-Dog Café Date-

"Oh, my gosh!" 

Moonbin smiled to himself. He found that his eyes watched Dongmin's expression light up like the stars rather than paying any attention to the sound of paws scurrying over the tiled floors, as he knew he should. 

Yes, he had taken Dongmin to a dog café.

And yes, maybe he did blindfold his friend, but only so he wouldn't know where they were until the very last second.

The violet blindfold hung loosely around the older's neck, white hoodie barely hugging his thin frame. A wide smile stretched across his lips in a way it only did rarely, even his eyes twinkled. He collapsed to his knees and let the puppies jump onto him and attack his face with wet kisses. "Oh, my gosh!" he exclaimed again. His hands found their way into the fur of two of the small animals, trying to pet them as they excitedly pawed at stomach. He glanced to his friend, who had his eyes focused on him alone. "I can't believe you actually took me here! Thank you!" He picked up one of the dogs and cradled it in his arms, the animal only sticking his tongue out and smiling happily. "Thank you!"

"It's no problem." Moonbin's fingers twitched in anticipation to pet the pups, but he knew it was only polite to wait until the older got his fill and was satisfied for the time being. He flashed Dongmin a quick grin and walked towards the loveseat pushed up against the wall. He flopped down and crossed one leg over the other, taking to admiring the person he loved as he was swarmed with lively fur balls, shaking their butts to and froe. It wasn't as if he didn't enjoy sitting back and marveling at his friend, anyway. 

"Bin, what are you doing? Get over here!" Dongmin gestured at the pinkette with a wave of his hand to join him in the puppy pile. 

Moonbin shook his head, yet couldn't help the sigh of relief that came from his lips. "Whatever you say..." He reluctantly stood up from the cushioned seats and made his way back over to where his friend sat on the floor. He kneeled down next to him and ended up getting pushed over when an all too eager dog pounced onto his chest. "Hey--!" he tried, back hitting the ground with a 'thump'. The sound of Dongmin's laugh beside him made him flush as the puppy began to smother him with kisses to his forehead and crimson colored cheeks. "Hey! S-stop!" He felt the need to swat the animal away, yet his fingers only ended up treading through the soft tufts of fur. "You could always help me, you know!"

Dongmin grinned at him before turning away, as if he didn't hear the cry for help. He messed around with the few pups that hadn't already gotten bored with him and ignored his friend, who appeared to be in distress. One of the black-haired dogs rolled onto its back and stuck his paws up into the air, soft eyes gazing at Dongmin. The boy took that as a sign he wanted to be picked up and have his stomach scratched. So, the male did just that. He slid his thin fingers under the puppy and lifted him, gently cradling the animal in his arms. He ran his hand up and down the furry tummy and cooed when he got a bark of joy. 

The strings of Dongmin's heart tugged relentlessly at the adorable sight. "Oh my gosh..." he murmured. "You're so cute..."

"You're saying 'oh my gosh' an awful lo-mmph!" Moonbin's playful remark was cut short when the dog who was determined not to leave him alone attempted to lick his lips. 

"And you're looking at me fondly an awful lot. What's your point?" Dongmin chided back at him.

"My point is..." The pinkette lightly pushed the dog away from him so he could sit up. He swooped the giddy little girl up off the tile and held her in his arms. "That you love the dogs, and I love you." He grasped his puppy's tiny paw in his hand and shook it at his friend, head tilting to the side. "Do you have a problem with that?"
