You're dogs are so cute, you're so lucky!" Patton exclaims still hyped over petting the dogs.

The owner laughs at that and thanks Patton for the comment, then they're walking away, their three little dogs chasing around his legs occasionally. And Virgil realises how creepy it is to watch this man walk away with his dogs so he nudges Patton to follow him back to their picnic. They sit down close enough to lean on each other as they resume eating. "Sorry I got excited about the dogs," Patton apologises, resting his head lightly upon Virgil's shoulder, and Virgil replies, "don't be sorry, it was cute."

Patton turns his head slightly to beam up at Virgil who blushes in response. "Still doesn't mean we're getting one," Virgil says before Patton can ask, Patton frowns dramatically in a way that Virgil knows he's not really that upset. He won't let Patton get a dog just yet, after all it is his next birthday surprise.
