"Stop!" As soon as Renjun shouted that at him, the puppy tried to get past him once more.

They were currently in the bedroom, with Renjun trying to wash the puppy and the puppy trying to get away from the hell that is a bathtub.

"You can't stay here, if you're this dirty!" The boy said, trying threatening the puppy, but it's doesn't seemed to listen and the next moment he tried getting away again.

Renjun had enough. He took off his slippers and socks, rolled up his trousers and went in the bathtub, beside the dog. He got more water on himself than on the dog anyway.

He took a firm hold on it and turned on the shower, not caring about his clothes being wet or dirty from the dog anymore.

After a few moments, he turned off the shower and grabbed the shampoo. It was originally for his cat, but after several failing of washing the cat, he stopped trying.

It was a cat shampoo, but honestly, it's almost the same as a dog shampoo.

He grabbed a bucket (that he put there before he brought the dog in there) from beside the bathtub, filled it with water and poured some shampoo in it.

It's good without water too, but the dog had a lot of fur and it's better in that way. For both the dog, because like that the shampoo won't hurt his skin, and for his wallet too, because this way, he'll use less shampoo. It's quite expensive.

He deluted it with water according to the ratio on the bottle and started pouring it on the dog, little by little, while massaged it into his fur.

After that, he turned on the shower again and washed it off of the puppy.

He needed to do this a few more time, because as it turns out, the cat shampoo is more gentle than a normal dog shampoo and doesn't necessarily have the same cleaning power as a dog one does.

After he couldn't see dirt coming off of the dog, he got up slowly and climbed out of the tub.

He looked at the dog with satisfaction. Now all he could see was a big white rat.

Okay, not a real rat, but let's be real, after you wash a dog with big fur, it'll kinda look like a rat.

The dog saw that as a perfect opportunity to get the hell out of there. He jumped out of the tub and wanted to run out of the room, but the door was closed, so he ended up headbutting it. He started running around the room, trying find something that he can rub himself into.

"Oh, no! You won't go anywhere until you're dry." Renjun said, pointing at the dog and started walking to the counter, where he put some towel before he called the puppy in. Or more like tricked him, but that's not important.

As soon as he was just a meter away from the dog, the puppy started to shake himself, getting water everywhere, mostly on Renjun and the towel.

Renjun just sighed, crouched down beside the dog and started rubbing the towel across the puppy's body.

The dog was against it at first, but after some time he give up on escaping and sat down.

Renjun sat down too. He was wet from head to toe anyway. He will just throw his clothesl into the washing machine.

After what felt like 3 year, but was like half an hour, he was finally done.

He put the hairdryer back to it's place. He used it on the lowest and coldest setting he could and hold it far from the puppy to be sure not to hurt his skin.

After they were done, he opened the door of the bathroom and the puppy ran out of it, like he was being tortured in there or something.

After cleaning the bathroom and changing into his pajamas and putting his wet clothes on top of his laundry basket, Renjun went in the kitchen and grabbed a plastic bowl, purred some of his cat's food into it and put it down on the floor.
