JACKSON'S POV

"DRACO!" I yell from the bottom of the stairs. "COME DOWN HERE!" I shout. My ears prick as a thud echos around the house. I hear footsteps rush down the stairs. He comes around the corner and I can see he is wearing a blue hoodie. My eyes nearly pop out of my head.

"What?" He snaps at me. I rush up the stairs and stare him right in the eyes.

"Your wearing a hoodie." I tell him and his face immediately flushes a scarlet red.

"Oh." He says, pushing past me, walking down the rest of the stairs.

"No, Draco. You look absolutely wonderful!" I tell him, stumbling down the stairs. I rush over to him and wrap my arms around his waist from behind, sticking my hands in his hoodie pocket. I nuzzle the back of his neck and take a deep breath. "And you look very comfortable." I add in a whisper.

"I feel quite comfortable." Draco states, putting his hands inside his pocket.

"Anyway, I called you down here to ask you an important question." I tell Draco, walking around him so I can look at his face. His eyes are looking at me with slight fear.

"Is it bad?" He asks hesitantly.

"No Draco, it's not bad." I tell him, wrapping my arms around his waist and pulling him as close to me as possible.

"I have something to say as well." Draco tells me, a small smile forming on his lips.

"Okay, how about we say it at the same time?" I ask him. He scoffs.

"Why would we do that?" He asks unimpressed.

"Because it's fun." I state. "On the count of three."

"One." He rolls his eyes.

"Two." He wraps his arms around my neck.

"Three." He leans in toward my ear.

"I want a pet."

"Can we get a dog?" We both say at the same time. A big huge grin breaks out across my face and I see him smile as well. "You, Draco Malfoy, want a pet?" I ask him, raising an eyebrow.

"Indeed I do." He tells me. "You want a dog?" He asks me, nose scrunching up in disgust. I nod my head excitedly.

"Yes, I do indeed want a dog!" I tell him, pulling him into a tight hug, which he returns.

"Well then what are we waiting for?" Draco's whispers in my ear. He grabs my hand and quickly pulls me towards the front door, not even caring he's wearing a bright blue hoodie out in public.

And that's how Draco and Jackson made one of the best decisions of their lives.
