New Friends

"Soren I told you to pick up that fur off the couch!" Kasef yells loudly at his roommate, gesturing to the grey hairs that were lightly scattered on the couch. "Angel really needs to go to a groomer, seriously! Even my dog doesn't shed that much!"

Soren looks up from his breakfast of Lucky Charms to give Kasef a look before spooning another spoon of the sugary cereal into his mouth. "It's not my fault she's so hairy, and I did take her to the groomers the other day!"

"Well clean up her fur at least! You can make a shaggy carpet or coat with this amount of fur!" Kasef retorts and gestures to the large dog occupying a nearby dog bed. "Why did you even get a wolfhound, these things shed like there is no tomorrow!"

"Because she needed me! Also I like big dogs!"

The large wolfhound laying on the dog bed raises her head to give the two humans a somewhat annoyed look before getting to her feet and lumbered off to the next room before emerging back to the kitchens with a large leader leash in her mouth.

"Aww, does my big girl wanna go on a walk?" Soren laughs as his dog drops the leash at his feet. "Alright we'll go, we're just waiting for Enya and Amaya so we can go together."

"Not until you get a rollint roller or vacuum cleaner and clean that up." Kasef says before walking out of the room.

"Fine fine, whatever." Soren mutters as he leaves the kitchen to head to the closet and pulls a small vacuum cleaner out before he proceeds to clean up the hairs from the couch. He occasionally stops to check his phone for any messages or calls, and goes back to his work until he is sure he managed to be rid of every grey hair off the couch.

There is a loud knock from the door and Angel starts barking excitedly, along with Kasef's dog who was in another room. Soren quickly places the vacuum back in its place and dusts off the front of his shirt for any stray hairs before running a hand through his hair and opens the door.

"And how are my two favorite girls doing?" He asks when he saw who it was. Enya gave a laugh as Amaya barked excitedly when Angel approached the door with her leash in her mouth. "Someone is a bit impatient."

"It's Saturday, we always go on walks together at this hour." Enya laughs before Soren leans down to give her a kiss. "Ready?"

"Let me grab my coat and sneak one last kiss before I do that." He says, giving her another kiss before disappearing back into the apartment and emerged moments later pulling a hoodie over his head. "Ready! Bye Kasef! Don't burn the house down while I'm away because your girlfriend came over!"

"Shut up!" They hear Kasef yell back as Soren shut the door behind him and bent down to get Angel's leash on.

"You are so mean." Enya scolds as they start to walk, allowing the two dogs to lead the way.

"I'm just messing with him and he knows it." Soren laughs as he wraps his free arm around her shoulder and hugs her. "You know I'm always teasing him."

"Ever since he found his soulmate you've been teasing him." Enya points out as they start to descend some stairs.

"Hey he was just so lovestruck, it was actually pretty funny. He was such a serious guy when we first met and became roommates, so seeing him act all gushy and sensitive made it hard not to tease him about it." Soren says with a shrug before pressing a small kiss to the side of her head. "If I recall right, several months back you would get flustered when I'd tease you after we became soulmates."

"Oh hush you." Enya mutters as she swats his shoulder, but made no move to move his arm. "I still can't believe that the first words you said to me were "wanna go get nuggets?" and they turned into a bunch of wild roses."
