| THE LIST! 01] baby Suddenly, there's a new addition to your family! Are you expecting? Adopting? Struggling to find the perfect name for your child? Or maybe you're up at a ridiculous hour in the morning because they're crying like crazy. 02] just married Congratulations! You and your loved (?) one are about to start a whole new life together! It's time for the honeymoon... 03] house hunting Are you seeking out an apartment? A dream house? Or just any old place, as long as you're with your other? Make sure to weigh your options very carefully... 04] household chores It's time to clean/cook/garden/take care of something! Do you work together, or does one of you hide until everything is done? 05] shopping Whether it's for furniture, groceries, or something in between, shopping is something that everybody must do at some point in time! What varies is if they like it or not. 06] family vacation WE'RE OFF TO DIDNEY WOOOOOOOOORL or wherever ... well, as long as the kids are happy, right...? You may not be happy (or maybe you are), but it's mainly about ~family bonding~. 07] romantic retreat It's you and your loved one's anniversary, and you decide it's time to take some time off and take them somewhere nice, where you only have each other. 08] comfort Is somebody sick in bed? Or perhaps they just had a bad day? Sometimes, a good breakfast in bed or a home-cooked meal can really lift the spirits! Or perhaps you want to try medicine, or laughter, or something else? 09] pet Suddenly, you have another addition to the family! Is it a puppy? A kitty? A fierce dragon? Whatever it is, make sure to give it a name and to take good care of it! 10] holiday Happy birthday/New Years/Christmas/Valentine's Day/whatever! It's a very special day that only comes once a year, so make it count! 11] argument Oh, no, who left the stove on... Or maybe it's about why they were out late last night? Either way, there is a lot of tension today, and one of you may or may not be sleeping on the couch tonight. 12] making up It's time to make amends for that fight/divorce/whatever you had before! After all, you love each other... right? 13] surprise, surprise You are feeling rather loving tonight, so you want to remind the other person how much you cherish and appreciate them... if it's by something cute and adorable or hot and sexy is completely up to you. 14] proposal 15] other I know I'm forgetting like a bajillion and one different things here, so this is the option for that! |
(Aaron, OC) -- (09)
Re: (Aaron, OC) -- (09)
Boosting off the couch with the squirming cat in her arms, she poked her head around the hallway that led to the door. Her eyes flicked down to the carrier, the glimpse of scared animal within. "Dang. Uh, hang on," she dodged into her bedroom, deposited one puffed-up white cat and quickly escaped again. "You know, it doesn't count as 'followed' they're in a kennel."
Still, she couldn't help the curiosity, and crouched down to get a good peek into the carrier. "Hey."
Re: (Aaron, OC) -- (09)
"They say it's some kind of bully cross," the blonde was telling her, setting the crate down gently, "some assholes were planning on guard dogs or something, I guess, I dunno." He was kneeling before the crate, opening it up. Slipping a side bag off his arm that looked heavy with supplies, he added, "I've got most of the shit to take care of him, and he's had his first shots. Bring me some rags, would you?" He frowned, noting that the poor thing had left a mess.
Aaron crooned to the pup as he proceeded to set out a couple of bowls. Some food and water, one to each, he left the door open in case the bulky little sausage-pup wanted to come out, but at the moment he wasn't reaching any arms in.
Re: (Aaron, OC) -- (09)
She hunkered down and passed the rags Aaron's way. "You couldn't have, like, let me know, first. Val's going to flip her tiny hairy shit." Still, peering into the kennel she had to come to the conclusion, "he's cute. Stinky, but cute."
Re: (Aaron, OC) -- (09)
That said, he crooned to the pup again, holding a hand in front of the open door with a few soft grains of kibble. "Hey, little fella," he was saying, "you want to come out of that stink hole? There's food, babes, free walks... pretty much everything you'd ever want." Not that the dog would understand the words, but the soothing tone of voice seemed to be having an effect.
Eventually the pup was lured forward, though not until Aaron had asked Kay to back away for a bit. The little guy peeked out, sniffing Aaron's hand, his floppy velvet ears trembling along with the rest of him. He was more or less a shade of silvered dun, with thicker hairs along his back in a much darker, blotchy blanket... probably some kind of shepherd mix. That was going to be trouble, given their current living arrangements...
Yet Aaron was crooning encouragement and the puppy was soon eating eagerly from his hand, which was an endearing sight on its own. "That's my little stinker," Aaron praised, moving his hand closer to the bowl. The pup was following, cautious but hungry, and willing to believe that the blonde had his best interests at heart.
Re: (Aaron, OC) -- (09)
"This one's gonna be a monster," she pointed out pragmatically, and groaned. "That'll be fun. If he starts tearing the place up, I'm putting that on you. He really should be at a place with a big backyard..." It wouldn't be enough just to sneak him out to the country now and then, as she could do. Still, she couldn't begrudge the puppy himself. Kay rehad backed off obligingly, but she still talked at the dog gently, softening her own tone to something gentler than she'd been using on Aaron. "Hey, monster. We should probably be friends, you and I."
Re: (Aaron, OC) -- (09)
Sighing, Aaron mopped up what he could, telling Kay, "I had a good long talk to some of the ladies working at the shelter. He's been enrolled in some puppy training classes and I've already downloaded a good amount of literature on taking care of the big kind of brutes," he tapped his temple with his clean hand, grinning wryly in Kay's direction. "But the space is probably still going to be an issue..." He stood after a moment, adding, "not like we couldn't use a little more space in general, though." Living on the seventh floor of a downtown apartment in the middle of a metropolis was all well and good for twenty-somethings kicking around, but he had always preferred owning more, when he could!
He rinsed out the cloth in the sink, coming back after a while, sitting with the puppy. "So, I was thinking 'Vanar', but I just wanted something to compliment the cat."
Re: (Aaron, OC) -- (09)
She hadn't disturbed the pup when he'd gone back to eating, even in the interests of making friends. She'd just sat, treating it like she treated any new cat in her life -- the pup'd come to her when he wanted, although there was a significant chunk of her that wanted to play with those ears.
The thought of moving out of the apartment, though, set her to some thoughts that weren't entirely comfortable -- but then weren't entirely uncomfortable either. It wasn't like their odd dalliance hadn't been going on for a couple of years now, but then in the lifespan of an elemental a couple of years was small change. She sat back and regarded the man, once he'd returned, her look funny and wry. "You know, you could have just asked."
