ling ling and qing qing

warnings: none

(black glasses p.o.v.)

i came walking home after a long day of rehearsals when i came across a newly opened pet shop by the cafe eddy and i go to all the time. i stopped at the front of the store when my eye caught sight of a small, beige colored puppy running around in circles. "eddy would love that."  i thought. my mind starting drifting off to the thought of eddy playing around with a puppy. adopting a puppy wouldn't be such a bad idea. sure, its a big responsibility and all but it shouldn't be too hard. i went into the shop to adopt it. eddy will probably freak out, but i decided to go for it anyways.

"you remind me so much of brett" i said out loud, expecting no response except the silence of the living room and the soft c sharp humming from the fridge. "so cute."

i looked down at my lap to watch the small animal peacefully sleep as i continue to pet the soft fur. i tried not to move around too much in fear of waking up the tiny kitten. the warmth of it's body felt so comforting and the soft breathing was enough to send me to sleep. it's been a tiring day. no, scratch that, it's been a tiring last few months ever since the twosetviolin world tour ended. finally, after weeks of being sleep deprived, fueled by coffee, and performing endless concerts, i could finally relax and rest. ignoring my desperate need for sleep, i quickly shook off the sleepy feeling to look at the time on my phone. 

"5:47" 

"brett should be home soo-" i mumbled to myself as i felt my eyelids drooping, failing to stay open.

i suddenly woke up from my nap hearing the  front door unlocking. "brett must be here"  i began to get up before remembering that there was a tiny ball of fur curled up on my lap. "guess i can't get up."  i was about to shout at brett to come quick to the living room to see what i got for him when i heard a bunch of loud shuffling, more than what i usually hear when brett arrives home. "weird." i would have gotten up to check, but i don't want to disturb the kitten. 

"hey eddy." brett greeted as he walked into the living room. his facial expression changed as he saw what was on my lap. 

"hi brett, look what i got." i replied with a smile. brett carefully placed down his violin case and something else behind the couch as he walked closer to me looking confused. 

"is that a..." he began to ask. i nodded. 

"i got us a kitten." i laughed softly. 

"so this was your surprise that you just had to call me about in the middle of rehearsals." brett continued. 

"you told me that was your break time." i answered while punching him softly on his arm.

"haha yeah i know." he laughed. "i got a surprise for you as well!" he got up from the couch to retrieve something behind it. he brought out a pet carrier and it was my turn to be confused. he opened the metal gate revealing a small creature crawling out. 

"oh my god, you got us a puppy?!" i almost yelled with a wide smile on my face. the puppy had beige colored fur and dark brown eyes. "looks sorta like a golden retriever."

brett looked at me with a grin. "yup, it reminded me of you so i just had to get it haha." 

"no way!!! did you get it from that new pet shop?" i asked. 

"yeah i did, i'm surprised you aren't freaking out about this." he answered with a slight chuckle. 

"why would i freak out about this? two bananas are better than one, just like how two pets are better than one." i replied. brett let out a huge laugh. 

"nice reference there." he said as he crouched onto the white floor and pulled the puppy to his lap to play around with. the two of us sat together in the silence, admiring the two pets we now both own. i decided to take out my phone and snap a photo of brett holding the small puppy. "so adorable." i assumed brett might want to keep this photo or post it on instagram for our fans to admire so i sent it to him. 

"have you given it a name yet?" i asked as i put my phone away.

"no, have you?" brett asked, petting the puppy's stomach.

"nope. i was going to wait till you came home to name it." i answered. 

"how about after a composer like mozart or tchaikovsky?" brett suggested. 

"nah, too cliche." i replied. "how about something related to twoset?" brett nodded as a sign of confirmation.

"oh! we could name one 'ling ling' and one 'qing qing'?" brett suggested. i immediately nodded at the idea. 

"that's perfect." i replied with a huge grin. 

"who do you want to be named ling ling?" brett asked. 

"uhm, i don't really know." i began to say. "scissors, paper, rock to see who gets to be named ling ling?" i suggested, putting out my hand in a fist. 

"scis-sors, pa-per, rock!" we said at the same time. brett put out a paper while i put out a rock. 

"woo!! ling ling the kitten and qing qing the puppy!!." i exclaimed with a wide smile.

"perfect, now time to go buy pet supplies." brett said while putting ching ching back in the pet carrier and getting up from the couch to grab his keys. 

"oh right, i forgot."
