✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵ A weight could be felt on the bed, the dog no longer yipping or jumping. Instead, she plopped herself onto Ethan's lap, settling happily against him and curling up. A large hand touched Ethan's back, the blonde it belonged to leaning close to kiss the brunette's temple. " Because we love you," he said quietly, his hands dropping beside him and his golden eyes never once faltering in their steady gaze.

Mayah Playah And with that, I go to bed! ๑۩۞۩๑ Σthan ωilhelm  Ethan lifted his head when he felt the bed shift and saw Lock staring at him with loving, loyal eyes. The Texan sat in silence for a moment, switching from staring at one eye to the next. They went through so much together - Lock's "death", Fredrich and Ellery's jealousy, their switches in personalities, Lock's crazy stalker(s), and even a bloodthirsty author. Even through all of that Lock still loved him, and he would keep doing that even if the brunette broke down each day in front of him. His lip began quivering as the weight of it all crashed down on him, and Ethan hung his head to cry again. He'd get better, he'd get back to his normal self!

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵Lock scooted closer, wrapping an arm loosely around Ethan's shoulders and getnly tugging him a little closer to him. He leaned his head to the side, resting it on top of Ethan's as his other hand picked up the small puppy and set her behind them on the bed. After about ten minutes, Lock finally spoke again. " Why don't you take a nap, and I'll take care of the puppy?" He ignored the yipped protest as the dog tried to burrow her way back onto Ethan's lap, wanting nowhere else to be.

๑۩۞۩๑ ๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ " No, wait." Ethan sniffed and took the puppy. " Let me see her for a minute." He lifted her up a little to get a look at her small face again, only this time with a clear mind. She was a cute dog, and she had the biggest, most affectionate eyes. They almost reminded him of Lock's when there was something he wanted. " She's got orange fur." he noted as he set her on his lap and started scratching the back of her ears. " Why don't we call her Clementine?" he suggested and looked back up at Lock with a small smile. It wasn't his usual bright, dumb smile, but it was a lot better than his fearful frown.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵The puppy barked as she was taken from Lock, her tail wagging as she barked again, this time happily, at Ethan. Her tongue stuck out as she panted, her tail wagging so hard so that her lower body was shaking from side to side. Once set down and feeling herself scratched, the puppy tilted her head up into Ethan's hand and kept on wagging. " That's the perfect name for her," said Lock, leaning down to press a kiss to Ethan's cheek. " Looks like you're her favorite. I don't blame her." He set a hand on Ethan's shoulder, then started for the other room. " I'll get her collar. We can all take a nap together."

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ Ethan smiled at the kiss and watched Lock go before looking down at the dog that cherished each and every touch. He let out a small chuckle. " No matter what I say, you'll just keep trying, won't you?" he muttered while he started rubbing Clementine's belly.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵Clementine barked and flipped upside down so that her paws were int he air, kicking a little as her belly was rubbed. She loved it when she was given attention, and to have this human happy at the same time was all she could ask for. As a runt, she wasn't meant to have much of a life, but she liked where she'd ended up. No complaints, at least. The other teen walked in, thin collar in hand. " We'll get the tag engraved tomorrow," he said, handing it to Ethan.

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ The Texan took the collar with a nod and put it on Clementine. It was hard since his finger wasn't fully functional yet, and after a few fumbles he finally managed to snap the item together. " When'd you get her, anyway?" he asked while observing the tag on Clementine. " The school won't be mad at us, will they?"

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵" Earlier this week. I managed to talk Miss Mayazaki into letting me keep her," he said, sitting beside Ethan and scratching under her chin. " She said that after all we've been through, she understands why we'd need her. Besides, I think little Clementine here would throw a total fit if she had to leave you." He chuckled, then shook his head. " She really loves you, Ethan. I honestly didn't expect her to imprint on you this strongly."

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵" It means that she sees you as a parent as a way to cope with leaving her mother." He picked the puppy up, falling back onto the bed and setting her on his chest. He pet her slowly, staring up at the ceiling. " It's a good thing. It means that she'll remain loyal to you and follow you around everywhere. You're more or less her mama."

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ " Her mama, huh?" Ethan leaned back until he was laying besides Lock, one hand on his own stomach as he looked at the ball of fur curled up on the blonde's chest. He wasn't really sure he could be trusted to take care of a living creature right now, but he was sure Lock would be there to help him. " You were with her before me, though. Why didn't she imprint on you?"

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵" She did, but not as strongly as on you. I guess it was your aura." He shrugged, and the puppy shuffled a little closer to his head, resting over his heart and letting herself fall asleep to the thumping of his heart. " You give off that sort of vibe that she can sense. Dogs are very interesting creatures."

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ " Aura? What aura? I don't think I have a very good one right now." Ethan snorted while still looking at Clementine. She was so cute, curled up like that. Somehow, seeing her on top of Lock made him look a lot more masculine. Maybe it was because of the comparison. " I wonder if she can see my shadow." he mumbled. What did it look like? Must not be scary if she barely reacted to it.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵He shrugged again. " Probably. Dogs have a second sense about that kind of thing." Lock looked up at Ethan, smiling a little. " I'm glad you like her. I picked her because she reminded me of you."
