Self Control
A/N: Upon telling my mom to give me a prompt, and in turn receiving this.
"This dog is exquisite."
If she hadn't been so absorbed in the sight that laid before her, the girl might have called him an idiot for his choice of words. But, given the current situation, all she could focus on was how badly she wanted to smoosh it against her face and that new puppy smell and oh my gosh would you look at those eyes.
They were currently standing in front of the local pet store window, and on display had to be the cutest puppy to ever have existed. Orange stripes dotted its impossibly fluffy body, and brown spots covered bright eyes. An adorable pink tongue showed as it yawned.
"Akita Inu. That's what the sign says it is." She barely registered her own words as the puppy proceeded to chew on its own foot.
"You know, I've always kinda wanted a dog..." he blurted spontaneously. But in their daze, it didn't sound spontaneous.
"And I'm sure if we pooled our money..."
"And it's not like we're not allowed to..."
Back and forth they went, neither quite comprehending the situation. All they could think was how utterly adorable that puppy was, and the overwhelming feeling that they wanted it.
It only dawned on them thirty minutes later, as they walked out of the store, what had just happened.
"Oliver, did we just buy a dog?"
"You know what, Ginger Ale? I think we did."
"Oliver, did we just buy a dog and name it Ozzy Pawsborne?" A mischievous smile adorned his lips, displaying that it had obviously been him to have chosen the name.
"What? Such an exquisite dog deserves an equally exquisite name."
She tried to hold it in, she really did. But it was all too much, the punny name, the fact that Ozzy the Dog was actually a girl, and had they really just bought a dog? And before they knew it, they were laughing, laughing so hard none of it mattered anymore, and Ginger almost missed the fact that he had, once again, called the dog exquisite. Almost.
But, of course, Oliver was still an idiot, and there was no way Ginger would miss something like that twice.
"Olive Oil, did you just call our new dog exquisite?"
