the one for me - benjey

part 17 - our family.

Benji pov

It's been a week since jey and I moved in together. It been the best time of my life.

Right now I'm cooking the both of us breakfast while my loving boyfriend is sitting on the counter, doing nothing.

"Baby can you get me the salt?" I ask while flipping the egg on the frying pan in front of me.

"Sureeeee," he replies groggily.

Once he hands me the small bottle, I shake some on the egg along with pepper, and transfer it to a plate next to me. I repeat this process three more times some we both get two eggs.

I also make some toast and sausage to go along with the egg. We take our plates and sit at the table next to each other. As we're eating, jey rests his head on my shoulder.

"I have an idea," I announce.

"What?" Jey asks from my shoulder.

"We should get a puppy."

"Today?" His head shoots up.

"We have nothing else to do."

"Wait, are you actually serious right now or is this some kind of cruel joke because if you're joking I swear benjamin krol I will chop your d-"

"I'm not kidding," I say with a laugh. "Now finish eating, I'll be getting ready.

Jeyjey pretty much shoves his last few bites of toast down his throat (he's good at that😉😂), and follows me in the bedroom, almost slipping on the hardwood floors. We both throw on the most random things we can find and are out the door in less then 5 minutes.

We drive to the nearest pound, in search for out dream puppy. We walk in, greeted by a nice lady behind the counter.

"Hello, my names Sharon. How can I help you?" She asks.

"Well we were looking to adopt a puppy." I say.

"Well then, you're in luck because we had a little of puppies come in earlier this week. They're adorable and there's only a few left. Just walk over to that entrance and somebody will take care of you guys." She explains.

"Thank you so much!" I say, following her instructions, and walking to a large door, pushing my way through, Jorge close behind.

We are met by again, a woman, probably around the same age. I give her a friendly smile and she introduces herself.

We talk for a bit before she takes us into another room. This room is full of puppies in their crates. There's actually not very many, which I guess is a good thing.

"This is the litter that came in earlier. There's two here but actually only one left. This ones already adopted." The woman says as she points at one of two identical eyes puppies.

Nobody is quite sure what breed they are but they look to be some kind of lab. They have a medium brown color and the bluest eyes. Their hair is quite curly and adorable.

"Why hasn't the last one been adopted yet?" Jorge asks.

"Well the thing is, he was, but he was sent back because there's this cat who the litter came with. It's a girl, about 6 months old, and this puppy, we call him Finn, is really attached to her. He tried to run away and it was to much on the previous people who had adopted. There's always options for puppy training to make sure that doesn't happen with you guys," she explains.

"Or we can just adopt the cat to? The more the merrier, right?" Jorge asks, giving me puppy dog eyes.

"I can't say no to those eyes, jey, and you know that."

"So why do you think I'm doing it?"

"Ugh, okay. We can adopt both."

"Oh my gosh I love you benji," jeyjey announces, wrapping his arms around me.

"I'll go get her, you guys can go wait in that room over there." The woman says, pointing to a door on the wall.

We walk through the door to a pretty much empty room, and sit on the floor. Finally, the same woman brings in Finn along with a small cat, and leaves once again. The cat is a light gray with some white in numerous spots. Unlike the short-haired dog, she has long, wild hair. And very big ears. It's adorable.

The two stick together as they approach us carefully, but once they get comfortable, the run into our laps, jumping around and playing. I look over to see a happy as ever jey petting the small cat who has fallen asleep on his leg.

We both make it eye contact. "Benji I love them," he says to me.

"Me too. We're getting them."

We both smile big, and pick up the small creature in our arms. We walk over the the lady, who is giving the other animals some food.

"We would like to adopt both."

*time skip cause I don't know how adopting animals works lol*

We arrive home from the pet store, the two animals in jeys arms while I carry all the their new stuff into the apartment. Jeyjey sets them both on the floor as they run around to explore.

I set up their food bowls and beds. I also make each of them a small toy area, only with two toys each so far. Jey and I plop down on the couch, snuggling into each other as the two little connected-at-the-hip rascals run over to us. Jey picks up Josie, the kitten, and I pick up Finn.

They both suggle up into our laps and we smile at each other.

"Baby, this is the beginning of our family," i say quietly.

"Our family," he responds.
