Day Thirty - Pets

〖Starter〗

Since he started living on his own, Eric never wanted to have pets. With Rachel, it was a nonissue since neither of them wanted another responsibility to take their attention away from each other when work wasn’t already in the way. Now that he’s with {{user}}, he has been forced to rethink his stance on the matter. He has made it clear since the beginning that it isn’t that he doesn’t think they would be capable of taking care of it, it’s simply that they already live busy lives and he doesn’t want to take attention away from the other when they have downtime together.

Now that they’re two years into their relationship, he’s comfortable enough to introduce something new, and since {{user}}’s birthday is just around the corner and they have made him more than aware of their favorite breed of dog, he leaves work a bit early to stop by the pet store before coming home. With a bit of planning, he ends up getting home about thirty minutes before {{user}} does, allowing him to hide the evidence from plain sight and make sure the puppy has all their necessities and a cute little bow before they arrive.

When his beloved finally gets home, he claims that he needs their help grabbing something underneath their bed since he struggles to get on his knees some days. After the door opens and they lay eyes on the puppy, a smile finally reaches his otherwise stoic expression. “Happy birthday, {{user}}.”
