First Meeting
631 words
Grey lay sprawled across the couch, mindlessly scrolling through his phone as explosions blasted away on the tv. He was vaguely aware of barking, but with a puppy, there's always barking. Two more hours until Mirella gets home, just need to successfully waste time until then, and bam. Party time. As his fingers swiped away at the screen, he debated what they could do tonight. Definitely go out. Dinner maybe? A club? He began to second guess himself though, maybe they should stay in and have a romantic dinner at home? Options, options, options... Suddenly his phone was making noise, and his attention focused back onto the rectangle in his hand. He had scrolled onto a video, people trying to catch some weird bipedal spiky-tailed thing that apparently didn't want to be caught. He gave a laugh as he watched in genuine amusement as the bipedal creature speed-walked as fast as its awkwardly shaped body could go away from the people trying to catch it. The more he watched of the spunky creature, the more drawn to it, no, Her, he felt. He mulled it over for a second before tabbing out of the video and sending a text to his girlfriend. "Mire, you want to grab dinner and then maybe go check out some cute critters after work?" He knew she wouldn't see it until later, but he already knew her answer would be yes. With that, he decided to spend the next two hours researching these so called "Skepluvia".
Two hours and a lovely dinner later, the duo wandered around a property full of skepluvia. "You still haven't told me what brought this on." The art teacher said, her gaze wandering from a mother and ritten pair to her partner, curiously. "You said you didn't want anymore pets for now." The man gave a shrug, unwilling to admit how bored he'd been waiting for her to get home. "My sister sent me a picture of one." He lied, earning a light "ah" from Mirella before her attention was once again back on the bipedal animals. Suddenly he heard a familiar sound and he took a sharp left, his pace picking up as he followed it. Within moments he was at a fence and there in all her glory was the skepluvi from the video, the chaotic, mischievous girl. Rampaging at a slow shamble across the field in an attempt to once again escape her handler, who somehow looked both amused and tired. As he stared at the red and white beauty, he became more and more sure that she was the one. She needed to come home with them. He suddenly became aware of the panting woman at his side, his girlfriend glaring at him lightly chided, "Why'd you suddenly take off? This place is too big for that..!" "Sorry Mire, I thought I heard something." He said, offering a smile. "Soo.. What do you think about this one?" At his words, her eyes averted from Grey's face and instead towards the skepluvi, still on her mission but now heading towards them. "She looks energetic and fun. I think the dogs would like her.. And she's so pretty." Mirella replied. Grey nodded his agreement, his eyes fixating back on the queen just in time to witness her skidding to a stop as she reached the fence, studying the two humans. Slowly, Grey reached his hand out and touched the bridge of the queen's snout, watching her blink her confusion at the new faces before leaning in closer to study them, allowing his hand to slide up her face and along the top of her head. Mirella bit back a giggle as she spoke softly. "I think she likes us, too." "Is that a yes, Mire?" "It is a yes."
