Eduardo's soft side

Small TW: Mention of bullying and low self worth

Eduardo was the big tough guy in the neighborhood who everyone -even his friends- thought it was just about impossible for him to care about anyone or anything, if he did he never said. So when he brings home a shy pup from the street that nobody wanted it was a surprise to everyone who knew him.

"Duardy! Come down stairs!"

"Ugh Jon what do you want?!"

"Mark says its your turn to do the dishes!"

If there was one thing that wasn't regular cola or Edd that he hated most it was doing the dishes.

'Oh god how do I get out of this!?!'

He really hates it. Walking down the stairs he's trying to think of an excuse to leave the house for a while.

"Or...or... I could..... go to the store???"

Jon's not buying it this time.

"Eduardo you said that last time and I only let you get away with it one time"

"Listen buddy, how about I do the laundry for you next time it's your turn to do the laundry?"

At this point Mark walks in and he already knows exactly what Eduardos trying to get out of doing

"Eduardo if you really don't want to do it that's fine but you will do something around the house to make up for it weather you like it or not"

Mark stated this with a sigh of relief from Eduardo. Mark decides to have him go shopping instead saying something about running low on a few things.

Time skip~ (cause I'm kinda lazy)

Eduardo had everything from the list Mark gave him and was walking home when he heard an odd sound, kinda like something scratching medal.

"Hello?"

He called down the dark alleyway not sure what to do. The sun was setting and he should head home but he wanted to see what made the odd noise. Peering down the alley his eyes adjusted to the dark and he saw a dog cage. The kind of thing people used to carry their pet, With a possibly deserted dog inside it.

'Why on earth are you in there?'

He couldn't help but wonder for a while. There was a dog. In a cage. In an alley all alone.
He stepped closer to it and the little guy seemed absolutely terrified.

'Why would someone do this?'

He thought about what to do for a while, this dog was thrown into this cage and left for dead. By who? Who would do this to a dog, two anyone?! He felt a lot of emotions right then, anger, sympathy for the trapped dog, hatred to whoever just left him there.
So. Many. Things. Eduardo knew he shouldn't leave the little guy there. He couldn't even if he wanted to.

"Dont be afraid, I'm going to get you out ok?"

Le Time skip~

"Guys? I'm home!

He called them as he shut the door behind him. Jon was watching Tv on the couch and Mark was coming down the stairs clearly annoyed.

"Finally! Do you have any idea how long you were-

He stopped mid sentence and just stared at what Eduardo was holding and Jon was a giggling mess, He loves animals, that and for once Mark had nothing to say.
Eduardo just wanted to get out of doing the dishes yet now here He is carrying a dog! A not taken care of dog by the looks of it.

"I found him, I love him, And if he doesn't belong to anyone I'm keeping him."

He stated as if he already made up his mind and refused to change it no matter what. That was probably true to.
