Smutty Captain Kid Headcanons - Part 2 

Summary: A collection of NSFW headcanons for Captain Kid

Genre: Smut

CW: oral sex, dirty talk, mean dom Kid, spanking, biting, spitting, rough sex, unsafe sex, Kid might be a bit toxic, threesomes

———

Gets a little too turned on if you flip him off during sex. The first time you did it, he was fucking you from behind and goading you like he usually does; unable to talk you flipped him the bird, and he came almost instantly. Is there a such thing as a middle finger kink? Because if so, he has it.

Super into sexy costumes. French maid, innocent bunny, cute sailor girl, the Gol D. Roger costume you customized to be comically inappropriate. Aside from costumes, leopard print lingerie is his favorite. 

Sounds like a feral animal when he goes down on you. Prefers to do it from behind because it seems to make you even more vulnerable. Has eaten you out on the deck of the Victoria Punk, you clinging to the wheel and keeping a lookout for any crew members, Kid shoving a finger up your ass. Eats ass, too. His favorite is the way you gasp and whine when he spits on you to lube you up. Definitely spanks you while he goes down on you, both ass and tits, and squeezes your thighs like he’s trying to rip the skin open. 

Most nights the two of you are together, it sounds like there’s a rabid dog loose in his cabin. The crew has come to accept this. 

Never leaves your nipples alone. Pinches them, squeezes them, flicks them, bites them. You had to set boundaries re: your nipples because they were raw all the time. 

Wants to hurt you, but also wants you to hurt him. Will grab your face in his massive hand and squeeze until you slap him, will spit in your mouth and swallow when you spit back, will bite the ever-loving crap out of your neck (like actually chomp down on you, no such thing as sweet little love bites), laughs like a mad man if you rake your nails down his chest and draw blood (bonus points for hurting his nipples), never smacks your ass less than ten times, will cum immediately if you try to bite his ear off. 

If you show even a hint of dissatisfaction after the deed is done, he’s back on top of you in an instant pounding away. 

Is the absolute worst about birth control. Complains incessantly if you make him wear condoms, usually because they’re ‘too small’ and cramp his style, claims he has a latex allergy and condoms give him a rash (literally not true). Annoyed by his whining, you try the pull out method, only to find he’s even worse about that. “But it feels so good.” “I don’t want to pull out.” “Why should I even bother? We both want me to cum inside of you, anyway.” “Stop complaining.” “I didn’t become a pirate to follow rules, y/n.” He does genuinely try to pull out, but he’s so bad at it. You have no choice but to get on some form of pill before you have a little red-haired menace running around. 

Once you do get on that pill, you never don’t have his cum inside you. He cums a cartoonish amount, too, and by the time you’re cleaned out, he’s mounting you again. 

Believes in kissing and telling. In particular, he wants you telling. He wants you getting drunk and telling the bar that his balls are the size of a bull’s. He wants you telling the crew you’re taking it easy because you got dicked down the night before and you’re sore as a motherfucker. He wants you tearing apart the infirmary for bruise cream, loudly announcing it’s because Kid can’t just make love sweetly but has to ride you like an animal every night. 

Loves fucking you out in the open. Usually it's on the deck of the Victoria Punk. Has also fucked you in an alleyway outside a tavern before.

Really loves the idea of a threesome but is far too jealous of a lover to make it work. If you like girls, he’s obsessed with the idea of you being dominated by one. Also enjoys letting other people watch, especially men (strict no touching rule); he wants to show off his prowess. 

That being said, Killer is the exception. Kid is more than happy to switch off with Killer, the two of them tag teaming you until you just can’t take anymore. Killer can even fuck you when Kid’s not there to oversee.

Is secretly a sweet little boy, and it shows in after care. Calls you all sorts of sweet nicknames when you’re in his big arms afterward, but says them quietly in your ear. Tells you that if you disappeared, he would tear the world apart looking for you, and if you died, he would set the world on fire. And he’s just crazy enough to mean it.

Can you do a yandere France with a shy male reader who likes making languages, and speaks their own languages when they feel uncomfortable talking in any other languages? Thank you

Alright, I’ll start with some quick information about Yandere! France

He wants his darling to come to him and be drawn in like a butterfly to a cosmos flower. He liked the love between him and his victim lover to be pure, committed, and romantic. However, in order to obtain this idyllic love, he does a lot of undercover and background work. (*cough* Stalking, sewing the seeds of doubt between you and your family and friends, and having a parasocial relationship with you through his side account that he uses to follow and interact with you. This is how he begins to piece your personality together.) 

Overall, he’s still a pretty sweet and chill yandere compared to the others who aren't as flexible and calm. Just play into his delusion and you’ll have all your fundamental freedoms to have a job, go to university, travel, etc. But he will require that you have breakfast and dinner with him every day.  

Francis was thumbing through some of the notes that Mr. Piere had stolen from you. He’d been itching to find out what your gibberish had translated to. Ever since you’d been assigned to him as one of his head admins, you’d become more jumpy around him and often only ever spoke French before switching to an unintelligible language.

‘I wonder if it’s the pressure that's come with the promotion that has caused them to be all stressed out like this.’ 

He does his 50th read-through and notices that your sentence structure follows….that of his….one of the romance languages. He spent a few more hours trying to decode what you’ve written with little luck. His eyes enjoyed tracing over your neat, small, & composed penmanship. It embodied your vibe perfectly: observant & something to be admired. The subtly of each neat mark that graced the page brimmed over with life that was hidden between the floaty language that had the passion of French and the mystery of an ancient language that’s almost entirely forgotten by the modern age. He ran his hand over the page, closed his eyes, and inhaled deeply. It was as if he was trying to summon understanding into his mind so that he could help you through whatever you were dealing with. He wanted to hold you close and combat your situation for you. 

Francis recognized that his heart fluttered for you whenever you were around. However, he had to mask his true feelings while at work for professionalism. He was never fond of causing trouble for you. Since, after all you were still just a mortal. You had enough issues like death charging at you like a raging bull since it was always so short and…..

He shook his head vigorously like a dog who’d just bathed. He only wanted to think about being able to cuddle you, kiss you on the forehead, and possibly slide his hand into the tent in your pants. How cute would it be when the bush of bright red roses spread across your face? 

‘Y/N would be adorable! Plus, I want to impress them with the best food ever!’ After another few minutes, he looked at the clock, at it read 3:33 am. 

‘Yep, that must be a sign. I will figure out Y/N’s mystery language and we can become closer than some silly… work colleagues. How boring, lame, no je ne sais quoi…Y/N was meant to be my lover like they’re destined to be!’ 

France falls back on his cloudy duvet, daydreaming about what can be real in reality. Once the long, drawn-out meeting for the day finally concluded, he approached you. 

“Bonjour Y/N how are you? It’s been a while since we last spoke!” Francis’ rose & redwood cologne engulfed your nostrils and entire nervous system. The eruption of butterflies flowing from your heart sent shockwaves to all of your heart strings causing you to fall all over yourself and stumble and make your way to the door. 

‘Why now? I still haven’t fully worked out what I want to say to him in French.’ Were one of the many thoughts that was buzzing around in your mind. 

‘Oh god! What if you’re about to get demoted or, even worse, fired!?!?’ 

‘Francis could never like a dopey guy like you!?!’ 

‘I’m fucked!!’ 

France put a reassuring arm around your shoulders to steady you and try to bring you out of your mind. The onset of whole-hearted heat caused all of your involuntary shaking to cease. However much it relaxes you physiologically, it still doesn’t prevent your overactive mind from overthinking…. You honestly just wanted to be at home where you could tell your multilingual diary all about it. 

“Y/N? Y/N?” Francis questions, with worry beginning to crawl into his tone. It jolts you back into reality… where you struggled to conjure up words to speak to the Frenchman. 

“Oh yeah, I’m alright. I just have some boring data entry I have to do for the day before I transcribe all of my meeting notes for the database.” 

<In Danish>

“Y/N, Can you help me out? I got bored and started doodling. Can you give me the last 30 minutes of the meeting notes I could not catch? I know you’re one of the only ones who can translate to Danish here.” The flamboyant Dane shouts from the other side of the room as he attempts to catch up with you. “Or any other language, for that matter!” 

“Oh yeah, of course! Just give me until Friday!” 

“Wait Y/N does this mean you can probably speak Finnish?!” He squealed at having another person to speak to in his native tongue. This outburst prompted others to want to bombard you with other questions in their native tongues. 

You tensed up at the random crowd of nations, all wanting to say something in their language as if you were a new AI chatbot on a beta test run. The many people in your face made you begin to shake and sweat. Francis gripped your shoulder a little tighter and pulled you a little closer to him. He listened somewhat patiently while he began to tap his foot while you did your best to respond in Danish, Finnish, Italian, Russian etc. 

Your shaking returned and subsided like a tide being hit by the moon as you maneuvered through each language, making minor mistakes that amused and awed native speakers. They simply loved hearing you speak their language. 

As the inquiries and requests demanded more and more of you, France began to move his hand from your shoulder to your waist, bringing you in closer to the sea of inquiry.  His feet shuffled backward as your body unconsciously listened. Escape was harrowing since four new nations prevented a smooth exit from the water. As the crowd thickened, your heart picked up the pace; your forehead dripped with water droplets. Francis's grip on your side intensified. Although it was meant to comfort you, it felt like an alligator was mentally gnawing at you. Your fears and anxieties boiled to the forefront of your consciousness—vulnerabilities setting in. Before long, you were speaking in a language comprising words and diction from French and the other two romance languages (Spanish and Italian) and a Slavic sentence structure with other elements only you were privy to. All who’d surrounded you didn’t cease their chatter. While you suddenly spoke in (language name here). 

France had a pompous grin on his face. 

‘HonHonHon. I understood at least two of the words they said! I’m the best! And so is my sweet and smart Y/N!’ Your hand suddenly gripped tightly to his forearm that was around your waist. His light death grip was becoming less comforting and more painful in your anxiety-stricken panic, with swarms of mosquitoes hindering your thought process. The room of many voices pinpricked your ears, making your head swim with confusion while your mouth continued to overflow with (language). Amid the multilingual haze, you began to repeat ‘les secours’ (relief, rescue) at random points in your speech, subconsciously hoping that France would pick up the message. 

France swears that he could feel his heart fly out of his chest and into the heavens. You needed a romance-induced saving and he was more than happy to provide that. 

The meeting room exploded with a flurry of red roses and sparkles. The room went silent as half of all the people there knew: ‘Oh lord. France is on his nonsense again.’  

Like the true magical girl gentleman that he is, he transformed into a fairytale-esque prince outfit. He swept you off your feet and carried you out bridal style. 

“Y/N, let’s go get dinner at (restaurant you’ve been dying to try for a while but hadn’t had the chance to).  I know you’ll love it!” 

A blush spread across your face like a few drops of blood-red wine in a glass of water. The barest nod of a yes prompted France to smile warmly at you as he grabbed onto a vine and jumped out a window.

Audrey’s “attachments” as dogs...

Inspired by this post.

For any of this to make sense you must understand that Audrey and their admin are dog owners and lovers and Audrey is 100% Marie from Aristocats.

1. Claude (oc) - first husband, emotionally abusive, “put down” out of mercy due to old age. - Anatolian Shepherd Dog - imposing and rugged capable of tearing apart coyotes, relatively understated.

2. Désiré (oc) - second husband and second cousin, all forms of abusive, strangled with his own rope. - bull dog - known for their violence and outward “ugliness” I actually like bull dogs just fine, I wouldn’t want to own one. Known to be possessive and violent, capable of brutality don’t live terribly long.

3. Gustave (oc) - third husband, emotionally abusive, more subtle in the physical abuse. Artist, court royalty, aspiring for higher things and a wife. Audrey’s sole love marriage. - Persian mastiff - pretty, known hunting dog, knows what they want and how to get it.

4. Désirée (oc) - sapphic lover at French court - Bichon Frisé - French and relatively harmless, wouldn’t hurt a fly.

5. Maximilian (oc) - a bastard (derogatory) and Audrey’s sire. - Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - a bastard dog, not supposed to happen or occur. They were a “mistake” so to speak. - historically upper class auburn haired lap dogs they’ve been to war and survived what’s more, can tear you up.

6. Lucas (oc)/Lestat de Lioncourt - childhood sweetheart - an actor turned vampire against his will, titled but broke, downright scary sometimes. - golden wolf/golden mastiff.

7. Benjamin Fisher (oc)/Benjamin Tallmadge - Beagle (Tallmadge) and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (Fisher). - Clever, generally “good” and “calm” but if they hate you they can and will track you down and destroy you.

8. Anne Lister - Yorkshire Terrier - technically a “toy” dog - capable of being fierce despite stature, playful, high energy, and usually amiable.

9. Ferid & Blake (ocs) - doberman - dark, downright scary sometimes - loyal to no end if you indulge them.

10. Not a dog but reminder Audrey is 100% Marie from Aristocats.

Tagging: @honorhearted @gentlejack @the-brat-prince-1760 & @lvsteternal. 💖

the people online who really, really hate your beloved pooch.

New Post has been published on https://petnews2day.com/pet-news/dog-news/the-people-online-who-really-really-hate-your-beloved-pooch/

the people online who really, really hate your beloved pooch.

The anti-dog movement does not advocate for the killing of dogs. That is the first rule emblazoned at the top of the r/Dogfree subreddit, where 46,000 subscribers gather every day to dream of a better world. There shall be no “suggesting, joking, wishing for, or celebrating” the destruction of canines; all cruelty, even in hypothetical terms, is a no-go. That said, you shall also not include mealy-mouthed clauses like “I love dogs, but,” or “I don’t like dogs, however,” at the top of your posts, for that demonstrates a fundamental misreading of the community. This is not a place for people who are mildly aggrieved by dogs, or who don’t like a specific dog, or who think that the frilly obsessiveness of the average Upper East Side French bulldog owner can be a little much. No, there are people on this planet who believe that our environment, infrastructure, and society would be a lot better off without the presence of man’s best friend—and once you get past the unthinkable taboo of that premise, you may begin to see that they have a very strong case.

“This is a ‘safe haven’ where our members can engage in discussion about an unpopular opinion,” said one of the moderators of r/Dogfree, when I sent him a message over Reddit. They declined to elaborate further, fearing that a media spotlight would bring unwanted attention from raving, frothy-mouthed dog lovers to their forum—naturally destabilizing the Zen. I found myself more sympathetic to this plea than I thought I’d be. It is hard to think of a single element of Western culture less controversial than dog ownership (putting the fraught question of pit bull bans aside). The owning of non-pit breeds is not a wedge issue between political parties, or an armament in the culture war, or a retrograde regional quirk. No, we have all agreed, for centuries, that owning a dog is normal, which is a consensus that has solidified despite the fact that our sidewalks are paved with feces, and that owners of canines now bring them into environments where they were previously prohibited (gyms, bars, airplanes, and so on). If you witness the purifying intensity of that paradox, as these dog-free posters have, you’d probably go a little crazy too.

The r/Dogfree subreddit unfolds like a catalog of every possible grievance in the anti-dog category. Some posts are basic, open-mic rants, detailing the ironies of pet ownership. “Fuck people who care more about dogs than people,” reads one. “I miss when dogs were pets,” pleads another. (That poster, in particular, harbors a distaste for the sort of unmarried, childless millennials who refer to their pooch as a “fur baby.”) Other regulars put forth longer, more serious tales of canine malfeasance. Here, someone snaps a picture of their cat’s unmarked grave, after it was (the poster said) tragically killed by two unleashed dogs. (“She was very gentle and very curious. She probably thought they wouldn’t hurt her.”) Elsewhere, a poster recounts a story in which they got a patron—and her pit bull—kicked out of the restaurant where they were eating. This is one of the few victories the subreddit can claim. (“I’ve lost many battles on this very subject recently so I felt really vindicated today.”)

The subreddit is popular enough to spawn a handful of sister forums, which are a little less exacting in their tone. For instance, here is r/DogfreeHumor, where you can find some honest-to-God anti-dog memes, while r/TalesfromtheDogHouse brims with personal anecdotes from those who hate dogs but are forced to live with them, often due to an unresolved tension in their marriage. In that sense, the forum is not dissimilar from r/Childfree, where Redditors gather to gripe about societal pressures to reproduce. These are not arenas for actionable political advocacy; the anti-dog contingency is not petitioning the White House or writing to their local Congress member—there is no dog-free bill moldering away in committee. The people here know they’ll be in the stark minority for life; commiseration is their only option.

“I don’t really think there are any solutions. Society has gone too far. I think the world is at a point of no return. If anyone were to suggest anything that would in any way control or regulate dogs, there would be an uproar. It would never work,” says a restaurant manager in Norway who is a frequent contributor to r/Dogfree. We’ll call her “Vivian,” because like everyone else I spoke to for this story, she wishes to remain anonymous. “I use the subreddit as a place where I can vent and feel seen and heard. Almost everyone these days are dog nutters. … I could say I hate a person and that would be OK, but saying I simply don’t like dogs and [don’t] understand the hype? People act as if you committed a literal crime.”

Vivian, like most of the people on the subreddit, can point to a specific instance that triggered her anti-dog radicalization. A roommate she shared a flat with owned two unruly hounds, and living with them, she said, leached the childish pro-canine delusions from her body. “Humans forcing dog culture down my throat only makes me dislike them more,” explains Vivian. Another poster I spoke to—a 26-year-old data entry operator named Ivy, from Bulgaria—also loved dogs as a kid, until the realities of her home country’s stray feral dog problem hardened her to Fidos of all types. (Eastern Europe, for what it’s worth, is in the midst of an unhoused canine epidemic.) “Some of these dogs were known to be aggressive and had bitten some of our neighbors, and me and the other kids knew to avoid those particular dogs,” she says. Like Vivian, Ivy found herself disgusted by the rampant inequality and precarity facing her fellow humans, while dogs lived rent-free—literally—in our heads. “Can you imagine what we could achieve if we gave that unconditional love and support not to dogs but to humans?” she asks.

These are not uncommon stories; I’d reckon that most human beings have had a negative encounter with a dog. In fact, approximately 4.5 million Americans are bitten by canines each year. (Many pit bull­–specific bans on ownership, passed in response to dog-bite stories of the 1970s through the 2000s, are still in place, if controversially so.) But a person doesn’t need to be bitten to have an uncomfortable run-in with a dog—for some, being jumped upon or chased around the yard may count. The difference is that those in the online dog-free community, unlike most people who have had a bad dog experience or two, do not believe that the pros outweigh the cons. A world without dogs, says Vivian, would be a world with less drool, less poop, less noise, and fewer allergens—which is the sort of argument that brings to mind the activists who complain about motorcycles. Here are two beloved traditions adored by a sector of the public—dog ownership, motorcycle riding —that create an unmistakable strain on those outside the immediate orbit of the hobby. The anti-dog radicals are tired of making concessions, and on paper, I can’t blame them.

“From my point of view, it is insane how dog people will literally take this animal out of its natural habitat, imprison it behind four concrete walls while they’re out at work and expect it not to go crazy,” says Ivy. “They go completely nuts in a completely unnatural environment for them and they can’t do anything about it because the dog person has taken their freedom away.”

I am likely more sympathetic to this argument than you are. A few weeks ago I wrote a story campaigning for an uncompromising canine ban in New York City because, as Ivy mentioned, I cannot think of a single more inhospitable place for an ambulatory quadruped than a Lower East Side studio apartment. I’d go as far as to say that every single dog I’ve ever met in an urban environment seems to vibrate with anxiety, and if we’re being honest, maybe some sort of backyard access should be compulsory to pet ownership. That said, there is a ruthless fanaticism to r/Dogfree that I can’t quite get behind, and I suppose that makes me more of an anti-dog moderate. One Reddit poster I interviewed laid out a list of potential balms for his dog issues, including “citations for noisy dog owners” and a euthanasia policy for any hounds that display “aggressive qualities.” (They added that they were a huge animal lover.) I also caught wind of a YouTube channel, called simply, “I Hate Dogs,” which is popular in the dog-free community and roils with an ugly rage for all forms of canine companionship (one choice video title: “Dog Lovers Are Dishonest, Delusional, Perpetual Liars”).

Asian Americans Helped Build Affirmative Action. What Happened?

All of this, I think, is indicative of how digital camaraderie can supercharge a whiff of exasperation into a keening, white-hot boil. It is abundantly clear that there are bigger issues facing the world than the indignities of a culture that normalizes dog ownership. But a subreddit like r/Dogfree has a way of encouraging the brinkmanship of posting—posters prodding one another further and further out on a limb to solidify their revolutionary bona fides. After 2016, everything has become factional and polarized—normalcy has gone out of style, and ridiculous, intractable stalemates are all the rage. That goes for our politics, and that goes for people who don’t like dogs.

But perhaps, someday, moderates like me will have their day in the sun. We will set aside our euthanasia mandates and curdled invective, and instead ask some commonsense questions. Why is that Siberian husky living in a 30th-floor one-bedroom apartment? Why is that Rottweiler running around the cul-de-sac unleashed? “Humans deserve better treatment in society, and dogs deserve that too—like a more suitable environment for them to be themselves,” says Ivy. Now that’s the sort of sentiment that haters and lovers alike can get behind.

Turned 3yrs old

2020年12月27日（日）

我が家の愛犬コウメが無事に3歳になりました。迎え入れたのは5ヶ月半だから2年半も一緒にいるなんてあっという間なのか、まだそんなしか経ってないのか。

2020年のコロナ禍で色んな事が変わったけれどもコウメと過ごす時間が増えて本当に良かった。在宅で働く日は毎朝晩散歩行って、一緒に妻の送り迎え行って、24時間一緒にいれる日も多くて割と幸せ。

毎日可愛くて、ニンニンしてて、いつも一生懸命で、優しく僕らに寄り添ってくれて、かけがえのないを超越する存在。今年から一緒にベッドで寝るようになって、今冬からは本人も寒いのかベッドの中に入ってくれるようになって嬉し愛しいかぎり。

日に日に良い子で可愛くなっていくその姿を一緒に見れて、共に成長できるのは本当に感慨深い。我が家の子になってくれて本当にありがとう。

年末年始は実家で過ごしたが、実家の愛犬コロ介とも仲良くなって昨年とは大違いでした。

もう本当に、日本全国の、いや全世界の皆様に、うちの愛犬が可愛すぎてごめんなさいと謝りたい。

今日は年末年始の疲れが出たのか、コウメは横でずーっと寝ています。

Never mind your wallet. Armed robbers want your French bulldog.

Never mind your wallet. Armed robbers want your French bulldog.

The French bulldog business is booming for Jaymar Del Rosario, a breeder whose puppies can sell for tens of thousands of dollars. When he leaves the house to meet a buyer, his checklist includes veterinary paperwork, a bag of puppy kibble and his Glock 26 pistol. “If I don’t know the area, if I don’t know the people, I always carry my handgun,” Del Rosario said on a recent afternoon as he…

[karasuno] what type of dog they own

———

Warnings: none, fluff

ᥫ᭡ Hinata: Fell in love with a stray he found on the streets of Brazil and doesn’t know/care the breed. He’s an active dog, rivaling Hinata when it comes to stamina on their morning and evening jogs. The dog has a beautiful multi-colored coat that Hinata keeps well brushed and fluffy. Will get stopped by ladies, babies, and everyone in between for a pat.

ᥫ᭡ Kageyama: A big fluffy samoyed! but he didn’t know the name of his dog’s breed until someone commented it on an insta post of his. He just really enjoys how the smiley face of his dog contrasts his seemingly cold demeanor, and how smart she is. Does struggle to keep her coat nice and white though.

ᥫ᭡ Yamaguchi: He keeps a quiet life and wanted a dog that would easily fit in with his routine. His english cocker spaniel was a perfect fit into his daily routine. The two spend afternoons curled up on the couch, or enjoying a nice stroll to the convince store nearby. Frequently buys new sweaters or bandanas for his good boy.

ᥫ᭡ Tsukishima: Crusty white dog energy. She’s a maltese but kept with a puppy cut- named her sue after the largest t-rex skeleton ever found. Neither of them are very high energy and she doesn’t need out that frequently. Sweet girl is often sleeping in his lap while he works in his office.

ᥫ᭡ Yachi: Fell for the golden doodle trend but who can blame her. She runs a doggie Instagram for him that is actually quite popular and will get stopped on the street when they frequent dog friendly cafes. He’s a sweet boy but incredibly protective of Yachi and will bark at any one who he senses is making her nervous.

ᥫ᭡ Tanaka: Street pit bull to sweater baby pipeline at its finest. One of the first things he did when he moved out is rescue this sweet baby boy. Tanaka uses this as an excuse to stay fit, and will frequently take him for walks/jogs. Fully convinced the matching sweaters they have on are a ladies magnet.

ᥫ᭡ Noya: Small man: big dog. He just thinks english mastiffs are really rad. The two are quite the sight out on the town, mostly because people are amazed at how his dog isn’t pulling him off of his feet. The size of him does make it difficult for Noya’s frequent travel but he makes it work. The two are often found on his boat.

ᥫ᭡ Asahi: Large man: tiny dog. The embodiment of a lap dog, his yorkie terrier is spoiled to the max. Asahi’s career in fashion design actually allows him to bring her with him most days complete with small bag and everything. When him and Noya meet up, people think their dogs are switched and a few heads turn when it’s Asahi picking up the handbag.

ᥫ᭡ Suga: French bulldog lover, has been dreaming about owning one since primary school. Him and his handsome boy match well with their contrasting grey hair. Will use bringing his dog into school as a bribe for his students good behavior. Suga is really into dog training, and this good boy knows many tricks- makes the kids go crazy with play dead for hours.

ᥫ᭡ Daichi: No, he doesn’t have a German Shepard. His boxer was the family dog back in high school but he is so attached to the sweet girl he snuck her to his apartment as soon as he was done with the Academy. The two have a strict walk routine even at her older age, and will jog for long distances around the neighborhood every morning. She has the shiniest coat from her incredibly well rounded diet.

ᥫ᭡ Kiyoko: A Pomeranian that thinks it’s a cat. She had two cats when she decided to adopt her dog as a puppy. Poor thing doesn’t understand why it can’t jump as far her brother and sister. Similarly to Yachi she owns a popular Instagram for her dog and the two will frequently collab for photo shoots.

Hidden Gifts

It’s time to move on. Carl still lies in the backyard under a mum and a spread of ivy that is covering up where there used to be churned up dirt. Time to look in a different direction. A time for leaving the path that I have been so accustomed to and finally putting it to rest.

Bee’s ears perked up by the mention of a walk. Her body came to life at this simple word. Instead of being told to…
